This Lord & Burnham house of the Idle Hour Nurseries
is CO feet wide and 159 feet long.
Things to Think Over
About Our Two
Constructions
fpl^Y the two, we mean the Semi-iron or Pipe
I wj Frame, and the Sectional Iron Frame.
The Seini-iron materials cost less to
buy but cost more to erect than the Iron Frame.
The Iron Frame materials cost more to
buy but cost less to erect.
The masonry, the glass, the painting, the
heating and the benching cost exactly the same
for either.
For houses of moderate
widths, the Semi -iron
makes the best house
possible for the money.
For widths beyond 38
feet, the Semi-iron re-

of

comes the more desirable.
The following paragraph is from a letter re-
cently received from D. C. Ilorgaa, owner of the
Idle Hour Nurseries, one of whose houses is
shown above. It speaks for itself:
"Your concern has been exceedingly kind to
us in the past, and you cau rest assured that if
we are ever in the market for any mure green-
house material we will not show a lack of appre-
ciation for what you have done for us. When
concerns treat us rght we believe in sticking to
them, and we think your concern is one of the
whitest in the country."
Why don't you write
us the size of house you
are thinking of building,
along with the particulai'S
about its location and the
crops you want to grow ?
Then we will gladly
advise you as to the con-
struction that seems best
adapted to your purposes.

IT LASTS A SEASON
The Newest Florists' Accessory
A^Waterproof Covering: for Flower PotiB and Flower Boxes. Manufactured from
wood and can be cut with shears. Crepe -wood is an ideal covering for potted plants and
boxes. It is manufactured from thin sheets of veneer and reinforced with strong thread seams. It
stands the water and does not become mushy and soiled like paper. For window decorations and
display stands it is especially suited, as the plants may be sprinkled with a can or hose
without removing the covering.
HOW TO MAKE A FLOWER BOX
SB
w
il
f?
.^m
B~^5&^-i£..'i-. '_ ^, '
'• ■
Simply unroll around any old box and tack in
position. A liber ribbon tied around the sides of the
box adds to the appearance. Lath, stained dark
green and tacked on, to create a paneled effect,
makes a permanent flower box which may be used
outdoors if desired. Potted plants may be used in
the box for display if desired.
FOR FLOWER POTS AND POTTED PLANTS
Crepe -wood is tied around the pot with a ribbon, cord or wire. Try it in your window or display
stand. Don't be afraid to wet it.
SEND 20 CENTS FOR SAMPLE ROLL. 8 INCHES WIDE. 10 FEET LONG
PHOTO OF A ROLL OF CREPE-WOOD
Growers as well as florists
will find this material fine
for tacking around small
boxes of tulips and spring
flowers.
Temporarily we will
fill orders from
the factory upon receipt

2 Beautiful Novelty Roses
PRIMEROSE
It's like Sunburst and it's like Ophelia.
Better and more even color all winter than Sun-
burst and grows and produces better.
Deeper in color and stronger, darker foliage than
Ophelia.
A money-maker for the grower and a fine new color
for the store man that wants novelties.
Come here and see it growing.
ROSALIE
(Baby Chatenay)
A beautiful small rose. Probably best described as
junior in size, as it's somewhat larger than Brunner
and the other small roses.
A long pointed bud of beautiful clear pink, similar
to the parent— Abel Chatenay. The foliage and habit
are also similar.
Profitable for the grower because so free, and a splen-
did corsage rose and make-up rose for the store man.
Come here and see it growing.

HEW ROSES
|E are growing on our place the finest collection
of seedling roses ever produced.
Such is the verdict of many of the best rose
growers in America.
They represent the crowning effort of Mr. E. G. Hill's
life, spent as a rose hybridizer.
Ophelia, the queen of present-day "forcers," is the mother
of them all.
They possess the sturdy growth and disease-resisting foli-
age of their parent.
We wish to announce that we will disseminate, from time
to time, in conjunction with The E. G. Hill Co., this superb
lot of real money-making roses.
Come and see them growing.
We can give you quotations, in limited quantities, on well
grown Grafted Roses.
Carnations and Chrysanthemums, both in cuttings and
plants.
Write for quotations.

The Florists' Review
Hamburg Late White
Chrysanthemum
The examining
committees of the Chrysanthemum Society of America scored Hamburg Late White as follows:
PHILADELPHIA, December 14 .... 88 points, commercial
BOSTON, December 14 83 points, commercial
NEW YORK, December 18 85 points, commercial
This picture was taken December 10, 1916, and will give a good idea of what Hamburg Late
White looks like when grown to single stems, planted six inches each way.
Hamburg Late White is pure white under all weather conditions, and is a sport of White
Maud Dean, but has no trace of pink as has the original.
The average grower of Chrysanthemums must have varieties which are easy to handle, and
from which he can cut as near 100% of perfect blooms as possible. Hamburg Late White
has been grown for the last four years, and produces a very high proportion of good flowers.
It is not an exhibition variety, but for late white, one of the best for commercial purposes. It
can be had in bloom the latter part of November, by taking an early bud; but by selecting
later buds, most of the flowers are cut during December, and we would advise a selection of
late buds, as the later buds come somewhat fuller, and by selecting late buds, flowers can be
had as late as the middle of January.
Keeping qualities are excellent, and where a light, graceful white flower is wanted, Hamburg
Late White cannot be surpassed.
Hamburg Late White will be disseminated in the spring of 1917. Plants will be ready
April 1, 1917, and all orders will be filled in rotation.

The New Queen of Red Roses
The color is a new and brilliant red. The petals
are large (see illustration), and soft and velyety in
texture.
Leaves are large, well shaped and rich green in color.
Its shipping and keeping qualities are remarkable.
A dozen specimen roses were brought by train from
Champaign to Chicago, taken to several places, in-
spected and Anally left lying on a de^k in our office.
Though in bloom when finally put in water and
placed in our refrigerator, we
found them closed to buds in thc
morning.
Mrs. Sarah Teats is not an
experimental rose, but one that
has been successfully produced
under ordinary greenhouse con-
ditions.
This photographic reproduction
shows the actual size of the
bloom on the Mrs. Sarah Yeats
rose.
Stems run from eighteen to forty-two inches
long without pinching.

THE NATIONAL FLORAL RIBBON HOUSK
Ownars and Oparators of Warbro Ribben Mfc Co., Pataraon, N. I.
Salesrooms, 19-25 East 24th St. NEW. YORK
The American Carnation Society held its twe^itij -sixth annual meeting
and exhibition this week at Indianapolis, in the heart of the Indiana car-
nation helt. The success of the affairwas achieved along lines made famil-
iar by being closely followed for several years. Has progress slowed up?
ONE of us will concede
that progress has ceased to
be made in the develop-
ment of the carnation,
once dubbed "pink" and
^ ^ later rechristened the
^^ — "divine" flower; but it
is contended by many that
the pace has slowed down.
The exhibition which
opened at the Claypool hotel, Indian-
apolis, January 31, while perhaps more
attractive than any previous showing
of carnations in the middle west, owed
its success to the participation of the
retailers rather than to the advance
made by the growers.
This was the twenty-sixth annual ex-
hibition of the American Carnation
Society and for several years it
has been at work along the same lines,
holding its meeting
in a popular hotel,
arranging a show
for the public and
inviting the flower-
lovers of the com-
munity to come and
admire. Even at In-
dianapolis, where
the carnation at its
best is well known,
there was nothing
but praise for the
quality of the stock
shown. It was good
— almost too good,
for the average
grower appreciates
that he cannot com-
pete and does rot
enter his stock,
with the result that
the annual shows
are almost wholly
made by a few spe-
cialists.
Good CultuTe.
High culture is
the outstanding fea-
ture of these shows.
The exhibitors al-
most to a man are
possessed of unusual
ability as growers
and the stock they
stage is of such
splendid quality
that it takes a
mighty good nov-
elty to make a
showing that will
command favorable
attention when it is

than ever apparent that the effort to
increase the size of the carnation has
been abandoned; it looks as though, by
general agreement, the modern carna-
tion is large enough, at least that
greater size is not desirable until form,
substance, fragrance and stem have
been further developed, while the
grower of average ability, ground be-
tween rising costs and falling prices,
will assert that floriferousness, produc-
tivity, is what is wanted of the novel-
ties— sorts that will give more than the
twenty blooms per plant which now is
considered a good average by those who
keep count.
The size of the Indianapolis show was
helped by two factors, first of which
is the fact that carnations have been
more plentiful and lower in price this
January than at this time in any of
the last few years,
while Indianapolis
is one of the most
accessible of west-
ern cities. The ex-
hibitor farthest
from home was
Strout 's, of Bidde-
ford, Me., but Bos-
ton growers were
well represented
and the Cottage
Gardens upheld the
banner of Long
Island growers. The
eastern specialists
always have been
staunch supporters
of the society.
Dominant Varieties.
The Indianapolis
show served to dem-
onstrate the stay-
ing qualities of the
varieties that have
been in the lead the
last few years.
Flesh pink still
predominates; just
as Enchantress is
the most abundant
variety in the mar-
kets, so is Enchant-
ress color the lead-
ing one in the ex-
hibitions. But
where the market
growers as a body
cling to Enchant-
ress, the special-
ists have discarded
it and use Enchant-
ress Supreme, Pink

The Florists' Review
Febhuaky 1, 1917.
Delight, Gloriosa or Alice.
Matchless is without a serious com-
petitor among disseminated varieties
when it comes to a quality white, al-
though White Enchantress still is far
more abundant in the average commis-
sion house.
Nothing has appeared to displace
Mrs. C. W. Ward as the best medium
pink.
Gorgeous, the quality flower among
the dark i>inks, nearly has been
dropped, for slowness, and Eosette is
the principal variety in its color.
The keenest competition is in reds.
Beacon has not been satisfactory, al-
though still largely grown, and last year
three new ones. Belle Washburn, Avia-
tor and Nebraska, lined up with Cham-
pion in the effort to displace it. They
have not been in the hands of the gen-
eral run of growers long enough to have
settled their relative standing, but this
year live new reds or scarlets are joining
in tJie race. Merry Christmas, Thenan-
thoti, Doris, Radium and Cornell.
The New Varieties.
Among the varieties being sent out
this season interest centers on the fol-
lowing:
Eosalia is another of the long line of
novelties raised by F. Dorner & Sons
Co., La Fayette, Ind. It is cerise pink,
a color in which there is little competi-
tion. Rosette, also a Dorner introduc-
tion, is almost the only representative
of the class, but the Dorners assert their
belief that Rosalia will displace Rosette.
While the flowers show up well on the
exhibition table, the originators claim
its special merit is in the Jiabit of
growth.
Cottage Maid, while being dissemi-
nated this year, is so well known to the
regular attendants at the A. C. S. meet-
ings that it seems scarcely to class as
new. It was the winner in the flesh
])ink class at St. Louis a year ago at the
St. Louis show, where it also took the
sweepstakes for best entry in the color
classes for 100 blooms. It also has
been seen at the other shows at Phila-
dcl[)hia, Cleveland and New York. It
is a sport of Mrs. C. W. Ward, identical
in all but color, and the disseminators,
the Cottage Gardens Co., Queens, L. I.,
have been sending it to the New York
market for several years.
Merry Christmas, described as scarlet,
is the result of a long series of crosses,
beginning with Victory and Beacon. It
was raised by Baur & Steinkamp, at
Indianapolis, and has been a factor in
the Christmas supply there for several
years. The bloom is of good size and
form, carried on strong stems. It is
claimed that it seldom splits.
Arawana is a bright crimson seed-
ling raised by A. N. Pierson, Inc.,
Cromwell, Conn. The color speaks for
itself and the stem and calyx are good.
The flower is of moderate size and the
originator says that as a market va-
riety it has paid better than any other
crimson that has been tried at Cromwell.
Old Gold is yellow, the latest of many
raised by F. Dorner & Sons Co., La I'ay-
ette, Ind. While yellow carnations have
had no vogue in this country, there has
been a large sale for them abroad and
the introducers claim this is the best to
date.
Radium was raised at the New Castlo
establishment of P. J. dinger. It is a
cross of Victory on O. P. Bassett. The
color is scarlet, the blooms of large size,
with good stem and calyx. The origina-
tor claims for the variety that it is an
excellent producer and is specially good
for shipping because it does not go to
sleep. It has/ been known in the Cin-
cinnati market for the last two years.
Superb is "a new color in the flesh pink
class, being decidedly on the salmon or-
der. It is a seedling of Enchantress
crossed with Gloriosa. The bloom is of
good size and form, carried on a stiff
stem. It has been seen at most of the
flower shows of the last three years,
during which time it has been grown
by the originator, the J. D. Thompson
Carnation Co., Joliet, 111.
Thenanthos, raised by Anton Then,
Chicago, and being distributed by the
A. L. Randall Co., although red, is t^aid
to be a seedling of Enchantress, crossed
with another red seedling that had the
blood of Mrs. Nelson and Mrs. Lawson.
It is possible, therefore, to trace its par-
entage back to Wm. Scott. It has been
shown at Chicago for three or four years
and there has been a steady improve-
ment in the blooms. Strong claims are
made for it as a producer.
Doris was first seen at the A. C. S.
show at St. Louis last year, where it
scored eighty-eight points after being
shipped from Framingham, Mass.,
where the seedling was raised by S. J.
Goddard. It is a crimson, of excellent
form and substance, with strong stem
and calyx.
Cornell is the name given by Ira G.
Marvin, Wilkes-Barre, Pa., to a red
seedling grown at his place for several
years and which now is being shown to
the trade for the first time. It is not
of the largest size, but strong claims
are made for it as a commercial "bread
and butter" variety.
Albert Roper is a cerise seedling ex-
hibited at previous shows as No. 360. It
was raised by the late Albert Roper, of
Tewksbury, Mass., and will be dissemi-
nated in a limited way by his estate.
It is not a large flower, but is said to
be a good bloomer and a profitable va-
riety on the Roper place. It is known
to many in the Boston market.
Next Year's Novelties.
Among the varieties that will be put
on the market next year Crystal White
stands out as the finest white thus far
produced. It is described as an im-
proved Matchless, being without the
least trace of pink. In addition to pur-
ity of color it has excellent form. It
was raised at Cottage Gardens, the cross
having been made by C." W. Ward him-
self. It has won many prizes on the
exhibition table, having been first
shown at Cleveland in 1915.
Olive Whitman is a red seedling
raised by M. Matheron, at Baldwins,
Ij. I., who will send it out next year
jointly with Guttman & Raynor, New
York. It is a cross of Victory and
Beacon.
Other varieties seen for the first time
which probably will be distributed in
1918 or later were: No. 1,489, flesh
pink, Dorner; Bernice, scarlet, Howard;
Portland's Pride, red, Frank & Sons;
Laddie, Dorner; No. 414, Baur & Stein-
kamp; Edna, Zweifel; Serin and Ruffus.

history of the A. C. S. there were
chrysanthemums at its show. The
varieties were Hamburg Late White, ex-
hibited by W. F. Kasting Co., Buffalo,
for the originator, C. F. Guenther, Ham-
burg, N. Y., and Mistletoe, staged by
H. P. Smith. ^
J. A. Peterson & Sons, Cincinnati,
sliowed begonias and cyclamens.
The A. L. Randall Co., Chicago, set
up a vase of the new red rose, Mrs.
Sarah Yeats, grown by its originator, J.
F. Yeats, Champaign, 111.
Carl Hagenburgcr, Mentor, 0., showed

Peter Weiland, New Castle, Iiul.,
made a display of sweet peas.
Deerfield Nursery, Deerfield, 111.,
showed Kadiance, a new seedling sweet
pea.
Rose-pink Ophelia, staged by Fred
Breitmeyer, Mt. Clemens, Mich., at-
tracted much attention, largely because
Ophelia, from which it is a sport, has
proved tractable in the hands of many
growers who have indifferent success
with the Killarney varieties and who
will welcome another color in it.
Bertermann Bros. Co., Indianapolis,
showed fine snapdragons.
W. J. & M. S. Vesey, Fort Wayne,
Ind., staged an excellent table of
orchids.
Zech & Mann, Chicago, put up a dis-
play of exceptionally long-stemmed
I'urity freesia.
Table decorations were staged by the
Ilill Floral Co., Bertermann Bros. Co.,
A. Wiegand's Sons Co., Claypool Hotel
Florist, Hensley's Flower Shop and
Pahud Floral Co.
The Business Session.
The cultural ability of those who at-
tend the annual meeting of the Ameri-
can Carnation Society is shown by the
fact that the reading of essays has been
discontinued; the members no longer
care to spend the time in listening to set
papers on topics which, with them at
least, are threadbare. The nearest ap-
proach to a program this year was in
the secretary's announcenient that a
discussion of the "yellows" would take
place.
The morning of the first dav of the
meeting was devoted to staging the ex-
hibits, a work which, if not participated
in, is watched by most of those present.
The hall was closed in the earlv after-
noon to all except the judges "and the
secretary, but was opened to members
from the completion of the judging until
8 p. m., when the doorg were opened to
the public. At the same time the an-
nual business session started in an ad-
joining room.
The address of President Ammaim
and the report of Secretary Baur appear
in full in this issue, together with a
summary of Treasurer Dorner's finan-
cial statement.

SECEETABY'S REPORT.
[The followiiiK is tlio report of Scfrctary A. K.
,7 Baur, presented to tlii' Aiiiericiiii Ciiriiatioii So-
ciety at its meeting at Indianapolis, .laniiary :U.
lltn.]
During the last twelve months tlie
secretary's office has been unusually
busv. With our participation in the
National Flower Show in Philadelphia
last March and the soliciting of funds
in aid of Miss Anna Jarvis, there has
V)een much extra work and some addi-
tional expense. The receipts, however,
have also increased somewhat, though
not quite so much as the expense, so
that at the end of this fiscal year we
find ourselves with somewhat less cash
in the general fund than a year ago, but
still in good condition.
Financial Statement.
During the last year the secretary's
office has received:
Dues $ 729.00
Advertising 261.85
Jlisiellancous 46.0.")
.Mothers' day 154.00
Total $1,190.90
All of which was turned over to the
treasurer and his receipt taken therefor.
The secretary's and treasurer's books
^vere checked over by a public auditor
and found correct. All bills are being
met promptly and all accounts due the
society are being collected without loss.
We are pleased to note that twenty-six
])ages of advertising space in this year's
premium schedule were taken by our
members and friends. We feel that our
members should make an effort to j.at-
lonize these adxTrtisers as much as
))Ossible, in order to make it worth their
while to use these pages as an advertis-
ing medium.
Membership Decreasing.
The one department that gives your
secretary more concern than any other
is the membership list. During the last
year we have taken in forty-five new
members and reinstated six; yet, in spite
of this unusual number of additions,
we are now thirteen members behind
last report. The list now stands at .''.12
annual members and twelve life mem-
bers, making a total of 324.
During the year we have lost Albert
Roper, who died March 1; Wm. F.
Kasting, who died June 15; Thos. C.
•Toy, who died November 10, and W. E.
Krocschell, who died November 23. All
of these men were favorably known to
most of you and will be missed at our
conventions.
We have 217 members in good stand-
ing in the Society of American Florists
and therefore continue to be represented
on its board of directors. Our present
president, Mr. Ammann, was selected to
that position, to serve during the year
1917.
New Varieties.
Since the last meeting, we have re-
ceived seven new varieties for registra-
tion. Fourteen others were sent over
by the Perpetual Flowering Carnation
Society of England.
A special silver medal was struck to
commemorate the society's twenty-fifth
year and was awarded to each winner of
a first premium in the carnation section
at the National Flower Show in Phila-
delphia last March. Those who received
the medal are S. J. Goddard, E. G. Hill
Co., Strafford Flower Farms, J. W. Mi-
nott Co., E. F. Lieker, Cottage Gardens
Co., A. A. Pembroke, Strouts, 'Wni.
Kleinheinz, W. L. Ellis, Wm. Graham,
Mrs. Wm. Austin, A. Harvey & Sons,
Countess Eulalia and W. E. Lenk, fif-
teen in all.
This society took an active part in
the National Flower Show in Philadel-
jdiia last March. Not only did we pre-
pare the premium schedule and the rules
for staging the carnation section of the
show, but members of this society con-
tributed $515 toward paying the premi-
ums of this department, thereby reduc-
ing the liability of the management to
that extent.
Changes in Premiums.
Early in the year the secretary, by
direction of the board of directors,
solicited funds from the members for
the Mothers' Day fund which was be-
ing raised by the Society of American
Florists, for the purpose of assisting
Miss Jarvis in promoting that day. As
a result, $154 was raised and sent to
Secretary Young.
The board of directors held the cus-
tomary post convention meeting Janu-
ary 27, in St. Louis. A second meeting
was held in Philadelphia March 28, in-
stead of the usual midsummer meeting.
At this meeting some changes were
made in the premiums offered in most
of the classes contained in the premium
schedule for this year's exhibition. In
Section A, classes 1 to 11, the premiums
were raised from $10 and $6 to $15 and
$10. In Section B, classes 12 to 36,
the premiums were raised from $5 and
$3 to $8 and $5. In Section C only
one premium, $10, is offered instead of
$6 and $4. These changes have in-
creased our liability on premiums by
$219. Five disseminators have again
generously contributed the premiums in
Section C.
The identification badges you are
wearing were provided as a result of
the action taken in the meeting at St.
Louis last year. They are the most
practical article we were able to find
for the purpose. If they are satisfac-
tory, we will continue to use them.
The arrangements for this meeting
were left entirely in the hands of our
vice-president, W. J. Vesey, Jr., and
his committees selected from the Indi-
ana State Florists' Society. That
they have labored earnestly and har-
moniously y6u can see by the results
accomplished. The retail men have
again come forward with a splendid
demonstration of the carnation's adap-
tability for decorative effects. They
should be given credit and every en-
couragement possible.

THE PRESIDENT'S
s^ ANNUAL ADDRESS
iiiiiiiiiimn
nri 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiaJMffliiiiiiiinniiffll ifflniiiiiiiiim
S presiding oflScer of this
organization, that has so
vastly advanced the inter-
ests not only of carnation
culture, but floriculture in
general, I deem it indeed an
honor to welcome you to
this, the twenty-sixth annual meeting
of the American Carnation Society, in
this beautiful and centrally located
city of Indianapolis.
It is not necessary for me to repeat
at this time the history of this organi-
zation. SuflSce it to say that I feel
more and more, as I grow older, the
touch of good fellowship that a meet-
ing like this brings with it.
Making Life Worth Living.
Here we commingle in brotherly Jcvo
with fellow craftsmen from all aver
this fair land of peace and prosperity.
Here we renew old acquaintances and
make new ones. Now and then we miss
an old, familiar face; we ask the rea-
son, and find that he has passed on to
the Great Beyond. As with the old va-
rieties of our beloved carnations, wo
miss them, but never forget them! It
is these fond greetings and memories
that really make life worth living,
after all.
To the members of our craft wlio
are so diligently
working to produce
new varieties of
merit, we are prob-
ably more indebted
than we realize,
for were it not for
something new occa-
sionally the public
interest would soon
wane. The Amer-
ican people are
great on fads, and,
in order to keep up
an interest, new
things of special
merit are always in
demand.
A Good Example.
I dare say noth-
ing has popularized
the rose so much
the last few years
as the coming on of
so many new varie-
ties of merit, and
the end is not yet,
which I am sure
you will be con-
vinced of in your
visit to the E. G.
Hill Co. place at
Richmond. A friend
recently told me it
was worth a trip
across the continent
to see the seedling
roses there, so I
went and I now tes-
tify that the state-
ment ia true. We
see here what one
Tlie full text of the address of J. F. Animaiiii,
president of the Aniericun Carnation Society, de-
livered at the convention at Indianapolis, January
31. 1917.
firm can do by untiring effort in roses.
I contend the same must be done in
I'arnations in order to keep this flower
as popular in the future as it has been
in the past.
Is Something Lacking?
Much, indeed, is being done along
this line by quite a few of our trusty
old friends, but what seems just at this
time to be lacking in the new produc-
tion of carnations is that they have not
enough merit to replace many of thu
older varieties. Either they do not pro-
duce enough to be profitably grown as
standards, or the quality is not good
(MiOugh to command the extra price a
fancy should. But all good things
come to those who wait; so let us be
l)atient and I am sure we shall soon be
rewarded.
I have but a few suggestions to ofiFcr
at this time. One recommendation I
would offer is that the number of
blooms necessary for a preliminary cer-
tificate for the Dorner memorial medal
be changed from fifty to twenty-five.
It has been suggested that many "times
it is hard to get fifty good blooms from
J. F. Ammann.
(President American Carnation Society.)
a new variety where not so many plants
are grown.
We have an ever-growing demand for
the society's cooperation with local
flower shows, which I am sure we can
not afford to ignore. At the meeting of
the board of directors in Cleveland No-
vember 12, 1915, a motion Avas passed
to the effect that the board recommend
to the convention following in January
that the A. C. S. lend its cooperation to
local flower shows, provided the sched-
ule, the judges and the underwriting of
said show be approved by the president
and secretary of this society.
To Encourage Exhibitors.
I take it that the intention was to
liave the society offer its usual medals
and certificates. However, this matter
never came before the regular January
meeting of the society, owing, I guess,
to an oversight. I feel it is of such im-
portance that I would recommend that
at this meeting the officers be author-
ized to carry out the intent of this reso-
lution, or that at least some action be
taken toward such cooperation. For the
more we can increase the exhibits of
carnations the more we can popularize
the flowers.
I would recommend, also, that the
secretary be authorized to place an ad-
vertisement in each
of the trade papers
when the premium
schedule is ready,
calling attention to
the fact that pre-
mium lists are to be
had for the applica-
tion, and asking
those who are not
members to include
the membership fee,
so as to be eligible
to exhibit.
Words of Thanks.
I believe s ;: c h
publicity will not
only help us to get
more exhibitors,
but also new mem-
bers. On behalf of
the society I want
to extend thanks to
the trade press for
the vast amount of
free publicity given
the carnation wben-
e v e r opportunity
presented itself.
In closing I want
to heartily thank
the secretary, Mr.
Baur, for his kind
cooperation and ad-
vice in many
things; also Mr.
Vesey, our worthy
vice-president, for
his untiring efforts
in leading on the
preliminary work of
this meeting and

be found just the thing for geraniums.
Of course you ])ropagated geraniums
heavily in the fall, but you may wish
to increase your stock. If so, take Ihe
tops from the strongest plants, pot
singly in small pots in sandy loam and
stand them where they can get a little
bottom heat. Water well at first, but
more sparingly later, until the cuttings
are rooted. Such cuttings can go in
for the next month or more and will
make nice 3-incli pot stock for late
spring sales, but of course will not pro-
duce as large plants as are obtained
from fall cuttings. When you have
taken the cuttings, let the plants run
somewhat dry for a few days until they
break away again; then water more
freely. Throw away any diseased
])laiits, and if a batch of them shows
round blotches on the foliage, watch
them carefully. This trouble is quite
l)rovalent at this season. It is a safe
plan to spray with Fungine or Bordeaux
mixture as soon as it appears. The.
trouble is most likely to appear on
]dants which are grown Avarni and which
have become soft in a too moist atmos-
phere. Keep water off the foliage all
you can and see that debris is not
thrown lielow the benches.
Standard Geraniums.
A correspondent asks how he can
produce standard or tree geraniums. It
takes rather longer to grow these than
ordinary bedding jdants and, of course,
a good price must be got for them. Se-
lect vigorous young plants which have
not been pinched. Kub off all side
shoots. Use a stake for each plant, to
keep the stems as straight as possible.
Pinch off all flowers and all side shoots
as thoy appear and pot on as it be-
comes necessary. When the ])lants have
leaclu'd the heiglit desired, wliicli should
be from eighteen to thirty inches, pinch
out the top and it will break out in
several places. The new shoots, in turn,
will need ]>inching from time to time
until you build u]* a good head. Be
sure to use a good stake in each ]>ot,
to hold the stems and heads securely.
The stake should rise a little above the
point where the head starts to branch.
You will have nice standards by fall,
and if kept soiiicwlint dry over winter
they ought to command an excellent
price the next season.
In addition to geraniums, standards
of fuchsia.s, lautanas, hydrangeas, helio-
tropes, marguerites, in the white varie-
ties, and otlier plants may be grown
in the same way. (irown in this way,
such plants prove to be attractive fea-
tures at exhibitions and in store win-
flows. They nr(< also fine for dotting at
intervals in flower bcijs, with lower-
growing jilants Ixdow them.
Winter-flowering Geraniums.
Any time from now until March 1 is
a suitable time to ttike cuttings of gera-
niums wanted for winter blooming. Of
February 1, 1917.
The Florists' Review

course it is possible to propagate even
as late as May 1 and still have plants
in 4-inch pots for Thanksgiving or
Christmas trade. Such plants, however,
are rather too small. Propagated now,
they will flower in 6-inch pots, and if
kept potted on, given one or t"wo neces-
sary pinches and grown under glass
through the summer, such plants should
carry for the holidays anywhere from
six to fifteen open trusses of flowers
each, and there will be no trouble in
selling them. Singles are more florif-
erous in winter than doubles and are
best for home trade, but for shipping
it will be necessary to grow semi-dou-
bles and doubles. Of course the bright
colors are what people will mostly buy,
but try a few of the apricot or salmon-
orange tints in addition.
Scented Geraniums.
Every garden should contain some
scented plants; in fact, some gardens
are now being planted with nothing but
plants with scented leaves or flowers.
Scented geraniums and lemon verbenas
continue to retain their popularity in
this field. The more robust-growing
scented geraniums are of easy propaga-
tion and make sizable plants more rap-
idly than the ordinary bedding ones.
If you have fewer plants than you think
you can sell, take more cuttings now.
Practically every cutting should root
and all will make nice, bushy plants in
4-ineh pots before the sales of bedding
plants start.
GERANIUMS WILL NOT FLOWER.
I am sending you another diseased
geranium, with the hope that it will
not be frozen in transit. The foliage
of the plant, as you will notice, is puck-
ored. I have about 100 plants in 4-
inch pots. They are thrifty as to growth,
but I have been informed that they
will not bloom. Do you think my in-
formant is correct? Of course, if the
plants cannot bloom I want to throw
them out. Buchner seems to be the only
variety in this diseased condition.
II. M. M.— 111.
The geranium plant came through in
good condition. The leaves were much
jiuekered, as you say. This is really a
disease, but I do not know its name.
It is a fact that plants with such foli-
age, while they will bloom a little, are
quite unsatisfactory, and you would be
well advised in throwing them away.
I would be particular not to propagate
from anv plants thus affected.

GERANIUMS FOR MEMORIAL.
I have one batch of geraniums which
I think liavc grown too high. They
were started in October and now are in
2V2-inch pots and arc about six inches
high. I have nipped the tips and they
show signs of sprouting. Would it be
best to let tliem continue as they are,
or shall I cut them off and reroot them?
The variety is red, like Helen Michell.
^ly other geraniums are in 2y^-u\ch pots
and have about filled the pots with
roots. Shall I shift them to 3-inch pots
now, or wait another month? I want
thoni in 4-in('h pots for Decoration dav.
R. E.— O."
Tou should have allowed the gera-
niums to grow sufficiently large so that
you could secure a cutting from each,
instoa<l of ])in<hing the tops out. It is
not wise to jiot nt the same time as
A Big Design for a Town Marshal's Funeral.
pinching is done, but as your plants are
breaking you should pot them at onco
in 3-inch pots. They can stand in their
pots about six weeks; then move them
into 4-inch pots. Always shift the
plants before the balls become too
matted with roots. C. W.
BLUECOAT'S STAR IN FLOWERS.
The ambitious retailer or designer
who is inclined to favor the ancient saw
that "a man should 'do' a thing in his
brain before lie does it with his hands,"
will find a moment 's food for thought in
the idea depicted in the accompanying
illustration. The design represented
typifies a comparatively new notion in
funeral work, that of searching out
some event or circumstance in the life
of the decedent and embodying it as
tlie dominant feature of the design, by
floral representation.
For instance, at the funeral of a sol-
dier lad who was killed while serving his
country on the Mexican border the jirin-
cipal floral tribute was a replica in flow-
ers of the Ignited States flag; at tlic
grave of a noted violinist there was an
elaborate pedestal of flowers support-
ing a "violin" of flowers. The design
in the illustration was a tribute to the
police chief of Covington, O., who was
killed by a man resisting arrest. The
marshal had served his community for
seventeen years and was unusually well
liked for an officer of the law.
Petersime & Son, of Covington, who
designed this piece for the town's busi-
ness men, employed the marshal's badge
or star as the motif of the decoration.
The arrangement was eleven feet in cir-
cumference. Tlie "star" was made of
white carnations, white roses, Easter
lilies and white sweet peas. The circle
was formed with pink carnations and
roses, rubrum lilies, pink sweet peas and
Easter lilies. Boxwood and plumosus
were used for the green backing.
Of course, there are rewards for those
who now and then rebel against the r cn-
ventional arrangements in funeral de-
signs. A little brains added to the de-
signer's art is bound to please the man
who pays the bills and in most cases
makes possible a substantial charge for
"knowledge of the business."
HARDY FLOWERS FOR DESIGNS.
Kindly advise me what hardy plants
suitable for design work would be prof-
itable to grow. I am often short of
stock in the summer.

ST. VALENTINE'S DAY
">liTT^ifrffirKffrffl?nffirHB^^
A TEADE-MADE FLOWER DAY.
The Work of Four Years.
Four years is a long while to wait
for anything, but in the history of a
trade four years is only a brief time for
the creation, development and firm es-
tablishing of another special flower day.
Those who were in the trade in 1912
will recall that five years ago St. Val-
entine's day was without significance
for florists.
Indeed, the development of St. Valen-
tine's day ig one of the best examples
of what florists can do for themselves,
once they have their attention called to
the opportunity.
How It Started.
Read up on St. Valentine's day and
you will find its origin lost in the mists
of antiquity. Since time immemorial it
has been the day on which brave men
have sent fair ladies fond tokens. But
it was not until 1913 that any attempt
was made to cause the use of fiowers as
valentines. January 30, 1913, The Re-
view published a St. Valentine's Day
Number in which it was conspicuously
stated:
The purpose of this iune it to get 10,000 florists
each to do at least a little something to attract
the attention of the public to the appropriateness
of flowers for use as valentines.
That was the real beginning of St.
Valentine's day from a florists' flower
selling point of view.
That issue of The Review pointed out
an opportunity — and showed how to
take advantage of it. It illustrated the
methods by which the few retailers who
had tried to do something with the day
had made two dollars come in where
only one dollar came in before, and it
showed pictures of the corsage bouquets
and packages that seemed likely to be
the readiest sellers.
Everybody Doing It Now.
Perhaps that 1913 St. Valentine's
Number of The Review fell short of its
purpose to get 10,000 florists to push
flowers for use as valentines, but the
results really were surprising. Liter-
ally thousands took up the work and
the way St. Valentine's day sales
jumped is matter of common knowledge.
After only four years we find every-
body advertising flowers for St. Valen-
tine's day. It has paid splendidly, for
it has been demonstrated that, as The
Review said in its first St. Valentine's
Day Number, "all the public needs is
the suggestion to send flowers."
Although the St. Valentine's day de-
mand for flowers is based on an ancient
custom, it is a special flower day of
the trade's own making; it affords a
splendid illustration of the results that
follow united effort. It has come to
pass because a large number of individ-
uals each has done and is "doing his
bit" for his own individual good and
the sum of the effort makes a push that
makes the flower business boom.
ADS AND WINDOWS.
The Bright Displays.
If any florist neglects to decorate his
window with a special display for St.
Valentine's day he will pass up one of
the best chances of the season, for it
pays, pays directly, pays tangibly and
immediately. Also, it is easy, for hearts
and flowers go together and with the
red heart in the window the message
is easy to get across.
The St. Valentine's window decora-
tion shown on page 25 is to give an
idea capable of many variations. This
was the 1916 window of the Spokane
Florist Co., of Spokane, Wash., and it
paid handsomely for the not great spe-
cial effort and the small extra expense
involved. The suggestion, "Let your
valentine be flowers," should not be
omitted.
Newspaper Ads.
At Washington, D. C, and in many
other cities, it has proved splendidly
effective for the florists to get together
on a large newspaper advertisement
such as the one reproduced on page 27.
This is shown, not as an example of
good copy, for it might be improved,
but as an illustration of a method whicli
has brought splendid results at small
cost to the individual. It is worth do-
ing in any town where there are three
or more florists willing to work together
for the general good of the business.
Of individual advertising there is no
end — on the whole it is the best means
of increasing the sales of flowers. In
any town where the florists use news-
paper space to an extent that will make
an impression on the public the flower
business is sure to be in a healthy con-
dition. Intelligently used, individual
advertising is the greatest power thus
far discovered for the improvement of
business. But usually the cost of the
individual St. Valentine's day adver-
tisement is much greater than would
be the individual subscription to a co-
operative flower advertisement. In the
original the Fleischman advertisement
reproduced on page 28 was over four-
teen inches long and three columns
wide; it measured 600 agate lines in
a paper that charges 30 cents to 40
cents per line. It probably cost the
florist $200 and an equal space will cost
more this year, for advertising rates,
like everything else, have gone up in
the newspapers that were not charging

too much under before-the-war condi-
tions.
Another Way.
The Chicago Florists' Club has de-
veloped another cooperative plan this
season, involving the use of red hoart-
shaped stickers which are being sold to
a large number of florists at about cost
by a committee of the club. The idea
is to use them on parcels, on letters,
bills and everything else that goes out
the few days before St. Valentine 's day.
It is a plan that lets every florist partic-
ipate in the good work, as 100 stickers
can be had for 75 cents.

PERENNIALS FROM SEED.
Next spring I intend to sow a quan-
tity of perennial seeds, and would like
some advice from you. How many
plants can be grown by one man with
hired help at the transplanting time?
Can I sow enough perennial seeds to
produce 600,000 plants and sell them
the next spring through advertisements
in The Eeview? Can one reasonably
expect to sell that many? Can the seed
be sown out in the field and later trans-
planted and mulched for winter? Of
course no plants could be sold during
the frozen up time, when other nurseries
sell.
Would it be better to give the plants
pot culture? I am afraid that if I
grow them in pots and winter them in
frames I could not have many, as I
have a frame only ninety feet long. If
I could give the plants field culture,
It would be a large contract to raise,
transplant and disi)ose of as many as
600,000 hardy plants in a season. If
you included pansies, double daisies and
forget-me-nots, it would be more nearly
possible. These three popular spring
and summer-blooming plants would all
winter outdoors with you, provided you
have a gentle slope on your land, which
would ensure good drainage and re-
move any possibility of water standing
about the plants. These plants should
be sown from July 20 to August 5, and
they could be started advantageously
in your coldframe where necessary
water and shade could bo afforded to
start them.
One man undoubtedly could handle a
large number of plants, but I doubt if
he could care for 600,000 properly. The
Review sells many millions of plants
annually, and if any paper could sell
your plants The Review certainly could.
Plants in pots have some advantages.
It requires a lot of labor to do the need-
ful potting, and watering is no incon-
siderable factor, but it is possible to
dispose of this stock long after the
sales season for field-grown plants has
ended. The paper pots offered by several
concerns have many advantages over
the earthenware ones. If you never
have grown any of this class of plants
before, I would counsel you not to
plunge too heavily the first season.
Grow moderate quantities. Find out
what people really will buj', then go
ahead on a larger scale the following
season.
While all the plants you name can
be sown outdoors, I would prefer to
start them in a coldframe, where they
could get bettor attention. If you only
had a greenhouse it would pay to start
a number of seeds now. Failing this,
I would sow the majority in June. The
following come up quickly and are easy
of culture: Dianthus, digitalis, gail-
iardias, gypsophilas, hollyhocks, hibis-
cus, campanulas, especially C. Medium;
lupines, centaureas, geums, clirysantho-
mums, especially the Shasta daisy sec-
tion; alyssums, delphiniums, sweet Wil-
liams, which are a form of dianthus;
poppies and pyrethrums. These follow-
ing varieties come a little more slowly:
Tritomas, stokesias, aquilegias, physos-
tegias and platycodons. None of these,
however, are difficult subjects to start.
Care has to be taken to select suitable
weather for transplanting, and there

are some years when but few suitable
days occur for this work.
If you can secure barnyard manure,
it is far superior as fertilizer for your
plants. Broadcast this at the rate of
eight to ten cords per acre. If you
can use even a smaller amount of barn-
yard manure, and supplement it with
fertilizer, it will answer well. I would
suggest applying 600 pounds of finely
ground bone per acre. This would give
both nitrogen and phosphoric acid. As
high-grade forms of potash are at pres-
ent quite expensive, I would use 1,000
pounds of unleached wood ashes to help
out on that end. It would take a large
and special article to cover your ques-
tions fullv. C. W.

Cyclamens.
If you sowed seeds of cyclamens last
August, as advised, your plants should
now be growing well in flats and prob-
ably a good many of them have at-
tained sufficient size to be moved into
3-inch pots. Use a light soil, consisting
of equal parts of flaky leaf-mold and
loam, with some sand added. After
potting, place them in a temperature of
55 degrees at night on a bench well up
to the liglit. Encourage later ])lants to
grow by frequently stirring the surface
soil in the flats. Old plants which were
late for Christmas can, if necessary, be
held in a cold house for Easter. A tem-
]ierature of 40 degrees at night will suf-
fice for these. Cyclamens are popular
plants, however, and there is a fairly
steady call for them all through the
winter.
Genistas.
About February 1 is a good time to
house genista plants wanted in bloom
at Easter. It is well to bring in a few
of the plants from time to time. They
are good sellers either at the green-
house or store and are more quickly
grown into salable plants than ericas,
camellias, acacias and other hard-

wooded plants. It must be confessed
that genistas as house plants can scarce-
ly be called a success. If allowed to
become dry at the root or even if most
carefully tended, they only stand a
few days in the average steam-heated
house. Still, a genista plant will cost
no more than a dozen roses of good qual-
ity and more frequently than not a sin-
gle day will end the roses' usefulness.
Asters.
Last summer asters proved a sad
failure over a large part of the country,
owing to the excessive rainfalls in the
early summer, and as a result prices
ruled much higher than usual in the
various flower markets. During the
last year or two growers have in a num-
ber of cases devoted houses to their
culture and last season asters paid
much better than chrysanthemums.
When grown under glass, the plants are
immune from the ailments affecting out-
door stock and the flowers, of course,
are not battered by rain storms. 4s a
consequence indoor flowers bring a
higher price than outdoor ones. For
anyone who will have a vacant house
just after Easter, aster growing can be
safely recommended. Sow the seed
now; transplant' the seedlings into flats
and from these plant thejn out in the
benches. A soil such as you would use
for chrysanthemums will suit them.
Sow an early variety; Queen of the
Market is the best. White is the best
selling color; next, pink and lavender.
There is a small sale for other colors.
If you plant an early variety your house
will be cleared in time to sow a crop
of sweet peas or to plant violets, snap-
dragons or even carnations.
Fuchsias.
If you have a few old fuchsia plants
which have been carried over winter in
a semi-dormant state, place such stock
in a warm liouse, spray freely and they
will soon give quantities of nice, succu-
lent cuttings, which will root readily in
a cutting bench. Pot into 2i^-inch pots
and later into 4-inch pots. One pinch-
ing will be all tliey will need. Fuchsias
lied out and do remarkably well in par-
tial shade and are quite satisfactory fpr
piazza work. Such varieties as Trail-
ing Queen make wonderful basket
jilants, flowering practically the whole
su minor. Fuchsias should- not be grown
ill a higher temperature than 50 degrees
at night. Plants kejit over until a sec-
coiid year and grown either as pyramids
or stiiiidards make splendid stock for
decorative jturposos, but are all too sel-
dom seen.
Stevias.
The flowering season for stevias will
soon be over and these notes will serve
as a reminder not to throw away all
your stock ]ilaiits. Keep a sufficient
number for cuttings. Head these back
and as soon as a nice lot of shoots have
appeared place them in the propagat-
ing bench. Later the tops can be taken
from these cuttings and the old plants
(-an be thrown away. Probably more
dwarf than tall stevias arc grown. On
the whole, I jirefer the tall variety,
wliich has longer and better branched
stems.
Spiraeas for Easter.
The white spira\as, or astilbes, force
into flower more quickly than the pink
ones. The old .Taponica comes in ear-
lier than all others, but is not now

grown to tlic same extent as formerly,
such varieties as Gladstone and astil-
boides having displaced it. All these
varieties should be started at once in
a temperature of 60 degrees. They will
need a good heat and an abundant water
supply. Queen Alexandra and Peach
Blossom are fine peach-pink sorts, which
should also be started at once. They
sell better than the wliite varieties, but
do not force so rapidly or so well. For
that reason many prefer to hold thorn

QUITCH GRASS IN LAWN.
Enclosed you will find a piece of root
of a weed that is covering the law?i in
my charge. What is the best way to
get rid of this? The lawn is newly
made and evidently the man wlio did
the grading did not pick nut any of this
grass. I would like to know 'if tlierc
is any way of getting rid of it without
plowing the lawn, as there is about ten
acres of it. A. D. L. — :Mass.
This pestilent grass weed is botanic-
ally known as Agropyron repens and
cominrmly known as witch grass, quack
grass, quitch grass, quick grass or
twitch grass. If your lawn is full of
it you cannot possibly clean it out with-
out idowing and giving the weed thor-
ough cultivation through the summer,
raking off and Inirning all roots brought
to the surface. You should be able to
get rid of the grass by August, which is
the best month in the year to seed down
lawns in your state. This grass can
also be subdued in great measure by
growing a heavy smother crop on the
land, such as fodder corn, oats, rye,
millet or cowpeas, but persistent culti-
vation for a season after plowing would
be your best remedy.
Some farmers consider this a valuable
grass for hay. It will certainly thrive
where most other grasses fail. It has
some value for reenforcing banks that
wash badlv, but a lawn is no place for
it. " C. W.
PROPAGATION OF ECHEVERIAS.
I would like your advice as to the
treatment, culture and propagation of
echeverias. Are they considered profit-
able bedding plants?
M. E. H.— Tenn.
Lift the echeveria plants from the
garden before it becomes too cold and
(lamp in the fall. Pack the plants in
boxes of sand, in which they winter
best. Echeverias are best if propa-
gated soon after the old stock is housed,
from October 15 to -January 1. Twist
off the leaves carefully, so as to bring
a dormant eye with 'each. The leaf
without an rye will root, but will never
]n-oduce a plant. It requires about a
month to root the leaves in a warm cut-
ting bench. While in the sand give the
plantings little water, or they will damp.
Transjdant the leaves into flats as soon
as they are rooted. Water the plants
sparingly while they are in the flats.
Plants of sufficient si7;e to bed out in
May can bo had if propagation is done
before January 1. There is a fair profit
in growing echeverias, but I should say
less than in the case of many other bed-
ding plants. C. W.
LONGIFLORUM BULBS DISEASED.
W^e are sending you two lily bulbs
which, as you will notice, are rotten
on the bottom. This rot destroys the
roots, and we would like to know the
cause of it. We have other lilies of
the same variety in the same house,
obtained from a different seedsman,
whicli are not affected. The plants have
not liad too much water. We have had
to throw out about two-thirds of this
batch. L. A. E. & S.— O.
The most probable cause of the trou-
ble is the digging of the bulbs in an im-
mature condition. Or perhaps these
bulbs were frozen in transit, which
would seriously hurt them. Whenever
bulbs throw up feeble growths svith
curling foliage, you can make up your
mind at once that they are of no value
whatever. C. W.

BULB GROWING IN HOLLAND.
[This is the second Installment of a paper
read at a recent meeting of the Cleveland Flo-
rists' Club, in Cleveland, O., by John Van Leeu-
wen, of Sassenheim, Holland. In describing tlie
methods of bulb culture used in Holland, Mr.
Van Leeuwen confined his remarlcs to three
groups of plants, hyacinths, tulips and narcissi.
The first section of liis paper had reference to
hyacinths and was publlslied in The Review of
January 25. The present section treats of tr-
lips. The remainder of the paper, with narcissi
as the subject, will appear in a later issue of
The Review.]
The different species of tulips are
found wild along the northern shores of
the Mediterranean, in Armenia, the
Levant, the Caucasus district, Persia,
and sporadically across north and cen-
tral Asia as far as Japan.
The old Due van Thol varieties are
derived from Tulipa suaveolens, a na-
tive of the Caspian region, while, the
other kinds are mostly seedlings of
Tulipa Gesneriana, which was intro-
duced from the Levant in 1577 and two
years later was brought from Constan-
tinople to Augsburg by Conrad Gesner.
The name "tulip" was probably tak-
en from the Turkish word "tulbend,"
a turban, with reference to the shape
of the flower.
An Ancient Craze for Tulips.
It was not long before tulips became
exceedingly popular — so much so that
in the early part of the seventeenth cen-
tury a regular craze broke out in Hol-
land. In Haarlem one can still find a
stone on which is inscribed simply the
date, 1637. This stone was kept as a
remembrance of the famous tulip trade
of the year 1637, "when, one fool
hatched from another, the people were
rich without substance and wise with-
out knowledge."
Wild tales are abundant about what
was paid for one tulip. For a single
bulb twelve acres of land in the
Schermer polder were offered. One va-
riety. Semper Augustus, must have been
the rarest and most costly of all, as the
fabulous price of $5,500 is said to have
been once paid for it, and soon after-
ward three of these bulbs were again
sold for $12,000.
The price of land and the rent of
fields in which to grow the bulbs be-
came extremely high. One gentleman
was offered $20,000 a year for his field
for seven years and in addition a share
of the profits.
Speculation and Extravagance.
The rage developed to such a stage
that nearly every inn and tavern
around Haarlem was turned into a bulb
exchange, where bulbs were bought and
sold long before they were taken from
the ground. In each of these places a
bookkeeper was employed, who kept a
record of every transaction and of the
profits made, which in most cases
seemed extraordinarily high.
Many men, unused to such wealth, be-
came exceedingly extravagant, spending
money lavishly and beyond their in-
comes, buying carriages and horses and
living at such a rate as only possessors
of untold wealth could afford.
What many a wise man had foreseen,
at last happened. Everyone having be-
come a bulb grower, so many tulips
were crowded into the market that
prices suddenly dropped. A great many
buyers refused to take the bulbs at the
price agreed upon, and a good many
disputes and quarrels .arose. Finally
the States General of Holland issued a
decree that, beginning April 27, 1636,

tulip sellers had the right to force buy-
ers to accept the bulbs at the prices
agreed upon. The decree stopped the
speculation to such an extent that a
Semper Augustus, for instance, for
which previously several thousand dol-
lars had been paid, now brought only
$20. Many people were ruined.
Modem Tulip Fields.
Even though the craze ruined num-
bers of people, many kept on growing
them, and today one can see miles and
miles of tulips in bloom when traveling
through our district in April and May.
Tulips do not absolutely require the
same soil which we use for hyacinths.
We grow tulips in clay and even in peat
soil. It must be said, though, that tu-
lips grown in sand will produce the
best results in general.
When grown in sand the tulips are
planted in the same place from which
the hyacinths were taken earlier in the
season. The ground is manured with
about two bushels of cow manure to
the square rod. Of course a good deal
of the manure which was used for the
hyacinths is still in the soil. The bulbs-
are planted in the same way as the hya-
cinths. The beds are covered with a
light layer of new, long reeds. This i»
not done to protect them from frost, as
tulips do not suffer from frost, but to
shield them from the winds in the
spring.
Harvesting and Marketing.
When the bulbs are ripe they are dug
and taken to the bulb houses, where
they are spread out thinly on the
shelves. They get plenty of air, so as
to dry them quickly, while care is taken
that the sun does not shine on them,
because then the skin bursts. Tulips
propagate themselves, and the old
mother bulb splits into two to five
smaller bulbs, leaving only a lot of old,
dry skin.
■ As soon as the bulbs are dry we hire
a lot of women and girls to clean them.
When this is done the bulbs are run
through a sorting machine, which sorts
them in about ten different sizes. The
selling size is then put on a table and
picked over by hand. The bulbs are,
after that, counted into bags of 250 and
500, according to the variety. The
bags are put on shelves and left there
until we pack them in cases to be
shipped abroad.
Present Popularity of Tulips.
There is no disease in tulips, and of
all the bulbs we grow they are probably
the easiest of culture. They are much
more popular than hyacinths, probably
on account of the fact that they have
such a long blooming season and can
therefore be put to so many more uses.
Among the great acquisitions are the
Darwins, of which no one knows the
origin, and lately the breeders have
come to the front again. They are
nothing new. They are the unbroken
forms of the old florists' tulip, and the
old Dutch gardeners discarded them be-
cause a tulip had no value for them
unless the flower was either striped or
feathered. Here and there in old, for-
gotten corners, breeders are found and
greedily taken up by the present grow-
ers. They are truly magnificent flowers.

The stems are tall and strong, while the
flowers reach immense sizes and are of
lasting quality. Their coloring is odd,
ranging between maroon, purple and
terra cotta.
CALI.A BLOOMS TURN BROWN,
Please tell me what causes calla blooms
to turn brown at the edges before they
are fully open. H. H. — Colo.
A heavy dose of liquid manure as the
flowers start to. expand, given during
dark weather which is followed by a
clear, sunny day, often causes the flow-
ers to turn brown at the edges. You can-
not use any safer food for callas than
fine ground bone. Give the plants a top-
dressing of bone once in ten days. It is
really surprising to note how greedily
the roots devour this food. C. W.
ASPARAGUS GROWN TOO COLD.
I have seven solid beds of Asparagus
plumosus plants, which are growing un-
satisfactorily. Last September I loos-
ened the soil thoroughly and gave the
beds a good top-dressing of cow manure.
Subsequently I gave a light dressing of
lime, thinking that the soil was old
and perhaps sour, but this also failed
to help the plants. I run the beds
neither too dry nor too wet and main-
tain a temperature of 50 to 65 degrees.
Should I give the plants more water?
Is there a special food for asparagus?
Should I change the top soil? Some
plants in new beds behave similarly.
J. G. K.— Ind.
So far as I can judge from this re-
port, it seems most likely that the as-
paragus is being grown too cold. This
crop is seldom satisfactory when grown
in a temperature lower than 60 degrees
at night, and better results are secured
by holding the night temperature at 65
degrees and by giving the plants an
abundance of water both overhead and
at the root.
When using a dressing of lime on the
soil, it is better to apply it sometime
previous to mulching, and to wash the
lime in with a good watering before
putting on the manure, for lime on the
manure is likely to liberate some of the
ammonia and thus reduce the fertilizer
value. W. H. T,
ASTERS GOOD BUT SLOW.
I have a bed of sweet peas that seem
to be affected with root-rot. Would it
be all right to plant the bed to asters?
If so, what varieties shall I use and
when shall I put them in? Would the
late-branching kind be the best? It is
a good, solid bed and the soil is rich.
B. B. C— Kan.
Asters should do well and should make
a good paying crop. Sow seeds now
of Queen of the Market, also called
Queen of the Earlies. Sow the seeds
in flats, later transplant into other flats
and plant out from these. The late-
branching asters would not pay you so
well as Queen of the Market. You
might also try a batch of Comet. White
and pink are the best colors.
If your peas are badly diseased and
musf be thrown out at once, there neces-
sarily must be a long season when your
house will net you nothing. You could
sow ten weeks' stocks now and have a
Memorial day crop; or there is candy-
tuft. You could procure plants of dou-

would also net good profits at tliat time.
It is not a good policy to put all the
eggs in one basket, so why not sow
part of the house with asters and the
remainder with some other flower crop
that would yield you an earlier return?
Why not grow a crop of radishes where
the asters are to go? They would be
out of the way before your asters were
ready and would net you a nice sum.

TILE BENCHES.
As we are contemplating a change
from wood benches to tile, we would
like to know what you think of tile bot-
toms. Are tile benches satisfactory for
growing roses and carnations?
W. E. W.
those of wood. A bench much in favor
is one with wooden legs, with heavy
pecky cypress stringers running length-
wise. On these stringers is placed the
tile, which reaches halfway across the
bench. The edgeboard is then set on
top of the tile and held fast by either
wood or metal strips attached to the
legs. A good method is to run a narrow
strip of tar paper on top of the stringers,
the paper being just wide enough to
shed water from the wood. This will
lengthen the life of the stringers mate-
rially. You can buy tile slabs, which
are the same as a regular conduit tile
but grooved in such a way as to enable
one to split them. This makes a slab
with heavy ribs on one side, which act
as a reenforcement. They are made in
any size to suit. A. F. J. B.
Tile benches are suitable for growing
any crop that will grow on wooden
benches;^ in fact, many growers are
putting in tile bottoms in preference to

ANNUAL MEETING AT NASHVILLE.
Officers Elected.
The following officers were elected by
the Tennessee State Florists' Society
at its annual meeting at Nashville
January 30:
President — W. Cleveland Johnson,
Memphis.
Vice-president — Leo Geny, Nashville.
Secretary-treasurer — ^Prof . G. M, Bent-
ley, reelected.
Business Meeting.
The attendance was the largest in
the liistory of the association; there
were florists present from the farthest
parts of the state, as well as from
a number of other states. The attend-
ance at the morning business meeting
was over sixty, with a larger number
at the afternoon and evening programs.
Exhibits were staged in the loggia of
the hotel and the display was by far
the best ever made at a meeting of the
association. As nothing was shown for
competition, there were no judges' re-
ports.
The forenoon was taken up by an
unusually interesting business meeting,
the county vice-presidents' reports
showing that a great deal of progress
was made in the state last year, both
in new building and in putting the
business end of tlie trade on a higher
plane.
The membership of the society is now
about seventy-five and there is a de-
termined effort being made to bring it
up to 150 by another year. To make
this possible, a committee was ap-
pointed to confer with the authorities
in order to affiliate the society with the
extension work being conducted by the
state through the State University.
The secretary of the State Fair Asso-
ciation placed $50 at the disposal of the
society to be offered in premiums at
the fair this fall.
David Schein gave a paper on adver-
tising for florists. It precipitated a
lively discussion of the propriety of ad-
vertising special sales, etc. It was the
consensus that it is not generally best
to advertise cut flowers at cut rates, but
that special plant sales may be ad-
visable.
Exhibits.
C. L. Baum, of Knoxville, made an
interesting display of gladiolus bulbs,
all grown on his place. He is growing
several acres of these bulbs and is in-
creasing. He also showed some mag-
nificent orchids and good vases of
^Matchless, Beacon, Enchantress, En-
chantress Supremo, Mrs. C. E. Akehurst,
Dr. Sam, Mrs. Ward and Alice carna-
tions.
Kcur & Sons, of Ilillogom, Holland,
had a representative at the show with
an exhibit of pictures of bulbs growing
in Holland.
Chas. Tritchler, of Nashville, showed
a good collection of ferns, two of which
appeared good subjects for table use
and a decided departure from the con-
ventional table fern. They were
Smithii and Minisai, both dwarf ferns
of the ostrich plume type.
The Grasselli Chemical Co. made a dis-
play of its fungicides and insecticides.
Mclntyre Bros, showed large vases of
Gorgeous and Mrs. Ward carnations, a
fine display of cyclamens and the best
vase of Eussell roses we have ever seen.
Geny Bros, showed the only azaleas
that were staged; also primulas, hya-
cinths and roses.
The Joy Floral Co. showed Enchant-
ress, Delhi and Belle Washburn carna-
tions. Delhi seems to many to be the
best red carnation ever grown in this
city. Of the Joy cyclamens the best
carried sixty-three blooms. Baby prim-
roses also were good.
J. W. Crouch, of Knoxville, staged a
number of vases of peas, the most at-
tractive being Mrs. Skach, Orange
Orchid, Eose Queen and Christmas Pink
Orchid.
There was a good trade exhibit of
Nico-Fume and kindred products of the
Kentucky Tobacco Product Co.
Haury & Sons exhibited made up
boxes and cyclamens.
Robert Shoch, of the M. Rice Co.,
Philadelphia, showed a line of baskets
and other florists' accessories, St. Valen-
tine's day, St. Patrick's day and Easter
novelties.
G..J. Tielman, of Johnson City, Tenn.,
showed a vase of his seedling carnation,
No. 4.
Cohen & Hiller, New York, had a dis-
play of ribbons, etc.
Schloss Bros., New York, had an ex-
hibit of ribbons and chiffon.

WHITMANI FERNS ON BENCHES.
Please tell me the best way to grow
Whitmani ferns on benches through the
summer. Is it best to buy 2-inch plants
and bench them through the summer?
What kind of soil is best for them?
C. H.— Ore.
Nephrolepis Whitmani may be grown
in a bench containing about four inches
of ordinary potting soil, to which may
be added enough sand or leaf-mold to
make the compost more open, if the soil
is heavy. Strong 2-inch pot plants will
l)e satisfactory for this purpose if
planted in May. Give plenty of ventila-
tion during the summer, but do not water
too heavily before the plants are estab-
lished, or the soil may become sour. Use
a thin shading on the glass, during the
hot weather, but remove it by the mid-
dle of September.
Some growers prefer to keep these
ferns in pots throughout the season,
claiming that shorter and more compact
plants may thus be grown, but when
grown in this manner they require re-
potting twice, while the bench-grown
plants need potting onlv at the time of
lifting. W. H. T.
RADIANCE AND RED RADIANCE.
I wish to grow two varieties of roses
that will go well with Ophelia. I would
want a good pink and a good red. What
do you think of Radiance and Red
Radiance? Are these varieties easily
subject to mildew or the spot diseases?
What is the proper temperature for
them? E. A. R.— 111.
Both Radiance and Red Radiance
are free growers and good producers,
and whore the stock is grown for local

demand they should be profitable varie-
ties to mate with Ophelia. When grown
for the wholesale market, especially the
Chicago market, they have not proven
profitable, as the demand for the
blooms of these varieties has not been
steady enough to pay the growers to
produce them in quantity. I believe
they sell well in the eastern markets.
Both varieties are practically free
from disease and grow best in a tem-
perature of 60 degrees at night, with
4 to 6 degrees higher on cloudy days
and 10 degrees higher on sunny days.

LANG
SOUTHERN PROGRESS.
The florists' business in all the south
has been making rapid progress of late,
but in no section better progress than
in the southwest. The number of new
people entering the business has been
considerable, but the greater part of
the increased demand has been absorbed,
thus far, by the old, established florists,
who have been adding to and improving
their facilities at a remarkable rate.
Illustrations in this issue show the
downtown store of the Lang Floral &
Nursery Co., of Dallas, Tex., and the
greenhouse establishment on Ross ave-
nue, the two constituting an equipment
modern in every respect.
The first greenhouses are among the
oldest in the south, Otto Lang, the presi-
dent of the company, having been among
the pioneers in his section, but, as the
picture indicates, the office building is
new, as are the greenhouses in its rear,
the latter being of the wide modern
type. The greenhouses and sales office,
originally located in the outskirts of the
city, now are in the thickly built up
"heart" of the city, but the policv
of making it easy for the people of
Dallas to buy flowers long ago called for
opening a downtown store. Recently a
new and better location was secured and
a few weeks before Christmas the pres-
ent establishment was opened, on one of
the best corners in the city. One of the
illustrations shows the front, with its
two modern display windows, while the
other gives an idea of the interior ar-
rangement, the latter photograph having
been made without decoration so as to
better show the fixtures.
KANSAS CITY.
The Market.
Business has been good in all lines.
There are large receipts of cut flowers,
but the demand is ahead of the supply
and all kinds of seasonable stock are
cleared out every evening. The prices
on some stock are a little above normal.
The stiffest market is on Beauties,
which still are on the short side. Some
fine Russells arc seen, but the good ones
are as scarce as Beauties. Roses in
general are short of the usual supplv
and prices are high. The supplv of
carnations is about the same as that
of last week, the blooms not being any
too plentiful. There is a sufficient sup-
ply of lilies for present needs. Sweet
peas are the most plentiful flowers at
i'resent, but the prices of these are high.
The sweet peas this year have better
and longer stems tiian those of the win-
tor crop last year. Bulbous stock of all
kinds IS more plentiful and the quality
IS good. Stevia is rapidly disappearing.
Various Notes.
The Western Association of Nurscry-
'"on hold its twenty-seventh annual
Front of the New Store of the Lang Floral & Nursery Co., Dallas, Tex.
meeting at the Coatcs House in this
city January 24 and 25.
L. C. Fields, of Kansas City, Kan.,
has been in business in that city for
twelve years. He has 4,500 feet of
glass devoted to pot plants. His son,
R. H. Fields, is associated with him.
What with the work in the greenhouse
and the cut flower trade, both are busy.
They have large quantities of funeral
work and their pot plant sales are good,
especially of cyclamens, begonias and
lilies.
Mr. and Mrs. John Stevens were go-
ing home in their automobile on the
evening of January 25 when they met
with an accident. Both were injured,
but not severely. The car was smashed
beyond repair. This somewhat crippled
Mr. Stevens' delivery service, as he
has been delivering orders in his tour-
ing car.
A. Newell had one of the largest
decorations of the season at the Hotel
Muehlbach last week.
C. W. Lemon, who formerly was asso-
ciated with the Olatlie establishment,
and L. F. Clivc, of To])eka, have bought
the St. Mary's greenliouses. These two
men have had a wide experience in
landscape, greenhouse and store work.
R. S. Brown & Son are busilv occu
l)ie(l with their shipping business and
are preparing spring stock. This firm
lias a great many orders already booked
and inquiries are heavy. ]Mr. Bridge-
land says that from the looks of things
it is going to be hard to get enough
stock to meet the demand.
The J. G. Peppard Seed Co. has in-
stalled machinery for mixing lawn grass
seed. This concern reports that busi-
ness has started to open up.
The Harnden Seed Co. states that im-
ported seeds are alarmingly scarce. This
company gays that business is good and
that business this spring will be heavy
on account of the high cost of living,
which makes for more vegetable gar-
dens.
T. Lee Adams says that seeds are
higher in price, but that this does not
seem to affect the sales, as there is too
large a demand. The shipping business
has started and a large number of or-
ders are booked. W. J. B.
Elmira, N. Y. — Another section is to

It is to be devoted exclusively to Mock
and Ophel'a roses.

NEW YOBK.
The Market.
The market continues remarkably
firm, when the dullness in the retail de-
partment of the cut flower business is
considered. Funeral work last week
seems to have been the only foundation
for stability. It therefore is fortunate
that the rose shipments continue light,
for this doubtless has been what has
held the market steady. There was not
H usable rose of the shorter lengths left
January 27. Extra American Beauties
were quoted at 60 cents to 75 cents as
the week closed. Hadley is back to 60
cents for the selects. Ophelia, Sun-
burst and all the twenty other varieties
were held at the same good values as a
week ago. Rose advisers in the whole-
sale ranks say we may expect a break
early in February, when the houses that
have been oflE crop begin to do duty once
more. The quality of most of the roses
arriving is above reproach.
Carnations were firm at the close of
the week. Good flowers of any color
brought $4 per hundred; none sold under
$3 and a few of the specialties sold at
$5 per hundred. Cattleyas and other
orchids continue equal to the demand.
The quality of the cattleyas is greatly
improved. Longiflorums are strong at $10
to $12 per hundred; a few long-stemmed
flowers were held at 15 cents each.
Valley has not changed its quotation for
weeks; "2 to 5 and take your choice."
The demand seems light. Gardenias are
improving in stem and quality; the best
now bring $3 per dozen. There is an
abundance of the low grades, some sell-
ing as low as 50 cents per dozen.
The market is surfeited with short-
stemmed tulips, for which there is little
demand. The rest of the bulbous stock
is selling freely and at excellent prices.
Callas have sold as high as $20 per
hundred. Freesia is especially fine at
present.
Sweet peas are abundant and some of
tlie stock is superb, bringing as high as
$3 per hundred sprays. Yiolets are
plentiful. The street men are again in
evidence on the mild days. Pansies,
daisies, wallflowers, primulas, mignon-
ette and all the rest of the seasonable
flowers, flowering shrubs and blooming
plants, especially azaleas and cyclamens,
are plentiful.

It is rumored that the New York Flo-

day of the flower show. In addition to
a dinner of rare goodness, witB the
happysome accompaniment of dancing,
there will be a mystery. Chairman A.
L. Miller says it's going to be "a big
joy bubble, which will be burst in the
center of the room at exactly 12
o'clock." The committee urges an
early reservation of tables. Tickets,
for lady or gentleman, will be $5 each.
T. B. De Forest is secretary, 30 East
Forty-second street.
Sydney B. Wertheimer, of Wer-
theimer Bros., states that the cry of the
hour from florists is for novelties in
ribbons. Mr. Wertheimer says that,
while the consumption of plain ribbons
is increasing, the constant demand is
for variations of weaves and colorings.
Mr. Wertheimer cites this as an exam-
ple that the florists of the United States
are distinctly wide-awake and that the
dry goods and millinery man no longer
dictates the distinctive styles for florists.
Salesmen in this house are instructed,
whenever a new idea is presented to
them by any of their customers, to im-
mediately transmit it to the house,
where it is worked out by experts in
floral textiles at the Werbro Mills in
Paterson, N. J. That is why most rib-
bons now used by florists have a dis-
tinctly different appearance from those
displayed in the department stores.

THE RAISE IN PRICES

IT IS EASY FOB FLOBISTS.
To Avoid a Loss.
"Although everything used in the
business has advanced in price during
1916 and the cost of running a green-
house this season is at least seventy-
flve per cent, and possibly 100 per cent,
greater than the cost in previous sea-
sons, I have not raised my prices one
penny and hope to get through without
a loss by making such economies as are
possible."
The speaker was a grower whose spe-
cialty is pot plants and whose stock al-
ways has enjoyed an excellent reputa-
tion. He is located in the east. But
from the west, in the same day's mail,
came a letter from a grower whose spe-
cialty is cut flowers, partly retailed in
his own store, but mostly sold at whole-
sale to florists in nearby towns. This
is what he said:
To Make a Profit.
"You may be interested to know
that we have this season advanced our
prices materially and that it apparently
has had no effect on the business ex-
cept to save the loss of profits threat-
ened by the greatly increased cost of
doing business. Of course we did not
advance our prices all at once, but made
small advances steadily; scarcely any
of our customers made any comment
and those who asked usually were sat-
isfied that the small advance then
made was fully justified by condi-
tions."
The fact of the matter is that in-
creases in the prices of commodities
have become so general that they no
longer attract attention. It is taken
for granted that things cost more this
season than they did last season and
the fact that the prices of any given
article are higher than they were before
the war passes without notice.
No Besistance Now.
In the earlier stages of the advance
there was resistance, but the resistance
has been worn down by the fact that
at practically every attempt to pur-
chase the buyer has found that it was
necessary to pay more money than be-
fore. It applies to everything except a
few trade-marked commodities, and on
these original margins of profit were
unusually good.
That the florist who does not attempt
to raise his prices is deliberately sacri-
ficing his profits is shown by the state-
ment of the eastern plantsman as com-
pared with the statement of the western
cut flower grower. If a man growing cut
flowers can raise his prices without en-
countering resistance on the part of his
wholesale and retail customers, surely
the plantsman can make moderate ad-
vances without difficulty.
An Increase Must Be Asked.
As a matter of fact nearly all florists
selling to the public are asking better
prices this season than heretofore. It
is easy to get them; Sll one has to do
is to keep his rates within reason.
Practically the only reason why re-
tail prices in this trade have not been
advanced in any locality is because the
florists there have been afraid to ask an
advance. People cannot be expected to
Fbbeuary 1, 1917.
The Florists' Review
pay more than they are asked; if the
florist still sells carnations for 35 cents
a dozen and never asks any more, the
price of carnations among ^is custoiiifsrs
never will be 50 cents per dozen; but
if he sets up a fair grade of goods ond
asks 50 cents per dozen he will get it
as easily as he formerly^ got 35 cents.
Only in a few cases will an explanation
be demanded. The florist who formerly
got 75 cents per dozen for his carnations
can get $1 as easily under present con-
ditions. A cyclamen plant that sold
for $1 last season will as easily fetch
$1.^5 this season, if the price is asked,
not otherwise.
MADISON AVENUE, NEW YORK.
Business Home of Many Florists.
Madison avenue may fairly claim to
be the retail phenomenal street of the
florists' business of New York. Com-
mencing at Forty-fourth street, we find
the headquarters of Charles Dards, one
of the big business centers of the indus-
try, established some forty years. Mr.
Dards recently returned from a pleasure
trip to Hawaii, California and Japan.
Opposite the Dards store is Bamm's
Flower Shop, one of the latest acquisi-
tions of the street and a "success from
the opening," I understand.
The next store is Ralph Armstrong's,
at the Forty-seventh street corner. It
is a handsome place, with a wealth of
windows. Mr. Armstrong formerly was
with Wadley & Smythe. He has a
branch at Newport during the summer
and it is growing steadily.
Across the way, at Forty-eighth
street, A. T. Bunyard has built up a
remarkable business in the last seven
years. He spent several years with the
Rosery and Siebrecht's before launch-
ing out on the independent sea. Mr.
Bunyard also has a summer branch at
Newport, R. I.
At Forty-ninth street. No. 426, A.
Kottmiller has established a splendid
business. He has a branch in the Van-
derbilt hotel and a growing reputation
for artistic and original decorative ef-
fects. A silver cup in the window speaks
of first honors in this line.
Next on the avenue. No. 503, is J. H.
Small & Sons' "handsomest flower store
in the world." How the S. A. F. vis-
itors will enjoy this store!
At No. 509 is H. H. Burns' neat
headquarters, where this chip of the old
block is "making good." His brother
grows fine Hadleys for the wholesale
market and everybody knows his father.
Joseph Leikens comes next, at Fifty-
fifth street. He also has a branch at
Newport. Joe is the soldier florist and
did his bit in Mexico last year with his
regiment, losing some thirty or forty
pounds while at it, but Joseph is him-
self again.
At the Fifty-sixth street corner is
John W. Hauser 's store, which has been
in the landscape there more than thirty
years.
Two blocks north Myer Gottlieb has
a big store. He owns the entire build-
ing. He spent his earlier years with A.
McConnell, has a branch in the Plaza
and stays in the business for the love
of it.
Close to the corner of Fifty-ninth
street is Warendorff's branch of the
Ansonia, and one of the neatest of War-
endorff's "all-over-town" enterprises.
At No. 692 Madison avenue, near
Sixty-first street, the rejuvenated
Haufft Bros, are to be found. The orig-
inals of fifty years ago have crossed
the great divide; their sons now are liv-
ing in Newark and California. The
younger members of the family are
now in the new store, which is more
roomy and more modern than the old
one.
Christatos & Koster come next, at
No. 717, near Sixty-third street. They
have a good store, a good reputation and
have been established at this location
about a dozen years.
Between Sixty-third and Sixty-fourth
streets a new firm has located, by name
Daniels & Markellos, which makes a
specialty of Japanese everlasting flow-
ers. The members say their Christmas
business was satisfactory.
William Kather, for years one of
Wadley & Smythe 's best decorators, has
a neat store at 754 Madison avenue,
with a palm department on the second
floor. He has been in business over a
year and is well pleased with what he
has accomplished.
Just above him, at No. 810, are Rigo
Bros., who had a long experience with
Joseph Fenrich and other wholesalers.
At No. 922, at the intersection of Sev-
enty-third street, is the new store of
Siebrecht Bros., with William Siebrecht
at the helm. The locality is desirable
and the store roomy and attractive. The
name of Siebrecht has been a household
word — floriculturally — in New York for
nearly half a century. Henry Siebrecht,
Sr., is still as young and active at 69
as ever, and devotes his energies to his
big range and nursery at New Rochelle.
Then, at No. 924, is the store of An-
drew Eckrich, successor to Charles
Grunewald, recently deceased. Mr. Eck-
rich has been in the florists' business
for thirty years, the last twenty years
with Mr. Grunewald, who bequeathed
his business to his employee. Mr. Eck-
rich is still a young man and is well
liked in the trade.
Next comes Henry Hession 's en-
larged, redecorated and handsome store.
There are ample greenhouse attach-
ments and the establishment is one of
the finest in upper New York — and
Madison avenue is only one block dis-
tant, it must be remembered, from Fifth
avenue.
Just above Hession 's, at No. 1000, is
the fine new store of Lena Hart. It is
complete in every requirement and is
considered one of the best locations on
this famous avenue of flower stores.
Then last, but not least, at No. 1064,
the pedestrian is greeted by the smart
store front of Adolph Meyer.
So, between Nos. 340 and 1064, or
between Forty-fourth and Seventy-sixth
streets, on Madison avenue, a distance
of less than two and one-half miles,
there are twenty-one flower stores; and
every one of them is a credit to the New
York retail industry and to the gentle-
men at the head of the enterprises.

STABTINa VALLEY PIPS.
Which valley pips are best for forc-
ing, the German, Danish or Dutchf How
far apart shall I plant them in the
sand? Will three or four inches of
sand in the bench be enough? Is it
best to leave the tip of the bulb a little
above the sand? A. L. — Mo.
The German variety, Berlin, is the
best for forcing. Use six inches of
sand to plant the valley in; four inches
is hardly enough. Set the pips one to
one and one-half inches apart in the
rows and let the rows run three inches
apart. You can give an inch more if
you have ample room. Allow the tips
of the pips to stand above the sand in
all cases. c. W.
OUTDOOR LILY OF THE VALLEY.
Will you please tell me whether val-
ley pips, such as are used in a green-
house, will grow outside to make a per-
manent bed? C. H. K.— Mich.
Valley pips, such as are used for
forcing, will grow outside finely. Be
sure to trench the ground well where
they are to be planted, manuring lib-
erally, as once a bed is planted it will
last for a number of years. If you can
secure pips of Forton's valley, I would
suggest getting it, as it is superior to
all others outdoors. The spikes are
strong and the bells are extra large.

FORCINO THE PIPS.
Kindly give me information on the
forcing of lily of the valley. Please
state the necessary temperature of the
sand and also the temperature of the
house. B. & S.— la.
In the forcing of lily of the valley the
temperature of the house U of small con-
sequence; all that is needed is that there
be means of supplying heat in severe
weather. It is bottom heat that is of
prime importance. The degree will de-
pend largely on the season of the year,
the earliest forced pips requiring 80 de-
grees to 85 degrees, but gradually lessen-
ing toward the natural flowering time, in
April OP May, to 65 to 70 degrees. The

ample to maintain the higher tempera-
ture, boarded up so as to confine the
heat beneath the bench, but with part
of the boards hinged so that some of
the heat can be liberated in the house
upon occasion.
Probably you understand the con-
struction of the bench, with facilities
for keeping the valley in the dark until
it comes time to color it up and harden
it off. F. K.
LOUISVILLE, KY.
The Market.
Although we have had severe weather
during the last few weeks, January has
not by any means been a dull month, as
it usually is. The heavy funeral work
has made business better than it usually
is at this time. Carnations are just be-
ginning to show up on the profit side
of the ledger, having been in extremely
short crop until the last few weeks.
Although the cut at present is extra
heavy with most of the growers, the
demand is far in excess of the supply,
and large quantities of shipped-in flow-
ers are being used, which seems con-
trary to the statement that the carna-
tion is waning in popularity. From re-
ports of several growers, even more
glass will be devoted to carnations next
year.
The demand for spring flowers has
come to life during the last two weeks,
large quantities of. freesias being
snapped up as soon as they are offered.
The same is true of sweet peas. Yar-
rawa, that wonderful Australian va-
riety, has been grown especially well by
some of the growers. Calendulas, an-
tirrhinums, stocks, mignonette and mar-
guerites arrive in moderate quantities.
The roses offered in the stores are,
with few exceptions, from other cen-
ters, chiefly Chicago. Local greenhouses,
having furnished a good crop, are now
at low ebb, and every attention is be-
ing given the plants in order to supply
the ever-increasing demand at Easter.
Various Notes.
At the W. L. Korb greenhouses Mr.
Korb has two carnations of his own
production. These varieties have gained
considerable recognition locally. One is
described by a color expert as a Japa-
nese red. Besides being a novelty in
color, it is of large size and is said to
be a better keeper than any one of the
present varieties. The other origination
is a medium pink. Mr. Korb intends to
disseminate both varieties as soon as
adequate stock is produced, there being
only about 200 plants of each at present.
The Victor Mathis greenhouses are
beginning to lose their barren appear-
ance, which was caused by the heavy
holiday trade. The plants for Valen-
tine's day and Easter now are getting
close attention, to bring them to their
highest development at the right time.
Anders Rasmussen, the New Albany
grower, is making shipments of approxi-
mately 10,000 carnations per week to
the Philadelphia market, besides supply-
ing the needs of the Louisville flower
merchants. His roses at present are off
crop.
Webb Frantz, who has been associated
with the Nanz & Neuner Co. for several
years, has accepted a position with F.
Walker & Co. at the Preston road estab-
lishment. Mr. Frantz, while with the
Nanz & Neuner Co., was manager of
the greenhouses at St. Matthews.
John Doll, who for the last nine years
has been head gardener on Judge
Humphrey's estate at Glenview, Ky.,
now is with F. Walker & Co. This con-
cern can congratulate itself on securing
two men of such proven ability.
An old landmark belonging to H. G.
Walker, president of F. Walker & Co.,
was destroyed by fire last week. Snow
on the nearby buildings prevented the
flames from, spreading to the green-
houses. The family of Kingsley Walker
occupied the old dwelling.
H. E. Humiston, of the Chicago Feed
& Fertilizer Co., was in town recently.
He expressed regret at being able to
visit only a few of the growing estab-
lishments. The weather at the time
was bad, -there being a foot of snow and
the temperature at zero.
Local importers have received hard
knocks this season. Consignments of
Christmas stock have just been received.
Several cases of English hollies, Skim-
mia Japonica and bay trees, which
came a short time ago, were in excel-
lent condition; in fact, it was some of
the best stock ever received from
Europe, but it will be absolutely useless
for the purpose intended. Two cases
of box evergreens for use last fall came
in heated, the entire lot a dead loss.
Several cases of dormant roses were re-
ceived in fairly good shape. Hero is
but another argument in favor of the
made-in-America idea. Bring on those
wonderful productions we see and hear
so much about out at Eureka, Cal.!

DOWN WITH STREET PEDDLEES!
In The Review for January 11 there
appeared an article in which a com-
mission dealer's views of the faker
problem were quoted. Now, I disagree
with the author on several of his opin-
ions. I maintain that the street ped-
dler does more harm than good. The
peddler's stock, being cheap, cannot be
fresh, and will last such a short time
that the buyer is made to consider
flowers a foolish, short-lived luxury.
The same money expended for a few
fresh flowers would have the opposite
result; such sales would tend to make
permanent customers. No matter what
the price, stale flowers universally hurt
the business in two ways: First, the
growers who retail their own stock are
forced to sacrifice it because of the
competition; second, numerous flower
buyers are lost.
A more uniform price on flowers is
advocated; that is, if flowers are high
during the holiday season they should
not sell at one-fourth as much the
following week. When this is the case
the people think they have been held
up. Would it not be a better plan to
have the prices more normal during
the second week and to give fifteen or
sixteen flowers instead of a dozen, thus
making the customers feci that they
are receiving extra good measure? Or,
in another way, why not keep the prices
normal the whole time, and thereby not
lose after the holidays what was made
during the holidays! As for explain-
ing to customers about weather condi-
tions, etc., as suggested in this article,
one has neither the time nor patience
to tell every customer who telephones
or calls. Moreover, few customers
would understand how in one week car-
nation prices can drop from $1.50 to 35
cents, whereas they could understand
the change of prices of strawberries
from March to June — time enough to
grow and ripen a crop.
The average commission dealer does
not give the storemen a chance at the
bargains. He feels that the storemen
are the ones he must make his money
on, and he uses the venders simply to
work off his surpluses. He would rather
sell all the surplus at a big sacrifice
than sell part of the surplus for prac-
tically the same price. The latter way
surely is much fairer to both growers
and storemen. If at any time a sacri-
fice in prices is to be made, the com-
missionman should notify the storemen
— the ones who really keep him in busi-
ness— and not unload the stock on de-
partment stores, 5 and 10-cent stores
and street venders.
Quoting from this article: "Mr. C'om-
missionman receives his flowers in the
morning and holds them all for what he
thinks a fair price, no matter what class
the buyer belongs to. Perhaps he does
not clean up that day and is compelled
to carry some flowers over until the
next day. If so, and the flowers are in
good condition, he tries to get the regu-
lar price, but if they finally have to be
sold at cheap prices to save dumping
them, it at least gives the grower some-
thing. ' ' The flowers usually have been
cut the day before the commission-
man receives them. They, therefore,
are three days old by the time the store-
man can buy and give them away as
advertisements. By that time they
would be too stale for good advertising,
and would lead the recipients to believe
that the advertiser's flowers did not
last long. Because the commissionmen
want to make a few cents more for one
or two growers, many others are harmed
and the business is hurt in general.
Would it not be better for the com-
niissionman to notify the storemen on
the first day the surplus stock is on
hand and give them the benefit of the
oversupply? In this way the business
would still remain in the hands of the
florists, and the local growers as well
as the growers of the shipped-in stock
would have fair play, since cheap sales
hurt both of them.

F. J. Lake.
r. J. Lake, of Wellesley Hills, Mass.,
one of the oldest florists in the vicinity
of Boston, died January 27. He was in
his eighty-fourth year. Mr. Lake was
one of the pioneer stallholders at the old
Park Street flower market. His spe-
cialties were carnations, asparagus and
asters. His son, A. G. Lake, has for
some years been managing the business.
Mr. Lake for a number of years was
one of the board of assessors of Welles-
ley Hills, where he resided for twenty-
. eight years. W. N. C.

Henry Seger, 1517 West One-hundred-

51 years. Mr. Seger came to this coun-
try from Germany seventeen years ago.
Shortly after his arrival he accepted a
position at the South Park conserva-
tory, Chicago. About fifteen years ago
he went into business for himself and
had ever since been engaged in the
retail flower trade. Previous to his
death he had been ailing for many
years. His wife and two sons survive
him.
PROVIDENCE, R. I.
The Market.
Business last week was good, orders
for funerals, weddings and other social
functions being numerous. A scarcity
of flowers has kept prices a trifle above
normal, and with the high price of coal
and the temperatures below the freezing
point most of the time, it is doubtful
if there is a chance for any reduction
at present.
Prices on roses are steep and there is
a decided shortage of good stock. Car-
nations are good but few. The appear-
ance of daffodils and tulips, with in-
creasing quantities of sweet peas, is af-
fording some relief.
Various Notes.
The Butcher greenhouses have made
a specialty of Ophelia roses.
W. P. Carpenter, the Union Station
florist, last week was confined to his
home by a severe cold.
F. Jordan is eliminating flowers from
his greenhouses and will devote the
space to tomatoes.

Marcus Morton Burdick, vice-presi-
dent of the Rhode Island Horticultural
Society, died at his home in this city
last week. He was in his seventy-fourth
year. He previously was president of
the society for two years.
Harry Oakley, formerly in business
as the Empire Floral Co., has taken a
position with William Bowers, on Wash-
ington street.
E. Brooke, of T. J. Johnston & Co.,
reports a good business since the com-
pany removed to the location at 107

James B. Canning, of Smith street, is
back in the harness after a long period
of illness.
Joseph E. Koppelman is cutting good
gardenias from his houses at Riverside.
He is shipping them to Boston and New
York, as the local market has compara-
tively little use for these flowers.

AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY.
The executive committee of the
American Rose Society held a well at-
tended meeting in the Bellevue-Strat-
ford hotel at Philadelphia January 25.
It was decided to make the whole show
resemble a great rose garden; that is,
that the rose garden to be put up by
the American Rose Society should not
only be the central feature of the exhi-
bition, but that the decoration should
harmonize with it and also the other
exhibits insofar as that is possible.
Henry A. Dreer, Inc., courteously al-
tered its rose garden plan, so as to help
to carry out this idea. Walter Vanden
Hengle, of J. J. Habermehl's Sons, has
drawn a plan for the rose garden that
he has colored, showing the details, and
the plan for the hall decoration. This
will probably be passed upon at the
meeting February 1. Secretary Benj. »

A. H. Woeppel, of Corning, N. Y.,
was putting the finishing touches on
some handsome funeral pieces and re-
marked how pleasant the task was when
one had suitable stock for the purpose.
Some choice carnations were noted, es-
pecially the Enchantress family and
White Wonder. Formosa is the favor-
ite lily for Easter. "We had Formosa
lily plants last season that carried four-
teen to fifteen blooms from bulbs 9x11,
and we look for as good returns this
Easter, judging from present appear-
ances," observed Mr. Woeppel. "You,"
added Mr. Woeppel, "will be sorry to
know that my brother, Jerome, who
has been my assistant since we began
business, has been obliged to give up
owing to an incurable disease."
W. A. Wettlin, of Hornell, N. Y., re-
marked that through continuous adver-
tising he has built up a wholesale plant
business that takes more stock than he
can grow. He seriously thinks of build-
ing greenhouses on the farm he pur-
chased two years ago, and mentioned
in passing that the fruit and vegetables
grown on the farm during the last sum-
mer and sold at the store in town paid
the running expenses.
E. V. B. Felthousen, of Schenectady,
one of the largest growers of bedding
plants in the Mohawk valley, says there
will be a scarcity of bedding stock on
account of the lateness and mildness of
the fall season. Heat was withheld
and plants are backward in consequence.
Undoubtedly the grower of this class
of stock will find a ready market for
his plants.
L. J. Rowe, of Titusville, Pa., was
hustling in a shipment of coal and said:
* ' This is a friend in need at this time,
when natural gas is undependable. "
W. M. Deyoe & Co., of Oil City, Pa.,
report excellent business, including much
funeral work. A decoration for a con-
cert, consisting of Golden Spur and
Paper White narcissi, of their own
growing, was most artistic.
C. E. Gunton, of the Red Rock Rosery,
Bradford, Pa., was bothered with an
iftseet that bored into the buds of roses,
especially Beauties, and caused much
damage. He has found a remedy for
the intruder. W. M.

The Review brings results.
In spite of the higher costs of all ma-
terials, it looks as though this will prove
to be a record year for greenhouse build-
ing.
Fulsome praise of certain novelties, in
quarters known not to weigh their words,
is thought to have been a handicap to
their sale fliis season.
Personality still counts for much in
the flower business. It is difficult to de-
velop flower growing or selling on the
impersonal, system plan.
There are many growers of carnations
who think roses have been a more profit-
able crop the last year or two, but after
they have changed they will wish they
hadn't. It is ever thus.
The final premium li.<)t for the St. Louis
spring show, March 15 to 18, has been
issued. Correspondence concerning com-
petitive exhibits should be addressed to
Frank Weber, Nursery, Mo.
The excellent returns to rose growers
this season are being made by a good
average. Top prices have not been high-
er than usual, but the bottom has not
been so low as frequently is the case. A
demand which makes possible clean sales
at moderate prices is the secret of the
season's success.
Within the last few weeks The Review
has received several letters from employees
in greenhouse establishments, the writers
•explaining that it is with regret they are
leaving the trade for more profitable em-
ployment in some other line. It seems
•clear many florists have not felt able to
advance wages as they have been advanced
in most other trades and it affords another
evidence of the necessity of pushing up
;the retail prices of plants and cut flowers.
WILL DISCUSS EXPRESS SERVICE.
The shortcomings of the express serv-
ice at Christmas have stirred up the
whole country, but especially the Phila-
delphians. In The Review for January
25, in the Philadelphia column, there
was a request from members addressed
to W. F. Therkildson, chairman of the
Essay Committee, asking that a leader
be assigned for the discussion of the
matter at the Florists' Club. Here is
Mr. Therkildson 's answer.
Noticing in the Philadelphia Notes the open
letter addressed to W. F. Therkildson, I am
liappy to report tliat I have secured, for March 6,
the very man that the two members and even
more want to hear. In other words, for March 6
1 have secured an official of the Wells Fargo Ex-
press Co., name not yet announced, who will talk
to the Philadelphia Florists' Club. For February
6, Max Schling will talk on "Art and Nature."
It is understood the members are
privileged to heckle the expressman.
WHICH?
One class of people want things cheap.
Another class want things dear. A third
class want things good. Which class
do you cater to ?
Persons who want things cheap con-
sider price first, last and all the time.
It is what they pay, not what they get,
that is kept in mind. Consequently they
usually get less value for their money
than anyone else. Those who want
things dear also consider price first,
but they pay enough so the seller usu-
ally can afford to give the best. But
neither class of customers is permanent;
the "cheap" buyers flock to the new
place that offers low grade goods a little
cheaper, while the "dear" purchasers
stampede to the latest place that finds
fashion's fleeting favor.
The florist who builds a permanent
l^atronage is the one who sees to it that
everything he sells is good — not flashy;
just plain good. He can not compete in
price with the fellow whose only idea
is to undersell, but he will have no
trouble in getting prices that will sat-
isfy both buyer and seller; he will

MONEY IN FLORISTS' POCKETS.
Everybody is familiar with the old
quotation about the man who made two
blades of grass grow where only one
blade grew before, and it may not be
wholly new to apply it to the purposes
of a trade paper, but the fact is St.
Valentine's day affords an especially
fine illustration of how The Review has
put thousands upon thousands of dollars
into the pockets of the trade.
Not that The Review ever has caused
money to rain on florists like manna
from heaven — that was a miracle, and
the days of miracles are over — but that
the paper can and has, repeatedly,
shown to enterprising florists opportu-
nities and methods whereby the trade
may increase its sales and its profits.
The beauty of it is The Review's
suggestions work out in practice — they
have the punch — they get there.
To cite a conspicuous example that
all will remember, there's Mothers' day.
The Review did not originate Mothers'
day, but scarcely any florists had heard
of it before The Review, recognizing
an opportunity for the trade as a whole
to add many thousands of dollars to the
annual sales, made Mothers' day the
feature of one of its issues. Every flo-
rist knows what happened: That year
hundreds of florists pushed Mothers'
day, and The Review reported how they
did it, and how the public responded.
The next year thousands helped, and
now everybody pushes Mothers' day.
The result is another special flower day
has been developed — one that puts, in
the aggregate, an immense sum of ex-
tra money into circulation in the trade.
It might have come to pass, in time,
without The Review to point out the
opportunity and the methods of devel-
oping it — but take the case of St. Val-
entine's day:
St. Valentine's day has been known
to us all since childhood. But what
did it amount to for florists until The
Review published a special number to
tell the trade about the neglected op-
portunity? Then it was said:
The purpose of this issue is to get 10,000 florists
each to do at least a little something to attract
the attention of the public to the appropriateness
of flowers for use as valentines.
If 10,000 florists did not push flowers
for that St. Valentine's day, in 1913,
at least they are doing so now — and
making money by it.
WHAT THE S. A. F. IS DOING.
In a circular by Secretary Young,
sent to the newly appointed state vice-
presidents of the S. A. F., there are
these paragraphs:
The society has much work mapped out for
the near future, including an effort to induce a
greater use of flowers on Ihe part of the public.
It has been painfully evident within the last
two years that the consumption of flowers is
woefully short of the production, entailing a
vast loss to growers. A campaign of publicity
such as the society has in contemplation will
entail prodigious expense and can only be en-
tered upon when those whom it will most interest
will give the small support asked of them — a
membership in the society.
State legislation in regard to the operation
of greenhouse heating plants is another impor-
tant problem now receiving the attention of our
organization, one in which individual action is
without avail. The growers in every state are
threatened with legislation to compel them to
yield to unjust measures to force them to em-
ploy licensed engineers to run their beating
plants, and these to work in eight-hour shifts.
Just stop to think what this would cost florists!
(:!ould an individual florist do anything to stop it,
or change it to meet conditions?
A bureau of credits and collections, to
be operated under the auspices of the
society, also is planned. A committee
headed by C. E. Critchell, of Cincinnati,
has the matter under consideration.
CHICACK).
The Market.
The main feature which characterized
the wholesale cut flower market last
week was a supply insufficient to meet
the brisk demand which came in during
the entire week. The market generally
was better than the preceding week and
good prices, the best average, in fact,
since Christmas, prevailed. Although
business may be said to have been good
during the entire week, there was actu-
ally no more stock sold than has been
the case right along, but the fact that -
the better demand enabled wholesalers >
to clean out well from day to day at '
good prices, gave an improved tone to ^
the market. A general advance in |
prices on all stock is being made and i
the lower figures on inferior grades are
being clipped off. j
American Beauties are still extremely \
scarce and are obtaining premium \
prices. Other varieties of roses are in \
fair supply, but are clearing readily at l

good prices. Carnations are in sufficient
supply, but are selling well at an ad-
vanced figure.
Valley is easier than it has been for
some time, due to the increased supply
of freesia which is arriving. The lat-
ter item is of excellent quality and is
selling readily, good quantities being
use<t for corsage work. The supply of
Easter lilies is large enough to meet
the demand and stock is selling at
slightly advanced prices. Orchids are
in good demand and are clearing well.
The supply of violets is larger than it
has been, but the stock is selling well.
Sweet peas also arrive in larger quan-
tity. The quality is excellent and bet-
ter prices are being obtained. Paper
Whites arrive in good supply, the qual-
ity is good and they are moving well.
Small quantities of calendula and mig-
nonette arrive, but they form only an
insignificant item.
Tulips and jonquils are in, large sup-
]dy, but are selling well. The supply
of daisies is a little larger than it has
been. Snapdragons are still slow in ar-
riving and what little stock comes in
is readily disposed of.
The New Amling Store.
The E. C. Amling Co., previously lo-
cated in the Le Moyne building, com-
pleted removal to its new home across
the Street, at 169 to 3 75 North Wabash
avenue, in time to write two sales tick-
ets there January 27. The store since
then has been inspected by practically
every florist who comes to the market
and the opinion is unanimous that the
move is the best ever made by the .Am-
ling Co. The room is 60x125, located on
an alley dignified by the name of Bur-
ton place, so that there is an excellent
rear entrance adjacent to safe parking
space for automobiles. In addition to
the street floor, the lease includes the
basement and there is a gallery cover-
ing the rear half of the main floor.
Back of the store proper is a large cold
room, excellent for many kinds of flow-
ers the greater part of the year. In
addition to the old, mechanically re-
frigerated iceboxes, built for the Le
Moyne block store, a new box has been
built. A novelty is that two boxes are
on the north side of the room and two

on the south side, so that it really makes
a double store. In addition to its large
size the store has the great advantage
of excellent and well diffused light.
With room to grow, and a ten years'
lease, the company expects to add mate-
rially to its business without departing
from its policy of confining its opera-
tions to cut flowers and grefens.
The Amling Co. has leased a portion
of the basement of the building to a
new wholesale cut flower house, which
will be opened about February 10 by
Joseph E. Wiltgen, Evanston, and Mich-
ael F. Freres. The new firm will go
under the name of Wiltgen & Freres.
Joseph Ziska & Sons are moving into
the second floor of the building and

Various Notes.
It is sai(l the recent decision of the
Ignited States Supreme court, affirming
the judgment of the Illinois Supreme
court in favor of Poehlmann Bros. Co.,
which some years ago filed a petition
with the Illinois Warehouse Commission
attacking a rate of 40 cents on coal and
manure from Galewood to Morton
Grove, will mean not only a lower rate,
but eventually a reimbursement to that
company of over $35,000.
Charles A. Meinersmann, with an of-
fice in the Steger building, bought out
a retail shop at 4807 North Kedzie ave-
nue, about six months ago and now an-
nounces that he has purchased what
was formerly the Lister Floral Shop, at
1008 Belmont avenue. The two stores
are known as the Albany Florists. Mr.
Meinersmann takes an active part in
the work and is acquainted with the
retail flower business, although his busi-
ness is landscaping. N. J. Bins is man-
ager of the Belmont avenue store.
A. Henderson thinks he sees a change
in the trade tendencies, in that a large
number of buyers have ceased to look
for the cheapest source of supply and
are earnestly in quest of one that can
be depended on for first-class stock,
well packed, even if the prices aro a
little higher. Mr. Henderson believes
the trade is beginning to appreciate that
"the best is the cheapest in the long
run."
A little later than usual, Alois Frcy,
at Crown Point, has begun cutting and
shipping his annual crop of Rainbow
freesias. He has 60,000 bulbs to flower,
not to mention the seedlings under
trial.
In an interesting article in the auto-
mobile number of the Tribune, Peter
Reinberg, writing as chairman of the
board of county commissioners instead-
of as a florist, sent in a word of good
cheer to those who use the highwavs,
describing the road-building plans 'of
the county for 1917.
Most successful business men have
an avocation as well as a vocation. C. A.
Samuelson's is apple orcharding in
Idaho. He knows the subject in all its
phases and talks most interestingly on
it. The varieties he grows are Stav-
man's Winesap, Jonathan and Rome

Although there were no azaleas for

Peter Pearson is convinced that the
prices of Holland bulbs cannot stay on
the present level of asking prices for
1917 crops. He says that, to begin with,
where a grower forces the bulbs for the
wholesale market, the price obtained
for the cut flowers does not permit the
payment of the advances attempted this
season by the Holland travelers. He
says that he is told by a number of
growers that they will not place any
orders this season, dropping the forcing
of bulbs next fall unless it proves possi-
ble to purchase bulbs in the fall at
something like normal prices. Mr.
Pearson thinks the general adoption of
such a policy will result in a fall in the
market.

WHITE WORMS IN SOIL.
There are small white worms in the
soil around my plants. The worms are
about a quarter of an inch long, have
legs like wireworms and two small
horns, or feelers, on the head. I noticed
them last spring when I dug the beds
to plant chrysanthemums. When I took
the old mum plants out this fall I no-
ticed that the roots had been eaten. I
planted daisies and sweet peas in these
beds and I am having the same trouble
with them. The sweet peas are about
one and one-half inches above the
ground, with roots about the sp.me.
These little w-orms eat the main root

PHILADELPHIA.
The Market.
The cut flower market is active, with
the supply still short of the demand.
Roses, carnations, sweet peas, daffodils,
lilies and all other varieties of flowers
sell well at excellent prices. Violets
may be considered an exception to the
rule, for violets are not much used just
now. Poor flowers find a market at a
little below list prices, with buyers who
can use whatever they can find, pro-
vided the price suits. This explains the
really excellent prices, quality consid-
ered, that are realized on ordinary
stock. Take sweet peas, for example.
Far and away the larger portion of
peas are of the Spencer type, the so-
called orchid peas. The light pinks lire,
generally speaking, most popular; then
come the bright pinks, then the whites.
The cerise blooms are not so much in
favor; there are few lavenders, so they
do not count. Last of all come the old
early-flowering, or grandiflora, type of
peas. Hardly anyone really wants
these now. They take them when the
price suits. Of course, there are ex-
ceptions. A few grandiflora peas are so
well grown that they will sell even
against the Spencers, but these are few.
Daffodils are becoming more plenti-
ful and the price is easier. Tulips have
been strengthened by the arrival of
Couronne d'Or, probably the greatest
early double tulip. Valley is getting
on a better footing, the buyers seeming
to realize that it may be bad business
to boycott a friend. White and colored
lilacs are fine. Orchids are a little more
plentiful; that is, cattleyas. They are
mostly Trianffi, with a few Schroederai.
Gardenias are all right in the upper

grades, but there are too many poor
ones to make the general average, in
price, good.
Beauties are confined mostly to the
specials; they are still obtainable in
quantity by those who can afford them.
There are a few fine Eussell and Hadley
roses. Outside of these, most of the
roses are in the short and medium
grades. Some extremely fine snapdrag-
ons are offered; choice lavender and
yellow blooms bring good prices. Freo.sia
is good.
The shipping demand is the life of
the market.
While carnations have not been given
their proper place in this report, they
continue the mainstay of the market.
The crop is almost as heavy as that of
a week ago. It meets with a strong sup-
port, which is made stronger by those
who are not able to have their rose

^- William Craythorn has a range of
well built greenhouses devoted to a few
staple crops. Just now his Purity
freesias are in full bloom. For years
he has grown his own bulbs, dried oflE
and thoroughly ripened and replanted
again year after year. The little bulb-

,, to the pot. They stood over two feet
^ in height, each stem bearing a cluster
■• of large flowers of waxy whiteness. The

^•i Perfection and White Enchantress are
#the whites. The second will be dis-

I A Curious Case.
There is considerable interest shown
famong our florists over a law suit pend-
ing in this city. It appears that a cus-
\n^^^ purchased a cyclamen from
*9??®' f- P<":yzee8, for which he paid
reft \^^ Christmas. He claims that
ithe salesman assured him that the plant
would live a year. He asserts that in
two days it wilted and, on being trans-
ferred to a larger pot, died.
The customer took the plant back to
Mr. Poryzees and asked for a refund of
his money, on the ground that the plant
had not lived as promised. Mr. Pory-
zees said that, while he had no book
record of this cash sale, he did not
question the customer's word. He
thought there had been negligence on
the customer's part and offered him a
credit of $2.75. This the customer de-
clined, claiming his money; hence a suit.
The Shop Window.
The window described this week is
open to the criticism of emptiness; yet
if you could have seen it, it would not
have appeared empty. Bather let me say
it seemed like an elegant drawing room
in which richness and effect were studied
rather than display. There was no mass-
ing, no crowding. The show window of
J. J. Habermehl's Sons, in the Bellevue-
Stratford hotel, is of great size. Ex-
perts will tell you that the glare from
the Manufacturers' Club opposite spoils
its appearance in certain lights. That
may be true, but it is a trifling disadvan-
tage and one that is often absent. On
this occasion there was no glare. It
was dark and dismal outside. The win-
dow looked warm and inviting. The
floor and sides were covered with a
loosely laid carpet of pale green, which
appeared more like a scarf of some soft
texture. It harmonized wonderfully
with the Cibotium Schiedei in the back-
ground at one side. In front of the
fern was a vase or wall pocket that
seemed overflowing with spring flow-
ers. The flowers looked like the daffo-
dils sometimes described as butter and
eggs. The opposite side of the window
was filled by one of the Boston sisters,
while the center was occupied by a low
arrangement of scarlet and white
blooms, rising from a mirror pool in a
way that challenges description. Be-
hind the window, in the store beyond,
an artist was arranging a bunch of flow-
ers formed of calla lilies at the top
and Kose Canadian Queen below, in a
way that made it appear just as though
the rosebud was showing out of the
cornucopias of the callas.
The Valentine Kids.
It is encouraging to know that there
is just as much, nay a little more, op-
portunity for inventive ingenuity to-
day as during any time in the history
of floral arrangement. A simple little
novelty consisting of a droll-looking
youthful figure, with an indescribable
humorous look, and with a heart in one
hand attached to a small flower vase.
The figure is neatly dressed in warm
garments suitable for the season. The
vase is attached firmly in an inconspicu-
ous place. There are a dozen styles.
The whole is serviceable, neat and most
appealing.
Sydney H. Bayersdorfer tells me that
these Valentine kids are having an ex-
traordinary run of popularity. While
his modesty forbade the admission that
he knew in whose brain the kids had
originated, it was gathered that the hit
the kids were making for his house

The Market.
There was a great scarcity of all
kinds of stock during the last wetk,
and especially high prices prevailed on
roses. Everything was bought at sight.
No orders for roses were filled com-
pletely. The lowest price on roses was
$8, with the possible exception of a
few culls at $6, and from that they
went up to $20 per hundred. The stand-
ard prices seem to have been $12 and
$15 per hundred. The greatest scarcity
was in the red roses. Next in line of
scarcity came the white roses, which
were in heavy demand.
Carnations are the scarcest of all
flowers. The price remains standard at
$6 per hundred, but in all probability
the situation will be less acute shortly
and the price will recede. There are
plenty of narcissi to be had and the re-
tailers have had to resort to these for
funeral pieces. It is the cheapest flower
to be had for filling in, being obtainable
at $3 per hundred. There have been
fine Golden Spur daffodils, bringing as
high as $6 per hundred.
Good cattleyas were offered at $7.50
and $9 per dozen, but there were few
takers. There are plenty of cypripe-
diums to be had and they hang fire at
$1.50 per dozen. Gardenias are good
and sell better than formerly, at $3 per
dozen.
Sweet peas sell at sight, the ordi-
nary varieties at $1 and $1.50 per hun-
dred and the Spencers at $2 and $2.50.

all of the growers are out of these flow-

Various Notes.
At the national rose festival of the
American Eose Society, to be held at
Philadelphia in March, over $6,000 in
prizes are oflfered, and several of the
growers around Washington have ex-
pressed their intention of competing.
William F. Gude, of the Gude Bros. Co.,
is a member of the committee on com-
mercial exhibits.
S. F. Fletcher, of Zanesville, O., was
among the visitors at the local stores
during the last week.
The local florists are beginning to re-
ceive tax bills covering the rental of
sidewalk vaults.
The regular meeting of the Florists'
Club of Washington, D. C, will be held
February 6. As this is the first regu-
lar meeting before the annual election
of oflScers, nominations will be in order.
President Jenkins urges that all mem-
bers attend. C. L. L.
ROCHESTER, N. Y.
The Market.
Business fluctuated somewhat during
the week, but it was brisk and lively
at the week end. Graduations hiive
commenced and many orders are re-
ceived for these functions, as well as
for weddings, dances, etc.
Every grower and storekeeper is hav-
ing his troubles just now. The dull
weather is holding back the flowers con-
siderably, and it is diflScult to procure
what is wanted in quantity. Every-
thing in cut flowers is arriving in
smaller consignments, and in many
cases the blooms are not fully developed.
Prices are considerably higher on some
items, while others retain their previ-
ous figures. The supply of roses in the
shorter grades is far from sufficient.
Some extra fine Hoosier Beauty, Milady,
Shawyer, Ward and Maryland roses are

QUALITY is the big word in
the SCHULTZ organization.
SCHULTZ creations are widely
imitated and sold by other
manufacturers, but SCHULTZ
QUALITY is rarely equaled
and never surpassed.
SCHULTZ QUALITY iswell known
throughout the florists' trade, and
can be compared with no other. The
question of price is never considered
where QUALITY is demanded.

quickly disposed of. The carnation sup-
ply is limited, with much inferior stock,
but any grade of carnations brings good
prices. Orchids are good and sell well.
Valley is irregular in quality and high
in price. Easter lilies arrive in larger
shipments and help to meet the large
funeral demands. Callas are not plenti-
ful.
Good freesias sell fast. Violets are
improving in size and fragrance, but
the demand does not seem so large as
usual. Extra fine and long-stemmed
sweet peas sell easily. Paper Whites,
yellow narcissi and jonquils are more
plentiful and move at sight. Lilacs are
seen in small quantities. Romans and
bachelor's buttons are easily disposed
of. The supply of blooming plants is
large, with the assortment good. The
receipts of greens are large enough to
supply present demands.
Various Notes.
Edward Brockman is doing a good
business. His Enchantress Supreme car-
nations are in good form, with long
stems and large blooms. He has a large
quantity of White Wonder. One green-
house is devoted entirely to geraniums
and by spring he hopes to have about
40,000 plants. He has rented a nearby
farm and expects to plant it to asters
next season.
George Kerridge is receiving many
calls for shrubs and plants, of which
he has a large selection.
r. H. Moore, of the Sefton Mfg. Co.,
Chicago, called on the trade this week.
We are glad to hear that Mr. Moore is
to become a resident of Rochester. The
trade will give him a good welcome.

The postage alone
(If 2-cent stamps were used)
Would Cost $250.00
If you attempted to send to every reader of The Review even a simple
circular advertising your business.
The circular itself, the paper (it has increased 125 to 150% in price
since the war), printing, envelopes, addressing, etc., would more than
double the cost. And even at that, you would be forcing your propo-
sition upon the attention of the people to whom you sent it.
On the Other Hand
No one who buys The Review is forced to do so. He reads it from
choice.
Your business announcements stated in The Review come to the
attention of the buyers you seek in a manner and at a time that is
psychologically correct.
You can print in The Review a half page, each issue, for a whole
year, for what one circular would cost if you attempted to reach the
entire circulation of The Review just once.
The Comparison is Startling
CAcn^^^^ ^"^ distribution of 12,500 circulars would cost approximately
$650.00-one ''flash in the pan," then silence.
A half page in The Review would cost only $702.00 for a whole year-
it would be seen, read and remembered, if not this week then next
week for 52 issues-650,000 copies. '
Every modern business man knows the cumulative value of continuous effort.

in the exhibits of Geneva Experimental

keen and resulted as follows: President,

HIGH JINKS AT MORRISTOWN.
Tuesday, January 23, the Morris
County Florists ' and Gardeners ' Society
became of age, and it celebrated the
twenty-first birthday of its organiza-
tion in a manner appropriate for such
an auspicious occasion. More than 350
persons participated in the anniversary
banquet, which was held at Morris-
town, N. J. The menu for the evening,
despite the fact that rarebit prices are
after the aviation altitude record, was
a lengthy test for even the most blase
banqueteer, the feasters being required
to stow away everything from ancho-
vies on toast down through filet of sole
with Tartar sauce and Camembert
cheese to a glorious finish of creme de
menthe and demi-tasse. The dinner
committeemen surely outdid themselves,
and it is hoped that everybody weath-
ered the aftermath with nothing more
than a well earned ache.
The decorations in the banquet hall
resembled a flower show more than em-
bellishments for an anniversary feast.
The speakers' table was decorated with
some of the varieties of roses that have
made Charles H. Totty famous. At this
table, over which R. G. Hollaman, the
toastmaster, presided, sat Frank Breare,
president of the society; Edward Rea-

Gloekler Refrigerators
npHE essential feature
of a refrigerator for
cut flowers is a cold, dry
circulation of air. That
is the fundamental prin-
ciple of Gloekler Flower
Refrigerators. The stock
keeps to its full limit,
and at the same time re-
sults in a saving of ice.
It requires perfect insula-
tion to produce this con-
dition, and the Gloekler
method of reinforced cork
insulation has been
proven by test the only
practical way of produc-
ing such a result.

The selling power of
the refrigerator— that is
a big point. These refrig-

attractively that the flow-

selves. They present an
insistent appeal to the
customer to buy, but in an
unobjectionable way.

of the eight men who attended the or-
ganization meeting of the society twen-
ty-one years ago, four were present —
Messrs. Eeagan, Totty, Herrington and
Duckham.
Arthur Herrington, who had the
honor of being the society's first head,
was the next speaker. He said he had
long anticipated the twenty-first anni-
versary, for on that night his infant,
the society, became of age. He then
related some reminiscences of the so-
ciety in its infancy and spoke of the
advancement of horticulture in New
Jersey. Mayor Otto Ross, who was next
called upon, admitted that he was a
gardener as well as a mayor. Dr. B. D.
Evans then paid a great tribute to the
florists and said that, while not a florist,
he is supposed to place flowers in the

The Florists' Review
FSBBCABX 1. 1917.
FOR YOUR PROTECTION, MR. FLORIST,
ACCEPT "SUPERIORA" MAGNOLIA LEAVES ONLY
For they are endorsed by the leading wholesale trade. REFUSE IMITATIONS
EXTRACTS FROM OUR ENDORSEMENTS
C. E. Critchell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, writes: "My customers Insist
on having the 'Superlora' brand of Magnolias, as they claim these
are the best, and that they do not dry out or become moldy, and that
every leaf can be used, and when this Is taken into consideration,
they are also the cheapest, besides being the best."
The McCalliun Co., of llttsburgh. Pa., says: "Other Magnolia
preparers have tried to Induce us to stock up their goods 'just as
good as Dux's' at a cheaper price, but we have In each Instance told
them frankly that It was a case of quality with us, and that we did
not think their leaf would give the satisfaction yours did. We con-
sider our Magnolia trade one of the best assets of our business and
will not take a chance of losing It; In fact, our traveling men are
often greeted as 'Magnolia Kings.' "
rittsburgh Cut Flower Co., of Pittsburgh, Pa., writes: "Your
'Superlora' Magnolia Leaves are the best leaves that we have ever
handled, and we have had no complaint from any of our customers
who bought these leaves from us. We have stored these leaves un-
der all conditions and found that they will not mould; It is a very
satisfactory leaf indeed."
Job. G. Meldlnger Co., of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "We have
tried all the Magnolia Leaves that are offered, but find your leaves
to be far superior to all others, etc., etc."
The Montreal Floral Exchange, Montreal, Canada, writes: "Our
business has increased with you this year over double of what we
purchased last season, which Is a good recommendation In itself that
the trade In Canada appreciates the durability and keeping qualities
of your leaf. We appreciate the Integrity, promptness and good
business methods that, have characterized all your dealings with us."
Michigan Cut Flower Exchange. Detroit, Mich., says: "We have
been handling your 'Superlora' Magnolia Leaves for the past six
years and find in all this time that we have had no complaints but
many compliments on these goods., etc., etc."
Jog. E. Koppelman, of Providence, R. I., writes: "We feel that
we can sell your leaves to people who have used them once without
any trouble. They rather pay the difference than to buy other
leaves elsewhere, etc., etc."
New England llorlst Supply Co., of Boston. Mass., writes: "Have
found 'Superlora' Magnolias the best leaves on the market. The
sales on this leaf have been growing with the same rapidity as our
business."
Wm. F. Hasting Co., of Buffalo, N. Y.. writes: "Have always
found that the 'Superlora' brand gives our customers entire satisfac-
tion; in fact, they are the best leaves we have been able to obtain
in the last few years."
B. E. and J. T. Cokely, of Scranton, Penn,, write: "We have
always considered your Magnolia Leaves to be a standard for quality.
etc"
The Baltimore Wholesale Florist and Supply Co., of Baltimore.
Md., writes: "We are confldent that any other manufactured Mag-
nolia Leaves could not compete with yours, as other brands have
been offered us, which, after we tried them, we refused to carry
In stock."
N. F. McCa:rthy and Co., of Boston, Mass., write: ". . . It
is the opinion of McCarthy and Co. that your good firm prepares the
best leaf that has yet been offered In the United States. It Is well
worth the difference between the prices offered by Inferior manu-
facturers and your agents."
Henry M. Robinson and Co., of Boston, Mass., write: "We are
pleased to state that the quality of your leaves is certainly the best
ever manufactured In this country, and It Is a pleasure to offer such
8t.OClC f OI* 8&l6 etc "
Reed and' Keller, of New York City, say: ". . . and we beg
leave to acknowledge receipt of your last shipment of Magnolias,
and we are Indeed pleased to say that they are superior In every
way. We further state that our experience In leaves from other
dealers has been very unsatisfactory; colors vary and leaves mould
quickly, etc."
The Cleveland Florists' Exchange, Cleveland, O., says: ". . .
never as yet have we had a complaint on the 'Superlora' brand of
Magnolia Leaves, nor a carton returned."
Smith and Young, of Indianapolis, Ind., write: "We will con-
tinue to use 'Superlora* exclusively as we consider it superior to any
other leaf In the market. Since we handle 'Superlora' we have not
had one single complaint, etc., etc."
The Cleveland Cut Flower Co., of Cleveland, Ohio, writes:
". . . that we have been sending you orders for 'Superlora' brand
Magnolia Leaves for several years should prove that we like your
goods . . ."
Geo. H. Angermueller, of St. Irouis, Mo., says: "It pleases me
to say that I have worked up a splendid business on your 'Superlora'
Magnolia I^eaves, and I credit my success to the fact that the quality
of your leaves has always been entirely satisfactory to my customers,
etc."
Oscar Leistner, of Chicago, 111., writes: ". . . As you know,
before you gave us the sole agency for the Western country, we were
handling a different leaf, but these leaves gave us no end of trouble
and our customers were very much disappointed with the quality.
Since we have been handling your leaves we find that the complaints
from our customers have entirely disappeared, and the trade seems
anxious to buy your leaves exclusively. Only today one of our cus-
tomers told up that he had bought 100 cartons of Magnolias from
one of your competitors, but that he has been compelled to return
them as his customers absolutely refused to accept them, duia to the
fact that the leaves are 'off-color' as well as mouldy, etc'

human pathway. The medico was sbc-

Duckham was greatly surprised and
feelingly thanked the members.
BRAMPTON, ONT.
The Market.
The weather continued cold and clear
throughout January and the stock avail-
able was not equal to the demand. Busi-
ness has been good and shows every
indication of keeping ahead of that of
last year. Collections leave no room
for complaint. Conditions generally
are hopeful, except that the increased
cost of everything reduces the ])Ossi-
bility of profits almost to a negligible
factor for most of the growers in the
Dominion.
Daffodils and tulips are eagerly
sought, the former easily bringing $4
per hundred while other blooms are so
scarce. Orchids are not so plentiful
this week and the best Cattleya Triana;
blooms easily make 30 cents. Easter
lilies are being forced in larger quanti-
ties than usual and are much in request
the year around. The shortage of

DOG GRASS IN LAWNS.
Will you please let me know what
is the best way to get rid of dog grass
m a newly made lawn? The lawn is
completely covered with it. There are
ten acres of lawn. J. J. N.— Mass.
This grass, also called crab grass and
wire grass, comes in late summer, not
only in new but also in old lawns. The
plant IS an annual and the first frost
kills it. In small lawns it can be pulled
or dug out. On larger areas every efifort
should be made to prevent it from seed-
ing. Mow the lawn closely, then rake
over the grass. This will pull up a lot
of the dog grass, which is prostrate in
its habit, llun the lawn mowers over
again and, to still farther reduce it, give
another raking in the opposite direction
and mow once more. Keep this up for
a week or two and you will get rid of
most of this noxious weed, which asserts
itself most when the weather is hot and
dry and when regular lawn grasses are
more or less parched. C. W.
IIerrington on the Mum, sent by The
Review for 50 cents.

The Market.
The business done last week was most
satisfactory to the wholesalers. Al-
though there was considerable stock
coming in daily, it was not enough for
the volume of business, and prices .is a
result advanced. The most noticeable
shortage was in roses, and the few
coming in demanded an increase in
prices. Ophelia and Russell were in
great demand. The best Beauties
brought $6 per dozen. The Killarneys
and Sunburst cleaned up daily. Eed
roses are far short of the demand. Car-
nations are bringing $4 per hundred for
first quality stock. Clean-ups in these
were reported daily, Enchantress being
the leader in demand. Good red and
rose-pink carnations also had a big call.
The fine weather should bring out a big
crop for this week's trade.
Sweet peas last week cleaned up well.
Extra fancy blooms of the butterfly
type bring $1.50 per hundred, and the
demand far exceeds the supply. Violets
are selling well at 50 cents. Choice
stock brings $4 in thousand lots. The
Kirkwood growers report a big crop of
violets for St. Valentine's day. There
was a fine supply of orchids all the week,
the many social events creating a large
demand for these. Easter lilies and
callas are scarce, also valley. Paper
Whites, Romans, jonquils and other
bulbous stock, usually plentiful at this
time, were scarce last week. Smilax,
asparagus and fine adiantum had a good
call throughout the week.
Various Notes.
The St. Louis Florists' Club will hold
its monthly meeting February 8, when
a carnation exhibition will be staged.
The place of meeting has not yet been
made known. Growers of new varieties
of carnations will find it to their ad-
vantage to send a few blooms for ex-
hibition. The flowers may be sent in
care of any of the wholesalers, who will
stage them.
George Walters, the wire worker, re-
ports a busy season since the new year
began. E. Rogers is again with Mr.
Walters, who has worked up a good
shipping trade.
Do not forget the meeting of the St.

Louis County Growers' Association to
be held February 7 at the Eleven Mile
House. The feature of this meeting
will be reports of the Carnation Society
convention by members who attended
the meeting this week.
Ernest Lapp has bought the retail in-
terests of the J. F. Ammann Co., of
Edwardsville, 111. He has opened a
store in the city, known as the Palace of
Sweets and Flowers. Mr. Lapp spent
a day in the wholesale district last week
buying supplies.
The midwinter school graduations
January 26 caused a big demand for
flowers.
The St. Louis party to attend the
American Carnation Society's meeting
at Indianapolis left January 31. The
following made the trip: Jules Bourdet,
August Hummert, H. G. Berning, David
S. Geddia, W. J. Pilcher, J. J. Windier,
C. A. Kuehn, S. E. Cerny, Charles
Meyer, F. C. Weber, Sr., Vincent Gorly,
Otto G. Koenig and Fred H. Meinhardt.
The ladies in the party were Mrs. H. G.
Berning, Mrs. F. C. Weber, Sr., Mrs. J.
J. Windier, Mrs. V. Gorly and Mrs. W.
A. Rowe. The party made the trip in a
special car over the Pennsylvania rail-
road and arrived in Indianapolis at
3 p. m. the same day.
Paul Hranicka, who has charge of the
John Milliken greenhouse range at
Crescent, Mo., is having wonderful suc-
cess with Ophelia, Eussell and Beauties;
also, one of the finest crops of the Kil-
larneys.
August Hartman is cutting a splendid
crop of Spencer sweet peas from one of
his houses at Kirkwood. His carnation
crop also is of fine quality.
Samuel Roth, formerly with Grimm &
Gorly and more recently of the A. L.
Young Co., now is manager for the
Diemer Floral Co., on South Broadway.
Mr. Roth reports a busy week in social
and funeral work.
James Bishoflf has been added to the
sales department of the St. Louis Whole-
sale Cut Flower Co. His brother, Stan-
ley, has taken his old position as chauf-
feur.

ment on McPherson avenue is one of
the attractive spots in the west end.
Business has been rushing.
William Bouche and L. P. Jensen,
vi^ho will have charge of the decorating
corps for the spring flower show to be
held at the Armory hall next month, are
hard at work making plans for the big
job. Two better men for this work
would be hard to find.
E. A. McPheron, of the Cottage
Greenhouses, Litchfield, 111., was a vis-
itor last week.
The meeting of the executive com-
mittee and the various chairmen of the
spring flower show committees was held
at the oflSces of the St. Louis Seed Co.
Reports were heard from all the chair-
men. The reports of August Hummert,
of the guarantee fund; J. J. Windier, of
the program; W. J. Pilcher, for the
trades' displays; Frank Windier, for
publicity, and W. A. Rowe, for finance,
were most gratifying. A meeting of
these men will be held every Tuesday
afternoon at the same place from now
until the time of the show. J. F. Am-
mann, president of the American Carna-
tion Society, was present and urged all
to try to attend the meeting at Indian-
apolis. J. J. B.
BOSTON.
The Market.
Prices continue to hold up in fiist-
class shape and no immediate break
seems probable. Flowers open slowly,
owing to the continuation of wintry
weather and many sunless days. Eoses
still clean up well. There is a slight
weakening in prices of short-stemmed
stock, but on other lines there is prac-
tically no change. American Beauties
remain unchanged and sell out easily.
Better grades of Hadley, Russell, Ward
and Ophelia are soon bought up. White
Killarney is the only rose which drags
somewhat. Carnations hold their own.

All now are of top-notch quality. The
loaders are Pink Delight, Alice, Match-
less, Ward, Benora, White Wonder and
Kosette. The best violets have made
$1, with poorer grades as low as 50 to
GO cents per hundred.
Bulbous flowers sell well. Daffodils
are unchanged; tulips, also, move in
good shape. Narcissus ornatus, Coni-
jiernelle and Silver Spur are now noted.
Freesia is dragging more than it did.
Lilies are abundant; so are callas; but
there is no great surplus of either. Yel-
low marguerites are in good demand and
good flowers realize as much as carna-
tions. Sweet peas are in good supply,
with the Spencers selling best. Snap-
dragons arc not at all plentiful, but of
mignonette there is an oversupply.
There still is a good supply of stevia,
with smaller lots of calendulas, wall-
flowers, primroses and other miscella-
neous flowers. Cattleyas are more abun-
dant and cheaper. There also are
cypripediums, dendrobiums, phala?nopsis,
vandas and laclias available. Valley
sells somewhat slowly, but asparagus
moves a little better.

Various Notes.
TluTc is no neater, more up-to-date
and more interesting carnation establish-
ment in the vicinity of Boston than t'lat
of John Barr, at South Natick. Mr.
Bail-, while superintendent on the B. P.
Cheney estate, was one of the largest
and most successful exhibitors of pot
jilants at the Boston shows. lie has
now dropped the culture of even his old-
time favorites, cyclamens, and sticks to
carnations. His houses are on an ideal
site, with plenty of splendid land ad-
joining. Water is inexpensively pumped
from the nearby Charles river. A lierd
of cattle keeps some of Mr. Barr's
Avealthy neighbors supplied with milk
and cream and gives him the necessary
manure for his houses. Krocschell Eros.
Co. heaters are used and give complete
satisfaction. The carnations most ex-
tensively grown are Pink Delight and
^latcliless, whicli do wonderfully well
liere. Eenora is liked as a variegated
variety and Beacon as a scarlet. The
old Fenn still does remarkably well and
will be jdanted at least one more year.
Alice is grown largely, Imt the plants
were chopped back for cuttings, which
were in heavy demand. Xancy here is
inferior to Pink Delight. Mr. Barr says
it comes too single. Good Cheer is
grown as a rose-pink, but Albert Roper
will take its place next year. Alice
Coombs also does well here. It sells
splendidly and is a good keeper. The
propagating house was a treat; every-
thing is so clean and thrifty.
Paine Bros., of Randolph, are cutting
fine lots of Flamingo, White Hawk, La
Reine and Couronne d 'Or tulips and
Golden Spur narcissi. Their Hupp motor

Edward Winkler, of Wakefield, well
known as the raiser of that popular car-
nation, Morning Glow, failed to attend
the recent field day of the club at Fruin-
ingham. He had a good reason to be
absent, however — the arrival of a bounc-
ing boy. I am glad to report mother
and son as doing well.
Peter Hylen, of Eandolph, is a s-iic-
(ossful bulb specialist and is at present
cutting an excellent lot of Fred Mocre,
La Heine and White Hawk tulips i nd
Golden Spur narcissi. Mr. Hylen mow
feels the need of an auto truck, but is
as yet undecided as to which make to
purchase.
Tickets are selling like the proveii>ial

which will be held in Horticultural nail
February 7. The souvenir booklet con-
taining advertisements has made n lie-
cided hit and business concerns are sup-
porting it handsomely. No tickets for
the banquet will be sold after Febrn-
arv 5.
William H. Elliott, of Brighton, left
January 24 for Berkeley, Cal. He will
make many stops and take a number of
side trips, both going and returniiig,
and as he is an interesting conversation-
alist as well as a keen observer, he
should have something interesting to
say on his return, which will not be
until May or early June. Mr. Elliott's
daughter is a professor in a university
at Berkeley.
F. J. Lake, of Wellesley Hills, whose
obituary is given elsewhere in this
week's issue, was one of the oldest of
our local florists and was well known
as a stallholder at the old Park street
flower market.
The Arnold Arboretum, the Mecca for
lovers of hardy trees and shrubs, has
for some time employed a sportsman
two days a week to shoot sparrc.ws,
crows and squirrels in the Arboretum
grounds. The crows and squirrels un-
doubtedly kill many young birds and
destroy their eggs. The sparrows do
no harm so far as I can learn, but, on
the other hand, destroy quantities of
destructive insects and noxious weed
seeds which our native birds leave se-
verely alone.
The Gardeners' and Florists' Club
will hold its annual carnation night
February 20. There will be short talks
by three carnation specialists and a
notable display of flowers. The mem-

Contract prices on all seeds, and espe-
cially on beans and peas, are steadily ad-
vancing.
Charles P. Guelf, of the Jerome B.
Rice Seed Co., is on a trip through the
northeast.
The pioneer seedsman of Bismarck, S.
D., Oscar H. Will, has been seriously ill
at Bismarck hospital, but while still con-
fined to his bed at the hospital, is slowly
recovering.
Paper and printing cost even more in
England than now is the case in the
United States and most British trade
catalogues for 1917 show a sharp re-
trenchment.
Onion sets advanced sharply last week.
The supply is being steadily reduced by
shipment and present indications are that
it will be diflScult to obtain good stock by
the early part of March.
The canners' convention will attract a
considerable number of seedsmen to Cleve-
land February 5 to 9. Conditions in the
canning trade arc nuch tliat the largest
convention on record is expected and
seedsmen 's representatives are looking
forward to an active week's business.
The Holland salesmen came over this
season under instructions to get higher
prices, especially from the small buyers
out in the country, whose orders have been
costing too much. But it isn't proving
as easy as it would have been had there
not been so many cheap offers at the close
of last season.
The Sweet Pea Annual, issued by the
National Sweet Pea Society of England,
makes America a conspicuous feature of
the 1917 issue, just to hand. It contains
full-page portraits of the late W. Atlee
Burpee and of George \V. Kerr, with an
appreciation of the former and an article
by the latter, with nuich other material
of American origin.
The Sioux City Seed & Nursery Co., of
Sioux City,. la., "has been granted a re-
fund by the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion of' $.'563.68, to be paid by tlie Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy Eailroad Co., on ac-
count of an excessive rate charged on
three cars of clover seed from Cowley and
Lovell, Wyo., and Silesia, Mont., to Sioux
City, in December, 1915.
A meeting of the Wholesale Grass Seed
Dealers' Association was held at Chi-
cago January 29, at which the matter of
trade rules and seed legislation were dis-
cussed. About fifteen firms were re]»re-

Never was such an opportunity for seedsmen as to be able to supply beans
this year. The price is high but no seed will cost the grower less. Nothing can be
substituted for beans. A quart of beans will go farther than the same value of
any other seed. We are booking orders for delivery crop of 1917. Write for
prices. Our growing facilities are good. We grow our seed stock on our own
farms. We specialize in Dwarf Garden Beans and feel that we can give seedsmen
the best of service and larger -average deliveries than other growers located far-
ther from the center of growing operations. We are about booked up on Wax
Beans and the finer types of Green Pods, so urge prompt inquiry.

The Florists^ Review
Febuuauv 1, 1917.
Sixty kinds of beans and peas are
grown in China, but few of these find a
place in tlio oxjiort trade.
The stocks of America gladiolus are
believed to lie principally in two hands
this season, and prices (pioted earlier in
the season have been advanced twenty-
five per cent.
Among those who will have booths at
the National Canners' Convention at
Cleveland February 5, is the Leonard Seed
Co., Chicago, whose exhibit will be in
charge of .lohn C. Leonard.
The seed trade's advortisiiig this sea-
Bon will be light, because of the belief
that demand wi.l exceed suitp.y, and
practically confined to class publica-
tions, because of the belief that the use
of general publications does not pay as
well.
DETROIT NEXT JUNE.
The executive committee of the Amer-
ican Seed Trade Association has desig-
nated Detroit as the place for the thir-
ty-fifth annual convention, to be held
next June.
The committee held its annual mid-
winter meeting at New York, January
30. Those present were President Kir-
by B. White, Detroit; Secretary C. E.
Kendel, Cleveland; J. M. Lupton, Mat-
tituck, L. I.; Leonard H. Vaughan, Chi-
cago; Howard M. Earl, Philadelphia;
W. G. Scarlett, Baltimore; J. L. Hunt,
Cambridge, N. Y., which is the full com-
mittee with the exception of the vice-
presidents. By invitation there also
were present W. S. Woodruff, M. H.
Durvoa and Charles D. Boyles.
AUSTRALIAN SEED CROPS.
In Australia seasonal conditions are
the reverse of our own and 1916-1917
seed crops there are approaching the
harvest time. With reference to the
crop prospect, F. H. Brunning, Ltd., by
Leslie H. Brunning, secretary, says
under date of December 19:
"We have had heavy rains during
1916, tlie fall to date being thirty-eight
inches. The average for the last forty
years is twenty-five inches, and last
year's total for the same period was
twentv and one-half inches. As the
bulk of the rain has fallen since Sep-
tember and has been accompanied by
heavy hail from time to time, you will
understand the crops have suffered se-
verely. In the Portarlington district,
what has not been washed out will bear
well, but even so we cannot look for
more than a fifty per cent return. The
carrot and parsnip crops we are afraid
will be almost total failures, owing to
the fact that, on top of the floods, the
Rutherglen fly has made its appearance.
"At time "of writing, it is hard to
give an opinion on the onion crop, but
it seems to us that it will not be a
heavy one.'^^
ACTION FOR SHORT DELIVERY.
The California Lima Bean Growers'
Association is likely to be brought into
court in the near future to ascertain
whether or not it can be compelled to
make good its obligations to deliver fu-
ture goods. S. Pfeifer, a New Orleans
jobber, has sued the organization and
has rather got the start of the bean men
by tying up money due them, now in
the Louisiana jurisdiction. It appears
that Pfeifer got a portion of the beans
for which he contracted and January
20 paid a draft for $4,683.10. Then

Burpee^s Seeds Grow
With the close of 1916 forty years of
Burpee Effort have passed into Seed
History. These were constructive years,
years of careful, intensive, scientific in-
vestigation and experimenting. Starting
in a very modest way, acre after acre,
building after building, have been added until
today we enjoy the distinction of being the
World's Largest Mail Order Seed House.
The House of Burpee
in this forty years has introduced more distinct
new varieties of Vegetable and P'lower Seeds
that are now in general cultivation, than have
any three other American Seed Firms, but never
have we cataloged any one of these varieties
until it has passed all the exacting require-
ments of the Burpee Standard. This Burpee
Standard js maintained by rigid tests at Fordhook Farms, America's largest and most complete Trial
Grounds. These tests are made each year for the purpose of strengthening the bond of confidence
between our customers and ourselves.
With the culmination of these forty years we
enter the- fifth decade of our active business
life, with the firm intention of continuing to
Better Serve.

PHILADELPHIA, PA.
Pfeifer's lawyer went to the Civil Dis-
trict court with a claim for $2,000 po-
tential profit on undelivered beans and
asked the court to seize the $4,68.3.10.
Bailiffs soon had the money tied up.
The idea of paying drafts and then seiz-
ing the money to secure profits lost by
the failure of the bean barons to come
across with beans is a new one.
The New Orleans merchants claim the
crop was not so badly damaged as eon-
tended and that the association and its
commission merchants are selling at the
market price in other cities instead of
deliveiing here at the contract price.
The difference is 2 cents a pound. Prof-
its on a car in ordinary times run from
$150 to $200. The difference between
a car at contract and at market price
today is $S00 to $1,000. The dealers
are much distressed liy the impression
that the growers are pocketing $800 to
$1,000 a ear and delivering excuses in-
stead of beans.

Lien on Crop For Seeds' Price.
The laws of the states in which retail
seedsmen are given liens against crops
for the price of seeds furnished to grow
the crops, have given rise to consider-
able litigation of practical importance
to the trade, coneerning the right to en-
force lions.
The Supreme Court of North Dakota
was called upon to determine whether
a person wlio in good faith furnishes
seed is entitled to a lien for the entire
purchase price, regardless of whether
all of the seeds were actually sown. Tn
deciding the point in favor of the right
to lien, tlie court said:
"We think it clear, under the statute
in question, that a ]ierson who furnishes
seCH^ls to another to be sown upon cer-
tain land is entitled, upon compliance
with the statute, to a lien for the pur-
chase ]>rice of all seeds so furnished
upon the crop grown from such seeds or
any portion of such seeds. In other
words, it is not incumbent upon the
seller of the seeds to see to it at his
peril that all such seeds are actually
sown as agreed."

tire purchase price. The court said that
this was a doubtful question, and re-
fused to pass on it directly, because,
under the peculiar facts of the case be-
fore the court, it was unnecessary to de-
cide the point. It appeared that 200
■ bushels of seed wheat and sixty bushels
of seed flax had been sold to the same
person at different prices per bushel, and
that the seller filed a single lien state-
ment for the whole price, claiming a
lien against both crops, but specifying
the number of bushels of each kind of
seed furnished, and the price per bushel.
On these facts, the court held that the
contract should be regarded as divisible
as to the two kinds of seed, and the lien
construed as separate as to each crop
— one upon the wheat crop for the value
of the seeds furnished for it, and one
on the flax crop for the value of the
seeds furnished for it.
But it is clear that no lien can be
enforced under a seed-grain note, unless
seeds have been actually furnished for
the crop against which the lien is as-
serted. In another interesting case it
appeared that a seed-grain note was
taken for grain furnished for a certain
crop. The note was not paid and the
lien was not enforced, but the seedsman
took a new note in renewal of the old
one, and in the same lien form. Under
these circumstances, the Minnesota Su-
preme court decided that no lien could
be enforced against the new crop, for
which the seedsman furnished no seeds,
as against a third person to whom the
farmer gave a chattel mortgage after
the renewal note was executed. The
court said of the renewal note:

"Though duly filed, it did not entitle
the plaintiff to claim any other than the

raised from seeds furnished by the de-
fendant. But it is admitted that the
note was not given for seeds from which
the grain in controversy was raised, and
that the defendant furnished no seed
grain to the maker of it that year. No
lien was therefore created under the
statute."
On failure of the buyer jof seeds to pay
therefor, the seller, havi^ properly pre-
served his lien, is entitlld to take pos-
session of the crop for the purpose of
foreclosure, or he may enforce the lien
as against the holder of a subordinate
lien who has taken possession. If the
junior lienor disposes of the property,
the seedsman may hold him liable as for
conversion of the crop. (Minnesota Su-
preme court, Nash versus Brewster, 41

make settlement and the seedsman per-
mits him to retain part of the grain
covered by the lien for the purpose of
growing a crop for the succeeding year,
taking a new lien note for the wheat so
retained, a lien may be enforced against
the new crop, according to another deci-
sion of the Minnesota Supreme court.
The court holds that a new lien note
may not be taken as a device to secure
.a preexisting debt, and that a lien may
be enforced only against the crop for
which seed was furnished by the lien
claimant, but that it is not necessary
that the seedsman have had actual pos-

MOTT-LY GLEANINGS.
Manager Harry Holmes, of the
IIolmes-Letherman Seed Co., Canton, 0.,
tells me that his house has secured laud
in Montana for the purpose of seed
growing. "Our experience iu Idaho is
most satisfactory, ' ' said Mr. Holmes,
"and with our home farm of 160 acres
it will give us the opportunity we need
to grow and try out stoclis before dis-
tributing seeds to our patrons. Of a
supply of Golden Wax beans purchased
from three growers, two lots proved true
to type, the third developed runners.
It has become necessary to raise as
much of our own seed as we possibly
can. Wc have engaged J. J. Garland,
of the University of Wisconsin, to lake
charge of the home farm." A fine lot
of Stowell's Evergreen and Golden Ban-
tam sweet corn was noted.
The Van Gorder-Hapgood Seed Co., of
Warren, O., is installing a complete set
of seed fixtures, to enable the force to
better handle the steadily increasing
trade.
The management of the Moody Seed
Store, of Youngstown, O., says it beats
all how the aliens of its large clientele
surpass the natives in producing the
best vegetables seen in town. The for-
eigners are critical seed buyers.
The Livingston Seed Co., of Colum
bus, O., reports a good call for seed for
early sowing. The retail store is ad-
vertising seeds and feeds for wild birds,
and is making good sales, in addition t'l
ireating considerable interest. Manage;"
Sherry predicts a banner season and i--
preparing for it. W. M.

closed with the catalogue is a "Red Flgnr'

the prices in the catalogue on all grass and fiel 1

prloo as being ablo t(i secure them at all," This
Is one of the few seed catalogues in which the
cental system ot pricing secm.s to liave been
fully adopted,
George Hoist, Jr,, Landscape Gardener, Flush-
ing, N. Y.- — A persuasive appeal, in the form of
a well written, well illustrated brochure ot six-
teen pages; not a catalogue in the ordinary sense
of the word, as it quotes no prices, but it briefly
describes some of the possibilities in landscape
work and gives some suggestions in regard to the
stock to be used,
William Toole & Son, Raraboo, Wis.— An 8-page
wholesale list of hardy perennials^ also pansy
l)lants and seeds, with suggestions as to what
perennials are best suited for c\it flowers. In-
cluded is a selection ot fourteen varieties of
peonies,
Austin-Coleman Co., AVayland, O. — An attrac-
tive 12-page catalogue of Elm Hill gladioli,
luirdy chrysanthemums, dahlias and tuberous
hcgonlas. In the first two or three pages are
listed a number of gladioli originated by the
company, several of them "now offered for
the first time"; then follow some "leading pro-
ductions of other growers." There are three
illustrations, one of which shows Gladiolus
Kvelyn Kirtland and the lUtle lady for whom
the variety is named.
L, E. Williams, Exeter, N. II. — A neat, blue-
covered IG-page price list of collected native
trees, shrubs and plants; tlie hard-wooded stock
varies in measurement from large specimens to
small sizes for lining up in tlie nursery, Mr.
Williams also states that he makes a specialty
of collecting native tree and plant seeds in
different parts of the country,
Geo. H. Mellen Co., Springfield, O. — Plants,
bulhs, seeds, nursery stock and miscellaneous
supplies; ninety-six freely illustrated pages, in
a colored cover. Sixteen pages are devoted to
roses, of which only own-root stock is offered.
Among the specialties are "frost-proof" cabbage
plants.
Warnaar &.Co., Sassenheim, Holland. — A cata-
logue of dahlias, mostly of the peony-flowered
class and all raised hy II. llornsveld, the special-
ist of Baarn, Holland. The booklet also contains
a brief account of Mr, Ilornsveld's experimental
work and there is a portrait of Mr, llornsveld on
the cover. Colored pictures of two new dahlias
are enclosed,
A. E. Kunderd, Goshen, Ind. — A beautifully
illustrated 40-page catalogue of gladioli of the
Kunderdi type, with directions for culture and
storage. "Tlie gladioli described in this cata-
logue," says Mr. Kunderd, "are all of our own
production and quite different, especially the
ruffled varieties, from any otlier strains." A
page is devoted to explaining "why we catalogue
only our own productions." Among the varieties
offered are seven of "an entirely new race, now
first offered."
G, H, Hunkel Co,, Milwaukee, Wis. — Whole-
sale list of seeds, "for florists and market
gardeners," a comprehensive though condensed
catalogue, devoting about equal space to vege-
table and flower seeds, witli offerings, also, of
bulbs, insecticides, tools and sundries; sixteen
pages. Illustrated, Attention is drawn to the
scarcity of certain seeds, sucli as beans, sweet
corn and spinach.
Wm, Elliott & Sons, New York, N, Y. — A
■H-page wholesale seed catalogue, "for the trade
only." In ad<lition to seeds and bulbs, tlie lists
loniprise large assortments of otlier lines of
stock, such as tools, fertilizers and other horti-
cultural reciuisites. Grass seeds are a specialty.
The receipt of tliis company's general catalogue
was announced in The R(?view of January 2'i.
Werter Do Vaughn, Omalia, Neb. — Two seed
catalogues, general and wholesale. The general
catalogue is illustrated, contains 112 pages, be-
sides the colored cover, and offers liulhs, plants,
roses, nursery stock and a full line of supplies,
as well as seeds. The wliolesale list is con-
densed to sixteen pages and cover, in narrow
jioeket form, and is devoted almost entirely to
seeds. The cental system is followed in quoting
Iiriees. Tree seeds are included.
Farmer Seed & Nursery Co., Faribault, Minn. —
A l)ook so closely packed with text, in spite of
the illustrations, that its 1'2H pages contain lists
of almost everything which is likely to be wanted
in seeds, nursery stock or supplies. Grass and
forage seeds are especially prominent and more
tlian ordinary attention is given to mixtures for
both lawn and pasture. "There will be many
shortages in seed stocks this year," says the
company.
Milton Nursery Co., Milton, Ore.— General cata-
logue of nurserv stock, roses, perennials and
otlier plants; forty pages, illustrated, in a taste-
ful cover. The nursery department comprises
nut trees, as well as tlie usual lines of fruit-
bearing and ornamental stock. Tlie rose list
occupies ten pages.
Schultz's Seed Store, Washington, D. C— An
accurate, well printed catalogue of seeds, bulbs,
roots, plants, tools and sundries; sixty-four
pages and cover. The implements make a par-
ticularlv good showing, occupying the greater
part of "sixteen pages and including nearly every-
■ thing from plows and horse rakes down to dibbles
and hand weeders.
Pittsburgh, Pa.— B. L. Elliott, of the
John Bader Co., estimates the cost of
doing business this season as having in-
creased at least seventy-five per cent as
compared with last season.
HE BULB
Agent's per-
sistent effort, cou-
pled with his var-
ious excuses and
reasons for plac-
ing your order
now at a high
price, should in itself be rea-
son enough for you, Mr.
Florist, to ponder over.
Frankly, does it not sound possible
that there is something wrong some-
where?
Does it not look as if the Dutchmen
are especially anxious to get all the
business they can at a good, high
figure ?
Well, never mind the market. If it
goes down, do you get the benefit of
a lower price? If it rises, will you
get what you contracted for? It
does not matter which way it may
go — the auction houses, department
and 10-cent stores will still get
good stock at a low figure, while
you are buying early and paying
their price.
Now, Mr. Florist, are you ready to
place your order at advanced fig-
ures, when there is lime from now
until November 1 for buying of
Dutch bulbs?

FORCING TOMATO
Qoetz's BEST YET
We especially recommend this new
forcer as the best yet introduced.
For forcing under glass it has no
equal; as a producer it stands alone
at the top of the forcing list. The
fruit is smooth, large, bright red.
Ripens ail over at once; an ex-
tremely early setter. The skin is
firm, but still thin, making it an
ideal shipper. Goetz's BEST YET
is offered to all who desire some-

BEST YET as a forcer with the

vnnr^r . ^^^ principal reasons why
tW J w*! '''■° '^^^"g so poorly are, first,
the night temperature is excessive; sec-
ond, the plants are being overwatcrcd;
third, you are overfeeding them. In
addition, they probably are growing in
solid beds and have an almost unlimited
root run. A suitable night temperature
for tomatoes in winter is GO to 62 de-
grees. They prefer a dry atmosphere;
they should have a good drying out be-
tween waterings. In solid beds, with a
big root run, fruit will not set satisfac-
torily during midwinter. If in benches
with a limited root run, where rampant
growth can be restricted, a good set can
be assured, provided artificial pollina-
tion is practiced.
You should not have applied liquid
manure at this season. The plants can-
not need it. A little given when the
crop was well set would have been of
benefit, but earlier it would be more
likely to be harmful. Remove all the
laterals and shorten back the leaves,
which help to keep the sunshine from
the branches. Plants in solid beds are
all right when the sun is higher in the
heavens, but they are at best an uncer-
tain crop in midwinter unless the roots
can be restricted. • C. \V.

Eureka, Cal.— C. W. Ward has been

asthmatic grip.
LOS ANGELES.
The Market.
Another cold week and a week of
good business has come to pass, though
stock is still so scarce that wholesalers
have had to turn down many local as
well as shipping orders. It is the gen-
eral opinion that there never has been
so much cold weather. The glass has
read lower on many previous occasions,
but never for so long a period. All out-
door stock is at a standstill, and also
even that under glass. Despite the
large amount of oil burned, neither car-
nations nor roses open freely. "Without
some help from the north, roses would
have been extremely scarce during the
last ten days, and even with this north-
ern supply wholesalers have not been
able to fill orders.
The call for good stock for parties
and decorations has been excellent, be-
sides which there has been a large de-
mand for funeral work, which has kept
the cheaper stock under. Violets dur-
ing the heavy rains were poor .ind
scentless, but now are improving every
day. Stock has been shipped as far as
Minneapolis from this jnarket, but,
while the flowers arrived in good con-
dition, their fragrance on arrival must
have been poor. Bulbous stock comes in
slowly and it will be another week or
ten (lays before there are really good
daffodils on the market. Stocks, corn-
flowers and marigolds are the best of
the cheaper flowers. Easter lilies are
coming in rapidly, both cut and in pots.
Callas arrive slowly on account of the
cold. Plumosus is extremely scarce
and likely to be for some time yet. The
usual quantity of brake and huckle-
berry is coming in, but maidenhair
ferns are short in supply. Pot plants
are more plentiful.
Various Notes.
Arthur Oleave, of Gleave's Flower
Shop, Santa Barbara, was in town this
week Inning stock. He says that busi-
ness has hocn rtMuarkably good all
through the season so far, while during
the holidays it was a great rush. This
shows what careful attention to details
and a thorough knowledge of the busi-
ness will do, for it should be-<^emenibered
that Mr. Gleave has only been in busi-
ness a little over a year.
C. C. Wooden, formerly connected
with the trade here, has obtained the
lease and fixtures of tlie Abbey Flower
Shop, at Eighth and Figueroa streets,
the late proprietors of which seem to
have vanished.
Martin Reukauf, representing H.
Bayersdorfcr & Co., of Fhiladelphia, and
F. W. Treadup, representing the A. L.
Randall Co., of Chicago, are calling on
the trade here this week.
Boyle & Darnaud, of San Diego, write
that business is exceptionally good now
and that they are adding another large
new greenhouse.
Frank Lichtenberg reports business
fine.
J. W. Wolters has had several large
decorations of late that have used up
large quantities of good stock. Big
fronds of tree ferns, long sprays of
heather and acacia were used in one
decoration with good effect.
Bernard Tassano, of the Santa Cruz
Evergreen Co., who has returned from
a trip to the north, reports doing a fine
business, even as far ahead as July.
These young men, Bernard and N. Gon-
dolfa, have worked up a nice business
in a short time. They get on well to-
gether and their cheerfulness at all
times helps to make them many friends.
The Broadway Florist reports good
business, but like everyone else, says
it is difficult to get enough stock. Jack
d 'Ortense is now with the firm.
Walter Garbett, recently connected
with the California Cut Flower & Ever-
green Co., is now with Tassano Bros.
W. Snyders, representing S. Murata
& Co., has returned from a successful
northern trip.
The California Cut Flower & Ever-
green Co. is improving its store by the
addition of a mezzanine floor.
Fred Sperry, manager of the L. A.
Floral Co., continues to receive encour-
aging letters regarding the excellence of
the stock shipped and the careful meth-
ods of packing.
S. Murata & Co. are getting settled
in their new quarters and report ship-
ping business as being in excess of the
average for this season, despite the
scarcitv of stock.

IS well siqipliod with orchids, there be-
ing sufficient ofl'erinp to fill all require-
ments. Prices remain the same. Valley
is a little more plentiful. Supplies of
acacia and manzanita blooms, fruit blos-
soms and pussy willow are increasing
rapidly.
Various Notes.
The principal feature of an elaborate
decoration arranged recently at the Na-
tive Sons' hall by Pelicano, Rossi & Co.
was a gold horn of plenty which stood
about eighteen feet high. The column
was garlanded with violets and the horn
Avas treated spirally with violets and
purple ribbon. Out of the horn pro-
jected fifteen dozen American Beauty
roses. About fifteen dozen bunches of
fifty violets each were used. At the
base of the column was a garden elToct
of cinerarias.
Ferrari Bros, are attaining consider-
able importance as commercial orchid
growers. They decided to go into this
line more strongly some time ago and
now are bringing in a nice cut. They
also have a fine cut of tulips.
It is understood that V. H. Forrest,
until recently with MacRorie & Mc-
Laren, intends to engage in the deco-
ration business on his own account.
The California Dahlia Growers' Asso-
ciation will hold a meeting at the Palace
hotel February 6.
Albert O. Stein made a pall of sweet
peas, the first of the season, for the fu-
neral of Betty de Jong. • lie also made
a pall of orchids and lily of the valley
for a noted rabbi's funeral the same
week. Mr. Stein reports numerous
table decorations and an important wed-
ding, so his force is winding up a busy
January.
The general ap]ioarance of the store
of the Francis Floral Co., at Powell and
Sutter streets, has been greatly im-
proved by the thorough renovation it
has just received. Under the new ar-
rangement excellent display facilities
arc provided for the company's own
basket creations, which are its special-
ty. Francis Schlotzhauer, the pro-
])rietor, has just brought out a new line
of novelties resembling in design and
finisli work that was done in Italy many
years ago. No two of these baskets are
alike, and after being used as orna-
mental containers for flowers, they make
handsome fruit baskets, carcl trays, etc.
Mr. Schlotzhauer says these novelties
are popular witli tourists.
Mrs. R. E. Darbee usually ships
many violets for St. Valentine's day,
but she is afraid stock will be scarce
this year unless there should come a
little rain and plenty of sunshine in the
meanwhile. She has an order to supply
the bou([uets of violets to be distrib-
uted at the National Fruit Jobbers' con-
vention at New Orleans by the Cali-
fornia delegates. The practice of send-
ing California flowers for distribution
at conventions outside the state, she
says, is rapidly gaining in favor and
should be encouraged by the florists.
Mrs. Darbee has just received a hand-
some silver cup awarded for the l)Ost
collection of chrysanthemums at the
convention of the International Soil
Products Co., in El Paso, Tex., also a
number of ribbons from that exhibition,
as well as from the recent state fair
held at Dallas, Tex. These she is dis-
playing prominently at her retail store
on Hyde street, in conjunction with the
five medals and other awards she re-
ceived from the P. P. T. E.

The most rapturously and strikingly beautiful little
rose ever introduced. The color is absolutely new and
startling in its biilliancy- golden yellow, tipped with
clear cerise. The little buds and open flowers are ele-
gantly finished and of most perfect form. Habit of the
very best, strong and compact; freedom of bloom is
remarkable and continuous throughout the entire sea-
son. We have given it a fair and thorough trial and
have no hesitancy in offering it as the one best selling
rose you ever handled. It is a money-maker.

been slightly stiffer than usual — carna-
tions, 75 cents to $1; roses, $1.50 and

Whites and Eomans are fairly plentiful,
but often the supply does not meet the
demand. Valley is seldom seen. Orchids
are in sufficient supply. Roses are
scarce. Carnations are cleaned up daily,

The Florists' Review
February 1, 1917,
large flowers shown. There have been
a great number of funerals, perhaps
more than usual, and floral tokens have
been used to a greater extent than they
have been for several years.
Various Notes.
The Tonseth Floral Co. has arranged
to keep permanently the premises it
used for the holidays and the partition
has been removed, doubling the space
occupied previously. A better oppor-
tunity for display and more room for
customers is gained by the change.
Martin & Forbes Co. is cutting a fine
lot of orchids.
Rahn & Herbert Co. is cutting some
calendulas, flowers not often seen on
this market in midwinter.
Clarke Bros., A. F. Lalane, S. G. Lub-
liner, E. R. Chappell and Niklas & Son,
proprietors of the five flower stores on
Morrison street, all report business good.
The five stores are all in the downtown
district, between Fourth and Eleventh
streets.
The nurserymen are busy lifting and
shipping stock. J. B. Pilkington re-
ports a satisfactory business so far this
season. S. W. "W.
SPOKANE, WASH.
The Market.
The rush of business which continued
during tlio weeks following the holi-
days now is showing a tendency to re-
lax a little. Business, however, is still
good and about as much as can
be easily and conveniently handled.
Stock is not plentiful and the quality is
just ordinary. Home-grown roses are
practically out of the market, but good
stock is being received from eastern
sources. The shipped-in stock has good
keeping qualities; in many cases it is
in the carriers' hands from fifty to
seventy-two hours. Carnations are of
fair quality and in supply hardly equal
to demand. Bulbous stock is fair but
scarce, Golden Spurs, Paper Whites and
freesias being about the only items of-
fered. The delay in bulb shipments
last year is responsible for the stock's
late appearance.
Various Notes.
Bornson & Halle are cutting good
sweet peas with stems from sixteen to
twenty-four inches long. Stems over
twenty inches are common with this
firm. They are trying out Carnation
Aviator this year and speak highly of
it. Tliey are propagating this variety
heavily and intend to plant it exten-
sively another year.
Donart & Stapleton report business
good, so good that Mr. Donart is prac-
tically quitting the production of cu-
cumliors and tomatoes nt his vegetable
range and is devoting the space to flow-
ers, to supply the retail store trade.
He is contemplating the erection of
another range of houses just outside
the city of Coeur d 'Aleno, Idaho.
A call at the store of the Spokane
Florist Co. found the force busy. The
windows wore bright with genistas,
jonquils and yellow tulips.
Superintendent of Parks .Tohn W.
Duncan was the principal speaker at
the annual banquet of the Spokane
Robert Burns Society. Mr. Duncan, a
Scotchman and a great admirer of the
Scotch poet, was well qualified to per-
form the task asked of him.

President, John Watson, Newark, N. Y.; Vice-

tary and General Manager, Curtis Nye Smith,
Boston, Mass.; Treasurer, Teter Youngers,
Geneva, Neb.
At the annual meeting of the Mocsa-
chusetts Nurserymen's Association, held
in Boston, the following officers were
elected for the ensuing year: President,
E. W. Breed, of Clinton; vice-president,
John Kirkegaard, of Bedford; secre-
tary-treasurer, W. H. Thurlow, of West
Newbury. The executive committee
consists of the above officers and G.
Howard Frost, James Bradley and Sid-
ney Littlefield.
The suit for trade-mark infringement
and unfair competition brought by the
Stark Bros. Nurseries & Orchards Co.,
of Louisiana, Mo., against the W. P.
Stark Nurseries, of Stark City, Mo.,
which has been on the docket for
months, now is before the Missouri Su-
preme court. William P. Stark was
one of the original brothers, an officer
and director of the plaintiff company
before he established his present busi-
ness at stark City. Certain motions
filed in the case have been overruled,
and the case will be tried on its merits.
The plaintiff therefore will proceed to
give proofs upon the issues involved.

Toole's Hardy Plants for Cot Flowers
The following varieties are the most valuable for summer cut flow-
ers Why not grow some of them? The wholesale market uses Im-
mense quantities. You will find them valuable in your retail trade to
furnish variety, and to fill in when other flowers are scarce.
In growing hardy plants you have no expense for coal, no depre-
ciation and Interest charges on expensive glass.
Your original investment is comparatively small and should be
returned several fold the first season.
A few of Toole's hardy perennials for cut flowers will increase your
net profits for the year, and it is net profits rather than gross sales
that count.
Let us book your order now for early spring shipment as soon as
our season opens here, from April 1 to 15. All fresh dug, healthy stock.
Strong one-year-old field grown plants or strong divisions.

THE WESTERN ASSOCIATION.
Officers Elected.
At the twenty-seventh annual meet-

serymen, held at Kansas City January
24 and 25, the following officers were
elected:
President — E. M. Sherman, Charles
Citv, la.
Vice-president — W. C. Reed, Vin-
cennes, Ind.
Secretary and treasurer — Geo. W. Hol-
singer, Rosedale, Kan.
Executive committee — Geo. A. Mar-
shall, Arlington, Neb.; Milton Moss,
Huntsville, Ala.; H. W. Hobbs, Bridge-
port, Ind.; E. H. Balco, Lansing, Kan.;
Geo. H. Johnson, Kansas City, Mo.
Next meeting — Kansas City, January
23 and 24, 1918.
A Successful Meeting.
It was agreed that this was the most
successful meeting the trade in the west
has had. Forty-five nurseries were ifp-
resented, with an attendance of sixty.
Not only was the discussion of trade
problems of much value to the individ-
uals, but the business done in the pur-
chase and sale of stock made a larger
total than ever before.
Action on three matters of special im-
portance was deferred to await the ac-
tion of the national organization: Stand-
ardization of sales practices; coopera-
tive hail insurance; recommendation of
an increase in import duties on orna-
mental stock.
Trade Topics Discussed.
There was a long program of talks.
Few of those named to lead discussions
had written out what they had to say
and most of the remarks were short and
to the point. This is a summary:
' ' Would a National Eetail Associa-
tion as a Branch of the American Asso-
ciation Benefit the Trade?" by J. R.
Mayhew. Ans. — Yes, and help the re-
tailer as well, by making the business
more safe in every way.
"How are We to Raise Our Prices,
Wholesale and Retail, to Meet the In-
creased Cost of Production and of Do-
ing Business?" by G. A. Marshall. Ans.
—An increase in price is going to come,
but it will be gradual and can not start
before next fall, as many now liave
their catalogues out.
"How Can We Meet the Advanced
Cost of Materials, Such as Boxes,
Straps. Lumber, Paper, Twine, Burlap
and Nails?" by. Bert Lake. Ans.— Tho
only way to get around this is by co-
operative buying through the headquar-
ters of the association.
"What Will be the Outcome of the
Apple Tree Market this Spring?" by
J. H. Skinner. Ans.^-There will be a
shortage in most varieties.
"What Was the Matter with the
Do It Now!
Go over your Rose Houses carefully and estimate the plants you need
for replanting this Spring, and place your order. Roses are going to be
scarce. The Manetti situation is such that those who get it are fortunate, and the
demand is far greater than the limited supply. We have sold over lOO.OiO grafted
Roses in the last two weeks. We have 'iCO.OOO more to sell. There is considerable
building contemplated. "Changing from Carnations to Roses" is a frenuenl expla-
nation made when placing an order. If you are short at planting time it will be
your fault and not ours. The growing of grafted Roses is an industry in itself. At
Cromwell the large quantity of Roses grown for cut flowers makes it possible to get
scions that are first-class. We want your Rose Plant order, and we want to be able
to say "yes" to your inuuiry. Estimate your reauirements and write us.

ities.

NEW ROSES
GOLDEN GEN
DONALD MacDONALD
A new Hawlmark lied Rose sent out this year by Alex. Dickson and Sons.
Tliis rose lias been tested for winter forcing for two years, and it produces more
red roses during the winter than any rose now being grown. It is not a large
rose, but has perfectly formed, medium sized flowers that sell at sight. Color
bright orange carmine; will not turn blue because the base of the petals are
orange.
It is not a summer lose, as it has the same substance as Killarney, and from
Thanksgiving until May it is a money maker for the rose grower, as no pinching
is necessary.

"Is it Fair to the Retail Nurserymen
Who Advertise for Papers to Give
Trees and Plants as Premiums for J>ub-
scription?" by Carl Sonderegger. Ans.
— This question was a hard one and
different nurserymen have different
opinions.
A number of other discussions grew
out of the foregoing, and from ques-
tions.

BROWN SCALE ON FERNS.
I enclose a Boston fern frond cov-
ered with brown scales, and as I have
had little experience in the culture of
ferns, I would like to have your ad-
vice as to the cause of this condition.
B. & B.— Wis.
The fern frond in question was badly
infested with the common brown fern
scale insect. For this particular insect
a solution of tobacco extract, consist-
ing of one part, by measure, of the
tobacco extract to fifty parts of water,
will prove a good exterminator, pro-
vided the solution is used faithfully for
several applications. If the plants are
in pots, it is an easy matter to dip them
at intervals of ten days; and if they
are planted out on a bench, a weekly
application of the solution by means of
a spray pump will answer the purpose.
W. H. T.
PTERIS FRONDS BURN.
Please inform me through The Eeview
wliat is responsible for the poor con-
dition of the enclosed pteris plants.
Tho fronds seem to burn at the tips.
W. F. J.— la.
The condition of the pteris fronds
would indicate that the plants were
overwatcred after they were repotted.
Pteris plants of this type will stand
much water after they are well rooted,
but they are frequently finicky when
heavilv watered after a late potting.

Business is good. The supply of
stock, however, is rather short, find
practically everything cleans up read-
ily. Choice American Beauties are in
good supply, but they do not have a
lively market. Other roses are scarce
and sell on sight. Carnations are in
fair supply and sell easily. Easter
lilies are cleaning up from day to day.
Sweet peas are in abundance and sell
satisfactorily. Valley, orchids and sin-

The Market.
Business has been extremely heavy
(luring the last two weeks. Much stock
has come in, but not enough in some
lines to meet the demand. Eoses are
badly off crop and those that come in
are sold quickly. Prices are high for
these, considering the time of year.
Ophelia seems to be more plentiful than
the other varieties and its quality is
fine. Russell sells in a hurry. Killarney
and White Killarney roses move well
by reason of the scarcity of pther va-
rieties. Carnations arrive in good quan-
tities, but they are cleaned up early
and some growers are called on two and
three times daily. Some of the stock
is cut rather closely, but all blooms go
in the rush.
Narcissi are more plentiful than any
other flowers and quantities of them
are disposed of. They fill in nicely.
Romans are not plentiful as yet and
arc in great demand. Sweet peas now
are extra fine and a great number of
them are disposed of at good prices. A
few jonquils are to be seen, but not
enough to cut any figure. Freesias are
more plentiful and sell well. Valley is
scarce and the demand is heavy.
Ferns have been scarce during the
last ten days. Lilies are not plentiful
and the demand for them is strong.
Violets are moving nicely and the qual-
ity is all that could be desired. The
demand for potted plants is strong.
These include azaleas, primulas, be-
gonias, cyclamens, ferns, palms, etc.
Various Notes.
The Indianola Florists report that
business is rushing and that it is hard
to get enough stock.
E. Metzmaier says he can hardly find
enough stock to go around.
The Livingston Seed Co. has a fine
line of cyclamens. These plants have
had a good sale.
The Columbus Floral Co. says that
stock never has been so scarce as at the
present time.
The Munk Floral Co. is marketing a
good cut of roses, in addition to a line
of potted plants.
The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. has been
hard pushed in getting settled in its
new store.
Walter Marion, of Marion Bros., Cir-
cleville, was a visitor last week. He
says the firm is cutting the finest sweet
peas ever and that Marion brand car-
nations are of top-notch quality at
present. J. M. .

INDIANAPOLIS.
The Market.
No complaints are being made as to
business, but all kinds of grumblings
and mumblings about the shortage of
stock are being heard. Much sickness
in the city has accelerated the demand
for carnations, roses, sweet peas and
freesias, while many funerals also have
drawn heavily on the supply of roses
and carnations, making a severe short-
age in these two flowers. The prices
have not increased greatly; roses make
$3 to $15 and carnations $3 to $4 per
hundred, but there are not nearly
enough of them to meet the demand.
The supply of sweet peas is limited,
but the prospects are bright for a tig
crop.
More bulbous stock is available. Paper
Whites are numerous, tulips are making
a better appearance and freesias ar« al-
most plentiful at $1.50 to $4 per hun-
dred. Easter lilies are still rare, but
callas have increased in numbers con-
siderably.
Good potted stock is abundant and m
good demand. Cyclamens, begonias nnd
primroses are especially attractive and
in good favor. Smilax, plumosus and
Sprengeri are plentiful and of good
quality, but fern leaves, although abun-
dant, "arc of only fair quality.

Henry W. Rieman reports excellent
business, especially in funeral work.
The sales have been so active that it has
been necessary to cut stock green to
fill orders. ,. t^, <-
A visit to the Indianapolis Flower &
Plant Co. range is of special interest.
The rose's are in fine shape and m good
crop. An exceedingly heavy crop of
carnations is coming on. The pot plants
are especially attractive, ferns, prim-
roses, cyclamens, begonias and cin-
erarias being in fine condition. One of
the most important items in the houses
was the full line of promising looking
bedding stock. E. E. T.
Springfield, 111.— Hembreiker & Cole
have ordered material for another house,
of the John C. Moninger Co., Chicago.
It is to be 35x150.
Reinbeck, la.— A greenhouse has been
erected here by H. J. Watson, who is
going after the Reinbeck people hard to
make his first season's business a big
one. Mr. Watson believes that a good
start is a good omen.

NEW BEDFOED, MASS.
The Market.
The dark, cold weather prevailing
has influenced the market. Prices are
high and the indications are they will
remain so for some time. Bulbous stock
is to be had, but it is not of good qual-
ity. Tulips are short, narcissi are
small and violets are still scarce. Sweet
peas are of better quality than they
have been, but are not in great de-
mand.
Various Notes.
William H. Davenport declares busi-
ness is about normal. His cut flower
trade now far exceeds his pot plant
business.
S. E. Shaw is cutting some good
spikes of Snapdragon Keystone. He
will soon be offering narcissi in quan-
tity.
James Garthley has been cutting fine
olooms of Carnation Philadelphia. Mr.
Garthley is the only grower in this
vicinity who has been successful with
this variety.
Edward M. Pierce states that he has
no complaint to make as to the amount
of business done. Carnations with him
are a little off crop, but they were
flowering heavily until the dark weather
set in.
E. H. Woodhouse has had consider-
ably funeral work lately. Mr. Wood-
house has some fine Easter lilies that
promise a splendid crop for Easter. He
is growing the variety known as For-
mosa. W. M. P.
NORFOLK. VA.
January 24 J. W. Grandy, Jr., of
Grandy the Florist, gave a banquet to
his employees. Covers were laid for six-
teen.
Mr. Grandy took this occasion to ex-
press to his employees his appreciation
of their services, services that have in
a measure been responsible for the
steady growth of the business. In a
few brief remarks he emphasized the
importance of a continuance of that
courteous, fair treatment of customers
which has always been the policy of the
concern. Much stress was laid on serv-
ice and cooperation.
Mr. Grandy announced that the busi-
ness in the future would be put on a
cooperative profit-sharing plan, and that
each and every employee would share
in the profits of the business. The din-
ner will be made an annual affair.

Greenhouse Heating.
Subscribers are invited to write the
Editor of this Department with regard to
any details of greenhouse heating that
are not understood. But please do not
ask The Review to make a choice of ap-
paratus for you. The greenhouse heating
equipment advertised in this paper is, we
believe, the best for the trade to buy,
and each article the best in the special
field of its adaptation.
BETTER USE I^RGER RETURNS.
I intend to build a sash house 10x70,
running east and west, with the boiler
room at the east end. Tlie side walls
will be fifty inches high. There will be
no glass in the north wall, but there
will be twenty inches of glass in the
south wall. The walls will be construct-
ed of sheathing and roofing paper,
with shingles on the outside. Would
two 2-inch flow pipes be satisfactory,
with four 11/^ -inch pipes at the south
side and five l^/i-inch pipes at the north
side, as returns under the benches? The
expansion tank will be connected to
the highest point of the system.
C.'L. F.— Til.
Since tlie letter from C. L. F. does
not state the temperature he desires to
maintain in the house, we are not able
to determine whether or not the instal-
lation of the heating system described
will give the desired results. Theoret-
ically, tlic amount of radiation sug-
gested is amply large for 60 degrees
when the outsi(le temperature is 10 de-
grees below zero. In actual practice,
however, we do not advise the use of
li/i-inc'li pipe for returns in houses more
than forty or fifty feet in length, and
then only when they are three or four
feet a"bove the top of the boiler, or when
they are used in a closed system. For
60 degrees we would substitute four
li/^-inch returns for the five iVi-lnch
pipes suggested. Or, better yet, use six
2-inch returns in the house.
In case the house is much exposed to
high winds, or if the walls and roof are
not tight, we would use two 214-inch
flow pipes and six 2-ineh returns, for
60 degrees. Provided 50 to 55 degrees
will suflico, one 2-inch flow and two 2-
inch returns might be used on the wall
where there is no glass. If the flow
pipes are run downhill and the highest
point of each flow pipe is connected
with the expansion tank, there will be
no occasion for using air valves.
A HOUSE ON SLOPING GROUND.
I have erected a greenhouse and shall
soon be ready to install the heating
pipes, I shall'heat with hot water. The
house is 13x60 and nine feet high to the
ridge. There are three feet of glass in
the south wall for a distance of thirty-
six feet in the length of the house; the
remainder is boarded. The north side is
well protected by buildings. The boiler
shed is at the west end and there is a

Record
The past year has developed unheard of commercial records for
the business interests of this country.
U. S. exports have reached the enormous sum of $4,000,000,000.
The bank clearings of our country were $260,102,653,054.
The tonnage in steel assumed the astounding figures of 40.000,C()0

The Florists* Review
Fbbbuaby 1, 1917.
gradual upward slope of the ground,
amounting to a little over three feet,
from the west to the east end. So I
have set the boiler on the surface of the
ground at the west end. Is not that the
same as putting the boiler down three
feet where the ground is level? Do you
think two 2^-inch flow pipes overhead,
■with six 2-inch returns, would be suffi-
cient to hold a temperature of 55 degrees
here, in southwest Missouri?
O. C. M.— Mo.
There should be no difficulty in heat-
ing the house described to 55 degrees
with two 2iA-inch flow pipes and six
2-inch returns, sO far as the amount of
radiation is concerned.
The three feet of rise in the pipes is
only equal to one and one-half feet so
far as its effect upon the circulation is
concerned, since it is the average height
of the pipes that must be taken into ac-
count. We would prefer to carry the
flow pipes upon the plates and the re-
turns either on the walls or under the
benches, but in order to secure a satis-
factory circulation with uphill flows it
may be necessary to run them about two
feet below the ridge. The returns should
be carried as high as possible, but even
then it would be better to drop the
boiler so that its top would not be more
than two feet above the floor of the
greenhouse.
WHEN BOILEB IS EXTRA LARGE.
We have built a greenhouse 12x56
and are putting in a Furman 6-section
hot water boiler, rated at 1,650. The
radiation for this house figures about
300 feet. We bought the extra large
boiler so we could build a larger house
later. We arc putting the boiler in a
cellar eight feet deep; this will allow
the returns to be about two feet above
the top of the boiler. We have run a
2-inch flow pipe through the center of
the house and connected it with nine
ly^-iuch returns, four under one side
bench and five under the other side
bench. Later in the season we expect
to put two 11/4 -inch returns in a hotbed
at the south side of the greenhouse.
These returns will be about one foot
lower than the returns in the green-
house.
We are told that our boiler is so large
that the water will not flow, but will
foam and go out at the expansion tank
outlet. If that is correct, should we
reduce the radiation of the boiler by
running only a few sections of it?
Should the highest point of the flow
pipe be over the boiler or at the farther
end of the house? We could have it at
either place. We understand that the
expansion tank should be above the
highest point of the flow pipe. If so,
should it be attached to the flow pipe
or to a main return at the boiler? We
find so Tiianv differences of opinion on
where the tank should be attached, and
on the size of tank for this size of
boiler, that we are at a loss to know
what to do, as we have always used
steam heretofore.
C. P. H. & S.— Pa.
From the data given wc cannot deter-
mine what temperature is desired, but
if the amount of radiation has been fig-
ured correctly we would say that a
temperature "of 55 degrees could be
readily secured with 300 square feet of
radiation in a house 12x56 feet, pro-
vided there is no glass in the side walls.

is greater than is needed, it is impor-
tant that the heating pipes be of good
size and thus assist in obtaining a
rapid circulation. "When a large num-
ber of small pipes are used as returns,
the water often circulates only in the
upper pipes in the coils, or in those in
which the circulation is favored. This
may reduce the circulation one-half or
more and will greatly increase the tend-
ency of the water to "boil over."
Provided there is no glass in the
walls, and a temperature of 55 degrees
is desired, we would use not less than
one 214-inch flow under the ridge and
eight li^-inch returns under the
benches, and the tendency toward iioil-
ing over will be lessened if one 2^ -inch
flow pipe is run upon each plate and
connected with three 2-inch returns
under each side bench. Even though
only one 214-inch flow is used, we would
prefer to use seven 2-inch returns
rather than eight l^^-inch. Except for
the danger of boiling over, two 2-inch
flows might be used in the house instead
of two 214-iDch, as suggested above.
For 300 square feet of radiation, not
more than 400 square inches of grate
surface are needed. In cast the boiler
has a rocking grate, we would suggest
disconnecting two of the sections, one
on each side, by taking out the bolts
which fasten them to the rocking bars.
Fire brick may be used to cover these
grate sections and lessen the size of
the firebox. Unless the size of the grate
is reduced, little will be gained by tak-
ing off one or more of the sections. If
careful attention is given to the firing
we would not consider it necessarj'.
The flow pipes should run downhill,
with the highest point over the boiler,

EVERLASTING VIRGINIA WHITE CEDAR
HVEBYBODY agrees that Plant Tubs made of
everlasting: Virc^inia White Cedar will,
best resist rot or decay. The "Keystone" brandi
of White Cedar Plant Tubs are made of this cele-
brated wood, and these goods are painted inside
and oat with best oil paints, a rich green.
They are bound with heavy steel hoops for the large
size, and electric- welded wire hoops (galvanized)
on the small size. The large sizes are trimmed
with handsome drop handles and metal feet, and
have perforated, removable bottoms.
These Cedar Tubs are made in all sizes, from 24^
inches top diameter down to 6 inches, amply large
for a Bay Tree and small enough for a Hyacinth.
Every one guaranteed. Booklet in colors, with
prices, furnished upon reauest.

the side near the top. When the expan-
sion tank is connected with the main
return, in case the water boils there ia
a back pressure on the return, which
tends to check the circulation and etill
further increase the difficulty. This is
particularly likely to occur when the
boiler is too large for the radiation.
For the hotbed we would prefer to
use two 2-inch returns. These may be
connected with the 2%-inch flow pipe
on the plate nearest the hotbed. Pro-
vided a temperature more or less than
55 degrees is desired, it is merely neces-
sary to increase or lessen the number of
the returns, one return making a differ-
ence of about 5 degrees.

About 75,000 rose plants are already out

the new carnations Belle "Washburn is'

flower to be found of the variety, and
as large a stock as possible is being

HIGH COST OF —
The most interesting thing nowadays is the high cost of things,
and the next most interesting thing is how to combat the high cost.
Agree with us? If so, lay in a supply of our square paper locking
bands and pots and improve the quality of your plants, save a lot o
time and be up-to-date. Our square paper pots will cut the cost of
plant growing.
THE RAMSBURQ LOCKING POT
is the ideal soil container. It is made of first quality manila board
and will last the entire season and remain in shape to market the
plants in. We have a size for every requirement, both in bands and
pots. Send a postal for samples and price list.
Tlie advantages are all with the square paper pot. Give them a trial.

The Market.
The demand last week, although hold-
ing up well, was not so good aa that of
the week previous. The supply of cut
stock is still short, as the weather has
continued dark and cold. There is just
enough stock to meet the demand, and
most of the florists clean up their sup-
ply each night. Roses are none too plen-
tiful, Russells and American Beauties
being almost at a premium. The Kil-
larneys are off color on account of the
dark weather. Ward roses are in bet-
ter supply, hut Ophelia and Sunburst
are short. White roses are extremely
sparce. Tho supply of carnations is
smaller than it was a week ago. Spencer
sweet peas arc arriving in large quan-
tities and arc selling well. Jonquils
appeared in the market last week for
the first time this season. Forget-me-
nots have also arrived. There is a good
supply of Easter lilies and a few callas.
Valley continues high-priced. Some
splendid single violets arc offered.
Stevia is on the short side and'the sup-
ply of narcissi is heginning to diminish.
Tulips are in fine demand. The call for
funeral work during the week was large.
Blooming plants are in fine demand,
especially yellow narcissi, cyclamens,
tulips, azaleas and rhododendrons.
I'roparations are well under way for
St. Valentine's day business. Indica-
tions point to a good supply of \iolcts
for this day.
Various Notes.

Miss Margaret Flick, of the Flick
Floral Co., is spending a week at De-
troit, where she is combining business
with pleasure. The Flick Floral Co. had
a busy week of funeral work. The men
are cutting some fine Spencer sweet
peas, and are showing the first jonquils
and forgot-menots of the season.
Miss Margaret Vesey returned last
week from Muncie, Ind., where she had
been visiting her sister.
The Doswell Floral Co. had a good
business last week, with just enough
cut flowers to meet the demand. The
company is cutting good Shawyer,
Ophelia and Killarney roses. The sin-
gle violets arc excellent.
Edgar Wenninglioff had some attrac-
tive baskets of sweet ]ieas and Shawyer
roses in his window decoration lf;st

ing in good demand.

The Florists' Review
FlBHUABY 1, 1917.
GRAND RAPIDS, MICH.
The Market.
Business during January -was unusu-
ally good. Stock of late has been a lit-
tle short at times, particularly lilies and
roses. Callas are almost unobtainable,
but Easter lilies are now less scarce
and of good quality. Carnations arrive
in sufficient quantities to supply the
demand. Bulbous stock is coming in
slowly. Yellow narcissi and a few tu-
lips are about all to be had, but another
week may see quite an increase.
Some good freesias are now offered.
Violets are plentiful and command a
good price. Sweet peas are slow in ar-
riving and the demand is becoming
heavier. Good smilax is hard to find,
but other greens are good. Cyclamens
and azaleas certainly are having their
innings now. Primroses are plentiful
in all varieties.
Various Notes.
Eli Cross has had some fine azalea
plants on display in his store window.
Miss Mary Hartnett reports business
good. She expects to move to her new
location soon.
Arthur Crabb has been busy with
numerous funeral orders.
The Wealthy Avenue Floral Co. has
some cyclamen plants that are bound
to please the buyer. A. F. C.
PITTSBURGH.
The Market.
Conditions have not changed much
in the last week. Stock of all kinds
is plentiful, except roses, which have
not shown much increase in quantity.
The demand for them far exceeds the
supply every day. The retail stores all
seem to have been quite busy, except on
Saturday, when there was some com-
plaint, as the big fire in the downtown
district seemed to cause a certain
amount of excitement and the usual
counter trade fell off as a result.
Various Notes.
The Karl Koenig estate is sending to
the Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co. some ex-
cellent lilies, narcissi and tulips.
Murray McGrew, of G. P. Weaklen &
Co., seems to be exceedingly happy; at
any rate he is whistling a good deal.

Dear Sirs:— Thrip Juice No. 2 is the most effective in-
B I secticide I have ever used. Our Chrysanthemums were the
'«*ol.(A^w•■■ finest grown in our city, and I credit Hammond's Thrip
Juice for much of the vigorous growth of plants and Quantity of bloom. Believe me, it is
putting color into our Carnations at this time. We spray constantly through a brass ball

once, and oblige. Very truly yours, W. J. & M, S. VESEY.
Fort Wayne, Ind., Jan. 25, 1917.
Mr. Benjamin Hammond. Beacon, N. Y.
Dear Sir:— Last summer we found Hammond's No. 2 Thrip Juice very effective in keep-
ing down the leaf roller on Roses and Chrysanthemums. By spraying heavily once a week
it catches the young as they hatch out and before they become millers. In previous sea-
sons we have been kept busy catching the miller by hand, but last year we were saved the
trouble and annoyance. Send ten gallons more, right along.
Very truly yours, AARON SHIVES,
Supt. of Flick Floral Co. Greenhouses.

Lawn Hose Made
for Rough Usage
We know all about the trouble florists have with
the ordinary kind of lawn hose.
We know that nothing but the very best grade of
hose will give satisfactory service against the hard
I j|uisage it must, withstand around the greenhouse.
Therefore when we say that Goodyear Wingfoot
Lawn Hose is made to meet the most trying condi-
tions, we have in mind especially the use of this hose
around the greenhouse.
You can drag Goodyear Wingfoot Lawn Hose
over cinder and concrete walks and around sharp
bench legs. You can leave it lying in the sun and
where wheelbarrows run over iu We do not expect
you to always put it away and dry it out.
We have all these things in mind when we tell you
that Goody ear Wingfoot Lawn Hose is the most serv-
iceable, all-around good hose that the florist can
possibly buy.
Goodyear Wingfoot Lawn Hose is made in such
a way that it cannot kink and it is guaranteed not to
burst at any time within two whole lawn hose seasons.

MILWAUKEE.
The Market.
Business in general has shown some
improvement during the last week. The
demand for all classes of stock has been
good and the available supply has been
cleaned up at satisfactory prices. Car-
nations are in good supply, but the de-
mand is sufficiently large so that there
is no surplus on anything but reds.
These seem to be in abundance and the
call is not sufficiently strong to use up
the cut. Prices, however, show no de-
cline and are holding firm at from $3 to
$4 per hundred.
Eoses are scarce. There is a medium
cut of the different varieties, but the
demand seems to be extra heavy and
the shorter grades are cleaned up each
morning. Russell, Hoosier Beauty and
Ophelia are particularly scarce and it is
impossible to get these varieties in any
quantity. The supply of double violets
seems to be about equal to the demand.
Singles are hard to obtain and few or-
ders are being filled on this item. The
quality of the doubles is good and fair
prices' are being realized. Sweet peas
are coming in more heavily at this time,
but the supply is as yet far short of the
demand. Cattleyas are in medium sup-
ply, but the demand is light just now.
Consequently there are plenty to go
around. Spring stock, such as tulips,
narcissi, daffodils, etc., arc coming in
more heavily, but the cut is moving
readilv. Easter lilies are scarce at this
time, ' due to the shortage of supply
rather than to an excessive demand.
Plants are moving nicely and there is
quite a call for hyacinths.
Taken all in all, the condition of the
market is a healthy one, although more
stock could be disposed of if it were to
be had. The shortage of coal, together
with the extremely cold weather, has
placed a burden on the growers, and
this is an item that will go far toward
increasing the cost of production this
vear.
Various Notes.
F. H. Holton, who has been ill for
about six weeks, left January 20 for
Hot Springs, Ark. Mr. Holton is feel-
ing much better and expects to return
fully recovered in about three weeks.
Mrs. Holton and their daughter, Ruth,
accompanied him to the south.
Alfred Schiller, who underwent an
operation recently, is reported to be
feeling somewhat better and his many
friends are extending him their best
wishes for a complete recovery.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.
The Market.
Business in general seems to iiave
/een good, although rather erratic by
reason of much funeral work one day
and practically nothing the next. The
market has been adequately supplied
with cut flowers. The roses, Richmond,
Killarney and Eussell, ranged in price
from $6 to $8. Violets were quoted at
$1 per hundred, with tulips and nar-
cissi making $4. Valley is difficult to
procure and the price is stiff; the same
applies to orchids. Easter lilies have
been in robust demand and the good
prices have pleased the growers of this
stock. Flowering plants continue to
sell readily, primroses and begonias
probably leading in popularity. Good
Boston ferns clear easily.
Various Notes.
The W. H. Lill Co., which now occu-
pies the store formerly conducted by
the R. M. Chapman Co., is doing a splen-
did business in its attractive flower de-
partment, over which Miss Hayden
presides.
The Minneapolis Market Gardeners'
Association held its annual midwinter
picnic January 20. This was the sev-
enteenth winter picnic held by the
Minneapolis gardeners, who find the
summer months too busy for such an
event. About 400 gardeners and friends
took part in the celebration, a feature
of which was a basket supply, served
picnic style, each member or family
bringing the food to the auditorium
in a basket. A lengthy vaudeville pro-
gram in the afternoon was followed at
night by dancing and games. The offi-
cers of the association are: President,
Nelson H. Reeves; secretary, E. O. Bal-
lard; treasurer, F. M. Lehrby. W. M.
Bofferding, as head of the reception
committee, had a busy time of it to
make evervbody meet everybody else.
The Whitted Floral Co. forces have
been hard pushed by a large quantity
of funeral work.
The Minnesota Garden Flower So-
ciety will hold an interesting meeting
February 9 at the Public Library.
Messrs. Stein and Keeley, of Holm &
Olson, St. Paul, recently visited friends
at the Whitted Floral Co. stores. They
were dressed up in their gayest attire
and came over with 8,000 others sim-
ilarly "dolled up," to boost the carnival
being held at St. Paul this week.

roof bar is exposed, allowing free circulation of air; end of bar can be easily painted, thereby preventing decay.
B Method of attaching roof bars to ridge. Galvanized ridge and bar tie below is screwed lo under sides of ridge
and roof bars. On top of roof a screw is driven through tongue of bar into ridge.
C Galvanized sill and bar tie where wooden gutters are used. Also long screw through tongue of roof bar, se-
curely fastens bar to concentric sill.
D Bars cut concentric principle, permitting condensation from drip grooves in bars to fall free of sill into drip
conductor, thereby preventing decay so commonly found where the old style bevel sill and bevel cut bars are used.
The boring of the roof bars at the factory and furnishing galvanized ridge and sill ties with galvan-
ized screws eliminates the poor job and extra work which "toe-nailing" invariably means. Actual tests
have proven that this improved construction of ours is considerably stronger than the old way.
This is not an experiment. It is just one of the many features which make the "Foley House" super-
ior to any other type.

The eleventh annual dinner of the
Nassau County Horticultural Society
was held in the Oriental hotel, Glen
Cove, January 23. Nearly 100 members
and friends sat down to a sumptuous
repast, which made one forget the high
cost of living for a while. The tables
were decorated with cut flowers and pot
plants. After everyone had taken good
care of the inner man and nearly every-
one present was enjoying his Eobert
Burns, President James McCarthy, with
a few well chosen words, presented to
James MacDonald a small present, as a
token of appreciation of his services as
president during the last year. William
Stewart, of Boston, Mass., was then in-
troduced as toastmaster for the evening.
Toasts were responded to as follows:
For the Nassau County Horticultural
Society, John F. Johnson; New York
Florists' Club, A. Guttman; the seed
trade, William Sperling; the nursery
trade, W. E. Maynard. A telegram of
good wishes from M. C. Ebel, of Madi-
son, N. J., was read and best wishes also
were received from the Massachusetts
Horticultural Society and the Horticul-
tural Society of Boston. Many of the
important nursery and seed houses in
the country were represented by mem-
bers or by salesmen. Among those who
helped to relieve the monotony of
speech-making by singing were: Messrs.
Ferguson, Twigg, Wilson, Jones, Collins
and French.
At the conclusion of the most success-
ful dinner in the society's history every-
body crossed hands and sang "Should
auld acquaintance be forgot t"

it had on the buildings. There was not the slightest shake or tremble in any part of the building. The same storm blew down telephone

We are more than pleased with the houses. ' Yours truly, W. S. LOHR, Ottawa, 111.

The Market.
Although January business was a lit-
tle slow,- the month 's totals would show
that it was fairly good for a first month
of the year. Stock, however, has been
scarce from the beginning, and there is
no relief in sight. There has been a
good demand for roses, but roses have
been scarce. Carnations are a little
more plentiful, due to the fact that we
have had some sunshine lately. Spring
flowers are arriving in larger quantities
every day, especially jonquils, which
realize good sales. Tulips, freesias,
snapdragons, mignonette, hyacinths and
sweet peas add to the assortment and
are essential to basket combinations
and table decorations. Orchids, violets,
gardenias and valley are plentiful and
have a good demand. The present sup-
ply of greens is sufficient for all de-
mands.
Various Notes.
If no misfortune befalls the azalea
plants of Frank Baum, he will have a
fine batch for Easter sales.
Among the unusual things at the store
of "W. J. Palmer & Son last week was
a floral replica of a locomotive. The
"engfine" was about two and one-half
feet in height and about four feet in
length. It was made principally of
white carnations. The base consisted
of pink roses and white carnations.
The noted evangelist, "Billy" Sun-
day, arrived in Buffalo January 27. He
opened his campaign Sunday, January
28, and will remain here eight weeks.
The florists' business to a certain extent
will be benefited by the augmented de-
mand for flowers on the part of the
crowds that flock to the evangelist's
meetings.
Prof. D. Lumsden, of Cornell Univer-

Saves Labor in Handling
Small Aster Plants
Following Is an extract from a letter
received from J. G. Botkin, of Urbana,
Ohio:
"One of our great savings in labor
with Skinner Irrigation has been in
handling the small aster plants. This
plant is very susceptible to heat and
drought. Formerly we potted off all
the small plants in 2-inch stand of
plants when planting out, even in
hot weather. Now we take good
seedling plants and by using the ir-
rigation right after the planting, we
can get a much better stand at great-
ly reduced cost."

For COMMERCIAL
GREENHOUSES
This Metropolitan semi-iron commer
cial greenhouse. 18 x 200 feet, was
erected for the Springfield Floral Co.
of Springfield, N. .1.
Note the neat general appearance of ibis
greenhouse, particularly of the walls.
This is made possible by the Metropolitan
patented cast iron eave, which, besides
being ice-clearing, also has a combination
drip conductor feature which carries off
all waters of condensation from the iv^'i^^
of the roof. Notice, too, that no v ooJ
headers are necessary with this eave.

BASSETT & WASHBURN KING CARNATION HOUSE
Bassett & Washburn are among the largest and
most successful Rose and Carnation growers in
America — read what they say of their King houses :
BASSETT & WASHBURN
Wholesale Cut Flowers
Gentlemen :
Chicago, Nov. 1, 1916.
Regarding the three 500x:^>4 ft. all iron frame houses you furnished us
three years ago, would say we are very much pleased with them, as they have
stood all kinds of storms and weather without the slightest deterioration that
we can find. We have not seen any better type of houses than these, and cer-
tainly the stock we are growing in these houses is the best in this market.
Respectfully yours,
(Signed) BASSETT & WASHBURN.
We will be very glad to furnish you a "King" with which you will be pleased. Write for bulletin.

SAN FEANCISOO NOTES.
[Continued from page 89.]
recently on his way home from the
Orient.
Mr. Eowe, well known landscape gar-
dener of Santa Barbara, Cal., was a
recent visitor.
S. Murata & Co., of Los Angeles,
have sent in large inquiries for roses to
the San Francisco market.
Domoto Bros, have a nice cut of For-
mosa lilies and report a strong demand;
also plenty of business in pot stock,
cyclamens, cinerarias, azaleas, etc.
C. Kooyman has changed the arrange-
ment of his new store, so that his stock
shows to much better advantage. The
window extends back several feet on
one side of the store and he has made
provision to show flowers on that side
and supplies on the other.
Senator Eigdon, of San Luis Obispo,
has introduced a bill in the legislature,
which seeks to establish the office of
seed commissioner under the jurisdic-
tion of the State Horticultural Commis-
sioner at a salary of $2,400 a year. It
•would be the duty of the new officer to
establish a standard of purity of seeds
for agricultural purposes.
Alfred T. Christenson, Berkeley gar-
dener, died at the Cottage hospital in
San Rafael, January 22, from injuries
sustained the night before in Mill Val-
ley, when an interurban train severed
both of his legs at the knees.
Manager Picetti, of the flower and
plant stand in the Emporium, which is
operated by C. Navlet & Co., of San
Jose, says his force is rushed, as every-
body seems to be starting to plant roses
and general nursery stock.
The Misses Hannon report business
good at their store on Sutter street and
stock better than it was a week ago.
In speaking of his experiences with
street competition, a florist whose shop
IS in a locality particularlv favorable
to Street vending remarked that fre-
quently women buy flowers from the
stands at the corner and then bring
them in to him to make over and add a
few first-class blooms or some fresh
foliage. Sometimes they go farther than
that, too. They buy violets from the
street men and come into his place for
a pin to pin them on with.
Mr. Stappenbeck, the American Flo-
rist, on Polk street, says he has had
plenty of first-class roses all season for
his own use. Wild buttercups have been
shown at this store since before Christ-
mas. Some wild irises have been re-
ceived also.
As the result of a recent visit to San
Francisco from New York officials of
the American Express Co., local flower
shippers are hopeful of getting a lower
rate on all eastern shipments of Cali-
fornia flowers, greens, etc. This, it is
claimed, would have considerable influ-
ence in making toward a wider distribu-
tion of flowers from this state

Beauty and Killarney Brilliant roses,
grown "hy W. Frank' & Son, won the
Indiana silver rose trophy awarded at
the recent Indianapolis meeting and

ried off the prize for three consecutive

THIS illustration shows
you how the column

together.
Note that word bolted.
We do not trust to set
screws or clamps to hold.
Everything is bolted fast,
even to the column cap being
bolted through and through
the pipe.
Now notice how all the
members carry either double
bolts or double pairs of bolts.
Particularly notice that
the truss is a double angle

iron, bolted to and on both
sidesof the rafter splice plate.
Observe in what a mechan-
ically perfect way the splice
plate is used as a joiner for
all the members brought to-
gether at this point.
Following then, as we do,
this same mechanical thor-
oughness in the entire con-
struction, you can well under-
stand why our houses have
the reputation tHey have.
You know we go anywhere

YouVe been looking for
You can't trade dollars with us
every day, but we're willing to let
you do it for a few days just to
make you acquainted with two
things you'll learn to swear by —
— American Snow White Paint and
— American Simon Pure Putty
"Pigs is pigs" all right, but paint isn't paint.
There's a difference. Paint for greenhouse
purposes must stand a test that would make or-
dinarily good paint look like whitewash. Try any
of it out on a piece of cypress — just like paint-
ing a sponge with water colors, you say ? Surely.
Then try American Snow White. Ifs its own
advocate — it needs no defense.
$5000.00 worth of American Snow White Paint
has been set aside by us to be sold AT COST—
$2.10 a gallon, ^vith an additional discount of
5'( for cash with order. This is your chance.
You'll need American Simon Pure Putty in replacing
your broken lights. Now don't buy this putty if you
can buy the same quality cheaper— we can't.
100-lb. tin, $3.35 50-lb. tin, $1.75 25-lb. tin, 90c
The best recommendation we can give to American Snow
White Paint and American Simon Pure Putty is the fact
that they are used on the AGMCO Supergrreenhouse—
— the highest-priced and the cheapest greenhouse.
Where do you want your order delivered ?

Gentlemen: The three large houses you put up
this year for us are now completed and planted with
roses and carnat ons, and we wish to compliment you
on your new style of steel construction.
We consider that the use of channel iron in the
construction of greenhouses is tiie best idea ever put
into use in greenhouse building, as it gives more
strength to the house for the amount of shade than
any other type we know of.
This last addition to our plant gives us now about
800,000 feet of glass, all of which is of your construc-
tion, and the new houses are so much superior to the
old that there is no comparison between them, although
the old houses are very Hue houses.
Your new all-steel house is a marvel of strength,
lightness and beauty, and not nearly as expensive as
we thought it would be ; and we would like to have the
privilege of recommending it to other growers who
want to build good greenhouses, and would be glad to
show our new houses to anyone as an example of fine
greenhouse construction.
We wish to thank you also lor the prompt attention
you gave to the few kicks we made on questions of
immaterial imi)ortance, and hope to have the pleasure
of doing more business with you. Respectfully youis,
(Signed) Miller Floral Co..

Catholic Cemetery Greenhouse
At Fort Wayne, Indiana
THE day of cheap wooden
houses is past with cem-
eteries—past, just as it is
wiih everything else, if pen-
cils are sharpened and some
real figuring done.
You know how those old
houses used to be put away
oflf out of sight. And no
wonder— they certainly were
not anything to look at.
But now, with the attrac-
tive houses we are building,
they become part of the orna-
mental landscape scheme.
Often they are the very cen-
ter of it.
This one at Fort Wayne is
next the superintendent's
residence, right along the
main driveway, before the
burial plots are reached . 1 1 is
built with our Construction
of Everlasting Lastingness.
That greenhouse problem of
yours -let's talk it over to-
gether. Say when and wliere
and we'll be there.
That is SiiiXTlntcndeiit Tims, liiitli'
entrance door-s jrlve ample room to
r's house at tlie left. Double
brInK In ornamental tub plant**.
At the l>a«eof the curved cave is an antfie iron, to wiiich the side sash ai'c hinged.
At tlie loft, midway up this ilrive. the cieenhouse is located.

New Chrysanthemums
" LOUISA POCKETT "
is the name of the new Chrysanthemum that is announced by its raiser, Mr. Pockett,
as being the superior in every way of Wm. Turner, of which it is a seedling. Since he
raised both varieties, we may safely take his word for it. Louisa Pockett is larger than
Turner; a better shape and as strong a grower as Marigold. We have 3000 plants
ready for immediate delivery from 23^-in. pots, which if set out in the benches now will
make ideal stock plants to propagate from. You must eventually have this variety —
why not buy it now?
Also: Nag-ir-roc, W. H. Waite, Bol d'Or and President Everitt, our other Nov-
elties for delivery at this time.
Trade Prices: $1.60 plant; $16.00 dozen; $100.00 hundred.

I DORNER'S NOVELTIES for 1917 |
I NEW CARNATIONS |
= ROSALIA — Cerise pink, large three and one-half inch flower of a true cerise pink color. Form is per- =
E feet. Calyx strong, never bursting. Stem is at all times strong and wiry. The growth is far =
B above the average when we consider vigor, health and early and free flowering qualities. S
5 ROSALIA is a decided improvement on ROSETTE, having a better color and a better commercial E
E habit. E
E OLD GOLD — We offer this as the earliest and most free flowering yellow carnation we have yet liro- E
E duced. A decided improvement over YELLOW PRINCE, being of a stronger growth, is perfectly S
2 clean and healthy, produces larger stems and more bloom. The color is a deep yellow with faint E
s pink stripes. E
S The above two varieties, Price: $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000 E
I NEW LATE CHRYSANTHEMUM
S FALL BEAUTY — A large Japanese reflex of a pleasing pink color with a shading of deep cream to =
E the base of the petals and center of the flower. Has an extra strong stem, is especially fine for E
S Thanksgiving, maturing November 25th to December 10th. The color, combined with its being so E
5 late and its extra keeping qualities, makes it of especial commercial value. E

NOVELTY ROSES
PRIMEROSE — ROSALIE ( Baby Chatenay )
PRIMEROSE is very beautiful — a good healthy grower and free in produc-
tion. Similar to Sunburst in color, except that it is a more vivid yellow, blended
with coral pink. Large full buds, dark green large foliage and stiff stems. To
the store man wanting something new in type and coloriog, it will be a good
attraction that will sell at fancy price.
ROSALIE, or Baby Chatenay, is a httle charmer. Very long pointed buds,
with stiff neck and full good foliage, very similar to its parent, the old Chatenay.
A clear silver pink that is ideal for corsage work, because of its soft shade that
will blend well with almost any shade of costume. Not as small as Brunner or
the other small roses, but smaller than other standard varieties.
We have booked large orders for both these varieties for some growers that
are considered expert judges of roses, which is best evidence of their worth.

PittBbararh Cut Flower Co., of rittaburgh, Pa., writes: "Your
'Superlora' Magnolia Leaves are the best leaves that we have ever
handled, and we have had no complaint from any of our customers
who bought these leaves from us. We have stored these leaves un-
der all conditions and found that they will not mould; it is a very
satisfactory leaf indeed."
W. Q. Potter Co., succeNHor to the McCallum Co., of Cleveland,
O., states: "Your 'Superlora' Magnolia Leaves are of the highest
obtainable quality and .second to none, such as has never been on
the market before, for tlxey are all of a one uniform size, which is
the main thing in the malting of wreaths. Also your leaves aro
uniform in color, which gives the finished wreath a rich tone qual-
ity, and this gets the results for the florists. Up to now all imi-
tators of your leaves have failed in producing a quality which is
worth mentioning. Every wholesale florist who wants to protect
his trade should sell only your product. We have found that you
have kept up the quality always, and we hope that you will con-
tinue to do so. The florists are wilttng to pay a few cents more per
case on your goods, which are really cheaper in comparison with
any other brands which are flooding the markets from time to
time."
Jos. G. Neidinsrer Co., of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "We have
tried all the Magnolia Leaves that are offered, but find your leaves
to be far superior to all others, etc., etc."
The Barteldes Seed Store, of -Denver, Colo., writes: "In regard
to the quality of the 'Superlora' brand of Magnolia Leaves, we
take pleasure in advising that we have found all of these leaves
which we received from you to be of an even size and medium
length. Both the size and the length being extremely uniform.
They have also reached us in pliable condition, and altogether
we have been quite well satisfied with them."
The Kervan Co., of New York City, writes: "We have handled
your Magnolia leaves for several years and we take pleasure in
announcing that our already long list of satisfied customers con-
tinues to grow. Since we have handled your leaves we have never
had a complaint, but before that there was dissatisfaction."
The Montreal Floral Exchansre, Montreal, Canada, writes: "Our
business has increased with you this year over double of what we
purchased last season, which is a good recommendation in Itself that
the trade in Canada appreciates the durability and keeping qualities
of your leaf. We appreciate the integrity, promptness and good
business methods that have characterized all your dealings with us."
Michigan Cat Flower Fxchange, Detroit, Mich., says: "We have
been handling your 'Superlora' Magnolia Leaves for the past six
years and And in all this time that we have had no complaints but
many compliments on these goods., etc., etc."
Jos. B. Koppelman, of Providence, B. I., writes: "We feel that
we can sell your leaves to people who have used them once without
any trouble. They rather pay the difference than to buy other
leaves elsewhere, etc., etc."
McAlpine & McDonald, of Boston, Mass., write: "In answer
to your letter of January 5th, requesting our endorsenment on
'Superlora' Magnolia Leaves, would say that you might put us
down as saying that we have found them a most satisfactory leaf
in every respect, our trade being well pleased with them. We also
wish to say that our business dealings with the Dr. H. Dux Co.
have been the finest ever."
New England FloHst Supply Co., of Boston, Blass., writes: "Have
found 'Superlora' Magnolias the best leaves on the market. The
sales on this leaf have been growing with the same rapidity as our
business."
Wm. F. Kaatinr Co., of Buffalo, N. Y., writes: "Have always
found that the 'Superlora' brand gives our customers entire satisfac-
tion; in fact, they are the best leaves we have been able to obtain
in the last few years."
Russin & Hanfling, of New Vorit City, write: "In response to
your letter of recent date, it gives us great pleasure to state tliat
we have been very much satisfied with the quality of your 'Supe-
rlora' brand Magnolia Leaves. We have tried the Magnolias of
several other manufacturers, but in consequence we find your
leaves to be pre-eminent to all others placed upon the market,
particularly with the view that your leaves are all of one uniform
color, as well as being pliable and non-moulding."
Henry M. Robinson & Co., of Boston, Mass., write: "We are
pleased to state that the quality of your leaves is certainly the best
ever manufactured In this country, and it Is a pleasure to offer such
stock for sale, etc."
Reed & Keller, of New York City, say: ". . . and we beg
leave to acknowledge receipt of your last shipment of Magnolias,
and we are Indeed pleased to say that they are superior in every
way. We further state that our experience In leaves from other
dealers has been very unsatisfactory; colors vary and leaves mould

AFTERMATH OF THE
CARNATION MEETING
By unanimous consent, last week's meeting and exhibition of the
American Carnation Society is put on record as one of the most suc-
cessful in the history of the organization, interest, attendance and quality
all being higher than in recent years. A mark set for Boston to emulate
mmm
N many respects the Indian-
apolis meeting of the
American Carnation So-
ciety, held last week, was
the best in years, but the
finest feature of it, prob-
ably, was the fact that so
many different people par-
ticipated. Anyone reading
the list of prize-winners
in last week 's issue of The Eeview could
not fail to note the unusual number of
growers awarded premiums — there was
no walk-away. No matter how fine it is
for the individual to sweep the decks,
it adds perceptibly to the general inter-
est when the premiums are well divided.
Facetiously, this was called the home
meeting of the Indiana Carnation So-
ciety — vice-president, secretary and
treasurer were Hoosiers, and the presi-
dent came from a contiguous state. Per-
haps it had its effect in bringing out the
local growers, but at any rate more of
them exhibited than usual and most of
them feel well repaid for it by the prizes
they took.
The Meetings.
In the meetings,
also, the general
participation was a
distinct stimulus to
the interest. The
elimination of long
essays and the sub-
stitution of extem-
poraneous discus-
cuss i o n bro^ight
many members to
their feet with a
few words on one
I'oiiit or another
and made the ses-
sions bright and
snappy.
While it was vot-
ed to hold the next
annual meeting at
the usual date in
1918, at Boston, it
was decided to ac-
cept an invitation
of the Society of
American Florists
to participate in the
National Flower
Sliow at St. Louis in
the spring of that
year, the S. A. F.
placing $1,000 in
premium monov at
the disposal of the
society. The result,

therefore, will be that the east and the
west both will have a chance next year
to work up a carnation show as interest-
ing as the Indiana one was.
The announced discussion of the
"yellows" disease of carnations was
led by Prof. Lempke, of the florists' ex-
periment station at the University of
Illinois. Eichard Witterstaetter told of
his experience with the variety Mrs.
Valentine, having nearly lost the stock
at one time by this disease. He found
that the best way to grow the jdants
Table Decoration of Carnation Cottage Maid Arranged by the Hill Floral Co.
was in pots during the summer. Charles
S. Strout stated that he experienced
most trouble with Pink Delight. A. F. J.
Baur described an experiment in which
he took a dozen plants of each of sev-
eral varieties, heavily feeding the eleven
but leaving the other in the natural soil
of early fall. In each case the eleven
became diseased and the one plant con-
tinued healthy, convincing him to a cer-
tain extent that improper nutrition has
a great deal to do with the yellows.
After feeding some of these diseased
plants one kind of food and others a
different kind, some became better and
others worse, which has partially proven
to him that the proper nourishment will
overcome this disease.
The Market.
Nothing that has come up at a trade
convention in recent years has been of
greater interest to those concerned than
was the discussion of the demand for
carnations and the methods by which
they are marketed. It has been assert-
ed many times of late that the de-
mand for carnations
is decreasing, but
there have been
emphatic denials
that this is the case.
W. A. Clarke, of the
Pittsburgh Cut
Flower Co., started
the ball rolling. He
believes the demand
is less vigorous than
it was and he places
the responsibility
for it on the grow-
ers. He thinks the
carnation of today
does not have the
keeping qualities of
those of some years
ago and that they
have lost a great
percentage of their
fragrance. He also
})lamed the growers
for rough handling
and careless pack-
ing, causing the
flowers to be in bad
condition when they
reach the market.
David Ward disa-
greed, saying he be-
lieves most of the
rough handling is
done by the commis-
sion merchant. He
also stated that the

fancy stock grown at his establishment
is not put up in bunches, as is the jjoorer
grade, and that it was a bad method
with good stock.
A. Easraussen stated his opinion that
cheap sales do the greatest damage,
along with the small grower who tries
to produce quantity, not quality, and
sells the product at retail at a lower
figure than good stock is worth at whole-
sale. He admitted, however, that lo-
cality makes a difference, such condi-
tions perhaps not being met with every-
where.
Fred E. Dorner's views were that a
better and closer selection of new va-
rieties should be made and that pack-
ing and grading constitute a big item.
Charles S. Strout differed with Mr.
Clarke, saying that the demand in his
locality is growing rapidly and that the
prices are good. He believes that the
cheap sale conducted on the right plan
is beneficial. He said that he makes
special effort to let the people know
when they are offering a bargain. This
stock, which is the best on the place, is
sold at 25 cents per dozen for one day
only. It is not boxed or delivered and
is sold strictly on a cash basis. The
following day the price is back to 75
cents or $1, whatever the case may be.
He believes that this method has in-
creased the popularity of the carnation
in his locality. At other times, when
surplus stock is on hand, two hospitals
and an old ladies' home have furnished
an excellent outlet and the gifts were
gratefully received.
A. F. J. Baur said he spoke merely
from observation, as he sells his crop
directly to the stores instead of through
an agent and the largest part of the con-
sumption is local. His belief is that
most of the abuse of flowers happens in
the retail establishments, through not
giving this flower the proper care, as is
given the rose.
R. B. Hayes seemed to think that car-
nations are marketed too soon after pick-
ing, saying that they should remain in
water from eighteen to twenty hours in
order to be well water-soaked. He stated
that he has had good results by leaving
them in water two or three days, while
he has suffered from marketing freshly
cut stock.
J. F. Ammann was of the opinion that
it is a case of every man to his place —
a good man for growing and a good man
for grading, not a boy, but a man pro-
ficient in his line. If this course were
pursued, stock would reach the market
in much better condition.
A. J. Guttma'n vehemently declared
that the demand for good carnations is
growing in his locality. He feels that
ignorance on the part of the venders
causes careless handling. He feels con-
fident that in the near future a closer co-
operation between grower and retailer
will be effected, which will be of benefit
to both.
J. W. Rodgers also was of the opinion
that grading is an important factor
and that the setting of the prices should
be left to the grower, the commission
merchant and retailer governing them-
selves accordingly. C. Hagenburger
agreed perfectly with this idea.
W. J. Vesey, Jr., seemed to think
some wholesale customers are chronic
complainers, that kind being in the mi-
nority, however. He said-he has adopted
a system of postcards, which he places
with every invoice sheet sent out, ask-
ing for a report on the condition in
which the stock arrived. The consignee
is asked merely to write one word, yes
or no, with his name, and to mail the
card. These are put on file and at the
end of the year are looked over to find
who are the satisfied customers and who
are not. He found this experiment so
successful that he has installed it in all
of his departments.
George Gause insisted that harmony
is what is needed — harmony between
growers, commission men and retailers.
If this were accomplished a better mar-
ket would follow. W. W. Coles believed
that supply and demand should regulate
the price.
The discussion closed as the judges
returned with the premium for the best
keeping vase of carnations, which was
awarded to Hartje & Elder, of Indian-
apolis. This firm broke the record, tak-
ing three firsts on only two entries, one
of fifty White Enchantress and on^ of
fifty Washington.
A discussion arose as to who is re-
sponsible for goods shipped, the shipper
or the consignee. This subject being a
large one, it was barely touched upon,
and, seeing that no satisfactory conclu-
sion was in sight, adjournment was
asked for and agreed upon.
Routine Affairs.
The committee appointed to pass on
the reports of officers was as follows:
S. J. Goddard, Framingham, Mass.; C.
W. Johnson, Morgan Park, lU.; John
H. Dunlop, Toronto, Ont.
In the matter of the preliminary com-
petition for the Dorner Memorial medal
a recommendation was made to reduce
the number of blooms required, but the
decision was that the number remain
fifty, instead of being reduced to twen-
ty-five.
The secretary was authorized to con-
tinue the identification badge. Prof.
Dorner moved that the names in these
badges be typewritten rather than by
hand, which was approved.
A committee of three on final resolu-
tions was appointed: J. W. Eodgers, of

the report to be heard at the close of
the banquet.
The question of the similarity of the
old variety. Beacon, and a variety dis-
tributed to a limited extent in the east
last season under the name of Red Wing,
was brought up. Although several as-
serted that the two varieties are prac-
tically identical, an equal number de-
clared that as far as color and form
of bloom are concerned they are similar,
but that Red Wing is a more robust
grower, growing taller, having a
stronger calax and not splitting so
badly. The matter was referred to a
committee which will be appointed by
the incoming president, as the society
stands to discountenance the renaming
of old varieties or the introduction of
too-much-alike varieties under different
names.
A. J. Guttman asked to have the new
variety^ Olive Whitman, rejudged for

the certificate of merit. This was grant-
ed, with the result of a score of eighty-
two points.
The Banquet.
As the banquet was given iu the Kiley
room, where the show was held, the ex-
hibition flowers were used as decora-
tions, making an elaborate display.
During the evening the entertainment
included an orchestra and cabaret danc-
ing. The special feature of the evening
was a chariot of carnations and sweet
peas drawn by two little girls, in which
was seated the maid of honor represent-
ing the American Carnation Society.
Attending her and seated at her feet
■was a smaller maid, representing the In-
diana State Florists' Association. E.
G. Hill, acting as toastmaster, intro-
duced in his humorous way the follow-
ing: Irwin Bertermann, to speak for the
Indiana State Florists' Association; J.
y. Ammann, to speak for the American
Carnation Society; Hon. Chas. W. Book-
waiter, to speak for the city; David
Ward, to speak for the carnation; John
H. Dunlop, to speak for Canada; David
Geddis, to speak for the St. Louis spring
show; A. F. J. Baur, to speak as secre-
tary; Wm. J. Vesey, Jr., the president-
<^lect; August Poehlmann, as an inter-
ested visitor; Albert Pochelon, to speak
for the F. T. D., and Wm. Nicholson, as
representative of the old guard. Wm.
F. Gude telegraphed his regrets.
W. J. Vesey, Jr., as retiring president
of the Indiana State Florists' Associa-
tion and incoming president of the
American Carnation Society, thanked
his committees in general, especially
commending the efforts of John Berter-
mann, Henry W. Eieman, Homer L,
Wiegand, Fred H. Lemon, O. E. Stein-
kamp, Joseph H. Hill and Clarence
Thomas. Following this, the report on
final resolutions was read and the enter-
tainment was closed by a verse from
James Whitcomb Riley's "Old Sweet-
heart of Mine," in honor of the ladies.
Excursions.
While the men were attending the
final session during the morning of the
closing day, the ladies were shown the
interesting sights of the city. In the
afternoon the ladies and gentlemen
joined in an auto trip that was filled
with excitement. Just as the party was
leaving, a fire broke out in the base-
ment of the hotel and the fire depart-
ment gave an exhibition run. Later, on
the return trip, the driver of one of the
machines was arrested for speeding and
the occupants of the car walked the re-
mainder of the way to the Maennerchor,
where a buffet luncheon was served.
The party journeyed to the Baur &
Steinkamp establishment, where there
were several features of interest, the
most noteworthy being a beautiful bed
of Merrj' Christmas carnation, a bed of
seedlings that provoked great admira-
tion and a new propagating house in
which were 90,000 cuttings.
An interesting trip via the boulevards
ended at Bertermann 's Cumberland
range. Although the roses and carna-
tions, which are the chief crops, were
in excellent condition, there were other
interesting sights, including a house of
sweet peas and violets and a house of
delphiniums, centaureas, snapdragons,
winter-flowering giant pansies and mi-
gnonette. E. E. T.
Notes by Another Observer.
A few notes taken during the gather-
ing of the clans at the American Carna-
tion Society's annual meeting at In-
dianapolis, January 31, may be of in-
terest at this time.
S. J. Goddard, of Framingham, Mass.,
stated, while unpacking his prize-win-
ning carnations, that the blooms were
picked January 25, packed January 29
and unpacked January 31 at Indian-
apolis. Although no ice was used, when
the boxes were opened the blooms looked
perfect. This remarkable condition was
noted in practically all other shipments,
and the atmospheric conditions at the
exhibition were highly favorable to the
blooms.
A striking contrast between the way
Carnation Belle Washburn was grown
by two local growers proved that this
variety may be well grown by one
grower and less so by another, even in
the same locality.
That old favorite, Lawson, as seen at
the Bertermann Bros. Co. place, showed
itself as full of vigor and as floriferous
as when it was more largely grown.
Did the sight of this grand actor in-
spire some to question as to whether
varieties of more recent introduction
possess the stamina of their predeces-
sors? The fine beds of Violet Princess
of Wales seen at the Bertermann range
were much admired. J. G. Heinl, of
Terre Haute, Ind., said he was proud
of the fact that he brought the first
plants grown here, from Paris, and
turned tliem over to J. A. Peterson, of
Cincinnati, who grew them even finer
than the I'arisians. "This was in 1871,"
observe<l Mr. Heinl, "and just see how
vigorous is the plant yet."
John H. Dunlop, of Toronto, ably
represented the Dominion and, in com-
menting upon this, the best exhibition
yet, he said that business was remark-
ably good at home, incidentally mention-
ing that the wholesale department for
the month of December showed an in-
crease of twenty-three per cent and
the retail end an advance in proportion.
Albert Herr, of Lancaster, Pa., ob-
served that positively all his fellow
craftsmen would be at Boston next year,

The Florists' Review
Fbbrdaby 8, 1917.
and doubtless would have been present
this time had they the least idea of the
great treat, floricultural and gastronom-
ical, prepared for and enjoyed by those
fortunate enough to be present.
Carl Hagenburger, of Mentor, O.,
showed a few plants of his dwarf sola-
nuin, which were covered with berries.
This variety is sure to find favor.
Van Bochove & Bro., of Kalamazoo,
Mich., sent their grower, A. Westveer,
just to see what was beiiig done by
others. ' ' For, ' ' observed Mr. West-
veer, "this is the grandest object lesson
to the grower who is interested in the
new varieties. The grower notes the
product, quizzes the introducer, and
should — if he is the right sort — learn
enough to more than pay for the expense
incurred on the trip.''
The charming display of sweet peas
staged by Peter Weiland, of Newcastle,
Ind., was the center of attraction. John
Dunlop, in commenting on the lovely
bunch of Rose Queen, incidentally men-
tioned that he is trying out eleven va-
rieties of Yarrawa type and looks for
big results. Discussing the frequent
failure of sweet pea seeds to germinate,
Mr. Dunlop says they usually soak the
seeds for twenty-four hours, and if the
skin is hard crack it. The grower then
invariably obtains almost a full per-
centage of germination, especially so in
whites, the ehyest to seed and the hard-
est to sprout.
John Bertermann remarked that he is
not worrying about foreign valley pips,
as he has been successful in raising his
own stock.
It was a felicitous moment when, dur-
ing the visit to the Hill establishments
at Richmond, a member of the party sug-
gested the name Columbia for a lovely
debutante rose of next year. The sug-
g stion was immediately adopted and
later pledged at the gathering at the
Country Club, coupling it with the name
of its popular owner, E. G. Hill. Red
Rover, a glowing crimson, is to be in-
troduced at the same time; an escort,
as it were. Other beautiful seedlings
were noted, from pure white through
the loveliest tints and shades to deep
crimson, some of perfect form and lack-
ing in fragrance, others the reverse.
The unanimous verdict was that right
here is found much that goes to make
the queen of flowers so justly popular.
Mr. Hill later in a postprandial talk
urged those present to equally interest
themselves in the advancement of the
divine flower, as he was doing with the
rose. W. M.
Continuing the Discussion.
The twenty-sixth annual meeting of
the American Carnation Society, as re-
gards number and quality of exhibits,
undoubtedly was the most successful
ever held. One of the outstanding im-
pressions was that of the prevailing
good fellowship and unity of interest
among members. It would seem that
the business meetings are not attended
by all of the visiting members, as they
should be. Many of the members lose
the best part of these conventions by
not attending the meetings and enter-
ing into the general discussions. While
the social side of our conventions should
not be lost sight of, it would seem im-
portant, if the carnation growers are
desirous of placing the flower back on
the pedestal of popular favor, that they
should not neglect the educational side,
including those opportunities for an ex-
change of ideas that are open to the
members at these meetings.
The discussion on the marketing of
carnations was both vigorous and to the
point and brought out many valuable
ideas. It is quite evident that both the
growers and the wholesalers can in many
instances improve their methods of han-
dling carnations, to the end that they
go into the hands of the buyers in proper
condition. The lack of demand for car-
nations does not seem to be due to any
lack of varieties possessing all the ad-
mirable qualities of size, color, fragrance
and keeping qualities, but is due more to
the smaller margin of profit realized in
the handling than is possible with roses
and, in fact, many other flowers han-
dled by the retailer. Would it not be
well for the retailer to demand only the
l)i'st in quality, when buying, and then
ask a price that will give him a proper
margin of profit f It is a well known
fact that the better grades of carnations
liave sold at a lower price than they
should, when cost of production is taken
into consideration. If the retailer will
put a ban on the poorer grades of car-
nations, at the same time showing a
willingness to pay the grower a fair
price for quality, and insist on stock that
has been properly cut, packed and han-
dled by both grower and wholesaler, he
will soon force both grower and whole-
saler to deliver, carnations that will
bring a price commensurate with the
quality. True, this will force an im-
mense number of carnations into the
hands of the street peddlers at a low
price and would mean practically no re-
turns to the growers of poor stock, but
it would seem that if the carnation is
to retain its proper degree of popularity
with the buying public the large num-
ber of growers of uniformly inferior
stock are due to receive the jolt of find-
ing their stock practically unsalable. I
believe the wholesale men could do a
great deal to aid by notifying their con-
signors immediately on the reception of
poor grade stock that the stock in ques-
tion is practically unsalable, and im-
pressing upon their consignors that ship-
ments of such stock will not pay for
the express and commission for selling.

A CLUB AT COLUMBUS.
Thirteen enthusiastic florists assem-
bled at the Neil House on the evening of
January 29 and formed what will be
known as the Columbus Florists' Club.
After several hours of lively discussion,
it was agreed that the club be conducted
on a business basis, the object of the
organization being to study all phases
of the business, but particularly adver-
tising, selling and growing. At each of
the meetings, which are scheduled to be
held twice a month, a paper prepared by
a member on any subject of interest to
the trade will be read. At different times
arrangements will be made with promi-
nent florists of other cities to address
the club members on florists' problems.
The following were elected officers
for one year: President, Alfred C.
Hottes, professor in floriculture of the
Ohio State University; vice-president,
Walter Stephens, of S. F. Stephens &
Son; secretary, A. Munk, of Munk Flo-
ral Co.; treasurer, Walter Engel, super-
intendent of the Munk Floral Co. range.
The various committees and the work of
the committees will be worked out by
the officers before the next meeting.
Memberships in the club will be lim-
ited to proprietors, managers and ad-
vanced students of floriculture. Any
candidate for membership present at
the next meeting will be admitted.
Thereafter new members will be elect-
ed, as customary. The fee for charter
members will be $1, after which the en-
trance fee will be $5, with 50 cents
monthly dues.

MAY QUARANTINE ALL OUR STOCK
SENATE PASSES BILL GIVING DANGEROUS AUTHORITY
PROPOSED NEW LEOISLATION.
Drastic and Dangerous.
Prior to the passage of the plant quar-
antine law of 1912, agitation was worked
up by lectures, magazine articles, pam-
phlets, etc., with the evident object of
creating an atmosphere favorable to its
passage. The impression was given that
about all of the insect pests and plant
diseases that affect our forests and farm
crops were imported into the United
States by selfish nurserymen and florists
— along with the plants and nursery
stock which they imported from Europe.
This propaganda resulted in the passage
of the plant guarantine act in 1912,
though the agitation continues.
To operate the plant quarantine act,
the Federal Horticultural Board was
created, with headquarters in Washing-
ton, D. C; it consists of five bureau
chiefs of the Department of Agriculture,
with Dr. C. L. Marlatt as chairman.
All of these men are well qualified for
their duties and though the law gives
them almost autocratic powers, power
to quarantine any foreign country or
locality, they have used this power with
commendable discretion and moderation.
But this does not satisfy a group of
state entomologists, who demand noth-
ing less than an absolute quarantine
against the importation of plant life
from all foreign sources.
State Entomologists Get Busy.
At a meeting of entomologists about
a year ago, resolutions were passed
which in effect requested the Federal
Horticultural Board to put this absolute
quarantine into effect, but as no action
was taken, the entomologists interested
the American Forestry Association in
its plans. This association consists
largely of foresters, entomologists, lum-
ber men and others interested in our
forests. JNaturally, such men know lit-
tle about the commercial side of the nur-
sery or florists' business, but when they
were informed — by men who should
l<now better — that an absolute quaran-
tine of all imported plant life was neces-
sary for the protection of our forests
and farm crops, they took up the sub-
ject with enthusiasm and called a spe-
cial conference in "Washington, D. C, to
adopt measures to stop importation, even
of the raw materials.
A One-sided Conference.
The conference was held January 19.
^, as chairman of the legislative com-
mittee of the S. A. F., and J. McHutchi-
son, of New York, a member of my com-
i«ittee, were present on behalf of the
°- A. F. The legislative committee of
the American Association of Nnrsery-
luen was also there, besides several in-
dividual members of the nurserymen's
a.nd florists' organizations. Many
speeches and papers were delivered ad-
vocating an absolute quarantine, but
iio opportunity was given for discus-
sion after each paper; so the 1. /"'^nl-
THE SENATE ACTS.
February 3 the Senate gave the
Secretary of Agriculture unlim-
ited authority to establish abso-
lute quarantine of all horticultural
products by adopting an amend-
ment to the present quarantine
law, making Section 8 read as
follows:
Sec. 8. That the Secretary of Agri-
culture is authorized and directed to
quarantine any state, territory or dis-
trict of the United States, or any portion
thereof, when he shall determine that
such quarantine is necessary to prevent
the spread of a dangrerous plant disease
or insect infestation, new to or not there-
tofore widely prevalent or distributed
within and throughout the United States.
The amendment goes on to pro-
vide that the law shall apply to
any class of nursery stock or any other
class of plants, fruits, vegetables, roots,
hulbs, seeds, or other plant products, or
any class of stone or quarry products,
or any other article of any character what-
soever, capable of carrying any dangerous
Slant disease or insect infestation, speci-
ed in the notice of quarantine.
The secretary is required to
hold a public hearing before pro-
mulgating a quarantine.
The House already had passed
the agricultural appropriation bill.
It now goes to a conference com-
mittee. If the conference agrees
to the quarantine amendment it
no doubt will become the law.
tural side of the question was not voiced.
Resolutions were unanimously adopted
favoring an absolute quarantine, and to
show what it means to the florists and
nurserymen, I quote from the proposed
bill the first two sections, as follows:
Sec. 1. That It shall be unlawful for any
person to import or offer for entry Into the United
States any nursery stock, Provided: That the
Secretary of Agriculture may Import, grow and
propagate nursery stock in small quantities for
experiment-il and scientific purposes, upon such
oonrlitions and under such regulations as he may
advise.
Sec. 2. That for the purpose of this Act the
term "nursery stock" shall Include all field-
grown florists' stock, trees, shrubs, vines, cut-
tings, grafts, scions, buds, bedding plants, all
herbaceous plants, bulbs, roots, and other plants
and plant products for propagation, except field,
vegetable, flower and tree seeds.
Effect of the Bill.
This bill, if passed, will shut out
practically everything the florists now
import, including Azalea Indica, bay
trees and araucarias, valley pips for
forcing or any other purpose, Japanese
lily bulbs, French bulbs, Dutch bulbs,
Manetti stocks used for greenhouse
grafting of roses, orchids and nursery
stock of every kind. It would not only
shut out dracsena plants, but the canes
which are necessary to produce them.
It would shut out kentia plants; also the
seeds necessary to grow our own plants.
"What for?" you ask; the answer is,
"To save our forests." If any member
of the S. A. F. thinks it necessary to
stop the importation of valley pips,
Manetti stocks or Japanese lily bulbs to
protect our forests, I should like to hear
from him.
Arrangements were made in the con-
ference committee so that the measure
would not be introduced in Congress
until committees from the national asso-
ciations of florists and nurserymen had
an opportunity of conferring with a
special committee of the American For-
estry Association appointed for that
purpose. This arrangement shows the
right spirit, and, though the special com-
mittee consists mostly of state inspect-
ors, we hope to be able to show them
that while their plan, if put into opera-
tion, would put back the florists' busi-
ness many years, it would not go far in
protecting our forests or farm crops or
reduce the diseases which afflict them
to any appreciable degree.
A Crisis in Trade Affairs.
The measures that have threatened
our interests for several years have now
reached a crisis. We shall need on our
committee men of ability who are will-
ing to subordinate their personal inter-
ests to the welfare of the trade — men
who understand why stock is imported,
why at least the raw materials are nec-
essary to our welfare — men who know
something about insect pests and plant
diseases and who can adequately express
their views.
Since our policy will likely have to be
defined before our annual convention in
August, the nurserymen 's convention
being held in June, I will seek the ad-
vice of the executive committee of the
S. A. F. on the subject, but as the mat-
ter is such a vital one to many of our
members, I deem it wise to inform the
general trade -through the medium of
The Review and trust the Editor will

serves. Wm. F. Gude,

THRIPS ON CYCLAMENS.
Kindly let me know what ails the en-
closed cyclamen leaf. Can you tell me
the cause and the remedy for this trou-
ble! I had plants in the same condition
last year. P. H. — O.
The leaf forwarded was covered with
thrips. This usually comes from an
dry atmosphere and is accentuated if
the plants, in addition, get too dry at
the roots. A remedy is to keep more
moisture in the atmosphere and spray
the affected plants frequently with a
fine spray nozzle. If you lay the plants
on their sides and use a nicotine or soap
spray and direct it carefully at the
lower sides of the leaves, you will ex-
terminate a large majority of the pests.

Fargo, N. D. — Several blocks of a new
addition to the town have been acquired
by the Smedley Floral Co., which con-
templates the erection of greenhouses
on the property.

This bill, if passed, will shut out
ln-.-ictically everything tlic florists now
import, iiududing Azalea ]n<lica, bay
trees and araiaarias, valley pips for
forcing or any other juirpose, .lapanese
lily liulbs, Freneli bulbs, Dutch bulbs,
Manetti stocks used for greenhouse
grafting of roses, orchids and nursery
stock of every kind. It would not only
sliut out dracipna plants, but the canes
which ar(^ tiecessary to produce them.
it would shut out kenti;i plants; also the
seeds necessary to grow our own jilants.
"What for?" you ask; the answer is,
"To save our forests.'' Tf any member
of the S. A. F. thinks it necessary to
stop the importation of valley pips,
Manetti stocks or .Tapanosc lily bulbs to
protect our forests, T should like to hear
from liini.

that while their plan, if put into opera-

VALENTINE'S DAY
rrs\ir/*>rtr)«tiri«^irrwri«virr«^ir^rrwh«vir^wr>»irr^
GETTINa NEW BUSINESS.
Ideas in Salefonanship.
Bealizing that florists as a class have
given comparatively little thought to
that phase of salesmanship which re-
lates to drawing customers within
voice-range, HUmer V. Swenson has
prepared the following letter on meth-
ods of attracting attention at St.
Valentine's day:
"To create business for St. Valen-
tine's day as much thought should be
given the advertising and sales prob-
lems as is ordinarily given to the selec-
tion of flowers. The new avenue for
sales, which St. Valentine's day has
opened, proves conclusively that you
don't have to rely entirely on the
every-day use of flowers for increased
business.
"Suggestion has made St. Valen-
tine's day what it is for the florist —
and suggestion's most powerful tool
has been advertising. Advertising in
some form or other, whether it has
been by word of mouth, signs in win-
dows, ads in the newspapers, circulars
or what not, is responsible for the
great volume of business done on this
day and no one can dispute it.
An Unlimited Field.
"Other flower days as good as St.
Valentine's day, Mothers' day and
Thanksgiving, ean be eventually cre-
ated by suggestion or, in broader terms,
advertising. But the development still
to be done for St. Valentine's day is
today the most urgent problem, so let
us then consider a few ways and means
to accomplish this.
"It has been proven that older
people make use of flowers as valen-
tines as much as younger people.
Therefore, your chance for appeal is
almost unlimited. We urge, then, that
you direct your advertising to the
older men as much as the younger and
we give, in the following, several sugges-
tions on how to go about it:
"A good way to reach the younger
set is to obtain a list of members of
dancing and social clubs of your city.
In many cases, these clubs feature a
St. Valentine's day affair. Mail each
member a folder about four days be-
fore the date affair is to be given.
Every young man having an engage-
ment for this party will be a most ex-
cellent prospect for a flower valentine
purchase. One of our customers re-
alized 200 orders from 500 names cir-
culated in this manner. Another ex-
cellent way to get a good list of young
men is to obtain a list of all the school,
college or university fraternity mem-
bers. Nine fraternities out of ten give
a St. Valentine's function of some sort.
Aside from that, few fraternity mem-
bers are without a 'girl' and are prod-
igal in bestowing floral gifts on her.
The Older Men.
"Older men will respond to the sug-
gestion, 'Send her a Flower Valentine,'
and this class of business is extremely
satisfactory because of the larger
amount of the purchase. One . of the
best means of reaching the right buy-
ers is to obtain a list of secret society
members. One of our customers ob-
tained a list of all the Shriners in his
city and mailed a folder the day before
St. Valentine's day, so that it reached
these men at their offices on the morn-
ing of St. Valentine's day. He informs
us his telephone was kept busy most of
the day. In soliciting the business man,
bear in mind that the average man is
busy, so don't mail the folder to him
a week before St. Valentine's day and
expect him to remember, no matter how
favorable the appeal to him. You must
catch the busy business man at the
psychological moment.
Stunt Delivery.
"Occasionally a 'stunt' is a good
thing. To those interested enough to
go to a little trouble, we suggest a plan
originated by us for one of our custom-
ers and which proved the talk of the
town in which he was located. He
selected a bright little boy about 8
years old, a nervy little fellow who was
not afraid to carry out his part. He
dressed this boy in a bright red suit,
attached a pair of wings to him, and
over his shoulder hung a bow and ar-
rows— in other words, he reproduced
Cupid. In a heart-shaped bag, this boy
carried a number of St. Valentine's day
folders. He then had the boy call on
every business man in his neighborhood
and instructed him to deliver the folder
to the man personally with the remark,
something like this, 'Mr. (naming the
florist) requested me to deliver this mes-
sage to yOu personally, Mr. Smith.' The
method of delivery of these folders could
not help but make the busiest business
man stop and read the message and the
message was brought most forcibly to
his attention because of the unique way
the florist used to deliver it. This
stunt brought excellent returns in orders
and to this day is talked about in the
community. ' '
CAKPET BEDDING PLANTS.
Are Alyssum Little Gem and Tom
Thumb suitable for bordering a bed of
alternantheras and similar bedding
plants? How far apart should these
plants be set? Do you think the blue
varieties of lobelias will do well in our
Minnesota climate? How far apart
should they be set? How far apart
should plants of dwarf Phlox Drum-
mondii be set? S. J. U. — Minn.
Such alyssums as Tom Thumb and
Little Gem are of erect habit, growing
on the average to a height of six inches
and six inches in diameter. Plant them
five to six inches apart. Blue lobelias,
I am afraid, would only succeed mod-
erately well in Minnesota. Near the sea-
board, where the nights are cool, they
do fairly well. They are close-growing
plants and during spells of hot, moist
and sunless weather rot badly. I would
not consider them as dependable as alys-
sums, although they are beautiful where
they succeed. Dwarf Phlox Drummondii
should be set six inches apart for bed-
ding purposes. C. W.

BOSE aKAFTING.
The Stocks.
The Manetti stocks should be potted
in 2%-inch pots and placed in a temper-
ature of about 45 to 48 degrees. They
should be thoroughly watered and then
sprayed at least twice a day. The
water from the spraying will be suffi-
cient until they begin to show root ac-
tion.
It is not necessary to wait until they
start breaking before using them. As
soon as they show root action the sap
is active enough to start grafting.
Watch the root action. It will pay
to knock out the first ones potted, se-
lect those that are starting and begin
grafting at once, so as to get as many
as possible in during the first part of
February.
"When the Manetti begins to make
growth, especially when it is leafing out,
you will find that you are not striking
as good a percentage of grafts as before.
So much for the care of the Manetti
stocks.
The Grafting Case.
The next most important part of
grafting is the building of the grafting
box or getting it ready. If one has a
box built for the purpose, clean it out
thoroughly and give it a good coat of
whitewash. Be sure that the sashes
are properly fitted, so that the box will
be as near air-tight as possible. The
least draught on fresh cut grafts is
dangerous, especially where the wood is
a little soft. If once they wilt you
may as well throw them away, for they
will not catch.
For the benefit of those who have no
box and intend building one, I will offer
a few suggestions: Often you visit
places where they graft only for their
own use and have a poorly constructed
box on a side bench, where drip from
the gutter or babk wall is causing fun-
gus. With such equipment or without
the proper piping to keep the temper-
ature right, grafting is discouraging
and far from profitable.
The Best Location.
Select a middle bench five and a half
or six feet \tide and fit sashes to both
sides. Place a ridge of 2x4 through
the center of the bench. Make it high
enough so that the sashes will have the
proper pitch to drain the moisture that
accumulates inside when the box has
been watered down and closed. Hinge
the sashes to the ridge, which wfll save
a lot of trouble in raising and lowering,
when it comes time to ventilate.
Use an 8-inch sideboard, so that the
plants will have plenty of room after
about five inches of sifted ashes are
put in to stand the grafts on. Ashes
are a great deal better than sand, as
one is less liable to get fungus in the
box. Put a tight partition across the
box for every three sashes, so that the
plants can be ventilated in sections as
they grow. It generally takes ten days
before the grafts are caught well
enough to stand ventilating. Give them
only a little air to start with, increas-
ing each day as they harden up.
Selecting the Wood.
When selecting the grafting wood be
careful not to get wood that is too
hard. If the thorns are beginning to
turn black the wood is by all means too
hard. Care must also be taken in re-
gard to wood that is too soft. Wood
that can be easily crushed by placing
it between thumb and forefinger is too
soft. Any wood infested with red spi-
der or from sickly, overwatered stock is
always sure to be a failure.
Do not take off any large quantity
of wood at one time, the object being
to prevent it from drying out. It is
important to keep it wet from the time
it is cut off until it is grafted and
placed in the case.
In making the cuts on the Manetti
and on the scion be sure they are per-
fectly clean; the slightest speck of dirt
on either cut when it is tied will cause
trouble. Often they catch and start
growing (I have seen them make fine
4-inch stock) before they show black
spots on the graft and become loose on
one side, eventually dying. It is safe
to say that ninety-eight per cent of all
grafts acting in this manner do so be-
cause of carelessness in getting dirt
between the cuts, or from the use of a
dull knife that ruffled the pith of the
wood.
A Close Union.
When tying the grafts care should
be taken not to move the wood out of
place, especially where the Manetti
stock is heavier than the scion. The
bark of the two must be a perfect fit
on one side. The same applies to side
grafts or those inserted on two-eyed
grafts; the wood should be cut on both
sides.
Either rafiKa or string can be used
for tying. I prefer common white
string; it is quicker to work and does
not hold water around the cut so much
as raffia, although either can be used
with good results.
Little water should be used on the
grafts the first ten days they are in the
case. If the Manetti is thoroughly
soaked when grafting, a light spraying
daily with a rubber cut flower sprayer
is sufficient, providing the cinders in
the bottom of the case have been well
soaked before the pots are placed on it.
When the grafts are ready to take
out of the box and be placed on the
bench they should be shaded a little on
bright days, as the growth is soft. It
generally takes six to ten days before
they can stand the full rays of the sun.

Atlanta, Ga. — Wachendorf Bros, say
they are having "considerable trouble
with a fungus which originates in the
wood of the floor of our greenhouse
benches. This fungus spreads through
the ashes, then makes its way through
the drain holes in the pots to the soil,
where it spreads until the soil has the
appearance of a ball of frost, resulting
in the loss of every plant. Our benches
are repaired every summer, allowed to
dry out thoroughly, all decayed wood re-
moved and then whitewashed with hot
lime.'' If some of the readers of The

will suggest a remedy this paper will

CUBE FOR PRIMULA POISONING.
Under "Open Letters from Readers"
there recently appeared several articles
in which the writers suggested remedies
for primula poisoning of the hands and
face. Two of my family, as well as
myself and an employee, ar^- subject
to this form of poisoning, but we have
a simple remedy that never fails to
stamp out the irritation whenever it
appears. Instantaneous relief is found
by applying to the affected parts a mix-
ture consisting of equal parts of lime
water and olive oil. The one afflicted
does not have to wait even two or three
days for results. The irritation is
checked at once and in a day or two the
effects of the poisoning have disap-
peared. Fred C. Morris.
TOMATOES UNDER GLASS.
Here is a new one and a good one for
your subscriber, T. E. H. — Can., who
asks for the best method of poUenizing
tomatoes. Providing his houses have
electric wiring, as have most of those
recently, erected, let him take a portable
electric fan with a long feed wire; with
one of the boys to jar the plants and
shake the pollen loose, let him move the
fan about in the house, directing the
breeze over the plants, first from one
angle and then from another. The gen-
tle breeze created by the fan will dis-
tribute the pollen thoroughly through-
out the house. The work should be done
on a bright day, when the air in the
house is as dry as possible.
Wo recently published a small adver-
tisement of tomato seed in The Review
and received so many inquiries that we
are inclined to think a nice business
might be built up on greenhouse-grown
tomato seeds. So far as we know, no one
in this country is growing tomato seeds
under glass. The seedsmen here supply
only outdoor-grown seeds, but the Eng-
lish seedsmen recognize the importance
of supplying indoor-grown seed, grown
and ripened under the artificial condi-
tions required of the plants in the future
crop. Winter crops of tomatoes in Eng-
land yield ten to twelve pounds to the
plant, while in this country the winter
does not average over two to four
pounds to the plant. By judicious seed
selection from disease-resistant, prolific
plants grown in the greenhouse, we
think we can obtain just as large a crop
as the growers do in England.

WHEN FORMOSA BULBS FAIL.
I force only a few Easter lilies, but
enough of them to know that the lily
grower has his troubles and sorrows.
During the last two years I have visited
growers who make Easter lilies a fea-
ture, and, to a man, each of them com-
plained, and vigorously, too. When one
sees 100 lilies in the hands of a com-
petent grower, lilies that were all potted
the same day, with some of them com-
plete failures, others with twisted foli-
age and those that look fairly well
ranging in height from two to eighteen
inches, one knows at once that there
is something vitally wrong with the
\ I t r r I I ) t>
At lit lt>
• *!>•■■ "^••^'~ •- ■
bulbs. My observations lead me to
place the entire blame on the bulb grow-
ers in Japan, or Formosa; not in ship-
ping diseased biilbs, but in harvesting
the builds .before they are mature, in
order to beat the other fellows to the
market. The Japanese in a way at-
tempt to put blinds over our eyes by
packing the bulbs in soil, so that the
bulbs may ripen en route. The real
trouble is not here, as this method
brings the bulbs to us in a fresh and
plump condition. The actual injury is
done when the growers, in their anx-
iety to reach our market early, cut
off the tops too soon and thereby rob
the bulbs of Nature's finishing touch,
which is so essential to perfect matur-
ity.
It is well known that Nature's last
effort, in all such cases, is her greatest.
At the last moment, so to speak, she
draws on the reserve forces in stems
and leaves, and finishes her work. This
is easily evident to any onion grower.
He can easily see the superficial effect
on the bulbs at the last stages of
ripening. Of how much greater im-
portance must be the effect on the
vitals of the bulbs! If we harvest lily
bulbs before Nature says "Ready," we
are certain to suffer.
The bulbs may appear all right, ' ' ripe
and solid," but if they have been
robbed of Nature's cream by the un-
scrupulous or ignorant grower, then
we, at this end of the line, are certain
to suffer. I maintain that a few days
are of such vital importance that a
grower, having an acre or two to
harvest, may begin to harvest too soon,
but the latter half of his crop will be
perfectly matured before he reaches it.
Nature puts her "Ready" sign on every
bulb in the dead stem. Every grower
knows full well when they should be
dug. Our importers are to blame if
they hurry orders. I predict that in
the near future the slogan of the lily
bulb dealer will be "Perfectly matured
bulbs," and the pot grower will know
what to expect in his crop and will
hold the importer strictly to account.
We Americans count too much on
days, and too little on the ills our hurry
may bring. The lily business is run on
a too high speed. We must * ' shift into
second" if we would attain that maxi-
mum success which Nature intends and
for which we all work.

THE NEBRASKANS.
I would like to make a statement in
regard to the report in The Review in
the issue of January 25, about the
"Nebraskans' Meeting." The Ne-
braska Florists' Society up to the last
session did not have an independent or-
ganization, but held its annual meeting
in conjunction with the Nebraska State
Horticulturists' Society; also the flower
show was staged under that society,
which also paid the premiums offered,
as was the case this year.

VINE FOR SUN PORCH.
I enclose a rough diagram of my sun
porch. This porch is heated in winter by
hot water and is enclosed with double
windows. The temperature probably
never falls below 50 degrees at night
and rises to 70 and 80 degrees during the
day. The north wall, of course, is the
side of the house, and the chimney from /
the furnace runs up through it. The wall,/

is of rough cement. An abundance of
daylight gets through the windows, but
probably little direct sunlight falls on
the wall itself.
I am desirous of growing some kind of
vine on this wall, flowering preferred,
of an evergreen nature, either clinging
or one that needs support. Your sug-
gestion as to the best vine for this pur-
pose would be appreciated.
G. M.— la.
There could be no better plant for
your purpose than Ficus repens, which
grows rapidly and clings closely to
stone, brick or wood. This vine would
soon cover the entire wall, if given
proper care. I cannot recommend any
evergreen flowering plant that would
thrive under such conditions as you
describe. The ficus can be planted in
boxes seven inches deep, eight inches
wide and of any given length, or in a
bed, if such could be provided.

FLOWER SHOW PUBLICITY.
In the publicity work for the New
York spring flower show a lithographed
design is being used in many ways, as
a poster, as a posterette and as the cover
for the ofiicial catalogue, which is full
of ads. The design is shown in the ac-
companying illustration. The idea is
that by using the same i)icture for the
several purposes the publicity is co-
ordinated.
GROWING EXHIBITION MUMS.
[A paper by Elmer D. Smith, of Adrian, Mlcli.,
read at a meeting of the Cleveland Florists' Club,
in Cleveland, O., February 5, 1917.]
Strong cuttings make strong plants;
let us first consider the care of the old
plants from which we intend to propa-
gate. The method employed by most
gardeners on private estates, setting
aside pots of the previous year in a
light, airy position, giving them a low
temperature with careful attention to
watering, will supply excellent cuttings.
Those who are not so fortunate as to
have pot-grown stock can, by careful
selection from bench-grown plants, pro-
duce fine blooms, provided they fully ap-
preciate that light, air, moderate water-
ings and a temperature of 40 to 50 de-
grees are most congenial.
When shall we begin propagating!
This depends upon the varieties to be
grown. All kinds requiring early or
crown buds — say the first week of Au-
gust— to produce double flowers, should
be inserted in the propagating beds by
the middle of the present month. The
varieties referred to are Alice Lemon,
Bob Pulling, C. H. Totty, Cheltoni, F. S.
Vallis, Hon. Mrs. Lopes, James Fraser,
Morristown, Mrs. Gilbert Drabble, Mrs.
H. J. Jones, Mrs. James Gibson, Mrs.
R. C. Pulling, Mrs. R. H. Boggs,
Pockett's Crimson, Wm. Rigby, W.
Woodmason and some others. All of
these should be disbudded on or a few
days before August 10. Then there are
many which give better blooms from
buds selected between August 10 and
August 20, and cuttings from these
should be in the sand by approximately
March 1. The remainder of the exhibi-
tion sorts give smoother and better
blooms from buds reserved August 25 to
September 5. These should be inserted
about March 15, and would include such
varieties as Adonis, Calumet, Daily Mail,
Elberon, Lady Hopetoun, Mankato,
Mrs. Paul Moore, Nakota, Nerissa,
Ogontz, Odessa, Reginald Vallis, Silver
King, Wm. Turner, Yellow Turner, and
possibly others.
Growing Them in Pots.
Chrysanthemums root so easily it seems
scarcely necessary to go into detail, un-
less it is to guard against the use of too
strong bottom heat. They are much
slower in making roots when no heat is
given underneath, but are better, as this
course does not draw or weaken them.
Before the cuttings are rooted, soil
for potting must be provided, and for
this, do not make it extra rich, but of
a friable nature. Avoid heavy compost,
as this retards the roots from reaching
the side of the pots. As soon as the
small plants show the roots are begin-
ning to crowd, they should be repotted
into the 4-inch size, and if they are to
be flowered in pots — which is accepted
as giving the best results — this opera-
tion will have to be repeated until they

receive the final j)otting, which is
usually into 8-inch pots. Here I wish to
say, some of the finest flowers I saw at
Philadelphia last fall were flowered in
6-iuch pots.
For each subsequent repotting, tliat is,
from the smallest to the largest pots.
slightly richer and coarser soil should be
used. There are conflicting opinions re-
garding the amount of manure or other
material to be incorporated, but we pre-
fer to be moderate in this matter, inas-
much as the feeding with liquids be-
gins as soon as the final pots are filfed
with roots, and these repeated applica-
tions furnish about all they can prop-
erly assimilate.
Growing Them in Benches.
Before going further, let us go back
to the plants in 4-inch pots. There are
many who cannot conveniently adopt
the pot system, and so must resort to the
commercial method of benching. When
the 4-inch pots begin to fill with roots,
it is time the mums should be planted,
and the soil should be the same as for
final potting — somewhat coarse, with
plenty of fiber from the half decomposed
sod, and to insure good, strong plants,
they should not be planted nearer than
twelve inches apart each way.
We are aware of the importance of
keeping the pi-ants free of insects of all
kinds, but I take it for granted you are
familiar with the methods necessary for
their destruction. However, should any-
one present desire advice for extermi-
nating aphis, thrips, leaf-tiers and the
chrysanthemum midge, or gallfly, I will
glady give my experience at the con-
clusion.
Doubtless you are all familiar with
the methods of staking and tying, so
I will not take up your time witli a dis-
cussion of these operations.
Discretion in Feeding.
The chrysantliemum, when in a
healthy, growing condition, is about
ninety jjcr cent water; hence it will be
seen they should liave a liberal sup])ly,
and when the soil is of such a nature as
to afford perfect drainage and the roots
aie in good condition it is almost impos-
isible to overwater, especially in hot
R'eather. The best index for this oper-
ation is the appearance of the plants,
and so long as they are bright green,
showing no signs of yellow foliage, it is
safe to conclude the amount being ap-
plied is in accordance with their needs,
but at the first indication of yellow
loaves the supply should be curtailed,
giving water only when the plants show
dryness, and even then with discretion.

The Florists' Review
Fbbruauv 8, 1917.
Assuming our pots or benches are well
filled with roots, let us consider how we
should nourish our plants. We are all
aware that the chrysanthemum is a
gross feeder and yet we realize this can
be overdone. It is not of so great im-
portance what kind of material we use
in supplying nutriment, as is the knowl-
edge to use what we have at our dis-
posal to the best advantage, provided,
of course, it is a well balanced food;
that is to say, it contains the three im-
portant elements, namely, nitrogen, pot-
ash and phosphoric acid. It is rational
to confine our acts within certain limits
when dealing with plants, the same as
are applied in promoting health in ani-
mal life.
Superabundance of nutrition is not
usually manifest until a breakdown oc-
curs, or until the change is so radical
as to cause apprehension. It is easy to
overdo; in fact, it is difficult to let well
enough alone, when ardent desires to ex-
cel pervade the minds of all devoted
growers. With this in mind, let us be
careful, and whatever we apply, see to
it that it is sufficiently diluted, as it is
much safer to give nourishment at
shorter intervals, if they appear in need,
than to give too much at one time, par-
ticularly during the period of growth.
The rankest growing plants do not
usually produce the most perfect blooms.
Our object should be a good, healthy
growth, with firm wood and with foliage
that is tough and leathery, rather than
brittle. Soft growth is to be guarded
against, as they must have well ripened
wood to receive the maximum benefit.
Our products are not wrought mechan-
ically; hence we cannot turn them out
to any exact size by a precise rule. The
only index we have is the plants' ap-
pearance, so that our knowledge of their
requirements is only gained by close ob-
servation through years of experience
and such experience cannot be imparted
literally to others, but must be gained
by diligence.
Effects of Climatic Conditions.
The quality of the 1917 crops is veiled
with uncertainty. They may surpass
those of former years, or be inferior to
those of the last season. Climatic con-
ditions have wonderful effects, and the
grower may not fully realize the conse-
quences when the weather is unusual
and severe — be it drought, rain, heat or
cold. These conditions, either favorable
or adverse, we must accept as nature
dictates, if not to our liking. At best,
we can do no more than to try to modify
them, as far as possible, by considering
the relation of temperature, air and
moisture to the radical state confronting
us. It is not simply because it is the
month of August that our plants pro-
duce buds, but the budding is also due
to the change which takes place in them,
contingent with the condition of the
atmosphere. Cool nights early in the
season are conducive to early buds, and
the reverse to late maturity, or buds.
No allusion has been made to speci-
men plants, inasmuch as most growers
do not attempt this specific branch of
chrysanthemum culture. Those who are
interested, and who are members of the
Chrysanthemum Society of America, will
find in the 3914 report an exhaustive
paper on this subject by J. Canning.
Where Bench Space Is Limited.
There may be some of you who would
like to take a hand in growing exhibi-
tion blooms, either for the coming show
or for window displays, and have only
limited space to devote. To such, I
would recommend the varieties that per-
fect good blooms from the later buds;
for example, such kinds as Odessa,
Elberon, Adonis, Calumet, Nerissa,
Nakota, Wm. Turner and its yellow
sport. These will all come good from
buds selected August 25 to September
5, producing a much higher percentage
of perfect flowers than it is possible to
grow from kinds requiring buds August
1, and the undertaking is less hazardous
and perplexing.
In conclusion I wish it understood
that these deductions, especially those
referring to dates of buds, are intended
for the middle west, and in no way are
applicable to those located at a high
altitude, or on the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts, where conditions are nearer nor-
mal than with us. Buds may appear in
Cleveland earlier than 200 miles distant,
depending upon the conditions existing
where they are grown.
In thanking you for your attention, I
extend to those who take up this inter-
esting feature of chrysanthemum cul-
ture my desire that the fullest reward
be yours, and the results of 1917 surpass
your fondest hopes.
SEASONABLE NOTES.
Care of Cattleyas.
During the cold winter months it
should be possible to find time to look
over many of the cattleya plants and
sponge them with a good insecticide,
such as fir tree oil, Aphine or some re-
liable soap spray. Use a stiff brush to
clean out scale which may be lurking
near the base of old flower sheaths. A
sponging makes the plants look much
more presentable, but, if time will not
permit this, use a force pump and spray
the plants which are not in flower or bud
with an insecticide, being sure to use
a nozzle which throws a fine, misty
spray. Cypripediums have less tough
leaves than cattleyas and sponging is
recommended for them.
If Cattleya labiata has not yet been
potted over, lose no time in overhauling
the plants. It is too late once the roots
are being freely produced. Early plants
of C. Trianffi can also be repotted or re-
surfaced now, taking the later flowering
plants as time will permit. C. Perci-
valiana should be repotted at once. Of
course only a certain proportion will
need potting, but any with roots and
growths hanging over the sides of the
pots or baskets need attention. Some
growers think it a mighty fine thing to
see roots hanging over the sides of cat-
tleya pots. As a matter of fact, it is
just the reverse. If the roots are not in
the compost, where they can get some
food, the growths are sure to be weak
and puny.
Compost for Repotting.
Good fern fiber, with the finer par-
ticles shaken out, is the best compost
for cattleyas. Cut it up in square pieces
and when potting be sure to firm the
plants thoroughly. No loosely potted
cattleyas, or, for that matter, any other
orchids, will thrive. Use ample drainage
in all pots. For this purpose coarse
pieces of fern fiber will answer almost
as well as crocks, I have used oyster
shells for cattleyas. There may be a lit-
tle food in them; at all events, the cat-
tleya roots fasten themselves upon them
in great shape.
We shall still have a good deal of cold,
dark weather and watering must be
carefully done. Particularly is this true
of newly potted stock. An occasional
light spraying on clear days will be
found helpful, however, and will pro-
vide the plants with about all needed
moisture. At this season our plants are
watered once in five or six days on the
average. It is safer to run them on the
dry side rather than the reverse. Use
liquid manure sparingly at this sea-
son. It does no harm to give occasional
weak doses to plants in active growth,
but caution is necessary at this season.
Shade and Temperature.
Cattleyas need little or no shade in
midwinter. A good sunning is a benefit
to them. Never mind if it temporarily
turns the foliage a trifle yellow; it will
make them break more strongly. As
February advances, the sun will at times
become quite strong and a light shading
will become necessary. Happy are those
who Ci.n afford movable lath shading.
It is the ideal shade for orchids. They
can then have all possible light in dark
weather.
Do not try to run a high night tem-
perature. I would much rather have the
cattleya house at 50 degrees than 60
degrees on cold mornings, and 55 degrees
is sufficient as a minimum on milder
nights. Even on extremely cold days
some top ventilation can be given for a
few hours, and where ventilation is pro-
vided below the side stages a little can
be left on during mild nights, even in
midwinter. Do not coddle cattleyas, or
they will resent it. They like plenty of
fresh air, and conditions favorable to
the growth of dendrobiums, calanthes,
cypripediums and phalsenopsis are far
from congenial to cattleyas.

LIMITATIONS OF THE HOKSE.
It is generally recognized that there
is no other line of business in which
motor delivery has been so generally
adopted as is the case with florists —
and yet many florists will be interested
in the limitations of equine delivery
service as stated by H. B. Larzelere,
of Philadelphia, general manager for
the Vim Motor Truck Co. Mr. Larzelere
says:
"Delivery experts have, by actual
test, proven that the average mer-
chant's problem is that of economically-
handling loads varying in weight from
a few hundred to 1,000 pounds. At
first sight, horse-drawn vehicles present
thfi ideal means for transporting such
light 'loads, but when you consider the
fact that a horse's endurance is limited
to only twenty miles a day, and at the
best he can travel only five miles an
hour, to make no mention of necessary
stops and starts in delivery work, one
can readily see that the cost of such
delivery must be excessive. Then
there are the stable charges, feed, har-
ness and wagon repair, veterinary
charges and many other little inci-
dentals that are rarely considered. In
the aggregate, all these count and pre-
sent a delivery charge which is pro-
hibitive.
"Motorized delivery is the ideal
solution of the problem; but the aver-
age merchant's failing is his inability
to buy a truck adapted to his particular
needs. Many merchants turn to the
converted pleasure car as an avenue of
lelief, but time has proven the down-
fall of such a method. No car, de-
signed/to joy-ride 800 pounds of pass-
engers in high gear, can successfully
withstand the severe strains of de-
livery service. Sudden starts and stops,
y jars and jolts of dead-weight loads soon
tell on such vehicles and the replace-
ment and repair charges, not to men-
Tlie Market.
The last two or three weeks have seen
a shortage in some kinds of out flowers.
Even carnations are short, but their
quality is excellent. The larger part of
the azalea shipments reached this city
absolutely ruined, so there also is a
shortage in pot plants. Golden Spurs
and hyacinths are coming to the rescue
in a measure, and cyclamens are in
good supply and more popular than ever.
Indications point to the use of fewer
bulbs next year than ever before in the
history of the trade here and to the
placing of more reliance on plants that
can be grown at home. Cyclamen seeds
have been produced by some of the
growers here for several years and there
are no better strains anywhere. A de-
termined effort is being made to be in-
dependent of European sources of sup-
ply. In the end this will mean the use
of a larger line of plants and cut flow-
ers, and result in better business.
Sweet peas now are plentiful, but the
dark days of the last two weeks were
no help to them. Lilies continue plen-
tiful.
Various Notes.
Miss Marion Joy, daughter of the
late T. C. Joy and a younger sister of
the present members of the firm, has
been operated on for appendicitis. She
was able to return to her home last
week.
Daniel Mclntyre is enjoying a decided
improvement in health. He seems to
have taken a new lease on life.
Geny Bros, are offering a nice line of
azaleas. Their main shipments were
totally ruined.
C. H. Tritschler is propagating bed-
ding plants heavily. He also is gradu-
ally developing the cut flower end of
the business.
Mrs. M. Bralliar sustained a serious
fracture of the forearm and wrist in a
fall on the icy road recently. She is
making a rapid recovery.
The Joy Floral Co. has a contract for
landscaping the grounds of the Golf and

©ana E. Herron, of Clean, N. Y., is of
the opinion that carnations, to be sat-
isfactory, must be grown from cuttings
taken from plants grown especially for
that purpose. "It stands to reason,"
said Mr. Herron, "that cuttings taken
from blooming plants have not the
requisite vitality to withstand the de-
mands made upon them. We reserve four
benches entirely for cuttings and at-
tribute our heavy crops and the sturdy
growth to that fact. Carnations had
a hard time last summer; first the ex-
cessive rains, then the drought — small
wonder the plants have made such slow
headway. Those Belle Washburn carna-
tions, for instance, were planted out of
3-inch pots and were smaller when
they were lifted to the bench. One-half
the complaints we hear are that the
cuttings lack the necessary stamina and,
in addition, are raised under too much
shade. The less shade the better, we
believe; we do not shade ours at all."
The rose crops have more than made
up for the deficiency. Hadley is espe-
cially fine. Some 50,000 geraniums are
most promising. Store Manager M. Op-
penheim says that Snapdragon Keystone
is highly popular, and as it now is here
it certainly is a gem.
"It was the best year in the history
of the establishment," responded
Charles Cotter, of the Lakeview Rose
Gardens, of Jamestown, N. Y., to my
inquiry of "How's business!" It
was interesting to trace the steady ad-
vance of business to the climax of the
year just ended, the more ' gratifying
when one considers the difficulty under
which the stock is grown. At this time
a batch of about 60,000 geraniums in
21/i-inch pots is interesting. These were
potted as the cuttings were taken from
the stock plants. The percentage of loss
is trifling. Soon the final shift into 3i^>-
inch pots will take place. Becoming
reminiscent, our good confrere traced
the profession back to the period when
Sargon, the first king of Babylon, was
called a gardener-king, 6,000 years ago!
Our old friend, Lawrence Cotter, is ex-
tremely ill.
George H. Heelas, of Jamestown,
points with pride to the first dollar
taken in. It is framed and suspended
over the cash register. "At one time
it looked ^s though we should need it,"
remarked our hustling confrere, "but
we cleared the rapids and now H is
smooth sailing in comparison. The
favorite rose with us is Francis Scott
Key. ' '
The business conducted for thirty
years by Daniel Offerle, at Warren, Pa.,
has passed to a younger son, Victor, who
is remodeling the range and bringing it
up to date. R. Offerle has launched out
on his own account just across the river
at Warren. He has built new houses
and intends to expand as the business
permits. He is adding a delivery auto.
Both men have had good experience
and undoubtedly will succeed.
G. L. Graham, of Bradford, Pa., was
threatened with pneumonia. Mrs. Gra-
ham had charge of the business and
said that they never had a better season
than the present one. There is a gen-
eral shortage of stock, both in cut flow-
ers and blooming plants. Much of the
imported stock arrived in a damaged
condition.
S. F. Stephens & Son, of Columbus,
O., are proud of the new house finished
in time for fall business. I found the
junior member busily engaged in lining
graves. Quoting the "old sexton," he
remarked: "We gather them in; the
bulk of our work is right here. By
pleasing our patrons and trying local
advertising, we have increased this sea-
son's business seventeen per cent."

EESULTS.
We give them. You get them.
We both have them.
It is fair to say that Matchless and
Mrs. Ward, originated in the same es-
tablishment, have proved as hard to beat
as any two carnations ever put on the
market.
Some of the introducers of novelties
are not finding dissemination as easy as
they expected. Nowadays it makes a
difference whose recommendation a nov-
elty bears.
The trade has had a bad week. It
has been severely cold over the greater
part of the country, curtailing the use
of flowers and adding materially to the
work and expense necessary to keep the
frost out.
The principal growth of the trade at
present is in the country towns, where
large numbers of those engaged in other
lines are taking up floriculture. In most
cases the beginners make their start
without glass, but greenhouses are only a
question of time.
It is said that certain Holland travelers
are much discouraged* with the results of
their canvass to date. While the grow-
ers out in the country are placing orders
much as usual -at open prices, those in
touch with the cities are said to be de-
terred by the disinclination of the sales-
men to name any but higher prices.
William Gray, of Newport, E. I., sec-
retary of the American Sweet Pea Society,
sends out a list of premiums offered for
the ninth exhibition of that society, to
be held at Boston July 7 and 8. Eighteen
special premiums have been offered by
trade concerns. The complete schedule
will be issued March 1 and is expected
to contain a number of others.
WHAT OIBCULATION DOES.
The paper required to print a regular
edition of The Eeview now costs $775,
but out of this sum 12,500 copies come,
and out of the 12,500 copies this is what
the advertisers get:
Four insertions of my classified ad sold over
78,000 bulbs, which is going some.— H. B. Mea-
der, Dover, N. H., January 22, 1917.
One insertion of the ad in The Review cleaned
up our surplus. — Tarentum Floral Co., Tarentum,
Pa., January 20, 1917.
The ads in The Review have brought us im-
mediate results. — Harglerode Bros., Shippens-
burg. Pa., January 20, 1917.
Please cancel my ad immediately, as I have
received orders for over 80,000 plants on the ad
and cannot fill them all. — G. C. TlUlnghast,
Springfield, O., January 17, 1917.
Please discontinue ttie ad, as we have enough
orders booked to use up all our stock. — James
Culbert, Rossville, 111., January 22, 1917.
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 Eeview.
PITY THE POOE PLANTSMAN.
"If we have 'em ready to ship be-
fore we advertise, when the orders have
come and the plants gone out we get a
kick because they're potbound," said
a specialist in young stock, "but if we
try to get the orders ahead, to be filled
when the stock is ready, then the feller
gets all het up for fear we've stole his
cash. ' '
'Tis true. Pity the poor plantsman!
But why doesn 't the plantsman come
up to date on his business methods?
Why doesn't he state in his ads when
the stock will be ready to ship? Why
doesn't he have a postal printed that
will make it possible to acknowledge
each order by filling in a blank or two,
and to state when and how shipment
will be made? Why doesn't he tabulate
his orders, so he will know when a batch
of cuttings is sold out? If he finds he
must wait for the next lot of stock to
fill later orders, why doesn't he notify
the man who orders and so save a kick?

the effort to supply only good stock
shipment planned for blank date will be
delayed to such another day?

definite methods — systems — have been

feet liiKli; good habit; Inrpe cluster of flowers of
a brilliant scarlet; petals broadly edged with pure
yellow.
Snow Queen — Flowers six inches across, of crys-
tal whiteness, revealing faint opalescent flashes
of fairy pink spots; the general effect is dis-
tinctly white; petals are two and one-half inches
broad and of firm texture; foliage is green and
the plant about four feet in height.
Druid Hill — Dark stems and deep red flowers:
foliage nearly like Illack Beauty; of unusual
grace and effectiveness; high, well-poised heads
of average sized flowers; color combination un-
matched.
Morning Glow — .\ most picturesque color con-
trast; foliage olive-green, Rtriped and veined
with bronze; flowers an exquisite soft shell-pink,
with orange-red center.
SPEAKING OF HARDSHIPS—
Speaking of florists' hardships in gen-
eral and particular, Louis B. Westholder
arises to say that, for pure diabolical-
ness, the Wyoming brand of adversity
surely ought to take first prize. Mr.
Westholder conducts — when he is not
snowed under — stores at Evanston and
Eock Springs, Wyo., and does a large
agency business in towns along the
Union Pacific right of way. Old Boreas
has been working overtime out in Wyo-
ming and — but here are extracts from
Mr. Westholder 's epistle:
"The landscape from my store win-
dow consists principally of a snow moun-
tain, in the street, which ends in a pin-
nacle six feet above the entrance to my
store. The cheerfulness of this scene is
heightened by the knowledge that $150
worth of flowers in transit are a total
loss to me. I supply many towns with
flowers, but to get shipments through
would be like trying to move the afore-
said snow mountain. Thirty-four pas-
senger trains of the Union Pacific are
tied up between Evanston and Laramie;
some are snowed under and 1,000 miners
have been employed to tunnel the
coaches out of the 'beautiful' snow.
"Growers are having difiiculty in
procuring coal — neither love nor money
can budge the coal barons — and cut flow-
er crops are at a standstill. Last, but
not least, last week's issue of The Ee-
view is still somewhere in snowdom.
"But every cloud has a silver lining,
and it is consoling to know that business
during December and January was
thirty-three and one-third per cent
higher than that of the same two months
a year ago. Last week I made a casket
blanket of 750 roses, carnations and vio-
lets. The only difficulty was in making
a delivery without freezing the stock,
for the finger of the recording devil out-
doors was at 35 below."
February 3, 1917.
John Young, Sec'y.
CHICAGO.
The Market.
The extreme cold weather of last week
made city trade slow and the wholesal-
ers who are dependent mostly upon city
business complain that the week has
been extremely dull. Shipping trade, on
the other hand, has been good, so that
those who cater to this branch of the
business had little difficulty in moving
stock and good average prices were ob-
tained. The end of the week the mar-
ket cleaned out fairly well, with the pos-
sible exception of sweet peas, which, be-
cause of the cold, were found hard to
move.
American Beauties are still extremely
scarce and high prices are obtaining.
The market on roses loosened up con-
siderably last week. Eoses are again
beginning to come in crop and the sup-
ply is accordingly steadily increasing.
Carnations are plentiful, but move well
and are bringing fair prices. Carnations
have not been bringing the prices they
should this season; only at one time and
that at the beginning of the season were
they in strong demand and then nobody
had a supply to meet the requirements,
so that growers generally are greatly
dissatisfied.
Easter lilies are not plentiful, and
those that reach the market sell well at
a good price. Callas also are in light
supply; in fact, there were not nearly
so many grown this year as in former
years. They sell well, however, and
good prices are being obtained. The

supply of violets is not large and they
are moving well. Sweet peas arrive in
large supply, but because of the cold
weather they have been dragging con-
siderably. Paper whites are quite plen-
tiful and are selling fairly well. Good
tulips sell readily at a fair price. Poor
stock, however, is found difficult to
move. Freesias arrive in ample supply,
but are not selling as well as they
should. Daisies are arriving in larger
quantities and are selling fairly/well.
A little stevia may still be found 'on the
market. Snapdragons are still slow in
arriving; what stock comes in, however,
sells well. The supply of jonquils is not
large, but . sufficient to fill the demand.
January Weather.
The cold wave that marked the advent
of February was hard on the growers,
increasing the already high fuel bill.and
causing much extra work, but January
was a favorable month for production.
Temperature, snowfall and wind move-
ment were about normal, but of sun,
the most important factor, there was
sixty-four per cent of the possible
amount. Usually in January Chicago
gets only forty-two per cent of the pos-
sible numl)cr of hours of sun, so this
year gave fifty per cent more than nor-
mal sun.
Fuel Famine Feared.
Warnings of a new coal shortage in
Chicago wore sent out February 6, as
a result of an embargo by all eastern
railroads on the movement of coal west-
ward from Pennsylvania and West Vir-
ginia. This shuts off, for an -indefinite
time, the supply of Pocahontas coal on
which many local growers depend.
A Beiinion.
One of those pretty, always-summery
post cards has come to The Review in
the zero weather, inscribed "Greetings
from Los Angeles," and bearing the
well-known signatures of H. N. Bruns,
E. C. Amling, A. Ringier, Fred Sperry,
H. K. Richards and Harold Amling, all
Chicagoans or former Chicagoans. Evi-
dently something in the nature of a re-
union was in progress.
Various Notes.

IT WILL PAY YOU

and was about to save him when the
terrified lad grasped him around the
neck and drew him down with him.

The Market.
It is indeed gratifying to see the large
orders for funeral work come pouring
in, for the cold weather of last week
kept the transient trade quiet. The de-
mand for funeral flowers has been so
heavy that it had the forces of several
stores working almost day and night.
Should the call for flowers for other pur-
poses become heavier, the stores would
take on a holiday aspect, with its attend-
ant rush and hurry.
We are glad to note that some of the
more progressive florists have increased
the price of carnations to $1 per dozen,
from 75 cents, which was the price in
vogue at this time last year. In view
of the higher cost of all supplies used
by florists, we think this price is neces-
sary in order to "live and let live."
In sharp contrast one or two men are
offering pickled stock at the ridiculous
price of 25 cents per dozen.
Some splendid single violets are seen,
as well as mignonette of extra high
quality. In roses Ophelia, Killarney and
Eusseil at present are in public favor,
the prices ranging from $1.50 to $4 per
dozen. A few Rainbow freesias are in
the market and, considering the size of
the flowers and length of the stems, they
are well worth the price of the bulbs,
$4 per hundred. Sweet peas are increas-
ing in supply and the quality is the high-
est ever seen here. The demand for
peas is always steady. A scant supply
of lilies is quickly used in funeral work,
at the usual price of $3 per dozen.
Pot plants this year are enjoying
greater popularity than at any former
time. Cyclamens, primulas and tulips
now always have a ready sale, which
certainly could not have been said of
them in former years.

Various Notes.
The E. G. Reimers Co. suffered a slight
loss from freezing, as also did John
Bohrman. It was impossible to keep
the temperature up during such extreme-
ly cold weather.
A visit to the Kirch Greenery, as
Louis Kirch has appropriately named
his establishment, found things in ex-
cellent shape. The crop of plumosus
and Sprengeri made an excellent show-
ing. Mr, Kirch believes in making two
blades grow where only one grew be-
fore; accordingly, he has planted sweet
peas among the young greens and is
cutting some excellent flowers. A
unique geranium plant, 10 years old, fur-
nished 600 cuttings at one time. These
were in the sand when the writer called.
A visitor to the greenhouses of the
E. G. Reimers Co. will indeed be im-
pressed by the spick-and-span appear-
ance of the place and the splendid con-
dition of all the stock grown there.
Milton Reimers, who is in charge, took
the course in horticulture at the State
University and from there went to the
Wilcox & Sons range at Council Bluffs,
la. A bench of Nebraska coming into
crop was a sight. There were flowers
four inches in diameter on 3-foot stems
that were straight and stiff as ramrods.
These flowers have sold regularly at
$1.50 per dozen and a number of orders
have been taken for cuttings. We think
it is a fitting answer to the question,
"Do novelties pay?"
A batch of 1,000 carnation cuttings,
just ready to be taken out, was noted
at the F. Walker Co. houses. This firm
intends to increase its planting of this
flower next season.
Henry Fuchs suffered the loss of his
smokestack during the heavy wind.

The Market.
Just as the market was showing signs
of easing up somewhat, another cold
wave came along, checked the stock
and caused the market to become tighter
than it was a fortnight ago.
Roses still are on the short side of the
market. The same is true of carnations.
Easter lilies meet with a ready sale.
Bulbous stock is more plentiful and is
proving good property. Sweet peas sell
well. Valley, violets and orchids are in
fair supply but meet with, an ordinary
demand, having competition in good
primroses, callas, rubrum lilies, baby
roses, snapdragons and forget-me-nots.
Greens are plentiful.

St. Valentine's Day Suggestions
The call for this particular day seems to be largely for Spring Flowers and other small stock which make up
an attractive cut flower box. We would suggest the following items to you :
CARNATIONS
The supply is increasing, and we
believe we can take care of all orders
very nicely. We have never offered
you better Carnations than we have
now. We say they are the best, and
you can depend on it that you are get-
ting high-grade stock, mostly the newer
varieties, of the best keeping quality.
Valley
Tulips
Preesias
Daffodils
Sweetheart Roses
Lilac Cattleyas
Daisies Gardenias
Primulas Mignonette
Pussy Willow Calendulas
Snapdragon Cornflowers
Single and Double Violets
White and Yellow Daisies
It would be quite in order for you to provide for a sufficient quantity of cut
flowers to meet the demand. The most essential point for a satisfactory and
profitable business for St. Valentine's Day is that you provide for an ample
supply and be prepared for the extra business that is sure to come.

The Market.
Two exceedingly severe cold waves,
following closely one after the other,
have checked business in cut flowers
and in plants. It is a curious fact that,
seriously as these cold waves affect the
development of stock in the greenhouses,
they affect sales much more. People
do not shop in a near-zero temperature
unless it is absolutely necessary. There
are some parties, but little transient
trade. The result is a decided dullness,
with little change in prices, as receipts
are light. It is unfortunate that many
shipments of flowers arrived frozen,
owing to insufficient protection. Some
could be sold at low prices when thawed
out; others were useless.
Carnations have fallen in price; so
also have daffodils and tulips. Boses
remain unchanged. The supply still is
light. The first Acacia pubescens has
arrived. Lilacs and freesias are plenti-
ful and good. Valley and sweet peas
sell well. Yellow narcissi are neglected
now that daffodils can be obtained read-
ily. Greens are quite scarce.
Bose Show Work.
A meeting of the executive committee
of the American Rose Society was held
in the Bellevue-Stratford hotel, Feb-
ruary 1. Progress has been made by all
the committees in the work of prepara-
tion for the show that will open March
20 in the First Regiment armory. The
committee on decorations, John P. Hab-
ermehl, chairman, now has its plans well
matured. The central rose garden has
been agreed upon. Many of the plants
have been engaged and the general deco-
rations for the hall are planned. A most
encouraging sign is that the retail flo-
rists will support this show with exhibits
that will be worthy of their skill. The
membership tickets are being sent out
now, in order that all members will know

A large audience greeted Max Schling,

ruary 6. Mr. Schling talked on adver-
tising and his hearers grew enthusiastic
when he told of delivering flowers any-
where in the United States in two hours.
The carnation exhibits included Belle
Washburn and Miss Theo, from W. F.
Evans; a pink sport, from A. F. Le
Fevre, and Cornell, from S. S. Pennoek-

The Shop Windows.
A daring window — one that suggests
that the artist who arranged it meant to
compel attention, a window that it is
difficult to pass without stopping, a win-
dow that repays study — such is the win-
dow of William Berger's Sons.
The floor is of white, so pure that the
white trellis in the background looks
creamy by comparison. On this daz-
zlingly white floor are vases of flowers
that present strong contrasts. Each
vase is generously filled and given ample
display room. A blue vase is filled with
freesias and cornflowers; the freesias
tall and graceful, the cornflowers short.
just clear of the vase that they match
well. Nearby is another vase in which
white predominates. It is nearly filled
with Easter lilies save for a cluster of
the orange Calendula grandiflora. At
one side a bunch of white daisies in a
green bowl and a shapely bowl full of
Golden Spur daffodils and Paper White
narcissi complete the suggestion of
spring. A vase containing just two speci-
men Ophelia roses in the background
gives a suggestion of early summer to
this spring-like window.
Various Notes.
Miss Emily Exley commenced a series
of six lectures at Eleventh and Locust

A meeting of the growers of gera-
niums and other bedding plants will be
held at the office of Robert Craig Co.,
4900 Market street, Saturday, February
10, at 2 p. m., to consider whether the
price of spring plants should be ad-
vanced owing to the increased cost of
production.
Alfred B. Cartledge, Jr., will open a

WASHINGTON, D. C.
The Market.
Washington experienced its first real-
ly cold weather of the winter February
6, as much as 10 degrees below zero.
Stock sold up closely last week, the
prices remaining about the same as those
of the week before. Usually there comes
a drop at this time of the year, but the
weather has been such, up to now, as
to keep the figures quite high. Roses in
all colors are scarce and it is a difficult
matter to get any but culls at less than
8 cents. The bulk of the stock runs
up to $15 per hundred, while some few
specials bring $20 per hundred and
higher. Carnations continue to bring
$5 and $6 per hundred and are as scarce
as reported the preceding week. Other
stock is more plentiful.

William F. Gude has again broken

urge the adoption of the mountain laurel
as the national flower. William F. Gude,
as national representative of the S. A.

the desires of florists. He stated that

that among the answers he received

The Market.
Last week closed with a cold wave,
war clouds and a blue Saturday. Mon-
day morning the intense cold was ac-
companied by a blizzard, and the week
opened rather discouragingly for all
branches of the trade.
The cut flower market was steady
last week and the average prices of last
month prevailed. The scarcity of roses
is still a reality and there has been no
recession in values; any change during
the present week is improbable. The
receipts of high-grade American Beau-
ties are light and as high as 75 cents
each was asked for the selected blooms,
with corresponding values for every
grade. All other roses have held won-
derfully, nothing under $4 per hundred
having been quoted for the short-
stemmed arrivals. Hadleys continue
popular and the best of them bring 50
cents each. The other favorites are

February 12 the New York Florists'
Club will meet at its rooms in the Grand
Opera House building. At the present
rate of increase in membership the club
soon will need more commodious quar-
ters. With the average attendance over
150 and a membership of nearly 500,
space has become a serious considera-
tion. March 17 the annual dinner of the
Florists' Club takes place at the Bilt-
more. This date will be especially op-
portune for out-of-town florists attend-
ing the flower show. Vice-president
Miller says he has some surprises for
both occasions. President Stumpp hopes
there will be at least 400 at the banquet.

The Market.
Toward the end of last week this city
was in the grip of the coldest spell of
the season. On account of the cold
weather and lack of equipment, the ex-
press companies refused to accept ship-
ments of stock, and wholesalers had se-
rious difficulty in getting shipments out.
This condition, of course, had a bad ef-
fect on business in general, as the local

dealers were not handling so much stock
as they would had the weather been nor-
mal. The week was fairly satisfactory,
however, despite adverse conditions, and
the coal consumed at greenhouse ranges
in this vicinity was something scan-
dalous.
Roses are in fine shape and there is
enough of the long, fancy stock to sat-
isfy the demand. Shorter grades, how-
ever, are scarce and it is impossible
to take care of all orders for this class
of stock. Short Russell roses are espe-
cially hard to obtain, and Ophelia is a
close second in this respect. Red roses
are also particularly scarce and even
standing orders on this color are not be-
ing taken care of in full.
Carnations are more plentiful this
week and the stock is good. The pro-

^HE FACT that we have ia the past seven years built up the largest Cut Flower Box
business in the Country is our best advertisement. We strive to please and the results
speak for themselves.
"WHEN BETTER BOXES ARE MADE WE WILL MAKE THEM"
is still our slogan.
We manufacture and carry in stock for prompt shipment: Oxford Gray, Mist Green, Mist
Tan, White Carnation and our popular Favorite grade— the latter a most satisfactory telescope
shipping box. Holiday boxes in season. We make special sizes promptly and at reasonable
charge, and specialize in attractive and up-to-date printing and embossing.
With our increased facilities we aim to make our service the best in our line, and if you are in the market it will pay you to wait
for the "Climax" Salesman, or send for laie price list and samples to nearest office: 141 Mxlk St., Boston; 2914 11th bt.. N. W.. Wash-

portion of colors seems to have evened
up to some extent and all orders are be-
ing taken care of satisfactorily. Sweet
peas are in heavier supply and the cut
is big enough to take care of the de-
mand. Violets arc coming along finely
and the quantity of singles has in-
creased sufficiently so that they can be
sold in large lots.
Lilies are scarce and even the light
<lemand is not being taken care of sat-
isfactorily. There are plenty of short
rubrums in the market and these are
moving nicely. Valley, of course, is ex-
tremely scarce, and the supply includes
but few first- quality sprays. Spring
stock is coming in more heavily each
day and is selling well. Daffodils are
somewliat slow in arriving and are
cleaned up easily.
Various Notes.
A. Schiller, who has been confined
to the hospital for some time, where he
has undergone several operations, was
operated on again February 3. He was
too weak to take an anaesthetic, but it is
reported that he is resting quietly and
is suffering no ill effects. It will be some
time before he again will be aWe to
be about.
William Leverenz, who underwent a
serious operation some time ago, is able
to visit the store, but he cannot attend
to business as yet. He is improving
nicely and it will not be long before he
will be in the harness again.
Among visitors last week were C. B.
Knickman, of McHutchison & Co., New
York, and J. J. Karins, of Henry A.
Dreer, Inc., Philadelphia.
William R. Schroeder and N. Zwcifel
left Milwaukee January 30 to attend

Graduations and an abundance of fu-

lively last week. The call for flowers
has exceeded the usual supply during
the winter months. The severe weather
has greatly hampered the daily consign-
ments, delaying some of them for hours,
and in some cases the flowers have been
frozen.
Stock is none too plentiful at this
time and prices are higher. There is a

out of the question; only small consign-

are disposed of easily. The supply of
carnations is not large, but the quality
is fair. Prices range from $5 to $6 per

The Florists' Review

FOR YOUR PROTECTION, MR. FLORIST,
ACCEPT "SUPERIORA" MAGNOLIA LEAVES ONLY
For they are endorsed by the leading wholesale trade. REFUSE IMITATIONS
EXTRACTS FROM OUR ENDORSEMENTS
The Wm. Murphy Co., of Cincinnati, O., writes: "We find your
'Superiora' Magnolia Leaves the best product of the kind we have
ever sold, and we take pleasure In congratulating you on same and
recommending them to all in need of a flrst-class satisfactory
leaf."
B. E. & J. T. Cokely, of Scranton, Pa., write: "We have
always considered your Magnolia Leaves to be a standard for quality,
etc."
The Baltimore Wholesale Florist and Supply Co., of Baltimore,
Md., writes: "We are confident that any other manufactured Mag-
nolia Leaves could not compete with yours, as other brands have
been offered us, which, after we tried them, we refused to carry
In stock."
N. F. McCarthy & Co., of Boston, MaSH., write: ". . . It
Is the opinion of McCarthy & Co. that your good firm prepares the
best leaf that has yet been offered In the United States. It is well
worth the difference between the prices offered by Inferior manu-
facturers and your agents."
Jos. Ziska & Sons, of Chicago, III., write: "We feel that you
are entitled to a compliment on the good quality of your 'Superiora'
brand Magnolia Leaves. We have handled these goods for a long
time — In fact, we believe that we are one of the first h&ndlers ot
your goods here in Chicago, and must say that we have as yet to
got a return of your merchandise. Even buyers that were always
accustomed to buying the foreign brands realize and admit that
your leaves are far superior."
The Cleveland Florists' Exchange, Cleveland, O., says: ". . .
never as yet have we had a complaint on the 'Superiora' brand of
Magnolia Leaves, nor a carton returned."
Smith & Young: Co., of Indianapolis, Ind., writes: "We will con-
tinue to use 'Superiora' exclusively as we consider it superior to any
other leaf In the market. Since we handle 'Superiora' we have not
had one single complaint, etc., etc."
The Jjeo Niessen Co., of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "To the best
of our knowledge your leaves are of the best quality and as good
as we can get In the market."
The Cleveland Cnt Flower Co., of Cleveland, Ohio, writes:
". . . that we have been sending you orders for 'Superiora' brand
Magnolia Leaves for several years should prove that we like your
goods . . ."
The Dale Estate, of Brampton, Ont., writes: "We are glad to
state that any 'Superiora' leaves that we have had in the past
were always as reported and gave satisfaction in our business."
Geo. H. Angermneller, of St. Louis, Mo., says: "It pleases me
to say that I have worked up a splendid business on your 'Superiora'
Magnolia Leaves, and I credit my success to the fact that the quality
of your leaves has always been entirely satisfactory to my customers,
etc."
Oscar Leistner, of Chicago, III., writes: ". . . As you know,
before you gave us the sole agency for the Western country, we were
handling a different leaf, but these leaves gave us no end of trouble
and our customers were very much disappointed with the quality.
Since we have been handling your leaves we find that the complaints
from our customers have entirely disappeared, and the trade seems
anxious to buy your leaves exclusively. Only today one of our cus-
tomers told us that he had bought 100 cartons of Magnolias from
one of your competitors, but that he has been compelled to return
them, as his customers absolutely refused to accept them, due to the
fact that the leaves are 'off-color' as well as mouldy, etc."
New York Florists' Supply Co., of New York City, writes: "Since
we have been handling your 'Superiora' Magnolia Leaves we have
had no complaints about the quality, and can assure you that in
our Judgment they are fully up to the standard of the best Im-
ported."
C. £. Crltchell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, writes: "My customers Insist
on having the 'Superiora' brand of Magnolias, as they claim these
are the best, and that they do not dry out or become mouldy, and
that every leaf can be used, and when this is taken into considera-
tion, they are also the cheapest, besides being the best."
The McCallnm Co., of Pittsburgh, Pa., says: "Other Magnolia
preparers have tried to Induce us to stock up their goods 'Just aa
good as Dux's' at a cheaper price, but we have in each Instance told
them frankly that It was a case of quality with us, and that we did
not think their leaf would grive the satisfaction yours did. We con-
sider our Magnolia trade one of the best assets of our business and
will not take a chance of losing it; In fact, our traveling men are
often greeted as 'Magnolia Kings.' "
I/. Baomann & Co., of Chicago, III., write: "We regard your
'Superiora' Magnolia Leaves as being unequaled and certainly
would not want to have anything else. Your leaves need no recom-
mendation— they speak for themselves."

MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.
The Market.
Business has been satisfactory, fu-
neral work continuing to be the main-
stay of the activity in the stores. The
demand for flowers for decorative pur-
poses, however, has weakened markedly.
After a 2-day shortage caused by a
snow blockade, cut flower receipts now
are easily adequate for requirements.
Particularly fine blooms of Ophelia,
Russell and Killarney head a plenteous
supply of roses. The quotations start
at $8 and then mount the scale that ends
with Beauty's prices. Cecils Brunner
and others of its type win popular favor
at $2.50 and $3 per hundred. Easter
lilies and callas meet with a lively call,

and the figures on these are in line with
the high-cost-of -living idea. Violets ex-
perience a good sale, 100 of the fragrant
blooms bringing $1. Good flowering
plants move easily.
The retailers are preparing novelties
and clearing the decks for the St.
Valentine boom, and it's going to be
"some" boom, if great expectations
come true.
Various Notes.
In observance of McKinley day, the
H. B. Whitted Floral Co. had a patriotic
window display at its Fifth street store.
An American flag artistically decorated
with carnations formed the center of
the window.
W. Hayden, of the Florist Shop, has
had his domain redecorated and im-
proved. Mr. Hayden does a splendid
business and is well known for his ar-
tistic funeral pieces.
Topnotch tulips and jonquils now
come under the knife at the Max Kaiser
houses. E. M. P.
PROVIDENCE, R. I.
The Market.
The sunless wcatlier, with excessively
cold spells, has been reflected in the
general scaroity of flowers. Relief, how-
ever, is in sight, as daffodils, hyacinths
and tulips are beginning to come along
in increasing quantity. There has been
no material decline in the prices of
roses and carnations. Sweet peas are
coming into market in larger quantities
and are of better quality.
Various Notes.
At tlie annual meeting of the New
England Nurserymen 's Association,
held at New Haven, Conn., last week,
D. A. Clarke, of Fiskeville, was elected

every week. That is what it means to
be popular!
The riorists ' Club met February 6 and
elected officers. Last year was a good
one for the society. It had a steady
growth, a number of new members hav-
ing been elected at each meeting.

NEWARK, N. J.
The Market,
While there is a good variety of flow-
ers in the market, stock generally is
scarce and high. Each week sees a
larger quantity of bulbous stock offered.
The volume of business done in this
section is reported to be satisfactory.
Some of the florists complain that they
are unable to pass on to the purchaser
all the higher prices of flowers. An
unusually large number of deaths from
pneumonia have resulted in much fu-
neral work. Winter weddings also have
added to the volume of business.
Various Notes.
Charles Luthy reports business good
just now. The new store which he re-
cently opened on Eighteenth avenue,
near Springfield avenue, is attracting
a satisfactory trade.
Connolly & Plunkett, who several
months ago purchased the store at 20
Belmont avenue, from Joseph D. Kroehl,
Jr., have acquired the store operated by
Robert James. Mr. James is going back
to his greenhouse business. The James
store will be the headquarters hereafter,
and the Belmont avenue store the
branch. Business is reported good at
both stores. R. B. M.
NEWPORT, R. I.
The premium list for the June exhibi-
tion of flowers, to be held under the
joint auspices of the Newport Horticul-
tural Society and the Newport Garden
Association, is out. Copies may be se-
cured from Secretary Frederick P.
Webber.
James Galvin is taking a respite from
business on account of poor health.
V. A. Vanicek was elected treasurer
of the New England Nurserymen's Asso-
ciation at the annual meeting at New
Haven, Conn., last week.
The balance of the stock in the Galvin
Nursery recently was purchased for use
on the James estate. W. H. M.
NEW BEDFORD, MASS.
The Market.
School graduations last week called
for more flowers than usual. Nearly all
the florists had a generous share of the
work. Eoses and carnations were ob-
tainable, but there were other flowers,
too, such as violets, sweet peas, nar-
cissi and orchids.
Weather conditions have not changed
much, cold, dark days having prevailed
most of the time. Prices are still high,
except those of carnations, which reced-
ed a little during the last of the week.
Various Notes.
Harry Kranzler has left the employ
of Ernest Chamberlain and gone into
business in another line.
H. V. Sowle reports a heavy run of
funeral work during the last week.
Edward M. Pierce is growing many
snapdragons this year. Besides several
benches, he has several thousands of the
best 2i4:inch plants one would want to
see. He finds a ready market for all he
can produce.
S. E. Shaw is picking fine sweet peas.
Mr. Shaw has grown more carnations
this year than usual, but he declares the
demand has exceeded the output
throughout the winter.
Fred C. Covill is doing an ever-in-
creasing business. He had many orders
for the high school graduations. Carna-
tions were the most popular sellers with
him. W. M. P.
Beckley, W. Va. — This is a city of
4,500 population without a florist, but
Mrs. C. H. Blain is planning to supply
the deficiency.
Scranton, Pa. — 111 health has made it
necessary for Jonathan Rodham to re-
tire from the business. He has leased
his range to G. R. Clark.
Lake Forest, HI. — "Insects and Bugs
Injurious to Plant Life and Best Meth-
ods of Control," was the subject of an
instructive lecture by Prof. D. K. Mc-
Millan, of Urbana, 111., at last month's
meeting of the North Shore Horticul-
tural Society. The members of the so-
ciety were guests of Thomas Head, at
the estate of J. O. Armour. The meet-
ing incidentally was a house warming
of the new reading and recreation rooms
built by Mr. Armour for the men em-
ployed on the estate.

ST. LOUIS.
The Market.
Wholesale market conditions last
week were good. The extremely cold
days retarded activities somewhat, but
as a whole the business for the week
was excellent, with prices not any too
high. The weather during the first few
(lays of the week was mild, but during
the last three days the thermometer
registered below zero. These conditions
have checked trade considerably.
As to last week 's supply of cut stock,
the conditions remained the same as
those of the week previous. Roses in all
varieties were scarce and the few that
did come in brought good prices. Beau-
ties brought $6 per dozen for extra qual-
ity stock and the demand for these was
excellent. Ophelias have the call in
all roses and are of fine color. Choice
stock brings $12 per hundred. Russells
arc scarce at present and the demand
for Killarney far exceeds the supply.
Anything in red sells well.
Carnations, too, have been in large de-
mand and extra fancies brought $4 per
Inindred. A good crop of these is ex-
I)ected from now on. Violets at present
are in heavy crop and sell at 40 cents
for choice stock. St. Valentine's day
will use many violets and the crop prom-
ises to be large for this day. Sweet peas
arc arriving in fine shape. Extra long,
fancy butterfly peas bring $1..50 per
hundred and common stock makes 3.1
cents per hundred. Good jonquils,
tulips, freesias and valley are seen daily.
There also is a good crop of Paper
Whites. Callas and Easter lilies are
scarce, with the demand good. All green
goods have a big call — asparagus, galax,
.smilax, adiantum, flat ferns and wild
smilax.
Various Notes.
Mr. Ground Hog, as usual, made his
appearance February 2. He saw his
shadow and returned to his home to re-
main six weeks longer. This is not to
the liking of the county growers, who
are testing the capacity of the boilers.
The weather has been 10 degrees below
zero since February 2. A few of the
Kirkwood growers have reported losses
from cold houses and several shipments
have been bady frozen.

Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Windier spent a
few days in Chicago on their return
home from the carnation convention at
Indianapolis. Mr. Windier 's visit was
in the interest of the St. Louis spring
flower show, as head of the program
committee.
Considerable irfterest is centered in
the coming election of officers by the
Retail Florists' Association. Each of-
fice has several candidates and it is ex-
pected that the contests will be spirited.
The St. Louis representatives at the
American Carnation Society's meeting
have returned home. They report a
great show and are delighted with the
hospitality of the Indianapolis florists.

Cut flowers are becoming more plen-
tiful. One or two mild days last week
rushed bulbous flowers along and the
acute shortage that has existed for some
weeks seems to be over. We have been
experiencing the severest weather of
the winter, and this has not only
checked production appreciably, but at
the same time has hurt retail buying.
Rose prices have softened somewhat,
short-stemmed stock selling now at $4
to $5 per hundred against $6 to $8 per
hundred a couple of weeks ago. There
is no decided change in the better
grades, but trade in them drags more

than a week ago. Ophelia, Hadley, Eus-
sell, Killarney Brilliant and Stanley are
popular leaders. Whites are inclined to
be druggy. American Beauties are in
fair supply and demand. Carnations are
arriving more freely and prices have a
downward tendency. The majority sell
at $3 to $4 per hundred, with fancies a
little higher. Violets are not abundant,
but the demand is not specially robust.
Sweet peas are now of grand quality.
The Spencers are extra fine. Prices run
all the way from 50 cents to $2, with
a few specials at $2.50.
Bulbous flowers are more abundant
and prices show a recession all around.
Many varieties of tulips and narcissi
are now arriving. Freesias still are
abundant; so are Paper Whites and
Eomans. A few nice French irises are
seen and command fancy prices. Snap-
dragons are not plentiful; the finest
spikes make $2 to $2.50 per dozen. Mar-
guerites are coming in somewhat more
freely, also calendulas, forget-me-nots,
wallflowers and mignonette. Lilies &re
overplentif ul and lower in price. Pansies
are now coming in well. Some extra
fine flowers are noted. Prices now range
from 75 cents to $3 per hundred.
Gardenias are abundant and much
cheaper. The foliage is not perfect on
most of the flowers seen, the flowers
evidently having both the yellows and
a fungoid disease on the foliage. The
supply of valley is unchanged. The
plant trade is now quite good. A fine
assortment of bulbous plants is now
available. Cyclamens are great sellers,
also azaleas. Primula malacoides and
genistas.

Various Notes.
Tliomas Koland lias one of his big
houses at Kevere planted with white
and ])ink Spencer peas, from which the
first llowers will be cut this week. The
]>lants look magnificent. Roses only
will be grown at Kevere next season.
At present Kichniond and Ophelia are
doing especially well here. The stock
of Easter ])lants at Nahant looks extra
well and includes ramblers, acacias,
ericas, camellias, marguerites, liydran-
geas, bougainvilleas, etc. All tlie large
cyclamens are sold, but some good me-
dium and small plants are still left. A
])lant in a 3-inch pot February 2 car-
ried no less than thirty-six perfect
llowers.
A number of local nurserymen at-
tended the New England Nurserymen's
Association's convention at New Haven,
(Jonn., January 30 and 31. After an ani-
mate(l discussion carried on for two

The annual banquet of the Gardeners
and Florists' Club at Horticultural hall
February 7 comes just too late to be
reported in this issue of The Ecvicw.
Tickets sold quickly and the occasion
promised to be one of the most success-
ful ever lield, the decision to use the hall
in lieu of a hotel finding general favor.
The souvenir booklet for the banquet
was liberally supported by advertisers
in the trade.
H. 11. Eogers, of South Sudbury, is
cutting a fine crop of calendulas, wall-
llowers and mignonette. His leading
carnations this season are Enchantress,
Alice, Benora, White Enchantress, Bea-
con and Fenn.
Boston is glad to learn that it will
liavo the carnation convention here in
1918. This is one of the most progres-
sive of all the societies and tlie members
may rest assured that Boston will leave
no "stone unturned to make next year's
show the best ever. Incidentally, we
feel quite proud that our New England
contingent roped in so goodly a share
of the premiums at Indianapolis.
William H. Carr is receiving large
consignments of gigantcum lilies from
F. Macrae & Sons, of Providence, E. I.
Tansies are coming to the fore as a
winter flower in Boston. Several stores,
notably those of Wax Bros, and the
IIoughton-Gorney Co., specialize in large
bunches of them. In size of flowers and
length of stems wonderful advances are
being made. Such growers as William
Sim, of Cliftondale, and C. T. Beasley
& Co., of East Milton, grow pansies
remarkably well.
C. S. Andem, of Putnam, Conn., and
Frank P. Putnam, of Lowell, arc sending
in irises of remarkably fine quality,
grown from French bulbs. These irises

■ ' ■'" ■ - ■' ■ I _
The death of A. H. McMillan, of the
McMillan Seed Co., Atlanta, Ga., is re-
corded in this week's obituary column.
The British government has upset the
seed trade there by putting a price limit
on seed potatoes lower than many dealers
paid for their supplies.
On the whole, January was not so
heavy a month as most seedsmen ex-
pected it to be as the result of the well
known scarcity of seeds.
Onion sets for March 1 delivery are
being quoted at $4 to $4.50 for yellow
and red and $4.50 to $5 for white, with
the supply at these prices reported as
limited.
In the last two years the imports of
grass and clover seeds from New Zea-
land have fallen to less than a fourth
what they were in 1914, but the value has
declined only half. In other words, prices
have doubled.
The 1917 seed catalogues are marked
by a quite general reduction in the weight
of the stock used, thereby heading off
a part of the increased cost of paper.
Many of the books which heretofore have
taken zone rates have been brought un-
der eight ounces and go anywhere for 4
cents.
There are various reports as to Jan-
uary business. The houses that had their
catalogues out early had at least the
usual run of mail orders, but some of
the houses that count themselves impor-
tant factors in the seed trade were late,
some not even having mailed their books
until February.
Contract growers have had little diffi-
culty in booking all the business they
want, even at higher prices than have
been known for many years, but it is
less easy to interest farmers in taking
on acreages. The prices of food crops
are so high tlie farmer is not interested
in such a speculative proposition as beans,
for instance.
Prices on all seeds, but especially on
beans and sweet corn, still are climbing.
Contract acreage is exceedingly diffcult
to obtain because of the high price of
farm produce, onions last week selling as
high as $8 per hundred pounds, the high-
est price since the Civil war, and cabbage
selling for as high as $125 per ton in
Wisconsin and $100 in Texas.
The Senate has again voiced its dis-
approv.'il of the free seed graft by fail-
ing to agree to the provision in the
agricultural appropriation bill adopted
by tlic House, providing for the expend-
iture of $243,720 for seeds for congres-
sional distribution. In all probability
this item will be put back upon the

TOMATO SEED FOR YOUR 1917 CROP
Tou will get an enormous crop of Tomatoes from Bolgiano's Tomato Seed this year.
Our Seed was saved from one of the largest crops we have ever had. due to being
favored by weather conditions. The vines were loaded with Large. Solid, Red Fruit.
We know positively by planting Seed from this "Big Crop" your yield will be much
larger than K you had bought seed grown where the weather conditions were not
favorable.

We oflfer below a short list of the very best varieties for cutting. For complete list of va-
rieties see our New Wholesale CataloKue.
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.

SPINACH.
Eeports that the Dutch government
has placed an embargo on the exporta-
tion of spinach seed are not strictly ac-
curate; what has been done is to place
restrictions on the traffic. In order to
procure a permit to export spinach seed,
the Dutch seedsman is required to de-
posit with the government a certain
quantity of some article of food, for
which he is required to accept payment
at a rate that means the loss of a con-
siderable part of the profit on the spin-
ach. Nevertheless, considerable quan-
tities of spinach seed recently have ar-
rived from Holland. One Chicago house
received 2,200 pounds and there is record
of four other lots that have come since
the restrictions were imposed.
The talk of 75 cents to $1 per pound
for spinach so far has proved unwar-
ranted. A Detroit house is said to be
quoting 60 cents, but the lot of 2,200
pounds above referred to was placed on
sale at 52 cents. There will not, how-
ever, be enough to go around at present

A Holland authority asserts that
three-quarters of all the spinach seed
grown in the world has been produced in
Holland, German exporters using Dutch
seed to fill their orders. He predicts
the quantity of spinach seed grown in

COLD WAVE IN THE SOUTH.
As early as February 2 the seed trade
began to feel the effect of the cold wave
that extended farther into the south
than any other of recent times. In the
Texas market gardening section the
lowest readings were in the morning of
February 2, when 12 degrees was
reached at Amarillo, IG at Abilene, 20
at San Antonio, 22 at El Paso and 26
at Galveston, with 26 at New Orleans.
The cold wave then moved east, 14 de-
grees being registered at Jacksonville.
Fla., February 3. Great damage was
done to crops and telegraph orders for
seeds for replanting showered on the
seedsnuMi who cater to 'this branch of
the business. With many of the items
already short, the replacement call was
an added embarrassment this season.
IMPORTS VIA ROTTERDAM.
Perhaps it is the uncertain condition
of the ocean carrying business that is
resulting in unusually heavy imports at
this season. Practically all imports of
a horticultural nature from Europe at
present come via Rotterdam. Tlie Noor-
dam of the Holland-America line, which
reacned New York February 1, had the
following consignments:

Agent's per-
sistent effort, cou-
pled with his var-
ious excuses and
reasons for plac-
ing your order
now at a high
price, should in itself be rea-
son enough for you, Mr.
Florist, to ponder over.
Frankly, does it not sound possible
that there is something wrong some-
where?
Does it not look as if the Dutchmen
are especially anxious to get all the
business they can at a good, high
figure ?
Well, never mind the market. If it
goes down, do you get the benefit of
a lower price? If it rises, will you
get what you contracted for? It
does not matter which way it may
go— the auction houses, department
and 10-cent stores will still get
good stock at a low figure, while
you are buying early and paying
their price.

"giving lowest market quotations at time list is
Issued."
Currie Bros. Co., Milwaukee, Wis. — "Ciirrie's
Farm and Garden Annual," listing seeds, bulbs,
roots, hardy plants, roses, nursery stock, imple-
ments and miscellaneous supplies; ninety-six
pages, illustrated. "Beans, sweet corn and
peas," says the book, "will this year and here-
after be offered and sold by the pound instead
of by the measured unit, pint, quart, peck, etc.,
ns heretofore. This system Is being adopted by
leading seedsmen all over the country, and its
adoption from the seedsman's standpoint will
considerably simplify the handling of these va-
rieties. To avoid possible misunderstanding and
confusion, and as an aid to customers in making
out orders, we are showing on the bean, sweet
com and pea pages the quantity value of the
pound in terms of the pint and the number of
pounds to the bushel."
Audubon Nursery, Wilmington, N. C. — "De-
scriptive Handbook of Choice Ornamental Trees,
Shrubs and Plants," a notably accurate and
attractive catalogue, containing forty-eight long,
narrow pages, well illustrated and bound In a
tasteful, distinctive cover. It is well named a
"handbook," being in handy form for pocket and
pigeonhole. Fruit-bearing and nut-bearing stock
is included in the lists. Bamboos and pampas
grass are among the rarer items mentioned.
Danish Seed Import, Minneapolis, Minn. — An
illustrated wholesale list of Danish seeds and of
vegetable and flowering plants, "for market
gardeners and florists"; thirty- two pages and
cover. Cabbage and cauliflower are specialties.
"The last summer," says Chris. Mosbjerg, the
manager, "was an unfavorable season for seed
growing, causing a general shortage, but we have
been so fortunate as to get a fairly complete
stock." Beans, peas and corn are priced by the
pound.
L. J. Farmer, Pulaski, N. Y. — "Strawberries
and Other Fruit Plants," a 48-page illustrated
catalogue of fruit-bearing and ornamental stock,
vegetable roots anif plants, farm seeds, etc. The
first one-third of the book is devoted to straw-
berry plants and comprises a 4-page article
entitled "Seven Years' Experience with Fall-
bearing Strawberries."
Jackson tc Perkins Co., Newark, N. Y. — Bulle-
tin No. 2, to the trade only; "orders must be
made up in tens or multiples of ten at these
prices." This is a 12-page list of roses, peren-
nials and general nursery stock, including young
stock for nursery planting. "We grow large
quantities of roses," says the bulletin, "both for
planting out in our own nurseries and to sell to
other nurserymen."
G. H. Hunkel Co., Milwaukee, Wis. — Illustrated
catalogue of seeds, vegetable plants and roots,
summer-flowering bulbs and roots, farm and gar-
den tools, poultry supplies, etc. ; a compact,
business-like book of eighty pages, with concise
cultural directions. A warning is given as to
the scarcity of beans. Four years have elapsod
since the Hunkel Co. and the Wemich Seed Co.
were combined as one organization.
Job. W. Vestal & Son, Little Rock, Ark. — Two
attractive catalogues, general and wholesale.
Both are illustrated. The general catalogue is
bound in a particularly artistic cover and con-
tains eighty pages, besides four fine, full-page
halftone plates and a 4-page pink insert. Among
the stock offered in the general list, roses have the
first and largest space; then follow bedding and
decorative plants, perennials, nursery stock,
seeds, vegetable roots and plants. The 16-pago
wholesale list offers roses and an "assortment
of plants for all puriwses."
Hush Park Seed Co., Waco, Tex.— "Betail
Catalogue and Buyers' Guide," a 64-page illus-
trated book, listing seeds, bulbs, flowering and
vegetable plants, nursery stock, tools and sup-
plies. This suggestion is offered to southern
patrons: "Our slogan, 'Raise your own food
and put your cotton money in the bank,' is even
more pat this year, Texas having done this thing
to a greater extent than ever before. There is
the danger that 20-cent cotton may prove too
great a temptation for some of us, so that the
acreage for food and feed crops may be en-
croached upon."
B. Hammond Tracy, Wenham, Mass. — "Cedar
Acres Gladioli," a well illustrated, tasteful 32-
page catalogue, with cultural directions and with
suggestions regarding tlie best varieties in each
color. Besides the general stock of gladioli in
tlie alpljabetical list, the booklet offers assort-
ments of named varieties, and mixtures selected
according to color or other peculiarities. "We
are pleased to announce," says Mr. Tracy, "the
harvest of one of the largest and finest crops of
gladiolus bulbs ever stored away at Cedar Acres."

Bend, Ore. — M. Keeney has built a
range of glass houses here and has
opened for business under the title of
Eiverside Florist.
Redwood City, Cal. — A wholesale busi-
ness has becu started here by M.
Schmidt, who was associated with Mac-
Korie & McLaren for a number of years.
Mr. Schmidt will ship his stock to
nearby markets.
San Jose, CaL — The Metzner Floral
Co. is in receipt of the twelve gold and
silver medals awarded for exhibits at
the P. P. I. E. at San Francisco. The
awards were won on geraniums, seed-
ling gladioli, petunias, carnations and
pelargoniums.
Pullman, Wash. — J. H. Gooding, for
the last four years instructor of floricul-
ture at the Washington State College,
and previously a worker in the east, has
been in Spokane for six weeks, where
he underwent an operation for cancer
of the .iaw. Mr. Gooding is recuperating
satisfactorily.
SPOKAlfE, WASH.
The Market.
Last week marked the passing of the
chrysanthemum, which had been with
us for almost seven months. There seems
to be some quality in the atmospheric
conditions here which prolongs the mum
season. Honie-growu roses are practi-
cally out of consideration and will be
until bright weather strikes us again.
Carnations are about up to demand and
of good quality. Von Sions, Golden
Spurs and Paper Whites are plentiful,
with freesias and Romans to help out.
Conditions pointed to an abundance of
stock for St. Valentine's day.
Retailers say they are busy, despite
a drop in the temperature that tended
to check the over-the-counter trade for
a few days.
Various Notes.
Robert Briggs, who has been on the
sick list for six or seven weeks, is back
on the job at the Hoyt Bros. Co. store.
Henry Reimers filled a good order re-
cently for a full-sized pall of Killarney
roses .ind hyacinths.
H. L. Olsson was a recent visitor to
florists at Walla Walla.
Adolph Donart and Ernest Stapleton
have made a week's visit to florists in
the coast cities. L. B. H.
LOS ANGELES.
The Market.
A return to colder weather has again
shortened stock, l)ut evidently the cold
weather is not confined to southern Cali-
fornia. Orders from contiguous terri-
tory have not been quite so good as
those of the previous week, and this has
held the balance even as far as price
is concerned, while the quality of the
outdoor stock offered is decidedly better.
The biggest scarcity of all is in bulbous
stock, especially daffodils. It is easy to
prophesy if one is not losing anything by
the process, but it looks now as if a good
deal of the bulbous stock will come in
with a rush this year, and that the sea-
son will be short. Spring flowers, due
now, also will be in with the bulbous
stock, and growers of the latter who
are looking for contracts with whole-
salers will be lucky if they get through
on as good terms as usual.
A few sunny days have done more
for the indoor than the outdoor carna-
tions, giving the growers a chance to
dry out their benches and even give a
little fertilizer, which has improved the
color and texture of both plants and
flowers. The lengthening days also im-
2)rove the outdoor stock, giving the
grower a chance to cultivate and dry
out the soil. Indoor roses are about as
last reported; the supply is less, but
the demand has dropped off on account
of the unseasonable weather. A larger
supply and a better demand, with slight*
ly reduced prices, are among the proba-
bilities of the near future. Orchids are
decidedly scarce; also Cecile Brunner
roses and valley. This leaves, violets
about the only corsage flowers. Freesias
are coming in more plentifully now. Fu-
neral work has been good this week,
but shipping to some extent has been
hindered by snow storms farther north.
Various Notes.
Tassano Bros, have purchased the
nursery at Artesia that has been oper-
ated by E. Devalck for some years. The
place comprises ten acres in all, including
about three acres of lath houses, 7,500
feet of glass and a good residence.

The large demand for greens and cut
flowers enjoyed by this firm was doubt-
less the reason for the step. Tony Tas-
sano left this week for a business trip
to San Francisco.
Among our visitors this week are
E. C. Amling and H. N. Bruns, of Chi-
cago, accompanied by their wives and
families. Mr. Amling has had his car
shipped out and. proposes to make an
extended visit.
Thomas Wright, of Wright's Flower
Shop, started January 27 for Bear val-
ley and Baldwin lake. As many parts
of the desert and practically all of the
mountain roads are covered with snow,
this trip takes some hardihood, but Tom
said he would get there and did.
Paul Staiger has sold his interest in
the Washington street nursery to his
late partner, John Fincken, who will
run it from now on. He has also de-

The Florists' Review
Fkbulaiiy 8, 1917.
Fred Spcny, of the L. A. Floral Co.,
reports some interference with shipping
north on account of snow storms, but
so far this season the company has had
little trouble. Shipments hold up well
and keep everyone on the jump.
The advent of S. Murata & Co. on Los
Angeles street rounds out a regular mar-
ket locality. The sympathy of all in
the trade is extended to Mrs. Cart-
wright, the bookkeeper, whose husband
died January 27 from injuries received
in falling from a ladder.
H. W. Turner is sending in magnifi-
cent roses now, his September Morn,
Hoosier Beauty, Prima Donna and others
being the equal of anything seen in this
market. Mr. Turner has recovered suf-
ficiently from his recent injury to be
able to drive the big car again.
Darling 's Flower Shop has been show-
ing some of the finest cyclamens ever
seen on the Pacific coast. They are
magnificent plants in every way and are
marvels of cultural skill.
H. E. Bichards.
SEATTLE, WASH.
The Market.
Business continues to improve. There
is no overabundance of stock of any
kind and in some items there is a short-
age. Carnations are selling about the
best of any cut flowers at present, and
as the supply is none too plentiful there
are none left over from each day 's sales.
Eoses also are scarce; there are hardly
enough to go around. Daffodils, tulips
and hyacinths sell well at good prices.
There does not appear to be too much
bulbous stock in the market this year.*
Violets now are of excellent quality and
the demand for them is good. Many be-
gonias, cyclamens and primulas are com-
ing to hand and their sales are moder-
ately good.
Varioiis Notes.
A visit to the conservatories in Vol-
unteer park is now particularly inter-
esting to florists. Jacob Unlauff, the
superintendent in charge, has developed
a fine strain of cyclamen plants, and
the plants now on display as a result of
his selection of seed are the admiration
of all visitors. Florists, more critical
than the average visitors, see nothing to
complain of in colors, habit or health of
the plants. The park commissioners
have decided to build an additional
house, to be principally used for propa-
gating purposes.
J. J. Bonnell has some curious prod-
ucts at his nurseries just now. He has
received many novelties from Japan and
visitors find much to interest them in
the plants and in Mr. Bonnell 's descrip-
tions of the ways and doings of the ori-
entals.
The Seattle Landscape Gardeners'
Association has been formed and starts
out under favorable auspices. At a re-
cent meeting the following were elected
officers for the first year: President, "W.
C. Sherven; vice-president, L. Holland;
secretary, P. H. Williams; treasurer, J.
J. Bonnell; executive committee, E. W.
Smith, J. Sandahl and J. Lindley. About
twenty members have signed the charter
and it is expected many more will join
soon. The first meeting was held Feb-
ruary 6. Sessions will be held twice
monthly in the Chamber of Commerce
assembly rooms.
The Fremont Floral Co. is busy reno-
vating its benches in two of the houses.

The most rapturously and strikingly beautiful little
rose ever introduced. The color is absolutely new and
startling in its brilliancy- golden yellow, tipped with
clear cerise. The little buds and open flowers are ele-
gantly finished and of most perfect form. Habit of the
very best, strong and compact; freedom of bloom is
remarkable and continuous throughout the entire sea-
son. We have given it a fair and thorough trial and
have no hesitancy in o£Fering it as the one best selling
rose you ever handled. It is a money-maker.

procuring supplies and sometimes there
were disappointments. As has been said,
this slight shortage has been "healthy

the retailers report that January was

carnation supply has been relieved and
some days there are enough of them to
meet all demands. The cuts of roses
are still light. Plenty of California-
grown violets are shown and the sup-
ply of Oregon violets has increased.
Potted tulips, daffodils and cinerarias
•lead in blooming plants. A few Dutch
hyacinths have come in.
Various Notes.
The seedsmen have finished mailing
their spring catalogues. Some of them
face a rather embarrassing situation
due to the sudden and unexpected ad-
vance in the cost of many kinds of seed.
Their retail prices were based on their
contract figures with the growers, but
they realize that the quantities con-
tracted for will fall far short of supply-
ing them for the season and that they
cannot go into the market and buy what
ihey need at figures which would permit
them to sell at their catalogue prices.
Beet seeds, spinach seeds, onion sets,
seed potatoes and some sorts of beans
are some of the items that worry the
retail seedsmen.
At a meeting of the Oregon Sweet Pea
Society held January 26, it was decided
to affiliate with the American Sweet
Pea Society. All the sweet pea societies
of this state will be urged to unite with
the Oregon society. A sweet pea show
will be held in the new Auditorium
at the time of the National Education
Association convention next June. This
will be the first flower show to be held
in the new municipal building. A cam-
paign to enlarge the membership of the
Oregon Sweet Pea Society will be
launched. J. H. Dundore is president and
Mrs. Harriet Hendee secretary of the
society.
A portion of the dock at the Charles
H. Lilly Co. seed store collapsed from
the weight placed upon it and a quan-
-tity of goods was injured by immersion
In the water.
Spring yellows are shown everywhere
and several stores have a window deco-
rated exclusively with them.
Harry Newel, formerly with the Hahn

J. J. Butzer says his January mail or-
ders number more than twice as many
as the combined three previous Jan-
uarys.
Axel Alenius, for the last two years
foreman at the establishment of the
Wilson, Crout & Gehr Co., plans to leave
March 1 for New Mexico, where he ex-
pects to make his future home. He will
join his father-in-law in the develop-

The Market.
There has been little change in the
condition of the market during the last
week. A little rain fell, but the weather
turned cold immediately afterwards,
which largely offset the little good the
moisture might have done violets and
other outdoor flowers. As it is, stock
generally is barely sufficient to meet re-
quirements, and it is conceded by florists
that more bulbous flowers could be util-
ized to advantage. Daffodils are about
the most plMitilul item, but the supply
is readily absotbed eaeh day and prices
are holding up longer than those of
former years, in view of the slow arrival

of other ofiferings of a competitive na-
ture, such as tulips, hyacinths, narcissi,
etc. One day daffodils dropped to $1 per
hundred, but they went back to $1.50
again the next day, when the cold short-
ened all lines. Violets are scarce and
rather poor in quality.
Few roses are being retailed under
$1.50 per dozen and the offerings at this
figure are limited. Hadley, Ophelia,
White Killarney and Eed Eadiance all
show excellent quality and clean up at
comparatively high prices. Carnations
continue to occupy about the same posi-
tion. Good stock retails at 35 cents per
dozen and extra fine flowers bring 50
cents, the latter including Sensation and
Edna Brown. Harrisii lilies are being
featured quite extensively and a good
demand is reported. Indoor sweet peas
clean up readily at unusually high
prices. Orchids are shown in a wide
assortment and all varieties manage to
find an outlet. Some valley is offered,
but it is still on the short side of the
market. In blooming plants, fine cycla-
mens and cinerarias are offered, and
many rhododendrons are beginning to
arrive. Potted tulips and hyacinths
have the preference, however. Quanti-
ties of pussy willows and acacias are
used and cut heather maintains its pop-
ularity.

Strong-Rooted Oak Brand Shrubs
THE FRIEND-MAKING KIND
THE friend-making kind are the money-making kind, because they bring the
friends they make back to you for more shrubs.
Oak Brand Shrubs make come-back friends, first and foremost, because of
their surpassing sturdiness.
Every shrub has a compact mass of strong, healthy, food-absorbing roots
that insure safe transplanting and strong top growth.
Every shrub is right— in quality and price.

The Story
Of The Oak Tree
On oir grounds hero at West
Orove is a towering oak, planted
evidently about the time of Wil-
liam I'enn. If five of us should
join hands, we still eouhl not reach
around its trunk.
Its wonderful growtli is trul.v
typical of the tree growth in and
around West Grove. And it is
common knowledge that tree
growth is a most reliable index to
soil value. Big trees, good soil.
I.ittle trees, poor soil.
In the same ideal soil that pro-
duced this gigantic oak our shrubs
make tlieir strong, fibrous root
growth. That's why we have
adopted tlie oak tree as a symbol
of their sturdiness, and call them
Oak Brand Slirnhs.

[The following is an extract from a paper,
"Would a National Retail Association Benefit
the Entire Trade?" by J. B. Mayhew, Waxa-
hachle, Tex., read before the Western Association
«f Nurserymen, January 24.]
The world is divided largely into two
classes: Those who do not believe in
organization, who are ' ' agin ' ' all forms
of organized effort, and those who allow
their ideas of organization to run riot.
And, again, those who believe that or-
ganization, to be effective, should take
special cognizance of their particular
business, doing for them what they
have not been able to do for themselves.
The members of this and similar organ-
izations take the position that organiza-
tion must be along lines of and for the
common good, and that the individual
benefits resulting from organized effort
are incident thereto.
It is hard for us to get away from the
paternalistic in government, whether it
be organization for the proper safe-
guarding of society, which finds expres-
sion in municipal, state and federal
laws, or organization within social, busi-
ness or religious lines. The question of
what this particular organization is do-
ing for me, rather than what it is doing
for the common good, is a question that
will not down. We are inclined to view
life from our own circumscribed en-
vironment and I think I am not far
wrong when I say that this question
of retail organization was first con-
ceived in a spirit of retaliation against
imagined wrongs. "The retailer is not
getting a square deal in the American
Association of Nurserymen, because all
the affairs of the association are in the
hands of those who represent wholesale
interests." Have you not heard such
an expression, coupled with the veiled
threat that unless certain policies be-
lieved to be inimical to the interests
of the retailer were aboli.shed, the re-
tailers would secede and form an asso-
ciation among themselves? I believe,
men, that beyond any sort of question
this position is dead wrong and that
only harm to the nursery interests as
a whole could come from a further agi-
tation of this question.
The A. A. N. Workers.
I hold no brief to defend those who
have in the past been responsible for
the affairs of the American Association
of Nurserymen, but this one thing I
know, and you know, that there never
lived a truer and more unselfish corps
of men than those who have been re-
sponsible for the association's affairs.
They have labored while many of us
slept in peace; they have spent their
own money and traveled many thou-
sands of miles to protect the interests
of even the humblest man engaged in

Do It Now!
Go over your Rose Houses carefully and estimate the plants you need
for replanting this Spring, and place your order. Roses are going to be
scarce. The Manetti situation is such that those who get it are fortunate, and the
demand is far greater than the limited supply. We have sold over 100,000 grafted
Roses in the last two weeks. We have 200.000 more to sell. There is considerable
building contemplated. "Changing from Carnations to Roses" is a frequent expla-
nation made when placing an order. If you are short at planting time it will be
your fault and not ours. The growing of grafted Roses is an industry in itself. At
Cromwell the large quantity of Roses grown for cut flowers makes it possible to get
scions that are first-class. We want your Rose Plant order, and we want to be able
to say "yes" to your inauiry. Estimate your requirements and write us.

the liaiullinj; t»f trees. It lias made no
differenee whether one has been faithful
in meeting the financial obligations of
the association or not, he has received
through the efforts of our association
workers benefits great beyond computa-
tion. Whether he be retailer or whole-
saler, whetiier he be dealer or agent,
if he deals in trees and plants his busi-
ness is worth more today because of the
eternal vigilance of our association offi-
cers.
Is there any considerable difference
among us anyway, friends, whether one
ships his stock in carload or by local
freight and express? Are not our in-
terests in a large degree at least mu-
tual? C;an we afford to view with e(|ua-
nimity an effort to divide our forces
when every thinking man must realize
the hazard of such a division? Let us
as retailers and wholesalers get awav
from our own little affairs and, shoulder
to shoulder, work together for the up-
building of the nursery interests of
America. Let us quit talking about
"big fellows versus little fellows,"
for none of us is big unless our perspec-
tive of life is true, unless we can lose
sight of selfish interests in service to
our fellows, and none of us is little ex-
cept that we be selfish.
No Other Organization Needed.
On a former occasion I declared mv-
self against further organization, arid
am of the same opinion today, because
I think the ground is entirely covered
and the interests of all are "protected
within our present organizations. As
one interested principally in the sale of
stock through retail endeavor, I feel
that I have at all times received a
square deal and am entirely satisfied
that there is no present need of any
member of the fraternity but that can
be met satisfactorily through our pres-
ent organizations.
During a period of more than fortv
years, the combined efforts of the nur-
serymen of America have resulted in
gathering together a membership of
between 450 and .100. Every possible
effort has been made to interest every
worthy man engaged in the nursery busi-
ness or in closely allied trades. The great
need of our officers througli all tlic past
has been money, and much more would
have been accomplished liad it not been
for tliis handicaji. At the Detroit meet-
ing in .Tune. 191.', I had the hf)nor of
presenting a jilan for the reorganization
of the association which provided a bet-
ter financial system than we had had
in the past, and tlie plan was adopted by
practically a unanimous vote of the
members ]iresent. It is believed by the
oxe(Mitive committee that when this
plan is in thorough working order it
ivill provide approximately .$10,000 an-
nually, an amount sufficient to meet
■creditably the needs of our officers. No
plan for raising funds could be fairer
than that provided by our new consti-
tution, where every member's assess-
ment is based upon his earnings.
Funds Would Be Lacking.
We are just beginning to get the
machinery of this new organization to
working smootlily, when along comes
the suggestion that the majority of the
members secede and form an organiza-
tion of those who are interested espe-
cially in the retail end of the business.
What effect all this would have on the
affaiis of the association is, to be sure,
a matter of conjecture. The way the
question presents itself to my mind is
S. A. NUTT
We have a surplus of about 50,000 S. A. Nutt Geraniums, in
3-inch pots, extra strong, fall propagated, which have been
topped back and are now branched. Also about 50,000

NEW ROSES
DONALD MacDONALD
A new Hawlmark Red Rose sent out this year by Alex. Dickson and Sons.
This rose has been tested for winter forcing for two years, and it produces more
red roses during the winter than any rose now being grown. It is not a large
rose, but has perfectly formed, medium sized flowers that sell at sight. Color
bright orange carmine; will not turn blue because the base of the petals is
orange.
It is not a summer rose, as it has the same substance as Killarney, and irom
Thanksgiving until May it is a money maker for the rose grower, as no pinching
is necessary.

The root development is complete and roots started — just brought in from
field beds. Hyacinths run one to a pot. Daffodils and Tulips will average three
flowers to the pot. These are shipped in 100 lots in paper pots, and are ready
for forcing in time for Easter.
JUST AS CHEAP AS THE BULBS - ONLY SELECTED STOCK
Order your shipment immediately, as the plants are immune from frost
when shipped in this semi-developed state. Retail florists who have no green-

with the principle enunciated, that
wholesale trade lists should go only to
bona fide nurserymen. I am not in ac-
cord with the methods proposed for
gathering tlie information as to who are
entitled to trade lists, but this is a dif-
ferent question. What I started out to
say is that I am in hearty sympathy
W'ith this reform, which is not new, but
which has occupied a place on every pro-
gram, both state, district and national,
for the last twenty-five years, and I am
definitely sure that ninety per cent of
our wholesale friends would not know-
ingly send wholesale lists to any person
not entitled to them. Is it not probable
that such irregularities can be corrected
within the association as it at present
exists? The wholesale nurseryman
would not run through one season with-
out his best customer, the retailer, and
I take it that whatever policies are pur-
sued by the few, and which work a
hardship or loss on the retailer, will
be heartily condemned by one and all
alike.
Whatever is necessary to make our
present organization more useful in
serving tlie interests of all, that let us
do, but let that be done in union. The
present is perhaps the most critical pe-
riod in the whole life of the nursery
business. Beset on all sides by unfair
legislation, each state vying with every
other state in the enactment of laws
which are proving an onerous burden,
entails a fight for our very existence.
Many of our leading nurserymen are
giving up the fight because of pecuniary
losses and are turning their attention
to other lines of business, and many
more of us would follow their example,
perhaps, if we knew how to effect the
change without ruin.
In such a time it behooves us to stand
squarely behind our chosen officers, fur-
nishing them the sinews of war and urg-
ing them on to victory. I am not in
sympathy with further organization,
but I am in sympathy with the thought
that we should all labor together to the
end that membership in the American
Association of Nurserymen may repre-
sent all that is true and best in a noble
and upright profession.

The Market.
Last week we experienced the coldest
weather of the winter. Notwithstand-
ing this, business was exceedingly act'
ive and the demand was stronger than
that of any week this season, with the
exception of holiday week. The days
have been dark and this, added to the
extreme cold, has made the shortage of
carnations and roses more marked.
Bulbous stock, however, has filled in
the breach; tulips, daffodils and Dutch
hyacinths are used in decorative work
to a great extent. Callas and Easter
lilies are utilized for funeral clusters.
Snapdragons also are helping out in
the shortage of roses. Cattleyas are
plentiful and sweet peas are abundant
in the Spencer varieties. Violets meet
with a good call, both singles and dou-
bles. Azaleas are coming to the front
in the pink and white varieties, and
rhododendrons are making a good show-
ing. Potted freesias, Golden Spur daffo-
dils, baby primroses, cyclamens and yel-
low narcissi are selling well.
Various Notes.
The Doswell Floral Co. last week had
a fine window display of bulbous flowers.
This company is having a heavy run on
funeral work.
Miss Catherine Vesey spent last week
at Muncie, Ind., the guest of her sister.
Clem Lanternier is on the sick list
from stomach trouble and has been put
on a diet for three weeks.
Miss Helen Patten, proprietress of
the Patten Flower Shop, Toledo, O.,
spent several days here last week, visit-
ing her mother, Mrs. Mary Patten, and
other relatives. Miss Patten reports that
business in Toledo is booming, but the flo-
rists are experiencing a serious shortage
of stock.
Some excellent Ophelia and Russell
roses are being sent to this market from
the F. J. Knecht & Co. greenhouses
south of the city. Their carnations in
the Enchantress varieties are also of
fine quality.
Markey Bros, have their azaleas in
fine shape now and their bulbous stock
from the Hale avenue greenhouses is
showing up well. Funeral work has
been in heavy demand.
The Flick Floral Co. is advertising in
the trolley cars. This concern had a
number of large decorations last week.
Some fine rhododendrons, azaleas and
snapdragons were noted at this estab-
lishment. B. F.

Superb is a seedling of Gloriosa and Enchantress. It has the good stem of Glori-
osa and the fine growing habit of Enchantress. The color is a flesh pink and it
keeps its color at all seasons. The flowers average about three inches, are very full
and generally receive full score on substance. The flowers are all perfect and do

BUFFALO.
The Market.
Business was brisk until the week
end; then it diminished somewhat.
American Beauties are still clinging to
the short side, as well as Ophelia, Ward,
Sunburst and Killarney. Eussell roses
are also more or less scarce and those
that do reach the market are off color,
due mostly to the lack of sun. Carna-
tions sell at an advanced figure and
clear readily. A large percentage of
the carnations, however, are weak-
stemmed, small and split. Ward, White
Wonder and Enchantress are leading in
quality as well as quantity.
The supply of valley has increased
considerably, as well as cattleyas, and
both items continue to sell well. Free-
sias, Roman hyacinths and sweet peas
are a dominating factor in the market
at the present time. Violets are doing
nicely. Jonquils, daffodils and Paper
Whites and yellow narcissi are more
than plentiful, but they move along
nicely. Easter lilies as yet are quite
scarce. Some snapdragons may be seen
occasionally. There is a large and good
assortment of pot plants, some of which
would have been more than welcome
at Christmas and some of which we shall
be glad to have at Easter. The supply
of greens has been equal to requirements.
Various Notes.
Work is being started on the con-
servatory for the new store of W. J.
Palmer & Son, on Delaware avenue. The
store has a 30-foot frontage and is 100
feet deep. The conservatory in the
rear will also measure 30x100. The firm
hopes to take possession of the new
store by April 1.
Messrs. Cannon and Wilke, both of the
S. A. Anderson staff, have been on the
sick list.
David Scott, of Corfu, has been ill
for the last two weeks. The growers
at Corfu have experienced considerable
difficulty in securing fuel, and during
this severe winter weather they -are
using more than ever.
F. G. Nelson, of the Burlington Willow
Ware Shops, Burlington, la., called on
the trade this week. A. E.
Lincoln, Neb. — Hiltner Bros., who are
doing a prosperous retail business, will
this season increase their facilities by
the erection of a show house adjoining
the store. The Foley Greenhouse Mfg.
Co., Chicago, is milling the material.

fireenhouse Heating.
Subscribers are invited to write the
Editor of this Department with regard to
any details of greenhouse heating that
are not understood. But please do not
ask The Review to make a choice of ap-
paratus for you. The greenhouse heating
equipment advertised in this paper is, we
believe, the best for the trade to buy,
and each article the best in the special
field of its adaptation.
PIPING A SOUTHERN HOUSE.
I wish to ask you what will be the best
way to pipe a greenhouse, 16x50, which
I am about to build here, in northern
Georgia. The house will run from north-
east to southwest. There will be a work-
room at the northeast end. All other
parts of the house, the sides and one
end, will be exposed to sun and wind
alike. I shall use a Wilks boiler, 20x30.
The center bed will be six feet wide
and the two side beds will each be three
feet wide. Please tell me just how to
pipe the house. Will one 2-inch flow
be enough? R. D. M. — Ga.
We are at a loss to know what to
recommend in tliis case, since the in-
formation regarding the house and its
requirements is incomplete in some re-
spects. Provided the house is well
built and tlicre is no glass in the side
walls, we would expect to be able to
secure a temperature of 55 degrees, when
the outside temperature is 10 degrees
above zero, by running a 2-inch flow pipe
on each wall plate and connecting each
flow with three IVj-inch returns. For
60 to 63 degrees an additional return
will be needed for each flow, as well
as for each two feet of glass in each
wall.
In case the top of the boiler is two
or three feet below the lower end of
the returns it would be possible to supply
two coils, each of which contains throe
l^/^-inch returns, ]iy means of a single
2-inch flow jiipe placed near the ridge,
but wo would expect a greater economy
in fuel and a more even distribution of
heat if two flows are used.
THE HEIGHT OF THE FLOWS.
Kindly let us know which, in your
opinion, is the better system of piping
for greenhouse heating — the overhead
flows, or flows just above the ground
level. Is there any difference in the
quantity of coal used with the two sys-
tems, to maintain a stated temperature?
M. & C— Conn.
The whole matter of overhead and
under-bench flow pipes rests largely
upon the fart that the higher tlie re-
turns above tlie heater, everything else
being equal; the better the circulation
and the more even the distribution of
heat. The result is a saving in the
amount of fuel used. From this it will
be seen that when the returns are sev-
eral feet ;ibove the top of the henter,

the use of overhead flows is not so ab-
solutely necessary as when the returns
are on a level with, or below, the top
of the heater.
Warm air, of course, tends to rise.
Therefore, in order to keep the heat
where it can be utilized by the plants,
the returns should either be under the
benches or on the walls, not more than
two or three feet from the floor. Ordi-
narily we prefer to run the flow pipes
downhill, and in order to secure the
needed fall for the flow and return pipes
we think it well to place the flow pipes
for supplying the coils for the walls or
side benches on the wall plates, unless
the returns are below the top of the
heater, in which case the flow may be
carried near the ridge.
For houses more than ten feet wide,
if there is a middle bench for which
bottom heat is desired, a flow may be
run overhead to supply a center coil, in
addition to the flow pipes on the plates.
In still wider houses, in which there are
four or five benches, other flows may be
carried on the purlin posts, or suspended
from the purlins. As a rule, we prefer

to keep the flows away from the glass,
but they should not be so low as to in-
terfere with the growth of the plants,
or with their care. In all except the
narrowest houses, the middle flow pipe
may be two to four feet below the
ridge, but if the pipes at the purlins
are more than one foot below the glass
they will generally be in the way.
In most cases the best results will be
obtained by locating the flows several
feet above the returns, but this is not
necessary vsrhen the returns are well
above the boiler.

The Market.
Roses are more plentiful at this writ-
ing, but they clean up every day at sat-
isfactory prices. American Beauties
continue in brisk demand and bring top-
notch figures. Russell roses are arriving
in large quantities, but there are none
too many to go around. Killarney Bril-
liant roses are reaching the market in
exceptionally fine condition and the re-
ceipts of Ophelia appear to be heavier.
Carnations are plentiful enough to sup-
ply the demand, but they are not so nu-
merous as they were. As a result prices
are better, although as yet not what
they should be. Tulips, jonquils, daffo-
dils and freesias are more numerous and
the call for these is heavy. The first
Rainbow freesias made their appearance
this week and sold as soon as they were
offered for sale. Valley was unusually
scarce last week; it was almost impossi-
ble to supply the demand. Orchids are
in good supply and there are plenty of
gardenias to go around. Easter lilies
and callas are selling quickly on account
of the large quantity of funeral work.
Sweet peas are seen in large quantities
everywhere, but they have a good call
and there is never any surplus to speak
of. Snapdragons, mignonette, pansies
and daisies are included in the many of-
ferings. Pussy willows are featured
everywhere and move readily at prices
ranging from 25 to 50 cents per bunch.
Various Notes.
The outlook for St. Valentine's day
business is promising, and florists have
rosy anticipations as to the sales on this
day. Everywhere the windows are deco-
rated with hearts, heart-shaped corsage
boxes, and novelties that are exception-
ally catchy. Together with extensive
advertising, this day's business is ex-
pected to triple that of last year's. Cor-
sages of roses, peas, combinations of
violets and freesias, and forget-me-nots
are being advocated. Potted plants and
baskets of flowers are also displayed to
good advantage for this day.
The Helmer Flower Shop had an ar-
tistic valentine decoration at the Wom-
en's building last week. The stage was
artistically decorated with palms and
hearts of red carnations, and large
hearts of the same flowers arranged with
electric lights were suspended from the
ceiling.
Another elaborate decoration that
took place the same week at the Wom-
en's building was carried out by
Schramm Bros., for an annual dance of
the Knights of Columbus. The orchestra
was hidden by a large bank of palms and
azaleas, which covered the entire width
of the stage. Large clusters of Mrs.
Russell roses in tall vases were at each
end of the stage. The emblem of the
lodge was done in flowers and suspended
from the ceiling in the center of the hall.
Mrs. Ernest Glauser, who for some
time has been confined to the hospital,
was taken to her home last week. Her
condition is much improved.
Otto Krueger has returned from the
carnation meeting at Indianapolis. Mr.
Krueger was much delighted with the
exhibition and has much praise for the
florists of the Hoosier city.
Harry Heinl has been confined to his

The Florists' Review
FBBRnASY 8, 1917.
INDIANAPOLIS.
The Market.
Business has been extremely good dur-
ing the last week, and the indications
are that it will be the same this week.
Decorative and funeral work has been
heavy; all in all, the demand has been
in excess of the supply. Roses have been
bringing from $4 to $20 and are hard
to procure at that. A retailer remarked
that he had never known roses to be so
scarce as at the present time. Carna-
tions, in fair supply, are bringing from
$3 to $4, owing to the scarcity of other
flowers.
Callas and Easter lilies are now rarely
conspicuous in the market. Spring flow-
ers are more abundant and are experi-
encing an excellent call. Jonquils and
tulips take the lead and bring from $3
to $5 per hundred. Cut hyacinths are
popular at from $5 to $12.50. Paper
White narcissi are cleaning up daily
at $3 per hundred; the yellow ones are
not moving so well at the same price.
The frcesias always receive attention
and are especially good property at $1.50
to $4. Sweet peas are becoming more
plentiful, their prices ranging from 50
cents to $1.50. Home-grown violets are
active at 60 cents to $1 per hundred.
More snapdragons are being seen, along
with pansies and calendulas. More or-
chids are available, but valley remains
about the same. Potted bulbous stock,
obconica and malacoides primroses, cyc-
lamens, azaleas and a few cinerarias
are in steady demand.
Various Notes.
With the mercury down to 8 degrees
below and a raging wind to combat with,
the florists had a hard time last week
preventing freeze-outs. At the Pahud
Floral Co. range a house of cyclamens
and a great number of ferns were
frozen. This was due to poor coal, which
clinkered on the grates and made it im-
possible to raise steam.
The E. G. Hill Co. reports an extreme-
ly good week in spring flowers, the de-
mand being greater than that of previ-
ous years. The greenhouses at Rich-
mond are producing some of the finest
Golden Spur narcissi seen in the market.
Hartje k Elder have an exceptionally
fine house of sweet peas in bloom.
While en route to the Bertermann
Bros. Co. place at Cumberland last
week, 0. E. Steinkamp's machine had
a rear-end collision with another ma-
chine and was badly damaged.
The Circle Flower Store had an ap-
propriate window last week in observ-
ance of the birthday of Robert Burns.
Flowers harmonizing with plaid ribbon
and Scotch heather made an extraordi
nary display.
During the warm spell just previous
to the cold snap, a return pipe at the
Temperley establishment burst and
caused a great deal of anxiety. As the
weather was favorable, the pipe was
mended before any damage to the stock
was done.
Albert Stanley, who has been ill for
the last ten days, now is much better and
is able to get around. E. E. T.
Hannibal, Mo.— Vernon S. Griffen, of
Griff"en's Flower Shop, says that busi-
ness this year is double that of a year
ago. The stor is at 316 Broadway and
the greenhouse range of 15,000 feet of
glass, at an outlying location. Work
has been started on another house, 9x100
feet, for vegetable plants.

HAVE YOU
Ever hauled to market a load of plants in round clay pots and noted how
many times you said something when you found the plants standing on
the blossom end. all smashed and gone ?
These unpleasant memories will vanish if you use our square paper bands
and pots in which to grow all of your spring plants. Our paper pots will set
square, stay square and ride square. You will have better plants at lower cost,
and when you carry them to market you will not have to lug the heavy clay
pots, as one clay pot will weigh more than a whole flat of paper ones.
The Ramsburg Locking Pot
is the ideal soil -container. It is made of first quality manila board, and will
last the entire season and remain in shape to market the plants in. We have
a size for every requirement, both in bands and pots. Send a postal for sam-
ples and price list.
The advantages are all with the square paper pots. Give them a trial.

KANSAS CITY, MO.
The Market.
The demand for cut flowers has been
strong throughout the week, the heavy
funeral work being the chief cause of
the great activity. There was little call
for cut flowers for decorations, but
decorative work has been heavy until
the present week. There is more stock
coming in, but not enough to satisfy the
demand, especially for roses. Carna-
tions are cleaning up well. The supply
has increased, but prices remain the
same. Bulbous stock is more plentiful
and of better quality. Some good hya-
cinths are seen. Sweet peas are more
plentiful and clean up at all times.
Various Notes.
Arthur Newell took advantage of the
extremely cold weather to remodel his
store. He made some changes and re-
decorated the store without interfering
with the business going on.
Samuel Murray reports that funeral
work during the last two weeks has been
unusually good.
The Rosery has some good bulbous
stock. The hyacinths are especially iine
for so early in the season. This con-
cern makes a success of bulbous stock
every year.
James Payne has his greenhouses iu
good shape. His carnations have djne
especially well this season. He has a
good lot of cyclamens in 5-inch pots and
is busy getting his bedding stock in
shape. This will be Mr. Payne 's last
season at his present location. He is
looking for another location, the ground
he now occupies being too expensive on
which to operate greenhouses. The
range is being surrounded by different
lines of business that do not attract
enough people to justify him in rcinaiii-
ing there.
W. J. Barnes reports a big January
business, an increase of thirty per cent
over that of last year. He has some
nice rhododendrons coming into bloom
and will have them until after Easter.
His Easter plants are looking well.
E. Humfeld reports that January busi-
ness was the best he has had since he
began business. There was a large quan-
tity of funeral work during tlie month.
T. J. Noll & Co. have received their
new line of Easter baskets and suy)plies.
Mr. Noll is building up a large trade in
the supply line. He reports that his con-
signments in roses are far short of the
demand.
Henry Kusik & Co. report a scarcity
of roses in all grades, but plenty of car-
nations and bulbous stock. W. J. B.

You wouldn't expect a
sick horse to pull a full
load.
Are you expecting that
tired, starved soil to pro-
duce the greatest number
of flowers or vegetables,
the remainder of the grow-
ing season — a most criti-
cal time for you?
Why not safeguard
yourself right now?
Buy the Magic Fer-
tilizers specially mixed
for your particular
soil and plants, and
feed the Magic way.
Take the word of hun-
dreds of your fellow grow-
ers: "There is no invest-
ment you could make that
would yield better and
surer returns, namely,
bigger and better crops,
than to invest in the
Magic Fertilizers."
We'll gladly send you the
booklet, "Fertilization and

Modern Greenhouse," and

DETROIT.
The Market.
The cold weather that hit Detroit last
week resulted in a few frozen shipments.
Business has been fair and stock more
plentiful. Carnations, sweet peas and
bulbous stock, although of fine quality,
are inclined to drag. Roses clear read-
ily. These are of fine quality but high
in price. Valley is scarce and the de-
mand for it is light. Violets are plen-
tiful, but the quality is only fair. Hya-
cinths, tulips and other bulbous plants
are selling well.
Various Notes.
Among those from Detroit who at-
tended the carnation show at Indian-
apolis were E. A. Fetters, Robert
Rahaley, Thomas Browne, Albert
Pochelon and Albert Stahelin.
Harold Grens has gone to Chicago for
a few days to look over the market. He
accompanied J. F. Sullivan, of this city.
Bowling Scores.
The Detroit Bowling Club met Febru-
ary 1. The following scores were made:

The Bisons won two out of three,
thereby again gaining first place.
H. T.
CLEVELAND.
Market conditions remain unchanged.
Bulbous stock is plentiful and carna-
tions and roses arc in heavy crop. Val-
ley and lilies are in supply sufficient for
all demands.
The Florists' Club meeting February
5 was well attended, more than fifty
members being present to hear a paper
on chrysanthemums by Elmer D. Smith,
of Adrian, Mich. E. G. HiU, of Rich-
mond, Ind., will address the club on
roses at the March meeting.
The Detroit bowlers journeyed to our
fair city February 7 and competed with
local stars for the silver trophy offered
by the Michigan Cut Flower Exchange.
Cleveland had the edge, having by a
previous engagement won three games
to Detroit's one. The trophy goes to the
team winning four games out of seven.

Saves Labor in Handling
Small Aster Plants
Following is an extract from a letter
received from J. G. Botkln, of Urbana,
Ohio:
"One of our great savings in labor
with Skinner Irrigation has been In
handling the small aster plants. This
plant is very Buscoptible to heat and
drought. Formerly we potted off all
the small plants in 2-iDCh stand of
plants when planting out, even in
hot weather. Now we take good
seedling plants and by using the ir-
rigation right after the planting, we
can get a much better stand at great-
ly reduced cost."

This Metropolitan semi- iron commer-
cial greenhouse. 18 x 200 feet, was
erected for the Springfield Floral Co.,
of Springfield, N. .1.
Note the neat general appearance of this
greenhouse, particularly of the walls.
This is made possible by the Metropolitan
patented cast iron eave, which, besides
being ice-clearing, also has a combination
drip conductor feature which carries off
all waters of condensation from the inside
of the roof. Notice, too, that no wood
headers are necessary with this eave.

This is not the time to build greenhouses, but it is a good time to think about it. Dietsch construction has
stood the test for years. Not only are Dietsch houses among the oldest standing today, but you will find each
house an improvement over the last. Our construction is advancing with the times. We advocate nothing
that has not proved its value. There will be better houses than we are now building, and they will be built
by us.
It will pay you to investigate Dietsch greenhouse materials and methods of construction.

Sash Opening Device and
Greenhouse Fittings
Did you ever stop and notice this cut of the Big Advance Sash Opera-
tor ? Just at a glance you see a neatly constructed operator. Then start-
ing to look, you see a well built machine plate with worm and gear, then
you see a good heavy chain made of the best steel. The hand wheel shows
mechanical construction in strongness and appearance. Then going to the
top of the machine, examine the roller pipe bearing, the strong but neatly
designed sprocket wheel, the angle bracket and oiher parts. Well, the
arms and hangers you notice are made for years' use.
Now that you have noticed each and every part, just picture it in your
new or old house. Wouldn't it make a difference ? Something that gives
years of satisfactory service. All up-to-date florists know the importance
of proper ventilation and, therefore, select this unequaled device. Thirteen
years devoted to this line means we have a device that is well worth
inspection.
We cannot explain how much time and trouble our greenhouse fittings
will save you, for there isn't enough space on this page. You know our
line, however, and can see what they mean to you.
Our catalogue gives further and more detailed information. .Tust take
one minute of your valuable time and write us for Catalogue U.
Slight increase in our prices was made recently and this catalogue
gives full particulars.

plus quick action-
— was the success formula of P. D. Armour,
one of the greatest business geniuses in
America.
Regular price
$2.35 a gal.
Special
$2.10 a gal.
The successful generals are using it today on the battle-fields
of Europe; and it's a formula that works just as well in the
greenhouse business as it ever did in the packing house business
or the war game.
You owe much of your success to this formula — you use it
every day — so do the other successful men that read this page.
And here's another chance for you to use it.
YOU don't 'veant to mark down the market value
of your gfreenhouse with CHEAP paint. You
want the OUTSIDE of YOUR greenhouse to
indicate the g^rade of stock you grow INSIDE—
the very highest.
Use the same quick judgment in buying your
paint that you do in cutting your stock— you
don't w^ait until it's too lata. Use the same
quick action in buying your paint that you do
in getting your stock to market— you don't rest
till it's there.
A fixed amount of American Snow
White Paint has been set aside by us
to be sold at cost — $2,10 a gallon, with
an additional discount of 5% for cash
with order. Here's your chance for
quick judj^ment plus quick action.
You'll need
American Simon Pure Putty, too.

The only difference between American Simon
Pure Putty and other putties is the fact that
it contains just what it should contain and _
nothing: else. All other putties don't always ][
live up to this high standard. All greenhouse n
putty should contain just 83% No. 1 Whiting, A
1% best white lead and 16% boiled oil. You'll *
find just this in American Simon Pure — and G
you'll find nothing else.

COLD WEATHER
Geo. Valker'8 Range at Minot, N. D.
Ivast summer we buill some greeuliouses, a large
brick service building and installed two power boilers
and complete vacuum heating system for Mr. George
Valker, at Minot, N. I).
Today, right in the midst of a "below-zero" spell
of weather. Mr. Valker paid us a visit, wearing his
usual i)right smile.
N'aturally during this cold weather, when a great
many florists are having trouble with their heating
systems, we asked Mr. Valker if he wasn't a bit wor-
ried about his greenhouses.
"Not in the least," was his instant reply. "The
heating system has given such perfect satisfaction that,
although we have had the thermometer as low as 35°
below zero, we had no diHiculty at all in maintaining
our temperature."
.lust give us a ciiance on your greenhouse problems;
you will not be disappointed.

LOUISA rOCKETT
is the name of a
New Chrysanthemum
that is announced by its raiser,
Mr. Pockett, as being
Superior in Every Way to Wm. Turner
of which it is a seedling. Since he raised both
varieties, we may safely take his word for it.
Louisa Pockett is larger than Turner; a better
shape and as strong a grower as Marigold. We
have 3000 plants ready for immediate delivery
from 2^-inch pots, which if set out in the benches
now will make ideal stock plants to propagate
from. You must eventually have this variety —
why not buy it now ?
Also: Nag-ir-roc, W. H. Waite, Bol d'Or and

THE BEST RED
What are you going to plant for red this year? is a question confronting every
grower of carnations. Perhaps we can help you solve it. Naturally you want
to plant a winner. In the 100 scarlet class at the A. C. S. exhibition, there were
eight entries, embracing practically all the new and standard varieties, and
easily the most representative class in the whole show. Our Merry Christ-
Merry Christmas tasn topped them all, establishing itself as the peer of all scarlet carnations,
to help you in making your choice. If you want to be convinced as to its productiveness, come and see it
s the only red we shall grow in quantity next year. February 20lh delivery, $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000.

FOR YOUR PROTECTION, MR. FLORIST,
ACCEPT "SUPERIORA" MAGNOLIA LEAVES ONLY
For they are endorsed by the leading wholesale trade. REFUSE IMITATIONS
EXTRACTS FROM OUR ENDORSEMENTS
Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co., of rittsburgh. Pa., writes: "Your
'Superiora' Magnolia Leaves are the best leaves that we have ever
handled, and we have had no complaint from any of our customers
who bought these leaves from us. We have stored these leaves un-
der all conditions and found that they will not mould; it is a very
satisfactory leaf Indeed."
W. U. Potter Co., successor to the McCallum Co., of Cleveland,
O., states: "Your 'Superiora' Magnolia Leaves are of the highest
obtainable quality and second to none, such as has never been on
the market before, for they are all of a one uniform size, which is
the main thing in the making of wreaths. Also your leaves are
uniform in color, which gives the finished wreath a rich tone qual-
ity, and this gets the results for the florists. Up to now all imi-
tators of your leaves have failed in producing a quality which is
worth mentioning. Every wholesale florist who wants to protect
his trade should sell only your product. We have found that you
have kept up the quality always, and we hope that you will con-
tinue to do so. The florists are willing to pay a few cents more per
case on your goods, which are really cheaper in comparison with
any other brands which are flooding the markets from time to
time."
Jog. G. Neldinsrer Co., of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "We have
tried all the Magnolia Leaves that are offered, but find your leaves
to be far superior to all pthers, etc., etc."
The Barteldes Seed Store, of Denver, Colo., writes: "In regard
to the quality of the 'Superiora' brand of Magnolia Leaves, we
take pleasure in advising that we have found all of these leaves
which we received from you to be of an even size and medium
length. Both the size and the length being extremely uniform.
They have also reached us in pliable condition, and altogether
we have been quite well satisfied with them."
The Kerran Co., of New York City, writes: "We have handled
your Magnolia leaves for several years and we take pleasure In
announcing that our already long list of satisfied customers con-
tinues to grow. Since we have handled your leaves we have never
had a complaint, but before that there was dissatisfaction."
The Montreal Floral Hxchanre, Montreal, Canada, writes: "Our
business has increased with you this year over double of what we
purchased last season, which is a good recommendation in itself that
the trade in Canada appreciates the durability and keeping qualities
of your leaf. We appreciate the Integrity, promptness and good
business methods that have characterized all your dealings with us."
The Wm. Murphy Co., of Cincinnati, O., writes: "We find your
'Superiora' Magnolia Leaves the best product of the kind we have
ever sold, and we take pleasure In congratulating you on same and
recommending them to all in need of a first-class satisfactory
leaf."
B. E. & J. T. Cokely, of Scranton, ^a., write: "We have
always considered your Magnolia Leaves to be a standard for quality,
etc."
The Baltimore Wholesale Florist and Supply Co., oT Baltimore,
Md., writes: "We are confident that any other manufactured Mag-
nolia Leaves could not compete with yours, as other brands have
been offered ua, which, after we tried them, we refused to carry
in stock."
N. F. McCarthy & Co., of Boston, Mass., write: . . It
Is the opinion of McCarthy & Co. that your good firm prepares the
beat leaf that has yet been offered in the United States. It is well
worth the difference between the prices oCtered by inferior manu-
facturers and your agents."
Jos. Ziska & Sons, of Chicago, 111., write: "We feel that you
are entitled to a compliment on the good quality of your 'Superiora'
brand Magnolia Leaves. We have handled these goods for a long
time — in fact, we believe that we are one of the first handlers of
your goods here in Chicago, and must say that we have as yet to
get a return of your merchandise. Even buyers that were always
accustomed to buying the foreign brands realize and admit that
your leaves are far superior."
The Cleveland Florists' Exchangre, Cleveland, O., says: ". . .
never as yet have we had a complaint on the 'Superiora' brand of
Magnolia Leaves, nor a carton returned."
Smith & Yonng Co., of Indianapolis, Ind., writes: "We will con-
tinue to use 'Superiora' exclusively as we consider it superior to any
other leaf in the market. Since we handle 'Superiora' we have not
had one single complaint, etc., etc"
The Leo Niessen Co., of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "To the best
of our knowledge your leaves are of the best quality and as good
as we can get in the market."
The Cleveland Cut Flower Co., of Cleveland, Ohio, writea:
*■ . . that we have been aendlng you ordera for 'Superiora' brand
Magnolia Leaves for several years should prove that we like your
Koods . . ."
Michigan Cut Flower Exchange. Detroit, Mich., says: "We have
been handling your 'Superiora' Magnolia Leaves for the past six
years and find in all this time that we have had no complaints but
many compliments on these goods., etc., etc."
Jos. E. Koppelman, of Providence, R. I., writes: "We feel that
we can sell your leaves to people who have used them once without
any trouble. They rather pay the difference than to buy other
leaves elsewhere, etc., etc."
McAlplne & McDonald, of Boston, Mass., write: "In answer
to your letter of January 5th, requesting our endorsement on
'Superiora' Magnolia Leaves, would say that you might put us
down as saying that we have found them a most satisfactory leaf
in every respect, our trade being well pleased with them. We also
wish to say that our business dealings with the Dr. H. Dux Co.
have been the finest ever."
New England Ilotist Supply Co., oT Boston, Mass., writes: "Have
found 'Superiora' Magnolias the beat leaves on the market. The
sales on this leaf have been growing with the same rapidity as our
buainess."
Wm. F. Kastini: Co., of Buffalo, N. T., writes: "Have always
found that the 'Superiora' brand gives our customers entire satisfac-
tion; in fact, they are the best leaves we have been able to obtain
in the last few years."
Russin & Hanfling, of New York City, write: "In response to
your letter of recent date, it gives us great pleasure to state that
we have- been very much satisfied with the quality of your 'Supe-
riora' brand Magnolia Leaves., We have tried the Magnolias of
.several other manufacturers, but In consequence we find your
leaves to be pre-eminent to all others placed upon the market,
particularly with the view that your leaves are all of one uniform
color, as well as being pliable and non-moulding."
Henry M. Robinson & Co., of Boston, Mass., write: "We are
pleased to state that the quality of your leaves is certainly the best
ever manufactured in this country, and it is a pleasure to offer such
stock for sale, etc."
Reed & Keller, of New York City, say: ". . . and we beg
leave to acknowledge receipt of your last shipment of MagnollEUB,
and we are indeed pleased to say that they are superior in every
way. We further state that our experience in leaves from other
dealers has been very unsatisfactory; colors vary and leaves mould
quickly, etc."
The Dale Estate, of Brampton, Ont., writes: "We are glad to
state that any 'Superiora' leaves that we have had in the past
were always as reported and gave satisfaction in our business."
Geo. H. Angermueller, of St. Louis, Mo., says: "It pleases ma
to say that I have worked up a splendid business on your 'Superiora'
Magnolia Leaves, and I credit my success to the fact that the quality
of your leaves has always been entirely satisfactory to my customers,
etc."
Oscar Leistner, of Chicago, Hi., writes: ". . . As you know,
before you gave us the sole agency for the Western country, we wera
handling a different leaf, but these leaves gave us no end of trouble
and our customers were very much disappointed with the quality.
Since we have been handling your leaves we find that the complaints
from our cuatomera have entirely disappeared, and the trade aeema
anxious to buy your leaves exclusively. Only today one of our cus-
tomers told us that he had bought 100 cartons of Magnolias from
one of your competitora, but that he has been compelled to return
them, as his customers absolutely refused to accept them, due to the
fact that the leaves are 'off-color' as well as mouldy, etc."
New York Florists' Supply Co., of New York City, writes: "Since
we have been handling your 'Superiora' Magnolia Leaves we have
had no complaints about the quality, and can assure you that In
our judgment they are fully up to the standard of the best Im-
ported."
C. E. Critcbell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, writes: "My customers insist
on having the 'Superiora' brand of Magnolias, as they claim these
are the best, and that they do not dry out or become mouldy, and
that every leaf can be used, and when this is taken into considera-
tion, they are also the cheapest, besides being the best."
The McCallnm Co., of PlttBburgfh, Pa., says: "Other Magnolia
preparers have tried to induce us to stock up their goods 'Juat aa
good aa Dux's' at a cheaper price, but we have In each Instance told
them frankly that It was a case of quality with ua, and that we did
not think their leaf would give the satisfaction youra did. We con-
sider our Magnolia trade one of the best assets of our busineaa and
will not take a chance of losing It; In fact, our traveling men are
often greeted as 'Magnolia Kings.' "
L. Baumann & Co., of Chicago, 111., write: "We regard your
'Superiora' Magnolia Leaves as being uncqualed and certainly
would not want to have anything else. Your leaves need no recom-
mendation— they speak for themselves."

WHOSE INTERESTS
X ARE PARAMOUNT?
There is sure to be radical divergence of opinion as to excluding
plant imports— "it makes a great deal of difference whose ox is gored"—
hut a quarantine unquestionably will be a powerful influence in the
development of American products, to encourage which the S.A.F. has
a standing committee.
NDEE the heading/ ' Here 's
Another Menace," in The
Eeview for January 18,
which has just reached me
here at Eureka, Cal., the
editor has opened the dis-
cussion on a question of
the utmost importance to
the future welfare of the
horticultural, nursery and
florists' interests of this continent.
The nursery and florists' trade of
America will do well to take into con-
sideration and early prepare for a fed-
eral embargo pronibiting the importa-
tion of all florists' plants and nursery
stock except under the most stringent
restrictions.
This embargo, in my opinion, will be
justified upon the ground of the enor-
mous losses already sustained
by the above mentioned in-
dustries and by the people
generally, caused by the dis-
tribution of San Jose scale,
gipsy and brown tail moth,
citrus white fly, black and
purple scale, citrus canker,
chestnut fungus, hickory
wireworm, white pine blis-
ter rust and many other pests
from foreign lands, the losses
already caused to this coun-
try far exceeding the total
value of all the imports of
plants of every description
during the last sixty years.
Some Examples.
The loss from San Jose
scale alone to the fruit grow-
ing and nursery business of
America may be counted at
$500,000,000 since its impor-
tation from Japan. The loss
from the gipsy and brown-tail
moth bids fair to exceed
$100,000,000 before the pest
may be controlled. The loss
to the potato growers of the
United States, caused by let-
ting loose the potato bug
from its narrow valley in
Colorado, will probably ex-
ceed $1,000,000,000 during the
last sixty years. The loss to
citrus growers of Florida,
Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas
and California, ensuing from
the introduction of purple
scale, black scale and citrus
white fly, will run into hun-
dreds of millions of dollars
and eventually destroy the
Ameriean citrus industry un-

less some positive means of control can
bo found.
Citrus canker, lately imported from
Japan into Florida and Louisiana, al-
ready threatens the elimination of the
orange and grape fruit as commercial
crops in those states.
Blister Rust and Hickory Worm.
Already California has placed an ab-
solute prohibitive embargo upon the im-
portation into the state of citrus plants
or fruit of any kind from Japan, Flor-
ida, Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana or
Texas.
The latest importation from foreign
lands, the white pine blister rust, is

bound to annihilate one of our most
valued timber trees and most beautiful
coniferous evergreens unless some now
unknown means is found to prevent its
])henomenally rapid spread. Billions of
dollars could never replace the loss of
Pinus Strobus to the American conti-
nent.
Already the chestnut fungus has de-
stroyed the chestnut forests of Long
Island, and for 100 miles up the Hud-
son. Pennsylvania is rapidly losing her
chestnut forests and the disease has at-
tacked the chestnuts of West Virginia
and southwestern Virginia. In twenty
years more America will have lost her
last native chestnut if some means now
unknown is not discovered to check the
spread of the disease.
The hickory wireworm has destroyed
every hickory tree on the Cot-
tage Gardens wooded lot at
Queens, L. I., during the last
four years and in five years
more not a single live hick-
ory tree will be found on all
Long Island and probably
New Jersey as well.
The introduction of the
coddling moth into the state
of Michigan wiped out ap-
ple raising as an industry for
nearly two decades.
Chestnut Fungus.
Perhaps my own experience
with the chestnut fungus on
Long Island may be interest-
ing. In 1900 the Cottage
Gardens wooded lot of eighty
acres boasted of some 200 to
300 handsome native chest-
nuts, bearing bountiful an-
nual crops of splendid nuts.
In 1901 we imported a few
small Japan chestnuts from
the orient. The next season
I noticed some curious burned
tips on the young, succulent
growth. The next year all
the imported trees were dead
and for the first time I no-
ticed the burned tips on some
of the native chestnuts in the
edge of the forest. In. another
year these native trees also
were dead and five years aft-
erward every chestnut tree
on the entire eighty acres had
been destroyed. And today
there is no known method to
check the disease. Four years
ago two or three hickory
trees suddenly died, without
any apparent reason. Today

not a live hickory remains on the place.
The newly imported hickory wireworm
has taken them all. And so the story of
the introduction of foreign insect pests
and diseases might be continued.
At the beginning of the war of the
Eebellion, the islands of Bermuda were
noted for their production of early
peaches, pears and other fruits, which
were shipped to the larger cities of the
United States. During the war a block-
ade runner left a cargo of potatoes on
the island. From these potatoes were
hatched some flies never before seen on
the island of Bermuda. These insects
afterwards became known as the fruit
fly, for the reason that within a few
years not a single variety of fruit ex-
cept the banana could be grown on the
island. The fruit flies destroyed them
all; and the agricultural crops of Ber-
muda were soon confined to early pota-
toes, Bermuda onions and Harrisii lilies.
A Paramount Issue.
Shall the nursery and florists' inter-
ests of America continue to import these
disastrously destructive pests and dis-
eases, or shall this country grow its own
supply of such foreign material as may
be essential to carry on the business?
This question has now become of para-
mount importance.
The best that can be said of a large'
percentage of this imported material is
that the American grower gets plants in
an inferior condition a little cheaper
than a better class of stock can be pro-
duced at home. Having become accus-
tomed to purchasing such imported
stock, the American lazily continues it
under the erroneous belief that nothing
else can be done.
The reasons are many why America
should grow the great bulk of her own
fruit and rose stocks, azaleas, boxwood,
rhododendrons, coniferous and broad-
leaved evergreens and many other items
now imported, and as soon as nursery-
men arid florists awaken to the possi-
bilities of their own country the impor-
tation of such stock will in a great meas-
ure cease.
Bose Stocks in California. '
California rose growers have long pro-
duced their -own canina and Manetti
stocks, and certain California nurseries
liave long grown their own Mariana and
Mazzard stocks. What would one think
of a nurseryman who imported his peach
stocks for .budding instead of planting
the Carolina pits and growing them
himself?
Carnations originally came from Eu-
rope. Who would look to Europe now
for carnation plants to grow in Amer-
ica? California grapes originally came
from France and Spain. Who will go
to those countries for grape vines to
plant a vineyard today?
As it is with those things today, so
may it be with ninety per cent of the
nursery and florists ' stock now imported
into this country, whenever American
energy and American capital set out to
produce them.
Encourage Home Industry.
If other industries are deserving of
encouragement and protection, is there
any reason why these industries do not
deserve like treatment? Woolen goods
bring no disastrous diseases or pests to
destroy billions of dollars of property.
Nevertheless, woolen goods pay a duty
almost equal to the foreign value of the
article imported.
Why fume and rage and grow purple
in the face over the few hundreds of
thousands of annual profits made by
importers of foreign plant material and
ignore the enormous losses caused by
the pests brought in with this imported
stuff?
Whose interests are paramount, the
plant importers' or the horticultural in-
dustries of America?
RETAIL STORE MANAGEMENT
WHAT THE LEADERS IN THE TRADE ARE DOING
THE RECORD ORDER.
The Largest Telegraph Delivery.
This is the story of perhaps the most
elaborate funeral design ever ordered by
telegraph of one of the advertisers in
The Review's Telegraph Delivery De-
partment.
There probably never has been so
good an illustration of the perfection
of the telegraph delivery service as it
exists today.
The order recently was sent by a flo-
rist at St. Louis to James Hayes, at
Topeka, Kan., who found that he had
six hours in which to complete the de-
sign. It should be a matter of great
satisfaction to florists in general to con-
template the fact that so elaborate a
piece can be delivered in a distant city
in such an exceedingly brief time.
A study of the illustration will make
it clear that this was an occupational
design, for the funeral of an actor. The
inscription is "Final Curtain" and the
design represents a stage with the cur-
tain down. The piece was seven and
one-half feet long and four and one-
half feet high. The columns at the
side were made by winding the wire
frame with chenille. The curtain was
of smilax. Carnations and sweet peas
were the flowers used and Mr. Hayes
employed just enough of them to create
the right effect. Too many flowers used
in the embellishment would have ob-
scured the idea.
Worth a "Century" or More.
Mr. Hayes says that he believes this
will be a design new to nearly all florists
and he recommends that wherever an-
other piece of this character may be
wanted, the florist figure on charging
$100 for it, or more if higher priced
flowers are to be used, for the work in-
volved is considerable.
"It would be a good thing," says Mr.
Hayes, "to make mention of the pro-
gressiveness of the trade in general in
the matter of transferring orders by
telegraph. A few years ago such a thing
as the execution of this order would
have been impossible, but now through
the medium of the telegraph we can de-
liver anything, almost anywhere, at any
time."
ADVERTISING BY RETAILERS.
[An address by David Schein, of Nashville,
before the recent meeting of tlie Tennessee State
Florists' Association.]
Before going into a detailed discus-
sion of advertising appropriations and
mediums, I would like to call your at-
tention to some of the most vital factors
in advertising.
A local banker who had charge of the
advertising for his institution was asked
to give his views on advertising. Here
is the statement he made: "Frankly, I
have my advertising sold to me. If the
seller is capable and honest I do really
good advertising." My experience leads
me to believe that the average florist
has his advertising sold to him.
First: What is advertising? Adver-
tising is influencing the minds of people.
It is making others think as you desire.
It means utilizing all those forces which
produce impressions and crystallize opin-
ions. It is the creating of prestige, that
quality which causes others to accept a
statement without question.
Florist's Personality Productive Factor.
Producing these impressions is by no
means confined to printed or painted
advertisements. The life that a busi-
ness man leads, both public and private,
has much to do with the molding of
public opinion and favor, A successful
florist must be a public-spirited, clean-
living, well known and well liked per-
son. No business is more influenced by
personality than that of the florist.
Next in importance to a bright, clean
personality is a bright, clean store. Does
your store invite people to come in, or
to stay out? Does your store smile at
passers-by with 200-candle-power mazdas
and cheerful windows, or is your front
an illustration for a hard-luck story?
Think it over. The biggest advertising
opportunity that the average retailer
has is the lighting and display possibili-
ties in his own store.
Advertising's Better Half.
When you determine as to the most
suitable advertising methods for your
own business, please remember that no
advertising will survive or become re-
munerative unless it is substantiated by
merit of merchandise, service and the
dspendability of your promise. In otner
words, you've got to "make good"
what you advertise, or you are wasting
your advertising appropriation. You
cannot fool the public permanently. The
merchant who is building for perma-

ing paper at a basement bargain price.
Many florists use small cards in the
newspapers the year around. I seri-
ously question the benefit of this style
of advertising. Let each of your news-
paper ads bear a message of interest and
not merely your name and address.
There are some good series of ads of-
fered by florists' syndicates, and any
one who is not able to write good copy
himself, or secure the service of an
experienced ad writer, is much better
off in renting a syndicate service of this
kind.
Direct Advertising.
The foremost essential in direct ad-
vertising is the preparation of the mail-
ing list. Mailing lists are prepared ac-
cording to either the financial rating,
social position, occupation or location
of the prospects.
A good list for a florist is found in
what is known as a "blue book," a list
comprising the names of social leaders.
In a city like Nashville we have a list
of this kind of about 1,000 names. Then
there are special lists of church mem-
bers, society members and those affil-
iated with commercial organizations.
A mailing list on index cards is han-
dled to best advantage, on account of
the space that each card gives you for
record and follow-up information. After
you have prepared your mailing lists,
the postmaster of your respective cities
will, upon request, check them and cor-
rect them at a small cost, thus saving
you waste postage on wrong addresses.
Should Watch for Functions.
While a progressive florist should use
his mailing list in full or in part at least
four times per year, the individual let-
ters sent on special occasions, such as
graduations, weddings or receptions, are
the ones that bring the biggest results,
if they are well arranged. It is good
policy for you to have a good letter pre-
pared for each of these purposes, or, bet-
ter yet, liave a quantity of them neatly
multigraphed. Then your assistant can
fill them in each day from the social cal-
endar in the newspaper and other avail-
able sources.
There are many attractive envelope
"stuff era" prepared by syndicate ad-
vertising ^rms and these are good for
the florists who have only a small list
and cannot afford to go to the expense
of specially designed and printed mat-
ter. Whenever possible, special matter
carrying the individuality of the adver-
tiser is much to be preferred.
I wish I had the time to discuss more
intimately the merits of the many other
productive advertising mediums, such as
billboards, street-car cards, novelties,
moving picture screens, etc. They all
have their place in a well planned adver-
tising campaign. I shall, however, be
glad to attempt to answer any question
that you may ask me in connection with
my subject.
FORTUNE FAVORS FORTER.
The grower by his greenhouse, the
man by his apparel, the merchant by his
store — so judges the world. It is the
quality of the thing most intimately as-
sociated with a man that more or less
determines his worldly rating. For in-
stance, going from platitudes to a spe-
cific example, take the store of Edward
A. Forter, of Cincinnati, 0., as shown in
tife accompanying illustration. This
store stamps the owner aa alert, wide-
awake and up-to-the-minute in his mer-
chandising, choosing the best and dealing
with the best. It advertises its owner;
it advertises itself,
Mr. Forter succeeded A. Sunder-
bruch 's Sons last year and the picture
was taken during the opening last Easter
at 128 West Fourth street, Cincinnati.
The floor space has an area of 5,200
square feet. A glass-enclosed cooler in
the rear is forty-nine feet long, twenty-
five feet wide and twelve feet high, the
finest of its kind to be had. Mr. Forter
evidently is courting success with every
advantage at his disposal.
AZALEAS A SECOND SEASON.
Please tell me how to take care of my
azaleas after they are through bloom-,
ing. Will they be of any use for next
season? D. D. S.— Tex.
Azaleas after flowering should have
all their seed pods removed. You can
either plant them out in summer on a
piece of land where the hose is handy
and lift them in late September, or carry
them over in pots. The pots should be
plunged to their brims in a coldf rame or
regular plunging bed. You must have
water convenient in either case. Aza-
leas like a light compost, with, if 'pos-^
sible, considerable leaf-mold in it.
While they are specially fond of peat,
they will grow almost equally well
in loam. Carried-over azaleas set buds
more abundantly than the imported
ones, and the plants also will flower
earlier than the same varieties fresh
from Belgium. C. W.
SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS.
Store of E. A. Forter, Cincinnati, Who Succeeded Sunderbruch's Sons.
Meeting of Executive Board.
President Eobert C. Kerr authorizes
me to call a meeting of the executive
board to be held in New York, March
16 and 17, 1917.
The August Convention.
The arrangements for the trade ex-
hibition in connection with the conven-
tion to be held in New York next
August are progressing satisfactorily.
The florists' supply trade and others
doing business with growers and re-
tailers are evincing a keen interest in
the exhibition, as will be seen by the
following list of those who have already
reserved space on the exhibition floor:
John Scheepers & Co., George L. StUl-
man, B. Hammond Tracy, John Lewis
Childs, Arthur Cowee, Schloss Bros.,
Bayersdorfer & Co., Beed & Keller,
Arthur T. Boddington Co., John C.
Moninger Co., John A. Evans Co., Ad-
vance Co., King Construction Co., Jack-
son & Perkins Co., American Greenhouse
Mfg. Co., Lord & Burnham Co. and Eus-
sin & Hanfling. A large attendance of
representatives of the trade from all
sections of the country is assured. Con-
sequently the trade exhibition will be
unusually large.
The Convention Garden, which has
been laid out in the Botanical Gardens,
Bronx park, under the supervision of
Dr. N. L. Britton, is an undertaking
worthy of New York. Preparatory
work was engaged in until the ground
became too much frozen to make the
continuation possible. Besides serving
the purpose of the society, the garden
will be an object of interest to hundreds
of thousands of the public, all horticul-
tural enthusiasts. With this in view
Dr. Britton has spared no effort to make
the garden attractive. So far the fol-
lowing have arranged for plantings:
W. A. Manda, Maurice Fuld, John
Scheepers & Co., Bobbink & Atkins,
Henry A. Dreer, A. N. Pierson, Inc.,
Conard & Jones, John Lewis Childs,
Raymond W. Swett, Arthur Cowee,
B. Hammond Tracy and Arthur T.
Boddington Co.
The Proceedings of the society will be
mailed to members about February 20.
Conditions without the control of the
society have caused some little delay in
the publication of the volume this year,
but it will be worthy of close study,
being more than usually interesting.
One thing, particularly, the society is
to be congratulated upon; the list of
members in good standing published in

PESTS ON LETTUCE PLANTS.
I have a good bed of lettuce, but
green flies have settled on the plants.
These I keep under control by using
tobacco smoke, but now a white insect
has made its home on the stalks and
on the ground. It is not the white fly
that attacks fuchsias; it has no wings.
How can I get rid of it and prevent its
future appearance? W. F. — I*a.
•Tmiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin
I would like to see one of the wing-
less flies which trouble your lettuce
plants. I cannot think what it can be.
Mealy bug is white, but would hardly
thrive in a lettuce house temperature.
If you have mealy bugs on your lettuce,
they can be killed by hydrocyanic
acid gas, but I would hesitate to advise
any beginner to use this remedy, ex-
treme caution being necessary on ac-
count of the acid's deadly qualities.
Cannot you mail one or two of the in-
sects in a small tin or wooden box?
Give your lettuce a night temperature
of 48 degrees and use a compost con-
taining plenty of horse manure which
is well incorporated witli the soil.

BED SPIDEB ON CUCUMBEBS.
Can you tell me how to get rid of red
and green bugs on lettuce and cucum-
bers? I have fumigated the house by
burning tobacco stems, but this does not
seem to stamp out all the pests.
G. G. M.-- O.
The red bugs you refer to probably
are red spiders, a most destructive pest
and one not easy to fight. Tobacco
smoke has no effect on them. A too arid
atmosphere is responsible for their pres-
ence. A force of water and a moist at-
mosphere are conditions distasteful to
them. If red spider gets a secure foot-
hold, it will be hard to exterminate. Use
a fine spray nozzle and direct the water
on the affected plants.
Green aphis are more easily destroyed.
I would not use tobacco stems; as a
fumigant tobacco stems now are well-
nigh obsolete. Use one of the tobacco
papers, like Nico-Fume, or even tobacco
dust. These are effective, leave no nau-
seous odor behind them and are not lia-
ble to burn the foliage as tobacco stems
often do. A light fumigation once a
week will be a good policv and aphis will
not trouble you. ' C. W.
LETTUCE TBOUBLES.
Will you please tell me how to get rid
of green flies on lettuce? I have used
sulphur smoke, nicotine papers and air-
slaked lime, and have painted my pipes
■with sulphur, but without killing the
flies. Would I spoil the lettuce plants
if I were to spray them with nicotine
while they are small? My lettuce is not
doing well this year. The soil contains
an even mixture of old soil, new soil
from under the sod and rotted manure.
I used the same kind of soil last year
and could cut the lettuce every six
weeks. The present crop has been in the
benches about nine weeks, but so far
only one bench has done fairlv well.
GUNNAB J. TEILMANN.
IF any of a society's members are not far enough advanced in years to give the
organization the benefit of wide experience, they may supply, instead, the infec-
tious enthusiasm and up-to-date alertness of youth. Gunnar J. Teilmann, one of
the active advocates of the Tennessee State Florists ' Association, was born in May,
1895, at Westtown, Pa. His mother died in 1906. His father, Gunnar Teilmann,
Sr., is a Dane and has been in the florists' trade since boyhood. While the father
has been engaged in business, at Marion, Ind., and later at Johnson City, Tenn.,
the son has been imbibin{^ knowledge in the schools and in the trade. To his high
school education he has added a correspondence course in landscape gardening.
He now has charge of the bookkeeping and a part of the sales department at his
father's establishment in Johnson City.
Can you to
condition?
me tlie reason for this
W. H. H.— Mo.
Green apliis below the foliage of let-
tuce is hard to dislodge, but fumigation
on two successive nights with such a
tobacco paper as Nico-Fume should
clean them out. If this fails try evap-
orating Nicoticide, over lamps contain-
ing denatured alcohol. I would give the
lettuce a spraying the morning after
fumigation to prevent danger of burn-
ing the folLige. If you were to fumigate
once a week your plants would not get in
this condition. Painting the pipes with
sulphur is all right for mildew, but not
for green aphis. A painting with nico-
tine would be more effective. If you
spray with nicotine, it would not be safe
to use the plants for some time, as nico-
tine is a deadly poison.
I cannot tell you just why your let-
tuce plants have failed to do better.
For one thing, plants infested with aphis
will never amount to much. The tem-
perature may not be correct. They
should be run about 48 degrees at night;
if warmer, green aphis will trouble them
more. A good soil consists of well rot-
ted pasture loam to which is added a lib-
eral dressing of horse manure, which
need not be fully rotted, but should be
well incorporated with tlie soil. Careful
ventilation is necessary to prevent leaf-
burn, particularly when a bright day
succeeds several sunless ones. C. W.
Punxsutawney, Pa. — V. E. Carr re-
ports steady and satisfactory business.
He is proprietor of the East End Green-
house, which is the oldest florists' estab-
lishment in this vicinity, although it
did not come under Mr. Carr's manage-
ment until a couple of years ago.
Saddle Biver, N. J.— John G. Esler
says Assembly Bill No. 16 of the New
Jersey legislature, to exteud the cor-
porate existence of the Florists' Hail
Association for thirty years, has passed
the House and is on the calendar of the
Senate for action. Assemblyman Wal-
ter G. Winne was the sponsor for the
measure and to him the F. H. A. is un-
der obligation for the rapid passage of
the bill through the lower house.

The Florists' Review

SECOND- YEAB GLADIOLI FAIL.
Are the forcing gladioli, Blushing
Bride and Peach Blossom, good for a
second season? G. H. H. — 111.
GLADIOLUS PINK PERFECTION.
Many theologians have believed, and
many still believe, in the doctrine of
"perfectionism," or "Christian per-
fection," or "perfection of the saints."
When told that perfection of charac-
ter, in Christians or others, is an impos-
sibility in this world of imperfections,
these theologians have replied that there
may be relative perfection, or degrees
of perfection, or perfection of certain
attributes, etc. By the way, if the pres-
ent writer shows an imperfect knowl-
edge of this doctrine, it is hoped that
any theologically wise readers will be
perfectly kind and considerate in their
judgment. At any rate, it will be ad-
mitted that in common parlance and in
horticultural speech, as well as in theo-
logical creeds, there are many sorts of
perfection.
And perfection is surely not limited
to any one color. In this case the per-
fection referred to is Fink Perfection,
or the gladiolus which bears that name.
Possibly the originator, when naming
the flower, smilingly repeated to himself
the familiar phrase, "It is the pink of
perfection — the highest type of excel-
lence." B. Hammond Tracy, of Cedar
Acres fame, who furnished the photo-
graph from which the illustration was
made, says that Pink Perfection is "a
truly wonderful gladiolus in color and
texture, one of the choicest of the newer
varieties. The color is a soft, clear pink
of the La France shade. It bears large,
open flowers, on a strong spike. ' ' An-
other grower describes the color as "a
delicate apple-blossom pink, with a beau-
tiful veining of salmon pink."
shallow drills, covering them to a depth
of an eighth of an inch or a little more.
The tiny conns thus secured are housed
for the winter and then planted in
drills about an inch and a half deep, for
a second season 's growth. Few, if any,
of them bear flowers the second sum-
mer; they must be lifted, stored and
planted again before flowering satis-
factorily. Thus the process is a slow
one and the resultant flowers are a
promiscuous and uncertain lot. A simi-
lar statement may be made about the
bulbs raised from seed; they require
three or four years to attain marketable
size and then rank only as mixtures.
GLADIOLI I'ROM SEED.
T have collected a considerable (luan-
tity of gladiolus seeds this season. Will
you kindly tell me when is the best time
to sow them? Please state, also,
whether clear sand or a mixture ol soil
and sand should be used, and give any
other particulars about the treatment
required. M. B. — N. J.
As the inquirer, probably, is fully
aware, growing gladioli from seed is a
tedious performance, but it is the only
way to produce new varieties, if tliat
is the intention.
After the gladiolus seeds have been
collected, they should be carried over
until the following spring. They may
be sown in large pans of good, light soil,
early in March, and placed in a warm
greenhouse, and the seedlings may bo
thinned and allowed to remain in these
receptacles during the first season.
After the germination of the seeds, the
flats should be removed to a lighter and
airier position, so tliat the little plants
may be gradually hardened and pre-
pared to spend the summer outdoors.
After the summer in the flats, the little
corms should be ripened in the fall and
stored like larger ones. Some of them
may produce blooms the second year.
Perhaps a more common method, how-
ever, is to plant the seeds outdoors in
While Gladiolus Peach Blossom and
others of the nanus type will have splen-
did bulbs when forced, much larger than
those imported, I have found them to be
almost worthless for forcing a second
season, a small proportion of them only
flowering. C. W.
CABRIED-OVER GLADIOLI.
In the winter of 1915-16 I bought some
gladioli and benched them in a carna-
tion house, hoping for good results. The
varieties were America, Mrs. Francis
King, Augusta and Chicago White, I
benched over 200 and cut only about
twenty-five spikes. I left them in the
soil until July; then I lifted them and
dried them off. They were a fine lot of
large, sound bulbs, I wish to know
whether I can force these bulbs this
winter. The weather was so wet in
1915 that I think perhaps the bulbs did
not ripen well. S. M. — Kan.
I see no reason why these gladioli
should not be perfectly good for forcing
again, I have tried such bulbs myself
and had good results. Where the spikes
have been cut down close to the ground,
the bulbs, even if of good size, do poor-
ly, but as the bulk of yours did not
flower at all they should prove quite
satisfactory. C. W,
CHEMICALS IN THE WATER,
In purifying our water, the water com-
pany uses four pounds of chloride of
lime and ten pounds of alum to 400,000
gallons of water. Would this be harm-
ful to greenhouse plants? If so, would
it be equally harmful to outdoor plants
and vegetables? L. C. B. — Kan.
I would not consider that the chem-
itals used would be likely to have an
injurious effect upon greenhouse plants,
especially as a large proportion of the
chemicals would most likely be precipi-
tated before the water would enter the
mains. It is possible that in time a suffi-
cient amount might accumulate in the
bench soil to interfere with the growth
of the plants, and it would then be nec-
essary to remove the surface soil, but I
do not think it likely that such a course
would be necessary.
There would be less danger in the
open ground, where the rains would
wash anything that is soluble into the
subsoil. T.

Jackson, Mich. — A fire which started
from an oil stove did considerable dam-
age to the A. W. Furnival & Son estab-
lishment February 0. The greenhouse
to which tlic fire was confined was badly
gutted and much of the stock in this

not enough to interfere with business,

SEASONABLE NOTES.
Baising Cattleya Seedlings.
February and March are suitable
months in which to make sowings of
seeds of cattleyas and other orchids.
Only a few specialists are as yet doing
this work and they are in the main de-
voting their energies to raising hybrids.
We have a bewildering multiplicity of
these already and the end is not nearly
in sight. What we need, however, is
that one or two growers break away
from the work of cross breeding and
raise seedlings in quantities of the
standard cattleyas, especially C. labiata,
which becomes scarcer and smaller each
year.
To raise orchid seedlings successfully,
a warm, moist house is needed. A glass
case or cases must be provided, in which
pots containing fern fiber on which to
sow the seeds are to be placed. Do not
use any moss; it makes too much growth
and smothers the seedlings. Coarse bath
toweling or burlap stretched across the
inside of the cases I have found good for
seedling raising; also, pots filled with
fern fiber and the tops covered with bur-
lap, tucked in well to make a firm,
smooth and well. rounded surface. The
burlap should be moistened with a fine
sprayer before the seed is sown.
Germinating the Seeds.
A close atmosphere and fine sprayings
are necessary. Sprayings may be need-
ed once or twice a day, according to the
weather. Admit air sparingly at first,
but do not keep the atmosphere too
close, as that would promote a slimy
growth on the seeded surfaces. Shade
from all sunshine. As the tiny seedlings
appear, a little air can be left on all
night. To prevent damage from snails
and other pests, all pots should be ele-
vated on other pots, which stand in
trays of water. The raising of orchid
seedlings is fussy but interesting work
and will some day become a consider-
able industry in America. Let us, how-
ever, have more seedlings of good com-
mercial varieties of proven value and
less of the bigeneric hybrids whose
names and numbers are becoming be-
wildering.
Cattleya Schroederse now has its
sheaths well made up and while it proves
less popular on the markets than C.
labiata and C. Trianse, it fills in a gap
nicely until C. Mossiae and C. Mendellii
come in season. Give all these spring
and early summer cattleyas a light posi-
tion, so that the growths will be well
ripened. You can shade heavily in win-
ter and get plants of a rich, dark green
color, but they will invariably flower
disappointingly. If you are buying any
freshly imported cattleyas, place your
orders early. Supplies this season are
more or less uncertain and, the demand
being strong, all will not secure the
plants they need.
A VALUABLE TEIAN.ffi PLANT.
Just figure it for yourself. Sev-
enty-nine blooms, all on one Cattleya
Trian8B plant! Seventy-nine blooms,
each worth — Hold on there! We are
going too fast. If you intend to fig-
ure it for yourself, you must place your
own valuation on the blooms. What
would they probably be worth in your
market? In the florists' business there
are many uncertainties — enough of
them, one would think, to make a gam-
bler feel at home in the trade — and
among these uncertainties the prices
must be included. Still, at any reason-
able, average appraisement, a Trianse
plant with seventy-nine blooms would
not be wasting space in the greenhouse.
It would not be merely cumbering the
ground, like the fruitless fig tree in
sacred writ.
The 79-flowered Trianse was grown at
the Dale Estate, at Brampton, Ont., and
W. G. Peacock, of that establishment,
supplied the photograph from which the
illustration was made. Of course so
small a snapshot could not do full jus-
tice to the original, though the plant
was tilted toward the camera at an an-
gle that brought as many of the blooms
as possible into view. Mr. Peacock is
authority for the number of blooms.
He remarks that the plant was a mag-
nificent specimen, though only 4 years
old. The grower of it says that in his
thirty years of experience he has never
seen a better sample of Cattleya Trianse.
The grower does not say anything
about his cultural methods; that might
be a long story. At any rate, though
two cooks use the same recipe and the
same materials, one may concoct a dish
so delicious as to deserve the name of
angels' food, while the other may hand
out a conglomeration so unpalatable or
indigestible as to " drive a man to
drink." And there is as much difference
in growers as in cooks.
AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY.
Executive Committee Meeting.
The executive committee of the Amer-
ican Eose Society met in Philadelphia
February 8 to take up matters pertain-
ing to the coming show. A list of names
for judges was presented, and those on
the list will be communicated with, re-
questing their services as judges at the
spring exhibition.
The premium list is growing by the
addition of special premiums, and the
interest that is being taken to make this
a great show certainly warrants the be-
lief that there will be nothing lacking
for a great, popular exhibition. The re-
turns from the call for fifty per cent
of the guarantee fund have been most
satisfactory. Application was made for
the registration of four new roses, which
was submitted to the committee for re-
port.
The Portland rose test garden, which
has been receiving careful attention for
several months, was brought forward
the discussion showing that January 11
at Portland, representatives of ninety-
nine different organizations met, includ
ing members of the Royal Rosarians,
Portland Rose Society, Portland Cham
ber of Commerce, Portland Floral So
ciety, Rotary Club, Research Club
American Institute of Architects, Par
ents' and Teachers' Association, etc
who organized themselves into the Port-
land Association National Rose Test
Garden.
Portland Site of Test Garden.
This organization was promised the
cooperation of the city government of
Cattleya Trianae Flowered at Dale Estate^ with Seventy-nine Blooms.

The Florists' Review
Fbbbuaby 16, 1917.
Portland through its park department,
and now is an established organization,
ready for work. This movement for a
rose test garden at Portland has been
encouraged from the start by the Amer-
ican Rose Society,
The executive committee at this meet-
ing, upon resolution, decided unanimous-
ly to designate Portland, Ore., as the
place for the oflBlcial rose test garden of
the Pacific northwest, and to cooperate
with the local organization. It appoint-
ed Messrs. Currey, Clark and Tucker,
who, as a committee, together with the
Portland association and the city gov-
ernment of Portland, will formulate
plans for the location and government
of the garden, and provide rules and
regulations for all tests and contests.
Adolph Farenwald, manager of the
show is actively looking after all the
details and reported matters moving
along nicely. Representatives from the
leading firms in Philadelphia were pres-
ent at the meeting.
The membership dues for 1917 were
reported by the secretary to be coming
in finely. There are about 400 associate
members now on record, and a ticket
of admission to the coming show is for-
warded to each member as his dues are
paid.
Robert Pyle presented an invitation
from Newport, R. I., in which the so-
ciety was invited to hold an exhibition
of outdoor roses at that resort July 4,
It was considered best to defer action
on this matter until certain details per-
taining to such an exhibition could be
obtained. Benj. Hammond, Sec'y.
SWEET PEAS OUTDOORS.
To follow the late indoor sowings of
sweet peas, it is time now to start some
seeds to plant outdoors as soon as we
get something approaching settled
weather. The land on which sweet peas
are to be planted ought to be prepared
in the fall. If this has not been done,
take advantage of the first possible open
spell of weather, when the frost has left
the ground, to prepare suitable trenches.
If you want only one or two varieties
for your home trade, plant, for white,
Nora Unwin or Constance Hinton; for
clear pink, Hercules or Countess Spen-
cer; for lavender, Florence Nightingale
or Asta Ohn; for orange pink, Improved
Helen Lewis. If you want greater va-
riety, the following are thoroughly de-
pendable: Primrose, Debbie's Cream;
orange scarlet, Thomas Stevenson; bi-
color, Blanche Ferry Spencer; blush, El-
frida Pearson; scarlet, Fiery Cross;
cream pink, Margaret Atlee; blue. Cap-
tain of the Blues; rose, Edith Taylor;
crimson, Maud Holmes; maroon. King
Manoel; picotee-edged, Martha "Wash-
ington; cerise, Illuminator.
Sow the seeds in pans or shallow flats
of pure sand. It will pay to soak or chip
the seeds of the white varieties before
sowing. Pot them off into 3-inch pots
before the roots of the seedlings become
too lengthy. Shade the plants from the
bright sun for a day or two, gradually
harden them off and then plant them
outdoors, from the middle to the end of
April, according to latitude. Allow
twelve inches between the plants. The
rows may seem scanty at the outset, but
if you have prepared the ground well
the supports will soon become densely
covered with haulm. Flowers by this
method will be produced at least a fort-
night ahead of those from the earliest
sowing made outdoors, and there simply
will be no comparison in the quality of
the flowers.
WEILAND'S SWEET PEAS.
I am sending under separate cover a
sweet pea with seven flowers on one
stem, which you know is something
out of the ordinary. This is a sport
of Rose Queen and is the third flower
it has thrown with more than four
flowers to one stem. We found one
with five flowers, one with six and then
this one, with seven. At the rate this
flower is increasing in the number to
one stem, we shall some day be picking
peas with a whole bunch to one stem.
I am also sending you a sample of
six other sports of Rose Queen. I
have five houses of sweet peas, 28x300
feet. I have at least twenty leading
varieties and consider Rose Queen the
queen of them all. I think a great deal
of the sports of this variety, of which
I am sending samples. The white one
throws a longer stem than any other
white I have ever grown, while the flow-
er is the same as Rose Queen, only pure
white. The blue is a solid blue, not
two shades of blue, nor too dark, a blue
that I believe will take. Then there
are two shades of lavender, one with a
shorter stem than Rose Queen, but with
a flower of the same size and form. 'I
consider it the best lavender I have
ever had. It is a real lavender, not
like some of the varieties of today,
neither lavender nor pink. In this class
Rose Queen has a sport which you will
see has a large flower and long stem,
with the color the same as Heather
Bell. There is one sport with the color
of lilac. This one has a long stem,
but the flower is much smaller than
Rose Queen itself. The color is fine
and no doubt this will be a winner.
Then there are at least three shades of
pink, running from Rose Queen on to
almost light red. These I consider of
great value to the trade, as they are
much brighter in color than any other
varieties of today. I was of the opin-
ion that these sports had originated
since I had bought the seed, but while
showing them last week at the carna-
tion meeting at Indianapolis, Mr. Pettit
told me they were in the seed when
he sold it to me. I bought one pound
of this seed, which I consider the best
investment I ever made.
I am now trying to work up a stock
of each sport separately, which will
take several years. Peter Weiland.
BOWE'S RISE.
While W. A. Rowe, of Kirkwood, Mo.,
is rated as one of the younger florists of
the central states, he should be marked
as a possible "comer" in the "big fel-
lows* " class of the future. Starting
the growing business in 1907, Mr. Rowe
in the course of prosperous times erected
eight houses, each 25x100; but the boom
of the last year has called for still
further expansion, so the Rowe Floral
Co. purchased ground outside the city
and had erected thereon four houses,
each 36x300 feet, from materials fur-
nished by the American Qreenhouse
Mfg. Co. and the Moninger Co., of Chi-
cago. Although a general line of stock
is produced by the company, carnations
and chrysanthemums are the main crops,
the illustrations on page 19 showing
the interior of one of the houses planted
to white carnations.

AT CHICAGO.
PubUcity Night.
The meeting of the Chicago Florists'
Club February 8 had been announced as
Publicity Night, vdth Ella Grant Wil-
son, of Cleveland, and J. H. Burdett, of
Chicago, to address the members on the
subjects of publicity and advertising.
That the trade in Chicago is interested
in these topics was manifest by the
large number who were present. It was,
looked at from almost any angle, a
thoroughly successful meeting, a spirit
of zest being in evidence which made
one feel that the organization is on the
threshold of a busy year.
Miscellaneous Business.
In the absence of President W. H.
Amling, who had not recovered suffi-
ciently from his illness to attend. Vice-
president Paul Klingsporn acted as
chairman. Duncan Robertson was
elected to membership and applications
were received from the following:
N. Wright, John Sinner, Chas. Niemann,
Q. F. Eastelnik, Arthur M. Luedtke and
T. E. Waters.
Fred Lautenschlager, chairman of
the posterette committee for St. Valen-
tine's day, announced that 362,000

New Range of the Rowe Floral Co., Houses Each 36 x 300, at Kirkwood, Mo.
stamps and 82,000 posterettes had been
sold up to that date. The sale showed
a profit to the club, which will be used
for future work in publicity. Because
of the excellent results obtained from
this experiment, it was decided that a
committee be designated to do publicity
work of a similar nature for Easter.
The same men were appointed.
August Poehlmann stated that all the
bills for the Grand Floral Festival had
been paid and that there remained in
the treasury a balance of $80.
"Sentiment and Flowers."
Ella Grant Wilson spoke on "Senti-
ment as Applied to Publicity for Flow-
ers" as employed in her work in Cleve-
land. She reminded those present that
the florists' business is the only business
in the world which rests wholly on senti-
ment; that florists have used love, the
greatest force in the world, and com-
mercialized it. This fact was appre-
ciated by the Cleveland Florists' Club
and it decided to combine this sentiment
with the publicity. The club decided
to raise a fund for community adver-
tising which would be absolutely im-
personal. This was done and she was
appointed to write articles on flowers
for the Cleveland papers. Mrs. Wilson
illustrated her talk with many clippings
from Cleveland papers which had pre-
viously been arranged about the room
and which showed the manner in which
she went about her work. This ma-
terial, she said, was furnished to the
papers with no charge to them.
Increasing Buyers.
James H. Burdett, who has been press
agent for nearly all the flower shows at
the Coliseum, next spoke on "The Op-
portunity of Increasing the Number of
Flower Buyers by Publicity." Mr.
Burdett pointed out that this is an age
of publicity. "Fifteen years ago," he
said, "nobody knew automobiles or
phonographs, but florists were already
prosperous. Those industries grew up
by the employment of publicity, and
today what does the average famUy
spend more on, phonograph records or
flowers? There is only a certain
amount of money to be spent for other
than the necessities of life, and luxuries
are first to suffer in times of stringency.
Automobiles have outstripped carriages,
phonographs, pianos. It would be
strange if artificial flowers should out-
strip the natural product, but the only
certain way to oppose this is by pub-
licity. Publicity serves two ends: It
gets new business and helps retain the
present; it therefore must be looked
upon as a kind of investment, for
once teach a man to buy flowers and
he will continue to do so for the rest
of hisUfe."
Royce Eckstone, a Chicago advertis-
ing man, spoke on advertising, that is,
the use of paid space. He pointed out
that all national organizations adver-
tise to protect their industries. He
said that advertisements must bo run
in the papers if general publicity is to
be successful and that such copy should
be written to prove flowers are a neces-
sity, not a luxury, and also that it should
be aimed at artificial flowers.
Other Speakers.
Mr. Malvin, of Cleveland, added a
few words to what had already been
said of the good the publicity in Cleve-
land papers had done florists of that
city.
Vice-president Klingsporn, in speak-
ing of the express service, said that in
New York and Philadelphia the florists
had reminded the express companies
that florists ship all the year around
and that because of this they are en-
titled to more consideration than those
who ship only at Christmas. The ex-
press companies replied by providing
special space on all platforms for cut
flowers and giving same preference over
other merchandise. Mr. Klingsporn
said he thinks that if the proposition
were put to the express ofiicials here,
they would be willing to do likewise.
Poehlmann Bros. Co. exhibited a col-
lection of cattleyas and phalsenopsis,
for which the thanks of the club were
extended.

rington, were optimistic. Mr. Young
said almost all the exhibition space has
been engaged, also in the program, with
an advance sale of trade tickets amount-
ing to over $2,000.
J. H. Uick have an account of the In-
dianapolis carnation convention and Da-
vid Ward also spoke interestingly of it.
Mr. De Forest, chairman of the banquet
committee, reported progress. There
should be an attendance of at least 400.
March 17 is the date.
W. H. Siebrecht, Jr., referred to the
threatened quarantine legislation and
said there is no reason for uneasiness,
as the American Forestry Association is
redrafting its bill and will do nothing
further until conference is had with the
New York Florists ' Club and the nur-
serymen's association.
The following were elected to mem-
ership: Peter Henderson, of Jersey
City; J. E. Weir, Jr., Jamesport, L. I.;

Sackalos, J. M. Miller, F. R. Martin, Wil-
lard Kervan, L. C. L. Smitl:, Wm. Kaler,
E. K. Bowne, John T. Gilbas and A.
Macmillan. The large accession to the
membership is largely due to the activ-
ity of President Stumpp, and, on motion
of A. J. Guttman, a rising vote of thanks
was given him for his good work.
Secretary Young's report showed a
balance January 1 of $14,925.

FUNGUS IN BENCHES.
Regarding the inquiry of Wachendorf
Bros., of Atlanta, Ga., in The Review
of February 8, as to the cause of a
fungus which destroys their plants in
greenhouse benches, gas leakage in the
soil will cause the condition of which
they speak. The soil becomes hard and
has the appearance of being frozen and
full of white frost or mold, and of
course it results in the loss of the plants.
These parties may find their trouble to
be due to this cause, or again it may
be due to some other.
Washington Floral Co.
THE FREEZE IN FLORIDA.
After my years of experience with the
winters of Toledo, O., where I was in
the greenhouse business, the worst of
weather here at De Land, Fla., seems
soft and salubrious, but by the time
you get this letter you will undoubtedly
have many reports about the big freeze
in this state last week. Here, in and
about De Land, oranges and other cit-
rus fruits are the main crop and pros-
pects look somewhat blue for the grow-
ers. The reports vary a great deal, but
the damage certainly was heavy.
About half of this season's crop has
been harvested and shipped; of the other
half, which is still on the trees, the
greater part will be a dead loss. I cut
some fruit open after the first night's
frost and found ice in it. Yet some
growers tell me they brought grape-
fruit from their groves and found it to
be unharmed. Growers who had coke
or oil pots close enough saved some of
their fruit.
Trees in this district were mostly well
ripened and were still dormant, and
these will, I believe, come out without
any serious damage. But farther south,
where the average temperature is not
as cool as it is here, the trees must have
suffered severely. I hear that at Or-
lando, about forty miles south of here,
many trees are split open. Any green-
house man can imagine what that
means. The temperature here was re-
ported as low as 14 degrees above zero.
The lettuce and celery crops around San-
ford, twenty miles south of here, have
suffered badly.
The tourists, who are the main
"crop" here, seem to take matters quite
philosophically. Even if it freezes oc-
casionally during a spell like this, the
sun comes out every day and makes
everybody feel that Florida is a good
place to be in, anyway.
To a florist it is interesting to see
what effect the freeze had on the various
plants and trees grown here. On honey-
suckles, which were in full bloom, all
blossoms were killed. Among potted
aspidistras, standing side by side, one
would be frozen to the pot and the next
one unhurt. Sansevierias acted the same
way. Bougainvillea glabra, where cov-
ered a little, even had some blossoms
left. Cycas revoluta and different sorts
of phoenix, as well as the local cabbage
palm, seem to be all sound. The foliage
on the magnolias and oaks is as green
as ever. Oleanders, which were not yet
in blossom, are not affected, but poinset-
tias and hibiscus are pretty well cut
down. Cannas and nasturtiums that
had been well covered came out fairly
well. The immense tubs of Boston ferns
that one could see here everywhere are
dead down to the soil, but will come out
all right.
The most frozen thing down here is
the local colored man, but even he, I
noticed this morning, is humming and
crooning again, vt'hile swinging pick or
shovel on the paving jobs.
Wm. B. Currey, the local florist, lost
a few geraniums and Paris daisies, but
adiantums, pteris, kentias and arecas on
the same bench came out unhurt. His
Asparagus plumosus, of which he ships
heavily to the north, suffered a little,
but only the softest, youngest growth
was nipped, while matured sprays were
untouched. This plumosus is grown un-
der lath roofs, surrounded by board
walls that are not at all tight. Mr.
Currey did not try to heat his asparagus
plantation, but it came through the cold
wave nicely. He will be able to ship
regularly. E. A. Kuhnke.
TILE IN GREENHOUSE BENCHES.
In The Review of February 1 I no-
ticed an inquiry about tile benches, by
W. E. W. As we have had considerable
experience in different kinds of benches,
I thought I would offer some suggestions
that might be of value to the inquirer.
Eleven years ago we tore down an old
greenhouse and rebuilt it from the
benches up. We found that the bench
legs were the first part to decay, so in
rebuilding we bought common 4-inch
drain tile cut twenty-four inches long.
We set the tile two feet apart in the row,
with three rows for a 5-foot bench. The
tile cost us 3 cents each, which is less
than the cheapest 2x4 leg you could buy,
to say nothing about the braces required
to hold the wooden legs up and a block
or something for them to stand on. We
put a shovelful of concrete down before
setting the tile and when this becomes
hard it makes a big foot which will not
settle or tip over. We used some of our
old 2x4 lumber for crosspieces and for
bottoms a lot of best grade cypress that
had only been in one year. That same
grade of cypress would cost about $50
per thousand feet now. Last summer we
bought a carload of flat bench tile and
stringers, as we had the tile legs, which
were as good as new. We ran our string-
ers crosswise and had the tile cut in 24-
inch lengths for the bottoms. We used
the tile nine inches wide and six of them
made about fifty-six inches in width.
On each side we ran a piece of 2x4 lum-
ber and on that we put a 6-inch side-
board of best cypress, which we treated
to two coats of wood preserver. These
sides were tied together with wire cables
under the bench. This makes us a bench
about five feet four inches wide. If we
were to build new from the legs up we
would run the stringers lengthwise and
use 28-inch or 30-inch slabs. If I could
not get the drain tile I would buy the
legs made of the same material as the
stringers and bottoms. I would not un-
der any consideration use wooden legs,
as the tile is cheaper, quicker set and
more durable. E. B. Morgan.

The Florists' Review
21
BXTLB GBOWINO IN HOLLAND.
[This is the third and last installment of a
paper read at a recent meeting of the Cleve-
land Florists' Club, in CleTCIand, O., by John
Van Leeuwen, of Sassenheim, Holland. The pre-
ceding two sections of his paper were published
in The Review of January 25 and February 1.]
We now come to a genus of extremely
popular bulbous plants, namely, nar-
cissi.
In Greek mythology Narcissus was
the son of the river god Cephissus and
the nymph Liriope, and was distin-
guished for his beauty. The seer Tiresias
told his mother that he would have a
long life, provided he never looked upon
his own features. The rejection of the
love of the nymph Echo drew upon him
the vengeance of the gods, who made
him see his own image. He fell in love
with his own reflection in the water of
a spring and pined away, or killed him-
self, and the flower that now bears his
name sprang up in the spot where he
died. That is one version.
Narcotic and Poisonous Properties.
Another opinion is that the name is
derived from the word "narce, " on
account of the flowers' narcotic per-
fume. In mythology the plants were
consecrated to the Furies, who are said
by the older writers to have employed
the narcissus to first stupefy those
whom they wished to punish. "Writers
of comparatively modern date claim
that the odor of the flowers causes mad-
ness, just as the flowers of the common
scarlQt field poppy are now said by
country people to induce faintness or
headache. In support of this theory
many instances are on record in our own
day where the odor of Narcissus Taz-
etta, for example, in close rooms, has
proved extremely disagreeable if not
actually injurious to delicate persons.
All the parts of the plant are narcotic
and highly poisonous, a fact which has
been proved by many florists who have
to cut a large quantity of the flowers
every day.
Narcissi are natives of central Europe
and the Mediterranean regions, while
one species, Narcissus Tazetta, extends
through Asia and Japan. From some of
these, by cultivation and hybridization,
have sprung the numerous modern va-
rieties which are now so popular.
Five Botanical Groups.
Botanically narcissi are divided into
five groups:
Hoop Petticoat, or Corbularia. These
have unusually large trumpets compared
with the small petals. They are only
small flowers, anyway.
Pseudo-narcissi, which correspond to
the group Ajax, and which are the so-
called daffodils. To this group belong
the bicolor varieties and the large trum-
pets, such as Emperor and Golden Spur.
Mock narcissi, or star daffodils, to
which belong N. incomparabilis, of which
Sir Watkin is a variety.
Polyanthus narcissi, to which belong
the Chinese sacred lilies and Paper
White grandiflora.
Poet's narcissi, or Pheasant's Eye nar-
cissi, to which belongs Poeticus ornatus.
Narcissi have been grown in western
Europe since 1500, and it is highly prob-
able that the most common species were
introduced long before that time. Lobel
speaks of the culture of narcissi as far
back as 1570 and Gerard describes sev-
, eral kinds which were popular at the
time of Queen Elizabeth.
Soil and Culture.
The soil in which we grow narcissi
is the poorest we have. While for hya-
cinths and tulips the soil must contain
a certain percentage of chalk, a large
percentage of this mixed with the soil
would be injurious to narcissi. They
require but little manure; in fact, many
of them are grown without any. They
are planted often in ground which has
not been loosened and they do not seem
to be any the worse for it.
The cultivation is extremely easy and
requires but little care. The only point
about which we must be careful is that
a certain disease, which we call "fire,"
does nqt spread. This is a fungous dis-
ease which produces small gray spots on
the foliage, and, if the leaves on which
it appears are not immediately removed,
it spreads so quickly, under certain con-
ditions of the weather, that a healthy
plant, perfectly green and growing fast,
will be as dead as a doornail inside or
three days.
A Destructiye Pest.
Last year, however, a small but for-
midable pest, which we never had seen
before, played havoc with acre upon
acre of daffodils. This pest was im-
ported with a lot of bulbs which came
from Guernsey as planting size. It is a

Dutch Bulbs.
It will not be necessary after this date
to place bulbous stock in the dark or
below the benches to give it the neces-
sary length of stem, but if bench room
is scarce a row of flats or pans can be
stood below the benches near the walks.
It is better, however, to place the bulbs
in pans or pots direct on the benches
to keep them stocky. A common ques-
tion now is how soon to start to force
tulips, daffodils and hyacinths for
Easter. Not yet awhile. About three
weeks in an ordinary greenhouse tem-
perature should suffice for any of these
bulbs, provided they are well rooted
and started when housed. Much depends
on the weather. Plants will grow more
during one clear, sunny day than in two
dark ones, but speaking generally if
bulbs are housed about March 10 to
15 they should be in ample time.
Boses for Easter.
If the ramblers and polyanthas or
Baby ramblers have buds nicely showing,
they will be in nice season for Easter
in an average night temperature of 58
to 60 degrees. If the pots are well filled
with roots, as they should be now, give
them occasional soakings of cow manure
water, but discontinue its use as soon as
the flowers start to open, as its use then
tends to take color from the flowers.
Spray them on clear days only and be
sure the foliage is dry before nightfall.
Avoid cold drafts, which bring mildew
and all its attendant evils. On the first
appearance of it use sulphur on the pipes
and plants; in fact, it is a safe plan to
keep a little sulphur on the pipes right
along. It is well to send the plants along
so that they will be in flower suflSciently
early to gradually inure them to a cooler
tempeiature before shipping or offering
for sale.
Easter Lilies.
At this season Easter lily queries ar-
rive almost every day. It is generally
conceded that if the buds can be seen
when Lent comes in, the plants will
be all right if given an average night
temperature of 60 degrees. As Lent
arrives February 21, backward plants
should be given more heat and frequent
syringings to forward them. Plants
which are too dwarf can be lengthened
by placing them in a batch together and
shading them rather heavily. Do the
necessary hard forcing now, rather than
nearer Easter, and you will have flowers
of much greater substance.
Deciduous Shrubs for Easter.
Such deciduous shrubs as lilacs, wis-
tarias, mains, prunus, cratnpgus, cor-
chorus and forsythias should now be
placed in an ordinary greenhouse tem-
perature, in which they will break far
more strongly and bloom better than
when placed in a tropical temperature,

as too often is advised. For store and
shipping it is a decided advantage not
to have these shrubs too much opened;
particularly is this true of the malus,
prunus, wistarias and corchorus. Keep
these shrubs well sprayed until they
break, after which spray more moder-
ately.
RATS EUIN CABNATIONS.
For several days I have noticed that
buds on our carnation plants have been
nipped and partly eaten by rodents dur-
ing the night. Chickweeds also are
touched, but nothing else seems to be
disturbed and I have found no tracks
in the beds. I have noticed a few rats
around the place. Do you think they
are to blame? A. E. P.

AVERAGE CUT OF CARNATIONS.
I have a small greenhouse planted
with White Enchantress and Herald car-
nations. This is my first experience in
carnation growing; so I should like to
ask some questions on the subject. How
many blooms should one plant produce,
under ordinary conditions? How long
should they keep on blooming? I plant-
ed mine about the middle of October.
I was advised to put three inches of ma-
nure in the bottom of the bench and fill
the rest of the space, three inches, with
sod soil. Was that right? In three
months I have cut about two blooms per
plant. The Enchantress plants look per-
fectly healthy, but the Herald plants
do not look quite so well. The blooms
are not so large on either variety as they
were at first.
What is the best way to get rid of red
spider? I have a hot water boiler and
keep a temperature of about 50 de-
grees at night and 60 to 80 degrees dur-
ing the day. The stems are rather weak.
Shall I apply lime, and in what form?
W. P.— Neb.
A fair, average cut from carnations
planted in July or early August would
be about fifteen blooms to the plant.
Since your plants were not benched un-
til October, you could hardly expect so
many. Ten blooms per plant would per-
haps be a fair average in your case.
These late planted plants could not be
expected to give as steady a cut of
blooms as the earlier benched plants
would.
You put too much manure in the bot-
tom of the bench; one inch would have
been ample. If the rest of the manure
had been thoroughly mixed with the soil,
the plants would be the better for it.
The stems should begin to become
stronger, now that the sun is gaining in
strength, but a sprinkling of ground
limestone or air-slaked lime, watered in,
will help. To rid your plants of red
spider, get one of the Evans salt spray-
PIiANTS HAVE LOST VITALITY.
Can you tell us what is the matter
with our bench of carnations? We pre-
pared the soil carefully, using three
parts of good loam and one part of well
rotted cow manure. The plants, when
we bought them, seemed to be good,
strong stock, full of promise, and for a
time they did well, producing plenty
of good, strong-stemmed blooms. Then
they began to retrograde. The carna-
tion rust troubled them slightly, but
we controlled it by spraying, as advised
in The Review. Yet the plants con-
tinued to lose strength. The blooms
became smaller, the stems were weak
and there were many splits. Now some
of the i^nts are even getting so they
bear single blooms, like a garden pink.
We have fed them with bone meal,
with additional manure, and even with
plant food, but all to no avail; they
have no vitality. One florist told us
that we had been given old plants,
which had been benched before and
were practically done blooming anyway,
but we do not think that is correct.
We believe that the fault must be with
us, as this is our first year with the
greenhouse. Our sweet peas are excel-
lent and our bench of snapdragons is
a beautiful sight, but our carnations
are a failure. I should have added that
the temperature at night has run from
46 to 50 degrees and in the daytime
from 55 to 65 degrees.
F. H. M.— Mich.
Your letter does not give any clue
as to what might be wrong with your
carnations. If I could see a plant, I
might be able to tell something about
it. The fact that you got a good cut of
salable blooms in the fail would indicate
that the plants were good and that there
was nothing seriously wrong with the
soil. I hardly think that any firm that
makes a business of supplying field-
grown carnation plants would send you
old plants — that is, 2 years old.

Arcadia, Fla. — A. W. Zimmerman,
manager of the Arcadia Seed House, is
building a greenhouse covering 1,200
square feet, the first in this city.
Apopka, Fla. — Newell & Ustler state
tliat they will be unable to ship plants
for some time, as the ferns were frosted
in the big freeze of February 3, even if
protected by slat houses.
Tampa, Fla.— The Knull Floral Co.,
which had begun to do considerable
l)usiness in the way of supplying young
stock to the trade, reports that the
freeze of February 3 destroyed all un-
protected plants.
Florence, S. C. — The ventilating appa-
ratus wore the insulation off an electric
wire in the establishment of De Witt
House and sent 110 volts into the bench.
When Mr. House put his hand on the soil
he received the surprise of his life. As
no harm was done the stock, he sug-
gests the use of an electric current as
an insect exterminator.
West Palm Beach, Fla.— E. G. Gillett,
the Cincinnati wholesale florist, accom-
])anied by Mrs. Gillett, is here to spend
the month as guest of C. J. Ohmer, as-
]>aragus grower. "This country is a
revelation to me," he said to The Ee-
view February 10. ' ' The freeze a week
ago did thousands of dollars of damage,
all soft stock being ruined, but today
it is 70 degrees again and summer."
Pass Christian, Miss. — "Our old
friend, Horace Cheeseman,came breezing
in on the coldest day of the year, freez-
ing up all the vegetation," says J. B.
Adams, ' ' but we had a fine crop under
cover and surprised him with fresh let-
tuce salad for dinner. But that night
Mr. Cheeseman's roost, the Mexican
Gulf hotel, burned down. However, he
carried a good bulb order when he went
away. ' '
Orlando, Fla. — This is the report of
F. W. Fletcher, well known in the trade
as formerly located at Auburndale,
Mass., now proprietor of the Bosalind
Gardens here: "Florida has experienced
another heavy freeze. February 2 a
howling northwester, straight from the
icebergs of Alaska, swept the state. The
minimum at Orlando February 3 was 22
degrees. That night was clear, with tem-
peratures ranging from 32 degrees at 6
p. m. to 17 degrees at 6:30 the next
morning. These temperatures, with
slight variations, seem to have pre-
vailed over the entire state. The dam-
age can hardly be estimated at present
writing. Citrus fruits on the trees, es-
timated at about $5,000,000, are frozen.
Young citrus trees and nursery stock
mostly are destroyed. Bearing orange
and grapefruit trees are damaged, but to
what extent cannot be determined for
some time. All vegetable crops, except
cabbage, are a total loss."

James King.
James King, nurseryman at Elmhurst,
HI., and well known in the florists'
trade in Ofaicago, died at his home
February 9. He was 72 years of age
and a member of the pioneer King
family of Connecticut. He was born
in New Haven and removed to the Chi-
cago district twenty-six years ago, en-
gaging in the nursery and landscape
business at Elmhurst, later acquiring
property at Wheaton, HI., also used for
nursery purposes. In recent years he
became something of a peony specialist
and in addition to a wholesale business
in the roots he shipped large quantities
of cut blooms to the Chicago market.
Mr. King is survived by Mrs. King
and a son, George, who will continue
the business.
F. G. Lelunann.
F. G. Lehmann, for fifty years a florist
of Anamosa, la., died last week, at the
age of 82. He was born in Germany and
emigrated to this country on reaching
his majority. Years later he started a
florists' business at Anamosa and was
successful from the start. In 1915 he
turned the business over to his son-in-
law, E. L. Harvey, who conducts it
today.
Mr. Lehmann 's ambition to paint was
thwarted because of partial blindness,
but after 60 years of age this hope was
realized, when, under the tutelage of a
daughter who studied art, he produced
several pictures of real merit. When his
residence and paintings were burned a
few years ago, Mr. Lehmann received
insurance on his pictures amounting to
more than that of the house and house-
hold goods combined.
Adam Fehr.
After several months' illness, Adam
Fehr, a resident of Belleville, HI., for
more than half a century, died on the
first of the month in a Belleville hos-
pital, Mr. Fehr was born in Germany,
November 30, 1828, and emigrated to
the United States in 1850. Subsequently
he opened a store at Belleville, which
now is conducted by his son, Adolf Fehr.
The decedent is survived by three sons
and two daughters.
Calvin H. Coz.
Calvin H. Cox, aged 45 years, a widely
known florist of Springfield, O., passed
away suddenly last month, death re-
sulting after a short illness from acute
diabetes. Mr. Cox was born at Don-
nelsville, O., and twenty years ago
moved to Springfield. Although by
training a bookkeeper, !Mr. Cox soon
after his arrival at Springfield aban-
doned oflSce work for greenhouse work.
Besides his wife, two children survive.
Washington, Pa. — Feeling the need
of an organization through which they
could cooperate for the common good
of the trade, the florists here February 6
formed the Gardeners' and Florists'
Club of Washington, Pa., with the fol-
lowing oflScers: President, J. O. Min-
ton; vice-president, Charles McGowan;
secretary-treasurer, William J. Warrick,
Jr. The meetings will be held in the
Community building and will be open
to all.
Dover, N. H. — C. L. Howe intends to
erect a rose house as soon as the weather
becomes settled.
New Salem, Mass. — F. D. Cogswell is
celebrating his first anniversary in the
business as a grower of greenhouse vege-
tables and pot plants.
Needliam, Mass. — With reference to
recent inquiries in The Review with re-
gard to sources of supply of Tomato
Balch's Fillbasket, David McKenzie, of
the Needham Conservatories, says he is
growing the variety, using seed ob-
tained from Henry F. Michell Co.,
Philadelphia.
Dover, N. H. — H. E. Meader recently
returned from a short business trip to
Massachusetts, in which state he called
on S. E. Spencer, of Woburn, and L. M.
Gage, of Natick. Mr. Meader says that
gladiolus bulbs are selling well and be-
lieves that there will be a scarcity in
the larger sizes before long.
Natick, Mass. — S. Eugene Colburn,
whose specialty has been hardy stock,
bulbs, pansies, etc., is preparing to build
a small greenhouse.
Salem, Mass. — A florists' business has
been launched here by Harold W, King-
ston, who says he intends to erect a
large greenhouse in the spring.
Hebron, Me. — Beginning with hardy
perennials and bedding plants, George
H. Woodward says he hopes to become
a producer of all kinds of stock as the
business grows.
Amherst, Mass. — Prof. Frank A.
Waugh, head of the Division of Horti-
culture at the Massachusetts Agricul-
tural College, has been appointed con-
sulting landscape architect to the gov-
ernment forest service. He has been
granted a six months' leave of absence
from college work to make a tour of in-
spection of the Imperial valley in Cali-

John Walker, of Youngstown, O., will
head a quartette of local celebrities to
visit the various plantations on the Isle
of Pines, West Indies. A heavy crop
of grape fruit is promised on the island,
but, as remarked one, "It may prove
sour, as was a crop of oranges last year,
when a storm swept over our lands and
blew down the entire crop. ' '
Fred Burki, of Allegheny, one of the
travelers, has gone ahead. "We shall
return for the Easter business," ob-
served Mr. Walker, ' ' when we expect to
have our usual big stock of potted
plants in good shape."
H. W. Cade, of Youngstown, remarked
that, while the town was not the gold
mine imagined by some, the florists
were certainly doing a good volume of
general business. The holiday trade
called for a higher grade of stock and
the prices were willingly paid.
Adgate & Son, of Warren, C, report
an exceptional run of funeral work.
"All of it helps to swell the grand
total, ' ' observed Frank Adgate.
The J. H. Cunningham establishment
at Delaware, O., is being conducted
along the lines laid down by the founder.
George vv., son and successor, mentioned
an unusual demand for stock.
"In our long experience in the busi-
ness," observed W. H. Underwood, of
Underwood Bros., Columbus, C, "I do
not recall a more unsatisfactory situa-
tion regarding plant sales during the
holidays. This stock," referring to a
house of Begonia luminosa, "was the
most profitable of all. It was raised
from seed, easily grown and in fine shape
for the holiday trade. Any plants left
over are acceptable for window boxes.
We wonder why luminosa is not more
largely grown. It is a good plant for
the house under ordinary conditions.
Now look at that fine lot of specimen
azaleas in full bloom — no sales at any
price. Our experience was a sad one
and doubtless similar to that of many
others. A part of the azalea shipment
went astray, although we had them sent
by express from New York. The miss-
ing case turned up late, with the plants
badly damaged. Now we have to wres-
tle with the express company for settle-
ment. I tell you, in future we intend to
grow more flowering stock, even if we
have to sacrifice space, such as chrysan-
themums, for instance; or else secure the
plants from the grower earlier and finish
them ourselves. Azaleas when carried
over are rarely so good the second year,
in our experience. Of course, there are
exceptions," concluded Mr. Underwood.
J. E. Hellenthal, of Columbus, looks
for a banner spring trade. "One thing
is certain, we will not need to be told
more than once to take away the empty
pots from the backyard when bedding-
out time comes; in fact, we are figuring
out the extra cost now and will tack it
on the plants wherever possible," ob-
served Mr. Hellenthal.
The Bell Floral Co., of Franklin, Pa.,
experienced a merry jingle through the
holiday season. Now a gentle tinkling
is heard, which will increase in volume
as spring opens. Stock is in excelltnt
shape.
H. J. Krueger, of Meadville, Pa., long
planned to attend the carnation con-
vention at Indianapolis. He remarked
that he had always found it profitable
to be present. The business is left
in charge of his mother, who has been
actively interested in it since it was
founded by the late August Krueger.

The Review brings results.
There will be no trouble in moving
stock this spring; all that will be neces-
sary is that it be good quality and ready
in time.
Carnation cuttings seldom have sold
better than is the case this season, espe-
cially with those who offer the up-to-date
varieties.
Collections are reported slow in the
trade. Evidently those who sell to the
public are not getting their money in as
fast as they should.
Greenhouses that were empty after
the Christmas rush are filling up again.
A late Easter always means congestion,
with two crops to be matured within a
few weeks of each other.
Many growers who have had indiffer-
ent success with roses have turned to
carnations because they will bloom with
less care. And perhaps therein lies a
reason for a loss of popularity and de-
clining prices of carnations.
Asparagus, the bunched plumosus
sprays, the supply of which recently h^s
come principally from Florida, but which
has been scarce this season, was still
further reduced by the severe cold of
early February, much of the stock being
severely frozen.
If a grower is not making money this
season, in spite of increased expenses, he
should take a look around. The prob-
abilities are he will find his trouble in
one or more of three places: Either his
quality is not up to the requirements of
the market, the quantity produced is
below the capacity of the place, or the
income is dissipated by lack of conserva-
tive management.
One hears of growers who say they will
plant no mums this year, or at least no
early or mid-season varieties, but it is a
safe wager the total planting of the au-
tumn queen exceeds even last year's
record.
Last week the mails from the west
were delayed, some of them for days,
and now it is the east that is weather-
bound. Of The Review's eastern mail
due Monday some of it had not arrived
at closing hour Tuesday afternoon.
Charles W. Johnson, secretary, has
sent out a tabular report of the work
of the committees to judge seedlings for
the Chrysanthemum Society of America,
showing that forty-three varieties, count-
ing all types, were passed on last sea-
eon. The scores were recorded in The
Review from week to week as made.
OPEN AT THE BACK.
The editor always has claimed that it
was his work, rather than that of the
circulation manager, which was respon-
sible for the necessity of printing 12,-
500 copies of each issue of The Re-
view. But they both got a jolt when
this letter came in:
Enclosed please find check for $1.50 for an-
other year's subscription. The Review is the
only magazine of ail those I talce that I almost
always open from the back and work forwards so
as to see the advertisements first. — ,Tohn P. Nel-
list. Grand Rapids, Mich., February 5, 1917.
The advertising manager asserts that
when you hear a man complain of the
cost of advertising you can be pretty
sure he spends a good bit of money else-
where than in The Review.
A BUSY FOETNIGHT.
Although there was not even one
trade exhibition of major importance in
the United States last autumn, what was
lacking then is to be made up for with
good measure next month, when the sec-
tion of the trade which participates in
such enterprises will be confronted with
the task resulting from three flower
shows of more than local importance
overlapping each other within the span
of nine days. It means the most active
spring show season the trade ever has
had.
Perhaps first place should be given to
the Rose Festival to be held in Phila-
delphia, for the reason that it is the
undertaking of one of the national or-
ganizations, the American Rose Society.
It is the first time the Rose Society has
undertaken an exhibition indepen-
dently of any other organization. Plans
have been made on a most ambitious
scale, the First Regiment armory hav-
ing been engaged, and the affair with-
out doubt will be the largest exclusive
rose show ever held on this continent.
The dates are March 20 to 23.
Longest in duration and most preten-
tious in title is the exhibition to be held
at the Grand Central Palace in New
York city, from March 15 to 22. This
is the joint undertaking of the New
York Florists' Club and the Horticul-
tural Society q,f New York and is called
the International Flower Show. Last
year's affair was highly successful, but
it is the expectation of the management
that this year's show in New York will
represent a larger cash taking than any
previous show in America.
The exhibition season, however, will
open simultaneously at New York and
St. Louis, the date of the spring show
in the Missouri metropolis being March
15 to 18. Aa armory has been engaged.
It is the first attempt at a spring show
in that city, calculated to stir up interest
there in the 1918 spring exhibition,
which will be the National Flower Show
of the S. A. F. This year 's premium list
is comprehensive and the management
counts on drawing a considerable meas-
ure of support from eastern exhibitors.
That there will be a large attendance of
those in the trade is assured by the fact
that there will be no other spring show
in the west.
ASKS PUBLIC TO HEIiP.
The public is being asked by the Of-
fice of Horticultural Investigations of
the U. S. Department of Agriculture to
contribute to the test gardens at Arling-
tin, Va., roses and peonies of varieties
not now represented in the test collec-
tions there. At the present time ap-
proximately 700 varieties of roses and
400 varieties of peonies are growing in
the Arlington gardens. These represent
about one-half the varieties of each of
these flowers believed to exist in the
United States.
The Department of Agriculture is
creating the test gardens in cooperation
with the American Rose Society and the
American Peony Society. The rose gar-
den was begun in 1915. The peony col-
lection was started last fall. The ma-
jority of the plants have been contrib-
uted by nurserymen and florists, though
many have been given by amateurs.
Persons who believe they have varie-
ties of roses or peonies not represented
in the Arlington gardens and who wish
to contribute to the collections should
first write to the Office of Horticultural
Investigations, Washington, D. C, of-
fering specific varieties or requesting a
list of the varieties desired.
CHICAGO.
The Market.
The extremely cold weather last week
shortened the supply in practically all
lines. The end of the week found busi-
ness good, a steady demand keeping the
market well cleaned up, with prices hold-
ing well and in some cases advancing
above the quoted figures.
The present week opened with stock
as scarce as ever and the demand the
heaviest ever known for St. Valentine's
day; indeed, some of the observers re-
marked that it was more like Christmas
than St. Valentine's. Shipping trade
was excellent and covered an unusually
wide radius. February 12, also a holi-
day, stock sold so rapidly that local
buyers who came a little later in the
day experienced some difficulty in find-
ing desirable material for the Lincoln's
birthday observances. Perhaps the only
exception to the general clean-up was
Freesia Purity, which, though of good
quality, was found somewhat difficult to
move.
American Beauties are still scarce, al-
though some growers are beginning to
come in crop and this increase in the
supply is making for an easier market.
Demand is good and prices are holding
up well. Mrs. Russell is in short supply,,
but the quality on the average is good.
Other varieties of roses also are in short
supply and are selling well. Shorter
lengths clean out first, red, yellow and
pink varieties being given the prefer-
ence over white, but no difficulty is
found in moving the longer stock at ex-
cellent prices. The supply of carnations

has Bhortened considerably and they sell
well at somewhat improved prices. As
in the case of roses, red varieties have
been in special request this week, being
best suited to St. Valentine 's purposes.
Easter lilies are scarce and sell well at
good prices. The same is true of callas.
Violets have suffered considerably from
the severe cold, many shipments from
the east arriving in a frozen condition.
Sweet peas are in good supply and
move readily. Calendulas and mignon-
ette are more plentiful but clear readily.
Paper Whites are in comparatively light
supply and are not difficult to move.
Tulips are more abundant and are sell-
ing better than the week previous. Jon-
quils and daffodils also are in heavier
supply. The better stock is bringing
good prices. A few stevia still arrive.
Snapdragons are beginning to come in
crop. The quality is considerably im-
proved and a variety of colors is offered.
They clear easily.
The freeze in Florida last week has
hit the market via the supply of aspara-
gus. For a considerable time Chicago
has depended principally on Florida
plumosus, with a small quantity of in-
door stock and some from California.
The supply has not been so large as
usual at any time this season and now
most of the Florida growers have been
put where they will have nothing to
ship for at least six weeks.
Ferns are going up, some of the houses
having advanced their quotations to $3
per thousand. There are intimations
that there will be fireworks in ferns this
spring if the freeze in the south has
done anything to reduce the early supply
from that source.

Fuel Famine Passing.
The growers who are not forehanded
in the matter of fuel have had an ex-
tremely trying fortnight, the week end-
ing February 12 having been the worst
of the year, with zero temperature and
high winds to increase consumption and
an embargo up to Lincoln's birthday on
all roads bringing coal from the smoke-
less fields of West Virginia. It is not
of record that any greenhouses froze
up for want of fuel, but scores of them
have been dependent on the day's de-
livery to get through the night. The
necessity has been so great that the
high cost has occasioned little comment.
With the breaking of the cold wave
February 12 and the lifting of the em-
bargo that has prevented shipment of
smokeless coal for more than a week,
conditions are easing and it is thought
that there will be no more danger this
season.

meetings of wholesalers have been held
for the discussion of business problems

sary, so little do the heads of the houses
come in contact. At a meeting Febru-
ary 10 it was proposed that a dinner
be held at 6:30 p. m., February 16, at
which it is hoped to secure the attend-
ance of the manager of every wholesale

it may be possible to effect a permanent
organization. The idea is that a month-

quaintance, which will go far toward
making business pleasant. The commit-
tee to arrange the initial dinner consists
of 0. W. Frese, Phil Schupp, Paul Kling-

able, it never seriously threatened the
rest of the building. Several wholesal-
ers, nevertheless, as a precautionary
measure, had their stock ready for quick
removal should the necessity arise.
It is reported that the Fleischman
Floral Co. has renewed its lease on the
double store and basement space it oc-
cupies in the Eailway Exchange build-
ing. This store long has been said to
pay the highest rent of any florist west
of New York and it is understood that
for the recent renewal the price was ad-
vanced to $10,000 per year.
Peter Keinberg has started planting
his roses for next season. Three houses
each of Ophelia, Milady and Champ
Weiland, all from 2%-inch pots, have
already been planted.
To visitors at the office of the Amer-
ican Bulb Co., Sam Seligman exhibits a
passport issued by the State Department
for a business trip to Japan. He will
sail from Seattle March 1 and expects to
be away until sometime in August.
The daily newspapers last week car-
ried an item about a greenhouse em-
ployee who mistook nicotine extract for
whisky, with the inevitable result. It
has not been possible to confirm the
facts and it seems doubtful if any florist
would make such an error.
James King, who died at Elmhurst
February 9, had for many years been a
large shipper to the A. L: Kandall Co.,
of pussy willows, peonies, etc. The nurs-
ery business will be continued by his
son, George King.
The expense of doing business has in-
creased so greatly in the last two years,
according to George Wienhoeber, as to
necessitate a change of policy in the
matter of special sales. No retailer,
says Mr. "Wienhoeber, can afford a spe-
cial sale that involves cutting the mar-
gin of profit; such sales now can be han-
dled only by obtaining flowers below the
usual costs, which has not been possible
of late.
Emil Eeichling, greenhouse superin-
tendent for Peter Keinberg, was con-
fined to his bed last week with an attack
of the grip.
An increase of fifty per cent for the
week of February 1 to 9 over the same
period last year, is what the records of
the Chicago Flower Growers' Associa-
tion show, according to Paul Klingsporn.
Business during January showed an in-
crease of twenty-five per cent over last
year, he says.
This is proving an exceptionally good
season for Sam Pearce, who has been
marketing great quantities of jonquils.
daffodils and tulips, obtaining better
prices than usual, perhaps because he
was ready a little earlier than a major-
ity of the growers of bulbous stock.
J. Marks, of A. Henderson & Co., has
returned from an eastern trip.
Joseph Ziska & Sons are nicely set-
tled in their new quarters at 169 to 175
North Wabash avenue. The increased
space will permit the expansion of their
line in accordance with long cherished
plans.
The St. Valentine 's day call for bulb-
ous stock exceeded Peter Pearson's
rather sanguine expectations. He had
all he could do.
A continually increasing business has
made it necessary for the A. L. Kandall
Co. to enlarge its office space by fifty
per cent. A. L. Kandall and F. M. John-
son have returned from their winter
holiday in Cuba.
Valentine business this year was the
best it ever has been at Bassett &
Washburn's, according to C. L. Wash-
burn.
The "Happiness for Little Tots" de-
partment of the A, L. Kandall Co. is
rapidly being brought to completion
under the management of Frank J.
Farney. This department will handle a
line of specialties for babies.

The Bohannon Floral Co. is preparing

of the most attractive in the downtown

success.
Visitors.
Ralph M. Ward, New York bulb mer-
chant and plant importer, was in town
last week.
D. F. Harrison, greenhouse cucumber
grower at Kankakee, 111., was a visitor
February 13, looking up the possibilities
of a crop of sweet peas or other cut flow-
ers to take the place of a house of cu-
cumbers 65x450 burned in fumigating
With hydrocyanic acid gas.
OMAHA, NEB.
The Market.
The extremely cold weather that has
prevailed for the last few weeks has
not hurt business so much as one might
suspect; in fact, the retailers say they
never saw business so good before at
this time of the year. Funeral work
has been unusually heavy.
The supply of roses is on the increase,
except the short grades, which are still
scarce. Easter lilies are not plentiful
and those who have this stock find a
ready sale for it at good prices. Callas
are also in light supply. Tulips have
made their appearance and, though short
of stem, move well.
Various Notes.
The blizzard that struck Omaha and
vicinity at the first of the month was
hard on the growers. It increased the al-
ready high coal bills and caused much
extra work. With the wind at a velocity
of thirty-five miles per hour and the tem-
perature at 23 below zero, it was a hard
proposition for many of the growers to
keep from freezing out. Fortunately,
only a few suffered slight damage.
Lewis Henderson had his share of fu-
neral work last week, having several
designs of unusually large size.
A. Hruban states that he experienced
a surprisingly large business last week.

Heavy funeral work kept the force busy
early and late.
"Business never was better with
downtown retailers," stated S. B.
Stewart, of Stewart 's Seed Store. ' * We
turned out almost as many orders Satur-
day, February 10, as we did at any time
around the holidays."
A. Hooge, who has conducted a store
under the name of The Fernery for the
last two years, has disposed of his busi-
ness to C. E. Baldwin. It is the inten-
tion of the new owner to greatly in-
crease the floor space of the store and,
besides handling cut flowers and plants,
he will carry a full line of bulbs, seeds
and nursery stock.
F. H. Swanson suffered some damage
to stock during the memorable blizzard.
Janousek Bros., of Prospect Hill, and
Joseph Zedana also suffered light dam-
age to their stock.
The regular meeting of the Florists'
Club was held on the evening of Febru-
ary 8. Only a small number of members
attended. Some excellent ideas were sug-
gested, voted on and approved. Among
the proposals was a campaign of two
months* duration to increase the mem-
bership to seventy-five or 100. Member-

The Market.
This week has been characterized by
exceptionally good business in all lines;
counter trade has been brisk, decora-
tions numerous and funeral work heavy.
Indications pointed to a big St. Valen-
tine's day for the florists. The florists
worked hard for this end by making at-
tractive display windows and inserting
unusually clever advertisements in the
daily papers.
As yet the rose scarcity has not beom
relieved. A few more have come into
the market, but the increased demand
has taken care of these, making the
situation the same as before. A few
more short grades are appearing and
bringing from $3 to $20. Carnations ^re
scarce and the quality is nothing to brag
about in most cases, but notwithstand-
ing this they are making from $3 to $4.
It is the belief of some dealers that the
call for carnations has increased since
the show, and that if a larger supply had
been on hand it would easily have
cleared.

From appearances, it would seem that
small flowers, such as freesias, sweet
peas and violets, were rare, but this is
not 80. There has been a large cut, but
there also has been a steady demand to
utilize it. Practically the only flowers
that dragged were the Paper Whites.
They have cleaned poorly at $2 per
|iundred. These have been of good qual-
ity and it is hard to account for their
lack of popularity. There is not an ap-
parent oversupply of them and funeral

Valley has loosened up and an ample
supply of orchids is on hand. Prospects
for a supply of potted plants for St.
Valentine 's day were good, azaleas,
cyclamens, genistas and a general line
of bulbous stock looking most promising.
A depression in southern greens has been
felt. Smilax has been hard to procure
and the supply of fernJeaves is limited.
As a consequence ingenious florists have
been using cut boxwoods for greens.
These in many cases have been satisfac-
tory.

The Market.
The extreme cold continues, cutting
down the amount of business and the
quantity of flowers. Business suffers
most, with about the same quantity of
flowers as a week ago. The market is
easier. This is shown by the fact that
buyers who a week ago would take sub-
stitutes are now able to have their
orders filled more nearly as desired.
There is no especial change in prices.
The flowers most sought and most
scarce have not advanced and the
flowers most plentiful have not declined
except in a few instances. The shipping
demand is the mainstay of the market.
Much fine stock went out of town on
Lincoln 's birthday for St. Valentine 's,
although the wholesalers thought the
extreme cold curtailed the orders, par-
ticularly for violets. The local orders
for St. Valentine 's day commenced in
earnest February 13, continuing until
the following morning. While all re-
ports are not in, the indications point
to active business for that day.
Beauties still are in fair supply at good
but not extreme prices. Other roses are
enjoying an active week, with an ad-
vance on fancy Russell and Hadley and
brisk buying in the shorts of staple
varieties. Carnations are sold at an
average price that is a shade lower than
a week ago. Violets are moderate in
price, even for St. Valentine's day,
owing to the cold. Sweet peas of the
Spencer type are popular. Daffodils sell
well, but tulips are not good stock. Their
quality is fair, but people do not seem
crazy about them. Callas are freely
used. There are a good many more
Easter lilies. Valley is less abundant.
Fine gardenias sell better than the ordi-
nary grade. Greens are scarce.

their greetings.
The London Flower Shop is evidently
in favor with people of refined taste.
There is an air of coziness that appeals
at once to the visitor, making the pretty
flower and plant combinations appear to
advantage. A deep blue vase of calla
lilies with their broad foliage, a pale blue
bowl with a pink begonia planted in its
neatly fitting receptacle, are charming.
Add to these bits of color sufficient

T'pstairs is the art gallery, where a
K'oat variety of pretty and unique ob-
jects of art, mostly flower and plant
vases, are tastefully displayed. There
are slender Japanese vases, broad Dutch
bowls, English Ruskin ware extremely
lif,dit and beautifully colored, pottery
from our own country east and west,
novel telephon>s covers and many other
things of interest. Even a cursory view
made it clear how much time and
thought and knowledge had been spent
in gathering that collection. One young
\voman is kept busy painting flowers and
Idrds and pretty designs on the vases.
Discussing flowers, Mr. Tabor said
that floral valentines are growing in
|iopularity. He strongly urged that
llorists give each other carte blanche in
tlieir orders whenever possible. It is
to the benefit of all alike to allow the
person entrusted with the order to use
'liscretion. The variety of flower or
plant designated in a telegram may be
scarce or impossible in the market where
the order is to be filled, while something
else, quite desirable, that would answer
just as well may be ready at hand.
^Ir. Tabor believes that a retail florist
starting in business today should be so
situated that nothing need be taken out
of the business for two years. In this
'"'•i.y a paying business can be built up
and credit maintained meanwhile.
The soundness of this principle is
evidenced in the high standing of the
London Flower Shop.

The Plant Growers' Meeting.
About twenty-five of the leading plant
growers of this district met at the estab-
lishment of the Robert Craig Co., Febru-
ary 10, to discuss the plant situation.
After going thoroughly into every phase
of the subject, it was the unanimous
opinion of those present that an advance
in plant rates next spring is a neces-
sity because of the increase in the cost
of production. A committee of five, con-
sisting of Fred Ilahman, chairman; Ed-
ward Asehmann, David B. Colflesh, Ed-
ward Alburger and Walter Davis, was
appointed to call a meeting of all the
plant growers, to be held in tlie Florists'

ter. "United we stand; divided we

The Market.
It is winter in earnest, with the tem-
perature hugging zero during the last
week, but rose shipments are increasing.
At the week's end there was an abun-
dance of everything and Saturday night
enough stock of all kinds was left over
to begin this week with. But growers
have had no occasion to complain as
to their returns. The average recently
has been nearly double that of a year
ago.
The call for short-stemmed roses re-
mains as strong as during Januarj'.
There never seems to be enough of these
to meet the demand. American Beauties
were held at top quotations most of last
week. February 8 a few of the stores
on Fifth avenue were obliged to give $1
each for the selects, but 75 cents may
be quoted as generally the top, and
the stock had to be choice to bring that
figure. Hadley maintains its record val-
ues and all the novelties and special
varieties hold at close to the quotations
of a week ago.
Carnations have held up wonderfully
until now. The best flowers broke to
$4 per hundred February 10. This price
was for the specialties only. Many thou-
sands were sold at $3 per hundred and
even as low as $20 per thousand.
Longiflorum lilies did not sell above
$12 per hundred, although the long-
stemmed and selected flowers were held
by some of the wholesalers at 15 cents
each. A good many were sold at $10
per hundred. Valley also was depressed,
little of it selling above $4 per hundred.
Gardenias are plentiful and the general
quality is good. As high as $4 per dozen
is realized for the best flowers.
There are too many short-stemmed
tulips. It is hard to dispose of them at
a price satisfactory to the growers. The
supply of frecsia is greater than the
market desires and jtriccs fell last week.
The best of it, however, still holds at
three bunches for $1. Callas are lower
in price and shipments are increasing.
Narcissi are in light supply, but dafi'o-
dils are abundant. Last week 50 cents
per hundred was top for violets, the cold
weather being accountable for this fig-
ure. The first warm wave will see them
on the street again.
The shipments of sweet peas are in-
creasing and some of the Spencers are

Last week's business averages be-
low normal. The prospects for a good
St. Valentine's day business seemed
bright, but at this writing it seems like-
ly that there will be a shortage of roses
and corsage flowers. Bulbous stock and
carnations have been in overabundance,
but roses few and far between. Amer-
ican Beauties do not seem to be in much
demand. Some fine orchids arrive each
week from Canada and sell readily.

The coal situation is about the worst
that has ever been experienced in this
neighborhood. The embargo is still on,
and wliat,little fuel does get as far as
Ontaiid is confiscated bv the railways
vithout discrimination. The florists arc
having a trying time of it. The Dale
Estate's supply of coal fortunately has
held out, otherwise none would have
been able to borrow, beg or steal coal
from any outside source.
Ever since Christmas extremely cold
weather has prevailed, without a single
day's relief, and tiiis week it began with
a temperature of 22 degrees below zero,
making long-distance shipments decid-
edly risky, especially in the west.
It is reported that H. L. Janzen, of
Kitchener, had seven houses frozen out
on the night of February 11. Narrow
escapes seem to have been common oc-

ing and seeing evidences of the wonder-
ful prosperity of the country, many of
them think that their share of the gold-
en stream has been somewhat slow in
turning in Louisville's direction; but
at last some of the florists feel safe in
saying that they are beginning to real-
ize on some of the golden harvest. Of
course, we all know the Christmas busi-
ness was the greatest in history, but
until that time flowers had been in less
demand.
During the last month, despite the
bad weather conditions, the florists have
been constantly taxed to their capacity
in turning out work for various occa-
sions. The greatest handicap has been
the shortage of stock, especially roses
and giganteum lilies. There is a marked
shortage of Asparagus plumosus, Spren-
geri and other greens, making it neces-
sary to use quantities of leucothoe and
mahonia sprays. At one store a great
deal of redwood and other flat-leaved
evergreens from Chicago were being
worked up into funeral work.
Sweet peas and violets were expected
in splendid crop for St. Valentine 's day.
The indications were that St. Valen-
tine's day business would be close to a
Christmas rush. Were it not for the pot
plants, cyclamens, primulas and bulbous

having made a specialty of this flower

D. L. Swift is at present bringing in
some of the best Eadiance roses the

some excellent carnations. If the quan-

Mr. Swift soon would be spending his
winters at Palm Beach, hobnobbing with
other plutocrats.
It is reported that one of the large
local growers lost two houses of stock
by frost during the cold snap.
T. H. Hustedt, of Midway, who has
been devoting his time and business to
cyclamen culture, has been meeting with
unusual success. A special strain of his
own growing is of great merit, the
blooms, instead of the usual five or six

petals, besides being larger than the or-

lish and Dutch enthusiasts in the last
few years have turned their efforts to
the production of newer and better va-
rieties, and their endeavors have met
with wonderful success. Beautiful
shapes and rare colors have been at-
tained, and it will not be long before
nearly all the varieties which we now
use will have to give up their places to
the newer ones.
One fact which applies to hyacinths,
tulips and daffodils is that we cut the
flowers before they are ripe. If left
to ripen they would go to seed, and this
would not only take too much strength
out of the bulb, but a certain fungus
would grow in the plants and would
soon spread to the leaves, killing the
plants long before the bulbs had at-
tained their full growth.

FRENCH HYDBANGEAS.
Will you kindly give me some infor-
mation regarding our French hydran-
geas? They are potbound and seem to
have stopped growing. Their foliage is
dropping. They are in 3-inch pots.
G. F. C— Tenn.
You cannot do much with hydrangeas
of any kind in 3-inch pots. While you
do not say so, I assume that these were
propagated last year. In order to get
any growth on them the balls should
have been loosened and the plants given
a shift into 4^4-ineh pots. It may not
be too late to do this even now, but you
must not expect plants of this size to
do much for you in the way of flowers.
If you will root some cuttings this
month or in March and grow them along
carefully, you ought to have plants fit
for at least 7-inch pots before fall, and
these, if well ripened, will make splen-
did stock for another season. 0. W.

or chicken manure cure this trouble?
We have sold many araucarias of this
variety and most of them are doing
well, but three or four customers have
'•omplained of the ailing condition de-
scribed above. One buyer made us ex-
change the dead plants for a fern, after-
ward informing us that he had given the
araucarias a dressing of chicken ma-
nure. We have a plant in the house that
was fed with liquid ammonia and a
"plant food." The outside roots were
dead when the plant was removed from
the pot. Any suggestions as to this'
trouble and its cause will be appreciated.
W. C. F. C— Can.
There is no doubt that the araucarias
in question were victims of too strong
fertilizers, chicken manure and liquid
ammonia being altogether too much' for
these plants. The only safe fertilizer
to use for araucarias is either well rot-

PLANTS FOB CHRISTMAS.
Kindly advise me through The Ee-
view when I should sow seeds of sola-
nums, Begonia Gloire de Chatelaine and
Impatiens Sultani, so as to have nice
plants for Christmas. W. C. H. — Pa.
Sow the solanum seed now. At the
proper time prick them off into flats;
then pot them off singly. They should
be gradually hardened and planted out-
doors early in May. Field-grown sola-
nums are better in every way than pot-
grown ones. Such fibrous-rooted bego-
nias as Gloire de Chatelaine, Vernon, La
Vesuve and Erfordii should be sown
as soon as possible; also, Impatiens Sul-
tani. The last-named is not exactly a
Christmas plant, however, being at its
best when the weather is warmest and
being easily chilled in winter.

ST. LOUIS.
The Market.
The wholesalers report an excellent
demand last week for stock of all kinds.
Carnations and roses were scarce, the
supply being far short of the demand,
and clea^-up sales were reported daily.
Prices were reasonable in all grades.
The retailers report plenty of social
work. The demand for flowers should be
great this week on account of St. Valen-
tine's day; a great rush is expected, es-
pecially for violets. These were expect-
ed to be quite plentiful. All local grow-
ers at present seem to be off crop on
roses. Extra fine Kussell, Ophelia and
Killarney roses bring good, stiff prices.
Carnations are sold at $4 per hundred
for choice stock, and the stock coming in
is fine. The Enchantress varieties are in
the majority and have the call over
other varieties, although Matchless,
Beacon and Ward sell well.
There is a decided scarcity of Easter
lilies and callas. These had a big de-
mand during the week. Jonquils and
tulips are cleaning up daily at good
prices. Choice jonquils bring $4 per
hundred and tulips $3 per hundred.
Fancy butterfly sweet peas clean up
daily at good prices, with the common va-
rieties at lower prices. The best in the
fancies bring $1 per hundred. Forced
white lilac sells well at $1.50 per bunch
and Paper Whites bring $2.50 per hun-
dred.
In greens there are plenty of galax,
flat fern and smilax. Plumosus and adi-
antum were scarce last week.
Club Meeting.
The St. Louis Florists' Club held an
interesting meeting February 8 in the
salesrooms of the George Angermueller
wholesale house. The big feature of the
meeting was an exhibition of cut flow-
ers, which was staged in the center of
the room. W. A. Eowe, of Kirkwood,
staged carnations, snapdragons, jon-
quils, calendulas and freesias. G. M.
Thost, of De Soto, Mo., had a vase of
good forget-me-nots and snapdragons.
Joseph Hauser, of Webster Groves,
showed extra fine violets. O. C. May ex-
hibited sweet peas and jonquils of ex-
ceptionally good quality. M. F. Wid-

Wholesale and Retail Florist of Grand Rapids
mer, of Highland, 111., had a vase of
fancy carnations.
The meeting was well attended, there
being about fifty members and a num-
ber of visitors present. After the pre-
liminaries, committees were called on
for reports. The report of the spring
flower show committee was interesting,
and a great success seems assured.
Applications for membership were re-
ceived from Ivan Erickson, of the Blos-
som Shop, and A. B. Mclntire, of the
Missouri Botanical Garden. The com-
mittee on the applications of Martin
Seeger and Guy Reburn reported favor-
ably and the applicants' election fol-
lowed.
A letter from Theodore Wirth, chair-
man of the S. A. F. convention garden
committee, stated that if the National
Flower Show and the S. A. F. conven-
tion are held at the same time, April,
1918, there would be no need of a con-
vention garden. After a lengthy dis-
cussion it was decided to ask the execu-
tive board of the S. A. F., which meets
in New York next month, that the
S. A. F. convention be held in conjunc-
tion with the National Flower Show,

April, 1918. In that event there would
be no need of a convention garden.
J. F. Ammann, president of the Amer-
ican Carnation Society, was then called
on for a report of the recent meeting
and exhibition of the society held at
Indianapolis. W. J. Pilcher, W. A. Rowe
and S. E. Cerny, who also attended the
meeting, gave their reports.
Messrs. Guy, Fillmore and Beyer were
appointed judges of the flowers on ex-
hibition. A rising vote of thanks was
extended to Mr. Angermueller for the
use of his place for the meeting. After
adjournment the members partook of re-
freshments and cigars. Then "Billy"
Smith in his happy way auctioned off
the flowers on exhibition to the high-
est bidders. The next meeting of tho
club will be held March 8, one week be-
fore the spring flower show opens.
Various Notes.
The St. Louis Seed Co. February 6
sustained a heavy loss from a fire which
started in the building next door. The
greater part of tho damage was done by
water and tho extreme cold. The entire
front of the building was covered with
a thick cake of ice and entrance to the
building was gained only by the back
door. It is estimated that the loss will
reach $27,000, as the building was heav-
ily stocked in preparation for the spring
rush. All orders, however, are being
filled to the letter and counter trade has
again commenced.
Mrs. A. Eigenbrod, of Woodlawn, suf-
fered a loss by fire February 9. She
and her sons battled the fire until as-
sistance came from brother florists. A.
Kopp, Joseph Deutschmann, S. E. Cer-
ny, W. A. Rowe, O. C. May, Joseph
Meyers and Philip Goebel, Jr., respond-
ed and helped to save part of the range.
It is said the loss will amount to nearly
$1,000, and this is a severe hardship to
the proprietress, who has eight children.

Ophelia, Russell, Hadley, Stanley and
Sunburst also hold up well. Carnations
have declined in sympathy with other
flowers. Violets, with the nearness of
Valentine's day, took on a brace. Sweet
peas are abundant. Fancy stock brings
$2; such stock is carried on 18-inch to
20-inch stems. Short stock makes only
one-fourth of these prices.
Mignonette is more plentiful and sells
from $3 per hundred upward. Marguer-
ites are more abundant, but sell out
easily. The demand for these from New
York and other cities is good; also for
bachelor's buttons. Dutch bulbous stock
is in heavy supply and lias taken a de-
cided slump. Golden Spurs, which a
week ago made $4 to $j per liundrcd,
now arc sold at $1.50 to $2, and tulips
have made a similar decline. Paper
■\yiiitcs, Romans and lilies are weak,
l.ily of the valley was in good demand
for St. Valentine 's day. Cattlcyas drag
a good deal, but gardenias show an im-
provement. Asparagus moves better
with the passing of stevia.
The Anniversary Banquet.
The banquet at Horticultural liall to
celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of
the Gardeners' and Florists' Club of
]?oston ])roved to be a great success.
Tlie attendance was 275. The stage and
tables were beautifully decorated with
choice plants and cut iflowers. For two
])revious years the banquet had been
held at the A^ew American House, but
the desire to come back to the hall, with
its less cramped quarters, found almost
unanimous approval. President Meth-
^•en, who had just recovered from an at-
tack of the grip, introduced A. P. Caldcr
as toastmaster, and Mr. Calder lived up
to liis reputation of a silver-tongued
orator in every way. R. M. Saltonstall,
])resident of the Massachusetts Horticul-
tural Society, spoke on the work of that
.society, now 88 years old, specially em-
])hasizing the desirability that all gar-
deners and florists support tlie big
March and June exhibitions. He was
enthusiastically applauded.
William .T. Stewart, the founder of the
club and its first i)resident, spoke in-
terestingly of some of the early work
of the club and mentioned the reasons
for its lirst coming into existence. A.
K. Rogers, vice-jiresident, thanked
everyone for their generous support in
helping to make the ))anquet so decided
a success. \V. N. Craig spoke of the de-
sirability of sup])orting the Massachu-
setts Horticultural Society; also of tho

cosmopolitan character of the club. He
concluded by moving a resolution of
united support to Presid§nt Wilson in
the present international crisis, which
was unanimously carried.
Entertainment during the evening
was furnished by James Singer, Miss
Lewis, Miss Singer, Miss T. McPherson
and M. Eastman. An orchestra furnished
plenty of inspiring music during the
banquet and la*Cr in the evening for
dancing, the evening proving to be a
most delightful and successful one in
every way.
At the meeting of the club February
20 carnations will hold the center of
the stage and there will be a notable dis-
play of new and standard varieties, with
short talks by several noted specialists.
It also will be application night, and
more new members will be admitted than
for a long time.
Massachusetts Horticultural Society.
At Horticultural hall February 10
Prof. F. W. Rane, state forester of
Massachusetts, spoke on ' ' Sojnc Recent
Troubles with Forest Trees," speaking
chiefly on the white pine blister rust,
gypsy moth, caterpillar and chestnut
bark disease. He did not advance any
new information concerning any of
these troubles. Several in the audience
spoke against the suggested prohibition
of imports of all nursery stock.
John L. Smith, gardener to A. W.
Preston, showed a well flowered plant
of the beautiful Brasso-LaGlia-Cattleya
Seaforth Highlanda. The flowers have
immense lips, fully five inches in diam-
eter. This was awarded a silver medal.
At Horticultural hall February 17 Dr.

Lively &: Bond, of Holbrook, are sliip-
ping in a fine lot of Golden Spurs, Paper
Whites, poeticus, campcrnelles and
eallas. Business with them has been
good this season.
William H. Elliott, when last heard
from, was in the Grand canon of Ari-
zona, en route to California. He is in-
specting many commercial establish-
ments on his way across the continent.
W. S. Phelps, of Lexington, grows a
number of specialties which are han-
dled by but few local growers. He has
splendid lots of anemones, ranunculi and
hardy delphiniums. The latter now are
about a foot in height and look promis-
ing.
Andrew Christensen, of Stoneham,
next season will try several new carna-
tions, including Albert Roper, Christmas
Cheer and Doris. Of the older varieties,

ping in nice consignments of Primula

seen on the markets at present. He also
has a fine lot of bulbous llowers, such as
daffodils and tulips.
Welch Bros. Co. find a much more ac-
tive call for flowers now that prices
are on the decline. Business remains
most satisfactory with them.

Seed Trade News
AMEKICAN SEED TRADE ASSOCIATIOK.
President, Klrby B. White, Detroit, Mich.;
Secretary-Treasurer, C. B. Kendel, Cleveland, O.
Thirty-flftli unuual convention, Detroit, June 10
to 21, 1917.
■
Visited Chicago: James Smalley, of
McPherson, Kan.
The government crop experts liave fig-
ured the acreage of Bermuda onions in
Texas this year as 11,853, as compared
to 10,057 last year.
B. F. Brown, of the Brown Bag-Filling
Machine Co., says the seed packet depart-
ment of the factory is full up with or-
ders and working twenty-four hours per
day.
Therk are several seed catalogues
printed in German, but probably the
only one in America printed in the Hun-
garian language is that of Kallay Bros.
Co., Painesville, O.
Although the Senate committee omit-
ted the provision for free seeds when re-
porting the agricultural appropriation
bill, it was put back in the bill before
the bill was sent to conference.
The big freeze in the south, com-
mented on last week as having been felt
in a quick demand upon seedsmen, has
proved a greater factor than was fore-
seen. The losses appear to have been
great and widely distributed.
C. A. I^URNHAM, sales manager for
Northrup, King & Co., Minneapolis, says
that, although prices are high, he does
not expect there will be such a shortage
of seeds this season as will keep anyone
from planting, if not the preferred ar-
ticle, then something "just as good."
He expects a general broadening of the
demand because of the propaganda for
the diversification of crojis in the north-
ern state?.
Thomas J. Grey Co., Boston, is start-
ing the 1917 f^eason in a new home at
16 and 17 South Market street, where
the building has been remodeled with a
new front and two additional stories.
Thomas ,T. Grey no longer has any con-
nection with the company, the officers
of whicli are: President. J. P. A. Guer-
ineau; vice-president, R. E. Montgomery;
treasurer, Arthur F. Barney; secretary,
Peter M. Miller. Tlie business is entirely
retail.
The f-eedsmcn 's representatives who
attended the canners' convention at
Cleveland last week were not in position
to accept any considerable part of the
spot delivery business that was offered,
except on peas, which were not in spe-
cial request, but a pleasant time was
enjoyed by all when it came to booking
future orders. It was the largest meet-
ing of canners yet held and practically
every seed house that caters to this class
of trade was represented by one or more
salesmen. Prices formed the chief topic
of conversation and it was the consensus
that one is safe in buying at present
prices anything nature produces.
We have over and above our contract requirements for 1916 and 1917
A Surplus of High-grade
Vegetable and Flower Seeds
which we offer at attractive prices considering market conditions at
home and abroad. Our contracts were placed with the largest and
most reliable growers in the world, and their names will be fufnished

larger than If you had bought seed grown where the weather condltloni were not
favorable.

LOSS BY ST. LOUIS SEED CO.
With insurance of $31,500 on stock, in
thirteen companies, and $3,000 on fix-
tures, the St. Louis Seed Co., St. Louis,
Mo., was fully covered on the loss sus-
tained February 4, when the roof of its
4-story building at 411-13 Washington
avenue was broken through by the fall-
ing chimney of a burning building next
door. About one-eighth of the roof area
collapsed. The damage to stock was
principally by water, the fire, which dam-
aged nearly a dozen buildings in the
vicinity, being stopped before it did
much injury to the seed store. That the
loss from water was not larger was due
to the seed stock being covered with tar-
paulins by the salvage corps. Mail order
business was interrupted for only a few
TOTAL SEED IMPOSTS FOR LAST FISCAL YEAR.
The Review of August 24, page 62, contained a tabulated statement of the im-
ports of seeds, with the duties paid, during the first three quarters of the fiscal year
beginning July 1, 1915. The Eeview of November 9, page 58, continued the data
to the end of the fiscal year. The records for each quarter were given separately, as
compiled by the United States Department of Commerce. In the following table
the amounts in the quarterly reports are combined, so as to show the total imports
of each kind of seed for the entire fiscal year, July 1, 1915, to June 30, 1916:

This is the second time within three
years the St. Louis Seed Co. has suf-
fered from its neighbors, several lives
having beon lost when the walls of an
adjoining burning building collapsed in
1914, burying the seed store with .sev-

Seeds put up in opaque sealed en-
velopes, properly labeled, would appear
to constitute "proprietary articles of
merchandise and be mailable at fourth-
class rates," as set forth in Sec. 469,
Par. 5, instead of requiring transparent
envelopes (Par. 4). This is a new rul-
ing obtained December 20, 1916, from
the Third Assistant Postmaster Gener-
al's office by Howard M. Earl, of W. At-
lee Burpee & Co., member of the execu-

MANN KILLS MISBRANDING BILL.
Seedsmen and nurserymen who were
opposed to the Barkley Misbranding Bill
need have no fear of its adoption at this
session of Congress. On the objection of
Congressman Mann, of Illinois, the
measure was stricken from the Unani-
mous Consent calendar. This action ef-
fectively kills it so far as the present
session of Congress is concerned, al-
though Congressman Barkley contem-
plates its reintroduction early during
the next session.
The objection against the bill on the
part of the nursery and seed interests
arose when it was found that they would
be likely to get into difficulties in mark-
ing packets of seeds, bundles of trees,
etc., because of the fact that it would
be easy to innocently misbrand where
varieties so closely resemble each other.

Mr. Barklev has taken the contentions
of the loprescntatives of these lines un-
der consideration and in all probability
when the bill is reintroduced at the next
session of Congress it will contain a pro-
vision ■ exempting seeds and nursery
stock wliore the misbranding occurs in-
nocently.
The Barkley bill has the approval of
a great many trade organizations in
other lines of business, and it will doubt-
lessly go through shortly after the new
session of Congress convenes. Nursery
and seed trade representatives have
stated that they would interpose no fur-
ther objections if the amendments they
desire are adopted. C. L. L.
NEW TWISTS IN CONTKACTS.
A recent case before the Mississippi
Supreme court draws attention to an
interesting and important rule of law
governing the making of contracts of
sale.
In this case the plaintiff agreed to
buy from the defendant 450 bushels of
peas. After this contract had been
made by telegraph, the buyer sent a
letter of confirmation, in which was
included tlie statement, "Kindly take
precaution and have them thoroughly
cleaned, seeing that they are in first-
class condition." This letter was not
received by defendant, or seller, until
after 175 bushels of the peas had been
shipped, and he then refused to make
further delivery on the ground that
he liad not agreed to sell peas cleaned
and of first-class stock, although the
buyer made frequent requests for com-
pletion of delivery under the contract.
The buyer then sued for damages for
such non-delivery and showed that he
had to buy substitute peas in the open^
market, at a higher price than that at
which tlie defendant had agreed to sell.
In holding that the buyer was entitled
to recover such damages, the court said:
"If the sort of peas mentioned in
the plaintiff's letter were not the kind
stipulated for in the original contract,
the defendant could have insisted on
the plaintiff standing by the contract
and receiving the peas contracted for.
The plaintiff received and paid for 175
bushels of the peas contracted for, and
the defendant could not relieve himself
from his contract without offering to
carry it out under the terms as origi-
nally stipulated. The defendant not
only failed to tender a performance of
his part of the contract, but repudiated
the contract by the positive refusal on
his part to carry it out."
In other words, the court holds that
after a contract of sale has been made,
the seller has no right to regard it as
repudiated by the buyer merely because

the latter asks for delivery of a higher
quality of goods than covered by the
agreement. But the decision is not in-
consistent with the well settled rule of
law that the buyer's insistence that a
better grade than the contract quality
be delivered would amount to a repudi-
ation of the original contract.
The decision applies the fundamental
legal principle that after a contract
has been once finally made, it is not
affected by any new terms that one
party may seek to impose without the
consent of the other. Of course, the
buyer in this case might have imposed
the condition that the peas be cleaned
and that they be of first-class stock, in

several prizes at the Panama-Paclflc Bipositlon.
Beokert's Seed Store, Pittsburgh, Pa.— A highly
creditable sort of catalogue, accurate in text and
of excellent quality in typography and illustra-
tions; sixty-eight pages and colored cover. Be-
sides seeds, the booli offers plants, bulbs, roots,
tubers, Insecticides, fertilizers, implements and
miscellaneous supplies.
The Imlay Co., Zanesville, 0.— Thirty-fourth
annual catalogue of seeds, bulbs, plants, trees and
shrubs, "a silent solicitor for your business";
forty-eight pages, illustrated, in a plain but at-
tractive cover. The company's disclaimer of
warranty is preceded by the pointed statement
that "more failures result from disregard of the
conditions necessary to germination than from
inferiority of the seeds used."
J. K. Alexander, Bast Bridgewater, Mass. —
Two catalogues, general and wholesale, of dah-
lias and other plants. The general catalogue is
well Illustrated and consists of sixty-eight pages;
the wholesale list is condensed to eight pages
and cover. Besides the Alexander specialties,
such as dahlias, gladioli, cannas, phloxes, peo-
nies and irises, the general catalogue offers orna-
mental shrubbery, fruit-bearing stock, flower
seeds, etc. The general catalogue also contains
several pages of carefully considered cultural di-
rections.
Thos. J. Grey Co., Boston, Mass. — General seed
catalogue, comprising lists, also, of vegetable
roots and plants, bulbs, roses, nursery stock, im-
plements, etc.; 108 pages, well Illustrated, and
bound in n covt of the quiot-toned but artistic
style which distlngulshea this company's cata-
logues. The list of tools and other equipments
is of wide scope and interesting character, occu-
pying about twenty pages.
Spring Hill Nurseries, Tippecanoe City, O. —
A 64-page, illustrated catalogue of nursery stock,
vegetable roots, roses, perennials, bulbs, window
boxes, plant tubs and tools. Among the special-
ties are dwarf fruit trees. Much information is
supplied with reference to distances in planting,
number of plants per acre, trees and shrubs for
special purposes, etc.
Hetzner Floral Co., Mountain View, Cal. — A
20-page catalogue of gladioli, petunias, carna-
tions, geraniums and miscellaneous flowering
plants; also flower seeds, and both seeds and
plants of "Metzner's Peerless Pansies." The
specialty is the Metzner collection of gladioli,
which won prizes at the Panama-Pacific Exposi-
tion.
Elmer D. Smith & Co., Adrian, Mich. — "Flo-
rists' wholesale list" of the company's specialty,
chrysanthemums, with illustrations. It is a se-
lective, rather than an exhaustive or specially
comprehensive list, and yet the sixteen closely
packed pages provide ample choice for the dis-
criminative grower, whether large-flowering sorts,
pompons, anemones or singles are wanted. Five
new commercial varieties of the company's orig-
ination are offered for 1917. Assortments of
"exhibition varieties for florists' use" are listed
on the last page. "We are the only flrm in
America growing chrysanthemums exclusively,"
says the catalogue. "We have been originating
new varieties since 1890 and have sent out over
300 of our own origin. Of the imported va-
rieties we buy such as in our judgment should be
given a place among the good things."
James Vick's Sons, Rochester, N. Y. — Two at-
tractive catalogues, as separate representatives
of the nursery and seed departments. Both are
Illustrated. "Vick's Fruit and Ornamental Tree
Book" contains thirty-two pages, in a tasteful
black and white cover. "Vick's Garden and
Floral Guide" contains 112 pages, in an equally
tasteful colored cover. Deciduous shrubs, aside
from hedge plants, are not listed in the nursery
book, but have a place in the seed book, along
with roses and hardy plants. The guarantee in
the nursery book seems explicit enough to make
misunderstandings difficult: "We exercise care
to have our stock genuine and reliable, and
hereby guarantee that if all, substantially all,
or any part of stock delivered does not prove true
to- name as ordered, we will replace it free of
charge, or refund the money paid for it, that
being the measure of damages for a breach of the
contract."
The D. Hill Nursery Co., Dundee, 111. — Whole-
sale catalogue of nursery stock, in sizes varying
from large specimens to young stock for lining
or bedding out; twenty-four pages, illustrated.
Evergreens, for vase, tub, window box and the
open ground, are the specialty and therefore have
chief prominence in the book, but the lists also
comprise deciduous stock, such as roses, shrubs,
shade trees and fruit tree stocks. Tree seeds
and florists' forcing stock also are offered. In
the introductory paragraphs are these succinct
phrases: "Good Hill quality evergreens do not
Just happen. We put the Hill quality into them
deliberately in numerous ways."
Garland Mfg. Co., Des Plaines, 111. — "Garland
Guide Book No. 17," a handsome portfolio of pic-
tures of greenhouses, ventilating apparatus.
Garland cast-iron gutters and other greenhouse
equipments, with descriptions that are intended
to be "complete and comprehensive, giving the
salient points of every house or part described."
It contains eighteen unusually large pages, print-
ed on a fine quality of enameled paper and
bound in a tasteful green and red cover. En-
closed is a "question blank for greenhouse
estimate."
South Bend, Ind. — The South Bend
Floral Co., 216 South Michigan street, .
is getting ready to move into its new
store on Michigan street, just half a
block from the present location.

The Market.
Business continues on the upward
grade most of the time. We have had
two or three rather quiet days, but the
remainder of the time we have been
busy indeed. Social functions have been
many, and the demand for all sorts of
decorations has been large. Flowers,
fortunately, have been more plentiful
and prices are reaching their normal con-
dition. The weather has been cold and
the greehouscmen have been exceedingly
active in keeping the fires going con-
tinually at full blast.
Stock arrives in fair condition and
moves favorably. A good supply was
predicted for St. Valentine's day, and
greater business tlian ever before was
looked for on that day. Roses are in
fine shape and good sliipments of Sun-
burst, Montrose, White Killarney, Mary-
land and Stanley supply all demands.
There is, however, a small supply of
short-stemmed stock, many of which are
needed for design work. The carnation
crop has been somewhat heavier this
week and prices have become easier.
Easter lilies and callas are not coming
along fast, but, then, the demand is not
extra large.
There is a splendid supply of bulbous
flowers, including jonquils and Paper
Whites. Tulips sell well and the demand
for sweet peas is large. Violets have
sold more easily this week. Orchids
and gardenias arc in good shape and sell
well. Valley moves quite slowly. Most
of the stores have been considerably
handicapped several days this week on
account of the scarcity of plumosus,
which has arrived from the south in a
frozen condition.

EVERGREEN VINE FOR WALL.
Can you recommend some kind of ever-

We already have English ivy and the
Virginia creeper. We want something
that will make a quick growth.

LOS ANQELES.-
The Market.
The market has been a most diffleoit
one to follow. First there were a
few days when stock was plentiful;
then for some unaccountable reason the
supply fell off; later it was more than
plentiful. The weather now has much
to do with the supply, but, as men-
tioned recently, there is no doubt that
prices from now on will favor the buy-
er, and stock will be of better quality.
Carnations are improving and daffo-
dils will be plentiful by the time this
report appears. Freesias have held up
in price on account of the shortage,
but these from now on will be more
plentiful. There is a large supply of
violets, but the demand keeps it well
cleaned up. Sweet peas are opening
more freely and if the weather con-
tinues favorable there will be an abun-
dance of them shortly; a sudden hot
spell, such as we sometimes get at this
time of year, would, of course, be bad
for them. All small flowers are morj
plentiful. Gladioli are scarce, but the
demand is not great. There is a bet-
ter grade of Easter lilies in the mar-
ket than usual at this time, but the
price rules high. For big decorations
these and the shrub branches, such as
double peaches, almonds and the various
acacias, are fine.
Indoor roses are about as last re-
ported, and there is nothing of any
consequence in this line from outdoors.
Valley is coming into the market in
small lots, but not nearly enough to
fill the demand. Cattleyas are scarce
and phalsenopsis and other small or-
chids are not so plentiful as they were.
In greens the better kinds are still
scarce, but a few warm weeks will
change the situation. Pot plants are
scarce.
V/m are much pleased with the
results of our plant advertisements
in The Review; orders have come
in freely and from a wide range of
territory.
Germain Plant & Seed Co.

Business picked up considerably later
in the week, some good funeral work
and several large decorations making
the retailers busy. The bright weather
is bringing people out and it is not
too hot to be pleasant. This makes
transient business good and cleans up
a lot of small stock.
Various Notes.
Bernard Tassano, of the Santa Cruz
Evergreen Co., gave a dinner to a num-
ber in the trade on the occasion of his
birthday. He proved to be a good host,
as everyone present thoroughly en-
joyed the evening.
George Eischen, of Ocean Park, has
opened a branch store at Venice plaza,
where he proposes to retail cut flowers,
plants, seeds and bulbs. Everyone will
wish him success.
Darling's Flower Shop has had an
exceptionally busy week. The funeral
of the late John Joyce called for a
large amount of work of an exception-
ally g<Jod character, orchids and high-
priced stock generally being used. Then
the opening of the new $1,000,000 Gar-
den courts at Hollywood called for big
lots of choice flowers, among them be-
ing fifty dozen extra long Eussell roses,
big banks of Easter lilies and large
quantities of phalronopsis and other
orchids. This was one of the most
important jobs of the season so far.
Frank Lichtenberg has gone on a
business trip to San Francisco and
points farther north, Mrs. Lichtenberg
accompanying him.
Walter Armacost & Co. are sending in
a fine cut of Easter lilies and a good
line of potted hyacinths. The stock
sells on sight.
H. A. Turner, of Montebello, has pur-
chased a new 6-cylinder car.
Morris Goldenson was caught work-
ing one day this week, a pretty sure
sign that business must be rushing. A
large quantity of good funeral work has
been handled at the store.
Freeman's window of spring flowers
this week was one of the prettiest
things seen for a long time.
At Howard & Smith's store spring
flowers from the Montebello nurseries
are making a grand display, especially
the bulbous flowers. Several good dec-
orations have kept the staff busy during
the last two weeks, and in the nursery
department the new rose, Los Angeles,
is still among the best sellers.

such a beautiful subject is not more

committee is composed of W. W. Fel-

stock is more plentiful and business
in general gives no ground for com-
plaint. Taken all in all, the condition
of the market is healthy, although
heavier supplies of certain kinds of
flovFers could be disposed of without
difficulty. A few more days of warm
weather should bring out an abundance
of all seasonables. Daffodils seem to
overshadow everything else at present
and prices have dropped sharply. They
fill in nicely and the liberal offerings
continue to clean up readily, especially
in view of an active shipping demand.
Freesia has been especially fine this
year and maintains its popularity well,
the best quality being used largely for
corsage work. Paper Whites show ex-
cellent quality. Tulips and hyacinths
are eagerly sought, both demanding
comparatively high prices. As a mat-
ter of fact, spring flowers as a whole
are bringing higher prices this sea-
son than ever before, with the possible
exception of last year's. Easter lilies
are much in evidence, but callas are
scarce. Valley is a little easier by

reason of the increased supply. Lim-
ited supplies of pansies and daisies are
welcomed.
American Beauties are still rather
scarce. Other varieties of roses are
in good supply, but all stock clears
from day to day. Carnations are fair-
ly plentiful, but they hold their own,
no recession in prices being noted.
Violets show some improvement, but
the quality is hardly up to standard,
the stems being short on account of the
continued cold weather and little rain.
A heavy shipping demand for St. Valen-
tine's day was reported. There are
plenty of orchids for all requirements,
though hardly so many as last week.
Flowering shrubs and blooming plants

city of cut flowers and have been
greatly appreciated. Many sales would

have been lost had not the florists been
able to interest visitors in plants when
they failed to find the cut flowers they
desired. A shortage of ferns, maiden-
hair and asparagus is causing some in-
convenience.
Various Notes.
The E. W. McLellan Co. shipped
more violets for St. Valentine's day
than ever before, which, in the opinion
of J. A. Axell, shows that the florists
of the middle west appreciate Califor-
nia-grown violets more each year.
Domoto Bros, report plant importa-
tions from Japan coming through in
good shape.
Frank D. Pelicano is introducing a
new violet, which he hopes to produce
extensively another year. It is the
same shade as Quaker Lady, but has a
double flower. It has a good stem and
is fine for corsages.
H. Plath is bringing in some fine
azaleas.

The most rapturously^ and strikingly beautiful little
rose ever introduced. The color is absolutely new and
startling in its brilliancy— golden yellow, tipped with
clear cerise. The little buds and open flowers are ele-
gantly finished and of most perfect form. Habit of the
very best, strong and compact; freedom of bloom is
remarkable and continuous throughout the entire sea-
son. We have given it a fair and thorough trial and
have no hesitancy in offering it as the one best selling
rose you ever handled. It is a money-maker.
Also special prices on all commerial varieties of
Hybrid Teas.

The Market.
For several days last week a spell of
bright, warm weather suggestive of
spring brought people outdoors. Such
conditions hurt the sale of flowers and
the demand decreased. The volume of
stock coming in was beyond the capac-
ity of the market to absorb it; some
waste resulted, but without any slump
in prices up to the time of this writing.
Should the springlike weather continue
and the growers try to force on the
market all the cut stock they produce,
a crash in prices would be inevitable.
Just why the fine weather should re-
duce the calls for flowers is hard to
explain, but it has been proven many
times that there are not so many flowers
sold when people get outdoors for their
pleasures.
A great variety of stock is shown.
Nearly everything of a bulbous nature
is coming in heavily. Tulips and hya-
cinths are in their prime. Carnations
in all colors are in oversupply for the
first time in many months. Valley,
grown from a new shipment of pips, is
offered. Easter lilies and callas are in
heavy cut. There is no oversupply of
roses, but the cut has increased. Trianse
cattleyas are plentiful. Sir Watkin
daffodils and Darwin tulips have ap-
peared. Some excellent sweet peas are
shown. Potted lilacs and genistas have
been added to the list of blooming
plants.
Various Notes.
The Portland Floral Society will hold
its regular meeting February 20 in the
Masonic Temple.
Joseph Koida, Karl Bestel and the
violet grower at Hillsdale are cutting
heavy crops of single violets.
Frank Luepke, of Vancouver, Wash.,
is greatly elated over the prospects of
increases in his business after the inter-
state bridge is opened. The formal
opening of the bridge takes place in
June. He says Vancouver is bound to
boom.
Thomas Luke, of Max Smith's store,
while putting up some decorations, fell
and injured his wrist and his kneecap.
His injuries did not prevent his showing
up at the store.
The Martin & Forbes Co. recently sold
two of the largest kentias in this dis-
trict. The palms were grown by the
Eahn & Herbert Co. James Forbes said
from now on there would be a sufficient
supply of valley.
Henry Kahn is cutting some good
sweet peas.
B. Tonseth, of the Tonseth Floral Co.,
selects his plants and saves his cyclamen
seed. A salmon-pink variety is his
favorite. He intends to grow more of
them another season.
E. C. Cook has built some shelves for
his potted stock and has taken his plants
off the sidewalk. He says this simple
change has increased his sales of plants
fifty per cent.

In condemnation proceedings relative
to the widening of a street at Washing-

estate, one of the defendants in the ease,
contended that the half-mile of trees,

the trade, .T. H. Small, Jr., Wm. F. Gude
and I. H. Moss, who estimated the value
at from $l.j,000 to $20,000.
Addressing the New England Nursery-
men's Association. E. Fred Rowe, of tlie
McFarland organization, said: "The
mistake is made, in preparing catalogues
for the public, in thinking that the pur-
chasers know as mucli aliout technical
matters connected with nurseries and
with the growth of jdants and shrubs
as the dealers do themselves. The pub-
lic for the most part is ignorant of
technical methods and the matter in the
catalogues should be prepared with this
lack of knowledge in view."

PYRETHRUM ROSEUM HYBRIDUM
Mention The Review when you write.
Heryman 's misrepresentations induced
the customer to agree to buy, cannot be
defeated by provisions in the written
contract that the order is not subject
to countermand and that the salesman
is not authorized to make vary the
terms of the written order. This is the
substance of the recent decision of the
Kansas Supreme court. In this suit the
inirserymen were defeated in an attempt
to hold their customer for the contract
price of certain seedlings.
The customer, or defendant, signed
iiii order on the nurserymen's printed
t'orm for the seedlings. The order con-
tained provisions against countermand
and against variation of the terms by
•iiiv oral statements of the salesman who
'""k the order.
Anything to Get the Order.
The stock was shipped, but the cus-
t"iner refused to receive it, and it was
-"i'l at auction. The nurserymen then
■- 'd for the excess of the contract price
•'"ive the amount realized at the auc-
'1. The customer relied on claimed
d representations of the salesman that
t' order might be countermanded any
"le before shipment, and that the agent
'^represented the market value of the
'dlings; the time at which they would
ature; the quantity of stock the nur-
lymen had on hand; that the agent
'^0 misrepresented the nurserymen as
'^"ing raised all their own stock, and
at he was planting a half -section of
"id to seedlings.
The nurserymen insisted that, in view
I the terms of the written contract,
tiose oral misrepresentations made by
'le salesman were not binding upon
liem. Tn affirming a judgment in the

customer's favor, the Supreme court in-
timated that the nurserymen were right
in their claim that the customer could
not rely upon the salesman 's oral state-
ment that the order might be counter-
manded before shipment, since the writ-
ten contract provided against such
countermand and the jury found that
the customer had reasonable opportunity
to examine the form of contract before
signing it. But the court affirmed the
judgment because the customer had
established fraud on the part of the
salesman in misrepresenting the facts
above mentioned, concerning the mar-
ket value of the stock, the time in which
it would mature, etc.
Fraud Made Contract Void.
"It is elementary," said the court,
"that a contract entered into
through the fraud and misrepresenta-
tion of one of the parties and relied
on by the other, is voidable at the*
instance of the party defrauded. * • *
However reputable a business firm the
nurserymen may be, the jury has found
that their agent procured the defend-
ant's signature through fraud and mis-
representation. ' '
The court recognized the well estab-
lished rule of law that the terms of

when they relate to mere matters of
opinion, or are mere "puffing" of the
goods offered for sale. In this case, how-
ever, the court declared that the rep-
resentations of the salesman as to posi-
tive facts, such as prevailing market
prices, matters of which the customer
was ignorant, do not fall within the
rule stated. The opinion concludes:
"Since we have seen that the false
representations as to the market value
were suflScient to avoid this contract,
we need not enter the more debatable
inquiry as to whether the false repre-
sentations as to the fast-growing quali-
ties of the seedlings were likewise
statements of fact on which the buyer
might rely, or whether they were mere
expressions of opinion, excusable as
'puffing' or 'dealer's talk.' " S.

Go over your Rose Houses carefully and estimate the plants you need
for replanting this Spring, and place your order. Roses are going to be
scarce. The Manetti situation is such that those who get it are fortunate, and the
demand is far greater than the limited supply. We have sold over lOO.OiO grafted
Roses in the last two weeks. We have 200.000 more to sell. There is considerable
building contemplated. "Changing from Carnations to Roses" is a frequent expla-
nation made when placing an order. If you are short at planting time it will be
your fault and not ours. The growing of grafted Roses is an industry in itself. At
Cromwell the large quantity of Roses grown for cut flowers makes it possible to get
scions that are first-class. We want your Rose Plant order, and wc want to be able
to say "yes" to your inauiry. Estimate your requirements and write us.

The Florists' Review
Fbbeuabt 16, 1917.
DAVENPORT, R. ISLAND, MOLINE.
The Markets.
Business was brisk last week. Eoses
and lilies are in short supply and carna-
tions are none too plentiful for a large
demand. Sweet peas are in sufficient
supply for requirements, but violet re-
ceipts could be larger. Eomans, tulips,
daffodils and narcissi are in liberal sup-
ply and, as a rule, of good quality. Pot-
ted plants are selling well.
Club Meeting.
The February meeting of the Tri-City
Florists' Club was held at the residence
of H. G. Pauli, with a rather light at-
tendance. The session was largely taken
up witii a discussion of the preliminary
work connected with the fall flower
show. E. M. C. Eohlf, C. Sorensen and
L. Stapp were appointed a committee to
nominate the officers for the ensuing
year and to report at the next meeting,
when the election will be held. The next
meeting will be held at Moline, exact
location of the club rooms for the meet-
ing to be announced later. W. G.
KANSAS CITY, MO.
The Market.
The rush of business prevailing since
the advent of the year is still in opera-
tion. Valentine's day business was ex-
pected to surpass all previous records
and more advertising than ever before
was done by the retailers for this day.
Prices continue satisfactory. More
bulbous stock is offered; there is a
weakened call for the lower grades of
carnations and roses. Eoses continue
scarce and high in price in all colors,
except the whites, the price of which
has declined a little. There is a steady
increase in the production of carnations,
bulbous stock and sweet peas. Tulips
and jonquils seem to take the lead and
the crop of these is good. Violets are
arriving in inferior condition on account
of the cold weather. Green goods are
extra scarce.
Various Notes.
Arthur Newell reported that he was
making big preparations for Valen-
tine 's day. He is marketing large quan-
tities of bulbous stock in pans.
The W. L. Eock Flower Co. has a fine
lot of cyclamens, azaleas and bulbous
stock. This concern has roses, carna-
tions and sweet peas of uncommonly
good quality.
T. J. Noll & Co. rei)ort that their ship-
ping business last week was unusually
heavy. They now are handling fine
bulbous stock and their supply business
is heavy.
Henry Kusik & Co. still are rushed in
the wire department, the out-of-town
trade being unusually strong in this line.
The cut flower department also has been
fc[uite busy.
The Oakwood Floral & Farm Co. in
the near future will devote its entire
range to cut flowers. This firm now has
several houses of vegetables.
The management of the Forest Hill
cemetery is contemplating the erection
of several additional houses, larger than
any it now operates. These houses will
be devoted to cut flowers for the ceme-
tery trade.
Mr. Eeinhardt is bringing in some of
the best sweet peas this market has had
for some time.

NEW ROSES
DONALD MacDONALD
A new Hawlmark Red Rose sent out this year by Alex. Dickson and Sons.
This rose has been tested for winter forcing for two years, and it produces more
red roses during the winter than any rose now being grown. It is not a large
rose, but has perfectly formed, medium sized flowers that sell at sight. Color
bright orange carmine; will not turn blue because the base of the petals is
orange.
It is not a summer rose, as it has the same substance as Killarney, and from
Thanksgiving until May it is a money maker for the rose grower, as no pinching
is necessary.

GOLDEN GEM
Golden yellow seedling Rose. A most beautiful shade of deep golden yellow.
A medium sized rose; long pointed bud well formed. A good keeper and very
free bloomer, and a color that will sell.
Own Root plants only $30.00 per 100, $250.00 per 1000.
ROSE-PINK OPHELIA
A sport of Ophelia. Color clear Rose Pink. Limited quantity this season.
Better order quickly if you want a supply.

Grafted— Per 100, $35.00; per 250. $82.50; per 1000, $300.00.
PRIMEROSE
This beautiful forcing rose is of the general type of Ophelia. The young
foliage is a lovely bronzy maroon, finishing bronzy green, and is of good habit
and free growth.
The bud is long and pointed, ideal in form, and the color is Indian-yellow
with apricot shadings, color at base of petals deep golden; has splendid stem. A

The Market.
Business last week was exceptionally
good, there having been many dinners
and receptions and some profitable fu-
neral work. The telegraph business also
showed a considerable increase over pre-
vious weeks on both incoming and out-
going orders. Prices on all flowers re-
main about the same as quoted last
week. One notable exception was Amer-
ican Beauty roses, on which there was a
heavy run, with a diminished supply,
and the price on these advanced to $9
per dozen. The shortage was in part
due to the filling by one firm of growers
in Anacostia of an order for shipment
south of 200 first-quality blooms.
Azaleas are coming in more plentifully
and are in fair demand. Lilac is also
good and selling well, both cut and
potted. Washingtonians seem to be go-
ing in more for spring flowers this year
than ever before, and centerpieces made
of lavender and white sweet peas with
forsythia, pussy willow, daffodils, tulips,
etc., not only sell readily but bring good
prices. Daffodils are more plentiful, al-
though bringing $4 per hundred. Tulips
are more in evidence and narcissi are to
be had in larger quantities. There is not,
however, that oversupply of bulbous
stock of j)revious years.
Carnations are high, but they are more
plentiful and some of the strain of pre-
ceding weeks has gone. All varieties of
roses still are scarce and prices are good.
A few inferior flowers can be had at $6
per hundred, but aside from that the
minimum is $8 and prices then run all
the way up to $20 per hundred. Violets
are plentiful, but the demand has been
limited because of the cold weather.
Various Notes.
All of the 1916 officers of the Flo-
rists' Club were renominated to serve

meeting of the club held last week. The

The Market.
Stock still is rather short in the mar-
ket; almost everything cleans up as soon
as it comes into the wholesale houses.
The demand from out of town for stock
is heavy.
Both roses and carnations are short
of actual needs and are cleaning up at
sight. Easter lilies are fairly plentiful.
Daffodils are in good supply and are hav-
ing a good market. The supply of other
bulbous stock, including tulips, f reesias,
Dutch hyacinths and narcissi, is fair.
The cut of sweet peas is large and meets
with a good demand. Violets were plen-
tiful for the St. Valentine's day demand
this week. Lily of the valley and or-
chids are fairly plentiful. Other offer-
ings include snapdragons, callas, rubrum
lilies and primroses. Greens are plen-
tiful.
Various Notes.
Mr. and Mrs. E. G. Gillett are spend-
ing the month at West Palm Beach, Fla.,
with Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Ohmer.
C. E. Critchell has been getting in
some excellent forget-me-nots and Dutch
hyacinths.
A fire in the basement of the store of
the Ohio Cut Flower Co. last week se-
riously threatened the storeroom of the
concern.
The William Murphy Co. was extreme-
ly busy last week with shipping busi-
ness.
P. J. Olinger has been receiving many
orders for rooted cuttings of his new red
carnation, Radium. This carnation gave
a nice cut for St. Valentine 's day for
Mr. Olinger.
The Cincinnati Cut Flower Exchange
has been having excellent cuts of daf-
fodils.
David Cable is opening a retail flower
store, the Cable Flower Shop, at 705
Monmouth street, Newport, Ky.
Ralph Schlomer has now joined the
force of C. E. Critchell.
C. J. Jones, who has been on the sick
list, is now improving.

Superb is a seedling of Gloriosa and Enchantress. It has the good stem of Glori-
osa and the fine growing habit of Enchantress. The color is a flesh pink and it
keeps its color at all seasons. The flowers average about three inches, are very full
and generally receive full score on substance. The flowers are all perfect and do
i not split. In the four years we have grown it, it has proved the best commercial
variety, barring none.

The Market.
The cold and dark weather has caused
a decrease in the rose supply, but carna-
tions are plentiful and bulbous stock is
coming along nicely. Plenty of violets
and sweet peas were to be had for Valen- ■
tine's day, but Easter lilies were lim-
ited in numbers. Plants of all kinds
are of good quality, especially cyclamens
and primroses, and they find a ready
market.
The coal problem has made some of
the florists uneasy, both as to prices and
scarcity of fuel. Those who seemingly
had enough fuel to last through the win-
ter find themselves low, even at this
early date.
The last few days of zero weather
have caused not a little loss among the
greenhousemen.
The Crabb & Hunter Floral Co. store,
which has been in the hands of the
Grand Rapids Trust Co. for the last two
years, has been purchased by George F.
Crabb and Miss Jessie Crabb, who will
continue the business under the name
of Crabb & Hunter Floral Shop.

Lawn Hose Made
for Rough Usage
We know all about the trouble florists have with
the ordinary kind of lawn hose.
We know that nothing but the very best grade of
hose will give satisfactory service against the hard
usage it must withstand around the greenhouse.
Therefore when we say that Goodyear Wingfoot
Lawn Hose is made to meet the most trying condi-
tions, we have in mind especially the use of this hose
around the greenhouse.
You can drag Goodyear Wingfoot Lawn Hose
over cinder and concrete walks and around sharp
bench legs. You can leave it lying in the sun and
where wheelbarrows run over it. We do not expect
you to always put it away and dry it out.
We have all these things in mind when we tell you
that Goodyear Wingfoot Lawn Hose is the most serv-
iceable, all-around good hose that the florist can
possibly buy.
Goodyear Wingfoot Lawn Hose is made in such
a way that it cannot kink and it is guaranteed not to
burst at any time within two whole lawn hose seasons.

Greenhouse Heating.
Subscribers are invited to write the
Editor of this Department with regard to
any details of greenhouse heating that
are not understood. But please do not
ask The Eeview to make a choice of ap-
paratus for you. The greenhouse heating
equipment advertised in this paper is, we
believe, the best for the trade to buy,
and each article the best in the special
field of its adaptation.
HAS PIPE ON HAND.
I intend to build a small greenhouse
and should like to get your advice about
the piping. Tlie house will run north
and south and will be 13%x25. It will
be eight and one-half feet high to the
ridge. The side walls will be four feet
high, with two feet of glass in each
wall. The south gable will be glass.
The remainder of the walls will be of
matched lumber. What piping will be
needed to heat this house to 60 degrees
when the outdoor temperature is 16 de-
grees below zero? I have some 2-inch
and 21^-inch pipe on hand. Could I
use 2-inch flows with li/{.-inch returns,
and how many of each would be needed?
D. V. P.— Minn.
There are various combinations of
the pipe mentioned tliat could be used
in the house described. If there are
three benclies in tlie liouse, we would
use three 2-inch flow pipes, placing one
upon each plate and the other about
one foot below the ridge, and would
connect each of them with a coil of
l^/^-inch pipes under the corresponding
bencli. Five pipes may be used under
each of the side benches and three in
the coil under tlie middle bench.
Another method of piping would be
to use a 2%-inch flow pipe upon each
plate and connect each flow pipe with
either six 2-inch or eight l^^-inch re-
turns.
The flow and return pipes should have
a fall of one inch in ten or twelve feet
and tlio expansion tank should be con-
nected with the highest part of the
system.
A HOUSE WITH A PROJECTION.
I am building a new greenhouse, IS^/^x
100 and twelve feet to the ridge, with a
projection 8%x21. There will be four
feet of glass in one side. The old house
adjoining is 27x100 and is heated by
fourteen S^^-inch cast-iron pipes. It
has five open tanks. I shall use the
same boilers to heat both houses. The
pipes will have a rise of one and one-
half feet in 100 feet.
I have been told that it would be
much cheaper and just as effective' to
use 2-inch pipe instead of expensive
3%-inch cast-iron pipe. I have also been
told that it will not be necessary to buy
an expansion tank and that only one
automatic air valve will be needed. Is
this correct? How many flows and re-
turns will be required to heat the
warmer end of the house, the forcing

1%-inch returns under the side benches.
The main flow leading into the house
should be 2 V^ -inch if the port in the
boiler is of that size, although a 2-inch
pipe would answer.
We would prefer to locate the boiler
in a pit, so that there would be three
or four feet between the top of the
boiler and the lower end of the return
coils. Carry up the flow pipe to a point
an inch or so higher than the highest
point of the flows in the greenhouse
proper, and from the highest point in
the main flow carry up a %-inch pipe
to a 5-gallon expansion tank. Give
both return and flow pipes a slight fall,
which will do away with the need of air
valves. In case it is necessary to place
the boiler on a level with the walks in
the greenhouse, a closed system should
be used.

The Market.
The extremely cold weather has cur-
tailed the supply of cut flowers to a con-
siderable extent. Boses are in short sup-
ply, especially Eussell, Killarney and
Ophelia. Shawyer roses are the most
plentiful. Carnations are in moderate
supply.
Trade last week was exceedingly ac-
tive. Funeral work was heavy and the
demand for decorations better than ever
before. The month of February prom-
ises to outdo January in the volume of
business transacted. Everyone, both re-
tailer and wholesaler, is rushed with
orders, and the growers could do twice
as much business if they could produce
the flowers, especially roses.
Easter lilies are in fine supply and are
of excellent quality, with large blooms
and long stems. Orchids are in good
supply, especially Cattleya Trianse and
Schroederffi. Bulbous stock is moving
well, including Dutch hyacinths, Ro-
mans, narcissi, jonquils, daffodils, tulips
and freesias. Sweet peas are plentiful
and are finding a good market. Violets
and primroses are in good supply. Pussy
willows appeared in the market last
week and retailed for $1 per dozen. The
sale of blooming plants continues brisk.
Plans last week for St. Valentine's
day business were comprehensive — in-
cluding an advertising campaign, win-
dow decorations, etc. A record business
was expected.

Knecht & Co. had an unfortunate acci-
dent at their greenhouses February 5,
when one of the large boilers burned out,
causing an explosion. Luckily, the other

until another boiler could be installed.

SCRANTON, PA.
The Market.
l-lu.siness has bocu extremely good dur-
ing the last week. Funeral work has
been heavy, and never before in the
history of the business has the call for
sick room flowers been so large. The
demand has been in excess of the supply.
Roses are still scarce and sell at $1.50
to $4 per dozen. Carnations are in fair
supply and bring $1 to $1..')0 per dozen.
Spring flowers are arriving more plenti-
fully and, as usual at this time of the
year, find an excellent sale. Sweet peas
are becoming more plentiful and are in
good demand. Valley remains scarce.
Snapdragons, pansies, freesias, calendu-
las and violets have a steady sale;
potted bulbous stock, primroses, cycla-
mens, azaleas and cinerarias find a ready
outlet. Greens of all kinds are plentiful.
Various Notes.
The regular meeting of the Scranton
Florists' Club was held at the home of
T. B. McClintock, on Electric street,
February 5. There was a large attend-
ance and much business was transacted.
Reports from the flower show committee
showed that this year's show perhaps
will be the greatest ever. F. G. Moran,
who constitutes a committee on out-of-
state exhibits, reported that much space
has been .taken and suggests that all
concerns desiring to exhibit should noti-
fy him as soon as possible. Cooperative
advertising for St. Valentine's day was
discussed, and members agreed that it
was the only way to advertise large
flower days. A luncheon was served by
Mrs. T. B. McClintock, the gracious
hostess.
A. L. Besaucon & Co. last week had
a fine window display of spring plants
and ciit flowers. This company is hav-
ing a heavy run of funeral work and
wedding decorations. Some excellent
Ophelia and Russell roses were noted at
the store.
The outlook for St. Valentine's day
business was promising. The florists
undertook extensive advertising this
year. All the windows were decorated
with heart-shaped novelties, potted
plants and baskets of cut flowers.
Muir & Co. report a busy week of
funeral work and counter trade.

The Market.
The increasing quantities of bulb
stock now being received are causing a
general easing off in prices. Owing to
the unusually large number of funerals,
business keeps steadily up, so that every-
thing in the way of cut flowers is
cleaned up daily. Daffodils came into
the market last week in a golden flood,
but the quantities have been such that
there has not been a golden stream re-
turning to the coffers of the growers.
The wholesale price of daffodils dropped
nearly seventy-five per cent.

The Market.
The weather last week was unusually
cold. Aside from the fact that it makes
the coal pile shrink rapidly, compels the
express companies to refuse shipments
and makes it impossible to ship plants
with any degree of satisfaction, the cold
weather does not bother the trade much.
It held back orders for St. Valentine's
day, liowcver, and these did not come
in until the last minute. Trade for that
occasion was just about normal, and all
stock sold readily. A little advertising
would have helped quite a bit, as it
has been demonstrated that this method
of bringing the days to the notice of
the public has been successful in the
past. There was no advertising done,
except window displays, and these natu-
rally did not reach the multitude that
a newspaper campaign would have.
Violets and sweet peas, of course, were
in big demand, but the supply was sufQ-
ciontly large to take care of the orders.
The quality of the stock was good and no
complaints were heard on that score.
Cattloyas also liad a big call and the
stock was in fine shape. All orders were
taken care of on this stock, but there
was no surplus and good prices were
realized.
Eoses are in limited supply and short
stock, as usual, is quite scarce. Russell
roses are scarce and all orders are being
cut down to some extent. Valley is
scarce and there are practically no lilies
in the market. There are plenty of
carnations of all colors to go around,
and some to spare. The market is not
glutted to any extent, liowever, and the
supply is being moved at good prices.
There is a large supply of spring stock
now and it cleans up well. Daffodils
are lagging a little, though the supply
is comjiarativoly small. Small plants
have had a large sale; large quantities
were moved last week.
Taken as a whole, business has been
quite good during the last week, despite
adverse conditions.
Various Notes.
Alfred Schiller is improving; his con-
dition is most satisfactory. He will,
however, remain at the hospital for some
time yet.
William Lubliner, of 225 Grand ave-
nue, lost a window of his store February
7. The building, which was remodeled
before he took the location, settled
slightly, and the big plate glass window
suddenly crumpled up. Although there
was a display of plants and flowers in
the window, there was no damage done.

COLUMSUS, O.
The Market.
The demand for flowers during the
last two or three weeks has broken all
records. Stock has been cleaned up
closely in all lines and there is a great
scramble for it daily. Roses, most of
them still off crop, were far from suffi-
cient to meet the heavy demand and the
prices are high on those that arrive.
Beauties are exceedingly scarce and
prospects for a better supply are poor.
Eussell and Reid roses have taken the
place of Beauties and fine stocks of
these are to be seen. Ophelia still holds
its own as the best all-around rose at
this time and is much in demand.
Carnations are plentiful but clean up
daily, with no chance of a surplus at
any time. Sweet peas have been much
in evidence and quantities of them are
used at good prices. Bulbous stock is
scarce as yet. Only a few tulips, jonquils
and Dutch hyacinths are seen, and they
do not begin to meet the heavy demand.
Violets are moving nicely and the qual-
ity is good, both in singles and doubles.
Valley is more plentiful, with the prices
high and the quality nothing above the
average. Lilies are cleared easily and
the supply does not meet the demand.
Potted plants are moving nicely, but
it has been a difficult proposition to de-
liver them safely during the cold snap.
Azaleas are a disappointment, as many
have blighted buds. All hope that the
late ones will be in better shape. Cycla-
mens and other plants are moving well,
at fair prices.
Various Notes.
Richard Winters, of Winters & Kram-
er, is recovering from his attack of
rheumatism. He has had quite a siege of
it and has been confined to his home for
several weeks.
Robert Buehler is convalescing slow-
ly, and the trade hopes that he will be
completely himself before long.
The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. has
opened its new store and business is
running smoothly. The force has been
busy.
Stephens & Son report a great scarcity
of stock and great difficulty in procuring
enough to fill orders.
E. Metzmaier is short on stock but
long on work.
The Columbus Floral Co. has no trou-
ble in disposing of stock these days. It
can promise nothing from one day to the
next.

DRIP
The Eave That Takes All Care of It
IHIS Z-Bar Eave Plate of ours is
an E3ave Plate and Drip Gutter
combined.
It does away entirely with the
numerous sbade-casting fittings and
the necessity of hanging a drip gut-
ter, more or less in the way, below
the plate.
But that isn't all. The riveting of
that angle drip gutter to the plate
HitcKiivfifs
NEW YORK OFFICE
1170 Iraidway
stiffens it. making it unnecessary, in
the Half Iron Flrame house, to have
any middle between-the-posts sup-
port from the plate to the sill.
Of course, a drip gutter is not a
necessity; but when its use adds

The Market.
The i)rices of flowers continue high as
a rule. Easter lilies now coming in, of
excellent quality, bring $3, $4 and more
per dozen retail. Roses are good and
the better blooms bring $2, $2.50 and up
per dozen. Valley sells at $1 a dozen.
During the last week potted tulips be-
came more plentiful, but they are of
good quality. Jonquils are plentiful and
of good quality. Both tulips and jon-
quils sell well. Carnations are good and
retail at 75 cents to $1.50 per dozen.
Sweet peas are coming more plentifully,
with the Spencers leading in popularity.
Violets are abundant and good, and sell
at retail from 60 to 75 cents per hundred.
Business in general is good.

HOLYOKE, MASS.
The regular meeting of the Holyoke
and Northampton Florists' and Garden-
ers' Club was held at the G. H. Sinclair
establishment, Holyoke, February 6,
President George Strugnell presiding.
E. J. Canning, who recently attended
the convention of the New England
Nurserymen's Association, aroused keen
interest by an instructive talk on the
proposed bill to prohibit plant importa-
tions. It was felt that such a drastic
measure, if allowed to pass, would se-
riously hamper nurserymen and florists,
without achieving the purpose of the
bill.
President Strugnell exhibited a splen-
did specimen plant of cyclamen. It
would have been hard to beat anywhere
and deserved the certificate of merit
awarded. G. H. Sinclair had a good
display of carnations, sweet peas, snap-
dragons, mignonette and forget-me-nots.
D. J. Gallivan showed a vase of Car-
nation Gorgeous. H. E. D.

Chrisman, proprietors of the Kirkwood
Floral Co., recently returned from am
eastern buying trip. Since the opening
of the company's store September 1,
1916, business has been growing by leaps
and bounds. Starting out with one
clerk, the press of orders has made it
necessary to employ a night force and
add two salesmen to the day force. A
specially designed and heated automo-
bile serves two purposes — it delivers
orders and it advertises the company bj
its uniqueness. This concern has had
great success in featuring funeral bas-
kets.

top of the machine, examine the roller pipe bearing, the strong but neatly
designed sprocket wheel, the angle bracket and oiher parts. Well, the
arms and hangers you notice are made for years' use.
Now that jou have noticed each and every part, just picture it in your
new or old house. Wouldn't it make a difference? Something that gives
years of satisfactory service. All up-to-date florists know the importance
of proper ventilation and, therefore, select this unequiled device. Thirteen
years devoted to this line means we have a device that is well worth
inspection.
We cannot explain how much time and trouble our greenhouse fittings
will save you, for there isn't enough space on this page. You know our
line, however, and can see what they mean to you.
Our catalogue gives further and more detailed information. .lust take

You think of
THIS?
—one of the biggest
factors in one of
your biggest prob-
lems—your heating
Method of Laying and Bond in Radial Bricicwork
You aren't worth much for work when your lungs are shot to pieces, are you ? Your
brawny arm and your strong right hand soon fail when your breath's cut off, don't
they ? Surely, you say. Well, that's just the point — your chimney is the lungs of
your greenhouse plant. Take care of your lungs!
You want to know why the AGMCO chimney is better than others ? Because
it isn't a pile of ordinary building brick ; it is built of AGMCO radial blocks
specially made for the purpose. An eight-inch wall of AGMCO radial blocks
is equivalent in strength to a twelve-inch wall of common brick. Molded
with vertical perforations, as you see in the cut, these radial blocks are most
thoroughly and uniformly burned, increasing, to a marked degree, their den-
sity and strength. The perforations form a dead air space around the chim-
ney, insulating the column of hot gases, rising on the inside, from sudden
changes of temperature in the outer air. This results in a maximum draft
under all conditions.
Study the method of laying and bond. When the blocks are laid in the wall, the
mortar is pressed into the perforations, locking them together with a mortise and tenon
joint, as it were. This, with the breaking of the joints by use of different lengths of
AGIMCO radial blocks, forms a most perfect bond, keying the structure in one solid
mass from foundation to top.
Is your heating system working to its full efficiency?
Is it equal to the task you are imposing on it?
Is your chimney built this way?
If you can't answer "yes"— write to us.
If you can— write anyway.
You may want another chimney.

COLD WEATHER
Geo. Valker's Range at Minot, N. D.
Last summer we built some greenhouses, a large
brick service building and installed two power boilers
and complete vacuum heating system for Mr. George
Valker, at Minot, N. D.
Today, right in the midst of a "below-zero" spell
of weather, Mr. Valker paid us a visit, wearing his
usual bright smile.
Naturally during this cold weather, when a great
many florists are having trouble with their heating
systems, we asked Mr. Valker if he wasn't a bit wor-
ried about his greenhouses.
"Not in the least," was his instant reply. "The
heating system has given such perfect satisfaction that,
although we have had the thermometer as low as 35"
below zero, we had no difficulty at all in maintaining
our temperature."
Just give us a chance on your greenhouse problems;
you will not be disappointed.

Gentlemen : With reference to your letter of
December 14. would say that we have used at
leabt four different ventilators with little sat-

ception. We are exceedingly well pleased with
it. We have never seen anything in this line
as satisfactory as the double-arm feature.

THE BEST RED
What are you going to plant for red this year? is a question confronting every
grower of carnations. Perhaps we can help you solve it. Naturally you want
to plant a winner. In the 100 scarlet class at the A. C. S. exhibition, there were
eight entries, embracing practically all the new and standard varieties, and
^ . easily the most representative class in the whole show. Our Merry Christ-
Merry cnnstmas ^^ topped them all, establishing itself as the peer of all scarlet carnations.
That ought to help you in making your choice. If you want to be convinced as to its productiveness, come and see it
growing. It's the only red we shall grow in quantity next year. February 20th delivery, $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000.

SPRING WINDOWS xt
M THAT SELL STOCK
Though normal, healthy people usually enjoy crisp winter weather, yet
they look forward longingly to nature's spring reawakening. Hence a
realistic spring window is sure to strike a responsive chord in the hearts of
the passers-hy. The approach of the vernal season, therefore, provides great
opportunities for the window decorator.
PRING is approaching with
a fine assortment of bulb-
ous stock, such as daffo-
dils, tulips, hyacinths and
other forms of narcissi. As
they are about the first
brightness and cheer
after a long, dismal win-
J ter, people are especially
susceptible to their charm
and an unusual window display is likely
to prove irresistible. An artistic bas-
ket of spring flowers is emblematic and
suggestive of the season and nothing is
more tempting — not the same old bas-
ket we used to make, however, as basket
arrangement, like everything else, must
reflect the spirit of the times in order
to attract and hold attention. Combina-
tion baskets with large, "sassy" bows
of ribbon are popular at present.
A Combination Basket.
In making an effective combination
basket, one should first select his stock,
then his ribbon. A low basket, with a
low handle and tin container, so all
the stock can be in water, is preferable.
Do not mix the colors all up. A better
offect can be obtained by keeping every
line distinct. This is more essential to
the art of a basket than the coloring.
Distinct coloring Is
better than too
much harmony. If
a basket is made in
light pastel shades
and something
seems to be lacking,
try introducing a
line of hard color.
It may give the
touch of life that is
required. Mass the
flowers in order to
bring out the color,
and use contrasting
'Olors if possible.
People want color
creations nowadays,
but one must avoid
the danger of going
to extremes.
As an example,
light blue hyacinths,
Yellow Prince tu-
lips, snowdrops or
lily of the valley
and violets make a
e: 0 0 d combination.
Keep each kind of
flowers by t h e m -
selves, so they will
contrast well. Se-

basket and save a few flowers for the
handle where your delft blue ribbon is
tied into a stiff bow.
A Meaning in the Bibbon.
The bow should never sprawl care-
lessly across the basket and flop over
the sides. The effect is insipid. The
ribbon should have a meaning. For in-
stance, it may be drawn tightly under
the basket and up to the handle on both
sides, so as to give the idea it has some-
thing to do with keeping the flowers
in the basket. Make the bow stand out
with life, in millinery style.
Some designers can work to much
better advantage than others on ac-
count of better materials. Good ideas
are rendered more or less ineffective by
poor materials. The wisdom of extreme
economy in a window trim is question-
able, as his display is the best adver-
tising medium a florist has. People talk
when they see something clever and de-
sirable, and more if they receive it.
Printed matter is not always striking,
whereas windows can always be
made so.
PICTURE WINDO>A/S. LIKE THE ONE ON THE RIGHT. ATTRACT ATTEN-
TION. BUT COMMERCIAL WINDOWS. LIKE THE ONE ON THE LEFT. MAKE
SALES. FORTUNATE THE FLORIST \A/HO CAN STAQE BOTH AT ONE TIME
In arranging a window it is advisable
to keep to one or two colors if possible.
If your store has two windows, you are
at a better advantage than if it has
only one. For instance, you can use one
for a scenic display and the other for
commercial purposes.
Picture windows are only to attract
attention, and it is poor policy to fea-
ture two of them at the same time. The
idea is to stop the people by means of
the scenic display and then get them
interested in your supplementary com-
mercial window. The illustration on
this page shows two such windows
featured together.
Too Much Mixture.
There is a tendency among some flo-
rists, especially where window display
space is limited, to show as much stock
as possible in that space, with the re-
sult that they have variety and th&t is
all that can be said of their exhibit.
Personally, I think too much mixture
is a mistake in any kind of window
trim. Florists will notice that in other
lines of business the display managers
do not crowd their windows, and their
coloring is watched more than anything
else. Originality and effectiveness are
the qualities sought by window dress-
ers identified with
the department
stores, furniture
houses, sporting
goods and electric
light stores, and the
florists must keep in
line. People pass-
ing a crowded win-
dow are confused by
the excessive vari-
ety and really see
nothing, whereas a
few objects, maybe
only one, if well
placed, will stand a
good chance of
catching the eye
and causing a great
many passers-by to
halt for further in-
spection. The more
the better.
A dark, glossy,
green tile flooring
proves highly satis-
factory in a florist's
window. It does not
show spilled water
and it provides a
dark setting. Flow-

alive with color and a dark setting
brings out their life. Artificial light is
better, but natural light is good if enou^
can be obtained. Light portieres, gath-
ered at both sides so they will not take
away much light, finish off some win-
dows in elegant style. I would say the
woodwork would better be pure white
than cream.
A pergola effect is airy and sugges-
tive for some kinds of displays. An
appropriate setting will improve the
display of any article, and time and
money spent, in securing the proper sur-
TOUTidiugs are well expended.. There is
little danger of driving away middle-
class trade by too much style. It is
the stock you carry that you are striv-
ing to show to advantage.
If necessary, price your stock once in
a while; firms in all other lines of busi-
ness do so. But when you mention
prices, make them special offers.

THE RETAILER'S PROFIT.
As indicating the rapidity with which
the cost of operating a retail flower
store is rising, a man who is recog-
nized as one of the most successful in
his city states that in the best year he
ever had his net profits were seventeen
per cent of his total sales, while by last
year they had decreased to twelve per
cent of a somewhat larger total. This
year he expects to see the net cut to ten
per cent of the sales, ninety per cent
as against a former eighty-three per
cent being consumed in operating ex-
penses and the purchase of merchandise.
The figures become all the more inter-
esting when it is stated that this retail
florist never has catered to "cheap"
trade, but has handled good stock and
charged good prices. Indeed, although
most retailers consider 100 per cent
the necessary margin on cut flowers,
this retailer has not hesitated to charge
more. That his prices have not been
unreasonable is shown by the fact that
the yearly sales have grown steadily if
not rapidly, while today the total sales
are the largest ever known, the per-
centage added to the cost of goods is
higher than it ever was before and yet
the net profit is the smallest it ever
has been.
The question is, what profit remains
for the man who has not raised prices?
THE WOMAN FLORIST.
[The reply of Mrs. .T. Drew-Bear, of the Lon-
don Flower Shop, Pliiladelpliin, to frequent in-
terrogations regardinB the florists' business as an
occupation for women.]
In the large city or country town
there is no more delightful or profitable
occupation for a woman than the flo-
rists ' business. Being in love with your
business does not necessarily mean suc-
cess, but dislike for your business is al-
most sure to cause failure.
Do you know of a woman who does not
love flowers, growing them, handling
and arranging them? The woman at
least has this asset for success.
In addition to love for the business
you must possess the following:
A knowledge of finance.
The art of buying and selling.
Artistic making up and arranging.
The actual capital required need not
bo large at first, but you should have
sufficient outside resources to keep your-
self or family for at least two years
without drawing a dollar from the busi-
ness, for as your business increases it
will necessarily require larger capital.
Making a Start.
I well remember my first year as a flo-
rist. Never did I work harder or longer
hours. Not a dollar was drawn out of
the business for my labor, but all ex-
penses were paid and my profits for the
year were just $5. I thought I had done
well and think so still, as the foundation
of success was laid in that first year.
Taking a position in a successful florists'
shop will be of great aid in the art of
arranging and putting up flowers, and if
you will keep your eyes and ears open
you will master much of the difficulties
of buying.
There must be a willingness on your
part to give up all outside pleasures dur-
ing the winter and to devote as much
time as may be necessary to the busi-
ness. You may be called on at times to
give twenty out of twenty-four hours,
or to go to work at 3 o'clock in the
morning to get out an important order
at 8 o'clock.
Rules for Success.
Should any of my readers decide to
engage in the florists' business, let me
advise them to adhere strictly to the
following rules:
First. Send out absolutely fresh flow-
ers. Eefuse to sell stale ones at any
price. Throw them away.
Second. Be punctual to the minute in
filling an order.
Third. Kectify any complaint at once,
without regard to the justice of the
claim. No matter whether it is your
fault or theirs, make it right — it pays.
This third rule may seem absurd at
first sight, but it is not. Let me give you
an example of an actual occurrence. Last
fall a gentleman ordered a corsage of
roses to be worn at a football game. The
buds were too tight to be used for that
purpose. Ho was told so, but insisted.
Shortly afterward I was told by a mu-
tual friend that the corsage had not
been a success. I immediately wrote the
young man, told him that I regretted to

lear that the roses were unsatisfactory,
ind enclosed a check for the amount of
he purchase. He at once called me on
he phone, stated that he had made no
■omplaint and could not accept the
heck. I insisted, however, and stated
hat it was not necessary for him to
aake a complaint, that the mere knowl-
dge on our part that the work proved
inaatisfactory was suflBcient.
Since then I have sold hundreds of
loUars' worth of flowers to this young
nan and his family, and recently had
he pleasure of furnishing the decora-
;ions and bridal bouquets for the young
lan and the identical young lady who
■ ore the corsage. If you will adhere
igidly to these three rules, they will
! eep you wonderfully on the road to suc-
cess.
COVER FOR A GRAVE.
Here is a style of funeral piece, not
,;t all common, which might well be car-
iied in mind for use when something out
of the ordinary is called for. It is a
i-over for a grave, made on a solid frame
;md intended to be placed over the grave
at the conclusion of the services.
The piece illustrated was made by the
Lang Floral & Nursery Co., Dallas, Tex.,
using miscellaneous flowers. The price
of the piece was $150, the money being
raised by subscription among the fellow-
omployees of the deceased. The inscrip-
tion was: "Santa Fe employees; every
flower a friend."
WHY RESULTS VARY.
"Here is the reason one gets the busi-
ness and the other does not," said Hil-
inor V. Swenson, in discussing florists'
advertfsing. "Ninety-nine times out
of 100 where a man does not get results
on his advertising, investigation shows
that he went at it half-heartedly. In
other words, if he used folders, all he
would do would be to address them, mail
them out and that was all there'was to
it. Or ho would contract for space in
the newspapers and put in any old kind
of ad, usually at the last minute, and
tlien it would only be
lU.ANK & BLANK,
Florists and Decorators,
Flowers for all Occasions,
or something to that effect. Many flo-
rists are advertising in this way, spend-
ing hundreds of dollars and not getting
Ti'sults. They blame the advertising,
whereas the blame really lies on them-
S'lves.
"Now, take the man who is success-
ful with his advertising. He is using
the same mediums as the other fellow,
either newspaper or mail advertising,
signboards or street car cards. Why
does he get results? Here is the reason:
"He thinks enough of every dollar he
f*''ends for advertising to take the trou-
ble of giving the matter thought. He
<3')es not advertise spasmodically — he ad-
V'Ttises systematically. He keeps a
Ctreful check on his mailing lists, makes
\>to of the new customers that come
i to his store and follows these names
]> J with literature, featuring his goods
!'■ a most interesting way. He watches
t'.e newspapers for notices of weddings
"'id social functions and then gets on
f *" job and gets the business. He care-
^ Hy makes up his mind as to the proper
^ me to send out his circulars. His news-
I 'per ads are attractive — they feature
f • mething that is seasonable and some-
^ .ing he knows that people are looking
^'»r. There is a reason for every move,
Grave Cover Made of Abundant Size on a Solid Frame.
because he has given it careful thought.
"In other words, the man you hear of
who has made his business a success,
through advertising, has done some
mighty intelligent thinking, giving his
advertising and sales 'problems as much
thought as is ordinarily given to the
selection of his flowers."
BUSINESS EMBARRASSMENTS.
Mitchell, S. D.— It is alleged th^t The
Xowburys, Inc., has become insolvent.
D. B. Gurney, of the Gurney Seed & Nur-
sery Co., Yankton, S. D., says: "We hold
a mortgage of $23,000 dated February
1, 1912, of which $11,500 was payable
February 1, 1917, and $11,500 comes
due in 1922, with five per cent interest.
The interest was defaulted in 1916 and
February 1, 1917, both principal pay-
ment and interest were defaulted. The
property was sold for taxes of 1915 and
the tax now due, with penalties and
interest, amounts to nearly $1,000.
There are owing to 101 creditors sums
varying from 75 cents to $1,250 and
aggregating $7,864.82. The largest claim
is that of a bank and is secured by
mortgage covering all personal property
and part of the accounts receivable,
which hardly would cover the claim.
The accounts receivable are $3,790, but
include $2,030 on incompleted contracts
which will cost $1,000 to complete. The
book accounts are $1,769." Mr. Gurney
states that the stockholders of the cor-
poration are willing to turn the prop-
erty over to him in satisfaction of thp
mortgage and he offers the creditors 25
cents on the dollar to get quick action
and save legal expense. For many years
The Newburys was one of the most pros-
perous establishments in the northwest,
doing a general florists' and nursery
business. In 1912 a corporation was
formed, with $100,000 capital stock, and
later in that year the founder and his
family sold their interests and removed
to Long Beach, Cal. W. T. Marsh, for-
merly of McCook, Neb., then became
manager for the Mitchell owners, none
of whom were experienced in the trade.
WHEN TO SOW SEEDS.
Please state when the seeds of the
following plants should be sown to
have them in bloom for the Christmas
and New Year's trade: Angelonia,
browallia, cytisus, Impatiens Holstii
and Sultani, cineraria, wallflower and
Acacia dealbata. C. \V, P. — Ont.
Some of the plants referred to in the
foregoing list, wanted for winter flow-
ering, would better be produced from
cuttings; for example, cytisus and
Acacia dealbata, though to get good-
sized plants of the latter will require
two years. Seeds of angelonia, browal-
lia, impatiens and cineraria should be
sown in July or August. Wallflower
from seeds sown in August will begin
to flower in November and December,
provided the forcing variety is used.
W. H. T.
Mantorvllle, Minn.— W. E. Fryer says
the winter in his section of the state has
been most severe. As late as February
6 there was the worst storm of the win-
ter, with the temperature 20 degrees be-
low.

Callas.
Almost every country florist grows
callas. They can be depended upon to
bloom satisfactorily for at least six
months and for church decoration, fu-
neral work and other purposes they are
extremely useful.
By far the most profitable way to
grow callas is in pots; they need never
exceed 8-inch or 9-inch. It is a common
mistake to grow callas on wide beds or
benches, with the pots quite close to-
gether. Such plants never flower freely.
If you want to see them at their best,
use single rows of them close to the
glass on narrow benches or shelves along
the' sides of a house where a night tem-
perature of 55 degrees is maintained in
winter. I'eed the plants frequently.
Fine bojie is good; it is surprising the
way the roots will devour it. Bone is
superior to liquid manure, which, when
used to excess, causes flowers and foliage
to become soft. The flowers, under such
treatment, frequently become brown be-
fore becoming matured. Give them an
abundance of water and, if you want
plenty of flowers of the purest color,
grow the Godfrey variety.
AntirrUnuins.
The earliest planting of that most
useful of annuals, for it is as an annual
that we now usually treat the antirrhi-
num, will now be sending up a veritable
thicket of stout shoots from near the
base. ' A number of the weakest of these
should be rubbed off, unless you are look-
ing for quantity rather than quality.
When you cut the spikes, do not leave
a foot of the stems and allow these to
break away and remain; cut them down
to within three or four inches of the soil
and they will start much more strongly.
Fungous diseases seem to be more
prevalent under glass than ever before
and it may be necessary to drop the
culture of this beautiful flower under
glass for a time. Winter is, of course,
a time when we get much sunless and
cold weather and at such times, if the
beds or benches chance to be wet and the
plants are not quite dry, fungous
troubles will develop fast. I have found-
that it pays to let the soil dry out well
between waterings, to water only on
sunny days, to avoid using liquid manure
until early March and to watch most
carefully for any signs of leaf or stem
disease. Snapdragons are a valuable
crop, but it needs more care each season
to have them clean, thrifty and florifer-
ous. We must use more seedlings and
less cuttings to help offset in some de-
gree these antirrhinum troubles.
At this time a top-dressing of old, well
decayed manure will be found beneficial
to the early planted stock.
Gardenias.
Cuttings of gardenias, if not already
in the cutting bench, should go in with-
out delay. A brisk bottom heat is needed
and a top heat of 60 to 65 degrees. Much
better results can be had ^ if a glass
frame or case is used, damping the cut-
tings over several times daily, tilting up
the sash so as to admit a little air dur-
ing the day and closing about the mid-
dle of the afternoon, so as to bottle up a
good, brisk heat. With proper care every
cutting should root. After potting it
will be necessary to keep the little plants
well shaded, also close and warm, until
they are established, wheo . somewhat
more air can be given them. These gar-
denias will be of suitable size for bench-
ing in late May or early June.
Hotbeds.
Every greenhouse becomes terribly
overcrowded in late winter, especially
where bedding plants are grown in quan-
tity, and hotbeds are a wonderful boon
in such cases. The first week in March
is a good time to make up one of these
in the northern states. Some warm horse
manure mixed with leaves, well, mois-
tened and tramped firmly, will give a
steady and lasting heat, and frames o'
this character with tight sides, wel
glazed sashes and mats and board shut
ters for cold nights will accommodate
a lot of bedding plants, carnations anc
other stock and grow them far bette;
than any greenhouse. The beddin^
stock, if plunged, will need less water
ing and make a better growth than ii
the pots are exposed. If you neve-
tried hotbeds, do so and you will fine;
they are a wondeful help.
Easter Flowers.
The spiraeas make rapid growth now
and will need frequent spacing apart, an
abundance of water and occasional
doses of liquid manure. You cannot
afford to crowd these plants. Elevato
some of them on pots and place saucers
below them. Never mind if a little
water stands in the saucers. Spiraeas
are among the few flowering plants
which do not mind water in the saucers.
What would make foliage turn yellow
on most plants, even marguerites, hy-
drangeas, roses or schizanthus, will have
absolutely no effect on spiraeas. If you
are growing any of the beautiful pinl^
varieties like Peach Blossom or Queen
Alexandra, give them shade from direct
sun as the flowers open, to prevent fad-
ing out.
SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS
FOR SOUTHERN FLORISTS
BDI
BULBS IN THE SOUTH.
Many growers make the mistake of
thinking that, because it is so much
milder in the south, bulbs can be brought
into bloom much sooner here than in
colder climates. This is undoubtedly
true of bulbs that have been planted
outdoors, but when it comes to forcing
them into flower in the greenhouse the
warmer climate is a detriment. This
applies particularly to what are known
as Dutch bulbs. To try to force Golden
Spur narcissi, tulips and hyacinths into
bloom before the end of January or be-
ginning of February is only inviting
loss, because either the flowers will not
develop at all or so imperfectly as to be
unsalable. Due van Thol tulip is the
only exception to this rule that I can
recall. This tulip can be brought into
heat at the holidays and successfully
forced, while January 15 is as early as
Golden Spur can be started in forcing
quarters. February 1 is as soon as
Dutch hyacinths ought to be brought in,
except, perhaps, the variety L 'Inno-
cence, which can be forced at least two
weeks earlier.
While this rule holds good for Dutch
bulbs, there are other classes of bulbs
where the reverse is true, notably in
French-grown bulbs, such as Paper
Whites and Roman hyacinths, and prob-
ably all classes of liliums, especially
giganteum. To have early gladioli it is
only necessary to allow the bulbs to re-
main in the ground all winter. Treated
thus, they bloom much sooner than those
that have been lifted and replanted at
the earliest chance in the spring. Most
of the blooms shipped to northern mar-
kets in early summer are from bulbs left
undisturbed. The same holds good in
regard to tuberoses and the old single
type is the only one worth growing for
cut flowers in the south. The variety
Pearl is entirely worthless for this down
here. L.
SWEET PEAS OUTDOORS.
The winter over the entire south has
been one of exceptional severity and in
many sections the sweet pea crop has
been completely frozen out. These will
ordinarily withstand a temperature of
15 degrees above zero, even if continued
for a night or two, but this winter tlie
temperature dropped to zero or nearly
so in many localities, remaining there
nearly a week, and froze the plants clerr
down to the roots. What happened ' '
commercial growers happened in private
gardens, so that sweet pea flowers ouglit
this summer to meet a readier sale.
There is time to replant successful! '
if done without delay. The one thing to
avoid in growing sweet peas is over-
crowding. Let the rows be at least foi '^
feet apart, and the plants one foot apa t
in the row. A hedge of sweet peas ""?
they are usually grown looks grand f > r
a short time, but the flowers are shor'-
stemmed and soon deteriorate so as n 't
to be worth picking. Planted as recon -
mended, the flowers will be longer-
stemmed and more numerous, because
the flowering season will be greatly pr<i-
longed. A heavy mulch of cow manure
spread over the ground after picking
has started will aid in keeping tie
ground cool and liberal waterings with
the hose or sprinkler system will gi^'^
the plants the necessary feeding. L.

MUST FIREMEN BE LICENSED?
Or Shall the Law Be Amended?
The enforcement of the Ohio law ' ' re-
quiring a licensed fireman for steam
boilers of thirty horsepower and over"
lias lately caused considerable trouble
in some sections of the state, and it is
only through good luck that you have
so far escaped and only a question of
time when you will be compelled to
obey the law.
This means that you will have to en-
gage one licensed fireman for the day
and one for the night, which is aU right
if you can afford it, but how about the
majority of florists, who cannot afford
it and who will be compelled to close
their establishments and lose allf
According to the letter of the law,
you yourself are not permitted to throw
a single shovelful of coal under your
own boiler, whatever conditions may ex-
ist.
By concerted action of all florists and
market gardeners, we can have this law
amended to exempt greenhouse con-
cerns, if you will support, by writing to
your representative, a measure to be in-
troduced into the legislature to that
effect.
Intention of the Law.
Without passing any comment on the
justice of the law, do you think it was
the intention of the law to include green-
house establishments, which are mostly
outside the populated sections of cities
and where steam boilers are housed in
ordinary barns? An explosion could
hardly cause more damage than wreck-
ing the building and may never be at-
tended by the loss of unsuspecting lives.
Engaging licensed firemen would add
materially to the cost of production, es-
pecially in smaller places, and the costs
would have to be tacked onto the prices
of the products. In the case of vege-
table growers, the additional expense
would be added to the cost of food,
which is already high enough, and wouhl
thus cause unnecessary extra costs to
the ultimate consumer.
The "Floating" Sort of Firemen.
Greenhouses only need firemen for
about six months in the year, and fire-
men, as a rule, want a steady, all-the-
3'ear job. The consequence is that we
*'annot get A-1 men, even if we wanted
to, and we have to be satisfied with float-
ers, who do not want to do anything else
l)ut just shovel coal. Can you afford it?
Is the safety of your boiler greater
"nder the attention of a licensed fire-
Jnan who is ready to throw up his job
at any trifle and at any time, or is it
safer under your own personal atten-
tion or that of your tried-out employee,
^ho may have been with you for years?
Does not your insurance company in-
spect your boiler several times during
the year and run all risks of accidents?
The intention of the law was evi-
dently increased safety for human be-
ings living in the same or nearby build-
ings, and if this law would actually
guarantee or increase the safety of peo-
ple, we would welcome it, but does it?
Write to Your Representative.
It appears to us that a licensed fire-
man is no safety whatever and that this
law is superfluous, but it does cost us a
lot of money for state inspectors, run-
ning into the thousands each year, not
mentioning the cost of the license for
each fireman per year, all money ex-
pended without deriving any benefit.
We have been at Columbus to get the
opinion of several representatives and
they have promised to support a bill
exempting greenhouses. So, if you will
put your shoulder to the wheel and help
us now and help us quickly, we can get
this through the present session of the
legislature.
Will you write to your representative
now and kindly let us know?
But do it quickly.
Remember that an amendment means:
The saving of trouble and the saving of
money to you! Will you save them?

929 Prouty Ave., Toledo, O.
ment was introduced in the Senate with
the full knowledge and consent of the
nurserymen's and florists' legislative
committees.
The drastic and dangerous measure to
which Mr. Gude's report calls the atten-
tion of the trade is fathered by a group
of entomologists, who, after years of
agitation, have secured support from
the American Forestry Association. It
is designed to stop the importation of
all forms of plant and tree life from all
sources, and is a menace to the inter-
ests of florists, nurserymen and seeds-
men. Having failed to get the support
of the Federal Horticultural Board to
their scheme, this group now 'proposes
direct legislation, but agreed to confel
first with the legislative committees ot
the three allied trades.

QUARANTINE LEGISLATION.
The amendment the Senate has made
to the agricultural appropriation bill is
not objectionable to florists or nursery
interests. It gives the Federal Hor-
ticultural Board more power over inter-
state trade in controlling new diseases,
such as the pine blister rust, but no in-
creased power over imports. The amend-
BLIND PAPER WHITES.
-Our Golden Spurs have been in the
coldframe about ten weeks and have
made strong roots. They have tops about
one to two inches high. Is it best to
place them under the bench to draw
them up? What causes Paper Whites
to come blind? About one-third of
mine have been affected this way. _
A. L.— Mo.
If you place your flats below the
benches they will draw up nicely. Lift
them up to the light as the flowers start
to open. Extremely wet and cold condi-
tions at the root are responsible for some
Paper Whites coming blind, but more
probably it is due to heating of the
bulbs in transit and the consequent
killing of the embryo flower buds. This
frequently happens to various narcissi.
Then they will produce leaves, but no
flowers. C. W.
HOW OLD IS ANN?
WHAT IS AN AMATEUR?
I have been requested by our society
to invite The Review to publish Prof.
Hall's classification of exhibitors at
flower shows. The classification, of
course, has been drawn up particularly
for the American Dahlia Society, and
was formally discussed by some mem-
bers of the executive committee Febru-
ary 12, but these recommendations, or
definitions, by Prof. Hall, were not
adopted by the Dahlia Society and are
sent with a view to having discussion
on this subject, as it is one that con-
cerns all flower show societies, and if
an agreement can be reached and widely
accepted, we feel that much good will
have been accomplished.

FEDERATION MEETS.
At Ithaca.
A most enthusiastic meeting of the
New York Federation of Horticultural
Societies and Floral Clubs was held at
Ithaca, N. Y., February 15, in connection
with Fanners' Week. Of the ten fed-
erated societies and clubs nine sent dele-
gates. Because of the scheduled meet-
ing coming on St. Valentine's day, it
was considered better to postpone the
luncheon and official meeting of the fed-
eration from Wednesday, February 14,
until Thursday. During the morning
and afternoon the delegates of the fed-
eration attended lectures and viewed the
exhibit jtrepared by students in the de-
partment of floriculture of the univer-
sity. At noon a luncheon was given by
the department for the various dele-
gates in attendance; thirty were seated
at the luncheon.
At 4 o'clock the business meeting
of the federation was held. At this
meeting it was voted to amend the con-
stitution so that four meetings will be
held during the coming year — the an-
nual meeting at Syracuse in connection
with the state fair; a winter meeting at
Tthaca, during Farmers' Week; a third
meeting at New York city during the
annual flower show, and a fourtli meet-
ing to be held with some afliliated so-
ciety, upon the call of the president.
An invitation was accepted from Dr.
Bates, of the Syracuse Rose Society,
for the federation to hold a meeting in
Syracuse at the time of the next annual
e*:hibition of the society.
To Secure Horticultural Buildings.
A discussion then took place regard-
ing the progress of a bill for the erec-
tion of a horticultural building on the
New York state fair grounds. After
discussion it was decided to appoint a
committee, with a joint committee of
the New York State Vegetable Growers'
Association and with members from
horticultural organizations, to confer
with various officials at Albany, influen-
tial in appropriations. It was voted to
instruct this committee to make every
effort possible to impress these officials
with tlie need of an immediate appro-
priation for starting the development of
the plans for a horticultural building.
It was the feeling of the federation
that such a building was absolutely es-
sential for the best development of the
horticultural interests of the -^tate of
New Yorlv.
It was also moved that the question
of the introduction of a bill to the legis-
lature, asking for a range of glass
houses for investigational use in flower
growing and vegetable culture at Cor-
nell T'niversity, be referred to the siime
committee, with power.
It was voted that tlic president ap- ,
point a committee of three to work with
the Commissioner of Agriculture and
the superintendent of the New York
state fair in revising the premium list.
W. F. Bultmann, of Syracuse, presented
an application from the Syracuse Flo-
rists' Association for membership in the
federation. This association was voted
into membership.
The report of the treasurer showed a
balance on hand of $206.40.

EARLY-FLO'WERING SPENCERS.
Many New Varieties.
In an article published in the Yt-ar-
book of the National Sweet Pea Society
(English) George W. Kerr, president of
the American Sweet Pea Society, says
in jiart:
''Tlie sweet ]iea season in the vicin-
ity of Philiideiphia and New York ir- a
sliort one; in fact, we can only rely on
!ia\iiig first class flowers in the open
during .lune and early July. No matter
how well grown, or carefully tended,
the extreme heat of July completely
takes the vitality out of the plants. Put
in sjiite of the short season for outdoor
sweet jieas, thanks to the recognired
value of the early or winter-flowering
type, sweet jjch flowers are on the mar-
ket from Octolier until July, ten mo;i'hs
out of the twelve.
"During my first winter in America
I was naturally much surprised to see
fhe lovely, long stemmed flowers of my
favorite in ])ra<'tically every florist's
sho]) and it is not surjirising that I de-
cided to devote some time to crossing
the l)est of the Spencer varieties with
these winter-flowering grandifloras the
followitur sninnier. Therefore, I mad-! a
start in 1909, using the best of the
available Spencers at that time, all my
crosses being made on the Burpee eaily-
flowering varieties and Mont Blanc.
Then I had a wait of two years, but re-
sults were forthcoming, and now we
have the early or winter-flowe.ing
Spencers in practically all the colors
most esteemed for florists' work. Many
of fhein have been honored with cer-
tificates at the winter shows and we
are ofTering a set of my first fixtures in
the ui'xt issue of our catalogue.
"Of course I have continued my
crossing each year and naturally do not
now i(M[uire to use the old type. Since
the introdui'tion of that fine Australian
variety, Yarrawa, in 1912, I have used
it almost exclusively as my seed-bearing
paient.
' ' When well-grown flowers of this
new tyi)e will average two and one-half
inches in diameter, while the stout
(lower stems run anywhere from eighteen
to twenty-four inches in length, and this
without any cutting out, or cordon sys-
tem, the jilants being allowed to grow
naturally, it is little wonder that sweet
l)eas are now such favorites with the
American ])nblic.
"To meet the ever increasing demand
for flowers, special sweet jiea houses

have been, and are toeing, built in great
numbers. In fact, growers have been
realizing such good prices that every
inducement is being held out to them .
to augment their supply of flowers.
Outdoors in Warm Climates.
"Until a year ago I never dreamed
of the winter-flowering varieties being
of value except for greenhouse culture,
but they have proved to be just what
was wanted for subtropical, or at least
almost frostless countries. In Florida,
where the regular summer-flowering va-
rieties, even when sown in the autumn,
lo not bloom until April, by sowing the
i.arly sorts in late September or early
October, they begin to flower in late Pe-
i-ember and continue throughout spring,
or indeed until the heat knocks them.
"On our seed ranch in California this
season they came into flower in March,
from November sowings, and bloomed
continuously well into summer. In fact,
all warm climates can now grow sweet
peas to perfection if the seed is sown
at the proper season and the true eaily
varieties are used.
"This was apparently recognized in
Australia with the advent of Yarrawa,
with the result that hybridizers there
liave also been busy and Australian seed
fjrowers are offering quite a number of
new early-flowering Spencers, some of
which I hope to try out another year.
"Frank G. Cuthbertson has also been
liusy in the same direction and his firm
is now offering a set of new early-flow-
oring Spencers, while A. C. Zvolanek
liad apparently made a start when Coun-
tess Spencer was introduced in 1904 and
lias had a number of varieties on the
market for the last two seasons."

Your jdau should answer well. A
^^ood plan is to ])lace the tubers on a
bencli on which a layer of moss has been
laid and to scatter a little broken moss
over them. The bench should be above
heating pipes, in a warm house. Sprinkle
the plants moderately and pot them
before tlie roots become too long. Flats
of sand or moss should also answer well.
Be careful to water the plants sparingly
at first, or there is danger of rotting
the tubers. C. W.

In addition to callas, of which Go<l-

could grow lilies, such as giganteum,

bulbous flowers, such as narcissi, tulips
and hyacintlis, in winter; lilacs and

The Club Trip.
The Lancaster County Florists' Club
visited the Manheim florists Februarv
15.
At E. P. Ilostetter's [ilace, where for-
merly carnations held sway, it was
found that the sweet jiea is gradually
superseding the divine flower. The va-
rieties are Rose Queen, Mrs. Skach,
Cliristmas Pink and one or two others
of equal merit. They have ])een bloom-
ing since Christmas and the vines are
in perfect health and promise to pro-
duce liigh-quality blooms until the out-
iloor varieties arrive in .lune. Much
space is devoted to yellow daisies, which
have been and are producing long-
stemmed, mammoth blooms. Several
houses of them have been carried over
for years and are veritable forests of
bloom. Where the early mums were

plants in. bloom, are grown exclusively
for cut flowers. Three new colors have
originated with Mr. Hostetter, of each of
which a considerable quantity is grown.
Freesias and Golden Spur daffodils, as
grown here, are profitable lines. In
carnations Matchless and Supreme are
principally grown. Houses of mignon-
ette and asparagus were also noticed.
The Monroe Hostetter establishment
was then visited. Carnations, sweet
peas, asparagus, calendulas and freesias
are grown here, all in good order. Spring
vegetables, including lettuce and rad-
ishes, are sold locally.
At Phares S. Hostetter 's sweet peas
are grown extensively and of fine qual-
ity. Several houses are planted to
calla plants, which, Mr. Hostetter in-
formed us, have been producing blooms
abundantly.
The Business Meeting.
At 7:30 President Schroyer called the
club meeting to order, in the Chataber
of Commerce rooms. Albert M. Herr
read a paper on "Winter-blooming
Sweet Peas," prepared by an expert,
the discussion of which brought out
much valuable information. On the ex-
hibition table were some vases of fine
peas. Among the best bunches noticed
were P. S. Hostetter 's Rose Queen, and
an exhibit by B. F. Barr & Co., of
Yarrawa and Mrs. Skach.
A motion was carried that the club
line up with others in Pennsylvania,
and demand better service from the ex-
press companies.
Many of the members expect to at-
tend the National Eose Festival to be
held in the First Regiment arniorv,,

ginning at the Ira H. Landis range and

NEW YORK.
The Market.
Last week was characteristic of New
York 's climatic vagaries, from zero on
Monday through rain and snow to sun-
shine and the temperature of the early
spring. The cut flower market had two
incentives for activity, the Lincoln holi-
day, with numerous banquets, and St.
Valentine's day, with its unique and
sentimental floral conceptions. The lat-
ter proved, in many of the retail stores,
a decided success and the general opin-
ion is that the day was celebrated more
widely than ever before. Many think
that with proper publicity and enter-
prising effort it can be made as impor-
tant and valuable an asset as either
Christmas or Easter.
Now comes Lent and the inevitable
surplus in many lines, especially bulbous
stock. Roses and carnations will show
a large increase in production and a
corresponding break in values. In fact,
this is already evident in carnations,
the best being offered at $3 per hundred
February 17. There were a good many
sleepy ones remaining when the evening
shadows fell, for which wholesalers
sought vainly an offer of $10 per thou-
sand.
The growers of first quality American
Beauties would be making a fortune if
they could only cut enough of them.
The best flowers often have brought $1
each. The lower grades were more
abundant and prices normal. All the
other twenty-seven varieties of roses
were fairly firm at about last week 's
quotations, but a heaviness was dis-
cernible as the week closed and ship-
ments are increasing.
The orchid and gardenia supply is
abundant. Longiflorum lilies are in
nearly every wholesale window. The
top price for valley seems to be $4 per
hundred and 40 cents per hundred for se-
lect violets. For sweet peas apart from
the Spencers there is no store demand.
Calla scarcity is no longer mentioned.
The demand for tulips is much less than
tlie supply; nobody wants the short
ones. Freesia seems to have been over-
done this season; at any rate just now
there is too much of it. A few nar-
cissi remain, and any quantity of daf-
fodils of superior quality. Acacia en-
livens many a retail window. Lilac is
increa,sing, as is iris, and there arc
plenty of all the other seasonable
flowers.
The season to date has been remark-
able for its steadiness and the excellent
average values mantained since Christ-
mas. It may safely be affirmed that
roses have been the foundation of this
stability. Apart from the higher prices
for coal, growers have little reason for
complaint.
Various Notes.
Many notable weddings took place
last week and several of the leading re-
tail florists have had decorations in
February equal to any in their long
records.
Philip Breitmeyer and wife, of De-
troit, were among recent visitors, on
their way home from a month's rest in
Florida.
W. A. Manda, who has been taking
the sulphur baths at Mt. Clemens, Mich.,
has returned to Orange, in perfect
health.
Fred Smythe, of Wadley & Smythe,
proprietors of the Yonkers Nursery Co.,
had progressed as far as Chicago on his
pleasure trip to California when he re-
ceived a telegram that his barn, garage,
storage buildings and greenhouses had
been destroyed by fire, February 14. He
returned at once.
Adam Trepel, buyer for C. C. Trepel's
chain of stores, has been on the shelf
for ten days because of a severe acci-
dent to his foot.
Robert "Woodrow is back from his
country home in the mountains, for a
two weeks' stay at 37 West Twenty-
eighth street, while his brother, Samuel,
is recuperating. The firm lost nearly
$400 worth of palms during the zero
wave, by freezing.
The sympathy of the trade is ex-
tended to James Slattery, of Thorley's,
in the death of his wife February 16.
The funeral Sunday was largely at-
tended and the floral tokens were many
and beautiful,
Geo. W. Crawbuck has been suffering
from a severe cold, the prevailing
malady.
The seven Ryan greenhouses at
Chatham were burned last week, also
those of Arthur Ayers, of Mountain
Side Borough. The latter was the old
Badgley homestead plant of three
houses. Both were rose growers.
Mayor Badgley says the loss was total.
Max Schling's specialty for St. Valen-
tine's day was a floral heart with green
background, made to sell at $10 each,
and seventy-five of them were disposed
of. Mr. Schling said the day was one
of the best in his experience.
White & Mullin, 162 Livingston street,
Brooklyn, have retired.
February 12 Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Schenck celebrated the tenth anniver
sary of their wedding. Many of their
florist friends joined in the festivities.

The Florists' Review

BALTIMOSE.
Pleased to Meet You I
With a deep sense of gratitude to the
Editor of The Review for the opportu-
nity to serve in a small way the inter-
ests of Baltimore through the medium
of his journal, the newly appointed cor-
respondent extends his greetings to its
readers. As a source of information
bearing exclusively on trade matters,
The Eeview has for years occupied a
unique position in this community, and
has enjoyed a large measure of confi-
dence and esteem. In taking up this
new duty, it is the hope of the writer
that this happy condition will continue
unimpaired — nay, that it may be the
foundation for the building of a more
perfect understanding between the
Editor and the trade in this city.
Now, let our first letter not deal so
much with trade matters, but let us see
if we really want a journal to take no-
tice of what the florists' business is
doing in our city. Since the great fire
in 1904, Baltimore has become a new
and modem city; in fact, the great trou-
ble at the present time is for its citizens
to keep abreast with its progress. It en-
joys one of the best geographical posi-
tions on the Atlantic coast. It has new
and modern docks, with thirty-five feet
of water in the harbor, so that the larg-
est ships afloat have no trouble in dock-
ing. The railroad facilities are second
to none in the country.
These features are attracting to our
city manufacturing of all Unds. I
might remind you here that the presi-
dent of the United States Steel Co.
thought so well of the prospects at Bal-
timore that he purchased for his com-
pany Sparrows Point, a suburb, and
work is now under way on improve-
ments to cost $50,000,000. This is the
largest new enterprise, but only one of
many. Our city administration is
wide-awake to our advantages and has
spent about the same amount of money
in betterments, such as better streets, a
new sewerage system, new docks, etc.
The population of the city proper is
650,000, with about 250,000 in the sub-
urbs. Unlike most cities of this size,
Baltimore is a city of homes; a large
majority of the people own their own
homes.
Now all this at first sight does not
seem to have any bearing on the florists '
trade; but let us analyze it just a little.
What I mean is, that when a town is
growing and is as prosperous as Balti-
more now is — and we remember that
our stock in trade is a luxury, a thing
that can well be done without when
times are hard and money is tight —
everyone in the business reaps some
benefit. Everyone reaps some benefit,
from Feast & Sons, Halliday, Cook and
Jifary Johnson, with their large society
clienteles, down to James Glass, Conrad
Hess and M. Richmond in the markets.
Every one of them is feeling the wave
of prosperity that is sweeping over the
city. Now, the point is just this:
Every other line is taking advantage
of it; shall the florists be laggards? The
Editor of The Review has offered us
one column of his journal each week
'or good, live trade news; shall we take
advantage of it? Yes! Anything that
you may have in the way of trade news,
If you will call Mount Vernon 121, I
will be glad to investigate and see that
^gets into the Baltimore column of
ine Eeview.
The Market.
Stock of all kinds, while none too
plentiful, that is, for the flner qualities,
has been equal to the demand. Hoffman
is sending in flne jonquils, Golden Spurs
— all bulbous stock has been in good
shape, especially freesias.
Roses have held their own. Steven-
son Bros.' Killarneys are flne; Radiance
is off crop, but Red Radiance is coming
in splendidly, with good stems and clean
foliage. Beauties are scarce, and, with
the price at $9 and $10 per dozen, are not
in much demand. Ward and baby roses
seem to be standbys for corsage work.
Sunburst still holds its own. •
Various Notes.
James Glass has been in the hospital
for the last three weeks, but at last re-
ports his friends were glad to hear that
he is improving.
Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Johnston Febru-
ary 8 celebrated the twenty-fourth an-
niversary of their marriage, with a fam-
ily dinner and reunion. Unlike the
shoemaker whose boys went barefoot,
special attention was paid to the deco-
rations. The color scheme was yellow,
with a centerpiece of Golden Spur jon-
quils. The entire affair was most en-
joyable.
I am afraid I am taking more than
my column in this, my first letter, and,
as I have heard a lot about the editor 's
blue pencil, I think I had better stop.
But let's get together and boost the
trade in Baltimore! Tate.
Eutaw, Ala. — Miss Kate Alexander
has opened a florists' agency here.
Bessemer, Ala. — Mrs. W. D. Brown,
proprietor of the Colonial Greenhouses,
says the first fortnight of February was
the worst this part of the south has ex-
perienced in years. She even lost her
pansies, which were just coming into
bloom, and tea roses in the open were
badly damaged by the frost. Trade is
excellent and the principal difficulty is
in the supply of stock.
Newton, N. C. — The season for ship-
ping nursery stock from the several Ca-
tawba nurseries is nearing a close,
though stock will be shipped in small
quantities for several weeks to come.
This business has swelled to large pro-
portions in Catawba, and many thou-
sands of dollars annually are brought
to the country in return for young fruit
trees, shrubbery and ornamental plants
and shade trees, as well as a few berry
plants. One firm sells more than $20,000
worth each year, shipments going into
a number of other states as well as to
North Carolina buyers. A section of
country west and southwest of Newton
seems peculiarly well adapted to this
business, and all the concerns handling
trees are located there.
New Orleans, La. — Flowers and plants
in New Orleans suffered more during
the freeze of a fortnight ago than they
have since 1899, and most of the early
spring flowers and plants have been
killed. This statement was made at
the recent meeting of the New Orleans
Horticultural Society. It was said that
the warm weather during January was
responsible for the killing of the plants.
Most of the florists had planted their
spring flowers. Then came the heavy
rain and the freezing weather. It will
be necessary for local florists to send
away for plants and flowers to replace
those lost. P. A. Chopin, Otto Abele,
E. Farley, Henry Eraak and C. W.
Eichling have been appointed a com-
mittee to arrange for the fall flower
show.
New Orleans, La. — Peter Ackerman,
formerly a member of F. J, Reyes & Co.,
has opened a store at 141 Bourbon street.
De Land, Fla. — Wm. B. Currey has
built up an excellent retail trade and is
now engaged in putting up a store and
showroom conservatory, which, accord-
ing to plans, will be up-to-date and en-
able him to carry a stock of supplies
and accessories he could not handle be-
fore.
Greenville, S. C. — Damages amounting
to approximately $2,000 were suffered
last week by the Greenville Floral Co.,
when a boiler in one of the greenhouses
burst as the result of a fire having been
kindled while the pipes were frozen.
The boiler was demolished and consider-
able injury was done to the house and
stock.
Brunswick, Ga. — Dr. David Griffith,
of the U. S. Department of Agriculture,
who recently made a trip through this
section, is quoted as saying: "Glynn
county's land equals that of France for
raising narcissus bulbs and you are
missing the greatest opportunity by
neglecting to utilize your soil for this
purpose. French bulbs seem to grow to
perfection in Glynn county and you
should grow narcissi by the millions,
competing with the French growers who
export large quantities of these bulbs
to the United States every year. Your
climate in many respects surpasses that
of France in the region where these
bulbs are grown. With the European
war on, there is a scarcity in the north
of these flowers, and the opportunity is
the greatest at the present time. I
have visited regions in California where
thousands of narcissus bulbs are raised,
but without exaggeration your climate
is more adapted for the purpose than
is that of the Golden State. On this
tour of inspection I have visited
Norfolk, Va., and Charleston, S. C,
where I have found excellent facilities
as well as good soil, but Glynn county
is superior in every respect to the other
sections. ' '

EOCHESTEE, N. Y.
The Maxket.
Last week opened with brisk business
and trade for St. Valentine's day was
exceptionally good. Extensive advertis-
ing was done well in advance of the
day, and with the help of unusual and
artistic window decorations the results
were most satisfactory. Social func-
tions have been in full swing. The de-
mand for corsages St. Valentine's day
was larger than that for any other holi-
day, outside of Easter. Flowers were
plentiful, but deliveries were greatly
hampered by the delay of trains, in
many cases from five to six hours late.
Local-grown Asparagus plumosus has
been drawn on heavily and shipments
from Florida have arrived in a frozen
condition, so that the stores have been
hard pressed for greens. Fortunately,
smirlax is fairly plentiful.
The daily shipments of roses continue
good, but the trade sufifers considerably
from the shortage of short-stemmed
stock, for which there is a large de-
mand. The long-stemmed roses include
Bussell, Sunburst, Killarney, Ward and
Maryland, which sell well. Easter lilies
and callas are not arriving in any large
quantity. Violets have cleared won-
derfully well this week. The supply of
carnations is not too large and the de-
mand is good. Some excellent reds were
seen this week.
Gardenias move easily; the shipments
of orchids have been stopped because
many arrive in frozen condition. The
trade is well supplied with cut bulbous
stock, which is extremely good. Extra
fine daffodils, jonquils, posticus, tulips
and Paper Whites are in the market.
Among the blooming plants are azaleas,
lilacs, primulas, rhododendrons and
Dutch hyacinths. Palms and ferns re-
ceive a steady call and a fair business
is done in that line. Funeral work has
been heavy this week.
Various Notes.
The Lord & Burnham Co. building
operations extended farther into the
winter months last year than ever be-
fore. The progress made on the ma-
sonry work and garage for the
Rochester park department has been
good, considering the extremely cold
weather.
George Darling, of Interlaken, N. Y.,
called on the trade this week. He is
planning to grow asters and sweet peas
extensively this year.
A novel window display was seen at
H. E. Wilson's for the week end. A
wax figure of a girl in a Dutch costume
was the central figure, around which
was a large mound of daffodils, tulips
and hyacinths, as well as baskets of
bulb stock.
George Husmann, of the A. L. Ran-
dall Co., Chicago, had a large display
of novelties at the Hotel Seneca this
week.
H. B. Stringer, president of the Flo-
rists' Association, Ambrose H. Seeker
and George Arnold were delegates to
the floricultural meeting held at Utica
February 14 and 15. There was a splen-
did display of roses, baskets of roses,
and table decorations. The F. E. Pier-
son Co., of Tarrytown, put up a good
display. John Dunlop, of Toronto, had
Shawyer and Hadley roses with stems
four feet long.
The Ladies' Auxiliary of the
Rochester Florists' Association held its
monthly meeting at the home of Mrs.
Oviatt, Monroe avenue, February 14.
There was a good attendance. The
auxiliary presented to Mrs. Fred W.
Vick, the retiring president, a brooch
of pearls and sapphires. Refreshments
were provided by the hostess.
The flower show to be held in connec-
tion with the Rochester exposition will
be more elaborate than the previous
one. The flower . show committee, of
which Charles H. Vick is chairman, is
working on the premium list.
The monthly meeting of the Rochester
Florists' Association was held at
Musicians' Headquarters, February 12.
There was an enthusiastic attendance
numbering nearly fifty. H. B. Stringer
presided. Several topics of interest
were discussed, among them the matter
of renting palms. Letters on the sub-
ject received from a large number of
florists were read, dealing with the
prices, or rentals, received. Further ac-
tion will be taken on this matter at the
next meeting. It was proposed to hold
a peony show and a committee of the
following was named: John Dunbar,
president; Charles H. Vick, Colin B.
Ogston, N. R. Graves, J. Charlton,
George B. Hart, E. P. Wilson. "Credit
Cooperation," a resume by H. V.
Tanner, was given. He said that many
trade associations failed because of lack
of cooperation among its members.
After the business meeting the members
were invited by George B. Hart to a pig
roast, which was in every way a big
success. H. J. H.

The Market.
St. Valentine's day was a great suc-
cess with the local florists. All the
staple flowers sold well and there was
a good call for novelties. Violets, of
course, were the favorites, but freesias,
tulips and daffodils also sold well.
Sweet peas were plentiful and had a
good call.
Several large affairs on the evening
of St. Valentine's day called for a
great many corsage bouquets, as did the
Elks' ball in the state armory Febru-
ary 15.
Various Notes.
Ernest Chamberlain had the best Val-
entine's day business since he started
business. He also had a big demand
for flowers for the Elks' ball.
William P. Pierce is cutting fine Dou-
ble Von Sions. He says violets do not
sell well with him.
A recent visit by the writer to E. H.
Hunt's place, at" Providence, R. L,
found everything in fine condition. Mr.
Hunt is cutting good blooms of Snap-
dragon Keystone. Frank L. Gray, for-
merly with the Peckham Floral Co., of
Fairhaven, now is foreman at the Hunt
place.
Edward M. Pierce is cutting some
fine sweet peas. Violets also are in
good crop. Mr. Pierce reports business
good.
S. E. Shaw is marketing some good
sweet peas and freesias. He has an
abundance of violets, most of which he
ships out of town. W. M. P.
A letter was read from the Davey
Tree Expert Co., of Kent O., inviting a
representative of the society to attend
the company's annual convention, to be
held March 5 to 10; James Holloway
was appointed representative and if he
is unable to attend John F. Johnson was
named as alternative. Adam Brezneck
was elected an active member and two
petitions were received.
The president appointed George Ash-
worth, James MacDonald and Joseph
Adler as judges of the exhibits. Their
awards were as follows: John F. John-
son, first for cyclamens; Harry Good-
band, first for tomatoes; Frank Watson,
first for roses; honorable mention to
Robert Jones, for sweet peas. An inter-
esting and instructive essay was read
by Robert Jones, entitled "What
Science Has Done and Will Do for
Floriculture, ' ' by Prof. E. A. White, of
New York. A vote of thanks was or-
dered sent to the author.
P. W. Popp, of Mamaroneck, offered
a special prize of $5 for the most meri-
torious exhibit at the next meeting.
Robt. Jones offered a prize of $10, to
be competed for at the annual tulip
show, which will be held sometime in
May. Exhibits for the next meeting,
March 14, are twelve white, twelve pink
and twelve mixed carnations.

OBITUARY
Mrs. Hannah Allen.
Mrs. Hannah Allen, well-known flo-
rist at Bangor, Me., died February 8,
Sho was born April 7, 1828, in Coach-
i'ord. County Cork, Ireland, the daugh-
ter of Dennis Crowley, who was a fam-
ous tavern keeper. In 1846 she removed
to Bangor and has since resided there.
May 17, 1849, she was married to
Thomas Allen. Eleven children were
horn of the union, of whom six are liv-
ing. Mr. Allen died in 1888, and Mrs.
Allen then began in business as a florist,
which she afterwards carried on with
the cooperation of her daughters and
lier son, Edward, building up a large
and prosperous business with green-
houses on Court street and a downtown
store on State street. The business will
go on under the management of the
family.
Mrs. Allen was a woman of wonderful
executive ability and although always
at work and in the strain of business
possessed such wonderful vigor of con-
stitution that at 88 years of age she was
in close touch with all its details and up
to her last illness was to be found with
her plants and flowers.
Archibald Darling.
Archibald Darling, who claimed to be
the first florist in Ehode Island, died
February 15 at the Rhode Island hos-
jiital, Providence, of pneumonia. He
was 92 years old and was a familiar
ti;;ure about the streets. He was born
ill Fawtucket, R. I., December 10, 1824.
While many doubt his claim to being the
first florist in Rhode Island, there is no
doubt that he was one of the pioneers,
for many years ago he sold flowers up
and down Westminster street and also
used to carry his stock on board the bay
steamers and peddle it there.* His fond-
ness for flowers never left him, and it
was one of his whims during his last
years to wear a carnation in his button-
hole, which made a sharp contrast to
his long, unkempt beard and wrinkled
face, and his lean, bent figure in dirty
brown overcoat with heavy rope knotted
about his waist. W. H. M.
George V. Gooding.
George V. Gooding died in the hos-
pital at Hartford, Conn., February 7.
He had been failing in health for alaout
two years, but his death came suddenly.
For forty years he was employed as head
ijrardener and florist on the estate of J. S.
Elton, "Waterbury, Conn. He was twice
a widower but is survived by several
daughters.
Terre Haute, Ind.— "St. Valentine's
'lay business certainly was a clean-out
— every available flower was used, more
plants than ever before were sold,"
report J. G. Heinl & Son.
Lincoln, Neb. — C. H. Frey has an-
nounced that February 10 he purchased
all the interests in the business hereto-
fore conducted under the name of C. H.
Frey Co., the business to be continued
under his individual name. The green-
houses have been under Mr. Frey 's per-
sonal direction since their erection in
1895, to which he now adds the manage-
ment of the store, which previously has
been in the hands of those whose inter-
f^sts he has just acquired.

I MOTT-LY MUSINGS I
W. W. llorlacher, of Dayton, O., in
commenting on holiday shipments, said
in two instances he found extra fine
cyclamens that had the appearance of
being too heavily fed and forced; also
a lot of Erica melanthera plants grown
in pots too small to allow for any mois-
ture. Such stock cannot stand ship-
ping. Bulbous stock from now until
Easter will be the greatest proposition
the trade ever experienced, is the opin-
ion of Mr. Horlacher; owing to the
many unusual factors entering into it.
Home well grown plants of Vanda
caerulea and Sanderiana were noted in
a collection of orchids. More attention
is being paid to orchids — -every bloom
sells at a good figure.
"Gentle love, how till thy flclds of rosos
Hounded close hy thorny plants do lie!"
Thus quoted Manager J. W. Rodgers,
of tlic Miami Floral Co., of Dayton, while
going over the holiday sales with the
writer, who noted Killarneys at $16 per
liundred Avholesale. "We are not ready
to discard Killarney, " observed Mr.
Rodgers, "when we get such returns.
Our crop produced for plants once
pinched, $1.50; twice pinched, $2.50;
thrice pinched, $3.50, and so on. Rus-
sell, Ophelia, Ward and Shawyer are
good. Tlie last-named we believe will
be grown more extensively when its
habits are better understood. It cer-
tainly is a grand rose."
At Springfield, 0., every member of
the trade wliO does a mailing business
is either rushing out catalogues or get-
ting stock in shape for early spring
shipment. As G. Botley, of the Schmidt
& Botley Co., expressed it: "The days
are lengthening and, although the coal
pile gives us many anxious moments".
Old Sol cheers us up and makes us feel
optimistic." Stocks generally, roses
and ferns particularly, are in tiptop con-
dition Avith all growers.
Gustav Schneider, of Springfield, says
retail trade was never better, and since
his store has been remodeled and en-
larged the force is able to wait on
patrons more satisfactorily. Mr.
Schneider contemplates removing the
old range of houses to tlie newer block,
to facilitate the growing end and to
concentrate with the nursery.
John Boehner, of Dayton, is so*
pleased with the new house recently
erected that, if the business keeps up-
as well as at present, another house
will be erected this summer to take the
place of two old ones.
"We cut 10,000 roses during holiday
week," commented Manager Aaron
Shives, of the Flick Floral Co., of Fort
Wayne, "and I think it was pretty
good for the amount of glass we devote
to roses. I'll tell you one thing,
you cannot get 10 cents or 12
cents for Killarney right along, as
we are getting for Shawyer. During
the entire summer we received 6 cents
from our commission house,f or Shawyer.
Our plants are not affected with mildew.
Note those strong leads; there is one
with three blooming shoots, each three
feet long, on one stem. To my mind,
Shawyer will entirely supersede Killar-
ney," concluded Mr. Shives. Rich-
mond is good yet. Ophelia, Sunburot,
Ward and Killarney complete the list.
"Yes, we were stung on our imported
plant shipments, little being of any
use," said the manager. W. M.
Amherst, Mass. — During Farmers '
Week, Martli 27 and 28, the department
of floriculture at the Massachusetts
Agricultural College will have an exhi-
bition of spring bulbous plants and has
prepared a series of public lectures on
floricultural topics by Prof. F. A. Waugh,
Prof. A. H. Nehrling, Prof. F. W. Morse,
Prof. C. H. Thompson, Prof. A. K. Harri-
son and Prof. A. C. Beal, the latter of
Cornell.
Wobum, Mass. — Early in the morning
of February 18 the boiler shed of Alex-
ander Porter, a prominent florist and
market gardener, caught fire. In two
houses each 40x300 were crops of lettuce
nearly ready for market, while a third
house, 50x475, had cucumbers in the
early fruiting stage. Good work by the
fire department confined the flames to
the boiler house, which contained four
large steam boilers, although at one
time it seemed as though the wagon
sheds and residence would go with the
rest. Fortunately February 18 was mild
and the houses were closed up without
serious damage to the crops. The loss i»
estiihated at $2,000.
Augusta, Me.— House Bill No. 110, re-
cently introduced in the legislature here
by Representative Wilson, of Portland,
is entitled "An act for the protection
of life and property in cities of over
40,000 population, against loss or dam-
age from steam machinery operated by
incompetent persons." Section 1 of this
bill provides that "it shall be the duty
of the municipal officers annually in the
month of April * * *, to appoint
an examiner of steam engineers and fire-
men • * *," while Section 2 will
make it "unlawful for any person or
persons to operate a steam plant where
the services of an engineer or fireman
are required, excepting those plants in
dwelling houses and apartment houses,
without first obtaining a certificate of
competency from said examiner." If
this bill should pass, apparently it woulcJ
mean that every florist would have ta
employ a licensed fireman to run his
boiler.

Besults bring adTertiaiiig.
The Review brings results.
Before the trade lies the busiest tliree
months ever experienced.
The coal towns, east and west, are the
equal of the munitions centers in the mat-
ter of having plenty of money for flowers.
There has been a tendency to start
planting roses earlier this year, with a con-
sequent brisk demand for rose plants for
February delivery, before they -were
ready.
The price of glass is considerably higher
than usual, but the greatest percentage
of increase in the cost of building a
greenhouse this season will be found in
the pipe.
In many lines of business the man who
has made no effort to meet existing condi-
tions by obtaining better prices is looked
upon as a doubtful creilit risk, as a man
unsafe to deal with.
It is well to remember that it wUl be a
long time before prices will be back where
they were before the war. For instance,
how long will it be before any grower can
get coal at the old prices?
The man who happens to have a house
of asparagus for cutting for bunches is
to be congratulated, as the California crop
. is at the lowest ebb at the time the Flor-
idans have lost out from frost.
Lent began February 21. In recent
years it has had little effect on the flower
business, bringing a lull for a few days
but losing practically all its apparent in-
fluence before the first week had passed.
In spite of the British blockade, lily of
the valley is not the scarce article it was
a few months ago. Apparently many re-
tailers stoppeia tising it When the price,
in certain places, went to $8 per hundred.
Young women are rapidly displacing
men as sales persons in £01 except the re-
tail stores that cater to the wealthiest
trade. And a girl bright enough to sell
flowers usually soon learns to make them
up.
American growers soon will be inde-
pendent of a European supply of cycla-
men seeds. There are hundreds who have
set aside some of their best plants this
season with the idea of making a trial of
saving their own seeds.
Tissue for wrapping flowers and lining
boxes soon will be prohibitive in price if
the rise continues. Retail stores that
paid $4.-50 under normal conditions re-
cently have paid $16 per bundle and are
told $17.50 will be the price next time.
Secretary Young last week sent to
members of the S. A. F. the annual vol-
ume of Proceedings. This year it is a
book of 444 pages and contains, besides
the stenographic report of the convention
:tt Houston last August, similar reports
of the meetings of some of the affiliated
organizations, with the longest list of
members thus far recorded by the so-
*iety.
WE HAVE AN ALIBI.
The proposition to prohibit all im-
ports of plants and bulbs for the pur-
pose of preventing the introduction of
other insect enemies and plant diseases
is sure to provoke sharp discussion, but
this trade should take issue whenever
it is suggested that our imports are in
any way responsible for any of the
present troubles in that line. None of
the devastating diseases, not one of the
injurious insects, came to this country
on stock imported by florists, nursery-
men or seedsmen. We have a perfect
alibi. Let us insist that the fact be
recognized. •
FULFILLING ITS FUNCTION.
The only item of expense which has
not advanced in the publishing business
is that of postage — and an effort is be-
ing made by Congress to at least double
the rate periodicals pay. The theory of
the present penny a pound rate was that
jiublications are a benefit to the people.
It may be true, as alleged, that some pa-
pers scarcely can be classed as perform-
ing a public service, but —
Herewith find our cliook for $1.50 for another
year of The Keview. I'his is a paper we need as
much as we need anythinc alxiiit our bu.slness. —
\us«bannier Floral Co., San Angelo, Tex., Feb-
ruary C, 1917.
Any publication standing so well with
its readers naturally would be a profit-
able advertising medium and the adverr
tising manager asserts that when you
liear a man complain of the cost of ad-
vertising you will find he spends a good
bit of money elsewliere than in The Re-
view.
BIRDS AND BUSINESS.
In view of the rapid growth of inter-
est in bird life in this country, the for-
mation of innumerable bird clubs and
the agitation for a "National Bird
day," it is believed that the coming
spring will witness a great impetus to
the so-called "Bring Back the Birds"
movement. The creed of the bird lovers
and ornithological societies is that birds
must be shielded from all agencies of
extinction— 31,000,000 birds are killed
each year by cats alone — and provided
witl^^gpecially built houses for nesting
purposes. This naturally involves the
sale of bird houses, bird baths and bird
foods, and as these articles are more or
less related to gardens and flowers, it
is fitting that florists pocket the profits
from their sale. Last spring several
wide-awake florists featured aviaries
with success, and several florists under-
took the manufacture of bird houses on
a wholesale scale. Here is a side line
for florists that a popular movement will
help to sell.
Manufacturers and retailers have had
many disastrous experiences in promot-
ing the sale of goods required in follow-
ing popular hobbies and fads, for fads
come and go quickly. The bird idea,
however, is resurrected each spring and
seems to be more than a fad each year;
the efforts of the bird lovers have taken
the force and form of an almost na-
tional propaganda. It therefore would
seem that the sale of bird houses, bird
baths, etc., will not be subject to the
whims of a short-lived fancy; the mer-
chandise that remains unsold one year
has a chance to sell the next year.
THE LORD HELPS THOSE
Who Help Themselves.
The truth of the old saying was
demonstrated again last week when the
St. Valentine's day business made an-
other substantial increase. It was an-
other case of the trade building for its
own benefit another special flower day,
building it by the power of publicity,
nothing else.
No one outside the trade can be given
any credit for the steady and rapid in-
crease in the use of flowers for valen-
tines— florists are advertising the ap-
propriateness of their merchandise for
the purpose and thereby developing the
business. It not only proves that "the
Lord helps those who help them-
selves," but it shows that the public is
quick to respond to any sane suggestion
for the use of flowers and that the de-
velopment of the flower business rests
in the hands of the trade rather than
with chance.
CHICAGO.
The Market.
Business last week, on the whole, was
fairly satisfactory. The demand for
roses and carnations, both for shipping
and local trade, was brisk; in fact, it
exceeded the supply, which still is be-
low par, making it possible, in the great
majority of cases, to fill orders only in
part and clearing the market Febru-
ary 16. Bulbous stock, on the other
hand, is in plentiful supply and is mov-
ing slowly, with some items dragging.
Probably more bulbous stock was grown
this season than in any previous year.
American Beauties, although not so
scarce as a few weeks ago, still are in
short supply and prices hold up con-
sistently to quotation figures. Other va-
rieties of roses all clear easily, shorter
lengths going first and preference gen-
erally being given to red and yellow
varieties. Prices hold up well. The sup-
ply of carnations has been just about
sufficient to meet the demand, although
February 17 there was something of a
shortage. They moved well throughout
the week and fair prices were obtained.
Easter lilies remain scarce and sell
well at good prices. The supply of callas
has increased until it is sufficient to
meet the demand.. TVioIetti are arriving
in good supply, but are not selling so

well as they should, even at slightly re-
duced prices. Sweet peas are plentiful
and are selling at a little lower figures.
The now crop now coming in is of ex-
cellent quality, while the pick from
plants which have been blooming all
season is mostly short stems.
Calendulas are moving slowly, due to
the large variety of other yellow stociv
on the market. Tulips are in oversup-
ply and are dragging heavily. Jonquils
are selling well, the supply being just
about enough to meet the demand. Daf-
fodils have sold well, but the appear-
ance of some of the retail windows of
the price-ticketed class indicates bar-
gains have been obtainable. Freesias
are selling considerably better than they
-were the week previous. Poeticus has
made its appearance and is finding a
ready market. Paper Whites are disap-
pearing and, although some growers
probably will bring them in until Easter,
their season is practically over. They
are now bringing about tlie best aver-
age price of the year. Stevia is prac-
tically out. Snapdragons are appearing
in larger quantities. The variety of
colors is as yet not large. Mignonette
also is in increased supply.
Plumosus was in exceedingly short
supply last week. The freeze in the
south has cut off the Florida supply and
little California stock is arriving. The
quantity of indoor grown plumosus com-
ing in is too small to relieve the situa-
tion. Other greens are accordingly in
improved demand.
St. Valentine's Day.
There was an excellent increase in the
St. Valentine's day business in this city,
wholesale and retail. Nearly all the re-
tailers made some sort of effort, either
window decoration, the use of the Flo-
rists' Club's stickers, newspaper adver-
tising, or all three, and they say they
were well repaid; there is general con-
fidence that the business of the day can
be developed until it is one of the most
important flower days in each year. Tb>o
wholesalers who ship say the business
increased nicely and that many shipping
orders came from buyers who are only
heard from at holiday times.
Kennicott's Will Move.
The principal news item of the week
is that Kennicott Bros. Co. has leased
the greater part of the store at 174 to
176 North Wabash avenue, formerly oc-
cupied by the E. C. Amling Co., which
is almost directly across the street from
their present location. Arrangements
for the move are already under way and
the company expects to get into its new
location before April 1. The lease is
for three years, dating from May 1, with
a privilege of renewal at expiration.
The new store will be used exclusively
for the company's cut flower business,
the space now occupied by the wire shop
in the rear part of the present location
being retained for this department.
Kennicott Bros. Co. is the oldest
wholesale cut flower house in the city.
The move was necessitated, according to
President H. B. Kennicott, by the com-
pany's rapidly increasing business.
Wholesalers Organize.
Growing out of the efforts to secure
for the trade a more efficient express
service, a dinner was given at Hotel
Sherman February 15, at which prac-
tically all the wholesale florists of Chi-
cago were present or represented. It
was a good-fellowship meeting, but out
of it came the decision to form a per-
manent organisation for the general
betterment of conditions in the trade.
The name chosen is Chicago Wholesale
Cut Flower Association and a dinner
will be held monthly for the develop-
ment of the social side and the discus-
sion of trade problems. There is, of
Fbbruabt 22, 1917.

Keeping Time with Progress
In the news columDs of this paper auDouQcement is made of
our moving into the former quarters of the E. C. Amling Company.
For years we have been crowded for some suitable available
space for us to do business, and our new quarters meet our
requirements most admirably.
For the making of this move, we owe to our growers our
thanks for their loyalty and to theth greatest credit is due. Our
group of growers are as one in the co-operation with the manage-
ment of this business.
To our Retailers : We have noted their continuous and added
patronage that has brought about our marked increase in business.
To give complete satisfaction to the Growers and to the
Retailers, we belie.ve we have made a move in the Right Direction.
With our new surroundings we will make a most complete show-
ing of Cut Flowers.
The Personal Service of the Kennicott Bros. Co. is distinct
from that of any other service in this market.
When we have moved and settled down— to growers and
retailers— we say, "Come right in"— we are in business to serve you.

course, a great deal such an organiza-
tion can do for the general good, aside
from securing special express service
for cut flower shipments and thereby
avoiding such complications as came at
Christmas; it can, for instance, work
toward a standardization of grades of
roses and can, perhaps, check the tend-
ency to produce quantity at the expense
of quality.
The officers of the new organization
are: President, A. F. Poehlmann, of
Poehlmann Bros. Co.; vice-president,
Paul Klingsporn, of the Chicago Flower
Growers' Association; treasurer, P. C.
Schupp, of J. A. Budlong; secretary,
A. G. Kohlbrand, of the E. C. Amling
Co. The officers were made a commit-
tee to draft by-laws for presentation at
a special meeting in about two weeks.
Various Notes.
Prices for Beauties have been con-
siderably higher, on the average, than
in previous seasons, but the production
of first quality blooms has been so small
that a further reduction in the plantings
is in prospect. Most of the Beauty
growers in this locality have decided
that it has become the least profitable
rose on the list.
Wiltgen & Freres, wholesale florists,
opened for business February 19, at their
store at 169 to 175 North Wabash ave-
nue, where they will handle a complete
line of cut flowers. Their store, which
is in the basement of the new Amling
building, affords' a floor space of 18 x
63 feet. M. Freres says that he is well
satisfied with the way in which business
started.
In the belief that a large business can
be built up by a store without expensive
frills, O. J. Friedman is moving his
second floor venture in the Ohio build-
ing to the more conspicuous corner
rooms. The name used is Ohio Floral
Co., Thomas Fogarty being in charge.
Emil Reichling, superintendent of
Poter Reinberg's greenhouses, expects
to have an early cut of new roses this
year. Pour houses of Russells were
planted last week.

There are reports that considerable
quantities of canna roots shipped dur-
ing the recent zero weather were badly
frozen and John P. Degnan, of Winter-
son 's Seed Store, says he looks for a
shortage of many varieties, especially
of King Humbert, and for advancing
prices as the season progresses.
Mrs. W. J. Smyth has been able to re-

Roses, which are not any too plentiful,
have been selling satisfactorily, at good
prices. There has been a strong call for
Russell, but the supply of this variety
has been inadequate. Splendid blooms
of Killarney and Ophelia experience a
quick sale, with Ophelia, as usual, lead-
ing in quality and popularity. Amer-
ican Beauties are in robust demand, but
it is difficult to find enough of them, even
at stiff prices. Sweet peas of fine qual-
ity are shown in profusion, but a lively
sale precludes any glut or surplus
of these. Carnations are plentiful.

but do not sell as easily as they might,
though here and there a retailer says
they are his best sellers. There is a
flood of bulbous stock, including jon-
quils, freesias and daffodils, but the de-
mand seems to take care of these, with
the prices still good. Rainbow freesias

Orchids are more plentiful now and

and the price is steep. Good violets in
liberal supply last week found a host

After noon St. Valentine 's day orders
came in thick and fast, particularly for
eorsages, baskets and plants. As the
day was mild, deliveries were made
'vithout any hardships.

Hans Rosacker has been attracting a
good business with his fine supply of
young plants.

The Market.
Last week the market opened with
stock as scarce as ever and the demand
for St. Valentine's day was almost equal
to that of Christmas or Easter. Ship-
ping trade has been unusuallj^good. The
end of the week still found a steady de-
mand, with stock well cleaned up.
Bulbous stock of all kinds is coming
in and the better class of stock is bring-
ing good prices. Snapdragons are at
last coming into crop, having been off all
winter. Sweet peas are in good supply
and move readily. Valley is scarce.
There has been a good cut of violets, but
the heavy call has kept them on the
move.
Various Notes.
St. Valentine's business this year was
the best ever seen at the Parker Flower
Shop. They had all they could handle.
Fred Lainson, of Council Bluffs, is
sending to Omaha some of the finest car-
nations seen on the market. The keep-

Fittabursb Cat Flower Co.. of nttsbursb. Pa., writes: "Your

W. (). Potter Co., succesHor to the McCallum Co., of Cleveland,

obtainable quality and second to none, such as has never been on

ihe main thing in the making of wreaths. Also your leaves are
iiniform in color, which gives the finished wreath a rich tone qual-
ity, ;iii(l this gets the results for the florists. Up to now all iml-

worth mentioning. Every wholesale florist who wants to protect
his trade should sell only your product. We have found that you
Slave kept up the quality always, and we hope that you will con-
tinue to do so. The florists are willing to pay a few cents more per
case on your goods, which are really cheaper in comparison with
any other brands which are flooding the markets from time to

take pleasure in advising that we have found all of these leaves
which we received from you to be of an even size and medium
length. Both the size and the length being extremely uniform.
They have also reached us in pliable condition, and altogether
we have been quite well satisfied with them."
The Kervan Co., of New York City, writes: "We have handled
your Magnolia leaves for several years and we take pleasure In
announcing that our already long list of satisfied customers con-
tinues to grow. Since we have handled your leaves we have never
had a complaint, but before that there was dissatisfaction."
The Montreal Floral Excbanare, Montreal, Canada, writes: "Our
business has Increased with you this year over double of what we
purchased last season, which is a good recommendation in Itself that
the trade In Canada appreciates the durability and keeping qualities
of your leaf. We appreciate the Integrity, promptness and good
business methods that have characterixed all your dealings with us."
Micblnn Cut Flower Exchange. Detroit, Mich., says: "We have
been handling your 'Superiora' Magnolia Leaves for the past six
years and find in ail this time that we have had no complaints but
many compliments on these goods., etc., etc."
Jos. E. Koppelman, of Providence, R. I., writes: "We feel that
Wje can sell your leaves to people who have used them once without
any trouble. They rather pay the difference than to buy other
leaves elsewhere, etc., etc."
McAlpine & McDonald, of Boston, Mass., write: "In answer
to your letter of January 5th, requesting our endorsement on
•Superiora' Magnolia Leaves, would say that you might put us
down as saying that we have found them a most satisfactory leaf

wish to say that our business dealings with the Dr. H. Dux Co.

Henry M. Robinson & Co., of Boston, Mass., write: "We are

ever manufactured in this country, and it is a pleasure to offer such
stock for sale, etc."
Reed & Keller, of New York City, say: . . and we bee

PHILADELPHIA.
The Market.
Everybody who grows daffodils forces
them into flower for St. Valentine's day,
with the result that everybody has a
hand in smashing the market. Daffo-
dils, Golden Spur, went down, down,
down, until immediately after Valen-
tine 's day they sold at prices quite
pleasing to the bears. The pre-Lenten
season has closed with all the flowers
on the list strong, except Golden Spurs.
The supply of Spurs is still so heavy that
these can be bought cheaply. Roses,
particularly Killarney, are a little more
plentiful. White roses are in active de-
mand. They bring surprisingly high
prices. Beauties are quite scarce; the
crop is now at its lowest ebb.
The Spencer type of sweet peas are
extremely fine. Most of the flowers are
pink, the popular color, with the other
colors in smaller supply. The old grandi-
flora, or early-flowering type of sweet
peas have absolutely no chance in the •
market against the Spencers, no matter
how well grown thoy may be. Violets
(lid moderately well for Valentine 's day,
but even then the supply was more than
sufficient. There are quite a number of
good orchids and valley, but both arc
selling well. The other flowers show no
especial change. The market for them
continues excellent.
The Rotary Club.
Not every florist knows about the
"Rotary Club, its aims and ambition. The
Rotary Club is formed of representa-
tive men from each branch of active
business. The idea is to limit the club
membership to just one man from each
business. The aim of the club is to
benefit all its members by association
with each other. The club motto, I do
not recall the exact words, is the broad
idea that each must give freely of his
best thoughts before he can hope to
learn from his neighbor. There are

The Coal Situation.
It is a most curious fact, possibly ar
unprecedented occurrence, that the
price of hard coal, in the florists' sizes
pea and buckwheat, is higher today in
the wholesale market when purchaseti
in carload lots than in the retail mar-
ket when purchased a ton or two at r;
time. This is explained by the retai'
coal merchants being protected by con
tracts which enable them to sell coal at
a profit below the sky-high prices quoted
at the mines, plus freight and delivery-

Florists who are obliged to buy hard
coal now will do well to look carefully
into this matter before ordering even
a small quantity of coal.
The Second Assembly.
Edward N. Habermehl said, with quiet
conviction in his tone, that the decora-
tions for the Second Assembly ball, held
in the Bellevue-Stratford Friday even-
ing, February 16, were the handsomest
that his firm had ever arranged. This
view was shared by his staff of decora-
tors, who assisted in the work and who,
to a man, voiced the same idea.
This result was the more gratifying
1 1'cause of the obstacles to be overcome.
' sually two days are allowed for this
' iaborate decoration. This time, how-
i^'^-or, owing to a party in the ballroom
t'le night before, work could not com-
1 ence until 7 o'clock on the morning
(f the day of the ball. Then some of
' '' material that was depended upon
' ilod to arrive, making it necessary to
■ lire other material at the last mo-
' nt. Despite these drawbacks, every-
* mg was ready on time without ap-
' lent hurry or fuss. This is high praise
■ t' the executive management.
The decorations for the Second As-
><'mbly ball differed as widely from those
"■'•anged for the First Assembly as
''ing does from winter. The heaviness
the spruce and hemlock used in the
muary decoration was replaced by a
ihtness, a grace and airiness sugges-
e of early springtime. The appear-
ce of the ballroom was a beautiful
one of garden, of lawn promenade and
' vistas of graceful foliage. The light-

ness was carried out overhead by the
free use of greenhouse-grown smilax on
chandeliers, softening the already sub-
dued colored lights. The garden scene
on the stage was carried out with con-
summate ability, the free use of pink
and, occasionally, white azaleas mate-
rially aiding the effect. Baskets of
tiger lilies, Lilium rubrum and of deep
pink Carnation Mrs. C. W. Ward, were
among the balcony ornaments.
The Clover room was arranged to rep-
resent a garden with a summer house,
benches, fountain of colored lights and
many groups of handsome plants. WiM
smilax was used overhead as in an ar-
bor. Two kinds of exquisite yellow
flowers, Acacia pubesccns and Bigno-
nia venusta, lent their charm to this
canopy.
The most noticeable feature of the
whole decoration was its grace. There
was absolutely no stiffness, no heavi-
ness, no crowding. All the plants ap-
peared to advantage. Each one gave
the impression of having grown for a
long time .iust where it was placed, and
of enjoying its surroundings.
A trellised grassy walk led to the
supper room, where the little tables
were adorned with high or low vases,
now and then baskets, of flowers. There
were American Beauties, scarce as they
are, on the patronesses' table, and tall
Easter lilies, low baskets of the rich
deep pink Mrs. Ward carnations, and so
on. Most of the flowers were in low
bowls or baskets — just enough tall
vases of flowers to enhance the effect
for the supper room.
The patronesses' bouquets were a
marvel of loveliness. They were made
in the half-round style that suggests
an apple sliced down the middle; a sen-
sible sort of bouquet because it can be
displayed without danger of spoiling
gown or flowers. Each bouquet, they
were all different, was formed of a va-
riety of flowers, perfect specimens, in
light harmonious shades of color. An
orchid, a gardenia, or maybe two, a
Sunburst rose, a spray of snapdragon,
a Double White Killarney and so on,
edged with that loveliest of ferns',
Adiantum -Farleyense. The bouquets
were all of good size, tied with dainty
ribbon in two colors or shades of color.
A Golden Window.
The neighborhood of Germantown and
Chelton avenues, where those two thor-
oughfares intersect, is rapidly becoming
a business center of first importance.
On the southern side of Chelton avenue,
just west of its historic neighboring
street, is a florist's window that at-
tracts the passer-by this week. It is a

aimed to produce an impression as a

whole. Each basket, perfect in itself,
forms part of the general efifect.
Golden was the predominating color.
Golden Spur daffodils, Yellow Prince
tulips and Calendula Prince of Orange
in several shades, with bows of golden
ribbon, gave this coloring. The effect
was softened by the pure white of Eas-
ter lilies, lilacs and narcissi, and con-
trasted by moderate use of violets, baby
primroses, scarlet tulips and — may I
sayt — mignonette. The flowers were
well arranged in baskets, with a strik-
ing black and yellow vase in the center,
placed on a green velvet cloth. The
baskets, white handles and birch bark,
were further graced by pussy willows
and ivy. Ferns were used in the back-
ground.
This pretty window was arranged by
Frank R. Hastings, personally.
Various Notes.
The February meeting of the Penn-
sylvania Horticultural Society was held
in the lecture room of Horticultural hall
Monday afternoon, February 19. Prof.
Sanders, the economic zoologist of the
Pennsylvania department of agriculture,
Harrisburg, Pa., spoke on "Control of
Insects That Are Injurious to Plant
Life. ' '
Alphonse Pericat, of Collingdale, is
flowering some of the beautiful Rainbow
freesias that come in the tender shades.
Robert F. Welsh spoke before the Ger-
mantown Horticultural Society in the
library of Vernon Park Monday even-
ing, February 19. His subject was "Mt.
Katahdin, in Maine."
Sentiment is so strongly in favor of a
twenty-five per cent advance in the price
of spring-flowering plants that it seems
almost certain the meeting held in the
Florists ' Club as this paper goes to press
will take action toward this end.
The regular meeting of the committee
in charge of the rose show to be held
next month took place on the afternoon
of February 15, in the Bellevue-Strat-
ford. The publicity campaign will com-
mence at once. The retail florists will
give the exhibition their hearty, prac-
tical support. The trade tickets are now
ready. The price is $25 per hundred.

Various Notes.
St. Louis was visited by a freak hail
storm February 19. One and one-quar-
ter inches of hail fell, and the pellets
were quite large in some sections. From
what I can learn this early, the Kirk-
wood growers escaped damage, as the
stones were too small in that section to
do any harm. John Bentzen is said to
have lost 1,000 panes of glass; the
Young Bros. Floral Co., 150 lights; John
Nyflot, 500, and John Shields, 300. The
weather bureau said the storm was un-
usual for February. Light hail storms
are not uncommon during the winter
months, but the heavy fall February 19
was remarkable.
The St. Louis Aquarium Society held
a meeting last week and accepted the
invitation to exhibit fishes in connec-
tion with the spring flower show at the
First Eegiment armory, March 15 to 18.
George H. Bring, orchid expert at the
Missouri Botanical Garden, was present
and lectured on "Native Aquatic
Plants." John P Woods, state fish com-
missioner, spoke on the "Food Value of
Fish."
Grimm & Gorly furnished the deco-
rations for the biggest wedding of the
season. Several thousand Ophelia roses
and white lilacs were used.
The Missouri State Horticultural So-
ciety has named the crab apple blossom
as the state flower. H. C. Irish, presi-
dent of the society, says a bill was in-
troduced in the Missouri assembly nam-
ing this blossom as the state flower.
Arthur Endicott, 20 years of age, an
employee in the greenhouses of the Mis-

cently by an automobile. Young Endi-
cott had his overcoat collar over his ears

EXTRACTS FROM OUR ENDORSEMENTS
The Wm. Murphy Co., of Cincinnati, O., writes: "We find your
'Superiora' Magnolia Leaves the best product of the kind we have
ever sold, and we take pleasure In congratulating you on same and
recommending them to all in need of a flrst-claas satisfactory
leaf."
B. E. & J. T. Cokely, of Scranton, Pa., write: "We have
always considered your Magnolia Leaves to be a standard for Quality,
•tc."
The Baltimore Wholesale Florist and Supply Co., oT Baltimore,
Md., writes: "We are confident that any other manufactured Mag-
nolia Leaves could not compete with yours, aa other brands have
been offered us, which, after we tried them, we refused to carry
In stock."
N. F. McCarthy & Co., of Boston, Mass., write: ". . . It
is the opinion of McCarthy & Co. that your good firm prepares the
best leaf that has yet been offered in the United States. It is well
worth the difference between the prices offered by inferior manu-
facturers and your agents."
Jos. Zlska & Sons, of Chicago, 111., write: "We feel that you
are entitled to a compliment on the good quality of your 'Superiora'
brand Magnolia Leaves. We have handled these goods for a long
time — in fact, we believe that we are one of the first handlers of
your goods here in Chicago, and must say that we have as yet to
get a return of your merchandise. Even buyers that were always
accustomed to buying the foreign brands realize and admit that
your leaves are far superior."
The Cleveland Florists' Exchange, Cleveland, O., says: ". . .
never as yet have we had a complaint on the 'Superiora' brand of
Magnolia Leaves, nor a carton returned."
Smith & Young Co., of Indianapolis, Ind., writes: "We will con-
tinue to use 'Superiora' exclusively as we consider it superior to any
other leaf In the market. Since we handle 'Superiora' we have not
had one single complaint, etc., etc."
The Leo Niessen Co., of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "To the best
of our knowledge your leaves are of the best quality and as good
as we can get In the market."
The Cleveland Cut Flower Co., «f Cleveland, Ohio, writes:
". . . that we have been sending you orders for 'Superiora' brand
Magnolia Leaves for several years should prove that we like your
goods . . ."
The Dale Estate, of Brampton, Ont., wrl^: "We are glad to
state that any 'Superiora' leaves that we hSve had In the past
were always as reported and gave satisfaction In our business."
Geo. H. Anyennneller, of 8t. Louie, Mo., aaya: "It pleases me
to say that I have worked up a splendid business on your 'Superiora'
Magnolia Leaves, and I credit my success to the fact that the Quality
of your leaves has always been entirely satisfactory to my customers,
etc."
Oscar Lelatner, of Chicago, HI., writes: ". . . As you know,
before you gave us the sole agency for the Western country, we were
handling a different leaf, but these leaves gave us no end of trouble
and our customers were very much disappointed with the Quality.
Since we have been handling your leaves we find that the complaints
from our customers have entirely disappeared, and the trade seems
anxious to buy your leaves exclusively. Only today one of our cus-
tomers told us that he had bought 100 cartons of Magnolias from
one of your competitors, but that he has been compelled to return
them, as his customers absolutely refused to accept them, due to the
fact that the leaves are 'off-color' as well as mouldy, etc."
New York Florists' Supply Co., of New York City, writes: "Since
we have been handling your 'Superiora' Magnolia Leaves we have
had no complaints about the quality, and can assure you that in
our Judgment they are fully up to the standard of the best im-
ported."
C. E. Crltchell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, writes: "My customers insist
on having the 'Superiora' brand of Magnolias, as they claim these
are the best, and that they do not dry out or become mouldy, and
that every leaf can be used, and when this is taken into considera-
tion, they are also the cheapest, besides being the best."
The McCaUnm Co., of Pittsburgh, Pa., says: "Other Magnolia
preparers have tried to Induce us to stock up their goods 'Just as
good as Dux's' at a cheaper price, but we have in each Instance told
them frankly that it was a case of quality with us, and that we did
not think their leaf would give the satisfaction yours did. We con-
sider our Magnolia trade one of the best assets of our business and
will not take a chance of losing it; in fact, our traveling men are
often greeted as 'Magnolia Kings.' "
Li. Banmann & Co., of Chicago, 111., write: "We regard your
'Superiora' Magnolia Leaves as being unequaled and certainly
would not want to have anything else. Tour leaves need no recom-
mendation— they speak for themselves."

Alkof the seed houses were busy last
week. The fine, sprjng-like weather
caused quite a rush. The St. Louis Seed
Co., which recently suffered a heavy loss
from fire, now is in shape to handle all
business.
Oliver K. Sanders, head of the retail
department of the Sanders Nursery Co.,

a good run of society work last week.
A great St. Valentine's day business was
(lone. C. C. Sanders, head of the nurs-
ery department, reports plenty of orders
to work on as soon as the weather per-
mits.
Martin Seeger, head of the Mullanphy
Florists, says they never were so busy
St. Valentine 's day as they were this
year. The day is fast becoming one of
the best flower holidays of the year.
Fred H. Weber will open one of the
finest retail establishments in the west

ner of Olive and Taylor avenues. A
large conservatory will face Taylor ave-
nue. The old stand at Boyle and

The Market.
Business last week was exceptionally
good, there having been much decorative
and funeral work. The telegraph busi-
ness showed an increase over that of
previous weeks, in both incoming and
outgoing orders. Prices on all flowers
remain about the same as quoted last
week. Azaleas are coming in more
plentifully and are in good demand.
Lilac is good and sells well both in pots
and as cut flowers. Toledoans seem to
be going in more for spring flowers this
year than ever before, and centerpieces
made of lavender and white sweet peas,
with forsythias, pussy willows, daffo-
dils, tulips, etc., not only sell readily
but also bring good prices. Daffodils
are more plentiful at the present writ-
ing and bring $3 per hundred. Tulips
and narcissi are not so plentiful at pres-

St. Valentine's Day Business.
Never before in the history of this
city's trade did St. Valentine's day busi-
ness come up to the notch that rewarded
the florists for their efforts this year in
boosting and advertising St. Valentine's
day as a flower day. Business com-
pletely swamped the live-wire florists of
the city and almost completely ex-
hausted the tremendous supply of cut
flowers for the day. Roses sold by the
hundreds, as also did carnations and
bulbous flowers, but most astounding of
all was the great sale of violets. Florists
in this city were completely sold out of
violets a little after noon on St. Valen-
tine's day, and then orders had to be
booked for peas and the novelties.
Baskets artistically arranged with as-
sorted flowers and heart-shaped boxes
containing corsage bouquets of various
styles predominated, next to clusters of
violets and roses. The quantity of
potted plants sold was remarkable.
This again encourages florists not
to be backward in making flower days
more prominent, and not to hesitate to
spend a little money on newspaper ad-
vertising and the like. The great
amount of business transacted February
14 stands out conspicuously and shows
what can be done when we work more
systematically. Let us remember this
again next year and not slip back into
the old rut and allow this day to sink
into oblivion, which surely will be the
case if we drop our earnest activity and
forgot to "beat yesterday."
The Florists' Telegraph Delivery also
•was a big factor in advancing the sales
■on this day, and it is plain to b6 seen
liow florists and the public at large are
"beginning to realize the benefits of this
means of sending flowers to friends in
<Iistant cities.
Various Notes,
Mrs. J. B. Freeman reports that busi-
tiess surpassed all previous records of
former St, Valentine's days and that
half again as many orders could have
\)een filled at her store had it not been
for a shortage of flowers.
Miss Helen Patten %aid that never
since the inception of her flower store
has she taken care of so many orders.
The orders ranged in price from $3 to
^0 and upward on the big day.

tity of orders for table decorations for
this day and, together with the sales
of violets and tastefully arranged bas-
kets, report the best business ever. The
overwhelming increase of sales of this
year over last year for this day was due
mostly to the newspaper advertising
done by this firm. Several half -page ads
in the local newspaper of February 12

what an increase in sales can be effected
when gone after in the correct way and

stop the losses from withered flowers due to lack of
preservation. If you could sell all the blossoms that now
wither in stock and are thrown away, think how much you
could increase your proflts.
You can do just that with

a cool, even temperature, and keeps your flowers always fresh and
salable. Your losses from withered stock are done away with.
The McCray is handsome, too. And its plate glass
doors and sides display your flowers in the most attractive way.
The different compartments vary in size to accommodate different
lengths of stems.
The woodwork may be had in any finish to match your
store's interior decoration. The linings may be either heavy plate
mirror or white enamel, as you desire. Both are handsome and
easy to keep clean.

The Market.
Business, as usual, has been running
at high tide during the last week and,
thanks to a few days of sunshine, stock
has increased to meet the heavy de-
mands. Funeral work and flowers for
the sick have provided the florists with
many generous orders. The excellent
St. Valentine 's day business cleaned up
every sweet pea, violet and valley in
the city and went deeply into the sup-
ply of roses and spring flowers. We
think Valentine's day can be made
just as great a flower day as Christmas
or Easter, with the aid of judicious ad-
vertising to educate the public.
All of the growers now are supplying
large quantities of sweet peas of excel-
lent quality, which are quickly sold.
Calendulas and ten weeks' stocks are
being shown, as well as some extra fine
Keystone snapdragons. A vase of Rain-
bow freesias in a Fourth avenue window
caused many to stop and admire. White
lilac is coming in and is of high quality.
There also is a plentiful supply of Paper
White narcissi, at 75 cents per dozen.
Lilium gigantcum is still extremely
scarce. There seems to be an opening
for some wide-awake grower who will
specialize in this flower.
Various Notes.
While this column is conducted for
the Louisville florists, we feel we are
not getting as much of their cooperation
as we should. When we call and ask
for news, some are not as talkative as
they might be. Any items in this col-
umn are dug up with great difficulty.
Helping the writer will be helping your-
self, Mr. Florist.
The death of two of Louisville's
prominent men brought the florists some
good orders. Mrs. M. D. Reimers han-
dled tlip family order of C. P. Moorman.
Mrs. C. B. Thompson furnished flow-
ers for an elaborate double wedding St.
Valentine's day, which taxed the ca-
pacity of the Thompson store. This
was in addition to the other rush for this
day.
The roses at the Rasmussen green-
houses are coming into lieavy crop, hav-
ing been helped by the bright weather.

The auto show has come and gone, but
the memories of gold cars, limousines,
roadsters and "flivvers" still remain.
The Armory was artistically decorated
for this occasion, the work being done
by the E. G. Reimers & Son Co., which
furnished several hundred palms, ferns
and other plants. Large quantities of
southern smilax were also used.
At the New Albany department of

White narcissi was noted. Work is
progressing on the Easter stock and
bedding plants are receiving much at-
tention.
At the vegetable houses of L. A. Plice
a crop of extremely fine Grand Rapids
lettuce had just been cut, and the beds
were being put into shape for another
crop. Some fine radishes were almost
ready for market. Beets and cauliflower
are started under glass here and later

thought of here. Mr. Guthrie is said
to be the pioneer in growing winter-
flowering peas in this section, discover-
ing their value as an indoor crop by
accident.
John Werneke also specializes in
sweet peas and some fine blooms on 18-
inch stems were being cut. The vines
are extremely thrifty at present, being
about twelve feet in height.
According to J. E. Marret, great
quantities of stock are being disposed
of, but profits do not compare well with
the business done. "We think other flo-
rists would find the same true if an ac-
curate cost record were kept. There is
only one remedy for this, and that is
to raise the prices of flowers. It has
been done in every other line of business
and must be done in this, if we are to
stay in business. We must come to it
sometime, so why not nowf
George Schulz has issued a handsome
booklet describing his prize-winning
strain of white Leghorn chickens. In
addition to being one of the most
progressive florists in town, he has de-
veloped a breed of chickens that has
won over the best stock in the country.
W, C. Leeming, who for many years
supplied Louisville florists with choice
sweet peas, chrysanthemums and other
flowers, has been gpradually going into
the nursery business and landscape
work. Although he still conducts his
greenhouses, the growing and selling of
ornamental nursery stock has become
his specialty. At present he has the
largest and most complete line of orna-
mental shrubs and evergreens to be
found in the state. Last fall he planted
many of the large country estates along
the river road. He expects this spring
to be the best in the history of the busi-
ness for this kind of work.

Husinoss continued fairly good last
woek in spite of severely cold weather.
Trade for St. Valentine's day was j^ood,
but would have been better with warm-
er weather, temperatures being 8 to 1.5
degrees below zero in this vicinity on
the morning of February 14. Violets
and roses sold well, while there was a
more moderate call for valley, sweet
peas, orchids and gardenias. Forget-
me-not?, as usual, sold well. There is not
as yet any great rose surplus, although
the milder weather now prevailing is
sending along the spring crop. Amer-
ican Beauties are ,iust about equal to
the demand, with little change in prices.
Hybrid tea roses sell mostly at from
$2 to $12. .lO per hundred, some fancy
stock going higher, but it is getting
more difficult to obtain fancy prices
owing to the abundance of other flowers.
Carnations are a little weaker. Some
fancies make $4, but the general run
goes at $2.50 to $3. The quality is of
the highest. Violets, which averaged
$1 for St. Valentine's day, are coming
in much more freely and are lower in

price. Sweet peas are of splendid qual-
ity, with a wide price range from 50
cents to $2. Practically all varieties of
tulips and narcissi are obtainable, Dar-
win tulips included. Prices on these are
about the same as a week ago, but a
few mild days will cause a decline.
Such flowers as marguerites, snap-
dragons, wallflowers, forget-me-nots,
[lansies, double English daisies, English
primroses, mignonette and anemones are
coming in much more freely. The only
iris as yet seen on the market is I.
Tingitana, an Algiers variety. No Span-
ish iris will appear for some time yet.
(iardenias are abundant and selling
slowly; the same is true of cattleyas.
There 03. a good sup])ly of cypripediums,
Iwlias, phalainopsis, dendrobes and other
orcliids. Green stock moves well.
Pot plant trade is good. Forced
shrubs in variety, cyclamens, cinerarias,
Darwin tulips, hyacinths, narcissi, aza-
leas, schizanthus, genistas and a few
rambler roses are among tiie varieties
seen.
Club Meeting.
Carnation night, February 20, at-
tracted, as usual, a large number of
members, the lecture room of Horticul-
tural hall being well filled. The ban-
quet committee made a financial report
showing a profit from the banquet and
advertising matter in the booklet of
about $250. An interesting address was
inaile by C. S. Strout, vice-president of
the A. C. S., on the growing of young
stock. He also spoke of the varieties he
grows at Biddeford and compared their
values. He hoped Boston in 1918 will
give the finest exhibition the American
Carnation Society has yet held.
S. .T. Goddard spoke of varieties seen
at the convention; also at Indianapolis,
La Fayette and other establishments
visited.
The coming big spring exhibition of
the Massachusetts Horticultural Society
was boomed and everyone urged to sup-
port it. The lecturer for the meeting in
March, it was announced, would be

Various Notes.
At Carbone 's store, on Boylston
street, there always are some new and
unique plants and flowers to be seen and
these are always displayed in a most
a'sthetic manner, quite different from
the average retail store. Among cut
flowers, colored freesias, anemones,
crinums, phalspnopsis, hybrid amaryllis,
clivias and irises WH>re noted. A large
assortment of forced deciduous shrubs,
schizanthus, DarAvin tulips, ericas,
acacias, Cineraria stellata, camellias
and other flowering j)lants Avere to be
seen. 8t. Valentino's day trade was the
heaviest on record. ]\lr. Carbone, in
spite of Avar conditions, again is in
Europe purchasing supplies, and expects
to be away for several months.
Prof. A. II. Xehrling, with a class of
floricultural students from Amlierst,
spoilt February 14 to 16 Aisiting various
establishments, stores and markets in
ami about Boston. Calls wore made on
S. J. r.oddard, J. T. Butterworth, Wil-
liam Nicholson, William Sim, Thomas
Ro1an<l, P'aulkner Farm, Weld Garden,
the wholesale flower markets and the re-
tail stores of Penn, Galvin and Carbone.
Prof. Nelirling leaA-es Amherst March

ment at Crawfordsvillc, Ind. He has
done a splendid work at Amherst and ex-
pressions of regret at his leaving are
heard on all sides.
Robert T. McGorum, of Natick, is
sending in as fine a lot of roses as any
grower for the Boston market. His

Portlaml, Me., auto show. Mr. Rey-
nolds, one of the firm, recently returned
from a business trip through Maine and
Xew Brunswick and was surprised at
the growth of the industry in New
Brunswick since his jirevious visit.
William Downs siient a few days vis-
iting friends in town last week and is
much improved in health. He is living
quietly at Belfast, Me., but hopes to be
sufficiently recovered by April to resume
some of his horticultural activities.
Judging from the way entries are com-
ing in for the big spring show March
21 to 2,5, Horticultural hall will be se-
verely taxed to accommodate every-
thing. A large part of the available
space is already spoken for. Everything
indicates that this will be the finest
spring show Boston ever has held.
The prohibition of imports of all nurs-
ery stock meets with little favor locally.
All our serious pests have not been in-
troduced on nursery stock. The gypsy
moth, our most serious local pest, was
brought over for experimental purposes

results of our plant advertisements
in The Review; orders have come

territory.
Germain Plant & Seed Co.
^^cilifZir' By M. L. Germain. Pres.
R. Richards, of Bristol, England, a
nurseryman of the old school, passed away
January 20, aged 79 years. He was the
father of H. R. Richards, correspondent
for The Review at Los Angeles.
GRALLERT'S CYCLAMEN.
Paul W. A. Grallert, of Oakland, Gal.,
had the best Christmas business in his
history this season, largely because of
his success with cyclamens. The accom-
panying illustration is reproduced from
a photograph made December 1, 1916.
These are two King houses; that is, they
are truss houses erected with material
supplied by the King Construction Co.,
North Tonawanda, N. Y. The plants
in the foreground are in 10-inch fern
pans. In view of the small supply and
the fact that many good growers did
not have as fine stock as usual, Mr.
Grallert feels especially well pleased
with his success, which was readily con-
vertible into dollars.
SEATTLE, WASH.
The Market.
St. Valentine's day tliis year was
more generally observed in a floral way
than tliat of any other ygar, resulting
ill con.siderably more business for the
florists. One contributing reason, of
course, was the heavier advertising done
in the local ])apers, as consistently advo-
cated in The Review. Business, apart
from this occasion, has not been particu-
larly brisk. For one thing, tlic weather,
tliougli mild, has not been bright, and
the ]iublic does not seem to buy flowers
so frequently wlieii there is no sunshine.
Stock of most of the stai)le flowers is
now fairly abundant, but there is far
from a glut in any item. Carnations
are arriving in larger quantities than at
any time this winter and, tiiough there
is no superabundance, the quality is
much improved and good jirjces are
maintained. Roses mostly come from
southern points and are of good quality.
The demand for tliem is excellent.
Daffodils and tulips are plentiful and
tliere has been some unreasonable cut-
ting of prices, leaving no profit to
grower or retailer. Of course the re-
tailer is the guilty party in these trans-
actions, but usually in these cases the
retailer and grower are the same person.
The trade always suffers thereby. A few
local violets are coining in, but not
nearly enough to satisfy the demand.
Imported ones are abundant. Cinerarias
and cyclamens now occupy prominent
positions among the pottecl ])lants, and
hyacinths and tulips sell well.
Various Notes.
The Seattle Landscajie Gardeners'
Association is giving a demonstration

of rose pruning in one of the city parks.
This is of much interest to rose lovers,
of whom there are a large number in
tills city.
F. J. Cole and Frank Quillin are
happy men these days, both of them
having become fatliers of fine girls.
Carl Melbv reports a fine Valentine
business. F. W. Winters now is first
assistant in the Pike street store. A
large number of Easter lilies are being
grown at the Madison street greenhouse.
Judging by appearances at the
Orpheum Floral Store, the Valentine
business must have been phenomenal.
There was hardly anything left for next
day.

such productions and is certainly most

LOS ANGELES.
The Market.
During the last week carnations have
become more plentiful; indeed, on some
days there have been more carnations
than could be handled, as well as vio-
lets, wliile on other days they have
cleaned up well. Other stock, with the
exception of a few small flowers, is
still on the short side and apparently
will be for some time, if business keeps
up at its present clip. Indoor roses are
a little cheaper, but the demand keeps
up well, and for large decorations or
special jobs there is usually some diffi-
culty in obtaining enough stock. Daf-
fodils, freesias and other bulbous flow-
ers still come slowly, owing to the cold
nights, and some days there are not
nearly enough to go around.
Orchids are on the scarce list; so are
Cecile Brunner roses, dladioli con-
tinue to come in small quantities, but
there are enough for the demand.
Callas are becoming more jdentiful as
the season advances and, though there
is a small local demand, ([uite a uiimber
are shipped out of town, especially to
the desert sections. (Jood cornflowers
arc scarce, but other small stock of tliis
nature is more plentiful.
There is a great difference in the
quality of the Easter lilies now coming
into the market. Some of them open
freely and make a fine display; others
persist in going "sleepy," probably on
account of lack of vigor in the stems.
Pussy willows, fruit and shrub branches,
acacias and similar stock continue to be
used in window displays and as fillers
for large decorations for weddings.
There is a little valley coming in, but
not nearly enough for the demand,
thougli the demand is smaller than for-
merly on account of the absence of val-
ley from the market for so long. As-
paragus ])liunosus is still scarce and
much of it is ]ioor and sliort. Other
greens are aljout efpisil to the demand.
In ])ot ])lants a few hyacinths are
about the best offering outside of aza-
leas. Of the latter A. mollis is more
jih'ntit'iil than A. Indica.
The death of several ])rominent citi-
zens last week made funeral work plen-
tiful and this was followed by heavy
demand for mediiim-j)riced flowers.

Anioufj the stock being shif)ped from

tra good rose-pink carnations and out-
door sweet ])eas. Manager Fred Sperry
says that the shipping business is keep-

The Broadway Florist is rapidly com-

no doubt liaving a good deal to do with
this, as well as the attractive store.

Funeral work has been good there of

The St. \'alentine"s day windows at
Darling's Flower Shop were remark-
ably good, a good idea being worked out
to attract the crowds. Business was
good.
Every wholesaler and retailer in the
city whom I spoke to said that the Val-
entine 's day business this year was
much the best ever experienced.
The Santa Cruz Evergreen Co. re-
ports an excellent business this season
in what is termed "blossoms;" that is,
cut branches of Acacia Baileyana and
various other shrubs and trees. Bernard
Tassano on his recent trip north secured
a fine lot of double red peach, which is
one of the best of these trees.

H. R, Richards.
SAN FRANCISCO.
The Market,
The local trade is well pleased over
St. Valentine's day sales, as more peo-
ple than in former years responded to
the suggestion, "Let your valentine be
flowers." The large volume of busi-
ness done on that day was the direct
result of extra effort "by the florists in
l>roviding attractive novelties and plac-
ing them before the public iu an advan-
tageous manner. Several members of
the trade here are of the opinion that
the valentine business lias been more
or less neglected in the past, and the
results of this year's increased adver-
tising probably will lead to greater
tilings another year.
Flowers were not ovorploiitiful, so the
increased demand resulted in a close
('lean-uj). The supply of violets was
much better than was anticipated earlier
in the montli, and the (juality this week
is better than at any other "time during
the season. When the flowers were not
up to the standard some were shipjied
to eastern points, and that lias had a
tendency to hurt out-of-town business.
More roses could have l)oeii used \'al-
entine 's day, and it required consider-
able ingenuity on the jiart of tlie sales-
men to switch orders to other flowers
to avert a real sliortage of roses. The
receipts of American Beauties are light;
in fact, these roses have lieen scarce
during the entire winter. Selected
blooms bring tof) prices. i'Vw white
roses are ofl'ere<l, many of the growers
having become discouraged at the spas-
modic demand for such stock and turned
their attention to other varieties. Tlad-
ley is the best of tlie reds. CoTUplaints
regarding Russell, Oplielia, Shawyer
•and Sunburst are as to quantity, not
quality. The scarcity of roses applies
to the general market, some houses witli
private sources of sii|i])ly reporting
enough roses for tlieir recjuirenients.
Daff"odils are a])undant and cheaper,
but clear wonderfully well. For local
use much stock can ]h> had at .jd and
7o cents ]ier hundred. Other bulbous
flowers also are offereil more f reel v.
Tu]ii)s and hyacintlis are coining in
nicidy and are meeting with great popu-
larity. Freesias are still plentiful; so
are Paper Whites and Romans. There
now seems to be an abundance of valley,
but no recession in prices is noted as
yet, although lower quotations seem in-
evitable if the heavy cut continues long.
Cattleyas are rather scarce, but many
varieties of spray orchids are available.
The su])ply of carnations is about equal
to the demand. Aspara^'us and adian-
tum are still on the short side of the
market. Almond blossoms are having
a good call.

Miss Bertha Cohn, of the Bellevue
Florists, says the force has been busy
with table decorations and funeral work.

SPOKANE, WASH.
The Market.
There has been little change in mar-
ket conditions. Stock is plentiful, gen-
erally of good quality, and has a fair mar-
ket. Everyone connected with the
flower business is wearing a smile and
trying to look prosperous, regardless of
the condition of his bank account.
Funeral and decorative work is using
up much stock. St. Valentine's day
business was good, according to all who
have been interviewed, some saying that
they had increases over last year as
high as fifty per cent, while others say
that from twenty to twenty-five per cent
would be a fair estimate of their in-
creases.
At any rate, it was a good business
day. No exorbitant prices were asked.
All lines of stock moved well. There
was a decided preference for corsages
and basket arrangements of both plants
and cut flowers.
Various Notes.
Donart & Stapleton worked overtime
handling their Valentine's day business,
at the same time putting up a decora-
tion for a church wedding and home
reception. This firm is making exten-
sive plans for its seed business and
has engaged to take charge of this de-
partment Frederick Hewlett, who for
several years was with a leading seeds-
man of England.
H. L. Olson has been figuring with the
intention of building at least two houses
this summer.
Henry Reimers is marketing splendid
onhids, the best seen here in some time.
Adolph Donart is in with a big crop
of sweet peas, which arc finding a good
market for funeral design work.

PORTLAND, ORE.
The Market.
St. Valentine's day was well ob-
served as a special flower day here this
year. No newspaper advertising was
done, but all the retail stores had win-
dow displays suggesting the suitability
of flowers as valentines. The report
from the retail trade is unanimous in
that it was the best Valentine business
ever known. Although red was the fa-
vorite, the public did not insist on any
special color, but took yellow, pink,
white or lavender without any great
discrimination. The bright weather had
brought on a large supply of stock,
which was of first-class quality and
which was cleaned up at profitable
prices. The displays of potted tulips
wore unusually fine and these sold to
the last pot.

sonable prices to people who had more
money to spend this February 14 than
in several years. Aside from the spe-
cial day, business was somewhat light
last week. The demand for funeral
work was less than for some time.
Various Notes.
Carl Starker, who owns and operates
a range of glass at Jennings Lodge, has
had good success with his winter-flower-
ing sweet peas. He is picking about
300 bunches per week.
Clarke Bros, reported a good demand
for made-up baskets for use as valen-
tines.
The Tonseth Floral Co. had good suc-
cess with potted tulips; the public ap-
preciated them.
Miss Dorothy Bradley, who has been
with the Swiss Floral Co. for some time,

who operates a range of glass and a

FEEDING FORMOSA LILIES.
What is best for feeding Formosa
lilies, and at what strength should it be
used? Is it best to feed only the ones
that are showing buds? My lilies are
from nine to eighteen inches high and
have strong roots. Do you think they
have made enough growth? They look
strong and healthy and have a good,
dark green color. They were planted
about November 1, 1916, and some of
tiiem are one foot high and are showing
buds. Do they make most of their
growth after showing buds? This is the
first time I have grown them. I followed
the cultural methods given in The Re-
view. A. L. — Mo.
A proportion of these lilies always
come somewhat dwarf and some of them
throw only a solitary flower. Many,
iiowevcr, will throw Ave to seven flow-
ers and some of the stronger ones double
that number. These latter usually grow
three to four feet in height. The shoots
will lengthen considerably after the
buds appear. Liquid cow or sheep ma-
nure can be used to best advantage. If
you soak the manure in a barrel or tank,
use one-eighth of this liquid to seven-
eighths of clear water. Do not feed un-
til you are sure the plants arc well root-
ed. Apply it once in four or five days.

Thk soaring price of vegetables is sure
to make a big tall for seeds this season for
planting home gardens.
Seed potatoes never were so valuable as
now an(l it is a question how many grow-
ers will succumb to the temptation to dis-
pose of their planting stock.
Lakge onion set dealers report that
trade in this it<>m is heavy, with prices
steatlily advancing. March 1 delivery is
now quoted at $4.50 to $5 per bushel.
Alarm is felt over the temptation pres-
ent prices afford to sell stock seed. Onion
bulbs and beans, especially, are so high
that there is a disposition to dispose of
them instead of planting.
The recent freeze which extended
through the entire south was so severe
that even the special frost-proof cabbages,
which ordinarily withstand quite low tem-
peratures safely, were destroyed.
Du. David (Jriffith, of the V. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, recently made a
trip south and at Brunswick, Ga., is
quoted as stating that the soil and clinuite
of Glynn county are as good as Ollioules
for the production of narcissus ])ulbs.
Gladiolu.s bulbs have advanced in jirice
as a result of the German blockade and
the reluctance of tlie Holland-Anu'rica
line to sail its boats under existing condi-
tions. There are large <iuantities of
Dutch gladiolus l)ulbs that have been de-
jjended on to fill orders tliat may iiever
leave Holland.
The Aggeler & Musser Seed Co., IjOS
Angeles, in its litl7 catalogue, features
the. casaba tribe of melons. The back
cover sliows four varieties in colors anil
several jtages of tlic l)ook are devoted to
cuts, descriptions, cultural notes and hints
on shipping. The indications are that
the casabas soon will be an imjiortant
factor in the seed trade.
A 9-HOi'K day on a 10-liour pay is tlie
latest innovation ])y the Henry Field Seed
Co., of Shenandonh, la. The change
affects about 100 girl emjdoyees. "It is
more or less of an exiieriment that wo
have had in mind for some time," said
Mr. Field. "We think the girls can do
as much in nine hours as they did in
ten. ' ' The business is running much
heavier than it did at tliis time last year.
The ])ostagc bill for January was $14,000.

TOMATO SEED FOR YOUR 1917 CROP
Tou win get an enormous crop of Tomatoes from Bolglano's Tomato Seed this year.
Our Seed was saved from one of the largest crops we have ever had, due to being
favored by weather conditions. The vines were loaded with Large. Solid, Red Fruit
We know positively by planting Seed from this "Big Crop" your yield will be much
larger than If you had bought seed grown where the weather conditions were not
favorable.

KELWAY NOT OPTIMISTIC.

^•iew of the situation as reyai-ds seed
siii)i)ly for lids. He says:

MOTT-LY GLEANINGS.
W. C. Bockert, of Allegheny, Pa.,
oommeuting on the high prices quoted
on sweet corn, a jump from $8 to $15
per bushel for Stoweirs Kvergreen,_for
instance, sees grounds for si)eculation,
as much stock has been sold at the
lower figure and the retail selling hardly
begun. The quality is good and ger-
minates close to 100 per cent. There
also is considerable dickering in wax
and green pod beans. Mr. Beckert has
spent the last two winters in South
America, noting future prospects there
and being, as he says, away from the
crowded lanes of travel. Each time
the boat lie intended to return on was
internally disturbed by a bomb, so he
prefers to stay at home on tiie job for
the ])resent.
Walter C. Schell, of Ilarrisburg, Pa.,
exhibits a prize-winning sample of
Potato Irish Cobbler, from which he
has sold 500 bushels at $8 per bag of
slightly over two bushels. "The high-
est price in our experience," observed
W. C. Schell, "and, unfortunately, w^e
cannot get more of such just now, at
anv price. ' '
b. Carmichael, of the J. M. McCul-
lough's Sons Co., of Cincinnati, O.,
notes an increasing call for garden seeds
and believes that there will be a big
boost in planting as soon as the danger
of local floods passes. Grass seed is
moving well.
Davis & Fine, Inc., of Wilkes-Barre,
Pa., has the largest store in the
Wyoming valley devoted to seeds and
poultry supplies. ' ' Now, more than ever
before, one must be posted on the va-
rious ailments and the necessary reme-
dies relative to poultry, to make this
branch reallv profitable," said Mr. Fine.
B. E. & J. T. Cokely, of Scranton,
Pa., now speak of bushels instead of
packets. "Our seed business has
grown from a sprout to a full head,"
observed the hustling Bert Cokely. The
supply department is doing steady work.
G. R. Clark, of Scranton, can readily
use a larger store for his old-established
seed connection, but he has been at the
same location so long that he hates to
break away. W. M.

Sugar-beet seed of good quality and

would seem to lie only a matter of the
planting of j^reater acreaf^es in this

into account the economic side of heet
seed production nor the nossilii lity of

(diief reason for the dependence ef
America on the importation of seed in
the past was the low ])ricp at wlii(di the

The studies of plant specialists of the
Department of .Vj^riculture lead them
to believe that the (piality of beet seed
and of the cidps wliicdi such seed jiro-

tion and plant breedinji, and tliiit as a
result the cdst of production of seed in

Roman J. Irwin, New York, N'. Y. — "Florists'
Wholesale Catalogue of Plants. Cuttings. liulbs.
Choice Flower Seeds and Supplies," a neat, com-
pact, pocket-form book of thirty-six pages, illus-
trated. "Twent.v-seven years of practical ex-
perience," sn.vs Mr. Irwin, "enables me to know
where to get the best stock, for which I contract
with growers who specialize in the different
plants, there being few who can grow many
things well."
Gunn Seed Co., Lincoln, Neb. — A 32-page,
illustrated catalogue of seeds, roses, bulbs, orna-
mental shrubs, poultry supplies, tools and
sundries. Under the head of "Our Guarantee."
after giving assurance of the good quality of
the seeds, the compan.v adds concisely, "We do
not guarantee the crop in any way, because we
cannot plant your seed or control weather con-
ditions. This guarantee means just what it
says."
Martin Kohankie, Painesville, 0. — Wholesale
list of hardy perennials, pot plants, roses, shrubs
and vines; also seeds of perennials. The alpha-
betical list of perennials occupies the greater
part of tlie eight large pages. The first page is
embellished with a colored picture of the red
variety of Meehan's Mallow Marvel.
J. W. Jung Seed Co., Randolph, Wis. — "Jung's
Seed Annual," a 64-page catalogue, freely illus-
trated. The first fourteen pages are devoted to
specialties, chiefly in vegetables, wliich, says the
l>ook, "cannot fail to please o\ir customers." At
the end is a wholesale vegetable li^t for market
gardeners.
William P. Stark Nurseries, Stark City, Mo.—
"IIow to Beautify Your Home Orounds," a 48-
page book, with many illustrations and several
diagrams or plans. This is not a catalogue in
the ordinary sense of tlie word, since it contains
no prices but is packed with helpful suggestions.
"This booklet," says William P. Stark, the
author, "is for the home-maker. It is not a
complete textbook on landscape gardening, but
It does give the information necessar.v for
planting suitable trees and shrubs about the
home, and tells how to arrange and care for
them."
Wooster, O. — Philip Eice, who cares
for the James Mulling greenhouse, one
day last week placed some boards on
top of the furnace with the idea of dry-
ing them for kindling. The wood dried
all right; in fact, it dried too well and
became kindling before Mr. Kice in-
tended it to. In a short time several
brigades of firemen were on the prem-
ises, but there was more smoke than
blaze. Little damage was done.

dom grows for the amateur; it rather
discourages him. In many instances it
creates the impression that all roses of-
fered by nurseries or florists are of the
same poor quality, only much higher in
price. But then, we find that a paper
that makes this kind of offer is seldom
the one we would want for an adver-
tising medium; the paper probably is as
cheap as the roses it gives away.
Look at the nursery advertisements
in the leading farm papers. You will
find offers of twenty-five peach trees for
$1; twelve roses for $1; fifty peach and
fifty apple trees for $2. Do not these
nurserymen make about the same offer
to get trade as the farm paper does to
get subscribers? What is fair to one
ought to be fair to the other.
"We therefore hold that a paper has a
perfect right to offer trees or plants as
premiums in advertising subscriptions,
and any nurseryman who advertises
should not turn the paper down as an
advertising medium on account of this
alone. We certainly will not.
[Nurserymen who are willing to ad-
vertise in farm papers that give nursery
stock as premiums may be able to effect
an even exchange — surplus stock for
surplus space — they probably have
about equal value. — Ed.]
INDIANAPOLIS.
The Market.
The florists are unanimous in reporting
an exceptionally good St. A'alentine's
day business. The demand was excel-
lent and good prices prevailed. The sup-
ply of small flowers was exhausted, and
the hope is that wholesalers will make
better preparations for this day next
year, as the tradesmen are planning to
cooperate to make it a bigger day than
ever before. Next to the small flowers
in popularity were pot plants, these be-
ing azaleas, genistas, cinerarias, prim-
roses, cyclamens, hyai-inths, tulips, daf-
fodils, jonquils, etc.
The amount of funeral work at the
present time surpasses the records of
other years, the daily death toll being
enormous. The orders for flowers for
the sick also have been heavier. Carna-
tions, which have always been freely
used for this work, have been greatly
utilized, thus causing the supply to di-
minish and advancing prices to $2.50
to $5 per hundred. Lilies are scarcer
and bring $1.50 per dozen.
The rose market is about the same—
the supply none too ample. Bulbous
stock is popular and plentiful. In the
cut blooms jonquils are favorites, with
hyacinths in the lead in the potted va-
rieties. White and yellow narcissi are
receiving more attention and are selling
at $3 per hundred. In miscellaneous
stock yellow daisies and marguerites are
beginning to make their appearance.
As in other cities, southern greens are
extremely scarce here. Fern leaves are
of inferior quality. There is a limited

more red roses during the winter than any rose we have ever grown. It is not a large rose,

Do It Now!
Go over your Rose Houses carefully and estimate the plants you need
for replanting this Spring, and place your order. Roses are going to be
scarce. The Manetti situation is such that those who get it are fortunate, and the
demand is far greater than the limited supply. We have sold over 100,0(0 grafted
Roses in the last two weeks. We have 200.000 more to sell. There is considerable
building contemplated. "Changing from Carnations to Roses" is a frequent expla-
nation made when placing an order. If you are short at planting time it will be
your fault and not ours. The growing of grafted Roses is an industry in itself. At
Cromwell the large quantity of Roses grown for cut flowers makes it possible to get
scions that are first-class. We want your Rose Plant order, and wc want to be able
to say "yes" to your inquiry. Estimate your reauirements and write us.

The Florists^ Review
February 22, 1917.
KANSAS CITY, MO.
The Market.
St. Valentine's day business was far
ahead of that of any previous year. It
seems as though the public is tiring of
celebrating the day with stationery and
is starting on a large scale with cut
flowers and plants. Every florist reports
a large increase in sales. Pot plants of
all kinds seemed to take the lead. A
large quantity of bulb stock in pans was
moved. Novelties and baskets arranged
with tulips sold fast. Cut flowers were
scarce, but the demand was not so heavy
for them.
Business during the entire week was
good. The wholesalers were sold out
every day before time to close. The
shipping trade was good. Roses, as
usual, are still scarce and high in price,
and it is expected that this condition
will continue for two weeks. Some of
the local growers say their roses will be
ready by that time. Red roses are the
heaviest in demand and the scarcest.
Other colors are scarce, but the demand
for them does not seem to be so large.
The shorter lengths clean out first.
The supply of carnations has short-
ened considerably and these are held
at a higher price. Sweet peas are in
good supply, either long or short-
stemmed. Paper Whites are still plenti-
ful, but not so much in demand as for-
merly. Tulips, jonquils, daffodils and
hyacinths are now in full supply and
help out the shortage in other stock.
Various Notes.
Bryson Ayres, of Independence, was
operated on for appendicitis last week.
It is hoped that he will be completely
well in a short while.
The Rosery reports that its St. Valen-
tine's day business was exceptionally
large, greatly in excess of that of last
year. Corsages and table decorations
were numerous. Pot plants were the
leaders.
The Alpha Floral Co. has purchased
two new delivery cars. This concern is
paying dividends to its employees at
the end of each month. Last month,
January, the employees received $223.
A. F. Barbe reports the best Valen-
tine's day business ever done. He had
a large quantity of good pot plants.
The W. L. Rock Flower Co. reports a
heavy business for Valentine's day, pot
plants taking the lead. Baskets and
hampers of spring flowers sold well.
Samuel Murray had the largest St.
A'alentine 's day business in years. He
sold out in everything and did not have
enough pot plants to meet the demand.
In order to get all orders out he had to
call for an extra delivery car.
Arthur Newell 's business was thirty
per cent better than last year's. Fancy
novelties and baskets sold quickly. He
had a heavy run of funeral work during
the week.
The Kellogg Flower & Plant Co. sold
out completely. Cut stock has been
scarce with them, but they now are
bringing in large quantities of violets
and smilax. Arthur Lewis, of this firm,
was married last week.
W. J. Barnes had a good Valentine 's
day business. He sold all the rhododen-
drons he had in flower; also a large va-
riety of other blooming plants.
Adolph Mohr sold at wholesale prac-
tically every plant he had in bloom. He
has a nice lot of potted stock for Easter.

The Market.
St. Valentine's day was a busy one
for the florists. This flower day seems
to be setting better each year. There
was a speedy sale of sweet peas, Romans
and other dainty flowers, and the spe-
cial valentine boxes were in heavy de-
mand.
Koses and carnations now are not
overplentiful. The weatlier has beou
severe, as in most parts of the i-ountry,
causing the plants to grow slowly and to
flower slowly.
Various Notes.
Tlie Florists' Club members met at
Karl Zeidler's February 15 and enjoyed
themselves immensely. Theodore Kueb-
ler occu])ie(l the chair while Mr. Zeidlor,
the president, was busy with the huu-h
and refreshments. In a business way
there was little transacted. .Julius
Niednagol ])roposed that the clul) make
J. D. Cainiody, Evansville 's veteran flo-
rist, an honorary meml)er; the jirojiosal
was well received and the assent unani-
mous. Mr. Carmody, who is wintering
in Florida and in his eighties, is a
pioneer member of the S. A. F. He will
be remembered by most old-time florists
as an after-dinner speaker at florists'
conventions. Ernest Lutz, the Boonville
member, ])roposed Peter Morgen, of
Huntinghurg, as a member. Mr. Morgen
was duly elected. Julius Niednagel
talked of his experiences in greenhouses
and on private places from the time he
was about 14 years of age. After the
meeting luncheon was served by Mr.
Zeidler, and this was followed by a
trip through the greenhouses. The
next meeting will be at C. L. Xied-
nagel 's, March 14.
The Blackman Floral Co. is liaving a
fine cut of long-stemmed carnations of
excellent quality. Business continues
good at the store.
Julius Xiednagel & Sons are enjoying
excellent business, with just about
enougli flowers for the demand. Their
carnations are a little slow, but promise
large cuts later on.
J. C. Elspermann has not been well
lately. Mrs. Elsjierniann, tlie daughter
and the boys are kejit busy with funeral
work and getting tiie spring stock in
shape.
The Ideal Dirt Band Co. is receiving
many orders for square, wood dirt bands.
Many are repeat orders, some for large
amounts. E. L. F.

IMMEDIATE DELIVERY
<LWe are now booking orders for our new seedling Superb, $12.00 per 100,
$100.00 per 1000.
Superb is a seedling of Gloriosa and Enchantress. It has the good stem of Glori-
osa and the fine growing habit of Enchantress. The color is a flesh pink and it
keeps its color at all seasons. The flowersaverage about three inches, are very full
and generally receive full score on substance. The flowers are all perfect and do
, not split. In the four years we have grown it, it has proved the best commercial
variety, barring none.

The Market.
Tlie cxtroniely cold weather of last
week seems to have hit the territory
south of Wasliiustou to such an extent
as to .liave reduced materially the sup-
ply of Asparaf:;us ])lumosus, maidenhair
aiid other ferns. The pruc has not ad-
vanced, but orders are not bein<j; filled
in full. Tlic scarcity of roses continues,
and American Beauties last week
broujjht as liigli as $12 ]H'r dozen. Good
Ophelia and red roses are selling at
from $15 to $20 per hundred. Shawyer
and My Maryland bring $12 and $15,
with the shorter grades at f r-oni $8 up.
Carnations are a little more ])lentiful
than they have been. The sweet peas
coming into the market surpass any
heretofore seen and are in good demand.
The quality is evidenced by the fact
that one of the local florists sold
eighteen dozen almost as fast as re-
ceived at tiie ])reviously unheard-of
price of $1 per dozen.
Saint Valentine's day exceeded all
expectations. The sale of sweet peas
broke all records, but there was a glut
of double violets and since that day
they have been selling as low as $2 per
thousand. Violets are essentially a
flower for outdoor wear and when the
weather is cold they do not sell readily.
Another flower in heavy supply is Pur-
ity freesia. This is holding its own
with respect to sales, but the price has
dropi)ed from $4 to $2 per hundred.
The sale of calendulas has been dropping
off since daffodils have become more
plentiful. Tulips are more plentiful.
There is plenty of lilac, both cut and
potted, and this is meeting with a good
sale. The sale of potted baby prim-
roses is draggy. They were in good de-
mand when cut flowers were scarce, but
are now hanging fire.

ROCHELLE PAPER POTS AND BANDS
Our Square Paper Pots are the Original Im-
proved DOUBLE Hottom Square Paper Pots that
we have sold for FIVE YEARS.
They are by far tlie BEST POT on the market
today.
They arc made with one tack. No glue.
By ACTUAL TEST they can be made up MOUB
THAN TWICE AS FAST as a stamped out pot
can be folded, assembled and "locked."
They are made of the same new, tough paper
that lias made our Square Paper Pots and Square
Dirt Bands FAMOUS, after FIVE YEARS' TEST
by the U. S. Government, the Canadian Govern-
ment, International Expositions, large numbers
of State Agricultural Experiment Stations, City
Parks, Public Institutions and many thousands
of Superintendents, Florists and Truckers in all
parts of the country and Canada.
"Enclosed please find a postofflce money order,
for which please send us 10,000 3-in. Square Pa-
per Pots by freight to Yantic, Conn." Avery
Bros., Norwich Town, Conn.
(Avery Bros, got 5000 of our 3-in. Pots in 1913,
nOOO in 1914, 7000 In 1915, 10,000 in lyifi and
10,000 this year. They know the merits of our
Pots. )
"Kindly send us by express 20,000 Paper Pots,
Bize 3-in., for wliicli I inclose check." George
Foulshani, Supt., Lenox, Mass.
(Mr. Foulsliam orders our Paper Pots regularly
every year and says "We grow sweet peas and
all our annuals in them.")
"Send ))y freight 5000 3-in. Square Paper Pots,
8000 4-in. Square Paper Pots." G. E. Hunt,

CBEASED DIRT BANDS
1— Should a Dirt Band be CREASED and the
ENDS held togetlier until it is set in place? Yes.
OUR DIRT BANDS ARE CREASED and tlie
ENDS HELD TOGETHER.
NOT "LOCKED"
2 — Should the ends of Dirt Bands be
"LOCKED?" NO. Because "locking" does not
serve any purpose and is a serious detriment.
If the ends are "LOCKED" the band lias to be
TORN OFF when the plant is taken out.
After the bands are filled and watered tlie soil
settles tight against tlie insides and they cannot
be unlocked.
TEARING the ends of the bands apart will
break many of the "balls" or cubes of soil.
Get a "locked" band, lock it and try tearing
It apart.
Ours are made to SLIP APART easily, without
tearing, to let the plant out.
Our bands are made of the same special, tough
paper that has been PROVED 5 YEARS to be
liorfi'ct for the purpose.
They are tlie BEST Band on the market, but
also tlie CHEAPEST.
Mr. H. B. Weaver of Bird-in-IIand, Pa., grows
Carnations, Mignonettes, Sweet Peas and otlier
cut flowers. He says of our Dirt Bands: "I
believe any one using tliese bands will become a
regular customer."
(He got 5000 Dirt Bands in 1913, 60,000 in 1914,
70,000 in 1915, 50,000 in 1916 and has just or-
dered 60,000 for 1917.)
Mr. J. M. Gagcr, Willimantic, Conn., says:
"The crop from the plants raised in your Dirt
Bands PAID ME THE BEST of any crop of to-
matoes grown SINCE I HAVE BEEN IN THE
BUSINESS."
(Mr. Gager has just ordered 10,000 4-in. bands
for this year.)
Mr. Herbert W. Coulter, Avon, Mass., says:
"I am so well pleased with the Dirt Bands that
I DO NOT SEE HOW A .MARKET GARDENER
CAN AFFORD TO GROW PLANTS WITHOUT
THEM."
To sliow the wide use of our Pots and
Bands by Government, State, City and Public
Institutions we might say that while we are
writing this advertisement (Feb. 17th) one mail,
just opened, brought us orders from South Da-
kota Agricultural Experiment Station, Brookings,
S. D. (Tliey got 10,000 of our Paper Pots last
year and expect to use 20,000 tliis year) and
Board of Regents of Normal Schools, Whitewater,
Wis., and inquiries for prices from New York
State College of Agriculture at Cornell Univer-
sity and University of Micliigan, Ann Arbor.
We have probably sold 5 times as many of our
Square Paper Pots and Dirt Bands as all other
lirms put together.

LIMIT IN LENGTH OF PIPES.
How long a greenhouse can be heated
economically and efficiently with hot
water, the boiler to be in a pit eight
feet deep; that is, eight feet below the
surface of the ground? Can a house
300 feet long be heated successfully
with a hot w;iter i)lant ?
E. S. K.— X. D.
While we ]»refer to limit the length
of the returns in a gravity liot water
system to 2r)() feet, yet in tlie present
case, witli a distance of about nine feet
between the level of the returns and the
bottom of the cellar, we would not liesi-
tate to use coils 300 feet in length.
However, we would be exceedingly care-
ful not to overload the flow i)ipes, which
should be either 2M> or 3-inch. One
21^-inch or two 2-inch returns may be
used with each 2i^>-inch flow pipe, or
either three 2-inch or two 2%-inch re-
turns may be used with a 3-ineh flow
pipe.
In an extensive range of greenhouses,
and where electric power is available
for pumping the water, we would prefer
to put in an electric pump rather than
rely upon a gravity system in long
houses. In tliat case a 2-inch flow jiipe
would supply four l^'jinch returns.
Five flows, each supplying four returns,
would answer in a house 30x300 if a
pumping system is installed.

A RANGE OF SIX HOUSES.
Enclosoil is a rough sketch of my
^reen houses. Houses No. 1, 2, 3 and 4
form tlic jiiosent range. Houses No. 5
and 0 and the store are contemplated. I
am heating at ])rcsent with two hot
water boilers, located in different places.
I inteml to purchase new boilers and
set then; uji together in a cellar under
the new store 1 am ai'raid the distance
may be too great for effect i\e heating
with hot water: so I wish to ask your
heating exjiert to describe the best way
of heating the liouses with steam.
The houses are of modern construc-
tion, with concrete walls and with two
feet of glass in the sides. The present
exposure is about 10,000 square feet of
glass, but I wish to provide a heating
capacity for about 20,000 feet. Can
2-inch pipes be used to advantage for
return steam coils? How many feet of
radiation should the boiler have, to give
the best results? Will it be advisable
to raise the steam main to a height of
six feet above the walks, then follow
grade up to the far end of the house and
drop the pipe down to coils under the
benches! G. M.— N. J.
The sketch does not give the length of
the old range of houses, but we judge
it to be about ninety feet. Houses No.

I have been running a small green-

It has been heated by two brick fur-
naces, one at each end, connected with
10-inch tile lines running the length of
the house, under each outside bench.
These flues heated the house satisfac-
torily for my purpose, the growing of

in the spring, I put up an addition,
eight feet wide, the full length of the
original house, on the north side, not
expecting to need much, if any, arti-
ficial heat in the new room. However,
to make sure, last winter I built in a
coil of 2-inch pipes around one of the
brick furnaces and connected the coil
with one 1^-inch flow and three 1V4-
inch returns in the 8-foot addition, thus
installing a homemade hot water system
without a boiler.
This system works well, for the small
house, making it nearly or quite as warm
as the other. But I notice that for some
reason I have diflSculty at times in
heating the larger house sufficiently.

Fbbruauy 22, 1917.
water in the pipes reduces the lieat
available for the flues to heat the larger
house? Would there be any advantage
in running some pipes from the same fur-
nace through the larger house, to raise
the temperature there? As it is, I dare
not fire heavily or the water will boil,
giving trouble in that way. I could
easily heat the water in a large system
of pipes, but the question is, would that
really raise the temperature in the larger
house? Will you please give me some
enlightenment on this matter?
T. 11. S.— Pa.
The introduction of a coil into a hot
air furnace would naturally lessen to
some extent the heat given off by the
flue, and since, for the reason men-
tioned in the letter, it is not feasible to
fire as heavily as before the coil
was placed in the furnace, it is not
strange that it is not possible to keep
up as high a temperature in the large
house as before the coil was used.
It will be helpful in keeping up a
higher temperature in the large house
if a 11/^ -inch flow pipe is run about two
feet under the ridge and connected with
a li/^-inch return on each plate. This
should be connected with the coil now
in use and in this way it will not only
aid in securing a better distribution of
the heat, but will lessen the difficulty
from the boiling of the water, making it
possible to fire more heavily. Not much
benefit would be secured from placing
a coil in the other furnace.
MILWAUKEE.
The Market.
There has Ijeen little change in the
conditions of the market during the
last week. The weather has moderated
and it seems as though winter's back-
bone has been broken. There is plenty
of stock to take care of all orders, with
the possible exception of some grades of
roses. Russell and Ophelia are some-
what scarce, but the shortage is not at
all acute. Carnations are plentiful and
the stock is in good shape. There is no
great surplus, however, and the daily
cut is being disposed of at fairly good
prices. There was a large supply of
violets for St. Valentino's day, but
these were cleaned up readily.
Cattleyas wore in good demand and
as the supply was adequate the sales
were quite satisfactory. Sweet peas are
arriving in larger quantities and are
moving well. Spring stock is having
a good sale and the conditions are satis-
factory this year. There lias been an
exceptionally large sale on spring plants
and these have been moved in quantity
during the last week.
Indications are for a good Easter
trade, and, if we have an early spring,
this season should be one of the best
yet. The shortage of lilies which ob-
tained for the last few weeks is ended
and, while they are not overplentiful,
the supply is sufficiently large to take
care of the demand.

The Market.
The supply of stock in the market
has increased somewhat during the last
week, and as a result prices are not as
stiff as they were. The demand is steady.
While roses as yet are not plentiful,
the daily cuts have increased materially.
The carnation market is still light.
Enough Easter lilies to care for all pres-
ent wants are coming into the market.
Excellent daffodils, tulips and hyacinths
may be had. Other bulbous offerings
include narcissi and frcesias. Sweet
peas are plentiful and generally of ex-
cellent quality. Violets, valley, orchids,
callas and rubrum lilies are the main
items in the miscellaneous list. The sup-
ply of asparagus is rather short.

PITTSBURGH, PA.
The Market.
Stock has been coming in Avonderfully
well, considering the severely cold
weather that has prevailed. Roses and
carnations are increasing in supply.
Sweet peas and bulbous llowers of all
kinds are in abundance. Business has
been satisfactory, there having been a
clean-up practically every day.
The retailers report that the cold
spell cut down the sale of cut flowers,
but that there were enough decorative
orders to offset this somewhat.
The stores report only a fair St. Val-
entine's day business, the extremely
cold weather of the day acting as a
damper on the sales and, in some sec-
tions, causing a falling off from last
year's total. Violets were not nearly so
popular as those of any previous St.
Valentine 's day, when they really were
the principal flowers of the day. Stock
now is cleaned up each day at the whole-
sale houses.

The Market.
T^ast week saw another increase in
the volume of the bulbous stock. The
quality of tulips and jonquils is im-
jiroving. Sweet ]ieas also are better,
having long, strong stems and large
blooms. Carnations now are unusually
good and (|uite plentiful. White lilacs
are arriving in fair (juantities. Roses
are good and fairly abundant. The
price of roses keeps up well; in fact,
the same may be said of prices of flow-
ers in general, though there has been &
tendency toward lower prices since the
arrival of larger quantities of bulbous
flowers. Many of the growers are plan-
ning for a big supply of pot plants for
the spring trade, geraniums being grown
in extra large numbers.

Why not safeguard
yourself right now?
Buy the Magic Fer-

Take the word of hun-

The Market.
Tlio florists experipuced nn unusually
hojivv St. Valentino's day business this
year, many of the forces in the stores
working; late the night before and the
entire followinfr day filling orders.
Tliero Avorc also a number of large
dances and social affairs on the day,
and the demand for flowers for these
was heavy. Stock was plentiful in all
lines, with the exception of roses. These
were in extremely short supply, due to
the fact that many of the local grow-
ers were off crop. The continued dark
weather also caused a shortening up in
the rose supply. American Beauties
were idontiful, but the call for these
was not large. Violets sold better than
ever before and the prices hold up well.
Corsages were in exceedingly heavy de-
mand, looses, orchids, violets, sweet
jteas and sjiring flowers were the stock
most in demand for these. Orchids were
plentiful and sweet peas in good supply.
Potted plants sold on sight, especially
the Inilboiis stock. Eed roses were at
a premium. Carnations were only in
moderate supply, but the demand was
not largo. Good valley was scarce and
the prices were high. Tulips, freesias,
snapdragons, jonquils, daffodils, primu-
las, forgot-me-nots, sweet alyssums,
narcissi and primulas made up the va-
riety of spring flowers.
Deliveries were diHicult on account
of the exfremo cold, which did not seem
to affect the demand.
The weather has moderated consid-
erably within the last few days, but
there is little sunshine and stock is not
any too plentiful. Funeral work and
decorations for receptions and parties
make the heaviest demands on the
Sll]ipl\'.

"With a tremendous business, well dis-
tributed, St. Valentine's day gave the
local market a decided impetus that
gladdened the hearts of llorists not-
withstanding that tliey were unable to
olitain all the red roses and red carna-
tions tlioy desired. Violets and sweet
peas, however, served to fill out. The
abundance of bulbous stock has lifted
tiie strain on other cut flowers and sent
the prices tumbling. Funeral work con-
tinues to be brisk and several florists re-
port almost record-l)reaking numbers of
designs made up daily.

labors, still we base our claims for your
consideration upon our ability to erect the
right kind of a greenhouse, in the right
manner, at the right price.

of Clarlisvllle, Tenn.:
" My violets this season nerer suf-
fered In the least from the drought,
and now occasionally I remove the
glass and lot them have a sprinkle.
I am never l)othered with red spider.
I ol)tain my water supply from a
large spring on my place. I grew a
very fine crop of asters this past
season by the help of the watering
system. I will close, but have not said
more than half I would lliie to,"

—the building of a greenhouse such as the AGMCO is a problem
in mechanics just as surely as the construction of a compound
locomotive, a suspension bridge, a battleship or a sky-scraper.
Every little part used in the construction of an AGMCO supergreen-
house has been designed by an expert with an eye to the part it would
later play in the completed structure. Every part is tested for its
particular function before being placed in the structure.
—and the completed house? Science ag^ain— steel
cold science— the most exact science in the w^orld—
mathematics. And mathematics says, '*The whole
is equal to all its parts taken together." In other
words, if the PARTS are PERFJECT, the DESIGN
PERFECT, the WORK PERFECT, the WHOLE,
which is EQUAL to the SUM of ALL THESE
PARTS, will also be PERFECT. In the AGMCO
the parts, the design, the work are as perfect as
science, an intimate knowledge of the growing
business and intense application can make them.
Science rules the universe— we live by science, die by science, make
war by science— grow flowers by science and— if you are to succeed
in a large way— you must have greenhouses built by science.
That means a supergreenhouse and— if it isn't an AGMCO it isn't a supergreenhouse.
The highest priced and the cheapest greenhouse.

COLD WEATHER
Geo. Valker's Range at Nlnot, N. D.
Last summer we built some greenhouses, a large
brick service buildiug and installed two power boilers
and complete vacuum heating system for Mr. George
Valker, at Minot. N. D.
Today, right in the midst of a "below-zero" spell
of weather, Mr. Valker paid us a visit, wearing his
usual bright smile.
Naturally during this cold weather, whdn a great
many florists are having trouble with their heating
systems, we asked Mr. Valker if he wasn't a bit wor-
ried about his greenhouses.
"Not in the least," was his instant reply. "The
heating system has given such perfect satisfaction that,
although we have bad the thermometer as low as 35"
below zero, we had no difficulty at all in maintaining
our temperature."
Just give us a chance on your greenhouse problems;
you will nox be disappointed.

Gentlemen : With reference to your letter of
December 14. would say that we have used at
leatt four different ventilators with little sat-
isfaction: yours, however, has proved an ex-
ception. We are exceedingly well pleased with
it. We have never seen anything in this line
as satisfactory as the double-arm feature.
Yours truly.

Gentlemen : With great satisfaction we have
used, for many years, your ventilating ma-
chines at our greenhouses. Your double-acting
20th Century Arm is a great success. We like
it better than anything we have on the place.
Respectfully yours.

The Florists^ Review
Mauch 1, 1917.
The reason these houses are seeminsrly on such a peculiar anele, is because they were taken from the top of the oraneery with
an extremely wide anele lens, which, as is generally the case, distorted them a bit.
This delicrhtful cottasre is the happy home of Mr. Head.
Glimpses on the J. Ogden Armour Estate near Chicago
Thos. Head, Superintendent.
IT is generally acknowledged
that the Armour Estate, at
Lake Forest, is one of the
finest in the middle west.
Others may be larg-er, but none
are planned with greater care or
finer taste.
In spite of its comparative new-
ness, it gives you an impression
of long establishment.
The formal garden, with its ex-
tensive pools, rare planting and
choice sculpture, transports you
to sunny Italy.

To the fine range of curved
eave houses already erect 3d, we
were last year asked to add the
two large ones on either side of
the workroom. One is for fruit,
the other flowers. Both are
equipped with continuous side
ventilation, the lack of which was
often found somewhat of a disad-
vantage in the other houses.
Thomas Head, well known in
the East, is, with his customary
ability, filling the position of
superintendent.

I DORNER'S NOVELTIES for 1917 |
I NEW CARNATIONS I
S ROSALIA — Cerise pink, large three and one-half inch flower of a true cerise pink color. Form is per- S
5 feet. Calyx strong, never bursting. Stem is at all times strong and wiry. The growth is far 5
s above the average when we consider vigor, health and early and free flowering qualities. =
S ROSALIA is a decided improvement on ROSETTE, having a better color and a better commercial =
S habit. 5
E OLD GOLD — We offer this as the earliest and most free flowering yellow carnation we have yet pro- E
5 duced. A decided improvement over YELLOW PRINCE, being of a stronger growth, is perfectly E
S clean and healthy, produces larger stems and more bloom. The color is a deep yellow with faint E
E pink stripes. E
I The above two varieties, Price: $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000 =
I NEW LATE CHRYSANTHEMUM |
5 FALL BEAUTY — A large Japanese reflex of a pleasing pink color with a shading of deep cream to =
S the base of the petals and center of the flower. Has an extra strong stem, is especially fine for S
S Thanksgiving, maturing November 25th to December 10th. The color, combined with its being so E
= late and its extra keeping qualities, makes it of especial commercial value. E

LOUISA POCKETT
is the name of a
New Chrysanthemum
that is announced by its raiser,
Mr. Pockett, as being
Superior in Every Way to Wm. Turner
of which it is a seedling. Since he raised both
varieties, we may safely take his word for it.
Louisa Pockett is larger than Turner; a better
shape and as strong a grower as Marigold. We
have 3000 plants ready for immediate delivery
from 2 >^ -inch pots, which if set out in the benches
now will make ideal stock plants to propagate
from. You must eventually have this variety —
why not buy it now ?
Also: .Nag-ir-roc, W. H. Waite, Bol d'Or and

VIM Delivery Car Solves
Florist's Delivery Problem
I have found my VIM Delivery Car very satisfactory. It is low on gasoline
consumption and is dointf the work of two or three teams; I have found it an
economy, particularly at times when my equipment is idle. I then have one ma-
chine using up nothing, instead of two or three teams consuming feed and
requiring care. Yours truly,
Charles B. Stahl.
MR. STAHL'S experience, like
the many other florists who
are using the VIM Delivery
Car in their business, is typical of
VIM economy.
For the florist there can be no
question but that the VIM is the right
delivery car. It is built for its work.
It will deliver cheaply a rush order of cut
flowers or truck a thousand pounds of
potted plants.
The VIM is fundamental — built solely
for delivery work.
The VIM is easy on tires and economical
in gasoline consumption. It has capacity
and" distance. It keeps delivery costs
down where they belong.
The VIM will stay on the job delivering
every working hour of the day and keep
out of the repair shop. Last year the
converted pleasure car cost the merchants
of this country over $10,000,000 for re-
pair bills alone.
You ought to know the VIM Delivery
Car and the VIM Deferred Payment
Plan. You use your VIM Car while you
are paying for it out of the money VIM
Delivery saves from the cost of your pres-
ent delivery methods.
Tell the VIM Dealer in your community
to show you.
This is the most efficient chassis for
its work in the \%orld— price is $645.
Fitted with any one of twelve types
of body- handsomely designed and

WILL FOOD FAMINE
AFFECT FLOWERS?
The prices of food form the staple topic of conversation in the United
States, for even the well-to-do find many so-called necessities of life beyond
easy reach. Florists fear the mounting cost of food can go no farther with-
out affecting the demand for flowers.
OW far can the price of
M potatoes go before it cuts
down the demand for daf-
fodils? It is the question
the men of the trade are
asking each other, at flo-
rists' clubs and at chance
meetings, for the impres-
sion is general that the re-
cent sensational rise in the
cost of food is prejudicial to the inter-
ests oi those wlio deal in less necessary
things. The fact is ignored that the
florists' business always has been best
while prices elsewhere were soaring.
"With potatoes at 6 cents a pound,
cabbage at 12 cents and onions at 18
cents," said a retailer in a factory sec-
tion, "my people will have nothing left
with which to buy flowers." But he
forgot the fact that all the workers in
his section are employed, for about the
first time on record, and that the earn-
ings per household are the highest ever
known.
The flower business never has been
hurt by high prices for other things- —
somebody gets the money and that some-
body is almost sare to spend part of it
for flowers.
True, present conditions
in the Ujiited States are
without parallel. Price
levels are higher than the
present generation ever
has known. Mr. Lugu-
brious Blue asserts with
truth that the cost of liv-
ing never was so high as
now, but Mr. Smiley Glad
florist's ability to so manage his affairs
that he is able to retain a profit.
What if potatoes are nearly a dollar
a peck? Does the dollar disappear from
the face of the earth! No; only the
potatoes! The dollar merely changes
from one man's hand to another's. And
if there be a little better than the usual
profit for the seller, so much the better
for the florist whose door is handy to
tlie spender of easy money.
Deflation Is What We Fear.
No. The trade need not be alarmed
by rising prices. So long as inflation is
in progress there will be brisk demand
for flowers. Dull times for us will come
with deflation — when our erstwhile free
spending customer is loaded up with a
lot of high priced merchandise and the
market is crumbling beneath his feet;
when the family that now has father,
two sons and a daughter all contributing
to the exchequer becomes dependent
on the earnings of one son and the
daughter. Then will come the time Old
Man Worry will displace some of the
people now around us.
In the meantime we should practice
points out with equal as-
.surance that never before
have so many people lived
so high.
Active Money Helps.
High prices should be
no bugbear to the florist
who has it in him to keep
the pace. Dull times for
our trade always have
come with periods of de-
flation elsewhere, never
with times of inflation. It
has been demonstrated
over and over again that
when money changes
hands with celerity our
trade can rely on handling
a portion of it, a portion
that grows greater or less
as general business activ-
ity rises or falls.
It then merely is a
question of the individual
Food costs are steadily rising, as indicated in price quota-
tions gathered by a Chicago newspaper, used here as indicative
of conditions in America's greatest food center. And the end
is not in sight, according to forecasts of dealers. The figures
(juoted below show advances of twenty-five to 100 per cent
over prices prevailing thirty days ago:
Potatoes, per peck 80
Butter, per pound 45
Eggs, per dozen 45
Roundsteak, per poiind 22
Veal, per pound 28
Pork chops, per pound 22
Bacon, per pound 32
Ham, per pound 24
Lard, per pound 22
Sugar, per pound 7V2
Tomatoes, canned 13
Com, cajined 15
Peas, canned 12
Cabbage, per pound 10
Onions, per pound 12
Cornmeal, per pound 4
Hominy, per pound 12
Navy beans, per pound 12
Flour, 100 pounds $5.00 to $6.00
the old precept and make hay while
the sun shines. The opportunities never
were better than now. Consider that
the high prices of food and most other
articles are caused by the fact that de-
mand is greater than the supply — but
there is no shortage of cut flowers or
spring plants 1 Indeed, there are plain
indications that the first few days of
spring weather, due any time now, will
bring on the market perhaps the largest
supply of cut flowers the trade ever has
been called on to merchandise. We are
not handicapped as many others are:
We have plenty to sell; we can sup-
ply anything wanted in our line, in any
quantity and at reasonable prices, in
fact at prices that are distinctly low
when compared with the prices asked in
other trades.
Under the circumstances this is a
time for florists as a class to be of good
cheer. The long, hard winter is over
and the season of largest demand is
here. It will be larger than ever this
year, helped rather than hindered bv
high prices in other trades. It is a
time for all florists to hustle to turn the
heavy spring crops into cash.
But it is no time to cut
prices.
Hold Up Prices.
Costs this season have
been much higher than
usual. Now is the time
to get the money back.
Charge more, rather than
less than last year. The
public is used to it.
Scarcely anyone will ob-
ject if you are reason-
able. Make the sales ef-
fort in the line of better
display, more newspaper
advertising, frequent di-
rect appeal to regular cus-
tomers, personal sales-
manship in the case of
hotels, restaurants, insti-
tutions and neighboring
stores. Push, but don't
cut prices. We must ask
for- what we want or we
stand no chance of get-
ting it.
And don't for a moment
let any florist relax his
effort because of high
prices in other lines —
when money is changing
hands rapidly is our best
time to catch our share of
it. It's purel.r an indi-

PBIMROSE POISONING.
As a cure for primula poisoning the
following has been found successful:
Dissolve 10 cents' worth of camphor
gum in one pint of gasoline. Rub the
mixture on the affocted parts after han-
dling primroses and before putting the
liands in water. Another application
before retiring also is helpful. And,
gentlemen, be careful that you do not
light your j)ipes while bathing in this
solution! K. \\. TcMuperley.

MUFFS FLOWER-TRIMMED,
Muffs made of delicate materials and
trimmed with cut flowers are being car-
ried by guests at the balls given by
fashionable skating clubs in New York
city. The one shown in the illustration
was designed and produced by Max
Schling. Excoi)tionally good taste has
been used in the application of the flow
ers to the muff here shown. It will be
seen that a sense of proportion has been
observed, the roses on the muff proper
being confined to a few stems woven to-
gether, with single blooms attached on
the top and sides ;ind to the riblton
streamers.
In sending tlie photograph, Mr.
Schling says that tliese muffs are popu-
lar, not only for skating parties, but
also j)ractical for weddings. Their sim-
plicity and artistic appearance will un-
doubtedly create a demand for muffs of
this descr)i)tion throughout the country.
"IT PULLS LIKE FORTY."
Z. 1). Blackistone, the Washington re-
tailer, always has been a believer in the
saying that "any advertising is better
than no advertising" and he recently
has been converted to the theory that
"some advertising is a great deal bet-
ter than other advertising." It came
about like this: Mr. Blackistone 's
method of adxertising had been to tell
about the quality of his stock, tiie speed
and precision of his service and the con-
venience of his location, but he had not
said much about his prices. Still, re-
sults were goo<l. Then, just by way of
a change, he used about ten inches of
space in a well read paper to show a
cut inscribed "This is the handsome
Blackistone spray at $2." with some
other "Flower specials for this week:
Roses, $1.50 dozen up; double violets.
50c bunch; jonquils, 75c dozen; selected
carnations, $1 dozen; sweet peas, 50c and
75c bunch; seasonable potted plants,
75c. ' ' Of course it was well displayed
and, although florists will appreciate
that the prices were not low for the
week after St. Valentine's day, "it is
pulling business like forty" is the way
Mr. Hlni-kistone puts it.
HAVE YOU HEARD FROM HIM?
Several florists are interested in the
fortunes of one H. R. Conklin, whose
most recent headquarters appear to have
been at Atlanta, Ga. It is alleged that
Mr. Conklin worked harder to secure
merchandise for which he was not re-
quired to pay on delivery, and to sell it
if he couM not use it, than would have
been necessary to make a good living
by the ordinary nu'aus. The jtostoffice
ins])ectors appear to have (diecked his
operations through l)ringing him before
the I'nited States C'onunissiouer at At-
lanta on a charge of fraudulent use of
the juails. Max Schling, in New York,
as recently as January '_'S received a
letter from Conklin as follows:
I Mill '111 :iv(ii-iiit' til fiiriii-ilL Mi-s. Conklin at
this address witlf two ilnzcii .Viiicriciiii Ik'aiit.v
roses twice weekly, on Tuesday and Friday of
eaeh week. These to be of the best quality and
extremely long stems.
I am unable to obtain anything satisfactory
in this vicinity and if possible you could supplv
same directly from New York, and that shipment
can be made in such manner that they will
reach here In first-class condition.
If it is possible for you to do so you may malie
shipment as above and continue until further
notice.
It is possible that tlieso might be obtained in
some eastern city nearer here than New York
where tliere would he better facilities for de-
livery. If this be true you may supply in this
manner, but I must insist that they be extremely
Kood and those obtainable here are not.
The communication and proposition
did not look business-like to Mr. Schling
and he did not accept the order. As re-
])orted in an Atlanta paper, Conklin 's
scheme, according to the government,
was to trade under a name similar to
that of some important concern, hoping
that when he ordered goods the shipper
would confuse the name of Conklin 's
concern Avith the real one. According
to the postoffice inspectors Conklin 's
orders ranged all the way from portable
houses to carbon paper, but he special-
ized on automobile goods.
H. P. Knoble, of Knoble Bros., Cleve-
land, O., states that he filled H. R. Conk-
lin orders to the extent of $90, which
has thus far proved uncoUectable, and
lie understands other florists, including
the C. A. Dahl Co., of Atlanta, have had
a similar experience.
THE LARGEST ORDER.
In a recent issue of The Review an
illustration was shown of a design rep-
lesenting a value of $100, ordered of
James Hayes, of Topeka, Kan., by tele-
graph because of his card in the Tele-
graph Delivery Department of The Re-
view. It was cited as the record order.
But here is another:
I read with much interest the acoiitit of tlie
onlor sent to Mr. Hayes, of Topeka. bv telegraph
and note it was said to be the recnnl order so far
as heard from. It may interest The Review and
its readers to know that I sent an order by wire
to A. E. Fancher, of Uingharatoii, N. V., amount-
ing to $100. This was a simple order, liowever,
<ompared to the one Mr. Hayes received, as it
consisted of three separate standard pieces, a
lilanket and two wreaths. I think it would l)e
interesting to hear from other florists wlio have
sent or received larger orders tliaii these, and
to find out who really lias sent and received the
record telegraph delivery order up to this date.
William 0. llloeckner.
The feature of the record Srder re-
ceived by Mr. Hayes was not so much
the size and value of the design as it
was the unusual and complicated charac-
ter of the piece demanded on short no-
tice. Any retailer will agree that an
order for a special design never made
before would be much "larger" than
an order for a standard design costing
the same money. What was the largest
order you ever sent or received by mail
or wire? The editor will be glad to hear
about it.

MAKING THE STORE ATTRACTIVE.
That a beautiful store is a great help
in selling flowers is thoroughly appre-
ciated by John Mangel, the Palmer
House florist, Cliicago, and he is tire-
less in his effort to achieve his ideal
of a retail establishment. Not only
should the store be of the greatest
beauty, but there should always be some-
thing new to attract customers' atten-
tion, he says.
The illustration on page 13 shows
the conservatory at the rear of liis store
at 17 East Monroe street, which indi-
cates clearly how Mr. Mangel carries out
his polic.v. The column of spray in the
center is produced by one. of the Randall
changeable-light, self-contained, elec-
tric fountains.

A BLUE BIBBON WREATH.
The accompanying illustration of a
funeral piece ftnds print not because
there is anything unusual in the
wreath's design or get-up, but because
it depicts a high order of workmanship
on the part of the designer. The
wreath was made by the Duluth Floral
Co., which operates the "Flower Store
of Service Combined with Quality," at
121 West Superior street, Duluth, Miiui.
CHARGE SLIPS VALUABLE.
Their Loss Serious to Florists.
One of the cleverest little business
sermons consists of two pictures. One
picture shows ;i bill hook on which hangs
a lot of 5-dollar and 10-dollar bills, witli
tlie wording under it:
Yon uiiuldii t lake r.iio of joiir niono.v in this
way.
The other picture shows a similar
bill liook hung full of charge and
V. {). I), bills. Under it is the legend:
Wliy do joii lifi'p voiir valiiabU? tluirKL' rooonls
11 ki- tliisV
The more you think of tliese pictures
the more you recognize the truth of the
sermon preached.
Inventive genius has provided modern
means for safeguarding a merchant 's
coin and currency, even to the point of
recording each transaction of each clerk
who lias access to the casli register.
But, until now, the leaks that come
from carelessness in handling charge ac-
counts have not been adequately pro-
vided against.
A charge slip for $10 against a cus
tomer is worth $10, because if the evi-
dence of indebtedness is lost, the chances
are that the money will be lost.
Yet florists usually are woefully care-
less with their charge business.
Why is it that, of two florists with ap-
parently equal prospects of success and
equally equi{)ped with brains and busi-
ness experience, one builds up a good
bn«!iness and makes money while the
other, after struggling along for months
or maybe years, fails T
Experience supplies the answer, that
in almost every case where an honest,
experienced, industrious florist fails it is
because he robs himself of his profits
tlirougb lax methods of handling his
charge accounts. Indeed, it is almost
axiomatic that any merchant, to prosper,
must be careful with his credit business.
Careless Dealers Fail.
A nierchajit in a western town wlio
was reputed wealthy suddenly failed,
and when the receivers went through hi.s
books they found $8;"j,000 of worthless
accounts which the merchant had been
carrying as good and collectable.
These losses liad two principal causes:
Credit risks tliat were bad from the
s^art, and risks that may have been good
originally but were allowed to lie so
long that they became uncollectable for
various reasons.
How mucli more that merchant lost by
forgetting to charge altogether, nobody
will e\er know.
And no one will ever arrive at even
an approximate estimate of what it cost
hi:n to keep his charge slips on spindles
on an open desk, where they could be
tam.pered with or destroyed either by
debtor customers or tempted clerks.
Credit File on Market.
Tlie subject is broiiglit up by the ap- ■
Wreath of Orchids and Valley, by the Duluth Floral Co., Duluth, Minn.
jiear.'ince on the market of a new device
called a credit file, designed to remedy
these conditions. It is worthy of con-
sideration because it is offered by the
manufacturer of the cash register used
in abnost every flower store, the general
adojition of which by the merchants of
AnuM-ica has done more than any other
one thing to conserve their money. This
new credit file is designed to take the
]>lace of both a day ])(u>k and ledger, and
the only "posting" that is done is the
writing of the charge sli]., of which the
customer gets the carbon coi>y, and the
filing of the original copy in this unique
device.
The file is divided into two compart-
:tients, an open one in front, and, back
of that, a locked comjirirtment with a
plate glass top.
The act of pulling forward the vertical
guides in the front compartment does
three things:
It rings a bell. It registers a serial
number. It opens the corresponding
guidec in the locked file so that the clerk
( an look through the glass top and see
th" j.revious charge slip of the customer,
which is filed in such a way that the
name and the total amount of indebted-
ness are fxposed.
The clerk files the original sales slip

The Store Staff of Grimm & Gorly, Retailers, at St. Louis, Mo.
under the cuptoinere name in the front
or daybook compartment, and each
night the proprietor or his delegated au-
thority unlocks the glass-covered rear
compartment and transfers the daily
charges to the p;oper locations in the
pernianent, or "Ituger" file.
Aids Credit Man.
The information locked under glass
serves two j.urposes: First, a private
mark, made by the proprietor or credit
man, may tell the clerk that no further
credit should be extended to that cus-
tomer without his personal O. K.
Second, the clerk enters on the cus-
tomer's bill the amount carried forward
plus the amount of the customer's cur-
rent purchase, the customer being
handed the duplicate sales slip embodj'-
ing this information.
It may be said, in passing, that this
act of reminding the customer of his
full indebtedness each time he makes a
purchase is calculated to prevent dis-
putes and to speed up liberal payments
on account.
But the major function of this new
credit-file is to compel the filing of all
charges and C. O. D. slips in a safe
place where they cannot be mislaid,
altered or destroyed.
Equally important is the fact that
this file shows the proprietor of any
business in a graphic way, each evening,
exactly the extent and condition of his
credit business.
Fifty per cent of the florists who fail,
fail through extending more credit than
their capital warrants.
They are blindly ignorant of the fact
that far too many of their charge cus-
tomers are not worthy of the credit ex-
tended. Careless habits of bookkeeping
and filing are fatal to any business.
It is true, also, that most merchants
get into deep water because they don 't
realize how much outstanding credit
business they have upon their books
until it is too late to save themselves.
This new credit file not only tells them
the general condition of their credit
business but the actual status of each
charge or C. O. D. account, as well as
the amounts paid on account each day
bj each customer.
THE GEIMM & aORLY STAFF.
The skceompanying illustration was
made in the workroom of Grimm & Gorly,
St. Louis, and the group includes the
store staff, all but the employees in the
packing room and the delivery boys. The
size of the force will give an idea of the
volume of business necessary to keep so
many people busy.

["The Dahlia — a Practical Treatise on Its
Habits, Characteristics, Cultiyation and History,"
by Lawrence K. Peacock. Fifth edition. Pub-
lished by Peacock Dahlia Farms, Berlin, N. 3.
Size, about 8x10% inches; eighty pages, fully il-
lustrated. Price, in paper cover, 50 cents.]
Although this book may have been in-
tended principally or primarily for the
use of amateurs, yet it can scarcely be
amateurish in any objectionable sense
of the word, since the author's long ex-
perience in the trade should be an as-
surance of the practical nature of his
opinions. Moreover, by the time he
gets halfway through the book he has
passed beyond the rudiments of the sub-
ject and is addressing himself directly
to the oommercial growers. The fact
that the needs of the amateurs receive
full consideration is probably an advan-
tage, tending to prevent the omission
of any of the important elementary prin-
ciples. At the end of the book is a
' * select list of varieties, ' ' carefully clas-
sified and briefly described.
WHEN LILIES FREEZE.
My lilies were frozen recently, but I
think some of them could be saved. As
I have a great many, I woul^ like to
separate the good from the bad, and use
the space. Some of them are in bloom.
Can these be moved without injury?
Also, can those not in bloom be safely
moved to another house?
M. C. M.— Mich.
I am afraid that if your lilies were
really frozen they will not amount to
much. The foliage may remain green,
but the buds are likely to be killed.
You can move the plants you wish to
keep into another house. You will soon
be able to find out whether the buds
AMARYLLIS CULTURE.
I am starting some amaryllis bulbs.
They now are dormant and I wish to
bring them into flower as soon as possi-
ble. Please inform me as to soil, heat
and watering, and length of time before
they will show buds. E. W. P.— 111.
Use a mixture of fibrous loam, three
parts; old, dried cow manure, one part,
and some sharp sand. Give the bed
good drainage. Place the bulbs in a
temperature of 60 to 62 degrees at night.
Give them a watering after potting and
then run them on the dry side. Flower
spikes will show within a week or two
and flowers will be open within
a month from the time the spikes appear.
Established plants in tubs give much
finer spikes than can be had from dry
bulbs. C. W.
NEW TERMS AND DISCOUNTS.
For Agents in Smaller Towns.
A letter has been sent to the florists
throughout Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and
Missouri, in accordance with the plan
adopted at the meeting in Lincoln some
time ago. About 200 copies of the let-
ter have been sent out and every report
that has been received up to date is fa-
vorable and a great many are now oper-
ating under these new terms and dis-
counts. A committee intends to follow
up this campaign and do everything pos-
sible to get the trade to adopt this plan
for agents in smaller towns.
The commissions allowed by different
florists to their agents seem to have
varied from twenty to forty per cent. It
can be readily understood that no florist
can do a legitimate business and give
his customers value if he allows such
large commissions, especially under the
present conditions of increased expenses.
We, the members of the committee re-
ferred to, certainly feel that it is short-
sighted for florists to continue giving
such large discounts and lose so much in
their profits, for they can certainly ob-
tain business on other arguments, of
quality and service rather than dis-
counts.
It seems that a great many florists are
extremely negligent in their methods of
handling their terms and some do not
got out their statements until the mid-
dle of the month. We, therefore, would
like to have The Review help get the
new discounts universally established
and do everything possible to get the
florists to enforce their terms more rig-
idly. Any assistance or suggestions will
be greatly appreciated.

that was sent, as stated, to the florists of
four states:
Gentlemen: At a joint meeting of the Ne-
braska, Iowa and Kansas florists, held at Lin-
coln a few weeks ago, there was quite a discus-
sion regarding the Increased expense Items and
costs. Since the selling prices of flowers have
remained practically the same for the last sev-
eral years, it is necessary that some changes be
made in most of our businesses to meet these
abnormal conditions.
It was therefore decided to establish more uni-
form discounts and definite terms of credit on
shipments to agents.
A committee was appointed and, after careful
thought, the committee recommends the plan as
outlined on the enclosed notice. We know that
every florist is interested in making a fair, legiti-
mate profit and we should like to have you con-
sider and adopt the plan as specified.
Any questions on the subject will be gladly
answered and the committee will coSperate with
all the members of the trade and assist them to
get the system established at once. Please let
us know when you will start.

The Proposed New Terms.
The notice that accompanied the letter
to the florists was as follows:
Jan. 30, 1917.
The general increase In the cost of all mate-
rials used In our business makes it necessary for
us to change our discounts and terms. The aver-
age prices of cut flowers at the different seasons
are remaining practically the same, and, rather
than increase these prices in proportion, we rec-
ommend this new plan:
Commencing February 1, all shipments will be
billed at list prices, subject to the following uni-
form terms and discounts to all agents:
Bills are due the first of each month following
purchases.
Twenty per cent commission will be allowed for
payment on or before the tenth day of the
month.
Only ten per cent commission allowed for pay-
ment after the tenth day of the month.
No commission allowed on bills unpaid by sixty
days from date of invoice.
Discount will not show on Invoices; the proper
amount Is to be deducted at time of remittance.
In order to continue our standing of high quality
and eflScient service, it will be necessary that
the terms be strictly observed and payment made
promptly.
This is the amount of discount adopted by the
National Florists' Telegraph Delivery Associa-
tion for transactions between themselves and we
are hereby placing you on the same basis as a
florist who always carries a stock on hand.
Telephone and prepaid express charges cannot
be allowed. They should be paid by your customers
and not deducted out of your commission, as
some do. Packing charges will be added to all
Invoices for plants and also on shipments of cut
flowers requesting packing In separate Iwxes.
Please do what you can to help Increase the
sales in your territory, for there is not an easier
profit, especially since there Is no Investment to
carry.
Roy F. Wilcox, Chairman.

BUSINESS EMBARRASSMENTS.
Seattle, Wash. — It is reported that
Rosaia Bros., Inc., have been forced into
bankruptcy as the result -of a damage
suit said to have been brought against
them for personal injuries. It is believed
by L. Ghilarduin, of Taconia, who is
soliciting power of attorney to act for
other creditors, that with proper
handling by the trustee "we will come
out all right."

FRED H. WEBER.
FRED H. WEBER is the newly elected president of the St. Louis Retail Florists'
Association, having been chosen for that position at the annual meeting held
February 19. Mr. Weber takes up the duties of president with a ripe experience in
florists' organizations. He has served as vice-president of the S. A. F. for Missouri
and has long been active in the St. Louis associaton. Mr. Weber was born in Ger-
many in 1875, and came to St. Louis fifteen years later. There he entered the
employ of his uncle, Fred C. Weber, with whom he remained until 1903, when he
established the business which bears his name. Through Mr. Weber's activities
in the affairs of the S. A. F. he is well known to the florists of the country.

FORMOSA LILIES.
We are having disappointing results
from our Formosa lilies. The plants de-
velop well and look healthy, but when
the buds form they do not open white,

age, not forming the lily at all. Fully
one-third of our bulb shipment turned

formation that will help us?

and not open at all. The same trouble
sometimes occurs on a portion of the
plants although an even and suitable
temperature has been given them. This
is due, not to wrong treatment, but to
the bulbs having been dug and shipped
in an immature state. Such bulbs near-
ly always throw diseased growths or
malformed flowers, and no treatment
you can give them will overcome this.
Tf all lily hulbs were ripe when dug we
would have less disease. C. W.

way if they have had a check. For
instance, if you have been growing

ments that in this section of Ohio the

Trailing Plants.
Seeds of such plants as thunbergias,
Maurandia Barclaiana, Lobelia speciosa,
Linaria Cymbalaria and Lophospermum
scandens should now be sown in a warm
house. Sow them thinly and pot off
before the seedlings become crowded.
The lobelias take a longer season than
the others, but there still is time to se-
cure plants of a suitable size. Senccio
scandens, or German ivy, is another
plant which should be propagated now,
while that easily grown jjlant, Trades-
cantia zebrina multicolor, as well as the
ordinary green form, grows so rapidly
that it will be of ample size if cuttings
are put in a month from now. This
common plant is quite suitable for use
in window and porch boxes and it will
grow and thrive where other plants
would fail. Do not overlook the droop-
ing forms of coleus and abutilons,
which are well adapted for trailing
purposes.
Variegated Vincas.
Variegated vincas, to be at all serv-
iceable, should be thick and heavy and
have long, trailing shoots. The proper
place for them is along the sides of
carnation benches, where the shoots can
hang down. Water and feed them well
for the next three months and you
will have splendid plants. Propagation
from either divisions or cuttings is easy.
Remember that if you sell all your siz-
able stock you will need a good batch
to follow them for another season, and
these smaller plants should have a sea
son in the field to give them size and
vigor. Vincas like a rich soil and an
abundant water supply. .\t this sea-
son they bloom freely in a sunny house.
It is too bad they do not flower through
the summer also. The blue flowers and
variegated foliage make n charming
combination.
English Ivies.
Englitili ivies make splendid basket,
vase and piazza box plants. They are
good for fovering walls in some of the
colder states where the morning sun
will not hit them, and in more balmy
states have manifold uses. There is
always a big call for them and it pays
to work up a good stock of them each
season. Cuttings do not take long to
root in a warm ju-opagating bench and
now is a good time to start a good
batcli. These small [dants will not be
salable this season, but if potted and
the pots plunged overhead in any good
garden soil, the plants will make a good
' growth in a season. They will do
specially well plunged in a partly
shaded position, although that is not
necessary. If an occasional soaking can
be given during flry weather, it will
cause an accelerated growtli.
Dahlias and Cannas.
It is somewhat early to start either
cannas or dahlias, but it will be a good
plan to look over the stock of roots.
Some of these may be showing decay
and should be cut away. "Where this
shows among the cannas, scatter some
dry sand about the cuts. If you want
a few early cannas in pots, start one
or two of each variety. Keep thesa
potted along and have them in good
bloom before spring sales start. By hav-
ing a blooming plant of each sort, it is
easier for customers to pick out what
they want.
Propagating Bedding Plants.
Keep the cutting bench well filled with
cuttings of coleus, acalyphas, alternan-
theras, ageratums, petunias, lobelias and
other laedding plants. All cuttings root
much more quickly and satisfactorily
now, while steady fire heat is used and
the sand in the benches is constantly
warm. Do not allow them to become too
dry and be sure to keep sun and air
currents from the cuttings; thus treateil,
few should fail to root.
FERN FBONDS WITHERED.
1 am enclosing a few fronds of a
fern which I am growing. At present
it is growing in the bench for devel-
opment. This bench of ferns was in
fine shape about ten days ago. On
going to the greenhouses this morning,
however, I find that the ferns look bad
in certain places, though not through-
out the entire bench. This is some-
thing that we cannot account for. I
shall be thankful for any information
as to the cause of the ferns acting in
this way. I should also be pleased to
know the name of this fern.
E. G.— 111.
The fern of which some fronds were
enclosed is Nephrolepis eordifolia, a
pretty and compact-growing species
when propagated from spores, and of
rapid growth during the summer
months. The fronds were quite dry
and were dropping some of their pinnae
when examined; so it is not easy to say
what caused the injury to the foliage,
l)ut as the damage is stated to be in
patches, it would seem probable that it
was due to an escape of gas from the
furnace. Had the trouble with the foli-
age been general throughout the bench,
it would more likely have been due to
the ferns going to rest for a time, as
this species is semi-deciduous.

CARNATIONS HURT BY SPRAY?
I would like to know what is wrong
with my carnation plants, samples of
which I am sending you under separate
cover. I have about .^00 plants in this
condition. One night the temperature
in the house dropju'd to 4.*? degrees; I
now am maintaining a night tem])erature
of 48 to .^11 degrees. As the remainder
of the plants in this house are doing
well, I am at a loss to find the cause
of the trouble.
.1. F. M.— 111.
Your jilants are not diseased. They
appear to have been scahled in some
manner, perhaps by some kind of spray
ing material. That drop in temperature
could hardlv be responsible for the
trouble. A. F. .1. B.
A BEGINNING IN CARNATIONS.
Will rooted cuttings of carnations,
2Vj-'mch pot plants or field-grown clumps
^ive best returns in a greenhouse which
T am jdanning to build here, in northern
(ieorgia? When should I jdant themt
How often should I pinch them back
.•ind when should I cease pinching?
R. D. M.— Ga.
While I have no personal knowledge
(pf the climatic and other conditions in
Georgia during the summer, I presume
that in order to grow carnation plants
in a greenhouse in that state the green-
house would need to be well shaded and
jiroviiled with ample means for ventila-
tion, and that careful attention to wa-
tering would be needed. It would seem
better, therefore, to use field-grown
jdants and plant them in the beds in
September.
If conditions are favorable for so
doing, the cheapest way of securing
plants is to obtain rooted cuttings,
either by growing or purchasing them.
If they have been properly hardened in
the cutting bench, and a Skinner sys-
tem or some other method of watering
them is available in case of dry weather,
they may be set at once in the field, but
ordinarily a much better stand may be
secured if they are placed either in pots
or flats for three or four weeks befor«'
they are planted in the field. This will
make it possible to harden them prop-
erly and, as they will develop a strong
root system, the results will generally
repay the extra labor.
If the small plants, either in the flats
or fi(dd, show a tendency to develop a
single stem, they should be cut or
pinched back to one inch from the
ground at first, but later the stems may
be left a little longer. Ordinarily this
need not be kept up for more than two
months after the plants are set in the
field, but flower stalks should not be al-
lowed to develop until within two or
three weeks of the time they are to be
l>laeed in the house, unless the plants
liave become strong and stocky.
For complete directions for the grow-
ing of carnations in the field, as well as
in the greenhouse, you might consult
Taft's "Greenhouse Management,"
which will be sent postpaid by The Re-
view for $1.50. ' T.

RAMBLERS FOR EASTER.
Fertilizer and Water.
Easter ramblers now are making a
rapid growth and need considerable feed
and water from this time on, so as to
insure good flowering breaks. Cattle
manure soaked in barrels about ten days
and diluted in fresh water makes an
excellent fertilizer. The strength of the
mixture depends on how far your plants
are advanced; care must be taken at the
start not to make the fertilizer too
str<^. Pot-grown ramblers will stand
argaod deal stronger mixture than field-
/grown stock.
Field-grown ramblers sometimes are
slow in making new roots, especially the
imported stock, which this year was in
transit longer than usual A great many
plants start breaking and leaf out before
there is any sign of root action. Plants
acting in this manner should not have
fertilizer of any kind until they show
fresh roots.
Time to Feed.
Wlien the breaks develop from three
to five leaves and the roots are well
started, it is time to give the plants a
light dose of the manure liquid, once
every week. First give them a water-
ing of fresh water. After the manure is
well soaked in there generally is a sedi-
ment on top. Soak this down with fresh
water. This practically means three
waterings, and it is not any too much.
Thousands of roses in pots and
benches are ruined every year because
they did not receive enough water and
fertilizer at the proper time.
Make the mixture a little stronger
each time. When the breaks begin to
show buds, give the plants the limit in
food, and plenty of water.
As most ramblers are in 5^^ and
6-inch pots, it is impossible to water
them thoroughly by going over them
once only. Soak them two or three
times, especially when you are water-
ing and feeding them during the bright
days of March.
Red Spider and Syringing.
Wlien red spider makes its first ap-
pearance, syringe the plants the day
on which you water them, or the follow-
ing day, while your pots are well soaked.
The next syringing should be done when
you give the plants the next watering.
By following this rule you always know
the exact condition of the soil. Many
growers have an idea that it is neces-
sary to syringe ramblers or other kinds of
roses on all bright days, but this is a
great mistake, as it makes the wood soft,
and the grower is more liable to meet
with mildew. Furthermore, it keeps the
top soil wet and makes it hard for the
grower to tell the exact condition of the
soil. The plants may be suffering from
want of water, and the only way
one can tell it is by taking out the
plants. On bright days they may begin
to wilt before one realizes how dry they
are. If rose plants get in that condi-
tion, injury is done to both flowers and
foliage. Jerry P. Jorgensen.
INSECTS IN ROSE SOIL.
Under separate cover I am sending
you a sample of soil taken from the top
of my rose bed. It contains little white
insects which stay just under the top
soil. The insects were not brought in
with this mulch, as they were there be-
fore it was put on. The rose plants are
not doing well and I would like to know
if these insects injure the roots. If so,
how can I get rid of themf
A. E. W.— Mich.
I could not find any of the white in-
sects referred to in the soil sample re-
ceived, but found several wireworms.
These can be gottdn' H(J of by -laying
a poisoned mash for them, the bait to
consist of sweet bran, molasses and
Paris green, using just enough poison to
slightly color the mash.
For soil pests use carbon bisulphide,
boring holes twelve to fifteen inches
apart each way and two to three inches
deep. Into eacKtole pour a scant tea-
spoonful of the carbon. It generates a
gas which suffocates all soil pests and
will not harm your roses. As the liquid
is of an explosive nature, be careful not
to use any naked light while applying
it. C. W.
TIMING ROSES FOR EASTER.
We have some Magna Charta roses
that have been in the house six weeks
and are now showing buds. The tem-
perature in the house is 52 degrees at
night. Do you think the buds will open
before Easter? We have more of the
same variety that we want for Decora-
tion day. How many weeks will it take
to have them in time for that day?
L. A. E. & S.— O.
The roses, if already in bud, will be
too early for Easter. I am afraid that
if you place them in a lower tempera-
ture you may get mildew on the plants.
You might try running them a trifle
cooler, say 45 degrees at night, and hold
them there until the buds show color,
when it will be safe to keep them still
cooler; but avoid cold drafts, which
would start mildew.
For Memorial day eight to. nine weeks
would suffice to flower the plants in an
average night temperature of 52 to 55
degrees. A good deal, of course, would
depend on the amount of sunshine we
have. If cold and unusually cloudy, ten
weeks might be necessary. C. W.
Elyria, O. — Its present building hav-
ing become too small to care for the
largely increasing business, the Hecock
Floral Co. has made plans for the erec-
tion this spring of a 3-story building on
the site of its present structure.

SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS
FOR SOUTHERN FLORISTS
MUMS IN THE SOUTH.
Now is a good time to begin to take
t'hrysanthoniuin cuttings, especially of
the early varieties, and particularly in
those sections where the bulk of the
crop is grown outdoors. A deep cold-
frame is the best place in which to prop-
agate the cuttings, in the warm sections,
and a mixture of half sand and half
charcoal dust is the best propagating ma-
terial. The cuttings will require shading
during the day, but the cover should
be removed at night, to allow the dew
to settle on the cuttings. The main thing
to remember when propagating in a cold-
frame is to do all necessary watering
after removing the shade at night. The
cuttings root readily during March.
Later they have a tendency to rot, com-
mencing at the top of the shoot. If the
cuttings are taken just a little bit hard
and the tops pinched out, no trouble will
be experienced.
In the cooler sections of the south
cuttings will root readily in the samef
bed in which carnations are propagated.
Propagation can be continued during the
hot weather of May and June if some
lath shutters are placed on the roof over
the bed, the beds kept well shaded and
the little plants given plenty of water.
L.
EASTEE PLANTS IN SOUTH.
With Easter only six weeks away,
southern growers can now make a rea-
sonably correct estimate as to whether
their stock will be in flower at that date.
The great staples in the south are lilies,
hydrangeas, azaleas, spiraeas and bulb-
ous stock. If the lilies and hydrangeas
are showing buds now, they will be in
good time if kept in a night temperature
of 60 degrees. In the cooler sections
more heat can be given, and then the
plants may be hardened off for two
weeks in a cool, shaded house. Hydran-
geas should be given manure water twice
a week from now until the flowers show-
color.
Spiraas need about nine weeks to
come into flower. They should be start-
ed cool and then advanced into warmer
quarters as they progress. They will
stand hard forcing if necessary, but
they will be better if grown in a tem-
perature not exceeding 60 degrees at
night. They require plenty of water.
Azaleas will flower almost naturally for
Easter. If they have been kept in a
coldframe during the winter, three weeks
in a greenhouse temperature will develop
the flowers. Almost all of the bulbous
stock for this holiday will bloom in ten
to fourteen days after uncovering. Lilies,
hydrangeas and all bulbous stock have a
better appearance when tied to neat,
green stakes with green raffia. L.
MODERN TUBEROUS BEGONIAS.
nia, with its large, waxy flowers of va-
rious colors, says the bulletin, has no
equal for an indoor display.
The begonia was named after a
French patron of botany, M. Begon, and
the term "tuberous" is applied because
the group possesses perennial rootstocks.
Thirty-five years ago the i)lant was just
beginning to attract popular attention.
At that time a number of hybrid forms
were introduced, and the evolution since
then has resulted in the production of
varieties with large-sized blooms as
double as a rose. At present nearly
every imaginable tint is being shown,
as well as many shapes, which often pre-
sent an extraordinary similarity to
other flowers, such as the camellia, rose,
hollyhock, carnation and peony. In a
great many varieties the petals arc
round, in some short and narrow, while
in others they are fine and frilled; some-
times they are loose and open and often
the reverse is true. Many of the flow-
ers are flat when open, a few are anem-
one-centered, and others are globular,
pyramidal or elliptical. The plant
blooms continuously from June to Octo-
ber, the duration of the individual flow-
ers varying from three to six weeks
from the time of opening.
Parents of Modem Begonias.
The first species concerned in the
parentage of the present-day forms was
Begonia Boliviensis, which was intro-
duced into England from Bolivia in
1864. It is characterized by long, nar-
row leaves and scarlet, fuchsia-like flow-
ers. This species has recently been
crossed with some of the double and
single forms and has given rise to a
type with long, pendulous stems and
drooping flowers, which is suitable for
hanging baskets.
The next species to be introduced was
Begonia Pearcei, also from Bolivia, in
1866. The plant has large yellow flow-
ers in axillary panicles and has been
the chief factor in the production of
hundreds of yellow, buff and orange
forms. In 1867 B. rosseflora was brought
from Peru. It bears large rose-red flow-
ers and has prov^ed to be important in
the creation of some of the white forms,
the best known of these being the
Queen of the Whites. The s&me year
B. Veitchii followed, with its round,
vermilion-tinted flowers, to which many
of our present-day varieties owe their
coloring. In 1876 B. Clarkei and B.
Davisii were introduced. The former
lias rose-colored blossoms, and the latter,
a dwarf plant with smooth, glossy fo-

Their Hybridization and Culture.
A recent bulletin from the Missouri
Botanical Garden contains some inter-
esting information on the hybridization
and culture of the tuberous begonia.
During the summer the tuberous bego-
Murfreesboro, Tenn. — The Jetton Flo-
ral Co. has recently completed a new
greenhouse.
Gulfport, Miss.— The Mills Farms
Co., one of the largest seed firms in
this part of the United States, is plant-
ing forty acres in satSuma oranges. The
trees are Mississippi grown.
Tampa. Fla.— The Knull Floral Co. put
a new delivery truck into service just
before Christmas and reports it is prov-
ing a good advertisement as well as a
means of quick action on an order. The
truck is unusual in that it is pure white
except for the trimming.
New Orleans, La. — Frank J. Reyes,
who claims the distinction of having
furnished more wedding bouquets than
any other man in New Orleans during
his twenty years' career as a florist, has
purchased the interests of his partner,
Peter Ackerman, and is planning big
things for his business.
Waco, Tex.— Through the efforts of
the Lions' Club, February 22 was ob-
served here as rose-planting day, the
movement having the official recognition
of the mayor and the town's civic work-
ers. Several of the department stores
held mammoth sales of 2-year-old rose
plants. At the club's banquet in the
evening speakers gave cultural direc-
tions to amateurs.
Tifton, Ga.— M. F. Myers, of the My-
ers Seed & Plant Co., reports that nearly
all his plants were killed by the recent
cold wave.
Montgomery, Ala. — The Rosemont
Gardens reports business this season the
best in its history. Only a small part
of the business is local, cut flowers be-
ing sent throughout the south, with a
large mail order business in plants.
Reidsyille, N. C— Mrs. W. T. Barber
is erecting a greenhouse of the Monin-
ger semi-iron type, .30x50 feet. The
weather has been unusually cold here.
The mercury fell to 3 degrees above zero
February 6, the coldest known in thirty-
seven years.
Savannah, Ga. — The florists in this
section lost heavily in the February
freeze. There are several establishments
with only rudimentary heating equip-
ment, for little heat usually is needed.
A. C. Oelschig, whose establishment has
been considered well equipped, lost
quite heavily, one item being about 10,-
000 plants of Ficus elastica. The rubber
plant is Mr. Oelschig 's specialty and it
is probable that he is the largest grower
of it in the United States. The high
uiud that accompanied the drop in the
temperature proved Mr. Oelschig 's un-
doing, for it made it impossible to heat
the exposed parts of hi? range.

CASEY'S GREEN CARNATION.
The subjoined "poem" was penned
when the green carnation was more of a
novelty than it is now. It was published
in Butte, Mont., February 7, 1906. ' ' Jim-
my" King now is one of the officers of
the Butte Floral Co. Casey is a man
well known in Butte, as were Beudahl
and the author.
Hare you ever heard the story, weird and strange
and grewsome, too.
How a florist showed the people what an awful
lot he knew?
Hear, then, ot the green carnation Jimmy King
the florist grew.
In his buttonhole he wore it, green as is the Em-
erald Isle,
Green as vernal April meadows, far from city sin
and guile.
"Here," said King, "for fancy blossoms— tliis
will hold you for awhile!"
Casey saw it; Casey loved it; Casey bouglit the
flower of King.
When at last he owned the blossom George was
proud as anything,
Danced an Irish jig, a polltn and a lightsome
Highland fling.
Swelled his chest to fearsome compass, wore a
high and mighty grin.
Swore that King had Burbanli faded, said he
knew that King would win.
Then went homeward to his chamber, doused the
glimmer and turned in.
All night long that green carnation stood Jn water
fresh and cool.
All night long did Casey murmur. "Jimmy King
is no one's fool —
He's the greatest living pupil ot the Luther Bur-
bank school."
In the full, fresh, fragrant morning, Casey woke
and looked around ^
Till his eyes upon the table once again tlie blos-
som found.
"Then it was no drenm," said Casey, "it is
green and safe and sound."
Entered presently a comrade, finding Casey all
serene,
Norseman Beudahl glanced about him with a
rather prying mien.
Till lie spied the green carnation, still a vivid
vernal green.
"Casey," said his friend, "I'm thinking this is
paler than before.
Tell me, is this green carnation just the same as
what you wore
When you wended through the city raising such
an awful roar?"
"Yes," said Casey, "that's the ticket; that's the
blossom, ain't It great?
Green carnations ain't so frequent in the old
Montana state;
I shall order forty dozen for St. Patrick's day and
date."
"Yaas, I tank it's fine," quoth Beudahl, "green
and wonderful to see.
And the water it ia kept in is as green as it can
be—
Green carnations be lak marvels, but dem colors
runs, by yee!"
Casey looked, and Casey fainted from a sad and
pained surprise.
All his boasting had been wasted, Norseman Beu-
dahl put him wise
That the green carnation's color was the work
of Diamond Dyes.
Now you've heard the wondrous story, and it's
absolutely true
How a florist bunkoed Casey with a blossom
strange in hue.
Farewell to the green carnation Jimmy King the
florist grew!

A NEW PORTRAIT.
Here is a new portrait of J. F.
Ammann, of Edwardsville, 111., who is
secretary of the Illinois State Florists'
Association, and who presided at the
recent Indianapolis convention of the
American Carnation Society. Mr. Am-
mann is one of the best known members
of the trade, but that is not the reason

BEGONIA ALICE MANNING.
The Alice Manning begonia belongs
to the tuberous-rooted section and makes
a grand basket plant. Kenneth McLean,
head gardener for John I. Kane, of Bar
Harbor, Me., grows it successfully, as
he does many other plants flowering in
the Bar Harbor season. By starting
tubers in February he has them in full
bloom, as shown in the accompanying
illustration, early in June, and other
tubers started at intervals up to April
1 give a succession of blooms until Sep-
tember. The flowers retain their best
effect for more than a month. These
begonias are used entirely in hanging
baskets on the piazza of the mansion.
The color of Alice Manning is prim-
rose-yellow and the flowers are double.
The culture and soil are the same as
for achimenes and gloxinias. Mr. Mc-
Lean grows Golden Sheaves and alba
plena of the same type, which do equally
well. These begonias should prove
valuable for gardeners and florists re-
quiring basket plants for piazza use.

THE NATIONAL FLOWER AGAIN.
A Subject That Will Not Down.
hi all trades, professions or walks of
life we meet spooks. By spooks I mean
questions returning periodically, caus-
ing people to use a lot of printers' ink,
arousing excitement, making enemies of
friends and then often vanishing as
mysteriously as they appeared. Many
of them, however, after having been
voluminously discussed, finally take defi-
nite form and emerge from the realm of
spooks to become laws, customs or insti-
tutions, adopted or sanctione<l by so-
ciety. The national flower spook has ap-
peared in the columns of the horticul-
tural papers and I am prompted to make
a few remarks regarding it.
Some of the State Flowers.
There arc two factors that may lead
to the selection of a state or national
llower: Historical events and the de-
sire of the people not to lag beliind the
rest of the world through not having
such a national oinbleni. Some people
may say we ought to wait till some his-
torical event would give us a national
fiower, but modern people, especially
Americans, livo so fast that they can-
not patiently await such an event.
Let us suppose, therefore, that the de-
sire for an arbitrarily designated na-
tional flower is justified. Great care
ought to be exercised in adopting one,
for we all want our new national flower
to be popular among all classes of peo-
ple. We do not want a national flower
that exists on paper only, like so many
of the state flowers. Who knows what
is the state flower of Oklahoma! The
people of Oklahoma do not know. The
school children and teachers may know.
It is no flower at all. It is a farm plant
— alfalfa. This fact would not bar it
from the list of successful state flowers.
Hasn't Scotland the much despised this-
tle as a national emblem? But alfalfa
will never be really popular in Okla-
homa, except among the bottom-land
farmers in dry years, when the chinch
bugs eat their wheat and the hot winds
burn their corn.
The weedy, homely, much fought sun-
flower is the state flower of Kansas, and
a popular one, too. Many people out-
side of Colorado know that state's
fiower. It is the lovely columbine.
Three Necessary Qualities.
Tlic unpo[iularity of alfalfa and the
])opularity of the two other state flow-
ers mentioned, may give us a few hints
regarding the selection of a national
flower.
Begonia Alice Manning in Hanging Basket.
Alfalfa blossoms are not strikingly
beautiful. I said "strikingly beauti-
ful, ' ' for all flowers are beautiful if you
look at them with the eyes of & lover
of nature. Alfalfa is not a native of
Oklahoma and is not even grown every-
where in the state. That is why alfalfa
is not a popular state flower.
The reasons for the popularity of the
Colorado flower are its beauty and the
fact that it is a characteristic flower of
the Rocky mountains. No doubt, the
tourists also have helped to spread its
fame.
The sunflower, on the other hand, is
not strikingly beautiful. Many people
regard it as an obnoxious weed and all
of us have to fight it occasionally. Yet
the sunflower has much popularity as a
state flower in Kansas, because it is so
characteristic of the Kansas plains. You
will know why the sunflower is so dear
to the heart of many a Kansan, if you
ever speed through the southwest, com-
fortably seated in the cushions of a Pull-
man or a large touring car, and see the
millions of sunflowers along the roads
and fences and in the cornfields, where
they intrude on the slovenly farmer.
We thus have found three requisites
to the popularity of a state flower. It
must be beautiful, it must grow in all
parts of the territory it represents and
it must be characteristic of that terri-
tory.
Some Candidates for Favor.
The rhododendron has been proposed
as our national flower. I have seen the
Alleghenies in June and I shall never
forget the glorious sight. Whole moun-
tainsides were covered with rhododen-
drons and the blooms looked like a love-
ly pink veil spread lightly over the
glossy green of the foliage. But do we
want to force the people of Texas, North
Dakota and the whole west to accept as
their emblem a flower that they do not
know? They cannot even grow it in
their gardens, on account of the glaring
winter sun and the lime in the soil.
The iris has been recommended as our
national flower. Few flowers are more
beautiful. Several species grow wild in
the United States. But the native irises
are not characteristic of the country in
general, because they love moist haunts.
Wide stretches of the country have no
native species at all.
The gladiolus has a pull, as they call
it in politics. It will never do for our na-
tional flower. There is no native species,
at least east of the Rocky mountains,
and a foreign flower cannot become our
national flower. It is the grandest out-
door cut flower we have, but it cannot
be used generally as a garden flower, on
account of the sparse foliage and the
short duration of the individual flowers.
Beautiful, But a Foreigner.
The peony is another aspirant for the
honor of being our national flower. It
is beautiful, but it is a foreigner and
its blooming season is short.
By the way, I do not see why a na-
tional flower ought to have a long, stiff
stem, so that we can "wave it in tri-
umph," as one writer has suggested. I
think the florists will agree with me
when I say that most flowers will be
worn in a buttonhole or as a corsage
bouquet, and few will be waved in tri-
umph.
The goldenrod has been suggested as
a national flower. It has better claims
than all the flowers mentioned before.
It grows almost everywhere in the
Mabcii 1, 1917.
The Florists' Review
21
United States and the countryside looks
beautiful when it is ablaze with the yel-
low hue of the goldenrods. But the
goldenrod is not so strikingly beautiful
as the iris, the gladiolus, the rhododen-
dron or the peony. And, worst of all,
goldenrods give many people hay fever.
An Objection to Asters.
But perhaps we can find another flow-
er, possessing the virtues but not the ob-
jectionable features of the goldenrod.
Asters grow everywhere in the country
and most of them are beautiful. One
fact is against them; the wild-growing
species differ too much and people would
hardly regard the fifty or more different
species of asters, growing wild in the
northeastern United States, as one
flower.
Some florists seem to think that our
national flower should be a florists ' flow-
er or at least a garden flower. Of course,
it could be a garden or greenhouse flow-
er, but most likely it will not be. It
looks selfish when a florist uses so much
rhetoric to push a florists' flower as the
national flower. Florists have Mothers'
dayland many other days on which to
sell ^lowers. They should not go to ex-
tremes. But no doubt the voice of flo-
rists and gardeners ought to be heard in
selecting a national flower for the
United States. Paul Winkler.
GERANIUM FOLIAGE AFFECTED.
Can you tell me what is the matter
with my geraniums? The leaves seem
to be diseased. I am sending some of
the leaves under separate cover.
M. C. M.— Mich.
This is not a disease. The leaves
have turned red and this may be due
either to excessively dry root conditions,
or to the fact that they are standing
on a layer of coal ashes, or to a de-
ficiency of food in the pots. If they
are in need of potting, shift them. Use
a little old, well rotted manure and a
4-inch potful of fine bone to each bushel
of soil. Maintain a temperature of 45
to 50 degrees at night and a dry at-
mosphere. If you have coal ashes be-
low the pota, remove them. Proper
watering and a little feeding should
soon put vour plants in good shape.
C. W.
GERANIUMS DISEASED.
I am enclosing two geranium leaves,
the stems of which are diseased. The
white streak seems to eat the substance
out of the stem and cause it to turn
yellow and die. We have about 4,000
plants, about half of which are affected,
principally of the S. A. Nutt variety.
.1. F. L.— Pa.'
Loaves affocti'd in this way usually in-
dicate that the plants have been kept
crowded in the cutting benches too long
and have become more or less debili-
tated. I- would pick off all the leaves
with stalks thus affected. Endeavor to
get a lietter growth on the plants by
giving them a nice, sunny house, with
plenty of fresh air on every favorable
occasion and a temperature of 48 to 50
degrees at night. Also, give them a
spraying with a good fungicide, such as
Bordeaux mixture or Fungine. I doubt
if your plants will ever have the vigor
of stock which has had proper care in
the early stages of growth. Excessive
propagation and too long a period in
the cutting bench are usually respon-
sible for these and other ailments.

OBITUARY
Gustav Enoch.
Failing to renew his health in Flor-
ida, where he had spent six weeks,
Gustav Knoch, of Detroit, hanged him-
self among the flowers in his store,
February 27. He had suffered from a
nervous breakdown due to overwork.
Besides his widow, five sons and three
daughters survive him. Mr. Knoch was
born in Detroit fifty-one years ago. He
had been in the florists' business more
than thirty years, having built up the
large establishment on Fort street west
by his own efforts.
George F. Kingsley.
George Kingsley, of Wooster, O., died
February 14, following an illness from a
complication of diseases. Mr. Kingsley
was a native of Ashtabula county, O.
In early life he learned the trade of a
cabinetmaker and followed that occupa-
tion for a number of years. About thirty
years ago the family located at Wooster
and the first Kingsley greenhouse was
erected. The business was conducted
by the decedent and his wife with suc-
cess during all these years. Mr. Kings-
ley was 82 years of age and is surviAcd
by his wife, one son, Charles, and a
daughter.
Samuel L. Wintemltz.
Samuel L. Winternitz was not in the
trade, but he was known to nearly every
florist, nurseryman or seedsman who
ever came in touch, as buyer or seller,
with Chicago's auction machinery, for
Winternitz conducted most of the forced
sales of horticultural goods that have
occurred in his city in the last twenty
years. He was born in Austria March
'(), 3862, and died at Chicago February
2;{, 1917, a man whose word was good.
B. Terrell Hoyt.
B. T. Hoyt, well known landscape ar-
chitect and proprietor of the Hoyt Nurs-
ery Co., of St. Paul, Minn., died Febru-
ary 12 of nephritis, following an illness
of four months' duration. Mr. Hoyt Avas
born at St. Paul, February 11, 187(5. He
is survived by his wife, a daughter, two
sisters and two brothers.
D. R. Mayo.
D. R. Mayo, proprietor of a large seed
business at Knoxville, Tenn., passed
away February 16, death resulting from
a stroke of apoplexy, Mr. Mayo was
at his place of business on the morning
l)revious to his death and apparently was
in the best of health, but later in the
day, while attending to some legal busi
ncss at a magistrate's, he suddenly fell
unconscious to the floor.
Mr. Mayo was born in Monroe county,
Ark., September 20, 1854, and removed
to Knoxville in 1880. He was first en-
gaged in the grocery business, but later
took up the seerl business, in which he
jjrospered so well that he soon ranked
as one of Knoxville 's foremost business
men. Although not rated as a good
''mixer," the iloceilent had a host of
friends. - H. E. M.

\V. .T. & M. S. Vescy, of Fort
Wayne, Ind., are rapidly bringing into
shape the latest addition to their collec-
tion of orchids. Just now there is a
fine showing of Cattleya Trianie. I
learned from W. J. Vesey that a recent
report relative to a range of houses es-
pecially built for orchids, was an error;
l)ut it is intended to tear donii a range
of six houses and to build the new
houses each 100 feet longer for roses.
Ophelia is a perpetual bloomer. Whether
grown on own-root or grafted stock, the
yield is the same. Shnwyor is doing
well. Planted six weeks later than
usual/ the plants are not so strong as
they otherwise would be; yet there was
a heavy crop at Christmas that sold at
$20 per hundred wholesale. Speaking
of the loss in holiday shipments of or-
chids, Mr. Vesey remarked that his con-
cern was doubly unfortunate, as the
duplicated sliipments also were frozen.
The total comprised 6,800 blooms, in
addition to sprays. Vandas, phahTuop-
sis and Oncidium splendidum are much
sought after as sprays. Carnations are
cro])ping heavily and arc in good de-
maud.
"Every hybridizer," observed Theo
(lore Dorner, of the F. Dorner & Sons
Co., of La Fayette, Ind., "has some
special color as well as character of
the plant in view. Father paid less at-
tention to white than any other color,
but in White Wonder we have a carna-
tion that stands today without a peer
in its class. We are trying out some
liromising whites, as you will see."
There is no dearth in pinks, with Good
(Jheer and Sensation going strongly.
Laddie, the latest introduction, will be
a strong favorite. It is a lovely shade
of salmon and has a strong clove scent.
It is a sure winner. ' ' Look at this
bunch of Rosalie," said Mr. Dorner.
"Here wo have a distinct color, red or
pink, according to the light. The rich-
est of all our introductions, Rosalie,
cannot but become a general favorite
for color, growth and free<lom of flower-
ing." From four benches of seedling
reds there were selected just four that
were considered worthy of further trial.
While the carnation may be said to be
preeminent at the Dorner establish-
ment, it is interesting to note some-
thing highly promising in a seedling
rose, Sunl)urst x Hoosier Beaut}', which
jiossesses all the excellent points of the
jiarents. It has the fragrance of a hybrid
tea, a long shapely bud, and is a pleas-
ing shade of pink. "We think highly
of Mrs, Shawyer, " commented Mr.
Dorner, "but believe to do it justice
it must be grown alone. Killarney is
not so particular — you will notice how
well the old favorite does here." A
house of Violet Princess of Wales was
noteworthy, as well as a general assort-
ment of stock grown for the retail trdde.
F. K. Smith's Sons, of Danville, HI.,

either a feast or famine," remarked
Fred Smith as he was putting the fin-
ishing touch to a handsome casket

RESULTS.
We give them. You get them.
We both liave them.
All winter many greeiiliouse men have
been on the ragged edge of having their
places freeze up. We liope they do not
get an all-summer drought.
This will be a great year for the home
; gardens. Ever}' florist should prepare
himself, for there will be many demands
for advice, and for seeds and plants. '
Advertisers are urged to act promptly
in the matter of cutting out offers of
stock that is becoming sold out, also to
specify in the advertisements as nearly
as possible when the stock offered will
be ready for shipment.
The human family is a gay and con-
fident lot. The fact that two experi-
enced florists have made a failure of a
certain flower store would not for a
moment deter a third, perhaps less ex-
perienced, .from trying his luck.
The growth of the trade eomos about
principally in one or the other of two
ways: either an amateur makes a small
beginning commercially or an employee
sets up for himself, usually in an unpre
tentious way. There are few instances
in which men without experience have
entered the field and continued in it any
length of time.
Those who fumigate with hydrocyanic
acid gas can not bo too careful. Last
week a grower visited The Review in
search of suggestions for a quick crop to
take the place of cucumbers completely
ruined by the gas just as they came into
bearing. The space was 65x450 ! In this
case the grower laid the loss to chlorine
in the gas, but the wholesale druggist's
clerk had sold the chemical for potassium
cyanide ninety-eight per cent pure.
In view of the rapid advance in the
cost of production and considering the
risks involved in this phase of the busi-
ness, members of the Rochester Florists'
Association at last month 's meeting went
on record as favoring an increase in the
rentals of palms and ferns. The aver-
age charge, a speaker said, is $4 per
dozen plants; it was proposed that the
j)rice be raised to $6. If the members
follow their resolutions with concerted
action in charging the higher rentals, the
Rochester body will have set a precedent
for other trade organizations in the mat-
ter of raising prices through cooperative
effort.
Last week The Review published forty-
three for-sale advertisements as against
twenty-nine in the corresponding issue of
last year. One is inclined to consider
the comparison significant, though it is
not wise to put too much stress on one
week 's showing. At first glance — the ma-
jority of the ads offered greenhouse es-
tablishments for sale — it would seem that
many florists are desirous of quitting the
business, or, to put it more strongly,
many find the business unprofitable. Un-
doubtedly in most cases the so-called rea-
son is the high cost of doing business,
coal, materials, etc. But perhaps in
many other cases the advertisers were
not sure of their costs — did not base
their selling prices on the actual cost
prices.
"SEND HEB EASTEB FLOWERS."
One of the largest advertisers in pub-
lications of general circulation is Hart,
Sc'liaffiior & Marx and to them florists
<;we a return for the excellent boost
given ill the current magazii^s. The ad
ill ilio Saturday Evening Post for Feb-
ruary 17, for instance, cost about $5,000.
It shows a young woman receipting for
llowers in a box from "Easter & Co.,
florists, ' ' and the offer to send the H. S.
& M. style book begins, "Before you
send her Easter flowers," etc.
The suggestion to the Post's "more
than two million a week" that it is the
proper and conventional thing to send
"lior" flowers at Easter is worth more
limn a little to this trade.
THAT $7,000,000,000 RAISE.
.\ statistician of repute has estimated
that the so-called tremendous prosperity
of the country has resulted in an addi-
tion of seven billion dollars to wages
alone during the last year. Now, it has
been ascertained that, on receiving a
larger compensation for his work, the
average wage-earner advances his rate
of living; that is, he expends a part or
all of his augmented earnings for the
better things, including some of the
luxuries that formerly were beyond his
reach. From this it may be assumed
<:hat an appreciable number of the coun-
try's workers have, for the time being
at least, graduated into the flower-buy-
ing class. Perhaps this will act as an
incentive to the florist who believes in
educating potential buyers to the uses
of flowers. This year there are likely
to be more converts to retail advertis-
ing among florists than ever before, but
it is hoped that none of the converts
{>uts all his eggs in one basket.
It seems advisable to point out that
the figure given covers the increase in
wages only. Many of those who enjoy
salaries or general incomes also have
been benefited by the prosperous times,
but there are no statistics, on salaries
or incomes, except income tax statistics,
and these are admitted to be widely off
the mark, not only on account of the
great numbers of tax dodgers but also
on account of tax exemptions, etc. At
any rate, $7,000,000,000— per year, if
the war keeps on — is not to be over-
looked. The national debt is only a
little over a billion and Uncle Sam
bought Alaska for a mere $7,200,000!
A GENTLEMEN'S AGREEMENT.
It will, be well to turn to the Phila-
delphia letter in this issue of The Re-
view and read what the growers of
Easter and bedding plants in that dis-
trict have done to recoup the losses oc-
casioned by the high costs of doing
business. They feel, as do all other
florists, that higher selling prices are
necessary, and they have determined to
make an advance of about twenty-five
per cent all along the line.
Wherever florists do not feel strong
enough to advance prices on their indi-
vidual responsibility, the action of the
Philadelphians suggests a means of
avoiding a profitless season.
THE READERS' VIEWPOINT.
When the rising cost of paper made
it necessary for The Review to increase
its subscription price to $1.50 per year,
it was done with some hesitation, not
because of doubt of the value given, but
because of reluctance to change in any
matter that had served satisfactorily
for years. But the weekly circulation
of The Review at the present subscrip-
tion price of $1.50 per year actually is
some 400 copies greater than it ever was
while the price w;as $1. It seems to
work like this:

Frank H. Ford. Hiph Point. N. C February 19,

When a publication is so useful to its
readers it naturally is equally useful as
an advertising medium, so when you
hear a man complain of the cost of ad-
vertising you can be pretty certain he
spends a good bit of money elsewhere
than in The Review.
CHICAGO.
The Market.
)
Shipping business last week, stimu-
lated by a funeral demand which was
heavy all through the country, was good.
In fact, although city trade has at times
been far from satisfactory, the out-of-
town demand has been uniformly steady
for the first two months of this year and
no cause for complaint can be found from
this source. The Lenten season has made
its arrival felt in some degree, especially
on city trade, this period being seem-
ingly observed more rigorously in larger
cities than in the smaller towns.
A retrospect of business of the month
of February is not unsatisfactory. Al-
though, as has already been noted, local
trade has at times been lethargic, ship-
ping trade was evenly good and the mar-
ket cleaned out with regularity each
week, with the possible exception of a
few items of bulbous stock. Stock gen-
erally was scarce and prices held up
fairly well to the quoted figures.
American Beauties still are scarce and
their quality is at present not good, it
being between seasons. Other varieties
of roses are in much larger supply this
week, but are morftig vrell. Pink Killar-

uey is a little oflE color with many grow-
ers, but on the whole there is no fault to
be found with the quality of roses. This
is true of the entire season, the inreather,
on the whole, having been favorable to
growers. In fact, it may be said that
Russell, Ophelia and Shawyer never
were of better quality. Although the
preference is given to red, pink and yel-
low varieties, no diflSculty. is :fpund in
clearing white stock. Prices are easing
as the supply increases.
Darker colored varieties of carnations
were scarce last week, with Enchantress
and white varieties more plentiful. Good
grades in all varieties move readily.
Easter lilies are in large supply in one
or two houses, in small supply elsewhere.
The receipts of callas are ample, but no
difficulty is found in clearing them. Or-
chids, though not in large supply, arrive
in sufficient quantities to meet a fairly
active demand. Single violets am com-
ing in more heavily and are selling well.
Sweet peas are plenliful. Good stock
brings fairly high prices, but shorter
stock, of which there Is much, sells at a
nominal figure and bargain sales may be
seen at nearly all the department stores.
Calendulas are moving slowly, while
mignonette, which is in fair supply, en-
joys a partial popularity. Paper Whites
are almost out, but are readily replaced
by poeticus, which finds a ready sale.
Good tulips require no great effort to
effect their sale, while poorer quality
stock is almost inert. Jonquils and daf-
fodils are in heavy supply and the aver-
age price has fallen so low many growers
of bulbous stock are complaining. Free-
sias are in short supply, as their season
draws to a close. They sell well. Rain-
bow freesias sell readily. Snapdragons
in white, yellow and pink arrive in
larger quantities. The quality is geod
and they sell well. A few forget-me-nots
coming in, are easily disposed of.
Plumosus is a scarce article. A little
Florida stock is, however, coming
through with regularity and a slight in-
crease in the home-grown supply was
noted last week.

Another Club Organized.
February 18 a new florists' and gar-
deners' club was organized in Chicago.
The membership is limited to the Polish
speaking florists and gardeners residing
in the United States.
The purpose of this new organization
is to promote social fellowship among
its members, encourage higher and bet-
ter professional education and assist in
finding suitable positions for the mem-
bers.
More than twenty members have al-
ready joined the ciub and many more
are expected at the next meeting, which
will take place March 4, at 3 {>. m., at
Kosciuszko park field house, located at
Diversey and Avers avenues. Applica-
tion for membership from florists and
gardeners residing outside of Chicago
should be addressed to Thomas Skorupa,
2740 North Avers avenue, who will fur-
nish all necessary information.
Thomas Skorupa, superintendent of
the Northwest Park District, is the pro-
moter of this new organization and is
confident that through it much good can
be accomplished for the advancement of
the profession and its members.
Various Notes.
A retailer who is positive in his opin^
ions stated to The Review his belief that
not more than three downtown retail
stores in Chicago have done better than

this season.
February 23 Samuel Seligman severe.l
his connection with the American Bulb
Co. He will visit his home in Philadel-
phia before making any new business
arrangements.
The need for novelty is thoroughly ap-
preciated by George Wienhoeber and
o;ie of the ways he is obtaining it this
season is by making up baskets of cut

Reminiscences, Not News.
The growers will be glad of a rise in
temperature; with the temperature hov-
ering around zero and coal scarce and
high, it was a problem for the boys to
figure overhead expenses. I met my old
friend, Rob Halliday, a few days ago,
and we had lunch together. He told
me that he was obliged to pay $8 per
ton for soft coal that cost $4 'last Au-
gust. He also told me that the manage-
ment of the Sherwood Distilling Co.
had to pay this figure for it in train-load
lots.
While talking we became reminiscent
of the old days when we were both in
the greenhouses of our fathers, and, as
we compared notes, we both agreed how
much better the young fellows have it
today than those of — we will say —
twenty years ago. Then we had only
brick flues and a furnace for a heating
plant, and the ashes had to be sifted
every day in order that the cinders
might be used. During a cold wave in
those days it was simply a case of stay-
ing up all night in order to keep the
frost out.
Nor is it only the grower who has been
benefited by modern progress; if any-
thing, I think the retail stores have a
little the best of it. In those days there
were no wholesale houses. Now in our
city we have the Pennock-Meehan Co.,
the Leo Niessen Co., the Baltimore Cut
Flower Co. and the Baltimore Florist &
Supply Co., so that, among these four,
when an order out of the ordinary comes
along, dne will have a chance to get
what one wants. In those days it was

a case of going every morning among
the growers and gathering up tlie stock
for the day.
How well the writer of this can re-
member a stern parent calling him from
a good, warm bed before daylight, with
"If you don't hurry up, Fritz (Frit/.
was R. J. Halliday's buyer) will be up
to Alex. Scott's ahead of you and you
will get nothing." Then; hitching the
horse to the wagon, the race was on.
First to Scott's, where, if conditions
were favorable, you might get two dozen
Perle des Jardins roses. In those days
Scott's had the best roses. But we can
not stop here; the Isaac Moss jilace is
our next stoj), and that is a good two
and a half miles. There we might pick
up from a half to one dozen callas, and
Ike always had good bouvardias. I
wonder if he can remember that white
abutiloii which stood at the end of the
house. How that wouM iiclj) out on a
design I Take the yellow center out and
bend the jietals back— but I must be off
to Archie Brackenbridge's, for we can
always find some miscellaneous stock at
Archie's. Then across the country to
Register avenue, where our old friend,
E]ichelbergcr, will welcome us, to say
nothing of .Tim Rice, on Abel's i)lace.
where we always went for camellias and
white azaleas. Then there was War-
wick, who grew fancy geraniums. Xo
matter how cold it might be, there was
never any frozen stock, for sheet raw-
cotton was cheap and blankets were
plentiful. We were back at the store
by half past ten.
If my old friend, Fred Berger, reads
this, he will recall some mighty cold
mornings along the York road, for Fred
in this marathon was a hard one to beat.
Nowadays, with the telephone and auto-
mobile, if stock cannot be had in Balti-
more you can have it from New York
and Philadelphia almost as quickly as
we in those days could gatiier it up.
Another big improvement is in deco-
rating. In those days we had to use

PHILADELPHIA.
The Market.
There are lots of flowers coming into
town now — so many that prices have
fallen. Everything is plentiful eJccept
Beauties and asparagus. Beauties are so
scarce that they are hard to secure,
while asparagus, though procurable, is
quite unequal to filling the wants for it.
Opinions differ as to the reason for the
complete change in market conditions
of a week ago, when flowers were so
scarce. Some people say that Lent has
come; many more say that flowers are
coming in much more freely. Probably
both are right.
The difference between flowers that
are grown in great numbers and those
of rarer culture is marked. For instance,
Killarney and White Killarney, still the
leaders in their colors, are so plentiful
that the quantity buyers at times can
get them at absurd prices, while the re-
tail stores pay much lower figures for
them than they did a week ago. Such
roses as Ophelia, on the other hand,
bring nearly, often quite, as much as
they did in the pre-Lenten season, be-
cause there is a good demand for them
and a much smaller supply.
Carnations have fallen in price; so
have sweet peas, and violets even more
so. Most of all the bulbous flowers have
suffered. Daffodils, tulips, yellow nar-
cissi, freesias and Paper Whites can be
purchased at extremely low prices where
a good many of them are wanted. Taken
all in all, the market is no worse than
usual during the first week of Lent,
•when values are apt to tumble, soon to
become stable on a lower level.

growers signified their intention of
standing by their associates' action at
this meeting. Fred Hahman presided.
For three hours the question of whether
a higher price could be asked and ob-
tained for pot plants was discussed, pro
and con.
While the sentiment of the meeting
from the outset appeared to be in favor
of a moderate advance in price, there
were objections. No one disputed the
fact that labor, coal, pots and many other
things made the cost of production
greater this season than it had ever been,
but some doubted — there always will be
some who doubt— whether a proportion-
ate increase in the price of the finished
product could be obtained. It is perisha-
ble, they urged, and if not sold for what
it will bring the stock is lost. It also
was urged that it was not possible to
compel the growers to stand by the ac-
tion of the meeting and ask the price
agreed upon. One speaker said that he
was not going to allow a table of plants
to spoil because the buyers would not
pay the price asked. To this Chairman
Hahman replied by asking whether the
speaker would rather sell 100 geraniums
at 7 cents each or 70 geraniums at 10
cents each. This argument proved con-
clusive to many of those present. No

one could deny that it was better to do
business at a profit than at a loss.
It was proposed to get up an agree-
ment binding all those present to sell
their plants at an increase of twenty
five per cent over last year's prices.
This was turned down on the ground
that the only true way to carry out the
plan was for each grower to feel that it
was to his interest to do so. The plan
as adopted by the meeting is that each
grower agrees to ask and to do his best
to obtain an advance of twenty-five per
cent over last year's prices on all Easter
and spring plants. The wholesale prico
on geraniums in 4-inch pots, for May
delivery, is to be $10 per hundred, in-
stead of $7 or $8 per hundred, as former-
ly. The wholesale price on all small bed-
ding plants that formerly sold at $3 per
hundred is to be $4 per hundred. The
wholesale price on Easter lilies that
formerly sold at $10 per hundred flowers
is to be $12 per hundred flowers, and so
on, in proportion. One grower told some
of his friends in the evening that he had
booked an order the day before for a
large number of 4-inch geraniums at
$100 per thousand from a customer who
paid him $75 per thousand last year.
The general feeling among the growers
regarding the effect of the meeting is
that many of the growers will stand by
the gentlemen's agreement made, and
that those who do so will benefit bv it.

market. The surplus of stock is increas-
ing and prices are slowly but surely
declining. It has been a wonderful sea-
son, so far as the steadiness of prices
is concerned, ever since the Christmas
holidays. This is the first serious reces-
sion in value. Surely this must have
been a profitable season for the growers.
The retailers have not complained of
the high rates, because the public
seemed to understand the situation.
Roses have been especially strong and
have virtually held the whole market
steady, no serious break having occurred
in any line of cut flowers. The present
week opened cold and cloudy, so the
avalanche of roses may be delayed a
little longer.
There were few special American
Beauties shipped to the New York mar-
ket last week. For the best $1 was ob-
tainable. This is an abnormal figure for
this date; so few sold at this figure that
it can hardly be calle<l a quotation.
From 75 cents down would seem a fairer
.•iverage, the "down" decreasing rapid-
ly below the 50-cent grade. Hadley spe-
cials held at the top quotation for this
popular variety. The arrivals of all
other favorite varieties are larger, and
prices of Ophelia, Sunburst, the Killar-
neys, and the other specialties are fall-
ing; $8 to $10 for the best was the price
quoted by a leading wholesaler. Some
of the short-stemmed blooms were ob-
tainable February 24 at $20 to $25 per
thousand.
There was not an excessive supply of
high grade carnations last week. The
best easily held at $3 per hundred. The
lower-quality stock sold as low as $10
per thousand. The opening sales of car-
nations this w«ek were from $1 to $3 per
hundred.

The general top is 35 cents each, except
for the selected cattleyas. Gardenias
have sold at the same figures as orchids.
Just now they are of superior quality.
Valley is somewhat higher, up again to
$4 per hundred, and even higher for
the selected. Lilies of all varieties are
lower in ]»rice and the supply of them is
larger. The quotation for toj)notch
blooms was $10 i)or hundred and from
that down to $5. Every wholesaler's win-
dow February 24 seemed crowded with
lilies. Violets are most abundant and
the prices for the surplus are low. The
street offerings are rapidly increasing.
Violets and sweet peas arc the street
men's stock in trade at present.
Tulif>s are still unpopular, being too
short of stem. Daffodils are so abundant
one almost realizes that the southern
shipments have begun. Prices for these,
freesias and Paper Whites are much
lower. Freesia shipments, especially,
are greater than the market demands.
Callas are again abundant and sweet
peas flood the market. Even the
Spencers are down to" .$1.50 per hundred.
There is the usual quantity and variety
of other seasonable flowers — lilacs,
irises, ]iansies, mignonette, calendulas,
daisies and forget-me-nots.
The market is short on Asparagus
plumosus. The sup])ly houses are hau
dling immense stocks of wild sniilax ami
ferns, and large advance orders for
Easter are already booked.

fl FOR YOUR PROTECTION, MR. FLORIST,
* ACCEPT "SUPERIORA" MAGNOLIA LEAVES ONLY
For they are endorsed by the leading wholesale trade. REFUSE IMITATIONS.
EXTRACTS FROM OUR ENDORSEMENTS
Pittsburgh Cut Slower Co., of Pittabursb, Pa., write*: "Tour
'Superlora' Magnolia Leaves are the best leaves that we have ever
handled, and we have had no complaint froni any of our customers
who bought these leaves from urn. We have stored these leaves un-
der all conditions and found that they will not mould; it is a very
satisfactory leaf indeed."
' W. Q. Potter Co.. successor to the HcCallnm Co., of Cleveland,
O., states: "Your 'Superlora' Magnolia Leaves are of the highest
obtainable quality and second to none, such as has never been on
the market before, for they are all of a one uniform size, which is
the main thing in the making of wreaths. Also your leaves are
uniform in color, which gives the finished wreath a rich tone qual-
ity, and this gets the results for the florists. Up to now all imi-
tators of your leaves have failed in producing a quality which is
worth mentioning. Every wholesale florist who wants to protect
his trade should sell only your product. We have found that you
have kept up the quality always, an^ we hope that you will con-
tinue to do so. The florists are willing to pay a few cents more per
case on your goods, which are really cheaper In comparison with
any other brands which are flooding the markets from time to
time."
Jos. O. Neldlnger Co., of Pblladelpbia, Pa., says: "We have
tried all the Magnolia Leaves that are offered, but find your leaves
to be far superior to all others, etc., etc."
The Barteldes Seed Store, of Denver, Colo., writes: "In regard
to the quality of the 'Superlora' brand of Magnolia Leaves, we
take pleasure in advising that we have found all of these leaves
which we received from you to be of an even size and medium
length. Both the size and the length being extremely uniform.
They have also reached us In pliable condition, and altogether
we have been quite well satisfied with them."
The Kervan Co., of New York City, writes: "We have handled
your Magnolia leaves for several years and we take pleasure in
announcing that our already long list of satisfied customers con-
tinues to grow. Since we have handled your leaves we have never
had a complaint, but before that there was dissatisfaction."
The Montreal Floral Exchange, Montreal, Canada, writes: "Our
business haa Increased with you this year over double of what we
purchased last season, which is a good recommendation in itself that
the trade in Canada appreciates the durability and keeping qualities
of your leaf. We appreciate the integrity, promptness and good
business methods that have characterized all your deallnga with us."
The Wm. Murphy Co., of Cincinnati, O., writes: "We find your
'Superlora' Magnolia Leaves the best product of the kind we have
ever sold, and we take pleasure In congratulating you on same and
recommending them to all in need of a first-class satisfactory
leaf."
B. E. & J. T. Cokely, of Scranton, Pa., write: "We have
always considered your Magnolia Leaves to be a standard for quality,
•ta"
The Baltimore Wholesale Florist and Supply Co.. oT Baltimore,
Md., writes: "We are confident that any other manufactured Mag-
nolia Leaves could not compete with yours, as other brands have
been offered us, which, after we tried them, we refused to carry
iB stock."
N. F. McCarthy ft Co., of Boston, Mass., write: ". . . It
is the opinion of McCarthy & Co. that your good firm prepares the
best leaf that has yet been offered in the United States. It is well
worth the difference between the prices offered by inferior manu-
facturers and your agents."
Jos. Ziska ft Sons, of Chicago, 111., write: "We feel that you
are entitled to a compliment on the good quality of your ' 'Superlora'
brand Magnolia Leaves. We have handled these goods for a long
time — In fact, we believe that we are one of the first handlers of
your goods here in Chicago, snd must say that we have as yet to
get a return of your merchandise. Even buyers that were always
accustomed to buying the foreign brands realize and admit that
your leaves are far superior."
The Cleveland Florists' Exchange, Cleveland, O., says: ". . .
never as yet have we had a complaint on the 'Superlora' brand of
Magnolia Leaves, nor a carton returned."
Smith ft Young Co., of Indianapolis, Ind., writes: "We will con-
tinue to use 'Superlora* exclusively as we consider it superior to any
other leaf in the market. Since we handle 'Superlora' we have not
bad one single complaint, etc., etc."
The I.eo NIessen Co., of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "To the best
of our knowledge your leaves are of the best quality and as aood
as we can get In the market." "
.. '*• Cleveland Cut Flower Co., of Cleveland, Ohio, writes:
. . . that we have been sending you orders for 'Superlora' brand
Magnolia Leaves for several years should prove that we like your
goods
MIchlCBD Cut Flower Exchange, Detroit, Mich., says: We have
been handling your 'Superlora' Magnolia Leaves for the past six
years and find in all this time that we have had no complaints but
many compliments on these goods., etc., etc."
Jos. B. Koppelman, of Providence. B. I., writes: "We feel that
we can sell your leaves to people who have used them ones without
any trouble. They rather pay the difference than to buy other
leaves elsewhere, etc. etc"
McAlplne ft McDonald, of Boston, Mass., write: "In answer
to your letter of January 5th, requesting our endorsement on
•Superlora' Magnolia Leaves, would say that you mtlght put us
down as saying that we have found them a most satiii<actory leaf
in every respect, our trade being well pleased with them. We also
wish to say that our business dealings with the Dr. H. Dux Co.
have been the finest ever."
New Engrland FloMst Supply^ Co., oT Boston, Mass., writes: "Have
found 'Superlora' Magnolias the best leaves on the market. The
sales on this leaf have been growing with the same rapidity as our
business."
Wm. F. Kaatlng Co., of BnlTalo, N. T., writes: "Have always
found that the 'Superlora' brand gives our customers entire satisfac-
tion; in fact, they are the best leaves we have been able to obtain
in the last few years."
Bnssin ft Hanfling, of New York City, write: "In response to
your letter of recent date, it gives us great pleasure to state that
we have been very much satisfied with the quality of your 'Supe-
rlora' brand Magnolia Leaves. We have tried the Magnolias of
several other manufacturers, but in consequence we find your
leaves to be pre-eminent to all others placed upon the market,
particularly with the view that your leaves are all of one uniform
color, as well as being pliable and non-moulding."
Henry M. Robinson ft Co., of Boston, Mass., write: "We are
pleased to state that the quality of your leaves is certainly the best
ever manufactured In this country, and it is a pleasure to offer such
stock for sale, etc."
Beed ft Keller, of New York City, say: ". . . and we beg
leave to acknowledge receipt of your last shipment of ' Magnoliaa,
and we are indeed pleased to say that they are superior in every
way. We further state that our experience in leaves from other
dealers has been very unsatisfactory; colors vary and leaves mould
quickly, etc."
The Dale Estate, of Brampton, Ont., writes: "We are glad te
state that any 'Superlora' leaves that we have had in the past
were always as reported and gave satisfaction in our business."
Geo. H. Angennneller, of St. Louis, Mo., says: "It pleases me
to say that I have worked up a splendid business on your 'Superlora'
Magnolia Leaves, and I credit my success to the fact that the quality
of your leaves has always been entirely satisfactory to my customers,
etc."
Oscar Lelstner, of Chicago, HI., writes: ". . . As you kaow,
before you gave us the sole agency for the Western country, we were
handling a different leaf, but these leaves gave us no end of trouble
and our customers were very much disappointed with the quality.
Since we have been handling your leaves we find that the complaints
from our customers have entirely disappeared, and the trade seems
anxious to buy your leaves exclusively. Only today one of our cus-
tomers told us that he had bought 100 cartons of Magnolias from
one of your competitors, but that he has been compelled to return
them, as his customers absolutely refused to accept them, due to the
fact that the leaves are 'off-color' as well as mouldy, etc."
New York Florists' Snpply Co., of New York City, writes: "Since
we have been handling your 'Superlora' Magnolia Leaves we have
had no complaints about the quality, and can assure you that in
our Judgment they are fully up to the standard of the best im-
ported." /
C. E. Critchell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, writes: "My customers insist
on having the 'Superiors' brand of Magnolias, as they claim these
are the best, and that they do not dry out or become mouldy, and
that every leaf can be used, and when this is taken into considera-
tion, they are also the cheapest, besides being the best"
The McCallnm Co., of Pittsburgh, Pa., says: "Other Magnolia
preparers have tried to induce us to stock up their goods 'Just as
good as Dux's' at a cheaper price, but we have In each instance told
them frankly that it was a case of quality with us, and that we did
not think their leaf would give the satisfaction yours did. We con-
sider our Magnolia trade one of the best assets of our business and
will not take a chance of losing it; in fact, our traveling men are
often greeted as 'Magnolia Kings.' "
L. Banmann ft Co., of Chicago, 111., write: "We regard your
'Superlora' Magnolia Leaves as being unequaled and certainly
would not want to have anything else. Your leaves need no recom-
mendation— they speak for themselves."

The Club's Carnation Exhibit.
The meeting of the Toledo Florists'
Club held at the Helmer flower store
was devoted entirely to carnation
exhibits, the intention being to bring
the members together and to show them
the progress made by noteworthy carna-
tion hybridizers. It is to be regretted
that the attendance was not so large as
expected, that the novelties shown could
not be appreciated by a larger number
of growers. However, what the attend-
ance lacked in numbers was balanced by
the enthusiasm of those present, and the
food seed sown is bound to tell in the
uture.^
The 'distributors of novelties were
asked to show a few flowers of their new
introductions. Those requested were
most generous in sending good flowers,
but, unfortunately, two shipments did
not arrive the day of the meeting, that

from Baur & Steinkamp, of Indianapolis,
Ind., of Merry Christmas, and that from
A. N. Pierson, Inc., of Cromwell, Conn.,
of Arawana. But we had the pleasure
of examining Thenanthos, by the A. L.
Randall Co., of Chicago; Radium, by
P. J. dinger, of Newcastle, Ind.;
Cornell, by Ira G. Marvin, of Wilkes-
Barre, Pa.; Superb, by the J. D. Thomp-
son Carnation Co., of Joliet, 111.
The varieties Superb and Thenanthos
arrived in splendid condition and were
much admired. Superb had stems three
feet long and scored ninety-three points.
The color is a beautiful salmon pink.
The shape and substance of the flower
are good in every way and this variety
undoubtedly will be heard from later
on. Thenanthos had the best red color
ever seen here, and stood up well, on
long, wiry stems. The flower is extra
large, double and has a delicious odor.
It was a revelation to see such good
qualities combined. It did not, however,
score so high as Superb, but received
eighty-nine points.
Cornell and Radium arrived in poor
shape and could not be judged. What
there was of them showed good color,
good stem and fair size.
Why Not "Minimum Prices"?
Business has been good with everyone,
but as to whether we make more money
is a question that cannot be answered.
The prices of our products have not ad-
vanced in the same ratio as those of
other goods. When will the florist real-
ize that he must advance his prices if he
wants to cover his expenses and have
something left! To a few who have
done so it has been just as easy to raise

Various Notes.
Toledo news now is centered in coal
and its various phases. We are down
on the dealers for disregarding their
contracts. We have to pay the same
fancy prices as all the rest, but seem
to be better off than other sections.
Anyhow, formerly we could always se-
cure coal in time, without any trouble.
There has been a great agitation re-
garding the Ohio law which compels us
to have licensed firemen for boilers over

THE INDUSTRIOUS MISSOURIANS.
The St. Louis Flower Show Associa-
tion is now finishing the details for
the spring show to be held at St. Louis
March 15 to 18. It no doubt Avill bo a
huge success.
Manager Jules Bourdet and Secretary
W. W. Ohlweiler are two exceedingly
busy persons, putting the finishing
touches here, or settling some diflBcult
proposition that has loomed up; in fact,
there is a continuous buzz evident when-
ever you get into cither's office.
The finances of the St. Louis Flower
Show Association are in perfect shape.
They are in the hands of W. A. Bowe.
It is superfluous to state that things will
be properly taken care of; Mr. Kowe's
manner of diplomatically evading exces-
sive expenses and at the same time satis-
fying everyone makes his ability invalu-
able to the committee.
August II. Hummert must be com-
mended for his work as chairman of the
guarantee fund committee. This means
hard worlc from the start, and uphill
work. Many talks and pleas must be
made, to secure all of the money essen-
tial to make a show possible through a
guarantee fund; but with a talking won-
der like Mr. Hummert, anything is pos-
sible.
Alex. Lurie, chairman of the premium
committee, reports everything com-
pleted on his work. He also should be
commended for his invaluable services.
The special premiums are still coming in,
is the information from George B.
Windier, and, seemingly, there will be
a lot of specials.
The work of admissions is left in the
hands of a man of experience at many
past shows, Carl Beyer, who states that
there will be many tickets distributed to
charity, school children, etc. His task
is one that will need his vast experience
and good judgment.
The best florists' supply and florists'
accessory concerns have rented their
exhibit space. W. J. Pilcher, who is
chairman of this committee, has done
wonderful work in securing the desired
class of trade exhibitors and in satisfy-
ing the exhibitors to the last detail.

flowery "jazzes" for the younger set
of St. Louis society.
The question of more retail exhibits
is one of great importance. For this rea-
son F. C. Weber, Jr., chairman of the
retail exhibits, has been exceptionally
busy getting the retail florists interested
in making elaborate exhibits. He re-
ports that he has met with great success.
There will be more and better retail dis-
plays than usual. The retail florists are
enthusiastic, says Mr. Weber, and any
who fail to be interested to the close of
the show will regret their folly later on.
L. P. Jensen, chairman of the private
gardens committee, has formulated a
plan that has interested all of the pri-
vate gardeners and will prove success-
ful in enhancing the attractiveness of
the show.
W. C. Smith, who is chairman of the
exhibition and hall committee, through
his untiring efforts has lessened the
troubles of the executive committee a
great deal. His precision and knowl-
edge are a great aid to the committee.
This exhibition will have many fea-
tures that will mark it as a unique
show. All florists and other interests
in close touch with St. Louis at times
should be well represented.
We welcome all visitors.

Publicity Chairman.
COTTON SEED AS FERTILIZER?
I am sending you some sweet peas
under separate cover and would like to
have you tell me what is the matter
with them. Half of the soil in which
they are growing is well rotted cotton
seed and sand, the other half being fair,
sandy loam. They have had plenty of
water and are full of buds. The buds
start to open and get about as far as
those I am sending, when they go to
seed without opening any farther. The
vines are about ten feet in height and
seem to be in good condition. I had
flowers from them for about ten days
and then they began seeding.
L. G. P.— Tex.
Not having tried decayed cotton seed
as a sweet pea fertilizer, I am unable
to speak as to its qualities, but I should
say that if you used as much of it as
you did soil there would be a decided
excess of fertilizer. This would cause a
strong growth of haulm at the expense
of flowers. The soil evidently is lack-
ing in some element when the flowers
fail to develop. Cotton seed can hardly
be considered as desirable a fertilizer

SAVE THE POTS.
Prior to this j'car of grace pots have
been so plentiful and cheap that they
have been treated as of little value. Now
it is different, however; pots are scarce,
worth saving and careful cleaning, for a
dirty pot is not safe for a second using.
In England the pot problem and the
necessity for economy is even greater
than in America and the following note
from a British chronicle will be of in-
terest:
"Pot Avashing ranks today, as it ever
has done, among the most menial of a
gardener's duties, reserved generally for
wet and frosty days, and for the least
skillful of the gardening staff. Unloved
at any time, it is particularly so in times
of frost, unless heated potting shed or
convenience in boiler shed exists for
the work. For a considerable number
of years, however, pot washing by hand
has been entirely dispensed with by
many growers. It was done just as ef-
fectually, and far more cheaply, by the
elements. The finishing of crops of
chrysanthemums or carnations always
released a few thousand pots, and these,
freed of soil, were taken direct to the
then vacant standing ground and ar-
ranged close together. A few weeks
thus exposed to the weather wrought a
great cliange, l^he interiors being usually
as clean as if thoroughly scrubbed. In-
verting the batch, the exteriors were ex-
posed, with similar cleansing results,
frost playing a most important part in
freeing them from moss or vegetable ac-
cumulations of any kind. In this way
thousands of pots were cleansed at prac-
tically no cost, and the cleansing was
even more thorough and complete than in
ordinary washing. In addition, the pots
are appreciably hardened by the expo-
sure, while materially sweetened — dis-
infected if you will — by the action of
the frost. In any case it is worthy of
general adoption as a time-saver alone.
The idea originally came from observ-
ing the cleanness of the exposed portions

ST. LOUIS.
The Market.
The wliolcsalers had an exceedingly
good week, considering that Lent began
February 21. The bright weather dur-
ing the week caused large consignments
to come in daily, especially of violets.
These constituted a glut* and sold as low
as $2 per thousand, the extra blooms
bringing 35 cents per hundred; as a re-
sult thousands were sold to the largo
flower stores downtown and were dis-
posed of at 10 cents per bunch of twenty-
five.
Kosps are in large demand, but they
continue to be scarce. It seems as
though all the rose growers are off crop
at the same time. Good blooms of Kil-
larney, Russell, Ward, Sunburst, Ophelia
and Beauty sell at sight, at top prices.
Carnations have been holding their own,
the jiricps during the latter part of the
week dropping to $3 for the choice
blooms. For the inferior grades $2 was
asked. Of these the supply has been
large, but the best have cleaned up al-
most daily. Tlie Encliantrcss varieties
continue in the majority. In reds some
excellent Beacons are seen, and in the
dark pinks Ward sells well.
There now are plenty of Easter lilies
and carllas, which experience a splendid
call at $10 per hundred. Some excellent
valley was seen last week, and it prom-
ises to be in good supply from now on.
There is almost a glut of sweet peas and
only the choice butterfly blooms have the
call and demand any price. The short,
common varieties sell slowly at not more
than 25 cents per hundred. The fancy,
long-stemmed peas make 75 cents to $1.
Bulbous stock is coming in heavily;
large quantities of tulips, jonquils. Paper
Whites and freesias are seen daily at
the various wholesale establisliments.
In greens asparagus is extremely scarce,
both pliimosus and Sprengeri; of other
greens the supply is good and tlio de-
mand is large.
Association Meeting.
The meeting of the Retail Florists'
Association was held February 19 at the
Mission Inn Garden. The attendance
was good and a great deal of interest
was manifested in the proceedings.
President Young opened the meeting,

and after all committees had reported,
the election of officers for the ensuing
year took ])laee. The balloting resulted
in tlie choice of the following: Presi-
dent, F. H. Weber; vice-president, Theo-
dore Miller; secretary, Marion Uhl-
scliniidt; treasurer, Fred C. Weber, Jr.
The new officers, even as the old, are re-
garded as hustlers.
It was decided by vote to offer $150
in prizes at the spring flower show. A
committee was appointed to handle the
funds, of which Vincent Gorly was made
chairman. A general discussion of St.
Valentine's day business took place, and
all agreed that business for that day
was better than that of any previous
year.
Various Notes.
A new pot concern, to be known as
the St. Louis Pottery & Mfg. Co., has
been formed, with offices and factory in
the city. August Vollmer, Jr., head of
the company, says that they have many
local orders booked and that the force
is working full time.
The St. Louis Florists' Club will hold
an important meeting March 8, as this
date is only one week before the open-

ing of the spring flower show^. The place
of the meeting will be decided at a meet-
ing of the officers sometime this week.
William Bouche and M. Metzger are
hard at work in the Delmar garden con-
structing the rustic features in the deco-
rations for the spring flower show.
David Geddis, head of the committee,
says the decorations will cost $1,000.
George Wagner, manager of the de-
sign department at Grimm & Gorly's,
is suffering from a large carbuncle,
which greatly handicaps him in his
work, but he stuck to his post all the
week.
A committee headed by Vincent Gorly
was successful in securing the assent of
Miss Ella Grant Wilson, of Cleveland,
to speak here on publicity March 5. Mr.
Gorly says that efforts are being made
to secure Mission Inn Garden for this
meeting, to which all florists in the city
and vicinity are invited.
Edward Rodgers, well known in the
trade as a wireworker, left February
25 for Casey, 111., to take a position with
the Young Tool Co.
The following is a list of trade ex-
hibitors at the spring flower show, as
handed to me by Chairman Pilcher; all
have taken rooms adjoining the main
hall: Lord & Burnham Co., J. C. Mon-
inger Co., Poehlmann Bros. Co., Ameri-
can Greenhouse Mfg. Co., St. Louis Seed
Co., Vaughan's Seed Store, Guy Reburn,
American Bulb Co., Knight & Struck Co.
and Schloss Bros. Mr. Pilcher says
there are a few more to hear from, and
that these no doubt will come into the
fold this week. This will about use up
all available space for the trade's dis-
play.
Allen Humason, representing the
Eaedlein Basket Co., of Chicago, spent
a few days here this week showing a
nice line of samples at the Jefferson
hotel.

It represented Washington's home at
Mount Vernon. Martin Seeger, head of
this branch, says business has been ex-
cellent since the first of the year.
The St. Louis County Growers' Asso-
ciation will hold an important meeting
at the Eleven Mile House March 7. Sec-
retary Deutschmann says every member
should attend, as the spring flower show
is only a week oflF, and the association is
much interested in the show's success.
Paddy Patton, of Smith 's, had this to
say last week: "Here's the only way
to beat the high cost of living: The less
you sleep, the less you eat. Therefore
the best way to beat the game is to stay
awake all the time; but it will require
time to wean me from that grand old in-
door sport. '^ J. J. B.

Warmer weather, which hastened
stock into crop, added to the coming of
Lent, has caused a weakening of the
market, but as yet there is no glut and
business is holding up well. The tre-
mendous increase m the cost of many

of lifo is also, no doubt, hurting in some
degree the sale of flowers. Koses are
now of superb quality and are coming
In much more freely. Hadley is par-
ticularly fine and sells at higher prices
than any other liybrid tea. Ophelia is
good, as is Russell, while Killarnfys,
^[illor, Sunburst, Ward, Hoosier Beauty,
Francis Scott Key and Shawycr are at
their best. Prices show a weakening,
liowevor, especially on White Killarney.
Carnations also are lower. A few fancy
flowers make $5 or even $6, but the gen-
eral a'.oragc now is $2. All stock is of
excollent quality. Violets are arriving
nuicli more freely, but sell fairly well.
Englisli primroses in several colors are
quite popular.
Bulbous stock is overabundant and
increasingly difficult to clean uj) at sat-
isfactory prices. With milder weather,
snapdragons are coming in a little more
freely. In addition to Avliite freesias,
a good many of tlie colored varieties are
now seen and are popular at the better
stores. Anemones are coming in quite
freely. Sweet peas are seen in great
abundance and are of splendid quality,
$2 ]ier hundred lioing the highest price
obtained for fancy Spencers. Lily of
the valley is not of good quality and
sells somewhat slowly. Easter lilies sell
a little better. Some speciosum lilies
are seen, but only in small quantities.
Good assortments of miscellaneous flow-
ers now are offered. There is an abun-
dant supply of gardenias. Cattleya
Triana^ orcjiids sell at .$5 and $6 per
dozen and are in good supply. Pot
plant trade is fairly good.
Some Prizes at Future Shows.
The Massachusetts Horticultural So-
ciety has announced a number of spe-
cial prizes for exhibits from foreign
growers of bulbs for the March show
in 1918. Gold medals are offered for
twenty-five varieties of hyacinths, 100
varieties of narcissi, fifty varieties of
single early tulips and 100 varieties of
late tulips. The bulbs can be flowered
near Boston. Another gold medal is
offered for a collection of bulbous and
tuberous plants, in competition for

duction in America.
rionerons prizes are offered for an iris
garden in 1919, a rose garden in 1920,
a collection of lilacs in flower in 1921
and a fruit garden in 1922. Full do-

Matchless carnations. He is getting
sweet peas of excellent quality, the fin-
est seen here this season. He is also
picking quantities of primroses and
polyanthus in blue, pale yellow and deep
yellow, which prove to be great sellers.
Mr. Sim also has fine mignonette and is
growing a quantity of auricula.
H. J. Borowski & Sons, of Roslindale,
have one of the best kept commercial
establishments near Boston. They make
a specialty of cyclamens and their plants
are of fine quality. They have just pur-
chased a Commerce Service motor truck
on which they can carry a double tier
of plants for their store trade.
At the Houghton-Gorney store, on Tre-
mont street, some finely flowered plants
of Jasminum primulinum make attrac-
tive window objects. Anemones,
pansies, cornflowers, marguerites, laslias,
leptosynes, acacias and other flowers are
effectively used in baskets or large bou-
quets.
A. A. Pembroke, of North Beverly,
never had finer carnations than this sea-
son. His Good Cheer and Pink Sensa-
tion are better than a year ago and
bring fancy prices. Of his new Benora
sport, which is much larger than Benora
and deeper in color, he says he will
liave 2,000 plants next season. He will
also have about 1,000 White Benora.
Matchless is grown in quantity and looks
fine. Champion, Beacon, Rosette, Alice
and Pink Delight are other varieties
grown. Lady Northcliffe, a beautiful
salmon variety, is in splendid crop.
White Wonder still is retained as a
profitable variety.
Wax Bros, sell quantities of such
high-grade carnations as Pink Sensation,
Good Cheer, Rosette and Champion.
Among roses, Ophelia, Russell and Had-
loy are leading sellers. They specialize
in pansics, violets and English prim-
roses in large biinehcs and use butter-
flies more freely in their windows than
any other florists here.
McAlpine Bros., Exeter, N. H., are
shipping an unusually high grade of
roses, including Hadley, Crimson Queen,
Ophelia, Sunburst, Killarney Queen and
Double White Kiilarney.
John J. O'Brien, of 82 Beacon street,
is one of the local retailers who sells an
immense quantity of high-grade plants,
having an exclusive Back Bay trade to
cater to. There is always something
good and original to be seen at his store.
Thomas Roland is cutting some splen-
did sweet peas from one of his big
Revere houses. His roses also are in
good crop.

Business last week was, on the whole,
not satisfactory, and was stimulated
only slightly by the decorative work in-
cidental to Washington's birthday. Fu-
neral work was light and the vicissitu-
dinal weather had its effect on local
trade.
Bulbous flowers arrive in a flood, but
they are welcome because of their use-
fulness in funeral work. The receipts
of roses are satisfactory and the good
blooms experience a ready sale. In addi-
tion to an adequate supply of violets,
orchids and roses, a limited number of
good fuchsias are oflfered. There have

Seed Trade News
AMERICAN SEED TRADE ASSOCIATION.
President, Kirby B. White, Detroit, Mich.:
Secretary-Treasurer, C. B. Kendel, Oleveland, O.
Tliirty-flftli annual convention, Detroit, June 19
Thkre is a pure seed bill pending in
the Texas legislature.
Oniox sets continue to advance in
price and are now bringing $5 per bushel
in large lots.
California growers graduallv arc cap-
turing business, liecont progress in that
direction includes radish and tomato.
This sums up the market: Clover,
active and higlier; timothy, steady; al-
sike, liigher; American-grown alfalfa,
firm.
Thk Swep. Taylor Seed Co., .Fackson,
Miss., has received an order from the
state amounting to over $17,000, for
seeds to be used at public institutions.
The Xungcsser-Dickinson Seed Co.,
New York, says: "Owing to heavy con-
gestion of freight on all railroads, we
advise early forwarding of shipments."
W. F. Pitts, formerly m;in;iger of the
Luthci' liurbiink Co., wliidi went into
bankruptcy, has opem d a seed store on
Market street, San Finncisco, under the
name of Pitts Seed iSc Nursery Co.
The Smith Seed & Feed Co., Danville,
Va., hns let coiitrru-ts for a new building
to cost between .$];"). OOO and $20,000, in
whicli the seed ami iiiiplemcnt dejjart-
nients, now in different locations, will
be consolidated.
Ne\vspapki:s ami civic organizations
are bestirring themselves and back yard
and vacant lot vegetable gardening is
being advocated as never before. It will
mean a greatly increased demand on the
consignment box seeds.
.TOHX .T. CiAiM.AXi). formerly assistant
secretary of the Wisconsin Agricidtural
Experiment Association, has lieen engaged
by the Ilolnies-Letherman Seed Co., Can-
ton, O., to take charge of the trial
grounds and seed growing work on its
recently acfjuirc^d farm.
The Holland-AmcMira line recalled the
big S. S. Nieuw Amsterdam after it had
sailed from Kotterdam last week an<l the
cable reported that a jiart of the cargo
was being transferred to a smaller boat.
There were large quantities of gladiolus
bullis on board, one Dutch house havintr
400 cases, and it is estimated the total
quantity may run as high as 7,000,000.
DAILY PRESS NOTES CONDITIONS.
Predictions that crops this year would
show a marked increase over the 191G
outjiut. because farmers, tein{)ted by the
prevailing high jirices for their i)ro(lucts,
would jilant mucdi greater acieages, are
not borne out l)y conditions ])revailing in
the seed trade, says the New York Jour-
nal of Commerce.
Prices of seeds have followed the lead
set by vegetables and in most instances
are at the highest range on record. Va-
rieties of corn selling a year ago at $3.50
to $4 a bushel are now quoted at $6 to
$7 a bushel. For the finer grades the
quotations run from $10 to $13.50 a
bushel and almost as great advances
have been made by the majority of veg-
etable seeds.

Containing Latest Novelties
ONE of the interesting things about our
business is, that every so often a man
who for years has been buying cer-
tain seeds from us, will stop for a season
and try some other seeds.
In nine cases out of ten, however, back he
comes the next year and buys a larger as-
sortment than ever.
It's like a fellow's going away from home
for a time— when he comes back, he appre-
ciates the home as he never did before.
Whether you are one of our stick-tight cus-
tomers, an entirely new one, or an old one
returning to the fold, you will find the 1917
catalogue has the usual number of goodly
new things. Things that have been tried
and tested as only Sutton's try and test. It's
this continual painstaking trying and testing
that makes Sutton's seeds dependable.
Our catalogue is so elaborate and expensive
to produce, that you will readily appreciate
why we make a small charge of 35c for a
copy; but this is promptly refunded when
your orders amount to $5.00 or more.

his acreage, seedsmen say, will be
checked not only by the cost of securing
a supply of seed, but by the increased
price of farm labor and of fertilizers as
well.
In explanation of the rise of seed
prices, dealers say that the primary
cause is the actual shortage, which in
turn is due to several conditions. In-
stead of holding back the usual propor-
tion of their crops for seed last year,
the farmers are said to have been lured
by the demand at high prices and to
have sold most of the portions that they
usually held back for seeding. The em-
bargoes put by most of the European
nations on the export of seed have been
another contributing factor and the un-
favorable weather of 1916 also played
a large part in bringing about the pres-
ent conditions.
"But the predominant cause is actual
shortage," said a member of one of the
largest seed firms in New York. ' * There
was not one good vegetable seed crop
in 1916. Hay and tobacco were the only
good crops of the year. These condi-
tions are, of course, reflected in the
range of seed prices this year.
"So acute is the shortage in some
lines that one firm is sending out to its
customers, as its annual souvenir, beans
mounted as stickpins.

"As an instance of tlie growth of the
shortage in practically all lines, take our
catalogue for 1917. Althougli tliis has
been out only a short time, it has been
necessary to make three revisions in
prices so far, and, of course, each revi-
sion has been at an advance over the
previous one.
' ' The foreign situation has had a
marked influence on conditions too. In
previous years most of the spinach seed
has come from Holland; but now an em-
bargo has been placed on exports of the
seed. In this country the spinach grow-
ing center is around Norfolk, Va., and
usually at this time of year we have a
salesman down there. We have sent
none this year, however, for we have
not got the stock to sell. If we had, there
would be no trouble in disposing of 100,-
000 pounds at $1 a pound, double last
year's quotation.
"The scarcest seeds this year are
spinach, beans, peas, sweet corn, pota-
toes and onions. There is enough of the
other general run of varieties to go
round, but at much higher prices than
normal.
"One result of the scarcity is likely to
be seen in higher prices for pickling, as
the big firms in that industry have been
unable to get seed of the kind of onions
they need. Tlie demand for canning in-
dustries has been a factor also in keep-
ing prices up.
"Market gardeners have been hit by
the shortage of labor, as well as of seed.
There will probably be a much reduced
crop this year of radishes, beets, onioas,
lettuce, carrots and ])arsnips, because the
market gardener will be unable to secure
the manual labor necessary to raise these
products.
"Seed potatoes have been raised in
price three times this year and are now
selling at $10 a barrel, as compared with
$4 to $5 at this time last year.
"There is no likelihood of a reduc-
tion in prices until the 1917 supply of
seed is received."
THE TEXAS ONIONS.
The U. S. Bureau of Crop Estinntes
has issued a special report on the Texas
Bermuda onion crop, showing its average
condition before the freeze to have been
eighty-seven per cent, and its condition
after the cold had passed sixty-nine per
cent.
The truck crop specialist of the bu-
reau, who is now making a tour of the
onion fields of Texas, reports that the
onions in Nueces county are at a stand-
still on account of the drought, but that
no damage was caused by the cold wave
of February 1 to February 6. In the
lower Eio Grande valley the onions were
slightly damaged by the cold wave, but

Burpee's Seeds Grow
New
Aster
American Beauty
MERICAN grown Aster seed is
now acknowledged to be so
vastly superior to European grown
seed that there is no reason why
European grown seed should be at
all considered. Even in the
Early Queen of the Market
type, American grown seed
has been found superior to
European. The Royal and
Crego types closely follow
Queen of the Market, and
these are fallowed by the
Late Branching types.
Burpee's New American
Beauty Aster is in type of
growth and form of tlower
similar to the Late Branching, but
differs in that all the large blos-
soms are produced on much longer
and heavier stems. In some in-
stances stems measure more than two feet
in length. It has the longest blooming
period of any Aster that we know of. The
large double Howers are of a bright car-
mine-rose, almost identical with the World's Famous American
Beauty Rose. Mr. Fred Howard, of Howard & Smith, Los Angeles,
Cal, writes March 29, 1916, in reference to American Beauty Aster:
"It is, in my opinion, one of the most remarkable Asters which has come under my notice. The
plants attain a height of some four feet and the flowers are borne singly at the ends of stems
which attain a length of thirty to thirty-six inches. The most remarkable feature to be noted regarding
this Aster is the length of time which it remains in flower. The plants at our nursery came into bloom
during the month of July and we were still cutting from them late in September. It is unlikely that they
would come into bloom so early under Eastern conditions, but if they come in later I have no doubt the
season during whicn they flower would be equivalent. The stems are absolutely non-lateral branching.
The flowers attain an enormous size, owing to the fact that the entire sap flow is diverted to the one
terminal bud or flower. The color is a distinct shade of carmine-rose. The addition of new colors to this
new type of Asters will, in my opinion, prove to be a strain of great merit."
Burpee's American Beauty Aster is illustrated in color on the front cover of Burpee's Annual for
1917, and now that we have harvested a little more seed than was estimated we have decided to offer it
to the Florist trade. This superb Aster should have a place in every Aster field. It will certainly
prove its superior merit.

at Laredo they appear to have suffered
considerably more, especially the earlier
plantings. The later plantings are not
materially hurt. The specialist also
states that apjiarently the thrips have
not caused any damage, as most fields
appear free from the pest. The pink
root seems to be general at Laredo, but
the damage will depend on weather con-
ditions at the time the onions begin to
bulb. Tt is estimated that the crop is
three weeks later than last year.
Correspondents in Frio county report
that onions suffered severely in this dis-
trict. Due to the fact that no rain ac-
companied the cold wave, the tops of the
onions were cut to tlie ground and the
efforts of the plants to make Tiew tops
will be retarded by thrips, which have
made their appearance.
In Dimmit county it is estimated by
some reporters that about ten per cent
of the late jilantings were killed by the
cold wave and the crop will be set back
fifteen days or more. The ravages of
the thrips seem to have been checked by
the cold wave.
Tn Zavalla county it is estimated that
the crop has been damaged about twen-
ty five per cent by the cold wave, but it
is stated that, on account of weather
conditions, no reliable information can
be had at this time concerning the dam-
age done.

LOS ANGELES.
The Market.
While field carnations and a few other
cheap items have become more plenti-
ful, the demand for this grade of stock,
until about February 20, more than kept
up with the demand for the better grades
of flowers. Good freesias, daffodils and
jonquils have been especially scarce and
difficult to obtain. Outdoor roses are
still practically out of the market, and
there are few Cecile Bruuner roses to
be had. Indoor roses and carnations
have been more plentiful, but there still
is a marked scarcity and prices are well
maintained.
Violets continue the only cheap cor-
sage flowers, though there is a little val-
ley being offered by the wholesalers.
Cornflowers are scarcer than usual at
this time of the year; owing to the
cold nights they do not open freely.
Greens are in large demand and of
fairly good quality.
Plants that missed the earlier market
now are coming in freely, and it is a
good sign that they are moving well.
The scarcity of good cut flowers may
have something to do with this, but one
good effect is to interest the people in
plants, which have usually sold freely
only at holiday times. A" scarcity has
developed in the better class of shrubs
and fruit-tree branches, there being a
large demand for these for decorations.
Various Notes.
S. M. Uyematser, proprietor of the
Star Nursery at Montebello, was the
victim of a cowardly assault recently
w^hile on his way home. Some thugs had
placed a Montebello "jitney" sign on a
car and Mr. Uyematser and a friend got
in. When about halfway out, the high-
waymen tore off the sign and robbed
Mr. Uyematser of his money, after beat-
ing him severely about the face.
Wright's Flower Shop windows are
gay with bright red azaleas, which are
selling freely, but which would have
been a gold mine at Christmas. The
name, Christmas Red, does not say
much, but the color has Mme. Petrick
and other Christmas varieties backed off
the boards.
Howard & Smith are sending in splen-
did stock from the nursery at Monte-
bello, the bulbous items, spring flowers
and fruit blossoms making a delightful
siiowing in the big store.
Murata & Co. are doing a large local
business in flowering plants and palms;
also shipping small and medium-sized
stock. The cut flower shipments hold
up well.
The store of the California Cut Flower
& Evergreen Co., on Seventh street, now
is most attractive and business is re-
ported good.
J. W. Wolters has had several good
decorations of late, and his staff has
boon on the jump.
George Eischen is more than satisfied
with the business in his new store at
Venice, and says that things are moving
lively at Ocean Park.
In a dispute between brothers, which
has caused quite a little talk of late,
Bernard Tassano, of the Santa Cruz
Evergreen Co., obtained a judgment
against Tassano Bros, for money he
claimed was due to him.
J. Dieterich has been handling a line
of well flowered azaleas, the plants being
held over from last year. They were
grown at his nursery at Montebello.
The L. A. Floral Co. continues to send
out large consignments daily, plant ship-
ments as well as cut flowers being in-
cluded. Manager Fred Sperry is a true
optimist and his personality is writ
large at the establishment he controls
so well.
George Levai, of El Paso, Tex., hit
town this week. He was looking up
stock for his increasing business.
Albert Weedall, of Bakersfield, was
among the visitors last week. Everyone
sympathizes with him and Mrs. Weedall
in the continued illness of their daugh-
ter.
C. W. Wooden says he is well satis-
fied with his start at the Abbey Flower
Shop.
Mr. and Mrs. Michael Bloy, of Detroit,
Mich., are in the city on a vacation. Mr.
Bloy says that it will not be long be-
fore he pulls his stakes at Detroit and
conies to southern California.

THE HOME OF ASTERS
i. .in*-«r«»;'*, ,-.-■ •Sti^'^f-
The men who know from experi-
ence the value of good aster seed
and where to buy it, are not neg-
lecting their opportunity to supply
themselves with this stock.
A dollar invested in good seed
goes farther toward insuring profit-
able returns to the planter than
anything you can do, and a large
majority of our customers have
increased their orders over last
year so as to supply their increas-
ing demand for good quality asters.
To avoid disappointment, please
take notice when ordering that
owing to the very unexpected in-
crease in demand, our stock of seed
is all sold except a limited quan-
tity of the following varieties and
colors :

pour had a tendency to put everyone in
good spirits. The precipitation had
been below normal for the season, and
the rain that swept the state beginning
February 18 meant millions of dollars
to the farmers with early crops, as it w-is
sufficient to drench the ground in fine
shape. Outdoor flowers will be greatly
benefited, jiarticularly violets. Social
functions have been many and the de-
Jjiand for all sorts of decorations has
been large. Stock offerings, with the ex-
ception of roses, meet the requirements
fairly well. As yet the rose scarcity has
not been relieved; if anything, the short-
age is even more acute than it was the
week previous. There are few roses to
be had, wliether good, bad or indiffer-
ent. American Beauties are a minus
quantity. However, the rose situation
is expected to improve within the next
few days, as some growers have good
crops coming on.
Caniations are plentiful and leave
nothing to be desired in quality. There
is an abundance of good violets. The
supply of indoor sweet peas is about
all the market can stand. Peas bring
$1 per hundrcf^, wliich is unusually high
for this flower in the local market. It
is a cheap flower in summer and its cul-
tivation under glass for the winter trade
is a new venture, but one which seems
to be meeting with success, as it is
found that the public will pay the high
prices. Some nice Easter lilies appear,
and the market could probably absorb
a few more. There are no callas, on ac-

count of the frost. Orchids and gar-
denias are on the short side of the mar-
ket again, and the supply of valley has
dropped off. Bulbous stock continues to
improve in quality and increase in quan-
tity, although the stems are still rather
short. Owing to the recent freeze in
the southeast, a good deal of Asparagus
plumosus has been shipped from here
to the middle west, on new accounts,
leaving the local market unusually short.

The Florists^ Review
March 1, 1917.
in the Bellevue hotel building, just
across the street from the Clift hotel.
They find that the patronage from the
two hotels alone is large. Miss Murray
recently opened a store on Geary street,
near Larkin street, and is now giving it
her full attention, as she found it diffi-
cult to divide her time between the two
places.
David Lichtenstein was operated upon
for appendicitis a few days ago and is
reported doing nicely. While he is in-
cai)acitated his wife is looking after the
business. Mrs. Lichtenstein had just re-
turned from a little trip when her hus-
band was taken ill.
Frank Claverie, for nine years with
the American Florist, on Polk street, re-
cently took over the business of the
Bianchini Co., at 1457 Polk street. He
is satisfied with his new venture, as
business to date has been much better
tliau he anticipated.
Mrs. R. E. Darbee shipped many vio-
lets for St. Valentine's day and now is
enjoying a good shipping business. She
has a 15-acre field devoted to violets on
her ranch at Colma, and the flowers are
now at their best- Mrs. Darbee reports
business excellent at her store on Hyde
street. She has been featuring fruit
blossoms with good success.
Albert O. Stein recently took a little
pleasure trip to Stockton and Napa. He
was gone three days and greatly en-
joyed the respite from business. The
force at the Stein establishment has
been unusually busy with decorations
for receptions, weddings, dinners, etc.
Owing to a scarcity of orchids, orders
were turned down for corsages for the
Mardi Gras February 20. Quantities
of fruit blossoms were used at a Palace
hotel Avedding this week.
The E. W. McLellan Co. has two
houses of Auierican Beauties and expects
to begin cutting a nice crop soon, ac-
cording to J. A. Axcll. By the time
this goes to press, he says, they will
probably be bringing in a great many
more roses than at present. This con-
cern makes a specialty of Cecile Brun-
ner and is having success with it th'a
season, not only supplying its own ship-
ping demands but also furnishing other
shippers with stock. The company has
purchased another delivery automobile,
the fifth machine for use in the business.
A. Zirkman has been calling on the
local trade in the interests of the M.
Eiee Co., of Philadelphia.
Daniel MacEorie, of MacRorie & Mc-
Laren, has returned from a business trip
to Los Angeles and other southern
points. John McLaren has been touring
the southern part of the state on a
pleasure trip, accompanied by Mrs. Mc-
Laren. The firm handled the decora-
tions for the Mardi Gras, one of the
biggest social functions of the season.
A special pavilion was constructed for
it adjoining the St. Francis hotel, on
Post street. The idea of a Russian fort
was carried out in detail. The princi-
pal feature of the decoration was large
triangles made of a solid mat of acacias,
outlined with woodwardia ferns. The
demand for corsages for the ball was so
heavy that the entire supply of orchids,
gardenias and valley was exhausted
early in the day.
At Lundberg's store, on Polk street,
business is reported good in all branches.
The San Francisco Seed Co. is supply-
ing a big demand for fruit trees, espe-
cially almonds, and other nursery stock.
Mr. Pitts, of the W. F. Pitts Seed
& Nursery Co., reports an active export
demand for seeds. His company is now

The most rapturously and strikingly beautiful little
rose ever introduced. The color is absolutely new and
startling in its brilliancy- golden yellow, tipped with
clear cerise. The little buds and open flowers are ele-
gantly finished and of most perfect form. Habit of the
very best, strong and compact; freedom of bloom is
remarkable and continuous throughout the entire sea-
son. We have given it a fair and thorough trial and
have no hesitancy in offering it as the one best selling
rose you ever handled. It is a money-maker.
Also special prices on all commerial varieties of

Snowilakes and raindrops alternating
and intoniiingling caused disagreeable
weather several days l.-ist week, and
there was a marked dejiressioii in busi-
ness. The gray weatlier was a benefit
to the extent that it reduced the cut of
carnations and retarded the maturing of
bulbous stock, which tiireatened to flood
the market. There had l)een some waste
in carnations for a few days, but it is
not likely that there will l)e any unused

bud to its place in a casket spray. Re-
freshments and cards were enjoved after

Various Notes.
Carl Starket is still bringing in Maud
Dean mums. He does not know exactly
how he has caused so late a crop. He
intends this season to enlarge his produc-
tion of asparagus.

<- 0 IS proud of a vase of red carnations
cut froni some plants propagated by
Wilham Martin. It is a red variety of
Crorgeous, having the same size of bloom
and length of stem. Its color is unlike
any red grown here. The blooms bring
$2 per dozen, and for display purposes
they are worth double the price of the
smaller rods. Several of the flowers
measured fully four inches across. The
company's store showed the first Nar-
cissus poeticus blooms last week.

Business last week was practicallv the
same as that reported for the week pre-
vious—everybody busy. Funerals and
parties are using up quantities of stock,
but there seems to be no limit to either
the quantity or quality. Bulbous stock
is abundant, r'amations are in adequate
supply, but roses continue scarce. Easter
lilies and callas are plentiful and good.
Various Notes.
Bernson & TTallo are having unusual
success with their sweet peas this Avinter.
The quality of their peas has seldom
been excelled and rarely equaled. Car-
nation Aviator has made a hit with
them, ns well as with their customers.
They are doing a good business in root
ed cuttings of this variety.
Harry Kipp, who has been associated
with the Spokane Florist Co. for the last
five years, has severed his conner-^^ion

nounced his future plans, but will, for

A few azaleas are on sale and good-qual-
ity plants .nre being sold at prices liither-
to unheard-of. Cyclamens, primulas and
cinerarias are plentiful and, with a short-
ness of tulips, etc., are selling freely.
Several important social functions liavc
stimulated business considerably.
Various Notes.
The weather recently has been favor-
able for outside planting, but nurserv-
men say there is not much doing so far.
As usual, people are slow to realize the
requirements of their grounds and things
arc left till late in the season. One flo-
rist said he had sold more bulbs this
month than in October. As soon as the
flowers are out they come after the
bulbs.
A movement is under way to have a
central rose show here this vear. .Ml the
district .societies and other organizations
are expected to help, so there are good
prospects of success.
Portland has received the official sanc-
tion of the American Rose Societv for an
olBcial test garden. This shoulij be of
great benefit to all rose growers in the
1 acific northwest, and Seattle will bene-
nt with the others. T W
Walla Walla, Wash.— The Blossom
Floral Co. will erect a large greenhouse
here this month.

It is proving an excellent season for
the luusei ynien of the south.
The obituary column contains a brief
sketch of tlie life of D. E. Mayo, of
Knoxville, Tenn., who died from apo-
plexy February 16.
B. Tkhrell Hoyt, proprietor of the
Hoyt Nursery Co., of St. Paul, Minn.,
died February 14, at the age of 41. Mr.
Hoyt enjoyed a wide reputation as a
landsca]H' architect. The Inisiness will
be continued by Mrs. Iloyt.
Cable advices last week stated that
after the S. S. Xieuw Amsterdam, of the
Holland-America Line, had sailed with
a cargo containing hundreds of cases of
nursery stock, the vessel was recalled to
Rotterdam and that a portion of the
cargo will come forward on a smaller
boat.
The GrilTing Bros. Co., which operates
one of tlie largest nurseries in the en-

not succeed in these climates, it is cer-
tiiinly not on account of excessive cold.
My experience with it is that it is not
worth planting except just as a curiosity
or to make one in a collection.
Another tree that is unsatisfactory
in this country is Cryptomeria Ja[)onica,
though 1 have had charge of beautiful
speeimens of it in England, where it
makes a fine tree and succeeds admir-
ablv. T have a photo of this cryp-
tomeria growing, or ratiier existing,
near Boston, Mass. Tlie tree has prob
ably been ])lanted fifty or sixty years,
but is nothing more than a skeleton. 1
have met with this tree more or less
down into central Florida, but have yet
to see a specimen of any age or size
that could be calle<l respectable. Two
or three vears ago there was a largo
specimen of it in South Carolina, the
best T have seen in this country, but
it was receiitlv broken u]> so badly by
a cyclone that it is now little better

'There are some trees of (lyptomena
.laiionica in Central i)ark, N. Y., that
have been planted some time, but they
wouM look better on tlie rubbish heap
than as examj.les of what a tree should
not be. This trep is being extensively
planted around New York. It may retain
its shape and color for a year or two,
but I never have met with a specimen
of any age from Boston to Florida that
was worth looking at.
Some time ago a heilge of this tree
was referred to bv a well known writer
as near Philadelfdiia. This was prob-
ably on the estate of former Senator
Addicks, in a little village between
niiladeli)hia and Wilmington, Del., the
name of which does not occur to me
at the moment. I am well acquainted
with this hedge and was informed by
the gardener who planted it that it was
made up of some surplus stock which
he himself had propagated and, having
more than he wanted, he had planted it
out as a hedge to get rid of it. It was

Star Brand Roses
Hardy, Field-grown Climbers
The stars stand for our Star Brand Roses.
Each one of its fine points stands for a point about them. Each one of these points does its
own full share to make them the friend-making business-builders they are.
Point 1. True to name. We guarantee every one of them.
Point 2. Quality. In back of which is 60 years of specialization and experience in rose growing.
Point 8. Strong roots. Every plant makes good, strong, vigorous, fibrous roots in our luxuriantly
good soil. Good roots make for perfect tops.
Point 4. Healthy. Will thrive practically anywhere. Can stand rigorous winters. Require no
coddling. Not a weakling among them.
Point 5. Care in digging and packing. Last, but by no means least, we see to it that you get all
of the roots, tops properly trimmed. See to it that the plants are so packed that they will reach
you in the same top-notch condition that they leave us.
On these five points our Star Brand Roses are based. Those we list here are among the best of
the bunch.

only a few feet iii Iciij^tli, and to call
it a hedge is certainly going tlie limit
in hedges.
So far as I have seen and known them
from Boston to Florida, 1 have never
seen a specimen of either of these va-
rieties of any age that would induce
me to plant them except as a curiosity
or as one in a collection. There are e.\-
ceptions to nearly all rules and there
may be exceptions in the case of tins
cryptomeria and cnnninghamia, but my
experience is they are most unsatisfac-
torv if ixit a total failure.

FORT WAYNE, IND.
The Market.
Bi'sincss during the last week has
been brisk, and apparently the Lenten
season has had little or no effect on
flower buving. There has been good
decorative work for weddings and couii-
ter trade has been brisk. Funeral work
has been heavy, especially in large
pieces, such as blankets and wreaths.
The supplv of stock is unusually goo.l,
owing to the bright weather and mod-
erated temperature. There is a great
varietv in cut flowers and blooming
plants"' at present. Bulbous stock pre-
dominates. Prices are unusually higli.
Lilacs are bringing $0 per dozen retail.
Tulips, jonquils and Paper White !iar-
cissi bring H pcr hundred wholesale;
freesias, $'.i per hundred, wholesale, and
75 cents per dozen retail. Violets bring
$2 and $3 per hundred retail; carnations,
$4 and $5 i>er hundred. Koses are of
exceptionally good quality, but the suj)-
ply, while good, is not large enough to
meet the demand. Blooming plants in-
clude rhododendrons, azaleas, lilacs,
cyclamens, primroses and bulbous stock.
The demand for these is excellent.
Various Notes.
The February meeting of the Fort
Wavnc Florists' Club, which was post-
poned on account of the boiler explosion
at the F. J. Knecht range, was held
February 122, at the Knecht greenhouses.
Tliere was a large attendance. The con-
Do It Now!
Go over your Rose Houses carefully and estimate the plants you need
for replanting this Spring, and place your order. Roses are going to be
scarce. The Manetti situation is such that those who get it are fortunate, and thfi
demand is far greater than the limited supply. We have sold over JOO.OcO grafted
Roses in the last two weeks. We have 2C0.000 more to sell. There is considerable
building contemplated. "Changing from Carnations to Roses' is a frequent expla-
nation made when placing an order. If you are short at planting time it will be
your fault and not ours. The growing of grafted Roses is an industry in itself. At
Cromwell the large Quantity of Roses grown for cut flowers makes it possible to get
scions that are first-class. We want your Rose Plant order, and we want to be able
to say "yes" to your inquiry, Estimate your requirements and write us.

New Red Rose DONALD MacDONALD
A New HAWLMARK Red Rose sent out this year by Alex. Diikson & Sons
We have'tested this rose for winter forcing for two years, and with us it produces
more red roses during the winter than any rose we have ever grown. It is not a large rose,
but has perfectly formed, medium-sized flowers that sell at sight. Color bright orange-
carmine; will not turn blue, because the base of the petals is orange. It is not a summer
rose, as it has the same substance as Killarney. We build the plants up until November,
and from Thanksgiving until May it is a money-maker for the Rose Grower, as no pinch-
ing is necessary.

The Florists' Review
March 1. 1917.
DETROIT, MICH.
The Market,.
Spring stock, as expected, is in great
abundance, and the retailers are having
sales to their hearts' content. The sup-
ply of roses is steady, but not exces-
sively large. Sweet peas are arriving in
large quantities, as well as carnations.
Some extra fine Paper Whites are to be
had. The demand for Beauties and long-
stemmed Russells is good, but the supply
of these is inadequate. Orchids, single
violets and valley sell well. Last week
saw a large consumption of lilies and
roses, as there were several unusually
largo funerals.
Various Notes.
Hugo Schroeter, Inc., had on display
in the window several bundles of scrap
paper, suggestive of why the Saturday
special could still be sold at $1; namely,
the store had a saving grace as- regards
paper — the high cost of doing business
did not affect the price of the special.
One of Frank Holznagle's green-
houses and the stock were damaged to a
great extent last week by fire.
Harry E. Saier, of Lansing, was
looking the town over last week. F.
Johnson, of the A. L. Randall Co., Chi-
cago, also was a visitor.
Philip Breitmeyer has returned from
Cuba and the east.

Last week saw a still greater influx
of bulbous stock to the market, includ-
ing tulips, jonquils, hyacinths and
freesias. There are some good Paper
Whites in the market. Purple lilac has
appeared, the white variety having been
here for several weeks. Callas are more
plentiful and splendid Easter lilies are
offered. Carnations are plentiful.

The Florists' Review
March 1, 1917.
BUFFALO.
The Market.
Business last week was active, but on
tlic arrival of Lent a change in the mar-
ket was noticeable. The week opened
with good weather and considerable
more sunshine tlian usual, which had a
tendency to make stock more plentiful.
jVIany of the smaller concerns which
grow some of their own stock were bene-
fited by the weather.
American Beauties, although having
eased up somewhat in quantity, are still
clinging to the scarce side. Other varie-
ties of roses are more plentiful and their
quality is exceptionally good. Easter
lilies arc more plentiful. Carnations,
too, are more abundant, with prices re-
maining the same. Sweet peas now are
extra nice, but limited in quantity.
Jonquils, daffodils and tulips are more
than jdentiful, but a lively demand for
them prevails. Violets are much the
same. Freesias, snapdragons, Jioniau
liyacinths and calendulas make up the
niiscellaneous list. Adiantum Croweanum
and smilax are sufficient for all present
demands.
Various Notes.
A recent visitor to Buffalo was C! J.
Ford, with A. Herrmann, of New York.
Last week W. J. Palmer had a heavy
run of funeral work, most of it goinw to
Collins, N. Y. Eobcrt Dobbie has boen
sick for the last two weeks from bron-
chitis. A. E.
NEW BEDFORD, MASS.
The Market.
Business is better tlian it has been
for some time. Flowers of all kinds are
more ]ileiitiful and much cheaper. Vio-
lets are of good quality and move stead-
ily. Hweet peas are lower priced and
consequently sell better. The quality
is still good.
Various Notes.
William }I. Davenport says business at
his store has been much better this
month than that of last month. Mr. Dav-
enport is cutting some fine Murillo tu-
lips, the best to be seen in the city.
William P. I'ierce reports a good,
steadv demand for })lants.
Julius, the Florist, reports business
good, but with Julius it is always good,
Ernest Chamberlain last week had a
most attractive window of bulbous stock.
S. E. Shaw is sending in some uncom-
monly good sweet peas.
Edward M. Tierce is cutting good ca-
lendulas and violets. Mr. I'ierce reports
a L'ood (lufintitv of funeral work at his
store. ' W. M. I'.

PITTSBUBGH, PA.
The Market.
Pittsburgh has been having mild
weather. As a result stock has piled
into the wholesale houses in such quan-
tities that it has been impossible to move
it. Roses, which have been scarce since
the first part of the year, are almost a
glut. Dafifodils and tulips are in such
large supply that it is hard to dispose
of them at any price. Violets come in
an avalanche and street prices are the
best that can be had for them. Carna-
tions and lilies still are short of de-
mand. Sweet peas are plentiful, but
sell at reasonable prices. Beauties con-
tinue scarce, but no one seems to need
them.
Trade continued firm until February
21. Everything took a tumble after
that, and no doubt business will be quiet
at least for the first ten days of March.
After that there usually is more going
on, and, with better weather, the street
men can work off the surplus.
Various Notes.
The Western Pennsylvania Horticul-
tural Society had an interesting meeting
February 20. The members of this
young society are enthusiastic. They
attend the meetings almost to a man and
all try to bring something with them to
make the gatherings interesting.
The Florists' Club will meet March 6
at the Fort Pitt hotel. Several inter-
esting stunts are on the program and all
members should attend. Clarke.

keeps its color at all seasons. The flowers average about three inches, are very full
and generally receive full score on substance. The flowers are all perfect and do
not split. In the four years we have grown it, it has proved the best commercial

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 fhe best in the special
field of its adaptation.
HAS INSTALLED ly^-ltJCK PIPES.
I have just installed a hot water heat-
ing system in my greenhouse, which is
22x32, six feet high to the gutters and
fourteen feet to the ridge. The sides
and one end are double boarded. There
are three feet of glass in each side wall
and in one gable end. The boiler room
is at the east end of the house, with a
cellar for the boiler. The house is well
built, but is exposed to the northwest
winds. I have used a 3%-inch pipe to
lead from the boiler into the house.
The 3%-inch main then branches out
into four 2-inch flows, one for each
bench. Each flow is connected with four
1%-inch returns. I wish to heat the
house to a temperature of 60 degrees
when the outside temperature is 15 de-
grees below zero. The boiler is four
and one-half feet below the return pipes.
F. O. W.— la.
So far as can be determined from the
description given, there is no reason why
the system will not give a good circula-
tion, although the radiation is not sirf-
ficient to give a night temperature of 60
degrees when the temperature is 15 de-
erees below zero outside, except with
hard firing or with a system under pres-
Bure. As a rule, we prefer to use re-
turns larger than 1^-inch for hot water,
but in a short house, and with the top
of the boiler four feet below the re-
turns, they should give satisfactory re-
sults, especially when there are only
four for each 2-inch flow pipe.
As nearly as we can determine, there

are at least 1,200 square feet of glass
in the house, for which at least 400
square feet of radiation should be used
and 450 square feet would be better,
while there are less than 300 square
feet in the system. At least twenty-two
1^4-inch returns should be used. We
would place a 2%-inch flow pipe upon
each plate and one under each purlin, or
about halfway from the gutters to the
ridge. With each flow pipe we would
prefer to use four 2-inch returns, al-
though 1%-inch or even l^/i-inch pipes
might be used, with eighteen of the
former and twenty to twenty-two of
the latter in the house.

are constantly giving
the Kroeschell the
highest praise.

The Kroeschell

as follows: It is 16x24 and twelve
feet high from ground to ridge. The
side walls are six feet high. The upper
half of these walls is glass; the lower
half is wood, covered with roofing
paper. There is a 3-foot bench on each
side and there is a 6-foot solid bed in
the center. The house runs east and
■west and is pretty well sheltered. The
boiler room is at the east end. I have a
Hercules hot water boiler, rated at 900
feet of radiation.
Will the results be satisfactory if I
run a 2%-inch flow pipe through the
center of the house, branching it off at
the west end to the coils under the side
benches, which will have six 1%-inch
return pipes? Will this piping be suf-
ficient to heat the house to a tempera-
ture of 60 to 65 degrees in the coldest
weather, when the outside temperature
18, say, 6 degrees below zerot

dimensions given, although the number
of returns might answer in a house 100

INDIANAPOLIS.
The Market.
Despite the increased cost of living,
the demand for flowers continues firm.
Last week was an exceptionally good
one. As social gayety reaches its height
just before the advent of Lent, numer-
ous affairs last week taxed the ingenuity
of the florists. There were, as a result,
unique decorations and offerings. The
death rate continues unusually high,
making funeral work the dominant fac-
tor of the business done.
Stock in almost all lines is more plen-
tiful, a condition that may be attributed
chiefly to the favorable weather. Bulb-
ous stock has been especially abundant;
roses and carnations have experienced a
slight drop in prices. Good carnations
can be obtained at $2.50 and $3, with
the extra selects bringing $4 per hun-
dred. More short roses have made their
appearance. These bring from $3 to $5,
the mediums from $6 to $8 and the long-
stemmed fancy stock from $10 to $15.
American Beauties are not conspicuous;
those to be had are of fine quality.
Of the smaller flowers sweet peas lead
in popularity. The prices range from
40 cents to $1.50 per hundred sprays.
Freesiaa are in good demand and of ex-
cellent quality. Mignonette at $3 and
$4, and cut hyacinths at $5 and $6, are
valuable additions to the market.
Callas are more plentiful, but clear well
at $1 and $1.50, while Easter lilies have
not begun to meet requirements.
The question of greens is still a serious
one. Smilax, plumosus and Sprengeri are
held at a premium, and fern leaves, even
of inferior quality, are hard to procure.
This scarcity of green goods is especially
severe on the florists at this time, when
funeral work is in such great demand.
Various Notes.
Frank Hasselman, B. Foehl and John

In this part of the state geranium
stock is extremely scarce. Baur & Stein-

stock at the present time. There has
been some talk of raising the price of

hundred wholesale, and $1.50 to $2 per

Sunlight Sash for Bedding Plants
Its successful use by hundreds of florists has proved that Sunlight Double Glass Sash gives
far better service than single glass, and at half the operating cost.
Plants have all the light all the time, growing faster, stronger and healthier. No possibility
of sudden chilling at night and no expensive mats and shutters to move and remove.

The Market.
Since the middle of last week stock
of all kinds has become plentiful. Prices
have dropped to a point at which the
retailers can realize substantial profits,
if they are busy at all. Eoses of all
varieties, including American Beauties,
are in good supply; the same now is
true of carnations. Easter lily receipts
are large enough to take care of imme-
diate demands. Sweet pea consignments
are extremely heavy and these flowers
are beginning to be a glut. Excellent
daffodils, jonquils, hyacinths and tulips
may be had. Single violets are in heavy
supply. Other offerings include valley,
orchids, callas, rubrum lilies and snap-
dragons.
Asparagus plumosus and Sprengeri are
exceedingly scarce, the light but fairly
steady supply going quickly.

The supply of cut flowers was greatly
increased all along the line last week,
bulbous stock coming to the front in
great quantities. There has been a good
demand for everything, so that a gen-

and carnations continue good and sweet
peas are steadily increasing in supply.
Plants are selling well, the bulbous
kinds being most in evidence.
Various Notes.
The greenhouses of the Laphani Floral

There has been a marked change in
the weather during the last two weeks,
and from all indications the worst part
of winter is over. This sounds rather
well after one of the severest winters of
a number of years, and the florist in par-
ticular is glad, especially if he is one
of those who did not have their winter's
supply of coal put in last summer, and
who have been paying a double price
for it, with no assurance that they would
be supplied with all they needed.
Business during the last two weeks has
been good; in fact, trade has been so
good and stock has been so scarce that
there has been a continuous struggle for
stock enough to fill orders. There seems
to be a scarcity of stock throughout the
country, as it has been almost impossible
at times to buy from other markets.
However, if the weather continues
bright and clear, stock will become more
plentiful.

GRAND SAFIDS, MIOH.
Two Good Days.
Although this report is somewhat be-
lated, it should be recorded that the St.
Valentine's day business this year was
exceptionally good — greatly in excess of
that of last year. The advertising for
the day was spasmodic and lacked direct-
ness. If all the florists would get to-
gether in this advertising of special
days we certainly would reap the profits
of concerted effort. Stock was plentiful
and many novel arrangements, baskets
and corsages were on display. Sweet
peas, violets and roses were most in de-
mand.
Another day of some importance was
the special "Dollar day," arranged by
the city merchants for the benefit of
out-of-town visitors to the automobile
show. Many of the downtown florists
did well with their dollar specials.
Various Notes.
Henry Smith had an exceptionally
pretty window for Washington's birth-
day.
Arthur F. Crabb was busily employed
three days, February 16 to 19, putting up
the decorations for the auto show. Large
arches of lattice, 100 in number, which
set off the different booths, were embel-
lished with southern smilax and wistaria
blooms. A. F. C.
MILWAUKEE.
There has been little change in market
conditions during the last week. Stock
is plentiful, but there is no surplus.
Prices are holding up nicely and, taken
as a whole, business conditions have been
satisfactory. The weather has been
milder and this has given an added
stimulus to business. St. Valentine's
day trade was exceptionally good and
the retailers, as well as wholesalers and
growers, are well satisfied. The collec-
tive advertising that appeared in the
local newspapers a few days before St.
Valentine's day is undoubtedly respon-
sible for the increase in business and it
is probable that this sort of advertising
will be done regularly.
Violets and sweet peas had a good sale
last week and the quality of the stock
was good. Carnations sold readily and,
while some large lots were moved in
order to keep the supply down, none was
disposed of cheaply enough to be called
bargain stock.
The demand for roses was exception-
ally good and, while the cut was quite
large, some difficulty was experienced in
taking care of orders on the shorter
grades. If the last two weeks can be
taken as a forecast, the spring season
will see a healthy increase in business
over that of last year. H. J. S.

You wouldn't expect a

Are you expecting that
tired, starved soil to pro-
duce the greatest number
of flowers or vegetables,
the remainder of the grow-

cal time for you ?
Why not safeguard
yourself right now ?
Buy the Maggie Fer-
tilizers specially mixed
for your particular
soil and plants, and
feed the Magic way.
Take the word of hun-
dreds of your fellow grow-
ers: "There is no invest-
ment you could make that
would yield better and
surer returns, namely,
bigger and better crops,
than to invest in the
Magic Fertilizers."

ROCHELLE PAPER POTS AND BANDS
Our Square Paper Pots ar« the Original Im-
proved DOUBLE Bottom Square Paper Pots that
we hare sold for FIVE YEARS.
They are by far the BEST POT on the market
today.
They are made with one tack. No glue.
By ACTUAL TEST they can be made up MORE
THAN TWICE AS FAST as a stamped out pot
can be folded, assembled and "locked."
They are made of the same new, tough paper
that has made our Square Paper Pota and Square
Dirt Bands FAMOUS, after FIVE TEARS' TEST
by the U. S. Oovemment, the Canadian Oovem-
ment. International Expositions, large , numbers
of State Agricultural Experiment Stations, City
Parks, Public Institutions and many thousands
of Superintendents, Florists and Truckers in all
parts of the country and Canada.
"Enclosed please find a postofflce money order,
for which please send us 10,000 8-in. Square Pa-
per Pots by freight to Yantic, Conn." Avery
Bros., Norwich Town, Conn.
(Avery Bros, got SOOO of our 3-in. Pots in 1913,
5000 in 1914, 7000 in 1915, 10,000 in 1916 and
10,000 thia year. They know the merits of our
Pots.)
"Kindly send us by express 20,000 Paper Pota,
•ice 8-ln., for which I inclose check." George
Foulsham, Supt., Lenox, Maas.
(Mr. Foulsham orders our Paper Pots regularly

0BSA8ED DIBT BANDS
1— Should a Dirt Band be GREASED and the
ENDS held together until it is set in place ? Yes.
OUR DIRT BANDS ARE CREASED and the
ENDS HELD TOGETHER.
NOT "LOCKED"
2 — Should the ends of Dirt Bands be
"LOCKED?" NO. Because "locking" does not
serve any purpose and is a serious detriment.
If the ends are "LOCKED" the band has to be
TORN OFF when the plant is taken out.
After the bands are filled and watered the soil
settles tight against the insides and they cannot
be unlocked.
TEARING the ends of the bands apart will
break many of the "balls"' or cubes of soil.
Get a "locked" band, lock it and try tearing
it apart.
Ours are made to SLIP APART easily, without
tearing, to let the plant out.
Our bands are made of the same special, tough
paper that has been PROVED 5 YEARS to be
perfect for the purpose.
They are the BEST Band on the market, but
also the CHEAPEST.
Mr. H. B. Weaver of Bird-in-Hand, Pa., grows
Carnations, Mignonettes, Sweet Peas and other
cut flowers. He says of our Dirt Bands: "I
believe any one using these bands will become a
regular customer."
(He got 5000 Dirt Bands in 1913, 60,000 in 1914,
70,000 in 1915, 50,000 in 1916 and has Just or-
dered 60,000 for 1917.)
Mr. J. M. Gager, WilUmantlc, Conn., says:
"The crop from the plants raised in your Dirt
Bands PAID ME THE BEST of any crop of to-
matoes grown SINCE I HAVE BEEN IN THE
BUSINESS."
(Mr. Gager has Just ordered 10,000 4-in. bands
for this year.)
Mr. Herbert W. Coulter, Avon, Mass., says:
"I am BO well pleased with the Dirt Bands that
I DO J40T SEE HOW A MARKET GARDENER
CAN AFFORD TO GROW PLANTS WITHOUT
THEM."
To show the wide use of our Pots and
Bands by Government, State, City and Public
Institutions we might say that while we are
writing this advertisement (Feb. 17th) one mail.
Just opened, brought us orders from Sontk Da-
kota Agricultural Experiment Station, Brookings,
S. D. (They got 10,000 of our Paper Pots last
year and expect to use 20,000 this year) and
Board of Regents of Normal Schools, Whitewater,
Wis., and inquiries for prices from New York
State College of Agriculture at Cktmell Univer-
sity and University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
We have probably sold 6 times as many of our
Square Paper Pots and Dirt Bands as all other
firms put together.

The Market.
There has been little let-up in business
conditions during the last week. Most
of the stores continue busy, but a quieter
time is expected to start within the next
few days. However, funeral work is
just as much in demand as it has been
for some time, and a great quantity is
turned out daily. There seems to be
a lack of design work, the majority of
this work being baskets and sprays. The
growers say that the prospects for
Easter trade are exceptionally good,
with an abundant supply of blooming
plants. Bulbous stock is plentiful. The
demand is fairly heavy and the supply
clears easily. Saturday specials are be-
ing run on violets, tulips and jonquils,
and this helps to clean up the market.
The daily out-of-town shipments arrive
in better condition, owing to the milder
weather.
Roses arc plentiful, with a heavy sup-
ply of the longer grade. The supply of
the shorter grade, for which the demand
is much larger, is quite small and lim-
ited. Excellent Killarney, White Kil-
lamey. Sunburst and Ward roses, with
a fair supply of Montrose and Milady,
meet all demands for the better grade of
roses. Carnations are of splendid qual-
ity and arrive in good shipments, with
a slight shortage in the whites. Beds
are somewhat poor, vrith no great de-
mand. The market is well stocked
with jonquils, which are of fine qual-
ity. Tulips and poeticus, with a fair
quality of Paper Whites, are cleared
nicely. Violets are moving faster this
week. The quality is still good. Orchids
are in the market again and sell well.
The supply of gardenias is meeting all

The postage alone
(If 2-cent stamps were used)
Would Cost $250.00
If Jyou]attempted to send to every reader of The Review even a simple
circular advertisingf your business.
The circular itself, the paper (it has increased 125 to 150% in price
since the war), printing, envelopes, addressing, etc., would more than
double the cost. And even at that, you would be forcing your propo-
sition upon the attention of the people to whom you sent it.
On the Other Hand
No one who buys The Review is forced to do so. He reads it from
choice.
Your business announcements stated in The Review come to the
attention of the buyers you seek in a manner and at a time that is
psychologically correct.
You can print in The Review a half page, each issue, for a whole
year, for what one circular would cost if you attempted to reach the
entire circulation of The Review just once.
The Comparison is Startling
The one distribution of 12,500 circulars would cost approximately
$650.00— one "flash in the pan," then silence.
A half page in The Review would cost only $702.00 for a whole year;
it would be seen, read and remembered, if not this week, then next
week for 52 issues-650,000 copies.
Every modern business man knows the cumulative value of continuous effort.

The Rams burg Locking Pot
is not a mere paper strip, nor is it made of soft chip board that sucks
the moisture up and throws it off in the air, as a lamp wick draws
oil; but both our dirt bands and pots are made of first quality manila
board, with a hard, coated surface that is 100 per cent efficient.
Send a postal for samples and prices of the best pot made and save time,

E0C3HESTEE NOTES.
[Contlnueii from \kxkb 102.]
Hotel Seneca February 21 for dinner.
The committee included George T.
Boucher, W. L. Keller, A. H. Salter and
E. P. "Wilson. Charles Felton, who was
in the city on that day, and who has
a large florists' business in Buffalo, was
entertained by the committee at dinner.
Mr. Felton told of the things the newly
organized retail club was doing in Buf-
falo, and of the remarkable results for
good developing therefrom. The stand-
ardizing of prices is the best thing that
ever happened in Buffalo, he said. The
committee decided to raise the price of
rented palms to $6 per dozen for the
first evening, and a proportionate
amount for each day following.
George Harding, of Barnard, is grow-
ing fine cinerarias. His carnations are
coming along in good shape and his
daily cuttings are increasing.
Washington 's birthday was observed

was done by the florists, all of whom
had plants trimmed in the national col-

Our Bands are creased to the exact shape by a machine, and you may lock them by
removing the V, or If you prefer you don't need to use the lock.
Our Pots are considered the best on the market, they lock and stay locked, the sides
will positively not come open or the bottom drop out. Our Pots and Bands stand in ,
a class by themselves. They are no relation to the common strip of paper, or the
twi.st of the wrist pot and band.

BRAMPTON, ONT.
The weather has moderated slightly
and the coal situation has become less
acute. There have been more frozen
shipments of flowers this winter than in
any previous season in this province, and
the statement seems to apply generally
throughout the Dominion. The man who
can invent a light, frost-proof box to
carry long-distance shipments, would
soon be on good terms with the larger
growers.
The outlook for the future is not alto-
gether bright for those who have to
enter into new contracts for coal for
neoct season, and profits must be counted
out for this year for the grower, if we
mistake not. There are one or two
firms outside Toronto who at this time
of the year seem to go out of their way
to demonstrate that they are not in the
greenhouse business for profit; that it is
rather a matter of sentiment which per-
suades them to buy daffodil bulbs at $1
per hundred, prepare the soil for them,
give them rertarding room for weeks and
then force them under glass, only to
dump them on a Saturday market for
exactly the same money. As the old
song says, "It's very funny, but it's
true," although in these days, when the
idea of thriftiness should appeal to every-
one, the scheme does not seem to do
credit to one 's business perspicacity.
The year's test with women and girls
in the greenhouses has proved that the
new workers are capable of a great deal
more than was thought possible when
they were first called upon to assist.
They now form more than twenty-five
per cent of the staff and are all getting
rich quickly, God bless 'em!
Sweet peas are arriving in splendid
shape just now, and are far better in
quality than they have been during the
last five or six years. Violets also are
a great success this season.

Putting the Water
On the Flowers
Were you spra3dng the carnations
this morning?
Down the long aisle you pulled
and tugged and strained, the poor
hose twisting and (lopping and kink-
ing after you.
And when you had untangled the
snarls and straightened the kinks,
only a measly dribble greeted the
drooping plants and flowers.
Cracks and breaks in the hose
were stealing the water from them.
You can rid yourself of such annoyance
by simply installing Goodyear Wingtoot
Lawn Hose in all of your greenhouses.
Then does your morning sprinkle or
washout become a pleasant duty.
Then do cinder and concrete walks and
obstructing bench legs offer no damaging
resistance to hose so well made.
Goodyear Wingfoot Hose is, in fact,
amply fortified against greenhouse abuse.
The seamless tube is of active rubber
and braided cotton that will not become
hard and britde, yet does not soften and
mash.
So well made is Goodyear Wingfoot
Lawn Hose that every foot of it is guaran-
teed not to burst within two whole lawn
hose seasons.
Ask your own supply dealer for further
facts concerning Goodyear Wingfoot Lawn
Hose service.

HOW TO rORCE RHUBARB.
Please tell me how to force rhubarb
under the benches or in a cool house.
H. E. H.— W. Va.
Rhubarb will start too slowly in a cool
house. It should be boxed in so that it
will be in complete darkness, or as near
that condition as possible. The stalks
will then have a good red color. At this
season rhubarb needs a warm green-
house. If you do not have such a
house, perhaps you have a warm cellar
in which you can start the plants and
from which light can be more easily ex-
cluded. Pack some soil about the roots,
soak them well with water and moisten
the soil as needed. Do not wet the
stalks as they are growing, or rot may
set in, especially where they are kept
closely and in darkness. The warmer
and darker the roots can be kept, the
more quickly they will start. C. W.

liage, has been of great value to the hj-
bridists, who, by crossing it with other
strains derived from B. Boliviensis and
B. Veitchii, have produced a number of
varieties with a dwarf, compact habit,
but moderately sized and highly col-
ored flowers.
The Wealth of New Colors.
The foregoing species, the chief par-
ents of the present-day forms, in their
native habitats grow at an altitude of
11,000 to 13,000 feet. This, however,
does not signify that they are hardy in
our climate. It will be noticed that,
with the exception of the yellow-flow-
ered B. Pearcei, all the original species
have red, scarlet or crimson flowers;
yet the result of hybridizing and cross-
ing has been the production of progeny
showing many varieties of color, such
as white, pink, yellow, orange, crimson
and many intermediate shades. Veitch
& Sons, of England, and Crousse, of
France, were the pioneers in the work,
and when the small, drooping flowers
of the parents are compared with the
large, brilliant flowers of today, it seems
hardly credible that such magnificent
results could have been produced in a
little over thirty years.
The cultivation of the tuberous bego-
nia is not difficult. The easiest way is
to purchase the young tubers from a
specialist and start them in February or
March in shallow boxes filled with sandy
loam. They should be placed far enough
apart to prevent matting and tangling
of the roots when taken up to be potted,
and should be kept at a temperature of
60 to 65 degrees. The plants are ready
for potting when the new shoots are
about two inches long. The soil should
consist of sandy loam and well-rotted
manure, in the proportion of four to
one. The size of the pots should vary
according to the tubers, but generally a
3-inch size is large enough for the first
potting. After potting, the watering
should be moderate, as excessive mois-
ture causes decay at the base.
Flowering and Resting.
A light, airy house and a temperature
of 55 to 60 degrees are necessary for the
best development. However, when the
flower buds begin to form it is advisable
to apply shade to the glass. This not
only improves the coloring of the flow-
ers, but also their keeping qualities.
By the first of June all the plants
should be in their flowering pots. The
amount of water given at this time
should vary according to the weather
•iiid the growth. It is important, how-
i^;vor, to water in the morning, for if the
foliage is wet when the sun is powerful,
I'lowu blotches occur where the drops of
I'loisture have rested. To produce fine,
nishy plants, early flower buds should
'"■ paiched off, so that the strength will
ii<> to the plant itself, and the leading
shoots should be removed to encourage
side growths from farther down the stem.
In order to bring forth showy specimens,
the growth should be stimulated by
reeding with liquid manure two or three
imes a week. The liquid manure may
\>c made by suspending a half-bushel
sack of cow manure in a 50-gallon bar-
'<^1 of water.
In October, when signs of ripening be-
yin to show, the water should be grad-
ually withheld until the growths decay,
■■»ul the pots then should be placed on
I'leir sides under the benches in a green-
''ouse at a temperature of 40 degrees;
PURLINS
Why We Use Angle Purlins in Place of Pipe
0LL the Iron Frame houses, of all
kinds of construction, of all
kinds of greenhouse concerns— all
use angle iron purlins exclusively.
It would seem, therefore, that angle
purlins are the best purlins.
Because they are best, we use
them on both our Reconstructed Con-
struction and Half Iron Frame.
In both constructions this makes
possible the direct screwing fast of
the roof bars directly to one of the
HiicKitvfifs
NEW YORK OFFICE
IWOBraariwiy
flat faces of the purlin. Flat sur-
faces,as everybody knows, can be held
tightly in place, better than when
a round member is placed against a
flat one.
That is just plain common sense.
And another thing— all our column
fittings are bolted through and
through the column on both con-
structions.
You know we go anywhere for
business — or to talk business.

or the tubers may be taken out of the
pots and placed in dry sand in a cool
cellar. In either case, care must be
taken to prevent any moisture from
reaching the tubers during the resting
period. Tn the spring, as soon as the
tubers show signs of growth, they
should be potted. The best plants are
produced during the second year, al-
though they are good for several years.

— a glance through the glass— it's mid-January— the coldest in years. Now look at the eave plate— it's as
clear as on a day in June. It's ice-clearing. Then, too, it has a projection outside that really sheds water—
doesn't compel it to run down over the sash, carrying dirt and decay. Another point— the water on the in-
side actually falls into the drip gutter.
—the bar brackets are double bolted, hold the bars on three sides, leave the drip grooves free and do not
cover the ends. Every bracket is cast with a glass stop— every bottom light rests on a heavy zinc strip.
— the wall is made of sash, instead of bars nailed in. No nails in sash. This gives a true, straight wall
that outlasts bars that are toe-nailed top and bottom to a wooden rail or sill.
See the wide spacing— 16 feet 8 inches — a long, free space as light as the big outdoors.
If you want side ventilation, simply hinge the sash in the side wall — the sash will open
up full — the AGMCO method of hinging makes this possible. Other sash open only
part way. Now take in the whole picture — the house you see but a small part of is
plumb and square. Here's the proof — the glass joints on the roof make a perfectly
straight line. See the beauty of it all — its simplicity? Yet everything that is needed
it there.
On account of a large purchase of materials at a close price, we are in a peculiarly good
position to mai<e you a particularly tempting figure. Don't beat yourself out of a
chance to save some money. Get our price and compare it with others, but—
—get it now.

The Florists' Review
Mabch 8, 1917.
Easter Stock, 1917
On time and in fine shape. Can ship any time, and it would be to your advantage,
if you have glass, to have stock shipped a week or two before Easter, as there is much
less danger of bruising the buds on blooming stock. Then too, it will make a much better
appearance developing after shipment.
State whether to be in or out of pots. Three, four, five and six-inch stock, grown
in pots, can be shipped in paper pots and save express. Azaleas, large Roses and
Hydrangeas must be left in pots.
Packing will be charged at cost.
TERMS
All orders from parties unknown to us must be accompanied by Money Order or
Draft (no personal checks). If you wire an order, wire the money also, as we refuse
to ship C. 0. D. to unknown parties.

^rrnX CHRYSANTHEMUM
CERTIFICATE OF MERIT awarded by Chrysanthemum Society of America
Picture was taken December 10, 1916,
and will give a good idea of the symmet-
rical form of flowers of "Hamburg Late
White." These flowers were cut from
plants grown from single stems and
planted six inches each way.
"Hamburg Late White" is pure white
under all weather conditions and is a sport
of Maud Dean, white, but has no trace of
pink, as the original.
The average grower of Chrysanthemums
must have varieties which are easy to nandle,
and from which he can cut as near 100% of per-
fect blooms as possible. "Hamburg Late
White" has been grown for the last four years,
and produces a very high proportion of good
flowers. It is not an exhibition variety, but for
late white one of the best for commercial pur-
poses. It can be had in bloom the latter part of
November by taking an early bud, but by se-
lecting later buds most of the flowers are cut
during December, and would advise to select a
late bud as the later buds come somewhat ful-
ler. By selecting late buds flowers can be had
as late as the middle of January.
Keeping qualities are excellent, and where a
light, graceful white flower is wanted "Hain>
burtf Late White" cannot be surpassed,
"Hamburg Late White" will be dissemi-
nated in the Spring of 1917, Plants will be
ready April Ist, 1917, and all orders will be filled
in rotation.

LOUISA rOCKETT
is the name of a
New Chrysanthemum
hf*
that is announced by its raiser,
Mr. Pockett, as being
Superior in Every Way to Wm. Turner
of which it is a seedling. Since he raised both
varieties, we may safely take his word for it.
Louisa Pockett is larger than Turner; a better
shape and as strong a grower as Marigold. We
have 3000 plants ready for immediate delivery
from 2 >^ -inch pots, which if set out in the benches
now will make ideal stock plants to propagate
from. You must eventually have this variety —
why not buy it now?
Also: Nag-ir-roc, W. H. Waite, Bol d'Or and

SiiDeriora Mapolia Leaves
—the biggest selling because they are the best!
For your own protection, Mr. Florist, accept "Superiora" Magnolia
Leaves only. They are the best — the business-building kind — for you
to use. Remember the name, "Superiora." REFUSE IMITATIONS
"SUPERIOR A" BRAND MAGNOLIA LEAVES ARE SOLI> BY EVERY IVHOLESALE FLORIST
IN THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA
What better proofs than these endorsements by the wholesale trade?
Plttsburffb Cut Flower Co., of PtttabnrKh, Fs., writes: "Your
'Superiora' Magnolia Leaves are the best leaves that we have ever
bandied, and we have had n(S complaint from any of our customers
who bought these leaves from ua We have stored these leaves un-
der all conditions and found that they will not mould; It Is a very
satisfactory leaf Indeed."
Reed ft Keller, of New York City, say: . . and we beg
leave to acknowKdse receipt of your last shipment of Magnolias,
and we are Indeed pleased to say that they are superior in avery
way. We further state that our experience In leaves from other
dealers has been very unsatisfactory; colors vary and leaves mould
quickly, etc." ^
C. E. Crltcbell, of Clnciniuitl, Ohio, writes: "My customers Insist
on having the 'Superiora' brand of Magnolias, as they claim thes*
are the best, and that they do not dry out or become mouldy, and
that every leaf can be used, and when this is taken Into considera-
tion, they are also the cheapest, besides being the best"
Geo. H. Angermueller, of 8t. Lonls, Mo., says: "It pleases ms
to say that I have worked up a splendid business on your 'Superiors'
Magnolia Leaves, and I credit my success to the fact that the quality
of your leaves has always been entirely satisfactory to my customers,
etc."
Mlcblgan Cat Flower Exchange. Detroit, Bflcb., says: "We have
been handling your 'Superiora' Magnolia Leaves for the past six
years and And in all this time that we have had no complaints but
many compliments on thess goods., etc., etc."
New England FloMst Snpply Co., oT Boston, llass., writes: "Have
found 'Superiora' Magnolias the best leaves on the market. The
sales on this leaf have been growing with the same rapidity as our
biislness."
Jos. G. Neldlnger Co., of PbUadelpbU, Pa., says: "We have
tried all the Magnolia Leaves that are ottered, but find your leaves
to be far superior to all others, etc.. etc."
The HcCaUnm Co., of Flttsbnrgh, Pa., says: "Other Magnolia
preparers havs tried to Induce us to stock up their goods 'just as
good as Dux's' at a cheaper prlos, but we have in each Instance told
them frankly that It was a cass of quality with us, and that wa did
not think their leaf would glvs the satisfaction yours did. Ws eon-
slder our Magnolia trade one of the best assets of our business and
win not take a chance of losing it; in fact, our traveling men are
often greeted as 'Magnolia Kinga' "
The Kerran Co., of New York City, writes: "We have handled
your Magnolia leaves for several years and we take pleasure In
announcing that our already long list of satisfied customers con-
tinues to grow. Since we have handled your leaves we have never
had a complaint, but before that there was dissatisfaction."
L. Banmann ft Co., of Chloago, 111., write: "We regard your
'Superiora' Magnolia Leaves as being unequaled and certainly
would not want to have anything else. Your leaves need no recom-
mendation— they speak for themselves."
Wm. F. Ksstlng Co.. of Buffalo, N. Y., writes: "Have always
found that the 'Superiora' brand gives our customers entire satisfac-
tion; in fact, they are the best leaves we have been able to obtala
In the last few years."
Jos. E. Koppelman, of Providence, B. I., writes: "We feel tliat
we can sell your leaves to people who have used them once without
any trouble. They rather pay the difference than to buy other
leaves elsewhere, eta, etc"
Henry M. Robinson ft Co., of Boston, Mass., write: "We are
pleased to state that the quality of your leaves is certainly the best
ever manufactured in this country, and it is a pleasure to offer such
stock for sale, etc."
The Dale Estate, of Brampton, Ont., writes: "We are glad te
state that any 'Superiora' leaves that we have had in the past
were always as reported and gave satisfaction In our business."

same careful treatment you now give to
your horse and wagon and this wagon will
serve you over a long period of years.
It is carefully built of tested quality
material with strength where strength is
needed in a work car.

STOP WASTING YOUR MONEY
Each year you buy advertising which does not have merit. This wasted
finoney which you are throwing away in donation ads will pay for an
advertising campaign covering a period of ten months— a calmpaign
which will show you at the end of the year, or at the end of each consec-
utive month, exactly how much business it has brought to jrou. Thwe
are two ways of classifying business obtained through advertising: New
business, from persons whom you have not had on your books heretofore ;
increased business, from old customers.
There Is no Guessing about the C. E. FaDs Service of Advertising
If you will give me but a few hours at the start in preparation, I can develop your advertising from an indefinite
expenditure to a definite, dividend-paying investment.
LET'S GET TBE EASTER BUSINESS ON THE JUMP
Now is the time for you to get started. In writing me tell me what forms of publicity you are now using and approx-
imately how much you are spending a year for this publicity.
I CAN SAVE YOU HONEY ON YOUR ADVERTISING
Write me today. Whether you spend $2.50 or $100.00 a month, I can give you
more for your money than you are now procuring and get greater results on
your advertising appropriation. Don't put it oflf.

Rich oriental red, with center shaded lighter
red, and dappled carmine. Large, individual
blossoms that make heads which are simply im-

Without doubt the largest-flowered Canna to
date, as the average flowers more than cover a
man's hat. The color is a strikingly vivid scar-
let that retains its brilliancy.
The color is a beautiful, glowing pink, deeper
in color than its parent, Mrs. Alfred F. Conard,
and the flowers are produced in greatest profu-
sion on strong, erect, branching stalks. It is an
early and continuous bloomer, blooming freely
in hot or cool weather. Canna experts last

Canna to date. " »m

Clear, glistening scarlet flowers borne in im-

_ Large-flowered, cream-white Canna, with faint
pink dots on each petal and a sulphur-colored
itongue. When a short distance from the flowers
they appear pure white.
The nowers open almost pure gold, but soon
become richly rayed with orange crimson and
apricot; throat deep carmine red. Foliage green.
j True, bright Buttercup yellow.
This Canna was selected to plant in Lafayette
Square, directly in front of the White House, for
1I9I6. In some respects it resembles the famous
j"Meteor," but the flowers are more intense scar-
llet. The heads of bloom are carried erect above
the healthy green foliage, producing a brilliant
effect in mass planting.
A charming shade of rich, soft crimson pink,
particularly clear and pleasing to the eye. Flow-
jers are large, with broad, overlapping, rounded
petals of great substance and durability. Foliage
IS light green, prettily veined; the habit is robust,
.but the leaves do not hide the flowers.
Large, orient-red flowers, borne 011 firm, up-
'right stems, just enough above the foliage to
show the entire head. The foliage is a dark
bronze green with emerald shadings, the rib.s a
darker bronze.
Described as Chinese orange or Persian yellow
in color. The crimped petals are remarkable tor
substance, which enables them to withstand the
hot Summer sun without wilting, and another
charm is in the buds, which are dark bronze, har-
monizing with the golden bronze foliage. Grand
in every way.

(A.'iV]
STORE MANAGEMENT IS
is VITAL PROBLEM m
m
Litllc things, apparently trivial, make or break the florist, says this
successful man, whose fifteen years of experience as a retailer of floivcrs
make him qualified to speak. His ideas zvill be I'aluable to everyone engaged
in this branch of the business. The points are clearly made.
'C^
HE toi)ic, "Store Manage-
ment," is worthy of the
most serious considera-
tion by the retail llorist.
There is hardly a com-
modity that the retailer
uses which has not ad-
vanced from twenty ])cr
cent to 100 per cent, and,
if my observation is cor-
rect, I doubt if seventy-five per cent
of the florists arc getting an increased
jirice for their wares. I will also ^en-
turo to say that there is many a retail
florist in the country who is not aware
of the fact that his raw materials are
costing him more money; neither does
ho know that his expenses are climbing
to a high notch.
This fact is due to sovetal reasons,
the principal one being the kuk of a
proper bookkeeping
system. There is no
doubt that a great
many retailers are real-
izing the importance
of a good system of
hooks, but still the ma-
jority are lacking in
iliis respect. The man
who lays stress on his
liookkeeping depart-
Miont is the man v;ho
l;nows what per cent
:or profit he must add
to his merchandise,

0 way for one to fig-

Finds Daily Balance Helps.
T am emiihasi/.ing this subject be-
rause, to my notion, it is really tlie most
important in the conduct of a retail
store. In our own business we know
exactly where we stand every day in
tlie year, because our books are bal-
anced daily.
Our bookkeeper runs off a daily cash

l)roof, showing the amount received on
accounts and the cash sales for that
day. In addition he shows the amount
received to date, as well as the amount
]iaid out. In fact, I might say that this
daily cash proof shows at a glance just
wliat money wo have on hand to the
penny, it being made up as follows:
liank balance, amount in cash register,
(hecks on hand, currency, coin, tickets
and the total balance. This system has
aided mo materially in handling the
financial end of our business.
There are many factors in the retail
flower business which tend to make a
man successful. We all know that we
must have sufficient capital; a good loca-
tion; that our store must bo up-to-date;
that our cases contaiji the newest crea-
tions; our show windows must be clean
and the disjilay arranged in an artistic
manner. Our delivery
service must bo up-to-
the minute; our em-
jildvccs must r(^f)ort on
time and be polite and
a<'Commodating to our
customers; we must do
a certain amount of
ridv(^rtising; wo should
help out our brother
llorist when he needs a
little stock and we
should n;ake the ac-
f[uaint.Tnco of ou r
banlicr.
These are facts that
most florists know, but
I will venture to say
that the jiercentage of
llorists who follow the
aliove schedule is small.
Business Courtesy.
Nino times out of
ten when you accom-
modate a brother flo-
rist you do so grudg-
ingly. Few of U3 go
about the country
enough to keep in
touch witli the newer
novelties in flowers and
plants. ;Most of us do
not know enougli to
treat the salesman who
calls upon us with the
courtesy to which ho is
entitled, and in conse-
quence we pass up
many good opportuni-
ties in merchandise.
Many retail stores
are perched on side
streets and in alleys

The Florists' Review
March 8, 1917.
because the proprietor figures he is get-
ting reasonable rent. He does not real-
ize that he might as well shove himself
oflf the earth.
Many of us still have the habit of
trying to work off old flowers — the grow-
ers are in the majority in this respect,
however — when we realize that the
freshest stock is none too good.
As to delivery service: I know many
florists who continue to use a plug horse
when an automobile can be purchased
for $300, for which nominal sum he can
render better service to his customers
Many florists do not understand that
politeness is an asset in business. In
our own business we try to treat every-
one with due respect and politeness. Of
course we have our " ups and downs,"
and occasionally we vary from this rule,
but there is absolutely no excuse for it,
no matter how roiled a customer may be.
The successful man of today is one
who has self-control. This reminds me
of a story I once heard about a peddler,
who went to a house, knocked and asked
the woman who came to the door if he
could see the lady of the house.
"Yes, you can, if you ain't blind,"
snapped the woman.
"Oh, beg your pardon, madam. You
are the lady of the house then?"
"Yes, I am. What did you take me
for? Bid you think I was the gentle-
man of the house, the next-door neigh-
bor, one of the farm hands, the cat, or
the ice chest?"
"I didn't know, lady, but that you
might be the voungest daughter."
"Oh, did "you? Well, that was
natural, too," responded the lady of the
house. "What did you want?"
The peddler displayed his goods and
left the house, being well paid because
he understood human nature and treated
his prospect with respect and politeness.
Advocates Profit-Sliaring.
Another subject I want to treat on
is the welfare of our employees. We
are apt to hire help for too small wages
and, in return, expect too great service.
the business. They are willing to work,
early and late, and they are always
there at the bugle call. In fact, I have
such confidence in our force that I will
wager that they can turn out fifty per
cent more work, and of better quality,
than an equal force which is not work-
ing on a profit-sharing basis.
I want to say right here that the aver-
age retail florist is too slow. What per
cent of florists do any advertising or
make an effort to promote the flower
business? Very few. And when it
comes to spending a little more money
for the benefit of their business, either
in a direct or indirect way, they figure
they are throwing their money away.
We, in our business, figure advertising
as an asset. It is true one cannot be-
come reckless when he is laying out his
advertising campaign. If you spend five
j)cr cent of the gross sales, it is ample.
F. T. D. Increases Business.
One of the greatest opportunities be-
fore the retail store manager today is
the out-of-town delivery of flowers. It
behooves every proprietor and manager
of a flower store to get busy and investi-
gate the benefits of the Florists' Tele-
graph Delivery Association. This or-
ganization transferred orders last vear
approximating $2,000,000. This was ac-
complished through individual advertis-
ing by its members, who now number,
1 believe, about 400. If you want to do
an increased business this year, by all
means join the F. T. D.
In the present age we must take ad-
vantage of every opportunity. As the
old farmer once said to his sons: * ' Boys,
<lon 't yon ever speckerlate or wait for
soniethin' to turn up. You might jest as
well go and sit on a stone in the middle
of a medder with a pail twixt yer legs
and wait for a cow to back up to be
milked.' '
The retail florist who is willing to
wait for something to turn up, need
not be surprised some fine morning to
find a constable's sign on his store front.
The various things I have touched
SCHLINQ PLANS CONFEBENCE.
Max Schling, of New York, plans a
conference with the heads of the ex-
press companies in the effort to better
shipping conditions in the trade and
makes the following announcement:
For almost two years I have worked a lone
hand on bettering shipping conditions connected
with the different express companies. It was
slow work for my Impatience, but I managed.
About six months ago I brought this up at a
meeting of our Retail Florists' Association, and
had from our association, also from the Greek-
American Florists' Association, a letter giving
ine authority to close any agreement which
might further our interest, the interest of retail
florists.
We will have a meeting In New York, Friday"
or Saturday, Marcli 16 or 17.
The presidents of the different express com-
panies are willing to do anything possible to
protect our shipments and to further our busi-
ness, and I will have to give them a few days'
notice for what day they should arrange so that
they can give us their time.
Any florists' club or retail florists' association
whicli wants to send a delegate to this meeting
should write me Immediately. I will gladly sub-
mit to the different delegates what I have done
in this matter heretofore. We can form a com-
mittee, elect a chairman In advance of this com-
mittee, and instead of representing the few
hundred florists of New York, we can derive
beneflts for all the florists in the United States.

FUNSTON'S FLO WEBS.
Great masses of flowers representing
tributes from persons in all parts of the
country were used for the funeral of
Major' General Frederick Funston. It
was one of the most elaborate military
ceremonies of the kind ever observed
in San Francisco. While many floral
offerings were shipped with the remains
from El Paso, Tex., and others were
picked up along the way, the bulk of the
work was done at San Francisco. Some
of the local florists were rushed Febru-
ary 23 in getting out large pieces. Many
telegraphic orders were handled on short
notice.
The remains of the famous soldier
were the first to rest in state in the
great rotunda of the City hall at San
Francisco. A. J. Eossi, of Pelicano,
Rossi & Co., had charge of the decora-
tion, and its effectiveness did him credit.
Palms were furnished by the park com-
missioners. The large number of set
pieces and other tributes were grouped
at the base of the grand staircase and at
the sides of the rotunda. The cata-
falque, made by Pelicano, Rossi & Co.,
required about 10,000 daffodils, thirty
large bunches 6f almond blossoms and
yards of blue ribbon. It represented
ithe California colors. S. H. G.

AMERICAN SWEET PEA SOCIETY.
Under date of March 1 Secretary Gray
mailed the following letter to members
of the society, requesting that each
member cooperate with the executive
committee of the society in furthering
the interests of the organization:
Dear Sir: A strong effort will be made durinB
the year to increase the interest and raise the
society to the position of importance our popular
flower deserves.
Your present executive committee stands as a
unit In doing everything possible towards this
end, and the support of each and every member
will greatly help the committee in this work. ■
In the past much loss of Interest has been due
to the feeling that the members have not re-
ceived an adequate return for membership in the
society, but your committee Is hopeful to be
able to issue an annual to the members early
in January of next year, which will be well worth
the cost of membership. The annual will contain
cultural articles on sweet pea growing, both out-
doors and under glass, from all sections of the
United States; live notes on varieties; best va-
rieties for greenhouse culture; full data of our
exhibitions, giving the number of vases shown
and number of varieties shown; names of varieties
suitable for exhibition, garden decoration, cut-
ting, etc.; a list of the members with an audited
financial report on the condition of the society.
Now, each and every member can greatly help
the committee in this work by contributing ar-
ticles and live notes on sweet peas from his sec-
tion, by Interesting others In becoming members
of the society, and by giving the "Announce-
ment to Members," herein enclosed, his prompt
consideration.
New Iwoks are being opened, to whicli tlie
names of the members will be transferred as re-
sponses are received.
Our ninth annual exhibition and convention
will be held under the auspices of the Massachu-
setts Horticultural Society, Horticultural hall.
Hoston, July 7 and 8, 1917. It is the intention
to alternate these exhibitions held In the east
between Boston, New York and Philadelphia,
but this will depend on the Invitations received
lit the convention. An attractive schedule of
prizes will soon be issued to members and others
interested.
It is hoped that all members will continue their
support and give the committee the power to
carry out the plans proposed.
The "Announcement to Members"
referred to in the foregoing follows:
ANNOUNCEMENT TO MEMBERS.
The executive committee, in order that the
society may be given a thorough business man-
agement, has approved the following changes:
That the business year end January 1, instead
of July, in order that an audited statement of
the financial condition may appear annually in
the official bulletin to be Issued early in January.
That under this plan, members who have paid
dues to July 1, 1917, receive an official receipt
to January 1, 1918, on the payment of $1.
Tliat all other members whose names appear
on the roll of the society be asked to renew their
interest and receive an official receipt in full to
January 1, 1918, on the payment of $2.
Members approving of this plan will please fill
out the coupon attached and mall same with dues
to William Gray, secretary, Bellevue avenue,
Newport, R. I.
The executive committee respectfully solicits
the support of the members to this plan, and
pledges Itself to an economical business manage-
ment of the society's affairs.

Erfurt, Germany. — The seed growers
are receiving government support in the
matter of vegetable seed production as
a means of maintaining food supplies,
but export business has ceased.
Rotterdam, Holland.— The Dutch-Bel-

Germans, in preparation for the spring
campaign, and for the time being it is
impossible to communicate with the
plantsmen at Ghent. Shipments have
ceased.
Haarlem, Holland. — Although it is
several months to shipping time and
conditions may change at any moment,
bulb exporters are worrying over the
practical suspension of shipping as a
result of the U-boat activities. The fear
is that shipping space may not be avail-
able when the bulb crop is ready to
move.
Ghent, Belgium.— This is the worst
winter of the war. Labor is scarce and
fuel has been so difficult to obtain that
many nurseries have been unable to keep
going.
Iiondon, England. — One of the new
things that has grown out of the war
is the purchase of space in trade jour-

Wiesbaden, Germany. — Ferd. Fischer
says the censorship permits only an oc-
casional letter to pass and that the
blockade has prevented shipments of
cyclamen seeds to America since May,
1916. With few orders permitted to
come in and no shipments permitted to
go out, Mr. Fischer wonders what his
American customers think of the situa-
tion.

I'lorists' Association at I'rbana, March (i. ]
AVc are now assembled for our twelfth
annual meeting. A year ago A\e had a
successful meeting at ^loline, in tho
extreme western part of the state, and
now we meet again here at Urbana under
the auspices of the Department of Horti-
culture of the University of Illinois. I
;im sure every member joins me in ex-
jiressing our ajiprcciation of the priv-
ilege Ave have in meeting here at this
institution. Here at Urbana we come
in touch Avitli the Avork that is being
undertaken by the University of Illinois
to solve some of the problems Avhich Ave
as indi\iduals have to contend Avith in
our Avork connected Avith the cultivation
of plants and flowers. Not only this, but
the AVork being carried out along the
lines of landscape gardening affords
much of interest to the landscaiie gar-
dener as Avell as to the retail florist
whose business is partly of this order.
Every florist of this state, whether he
i-^ a grower or a retailer, should feel it
his duty to t.akc a great deal of interest
in Avhat is being done here for floricul-
ture, and the Illinois State Florists' As-
sociation as a body should never be
neglectful in giving its .aid and support
to those in charge of tho Avork. The
young nien who are devoting four years
of their lives to be especially trained in
the work we represent are going to bo
a poAver, not only in the business but
also in tho societies allied thereto.
The Bloomington Show.
As your president it gives me pleasure
to congratulate you on your efforts of
the past year. It has been a fruitful
one. At Bloomington last November our
first fall flower show Avas held, a flower
shoAv that Avas remarkable in many
Avays. First and foremost, it Avas well
supported by the members, not onh' by
their presence but by contributing
largely of exhibits. Every part of the
state was well represented'; not only the
members with large establishments to
make their selection from, but those not
so well equipfied did their part bv either
sending or bringing along an "exhibit.
The exhibits were of the highest order,"
receiA-ing much commendation from the
visiting public, and we are proud to
say that every exhibit was contributed
for the good of the cause without anA'
chance of remuneration, it being a free
Avill show in every respect.
I feel it my duty to call the attention
of the memlicrs of the association to the
good work done by our fellow members,
the Washburn brothers, of Blooming-
ton, in their efforts to make the shoAV
the success it Avas and to them we owe a
vote of thanks. The Commercial Club
of Bloomington also \\as untiring in its
efforts to make our visit both pleasant
and profitable, and to it we owe our
thanks.
The purpose of the meeting at this
time is tho nomination and election of
officers, to hear reports of the work of
the different departments by the pro-
fessors in charge and to transact such

jiation in all the details of the moetinfi,
which Aviil not only help the association
but be of mutual benefit to every

Fields for Endeavor.
I would suggest for your consideration
and discussion the various diseases and
insects which attack plants. The carna-
tion 3'ellow3 is still an unsolved problem,
though good work is being done to get
at tlic bottom of the trouble. Every
year some frosli disease or insect seems
to come to tlif front. At tlie last meet-
ing of the ( lirysanthcmum Society of
America, held in IMiiladolphia last No-
\ ember, a member spoke of the trouble
growers of his vicinity were having with
a form of elyndrosporum or fungoid
growth which, commencing at the bot-
tom of the chrysanthemum plant, quick-
ly rises, covering the under surface of
the leaves with a varnish-like coating
'hat closes up the pores and stops all
growth. Another member spoke of the
,'all fly, which attacked his plants se-
iously. Experiences of the members
w ith these or any other difiicultics should
!>e brought before the meeting and frce-
y discussed for the benefit of all.
To the officers and members I extend
iiy thanks and appreciation for their
upport during my two terms as your
, 'resident, and trust the same will be
xtendcd to my successor. Our associa-
ion has done a lot of good for the flo-
sts of Illinois, but each year brings its
ow responsibilities needing the support
iid cooperation of everyone interested
I. our business.
In these troublesome times it is in-
'■ed a pleasure to again meet and shake
rmds with our fellow craftsmen, friends
ho have worked togotlier the best
art of our lives for the good of our
'Uimon cause. With this I close.
SECRETARY'S REPORT.
ITlie report of Socretary J. F. Amramin. pro-
■itod to tli(> Illinois Stati' Florists' Association
frbana, Marili G. 1
The one great event in the historv of
<o association was the fall flower show
Id at Bloomington in November. Thi3
as, indeed, one great success. There
ere forty exhibitors and all donated
le tlowers, as the show was non-com-
■titive, and all but one or two prepaid
e express on the flowers sent to the
'lOw. This truly shows a spirit of good
fellowship anil yet I doul)t if any better
advertising medium for llowers could be
had than such a show. Six certificates
(if merit were awarded. The attendance
was unusually large, over 100 members
attending the banquet. Wo hope now
that the fall show and good fellowship
meetings will come to be annual affairs.
The association is now the owner of
200 vases, the executive committee hav-
ing purchased them from the A. L. Ran-
dall Co., at a liberal reduction from the
regular price.
Five life memberships have been
added to our list, making our present
life membership fifty-eight, which to-
gether with an annual membership of
-o!) and an honorary membership of four
makes the total niendjcrship 301. The
receipts for tlic year were $127, dis-
t)ursements $157.38.

February 22 a hail storm from tho

Dallas hailstones almost as large as eggs
fell for three minutes. After the bom-
bardment was over at the range of the

and made the two photographs repru-

that, while the roses became heavilv

HOW TO INCREASE THE CUTS
OF ROSES AND CARNATIONS IN OUR GREENHOUSES
D
IN a recent bulletin of the Illinois
AgiiLiiltural Experiment Station,
in a number of papers which I
have read before this association and
one before the American Carnation So-
ciety, I have advocated the use of acid
phosphate as a thoroughly safe and ef-
fective form of fertilizer for supplying
phosphorus to rose and carnation
plants. In no previous paper have I
been able to recommend acid phosphate
as superior to bone meal, although I
have been rather widely quoted to that
effect and a number of growers are try-
ing out acid phosphate in comparison
with bono meal.
Acid Phosphate vs. Bone.
In order to test out this point, two
sets, 144 rose plants in each, of the va-
rieties Richmond and Killaruey, are be-
ing grown during the present season,
one set being fertilized with acid phos-
phate at the rate of eighty pounds per
100 cubic feet of soil, the other with an
equal money value of bone meal, calcu-
lated to be 42.8 pounds per 100 cubic
feet on the basis of acid phosphate and
bone meal costing $15 and $28 per ton
respectively. Each of the fertilizers
costs more today, but the ratio of cost
of one to the other is about the same.
The plants are 2-year-old stock. I will
let the results speak for themselves.
Here is the effect of fertilizing with
bone meal and acid phosphate:

Total flowers ...1.918 2.391 1,792 2,069
Av. per plant 13.3 16.1 12.4 14.3
The advantage in favor of acid phos-
phate is about two and one-half flowers
per plant, which I consider a rather re-
markable endorsement of acid phos-
phate, since the figures represent the
production onlv from September 1.5 to
December 18, 1910.
The Illinois Agricultural Experiment
Station, if these figures are verified by
the results of the remainder of the year,
will be able to make a second recommen-
dation of practical importance to the
rose grower, viz., that with an equal in-
vestment for fertilizer, acid phosphate
will yield much the larger returns.
Phosphatic Fertilizer for Carnations.
In a discussion about a year ago, be-
fore the American Carnation Society, I
stated that no extensive experiments
had been published showing that phos-
phatic fertilizer would increase the crop
of carnations, but I believed on general
principles that it might well do so. I
am able to give you the results of ex-
periments with White Enchantress and
Champion, the figures being for flowers
picked from September 15 to December
18, 1916, with acid phosphate used at
the rate of eighty pounds per 100 cubic
feet of soil.

A report by P. W. Muncie, Associate in Flori-
cultural Chemistry, Illinois Agricultural Experi-
ment Station, to the Illinois State BUorists' Asso-
ciation, March 6, 1917.
The increase with acid phosphate fer-
tilization is around one flower per two
plants, which appears more significant
when stated as an increase of 500 flowers
per each 1,000 plants in the bench. If
these results are borne out by the rest
of the experiment, I will consider the
point raised as settled in favor of fer-
tilization with acid phosphate, although
apparently carnations are not the heavy
feeders roses are, nor receive such
marked benefit by fertilization.
Variability in Production.
In studying the production of some 1,700
rose and 1,400 carnation plants during
the present year, some data of great in-
terest and fundamental importance to
florists have resulted. I will include
enough of them here for the sake of illus-
tration and comment on their signifi-
cance. The figures below are for the pro-
duction of flowers by Ophelia, Hoosier
Beauty, Killarney and White Killarney
plants from September 15 to December
18, 1916, each plant being considered
separately and arranged in the table ac-
cording to the number of flowers pro-
duced as indicated in the first column
at the left.

After discarding that portion of the
column in each case which contains less
than ten plants, there remains a portion
near the center where the production
varies as much as 100 per cent. Thus,
with Ophelia, thirteen plants produced
sixteen flowers, while eleven plants pro-
duced only eight flowers. If it were
possible to raise the average production
from the level of eight to that of sixteen,
an increase in production of 100 per cent
would result, and that without further
investment for greenhouses or labor.
Since an increase of twenty per cent
by the use of a fertilizer is considered
large, the importance of the question
relative to those relating to the use of
fertilizers is apparent.
Causes of Variability.
Possible causes of this variability are
(1) relative location on the bench with
respect to illumination, drying out, or
temperature, (2) imperfections or poor
quality of Manetti stock, although some
results obtained previously on own-root
stock showed me that this cannot be
the sole cause, (3) variable vigor and
productiveness of plants due to condi-
tions of growth previous to their being
set in the bench, and (4) variability of
vigor and productiveness in the plants
from which the scions of these plants
were taken. This seems to me to be the
fundamental question — whether plants
obtained by the growth of scions from
high -producing plants will themselves
be high producers in comparison with
those plants whose parents, if I may thus
loosely term them, were low producers;
and so fundamental and practical a
question is it that you may expect re-
sults to be reported to some future meet-
ing on this subject. Carnations show a
similar variability and what I have said
above for roses applies to them also,
with the exception, of course, of the pos-
sible influence of Manetti roots.
A bulletin from the Illinois Agricul-
tural Experiment Station which has
just come from the press, on "The Use
of Commercial Fertilizers for Eoses,"
embodies the information contained in
my report of March 7, 1917, with prac-
tical suggestions to florists. This report
contains further experiments along the
same line and uncovers a new line of
promise in the study of variability of
production by roses and carnations.
DISEASE DUE TO NEMATODES.
Its Increasing Prevalence.
Greenhouse men in the northeast, par-
ticularly in the New England states
and in New York, Pennsylvania and
New Jersey, are experiencing consider-
able losses as a result of the occurrence
and continued spread of a little known
disease. The malady is due to nema-
todes, or eelworms, one or more species
of aphelenchus, which have been found
in this country infecting violets, straw-
berries, a number of varieties of be-
gonias and many species of ferns. In
Europe, where it has been known for
many years, the disease has been re-
ported as attacking forty-eight different
species of plants.
On ferns, begonias and other plants
the trouble affects the leaves, causing
them to become discolored — usually
brown — in definite areas, which may in-
crease so as to include the entire leaf.
It may also produce on strawberries and
violets a slight swelling and distortion
of the buds, crowns and leaves. Dis-
eased plants may be killed or their mar-
ket value, quality and appearance may
be impaired.
The cause of the disease, thread-like
nematodes, from one-thirtieth to one-
fiftieth of an inch in length, can be seen
with slight magnification when a small
piece of infected leaf or tissue is teased
apart in a few drops of water on glass.

Tuberous begonias are jimpagated bv
seeds, by division of tubers or by cut
tings of side shoots, th(> most common
and satisfactory method heing from
seeds. The seeds should bo sown in shal-
low boxes or seed ]>ans about Fobruarx

nf leaf-mold and peat and one-quarter
(harcoal. The s(>eds are extremely
small, rosondiling tobacco dust, and for
this reason are best sown directly on the
surface of the soil. The pan should be
covered with a pane of glass and sha(b'd
to prc\('nt drying out, b\it as soon as
the seeds germinate the glass and tlu'

plants show the third leaf they should

Increasing Desirable Stock.
If it is desired to retain and increase
the stock of any variety, this may be
done by taking cuttings of side shoots,
two or three inches long, during the
-ummer and inserting them in leaf-mold,
sphagnum moss or cocoaTiut fiber. The
' uttings should be kept (dose and shaded
for several days; a moist atmosphere
should be maintained by sprinkling
overhead, and tho temperature kept at
•iU to G5 degrees. As soon as the cut-
lings root, they should be {lotted.

CHICAGO FLORISTS' NEW HOME.
For a number of years the growth of
the wholesale cut flower and florists'
supplies business in Chicago has been
hindered by the lack of available space,
those engaged in the business not being
willing to risk locations outside a certain
center. Eecently a building of sixty
feet tv^fitSLge well within the chosen dis-
trict became available to wholesale flo-
rists through the removal of a surgical
instruments house and it now has been
occupied by three trade firms: The
E. C. Amling Co., dealing in wholesale
cut flowers; Ziska & Sons, dealers in
florists' supplies and wire, work, ^d
the new firm of Wiltgen & IVeiries, deal-
ers in cut flowersj located in tne base-
ment. This addition to the market
space, shown in the accompanying illus-
trations, relieves the constriction of the
market area and already has given Ken-
nicott Bros. Co., which had been look-
ing for larger quarters, a chance to get
the space it needed by taking a part
of the store vacated by the Amling
concern. There are other changes in
prospect, all looking toward caring for
increased business, as the wholesale busi-
ness in Chicago is increasing steadily.
DISEASES SCIENTIFICALLY STUDIED
THE work in flol"icultural pathology
is directed along three lines: The
diagnosis and suggested treatment of
diseases of floricultural plants; the diag-
nosis of plant diseases other than flori-
cultural ones, upon a request for such
information; the experimental investi-
gation of those diseases which at present
are causing the most serious loss to the
grower. A report upon some phases of
this work which may have its practical
application follows below.
Carnation yellows, perhaps, requires
first consideration. Much of the con-
flicting evidence upon this disease
among growers and pathologists is due
to the similarity between yellows, bac-
teriosis and stigmonose. In fact, at
certain stages of development it is al-
most impossible to distinguish between
the three without recourse to the micro-
scope and the pure culture methods of
the pathologist. A report of the work
upon yellows, giving the characteristics
which distinguish this disease from stig-
monose and bacteriosis, may be found
in the proceedings of the American Car-
nation Society for 1917. Since the prep-
aration of that paper, the data which
have been assembled have resulted in
additional information.
Formation and Appearance of Yellows.
If the forcing of the carnation in the
early part of the season has resulted in

tural Bxperlment Station of the University of
Illinois, to the Illinois State Florists' Association,

cropping, and the removal of all flowers
has left only the basal portions of the
stems, the young shoots developing at
this time have always come in yellowed.
The tendency to come in yellowed seems
to be especially marked if cloudy
weather prevails when the young shoots
are making a rapid growth, although the
results of this may be seen by none ex-
cept the most careful observer until
after the flowering buds start to form
weeks after. The reason for this is
that at first the yellowed areas are in-
conspicuous and can hardly be seen ex-
cept when held between the eye and
the source of light. Later, as the leaf
grows and becomes thicker, these spots
do not grow in thickness with the leaf
and, consequently, appear sunken and
are conspicuously yellow or almost
white. With an abundance of sunlight
the tendency to come in yellowed seems
reduced. Yellowed plants have been
produced experimentally by the removal
of all flowers from plants which have
been allowed to crop. The removal of
the flowers has resulted in the removal
of a great area of leaf surface which is
necessary for plant growth. The few
leaves remaining on the basal portions
of the branches are not suflBcient to per-

form the normal functions of the plant.
On the other hand, plants which have
never cropped and have always been
permitted to retain an average amount
of foliage have never become yellowed.
The evidence seems to indicate that yel-
lows is an indication of improper treat-
ment. The improper treatment men-
tioned above has produced badly yel-
lowed plants. Other improper condi-
tions are probably capable of producing
it.
Preventive Methods — Not Cures.
Suggestions offered for the preven-
tion of this disease are the discarding
of unusually susceptible varieties, the
taking of cuttings from perfectly healthy
and vigorous plants, an early and fre-
quent pinching rather than an occa-
sional severe pinching, the prevention
of the cropping of the individual plant
as well as of the plants as a whole, an
avoidance of vigorous forcing during
the early part of the season, and indi-
vidual attention to each plant to pre-
vent the loss of an undue amount of
foliage upon the removal of all flowers.
It is thought, from the observations
and the experience of many of the best
growers, that an excess of water in the
soil and atmosphere at a time when
plants are severely or partially cut back
will result in the forcing of water, in-
tended for a large leaf area, into the re-
duced area and result in iniury. This
may be partially responsible for the
more pronounced appearance of yellows
during cloudy weather. This point,
while suggestive, remains to be proven
experimentally, but might well be kept
in mind by the grower. While the work
upon yellows is by no means completed,
it is deemed wise at this time to give
whatever information we have to the
grower. One thing to be emphasized is
that a plant must receive proper treat-
ment, both in regard to soil fertility and
methods of culture, at all stages of
growth if it is hoped to keep it in a
healthy condition. Disease prevention
is always more logical and satisfactory
than disease cure.
Fusarium Wilt of Carnations,
This disease, known as "dry" stem-
rot and "branch wilt," varies in se-
verity in different sections of the coun-
try and often becomes epidemic in na-
ture. In the southern states this is a
serious disease, which, when once start-
ed, shows up year after year, being re-
sponsible for the death or failure of
plants to develop after benching. In
the north and east the disease is more
spasmodic, but often becomes epidemic.

The Feature of the New Amliog Store at Chicago is that its Width Permits the Use of Refrigerators on Both Sides.
Work, here, in connection with a sur-
vey of the fungi present in greenhouse
soils, has shown that this fusarium is
present in abundance in all carnation
soils. Infection, however, seldom takes
place if the temperature is held as low
as is consistent with the full develop-
ment of the carnation and if the spac-
ing allows ample circulation of air
around each plant. The fungus is most
active at high temperature — a condition
to be avoided. Soil sterilization is im-
practical, for the fungus may be brought
into the houses anew on the soil cling-
ing to transplanted plants. However,
if the disease has once become serious
in a house, it is recommended that the
plants transplanted to the field be placed
in soil which has not been grown to
carnations for some time, and that the
houses and benches be thoroughly ster-
ilized with a strong fungicide before
bringing in fresh soil which has never
been grown to carnations. Absolute
cleanliness and the destruction of all
dead parts of plants are essential for
the holding of this disease in check.
This fungus is often serious as a cause
of damping off in the propagating bench,
as it is quite common to find ninety-five
per cent of the dead or undeveloped cut-
tings attacked by this fungus. Ordi-
narily, it need not be feared if fresh,
clean sand is used in the propagating
bench.
Assistance Offered by University.
At present work is being done to de-
termine if the fusarium which causes the
wilts of tomatoes, potatoes, etc., will at-
tack the carnation. The application
may be seen, but until we have complete
results, no recommendations in this di-
rection are offered.
In addition to the above, work is be-
ing continued upon aster wilt and yel-
lows, and an attempt is being made to
produce a rust-resistant snapdragon.
New diseases in the form of a bacterial
decay of cyclamens, a crown blight of
ligustrum and a disease of canna root
stock have been under observation. Se-
rious diseases, other than floricultural
ones, have also come to our attention.

Hartford, Conn. — A fine group of
flower shops can be seen in the Capital
city. Their attractiveness doubtless
contributes largely to the excellent busi-
ness done. John Coombs owns two that
take the output of his extensive green-
houses. Welch, Inc., has the latest in a
delivery auto, painted black and white,
the lower part of the body resembling
mosaic or miniature checkers. It is a
startler.
Hartford, Conn. — Carl Peterson, pro-
,prietor of the Whiting Greenhouses, has
for many years grafted his own rose
stock and finds this season a large num-
ber of failures following grafting. In-
spection of the Manetti shows it has
died down so that hardly any can be used
over again. The loss runs near fifty per
cent. Reporting on business and pros-
pects, Mr. Peterson says: "We are now

Carnation yellows, perhajts. requires

among growers and ]iathologists is due
to the similarity between yellows, bac-
teriosis and stigmonose. In fact, at
certain stages of development it is al-
most impossible to distinguish lietween
the three without recourse to the micro-
Bcope and the ]>ui-(> culture methods of
the pathologist. A report of the work
upon yellows, giving the characteristics
•which distinguish this disease from stig-
monose and bacteriosis. may be found

)iation Society for 1017. Since the prep-
aration of that paper, the data which

cropping, and the removal of all Ilowers
has left only the basal portions of the
stems, the young shoots developing at
this time have always come in yellowed.
The tendency to come in yellowed seems
to he especially marked if cloudy
Aveather prevails when the young shoots
arc making a lajiid growth, although the
results of this m.ay be seen by none ex-
cept the most careful oliservcr until
after the flowering buds start to form
weeks after. The reason for this is
that at first the yellowed areas are in-
consj)icuous and can hardly be seen ex-
cept when held between the eye and
the source of light. Later, as the leaf
grows and becomes thicker, these spots
do not grow in thickness with the leaf
and, consequently, apjiear sunken and
are conspicuously yellow or almost
white. With an abundance of sunlight
the tendency to come in yellowed seems
reduced. Yellowed jdants have been
jiroduced experimentally by the removal
of all flowers from plants which have
been allowed to crop. The removal of
the flowers has resulted in the removal
of a great area of leaf surface which is
necessary for plant growth. The few
leaves remaining on the basal portions
of the branches are not sufficient to per-

form the normal functions of the plant.
On the other hand, ]>lants which have
never cropped and have always been
permitted to retain an average amount
of foliage have never become yellowed.
The evidence seems to indicate that yel-
lows is an indication of improper treat-
ment. The imjiroper treatment men-
tioned above has produced badly yel-
lowed plants. Other improper condi-
tions are probably capable of producing
it.
Preventive Methods — Not Cures.
Suggestions offered for the preven-
tion of this disease are the discarding
of unusually susceptible varieties, the
taking of cuttings from perfectly healthy
and vigorous plants, an early and fre-
quent pinching rather than an occa-
sional severe pinching, the prevention
of the cropping of the individual plant
as well as of the plants as a whole, an
avoidance of vigorous forcing during
the early part of the season, and indi-
vidual attention to each plant to pre-
vent the loss of an undue amount of
foliage upon the removal of all flowers.
Tt is thought, from the observations
and the experience of many of the best
growers, that an excess of water in the
soil and atmosphere at a time when
]j]ants are severely or partially cut back
will result in the forcing of water, in-
tended for a large leaf area, into the re-
duced area and result in injury. This
mav be partially responsible for the
more pronounced appearance of yellows
during cloudy weather. This point,
wliile suggestive, remains to be proven
experimentally, but might well bo kept
in mind by the grower. While the work
upon yellows is by no means completed,
it is deemed wise at this time to give
whatever information we have to the
grower. One thing to lie emphasized is
that a plant must receive proper treat-
ment, both in regard to soil fertility and
methods of culture, at all stages of
growth if it is hoped to keep it in a
healthy condition. Disease prevention
is always more logical and satisfactory
than disease cure.
Fusarlum Wilt of Carnations.
This disease, known as "dry" stem-
rot and "branch wilt." varies in se-
verity in different sections of the coun-
try and often becomes epidemic in na-
ture. In the southern states this is a
serious disease, whifdi. when once start-
ed, shows up year after year, being re-
sponsilile for the death or failure of
])lants to develop after benching. In
the north and east the disease is more
spasmodic, but often becomes epidemic.

^Vork, lipie, in connection witii a sur-
vey of the fungi present in greenhouse
soils, lias shown tliat this fusarium is
present in abundance in all carnation
soils. Infection, liowever, seldom takes
place if the temperature is held as low
as is consistent with the full develop-
ment of the carnation and if the spac-
ing allows ample circulation of air
around each ]dant. The fungus is most
active at high temperature — a condition
to be avoided. Soil sterilization is im-
practical, for the fungus may be brought
into the houses anew on the soil cling-
ing to transplanted plants. However,
if the disease has once becoTue serious
in a house, it is recommended that the
plants transplanted to the field be placed
in soil which lias not been grown tn
carnations for some time, and that the
liouses and benches be thoroughly ster-
ilized with a strong fungicide before
bringing in fresh soil which has never
been grown to carnations. Absolute
cleanliness and the destruction of all
dead parts of plants are essential for
the holding of tliis disease in click.
This fungus is often serious as a cause
of damping ofT in the jiropagatiiig bendi.
as it is quite counnon to find ninety-five
per cent of the dead or undeveloped cut-
tings attacked by this fungus. Ordi-
naril}', it need not be feared if frcsli,

liench.
Assistance Offered by University.
At present work is being done to de-
termine if the fusarium which causes the
wilts of tomatoes, potatoes, etc.. will at
tack the carnation. The application
may be seen, but until we have complete
results, no recommendations In this di-
rection are ofl'ered.
In addition to the above, wmk is be-
ing cdiitinued upon aster wilt and yel-
lows, and an attempt is being made tn

Canterbury Bells.
The earliest batch of Canterbury bells
has spikes twelve to fifteen inches in
height. These are grown in a carnation
temperature, which is as warm as Can-
terbury bells will succeed in. Great care
is necessary during the winter and early
spring to water moderately and never to
wet the foliage any more than is really
necessary. If the plants are kept moder-
ately dry at the roots until the end of
March, there will be little trouble from
rot, but if kept steadily damp at the
roots, whole plants sometimes will rot
away. This fact is not sufficiently ap-
preciated, and until it is there will be
many disappointments for those who
grow these beautiful plants under glass.
About the middle of March make a sow-
ing of seed for next season. The singles
are the best to grow, and pure white,
pink and mauve ^re the more desirable
colors. The doubles and hose-in-hose va-
rieties are too heavy and need too much
staking.
Asters.
Make a generous sowing of early as-
ters for outdoor planting now. There is
no better variety than Queen of the
Market, and white, pink and lavender
are the only colors that have much of a
sale, with white selling the best. Do not
sow the seeds too thickly in the flats,
and as soon as they are germinated give
them a light position on a shelf, where
they will be kept stocky. When of suf-
ficient size, prick them off into flats.
Shade the seedlings for a few days and
be sure to keep them well up to the
glass. Allowing the seedlings to become
crowded in the seed flats and delaying
transplanting so long that, in order to
firm the plants properly, the stems must
be more or less buried, is the surest way
to develop stem-rot. The rot may not ap-
pear right away, but a wet spell after
the plants are in the field will soon make
them show signs of distress. Outdoor-
sown asters are much less subject to
stem-rot than those started under glass.
Buddleia Asiatica.
Buddleia Asiatica is one of the most
valuable winter-flowering plants sent out
for some years. It can be had in fine
bloom as early as the beginning of De-
cember by giving the plants a night tem-
perature of 50 to 52 degrees, or by hold-
ing the plants a little above freezing
they can be retarded until March. They
are so easy to grow that it would pay
every florist who sells pot plants to try
a few. In addition, the cut flowers have
considerable value. From outback plants
a crop of nice cuttings will now be avail-
able. These will root in a fortnight and,
if potted on from time to time and given
one or two pinches, they will make splen-
did, bushy stock in 8-inch pots before
fall. They are better if grown outdoors
during summer, plunged to the brims,
and need much water and doses of liquid
manure when the pots are well filled with
active roots.
Calceolarias.
Calceolarias make their best growth
during the coldest months of the year.
They need to be grown cool. They will
simply not tolerate any coddling; a tem-
perature a few degrees above fr3ezing
suits them. If grown warmer they are
simply worried by green aphides and fu-
migation once a week is necessary to
keep them absolutely clean. Now that
the plants are nicely established in their
blooming pots, give them occasional
doses of liquid cow or sheep manure.
Before the flower shoots are too far ad-
vanced, use as supports one or two light,
neat stakes in each pot. This is neces-
sary both with the herbaceous and
rugosa sections, which are equally brit-
tle. The sun has not yet sufficient power
to affect them, but about the middle of
March a light shade from direct sun-
shine will be found necessary.
Marguerites.
Take a batch of cuttings now from
any of the white or yellow varieties of
marguerites if you want nice plants for
spring sales. The white variety, Mrs.
Sander, is especially good for outdoor
planting and piazza boxes. It blooms
persistently and the flowers in summer
nearly all come double. Plants of the
white varieties propagated between now
and the early part of April and grown
along in pots will make fine plants for
blooming early next winter. It is pos-
sible to have plants in full bloom for
Thanksgiving or Christmas by discon-
tinuing pinching twelve weeks before
the plants are wanted. The leaf miner
is often troublesome on marguerite fo-
liage. It can be killed by spraying the
plants with a nicotine solution. One
spraying carefully given will kill every
worm.
Leavenworth, Kan. — G. Eozendal,
whose specialties are fruits, vegetables
and greenhouse lettuce, has been so well

Ennis, Tex. — The Dunlap greenhouse
here was heavily damaged by hail Feb-
ruary 22. Hailstones six to seven inches
in circumference fell in the town proper
and caused a loss estimated at $20,000.
GreeneviUe, Tenn. — The firm name of
the GreeneviUe Floral Co. has been
changed to Khea Floral Co. The change
was made necessary because people con-
fused the name GreeneviUe with many
local industries and because other towns
in various states bear the same name.
De Land, Fla. — E. A. Kuhnke, who was
for many years in the florists' business
at Toledo, 0., where he is said to have
accumulated a competence, since selling
out has made his residence here, where
he is not engaged in the trade, but
takes a strong interest in things horti-
cultural.
Oakman, Ga. — An Atlanta daily re-
cently published a lengthy write-up of

sheep ranch near Cartersville, while her
husband undertakes the less strenuous
work of growing grain seeds.
Denison, Tex. — Losses of glass by
hail were severe here on the evening
of February 22, according to a local
daily. It is said that one range was
practically destroyed.
Albany, Ga. — J. P. Metzger, of At-
lanta, has been chosen superintendent
of parks here, to succeed E. C. Orr, Jr.
Mr. Metzger has done landscape gar-

Everybody invited. Come and get
yours."
Brunswick, Ga. — With respect to his
recent tour of inspection, David Grif-
fiths, the Department of Agriculture's
bulb expert, told a reporter: "1 visited
the bulb farms of C. S. Tait, who devotes
all his spare time to raising narcissus
bulbs. On his farm he has planted 75,-
000 of one variety and 50,000 of an-
other. I also visited Mr. Tait's bulb
farm at New Hope, where he has planted
nearly 200,000 bulbs, and his success
convinces me you are missing a great
opportunity by not taking advantage of
your superior soil. Glynn county is to
be congratulated on having a citizen of
Mr. Tait 's type. Although it is a hobby
with him, he has demonstrated the bulbs
can be grown here successfully."

ANOTHER HEAVY TAX.
The so-called excess profits tax pro-
vided for by act of Congress last woek
will bear heavily on many comparatively
small partnerships and corporations
throughout the country and will be a
penalty of success in the florists' trade.
In this business none of the partnerships
or corporations employ large capital, the
earnings being the result of individual
effort rather than the use of money.
Consequently the profits of most success-
ful concerns in this line are considerably
in excess of the exemptions and there-
fore largely subject to the special tax of
eight per cent.
This is the way it will figure out in
the case of a corporation with $25,000
capital stock which has accumulated and
is using a surplus of $10,000, doing a
general florists' business of approximate-
ly $100,000 and making a net profit of
$12,500 per year:
Net annual Income $12,500
Amount exempt —
Specific exemption $5,000
8 per cent of $35,000 2,800
7.800
Balance subject to tax $ 4,700
Amount of tax at 8 per cent 376
The excess profits tax is in addition to
the income tax of two per cent on the
total net profit and is additional to
state, county, city, school and other
local taxes on real and personal property
and the capital stock taxes levied in
many states.
OBITUARY
LACHENALIA TBICOLOS.
Can you tell me the name of the en-
closed flower? It is a bulb and blooms
annually. Do you believe it would
be a good thing to work up a stock of?
H. B.— Wis.
It is Lachenalia tricolor Nelsoni, a
variety of bulb from the Cape of Good
Hope, requiring treatment similar to that
of freesias. Half a dozen bulbs suffice
for a 6-inch pan, or twelve to sixteen for
an 8-inch pan, Lachenalias succeed best
in an ordinary greenhouse, kept at not
over 50 degrees at night, and should be
kept well up to the glass. The flowers
keep fresh for a number of weeks. It
is increased by bulblets, which are freely
produced, a majority of which will flower
the following season. Small ones can be
sown in pans and grown for a season.
They will flower a year later. Seed, if
sown in early spring in pans or flats of
sandy soil, will produce a few flowers
the first year. Gradually dry off after
flowering and repot in August or Sep-
tember. Lachenalias are rarely seen
commercially, but should prove a desir-
able novelty if nicely flowered.

Terre Haute, Ind, — Material has be-
gun to arrive for the five new green-
houses which are to be added this spring

being 80x600. Like the other houses
in the range, these are to be built by
the Lord & Burliham Co., the material
coming from the factory at Des Plaines,
Hi. While the original houses are de-
voted exclusively to cucumbers, plans
are being made for using some of the
new space for cut flowers.
A. A. Seed.
A. A. Reed, of Whitman, Mass., who
died February 26 in his seventy-eighth
year, was one of the best known and
most highly respected florists in Massa-
chusetts. He was a Civil war veteran
and lost a leg in that great struggle. He
attended many of the grand army en-
campments, going to California only a
few years ago, and always visited places
of horticultural interest while on these
visits. At Whitman he had an excellent
local trade, for which he grew a gen-
eral line of stock. He was fond of or-
chids, which he grew particularly well,
including not only cattleyas, but also
zygopetalums, phalajnopsis and other
species. The deceased was a well in-
formed and most genial man and was
highly popular in the community where
he resided so many years. A. Roy Reed,
his son, who has been associated with
him in business for some years, will con-
tinue the Whitman business. W. N. C.
David W. Duncan.
David W. Duncan died at Arlington,
Mass., February 22. He was 50 years
old. He came from Glasgow, Scotland,
and had resided in Arlington about
twenty-five years, being most of the time
in business as a florist. Part of his prod-
uce was sold at the Boston Cooperative
Market, where he was for some years a
stall-holder. The interment was at
Arlington, February 25. W. N. C.
Otto Schucht.
Otto Schucht, aged 89 years, of She-
boygan, Wis., died February 26, of senile
debility.
For years Mr. Schucht conducted a
greenhouse business at Sheboygan. He
was born May 20, 1837, in Mecklenburg-
Schwerin, Germany. He immigrated to
New York in 1849 and came to Sheboy-
gan to make his home. In 1852 the de-
cedent moved to San Francisco, then to
Portland, Ore., and Vancouver, only to
return to Wisconsin in 1864. Mr.
Schucht suffered severe business re-
verses, but in 1890 he conducted a suc-
cessful florists' business at Sheboygan.
The decedent is survived by his aged
wife and eight children. One son, Wil-
liam G., is a florist at Chilton, Wis,
August Luther.
August Luther, Sr., one of the pioneer
florists of Kansas City, Mo., passed away
last week. He had been a florist for
thirty-nine years and was well known
in the middle west. Taken with illness
several years ago, the decedent sold
most of his interest in the business to
liis son, August, who successfully man-
ages it today.
Mr. Luther's love of flowers is shown
in a provision of his will. The sum of
$1,000 is left in trust, the interest of
which is to pay for the upkeep of his own
and wife's grave in Forest Hill ceme-
tery. The will specifies that cut fiowers
be placed on the graves Memorial and
other days.

Commenting on the evolution of
events, Charles Loveridge compared his
condition when he first landed in Chi-
cago, in 1886, with exactly $1.35 in his
pocket, with his present prosperity as
proprietor of a flourishing business at
Peoria, 111. "Opportunity, good for-
tune and 'pep' have made things lovely
and placed us on the ridge-plate of suc-
cess," was the decision of our worthy
confrere.
A. Washburn & Sons, of Bloomington,
111., have decided to refrain from adding
more glass at present, but they have
splendid facilities, including a switch
from the electric railroad into their
place. The shortage in the supply of
flowers no doubt will be a factor in fur-
ther expansion. The store is a model of
cleanliness and arrangement.
"Our experience this season," ob-
served J. M. Imlay, of the Imlay Co.,
of Zanesville, O., "is that the call for
roses exceeds that for carnations. While
we sold all the carnations we produced,
our grower's record shows a yield of
twenty-four blooms by each carnation
plant and a yield of twenty-seven blooms
by each rose plant. This proves that, at
the present time, the rose is the most
profitable. We shall not change, how-
ever, when replanting. Alice is the best
cropping carnation we have. It is also
a splendid keeper. Killarney is' our most
profitable rose. We planted Mrs. Bayard
Thayer in place of Russell, but it is not
a success, as you see. Hoosier Beauty
we consider too thin in foliage — so much
space between breaks. This batch of
tomato plants is to be planted between
the carnations about the end of this
month, two rows on the 5-foot bench.
The plants, when above the wires, are
run up on a single string. They are kept
as bushy as possible, and at that time
benefit the carnations by their shading.
Last season we received $900 for 1,700
plants, netting about 40 cents per bush.
Each plant produced a cluster of from
seven to nine fruits, and these were
easily disposed of to one local grocery.
We are not vegetable growers, but think
it a profitable side line. The variety is
Comet and invariably comes perfect.
Radishes and lettuce follow chrysanthe-
mums, and in turn are followed by sweet
peas," concluded Mr. Imlay, A first-
class line of Dutch bulbous stock was
noted. Couronne d'Or and Murillo tu-
lips, in bloom February 1, were partic-
ularly fine; also miniatures, violets, prim-
roses and pansies. About 15,000 pansies
are grown outdoors for the retail trade.
An additional house for storage, 30x100,
of concrete or tile, will be built this sum-
mer. Pointing to a herd of Holstein cat-
tle, Mr. Imlay remarked that the an-
imals were a valuable accessory.
As an instance of the condition of the
flower pot industry, I learned that the
Peters & Reed Pottery Co., of South
Zanesville, O., is filling an order for
twenty-one cars and one for six cars,
for two eastern houses, to be sent to the
buyers' western customers.

Reaulti bring advertising.
The Review brings results.
There will be no shortage of stock at
Easter unless weather conditions play
pranks with the plans of the plantsmen.
Announcement comes from Pittsburgh
that all makers of steel and iron pipe
again have advanced prices, this time $4
to $6 a ton.
Now is the time for florists who retail
seeds to resurrect the display cabinet from
the storeroom, fill in the lithographed
packages and give the case a prominent
place "up front."
The Review has been notified to dis-
continue the mailing of the paper to its
subscribers in Belgium for the reason, so
the postmaster says, that the mail service
to that country has been suspended.
It is worth while to note that the men
who seem to be permanently most suc-
cessful in this trade are not ' ' Cheap
Johns ; ' ' they produce a consistently
good grade of stock and ask fair prices
for it.
The plantsmen have adopted the Euro-
pean practice of charging the customer
for packing materials, or at least a con-
siderable number of the leaders have. Of
course, such a charge carries with it the
obligation to pack well and lightly, so
there should be a distinct gain to the buy-
ers if the careless ones also adopt the
custom.
"In the Review I often see growers
telling how good their stock is," writes
L. H. Haney, of Greenfield, Ind., "but I
do not see that I need to take a back seat
among the sweet pea growers. In case
the editor is from Missouri I am mailing
a sample of my Rose Queen." The flow-
ers that accompanied the letter had stems
twenty inches long.
Growers who find the cost of coal
burdensome, and who seek relief through
the us*««»f crude oil, find that the latter
fuel also has advanced in price, fully a^
much as has been the case with coal. '
A CONSIDERABLE number of growers
have obtained their fuel this year at con-
tract price, if with some difficulty on the
score of transportation, but they find that
when the old contracts expire new con-
tracts cannot be made except at? an ad-
vance of at least $1 per ton.
Alois Frey, Crown Point, Ind., last
week sent The Review a box of his Rain-
bow freesias. It was not the first time,
and they always have been good, but
these were the best yet. Mr. Prey is
making steady improvement in his stock
by selection for size of flowers, brightness
and purity of color and robustness of
habit. It is understood he is flowering
this season some 20,000 seedlings pro-
duced from his best varieties of previous
years.
IT SELLS FOB ALL.
It makes no difference where the flo-
rist is located. The Review sells for all.
Like this:
We carried an ad of Francis King gladioli ex-
oliisivt'ly in The lleview und find that we are
entirely sold out of that variety. — Los Robles
Nursery & Garden, Santa Cruz, Cal., February
22, 1917.
Please stop the ad, as I am compelled to return
checks after having sold all I had. The only
way to keep up with The Review is to have a
Kreat many more of an article than you think
.vou can possibly sell.— Ernst Manthey, Jr., St.
hernard, O., February 26, 1917.
When you hear a man complain of the
cost of advertising you can be pretty
certain he spends a good bit of money
elsewhere than in The Review.
FLOEISTS OF NEW YOEK.
In a circular letter sent to all the
florists in New York state, A. L. Miller,
vice-president of the S. A. F., urges non-
members to join the S. A. F. at once. In
this connection he gives some interest-
ing facts as to the extent of the trade
in his state. That paragraph of his
letter is as follows:
"Greater New York has 914 live flo-
rists; the state of New York has 1,898,
making a grand total of 2,812. The
present membership of New York state
in our national society is 252. Although
this is the highest state membership, I
regret to say that it is a poor showing
for the Empire state. Would it not be
gratifying to have a membership of
1,000 at the opening of the convention ? ' '
Vice-president Miller does not indi-
cate the source of his information re-
garding the number of florists in New
York state. When the government took
the census of 1910 it enumerated 1,398
florists' establishments in that state.
The government counted only florists
having glass, greenhouses or hotbeds, but
it included any whose principal occupa-
tion was something else but who derived
twenty per cent of their annual income
from the sale of plants or flowers.
GLASS PRICES GO UP.
In accordance with the forecast made
in The Review earlier in the year, the
prices of glass still are going up. There
was another advance March 1, in ex-
planation of which the following state-
ment wrfs given out at Pittsburgh, the
headquarters of the window glass in-
dustry:
"The window glass output is still
being curtailed, and the operating cost
at the factories has been greatly in-
creased. In view of this the Johnston
Brokerage Co. has withdrawn its prices,
and the American Window Glass Co.
has announced new discounts in price
of slightly better than ten per cent in
lieu of price vdthdrawal.
"The Johnston Co., in announcing its
decision, issued the following statement:
' During the last month fully half of the
factories of the cofPtry have been out
of blast, and at certain periods two-
thirds of the plants have been closed,
owing to lack of fuel and material, poor
railroad service and freight congestion.
This has retarded the completion of our
old contracts and has made deliveries of
new business uncertain until our sold
business has reached a point where the
factories do not care to increase it at
present discounts at this time; therefore
we are instructed to withdraw our prices
and to quote only on specifications as
thev are submitted.' "
HOLLAND MAIL LOST.
The trade is notified that all the mail
for Holland that arrived at New York
between January 19 and February 17,
almost a month, accumulated there and
was lost when the Laconia went down.
It included a large number of orders for
1917 imports.
Mail lost when the Laconia was sunk
included that addressed to European
countries, except Germany, Austria-
Hungary, Bulgaria, Turkey and Russia,
received at New York from noon Feb-
ruary 14 to noon February 17, as well as
that for South Africa, West Australia
and India. Mail for Holland received
at New York from January 19 to Feb-
ruary 17, and for Norway, Sweden and
Denmark from February 1 to February
17, and parcel post mail for Great Bri-
tain and Ireland received at New York
from January 27 to February 17 also was
lost.
CHICAGO.
The Market.
City trade has been dull, due in a large
measure to Lent, and houses which have
little shipping trade are agreed that
business has been poor indeed. Those
whose trade consists in large measure
of out-of-town business", however, were
more cheerful, as the demand from this
source was steady and fairly large.
Roses are at present off crop with most
growers, but the supply is more than
enough to meet the demand and prices,
on the whole, are lower. Growers are
sizing up their crops to see what they
will have for Easter and present indica-
tions are that the supply of roses will
be about normal. Long-stemmed Amer-
ican Beauties are expected to be in a
little short supply, but an abundance of
medium length and shorter stock is ex-
pected. It also seems probable that the
supply of carnations will be none too
plentiful, as there has been a heavy
crop cut and the new crop with most
growers will probably not come in until
after Easter. This should create a
larger demand for roses and bulbous
stock.
There was an immense quantity of
bulbous stock on the market last week,
amounting almost to a glut. The de-
mand was poor and prices sank low,
in many cases being not much higher
than the original cost of the bulbs.
American Beauties are perhaps the
one important item which sold up to
Mabch 8, 1917.

quotation figures steadily throughout the
week. The supply is not large, but in
most cases probably sufficient to meet
the demand. The supply of carnations
was ample, the demand being decidedly
sluggish.
Valley remains about the same. The
supply is not large, but sufficient to meet
the demand. Easter lilies and callas sell
slowly and anyone with a large supply
of violets had his hands full. Sweet
peas did a little better. Mignonette
also has not been selling well, while
Paper Whites, which are at the end of
their season, dragged heavily for the
most part. Poeticus, too, moved slowly,
while tulips, jonquils, daffodils and free-
sias all dragged heavily. Pansies arrive
in small supply and sell fairly well. The
supply of snapdragons increases and
they have been selling fairly well.
Plumosus is still scarce, but the sup-
ply is a little larger than the week be-
fore. The price of most other greens
has advanced.

Various Notes.
Poehlinann Bros. Co. has consummated
a three years' lease on the second floor
of the building at 66 to 70 East Kan-
dolph street, one door west of its present
location. The additional space, which is
equal in size to the second floor of their
present store, will be used for the show
and sales rooms of the supply depart-
ment, the fourth floor at 72 East Ran-
dolph street, now used for this purpose,
being retained as a stock and shipping
room. An arch will be cut through the
walls of the two buildings, connecting
the new rooms with the cut flower de-
partment, located on the second floor at
72 East Randolph street. The need of
additional space for the supply depart-
ment has long been felt by the com-
pany, as that department has shown
large growth within the last year. The
new rooms will meet this need ad-
mirably.
The American Greenhouse Mfg. Co.
has received an order from Gullet &
Sons, Lincoln, 111., for the erection of a
new range consisting of ten houses 200
feet in length, of the new Agmco pipe
frame type. This new range will be
devoted entirely to the growing of
plants and together with the houses now
used for this purpose should place the
firm in the front rank of growers in the
middle west.
A new firm, the Rapid Wrapper Co.,
56 East Randolph street, opened for busi-
ness last week. This concern will manu-
facture patented paper wrappers for
plants which are so constructed that a
plant can be completely wrapped in a
few seconds, saving both paper and
labor.
Although the average size of sales
decreases year by year, thereby increas-
ing the cost of doing business and cut-
ting the percentage of profit, W. J.
Smyth says the total sales at his store
thus far have increased rapidly enough
to keep the net profit from decreasing
materially in any year, with the first
half of this year showing a turn in his
favor.
Emil Buettner and wife, accompanied
by Mr. Buettner 's brother and wife, left
for Pasadena, Cal., March 6. They ex-
pect to return about a week before
Easter.
Carl N. Thomas, who has spent the
winter, as usual, in the cut flower de-
partment of the A. L. Randall Co., re-
turned March 3 to his summer home at
West Springfield, Pa.
Charles Wiflfin, of Des Plaines, 111., ac-
companied by his son, Sidney, will leave
for South Dakota, March 10, where
they have taken up farm lands. They
intend to do stock raising and general
farming, returning at the end of the
summer.

he expects to see a shortage this year,
not as many lilies having been grown as
formerly. Last year, he says, was a

who accordingly discontinued growing
them.

The Market.
At this writing, March 4, a blizzard
is raging that rivals any we have had
this season. A mixture of sleet and
snow, driven at hurricane speed, dis-
courages the most optimistic anticipa-
tions of the coming of spring. A heavy
snow a few nights ago caused glass to
break at several greenhouses.
During the previous week summery
weather brought large quantities of flow-
ers of all kinds to the market. Shortly
afterward Mr. "Winter dropped down
upon us and slackened the sale of most
flowers greatly. A large quantity of
bulbous stock is being brought in, as
well as snapdragons, sweet peas and
all other flowers. Snapdragons, while of
excellent quality, are dragging. Their
sale is not in keeping with that of for-
mer years. Owing to the immense cuts
of sweet peas and violets, many blooms
find their way to the ash cans. Carna-
tions and roses continue to move at usual
prices and, although there is an in-
creased quantity, there is never a sur-
plus on hand.
Lilies are still rather scarce, though
probably in a few days they will arrive
more plentifully. Quantities of plants
are being sent in daily. Cinerarias, prim-
ulas and bulbous plants are in abun-
dance. There also are some extremely
good azaleas, a large proportion of them
having been carried-over plants. They
were flowered more easily than newly
imported plants.
Various Notes.
While coal is arriving more freely,
thanks to the release of many cars, the
price is still soaring and is causing much
unrest in the trade, especially to those
who have much glass to heat. Those who

stored their winter supply — at least
what was considered enough to last
through the winter — ran out -of coal
some weeks ago, and many are having
great diflBculty in procuring their sup-
ply. On account of the high price of
coal during the last season, nearly all
of the vegetable growers of this section
abandoned their greenhouses. They are
now planting the houses. Lettuce at
present is selling at 60 cents per pound.
Decorations are claiming the services
of many of the stores at this time. The
force of F. Walker & Co. spent a pleas-
ant Sunday erecting the large decora-
tions at the New York store. It was one
of the largest opening decorations of the
season, calling for blooming plants by
the wagon load, as well as the usual

The Market.
Last week business was particularly
poor. Apparently the Lenten season is
being strictly observed, for there is lit-
tle doing in the way of social functions.
The market is well stocked with cut
flowers and seasonable plants, and prices
are somewhat easier. The weather has
improved and sunshine each day is bring-
ing stock along in good shape. There
is no shortage of anything in cut flow-
ers; rather more, in some kinds, than
the market requires. The supply of roses
is large, especially in the longer grades,
but there is still a decided shortage in
short-stemmed stock. Eussell, Mary-
land, Ward, Sunburst, Killarney and
Montrose roses are the best sellers; the
daily demand is quite large.
Carnations are plentiful and sell well.
A few good reds are seen now, but they
do not sell readily. The market has
been overstocked with violets and many
have been disposed of at 35 cents per
hundred. The demand for sweet peaa is
quite good, and these are of exceptional
quality, with stems extra long. Orchids
and gardenias are moving more easily
now. Mignonette, myosotis, snapdragons
and jonquils are popular in basket work.
There is a good demand for the spring
flowers, but the daily consignments are
large. Golden Spur and Emperor nar-
cissi sell fast. Poeticus and Paper

The Market.
A week of extraordinarily unfavor-
able weather was the first one in March.
It was so dark in the middle of the day
in the central part of the city, when the
week opened, that lights were used on
trolleys, on motors and in the office
buildings. There was snow, and hail,
and sleet, and rain, and darkness in the
hours of daylight. People generally
went about in a dispirited sort of way,
telling each other what a miserable sort
of day yesterday had been; they won-
dered whether today was much better
and doubted whether tomorrow could be
much worse.
Has Phil forgotten that he is writing
about the cut flower market? By no
means. The effect of the weather on
the cut flower market has been disas-
trous. Production has suffered, although
the wholesalers and retailers will not
believe it. Business has suffered much
more. Values have receded. Averages
have dropped. Some flowers even have
remained unsold. One discouraged sales-
man made a careful comparison between
this first week in March and the dullest
week in midsummer, with advantage to

the latter. But this is going rather far.
Greens are the only stock except
Beauties that can be described as in
short supply. Smilax is short; aspara-
gus is extremely short. This market has
been accustomed to rely on outdoor
southern sprays of Asparagus plumosus
during the late winter and early spring.
Unhappily, for the first time in a dec-
ade tfack Frost went as far south as
Jupiter, quite a long way south of
Jacksonville, Fla., where the brothers
Pennock have slat houses for asparagus.
Jack Frost invaded these houses, nipped
the tender shoots and changed the as-
paragus from select to ordinary, when
select was most badly needed.
There are several changes in the bulb
situation. Emperor daffodils have ar-
rived; they are, of course, preferred to
Golden Spur. The double tulips, Cou-
ronne d'Or, Murillo and Salvator Rosa,
find a market, while the singles have a
stale time. Mignonette, daisies, prim-
ulas, calendulas, violets and here and
there snapdragon, waste their beauty
unseen. Sweet peas have been awfully
plentiful. That is about the story.
Why go further? We hope for better
things when it clears.

The Change in the Market.
There is room for wide difference of
opinion as to why the market declined
at the end of February. One thought-
ful observer said that it always declined
at the beginning of Lent; that after 11
week or ten days of decline business
went on quite smoothly at the new level
of price. Another said it was not the
arrival of Lent that caused the change,
but the arrival of more flowers. Still

another said that Lent really had little
to do with it; that the trouble was
caused by the exciting conditions ram-
pant in the big world, conditions that
affected our business at this time. Yet
still another asserted that the effect of
Lent was a thing of the past.
A curious part of the change from ex-
treme activity to only fair activity —
which by comparison seemed dullness —
was the use made of it by the city buy-
ers. The first Saturday in Lent closed
with quite a little unsold stock left on
hand. This was unusual and disquiet-
ing. They felt badly about it, quite
naturally. So as early in the following
week as possible, each and every buyer
called on his friends in the wholesale
districts to point out the need for an
immediate reduction in prices, as a mat-
ter of self-preservation for all.
The powerful argument that prices
are invariably settled the world over by
the laws of supply and demand passed
unheeded. The earnest statement that
growers could not be expected to keep
on growing good stock unless fair prices
were realized by their flowers, proved
equally futile. One clever buyer said
that the poor people, on whom depend-
ence is placed in the spring, would not
have any money with which to buy flow-
ers, owing to the high cost of living.

A Floral Barometer.
It so chanced that opportunity offered
for this week's study the window of W.
H. Ferguson & Son. The impressions
given by this window, with its fine set-
ting for display, always helped in form-
ing a correct idea of the market condi-
tions. "When flowers wore scarce at the
holidays, the Christmas color was shown
in beautiful red baskets. When one or
more varieties of flowers became plen-
tiful, they were temptingly displayed in
this window. The window itself has
great natural advaiitaj^os. Its size and
the unusual width of the street on which
it fronts both aid in enhancing the dis-
play. The street is so wide tliat there
is perfect light, undimmod by reflection
or shadow.
Last week's arrangement, while sim-
ple, was effective. Two vases of orchids,
Cattleya Trianee, were in the foreground.
The deep blue vase on the east side was
filled with highly colored flowers; the
paler vase on the west side with flowers
of lighter shade.
Behind the cattleyas, in striking con-
trast, were two large, dark colored bowls
of Golden Spur daffodils, while the rear
of the window was filled with Cibotium
Rchiedei, its graceful fronds drooping
in the center over a bowl of Enchantress
carnations. The distances between the

More Reminiscences.
As I prepare my copy for The Review
this week my memory goes back to the
days of the old Maryland Horticultural
Society; and to what better use can we
devote a part of our column than to tell
some of the younger men in the trade
something of the past romance of the
business in which they are engaged!
The personnel of this society was com-
posed of laymen and those in the trade,
for commercial reasons. The society
usually gave four exhibitions a year,
two in the spring and two in the fall,
but these were more on the order of
social functions than flower shows. The
laymen members were men of wealth,
who had their own greenhouses and who
employed gardeners. Time and ex-
pense were not considered by them; the
main object was to get the prizes. These
shows were opportunities for the gar-
dener and his patrons to meet and talk
flowers, and in this way more was done
to advance the art than one would im-
agine.
It would be a treat to some of the
boys today to hear W. D. Brakenbridge,
R. J. Halliday, the elder William Fowler,
John Edward Feast, R. J. Halliday II,
W. B. Sands or James Pentland, at the
head of a party of ladies explaining the
exhibition, or telling of the advantages
of some particular plant, or perhaps giv-
ing some advice as to how a country
place should be laid out and what, in his
estimation, would be the best shrubbery

to use. They were men well qualified
to talk on any subject pertaining to
flowers, as they had all served an ap-
prenticeship of five and, in many cases,
seven years in Scotland, England or
Germany, where, after a day's work in
the graperies, the stove or vegetable
houses, they wrestled with Asa Gray in
the bothies at night.
Now, while the florist of that day
was in the business for the money just
as he is today, the production of fine
specimens came first, and every man
had his hobby — some special thing that
he liked better than others. I well re-
member a house 16x60 used for growing
roses in 5 and 6-inch pots for the spring
market. This house had a solid border
along one side, and on this border the
roses were grown. Along the roof of
the house I have seen bunches of Black
Hamburg grapes eighteen inches long.
At certain times of the year the vines
had to come down and, besides being

St. Patrick's Day Possiljilitles.
I heard a great deal about the in-
creased volume of business done at St.
Valentine's day, and this increase was
due to the efforts of the florists them-
selves. I have always maintained that
every holiday, from Thanksgiving right
up to Memorial day, could be made a
flower day, if the retailers would just
get together and, by cooperative adver-
tising, make the public take notice of
the days. St. Patrick 's day will be our
next holiday. Why could not the retail-
ers of our city get together, exchange
ideas and lay out a plan of campaign f
My suggestion would be for every flo-
rist on that occasion to have an Irish
picture window. He should spend a
little thought on it. He should feature
anything Irish in it, such as the harp,
plenty of shamrocks, the old high hat,
clay pipes, green ribbon — in fact, any-
thing that is strictly Irish. If everyone

who have not a drop of Irish blood in
their veins would send the novelties,
perhaps as a joke. Then you know the
box man can make a clover-leaf box of
green just as easily as he can a red
heart-shaped box for Valentine's day.
Try it once, to see if in time you will
not be as busy St. Patrick's day as on
others of the smaller holidays of the
season. The daily press will take no-
tice of such a movement. The impor-
tant part, in my estimation, is for all
to pull together. The business all over
town will be bettered.
Various Notes.
While there are not so many of the
larger entertainments, such as dinners,
teas, receptions and dances, I am told
that there was no falling off in business
during the first two weeks of Lent. It
is a little quiet, but before long things
in the society world get back to normal.
There is some complaint about roses;
that is, the better quality blooms are
scarce. Good white roses were hard to
get last week, but on the whole the
supply is about equal to the demand.
Bulbous stock is plentiful and good. Mr.
Moss is sending in fine callas. Mr. Erd-
man has a fine cut of sweet peas. His
Yarrawa peas are specially fine, with
good, stout stems measuring eighteen
inches and the flowers two to two and
one-half inches in diameter. Tate.

The Market.
The bottom fell out of the cut flower
market before February ended. Last
week was one of great depression, there-
fore, and prices broke suddenly and
without warning. The week's end saw
everyone loaded with the accumulations,
and with the demand, even from the
big buyers, far below anticipation.
There seemed to be a surplus of every-
thing, with the exception of American
Beauties. The selects of these were still
held at 75 rents each, and there were
but few of them. General business was
far below the average of the correspond-
ing week of a year ago.
Apart from Beauties and Hadley, all
other varieties of roses are selling at

far behind.
Longiflorum lilies were offered at $6
March 3. There was an immense supply
of them; also callas and rubrums, at
greatly reduced prices. Valley was
firm at the usual quotations. Tulips are
much more satisfactory in quality and
are in wonderful variety. There is no
market for the inferior gardenias, espe-
cially as the best now realize only $3 per
dozen. The best cattleyas did not sell
above 50 cents each, and from this level
ranged down to $3 per dozen. There are
enough arriving for the somewhat lim-
ited demand. Lilacs and acacias are
extra fine. Spring flowers are abundant,
including pansies, daisies, mignonette,

Various Notes.
An article in one of the leading New
York dailies had a good word for the
street merchants. It said:
LET THE FLOWER VENDERS SELL!
Along Fifth avenue and Broadway yesterday
there were any number of flower venders. It was
quite spring-ey and they seemed to be doing ex-
ceptionally well. Once or twice we saw an officer
Insist that they move along and In each case
the man moved uncomplainingly. We thought
through it all that they should be encouraged,
rather than lose the picturesqueness of it. In
every city abroad flower sellers are permitted.
Other venders are not. Flowers do not have the

The dyed flowers for St. Patrick 's day

this year, thanks to the scarcity of dyes
and the growing disfavor in which this
abnormality is held.

The Market.
Generally speaking, last week's busi-
ness was satisfactory to the wholesale
flower market. Although the Lenten
season made itself felt by the lack of
social functions requiring large quan-
tities of flowers, the demand was gcod
and, while prices dropped somewhat,
the volume of business done was good.
Large quantities of tulips, daffodils,
sweet peas and violets arrived, but they
dragged heavily even at bottom prices,

FLOWEEING PLANTS FOE JULY.
Sometime in July we expect to hold
a local flower show and I would like to
help make it a success. Can you give
me a list of flowering plants suitable
to exhibit in pots with a group of palms
and ferns? I have a greenhouse and
coldframes for growing them in. Any
information you can give me will be ap-
preciated. A. D. M. — 111.
Some of the plants suitable for your
purpose are: Lilium auratum, L. speci-
osum and L. regale; Trachelium
caeruleum; standard heliotropes; fuch-
sias, especially standards; tuberous-
rooted begonias; achimenes; hydrangeas,
more particularly late-flowered French
varieties; Allamanda Hendersoni and
A. Williamsi; dipladenias and Cleroden-
dron Balfouri. Geraniums, if well flow-
ered, could be used, those in standard
form being the best for dotting in
groups. Fancy-leaved caladiums would
be found useful, also some other colored-
leaved plants, if allowable. C. W.
La Fayette, Ind.-— William H. Robin-
son, whose specialties have been fruit,
honey and eggs, is finding the florists'
department of his business increasingly
important. He finds a good sale for all
he can grow.

The Market.
With only an occasional good day to
break the monotony, it can be truly said
that the market now is in something of
a slump. All kinds of flovrers are arriv-
ing in abundance and it is increasingly
difficult to make satisfactory clearances,
even at low prices. March 3 business im-
proved, but it has fallen away again
this week. Boses have made a consider-
able decline. American Beauties are
not numerous, but there are few calls
for them, Hadley and Russell taking
their place and being preferred by the
majority of buyers. All roses are of
excellent quality. Whites continue to be
druggy. Short-stemmed flowers of all
colors now are down to $10 per thou-
sand. Carnations have not weakened
so much as roses. The general average
is $1.50 to $2.50 per hundred, with a
few strictly fancy varieties like Laddie,
Rosalia, Pink Sensation, etc., making $6
to $8. The warmer weather has sent
in a flood of violets, and sweet peas are
in tremendous supply. White flowers
with 18 to 20-inch stems make $2 per
hundred. There are numbers of short-
stemmed flowers which bring little more
than that per thousand.
Easter lilies are in reduced supply
and clean up better. Dutch bulbous
flowers are abundant. The poorest sell-
ers are pure white tulips and Dutch hya-
cinths. Some good freesias are still seen
and Spanish irises from one or two
growers have arrived to supplement the
Iris tingitana. These flowers have made
$2 to $4 per dozen. There is an abun-
dant supply of English primroses,
pansies, forget-me-nots, calendulas and
wallflowers. Of anemones the arrivals
are far in excess of the demand. Callas
are druggy; so are lily of the valley and
mignonette. Snapdragons are not yet
excessively plentiful, but yellow mar-
guerites are much more abundant. The
best grade flowers still make $3 to $4
per hundred. Gardenias are less abun-
dant and a little dearer, but there Js a
good supply of cattleyas, dendrobiums
and other orchids.
Various Notes.
The Ranson Conservatories, of Arling-
ton, are getting a splendid crop of sweet

year, with few burst calyxes. Peerless
Pink with them looks well, also Alice,
Matchless, White Wonder and Pink De-
light. The demand for cuttings of the
last-named variety is stronger than ever.
For Nancy the call is also heavy, but
with Patten & Co. it has so far not
proved specially profitable. This con-
cern does a heavy business in rooted cut-
tings, for* which it has a high reputation.
I am sorry to report that W. A. Riggs,
of Auburndale, is still on the sick list.
Mr. Riggs has had a hard winter with
rheumatism, which he is gradually shak-
ing oflf. His son makes an eflScient sales-
man in the market and is well liked. The
ramblers, genistas and other Easter
plants all look well. At present a fine
line of bulb stock in pans is being sold.
C. S. Andem, of Putnam, Conn., con-
tinues to receive splendid shipments of
irises. He also is strong on Roman anem-
ones and carnations.
The meeting of the Gardeners' and
Florists' Club, March 13, comes one
week earlier than usual. A large at-
tendance is looked for, to hoar the lec-
ture by Leonard Barron, of Garden City,
N. Y., entitled "Looking Backward and
Forward." There will be special dis-
}days of sweet peas and roses, and a dis-
cussion of the proposed ])rohibition of
imports of nursery stock.
J. K. Chandler & Son, of Tewksbury,
have been cutting Spanish irises for a
month now. They are the first local
growers to bring in this popular bulbous
flower. They also have anemones in
quantity and pick from 8,000 to 1.5,000
violets daily.
F. J. Dolansky, of Lynn, is sending
in some specially fine spikes of phalae-
nopsis, also Dendrobium Wardianum
and cattleyas, in addition to his regular
supplies of gardenias.
Paine Bros., of Randolph, are large
bulb specialists. They are receiving
heavy shipments of Silver Spur, Vic-

White Hawk is a beautiful, pure white
tulip, but it is hard to sell while white
roses are abundant and cheap.
The big spring show of the Massachu-
setts Horticultural Society, which opens
March 21, is being eagerly looked for-
ward to by local growers, and entries
are so numerous that the management
will be taxed to find space for every-
thing. The Farquhar & Co. display
promises to be a particularly notable
one. Thomas Eoland and all other big
growers will also contribute their best.
The show is being more largely adver-
tised than any of its predecessors. Vis-
itors are promised a "glimpse of para-

The Sutermeister Estate, of Read-

which proves useful in hauling the heavy
shipments of bulbous stock in pans to
the stores. They have a varied and ex-
tensive lot of bulbs in pans, more than
any other local growers.
Patrick Welch is showing some blooms

disposed of at 20 cents per hundred and
were cheaper still in thousand lots. At
these prices the glut was cleaned up
nicely. Sweet peas, too, were in large
supply. Extra fancy Spencer varieties
cleaned up daily, but the common va-
rieties dragged and only exceedingly
low prices moved them. Eoses sold well,
but the supply was limited. Beauties,
Russells and Ophelias had a good call,
but these were off crop. Carnations
were in splendid crop and choice stock
sold at $3 per hundred. The demand
was mostly for the Enchantress varie-
ties, but all light shades sold well.
There were plenty of Easter lilies,
callas, freesias, tulips and Dutch hya-
cinths. Valley was scarce. Paper

The local rose growers say the present
shortage of roses should make the supply
large for Easter sales.
Various Notes.
Fred W. Ude, Jr., of Kirkwood, Mo.,
returned recently from Vero, Fla.,
where he spent the greater part of the
winter on his farm. He says the big
frost this winter killed nearly every-
thing on his place.
The officers of the St. Louis Florists'
Club held a meeting March 2 at the
home of President Bourdet and decided
to hold the club's monthly meeting
March 8 at the Missouri Botanical Gar-
den.
Thomas C. Carr, the Union Market
florist, has a big force of men at work
preparing his stands for the spring
plant trade. The cut flower department
reports an increased business as com-
pared with last year. This department
is in charge of Miss Marie Eichardson,
an exceptionally good artist in design
work.
The pretty floral palace of Fred
Foster, at 703 Oiive street, had an ex-
ceptionally busy week. The tasteful
window displays attracted many buyers.
Mr. Foster disposed of thousands of
bunches of violets last week.
Miss Loomis, of the Davis Floral Co.,
Pine Bluff, Ark,, was a visitor to the
St. Louis market last week. She says
trade has been excellent all winter.
The portraits of J. F. Ammann and
Fred H. Weber in last week's issue of
The Eeview were highly pleasing to the
trade here and were commended by all
who saw them.
The home of Edward Eodgers, on
Marmaduke avenue, was burned March
2. Mr. Eodgers, who is with the Young
Tool Co., of Casey, 111., and his wife
and two children suffered exposure to
the cold until taken in by neighbors.
The property was a total loss.
The executive committee of the spring
flower show, headed by Chairman
Bourdet, attended the meeting of the
County Growers' Association at the
Eleven Mile House, March 7, in the in-
terest of the show.
A. J. Butterfield, of Farmington, Mo.,
was a recent visitor in the wholesale
district. Mr. Butterfield is consigning
a fine cut of Enchantress, Beacon and
Eose-pink Enchantress carnations to
the St. Louis market. Dan Cupid has

A. M. HOSP, leading florist
neral work and there was a good demand
for flowers for social purposes, notwith-
standing that it is Lent. Flowers for
the sick formed a large part of the
week's trade.
The weather last week was all that
could be desired, as there were days of
sunshine, which had a noticeably fine
effect on all kinds of stock, not only in
improving the quality but also in in-
creasing the quantity. Koses, especially,
are in abundant supply and of fine qual-
ity. There are some Mrs. Charles Russell
roses on the market that are nearly per-
fect, and these take the place of Ameri-
can Beauties. Shawyer, Hoosier Beauty,
Ophelia, Sunburst, Ward and Richmond
are of splendid quality. Prices for roses
are holding up well. Carnations are in
good supply and move well. Easter lilies
and callas are more plentiful, but are
cleaned up daily in funeral work. Fancy
stock in sweet peas is selling well. Home-

grown single violets are of exceptionally
fine quality and sell on sight. Valley is
scarce, with the prices high. There is
not a large demand for it. Schroe-
derse cattleyas are in the market at pres-
ent, but the supply is not large and they
are quickly cleaned up. Bicolor jonquils
made their appearance here last week.
Paper White narcissi are over for the
si ason. Calendulas are seen in many of
the windows.
Various Notes.
Will J. Vesey, Jr., is spending several
days at Cincinnati, where he went in the
interests of the firm. The men at the
range are cutting heavily of Easter lilies
and carnations. The orchids are off
crop at present.
A number of the retailers had their
forces working all day Sunday, March
4, on account of unusually heavy
funeral work. The Flick Floral Co. sent
out two casket blankets. The store
force worked until 5 o'clock Sunday.

Edgar Wenninghoff had a handsome
■window display of Hoosier Beautjuroses
and Easter lilies last week. He is re-
ceiving fine carnations from the New
Haven Floral Co.
The high cost of living is not notice-
ably affecting the flower business in this
locality. Luckily, the public's attention
is given to the high cost of edibles and
those persons affected by the higher
prices are not in the flower-buying class.

Henry Spielman, of Spielman Bros.,
Adrian, Mich., died February 22, at the
age of 47.
The Hollanders still are booking orders
wherever they may, but with no assur-
ance of being able to ship the goods.
The catalogues contain the usual lists
of flower seeds just as though the usual
imports from Germany had come across.
The price of table potatoes and of
onions has fallen sharply within the week,
but seed potatoes have not weakened in
price.
J. C. Leonard, of the Leonard Seed
Co., Chicago, is paying a visit to the com-
pany's warehouses at Columbus and
Marshall, Wis.
There is a general belief that several
millions of Dutch gladiolus bulbs will ar-
rive late in the season. But they should
be readily salable until at least July 1.
We hear of German flower seeds on
personally conducted excursions, but the
total must be small in comparison to the
quantities that came over when the reg-
ular ways were open.
The Georgia Seed & Grocery Co., For-
syth, Ga., will hereafter do business as
the Ehodes Seed Co. W. K. Khodcs, the
proprietor, is moving to a new corner lo-
cation and plans a complete seed stock.
What process of reasoning leads to the
use of full-page mail order seed ads in
the largest metropolitan Sunday papers?
Some of those published March 4, by D.
M. Ferry & Co., Detroit, cost as much as
$1,000 each.
The lily bulb business at the moment
does not appear to afford possibilities for
profit commensurate with higher costs of
doing business and the risks involved.
There are so many sellers after the orders
that the large buyers are not certain
where the price inducements will stop, or
which ones safely may be closed with.
Because of the embargoes on freight
and the delays on shipments in transit,
the Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, is advising
customers to order stock shipped by ex-
press, the difference in rate, figured by
the pound, being for most points only
% cent to 1 cent more than by freight.
To aid customers in meeting the extra ex-
pense, the company is charging 25 cents
less per bushel on onion sets where these
are ordered by express.
The months of January and February
usually determine the size of the maU or-
der season, as nearly all seedsmen have as
much in March as the staff is able to han-
dle and increases in the height of the rush
are difficult. January did not show even
results, for the reason that many cata-
logues were late, but February has been
unusually good with all the mail order
seedsmen. The high prices of vegetables
are causing a great increase in the num-
ber of garden makers.

preme court on the liability of a retail
seedsman for failure of seed sold to
grow.
The defendant, doing business as Tot-
ten 's Vermilion Seed House, sold the
plaintiff a quantity of Early Murdock
seed corn, which the plaintiff planted
without making any test of it. Claim-
ing that only a small percentage of the
seed germinated and that the seller had
warranted its growing qualities, the
plaintiff brought suit for damages. The
seed house's counsel sought to secure
dismissal of the suit on the ground that
the facts alleged by the plaintiff were
insuflScient to show any valid claim. The
trial court overruled this demurrer, but
the Supreme court, on appeal, reversed
the judgment, deciding the point in the
seedsman's favor.

money. • » » You should carefully test your
seed. ♦ • * If seeds are not as represented
and do not test out satisfactorily to you, we

Referring to the particular variety of
corn, the catalogue stated:
All ears are well matured, kernels germinate
quickly, and send up good, strong plants riglit
from the start. • ♦ • It is good, and I know
you will like it.
The plaintiff based his right to re-
cover damages on the theory that, the
corn having been sold for seed, there
was an implied warranty that it was
suitable for the purpose for which it was
sold, and would grow when planted. He
further claimed that the reference to
tests in the catalogue was merely sug-
gestive to the customer, and not a con-
dition attached to the seedsman's war-
ranty. Isolated parts of the catalogue
were quoted to sustain this latter posi-
tion, but the Supreme court said:
Guaranteed "Test," Not Growth.
"Whether this language, if unquali-
fied by other portions of the contract,
would bear the construction placed upon
it by the plaintiff it is unnecessary to
determine. The entire contract must be
read together, and when so read, it does
not support the plaintiff's contention.
While the language of the warranty is
broad, so far as the general quality of
the corn is concerned, it is limited in re-
spect to the rights of the plaintiff and
the liability the defendant is willing
to assume. The defendant 'guarantees'
that the corn will test satisfactorily, not
that it will grow if planted in the field.
It is well understood that by testing corn
is meant the planting of a small quan-
tity of it in a hotbed or other place
where it ia protected from outdoor
weather conditions. It is merely a test
of the germinating powers of the seed
under favorable conditions, and it may
well be that a vender of seed corn would
be willing to refund the purchase money
in case it would not test satisfactorily
when he would not be willing to war-
rant, either expressly or impliedly, that
it would grow when planted in the field
and become liable for the value of a
field of corn in case the seed should not
grow. By expressly warranting the corn
to test satisfactorily, he limited his war-
ranty to the results of a test, and by
agreeing to refund the purchase money
in case a test did not show satisfactory
results, he limited his liability to the
amount of the purchase money.
Express and Implied Warranties.
"It is a well-settled principle of law
as applied to sales that an implied war-
ranty arises only when there is no ex-
press warrnnty. and thnt an f>xnress war-
ranty always excludes an implied war-
ranty.
"Under the terms of the contract,
• • • the plaintiff had it in his
power to protect himself from any loss
whatever. except the trifling expense of
testing the corn. • • • Had he
availed himself of his rights under the
terms of the contract, and as the defend-
ant urged him to do, by testing the corn
within ten days after he purchased it,
he would have ascertained that it was
not fit for seed and would not only have
been able to return it and have had his
purchase money returned to him, but
also could have procured other seed be-
fore planting time. Having failed to
make the test, as provided for in the
contract, and having planted the same
without testing it, he assumed the risk

POSSIBILITIES IN SEED FLAX.
The production of flaxseed in the
United States since 1909 has been less
than the demand, and in Bulletin
No. 785 of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture, "Seed Flax Production,"
it is shown that under certain conditions
it may be profitable to pay more atten-
tion to this crop.
In this country the production of flax-
seed has always been a pidneer industry
because the crop does wel^l on new land,
is readily marketable and' brings a high
price in proportion to its bulk. At the
present time it is grown most exten-
sively in Minnesota, the Dakotas and
Montana. But it can be grown under a
wide variety of conditions, and there is
no reason why more flax should not be
raised on old land in the upper' Missis-
sippi valley. The bulletin warns pros-
pective growers, however, that east of
Minneapolis and Duluth there are few

MOTT-LY GLEANINGS.
Willis S. Pino, of Providence, R. I.,
inaugurates the seed season with dou-
bled store capacity, new fixtures, new
stocks and bright prospects.
Halliday Bros., of East Providence,
R. I., fortunate in securing seed pota-
toes, are supplying their trade pro rata.
It is noted that seeds sold in packets
are as liberally filled as usual.
W. E. Barrett & Co., Providence, E, I.,
have taken over the business of the
Providence Seed Co., the building occu-
pied by it being razed to make way
for a skyscraper. W. A. Brown, for
many years manager of the extinct
house, now is head of the supply depart-
ment of W. E. Barrett & Co.
Franklin & Crosby, Danielson, Conn.,

The Market.
Business has improved somewhat since
the last writing. Business during the
middle of last week was rather slow,
but the first and the last of the week
were good. The demand this week is
excellent. Roses and carnations are in
good supply. The sweet pea cut is
extremely heavy. Easter lilies have
shortened considerably; in fact, they
are scarce. A fair supply of callas and
rubrum lilies is available. Daffodils,
tulips and hyacinths are in fair sup-
ply. Other offerings include valley, or-
chids and snapdragons.
The supply of plumosus and Sprengeri,
while better than it was, still is inade-
quate. Smilax has become scarce.
Various Notes.
Mr. and Mrs. E. G. Gillett have re-
turned from their trip to Florida. Mr.
Gillett is enthusiastic about that state,
especially the territory around Palm
Beach and at C. J. Ohmer's place. Dur-
ing the recent cold spell in Florida Mr.
Ohmer'? place was untouched by the
frost.
C. E. Critchell has been having a good
demand for his boxwoods since the sup-
ply of asparagus shortened.
W. J. Vesey, of Fort Wayne, Ind.,
was in this city last week.

SNAPDRAGON
From every section of the country comes aa increased demand
for snapdragon for bedding out. It is by far the most popular
plant, and gives general satisfaction, being easy to grow and
affording blooms for show and cutting the entire season. Every
florist should have a good supply of plants, not only for custo-
mers but for planting on his own grounds. We have all of the
good ones and offer seed as follows :
Our £amous Silver Pink, $1.00 per pkt.;
3 for $2.50; 7 for $6.00. Seed o£ White,

The Market.
From all information now available,
it seems that the volume of business
done by the flower stores last month
fully equaled that of any previous Feb-
ruary, and had not a spell of stormy
weather reduced sales during the last
ten days, a new record would have been
made. The cold weather prevented a
threatened glut in cut stock and bulb-
ous offerings, so possibly it did more
good than harm. Seedsmen report satis-
factory results from their spring cata-
logues, and the nurserymen have been
busier than ever before. Unless some
public calamity interferes, the pros-
pects for a year of good business are
bright — brighter now than they were
when the new year started.
Various Notes.
The new greenhouse at Wilsonville is
nearly completed and has been partly
set to Cecile Brunner roses. It will be
operated by Fred and Leo Wiedemann,
under the title of Wiedemann Floral Co.
The house is 56x200. About twenty
acres of land will be devoted to the
growing of hardy stock. The Wiede-
mann boys claim that the soil is of ex-
cellent quality for growing roses and
for general greenhouse use. They are
both experienced growers and have the
best wishes of the trade for success in
their new undertaking.
Miss Lida Albright, who has been
with the store of Niklas & Son for sev-
eral years, will leave soon for New York
to visit her sister. The date of her re-
turn depends upon how well she likes
New York.
Joseph Huserick, the wire-worker,
planned to take a trip in February to
Idaho and Montana towns, but was un-
able to go on account of the illness of
his wife, who is in the hospital for an
operation.
E. H. White, the dahlia grower, an-
nounces that the Willamette Dahlia &
Floral <^o. has been succeeded by the
White Floral Gardens, with office and
show garden at Albena avenue and
Portland boulevard. This location is
near a public park and a mile nearer
the center of the city than the former
establishment. Associated with Mr.
White is E. A. Shephard. The partners
have built a small propagating house
and will grow many dahlias from cut-
tings, which Mr. White says are best
for large flowers and long stems. The
spring catalogue of the new concern lists
a large variety of dahlias, gladioli and
miscellaneous perennials.
The greenhouse of August Webber, at
Fifty-fourth avenue and One hundred
and second street, southeast, was dam-
aged by fire February 21. Sparks from
the heating plant started the trouble
and caused a damage estimated at $250.
There was no insurance. S. W. W.
SANTA BAEBAEA, CAL.
A flying visit to this beautiful place
found everyone busy and prospects good.
Eastern visitors are filling the principal
hotels and staying with friends in Mon-
tecito and other residence sections. Both
florists and nurserymen appear to be
thriving. While some stock is grown
locally,' the majority of it is shipped in
from Los ^ngeles and San Francisco,
the northern city being responsible for
most of the roses.
Arthur Gleave's store always looks
bright and attractive and he reports
business excellent; in fact, he says it is
difficult at times to keep up with it.
Early morning visitors were E. W. Mc-
Lellan and Miss McLellan, of Burlin-
game, who stopped off for a day, en
route to Los Angeles. Mr. McLellan
says the men are just beginning to cut
the best Russells they ever had, and
while he was in Mr. Gleave's store a
magnificent box of roses from the San
Francisco store was opened.
Verhelle Bros., of Kentia Nurseries,
continue to ship large quantities of fine
kentias. It is said that George Ver-
helle does not make so many trips to
Los Angeles since getting married about
three months ago.
Paul Starger seems to be shaking
down into place with E. T. Underbill,
who is opening up a new nursery at
Montecito, where they have big land-
scape contracts on.
E. D. Eowe also has a good deal of
work along this line and is a busy man.
Albert Beverley, as usual, greets all
visitors with a smile and makes their
stay an enjoyable one. He is the nov-
elty man of Santa Barbara and has al-

The Market.
Fashion show week led to a big de-
mand for all classes of greens and the
cheaper, more showy flowers. Several
of the larger stores used asparagus and
orange marigolds to good effect, while
daffodils and cornflowers were used by
others. Renters of palms and other
decorative stock were busy and, taken
altogether, this business added quite a
little to the total for the week. Out-
side of this, funeral work has been plen-
tiful and the better weather has led to
more transient business. In spite of
better weather conditions, good stock
still remains scarce, though daffodils are
better and more plentiful. Violets are
at 'their best now and arriving in im-
mense numbers. Orchids are practically
out of the market for some reason; it
is difiicult to account for the great
ficarcity.
Cecile Brunner roses are extremely
scarce. Roses are shorter than those of
a week ago. Field-grown carnations are
scarce, but the indoor-grown varieties
are a little more plentiful. Small spring
flowers come slowly this year. Some
fine poppy anemones were among this
week's offerings. Fruit blossoms con-
tinue to arrive, but soon will be over.
Plants are not selling quite so well, ex-
cept good ferns, which are in big de-
mand. All classes of greens are short-
ening in supply.

I found the new house full to overflow-

being sold out closely when other grow-

There is little cliango in the carnation

maintain a reasonable degrees of popu-

no signs of weakening. The supply of
valley is about equal to the demand, and

Acacia is particularly good this year
and "fruit blossoms arc all that can be
desired. Both have been used exten-

Ferns are still in light supply. Excel-
lent flowering plants are to bo seen, in-

Four larire designs for the Funston
funeral rushed the force at B. M.
Joseph's February 23. All were com-
pleted and delivered at the City hall by
midnight. On a telegraphic order re-
ceivctl at 4 o'clock, a set piece requir-
ing a specially constructed frame was
made, representing the seal of the state
of Kansas. It came out wonderfully
well under the jiersonal direction of
F. .T. Bertrand, flowers being obtainable
to reproduce the exact coloring of the
sunflower border and the complicated
center. For the San Francisco fire de-
partment a large urn was made of galax
leaves, valley and Easter lilies. For

western trade in the interests of the
W. W. Barnard Co., of Chicago. He
had visited southern California before
reaching San Francisco. He formerly
made this territory regularly every year
and has many friends here, but this is
his first visit in six years. Being a
great S. F. booster, he is assured a warm
welcome.
Frank Pelicano is bringing in some
fine flowering plants in basket sizes, his
cyclamens and primroses being particu-
larly fine.
T. Mosco says flowering plants are
having a splendid call at his store, espe-
cially tulips, hyacinths and azaleas.
K. T. Brown,' of Queens, N. Y., passed
through San Francisco a few days ago,
en route to Eureka, Cal.
Domoto Bros, are having great success
with flowering plants this season.
Every morning they put in a big display
at their rooms on Bush street, and by
night it is cleared out. Splendid speci-
mens of Azaleas Hinodegiri and Yodo-
gawa were' noted the other day. Easter
lilies, rhododendrons and magnolias fig-
ure prominently in the daily plant oCer-
ings. Mr. Domoto considers prospects
for Easter promising, conditions being
favorable for an ample stock of fine
qualitv.
Manager Shellgrain, of J. B. Boland's
store, says funeral work has been the
principal item of late, although counter
trade holds up fairly well.
Two students of the University of
California the other night paid the pen-
alty for their exuberant spirits, which
led them to remove a hanging fern from
in front of a store in Alameda. Plead-
ing guilty to the charge of malicious
mischief,' they were sentenced to pub-
licly restore the property to the origi-
nal' place. While amused spectators
looked on, the students carried the plant
back to the store.
A report from Yreka, Cal., says that
Anderson Bros., of Alpine, Mich., will
plant a large acreage for seed farming
in the vicinity of Granada. Peas, beans
and all kinds" of garden seeds, it is said,
will be grown for the market, and later
a large acreage will be devoted to alfalfa
seed.
The Woodside Nursery Co. has filed
articles of incorporation, with a capital
stock of $10,000. The incorporators are
S. Enonioto, J. J. Graves. W. C. Graves,
E. A. Fotheringhani and G. G. Biro.
S. H.-G
Wenatchee, Wash.— William E. Mills,
WilliaTu Peters and L. T. Milot have in-
corporated the Milot-Mills Co. The au-
thorized capital stock is $30,000.
San Rafael, Cal. — The California Dah-
lia Society, of which Newell F. Vander-
bilt, of this city, is secretary, has re-
cently issued its second bulletin. The
society is composed of amateur and pro-
fessional gardeners as well as members
of the trade. It was organized in San
Francisco last July and is making a vig-
orous growth.
Sawtelle, Cal. — Walter Armacost,
whose establishment here always is a
point of interest for trade visitors be-
cause of its 100,000 square feet of glass
devoted to roses and the large area in
asparagus, recently was visited by E. C.
Amling and H. N. Bruns, of Chicago,
who have been vacationing at Orange,
Cal. Mr. Armacost guided the party
into the mountains with a camping out-
fit one afternoon and cooked an open-
air dinner, one of the kind for which he
has more than a local reputation.

TOPPING HARDY PEEENNIALS.
Of the following, state which, if any,
should be topped in coniniorcial growing:
Aehilleas, aquilegias, coreopsis. Cam
jianula Medium, physostegias, stokesias
Also, give instructions for planting and
temperature for geums and statices. I
liave made a complete failure of both of
those. E. N. T.— 111.
None of the perennials named sliould
be topped, or you will get few flowers
from them; in fact, there are- few hardy
herbaceous perennials which ever need
topping.
Geums, such as coccineum and that
fine form Mrs. Bradshaw, and statices,
such as latifolia, can be started from
seeds now in an ordinary greenhouse.
They are comparatively easy of germina-
tion. You can also sow in a coldframe in
summer. By watering carefully and
giving some shade from bright sun you
will get a better and quicker germina-
tion. All the perennials named should
prove hardy in your latitude. C. W.
Beno, Nev. — W. J. Doering has taken
over the Stoddard greenhouses and will
operate them in connection with his
nurserv business.

Between the decrease of saloons and
the increase of munitions factories, the
daj laborer for nursery work is rapidly
becoming extinct.
C. A. Simpson is head of a nursery
business recently incorporated at Mon-
ticello, Fla., under the name of United
Nurseries Co. The authorized capital is
$12,000.
Many a nurseryman is on the anxious
seat over his spring imports. The Ger-
man U-boat blockade, if it has not de-
stroyed the chance of receiving the stock,
has made prompt arrival doubtful and
has raised the question of the probable
condition of the stock and its accept-
ance.
The salesmen for the Holland export-
ers_ of nursery stock at present in the
United States are having a hard time of
it. The spring shipments have been so
delayed and there is such great uncer-
tainty as to their coming forward that
the travelers are reluctant to meet their
customers.
UME-STJLPHTJR WASH.
A good lime-sulphur wash may be
made for immediate use by the follow-
ing formula:
stone lime 20 pounds
Snlpluir (flour or flowers) 15 pounds
Water to make 50 gallons
Heat in a cooking barrel or vessel
about one-third" of the total quantity of
water required. When the water is hot
add all the lime and at once add all the
sulphur, which previously should have
been made into a thick paste with water.
After the lime has slaked, about another
third of the water should be added, pref-
erably hot, and the cooking should be
continued for one hour, when the final
dilution may be made, using either hot
or cold water, as is most convenient.
The boiling due to the slaking of the
lime thoroughly mixes the ingredients
at the start, but subsequent stirring is
necessary if the wash is cooked bv
direct heat in kettles. If cooked by
steam, no stirring will be necessary.
After the wash has been prepared it
must be well strained as it is being run
into the spray tank. It may be cooked
in large kettles, or preferably by steam
in barrels or tanks. This wash should
be applied promptly after preparation,
since, as made by this formula, there is
crystallization of the sulphur and hard-
ening of the sediment upon cooling.

Go over your Rose Houses carefully and estimate the plants you need
for replanting this Spring, and place your order. Roses are going to be
scarce. The Manetti situation is such that those who get it are fortunate, and the
demand is far greater than the limited supply. We have sold over 100,0' 0 grafted
Roses in the last two weeks. We have 2CO.O0O more to sell. There is considerable
building contemplated. "Changing from Carnations to Roses" is a freauent expla-
nation made when placing an order. If .vou are short at planting time it will be
your fault and not ours. The growing of grafted Roses is an industry in itself. At

with the finest.
In their methods of hybridizing the
Brands spare no expense. They do not
save more than one in a thousand, and
even then, knowing the tricky nature of
the genus, they put them all on proba-
tion until they are eonfirmed and ready
to join the goodly company of the faith-
ful. One, Mary Brand T think it is
called, is the finest and largest light red
I ever saw.
Of course, originating new sorts is at-
tended with great expense and so the
Brands ask high ]irices for some of the
gilt-edged ones. But they have i)lenty
of ground and they use it, meanwhile
using but little manure. They also have
]denty of time an<l they take it, and
many plants of great jtromise must go on

The Market.
A retrospect of last week's business
is most encouraging. In si)ite of the
advance of food prices, as i)ublished in
last week's Review, and i.otwithstand
ing the higher cost of necessities, the
demand for flowers increases. Counter
trade has been good, and although the
Lenten season has slightly aflFcirted dec-
orative ami corsage work, the activity
in other lines has counterbalanced this.
Funeral work has been so heavy that in
many cases the florists have found it
necessary to work all night to fill orders.
The supply has increased in all lines,
except roses, which continue to be as
scarce as before, and of only mediocre
quality. Carnations of good quality are
ample enough to meet an active de-
mand. They bring from $2 to $4, the
whites ])redoniinating in po{)ularity.
Snapdragons of fair quality are be-
ginning to make a good showing,
esjiecially the yellow varieties. Vio-
lets are arii\ing in (juantities suflicient
enough for the f'air demand. Sweet peas
are good and plentiful, especially the
shorf-steniraed stock. Freesias and ca-
h'lidiilMS are satisfactory. Paper Whites

Bulbous stoek has been abundant and

THE WONDERFUL "EASTER GREETING"
Three years ago we placed Easter Greeting before the Florists. It met with wonderful sale. Last Easter it be-
came a factor in Easter business. It has proven one of the quickest and easiest sellers of any plant grown. No other plant
has the long season of bloom and therefore the long selling season. It sells when in bloom and that means from March 20
to October 1. Note spread of above plants in (>-inch pots. No florist can afford to be without it.

ROSES From 21-inch Pots
READY NOW
The assortment beh)W consists of stock of last summer's proi)agation.
These plants have all been rested and are practically dormant now. Our 2V2"
Rose plants are stronger and more stocky than the ordinary 2'/4" pot roses
generally oCfered. They arc in fine condition for shifting into 'AV^" and 4"
pots, and are splendid stock for growing on for Spring and Decoration Day
sales.

The Florists' Review
Mauch 8, 1917.
MILWAUKEE.
The Market.
The coiidition of the local market ha.s
sliowii quite a change during the last
week. The cliange was not for the bet-
t<M-, however. The demand lightened
materially and the general supply was
licavier than it ha<l been. This, of
roiirso, liad a tendency to result in an
()verali\indance of stock. There was not
an item on which there was any scarcity
last week, and i)rices, of course, imme-
diately began to decline. The supply of
roses was lai'gt", JU'd there were even
enough Kussells of the shorter grades to
supply the demand. The quality of the
stock is excellent and those who pur-
chased roses got more than their
money's worth in every instance. Car-
nations were more than plentiful, as well
as sweet i)eas and violets. Despite their
good quality, it was necessary to move
tliese classes of stock in large quantities
at special prices, in order to keep the
market cleaned up fairly well.
BuHjous stock last week was also plen-
tiful and sold readily. The demand for
plants of this kind, principally tulips,
hyacintlis and daffodils, has l)een excep-
tionally brisk, and large quantities of
these have been disposed of to good ad-
vantage. There is, of course, practically
no cliange in the valley situation. Sec-
onds are (deaning up (laily at $4, while
tlie few firsts that come in are bringing
$6. Lent probably is responsible, to
some extent, for the decrease in the de-
mand; but from all indications the Eas-
ter business will more tlian make uj) for
the tcmjiorary decline.
Club's Carnation Show.
Tiiursday, Marcii 1, the ^lilwaukee
Florists' Club staged a carnation ex-
hibition at its rooms. A large number
of exhibits were made and the attend-
ance was exceptionally good. There is
no doubt that the exhibition brought
tradesmen into closer harmony, antl it
is surely well worth repeating at an
early date.
Gullett & Sons, of Lincoln, 111., ex-
hibiteil a fine vase of Nebraska, which
is a most jiromising red. The J. D.
Tliomjison Carnation Co., of Joliet, III.,
siiowed its new carnation, yujjerb. This
carnation has a ])leasing color and siiould
find a ready market. Tiie Greenwood
Carnation Co., of Xortli .Milwaukee, had
flue blooms of Ciood Cheer and Nancy;
also a vase of mixed seedlings, some of
whi(di should make good sellers. Sylves-
ter & Son showed a vase of their sjden-
did Pink Sensation, and also some red
seedlings which ha<l exceptionally large
flowers. The C. C. I'ollworth Co.' exhib-
ited White Won<ler, Beacon and Mrs. C.
W. Ward. This concern also had some
light jiink roses, as well as variegated
sports of Miw. Ward.
The Schroeder Floral Co. showed good
blooms of Nancy and Akehurst. It also
had a few flowers of I'rincess Dagmar,
a good dark red, and a vase of Zweifel's
new seedling. Edna, which is a jiromising
red. Gustav i'ohl had a vase of assorted
carnations. A. Reinhardt exhibited well
grown White Enchantiess, Enchantiess
Supreme, White Wonder and Beacon
cai'iiations. The Mueller (Jreenhonse Co.
exhibited White Wonder and Beacon,
which were exceptionally fine stock. The
Heitman Oestreicher Co. dis])laved
White Wonder, Victory, Enchantress
;ind Trouliadour. The last-named is
about the shade of Winsor. .1. Living-

The early yellow that gets
the money.
Don't wait until Mum time and then wish
you had it, but place your order now.
Good stiff stem, fine foliage, large yellow
incurved flowers. Just the flower that is
wanted, and without a competitor when
it is on the market. Buy it now before
balance of stock is sold, as we have booked
a great many orders already from those
that know.

Various Notes.
The Sidiroeder Floral Co., Twenty-
fourth street and I'ease avenue, suffered
a loss from a fire at the f^reenliouses
March 4. The fire started in the boiler
room and destroyed nu)st of it, as well
as the end of one house, ("onsideriiifj
the possibilities and the extremely cold
weather at the time, the damajje done
was small compared with what it might
have been. William Ti. Schroeder, the
))resident, soon had the buiiied section
under cover, and the damage to sto(dv
]ilants will probably be light. The loss
was covered by insurance. This con-
cern lost quite a few lights of glass last
summer when a hail storm swejit this
Aiciuity. *
,1. Ij. Schiller, who has been ill at the
hosj)ital for some time with intestinal
trouble, submitted to another ojieration
March .'i. This makes the fourth opera-
tion Mr. Scliiller has undergone since
he was taken ill this last time. While
the operation is naturally of a S(>rious
nature, it is hoped tliat it will lie in-
strumental in bringing about a comjdete
recovery. IT. J. S.
CROMWELL, CONN.
A. X. I'ierson, Inc., made the first
shijiment of young rose stock February
19. Among the labor-saving machinery
installed last summer was a steam
shovel, which is used for turning ajid
loading compost during the sumnu>r, and
loading coal trucks during the winter.
It does the work of thirty men.

HYACINTHS, DArrODILS, TULIPS, 3^ in. pots,
$6.30 per 100, 1 o. b. Chicago
The root development is complete and shoots started — just brought in from
field beds. Hyacinths run one to a pot. Daffodils and Tulips will average three
flowers to the pot. These are shipped in 100 lots in paper pots, and are ready for
forcing in time for Easter.
JUST AS CHEAP AS THE BULBS - ONLY SELECTED STOCK
Order your shipment immediately, as the plants are immune from frost when
shipped in this semi-developed state. Retail florists who have no greenhouses can
force these Hyacinths, Daffodils and Tulips in their store windows. Your customers
will take advantage of this new ottering to prolong the season in their homes. To
be successful in this plan, order your supply at once.

The Market.
Last week fouml the market well
stocked and business a bit slow. Car-
nations are in a glut, eoming in much
faster tlian they ean I)e sold. Not niutdi
can be said for the quality of carnations
in this vicinity. Sweet peas arrive in
great quantities, the best coming from
Saginaw. The local growers apparently
have the quantity but not the quality.
("lioice snajKlragons come in each day
and (ind a ready sale. Roses are of
splendid quality. There are j)lenty of
spring flowers, which retail easily.
Various Notes.
The Detroit Floiists ' Bowling Club
lost one game to the Cleveland bowlers,
at Clevelan(^, last week. This defeat
gave the Cleveland Florists' Bowling
Club possession of the cup, the Cleve-
l.'iiid team winning four out of seven
ganu's.

Last we(>k saw a greater influx of
bulbous stock, especially of hyacinths,
wlii(di heretofore have not been too ])len-
tiful. '"arnations now are jjientiful and
of good quality. Sweet ]ieas are suf-
ficient for tiie demand and of good qual-
ity. The Spencers, of course, are the
most popular. Violets are of good qual
ity and ro'^es have improved greatly.
The jirices of most flowers keej) up well.
The \ olume of business is good, but not
lushing. Growers are looking for a good
si)ring trade.

fireenhonse Heating.
SuBSORiBEES 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 tlie best in the special
field of its adaptation.
COAL SITUATION EASING.
Coal dealers state that the break in
the recent cold spell has resulted in a
much smaller demand being made for
fuel, altliough prices had not decreased
to any large extent. According to one
well known wholesale dealer, the profits
that the independents have been reaping
since last fall soon will diminish mate-
rially. In another two weeks there will
be marked change in the situation, he
predicted. As a result of the compara-
tively mild weather, more standard coal
is being received and less of the inde-
pendent fuel is being purchased. Pre-
miums soon will be a thing of the past,
is the general belief.
WANT BOILER LAW CHANGED.
The newly organized Columbus Flo-
rists' Association, of which Alfred C.
Hottes is president, has sent the mem-
bers of the Ohio legislature a letter in
which it is stated the trade wishes "to
bring to your attention the great hard-
ship inllieted upon the greenhouse own-
ers by Section 1058-1, a law which makes
it necessary to maintain a licensed boiler
operator for steam boilers of thirty
horsepower or over.
"We, therefore, take the liberty of
bringing to your notice some of the dif-
ficulties encountered in complying with
the law.
"First: We feel it absolutely necessary that
a fireman should be an experienced grower. We
could recount many cases in which great losses
have l)een incurred by employing expert boiler
operators, but men ignorant of the importance
of TentilatioD, plant humidity, the correct tem-
peratures and the other dlfflculties encountered
In growing a great variety of plants in the mod-
ern commercial greenhouse.
"Second: A great many of the establishments
are not large enough to afTord the expense of hir-
ing additional licensed boiler operators. The
enforcement of the present law may necessitate
the closing of some of these smaller ranges.
"Third: Many growers operate their own boil-
ers during the day. The present law makes it
impossible for a man to do this now, even in
cases of extreme emergency.
"Fourth: Many of the florists are also Tege-
table growers; additional boiler service would
necessitate increased prices, which would be
added to the cost of food. Prices are sure to
be raised if high-priced operators are necessary.
"Fifth: Oreenbouses need a fireman only six

"Sixth: Greenhouses are located away from
districts of dense population. There is little
danger to human life by explosions.
"The florists arid vegetable growers
feel that it was not the intention of the
present law to include greenhouse own-
ers. We would urge that the following
paragraph be added to Section 1058-1:
" 'Providing, however, that nothing
herein shall apply to bona fide owners of

I ;i had a cast iron 8-section boiler before,

The Kroeschell Boiler is certainly a
fuel-saver. My coal bill to beat 6000 sq.

less than last winter's coal bill, when 1
had only 2050 sq. ft. of glass, heated with

quality, we "would consider it cheaper
than the hard coal at the prices men-
tioned^ but if the smokeless grade is
largely coi^posed of screenings, better
results will undoubtedly be secured from
the same money expended in hard coal.
The extra labor of firing with the fine
coal should also be considered.
STEAM FOR SMALL HOUSE.
I intend to build a small house, 21x50,
and should like to know whether a 2%-
inch flow pipe will be large enough to
feed all the returns and keep the house
at a temperature of 68 degrees when the
outside temperature is 20 degrees below
zero. The house will be exposed on all
sides. It will be of even-span construc-
tion. There will be forty-eight inches
of glass in the sides. The height will
be seven feet to the eaves and thirteen
and one-half feet to the ridge. The
house will be heated by steam and will
be about fifty feet from the boiler.
J. A. W.— 111.
To heat the house in question, a 2^2-
inch flow pipe will be of ample size. In
addition, there should be a coil of thir-
teen 1%-inch pipes upon each wall.
These should start at the middle of the
end of the house farthest from the boiler
and run each way to the corners of the
house and then on the side walls back
to the boiler, with which each coil should
be connected by means of a 1%-inch
pipe.
The 2%-inch flow should be carried
overhead to the farther end of the house,
about three feet below the ridge. If
bottom heat is desired under the middle
bench, a part of the returns may be
placed there, but a sufficient number
should be used to provide 336 square
feet of radiation in the returns.

they tasted as good as do onion bulbs,

The Market.
Stock of all kinds is becoming ex-
tremely abundant, but this was more or
less expected. Spring flowers are more
than plentiful. Koses, although arriv-
ing in larger shipments, still hold to
their jirices. American Beauties, as
usual, cling to the scarce side. Some
extra fine Russells may be had. Or-
chids, valley and violets continue to sell
well. Funeral work and several large
dinners have consumed a great jiart of
the increased supply.
Various Notes.

floor of the building in which S. A.

checked the fire before it had made
much headway. Water leaking through
the floors caused some damage to the
store, but mostly in the oflSce.

The Market.
Although it is Lent, business is as
brisk aa. ever, thanks to a large quan-
tity of funeral work. The retailers re-
port that their business so far has been
up to tKe average. Cut flowers of all
kinds are offered from department store
counters. Eoses are in much ^larger sup-
ply this week, but move well. The prices
have declined. Carnations and lilies are
in heavy supply, but a large per cent of
them . are used in funeral work. The
Lenten season seems to have little effect
on the sale of cut flowers and blooming
plants.
Various Notes.
The trade regrets to hear of the death,
February 27, of August Luther, detailed
notice of which is given in this week's
obituary.
Fred Fromholdt's car was in a smash -
up last week. The damages amounted to
about $125; no one was hurt severely.
The Alpha Floral Co. lost one of its
new cars by theft last week. This con-
cern reports the largest February busi-
ness in its existence.
Edward Ellsworth has already suc-
cumbed to the spring fever — he went
fishing last week.
The wholesale houses report plenty of
stock of all kinds on hand, with prices
lower.
John Stevens is cutting an exception-
ally large crop of carnations.
W. J. Barnes has his greenhouses
filled with bedding stock and plants for
Easter.
T. J. Noll & Co. are featuring a fine
lot of Easter baskets for the trade.
Adolph Mohr is now sending in good
cinerarias in 5 and 6-inch pots.
Business across the state line is ex-
ceptionally good, especially in funeral
work.
Edgar Bungar has his place in good
shape for the spring bedding business.
His vincas and dracaenas are alwavs
good. W. J. B."
When August Luther's will was pro-
bated last week, it was found that re-
sentment had smoldered in the old jjen-
tleman 's breast for many years. The
resentment was directed against the
daughter-in-law, whom the decedent
blamed for taking his son away from
him. The will cuts off the son with a
smaller sum and provides carefully
against the daughter-in-law ever inher-
iting any of the $75,000 estate. The son
believes his father repented of the will's
provision on his deathbed. It is said that
Mr. and Mrs. Luther will try to break
the will.
Woodsfleld, O. — A severe loss at the
De Witt greenhouses was narrowly
averted last month because of the coal
shortage. At the time, Mr. De Witt was
unable to procure coal, and it was only
because he cut up fence posts and gath-
ered old lumber that he was able to
keep the temperature above the danger
point.

EXPENSE VS. JOY
In workiog out our patented square paper pot and dirt band we
considered a number of good points, but never reckoned with this fea-
ture. A customer writes that the assembling of our locking manila
board pot affords his family as much amusement as a game of flinch.
After supper the children gather around the table and make sport of
setting up our pots and bands. The finished pots are tossed into the
clothes basket, and so speedily is the work done that there is con-
stantly a pot in the air. A race can easily be had, as our bands and
pots are machine-counted into bundles of 250 each.
Contrast this method of assembling with the slow and tedious task
of forming paper strips into "pots," then count the difference in the
cost of setting up our manila board locking pots and bands by the chil-
dren and the nailing up or folding of strips of paper into pots and
bands by the men. One is labor, the other amusement. One is ex-
pense, the other joy. To make sure.
Buy the Rimsburg Locking Pot, made of Nanili Boird
But if you want paper strips we can furnish them. Write us your needs. We have in stock plain manila paper bands in sizes
2, 2^2 and 3-inch, which are machine-scored for easy folding. The scoring gives a square, perfect band, and saves much time in
folding, while the cost is less than plain strips are sold for.
TESTIMONIALS— While it is no longer considered good taste to flourish testimonials, we wish to verify a few statements
by giving extracts from letters reaching us with orders every day : "Have used — plain bands, but want something easier to
fold." "Have used other bands and pots, but want something better." "Have used , but no more strips for me." "Your
locking pots and bands are the finest we have seen," etc. The introduction of the paper strip as a dirt band has opened the way
for something better, and we have it. Send a postal for samples and prices. Both our bands and pots are made of manila board. Put all of your
spring plants into them and double your profits. The square pot ___ ^ —•■--«-«..-«--, ^.m...-.-.«.....^._— .. . m.. •■

consequently is a plethora of all kinds

Th§ ^^Dandy'' Transplanting Carrying Pot.
Patent Pending:
Made from 30-guage galvanized steel, a practical and eflacient tool for transplanting any kind of plants
along with the same soil in which thef were grown. It does away with planting in any kind of pots or bands and
is used repeatedly, and year after year, as these bands are practically indestructible if cleaned and put away after
using.
They speak for themselves to any grower and will soon become a necessary tool for every greenhouse.
For transplanting such plants as melons, cucumbers, tomatoes, cabbage and other vegetables, they are
absolutely reliable and inexpensive. With a few of these Pots a grower can set out thousands of plants in a sea-
son, year after year.
The band is simply put around the plant, the seam hooks clasped together and then pressed into the soil around the plant. This is easy.
as the thin steel does not require much pressure to be inserted into the ground. Then with a slight turn or shake the soil and roots are broken loose
from the bed and the plant and soil carried to the field and deposited from the Pot into the excavation made ready to receive them. As plants trans-
h V way are not root crampedor choked in a hard lump like other pot- grown plants, the weather being favorable, they will grow on without a

The Florists* Review

OMAHA, NEB.
" The Market.
Despite the fact that it is Lent, there
has been no noticeable decrease in the
demand for flowers and plants. Fu-
neral work has been. heavy and the au-
tomobile show last week proved a big
factor in keeping the market well
cleaned up.
Never in the history of the oldest flo-
rists has the cold weather continued as
long as it has this winter, but from a
growing and productive standpoint it
has beea. one of the best ever seen.
While tra increase in the cost of fuel
has been hard to bear, business has been'
so good that it has offset the extra ex-
pense to a certain extent. Without a
doubt everybody will have a good profit
that will keep the wolf away from the
door for some time to come.
Various Notes.
C. E. Baldwin, of the Fernery, is in
Chicago this week on business.
Lewis Henderson had the decorations
for the automobile show held at the
Auditorium last week.
Miss Eeba McNamara is having a
good run of corsage work for theater
goers.
The Herman Bros. Co., of Council
Bluffs, is consigning excellent sweet
peas to the Parker Flower Shop.
Lee Larmon, the Fontenelle hotel flo-
rist, had an appropriate window for auto
show week.
Robert Newcomb, of the Ameri' an
Bulb Co., was among recent visitors.
The Florists' Club members got to-
gether over in the Bluffs March 2 and
bowled three exciting games with the
Bluffs boys. The losers, Omaha, put up
a hard fight, but nevertheless wont
down to defeat for three games straight.
Mr. Foster, with the losing side, was
high man with a total of 519.

Retail business has been good lately
and has only decreased a little under the
influence of Lent. Bulbous stock is
plentiful and sells well. Cyclamens are
still on the market and a few prefer
them to other plants. Plenty of azaloas
are being sold. Roses and violets retain
their popularity.
H. F. A, Lange reports business ex-
cellent. Mr. Lange had the decorations
for a large banquet last week. It was
carried out in spring flowers.
Harry I. Randall reports business good
and looks for a record-breaking Easter
trade. Mr. Randall will remove to 18
Pearl street about April 1.
The Worcester County Horticultural
Society held its annual spring flower
show March 7 and 8. The society was
without the services of Albert H. Lange,
who usually had charge of the arrange-
ments. Mr. Lange was on the March
jury at Fitchburg and could not bo
present. H. L.

GREENHOUSES THAT SATISFY
When you invest in a new greenhouse, you want the house that will pay you
best. You want to consider the durability, the convenience, the efficiency and
the cost of the house. Not one of these points is overlooked in our construction.
Twenty-five years' experience in greenhouse construction enables us to give the best in service, material
and workmanship; and the purchaser of Ickes-Braun construction can invest without a doubt as to
the efficiency of his house.

The Market.
Business has been unusually heavy.
There has been much stock to work with,
but it has been easily disposed of; in
fact, some days it has been hard to pick
up enough to go the rounds. Eoses are
still in short crop, with the demand
heavy. Ophelia roses are not so plenti-
ful as they should be, and those that ar-
rive are picked up early. White Killar-
ney and Killarney are more conspicuous,
but when there are enough Ophelias
Killarneys go begging. A number of
Richmond, Russell and Rhea Reid roses
are seen, but the cuts of these are small.
Beauties are scarce and hard to get at
any price. Carnations are quite plenti-
ful, but it seems that none are left over.
Bulbous stock is abundant, with indi-
cations of a good supply at Easter. This
stock in pots sells well. Azaleas are not
good; they were all badly damaged in
transportation. There will be quite a
scarcity of them at Easter. Many sv/eet
peas are moved. Violets are in heavy
demand and at times it is hard to get
enough to go around, both singles and
doubles. Cut freesias are popular and
many are disposed of in corsage work.
Valley continues scarce, with the prices
high. Lilies are more in evidence, es-
pecially the ones in pots.
Various Notes.
Charles Roth says he is well satisfied
with trade at the greenhouses.
The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. is pleased
with its new location. It is still doing
business at the old quarters, where the
force has been busy with decorations
and corsage work.
Underwood Bros, report good business
in all lines.
The Franklin Park Floral Co. has been
doing well, but predicts that stock will
be scarce at Easter in many lines of
stock.
Stephens & Son have been stepping
lively at all times. They report stock
scarce.
The Livingston Seed Co. is doing a
lively business in its seed department.
The buyer has had a hard time procur-
ing enough stock for the cut flower de-
partment. J. M.

achieved with his first Metropolitan green-

After a whole year of experience witb

Can you tell us of something to destroy

Mix a little powdered cyanide of po-
tassium and sugar together and put it
on small pieces of paper on flats where
the ants trouble you. They will eat
this greedily and will soon die. Use
care in breaking up the cyanide crystals
and in handling it, as it is a most deadly
poison. Do not place it where it will
be within the reach of children. Sprin-
kling the surface soil with Vermine will
drive away the ants, but it is not ad-
visable to use this where small seeds
are germinating. C. W.

ROCHELLE PAPER POTS AND BANDS
Our Square Paper Pots are the Original Im-
proved DOUBLE Bottom Square Paper Pot» that
we have sold for FIVE YEARS.
They are by far the BEST POT on the market
today.
They are made with one tack. No glue.
By ACTUAL TEST they can be made up MORE)
THAN TWICE AS PAST as a stamped out pot
can be folded, assembled and "locked."
They are made of the same new, tough paper
that has made our Square Paper Pots and Square
Dirt Bands FAMOUS, after FIVE YEARS' TEST
by the U. S. Government, the Canadian Govern-
ment, International Expositions, large numbers
•f State Agricultural Experiment Stations, City
Parks, Public Institutions and many thousands
of Superintendents, Florists and Truckers in all
parts of the country and Canada.
"Enclosed please And a postofflee money order,
for which please send us 10,000 3-ln. Square Pa-
per Pots by freight to Yantlc, Conn." Avery
Bros., Norwich Town, Conn.
(Avery Bros, got 5000 of our 3-ln. Pots in 1913,
6000 In 1914, 7000 in 1915, 10,000 In 1916 and
10,000 this year. They know the merits of our
Pots.)
"Kindly send us by express 20,000 Paper Pots,
•Ize 3-ln., for which I Inclose check." George
Foulsham, Supt., Lenox, Mass.
(Mr. Foulsham orders our Paper Pots regularly
every year and says "We grow sweet peas and
all onr annuals in them.")
"Send by freight 6000 3-in. Square Paper Pots,
8000 4-in. Square Paper Pots." G. B. Hunt,

and knows they are the best there are.)

OSEASEB DIRT BANDS
1— Should a Dirt Band be CREASED and the
ENDS held together until it is set In place? Yes.
OUR DIRT BANDS ARE CREASED and the
ENDS HELD TOGETHER.
NOT "LOOKED"
2 — Should the ends of Dirt Bands be
"LOCKED?" NO. Because "locking" does not
serve any purpose and is a serious detriment.
If the ends are "LOCKED" the band has to be
TORN OFF when the plant is taken out.
After the bands are filled and watered the soil
settles tight against the Insldes and they cannot
be unlocked.
TEARING the ends of the bands apart will
break many of the "balls" or cubes of soil.
Get a "locked" band, lock it and try tearing
It apart.
Ours are made to SLIP APART easily, without
tearing, to let the plant out.
Our bands are made of the same special, tough
paper that has been PROVED 5 YEARS to be
perfect for the purpose.
They are the BEST Band on the market, but
also the CHEAPEST.
Mr. H. B. Weaver of Bird-In-Hand, Pa., grows
Carnations, Mignonettes, Sweet Peas and other
cut flowers. He says of our Dirt Bands: "I
believe any one using these bands will become a
regular customer."
(He got 6000 Dirt Bands in 1913, 60,000 in 1014,
70,000 in 1915, 60.000 in 1916 and has Just or-
dered 60,000 for 1917.)
Mr. J. M. Gager, WilUmantlc, (>>nn., says:
"The crop from the plants raised in your Dirt
Bands PAID ME THE BEST of any crop of to-
matoes grown SINCE I HAVE BEEN IN THE
BUSINESS."
(Mr. Gager has just ordered 10,000 4-in. bands
for this year.)
Mr. Herbert W. Coulter, Avon, Mass., says:
"I am so well pleased with the Dirt Bands that
I DO NOT SEE HOW A MARKET GARDENER
CAN AFFORD TO GROW PLANTS WITHOUT
THEM."
To show the wide use of our Pots and
Bands by Government, State, City and Public
Institutions we might say that while we ar»
writing this advertisement (Feb. 17th) one mall,
Just opened, brought us orders from South Da-
kota Agricultural Experiment Station, Brookinga,
S. D. (They got 10,000 of our Paper PoU last
year and expect to use 20,000 this year) and
Board of Regents of Normal Schools, Whitewater,
Wis., and Inquiries for prices from New York
State College of Agriculture at Cornell Univer-
slty and. Dniversity of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
We have probably sold 5 times as many of our
Square Paper Pots and Dirt Bands as all other
firms put together.

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

This is Proof for You —
— proof that the AGMCO houses are lighter,
brighter, tighter than other houses.
Vou know the value of light in a greenhouse— you wouldn't spend your good money for glass if light wasn't
of prime importance. And you can't find a lighter greenhouse than this one anywhere in the world. Look-
it over— roof, ridge, purlins, interior posts, cross braces, side walls, every joint, bend, bolt, fitting is radi-
antly white— not a dead dull white, but a bright, dazzling white that intensifies every ray of light as a snow
bank on a sunlight day will do. This tiieans more stock — better stock— and more money for the grower.

- and tighter? Prove it for yourself. Write to Carl Erickion, of Princeton, HI., the aggres-
sively progressive owner of this house. Just ask HIM if it's tight, light and bright- if it's
not the finest bit of greenhouse construction HE EVER saw (and you can make sure he's
seen a lot, used a lot and knows a lot of greenhouse constructions). You can see in this
picture what he thinks of the AGMCO bracing. He knows that it will do with lOO' , efficiency,
not only what it is put there to do, but that it will carry an excess load without in the least
decreasing its fitness. These are a few reasons why Carl Erickson finds this house "a thing
of beauty and a joy forever." He has the AGMCO habit. You'd better get it, too, and NOW.

Easter Stock, 1917
On time and in fine shape. Can ship any time, and it would be to your advantage,
if you have glass, to have stock shipped a week or two before Easter, as there is much
less danger of bruising the buds on blooming stock. Then too, it will make a much better
appearance developing after shipment.
State whether to be in or out of pots. Three, four, five and six-inch stock, grown
in pots, can be shipped in paper pots and save express. Azaleas, large Roses and
Hydrangeas must be left in pots.
Packing will be charged at cost.
TERMS
All orders from parties unknown to us must be accompanied by Money Order or
Draft (no personal checks). If you wire an order, wire the money also, as we refuse

^^Hamburg
Late White'^
CHRYSANTHEMUM
CERTIFICATE OF MERIT awarded by Chrysanthemum Society of America
Picture was takea December 10, 1916,
and will give a good idea of the symmet-
rical form of flowers of "Hamburg Late
White." These flowers were cut from
plants grown from single stems and
planted six inches each way.
"Hamburg Late White" is pure white
under all weather conditions and is a sport
of Maud Dean, white, but has no trace of
pink, as the original.
The average grower of Chrysanthemums
must have varieties which are easy to aandle,
and from which he can cut as near 100% of per-
fect blooms as possible. "Hamburg Late
White" has been grown for the last four years,
and produces a very high proportion of good
flowers. It is not an exhibition variety, but for
late white one of the best for commercial pur-
poses. It ran be had in bloom the latter part of
November by taking an early bud, but by se-
lecting later buds most of the flowers are cut
during December, and would advise to select a
late bud as the later buds come somewhat ful-
ler. By selecting late buds fldwers can be had
as late as the middle of January.
Keeping Qualities are excellent, and where a
light, graceiul white flower is wanted "Ham-
burg Late White" cannot be surpassed.
"Hamburg Late White" will be dissemi-
nated in the Spring of 1917. Plants will be
ready forApril, 1917, delivery and all orders will
be filled in rotation.

SPRING FASHIONS at
is CALL FOR COLORS
Wedding bouquets this season arc a riot of color, due perhaps to the
expectation of a shortage of valley, and this artistic New York retailer says
decorations and designs all show the break from precedent in the matter of
color combinations.
PRING weddings are just
like spring itself: They
always come again, but
every year, the same as
April weather, they change
style, bring different
dresses and different flow-
ers. Only the bridegrooms
have always the same
thoughts about the brides,
but the brides have not the same
thoughts about flowers and other things
necessary for the wedding ceremony. It
is quite wonderful what weddings do to
flowers.
There was a scarcity of the little
bulblets which give us the real bridal
flower, the lily of the valley, but that
does not harm. There are so many
other pretty, delicate flowers for bridal
bouquets and for the different brides-
maids that we do not miss lily of the
valley exactly.
Bouquets changed
alto|[ether this year.
Bridal bouquets
made out of lily of
the valley only, or
with the stately
white orchids, are
not seen so much as
they used to be.
New Ideas.
We have now
bouquets out of all
kinds of spring
blossoms. In one
bouquet alone you
can see combined,
just like a happy
family, flowers like
white pansies, white
Roman hyacinths,
creamy white peach
blossoms or double
Japanese cherries,
white primroses,
lilac and many
others.
While some of the
brides carry the
regular shower,
clinging over the
arm and f a 11 i n g
down over the gown,
you see some of the

backwards, almost
forming a part of
the body. Brides,

nionious whole and the flowers for this
combination are just the same as used
for almost any other bouquet.
There is a spray of lilies, there are
two or three gardenias, there is a bunch
of white violets, a few sprigs of lilac,
dainty A'arcissus poeticus, white baby
primroses, delicate as baby's breath.
Mixed up among themselves, they still
harmonize, one improving the other,
and still not one taking the character
of its neighbor.
Bouquets of Bright Blossoms.
Bridesmaids' bouquets, something en-
tirely new, you find made out of spring
blossoms of almost every conceivable
color. The artist does not consider
strictly matched colors for his bouquets.
He can take anything in his hands and

it seems as if every flower would find
its own way to the other flowers, and
no matter what colors, they all, when
put together, have one tone, the tone
of harmony and happiness, and they fit
into the decorations just as well.
The decorations are not any more as
they used to be — just a bower and a lot
of palms with a heavy, set background;
ribbons drawn along the aisle, a big
bunch of Easter lilies on each aisle
post or each pew, and a fancy tree-form
shape above the aisle, just like an arbor
behind our grandfather's farmhouse.
No, you will find it entirely different.
The church is free and clear. Nothing
obstructs our view. From the farthest
corner we can see clear, over the whole
festive place. A delicate curtain of
green is falling from the walls. Two
large candelabra with wax lights on
each side of the candelabra; roses
fastened just as if climbing up; and,
instead of the
bower, two nice,
high, standard
trees of beautiful
tea roses just to set
off the curtain of
green.
White Brides!
The bride in her
white gown has no
more white back-
ground such as they
used to make, so
that you could not
tell in former time
if the bride in her
white gown was a
part of the white
background of lily
of the valley,
white roses or what-
ever white flowers
had been used and
which you see less
and less every-
where. Just the
same as we use for
trimming gowns, a
contrast; just the
same as we try to
find a harmonizing
effect in decorating
our homes, just the
same we should trv
to give the bride,
in her white dress,
a color which not
only will be pleas
ing to the eye, but
which also takes

sad impression which the white flowers
give us, regardless that we should not
feel sad at a wedding.
The flower show will give us a chance
to see all the colors. We will come into
that big hall, and no matter how many
flowers there will be, much art individu-
ally is pent up in each little space of
each exhibitor, regardless that one ex-
hibitor mostly disregards the color com-
bination of his neighbors. Trying to
look at his neighbor's and his own ex-
hibit as individuals, we, when we come
in from the outside, will be impressed
with all that as one exhibit. No matter
from which side we look at the flowers
and how many exhibits we observe at
the same time, somehow we will not
notice that each one is built or put up
by different hands, guided by different
minds. It will seem to us that the whole
has been put up by one master mind.
Only the fact that always beauty har-
monizes with beayty causes this effect.
Beauty in the Mind.
No matter what combinations we will
select for weddings, if the mind that
guides the hands that do the decora-
tion has only beauty in it; as long as
every individual flower is pretty, the
whole, finished, bouquets, decoration,
even if made by different hands, will
always form a fitting setting for the
happy faces of our brides.
So far we did not miss so very much
the absence, or the shortage of lily of
the valley from the market. That
should not mean to say that there is
no lily of the valley. Yes, it is still
plentiful, but at a price where the or-
dinary human being, who has not dol-
lars in suflScient quantities at his dis-
posal, has to look for something to sub-
stitute. And it was a happy thought to
start these mixed spring flower bouquets.
The New Corsages.
But that is not all. The best is the
new corsages. It is quite wonderful how
the mixed spring flower corsages look.
It is quite far away from Easter and
already you can see at fashionable
luncheons and dinners the forerunners
of these beautiful corsages. Why, they
are prettier than orchids, and samples,
made up to take Easter orders in ad-
vance, were not only taken up quite
readily, but there were orders placed
immediately for them far in advance
for Easter.
"Why should we wait until Easter to
have something so pretty? We can use
it right now," is what the ladies said,
and placed orders for immediate de-
livery.
Never Too Late to Mend.
It is never too early to have the good
of life and instead of single plants of
large azaleas, genistas, acacias and
mimosas, the same mixture has been de-
cided on as a proper Easter gift. Sim-
ple, natural bark jardinieres, filled with
primroses, mignonette and other deli-
cate flowers, seem to bring us a whiff
of fresh air and impress in us the
thought that we have in front of us a
part of an" old-fashioned garden. They
keep much better than the strongly
forced stove-house plants, of which
everyone is afraid that they might be
too expensive because everyone claims
on account of the war there are none
coming in from Europe. As if we would
need Europe so badly! Our own grow-
ers with the modern greenhouses grow
all we want. There is the possibility
left that when conditions are normal,
we only will begin to appreciate what
our own home industry is doing for us.
And we do hope to be independent in
flowers as in many other things from our
competitors across the ocean.
RETAIL STORE MANAGEMENT
WHAT THE LEADERS IN THE TRADE ARE DOING
PREPAEINQ FOE EASTEE TEADE.
[An address delivered by David Walker at the
meetinK of the Kentucky Society of Florists, held
at Louisville, Ky., March 7.]
Four weeks from next Sunday being
Easter, it behooves us to be up and
about. The first and most vital part of
efficiency being preparedness, let us not
be caught napping in the eleventh hour.
We want to have everything necessary
ready and at the fingers' ends.
Preparedness embraces a large scope
of small details, namely: the early or-
dering of stock, the having on hand of
lots of boxes made up, designs mossed,
plants trimmed, baskets filled, extra
tubes and casings for your delivery ma-
chines, plenty of wrapping paper, twine,
stationery, change in the register and
plenty of extra help.
In the hustle, bustle and worry of the
last hours of Easter trade, the florist
who looked far enough ahead into these
minor details fares best with the cus-
tomer and himself. At this season of
the year transient patrons are plentiful,
80 have good stock to show them at
fairly reasonable prices, which, tendered
with courteous attention, may be the
means of making a lasting regular cus-
tomer.
If your neighbor can afford to buy
good stock and gets new trade by it,
you would better think it over. A rea-
sonable profit on small orders holds cus-
tomers and is more profitable in the long
run than a big profit once.
Clear Deck for Action.
Wires, stakes and other tools of the
trade are necessary, but keep them out
of sight. In other words, clear the deck
for action.
Anything out of the ordinary, such
as novelties in basket goods and basket
arrangements, draws attention and cre-
ates a lasting impression.
Make constant changes in your win-
dows, as customers soon tire of the same
thing. Try the effect of something out
of the ordinary, such as a fine specimen
plant, and let it be sufficiently distinct.
Hydrangeas are most satisfactory sell-
ers. They last well and give satisfac-
tion. Pansies and maidenhair make up
an artistic thought and are inexpensive.
A striking contrast in ribbon or plants
is all right, but a poor match in the
same color is bad. The white matting
baskets are fine for filling with hya-
cinths and choice bulbous stock.
American Beauties have a fine effect
in plain Roman ware of a tall pattern,
there being no flowers painted on this
to conflict with and sometimes spoil the
effect of the roses. Jonquils and forget-
me-nots loosely arranged make a pretty
table decoration or bouquet.
Make Prompt Deliveries.
As far as possible, as the weather gets
warmer, make deliveries early in the
morning or late of evenings. Always
aim to have your flowering plants in
bloom when you are trying to sell them,
as it will be of little use entering into
a lengthy argument with a customer in
regard to superior or equal merits of a
plant not in flower. The average cus-
tomer considers such the same as buying
a cat in a sack. They want to see a
flowering plant in good bloom.
Poor plants are not desirable at any
time, but when, unfortunately, a num-
ber are on hand they can be sold at
lower prices than those that are asked
for good plants. They should be dis-
posed of in that way, but they should
never be mixed in with choice plants
and delivered to a customer who pays
for good stock.
The rush in quest of the dollar with-
in reach should not detract at the pres-
ent time from staple articles, which, if
given the care they deserve, will amply
repay for the trouble later on. Cycla-
mens, when well grown, are good sellers,
but poor ones are hard to dispose of
at any price, so put the good ones where
they can be seen, and store the others
away and save room and bad impres-
sions on your prospective buyer.
Artistic Grouping Helps.
Less ribbon on Easter plants and more
artistic grouping works up nicely and
helps to move off stock that might go
bad.
Newspapers thoroughly soaked for sev-
eral days before use make an excellent
packing material for cut flowers.
Although hardy plants, forced spiraeas
must not stand about in dry or drafty
positions.
Although many flowers are used with
violets in corsages, they are supposed
to be best when used alone. Never for-
get to use tin foil when making your
corsages, as a pair of soiled gloves, or a
ruined waist or coat may mean a lost
customer.
When possible use the foliage of lilies
of the valley with the flowers, as no
other green is so suitable.
There is scope for originality even
in such a small matter as decorating an
Easter azalea, which, when carrying a
full head of flowers in the somewhat
dry atmosphere of the store, must be
kept well moist at the roots.
Tell customers to keep these as well
as spiraeas well watered or in a saucer
of water.

The Florists' Review

Despite Bush, Watch Details.
When plants or baskets are ordered,
find out the customer's pleasure in re-
gard to time and manner of delivery and
comply thereunto. In the rush of the
next thirty days something might be
overlooked, but under no circumstances
let yourself be short of room.
Made-up baskets should not be ar-
ranged in jumbles, but should have
plenty of room with an eye to harmony.
Look up last Easter's orders and be
prepared for a similar demand. Too
much stock in the windows and not
enough in the icebox is almost as bad
as opposite conditions.
Though effective by daylight, be care-
ful how you associate blue and yellow
flowers for decorations by artificial
light.
Orchids require perhaps more care-
ful arranging than any other flowers,
but they are beautiful when properly
handled.
Well established pansies in small, flat
dishes are excellent Easter plants. The
colors are diversified and the flowers
last well in good condition.
Birchbark boxes and different sorts of
baskets are peculiarly well adapted for
showing such plants as Primula ob-
conica.
Keep Stock Sold in Water.
Keep flowers in water until the last
minute before required for use or deliv-
ery, as it is impossible to tell how they
may be treated when they reach their
destination.
Treat your customer as well if he
spends a dollar as if he had spent ten.
Consider no transaction closed until
the buyer is thoroughly satisfied. Don't
persuade the people to buy something
they do not want, as it is far better to
have an assortment and they will find
something they do want.
Make as few mistakes as possible
and be willing to rectify those unavoid-
able.
Be liberal, honest and friendly, with
courtesy as a motto and good cheer an
asset.
Have a homelike atmosphere about
your place, with polite and courteous
sales people. Your main idea must be
to serve as well as to sell, and, if these
specifications are carried out thoroughly,
I believe this Easter will be a Waterloo
to previous Easter records.
PROPER ICEBOX TEMPERATURE.
Please inform me what temperature
should be maintained in a refrigerator
to keep the flowers in a salable condi-
tion for the longest period possible.
Should the flowers be placed in water
all the time, or just now and then for
two or three hours at a time?
D. M.— Ark.
When a refrigerator is used for all
kinds of cut flowers, the temperature
should be from 40 to 45 degrees. The
standard temperature is 42 degrees. In
this temperature cut flowers should last
for a considerable length of time. The
best way of prolonging the life of flow-
ers is to keep them as free from drafts
as possible. Each morning cut the
stems a little and replace them in vases
filled with water.
In the summer time, when outdoor
stock is plentiful, diflBculty often arises
from bad odors, caused by the rotting
of the foliage and stems. This can be

entirely overcome by the careful use
of about two or three drops of formalde-
hyde to about three quarts of water.
This water must be changed daily.

TO PRESERVE DISPLAY STOCK.
What causes my flowers and plants
to wilt quickly after they are placed in
the display window? I have an ar-
rangement whereby the stock is kept
on display there, but even carnations
and chrysanthemums remain in a sal-
able condition less than twenty-four
hours. Some of them show signs of
going to sleep almost immediately. Tlie
stock is protected from the direct sun-
light by an awning. No gas is used,
but the store is heated by a iDase-burner.
The temperature in the window is cool.
The flowers and plants are well watered.

earthenware vases in the place of gal-
vanized or tin holders. The water be-
comes warm and unsuitable for retain-
ing the freshness of flowers in metal re-
ceptacles. A tiled bottom in the win-
dow would make for coolness and is bet-
ter adapted to flowers than wood, both
for retaining freshness and from a deco-
rative point of view. H. J. H.
The main cause of the wilting of
flowers and plants in your store win-
dow is the too dry atmosphere. I think
one great trouble is that the base-
burner renders the air far too dry for
a flower store. Flowers and plants need
a moist atmosphere and they cannot be
kept in good condition unless the at-
mosphere is cool and moist.
As a remedy for carnations and other
flowers I would suggest an enclosed
window, with a sliding door. Maintain
a good ventilation. This will give the
air in the window enough moisture to
keep the cut flowers and plants in a
far bettfer condition. The dry atmos-
phere takes out every bit of moisture
from the flowers and makes them un-
salable.
Another suggestion is that you use
A WREATH OF BEAUTIES.
There is a little story attached to the
photograph that goes with this descrip
tiou. The story illustrates the confi-
dence shown in the floral artist, a con-
fidence that rivals that so usually dis-
played in the family doctor. It seems
that Herbert S. Bell, who manages the
uptown store of J. J. Habermehl's Sons,
traveled 500 miles to arrange this
wreath. It was pretty tall, taller even
than Mr. Bell. It was composed of 150
American Beauties. Their loveliness was
enhanced by a great bow of ribbon.

Max Schling, New York, for a spring
wedding in a Plainfield, N. J., church.
The main part consisted of two
standard Dorothy Perkins roses, each
twelve feet high, standing in a bed of
blue hydrangeas with Dorothy Perkins
roses climbing on the stems, two stand-
ard blue hydrangeas of the same height
and two standard hydrangeas nine feet
high. The background was of smilax
with pale wistaria tied in. The decora-

BENTHEY RANGE DESTROYED.
Lynch Place Damaged.
Late in the afternoon of Sunday,
March 11, a tornado struck the city of
Newcastle, Ind., widely known in the
trade as the home of numerous large
growers, and the morning papers of
March 12 throughout the United States
carried stories of many deaths and wide-
spread destruction. A paragraph of the
press report said:
"Newcastle is known as the City of
Eoses because of its production of the
beautiful American Beauty roses. The
town has boasted of its acres of hot-
houses. Many of these were directly in
the path of the storm and the frail con-
struction of the glass-covered buildings
fell easy prey to the wind. Thousands
of dollars' damage was done to growing
flowers and other plants."
Two Places Hit.
The fact is that only two places were
hit. The establishment of Frederick J.
Benthey, consisting of about 110,000
square feet of glass, was directly in the
path of the storm. It was crushed flat,
as complete a wreck, probably, as ever
was made of a large greenhouse range
anywhere in this country.
The P. J. Lynch place, consisting of
about 50,000 feet of glass, conducted
under the name of Heller Bros. Co., was
so hard hit that nearly every pane of
glass was broken and much of the struc-
tural material torn asunder.
None of the other greenhouse estab-
lishments suffered serious loss. The
range of the South Park Floral Co.,
Myer Heller, president, lost only about
$500 in broken glass, although it is only
a short distance from the Lvnch place.
P. .T. Olinger, who has 400,000 feet of
glass, is off at the other side of the city
and did not lose even one liglit of glass.
The Peter Weiland place, with another
large area of glass, is beyond the Lynch
and Heller ranges and in line from
Benthey 's, but the storm veered and
passed Weiland without damage. Wm.
Dittman is only a block from the Lynch
and Heller places, but, like Heller, es-
caped with the loss of a few panes of
glass in his big Beauty houses.
The Benthey Loss.
The Benthey place consisted of ten
300-foot houses in roses and two shorter
propagating houses. All that standi is
the service building. The wreck of the
greenhouses is complete. The storm was
of a character to crush the houses rath-
er than to lift them. While there were
cyclonic storms in the neighborhood that
day, the blow which fell on Newcastle
was a tornado, described by the weather
bureau as the spur of a cyclone. It flat-
tened the greenhouses, breaking down
all twelve in the Benthey range, destroy-
ing glass and structural material. Five
of the houses were 13 years old, two
12 years old, three 10 years old and the
propagating houses were modern. The
place is estimated to have been worth
$40,000. The loss may be $35,000. A
part of the loss is covered by storm in-
surance, but it is thought $15,000 of the
cost of rebuilding the houses will fall
on the owner, in addition to the loss
of stock and sales. A portion of the
young stock was saved by removal to
the Dittman range and no doubt there
will be possibilities of salvage in the
bench plants, which are of the best
varieties. It is understood the range

Other Losses.
Tlie losses on residence property along
the path of the storm were large. Myer
Heller, who is a large property owner in
Newcastle, besides being head of a de
partment store, estimates that it will
take $20,000 to repair the damage his
renting buildings sustained.

How It Looked to a Grower.
I was picking sweet peas in the green-
houses when I saw a storm coming. 1
thought it time to close the ventilators^
and ran to the house. No sooner had I
reached it than a roaring sound resem-
bling that of a freight train came and
lasted a little more than two minutes.
When it subsided I looked out at the
greenhouses and could see nothing
wrong with the exception of about a
dozen hotbed sashes.
At the Lynch place, a distance of
about 1,000 yards from where I am
located, which was in the path of the
tornado, not more than 100 to 150 lights
of glass remain intact. Glass was blowiv
in all directions, blowing down the
boiler room and nearly killing one of
the employees. The bars at these houses
nearly all remain standing, except where
they were struck by some flying ob-
ject, such as part of the roof of the
near-by rolling mill that was destroyed.
Mr. Lynch has $3,000 insurance, but said
his loss will be at least $15,000 more.
Dittman 's greenhouses were also un-
harmed and I understand Mr. Lynch
and the Bentheys have rented it and
are moving most of their stock into it
as fast as they possibly can, although
last night was a bad night for it, as it
rained heavily all night, the rain freez-
ing to the ground and trees as it fell.
To think of having been so close to the
path of the tornado and to have escaped
without damage! It certainly was a
miracle. The only thing that is bother-
ing us is the telephone being out of
order. Also, a number of the men and
women failed to come to work.
E. G. Hill, of Richmond, whom I
found yesterday at the Lynch place,
stated, "This is the worst I ever have
seen. I have seen a number of green-
houses blown down in my day, but none
so completely as the Benthey houses."
Here almost everything is flat to the
ground, except the benches, which re-
main standing. The boiler-room and two
small houses built in the last three or
four years remain standing, although
the gables were blown in completely on
these houses, leaving the roof with
about one-half the glass in it.
Of the ten large houses which were
built first little remains standing, not
oven the iron gutters, the outside gutter
at the south end being completely down,
with the posts either iDroken off or bent
over and leaning against the bench.
F. .T. Benthey, whom T found at his
])hicc, told me he had only $5,000 insur-
ance against wind. With the price of
glass at $5 to $6 per box, this would not
even pay one half the price of the glass
alone.
They wore busy here removing all the
young stock. They were keeping a con-
tinuous fire in the boilers, as the main
pipes all remained intact. Only at one
place did I discover a leak. I might
state that the rose plants in the benches
can all be removed and heeled in and
used again, although T do not know if
it is their intention to do this.

just south of the storm, although sev-
eral gables were blown in, some of the
ventilators were thrown over and the
first house to the north suffered severely
from flying objects. The Dittman
houses, on the opposite side of the street
at the south end, were uninjured. Tie
has been wanting to rent his houses for
some time, and it will be an advantage
to both the Bentheys and Mr. Lynch,
as some of his houses were empty and
ready to be occupied again. At the
dinger place no damage was done, tins
being north of the path of the storm
about one mile. Peter Weiland.
RECONSTRUCTING COLDFRAMES.
We intend to replace the wooden
sides of some coldframes with concrete
this season and we wish to get some
information as to the proper thickness
of the walls and the necessary reinforc-
ing. We are also in doubt whether to
make the frames wide enough for two
sashes, with a center wall, or only wide
enough for one set of sashes. Can you
help us out? IT. S.— Mo.
If the frames are to be used during
the winter months, we would prefer to
have them wide enough to carry a row
of hotbed sashes on each side of the
ridge. In case they are only to bo used
as coldframes late in the season, frames
wide enough for a single row of sashes
will be satisfactory.
The walls should be set deep enough
in the ground to provide a good foun
dation, so that they will not be acted
on by frost. Three inches will answer
as the thickness of the top of tlie wall
and four to six inches for the bottom.
Although reinforcing is not necessary,
it is a good plan to run a i/4-inch steel
rod about one inch below the top of
the wall on all sides. Especially with
the wide frames, it will bo a simple
matter to heat them with steam or
hot water. T.
PROPAGATING FICUS ELASTICA.
If it is not too much trouble, will you
describe the best method of rootiujr
Ficus elastica cuttings? Please mention
the kind of soil and the best location in
the greenhouse for the purpose — whether
dark or partly shaded. Is any bottom
heat required? Should 21oaf cuttings
be used, or tops only? .T. 1'. V. — Pn.
Siebreeht is authority for the statement
that, according to the closest estimate
available, "from 80,000 to 100,000 rub-
ber plants arc sold iu America in a sin-
gle year." Among the evidences of
the great demand for the })lant are tho
numerous inquiries about tho methods
of propagating it. The lieviow has an-
swered such inquiries frequently ami
the following directions are largely n
repetition of suggestions given in for-
mer replies.
The jirojtagation of Ficus elastica by
moans of cuttings is generally consi<l-
ered, in this country, a somewhat un-
certain process, as tlie cuttings some
times fail to root when there is no a]>-
parent reason for such failui'o. How-
ever, it is still tho most common method
in some parts of Enrope. Late spring is
a favorable time for the work. Some
growers jtrofor single-eye cuttings, with
only ono or two leaves. Other growers
advise the use of cuttings seven or eight
inches long, always the latest growth
and cut just below a joint, retaining
several loa\'os. Those cuttings are iii-
sortoil in il-incli pots of sand and loam.
The ])ots are plunged in some suitable
material, and a steady bottom heat of
7.") to 80 degrees is maintained. Tho
lea\es are drawn up and tied to a small
stake, so as to save space and facilitate
watering. After the first watering, the
cuttings aro kept only moderately moist.
Tliev should be well rooted before being
shifted.
TIowo\or, a much nu)re comnu)n and
more successful method of jiropagatiug
rubber plants, at least in America, is the
so-called mossing or ringing operation,
which is performed on the tops of the
stock i)lants, so that the roots are
formed on the '"cuttings"' before tho
latter are severed from the parent plaut.
This system can be employed at almost
any season of the year, but spring and
early summer are tho most favorable
])eriods. The process consists sim|)ly of
cutting the stem partly through, at any
desired length, preferably below a leaf.
Stick a couple of toothpicks or any small
pieces of wood into the incision to keep
it open. Then bind sphagnum moss
tightly over, above and below the cut
made. Keep it constantly moist, and to
ensure this keep the stock jdajits in a
warm, moist and shaded house, where
they can be freely syringed, .lust as
soon as roots .are seen peeping through
tho moss, cut the tops off and pot them.
Clarence, N. Y. — E. A. Muchow is in-
vestigating heating with kerosene or
crude oil as an escape from the clutches
of tho coal barons.
Van Wert, O. — Scharff Bros., who are
jobbers of tobacco stems as well as be-
ing florists, say stems continue to rise
in j)rico, being worth $15 to $18 per ton
in carload lots. They are now bonght
u]) by manufacturers of cheap cigarettes
and also by fertilizer companies, which
t xtract the potash they contain.
Reading, Pa. — March 1.1 the members
of the Reading Florists' Association
journeyed to Lancaster, where they were
guests of the I^ancaster County Florists'
Club. An inspection of establishments
at Tiancastor was part of the day's pro-
gram. In the evening a bowling match
took place between the organizations.
It was expected that many of the mem-
bers of the local association would leave
March 17 for the New York show.
There is no doubt that Ficus elastica
is one of the best sellers, one of the
most popular of house plants. IT. A.

CHICAGO CLUB HOLDS NOVELTY SHOW i
/^i^i^iv«^iri«vir)«vir/s\ir)*(ir)*(ih«\ir?s\ih«viri^^
STUDENTS AS GITESTS.
Fine Exhibits.
., There may have been novelty shows
wherd the number of exhibits was larg-
er, the variety greater, or the attend-
ance better, but never has there been a
novelty show where there was more en-
thusiasm than in the one held in con-
junction with the regular monthly meet-
ing of the Chicago Florists ' Club, at the
Morrison hotel, March 8. From the
time the first visitors arrived, at 4 p. m.,
through the excellent dinner with the
accompanying speeches and until, fa-
tigued by animated discussions and de-
bates, the meeting was called to an end
shortly before midnight, was this spirit
detectable.
The afternoon hours were spent in
viewing the various exhibits which had
been previously arranged under the
management of Guy French and to
which the public was invited.
A delegation from the University of
Illinois, consisting of fourteen students
in the floricultural courses and Profes-
sor H. B. Dorner and Assistant Profes-
sor Hecht, were the special guests of the
club. C. C. Pollworth and H. V. Hunkel,
of Milwaukee, both of whom staged ex-
hibits, also were present.
The Banquet.
At 6:30 the members and guests ad-
journed to the dining hall, where a fine
dinner was awaiting them.
At the conclusion of the meal, Fred
Lautenschlager introduced Philip J.
Foley, who extended a welcome to the
visitors and expressed his pleasure in
seeing such a large number of members
present.
Professor H. B. Dorner next ad-
dressed the club on the work that was
being done in floriculture at the Uni-
versity of Illinois. He spoke of the
great advances made by science in the
breeding of flowers, and said that at
the university there are men constantly
at work on the laws and problems of
plant growing. In relation to this se-
lection and pedigree breeding, he said
that he could remember at La Fayette,
Ind., not many years ago, there were
g'rown in the houses carnations of all
the hues and colors of Jacob's coat, but
how certain strains had been eliminated,
until today only a comparatively small
number of color strains are grown.
There are many ills, he further stated,
which in former years were viewed with
the utmost alarm, but which are now
quickly being relieved by the man who
is doing the breeding work and who so
selects his plants as to propagate the
disease-resisting varieties. As examples
of ills which no longer are dreaded he
mentioned carnation and snapdragon
rust. From the possibilities thus opened,
the breeder has before him a great fu-
ture. Viewed from another perspective,
growing to please the public, he said
that he also thought there still are great
possibilities in working up the charac-
ter of the plants, their color and fra-
grance. This work, he stated, always
had a peculiar fascination for him.
Professor Dorner briefly referred to the
good time the few who had attended
the state florists' meeting at Cham-
paign had enjoyed. In conclusion, he
reminded all that the university green-
houses are for their benefit and that he
hoped all will make use of such help as
the university offers. He urged that all
who can do so come to Champaign and
see the work that is being done and
give to him their valued advice or criti-
cism, or on the other hand to bring their
problems before him, so that the uni-
versity can serve in solving them.
President William H. Amling next
appointed committees to report the va-
rious exhibits, as follows: Committee
on roses: W. Keimel, Joseph Kohaut,
Ernst Amling; on bulbous stock, Albert
H. Schneider, Edward H. Goldenstein,
Albert Erickson; on carnations. Profes-
sor H. B. Dorner, W. F. Dunteman, Fred
Schramm.
The Meeting.
The speeches over, the members took
a brief breathing spell before President
Amling called the business meeting to
order. Over 100 members were present.
This being the first meeting he has been
able to attend since his election as presi-
dent, he opened with a consideration of
what should be accomplished by the
club in the next year. He urged upon
all members the duty of attending the
meetings, and said that it was disap-
pointing, indeed, when the club commit-
tees worked so hard, to find members
staying at home, expounding pessimistic
views, but still unwilling to give that
cooperation which would make for an
amelioration of conditions. He pleaded
that all do their best in increasing the
membership list and said that if all
would take as their byword the slogan
of the great Chicago market, "I Will,"
tlie comrng year can not help but be a
banner one. For, he concluded, "United
we stand, divided we fall," and "In
unity there is strength."
Applications were received from H. G.
MacLellan, JIammond, Ind.; E. A. Bebb,
Mount Greenwood Cemetery Associa-
tion; Eugene C. Bowen, 8167 Broadway,
and Hilmer V. Swenson, 624 South Mich-
igan avenue. The following were elec-
ted to membership: John Sinner, M. C.
Wright, Arthur M. Luedtke, George F.
Kastelink, Charles Niemann and T. E.
Walters. Fred Lautenschlager gave a
preliminary report on the work done by
the posterette committee, which showed
sales of 83,084 posters and 362,395 post-
erettes, amounting to $1,751.60, or an ap-
proximate profit of $1,178.85. He said
that the committee had decided that it
was unnecessary to do anything for
Easter, this being an acknowledged flow-
er day, and that it suggested awaiting
the action of the S. A. F. directors, who
will meet in New York March 15, before
doing anything as concerns Mothers'
day. A vote of thanks was extended to
the committee, as well as a voucher for
$100 payable to Fred Tiautenschlager
for the successful work done.
A motion was passed that President
Amling be empowered to appoint a sub-
stitute to attend the S. A. F, directors'
meeting in New York should he be un-
able to go, if this were in accordance
with the by-laws of the S. A. F. H. N.
Bruns was appointed chairman of a com-
mittee to entertain the S. A. F. directors
who come through Chicago. A letter
was read from Mrs. Lyman A. Walton,
president of the Chicago chapter of the
Wild Flower Preservation Society of
America, asking for cooperation and
petitioning the florists of this city not to
sell wild flowers. It was decided to
endorse this request. Guy French asked
for the sentiment of the club in regard
to national advertising, suggesting that
it be put in the hands of the S. A. F.
After long discussion it was decided
that the Chicago Florists * Club continue
the work along this line, at the same
time advising the S. A. F, of what was
being done, and stating its willingness
to relinquish such campaigns should the
S. A. F. take the matter up.
In conclusion, the treasurer read his
report, which showed a balance of
$331.41 on hand, aside from $263 re-
ceived that night and $40.77 in bills to
be paid.
The Exhibits.
The show was not large, nor were the
exhibits novelties, except in a few cases,
but the quality was excellent and the
display was large enough to make a
creditable showing. Specially commend-
able were the King Alfred and Glory of
Leiden narcissi of Alfred Jurgens, the
Imperator carnations of W. H. Amling,
the Rosalie roses of the South Park
Floral Co., the Ophelia roses of the A. F.

INDIANA ASSOCIATION AT LA FAYETTE

HOOSIERS DISCUSS PRICES.
Dorner Brothers Gracious Hosts.
At 8:15 a. m. March 7 a jolly party
of Indianapolis florists left by special
train for La Fayette to attend the
meeting of the State Florists' Asso-
ciation of Indiana. At the destination
they were met by the Corner brothers,
of the F. Dorner & Sons Co., and
motored to the Dorner establishment.
Everything at this establishment was
in excellent shape. The new carnation,
Laddie, which the Dorners class as the
greatest carnation they have ever put
out, was the admiration of all. Another
great sight was a bed of seedling car-
nations, in which there were about 1,200
varieties, ranging in colors from almost
black to palest shades of pink and
white. These also included striped,
flaked and plain colors.
The roses were in fine crop. A new
seedling rose, a feature, is a pleasing
shade of pink and highly perfumed.
The Dorners are contemplating putting
Kose Marie, as they call it, on the mar-
ket next year. Hoosier Beauty and
Eussell roses looked well. Ophelia was
in largest crop of all — 2-year-old stock
replanted. Prince of Wales violets were
in excellent flower and had been so since
before Christmas.
Entomologist's Ofllce Retained.
The first part of the association meet-
ing was held at the Dorner greenhouses.
The minutes of the January meeting
were read and approved, and also the
report on the carnation show and meet-
ing. The following were proposed for
membership: F. W. and B. A. Blubaugh,
C. B. Durram, L L. Totten, E. B. Sted-
dum and C. L. Griffith. Daniel Bash
and Thomas D. Hepler were elected to
membership.
The committee appointed to cooperate
with the state entomologist was absent,
and its report was held over until the
next meeting. The members were
pleased to learn that their efforts had
been rewarded and that the office of
state entomologist would be retained in
Indiana. Irwin Bertermann stated
that, as pre^dent of the State Florists'
Association, he had written to the
governor, asking that this office be re-
tained.
After adjournment there was a pleas-
ant motor trip to the club house, where
a splendid banquet was served. The
Dorners put forth every effort to make
this a success. The tables were artis-
tically decorated with Laddie carna-
tions. Incidentally any kind of liquor
the members desired was forthcoming,
as there would be only one more chance
to "treat," the state having gone dry.
"Get Higher Prices!"
After the banquet the business ses-
sion was resumed. President Berter-
mann introduced the subject, "Get
Higher Prices," which he said was a
topic near to his heart. He maintained
that in view of the increased cost of
everything, an advance in prices was
necessary. Men in the employ of the
florists were not making enough to
keep their families, yet florists could
not give them higher wages with the
present selling prices of flowers. He
claimed that, considering hours, florists
are the poorest paid men in the working
class, averaging only $2 to $2.25 per
day. He stated that his company had
raised some of their prices, and that the
public had not objected. He therefore
felt that flowers have ceased to be a
luxury, and are a commodity.
W. W. Coles agreed with the presi-
dent and felt that it was high time that
florists were pulling together. "With
coal at pky-high prices and overhead ex-
penses great, growers would have to
charge more. Eeferring to some large
blooms of Laddie, Mr. Cole said that
such stock ought to bring $2 per dozen
retail.
Frederick Dorner reported that the
Dorner & Sons Co. had raised prices
fifteen per cent this year and expected
to raise twenty-five per cent next year,
but he considered it wise to do this
gradually. This year the company ad-
vanced prices on bedding stock, and
if geraniums would not bring $2 per
dozen they would not be sold.
"Act Now!" — Dorners' Slogan.
Theodore Dorner said he believed the
time was ripe, that it would never be
more opportune. He stated that when
such things presented themselves to
other merchants, they acted imme-
diately. He said that many florists do
not figure overhead expenses accurately
enough. He felt that all petty jeal-
ousies should be set aside and a closer
cooperation maintained, while the time
was ripe. "Act now!" is his slogan.
Allan Humason agreed with the
speaker, saying that in previous years,
before entering this business, he had
seen merchants raise prices at the least
provocation. Since florists' supplies
had increased in cost, why should not
florists and retailers advance the cost
of flowers, instead of waiting and trust-
ing to a brighter future, or expecting
things to adjust themselves?
Dr. J. A. Haugh, recently of Stuart &
Haugh, agreed with all that had been
said, especially with what Mr. Berter-
mann said. His belief is that the man
who gets top-notch prices is more re-
spected by the buying public, and that
the cheap man leads himself to his own
end.
Following the discussion, the secre-
tary read a partial report of the flower
show. It was decided that the next
meeting be held April 3 at Indianapolis.
This meeting will be of special interest
to the retailers, as there will be a paid
lecturer to speak on "Salesmanship."
This lecture will be followed by an open
discussion.
Three resignations were tendered,
those of A. P. Keynolds, and the
Lantner brothers. 3. D. Carmody, of
Evansville, and Doctor Haugh were
voted honorary members of the asso-
ciation. The latter, who is departing
for Florida, is one of the oldest mem-
bers. The provision for the two days'
outing, usually held in July at Winona
lake, was struck out of the constitution.
Purdue Trip Finishes Day.
W. W. Coles thanked the Dorners for
their entertainment. President Berter-
mann thanked Purdue in advance. Dr.
Haugh, who was called upon for a de-
parting speech, stated that he had been
a member of the association for twenty-
one years, had been president three
times and had twice acted on committees
for the American Carnation Society.
He stated that he felt near to the asso-
ciation— near to the old members and
fatherly to the young ones.
Walter Fischer's scheme for Mothers'
day was explained. It includes stamps,
posters and newspaper cuts.
A trip to the Purdue University green-
houses was enjoyed. There were quite a
variety of cut flowers and decorative
plants. There also was a section de-
voted to vegetable gardening — cauli-
flower and lettuce planted together —
and a section of winter tomatoes. The
tomato plants are said to produce about
eight pounds of fruit to a plant, for
which they receive 20 cents per pound.
One house was devoted to cucumbers,
which were in flower, except a few
English cucumbers of enormous size.

The Florists' Review
Mauoh 15, 1917.
THE MARCH SHOW DATES,
The accompanying table shows the
dates of the four big flower shows to be
held during the next few days. This
schedule is arranged a la baseball and
therefore is easily read and remembered.
It shows the opening date of each show,
also the banquet date and the closing
date of the show.
"While it is unfortunate that the dates
of these important exhibitions conflict,
nevertheless it is possible for anyone to
attend one-half of the full show period
of each exhibition. Fred iLautenschlag-
er, of Chicago, who planned it, has
found that florists from the far east
could take in the first two days of the
big western show. Then by leaving St.
Louis Friday night they will arrive in
time to take in the New York show
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Next,
by leaving New York Tuesday night
one can arrive in time to take in the
Philadelphia show Wednesday and
Thursday. Then pack the grips and
leave Philadelphia Thursday night foi'
Boston, arriving there Friday morning,
Which will give three days for the big
New England show.
Mr. Lautenschlager is planning to
cany out this program.

of Dorothy Perkins, but quite distinct. Color,
deep rose-pink. Equally vigorous and free in
flowering.
The E. G. Hill Co., Richmond, Ind.,
registered the following:
Columbia, a large habited, upright grower,
with large-sized foliage, producing long, stiff
stems and bearing a large flower of bright pink
color, which deepens as the flower matures.
The Double Ophelia, similar to the parent In
everything save the fullness of the flower. This
variety has twice as many petals as the parent;
clear and brilliant in color.
Rose Premier may be described as a Mrs.
present will be the largest in the his-
tory of that body, because of the in-
creased number of directors caused by
the affiliation plan. The work outlined
promises to keep the board constantly
occupied for the two days.
In addition to the usual grist of
routine matters, the board will have a
number of special and unusually impor-
tant matters for action. In the first
place, the St. Louis national flower
show demands attention and with it
comes the question of changing the date
for the 1918 convention of the S. A. F.
A matter of even larger impor-
tance to the trade at large is that to be
presented for the legislative committee
by James McHutchison. It concerns
the efforts being made to secure the
enactment of a law to prevent all im-
portations of horticultural commodities
as a means of excluding possible new in-
sect pests and diseases. The board will
be asked to go the limit in opposition
to such legislation.
The board also will have a report and
probably a recommendation from the
committee on trade directory, also from
the committee on publicity. These, if
positive action be taken, will commit
the S. A. F. to policies and undertakings
radically different and more difficult
than it has handled in the past and
will call for careful consideration.
ERROR IN ROSE SHOW FORM.
In the entry form for next week's
rose festival at Philadelphia, March 21
is given as the date for staging the
commercial classes of cut roses. This is
a mistake, says Secretary Fred Cow-
perthwaite. These classes will be staged
by noon, March 20, and it is essential
that exhibitors note this rectification.
WORCESTER, MASS., SHOW.
The Worcester County Horticultural
Society's annual spring flower show,
held March S and 9, was conceded by
many to be the best over staged by the
society. The large hall resembled a
large garden, though there really were
five gardens, four corner gardens and
a square garden in the center. Along
the sides of the gardens the specimen
plants for premiums were placed. E. W.
Breed was in charge of the exhibition.
H. F. A. Lange had one of the corner
gardens. He used tulips, hyacinths,
narcissi; in fact, all bulbous stock. In
the center was a bird bath, with arti-
ficial humming birds, bees and butter-
flies, to make the scene more realistic.
Mr. Lange also had the center garden,
in which he used genistas, lilacs, acacias,
azaleas, cyclamens and primulas. The
centerpiece was an exceptionally large
genista, with the other plants forming
a pyramid around it.
E. W. Breed had a corner garden of
blooming plants and boxwoods. In this
garden Mr. Breed showed a new vibur-
num. Its strong odor was similar to
that of the mayflower.
The Gage private conservatories fur-
nished a third corner, using blooming
plants, with coco palms as a background.
The competition in the different
classes was unusually keen, particularly
in the cyclamen classes. Harry I. Ran-
dall had an attractive display of yellow
roses at one end of the hall. Sunburst.
Ophelia, Ward and Tipperary were the
varieties. They were arranged in bas-
kets. Miss Lucy Coulson had a pretty
basket that captured second prize. Miss
Coulson is an amateur and made the bas-
ket herself.
The awards were:
Cut flowers 11. F. A. Lange, first; Homer
Cage, second.
Carnations — Alfred Knight, first: Sunnyside
Greenhouses, second: R. M. Ward, third.

INDIANAPOLIS.
The Market.
The market has felt little change
since last week. A scarcity of roses
still prevails and also a shortage in
carnations, lilies and fancy sweet peas,
although medium and short sweet peas
are slightly glutted, the latter bringing
50 cents to $1, while fancies make $1.50.
Business is exceptionally good, coun-
ter trade being fine. All the retailers
proclaimed Saturday, March 10, the best
day enjoyed in a long time. Funeral,
corsage and decorative work have also
been unusual, the latter being due to
several conventions, important banquets,
•etc.
Roses are bringing from $3 to $15;
medium grade carnations bring $2 and
$3, with fancies at $4. Smaller flowers
and spring stock take well, including
jonquils, tulips, hyacinths, freesias,
sweet peas, violets, marguerite daisies,
mignonette and calendulas. The freesia
season is about over, however, and good
stock is not abundant.
Potted plants are in good favor and
are also of good quality. Greens are
still scarce, with smilax bringing $2 a
dozen.
Various Notes.
Karl Sonnenschmidt, of the Smith &
Young Co., has taken a trip to Florida
and while there intends to investigate
the southern green situation.
August Duderstadt again is with Wie-
gand's Sons Co.
The Bertsch Floral Co., of Greens-
burg, has discontinued business.
The Claypool Hotel Florist has been
enjoying an exceptional business. Mr.
Bookedis recently had the decorations
and corsage work for a sorority ban-
quet and dance, and for a Kentucky
university banquet.
Clarence Greene, of Hensley's Flower
Shop, has a clever and attractive way
of demonstrating his patriotism. Amer-
ican flag stickers on each box sent out
are appropriate for the times.
Clarence Thomas, of the E. G. Hill Co.,
has enjoyed good business for this time
of year. He has had quite a run on cor-
sage work shipped out of town.
Several of the local tradesmen have
been off duty on account of illness.
Oliver Steinkamp has had the grip; A.
P. Reynolds has been threatened with
pneumonia; Alvin Schreiber has been
ill for some time; Harry Rieman has
pneumonia; Bertha Eisner has had an
attack of grip and Henry W. Rieman
has been sick for the last few days,
suffering from a nervous breakdown.
The Pahud Floral Co. recently ran a
sale of the right kind on sweet peas.
The advertisement read — "Special — to-
day only — sweet peas 25, 35 and 50 cents
a bunch." Some of the local depart-
ment stores have also been advertising
carnations at 35 cents a dozen; sweet
peas and violets, two bunches for 25
cents, and hanging baskets. Would it
not be a good plan when advertising
to add "Buy your flowers at a flower
store," bringing out freshness, quality,
etc., as important items?
Harry M. Berner, of Chicago, was a
visitor this week. E. E. T.
MR. MORGAN'S PROMOTION.
Lord & Burnham Co., in addition to
its several branch offices, has opened one
in the Penobscot building, Detroit. It
is in charge of Victor Morgan, who for
the last three years has been associated
with Mr. Merrick, at the Cleveland of-
fice. The Detroit branch, like the Cleve-
land one, will be carried on in conjunc-
tion with the western office, where the
manager of sales is M. C. Wright, for-
merly prominently identified with the
company's Philadelphia activities.
Victor Morgan.
Mr. Morgan was for several years
traveling representative of Bobbink &
Atkins, Rutherford, N. .J. Leaving them
six years ago, he joined the sales force
of Lord & Burnham Co., at the New
York office. After the usual schooling
and experience this concern gives its
representatives to further broaden their
knowledge, he spent considerable time
in the Boston, Chicago and Cleveland
territories. Backed by such a breadth
of experience, combined with a genial-
ity of decided likableness, he is well
equipped for his new responsibilities.
HOLYOEE, MASS.
The regular meeting of the Holyoke
and Norhampton Florists' and Garden-
ers' Club was held March 6 at the home
of John Lament, superintendent of the
J. A. Skinner estate. South Hadley. The
chief business transacted was the adop-
tion of a revised constitution and by-
laws. The president was requested to
extend to Prof. A. H. Nehrling the best
wishes of the club for success in his
business venture. All those who know
him regret his leaving this part of the
conntrv. .Tames Whiting gave a prac-
tical talk on chrysanthemums, which
afforded both pleasure and profit, Mr.
Whiting having been notably success-
ful with mums at the M. A. C. green-
houses. H. E. Downer exhibited Nar-
cissus Lucifer and White Lady, large
spikes of hyacinths in variety and Tril-
lium grandiflorum. H. E. D.
OMAHA, NEB.
The Market.
Last week closed with a warm wave,
the temperature jumping to 70 degrees
in the shade, but the next morning found
it hovering around the freezing point.
Roses are in fine condition and there
is just about enough of the long, fancy
stock to satisfy the demand. Shorter
grades, however, are not quite so plen-
tiful, and at times it is almost impossi-
ble to take care of orders for this class
of stock. The supply of high-grade
Beauties is light, and high prices pre-
vail for the few to be had. Hoosier
Beauty is becoming popular and bids
fair to become the favorite red in this
locality.
There now seems to be an abundance
of carnations. The average quotations
last week were $3 to $4. A large quan-
tity sold at $2 per hundred, but these
were not up to an acceptable quality.
Orchids, lilies and valley remain scarce.
Daisies are arriving in larger quantities
and are selling well. The supply and
quality of sweet peas never were better,
and the demand is all that could be
wished for.
Potted plants this year enjoyed
greater popularity than ever before, es-
pecially cyclamens and primulas. Spring
and Easter stock never looked better,
and the outlook at this date for an extra
heavy run of business was never
brighter.
The fuel situation is assuming some-
thing like normal conditions, and prices
are down within easy reach of all.
Various Notes.
All records for sales were smashed
March 10 at Stewart's Seed Store. A
large shipment of pot plants that ar-
rived in the morning was sold out en-
tirely, as well as most of the stock on
hand. This is unusual during Lent.
Roy Wilcox, of J. F. Wilcox & Sons,
Council Bluffs, reports that both their
wholesale and retail business has been
far above expectations, and everything
indicates the best spring trade this firm
has ever experienced. Blaine Wilcox,
of this firm, is in St. Louis this week,
combining business with pleasure.
The regular meeting of the Florists'
Club was held March 8. The meeting
was devoted to the discussion of ways
and means of stimulating new interest
in the club, which would prove attrac-
tive to those who are not members. The
following were admitted to member-
ship: S. B. Stewart, O. H. Herman,
Charles Nelson, C. G. Hargecline, A.
Hooge, Walter Zimmer and Fred Shaw.
A larger number is expected to be ad-
mitted at the next meeting.
Rumor has it that much additional
glass is to be put up in this vicinity this
summer. It is also reported that three
of Omaha's oldest florists wish to retire
from business and are anxious to dispose
of their establishments. L. S. H.
Cadillac, Mich. — J. P. Herzog has left
town to take possession of .a range of
houses he recently purchased, near Bel-
videre, 111.

The Florists^ Review
Mabch 15, 1917.
BALTIMORE.
The Gardeners' Club's Birth.
Our column last week was devoted to
the Maryland Horticultural Association.
This week let us look at the organiza-
tion that succeeded it, and to do this we
will have to go back to the beginning
of what is today the modern and up-to-
date florists' business of our city.
It was far back in 1887 when an idea
struck a prince of good fellows, the late
Robert J. Halliday, and a few more who
nsed to assemble at his store, that they
should have a club through which they
might gather at stated times, exchange
ideas and get to know each other better.
So March 11, 1887, a little coterie
of kindred spirits, consisting of gar-
deners, organized the Gardeners' Club
of Baltimore. I am sure that this little
band of men the night they organized
the club had no idea how much the club
would mean to the craft in this city.
Mr. Halliday was the first president,
and the members met in his store, where
* * shop ' ' only was talked, as its member-
ship consisted only of those connected
with the trade. There were the private
gardeners, that is, those who had charge
of the houses on private places; the
growers who were in the business for
commercial reasons; those who had
stores but did not grow their own stock,
at least not all they used. At these
meetings methods would be discussed,
not only as to how best to grow stock,
but also as to things that would be for
the best interests of the business. These
meetings were more on the order of a
night school than a club meeting. When
a man was known to be successful in
some particular line of the business he
would be asked to tell us how best to
do that certain thing, such as growing
roses in pots for market, for instance;
what success he had in growing them in
the field during summer and heeling
them in in the fall; what time they
should be potted up and trimmed; the
size of pots used to have them in good
condition for the spring market.
The Old Florists' Exchange.
Naturally, one of the topics to come
up before the club — and I think every-
one will agree with me that it was the
most important thing the club ever did
— was the question of the grower dis-
posing of his stock and the storeman
procuring it with the least trouble and
loss of time for each. After full dis-
cussion on the subject, the following
letter was sent to every grower and re-
tail store in and about the city, Novem-
ber 11, 1889:
Dear Sir: — You are most urgently requested to
attend a special meeting of the Gardeners' Club
to be held Monday, November 18, at 8 p. m., at
the store of Robt. J. Halliday, 8 South Charles
street. At the last meeting of the club it was
decided to establish a florists' exchange for the
sale of cut flowers at wholesale, to dealers and
florists only. The object of the exchange will
be to find a marlset for growers' produce, where
dealer* can buy their flowers with a minimum
waste of time and money.
This letter was signed by the com-
mittee, consisting of Edwin A. Seide-
witz, chairman; Kobert J. Halliday,
Isaac Moss, John "Widey and Conrad
Hess.
There was a good response and the
Florists' Exchange became a fact in
our city, even though it had a humble
start. Mr. Halliday was elected presi-
dent, and the Exchange started for busi-
ness in a cellar at 120 North Liberty
street, with Edward Schmidt as man-
ager. The business of the Exchange was
conducted by a board of seven directors,
four of whom were growers, and this
board served one year and met monthly.
The oflScers were president, vice-presi-
dent, secretary and treasurer. These
were elected from the board of direc-
tors immediately after the board's elec-
tion. It speaks well for the harmony
with which the affairs of the Exchange,
were conducted, as well as the business
ability of the men who had it in charge,
that, during the life of the Exchange, it
had but three presidents, Eobert J. Hal-
liday, Isaac Moss and John Eider. Mr.
Moss served twenty years as president.
Each member was obliged to purchase
one share of stock. A commission of ten
per cent was deducted from the gross
sales of regular consignors, and fifteen
per cent from the sales of those who
consigned irregularly. The old proverb,
"Great oaks from little acorns grow,"
was never better demonstrated than in
the twenty-four years of life of the Ex-
change. From the cellar on North
Liberty street it was moved across the
street, .with John J. Perry as manager.
Under his "iwanagement the business
grew and expanded. When Mr. Perry
went into business for himself James J
Rogers took charge, and the business
was moved to a better store and loca-
tion on Park avenue. But the business
was growing and the management had
to have more room, so the Exchange has
removed to North Eutaw street, with
Alex. Scott as manager. The directors
found out by this time that they must
have a home of their own, with a build-
ing suitable for the purpose. A building
at the corner of St. Paul and Franklin
streets was bought, and on the ground a
modern building was erected at a cost of
about $30,000. Manager J. Perry came
back and was again made manager.
As I write this I have before me a
statement of the business done in 1909.
The total sales were $103,741.74, and the
total cash receipts $98,621.97. This was
"some" growth, from the rented cellar
on Liberty street to a home of its own, in
twenty years.
In 1913 the Pennock-Meehan Co., of
Philadelphia, was looking around in
Baltimore for an opportunity to open
a wholesale house. Naturally, after in-
vestigation, it went after the Exchange.
August 29, 1913, in a letter to the presi-
dent, I. H. Moss, they made an offer to
the stockholders of $500 per share, for
stock that had originally cost $5 per
share. This offer was accepted at a
meeting held September 2, 1913, and the
Pennock-Meehan Co. is now in posses-
sion of what was the Florists* Exchange.
This should make the boys proud of the
business in which they are engaged, for
there are not many businesses that will
grow to such proportions in the short
span of twenty-four years. The whole
thing dates back to that little meeting
held in Halliday 's store November 18,
1889.
How to Get News Printed.
Now, boys, in my first letter I told
you that anyone who had any news
should call up Mt. Vernon 121 and I
would see that it reached the column.
It is impossible for me to get around
to all, and the column is for everyone
in Baltimore. I will try to have some-
thing of interest for everyone each
week, and as this is your business, it
is up to you to help me. Everyone I
have asked has been most kind and
ready to help, and there is no reason
why the column in The Review should
not be an interesting one for the trade in
Baltimore.
Business, from the reports I have se-
cured, is good all along the line. Lent
seems to make no difference. There has
been plenty of funeral work and counter
trade has been good. Stock is equal to
the demand and all the growers are
figuring on having an abundance of
stock for Easter, and I have never seen
any go begging yet. Everything looks
good for a prosperous Easter and spring.

CONNECTICUT COMMENT
New London, Conn. — The E. W. Clark
Estate is well pleased with business,
past and present. "The Easter outlook
both in demand and supply, we feel will
meet our expectations," says John Clark.
Waterbury, Conn. — Saxe & Floto are
much pleased with business done in the
new store. Although almost directly
opposite the old stand, the change is
quite noticeable. Stock for Easter looks
good.
Fair Haven, Conn. — Smith T. Bradley
says the weather has been severe for the
grower of small fruits. He has a large
acreage of raspberries to be cut over.
Store business has held up remarkably
well. Predictions for the best Easter yet
are made.
New Haven, Conn. — The Frank S.
Piatt Co. reports an unusual call for
their seed catalogue, compiled with ex-
tra care this year. A brisk counter
trade predicts a busy season. The whole
store is now devoted to the seed re-
quirements.
Westvllle, Conn. — Frank Sokol says
the bulbous stock is the best in his long
experience, there being scarcely any
blind bulbs, which accounts for the large
stocks on the market. He predicts a
shortage for Easter should a mild spell
of weather set in.
Norwalk, Conn. — E. G. Hanford re-
grets a shortage in the market for ferns
of the Boston type. He usually raises a
big stock for his retail trade, but finds
sales have exceeded the supply. Table
ferns are again becoming popular.
Among Easter stock a nice batch of
hybid perpetual roses is counted on.
Walllngford, Conn.— The F. Eowden
& Mitchell Co. recently rebuilt and now
has an up-to-date place arranged to sup-
ply the retail trade. A well grown
stock of geraniums heads the list of bed-
ding plants. Easter Greeting looks
promising. The labor question necessi-
tates the growing of stock that requires
the least amount of handling.

ST. LOUIS.
The Market.
Business during the last week was not
rushing; in fact, funeral work was the
only thing that kept the wholesalers and
retailers busy some days. The market
was oversupplied all the week with al-
most everything in season, and prices
took a decided drop in all grades. The
clear, warm weather brought on stock
with a rush. Violets were a glut and sold
cheaply, but they will soon be a thing
of the past, especially if the warm spell
keeps on. By Easter there probably
will be none.
Boses are becoming more plentiful,
but as yet are not crowding the market.
They should be in full crop at Easter.
Carnations are abundant in all varie-
ties, and the average price for the best
grade is $2. Extra fine sweet peas are
plentiful, but only the extra fancy have
the call and bring anything like a price.
Bulbous stock is plenteous; Easter lilies,
callas, valley, freesias, tulips, jonquils
and Paper Whites are to be had at ex-
ceedingly low prices. Plumosus, Spren-
geri and adiantum are scarce. In other
greens there is a good supply daily.
dub Meeting.
The Florists' Club held an interest-
ing meeting March 8 at the Missouri
Botanical Garden. This meeting, held
a week previous to the spring flower
show, brought out quite a large attend-
ance. After disposing of the opening
business, a letter from John Young, sec-
retary of the S. A. F., was read, in
which the secretary spoke of the Na-
tional Flower Show and "the S. A. F.
meeting, which, it is expected, will be
held here at the same time, in March,
1918.
Ivan Erickson and A. P. Mclntire
were elected to membership. The chair
then called on the committees for re-
ports. That of the show committee was
most interesting to all present. Joseph
Hauser and P. Schneider were requested
to read papers at the next club meeting.
The subjects were left to their choice.
M. C. Wright, of the Lord & Burnham
Co., made application for membership.
V. C. Folanius, a former student of the
Garden and now forestry expert for the
government, was present, and gave
some interesting accounts of timber sale
work for the government. The question
box brought out some lively discussions,
the one regarding lilies for Easter re-
sulting in a long debate. L. Baumanii
told the members how to get rid of fun-
gus in greenhouse beds.
After the meeting the members were
taken in hand by Max Schiller, who
guided them through the big conserva-
tories, where monthly flower shows are
being held. The next meeting of the
club will be held April 12.
Various Notes.
The young gardeners' association held
its second meeting March 7, at the For-
est park greenhouses. There were thirty-
five members present, with vice-presi-
dent George Pring presiding. Stephen
Beer, gardener for the John T. Davis
estate, read a paper on "Preparation
for Spring Work." Eleven new mem-
bers were added to the list. The asso-
ciation will hold meetings every second
Wednesday of each month.
Mrs. Ella Grant Wilson, of Cleveland,
addressed St. Louis florists at the Mis-
sion Inn Garden, March 5. The large
hall was filled with florists and there
were many women in the audience. Mrs.
Wilson spoke on publicity and service
for florists. Mrs. Wilson was followed
by President Bourdet and Vincent
Gorly, who endorsed the idea set forth
by Mrs. Wilson. Befreshments were
served after the meeting. Great credit
is due Mr. Gorly, who was instrumental
in bringing Mrs. Wilson here.
F. H. Weber last week opened his
new flower establishment at Olive and
Taylor streets. The writer, who visited
the new store, found it one of the most
up-to-date in the city. It is on the cor-
ner, with entrances on Taylor and Olive
streets. The flxtures are finished in old
ivory. Paul Hyland is in charge of the
new store, and Adolph Steidle is man-
ager of the old stand, which will be
continued. The boss splits his time
between the two places.
The McCloskey Bros. Floral Co. has
moved into its new quarters at the cor-
ner of Grand and Finney avenues. Ev-
erything is in working order and the
management reports splendid business.
The new flower store known as the
Delmar Union Flower Show, over whicli
Mrs. G. K. McNeill and Miss Betty
Carlstrom preside, had its formal open-
ing last week at 5260 Delmar boulevard.
Marion Uhlschmidt, head of Grimm &
Gorly 's east side branch, is sporting a
new car. His daily visits to the whole-
sale district required as rapid transit as
possible.
Oscar Huettemann, of the Tower
Floral Co., came out last week with a
new Studebaker machine. He handled
the wheel like a veteran.
J. B. Demand, well known as a whole-
saler of a few years back, paid us a
visit last week, renewing old acquaint-
ances. Mr. Demand made the trip west
for his health.
Paul Hranicka, head of the green-
house range of John T. Milliken, at Cres-
cent, left last week for Elm Grove, W.
Va., where he will wed Miss Josephine
Kirchner. The couple will return this
week to take in the spring flower show.
A. J. Butterfield, of Farmington, Mo.,
accompanied by his bride-to-be, Miss
L. Cole, paid the city a visit March 11,
and announced the wedding day, March
20, at Farmington.
John Miller, formerly with the J. S.
Wilson Floral Co., of Des Moines, la.,
was a visitor last week. Mr. Miller se-
cured a position with Grimm & Gorly.

Alfred F. Schiller.
The Milwaukee trade lost a well
known member in the death of Alfred
F. Schiller, of 1044 Twenty-seventh
street, who passed away March 8, after
a lingering illness of over two years.
Mr. Schiller was born at Coburg, Ger-
many, where he lived until he was 17.
He was a member of the West Side
Turners for over fifteen years and was
assistant instructor for part of the
time. He was the proud owner of nine-
teen medals, each representing a victory
in acrobatic contests. Mr. Schiller is
survived by his wife and two sons,
Eobert and Raymond, who have the sin-
cere sympathy of the trade. H. J. S.
Andrew B. Holmes.
Andrew B. Holmes, proprietor of
greenhouses at Brookings, S. D., March
1 was stricken with heart failure and
fell to the floor dead. He was 69 years
of age and moved to Brookings from
Washington, D. C, where he was iden-
tified with the florists' business. He ia
survived by five children.

C, E. Rossiter, of Sunbury, Pa., had
the new boilers in good shape when the
cold snap arrived. Winter has no ter-
rors for him now; with abundant stock
and excellent demand, all is serene.
Powers & Co., of Danville, Pa., make
a specialty of roses and have received
the highest continuous prices for sev-
eral seasons. "Roses for me!" said
Thomas Powers; "except that some of
our houses get really cool, and here is
where carnations come in, as the rose
is much more sensitive."
J. A. Peterson & Sons, of Westwood,
O., report the best season on record.
They are making preparations by a
heavy propagation of stock and adding
space to take care of an even bigger fu-
ture. I found the senior Mr. Peterson
critically surveying the stock plants of
cyclamens set aside for seed, and noted
the big seed pods fit to burst, while many
blooms were yet at their best. It gave
one an excellent opportunity to judge of
the vigor of the plant, size and delicacy
in color of bloom. Begonia Melior is
considered the best in its class; and, by
the way, I noted a sport of Melior, with
a larger flower and stronger habit, if
that is possible.
Frank E. Rue, of Peoria, HI., observed
that good help was the most valuable as-
set to any business. In this he said he
was most fortunate, and that he gave
credit for good service rendered. An il-
lustration of versatility happened right
in his store during my visit. We were
discussing the high cost of setting eggs
for the purpose of demonstrating an in-
cubator, when the clerk excused himself
to wait on a customer. The patron fan-
cied some fruit trees, but was undecided
what to plant. That clerk's description
of the qualities of the Bigarreau cherry
was worth listening to. When he added
that it was the favorite fruit of the im-
mortal George, was it surprising that he
booked a nice order?
It is reported that the Good & Reese-
Co., of Springfield, O., suffered a heavy
loss by fire February 5.
Warren G. Matthews, of Dayton, re-
lated some of the incidents that hap-
pened when, with Mrs. Matthews, he
took a trip east last summer. ' ' We saw
much to interest and regale us," said
Mr. Matthews, "but the most interest-
ing was Grant 's tomb. The experiences
on that trip will ever live in our mem-
ories; itwas our first vacation in several
years.

The ground hog is due to make his
second appearance of the season this
week. We will agree he w;is right in his
forecast February 2 and will bid him
welcome now.
IN printing this edition of The Re-
view 9,480 pounds of paper were con-
sumed, not counting that in the colored
insert. And this is not a special edi-
tion, only a regular, all in-the-week's-
work issue. There will be a Special
Flower Show Number next week and the
Annual Easter Number the week follow-
ing, calling for nearly six tons of paper
for each edition.
Music, vaudeville, fashions and living
pictures have been "cards" at some of
the big-city flower shows during the last
few years, "cards" having a tendency
to swell gate receipts, but at this week's
St. Louis flower .show, not to be outdone
in originality by any other exhibition,
the entertainment committee proposed to
set loose thousands of butterflies and
birds in the Armory.
The houses that had gladiolus bulbs
and nursery stock on the Dutch steamer
Nieuw Amsterdam, which was recalled to
Rotterdam February 1, after having sailed
for New York, have had no word since
cable advices stated the freight was being
transhipped to a lees valuable boat. The
censorship does not permit cable informa-
tion of sailings, but it is presumed that
the boat has proceeded to England as us-
ual for the examination of its cargo,
which sometimes requires several days, and
that it will soon be reported as approach-
ing New York, Against thia. supposi-
tion, however, is the possibility thelbWit
is among the nnmere^is ones still find in
Holland rather than risk the submarines.
WHAT HAVE YOU?
When they have something to sell
they advertise in The Review and The
Review sells it for them. Then they
write like this:
As all good sayings go — here goes to The Re-
view. "Let The Review do the advertising. We
florists win do the shipping." — W. Bezdek, Cedar
Kaplds, la., February 27, 1917.
Enclosed find check for 50 cents to pay for my
little two-line ad. This is the best spent of any
50 cents I ever spent. The only way I can see
to do is to build more glass. The trade wants
good geraniums and vincas; they go at sight. —
Charles Taynor, New Carlisle, C, March 2, 1917.
When you hear a man complain of the
cost of advertising you can be pretty
certain he spends a good bit of money
elsewhere than in The Review.
WHO TALKED TO THE REPORTER?
The subjoined, under the heading of
"Flower Prices Unaffected," appeared
in the leading evening paper at Chicago
March 8, the day of the Florists' Club's
exhibition and dinner:
The flowers that bloom in the spring, tra, la,
have everything to do with the case. They are
the center of interest today at the New Morrison
hotel, where members of the Chicago Florists'
Club are gathered to admire, discuss and arrange
the coming flower styles of Easter and the suc-
ceeding seasons. As the florists, wholesale and
retail, assembled, gradually it became apparent
that neither the war nor the tariff nor the tides
in the Caribbean have affected the cost of flow-
ers. This Easter flowers will be the same as
they were last year, will cost no more than they
did before the war.
The tides of the Caribbean, or the
war, or the tariff, may not have affected
prices of flowers, but the reporter says
nothing about the higher cost of coal,
labor, glass, wrapping paper and so on,
ad infinitum.
THE COST OF BUILDING.
Growers contemplating new houses
this spring will find that the costs of
materials have made substantial ad-
vances since March, 191(i. Compara-
tive quotations for March, 1917, and
the corresponding month a year ago,
show that the increases range from
fourteen to sixty-five per cent, with an
average of thirty per cent.
The chief blow to growers will bo the
steadily upward trend in the price of
glass. This material made an advance
of fifteen per cent the first part of the
month and will undoubtedly go higher,
as practically one-half of the manufac-
turers of the country have closed down
their plants because of inability to ob-
tain fuel.
Comparative prices on eight materials
necessary to the construction of a green-
house and the percentage of advance of
each are given in the following table:

NEW YORK FEDERATION.
There will be a meeting of the New
York Federation of Horticultural Socie-
ties and Floral Clubs in the secretary's
office at the New York flower show.
Grand Central Palace, af 4' p. m., Mon-
day, March 19. The various affiliated
societies are requested to appoint dele-
gates to attend this meeting, as impor-
tant matters concerning legislation for
a horticultural building at the state fair
grounds at Syracuse are to be consid-
ered. E. A. White, Sec'y.
FLOWER BOOK WITH PILL ADS.
No greater recognition has been
given the universal home interest in
flowers and gardening than that of a
patent medicine company which is dis-
tributing throughout the country book-
lets entitle-i "Flowers for the Home."
Incorporated in the booklet, of course,
are advertisements of the medicine. A
book on floriculture was chosen because
it is certain that no other subject would
so positively insure the booklets being
retained in the home. Copies of the
booklet were recently circulated in
Coldwater, Mich., and one of them was
forwarded to The Review by D. Vogt,
of that city, with the comment: "Not
half bad for us, I should say."
PROSPERITY AND PROFIT.
This has been a season of unequaled
prosperity in the United States, but it
has been a season during which profits
have not been easy to make.
The big business, highly organized
and equipped to take advantage of its
opportunities, undoubtedly has made
more money than ever before, but the
small business, which includes most flo-
rists, has been oppressed by the high
prices of nearly everything that is used
in the business; the small business-men
are the ones who meet the keenest com-
petition and they have not been able to
advance their selling prices sufficiently
to offset the increased expenses.
In our own trade the margin of profits
is the narrowest ever known. A few
men in each branch of the business have
been able to meet the conditions and
profit by them, but the majority are not
so well off in the height of so-called
general prosperity as they were under
what might be referred to as normal
conditions.
But a fact to be faced is, not for
a long time, if ever, will the cost of
doing business return to the levels con-
sidered normal before the war.
CHICAGO.
The Market.
Shipping trade maintained its even
pace last week, at no time being note-
worthily heavy, but still coming in
steadily, keeping stock moving to a fair
degree. City trade lulled through the
week, but toward March 10 seemed to
feel a little impetus and March 12 busi-
ness was fairly active. There has been
a general shortening of stock in almost
all lines, but the supply still is more
than ample to meet the demand and
prices remain about the same as the
week previous.
American Beauties are maintaining
their enviable position of unshaken
strength. The supply remains about the
same and prices hold up so strongly that
eastern Beauties are being imported in
small quantity. Other varieties of roses
are fairly easy, with the supply a little
shorter and a demand augmented by a
stiffening of the carnation market. Al-
though roses appeared to move well dur-
ing the entire week, the market seemed
to be lacking in vigor until the after-
noon of March 9, when a change set in
and demand became more active. This
was due, probably, to the carnation mar-
ket, which began to shorten at the end
of the week. White varieties, espe-
cially, became scarce and growers wjre
evidently holding back for St. Patri«i's
day. On the whole, white, deep colored

The Bright Colored
Freesias are Fine
HE Retailers who use our Rainbow Freesias (so
called because of the many bright colors) find
them a splendid seller. They are a hit in cor-
sages, for table centerpieces and in basket work.
Bright, fragrant, a wonderful keeper and new to a majority
of flower buyers. Our crop at present is the finest qual-
ity yet, and the cut will continue until after Easter.
RUSSELL and ROSES
Our RusseDs are in a class by themselves, but for that matter
our Ophelia, White Killarney, Killarney Brilliant, Mrs. Ward and
Sunburst are recognized as without superiors anywhere in this coun-
try. Our "select" grade is as good as most houses oifer as "specials.""
VIOLETS
Note the low prices we now
can quote.
SWEET PEAS
Your customers will like our
Spencer Peas.
EASTER LILIES
You can please your customers and make a good profit for

CARNATIONS
You will find here the largest supply of strictly fancy Car-
nations in the west. All colors and the best varieties.
GREENS OF ALL KINDS
Greens are scarce, but we have moderate supplies of even
the scarcest kinds and can keep our customers going. Our
Ferns are the best in country and we still sell at $3.00 per 1000.

and red carnations have been selling
well, while Enchantress was slow and
splits practically dead.
The receipts of bulbous stock have
shortened somewhat, but there is still an
oversupply. The situation is, however,
decidedly better than the week previous.
Tulips drag heavily, Darwins appearing
to be the only class that move at all
briskly. Jonquils sell slowly, but are
a liltle better off than they have been.
Poeticus is in fair supply and sells well.
The supply of southern jonquils and
poeticus is beginning to arrive. Free-
sias are dragging heavily, while Paper
Whites, a few of which still linger, are
practically dead.
There has been no change in the
valley situation. Easter lilies and callas
are in fair supply, with a steady, though
not large demand. A large cut of short
lilies is diflBcult to move on a market
heavily supplied with good stock. Vio-
lets arrived in large quantities last week
and many were sold at sharp conces-
sions. The supply of sweet peas is nor-
mal. Last week found an abundance
on the market, but a sharp turn set in
and March 10 there was even a scarcity.
Calendulas move slowly, as do mignon-
ette. Daisies just about hold their own.
Snapdragons are in small supply, but
of good quality. The white variety
moves slowly, but colored stock sells
well.
Plumosus, though still scarce, arrives
in increasing supply. Quite a quantity

visited Chicago on an inspection trip -
March 8 to 11. March 8 they were the
guests of the Florists' Club at its dinner

It has been decided that Meyer &

once with the erection of another large
house, which will afford an increase of
twenty-five per cent in the space for
roses.

Mr. Humiston has been the company's

year and is at the St. Louis flower show
in its interest this week.
Darwin tulips have been one of Sam
Pearce 's specialties this spring and they
have proved highly successful. His sales
agent, the E. C. Amling Co., says that,
once used, the better class of retailers
find them indispensable.
The establishment of Krowka Bros.,
full of chrysanthemums in the autumn,
now is filled with lilies in course of fin-
ishing for Easter.
C. J. Michelsen, of the E. C. Amling
Co., plans a look in at the St. Louis
spring flower show the latter part of
the week.
There was a silver wedding celebra-

Give Her Flowers
and the CARNATION IDEA for Mothers Day
put In the bacteround* If you do your Part
T is not a BIG job to tell 1 ,000,000 people— ''GIVE
MOTHER FLOWERS." It only means that each indhidual
Florist must do his part and not leave it all for the other
fellow to do. United effort is all that is .necessary, and the
effort, per individual Florist, will be very little.
LOOK AT IT BROADLY— If 1,000 Florists each circulate only
1 ,000 of the above poster stamps, one million p>eople would receive the
suggestion GIVE HER FLOWERS. And this is a conservative
estimate, for individual Retail Florists are already ordering in quantities as high
as 1 5,000 — Just think of the Publicity that can be had in displaying a Beautiful
4-color Poster (same design as above stamp) in every Flower Store window
in your City.
BOOST *GIVE HER FLOWERS"— and help do away with the carnation idea.
We had orders for nearly a quarter of a million Poster Stamps — less than a week
after samples were out— one Florist Club alone, is using 1 00,000 Stamps.
ATTENTION FLORISTS CLUBS
Have a •get-to-gether" meeting and decide to Boost *GIVEHEK FLOWERS"— for Mother's
Day. Our Plan (Poster Stamps, Posters and Newspaper *Ads*) is the simplest, most practical and
least expensive ever placed before the Florist.
NOTE — We will furnish a V4. Vz o*" f^H page Newspaper Advertisement for co-operative
Mother's Day Advertising.
WRITE US FOR INFORMATION ON "CLUB PLAN" for Mother's Day. If you have
experienced difficulty in getting Florists together and if we can assist you, we'll send an experienced
man to organize a campaign, provided the size of City warrants the expense of doing so.

PHILADELPHIA.
The Market.
The advent of real spring weather,
plus a touch of March, has improved the
flower market. There is a heavy supply
of flowers arriving daily that meets a
variable, yet decidedly stronger, de-
mand. Business has resumed something
of its normal Lenten swing, on a lower
price level than the figures that pre-
vailed at the close of the season.
Carnations, roses and sweet peas are
all in heavy supply and of fine quality.
The sweet peas are superfine and the^
meet with a fairly good demand. Vio-
lets are in strong supply, but the de-
mand is disappointing. Bulbous flowers
are excessively plentiful ; they are cheap
and receive uncertain support. The Em-
peror daffodils are extraordinarily fine.
There are still some good freesias.
Easter lilies have been overabundant.
The buyers take the increased quantity
of callas fairly well. Lilac is becoming
stronger, in sympathy with the general
tone. There are .iust a few more Beau-
ties, not many. Orchids are quiet; the
early Schroederiana are arriving. Val-
ley is firm. Southern asparagus is more
plentiful. The shipping demand is
strong.

A Visit to Eiverton.
With spring opening and lots of work
that must be done, the question conies:
"Is it worth while going to see tlie rose
show in Philadelphia?" Yes, decided-
ly. Qne of the reasons why came out
in a visit to the Dreer nurseries at
Riverton this week. Mr. Eisole has
started 171 varieties of roses, many of
them novelties. They were started
naturally; that is, without any special
knowledge as to whether they would
bloom in March or in April. Of these
171 varieties, over 100 varieties prom-
ise to be in bloom next week. Some
will be extremely fine; others have only
forced moderately well. The general
average promises to be superior to last
year 's fine exhibit. .Just to show that
no pains are being spared to make the
Dreer rose garden attractive, it may be
mentioned that a long table of sod is
being gently but firmly forced into luxu-
riant verdure expressly to carpet the
rose border.
It is usual in March to find the palm
stock depleted. For example, the pop-
ular 6-inch size is often representer* by

j)lants that are not equal, even in the
grower's eyes, to those that were sent
out in the previous September. This
is natural. The demand is heavy in the
fall and early winter, while growth
after November is alow. Today the
stock of all the marketable sizes of ken-
tias appears unbroken at the Henry A.
Dreer place. House after house, through
several ranges, show niadc-up and some
single kentias in every size. The plants
are strong and healthy, of the deep
green color that delights the true florist.
The general effect of the house of ken-
tias is that of plenty; no scarcity of any
size is evident. This happy result has
been brought about largely by special
effort. The seed has germinated well —
some time back, of course. It has been
cared for faithfully, and the imported
stock arrived in unexpectedly good
shape last fall. The kentias have been
made up here with that special care that
is born of knowledge of critical market

I^st week conditions were about the
flame as those of the week previous.
Eoses clear readily, with the exception
of Killarney. Blooms of White Killar-
ney are cut so tightly in bud that no re-
tailer would have them. American
Beauties are far below the standard in
quality, so long-stemmed Hoosier
Beauty, Eussell and Shawyer roses
find a ready sale. Carnations have di-
minished in quantity and those coming
in are more quickly picked up. Sweet
peas are plentiful and are outselling vio-
lets. Bulbous stock cleans up nicely, ex-
cept hyacinths and, perhaps, Paper
Whites. Colored freesias from Mount
Clemens find a ready sale.
Various Notes.

NEW YOEK.
The Market.
Last week leaves little to add to the
cut flower market report of a week ago.
Saturday, March 10, was the best day
of the seven, and the first real life was
evident. This undoubtedly was the re-
sult of the perfect spring weather and
the reasonable prices of all kinds of
cut flowers. Shipments were large, qual-
ity of all arrivals excellent, and retail-
ers were more cheerful than for many
a day. The public seems to become ap-
preciative as prices recede, and the
street merchants are everywhere, and
active.
Few American Beauties or Iladleys
are worth 75 cents now, though this
price is asked for the selects. Short
Beauties are extremely low priced, even
selling at $1.50 per hundred. It is a
long, long way to 75 cents, and few
there are who find it. There are plenty
of roses of all kinds, and shipments
are increasing. A few of the specialties,
Ophelia, Sunburst, Double White Kil-
larney, Hoosier Beauty and Stanley,
seem to be the favorites at present,
though some of the wholesalers carry
as many as twenty-five varieties.
White carnations were strong at $3
to $4, and these held the other colors
steady. Nothing worth while sold under
$2 and the number above $3 were lim-

CLIMAX
Automatic
Quick-Acting
Dirt Bands
Our Dirt Bands are made from a
special heavy board stock and are
much superior to the flimsy, thin
paper band or pot. To those who
have been using the lock style, the
"Climax" Band will be much ap-
preciated, as there is no folding or
hooking required. A trial will con-
vince you.

Various Notes.
The one topic of general interest in
New York this week is the International
Flower Show. There will be less than
usual of the "international" about it,
as foreign exhibits will be few and far
between. Society people are taking a
deep interest in the success of the ex-
hibition, and the New York dailies were
featuring the show and its novelties iu
their Saturday and Sunday issues, the
publicity department of the exhibition
being in the same competent hands as in
1916.
I note that G. E. M. Stumpp and A.
Kottmiller have added Randall foun-
tains to their attractive window ex-
hibits.
Walter Mott is in the city making a
preliminary convass of Long Island prior
to the opening of the flower show, at
which he will have charge of the ex-
hibits of Benjamin F. Hammond, of
Beacon, N. Y.
Guttman & Raynor were featuring a
new rose March 10, a bright pink with
small buds, called Daily Mail. The
firm is realizing 20 cents each for the
best Prima Donna roj^es.
Adolph Rosens is again associated
with his father, B, Rosens, in the florists'
supply business.
Joseph Vocke, who has ben ill from
a second attack of pleuropneumonia,
was reported out of danger March 10.
Mr. "Vocke represents W. H. Siehrecht,
Sr., of Chappaqua, N. Y., at his branch
stand in the Coogan building.
F. Millang, Jr., son of Frank Millang,
and associated with his father in the
wholesale cut flower business, has been
elected chairman of the school board of
Peekskill, N. Y.
Congratulations of the trade are ten-
dered J. J. Fellouris on the occasion of
his marriage to Mrs. Taylor, widow of
Dr. Taylor, New York city.
The new pink carnation, Mackay,
greatly resembling W5,rd, is, J. K. Allen
says, the best selling carnation he han-
dles.
Miss Florence Cadieux, owner and
manager of the Cadieux Co., was for
some time floral artist for Woodrow &
Marketos. The young lady is a great

The Market.
Business the last week was consid-
erably more active than that of the
previous week, and stock has been
cleaned up wonderfully well almost
every day. Funeral work has been the
chief item during the last few days,
and a large quantity of stock has been
moved.' Blooming plants now are com-
ing in fast and include wonderfully good
rhododendrons, azaleas, cyclamens, ge-
nistas, lilacs, deutzias and a mammoth
display of bulbous stock. The shortage
of Asparagus plumosus and Sprengeri
handicaps the trade considerably. Only
a limited quantity reaches the whole-
sale houses two or three times weekly.
The supply of cut flowers is meeting
all demands. The receipts of roses are
large and prices are easier. Fine blooms
are seen in Hadley, Montrose, Sunburst,
Ward, Russell, Maryland and Killarney.
The shorter grades are not excessively
plentiful. Both Easter lilies and callas
are plentiful and sell well. Valley is
in fine condition but moves none too
fast. The call for orchids and gardenias
has been small of late. Carnations are
plentiful and the quality continues to
be especially good. Jonquils are nu-
merous and sell well. Violets sold
quickly for the week end. Sweet peas are
abundant and move easily. Calendulas,
myosotis, narcissi and freesias are use-
ful for basket work, of which there has
been much. Tulips in all colors sell
freely. Pussy willows appear to be more
popular than ever this year.
Various Notes.
A meeting of the retail florists was
held at the store of Salter Bros., East
Main street, March 7. They expect to
make a report at the next monthly meet-
ing of the Rochester Florists' Associa-
tion.
Frank McLuis made a trip to Hornell
last week. He reports good business.
H. B. Stringer has returned to his post
again, following an attack of the grip
and tonsillitis.
Earl Schmitt, of George B. Hart's, had
the misfortune to fall on the icy side-
walk on Main street and sprain his
atokle. He is able tb walk aroufd with
the aid of a cane.

Cecil Lester is on a business trip in
the interest of George B. Hart. He is
covering the southern and western part
of the state.
H. Kurth, of Eeed & Keller, New
York, had a good display of seasonable
novelties at the Kochester hotel this
week. He reports good business on this
trip. Herbert A. Hecht, of Wertheimer
Bros., New York, was also a visitor.
Salter Bros, have a wonderfully good
display of various colored cyclamens in
their window. The other window this
week was prettily arranged with bas-
kets, vases and bowls of bulbous flowers.
The greenhouse stock of Hugo Teute
is at its best. His Easter plants are
coming along in fine condition and his
late azaleas are showing a good quan-
tity of buds.
S. T. Fletcher, vice-president and sales
manager of the Peters & Reed Pottery
Co., was in town this week with a dis-

The Market.
Business continues decidedly dull.
Supplies are heavy and the demand not
at all vigorous. Prices average a little
lower than those of a week ago. Whole-
salers feel that the worst of the slump
is over and that from now on conditions
will improve. If the prices of necessi-
ties show a shargjificline, it undoubtedly
will help the cut flower trade. Many
who have been in the habit of purchas-
ing a few flowers weekly have been
obliged to use the money for more vital
needs.
Eoses are decidedly weak. Large lots
are cleared to the fakers at $10 per thou-
sand, and these are not all short-
stemmed stock by any means. Varieties
selling well are Sunburst, Ophelia, Fran-
cis Scott Key, Double White Killarney,
Maryland, Hadley and Russell. Flowers
have to be of fancy quality now to make
$15 per hundred. Carnations hold up
fairly well, and as some growers are get-
ting ofi' crop, prices are unlikely to go
any lower.
Violets average 50 cents per hundred
and are abundant. Sweet peas are ar-
riving in great volume and have a wide
range of prices. Bulbous flowers are in
excessively large supply and sell
cheaply. Narcissus poetaz Elvira is a
good seller. Scarlet and white tulips,
double daffodils and hyacinths are hard
subjects to sell. Lilium longiflorum is
not overabundant and cleans up nicely.
Small lots of L. speciosum are seen.
Valley sells poorly; a great proportion
of it is of inferior quality. Yellow
marguerites are coming in more freely,
but sell well. Bachelor's buttons are in
disfavor and hard to clean up at quite
low prices. Pansies are abundant; so
are English primroses and anemones.
Cattleyas are in fair demand, but gar-
denias sell poorly. Green stock has a
moderate call. Pot plant trade is quite
good.

ing in fine pink orchid, white orchid and
other Spencer peas, in addition to good
callas and caleudulas.
R. E. Wadsworth & Co., of Northboro,
grow the Godfrey calla to perfection,
and it proves wonderfully prolific with
them. Carnations are their great spe-
cialty. Matchless is the only white
grown and Pink Delight fills the bill as
a light pink. Mrs. Akehurst is well
liked. No variety here does better than
Benora. Many plants have already pro-
duced thirteen flowers each and burst
ones are quite rare.
The Welch Bros Co., in spite of the
prevailing glut of flowers, is doing a
large business. It is receiving a fine line
of all the leading flowers.
The Budlong Rose Co. is receiving an
average of 7,000 flowers daily. Specially
fine is Maryland. This variety has sold
well this season, as well as Francis Scott
Key, Ophelia, Stanley and Double White
Killarney. Of the newer roses Mrs.
W. R. Hearst and Montrose are doing
well.
•John A. Nelson, of Framingham, ar-
rived home from his Florida trip March
.1 while we were experiencing a bliz-
zard— quite a contrast to conditions he
had left in Florida. He had an en.ioy-
able trip and returned much improved
in health. Mr. Nelson was pleased to
learn that two of his vase-s of carnations
at Indianapolis were among the five se-
lected for the best keeping flowers at
the late convention there.
II. W. Vose, of Hyde Park, grows
Dutch bulbous flowers of fine quality.
Among those he now has are Sir Watkin,
ornatus, rugulosus, Golden Spur. Em-
peror and Golden Spur narcissi, and a
fine assortment of tulips.
Alexander Montgomery, for many
years the able and )topular manager of
the Waban Rose Conservatories, at
Natick, will sever his connection with
that well known firm in a few months.

The quality of the roses grown at
Natick by Mr. Montgomery is known
over the entire country, while some of,
his novelties have been shipped to
London for exhibition purposes. Such
noted roses as White Killarney, Mrs.
Charles Eussell, Hadley and Mrs.
Bayard Thayer originated here.
At the April meeting of the Garden-
ers' and Florists' Club George N.
Barrie will give a stereopticon lecture
on "Artificial Irrigation." For the
field day at Waverley March 24, as
guests of the W. W. Edgar Co., visitors
are asked to reach Waverley not later
than 2:30 p. m. Cambridge tunnel trains
can be taken at South station, under
Summer street or Park street, trans-
ferring at Harvard square to Waverley
cars. The stock of 'Easter plants is in
exceptionally fine condition.
Prof. E. A. White, of Cornell Univer-
sity, who preceded Prof. A. H. Nehrling
at Amherst, has been strongly urged to
return to Amherst. While he favored
coming back in many ways, he has fin-
ally decided to remain at Cornell, where
his work has been much commended.
Massachusetts would have been glad to
welcome Professor White back again.
N. F. Comley, of Burlington, is having
good success with roses this season.

A. WEAVER] Florist in Rotary
Double White Killarney and Ophelia are
particularly good. He has a fine crop
of sweet peas, carnations and violets,
and good lily of the valley.
The Florists' Bowling League pre-
miums are on exhibition at Penn's this
week. A garden of baby rambler roses
has been attractive. Wistarias, lilacs,
Darwin tulips, azialeas and a fine assort-
ment of other plants meet with a heavy
sale.
There is a marked decline here in the
culture of shamrocks in pots, compared
with a few years ago. There is a fair
demand for them this week and white
carnations for dyeing purposes are a lit-
tle stiffer in price.
R. & J. Farquhar & Co. report that
seed orders, in spite of the continued
wintry weather, have come in earlier
than usual this season and in large vol-
ume. While counter trade is not spe-
cially heavy, mail orders greatly exceed
those of other vears.
At Horticultural hall, March 10, M. L.
Urann gave an illustrated lecture on
"Cranberry Culture." March 17 Prof.
F. C. Sears, of Amherst, will give an
illustrated lecture on "Orcharding in
the South and West." There will be
no lecture March 24, as the spring flower
show will be in progress.
Mann Bros., of Randolph, are our larg-
est local bulb specialists and they now
have a large assortment on their stands.
Snapdragons, marguerites, speciosum
lilies, callas and many other flowers are
also to be found here.
F. W. Fletcher, of Auburndale, is back
from a winter spent in Florida. The se-
vere freeze hurt Mr. Fletcher's outdoor
plantings badly.
N. S. Seavey, of Dover, N. H., is a
good grower of carnations and also pro-
duces some fine seedlings. The writer
received a fine box of these last week.
They included a fine variegated one and
a pure white one; also an excellent crim-
son and scarlet, in addition to several
other colors. New Hampshire can cer-
tainly produce fine carnations, on splen-
did stems.
Anyone wanting to see yellow mar-
guerites well done should visit James

The Market.
All the florists of this section agree
that, owing to the more pleasant
weather, business has been exceedingly
good during the last week. It has kept
them busy filling orders of great vari-
ety. In the last few months the greatest
demand was for funeral work, but now
we have calls for wedding flowers, boxes,
table decorations and all other forms of
floral embellishments. Along with the
spring weather came a heavy demand
for violets, sweet peas and other flowers
for corsage work. The crop of rosea
and carnations is increasing with leaps
and bounds, but as yet we hear no
complaints of these flowers going to
waste. With the exception of a few
red, carnations are proving to be one
of the most steady sellers. The deep
crimson, which is grown in limited quan-
tities by several of the growers, is never
popular in this locality. This is con-
trary to the taste in the far west, where
whole houses are devoted to such va-
rieties as Pocahontas and Princess
Dagmar. The above is also applicable
to yellow and variegated flowers. There
is but a scant supply of freesias, and
being near the end of the successful
crop, they are of poor quality. Daffo-
dils, hyacinths, tulips and narcissi are
in heavy supply now, both as cut flow-
ers and plants, but outside flowers of
this type will soon be competing with
these, if the present weather continues.
Already buds are in view in protected
places. Those men in the trade who
maintain landscape departments are get-
ting some extra work these days, as
the people of Louisville are beginning
to realize the necessity of beautifying
the grounds around their homes as well
as the interiors. During the last fall,
large orders of evergreens were planted
and almost exhausted the stock of sev-
eral of the landscape men here. The
spring customers are turning largely to

Various Notes.
Gentlemen, arise and drink a toast
to a successful voyage through the
stormy sea of married life. Milton
slipped one over on us when he jour-
neyed quietly to Frankfort and took
unto himself a wife, the young lady be-
ing Miss Nora Hamilton. The wedding
took place at the bride's home March 10.
The meeting of the Kentucky Society
of Florists, held March 7, was success-
ful. The address by David Walker
called forth favorable comment.
We welcome into the trade the new
firm of Brady & Bryant, who intend
building a range on the north side this
spring. Louis Bryant, who has been
connected with Anders Rasmussen for
a number of years in the capacity of
sales manager, severed his connection
with this company with the intention of
building a business of his own.
Among the callers the last week was
S. A. Eldridge, representing the Pitts-
burgh Plate Glass Co.
Notwithstanding the high cost of all
materials, there will be considerable
building activity in the trade this sea-
son. The Alfred Struck Co. reports it
will furnish lumber for a number of
houses for several of the growers.
We are glad to see H. G. Walker,
president of F. Walker Co., back at
business again. Mr. Walker has been
suflPering for several weeks with an at-
tack of the grip.
The writer wishes to thank August
Baumer, W. L. Korb and Dave Walker
for aid given in getting together mate-
rial for this letter. G. G. W.

The Market.
Higher toiiiperatures have brought in
stock in large quantities. Koses are com-
ing in heavily, especially Mrs. George
Shawyer, which is of excellent quality.
Killarney and Killarney Queen are also
producing finely at present. The local
demand for roses is splendid and ship-
ping orders are above the average.
American Beauty roses are not so plenti-
ful, but the demand for them is light.
Carnations are more than ordinarily
plentiful and the demand holds up well.
Bulbous stock is in large supply.
Sweet peas are exceptionally abun-
-dant, but the demand is excellent. Tu-
lips, narcissi, jonquils, Paper Whites,
daffodils, freesias and all other bulbous
stock is in fine demand, especially in
pots. Orchids are on the short side at
present and the demand is light. Valley
is as scarce as it has been all winter.
Easter lilies and callas are plentiful and
meet with a good call for funeral work.
Violets are plentiful and the demand is
fairly good. Calendulas are gaining in
popularity on account of their highly
decorative qualities. Stevia, mignonette,

forget-me-nots, primulas and daisies
make up the list.
The activity has been in fnneral work
for the most part, though flowers for
the sick have been in good demand.
There are fewer social functions during
the Lenten season.
Potted plants meet with a ready sale,
including some handsome Dorothj* Per-
kins, cinerarias, azaleas, rhododendrons,
lilacs, primroses and all kinds of bulbous
stock. Green goods are scarce at pres-
ent. The St. Patrick 's day demand is
expected to be good this year, and
retailers are displaying novelties, sham-
rocks and green carnations.
Various Notes.
The Flick Floral Co. store is being re-
decorated, the color scheme being ivory.
An artistic screen separates the front
part of the store from tlie workroom.

this part of the country.
WenninghoflF, the Florist, had an un-
usually attractive window decoration
last week of Ophelia roses and bulbous
stock. Funeral orders have been many.
The Doswell Floral Co. had a fine dis-
play of spring stock last week. Decora-
tive work has been light since the Len-
ten season set in, but the demand for
funeral work more than offsets this.
Visitors last week were .T. E. Qual-

Chicago; Orlando F. Batalia, manager
of the fountain department of the same
company; I. M. Bayersdorfer, represent-
ing H. Bayersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia.

The G. B. McVay & Son Seed Co.,
Birmingham, Ala., plans to become a fac-
tor in the flower seed business in the
United States.
Lily bulbs will cost more in Japan this
season than last and the freight will be
higher, which leads to the supposition that
those who are cutting prices for fall de-
livery in the United States have some
other motive than profits.
The southeastern United States pro-
duces great quantities of tuberoses, can-
nas and caladiums and an .important
quantity of amaryllis bulbs, with a pros-
pect that soon narcissus and freesia bulbs
from that section will have to be reck-
oned with.
The Dutch bulb travelers admit busi-
ness is bad. The necessity of getting
higher prices than last year at a time
when bulbous flowers are extremely
cheap in all markets is not so bad in its
effect on business, they say, as is the un-
certainty regarding the shipment of the
bulbs.
Carload orders for all varieties of
peas are still coming in increasing num-
bers, according to .T. C. Leonard, of the
Leonard Seed Co., Chicago. This is ex-
ceptional for this season of the year.

HELPING ONE'S COMPETITOE.
"It has dawned on the progressive
merchant," said a speaker at the recent
meeting of the Canners' Association,
"that in no other way can he advance
his interests more than by advancing
the interests of his competitors. It
sounds paradoxical, but it is literally
true.
"It is not so long ago — many of us
can remember the time distinctly
— when it would have been considered
suicidal for any merchant to have given
his competitor the benefit of informa-
tion he had obtained by the outlay of
time and money. But what a change
has taken place! Men have since come

|HERE are a lot of folks who send for our catalog
solely to " see what is new."
Not only see, but buy.
It is something to have earned the reputation we have for
each year introducing such a large number of distinctly new
or greatly improved things of entire dependableness.
Sometimes you Americans accuse us Britishers of being a
bit slow. Perhaps we are. But it has its advantages,
especially when it comes to the seed business. Going at
things slowly gives us time to test surely.
It's one of the big reasons why Sutton's Seeds are so
successful.
Our catalog is so elaborate and expensive to produce that
you will readily appreciate why we make a small charge
of 35c for a copy, but this is promptly refunded when
your orders amount to $5 or more.

reasonable endeavors to minimize his
damage, it is uniformly decided by the
courts that where a contract buyer of
goods is able to obtain similar goods
elsewhere on the seller's breach, the
seller's liability is limited to the excess
of what the buyer is required to pay
elsewhere above the amount at which
the defaulting seller agreed to sell. So,
ordinarily, a buyer of seed, being able
to purchase the contract quantity else-
where, may not hold the seller, who has
broken his contract to deliver, for larger
damages than the increased cost of ob-
taining the necessary seed.
Wholesaler Also Liable.
The same principle applies between
wholesale dealers and retail seedsmen.
That is, it seems that if a wholesale
seedsman 's failure to make agreed de-
liveries to the retailer deprives the lat-
ter of all means of providing seed of
the contract kind for his trade, the
wholesale merchant is liable for profits
shown by the retailer to have been lost,
to a reasonable certainty. The liabil-
ity is not limited to the difference be-
tween the market value of the seed and
the lower price at which it was agreed
that the wholesaler would sell, the meas-
ure of damages applicable if the retail
seedsman could purchase substitute
goods elsewhere.

Burpee's Seeds Grow
New
Aster
American Beauty
MERICAN grown Aster seed is
now acknowledged to be so
vastly superior to European grown
seed that there is no reason why
European grown seed should be at
all considered. Even in the
Early Queen of the Market
type, American grown seed
has been found superior to
European. The Royal and
Crego types closely follow
Queen of the Market, and
these are followed by the
Late Branching types.
Burpee's New American
Beauty Aster is in type of
growth and form of flower
similar to the Late Branching, but
differs in that all the large blos-
soms are produced on much longer
and heavier stems. In some in-
stances stems measure more than two feet
in length. It has the longest blooming
period of any Aster that we know of. The
large double flowers are of a bright car-
mine-rose, almost identical with the World's Fatuous American
Beauty Rose. Mr. Fred Howard, of Howard & Smith, Los Angeles,
Cal., writes March 29, 1916, in reference to American Beauty Aster:
"It is, in my opinion, one of the most remarkable Asters which has come under my notice. The
plants attain a height of some four feet and the flowers are borne singly at the ends of stems
which attain a length of thirty to thirty-six inches. The most remarkable feature to be noted regarding
this Aster is the length of time which it remains in flower. The plants at our nursery came into bloom
during the month of July and we were still cutting from them late in September. It is unlikely that they
would come into bloom so early under Eastern conditions, but if they come in later I have no doubt the
season during which they flower would be equivalent. The stems are absolutely non-lateral branching. -
The flowers attain an enormous size, owing to the fact that the entire sap flow is diverted to the one
terminal bud or flower. The color is a distinct shade of carmine-rose. The addition of new colors to this
new type of Asters will, in my opinion, prove to be a strain of great merit."
Burpee's American Beauty Aster is illustrated in color on the front cover of Burpee's Annual for
1917, and now that we have harvested a little more seed than was estimated we have decided to off"er it
to the Florist trade. This superb Aster should have a place in every Aster field. It will certainly
prove its superior merit.

The Florists' Review
Mapch 15. 1917.
ing a mortgage on the prospective crop
as security. It appears that the mer-
chant refused to extend the agreed
credit and that shortage of cash re-
quired the farmer to discharge his em-
ployees and use his funds to buy pro-
visions elsewhere, resulting in loss of
use of part of the land rented by the
farmer. If, as the court finds in this
case, the merchant was bound to fore-
see that his breach of contract would
have such remote consequences, within
the rule of law that a breach of contract
renders one liable for all damages which
were within the contemplation of the
parties, there seems to be no escape from
a conclusion that a retail seedsman who
agrees to furnish seed for a crop — seed
wliich the customer is unable to obtain
elsewhere — renders himself liable for
loss of a crop directly occasioned by his
refusal to make the agreed delivery.
S.
"FEOM ANY OTHEB SOUBCE."
When a man gets a delivery of forty
per cent on his contract order and then
finds the grower selling the same variety
on the spot market for two or three
times contract price he sometimes jumps
to a wrong conclusion. For this reason a
British wholesale grower features the
following in his list:
Any orders accepted by us for seeds to be grown
on contract are subject to the foUowinj contract
conditions; that is to say:
(a) We shall plant or cause to be planted (sub-
ject to hindrance from weather and other circum-
stances, in which case earliest possible notifica-
tion would be made), areas sufficient to provide
under ordinary crop conditions for such orders,
after allowing for the stock seed planted.
(b) The crop, after replacing the stock seed,
will be applied in carrying out the orders, if the
crop is sufficient, in full; if insufficient, in pro-
portion to the amounts of the orders.
(c) The purchasers look to the particular crop
of this particular area or acreage alone, and in
the case of insufflclency of the crop for any rea-
son, we shall not be liable to carry out any order
FROM ANY OTHER SOURCE.
Thus the grower might make a forty
per cent delivery on contract and from
an acreage planted for his own account
he might have forty or some other per-
centage of a crop that he would be mor-
ally as well as legally free to sell to any-
one who would pay his price.
IT'S A PUZZLE TO CANNEBS.
According to a canning trade's au-
thority, it takes something more than
a good guesser to anticipate the coming
season, for some, of the conditions are
such that logical 'processes of reasoning
go astray as often as they may go
straight.
Judging from the fact that canned
tomatoes are worth as spots virtually
double what they were when they came
in last September, it would seem as
though packers would be safe in con-
tracting for about all the acreage they
can get this year and that, considering
the prices paid last year during the
packing season, farmers would be will-
ing to book up all the acreage the can-
ners will sign for.
As a matter of fact, however, reports
indicate a state of great uncertainty in
the growing country, with farmers un-
willing to contract for acreage except
at phenomenal prices and canners less
unwilling than unable to secure plant-
ings against the large pack they feel
sure will be in demand. One Maryland
observer declares that not five per cent
of the necessary acreage has as yet been
contracted for, because the farmers are
crazy to raise potatoes, cabbages and
such crops as have brought the sensa-

tional prices in the market this year.
Yet, in the same mail comes a letter
from an equally large factor, located in
Delaware, stating that in his almost
forty years of canning he has never seen
prices so high.
It all seems to depend on the uncer-
tainty of labor. Last summer thousands
of acres of tomatoes rotted on the vines
because help could not be had to pick
them. Farmers fear that if they con-
tract now, they will find, when the crop
is ripening fastest, that help cannot be
had; especially if Uncle Sam should be
drawn into the war and stait^ to raise
an army of, say, a million men. If some
one would discover a way to harvest
crops without help the part of the h. c. 1.
due to farm crops would be largely elim-
inated,

about the selection of trees and slinibs with
reference to size and decorative qualities. Be-

right book for those wlio want sometliing definite
in this line or wlio want to decide what they
want. Many mixtures of lawn grass seeds also
are offered, under such names as "Shady Nook,"
"Sunny South," "Tough Turf," "Terrace Sod,"
etc., and three pages are devoted to describing
"the Henderson system of lawn mJiking." "Hen-
derson's Farmers' Manual" also has been received,

Everette H. Peacock Co., Chicago, 111. — An
illustrated wholesale catalogue of "Peacock
Hrand" seeds, "a price list strictly for market
gardeners"; forty-eight pages. The greatest
space and prominence are given to vegetable and
farm seeds, and the brief list of flower seeds
"does not comprise the entire stock." In addi-
tion to seeds, the book offers nursery stock,
perennials, tools and sundries. "Owing to the
variations in legal weights and measures as
adopted by the different states of the Union."

which this company is noted. On page 1 is this
notice: "We have refrained from quoting prices
in several instances. Our customers may fully
rely on our treating them as liberally as possible
in such cases, but it is impossible under present
conditions to fix values at the time of going to
press." As might be expected, seed potatoes are
among the items that are not priced, though
lirobably not quite "without price" or "priceless"
in a common sense of those words, as the prices,
says the book, will be quoted on application.

LOS ANGELES.
The Market.
Stock in some lines has been more
plentiful, carnations coming in far more
freely. Good field-grown flowers have
sold fairly well, but it has not been a
clean-up by any moans. Indoor roses
have also been more plentiful, but so
far no surplus has been noted anywhere.
Daffodils and other spring flowers are at
their best and, the cool weather having
brought them along slowly, there so far
has been no great surplus of good stock.
As usual, there is a quantity of second-
grade flowers that do not find a market
except in the doorway and street stands.
In small flowers, cornflowers and
marigolds have been especially good sell-
ers this season, cleaning up well almost
daily. An order for several thousand
bunches of violets for one of the big
stores — souvenirs to customers — made a
hole in the supply for one day, but other-
wise violets have been slow to sell. A
great many of the flowers coming in lack
fragrance, being of the larger, coarser
varieties, and this hinders business in
this favorite corsage bloom. Outdoor
Cecile Brunncr roses are beginning to
come in, but slowly so far, and it will
be another week or ten days before the
full crop is on. A scarcity of good
sweet peas has been felt, the outdoor
stock in many cases remaining tight
and drop])ing before opening. Orchids
and valley are still scarce. In pot plants
ferns, azaleas, rhododendrons and hya-
cinths have been the best sellers.
Greens are in good demand and in plenti-
ful supply, with the exception of plu-
mosus, which is still poor and scarce.
Several good wedding orders have
cleaned up a great deal of the peach,
acacia and other blossoms, these being
fino for single-day decorations. Funeral
work lias been a little below tlie usual
average.
Various Notes.
Manager Fred Sperry, of the L. A.
Floral Co., took a flying trip to Santa
Barbara this week to try out the new
roads in Ventura county and, incident-
ally, to do a little Imsiness. Large ship-
ments of everything in season continue
to be sent out from the store.
E. W. ]\[cLellan reache<l tliis city
early in the week and is making a tour
of the retailers and growers.
Wright's Flower Shop had the docorn-
tions for the opening of two large new
banks this week. A large quantity of
flowers of all kinds was called for, in-
cluding 200 baskets of spring flowers and
a large batch of spring blossoms. Tlie
decorations were in every way satisfac-
tory.
0. C. Saake says business is good.
His windows are good. Baskets of
ranunculi, long-stemmed and of beauti-
fully clear bright colors, are among the
attractions.
M. Teifolossy has acquired the stoic
at 31GA South Broadway, and is run-
ning it as a retail cut flower store and
as a depot for his prepared flowers and
foliage. Mr. Teifolossy was formerly
with the Eosslyn Flower Shop, which
since then has been discontinued.
Darling's "Flower Shop continues to
be the talk of the town, the lighting and
other effects drawing big crowds. For-
tunately, the florists' end of the busi-
ness is not forgotten in striving for ef-
fect, as excellent stock in all lines is
shown and business is reported far
above the average for this season.
Eeginald Overstreet, who has been
with L. H. Freeman for about one year,
and previously was with Darling's, has
joined the J. W. Wolters force, presum-
ably to fill the place vacated by F. Dos
tal. Mr. Overstreet is a young man
much liked in the trade, and everyone
will wish him the best of success in his
new sphere of action.
The Germain Seed & Plant Co. has dis-
continued one of its nurseries and i*?
advertising^ the stock for sale locally.
Judging by the crowds in the store and
nursery sales yards, the publicity is
working well. The excellent windows
maintained by this old-established firm
also prove excellent drawing cards.
W. Armacost & Co. are sending in
some of the finest Prima Donna roses
ever seen in this market. They are
grand in color, with elegant, long, stiff
stems. The Easter lilies being shipped
from this firm are of the finest grade.
The brothers Dailledouze, Paul and
Eugene, of Brooklyn, N. Y., are in the
city this week, having returned from
their trip to Hawaii.
At the regular meeting of the Los
Angeles County Horticultural Society,
held March 7 in the Times building, Dr.
Low showed some interesting photo-
graphs in color representing native
trees, flora and scenery. The lecture
accompanying the exhibit was greatly
enjoyed by the large audience, and the
meeting was so protracted that there

THE HOME OF ASTERS
' The men who know from experi-
ence the value of good aster seed
and where to buy it, are not neg-
lecting their opportunity to supply
themselves with this stock.
A dollar invested in good seed
goes farther toward insuring profit-
able returns tu the planter than
anything you can do, and a large
majority |of our customers i have
increased their orders over last
year so as to supply their increas-
ing demand for good quality asters.
To avoid disappointment, please
take notice when ordering that
owing to the very unexpected in-
crease in demand, our stock of seed
is all sold except a limited quan-
tity of the following .'varieties and

The Market.
Business is seasonably good, accord-
ing to reports at various retail stores
and at wholesale establishments as well.
Little change has occurred in the stock
situation since the week previous, with
the exception that flowers generally are
more abundant. This applies especially
to roses and daflfodils. The rose offer-
ings are now of superb quality and are
coming in more freely from various
growers, all of whom seemed to be off
crop at tlie same time. Hadley is par-
ticularly fine. This rose is rapidly gain-
ing in popularity here and brings a good
price. The cut of yellow roses is heavy
and Bussell is sufficiently plentiful to
meet all requirements. The few days of
warm weather have affected the violets
a little, but not enough to cause much

gradually increasing, but there is no im-
mediate prospect of a glut. Easter lilies,
though not in extra heavy supply, arrive
in ample quantities to meet the demand.
No callas are to be seen. Bulbous stock
constitutes a large portion of the ar-
rivals, abundant offerings of daffodils,
narcissi, tulips, hyacinths and freesias
selling well and cleaning up closely, thus
far without much recession in price.
The stems of the tulips and hyacinths
are longer and the blooms improved,
which makes toward a more spirited
demand. Freesias are having a long run
of popularity. They have commanded
about the same price since early in Jan-
uary, notwithstanding the heavier ar-
rivals of other flowers of a competitive
nature. Snapdragons are offered more
freely, and the supply is easily disposed
of. Anemones show excellent quality,
and they are well received. Flowering
plants hold a strong position. Nice pink
rhododendrons are beginning to appear,
and the cyclamens, primroses and aza-
leas maintain a high average. Azalea
Indica is particularly fine. More orchids
could be used at some of the stores.
Plumosus is still scarce.
Various Notes.
The regular meeting of the Pacific
Coast Horticultural Society was called
to order on the evening of March 3, but
it was adjourned immediately out of re-
spect to Henry Maier, one of the most
active and loyal members, whose wife
met an untimely death as the result of
mistaking toadstools for mushrooms.
Daniel MacRorie, of MacEorie & Mc-
Laren, has left for the east to attend
a meeting of the directors of the S. A. F.
and to look after business for his house.
This firm has been awarded the contract
for the decoration for the outside play
to be given at the home of Mrs. Temple-
ton Crocker on April 20. The principal
feature will be a bower, which will re-
quire several carloads of wistaria. The
order runs into four figures. Walter
Hofinghoff, of this firm, is now laying
out the grounds of the new Oak sani-
tarium at Los Gates, which comprise
forty acres of hillside land. Eight car-
loads of shrubs are being used. The
firm is getting him a new automobile for
use in landscape work, also one for Don-
ald McLaren.
Avansino Bros, report business fully
up to expectations at their comparative-
ly new, but popular, place on Geary
street.
The Misses Hannon, on Sutter street,
near Grant avenue, say the demand for
cut flowers is holding up well for the
season of the year.
The Braslan Seed Growers Co., of San
Jose, Cal., has been conducting an exten-
sive educational campaign in the inter-
ests of the sweet pea, calling attention
to the fact that as a decorative flower to
effectively hide fences, as a background
to small plants, for house decoration and
the charm of exhibiting, the sweet pea
would be difficult to replace.
Arnold Ringier, representing the W.
W. Barnard Co., of Chicago, and Frank
Pelicano, of Pelicano, Rossi & Co., spent
two or three days together at Byron
Springs in Contra Costa county the first
part of March.
Ferrari Bros, are bringing in a nice
lot of tulips and hyacinths.

The most rapturously and strikingly beautiful little
rose ever introduced. The color is absolutely new and
startling in its brilliancy— golden yellow, tipped with
clear cerise. The little buds and open flowers are ele-
gantly finished and of most perfect form. Habit of the
very best, strong and compact; freedom of bloom is
remarkable and continuous throughout the entire sea-
son. We have given it a fair and thorough trial and
have no hesitancy in offering it as the one best selling
rose you ever handled. It is a money-maker.

Business last week was normal for the
first week of March; perhaps there were
fewer calls for funeral work. The open-
ing of the opera season and several so-
cial functions helped out the trade. Cut
forget-me-nots and pansy blooms have
appeared and complete the list of sea-
sonable cut stock.
A few cyclamens are shown, but their
da.vs are nearly over. Genistas, potted
bulbous stock, cinerarias, azaleas, lilacs
and rhododendrons are shown. Sweet

The Florists' Review
March 15, 1917.
The Portland Floral Society was rep-
resented at a meeting of the clubs of
the city last week, the purpose of which
was to consider the question as to
whether a rose festival should be held
this year. The plan first talked of, that
of holding a floral display of some sort
during the convention of the National
Educational Association, about the mid-
dle of July, was abandoned, and it was
decided to hold the rose festival early
in June. Candidates for election to the
board of governors are being selected
by a nominating committee.
George Betz has opened a flower stand
on East Morrison street, near Grand
avenue. He will retail stock grown by
his sons at the Williams avenue and
Woodmere ranges. S. W. W.
SPOKANE, WASH.
The Market,
Whether or not Lent is to be held en-
tirely responsible for the falling off in
business, it is impossible to say, but that
there has been a decided relapse is be-
yond doubt. To be convinoed of this
one has but to talk with any of the re-
tailers for a few minutes. However,
Easter will bring a return of the usual
busy times and a little rest now will do
us good.
Stock, generally, is plentiful and of
good quality. Bulbous stock, carnations
and sweet peas are to be had in sufficient
quantities to meet all demands. Home-
grown roses are still scarce. The article
which is most noticeably scarce, and
which is giving retailers the most con-
cern, is greens. California plumosus has
been hard to find, and, while the price
has remained unchanged, the quantity
in a bunch is just about half the regular
bunch. Flat ferns and Oregon grape,
which usually can be gathered all win-
ter, are covered with snow in the woods
and cannot be reached. As California
greens usually are available, not much
plumosus or Sprengeri is grown in the
local greenhouses; consequently the un-
usual conditions have worked a hardship
with everyone.
Sunshine and Shade.
The name, "Sunny Old Spokane," is
good and is applicable about nine
months of the year. During December,
January and February of each year,
however, it is strictly prohibited by the
true Spokane booster. The following
table may tell why and also explain why
roses are not grown in Spokane during
the winter:

records of the government weather

Various Notes.
Bernson & Halle are planting a new
crop of sweet peas, to follow the pres-
ent crop. They have had wonderful suc-
cess with these. Commercial travelers
from the eastern, cities, commenting on
the flowers, say they have not seen their
equal oven in the Chicago markets.
H. 1j. OlssoTi has been busy packing
and shipping shamrocks and seedling
cyclamens. The seed of the first came
directly from Ireland and the cyclamen
seed from England. A lot of German
seed ordered and shipped he never re-

Affirmiu" a decree of a district court
enjoining a fruit grower from interfer-
ing with a state inspector in the work
of entering upon the grower's property
and destroying certain orange and other
citrus trees affected with citrus canker,
the Louisiana Supreme Court upholds
the validity of the statutes of Louisi-
ana, which authorize such condemna-
tion of property without compensation
to the owner. The higher court said:
"It is shown that of the defendant's
grove of perhaps 2,200 trees, exclusive
of young trees in his nursery, something
like fifty-seven per cent were infected
with citrus canker when this case was
tried, and, notwithstanding the aver-
ment of the defendant's return that he
'has applied and is still applying to his
own trees approved methods to prevent
citrus canker,' he did not take the
stand to inform the trial court what
these nictliods were or whether they
]irovcd to be worth trying; in fact, he
offered no evidence in support of either
the denials or the averments of his
return.

mologist and several inspectors of the

POLISH PRIVET
The only absolutely hardy privet known. Introduced from Poland Russia over 20 years ago by the Iowa
State College.
Now growing in every Northern State in the Union. Tested for hardiness on all the Dominion Experimental
Farms in Canada, from Nova Scotia to V^ancouver. Mr. Angus Mackey, Inspector of Farms for Western Canada, writes
from Indian Head, Sask., that the Polish Privet is quite hardy and doing well. Write for circular giving prices and
full description, with testimonials from over 50 prominent Horticulturists and Growers in both the U. S. and Canada.
What's the use of monkeying with Privet that kills back every few winters. Plant the Polish— it never winter-
kills, is a fine grower, beautiful dark green foliage throughout the season, nearly evergreen. Propagates readily.
Large stock, all grades, low prices.
Ask for Surplus List of Large Evergreens and Shade Trees. Specimen trees of N. Spruce, White Pine and
Arbor Vitae in sizes up to 12 feet. Our 30 years in the business is your guarantee. Address

ment that has been found successful
and proved successful is burning the
trees. Q. — How is this disease trans-
mitted from one tree to another? A. —
From all experiments and observations
that have been carried on, the most im-
portant factor in spreading the disease
is the nursery stock; that is, shipping
diseased stock into healthy territory.
The next most important factor is the
human agency. A man picking fruit
and working among the trees -will get
it on his hands and clothes and spread
it among the trees. Then storms are
influential, especially heavy storms, like
the September hurricane. • • * Ani-
mals of any kind, anything that goes
from tree to tree, will help to spread
the disease.'
Protection of Others the Idea.
"The attack upon the constitutional-
ity of the act under which the plaintiff
is proceeding as based upon the ground
of multifariousness of objects is with-
out merit. The act has but one object
within the meaning of the constitution,
which is to provide measures of preven-
tion and protection against fruit and
crop pests and diseases, and that object
is declared in its title. • • •
"Equally without merit is the attack
as based upon the grounds that the act
contemplates the taking of private
property without due process of law and
without compensation previously made.
The case is well within the doctrine
recognized by this court in another case,
in which it was held competent for the

orange groves in Louisiana may in the
meanwhile be destroyed by citrus
canker, the defendant should be al-

than the burning of the trees, is unten-

Hydrangea Paniculata Grandiflora
Blooms in August, September and October. Flowers,
rich creamy white, changing to pink. Immense clusters.
Absolutely hardy. No trouble to grow.
Because this Hydrangea is so unusually good for
planting along driveways, in groups among shrubbery,
center for beds, we are calling it to your particular atten-
tion. Do the same thing for your customers. Prices

The Market.
There has been practically no change
in market conditions during the last
week. Stock remains plentiful and
prices as a result are somewhat low.
First-quality stock is bringing good
prices, however, and this is quite a help
to the trade in general. The market is
in better shape, although there is still
room for much improvement. The change
yoB wf lt>.
in prices was small and all orders were
taken care of satisfactorily. Roses,
which were in exceptionally fine condi-
tion, cleaned up better toward the end
of the week, and all other stock was
moving more easily than it did the
week previous.
Everything seems to point to better
market conditions this week. The de-
mand should increase steadily from now
until Easter. Everyone is making great
preparations this year and the Easter
business should be even superior to last
year's, which was not small by any
means. The thaw which came toward
the end of last week seems to have
broken the back-bone of our coal-devour-
ing winter, and spring planting out and

Various Notes.
The wife of Walter ,T. Ilolton, em-
ployed by the Holton & Hunkel Co., un-
derwent a serious operation for intes-
tinal trouble March 7, at the Radium
hospital. While Mrs. Holton is still in
a critical condition, the doctor in charge
reports she is as well as could be ex-
pected so soon after the-operation.

Easter Plants
We have our immense stock of Easter plants now ready to ship out, and we recom-
mend the immediate placing and shipping of orders. Early-blooming plants carry
much better when they are far enough advanced in bud than those in full bloom; be-
sides, the express companies can handle the early shipments better than those shipped
during the week before Easter.
Don't delay— place your order at once with ASCHMANN BROS, and have good
stock to sell your customers this Easter. Personal selection and growing of stock has
enabled us to offer to the Trade as fine an assortment of plants as can be seen any-
where, of good commercial sizes and at the right price for good stock.

The Markets.
Trade was good last week, funeral
work being the prime factor, though
business in other lines was brisk, Roses
were of excellent quality and cleaned
up quickly, developing a shortage dur-
ing the last of the week. Lilies were in
rather short supply and bulbous stock
was in excessive supply, but selling
well. Sweet peas, violets and valley are
sufficient for present wants.
Club Meeting.
The regular meeting of the Tri-City
Florists ' Club was held at the residence
of R. E. DeRycke, at Villa Velie, Moline,
March 8. Arvid Anderson showed a fine
vase of blooms from some of his new
carnation seedlings. They were of un-
usual size and quality.
After the routine business had been
attended to, the club elected the follow-
ing officers for the ensuing year: Presi-
dent, Arvid Anderson; vice-presidents,
P. G. Pearson, Henry Gaethje, James
Hanson; recording secretary, William
Goos; financial secretary, C. J. Reardon;
treasurer, William Knees, Sr.; trustees,
R. E. DeRycke, Ludwig Stapp, Henry
Pauli.
Mr. DeRycke spoke on the city beau-
tiful and of the efforts of the Rotary
Clubs of the Tri-Cities to interest school
children in the work. A communication
from the Mothers' and Teachers' Club,
of Davenport, asking the cooperation of
the club along the same lines, was read.
On motion the subject was held for ac-
tion at the next meeting. Lunch was
served, and after extending a vote of
thanks to the host and hostess the club
adjourned. The next meeting will be
held at the residence of Henry Gaethje,
April 12. W. G.

The Market.
Business last week was dull. There
were no social functions to speak of, so
apparently the Lenten season is being
observed. The supply of Beauties as
yet has not increased and the blooms
bring good prices. Other varieties of
roses are quite abundant. Many of the
growers are paying special attention to
rose crops for Easter. Carnations are
more than plentiful. These are of good
quality, with few splits among them.
For the last two weeks there has been
a huge quantity of bulbous stock in the
market, the milder weather permitting
it to come on much faster than is de-
sired. The prices, however, still hold
up. There is an ample supply of valley,
with an easy demand. The supply of
callas and Easter lilies is more or less
erratic. Both are quite essential in fu-
neral work, which at present is a con-
solation to retailers. Some extra fine
sweet peas may be had. The best of
them are meeting with an eager demand.
Mignonette and snapdragons are excep-
tionally fine in some instances. There
is much of the short and inferior grade
that realizes little demand. Paper
Whites are on the wane. Tulips, jon-
quils and daffodils may be had in any
quantity desired. Couronne d'Or and
Murillo tulips, however, move quite
nicely.
Asparagus and adiantum have been
clinging to the scarce side. Flowering
plants are in good supply; hyacinths
lead in demand, with tulips » primroses,
cinerarias and azaleas adding variety.

Do It Now!
Go over your Rose Houses carefully and estimate the plants you need
for replatiting this Spring, and place your order. Roses are going to be
scarce. The Manetti situation is such that those who get it are fortunate, and the
demand is far greater than the limited supply. We have sold over 100.000 grafted
Roses in the last two weeks. We have 200.000 more to sell. There is considerable
building contemplated. "Changing from Carnations to Roses" is a frequent expla-
nation made when placing an order. If you are short at planting time it will be
your fault and not ours. The growing of grafted Roses is an industry in itself. At
Cromwell the large auantity of Roses grown for cut flowers makes it possible to get
scions that are first-class. We want your Rose Plant order, and we want to be able
to say "yes" to your inquiry. Estimate your requirements and write us.

Superb is a seedling of Gloriosa and Enchantress. It has the good stem of Glori-
osa and the fine growing habit of Enchantress. The color is a flesh pink and it
keeps its color at all seasons. The flowers average about three inches, are very full
and generally receive full scot« on substance. The flowers are all perfect and do
not split. In the four years we have grown it, it has proved the best commercial
variety, barring none.

fircenhonse Heating.
Subscribers are Invited to write the
Editor of this Department with regard to
anj 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 SITUATION.
Fuel still is scarce and high in price
in the east, despite the decrease in de-
mand brought about by milder weather.
Dealers assert that the demand continues
to be greater than the supply and are
prorating their output among their cus-
tomers.
The coal situation in the east h^s been
worse than in other parts of the country,
due to freight congestion consequent
upon heavy shipments to tlic seaboard
and the embargoes placed upon nearly
.all kinds of freight by many of the rail-
roads. Most of these embargoes, how-
ever, have ])een lifted and, unless the
recent snowfall is followed by other
storms, traffic will be normal before the
end of March.
The expected announcement of a de-
crease in the price of coal April 1, which
usuallv comes about March 15, has not

The heating capacity of hot water
boilers varies with the character of the
fire surface, as well as with the area
of the grate. To heat the two houses
described, a boiler with a rating of
4,000 square feet will be required. We
judge that the boiler with a grate 32x60
inches will handle at least 3,500 square
feet of radiating surface with ease, and
if that is the case it will probably an-
swer for the range in question by giv-
ing the fire a little extra attention in
severe weather.
Since the amount on hand of each
kind of pipes is not stated, we cannot
give any really definite advice as to
how these can be used to the best ad-

The Florists' Review
Mabch 15, 1917.
In addition to one 2i/A-inch flow upon
each plate, we would run another two
or three feet below the ridge and would
place the others under the purlins. Each
house will also require fifteen 2-inch
returns. Three of these should be con-
nected with each of the flow pipes.
Coils of three pipes each should be under
the side benches, with four or five re-
turns under the other benches. In case
li^-inch returns are used in the house
26x100, it will answer if four 2i/^-inch
flows and twenty returns are installed.
It will simplify matters if the flow
pipes as well as the returns are given
a slight fall, and if the expansion tank
is connected with the highest part of
the system.
ONE HOUSE NOW, ANOTHER SOON.
Please describe the correct way of
piping a greenhouse 30x154, a sketch of
which I am enclosing. I shall use a
Moninger steam boiler, placing it at the
north end of the house. There is a 3-
foot concrete wall at the sides and the
south end. The height to the ridge is
ten feet. The side walls are five feet
high, having two feet of glass above
the concrete. The house is exposed to
the winds on all sides. What size of
boiler will be needed for two houses
of these dimensions? J, K. — 111.
To heat a greenhouse 30x154, with
two feet of glass in each side wall, to
60 degrees, using low pressure steam,
we would suggest the use of about 1,000
square feet of radiation. This may be
obtained either by running a 214-inch
overhead main about three feet below
the ridge or by using three l^^-inch
flow pipes, placing one on each plate
and the other under the ridge. In addi-
tion we would use fourteen l^^-inch re-
turns, placing four under each of the
side benches or on the side walls and
the others under the middle benches.
While this will only furnish 1,000
square feet of radiation for one house,
we would prefer to have the boiler
show a rating of 2,400 square feet for
the two houses.

ROCHELLE PAPER POTS AND BANDS
Our Square Paper Pots are the Original Im-
proved DOUBLE Bottom Square Paper Pots that
we have sold for FIVE YEARS.
They have the best bottom of any pot on the
market.
They are by far the BEST POT on the market
in every way.
They are made with one tack. No glue.
By ACTUAL TEST they can be made up MORE
THAN TWICE AS FAST as a stamped out pot
can be folded, assembled and "locked."
They are made of tlie same new, tough paper
that has made our Square Paper Pots and Square
Dirt Bands FAMOUS, after FIVE YEARS' TEST
by the U. S. Government, the Canadian Govern-
ment, International Expositions, large numl)ers
of State Agricultural Experiment Stations, City
Parks, Public Institutions and many thousands
of Superintendents, Florists and Truckers in all
parts of the country and Canada.
We sell no experiments.

l-.SliouId a Dirt Band be CKEASED and the

OUR DIRT BANDS ARE CREASED. CUT AND
.SCORED BY MACHINE TO THE EXACT SHAPE
and the ENDS HELD TOGETHER.
NOT "LOCKED"
2 — Slionld ,tlie ends of Dirt Bands l)e
"LOCKED?" NO. Bi'cnuse "locking" does not
serve any purpose and is a serious detriment.
If tlie ends are "LOCKED" the band lias to be
TORN OFF when the plant is taken out.
After tlie bands are filled and watered the soil
.settles tight against the insides and they cannot
l)e unlocked.
TE.\RINr, the ends of the bands apart will
break many of the "balls" or cubes of soil.
Get a "locked" band, lock it and try tearing
it apart.
Ours arc niiidc In ST, II' .M'.XKT easily, without
tearing, to let tlii' pl;iiit oit.
Our bauds are iiiaiic of the same special, tougli
paper that has been PROVED 5 YEARS to be
perfect for the purpose.
They are the BEST Band on the market, but
also the CHEAPEST.
Mr. H. B. Weaver of Bird-In-Hand, Pa., grows
Carnations, Mignonettes, Sweet Peas and other
cut flowers. He soys of our Dirt Bands: "I
Ix'lieve any one using these bands will become a
regular customer."
(He got 5000 Dirt Bands in 1913, 60.000 in 1914.
70,000 in 1915, 50,000 in 1916 and has Just or-
dered 60,000 for 1917.)
Mr. J. M. Gager, Willlmantic, Conn., says:
"The crop from the plants raised in your Dirt
Bands PAID ME THE BEST of any crop of to-
matoes grown SINCE I HAVE BEEN IN THE
I5USINESS."
(Mr. Gager has just ordered 10,000 4-in. bands
for this year. )
Mr. Herbert W. Coulter, Avon, Mass., says:
"I am so well pleased with the Dirt Bands that
I DO NOT SEE HOW A MARKET GARDENER
CAN AFFORD TO GROW PLANTS WITHOUT
THEM."
To show the wide use of our Pots and Bands
by Government, State, City and Public Institu-
tions we might say that while we are writing
this advertisement (Feb. 17th) one mail. Just
opened, brought us orders from South Dakota
Agricultural Experiment Station, Brookings, S. D.
(tliey got 10,000 of our Paper Pots last year
and expect to use 20,000 this year) and Board
of Regents of Normal Schools, Wliitewater, Wis.,
;ind inquiries for prices from New York State
College of Agriculture at Cornell University and
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
We have probably sold 5 times as many of our
Square Paper Pots and Dirt Bands as all other
firms put together.
CAUTION
Paper Pot and Dirt Band Users Read This,
The writer has Just visited a greenhouse where
.mother kind of Dirt Bands were used beside ours.
In one kind the plants were
STUNTED
only about half the size they were in the other
kind.
.\11 the seed was of the same lot, sown at the
siime time and had the same care.
The greenhouse man said: "It must have
been the chip board."
Tlie greenhouse man had written us: "I wish
you would come down to see one thing. Those
l>ands of liave something the matter
with them.
"I set them up at the same time, sowed soed
at the same time, same kind, and they have had
same care as yours and the plants in . — soeni
to be stunted and those in yours are healthy ami
growing under same conditions.
"It must be in the chip board."
We went down and examined the plants and
found it as stated.
Five years ago we saw a statement by Professor
Massey that the chemicals in a certain kind of
paper would kill plants.
We tried it and found it so.
Three years ago we rerclvcd siiiiiplcs of Dirt
Iliiiuls from the I'licific coast made of tliis paper.
\Vf sai<l to t-.u'U otht'i-; "That man will go
out of Imsiucss."
We liave not seen liis advertisement in two
years.
Last vear a grower wrote lis that he had
bought Dirt Bands on the Pacific coast the year
before and they had killed his plants.
Last year another grower wrote us that the
plants In bands bought of , a maker of
Dirt Bands In the Bast, were stunted and not as
large or as healthy as in ours, but we did not go
to see them.
A grower about 20 miles from here had all his
roses in a large house destroyed.
He sent for a government expert and the ex-
pert reported that it was decaying paper that
was mixed with the soil that had killed the crop.
Chip board is made of ground up old news-
papers. That is the reason that all of it is
gray. All of the ink cannot be bleached out.
It may be the chemicals in the printers' ink
or some of the chemicals used in the bleaching
that kills or stunts the crop.
We knew that some kinds of paper will kill
plants, and we did not sell any Pots or Bands of
the paper that we use until we had tried it a year
ourselves.
We will not sell a man a thing that will kill
his crop.
We will not sell it to Mm until we have tried
it ourselves and KNOW IT WILL NOT KILL
HIS CROP.
If new, untried material is used It had better
be tried in a small way alongside of material
that has been used for years and has been proved
to have no injurious chemicals.
We have our paper made in the West and
know it has no injurious chemicals.
There Is no band but ours, that we know of.
but what Is made of chip board, thougli some of
them are advertised as "cardboard," "manila
board," "No. 1 manila board," etc.
Those that we know of being advertised as
cardboard are pure chip board. Those that are
advertised as manila board are chip board with
a thin skin of manila on one side.

GRAND RAPIDS, MICH.
The Market.
Plenty of sunsliine is producing a sur-
plus of carnations and sweet peas, and
it is said that some of the growers are
disposing of great l)atches of their
poorer stock to the department stores.
Bulbous stock is plentiful and good,
except tulips. Cinerarias and genistas
are abundant and of unusually good
quality. Boston ferns, especially Whit-
mani, are hard to find. Greens of all
kinds are scarce.
Various Notes.
Miss Mary llartnett has moved into
her new store.
The Wealthy Avenue Floral Co. re-
ports business good.
Eli Cross says there is no reason to
complain of poor business.
Henry Smith has been busy with fu-
neral work for several prominent fu-
nerals. A. F. C.
NEWARK, N. J.
The Market.
Last week there was a greater influx
of spring flowers than during any week
this season, some kinds which had not
appeared before being among the ar-
rivals. As a consequence prices are
most reasonable. Much potted stock is
coming in, including tulips, hyacinths,
crocuses, mountain laurel, roses, hydran-
geas and rhododendrons. Carnations
are plentiful at present. Easter lilies
are abundant, though now some of the
growers arc holding them back for
Easter sales.
Various Notes.
Fred P. Wolfinger reports business
good. There is much funeral work and
counter trade is good.
August C. Begerow has been granted
a permit to make alterations to a green-
house at 046 Broad street, the cost of
which will approximate $3,000.

The Market.
The outlook for Easter seems to be
good. Plenty of stock of all kinds will
be available, and a brisk demand is an-
ticipated.
During the last week business gener-
ally has been good. Plenty of funeral
work has kept flowers of all kinds
cleaned up.
Various Notes.
Kobert H. Woodhmiso lias been on tiie
sick list for a few days, suffering from
a severe cold.
Fred C. Covin spent a day at Boston
last week purchasing Easter stock. He
says lie intends to show "some" stock.
At the store of Ernest Chamberlain
funeral work was so plentiful last week
that he had to take on extra help.
We are glad to report that James
Garthley is back at work in his green-
houses, after an attack of rheumatism.
The Peckham Floral Co. is sending in
first-class snapdragons. Mr. Keid, the
manager, states that he will have an
excellent crop of violets for Easter.
Funeral work has been plentiful at the
establishment of Edward M. Pierce dur-
ing the last week. Some glass was brok-
en in one of the houses by the weight
of the snow that fell during the first
part of the week. W. M. P.

They are bound with heavy steel hoops for the large

on the small size. The large sizes are trimmed
with handsome drop handles and metal feet, and
hare perforated, remorable bottoms.
These Cedar Tubs are made in all sizes, from 24^

OT
GOO
Putting the Water
On the Flowers
Were you spraying the carnations
this morning?
Down the long aisle you pulled
and tugged and strained, the poor
hose twisting and flopping and kink-
ing after you.
And w^hen you had untangled the
snarls and straightened the kinks,
only a measly dribble greeted the
drooping plants and flowers.
Cracks and breaks in the hose
w^ere stealing the w^ater from them.
You can rid yourself of such annoyance
by simply installing Goodyear Wingfoot
Lawn Hose in all of your greenhouses.
Then does your morning sprinkle or
washout become a pleasant duty.
Then do cinder and concrete walks and
obstructing bench legs offer no damaging
resistance to hose so well made.
Goodyear Wingfoot Hose is, in fact,
amply fortified against greenhouse abuse.
The seamless tube is of active rubber
and braided cotton that will not become
hard and brittle, yet does not soften and
mash.
So well made is Goodyear Wingfoot
Lawn Hose that every foot of it is guaran-
teed not to burst within two whole lawn
hose seasons.
Ask your own supply dealer for further
facts concerning Goodyear Wingfoot Lawn
Hose service.

SAN FRANCISCO NOTES.
IContiniied from pasre 7:!.l
nected with the Fleischman Floral Co.,
of New York^ for seventeen years. Ar-
riving in San Francisco recently, she
took a position with the Art Floral Co.,
on Powell street, as decorator, but was
only with that concern about two months
when she left to get married, Mr. Keller-
man coming from New York. Mrs. Kel-
lerman has gone into business for her-
self because, she says, she found she
had been connected with the florists'
trade so long she could not give up her
work. Her establishment is nicely fitted
up, and she is in a good location to cater
to high-class trade.
The Terminal Florist, as David Lich
tenstein is known in the trade, is ex-
pected back at work in a week or two.
His wife reports him recuperating rap-
idly from his recent operation for appen-
dicitis. She has been busy with funeral
work.
I. N. Baldoechi, of Podcsta & Bal-
docchi, reports business holding up fair-
ly well for the Lenten season.
C. C. Mor.se & Co. have just issued
their new dahlia catalogue, listing a
wide assortment of decorative, peony-
flowered, show, collarette, poni])on and
single varieties. An offer of $1.5 first
prize and .^lO second prize is made by
the company for the best display of
dahlias at the September shows of the
California Dahlia Growers' Association
and the California Dahlia Society.
A joint meeting of the California
Dahlia Growers' Association and the
California Dahlia Society was held at
the Palace hotel on the evening of
March 5 to discuss ways and means for
bringing about an amalgamation of the
two organizations, both of which were
formed about the same time last year.
No definite action was taken, but a com-
mittee was appointed to go into the mat-
ter more thoroughly and report at an
early date. The union has been advo-
cated for some time and it is likely fa-
vorable action will result from the pres-
ent negotiations. As the situation now
stands, both organizations are ]ilanning
for a dahlia show in the fall, the Cali-
fornia Dahlia Growers' Association to
hold its exhibit at the Palace hotel and
the California Dahlia Society at the Ho-
tel St. Francis. If the associations come
together in the meantime, it is probable
only one show will be held.
Articles have been filed for the incor-
poration of the San Francisco Peninsula
Co., with a capital stock of .$2,000,000.
The announced purpose of the company
is to engage in the real estate business,
lay out town sites and establish and
maintain nurseries for the propagation
of plants and fruit trees. ti. S. G.

This photograph shows the famous Botanical Gardens, one of the permanent
buildings at the Panama-California Exposition at San Diego, California. The
eritire latticework is made of California Redwood, seledled because of its light
weight, strength, and RESISTANCE TO ROT under greenhouse conditions.
Cali&riiia Redw<
Resists rot — will not shrink, swell or warp
Contains a natural preservative, which resists wet or dr\' rot and prcvcn!> the
growth of decay-producing fungi.
Withstands the difference between inside and outside temperatures of a green-
house, even in the coldest climate.
UnafFefted by the moisture in the air or the wet earth of the benches. Docs
away with constant repairs due to decay, warping or twisting, reducing glass
breakage to a minimum. The most durable and lasting wood that can be used
f^)r benches, propagating boxes and cold frames.
Redwood does not require creosote or other preservative. It is light in weight
and easy to work.
Insist on securing California Redwood. Ycnir lumber dealer carries it in stock
or can easilv get it tor you.
We will gladly give you any advice or information that will help vou to solve
your greenhouse problems through the use of California Redwood.

KANSAS CITY, MO.
The Market.
Conditions of the inarl\et last week
improved over those of the previous
week. Stock cleaned up better than was
expected. The quality of roses and car-
nations is improving, and bulbous stock
is the finest this city has seen for a
number of years. Roses now are more
plentiful in all colors, but carnation re-
ceipts have decreased in number. Cut
bulbous stock is also shortening in sup-
ply. Lilies are more prominent, but are
only of fair quality. Sweet peas are
too plentiful in all grades.
Various Notes.
W. .T. Barnes had his usual spring
decorative work at one of the large dry
goods stores. He used a large number
of palms, ferns, rhododendrons, azaleas,
lilacs and other plants.
A. ElberfieM is building a residence
on his farm one mile west of Overland.
Later on he e.vpects to build some green-
houses.
Henry Kusik has purchased a new car,
which he will use for pleasure as well
as for business. He is receiving heavy
consignments of rubinin and Easter
lilies from the east.
Fred Fromholdt reports that funeral
work has been unusually heavy. He has
added to his force a Mr. Fisher, who
formerly was associated with the Alpha
Floral Co.
T. .T. Noll & <'o. are receiving extra
fine Rainbow freesias. They are carry-
ing a large line of baskets and florists'
supplies.
Roy Sturgeon is sending in fine butter-
fly sweet peas. His greenhouses are
filled with spring bedtling stock. Xext
year he will devote a large part of his
range to pot plants.
Arthur Newell says it is remarkable
how pot plants continue to sell so well.
He had a week of heavy funeral work,
both in and out of town.
.Tacob Hepting is cutting some prize-
winning carnations, which bring prices
above the average.
The nurserymen will have a late start
planting nut stock this spring, as the
grniind has been frozen solid.
The city department is starting to cut
a street through the TTnion cemetery
itist back of .Tames Payne's greenhouses.
The dust will make it difficult to keep
the glass clean.
The W. Ti. Rock Flower Co. is sending
a nice lot of azaleas, lilacs and bloom-
ing plants to the store. W. .T. B.

It's a pretty good idea (now that the lumber mills in the South-
ern Cypress Mfrs.' Assn. are identifying every cypress board they saw ) to
MENTION TO YOUR LUMBER DEALER, CONTRACTOR OR CARPENTER — and to ASK
YOUR ARCHITECT to SPECIFY— that YOUR Cypress must be
"TIDEWATER" CYPRESS
IDENTIFIED BY
THIS TRADE-MARK
Stamped in the End of Every Piece
or APPLIED TO EVERY BUNDLE
Trade Mark Reg. U.S. PAT.Ornct
When a manufacturer places his imprint indelibly upon his product it evidences to the consumer two
factors of value whichi together, are the sum total of all any buyer wants; these factors are integrity
of purpose and complete responsibility on the part of the maker of the desired commodity.
The above legally registered "Tidewater Cypress" trade-mark is
now YOUR INSURANCE POLICY of LUMBER QUALITY.
It appears stamped mechanically into the end of EVERY board and timber of
CYPRESS
''THE WOOD
ETERNAL."
Thoroughly dependable Cypress Flooring, Siding, Moulding and Shingles,
etc., which come in bundles, bear the same mark on EVERY BUNDLE.
The legal right to apply this epoch-making symbol of STRICT RESPONSIBILITY IN UMBER MAKING
AND selling is restricted lo those Cypress mills which, by their membership in the Southern Cypress
Manufacturers' Association, attest their devotion to its Principles of Service to the Coxsi'mkr. Only
mills cutting "Tidewater" Cypress are eligible for membership. (Cypress which grows too far inland is
not equally noted for the "Eternal," or decay-resisting, quality.) Only mills which subscribe to the
Association's standard of scrupulous care in Methods of MANUFACTURE, INTEGRITY OF GRADING
and ACCURACY OF COUNT can belong to the Association. These responsible mills the Association
now licenses to CERTIFY THEIR CYPRESS by applying the registered trade-mark with their identify-
ing number inserted.
BY THIS MARK YOU KNOW THAT IT'S CYPRESS.
"THE WOOD ETERNAL." AND WORTHY OF YOUR
FAITH. IT IS WELL TO INSIST ON SEEING THIS
TRADE-MARK ON EVERY BOARD OFFERED AS
•CYPRESS."

The'Bie Iron Frame Rose House 400 by 60 feet, with its Central Side Entrance for the ConncctinK Passage to Future Houses
The Joe Hill Range
A
CROSS the way from the rose famed range of the E. G. Hill Floral Com-
pany, with "E. G.," America's Great Rosarian, still actively at its helm,
are the houses of his son. Joe Hill.
The ridge and furrow carnation houses were originally part of the "E. G."
holdings. Last July they were bought by Joe Hill along with the Company's
Flower Shop in Cincinnati. Last year, two separate iron frame houses were
erected. A 25-foot one, mainly for propagating; and the big 60-footer, for roses.
On my desk lies one of Mr. Hill's delightfully characteristic letters. Here
is a clause from it which you will abundantly appreciate:
^^ Ophelia Herself. What a Pesral Mother of
a SurpassinKly Lovely Family She Has Been!

The 25-foot House is Only Half as Long: as the 60-footer, but Arransred as You See for its Extension.

"In this large Lord & Burnham house, there can be seen growing glorified
Ophelias. Some are the color of Mrs. Charles Russell. Others that of Sun-
burst, pink as well as double shell-pink Ophelias, white and red Ophelias. All
possessing the free-flowering characteristics of the wonderful Mother rose.
Truly here is a most alluring group of the queen of flowers.
"The house as well as the roses will justify anyone in making a long
journey to see them."
To which let us add, that no more sweeping endorsement of our house could
be made, than to acknowledge it as a fitting house for the surpassing Ophelia
family.

MINNEAPOLIS.
The Market.
Business has, on the whole, been quiet
during the last week. Although the
weather was favorable in every way, it
did not make uj) for the quietness in
social activities which Lent brings with
it and which makes itself felt consider-
ably to the florist. Stock generally was
of good quality, roses, especially Eich-
mond, Pink Killarney and White Kill-
arney, being deserving of special mem-
tion.
There was a large supply of bulbous
stock on the market, more in fact than
the demand, which was fairly strong,
called for. Stock included tulips of
some excellent varieties, jonquils, daffo-
dils and poeticus. Some excellent fancy
sweet peas are arriving and find a ready
sale.
Florists have been busy in prepara-
tion for the St. Patrick's day trade
and many are now getting ready for
Easter. At the greenhouses growers
are busy potting up geraniums, vincas
and other plants for spring planting.
Various Notes.
The Hiawatha Gardens Co. will have
about 8,000 lilies for Easter. The com-
pany's rose plants look excellent. A
large quantity of tulips and other bulb-
ous stock is also being grown.
Hans Tfosacker has no rose plants this
year, but a fine stock of lilies, hyacinths
and tulips. His roses are excellent and
he is daily cutting about 500 Richmonds,
as well as large quantities of Killarney
and White Killarney.
Max Kaiser will have 20,000 lilies for
Easter. He also has a large stock of
fine rambler roses.
The Lakewood Cemetery Greenhouses
are growing a good supply of Easter
lilies, bulbous stock and ferns.
John Lindberrv, who opened a new
greenhouse last fall, has a good supply
of bulbous stock. His lilies will be
ready for the Easter trade.
Some highly attractive window dis-
plays were to be seen in the city last
week. Swanson 's had a neat display of
spring flowers, artisticallv arranged,
and the H. B. Whitted Floral Co. had
attractive displavs at both stores.

has a reputation for being

particular.
On a rf cent call to see how
his sweet pea crop was coming

that "Hitchings have done his

and he has never had a kick."
Then he called attention to

GREENHOUSES THAT SATISFY
When you invest in a new greenhouse, you want the house that will pay you
best. You want to consider the durability, the convenience, the efficiency and
the cost of the house. Not one of these points is overlooked in our construction.
Twenty-five years' experience in greenhouse construction enables us to give the best in service, material
and workmanship; and the purchaser of Ickes-Braun construction can invest without a doubt as to
the efficiency of his house.

The Market.
A heavy snow last week retarded busi-
nes, and with large quantities of stock
arriving daily, by March 10 the whole-
sale houses were swamped with flowers
and ready for a clean-up of any kind.
The day was good and the street boys
got busy and cleaned up all the accumu-
lations. Of course, the prices will not
be satisfactory to the growers, but they
beat the returns they would have gotten
if the flowers had gone to the dump.
Really, all things considered, business
has not been bad for Lent. There is
much stock and no special demand.
Various Notes.
The Florists' Club held its meeting
March 6, and as it was ladies' night
there was quite a crowd present.
John Murchie, of Sharon, Pa., called
last week. He is tanned and strong
after six weeks of golf in southern
Florida — the youngest looking 70-year-
old boy we have seen in a long time.
John Walker, of Youngstown, O., has
notified us by postal that he is at Santa
Fe, Isle of Pines, visiting his friend,
Adam Graham.
Dr. F. Shafer has presented the
Phipps conservatory, Schenley park,
with his splendid collection of orchids,
said to be worth approximately $10,000.
The stores have been having large fu-
neral orders, and one rarely hears any
complaints about "slow Lenten busi-
ness."
John Mitchell, the East Liberty sta-
tion florist, is seriously ill with pneu-
monia.
W. A. Clarke, of the Pittsburgh Cut
Flower Co., for the first time in forty
years has been confined to bed. He is
back at his post now, however.
A. W. Smith, Jr., was confined to his
home a part of last week by a severe
cold. Clarke.

The Market.
The flower business took a most de-
cided slump during the latter part of
last week, due largely to unfavorable
weather conditions. This, with the ab-
sence of practically all social gather-
ings, combined to make the week a
comparatively dull one. The supply of
flowers of all kinds is fully sufficient for
demands and potted stock is much in
evidence.
Various Notes.
The three greenhouses ami other prop-
erty of the Sunnyside Greenhouses of
the estate of John Patterson, at Cum
berland, were sold at an executor's sale
March 16.
The Westminster Greenhouses had a
large exhibition at the Eotary Club
bazaar, at the Narragansett hotel, last
week.
A charter has been issued to the East-
ern Wreath Mfg. Co., of Providence,
with capital stock of $25,000, to deal
in florists' supplies. The incorporators
arc Louis Shatkin, Diaries Smith and
.Tames J. McGovern.
.Tnseph E. Koppelman is at the Capitol
Tlill linspital for an opeiation on his
eyes.
Swan Peterson, of Kast Providoncc,
has succumbed to the ^riji for a few
days.
Bernard F. Quinn lias been confined
t(i Ills home by an attack of pneumonia.
Charles Macnair was a business vis
itor t<i New York last week.

The Florists^ Review
March 22, 1917.
This particular design of ball-
bearing vent hanger is bolted to
both the rafter and purlin, taking
the place of ihe regular purlin
knee.
Here is our Standard Hall-bearing Hanger all apart.
It's built almost like a watch. But it has tne strength.
It stands the racket.
This Ball=bearing Vent Hanger
Cuts Down Elbow Grease
B
|0R a long lime we have been using a ball bear-
it)g on some of our ventilating gears. And now
that we have equipped a shaft hanger w ith it, we
can't help wondering why it wasn't done ioug ago.
Of course, it makes the apparatus run
easier— a lot easier.
Yes, it does cost more than the old
hanger, but what of it? If it lakes a lot
of the lug and tug out of the ventilating,
what does the question of a little extra
on the cost amount to?
But djn't for a minute cumpare this
ball-lieariiig hanger with tlmse that have
been rushed on the market in competi-
tion.
Look at the photograph of the parts
shown above, and you will see how it is
The old hanger. We
still make and sell a lot
of tlio!n.
not skimped in any way. In fact, it's made just
like a bicycle bearing, or as any other dependable
ball bearing is made.
Althougli there seems to be (|Uite a few parts,
its construction is simplicity itself. They
all go together easily and lit into a sur-
prisingly compact space.
If you still prefer the old hangers at
•_'5c apiece, we have them.
But once you have equipped a run of
ridge sash with the ball-bearing ones at
(iOc each, you will never go back to the
old ones.
This ball-bearing hanger, in combina-
tion with our counterbalance gear, cuts
elbow grease down to almost no grease
atall.

Superiora Magnolia Leaves
—the bigsrest selling because they are the best!
•
For your own protection, Mr. Florist, accept "Superiora" Magnolia
Leaves only. They are the best — the business-building kind — for you
to use. Remember the name, "Superiora." REFUSE IMITATIONS
"SUPERIORA" BRAND MAGNOLIA L,EAVBS ARE SOLI) BY EVERY WHOLESALE FLORIST
IN THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA
What better proofs than these endorsements by the wholesale trade?
Ptttsbnrrb Cat Flower Co., of Ptttsborvh, P»., writes: "Tour
'Superiora' Magnolia Leaves are the beat leaves that we have ever
handled, and we have had no complaint from any of our customers
who bought these leaves from ua We have stored these leaves un-
der all conditions and found that they will not mould: It Is a very
satisfactory leaf Indeed."
Reed ft Keller, of New York City, say: . . and we beg
leave to aclcnowleage receipt of your last shipment of Magnolias,
and we are indeed pleased to aay that they are superior in every
way. We further state that our experience in leaves from other
dealers has been very unsatisfactory: colors vary and leaves mould
Qulokly, etc."
C. B. Critcbell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, writes: "My customers Insist
on having the 'Superiora' brand of Magnolias, as they claim these
are the best, and that' they do not dry out or become mouldy, and
that every leaf can be used, and when this is taken into coneidera-
tion, they are also the cheapest, besides being the beat."
Geo. H. Angermneller, of St. Louis, Mo., says: "It pleases me
to say that I have worked up a splendid business on your 'Superiors'
Magnolia Leaves, and I credit my success to the fact that the quality
of your leaves has always been entirely satisfactory to my customers,
etc."
Michigan Cot Flower Exchange. Detroit, Mich., says: "We have
been handling your 'Superiora' Magnolia Leaves for the past six
years and find In all this time that we have had no complaints but
many compliments on these goods., etc., etc"
New England Florist Supply Co., oT Boston, Mass., writes: "Have
found 'Superiora' Magnolias the best leaves on the market. The
salea on this leaf have been growing with the same rapidity as our
business."
Jos. G. Neldlnger Co., of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "We have
tried all the Magnolia Leaves that are offered, but find your leavea
to be far superior to all others, etc., etc."
The HcCallnm Co., of Pittsburgh, Pa., says: "Other Magnolia
preparers havs tried to induce us to stock up their goods 'Just as
good as Dux's' at a cheaper price, but we have in each Instance told
them frankly that it was a ease of quality with us, and that ws did
not think their leaf would give the satisfaction yours did. We eon-
aider our Magnolia trade one of ths best assets of our business and
will not take a chance of losing it; In fact, our traveling men are
often greeted as 'Magnolia Kings.' "
The Kervan Co., of New York City, writes: "We have handled
your Magnolia leaves for several years and we take pleasure In
announcing that our already long list of aatlsfled cuatomera con-
tinues to grow. Since we have handled your leavea we have never
had a complaint, but before that there waa dlasatlafaction."
L. Baumann ft Co., of Chicago, IlL, write: "We regard yonr
'Superiora' Magnolia Leavea as being unequaled and certainly
would not want to have anything elae. Your leavea need no recom-
mendation— they speak for themselves."
Wm. F. Knstlng Co., of Buffalo. N. Y., writes: "Have always
found that the 'Superiora' brand gives our customers entire satisfac-
tion; in fact, they are the beat leaves we have been able to obtain
In the last few years."
Jos. E. Koppelman, of Providence. B. L, writes: "We feel that
we can sell your leaves to people who have used them ones without
any trouble. They rather pay the dlflCerence than to buy other
leaves elsewhere, etc., etc"
Henry M. Robinson ft Co., of Boston, Maaa., write: "We are
pleased to state that the quality of your leaves is certainly the best
ever manufactured in this country, and it la a pleaaure to offer suoh
stock for sale, etc."
The Dale Estate, of Brampton, Ont., writes: "We are glad ts
state that any 'Superiora' leaves that we have had in the past
were always aa reported and gave satisfaction in our business."

Caster Stock, J9I7
On time and in fine shape. Can ship any time, and it would be to your advantage,
if you have glass, to have stock shipped a week or two before Easter, as there is much
less danger of bruising the buds on blooming stock. Then too, it will make a much better
appearance developing after shipment.
State whether to be in or out of pots. Three, four, five and six-inch stock, grown
in pots, can be shipped in paper pots and save express. Azaleas, lar^e Roses and
Hydrangeas must be left in pots.
Packing will be charged at cost. =1 l^:'**;. •' --

^^Hamburg
Late White''
CHRYSANTHEMUM
CERTIFICATE OF MERIT awarded by Chrysanthemum Society of America
Picture was takea December 10, 1916,
and will give a good idea of the symmet-
rical form of flowers of "Hamburg Late
White." These flowers were cut from
plants grown from single stems and
planted six inches each way.
"Hamburg Late White" is pure white
under all weather conditions and is a sport
of Maud Dean, white, but has no trace of
pink, as the original.
The average grower of Chrysanthemuma
must have varieties which are easy to nandle,
and from which he can cut as near 100% of per-
fect blooms as possible. "Hamburg Late
White" has been grown for the last four years,
and produces a very high proportion of good
flowers. It is not an exhibition variety, but for
late white one of the best for commercial pur-
poses. It ran be had in bloom the latter part of
November by taking an early bud. but by se-
lecting later buds most of the flowers are cut
during December, and would advise to select a
late bud as the later buds come somewhat ful-
ler. By selecting late buds flowers can be had
as late as the middle of January.
Keeping Qualities are excellent, and where a
light, graceful white flower is wanted "Ham-
burg Late White" cannot be surpassed.
"Hamburg Late White" will be dissemi-
nated in the Soring of 1917. Plants will be
ready forApril, 1917, delivery and all orders will
be filled in rotation.

Announcement of Dorner's Novelties for 1918
If you are interested !ri something new, of greater than
ordinary merit, give this more than your passing glance.
New Carnation, "Laddie"
Color, a warm rose salmon-pink. Flowers
of largest size, average three and one-half
inches in diameter when at proper stage to
cut, and which develop to four and one-half
inches on the plants or in water. Undoubtedly
the coming fancy carnation to grow. The
keeping qualities are beyond question far
ahead of any carnation yet produced, being
superior to PINK DELIGHT, from which as
a seedling it inherited this excellent quality.
The growth is good and clean, makes large
plants which quickly throw strong, stiff
flowering shoots. The calyx is all that can
be desired. An early and prolific producer.
LADDIE won the DORNER MEMORIAL
MEDAL at Indianapolis, January 31, 1917.
Certificated by the Boston Horticultural So-
LADDIE ciety in the same month, and has never
failed to win high recognition whenever exhibited. The rich, non-fading color, size of flower, the splendid growth and
unsurpassed commercial qualities have won many strong admirers who, with pleasure, look forward to its dissemination.
That th«re will be the greatest demand for this commercial wonder is assured by the bookings to date, which March
14th totaled 54,200 cuttings, and this before any announcement of its dissemination had been made. If you want some-
thing extra select, LADDIE is the variety. Deliveries will commence in December, 1917, and orders will be filled in
rotation as booked. Place your order now to be in on the early deliveries.
PRICE -$12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000;
2500 for $237.60; 5000 for $450.00.
New Pink Forcing Rose, ''Rose Narie"
Sunburst Crossed with Hoosier Beauty
In offering to the trade this pink rose, we wish to
state that its commercial value has been tried and
proven. In color, size, stem, keeping qualities, free-
dom of bloom and strong, clean growth, it ranks with
the best of the greenhouse roses.
The color is a beautiful clear rose-pink. The buds
are long, of perfect shape and open into a very large
flower of as good substance as its parents, and as
fragrant as Hoosier Beauty. Growth is very strong,
throwing extra long flowering shoots, the breaks come
quickly and it has no resting period at any time. Has
never shown a trace of mildew or any other disease.
Grafts and own root plants grown side by side have
shown no difference, proving that it will do as well on
own root as on Manetti.
Deliveries will begin March 1, 1918.
PRICE-Own root, $30.00 per 100; $250.00 per 1000.
Grafts, - - 35.00 per 100; 300.C0 per 1000.
250 at 1000 rate.

VIM Delivery Car Solves
Florist's Delivery Problem
I have found my VIM Delivery Car very satlafactory. It is low on gasoline
consumption and is dointf the work of two or three teams. I have found it an
economy, particularly at times when my equipment is idle. I then have one ma-
chine using up nothing, instead of two or three teams consuming feed and
requiring care. Yours truly,
Charles B. Stahl.
MR. STAHL'S experience, like
the many other florists who
are using the VIM Delivery
Car in their business, is typical of
VIM economy.
For the florist there can be no
question but that the VIM is the right
delivery car. It is built for its work.
It will deliver cheaply a rush order of cut
flowers or truck a thousand pounds of
potted plants.
The VIM is fundamental — built solely
for delivery work.
The VIM is easy on tires and economical
in gasoline consumption. It has capacity
and distance. It keeps delivery costs
down where they belong.
This is ttie most efficient chassis for
its work in ttie world— price is $645.
Fitted with any one of twelve types
of body— handsomely designed and
stronarly built— suitable for a hun-
dred lines of business. Price com-
plete: Open Express, $69?; Closed
Panel, $725.
All prices P. O. B. Philadelphia 8
Write VIM. Philadelphia, for catalogue
The VIM will stay on the job delivering
every working hour of the day and keep
out of the repair shop. Last year the
converted pleasure car cost the merchants
of this country over $10,000,000 for re-
pair bills alone.
You ought to know the VIM Delivery
Car and the VIM Deferred Payment
Plan. You use your VIM Car while you
are paying for it out of the money VIM
Delivery saves from the cost of your pres-
ent delivery methods.

^ PUTS IT OVER
The eighteenth annual business meeting of the national organization of
rosarians is marked hy the culmination of long-cherished hopes for an exhi-
bition of roses not dependent for strength and support on displays of any
other flower. It is a success from every point of view.
'ifm}

EGANIZED in New York,
March 13, 1899, with its
first show in 1900, the
American Eose Society has
held sixteen exhibitions in
cooperation with some other
body of professional or
amateur gardeners. These
J exhibitions have been held
as far west as Chicago and
as far east as Boston, but not until the
seventeenth time has the management
felt sufficiently self-reliant to go it alone.
For the first time in America, there-
fore, this week's show at Philadelphia
is exclusively of indoor rose blooms and
plants and it follows as a corollary that
it is the largest display of roses ever seen
in an exhibition hall in America.
The belief that this year, if ever, the
American Eose Society, at 18 years of age,
was strong enough to go it alone orig-
inated with President Samuel S. Pen-
nock and it is largely due to his single-
ness of purpose that the
show has become an accom-
plished fact.
Confidence Justified.
That President Pennock's
confidence in the self-reliance
of the society was justified
became apparent to the trade
weeks before the doors of
the exhibition opened. In-
deed, when the arrangements
were begun it was decided
not to use Horticultural hall,
where the Eose Society has
held several exhibitions joint-
ly with the Pennsylvania
Horticultural Society, but to
employ the larger if less
centrally located armory of
the First Regiment, at
Broad and Callowhill streets,
where a considerably greater
floor is available. It has
proved none too large.
The show is more nearly
a trade affair than any other
held in the east this sea-
son. Of course the private
gardeners have their part,
as the plant section was open
to them and they have a
group of forty-nine classes
for cut flowers staged the
day after the commercial cut
roses; but the gardeners
never have had the facili-
ties to hold up their end on
cut roses, no matter how
they may excel in some other
branches o f floriculture.

attention of the proletariat — non-buyers.
The American Rose Society has reason
to be proud of this show. It is an inspira-
to rose lovers of every degree. There are
fine roses, new roses, artistically ar-
ranged roses and, best of all, a well ar-
ranged rose show. The excellence of the
arrangements was felt at the outset.
William Kleinheinz, manager of the ex-
hibition, had a place for everything. Each
vase for cut flowers had an allotted posi-
tion where it could be filled and ready
for the roses.
Practically everything was ready on
time, so that the show opened promptly
at 3 o'clock as scheduled. It was prac-
tically a rose show as planned, but the
decorations and dealers' exhibits lent the
green and variety to set off the queen of
flowers.
Some Features.
The roses are extremely fine, both as
to plants and cut flowers, better in one
or two instances than at any
previous show. The exhibits,
while largely local, are also
fairly strong from out of
town, thanks to A. N. Pier-
son, Inc., of Cromwell, who
exhibited nearly 2,000 cut
roses as well as a goodly
number of plants.
The feature of the show
in plants is the novelties
shown by Henry A. Dreer,
Inc., notably Los Angeles
and Golden Emblem, and the
cut blooms of Hadley from
the Joseph Heacock Co.
There are two other nota-
ble features: The exhibits
of the retailers and having
the exhibition all on one
floor. Each added much to
the effectiveness of the roses
on display.
The center of the hall is
occupied by the American
Rose Society rose garden. It
is laid out in 1,200 square
feet in Roman style, sur-
rounded by columns and a
pergola, with a marble Venus
in the center. The garden
is formed of dwarf roses laid
out in ribbon pattern. The
varieties are Erna Teschen-
dorff, Ellen Poulsen, Baby
Tausendschon and Baby
Rambler. They are set in
peat moss with walks of
grass. Tall standard roses,
American Pillar, Tausend-
schon, etc., border the gar-

and arranged by Walter von den Hengle,
for J. J. Habermehl 's Sons.
Around the garden are cut roses in uni-
form tall willow baskets that set them off
well. The appearance of a garden is
carried out by moss and ferns as borders.
There are probably 5,000 cut roses in
the hall. The plants for competition are
at one end. The magnificent exhibit of
Henry A. Drecr is at the other end. The
retail florists' exhibit booths line both
sides and there is the garden of Henry F.
Michell Co.
The Dreer exhibit contains 171 vari-
eties of roses in pots, many never before
seen. It is arranged in a greenhouse,
18x25 feet, built by the King Construc-
tion Co., and in l)eds around the green-
house.
The Henry F. Micliell Co. occupies a
garden 17x44 feet surrounded by a neat
paling fence. It is beautifully laid out
by Philip Freud witli Baby Kambler and
Baby Tausendschon roses, with Climbing
Tausendschon on the fence. There is a

Retailers' Exhibits.
Pennock Bros, have a display of exquis-

Novelties in debutante baskets and baby
gifts ^re charming.
J. J. Habermehl 's Sons have a striking
garden decoration. A perfect hemlock
hedge borders a rose garden. In it are
displayed some dozen or more handsome
baskets, each perfect in itself.

lily pond in the center of an elaborately
decorated rectangular table with a de-
pressed center.
Other Betail Displays.
Opposite the exhibits just described is
the main body of the retailers, ranged
along the south wall. John Kuhn, of
Olney, has an elaborate table set for
twelve covers, complete in every detail.
John C. Gracey displays a landscape in
miniature, with a floral readograph be-
hind. The center of the London Flower
Shop's booth is occupied by a gazing
ball and there are choice flowers in Eus-
kin ware. Charles Henry Fox placed the
bluebird, an improved surprise box, in the
foreground, filled with Sweetheart roses
and forget-me-nots. There are rose re-
minders of La France in bold outline, with
many a PoUyana basket filled with care-
fully chosen flowers. Charles H. Grake-
low displays originality in the selection
of the flowers for his exhibit. While fine
and sentimental, roses predominate. Two
hand bouquets ornament & table that is
surrounded by ribbons held in place by
Sunburst-garlanded posts. J. Wolff
Moore furnishes the flowers and a caterer
the napery for a well-filled dinner table
with a foliage setting. Ira G. Marvin, of
Wilkes-Barre, has a table that pleased
tne young with its suggestion of bounte-
ous Christmas cheer. Julius Wolff, Jr.,
makes each plant and basket a shapely
])tdestal specimen displayed well apart.
Victor I. Eidenour has a dainty bridal-
like table with spring blossoms, with gar-
landed post, mantel and mirror. T. Nel-
son Geiger arranged a booth of floral sug-
gestions that are most interesting. Harry
S. Betz combined fine flowers with choice
nursery stock effectively.
The Dreer Bose Qarden
The rose garden of Henry A. Dreer,
luc., is the outstanding feature from a
rosarian's point of view. It contains
125 varieties of hybrid tea roses in full
bloom. They are all in 6-inch pots and
include many varieties never before ex-
hibited in this country. A careful study
of the varieties is an education in the
progress made in hybridizing roses, both
in Europe and in our own country, to
which should be added praise for the
cultural skill shown in the health and
vigor of the plants exhibited. Los
Angeles (Howard & Smith) is the most
striking novelty. Its wonderful vigor
and freedom, the life of its rich pink
coloring with its suffusion of gold, make
it simply fascinating. Next in point of
interest, perhaps rivaling Los Angeles,
is Golden Emblem (McGredy), so rich
and deep a golden yellow that Mr. Eisele
has cabled the introducer for the Amer-
ican rights to the variety. Mme. Her-
riot, the Daily Mail rose (Pernet-Duch-
er), is not new, but it is most striking
here. There is nothing like it in its
rich apricot color. The contrast be-
tween buds half developed and full
blown flowers is fascinating. Ophelia
(Paul) is not new, but it is good. The
interesting part is that in pots Ophelia
comes with more pink and less salmon
than under culture indoors for cut flow-
ers. Mrs. Wemyss Quin (Dickson),
lemon yellow with copper shading, win-
ner of the Bagatelle prize, is pretty.
Mrs. Bertram J. Walker (Dickson) is a
novelty of bright cerise pink. Cheerful
(McGredy) is a rose with a descriptive
name that makes Mr. Eisele long for an
encore. Margaret Dickson Hamill
(Dickson) is a rose that the originator
thought worth naming after his own
sister. It is saffron yellow. Arthur E.
Goodwin (Pernet-Ducher) is a fine or-
ange red of pleasing habit. A young
lady called this "Ophir and gold."
Chateau de Clos Vougeot (Pernet-
Ducher) is a crimson of great promise.
Holland has sent a white rose that bids
fair to become a leading bidder. The
Duchess of Sutherland (Dickson) is rose
pink. Marie Adelaide Grand Duchess of
Luxemburg (Soupert & Netting) is a
fine deep orange yellow rose that will
become popular when shorn of verbiage.
Isobel is a single deep pink rose of the
type best known here in Irish Fire-
flame. Miss Cynthia Forde is a bright
pink. Josephine (Paul) is a light pink.
Modesty (McGredy) is a flesh pink and
Lady Pirrie (Dickson) is a salmon.
This description will give some idea
of the unusual collection of roses brought
together and exhibited by Mr. Eisele.
It is a remarkable collection and one
that will greatly stimulate the interest
in roses for outdoor cultivation.

The Florists^ Review
March 22, 1917.
PRESIDENT PENNOCK'S ADDRESS.
[The review of the year's work with wlilch
the annual meeting of the American Rose
Society was opened at Philadelpliia March 21.
1917.]
A year ago we were holding our an-
nual show and meeting as a part of the
National Flower Show. The American
Eose Society contributed largely in mak-
nig this show such a wonderful success,
as it was through the combined efforts
of our officers and members that there
was staged one of the greatest exhibi-
tions of roses ever held in this country.
Unfortunately, however, the Rose Soci-
ety was not directly benefited financially
by these efforts.
In view of what the Rose Society had
accomplished, it was decided, after care-
ful consideration, to hold in Philadel-
phia, March, 1917, a show of our ow:^,
composed entirely of roses, not only to
further our interests, but also as an
success. It has never been my pleasure
to be associated with any group of
men who threw their hearts and souls
into an undertaking with more vim and
energy than you have.
May this show be the inspiration and
forerunner of many successful shows in
the future.
*'*
A June Festival Proposed.
This is primarily a show that appeals
more to the commercial man than to the
amateur, yet there are many points that
interest and deal directly with the ama-
teur— the rose gardens, the cut roses,
grown commercially, I know, but many
of them splendid garden roses, as well
as many other, to them, interesting fea-
tures. The society having demonstrated
that an annual spring show of its own
can be held on a large scale, the question
arises in my mind why it would not be
Prof. Edward A. White. "
(Secrotary-Klcct of the American Kose Society.)
educational feature and an uplift to the
society, in placing it in the prominent
position it so richly deserves among the
important societies of our country.
Everyone visiting our present show
at the First Regiment armory cannot
help but realize how well and how faith-
fully those in charge have worked to
bring about the splendid results in mak-
ing this exhibition the wonderful suc-
cess it is, a show we can all well be
proud of — a band of men who worked
and pulled together with but one object
in view, success; and I want to take the
opportunity, as your president, for the
society to thank not only the officers
and chairmen, but every member who so
faithfully worked to make this show a
possible to hold in June a national out-
door rose festival annually, conducting
it on a large scale, bringing exhibits
from all leading amateur rosarians with-
in a radius of overnight trips or less,
thus gathering together amateurs and
their roses from all over the country,
an event that would be looked forward
to and sought for by groups of rose
lovers, in every city, whether small or
large.
We have with us amateur members
who are enthusiastic, willing and well
able to undertake the carrying on of an
annual festival of this character. I
should be glad indeed to have a discus-
sion on this subject at this meeting and
some definite steps taken toward estab-
lishing such an annual affair. I am sure
we have many amateurs, some right here
in Philadelphia, who would be willing
to throw their efforts into a movement
of this nature. This, with our spring
show, should increase our membership
as nothing else will or could, so I hope
everyone, particularly you commercial
men, will give this your earnest support,
making for the advancement of the rose,
both from a garden and a commercial
standpoint. "A rose for every home;
a bush for every garden."
The Membership.
The membership of the society has
materially increased in both the active
and associate classes. In addition to a
healthy growth in the active member-
ship, there has resulted an increase in
associate membership to at least twenty
times the number recorded one year ago,
and this increase is continuing, I am
glad to say. Last fall the society made a
proposition to several rose catalogue
men, some taking advantage of it, some
turning it down. The firms who went
into this partnership arrangement I am
sure are well paid for the effort. I know
the society feels the proposition has
been a splendid help and is more than
grateful to these firms for their hearty
cooperation. To those who are not
familiar with this agreement a word of
explanation is in order. The dues were
payable to the firm soliciting the mem-
bership, they retaining half the amount.
This as a business proposition, on the
surface, looks like poor business, but
from the viewpoint of future member-
ship I believe it one of the best moves
ever made by the society — a member
once, a member always.
While on this membership business,
I should like to recommend a readjusting
of the membership dues, not only the
active but the associate and affiliated
as well.
Instead of having two classes as we
now have, active and associate member-
ships, I would suggest we merge them
and have only the active membership.
This would give the associate member,
who at present is not eligible to vote or
take part in any proceedings, all the
rights of membership. Also, instead of
active members paying $3 annually and
associates $1, that the dues for all be $2.
Our affiliated members at present are
paying 25 cents. This I think, with all
we are doing at present and all we are
planning for the future for these mem-
bers, should be $1, they receiving the
Annual and any other literature which
may be issued; also, admissions to any
shows; the Annuals to be shipped in
bulk to the affiliated society and not dis-
tributed individually by the Rose So-
ciety.
I hope these recommendations on mem-
bership dues will meet with your ap-
proval and that same will be brought up
for discussion at this meeting.
The Annual.
The favorable reception accorded to
the 1916 Rose Annual is the best com-
ment on the success of this attempt. The
editor of the Annual, J. Horace McFar-
land, found ready and cheerful coopera-
tion among the members of the society
who could afford proper help. It is be-
lieved that the articles presented in the
1916 Annual on possibilities in rose
breeding, on the rose species available
from China and elsewhere, on America's
^UKCH 22, 1917.
The Florists^ Review
29
efforts in rose growing and rose breed-
ing, on the diseases and insects which
affect roses, on rose popularity in vari-
ous parts of the United States and Can-
ada, on rose organizations, and on roses
grown for cut flowers, were of such
value that the volume will long remain
a standard reference book, comparing
favorably with the best issues of the
National Rose Society of England.
As an illustration of how this An-
nual was received not only in this coun-
try, but in Europe as well, I ^ant to
read you from a letter of May 26, 1916,
from Joseph J. Lane, of the Garden
Magazine :
I had the pleasure of being one of those
present at the meeting of the American Rose
Society during the Philadelphia flower show In
1916, because I joined the society two or three
days before. I tell you frankly that the reason
I joined the Rose Society was to get a copy of
the Rose Annual and to affiliate myself with an
organization which was so enthusiastically going
about its work. The majority of the horticul-
tural organizations as a riUe solicit you for your
dues and never think of making any plans for
you to get something back for your money. I
am glad to say that in receiving a copy of the
Rose Annual I have received sufllclent to pay me
for my entire dues. Next year I want you to
solicit us good and hard for advertising in this
book. The Garden Magazine and Country Life
in America, also some of our garden books,
should be in there and 1 will do everything in
my power to see that they are.
The heading of a column and a half
article in the Gardeners' Chronicle of
July 8, 1916, an English publication,
starts off in this fashion:
The American Rose Society and Mr. McFar-
land, its editor, are to be congratulated on the
issue of the first Annual under the auspices of
the society. This forms a volume of some 150
pages, the last ten of which are devoted to
accounts of rose shows.
Then it goes on, giving a thorough re-
sume of the book in its many phases.
These are but two instances of many,
showing how wonderfully the Annual of
1916 was received, indeed a volume to
be proud of!
Besearch Work.
In the late spring of 1916 a fund
for research work in rose diseases was
started. A liberal response to the call
for subscriptions from interested rose
growers all over the country made it
possible for the oflScers to arrange
through Dr. H. H. Whetzel, the patholo-
gist of Cornell University, for the em-
ployment of Dr. L. M. Massey to under-
take the disease study desired. The
university itself bears an important part
of the cost of the work.
Dr. Massey began work in the early
fall and his accomplishments up to date
have been most gratifying, even though
it was not expected that there would be
any particular result for at least a year.
For example, his investigation of the
new trouble which besets cut flower rose
growers, a form of crown root-gall, is
likely to result in the early checking of
a disease whicb certainly, under previ-
ously existing conditions, might easily
have put many growers entirely out of
business. It is most important that
every grower, particularly the commer-
cial man, should take careful note of
the disease. Dr. Massey has also taken
up carefully the study of the difficult
black spot and in the 1917 Annual will
be found his article bearing on this most
important subject. The research fund
was solicited largely through personal
effort and it is my sincere hope that
the subscriptions will be renewed and
extended, so that the work may be ear-
ned on for another year, or as much
longer as is necessary to keep the mem-
bers of the society fully informed as
to rose diseases and as to the best means
for combating them.
Villlam L. Rock.
(Vlce-Preeldent-Elect of the American Roee Society.)
The Nursery Trade.
It seems that the nurserymen are not
taking advantage of their opportunities,
in coming in and being represented more
strongly in the society. I would like
to quote from a letter of February 17,
1917, received from John Watson, presi-
dent of the American Association of
Nurserymen :
I am a member of the American Rose Society,
hut a poor one, and a member of the committee
for the Cornell garden. I especially regret not
having been able to do anything for the garden
pxcept to send some rose plants, and to ask my
friends among the foreign rose growers to do
likewise; the war has so seriously handicapped
them that they have not sent as many plants
as they could have sent under normal conditions.
No society of its kind is of greater importance
to the nursery trade than the Rose Society, for
it has so much to do. I was writing Mr. McFar-
l.ind the other day regretting the backwardness
of American growers in hybridizing. While we
have many new seedlings, they are nearly all
forcing varieties, except the Wichuralana hybrids,
which have been overdone. Some years ago, when
nt Mr. Lambert's in Treves, I was interested in
his enthusiasm for his plans to produce a race
of hardy everblooming climbers. You know in
Ills Trier he produced an almost everblooming
rambler. He will go the rest of the way, I feel
sure. Then there are the rugosas, which we are
leaving untouched, the easiest to cross, while
the results so far have given us the best that we
liave in hardy roses like Amelie Gravereaux, Mme.
Lucien VlUemlnot, Conrad F. Meyer and Nova
Zembla. That race is what we must look to in
.\merica: Hardiness, everblooming habit, good
foliage and fragrance. Our hybridizers all seem
to be working on forcing roses, of which we have
an abundance. We must look to the hardy, out-
door roses, just as the British growers devote
themselves to the hybrid teas. It is amazing
that the American nurserymen are doing nothing
for the rose and nothing for the American Rose
Society.
From this you will see how one of
our prominent fellow nurserymen feels
not only about the society, but the intro-
ducing of new roses of American origin
as well. It would not only give me great
pleasure, but immense satisfaction, to
have the nurserymen and their inter-
ests more closely allied with the Bose
Society and I hope we may have their
fuller support in the future.
Bose Test Gardens.
Our work in the past of the rose test-
ing gardens is too well known for me
to go over it at this time. These test
gardens, I am glad to say, are bringing
good results, but not as good as we
would like to have in the way of records
of how the gardens are being kept up,
as these are of great importance. These
test gardens are going to be one of the
valuable assets of the society, not only
in the actual garden tests, but in the
records of the roses. May we look for-
ward to only a few years hence when
every city of any size will take hold and
foster a rose garden such as Portland,
Ore., is undertaking at this time, which
is called the Portland Association Na-
tional Rose Test Garden, a wonderful
movement not only for Portland, but for
the Rose Society and the rose business
in general, which is being backed by
such bodies as the Chamber of Com-
merce, city council and ninety-seven
other organizations. Think of it: Ninety-
nine distinct organizations! This spells
progress in the broadest sense of the
word and to my mind should be an incen-
tive for every other city in this country.
I want to read you a quotation from
"Horticulture" of July 15, 1916:
We have heard from a number of places where
municipal rose gardens are being established
this year, or are being planned. It is only a
question of time, and that not long, until a
rose garden will be regarded as an indispensable
feature of every public park and private estates
generally will follow suit. Until the advent
of the hardy hybrid teas and everblooming
polyanthas, tliere was little inducement for the

of this nature. Tliis, witii our spring
show, should increase our membership
as nothing else will or could, so I hope
everyone, particularly you commercial
men, will give this your earnest su]i]iort,
making for the advancement of tlic rose,
))oth from a garden and a commercial
standpoint. "A rose for every home;
a busli for every garden."
The Membership.
Tlie membership of the society has
materially increased in both the active
and associate classes. In addition to a
healthy growth in the active member-
ship, there has resulted an increase in
associate membership to at least twenty
times tlie number recorded one year ago,
and this increase is continuing, I am
glatl to say. Last fall the society made a
jiroposition to several rose catalogue
men, some taking advantage of it, some
turning it down. The tirms who went
into this partnership arrangement I am
sure are avoII paid for the effort. I know
the society feels the jiro{iosition has
heen a splendid help and is more than
grateful to tliese linns for their hearty
co()peration. To those who are not
familiar with this agreement a word of
exjilanation is in order. The dues were
]iayable to tlie firm soliciting the mem-
bership, they retaining lialf the amount.
Tliis as a business jiroposition, on the
surface, looks like jioor business, but
from the viewpoint of future member-
sliiji I helie\e it one of the best moves
ever made by tlie society — a member
once, a member always.
Wiiile on this memliership Inisiness,
I slunild like to recommend a read.iusting
of tiie membership dues, not only the
active but the associate and afliliated
as well.
instead of }ia\'ing two classes as we
now have, acti\e and associate member-
ships, 1 would suggest we merge tlicm
ami liave only the active membership.
This would give the associate member,
who at present is not eligible to vote or
take part in any iiroceedings, all the
rights of memliership. Also, instead of
active members paying $',] annually and
associates $1, that the dues for all be $2.
Our alliliated members at present are
jiaying 'J.l cents. This I think, with all
we are doing ;it jiresent and all we are
jilanning for tiio future for these mem-
liers, should be $1, they receiving the
Annual and any otlier literature which
may l)e issued; also, admissions to any
shows: tlie Annuals to be shipped in
liulk to the atliliated society and not dis-
tributed indi\iduallv bv the Kose So-
ciety.
1 hope these recommenclations on meni-
ln'rship dues will meet with your ap-
]iroval and that same will be brought up
for discussion at tliis meeting.
The Annual.
The fa\orahle reception accorded to
the l'.»l() Rose Annual is the best com-
ment on the success of this attempt. The
editor of the Annual, J. Horace McFar-
land, found ready and cheerful coopera-
tion amoiig the members of the society
who could atVord jirojier help. It is be-
lieved that the articles jiresented in the
linC) Annual on jiossildlities in rose

from Ciiina and elsewhere, on America's

organization which was so entluisiastically KoinK

Research Work.
In the late spring of 19IG a fund
for research work in rose diseases was
started. A liberal response to the call
for subscriptions from interested rose
growers all over the country mmle it
possible fnr the otlicers to arrange
through Dr. 11. H. Whetzel, the jiatholo-
gist of Cornidl University, for the em-
jdoyment of Dr. L. M. Massey to under-
take tlic disease study desired. The
university itself bears an important part
of tlie cost of tlie work.
Dr. Massey began work in the early
fall and his accomplishments up to date
have been most gratifying, even though
it was not expected that there would be
any particular result for at least a year.
For e.\:im]>le, his imestigation of the
new trouble which besets cut llower rose
growers, a form of crown rcuit gall, is
likely to result in the early checking of
a disease which certainly, under previ-
ously existing conditions, might easily
ha\e ]>ut many growers entirely out of
business. It is most important that
every gro'.ver, particularly the commer-
cial man, should take careful note of
the disease. Dr. Massey has also taken
up carefully the study"^ of the dillicult
black spot and in the 1017 Annual will
be found his article bearing on this most
important subject. The research fund
was solicited largely through personal
ollort and it is my sincere hope that
tht> subscrijitions will be renewed and
extended, so that the work may be car-
ried on for another year, or as much
longer as is necessary to keep the mem-
bers of the society fuUy informed as
to rose diseases and as to'the best means
for combating them.

The Nursery Trade.
It seems that the nurserymen are not
taking advantage of thidr ojiportunities,
ill coming in and being represented more
strongly in the society. I would like
to quote from a letter of February 17,
1917, received from .bdin Watson, jiresi-
tlent of the American Association of
Nurserymen:
I am a member of the .\nierican Itose So<'i<>tv.
but a poor one. and a member of the committee
for till' t'ornell garden. I especially regret not
b.iviiiK tieeii able to do anytliiuK for the >:ardeu
• ■\cept to send some ro--e plants, .'lud to ask my
I'liends amoiif; the foreign rose Krowers to do
likewise: the war has so seriously handicapped
thorn that they liave not sent as many iilants
:iN they could have sent under normal conditions.
No s<ociety of its kind is of ^ri-ater impovtanco
to the nursiTv trade than the Ho-.e So. let v. for
It has so inucii to do. 1 was writinc Mr. McFar-
laiid the other clay recrettiuR th<> backwardness
of American i;rowers in hybridizinc While we
liave many new see<nini,'s, tliey are nearly all
tdrcini: varieties, exceiit the Wichuraiana hybrids,
uliich have boi>n overdone. Some years airo, when
at Mr Lambert's in Trevos. I was interested in
his enthusiasm for his plans to produce a race
of liardy everbloomiin; climbers. Von know in
his Trier he produced an almost everbliximinc
r.imbler. He will >.'0 the ri'>t of the way. I feel
-lire. Then there are the riiu'osas, which we are
bavinir untouched, the easiest to cross, while
the results so far have piven lis the best that we
havo in hardy roses liko .Vniclie Cravereaiix, Mine,
l.ui'ien Ville'minot. Conrad F. Mi'yer and Nova
/embla. That race is what we must look to in
America: Hardiness, pverbloomins habit. Kood
foliage and fragrance. Oiir hybridizer.s all seem
to be workinc on forcinc roses, of which we havo
.111 abundance. We must look to the hardy, out-
door ro-es, just as the liritisli growers devote
themsolves to tlie hybrid teas. It is amazinc
that the American nurserymi'n are dointr nothinR
for tlie rose and nothini.' for tin' .\nierican Kose
Sorioty,
From this you will see how one of
our jirominent fellow nurserymen feels
not only about the society, but the intro-
ducing of new roses of American origin
as well. It would not only give me great
jileasure, but immense satisfaction, to
have tlie nurscrvmen and their inter-
ests mori^ closidy allied with the Rose
Siiciety and 1 hope we may have their
liiller support in the future.
Rose Test Gardens.
Our work in the ji.'ist of the rose test-
ing gardens is too well known for me
to go over it at this time. These test
giirdens, 1 am glad to say, are bringing
good results, hut not as good as we
would like to have in the way of records
of how the gardens are being kept up,
as these are of great importance. These
test gtirdens ;ire going to be one of the
\aluable assets of the society, not only
in tiie actual garden tests, but in the
records of the roses. May we look for-
ward to only a few years hence when
e\ cry city of any size will take hold and
foster a rose garden such as Portland,
Ore., is undertaking at this time, which
is c;illed the Portland Association Na-
tional Kose Test (.iardeu, a wonderful
mo\ cnu'iit not only for Portland, but for
the Rose Society aiul the rose business
in general, which is being backed by
such licidies as the Chamlier of Com-
merce, city council and ninety-seven
other organizations. Think of it: Ninety-
nine distinct organizations! This spells
]irogress in the broadest seuse of the
word and to niy mind should be an incen-
tive for every other city in this country.
I want to read you a quotation from
••Horticulture" of July 15, 1916:
We have hoard from a number of places whore
miinici|ial roso j;.irdons are being established
this year, or are beiiin planned. It is only a
iliiestion of time, and that not louK. until a
rose irarden will lie regarded as an indispensable
feature of every public park and private estates
u'encrally will follow suit. t'ntil the advent
of the hardy hybrid teas and evorblooniius

making of rose gardens in tlie nortliern and
eastern I'nlted States. Now tliere Is abundant
recompense for all tlie labor and attention inci-
dent to the proper planting and care of the queen
of flowers, and with prospects as they now
appear, the garden rose industry is only in its
infancy In this counttT. In tlie effort to Im-
prove and add to the humber of forcing roses.
American rosarians have been in the past con-
centrating all their thoughts on a single ideal,
and, no doubt, hundreds of their seedlings have
been thrown away because they failed to measure
up to the forcing rose standard, wliich, had the.v
been given an opportunity to qualify, would
have proven invaluable as garden varieties.
With tlie rapidly developing demand for the
latter comes a new incentive to rose hybridizing
in this country, and we shall be surprised ana
disappointed if American grown varieties do not
in the near future outstrip and outclass for
garden use the foreign productions upon which
we have been hitherto so largely dependent.
Here is a thought for every American
hybridizer to think over thoroughly and
possibly make a profit out of a seeming
loss.
Tribute to the Secretary.
^
Another recommendation which I wish
to make is that the editor and advertis-
ing manager of the Annual be made
ex-officio members of the executive com-
mittee. This I think ii an important
matter and well worth your serious con-
sideration, as the Annual will be of more
vital importance to the society each
year.
In conclusion I want to add a word
of praise for Mr. Hammond, who has
labored long and faithfully as secretary
of the Rose Society. His has been a
labor of love and not remuneration and
I think we cannot feel too kindly toward
him, realizing as we do that to him, more
success. ' ' The first rose show held un-
der the auspices of the society was in
New York, in 1899. From that time to
this there has not been a season when
we have not had a fine rose show and at
this eighteenth successive annual meet-
ing we can report a great increase of
associate members; that is, persoAS not
engaged as florists or nnrsfrymen4 Our
total membership is 1,092, as follows:
Fifty-five life members, 138 active mem-
bers and 899 associate members, these
coming from almost every state in the
Union, Canada, England,- Denmark,
Cuba, San Domingo and Mexico. This
large increase within the year is to be
attributed mainly to the service ren-
dered by 'J. Horacd McFarland, who
gave the society the benefit of his pub-
lishing company in the printing and
make-up of the Annual for 1916, a book
of decided merit. The funds at the dis-
posal of the American Rose Society had
never permitted us to embark in the
issuing of such an excellent book. Mr.
McFarland, in 1915, offered to do it and
if there was a loss on the actual cost,
he would stand one-half the deficit with
the society. There was no deficit on the
outcome so far.
The present year solicitation slips
were sent out by various seed houses and
nurserymen and florists in their cata-
logues and these returns are mainly
responsible for the marked increase of
amateur members.
The record gives us one addition to
Floor Plan for the Philadelphia Show of the American Rose Society.
than to any other one man, is due the
standing of the American Rose Society
today.
SECRETARY'S REPORT.
[A synopsis of the report of Secretary Benla-
min Hammond at the annual meeting of the
American Kose Society, I'hiludelphia, March 21,
1917.]
The year has seen a large advance in
the popular interest in the American
Rose Society. "There is no success like
the life membership list, Mrs. Elizabeth
C. T. Miller. The life membership fund
now is $3,200 and this is a most impor-
tant fund to have grow. A society for
permanence needs a substantial basis.
Last year we expressed the hope to see
our membership grow and this hope
is materializing.
During the year two of our life mem-
bers have died, Wm. C. Barry, of Roch-
ester, N. Y., who was the second presi-
dent of the society, and S. J. Reuter, of
Westerly, R. I.; both men of character
and standing. ^
The executive committee has had four-
teen meetings during the year, the de-
tails of which have been published in
the trade and other papers for general
information.
An effort was made to have special in-
vestigations of thf diseases of roses
made and an arraiigement was made
with Dr. Lewis M. Massey, of the Col-
lege of Agriculture, Cornell University,
Ithaca, N. Y., to take up the work.
A new rose test garden has been es-
tablished for the Pacific northwest at
Portland, Ore. Application was re-
ceived for Bellingham, Wash., and from
the Agricultural College of Texas, but
we were not able to provide for more
than one this year.
Several new roses were offered for
registration and are recorded in the
Annual just published. In the registra-
tion of roses there has not been any
formal rule of description hitherto. To
bring about a full and clear description
for a registration, the executive com-
mittee appointed a committee to present
such form for adoption in future use.
The demand for medals of this society
for prizes at summer shows has been
granted to affiliated societies.
The society visited officially the
Washington test garden and the Cornell
test garden at Ithaca, N. Y.
At Newport, R. I., a special effort is
being made to have an excellent outdoor
display July 4. The American Rose
Society tries to encourage these local
shows. At Barrytown-on-the-Hudson,
the usual rose show was held. This local
show has been for many years an event
well attended by local people and a so-
ciety medal was presented.
The present exhibition is tlie first
time in five years when the American
Rose Society has held a show entirely
alone. The people of Philadelphia have
shown much interest and the guaran-
tors of an insurance for expenses and
prizes number seventy-one.
The growth and development of the
society has reached a point where the
future seems assured, and the detail
work is steadily increasing to such an
extent that your secretary, who has
filled the position to the best of his abil-
ity since 1905, is obliged to decline re-
election to the office.

The Michell Rose Garden Staged at the Philadelphia Exhibition, March 20.
THE SPUD AND THE ONION.
In the Open Letters From Readers, in
the issue of March 1, I came across the
subject that will not down: "The Na-
tional Flower." With due respect to
the writer of the article, I for one fully
sustain all the objections made. Alfalfa
is without a doubt a great cattle and
horse feed in the south and southwest-
ern states, but who wants to adopt this
Peruvian or Arabian species of legume
for our national flower? We of the
Golden West have our California poppy,
of which we are proud, but we would
not for an instant try to force it upon
the whole nation as its flower. During
these times of preparedness and high
cost of living, it occurred to my weak
mind that we have overlooked two of
the most worthy subjects for the cause,
the potato and the onion! These two
subjects have, without a question, caused
vast worry and much talk, and barrels of
ink and tons of valuable paper have
been consumed by the publications of
this country to place them right before
the people. I therefore suggest the
potato as first choice, with the onion a
close second.
Who would be ashamed to wear a
small tuber, or a small onion in his
buttonhole these days? Is there a state
in the Union that is devoid of their
presence, flavor or perfume? Have we
forgotten that the noble murphy is one
of the main factors in this great pre-
paredness movement? Guns and am-
munition are nothing without men, and
men are worthless without murphies.
Ask anyone who has had the expe-
rience. Is there a home garden any-
where that could not produce at least
enough flowers for the Fourth of July
or small tubers for Thanksgiving? Of
course, critics will say spuds arc good
enough mashed or French-fried but
onions are not fit for loving couples.
Let us not forget that the flower of the
potato is pretty. The flower of the
onion, it is true, may not be beautiful
at first glance, but let us not forget its
si7.e and fragrance. The people of San
Francisco had the pleasure of gazing
into the window of a prominent milli-
nery store on Market street, upon a
lady's hat neatly trimmed with small
onions, and the sight, as well as price, of
this beautiful piece of art shall never be
forgotten in the Bay city.
Of my brother florists I will inquire:
Have you planted your potatoes for
early blooming? If not, do so at once.
Any good soil will do. Don't forget a
good patch of onions for late flowering.
These will come in handy after the
asters are gone. Mr. Winkler says the
voice of the florists and gardeners ought
to be heard in selecting a national
flower, so I have raised my voice. Now,
by all means, let us hear from you.
Henry Klopfer.
Little Eock, Ark. — A petition for di-
vorce has been filed in Chancery court
against Paul M. Palez, the alderman-
florist, by Mrs. Palez.
Clevis, N. M. — A. Alenius, at present
residing at Portland, Ore., will start a
florists' business here this month. Green-
houses will be erected during the sum-
mer.
Dallas, Tex. — Before the newly or-
ganized Dallas County Good Neighbors '
Club Otto Lang recently made an ad-
dress on the care of flower beds and
shrubs,
Vermejo Park, N. Mex. — J. IL Cain
has resigned his position as heail gar-
dener for W. H Bartlett to become man-
ager of the seed and nursery department
of the Quilitch Co., at Trinidad, Colo.
Augusta, Ga. — The South Side Devel-
opment Co., with $10,000 capital stock,
has been organized here to maintain a
cemetery for colored people. The char-
ter perjiits a general florists' business
being done.
Beaumont, Tex. — Having secured a
dealer's certificate from the state inspec-
tors, Mrs. C. P. Davis says she intends
to buy, grow and sell everything the
public calls for in flowers and nursery
stock. Quite an undertaking, indeed.
Muskogee, Okla. — The Muskogee Car-
nation Co. has moved from Broadway to
larger quarters "in the Runyan build-
ing."
Waco, Tex.— Washington's birthday
having been designated as rose planting
day, it is estimated the local florists and
nurserymen sold 10,000 plants to indi-
viduals and organizations.
Jackson, Miss. — When the Jackson
Floral Co., which opened its store hero
February 1, chose its location it picked
out a place on West Capitol street esti-
mated to be passed each business day by
one-third of Jackson's adult population.
San Antonio, Tex. — The second week
in March was set apart as palm planting
week by the Real Estate Board, which
advertised it widely. The florists and
nurserymen were asked to arrange for
special sales to help the idea along and
nearly all of them did their part.
Fort Worth, Tex. — During stock show
week here the Drumm Seed & Floral Co.
extended a general invitation to the
crowds, visitors and home folk, to visit
its greenhouses at Riverside and spend
an hour there as guests of the company.
A surprisingly large number of people

The Florists^ Review
Mabch 22. 1917.
NEW YORK STAGES
^ A FINE SHOW ^
^)m
D
|N attendance, in beauty of ex-
hibits, in financial success and in
quality of display the New York
spring show of 1917 excels its predeces-
sors. Everyone is loud in its praise and
the general public has been crowding the
Grand Central Palace as never before.
The influence of this artistic and charm-
ing exhibition is incalculable.
The exhibition shows further progress
along the lines of recent years. It is
not a contest of cultural skill on the
part of growers, for with the exception
of a few classes the competition is ex-
tremely light, but it is a demonstration
of the skill of the decorators. The big
features are the rose, rock and Dutch
gardens. The joint committees of the
Horticultural Society and the Florists'
Club did splendid work and a large
measure of the success is attributable
to the efficient and faithful devotion
of Secretary Young and the able man-
agement of Arthur Herrington. The
paths were widened, no crowding effect
was visible anywhere, and all exhibits
were carefully staged and protected.
The trades' displays in most cases
were as attractively staged as were
those for competition, but much of the
show's success may be safely accorded
the private gardeners and their million-
aire employers. The Red Cross tea
garden was, as last year, a paramount
influence in attracting society.
The publicity department was in the
charge of Messrs. Colwell and Korbel,
who were so remarkably successful in
this work a year ago.
The Qardens.
The rose and rock gardens were
centers of interest. The rose gardens
looked rather familiar, as they were
almost a counterpart of last year 's stag-
ing, with improvements and refinements.
Each garden covered 500 square feet of
space. F. B. Pierson Co. was awarded
first honors in this class. The rock
gardens were much admired and ex-
ceeded those of 1916 in size and beauty.
Leading exhibitors in these competi-
tions were F. R. Pierson Co., A. N. Pier-
son, Inc., Bobbink & Atkins and the
Julius Roehrs Co. The bulb garden also
was quite similar to that of a year ago.
The Betailers.
Only three retailers made exhibits,
the others perhaps being deterred by
the elaborateness of what the trio do.
G, E. M. Stumpp made a remarkable ex-
hibit, illustrating every department of
his business. He also staged a wonder-
ful assortment of pottery. Next to Mr.
Stumpp was Mr. Schling's model flower
shop, with plate glass window and
samples of his own and his artists'
handiwork. Close to the entrance the
only other exhibit by a retail florist was
the really grand assortment of novelties
and huge vases filled daily with fresh
cut roses of many popular varieties by
F. R. Rierson Co., Tarrytown.
The Groups.
There were four groups of flowering
plants arranged for effect, 300 square
feet devoted to each exhibit, by the
leading private gardeners of the vicin-
ity. These groups were all beautiful
and the crowds gathered constantly
around them. First honors went to
P. W. Popp, of Mamaroneck. The New
York and Brooklyn parks also supplied
many fine plants.

The Banquets.
March 17 will never be forgotten by
the members of the New York Florists'
Club and its guests. The annual banquet
takes precedence of all previous cele-
brations, in numbers, elaborateness of
decoration and welcome to the executive
committee of the Society of American
Florists. Presidents, ex-presidents and
notables in American floriculture graced
the head table, while dozens of round
tables on the side accommodated the
happy throng of young folk and their
chaperones. There were nearly 400 pres-
ent. The grand ballroom of the Hotel
Biltmore proved none too large for the
din-dan and the entire center was uti-
lized between the courses for dancing,
in which everyone but a pair of "lame
ducks" took part. The reception, be-
fore the dinner, proved to be a happy
reunion of old friends and they were
there all the way from Texas and Cali-
fornia. An immense basket of roses
greeted the diners as they entered. A
rainy day and evening prevented many
from attending, but it was a splendid
appreciation of the efforts of Messrs.
Miller, De Forest and the committee.
A splendid orchestra furnished melody.
The speeches by Presidents Kerr and
Stumpp, ex-Presidents Gude, Vincent
and others were gems and ex-President
Weston, of the club, was the recipient
of a silver tea service.
A banquet for the jurors on the open-
ing day of the exhibition, at the Hotel
Manhattan, was a most enjoyable and
mutually congratulatory event. Over
fifty of the jurors and other dignitaries
attended. Prominent among them were
President Kerr, of the S. A. F., and
Messrs. Havemeyer and Pierson, C. H.
Totty was in charge of the arrange-
ments and everything was lovely. Mr.
Havemeyer was the only orator.

II^^HE first real spring flower show
I H ever attempted in St. Louis
J^^l opened March 15 and closed
March 18 at Armory hall. It scored a
success in three ways — financially, artis-
tically and in the number of exhibits.
Armory hall was never more artis-
tically decorated and great credit is due
D. 8. Geddis, Wm. Bouehe and L. P.
Jensen, who headed the decorations com-
mittee.
The success of the show demonstrated
the possibility of noaking it a yearly
event. At its close. President Bourdet
said to the members of the various com-
mittees who had the show in charge:
' ' Gentlemen, we have made a success of
this one; now let us keep it up with one
even greater next year."
Much of the success of the show was
due to the recognition given it by so-
ciety people, who attended in large num-
bers. The Russian tea room and other
attractions managed by the society
women contributed largely to the re-
ceipts. The lectures of L. P. Jensen,
Alexander Lurie and George H. Pring
drew large attendances to the tea room.
The fine collection of orchids from the
Missouri Botanical Garden, staged by
George Pring, was one of the important
attractions of the show. The rhododen-
drons, which were from the Bourdet
Floral Co., also were greatly admired.
The bulbous display was fine and
large. In this the Bourdet Floral Co.,
William Schray & Sons and George B.
Windier scored successes.
In cut flowers the local growers made
an exceptional showing in all the classes.
The only outside exhibitors in this sec-
tion were Baur & Steinkamp, Indian-
apolis, Ind., and GuUett & Sons, Lincoln,
HI. All carnations, sweet peas and roses
were of excellent quality.
^ The local retailers also showed great
interest, with daily displays in many
classes. The first-day dinner table dis-
plays brought five competitors for the
two prizes. The Ayres Floral Co. took
first prize on an artistic table of spring
flowers. Fred Strohmeyer was the ar-
tist. Jos. Witek was second. There
were large displays in all these classes
and the judges had a hard time daily,
as the work of all the entries was most
artistic. This statement came from the
judges themselves.
The judges for the three days were
A. F. J. Baur, of Indianapolis; Theo.
Dorner, La Fayette, Ind., and James S.
Wilson, Des Moines, la. It was agreed
that they used excellent judgment. The

ilHE first real spring tlower show
ever attempted in St. Louis
opened March 15 and closed
March 18 at Armory hall. It scored a
success in three ways tinan(d;illy, artis-
tically and in the number of exhibits.
Armory hall was never more artis-
tically decorated and great credit is due
D. S. Geddis, Wm. Bouche and L. P.
Jensen, who headed the decorations com-
mittee.
The success of the show demonstrated
the possibility of making it a yearly
event. At its close. President Bourdet
said to the members of the Vcarious com-
mittees who had the show in charge:
"Gentlemen, we have made a success of
this one; now let us keep it up with one
even greater next year."
Much of the success of the show was
due to the recognition given it by so-
ciety people, who attended in large num-
bers. The ilussiau tea room and other
attractions managed by the society
women contributed largely to the re-
ceipts. The lectures of h. P. Jensen,
Alexander Lurie and George 11. Pring
drew large attendances to the tea room.
The fine collection of orchids from the
Missouri Botanical Garden, staged by
George Pring, was one of the important
attractions of the show. The rhododen-
drons, which were from the Bourdet
Floral Co., also were greatly admired.
The bulbous display was fine and
large. In this the Bourdet Floral Co.,
William Schray & Sons and George B.
Windier scored successes.
In cut flowers the local growers made
an exceptional showing in all the classes.
The only outside exhibitors in this sec-
tion were Baur & Steinkamp, Indian-
apolis, Ind., and Gullett & Sons, Lincoln,
111. All carnations, sweet peas and roses
were of excellent quality.
The local retailers also showed great
interest, with daily displays in many
clas.ses. The first-day dinner table dis-
plays brought five competitors for the
two prizes. The Ayres Floral Co. took
first prize on an artistic table of spring
flowers. Fred Strohmeycr was the ar-
tist. Jos. Witek was second. There
were large disjilays in all these classes
and the .judges had a hard time daily,
as tlie work of all the entries was most
artistic. This statement came from the
judges themselves.
The judges for the three days were
A. 1''. .1. Haur, of Indianapolis; Theo.
Dorner, La Fayette, Ind., and .James S.
Wilson, Des Moines, la. It was agreed
that they used excellent judgment. The
awards were:

Dutch Bulbs for Easter.
Hyacinths and all varieties of nar-
cissi and tulips come along rapidly at
this season. Three weeks should suffice
to flower practically anything in this
line, while a fortnight would enable
some to flower in a night temperature
of 50 degrees. Do not stand any of the
pots or pans below the benches. You
want them as stocky as possible, in order
to obviate the necessity of staking. Spe-
cially popular varieties in pans this
Eastor will be Golden Spur and Vic-
toria narcissi, Murillo and Tea Rose
tulips, white and pink hyacinths. Plants
which are a little too advanced can
ensily l)e retarded on the floor of a cool
collar. Any which seem at all back-
ward should be given a little more heat,
but keop them near the glass, so they
will not become drawn up.
Violets for Easter.
The increasing power of the sun will
now send violets along rapidly. Par-
ticularly is this true of the single va-
rieties. As soon as the plants start to
throw up a big crop of lusty leaves, that
is a sure sign of the beginning of the
end, so far as flowers are concerned.
At Easter there is a heavy call for vio-
lets, and they will bring much better
prices than at present. In order to hold
flowers in good condition until that date,
it will be necessary to place some
shade on the glass to assist in lowering
the temperature, in addition to keeping
ventilators and doors wide open. Propa-
gation should be started at once. Se-
lect strong, healthy plants for stock.
You can afford to sacrifice some flowers
on these. Tear the plants to pieces,
cut away all but a few of the new leaves
and shorten the roots. Place them in
sandy loam. Cuttings without roots
should go in clear sand and if kept
shaded and properly watered will prac-
tically all root.
Easter Lilies.
The date of Easter is April 8, and
this is a reminder that lilies will need
close attention between now and that
date, to time them correctly. Put the
laggards in the warmest house you have,
spray and water them freely and close
the house early in the afternoon, in or-
der to bottle up a brisk heat, always
provided the house does not contain
plants which will be injured by such
treatment. Plants well advanced should
go into a somewhat cooler house. If
buds are now ready to bend down they
will be on time if given a night tem-
perature of 60 to 65 degrees, but do all
the forcing you can now rather than
nearer Easter, and remember that while
you can get from $8 to $12.50 per hun-
dred for buds and flowers before Easter,
they are worth but little after that date.
Therefore hurry them along all you can
oow.
Pansies.
Pansies carried over the winter in
coldframes should now have the mulch
of dry leaves over them removed. Give
them a watering with the hose and firm
any which frost may have heaved. Air
freely, but keep the sashes closed on
cold nights. These plants will furnish
early flowers, and plants in small bas-
kets, a dozen in each, will be found sal-
able. The same holds true of myosotis
and double daisies. Do not be in too
much of a hurry about removing mulch
over the plants outdoors. March is a
notoriously treacherous month. One day
of heat reminds us of the tropics, but is
followed by an arctic wave. If your
mulch was somewhat heavy and snows
have packed it down solid, remove a
little of it, but go slowly about uncov-
ering pansies, violas, Canterbury bells,
foxgloves, daisies, forget-me-nots and
beds of bulbous plants.
Amaryllises.
It is possible to have amaryllises in
bloom over quite a long season by keep-
ing the dormant bulbs in a cool, dry
house or shed, a few degrees above freez-
ing. Amaryllises are beginning to have
more commercial value. One grower
wholesaled all his spikes at $12 per
dozen this season. This is not an extrav-
agant price for good hybrids, but as
many plants produce two spikes they
pay fairly well.
The plants should have some of the
old surface soil removed and be given
a top-dressing of fibrous loam and old
cow manure before starting up. Any
that are badly potbound should be care-
fully repotted; be sure to give them good
drainage. Give the plants a tempera-
ture of 60 degrees when started. It will
not take the flower stalks long to ap-
pear. Move the plants into somewhat
cooler quarters as the flowers open. For
shipping it is always best to cut the
spikes before the blooms become fully
developed. They will open well in
water.
Snapdragons.
Snapdragons in the benches now are
throwing up a fine crop of stout shoots
for spring flowering. If you want fancy
spikes, cut out the weakest of these,
but if your trade calls for small to me-
dium stalks, do not trouble to do this.

A General View of the Highly Successful Spring Flower Show at St. Louis.
Plants which have been in the benches
since last fall will have well exhausted
the soil now, so give them a mulch of
sheep manure or well decayed cow ma-
nure. This will help to keep the
benches from drying out rapidly, as
well as stimulate the plants. Snap-
dragons now carry an abundance of
nice, stocky cuttings. Take oflF and
propagate a good batch of these; they
will ^ make salable plants for bedding
out in May. Many people do not half
appreciate the value of snapdragons as
bedding plants. As a matter of fact,
they are among our most useful sum-
mer-flowering outdoor plants.
DETROIT, MICH.
The Market.
The market last week found plenty
of everything, except American Beau-
ties and special Russell roses. St. Pat-
rick's day business cleaned up great
quantities of white carnations, roses,
peas and violets, and other stock sold
well. Choice snapdragons come to the
market and find a ready sale. Darwin
tulips and irises have made their ap-
pearance and clear leadily.
Various Notes.
Philip Breitmeyer and Frank Danzer
attended the shows in the east.
William Carter, of W. L. Rock Flower
Co., Kansas City, Mo., stopped off in De-
troit, on his way to New York.
Lewis Neubeck, of the L. H. Neu-

now in the employ of J. Breitmeyer 's

Sassenheim, Holland. — Westerbeek &
Klyn, who had three men in America
last season, have eight travelers there
this year.
Yokoliama, Japan. — Robert Fulton, of
Henry & Lee, New York, who has been
here for several months, contrary to his
custom will not return to the United
States this summer.
Copenhagen, Denmark. — There still are
several millions of Hamburg valley pips
in the hands of Danish dealers who have
not been able to ship them. It is report-
ed here the German growers will produce
few pips in 1917.
Sassenheim, Holland. — It is said that
Westerbeek & Klyn established a virtual
control of the gladiolus market by the
purchase early in the season of prac-
tically all the unpledged bulbs in Hol-
land of the varieties called for by the
American trade. The U-boat situation
has interfered with their plans. They
had about 400 cases on the Nieuw Am-
sterdam when it sailed Jate in January
and returned a few days later.
London, England.— The new British
Wholesale Florists' Federation has been
before the Imports Restriction Com-
mittee of the government to secure the
exclusion of flowers of Dutch bulbs,
the importation of the bulbs themselves
having been stopped last autumn.
Rotterdam, Holland,— The inclination
of the government to cause the laying
up of Dutch ships rather than expose
them to attacks by U-boats is creating
a stir in many other countries, but no
class is hit harder than the Dutch ex-
porters of bulbs and nursery stock. Only
a small part of the usual spring ship-
ments of nursery stock have gone for-
ward, and there still are quantities of
gladiolus bulbs to be forwarded, with
the fall bulb season only a few months
away, and freight piling up every day.
The blockade may begin to diminish
at any time, but some change must oc-
cur soon or the spring nursery stock will
not move in time to be of any use to
the American trade, and until the block-
ade breaks the bulb shipments will be in
doubt.

last season, have eight travelers there
this year.
Yokohama, Japan. — Robert Fulton, of
Henry & Lee, New York, wlio has been
here for several months, contrary to his
custom will not return to the United
States this summer.
Copenhagen, Denmark. — There still are
several millions of Hamburg valley pips
in the hands of Danish dealers who have
not been able to ship them. It is report-
ed here the German growers will produce
few pips in 1917.
Sassenheim, Holland. — It is said that
Westerbeek it Klyii cst.-iblished a virtual
control of the gladiolus market by the
purchase early in the season of prac-
tically all the unpledged bulbs in Hol-
land of the varieties called for by the
Americiin trade. The U boat situ.'ition
has interfered with their plans. They
h.'id nbout 100 cases on the Nieuw Am-
sterdam when it sailed .late in January
and returned a few davs later.
London, England.-- -The new British
Wholesale Florists' Federation has been
before the Imports Restriction Com-
mittee of the government to secure the
extlusioii of flowers of Dutch bulbs,
the importation of the bulbs themselves
having been stopped last autumn.
Rotterdam, Holland.— The inclination
of the governn.v'iit to cause the laying
up of Dutch ships rather than expose
them to attacks by U-boats is creating
a stir in many other countries, but no
class is hit harder than the Dutch ex-
porters of bulbs and nursery stock. Only
a small part of the usual' spring ship-
ments of nursery stock have gone for-
ward, and there still are quantities of
gladiolus bulbs to be forwarded, with
the fall bulb season only a few months
away, and freight piling up every day.
The blockade may begin to diminish
at any time, but some change must oc-
cur soon or the spring nursery stock will
not move in time to be of 'any use to
the American trade,, and until the block-
ado breaks the bulb shipments will bo in
doubt.

NEW FEENCH HYDEANGEAS.
Excellent Easter Plants.
A most instructive exhibit at the
Pennsylvania Horticultural Society 's
spring show, held in Horticultural hall,
Philadelphia, this week, March 20 to
22, is the group of French hydrangeas
grown by Henry A. Dreer, Inc., at the
Eiverview range of greenhouses. The
plants, mostly 2 years old, are all in 11-
inch tubs. They are in full bloom, well
finished and present a handsome appear-
ance. They afford an excellent oppor-
shoot, and, being a constant grower, thus becomes
practically cverblooming. Add to this tlie fact
that it lins been proven unusually hardy and we
find we have a Kort we can cordially recommend
for outdoor planting.
Lilie Mouillere — Wonderfully substantial, fairly
early, unusually symmetrical as to growth; color
a bright, cheerful carmine.
Mme, Augusta Nonin — A decidedly distinct
shell ])ink and a most vigorous plant; light fo-
liage.
Beaute Vendomoise — A vast improvement on the
fertile-flowered Mariesi; the attractive fringe of
sterile flowerets around the fertile center malte it
interesting as well as attractive.
Mme. Leyon — Great, heavy trusses of waxy
white flowers are Iwrne on vigorous stallis. We
consider it one of the most promising white va-
rieties.
-Mousselene, Mme. E. Mouillere, Radiant. Gen-
Hydrangea Lilie Mouillere.
tunity for comparison of varieties, new
and older, an opportunity that is of
great value to growers of Easter plants.
The group proves that every one of the
varieties can be easily force<l into bloom
for the earliest possible Easter, March
23. E. H. Michel, hydrangea expert of
Henry A. Dreer, Inc., has kindly fur-
nished the following notes for the read-
ers of The Review.
Baby Bimbenet— Have watched this wonder-
fully interestinR variety for five years with con-
stantly increasing appreciation of its superior
worth as a reliable early i)ot plant. Its compact
habit in connection with its free and early flower-
ing proiiensity ma ices it unsurpassed for early
Easter and market purposes.
Mme. Foucard — Words fail to permit a proper
dettnition of the variations in the peculiar shades
of pink or rose that differentiate the various
French hydrangeas. Mme. Koucard is deeper in
color, rather more red tiian E. G. Hill; there is
more fire in it. Its panicles are compact and
somewhat irregular, yet inclined to be conical.
As a whole this promises to be a sensational
novelty when introduced, as hoped, in 1918.
Louis Foucard — Really great, but not quite so
majestic as Mme. Foucard.
Mile, Lucienne Chaure — A delightfully soothing
delicate rose with large, compact, flat panicles
of beautifully rounded fringed florets. Exquisite
reflnei.-ent is its greatest virtue, yet the plant is
Tigorous and floriferous.
E. Or, Hill — Not a novelty, yet not sufficiently
well known nor appreciated. One of the earliest;
a positive bloomer. It has great, full trusses of
a most pleasing rose pink. Every shoot has a
flower.
Mont Rose — A delicate rosy pinlc; large trusses,
freely produced. It blooms from practically every
•■ral <ie Vibraye, Mile. Rene Gaillard, Mme. Mau-
rice llamar, Souv. de. Mme. B. Chautard and
,\valanche are eight reliable standard sorts. They
may bo depended upon to give satisfaction.
To impress the reader with the value
of the above notes it may be added that
all the varieties described were grown
by Mr. Michel personally.
A Substitute for Azaleas?
When James J. Karins, western repre-
sentative of Henry A. Dreer, Inc., was
asked to select the best novelty from
among these French hydrangeas, he
chose Mme. Auguste Nonin, on account
of the charming contrast between its
delicate flowers and pale green foliage.
The thought suggested by these lovely
plants is that in their beauty and va-
riety of color and shades of color may
be found an acceptable substitute,
should need be, for the azalea as an
Easter plant. Phil.
NEW YOEK.
The Market.
' ' Show week is always dull ' ' — so say
they all. The last week was no excep-
tion to the rule, and, to add to its bur-
den, a heavy rain March 17 quenched
all financial hopes. The retail demand
was extremely light and has been dur-
ing all of March to date. Any advance
in values before Easter seems out of the
question.
American Beauties give indications of
having reached their top, and it is re-
markable how long they have main-
tained their 75 cent value even for the
choice selected. All the other roses are
held at about the same quotations as
those of the previous week. Hadley is
growing constantly in favor. All the
novelties hold well for choice flowers
and the short-stemmed blooms have not
gone lower than $10 per thousand. The
street merchants were handicapped by
both snow and rain.
Carnations • are becoming unusually
plentiful, but prices up to date have
been maintained. The best are selling
at $3 per hundred. In large purchases
the medium-grade stock does not sell
for more than $10 per thousand. Busi-
ness is expected to rally after the flower
show closes and spring weather comes
to stay.
A few longiflorum lilies advanced to
8 cents last week, but most of them
find their level at $6 per hundred. Val-
ley holds at the quotations of the last
four weeks, the best of it not bringing
over $4 per hundred. Gardenias are in
surplus now and lower in price, especi-
ally for the mediocre shipments, which
sell as low as $5 per hundred. There
are plenty of orchids and the prices
have not changed. Occasionally 50
cents is asked but seldom received. The
bulk of them go at $20 to $30 per hun-
dred.
Violets are slightly firmer, on account
of the bad weather for the street men,
through whom most of the arrivals are
now distributed. The surplus of tulips
is larger. Only the choice varieties
bring prices satisfactory to the growers.
The low grades meet with no demand,
even from the street merchants. Daffo-
dils are more in demand by the ' * scaven-
gers," and these, with sweet peas and
violets, constitute fakers' stock in
trade. Callas are no longer scarce.
Freesias are about gone. A few may
last until Easter. Southern gladioli soon
will be followed by southern daffodils.
There is an abundance of pansies,
daisies and mignonette, and no diminn-
tion in the sweet pea flood.
Various Notes.
The executive committee of the
S. A. F. had a happy and harmonious
meeting here March 16 and 17. Presi-
dent Kerr impressed all who had the
pleasure of meeting him with his prac-
ticality and enthusiasm. Ex-president
MacRorie came all the way from the
Golden Gate and says he will be back
again for the August convention.
The Kervan Co. is credited with the
first arrival of arbutus.
W. E. Maynard, Recently in the nurs-
ery business at Great Neck Station, is
about to open a cut flower store there.
The big rain storm made St. Patrick 's
day a sad memory for the 30,000 Irish
paraders on Fifth avenue. Many whole-
salers disposed of vast numbers of sham-
rocks. C. C. Trepel said that at whole-
sale and in his many stores the total sales
of small pots were close to half a mil-
lion.
The plant auctions open later than
usual this year, on account of the lack
of importations.
March 13 Jack Trepel celebrated the
second anniversary of his wedding.
John R. Walsh, of the Anglin & Walsh
Co., Williamsbridge, N. Y., left recently

SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS
FOR SOUTHERN FLORISTS
CARNATIONS IN THE SOUTH.
The first requisite in planting out is
to have the ground in first-class shape
for the purpose. Two systems are fa-
vored and both are good. Some growers
plow the field in the fall and leave it
in the rough all winter, so that the
frost will get a chance to disintegrate
it. Another, and, I think, a better way,
is to sow the field down with a cover
crop, such as red clover or rye, and turn
it under at the spring plowing. This
plan has the advantage of adding fiber
and humus to the soil, which, in the
south, is deficient in both, and no manure
is required, although a dressing of fine
bone or commercial guano will give
added benefits. The soil in most of the
carnation belt in the south is of rather
a stiff texture and must not be too wet
when worked. Where the soil is of a
light and sandy nature the moisture is
not likely to be bothersome. After
plowing, the field should be thoroughly
disked, going over it often enough to
pulverize the big lumps. This should
be followed with a smoothing harrow.
The whole must be quite fine, to enable
the young plants to make a good start.
Where ground is not plentiful the
plants ean be set out, 6x8 inches, in beds
four feet wide, with an 18-inch walk
between each bed. The soil in these
walks should be dug out and thrown on
the beds, rounding them up to shed
water on both sides. A depth of two
or three inches is all that need be dug
out. Such beds, of course, can only be
worked with a small hand cultivator.
When plants are to be worked with a
wheel cultivator the rows should be six-
teen to eighteen inches apart and the
plants eight to ten inches apart in the
rows. In setting the plants out it is
better to have the balls just a trifle
above rather than below the surface.
The plants should be well watered before
being set out and if you are fortunate
enough to get a good shower immediate-
ly after planting, the most critical stage
is past. A sprinkling system is really a
necessity in many states in the south
which are deficient in rainfall during
early and midsummer months. Such a
system is a money-making investment.
ST. Loxns.
The Market.
Considering that we are in the midst
of the Lenten season, the market
showed a lot of activity all last week,
^ome days the trade was really rushing.
Stock of all kinds was plentiful and all
orders could be filled. All of our local
growers are in full crop.
During the week we found the rose
crop becoming more plentiful and some
fine Ophelia, Russell, Sunburst and Kil-
larneys, for which the demand was
large, were seen daily. Carnations are
abundant in all varieties. Whites had
a big call March 15 to 17 for greening
for St. Patrick's day and the price
jumped to $4 per hundred on extra
choice. In other colors $3 per hundred
was the price. Sweet peas are coming
in well and an abundance of fancy
Spencers is seen daily. There is an
overproduction of the common sorts,
which have little demand, and sell cheap
in thousand lots. The bulbous stock is
at its height. Jonquils, Von Sions, val-
ley, callas, tulips and Dutch hyacinths
are abundant. There will be plenty of
Easter lilies from now on.
The shortage in plumosus and Spren-
geri causes a big demand for other
greens. Wild smilax sold well last
week.
Various Notes.
G. A. Knapp, of Nevada, Mo., presi-
dent of the Missouri State Florists' As-
sociation, was a visitor at the big show
last week. Mr. Knapp says the State
Florists' Association is in good shape
and expects a large attendance at the
annual meeting at Columbia, Mo., in
August.
Chas. Meier, of Kirkwood, Mo., is
bringing in some superb Spencer peas
and carnations. The peas are grown
cooler than with the majority of the
growers and possess great substance.
James North has a pretty flower store
at the old stand vacated by Alex. John-
son at the loop in Wellston. Mr. North
reports that business lias been great all
this month, especially in funeral work.
H. J. Weber & Sons Nursery Co. has
issued the annual spring catalogue
known as the Weber Guide. Frank
Weber says advance orders will keep
an extra force busy when the weather
permits digging.
Young Bros. Floral Co., on Waterman
avenue, and Sanders Nurseries Co., on
Clara avenue, have pretty blooming dis-
plays in their big show houses. They
report good business and an excellent
demand for plants of all kinds.
The volume of mail orders coming
to the St. Louis Seed Co., C. Young &
Sons Co. and Schisler-Corneli Seed Co.
last week, for seeds, bulbs and plants,
indicates a busy season. The fine
weather last week stimulated trade.
Ostertag Bros, report a great deal of
decorating work for spring openings.
J. J. Burke, in charge of the cut flow-
er department, says business is excep-
tionally good in his department, con-
sidering the Lentan season.
The Lady Florists' Home Circle held
its regular monthly meeting at the home
of Mrs. Theodore Miller, on Delmar ave-
nue, March 14. For the April meeting,
Mrs. J. J. Beneke will entertain the
circle at her home, 3648 Humphrey
street.
In the stores of the leading downtown
florists we see some pretty window dis-
plays, especially those of the Mullan-
phy Flower Co., Grimm & Gorly and
F. J. Foster. They say that transient
business during the last week was large,
special sales being on for each day.
The South Grand avenue florists say
that the Lenten season has made little
difference to them. M. Eggeling,
Windier 's Flowers, C. E. Schoenle, C.
Bergstermann and Chas. Beyer have at-
tractive window displays daily.

A HANDSOME vase of Kudolph Fisch-

orates the editor's desk. It came safely

tor's place at San Gabriel, Cal.
Speaking of fancy frills for flower
festivals, there were several good ones at
this week's rose show at Philadelphia.
Among other features, Victor Herbert, the
composer, wrote a waltz in honor of the
festival and dedicated it to the American
Bose Society. It was played for the
first time at the opening session of the
show, the composer himself conducting
the first rendition.
The daily papers of New York city re-
cently have been giving prominence to
the efforts of representatives of the Fed-
eration for the Support of Jewish Philan-
thropic Societies to cause the discontinu-
ance of the use of flowers at Jewish fu-
nerals, and the conversion of the money to
charitable uses. Every little while an agi-
tation of this character breaks out in
some city in which The Review has read-
ers who are alarmed thereby, but the
sentiment attaching to the use of flowers
at the time of death is so strong that no
Buch agitation ever has accomplished
more than a small part of its purpose,
and all heretofore have quickly subsided.
The less opposition the sooner the agita-
tion dies.
One of the first duties of a show pub-
licity committee should be to provide
"features" that will serve as good ma-
terial for write-ups in the papers. Some-
thing original always makes a hit with
the reporters — hence, free publicity. At
New York's big show this week a carna-
tion named in honor of Major General
Leonard Wood, an orchid named for Major
General Pershing, a pair of orchids named
after the President and Mrs. Wilson,
were the "features" provided by the
show management as fodder for the news-
papers, a;id as a result the advance press
notices of the show were many.
Since the nation-wide home-gardening
propaganda started, as a means to meet
the increasing cost of food, the Depart-
ment of Agriculture at Washington has
been swamped with hundreds of thousands
of requests for free seeds. The free seeds
provided by Congress are distributed as
members of Congress themselves direct,
and this year's supply of about $200,000
worth was long ago exhausted. Evidently
hundreds of thousands of people who
wanted free seeds now will have to ex-
pend coin of the realm over the seeds-
man's counter. It is likely that retail
seedsmen this year will find it harder than
ever before to handle the counter trade
during the few big weeks. Perhaps many
a florist will get his finger in the pie, too,
providing he tells the people about his
seed department.
CLUB PLANS PUBLICITY.
The Chicago Florists' Club announces
that it will carry on a national plan of
cooperative advertising for Mothers'
day under the direction of F. Lauten-
schlager, 444 West Erie street, Chicago.
Full particulars will be given later.

When they advertise in The Eeview
they are pleased with the results and
the editor is glad they are pleased. The
only kickers are the postmasters. They
get tired handling the mail The Review
brings to advertisers. Read these:
Please cut out my geranium ad, as I haye to
return checks and the postmaster is getting tired
handling my mail from only one week's ad. —
C. W. Seibert, Hlcksyille, 0.. March 9, 1917.
Gently remove that Impatiens ad. It did the
work In abort order. Had 2,600 In stock and am
now returning the money. Hard luck. — W. W.
Rike, Le Roy, 111., March 13, 1917.
Kindly discontinue writer's advertisement In
your "For Sale" columns, rendering bill for
same at the next Issue. We are pleased to ad-
vise that the results have been satisfactory and
that we will be glad to Insert another advertise-
ment July 1 for the fall heating system over-
hauling.— James V. Colpitts, Philadelphia. Pa..
March 8. 1917.
When you hear a man complain of the
cost of advertising you can be pretty
certain he spends a good bit of money
elsewhere than in The Review.
WHO'S WHO?
It is entirely proper that trade prices
be not given to those who are not en-
gaged in the trade as a means of liveli-
hood. The Review does its part by con-
fining its circulation, as closely as is
humanly possible, to those in the busi-
ness. But it would take a Solomon to
draw the line. When the government
took its last census it classed as florists
all those deriving twenty per cent of
their annual incomes from the sale of
plants or flowers. It is not a rule the
wholesale florist could apply. But it
shows why there is request for whole-
sale prices from those whose status is in
doubt. There never is any question
about the man who is wholly in or whol-
ly out; the question is as to the price
to be made the man who is only on the
edge of the trade, part florist, part some-
thing else.
A BIT OF OLD ROME.
At the National Flower Show in
Philadelphia in March, 1916, the Public
Ledger offered a handsome silver cup
for the best arrangement of flowers
suitable for photographing and repro-
duction as the front page of the Sunday
pictorial section of that paper. The
prize was awarded to Charles Henry
Fox and the picture was a beautiful
feature of the Public Ledger of April 6,
1916. It is the title page of this
spring's Show Number of The Review.
PARIS GREEN STILL GOING UP.
Paris green advanced 2 cents per
pound in the wholesale market during
the last week. The causes for the rise,
given by the manufacturers, were the
high cost and smallness of the supplies
of basic materials, principally arsenic.
The new price basis for kegs is 34 cents
per pound.
SYSTEM FOR FLORISTS.
It has been said that the flower busi-
ness is a personal affair, not susceptible
of systematizing like a department
store; that the spasmodic character of
the demand and the feast-or-famine na-
ture of the supply make it impossible
to do business by rule. But we don't
see why it should.
System has been the principal means
by which large establishments have been
developed in other lines of production
and merchandising and it seems im-
probable that any florist's business will
develop beyond the limit of one man's
capacity for detail or become a per-
manent asset until system has been ap-
plied to it.
That system has not sooner become
a factor in the flower business has been
due to three factors: The good
margin of profit, which made conserva-
tion of resources unnecessary; manage-
ment by the founder, who was familiar
with all details, and limited size of the
business, permitting personal attention.
But even a small business without sys-
tem bumps along with many a jolt and
jerk that would be avoided if a little
thought were given to avoiding the
rough places. And today the florists who
are making the best prog^'ess are the
ones who are studying system.
CHICAGO.
The Market.
The railroad strike, which lowered
threateningly last week, sent a thrill
through the shipping business March 16
and 17. Out-of-town buyers, afraid of
not receiving their shipments, clamored
frantically and all possible means were
used to get orders out. City business,
though not so keen as shipping trade,
was nevertheless beyond complaint and
March 19, in fact, ^aw one of the best
days the trade has enjoyed in some time.
Reports on St. Patrick's day business
vary somewhat in character, but the
prevailing opinion has it that business
was good; better, however, in the ship-
ping line than with the local trade, the
day seemingly being observed more in
other cities than here. Many entertain-

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.
CORSAGE FLOWERS
There has been a big increase in the call for corsages for the
Easter parade— be prepared.
We offer colored Freesia, the largest supply of Valley in
America, all colors of Spencer Sweet Peas and the cream of the
crops of Violets — the largest and best supply of Violets we ever
have had at Easter. Order enough.
EASTER LILIES
We can offer special inducements on short to medium Lilies —
make it worth your while to handle a quantity.
Our Lilies are packed at the greenhouse, 100 in each
wood box, so they reach you without rehandling.
FANCY CARNATIONS
You will find here the largest supply of strictly fancy Carna-
tions in this market — and you know th3 later the Easter the more
important it is to handle only the best grade. All colors.
RUSSELL and ROSES
Our RusseDs are in a class by themselves, but for that matter
our Ophelia, White Killarney, Killarney Brilliant, Mrs. Ward and
Milady and Sunburst are recognized as without superiors anywhere
in this country. Our "select" grade is as good as most houses offer
as "specials."
BULBOUS STOCK
Plenty of Tulips, single and double; Jonquils, Daffodils, etc.
Order some Darwin Tulips— all the leading Chicago retailers use
our Darwins and find them indispensable.
GREENS OF ALL KINDS
Greens are scarce, but we have moderate supplies of even
the scarcest kinds and can keep our customers going. Our
Ferns are the best in country, $3.50 per 1000.

ments called for dcporative stock, while
anything that could be dyed green, as
white carnations, roses or tulips, sold
well. Those who held their white car-
nations too high found it difficult to
clean up, as the buyers do not take thou-
sand lots for dyeing.
American Beauties remain unchanged.
The market on other roses appears to be
possessed of more snap than the week
previous and indications point to an ad-
vance in prices. The quality generally
is good. The carnation market is not
so satisfactory and stock is dragging
somewhat, the demand being not large
enough to take care of the supply.
The situation on bulbous stock is lit-
tle improved; in fact, not much change
from the week previous is to be noted.
Jonquils are plentiful, but sell slowly,
as the outdoor stock from the south
has arrived. Tulips, except Darwins,
also drag. Extra fine Easter lilies sell
well, but shorter and poorer quality

Greens continue scarce.
Easter Prospects.
The weather has been far from spring-
like, but the decreased production it
has caused has only strengthened the
belief that there will be abundant sup-
plies of stock for Easter. Stock that
might have been off with a warm, early
spring will be in good supply.
There seems to be no possibility of a
shortage in lilies. There were larger
supplies of bulbs than usual this .season
and everybody's lilies will be in. The
only trouble will be that most lots of
lilies arc short to medium stem.
Eoses will be in good supply and of
excellent quality. Carnations will not
be in as heavy crop as in some other
vears, but no one seems to have got ex-

Easter. If violets fail, there will be
large supplies of sweet peas, which sell
equally well for corsages for the Easter
parade. Bulbous stock will be unusually
plentiful for an April Easter.
Pot lilies are abundant, many plants
being too short to cut. Azaleas are
about done, but there are many roses.
Bulbous stock in pots, pans and boxes
will be the staple of the plant market.
Various Notes.
F. J. Benthey last week placed an
order with the John C. Moninger Co. for
material with which to rebuild at once
about half the tornadoed range at New-
castle and plans are under consideration
for not only rebuilding the rest of the
place but for adding five houses to it.
It is an open secret that the Lord &
Burnham Co. is considering extensive
additions to its factory at Des Plaines.
The establishment has been doubled in
size since the start. The plana now
under consideration grow out of the fact
that the company's boiler foundries in
the east have been working at capacity
and the question is as to an addition in
the east or the building of a new foun-
dry at Des Plaines. If it is decided to
build in the west it will mean an addi-
tion of $200,000 to the investment here.
Emil Reichling severed his connection
with Peter Reinberg's March 17. Mr.
Reichling was in the employ of Peter
Reinberg for nearly seventeen years, the
last seven years of which he was in full
charge of the greenhouses.
In order to give more room to its cut
flower department, the A. L. Randall

South Wabash avenue. This building
will be used for manufacturing and

show room purposes, in addition to the

The Market.
Last week we had another holiday
of special interest to the trade in Louis-
ville. St. Patrick's day heretofore has
been marked by the sale of a few green
carnations and a few shamrocks, and in
no way could be called an extra busy
day. The one just passed has shown
a decided change, as all hands were busy
from morning until night, and an excel-
lent demand for table decorations and
corsage bouquets, as well as for appro-
priate boxes, was indeed gratifying to
the Louisville florists. Green and white
combinations were used in all forma of
work, calling for quantities of carna-
tions, narcissi, roses and hyacinths. A
diminished call for the freakish green
carnations has given way for some truly
desirable and artistic creations, bring-
ing out the better features of the flow-
ers, instead of making them hideous.
Some extra fine forget-me-nots have
appeared on the market and have in-
creased sales to some extent. They are
always cleaned up from day to day.
Although great quantities of Spencer
sweet peas are being sold every day, the
demand never meets the supply. As a
result many are going to the dump;
the wholesale price stands at 50 cents
per hundred. From all reports, it is
believed that the supply of giganteum
lilies will be suflQcient for Easter, but
at present they are hard to obtain from
local growers. By reason of this the old
favorites, callas, are coming into their
own again, large numbers being used in
the heavy funeral work of last week.
Along with the spring weather comes
an increasing supply of roses and car-
nations, but it seems the demand keeps
pace with the quantities brought in.
The supply of all of the bulbous plants
is on the increase, and these are meet-
ing with a splendid sale. Many tulips
are used in the numerous funeral pieces
prepared daily. Landscape work is now
calling the attention of those interested
in that line of business. Many hand-
some orders have been booked, although
the season has not opened yet.

business.

The Market.
An uiioxpcctediy strong tone prevails
in the cut flower market. Business is
active, at fair prices. There is a moder-
ate supply of flowers that generally sell
readily. Easter lilies have been some-
what dull. The poorer tulips are neg-
lected. Daffodils sell cheaply, but they
sell, often in thousand lots, to many
usually modcratf buyers. Violets are
cheap. Beauties liave declined in price,
a sure sign of an oncoming crop. Other
roses are holding their own in price.
Sweet ])eas continue fine; they realize
prices that are moderate considering the
extra gooil quality. White carnations
advanced under the influence of St.
Patrick 's day demand to $4 and $5, a
few even to $G per hundred.
Really good Asi)aragus plumosus

in the description of each, less attention
being given to the mainstays of the busi-

shades of yellow. This novelty of last
year ia peculiarly suitable for Easter.
There is a sentiment about the primrose
that is enhanced by the richness of
these shades of yellow, some delicate,
some striking. It may be remembered
that when these yellow primroses made
their appearance at the National Flower
Show in Philadelphia last March, they
received a gold medal. The crowded
condition of the hall prevented many
people from seeing them, because they
were removed to the lobby to make room
for the sweet peas. Todav these i)rim-
roses are the glory of Norwood, a sight
not quickly forgotten. The next tri-
umph of culture at this place is seen
in the Otaheite orange; not just a few
of these shapely little plants,' with their
exquisitely fragrant flowers, but rows,
rows and rows of them, as even as sol-
diers, and all well filled with blossoms.
An old friend revived is Impatiens Sul-
tani; it is well liked here. Another re-
introduced plant is Pelargonium Easter
Greeting.
The roses promise well. There is a
great quantity of the rambler type.

American Beauty roses have often
been talked about and experimented
With by the Aschmann brothers. Now
they have a fine batch of well-timed
plants of this great rose.
The hydrangeas show that the four
iirench varieties grown are highly es-
teemed. The plants are evenly set with

considering the unhappy European con-

gonia luminosa. The bulbs have win-
tered well. Great numbers of potted
daffodils and hyacinths were just com-
ing in from outside.
Last come the lilies. There are 8,000
of them, all Lilium giganteum — an ex-
tremely nice looking lot of plants that
range in sizes from short, through me-
dium, to tall. Perhaps the impression
made by these lilies is increased by see-
ing first what Aschmann Bros, call their
culls. They were pretty fair; then their
stock of medium height, and lastly their
special lilies, which were best of all.

The last month has been an unusual
one, the weather having been most er-
ratic. A week ago we were in the
throes of a flood; the week before that
we enjoyed the heaviest snowfall of
thirty years, at a time when we usually
have an abundance of flowers of all
kinds outdoors. Outdoor flowers have
seldom been so slow to open as this year,
I have kept a record for the last eight
years of the blooming time of the flow-
ers that compete with the florists' prod-
ucts, and, wliile tlie blooms were later
tlian usual last season, they are still
later tliis spring. As a result there has
been a heavy demand for all the bulb-
ous stock forced in the city. One of the
largest growers lemarked that his bulb-
OU.S stock had been his salvation this
spring, for without it lie would never
ha,veT»een able to fill all his orders. We
had a light flurry of snow this morning,
March 18. Daffodils are still scarce out-
doors, while most of the liyacinths as
yet are not in bloom.
It has been too wet for much work
of any kind outdoors. Tlie situation is
becoming serious, as gardeners and farm-
ers have been unable to attend to their
early jdanting and soon it will be too
late for several of the crops.
As to trade conditions, there is a
continuous and strong demand for flow-
ers, perhaps as good as there ever was
in the history of the trade. Besides,
there is an ever-growing wholesale ship-
ping business. The future of the busi-
ness appears especially briglit this
spring.

the Lischey Gardens in a rather uncer-
tain position. The decedent had no son
to carry on the business, and his widow
is, as yet, undecided what to do. She
is continuing the business at present
with the assistance of the old helpers.
Mr. Browne had a large and growing
business and the establishment is one
of the oldest in the entire south, hav-
ing been established long before the
war.

There is a plentiful supply of all kinds
of bulbous stock in the market. Both
cut stock and potted blooming plants
are selling exceptionally well, in spite
of the Lenten season. Boses are in-
creasing in supply, thanks to the warmer
weather and larger amount of sunshine.
American Beauties are in larger supply,
and prices are much better. Russell
roses are fairly plentiful and the prices
obtained are good. Ophelia is reaching
the market in splendid form; the same
is true of Shawyer. Carnations are
in large supply, but the prices are hold-
ing up well. Easter lilies are increasing
in numbers and callas are holding their

A good Easter business is anticipated

Heavy orders are being booked for

A motion was decided that the club
members advertise cooperatively for
Mothers' day, and that a committee be
appointed by the president to take
charge of this matter. It also was
moved to hold exhibits of cut flowers at
four meetings during the year. The
plans for the annual flower show, which
will be held this fall, were discussed, and
a committee was appointed by the presi-
dent to take care of the management
and details. An animated discussion
with regard to raising prices for Easter
on all cut flowers, blooming and foliage
plants followed, and prices were ver-
bally agreed on by all the florists of the
organization. Refreshments were
served during the social hour that fol-
lowed the business meeting, Herman
Leitz and Henry Freese performing the
duties of hosts. The attendance was
exceptionally large. The next meeting
of the club will be held at the residence
of Judge W. J. "Vesey, on the third
Wednesday in April, April 18, since the
second Wednesday comes during Easter
week.
Various Notes.
Mrs. R. W. Dpswell is suffering from
stomach trouble and probably will sub-
mit to an operation shortly. The Doswell
Floral Co. is showing some splendid
Spencer sweet peas at its greenhouses.
It has some excellent stock for Easter,
including some fine Tausendschon and
rambler roses. The company enjoys a
considerable out-of-town trade, and has
an advantageous location, opposite the
interurban station. Miss Bonnie Dos-
well is now at the store the entire time.
The Flick Floral Co. had charge of
the decorations for the spring opening
of a large men 's furnishing store last
week. Many baskets and vases were
filled with Easter lilies, Shawyer and
Ophelia roses and spring flowers. Thou-
sands of roses and spring flowers were
given away to the public. Mass Marie
Markey, bookkeeper for the Flick Floral
Co., has been on the sick list.
Mrs. Henry Freese, of the New Haven
Floral Co., is confined to her home by a

INDIAKAPOUS.
The Market.
Local florists differ in their opinion as
to St. Patrick's day business. Some
say that it was not up to the standard
of previous years, while others claim
that their business was exceptionally
good. Perhaps this was mostly the
result of advantageous location. All
the florists seem to feel, however, that
the green carnation has lost some of its
popularity.
Carnations are more plentiful and
bring from $2 to $4; splits make $1.50
per hundred. Most of the white vari-
eties bring $4, thanks to the large de-
mand for funeral work. Roses are still
in short supply. Lilies, however, both
Easter and calla, are more plentiful and
make from $1 to $1.50 per dozen. Sweet
peas remain popular and plentiful, with
the extra fancies at $1.50. Freesias are
nearly over with, but more snapdragons
are coming in to fill the gap. Bulbous
stock is in good supply and receives
great attention. Jonquils are good
property at $2.50 and $3 per himdred.
March continues cold and blustery,
although the sun has been more regular
in its appearance. Most of the i^ter
stock is now in and the indications are
that there will be a full supply of every-
thing.
Miscellaneous stock includes mignon-
ette, and violets, which are equal to the
demand, yellow daisies, pansies and ca-
lendulas. Potted plants have been espe-
cially attractive and popular this sea-
son. Hyacinths have moved extremely
well, while azaleas, primroses, tulips,
begonias and cinerarias have found a
ready sale. A new item in the potted
class was a few excellent genistas, which
sold immediately. Green goods con-
tinue in limited supply, but prospects
are bright for a larger quantity as
warmer weather arrives.
A Visit to Newcastle.
A visit to Peter Weiland's range, at
Newcastle, was pleasurable and profit-
able. There the carnations, in numerous
colors and varieties, including P. J.

A Wonderful
Easter Novelty
"THE BEE
5>
will without doubt "bee" the largest selling flo-
rists' novelty that has yet been used.
The "Bee" is the newest, most artistic and at-
tractive thing you can have in your store.
The "Bee" is by nature a flower lover, and
wherever you see a "bee" you see flowers. Then
why not have a "bee" buzzing around the flowers
of milady's corsages, among tbe potted plants, and
on handles of baskets, or on vases and bowls?
The latest table decorations will literally be "bee" hives, as they are used on water glasses, elates; even on tbe fruit you will find
them. Now then, can you fail to see the usefulness of the busy "Bee?" You'll say it is a "Busy Bee" when you see the many attractive
ways it can be used. The "Bee" conies on 8-in. flexible wire for working in with your corsages— $2.00 per dozen, $23.00 per gross.
Or you can have the "Bee" just alone without wire for Sl.so per dozen, $20.50 per gross. We guarantee this article never to have been
shown before current issue of our catalogue. Then too. it's just the most natural new thing in the world— which suggests the coming
season. SAMPLE, POSTPAID, 20c - Stamps accepted.

Olinger's new Eailium, were in fine con-
dition. Several large houses devoted
entirely to sweet peas were a wonderful
sight — butterfly sweet peas of all colors
and shades reaching clear up to the roof.
Tlie people at Weiland's are congratu-
lating themselves that they were out of
the recent tornado's path. An employee
told how the tornado was headed toward
the range, but swerved when it hit the
valley. Two girls employed by Mr.
Weiland lost their homes and one boy
had his legs broken.
The Heller Bros. Co. rose houses were
also visited. Russell and Ojihelia are
especially promising. Several beds of
grafted roses are an interesting sight.

Various Notes.
Last week was a rather disastrous
one for the florists in the state. Kokomo
and Elwood growers experienced a se-
vere sleet storm, while Noblesville, An-
derson and Greenwood florists passed
through a terrific hail storm. Newcastle,
as reported in last week 's Review, was
visited by a tornado. Indianapolis flo-
rists were more favored and suffered
only from heavy rainfall and strong
winds. Bishop, of Greenwood, lost about
400 panes of glass; Heller, Lynch and
Benthey, all of Newcastle, as illustrated
in last week's issue, suffered losses;
John Rieman, of Indianapolis, had a big
plate glass window blown out, damag-
ing considerable stock.
Edward Reinkin, recently proprietor
of the Reinkin Floral Co., now is with
the Indianapolis Flower & Plant Co.
A. F. J. Baur has been in St. Louis
attending the flower show there, at
which he acted as judge.
The Oilar Flower Store, formerly con-
ducted under the title of Benson-Oilar
Co. and recently taken over by Marion
Peake, has discontinued business. The
entire stock was sold at auction
March L3.
L. F. Benson is erecting a store room
in front of his greenhouses at Twenty-
second street and Park avenue.
John Heidenreich 's hydrangeas are in
extra fine shape.
Jacob Meyers, formerly with the A.
Wiegand's Sons Co., has accepted a
position as head gardener and landscape
artist on the private estate of James
Allison.
John Grande, Jr., has a fine line of
lilies for Easter.
,The city market enjoyed a good St.
Patrick's day business. Plants were in
favor and a large number were moved
at fair prices. Baur & Steinkamp had
quite a run on their little pots of sham-
rocks.
Pahud Bros, had an attractive St.
Patrick's day window, featuring green
carnations and green sweet peas, set in
a background of smilax. E. E. T.

given to the Lord & Burnham Co. by
O. C. Barber.
Dillsburg, Pa. — There is going to be

The Market.
Business conditions were good last
week and worked up to a splendid cli-
max March 17. With rather disagree-
able weather intervening, St. Patrick's
day trade was considerably larger than
in previous years. A large quantity of
green carnations, tulips and roses were
disposed of, as well as potted sham-
rocks and other novelties. The Lenten
season so far has not made much differ-
ence to Rocliestcr florists. Weddings
and social functions have slackened
some, but funeral work holds up well.
The daily consignments are large and
an immense quantity of bulbous stock
arrives. However, it is cleared nicely
and little stock goes to waste. Fine Sir
Watkin, Golden Spur and Emperor jon-
quils reach us and sell fast. Double
daffodils have slackened up consider-
ably, but the demand is small, anyway.
Tulips of all shades are plentiful. Roses
also are quite plentiful and fine stock is
seen in Russell, Maryland, Hoosier
Beauty, Montrose, Ophelia and Ward.
The demand for each variety is quite
good. American Beauties are not over-
plentiful and only the extra long grade
is handled. The supply of carnations
has been quite large, with a heavy de-
mand on whites. The prices on them

are fairly good. Sweet peas are plenti-
ful and sell readily. A shortage on
whites and lavenders is still noticed.
The demand for orchids and gardenias is
not large. Valley has not been obtain-
able for about a week. Mignonette sells
fairly well. Frccsia moves slowly. For-
get-me-nots sell well. Violets have not
moved fast during the week, but the
Saturday specials cleared a large quan-
tity. There are many Easter and calla
lilies on the market at this season and
they are being used extensively for fu-
neral work. The stores arc well filled
with blooming plants of every descrip-
tion and the demand for them has been
quite large.
Various Notes.
Tlie St. Patrick's day windows as dec-
orated by the downtown florists were
attractive and undoubtedly brought
good returns. George T. Boucher showed
potted shamrocks in a harp frame. The
Eochester Floral Co. used a large sham-
rock leaf made of green frieze and filled
with shamrocks. H. E. Wilson displayed
green pigs, snakes, etc., with vases of
green flowers. Keller's setting was of
vases of flowers with an Irish harp as
the center of attraction. All stores re-
port good business for this event.
James Vick 's Sons are unusually busy
at this time at the warehouse. The mail
order business is considerably heavier
than in previous years. The greatest

larly when other economic conditions
are considered. Prices are about the
same as those of a year ago, but with
everything the florist uses advanced in
price, profits are necessarily reduced.
The outlook, however, is not at all bad
and everyone is optimistic over the com-
ing Easter trade.
Roses are quite abundant and are of
extra fine quality. Few Beauties are
seen, but the demand for them is not
Avhat it was a few years ago and they
are not missed as they would have been
before the advent of Hadley, Russell,
Ophelia and other present-day leaders.
Double White Killarney is now extra
fine. Ward is also a popular spring
rose. Prices are about the same as last
week. Carnations have averaged a lit-
tle better than a week ago. There was
a good call for whites March 17 for
dyeing purposes. I am glad that some
of our best retailers decline to handle
these mutilated flowers. It is dis-
creditable that so many continue to
carry them with their natural flowers.
Violets are abundant and average 50
cents per hundred. So are English
primroses. Dutch bulbous stock is at
flood tide. A few varieties of these
not seen at every stall are poetaz, Sul-
phur Phoenix and Glory of Leiden nar-
cissi and Muscari Heavenly Blue.
The supply of snapdragons is increas-

W yeart' experience in the floriat bushieaa goannteaa
tffictency to Uke care of all order*. 20 per cent aUowed
ing, but pink is the only color in much
demand. Lilies are not abundant; For-
mosa is seen on some stands. These, as
a rule, are of poor quality this season,
with shorter stems and smaller ilowers
than usual. Valley is abundant, but
of poor quality in the main. There is a
feeble demand for gardenias, but cat-
tlcyas move fairly well.
Green stock is temporarily scarce and
sells well. For St. Patrick 's day a fair
number of shamrocks were offered and
sold, but the demand for these seems
to sliow a steady decline.
Various Notes.
The big spring show at Horticultural
hall, which opened March 21, prom-
ises to eclipse any Boston has held
in the past, and a record attendance is
assured. Work on Farquhar 's garden
is now well advanced. This will be one
of the great features of the show and
seems likely to surpass all the com-
pany's previous efforts. Entries in all
classes are more numerous than ever and
the committee will find it difficult to
properly house everything. In addition
to special music, practical horticultural
talks are being arranged for, competent
men forming an information committee,
whose duty it will be to answer all ques-
tions. Some fine novelties are promised
for this show.
Henry R. Comley is showing some
extra fine amaryllises, clivias and Roman
anemones, which he has a large call for,
and large-flowered gladioli, magnolias
and other flowers not seen in the aver-
age store. Business here has been good
during the last winter. Mr. Comley
spent a few days in New York during
the Grand Central Palace show.
John McFarland, of North P^aston, has
10,000 lilies in fine condition for Easter.

A. M. HOSP, leading florist
He is cutting a fine lot of valley daily.
He grows cold storage giganteum lilies
in quantity and has a supply of these
the year around.
At Penn's March 17 one window was
loosely and charmingly arranged with
ericas in baskets, with a background of
white marguerites in pots. Other
baskets, of hyacinths, irises and hydran-
geas, were effective. This week they are
featuring photographs of weddings and
show a fine lot of brides' bouquets.
Many orders have been booked by this
store for Easter weddings and still more
for June. Penn's have a fine exhibit at
.the spring show this week.
Neil Boyle, of Maiden, had numerous
visitors to his greenhouses March 18 to
see his Easter lilies. Of these he has
15,000 in splendid condition. His rose
houses looked well. Double White Kil-
larney, Ophelia and Hoosier Beauty be-
ing specially good.
Visitors to the New York spring flower
show were less numerous this year, on
account of Boston having a big spring
show of its own.
P. Welch and one or two others went
to the Philadelphia rose show this week.

Thirty-flftb annual conTention, Detroit, JniM 18
to 21. 1817.
Taking it by and large, the seed busi-
ness n^ver was better than it is today.
That it will be a big season is certain.
Seedsmen find it difficult to supply
mdny of their wants, but the great body
of planters has no trouble — there is
' ' something just as good. ' '
It is estimated by a well informed Hol-
lander that the failure to receive the
spring importations will keep about 8,-
000,000 gladiolus bulbs off the American
market this season.
Everybody has planted or plans to
plant potatoes this season. In the south-
ern states the acreage is estimated by the
Department of Agriculture to have m-
creased seventeen per cent.
One man 's guess is as good as another 's,
but the opinion seems to prevail in New
York that there not only will be no spring
importations from Holland but that there
will be no Dutch bulbs this year.
No shipments of gladiolus bulbs or nur-
sery stock have left Holland since those
packed at the middle of January, for the
Nieuw Amsterdam January 28. If these
finally reach their destinations one can
imagine the condition bulbs, boxwoods,
etc., will be in.
The prices of Holland bulbs have be-
gun to waver. Begardless of the size of
tiie crop, the United States is the only
country in which it is possible to book ad-
vance orders and some of the salesmen
have found the pickings so poor they are
willing to talk price.
The home garden movement, and the
vacant-lot, community-gardening agita-
tion as an offset to the high cost of liv-
ing, has brought such increased demands
for free seeds that the share of the gov-
ernment purchases available to the De-
partment of Agriculture has been ex-
hausted.
There is a strong demand for canners '
kinds of peas and many canners are or-
dering the seed to be shipped by express.
Probably the largest express order for
seeds sent out in some time was received
by the Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, last
week, from an eastern canner who or-
dered an entire carload of peas to be
sent by express, the charges on which
amounted to over $600.
Chicago is the great onion set center
and the approach of a new crop year is
sending the operators into the country to
arrange for acreage. They find the grow-
ers reluctant to close, even at prices con-
siderably above those of other years.
Last year 's small crop paid little profit to
the growers, but the operators have made
large profits, with the result that many
men who plant for the crop think they

William C. Langbridge, of the Jerome
B. Rice Seed Co., Cambridge, N. Y,, who
lias been seriously ill in a New York hos-
jntal, is reported to be convalescing.
Nothing like the recent lack of com-
munication has been known since the
Holland salesmen began visiting America.
The head of a corps of eight salesmen has
had no mail from the house since Janu-
ary 10. He knows the house had 600 '
■cases of goods on the Nieuw Amsterdam
and had a cable that they had been trans-
shipped to the Waaldyk, which sailed, but
nothing further has been heard, either
from the house or from the Waaldyk.
Under the circumstances the travelers
here know little of the course of the mar-
kets in Holland.
BRITAIN PROHIBITS EXPORTS.
A cable March 13 brought word of ad-
ditions to the British embargo list of
May 10, 1916. The list of articles the
exportation of which to any destination
now is prohibited includes the following
seeds: Carrot, cauliflower, kohlrabi,
mangold, onion, parsnip, swede, turnip.
The exportation of raflSa also is forbid-
den. Palm seeds can be exported only
to British colonies.
Heretofore carrot, kohlrabi, mangold,
onion, swede and turnip seeds could be
exported to British colonies.
FRENCH BULBS.
The Union Horticole reports that the
crop prospects on French bulbs are more
uncertain than ever before. They can-
not give any definite forecast of prices,
as they sometimes have done in previ-
ous years, except to say that Paper
White grandiflora, 13-ctm. and up,
probably will start selling at 30 francs
per thousand and white Roman hya-
cinths, 12 ctm. and up, at 130 francs per
thousand. Nothing definite, however,
will be known until the syndicate meets
sometime in April.
Hollanders interested in the buying
and selling of French bulbs have until
now not been allowed to enter France
this season, which would, of course, re-
strict the early buying up of stocks by
Hollanders, and its usual driving
up of prices. Early buyers naturally
imparted a certain confidence to the
French growers that their stocks were
in good demand, and due to the absence
of these early buyers this year, it is
quite possible that .the syndicate will
fix the prices at a more reasonable fig-
ure than is now indicated.

NEWS OF IMPOBTS WITHHELD.
Since the break in diplomatic relations
■with Germany, the federal government,
so far as it has the power to do so, has
established a censorship on news which
might be useful to the officials in Berlin.
In line with this policy, the Treasury De-
partment has ordered that manifests of
incoming ships, including American
coastwise, be withheld. This order will
make it impossible for The Beview to
continue to publish reports of the im-
ports of European bulbs, plants, seeds,
etc., which were taken from the mani-
fests of ships arriving in American
ports. *
Th«f order is being objected to strong-
ly by persons in the trade in New York
and other cities on the Atlantic sea-
board. Heretofore they have been able
to secure this information by telephon-
ing the officials at the customhouses.
Now that the ban is on, an appeal will
be made to the Treasury Department to
release information contained in the
manifests.
Monthly statistics on imports and ex-
ports will be continued by the govern-
ment, but that will be the extent of the
shipping news given to the public.
NASHVILLE NOTES.
The seed business opened rather slow-
ly this spring, because of the unseason-
able weather, and has never been heavy
at any time this season, according to
Nashville seedsmen. The demand thus
far has been heaviest for garden seeds
in small lots for the family garden.
While farm seeds have moved slowly
thus far, judging from sales to date
there will be more vegetable gardens in
this vicinity this summer than ever be-
fore in its history.
Mr. Wood, the head of the Cumber-
land Seed Co., has been ill for some time
and is not able to give much attention
to his business yet. His son is han-
dling things in the interim.
McKay, Reese & Co. report that cow
peas and soy beans are harder to get
than they have been for a number of
years and that even the present high
prices are bound to go higher when
planting time arrives.
C. C. Waggoner & Co. are developing
a mail order business this year. They
are the only mail order seed house in
Nashville. F. B.

^larch 12 I took a walk up North
Charles street to the "300" block. The
object of my promenade was to make
an engagement with John Cook to look
his houses over, and afterward to tell
something of them; but I found that Mr.
Cook was still in Florida, where he has
been all winter for his health. So this
treat will have to be put off for a time.
However, Miss Cook was in charge, and I
think she is as much of a rosarian as her
father. She may not know so much about
producing new varieties, but, believe me,
she does know all about tlio qualities of a
rose from a saleslady's standpoint. She
showed me two vases of roses of their

is better when it is full blown than in the
bud, and she assured me that its keeping
qualities could not be beaten. Another
was My Maryland, that fine salmon pink.
Too much cannot be said of these two
varieties. There was a window display
that was most attractive. It was the first
balmy spring day of the season, so spring
flowers were featured exclusively, arranged
is baskets and harmonizing in colors.
The arrangement of the whole denoted
the work of an artist. The thing that
struck me most forcibly was that, while
the whole effect was good, there was no
crowding.
In this block there are five florists, so
that it might well be called the "flower"
block. They are Feast & Sons, Halliday
Bros., E. A. Seidewitz, W. J. Halliday
and .lohn Cook. But time would not
permit me to call on all of them, so I
just took notes of the windows in pass-
ing. Mr. Seidewitz had an attractive win-
dow with an oil painting in the center.
The subject was "Tulip Time in Hol-
land." It was a field of tulips with the
proverbial Dutch windmill in the distance,
by Mr. Seidewitz. W. J. Halliday had a
Avindow in yellow, in which jonquils pre-
dominateil. Feast & Sons had prim-
roses and azaleas, with a large vase of
Harrisii. Halliday Bros, had Harrisii
lilies, snapdragons and violets.
Wlien you put five florists with the
re])iitMtioii of the above in one city block,
you can imagine that the display effect
is striking, one that flower-lovers would
go some distance to see.

PHILADELPHIA, PA.
Prof. T. B. Symons, of the faculty of
the Maryland Agricultural College, in
his remark.s urged the florists to develop
a bulb industry, the foreign supply hav-
ing been greatly demoralized by the
European war. Besides Prof. Symons,
who was the principal speaker, R. L.
Graham, Richard Vincent and others
spoke. The menu was a credit to the
Hotel Rennort and was much enjoyed by
everyone present.
Friends of Will and Harry Lehr will
be sorry to hear of the death of their
father, William F. Lehr, who passed away
at the ripe old age of 92 years. Mr.
Lehr started business in this country in
1850, having learned the trade in Ger-
many, where for a time he was gardener
on one of the estates of Bismarck.
After coming to this country he located
outside of Brooklyn, Anne Arundel county.

LOS ANGELES, CAL.
The Market.
While the Lenten season does not
make so niucli difference here as in some
sections, there was some falling off this
week, not only in local but also in ship-
ping business. The business lacked snap
and some stock had to be dumped. White
carnations sold well for St. Patrick's
day, the custom of dyeing these and
other flowers green seeming to gain
in popularity, rather than lose. Re-
garding stock, it is in much the same
condition as last reported. Violets
have dropped off, both in supply and
demand, and Cocile Brunner roses are
coming in more heavily and are useful
for corsage bouquets.
Indoor roses are better than they
were and the quantity in the market is
more commensurate with the demand.
Prices may rule a little lower for a
time, but Easter, of course, will have
a hardening effect on the market. So
far it looks as though Easter lilies
will be about equal to the demand,
there being about enough good stock to
supply it. The poorest stock, no doubt,
will be in aVjundance. Spiraeas and
azaleas also will be to the fore, but
there will be no great surplus of either,
according to present appearances.
Greens of the better kinds are still on
the scarce side.
Various Notes.
W. Armacost & Co. have purchased
five acres of additional land to the cast
of their greenhouses. This, with the
two acres rocoiitly covered with lath
houses for growing ])luniosus, brings the
total area up to seventeen and one-half
acres. The new land at first will be
used as a dump for the old soil and
providing new soil for the rose houses,
but the intention is to build on it.
The Redondo Floral Co. force is work-
ing overtime on decorations. Will Lin-
senbard, who lias been witli the firm
for several years, has the sympathy of
all in the death of his fatiier, who
passed away this week at the ripe age
of 80 years. Prima Donna roses arc
great favorites here and large numbers
of them are handled daily.
F. Borden puts on quite a few frills,
thanks to his ability to reduce the H. C.
L. He is a vegetable grower and a
non-smoker.
Alwaj's looking for opportunities to
better its service, the H. N. Gage Co. has
secured seven and one-half acres of the
rich bottom land in the San Gabriel
valley, not far from Covina, for bulb
growing. Great as their success has
been at Montebello, the Gage brothers
realize that there arc some soils better
suited to certain classes of bulbous
stock, and this has led to the new addi-
tion. The ground has a house on it and
pipes for irrigating it have already
been laid. II. N. says that the com-
])any is completely sold out of the big
lot of ferns grown in the new houses,
but that their men are constantly
bringing in new stock and will soon
have plenty of finished plants again.
After filling an important position
in the art department of one of the
large film companies here, C. Lewis has
returned to L. H. Freeman's store,
where he will remain probably over
Easter, unless he is called back to his
work in the pictures.
J. D. Meriweather, manager of the
Fancher Creek Nurseries, at Fresno, was
in the city this week.
Emil Buettner, of Park Ridge, 111.,
has arrived here for a short visit,
looking well and hearty.
J. Onishi, of the United Flower &
Supply Co., of San Francisco, is in the
city.
Forced bulbous stock in pots is espe-
cially good now at Wright's Flower
Shop, the Darwin tulips showing fine
color and length of stem. A large de-
mand for baskets has been noted here
of late.
S. Murata, of S. Murata & Co., is go-
ing around with a smile these days, the
occasion being the arrival of a 10-
pound baby girl at the Murata home at
Montebello. At the store the usual
large shipments of cut flowers and
plants are leaving daily.
As usual, the Hillcrest Nursery, in
South Ardmore, has a fine lot of Easter
lilies, timed apparently to the day and
full of blooms. Grown wide apart, the
plants have held every leaf and are
dwarf and most satisfactory in every
way. A nice stock of Begonia Rex also
is on hand here.
Though not saying much, the L. A.
Floral Co. is doing a good shipping
business these days, considering the
fact that it is Lent. P. Miller, of this
concern, reports quite a run on indoor-
grown giant African marigolds, which
sell at a good price.
Arnold Ringier and Mrs. Ringier, of
Chicago, left here March 15 for va-
rious points by slow stages, en route
to Chicago. Mr. Ringier was feeling
fine and said the rest and change had
done him much good. Mrs. Ringier, who
was unfortunately confined to her bed
for a good deal of the time while they
were here, has quite recovered her
health.
Everyone feels sorry for the well
known members of the firm of Morris
& Snow, seedsmen, whose place of busi-
ness on Main street was completely gut-
ted by fire on the morning of March 15.
The fire was in the old Rosslyn hotel
building and, as nearly as a spectator
could judge, Morris & Snow's store
seemed to have. the worst of it. Comiig
as it did, right in the middle of the
firm's busiest season, makes it all the
more regrettable. Apparently nothing
but a few bags of seeds were saved.
The Broadway Florist establishment
is a busy place these days. Since taking
hold of this, the enterprising proprietor,
D. Stathatos, has made a wonderful
change in the appearance of the place,
and, judging by the appearance of
things and the large staff that is kept
busy all the time, he does a large busi-
ness.
Albert Beverley, of the Mission Oak
Nursery, of Santa Barbara, drove down
to Los Angeles this week and returned
March 15. He is a considerable buyer of
stock, both here and elsewhere, and this,
as well as his genial personality, always
assures him a welcome.
Hills' Nursery had the contract from
a local bank for several thousand sham-
rocks in small pots. These are given
away the day before St. Patrick's day
to all comers.

The Market.
Preparations for Easter are beginning
to assume large proportions here, and all
branches of the business are looking for-
ward to a prosperous season. Eastern
shipping orders received augur well that
more California flowers will be shipped
east this Easter than ever before, and
the local retailers consider conditions
favorable for a fine business. The grow-
ers hope to have plenty of good stock.
From present indications there will be
a fine cut of roses. The supply has im-
proved both in quantity and quality dur-
ing the last week and continued im-
provement is expected until after Easter.
A few long-stemmed American Beauties
are arriving, after having been off crop
lor some time. There is an abundance
or medium and shorter stock. Russell

being about the finest ever offered in
this market. It clears without any diffi-
culty, at firm prices.
There is some difference of opinion re-
garding carnations. The supply has
been lighter since the first of the week
and the average quality rather poor.
Some hold that the crop is going off
and that the supply will be none too
plentiful for Easter, while others at-
tribute the deterioration to the fact that
the growers were holding back for St.
Patrick's day. Good white stock has
been at a premium.
Lilies are excellent and it is hoped
the quality will hold up for Easter. No
fear of a shortage is felt, as various
growers have large supplies in sight.

count of the cold weather. Usually
there are generous offerings of outdoor
sweet peas by this time, but they are
just now beginning to appear. Few out-
door freesias have arrived as yet, which
is late for them, too. The daily consign-
ments of daffodils are large, but they
seem to find an outlet at fairly good
prices. Tulips and hyacinths, both cut

and potted, are in good demand. Lilacs
are late. Violets are in lighter supply,
but they will last some time yet. Few
orchids are available at present and
there is some uneasiness that the Easter
supply will be inadequate. Heavy offer-
ings of blossoms clean up daily.
Various Notes.
Avansino Bros, are cutting about 30,-
000 daffodils per day and some days as
many as 40,000. Besides their own store,
they supply a good many of the other
houses. They expect to begin bringing
in Japanese tree peonies about April 1,
being the only growers of this variety
in the Bay district. Their lilacs will be
ready about Easter and promise well.
Henry Avansino, whose ability as a
buyer is unquestioned, never misses a
day in visiting the flower market.
Whether he needs stock or not, is oflE
duty or on, he manages to take note of
the supply, demand and prices. He says
it is force of habit. Maybe that is the
reason for his comparatively few "bad"
buys.
Albert O. Stein reported a nice lot
of St. Patrick's day table decorations.
He says San Francisco society continues
to entertain and be entertained, despite
the high cost of living. Two big wed-
dings furnished an outlet for quantities
of blossoms and spring flowers. At this
store the better selling roses are said to
be Eussell, both short and long-stemmed,
Ophelia and September Morn.
F. J. Be»trand, manager for B. M.
Joseph, reports business holding up well.
He considers prospects fine for Easter
business and is making preparations ac-
cordingly.
N. Peterson is bringing in splendid
Pink Sensation carnations.
Frank D. Pelicano is wearing the
"smile that won't come off," since he
became a grandfather. His daughter,
Mrs. A. Costa, gave birth to a daughter
March 9, and he is now being hailed
as "Granny" by his many friends.
The Misses Hannon have no com-
plaints to make about business, as deco-
rative work and store trade are both
holding up well. Last week a large
wedding at San Mateo helped out.
The Art Floral Co., of which P. Vin-
cent Matraia is president and general
manager, is now operating the stand in
the Clift hotel, on Taylor and Geary
streets, in conjunction with its store on
Powell street.
T. Mosco has discontinued his store at
20 Geary street and is now conducting
a stand on Market street, near Kearny
street.
Miss Rothschild, of the Bellevue Flo-
rists, says the hotel business is holding
up nicely. Last week a large wedding
called for a good many flowers. The
bride carried a Dolly Varden bouquet
of orchids and valley and the matrons
of honor had bouquets of the same style.
Blossoms and hyacinths in leghorn hats
were used on the tables.
MacBorie & McLaren recently pur-
chased the Lake Merced Nursery, with
the intention of using it to grow cut
flowers for their retail store, which has
already worked up a good business,
though only established a few months
ago. The firm has planted a large acre-
age of asters and delphiniums and has
about fourteen acres yet to plant to va-
rious other flowers, besides the green-
houses. One of the largest shipments of
ornamental nursery stock ever sent east
from San Francisco was forwarded a
few days ago by MacRorie & McLaren.
In the consignment, which amounted to

The most rapturously and strikingly beautiful little
rose ever introduced. The color is absolutely new and
startling in its brilliancy— golden yellow, tipped with
clear cerise. The little buds and open flowers are ele-
gantly finished and of most perfect form. Habit of the
very best, strong and compact; freedom of bloom is
remarkable and continuous throughout the entire sea-

have no hesitancy in offering it as the one best selling
rose you ever handled. It is a money-maker.

The nursery of the E. W. McLellan
Co. is now one of the show places of
Burlingame, the fashionable residence
suburb down the peninsula. The place
is divided by streets and along the side-
walks are flowering fruit trees in full
blossom. Between the gfreenhouses are
large beds of daffodils, hyacinths, etc.,
making a riot of color. The rose houses
are the principal feature, however. Four
large houses of Eussell are in splendid
condition, supplying, practically all the
excellent stock being offered in the
local market. The American Beauty
houses are in equally fine shape.

Tbe Market.
Business last week was fully up to ex-
pectations. The observance of Lent, no
doubt, has its effect on the demand for
flowers for social events, but several of
the larger retailers say they cannot no-
tice it. Green carnations and shamrocks
were offered St. Patrick's day. The
shamrocks were in the smallest thumb
pots. There is no surplus of cut stock
except Easter lilies, and one or two large
funerals would clean them up. Home-
grown violets are now plentiful, but not
sufficient to fill all demands.
Various Notes.
Niklas & Son showed some blooming
French hydrangeas, the first of the sea-
son.
The home of C. Tonseth was damaged

The Market.
The retail market has shown a pleas-
ing turn for the better, after a week
of dullness. All kinds of stock are mov-
ing well, with, as is to be expected,
bulbous stock leading in favor. Local
roses are putting in an appearance, with
the result that standing orders for ship-
ments from eastern points are, in many
cases, being canceled. Local Ophelia
roses are good in quality, as also are
Eichmond and Hoosier Beauty. Killar-
ney and White Killarney will need more
bright weather before they are up to
grade.
Carnations are plentiful, with- the
quality both good and bad. The dyeing
of white carnations has helped to move
a considerable number of blooms, the
growers benefiting mainly.
Various Notes.
H. L. Olsson had a fine trade in sham-
rocks in 1-inch pots, shipping them to
points as far away as California.
Peters Bros, have engaged a new fore-
man, E. Sinclair. Mr. Sinclair has been
in the employ of Adolph Donart, at
Coeur d'Alenc, Idaho, for about three
years. Before that he was with S. W.
Coggan, at Battle Creek, Mich. He
has also been with several of the lead-
ing Chicago growers. His experience
will make him a valuable maA in his new
position.
Harry Saunders, formerly with
Brown Bros., of Vancouver, B. C, has
been engaged by Adolph Donart as
greenhouse foreman.
The woods seem full of salesmen en-
deavoring to unload tlieir wares. Re-
cent visitors included W. D. Desmond,
traveling representative of the Poehl-
manaBros. Co., Chicago; Arthur Zirk-
man, who smiles and sells for the Rice
Co., Philadelphia; F. W. Troadup, who
is making his western bow for the A. L.

Now is the time to send us a shipment of flowers and acquaint yourself with the satisfactory
treatment you receive when you ship to New York's Foremost Commission House in the
flower trade. Extensive experience, ample capital, modern facilities and, in fact, every-
thing to commend us to you. Special opportunity for a couple of Good Rose Growers who-
are looking for the best returns. Our present demand is larger than our supply.

The Rowan Wholesale Nurseries, Dans-
ville, N. Y., have been incorporated with
$30,000 authorized capital stock, by J. E.
Nagle, J. A. Rowan and M. E. King, Jr.
The handlers of the usual spring im-
portations of boxwoods and other Holland
plants almost have despaired of receiving
the stock in time for this season's trade.
Down south the nursery trade has had
one of the largest seasons on record, but
in certain sections the February freeze
entailed losses which will cut a big hole
in whatever profits were afforded by the
relatively low prices.
William A. Peterson, of the Peterson
Nursery, Chicago, recently returned from
Buffalo, where he had gone with other
representatives of Chicago evangelical
organizations to obtain first-hand infor-
mation of the Billy Sunday campaign in
that city.
The railroad situation is serious for
the nursery trade. For months the move-
ment of cars has been unusually slow, and
there have been many local embargoes.
About March 14 shipping was practically
suspended because of the effort to clear
the roads for a strike.
The nursery trade in the north is wait-
ing anxiously for the frost to come out of
the ground. There have been few spring-
like days and the season probably will be
late. A late season almost always is a
short season and a short season seldom
is as good as it might have been.

fact, of the entire south, report that
they have had an exceptionally good
year. Most stocks are sold up closely,
there being less surplus than for years.
There is a feeling that nursery stock of
all kinds will be much higher next sea-
son, as there is bound to be a shortage
caused by the failure to receive French
seedling stock.
A freeze March 19 is reported to have
cut the plum crop short if it did not en-
tirely destroy it, over a considerable
part of the state. Peaches were not
generally open yet, and so are unhurt.

THE HIGH BUSH CBANBEKBY.
Viburnum Americanum, the so-called
native high bush cranberry, also con-
fused under the name of Viburnum
Opulus of Europe, is a tall growing,
spreading-topped shrub with handsome,
light gray bark, large palmately-shaped
leaves on thick red stems, broad, flat-
topped, showy flower clusters having
an outer ring of ray or neutral florets
followed by large, lustrous orange-scar-
let fruits on long drooping stems. It is
widely distributed in nature, from the
northeastern United States to Alaska.
In nature it varies greatly in foliage
and fruits. Some plants have smaller
leaves on long stems and others have
large leaves on short, thick stems. Some
bushes have small, oval and pointed ber-

ries; others have large, round berries,,
while again others have small, round
berries containing little juice.
As a red-berried shrub. Viburnum
Americanum has no equal for northern
planting, say A. H. & N. M. Lake, of
Marshfield, Wis. Its berries begin to
color about August 1, at which time its
leaves begin to assume brilliant autumn
color, and it is at the height of its beauty
and decorative value all through the au-
tumn months. After its leaves have
fallen its bright red berries on the
naked stalks covered with light gray
bark are decorative throughout the win-
ter months, giving warmths and cheer to
the landscape and in addition furnishing
a great amount of food for winter birds
and for the migratory birds in early
spring, when insects are scarce.
Viburnum Americanum and Ilex ver-
ticillata are our two best shrubs, af-
fording berries for our winter birds, and
each should be freely planted.
Viburnum Americanum is easily and
readily grown from the seeds, which
should be cleaned free from pulp, strati-
fied in damp sand and held damp in a
cool cellar until the following August,
nearly a year after being ripened. They
should then be planted, covered lightly
with soil and immediately given a mulch

NEW BEDFORD, MASS.
The Market.
Bright weather, plenty of flowers,
reasonable prices and plenty of work
put some activity into business last
week. Flowers of all kinds are of
good quality. An unusual number of
deaths in the city have given the flo-
rists ])leiity of funeral work.
Various Notes.
Ernest Chamberlain has been busy
with an unusually largo (luantity of fu-
neral work.
Robert H. Woodhouse is still on the
sick list. He was not so well last week
and his physician feared pneumonia.
William E. Moshcr reports business
good. Mr. Mosher anticipates an un-
usually large Easter trade and is pre-
paring for it accordingly.
Fred C. Covill has installed a large
refrigerator. It enhances the attrac-
tiveness of his store.
Edward M. Peirce had a severe cold
last week, but at the present writing
he is much better. Mr. Peirce has some
of the finest cinerarias in the city.
"William P. Peirce reports business
increasing. He expects a large Easter
business. This will be his first Easter
in his new store. W. M. P.
Missoula, Mont.— The Missoula Nurs-
ery Co. has become the Missoula Floral
Co., under the proprietorship of David
A. Brown. C. F. Dallman, the former
owner, sold out to Mr. Brown last year,
but the transfer did not take place until
this month. The new owner was an em-
ploye of Mr. Dallman for twenty-five
years.

ATLANTA, GA.
How deceitful the elements can be!
A warm, moist January had awakened
the dormant life in all growing things,
and one had visions of springtime in
the old gardens of the south. Then,
with barely a half -hour's notice, a
frigid wave arrived and in less than
two hours sent the temperature tum-
bling from 50 down to 8 degrees above
zero.
It was not to be expected that out-
door stock would survive so severe a
chill. A check of the damage done
showed that nearly all shrubbery and
bulbs were destroyed. Some of the flo-
rists lost practically all their stock.
Inasmuch as roses and many other
kinds of plants must be replanted, the
growers of young stock should reap a
good business. The producers are work-
ing hard and have good stock to offer.
There is a scarcity of some plants. Car-
nations now are in abundance, follow-
ing a winter of inadequate supplies.
The florists here note with regret the
destruction of greenhouses at Newcastle,
Ind., by a tornado. Such things are
most discouraging to those who are
striving hard to win success in the
flower business.
NEWPORT, E. I.
The regular meeting of the Newport
Horticultural Society, which was held
last week, was a busy session because of
the diversity of topics considered. The
suggestion made by citizens that the so-
ciety obtain a field and give information
relative to planting to children, was
placed before the meeting, but nothing
definite beyond the appointment of a
committee was done. A discussion rela-
tive to the ultimatum of laborers and as-
sistant gardeners for a raise in pay and
shorter hours, resulted in various opin-
ions being expressed. The society took

no definite action. President John B.
Urquhart and William MacKay, who at-
tended the Davey convention at Kent,
O., made an interesting and instructive
report. Announcement was made that
ten more special prizes have been re-
ceived for the fall show, principally
from growers, one of them for $150.
The show will be held in the Convention
hall, Newport Beach, September 5 to 7.

Easter Plants
We have our immense stock of Easter plants now ready to ship out, and we recom-
mend the immediate placing and shipping of orders. Early-blooming plants carry
much better when they are far enough advanced in bud than those in full bloom; be-
sides, the express companies can handle the early shipments better than those shipped
during the week before Easter.

NEWARK, N. J.
The Market.
Easter stock is coming into the mar-
ket in liberal quantities, potted plants
and cut flowers which recently made
their appearance for the first time being
much more plentiful. Prices last week
as a rule were reasonable, except those
. of white carnations, which began to
mount when the St. Patrick's day de-
mand made itself felt. Business on the
Irish holiday was satisfactory, most of
the florists finding a good sale for their
potted shamrocks and novelties.
Business is good but not rushing. The
growers are nursing their Easter stock
aiong, and it seems that there will be
some top-notch goods for the day.
Various Notes.
Henry Leahy, of Elizabeth, recently
had a clever window of his own making.
On an easel in the center of the window
was a picture frame, which was trimmed
with gorgeous ribbons. The canvas, or
background, was green burlap. The
' ' picture ' ' itself consisted of a spray
of pussy willow and flowers. At the
foot of the easel was a palette and paint
brush, the colors on the palette being
represented by a pansy, a daisy and so
on. A card told the spectators that here I
was "Nature's art." E. B. M.
EVANSVILLE, IND.
The Market.
Business is excellent in all lines.
There is much funeral work each day
and a good call for flowers for wed-
dings and the sick. Roses and carna-
tions are plentiful and sweet peas are
good. Tulips, hyacinths and other
spring plants are in good supply and
demand.
Various Notes.
The members of the Evansville Flo-
rists' Club spent a pleasant evening at
the C. L. Niednagel place March 14.
The members inspected the Niednagel
roses, which are extra fine. The mem-
bers voted to go to Henderson, Kj.,

Do It Now!
Go over your Rose Houses carefully and estimate the plants you need
for replanting this Spring, and place your order. Roses are going to be
scarce. The Manetti situation is such that those who get it are fortunate, and the
demand is far greater than the limited supply. We have sold over 100,000 grafted
Roses in the last two weeks. We have 200.000 more to sell. There is considerable
building contemplated. "Changing from Carnations to Roses" is a frequent expla-
nation made when placing an order. If you are short at planting time it will be
your fault and not ours. The growing of grafted Roses is an industry in itself. At
Cromwell the large quantity of Roses grown for cut flowers makes it possible to get
scions that are first-class. We want your Rose Plant order, and we want to be able
to say "yes" to your inquiry. Estimate your requirements and write us.

The Market.
The market last week showed a slight
tendency to improve. Stock in general
■was plentiful but there was no surplus,
and the clean-up was quite an improve-
ment over that of the week previous.
St. Patrick's day made the demand for
vhite carnations heavier than usual, and
while most orders were taken care of
there was some scarcity of this stock.
Prices on all carnations seemed to in-
crease more than those of any other
«las3 of stock, and the market held
firm at $3 for the colored and $2 for
splits, while white carnations brought
The supply of roses is large and the
■quality is exceptionally fine. The de-
mand showed some improvement and
was steady and strong almost the entire
week. Bulbous stock continues to sell
well and is cleaning up nicely at fair
prices. Orchids are in good supply
«nd there is no surplus. Violets are
still plentiful and are cleaning up fairly
well. Sweet peas do not seem to be
coming in quite so heavily and prices
are somewhat better. Some fancy stock
is coming into the market daily and is
finding a ready sale.
Easter is only a short way off now and
orders are already being booked for
that day. Plant orders, especially, are
coming in strongly, showing that the
retailer is inclined to stock up now
rather than wait until the last minute
and take chances of not getting what he
wants. Despite the difficulty of im-
porting stock, it looks as though the
Easter business would surpass all
.previous years.

Archie MacDonald, manager of the
flower department of Gimbel Bros., left

•ern points. He combines business with
pleasure and will take in the New York

to be away for a week or more.

MT EASTER is not far off, and you will need Palms for your trade. As there is a heavy demand for our
^^ stock at this time, you had better send in your order today to be sure of getting what you want.
All our Palms are grown right here in Wyncote— we never import. They will stand rough treatment.
Practically no Palms are coming from Europe at this time ; there is a shortage, which will tend to increase
the prices. Our advice is to order now.

GLEN COVE, N. Y.
The regular meeting of the Nassau
County Horticultural Society was held
at Glen Cove March 14. Quite a number
of members were present, considering
the inclement weather. James Hollo-
way gave an interesting report of his
recent visit to the Davey tree conven-
tion. W. J. Collins, of Boston, and
Kichard French, of New York, were
elected active members. The exhibition
tables were well filled, with strong com-
petition in all the carnation classes.
The president appointed Messrs. J.
Duthie, Twigg and Noonan to act as
judges. Their decisions were as fol-
lows: Frank Watson, first, for twelve
pink; James McCarthy, first, for twelve
white; Peter McDonald, first, for twelve
mixed carnations. The most meritorious
exhibit, for which a special prize was
offered by P. W. Pojjp, was that of John
F. Johnson, who had a fine display of
polyanthus, well flowered, in 6-inch pots.
A certificate of culture was awarded to
•John W. Everitt for three heads of
Lettuce Golden Ball and a special men-
tion went to Peter McDonald for a pot
of Antirrhinum Silver Pink.
It was decided, if the trustees could
procure the exhibition hall, to hold the
annual dahlia show October 9 and the
chrysanthemum show November 1 and
2. Exhibits for the next meeting, which
will be held April 11, are: One pan of
bulbs, one Easter lily plant and one
hydrangea plant, in pots not to ex-
ceed eight inches.
Harry Goodband, Cor. Sec'y.
Newcastle, Ind. — Peter Weiland is
patting himself on the back over his
good fortune in having contracted for
his season's supply of coal with a con-
cern that did not seek to avoid its obli-
gations. He says he has received every
pound of coal he contracted for, virtual-
ly on time and at the contract price.
Moreover, it has been good coal and he
he has had a most successful season.

CWe are now booking orders for our new seedling Superb, $12,00 per 100,
$100.00 per 1000.
Superb is a seedling or" Gloriosa and Enchantress. It has the good stem of Glori-
osa and the fine growing habit of Enchantress. The color is a flesh pink and it
keeps its color at all seasons. The flowers average about three inches, are very full
and generally receive full score on substance. The flowers are all perfect and do
not split. In the four years we have grown it, it has proved the best commercial
variety, barring none.

Creenhonse 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 bes^ in the special
field of its adaptation.
FREIGHT RATES ON COAL.
Tlio Su])renie court of tlio United
States having decided that a train crew
hauling coal is entitled to ten hours'
pay for eight hours ' work, the railroads
are coming back at the public, beginning
with the consumers of smokeless coal,
who include many florists.
Proposals to increase rates on bitumi-
nous coal from Virginia and West Vir-
ginia fields to the Atlantic seaboard
from 5 to 10 cents a ton, and from
fields in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Vir-
ginia, West Virginia, Ohio and Ken-
tucky to New York, Philadelphia and
Baltimore about 5 cents a ton, have
been filed by the railroads with the
Interstate Commerce Commission. The
railroads also have notified the commis-
sion of their intention to advance coal
rates to great lake ports from 5 to 15
cents a ton. The advances would become
effective between April 1 and April 16.
The proposed increases probably will be
suspended for investigation after a hear-
ing by the commission March 22.
USE IVa-INCH OR 2-INCH PIPE.
Please tell me how to pipe my green
house. It is 18x30 and runs north and
south. The north end has no glass. The
other end and both sides are boarded
and papered from the ground to a
height of three feet. Above this there
are two and one-half feet of glass in
tlie sides, making the total heiglit of
the walls five and one-half feet to the
eaves. The south end is glass from the
3-foot board wajl to the ridge, which is
nine and ono-hhlf feet from the floor.
The boiler pit iWoven feet deep and is
at the north end of the house. There
is a building, 10x18, at the north end
of the house. There will be four
benches in the greenhouse, running
north and south.
How much piping will be needed?
What size of pipe should be used and
what size of hot water boiler will be
required? Would it be of any benefit to
run the smoke flue from the boiler to
the south end of the house, to the chim-
ney? The outside temperature here is
occasionally 5 degrees below zero, and
once in a good while it drops to 30 de-
grees below. F. H. W.— N. Y.
For the house described, a boiler with
a rating of about 400 square feet will
be required for a temperature of 60 de-
grees. To supply the radiation we

lANCASTER, PA.
Eight Reading, Pa., florists honored
the Lancaster County Florists' Associa-
tion with their presence Thursday,
March 15. They arrived at 11 a. m. and
were met by Elmer J. Weaver, Albert
M. Herr and H. K. Rohrer. At 11:45
a. m. the visitors and club members went
to Christiana and called on Maurice J.
Brinton. Carnations are grown exten-
sively at the Brenton place. Much bulb-
ous stock also is grown. A planting of
50,000 Spanish irises, showing buds, was
fine. Some exceptional Emperor daffo-
dils were noted. In the everyday pro-
duction of lilies for the wholesale mar-
ket, Mr. Brinton 's establishment ranks
with the best in the country. A large,
new Lord & Burnham Co. house for lily
growing was inspected, after which Mr.
Brinton entertained the party at a near-
by restaurant.
Our next call was on Charles M. and
Elmer J. Weaver. At the former's
establishment sweet peas are all aglow,
with vines fifteen feet in height. Three
houses, 40x300, are planted to them.
Preparations were being made to set out
an extensive planting of asters.
At Elmer J. Weaver's, peas, carna-
tions and calendulas are the principals.
The peas are most vigorous, the calen-
dulas almost cut out and carnations in
full croj). Mr. Weaver's own seeilling,
white, of which several beds are planted,
is a free-flowering, strong stemmed ar-
riety. Next season Benora and Pink De-
light will lead the procession here.
The B. F. Barr & Co range was next
visited. There much potted Easter stock
is coming along nicely. The houses of
mixed stock for cutting, such as white
and yellow daisies, calendulas, wallflow-
ers, snapdragons, cornflowers, primulas,
forget-me-nots and callas, are not to l)e
surpassed for variety and general ex-
cellence of stock. The houses of roses
are in fine order. In carnations are
Gorgeous, of which no blooms have been
sold under $1.50 per dozen; Mrs. Ward,
Alma Ward, Delhi, Matchless and Harry
Fenn. They all are in the best of con
ditiou. The house of sweet j)eas con-
tains some extra fine blooms. After iii-
sjiectiiig the new, nianimotli packing
sIhmI, the i)arty returned to Lancaster,
where the visitors and a number of the
club members had dinner at the Elks'.
At 7:30 p. m., in the Chamber of Com-
merce rooms, Thos. R. Fries spoke on
"Forcing Bulbs." Mr. Fries' ])aper
was interesting and valuable talk to all.
Albert M. Herr, chairman of committee
endeavoring to secure better exjtress
service, rei)orted progress. A motion
was carried to have the armory flower
show fund revert to the club treasury,
on account of the state 's decision to
build an armory for military purposes
only and not to b«' used for flower shows,
conventions, etc.
At the next meeting, April 19, J.
Wade Gayley will speak ahout his ex-
periences with carnations. Mr. Gayley
is one of our successful growers.
The florists who came from Reading
were: Fulmer Lauch, Stanley Giles,
Jacob Bauder, John Downing, Layton
Butts, Fred Frank, Lee Arnold and Al-
fred Landou. H. K. R.

Our weather is often very severe late in May,
therefore we have to keep them inside and we

In fact. WE DID NOT HAVE HALF ENOUGH
TO FILL OUR ORDERS. WE CHARGED
KXAOTLY TWICE THE AMOUNT we did other

HAVING THO.SB IN PAPER POTS.

SAN DIEGO EXPOSITION
Dear Sirs: The Paper Pots purchased of you
were for use In the Formal Gardens of the • • *
San Diego Exposition.
These pots proved a grand Innovation, wherein
1 have been able to replace and rotate all kinds
of plants during the entire year.
After young plants, either from seed sown in
the Pots or picked from flats, were fairly well
established I plunged the pots where I wanted
the plants to remain, and they went on as if to
(lie manor born.
The loss was simply unobservable.
This covered Canterbury Bells, Asters, Linarlas,
Oaillardias, etc.
The Pots, being square, took up less room in the
flats, being light are easily transported to the
garden, the paper rotting gradually in the ground
the roots are never retarded or disturbed.
Congratulating you, I am very truly yours,

DIRT BANDS
CREASED DIRT BANDS
1— Should a Dirt Band l)e CREASED and the
E.\ns held together until it is set in place? Yes.
OUR DIRT BANDS ARE CREASED. CUT AND
SCORED BY MACHINE TO THE EXACT SHAPE
and the ENDS HELD TOGETHER.
NOT "LOCKED"
2 — Should the ends of Dirt Bands be
"LOCKED"? NO. Beraiise "locking" does not
servo any purpose and is a serious detriment.
If the ends arc "LOCKED" the band has to be
TORN OFF when the plant is taken out.
After the bands are filled and watered the soil
settles tight against the insides and they cannot
be unlocked.
TEARING the ends of the bands apart will
break many of the "balls" or cubes of soil.
Get a "locked" band, lock it and try tearing
it apart.
Ours are made to SLIP APART easily, without
tearing, to let the plant out,
Our bands are made of the same special, tough
paper that has been PROVED 5 YEARS to be
perfect for the purpose.
They are the BEST Band on the market, but
also the CHEAPEST.
Mr. H. B. Weaver of Bird-in-Hand, Pa., grows
Carnations, Mignonettes, Sweet Peas and other
cut flowers. He says of our Dirt Bands: "I
believe any one using these bands will become a
regular customer"
(He got 5000 Dirt Bands in 1913, 60,000 in 1914.
70,000 in 1915, 50,000 in 1916 and has just ordered
60,000 for 1917.)
Mr. ,T. M. Gager, Willlniantic, Conn., says:
"The crop from the plants raised in your Dirt
Bands PAID ME THE BEST of any crop of
tomatoes grown SINCE I HAVE BEEN IN THE
BUSINESS."
(Mr. Gager has just ordered 10,000 4-ln. bands
for this year. )
Mr. Herbert W. Coulter, AVoii, Mass., says:
"I am so well pleased with the Dirt Bands that
I DO NOT SEE HOW A MARKET GARDENER
CAN AFFORD TO GROW PLANTS WITHOUT
THEM."
"I have now about 14,000 Carnation plants
started in 2-incli Bands, which are making a
RAPID GROWTH, scarcely losing a plant in
transplanting from the sand.
"I also have about 20,000 Aster plants trans-
planted in 2-inch Bands wlilcli can stay there till
time to plant out of doors WITHOUT FE.\R OF
BECOMING ROOT BOUND as would be the case
if I used 2-inch pots.
"I believe anyone using these bands ONCE
WILL BECOME A REGULAR CUSTOMER."
Yours truly,
H. B. Weaver, Bird-in-Hand, Pa.
"I used the Rochelle Dirt Bands for early
Tomatoes and Cucumbers with VERY GREAT
SUCCESS.
"The plants grew well and did not mind the
shift from the frames to the open. I had an
IMMENSE CROP of both tomatoes and cucumbers
and both started picking fully 15 DAYS BEFORE
THE USUAL TIME in this section. I shall use
them more extensively this season."
Chas. H. Weaver, Choice Fruits and
Vegetables, Dunnville, Ont., Can.
"I find your Dirt Bands vei^r good for the
growing of Carnation plants.
"I am enough pleased with my one season's
experience with the Dirt Bands TO CONTINUE
TO USE THEM EXCLUSIVELY."
Wm. H. Feierbend, Poughkeepsie, N. Y.
"We used your Dirt Bands for tomatoes, asters,
beans, sweet corn, squash and melons.
"WE GOT GOOD PLANTS."
W. H. & W. N Gage, Cocliltuate, Mass.
"We raised tomato plants in the 5-inch Dirt
Bands you shipped us. Plants become root bound
quicker In clay pots and REQUIRE LONGER
TO START OFF after setting in the field.
BANDS WILL GIVE BETTER PLANTS THAN
POTS." F. B. Murdoch & Co., Kingston, Pa.
"We have used your Dirt Bands with great
success in forwarding vegetable and flowering
plants."
C. R. Clarke, Supt. of Farming and Garden-
ing, Boys' Industrial School, Lancaster, 0.
"I used your Dirt Bands for tomatoes, peppers
and eggplants; also for mignonette, heliotrope
and helichrysum.
"I and my trade were pleased wtlh them.
"I shall use more the coming season."
Chas. C. Roberts, Lansdowne, Pa.

The Florists^ Review
March 22. 1917.
MINNEAPOUS.
The Market.
Business has been quiet during the
last week. With the city traffic more or
less tied up by severe snow storms, and
out-of-town lines and railroads unable
to operate, there has been little business
among the florists. This was lueky to
have happened at this time, as no ship-
ment of flowers could be received and
the local greenhouses were able to sup-
ply the market. There is little enter-
taining during the Lenten season, and
little funeral work was done during the
week. March 17 green carnations, tu-
lips and shamrocks were in demand.
While business in this line was pretty
good, there were many left over, the
supply being greater than the demand
this year. Some artistic decorations
by the various dealers were to be seen
and many new and artistic ideas were
used in window displays as well as
baskets, etc., for home use.
Much preparation is going on now for
the Easter trade. The first orders are
already coming in for remembrances to
be sent to friends. A good supply of
stock will be on the market. Some
growers are meeting with much success
in holding back lilies for Easter trade,
while others are finding their stock
pretty well advanced and will have
much difficulty in keeping it back.
The stock of cut flowers remains the
same as the previous week. Some splen-
did Ophelia roses are coming in. The
spring flowers are still much in demand,
but the supply is great. Prices have not
fluctuated at all this week.
Various Notes.
Tho Hiawatha Gardens liave lovely
rose plants.
E. F. Lemke has some splendid yellow
cernations and marguerites. He has
some fine forget-me-nots and the long
benches of these are a beautiful sight
to the visitor to these greenhouses. He
has also a splendid stock of violets and
geraniums. The latter will make fine
stock for spring planting. Unusually
lovely pansy plants are being raised in
this greenhouse and the blooms are
large and of many handsome colors.
Spiraea is scarce this season, and those
who have it in stock have not the fine
plants that are usually obtainable for
Easter trade. They seem green, as if
from lack of sunshine, or imperfect roots
at the first planting.
Pamel Bros, have opened a new flo-
rists' supply house at 213-214 Loeb ar-
cade. Located in the central part of the
business district, they are expecting
a good trade from the many nearby flo-
rists. There will be a complete line of
wholesale supplies as well as ferns and
other greens.
At the annual meeting of new mem-
bers of the Garden Club, Saturday,
March 17, it was noted how keen the
demand is now among Minneapolis gar-
deners for vegetable seeds. This is un-
usual as compared with other years.
The club now has almost 3,000 members
and splendid work is expected. Window
boxes are to be given the members to
increase the desire to have attractive
looking homes. The Eeal Estate Board
has been asked to allow the use of all
vacant lots it has. A campaign is go-
ing on to secure these for the raising
of vegetables, which, when prices are so
extremely high, seems a splendid idea.

BUFFALO.
The Market.
Tlierc is au abundant supply of all
kinds of stock in the market, with the
exception of one or two items. Gener-
ally speaking, business has not taken on
any more life.
American Beauties as yet have not
become more plentiful, but no difficulty
is experienced in procuring quantities
of other varieties of roses. Both long
and short-stemmed blooms are in ample
supply. Carnations also are quite plen-
tiful, the whites last week having a large
demand for St. Patrick's day, on which
(lay all of them were consumed. Bulb-
ous stock continues to arrive heavily.
Sweet peas are extra good; also snap-
dragons.
There has been a noticeable increase
in business over that of the correspond-
ing period of last year, both retailers
and growers having been benefited.
Club Meeting.
The Buffalo Florists ' Club held its an-
nual meeting March 13, at the Hofbrau.
The following officers were elected:
President, H. Elbers; vice-president,
Mark Palmer; secretary, William Legg;
financial secretary, Oliver Klingen-
meyer; treasurer, Edward Stroh. W. J.
Palmer, L. H. Neubeck and W. Eiss were
elected trustees. Eight new members
were admitted.
L. H. Neubeck acted as toastmaster
at the dinner in the evening. W. J.
Palmer and Charles Schoenhut gave
talks on the newly organized Ee-
tail Florists' Association. Mr. Walker,
with the assistance of O. C. Gillies, gave
an illustrated lecture on civic improve-
ments, wliich proved to be most educa-
tional. H. E. Bates, of Rochester: G.
Hamilton, of London, Ont., and M. Old-
field, of Grimsby, Ont., were among the
other out-of-town guests.
Various Notes.
The staff at the C. F. Guenther estab-
lishment, of Hamburg, are busily en-
gaged shipping the new chrysanthemum,
Hamburg Late White, which seems des-
tined to be one of the coming popular
varieties.
.Tohn Preisach, of Corfu, is shipping
some extra good sweet peas, which meet
with a good demand.
There are only fourteen days left be-
tween now and Easter Sunday, so that
means everybody must get busy to be
prepared for a record-breaker.

The Market.
Business is fair. The demand at the
end of last woek effected a substantial
clearance in tlio market. The call for
white flowers for coloring was particu-
larly large, wliiie the demand for other
stock was good. The call from out-of-
town buyers was heavy.
Roses are cleaning up well. The sup-
ply is not quite so heavy as it was and
meets witli an excellent demand. Car-
nations are selling satisfactorily. Easter
lilies arc jdentiful. Sweet peas are in
heavy supply. Excellent tulips, daffo-
dils and liyaciiitlis may be had. Other
offerings arc oallas, rubiiim lilies and
snapdragons.
The smilax supply is running short of
actual needs. Wild smilax has been
meeting with a good demand.
Various Notes.
C. E. Critchell has furnished large
quantities of wild smilax for store open-
ings, both in and out of the city, and
has booked good orders for this decora-
tive material for Easter.
Thomas Windram has been sending
some excellent carnations to the Cin-
cinnati Cut Flower Exchange.

The Florists^ Review
March 22, 1917.
BRAMPTON, ONT.
Weather conditions have changed at
last, and the bright days we are now
having ought to bring about a satis-
factory condition of things for the
Easter season. Lilies appear to be in
great demand, but the crop is far shorter
this year than usual. Many had to be
thrown out in the earlier stages of their
growth.
We understand that there is a move-
ment on foot to endeavor to do away
with the handling of flowers by the
drug stores of Toronto. The reasons
advanced by those who have charge
of this movement have not been made
quite clear. It is doubtful whether
this branch of trade — which seems to
have been fostered by most of the grow-
ers, for reasons that must be well known
to every florist — will allow itself to be
wiped out of existence unless some good
remedy is offered by those who are in-
teresting themselves to bring about a
change.
The coal situation is now so relieved
that there is little likelihood of any
serious drawback to any of the growers
this season, at least. Just as an example
of the kind of experience which has
not been uncommon this winter, we
might mention that a car of coal shipped
exactly three months ago from the mines
in West Virginia, reached Brampton
this week.
The large carnation section at the
Dale Estate has had its dividing parti-
tion taken down, and is now one ex-
tensive area of carnations in full bloom.
No less than fourteen houses, 500 feet
long, are devoted to this particular
flower.
The demand for vegetables is likely
to be such this year that in all proba-
bility a large amount of space will be
devoted to three or four different kinds,
which will be suitable for market next
winter. W. (i. I".

At the recent meeting (if tlie New liou-
don Horticultural Society P. J. Van
Baarda, of Boston, gave a most interest-
ing talk on spring-flowering bulbs. This
society is giving a series of lectures, by
both local and out-of-town speakers, and
it is gratifying to .see the keen interest
tlie public takes in the affairs of tlie so-
ciety. The meetings are held in the coun-
cil chamber of the Municipal building and
members bring their choicest stock for ex-
liibition.

GREENHOUSES THAT SATISFY
When you invest in a new greenhouse, you want the house that will pay you
best. You want to consider the durability, the convenience, the efficiency and
the cost of the house. Not one of these points is overlooked in our construction.
Twenty -five years' experience in greenhouse construction enables us to give the best in service, material
and workmanship; and the purchaser of Ickes-Braun construction can invest without a doubt as to
the efficiency of his house.

MOTT-LY MUSINGS.
T. J. Opperman, of Camp Hill, Pa.,
believes this spring will offer a big op-
portunity to the raiser of vegetable
plants. He intends to double his usual
extensive sowing. The retail trade is
steadily increasing; a show house and
salesroom are in perspective.
Manager Langhans, of the Pittsburgh
Cut Flower Co., was using the dicta-
phone. "Finest thing of its kind," he
observed, "but it lacks one feature to
make it perfect, facial expression. Then
it would be more interesting to our cor-
respondents and ourselves in many re-
spects." Secretary Clarke is putting
"pep" into the company's consignors
to grow carnations similar to those he
saw at Indianapolis.
D. W. Davis, of Berwick, Pa., who
some two years ago closed his down-
town store, * has opened again with a
thoroughly up-to-date place in the cen-
ter of town. Increase of business is the
chief reason. "Just found we could
not get along well without the store,"
said Mr. Davis.
Benjamin Dorrance, of Dorranceton,
Pa., is wintering in Florida. Miss Dor-
rance reports exceptionally good busi-
ness. The rose crops are fine and there
are excellent prospects. Hybrid teas
flourish, especially Sunburst, Ophelia,
White Killarney and Hoosier Beauty,
the latter variety doing so well that
the planting will be double. It is pre-
dicted that there will be somewhat of
a scarcity of blooms to exhibit at the
March show at Philadelphia.
A curiosity was noted in the beds on
the public square at Wilkes-Barre, Pa.
There was scarlet ruscus; grafted on
mountain laurelt " W. M.

Service
Metropolitan Greenhouse Service
the utmost in efficiency
and— results
Metropolitan Exhibit
at last year's show
No matter what the initial cost of a greenhouse
amounts to, it is in every instance a good investment,
provided the revenue results are proportionate, and the
cost of maintenance remains at a minimum. But no
matter how little the initial cost, it is far too much for
unsatisfactory returns, with constantly increasing upkeep and repair expenses.
Therefore, as the quality of materials used in the construction of all greenhouses is,
after all, a matter of contract specifications, this organization bases its claims upon
the high character of its labor and its constant endeavor to render a service which is
at all times the utmost in efficicLcy, economy and results.
The reliability of this organization has been conclusively proven by the fact that it
has not merely sustained, but heightened its prestige for so long a period.

The Market.
Business last woek was rushing from
start to finish. Not only was funeral
work heavy, but the call for flowers for
other purposes also was unusually large,
and potted stock also had a good de-
mand. St. Patrick's day business was
all that any of the florists could expect.
Few green carnations were left over.
Bulbous stock is plentiful. Some well-
grown ])lants of rhododendrons, wis-
tarias, lilacs and rambler roses have
made their appearance and sell fairly
well.
When the ground hog saw his shadow
February 2 and crawled back to his hole
to hibernate for another six weeks, by
tliat he forecasted six weeks more of
winter, and the old boy did not miss it
far, as the weather during the last six
weeks ])roves. The six weeks were up
last week, thanks be!
Various Notes.
George 8uris, who has been bothered
with rheumatism off and on all winter,
is greatly improved.
John Bath reports the best season on
record. St. Patrick's day business with
him was most satisfactory.
The Herman Bros. Co. is having a
large run on ferns and sweet peas. The
]ieas are as fine as any we have seen
for some time, the stems averaging
eighteen to twenty-two inches in length.
The demand is greater than tiie output.
The firm intends to almost double the
bench space de\ oted to Hoosier Beauty
and Ophelia.
Ex-president MacRorie, of the 8. A. F.,
stopped off in this city last week to
visit some of the florists. He was on
his way to Xew York, Philadelphia and
Boston, and was accomj)anied from here
by Treasurer J. J. Hess.
The store of Hess & Swoboda had a
narrow escape from ruin by fire one
night last week when a fire started in
a moving picture theater next door.
There was a high wind, but the fire de-
partment soon had the blaze under con-
trol. L. S. H.

derful plant. We grow nothing else but "E. G."

purchaser. Don't sell something because it hap-
pens to be pretty at the time, when you know it
will disappoint later on.

ANALYSIS OF WATER.
As I intend to erect greenhouses at
Eagle Grove, la., I have taken the pre-
caution to obtain a chemical analysis of
the city water there. The figures sub-
mitted by the analyst are as follows:
Grains
Mineral Solids — per Qal.
Silica 108
Oxides of iron and aluminum 012
Carl)onnte of lime 12.848
Sulphate of lime none
Carbonate of magnesia 7.185
Sodium and potassium sulphate 2.859
Sodium and potassium chlorides 1.530
Sodium and potassium carbonates 2.353
Loss, etc 264
Total mineral solids 28.149
OrKsnic matter trace
Total solids, 4.02 pounds per thousand gallons.
Please state whether this water, as
indicated by the analysis, will be suit-
able for watering plants.
J. B.— Minn.
From the foregoing analysis it would
appear that about two-thirds of the
solids contained in the water are com-
posed of carbonates of lime and mag-
nesia. While some plants prefer to
grow in soils that are slightly acid, it
is not likely that any greenhouse plants
would be injured by the comparatively
small amount of lime and magnesia con-
tained in the water, and for most plants
it would be decidedly beneficial.
About one-fourth of the solids in the
water is made up of sulphates, chlorides
and carbonates of sodium and potas-
sium, but the relative amounts of so-
dium and potassium are not given.
When present in large amounts, the
chlorides — and particularly the chloride
of sodium, or common salt — are decid-
edly injurious to plants and the same
holds true to a somewhat smaller degree
with the sulphates of those elements,
but there is only about one pound of the
sodium and potassium salts in 1,000 gal-
lons and this is not likely to do any
harm. In fact, when applied in the
usual amounts, water containing sul-
phate, chloride and carbonate of potas-
sium would have some value in furnish-
ing potassium, which is needed for the
growth of all plants. I presume, how-
ever, that, as is generally the case, the
amount of sodium is much greater than
that of potassium, so that the value of
the water for supplying potassium need
not be considered.
I would consider the water safe to use
in a greenhouse. T.

IDENTIFIED BY
THIS TRADE-MARK
Stamped in the End of Every Piece
or APPLIED TO EVERY BUNDLE
Trade Mark Reg. U-S-Pat-Ofhce
When a manufacturer places his imprint indelibly upon his product it evidences to the consumer two
factors of value which, together, are the sum total of all any buyer wants; these factors are integrity
of purpose and complete responsibility on the part of the maker of the desired commodity.
The above legally registered "Tidewater Cypress" trade-mark is
now YOUR INSURANCE POLICY of LUMBER QUALITY.
It appears stamped mechanically into the end of EVERY board and timber of
CYPRESS
''THE WOOD
ETERNAL."
Thoroughly dependable Cypress Flooring, Siding, Moulding and Shingles,
etc., which come in bundles, bear the same mark on EVERY BUNDLE.
The legal right to apply this epoch-making symbol of STRICT RESPONSIBILITY IN LUMBER MAKING
AND SELLING is restricted to those Cypress mills which, by their membership in the Southern Cypress
Manufacturers' Association, attest their devotion to its Principles of Sekvice to the Consumer. Only
mills cutting "Tidewater" Cypress are eligible for membership. (Cypress which grows too far inland is
not equally noted for the "Eternal," or decay-resisting, quality.) Only mills which subscribe to the
Association's standard of scrupulous care in Methods of MANUFACTURE, INTEGRITY OF GRADING
and ACCURACY OF COUNT can belong to the Association. These responsible mills the Association
now licenses to CERTIFY THEIR CYPRESS by applying the registered trade-mark with their identify-
ing number inserted.
BY THIS MARK YOU KNOW THAT ITS CYPRESS.

To be confidential with you —
here's a bit of history —
— a bit of history that tells in deeds much better
than we can tell in words that the AGMCO has
made, and is making, good.
On the first day of November, 1915, a modest little office was opened in the
Masonic Temple, Chicago, "just around the corner from the wholesale flower
market," by the American Greenhouse Mfg. Co., and a new business was
launched on the commercial sea. There was no blare and flourish of trum-
pets at this launching, but there was the quiet force of a set purpose — the
purpose to build better greenhouses, super-greenhouses, casting aside all useless
patterns and outworn methods of construction and holding fast to those
things that are good and true.
Since that time many moons have passed, and the quiet force of
a strong purpose has carried the fame of the AGMCO into every,
even the remotest, corner of the greenhouse world. And the
result ? The result has far surpassed the wildest hope of the most
Utopian dreamer; for in the bright light of AGMCO perfection of
design, of service, of workmanship, the "average job" has faded
away into the gloomy recesses of limbo, never to return again.
You'd be surprised at the amazing amount of work we have accomplished and the ground
we have covered. Why, you can't think of a modern type of house we haven't built. There
are the three big 60x500 footers for Gullett & Sons, Lincoln, Illinois; the nine 44 x 550 foot
giants for the Albert F. Amling Co., May wood, Illinois; Ignaz Schwinn's curved eave, flat
rafter leanto conservatory, 12x17 feet, in Chicago; the classic palm house, 36x45 feet,
without columns, erected for Carl Erickson in Princeton, Illinois; the four houses, 36x300
feet, for Daut Brothers, Decatur, Illinois; the two improved type AGMCO pipe frame houses,
36x300 feet, for the W. A. Rowe Floral Company, Kirkwood, Mo., and three pipe frame
houses, 16x115 feet, for Sam Pearce, of Chicago. Nor are these by any means all— they
but serve to give you an idea of the scope of the AGMCO work.
These things are not said boastingly — "but out of the abundance
of the heart the mouth speaketh," and we are fain to let those
open-minded members of the trade, who seeking for worth found
it and seized it, know that we appreciate to the fullest possible
degree the courtesies they have shown us in this, our infancy, and
the part they have played in helping us to make s'ood.
You can't be fair to yourself without being fair to us.
So-
get our catalogue— it's free
get our estimate— it's free
get our plan— it's free.
Where shall we send them ?

SERVICE
BEFORE STORM
Range of Greenhouses Furnished for Fred J. Benthey, New Castle, Ind.
The big cyclone that struck New Castle,
Ind.» March 11, wrecked a large part of
the Fred J. Benthey range of glass.
It took Mr. Benthey just about two
minutes to make up his mind to rebuild,
and not much longer to decide to have us
furnish the material.
Mr. Benthey knew that we had the
necessary materials on hand, that we had
the shipping facilities and that our goods
were right in every way. He could depend
upon us to take care of him.
We are always at your service and you
can always depend on us.
Just give us a trial, we can show you.
Send for literature.

IHERE were six of us— Mr. Bohannon.'of Bohannon Fl.
Co., Chicago; Mr. Brown, of J. M. Gasser Co., Cleveland;
Mr, Philip Breitmeyer. of Detroit; Mr. Max Schling.
New York; Mr. Arthur Langhans, of Wheeling, W. Va., and
our comDany representative.
We were there as Max Schling's guests to talk over the
Question of forming a definite organization of one or two re-
tail florists from each state, with the idea of doing some na-
tional advertising to broaden the sale of flowers. Also with
the aim of an intimate co-operative senice between
members.
After the organization business was over, the talk turned
towards business methods.
Already ads have been issued reaching over si.v million
readers.
Mr. Bohannon, of Chicago, said that with every basket of
flowers they sent out, a card was enclosed stating that "if the
flowers were not fresh and entirely satisfactory when re-
ceived, to immediately let them know, and a fresh lot would
promptly be sent,"
Mr, Brown, of the J. M. Gasser Co., Cleveland, said he
didn't like that word "if." It at once put a person in a need-
lessly critical state of mind. Their method was to enclose a
card saying; "These flowers are fresh. If not satisfactory,
let us know at once."
Mr. Breitmeyer then spoke up in his auiet, sunny way,
carrying indisputable convincement with it: "I don't care
what you print on your cards, boys.— the thing is to make good,
and do it promptly and cheerfully."
Mr. Schling mentioned that when he was asked to refill a
basket that was not fresh and clean, or the color scheme out
of all harmony wiih the flowers, he first had it understood
that his name-card would not accompany it. Said he could
not aflford to have his reputation risked.
Right then and there I would like to have spoken up and
said that for exactly the same reason Lord & Burnham often
refuse to build certain houses, certain ways, for possible cus-
tomers. We simply cannot aflford to build houses we know
are not practical. Neither will we lower quality to cut down
costs to meet competition.
The only way we meet competition is in giving a man a
better house for his money.
If you want to talk over that kind of a house, say when
and where, and we'll be there.

IT LASTS A SEASON
The Newest Florists' Accessory
A Waterproof Covering for Flower Pets and Flower Boxes. Manufactured from
wood and can be cut with shears. Crepe -wood is an ideal covering for potted plants and
boxes. It is manufactured from thin sheets of veneer and reinforced with strong thread seams. It
stands the water and does not become mushy and soiled like paper. For window decorations and
display stands it is especially suited, as the plants may be sprinkled with a can or hose
without removing the covering.
HOW TO MAKE A FLOWER BOX
Simply unroll around any old box and tack in
position. A fiber ribbon tied around the sides of the
box adds to the appearance. Lath, stained dark
green and tacked on, to create a paneled effect,
makes a permanent flower box which may be used
outdoors if desired. Potted plants may be used in
the box for display if desired .
FOR FLOWER POTS AND POTTED PLANTS
Crepe -wood is tied around the pot with a ribbon, cord or wire. Try it in your window or display
stand. Don't be afraid to wet it.
SEND 20 CENTS FOR SAMPLE ROLL. 6 INCHES WIDE. 10 FEET LONG
PHOTO OF A ROLL OF CREPE-WOOD
Growers as well as florists
will find this material fine
for tacking around small
boxes of tulips and spring
flowers.

The Florists' Review
S*. FLORISTS' FLOWER SEEDS
New Giant Waved or
Spencer SWEET PEAS
There is no other flower that ranks greater in
importance to the florist than Sweet Peas. Since
the introduction of Countess Spencer some years
ago. they have steadily grown in favor. The florist
may obtain any of his favorite colors of the Grandi-
flora type in the Spencers.
Flowers gigantic in size (often 2 inches in diam-
eter), stems stiff, 12 to 16 inches long; the foliage
and flower extraordinary in appearance.

Hamburg
Late White''
CHRYSANTHEMUM
CERTIFICATE OF MERIT awarded by Chrysanthemum Society of America
Picture was taken December 10. 1916,
and will give a good idea of the symmet-
rical form of flowers of "Hamburg Late
While." These flowers were cut from
plants grown from single stems and
planted six inches each way.
"Hamburg Late White" is pure white
under all weather conditions and is a sport
of Maud Dean, white, but has no trace of
pink, as the original.
The average grower of Chrysanthemums
must have varieties which are easy to nandle,
and from which he can cut as near 100% of per-
fect blooms as pos.-ibl?. "Hamburg Late
White" has been grown for the last four years,
and produces a very high proportion of good
flowers. It is not an exhibition variety, but for
late white one of the best for commercial pur-
poses. It ran be had in bloom the latter part of
November by taking an early bud. but by se-
lecting later buds most of the flowers are cut
during December, and would advise to select a
late bud as the later buds come somewhat ful-
ler. By selecting late buds flowers can be bad
as late as the middle of January.
Keeping Qualities are excellent, and where a
light, graceful white flower is wanted "Ham-
burg Late White" cannot be surpassed.
"Hamburg L^te White" will be dissemi-
nated in the Spring of 1917. Plants will be
ready forApril. 1917, delivery and all orders will
be filled in rotation.

Easter Stock, 1917
On time and in fine shape. Can ship any time, and it would be to your advantage,
if you have glass, to have stock shipped a week or two before Easter, as there is much
less danger of bruising the buds on blooming stock. Then too, it will make a much better
appearance developing after shipment.
State whether to be in or out of pots. Three, four, five and six-inch stock, grown
in pots, can be shipped in paper pots and save express. Azaleas, large Roses and
Hydrangeas must be left in pots.
Packing will be charged at cost.
TERMS
All orders from parties unknown to us must be accompanied by Money Order or
Draft (no personal checks). If you wire an order, wire the money also, as we refuse

Announcement of Dorner's Novelties for 1918
If you are interested in something new, of greater than
ordinary merit, give this more than your passing glance.
New Carnation/'Laddie"
Color, a warm rose salmon-pink. Flowers
of largest size, average three and one-half
inches in diameter when at proper stage to
cut, and which develop to four and one-half
inches on the plants or in water. Undoubtedly
the coming fancy carnation to grow. The
keeping qualities are beyond question far
ahead of any carnation yet produced, being
superior to PINK DELIGHT, from which as
a seedling it inherited this excellent quality.
The growth is good and clean, makes large
plants which quickly throw strong, stiff
flowering shoots. The calyx is all that can
be desired. An early and prolific producer.
LADDIE won the DORNER MEMORIAL
MEDAL at Indianapolis, January 31, 1917.
Certificated by the Boston Horticultural So-
LADDIE gjg^y Jq ^jjg samg month, and has never
failed to win high recognition whenever exhibited. The rich, non-fading color, size of flower, the splendid growth and
unsurpassed commercial qualities have won many strong admirers who, with pleasure, look forward to its dissemination
That there will be the greatest demand for this commercial wonder is assured by the bookings to date, which March
14th totaled 54,200 cuttings, and this before any announcement of its dissemination had been made. If you want some-
thing extra select, LADDIE is the variety. Deliveries will commence in December. 1917, and orders will be filled in
rotation as booked. Place your order now to be in on the early deliveries.
PRICE -$12 00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000;
2500 for $237.50; 6000 for $450.00.
New Pink Forcing Rose, ''Rose Harie"
Sunburst Crossed with Hoosier Beauty
In offering to the trade this pink rose, we wish to
state that its commercial value has been tried and
proven. In color, size, stem, keeping qualities, free-
dom of bloom and strong, clean growth, it ranks with
the best of the greenhouse roses.
The color is a beautiful clear rose-pink. The buds
are long, of perfect shape and open into a very large
flower of as good substance as its parents, and as
fragrant as Hoosier Beauty. Growth is very strong,
throwing extra long flowering shoots, the breaks come
quickly and it has no resting period at any time. Has
never shown a trace of mildew or any other disease.
Grafts and own root plants grown side by side have
shown no difference, proving that it will do as well on
own root as on Manetti.
Deliveries will begin March 1, 19 IS.
PRICE- Own root, $30.00 per 100; $250.00 per 1000.
Grafts, - - 35.00 per 100; 300.C0 per 1000.

Q Here are five good reasons
why you need —
"Superiora" Magnolia Leaves
-^ 1. All leaves are of a medium size, no small ones and no large ones.
-^ 2. Leaves are all uniform in color.
«
-^ 3. All leaves will stay pliable.
-^ 4. "Superiora" leaves are the best prepared kind, particularly under the present conditions.
-^ 5. All "Superiora" leaves are the non-molding kind.
Q And five good letters from wholesalers—
McAlpine & McDonald, of Boston, MaHH., write: "In answer
to your letter of January 5th, requesting our endorsement on
'Superiora' Magrnolia Leaves, would say that you might put ue
down as saying that we have found them a most satisfactory leaf
in every respect, our trade being well pleased with them. We also
wish to say that our business dealings with the Dr. H. Dux Co.
have been the finest ever."
Smith & Young Co., of Indianapolis, Ind., writes: "We will con-
tinue to use 'Superiora' exclusively as we consider It superior to any
other leaf In the market. Since we handle 'Superiora' we have not
had one single complaint, etc., etc."
The I-eo Niessen Co., of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "To the best
of our Icnowledge your leaves are of the best quality and as good
as we can get In the market."
The Cleveland Cut Flower Co., of Cleveland, Ohio, writes:
". that we have been sending you orders for 'Superiora' brand
Uagnolia Leaves for several years should prove that we like your
goods . . ."
B. E. & J. T. Col<el.v, of Srranton, Pa., write: "We have
always considered your Magnolia Leaves to be a standard for quality,
etc"
For your protection, Mr. Florist,
Accept "Superiora" Magnolia Leaves only. REFUSE IMITATIONS.

FOURTH EDITION-JUST OUT
The Florists' Review, 508 South Dearborn Street, Chicago, 111.
Inspired with confidence by the largest season's business on record, the
Trade is making preparations for Easter on a greater scale than ever before.
F ever there was a class of
I men trained more tlian an-
other to practice that oM
precept, ' ' Make liay wliile
the sun shines," we are
tliat class, we who deal in
, , ^_^ j)lants and flowers. And
(w^^^ we all are gettiiiff ready
for Easter with a whole-
hearted enthusiasm that in-
dicates a unanimous belief that the first
week of April, 1917, will be the "sun-
niest" we ever have known.
This has been the record season to
• liite with practically all of us who deal
with the public. The growers have had
tiu'ir troubles, perhaps, with severe
wcatluT, small cuts, late crops and in-
< leased expenses, but there has been
III! difficulty in selling flowers to the
I'uidii-, or in getting rather better than
tlic usual prices.
The retailing, if not in all cases the
till' jiroducing end, of
tile flower business, all
reason has reflected the
lii},'h degree of general
I'losjierity throughout
t!io country. There never
lias been so little un-
employment and wages
never were better, the
lesult being that for
every flower buver lost
because of the liigli cost
of living two have been
uaitu'd l^ecause of the
lar^ror volume of money
ill circulation.
Big Business.

^^ e liiesilay was about

If there lias been a less
liivdiabjc sliowing dur-

'O'lnted for by its earlier
•■'•■'"ival, simultaneously
Y'tli a large crop of
"owors. The fact that
"!'■ jmldic this year is
■ibsnrbing a quaiititv of
''Ulbous stock at least
*^vo-thirds greater than
"i^'ial is in itself an as-
•^iiraiice that Easter wili
j)resent possibilities limited only by
one 's ability to take advantage of
them.
The Big Week of the Year.
For many years Easter was the big
day oil the trade's calendar. Kecently
Christmas has gone ahead in dollars,
but not in number of sales; indeed,
there are any number of us whose
customers have not yet adopted the
custom of sending such unutilitarian
Christmas gifts, but who, nevertheless,
can be counted on with certainty to buy
a lily to grace their own front window
Easter morning.
We all can reckon safely that Easter
will give us the opportunity to make a
larger number of sales than at Christ
mas, or at any previous Easter.
Stock has been sufficiently ])lentiful
this season so that, with all the fine
business done at retail, growers whose
stock goes to the trade nearly all will
tell you they have not received as good
average prices this year as last. Con-
sequently there is no ])rosi)ect of any-
thing more than local shortages of
stock for Easter.
.\nyway, practically everyone who
has watched the business grow, year by
year, has come to recognize tliat the
sales for Easter no longer are limited
by the supply of stock but by the indi-
vidual florist's ability to wait on trade.
The public habitually puts off buying
until the last moment — then there is a
most unholy rush.
Only recently has the trade given any
real attention to the problem of get-
ting the Easter buying started earlier.
It will pay any florist to study the
records of other Easters; to do it now,
for there yet is time to push ahead the
selling of next week.
The chances are the records of other
years will show sales
the first three days of
the week preceding
Faster to have been
rather below the normal
business; that by Thurs-
day the buyers were nib-
bling, ))iit that the East-
er sales virtually all
were made in the last
two days. Look up the
facts and see if the sales
of Saturday did not ex-
ceed those of all the rest
of the week!
In the Book.
In tlie memorandum
book every florist should
keej) to preserve the
knowledge he gains by
experience, see if it is
not written of every
jiiensnnt Faster Satur-
day that the rush was so
great many would-be
customers left before
they could be waited on,
and that of every rainy
Faster Saturday it is
recorded that profits
were lost with the stock
unsold — or that a loss
was avoided only by the
use of the telephone like
the grocery order-taker
does it. Anvone can see

in such a record reasons for special
consideration cf the means by which
it may be possible to get the orders
earlier.
Detroit Cooperation.
The thing most worthy of note in the
Easter preparations this year is the
action of the trade in Detroit. That
is one of the cities in which florists are
friends. Perhaps it is liecause the pop-
ulation and wealth of the city have in-
creased so rapidly that there has been
enough business for all, but the fact
is the Detroit florists do not have it
as the first article of their creed: "If
I can't get the order, let's cut the
profit out of it for the other fellow."
The} believe prosperous, contentod com-
petitor^ are less to be feared than would
be tho^ made discontented and reck-
less by the pressure of financial neces-
sities/. So they work together.
Detroit Plans Early Start.
Some years the Detroiters ' efforts
liave taken the direction of cooperative
advertising; other times they have held
a spring show, free to the public. But
this Easter they acted on the evident
greatest desirability of starting selling
soon. They have taken it for granted
everybody Avants flowers for Easter and
they have dropped advertising of that
character; they have cut out the show
as not calculated to produce the results
they want. Instead, they have all joined
in an attempt to get the people into the
flower stores the first three days of
the week, April 1, 2 and 3 — they know
April 4, 5, G and 7, in any case, will
bring all the business they can conveni-
ently handle.
Think what it will mean to tlie busi-
ness that every flower store in Detroit
is advertising an Easter opening for
Sunday, April 1, and the two succeed-
ing days!
Each for All.
Each one is doing what he pleases to
advertise his own opening, but all are
advertising the general opening day.
For two weeks every parcel, every let-
ter and every bill sent out by any
Detroit florist has had in it a neatly
printed circular in the typical Easter
color, with a cut of lilies, a rabbit and
some eggs, carrying the words, ' ' Easter
Flower Show at ALL Detroit Flower
Shops April 1-2-3. ' '
Get the people in and the Easter
orders will begin to accumulate, the
final rush will be reduced, the danger of
loss through bad weather will be elim-
inated and the whole proposition made
easier and Tuore profitable.
We all shall watch with interest the
results of the Detroit undertaking.

EASTER PLANT NOTES.
The Busiest Season.
The busiest jdant season of the entire
year usually is crowded into the three
or four days preceding Easter. Some
customers place their orders in good
season, but the majority of them put off
buying until near the end, when stocks
of many plants are more or less ex-
hausted and when there is often diffi-
culty in securing just the plants wanted.
Foliage ])lants sell only in moderate
numbers, but the call for flowering
])lanta is always tremendous. Whether
or not the prevailing high cost of liv-
ing will in any way cripple the sale
of plants, remains to l)0 proved. Goo(i
weather, M'ith moderate temperatures,
means a great saving in labor and wra])
ping material to florists. Everyone
hopes for balmy climatic conditions. We
should reasonably get these after a long
winter, but experiences of one or two
recent Eastera have shown the danger
of trusting too much to the erratic
weather man.
To Make Buyers Customers.
Paper of every kind is costly now,
but we must have it in quantity. We
may get cold, frosty and windy weather,
in which case careful wrapping is neces-
sary. Merely disposing of plants does
not end our responsibilities. We must
aim to deliver plants to all purchasers
in first-class condition, and we must not
forget to attach a tag or card to such
plants as marguerites, rambler roses,
hard-wooded plants, spiraeas and hy-
drangeas emphasizing the necessity for
an ample water supply. Mere drib-
blings are valueless; make it clear that
at least one soaking watering daily is
a necessity. I suppose tliousands of
plants die annually within a day or
two after being sold, on account of
ignorance or carelessness on the part of
purchasers. We should not look upon
this with anything but regret and dis
favor. Those who buy plants and see
them shriveled corpses a few days later
are not likely to spend much money with
florists. Let us endeavor to teach our
customers the need of proper watering.
for tlie longer pleasure they may derive
from plants bought the better it will
prove for our business.
Why Not Give the Names?
Have yon ever considered the value
of attaching neatly written, or, better
still, printed cards to the various plants
you are offering? Give both the botanic
and common name when possible. Ke-
tailors should endeavor to make their
window and store displays more educa
tional. In what better way can tliey
do this than by letting people know
what they were carrying? It will not
cost mucli to have cards marked for
Rose Dorothy Perkins, French Hy-
Three Veil Known Figures at St. Louis.
drangea Mme. Mouillere, Rhododen-
dron Pink Pearl, Azalea Niohp, Lilac
Marie Legraye or Hyacinth C^ueou ot
the Blues, to give a few conimcu ex-
arnjdes. Be sure the words are cor-
rectly spelled. Some store assistants
in an endeavor to appear smart will
give customers fanciful names for
plants they do not know tlie identity
of. Discourage such practices. Re
member that, while some may not know
much about ])lant names, others may
know more about them than you do.
The Leading Sellers.
Following are short notes on some
of the plants which are good Easter
.sellers and which will be in most prom-
inence. While colored flowers in the
main have the best call, there is one
white flower which will always be asso
ciated with Easter, the lily, and of this
one plant more are sold than of any
(itlier.
The Lilies.
E\cry fa;iiily which has t\\*; iiecos
sary wherewithal will buy at least one
pot of Easter lilies, and the exact tim
ing of this all-important crop means
a good deal to the average country flo
rist. The retailers are growers in only
a minority of cases, but the country
florist growing his own plants must be
alert to have his plants in the right
condition when wanted. Prices are low
immediately after Easter, but funeral
orders may be depended upon to \iao
up flowers from time to time. There
fore do not force plants if there is lit
tie likelihood of getting them into
bloom. Plants with only a few flowers
open are better than those more fully
expanded. If one flower is open your
j)lants will sell. Run them cool for a
few days if you can. To retard the
early ones, stand the plants in a cool
cellar or shed. Remove all pollen
masses and be sure all the pots arc
cleaned in good season. If you want
to make up large pots or pans, shake
the soil away, but retain as many roots
as you can. Soak the plants well after
potting. Plants thus treated will hohl
their foliage dark green for several
days. If you do not grow your lilies,
it is well to buy them with large buds,
as open flowers are always more or les.**
bruised when sent by express or even
by auto truck or horse and wagon.
Giganteum is the leading Easter lily.
For tall spikes Formosa is necessary,
while for stately effect for church dec-
orations the longer spiked Madonna
lily, L. candidum, is incomparable.

Two Highly Effective Ways of Using Bulbous Stock in Handle Baskets.
The Roses.
At one time Crimson Rambler was
the great seller for Easter. A good
many of this old-time favorite are still
sold, but the number decreases each
year, while the pink shades now have
far and away the heaviest sales. T.-ui
sendschon and Baby Tausendschon, Dor
othy Perkins, White Dorothy Perkins,
Lady Gay, Hiawatha, Excelsa, and such
])olyanthas or baby ramblers as Or
leans, Erna Teschendorff, Phyllis and
Ellen Poulsen, are all good. I doubt
if any one variety will sell so heavily as
Tausendschon, better known as Thou-
sand Beauties. The hybrid teas and hy-
bri<l perj)etuals, if they ean be held
so as to liave one or two flowers opening,
are good sellers. Especially good in
tlie latter class are Magna Charta, Brun-
ner and that glorious white, Frau Karl
Bruschki. Be sure your roses receive
<'in aniyile water supply. Do not take
them from a hot to a cold house where
there is more or less draft, or mildew
will soon attack them and soon dis-
figure them so that they will become
unsalable.
French Hydrangeas.
No other plants have come into favor
so rapidly in late years as the beautiful
<ind varicolored French hydrangeai:.
They have entirely eclipsed the old
Otaksa for early work and are easily
had in fine shape for Easter, even if it
comes as early as the third or fourth
week in March, Such lovely sorts as
Mme. E. Mouillere, Radiant, Avalanche,
Bouquet Rose and Mme. Treraeault have
proved to be fine sellers. Their flower
heads are less coarse than those of Otak-
3a and, while they will not stand out-
door weather conditions like Otaksa,
they are much more florjferous and bet-
ter plants in every way for Easter work,
^iven an ample water supply, hydran-
geas will last as long as any flowering
plant on the Easter list, but water they
must have, and in abundance. Speaking
of the (Comparative hardiness of various
plants, it may not be generally known
that these French hydrangeas ])lante<l
outdoors have successfully wintered in
sections where temperatures have fallen
to 10 and !."» degrees below zero, where
they had a good mulch of leaves.
The Azaleas.
While a great many azaleas are dis-
j)osed of at Christmas, there is always
an ample stock of them left for Easter,
and at this latter date the plants will
be found more heavily bloomed. If in-
ured to cool conditions. Azalea Indica
will stand a position even outside the
store, but while the Indica section is
fairly tough it will be noted that forced
!)hints of A. mollis wilt much more read-
ily. The flowers of mollis contain less
substance than those of Indica, but
come in some delightful shades. If some
of your a/.aleas chance to be unsalable,
j)ick oft' tlie seeds, keep the plants well
watered anil plant them out on or about
May 25, in a location easily reached by
the hose.
Dutch Bulbous Flowers.
Pots and jians of tulips, narcissi an<l
hyacinths are always sold in immense
numbers at Easter. They can be profit-
ably moved at a moderate ])rice and
they are plants which can safely be
placed outdoors with impunity, even
when the temperature falls below freez-
ing and the winds are cold. The com-
mercially grown bulbs need to be grown
cool and well up to the light in order
to have them stocky and avoid the need
of staking them. While many varieties
are offered at Easter, Murillo tulips
and Victoria narcissi are special fa-
vorites, and Queen of the Blues, L 'Inno-
cence and Gertrude hyacinths are good
sellers. In wrapping your bulb pans
it is not usually necessarv- to (■onij)lete-
ly cover them, but let the paper cover
the ])ans and come up the sides of the
pans level with the flowers.
The Spiraeas.
Since the introduction of the new
pink and lavender-colored spira'as or
astilbes, these plants have l)ecome
greater Easter favorites. Such varieties
as Philadelphia, Rubens, Venus, Ceres,
Peach Blossom and Queen Alexandra
are of charming colors. Among the
whites the old Japonica is less grown
eacli year, but Gladstone, with its dense
flower spikes, is popular. Remember
that spiraeas are notoriously thirsty
subjects and can scarcely be over-
watered. Most i)lants, if jjlaced in
saucers in which water is allowed to
stand, are soon seriously damaged, but
this stagnant condition has no ill effect
on s])ira^as. It is best to tell your cus
toniers to water them twice daily. Once
a day might carry them in a cool room,
but in the average steam-heated home
twice a day should be insisted upon.
Kee]>your pink and lavender varieties ir
a shaded position, for the sun soon takes
out much of their color.
Hard-wooded Plants.
Both the small-flowered and long-
tubed ericas make splendid Easter
plants. One thing is certain; there is
little likelihood of flowers being broken
or shaken off; the erica will stand longer
in fine condition in the home than al-
most any other plant.
Boronias are seen in fewer numbers
than ericas, but are pretty, sweet-scent-
ed plants for which the demand is usual-
ly good. Acacias are graceful and at-
tractive in their several shades of yel-
low; not cheap plants, by any means,
but wonderfully fascinating. These and
other hard-wooded plants should never
be allowed to become dry at the roots.
30
The Florists^ Review
Makch 29, lyiT.
One severe (lryiii}]f out will kill some
liard-wooded plants, and will at least
seriously cripple all of them.
Forced Shrubs.
The number of varieties of forced
shrubs is now considerable. There is
something quite appealing and satisfy-
ing about them. All the rhododendrons,
)iotably the glorious Pink Pearl; the
kalmias or mountain laurels; lilacs;
staphylcas; cytisus, better known as
laburnums; ornamental malus; dwarf
and standard wistarias; deutzias; Prun-
us triloba and P. Pissardi, arc a few of
the better known and more easily forced
kinds. Do not let the plants have too
high a temperature just before you need
them. Contrive to give the plants mod-
crate heat until the flowers start to
open, and customers will receive more
direct benefit from this kind of plants,
esj>ecially the deciduous ones, if only
a few blooms are open at buying time.
Do not send your forced shrubs into
the open unless the atmosphere is mild.
Marguerites.
Some day wc may get a good blue
or pink marguerite. Of course we have
steam-heated room all should have two
waterings a day to keep them in good
shape.
Genistas.
Large numbers of genistas are sold
yearly at Easter. The bulk are trimmed
into a quite close and formal head.
Some resemble baskets and others have
even more fantastic designs. Natural-
grown plants, or those with a little
trimming, are the best. Genistas can-
not be classed as good house plants.
It may have been noticed that even in
a flower show lasting three to four
days the genistas were dropping their
flowers. Ask customers to give genis-
tas a cool room, if they possess one, and
to be sure that they are amply watered.
If kept cool and moist at the roots,
genistas will give far more satisfaction.
Other Flowering Plants.
The number of miscellaneous Easter
plants is quite large. Among them are
bougainvilleas, which are good keepers
and stand a dry heat uncommonly well.
English primroses, forget-me-nots,
pansies and double daisies can be found
doing well in pans or pots. The poly
The Pussy Willow Has Come to be an Important Accessory.
the little Agathsra cfelestis, but it lacks
the size necessary to make it an ac-
ceptable pot plant. Yellow marguer-
ites, while the most popular for cut-
ting, do not make shapely jiot plants.
The old white Paris daisy still is the
best for pot culture, with one or two
sports with larger flowers less adaj)t-
able. While thinking of it, this is the
time to put in cuttings of white mar-
guerites. Give them one or two neces-
sary shifts until the jiots can lie plunged
outdoors for the summer. Marguerites
are tliirsty subjects anil in a warm,
anthus is also more in evidence. Mignon
ctte well grown in 4-inch to 6-inch pots
is a good seller. Schizantluis is rarely
seen at shows after Marcli. At present
it is at its best and a well bloomed
schizanthus presents a most beautiful
picture. le requires a cold greenhouse
to keep it in condition.
Wallflowers in such colors as blood
red, golden yellow and brown are fine,
and I may say are better if pot-grown
than if bench-grown. Geraniums nicely
flowered in 4-incli to (i-iiicli pots are
popular for Easter. Cinerarias, both of
the stellata and old grandiflora section,
are numerous and somehow seemed to
have a particularly good sale a year ago,
as did cyclamens. Primula malacoides
will be in evidence more than ever, as
will our old friend, P. obconica. There
are more flowering plants than those I
have mentioned. Easter gives us a fine
assortment and every year the constant
query is for something new, which is
not always easy to produce. Lay your
plans as soon as Easter passes for what
you may need a year hence. It is none
too early.
CYLAMEN SEEDS.
What special treatment, if any,
should be given cyclamens to secure a
good supply of seeds? How many seeds
may I reasonably expect from a plant
in an 8-inch fern pan carrving loO
blooms? H. B. R.— la.
Keep the plant in an open, sunny loca-
tion and reduce the water supply a little
as the flowers pass. The earliest and
strongest flowers produce the best seeds.
It is not wise to leave on all the flowers.
Leave a couple of dozen, and you will
have seeds of better quality.
Everything will depend on whether
or not your flowers were fertilized arti-
ficially. If they were not fertilized the
crop of seed is uncertain and may be
anywhere from fifty to 500 seeds. If
you receive 200 good seeds, you should
be satisfied. C. W,
THE FABM PAPER.
Misleading the Amateurs.
A couple of weeks ago the laundry-
man, who delivers the clothes to our
jdace every Saturday, approached me
in the greenhouse rather shyly and said
in a meek tone:
"Mister, can I ask you a confidential
question?"
"Sure, Mike," I said, "raus mit."
"Well," he continued, "I have fif-
teen acres of land on Bald Eagle lake
and I am living out there with my larg&
family. I want to do something with
the land and the family."
"Fine, very fine," I said to the
man. "I wish I had fifteen acres of
land on Bald Eagle lake and a largfr
family to work it. Gee, whiz! I would
make things fly out there, growing all
kinds of green vegetables for the mar-
kets in the Twin Cities."
Here allow me to explain that Bald
Eagle lake is a fine lake about fifteen
miles from St. Paul and Minneapolis,
with good car service and 'hundreds of
cottages, bungalows and near-bunga-
lows, farmhouses, shanties and build-
ings of all kinds.
The laundryman looked once more at
me and said, without blushing or any
other facial expression:
"I want to raise geraniums on it."
Almost Fainted.
Mr. Editor, everyone who knows me
knows that I am a little fellow in stat-
ure, but strong on nerves and endurance,,
but this laundryman pretty near caused
me to faint. But I did not show my
emotions enough to make the man sus-
picious and responded quickly:
"So, you want to raise geraniums on
those fifteen acres? What are you go-
ing to do with them in the fall? Make
sauerkraut out of them, or pickle them?"
"No, no," the man said, "I want to
grow them for the market, for Decora-
tion day, for spring planting and so on.

Bulbous Stock Will Be the Big Seller This Easter» but Heather Has Its Friends.
I have a farm paper at home which, in
the last number, say^ it is* easy to grow
5,000 or more, and at 10 cents a plant
that means $500, a nice little sum, which
would help me in paying for the land
and supporting my family. And, may-
be, in a couple of years or more I would
not have to drive that laundry wagon."
"Sure, Mike/' I said, "but liave you
any greenhouses on these grounds?"
"Oh, no; the farming paper says
greenhouses are not necessarv. Hotbeds
will do."
Writers Know It All.
"Ah, so," I blurted out, "great fel-
lows, these farm paper writers. They
act me, and you, and everybody else.
They know everything. They know it
all. They tell you how to make lice
powder for man and beast; cough drops
out of cornstalks; chocolate wafers out
of dried and powdered horse chestnuts;
a combination suit for the oldest boy
out of burlap, and so on.
"Now, Mr. Man," I said to the laun-
'Iryman, "let us talk plain business.
Have you any money to put up for do-
ing something with your land?"
"Oh, yes, a couple of hundred dol-
'"rs, but I want to make money."
"Certainly," I said, "but not in
U'oraniums. It takes more tlian a couple
"f hundred dollars to do tliat. It takes
Knowledge, material and certain time.
'•'it you take your money, buy good seed
I'otatocs, almost any early ones, and a
'ouplo of tons of sheep and cow manure,
spread it over the ground, have it plowed

^puds properly and keep your family at
't from morning to night, hoeing and
|\"ceding, and hilling up the plants, and
''>' the end of the month of August you
^\ill have your monev back in vour
pocket with a nice profit, and a healthv-
looking family, besides.
And do not believe these farm papers
''l»y too much. Those fellows writing
farming articles are, as a rule, not
farmers or growers of anything. But
they know how to disturb innocent
minds by publishing articles out of their
line in their sheets, just to make that
paper look smart. If you want to know
or to learn something about floriculture,
we have good trade papers, such as The
Review.

many of the British gardeners in Amer-

is the continued loss of American mail.
It is hard enough when thousands of let-
ters and orders are lost as in the sub-
marining of the Laconia, but for more
than a year much mail taken off steamers
for examination by the censor has disap-
peared. It has been noted that corre-
spondence with American Florists bearing
German names has suffered especially in
this respect.
Yokohama, Japan. — The reports that
forcers in the United States are looking
for lower bulb prices is a surprise here.
The market in Japan is higher than a year
ago, and it is thought bulb prices must
be above the usual level this year if for
no other reason than that everything else
is high. There is no indication of an
oversupply to force prices down, par-
ticularly if England admits any part of
the normal quantity.
Sassenheim, Holland. — Bulb exporters
are much in the dark as to business
being booked in the United States this
season, communication being sadly dis-
organized. Cables cost 31 cents per
word and code is prohibited by the cen-
sor. Mail is slow because of infrequent
sailings and the delays of the censor,
and between the quantities of letters
held up by the censor and those lost by
submarining, no exporter can know what
his representatives in .\nierica have
done until the representatives return,
and oven that, at the moment, is a ha/^-
.ardous undertaking. The loss of mail
with the Laconia was seriouslv felt.

The Florists^ Review
March 29, 1917.
WHEN EASTER'S IN THE AIR.
Hitching Sentiment to Flowers.
No one can gainsay the fact that the
flower trade is attaining a higher form
of organization and that its members
are striving more as a unit than ever
before in furthering matters of com-
mon good. Undoubtedly the leading
evidence of progress in the retail divi-
sion during the last few years has been
the more extensive and more intelligent
use of the "dynamo of business," ad-
vertising. No longer may it be said
with impunity that retail florists as a
rule are, from long habit, non-advertis-
ers. A review of the business done on
any of the notable flower days seldom
fails to bring out the encouraging fact
that more florists Jiave been convinced
of the efficacy of printers ' ink as a
stimulant of flower sales.
It is ])rincipally in connection with
the red-letter days — Easter, Mothers'
day. Memorial day and St. Valontiuc 's
day — when sentiment plays an imj)or-
tant part in the sale of flowers, tliat re-
tailers have employed advertising ex-
tensively, and in many cases with liighly
profitable results. The increase in the
quantity of publicity lias })een attend-
ed by an improvement in advertising
copy, indicating that many a retailer
through experience has learned to dis-
tinguisJi strong coj)y from weak cojiy.
Periodic Ads Must Have "Pep."
As the advertising done for the big
flower days must necessarily be of short
duration, appearing a few days only,
advertisers years ago found it expe-
dient to put a more concentrated punch
into their periodic publicity. It was
agreed that for short-time advertising
newspaper advertisements of large di-
mensions had a more telling effect and
gave the flower message for the day a
more conspicuous showing than did
small advertisements. To attain this
desirable feature, the cooperative plan
of advertising was adopted, as first sug-
gested by The Eeview for boosting
Mothers' day. Since then this meth-
od has become popular and has been
used by florists of nearly all the cities in
the country.
The reproduction on page 33 shows
how six florists of Dallas, Tex., instead
of each doing his own advertising, coop-
erated in their sales promotion for East-
er last year and thereby strengthened
their representation. The collective
idea was unusually well handled by the
Texans. The cut is attractive, the ap-
peal to sentiment adroit and the flow-
ers are not forgotten. The advertise-
ment was a full newspaper page, and
apparently each participant in the plan
received the benefits of a full-page dis-
jilay, although he was required to pay
only his sixth of the expense.

Copy Must Sell to Pay Space.
Perhaps if the Texans had given
ranges of prices for roses, lilies, carna-
tions and other specific items plentiful
for the day, they would have answered
many questions of "How much?" on
the part of the readers. Prices are in-
teresting to the average reader. How-
ever, the talk in a cooperative ad for
obvious reasons must be somewhat
general, in this case to represent six in-
terests.
The sentimental appeal on flower days
is a powerful factor in promoting sales,
but it is a difficult matter to mix senti-
ment and the merchandising of flowers
in the right proportion. The thing can
be overdone as easily as it can be un-
derdone. One should not forget the
goods advertised, nor that prices are
more important than some would have
us believe. As florists continue to de-
vote more study to their advertising
copy, the old adage that ' ' any advertis-
ing is better than no advertising" will
go by the boards. Perhaps some day the
slogan will be: "All advertising can
be good advertising — make the copy
sell!"
THE CLOSE AT NEW YORK.
The Rambler Roses Have Lost None of Their Popularity.
A Splendid Success.
The New York show, which opened
March 15, the awards up to the last
day appearing in last week's issue of
The Review, ran for eight days, closing
March 22. The show was an excellent
success from the public's every point
of view, with the result that the fi-
nancial returns insure the continuance
of the spring exliibitions. The trade
exhibitors, most of whom planned to do
business with the jmblic rather than
with florists, were well pleased with the
results obtained, so that their feature
of the show no doubt can be expanded
again another year.

THE NATIONAL BOSE SHOW.
Continuing Last Week's Beport.
The idea that the national rose fes-
tival would continue to improve day by
day was faithfully pushed, but did not
come out strongly. The show was fully
as strong on the first day as at any time
thereafter. The new attractions came
and they just about kept the show at
its high level of quality, without rais-
ing the standard of excellence. As far
as novelty went, the public did not get
started quite so fast as the manage-
ment had hoped, so the original display
was extremely novel to most people
when they arrived. The bad weather
March 21 cut down the attendance,
which improved notably afterward.
To resume the description of the
show given last week: The dinner at
the Bellevue-Stratford, given by the
American Rose Society in honor of the
judges and visitors of national repute,
was attended by some sixty guests.
William F. Gude said that all the hor-
ticultural leaders of the country were
there, ready to assimilate knowledge
from the society's melting pot. The
$18,000 rose from John Cook, of Balti-
more, was a star attraction that eve-
ning on the handsomely covered dais in
front of the Dreer rose garden. Just
wliy it was called the $18,000 rose
Sriatly agitated the public. From that
same elevation, on the same evening,
Mrs. Oliver Cromwell (historic name,
tJii't!) christened the new pink-
Sli twyer-et-al. seedling from Edward
Tiiwill, of Roslyn, Pa., after her mother-
in law, Mrs. Edward T. Stotesbury. It
•■pilly ought to be a good rose to live up
t" its sponsor's hopes.
Wednesday and Thursday.

•■' e exhibits of the private gardeners,

T. 'imas W. Logan and a single entry

prize with a fine display comprising a
baker 's dozen or so of varieties. A. Far-
enwald, of Roslyn, Pa., won the silver
medal, second prize, with five or six
commercial varieties, shown in excellent
form.
The miniature cottages in carefully
laid out lawns proved attractive to the
visitors. Taking it all the way through,
it seemed that the crowds lingered most
over the three large retail displays ar-
ranged by Pennock Bros., J. J. Haber-
mehl's Sons and the Gude Bros. Co.
The fountain in the center of the long
dinner table of the Gude display proved
a great attraction.
While the advertising of the show
was extensive, it did not prove so ef-
fective as the wonderful high-water
mark reached by last year's display.
Comparing the two shows, the National
Flower Show was much larger and
touched a greater variety of interest
than the rose festival just closed. The
rose festival was more effectively
staged. The music was a great addi-
tion to the enjoyment of visitors. By
request the show remained open Satur-
day, March 24, one day longer than
originally planned.
The Florists' Club's "Smoker."
The entertainment given at the Hotel
Adelphia Wednesday evening, March
21, by the Florists' Club, in honor of
the visitors to the show, was in every
way successful. About 300 guests as-
sembled to join in what the committee
styled a smoker. Charles H. Grakelow,
chairman of the committee, has an en-
viable reputation as a delightful host,
so everyone was satisfied to leave it to
the committee, as the invitations ad-
vised, and nobody regretted doing so.
There were refreshments served at so-
ciable little tables and mild liquids and
lots of fumigation and speeches — not
too- many — and a really clever vaude-
ville performance on a stage in the
room. Everybody knew everybody else,
or if they did not it didn't seem to mat-
ter, and everybody went home happy.

Now that the rush is over, two faces
rise before my imagination in scornful
reproach. They seem to ask, "Have
you forgotten us, that you say nothing
of our part in growing those beautiful
plants, the ones that were used in the
central rose garden?" One is the face

HOOSIEB HOUSES HIT AGAIN.
The Big Blow at New Albany.
March, 1917, will be recorded by In-
diana florists as a month during which
the elements set a record for destruc-
tion of greenhouses and stock in their
state. The excitement over the big tor-
nado at Newcastle on the afternoon of
March 11 was abating when news came
that a tornado had visited New Albany
Friday, March 23, and, like the one at
Newcastle, had taken its heavy toll of
life and property.
Shortly after 3 o'clock the tornado
swooped down on the town, leveling trees
and buildings. It came so rapidly and
so unexpectedly that no preparations
could be made. New Albany suffered
heavily. All of the florists there sus
tained losses to some extent, but un-
doubtedly the heaviest loser was Anders
Kasmussen. What was one of the larg-
est and most up-to-date ranges south of
Chicago is a twisted mass of pipe and
sashbars. The beds and benches are
littered with broken glass. Twenty-one
houses, each 300 feet long, went before
the storm. Easter stock that was in the
pink of condition is a crumpled mass
of vegetation. Thousands of lilies were
blackened; thousands of roses which
were coming into heavy crop arc now
standing outdoors.
Basmussen Loss About $80,000.
The two great steel stacks fell on
tlie houses, causing extra damage and
eliminating the possibilities of supply-
ing heat to the less damaged sections.
A young man cutting sweet peas in one
of the houses was seriously injured by
falling glass and lumber. It is estimated
that the loss is around seventy-five per
cent, equivalent to about $80,000. It is
understood that little insurance was
carried.
Nick Pontrich was another heavy
loser. Both of his houses were carried
away, leaving nothing but the benches.
The F, Walker Co. sustained damages
to its service buildings and glass was
broken by flying lumber and hail. At
the greenhouses of Lewis G. Pleiss there
was a heavy breakage of glass and the
concrete boiler room was torn up. The
damage at the range of J. Guthrie was
considerable, but principally broken
glass. A. F. Aebersold also lost heav-
ily; about one-half of his range was
demolished.
Thus the work of a lifetime was wiiied
out, in less than five minutes.
E. C. Walker underwent a harrowing
experience. He was buried beneath his
ruined residence for several hours and
in imminent danger of being burned to
death. Mr. Walker suffered severe
bruises and a fractured limb.
G. G. W.
Although the tornado of March 23
practically blotted out his life's work,
this was not the first time that Anders
Easmussen felt the destructive powers
of the angered elements. August 12,
1911, the records show, a cyclone visited
the Rasmussen range and destroyed a
greenhouse, 42x300, which had been
completed only a few months before.
The loss to building and stock was about
Frank D. Pollcano. Arnold Rfnsrier.
Playing Cowboy at Byron Hot Springs, Cal.
$3,000, with no insurance. At that time
Mr. Rasmussen said:
"I have repeatedly tried to get cy-
clone insurance, but can get no com-
pany to take the risk on the glass."
MB. BINGIEB BESIONS.
Arnold Eingier has severed his con-
nection with the W. W. Barnard Co.,
Chicago.
The announcement was made March
24, following Mr. Ringier's return from
a trip to California, prolonged some-
what by the illness of Mrs. Ringier, who
was in a hospital at Los Angeles with
pneumonia contracted on the trip west.
It is reported, however, that Mr. Ringier
disposed of his stock interest and ten-
dered his resignation as secretary of the
corporation prior to his departure for
the coast. Mr. Ringier had been asso-
ciated with the house for twenty-seven
years and is looked upon as one of the
men of broadest all-around information
in the trade, in addition to which he
has a wide acquaintance in the seed,
( anning, florist, bulb and greens busi-
nesses.
Mr. Ringier has not yet announced
Ills plans for the future.
The picture shows him playing cow-
boy at Byron Hot Springs, Cal., with

ALL ABOUT THE GLADIOLUS.
Extension Bulletin 9, recently pub-
lished by the New York State College
of Agriculture, at Cornell University,
Ithaca, N. Y., probably does not tell
nearly all there is to tell about the
gladiolus, but by the time the other bul
letins in the proposed series are issued
the subject ought to be about exhausted.
The information to be embodied in the
series of books will be largely the re-
sult of experiments conducted at the
trial grounds of the American Gladiolus
Society, located at Cornell.
The present bulletin is entitled "Gla-
diolus Studies — I; Botany, History and
Evolution of the Gladiolus." It is il-
lustrated and contains 188 pages. It
was prepared by Alvin C. Beal, profes-
sor of floricultural investigations at
Cornell and chairman of the nomencla-
ture committee of the American Gladi-
olus Society. This first book of the
series, says Mr. Beal, "is intended to
trace the development of the gladiolus
up to the present time. Succeeding bul-
letins will treat of its culture and of the
varieties that have been tested in the
gladiolus trial grounds."
This series of "gladiolus studies"
may be expected, therefore, to be an
epitome or compendium of most of the
important available facts about the gla-
diolus, and cannot fail to be interesting
to any who are interested in the flower.
NEW ZEALAND MOUNTAIN LILY.
S. L. Watkins, of Pleasant Vallev,
Cal., says:
Ranunculus Lyalli, the shepherd's or
mountain lily, is the largest and one
of the most singularly beautiful ran
unculi in the world, the most graphic
description would fail to convey anv
adequate idea of its marvelous beautv.
The leaves are of enormous size, a dec|
glossy green. The massive flowers ay
pear on tall stems and are over foui
inches in diameter, with beautiful waxv
white petals and a yellow disk. Tin
white of the petals is of the most in
tense, glistening, snowy whiteness, an.
the yellow the most intense golden vel
low. This plant is a luxuriant bloomer,
and its blooming propensities can b-'
continued greatly by occasional irriga
tion in dry sections. It is highlv fr;i
grant.
This plant has a bold, striking, trop
ical appearance and stands three to
four feet in height in its blooming sea
son, with a spread of leaves of from
three to four feet.
It is indigenous to the high moun
tains of New Zealand, and is perfecth
hardy in nearly all localities. It can
be easily protected in localities where
it is not.

a^ ON EASTER EVE s»6
By ANNIE WEIR YOUNG
A florist had a wondrous dream.
On Easter eve, so it would seem,
The Easter lilies all began
Developing feet, and so they ran —
On Easter eve.
Helter-skelter, here and there,
Down the streets he saw them tear.
The Crimson Eamblers madly strayed,
Till their bright petals all were frayed.
On Easter eve.
Azalea flirted with Spiraea,
And both seemed pleased with the idea.
The Violet, that modest flower.
Ran and capered by the hour.
On Easter eve.
The very ribbons waved adieu,
And round about the counter flew,
While gentle Mignonette behaved
Like any small, coquettish maid.
On Easter eve.
The Pansy and the Calla Lily
Went skipping off like any silly.
The Lily of the Valley, too,
Was dancing to the music true.
On Easter eve.
The Sweet Pea waves its rainbow wings,
While to the time it dancing swings.
The Carnation, in this maddening hou»,
Is dancing, too, with all its power.
On Easter eve.
The roses, with their thorny stem,
Declared that Love belonged to them;
They conquered Love with fragrance sweet
And then they chased Love's flying feet,
On Easter eve.
The Hyacinth and Daffodil
Made an appointment by a rill.
The Tulip vied with gay Narcissus
In stealing all the floral kisses.
On Easter eve.
The Orchid waves its fragile petals,
As on the florist's head it settles.
But Forget-me-not calls in liquid tone.
So the flowers troop back without a moan,
On Easter eve.
These flowers all had faces fair;
Their light feet skipped on buoyant air.
The florist watched them in affright;
To him it seemed an endless night —
On Easter eve.
But now these flowers, in all their glory,
Are telling him the strangest story
Of leaves that turned to greenbacks true.
And where Carnations are bright blue —
On Easter eve.
He reached his hand to touch the leaves;
The greenbacks rustled in the breeze!
And all the leaves in his shop that night
Were greenbacks true, in the florist's sight!
On Easter eve.

THE BEST YET.
Good Show; Large Attendance.
The 8j)ring flower show of the
Massacluisetts Horticultural Society,
March 21 to 25, was the most successful
Boston ever has held, not only from the
point of view of exhibits, but also in
the matter of attendance. The man-
agement gave the exhibition wide-
spread publicity, putting it in charge
of Chester R. Campbell, who managed
the National Flower Show when it was
held in Boston, and other big functions.
As a result thousands of dollars more
were taken at the doors than in any
previous year and each day for a num-
ber of hours it was almost impossible
to move in the halls, so great were the
crowds.
The halls were beautifully arranged
and nearly all exhibits seemed as fresh
at the close of the fifth day as when
the show opened. Little fire heat was
used and air was admitted in abun-
dance, making conditions ideal for
both plants and cut flowers. High qual-
ity ruled throughout the show, but the
orchid groups, groups of flowering and
foliage plants, acacias, azaleas, bulb-
ous flowers, ericas, cyclamens and
schizanthus were noteworthy features.
The Flemish garden was a delightful
feature, with its tiled -walks, plots of
verdant lawn, bulb borders, borders of
deciduous flowering shrubs, wicket
fence covered with the golden Jas-
minum primulinum, rest house, foun-
tain surrounded by the new Amoor
River Adonis, and many more attrac-
tive points worked out in Farquhar 's
best style.
Thomas Roland 's acacia group was
a truly marvelous one. Those who saw
his great group at Philadelphia, which
was sold, could hardly believe that from
the same establishment could come so
soon such another display. Numerous
varieties were included, among which
were glorious standards of pubescens,
also cultriformis, longifolia, Baileyana,
Drummondii and many others. The
ericas from the same skillful grower
also were fine examples of cultural
skill.
Orchids were never so extensively
shown here since the great special
orchid show and entirely outclassed the
New York display at the Grand Central
Palace show. Novelties were more
numerous than usual and the retailers'
displays have never been surpassed at
Horticultural hall.
Awards on Plants.
The awards for plants follow:
(Jroup of acacias covering 200 square feet —
Thomas Roland, first.
Three acacias — Thomas Roland, first.
One acacia — Thomas Roland, first, with a su-
perb plant of A. pubescens.

S. Doig, first; W. H. Golby, gardener to B. A.
Clark, second.
Cineraria, one plant — John S. Doig, first.
Cineraria stellata, six plants — William Thatch-

feet— W. W. Edgar Co., first; A. M. Davenport,
second.
Hydrangeas, two plants, distinct — A. M. Dav-
enport, first.
Hydrangea, one plant — A. M. Davenport, first.
Lilacs, six plants — Faulkner Farm, first; W.
W. Edgar Co., second.
Marguerites, four plants — W. 0. Rust, first;
Faulkner Farm, second.
Marguerites, one plant — W. C. Rust, first.
Palms, pair of kentias — Duncan Finlayson,
first.
Palms, pair of Phoenix Roebelenii — Duncan
Finlayson, first.
Primulas, six plants acaulis — William Sim,
first.
Primulas, eight plants malacoides — William

Display of foliage and fiowering plants artis-
tically arranged to cover 200 square feet — A. M.
Davenport, first; W. W. Bdgar Co., second. The
second prize group, it seemed to me, was much
more artistically arranged and showed original-
ity in design, something Judges sliould consider
more. The winning group contained some splen-
did plants, but was built up in too stereotyped
a manner, I thought.
Collection of forced shrubs, covering 150 square
feet — A. M. Davenport, first; Faulkner Farm,

first, with Gloriosa Rothscbildiana.
New or rare plant— J. L. Smith, first, with
Liello-cattleya L. C. Black.
New or rare foliage plant — Cromwell Gardens,
first, with Adiantum gloriosum Lemkesii.
The Orchids.
The awards in the several classes for
orchid plants were:
Orchids, group arranged for effect with foliage
plants to cover not over 250 square feet— F J
Dolansky, first and gold medal, with a magnifi-
cent group in which cattleyas, odontoglossums

Orchids, group not to exceed 200 square feet,
commercial growers excluded — Donald McKenzie
gardener to E. B. Dane, first, with a beautiful

President Kerr. William H. Amling,
Chicago, II!., director through his office
as president of the Chicago Florists'
Club, tlir.iugh illness, was unable to be
pres3nt and the club's credentiale dele-
gating Paul R. Klingsporn as a substi-
tute director v/ere, on motion, accepted.
Credentials from the various affiliated
bodies covering the directors appointed
by them were presented and, on motion,
accepted, and tlie directors; duly seated.
President Kerr announced that he had
exercised the privilege of inviting the
members of the National Flower Show
committee to sit at the meetings of the
board.
An Advance for Mothers' Day.
Secretary Young reported that O. J.
Olson, St. Paul, Minn., had agreed to
act as chairman of the committee on
Mothers' day. Ho also read a letter
from E. J. Fancourt, a member of the
committee, reporting on an interview re-
cently had with Miss Jarvis in Phila-
delphia, and she had arranged to con-
sider the matter of the best assistance
the committee could render to advance
the Mothers' day nioveincrit. Mr. Fan-
court expressed the opinion that, if a
proper campaign was started, at least
$5,000 could be raised for the work,
and suggested that the society might
be willing to advance the sum of $1,000
A. M. Davenport's First Prize Group at the Boston Spring Show.
to start such a campaign, which could
not be started without considerable ex-
pense. Some discussion ensued, which
generally endorsed the idea of support-
ing Miss Jarvis in her work, and finally
the board directed that an advance of
$1,000 be made to the committee, or as
much thereof as might bo necessary.
Credits and Collections.
The project of the establishment of
a national credit and collection bureau
was discussed at some length and, in
order that the committee in charge of
the project might have something defi-
nite on which to work, on motion of J.
J. Hess, the president was directed to
appoint a committee of three to draft
suggestions in the matter, to be en-
dorsed by the board, if found accept-
able.
President Kerr appointed the follow-
ing as such committee: S. S. Pennock,
W. J. Keimel and G. E. M. Stumpp, witli
the latter as chairman.
There was no report from the com-
mittee on development of American
products. The committee on school
gardens reported progress.
The report of the committee on tariff
and legislation being called for, it was
presented by James McHutchison, of
the committee, who was introduced by
Mr. Gude, the chairman, in an address
in which he appealed for prompt action
by the board on the recommendations
embodied in the report.
Defer Anti-Import Action.
The report was practically a brief on
the proposed legislation to prohibit im-
])orts of plants, plant products and bulbs
from all sources. The committee on the
bill seeking this prohibition had, the
report stated, agreed to defer legis-
lative action pending a conference with
the florists' and nurserymen's legis-
lative committees, to be held probably
next June or July. The details of the
])roposed legislation had, said the re-
port, been published in the trade papers,
consequently need not be further com
mented upon, but the committee re-
quested from the board full y)ower to
represent the S. A. F. and O. H. at the
conference; that power be extended to
the committee to add to its body three
members, and to share with the nursery-
men the expense of employing a quali-
fied man to assist in the protection of
the interests of both bodies. A number
of letters from interested growers and

much printed matter were presented
with the report.
Committee to Oppose Legislation.
The followiufi resolutions were then
offered by Mr. Gude:
Whereas: It lias come to our notice that an
cITort is to be made to introduce legislation into
rongress, seeking to prohibit at some future time
the importation of plants, bulbs, plant products
and nursery stock of all kinds from every source;
and
Whereas: The executive committee of the
Society of American Florists and Ornamental
Horticulturists considers such measures not only
unnecessary but injurious to the welfare of its
nii>nil>ors and of the whole horticultural trade
"f the I'nited States; therefore
Be It Resolved: That the chairman of the
legislative committee of the S. A. F. and O. H.
Ih' empowered, and he Is hereby cmi)owered, to
oppose the proposed legislation, to act according
lo his Judgment in the interests of our organiza-
tion at the forthcoming conference, to get what
assistance he can from any of its memliers, and
to share with the nurserymen's legislative com-
mittee the expense of employing a trained man
to help protect our joint Interests.
The resolutions were, after a long
iliscussion, adopted without change.
Firemen's License Laws.
Secretary Young presented corre-
spondence regarding movements in Ohio
iiiul Maine requiring the licensing of
firemen employed in greenhouse estab-
lishments. Mr. Gude criticised such re-
quirements as absolutely nonsensical
and believed they should be opposed by
the society. Maine was following the
I'loeedent set by Ohio, and a bill was
lioforo a committee of its legislature
necking the licensing of firemen in
'liaige of low-pressure heating plants.
Ho offered the following resolution,
wliich was passed:
Resolved: Tliat the Society of Amercian Flo-
iists and Ornamental Horticulturists absolutely
'Ppose the legislation proposed in the state of
•uaine compelling the employment of a licensed
ireman for the firing of greenhouse lioilers
arr.ving less than ten pounds pressure, as being
njnnous to the welfare of the horticultural
'^n'le: and that this society deprecates the laws
. iready passed in Ohio or other states, as highly
1, '^'.mental to the horticultural interests affected
State Stock Inspection.
Mr. Gude also offered the following
resolution:
St^*^®'?*^" ''^P^Pral of the states of the United
''„"'? ''«^f enacted statutes relative to the in-
■lection of stock, which render it practically
impossible to send commercial shipments into
such state; it is therefore
Resolved: That the Society of American Flo-
rists and Ornamental Horticulturists, through its
tariff and legislative committee, use its power
and influence to secure the enactment of uni-
form inspection laws throughout the United
States.
This resolution was also carried.
Postpone Trade Directory.
The report of the committee on trade
directory which, at the Houston con-
vention, was referred to the board of
directors for action, was taken up for
discussion, and the board decided that
the matter should be deferred until after
some system had been established by
the proposed bureau of national credits
and collections.
Secretary Young presented his finan-
cial report for the year 1916. The re-
port disclosed that $7,794.63 had been
received during the year, and the ac-
companying report of the auditors, Ed-
monds & Bouton, Inc, New York,
showed that this money had all been
properly accounted for. It was seen
that 293 new annual members had been
.secured and forty-one life members.
Membership Growing.
A financial statement for 1917, to
March 10, showed receipts of $2,714.75;
the addition of fifty-nine new annual
members and thirty-two life members.
The secretary also presented the report
of the auditors on the National Flower
Show accounts, covering receipts, as
shown by the secretary's books,
amounting to $62,301.
President Kerr asked Mr. Young
wliether he had noticed any increase or
decrease in the society 's membership
in the last two months. The secretary
stated that the society had more mem-
bers in good standing than it ever had,
as could be seen by the records, which
spoke very well for the conventions held
in the west and south.
Plans for Convention.
The secretary then made a report on
the arrangements made for the conven-
tion to be held in New York next Au-
gust. The main hall of the Grand
Central Palace had been secured for the
trade exhibition, at the low rental of
$500, and the meeting hall for $100; a
total of $600. As a comparison, he cited
the cost of similar accommodations at
Minneapolis, which cost $1,200. Orders
for space in the trade's exhibition al-
ready booked approximated $3,000, but
the floor plans showed available space
to the amount of $8,000, all of which
space he believed would be disposed of.
The floor plans had been sent out, and
copies could be secured by anyone inter-
ested.
Through tlie kind offices of the New
York Botanical Society, the convention
garden had been laid out in the Botan-
ical (Jarden, Bronx park. Blueprints
of the planting space had been pre-
pared and would be distributed in a few
days. lie predicted a great success for
the garden. Already about twenty ap-
plications for planting space had been
received.
The members of the board, later, in-
spected the convention quarters.
At this point a motion was carried
unanimously thanking Secretary Young
for his efficient conduct of the secre-
tary 's office during the last year.
Convention in Spring.
A petition from the St. Louis Florists'
Club asking that the board of directors
change the convention date for 1918 to
the period in spring when the National
Flower Show would be held, was con-
sidered, and the change, by motion, ap-
proved, in accordance with power con-
ferred under the amended by-laws. Mr.
Gude stated that he had obtained the
opinion of counsel in Washington on the
legality of this procedure, and it was
confirmed.
It was, on motion, decided to recom-
mend to the incoming president the re-
appointment of the entomologist for the
next ensuing year, in order that he may
complete the special work enumerated
in his report to the Houston convention.
On motion, Dr. Britton, on whom the
superintendence of the convention gar-
den devolved, was authorized to draw
upon the society for money required for

That the j^reat mass ol' coiiitnuu |jri>|ilc
oiters the best field for the llorist 's
wares is the theory of A. H. Barber,
president and (general manager of the
i'ark Flower Sliop Co.
lie runs his business upon the jtrin-
ciple that llowers are just as necessary
as cdothing and food to make life worth
living. Judging from the amount of
business being done in the company's
three stores, and the increases being
shown, his theory is sound, and he is
putting his ideas across.
The i'ark Flower Sliop ('(j. owns and
operates stores in three Ohio cities. The
Cleveland store, which is the headipiar-
ters of the company, is located at 111
Public Hcpiare, one of the busiest spots
in the city. The Youngstown store,
opened a year ago, is at 7 federal
street. The Akron store was opeiiecl
about eight months ago at lOit South
Main stretd.
Mr. Barber ludieves in letting pei)idc
know what he has to sell and he is not
bashful al)out telling tiieni wiiy it is ti'
their advantage to buy llowers at tlie
I'ark Flower yiiops. lie uses space in
the newspai)ers at least once a week and
supplements that witli direct advertis-
ing for special occasions. For the di
rect work, folders, calendars and blot
ters are used and tlie price ap|Hal is
made j)redoniinant.
Saturday specials arc an institution
with the I'ark shojis. They coim- as reg
ularly as the tlay. Tlicy arc always
something gooil and at an attractive
price, ^lore than a few men have ac-
quire<l the habit cd' taking ihjwers home
every Saturday because (d' the appeal
'd' these ' ' specials. ' '
The I'ark stores ai(^ open lUr busi
ncss every day in the year with the ex-
'■epiion of the Akron store, \vhi<di is
'diligcd to close Sundays by a Sunda\
■losing law, unless it is near a Iwdiday.
While the bulk of its bu>iness is in
'lit llowers and plants, of which large
^tncks are carried in eacdi <>\' the sturcs,
the company has built U|i a fiiir biisi

although I would not be positive about
it. A scant inch of manure on the bot-
tom of the bench is ample, and even
that is not essential to success. For next
season, mix your carnation soil early
this spring, using four parts of sod soil
and one part of stable manure. If the
stems are strong, your soil has enough
lime. A. F. J. B.
OUR NOVELTIES IN ENGLAND.
One of the British trade papers, in
<Uscussing carnations, recently said:
^'A good rule of life is, if one cannot
say anything nice of people, to say
nothing at all, and if one applied this
rule in this case, one would not have
much to say of most of the novelties
of 1916. A bevy of American varieties
have not made good, on this side of the
water. Miss Theo, a rose-pink, is too
blue, small and sleepy for this climate
The reds, Aviator, Belle Washburn,
Nebraska and Red Wing, all show the
.weakness of reds in midwinter by go-
ing slaty. Red Wing is worth trying
again, as it measures up and is sim-
ilar to Beacon, still one of the best in
this color. Aviator, too, is of fine color
at times. Finally, Alice Coombs, a
bright salmon-rose-pink, although of
good color and substance, is slow, prob-
ably too slow to make a first-class mar-
ket variety, and even the Corner va-
riety, Nancy, a fine salmon-pink and
good grower, opens too slowly."
EXTERMINATOR OF CUTWORMS.
I am having considerable trouble with
grubworms or cutworms in my green-
house. The pests devour everything,
and seem to be particularly fond of
carnations and smilax. During the day
they are invisible, but after dark they
crawl up on the stems and eat the
leaves. They drill holes through the
carnation buds and destroy the flowers
completely; even the roots suffer heav-
ily. What is a good exterminator of
these pests? I have used carbon bi-
sulphide, but this treatment has been
ineffectual. The soil was taken from
an old field and well rotted manure was
added. H. 0.— N. D.
Your carnations undoubtedly are be-
ing attacked by one of the common cut-
worms, of which there are several varie-
ties. They feed at night, and that is
why you do not see them during the
day. If you will take a strong bull's-
eye lantern late at night, you will be
able to see many of them and destroy
them. Another method is to scatter poi-
soned bait where the insects are doing
<lamage. Mix some bran with enough
molasses to make a mash, then incorpor-
ate in it enough Paris green to make it
deadly. The cutworms will eat the
sweetened bran in preference to most
vegetation. You perhaps will find this
the most efficient remedv. A. F. J. B.
CARNATION BUDS HOLLOW.
If you closely examine the enclosed
carnation bud you will notice that it
is hollow. About one-half of my car-
nation buds come in that condition, and
I would like to know the cause of the
trouble and a remedy for it. The com-
post is good, with about four inches of
^•ell rotted manure in the bottom.
Whenever the plants seem dry I water
them, usually in the morning. The soil
seems to contain little lime, but whether
or not carnations require lime I do not
know. The temperature in the house
averages about 50 degrees, and when it
goes higher on warm days I open the
ventilators. I have not used liquid
manure on the beds.
C. E. B.— Pa.
While the specimen arrived in a fresh
condition, it guvc no clue as to the prob-
able cause of your trouble. One could
see that it would never develop into a
good flower; but there was no sign of
insect or fungus. You did, however,
make a serious mistake in putting four
inches of manure under the soil when
filling your bench. That may possibly
lia\e something to do with the blasting.
THE F. T. D. IS GROWING.
In line with the provisions for pub-
licity made at their special meeting at
Chicago last year, the members of the
Florists' Telegraph Delivery Associa-
tion are accomplishing a great deal of
missionary work in educating the public
to the uses of the F. T. D. service. With
each member availing himself of every
opportunity to acquaint the people of
his territory with the service, this phase
of the retail business is bound to grow
rapidly. Perhaps an indirect result of
the drive for more F. T. D. orders has
been an addition of about fifty new
members to the association's member-
ship list since the first of the year.
There now are approximately 425
F. T. D. stores, indicating that one
branch of the business is rapidly becom-
ing better organized.
A ROSE OF PRIME QUALITY.
The title, "A Rose of Prime Quality,"
is not intended as an authoritative
statement, but only as an attempted
definition — a plausible interpretation of
the name Primerose, with which one of
the new roses has been christened.
Please do not omit the "e" at the end
of the first syllable of the name, for
the rose is supposed to be "prime";
that is, "first in rank or excellence," as
Webster says. And some of the noted
rosarians, such as E. G. Hill, Chas. H.
Totty and A. N. Pierson, Inc., have
watched the behavior of the rose long
enough so that they have confidence in
it and feel safe in recommending it as
being reasonably worthy of its name.
In helping to disseminate it, they do
not seem to have serious fears that
their reputation for honesty and good
judgment will suffer on its account.
Primerose is a hybrid tea and was in-
troduced in 1913, by Soupert & Netting,
one of the famous European firms whose
names naturally occur to us whenever
we think of roses.
Apparently the aforementioned trio
of authorities, Messrs. Pierson, Hill and
Totty, have not borrowed their opin-
ions of the rose from one another, but
each speaks from personal observation.
Yet they seem to be in substantial ac-
cord with reference to the main char-
acteristics of the rose. They agree that
it is at least fairly free in growth and
of good habit; that its foliage is of a
bronzy cast, "deep bronzy maroon
when young and bronzy green in later
stages ' ' ; that the bud is long and pointed
and the fully developed flower is shapely
and of good size. They even agree ap-
proximately in their description of that
almost indescribable quality, the color
of the flower. They say that the hue is
"saffron and cream with apricot shad-
ings," "Indian yellow with apricot
shadings," "a deep shade of pinkish
yellow," or "melon yellow in warm
weather, golden yellow with apricot
shadings in autumn and winter. ' '
Mr. Totty says that the rose, under
his culture, seems to be proof against
mildew and spot and that he ' ' feels
sure it has a future as a greenhouse
rose. ' ' He says it resembles Ophelia,
l)ut has more substance and color.

io fall? Would the fumes of sulphur
which was burned on the steam pipes
be the cause? G. T.— Wis.
Either escaping gas or strong sulphur
fumes from steam pipes would injure
foliage in this way. A leak of gas
would be the more probable cause and
you should make an effort to locate it.
I'ither sewer or illuminating gas is
deadly to plant life and the damage is,
of course, most serious while the ground
is frozen and while the greenhouses are
tightly closed at night. C. W.
WORMS IN ROSE BEDS.
1 am sending you under separate
cover a sample of some worms that are
miinprous in my rose beds. I would like
to know the name of them and how they
"■•in lio exterminated. Any information
'f'gr.irding them will be greatlv appre-
^'•itod. - T. G. O.— Miss.
I ho pnrticular worms sent were badly
-lirivolod up in the bottle when received
and were not recognizable. If these are
I'lrming your roses you should use some
' 'iibon bisulphide in the soil to suffocate
."i<^'>i. Bore holes twelve to fifteen
niciios apart each way across your beds.
.' ''fy need not be over two or three
^nclios deep. Pour a scant teaspoonful
'" the liquid in each hole and immedi-
•itHv pover with soil. Go over vour
''^'is in this war. The fumes of' the
■tibon will not harm the plants, but
;|in suffocate the worms. Carbon bisul-
'liide comes in pound cans and is inex-
Pt^nsive. Do not use any naked lights
\vlnle applying it, as it is of an ex-
^insive nature. Sterilization of your
'^'^'' ^f^fore planting another season
would kill out all these and other soil
pests. C. W.
ALL ABOUT OPHELIA.
The splendid results everywhere ob-
tained with the Ophelia rose have set
on foot a wide discussion of how it
first came to notice. The British trade
papers recently have printed many let-
ters on the subject. Say the originators,
Wm. Paul & Son, Ltd.: "Some may
suppose that the origin of the rose is
obscure or unknown. This is not the
case. Ophelia was raised by us and
was distributed by us with other nov-
elties in the spring of 1912. At the
time of distribution it was publicly ex-
hibited by us and many rosarians visit-
ing our nurseries saw it growing and
flowering here, so that they had ample
opportunities of gauging its merits."
One widely quoted writer made the
statement that E. G. Hill was impressed
with the rose at the Beckwith Nurs-
eries, at Hoddesdon. Beckwith & Son
say: "We had not even heard of the
rose until towards the close of the vear
1912, when our friend, E. G. Hill,
of Richmond, Ind., wrote to the late
George Beckwith and urged him
strongly to give it a thorough trial as a
forcing variety, as he had proved it to
be a good thing in America and in-
tended to boom it. Acting on this ad-
vice, we purchased plants from the
raisers, Wm. Paul & Son, of Waltham
Cross, January 9, 1913, and immedi-
ately worked up a few hundred plants
for trial in the following year. Mr.
Hill has not yet seen the rose growing
in our nurseries, as his last visit was
prior to our purchasing it. As a gar-
den rose Ophelia was not 'discovered'
by America, but as a market forcing
variety the credit for its * discovery '
is solely due to Mr. Hill. It is true
that the majority of really good forc-
ing roses, suitable for market growers,
during the last few years have been
'discovered' by Americans, but there
is an element of luck in it, as our own
trials every year of new roses are ex-
tensive and expensive, and it is a long
time since we found a good one. Had
Ophelia been exhibited at the National
Rose Society shows before 1913, we
should have tried it without any ad-
vice. " '
WE SHOULD WORRY.
It is suggested that the number of
novelties coming from Europe will be
greatly reduced by the war, if, indeed,
importations are not cut off by the
enactment of the prohibitory law pro-
posed by the gentlemen who fear the
United States may be eaten up by some
unheard-of foreign insect. But we
should worry. We have enough novel-
ties in sight in this country to keep us
busy until we can raise some more.
The list of new roses of American
origin is particularly attractive. Several
Ophelia seedlings are in sight and at
La Fayette, Ind., F. Dorner & Sons Co.,
raiser of Hoosier Beauty, lias been
working with that variety and with
Sunburst. One of the seedlings from
that cross has been named Rose Marie.
It is rose-pink and, if importations of
Manetti are to be shut off, it is impor-
tant to note that, like Sunburst, it does
well on its own roots. The accompany-
ing illustration shows the Dorner house
of Rose Rose Marie as it looked about
the middle of March.

Winter-Flowering Begonias.
It is hoped that everyone has put in
an ample supply of leaves of Cincinnati,
Lorraine and other winter-flowering be-
gonias. If not, lose no time in getting
in more leaves. During winter, while
there is a steady bottom heat and a lack
of top heat, these begonias root more
easily. The earliest batch of plants,
potted some time ago, will be sending \i\)
a good number of shoots and will be
ready for a shift from 2^/4 -inch to 3-inch
pots. Avoid large shifts at this time,
and be sure to use a light compost. Oni!
containing plenty of flaky leaf-mold,
with some sharp sand and a little old
manure, will suit the plants to a nicety.
Give them a night temperature of 60 to
65 degrees and moderate shade. If the
plants can stand on a bench where there
is a little bottom heat, they will make
all the better headway.
Gladioli.
Gladioli wanted for a Memorial day
crop should be planted in benches now.
It should be remembered that pinks and
reds sell much better than whites at
that season. Perhaps you want some
gladioli to come along in good season
outdoors, but have not facilities for
benching these in your greenhouses. In
such cases it will pay to start a few
dozens or hundreds, according to your
needs, in 3-inch pots. Either earthen-
ware or paper pots may be used. If
you cannot spare greenhouse space, they
will do well in a gentle hotbed. A foot
of fresh manure, well tramped, a layer
of fine coal ashes over this, just suf-
ficiently deep to half plunge the pots,
will give them an ideal start. They can
be gradually hardened and planted out-
doors early in May. They will flower
two or three weeks ahead of tlie out-
door-planted dormant tubers.
Marguerites for Bedding Out.
The white niarguoiite, Mrs. F. Sander,
is not sufficiently i)lanted out for sum-
mer blooming. The ordinary single
white and yellow varieties are flowcrlc'ss
about all summer, Ijut l)loom a little lie-
fore the frost kills them. Mrs. Sander,
on the other hand, will flower right
through the hot weather, and, while
under glass the bulk of these are single
or semi-double, practically all are double
outdoors. It i>roves extremely useful
for funeral work, in addition to being a
good bedder. Put in a good batch of
this marguerite now, in order to have
good 4-inch pots for sale in May. Gi.e
the plants outdoors good soil, and water
if they are droughty. They will well
repay you for the little extra labor in-
curred.
Allamandas.
Allamandas are among our most vain
able summer-flowering plants. While
usually classed as stove or tropical sub-
jects, they will succeed splendidly in an
ordinary greenhouse. Plants which were
rested in winter will now have well ma-
tured wood and should be pruned back
and later shaken out and repotted, using
a compost of two-thirds fibrous loam and
one-third old cow manure. If in large
pots or tuba or planted out, the removal
of some of the old surface soil and a
liberal top-dressing will suffice for them.
Allamanda Hendersoni is one of our fin-
est climbers. A. Williamsi, with smaller
flowers, is the best to use for a pot
plant. At Newport, K. I., and other
summer resorts these allamandas are
largely used both in pots and for cut-
ting, and delightful they are for table
decorations.
Fancy-Leaved Caladiums.
.V fine selection of fancy-leaved cala-
diunis nowadays can be purchased at
(|uite low prices. Some people object
to colored-leaved plants, and they ara
at present under something of a cloud,
but they will agdin have their innings.
These caladiums should be started in
shallow flats of clear sand and when
well starter! they can be potted off in
a compost of fibrous loam old cow ma-
nure, leaf-mold and sand. They like a
little brisk heat, and under glass should
have some shade, but not a heavy shade,
or it will dull the b(>autiful and natural
colorings of the leaves. Caladiums are
useful as piazza plants in hot weather.
They can also be used in living rooms
and will succeed when well bedded out,
if some taller plants are grown which
cast a little shade over them.
Spiraeas £or Easter.
While not a spCJttally valuable plant
as compared with'l&ie lily, hydrangea,
rambler or azalea ftw Easter, the spiraea
is an easily grown ftnd serviceable plant
which can be sold at a moderate price.
The plants can hardly be overwatered.
Elevate some of your best plants on
pots and place saucers below them.
Never mind if the saucers are full of
water; it will not cause any loss of foli-
age, as it would in the case of hydran-
geas or even marguerites. They stand
much heat while forcing, but be sure
to give them an abundance of water.
Do not fumigate them with ordinary
tobacco stems and be sure to remove
the fine new pink and lavender varieties
to a shaded position as the flowers open,
or they will fade out badly.
Vegetable Plants.
Many country florists do a consider-
able business in vegetable plants in
spring and early summer. Now is the
time to start a number of these. For
an early cabbage use Copenhagen Mar-
ket or Early Jersey Wakefield. For
an early tomato. Chalk's Early Jewel
or Sparks ' Earliana. ^jJTor main crop
varieties Stone or DwSarf Stone cannot
be surpassed. For i^ early celery
Golden Self -blanching 4b the best, with
later sowings of Winter Queen and
Boston Market for wilfeter use. Snow-
ball cauliflower, Ma^JKing and Big
Boston lettuces can al*o be sown now.
If you cannot sell all the plants you
raise, be sure to plant some of them out
for yourself, and thus help to combat
the increasing cost of living.

SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS
FOR SOUTHERN FLORISTS
FERNS IN THE SOUTH.
The summer culture of ferns, especially
of the nephrolepis family, varies much
in the south according to latitude. In
the sections where rain storms are fre-
quent, the plants do much better planted
out in a frame, with no ])rotection from
the sun, than when planted in a slat
house. In those sections too much dam-
age is caused to the young fronds by
the larva' of a night-prowling moth.
The month of August seems to be fa-
vored as a time for destruction. Various
remedies are used with more or less suc-
cess, particularly spraying with Slug
Shot or fir tree oil. Setting the plants
out in tlie full sun, however, seems to
be the best insurance against the pest,
and in the drier sections of the south
this jtest has never given any trouble.
There the jilants require some sun pro-
tection, such as a lath house affords.
In planting always leave room for the
plants to develop without undue crowd-
ing. They will require much water, but
should not be deluged by a strong press-
ure from the hose. August in the north-
ern and September in the southern sec-
tions are the best months in which to
transfer the plants from frames to pots.
Needless to say, the weeds and grass
must be kept down at all times. L.
CYCLAMENS IN THE SOUTH.
The first batch of cyclamens that were
pricked off ten or twelve weeks ago
will ]»rob!ibly need handling again. In
stead of putting them into 2^4 or 2%
inch pots, try them in boxes or in a
shallow bed. They seem to grow more
quickly when handled in this way and
are easier to water and cultivate. They
can be potted when ready for 3-inch
pots. The soil at this stage should be
at least half leaf -mold, with a little de-
cayed manure. The red clay soil in
most sections in the south requires much
leaf -mold to make it suitable for cycla
mens. The glass over the plants should
now have a little shade, to break the
sun 's rays. In potting cyclamens see
that drainage is thoroughly provided
for and you will find the danger from
overwatering reduced to a minimum.
As soon as the cold weather is gone
the young plants should be placed in a
coldframe, using lath shades as a pro
tection from the sun. To keep thrips
away use tobacco stems between the
rows of plants, and renew this treat-
ment every third week. Use glass
sashes to protect the plants from rain
storms. Remove all shading at night, to
give plants the benefit of the dew.
During the hottest months the plants

may be "dewed" daily by using a fine
spray nozzle on the hose, but keep a
watch for spot on the foliage. At the
first appearance of this stop all ' ' dew-
ing" at once. A spraying with half an
ounce of potassium sulphide dissolved
in a gallon of water will check the spot
quickly, seldom requiring two applica-
tions. Give the plants frequent stir-
rings of the surface soil during the sum-
ner season, and avoid overpotting at
ill times, or rather avoid shifting until
> !ie pot is well filled with roots. L.
BALTIMORE'S LARGEST GROWER.
[Tate, the Baltimore correspondent of The Re-
■ ifw, recently visited the range of Isaac Moss,
inc., near tliat city, and has written an Interest-
.iiK account of what he saw there.]
One Saturday I made a pilgrimage
. ut to the range of Isaac H. Moss, Inc.
What a busy place that is! It was about
half an hour before I could get our old
friend, Ike, with his corncob pipe, seat-
(.1 comfortably in his office and to say:
'I am at your disposal."
He is just the same today as he was
thirty years ago, refusing to be in the
loast flustered, no matter what the ex-
citement may be, and success has in no
way spoiled him.
As I was waiting to get him alone,
where I could ask questions, the thought
came to me that as our column is to
help those in the trade, I could do
nothing better than to give some of the
younger men in the trade his experi-
ence. What one man has been able to
accomplish, some other man should be
able to duplicate.
Started Thirty-five Years Ago.
I can remember well when he first
started in business. It was in 1882 that
Ike, after serving an apprenticeship of
ten years in the nurseries and green-
houses of W. D. Brackenbridge, started
out with a single lean-to house, 15x50,
and no assets except a rugged consti-
tution and a determination to succeed.
This little house was in the yard of his
father's home. In a few years two more
span-roofed "houses were added and he
w'as getting along nicely when a car-
riage factory was erected on an ad-
joining lot. The building shaded about
half his glass and made it useless. But
this did not deter him; it just aroused
the fighting spirit in the man, for he
secured a lot across the road and erected
a lean-to house 25x100 feet. Then he
Rradually added to this until he had a
range of six houses, each 25x75, in addi-
tii>n to the first house.
Plant Now Is Modem.
These houses stood until 1910, when
he replaced them with a range of iron-
frame houses, which are furnished with
every modern device. Three of them,
^I'xlSO, are devoted to roses and, al-
though they were off crop just at that
t""e, I thought this would be a good

' Easter. Azaleas, lilies, wistaria and
' ' cs were credits to the genial foreman,
^ C. Price.
Isaac H. Moss.
Another feature of this business,
which I must not forget, is landscaping.
Nearly every place through Greenspring
valley bears the stamp of Moss, so
that out on Bellona avenue, almost ad-
joining the place where he had served
his time, he has twenty-one acres of fine
ornamental nursery stock. On this
place there also is a range of six houses,
30x200, all except two devoted to carna-
tions. In one of these houses there is
red and pink Radiance and the other is
as fine a house of field-grown roses in
6-inch pots as one would wish to look at.
All of this range has grown from the
little lean-to house in his father's yard.
His Recipe for Success.
As I asked him to what special fea-
ture he owed his success, he replied:
"Hard work and a close application to
business."
So if any young man, who is fighting
for a foothold in business, should be-
come discouraged, my advice to him
would be to take an afternoon off, go
out to Govans and see what one young
man, without capital to start with, has
been able to accomplish. And I am sure
he will go back to his work with new
determination and hope.
There was one thing that impressed
me greatly; it was that, in spite of all
those years of close application, time
has dealt gently with our friend, as his
picture will show. I am sure it is the
wish of all the boys in the trade that
he may be spared many years yet to
enjoy the fruits of his labors. Tate.

A novel Easter window display can
be made at small cost if you will com-
bine art with stock. Your window is
of good size and the following sugges-
tion could well be carried into effect:
In one corner, preferably the main cor-
ner, could be placed a large standing
cross from four to six feet in height.
This could be made with magnolia
leaves carefully arranged so that they
could be used over again. My prefer-
ence would be the brown leaves, over
which a nice spray of Easter lilies could
be arranged, with the stems in test tubes
of water so that they would not wilt.
At the back of the cross, built away up,
I would place Easter lily plants, making
them to appear as though they were
growing on a mound. A few doves
hanging from the ceiling would greatly
improve the effect. Other Easter novel-
ties and plants could be shown to their
best advantage kept at a reasonable
distance from the cross. A handsome
bow of lavender ribbon tied among the
lilies on the cross would enrich the
effect. ^^ H. J. H.

PESTS ON LETTUCE.
Some time ago I wrote to The Review
regarding insects with which my lettuce
is infested and in your reply you re-
quested that I send you some of the
insects. I am therefore enclosing some
of the infested lettuce. The ground
just under the plant is covered with
this pest. Can you tell me what it is?
Has the green fly anything to do with
it? Does the green fly have a different
appearance in its different stages, like
other insects? Any information on how
to successfully combat this pest on my
lettuce, and how to control lettuce dis-
eases, will be appreciated. W. F. — Pa.
This aphis has no connection with the
common green aphis. There are over
forty varieties of aphides that infest
greenhouse plants. Fumigation with
nicotine extract and scattering tobacco
dust below the plants will check the in-
juries materially. Aphides breed with
marvelous rapidity, in many instances
boin J viviparous; that is, in these in-
stances there are no eggs, but the
aphides are born alive. Against the
whole aphis family such remedies as
nicotine extracts, whale oil soap, kero-
sene emulsion, etc., are used, but of
course lettuce would be unsalable if
sucli liquid sprays were used on them.
I think tliat to clean out these and allied
I)ests and diseases affecting lettuce, you
should sterilize your soil or rotate crops.
The sterilizing would be of the greatest
benefit in controlling lettuce leaf-rot and
allied diseases. C. W.
FRUIT ROT ON TOMATOES.
I have a house of Bonny Best toma-
toes which were planted late last fall
and which should have been through
l)caring fruit by February 1; but as we
liave had little sun, the tops of the plants
are full of green fruit ready to ripen and
a large number are beginning to rot at
the ends. Also, some of them seem to
liave a rusty streak at the end. Is this
a disease? I burned wood the greater
part of the winter, on account of the
scarcity of coal, and, of course, could
not keep an even temperature. I have
tried to keep the temperature at 62 to
G.J degrees during the night and higher
during the day, but some nights it has
varied 8 or 10 degrees. I have allowed
the plants to go somewhat dry during
the cloudy weather, with a moderate
supply of water on sunny days. I am
sending a sample under separate cover
and shall appreciate any information on
the subject.
F. 1). C— Mass.
The cause of rot on tomatoes is not
yet known. It is liable to come more
frequently after long spells of dark
weather, and affects most the plants
whicli are badly crowded. The only
remedy I know of is to pick off and de-
stroy all affected fruit and in this way
help to prevent the spread of the fun-
gus. Tomatoes like dry conditions at
the root during dark weather and your
treatment seems to have been correct.
Air the plants on all favorable occa-
sions, as a close atmosphere is favorable
to the spread of this disease. I think if
you planted such special forcing toma-
toes as Comet, Stirling Castle and Lis-
ter's Prolific you would find them more
profitable under glass than Bonny Best,
which, while a useful outdoor variety,
has its limitations for forcing purposes.

INSECTS ON CUCUMBERS.
I am writing for information about
the insects on my cucumbers, of which
you will find a sample enclosed. Please
tell me how to destroy them.

BUQS ON VIOLETS.
There is a pest on my violets which
has the appearance of a chinch bug. It
eats holes in the flowers and foliage and
causes them to turn yellow. I am en-
closing a few leaves with some of the
pests on them. Can you tell me how to
get rid of this bug? Would you advise
me to use nicotine? Also, what treat-
ment shall T give the violets in order
to have them nicely in bloom for Easter?
C. M. S.— O.
The leaves enclosed were cracked and
in small fragments when received. I
did not notice any signs of aphis. These
are easily taken care of by fumigation
or spraying with a nicotine solution.
One fragment of leaf contained some
red spider. This is a serious pest. It
breeds where the atmosphere is dry, and
is most liable to appear in quite warm
parts of the house, particularly near
heating pipes. The best remedy for this
is a pressure of cold water from the
hose, well directed through a fine spray
nozzle below the foliage. Also, use the
hose more freely on any portions of
bench or floors, or below benches where
there is the greatest drying out. An in-
creased atmospheric moisture will prove
uncongenial to red spider. C. W.
The pest is one with which I am not
acquainted. You should be able to get rid
of it by either a nicotine fumigation or
spraying, or both. In spraying be sure
to use a fine nozzle and direct the spray
below the foliage as well as possible.
More than one application may be neces-
sary to clean out the pest. A fumigation
with one of the standard nicotine ox-
tracts should account for most of those
pests. A mulch of well decayed manure
will be beneficial to your plants. You
could further improve them by giving
an application of liquid cow or sheep
manure water, but do not use any chem-
icals. They make the flowers too soft.
Violets will need an abundant supply of
water as the days grow longer and
warmer. Some shade may be needed to
keep vour plants in condition for Easter.

OBITUARY
Lawrence Cotter.
Lawrence Cotter, manager of the
Lake View Eose Gardens, Jamestown,
N, Y., died at Jamestown, March 24.
Mr. Cotter was- formerly manager of
the Castle Grove Greenhouses, Danville,
Pa., and subsequently, but before as-
suming .charge of the Lake View Rose
Gardens, was located at Dorchester, near
Boston. Associated with him at James-
town was his son, Charles N. Cotter.
Harry G. Lehr.
Harry G. Lehr, member of the firm of
Lehr Bros., retailers and growers, Balti-
more, Md., died March 20. His death
came within a month of that of his
father, William F. Lehr, who established
the Lehr range at Brooklyn, Anne
Arundel county, near Baltimore, in 1850.
The funeral services were held March
22 and were attended by many of the
Baltimore florists. Mr. Lehr and his
brother, William G. Lehr, succeeded
their father in the management of the
range at Brooklyn. This is one of the
finest rose ranges in Maryland. Both
businesses will be continued by the
brother.
Mrs. Mary A. Chapin.
Mrs. Mary A. Chapin, in the florists'
business for thirty-six years with her
two sons under the firm name of Chapin
Bros., died at her home in Lincoln, Neb.,
March 20. Mrs. Chapin 's death was
sudden and, although 91 years of age,
she took intense interest in the b"usiness
until she died. With her sons, Leon-
ard C. and Howard A. Chapin, Mrs.
Chapin opened a retail store in Lincoln
ill 1881 and the business has grown
with the city. It will be continued by
tlic sons.
Frederick C. Page.
Among this month 's victims of pneu-
monia was Frederick C. Page, of Mor-
ris, 111., whose death March 11 brought
to a close the career of one of the
pioneer florists of the state. For half
a century Mr. Pago had followed his
tailing of florist and gardener at Morris.
The decedent was born in Colin, Ger-
many, May 6, 1832. In 1865 he mar-
ried Miss Maria Kraninier and two
years later came to America and set-
tled at Morris. Nine children were
born, seven of whom survive.
PROPAGATION OP VIOLETS.
How should cuttings be taken from
violets in order to have good success
With themt I have heard that runners
taken at this time of the year will not
'lo well. M. B.— Minn.
Violets may be propagated from run-
ners. These make fairly good plants,
'^iit T have had much better success by
dividing plants when the blooming sea-
son has passed, cutting the leaves and
I'oots back somewhat, putting these into
l^ats of sandy loam and later transplant-
"ig them to the field. This is especially
true of the singles. As the doubles
I'loom a month later than the singles, I
would prefer to take good runners from
'hose where obtainable and make up
'Tiy deficiency from divisions of the old
I'lants. C. W.
iJlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllillillilllllllllillllllllllllllllilllllllllllllllillllllllllllir:
I MOTT-LY MUSINGS |
^iiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiir
Mark Aitken, of Springfield, Mass.,
summed up the situation with the re-
mark: "You may mark my word, that
this Easter will see the biggest clean-
up of blooming plants and cut flowers
in the history of the trade. Our stock
of lilies and azaleas was never finer. I
agree with Mr. Danker that azaleas
grown the second year seem to last long-
er in residences, and our customers
favor the natural shape."
Albert M. Herr, of Lancaster, was
picking out orders for rooted cuttings
of geraniums and remarked that the
space occupied on the benches was just
one-half of what it usually was and
what it should be. The mercury was
dodging around zero; old Boreas was
howling and inspired the observation
that extra wrapping material was re-
quired. "Additional costs all around,"
said Mr. Herr.
Ernst C. Ludwig, of Allegheny, Pa.,
staged pots of tulips and daffodils out-
side his store February 8, bringing them
as close as possible to the public. It
was in keeping with the first touch of
spring.
B. F. Barr & Co., of Lancaster, Pa.,
are much pleased with the special Mc-
Cray refrigerator recently installed. It
is the admiration of all who see it. The
new 2 story warehouse and packing
room at the nursery is a valuable addi-
tion. "Our great drawback was the
lack of a storehouse," observed Mr.
Barr. "The distance from the farm
barred us from handling local business
satisfactorily. ' '
T. Malbranc, of Johnstown, Pa., con-
templates adding another greenhouse
after the spring business, which is an-
ticipated to be fully as good as last
year's.
H. W. Pierce, of Wilkes-Barre, grows
just two crops under glass. Grand Rap-
ids lettuce, three parts of the year, and
one crop of tomatoes, to market before
the outdoor stock is fit. "Many think,
because we are near the mines, that we-
can more easily obtain coal, but that
is not so," observed Mr. Pierce. This
was confirmed later by a miner's son,
with whom I got into conversation. He
mentioned that he, with his father,
farms twelve acres of land. He works
until the afternoon and then goes into
the mine. The young man said he drove
a mule from 4 to 9 p. m., five hours, and
received $2.25 for the five hours. The
operators have been unable to obtain
labor to load the coal mined into the
cars, and here is where the greater part
of the trouble exists today. W. M.
Ponca, Okla. — A. G. Kaner has come
from Wichita, Kan., and opened a store
here. He is making plans, it is said,
for the erection this spring of the larg-
est greenhouse in northern Oklahoma.
Nashville, Tenn. — Alleged injuries
sustained when struck by an auto truck
are the basis of a suit for $10,000 dam-
ages filed in the Circuit court against
Geny Bros, last week. The complainant
avers that he was in the hospital three
weeks following the accident.
Asheville, N. C— E. E Brown, of
Brownhurst, "whore the flowers grow,"
is the local Rotarian. At one of the re-
cent luncheons he made an address on
the business, incidentally informing his
fellow members that florists live longer
than other business men because of tho
influence of their surroundings.
Houston, Tex. — It may be that ship
pers in the north do not appreciate the
extent to which express charges add to
the cost of the stock sold here. For in-
stance, one Houston florist states that
the express charges paid in the one
month of December, 1916, amounted to
$625. This did not include the charges
on certain shipments refused because
of late delivery and damaged condition.
Miami, Fla.- M. M. Carroll, bulb mer-
chant of Norwood, O., has been a recent
visitor hero.
Fitzgerald, Ga. — The new year saw
the passing of Joel Thomas, but the
Thomas greenhouse business is being
continued successfully by the decedent's
daughter, Mrs. Lula Armantrout.
Lawton, Okla. — W. H. Cole, who lias
been associated with the Stiios Co., of
Oklahoma City, has arrived here to take
charge of the landscape work of tho
Hornaday greenhouses, a new depart-
ment recently added by the proprietress,
Mrs. O. G. Hornaday. E. S. Biggard
has severed his connection with the
same concern and gone to California.
Raton, N. M.— B. B. Naylor, Jr.,
manager of the Raton Greenhouses, is
confident that they have a winner in
a snapdragon of unknown origin that
appeared in their stock three or four
years ago. It is bronzy red with yel-
low lip and is a stronger grower than
any other lariety on the place. The color
is distinct and their customers prefer it
to any of the standard named sorts.
Mr. Naylor says they never yet have
had enough of it for their local trade,
but he plans eventually to name it and
distribute it in the trade.

The Review brings result.s.
No finer snapdragons over have reached
The Review than the two dozen spikes
of the unnamed bronzy red variety that
came this week from the Raton (Jreen
houses, Raton, N. M.
Now that New York has the spring
show out of the way and can look back
with satisfaction on a successful effort,
the work of preparing for a record S. A.
F. convention in August will be turned
to with enthusiasm.
When an express company tenders for
delivery a cut flower box with about 30
cents charges collect, if the editor isn 't
napping he declines to pay the price to
see what is in it, the chances being the
parcel contains a double-spathed calla,
sent by a reader who never saw one be-
fore.
Rose growers who have had little suc-
cess with Hadley will be interested to
note that it was the outstanding feature
of the cut flower classes of the Philadel-
phia show of the American Rose So-
ciety. With Hadley the Joseph Heacock
Co., one of the two conspicuously suc-
cessful growers of that variety, took
sweepstakes in all three groups, best
100, best fifty and best twenty-five
blooms.
Endless confusion is almost certain
to result from the unusual conditions af-
fecting the Dutch bulb business. The
travelers are out of touch with their
houses, because of infrequent sailings,
the censor and the loss of much mail.
Buyers are canceling orders when an-
other salesman quotes a lower price, as
is not infrequently the case, and acknowl-
edgment of receipt of a cancellation is
difficult to get, which no doubt will mean
the shipment of many canceled orders.
THE DATE OF EASTEB.
Easter Sunday falls on dates as
widely separated as thirty-two days dur-
ing, tlie present century, the earliest be-
ing March 24, 1940, and the latest April
25, 194;}. The last day of March will be
Easter in 1918 and April 20 will be the
date the following year. Here are the
dates of Easter for the next five years:
1918 March 31
1919 April 20
1920 April 4
1921 March 27
1922 April 16
IT HAS A LONG REACH.
The long and strong arms of The Re-
view reach out thousands of miles to
bring results for its advertisers. A lit-
tle ad is read with as great interest in
California ..s in New York and in Maine
as in Texas. Here is the proof:
Kindly discontin\ie o:ir clnssifted ad on orchids.
The ad has shown koo:1 results. Have had in-
quiries from (Jiilifornia to New York. — J. F.
Aminann Co., Edwardsville. HI., March 2.3, 1917.
When you hear a man complain of
the cost of advertising you can be pret-
ty certain he spends a good bit of
»nouov elsev'licie than in The Review.
PAPER.
To supply the demands of the trade
and print last week's Spring Shows
Number of The Review, 10,922 pounds
of white paper were required. For this
week's Easter Number 11,750 pounds,
nearly six tons, will be used.
That's nearly eleven and one-half
tons these two weeks.
It would be extremely satisfactory if
it were not that paper now costs The
Review just 214 per cent of the price
paid before the ascension.
Although the quality of the stock at
times has not been anything to brag
about. The Review has had no trouble
in procuring the four and one-half to
six tons per week it needs to keep
going.
AIRING A TRADE ILL.
As the custodian of the closet in
which abide the trade's skeletons —
there are several of 'em — the editor is
frequently called upon to serve as
arbiter of matters in dispute between
a seller and a buyer, in which the buyer
charges the seller with rank negligence
in packing liis plants; for did not the
goods arrive in poor condition, with
some of the stock damaged or frozen,
or useless? Being considerably removed
from his opponent, and — in many cases
— having sent cash with his order, the
buyer's chances for redress, providing
the seller, or shipper, is culpable, may
be decidedly slim. In rebuttal the sell-
er maintains that the buyer is all wrong
in his stand. Having sold plants for
twenty years, the seller says he cer-
tainly knows how to pack his stock
for shipment! The work is done care-
fully; his boxes are strong, if light,
and special attention is paid to the
wrapping of the plants. After deliver-
ing himself of this verbal defense, the
seller concludes with the statement that
either the express company is responsi-
ble and liable for the damage, or the
buyer is playing an unfair game. Fur-
thermore, as a last resort, the seller can
absolve himself from all blame by pro-
ducing a sort of disclaimer, printed in
his catalogue or on his shipping tags.
Here is a typical one: "Note — AH
plants are packed with the best care
within our power and are shipped en-
tirely at the buyer's risk. Our re-
sponsibility ceases with delivery, in
good condition, to the transportation
company. ' '
The controversy may go on indefinite-
ly, a court may render a decision in
favor of the shipper or the buyer, or
the express company may pay the dam-
ages, yet the* adjustment will never be
satisfactory from a business point of
view. The two contending parties will
forever be business enemies; the pos-
sibilities for any future business trans-
actions between the two never will
exist.
It requires a philosophical and broad
mind to arrive at some definite remedy
for this drawback of the business.
There perhaps is only one iron-clad rule
by wliich troubles and dissatisfactions
of this sort can be avoided, and that
rule at best is rather ambiguous. The
seller, if he is absolutely on the square,
does not enter the proposition as one
of the responsible parties. Either the
shipper or transportation company is
to blame. But whether or not the ship-
per is innocently or guiltily respon-
sible, or whether or not the transporta-
tion company is to blame, the power to
eliminate the greater part of all such
trouble rests in the hands of the ship-
per. The shipper's packing and wrap-
ping should be so thorough and so
well done that any damage to his ship-
ments in transit will be impossible. It
is not a question of fixing a blame. Pre-
vention is what is wanted, and the
shij)per is the only one who can pro-
vide it.
A conscientious grower knows that
none of his sales are completed until
his stock is delivered to the buyer in
good condition, despite the fact that
the average court would sustain his
claim to no responsibility after the
stock is receipted for by a local ex-
press agent. Incidentally, as every-
body knows, proper, thorough packing
is essential to the grower who aims to
build a business, for no buyer will let
the "same bee sting him twice."
CHICAGO.
The Market.
Changeable and erratic was the course
of the market last week. While one day
business was good with prices firm, the
next found a complete falling off of de-
mand. The warmer weather brought
in an increased supply of all kinds of
stock and at no time was there a scar-
city. Taken by and large, however,
business was fairly good and no real
cause for complaint can be found.
The supply of American Beauties is
larger than it has been and especially
is there more longer stemmed stock.
The demand, however, continues strong
and no difficulty was found in clearing
stock at quotation prices. Roses were
easily the firmest item on the market
last week, the demand being fairly
steady at all times. The supply is ample
and quality good. Russell easily is the
leader. Carnations fluctuated from day
to day, but on the whole good stock
moved fairly well at moderate prices.
There was a tremendous supply of
bulbous stock on the market last week,
brought on by the warm weather. Like
carnations, bulbous items were most
changeable, one day selling well at fair
prices, the next dragging heavily. There
is a much larger supply of bulbous stock
generally this year than in former
years. Jonquils and daffodils move

are slow. The supply of Darwins is
larger and prices are accordingly some-
what lower. Poeticus is near the end
of its season, as are freesias. Both
items move slowly. Eainbow freesias,
however, sell fairly well. Good lilies
are not plentiful. Callas also are in

the market. The supply of orchids is
sufficient to meet a mediocre demand.
Violets are plentiful and sell fairly well.
Sweet peas also are in ample supply.

Although greens are still scarce, larger

A new wholesale cut flower house will
be opened April 2 in the Atlas block,
Room 218, by D. E. Freres and R. J.
Windier. Mr. Freres has been in the
commission flower business for eighteen
years, being in business for himself the
last nine. Mr. Windier was formerly in
the business in St. Louis. He now oper-
ates the greenhouses in Rogers Park
formerly owned by Adam Zander. Both
men are thoroughly experienced and
well qualified for their new under-
taking.
Easter Prospects.
The market is confident that the
Easter business will break records, as
the early orders are unusually heavy,
the Monday morning mail of many
liouses having been the largest ever re-
ceived two weeks ahead of Easter.
Tliere is agreement that there will be
plenty of short and medium lilies and
that long lilies will be much less abun-
dant.
Some wholesalers say there will be
plenty of roses and no great abundance
of carnations, but others believe a few
days of warm, bright weather, such as
are due anytime now, will rush the rose
crops off and bring out the carnations.
The crops certainly advanced rapidly
under the influence of three spring days
last week.

EASTER
QUALITY FLOWERS
There have been times when it was almost impossible to secure high grade, first quality
flowers. Good flowers were particularly difficult to buy during holiday seasons, but
throughout it all Randall's reputation for service has stood— customers were supplied even
better during those trying times than under normal conditions. Now we are ready and
better able to supply the best in any quantity, when you want them.

Easter plants.
J. J. Hess, Omaha, Neb., was a visitor
last week. Mr. Hess says that he has
80 much work that he absolutely doesn 't

Albert B. Barber, of Cleveland, was

Easter stock for the string of five stores
for which he does the buying.
Thomas Cahill, of the Akron Flower

ket on Easter buying bent.
The presence of the following visitors
was noted last week: E. D. Ludwick,
Columbus, Ohio; D. MacRorie, San
Francisco, Cal.; E. T. Mazey, Minne-

BALTIMORE.
The Allied Bazaar.
Business in some of the uptown stores
fell off quite a bit last week, but the
cause was not difficult to find. The Al-
lied Bazaar, held at the Armory, was
the Mecca for everyone who had the
money to spend. The flower booth did
a plionomeiial business. It was in charge
of Mrs. Thom, with a group of Balti-
more 's fairest society girls for as-
sistants. How they did sell flowers!
There was one thing that struck many
a poor business man, and that was what
poor accountants they were, for they
did not know how to make change, no
matter what the size of the note one
gave. When you consider that the re-
ceipts for the week at the bazaar were
over $100,000, you are not surprised
that business in the stores was some-
what affected. Yet many of the florists
were busy for the bazaar, for, as in all
charity sales, everything was donated.
So there were lots of flowers sold to
friends of those who had charge of the
flower booth, and donated.
Another feature of this big fair was
the decorations. I have heard that the

The Murray Funeral.
Everyone had all he could do with
funeral work at the end of the week.
The funeral of Oscar G. Murray was
held in the main parlor of the Stafford
hotel, where he had made his home
since coming to this city. I think I am
safe in saying that no more elaborate
or greater profusion of flowers was ever
seen at a funeral. They were banked
in every possible space of this large
hotel parlor, and while the designs were
massive, coming from such sources as
the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad, his
own road, the Baltimore & Ohio, and
many others of the large railroads of
the country, simplicity and taste were
displayed in every piece.
The flowers at this funeral again
demonstrated that Baltimore has no
apologies to offer for those engaged in
the florists' business. Space will not
permit descriptions, but the only flowers
on the casket were in a bunch com-
posed of cycas leaves, Harrisii lilies,
lavender orchids and violets. Now, such

Various Notes.
Many of the boys took advantage of
the opportunity to see ^he two big
eastern shows. Mr. and Mrs. W. J.
Johnson and their daughter, of West
Madison street, went to New York and,
after doing the show there, stopped at
Philadelphia for the rose show on their
return. E. A. Seidewitz told me he
was going to New York, and I. H. Moss
said he would be there if he could get
away.
I certainly owe an apology to E. A.
Seidewitz. In a recent letter giving
a brief history of the Florists' Ex-
change, I said that during the life of
the exchange it had but three presi-
dents. This was an error, for, being
' the chairman of the committee that
first launched the project, no one

worked harder for its success. He also
served several times as its president.
Eobert Johnston, son of Mary Pater-
son Johnston, was quite proud of his
window in honor of Ireland's patron
saint, and justly. I saw it after it had
been partly taken to pieces, and it was
a creditable piece of work. My advice
is: "Go to it, Eobert, for there is no
better place to master the art of dec-
orating than right in your own window.
It is like music; you may have it in
you, but those who are masters will
tell you that it is the hardest kind of
daily practice that brings perfection."

well remember that before she retired
she was one of the leading florists of
the city. Going into her store on North
Charles street, one would think he had
been transported into ^rcadia, and here,
among artistic surroundings, the cul-
ture of the city was wont to meet. She
is still hale and hearty and on fine days
gets downtown to see how the two boys
are coming on.
Stock of all kinds is plentiful, with
the bulbous verging on a glut. Prices
are holding up well and to the ques-
tion, "How is business?" the answer
is invariably the same, "We have been
quite busy." With the store folks
talking this way, everything is going
well with the growers, who are now
up to their eyes in work shifting stock
about to get it in for Easter, or perhaps
to hold it back. I am sure after it is
all over we will just hear the same
old story, "This was the best Easter
we ever had." Tate.

The Market.
Business in general slacktucd con-
siderably last week, as is customary
previous to a big rusli. So far the Lenten
season has shown quite a bit of activity.
Funeral work is keeping up wonderfully
well and the special sale held every
Saturday keeps the market well cleaned
lip. The Easter outlook is encouraging,
with prospects for a good quantity of
cut and potted stock and promises of
good business. The quality of stock at
the present time is particularly good.
The supply of roses is large and good
stock is seen in Shawyer, Ophelia,
Sunburst, Maryland, Killarncy and
Montrose. The prices are within
reach of all. American Beauties are
not too plentiful, but meet the present
demands. Carnations are of fine qual-
ity and the market is well stocked with
them.
An abundance of sweet peas are
offered, including good stock of the
orchid -flowering, with long stems. They
come chiefly in pink; little is seen of
the whites and lavenders. Tlie supply
of Easter lilies is quite large. Callas,
too, are plentiful. Valley is not in de-
mand and the quality is inferior. Or-
chids move slowly. The market is well
stocked with jonquils and daffodils, for

are selling at $2 per hundred. Narcissi
and tulips in various colors move quite
freely. Myosotis is used liberally in
colonial corsages, for which there is a
growing demand. Snapdragons of pink
and salmon colors are of good quality
and sell well. Calendulas also find
easy sales. The market is well supplied
with all kinds of blooming plants, palms

shortage of cut Asparagus plumosus.

The Market.
The weather last week was excep-
tionally warm and bright. The sun,
gathering strength each day, helped
considerably, and stock came in quite
plentifully. Business in general was
fair and the clean-up was good, consid-
ering the quantity of stock of different
kinds to be disposed of.
Eoses are in large supply and the
cut for Easter will be exceptionally fine.
Some especially fine Eussell, as well as
Killarney and White Killarney roses,
will be in the market, but the supply of
Hoosier Beauty and Ophelia roses will
be limited as compared with the other
varieties. Carnations are coming in
strongly and the quality is fine this
year. The demand has been sufficiently
great, however, to take up almost the
entire supply, and no bargain prices
were necessary. The prospects for
Easter are good and there will be a
heavy cut at that time. Sweet peas
are not so plentiful as formerly and sell
out each day. The quality of the stock
is good, but it will not cut as much of
a figure in the Easter business as usual.
There will be a large supply of fine
double violets, but the singles are be-
coming scarcer each day and there will
be few in the market for the Easter
trade. There are plenty of fine orchids
in the market, but the demand is quite
light and this stock is not moving so
readily as it should. Cut lilies are sell-
ing well and the supply is large enough
to take care of all orders. Unless the
weather turns dark for a few days,
there is the possibility that this stock,
as well as some other classes of plants,
will be in a little too soon, as the
weather has been unusually bright.
Orders for both cut flowers and
plants now are coming- in fast, and
plant shipments have been going out
as fast as possible during the last few
days. The plant business has been
good so far, but the supply is extra

The Market.
The wholosalers feel that the danger
of overproduction before Easter has
passed. The market has been active at
moderate prices for the flowers re-
ceived.
There is no especial change in con-
ditions since last week's report. Sweet
peas are extremely fine. They are
offered in some ten different varieties,
covering white, purple, two shades of
lavender and half a dozen shades of
pink. Daffodils, mostly Emperor, are
to be seen everywhere. The receipts of
daffies are simply enormous. The qual-
ity stands prei-minently high, while the
price for such fine stock is exceedingly
moderate. In fact, good judges believe
that these Emperors are produced at a
loss, but the growers insist that this is
not tlie case. One of the loading grow-
ers of Emperor daffodils said this week
that by careful buying, economical han-
dling and putting the price within reach
of all classes of buyers, these fine flow-
ers were grown at a moderate profit.
Curiously enough, such heavy crops
turn small buyers into large ones. I
mean by that, that those buyers who
are ordinarily classed as large do not
move many iow-priced daffodils. It is
the smaller buyers and those who are
tempted into the market by the pros-
pect of a quick turnover. Many of
these are street men.
Owing to the frost in Florida, A spar
agus plumosus sprays continue scarce,
but they are slowly coming in again.

has led in some of the important con-
structive work in this country. While
nearly every florist of note in New York
city was called upon to send his de-
livery car to the New Jersey capital
that day, to the firm of Pennock Bros.,
in this city, was given the order for
the family flowers. So large was the
order that two delivery cars and sev-
eral men were sent over to deliver and
arrange the floral offerings. Charles W.
Kahlert, who has been for many years
with Pennock Bros., said that he had
never seen so many and such handsome
flowers gathered together in one place
before. Some idea of the extent of the
work performed can be gleaned from
the fact that the casket cover alone
cost $1,500. It was made of lilies of
the valley and orchids.

Mpntlon The Review when yoa write.
Particular significance is attached to
the exhibit of Pennock Bros, at the
National Kose Festival last week. The
idea embodied in this exhibit was that
of individualizing floral work, an idea
that deservQS far more attention from
our leading florists, l)ecause to its de-
velopment the ])rofcssioii must look
for advancement in floral art. Perliaps
this idea can be most clearly defined by
describing it as tlie exact op])osite of
the low price bargain sale, where a
thousand bunches of flowers are offered,
each one pretty much the same as any
other in the lot. The exhibit contained
special debutante baskets and l)ouquets,
carefully selected gifts for the dear lit-
tle bahy who has just arrived, and so
on. These baskets, bouquets, baby
gifts, etc., are individual. They are
not duplicated for any other debutante
or little .lair- In fact, they are ex-
pressly designed for the person to whom
they are sent and for that person only.
This is done by careful selection of
basket, or box, or vase, by painting, by
card, by ribl)on, and so on. Thought
is given to the choice of flowers and
their combination, to their color or col-
ors. The receptacle is in keeping with
the flowers. A showy receptacle is not
considered the thing, any more than it

NEW YORK.
The Market.
After one of the dullest weeks on
record, a "good Saturday" was more
than welcome. Prices grow firmer as
Easter draws near and a splendid cut
flower trade is anticipated.
It will not be a plant Easter, for there
are not enough blooming plants for the
demand. In fact, the invariable re-
sponse of a grower when I interviewed
him has been, "Nothing left to sell."
American Beauties came down last
week after a steady 75-cent top for
many weeks. The best could be had at
50 cents. Hadley gained enormously in
prestige last week at both the New York
and Philadelphia flower shows. The
demand for it grows, and it is running
neck and neck with Beauty. All other
varieties of roses are in good supply.
For low grade carnations $10 per
thousand was the price. Most of them,
however, were sold at better figures.
Longiflorum lilies were abundant and
from $8 down was the quotation. For
Easter the best are being booked at
$12, with $10 as the popular figure
Avith the majority.
Valley advanced last week to $5 per
hundred.
Callaa are now abundant, freesia lim-
ited, and plenty of daffodils and narcissi
for any possible demand.
There are no signs of lighter tulip,
sweet pea or violet shipments. The lat-
ter are looked for in big numbers for
Easter needs. The violet specialists
talk of them in hundred thousands. One
wholesaler sold half a million in a day
last week. There are plenty of spring
flowers as spring approaches — daisies,
jmnsies, stocks, snapdragon, wallflowers,
mignonette, calendulas and forget-me-
not.
In orchids there will be a fine va-
riety, such as Phalaenopsis Schilleriana
and P. amabilis. Southern gladioli are
not popular and are far too abundant.
Various Notes.
The International Flower Show is but
a memory. It will be some time before
tlic committee makes its final report,
but it may safely be asserted that the
exhibition was a financial and artistic
success.
xVnother sign of spring is the opening
of the horticultural auction sales, March
27, by the MacNiff Horticultural Co., 56
Vesey street. C. C. Trepel is holding a
daily auction of plants in his Blooming-
dale conservatories on Fifty-ninth
street, with John P. Cleary as auction-
eer.
It is certain that a prominent Broad-
wav florist will locate in tlie new hotel
now being built at Forty-seventh and
Forty-eighth streets and Madison ave-
nue, October 10. Within a stone's throw
are the stores of McConnell, Kottmiller,
liunyard, Armstrong, Ramm and Dards,
making this a great floral center in the
big city.
The trade will learn with regret of
the dangerous illness of Warren Spauld-
ing, manager of tiie wholesale store of
the Beechwood Heights Nurseries.

church meeting on West Fifty-seventh
street, suddenly, while speaking, he fell
forward in an apoplectic stroke.
At the funeral services for Millman,
the aviator, last week at Mineola, N. Y.,
many aeroplanes, laden with blossoms,
circled above the cemetery where he
was buried, and dropped flowers upon
his grave.

the unique enigma of floricultural
Brooklyn, is a member of the Boy Scouts
of that loyal village.
Lincoln Piersou has fully recovered
from a sovore illness.
Bert Robinson, of the Kcrvan force,
«iitertained the stork March 24 and
the old bird left a I'ii^-pound boy.
C. A. Dards returned last week from
his long southern trip, which included
South America.
J. IT. Small & Sons had charge of the
decorations last week for two notable
events, the Sloan-Dodge-Widener wed-
ding in New York, and the grand dis-
play at the Bellevue-Stratford hotel in
Philadelphia. The latter required a
large force of the firm's Washington
and New York -artists, as well as the di-
rection of Albert Small, of New York,
and Henry Small^ of Washington.
The business of the New York Flo-
rists' Supply Co. has grown so rapidly
that it has been found necessary to add
several auto trucks to the facilities.
William Sullivan is in charge of the
store of the Beechwood Heights Nurs-
eries during the illness of Mr. Spauld-
ing.
Alex. McConnell will have another
store on Fifth avenue for Easter week.
The leading retailers in New York are
following the fashion and are raising
the prices for cut flowers. This works
admirably A-ith the millionaires, who
seldom, if ever, inquire the cost of
flowers.
Warendorff opened his new store at
BroadAvay and Eight} fifth street March
24. It is a gem, and in a fine neighbor-
hood. Victor Warendorff is in charge.
This is the fifth store Herman Waren-
dorff has opened in New York and all
are successes.
David Clarke's Sons have a grand
Easter plant display in the big store at
2139 Broadway, and many line blooms
from their own greenhouses.
Charles Millang is now devoting his
entire attention to his cut flower de-
partment.
If war comes George C. Siebrecht has
a fast boat that will be tendered the
government in defense of the U. S. A.
J. Austin Shaw.
INDIANAPOLIS.
The Market.
Great quantities of stock are being
consumed daily. The call for all kinds
of potted plants and cut flowers is ex-
ceptional at this time, and the good sup-
ply is being well cleaned up. Eoses are
about the only item in the market in
limited supply. The varieties most in
evidence are Ophelia, Sunburst, Killar-
ney and White Bliliarney. Also in the
market, but less conspicuous, are
Hoosier Beauty, Milady, Hadley and
Richmond, and these seem to be losing
their popularity. The prices range
from $2 to $12 per hundred. Beauties
and Russells are scarce and bring from
75 cents to $4 per dozen.
Carnations in all colors are plentiful,
the best bringing from $2.50 to $3.

abundant, but long-stemmed fancy stock
is somewhat limited. Superb snap-
dragons are a valuable addition to the
market and tliey bring all the way from
$5 to $10 per hundred sprays, with the
pink and yellow leading in popularity.
Spanish irises are newcomers welcomed
for the Easter trade. A few yellow^
daisies, along with forget-me-nots, are"
also in evidence. Smilax has reached
the 20-cent mark and Hprengeri and plu-
mosus remain extremely scarce. Fern
leaves, however, are in ample supply,
but slightly higlier in price.
Various Notes.
The local stores are enjoying the best
Lenten business they liave known for
years.
B. R. Harris, of Huntsville, Ala., was
a recent visitor in the city.
The Bertcrmann Hros. ("o. reports ex-
ceptionally good business and tliat it is
well prepared for a big Easter business
with more than 4,(100 potted ])lants.
Hartje & Elder lost (piite a bit of
glass during the severe storm Mardi 2',\
— the same day tliat New Albany was
visited by the tornado. This firm has
been cutting some fine yellow daisies.
Clarence Tliomas and ('. H. Bookedis
have just returned from (Miicago, where
they liave been looking after Easter
stock.
Herman Young has been sick from an
attack of the grip.
Homer Wiegand is completing a new
residence at his country ])Iace near
Riverside park. Mr. Wiegand is a
chicken fancier and li.as a fine strain
of barred Plymouth Rock jjrize-winners.
He intends to erect a chicken range
and go into the business.
The next meeting of the State Flo-
rists' Association will lie held April :\,
at the Claj-jiool hotel. A large attend-
ance is expected, as some interesting
topics will be brought up for discussion.
.Tacob Hess, of Omaha, Xeb., was here
last week; also Isaac Kahn, of the
Wheatley Pottery Co.
The City market has had exception-
ally good business during tlie last week.
Prices, which a few weeks ago were
rather low, have improved, to the great
satisfaction of the majority. Potted
plants are numerous l)ut move rapidly,
including bulbous stock, cinerarias, aza-
leas, primroses, etc. Cut flowers have
also been receiving a good call.

The Market.
Business has not been good of late
and prices on the average are a little
lower than tliose of a week ago. Roses
have been moving sluggishly and are
only cleaned up at \(rw prices. There is
a marked scarcity of American Beau-
ties, but an abundance of all other roses.
The popular varieties continue to be
Ophelia, which is easily the most popu-
lar as well as most profitable rose today;
Lady Alice Stanley, Killarney Queen,
Killarney Brilliant, Hadley, Hoosier
Beauty, Ward and Kussell. Prices run
all the way from $10 per thousand to
the same amount per hundred, with
some fancies a little higher. Carnation
conditions have not changed much from
a week ago. Violets are abundant and
cheap; so are sweet peas. Many of the
latter now are of splendid quality.
Dutch bulbous flowers are overabundant
and are cleared with great difficulty.
Lilies are more plentiful and For-
mosa takes the lead. Yellow mar-
guerites arrive more freely, but sell out
nicely. Snapdragons are of much bet-
ter quality, with Xelrose the best of
the pinks. Cornflowers are extra fine,
but do not sell well. Callas are in large
supply, with Godfrey the leader. There
are now heavy supplies of calendulas,
anemones, ranunculi and primroses.
Gardenias are in the main short-
stemmed and sell cheaply, but the call
for cattleyas has been good. Green
supplies are meeting with a better sale.

Edgar Co. place, Waverley, March 24.
The houses were, as usual, filled to over-
flowing with a wealth of high-grade
plants for the Easter trade. Of gigan-
teum lilies 15,000 are grown, and a
splendid lot they are. While the major-
ity are grown one bulb to a pot, others
liave three or four bulbs to a 6-inch pot
and carry an average of twenty buds
and blooms each. French hydrangeas
are grown in quantity and are a splendid
lot. Genistas are seen in all sizes, some
being extra large specimens. Some su-
perb specimens of Pink Pearl and
White Pearl rhododendrons attracted
everyone's eye. Many Catawbiense
hybrids also are grown.
Baby ramblers are heavily grown and
I never saw a finer batch of Magna
Charta than those in one house. There
were over 1,500, potted January 8, in
prime condition. Such astilbes as Phila-
delphia, astilboides, Gladstone and
Queen Alexandra are grown in quantity.
Many hundreds of lilacs were beauti-
fully flowered, the leaders being Charles
X, Marie Legraye, Mme. Lemoine and
Spaeth. A long row of Pelargonium
Easter Greeting in 6-inch pots was finely
flowered. Of azaleas there were some
thousands, while pans of bulbs were seen
on every hand. Darwin tulips are heav-
ily grown, especially fine being Pride

For later flowering, large batches
were noted of hydrangeas in tubs, Cal-
ceolaria Stewarti, lilies and roses. Of
cyclamens a splendid batch of 14,000
were in pots or flats; also, an equal
number of Melior, Cincinnati, Lorraine
and Mrs. Peterson begonias. Bedding
plants in large quantities were hungry
for more growing space.
New additions are constantly being
made at the Edgar place. These include
a carpenter 's shop, in which an electric

out for a fine salesroom with an impos-
ing front, to be erected on the site now
occupied by Mrs. Edgar's house. A
new residence will be built on land now
occupied by coldframes. Kroeschell
boilers now heat the entire plant and
give complete satisfaction.
Following an inspection of the green-
houses refreshments were served to the
visitors, tlie party including many la-
dies. President Methven, of the Gar-
deners' and Florists' Club, voiced the
thanks of everyone for the many cour-
tesies extended and called on a number
of those present for remarks, those re-
sponding being Mrs. W. W. Edgar, II. II.
Bartsch, the able manager, who was
greeted with three cheers and a tiger;
James Wheeler, A. K. Eogers, W. N.
Craig, W. J. Kennedy, W. J. Stewart,
Eobert Kift, Robert Cameron, Fred
Lautenschlager, Peter Fisher and John
F. Briry. Perfect weather favored the
visitors and all voted the field day a
perfect success.
Bowling League Banquet.
The annual banquet of the Florists'

Young's hotel March 22. There was an
attendance of over 150. The .menu
proved to be an excellent one. The plan
of electing officers and transacting busi-
ness during the progress of the ban-
quet could hardly be called a success.

Various Notes.
One of the most interesting retail
growing establishments near Boston is
that of R. C. Bridgha.m, the Newton
Rose Conservatories. All plants and
flowers are disposed of at retail, and
nearly everything sold is grown on the
place, a wider variety being grown than
in any other establishment in this sec-
tion. Two houses are devoted to roses,
and they looked well. Mrs. Jardine was
fine and proves popular; also, "Ward,

cupy two houses. Pink Sensation
showed up splendidly; also Matchless,
Beacon, Champion, Gloriosa, Ward and
other varieties. One house of sweet
peas was in heavy crop; another had
seedlings only a few inches high, for
May and June flowering. Primulas,
cyclamens, begonias, cinerarias, acacias,
azaleas and a wide range of other pot
plants are grown, including even or-
chids. There are ten houses, all filled
with useful stock for the retail trade.
One is an attractive show house entered
from a neat salesroom. Outdoor roses,
hardy perennials, etc., are grown in
quantity. The establishment is the cen-
ter of a populous part of one of Boston 's
best residence sections and the retail
trade has been built up within five or
six years. Mr. Bridgham and his man-
ager, A. P. Calder, Jr., certainly have
accomplished much in this time and de-
serve congratulations.

At Perm's the bride ■window continues
to be a star attraction this week. Many
of the specimen flowering plants from
the late show are also on exhibition
here. Business is remarkably good.
Thomas Howden, for some years gar-
dener to Oliver Ames, at Prides Cross-
ing, Mass., has resigned his position to
go on a farm at Marlboro, Mass. Archie
McDonald, of Manchester, N. H., suc-
ceeds him at Prides Crossing.
While many growers have discarded
the Richmond rose, Thomas Roland
grows it remarkably well at his Revere
establishment, and as grown by him it
is still in the front rank. The sweet
peas at Revere are remarkably fine now.
Lewis Smith, of Tewksbury, is cut-
ting a superior crop of sweet peas and
bachelor's buttons at present.
John J. Fee, of Jamaica Plains, is a
bulb specialist whose flowers are always
of high-grade quality at this season.
Murillo and La Reine tulips, Victoria
and Golden Spur daffodils are some of
his best sorts, but a number of others
are grown. Mr. Fee each year is badly

Holland, having disposed of his inter-

According to A. H. Smith, of the Leon-

the company is in consequence forced to

ments were not observed in the issuance
of the receipts.
Accordingly, it was decided tjiat de-
liveries of seed made to the creditor
holding the receipts, within a few days
preceding institution of the bankruptcy
proceedings, amounted to an unjust
preference of that creditor over others
which was subject to be set aside. S.
IS DUTCH STOCK OOMINQ?
There is news for importers in the re-
port from Washington that a fleet of
fifteen Dutch steamships sailed recently
from a port in Holland for the United
States, by way of Halifax. The vessels
all are said to have steamed out the
same day and are believed to be well
north of the German submarine zone
around the British Isles.
It is intended by the Netherlands gov-
ernment, which has the ships under
charter, to have them load grain, prob-
ably in New York, and then return by
the same route they came. It was ex-
f)lained that lack of foodstuffs in Hol-
and made it necessary that .a large
Quantity be obtained at once aAd it was
elt that a merchant fleet could better
brave the dangers of the seas than in-
dividual ships. Many Dutch ships
loaded with grain now are being de-
tained in British ports either by the
British authorities or through fear of
German submarines, but the interest to
the trade lies in the possibility that
the Dutch fleet may be bringing the
shipments that have been accumulating
at Eotterdam since the last regular sail-
ing early in January.
THE FBEE SEED LAW.
Although every seedsman has felt
the effects of the free seeds distribution,
probably few have read the act of Con-
gress by which the free seeds are pro-
vided for. Here it is, from the agricul-
tural appropriations bill for 1917-18:
"For the purchase, propagation, test-
ing and congressional distribution of
valuable seeds, bulbs, trees, shrubs,
vines, cuttings, and plants; all neces-
sary oflfice fixtures and supplies, fuel,
transportation, paper, twine, gum,
postal cards, gas, electric current, rent
outside of the District of Columbia, offi-
cial traveling expenses, and all neces-
sary material and repairs for putting
up and distributing the same; for re-
pairs and the employment of local and
special agents, clerks, assistants and
other labor required, in the city of
Washington and elsewhere, $243,720.
"And the secretary of agriculture is
hereby directed to expend the said sum,
as nearly as practicable, in the purchase,
testing, and distribution of such valu-
able seeds, bulbs, shrubs, vines, cuttings,
and plants, the best he can obtain at
public or private sale, and such as shall
be suitable for the respective localities
to which the same are to be apportioned,
and in which same are to be distributed
as hereinafter stated, and such seeds so
purchased shall include a variety of veg-
etable and flower seeds suitable for
planting and culture in the various sec-
tions of the United States:
"Provided, that the secretary of
agriculture, after due advertisement
and on competitive bids, is authorized
to award the contract for the supplying
of printed packets and envelopes and
the packeting, assembling and mailing
of the seeds, bulbs, shrubs, vines, cut-
tings and plants, or any part thereof.

"An equal proportion of five-sixths
of all seeds, bulbs, shrubs, vines, cut-

be plainly indicated, and the secretary
shall not distribute to any senator, rep-

The Verdict of the
Expositions on
Swas-Teeka Cannas
IjSaWAS-TEEKA BRAND Cannas walked away with the gold
lEII medals at both the San Francisco and the San Diego Fairs.
That was the verdict. A verdict which means that when you
buy Swas-Teeka Brand Cannas, as the best Cannas to buy, your
opinion agrees with that of the judges at both Fairs as to what
the best Cannas to buy really are.
Milo M. Potter, President of the Potter Hotel Co., Santa Bar-
bara, Cal., visited the San Diego Fair. He saw our Gold Medal
Winner Cannas. This is what he wrote about them :
"While in San Diego, I visited the San Diego Fair and had the pleas-
ure of seeing your Cannas. I not only looked once, but several times- 1
mean by that I went away and then came back to look again. * * * Have
visited thousands of beautiful gardens and parks, but I have never
seen such Cannas as you have at the San Diego Fair."
These Gold Medal Winner Cannas are selling like hot cakes.

Pacific Coast Department
Santa Oroz, Cal. — Climatic conditions
have produced a short supply of Mexi-
can ivy this spring and it will be some
time before shipments of normal size
go to the eastern markets.
Benton City, Wasli. — Ward M. Mc-
Knight, a market gardener, says he in-
tends to try his hand at the florists ' busi-
ness, beginning this summer. Mr. Mc-
Knight is not a recruit, having seen
service in the trade several years ago.
LOS ANGELES.
The Market.
The Lenten season so far has been
a satistactory one to retailers and ship-
pers, but for a few days there has been
a faDing off in retail trado and out-of-
town business. Inquiries seem to fore-
shadow a good Easter, with stock none
too plentiful. The cool mornings and
nights are against field-grown stock and
the heavy moisture in the atmosphere
renders carnations peculiarly susceptible
to fungoid diseases, which are becoming
increasingly prevalent in this section.
Rotation of crops and study of these
diseases will have to be taken up by
growers if they intend to be successful,
and the hit-or-miss methods that have
been so long practiced will have to be
changed.
Regarding Easter lilies, growers say
their plants are going to be well on
time, and if so there will be a plentiful
supply, both for cutting and pots. Iti-
door roses are still fine, the only scarcity
being in good reds. The present week
has been remarkable for the largo
amount of funeral work done, Ijut a
good deal of money can be spent in
this witliout reducing the visible sup-
ply of stock much.
Valley is promised in good supply for
Easter, but how the realization will be
xemains to be seen. Orchids are still
scarce and hard to obtain. Baby roses
are becoming more plentiful, but those
from outdoors are short in the stem,
though brighter in color than the in-
door-grown. Daffodils are plentiful
now, but, according to present appear-
ances, they will be almost over in quan-
tity by Easter. Tulips should be just
right from outdoors. Greenhouse car-
nations are good and there is a fair
supply. Asparagus plumosus has been
cut so hard during the winter, and the
weather has been so cool, that this green
is practically out of the market, that
arriving being poor in color.
Various Notes.
The interest taken by owners of the
large private estates and the large num-
ber of new residences being erected are
healthy signs of the times. I was par-
ticularly impressed with this the other
day when looking over the Arthur
Letts estate at Hollywood. Mr. Letts
is one of our prominent merchants who
years ago built a fine residence and
planted the grounds to every class of
rare trees and shrubs obtainable, and
these have grown up to fine proportions.
Under the superintendence of A. A.
Hunt the grounds are now going through
a thorough overhauling, thinning out
fine specimens where necessary and re-
"We finil The Review a first-class
advertising medium and can assure
you that we will put in another ad-
vertisement as soon as we have stock
to offer.
"Hickey & Hollis.
"Petaluma, California, March 13. 1917."
moving them to other parts of the place.
Mr. Hunt has been successful in mov-
ing extra large plants of rare and val-
uable kinds and the grounds will be
much improved thereby. There are large
consignments of rare conifers arriving
now from the east and from English
nurseries, and these, with the many
unique specimens already there, will
round out a wonderful collection. Mr.
Hunt has made a careful study of
conifers and has practically all of these
unique varieties properly classified and
named, which makes the place an inter-
esting one to visit.
O. C. Saake has gone to Murrietta
Springs for a short visit, to recuperate
before the Easter rush.
The L. A. Floral Co. has been ship-
ping a great many flowers of the odor-
less African marigold, the flowers being
grown here under glass. They are as
large as a good Bonnaffon chrysanthe-
mum, of about the same color and last
for weeks.
George Smith reports big business at
the Seventh and Figueroa street store
and says that shipping is good from the
new nursery at Sherman. His first cata-
logue under the new regime has been
published.
Shipments are keeping up well at the
S. Murata & Co. establishment. Good
reports are coming in on the condition
of stock on arrival at Kansas and Mis-
souri points.
Morris Goldenson left March 20 on
a business trip to San Francisco. At
the store business is keeping up well.
There was a fine decoration for a fare-
well reception, in which large quantities
of peach blossoms were used with good
effect. A pall of violets and hyacinths
and a large number of other pieces were
made the same day for a funeral.
C. Brazee, of Wilmington, is sending
in remarkably fine tulips and hyacinths.
His stock is being handled by Tassano
Bros. H. R. Richards.
SAN FRANCISCO.
The Market.
Perfect spring weather, stock in am-
ple supply but not excessively plentiful,
quality good and demand seasonably
active, sums up the local market situa-
tion of the last week. Considerable
extra stock was moved St. Patrick's
day, especially white carnations, which
were at a premium. At present condi-
tions are a little more favorable for
the retailer than the wholesaler, as
there is plenty of good stock to be had
and the retailer can buy just what he
needs without fear of not being able to
get more if the occasion arises. There
has been a general recession in prices.
The rose situation has not changed
much since the last report, except that
offerings are more plentiful, without a
noticeable increase in demand.
Carnations seem to be going off crop
with some of the growers, but the sup-
ply is still ample to meet all require-
ments. Daffodils continue to arrive in

great numbers, but the heavy cut is
not expected to last much longer. They
have had a wonderful sale this season
and there is no hurry to see them go.
Darwin tulips are beginning to show
nicely, the only complaint being that
the stems are a little short, which has
been the case with all spring bulbous
stock, on account of weather condi-
tions. The flowers are good, however,
and there is no difficulty in moving the
rather limited supplies. Hyacinths are
plentiful and popular. Many wild flow-
ers are offered and they work up to
good advantage in basket arrange-
ments.
For decorative purposes, blossoms,
acacias and pussy willows have a good
call. More orchids could be used.
Gardenias are also in light supply.
Easter lilies, both cut and potted, are
plentiful and show excellent quality.

Plans for the consolidation of the

fornia Dahlia Growers' Association are
progressing nicely. Final action now
rests with a committee consisting of
five members from each organization
and an eleventh member to be chosen
by the ten. This committee has full
power to act. The representatives of
the society are: Messrs. Peckma ,
Dupuy, Henning and Durbrow and

store and, besides a nice counter trade,
much funeral work and many decora-
tions, she is working up an active ship-
ping business. Saturday, March 17, was
her best day to date, all departments of
the business making a splendid showing.
For a new enterprise the California
Florial Co. reports business fully up to
expectations at its store on California
street. The location is near an impor-
tant street car transfer station, and
careful attention to the display has a
tendency to bring the waiting passen-
gers into the store.
The Sunkist Floral Co., which opened
an attractive store a few weeks ago in
a new apartment house at Post and
Leavenworth streets, has decided to
give up the venture, as business did not
develop as rapidly as was expected. The
place has been dismantled and the fu-
ture activities of the proprietor have
not been announced.
C. Kooyman reports a good cut of
American Beauty, Killarney and Rich-
mond roses.
Frank H. Forrest, who recently
started in the decorating business on his
own account, is meeting with good suc-
cess. He has made contracts with va-
rious downtown business places to look
after their decorative work, and besides
has a good many wedding and other
decorations booked. One for April 25
is for an elaborate church wedding in
Berkeley, followed by a reception at the
Hotel Oakland.
^ The Art Floral Co. has had a busy
week, the principal item being funeral
work.
F. T. Schlotzhauer, proprietor of the
Francis Floral Co., is gratified that a
large new office and store building is
being erected on the opposite corner of
Powell and Sutter streets, as he figures
it will bring considerable extra business
to that district. He reports business
holding up well for the Lenten season.
The force at B. M. Joseph's is busy
getting novelties ready for the Easter
rush.
As a novelty for St. Patrick's day, a
member of Albert O. Stein 's force made
up some bouquets of new potatoes and
small onion sets, which created quite a
sensation at the stand in the Palace
hotel. One style was labeled "Mur-
phy's Irish bouquet," and the other
"Miss High Cost of Living." A good
many orders were taken and several
calls have come in since for similar
novelties.
Manager Axell, of the E. W. McLel-
lan Co., considers indications excellent
for a heavy Easter shipping business, in
view of the advance orders already re-
ceived.
The finishing touches are now being
put on Charles C. Navlct 's enlarged
store at San Jose, Cal., and he hopes to
be ready for the formal opening by
Easter. The establishment has been
i'ompletely rebuilt and embodies many
new features, which, it is said, will
make it one of the finest stores of its
kind on the Pacific coast. At the

Various Notes.
Silver Pink snapdragons from H. L.
Olsson's place have been the first in
the market. They are wonderful, with
stems four or five feet in length and
flower spikes sixteen to eighteen inches.
So far as can be learned, Mr. Olsson
will have the only spiraeas this Easter,
and even his supply is limited to about
200, all of which have been contracted
for at good prices. He has a splendid
crop of Easter lilies coming on, practi-
cally all of which are sold.
Jack Bjirt is wearing his usual smile,
indicative of a good business through
the winter. He recently bought a new
delivery car of neat design.
Donart & Stapleton, who are pushing
their seed department strongly, feel that
the elements are against them. After
almost five months of continuous win-
ter, there is no sign of a let-up. Conse-
quently, a seed display has a task be-
fore it in stirring up the gardening
"fever" in the system of the busy busi-
ness man.
The Spokane Florist Co. had an at-
tractive St. Patrick 's day window, fea-
turing an Irish castle and shamrocks.
Rarely have shamrocks and green dyed
flowers sold as well as this year.
Henry Reimers' store seems well pre-
pared for the Easter business rush. He
always has some of the best grown lilies
in the city. L. B. H.
POETLAND, ORE.
The Market.
The equinoctial storm came on time
this month and brought several days of
flisagreeable weather. The demand for
flowers was reduced and the supply be-
came less, apparently equal reductions,
which kept market conditions well bal-
anced. The call for funeral work has
been light for several weeks. This,
however, is considered accidental, and
not caused by any change in conditions.
Indoor-grown daffodils are gone and
none as yet are being cut from outside
plantings. This indicates that the sea-
son for outdoor daffodils is at least
two weeks behind that of last year.
All other sorts of bulbous blooms are
plentiful, though the seaeon for them
is nearing its close. High-grade cine-
rarias and genistas are in their prime,
and form strong features in several win-
dow displays. Stocks of Easter lilies
in the hands of the growers are reported
to be coming on in satisfactory form,

The Florists^ Review
Mabch 29. 1917.
March 20. Two new members were ad-
mitted and one application read. The
amount of stock g^^owing and available
for a festival center was canvassed, and
it was found that there was an abund-
ance among the growers, but that it
would need attention soon if it were to
be used for display. With this informa-
tion at hand, the committee on exhibi-
tions will await the action of the festi-
val board of governors.
H. A. Lewis, president of the Mult-
nomah county fair, announced that a
fund for a floral display would be appro-
priated, and asked that a committee be
appointed to arrange the premium list
and secure the planting of display beds
at the Gresham fair grounds. The chair
appointed John Zimmerman, J. Feser
and J. G. Bacher for this duty. A com-
munication from a firm supplying posters
and stickers advertising Mothers' day
was read and referred to the retailers.
Senator H. A. Lewis explained the
difficulties encountered in handling the
mechanics' lien bill in the recent legis-
lature and stated that some of the fea-
tures interesting to the trade were not
incorporated in the final draft. Later he
will have a copy of the bill and go into
details.
The president's desk was decorated
with a large bulb attached to a card
inviting members to name it. It was
concluded that it was one of the high-
priced onions which had changed shape
and color on account of its sudden rise
in the world, until J. G. Bacher identi-
fied it as a large specimen of Lilium
Henryi, John Zimmerman stated that
these large bulbs shrunk after blooming.
Mr. Bacher denied this, L. W. Scott
took the bulb home to grow it and set-
tle the dispute.
Various Notes.
The Portland Kose Society held its
annual meeting March 12. E. B. Mc-
Farland was elected president and Dr.
Emmet Drake, secretary. The society
plans to help supply roses to the dele-
gates attending the National Educa-
tional Association convention, which
will be held here in July.
The date of this year's rose festival
has been set as June 13 to 15. E. E.
Larimore was chosen to head the board
of governors, and William McMurray
has charge of the festival center. Some
of the decorative features will be kept
in place until the N. E. A. convention
meets in July.
John Willius is cutting some good
sweet peas at his range near Beaver-
ton.
Several large growers are forcing
for Easter all of the hydrangea stock
they have. Large quantities of this
stock were frozen early last fall and it
is worthless.
Clarke Bros, are busy shipping mail
orders, the result of their last cata-
logue.
Easter lilies are reported in excellent
condition at the ranges of the Rahn &
Herbert Co., Clarke Bros., the Martin &
Forbes Co., the Holden Floral Co., the
Wilson, Crout & Gehr Co. and the Ton-
seth Floral Co.
James Forbes, of the Martin & Forbes
Co., said he did not expect any surplus
of lilies in the market after Easter.
William E. Wood, of the Scott-Wood
Co., said he had leased a greenhouse to
be used as a cool house for bedding
stock. The greenhouse is in the Colum-
bia park district. S. W. W.

EEBOSENE EMUXSION.
Directions for the mixinp of kerosene
emulsion are contained in a new Farm-
ers' Bulletin, No. 72.3, "The Oyster-
shell Scale and the Scurfy Scale," by
A. L. Quaintance and E. R. Sasscer. For
a stock solution, sixty-six per cent oil,
the formula is:
Kerosene 2 Krallons
Fish-oil or laundry soap (or one quart soft
soap) u, )Hi<inil
Water 1 eallon
First dissolve the soaj) in l>oiling
water; then remove the vessel from the
fire. Immediately add the kerosene and
thoroughly agitate the mixture until a
creamy solution results. The stock
emulsion may be more conveniently
made by pouring the mixture into the
tank of a spray pump and pumping the
liquid through the nozzle back into the
tank for some minutes.
The stock solution, if well made, will
keep for some months and is to be di-
luted before use. To make a ten per
cent spray, the strength for trees in
foliage, add to each one gallon of the

emulsion will be simplified by the use
of a naphtha soap. No heat will be
required, as the kerosene will combine
readily with the naphtha soap, in water,
when thoroughly agitated. Double the
quantity of naphtha soap given in the
above formula, however, will be re-
quired, and soft or rain water should be
used in making the emulsion. In re-
gions where the water is hard this
should first be broken with a little caus-
tic potash or soda, as common lye, be-
fore use for dilution, to prevent the soap
from combining with the lime or mag-
nesia present, thus liberating some of
the kerosene, or rain water may be em-
ployed.

within and throughout the United States, exists
in the states of Maine, New Hampshire, Ver-
mont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut,
New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Wiscon-
sin and Minnesota, on account of which it
appears necessary to quarantine them, together
with certain other states or portions thereof,
as indicated in the next paragraph hereof, in
accordance with Section 8 of the Plant Quaran-
tine act of August 20. 1912, as amended by the
act of Congress approved March 4, 1917, and to
prohibit or regiilate the movement from said
states to other states and territories of flve-leafed
pine nursery stock and currant and gooseberry
stock.
It seems advisable to consider the establish-
ment of tills quarantine either at the line of
the western boundary of North Dakota, South
Dakota. Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma a/id Texas,
or at the western boundary of Minnesota, Iowa,
Missouri. Arkansas and Louisiana, or at the
Mississippi river, or at some other line within
these states.
NOTICE OF QUARANTINE.
The Federal Horticultural Board has
given notice of a proposed quarantine of
the New England and other states to
prevent the spread of the white pine
ilister rust. The notice reads:
The secretary of agriculture has information
that a (lauRerous disease, known as the white
pine hlister rust or Perldermlum strobl Kleb.,
It also seems desirable to prohibit or regulate
the movement of said stock from tlie moat
seriously infected states, viz.: Maine, New
Hampsliire, Vermont. Massachusetts, Rhode
Island. Connecticut and New York, to those of
less serious Infection.
A public hearing will be held at the Depart-
ment of Agriculture, Washington, D. C, Room
410 Bieber building, at 10 a. m., April 10, 1917.
in order that any person interested In the pro-
posed quarantine may be heard either In person
or by attorney.

rust has spread alarmingly In the previonaly

west. The increase in the powers of the secre-
tary of agriculture to deal with the movement
of dangerously infected domestic nursery stocli,
conferred by recent congressionnl action, has
made more effective measures ])Ossible.
The importation of the five-leafed
pine from Europe already is prohibited
and it is proposed to establish a quar-
antine against currant and gooseberry
plants. The notice reads:
The secretary of agriculture deems it necessary,
in order to effectively prevent the introduction
into the United States of the white pine blister
rust or Peridermium strohi Kleb.. to extend
the provisions of notice of Quarantine No. 7,
Issued May 21, 1913, to forbid the importation
of all currant and gooseberry plants from Europe
and Asia.
In compliance with Section 7 of the Plant
Quarantine act of August 20, 1912. a public
hearing will be held at the Department of Agri-
culture. Washington, D. C, Koom 410 Bieber
building, at 10 o'clock a. m., April 10, 1917, in
order that all persons interested in the importa-
tion of currant and gooseberry plants from

SPRAY FOR PEAR LEAF WORM.
The pear leaf worm, an insect which
does considerable damage to pear or-
chards, especially on the Pacific coast, is
easily controlled by spraying. A con-
tact spray is usually effective in con-
trolling the insect in the larval stage,
and should be applied when the blossom-
ing period is about over and two-thirds
of the petals have fallen. The following
formula for a contact spray is given in
a new professional paper of the bureau
of entomology, U. S. Department of Ag-
riculture: Fish-oil soap, one pound;
water, twenty-five gallons; nicotine
sulphate (forty per cent concentrate),
one part to 1,200 parts of the spray.
When the infestation is severe and
promises destruction of the foliage, a
poison spray made of four pounds of
lead arsenate to 100 gallons of water
should be used. The best time for ap-
plying this is when the holes in the
leaves are not larger than one half inch
in diameter.
KANSAS CITY, MO.
The Market.
The report from almost everyone is
that business is heavy. Lent has not
been thought of or noticed in the least,
as the market is cleaned up every day
in all kinds of flowers, with the excep-
tion of sweet peas of the lower grades.
This year there were almost twice as
many grown. The better grades hold
well in price. American Beauties have
increased in supply and the prices are

lower. All other roses are bringing fair
prices. The demand is heavy, but the
supply is large enough to meet it. The
carnation supply is large, but is cleaned
up easily by reason of much funeral
work. The bulbous stock is the best
ever seen here, especially tulips and
jonquils. A great many Darwin tulips
meet with an exceptionally good safe.
Lilies are more plentiful. Greens of

Various Notes.
Arthur Newell reports that he does
not see any of the usual effects of the
Lenten season. The men are working
overtime to get out the orders, includ-
ing advance orders for Easter.
T. J. Noll & Co. have had an unusually
good week. They have cleaned up all
cut stock daily. Mr. Noll is handling
many American Beauties. His supply
trade for Easter is heavy, especially in
pot covers already made. Mrs. Noll
spent last week visiting in St. Louis.
Frank Stuppy, of St. Joseph, was in
the city last week. He was on his way
home from New York.
W. J. Barnes had an unusually busy
week in funeral work and a great sale
of flowering pot plants of all kinds. He
now has most of his greenhouses filled
to the doors with spring bedding stock.
He has a fine batch of spireeas in for
his Easter trade.
Edward Ellsworth has a good line of
stock at his greenhouses. He has a
large quantity of young chrysanthe-
mums, about 10,000 for next year.
E.. Humf eld has his place well filled
with plants of aU kinds for Easter. As
usual, he will have a fine batch of
azaleas ready.
E. G. Bunyar, of Independence, has a
fine line of spring bedding stock. He
uses a Skinner irrigating system
throughout his houses and expects to
add more greenhouses.
Business across the state line has been
exceptionally good, especially in fu-
neral pieces and blooming pot plants.
Orders are coming in fast for Easter
stock and decorative work. W. J. B.
Hogan, W. Va. — Flowers have been
sold on the same premises as drugs,
fruits, candies and groceries, so perhaps
it is nothing unusual for the Hogan Art
Store to couple flowers with pictures,
kodaks or painters' oils.

The Market.
After a long siege of disagreeable
weather, this week brought with it de-
lightful spring (lays. Trade lias been
good in all lines. The old Lenten buga-
boo of diminished business seems to
have missed us, for, despite the fact
that there has not been much social
activity, business has been excellent.
Hoses are more plentiful, but as yet
there is no oversupply. Carnations are
about equal to the demand. Lilies have
been scarce, but now are arriving in
large quantities. Tulips and daffodils
are a glut in the market. Extra fine
sweet peas are so plentiful that cheap
prices are necessary to move them.
The retailers are getting ready for the
Easter trade. The stores are attractive
with their blooming plants and combina-
tion baskets. Large funeral orders
have helped to keep everybody busy.
Various Notes.
The Fox Flower Shop is an attractive
store in the Jenkins building, corner of
Fifth and Penn avenues. After April 1
a stand will be opened in the Arcade.
A. Krongold has rented a large store
on Liberty avenue, near Olive street,
where he is making a fine display of
foliage and blooming plants for Easter.
He purchased 2,000 azaleas recently and
says he has cornered the azalea business
in this city.
Miss Gertrude Renziehausen, an em-
ployee of the Ludwig Floral Co., was
struck by an automobile while on her
way home March 24. She was not se-
riously injured. Clarke.
Do It Now!
Go over your Rose Houses carefully and estimate the plants you need
for replanting this Spring, and place your order. Roses are going to be
scarce. The Manetti situation is such that those who get it are fortunate, and the
demand is far greater than the limited supply. We have sold over 109,000 grafted
Roses in the last two weeks. We have 200.000 more to sell. There is considerable
building contemplated. "Changing from Carnations to Roses" is a frequent expla-
nation made when placing an order. If you are short at planting time it will be
your fault and not ours. The growing of grafted Roses is an industry in itself. At
Cromwell the large quantity of Roses grown for cut flowers makes it possible to get
scions that are first-class. We want your Rose Plant order, and we want to be able
to say "yes" to your inquiry. Estimate your requirements and write us.

MINNEAPOLIS.
The Market.
Preceding the Easter rush, business is
quiet, but lias been fair. "With few-
society functions and funerals, the week
has passed without much excitement or
work. This is good in one way. The
florists all over the city are at work
planning for the Easter trade. The
stores are being arranged so that every
space can be utilized. The growers are
also busy getting their stock ready for
their customers.
Stock is coming in well. There are
still lots of bulbous stock in daffodils,
tulips, ]>oeticus and jon<inils. Prices
range about $2 for these. (Jood quality
roses are also coming in at ])rices from
$4 upward. Hichmond brings about $.H,
as does Ophelia, for which there is much
demand.
Violets and forget-mo-nots are in the
market in good sujijily and have a steady
demand. Some fine jiurjde iris has been
displayed by the florists, l)ut there are
only a few and they are hard to get.
Some genistas and purple wistaria are
in the stocks of a few florists, but there
are only a few growers of these about
the city. I'lants are already coming in
for the Easter market. Primroses, be-
gonias and hydrangeas are in, but as
yet they are not ])leiitiful.
Various Notes.
The Lakewood cemetery greenhouses
have some fine crotons, receiving about
oOU from the east last week.

ALL OUR ROSES ARE 3 YEAR OLD, STRONG FIELD GROWN
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. After March Lltli, they should carry
safely by freight.

Easter Plants
We have our immense stock of Blaster plants now ready to ship out, and we recom-
mend the immediate placing and shipping of orders. Early-blooming plants carry
much better when they are far enough advanced in bud than those in full bloom; be-
sides, the express companies can handle the early shipments better than those shipped
during the week before Easter.
Don't delay— place your order at once with ASCHMANN BROS, and have good
stock to sellTOur customers this Easter. Personal selection and growing of stock has
enabled us to offer to the Trade as fine an assortment of plants as can be seen any-
where, of good commercial sizes and at the right price for good stock.

Easter Greetings and the Chaps Who Grow 'Em.
NOW IS THE TIME
to prepare for after- Easter business. Fill your space with 25-cent and 75-cent plants instead of 15 and
25. That means 'Easter Greeting." It's the most profitable plant grown. It sells on sight. It's a
wonder. We are prepared with a fine stock for immediate shipment. Given a shift, they'll return you more auick cash than any plants
you ever had. 2'a, 3 and 4-inch Easter Greeting and Lucie Becker. 7c, 9c and 16c each; Swabian Maid and Wurtembergia, 3 inch, 12c. We
favor small buyer, because we know he'll come again. Absolute guarantee.
S. C. TEMPLIN & SON, Easter Greeting Specialists, GARRETTSVILLE, OHIO
DAVENPORT, R. ISLAND, MOLINE.
The Markets.
Trade was quieter last week — a lull
before the Easter rush. Roses, carna-
tions, callas and Easter lilies are plenti-
ful. All kinds of bulbous stock, with
the exception of Paper Whites, are in
excellent supply, but the demand for
these is good because prices are low.
Some good snapdragons are seen, while
sweet peas, violets and other flowers are
plentiful enough to supply the wants of
the trade. Potted stock is in good de-
mand.
Various Notes.

The Market.
The weather now is favorabU^ for
planting and everyone is hustling to
make up for lost time. Thousands of
earnations will go in the field this week
and those who grow vegetables as a
part of their business will find this one
of the busiest weeks of the year.
Tlie demand for seeds and bulbs over
the counter is heavy now. (Jladioli are
being ])lanti'd freely. Bedding jjlants
will begin to move by tlie last of the
week.
The Easter stock is being subjected
to more heat or ])laced in cool houses,
according to its jyrogress. The outlook
is for tlie best Easter trade the city has
ever known, and most of the stock
])roniises to be on time. There is little
novelty in sight for Easter this season.
Sometiiing good and deciih'dly different
is needed for the Easter trade, it seems.
• Various Notes.

gist and secretary of tlie Tennessee

PROVIDENCE, R. I.
The Market.
The approach of Easter is being vivid-
ly foreshadowed by the increasing num-
ber of department stores, corner gro-
ceries and fruit stands that are display-
ing potted bulbous stock. Few lilies
have yet put in an appearance, but it is
understood that the supply will be fully
adequate to meet all demands. The cut
by the outsiders is being felt already
by the flower stores, but the unusually
large call for funeral work tends to
equalize the market.
In view of the city 's successful plant-
ing day last spring, when thousands of
rose bushes and other plants were put
into the ground, Mayor Gainer has is-
sued a proclamation to the people of the
city, setting aside April 21 as Planting
day in Providence this year. The ar-
rangements for the planting day are be-
ing made by a special committee of the
Providence Chamber of Commerce,
which has unanimously agreed upon the
bush honeysuckle, or Lonicera Tatarica,
and golden bell, or Forsythia Fortune!.
Superintendent of Parks Frederic C.
Green, City Forester Alexander H. John-
son, Prof. E. K. Thomas, of the Ehode
Island State College, and Secretary
John J. Dunn, of the State Board of
Agriculture, are assisting in the cam-
paign. Last year 23,000 Dorothy
Perkins climbing roses and spiraea were
distributed.
Various Notes.
The town budget of Bristol, adopted
last week, contained an appropriation of
$150 for parks and $800 for the care
and replacing of the famous old elms.
Timothy O'Connor had the decora-
tions for the Corinthian Lodge of
Masons on Ladies' night at the Turk's
Head club, Tuesday evening, March 20.
Stephen Greene, representing H.
Bayersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia, was a
business visitor in the city last week.
William Jurgens, of Newport, accom-
panied by his cousin, Augustus Jurgens,
of Chicago, 111., was in the city last
week.
One of the greenhouses belonging to
the range of James B. Canning, on
Smith street, had a narrow escape from
fire a few days ago. Fortunately, the
flames were extinguished before they
had attained much headway, but several
hundred dollars' worth of damage was
done to plants by smoke.
The annual appropriations of the
town of North Attleboro, made last
week, included $150 for public parks;
$500 for tree warden; $400 for forest
fires, and $2,500 for gypsy-moth depart-
ment.
James Eodger has been elected tree
warden of the town of Warren.
Bernard Quinn, with Richard Higgins,
is convalescing from an attack of
pneumonia.
William E. Chappell, of Branch ave-
nue, was taken to a private hospital last
week for treatment for a nervous break-
down and complications.
The town of Warren has appropriated
$300 for the care of trees during the
next year.
Henry Patri, with Johnston Bros., is
suffering from a severe attack of the
grip.
Mr. Addelman was in the city last
week calling upon the trade of the M.
Eice Co., Philadelphia, Pa. W. H. M.

<I.We are now booking orders for our new seedling Superb, $12.00 per 100,
$100.00 per 1000.
Superb is a seedling of Gloriosa and Enchantress. It has the good stem of Qlori-
oss and the fine growing habit of Enchantress. The color is a flesh pink and it
keeps its color at all seasons. The flowers average about three inches, are very full
and generally receive full score on substance. The flowers are all perfect and do
not split. In the four years we have grown it, it has proved the best commercial
variety, barring none.

The Market.
The market last week was well siip-
plicd witli stock. Beauties, of course,
hold riglit up to their niarfjin and clear
readily at a jjood figure. Other roses
are in more than sufficient supply, as
well as carnations and l)ull)ous stock.
Some excellent snajxlragons and sweet
peas are to be had. Easter lilies and
callas are also more ]dentif ul. All kinds
of potted ])lants are available and
Easter lily plants are bejjinning to ap-
pear on the mai'ket. A'iolets and orcliids
sell briskly.

OT
GOOD
Putting the Water
On the Flowers
Were you spraying the carnations
this morning?
Down the long aisle you pulled
and tugged and strained, the poor
hose twisting and flopping and kink-
ing after you.
And when you had untangled the
snarls and ' straightened the kinks,
only a measly dribble greeted the
drooping plants and flowers.
Cracks and breaks in the hose
were stealing the water from them.
You can rid yourself of such annoyance
by simply installing Goodyear Wingtoot
Lawn Hose in all of your greenhouses.
Then does your morning sprinkle or
washout become a pleasant duty.
Then do cinder and concrete walks and
obstructing bench legs offer no damaging
resistance to hose so well made.
Goodyear Wingfoot Hose is, in fact,
amply fortified against greenhouse abuse.
The seamless tube is of active rubber
and braided cotton that will not become
hard and brittle, yet does not soften and
"mash."
So well made is Goodyear Wingfoot
Lawn Hose that every foot of it is guaran-
teed not to burst within two whole lawn
hose seasons.
Ask your own supply dealer for further
facts concerning Goodyear Wingfoot Lawn
Hose service.

Creenhonse Heating.
SuBSORiBXRS are invited to write th*
Editor of this Department with regard to
any details of greenhouse heating that
are not understood. But please do not

paratus for you. The greenhouse heating

' believe, the best for the trade to buy.
and each article the best in the special
field of its adaptation.
UP GOES THE FREIGHT.
Growers in the cities where Poca-
hontas and New Eiver smokeless coals
are used are threatened with a further
increase in the price of fuel. Declaring
that the railroads of the country are
facing a most serious situation by rea-
son of greatly increased costs of opera-
tion and rapidly declining net earnings,
a delegation of the presidents of the
seven principal carriers of bitiiminous
coal from the West Virginia fields ap-
peared before the Interstate Commerce
Commission March 22 and asked ap-
proval of advances in freight rates.
The proposed advances would affect
shipments to the Atlantic seaboard and
the lake ports. The tariffs which have
been filed provide for increases of 5
cents a ton to Hampton roads and New-
port, 10 cents a ton to Baltimore, Phila-
delphia and New York, and 15 cents a
ton to the lake ports.
Samuel Rea, president of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad system, acted as spokes-
man for the railroad executives. Rea-
sons cited by him to show the immediate
necessity for higher rates on coal and
other freight included the advanced cost
of materials and fuel, the Supreme court
decision on the Adamson Wage Act, the
scarcity, high price and inefficiency of
labor in general, and the constant in-
creases in taxes. Advances in fuel
prices alone, Mr. Rea said, will involve
an added cost of at least $37,000,000 a
year to the seven railroads represented.
STOCK WAS NEAELY FROZEN.
Kindly give mo ^our expert advice
as to the best way of remedying the
faults in the piping of my greenhouse. I
had a steamfitter on the job, and I sus-
pect he was thinking of steam instead of
hot water. The greenhouse is 22x90 and
twelve feet high to the ridge. The side
walls are five feet high and the south
wall contains two feet of glass. The
house is well protected. I have a Wilks
boiler, 36x48, with two 3-inch open-
ings, from which are run two 2V^-inch
flows, which slope slightly upward in
the greenhouse, so that the highest point
is at the farther end from the boiler.
One flow feeds the coils at the north
wall and under the center bench. The
other flow feeds the coil under the south
bench and the piping in a small store,
16x18 and ten feet high to the ceiling,
in front of the grponhonso. The store
is piped for about scvonty five square

GREENHOUSE
HEATING
You can positively rely on Kroeschell Boilers to produce
an even and steady supply of heat, insurin^^ the most perfect
gTovrlng conditions at all times.

boiler, and are known as the quickest hot-water heaters and
the fastest steamers ever designed— easily installed — burn any
kind of fuel.
THE WORLD'S SUPREME GREENHOUSE BOILER RECORD
Our company takes pride in announcing that the year just closed
goes on record as the world's highest mark in the sales of greenhouse
boilers. During the year of 1916 we sold direct from factory to user the
following boilers for greenhouse heating :
Kroeschell Greenhouse Hot Water Boilers 1,639,500 sq. ft. glass
Kroeschell Tube] ess Hot Water Boilers 104,860 sq. ft. glass
Kroeschell Tubeless Steam Boilers 65,400 sq. ft. glass
Kroeschell Water Tube Steam Boilers 203,200 sq. ft. glass
Kroeschell High pressure Steam Boilers 1,003.336 sq. ft. glass
Total 3,016,286 sq. ft. glass
THE REWARD OF MERIT
The Kroeschell is used by the leading florists in this section of the country, and
mighty is their praise. The Kroeschell is making the most wonderful greenhouse
beating record in St. Louis. We invite you to call on our customers and will be
pleased to have you put the question point-blank : "What do you think of the Kroe-

feet of radiation. The coils drop sliglit-
ly toward the boiler. The coil at the
north wall consists of six I'l.-inch
pipes; the center coil has four lil'-inch
pipes and the south coil has six such
pipes. All the coils are about eighty-
one feet long and they run into a ii-inch
main, which branches into two ojjenings
at the lower end of the boiler. The boil-
er is set in a 2-foot pit. There is a %-
inch pipe from the main return to the
expansion tank, which is three feet
above the highest ])oint. The chimney
is about sixteen feet liigh and has a 1 fl-
inch Hue. Each of the Hows has an air
cock at the highest point.
The temperature should be 60 to 6.1
degrees when the outside temperature
is 10 degrees below zero. On several
occasions I have been nearly frozen out,
when the thermometers outdoors indi-
cated 14 to 1(5 degrees below zero. The
highest temperature I could kee}) was
35 degrees, or just above freezing. Is
there enough pi])ing in the house?
Which is the better system, uphill or
downhill, as far as fuel or circulation is
concerned.' For some unknown reason,
I have never been able to get the tiier-
mometer at the boiler to register over
200 degrees. C. F. C— 111.
So far as can be judged from the
data furnished, there is no one thing
to Avhich the difiiculty in heating the
greenhouse can be ascribed. Although
200 degrees is a fair working tempera-
ture for the water in tlie boiler, there
should ])e no difiiculty in l)ringing it to
the boiling i»oint if the attempt is made.
The fact that a boiler .36x48 inches will
not bring the water above 200 degrees,
when tiiere is less than !»U0 s(|uare feet
of radiation, indicates that there is
something wrong either in the firing or
with the draft from the boiler. While
a chimney ten inches in diameter and
sixteen feet high should answer for the
foregoing radiation, it is possible that,
owing to the character of the surround-
ings, a height of twenty-four feet
would be iu)ne too much, especially as
the boiler is considerably larger tiian
necessary for the radiation.
On the other hand, if a temperature
of 60 degrees is to be maintained, we
would use at least 100 square feet of
radiation in addition to what is listed,
unless a closed system is used, and noth-
ing will be gained in ])laciiig the water

Ramsburg Locking Pot
MADE OF MANILA BOARD
Our Manila Board Pots and Bands are perfection in style, strength,
and quality. They are quickly set up and, being heavy, are easily
filled and as easy to remove when plants are grown. They peel off
as readily as a banana skin. You will appreciate tiiis advantage when
you have tried to remove a plant from a thin paper band or from a
nailed-together pot. Thin paper sticks to the roots and practically be-
comes a part of the plant, whUe our MANILA BOARD peels off as
a pot should — no trouble; no cuss words.
Scores of repeat orders prove all of the above points, plus better
plants. Throughout the country there are millions of plants growing
in our Manila Board bands and pots. On our own premises we have
thousands of bands in use filled with carnations, geraniums, cannas,
and various bedding plants.
You can find nothing better than the Eamsburg Locking Pot, made
of Manila Board. We can make immediate shipments of all sizes.
State whether wanted by express or freight. Send postal for samples
and prices.
Our bands and pots are favorites with experiment stations. Last
week we made shipments to four of them. The Michij^an station at
Ann Arbor has had three large shipments. Get your samples and join
with the successful growers.

under pressure unless it can be raised
above the boiling point.
For a house ninety feet long we would
use fourteen 2-inch pipes for the re-
turns. For the flows three 2%-inch pipes
will be necessary, for good results in
an open-tank system. The additional
flow could be placed upon the plate of
the south wall. A 2-inch flow to the
store could be taken off from the main
which supplies the 4-pipe coil. The
present location of the flows supplying
the coils under the middle and north
benches need not be changed. If the
1 Mi-inch returns are to be retained, we
would use two additional pipes, placing
one in each of the outside coils. While
we prefer to run the flows downhill and
connect the highest point of each flow
with the expansion tank, we would not
think it worth while to make the
change.
When an open-tank system is used,
we prefer to have the top of the boiler
below the lowest point in the returns.
This change alone would greatly in-
crease the efficiency of the system, but
it will not be satisfactory until it is
possible to bring the water in the boil-
er to the boiling point. This would also
be necessary before any benefit could
be secured by placing the system under
pressure. For use with a closed system
no change would be necessary in the
number or size of the flows and returns,
and good results could be secured with
the boiler as now placed.
Monmouth, lU— The delivery auto of
the Monmouth Floral Co. and a pleasure
car met unexpectedly at a corner last
week. There was too much vim about
the flower car to mind the broadside,
and it proceeded on its way under its
own power, leaving behind a wreck. The
collision was entirely accidental.

FOET WATNE, IND.
fi^t
The Market.
We have been enjoying typical April
weather during the last week and vege-
tation shows signs of growth. The
weather has not had a stimulating ef-
fect on the florists' business in this lo-
cality and it has fallen off considerably
within the last week or ten days, fu-
neral work being the main standby of
the retail florist. There have also been
a couple of large weddings, but outside
of this the trade has been dull.
The supply of cut flowers is flooding
the market, owing to the unseasonably
warm weather. Eoses are exceptionally
plentiful and the quality remains good.
The best varieties on the market are
Bussell, Ophelia, Shawyer, Sunburst and
Bichmond. The supply of American
Beauties is not large. Carnations are
plentiful, one grower remarking, "We
have oceans of carnations."
Sweet peas are holding their own
and, except for a slight curtailing of the
length of the stems, there is no dete-
rioration in their quality. Lily of the
valley is noticeably more plentiful than
it has been all winter. Violets are be-
coming scarce. Orchids are moderately
plentiful and good prices prevail. Lilies,
both Easter and calla, are in good sup-
ply and there is a host of varieties in
bulbous stock available.
Green goods are scarcely available.
Smilax is being held by the growers for
Palm Sunday and Easter. The former
day sees a large demand for greens and
flowers for decorating the city churches.
In the plant line the varieties are nu-
merous, and include some specimen
plants of cinerarias, cyclamens, azaleas,
rhododendrons, lilacs, rambler roses,
primroses and bulbous stock in every
seasonable variety.
Various Notes.
W. J. & M. S. Vesey had charge of a
large and fashionable wedding March
24. There were six in the bridal party,
who carried baskets and colonial bou-
quets of orchids, Shawyer roses and
sweet peas, while the bridal bouquet
was composed of white orchids and
Kaiserin roses made in shower effect.
The decorations at both the church and
house were elaborate.
Miss Catherine Vesey has just re-
ceived her new 4-pa3senger Auburn
roadster.
Miss Margaret Vesey has gone to
Terre Haute, Ind., to attend the state
meeting of the King's Daughters, of
which she is an ex-president.
Mrs. Cecil Max, who had been spend-
ing several weeks in this city visiting
her father. Judge W. J. Vesey, and fam-
ily, has left for her home in Muncie,
Ind.
A recent visitor was a«representative
of the Eaedlein Basket Co., Chicago,
who called on the trade here on his way
to the home oflSce. He reports business
brisk this season.
A. J. Lanternier & Co. are making
preparations for the Easter business.
Their greenhouses on Walton avenue
are a revelation in the florist's skill.
Bulbous stock in every known commer-
cial variety is grown there, and their
roses, carnations, Easter lilies and mis-
cellaneous stock are looking exception-
ally fine.

Floral Co., gave a talk on the American

The increasing popularity
of the Clay Hanging Basket,
and its especial fitness for use

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

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 sattsned with the splendid
results obtained from the Paper Pots.
In fact. WE DID NOT HAVE HALF ENOUGH
TO FILL OUR ORDERS. WE OHABOBD
EXACTLY TWICE THE AMOUNT wo 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 growlnf
during the hot months. Wishing you success,

SAN DIEGO EXPOSITION
Dear Sirs: The Paper Pots purchased of yon
were for use in the Formal Gardens of the • • •
San Diego Exposition.
These pots proved a grand Innovation, wherein
I have been able to replace and rotate all kinds
of plants during the entire year.
After young plants, either from seed sown in
the Pots or picked from flats, were fairly well
established I plunged the pots where I wanted
the plants to remain, and they went on as if to
the manor bom.
The loss was simply nnobservable.
This covered Canterbury Bella, Asters, Llnarias,
Gaillardias, etc.
The Pots, being square, took up less room In the
flats, being light are easily transported to the
garden, the paper rotting gradually in the ground
the roots are never retarded or disturbed.
Congratulating you, I am very truly yours,
F. Edward Gray, San Diego, Cal.
"We used your Paper Pots for Tomatoes,
Geraniums and Ferns.

DIRT BANDS
CREASED DIBT BANDS
1 — Should a Dirt Band be CREASED and the
ENDS held together until It Is set in place? Yes.
OUR DIRT BANDS ARE CREASED, CUT AND
SCORED BY MACHINE TO THE EXACT SHAPE
and the ENDS HELD TOGETHER.
NOT "LOOKED"
2— Should the ends of Dirt Bands be
"LOCKED"? NO. Because "locking" does not
serve any purpose and Is a serious detriment.
If the ends are "LOCKED" the band has to be
TORN OFF when the plant Is taken out.
After the banda are filled and watered the soil
settles tight against the Insides and they cannot
be unlocked.
TEARING the ends of the bands apart wlU
break many of the "balls" or cubes of soil.
Get a "locked" band, lock It and try tearing
It apart.
Ours are made to SLIP APART easily, without
tearing, to let the plant out.
Our bands are made of the same special, tough
paper that has been PROVED 6 YBARS to be
perfect for the purpose.
They are the BEST Band on the market, but
also the CHEAPEST.
Mr. H. B. Weaver of Bird-in-Hand, Pa., grows
Carnations, Mignonettes, Sweet Peas and other
cut flowers. He says of onr Dirt Bands: "I
believe any one using these bands will become ■
regular customer"
(He got BOOO Dirt Bands in 1018, 60.000 la tn*.
70,000 In 1916, 60,000 in 1916 and has joat orderM
60,000 for 1917.)
Mr. J. M. Oager, Wlllimantlc, Ooan.. saya:
"The crop from the plants raised in your Dirt
Banda PAID MB THE BBST of any crop of
tomatoes grown 8IN0B I HAVB BBBN IN THH
BUSINESS."
(Mr. Gager has Just ordered 10,000 4-in. banda
for this year.)
Mr. Herbert W. Coulter, Avon, Mass.. aart:
"I am so well pleased with the Dirt Banda that
I DO NOT SEE HOW A MARKET QARDBNBB
CAN AFFORD TO GROW PLANTS WITHOUT
THBM."
"I have now about 14,000 Carnation planta

ST. LOUIS.
The Market.
There has been no shortage of stock
this week, s])rin}4-like weather l)riiigiug
the stock alonfj after a fashion to meet
any Lenten need. At the same time,
business has not been bud, for the retail
stores liave been takinji; lar{i;e (juantities
of flowers and moviufj; them steadily to
the public. Those who lia\ e }i;lass of
their own all have l)ulbous stock that
they are pushing in jireference to flow-
ers they must buy on the market.
The prospect for Easter is excellent.
Preparations are l)eing made on a large
scale aiul everyone is confident there
will be a big business. Stock sliould be
equal to all re(|uirements.
Various Notes.
J. J. Beneke has been laid up since
the flower show with a bad attack of
rheumatism.
It was an oversight that caused the
exhibit of the John C. Moninger Co.,
Chicago, to be omitted from the list of
trade exhibits at the show, printed last
week. Not only was the exhibit as
conspicuous as any at the show, but the
exhibitor paid $100 for the space and
had two men, including General Man
ager Kurowski, on the job from start
to finish.
Scranton, Pa.^Members of the Scran-
ton Florists ' Club at a recent meeting
decided not to hold the fourth annual
flower show of the club, which was
scheduled for March 14 to 17. Instead,
the exhibition will be held in tlie fall.
The postponement was made because
many of the out-of-town exhibitors
would be too busy with disjilays at the
New York, Philadelphia and Boston
shows. Members of the show committee
are: William MacDonald, chairman;
F. J. Moran, T. B. McClintock, Miss
A. Ij. Besancon, Miss G. Schultheis,
C. W. Baldwin and Anton Schultheis.

Greenhouse White Paint
It is an absolutely pure Linseed Oil Paint, having a covering capacity of 330 square
feet— two coats— to the gallon. It is made especially for your use. We can't
make it any better. The value of a pure white, light-reflecting surface, which
will diffuse and re-use every ray of light, cannot be overestimated. Greenhouse
White will stay white— therefore, it is the paint to use.
Remember
all ordinary paint will not do.
The conditions are extreme—
not to say remarkable— and it
takes a paint complying with
certain technical requirements
to give satisfaction. You will
find Greenhouse White to be the
paint.
The only paint that will
not blister or peel
P^A^INX
Greenhouse White
is made for us by paint experts,
by people who have made a life-
long study of painting problems;
and in buying a product which
bears their endorsement you can
depend upon securing a product
satisfactory in ail respects for
ihe purpose intended.

tinue to place our orders for this material whenever

NEWARK, N. J.
The Market.
The warm weather has increased the
receipts of cut flowers and plants, the
latter including hydrangeas, rhododen-
drons and bulbous stock. The increased
supplies have resulted in a recession of
prices on some items. Geraniums have
kmade their appearance, but apparently
they will not be plentiful. Boses, Easter
lilies and callas are good. Carnations
are abundant.
Various Notes.
A florists' business has been started
at 707 Broad street under the name of
Benson & Co. Those interested are Wil-
liam Benson, K. Catsephos and John
Dowrakos.
John Blakely, of Elizabeth, says busi-
ness has never been better than this
year. There seems to be more money
about, he says. Potted plants have ex-
perienced a large sale during the last
few months.
Charles Stamberg has opened a store
at 554 Orange street. He calls himself
the Eoseville Florist. R. B. M.
GERANIUM SOUi TOO RICH.
I am sending under separate cover
a sample of my Ricard geraniums. There
seems to be something wrong with
them, but I have not been able to de-
termine what it is. Other geraniums
in the same bed as yet are not affected
and S. A. Nutt and King Edward in a
bed right next to this are all right.
Can you tell me the cause of this
trouble? E. G. P.— O.
The plant was frozen when received.
It had the appearance of a healthy
plant, with good active roots, and
seemed to be unusually vigorous. Per-
haps you are growing your plants in
too rich soil. I would suggest that
you add some more sand to your soil,
to give it porosity; also a little fine
bone. Rather than use rotted manure,
use a 4-inch pot of fine bone to a bushel
of loam. This will promote a stocky,
sturdy growth and make the plants
more floriferoiis. C. W.
Springfield, III. — Ilembrciker & Cole
have made plans to enlarge their range
here this spring.
Ogden, Utah. — F. J. Hendershot has
noted tliat the bone refuse from the
local million-dollar packing house is
shipped east to be ground and then
shipped back to the florists here. He
thinks he will save a part of it the thou-
sand-mile journey by putting in a small
grinding plant.

The Florists^ Review
Makch 29, 1917.
LOUISVILLE, KY.
The Market.
Wliilc this section of our letter may
be growing monotonous to the readers,
it is with pleasure we write of the
continued good business being done by
the Louisville florists. Indeed, the trade
seems to be growing from day to day.
Last Sunday many of the houses re-
mained open all day to handle the
heavy volume of business. All classes
of floral work are in heavy demand.
Outside jonquils are appearing and
are meeting with ready sales, being
used as fast as brought in. Flowers are
moving steadily. The ever increasing
supply of roses and carnations is being
met with a like demand. Blooming
plants are arriving in numbers now and
are making a brave show in the shops.
At the greenhouses of all local grow-
ers the quality of the plants for the
great flower day is gratifying. The
stock has never looked better and the
great quantities should line the pockets
of the trade with an extra amount of
velvet.
Various Notes.
The John Bettmann Co. furnished
nearly all of the flowers for the victims
of the cyclone, the entire force work-
ing all night botli Saturday and Sunday.
The Jacob Schulz Co. staged a win-
dow last week which at times promised
to congest traffic. The sale of bird houses
was featured and many attractive de-
signs shown. The window was screened
and birds of many varieties, fluttering
among the foliage and bathing in the
pools, drew the attention of the passers-
by.
We must congratulate Louis Bryant
on the arrival of a boy. Mr. Bryant is
the popular representative of Anders
Kasmussen.
August Baumer has added a hand-
some new car to his delivery equipment.
It outshines any car in the flower trade
at present.
W. B. Franz has loft the employ of
F. Walker & Co. and we understand has
accepted the position of superintendent
on one of the large estates at Glenview,
Ky. G. G. W.
Glenwood Springs, Colo. — Mr. and

ABOUT THAT COMPOST PILE
Is the scarcity of Stable Manure delaying you in the build-
ing of your season's Compost Pile?
Do you know that one ton of Magic Composting Fertilizer,
guaranteed to analyze 2.75 to .3 per cent Ammonia, 3 per cent
Phosphoric Acid and 1 per cent Potash, will go as far as five
tons of ordinary Manure.
HERE ARE THE REASONS:
Magic Composting fertilizer Original Stable Manure
Plant Food 7 per cent . . ..... 1^ per cent
Humus 85 " 23it2
Undecomposed Matter.. 5 " 15
Moisture 3 " (»
In dry state 2 to 3.6 per cent.
Note carefully: If you use Magic Composting Fertilizer,
you will save four-fifths of the expense involved in the handling
and hauling of Stable Manure.
SAVES MONEY, LABOR, TIME
With the ever increasing difficulty of obtaining suitable Sta-
ble Manure for your Compost Pile, it will certainly pay you to
investigate the value of Magic Composting Fertilizer for this
purpose. Many of our largest growers have done so with large
saving of labor and resultant profit.

NEWS NOTES
•••
Lincoln, Neb. — ^Frederick Eiche is
erecting a greenhouse on South Twen-
tieth street. Mr. Eiche, by the way, is
a physician.
Medicine Hat, Alta., Can. — Alois
Wiedeman, formerly associated with
the Rosery Flower Co. here, but now
residing at Irvine, has decided to start
a florists' business in Prussia — that is,
Prussia, Sask. Although the town of
Prussia is nearer the north pole than is
Medicine Hat, Mr. Wiedeman will not
have to depend on Eskimos for his busi-
ness.
Dayton, O. — Perhaps some of the old-
timers have recollections of one James
Dallas Treadway, who many years ago
was one of the town's well known flo-
rists and nurserymen. Mr. Treadway
died the other day in a soldiers' home
in Tennessee, in his seventy-third year.
He was a veteran of the Civil war. Fu-
neral services were held at the home of
his daughter in this city.
Jeannette, Pa. — E. Bushyager, whose
specialties are "fresh eggs, fruits and
flowers," has had frequent trouble with
a rash on his face and a recent attack
has affected his eyelids, nose and
cheeks. His doctor tells him it is some
kind of local poisoning and he thinks
it comes from rubbing his face with his
hands after handling nicotine insecti-
cides.
Olivette, Mo. — Charles Steidle is
doing away with all his Killarneys, with
the exception of one-half a house of
white, as he thinks they are a dead let-
ter. Mr. Steidle will plant one house
each of Russell and Ophelia, planting
Shawycr for the rest, which he intends
to give a thorough try-out this year,
having grown a few to his entire satis-
faction this season. He says that he
was not at all troubled with mildew and
thinks that growing good, clean Shawycr
is merely a matter of proper ventilation.
Columbus, O. — "When Frank S. Miller,
aged ;")!, struck his brother-in-law,
George Thompson, aged 67, on the head
with a flower pot the other day, the
latter wielded a knife, inflicting wounds
on Miller's left arm and abdomen. He
was taken to Lawrence hospital. The
trouble occurred at the range of the
Columbus Floral Co. Miller is manager
of the concern, and Thompson secretary
and treasurer. Vive years ' business
transactions had led to various quarrels
that terminated in the wounding of Mil-
ler. His injuries were not serious.

RIDGE
A New One
It's Leak Tight
IT'S easy enough to say a ridge
•'• is tight.
It's easy enough to say that
the leak drips are condensation.
It's easy enough to finally de-
clare that no one can make an
absolutely leakless ridge when
ventilating sash are used on both
sides.
With a hard, beating, wind-
driven rain, we doubt if it's pos-
sible to shut out every drop. But
if any ridge is practically leak
tight, this one of ours is.
That angle-shaped groove
prevents the water from creeping
in. When it strikes that groove
HitcKitififs
NEW YORK OFFICE
1171 Braiiway
it drops on to the vent sash. If
every part of the sash could
be held as snug and tight as at
the binges, there would be no
leaks.
To overcome this, we mill the
main part of the ridge with a
special curve. The sash is also
curve milled.
When the curve of the sash
strikes the curve of the ridge, a
leverage is produced that sort of
pries tight shut every inch of the
sash's length. Everyone who has
it, says it is absolutely tight.
You know we go anywhere for
business. Or to talk business.

A PERFECT GUTTER
"LEAK-PROOF"
(Patent
Pe
nding
)
When planning the details of your new houses, the question what kind of gutters to use
will be of vital importance. Shall it be a metal gutter (you know they will sweat and drip in
cold weather, be burning hot in summer, will rust and cost an enormous price, especially this
year)? Or use the old wood gutter, with its probability of leaks which before annoyed you so
much? Let us submit you our estimate with our "LEAK-PROOF" gutter, made of the best
grade of Louisiana Red Cypress. This new style gutter eliminates the objectionable features of
other gutters and will give you PERFECT SATISFACTION.

CONTROL OF MUSHROOM PESTS.
Methods of controlling mushroom
pests, such as maggots, mites, spring-
tails, sowhugs, slugs and crickets, are
described in Farmers' Bulletin 789, is-
sued by the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture. Prevention of damage to culti-
vated mushrooms by insects and other
creatures, according to the author of
the bulletin, C. H. Popenoe, entomolog-
ical assistant in the Bureau of En-
tomology, begins with the eoustructiou
of the mushroom house, which should be
as tight as possible, with outlets capable
of being tightly closed. The windows
and ventilators should be screened with
fine wire gauze, as this forms an excel-
lent prevention against the entrance of
the small fungous gnats or flies and the
mites which they carry.
Mushroom spawn should be purchased
only from reliable dealers, as otherwise
insects may be introduced with the
spawn. As gnats may also be brought
into the house through the agency of
manure, special attention should be
given to fermenting the compost uni-
formly, to insure a heat which is suf-
ficient to destroy maggots and other
pests that may be present in the ma-
nure.
Where the soil is infested, the autlior
advises sterilizing the soil of the benches
by heating it to a temperature of 150 de-
grees, while fumigation with carbon
bisulphide just previous to spawning is
productive of good results in destroy-
ing maggots in the compost. Carbon
bisulphide vapor, however, is inflam-
mable and even explosive when mixed
with air and brought into contact witli
fire or sparks, or when heated to a suf-
ficiently high temperature, and great
care should be used in handling it. De-
struction of adults or flies in mushroom
houses can be effected by fumigation
with nicotine preparations or pyrethrum.
Sowbugs may be detected at niglit by
the aid of a lantern and killed, or hot
water may be poured along the cracks
in the boards and in other places where
the bugs may be concealed by day.
The bulletin also contains suggestions
for poisoned baits which are effective
.ngainst sowbugs and crickets, and reme-
dies for slugs.

Service
Metropolitan Greenhouse Service
the utmost in efficiency
and— results
Metropolitan Exhibit
at last year's show
No matter what the initial cost of a greenhouse
amounts to, it is in every instance a good investment,
provided the revenue results are proportionate, and the
cost of maintenance remains at a minimum. But no
matter how little the initial cost, it is far too much for
UQsatisfactory returns, with constantly increasing upkeep and repair expenses.
Therefore, as the quality of materials used in the construction of all greenhouses is,
after all, a matter of contract specifications, this organization bases its claims upon
the high character of its labor and its constant endeavor to render a service which is
at all times the utmost in efficietcy, economy and results.
The reliability of this organization has been conclusively proven by the fact that it
has not merely sustained, but heightened its prestige for so long a period.

for you
a solution of the high
cost of materials —
The AGMCO "Cantlek" wooden gutter is a new invention brought
out on account of the present high cost of steel and iron products.
It is unique among wooden gutters in that it embodies new prin-
ciples of gutter construction by locking the sills to the bottom
plate and filling the joint with a white lead-and-putty mixture.
The sill will always line up straight with the plate, as it must fit over the bevel on the plate. When the sill is put on,
it is hooked into the groove and forced against the bevel side of the plate. This draws the sill down tight and makes the
tongue tit snugly into the groove on top of the plate.
When the sills are in place and the groove is filled w^ith white lead-and-putty mixture, you have a water-tight, flat gutter.
The mixture won't run down and out, as in all other gutters, but will fill up the little trough on top of the plate. After
this sets, your gutter is like one piece.
This bevel and groove sounds the death knell of all other wooden gutters. It's the solution that
greenhouse-makers have been looking for these sixty years. You can't afford the old leaky, crooked,
water-soaked wooden gutter. Our "CANTLEK" pattern is the only pattern worth owning.
-J
All sash bars are joined to the gutter with our special "Triple Screw" bar brackets. These brackets prevent rot and
split ends. Can you afford tq spoil gutters and bars that cost you money by nailing them on in the old-fashioned way?
You alert, ^ost-saving experts— you keen business masters of the greenhouse world -you
will seize upon this with avidity! You will hail it as an opportunity! You will act with
the quicknUess of a man sure of his own knowledge. You will act at once.

It's a pretty good idea (now that the lumber mills in the South-
ern Cypress Mfrs.' Assn. are identifying every cypress board they saw) to
MENTION TO YOUR LUMBER DEALER, CONTRACTOR OR CARPENTER — and to ASK
YOUR ARCHITECT to SPECIFY— that YOUR CyPRESS MUST BE
"TIDEWATER" CYPRESS
IDENTIFIED BY
THIS TRADE-MARK
Stamped in the End of Every Piece
or APPLIED TO EVERY BUNDLE
Trade Mark Reg. U-S-Pat-Ofhce
RY THIS MARK YOU KNOW THAT IT'S CYPRESS, "THE WOOD ETERNAL," and WORTHY OF YOUR FAITH^
IT IS WELL TO INSIST ON SEEING THIS TRADE MARK ON EVERY BOARD OFFERED AS "CYPRESS."

How do they know?
—they have four of the best
reasons in the iiv^orld for
knowing. And these are?—
four of the finest steel frame
houses ever erected.' They
are 36x300 feet— each one
of them.
And, mind you, the whole plant
— four steel frame greeuhouses,
an up-to-the-minute brick ser-
vice building, a McKee heating
system and a 100-foot radial
chimney— everything is AGMCO.
Do you know what Daut Brothers did when they gave the contract
for their entire plant to the AGMCO? They sold themselves
succepsful crops.
Don't think for a minute that Daut Brothers have any monopoly
on this royal road to wealth. They haven't. It's an open road.
Where is it?
We'll furnish a road map and compass
for the asking, and — you'd better hur-
ry up before the walking's crovf'ded.

Gentlemen: The three large houses you put up
this year for us are now completed and planted with
roses and carnations, and we wish to compliment you
on your new style of steel construction.
We consider that the use of channel iron in the
construction of greenhouses is the best idea ever put
into use in greenhouse building, as it gives more
strength to the house for the amount of shade than
any other type we know of.
This last addition to our plant gives us now about
300,000 feet of glass, all of which is of your construc-
tion, and the new houses are so much superior to the
old that there is no comparison between them, although
the old houses are very fine houses.
Yjur new all-steel house is a marvel of strength,
lightness and beauty, and not nearly as expensive as
we thought it would be; and we would like to have the
privilege of recommending it to other growers who
want to build good greenhouses, and would be glad to
show our new houses to anyone as an example of fine
greenhouse construction.
We wish to thank you also for the prompt attention
you gave to the few kicks we made on questions of
immaterial importance, and hope to have the pleasure
of doiog more business with you. Respectfully yours,
(Signed) Miller Floral Co.,
