The Weekly Florists^ Review* 8)5 THE BEGONIAS: A Most Interesting Family. There is no more interesting class of plants, either for the amateur or pro- fessional florist, than this large genus. It embraces hundreds of species, besides thousands of varieties. Begonias are roughly divided into four sections as follows: Fibrous rooted or shrubby, old Fuchsioides being a good type of these; semi-tuberous, of which the now fa- mous Grioire de Lorraine is an example; the true tuberous-rooted, summer flower- ing, and the well known Eex section, which is grown almost solely as an or- namental foliage plant. The Tyriter can well remember, about 1857, a small plant of the Eex begonia being pur- chased in liondon with two leaves. The price was about $5 per leaf. We have since sold thousands at 10 cents a plant. The above division is quite rough, for there have been such innumerable crosses between the many species that it would be difficult to determine to which section many belong. Semperflorens is classed with the shrubby, but is very different from, sav. inearnata, for it flowers more precociously and freely as a summer bedding plant. The Foliage Section. The Eex species, containing hundreds of varieties, is little grown by commer- cial florists, although some years ago we used it largely in veranda boxes, where little snn reached thrm, and few j)lants that thrive in the shade made s\ - finer or more refined appearance. Pro- pagated by the leaf or section of the leaf in aarly fall, good plants in 4-in(''i or 5-ineh pots can be obtained by the following May It is, however,, in the ]irivate conservatory or hothouse where large plants show their value and beauty. We have also noticed in the window of many a cottage a fine thrifty plant of Bex begonia. ^ The Bedding Begonias. The tuberous-rooted begonias arc not used as generally as a bedding plant, as they deserve in our northern states. It may be true that in the hot summers of the middle and southern states they are a failure, but in the northern Atlan- tic states they make a glorious show. Careful and frequent watering of the bed is the great requisite. Grown in B-inch or 7-ineh pots, they make most beautiful flowering plants, but unfortu- nately they are in their glory at a sea- son (July, August and September) when the conservatory is little appreciated and they cannot be recommended as good window plants, for they soon drop their flowers. For bedding plants we start the one-year-old bulbs about April. "Winter-Flowering Section. The semi-tuberous section iff best known by the species Socotrana. These form a scaly bulb, but do not lose all their fibrous roots when resting, which is in summer, flowering in winter. So- cotrana is one of the parents of Gloire de Lorraine. Several experts have re- cently written on the ctiltivation of this splendid begonia. Although many have failed with it, its requirements are sim- ple when well understood. At the St. Louis convention Mr. Peterson read a pg,per on our popular flowering plants and his directions for growing Lorraine were most simple and explicit and from his success it may be concluded that his methods are up-to-date and correct. There was scarcely ever a plant which rose so quickly and universally into popular favor as Gloire de Lorraine and its waning is not likely to be soon. And who can foretell what wonderful vari- eties are yet in store for us, to be given us by the skillful and enthusiastic specialists? They will be sure to come, if some have not already arrived. The Semperflorens Type. The semperflorens type, which I called •A sub-section of the shrubby, are most useful plants for the flower garden. They are Amderfully free flowered. This class includes^ernon and Erfordii. The latter makes a most beautiful flower bed, even in the broad sun. There are noticed in a window. They are success- ful plants and thrive, or most of them do, in the dry atmosphere of a living room. They root at almost any season of the year, but the florist will flnd March and April a good time to root the cuttings, which are the ends of shoots not too soft. We never found bottom heat in the sand an essential in rpoting these shrubby begonias and they do not need to be kept more than just moist. 'In this section there is a most diversi- fied form of flower, foliage and habit. The greatest curse to the winter-flower- ing begonia is too much shade during summer. It is true they won't flourish under glass in the broiling sun, especial- ly if they are cramped for pot room, but on the other hand, too much shade and humidity is the chief cause of the rust which ruins such sorts as inear- nata. I recently recommended that this useful plant be plunged outdoors during the summer months and a private gar- dener showed me flne plants of it a few days ago and said he planted them out in the open ground in June and lifted them in September. A deep frame, where they could be plunged and shaded with cheese-cloth during the hottest hours, would be my ideal for many of the shrubby begonias during summer. Some Desirable Flowering Sorts. The few desirable varieties mentioned below have no pretense to be the latest or even the best, for the writer, like many another florist, haa grown but a Group of Begonia Semperflorens Gigantea Rosea. many other varieties of this type, use- ful for garden and greenhouse. They root readily from cuttings, but for bed- ding purposes sow the seed in December and transplant as they need the room. Good Subjects for Dwellings. The section that the commercial flo- rist most neglects is the shrubby or win- ter-flowering varieties. Too many of them you don't want but they sell read- ily in late fall and winter as good-sized single plants, and they are undoubtedly good plants for the dwelling house. Many a fine plant of manicata we have few kinds of late. I found growing re- cently at the greenhouses of Mr. George Urban, of Pine Ridge, near Buffalo, the followmg and in most attractive state: Inearnata Sandersii, a great improve- ment on inearnata grandiflora, large panicles and stout growth, abundant flowers of a coral pink; Haageana, very large, rosy pink flowers, handsome fol- iage; Nightingale, large pink panicles, green foliage; Thurstoni, handsome fol- iage, rich pi;rple red beneath, flowers not conspicuous; Mme. de Lesseps, strong grower with large clusters of white flowers; metallica, most distinct and at- .«>TO?iP7^'^«up''"5. •'«^^''l:*vrr^*.'' .:.^.frr\^[ 8)6 The Weekly Florists' RcviCTwC Makch 2, 1905. riu'tive foliage from their dark metallic .sliading, flowers blush white; manieata aureo-inaculata, mostly grown for its striking foliage; semperllorens gigantea roseti, green foliage with large deep pink flowers; argenteo-guttata, shining green foliage, flowers pinkish white. Then there was old Sandersoni x Fuch- sioides, which we used" so much for cut- ting twenty-five years ago. Several fine flowering varieties had no name, as they ^^•ere grown from seed imported from France. For a long continued season of flowering and beautiful in both flower and foliage the shrubby begonias have few equals, especially for the decoration of the amateur's conservatory. William Scott. WINTER-FLOWERING BEGONIAS. ■With the original of the semperflorena class as the oldest in my memory and the brilliant acquisition of yesterday, the widely grown Gloire de Lorraine, begin and end the long list of winter-flower- ing begonias which have come under my one was a world conqueror. And yet I do not hesitate to say that we have quite a number among shrubby begonias which merit more general cultivation by florists, especially as they are of easy culture and therefore well adapted to thrive under the care of the amateur grower and cheer up the homes of people in moderate circumstances. To commence with the seinperflorens class, of which we have the gigantea, or tall growing, and the dwarfish gracilis, or Vernon types, the first is best known in our country. Begonia semperflorens gigantea rosea, as the botanical name reads, has a tall fleshy trunk with a natural habit of branching out. Its flow- ers are borne on strong, erect or grace- fully bending axillary stem^s, extending over the smooth glossy green foliage. They are in evidence practically all the year around but are most abundant dur- ing the winter months. The carmine and deep rose hues of the cymes throughout the season materially add to the bright- ness of greenhouse and window. As for B. semperflorens Vernon, B. Begonia Manieata. care. The former variety, of strong growth, dark green, glossy foliage and a never failing willingness to produce its modest white or pinkish flowers was the favorite of housewives half a century ago, while the latter, when in good form, literally covered with its wealth of pink bioom, is at present the pride of the skillful florist and gardener. Of the many varieties which, during the last fifty years, have been introduced, few have aroused general interest, fewer still are holding their own permanently in our list of greenhouse plants and only gracilis and their offspring of dwarfish strain we have seen little so far. We know they are favorite bedders in Eu- rope, where for this purpose they are grown from seed sown under glass in early spring. Their floral effectiveness within the formal line of design is sur- prising, but whether they prove equally free flowering in our summer climate is a question I am not fully prepared to answer. Among the shrubby winter-blooming varieties I mention as good, B. suaveo- lens, a tall species, with dark green foli- age and pure white cymes, appearing from December up to May. Larger in size is the individual flower of B. nitida, a robust but lower growing variety. Its waxy petals are of a very delicate and glossy pink. B. incarnata, a species from Mexico, is known as one of the most prolific to flower. The color of its countless nodding peduncles is a soft rose, which gains in vividness as the days pass. Of drooping habit are the axillary coral-red male flowers of the tall growing B. rubra. Here the female flowers, as a striking feature, form tas- sels of a wonderfully rich hue. Two- year-old specimens of this plant some- times throw up erect shoots from five to six feet in height. I therefore recom- mend the planting of from three to four rooted cuttings together in a 6-inch pot in May. The ' result will be a shapely specimen by November. With me B. President Carnot has always been rather tardy in flowering; neFerthe]e.=s its hand- some foliage, which assumes a bright reddish color when exposed to the full sun, makes it worth having. Likewise would the old B. Sandersoni, of low bushy growth and very rarely without its pro- fusion of little red blossoms, be the last to part with. Begonia metallica com- bines ornamental foliage with a strik- ingly admirable floral display. Its growth is erect and tall. Its hirsute leaves are of a peculiar purplish bronze color, with metallic lustre, contrasting well with the pink hue of its axillary cymes. There are quite a number of short- growing varieties with thick, fleshy trunks and more or less ornamental foli- age which are classed as winter-flower- ing. They include Begonia Verschaffel- ti, B. ricinifolia, B. heracieiiolia, B. Reichenheimi and B. manieata. Of the last mentioned we have a sport with variegated leaves, named B. manieata aureo-maculata. Best known, however, is the original form, distinguished by its wealth of pink blossoms borne on strong, erect stems above the handsome leaves. Begonia Feastii is named after the late Samuel Feast, of Baltimore, with whom it originated. The dark purple of its glossy foliage is most agreeably matched with the delicate rose color of its erect cymes. Another distinct Ameri- can representative in this class is B. Gilsoni. So far as my knowledge goes it is the only double flowered shrubby variety in existence. Attractive speci- mens are best obtained by planting a number of rooted cuttings into a deep seed pan, where they have ample space to develop their foliage in all directions. Bushy plants never fail to be admired when, in February and March, their pale pink cymes begin to show above the leaves. We fill our hanging baskets with varie- gated periwinkles or ivy geraniums. There was a time when Saxifraga sar- mentosa and the running tradescantias were in vogue. Of late we have occa- sionally availed ourselves of Begonia Gloire de Lorraine, but we usually for- get entirely that we have among winter- flowering begonias genuine creepers which are just the thing for our pur- pose. There is hardly a rambling plant that excels in attractive beauty a well grown Begonia glaucophylla scandens. Long suspending vines, are thickly set with oval, at their ends pointed, leaves, and during February and March enliv- ened by masses of bright red clusters of blossoms. In fact, I doubt if there is a iikRcn 2, 1905. The Weekly Fl^sts^ Review^ 817 ^ '^i-.>**"t*^j. '■"■ ^ .

If they are allowed to remain too long in the sand and begin to make wood this has a very bad effect, as the sand contains no nutritive properties to support such growth and the young stock receives a check from which it never truly recov- ers.

Ribes. genuine creeper which proves a more showy basket plant than this begonia. It is said that begonias are not suit- able for house plants because they drop their flowers in a few days. May J ask what plant does not do the same thing in a, let us say, comfortably heated room, with the usual dry atmosphere I I have kept a number of Begonia mani- cata for two weeks in a window box un- der just such conditions and they came out none the worse and continued flow- ering for two months afterward. I have had similar experiences with B'. Gilsoni and B. glaucophylla scandens. Propagating of begonias is done by cuttings in spring. With the exception of Gloire de Lorraine all the species mentioned in this article, when inserted in moist sand or light sandy soil, will, at a temperature from 60 to 65 degrees, strike roots within two or three weeks' time. Potted up they thrive best in light, rich garden soil with the addition of one-third Jersey peat. During sum- mer they may be kept outdoors but should be somewhat protected from the hot sun. In winter they want all the light they can get and a night tempera- ture from 50 to 60 degrees. The illustrations accompanying these notes are from photographs of plants grown and flowered by the writer. ElCHARD EOTHE. and more work, and this can easily be avoided by doing the work now. With late batches of cuttings, partic- ularly such varieties as Beauties and Kaiserin, there is always more or less trouble in retaining the foliage while root formation is in progress. Partic- ular care should be taken to have the sand well firmed and the cutting care- fully shaded, so that there may be no wilting, as this is certain to cause them to drop their leaves. Keeping the foli- age too wet is also another fruitful source of trouble and should be care- fully guarded against. Just as soon as the cuttings have roots GRAFTING ROSES. The call for back numbers of the Beview containing Mr. Montgomery's very able article on "The History and Culture of Grafted Eoses, ' ' has been so great that we are reprinting it in pam- phlet form, thirty-two pages and cover, fully illustrated and nicely printed, so that those who wish may have it in the most readily accessible form. Copies of the pamphlet will be sent postpaid to any address if 25 cents accompanies the request. AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY. Complete schedules for the approach- ing rose exhibition at Horticultural Hall, Boston, have been mailed to all members of the American Eose Society, and inclosed with each schedule an entry card.

Those who have not already finished their propagating should lose no time in putting in all the cuttings they will require, for the present favorable condi- tions will disappear as soon as the spring commences. To enable us to secure good-sized plants for benching in June the work of propagating should be practically over by the middle of March, as after that time conditions for securing a uni- form root formation are not so easily created as now and there is less chance for success,' even for young stock fresh from the sand. To secure success after that time entails greater care, attention Begonia Nitida.

The sun, so welcome and inspiring to man and daisy alike, now rises higher and higher each succeeding day and its rays are getting powerful. Many days in March the temperature outside will be too sharp to admit of liberal ven- tilation, but the sun will raise the heat under glass much higher than we desire and shading some things will become a necessity. Under poor glass, and all our greenhouse glass is more or less poor, unless it be plate, the young growth of plants will burn and should be protected in some way. It is, of course, many weeks too soon to put on any permanent shade and the very great majority of our soft-wooded plants will just delight in the bright sun. Palms, it seems, will burn more easily in March than they do two months later. Palms, particularly latanias and ken- tias, will endure the full blaze of the sun outdoors during the summer with- out harm, but may quickly be disfigured during March or April. We believe the prevalent idea that leaves burn readily when drops of water are left on them from syringing is a complete fallacy. Water would be more a protection than a means of injury. Dryness at .the root, which means dry- ness of the^-whole tissue of the plant, is the cause of almost all the burning and bleaching of our plants of any kind, either under glass or outside. One more point. Our plants have been growing all winter under conditions which make them soft. Dark days, with little ventilation, is more the rule than the exception since the middle of December and our plants are in a very different condition from the same plants in October, after a summer of sunshine and fresh, free air. Cheese-aoth Best. Tack up to the roof, or better still, roll up on a small light rod, some cheese-cloth that can be spread over your batch of young palms. Carnation grow- ers by this time use cheese-cloth to shade their colored varieties, particu- larly Lawson, which bleaches badly under the bright sun. This material subdues the sun 's rays but does not darken a house and the higher it is above the plants, so much the better. In case of colored carnations the cheese-cloth tacked permanently to- the sash-bars is good enough. It will do no harm until August. Excuse me for "butting in," but I cannot but admire William Weber's re- marks against newspapers for shading propagating beds. I have for years be- lieved that was the most hideous and fungus breeding method you could de- vise. On February 17 I saw a house about 18x80 running north and south. From end to end it was filled with carnation cuttings in all stages of ad- vancement, how many thousand cuttings I don't know. There was no newspa- paper in sight, but four or five feet above the cuttings was cheese-cloth ready to unroll if necessary. You will term me " Mr. Ananias Windy ' ' doubt- less, but at the risk of that vile name I beg to say that of these 40,000 or 50,000 cuttings and at least twenty varieties, I could not discover one un- healthy cutting. John H. Dunlop may well be proud of his propagating house, for he has the process reduced to an exact science. The Propagatins Season. There will be with the general flor- ist a great amount of propagating from now on to the end of April and 1 still on during summer with begonias, ' chrysanthemums, poinsettias and others. I never was a believer in a north-side propagating house during the darkest winter months, but from now on their good points are evident, chief of which is low temperature. In the absence of such a bouse a north and south house does very well. Ideal propagating con- ditions, the sand a few degrees higher than the temperature of the atmos- phere, can be controlled about right during December, January and Febru- ary, but from now on they cannot. >The reverse will be the case. The tem- perature of the house will be higher and, with less need of firing, the sand will be cooler. To compensate for the evaporation, which will occur in warmer weather, we must shade and keep the cutting bed saturated. This treatment will root all our soft-wooded plants and the tender growths of many that can be classed as woody. The great ob- ject is to keep dpwn the temperature. Cutting Bench Fungus. It is many years since we liave been Begonia Glaucophylla Scandens. .7"--;^r~v-. ;v; - ■ ^ J- ■• . ;. ' ■.■ ■ .-^ Mabch 2, lOOB. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 8j9 Begonia Rubra. troubled with the fungus of the car- natjion cutting • bed, because we have leatned to root them in a cool house, bull in the beds where we root coleus aBi4 other bedding plants we have met many losses just because the house was warm and close. The spores of this minute fungus may not be ever-pres- ent, but I think the chances are it is like the spores of the common mildew and when conditions are favorable it puts in an ' appearance. It is so mi- nute that looking down on the sand you cannot discern it, but stoop down and glance over the surface of the bed and you can see a greenish appearance on the! sand. You may remove the sand an4 renew it after scrubbing the edge boards, but this is only a temporary relief. In a few day^ the fungus is again creeping ovef the surface of the new bed, and it will be there just as long as the warm close atmosphere is kept up. In my opinion, and on good evidence, the fungus is confined entire- ly to the surface of the sand. It just rots or rvjptures the tissue of the cut- tings at the surface. '"^here we could not find a cooler bench, or perhaps the fungus made its appearance when the bed was full of cuttings,"* we have held this fungus in ch^ck by the use of a copper solution. I don 't know wherrf. we picked up this formula, but I do Imow it answers the purpose and with cuttings that root quickly you can keep the fungus down long enough. Dissolve one pound of sulphide of copper in two quarts of liquid ammonia and when dissolved put in an earthenware jar and cork. One quarter pint of this in twenty-five gal- lons of water will hurt no cuttings if watered in the sand, but- if for water- ing the sand between cropB of cuttings, or just before you put in a crop, then one-half pint in twenty-five gallons will not be top strong. This will keep the fungus away at least two or Tljree weeks. In these remarks about the cutting bed none of it is meant to, allude to the carnation for, with a cool house, shade from direct sun and ventilation whenever called for, there is nt) excuse for fungus on them and their propaga- tion is largely over before the fungus should be troublesome. > ^<-' Shade for the Cuttia£fs. It is only specialists who use a whole house for propagation. The great army of florists simply use a. side bench in one of their plant houses. Now if it is the south bench of a house running east and west you can tack up cheese- cloth from the plate to four or five feet up the glass. This will effectual- ly shade every cutting. If the bed ia on the north side of the house, then use a curtain dropping from the roof to the edge of the path. This will shade all the cuttings and is very easily fold- ed up on dull days. As the sun gets higher and stronger add the cheese-cloth to the roof over the beds. If the house runs north and south, the same arrange- ment of cloth can be used, tacked up to" the roof and the curtains dropping. Many of our soft-wooded plants root so quickly that there is little time for any drawing up, yet, broadly, it is well known that the more daylight with- out direct sun that the cuttings re- ceive, the stronger and more vigorous they will be. Forty years ago the com- monest cuttings, such as verbenas, were protected from evaporation and wilting by bell glasses. Water was given spar- ingly, because it would have bathed the plants in excessive moisture. Now- adays we prevent wilting by keeping the sand saturated and the atmosphere as cool as we can. We used to fail on chrysanthemums in June and July and thought a hotbed was necessary. The failure was nothing but too little water on the cuttings. Faithful attention to shading, water- ing and ventilation is a far greater fac- tor toward success than any ideal houses or quality of sand. For the coming months the propagating bench or house needs brains and attention. William Scott. St. Paul, Minn. — In a runaway Feb- ruary 23 E. F.

The sun is gaining a good deal of strength and on very bright day8 your carnation houses will need a good deal of attention. To keep the temperature down you will be obliged to open the ventilators rather wide and this in re- turn will cause more or less draught in the houses. Have just as little of this as possible, as it will cause the plants to llag, which is not good for them. During such days the plants should not be dry at the roots, but do not soak them to keep them from wilting; at the root is not where the water is need- ed to stop wilting. Spray them lightly overhead and wet down the walks to moisten the atmosphere. Do this before noon, so the plants can dry off before night. In opening the ventilators don't let the temperature run awity up before you raise them, but start early and put on just a crack of air and every hour in the day raise or lower the ventilators as may be needed. The same way in the evening, don't close them down when the thermometer stands at 65 de- grees, but let it go down to 55 degrees by five o'clock and have your steam ready to turn into the houses when they reach the proper temperature. Your cuttings in the propagating bench will also need extra care. Shade them closely and when the ventilators are raised make sure no draughts of air can strike them. A badly wilted car- nation cutting might as well be thrown out and a strong draught of air will wilt them as much as the sun will. Like the plants, they will need an extra spraying or two. and the walks and boards should be dampened to keep the atmosphere moist. In my notes on varieties shown at Chicago January 25 and 26 I mentioned the ill luck J. E. Haines had with his fine scarlet carnation. I was very sorry to see it, as I know he has a fine va- riety. Last Friday I received from him a box containing a dozen fine blooms the smallest of which was over three inches. They carried well and today (Sunday) they are as fine a dozen car- nations as one could well imagine. One would hardly suppose they had been shipped about 700 miles. The color, form, calyx and stem' are all good and I predict that if this variety is at all prolific it will be widely grown. 1 want to congratulate Mr. Haines on his good fortune in possessing such a grand variety. A. F. J. Baur. BUFFALO CARNATION SHOW. Our exhibition of carnations on Feb- .ruary 22 was a most gratifying success, and we appreciate sincerely the trouble and expense that those firms went to in sending us samples of their choice products. We are well aware that these £rms have been kept busy sending flow- ers to the many club shows. Most surely the larger cities have had larger exhibits, but for our town we are quite proud of the result. A most cordial vote of thanks was "resoluted" to all those contributing an exhibit, and they will be thanked individually. We were blessed with mild weather and no rail- road blockade interfered with arrivals except in ope instance, which was great- ly regretted, viz., a very fine lot of White Lawson and Lady Bountiful ar- rived after the meeting had dispersed, but many saw them, and they were fine. With only one exception the entire lot of flowers arrived in most perfect con- dition. The attendance was good. Coun- try members were in stronj? evidence, and they are the backbone of our club. Henry J. Wise, of East Aurora; Charles T. Guenther, of Hamburg, and W. S. were chosen a committee to score the varieties coming out this spring, and some that will make their debut in 1906. A business meeting of the dub was held, at which the nomination of offi- cers to be elected in March was the im- portant item. Louis Ludwig Neubeck was nominated for president; for vice- president, C. T. Guenther; for record- ing secretary, Daniel B. Long and W. J. Peake; for financial secretary, Emile Brucker, and for treasurer, the veteran Charles H. Keitsch. A. J. Guttman, of Guttman & Weber, came all the way from New York city with his scarlet. Victory, and gave us a little talk, and so did Mr. Beerhorst, of Sassenheim, Holland. Mr. Beerhorst is no novice at talking before a little crowd, and said, although he admired greatly the beau- tiful and fragrant carnation, he hoped there would be always a place left for the handsome tulip. George Urban was present and had to introduce his usual jokes, which strike the auditory nerves with more propriety than they would in cold type. The vase of thirty-five blooms containing thirty-five varieties, shown bj- Mr. Urban 's gardener, Theo- dore Venenan, was most interesting, as it embraced the latest varieties as well ' as some of those grown thirty years ago, and was an excellent illustration of the evolution of the divine flower. It was the pickaninnv and Hottentot, or something lower, of Africa, side by side with Chauncey M. Depew or Mr. Urban himself.

Palmer & Son; Enchantress, Flam- ingo and Harlowarden, by the William Scott Co.; "^hite Lawson and Enchant- ress, from F. R. Pierson Co. This vase of White Lawson was grand, and would about convince you that it was all the white you needed. Fred B. Lewis, of Lockport, sent vases of Red Lawson and Enchantress. Mr. Witterstaetter sent a few flowers of several beautiful varie- ties, besides a grand vase of Aristocrat, and it is an aristocrat among carnations, from almost every point of view. There was seedling 1021 B, a finely formed, pleasing shade of the Scott pink, and a very large, well shaped scarlet with- out name or number. H. Weber & Sons sent My Maryland, which to us ap- peared a grand white in size, form and stem, but showed the effects of such a long journey and the judges thought it unfair to score it. The writer has been through this scoring business a good many times and, while we can see no other way to convey the apparent quali- ties of the exhibits before the judges, yet how far short it comes of giving all the desirable qualities of the new va- rieties! The judges are not supposed to take into consideration what they know personally of the habit or free flowering qualities of the variety, whether it has suffered on the journey, whether it is just unpacked or has had a few hours in a. cool room to straighten out, whether the grower had a thou- sand blooms to select fifty from, or fifty was about all he could pick. When it comes to awarding a premium for the best fifty white or scarlet, then it is quite difi"erent. It is partly to variety, but mostly to high culture that the premium rightly goes, and much could be said on this point. Yet, as there is nothing better in sigrht, this fallacious plan of scoring is the best we can do, and here is the result of our humble efi'orts : Exhibitor. Variety. Points.

Rawson. read b<'fore the Boston Gardeners' and Florists' Club, February 21, 1905.] Increase in Glass. In looking back over a period of twen- ty-five years we can see many changes that have taken place, not only in busi- ness, but in the growing of crops and the quantity grown; also in the manner of selling them. The idea has been and is growing more so, of concentration; that is, growing more and larger crops on smaller area. In order to do so the I'se of greenhouses has become more and more extended and today no one in the vicinity of large markets can afford to be without a number of houses. There are today fully twenty times as many as there were twenty-five years ago; then I had three, today thirty-six. Not only has the number increased, but also the knowledge of the management of them has become more universal. Number of Oops. In most houses today three crops are grown and in some cases four; the first is lettuce, the second either lettuce or radishes and the third cucumbers. When four are grown, three are lettuce and the fourth cucumbers, but the crop is some- what later than when only two crops of lettuce are grown before the cucumbers; that is, the first crop of lettuce is pulled for market about November 1, the sec- ond about the middle of January, then the crop of cucumbers is set out and they will begin to bear about March 1. Where three crops of lettuce are grown, the first cucumbers will not be picked before April 10. When there are but few houses, two crops of lettuce is the better plan, but if there are a number of houses both ways are adopted. The consumption of these two vege- tables has increased many fold within the past twenty-five years and the quality has also improved. So it has with many of our popular flowers. It is very diflS- cult to grow good headed lettuce in the months of December and January be- cause the weather is very cold and stormy and the nights are long and dark; We try to off-set some of this by the use of electric light, but it is not quite equal to the sun. The crop will grow as much in one day in March as two days in December and January. The crops of lettuce and cucumbers are very unhke; one requires a low tem- perature, the other a high temperature, and for that reason very few houses are run to cucumbers in the months of De- cember and January. It would require irX-. r- .»;«•.•''« -. -► - ^r;"--. 822 ^ The Weekly Florists^ Review* March 2, 1905. . double glass to do so because a much more steady heat could be maintained. The difference between lettuce and cu- cumbers is much like that between car- nations and roses, only the cucumber is much more tender and more difficult to grow. i I Construction of Houses. The construction of greenhouses has improved very much; that is, they are built much more substantially now than formerly and those of recent construc- tion will last much longer. They are now built with cement foundation and some with iron frames, where formerly they were set on wooden posts and were not as durable. The houses I built twenty-five years ago lasted about twen- ty years and have been replaced with houses of modern construction. Most houses today are heated by steam ■where twenty-five years ago they used hot water. The cost of hot water heat- ing is much more than steam and not so easy to control, especially with a large plant. It takes more pipes and larger ones and a larger boiler for water than for steam to produce the same amount of heat. I do not think there is much diflference in the cost of fuel. Soft coal is mostly used for steam heat while many use hard coal for hot water and the cost is fully one-third more for hard coal than for soft. The crops grown in houses today in- clude many and they are constantly in- creasing. They are lettuce, cucumbers, radishes, parsley, beets, spinach, rhu- barb, asparagus, tomatoes, beans, melons and mushrooms. The time has come when; all delicate crops must be grown insid^. The climate has so much changed the past twenty-five years that delicate crops eannot be grown as well now as formerly and they can be grown to greater perfection under glass, where every element is under the control of the grower, and if he is familiar with the crop and all its requirements, there is no reason why a_ perfect crop cannot be pro- duced. But in the field the grower has not the control and at times it is en- tirely out of his hands, so that it is much surer to grow crops in the houses than in the field. Some time ago the houses were very low near the ground, but at the present time they are built much higher, finding that it costs no more to heat a high house than a low one. The Best House. I like a house four feet high in front, six feet at t^e back and eighteen feet in the center, fifty feet wide, and my houses of these dimensions grow the best crops. They get more light and better circulation of air. The requirements to grow a perfect crop are air, light, heat, moisture and the necessary fertilizers that the crop requires and if the grower understands the crop he can grow a per- fect one under glass with all the neces- sary mat"rials. The soil acts as the ma- chine and the materials to be used put into the soil, or machine, properly man- aged will produce a crop the same as putting into any machinery the proper materials to produce any mannfactured product; the better the materials used the better the product. Sterilizing Soil. It is well known that nearly every plant has some injurious insect that seems to delight in devouring the plants and therefore some means must be re- sorted to to destroy them. We are obliged to fumigate in various ways and also to spray with different materials, most of which are very effective, i think sterilization of the soil eradicates them as thoroughly as any one thing. They cannot live in a temperature of 212 degrees and all germs and insects are completely removed from the soil and they do not appear until new ones are formed. This method of sterilizing the soil renews it so that it is like virgin soil and will produce much better crops than before the process was applied. It is done to a large extent and the result has been wonderful in most eases. After the soil has grown three or four crops the process is repeated. It not only de- stroys all insects but all weed seeds and none will grow for some timfe after the soil is sterilized. It works as well with potted plants as otherwise. I will now say a few words about the various crops grown in greenhouses. Parsky. Parsley is quite hardy and will grow under almost any conditions. It does not do as well in a high temperature. But answers for places in the house where other plants will not grow. It is sown in the spring in the field and grown all season, until a large root is obtained, and then taken up in Septem- ber and set into the houses where it is to grow. A continuous crop, or picking, can be kept up all winter and can be taken out any time in spring to make room for more desirable crops. Lettuce. Lettuce is one of the largest and best crops grown in greenhouses and requires a low temperature to be grown success- fully, about 40 degrees by night and from 60 to 70 degrees by day. It re- quires much light and grows better and more quickly in spring than in the long nights and short days of winter. It will grow to more perfection with light than without. It has been proven that the use of electric arc lights has- tened the growth fifteen per cent and when the crop grown in the months of December and January would bring a good price, it was a paying investment,' but the past winter has been an excep- tion, prices ruling very low on account of the large quantities grown in the south, where it can remain in the field all winter and is sent to our markets in heated cars, keeping the market supplied at very low prices and our crop grown in houses being of inferior size and not well headed, will not pay for growing. No one can grow lettuce in houses and sell it for 25 cents per dozen and get the cost of growing, but if it will bring 50 cents it will pay expenses. Cucumbers. The cucumber is a vegetable that is very extensively grown and is one of the most difficult to grow and requires more care and attention than any other. The temperature should be kept very high, at least 60 degrees by night and nearly 100 degrees by day, that is, if produced by the sun. In order to keep the crop to this temperature it requires very much attention. The increased pro- duction in the past twenty-five years is very great, perhaps more so than with any other vegetable grown, especially under glass. There are large quantities produced in the south and shipped north, which helps to keep down the prices at certain seasons. The seed is sown and in three or four days the plants are up and fit to trans- plant. This should be done in very warm soil and after about ten days they are again transplanted into pots or hills, so that they can be removed, when they have attained the proper size, to where they are to grow. They are set about three and a half feet apart in rows, al- lowing eight feet for each row. After they begin to run they are trained up on wires running lengthwise of the house on trellises arranged for the purpose. After they begin to blossom we expect to pick in two weeks and continue picking every two days. The picking continues for some months, according to the life of the vine, which varies very much ; that is, some will last three months and some as long as five. I have known instances where they continued bearing for a year. The blossoms should be fertilized by bees or by using a brush, but bees are the best and surest. The profit in grow- ing cucumbers is not always when they bring the largest price, because that is always at a time of year when the pro- duction is very small, or in the month of February these vines have been grow- ing all winter and therefore do not at first produce but a very few, so the price must necessarily be high, but when the vines get stronger and bear heavily the price is lower, but they produce, so much more that the total is very much larger. I have known vines to produce in a season over 100 good cucumbers. Beets. Beets have for the past few years been grown quite extensively under glass. They will grow in high or low tempera- ture. They are mostly transplanted and set about six inches apart. They require considerable water when maturing. They are sold by the bunch, four beets in a bunch. Ine Egyptian variety is mostly used, being a quick grower and quite small top. Rhubarb. Rhubarb is forced by taking up the roots in the field in the fall, letting them freeze for a month or two, then placing them in the house where they are to grow, or putting them in the house in the fall and freezing the roots there. They can be forced by running a high temperature and pulled when they attain a proper height. Large quantities can be taken from a small space. The roots should be at least two years old, so that they will be of good size. The roots are of no use after forcing. , Asparagus. Asparagus can be forced by digging the roots in the fall, the same as rhu- barb, and forcing the same way,, and continuous cutting can be kept up. This is usually done when an old bed is dug up. The roots should be large to obtain the best results. Tomatoes. Tomatoes are now grown quite exten- sively under glass, because the climate is such out-of-doors that, being of a tropical nature and growing best under high temperature, the season is not long enough to grow some of our best varie- ties and being a crop that likes an even temperature, they sometimes blight bad- ly out-of-doors and some of the most delicate grow best and produce much more in houses. Radishes. Badishes can be grown at all seasons ■■^■■'•.' . 'f. ; .■»; ; • :;^-.f '■;*■,' '■■'■'■ March 2, 1905. The Weekly Florists' Review. 823 House of Gu'nation Chester Roper, Grown by Albert Roper, Tewksbory, Mass. and at different temperatures; that is, they will allow to be frozen and certain kinds will grow at a high temperature; these we call the forcing varieties. Not long ago the long radish was the most extensively grown, but at present the globe or conical is mostly used. They can be grown quite close and by so doing they will last a long time and make a continuous crop. They are grown very extensively out-of-doors, in hot beds and in various ways. They can be trans- planted to fill up all the spare space in a house of lettuce or cucumbers. They sell at quite low prices and sometimes the market gets bare and a good price is obtained by those who have them in the market at that time. The average price is 2 cents per bunch. For an out- door crop this will do very well, but in- side it is not very remunerative. The foreign population use large quantities of them and they are also used in hotels, at banquets to help adorn the table if they are properly prepared. Beans. I have seen beans grow with great success in greenhouses and very produc- tive, and before they were grown so ex- tensively in the south they brought as high as $10 per bushel. They would come to quite a good sum if that price •could be obtained now. They are sown in rows about two feet apart and when grown will entirely cover the ground and produce a large amount from a small area. Spinach. Spinach is sown in houses, the same as in the field, and cut when needed at al- most any size.,. I have known it to do well and be quite profitable. Melons. Melons have been grown in green- houses but not to any great extent. I have seen good crops, but they are not a very reliable one. Mttthrooms. Mushrooms may not be called a green- house crop, but they are sometimes grown onder benches, or on the backsides of houses in beds prepared for the purpose, but a cellar that can be kept at an even temperature is preferable. It is quite an uncertain crop and depends upon care and management. It has become necessary for those who grow vegetables or flowers and plants in greenhouses to confine themselves to a few varieties and study these and perfect them as far as possrible. Great improve- ments have been made in that direction and there is room for more. PRONOUNCING DICTIONARY.

He had been ill only two days, with peritonitis. Mr. Macrae entered the florists' business in 1880, when the industry was in its infancy. In fact, he built up the first successful wholesale cut flower growing establish- ment in this part of New England. Mr. Macrae was born in Scotland, in 1843. He served his time in Conon Gardens, on the estate of Sir Kenneth McKenzie and afterward following his trade on several prominent places in England and Scotland before coming to this country. He arrived at Providence July 4, 1870. The flrst nine or ten years of his career here were spent as ex- pert grape grower on Willard Whit- comb's place, now owned by Warren Fales. Here he developed the industry of grape growing under glass, and the products of the Whitcomb place be- came famous in the New York market. ■.,;7'5r7.: 824 The Weekly Florists' Review* March 2, 1905. ; "■»■ . About the year 1880 Mr. Macrae em- barked in the \Yholesale florists' busi- ness, locating on the old G. W. Chapin place at Fruit Hill, making a success of it from the start. In a few years he purchased a piece of land on Smith street. Here he built a model green- house plant for those times, growing successfully for the wholesale market of Providence and vicinity. The busi- ness succeeded to such an extent that he soon outgrew his plant, and, dis- posing of the same to his brother, John A. Macrae, he purchased a tract of twenty acres in the vicinity, where he established the plant which he conduct- ed up to the time of his death. It com- prised about 75,000 feet, growing roses, carnations, violets and chrysanthemums, all of high quality, especially the mums. Mr. Macrae was for some years an active participant in the affairs of the S. A. F., being vice-president the year of the Providence meeting, 1897, but he was not a member in 1904. He was a worker for the Rhode Island Gafdeners' and Florists' Club and for the Rhode Island Horticultural Society, at the ex- hibitions of which he was a frequent premium winner.

The Market. Continued warm weather with bright sun has brought a still further increase in receipts. Carnations may be said to be in full crop and the cuts of tea roses are now quite large and fully equal to requirements. However, the demand is active for the better grades and the many choice Brides and Maids are bringing good returns. The short-stemmed material constitutes a considerable part of the receipts and this is sold cheaply. There has been no change in the Beauty situation, crops being pretty well off with most of the growers, but receipts are equal to the demand. Carnations were never better in qual- ity. The demand continues to be first for white, but there are enough of all colors. So large a proportion of this season 's planting was Lawson that pinks are in oversupply and the Greeks are able to buy job lots at the close of the day's business at very reasonable prices. The principal streets are lined with flower stands and the town has a spring- like appearance. Since the cold weather departed the shipments of New York violets have increased very greatly. There is seldom a time but what the wholesalers have un- broken boxes of the Hudson River goods in stock, but there is a larger outlet for the violet now that it can be worn on the street and, by comparison with what we hear from New York, returns to the growers should be satisfactory. The receipts of bulbous flowers con- tinue to increase. The quality is excel- lent. There is a big surplus of daffo- dils and jonquils. The growers say tulips in pans sell fairly well. Harrisii and callas are so abundant that prices are on the downward grade. Freesia is not so often seen this season. Con- siderable quantities of valley are about.

At the Florists' Club's meeting Feb- ruary 23 there was a good attendance, but the majority missed a treat in not hearing E. G. Eoutzahn's lecture on beautifying Chicago. His address was full of interest and well delivered. If every florist could show his customers the pictures thrown on the screen it would result in a general cleaning up and in a lot of planting of trees, shrubs and bedding plants. The pictures proved that a very little work will add vastly to the attractiveness of a neighborhood. The club voted to have a business ex- hibition of Easter stock and florists' supplies at the second March meeting. No premiums are to be awarded but every exhibitor is expected to book some orders. A supper is planned for an early date. A smoker is announced for March 9. Varioos Notes.

Most of the delega- tion represented Cook county, which pays forty per cent of the taxes that support the station's work for the farmers, but has never had any share in the direct benefit. There was a meeting of a dozen or more at the Benthey-Coatsworth of5.ce last Saturday to plan the work of get- ting the appropriation through the leg- islature. Those appointed to go to Springfield were P. J. Foley, W. N. Budd, James Hartshorne and Leonard Kill. Just as we go to press Mr. Eudd tele- graphs from Springfield as follows: Florists' bill Introduced In house and senate. Our committee had a hearing before the appro- priation committees of tx>th houses and feels much encouraged. We have received good sup- port. Charles Penshorn, who is one of the veterans of the trade, is engaged in su- ing the city for damage done his prop- erty at Sixty-first and Throop streets by opening a street which took off about ten feet of his greenhouses. The city allowed him a little over $1,700 damages but assessed most of it back to him for benefit to his remaining property. The case is, up this week and Mr, Penshorn has subpoenaed J. F. Kidwell, L. Coats- worth and Sam Pearce as experts to show the extent of the damage done him. George W. Caldwell, the Woodsman, at Evergreen, Ala., reports to Kennicott Bros. Co. that long continued rains have made it impossible for the wild smilax gatherers to get into the woods. Conse- quently shipments are much delayed.

Benthey says that he believes nearly all classes of bulbous Stock, par- ticularly Paper Whites and tulips, to have brought better returns so far this season than for several years. He says Sam Pearce reports very good returns on daffodils. 'A. L. Bandall has been on the sick list this week and Carl Thomas has been holding the fort alone in spite of a boil and a very bad cold. Henry Payne, at Hinsdale, will throw out a lot of Sprengeri and plant his plumosus closer together, so that he will have room tQ bench something like 15,000 carnations. Howe & Taylor, 140 West Lake street, have opened a stand at the Growers' Market for the sale of wire work. C. M. Dickinson is on a trip south for his health. A. G. Prince is in town for a few days. He has been out in Iowa in a brokerage business for a couple df years but is thinking of going back into the flower trade. Arthur Ellison, of St. Louis, called on the trade on his way home from Mil- waukee, where he participated in last week's national bowling congress. One of the Ristow brothers on North Western avenue, who has had eight or nine houses in roses, will plant them all to carnations next year. He has bought the stock at J. A. Budlong's. A. Stolper, of Winnipeg, was a visitor this week. ST. LOUIS. The Market. Milder weather aids in increasing transient trade. Business in general, though, is reported rather dull; but in the few days left for the social season before Lent no doubt some of us will be busy with decorative work. Quite a number of weddings are booked for this week. With the west end florists, one noticeable feature of the cut flower market the past week was the drop in prices on roses, which have been scarce and high right along. The production in all kinds of stock is very much great- er than the demand and the trouble- some glut is on at the commission houses. The wholesalers report a fair trade in all lines, but stock is so plentiful that it is impossible to sell half the stock that comes in every day to the local and shipping trade. Street fakirs are out selling violets, but are being run from corner to corner by the police on complaint of the down town florists. Boses in all classes are plentiful, also of improved quality. There is no ap- parent glut in any one variety, still more than the demand calls for. Brides have been very scarce, but this week there are enough. This stock must be of extra fine quality to sell well. Enough Beauties in all grades are in the market at $4 per dozen for long stems. Meteor is of much better color, but small in flower. Extra fancy Bridesmaids are to be had, also extra fine Gen. MacArthur. Carnations can now be called a glut and thousands unsold can be seen fast asleep. I'ancies are now down as low as $3 per hundred. In this class are Enchantress, Prosperity and Lawson. Bulbous stock of all kinds is a drug, especially tulips. Along with them are daffodils, freesias, Romans, Paper Whites and almost everything in the bulb line can be bought for little or nothing. Violets are received in great quantities and have to suffer along with the rest. As to price, in large lots thev go for $2 to $2.50 per thousand. It was said that no less than 100,000 were handled by, the wholesalers last Satur- day. Harrisii and callas are also in the market in large quantities. These are selling as low as $1 per dozen. Mignonette and sweet peas are selling slowly. In greens there is little change. Plenty of everything is to be had at usual prices. Various Notes. On next Thursday afternoon the St. Louia Florists' Club will hold its March meeting. The annual rose exhibition wiU be held that afternoon. The com- mittee in charge of the exhibition re- ports that a large display is promised and that the club's most entertaining speakers will address the members on rose subjects. The business session will be cut short, so as to give the members an opportunity for social intercourse as well as for the other attractions which will draw an audience worthy of the occasion. The committee has arranged for a banquet at the Missouri Athletic Club at which all visitors will be enter- tained. Every branch of the trade is invited to attend this meeting. Mr. Barnett, traveler for Reed & Kel- ler, of New York, who made many friends in the local trade during the last convention, called on the trade last week. The local growers are busy preparing stock for Easter. Among those who have fine looking stock are Chas. Beyer, C. C. Sander, Wm. Schray & Sons, Geo. Wind- ier, Henry Felter, C. Young & Sons, J. F. Windt, A. G. Bentzen and A. Jablon- sky. These find ready sales to the local retail trade. The Plant and Cut Flower Growers' Association, which was recently or- ganized, meets every third Wednesday at 3 p. m. Their constitution and by- laws have been mailed to all growers. They are also out with a statement that their association is not in conflict with the St. Louis Florists' Club and that they do not intend to supplant the par- ent body. Nick Himmer, at Meramec Highlands, reports that he will build four new houses this summer for carnations. He has had great success this season with carnations, violets and smilax. The brothers say, "watch us next season." Henry Aul and Max Herzog, neigh- bors out at Gratiot, are sending in good stock to this market. Jos. Hauser, at Webster Groves, who lost his plant by fire recently, will just as soon as the weather permits start to build a new range of houses on the old site. Martin Reukauf, of H. Bayersdorfer, PhUadelphia, is a caller this week. John Connor, of Webster Groves, is v^vS*' Jv i-f'^' *v;"'™-j ■■•y'^ — .' • *■ ■■SR5^ 828 The Weekly Florists' ReviewT March 2, 1906.

The past week can be classed as a very satisfactory one all around. The weather has been less severe. Street salesmen have been able to ply their vo- cation and there has been little surplus of anything. Eoses continue in rather short sujJply and command good prices, still much the same as a week ago. Lib- erties are selling well and are not plen- tiful, select stock fetching $30 to $35 per hundred. Carnations clean out re- markably well without any particular change in prices. Violets are coming in very abundantly. About 50 cents is top price, poorer grades bringing 25 and 30 cents. The size of the foliage on tha bunches would indicate that the single varieties will soon run out in the houses except where kept very cold. Bulbous stock has not sold so well for years. There appears to be just about enough to go around. Yellow Trumpet narcissi are a trifle lower. Tu- lips remain about the same, the variety La Reine being especially popular. Cal- las are quite abundant and lilies more plentiful. Prices on these remain about the same. Ten-week stocks in several colors, Spiraea Japonica and antinhi- nums come from some growers but do not seem to sell especially well. Hortictiltural Society. On February 25 J. Woodward Man- ning opened a general discussion on flowers in lieu of the regular lecture, dealing principally with perennial flow- ering plants and ornamental trees and shrubs. Asked for a selection of twelve first-class perennials to grow Mr. Man- ning ni^ed the following: Primula vulgaris, Veronica rupestris, Convallaria majalis, Iris Germanica, Hemerocallls vflava. Delphinium hybridum, Phlox pani- culata. Pajonias officiaialisB .and, Festiva maxima, Lupinus polyphyllus, Helian- thus deeapetalus, Pyrethrum uliginosum. Asters Novae-Anglise, William Bowman and Lady Trevellyn, Veronica longi- folia subsessilis and Anemone Japonica as among the best subjects to choose from. His selection of a dozen flower- ing shrubs would comprise: Prunus triloba, Forsythia Fortunei, Spiraea Thunbergi, Philadelphus coronarius, Vi- burnum plicatum, Pavia maerostachya, Lonicera Morrowi, Rosa rugosa, Hy- drangea paniculata grandiflora, Berberis Thunbergi, Desmodium penduliflorum and Syringa Rothomagensis. Messrs. A. A. Hixon, E. O. Orpet. R. Cameron, D. Finlayson and K. Pinlayson took part in the discussion which followed. About 200 persons listened attentively to the various speakers. On March 4 A. Herrington lectures on "Some Aspects of Hardy Flower Gardening," which will undoubtedly draw a large audience. Peter Murray will stage a splendid collection of den- drobium plants in some thirty varieties and species at this meeting. W. N. Craig will show a group of phalaenopsis. At the lecture on February 11, when Dr. Geo. D. Moore lectured on "Bac- teria as Fertilizers" the audience num- bered 446. Gardeners' and Florists' Qub. The meeting on February 21, already briefly referred to, was a very success- ful one. Sixty-seven memDers were present and seven were elected to mem- bership during the evening. ~ Ex-presi- dent Pettigrew sent a letter 'resigning the presidency of the reception com- mittee, which, however, he was induced to retain ere the meeting closed. An amendment to the by-laws relating to the election of officers was defeated. A committee of five was appointed to re- port on the form of awards to be given by the club. The committee consists of Messrs. Farquhar, Stewart, Craig, Peter Fisher and Merton. W. W. Rawson's lecture on the cul- ture of vegetables under glass as com- pared with twenty-five years ago was very 'interesting and led to a lively dis- cussion. Mr. Rawson said when he started in business twenty-five years ago with 200 sash, everyone predicted the poorhouse for him. However, he now has thirty-six large houses. At lea-st twenty times as many vegetables were grown under glass as compared with a quarter of a century earlier. No vege- table growing plant is up-to-date whicli >do^9, ^lot use steam heat. He has no use, for h^t ■ water, classing hot water' boilers as mere tea kettles. He has for years done all his own building and piping. His largest house, covering half an acre, has a 3-inch main and ten re- turns with five pounds pressure. It cost about $150 to sterilize this house. He sterilizes all his compost and it well repays for the labor incurred. He con- siders that sterilization gives him prac- tically virgin soil. Speaking of eucum her prices, he said they paid best at $7 to $8 per hundred, rather than the higher prices, where you can pick from 10,000 to 15,000 daily. He consider? 40x250 a good size for a vegetable house and a man with several of that size ought to have no trouble in succeeding. Quite a number of members joined in the discussion. Alexander Montgomery said John N. May sterilizes all his rose soil for best results. He advocated high, roomy houses as being more eco- nomical to build and best as compared with an equal area of smaller ones. Messrs. Finlayson, Peter Fisher. Duncan, Craig, Cole and others also discussed the subject and a cordial vote of thanks was tendered to Mr. Rawson. Exhibits on the table included Rosa- lind Orr English rose and Cardinal car- ration from E. G. Hill Co. These ar- rived in splendid condition and the former especially was greatly admired. Each was awarded a certificate of merit. A. Roper had a nice vase "of Carnation Chester Roper, a good striped variety, which received honorable mention. Geo. M. Anderson had some promising carna- tion seedlings and cineraria flowers and H. A. Stevens Co. had a vase of fine Flamingo. Alexander Ogg showed cut blooms of some very superior seedling amaryllises, also sprays of Jasminum primulinum. T. H. Westwood had a plant of Canna Admiral Dewey. At the next club meeting, on March 21, which comes two days prior to the opening of the spring "show and Rose Society's exhibition, roses will be dis- cussed. Several notable rose growers from a distance will be present. Various Notes. Alexander Montgomery is visiting prominent rose growers in New York and New Jersey this week to interest them in the coming meeting of the American Rose Society. M. H. Walsh's exhibit of his seedling rambler roses at the coming exhibition will be a notable one, far surpassing his collection shown in 1904. He will forward two car-loads March 2, 1905.

William Nicholson has sold a large quaiitit.y of pans of Primula obconica at the ' market this season. A number of small plants were used in each pan, which made very pretty and salable stock The recent death of Farquhar Macrae, of Providence, E. I., is much regretted here, where he was well known, being a visitor at all our important shows. John "Walsh, manager of the Park street market, has been quite badly crippled with rheumatism the past week. Banunuculi and anemones are now seen in a number of the stores. Pots of the Buttercup prifnrose are displayed in several. It does not appear to be a great seller, however. F. E. Palmer, of Brookline, is one of the most successful of our local bulb growers. He handles some 4,000 pans of tulips alone each year and he knows how to grow them well, too. Doyle had the decorations for the An- drew ball at the Somerset the past week. Everything was in his best style. W. N. Craig. KANSAS QTY. The Market. A week of bright sunshine has pro- duced a great difference in greenhouse crops. Eoses are coming in plentifully now, and some fine Brides, Chatenay and Gates are to be seen. Prices as yet have not dropped appreciably. Bridesmaids have not yet reached the market in good shape, but a visit among the growers shows some of good quality coming on. Beauties are oflF crop and what few there are, are of poor sub- stance. Carnations are arriving in large quantities and are showing better than they have in weeks. Prices have dropped fully one-third, with the department stores in competition with the regular florists. Some fine La Heine and Keizerskroon tulips are displayed and some fancy prices are paicL Valley, Dutch and Eoman hyacinths are not as plentiful as a week ago and what are offered are quickly taken.

Mr. Kellogg has about 325,000 feet of glass, over 175,000 feet in roses, about 38,000 in carnations under the care of Mr. Tatro. The rose houses are divided into three sections, with Mr. Johnson over the Beauties, Mr. Larson the Brides, Maids and Chatenays and with M. F. Parker general manager. Glenn Parker has charge of the shipping department. Mr. Kellogg will commence as soon as the ground can be worked to grade enough to add another 75,000 feet, which will be used exclusively for car- nations. In addition to this an up-to- date dairy will be started this spring, with a large herd of Jersey cows, which will employ a large number of men in addition to the thirty-five already em- ployed. Perry Finn, proprietor of the Car- thage Greenhouses, Carthage, Mo., was a visitor last week, buying up a new stock of plants to replace those that were destroyed by fire the first of Feb- ruary.

The 39tb annual convention will be held at West Baden, Ind., June, 1906. John T. Withers has become man- ager of the Shatemuc Nurseries, Barry- town, N. Y. The western trade growers are offering considerable quantities of two-year-old cherry trees and large lots of one-year-old stock. KiLLABNEY rose is being widely ad- vertised this season, some nurserymen going so far as to state that it is the "best bedder." The Pennsylvania Nurserymen's Asso- ciatipn has prepared a new inspection bill, which will shortly be presented to the state legislature. One of the scarce items is Tea's weeping mulberry. One-year-old stock is worth several times as much as it was three years ago. Quantities of older stock are reported as not to be had. Nurserymen are beginning to appre- ciate the peril in indiscriminate propaga- tion of fruiting stock and the value of a careful selection as parents, trees or plants of the best type of the variety wanted. It was once the practice to trench in sand all nursery stock in winter storage, but under the conditions of modern stor- age it has been found that stock may as well be corded, and with great economy of space. Excelsior is usually used about the roots. A NEW hybrid tea rose is to bear the name of Frau Pettr Lambert and it is one of a number of seedlings raised by Herr Erie Wilter, in 1902. So much is thought of it abroad that it is favored" by having a full page colored illustra- tion in Rosen-Zeitung. for December; it is a beautiful salmon-rose color, the M anetti Stocks Just received in splendid condition.

The advent in this country of this new rose will be looked forward to with much interest. James Wobden, the well-known nur- seryman of Wellington, Kan., died Feb- ruary 22, of paralysis. He was 70 years of age and removed to Wellington from Bloomington, 111., many years ago, building up a large business. The contract for furnishing trees and shrubs to the Department of Parks, New York, was last week awarded to Fred'k W. Kelsey. The contract is for a gen- eral assortment of trees, conifers, and hardy shrubs, to be delivered during the planting season of 1905. CHARLES QTY, lA. The Sherman Nursery here becomes of age this season, for, started in 1884, it is twenty-one y:gars of age in 1905. In 1884 there were but a few acres of land in use and less than half a dozen employes, but by 1888 the growth of the business demanded outside capital and incorporation. E. M. Sherman, the founder of the business, has been con- tinuously the president of the company. There are now 300 acres in nursery stock and 800,000 apple grafts and a million grape cuttings were part of the 1904 plant. A specialty is made of ever- green seedlings, five acres under shade being devoted to them last season and t""» acres more will be needed in 1905. During the growing season as high as 125 hands are employed, not to speak of one of the largest forces of agents in the country. The Sherman Nursery Co. also has a good sized greenhouse department, two houses 34x250 being devoted to cut flow- ers, mostly roses, which are sold at wholesale. They also have a stock of palms and ferns. SEED PACXING. The following note is sent to The Gardeners' Chronicle by W. Watson, of the Eoyal Botanic Garden, Kew, Eng- land : The experience of Kew In the distribution of seeds to all parts of the world may be termed exceptionally successful, and It Is often achieved without much trouble. Indeed. It is too often the case that seeds received at Kew are rendered worthless by the special methods of preparation and packing adopted by the send- ers. There are, however, certain kinds of seeds which soon lose their vitality If kept dry, and among these are all kinds of oak-acorns. For the last twenty-flve years, at least, consign- ments of acorns have been sent annually from Kew to South Africa. They used to be packed In beer casks, the acorns being put In through the bung-hole, and the casks filled up with water; but an experiment made about fifteen years ago proved that this method was less suc- cessful than that of packing the acorns In a wooden case in layers with moist cocoa-nut fibre between each layer. The report was — "Acorns sent In water a failure, those sent In cocoa-nut fibre have germinated on the way, and we have now 1,200 strong seedlings from them." Last October we had an application for a quantity of acorns of Quercus pedunculata, Q. sesslltflora, and Q. Cerrls, for St. Vincent. They were packed In damp cocoa-nut fibre' In wooden boxes, beginning with a layer of fibre at the bottom, then a layer of acorns, and so on till the boxes were filled. They were labeled "To be placed In a cool place In the hold." The report Just received states that "The acorns of Quercus pedunculata have germinated well; Q. sesslllfiora are not quite so forward; and Q. Cerrls still less so." I can strongly recommend damp cocoa-nut fibre and wooden boxes for all seeds that perish easily, and that can be conveniently packed in them; for In- stance, seeds of Para rubber. Ceara rubber, and Brazil nuts. For seeds generally I know of nothing better thaii paper packets and calico bags, and the more moisture there Is in the seeds themselves when thus packed the bet- ter.

Visited Chicago. — Chas. P. Braslan, of Braslan Seed Growers Co., San Jose, Cal. Ip the weather of the past week is not bringing in seed orders, something is wrong with the price list. It seems that Champion, Chicago Mar- ket and Perry Hybrid are among the scarce varieties of sweet corn. Louisville reports its stock of onion sets well cleaned up, the remnant go- ing briskly on a rising market. Seed potatoes are selling slow, ac- cording to reports, with little prospect of any great demand for them later on. A NOTE on another action for dam- ages under a seed warranty appears on the Pacific Coast page of this issue of the Review. The seed clerk, who offered a 14-inch lawn mower to the lady who asked for a premium with her pound of lawn grass, is still holding a job. It is true enough, as the hustler be- low stairs casually remarked, that the taking of a seed order requires less brains than the filling of it. Returning from a contracting trip for the Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, John F. Geary reports good business. S. F. Leonard has recovered from his some- what protracted illness. It is reported that onion seed is in good demand. The growers are satis- fied with the prices onions are now bringing and this has the effect of in- ducing them to buy seed freely. The postoflSce has withdrawn its of- fer to supply special applications for money orders to go out with catalogues but permits the advertiser to print his own special application blanks under certain restrictions, first of which is that a permit be obtained from the de- partment. Some of the growers are inclined to shorten plantings of peas the coming year, and increase the acreage of beans. This brings to mind a Chicago gardener named Callahan, who for many years failed in his endeavor to have an abun- dance of the vegetable that scarcity made high. It is hard to strike it right. Every seedsman sends his catalogue to last year's customers, no matter the size of the order. Practically all houses mail the new book to customers not heard from for two years and most of them send it to names not heard from for three years, while some keep every name on their list indefinitely. Five years ago a woman in a city where there are good seed stores, for the sake of convenience sent an order for a ten-cent packet of lantana to an eastern seed house whose advertisement chanced to fall under her eye.

Evidently that house makes no effort to determine the value of a name. But when the 1905 cata- logue came to hand the woman sent a postal card asking them to make better use of the book in 1906. There are many ways of adding new iiames to a mailing list, but the means of disposing of dead names are far less numerous. The most general one, that of advising the postmaster to send for return postage on undeliverable pieces, is rendered of little value by the failure of the great majority, it must be, of postmasters to comply with the law. It is sometimes argued that with general seed catalogues there is a recompense in that few such books are destroyed; that they find their way to someone who is as likely to order as would be the ad- dressee.

According to a New York dis- patch papers were drawn February 25 in a suit to prevent the expenditure of any part of the society's surplus to ac- quire Mr. Hyde's interest. Mr. Tull holds a twenty-year endowment policy of the Equitable Society. He has as- sociated with him many others who hold large policies in the company. In his complaint Mr. Tull asks the court for relief for nearly 400,000 policy-holders from the present condition in the com- pany's affairs. He alleges that the char- ter of the Equitable Society states it shall be a mutual organization and that all profit of more than 7 per cent on the company's stock shall go to the policy-holders. He states the policy- holders have paid in large sums of money and that under the charter the surplus of $81,000,000 belongs wholly tc them. LONDON WHOLESALE SEEDSMEN. Jacob Wrench & Sons.

The present head of the firm is Arnold Moss. Carter, Dunnett & Beale. I have one of James Carter's modest seed catalogues, bearing date 1842, be- fore me, but I am unable to state the year of the foundation of the house; but it was probably previous to the accession of Queen Victoria. On the death of James Carter, three of his assistants, Messrs. Ainsworth, Beale and White, took over the business under the desig- nation of Carter & Co. Eventually Mr. Beale became sole partner, and he took into partnership the late W. H. Dunnett, of Dedham, Essex, who had extensive seed grounds there, and the firm became known as above. Mr. Beale, whose death occurred a few years ago, was succeeded by his son, Gilbert Beale and probably younger members of the family, says Bichard Dean in the Horticultural Trade Journal.

Business was good in the Allegheny market last week. E. C. Ludwig re- ports last week as good as Christmas week.

CXEVELAND. The severe weather has eased up a trifle and has had its effect on business which is in a normal and healthy condi- tion despite the great influx of bulbous stock of all varieties. Eoses are clean- ing up nicely at a fair price. Brides and Maids are coining in more plenti- fully, of good quality and superb color. Long Beauties are scarce. Short- stemmed are abundant. One store has a sale on at 75 cents per dozen. Meteor is not selling nearly as well as in pre- vious years. It is hoped the Bichmond will prove to be its successor, as it is a beautiful rose with a remarkable fra- grance. Gen MacArthur is gaining more friends every day and has come to stay. Carnations are in heavy demand. Prices are not what they ought to be, considering the fine quality. Is the carnation being overdone? This serious question has been in my mind for some time. High grade blooms should bring double the present price. Sweet peas are more plentiful, with demand fair. Mignonette, valley and violets can be had at a reasonable figure. Washington's birthday called for n few decorations for balls and parties, which assisted in cleaning up the mar- ket last week. Various Notes. A new flower shop will be opened March 4 by the enterprising firm of Col- lins & Harrison, of 146 Euclid avenue, rt is to be located in the lobby of the magnificent Hollenden Hotel. The store is to be fitted up in a very elaborate style. Plate glass mirrors will play a very prominent part and finished oflf with Italian marble and white enamel. The very best grade of flowers will be liandled and a large stock will always be on hand to eater to this swell trade. Mr. Collins has something more up his sleeve which he will spring on the florists later in the season. The Gasser Co. is making a large dis- play of azaleas and bulbous stock in pans and boxes. Smith & Fetters' window display of bulbs in boxes and pans makes a nice showing. About April 1 this firm will vacate the present store and locate m a more commodious store on the op- posite side of the avenue. James Eadie is making a fine show of lilies, azaleas and bulbous stock at his Erie street store. Pete, bettter known as the Greek hustler, is doing a large trade in the Colonial Arcade and the Euclid Arcade. He disposes of carnations and roses by the thousand, which he bnvs mostly in •Chicago. Milton Parks, of the Citizen's build- ing, says business is picking up finely since the weather has moderated. William Smith, of West Madison ave- nue, has completed his two new houses. One is a propagating house. The other will be planted to Kaiserin and Meteor for summer blooms. We are pleased to report that Mrs. A. Graham and son, Edward, who are at Hot Springs, were not in the terrible <'onflagration. Mr. Graham is convales- cing nicely. The Cleveland Floral Cor, on Euclid avenue, is in the hands of a receiver, having gone into voluntary bankruptcy.

Hutchison says that this has been a hard winter on the coal pile, but that prospects are very good for trade. His carnations never looked bet- ter and the liouses are literally seas of buds. He is having a very success- ful season in propagating, the young stock being perfect. He has five houses, new and up-to-date in every particular. His varieties are the old standbys, they liaving done well enough in quantity to make up for what they lack in size. He has a new red seedling of Roney Bros., West Grove, Pa., that he likes and will plant in some quantity next season. It is an easy grower, large plant, good color and good producer. ST. PAUL. Trade was very good despite the cohl weather. It is much warmer now and flowers are abundant. Beauties are about the only item not in over-supply. Notwithstanding the immense cut, there is but little going to waste and prices have not changed appreciably.

That after planting and caring for it plaintiff found that it was not Grand Rapids seed and was of no value for greenhouse purposes, or for any other purpose. He alleges that on account of the fact he was prevented from raising any crop of marketable lettuce, and was thereby damaged to the amount of $900. RHUBARB CULTURE. The following note is from the En- terprise, of Riverside, Cal., for Febru- ary 20. Mrs. Tbeodosla SUepherd, of Ventura, has developed a bis business in the culture of rhubarb. She has leased vacant lots about town aggregating about an acre, and has planted rhubarb plants thereon. So well has she succeeded that she is now shipping to out- side points from twelve to fifteen tons a weels. Some of these shipments are consigned to Ogden, San Francisco, Fresno and Los Angeles. The rhubarb plant grows with little attention. It is perennial and the price re- ceived for it enables the grower to make a big profit. SAN FRANCISCO. The Market We are having beautiful spring weather but flowers are rather scarce, with the exception of violets and daf- fodils. Eoses, except the short-stemmed stock, seem to be out of business. I made a tour of the principal stores in town this week and was surprised to see such a poor showing of first-class roses, darnations are in sufficient supply to cover the demand. The price remains the same as it has for the past month but from what I hear from the grow- ers it will drop considerably in the next two weeks, as the period of rest- ing is getting over and with favorable weather an avalanche of flowers can be expected very soon. Paper White nar- cissi are gone but daffodils are now in full crop. Princeps and Sir Watkin are the best selling sorts and are sell- ing at from 75 cents to $1 per hundred blooms. Roman hyacinths are gone. Dutch hyacinths are used for window decorating and some late blooming aza- leas and cyclamens make the windows showy. Quantities of almond and plum blos- soms are brought in and are very popu- lar for decorative purposes. Smilax and maidenhair are scarce and the florists have to rely to a great extent on wild ferns of various kinds. Business is rather quiet, although I think it is bet- ter than it was last year at this time. Funeral work seems to furnish most of the demand. Various Notes. Arnold Ringier, representing W. W. Barnard & Co., of Chicago, is in town. Mr. Eingier came by the way of Ore- gon and Washington and reports every- thing flourishing in the northwest. J. H. Sievers & Co. are ready to send out their light pink Lawson. It is a grand acquisition to our list. It is about the color of Enchantress, with a very large flower and long, heavy stem. Mr. Sievers considers it one of his fin- est seedlings. Clfas. Stepenbach reports a heavy month's business.

When should Harrisii lilies show buds to be in bloom for Easter at a temperature of 55 degrees at night and 75 degrees in the daytime? F. A. H. If Easter were two weeks earlier than it is this spring, then we would allow seven weeks. But, as we will have three full weeks in April, and that should include many bright days, then if you can count the buds six weeks be- fore Easter you will be all right. Japan longiflorums are often forced in a high temperature in less time than six weeks, from the visible buds, but at the temperature you quote and the lateness of Easter, Harrisii will be sure to be in time if you see the buds six weeks before the day of demand. Don't be at all afraid, however, of being a week too early. Lilies when open will keep in a cool, dark shed for a good week and more in perfect condition. W. S. HARRISn LILIES. Can I bloom Harrisii lilies in 4-inch potsf I had no other size pot when I put them in. 'ihey are looking fine now. Had I better, or can I change them safely? C. P. N. If they are "5 to 7s" then they can be flowered in 4-inch pots, although it is not the way to do it, and the foliage will have a starved appearance, and if you expect to sell any in pots they will not be very attractive. If these plants are "7 to 9s" and not over twelve to eighteen inches in height just now and are intended for Easter, you can shift them into 6-inch with ease and safety. See that the soil is evenly distributed around the old ball of roots and pot firmly, also don't be deceived by the moist appearance of the new soil. It may look moist while the 4-inch ball of roots may be dry. You could shift into a 5-inch but if they are 7 to 9-inch bulbs they should have a 6-inch pot. W. S. LILY DISEASE. I enclose a few leaves of lilium Har- risii. Please tell me what is the mat- ter with them. They are in 6-inch pots, about five inches above the pots, but do not seem to grow. They are in a night temperature of about 56 degrees and in daytime about 70 degrees or more on sunny days. Please tell me what to do with them. The longiflorum stand alongside of them and they are doing well. They are about fourteen to eighteen inches above the pots and look fine- P. J. K. The leaves enclosed were quite small and diseased. Your temperatures are all right and if the longiflorum in the same house and soil are in perfect health, then the trouble is no fault of yours. It is simply a bad case of lily disease, which was in the bulbs when you received them and nothing you can do will restore health to the plants. Throw them out and endeavor to pur- chase better bulbs next fall. Unless they are guaranteed to you as free from disease, which is not likely, you can scarcely blame the dealer you bought from, for he in turn was deceived. It is the man in Bermuda who is guilty. W.

He baa been coming over periodically for two years and has visited John Murchie's for the purpose of admiring Carnation Fred Burki. It looked better than ever to him the last trip. He reports the stems two and a half to three feet and the flowers three and a half inches. He will discard other whites to make room for Burki next season. It is an early bloomer, upright grower and does not burst; as Mr. Beck expresses it, "it is a bread and butter variety with a little molasses on top." While Burki is the pride of the Murchie establish- ment, there are a number of promising seedlings, including a red which Mr. Beck thinks may make the other reds "go away back and sit down." At M. I.

Every grower who waa here in December was carried away with ita poaaibiUtles, aa a future aupply of a "holly berry red" forXmaa. There ia no pick in the blooma. They are all a uniform aize and color. There are 40.000 or 60,000 buda ahowing in different atagea of development at tbia time and there ia not a aplit or off color bloom in the lot and every plant is the picture of health.

Concerning the recent bad weather, it was general in most all the southern states, but seemed to be central over this section. It began February 3 with a downfall of rain which froze as it fell : then turning very cold it began sleeting and the thermometer went down to the zero mark. This lasted one solid week and by the heavy weight of the ice all varieties of trees were broken down very badly. Some were entirely destroyed. The ice also weight- ed down all the trolley, telephone and telegi-aph wires, so that traffic was im- possible. We florists had to get our cut flowers from the greenhouses in au- tomobiles or on foot, as it was impos- sible to drive horses over the slippery streets and all trolley ears were at a standstill. One of our local florists was a vic- tim of the severe storm. A large tele- graph pole, weighten down by the ice, fell across one of the greenhouses, break- ing about 125 lights and also damaging a few pot plants on the inside. The quick work of the greenhouse hands, by covering up the broken-in place, pre- vented- a greater loss, which would have been caused by the cold. The actual loss was not over $100. There were no funerals taking place for several days on account of the freeze up. Business was at a standstill. Such winters as this is an unusual thing for lis florists in the "Sunny South," and to recover without a greater loss we all are certainly thankful. Reports from all the local florists are that business is at present very good and prices in accordance. W. J. L. DES MOINES. lA. Charles Gay, who has done a success- ful business at his plant at Twenty- fourth street and Ingersoll avenue, has bought the greenhouses and stock of the Des Moines Plant Co., on Thirty- eighth street. He will continue at the old stand, using it for the retail trade, and will remove the wholesale depart- ment, which was in need of more room, to the new place. Here bedding and greenhouse plants will be grown in quan- tity. There is already a large stock on hand. Lansing, Mich. — A. N. Sherg is spending a few weeks at Portland on business.

Winsor were thrown open to the public from February 2'2 to 26 ami were visited by several thousand people, including many prominent florists and gardeners. As Mr. VVin.sor is disposing of all his or- chids and turning over his houses to his gardener, I'eter Murray, to be run by him eonimeroially in the future, this is the last year this interesting show will be seen, a faet which the public in Fairhaven, New Bedford and otheJ towns and cities near by keenly regret. As usual, all the houses were a blaze of bloom. The Winsor carnation was 3 prime attraction and showed up finely. It is almost identical with Lawson, but of about the same shade of color as Marquis. Dutch bulbous stock in quan- tity, MUiaryllises, cinerarias, cyclamens, Azaleas, enpatoriums, genistas, lily of the "valley and other seasonable plants were ■flowering in quantity.

Mentton The Berlew when yon write. CINONNATL The Market. Business is very good and the supply of Steele is moving out very nicely at good prices. There is nothing special going on but the general run of decora- tions and funeral work create the de- mand. Eoses continue rather scarce, Brides and Maids especially so. Beau- ties are coming in fair quantities and of good quality. They sell well. Carnations are plentiful one day and the next day there will not be nearly enough to fill orders. The Quality is fine. Bulbous stock is coming in in fairly large quantities. Dutch hyacinths sell well. Violets, though they sell pretty well, do not bring a very good price. This seems to have been a good year for violets in this vicinity and great quantities are being picked. Green goods are scarce. The Rose Show. This is a somewhat belated report of the rose show of the Florists' So- ciety, due to the writer's illness, but the exhibits were so good that the facta are entitled to go on record. W. K. Partridge put up the finest display of roses ever seen in the club rooms. He was, of course, awarded the prize for best general display, also first on Golden Gate, Ivory and Liberty and second on Meteor and Maid. George & Allan also made a fine showing. They were first on Meteor, second on Beauty and Perle and third on Maid. Albert Sunderbruch brought some fine stuff and received first on Maid and second on Bride. Peter Weiland staged some well grown stock and received third on Bride. J. W. Rodgers was awarded the prize for best display of violets. J. A. Peterson staged his white be- gonia in good shape. W. K. Partridge showed some espec- ially well grown carnations and G€orge & Allan bought a nice lot of bulbous stock. J. W. Rodgers was officer of the day and Theo. Bock was judge. Various Notes. H. D. Edwards is confined to his bed and is very sick. J. T. Conger and wife spent Sunday in Indiana. The work on the new retail store of Julius Baer is progressing nicely and when finished it will be a model estab- lishment. Chas. Pommert, of Amelia, O., is sending in some fine Sprengeri which sells on sight. Visitors: Will Reeser, TJrbana; H. H. Eitter, Dayton, and Chas. Weltz, Wil- mington. C. J. Ohmee.

Huddart, the well known florist, died February 20 at the Turk- ish bath parlors in the Kenyon. He had been at the institution for a week, under- going treatment for a nervous disorder, and seemed to be on the road to recov- ery. About 1 o'clock, after having par- taken of a light meal, in attempting to walk across the room he was seized with a fainting spell and before medical as- sistance could be had he was dead. Mr. Huddart was born in England in 1864. PVom his childhood he had worked in and about a greenhouse for his father, who was a florist. At an early age he came to America and worked at the business in New York city for two or three years. Some nine years ago he came to Salt Lake, where he set up an establishment of his own, and this city has since been his home. He leaves a wife and one daughter, the latter four years old. FORT WAYNE, IND. Death of Charles E. Vesey. Cliarles E. Vesey died February 18, of lockjaw, after a brief but terrible illness. The fatal termination followed stepping on a nail, which penetrated the foot. Mr. Vesey was 37 years of age, a man of brilliant attainments and ex- emplary character. He was a brother of the popular Judge Vesey, of W. J. & M. S. Vesey. He was shortly to have married Miss Tillie Meinhardt, of St. Louis, who was summoned to Fort Wayne when it was seen that his in- jury was of a serious character. Her i)rother, Fred Meinhardt, was also pres- ent at the funeral February 20. M\RYViu.E, Mo. — In the recent cold weather the water main supplying C. H. Hollied's place was frozen up.

BUILDING QUERIES. Please inform me through the Review whether or not the roof bars of a green- house are better with caps or without. "What size pipe do you recommend for hot water heating, and how many for a house 20x50 feet standing east and west for carnations t The coldest weather out- side is about 20 degrees below zero. Would solid beds be better than raised benches f This house will stand on a high ground with good drainage. The side walls are of wood and one partly glass, namely the south side. Is it bet- ter to have the pipes under the beds or on the side walls? E. A. M. While there are some who use butted glass and caps on the sash-bars they are greatly in the minority. My personal preference is for lapped glass, no caps. The glass should be lapped from one- eighth to three-sixteenths of an inch and bedded in good putty. Heating pipes for hot water range in size from 1 14 -inch to 4-inches in diam- eter. If cast-iron pipes are to be used 3-inch or 4-inch is the size usually em- ployed. With hot water under pressure, which is undoubtedly the most satisfac- tory, the pipes range from 1^4 -inch to 2-inch. The 2-inch pipe is a good size but a little more difficult to install than the smaller sizes. Your house 20x50 feet will require sixteen runs of pipe to maintain a temperature of 60 degrees during severe weather. A good plan would be to run three 2-inch risers, one under each bench, to return in four IVj- inch pipes to the boiler, i. e., threa :?- inch flows and twelve 1%-inch returns. The question of the position of the hcKting pipes is simply a question of bottom heat or no bottom heat. S ^^ A. DIETSCH COMPANY, ^^L^'^l'^^J^^^tT^J^^ Mention Tbe Bevlew when 70a write.

The Weekly Florists' Review* 877 IS LAVSON "RUNNING OUT^ At the recent carnation convention at Chicago it was stated that Lawson is "running out." This was permitted to go uncontradicted and, if it is true, it is important that the trade should be made to recognize the fact in time to take up the search for and find its successor before Lawson shall cease to be profitable. The average grower in past sea- sons found Lawson his best paying variety, partly because all have suc- ceeded with it, and it may be true, as has been stated, that half the car- nations grown today are Lawson. For the purpose of ascertaining if the speaker at the convention voiced the general opinion, the views of a number of leading growers were sought. They do not fully bear out the contention, but they are, nevertheless, very interesting reading. Several of the replies follow: E. G. Hill, Richmond, Ind. It would be passing strange if the Lawson carnation did not lose its con- stitutional vigor, considering the abuses to which the variety, in common with other sorts, has been subjected. In some places the Lawson still shows its old time health and freedom of bloom, but this is becoming the excejition and not the rule: Where the Lawson still maintains its strength and beauty, it does so because the culture and treat- ment have been characterized by a careful consideration of its require- ments. The wonderful productiveness of the variety tends to drain the strength from the plant and if indifferent care is given to the selection and the root- ing of the variety, deterioration is sure to follow, and it is not to be won- dered at when every known rule is violated in the growth, selection and handling of the stock. This deteriora- tion shows in the white streaks or dis- coloration of the flowers as well as in a less vigorous growth of the plant. The reversal under our method of culture of the usual time of growth and flowering of the carnation has more to do, perhaps, with the quick giving down of our American varieties of car- nations than any one other cause and when to this is added that greatest of all evils, the use of excessive heat and foul air in the propagating house, it is no wonder that even so sturdy a vari- ety as Lawson may sbow signs of fail- ing health. That the variety is breaking down to some extent is conceded by most grow- ers, but that it will continue to be grown profitably for some years by those who carefully select their cut- tings and exercise judgment in its growth and culture goes without the saying. Methods are improving in general and we look for a greater period of longevity for our carnations than has prevailed. As mentioned above, it is largely a question whether sane meth- ods shall rule, or whether known laws shall continue to be violated, as to whether Lawson and other fine varie- ties last onlv six years or for a much longer period. "Geny Bros., Nashville, Tenn. We offer as evidence in the matter of Lawson not "running out" the accom- panying photograph of one of our houses of Lawson, photographed Feb- ruary 12, 1905. We think nothing more need be said as to our views. W. N. Rudd, Mt. Greenwood, 111. It is certainly true with us that Lawson is neither so vigorous nor so productive as formerly. Under present methods of culture — -early planting in- doors, high feeding, and intensive cul- ture generally — it is to be expected that all varieties will rapidly deteri- orate; while, no doubt, if the plants propagated from wore left out late in the fall, grown cool and without feed- ing, and propagated after they had re- ceived the benefits of the increasing sunlight of approaching spring, and not over propagated, they would retain their vigor and productiveness indef- initely. The faster a horse trots the more he sweats. It does not matter much, however, as the improvements made in the flower compel us to con- tinually discard former favorites. There are a number of varieties now in sight which should put Lawson out of the running. J. H, Dunlop, Toronto. ^ I may say that our experience has not borne out this statement. While Law- son, with us, is not quite as large in size of flower as in past seasons, there is good reason for it other than lack of vitality. I think one reason of Lawson showing signs of wear is the high tem- perature at which the variety is grown in some sections in order to obviate hav- inPT burst calyxes. I have never run this variety above 54 degrees, our aver- age beingr 52 degrees, and while there are some burst calyxes yet we have Law- son in as good condition as when first introduced. With the white, red, varie- tmted and ligrht pink sports, it is des- tined, in this section at least, to furnish a large proportion of the plants grown for cut flowers. S. J. Goddard, Framingham, Mass. Regarding reports of Kawson "run- ning out," I am of the opinion that this is so. In some establishments we see Lawson as good as ever, but in the ma- jority it is quite the reverse and very inferior. Lawson has been the hardest ■^1?^?^ ^^$N> 1 1 ■ . ■ ■ ": A- »-. •? ■•4' -.■•■ ^'^^-:r:-;. ■-*>^•^■f -*^ -••'.: -T. , • ' * . ^ ' .-^- ■ *-.'

This no doubt is easily accounted for by the large quantities of that variety gfown in New England. Dale Estate, Brampton, Ont. We do not believe that Lawson is "running out," or will run out in a hurry. There have been times this sea- son when we have found that it was not as good a shipper as usual for long dis- tances, but we are not certain of the cause. In its own particular shade Law- son still holds itE< place, and is in good demand. C L. Washburn, Chicago. We find Lawson just as productive and fully up in quality to the first year we had it. We attribute this to the fact that we take a large part of our Law- son cuttings from field plants as late as possible before they freeze up. This gives us very fine, strong plants each year. There are too many Lawson grown, as it is such an easy "doer" that everybodv succeeds with it. The same can be said of Enchantress. We need more variety of color, as people are getting tired of seeing the same shades of color all the time. E. A. Stroud, Overbrook, Pa. Lawson, to my mind, is not "running out." The man who grows it well will find a market. This carnation no longer has the field to itself, but is competing with newer varieties. Ausfust Poehlmann, Morton Grove, HI. If we had an axe to grind we might nossiblv condemn Lawson. (The man old-time vigor. Judging by results we are justified in growing the variety ex- tensively and we doubt whether Nelson Fisher will knock it out. C W. Reimers, Louisville, Ky. Lawson is increasing in vigor and profit, and surpassing all other carna- tions for me. W. K, Partridge, Lockland, Ohio. Lawson is showing no sign of ' ' run- ning out" with me. I intend planting more of it next season. Wm. Scott, Buffalo, N. Y. The opinion is widely expressed that this greatest of all carnations is showing several signs of deterioration. Doubtless with many growers this is true, and we have noticed the fact this winter in more than one place, but we have also seen it recently as good as ever. If some men can grow it as healthy and perfect aa it was four years ago, so can others. It is too early in its existence for this fine variety to be "running out." It was such a grand acquisition that ev- erybody for the first two years propa- gated any and every part of the plant. It has also received by nearly every grow- er a strong heat, too strong to keep up a vigorous and healthy growth, and when it is grown in a night temperature of 50 degrees it will produce more per- fect flowers, if not quite so many of them. In the writer's humble opinion Law- son can be grown as fine in every re- spect as it ever was with proper selec- tion of cuttings and a lower temperature. Bursting and off color are great com- plaints. Don 't take cuttings from a Camatioa Robert Qaig. who made the statement, at the conven- tion, that Lawson is "running out" is not an introducer of novelties and ap- pears free from bias. — Ed.) We find our stock, however, to be as good as ever, probably due to change of soil in field and benches. This may help to retain its plant that has burst flowers. Usually you will find one plant bearing all burst calyxes, which are almost globular and early show that they are going to split. Another plant will bear flowers of per- fect form. You know whiih to choose. A bed that frequently comes under our notice is a dismal failure. They are planted in six inches of soil on the greenhouse floor, which is naturally dry, but this is not the way to treat Law- son. It must have perfect drainage. To conclude, in February, 1903, we saw at the Cottage Gardens a magnificent bench of Lawson which were planted on the bench from pots the previous May. The following Decefcber we saw a house of Lawson at Trenton Palls, N. Y., equal- ly as fine. They were lifted from the field in early July. Either method is all right. Take nothing but medium sized shoots from the flowering stems, and those only from free flowering plants with perfect calyxes, and plant in a raised bench or most thoroughly drained semi-solid bed and the good Mrs. Law- son is yet indispensable. M. A. Patten, Tewksbury, Mass. Yes, it seems to be the nature of all carnations, as we grow them in this coun- try, to run out in a few years, some varieties quicker than others. I think the free flowering varieties, the contin- ued growing without rest, and the in- discriminate taking of cuttings probably have something to do with it. Also the too free use in some cases of chemical fertilizers. Lack of ventilation alqo has considerable to do with it. J. F. Wilcox, Council Bluffs, la. As regards Lawson "running out," I think if a person is careful in select- ing stock, that Lawson is as good as it ever was, at least it does as well with us. Wm. Weber, Oakland, Md. I am not a believer in the theory that varieties "run out" or exhaust themselves after a certain period of time. The variety Mrs. Thomas W. Lawson, or any other variety in fact, will retain its vitality for ages provid- ing a rigid compliance with the demands of nature and the variety are adhered to. This is scarcely possible in the av- erage commercial establishment of to- day, and so, when a variety has been over propagated or has had several hard knocks in successive years, the grower begins to look around for something bet- ter of like color. Personally, I do not believe that Law- son is "running out," and while it is not as good as it was the first year we grew it, it is much better than it was for us the second year, and has improved ever since. The temporary set-back it sus- tained during the second vear we grew it was largely the fault of the house. It re- quires much less light than the average carnation. CARNATION NOTES.-EAST. Precautions. Not only must one be critical in the selection of cuttings and give the young plants the best of culture, but at all times every precaution must be taken to ward off disease. If you were careful to choose none but cuttings from vigorous plants the battle is half won. Still there are many chances of loss between prop- agation and planting out, especially from fungous troubles. In a batch of young plants it is not unusual to find a small number that are decidedly lacking in vigor. Instead of nursing these along any length of time, it would be economy to destroy them at once. In all probability you will lose ■JJ|()IHHl)i,ll ■!f|!nil!fPPW»WJVi4.iiii|.»tiJi.wil(Hul ft'WIW'^T^V'lfltlff^ 'T«!yTP?7T'lf7'^ir^'"v."T*'r'^«*?^ Mabch 9^ 1906. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 879 ■-'*: them, anyway; if not, you will wish you had, for it is such &b these that offer a shining mark for stem-rot in the field or soon after housing. The dormant spores of this dread disease float about in the air and, like all, or most, diseases of a parisitic nature, these spores, to become active, must lodge in a place suited to their requirements; also there must be necessary heat and moisture for development. Shade conditions are also favorable to their growth. Plants in the strong vigor of health offer no chance for fungus spores to ob- tain a foothold, and, if kept steadily growing, escape any attack. You have no doubt observed that some varieties are more liable to be affected than others, also that this dif- ference is sometimes not universal, as varieties affected with you may be wholly free from it at another place, showing the need of studying the pecul- iarities of each variety in order that vitality be not in any degree lessened. 1 will not say that stem-rot cannot be produced in the cutting bench, but do not believe that it has its origin here, as a rule. On the other hand, cuttings may be so weakened when in the sand by adverse conditions as to materially lower their vitality, thus becoming an easy prey. The prime cause of all disease, whether in animals or plants, can be traced to violation of nature's law whereby conditions are created favorable to the development and increase of dis- ease germs. In addition to eood culture, it is well to use means to^reduce the number of spores present to the lowest possible point. For this, sulphur applied to the heating pipes at intervals is advised, also dusting the plants with grape dust, at the same time allowing it to settle on all parts of the house. Never allow the atmosphere to become stagnant or heavily impregnated with moisture. While there are other troubles than stem-rot. it is the most dreaded, and if means are taken to keep clear of this, there need be little fear of others. Geo. S. Osborn. SAMPLE OF SOIL. I send a little box of soil as I have composted it for carnations for next season. What are its needs, if any? What constitutes an ideal soil for car- nations? J. T. The little box of soil you sent was hardly enough to form a good opinion of your soil, but if I mistake not it is the same that I advised you to add manure, etc., to, some time ago. I doubt whether you could improve this soil much more than you have done. But as I said in my other reply, it is not an ideal carnation soil and all the doc- toring you can do will not make it so. I would advise you to pot some young f'arnation plants in some of this mixture and see how they grow in it. If they make a good, sturdy growth you will find it all right to use next season on your benches. The ideal carnation soil is a fibrous loam, just medium heavy, with enough sand in it to make it rrumble when it gets dry. All sod should be well rotted and well pulverized be- fore planting. From one-third to one- fifth of manure should be added ^vhen composting, according to the natural fer- tility of the soil. A. F. J. Balr. Carnation Lieut. Peary. CRAIG AND PEARY. The accompanying illustrations are from photographs from the Cottage Gardens^ Queens, N. Y. The picture shows the character of flower of Rob- ert Craig probably better than any we have published. Lieut. Peary is the white which is being sent out this year and which has won the approval of those best qualified to judge of the value of a seedling. It has pure color, good size and form, strong stems of good length, strong calyx and is reported an early and continuous bloomer. Those who have seen it growing say that it gives promise of being a very useful commercial sort. CARNATIONS IN POTS. 1 have a north and south house eighty feet long and want to grow carnations. I want pink, red and white and want all-round bloomers. I do not care for size of flower but want perpetual bloom- ers in a temperature of 50 degrees. Could I expect success if I grew them in pots and kept shifting as required? I would like to do this so as to have the use of the benches for other purposes late in spring, and so I could- sell the old plants in pots. M. W. W. The best varieties for you to grow in that mariner would be Mrs. .Toost and Indianapolis for pink. Queen Louise, Moonlight and Lady Bountiful for white and Crane for red. These are all upright growers and good producers. It is not good policy to grow only one va- riety in a color if you can get more varieties of equal value. Every variety has its own time when it is at its best and it is well to have another variety in the same color which will be at its best when the other is at its poorest. The plan you suggest of growing the plants in pots could be executed all right, but you will find it lots of work. Start with 5-inch and shift into 7-inch when they need it and when the roots fill the sevens feed with liquid manure until you sell them. Unless you can sell a large part of them it would pay you better to plant them on the benches, as it will take the sale price of a good many of the plants to pay for the extra work in caring for them in the pots. A. F. J. Baur. PROSPERITY? I send you a couple of blooms of a carnation which I suppose is a sport. The pink flaked flowers first appeared on a bench of White Cloud, but the odges of the petals are not smooth, so it may not be a sport of Cloud. It is large and the stems long. The flow- ers keep splendidly. I have had this two seasons and see one or two similar plants in other lots, but they have net as yet bloomed. J. ,T. L. The blooms were badly wilted by the time they reached me, but they revived enough for me to be able to see the form and color. T think you had a plant or two of Prosperity mixed in your White Cloud.

It does not do to sow so early that these plants occupy much room un- til after Easter, for you will not have room to spare, and by the end of April or early May they should go into cold frames. Now, take asters at 25 cents a dozen! There is a fair profit in them, as they can be grown in flats at little more than one inch apart. Cobaea. Don't sow this until the end of March.

If you are not sure that you can distinguish the right end to push into the soil, then plant the seed edgewise, press- ing the seed in until it is even with the surface and you will be sure to be right. Don't keep the soil too moist or the seed will rot. Pennisetum. This beautiful grass is one of the most ornamental plants for the flower garden. Particularly good is it for the edges of beds of sub-tropical plants, such as can- nas and caladiums. P. longistylum is the species mostly grown. Sow the seed thinly in shallow flats. When an inch high prick out into other flats and later pot into 3-inch. From the first of May a cold frame is the best place for them. Sow at once. In connection with this plant some one ought to encourage the use of ornamental grasses, for they are, if tastefully ar- ranged, capable of making a most beau- tiful group. If you could see during the summer but one flower bed, either flowering or foliage, and had to look at it often I should for mine have such a bed of grasses as the Henry A. Dreer Co. planted at the Pan American. There was the arundo, plain and variegated; eulalia in variety, some other grasses I don't call to mind, and edged with the beautiful pennisetum. Cannas. It is time now to get up and divide the canna roots. In cutting up the roots discard any piece that is unsound. Any piece that shows one or, better still, two eyes will make a fine plant by bed- ding time. Spread an inch of sphagnum moss or coeoanut fibre on a bench in a warm house — 'better still if there is a heating pipe beneath it — and lay the roots on this and cover them very light- ly with the same material. When the growth is four or five inches high they should be lifted and potted, for they will also have made good active roots. Perhaps, and most likely, you will not be able to pot them all at once, for they do not all start at once, but you will be saved the labor and expense of pot- ting those roots that from some cause or other do not start at all. Pot them from the bench into 4-inch pots and that will do them until they are sold. We have often bought cannas about the first of June that were drawn up, weak things that looked as if they had been subjected to the treatment of Jan- uary tulips. This is not right. They should from their very start have the fullest light and when planted out be strong, stocky plants that sun and wind won't hurt. They occupy the benches less than two months, demand no more space than a well grown 4-inch ger- anium, but we get considerably more for them and we should give our customers good plants. I am not going to say anything about varieties, for they are too numerous and several good old standard sorts are not yet played out. What we want for bed- ding is, first, free flowering, second, erect strong flower stems, and, third, a distinct, decided color. The Gloxinia. The first contribution the writer of- fered years ago to horticultural readers was on this beautiful summer-flowering plant of no use except for the conserva- tory or window of a dwelling house but for that purpose most admirable. Some- how I never grew this plant better, or as well as we did some fifteen years ago, but I retained recollections of how it was done in the days when we first as- sumed pants. We put the bulbs in 3-inch pots, now or perhaps a little later, in light soil and one-third rotten refuse hops (leaf- mold is just as good) and after the first watering kept, them rather dry until the leaves appeared. When the leaves had overlapped the pots they were shifted into 5-inch and some of the strongest into 6-inch. The shifting must be done carefully or the brittle leaves will break. The pots were drained an inch or so. The soil was three parts loam, not sifted, one part old, well-rotted manure and one part of the hops. The pots were ele- vated on an inverted 5-inch pot and Icept far enough apart so that we could water each plant without wetting the leaves, spreading them wider apart as they grew. We watered with a can because * * they only want watering when they want it." They were shaded "with cheese-cloth, which was removed when the sun was not on them. We saw no rust that summer because they had careful at- tention to their needs and that is about all there is in the successful culture of any plant. They are rather common now in our town. The chief value of them is that they are a splendid plant for a room and will develop all their foxglove-like flow- ers. The dry air of a dwelling seems to suit them. Pelargoniums. A week or so ago in some remarks on the show pelargonium I said "they were wintered in 3-inch pots." Some- body blundered, either the man at the machine or my pencil. Of course, I meant to say a 4-ineh. William Scott. SMILAX, Should smilax roots be lifted from the beds and divided each year? How soon after cutting the vines will it do to lift them? How should they be eareil for during the resting period? A. M. B. It is not profitable to lift and divide smilax roots, such divisions being far inferior to young seedling plants. The method favored by the most successful growers of this useful plant is that of sowing the seeds in flats or pans in Feb- ruary or early March, and as soon as the seedlings are large enough to be handled to pot them off into 2-inch pots, in which they may remain until some tinie in May and then be repotted into 3-inch pots, this practice giving sturdy and well rooted plants in readiness ' for planting in the bed in July. With proper care and a night tem- perature of 60 degrees throughout the winter such a bed should furnish three or four crops of smilax in the season, providing that the bed has been filled with six to eight inches of good soil at the start, and also been given a light top dressing of soil and manure between the crops. Some growers do run a smilax bed for two or three seasons, and in that case the roots are rested by keeping them i ■■-'• , Mabch 9, 1905.

At the conclusion of the resting period all weeds and dead growths are removed, and the bed given a good top dressing of manure or manure and soil in equal parts, and the amount of water gradually increased as the plants start into growth, the strings hav- ing been replaced at the time the bed was cleaned up. During the summer months there is always some risk of an attack of red spider or thrips on the smilax and thor- ough syringing is required to keep these pests in subjection. W. H. Taplin. LYCASTE SKINNERL The accompanying illustration is repro- duced from a photograph of a plant flowering at the greenhouses of H. G. Selfridge, Lake Geneva, Wis., whose head gardener, C. H. Gebhardt, supplies the following descriptive and cultural note: "Lycaste Skinneri, from Guatemala, is one of the easiest of orchids to grow, very free flowering, and a fine ornamen- tal plant. It has oblong pseudo-bulbs, oblong, lanceolate, membraneous plaited leaves and single-flowered, radical scapes. The flowers are large, five to seven inches across, and of waxy texture, the sepals oblong, spreading, blush white. The petals are half the length, ovate, erect over the column, with the tips reflexed, more or less tinted with rose. The lip is three-lobed, the middle lobe round- ish, white, spotted with deep rose, some- times crimson. It blooms during the winter months, keeping for a long time. This plant should be in every collection, as it is one of the finest for winter blooming and I think good for any flo- rist, as we have also some pure white varieties. ' ' We keep them in our Mexican house, which we keep at a night temperature of from 50 to 55 degrees and 10 degrees higher in bright weather. We pot them in fern roots, a little moss and a little chopped sod, with plenty of drainage and give a liberal supply of water during the growing season. They are easily propa- gated by division after flowering and these plants will stand for a long time in flower in a dwelling room without the slightest injury arising therefrom, which we cannot say of other orchids, so this would be an ideal plant for a com- mercial florist for a high class trade."

Sowing the Seed. Aster seed should be sown from March 1 till the end of May, at intervals of two weeks, if you want a continuous crop and variety. The varieties, how- ever, differ greatly in their time of flowering. For instance, if you were to sow Boston Market, Truffaut's Peony Flowered and Semple's Branching all on March 15 and treat them alike you would have in bloom, first, the Boston Market, three weeks later the Peony Flowered and in another three weeks the Semple's. The white Boston Market is very useful, because it gives you flowers juat when there are no carna- tions. Yet the later you can pick good asters the better price you can get. We usually firet a killing frost about the end of September or the flrst week of Oc- tober, so that a crop not cut by that time is lost and you must be guided by your climate in this respect. We use flats of convenient size, say 24x12x2 inches for starting the seed. Fill the flats with light loam, press the sur- face even and rather firmlv, then water enough to wet the soil thoroughly. When soaked away the surface of the soil is not wet enough to be sticky. Sow the seed thinly and nress it lightly into the soil. Then sift over the surface enough soil to cover the seed. If the Feed is out of sight the coverine is thick enough and the slightest sprinkling of water is suflScient. A temperature of 50 degrees is about right. As soon as the third or character leaf is developed, transplant into similar flats of three inches depth and give them the full Hgrht. Put the seedlings about one and a half inches apart. Get the roots down straight in the hole you have made for them with you* wooden dibble and be sure you get the seed leaves almost rest- ing on the surface of the soil. It may seem to you that the little soft Stem is being buried deeply. That won't hurt. Keep them down. Now, if you are going into asters by the acre, all this can be done by using the benches instead of flats and after the first of May a cold frame will answer the purpose. The flats we prefer for all March sowings, as we can set them out of doors in May and hard- en off the plants before planting. Planting in the Field. The time of planting must be i^oV^ erned by your climate and if you are in no danger of getting a frost, say, after May 15, then plant the earliest crop and after that you can plant at in- tervals until the end of June. For the early, small growing varieties you can set them twelve inches between the plants and fifteen inches between rows, but the stronger growing varieties neetl eighteen inches each way. We have tried less room and found it poor econ- omy. Also leave a space of two feet after every fourth row. You will weil that to walk through and pick the flow- ers. Character of Soil. I should be inclined to say that tex- ture of soil is not of material importance providing it has plenty of manure and water can be applied. We have seen fine asters grown in everything from a light gravelly loam to pretty stiff clay. Perhaps the finest produced in this lo- cality are on a heavy yellow loam. It is almost impossible within reason to give the soil too much animal manure and if there is any crop would well repay sub-plowing the land, it is asters. In or- dinary summers you cannot get along without watering. Water is the life of them. More than one fine field of Sem- ple's Branching aster we have seen be- come worthless because it did not rain a drop in the month of August. A thorough soaking once a week in dry spells is the all-important feature in producing fine fiowers. Cutting and Snipping. There is no disbudding needed witb *•■■ i- '' ■':' ■'■■ ■■ ■■■'■' ."' -■>•;■ dSi The Weekly Florists' Review* Mabch 9, 190S. asters and all there is done by some growers is to pinch out the leading growth, or rather just the top of the center growth. It encourages the side shoots, which is the crop, both in quan- tity and quality. The florwers should be cut with all the stem you can get, .iust as soon as they are fully developed. For shipping to market the flowers are usually tied in bunches of twenty-five, laid in a long box and if large, fine flowers they de- serve only to be laid in one tier of bunch- es, but more often they are shipped in two layers. Asters ship well and keep their form. In concluding this monograph on the aster I can only add that you may be disappointed because your product will not resemble the magnificent flowers that are pictured in the illustrated colored catalogues of Iifessrs. Art, Pigment & Co. Yet don'j; always blame the seeds- man. They have paid high for art- ists to create these gorgeous monstros- ities. By faithful care and attention (more than art or science) you may pro- duce blooms that will delight and bring shekels to your pocket. When you see a flower of good size, form and color, save it for seed and in a few years, with careful selection, you will have a strain of your own. William Scott. THE BEST MUMS IN ENGLAND. A recent number of the Gardeners' Magazine, an English publication, con- tains an interesting article by the vet- eran grower, E. Molyneux, with a list of twenty-four varieties of Japanese chtys- anthemums, which he considers the best in cultivation in England. The list is as follows: F. S. Vallis, canary yel- low; Bessie Godfrey, canary yellow; Mrs. F. W. Vallis, crimson, shaded apri- cot; Duchess of Sutherland, orange yel- low; W. R. Church, rosy crimson, bronze reverse; Mme. Paola Eadaelli, rose and white; Elsie Fulton, white; Mrs. G. Mileham, pink; Henry Perkins, bronzy crimson; Maf eking Hero, bronze; Lady Conyers, rosy pink; General Hutton, yellow shaded bronzy red; M. C. Nagel- mackers, white ; J. R. Upton, golden yel- low; Miss Olive Miller, pink; George Lawrence, golden bronze; W. A. Eth- erington, silvery mauve; Chrysanthemiste Montigny, straw yellow; Miss Stopford, creamy white; J. H. Silsbuiy, terra cot- ta shading to yellow; President Viger, light pink; W. Duckham. pink; Edith Shrimpton, white; Henry Stowe, blush pink. This list may be said to be entirely free from any bias of trade influence and most likely represents the careful summary of the writer's notes and ob- servations of the fall shows, and a little review of the varieties with their beha- vior here is interesting by way of com- parison. The system of showing over there, which is almost exclusively on boards, makes considerable difference, since no matter how long and bare the neck or weak the stem, it is immaterial if the flower has size. Here, of course, our system is different. The . flowers are set up mostly on long stems in vases and stem and foliage count for much, some- times even, I think, a little too much, since the flower is really the "para- mount issue." The two first varieties, F. S. Vallis and Bessie Godfrey, are both fine here, particularly for the short vase classes, but most growers here will concede the palm for yellows to Col. Appleton and Mrs. E. Thirkell as being deeper in color and having better stem and foli- age. F. S. Vallis is probably the larg- est variety in cultivation today, but the stem is weak. The third best on the list, Mrs. F. W. Vallis, did not show up with us last year as we had hoped. The color was exquisitely beautiful on second crown buds, but size was lacking and many blooms showed an eye. A much finer crimson with us was Maynell, which did not manage to secure a place on Mr. Molyneux 's roll of honor. Duchess of Sutherland I am not ac- quainted with but W. R. Church has done finely. This variety is firmly es- tablished now as one of the standard varieties with us. Mme. Paola Eadaelli has not '^caught on" and the color is one which the American cultivator passes over with- out a second glance, being neither pink nor white, but of the character gener- ally described as "washy." Miss Elsie Fulton was a sad disap- pointment for us. I have spoken before in these columns, I think, of this va- riety. Many letters from the other side eulogized Elsie and we know how fine she grows there, but, alas, our stren- uous climate upset her equilibrium en- tirely and sorrow is our portion. She was in flower by October 1 and show- ing an eye several inches across; in fact, many buds seemed to be all eye, with merely a fringe of petals around it. Mrs. G. Milehanf is very good here generally, though not one of the eas- iest to grow and since W. Duckham was introduced has fallen from popular favor since the latter variety is a grand grower and gives a muclf larger flower with practically the same color. Henry Perkins is so far a novelty here and has not yet been distributed gen- erally, but I like the color very much myself. Mafeking Hero and Lady Conyers have neither of them shown any quali- ties entitling them to serious considera- tion here. Neither has Mme. C. Nagel- mackers. but General Hutton was a much admired flower last fall. A grand growth, stiff stent and a perfect flower combined to make this a splendid vari- ety, though unfortunately one cannot enter it in a class calling for a fixed number of yellows, since the bronzy shading kills it as a pure yellow and either Thirkell or Appleton would beat it. Miss Olive Miller is far too early here for exhibition, though a beautiful thing and will probably fall into line as a fine early pink commercially. W. A. Etherington has shown up Splen- didly and should be grown by every one. While the color Is somewhat light and on that account needs to be care- fully placed in a collection of varieties when being staged, it is a very fine va- riety. Chrysanthemiste Montigny is in the novelty list here, as is also J. H. Sils- bury and another year must elapse be- fore one can judge them impartially. W. Duckham is now well known and needs no further comment here. It is Al in its color. The two last named varieties I am not acquainted with. The noted French raiser, M. Calvat, is well represented, with F. S. Vallis, Mme. C. Nagelmackers and Chrysanthe- miste Montigny. He has given to the world many grand varieties and alsc^ unfortunately, a host of poor ones. Sqjsk seven of the list are Australians, nota- bly W. Duckham, W. R. Church and W. A. Etherington, and I am inclined to think that a list compiled here of the twenty-four best would show a much larger percentage even than that. Amer- ica does not seem to be represented by a single variety, though, as we know, several American varieties are standard commercial sorts over there. The list shows fairly well the cos- mopolitan character of the present day mum and if a few varieties from Japan were included in the list the chain would be complete. Charles H. Tottt. RETURNING CONDENSATION. I notice an article in the Review of February 9, headed "Returning Con- densation," in which it is apparent that the writer is surprised that high pressure and an automatic pump are not recom- mended to those who want the best sys- tem. I am surprised, after my expe- rience with this system of heating, that anyone having experience should recom- mend it. I first built two houses, each 150 feet long, and put the boiler down in a pit twelve feet deep, on a system recommend- ed to me, the gravity system. I found that one-third of the pipes were always cold. The steam condensed in the pipes and water accumulated. The steam in the boiler prevented the water from re- turning until a large quantity accumu- lated, so that the weight of the water was heavy enough to overcome the steam pressure. Then I changed from this system to a trap system. This was twenty years ago. That trap was so complicated that it was constantly out of order and I had fre- quently to get up in the night to repair it. The parts were so small that any little dirt that got in would clog it. From this I changed to the pump sys- tem. At that time the automatic re- ceiver on the pump was not yet in exist- ence. I got one of the best steam-fltters to make for me a receiver, put a float in and attached the pump. The receiver he made was 3x6 feet, holding flve or six barrels of water, so I was pumping cold water back into the boilers. This was not satisfactorv and I was on the look- out for something else. "ppi^iipipvm^np 'spppfBlf^ 1 4^. l.iilJiifPJl,"^.!. wmf' Mabch 9, 1905. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 883 Stairway Decoration by Ellison Floral G>n St. Louis. I found a trap that was guaranteed to be satisfactory. I have used this for the last five years and would not be without it. It has worked for six months at a time without any attention. We return to the boiler without any pump, and without any air cocks: the tjap takes 2are of tue whole thing. We use what some would call high pressure, but it is Duly from twenty to thirty pounds. With this pressure we have every pipe in the iouse of equal heat, the returns being as hot as the flow, 900 feet from the boiler. We use twelve 1-inch pipes in a house 28x300, all flows, and eight 1-inch pipes in a 20-foot house. Each pipe is con- trolled by a valve. We can use all flows, one or twelve. We heat from the center of a 300-foot house, the pipes running each way, returns across each end re- turning to the boiler, these returns across the ends being the only returns. A check valve is used at the end of every 1-inch pipe before it enters the return, so that we do not have to open and close valves in the returns; all we have to do is to open and close the valve in the center walk. Some claim that high pressure will not grow good flowers, but we find we can grow as good stock in one end of the house as in the other, and we do not find one end cold and another hot. With low pressure the farther ends of the pipes are always colder than the flows, or those near the boiler, while with high pressure the water comes back to the boiler at nearly boiling heat, requiring but little fire to convert it into steam again. With the trap system you do not have the expense of running a pump and keeping it in repair. Further, we do not require a boiler pit, as the boiler will work just as well on top of the ground as in a cellar. "The proof of the pudding is in the eating." The following well known firms, some of the largest in the country, have tried all systems and are now using the traps. Our concern has 250,000 feet of glass, but the system will work just as well on*a small plant if no more than 1,000 feet of glass. Peter Eeinberg changed from pumps to traps and was pleased. Bassett & Washburn have let a contract for a new place, all traps. Breitmeyer's Sons, at Mt. Clemens, were twenty-five feet below the surface with their boilers but have changed to traps. The J. D. Thompson Co., Joliet, put in a pump system at large expense, used it two years and changed to this system, and would not change back under any consideration. Around Cleveland nearly all the florists are using traps. This article is not written to advertise any trap. It is simply to help anyone and everyone to get the best system without a lot of expensive experiments. J. M. Gasser. GERANIUMS AND CINERARIAS. Please inform me how to treat youug geraniums so as to make them grow fast and to make them bloom. Mine look healthy, but do not grow as fast as they should, and do not bloom freely. Also tell me if cinerarias can be had to bloom in summer. If so, when should I plant seed? M. W. At this season zonal geraniums should be in 3-inch pots and if you want them to grow fast give them 50 degrees at night and always the fullest light. A dark house or shade is most unsuitable. A rather heavy loam and potted quite firmly is much more conducive to fiower than a light, rich soil and loosely potted. For bedding purposes you do not want them showing flower just now. Ours were either pinched or a cutting taken off about February 1 and are now mak- ing side growths. When we shift from 3-inch to 4-inch pots the end of March we use bone meal in the soil, rather than any animal manure, the latter making leaf growth. Use a heavy loam, a lib- eral amount of bone meal, pot firmly and give all the light possible and these geraniums must flower. Cinerarias are not desirable after the end of May. They are useless out of doors for any purpose. By sowing seeds in November and keeping very cool and light you could have them in bloom in June or perhaps July, but ' ' what 's the uset" For Christmas flowering sow in April or May and summer over in cold frames. For March and April flowering sow in September. W. S. A SCOTCH MARINE BOILER. Would it be feasible to take an in- ternally fired tubular boiler of the Scotch marine pattern, turn it upside down and set it in brickwork as shown in the Review for February 16? I have a boiler of that character forty-three inches wide and fifty inches long. The grate area is 21x42 inches and on each side are fourteen 2i^-ineh flues. Jf I turned it over I could make the grate the full size of the boiler if necessary, firing underneath instead of internally. I am using the boiler for hot water. Van. It will certainly not be practicable to turn the boiler bottom side up and use it for either steam or hot water heating with setting similar to that described in the Eeview of ±'ebruary 16. The pres- ent arrangement is the most economical and most nearly perfect type of construc- tion. It brings a greater amount of lieating surface in contact with highly heated gases than .is the case with the regularly constructed return tube bailer. I doubt if the small flues would be of much value if the boiler were to be set as a return tube boiler with one Cl- inch flue. This would be large onough to carry a great percentage of the gases from the fire-box to the stiuk ami the twenty -eight 2%-incli flues would lose a great percentage of their eflBciency, with the result that the efficiency of the boiler might in reality be diminished, while the actual heating surface had been increased by one-half the surface of the shell of the boiler. While it is possible that the heating capacity of the boiler might be slightly increased by this change in setting, the increased heating area would be about twenty-five square feet and if the added area were to be fully efficient the added Decoration by T. P. Langhans, Pittsburg, Pa. ■ V.rV.^iv'^V. 884 The Weekly Flori$ts^ Review* March 9, 190Bi radiation which the boiler would carry would be about 200 square feet. The question is: Can you afford the expense of changing the setting for this possi- ble increase in efficiency; can you not get the additional heating capacity in a cheaper way? If the relation of the 214-ineh tubes to the 21-inch flue is 8uch that a double return tubular boiler could be arranged, then there could be . no question as to the superiority of such _ setting.

C.'^C.^ PREPARE SOIL EARLY. As soon as the frost is out of the ground the collection and preparation of soil for summer planting should be com- menced. In the selection of rose soils for use on the benches some study and knowledge of the quality required is necessary and too much thought and care cannot be bestowed on this ques- tion. Although fair roses may be pro- duced from inferior soils, the care, skill and trouble required to do so will more than offset the work of selecting a good quality of soil for composting now and the results will in every case be in favor of the judicious selection. The kind of soil most favored by growers is a good, friable loam contain- ing a good percentage of clay and taken from the top spit of old pasture land. This should be put into a neat pile on ground a little higher than the surround- ing surface, so that the bottom may not get sour. When piling it, the necessary quantity of manure should be added. If the soil is of good quality, and the manure of the right kind, the proportion should be one of manure to four of soil. ~ Manure from the cow barn in a half decomposed condition, if the compost is made early enough in the season to allow time for perfect decomposition before planting time, is about the best and safest that can be used. Of course there are many qualities even of cow manure, the quality of the feeding material regulating the quality and richness of the manure. Where the feed is g*-ain and hay the quality is the very best but if the grain has first l^assed through the brewery the manure is rank poison to roses, so be careful to use no manure from such a source. There is also quite a difference in the way manure has been cared for, the best quality being that which has been kept under cover and not subjected to rains, which wash all the real nutritive properties out of it, leaving nothing but refuse. After the pile has been allowed to stand two or three weeks it should be chopped in pieces not over-fine and the sod and manure thoroughly incorpo- rated. To get the elements properly cixed, and to prevent weeds from grow- ing, the pile should be turned over every two weeks and this should always be done during bright weather, to prevent caking and to make it mellow. When soil is handled in this manner it is a pleasure to plant in it and the young stock gets something congenial to i^tart with and the careful observer will note how quickly it responds by going tr- work at once and keeping it up if the soil is kept in good condition by periodical cultivation, judicious water- ing and care in ventilating.

' ' Many readers told us, when they A COIL BOItER. I was much interested in the query and answer in the issue of February 16 with regard to f^ coil boiler. I have heard many floitists belittle that home- made dpyice, but cannot see why. True, you cannot heat a large range of glass with it, but for the small florist it is a boon. I have one myself, made of 2- inch pipe, thirty pieces four and one-half feet long put together with return bends. It works line but I have got to enlarge it to take care of some more glass. This was my own idea and it is all right ex cept that I would like something I could let go from 9 p. m, to 8 a. m. and still have the houses warm. They all tell me to put in 4-inch pine, but that doesn 't quite suit me, for, while it might retain the heat longer, I think the smaller body of water would heat quicker and with less fire. I have found that the smaller the pipes in my coil boiler the hotter the water became. Now, this is what I am going to try for next season. I am going to make coils of .five pieces of 1^4 -inch pipe. These coils I am going to set so that the five pipes will stand one above the other and I am going to arrange ten such coils side by side, one inch apart. Each coil will be independent and supply its own flow and return. At the highest point, at the farthest end of the house, all the coils will be connected with the expan- sion tank by a %-inch pipe. Then, if at any time one of these coils should burst, I would lose only the use of two runs of pipe and could flre away on the oth- ers; with any other boiler, if you get a big leak, you might as well go "away back and sit down ! ' ' All this will cost including everything will be about $50 and I don't think it will be a coal eat- er, as some call them, for the grate arer needed will be small and the coils will get the full benefit of all the fire.

The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 885 View in the Store of McAd^m & Cowell, Fort Wortii, Texas. A SHIPPER'S VERSION. A great deal has been heard from the man who rj^ceives a box of cut flow- ers which, for one reason or another, do not come up to his anticipations. The following is one shipper's view of the other side of the story: "It may be well at this time to say a few words about the relation between the wholesaler and retailer, or shipper and buyer. The retailer from the city of B wires in his order, but does not say whether first or second train will do. He simply takes it for granted that the wholesaler has his ice box full of all kinds of stock, waiting for orders to come in. He forgets that stock is scarce and that home buyers are hust- ling around and picking up anything that is scarce and in order to get it pay the top-notch price, in many cases paying 2 to 4 cents apiece more than the wholesaler dare charge on a ship- ping order. At that, nine times out of ten the party they are shipped to feels that he was charged too high and pro- ceeds to WTite to the shipper and com- plain about the price. It makes it ef- fective to say the roses were poor and not worth half the price charged. Let us look at the other side. The ship- per had the opportunity to sell these roses at home, as I said before, for, say, 2 cents each more, but not to disap- point the customer who depends on get- tinp his order filled, he docs not sell them to the home customer. He goes to the extra trouble to pack and box them and thinks he has made friends by filling the order as best he can, as he feels that wnen a customer wires for stock he must have an order for it and to not get it would be a great dis- appointment. Therefore the whole- saler makes every effort to fill the order, and I know numerous incidents where the wholesaler bought the stock and billed it out at a loss in order not to have his customer think that he was 'robbed.' This often happens when flow- ers are scarce and the price suddenly takes a jump. Can we charge this raise to our shipping customers? No. they won't stand for it, but our home cus- tomers must pay the price notwith. standing. "I find that those who do the most 'kicking' on price are those who order only occasionally, when stock is scarce and they have none themselves and their home supply is short. I think on a whole the outside trade gets the best of the deal all the time. When stock is scarce the wholesaler 'breaks his neck' to get the stock td fill the orders. Does he do this for his home trade? Oh, no! If he has not the stock he tells them so and that ends it. The would-be buyer looks further. "Then, again, there are customers who" make a point df kicking. To get a rebate they write^ you that the stock came in such a condition that they could not use it. How does it happen? I, from Chicago, send 100 carnations to Texas, and the same to Minnesota; same carnations, equally fresh, packed and shipped at the same time. Note the difference in the distance of ship- ments. ' Thie Texas party . writes back that he received the stock in fine condi- tion. The Minnesota man says it was the worst stock he ever reeeivedj he had to throw them out. What do you thiVik of that? Is it a square deal? I don't think so. Why doesn't that party send them back on the next train? Any wholesaler would willingly pay the re- turn charges, because he would feel sat- isfied that he was not 'worked.' "There is a^so another kind of 'work- er.' His game is to refuse a C. O. D., stating that the goods were late in ar- riving, an hour or two, as the case may be. The agent is instructed either to release or sell to best advantage. The wholesaler in many cases gets a bill from the express company for charges. I have adopted a new plan. I wire the agent to return the box on the next train, it makes no difference from what distance. In no case yet did I not come out 'ahead of the gdme,' both in satis- faction and money. If this were done by all wholesalers, this practice would stop, to the benefit of all concerned. "It ought also to be understood that the wholesaler's responsibility ends aft- er the goods are delivered to the ex- press company. We cannot agree to de- liver them in another city at any cer- tain time. We deliver to the express company in time tor a certain train, which should, barring accident, reach the destination in time. But if trains are snow-bound or the engine breaks down, or any other of the many un- avoidable accidents occur, should the wholesaler be held responsible? I say, no, and we are not, either morally or legally. "But if it can be shown that, on ac- count of carelessness of the express company the goods were delayed, we can by request from our customer, if a loss to him resulted, help him make a com- plaint and file a claim for such loss to be adjusted by them. In any case, cost or not, the goods ought to be accepted by the consignee, making note on the company's book of the delay and time of delivery as a protest. The whole- saler would then proceed to assist to get the company to stand the loss. I think that every wholesaler would make every effort to push the claim for his customer. "The writer received a telegram for a large shipment of flowers during the heavy snow storm. All trains were late, in and oyt. The express company would only accept the shipment subject to delay. Tliis party wanted to know the exact time the stock would reach him. You might guess my answer. Un- der the most favorable circumstances this could not be promised with safety. The order was not filled. "Another practice the wholesaler lias to submit to, which should be stopped is in a case like this: A wholesaler gets an order. He can't fill it because stock is not to be had or because the order came in too late for the train mentioned. He wires his customer that the order cannot be filled. The cus- tomer reads the telegram, then refuses to pay the charges, which the whole- saler has to pay. Such people ought never to receive another reply, but be made to await the disappoiptment when ^••. ' ■,■■(1 ''■-up sales are made at very low prices. Such sorts as Sport com- mand small figures in the beguining. Beceipts of callas have increased ma- terially and there is a bad glut in this department. Harrisii are not so numer- ous. Wild smilax is again coming into the market. There is a good demand for greenhouse smilax, but all orders can be filled. There are ample supplies of asparagus and Sprengeri is selling so cheaply that plantings of it will be somewhat reduced for next season. Local trade was fair the last week of the "social season" and shipping trade good but New Orleans did not take so much stock for Mardi Qras as in recent years. Lent began yesterday but it has had little effect the past few years and is not feared as it once was. Too Many Carnations. With the street fakirs already han- dling a large part of the receipts of carnations, it is to some discouraging news that production is again to be largely increased next season. Not only will the season's building add consid- erably to the glass devoted to the car- nation, but the Weber and Bistow places heretofore in roses will be turned over to carnations. Payne, at Hinsdale, who never grew carnations will plant 10,000 to 15,000 square feet of glass with them, and there are others. It looks to the pessimist as though the market might be overdone, but doubtless all will find an outlet then as now. Long Distance Violets. Up to last season practically all the Bhinebeck and Poughkeepsie violets were sold" and used in New York. Last win- ter several millions were shipped to Chi- cago, but it has remained for this sea- son to see the distribution carried still farther. Chicago has shipped other flowers to New Orleans, Texas, the west and northwest for years but violets have not figured in the shipping business. Now, however, the wholesalers, always awake to the possibilities, have standing orders for regular shipments of Hud- son river violets to customers as far away as the market reaches. Poughkeep- sie violets are 2,000 miles from home in New Orleans. At Hinsdale. One of the season's improvements at Bassett & Washburn's is the consolida- tion of several separate heating plants into one central station, containing ten 150 horse-power boilers. The new stack will have a flue seven feet six inches in diameter and will be 150 feet high. Standing on top of a hill it will be quite a landmark. Across the drive will be a shed capable of storing 4,000 tons of coal. Six new houses, each 576 feet long, are now being built. Tne iron gutters are up. Vaiiout Notes.

He says bulbous stock and in fact all receipts are of unusually good quality just now. He has a big cut of smilax ready. C. W. McKellar has been getting in very nice gardenias from the east. The George Wittbold Co, had one great object in view when they built the new range at Edgebrook a few years ago, and that was to get space to grow on stock to the larger sizes. It was slow work, even with increased glass, for their trade has increased steadily, but they have at length succeeded in getting up a satisfactory stock in decorative sizes, something which has not heretofore ex- isted in the west. They are particularly strong on large kentias. The E. F. Winterson Co. reports last Saturday's receipts of violets to have totaled 85,000. They have been getting regular shipments of orange blossoms. A discussion of corncob pipes has been arranged for tonight's club meeting. Peter Eeinberg, P. J. Hauswirth and George Asmus were in the party which went to Springfield last week. Mrs. Leonard Kill, who has been ill for many weeks, is now convalescing slowly. J. A. Budlong, who had a big crop of fine mums last year, will not plant any this spring, the intention being to give the^ additional space to Beauties, with which they have done especially well this season. The house of E. H. Hunt says in its weekly review of the market "Outside trade continues fair. Qty trade is somewhat improved but not so much but that we could stand more. The street men are busy at last; they have got their inning, and are making the best of it." E. E. Pieser, of Kennicott Bros.

Ainsworthi roseum and honorable mention to D. Euryalus and D. Dominii. W. N. Craig showed several baskets of Phalaenopsis Schilleriana, also the variety Schilleriana Curnowiana and Stu- artiana. These received a certificate for superior culture. The same exhibitor had the true Cattleya TriansB alba, Miltonia Bleuana virginalis with five spikes, which received a certificate of merit, and the rare and beautiful Odontoglossum "Wilck- eanum albeus with two spikes. The following notice has been sent to a large number of prospective exhibi- tors and the attention of all intending exhibitors is directed to the same: "On account of the great demand for space at the spring exhibition of the Massa- chusetts Horticultural Society and the annual exhibition of the American Eose Society scheduled for March 23 to 26, 1905, intending exhibitors are advised to file their entries at least one week prior to the ooening of the exhibition. Pref- erence will be given to such entries if the conditions require it." New prizes still continue to come in for th6 rose exhibition. The Pierson- Sefton Co. offers a cup valued at $50 for the best fifty blooms of teas or hy- brid teas, not over three varieties. Welch Bros, will give a prize of $25 for the best vase of roses in the show, in addition to any other prizes it may have won. The committee on exhibitions has just purchased a large number of additional clear glass vases for staging roses and carnations. Work on the decoration of the main exhibition hall will start this week. The executive committee of the Gar- deners ' and Florists ' Club met on March 6 to perfect arrangements for the re- ception of visiting members of the Eose Society. Entries from Pennsylvania ana New York are already received. A first-class show is assured. We earnestly hope our western rose growers will come on with exhibits and help to make this a truly national meeting, more especially as the society will probably vote to meet in Chicago in 1906. Various Notes. The garden committee of the Horti- cultural Society visited the greenhouses of Geo. F. Fabyan. in Brookline, on March 7, to inspect his batches of beauti- fully grown cyclamens, cinerarias, cal- ceolarias and "other plants, many of which will be seen at the coming exhibi- tion. Jamea Stuart, the gardener in charge, had everything in fine shape. The weather continues very cold in this section. With the exception of the win- ter of 1903-4 the present one is the coldest for over thirty-five years. The mean temperature for December, Jan- uary and February averaged four-tenths of a degree higher than a year ago. While we have had fewer abnormally low temperatures, the cold has been steadier than 1903-4. A good many florists say their coal consumption will be heav- ier this winter than last. Anthony Hannah, of Holbrook. is car- rying his arm in a sling as a result of a recent sleigh accident. Blooms of Cardinal carnation exhib- ited in Boston at the club meeting on Februarv 21 were still in good condition on March 3, which speaks well for the keeping qualities of this variety. Indi- cations point to a remarkably fine show of carnations at the coming exhibition, including many of the novelties. Some nicely flowered schizanthus were noticed in some of the stores the past week. Betailers are just beginning to appreciate the value of this plant for decorative purposes. Carbone, on Boylston street, keeps one of the most attractive stores in Boston. Orchids are made quite a feature here and an increasing call is noted for them. Other flowers not often seen in the mark- ets are handled here. / W. E. Glidden was married to Miss Corey, of Newtonville,, on March 8. Mr. Glidden has just recovered from an attack of typhoid fever. Galvin has been showing a quantity of nice Odontoglossum Eossii and Dendrob- ium nobile the past week. We are glad to report that John Walsh has recovered from his recent sickness and is back once more at hia own stand. The growers are now busy figuring on Easter stock. There is likely to be plen- ty of everything but violets. The ex- tremely late date will make the latter scarce, but one or two large growers expect to have a fair supply. ■Kenneth Finlayson spoke on "Hints on Greenhouse Management" before the North Shore Horticultural Society on March 3.

It is ru- mored Mr. Slinn's next partner will come from above, one of the members of the Cut Flowd- Exchange on the third floor having aspirations in the whole- sale line. The sales of plants at the market will commence in a week or ten days at the STANDARD SIZES OF PLANTS. I see in a recent issue that a discus- sion is invited as to standard sizes of plants. I think it very difficult to set a rule as to certain measurements for plants as no scale would be acceptable in all parts of the country. A plant should be well established in a standard size of pot, ready for a shift; it should be clean and healthy and well grown according to variety. E. R.

The Market There has been quite a slump in the cut flower trade the past week, owing to the scarcity of decorations, and prices have faJlen oflP considerably. Bulbous stock, sweet peas, migonette and violets are a glut on the market. Good roses have not been over plentiful, but quan- tities of short Beauties and Maids are to be had at your own price. Quantities of fancy carnations are arriving which are sold at low prices. Death of C T. Siebert. C. T. Siebert, one of the oldest and best known florists of this section, died Tuesday, March 7, at 4 a. m. Mr. Sie- bett had been in poor health for several years, but still continued his business, greenhouses on Stanton avenue and stand in the Liberty Market, and was just completing a handsome building with conservatory attached in the fash- ionable part of the east end which would have been opened this week. He was admired and loved by all for his kind and lovablef disposition, and one never met him without feeling the better for his cheery laugh. The craft would be honored if it had more such men. Various Notes. Geddis & Blind Bros, had a handsome window Saturday, arranged in green and yellow, which attracted a great deal of attention. Wm. Cromack, of Irwin, Pa., is instal- ling a new tubular boiler at his plant. Blind Brothers are waiting for the weather to open to start on the erection of another greenhouse 20x200. Chas. Peterson, of East Liverpool, Ohio, lost his store in the big fire last week. He has not yet found a new lo- cation, and is doing his work at the greenhouse. J. J. Zimmerman has sold his business on Mt. Washington to G. J. Learzaf and started for Ocean Park, Cal., last Fri- day night. B. L. Elliott and wife will start for Los Angeles, Cal., next Thursday. He may locate there if something good presents itself. Fred Burki met with an accident last week, breaking several ribs. This, with a slight attack of grip, has confined him to his home.

Some four years ago I brought home with me from the Island of Jersey two pink nerines, the true Jersey lily. They came in pots, the bulbs undisturbed. Since then they have grown and multi- plied. Every autumn they have had long, thick stems with six immense and most lovely lilies on each stem. Last month two of the longer bulbs showed second stems of buds, and several of the small- er bulbs had stems of buds, but none of them matured. Can you tell me what is the reason and what I ought to dof They all have greenhouse culture. I have some Japanese peonies for forc- ing, but am in doubt as to how they should be treated, whether after potting they should be kept in a warm, dark place and sprayed every day, as are Jap- anese cherries, etc., or if they should be given light as we treat begonia bulbs. Of course, the peonies are just a root with two little shoots showing and not bushes like the cherries and wisteria. G. L. These bulbs called Guernsey or Jersey lilies are no lily at all. Nerine Samien- sis is the species that grows to perfection in the Channel Islands. They make their growth in winter and flower in the fall, are beautiful and interesting for the amateur, but will not likely ever become popular with the florist. I cannot ac- count for your plants making flower spikes in January. Here, briefly, is what the late John Eobertson, an authority, said of ftiem in the Florists' Keview: "The secret of success with nerines is to secure the fullest possible development of the bulbs. This refers to their win- ter treatment. They enjoy an abundance of water at the roots and overhead, with occasional applications of liquid manure. This treatment should be continued until the leaves turn yellow, which is a sign that the plants are finishing their growth. Then diminish the water supply gradually. Lay the pots on their sides, where they will not get wet, and in full sunlight, so that the bulbs may ripen thoroughly. Nerines do not like to have their roots disturbed and do well with small root room. Three bulbs in a 5-inch pot in fibrous loam and a little sand added will do well for five or six years, as the off- sets can be removed and separately pot- ted, while the old bulbs go on increas- ing in size. As the flower scape appears in the fall, carefully remove an inch of the surface soil and renew with a top dressing and then a thorough watering." It is not likely you will get flowers from the peonies this spring. They want no dark place, merelv put them in full light on a bench in a cool house. Forty- five to 50 degrees at night is sufficient. W. S. We are well pleased with the Review and consder it in a class by itself. — Frank MosMiLLEB, Bichmond, Ya. Seed Trade News.

The San Francisco Chronicle for Feb- ruary 5 devoted the colored page to "Mrs. Theodosia Shepherd, Wizard of Flowers and Creator of New Varieties." W. B. Nightengale, Valley, Neb., has a flne new sweet corn which is re- ported to have large kernels on very small cobs. Several offers are said to have been made for his stock of seed, twenty ears. The Supreme Court of Nebraska has affirmed a decision to the effect that a contract for a crop yet unplanted is not valid. If this is good law a large pro- portion of the contracts made in the seed trade, and a good many other lines, would not hold. The tomatoes packed in Canada last year amounted to 297,750 cases, each of which contained two dozen tins, com- pared with 397,500 cases in the preced- ing year. The United States packed 8,671,053 cases last year as compared with 10,282,309 in 1903. While in 1903 the total exports of seeds* of all classes from the United States were valued at $9,455,283, in 1904 they were valued at only $2,583,- 325. At the same time our total im- ports of seeds increased from $2,831,279 in 1903, to $3,587,469 in 1904. The old case of J. M. Thorbum ft Co. vs. the United States, in the United States Circuit Court has been dismissed. It was an application for a review of a decision of the board of appraisers, ap- pealed December 10, 1890, and related to an importation of bulbs under the tariff act of 1883. Wm. K. Harris bought shamrock seeds at. Belfast, Ireland, and the col- lector of customs at Philadelphia as- sessed duty at thirty percent advalorem. Mr. Harris appealed, contending that the seed was free as grass seed, in par- ticular, clover seed, appealed to the board of appraisers, who adopted his view. That so few seedsmen should have taken advantage of the law permitting the mailing of catalogues without stamps affixed must have convinced the Powers-that-be at Washington of one of two things: Either that the regulations of the Department are too involved, or, more likely, that the privilege is not generally considered so valuable as those who asked it professed.

This is the case in which the Secretary of Agriculture asked the Attorney Gen- eral to intervene on behalf of the United States on the ground that the granting of the injunction would be "a great publics calamity" and would paralyze the distribution of seeds for the re- mainder of the current year. One of the defenses in the case was that an ofScial of the Department of Agriculture, one John Tracy, had himself made the in- vention, involved in the patent granted to Mr. Brown, Tracy also obtained an aflSdavit from a carpenter employed to work in the building that he was ako the inventor of the apparatus. SEED PACKING. Eeferring to a note on packing seeds which appeared on page 834 of the Re- view for March 2, James Carter & Co., the London seedsmen, offer the following on packing seeds for shipment to for- eign countries: We were much surprised to read the follow- ing remark contained In the note contributed by Mr. Watson, where he says: "For seeds gpenerallyi I know of nothing better than paper packets ot calico bags, and the more moUture there 1b In the seeds when thus packed the better. Hermetically sealed tins or bottles should never be used." How far such a re- mark Is applicable to seeds sent through the tropics here we will not argue, but so far as It applies to the majority of English seeds for despatch ebroad we feel we can speak with authority. It having been our privilege for over half a century to conduct an important busi- ness with the Empire of India and our colonies In tropical and sub-tropical climates, and It has been over and over again proven that the ordinaty vegetable and flower seeds will rarely retain their vitality if sent away from here without some special treatment which elimi- nates a larce i)ercentage of the moisture con- tained in them, when harvested naturally in our temperate climate. To overcome this diffi- culty we have for many years not only sub- jected this class of seeds to a special drying process, but enclosed each iwcket In tinfoil, and this again is placed in a hermetically sealed covering from which the air is ex- hansted. We quite agree that roots such as potatoes, artichokes, dahlias, etc., which are principally composed of water, must on no ac- count be put Uftder tin, bnt cannot, understand an authority from Kew applying the same re- strictions to ae^di generally.

NITRATE OF SODA. As 1 am a subscriber to your valuable paper I take the liberty to ask for a lit- tle information concerning the use of nitrate of soda as a fertilizer. Is it valuable for forcing lettuce, cabbage anil cauliflower? In what manner and in what quantity should it be applied? A. M. B. Nitrate of soda is valuable as a fer- tilizer for cabbage and cauliflower, they being strong feeders, but is apt to cause too soft growth in forced let- tuce and induce damping. It is best ap- plied in water at the rate of one ounce to four gallons for general use, but if used on lettuce, about half this quantity would be enough. Nitrate of soda is easily soluble in water, and can be mixed in the watering pot immediately before being used, but when watering with it to any extent it is better to mix in a barrel in the pro- portions above given. Care should be used in applying to get as little on the foliage as possible in case of burning, and the application should not be macfe if the soil is very dry. Should the soil be in this condition it is better to give a good watering and let it stand until next day before making the application. In this way the manure will not only be more beneficial, but there will be less danger of causing injury to the roots. W. S. Croydon. PLANTINGS IN COLD FRAMES. We have just made our last planting of the season in the greenhouse, of lettuce and cauliflower. From this out we will plant both these in cold frames, where they do considerably better than in the greenhouse after the weather gets warm. No matter how carefully airing is attended to the bright sun- shine causes flagging. When the heat of the day is over they stiffen up again but this flagging and stiffening induce toughness in the lettuce and affect both the quality and size of cauliflower. The plants to be set in the frames should be grown on in the greenhouse until large enough for planting. To avoid giving the plants a check it is a good plan to set the seed boxes in the frames for two or three days previous to setting them out. In this way the change will be less severe than if they were planted immediately on removal from the warm greenhouse.

Hunt, 76-78 Wabash Ave., Chicago In preparing the frames for planting we give a good forking up and work in a liberal quantity of well decom- posed barnyard manure, then put on the sashes and keep the frames close for a few days, so that the heat of the sun will warm up the soil. To re- tain as much of this sun heat as pos- sible we cover the frames at night, to prevent frost from penetrating, the weight of covering being regulated ac- cording to the coldness of the weather. This covering we continue for some time after the plants are set. Some nights during mild spells it might be omitted, but it is always safer to cover up. Dur- ing March there is always a tendency to sudden changes and for all the time it takes to throw the mats on at night and off in the morning it is better to be prepared rather than be caught nap- ping. . . , Cold frames require quite a little at- tention in regard to airing. As they con- tain but a small body of air the tem- perature is easily fluctuated. It is a good plan to get on a little air as ear- ly in the morning as the outdoor tem- DANGER! In cheap Med.

The Market. The market was even more crowded the past week than the one previous. The warm weather of late has had a great deal to do with the prevailing conditions. March came in like a lamb, but the weather man predicts that the lion will soon appear. The business, so far as cut flowers are concerned, has been very unsatisfactory. The whole- sale market has been glutted with stock of all kinds and sales were made only when prices were made low enough so that the retailer would buy on specula- tion and make his windows attractive. There are no fixed values. The ques- tion is, "how many can you use and we will make the price right." Special Beauties sell slowly. Shorts are too many for the demand. Brides clean up pretty well, but Maids, Me- teors, Perles and Gates, are slow. There are plenty of these for all de- mands at low prices. Specials, though, run to $8 per hundred. Carnation blooms are in surplus, with fancy stock as low as $2.50 per hundred. Enchantress, Lawson and Prosperity with good long stems sell at these figures. Good com- mon stock is hard to dispose of when fancy stock sells so cheap. Violets are in great demand. Extra fine long Califomias are within reach of all in 1,000 lots; as low as $1.50 per thousand. This is about the only flower handled by the stores and fakirs at present. Lilies are very plentiful and especially callas. They might be called a glut. Harrisii are not so many. The store man with a big funeral order is in clover. Eomans, Von Sions, tulips and other bulbous stock still make gray hairs for the wholesalers. Sweet peas and lilacs are finding little favor from the buyers. Smilax is selling fairly well along with other greens. Varioos Notes. George M.

James reports a fine crop of Harrisii in pots coming on, which should sell well among the retail trade. Henry Ostertag was busy on Saturday canvassing votes at the democratic primaries. He is a candidate for the house of delegates from the Twenty-sec- ond ward. George M. Kessler has a new title now, Director of Eestoration. Mr. Kes- sler has started a big force of men at the World's Fair grounds working at the restoration of Forest Park. Chief Taylor and Supt. Hadkinson are still holding the fort at the World's Fair grounds and will until late in the spring, as many important matters are to be transacted in their department. J. W. Pilcher, of Kirkwood, is cutting extra fancy Enchantress carnations and California violets. E. W. Guy, of Belleville, is sending to Kuehn some well grown bulbous stock of all kinds. Charlie Dauemheim, Jr., of Kimms- wick, is cutting a fancy lot of carna- tion blooms, which are sold in this mar- ket by Berning. George Augermuller, for many years bookkeeper for C A.

Lawson fairly rained in. This carnation 18 being cut in great quantities and the quality is fine. With all the great quan- tities of carnations, white and red were never in excess of the demand. But pink! It was almost a case of take what you could get for them, and some even found their way to the dump. I beheve that the heavy cut will continue through this week, but from the report of various growers, that will be the end of it, and the following week will see things back to normal. With roses it was different. White was scarce, also Golden Gates. Beauties, especially long-stemmed, were not equal to the demand. The fine weather we are having now will undoubtedly increase the cut very shortly. Bulbous stock of all kinds is plenti- ful and sella well. Violets continue coming very heavily. The near approach of Lent does not strike terror into the florist's heart as in years gone by. The past few years have not shown a very great diminu- tion of business during this time. Varioos Notes. The annual carnation show of the ±Jori8ts' Society will come off Saturday March 11, and it will be a great event!

I already have a collection of ninety-one varieties. Frank Stevens Coyote, Cal. BULB STOCK NOT PAYING. Several of our largest growers of har- dy bulbs have made the remark to me that there is no longer any money in growing bulbous flowers for market in this locality. I have visited, in the last ±ew weeks, several of the largest bulb fields in the neighborhood of San Fran- cisco and from the prices that I find the growers are receiving for their stock there is certainly very little to be made at present. There are a good many acres devoted to the culture of narcissi and daffodils and the crops should be remunerative. Paper White narcissus is the only sort grown in quantity and the price has not been pood this season. The growers have received an average of about $7.50 per thousand blooms and there has been some diflScultv in dispos- ing of them even at that price. Of course the bulbs do not need much attention otherwise than giving them a small amount of hoeing during the sea- son and transplanting them every four or five years. Several growers watered their bulbs in July and kept them growing during August and September by the same means and had a good crop of flowers in October and November. These paid very well and were easy to dispose of, but when the bulbs are al- lowed to flower at this season, after the natural rainfall, thev do not begin to bloom freely until December or Janu- ary. This being an unusually mild winter there was no scarcity of flowers of any kind and white narcissi went begging. Several growers have created quite a market for them in our interior and northern towns and considerable of the surplus has been used in this way. With yellow flowered daffodils the price, except for extra early varieties, has also been poor this season, partially because of the extra mild winter and partly because of over production. Doub- le varieties did not pay to pick this sea- son and Trumpet Major at no time dur- ing the crop brought over $5 per thous- and. Princeps, which is really a much better sort, has sold wholesale as high as $10 ner thousand and Sir Watkin, the variety now in full blast, has aver- aged about the same price. The only varieties from which money has been made, as near as I can find out. and one that does well here, is Ard Righ. These were forced into flower without any trouble early in December. This particular grower sold his entire lot at $5 per hundred, with demand for many more than he had. Emperor comes very late in some localities and is better than the early blooming varieties on that ac- count. Golden Spur is also to be com- mended for the same reason. The increase in bulbous stock is so large the past few years that the florists cannot handle them when the conditions are favorable for blooming, such as they have been this winter. With jonquils I have not found a grower who handles 200.000 Carnations. "& '""'' Per 1000 Per 100 Per 1000 110.00 Prea.

Yellow varieties of narcissi did not pay for picking either and a good many growers have plowed their bulbs up. G. SAN FRANCISCO. Tlie Market Warm nights and an abundance of sunshine have brought in a greater pro- fusion of flowers than we generally have at this season of the year. Flowers of all kinds and especially those that do not come under the head of fancy stock, can be had at very low prices. Carna- tions are selling at $1..50 per hundred for the smaller flowered varieties and from that price up to $4 per hundred for fancy stock. Roses are more plen- tiful and the prices are good for long- stemmed stock, but for other grades they do not average over $1 to $1.50 per hundred. Valley is plentiful and is sell- ing at $4 per hundred. Hyacinths and Romans are out of season and a few L. Harrisii are offered. Fruit blossoms are now much in evidence in the stores and quantities are handled by the side- walk merchants also. Violets, owing to the warm spell, give evidence that their season is drawing to a close. They can be bought now at from $2 to $4 per hun- dred bunches. Wild maidenhair has al- most taken the place of the cultivated variety. Various Notes. Mrs. Pouyal, one of San Francisco's pioneer florists, and mother of J.

The Weekly Rorists' Review. 907 BURBANK'S Phenomenal Red Raspberry! THIS IS MR. BURBANK'S L.ATBST BERRY TRIUMPH. He never wants anything to leave bis hand until he has proved its merits. So this was not put upon the market until tested and sealed with approval by Its grreat origi- nator. And from another season's experience with it we are frank to say that as the territory of Its Introductloa and use Is enlarged, it continually grows In favor. It has made for itself, by its Just merits, hosts of new friends within the past year. To see it in its perfection is to desire it. It Is the result of a cross between the "Improved Cali- fornia Dewberry" and the "Cuthbert Raspberry." It takes the color and flavor of the latter and size and shai>e more of the former. Mr. Burbank describes it as "larger than the largest berry ever before known; bright crimson rasp- berry color ; as productive as could be desired, and the most delicious of all berries for pies, canning, jelly or jams." The berries grow in clusters of from five to ten, or more, and individual berries, under favorable conditions, have measured three inches one way by three and one-half to four the other. It's a surprise and delight to people when first seen, being so large and luscious. Mr. Burbank has recently said: "It Is the best berry In the world," and the prophecy of others is that "It is the coming berry of the future." The demand for plants last year far exceeded the supply, and the demand now Is greatly on the increase. This speaks for Itself as to the quality and merits of the berry. It being easily grown and firm, it is a profitable berry for the fruit grower or small rancher to produce for shippingr to home or distant markets. Also, It's no mistake If one has a half dozen plants In the garden or back yard of a town or city residence, for, by their productiveness they prove a delight for the table and yield great returns for the amount invested. We can supply the plants in dozen or thousand lots, as suits the buyer. Warranted HARDY ANYWHEBB. The vines grow as trailers. In field cultivation there are two methods: One Is to set the plants six or seven inches deep, six to eight feet apart In rows eight feet apart. To set In the spring is best, and let them grow until the next spring, but keep the ground well cultivated. Then set stakes twelve to sixteen feet apart and three and one-half or four feet high- Stretch a wire from top of stakes and staple down. Then gather up the vines and loosely twine or tie to the wire and continue cultivation. The other method Is similar; only the plants are set 12 to 16 feet apart. In rows only 4 feet apart. The berries ripen here the last of May and continue until the first of July. After the fruit is gathered, go through and cut out all the old vines and canes, as the new growth at the foot of the hill is the one to put up on the wire the following spring to bear fruit.

Miss Turnbull was 24 years of age. John Young of the Dwight Way Nur- sery, Berkeley, is cutting some extra fine Brides and Maids at present. G. HEATING IN OREGON. We have four three-quarter-span greenhouses running east and west. Three of the houses are on a line, end to end. The boiler shed is at the east end. Then comes a lettuce house, 18x60, then another lettuce house, 18x 60, and then a carnation house, 25x 80, all connected, making the string 200 feet long. Fifteen feet to the north of the middle house is one 33x60, which we wish to use for chrysanthemums followed by lettuce. We want to know how to heat these houses most economically with hot water, using wood for fuel. Could we build a pipe boiler in a brick fur- nace to do the work? It seldom reaches 10 degrees above zero here. H. & F. Xour problem is a diflScult one be- cause of the arrangement of the houses. To place a boiler in the boiler room at the east end it will be diffi- cult to heat the wider house at the far end. It occurs to me that to locate the boiler house between the middle house of the string and the chrysan- themum house would be most advan- tageous if the height of the latter will permit such an arrangement. Flow pipes could then be carried to the two houses 18x60 feet, to the one 25x80 and to the one 33x60, each independ- ently, and in each case the system would not be excessively long. If this cannot be done, a boiler room might be constructed at the west end of the detached house and made to subserve almost the same purpose. The total radiation required in these houses is about 1,400 square feet, which will take a boiler with about 180 feet of heating surface. A pipe boiler can be constructed that will do the work, but it would be wise to make it long and narrow and build it so as to make it a return flue boiler in construction, i. e., place a coil of pipe over the fire and in the chamber to the rear of the fire-box and another parallel coil over it in such a manner as to be parallel with the first, but separated from it by a cast-iron plate or fire brick partition. This is in- tended to carry the heated gases along the water tubes to the rear of the boiler, where they change direc- tion and return to a flue directly over the fire-box. A boiler constructed of 1%-inch pipe will require to be ten feet long, four feet wide and contain eighteen loops of pipe or thirty-six lengths of pipe ten feet long. Such a furnace could be constructed with grate bars long enough to burn 4-foot wood. Another plan would be to use an internally fired return flue boiler. If this type is used the same area of heating surface should be employed. With the boiler located at the west end of the house 33x60 feet, a 2%-inch flow pipe should be carried to the partition between the two let- tuce houses, from which point take off a 2-inch flow to return by eight 1%- inch pipes, four on each side wall or under the side benches. At the east end of the other lettuce compartment divide the 2-inch flow to return by eight 1^-inch returns. The carnation house 25x80 should have a 2% -inch riser supplying twelve 1%-inch re- turns and the chrysanthemum house 33x60 should be provided with a 2-inch riser and thirteen l^-^-inch re- turns. L. C. C. Richmond, iNp. — The B. K. & B.

Flowering plants sold weii, with a steady, healthy demand for cut flow- ers. Xo great splurges, yet a call by the many, and that's nice. Our stores are very gay with azaleas, lilacs, aca- cias and pans of hyacinths, tulips and narcissi. In fact the pan business has been better than any previous year. What a grand narcissus is the Golden Spur, easy to force and as a flower for a vase much prettier than the double Von Sion. Now we have Emperor and Empress, very pretty, but Golden Spur is queen of this class. High quality roses are still quite scarce and even in- ferior flowers all go. There is an abun- dance of carnations, consisting of good, bad and very bad quality. Bulbous stuff is abundant and valley, freesias and other "fixing" in plenty and a good demand for it all. It is only fair to be grateful and just to the weather and let up on growling when we can do so with truth and joy. While our streets are awful, nothing like them east of Manchuria, we have turned our faces to Old Sol every morning for the past three weeks and he was not veiled with a cloud, but beamed upon us with a warm, glad smile, and how our spirits rest in the winter sun's rays! You feel so good that troubles you have none and start the day so happy that oatmeal for break- fast, sourkraut for dinner and Limbur- ger for supper seems more than you de- 8c »■'•". rthI are thankful. We are all preparing for a big Easter and those who have the stock in the right condition need fear little about demand. It is in human nature to feel optimistic. In fact it is an essential of life. If the pessimists were in the ma.iority it would be a miserable world, «nd it must be rather blue to live in a city or town that does not grow. There are such places in this great country, but they are in the great minority. "A History of Our Times.** A four-mile trollev ride to the east edge of our city line and a mile walk through snow varying from six inches to thirteen feet gave me time to think of the status of our business in this city thirty-five years ago and what it is today. What a list we could draw up of old establishments that were born, flourished and decayed and finally passed off the map during those few years. What an interesting story could be made of "The Growth and Evolution of Our Business" for our national society. It would be mighty entertaining, even if it didn't instruct you how to force "pie plant." For every one of these old places that are no more, a dozen have arisen to take its place, much larger in size and infinitely better adapted to raising plants and flowers. The land in large cities, even in the outlying dis- tricts, is too expensive for the commer- cial florist and so new establishments and removals seek the surrounding coun- try and trolley and" telephone keep them in touch with the city. A Prosperous New Plafe. At the end of the snow walk we found at Pine Ridge, Erie county, a brand new place, that of Messrs. Werick Bros. At present there are only five houses about 20x100. They have, unlimited room to, spread and they are going to widen out. Although strangers to the business a few years ago, they have the vim and brains that will end in success. Two houses were filled with carnations and three with general Easter stock, to be followed by bedding plants for cemetery work. An interesting item in their benches was 2,000 young Fiancee and the writer was pleased to see what a grand lot of strong, vigorous young plants they were. They intend putting tip two more houses 28x100 and converting the heating from hot water to steam. There are other very recently erected places that we know only by name and we are going to buy a Winton auto car and take them all in. W. S. Pueblo, Colo. — G. Fleischer reports business good and prospects bright. Stock is scarce, not enough home-grown carna- tions and outside stock has to be relied upon. It was 30 degrees below zero in February.

S., who asks about double hollow cement blocks as a ma- terial for building walls for a green- house, would say that we built a new greenhouse last season, using the cement blocks as material for our walls. We have the Dietsch style house, running east and west, 41x120 feet, six feet to the gutter. On- the south side we have thiriy-six inches of glass and thirty-six inches of cement blocks. On the west end there is glass down to the same level and cement to the ground. The blocks are well laid up and are excel- lent for the purpose, showing no signs of frost at all. This winter so far has given them a good test, the temperature having gone down 23 degrees below zero. They are also fine material for mak- ing chimneys. This building material has given us entire satisfaction. PiiETCHEE Bros.

Tfae Market A continuance of bright, warm weath- er is causing an increase in the supply of all classes of stock, with a correspond- ing decrease in prices. Beauties are coming in larger quantities and are of better quality. Gates, Brides, Maids and Chatenay are as yet not quite up to the standard, but some very fine Uncle John are to be seen. Carnations are coming in large quantities, especially Lawson, and prices are going down, some re- tailers selling them as low as 25 cents per dozen. Much larger quantities of bulb- ous stock are being shown than former- ly, prices remaininsr about the same. Violets are in abundance and large quantities of callas and Harrisii are seen. The lateness of Easter is bringing on stuff that "would have brought good prices then, but for which there is very little sale now. A large number of small receptions and several large funerals have brought quite an amount of busi- ness from distant points and local trade has been above the average. Variotis Notes. The Commercial Club is making an earnest effort to interest the florists in a flower show to be held in the fall. Past experience has taught us that we can, if we will, have as good a show as any city in the Union and we feeJ sure that the outside florists will again bring their best. A meeting will be held shortly to canvas the situation. Miss Murray has some fine plant stuff on display and reports business as good with enough orders to clean up every- thing each day. Miss Moseley, on Minnesota avenue, across the line, sends a very satisfactory report of business. W. J. Barnes is the premier bulb grow- er in this section. W. L. Rock is displaying some very fine stock at his store and with his large force has all he can do to take care of his trade. ' Miss Jewell, on Grand avenue, is well pleased with trade. Although but a short time in business, her trade has in- creased to very satisfactory proportions. The Star Floral Co., Masonic building, Miss Schaefifer, manager, is busily em? ployed looking up a satisfactory location with the view of increasing their capac- ity. Miss Schaeffer reports business as very satisfactory.

(Of MaceoQ RED SPORT Red Sport has proved the greatest moneT-maker we ever grew, producing more good blooms to the square foot of bench room than any other variety on the place. During the glut the first part of January we could only get four cents for fancy Lawson and sold every Red Sport we had at five cents. Every grower who was here in December was carried away with its possibilities, as a future supply of a "holly berry red" for Xmas. There is no pick in the blooms. They are all a uniform size and color. There are 40,000 or 60,000 buds showing in different stages of development at this time and there is not a split or off color bloom in the lot and every plant is the picture of health. We will plant 20,000 plants of Red Sport for next season's bloom and the cutis already engaged by two of Washington's leading retailers. Red Sport is an easy doer and everyone can grow it as successfully as we can. Price— 12 for $1.60; 25 for 12.60; 60 for 94.00 post-paid; $6.00 per ISO; 960.00 per 1000.

The Brown Floral Co. has a new sport from Enchantress carnation which has been named Mrs. Ida McKin- ley, for the widow of the late President McKinley. In all its characteristics save color and fragrance the sport is identi- cal with Enchantress. The color is a shade lighter than Joost, the petals dark at the base and growing lighter toward the tips in the fully expanded flower. The flower has a strong clover fragrance, which should be a strong point in its favor. Muskegon, Mich. — ^Louis Wasser- man is moving from 89 to 82 West West- em avenue.

GERANIUMS NOT FLOWERING. I mail you under separate cover the tops of two geraniums. Kindly state what the trouble is and the remedy, if any. The plants will not bloom. C. L. B. The tops enclosed were fine, healthy, short-jointed growth and we can see nothing to prevent them from flower- ing. Some zonal geraniums do not flow- er during the winter months; only a few varieties are good for this purpose. However, some varieties after years of propagation will show a tendency to terminate their growth with a number of small leaves, a sort of rosette of leaves. This growth will not flower and the plant is useless for bedding or any other purpose. The splendid old semi- double pink, Emile de Gerardine, which was our standby for years, developed this tendency and we had to be care- ful in the fall to select for cuttings only healthy shoots that had produced perfect trusees of flowers, and you will have to do the same if the varieties you sent have that tendency. The cause of it we do not know. It can hardly be called a disease. Instead of the natural process, they refuse to as- sume the form we call blossoms and continue making small leaves. Selec- tion of healthy cuttings is all the cure we know of for this trouble. W. S. PRIMULA OBCX)NICA, Six weeks before Christmas my plants were fine in foliage, with only one stem of blooms each, but close to the crown were a dozen bunches of buds. I re- moved the leaves from the center of the plants and up come the flower stems, making the finest of plants for the holi- days. Before working with Primula ob- conica, oil the hands and be sure the foliage is dry. J. J, L. Minneapolis, Minn. — Geo. S. Murt- feldt announces that he has purchased the interest of Miss Hattie L.

STOOTHOFF COMPANY, Tobacco Powder Hobbyists, 116, 117, 118 West St., New York Mention Tbe ReTlew when yoa wrlt^. MILWAUKEE. Various Notes. Trade in general is fair. The demand in some lines is brisk, although bulbous stock keeps the market pretty well filled up. There are large supplies of lilies and violets in the market. Eoses and carnations are moving well and prices are fully up to last year at this tune. Good LaReine tulips and daffodUs move best among the bulbous stock. Hyacinths and various colored tulips are in excess of demand. W. A. Kennedy is sending in some fancy roses from the PoUworth range, and Nic Zweifel's Flamingo are equal in size and stem to the Enchan- tress. The Florists' Club's meeting was ear- nation night, Tuesday, March 7. The general average of carnation stock grown in this market is exceptionaUy fine at this time and there was keen competition among such well known car- nation growers as Heitman & Baerman, Nic Zweifel, C. Johannes, Aug. Manke, John Howard, C. Burmeister, Pohl & Krause and several others. Fred Schmeling is championing a spring flower show for the public. There is a large supply of blooming plants in many varieties on the market but the demand appears to be light for them. The store of B. G. Lambros still re- mains closed and is in charge of the sheriff. At the limitation of twenty days the fixtures will be sold to satisfy tbe judgment of John Lambros. Per- haps some arrangement will be made for settlement and continue the store, as it is elegantly fitted up and one of the best located in the city. Incog. DETROIT. Florist Sues Gas G>mpany. Gustave Knoch, at Woodmere, has brought suit against the Detroit Gas, Light and Coke Co., claiming that the corporation is responsible for the loss of a large part of his stock last Aug- ust. The company emptied a quantity of poisonous refuse into a drain which EZnoch - uses and he alleges ' that the fumes worked great injury to his stock. He asks for $5,000 damages. ROOM WANTED!

Many florists will be losing sleep about this time, pondering over the question: "Are my lilies about right, or are they late?" "My azaleas are too early; what shall I do with them?" There are some crops that only years of experience can teach you how to manage, to regulate so finely that ninety per cent will be per- fection in Easter week, because it is not a fixed date and that great florists' harvest may arrive in arctic weather one year and the next year be accompanied by the "busy bee at every opening flow- er." If not observant, we forget. Time to Force Bulbs. Some eighteen or twenty years ago Easter was as late as April 24. Our tulips, narcissi and hyacinths were sadly too early, we being new at the bulb business. We failed to notice that the following year was almost a month ear- lier. The principal impression on our mind was the loss of the previous year, and we allowed only two weeks for the tulips, etc. The weather was dark, stormy and cold and we had to resort to high pressure forcing and then only "reached the wire by a scant nose." Now, for this very late Easter two weeks would have been just right and for a very early Easter the four weeks in a cool house would not have been so far off the mark. However, there is lit- tle excuse for being wrong with the bulbs or valley, or even with the deciduous shrubs, such as lilac and Azalea mollis, but it is different with azaleas, lilies or hybrid roses. I have taken a walk around, listened reverently and contemplated profoundly, examined the indelible lines scored on the grey matter which is called memory and if the conclusion of all this will be a help to any beginner we shall be well pleased. Weather may upset our calcu- lation slightly. Remember that the di- rect rays of the sun have a powerful in- fluence, more, I think, than heat, in ex- panding the petals of many flowers. By the time you read these lines Easter Sun- day will be five weeks away. Azalea Indica. The great majority of azaleas will be more likely to be too early than too late. Without going into the names of the many varieties, the buds will show you plainly what condition they are in. If the buds are showing any signs of swel- ling, then they should be kept in a cool, shady house and retarded all you can, for once the buds loosen up to start, two weeka in a light house at 50 to 55 de- grees at night will bring them into full flower. If a little earlier than above described, the buds oven showing color, you could keep them back in a, deep cold frame, shaded from the sun, with venti- lation whenever possible, but thoroughly protected from frost. We flnd our cus- tomers prefer an azalea that is in not quite full bloom. They like to see many buds to open. If you have some azaleas showing not the slightest sign of mov- ing, and this we noticed recently with summered-over Bernard Andre, and its variety, alba, then get them into sun- light and a night temperature of 55 de- grees. These plants that you have grown during the past summer are never as precocious in flowering as last fall's im- portations. Azalea Mollis. Azalea mollis is a very different plant. These have been wintered in a cold frame and perhaps been frozen for weeks. Allow four weeks in a night tem- perature of 50 to 55 degrees and they will be a mass of bloom. They can yet be bought from large importers and brought in for Easter. Inexpensive and beautiful plants they are, and if not in a limestone district you can truthfully tell your customer that this azalea is a hardy flowering shrub. Lilacs. The lilac, if well flowered and com- pact, is now a favorite Easter plant and no sweet flower is more uni- versally known and liked than the lilac. Allow four weeks in 50 degrees at night. This is another plant that is pre* ferred when there are trusses of flowers not fully out. Rhododendron. The rhododendron is like Azalea Indi- ca, not all inclined to flower at the same season. Plants that show any inclina- tion to open their petals must be re- tarded, the same as you would do with the forward azaleas. Those with buds that are tight and dormant, as they were in midwinter, should be put in a house at 55 degrees at night and given daily spraying until the color shows. Spray- ing causes humidity, not only immedi- ately on the leaves and buds, but in the atmosphere, and you have only to no- tice the effect of a shower in April or May on our hardy shrubs and trees to realize the magical change that occurs. Lilies. We are sure to get a few personal in- quiries about now. In fact, they are ar- riving already, with a postage stamp en- closed, asking "how big should the lily buds be?" Although stamps come handy we cannot undertake to answer so many letters. In a batch of a thou- sand lilies, however good and pure the stock may be, you are not going to get them all into flower in the same heat at the same date. In lact, their flowering time may spread over two months. This occurs in our experience more of late with the Harrisii than with Japanese bulbs and with these scarcely forced at all, say for Decoration day, ninety per cent may be had in flower in the same week, as we have seen occur. The forced bulbs will not do this, so while some plants may be just right, oth- ers will be late, while others are or would be too early. Eemember this. You cannot take a lily from a night tempera- ture of 60 degrees and remove it to a temperature of 40 degrees when the buds are only half developed. They seem to get a chill ahd at once stand still. If much too early, don't attempt to re- tard. Idlies are always useful. You can reduce the temperature 7 or 8 degrees with the early ones without harm, and let them come along at that and once the buds are turning white (not before) they will expand in a very cool house and keep a long time. With lilies the public look for them well out. As most of them are used for church decorations, it is best they should be all well developed to make a good showing. The Japan multiflorum is with us rather early, the black-stemmed gi- ganteum a little late. These lilies, after the buds are visible, will endure strong forcing and can be rushed into flower in a few weeks. I would say, after care- ful thought, that if all the buds are plainly visible five weeks before Easter they would be all right in a night tem- perature of 55 degrees. If later, then more forcing must be done. If very late do not force at all. Spiraea. Spiraea Japonica and its improved va- rieties should be showing spikes, and if so will not want over 55 degrees. Do not neglect to place these plants in saucers. If you grow a thousand it is little ex- pense and saucers are always useful. Keep an inch of weak liquid manure in the saucers and these spiraeas will absorb and digest it and "flourish like a green bay tree. ' ' The difference in foliage and flower over those starved for the want of "that air liquid nourishment which I requires," as Mrs. Sarah Gamp re- marked, is wonderful. Acacia Armata. Fine plants of acacia sell well. It is beautiful in its thousands of little globular blossoms and unique in its glos- sy green foliage. Easter ia rather late for it, unless it has been wintered very cool. We have been troubled with many of the flowers turning brown, which is decay. A cool, dry atmosphere will pre- vent this and the flowers hang on a long time. The Genista. The cytisus or genista is another yel- low blossom and quite attractive as a neat, compact plant. An early Easter suits its season better. All you can do is to keep it very cool. We used to sell many of them, but they received a bad but true character. They quickly drop the flowers and foliage in a living room. The Bougainvillea. The Bougainvillea Sanderii is an aris- tocratic plant and should command a good price. Although a plant of the tropics, it does very well now, and when in flower, at 50 to 55 degrees. If the bracts, which to the customer are the flower, are about coloring, they will be all right, because the bracts hang on for- ever. Rambler Roses. And now we come to a very important Easter favorite, the Eambler roses, not only the popular Crimson Rambler but Dorothy Perkins, the, beautiful pink, and Farquhar. They are all about the same in -time of flowering under glass. If never subjected to a night temperature of over 55 degrees they are far superior to those forced out in 65 degrees, deeper green, more robust foliage and far superior in ^38 The Weekly Florists* Review* Mahch 16, 1905. substance and color of bloom, and this is about true of our tea and all other roses. If you can see the flower truss, then five weeks is plenty of time. If not visible at this time they will want some boosting in the way of heat. These Bamblers should be properly tied or trained to stakes before growth is started, but if there are any naked places or gaps in their make-up, it is not too late to adjust a growth to improve the shape. There is time yet to grow out of man's formal shaping into nature's form and grace, which man cannot imi- tate, with all his skill and dexterity. The greatest menace to the Eamblers now is mildew. Under anything like good care there is little danger, but when they do get mildew, they get it badly. A chill will cause it; so will neglect of ventilation some fine, sunny morning and the house goes up to the century mark; and so will a severe dryness of the roots. These neglects do not occur in well regulated families, but they are not all well regulated. Hybrid Roses. The hybrid perpetual roses in pots, if well grown and flowered, will always sell. There are, perhaps, millions annually forced for Easter, but seldom well grown. American Beauty is one of the very best for this purpose, but I am not on that side of the subject now. These should not have over 55 degrees at any time and if you can see that they are now about to form buds you will be in time. No skill can get a plant of H. P. roses to have all its flowers in the same stage of growth, but let its first blossoms be opening when offered for sale. It is the flowers to come that sell the plant.

The accompanying reproduction of a photograph shows a luncheon table decorated by a group of three baskets. The table is oblong, with covers for nineteen guests. The central point in the scheme is a round, low basket in straw color and green, filled with Enchantress carnations, violets and As- paragus plumosus. Connected with the center basket by slender sprays of smilax at either end are small baskets of the same style and garniture. To get down to details, in filling of center basket with sphagnum, after lining with tin foil to prevent a sus- picion of dampness from soiling the cloth underneath, leave a slight hol- low in the center, and push the moss filling perceptibly toward the edge of the basket. Tie the sphagnum in with a few cross wrappings of green thread and cover the top with a light mat of wood ferns. Wrap the handle with soft, dark olive satin ribbon, without bows. Cut and stem Enchantress car- nations, the stems shortened to from four to six inches, enough to fill in the body of the basket generously, allow- ing freedom to those on the outer edge to lean out naturally. In spite of the shortened stems, many of the heavy flowers in the body of the basket will droop too much. To support them easily without the labor of wiring, set in thickly like bristles, stubs of stems, three or four inches long, with the foliage, which have been cut away from the lower ends of tlie long carnations. This will not only support the flowers and allow them a natural swing, which wiring cannot do, but will add the natural foliage effect so often lacking in carna- tion arrangements. The reason for the depression in the sphagnum filling will appear as the work of inserting the flowers progresses. One often sees a basket filling pyramidal in the center, which is decidedly strained and un- natural. . The opposite treatment throws a few flowers in toward each other and also concentrates the color, producing a gradation of shade to tint from center to edge. Select two dozen most graceful and long-stemmed of the Enchantress and start a cluster as shown, up over the handle from one side. Wire in two or three places around the handle to retain in the position they naturally take. The delicate tint of the En- chantress on the dark green ribbon is pleasing and restful. Set a deep fringe of Asparagus plumosus in short sprays around the edge of the basket. No stemming is needed; the wiry stems will run into the moss and hold themselves in place. Against the asparagus fringe as a background set in clusters of violets stemmed in groups of six to twelve. Here and there they will be thrown against the tint of pink in the carnations and be thrown out in relief. The design of the smaller baskets is more plainly shown in the one on the right. Prepare the basket as was done for the larger one, except instead of covering the sphagnum with ferns use Asparagus plumosus, not upright, but set down into the moss so far that only the foliage is visible. This makes a soft bed over the sphagnum. Instead of inserting the carnations upright in the basket, stem at various lengths from four to twelve inches and insert horizontally from the center toward one end of the basket, the longer ones falling far out past the end of the basket. Then stem some carnation stems and insert in the same way at the center of the basket toward the opposite end. When complete the de- sign will appear to be a cluster of long stemmed carnations laid in the basket lengthwise. Tie a small cluster of violets on one side of the handle toward the top, with a smart butter- fly bow of dotted light pink florists' chiffon. Set in a cluster of violets at the base of the handle opposite. Work in a few carnation buds among the carnation flowers. Turn two or three carnations backward from the general direction of the cluster over the stems. After placing the baskets on the table, start a light garland of smilax from a point about one-third of the dis- tance up the handle of the large basket on either side, downward across the cloth in a curved line toward each of the smaller baskets. Let the tip end easily reach and touch the base of a small basket. From the same source trail two or three other light garlands of smilax to either side of the small baskets, touching the points where the candlesticks are placed, or at some other convenient point. Under the two outside smilax sprays, starting with them from the large basket, trail a 2-yard wavy length of the dotted pink chiffon to match the bows on the small baskets. This is distinctly shown between the foreground candlesticks and the baskets. As should be always observed, favors to match some portion of the center- piece here take the form of bunches of violets tied closely up under the heads of the flowers with brisk bows of the pink chiffon. Candle shades in pink are used to blend with the dominant color. Gkrtbude Blair. THE ROSE IN DECORATIVE ART. [A paper by Robert Kift, of Phtladelpbta, read before the New York Florists' Club, Marcli 13, 1905.] When vlamo nature stirs in the early spring and arouses into life the snow- drops anil crocuses, which in turn are followed by their more pretentious kins- men, the gnudy tulips, the daffodils and stately hyacinths, she pauses awhile to admire and then actively and vigorously her work goes on, until the whole land- scape is pictured with her beautiful art. But still she presses forward not satis- fied, until at last the crowning glory of her work appears, the rose, the queen, of flowers. It is her masterpiece. She has en- dowed it with every virtue, it is most beautiful in form, it has almost all the colors of the rainbow, while its fra- grance is most delightful. She guards it carefully, providing even an armor of thorns to protect it. 'Tls sweet to dare the tangled fence To cull the timid floweret Uience. Such is a brief description of the flower we honor tonight. The Rose of Commerce. Almost the entire history of the roses of commerce, as we know them today, covers but the short period since 1870. Prior to that time the camellia was the favored flower, and choice blossoms brought fabulous prices. As soon, how- ever, as the rose made its appearance the camellia was doomed. Bon Silene, Safrano, Marechal Niel and Lamarque, small and insignificant as, with the ex- ception of the Marechal Niel, they ap- peared, thoy soon relegated the old fa- vorite to Lhe blackground'and^'finally to oblivion. How I remember the weary hunt in the early eighties from one greenhouse to another over the Hoboken hills, gath- ering in a few Bon Silene and Safrano here and there, and possibly a few Jacques, which were then being forced in small quantities but which soon took the lead as the most popular rose. Two hundred or 300 buds were then considered a large stock and well worth the one ■ ■^. . " ' "■ .'■ ' - - . ■■'■'■ ■ - ■ - • - ; '_ March 16, 1005.

The decorative features of the flower did not count for much until the long- stemmed hybrids made their appearance. The advent of Ernst Asmus's Glory of Paris (Auna de Diesbach) made a great sensation. This was followed by Ulrich Brunner and Mrs. John Laing. Then came the new teas, Catherine Mermet, followed by Bride and Bridesmaid. It was, however, that queen of roses, the American Beauty, introduced to the public by the Field Bros., of Washing- ton, that placed the rose in the van as a decorative flower. Now no important decoration appears complete without a liberal representation of this variety to add dignity to the occasion. Fashion in Use of Flowers. To a certain degree dame fashion must be reckoned with in floral art, as there are fashions in flowers and floral devices, the same as in dress. Peter Henderson's book on the art of bouquet making and the general arrangement of cut flowers was the recognized authority of his peri- od. The close, compact form, presenting solid masses of flowers, without foliage, was then the fashion and the details of arrangement are minutely described in this work. Since then with the great strides made in the cultivation of flowers and the production of long-stemmed blos- soms, the styles have changed, the close, formal designs have been succeeded by the more graceful and natural arrange- ments that display the beauty of stem and foliage as well as flower. In the gnrden dame nature arran:res her flowers in the most beautiful man- ner conceivable. The branches of the climbers bond over gracefully with their wealth of bloom, all, even the smallest blossom, uniting into a perfect whole; while the bush varieties throw up their single buds or clusters that stand from out their wealth of foliage in perfect symmetry. Such effects can be produced in the ball room or elaborate house func- tions, the growing rose being simulated and made to climb in any direction and when covered with blossoms makes a cap- ital counterfeit and beautiful decoration. The Many Uses of Roses. For the wedding, that most joyful time of life, there is no flower that more fittingly graces the occasion than the rose. In the church, the altar, the chan- cel, the windows, the pew ends, in fact, at every available point there should be seen this most beautiful flower. The bride and her maids should carry them and, under a bower, surrounded on every hand by beautiful roses, she should stand to receive the good wishes of her guests. The beautiful custom of greeting the debutante upon lier entrance into soci- ety with the choicest flowers has grown into promincuoe the past decade and of- fers grear opportunities for the artist. Probably no other occasion brings to- gether such an assortment of flowers as are to be tound among the hundreds of clusters that grace the receptions of the popular young buds. The rose is also found in the front ranks here, as seventy- five per cent of the bouquets are sure to be of our favorite flower. The arrangement of flowers for the dining table is an art in itself and the rose easily leads in popularity for this purpose. The formal plateau, or mound, has given place to the more graceful arrangement in low bowls below, or high receptacles thai; carry the flowers above, the line of vision. When loosely ar- ranged in such vases all the beauty and grace of the flower are brought out. They should not he so crowded as to lose their individuality, but enough should be used to get the color effect, and their quality and freshness should always be such as to leave nothing to be desired. Tall vases of long-stemmed American Beauties are still very popular, and cer- tainly the most effective of all roses, whether used in groups of palms, on the banquet table, or in other of the many places that seem ideal for them, and for which there seem* to be almost no sub- stitute. The use of flowers to carry, the voice of condolence to bereaved ones is a beau- tiful custom, and one, let us liope. that will never die out. It can hardly be classed as decorative art, yet for those who have the flnal disposition of flow- ers as they are placed before the public today, it is a very important branch of the business, and as much care and at- tention must be given, and as skillful treatment in the arrangement, as for any other o^asiun^_H«*e,-as-<4sewhCTF7"+"^ simplicity has asserted itself, and the cluster of long-stemmed roses and the wreath, the least formal of all designs, are fast growing in popularity. The Rose in Roman History. If we can believe the accounts of the extravagant use of roses thousands of years ago, and they appear to be authen- tic, our most extensive decorations art' as nothing when compared to these elab- orate displays, as much as $100,000 hav- ing been spent by Nero for roses for one entertainment. What they sold for by the dozen may be conjectured from the following, copied from Mr. Parsons' book on ' ' The Eose, ' ' published in 1847 : If the Egyptians cultivated roses for trans- portation to Rome during the winter, thev must have had very extensive plantations for the pur- pose. ^ The exportation could not have been of loose flowers or they would have withered long be- fore the termination of the voyage Neither could It have been of rooted plants in a dor- mant state, as nurserymen now send them to every part of the world, because the Itomiins had at that time no means of causing tliem to vegetate and bloom in the winter. On the con trary. the cultivators at Alexandria and Mem- phis must of necessity have sent them awav in the vases and boxes in which tliev hail planted them with that object, and when they were Just beginning to break from the bud in order that they might arrive In Home at the moment they commenced expanding. , -'^t that remote period, when navigation was far behind Its present state of perfection the voyage from the mouth of the Nile to the coast of Italy occupied more than twenty davs When this long voyage Is considered, and also the quantity of roses required by the Romans to enwreath their crowns and garlands, to cover their tables and couches and the pave- ments of their festive halls and to surround the urns which contained the ashes of their dead. It Is evident that the Egyptians wlio traded in roses In order to satisfy the prodi- gality of the Romans would be compelled to keep In readiness a certain number of vessels to be laden with boxes or vases of rose plants so prepared as not to bloom before their dellv- er.v at Rome. The cost of roses thus delivered in Rome must have been Immense, but we do not And a single passage in ancient authors which ciin give any light on this point: thev only tell us that nothing for the gratification of luxury was considered too costly for the wealthy Roman citizen. What would rose bushes in bud, such as we know them today, look like after a three weeks' journey by seal They must have been impregnated with the same blood as Burbank's fadeless flow- er; in fact we are led to wonder if the roses of that day were roses at all, or at least sn<'h as we know them now.

In ad- dition to the decorations for the table the couch(!s upon which the guests re- clined were elaborately decked with roses, as were also the floors of the rooms. Cleopatra covered the floors of her diuing-rooms with rose leaves to a con- siderable depth, and over them placed a fine net, to that her guests might tread the floral carpet without inconvenience. It was the custom to cover the beds of the guests with roses, and some who slept under layers of rose petals were annoyed beyond measure if any of them should srtart to curl, indicating they were not fresh. I fear that some of their descendants are among our patrons of today. The i-ot^e has many rivals as a dec- orative flower. The chrysanthemum, the carnation, tin; lily, and even that butter- fly of fashion, the orchid, are all in the race for popularity. But the rose, en- dowed with so many points of excellence, is still the one great favorite. One thing more may be said of the rose that can hardly apply to any other flower, and that is its changing beauty. As a bud we admire it, and as it slowly develops until half blown, it grows more and more beautiful, until finally when fully expanded, it takes another form and gradually fades away. Oh. there Is nought In nature bright Where roses do not shed their light! And when, at length, with pale decline. Its florid beauties fade and pine, Sweet as in youth. Its balmy breath Diffuses odors e'en rn death. NEW AND PROMISING SORTS. [A paper by P. J. Lynch, of West Grove. Pa., read before the Florists' Club of Philadelphia, March 7.] Philadelphia as Rose Center. In responding to the invitation of the chairn.an of the committee having charge of the evening's program, to give a "short" talk upon the new and promising roses, I think the polished diplomacy of the gentleman overcame my better judgment, for I know of no I)articular act of my life that justifies the honor thus paid me. Your club has ever been in the front rank in further- ing the popularity of the rose, while the fame of your growers is world-wide. For a slow town like Philadelphia, send- ing safely to England's queen, as one of your growers did, a bunch of that beautiful rose of Philadelphia origin, Queen of Edgely, savored of a pace rather diflicult to overtake. Then, too, while the origin of the ever-popular American Beauty (or as has been claimed, Mile. Ferdinand Jamain) is somewhat obscure, yet it first attained prominence as a commer- cial variety through the foresight of a Philadelphia grower. Liberty, now so thoroughly established as a forcing variety, came into prominence through the efforts of a Philadelphia grower. Even that much-discussed variet.y that today for amateur cultivation is per- haps the leading rose of its color, achieved notoriety through one of your local growers. Though gallantry was at stake as to whether it should be named for the bishop or the lady, the bishop won. I refer to Balduin — Helen Gould. I might mention a host of now famous varieties, such as William Frances Ben- nett, Souvenir de Wootton, Golden Gate, Princess Bonnie, Pink Soupert, Marion Dingee and many others whose rise to fame and popularity came through the intelligent efforts of growers of Phila- delphia and its environs. With these facts in mind I approach this subject with considerable apprehension. Some Old Roses Still "New." I am conscious of the fact that in the brief limitations of this paper it wiU be impossible to cover the subject com- pletely and accurately. I shall there- fore give you my observations as they have occurred to me in the daily con- tact with over a thousand different va- rieties of roses, coming as they have, from all parts of the world. I shall gpeak only of roses now in commerce, and while varieties may be mentioned that are not entirely new so far as re- cent origin is concerned, yet it is to be borne in mind that there are a great many roses "born to blush unseen and waste their sweetness on the desert air"; many for years remained unno- ticed, with their latent beauty unde- veloped, until through sheer force of worth they rose to fame and glory. We have notable instances of this fact in Golden Gate and more lately that Irish beauty, Killarney. The Amatetjr's Interest I shall also give equal prominence to varieties that are jindoubtedly valu- able, not only for forcing purposes, but those varieties appealing to amateur growers, whose ranks are constantly in- creasing. Of this class, for whom I feel better fitted to speak than from a strictly professional standpoint, I can say that it is a gratifying indication of the rapidly increasing love for the queen of flowers, that the average ama- teur enthusiast — and there are thou- sands of them in all sections of the land — is keenly alert to the improve pienta of thfl rme, an4 Bo#-4Bfrecrneirti7~rTFie~Eea(r~of has a knowledge of varieties as accu- rate as that of the professional grower. This growing interest of the masses bodes well for the future of the rose, and should prove a stimulus to Ameri- can hybridizers, who may feel assured, if their creations have merit, that the rose-loving public will be quick to give them deserving recognition. The Newer Ramblers. It seems fitting that I recommend at the outset that sensational new rose, Mme. Norbert Levavasseur, or Baby Rambler. This vivacious French debu- tante is the rose that blooms every day in the year. Growing in its full vigor twenty inches high, with finely pol- ished, dark green foliage, with which it is abundantly supplied, it forms a com- pact bush, which with ordinary care is a mass of shining crimson beauty. For every purpose from the florists' stand- point it possesses the highest value, and for the amateur it ^s equally valu- able. It is indeed a perpetual bloom- ing, dwarf Crimson Rambler. In the Rambler class may be also mentioned a variety that does not seem to gain the recognition it deserves as a rose of splendid worth, Dorothy Per- kins. It is a true Rambler, particular- ly valuable for Christmas work, and equally as valuable in the open ground; thoroughly hardy, bearing in large clus- ters beautiful clear, shell-pink flowers of excellent substance. Philadelphia Rambler, a recent introduction, bears out all that is claimed for it, and in some respects is an improvement over the old, reliable Crimson Rambler. The Splendid Hardy Hybrids. One of the most unique and valuable of the newer roses is Soleil d'Or, the first of a new race, a cross between Per- sian Yellow and Antoine Ducher. It forms a strong, sturdy bush, very robust in liabit, with foliage that emits the true sweetbriar fragrance. The flowers . are sunset yellow or reddish gold, and are highly fragrant; hardy everywhere; splendid for single specimens or for hedges. In this same class of hardy roses of the rugosa and sweetbriar type may be mentioned Sir Thomas Lipton, a rugosa rose. The flowers are large, very double, pure white and fragrant. It is freer blooming than any other rugosa, and will prove a splendid variety for hedging purposes. From Germany comes another great new hardy rose, Frau Karl Druschki. The flowers are almost as large as American Beauty, deliciously fragrant, full, deep and double. This variety may be called a free blooming hybrid perpetual, being a cross between Mer- veille de Lyon and Mme. Caroline Tes- tout. The color is snow-white. Apart from Margaret Dickson we do not have a really great white rose in this class, and this variety may be considered one of the best, if not the very best, hardy hybrid perpetual rose of its color. Newer Hybrid Teas. Among the newer hybrid teas of prominence and merit we have Bessy Brown, a really wonderful rose, with large, double, deep flowers, borne on strong, erect stems, after the style of President Carnot, which it resembles in growth and somewhat in flower, but is distinct enough to deserve^a placft^ — " ic heaiT^of the list. Mabch 16, 1906. The Weekly Florists' Review. 94J We hear but little of the rose that bears the honored name of Admiral Schley, which as a pot plant possesses rare value. The color is rich, glowing, velvety crimson. The flowers have im- usual substance, a valuable point, are delightfully fragrant and borne in great abundance. A clean, healthy, dwarf grower, with splendid foliage. Since Killarney has become recog- nized as a rose of more than ordinary merit, such roses as Mme. Jules Grolez, its counterpart in color and almost equal in flower, remains unnoticed. It is a splendid grower and with proper management should prove a strong com- petitor of Killarney. The list is incomplete without Lady Joy, a cross between American Beauty and Belle Siebrecht, a royal parent- age; flowers large, cup-shaped, almost double, with enormous shell-like petals of good substance, highly fragrant. The color is new — lively crimson. Mrs. Eobert Garrett is of the same type, but not as free blooming; im- mense bright, clear pink flowers. We cannot omit Winnie Davis, one of the fairest of the newer hybrid tea roses. Very free blooming, of good habit of growth, with immense, long, heavy buds, splendidly formed, developing into unusually large flowers. Color bright apricot-pink, shading flesh tint at the base of petals. A Word for Americans. Eight here I wish to compliment our American rose growers upon the splendid results achieved in producing new roses of merit. Fully conscious of what our brothers across the sea have done for the rose, for which we are in- debted to them, I would say naught against the magnificent work they have done, and are doing. Unlike our Amer- ican growers, however, who hesitate to offer a rose unless it be of pro- nounced merit, from my own personal experience, each year hundreds of va- rieties are produced in Europe many of which have little or no merit to commend them. I know of nothing that is so fraught with pleasure, as well as disappointment, as the trying out of new roses, and it has been the practice of our company up until re- cent years to try out all the new roses of Europe as they have been intro- duced, and I can say that the large majority of these new varieties of for- eign origin have been disappointing. Therefore our American growers are to be not only congratulated, but also commended upon the work they are do- ing, and the precaution shown in not introducing any and every seedling they originate. I need not call attention to Mr. Hill's splendid new rose, Richmond. It has spoken for itself, and as a candidate for popular favor in the class of red forcing roses it seems to be a decided improvement over any we have at this time. Rosalind Orr Eng- lish is another promising hybrid tea. John Cook, to whom we doff our hats as one of the veteran introducers of meritorious new roses, contributes Cardinal, a beautiful crimson hybrid tea, and Enchanter an extremely free blooming variety with large, clear, bright pink flowers. Mr. Cook selects this variety as the best of over 500 seedlings. Pierre^Nottlog a ViflnaT Let me recommend Souvenir de Large Flowered White Margaerite. (Grown by Wm. Nicholson. Framlngham, Mass.) Pierre Notting as one of the best roses for all around purposes intro- duced in many years. It will take front rank, if not surpass from every standpoint, white and pink Maman Cochet, the best roses for summer flowering in the open ground. This new variety is a splendid grower, throwing up beautiful flowers on long, stiff, erect stems. The bloom is large and double, opens easily and possesses unusual substance. The color is dif- ficult to describe, apricot yellow, tinged with golden, mixed with orange yel- low, while the edge of the petals are shaded carmine. Every florist who has a foot of ground for summer roses should have this rose. Mme. Derepas-Matrat has estab- lished itself as a companion to the Cochet roses, which it resembles in ev- ery particular, except the color in deep yellow. Other Good New Sorts. The following varieties are also among the most promising of the newer sorts. Canadian Queen is an improve- ment over Mrs. J. Pierpont Morgan, Mme. Cusin and Mrs. Oliver Ames, the latter which it resembles in color; General MacArthur, a vivid crimson hybrid tea; Red Chatenay, deeper in color than the parent; Uncle John, more pronounced in color than Golden Gate; Beauty of Eosemawr, rich car- mine red, valuable for outdoor pur- poses; La Detroit, distinct and valu- able, shell pink, good for forcing; Sax- onia, worth trying as an improvement over Golden Gate; Mrs. B. R. Cant, unusually valuable for amateur^ulti:_ _4^YatinTl, better- tlnnr^iPapa TJontier ; Au- rora, an improvement over Hermosa; Franz Deegen, an immense deep, double yellow rose, alike in habit and growth with Kaiserin Augusta V^ictoria, and far superior to Perle von Godesberg, sent out as Yellow Kaiserin; Florence Pemberton, a strong growing hybrid tea, large shell-pink flowers, good for open ground work; Maddalena Scal- arandis, will rank with the Cochet roses outdoors, color rich dark pink, on yellow ground. Ideal ranks with Bridesmaid and La France, pink in color. Old Rose Made New. As an example of an exceedingly rare rose I mention the variety York and Lancaster, which dates back to the War of Roses between the royal houses of York and Lancaster, said to have originated when these warring factions became united, its colors rep- resenting the white of the Yorkists and the red of the Lancastrians, the flower being a combination of red and white blotched and striped. Magnafrano is a free blooming hy- brid tea, with large, double pink flow- ers. Wellesley is a remarkably free flowering forcing variety. The color is bright pink; a good keeper. For greenhouse men doing a local trade there is always a demand for a hardy ever-blooming climbing rose. To meet this demand there is no better variety than Climbing Clothilda Soupert. The list of the newer and promising varieties could be extended to consid- erable length, but I feel that I have already encroached too far upon the patience of you gentlemen, and in thanking you for your kind attention _1 wish to expreaa tha Lope ^th'aTX'inay have said something of value to grow- ers as well as helped deserving roses to greater popularity., . . . .. r.-' ■■■•v'':?i-~; 942 The Weekly Florists^ Review* '^'■H '*.r ■"!?'> V .^'V:; V?. 7i:.:.

As Easter approaches and we are all trying to make the best showing possible, every foot of bench space occupied and every minute of time valuable, there is frequently a danger of neglecting the young rose stock, the Easter stock get- ting all the attention, the returns from such being a nearer prospect. If we al- low any of these issues to entice us to relegate the young stock to dark, cold or draughty quarters, or let them suffer from neglect in any way, however hard we are pushed for time or crowded in bench room, we cannot expect to have the best of success when such stock is benched. Stock which has suffered in this way in its youth may apparently recover and look well during the growing season, but the chances are that after a few weeks of firing they will begin to go back, without any apparent reason, defying the skill of the best growers to keep them in health. Many of the troubles which come under my notice are traceable t: this carelessness and neglect of stock while yet in the pots. As the sun 's rays are becoming strong- er every day, care should be taken that young stock is kept from drying out and also that they do not become pot bound, as pot bound stock suffers severely if allowed to become dry and rarely, if ever, recovers fully from such a shock. In nearly every range of glass there will be found some panes which, owing to some defect, will cause blistering and burning of the tender young foliage and even the older foliage will be apt to suf- fer as the season advances. These spots should be hunted out and touched with oil. It takes a few days to find them, but it pays. Ribes. IS LAWSON "RUNNING OUT?" Apropos of the views as to Lawson "running out" expressed in the last issue of tho Beview, Fred Dorner, Jr., Lafayette, Ind., says that they have not for two years grown Lawson for cut flowers. J. W. Dunford, of Clayton, Mo., writes: "1 think that on account of its vigorous constitution Lawson will be good for some time to come but the fact that it Is necessary to plant it very early to get good stems and the high tempera- ture we must give to make it profitable are somewhat against it. It is an es- tablished fact that all varieties 'run out' sooner or later." Mr. Dunford says that he can not credit the statement which has been made that half the car- nations grown this season are Lawson. In this connection it is interesting to note that one of the large growers at Chicago says that for two years past more thin h.iJf his sales of cuttings have been Lawson, and he has some twenty varieties on iiis place. Writing from Denver, J. A. Valentine says: "T think there is nothing in the appearance of Lawson as grown in this vicinity which would indicate that it is ' running out. ' When the variety was new and considered a novelty, it was naturally given extra care, and proba- bly the blooms then produced averaged better than those produced now; but we The White Lorraine Begonia. occasionail/ see benches of it which seem in every way equal to the variety when first produced." CARNATION "DEALS." An arrangement has been consummated between the E. G. Hill Co., Bichmond, Ind., and W. N. Rudd, of Mt. Green- wood, 111., whereby Mr. Budd's new pink carnation, Lady Margaret, on the order of Fiancee, will be introduced to the trade by the Hill Company. Mr. Hill has also entered into an arrangement with H. Weber & Sons, of Oakland, Md., to handle their splendid white variety. My Maryland, which is to be sent out next season. Both varieties will be grown ex- tensivelv at Bichmond. We are well pleased with the Review, here is the proof, another dollar. — Hart- mann & Wagenfohr, Winfield Jet., N.

On page 882 of last week's Beview is an article entitled "Beturning Conden- sation," from our friend J. M. Gasser, of Cleveland. Now all who know Mr. Gasser as intimately as does the writer are well aware that he is, in greenhouse construction, heating, ventilation and ar- rangement of benches, one of the most progressive men in the business. No sacrifice of time or money is too great for Mr. Gasser if he can attain the best construction and methods. Notice that he dug a hole twelve feet deep for grav- ity. Then he changed to a trap, then to a pump and then back again to a trap, all to attain the best method, which he seems to have found in the last trap. It is from the effort of such men to overcome difSculties and the desire to reach perfection that most of us benefit. Beginners can copy, without expensive experiment, the results of years of thought and labor of these progressive men. But with all this Mr. Gasser should not be "surprised" that anyone would recommend high pressure on the boiler, with an automatic steam pump and con- trolling valve to reduce the pressure of the boiler, say forty pounds, to a pres- sure of two pounds on the piping. He should not condemn it simply because he never tried it. His experiment with the steam pump and receiver holding six bar- rels, or about 200 gallons of water, and no controlling valve was no more a test of this system than the old-fashioned brick flue. No wonder he pumped back cold water. The receiver of the modern pump holds, for a block of 40,000 feet of glass, with 18,000 feet of 1-inch pipe and several hundred feet of 2-inch and 3-inch pipe, not more than eight gallons of water. It might hold that quantity but it never does, because directly there is a gallon of condensation returned to the receiver, the pump starts and back it goes to the boiler at a temperature al- . most 212 degrees. Those who are quite satisfied with a trap should stick to it on the very ancient maxim of "Let well enough alone." I can quote what more than one have told me who have tried both systems. "I would not have another trap as a gift since I know the benefit of the pump and controlling valve." I have not written the above to dis- suade anyone from using a trap, but sim- ply to prevent Mr. Gasser from bein^ unpleasantly surprised at the commen" dation of a system that he never tried and which is so extremely satisfactory where used. William Scott. OUR PAMPHLETS. The Beview has reprinted Mr. Mont- gomery's article on "Grafted Boses for Forcing" and the Pronouncing Diction- ary of Plant Names. Each makes a neat pamphlet.

At a meeting in Chicago March 10, the books of Treasurer Rudd were audited and the affairs of the World's Fair Flower Show Association wound up, with the exception of mailing divi- dend checks to guarantors who paid the assessment. This will be done as soon as a printed statement of receipts and disbursements can be prepared to go with the checks. The statement shows a profit of $1,457.35, equivalent to a dividend of twenty per cent, with $15.35 balance to defray cost of printing and postage. All things considered, it is a very favorable outcome. A brief sum- mary of the statement follows: Receipts. From 20 per cent assessment $1,442.00 Admissions 7,720.00 Mlscellunoous 727.55 Total $9,889.55 Disbursements. Assessment returned $1,442.00 Premiums •. 4,476.00 Miscellaneous expense 2,514.20 Dividend, 20 per cent 1,442.00 Reserve for printing and postage 15.35 Total $9,889.55 A RARE CATTLEYA. We reproduce in this issue a good photograph of Cattleya Trianae var. Backhousiana which is at present in bloom in the orchid collection of E. (t. Uihlein, Chicago. This is not only a very handsome variety but also very rare. Flowers are well shaped, sepals and petals blush pink flaked at the tips with bright magenta; lip round with a large blotch of deep purple; throat intense yellow. While the ordi- nary Cattleya Trianaj can be purchased at from $2 to $5 for good pieces, Mr. Uihlein has declined an offer for this plant from one of the largest orchid dealers in England of $250. It is cer- tainly a gem. WATCH THE GAS MEN. It is worth while to keep your eye on the gas company's employes when you see them working on the mains near your place or near your water supply. Closely following the report that Gus- tavo Knoch, at Woodmere, Mich., has started suit against the Detroit Gas Light and Coke Co., as a result of its careless dumping of poisonous matter taken from its mains, comes the story of an almost parallel case at Cincin- nati, where Critchell's lost a big lot of cuttings. The water which accumu- lates in the gas mains and requires to be pumped out seems to contain most injurious- elements and water should not be used which contains the slight- est trace of the poison. The follow- ing letter from B. P. Critchell tells what happened in his case: On account of a bad accident that we had in our propagating houses we had to discontinue the rooted-cutting !nlvertisoment. During^ Jhe_ severv' wtnihvv In January tBe Has Company dumped some gas water Into the creek, which Is our water supply, and It stopped at our pond, and before we knew anything about the poisonous nntiiro of It. we had used It for several days In the propagating house. The Gittleya Trianae Var. Backhousiana. result was that we lost the entire bench of be- tween 20.000 and 25,000 cuttings. Have cleaned out the house and are in shape again and will send you an advertisement in time for next week's issue. We had very good results from the advertisement, and have had to return quite a number of orders with the money for the reason that parties wanted the stuff Immediately. ILLINOIS STATE ASSOCIATION. The prospect of securing a state ap- propriation for experiment work for floriculture under the direction of an ad- visory committee of the Illinois State Florists' Association has awakened great enthusiasm in that organization. At a meeting of the Chicago Florists' Club on March 9 thirty new names were added to the already long list of members of the state society. Application to incor- porate has been filed. In the endeavor to secure favorable consideration by th? state legislatuM, the committee in charge has been surprised at the lack of realization of the importance of the greenhouse industry in Illinois. For educational purposes it has issued the following open letter: By an act approved March 2. 1S87, the na- tional government appropriated $15,000 per an- num to each state tor the purpose of establish- ■ing and maintaining an agricultural experiment station, "to aid In acquiring and diffusing among the people of the United States useful and practical Information on subjects connected with agriculture and to promote scientific In- vestigation and experiment respecting the prin- ciples and applications of agricultural science." The Agricultural Experiment Station of Illi- nois was placed under the direction of the trus- tees of the State University as a part of the university. From 1SS7 to 1901 the station was maintained upon the United States fund ot- - $15.000. Its spbern — BTTd Tfs activities w-ere necessarily limited because the above sum had to be used for salaries, printing four bulletins a year, as required by law, labor, supplies, etc. When divided among four or five, 'departments representing great agricultural Interests, such as agronomy, animal husbandry, horticulture. dairying, together with the necessary Investlga- tion In butauy, entomology and chemistry re- lating to these Industries, it Is a matter of wonder that the stations hare done the great work they have. According to the provisions of the law. none of the money can be used for liulldings, as it was supposed the states would make the necessary appropriations for them. Four years ago the various agricultural or- ganizations of the state, realizing that the ap- 1 iiipriations received from the national govern- ment were inadequate, sought and obtained ap- |)roprlations. I'he past two years appropria- tions were made as follows: Twenty-flve thou- sand dollars for live stock Investigations; $25,- (no for the soil survey of the state, $15,000 for dairy investigations, $10,000 for com investi- gations and $10,000 for orchard investigations. I'^ach of these appropriations was expended under the direction of an advisory committee of five from each of following associations: The Illinois Live Stock Breeders' Association, Illi- nois Farmers' Institute, Illinois Corn Growers' and Illinois Corn Breeders' Associations, Illi- nois Dairymen's Association and the Illinois Stute Horticultural Society. The sums mentioned are specifically appro- priated for certain Investigations and have been so used. The only reason the florists have not liad similar appropriations Is l)ecause they have not asked for an appropriation for experi- mental work. According to the census figures for 1900 there was Invested in floriculture In Illinois the sum of $4.tHS.(t.')6. Of this amount $2.0!t6.6ri2 was represented by buildings and $2,439,163 in land. The wholesale value of the flowers and plants sold in 1S99 was $1.867.8.15. There was S,414,- 541 square feet of glass. In addition to the above figures, which relate to the commercial florists, or those who derive the principal part of tlieir lncenefit of this industry, particularly with vegetables under glass. In Illinois, with her great flori- cultural interests, not a dollar has been specifi- cally appropriated for experimental work along this particular line, while other agricultural in- terests have been cared for and florists have paid their part of the state taxes without any direct benefit in return. In Rhode Island an asking has been made of the legislature for the sum of $15,000 for green- houses. They will get it because the florists and gardeners are supporting it. In Illinois there are single eatabllshmeuts with a greater glass area than there was in the whole state of Rhode Island in the census year. The state of New Hampshire has today per- haps the most compact and serviceable little range of glass of any state agricultural college and exjwrlment station, costing $7,000 and built under a state appropriation. Compared with the florlcultural industry in Illinois, New Hampshire has not as much glass as Du Page county, to say nothing of C^ok county, which surpasses every state in glass area except New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Massachusetts. Is $10,000 too great a sum for Illinois to put Into glass structures? The lines of work under glass which most likely will be taken up are methods of com- bating insect and fungous diseases and investi- gations in the use of commercial fertilizers. Whatever Is undertaken will be determined by an advisory committee appointed or elected by the Illinois State Florists' Association, and this committee will certainly see to it that only such problems are investigated as are of the most vital interest to the whole state.

CHICAGO. The Market. - Conditions show little change in the past week. What little several cloudy, chilly, windy days have served to retard production has been counterbalanced by an equal reduction in street sales due to the unpleasfHjt weather. Tuesday the market was in bad shape because of an all-day snow storm which kept the street fltands closed. Lent has had no appre- ciable effect on trade, either in the city or out of town. Beauties are about at the lowest ebb and prices stiff, with quality nothing to brag of. A new crop will soon be com- ing on. Bride, Maid, Chatenay and Lib- erty are all of splendid quality, alttiough with some growers Maid is beginning to lose color. Supplies are very large but all the stock finds an outlet, if not a strong market. Of course prices are very weak on the lower grades with so much good stock selling cheaply. Liberty is not so abundant as the other sorts. The receipts of carnations are very heavy. The street salesmen and the large orders which go to other cities for cheap sales are the salvation of the mar- ket; the removal of these quantities serves to give a value to the select goods and holds prices something like steady; at least a bottom is established. The surplus is almost always in pink and Lawson has to be sold at about the price of good Sport or Triumph to get a buy- er. "White is equal to all requirements. Red is the best seller. Bulbous stock of all kinds continues abundant. There are plenty of fine tu- lips of all colors. Daffodils and jonquils are not so plentiful as they were, but still there are some to spare. Callas con- tinue in over-supply. Easter lilies are jioiuso plentiful but-peor. For^ Easte*- $12.50 per hundred is quoted. A few freesias are seen. Valley is cheap but good. Quantities of sweet peas are received, New York violets never reached this mar- ket in larger quantities and never made lower prices. Good stock is sold in quan- tity at $1.50 per thousand but ocoasion. ally a box of extra grade brings 75 cents per hundred. Mignonette is plentiful. Green goods are equal to all requirements if wants are made known early enough in the day. In fact every order, for no matter what, is well filled if it gets to market before the cleaning up process is complete, for it is the rule of the wholesalers to sell; these days there's sure to be plenty more stock coming on the next train. The Flofiata' Club. There was a well attended meeting of the Florists' Club on March 9, the special attraction being an exhibit of pipes and tobacco. There was also an exhibit of cinerarias by A. P. Frey, of Lincoln park. These were hybrids of Cineraria stellata and C. hybrida and showed some very interesting variations. They were awarded honorable mention. The Chicago Carnation Co. sent a vase of Cardinal and another of White Law- son. These were magnificent. Cardinal never looked so good as it does now and the White Lawson was very fine. The pleasure of the evening was enhanced by the presence of a negro trio and Gus. Balluflf contributed some of his popular songs. Of course the Florists' Club quartette was heard. A committee . was appointed to consider a plan for life membership proposed by E. F. Winter- son. Geo. Asmus has assumed the burden of management for the trade exhibition which is to be a feature of the next club meeting. The show will open at 2 p. m. in room 300 in Handel Hall, 40 Ran- dolph street, and will remain open until after the club meeting, which will take place at 8 p. m. No preihiums are to be awarded, the idea being to make it strict- ly a business proposition. The growers are expected to show what they have to offer for Easter ani every opportunity will be afforded them for taking orders from the retailers, all of whom are ex- pected to visit the show. Dealers in florists ' supplies are also invited to ex-i hibit. • i The club has in mind another of it^ popular suppers for an early Saturday, • evening. • J , i . . ■. : Variooa Notes. E. C. Amling says that to satisfy him- self as to the exact state of affairs he went over his books and found, some- what to his surprise, that where growers had the same varieties of carnations both seasons, the standard sorts have aver- aged better prices from October 1 to March 1 this season than they did last year. Lawson, of course, is an excep- tion; it has sold for less money. But Guardian Angel, Higinbotham, Flora Hill, etc., have brought more, and the growers who had the same space in car- nations both seasons have generally re- ceived more money in the past five months than in the same period a year ago. Lubliner & Trinz have secured the va- cant Carson, Pirie, Scott & Co. store at State and Wlashington streets for an in- definite period and on Saturday opened a flower stand there. They are doing a big business. It is reported they are paying $600 a month rent. These boys are nothing if not enterprising. Tomorrow is St. Patrick's day and many of the store windows show sham- rocks. B. O'Neil, of Elgin, was in town Monday offering the "real goods" grown from seed brought from Ireland ^on his return from his recent visit there. N. J. Rupp, president of the Moninger Co., says that if trade holds out to the end of the season at the pace at which it has started, this will be the banner year for greenhouse building. They have booked good sized orders all the way from Long Island to Colorado. N. J. Wietor, in speaking of the plant business done by the large cut flower growers, said that last fall his firm sold chrysanthemum stock plants at 8 cents each to the value of $980. Save for afl- vejliaing-and-bexes^ that is-ltke-*^ getting" money from home." The World 's Fair Flower Show Asso- ciation affairs have at length been wound up. Dividend checks to balance the books will be maUed in a day or two. There was twenty per cent profit. C. A. Samtielson says that up to the first of Match trade was very gaod.

Mangel has attracted a great deal of attention this week with windows filled with good stock, the central features be- ing green carnations and green roses, dyed. John Lang has returned from his trip to Germany and is again in possession of his old place, having secured it from one Steining, to whom Peter Reinberger recently sold it. H. E. Philpott, of Winipeg, has been in town this week for one of his brief periodical visits. Mr. and Mrs. O. P. Bassett returned Tuesday from a month 's stay at Atlanta, Ga. A. L. Vaughan is on a business trip through Michigan. Howe & Taylor Mfg. Co. has opened its wire work stand at the Growers ' Mar- ket and reports business starting in well. They have a factory on the west side, and are energetic young men, well quali- fied to make the business a big success. W. H. Hilton is planning to spend the summer on the Pacific coast, at Spokane and Portland. He will sell his store on Sixty-third street if a buyer turns up. A. Siegel, of St. Louis, a large buyer in this market, was in town Tuesday. PHILADELPHIA. The Market The market has changed appreciably since the advent of Lent. Prices have fallen from ten to twenty per cent all along the line, with no increase in the volume of flowers coming into town. It is a buyer's market, with occasional dull days to make the dealers eager to accept fair offers for quantity. Beau- ties are more numerous. The specials sell fairly well and will sell better when they get lower in price. There are hard- ly any mediums but plenty of shorts. Fancy carnations have suffered more than the ordinary grades, the Greeks dis- posing of many at curbstone prices. The —demand for violets i* weak and irregular.: Tulips, especially fancy sorts, and daffo- dils are far less plentiful than before Ash Wednesday. Both callas and Easter lilies are increasing^ in number, wMle really good valley is decreasing. Greens are quite plentiful. The southern brand of asparagus is good enough to make the home growers a trifle uneasy. Dendro- Mcntton Wie B«vl«w when yoo wrtte.

At least four of these department stores had millinery openings, which gave Hugh Graham, J. J. Habermehl's Sons and the Wm. Gra- ham Co. quite a little decorating. Wild smilax plants and spring flowers were the chief material. The Dingee & Conard Co. The Review, as all its readers know, is a modern paper, wide-awake and progres- sive, BO it happened that when P. J. Lynch made his maiden address before the Florists' Club of Philadelphia last week, a representative of this paper was straightway sent to West Grove to see the things whereof he spoke. So quickly did this newspaper man reach his desti- nation that he got there before the now famous secretary and treasurer of the Dingee & Conard Co. had returned, whether from that Philadelphia trip or some other was not stated. His brother, Henry Lynch, vice-president of the cor- poration, was there, however. His cour- tesy and his explanations made the visit one of great pleasure and interest. Baby Kambler planted out in the bench is a mght, a sheet of small-leaved, deep green foliage, full of vigorous shoots from which cuttings by the thou- sands are continually being taken and scarcely, missed^ These euttiags are said lo root readily and surely grow fast. Souvenir de Pierre Netting is a beautiful bud, somewhat resemUing Golden Gate in coloring bat richer. The plant is very free and vigorous. But P. J. Lynch has told about the newer sorts, far better than I can, so with a passing glanee at the hybridizing, with good old Bon Silene as seed parent, and the cuttings which are rooting nicely in a pure white sand from the quarry nearby, I will go on to the systems. First in point of interest is that of catching the rain water on the roofs, storing it in tanks and pumping it through the pipes with good pressure by means of Ericsson hot air pumps eco- nomically run. Only in a summer drought is a spring called in to help the rain water. Then there is the system of devot- ing one house to all the varieties ready for shipping, each variety labeled and partitioned with lath, one man's duty be- ing to keep each compartment filled ready for the men in the shipping de- partment. Then there is the ofl5ce, with its drawers and drawers of letters classi- fied, its order books, account books, cata- logues and what not, all bespeaking thought and system. It is a great place, chiefly devoted to roses, but with houses of chrysanthemums, geraniums, begonias, nice little Latania Borbonica and other things to help the roses go all over this great world of ours. Various Notes. Fred Ehret has received a new white rose, resembling but superior to Bride. The bud is fully three inches long, very full and it has a perfect stem and good foliage. It came from John F. Andre, of Doylestown. The Henry P. Michell Co. has a hand- some and unique window decoration, composed of shamrocks in tiny pots and shamrock pans" oir pale green ground with green sash and sweet pea seed in many varieties, the idea being to remind the passers-by of the popular fancy that sweet pea sown on St. Patrick's day will surely thrive.

Otto Koenig was called home during last week's club meeting. Upon arriv- ing home he was presented by his ^ife with an American Beauty. He got back in two hours and brought the news, of his good luck. Mother and child are doing well. Frank Weber, in the course of his re- marks at the club dinner last week, ex- tended the Florists' Club an invitation to hold one of its meetings at their plsice in Gardinville, which was accepted with thanks. J. D. Thompson, of Joliet, 111., ar- rived Monday morning to spend a ievr days among the trade. J. S. Wilson was here several days. J. J. B. BUFFALO. The Aatomobile Show. Last week our city held its third an- nual automobile show and it was a great success. All parties connected with its management auto be pleased! It became a society event and fair ladies prome- naded with huge bunches of violets. Some Main street stores have been adver- tising, "Violets, large bunch 25 cents." If they are in such abundance, let the public have the benefit of it. Many a girl who has been treated to violets dur- ing this very inexpensive period will expect to wear them when they have trebled in price, and Alphonso will have to respond. Palmer & Son and S. A. Anderson both made fine floral cars for their windows. They were each some five feet in length, very complete in all details and only one thing lacking, viz: the odor of gasoline. Palmer used largely his famous Eed Lawson. S. A. Ander- son used some thousands of daffodils. Wind for Anderson 's tires was supplied by Mr. Andy Adams. Trade Good. Bright, clear days and cold, frosty nights is the order of the weather and business is very fair. We have entered Lent, but surely it is time in the world's progress to drop and forget these super- stitions and relics of the dark ages. Don't do anything outside of Lent that you would not wish in An during T«nit and then you can do during Lent what you can do every day in the year, Sun- days included, and the great majority of our people must be of that opinion, for we notice little difference in trade dur- ing Lent. In fact the very word is get; ting obsolete. The ' ' world do move, ' ' Qub Election.

Than Mrs. Charles Eickholt, who died March 1, after a prolonged illness, there have been few more widely known wo- men in the trade. She was a tireless worker and possessed of a mind to which circumlocution was wholly foreign. She went straight to the heart of a matter and seldom failed to see the important ptoint among the many lesser con- siderations by which it might be ob- scured. In speech she was as direct as in her thoughts. The justice with which she administered all ' er business affairs and her indefatigability won for her a large trade. For several years she has been a steady and heavy buyer of cut flowers in the Chicago market. Mrs. Eickholt was in middle life. She came to Galveston from Germany. For years her flower business was small, but it had assumed good-sized proportions by the time of the Galveston flood, in 1900, which inflicted a great loss upon her. But she rebuilt and opened a down-town store and when the new city had risen had a fine trade. Failing health caused her to spend last year in Germany, whence she had but recently returned after convalescing from a se- rious surgical operation. She has two sons, the elder, William, having been in charge of the business for some time and will jjontinue it. Muscatine, Ia. — Geo. Kranz is add- ing largely to his range of glass this spring.

Watroua, Sea Hoinea; Sec'y, G«o. O. Bearer, Booheater; Treaa., O. L. Tatea, Eooheater. The 29th annual convention will be held at Weat Baden, Ind., June, 1906. The "want lists" all come back with no offerings of Teas' weeping mulberry. T. E. Steele is now proprietor of Parry's Pomona Nurseries, at Palmyra, N. J. Jackson & Perkins Co., Newark, N. Y., say that of clematis they are now the largest growers in the world. The South Parks system in Chicago now has a nursery of thirty acres grow- ing stock for park uses, a great deal of material* being required for the new work in hand, Mamaroneck, L. I. — Christopher J. Schilling of New York will build an es- tate here, including a range of green- houses and much l^dscape work. C. E. Oelshlager, Philadelphia, is the architect. At Brandon, Manitoba, the Sterling Nursery Co. is endeavoring to recover $35,000 from the Canadian Pacific Kail- way for loss inflicted by an extension which it ran through the nursery grounds. The quantities of flowering shrubs prepared for this season begin to make apparent the fact that a much larger outlet than usual must be found or there will be a surplus after the spring busi- ness is done. St. Louis, Mo.— Frederic W. Taylor, Chief of Horticulture at the World's Fair, started March 15 for Europe, to join his family and remain for some time. IJis address will be care the Dres- den Bank, Berlin. Although the past winter has been an unusually severe one, nurserymen feel confident that stock has come through in excellent shape, owing to the thick blanket of snow which has everywhere covered the ground. Several nurseries, appreciating that the florists have exceptional opportuni- ties for developing business in hardy or- namental stock, jire establishing agen- cies with greenhouse men who do con- siderable bedding out. Albertson & HoBBS say that in their opinion the storage cellars generally do not contain such quantities of stock as in some previous season, and that there will be little need for bonfires after the spring orders are out. The Chase Nursery Co., piverside, Cal., is supplying 500 orange trees ^r^ — an experimental irrigated^OTSEarcTnear Artesia, N. Mi, in the hot desert coun- try. It is hoped to put the crop on the eastern market six weeks ahead of the southern California product. Whil^ the weeping mulberry may, be called scarce by one looking for a quan- tity, still there is no exceptional demand for it because mo^t Q;f the retail nur- series, have .enough stock for , spring or- ders, and in a ypar. or. two the mulberry will likely be very plentiful again. SHRUBS FOR RAILROAD LAWNS. Please give us list of hardy shrubs suitable for small railroad lawns around stations, just the common varieties. When is the best time to transplant, spring or fallt M. A. B. The following can be recommended as hardy, reliable and satisfactory shrubs for* the locations named: While nearly all these may be transplanted in fall, spring planting, if carried out as soon as the ground can be worked, will give excellent satisfaction. Good sized holes, plenty of good loam, spreading roots and careful and firm planting are some of the essentials of success. In decidu- ous shrubs some of the best common sorts are Lonicera Morrowi and L. Ta- tarica; Spiraea Van Houttei and S. Bu- malda var. Anthony Waterer; Syringa Persica/ Berberis Thunbergi, Hydrangea paniculata grandiflora, Eosa rugosa and ligustrum Ibota. If anything in evergreens is needed, a few reliable and inexpensive sorts are Thuya occidentalis, Eetinospora plumosa, E. squarrosa, E. obtusa and E. filifera. These latter might need a light covering of pine boughs over them in winter to prevent browning of the foliage, but the deciduous sorts named are all ironclad. W. N. CRAia CATALOGUES RECEIVED.

Seed Trade News. AMERICAN SEED TRADE ASSOOATION. Pros., C. N. Page, Des Moines, la ; First Vice- Pres., li. L. May, St. Paul; Sec'y and Treas., C. B. Rendel, Cleyeland. The 23rd annual meeting will be held on the St. IJawrence. June, 1906. There is a big call for nasturtiums. G. C. Watson, Philadelphia, has made an assignment to W. H. Graham. The gardener who wants a pickle con- tract this year has to go to the pickle man's oflSce to get it. From some sections the mail order trade is reported slow. The weather is held responsible for this. The Pacific coast growers are pleased with the way surplus California seed products are being depleted. The year 1905 is likely to be referred t6 by the future old-timers as the best onion seed year that ever happened. Sears, Roebuck & Co. are doing a big business on their first catalogue. They make, print and fill their own packets. It is pleasant to be informed that a variety of seed you supposed was plenti- ful is all sold when you want to buy it. Announcement comes from Pasadena, Cal., that John Lewis Childs will acquire property there for a branch of his busi- ness. The fellow who held off because no- body wanted the seeds he had to sell may be looked up before the season is over. The jobbing houses all report a very satisfactory year. In their judgment this should be a good season in all lines of the seed trade. The general snow storm March 14 put a quietus on the fast developing retail seed trade but the jobbing end is strong- er every day. The growers of peas and beans are said to be hustling now in quest of reliable farmers who have available acres of the right sort. Onion sets at Chicago, March 15, about the only source of supply just now, are: Whites, $3.25 to $3.75; red and yellow, $2.75 to $3. A shortage has developed in many lines of sweet peas, particularly the cheaper sorts. One jobber sold ten tons to a single customer, who would take more. Speaking about high onion prices, it __niay be said^^hat the onion set, although- smaller than the market onion, is never- theless holding its end of the plank well up in the air. Reports from the local seed dealers of the smaller towns show that there is an increasing tendency of seed buyers to patronize the home store in preference to sending off for supplies. The board of general appraisers has determined that pumpkin seed is duti- able at thirty per cent ad valorem. This was,on a contention that it was free as "seeds which are drugs and are in a crude state.

As an evidence of the increasing in- terest in gardening it is cited that near- ly all the Chicago daily papers and those in many other cities now have garden- ing departments, with directions for seed sowing, etc. The seeds exported by the United States in 1904 are classed as follows : -Cutlun Heed, ^141,174 ; flalT^Beed, $8207- 668; clover seed, $600,626; timothy, $480,946; other grass seeds, $299,649; all other seeds, $240,262; total seeds, $2,583,325. Farquhar & Co., Boston, report busi- ness ahead of all previous years to date, with prospects for a splendid season 's trade. The only scarcity seems to be in beans, particularly the wax varieties.

The publication of elab- orate retail seed catalogues before and about Christmas has created a demand for seeds much earlier in the season than was the custom a half century ago, and earlier sowing is much more generally followed than it was then, consequently retail houses which placed their orders with wholesale trad- ers wish to have their goods delivered as early as possible. It is therefore of importance to bring the bulb trade to an end as early in the autumn as pos- sible, so that preparation be made for the execution of seed orders in December. One can imagine what a task it is to get tlie huge bulk of leading vegetable seeds, such as onion, cabbage, carrot, radish, etc., ready by the end of the year. It would appear invidious to place on paper statistics of quantities required by any one house; but if it were done, the figures would be startling. "Take pea picking as an employ- ment for instance, which for weeks is in full swing. A consignment of peas of some leading sort comes in from a grower after they have been duly threshed and winnowed. The character of the samples depends pretty much upon the condition of the weather at the time of harvesting. On reaching the warehouse the bulk is passed through sieves, to take out any broken fragments, etc., and then they are hand-picked by women. .Probably as many as more than 100 women may be employed at this work. They sit at a long bench divided into partitions; near to the front of the partition are openings to the mouths of two sacks, placed underneath. A measure of peas is placed upon the bpnch, and-^ 4h9B with a dexterity rapidly acquired by practice, and with the employment of both hands, the sound peas are drawn into one sack, and those unfit for sale for sowing into another. As a rule, though there may be exceptions, pay- ment is made according to the quan- tity picked during the day, and the price varies according to the sample. The refuse is not wasted, but is sold on the market as cattle food. Beans of various kinds are similarly treated. Some of the women are permanently employed; others for the season only, and experienced pickers return to this kind of employment winter after win- ter."

Though this cannot be classed as a staple crop, they can sometimes be run in as a sort of catch crop and, when near a good local market, profitable returns can often be realized. A soil in which almost any other crop has been grown would be all right if it has not been impoverished, in which case the addition of some fertilizer would be necessary. It is best to sow in rows about twenty inches apart, planting the beans about two inches apart in the rows. In a minimum tem- perature of from 55 to 60 degrees they will grow best. A rise of about 20 de- grees by sun heat should be allowed. When the plants are well up it is a good plan to draw the soil up around the neck of each plant so as to give as much support as possible. They require a plentiful supply of water when once well under way and overhead syring- ing is frequently necessary to keep down red spider, which is one of their most troublesome enemies. We have often found it necessary to give the plants artificial support, so that they could be syringed without throwing them down too much. For this purpose small tree branches are as convenient as anything we have tried. If tljese are set among the plants before they are too far advanced in growth the plants will grow up through them and if the twigs are not too large the foliage will almost hide them from view. Any of the early, quick maturing varieties may be employed. The hard- iest one, most suitable for growing when the temperature is apt to run a little low, 4s Mohawk,- Wt where * temperature as above recommended can be maintained we consider Ne Plus Ultra the most productive. When the soil is poor the yield can be considerably increased by giving a top dressing with fertilizer or an occasional watering with liquid ma- nure but it is best to delay this appli- cation until the first of the beans are veil set. I may also add that during the setting period syringing should be withheld as much as possible or, if it must be done at this stage,, choose bright days when plenty of air can be put on, so that the moisture will be dried from the flowers as soon as pos- sible, or setting mig^t be considerably retarded.

Is club root on tomatoes in green- houses the same as the club root caused on other vegetable life hj nitro-culturet If so, will it not be a bad thing for growers of tomatoes under glass t SoU from fields where the nitro-culture is used is sure to be put into the houses sooner or later. We have been free from club root, but thousands of dol- lars loss has been borne by growers in and near Kennett Square, Pa. We do not expect to use the nitro-culture, bat if this is any relation to club root on tomatoes, which looks like it, would it not be well to sound a word of warning to growers! B. B. I cannot see how the soil taken from fields where the nitro-culture germ is used can in any way affect tomatoes. The bacteria used in the nitro-culture acts only on plants of the legnminosa order, forming nodules on the roots, which act as Jtoie houses for nitrogen, and since the tomato is not a legominoas plant the bacteria would have no effect Dang ,,^^« In cheap seed.

Club root in tomatoes is not the work of bacteria, but the work of a microscopic insect belonging to what is commonly known as the eel worm family. The generally accepted theory regarding dub root in tomatoes is that it i" .iaused by lack of drainage, sourness, or what might be called an unsanitary condition of the soil. W. S. Ceoydon.

Mabch 16, 1905. KANSAS QTY. Thelflarket. A continuance of bright weather la causing stock to come in lively. Beau- ties are of very poor quality but Bride, Chatenay, Gate and Maid are good. Me- teor and Perle are fair. Carnations are better than for some time. Enchantress. Lady Bountiful and Lawson are very fine and prices are stiff. Mignonette, helio- trope and sweet peas are coming in lar- ger quantities and are selling well. The demand for violets is healthy and . prices good. The quantity of bulbous stock is increasing and the lateness of Easter will be the means of bringing in very nearly all the stock held by local growers and Easter week will find the largest growers without any stock worth speak- ing of. Azaleas will be in the same con- dition. Advance orders are being placed by local growers, with outside growers for stock sufficient to fill local orders. Some fine tulips, narcissi, daffodils, Ro- man and Dutch hyacinths and jonquils are seen. Prices are holding up steadily and demand is good in spite of the Len- ten season. Pot plants in endless va- riety are selling well and the opinion of the older florists is that the amount of business done up to date is in excess of any time during the past eighteen years. Various Notes. Your correspondent visited the estab- lishment of E. A. Humfeld and it was well worth the time taken. Mr. Hum- feld has about 12,000 feet of glass and every foot of it in use. Three houses are in carnations in fine shape and the rest is devoted to bedding stock and palms. Although only established three years in the present location, the busi- ness has increased wonderfully. Alex. Kerr has charge of the greenhouses. Tha Kansas City Floral Co. has pur- chased the establishment of John Schnei- der, 821 Walnut street, and is refitting it in first-class style. Mr. Schaeffer, the president of the company, is sparing no expense to make it one of the finest stores in the city. B. S. Brown & Son, of Prospect ave- nue, are swamped with orders these days. A visit to that establisnment found Mr. Bridgeland, the efficient foreman, push- ing things along at a lively rate to keep up with their large trade. The Messrs. Brown do an almost exclusive catalogue trade. Mr. Heite has some very fine seedling carnations. He has been experimenting along that line for some years and ex- pects to put on the market a white and a pink that will have a commercial value. Some of the finest roses on the market at present are those of Al. Broman, of Independence, which are handled ex- clusively by Miss Dalley. Samuel Murray is showing some very fine stock. Mr. Murray reports business as first-class and predicts an unusually brisk trade this spring, A. F. Barbe, of Elmwood, was amon^ the retailers last week and reports busi- ness as first-class. Narcissus. Milwaukee, Wis.— Wm. Edlefsen says business has been good right along, with plenty of funeral work, Colorado Springs, Colo. — Wm. Henry Evans is going ahead with his plans for the erection of a good sized range of greenhouses for cut flowers for whole- sale. He already has the material on the ground for six houses.

The hot weather of the past ten days has brought an unusual cut of every- thing and this, as well as the fact that we are now in Lent, has had rather a demoralizing effect on business in gen- eral. Funeral trade has been the ex- ception and a goodly number of retailers have had their hands full. Violets are daily, becoming scarcer and in another week they will be practically through blooming. There are some good double Marie Louise and Swanley White in town but they do not cut much figure in business. Carnations and roses have dropped fully twenty-five per cent in price daring the past ten days and we can look for an avalanche very soon. Daffodils are getting scarcer but Nar- cissus poeticus is very plentiful. Freesias are gone, likewise tulips and hyacinths. Smilax is scarce and in good demand. Various Notes. Miss Wollenberg is now located on Sutter street, near Polk. T. Duffy, on Golden Gate avenue, one of San Francisco's oldest florists, is making considerable improvement on his premises. ■Podesta & Baldocchi deserve consider- able praise for thejr artisticjwindowjdis:, ^ pTay8"in~^fFe"Sutter street store. The quality of flowers and decorative plants carried is second to none in town. A visit to Sutro Heights shows elabo- rate preparations are being made for the replanting of the spring and summer flowering annuals which make this place one of the sights of San Francisco. J. T. Murphy is head gardener, a position he has held for many years. J. T. Nivens, formerly manager of the Thermal Vale Nurseries, Oakland, is now engaged in landscape gardening m Berkeley.

Would it be possible to get hyacinths into bloom for Easter in a cold frame where they will get the sun for four hours a day? I have no room in the greenhouses. They are outdoors and well rooted. H. C. O. Most decidedly you can flower them in a cold frame. I should think that in eastern New Jersey, where your let- ter is dated, they would be almost in flower by that date in the open ground. The early appearance of the robins, street pianos, muskrats and Dutch bulb salesmen all point to an early spring. Something depends upon how forward the plants are now, but if well rooted they will not want more than ten days in a cold frame and they may need a shading on bright, warm days. We re- member an Easter some sixteen years ago about as late as this one and we had to put hyacinths, tulips and nar- cissi into a cold frame with airyT;nd shade to retard them. W. S. IMPORTS AND EXPORTS. The exports of cut flowers from the United States, all or so nearly all that the others need not be considered, go to Canada. In 1903 we sent out cut flow- ers valued at $5,290, and in 1904 our exports of cut flowers were valued at $5,076. Practically all the cut flowers imported, too, come from Canada, the only exception of any consequence being the annual cargo of Easter lilies from Bermuda. In 1903 the United States imported cut flowers to the value of $31,577, and in 1904 the aggregate value of cut flower imports was $42,612. Braddock, Pa. — M. Drewes will re^. move hi^ store irom 721 Braddock ave- i'Jo the same street at the corner of Sixth. Pomona, N. C. — The J. Van Lindley Nursery Co. is preparing to build two more new greenhouses to meet the ever increasing demand, one house 30x100 feet for asparagus and smilax, and one 24x212 feet for violets. Among carna- tions they find the greatest call for Enchantress and Mrs. T. W. Lawson. Flamingo has proven to be a good one and they will increase their planting of it the coming season, also a bright red sport of their own which they have tested for the past two years and find very satisfactory.

While nobody is boasting about the many millions he has cleared up, there is no one who has had to make a compromise with his creditors, so we would conclude that business is in what might be called a very healthy condition. We note that carnations have been on the whole more plentiful this season than ever before, and there is a feeling that perhaps the greenhouses are going up faster than the requirements demand; this may or may not be the case, but we note that some very cheap stuff has been sold by our department stores and others that handle cut flowers in large quantities. The Easter supply of cut flowers seems to be quite a problem to the growers at present, and it is hard to make any reasonable forecast as to what the supply will be. One thing we feel sure of, that roses and carnations will be plentiful. We note one of our largest growers making an effort to get the large growers of Easter lilies to- gether and make a fixed price. But some say that when valley is wholesaled so that the retailer can sell it for ten cents per. dozen there is not much hope for the prices being maintained on Easter lilies should the grower get stuck. Various Notes. During the week a couple of large funerals have used large quantities of flowers. One procession was headed by three wagons containing the flowers. These wagons belonged to one of our city florists and were placarded on both nsides with iiis name. A visit during the week to a number of greenhouses in and around the city showed stuff in flne, healthy condition, especially the roses. The roses of the Toronto Floral Co. were never better at this season of the year and promise some very fine stuff between now and Easter. This firm is contemplating put- ting up more glass the coming season and re-building the present carnation houses. They intend to discontinue grow- ing carnations aad grow roses in larger quantities. W. J. Lawrence's place is in flne con- dition and, while his roses are some- what off crop, yet the prospects are favorable. Cajnations with him are dp: ing fine, bulbous stock excellent. , $12 per 100 $100 per 1000 250 at 1000 nto VICTORY TO BE DISSEMINATED 1906 I PLACE YOUR ORDERS FOR ROOTED CUTTINGS OF I Per 100 Per 1000 WHITE LAWSON. . . .$6 00 $60 00 NELSON FISHER .... 6 00 60 00 MRS.

PITTSBUHG. The Rose Night. The club met March 7 and out of con- sideration for those members who do not smoke it was suggested that smoking be prohibited during the business session. Boses were the subject for discussion and we had a grand display, both from our home growers and abroad. The ex- hibitors from out of the city were Peter Eeinberg, Chicago; John Breitmeyer's Sons, Detroit, and the Washington Flo- ral Co., Washington, Pa. The home ex- hibitors were Blind Brothers, L. I. NeflF, John Wyland, Pittsburg Eose & Carna- tion Co., Mr. Zimmerman, Mr. Jenkin- son, A. R. Peacock's gardener, and Mr. Frazier, H. C. Frick's gardener. Schen- ley park exhibited some fine specimen flowers of cineraria, also some bulbous stock. Taken as a whole the stock was superb and one could hardly make any comparison, although some were disap- pointed in not getting a chance to see Richmond. The bulb stock was taken up last, as there were three agents of the Dutch bulb growers present and they wanted to be given an opportunity to tell us a few things about bulbs. Presi- dent Langhans installed a question box, but the time was too short to answer the many questions; they will be given at the next meeting. He also had one of the Helios-Upton registering thermome- ters in order to let the members examine it. He believes the club should endeavor to educate the members in anything that is new or to their advantage to know. Various Notes. There can be no complaint about the first week of Lent only that prices are about as low as one would care to see them go. We understand a scheme is on foot to start a growers' market in this section, where they can rent stall room and sell their own stock. Tlie roses sent to the club by out- side parties were turned over to Mr. Fal- coner for use at the Botanical Society which met last Thursday night. John Orth, of McKeesport, is branch- ing out and will incorporate as the Mc- Keesport Floral Co. They will build two 300-foot houses at once. Hoo-Hoo. lihrysanffiemum Price List, 1905 EABZiT — R.

I have a return tubular boiler ten feet long and three feet in diameter, with twenty-eight 3-inch tubes. It heats 5,500 feet of glass, 1,650 feet of 4-inch pipe, TO 50 degrees at night. Will it heat 2,000 feet more glass, or 450 feet more 4-inch pipe? The boiler is two feet bolow the level of the ground, using the up-hill f.)Kt.em. •"• ^' ^• The load you propose for your boiler is a little too heavy for it in severe weather. It will undoubtedly handle the additional 450 feet of piping during ordinary weather, but it will give it a severe test to maintain the heat in 2,100 feet of 4-inch pipe during extreme weather. The boiler is capable of carry- ing about 2,000 feet of radiation and 2,100 feet of 4-inch pipe is equivalent to 2,457 square feet of radiation, an overload of about 460 square feet of radiation. It will be noted from this that the piping you already have is only Bligblly short of the full capacity of the boiler. I^ C. C. AMERICAN ROSE SOOETY.

The Weekly Florists' Review* i 995 The Need for Space. Until Easter relieves the congestion we are usually very crowdedj^^ and partic- ularly so this spring, as Easter is so late. Now, if we can add only ten per cent to our bench capacity it will be a great relief, for it will enable us to give a little more room to all our fast-growing, soft-wooded bedding plants. By the first of April you can trust any cold-blooded plant like car- nations in a cold frame. In fact, there is no better place for them, and lots of other things, providing you have mats or shutters for the cold nights. The Good Old Hotbed. There is a dislike with many florists for the old-fashioned hotbed. It is labor, but what can you get worth having with- out labor? The material of the hotbed, after its usefulness is over, if thrown up in a pile and allowed to decompose, is worth to you for material at the pot- ting bench far more than all the labor of making the beds and cost of manure, etc. Some may say "we can't have those hotbeds on our place; they are too un- sightly. ' ' There is no unsightliness about them if neatly made. It seems at the writer's age that so simple a thing as making a hotbed should be known to every man who owns a light of glass, yet looking around we see some who do not know. If your subsoil is gravel and you can excavate eighteen inches or two feet without fear of water lying in the pit, then that would be the best method of making a hotbed, because there would be less cooling, but seldom without a drain can we excavate even one foot in the spring without being troubled with water. However, making the beds on the dry surface of the ground will be found quite satisfactory. You will know the size of the sash and also how many sash you want to put up. Suppose you want twelve sash in a row and three rows, allowing eighteen inches between each run of sash and two feet all around the whole exterior. You can figure this out to a few inches and if you want to be nice and tidy put in some 2x4 posts every three or four feet and two boards high, and all your heating material is inside this enclosure. The Material for Heat. The material can be straw manure from the stable and the fresher the bet- ter, but not just brought from the stable, dumped into a pile or leveled off and thought to be a hotbed. If you did it that way it would heat most violently for a week or two and then quickly sub- side. The manure should be turned over at least twice before it is allowed to burn. Now is the time to add other ma- terial to the stable manure. Leaves of last fall can be added, if not too much decayed; and refuse hops, if convenient- ly procured, are a great thing to heat and will also retain the heat. Half stable manure one-fourth hops and one-fourth leaves is an ideal mixture, but you can get along with the stable litter alone. Spread six inches of the material evenly over the whole space and tread it well down; another six-inch layer and so on until you have a depth of two feet. How- ever well it is trodden, it will be sure to sink six inches in a few weeks. One important item do not forget: If in spreading these layers of material any of it is the least bit dry, give it a good sprinkling with the hose. The whole mass should be moist. Size of the Frame. The frame to hold the sash we make fifteen inches deep in front and eighteen inches at back and of a size to hold four sash, with a rafter for the sash to run on. If you do not put in the rafters you will every now and then have a sash dropping down on your plants. Best the frames on the manure in their place and see that they don't "wind" and are square. Exercise a mechanic's eye for once. Then we tread in a few more inches of manure in the frames. Use a foot of well trodden down manure in the paths between the frames and all around the outside of the frames. Then lay a foot-board in the paths to walk on. In two days put in six inches of soil; any old, light soil that has previously been used will do. This is for plunging the plants in. Some might say they plants into them, only never neglect ventilation when the beds are new, for when the sun shines and the bed has a brisk heat there is in a short while such a temperature as only a cast-iron sala- mander could endure; but that would be neglect, not gardening. Covers for Coid Nights. Provide yourseilf with some means of covering these sash on chilly nights, for the plants are only a few inches from the glass. Double sash is an excellent thing, but shutters, old carpets, or best of all straw mats may oe used. The difference between plants plunged and those just stood on the surface is re- markable for robustness and rapid growth. There is also some other influ- ence at work with these plants in a hot- bed more than just heat and moisture and that must be the effect of ammonia on the foliage. In fact, so rampant is the growth of some plants that it is a mistaKO to put them in a hotbed. The petunia is one that makes altogether too much growth. Since the erection of acres of perma- nent glass structures in the north for the exclusive use of growing lettuce, cucum- bers, etc, in winter and spring, and the shipping of early vegetables from the sunny south, this primitive greenhouse, the hotbed, is not so much seen with our market gardeners, but that interfer- ence does not occur with our tender bed- ding plants and I claim that a green- house man who grows a general stock can add largely to his income by having a number of good substantial cold frames and from April 1 to June a good lot of hotbeds. Not only do they con- siderably add to your growing capacity, but some plants do so very much better in them. Uses for the Hotbed. Zonal geraniums, which should now or shortly be shifted in to the 4-inch pots. Cyclamen, Freesias and Lorraines at Bayard Thayer's, So. Lancaster, Mass. (William ^DderBon, Gardener.) would for this purpose use tan bark or ashes or saw-dust. Either will do, but the compost you are going to get from these spent hotbeds would not be as good as if you used loam. These beds may heat very strongly for the first four or five days, but in a week you can put we do not put into the hotbeds because they would grow too much to leaf and too little to flower. In early April you can put into the hotbed all other gera- niums, the sweet scented varieties, also the variegated and bronze and the use- ful little Mme.

The latter will make as much growth in three weeks as it will in three months on the benches of any greenhouse. Coleus and achyranthes in 3-inch pots in the hotbeds by the end of April will make far finer and more useful plants for bedding than any greenhouse-grown plants. Advantage of Hotbeds. There is a period, in our climate usual- ly from early in May to planting out time, when firing is often neglected. We have dropped it on account of a very warm spell and when it turns cool and rainy we say, "Oh, this won't last. We won't bother to fire up," and during this time there is immense damage done. Pe- tals drop, foliage damps and such plants as coleus, that have been enjoying the artificial heat, just stand still or rather they go back. Now this does not occur with plants in a hotbed, even if the heat is pretty well spent. There is full light, air and some warmth at the roots and they do not feel these cool, damp days. Another advantage vnth these plants in the hotbeds and cold frames is that on warm days and nights after the plants are as large as you want them, you can remove the sash entirely and liarden off these common plants and pre- pare them for bedding out better than are those from a greenhouse. Some flowering plants, notably the verbenas, will root through into the soil and grow BO fast they will be slow to flower and early in May it may be necessary to lift each plant, rub or cut off the roots which have grown through the pot and replace the plant in the same hole. This is little more labor than moving over plants on the bench, which you would be sure to have to do at least once inside. Valley for Easter. There is one important flower, lily of the vaUey, that requires a good three weeks to fully open and a few days more will be all the better. You' do not give them quite as much bottom heat now and they will take as long to develop as they did in January. They should be cut a day or so before sold and if you were a few days early they keep cut finely, so do not be late. Murillo Tulips. So much depends on weather, but what ever we get, do not get late with that grandest of all tulips, Murillo. Either in pans or cut it is the Easter tulip. They are in perfection when fully out and turning from white to the lovely blush pink. They are better brought along cool, so bring them in twenty- three or twenty-four days before Easter, William Scott. CARNATION NOTES.-EAST. Late Propagation. While January and February are the two months in which ideal conditions prevail for successful propagation, it is now by no means too late to increase stock of most varieties. I do not wish to be understood as advocating late prop- agation, but it is often impossible with a limi:cl number of plants to secure the desired amount of cuttings unless at the expense of quality. Under these cir- cumstances there need be no hesitation in the matter, as cuttings taken from the sand during the first half of April, and grown right along, will at lifting time prove very desirable stock. Even though you may have enough already rooted to meet your needs, an extra thousand or two propagated at this time, being but a short while in the house and requiring little added la- bor in the field, may be said to cost next to* nothing and are very likely to turn out a valuable asset. Having a sur- plus to select from at housing time you are able to obtain a more even stand of plants, a decided advantage over be- ing obliged to use undersized or ill- shaped specimens, which at best usually drag along like a cow's tail — always be- 'Kind. I do not mean to advise growing these in any sense as a catch crop but to use the same care in selection of cuttings, etc., as would be exercised earlier in the season. Experience has taught us that late propagated stock can be handled very nicely by pricking into flats. When ready to plant out, take the flats to the field, cut out the plants, setting imme- diately. Given a swallow of water, they will not skip a minute. I have seen cuttings subjected to the heroic treatment of being taken from the sand and at once planted in the field but never saw anything very startling in the way of plants or bloom produced by this method. Treatment of cuttings in the sand will not materially differ from the usual mode of procedure, although as the season advances due allowance must be made for more rapid evaporation. When inserting in the sand give about double the usual space between rows, also in the row, and if you are not in the habit of trimming the leaves of your cuttings, at least try the plan on your last batch. Lawson. Leaving out all theory, it is a mat- ter of fact that there is a limit to the strain that any carnation will stand and American eagerness to get all there is, in the shortest possible time, will prove the rule. Lawson will be no exception. This variety is by no means perfect and its defects will be overcome in the va- rieties destined to take its place. Geo. S. Osborn. -eABNATION NCfTES.-WESTr Tlie Spring Cut. During the last week or two we have been having very spring-like weather and it has had its effect on the stock and the market. With the thermometer up in the sixties in the shade and the sun shining brightly the carnation buds fair- ly burst open and the cut is doubled in spite of everything we can do. If you had enough to supply your trade before, you will be sure to have too many un- der such weather conditions and it keeps the grower guessing what to do with them. You can not store them long this warm weather, and besides, there are more coming each day. The sun is get- ting too strong to leave them on the plants after they have opened, so the only thing you can do is to cut every day, just as thouglvyou had orders for every bloom that is open, and use on your orders what you need. Put the surplus in as cool a room as you have (a dry cellar is an ideal place) and hold them ready for possible orders. But be careful that you do not send out blooms that have been held too long. You will find that blooms which have been in a cool cellar three or four days will not stand handling like fresh cut stock which has been in water a few hours. You may think they look very fine and large, and so they do, but they are soaked full of water and every little knock causes a bruise and very little handling will knock them to pieces. The difference is that the freshly opened bloom is still growing and producing tissue, while the other is already starting to deteriorate. Light Sfiading Necessary. All the bright colored varieties, and I might say all the colored sorts, will be •benefited now by a little shade on the glass, especially Lawson, Enchantress and a few others that bleach easily. You do not need much shade but just enough to break the sun a little. Too much will make your stock soft and in- ferior. Eemember that you are not putting on the shade to benefit the plants, because it is not of the least bene- fit to them, but rather a detriment. The plants would prefer the full sunshine. So you want to get along with just as little shading as possible, always. A little you must do, however, to save the color in the blooms. This early you should not put on a permanent shade. There may come weeks in a stretch of rainy weather, when you will want all the light you can get, so it is best to put on something that will wash off easi- ly, and put on another coat the next bright spell, until you get bright, warm weather for good. Don't use a mud shade, as it darkens too much and, if applied several times within a short time, it will form a film on the glass which will have to be scrubbed off except in freezing weather. We use air-slaked lime and put it on with a sprayer. You can do ten houses this way in the same time it would take to paint a strip down each row of glass with a brush, and it is better, too. A little practice will teach you to handle the spraver so you will get it on about the same all over. Airing and Spraying. Give all the air you can but avoid draughts on the plants, as that will cause thera^to flag. Spray lightly overhead- n&etween ten and eleven o'clock each morning and wet down the walks where the sun strikes them. Don't let this spraying be in the form of a syringing, as there is a great difference between the two. It would not be wise to syringe every day, as you would have your plants ~-j;iCT=^T^B?W?'S?'H?W'3sT?T«rTT" March 23, 1905. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 997 wet too much, but hold the nozzle high over the plants and make _ a fine mist merely to charge the air with moisture. It should show very little water on the plants when you finish. "Wbter carefully and watch along the edge of the beds, especially on the south side. There is no longer much danger of over-watering, for several reasons. The plants are large and need lots of water to keep them going, while the roots are all through the soil, and together with the sweetening sunshine they will keep the soil from souring. At the same time you do not want to become careless, but try to keep them just well supplied. A severe drying out during such weather as we are having now will soon tell on the quality of your stock. Feeding. An occasional dose of liquid manure will help, too, to keep up the quality. A half bushel of cow manure tolerably green to fifty gallons of water is about what you want. If you have a tank and steam pump, as many large growers have, you will find it a less onerous task. Even a hand force-pump will facilitate the work wonderfully. Apply once each week, but do it regularly if you com- mence it. Otherwise it will be better to put on a mulch of half rotted cow ma- nure about an inch thick. A. F. J. Baur. CARNATION MELODY. Melody is one of the numerous sports of Mrs. Lawson. It originated in 1903 at the establishment of the late W. C. Hill, at Streator, 111., and is a pleasing shade of Daybreak pink. It has shown no tendency to revert to the Lawson color and when shown at recent Chicago exhibitions has made a very favorable impression. As with other Lawson sports, the claim is made for this that the flowers are larger, stems longer, blooms earlier and more freely than the original variety. It is a good keeper and shipper and holds its color well. The Hill Floral Co. reports no burst calyxes up to March 15, and the houses were run more often at 52 than 54 degrees. Melo- dy is to be sent out next season by the Hill Floral Co. and the J. D. Thompson Carnation Co. The three principal va- rieties to be planted this year by the Hill Floral Co. will be Melody, White Lawson and Mrs. Lawson. AMERICAN CARNATION SOCIETY. Registering Sports. Prior to the advent of Lawson, car- nation sports were of such rare occur- rence that when one did occur, it could be named and claimed by the grower with whom it occurred as his origination, or at least as his exclusive stock. Since Lawson and its descendants have <;ome into existence, all claims to ex- clusiveness in the ownership of a sport must be laid aside, as it no longer exists. Much evidence of this fact could be sup- plied, but it is not necessary to go be- yond the White Lawson. With how many ■growers did this appear in one yearT Answer-this for yourself and yoU-Mve the answer to all the other?. Today we are having the same thing in l<.n- chantress and M. A. Patten.

(A Daybreak pink sport of Mrs. Lawson.) ing sold exactly for what they are. White Lawson, Red Lawson and Varie- gated Lawson. There are true pink l.awsons and light pink Lawsons and Enchantress sports and Patten sports galore to come and it is to be hoped that the growers will con- Bult their own interests and avoid con- fusion by leaving off all special names and selling them for Pure Pink Lawson and Light Pink Lawson, following with a description of their color, etc. Two of these light pink Lawsons have been registered through an oversight of "yours truly" and several more are claiming recognition, so that there would be endless confusion in this color alone if they were given independent names with each grower with whom they occur, and on the strength of these facts this society cannot in the future register any sports excepting under a descriptive and uniform name. The three Lawson sports being offered commercially have also been shown at the meetings of this society and at various club shows. This is not only commer- cial wisdom on the part of the owners, but the only way in which they can be properly disseminated. To show them before this society is the one and only way in which to get them before all of the best carnation growers at one time, and next to that, in order to reach a still greater number, the various club shows can be used. As an illustration, if Smith shows^ his Light Pink Lawson at Boston next meet- ing and it strikes me as a good thing, I would buy my cuttings from Smith, no matter if Jones, who claimed to have the same thing, but did not show it. w^ould offer it at half the price asked by Smith. Albert M. Herb, Sec'y. HANDLING CARNATION BLOOMS. ;- [A paper by John Birnle. read before the New York Fl^Vlsts' Club. March 13, 1905 ] I don't suppose you expected me to read a paper to you tonight, but I was afraid I would be in the same fix as the old Scotch elder, who on one occa- sion went out with the "boys," got a little "under the weather," and got home just in time for family prayers. He knelt down beside his wife, but nothing being audible, she asked him what was the matter. He replied, ' ' Nothing is the matter with me, but I canna min' a word of my prayers." So, being afraid I would not remember what I wanted to say, I wrote it down. The question put to me is: "What is the most valuable characteristic of the carnation?" I say without hesi- tation, its keeping or lasting qualities, for of what value are all its other char- acteristics, color, fragrance, etc., if it goes to sleep a few hours after leaving the grower's establishment t That is the specific answer to the question but I do not consider that the answer would be complete without touching briefly on the cause or causes of the carnation going to sleep. Much has been said on this subject, so that it is pretty hard to say anything new. However^ the fact remains that some carnations go to slecip, and it is up to those who grow and those who handle the carnation to find out the cause and apply the remedy. That the grower himself is responsible ■ V'--t./ 998 The Weekly Florists' Review. Mabch 23, 1905. in some cases cannot be denied. Over- feeding, especially with chemical manures, will put the carnations to sleep even on the plants. I have seen instances of it. Heavy fumigating has the same effect. Allowing inexperi- enced help to pick the flowers, improper ventilation, keeping the houses too hot, either night or day, and injudicious watering, are some of the causes that the grower is responsible for. Of the causes above I think over- feeding is the most common. The keep- ing qualities are sacrificed in the at- tempt to get large flowei-s. Next comes over-heating. I read lately that En- chantress gave the best results at 56 or 37 degrees night temperature! I am sure carnations grown under those conditions must suffer, both in strength of stem and keeping qualities. Picking the flowers is also an import- ant matter. Some varieties can be left on the plants until fully developed, while others are better when picked before they are quite open. This the grower finds out by studying the vari eties he grows. Flowers in which the female organs are abnormally developed are more apt to go to sleep than those without that peculiarity, more espe- cially in fall and spring, when consider- able ventilation is necessary, and the pollen is carried around by the wind or by insects. But the trouble does not all rest with the grower by any means. The com- mission man has to take his share of the blame. A visit to the average wholesale store in the morning rush hours will give the grower a jar, for there he will see the flowers he has watched over and cared for for months, to the best of his ability, handled in no gentle manner. The flowers that he picked and made haste to get into water, packed as carefully as he could, the boxes put on the express wagon as if they were full of eggs, the express- man told that he must be extremely careful, are in some stores lying on the counters and under the counters in heapSk Sometimes they may lie for hours, and if eventually they are put in water, so many are put in a pot that the flowers have no chance to develop and the limit is reached only when the vase will hold no more stems. That the carnation will recuperate and improve after being taken from the shipping box goes without saying, a case in point happening in our own club some years ago when we met in Elks' hall. A carnation was sent from near Boston to be judged by our award committee. It was unpacked in the ante-room, taken into the club room and received 85 points. About an hour af- ter one of the committee called the attention of his colleagues to the fact that the flower was better than when it was passed upon. They therefore re-examined it and gave it 87 points. This happening before the advent of the canteen, due weight can be given to the circumstances. One important matter which does not seem to be fully recognized, either by the grower or commission man, is the fact that some carnations are more deli- cate than others and require far more care, both in packing and handling. En- chantress is one of these, I believe, if it is properly picked, packed and handled -it will stay awake as long as the aver- age carnation. I have kept it in my own sitting-room for ten days in good ' shape. Marquis was another good flower that had to secumb to rough handling. The carnation is no doubt the most popular flower in commerce at the pres- ent time, and will certainly retain that popularity if due care is given to the handling of it. The grower is constant- ly improving his methods at great ex- pense to himself, as is shown by the improvement in the carnation in the last fifteen years. Is the distributer im- proving his methods at the same ratef Is he as particular about ventilating his store as the grower is about ventilating his greenhouse or flower room? Does he put the flowers consigned to him into water as soon as he can after receiving themf Does he pay any attention at all to the temperature of his store? Does he understand that all carnations, in fact, all flowers, require gentle handling? Does he see that his employes handle the flowers as they should be handled? In short, does the average distributer give the same care to the flower as does the average grower? Are we still "look- ing," as Mr. Simpson said last rose night, "for some Moses to lead us out of the land of Egypt?" CULTURE FOR RED SPORT. A. B. Davis & Son, Purcellville, Va.^ send out the following cultural details: We have bad numerous Inquiries from par- ties who have bought rooted cuttings of Red Sport (of Maceo), and from others interested in the variety, as to the best method of culture- for this carnation to insure a full crop of bloom for Cbrlstmaa. Fair success may be had with this variety from field-grown plants if housed by July 25, but It takes good cultivation in the field to- malse large plants by early housing time, but after brought inside it takes bold very quickly. Bed Sport is an Ideal carnation for all bouse culture, which fact we accidentally discovered. We bad a batch taken from the sand too late to plant in the field, so^ they were planted on the bench from thumb pots In June. This batch gave us an average of better than two fine blooms to the plant for Christmas. Plant In a moderately enriched compost 8x10 inches apart on the bench, and as soon as the plants are maklnc; good growth, mulch with ii half Inch of leaf-mold or well rotted manure. Keep well stopped back until the first of .Sontember, by which time the plants wil have made fifteen to twenty-five strong leads, a large proportion of which will bloom around the rhrlstmas holidays and the early winter months. We grow it in a night temperature of B? ilecrees. This variety requires 36 inches of head room. ,j.,«.^;**#V*'if'j*'**'M*»-'iJ.:^,,., BEST COMMERCIAL SORTS. I notice in today 's Eeview Mr. Totty 's notes entitled "Best Mums in England" and am much interested but would sug- gest that an even better subject would be the "Best Mums in America." By this I do not mean the best exhibition sorts; not one florist in a hundred ex- hibits for prizes the blooms he grows. But tell us the best sorts to grow to meet market requirements and don't list a lot of novelties; we cannot af- ford to stock up on expensive sorts. Tell us what sorts made the most money for the growers for the wholesale market last season. There is another large class of growers who retail their own cut. Most of them do not have "fancy" trade and what they want is the varie- ties which will pay best. And the head room needed is another important item, for many of us grow our mums in old, low houses. H. 0. I will do my best to answer H. 0., though in so doing I do not suppose that everyone will agree with my list of varieties, nor does it follow as a mat- ter of course that what suits one market will suit all. The kinds here submitted are what seem to be most largely grown for this market (New York), though it does not follow that the kinds most large- ly grown are the most profitable. On the contrary, a grower who has a new thing or a variety not generally han- dled is far more likely to make money on his flowers, providing they have merit, than the man who will not touch any but the cheap, standard kinds, and this remark applies equally well to growers of other flowers. While it is true that Bonnaffon and Appleton are well Kked by the wholesale trade, since they can be handled rough- ly with impunity, one can have too much of even a good thing and the flower buy- ing public are sick and tired of the- eternal Bonnaffon long before the mum season ends and gladly turn to some- thing different if it be brought before them, even though the price be higher. In accordance with the request, I have omitted any of the high priced novel- ties. Duckham and Enguehard were nov- elties last year, it is true, but they are now so widely distributed that they can be bodght as cheaply as any. While indiscriminate buying of novel- ties is very poor business policy for a commercial grower, I have noticed for some years that the growers who are wide- awake and take in the shows and having, after due deliberation, made up their mind to "take a flyer" on some par- ticular variety that seemed to suit them, these same growers are the men who have the least to say about there being no money any more in mums. To return to our list, I have placed the varieties in the order of their flowering and the height to which they attain under ordinary commercial cultivation. Whites. Flowers by Height, ft.

Old dark houses also, owing to the smaller amount of light, cause plants to make a taller growth than they would in a more mod- ern house. Consequently the heights as given are only approximate. The three colors given represent the bulk of the flowers sold, though some run more or less on odd colors and seem to do well at it. Thus in the bronze sec- tion, Kate Broomhead, Donald McLeod and Harrison Dick are ready sellers, as they light up finely. In crimsons, while Shrimpton is most largely grown, there is not so much call any more. H. J. .Tones has brought us in good money in tHifi cl&,ss The variety that sold for the highest price in New York last fall was W. Duck- ham, which wholesaled as high as $9 per dozen. I have been informed that re- sults with commercial growers around Chicago were not so satisfactory because many of them took the late bud instead of the crown. This could easily be reme- died another year. All the other varie- ties are well known and need no com- ment. X XT n In closing I would suggest to ti- ^• not to stick too closely to what the other fellow grows. Try a little variety on your own account.

At a meeting of the New Orleans Horticultural Society a discussion arose as to what redress the receiver of a worthless shipment of cut flowers or plants would have. Most of the florists receive their shipments C. O. D., with- out the privilege of inspection, la many cases flowers arrive in a damaged or worthless condition, the express com- pany collects the money and the con- signee is the loser. Experience teaches us that when flow- ers are in proper condition for long dis- tance shipping and care is taken im packing they arrive in good condition and will last in a good refrigerator for several days. Carnations and roses have often been held for a week in salable condition. This proves beyond a doubt that something was wrong with the flowers that arrive in bad condition with the ice compartment intact on arrival. The Express company, which usually gets the blame from the shipper, is exonerated as long as a piece of ice arrives in the box. Either the flowert were not long enough in water before shipping or they were too far advanced when cut. The latter seems to be the main trouble and can easily be avoided. The New Orleans Horticultural So- ciety has taken action on this question. Thb Rkview is all right, the best paper.— C. L. Baum, Knoxville, Tenn. Bulbous Stock at E. Sutermeister's, Readville, Mass. HW£',> '''^•iV ••f?V^;;i^ 1000 Ttic Weekly Florists' Review. Mabch 23, 1906. A committee of three was appointed, to whom every case is to be submitted when flowers or plants arrive i*^,bad condition. The committee will%ll>pect the shipment and fix the blame, if pos- •ible, and will assist the receiver of bad lots to recover his loss, be it partial or total. The names of shippers, good and bad, will be brought before the meeting and their methods discussed. Impartiality and justice are the princi- ples on which the committee will act. A great improvement of conditions, for which there is ample room, will be ex- pected. A shipper of an honest pack&gii can- not reasonably refuse inspec^n of goods before he demands payment. When American Beauties arrive with a beautiful purplish hue they are ripe for the dump and the shipper of such flowers knew full well how old they were when packed. When the outside petals of Brides and Maids are decayed and the flower opens fully the moment it is lifted from the box, it is time to rush it to some charitable institu- tion as a gift, provided it does not drop before it gets there. We know that with carnations there are a number of circumstances not altogether within the control of the shipper that may cause the flowers to go to sleep; but in many cases loss can be avoided by careful selection for long distance shipping and as far as New Orleans is concerned shippers will have to be very careful in the future if they want to hold and increase their trade in the Crescent City. New Orleans is a large buyer of cut flowers and relies for her supply entirely on the North. Not a rose or carnation is grown in New Orleans. The receiver of a bad lot cannot go to the wholesaler and buy; he is utterly helpless, loses his stock and is unable to supply his trade. These are the con- ditions that compelled the New Orleans florists to take some action in the mat- ter for mutual information and protec- tion. Personal letters to some of the larger shippers have been fruitful of good results, promises have been made, which, if adhered to by the shippers, are bound to increase their New Or- leans trade. What has been said in regard to flow- ers holds good for plant shipments. Ex- press rates to extreme distances are high and a lack of judgment on the part of the shipper has cost us many a hard-earned dollar. Many a time we pay expressage at the rate of $4 to $5 per hundred pounds on boxes three times their necessary weight, and for balls of beautiful, rich soil, sawdust and paper, doubling and trebling the original cost of plants. And now the plants themselves! How do they some- times compare with the high-sounding adjectives of the dealer t It is for such cases that the committee is appointed and no doubt its vigilance will effect an improvement in existing conditions. E. [New Orleans, being without a home supply of roses and carnations, is ut- terly dependent upon the northern wholesalers. If the committee of the Horticultural Society is arbitrary in its action it may place the New Orleans florists in a position where their orders will be ignored, especially in times of scarcity. As a matter of fact, every wholesaler is ready to treat a reason- able customer fairly, but the methods jrMch have been practiced by aqste buyers (we hope and believe they are not members of the fraternity in good standing there) had some time ago caused certain shippers to decline all New Orleans business except when cash came with the order. Where a buyer refuses a C. O. D. it tends to discredit not only that party but any other buyer in the town who is not weH known. The spring is a good time to try on the plan of the society, but it may prove a two-edged sword next fall. — Ed.] PROPAGATING IN THE OPEN. Would you please instruct a beginner how to root rose cuttings in the open ground? G. W. J. Select a piece of ground which would be shaded during the warmest part of the day. Dig it and pulverize well, then make a narrow trench about seven inches deep and put about one inch of clean sand in the bottom. Select half-ripened wood from the cur- rent year's growth. This can be secured about two or three weeks after the plants have commenced to bloom. The cuttings should be from six inches to eight inches in length, with none of the eyes removed. Place the base of the cutting on the sand and fill up the trench with soil and tread it firmly. These can either be lifted and potted as soon as the roots are formed or be allowed to stand out during the winter and transplanted early in spring. Eibes. SEASONABLE NOTES. Preparing for Easter. The work of the next few weeks will largely consist oi caring for the young stock and preparing for the Easter trade. In order to make as good a show- ing as possible tying and training should not be neglected and particularly so where Beauties are the crop, as these, if the stems are allowed to become crooked, lose considerably in value and present but a poor appearance, however hand- some the bloom may be. Teas and hybrid teas also require con- siderable attention now that the spring growth is on. They should be carefully gone over and tied up so that each fiower stem and bud may be exposed to the light and sunshine and all laterals re- moved while they are young and soft and before they have had a chance to destroy the symmetry of the stem or use the nourishment which should be employed for the development of the bud. One of the most essential features to help make a good Easter showing is proper feeding at the proper time. When the young flower stems are six inches in length and until the buds show color, feeding can be indulged in ©ncie a weet if the weather is ordinarily bright, but should be discontinued it the weather is dark and cloudy. This is where the grower has to exercise his best judgment and avoid taking risks. Have your cool room clean and well ventilated and keep it at an even tem- perature, as it is just as necessary to be careful in this matter, if we wish the stock to ship in good shape, as it is to keep the temperature and ventila- tion right in the rosehouse if we desire high grade blooms. Above all make a resolution not to pickle the stock. Easter being late this year, pickled stock will be easily de- tected as soon as it is unpacked, thus causing disappointment to your cus- tomer, discredit to yourself and general all-round trouble. Stock which has been cut forty-eight hours and well handled is about the limit for safety. RiBES. THE GARDEN ROSES. [A paper by Tliomas PowtreBS. read before the Montreal Gardeners' and Florists' Club, March 6, 1906.] The subject that most appeals to my mind at the present time is that of the rose for outdoor cultivation, or what we may call hardy roses. By hardy I mean those varieties that I consider will stand the climate of Canada, in the Province of Quebec, and come through the winter to bloom as only the rose can bloom in the month of June. To take up this subject and treat it as it should be treated would occupy many nights and I will start with only a few simple facts concerning this very large, beautiful, and interesting family. There are supposed to be about 250 species but they may be brought down to about thirty or forty distinct species. Those I remember most distinctly (and probably some here may share that mem- ory) were the ones that used to grow by the lanes and in the heage-rows of the Old Country, the soft young shoots of which we boys used to consider a dainty morsel, the Bosa canina, or dog rose. Since then I have spent uays mak- ing cuttings from this same variety, which I consider the best stock for hardy roses, much better than the seedling brier or Manetti. The species that interests us most is Eosa centifolia, or the old cabbage rose, from which has sprung so many beauti- ful varieties, and while on this subject I may say that I am of opinion that a class of roses could be raised from the wild Canadian rose crossed with Hosa- .iiT'^.V-^. Mabcb 23, 1905. The Weekly Florists' Review. 100 spinosiBsima or Scotch rose, which is very hardy, and by again crossing with any hardy H. P., always using the native rose as seed bearer. A hybrid may be raised that would not require protection in winter. But this subject would have to be taken up and worked out by men with means and time, which the florists and gardeners have not to spare for it. I will now pass on to the hybrids with which we are familiar. First in point of numbers come the hybrid perpetual flow- ering, but I should not put that first in importance, as I consider that the new hybrid teas are the roses of the future, for freedom of flowering and beauty of flower. They combine the H. P. and teas , and I consider them an improvement on both, having the broad petals of the H. P. and the long bud of the tea, and they open out well in water when cut in the bud state in the morning. This is much in their favor, as roses do not stand the burning heat of a clear Canadian sum- mer day very well. In addition to the H. P. and H. T. there are hybrid China, hybrid Bourbon, hybrid polyantha, hy- brid rugosa and, last but not least, the hybrid sweet brier, handed down to us by Lord Penzance. Of the hybrid perpetuals I consider the following the best for this place, hav- ing proved them for two years, and some have been here for ten years and are strong and healthy now and throw oflf some very fine flowers: Alfred Colomb, Augustine Guinoisseau, Duke of Edin- burgh, Gen. Jacqueminot, Henrich Schultheis, Jules Margottin, John Hop- per, La France, La France de '89, Frau Karl Druschki, Margaret Dickson, Marie Baumann, Marquis de Castellane, Mrs. John Laing, Prince Camille de Bohan, ■Reynolds Hole, Ulrich Brunner and Vic- tor Hugo. Among hybrid teas I choose: Belle Siebrecht, Bessie Brown, Kaiserin Au- gusta Victoria, Mme. Chatenay, Caroline Testout, Sov. du Pres. Carnot, Duchess of Portland, Mildred Grant, Lady Moyra Beauclerc, Antoine Eivoire, Lady Bat- tersea and Marquise Litta. Of hardy teas and Noisettes I select Anna Ollivier, Catherine Mermet, Fran- cisca Kruger, Hon. Edith Giflford, Jean Ducher, Mme. Hoste, Maman Cochet, L. Ideale and Mme. Pierre Cochet. The best hybrid Bourbon is Mme. Isaac Pierre and the best hybrid China fiorts are Laurette, Messimy and Mme. Eugene Besal. The best polyantha Ram- blers are Thalia, Helene, Euphrosne Crimson, Aglaia and Dorothy Perkins. The best polyanthas are Anne Marie de Montravel, Cecile Brunner, Gloire des Polyantha, Mignonette, Perle de Or and Paquerette. The best moss roses are Blanch Moreau, Crested moss and Rosa rugosa. Among crimson and white are Striped Provence and York and Lancas- ter. The new single tea roses of Messrs. Dickson are a class by themselves and are very free flowering; some of them are Irish Beauty, Irish Modesty, Irish Pride, Brightness, Star and Glory. They are also' the beautiful sweet briers of Lord Penzance. I know I have omitted a great many good things but the foregoing varieties would make up a very choice selection. As regards culture, I consider roses should have a garden to themselves m any place, large or small. They want a sheltered spot, but not under trees. Any situation that has a wind-break will suit them. They like plenty of air bu^jwiU The Late Charles T. Siebert. not stand the full force of a west wind blowing them and bruising their young shoots. The soil is a very important item in rose culture. If the natural soil is very light I would advise that some very heavy clay loam be well mixed with it. If the light soil can be removed al- together, BO much the better, and a com- post of loam and rotted manure made to take its place. The ground should be trenched two and a half feet deep and cow manure mixed with the subsoil and then eighteen inches of the compost put over the surface. The autumn is the best time to prepare the ground — and the spring to plant. While planting have at hand a barrow- ful of soil well pulverized, make a hole for each plant and use the soil to plant in, taking care the roots do not come in contact with any manure. Many failures result from this cause, as when the plant throws out young roots they strike the manure instead of soil and, the manure being too strong for them, they just die away again. Deep planting should be avoided. This often causes failure. It is better too light than too deep. As far as I have been able to judge, the union of the plant should be about an inch below the surface of the soil. Of course I am speaking of roses on seed- ling briers or brier cuttings, stock which I consider the best to use. The roots should be cut back with a sharp knife to about nine inches and bruised or broke;n roots removed altogether. After planting, the ground rouiid the plants should be made as firm as possible by treading. Now for pruning. This again requires care, and judgment. If the plant is pruned too hard there will be too many blind shoots robbing the plant and do- ing no good. If the plant be at all weak- ly it will require harder pruning, but a vigorous strong plant would possibly do best with lighter treatment. I think pruning should^be^done^as^arly as pos- sible; that is, as soon as they can possi- bly be uncovered. If the sap is flowing freely the plant will bleed badly and weaken itself. It is impossible to say exactly when to uncover the roses, but the end of March, a fortnight earlier or later, according to season, is about right. I will not deal with insect pests, as you are all familiar with them, and the remedies. Our mode of covering for the winter has been to first bank up the plants with six or eight inches of soil, taken from between the rows, then peg down the shoots in a row, or tie the first one to a stake and tie each rose to its neighbor. Then put on a heavy mulch of strawy manure, with the droppings well shaken out of it. This is to pre- vent heating should the weather turn mild. It is better to uncover as early as possible after the snow goes. Soses will bear 15 to 20 degrees of frost. THE LATE CHAS. T. SIEBERT. Charles T. Siebert was bom in Pitts- burg, June 28, 1852. and died March 7, 1905. Mr. Siebert, after leaving college, tried the jewelry business, but having a great love for plants and flowers, soon went with Peter Henderson to learn the florists ' business. He started in the busi- ness for himself early in the seventies on Stanton avenue, Pittsburg, and continued in the same location until his death. While he made a specialty of carnations, he took great pride in a finely construct- ed greenhouse and introduced many orig- inal ideas, among others the Siebert glazing point, which has been on the market for some years. He had been ail- ing with a nervous complaint for several years, but probably owing to his bright, cheery disposition, his death was never thought of and came as a shock to his many friends. He left a wife, two sons and one daughter.

K' ; For several years my sweet and veget- able peas have died more or less in spots after having attained some growth, fre- quently just about the time they are be- ginning to bloom or later. Sometimes it may be caused by their being too dry, but not always, as they sometimes die during wet weather or when watered artificially. I try to change their loca- tion as much as I can, but this is dif- ficult, as ground is somewhat limited. Do you think the quality or quantity of manure in the soil might have anything to do with it? Is it a good plan to mulch with manure or straw during hot weather? If so please state kind, quan- tity and time best for application. I shall be grateful for any information you can give me. S.- P. S. We do not think it has anything to do with the weather. If it had, the trouble would not be in spots. It is more likely a cut worm feeding on the roots or the larvae of some moth or insect brought there with the manure. The growers of the grandest sweet peas we ever saw prepare the trenches in the fall, working in to the depth of a foot a very liberal allowance of animal manure. Then in the spring the seed is sown just as soon as the surface of the soil in the trench is dry enough. If you want a large and continuous picking of the de- licious green peas with your spring lamb, the ground is always well manured. About the mulching, it is a great help to the sweet pea grower to spread two or three inches of straw litter from the stable over the whole surface between the rows of peas, not that there is much benefit from it as a fertilizer, but it is a mulch, keeps the ground moist and prevents it being trodden into a hard pan when picking the flowers. There is no need of putting this mulch on until just before the first flowers appear. If it is a cut worm or grubs that eat the roots, then a heavy dressing of slaked lime just after digging may kill them or make them vacate. W. S. MOVING LARGE PALMS. The conservatories at Lincoln park, Chicago, have for many years been the Mecca for visitors from all over the world. The collection of plants is one of the largest and best in this country. Especially attractive is the natural ef- fect in the large palm house, where a representation of a tropical forest ex- cites much interest. Many of the large palms in this house, planted thirteen years ago, have grown to enormous size and are grand speci- mens. They had so approached the glass and become so thick that their quarters were entirely inadequate and gave rise to the consideration of means by which the lives of valuable specimens might be prolonged. Some were removed and oth- U : i (.. Moving a Gigantic Phoenix. ir.ii' ' :(Froina flaahllght photograph t&kejL at Lincoln Park. ChlcaKOj_ ers were successfully lowered, thereby gaining headroom. The accompanying illustrations show the process of moving a great Phoenix reclinata of forty feet spread which stood on a bank five feet above the level of the walk and has been lowered fifteen feet. It was a painstaking, yet simple operation. The first act was to remove about fifty of the enormous- leaves, fifteen to twenty feet long from the point where they were severed. A heavy rope was then wound around the great stem just below the leaves and a rope and block attached on each side, the tackle being carried to the heavy iron girders of the roof, soi as to partially support the plant. At the other sides two guide ropes were attached. Then the excavation began. All around the plant a ditch was dug from two to four feet wide, leaving a ball of earth about ten feet in diameter. When this work had progressed to a depth of about eight feet the plant was carefully undermined, being allowed to settle inch by inch from its own weight, as support- ing it by the tackle would have been an unnecessary strain on the house, for the ball and plant weighed fully ten tons. The ropes were necessary, however, to avoid all danger of the plant falling over at any stage of the work. Had it been desired to move the plant any distance this would have been the stage of the work at which to have introduced a truck under the ball. In this case, however, the excavation was continued, also the undermining operation, until fifteen feiet below the starting point and the plant was in the desired position. The roots, which had, of course, been severely cut back by the operation, were cleanly trimmed with a sharp pruning shears and as the soil was filled In around the ball a hose was kept running to wash the soil well in around the roots. Head gardener A. P. Frey, under whose supervision the work was done, says that the plant showed very little sign of suf- fering and that its life is assured for many years to come. MASSACHUSETTS GARDENERS. Dr. C G, Weld, Brookline. W. C. Rust has some fine ranges of glass on the Weld estate and his stock is in fine condition. In carnations Law- son, Patten and Enchantress are favor- ites and look well. In the rose house Golden Gate, Bride, Bridesmaid and Wootton are grown. Both Campbell and Princess of Wales violets looked fine. A house of cinerarias and cyclamens ar- ranged for effect made a gorgeous show. The plants showed excellent culture. Hard-wooded plants are grown in quan- tity. Some fine specimen acacias and ericas were flowering. Others were be- ing held back for the coming show. Quite a number of orchids are grown. A batch of phalsenopsis looked especially good and were flowering well, especially Schilleriana. Geo. F. Fabyan, BrookUne.

Vegetable forcers will be interested in the note on W. W. Eawson's place in the Boston letter in this issue. The Chicago market has been heavily supplied with mushrooms this season and returns have not been satisfactory. Stock put up in fancy packages has fared the best. At about this season of the year there generally comes an advance in the value of lettuce in the principal mar- kets. At Chicago the price of leaf let- tuce has doubled within a fortnight, due to lighter receipts. Forcers of vegetables under glass will gain some idea, from the note on winter market gardening in Texas, published on the Seed Trade pages in this issue, of the competition they are now only begin- ning to feel, for the industry in the south is in its infancy. In the New York market there are gathered vegetables from widely sepa- rated sources. For instance, tomatoes art offered from Florida, Cuba, Califor- nia and local greenhouse grown. The latter fetch from 10c to 30c per pound, as against $1 to $4 per carrier for the outdoor product. VEGETABLE MARKETS. Chicago, March 22. — Head lettuce, $2 to $5 bbl. ; leaf lettuce, 35e to 40c; cu- cumbers, 35c to $1.75 doz.; cauliflower, $2.75 bbl.

CONFINING TOMATO ROOTS. The consensus of opinion among toma- to growers is that a certain confinement of the roots of tomato plants is neces- sary to the best development of the crop, but quite a diversity of opinion exists regarding the amount of root space re- quired for each plant. Our experience is that with a depth of six inches of soil, in a space twelve inches square, the plants seem to do better than when more or less root space is given. In this they make a good, free growth without any tendency to grossneas and reach a height of about six feet without any perceptible weakening of the growth. Six truflsea of , fruit can usually^ be set The Phoenix after Lowerins; Fifteen Feet. on each plant before the above height is reached. When we allow more root space than this we find that there is a tendency to grossness of growth, which condition results in more or less trouble with the setting of the fruit, and in the develop- ment of windy or hollow fruits. When rePs root space than above designated is allowed we find that the plants begin to show a weakness of growth after a height of about four feet is reached and although setting freely enough, the fruit never develops so well, nor does it reach the same size as it would when an even strength of growth is maintained. The growth could of course be assisted by fertilizers, either in the shape of a top dressing or in liquid form, but it is far preferable to have suflBcient soil to sustain the plants until all growth is practically made and all fruit set before it is necessary to apply fertilizers in any form. These can be more profitably applied as an assistant to the develop- ment of the fruit and the plants will be in better form to utilize them for this purpose than they would be if feed- ing had bepn necessary previous to the completion of growth.

The conditions in a hotbed are gener- ally more congenial for the starting of the tubers, but they can be successfully started in a greenhouse. To insure suc- I am to build another greenhouse this spring, 20x50 feet. I expect to get a hot water boiler. Would you recommend cast-iron or steel f Soft coal is to be used. How many feet of 4-inch cast-iron pipe will be required to heat this house in weather often below zero? G. W. K. Cast-iron boilers are undoubtedly somewhat longer-lived than steel boilers under ordinary greenhouse conditions. There are so many good heating boilers now upon the market that one can hardly give an expression or their comparative merits. You should get a boiler of am- ple size. One with a capacity for 600 or 800 feet of radiation vrill be more eco- nomical than one too small, particu- larly with soft coal. You do not state the temperature desired, so I have as- sumed 68 to 70 degrees is the probable temperature, in which case your house should be provided with seven 4-inch pipes, or 350 feet. I think you could pipe the house more economically with 2- inch gas pipe if new pipe has to be pur- chased? The first cost of the gas pipe will be slightly less, as it would require 640 feet of 2-inch pipe to give the same results, -The fittings and cost of install- 1002 The Weekly Florists^ Review.

Our attention has been attracted to a discussion as to the "most valuable chajacteristics of a trade paper man."

To a man up a tree it looks ai> though a "most valuable charactertstic of a trade paper man" were lacking in this instance; the ability to stick to sub- jects relevant to the trade his journal professes to represent. ST. LOUIS. The Market. The mild and pleasant weather of the past week should have been pleasing to the cut flower trade, but from the re- ports we hear from the retailers things are very quiet at present in all lines excepting funeral work. The wholesal- ers, too, have had their troubles. The fine weather has brought out quantities of cut flowers and extremely low prices prevail in roses, carnations and violets. Only the very choice stock is selling and the help at the wholesale houses is kept busy the rest of the day packing the left over stock in the ice boxes. Such were the conditions of the past week. On Friday, St, Patrick's day, every- body was seen with green carnations. White carnations sold up clean on ,|Fri- day, Saturday and Sunday and the re- tailer was busy with the dyeing pro- cess in order to have plenty for the demand. The daily press helped things along by making comment on the new green carnations, which they said origi- nated in California and the retailer had all kinds of explanations to make re- garding this new and rare variety. Violets could be had at any price and from the amount seen at the whole- sale houses can hardly pay the grower for the labor of picking and bunching them. All varieties of roses except white are too plentiful to sell well. Stock is of fine quality. Beauties, extra long, are enough for the demand and shorts are too many. The carnation is the flower that is a perfect glut. Many thousands were dumped last week and for low prices broke all records. With Easter five weeks off, what will become of the growers if this state of affairs keeps upt Bulbous stock is beginning to show signs of running out although there is enough to supply all demands. Harrisii and callas are dragging, the supply greatly exceeding the demand. There are also plenty of tulips, Von Sions and lily of the valley. Common ferns have gone up a little in price. Smilax and other greens remain the same and are plentiful. Various Notes. Charles Ford, who represents Herr- mann & Co., of New York, called on the trade last week. He has a new side line.

Slater & Co. have opened a new flower store in the room recently vacated by Brix, at Fourteenth and St. Louis ave- nues, Mr. Slater being the owner of the building. The Florists' Club trustees held a meeting with Otto Koenig and Fred Meinhardt last Monday evening at Theo. Miller's store. The talk of the evening was on the fall chrysanthemum show. The hardest problem with them is that of a hall. Work on the preliminary list is progressing. The next meeting of the Florists' Qub will be held on Thursday afternoon, April 13. There will be a talk by grow- ers on Easter stock, so as to give the re- tailers a line on what they have to sell. At this meeting the new by-laws will be up for adoption. The officers say that all members should be present. The two oldest members of our club promised to be present. They are Carew Sanders and Wm. Schray. They have been confined nearly all winter to taeir homes, but are now out and enjoying the best of health. A.

GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. The Market Bright weather is the prime factor in making flowers too plentiful at the pres- ent time, bringing on azaleas and a large percentage of the lily crop too fast. Yet, at the last minute, as usual, it will be discovered there is plenty when Easter arrives. Although lilies are somewhat plentiful, few go to waste, as the de- mand for them is steady. Carnations, unless red and crimson, are plentiful, while rosea are really no more than equal to the demand. When we come to violets, we pause; the purple beauty is a drug. Campbells are being sold in several of the largest dry goods stores in town at 5 cents per bunch of twelve, even grocery stores offer them for sale. The dark violet is held at a little higher price, but is not as plenti- ful as Campbell. Bulb stock moves slow- ly, the most salable being Bomans, indis- pensable in fine funeral work. Valley also sells well. Qub Officers. The Florists' Club held a meeting Fri- day night. An attempt is being made to get^flp an old time mum show, but meets with too feeble a support to bode well for its success. It is thought better to occasionally have a free show of what- ever may be in season at the time at the Board of Trade rooms and invite the publip to call. An attempt to regulate the prices of bedding plants, balcony boxes, hanging baskets, etc., is meeting numerous ob- stacles. While bedding plants are too cheap, it will be difficult to formulate a list satisfactory to all conflicting inter- ests. Various Notes. Nick Freyling is very low with cancer of the stomach. Wm. Cunningham is much improved since he underwent an operation for appendicitis. A car-load of glass recently purchased by the boys clubbing together indicates more building this season. G. F* C.

It seems that all will hit them about right; that is, those that are growing multiflora. As for all other blooming plants, such as azaleas and rhododendrons, they are out of the race. Qub Meeting. The most successful meeting our local club has ever held occurred March 17, when the election of oflScers took place. The following were elected: President, W. F. Gude; vice-president, Charles Hen- lock; secretary, Peter Bissett; treasurer, W. H. Ernest. After the election the sec- retary, Peter Bissett, was presented with a silver tray from the members of the club as a token of esteem for his faithful service rendered during the last year. It was carnation night, and quite a surprise to see so many exhibits, which was brought about by the energy of our secretary. The following is a list of exhibits: F. R. Pierson Co., Tarrytown, N. Y., a vase each of Variegated Lawson, Daheim and White Lawson; John N. May, Summit, N. J., The Bride; J. L. Dillon, Bloomsburg, Pa., Crisis; H.

After the meet- ing the exhibits were carefully carried to the store of A. Gude & Bro. and were well advertised in the daily papers and very much admired by the general public. Considerable business was transacted, principally pertaining to the coming con- vention. All committees reported prog- ress. By a majority vote, George Cook was recommended to be superintendent of trade exhibits for the coming conven- tion. The club may feel proud of the se- lection of a man like Mr. Cook, as he has had years of experience and no doubt will make his end a success. The annual banquet, which takes place the latter part of March, promises to be quite a success. It was decided to hold the banquet during the week that the executive committee holds its annual ses- sion here. F. H. K. PHILADELPHIA. Tlie Market. The decline in prices has continued steadily and the figures quoted on roses today are lower even than at this time last year, with many sales even lower. Fancy Beauties were halved in value in lees than a week, the cut being very heavy. Other flowers depreciated in value to an extent only a little less than roses, giving the Greeks an opportunity that was somewhat marred by the weather. There is some fine stock coming in town.

The success in propagating has been remarkable, house after house being filled with nice little roses in small pots in all stages from those just started to those ready for shipping.

The amount of stock already obtained is remarkable, when time and size of plants are consid- ered.

Bayersdorfer & Co. are doing great work these days, packing and shipping big Easter boxes. Mark B. Mills wants every plant ship- per to make his express agent take a personal interest in getting these perish- able goods delivered on time by writing the agent at the receiving end to see that there is no delay. It will reduce losses and develop the shipping busi- ness. M. Eice & Co. are having a good de- mand for their velvet two-toned paper mats and twig and plant baskets.

Even if he takes 2,000 lots, 50 cents is all that is deducted.

A. LAUB & SON. Hughsonvillc, N. Y. made only during a glut, are usually in 10,000 lots, of whatever varieties are in stock. This has been a wonderful season for carnations and at times there has been a discouragingly large surplus. I am convinced that, looking at the ques- tion broadly, these cheap sales do not hurt the retailer. Many a person's love for flowers begins with these cheap bunches. When something nice in flow- ers is wanted the buyer does not go to the department store. This competition sharpens our wits and broadens our field. 37. — Why do certain commission men sign leases for a certain number of years of store rooms and buildings in which retail cut flower stores are started? I assume this question to mean, "Is it fair for a wholesaler to back a retail store in opposition to some of his cus- tomers!" There is no reason why he should not do this, unless it be that he might antagonize his customers. There are cases of wholesalers who have retail departments, notably in New York. Phil. NEW YOHK. The Market. At last spring is with us. The equi- , noxial on Sunday and Monday was a fit- ting climax to the most disagreeable win- ter of this generation. Peace be to . its ashes, and most of us will gladly speed the parting guest. In the mem- ory of the oldest wholesaler nothing Ijke it has ever been endured. Such slaugh- tering of values, spch complete ohaii|ge { of public preference, such floods of shi^ • ments never were expected or believed possible. Severe cold, overproduction, a wave of economy, intense competition for the growing contingent, all combined to cause an abnormal season. There can hardly be further recession before Easter. Last week's prices hold and the week opens with a more hopeful condition prevalent, while preparations for Easter's festival go cheerfully on. In fact, the retail stores everyw^iere already blaze with color and exhale an atmosphere suggestive of the vernal, sea- son. All offerings of cut flowers are still abundant and of superb, quality, , The lateness of Easter and the enormovis quantities of flowering plants preclude the possibility of p|ckling and of any- thing more than natural in the enhance- ment of values for the holiday. Of all the consignments of the pres-. ent week, orchids alone, especially, cattle* f yas, may be called limited in sup- . ply and optimistic as to price.

St. Patrick's day was well celebrated and the florists generally felt its influ- ence, especially in shamrocks and green carnations. Both plants and flowers sold universally and extensively. Bowe dis- posed of several hundred plants and his experience indicates the general trend. The wholesalers on Thirtieth street de- clare no more inspiring section of the great parade appeared than the Brooklyn Hibernians led by the genial John Mal- lon on a snow-white charger. The street cut flower legion is not only rampant these sunny days, but the peri- patetic nurseryman is at many a street conler down-town with a fine display of trees and roses and about everything for the garden. The auction sales are in foill blast and the attendance increases. The seedsmen have filled their stores with ad- ditional helpers and are working night and day. There are no exceptions. Every- body is busy. A wonderful sight are the greenhouses of the growers these days before the real time of packing, shipping and de- livering begins. To specify would in- clude every plantsman within a radius of fifteen miles of Twenty-eighth street. Bamblers seem to maintain their popu- larity. The new varieties are making a bid for patronage. Dorothy Perkins is here to stay. A beautiful pink grown by M. H. Walsh, called Wedding Bells, is attracting much attention. Wadley & Smythe have secured the entire stock of it. It is indeed a gem. It will be Easter, so far as plant sell- ing goes, from now on to April 23. The sale of plants this year will be enormous. The call is more urgent and extensive than ever before. The retailers for some time have found funeral work the only sure basis of con- tinuous trade. There has been an abund- ance of it and many very beautiful de- signs have done credit to the artistic taste of the experts. Last week Sie- brecht & Son furnished a very beautiful pall of orchids and Wladley & Smythe two immense standing wreaths peven feet in diameter containing over 5,000 lily of the valley. Leikens has had some fine decorations and a large dinner trade during the past month and is greatly pleased with his first season in the metropolis.

Rodh, Schloss Bros, and Lion & Wertheimer all announce a very successful season. An orchid ribbon just introduced by Lion & Wertheimer is especially popular. Galax is scarce, as well as wild smilax. Prosperity seems to abound with all the "green goods" men. Quite a little interest is already mani- fest as to the sumtaer outing of the club.

Prices are lower in most cases, owing to the increased quantity being marketed, but as a raJe goods have tsleared out remarkably well for the Lenten season. Eoses are more abundant and poorer grades inclined to be "druggy." Top quality Brides and Maids have dropped to $12. Those sell- ing at $4 to $6 are in the best demand. Some very fine hybrids have been com- ing in of late from several growers. In addition to Brunners, some extra g(H>A Jacqs., Laings and Luizets are noted. Prices vary all the way froM $5 to $30 according to quality. Carnations are very abundant and sail- ing lower. Mrs. Patten brings extra good prices, selling higher than Enchant- ress. Quite a number of Lawsons are coming in off color. Shading will be needed for this and Enchantress now as our days become hotter. Violets are still quite plentiful, although singles are easing off. Growers of good stock secure 50 cents readily. Callas and Easter lilies are both abundant. Sweet peas are extra fine and sell well. Bulbous stock is abundant but sells better than for some years. Hortkfiltural Society. A discussion on vegetables closed the lecture season at Horticultural Hall on March 18. W. W. Eawson opened the discussion with a very interesting paper. He stated that over 1,700 vegetable grow- ers ship their production to the Boston market, which is one of the most critical in the country. An animated discussion followed the reading of Mr. Eawson 's paper, in which a number of prominent growers took part. The star feature of the spring exhi- bition and rose show is undoubtedly M. H. "Walsh's wonderful display of Bam- bler and other roses. Many of these are in tubs and seven to eight feet high. Such a collection has assuredly never been seen before at any show in America. Waban Conservatories, W. H. Elliott, Briarcliff Greenhouses and other promi- nent growers compete in the rose classes. Exhibitors in the numferous other plant and cut flower classes include Lager & Hurrell, Julius Eoehrs, Colonel C. Pfaff, Geo. F. Fabyan, E. J. Mitton, Mrs. J. I* Gardner, Bussey Institution, E. A. ClxuJte, J. _L. Ames estate, .Wm. Nichol- son, Patten & Co. and numerous others. A full illustrated report will appear in next week's Review. , Florists' Qubw Some twenty-five members of the Gard- eners' and Florists' Club made a post- poned trip to Arlington on March 18 to inspect the vegetable houses of War- ren "W. Eawson. The party was met on arrival by Mr. Ilawson, who conduct- ed them over his extensive establishment. Everything in the houses was found in fine condition anu the visitors marvelled at the magnitude of the vegetable grow- ing industry as illustrated by one of the many plants located in Arlington. The two principal crops grown are cu- cumbers and lettuce. The strain of the former as grown here is admittedly with- out superior. The largest of the cucum- ber houses is 50x400, an adjoining one being 50x350, and all the remaining ones of large size. Extra large sized glass, 20x30, is used in the cucumber houses. Mr. Eawson stated that returns from his largest cucumber house have been as much as $10,000 in a season. Hives of bees are placed in the house at inter- vals to fertilize the flowers. Many thousands of dozens of lettuce were seen in various stages, all being a selected strain of Tennis Ball. Some 1,200 hotbed sashes are also filled with them. In addition to cucumbers and let- tuce, quantities of radishes, parsley and beets were noted. Heating for the vege- table houses is wholly by steam and water is warmed in the winter season ere being applied to the vegetable crops. In addition to vegetables, numerous houses are filled with bedding plants, palms, ferns, Easter lilies, spiraeas and other plants. A large proportion of these are handled at the store in Faneuil Hall Square, Boston, while a retail flower store for handling most of the cut floVvers is located near the greenhouses, a large business being done in funeral and other classes of work. Those interested in live stock had an opportunity of inspecting 700 hogs of the Yorkshire breed. Some 3,000 more are kept at a farm in New Hampshire. Twenty-five splendid horses are kept to do the necessary teaming, ploughing, etc. Outside of the greenhouses 100 acres are planted to vegetable crops in Arlington. At West Bedford, Mass., sixty acres additional are planted and Mr. Eawson has several additional ones in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, all of which.wouldi go to prove that his various big enterprises show him to be a genuine hustling Yankee. William H. Elliott, the well known Brighton rose grower was the speaker at a largely attended club meeting on March 21. Mr. Elliott described some of his experiences in a recent West Indian trip made in company with N. F. McCarthy. Several new members were elected and the meeting was an excellent one in every respect. Various Notes. Jos. Tailby, ot Wellesley, is shippins in excellent Spanish iris, anemones ano ranunculi to the Music Hall market. Sidney Hoffmann has opened the store recently bought from Mrs. Sutherland on Bromfield street, after a thorough over- hauling, and is doing a fine business there. The Gardeners' and Florists' Club has received invitations to visit the well known pot factory of A. H. Hews & Co., in Cambridge and the establishment of E. N. Peirce & Co., Waltham, Mass. Jeremiah Horrigan, of East Foxboro, died otL March 17 of cancer of the stom- ach, axter a long illness. Mr. Horri- gan came to America from Ireland about fifty years ago. During a large portion of that time he worked on private places in Brookline and elsewhere. TNyenty years ago he settled in East Foxboro and established what proved to be a flour- ishing florists' business, violets being his great specialty. In the culture of these he was very successful. Mr. Horrigan 's widow and two sons survive him. Funeral services were held in Brookline on March 20, a delegation being present from the Park street market, at which he was .a stallholder. A handsome floral souvenir came from his market confreres, who re- gret the passing of an honorable, well spent life. W. W. Eawson says electric light will forward crops of lettuce and cucumbers about fifteen per cent and make them of better quality, more especially the cucumbers. H. A. Stevens wears a pleasant smile these days. Mushrooms are selling read- ily at $1 per pound wholesale and aa he has a grand lot of them in bearing of the pure culture brand, with others still to come, he naturally feels happy.

McMulkin had a handsome white win- dow the past week, all seasonable flow- ers and plants Of that color being used. Gros Colmar grapes in handsome tlusters were hung here and there. Peirce & Son, at their big Waverly es- tablishment, have a house 300 feet long of Enchantress carnation, which is a glo- rious sight at present. Another house containing 25,000 Lilium longiflorum in 6-inch pots at just the right Easter stage is as near perfection as possible. As many more are to be seen in the other houses. J. A. Pettigrew read a paper on March 17 before the North Shore Horticultural Society at Manchester, on "Village and Wayside Improvement." Geo. E. Fisher is with Geo. Patten, of Lowell, and not Patten & Co., as stated in a recent issue. The latter firm em- ploys no salesmen. James "Wlheeler was unable to preside at the club meeting on March 21, owing to his wife's illness. She underwent a rather critical operation on the pre- vious day, but we are pleased to learn is progressing favorably. We have had one or two spring-like days of late. Blue birds are with us, robins have been singing and frogs "peeping," snow and ice are disappear- ing fast, so we may reasonably expect to work Mother Earth ere the month closes. W. N. Craig. Eldora, Ia.— J. S. Pollard is conva- lescing from a very serious illness. / BUFFALO. Ctirrent G>inment. Winter not only lingers in the lap of spring, but he has taken a fresh "holt on her ' ' and is giving gentle spring a most amorous squeeze. This retards business somewhat at this time of the year. But let us have the wintry blasts how and balmy spring in April, es- pecially that week beginning April 11, for on that week occurs the Sweeny flow- er show. Eemember that, Buffalo and vicinity growers! The schedule of premiums is made especially to suit the commercial florist and the plants he grows. There is a prize for everybody and they are liberal and paid in cash the last day of the exhibition. We must look upon this also as a most excellent free advertising opportunity. Fifty thousand people will see your products and if your Bambler exhibit is the prize- taker the people will say, "Look. Mr. Porous Potts has the best roses. We will go to him for our Easter plants," and so on in all the Easter favorites. Buffalo is not well off for private es- tablishments, yet the few will contribute largely to the best of the displays. Mr. Fitzwilliams, gardener to Mrs. G. H. Lewis; T. Winneman, gardener to Geo. Urban, Jr., and Charles Sandeford, gardener to J. J. Albright, all have made special preparations. We called on Mr. Sandeford a few days ago, and every florist visiting Buffalo should give him a call, for never anywhere have I seen four small houses so gay with blossoms. From the orchid down to the modest baby primrose all is perfection. Garde- nias are loaded with buds and flowers, cai^ations, roses, lilies and everything else desirable at this season, not blocks of plants, but every one a specimen. I hear that James Buxton, for many years in business on Niagara street, is selling out and expects to return to his native land, England, to sp^nd the even- ing of his life. A few days ago we were more than pleased to receive a call from David Campbell, the park superintendent of the progressive city of Syracuse. Syracuse is among the few cities of the country which has a practical landscape gardener, as well as an all-round gardener, in charge of her parks. Mr. Campbell is all of this. How fortunate for Syra- cuse! Long may Mr. Campbell reign over his charge undisturbed by the green eyes and foul designs of the politicians. W. S. M Tyler, Tex.— Up to Christmas Mrs. Frank Hewitt, who has a nice business, cut roses in her garden, but as late as February 13 every plant was weighted down by a coating of ice. Peoria, III. — The green carnations which Geo. A. Kuhl showed for St. Pat- rick 's day received nearly a column of space in a local paper, which went to the trouble of interviewing nearly every flo- rist in town to prove that green flowers didn't grow so. Camden, N. J.— Wm. Vogt, Jr., 120 North Fourth street, made a funeral piece March 15 for a stranger who gave him a check for $18 which was value- less. As he received no thange it does not appear that the swinuler profited by the florist's loss. ■ ■;.■•*■; ■'^:' ■• ivv r.'j J0J2 The Wcddy Florists^ Review^ March 23, 1005. CLEVELAND. The Market A decided change in weather condi- tions has come to the relief of florists in this section. Two weeks ago it was cold and stormy. At this writing, March 18, it is as balmy as a day in June, the thermometer registering 70 degrees in the shade. There has been a great influx of stock of all kinds. Roses, which were very scarce two weeks ago and brought 10 cents for flrst grade, have taken a tumble and can be had at prices to suit the purchaser. Carnations are a real glut, many being sold for $10 to $15 per thousand. Bulbous stock is extra fine, going at ruinous prices. Sweet peas, valley and mignonette are plentiful. Various Notes. A visit to Adam Graham & Son, oppo- site Lakeview cemetery,, found everything looking tip top. Eoses are off crop but breaking nicely for a heavy spring cut. Carnations are extra fine, the benches being a mass of bud and bloom. Even with this heavy crop they are always cut close to meet the demand. Violets were superb, being perfectly healthy and in full crop. Princess of "Wlales, with stems a foot long and a mat of bud and bloom. Lilies look just right and are a clean, healthy lot. Azaleas are being retarded for Easter. Kamblrfs and H. P. roses are breaking nicely. The two new houses were completed late last fall and are being used for spring stock of all kinds. Next season many alteratioy ar« contemplated. The old range Of houses will give way to a njore preten- tious structure of a modern character. St. Patrick's day created a big de- mand for white carnations which were dyed green for the occasion. They sold like the veritable hot cakes. Shamrocks made their appearance in many of the retail stores, the sales being very satis- factory. The many times millionaire, Andrew Carnegie, was a visitor here for several days, being a witness at the famous Chadwick trial. Many receptions and banquets were held in his honor, which called for decorations. Ed. Holland, for many years with the Essex Greenhouses, has left for parts un- known. The J. M. Gasser Co. is cutting very fine roses of good quality and color. Mr. Gasser at present is sojourning in a more agreeable climate. James Eadie is cutting Beauties of fine quality. Forest City. OrrTING TULIPS. Are tulip bulbs, biooming in the spring out of doors in a bed, injured by cutting off the blooms, especially when they are cut off right down to the ground? W. H. S. Most decidedly the bulbs are "in- jured." How can they be otherwise! For a month after blooming the leaves are helping to form the embryo flower for another year and if you denude the growing bulb of its leaves you suddenly arrest the forming of next year's bloom and you must expect only a feeble growth and poor flower, if any at all. If you want the best results, cut the bloom di- rectly the petals begin to drop, but do not disturb the foliage until it has natur- ally ripened and withered. If it is the PrwiG baskets! !

The 29th annual convention will be held at West Baden, Ind., June, 1006. At Meohanicsville, la., H. F. Collver and James Graham will establish a large nursery. D. S. Lake, Shenandoah, la., reports an unusually heavy sale on apple seed- lings. They are putting up 35,000 to 40,000 apple grafts a day this season. Mrs. p. kj.

Klehms ' Nursery, Arlington Heights, 111., report prospects for a big spring season. They make a specialty of land- scape work and have a number of large jobs of a public or semi-public character. Eeports from southern nurserymen in- dicate that early accounts of the damage to peach buds by the cold winter are not greatly overdrawn. In Florida the orange crop was cut, but the trees did not suffer severely.

L. Taber, Prof. Geo. T. Moore, Howard A. Chase, J. C. Hale, H. L. Bird and others.' ' / • The florist who starts out to establish a trade in nursery stock will make no greater mistake than to go to the cheap- est source of supply for the stock to fill his orders. Say that you get a dollar for planting a shrub; you can buy it for 10 cents, but you will do better to pay two or three times as much and get three or four times as good a plant. Every now and then some nursery- man emits a "wail" because the low price competitors are cutting into his trade. There are "price" houses and "quality" houses in every line and the cheap nursery stock is no more to be feared by the dealer in good stock than is the "price" house to be feared by the dealers in good merchandise in any other branch of business. SUE ON EXCHANGE DEAL. Suit was filed in the district court at ,Salt Lake City, March 11, by Harness, Dix & Co, against the Stark Bros. Nurseries & Orchards Co., to recover $404.46 alleged to be the balance due on a contract in relation to the sale and ex- change of certain fruit trees between the parties to the action. Plaintiff al- leges that it agreed with defendant to furnish to defendant a car-load of pear trees in exchange for a car-load of ap- ple trees. The pear trees were shipped all right but instead of defendant ship- ping plaintiff a car-load of apple trees it is alleged it only sent a part of a car- load. Out -o4 .ihe total number shipped plaintiff alleges' that 1,202 were diseased and of no value. Defendant has ever since refused to make good the balance of the trees, hence judgment is asked for their value. AMERICAN APPLES IN ENGLAND. Some interesting information relative to American apples in England appears in a report made by United States Consul Albert W. Swalm, of Southampton, England, dated January 25, 1905. He states that the reports from local mar- kets as to the condition of the pack of American apples put on the English market is exceedingly creditable to the packers, and that it is seldom that the standard varieties popular in the English market have turned out so much in favor and to the taste of the buyers, the fruit being of that firm mold and solid condi- tion generally required in the English market. In 1903 the enormous amount of 11,- 000,000 bushels of American and Cana- dian apples were sold in the English market, and from present appearances that record will be nearly if not quite equaled from the crop of 1904. DISTANCE TO PLANT. I have a customer who wants me to plant a fruit garden this spring. How far apart should apple, peach, pear and cherry trees be planted, also grapes, currants, raspberries, blackberries and gooseberries? I have planted a good many geraniums in my time but the nursery line is new to me. H. 0. Apple trees of standard varieties would best be set thirty feet apart each way. The cherry and pear trees will need twenty feet each way, while peaches and plums may be set sixteen feet. The grapes should have seven or eight feet 'and if more than one row is planted make the rows ten feet apart. Raspberries and blackberries will do at three feet apart, but currants and gooseberries should have a little more space, sfty four feet. If ytfa can spare the space make liberal allowance between the rows, A fruit garden with grass walks is a very attractive spot, but of course a space around the plants must be kept cultivated. T. S.

Mon Tresor, Chrysolora and Yellow Prince are all fine yellows but we believe Chrysolora slightly the best for very early forcing, but Yellow Prince is the yellow mostly grown, and it is fine. Proserpine, sometimes called queen of the tulips, is a giand flower, excellent for foi^cing, canning joae in color. Keizerkroon forces well an^ is red and yellow, very showy. Distinct colors sell best. If you want a variegated flow- er of great size and substance try a few Joost Von Vondel. In double tulips we have found only a few varieties profitable and above all de- airable varieties is the glorious Murillo, white turning later to a satiny rose, nothing finer in all tulips. Toumesol, red and yellow, and Tournesol Yellow, are white turning later to a-lfeating rose, both fine. Salvator Rose, white and rose; Imperador rubrorum, scarlet, and Cou- ronne des Boses, rose and white, are all fine tulips, but of all the double tulips yon forte, let three-quarters of them be the usefolfend beautiful Murillo.

Paie, Dee Moines. la ; First Vlce- Pres., Ifc L. May, St. Paul; Sec'y and Treas.. C. E. Kendel, Cleveland. The 23rd annual meetlnc win be held on the St. Lawrence, June, 1806. Salvia splendens is in hiding where nobody is able to find it. Even the flat varieties of onion seed are scarce. That this would ever happen was not thought to be among the possi- bilities. At Chicago all indications point to an early spring. This will be a novelty of considerable value to planters in this section. The seed jobbers report trade exceed- ingly brisk the past week. The retail trade must be accordingly satisfactory as there the final outlet is found. Onion sets are reported to be pretty well cleaned up and there is yet a nor- mal season of at least four weeks for the jobber to dispose of quantities. It is about as hard to get some va- rieties of sweet corn this year as it was last. Somebody missed connections when all varieties were reported plentiful. It is probably a safe assertion that there never was a year like this for onion seed. California growers are re- ported cleaned out on globe varieties. W. B. Gibson, melon grower at Las Animas, Colo., is advertising in farm pa- pers a surplus of Eocky Ford canteloupes at a little more than half catalogue prices. E. D. Adams, Wethersfield, Conn., died March 10 of Bright 's disease. He had been in the seed trade more than a third of a century, with Comstock, Ferre & Co., and was secretary and treasurer of that corporation at the time of his death. Reports from Nebraska indicate that the condition of seed corn in almost all parts of that state is the very best. A very long, warm, dry fall was expe- rienced last year which permitted the corn to ripen thoroughly and to dry out well before cold weather set in. Ger- . mination tests are very satisfactory. The U. S. Department of Agriculture has just issued as Bulletin No. 66, Bureau of Plant Industry, a volume of 333 pages containing a list of the 4,396 varieties of seeds and plants imported by the Office of Seed and Plant Introduc- tion and Distribution from September, 1900, to December, 1903. The list con- tains everything irom a "Kussian radish to a Japanese juncus and an Egyptian sausage tree. These have in most in- stances been distributed to competent ex- ' perimenters and many will no doubt find their way into the trade. Brief descrip- tions of many varieties are given in the . present volume. DEATH OF J. L RFVT^OLDS. J. I. Reynolds, for thirty-three years in the grain and seed business in Kansas City, died March 13 of Bright 's disease. Mr. Reynolds was born at "West Liberty, 0., April 26, 1846. At the age of six- teen he entered upon a business career in the seed establishment of an uncle.

MARKET GARDENING IN TEXAS. The rapid development of market gardening in southern Texas has caused the Agricultural Experiment Stations to compile and publish a bulletion on "Onions and Bunch Crops" givip^ in detail variety tests of onions, teete, rad- ishes, lettuce, , carrots and turnips grown under average market gardening condi- tions in the Beeville district. Not only does the bulletin show the better va- rieties but it designates the seedsman from whom the seed was obtained. In the onion tests all seeds were sown October 30, 1903, and the sets moved to the field February 3, 1904. On May 10 a fifty-foot row of Red Bermuda yielded sixty-three and one-half pounds of mar- ketable onions. This was seed from S. A. McHenry. On June 12 Burpee 's New Mammoth Silver King yielded forty-nine pounds from a similar space, but only forty-six pounds were marketable. Mau- le's Prizetaker gave but twenty-one and a half pounds on June 23 and most of these were small. All tests have shown the superiority of the Bermudas for Texas conditions. Of bunch crops beets are most im- portant. The bulk of the crop reaches market in from eighty to ninety days from seed sowing. With good culture two crops may be grown on the same soil during the season from October to May. Earliness, evenness of develop- ment and a small tap-root are desired, the latter being important because of express rates, eighteen to twenty dozen bunches of big-rooted sorts filling a bar- rel which hol£ twenty-five dozens of va- rieties of better form.

Twenty-eight sorts were tested, plats of a tenth of an acre be- ing used, planted December 10 with seed at the rate of eight pounds per acre. The largest yield at twelve to sixteen radishes to the bunch, was Market Gar- deners' Long Scarlet, which gave 183 bunches for each 100-foot row. Early Short Top Long Scarlet gave 180 bunch- es, California White Mammoth gave 150 and Round Scarlet Chinese 140. Scarlet Turnip White Tipped, with 106 bunch- es, was one of the most profitable sorts. Seeds of all were from the Plant Seed Co. Early Bound Dark Eed from Maule gave 110 bunches. The lettuce test was not satisfactory because of lack of water. Planted De- cember 11 Grand Eapids, from the Plant Seed Co., and Early Prize Head, from Wm.

Of Maule 's Improved Hanson 100 per cent were marketable.

Lambros was closed up under a judgment held by his brother he was owing many sums to wholesalers. It was at first reported that John Lambros, who was supposed by many to have owned the place at the time credit was granted, would settle, but as nothing came of it the creditors thought it imprudent to let things go on as they appeared to be planned, and united in throwing the afifair into the United States Court.

ONCINNATL The Market. Business is moving along in very good Btjle in spite of a relapse to vdnter and thfl change in the weather will have very little effect on it. The demand for stock is ^ood and aU kinds are called for. Spring openings used up a large quan- tity of blooms, which were given away. Many plants and palms were also used. This helped out our market a little, but most of the cut flowers came from Chi- cago. St. Patrick 's day was a very good one from a florist's point of view. As wmal, the green carnation took the lead, thoQBands of them being sold at from 6 cents to 15 cents each. Fred Gear and H. D. Edwards, both of whom sold the dye to produce the green carnation, reported a large demand for it. In roses the demand for Beauties heads fhe list and more could be disposed of. liberty and Meteor are also scarce. Other sorts are about equal to the demand. Car- aationB are selling first-class, white going especially well. Violets are doing nicely alao, with the prices slightly advanced. Bulbous stock goes moderately well, bat Harrisii and callas move slowly while Bomans scarcely pay for the bulbs. Some good lilac moves slowly. Asparagus and smilax are not equal to the demand. Other green goods are plen- tifuL Fancy ferns are holding out well. Various Notes. There are a great many fakirs com- ing to this city, mostly from Chicago, and they are taking a chance at the street business here. But the wholesale men do not take very kindly to them, and their stay will be short. Julius Baer is now in his new store at 138 and 140 East Fourth street. It is a beautiful store, with plenty of room to display stock. In its arrangements it is most artistic and I do not believe it has its equal anywhere in this part of the count:^. Our retail florists are fit- ting up the kind of stores that our city deserves and we are glad to see it. In speaking of the tendency to sleep in the Carnation Enchantress, Wm.

The Market A week of sun has produced a great difference in greenhouse crops. Eoses are coming in more plentifully and some fine Brides and Maids can be had, also good Gates. Long-stemmed American Beauties are coming in more freely and find ready sale. For the first time this winter are there roses carried over from day to day. The wholesalers report a fair trade in all lines except bulb stuff, especially callas. Double violets have been coming in heavily with not enough singles to go around. Strange to say, the street fakirs are handling good single violets at 20 centii per hundred, which is much less than they can be bought for here. Carnations were never better in quality and the demand seems greatest for white. In pink, Lawson is the one most called for, with plenty of the smaller grades of pink left over. The only thing that really is scarce is greens, of which there are not near enough to go around. Especially is this true of as- paragus in bunches, which has been short all winter. Various Notes. The Gardeners' Club of Baltimore held its annual election of officers and banquet on March 13. It was one of the best attended meetings the club has ever had, largely due to the hot compe- tition for president. The following of- ficers were elected for the ensuing year: President, Philip B. Welsh; vice-presi- dent, F. C. Bauer; secretary, John J. Perry; financial secretary, George Tal- bott; treasurer, Fred G. Burger; librar- ian, C. M. "Wagner. A number of the local craft visited "W. B. Sands, of Lake Roland, on March 9. After an inspection of the green- house plant the host led the way to the dining-room, where tiie tables were heavi- ly laden with good things. H. Weber & Sons are sending in some fine Harrisii lilies. Wm. B. Sands is cutting extra good valley. A. J. Fellouris, of New York, was a visitoi; last week and reports an increas- ing demand for all hardy green goods. B. Eschner, of M. Rice & Co., was in town last week and so was the sales- man for H. Bayersdorfer & Co., who had a wagon-load of samples. A. F. Toronto, Ont.— The King Construc- tion Co. reports a large amount of greenhouse building. They have orders from as far west as Denver.

The Weekly Florists' Review^ J029 formed me that he supposed the stock was packed properly because he knew it was 'always warm in America and es- pecially so in California. ' I do not know how he received his information — but I think if he had seen his cases unpacked he would have changed his mind. I have since imported from various firms and they all seem to use the same brand of carelessness in their packing — either too much moss and moisture or too little moss and dryness and, as I stated before, only about one consignment in three ar- rives in good order." G. ASTERS IN CALIFORNIA. At what time should I sow aster seed in Southern California to have the blooms in October and November! Could I make them bloom about Christmas? Our sununers are hot and dry and I would like them to come in when it begins to grow cooler. A. L. H. The aster is a plant with a distinct season and is always well out of bloom by the time the frost makes its appear- ance. To have them flowering as late as it is possible in this climate I plant the seeds in March, using some of the late branching varieties, and transplant them in the open ground in May. Being of a soft growth, it is necessary to keep them growing all the time, for if they get a set-back from any cause whatever they will be worthless for blooming. Conse- quently they must be well watered and cultivated during their growing season. I have found they can be made to bloom in this way as late as October and well into November but the quality of the blossoms was never as good as those I cut when I planted the same variety of seed in January and commenced to cut the last week in August. It will be found much more satisfactory to grow chrysanthemums for winter blooming than to try and keep asters flowering after their season is over. 6. SAN FRANCISCO. The Market. Business has quieted down consider- ably and the florists are having a rest. There is practically nothing doing in the social line and very little in the funeral way. Flowers are gradually getting cheaper in price and more plentiful. The weather is warm and we have occa- sional showers. The only flowers that are scarce at present are good roses. Beauties are sel- ling wholesale at from $2 to $3 per doz- en for fancy stock and only a few to be had. I look for this price to lower con- siderably in a few days, when from all accounts there will be a good crop of- fered. Carnations are very plentiful and cheap. Narcissi of all kinds are practi- cally over, as well as freesias. Valley is plentiful and of slow sale. Harrisii are in fair supply, with only fair der mand. Fruit blossoms are used every- where this season in decorations and, al- though a cheap flower, they net the florists a good profit. "Wild flowers have commenced to be shown and in a week or two will occupy considerable space usu- ally devoted to more expensive blooms. Violets are over for the season. Varioos Notes. L. G.

He served in the 20th Illinois during the Civil war and was married March 16, 1868, to Miss Emily Tompkins, who sur- vives. Mr. Hill came to Streator in 1875 and embarked in the flower busi- ness. In 1884, the Hill Floral Co. was incorporated, since which time the firm has built up a prosperous and growing business, a few years ago moving their plant from South Park street to the west side, where the business has been conducted on a larger scale. WASHINGTON. "No flowers" will be the sign here- after displayed in the United States sen- ate chamber. The edict has gone forth that all blossoms shall be barred from those august portals. Senator Lodge produced a crumpled piece of paper a few days ago and sent it to the clerk's desk. The clerk read this: R^olTed, That until further orders the ser- geant-at-arms Is instructed not to permit flowers to be brought Into the senate chamber. When jNIr. Quay returned to the sen- ate after a two-year absence causeu by a deadlock in the Pennsylvania legisla- ture, a good sized section of the senate chamber was taken up with a triumphal floral arch, which caused many senators (who didn't like Quay) to say the prac- tice of giving flowers should be forbitl- den. ZANESVILLE, OHIO. John D. Imlay is making plans for a new store, which will give him very fine facilities. The present salesroom, a one- story structure on North Fifth street, will be torn down and a three-story brick structure erected in its place. This will be sixty feet deep and back of it will be a show house, connecting with a stor- age shed in the rear. A steam plant will be installed to heat the greenhouse, store and apartments above.

In order to properly set forth the losses sustained hj florists through many defects and delays in the transportation of cut flowers to this city the committee named for this special purpose by the New Orleans Horticultural Society re- ported at a meeting March 16 that ar- ticles were being prepared for all the newspapers. The committee having the arrangement of the chrysanthemum show in charge reported progress, assuring the society that the show during the month of No- vember would be on a much larger scale than ever before. The exhibit committee was instructed to make all arrangements for a large display of roses at the April meeting. Bichard Eichling, with U. J. Virgin, ex- hibited calla lilies, Lilium Harrisii, as- sorted Dutch hyacinths, narcissi, free- sias, spiraea and lily of the valley. H. Papworth presided. Twelve mem- bers were present.

The Market The spring-like weather has iorced in immense quantities of bulbous stock, as well as carnations, roses and violets. The result has been a buyers' market; especially if you are buying in quantity you make your own price. The retailers have not much to complain of. Trade has been very fair for the Lenten sea- son, the warm weather bringing out lots of small buyers. Various Notes. Thos. M. Ulam was closed by the sheriff last Thursday. * John Foss had a bad scare last Thurs- day, when the large warehouse near his greenhouse burned to the groupd. He escaped, thanks to the direction of the wind. The growers in this section say there will be no azaleas or bulbous stock for Easter. The recording thermometer and ther- mostat exhibited at last meeting of the Florists' Club was sent by the Parker Mfg. Co., 79 Summer street, Boston, Mass. I find in my last notes I men- tioned the manufacturer's name of the instrument instead of the sales agent. I overheard a conversation in one of the wholesale houses the other day, the truth of which struck me forcibly. The query at issue was: "Why do people expect more for nothing from florists than from any other class of trades- men f" Even the salesmen in the store seem to forget the value of stock when putting up a box of flowers, for when they have put up a box tQ. the full re- t»il value and they see that a littfe some- thing will improve the box or hdiieh, es- pecially if for a regular customM, un- thinkingly they will put the wh^^ profit of the box or bunch into the order. The same thing is true in making a design and if the stock is not counted, in order to make the design look right to the man who is making it up, quite frequently the whofesale price of the stock is more than the price of the design. This is not true in any other business. Who ever heard of throwing in a 5-cent handkerchief because you bought a dozen, but it is not uncommon with the florist's clerk and even the proprietor and salesmen who would not touch a penny or a stamp, will take a few roses and never think of the greater value. The salesman in a hard- ware store will pick up a single nail from the floor, but the chances are the florist will kick a couple of daisies, worth 2 cents each, under the counter. Are florists more liberal than other busi- ness men, or don't they need the money t The Allegheny river is on a rampage and as a result, the cellars of Mrs. E. A. Williams, L. I.

We have three attached houses, the north one 20x102, the middle one 18x102 and the south one 10x102. The north wall is four feet high and tight; the •south wall has two feet of glass. The gables are glass. We want 58 degrees in the north house and 70 degrees in the middle one. We have used a flue but shall change to either steam or hot water. The boiler we have in mind has ■nine sections, with a fire box 24x54 inch- es and rated for 2,400 feet of radiation. Will this do and how shall we pipe for 10 degrees below zero? S. P. C. If you wish to heat the plant with ■steam it will require a boiler with a ■minimum rating to carry 1,500 feet of radiation. If hot water is to be used the •capacity of the boiler should be suffi- •cient to carry at least 2,000 feet of radiation. In either case the boiler speci- ■fied- should be ample for your present plant. If steam is used lV4-inch pipe •can be used for all returns and 2-inch for all flow pipes in the houses and if each flow is carried direct from the boiler 2- inch will be sufficient for .the whole length. If hot water is used the returns ■should be IY2 or 2-inch pipe and the flows 2 14 -inch in each of the larger liouses and 2-inch in the small one. For flteam the house 20x102 should have ten IVi-inch returns, but for hot water it should have eleven returns of 2-inch pipe OT fourteen 1%-inch. The house 18x102 should have ten l>4-inch returns but for hot water it should have eleven 1%-inch ■or nine 2-inch returns. The house 10x102 takes six IVi-inch returns for steam or with hot water either six l^^-inch pipes or five 2-inch return pipes. L. C. C.

The annual exhibition and meeting of the American Rose Society, held in con- junction with the spring show of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, at Boston, March 23 to 26, proved, in spite of some previous pessimistic talk, to be a most successful one, far outclassing the meeting of the Chrysanthemum So- ciety in November in variety of interest- ing exhibits and enthusiasm. The Bose Society is still an infant, but as a result of what was seen and heard at the recent exhibition we anticipate for it a field of far wider and more practi- cal usefulness than it has filled in the past. In fact, in some respects the S. A. F. and the more lusty Carnation So- ciety might profitably copy some of its prospective work. As was truthfully stated by President Montgomery, the lack of rose novelties of American intro- duction, as compared vrith carnations, is one of the chief causes of the appar- ent lack of interest on the part of many rosarians. As increasing attention is now being paid to this by a number of hy- bridizers, the near future should give us a more distinctively American race of roses than exists today and interest in these meetings will be stimulated. An- other thing which will vastly strengthen the society is to be not too exclusively commercial. Its aim is, or should be, to gather into its fold many of the increas- ing army of wealthy amateur rose lovers, particularly of hardy varieties, as is done by the powerful National Rose So- ciety of England. The issuing of bul- letins, which is to be started ere long, will do much to strengthen the society and if carefully followed should event- ually make the Rose Society what it ought to be, the strongest organization of its kind in America. The Rose Society is of eastern birth and its exhibitions have been confined to the cities of New York, Philadelphia and Boston. We think the decision to re- main in the east until it grows to be a inore lusty youngster, and then travel westward, is a good one and while some of our western friends may not agree with this policy, we believe they will eventually be brought to see its wisdom, but we are digressing and must return to the exhibition. There have been larger displays of cut roses at other shows, particularly in the west, but the quality at Boston was re- markably fine. Then, when it came to pot roses, no other show in the country could eomnare with it. This opinion seemed to be universal. The fifty Ameri- can Beauties which won the executive committee 's prize as well as the Tjord & Burnham trophy and Welch Bros.' prize for the best vase of roses in the hall, and which came from the Waban Rose Conservatories, were magnificent. Briar- cliff Greenhouses, W. IT. Elliott. F. R. Pierson Co. and others also showed grand Beauties. The Queen of Edgely, from the Floral Exchange, and Ivory, from the same firm, were excellent. Brides and Bridesmaids were especial- ly well shown by Waban Conservatories and W. H. Elliott. The Montrose Green- houses also had some superb vases, show- ing very high culture. Liberty from A. Farenwald and Elliott attracted even more notice than the American Beauties. Breitmeyer's vases of La Detroit and Mme. Hoste came in fine shape, the for- mer, especially, being much admired. Gen. Mac Arthur from John N. May, came in for much favorable notice, as did Wellesley from Waban Conserva- tories, which won the prize for the best American seedling not in commerce. Killarney, shown in pots as well as in vases, seemed to be a great favorite with the ladies. There was a good display of hybrid perpetuals, George Melvin, gardener to Col. Charles Pfaff; M. H. Walsh and John McFarland being the chief exhibi- tors, Brunner, Frau Karl Druschki, Mrs. John Laing, Margaret Dickson, Clio, Jacqueminot, Baron Bonstetten and Merveille de Lyon being especially good. was the most remarkable feature of the show and attracted the admiration of the throngs of visitors. Some of itheSe were in pots, but the majority wer* in tubs. The task of conveying this big collection from the shores of Cape Cod to Boston must have been quite an arduous one. The most ad- mired plants in Mr. Walsh's group were his Lady Gay, very similar to Farquhar in color and beautifully flowered. Other varieties, such as Wedding Bells, Hia- watha, La Fiamma, Sweetheart, Debut- ante, made up a magnificent collection, alone worth a journey of hundreds of miles to see. In addition to the F. R. Newbold prize for best group of Ram- blers, Mr. Walsh won the three prizes offered by the society and first and third prizes for the best individual specimens. Tne following are the awards in full: Teas and hybrid teas, twenty-flre cut blooms, open to all: American Beauty, second prize to W. H. Elliott. Bride, first, W. H. Elliott Bridesmaid, first. W. H.

Tbe annual businese session of the American Bose Society was held in the directors' room at Horticultural Hall, Boston, on Friday, March 24, with a good attendance. President Alexander Montgomery in the chair. The president read his address as follows: Pretident't Acfdresi. We have met again to take note of our progress and do homage to our queen and, although we have hardly mad^ the progress that the Eose So- ciety is entitled to, considering the vast amount of capital invested in the busi- ness and the number of able men who make the cultivation of the rose their life-work, yet I think that we are be- ginning to see light ahead. There have been suggested various reasons to ac- count for the slow progress which this society has made. It has been charged against us that we are not national in that we have failed to cover the princi- pal cities of the country, but, with pa- tience on the part of our critics, and with the cooperation of those to whom this society has a right to look for its support, we will yet visit them all. The few pioneers who have done so much to nurse this society along are entitled to our gratitude for work done, and when the time comes for the Eose Society to start on its peregrinations I think I do not err in saying that it will have the hearty cooperation of those who have stood by it thus far. Distance will not diminish their interest in the flower of flowers nor the society which stands for its advancement. The rose has not lacked for enthusi- asts any more than the carnation, but it has missed that incentive to bring rose men together that the carnation men have had, namely, something new. The shows have had but little variety. Practically the same few varieties were forthcoming year after year, a little larger or smaller as we happened to carry them in our minds, or whether they happened to be our own or the o1^^ fellow^' powers, but evidQUM ifi ] n6t iranliil^ tbai this will all be^ q)i|>igea' ' in the near future an^ wa exiiect to again hear the cry go forth as it did in '61, but this time, thank God, it is not the soldier but the enthusiastic rosarian who raises the cry, "On to Bichmond. " The American rose grower has at last awakened to the fact that if a race of roses adapted to his needs is to be forth- coming, it must be done by himself. He has paid in the past thousands of doUaxs for European varieties that were seldom suited to his requirements, notwithstanding that they might be all that the raiser claimed for them when growing under their own conditions. This applies in large measure to roses for outdoor cultivation, as well as to those grown under glass, and I am in- clined to think that the former is the larger field for the hybridist, and with a reasonable amount of encouragement, I predict that the near future will see commendable progress made in a truly American type of roses adapted to the climatic conditions found here. It should be the duty of this society to encourage in every way possible the rose hybridist, as in large measure the future of the Bose Society will depend on him for the stimulating interest cre- ated by having something new. The commercial man ought to l^ alive to the fact that if the rose is to hold the place of honor and profit he must have some- thing to keep the buying public from becoming tired of seeing only the few familiar old varieties, however meritori- ous they may be. A proceeding that I think would be of especial benefit to the introducer and buyer of new roses would be for this society to appoint local committees at the large centers, after the method of the Chrysanthemum Society, to whom flowers could be sent to be judged, ac- cording to the scale of the American Bose Society. For convenience this could be done at the various fall shows, and being judged by the official scale would be of value to all. The same committees could visit the new claim- ants in their home quarters and report on their winter qualities. These judges could be appointed by the executive com- mittee and the chairmen of these com- mittees or as many of them as were required could be the judges at the an- nual show. Now a word about the show itself. The schedule needs to be .practically re- written and adapted to the particular section of the country to which the show is to go the following year. A prelimi- nary schedule should be sent out in the fall, otherwise the growers of pot roses are largely eliminated, and it will be in evidence at the Boston show that this can be made both an interesting and educational section of our shows. If possible, a meeting of the executive com- mittee should be held during the con- vention of the Society of Americaai Florists, otherwise it will be almost im- possible to get a majority of them to- gether later in the season, as they are, and should be, men from wide apart sections of the country and find it diffi- cult to leave their business later on. In conclusion I would ask one and all to stay and take part in this meeting, and if they can offer anything for the good of this society, it is their duty to do so. To the young men I would ex- tend a pressing inVit^tion. to take part in 'these proceedings ^^d if, with their Jrpunff and nrogressive idea^ they can showliur VhWein a part of the machin- ery of tMs society has worn out or become obsolete, I promise them that to the best of my ability I will assist them to have it replaced by more mod- em works. Progress should be the hail- ing sign of this society, for the only place the American rosarian can afford to sit is in the very prow of the ves- sel, even at the risk of an occasional wave splashing over him. The secretary's report was read by W. J. Stewart and was as follows: Secretary's Report I have the honor to make the follow- ing report as secretary since the resigna- tion of Mr. Barron last fall. The number of members on the list when it came to my hands was 191, of whom thirty-six were life members, and 155 annual members. The majority of the latter had paid no assessments for two years or more. Bills were sent to all and the returns have been quite sat- isfactory, everything considered, as the treasurer's report will show. In the meantime five new life members and six- teen annual have been added. Silver medals won two years ago, at the Anandale Bose Show by Crumwold Gardens and at Lenox, Mass., by Giraud Foster, have been struck off and sent to their owners. Through an error in the schedule, a silver cup was awarded at Poughkeepsie the same year, instead of a medal, to F. Heeremans, of Lenox. F. B. Newbold, who was president of the American Bose Society at that time, has generously provided the cup and it has been forwarded, suitably engraved, to Mr. Heeremans. The sentiment all over the country towards this society is extremely cordial so far as I have been able to learn, and the outlook is most encouraging for the organization and the objects for which it stands. The treasurer's report in the unavoid- able absence of John N. May was read by the secretary. It showed a balance in the treasury of $709.55 as compared with $971.12 a year previous. M. H. Walsh, who was introduced as the wizard of Cape Cod, then read a paper for which H. A. Siebrecht moved a vote of thanks. Mr. Siebrecht stated that he hoped the result of this paper and its discussion would be to bring the society to the standard for which it was organized. He advocated the ap- pointment of a publishing committee to get up a Bose Society bulletin at inter- vals and disseminate useful information and thus do a greater and broader work than is being accomplished. The motion was unanimously adopted. In the discussion on Mr. Walsh's paper, James Wheeler said he thought American growers were slow in taking hold of hybridizing, the surest way to popularize the rose. We must raise kinds adapted for our climate and im- port less kinds of doubtful value from Europe. Bobert Simpson said people needed education. People persisted in buying cheap, trashy Dutch roses year after year and become discouraged. A. Farenwald said the society needs more spirit. Let it follow the lead of the carnation men, who poke their noses in at every show. The exhibition was much better than Philadelphia, but he ICabcb 80. 1906. The Weekly Florists' Review. J|UUpilJWW^:!fl!i!i(|w«JUiij|.Jilij!{| 1063 A Portion of the Chicaeo Florists' Qub's Trade Exhibition, March 23, (See page 1071.) thought the New York growers had not contributed their share. Members should be influenced to take more interest. Just now carnations are running roses a close race for supremacy. In a heavy market the former will sell while roses go to the dump heap. Frank B. Moore said that if we disseminate good practical infor- mation the buying public will put their money in and we can furnish the brains. Asked as to the six best hardy roses to withstand a vigorous climate, M. H. Walsh said much depended on the situ- ation. Liying and growing are two dif- ferent things. Growing means thriving under right conditions. Land location might be good for growth, but not for maturity of wood. Keeping insects away is second only to soil. It is use- less providing good soil and then letting insects eat them up. Bulletins should tell people how to care for roses, when and how to spray. Cottagers really have more love for roses than the wealthy classes. We should help amateurs and give them simple, rudimentary instruc- tion. For six hybrid perpetuals he would recommend Baroness Rothschild, Clio, Ulrich Brunner, Prince Camille de Ro- ^han, Baron Bonstetten and Captain Hay- ward. In hybrid teas the best half dozen are Captain Christy, Caroline Testout, Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, La France, Maman Cochet and Mme. Abel Chatenay. The last named had stood the last two winters with him without any protection. In Ramblers some of the best are Lady Gay, Sweetheart, Debutante, Philadel- phia Rambler and Farquhar. Mr. Walsh condemned the marsh-grown Dutch stock. H. A. Siebrecht said Baroness Roths- child did poorly with him. Magna Char- ta he preferred to treat as a shrub, like Mme. Plantier. He considered that the society should strike at cheap Dutch roses as not being adapted to our climate. M. H. Walsh said existing laws were such that he could not ship goods direct to Holland. They must go to England first. On the other hand the Dutch could ship directly here. This should be recti- fied. Roses should be budded not over two inches above the roots. W. N. Craig did not favor some of the H. P. varieties recommended. He said a reliable half dozen are Mrs. John Laing, Mme. G. Luizet, Jacqueminot, Brunner, Paul Neyron and John Hop- per, As a climber Dorothy Perkins might be added to Mr. Walsh's list. W. J. Stewart spoke a good word for Paul's Carmine Pillar. After a few remarks from Harry May, Benjamin Hammond arose and offered to pay for 10,000 bulletins to be dis- tributed by the society. Mr. Hammond was thanked for his generous oflfer, which was accepted on motion of W. H. Elliott. A. H. Langjahr recommended the issuance of annual reports to the members. The next place of meeting now came up for discussion. Chicago, Utica and Syracuse were mentioned, but finally Boston was again selected, it being deemed best to stay in the east until the society becomes stronger. Mr. Siebrecht moved that a committee of two retire and bring in nominations for officers. Their selections were: President, Alexander Montgomery; vice- president, Robert Simpson; treasurer, Harry May ; secretary, W. J. Stewart. The officers nominated were unanimously elected. Regret was expressed at John N. May's inability to be present or con- tinue to hold the office of treasurer, ow- ing to sickness. W. N. Craig was ap- pointed on the executive committee in place of Robert Simpson. M. H. Walsh, F. R. Newbold and A. Farenwald were also elected members of the same com- mittee, Messrs. Walsh and Farenwald to serve for three years. Messrs. Walsh and Siebrecht recom- mended the sending out of advance premium lists not later than November 5. Mr. Montgomery thanked the mem- bers for re-election and assured them he would spare no effort to make the Bos- ton meeting in 1906 a much better one than they had seen that week. There being no further business the meeting adjourned. The Banquet. The banquet tendered by the horti- cultural interests of Boston to the visit- ing members of the American Rose So- ciety was held at the Hotel Thorndike Friday evening. Over 100 were present, including a number of ladies. James Wheeler, president of the Boston Gar- deners' and Florists' Club, presided. The banquet room was beautifully decorated. American Beauty roses were especially prominent. These and other flowers were contributed by Waban Conservatories, W. H. Elliott, M. A. Patten, Wm. Nich- olson and other prominent growers and were used with great taste by Elijah A. Wood, who had charge of the decora- tions. James Wheeler welcomed the guests in a few well chosen words and introduced W. J. Stewart as toast-master. He com- mended the members for honoring Mr. Montgomery with a re-election and intro- duced that gentleman as the first speak- er. Mr. Montgomery spoke briefly and feelingly, thanking the members of the Rose Society for the confidence in him and for help at the show. F. H. Traendly, president of the New York Florists' Club, was called on to speak for the American Rose Society, He said he considered it in the nature of a joke to be called on for a speech, but he much appreciated the hospitality shown. A. Farenwald spoke for Philadelphia and district. He said he had admired the )062 The Weekly Florists' Review* March 30, 1905. aemiuuted previous to 1903, lirsl, John X. Mii.v, Gen. MucArtliur.

This apjilies in large measure to roses for ouhloor eullivatioii. as well as to those grown under glass', and 1 am in- ilined to think tiiat th(> former is the larger lield for the hybridist, and with a reasonable amount of encouragement, I preiliet that the near fiuure will see eiinimendabh' prngress made in a truly .\ineriean type of roses adapted to the iliniatic conditions found here.

The commercial man ought to be alive to the fact that if the rose is to hold the jdace of honor and profit he must have some- thing to keep the buying public from bicomiiig tired of seeing only the few familiar old varieties, however meritori- ous they may be.

EVERBLOOMING LORRAINE. It does not appear to be very com- monly known, says a writer in the Gar- deners' Magazine, that by cutting away the exhausted flower trusses and very lightly cutting back the growths of Be- gonia Gloire de Lorraine, that plants may be caused to freely break into fresh growth, and again blossom as freely as in the first place. By treating batches o'f plants in this manner in succession, a lengthy and splendid show can be easily maintained, even up to midsum- mer. Careful watering, a cool stove temperature, and shade from bright sun- shine, are all the cultural requirements. We find plants either grown in pots, or baskets, when suspended in a warm house afford a gorgeous display well into the summer. MISCELUNEOUS SEASONABLE HINTS. Bulbous Stock for Easter. Several correspondents mention in their notes of last week that bulbous stuff is likely to be scarce at Easter on account of Easter arriving so late. I should think you would have to cross the Eock- ies or go far south for this to occur. If you have kept your tulips, hyacinths, and narcissi out of doors, covered with a few inches of soil and the same of straw manure, there has been such a covering of snow that little if any frost has touched the soil in the flats and every day now they will be reaching up to daylight. The greatest trouble now is to keep the stems from becoming long and crooked. When tulips begin to hang over the flats and stems are weak and twisted, they are no longer very salable. Another thing to consider is that if they are left out much longer they will be through the covering of litter and their leaves will quickly expand and then it is a terrible job to get the flats cleaned of the covering. These bulbous flowers are not such a very important flower at Easter, but you may as well have them right, after all the labor and expense. We feel sure that two weeks on the greenhouse bench will be all the time necessary to give the single ^ulips, Dutch hyacinths. Von Sion narcissi or any of the Trumpet nar- cissi. If making too much growth out- side, then put up a cold frame not less than two feet deep, raise the sash bar back and fron1», so that a draught of air will pass over them, and heavily shade the sash. If the flats are cleaned and placed in such a frame it will retard them more than if left in the beds and if the weather should be bright and mild they will want no greenhouse at all. Making Up Pans. If you neglected (I was going to say forgot) to put the bulbs in pans last fall you can still h^ve hyacinths and tulips in most acceptable shape in any sized pan you chootfie and it is no im- position on your cu8;toBaBr^. I have seen tulips pulled out of ' flafe this winter, very ruthlessly made-up into pots and pans and delivered right away. They last in bloom jusrt about as long as those grown in the pans. Yet don't do it carelessly. Get ail the roots you can. Never mind if all the soil shakes off and always do this transplanting when the soil in the flats is wet. Hyacinths we transplant just as they are showing col- or, tulips and narcissi a little later, about when they are full grown, but the petals not expanded. This plan is very workable with Dutch hyacinths and with narcissi and tulips if they have straight, stout stems, but if your Yel- low Prince or Cottage Maid have as- sumed the graceful form of a swan's neck, don't attempt it, for it cannot be done. This is also the very best plan to make up a pan or pot of lily of the valley. Let the bells be nearly all open. As they make no root in the sand that you forced them in, they do not suffer in the least from a change to the pan and you can select stems of equal growth. Fill the pan as thickly as you like. Speaking of pans and pots, the ordi- nary pan is rather shallow for some of these things, valley for instance, and the ordinary pot is deep for its width and rather unsightly for the purpose for which these arrangements are often used, table decorations perhaps, so we use what may be called the half pot, but which we know as the azalea pot. Wliere you put four or five longiflorum lilies into a 10 or 12-inch azalea pot it is just the thing, while the ordinary pot would look unwieldy. Lilies for Easter. Now that I have mentioned this im- portant plant we may as well finish all that can be said about it for Easter. If when you read these lines some of the largest buds are turning white, you are all right. When once the buds are white they will open in a cool, shady house and flowers that are open will last ten days in a cool, dark shed. The darkness is of importance. Plants that are later, say with buds from two to three inches long, will come along very fast now and be there in time if you give them 60 to 65 degrees at nifeht. The ifirjt year we grew the black- stemine4 "giganteum many came t very dwarf, /4n>'they are again this yeai> but thev were vioi a failure. You caiijitake a Dig sharp jtnife (yo^r wife 's carving knift suits be^t) and slice down thje ball of a plant grown in a 6-inch pot until it is only wur inches square and then you can squeeze three of these plants into an 8-inch azalea pot,' or five plants into a 12-inch, and so on. The plants will open evety bud and be in appear- ance equal to one undisturbed. »- They have lost roots, lotg of them, but the fresh cut roots take up enough mois- ture to keep them going until the flow- ers are faded. This you can do with any of these lilies, tall or dwarf, but with the very short ones it helps out wonderfully and we realize almost as much as if sold singly. "What beauti- ful lilies! A new variety, I suppose," exclaimed many ladies. "Yes ma'am, quite new." This Easter we should not hesitate to tell our patrons that these beautiful little , lilies are the ' * Kuro- kiensis ' ' variety ! Sweet Peas. Don't forget that the favorite sweet peas should be sown just as soon as you can work the ground. Two years aiTo we sowed in the open ground on March» 9. That was very early for these parts. If you prepared the trenches last fall and dug in a liberal allowance of manure, you have a great advantage now, for you have only to draw a drill three inches deep with the hoe, and in goes the seed. If that were not done then too, heavily manure and plow the whole patch where the peas are going. This must be done directly the land can be worked. Let the rows be four feet apart and sow thinly. Go up and down the row with the hoe, making a broad, deep trench. You need riot fill in all the soil at once. When you hoe after the peas are up a few inches you can pull in the remainder of the soil. If possible let the rows run north and south arid when the peas are four or five inches high put brush both sides of' the rows. Don't wait until the vine is sprawling on the ground. Brush from the woods may be difficult to procure on the fat prairies of Illinois or the spruce cov- ered rocks of Colorado, but I cannot think of anything equal for supporting peas. Pansies. This has been a most favorable win- ter for those universal favorites, the pansies. Many of the beds in the Buf- falo parks were filled with pansies last October and with a light covering of straw the plants are now large and thrifty and soon will be showing their saucy faces to the public. Usually, if not hurt by the winter blasts, the plants are heaved up, and sometimes there is an inch or two of wiry stem. As soon as the ground is at all dry go over all the plants in your beds and with two fingers and one thumb press the little plants firmly into the ground. It will be the making of them. Pruning Shrubs. About now the florist who does a general business and wishes to accom- modate his good customers in all their reasonable demands is called upon to prune shrubs. They are often victims of men who go around asking for the job, "professors" with a pair of gloves, a knife and saw, who know as much about it as they do of the flora of Nep- tune. Anybody can cut two feet off the shoot of last year's growth, but that is not pruning. Anywhere towards spring, or before the leaf or flower buds start, is the time and in our latitude now or for the next few weeks is the ideal time. While on this subject let me say that deciduous trees can seldom be improved with pruning and do not need it. Their natural form is their beauty and, unless imperative, leave pruning of these until they have made their growth. If grow- . ; . ;v':'Prj|,y\ji' Maech 30, 1905. •■' The Weddy Florists' Review. 1067 A Department Store Decoration at Kansas Qty, by "W, J. Barnes. ing or getting too dense, prune at the end of July. You will see better then just what is necessary to cut away. Evergreens, so-called, also want little pruning unless used for hedges, and this is better done in July. The time to prune a hedge of a decid- uous shrub will depend entirely on what the shrub is. If it is privet, then now is the time to prune and it should be pruned back to within five or six inches of where the growth started last spring. A chapter could be written on the mis- management of these privet hedges. It is more often due to the impatience of the owner, who wants a fine hedge in about two years. The increase in its size must be slow and gradual. It should be broad at the base, narrowing to the top. It is more times seen the reverse and when that is the case there are only naked stems for a foot or two, as ornamental as a board fence! The beautiful little Berberis Thun- bergii, so hardy and neat, should be pruned now. It is not right to attempt to keep this plant as formal as a privet. Cutting back the strongest growths with a' knife is all that should be done. The cydonia (Japanese quince) makes a most beautiful hedge. Don't touch it until it is out of flower; then prune. The African tamarix is also used for a hedge where formality is not wanted. It should not be touched in the spring until its innumerable little pink blossoms are gone ; then cut hard back. When to Prune. Broadly speaking, nearly all shrubs can be classed into two groups as far as pruning is concerned; viz., those that set their flower buds in the fall and those that flower on the current or spring and summer , growth. We will take the common lilac as an example of the first group. The lilac sets its flower buds the previous summer and fall and is ready to burst into bloom at Gen. Spring's summons. Now, to cut back severely the last summer's growth would resylt in your getting a strong growth but little flower. So all this class, if pruning is necessary at all, and it does amount to a necessity with some, should be pruned directly the bloom has dropped. As an example of the other group, or those which should be pruned in earlv snring, we will take the popular hardy Hydrangea paniculata. If you left all the last year's wood you would get a growth from every eye, but it would be crowded and weak and the flowers would be small. By cutting last summer's growth back to, say, four or five eyes you would get plenty of strong growths and large flowers. There are also shrubs that, when well established, want to be left alone. Here are a few familiar shrubs and the time to prune them. Prune in spring: H. P. roses, Hv- drangea paniculata grandiflora, weigelia, golden elder, late flowering spiraeas, al- theas in variety, berberis, philadelphus, symphoricarpos. Prune after flowering: Pynis Jap- onica, forsythia, tamarix, Prunus trilo- ba, dwarf almond, Spiraea prunfolia, deutzia, lilac, hardy azaleas, staphylea. A very good guide is that the early flowering shrubs should be pruned after flowering and the late flowering kinds before they start in the spring. William Scott.

We are in receipt of the following communication from a Philadelphia reader who addresses his letter "Dear Review" and refers to himself as an amateur florist, which he certainly ig not. He probably meant amateur con- tributor, but his ideas are worthy of consideration, and we take pleasure in printing the letter: "I trust that it may not be thought conceited for me, an amateur florist, to give some ideas to professionals. I have learned much from you; the articles you print have helped me much in my little business, but to the point. ' ' The carnation from the buyers ' point of view is losing its value. It was fash- ionable, it became popular and now it is getting out of date. Still the growers devote much space and time to its culti- vation. The papers are full of pictures of new sorts and the best methods of raising them. The florists and growers appreciate their size and beauty, but the public does not. To them Lawson and our great Fiancee are the same, both pink carnations, nothing more. "I arrange decorations. Recently when we were discussing flowers for a dinner table, the lady threw up her hands and exclaimed: 'Not carnations! I would as soon give my guests plain boiled potatoes, as the carnations one sees everywhere.' "There is a great demand for flowers one does not see everywhere and has not seen for a number of years past at all the private and public entertainments. I have tried to get camellias and prim- roses enough to make up into many bou- quets, without much success. In Paris I could have been supplied with any amount of them in their season.

"I run two small greenhouses and have made a successful experiment in late planting of tuberous begonias, so as to have them in good bloom under glass in October, after all outdoors is frozen and before cyclamen, primroses, Lor- raine, etc., are ready. The buying public does not care to have flowers like carna- tions that are on the market twelve months in the year. Violets have been overdone. I am sure the growers can think of some stock with which they can more profitably fill their houses in the future." G. K. SEASONABLE NOTES. With the advent orf spring, when we may explect long periods of sunshine, vqe can indulge more freely in ventilation an5 as the. spring growth has now made its appearance it is absolutely necessary to give air freely in order to keep the foliage from becoming soft and to en- courage the setting of buds. By judicious ventilation we may also in a great measure prevent the ravages of mUdew, which from now on during the remainder of the season is one of our most persistent enemies and, as less firing will be required from day to day, our means of curtailing its inroads are lessened. Intelligent use of the venti- lators .will help us materially in our fight. The essential elements in the soil being now partly exhausted, we must resort to some method of supplying food to our stock, as the heavy growths demand a constant sup- ply in order to perfectly develop both foliage and bud. A light, rich mulch should now be applied, as this fills the double purpose of supplying food and protecting the tender feeding roots, which have approached the surface, from being injured by the intense sunshine. When the mulching is partly exhausted liquid feeding should be applied, especial- ly where the plants are strong and healthy, as they are fully capable of digesting this class of food, which is more immediate in its results than mulch- ing. It has also the advantage that it can be applied to the crop at the proper time and at the required strength to suit the case. As the weather gets warmer our old enemy, red spider, will begin to get busy if not looked after sharply, but as we can now use water more freely we can by the exercise of a little energy and careful observation keep them in check. Thrips and green fly will also multiply rapidly if left undisturbed for even a short period and it is well to have them in strict subjection before the warm weather really commences, when fumiga- tion becomes more difi&cult and injurious to the plants. As the busy season of Easter ap- proaches, when work accumulates so rapidly and every hour is fully occupied, these duties must not be neglected, as we must remember that our customers will require their wants supplied after the hurry and bustle of Easter are past and that they will then be no less critical as to quality and it is a hard matter to keep the quality up to the standard after that period, even under the best of treatment. Young grafted stock should be care- fully looked after, so that no injury may happen to the union by the tying material becoming too tight and cutting into the bark, as this is liable to happen when growth is strong. It is also well to keep all suckers removed before they become strong, as they are much easier kept in check if taken at that stage and do less injury, both to stock and scion. BiBES. ROSES FOR NEXT SPRING SALES. What is the cheapest method of prop- agating and wintering Crimson Bamb- ler. Baby Bambler and bedding roses for spring sales 1906 f J. P. K. It's not quite clear to me whether you want these plants for forcing in spring of 1906 or only to sell to customers for their gardens. It is late now to prop- agate. Eamblers are propagated from the half-ripened wood in October and kept cool all winter. They also root freely in February from blind shoots of the plants you are forcing. These young plants, put in the open ground in May, will be strong plants in the fall. If for planting out the following spring they are better left in the open ground. They may kill down to within a few inchefl of the ground, but are none the worse for that, as you would cut them down when transplanting. If you intend to force Eamblers next year, then buy some strong one-year-old pljftits at once and put them in 6-inch pots. Cut them low down, start cool and grow them under glass until August. By that time they should have made four or five canes, five or six feet long. These plants force with ease the following win- ter. By bedding roses we must assume is meant the teas, hybrid teas and Bour- bons. That great and splendid class of roses called hybrid remontant or hybrid perpetual are not really perpetual, al- though under good cultivation some va- rieties do send up a sprinkling of flowers throughout the fall. Our finest teas are also not satisfactory outdoors. While a few of the teas, all the hybrid teas and Bpurbons are the roses for summer blooming, Maman Cochet and its white form are pure teas and great summer roses. President Carnot and La France are hybrid teas. Hermosa and Mrs. De- Graw are Bourbons. I have only se- lected these few as types of their class. They are propagated from September on until frost arrives, from the wood made during summer, just as you do the tea roses m winter. If old plants are start- ed in February you can propagate from youngs growths as late as May. You doubtless know that tender, succulent growth of roses will jiot root and it must have attained a certain firmness. Plants rooted in October, if wintered cool and shifted and started to grow in March, will make acceptable bedding roses in May, yet most people want a good-sized plant and if young plants are put into the open ground in May, lifted and potted in early November and win- tered in a very cool house, or even in a cold frame, they will be fine plants for bedding in the following spring. The man who has this style of plants can al- ways command a good price for them. W. S. HAHDY GARDEN ROSES. [A pai>er by M. H. Walsb, read before the American Rose Society at Boston, March 24, 1905.] A great deal has been written by em- inent rosarians and poets often have sung the praises of the most beautiful of flowers, the queen of them all, the rose. This flower is pre-eminently en- titled to this honor for the many pur- poses for which it is valued from the cradle to the grave. It is cheering to note the awakening of a new and live interest which is be- ing manifested by amateurs and others in the growing of hardy garden roses. The incresed demand for these plants for the past five years is sufficient proof. About twenty years ago the National Eose Society of England was organized, the aim and object of this society being to promote and encourage the culture of the rose and to disseminate practical in- formation for the proper growth and cul- tivation of this flower. It is through the untiring efforts and the influence of this organization that the rose is so generally grown by the amateur and the cottager as well as by the wealthy class. The American Eose Society is or- ganized on practically the same principle, the aim and object being to promote a greater interest in the growing of the rose and to educate in its culture those who love the flower and desire to grow it. The American Eose Society includes in its membership men, the greater part of whose lives have been devoted large- ly to the growing of roses, and who by their wide eij>enence are well qualifled to give the information so many people desire in relation to rose culture. The amateur rose growers especially are seek- ing and anxious to receive such direc- tions. There are several essentials in the growing of roses. The first is the soil; this would apply in a general way. A large number who buy roses know noth- ing about what soil is best suited for these plants. This I know from my ex- \y^j"^''- Mabch 30, 1006. The Weekly Rorists' Review* i069 perience with purchasers. Whila they are often familiar with the varieties, they admit they know nothing whatever about preparing the ground. Hundreds of these people would be willing to be- come members of the Eose Society, could they receive some practical cultural direc- tions concerning rose growing. It is surprising how many buy roses and continue to buy and replace them simply through lack of knowledge how to properly care for them. They buy through love of the flower for its own sake. Many know not whether they should be planted on the north side or in a southern exposure. They are not familiar with and know practically noth- ing about pruning and properly guard- ing against insect pests. In fact, the large majority of those who buy roses year after year have but little practical knowledge relating to the proper care and the attention these plants require for successful growth. It seems to the writer that the Eose Society should give practical cultural di- rections and instructions to those seek- ing such, and begin and educate the masses who are interested in roses. This could be done by publishing a practical treatise on the rose for the amateur, or could be issued in the form of a bul- letin to all members of the society. When this became known I believe the membership would rapidly increase and the bulletin, if found desirable, could give information applicable to all points of this country. There are members well qualified in the different sections of the country to give the practical cultural directions treating on soil, situation, pruning, selection of varieties of hybrid teas, hybrid perpetuals, Japanese and ^eir hybrids, climbing roses, Eambler roses and their various uses. This matter wisely followed up would make the Eose Society the oflScial or- gan, the recognized authority on all mat- ters relating to the rose. At the pres- ent time the society may not be ready to take up this matter or approve of these suggestions, but I feel sure they will receive their earnest consideration. The Carnation Society is prosperous and the grand results in the increasing popularity of this flower, the perfection of the blooms in color, size and texture are surprising and gratifying. The Chry- santhemum Society is prosperous and the wonderful advance in the development of Cattleya Mossiae. thisflower is marvelous. The peony has also a society and they are formulating plans for the classification and correct naming of the varieties. These societies are to be congratulated for the zeal and perseverance and for the grand and noble work they ,have done in their respective spheres. The Eose Society is waking to a rea- lization of its duties which is gratify- ing, and the officers of the society have worked zealously the last year, and are entitled to the thanks and hearty co- operation of all its members. Let us hope that the interest now being mani- fested will stimulate our rose growers to produce new and superior varieties of American origin and better adapted to our climate. May the good work continue and the rose always hold the honor and title of queen of flowers and the garden! CATTLEYA MOSSIAE. The accompanying illustration is re- produced from a photograph taken at the greenhouses of H. G. Selfridge, Lake Geneva, Wis., whose orchid grower, C. H. Gebhardt, supplies the foUowihg note on the plant &ad its culture : "This is a very free flowering spe- cies from La Guayra. It blooms from March to the first part of summer. The flowers are large, six inches across, three or four growing on one spike. We have many shades of colors, from pale pink to crimson and rose purple. We grow them in fern roots vrith a little moss and keep them in the cat- tleya house with the rest. We grow nearly all cattleyas in the Brazilian house. We supply them with plenty of heat and atmospheric moisture and not too much water at the roots when growing. We keep them syringed twice a day in bright weather. After growth is completed we allow them to rest and keep them rather dry, giving them just enough water to keep them from shriveling. Cattleyas require all the light possible, so we do not shade so heavily and give them plenty of ventilation in bright weather, but do not expose to draughts." A FINE HYDRANGEA. Just at this time, when growers are watching their Easter plants with solic- itous eye, it is of interest tf» see to what the hydrangea attains in favored localities in England. The plant illus- trated had 147 heads and the size is ap- ptarent in the picture. In Cornwall, Devon and Hastings the older plants often reach greater size but frequently the growths are permitted to be so crowded that the flower heads do not attain full development. Hydrangeas, especially the hortensis type, are great feeders. They should have a heavy, rich loam with good drainage, so that abundant water may be supplied while growing and flowering. H. paniculata is hardy, but H. hortensis will not stand many degrees of frost. FRAME FOR VIOLETS. I have a frame 6x90 along the south side of the rose house, heated by one run, flow and return, of 2-inch water pipes. Is this place good to grow vio- lets! If so, kindly tell what soil is best, when to plant, what kind of plants and general treatment. Will want the frame for vegetable plants in March. J. P. K. I think you can grow violets in the frame; 40 to 45 degrees at night is high enough and if it dropped to freez- ing point they will not be ruined. Plant in a good, rather heavy loam. The ideal would be a sod laid up last fall, with a fifth or sixth of cow manure mixed The Hydrangea in a Favored Situation. 1070 The Weekly Florists' Review.

Keep the red-spider away by daily syringing and the black fly de- stroyed or, better, prevented by tobacco , dust. The situation south of a rose house will be a hot one and you should have the m«ans of shading on all bright, sunny days. Nothing is better or quick- er applied than a roll of cheese-cloth, but let it be at least a foot above the plants, so that there is a free and abun- dant circulation of air on the plants. Put your glazed sash on the frame by the end of September. "We have seen perfect novices succeed with violets won- derfully the first year or two. We have also, alas, seen veterans fail most won- derfully after years of experience. All about violets cannot be told in a few lines and it is well worth buying a book on them, written by a specialist. I meant to add, start with a young plant propa- gated this spring from a cutting, and we think there is no variety so good as the Imperial, an improvement on the beautiful Marie Louise. W.

Then there's another bewildering ques- tion: The small town producer with 1.000 or l..")00 feet of glass who does grow his own stock, carnations especially, such as they are! Flowers that take stretching to reach the 2-inch line on the gauge. Stems that wobble most helplessly if they reach over a foot in length. They also sell at from 25 to 35 cents per dozen. How they man- age to make salt at that price, with fuel and labor where they are at pres- ent, is certainly too great a problem for this weak brain to solve. But that's not the question. You show carnations lap- ping the 3-inch line out of sight, stems eighteen to twenty inches, nice and stiff, with nice crisp foliage clear up. "How much!" "Fifty cents." "Why so and so in Scrabbletown never asks more than 35 cents!" That very stock probably cost you 3 tents, and you know "so and so's" stock won 't touch it, but — what are you going to do about it, as the bandit said when he held a man up with his own pistol? Won 't some of the floral sages please pive "balm of Gilead " or wise coun- sel of some sort as to a remedy, verbal or otherwise, for this trul.v vexing trouble (worse than Primula obconica poisoning for most of us).

It looks as though there would be plenty of lilies of low quality but none too many of good grade. Only four large lots are in sight but there are many smaller ones. There continue to be large supplies of asparagus but smilax is becoming scarce. Common ferns are not keeping well and require a great deal of picking over. Wild smilax also is of inferior quality. Florists' Qub. The Florists' Club's trade show was held on a very rainy day, which reduced the number of exhibitors and visitors, but both were satisfactory and a good many orders were placed. The display which attracted most attention was a vase of Lady Margaret carnation. The judges scored it ninety points and awarded a certificate. Weiland & Risch exhibited 100 Brides and 100 Maids, won- derful stock for this season. The grow- er is D. .1. Murphy, a new man in these parts but evidently one who knows his business. John Breitmeyer's Sons sent La Detroit with five-foot stems and three vases of splendid antirrhinum, yellow, white and pink. The E. F. Winterson Co. showed a glass case of Easter chicks and ducks, ribbon, boxes and fern dishes, also vases and Boston ferns. The Gar- field Park Flower Co. brought a fine lot of plants, including hydrangeas, lilies, primroses, a beautiful Prof. Welters azalea, etc Vaughan's Greenhouses had a fine table of plants, including Baby Rambler and Pink Rambler roses, rhodo- dendrons, box trees, etc. H. N. Bruns had two finely decorated pans of good valley. J. W. Dudley- & Son, Parkers- burg, W. Va., sent three hydrangeas of just the size the average retailer likes and will doubtless profit by their enter- prise. J. E. Haines, of Bethlehem, Pa., sent his red carnation. Everybody likes it but it had suffered somewhat on its long journey in a pasteboard box. The Winandy Matter. An agreement has been reached among the creditors of Michael Winandy where- by the assets have been turned over to three trustees, Peter Reinberg, E. C. Day, who was the receiver appointed by the court, and Carl Ickes, of the A. Dietsch Co. They have placed Jake Greiner, formerly at Reinberg 's, in charge of the greenhouses and expect to be able to make some money out of them next season, although it will require that a considerable investment be made during the summer to put the place in shape. The receiver now has a claim on his own account, for several hundred dollars, the sum representing the differ- ence between receipts and expenses since he took charge. The trustees on Tuesday sold the Winandy wholesale store at 51 Wabash avenue to John Zeck and Matt Mann, who took possession at once and are doing a commission business under the name of Zeck & Mann. Mr. Zeck, who has been years in the business, with J. A. Budlong and later with E. C. Amling, is a hard worker and well equipped to make the business a success. Mr. Mann is a well known grower north of town. The Moninger Fire. At two o'clock last Thursday morning a watchman discovered fire on the second floor of the greenhouse material mill of the John C. Moninger Co. It looked as though the plant was to be wiped out right in the height of the firm's busiest season, but thanks to the good work of the fire department and the fact that they keep their mill very clean, the fire was put out with a loss of only $3,000 to $4,000, insured. Two or three valu- able machines were destroyed but they were such as could be replaced without delay and the factory was running next day as usual. More Carnations. Jacob Philip, at Rogers Park, has six houses in . Jettuce and on Monday will begin the erection of six more houses, each 24x142 and will plant the whole place to carnations for next season. Peter Reinberg is supplying him with 65,000 cuttings of standard sorts. Mr. Philip is one of the well known growers in his vicinity and it is not unlikely that several of his neighbors will follow his lead, for lettuce prices have been low this season. Various Notes. T. D. Moscenosotes is said to have given a bill of sale to his brother. C. M. Dickinson has returned to his desk after an absence of seven weeks, spent in regaining his health in the south. F. F. Benthey has returned from two weeks' trip to New Orleans, Memphis, Little Rock and St. Louis. He reports trade active at those points and every- body anticipating a good spring busi- ness. M. F. Kyle has taken charge of the greenhouses at the Home of the Incur- ables. Geo. Pieser has opened a flower store in the basement of 72 Randolph street. Kennicott Bros. Co. continues to re- ceive considerable quantities of purple lilac, which sells well. All the greenhouse material men re- port this the busiest season to date, most- ly work for the smaller growers through the middle west, but it will doubtless be cheering intelligence to the local whole- salers that much of it is rebuilding and not new glass. The E. F. Winterson Co. has moved its oflSce to the north side of the store and is now much more conveniently situ- ated. Carl Thomas, of the A. L. Randall Co., says he looks for a different market proposition next week, when the large number of spring openings will call for large lots of stock. Vaughan & Sperry are showing a fine.

Mention The Review when yon write large, light pink seedling rose raised by George Hopp, of Grand Bapids. It has the same blood as La Detroit but is not at all like it except in color. It is a great keeper. George Asmus says that he thinks bulbous stock in pans is going to be very hard to get for Easter. Sis own stock he has had to bring in. O. W. Frese has resigned his position as salesman for George Eeinberg. C. W. McKellar is getting regular shipments of gardenias. This flower has never had the popularity here it enjoys in the east but all the leading retailers are using a few. WJiile at St. Louis the other day, J. S. Wilson was elected as honorary mem- ber of the St. Louis Florists' Club. He was a charter member when the club was organized there, twenty-three years ago. Visitors: J. A. Evans, Richmond, Ipd.; Prof. A. S. Beal, Champaign, HI.; W. A. Hartman, South' Haven, Mich. BOSTON. Tlie Market On some days we have had a rather ^™&gy market, but taken on the whole it has been very good for Lent. On March 25 something of a boom took place and hardly a flower remained in the ice-chests. Roses are coming more plentifully. Prices remain about the same. Some extra good hybrids are com- ing in. Too few of these are now grown as compared with a few years ago. Car- nations have sold as high as $4 on some occasions. The price for good stock seems to be $1.50 to $3, poorer grades going lower. Violets are in lessening sup- ply and improve somewhat in price. All good flowers bring 50 cents, extras going to 60 and 75 cents. Bulbous stock re- mains about the same, clearing out re- markably well. There is no particular change in lilies, callas, valley, sweet peas and green goods. Florists' Qob. At the meeting on March 21, in spite of the snowy weather, sixty-five mem- bers were present and nine new members were elected during the evening. Ken- neth Finlayson spoke of the way in which American carnation names were being changed in Europe and thought the club might take some action toward preventing it. J. W. Duncan reported that E. N. Peirce & Son would like the club to visit their establishment about three weeks before Easter. The matter was referred to the executive committee. W. H. Elliott spoke at length on his recent West Indian trip, where he cov- ered over 6,000 miles by water and a considerable distance on land. Bermuda, 800 miles from Boston, was first visited. Little patches of liliums were dotted all over the island. Stevens & Co., the big- gest growers, produce 1,200,000 bulbs. They are growing stock now on St. David's Island, where they expect to be able to keep them clear of disease. A good deal of disease was noticed on the main island. Strawberries were ripe early in February and would continue to produce until May. The people of the island are very progressive. In Porto Eico the vegetation in the mountains is most luxuriant, reminding him of a big show house, the variety of plants being immense. Two hundred acres of Sumatra tobacco grown under canvas by the American Tobacco Co. was an interesting sight. In Jamaica the Castleton Garden and Hope Garden at Kingston were remarkably fine. Arau- caria excelsa eighty feet high was noted and cotton trees with a spread of over 250 feet. Santiago-de-Cuba was the hottest place visited, the temperature in the shade there being 93 degrees. He was disappointed with San Juan hill. For florists Havana seemed to offer a good field. Very poor roses were selling at 50 cents per dozen on the streets and wretched little pansies at 35 cents per bunch. Nassau was last visited and was a vei^ interesting place. Various Notes. With the Carnation and Rose Societies both meeting here next spring Boston is getting its full quota of conventions. The peony people no doubt will want to meet with us in June, 1906, and ru- mor has it that the S. A. F. will be next in line. The visiting members paid visits to the flower markets and Welch Bros.' em- porium. They highly complimented the new market people on their location. Edward Powell, who was a regu- lar exhibitor at the Boston shows until two years ago, died at Bedlands, Cal., on March 22. He was a Welshman and came to America in 1891. He leaves a widow and three children. Robert Miller, recently at Butte^ Mont., and at one time at the Waban Conservatories, has bought two green- houses and started in business at East Bridgewater, Mass. One of our out of town growers shipped a quantity of carnations to one of the markets on March 20. They came off color and in poor shape and nothing over 50 cents per hundred was offered for them, so they went into the ice-chest. Five days later, with a brisk market, they were trotted out, $1 per hundred readily secured and no questions asked. At the recent banquet a story was told of a prominent local hybridist who recently took the good wife for a visit to a fellow craftsman and met with a curious accident. In the "wee sma' hoors ayout the hoor o' twal" an awful crash awoke the hosts. Investigation found the bed in sections all over the room and the former occupants awake on the floor and wondering what had hit them. W. N. Craig. Winona, Ind. — Tony Kelker has been appointed gardener for the Pennsylvania railroad here. LocKPORT, N. Y.— D. T. McCarthy & Sons are building two connected houses 26x100 with material from the King Con- struction Co. Urbana, III. — F. M. Webster, who has been for some years at the State Agricultural College and who has done much insect investigation work for flo- rists, including a study of the minute white worm which inflicted so much loss on rose growers about Chicago three or four years ago, has resigned. He will go to Washington to take charge of field crop insect investigations for the Department of Agriculture. Mabch 30, 1005. The We^y Horists' Review. J073 I.

Messrs :-- Some weeks ago I wrote asking you to stop my advertise- ments, and saying that no answers to my advertisements of Dahlias and Daisies had "been received, though a hundred to my advertisement for help. You replied that something must be the matter with the plant advertisements. There was: It was simply that they were put in too soon, rushing the season. No sooner had I taken them out than replies to them, and orders, came pouring in, and my stock was sold. The buying time had come around. I realize now that my advertisements were in the minds of these people, who in their own time, when they wanted the goods, answered them. * . I beg your pardon, if I gave the impression that I blamed the Review. it was the fault of too early advertising.

The Market With the coming of spring showers, zephyrs and sunshine the market lias begun to ' ' sit up and take notice ' ' and a spirit of optimism prevails which will continue right through the Easter cele- bration. Prices have undoubtedly touched bottom and if there is any immediate change it must be for the better. There is consolation in clearing the ice-boxes daily at some figure. The street mer- chants virtually monopolize the violet business. Eoses are plentiful and of superb quality. Carnations must be first-class to "bring satisfactory figures and the medium and low grades go at the buyers' offer. Lilies have steadied in value and are beginning their march toward the Eas- ter standard. Orders for the best stock in pots have been heavily booked at 12 cents a flower. This will probably be the top, but there is no longer any doubt that the best quality will maintain this quotation to the end. Bulbous stock has decreased in volume. Smilax still brings 15 cents for the highest grade. The plant delivery has already begun, judg- ing by the retail windows. It looks as though it would be a continuous Easter in that respect from now until the day itself arrives. At Rutherford. A visit to the establishment of Bob- bink & Atkins, Rutherford, N. J., is in- spiring nowadays, so various and extens- ive are the interests of this enterprising firm. In the nursery department an im- mense force is already busy packing and shipping to all parts of the country. The plant tub factory is in full blast and the stock of roses, lilies, azaleas, lilacs, rhododendrons and other blooming plants for Easter seems unlimited. Bob- bink & Atkins have just issued their new catalogue, a handsome book of over 100 pages and some idea of the progress of the house may be seen in the work, which is issued at a cost of 50 cents each. Over the way, at the great establish- ment of the Julius Boehrs Co., the stock of Easter flowering plants is only limited by the capacity of the houses. It is all in fine condition and comprises many novelties and all the old standard sorts. There must be 20,000 pots of lilies on the way. The orchid department, under the management of Edward Eoehrs, is growing. Another new house is to be erected at once for the overflow. The company was reorganized in February and under its present name will doubt- less continue for a century. Julius Eoehrs, Sr., is president, Julius Eoehrs, Jr., treasurer, and Edward Eoehrs, di- rector. Various Notes. Prof. Dacre, with Young & Nugent, demonstrates his skill by artistic window dressing daily. A dream in valley and E'nchantress was his Saturday offering. There is a continual change worthy of Broadway here. Among the visitors last week were H. Schroeter and Fred Breitmeyer, of Detroit, and G. Tidy, of Toronto. The .New York visitors to the rose show included "W. F. Sheridan, F. HJ Traendly, J. B. Nugent, A. J. Guttman and Harry May. They all report a de- lightful time. Ford Bros, took possession of their new quarters Saturday and seem delighted with the change to Twenty-eighth street. They have one of the roomiest and best stores in New York for their wholesale business and their ice-box is about the size of a summer cottage. An immense cellar adds to their facilities. Electric lights, large oflSce convenicrices and splendid ventilation • and natural light at the end of the store leave noth- ing to be desired. Their confreres wel- come th^m to easy street. Additional subscriptions from A. Mil- ler, Moore, Hentz & Nash and the Beauty King to the outing athletic fund have arrived. Every member of the club will have a hand in making this year's outing a great success. April 10 is Easter plant night at the club, a fine opportunity for the growers. There are no better plants- men in America than in and around New York. Geo. Hildenbrand, salesman with John Young, has announced the advent of the youngest wholesaler on Twenty- eighth street, John Hildenbrand, Jr., a twelve-pounder, who arrived safely last week from the land of perpetual flow- er^ • The Parker-Bruen Mfg. Co., under new management, has opened an oflBce at 1133 Broadway. The factory remains at Harrison, N. J., where wire supports for carnations and tomatoes, pot hang- ers, glazing tacks, and other novelties are manufactured. The works are now being enlarged and facilities for a much larger business established. A large demand for their patent tomato support is developing from the south at present. That violet syndicate at Ehinebeck re- ferred to in our last is a reality and six big houses go up this summer as a starter. These with the fifty smaller ones already contracted for make the outlook for the violet season of 1905-06 somewhat hazy. John Scott, of Brooklyn, has pur- chased a fine home near his Flatbush greenhouses, where he will reside close to his Scottii factory, where Dame Na- ture is working overtime to be in readi-> , ness for the spring demand.

In the issue of March 23 your New York correspondent says among other things that on a certain day the Madison bowling team would "take its medi- cine" from which we may infer that in the final match at that date between the New York Florists' Club and the Madi- son Florists' Club, the New Yorkers were destined to win without question. The ' ' medicine ' ' must have been a tonic, for Madison won and the muse of Alfred Austin has fled. The only song he can sing over the occasion is a funeral dirge, for even his loose change was confiscated on that "black Friday" night and to quote his own words, "All that is left is a memory of better days." There was really no basis for suppos- ing that New York had an easy thing, since Madison had won four out of the March 30, 1905. The Weekly Florists' Review.

Conditions continue unfavorable in the cut flower market. Heavy production, combined with weak and irregular de- mand, make returns averaging anywhere near listed prices an impossibility. Good, roses are cheap and so plentiful that the poorer grades have no show whatever. Carnations have suffered severely. Even job lot sales will not carry off the sur- plus. Valley is more plentiful and now in excess of the demand. Violets are selling pretty well at low prices, but warm weather is rapidly destroying the quality as well as diminishing the quan- tity. Bulbous stock can be had at buy- ers' figures. Only fancy tulips sell, while the daffodil market has been completely swamped by the arrival of southern blooms. The bright features on this dark scene are the arrival of Gen. Jacque- minot roses at Bernheimer's and the snarp advance in price of smilax. Hardy ferns and wild smilax are also in fair demand. Indications point to an improve- ment at the opening of the month. Hope we won't be fooled! The Spring: Show. The spriyg exhibition of the Pennsyl- vania Horticultural Society opened in Horticultural H&ll, on Tuesday. It is a' very fine display. The plants are well grown and in good variety. The cut flowers are of excellent quality. A pair of handsome Bougainvillea Sanderiana in W. K. Harris' best style grace the stair- way. Below are some hydrangeas, ex- tremely well done, above a pretty group of flowering plants, including snowballs in pots from the W. H. Moon Company. The center of the main haU.is filled by a magnificent group of foliage and flower- ing plants, including some rare specimens from the commissioners of Fairmount park, who drew from their Horticultural Hall. This group was beautifully ar- ranged by the superintendent, Xavier E. Schmidt. There are two tables of choice orchids, one from Julius Roehrs, of Rutherford, N. J., the other from Lager & Hurrell, of Summit, N. J. Joseph Heacock, of Wyncote, sent a handsome group of well grown kentias in commercial sizes. The large private es- tates near this city sent many specimens, lilies, azaleas, cinerarias, primroses, palms, stove plants, geraniums, etc. John McCleary, gardener to Mrs. R. J. C. Wal- ker, and William Robertson, gardener to John W. Pepper, being notable exhibitors. The display of bulbous flowers is a feat- ure, the tulips in pans being a sight to warm the heart of a Holland traveler. There are some nice pot roses, Killar- ney and the Baby Rambler being seen for the first time here. The feature of the carnation display is John E. Haines, a superb scarlet brought with other seed- lings by the great grower and hybridizer, John E. Haines, of Bethlehem, Pa. There are many other fine blooms of standard sorts. W. & H. Mergenthaler have a vase of fancy Maids and Brides in Robert Jamison's happiest vein. Taken alto- gether the show merits Secretary Rust's brief comment of approval. It is good. Go up and see it. Logan. Hugh Graham is to be congratulated upon a large and varied assortment of Easter plants. He has 15,000 azaleas ap- parently skillfully timed and in fine con- dition. Nearly one half are Mme. Van der Cruyssen, the balance being chiefly Ber- nard Andre alba and Vervseneana, most- ly in " sixes. ' ' There are, I think, 6,000 or 8,000 lilies, chiefly longiflonim of good height, varying m the number of buds. Two thousand Spiraea superba, a variety which Mr. Grosshans, who cour- teously showed me over the place, con- siders of great merit. Some of the fol- iage standing up among the flowers adds grace. A few of these plants were splen- did specimens in "tens." The fhney hyacinths in three or four of the best sorts were still outside, with an ^.d^itional tent covering to keep back their grpwtii.' There were some large Crimson an^i a few dwarf Baby Ramblers, The feature of the Easter roses was a houise of vig- orous Ulrich Brunners in boxes with good stems just showing buds. Among the carnations Gov. Lowndes seemed especial-, ly prolific. There were half a dozen plants of a good seedling white with large flowers and good stem. . .... , Varioua Notes. ' ' t-i Joseph Heacock has a splendid lot of well grown kentias, his made-up plants being particularly fine. The Leo Niessen Co. is handling as high as 2,000 bunches of pansies daily. The United States Cut Flower Co., of Elmira, N. Y., is sending daily ship- ments of fine Beauties and other roses to Berger Bros. The Andorra Nurseries have a very fine lot of pin oaks in all sizes. M. Rice & Co. are offering special in- ducements to insure the moving of their Easter baskets before they go to their new quarters in June. C. F. Edgar, late of this city, is now with the United States Cut Flower Co. Paul Berkowitz says that his firm, Bay- ersdorfer & Co., is just as busy as busy can be. Samuel S. Pennock is handling a nice assortment of orchids. The leaders of the Philadelphia Cut Flower Co. are out on the road preparing for Easfter. J. J. Habermehl's Sons have had some busy days lately at the Bellevue-Strat- ford. A dinner on Saturday at short notice for 100 covers was very elaborate. Another good-sized affair on the same day was for the Five O'clock Club. Antoine Wintzer states that the Con- ard & Jones Co. benched twelve dor- mant grafted plants of Etoile de France in December last and from them he se- cured 250 cuttings, now growing nicely in 2% -inch pots. Another batch is just go- ing into the sand. Mr. WSntzer believes this rose will bear watching as a forcer. W. R. Gibson says that Philadelphia Jsfr ■j: vtj.

Lil- lian Pond has. weak stems and the flow- ers bui«t. They are planted in a solid bed. Would ground bone be of benefit! It is probable that the carnations have been grown too warm and too wet. In that case grow them cooler and let them dry out a little, but do not go to extremes. Dust the soil light- ly with air-slaked lime. Most soils are benefited by an application of pure bone. It might be well to apply the lime and get the soil in good condition before putting on . the bone and mixed with or lightly covered by soil. The vast majprity of carnations under glass are grown on benches. Lillian Pond has been giving trouble in a number of places. 39. — ^What causes yellow spots on my Easter lUiest Possibly Dad glass, in which case touch each blister with paint; but more likely the disease, for which no cure is known. Destroy the plants that are badly affected. Grow the others care- fully. Phii* BUFFALO, Various Gmunent. They are nearly all complaining of rather slow business. Violets have been sold very cheaply, but still the ladies did not wear them at the dog show last week, thinking that the two odors might cause some dangerous combinvUuu. Car- nations are very plentiful and quality fine; From present appearance there will be an abundance of Easter stock, lilies especially, but I am going to get my Packard's chauffeur and have a look at all the boys within ten miles and then I can dist:^bute authentic information. It is some years since we have had a more beautiful March and if the sun continues to beam on us as it has of late there will be lots of ingenuity needed to Ireep things back. As an evidence of progress we notice young men coming to town to take posi- tions in our leading stores. S. E. Holmes, for years with Robert Kift, of Philadelphia, is leading artist for Miss Bachel Rebstock, dear Rachel, whom everybody likes. Mr. H. is just the type of young man that our refined business demands, genteel in appearance, without being a fop and courteous and polite without being too obsequious and if he is minus the harsh western New York accent he is none the worse. If this is not a faithful pen picture of Mr. Holmes, it is about what a florists' clerk should be. A Mr, Johnson, of Rochester, has taken a position with S. A. Anderson. WUliam W. Wells, late with C. D. Zimmerman, has bought the business and stock of James Buxton, on Niagara street. Mr. Wells is a graduate of Mr. Carmody's of Posey county, Indiana. We had a call recently from Walter Muston, of Toronto, and Mr. Jennings, manager of the flower department of the continentally known department house of Timothy Eaton. The immense dimen- sions of the flower department would dwarf into Liliputian size, with few ex- ceptions, all or any of the flower stores of the continent. Just one item, it took twenty-five girls to wait on the flower counter last Saturday. Popular prices rule and ninety per cent of the buyers would not patronize a regular florists' store, but let us not sneer or get jealous of that. It spreads the desire and love and use of flowers and all connected with the business must be benefited by this wide distribution of our products. Flowers are a pure luxury at first, but they become a necessity and the masses of our people will have to travel up- ward a long way before the love of flowers and plants is as universal as it is in some countries of Europe. We do not expect to live to see showers of vio- lets drop from the ceiling on the ban- quet table as they did when Nero gave his voluptuous feasts, but we do observe a continuous increase in the use of flow- ers among a class of people who twenty years ago considered them beyond their reach. •who should walk in but James Harts- home, of Joliet, on his way back from Boston and Philadelphia. Never saw James look better. There is a healthy Cardinal color on his cheeks, a Fianceq glance from his eye and a Lady Boun- tiful smile diffusing his whole make-up. Can't see any Harlowarden about him, he is too "sawed off" to resemble that great crimson. On March 21 the B. F. C. held its annual meeting and election of ofScers. Louiai H. Neu^ck was. elected president, Charles Guenther vice-president, W. Peck secretary, Emile Brueker financial secretary and Charles H. Keitsch treas- urer. Messrs. George Urban, Jr., W. F. Kasting and W. Scott, executive com- mittee. After business about forty flo- rists climbed the stairs to one of the spacious halls of Mr. Kasting 's empo- rium. Roses decorated the tables and instrumental music stimulated the ap- petite. There were several happy and pleasant talks, all rather above the aver- age of other years. An amusing inci- dent was Mr. Slatteiy accusing W. A. Adams of having made a floral dog for his flrm's window and running short of flowers cut out one leg instead of dis- pensing with the tail. Mr. Adams de- fended himself in gallant style and said it was a bull dog and the loss of a leg in a fight was not an unusual inci- dent. Oth^ addresses were on more weighty subjects, but only of local in- terest. Never have we had a brighter, more energetic or business-like man to lead us to usefulness than Louis Neu- beck. W. S, Minneapolis, Minn. — Patthey & Thompson have opened a handsome re- tail store at 11 Seventh street S. There are two large show windows and a fine display is made. Richmond, Ind. — The E. G, Hill Co. is ready to plant, within the next few days, a house of Rudd's pink carnation. Lady Margaret. The stock is in fine shape and, with a big sale in prospect, very conservative growing will be done to keep it so that good cuttings will be produced rather than fancy blooms.

The »th annual conTonUon wiU be held at Weat Baden, Ind., June, 1906. We now have a parcels-post arrange- ment with Belgium. The season promises to be a short and desperately busy one for the nurserymen. Louis H. Fresse, Coatsburg, 111., will remove his nursery business to Quincy, The J. B. Hutchison nursery, at Litchfield, 111., has been established for- ty years. The increase in wealth in the middle west is bringing eastern landscape ar- chitects a great many orders from, that region. A GREAT many florists are beginning to find out how well a business in shrubs and small trees fits, in with other plant- ing work. The Clinton Palls Nursery Co., Owa- tonna, Minn., has secured a big plant- ing contract at Frankfort, South Dakota, for A. C. Johnson. At Minneapolis the park department .is doing considerable planting this spring, but much of the stock is coming from the department nursery. Several nurseries in the latitude of Long Island are low bidders for north- ern planting contracts, because they can be executed at the close of the local season. THROUCiH the middle west a great deal, of ornamental stock will be planted this spring, most of it on small orders, but calling for material of good quality and size. W. F. Heikes is developing a big business at Biloxi, Miss., the branch of the Huntsville WTiolesale Nursery, where conditions are peculiarly favorable for roses, pecans, etc. The extent of the business in straw- berry plants now done by some nurseries is something surprising. The Harrison & Sons nursery, at Berlin, Md., handles such sorts as Bubach, Gandy, Mitchell's Early and Parsons in half-million lots and more and has a list of some fifty . sorts. Congress has passed a law entitled "An act to prohibit importation or in- terstate transportation of insect pests, and the use of the United States mails for tliat purpose. ' ' Any one who shall knowingly cause to be so transported any insect harmful to plant life shall be fined not more than $5,000 or imprisoned not less than five years. Specimens for scientific purposes" are excepted under regulations yet to be announced. SHHUBS FROM JAPAN. [An extract from a paper by Joseph Meehan, read iiiidei. the general heading, "Our Ilortlcul tural Indebtedness to Japan," before the Uer- muntowu Horticultural Society, March 13, 1905.] The list of shrubs which Japan has dent us is a very large one, and, in fact, it is to their introduction that we are indebted for much of the praise travel- ers bestow on the appearance of our grounds in the spring of the year. The well-known Golden Bell forsythia; the Weigelia rosea, many of the spiralis, and the exochorda, are all near neighbors in that part of the world. Then think of the beauty and useful- ness of the Hydrangea paniculata grandiflora; the Japanese snowball, Vi- burnum plicatum ; the Berberis Thun- bergii, the Cercis Japonjca and the Les- pedeza Sieboldi, all now among our common shrubs. And there may be added the Kerria Japoniea, the Hama- mclis Japoniea, many hypericums, the Tamarix Japoniea and the Rhodotypos Kerrioides. The hardy orange, Citrus trifoliata, which is exciting so much attention as the probable forerunner of a race of hardy oranges, is from Japan. This is hardy as far north as New York. It fruits freely, but the oranges are too bitter to be eaten. Yo.u all know the value of the privet we now use so freely for hedging. It, too, is Japanese, the name C^ifornian being given it because it found its way east by way of California. There is another privet from Japan, called Ja- ponicum, a true evergreen, and hardy about Philadelphia. We must not forget the roses from Japan. The list is a long one, but standing out prominently are the Bosa rugosa and the Rosa multiflora, and the many valuable hybrids raised from them. Styrax Japoniea is a large shrub, al- most a small tree, which bears pretty clusters of white flowers in spring. There are many styraxes native here, buj; none of them is the equal of Ja- poniea. Xanthoceras sorbifolia is a Chinese shrub, but I am tempted to include it among the rest of the shrubs, it is such a lovely thing when in bloom. The flowers are white, with red streaks at the base, very large, and >aT«^roduced in early spring. It is n(5t yet as well known as it should be.

SEED PACKING. Eeferring to the note recently re- printed in the Review, wherein Wm. Watson, of Kew, said that: "For seeds generally I know of nothing better than paper packets or calico bags; and the more moisture there is in the seeds themselves when thus packed the better. Hermetically sealed tins or bottles should never be used," J. W. T. Duvel, of the U. S. Department of Agriculture writes : Carefully-conducted experiments have given results which are diametrical- ly opposed to those set forth by Mr. Watson. By far the vast majority of seeds retain their vitality the better the more thoroughly they are dried. Seeds put up in paper packets or cloth bags may remain germinable for a number of years if kept in a dry climate; on the other hand, seeds put up in the same manner, and sent to places having warm, moist climates, deteriorate very rapidly. B)it in all cases, excepting the special kinds of seeds which lose their vitality on becoming dry, the best results are ob- tained when seeds are carefully dried and packed in hermetically sealed con- tainers. When prepared in this manner the seeds must be dried at a temperature slightly higher than any degree of heat to which the sealed containers will be subjected. Seeds prepared in Hj^a way will remain viable in any climate, ^^his applies particularly to agricultural and garden seeds of the temperate regions. Many seedsmen now use the hermetically sealed containers for the transpprtatipu of seeds, especially those, which are sent to tropical and subtropical countries.

The onlv thing to do is to avoid planting in af- fected soil; that is, in soil where the germs of scab fungus are present, but instead grow some crop in this soil on which the fungus will have no effect. And in the course of a yeaCi or two the germs will die out on account of having noth- ing to work on. Also avoid leaving beet tops on the ground to rot or be turned under.

Various Notes. Blind Brothers have been particularly unfortunate in losing horses this •winter. They lost the third one Saturday, a fine young driving horse, valued at $400. Mrs. E. A. Williams was partially flooded out last week, which caused con- siderable inconvenience as she had quite a busy week, with & number of small so- cial affairs. Bemember the next meeting of the club, April 4. The subject for discus- sion will be Easter novelties. We ex- pect to see something in plants which will be interesting. The Pittsburg Eose & Carnation Co. has a 400-foot house of Kaiserins which look very promising. They are also cut- ting very fine Maids and Brides at pres- ent. The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. was among the flood victims, and the boys have been spending all their spare time working a new pump. They finished late Saturday. Thos. M.

Itong Dlatanca Telephon* 2018-1C> J090 The Weekly Florists^ Review* -W-^srCr^ March 30, 1005. ST. LOUIS. The Market. Despite numerous handicaps, trade the past week was reported as prospering a little in the cut flower line, but not as much as in the planting line. With this kind of work the greenhouse men have more than they can attend to at the pres- ent time. There is a good deal of speculation among the store men as to Easter supply in both cut and plant stock. The weather here is clear and warm and is forcing thp blooms along too rapidly to suit the growers. From the report of some who liave visited most of the large growers there will be plenty of Harrisii, callas, and other bulbous stock, but as Easter is very late this year it is hard to tell just how things will be three weeks from now. At the wholesale houses stock is de- cidedly more plentiful than the demand calls for. As a consequence the fakir and the down town stores that buy cheap in large lots are decidedly better off than the west end florists who have little transient trade and are, of course, not buying an oversupply. Prices are still very low and only the very choice stock is being disposed of, while common stock has to be dumped. Beauties have weakened. Extra select are down to $3 per dozen. Other roses are plentiful. White has the call. The supply of carnations is heavy. Light colors sell better than the dark. Fancies are down to $2.oO per hundred. After the morning sales there is a great accumulation of surplus stock to pack away. All bulbous stock is in heavy supply, especially Harrisii and callas. also tulips, Dutch hyacinths and Von Sions. Valley is fine, but too much of it is in the market. Violets are becom- •ing small and off color. The wholesal- ers are cleaning them out every morn- ing at the rate of 15 and 20 cents per • hundred in 5,000 lots. Light colored sweet peas are selling fairly well. Good smilax is down to 12J/> cents per string. All other greens remain the same as last quoted. I hope for a more encouraging market report in the next issue. Various Notes. F. F. Benthey, senior member of the Benthey-Coatsworth Co., Chicago, was a visitor the past week and made the rounds of the trade in companv with Frank M. Ellis. John J. Burke, at Gould and Finney avenues, has sold out to W. H. Miller, who will continue the business. Mr. Miller has had no experience in the cut flower trade. Geo. Augermuller, for many years bookkeeper for C. A. Kuehn, will open a wholesale commission house at 1324 Pine street. The place will open for business April 1. The location is half way between Ellis and Berning, in the wholesale district. The Simmons Hardware Co. has oj>ened its retail seed department for the sale of all kinds of garden seeds. J. H. Billington, nt 5413 Easton ave- nue, has advertised his place for sale. Domestic troubles have caused Air. Bil- lington to take this step. He has been offered a good government position at Washington, D. C. Green & Gorley, on Cass avenue, re- port a big trade in funeral work the past week. Charles Juengel says cut flower trade EASTER THE PINE TREE BRAND NEVER DISAPPOINTS. Your trade will appreciate them and you will like the results.

Mffntlon Tbe Review when yon write. DETROIT. Brdtmeyer's Btiilding. Shortly after Easter John Breitmeyer 'a Sons will remove their retail store from the well-known stand at Gratiot and Miami avenues. They will go a few doora down the street for the summer, and the old building will be torn down and replaced by an eight-story steel structure in which the Breitmeyers will occupy the corner store and have the most up-to-date establishment of its kind in the country. The old store has a history. It is a frame structure and was on the out- skirts of town when erected. The lot, 50x100, cost the man who built the house the sum of $400. This was in 1844. The frame of the house is oak, and it has stood for several remodel- ings." John Breitmeyer bought the prop- erty in 1887 for $30,000. Frank Beard. Frank Beard, of the firm of Beard Bros., who died March 20, following an operation for appendicitis, was one of the most popular members of the De- troit Florists' Club, which was largely represented at his funeral. Mr. Beard was a resident of Woodmere since child- hood and always took an active interest in the affairs of the village, having been a member of the first council. He served on the school board for seventeen years and enjoyed a large circle of friends. He was forty-three years of age and leaves a widow and three chil- dren, besides several brothers and sis- ters. Frank H. Beard, to whom death came in his forty-third year of life, was be- loved by all who knew him, for his na- ture was a genial, loving and truthful one. He was always a willing worker in any work connected with the enter- tainment of visiting florists to our city. A wise counselor in any business in which he was interested. Mr. Beard •was elected director of the school dis- trict in which he was educated for the fourth term last fall. He will be great- ly missed in the meetings of the De- troit Florists' Club, who attended the funeral in a body and acted as escort. He leaves a widow, two boys and one girl. Kag. PACIFIC COAST. TRANSPLANTING HARDY PALMS. The transplanting of hardy palms from the open ground into tubs or for replanting in the soil in some other lo- cality, is a proposition that appears to be not well understood by many of our growers and not at all by the "public. One of our most valuable and beautiful trees, the California fan palm, which we are accustomed to transplant even when from ten to fifteen feet high, is, unless conditions are favorable, not an easy subject to handle. This is the best season of the entire year to transplant anything in the palm line. I have found November, December and January to be the most difficult months to make a success in lifting palms. To beein with, in the central and northern ^rtions of this coast the palm has a distinct resting season, which is during the months I have named, and they do not make any growth, practi- cally, during those months. Consequent- ly if they are taken from the ground and "balled" and replanted they will not make any effort to send out new roots until the early spring. In the meanwhile the foliage generally begins to wither and, although the plant prob- ably will not die, it always takes sev- eral years before it again becomes sal- able. There is very little trouble in trans- planting in March or April, as the plants are then engaged in making new roots and it is surprising how quickly they take hold after they have been shifted, i It makes little difference whether a plant is only three feet high or whether it is ten feet; the same rule applies. Of course I do not refer to plants that are grown in pots or boxes, as they can be handled safely at any time, but in our larger nurseries the majority of hardy palms are field-grown and I have seen many noble specimens destroyed because they were dug up at the wrong time. Frosty weather to a considerable extent also retards their recovery and too much moisture will act the same way. I have referred principally to the vari- ous kinds of braheas, phoenix and ery- theas, as they are the most beautiful of our hardy palms. All the varieties of chamaerops are extremely easy to trans- plant and it can be done with perfect safety at any time; in fact, I consider them the only palms whose growth after transplanting can be guaranteed. With the other kinds . I have mentioned it is well to tie up the leaves completely for a period of a month if there is any dan- ger of their not taking hold immediately after planting, and if the leaves persist in drying up it is well to cut them off back to the stump, which will probably make a new set of leaves in a few months. There should, however, be no danger in handling palm^ of any size from the open ground during this montu, as the time of year I have found to be more important than any other item in digging them. The whole proposition is to transplant them just when they are commencing to make their new growth and roots in the early spring and before the weather becomes too warm. G. PORTLAND, ORE. Business Good. We are passing through a most pros- perous season. For two months busi- ness has kept up at a steady gait and all signs indicate that it will continue so. February was an exceptionally good month and showed a substantial in- crease over the same month a year ago. First of all we have been blessed with perfect weather, plenty of sunshine, and gentle spring emerged from its winter quarters six weeks ahead of scheduled time. The cut flower market is well supplied with the best and it is only the most inferior stock which falls by the w.iyside. The fine, long-stemmed roses now being offered by the local growers, we venture to say, cannot be beaten anywhere. Carnations are im- proving in quality and there are none too many of them.

The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 1093 proved too much for violets and they are suffering from quick consumption. Outdoor-grovirn bulbous stock has been in oversupply and another week will see its finish. Various Notes. At this writing gardening and spring planting is in full operation. The lawn mower is much in evidence and early shrubbery is in full bloom. A civic im- provement league formed here three months ago is doing good work. Every inducement is offered all classes to help make Portland worthy of its name, "the rose city." The florists and seedsmen gave liberally toward this enterprise, their donations of plants and seeds be- ing distributed among the school chil- dren. Premiums of a general character are offered as an incentive for excellence in this cause. It is always refreshing to meet our eastern friends. Mr. Fotheringham was here two weeks ago, introducing all the latest varieties of carnations. And then came the portly Artiold Eingier, who arrived in time to help us celebrate St. Patrick's day. Both gentlemen report business good. "While here Mr. Eingier was taken for a Eussian naval officer by the lady guests at the Portland Hotel, and one of the numerous courtesies ex- tended him was an automobile ride out to the Lewis and Clark fair grounds. H. J. M. SEATTLE, WASH. After being five years out of the busi- ness H. B. Buddenborg has arranged to enter it again. He has just organized and incorporated the Seattle Green- house Co., the stock of which is held by George H. Eandall and himself. The company now has under construction two houses each 20x100 and expects to build six more. Carnations, roses and chrys- anthemums will be grown for whole- saling. SAN FRANCISCO. The Market We are in the midst of Lent and busi- ness is only fair. I have made an ef- fort to find out from several of our lead- ing retailers, whether trade is as good with them now as it was a year ago and am able to report that the balance has been in favor of this year thus far; we have had better weather and flowers have been more plentiful and this, coupled with the fact that there is now a good steady demand for all classes of good stock, shows that everything is in a healthy condition. Eoses are not very plentiful and fancy stock is in good demand. Carnations have lowered a lit- tle in price but they are selling well. Lilac, although not as abundant as in former years, sells well and at good fig- ures, Violets are practically over, as well as narcissi and daffodils. Fruit blossoms are being brought into town in large quantities and the florists are sell- ing more of them than they usually do. Wild flowers of some sorts are much in evidence, but they are hardly at their best. Greens and grasses of all kinds are moving well and make up the bulk of the goods handled by many of the smaller dealers. Varioos Notes. Mrs. W. J. Schroth, daughter of J. C.

The usual Lenten season begins to have effect among the growers as well as deal- ers. With weather like June, all kinds of blooming plants are coming iu at once, thus causing a glut in the market. Large quantities find their way to the dump. People are making preparations for plant- ing out bedding stock. Eoses are get- ting smaller and prices are dropping. Extra fine teas are bringing from 8 to 10 cents, ordinary stock from 2 to 6 cents. Carnations are bringing from $1 to $2 per hundred, violets from $1 to $1.50 per thousand, lilies 8 to 10 cents, peas 25 cents per bunch, mignonette $1 per hun- dred, tulips and jonquils 75 cents to $1.50 per hundred. Southern daf- fodils are now coming in large quantities and sell at from 25 to 75 cents per hun- dred. Various Notes. Among the retailers up town George Cook says dinner work dropped a little, but he has considerable funeral work to keep Jiim busy. Mr, Kimmell, who for a long time was with Mr. Cook and very popular among the craft, is about to open a store on the corner of Fourteenth and Massachu- setts avenue, a fine location and a hand- some store, and no doubt after a life ex- perience in the business he will make a success. Geo. Shaffer seems to be always busy. His store is always packed with stock and he keeps his force hustling. Mayberry & Hoover, at the popular Fourteenth street store, claim Lent ' ' cuts no ice" with them. They did two large store decorations last week. One store alone used fifty dozen palms, besides many blooming plants. Chauncey Brooks makes funeral work his specialty and his force is always kept busy. Z. D; Blackistone reports plenty of weddings and dinners for the last two weeks. He says Lent does not make much difference. The bowling team is beginning to practice for the coming convention. There will be something doing, so says Capt. Ernest, if he can only keep his men in line.

ADVERTISERS AND ADVERTISING. Why in Sam Hill don't your adver- tisers keep their advertising up to date, or, in other words, if they are sold out of stock, why don't they cut out their advertising until they are again in a position to supply goods? During the past week I sent away orders, in every case accompanied by cash in payment for different articles advertised in your columns and out of six orders in no less than four cases the money was returned with regrets that stock was sold out. Now, Mr. Editor, you perhaps can be congratulated, since it shows that the Bevievst certainly sells the plants but how about the man who wants to buy and the man who has to return the money because he cannot supply them? A man who sends an advertisement to run for a certain length of time and finds himself sold out after one or two insertions should certainly spend 2 cents in notify- ing you to hold out his advertisement until he was again in a condition to fill orders. He would save money on the^ deal and his prospective customers woma save the annoyance of having to hunt elsewhere. The florist has the reputation of be- ing the poorest business man going, and cases like this seem to prove it. When the hardware man is sold out on stoves he will advertise a cut in wire nails. When the dry goods merchant finds his stocks running low in shirt waists, he calls special attention to his latest thing in petticoats, but the florist drifts along in the same old way whether he is sold out on Enchantress cuttings or no. When I have anything to sell commend me to the Review but in the meantime I hope my brother florists will take these remarks to heart. Citizen Fixit. [The publisher agrees most heartily with the above. When you are sold out, by all means stop the advertisement promptly. Don't neglect it. It impairs the value of your own next advertise- ment and of all ot^er advertising to let the dead offer stand. And just a word on anpther point. If you cannot ship the goods the day the order is received, by all means send a postal card stating when you will ship. You will find that buyers will appreciate it.] DENVER.

He reports the call for geranium cuttings ahead of supply and IS compelled to increase his capacity to accommodate his fast growing trade in this line. Harrisii lilies here are almost a total failure, but a nice batch of longi- florums are just right for Easter. Byrne Bros.' new place looks well considering the late date at which their houses were completed. Carnations here are a feature as well as a general line of Easter stock, etc., for their Buffalo store. TORONTO. The weather during the past week has been ideal and spring stock is rush- ing ahead. Many of the growers are wondering whether they are going to have any bulbous stock left by Easter. Easter lilies are coming in very plenti- fully at present but we anticipate no shortage in them for Easter. Roses and carnations are abundant and the prices quoted in quantities certainly bear this statement out. Grobba & Wandrey are sending in some very fine double tulips. Their Mur- illo are at present the finest seen this season. John Cotterill lias some very fine La Reine, stems and blooms are all that could be desired. D. J. LOCKPORT, N. Y. F. G. Lewis' place looks very good. He reports Lawson not quite equal to last year, but his stock would be a credit to any place. Enchantress is quite extensively grown and is satis- factory. Mr. Lewis seems to be well blessed with sports. Enchantress has sported in three colors. He is sending out a red sport from Lawson, which is fine, but the wonder of the place is an- other red sport from Lawson, which in color promises to be far ahead of any- thing in red. He intends giving up his decorative trade and will devote all his space to carnations. Trade here has been very good all winter, but since Lent Ijegan lias quieted a bit.

A couple of weeks ago the Review published a note on a pocket measure for carnation blooms got out by the Kroe- Bchell Bros. Co., 51 Erie street, Chicago, stating that the Kroeschell Co. would send one to anyone who sent a 2-cent (rtamp to pay the postage. Immediately requests from Eeview readers began to come in on every mail, requests from New England, from Long Island, from Texas and from Denver. And what sur- prised Mr. Kroeschell was that by far the greater number of requests came from the extreme east. Mr. Kroeschell had fallen into the error, not uncommon, perhaps, of considering the Review as a Chicago paper; it is National in all its features. SCALE ON PALM. I enclose a palm leaf and would like to know the name of and remedy for the scale with which it is infested. S. J. P. The scale insect on the palm leaflet forwarded by S. J. P. appears to be a lecanium, though I do not know what particular species it is. It is probable that the question of identity could be Bettled by the entomologist at your state agricultural college. A careful sponging with solution of tobacco soap, whale oil soap or fir-tree oil would be the safest method of treat- ment, though it is quite probable that one application would not kill all the insects, there being a great number of minute young insects that are only visi- ble with the aid of a microscope of moderate power, in addition to those of full growth that are readily seen with the naked eye. W. H. Taplin. DEUTZIA AND SPIRAEA. When may Deutzia gracilis and Spira;a Van Houttei be brought into Woom if we bring them in now from open ground in central Illinois and kfeep in a night temperature of 50 to 55 degrees? C. M. B. Before these lines can be read by the inquirer it will be too late to give ad- vice about Easter, because they should have at least four weeks in the tem- perature quoted, from a dormant state, and the spiraea will be better with five weeks. We infer that C. M. B. intends digging these shrubs from the open ground. They will doubtless flower, but not as satisfactorily as would plants prepared for forcing. Lilac, spiraea, viburnum, pyrus, deutzia and other hardy shrubs should be grown in pots the previous summer. W. S. Denver, Colo. — C. F. Maler has de- cided to erect four greenhouses 14x100, using the style of connected houses put up by the King Construction Co., North Tonawanda, N. Y., where he obtained hia material.

There are quantities of all kinds of stock coming in and all orders can be well filled. Eoses are most plentiful, especially Maids. Other varieties are also somewhat in ex- cess of the demand. American Beauties arc more in evidence than they have been for a long time. Some of the blooms show the effects of the bright sunshine. Carnations are not quite 80 plentiful but the supply is sufficiently large to keep the price down. The qual- ity of the stock is very good. Bulbous stock is also in abundance and sells fairly well but at low figures. Lilies of all kinds are especially hard to move. Good tulips go best. The sup- ])ly of violets is fast ebbing; single ones are about out of the market but some good doubles are still to be had. Various Notes. Easter is fast approaching and will be upon us before we know it if we don't look out. Prospects are unusu- ally bright for a good lot of flowers. From present indications outdoor flow- ers will be over, especially if the present weather holds Out. Some of our glowers will have to look sharp or their lilies and bulbous stock will ar- rive too soon. The only possible short- age may be carnations. Boses will be first-class. Beauties especially ought to make a fine crop by then. A party of from ten to fifteen florists of this city intend to leave Wednesday for a trip to New Castle, Ind., to view the many large establishments there. Some of them intend to make side trips to other Indiana cities, but the ma- jority will return home the same day. Visitors: Mr. MlcGregor, of Spring- field and Mr. Fahncourt, of Philadelphia. C. J.

Tbe^Market The past week has been one of qiiiet business among the shops here, there being few functions of large enough pro- portions to clean up stock. The market has become glutted with bulbous stock, with no demand. Boses are resuming their usual good form and are bringing fair prices. Carnations are looking well and the supply is in excess of the de- mand. Violets are getting scarcer and the price higher. Large quantities of Harrisii are coming in and the outlook for enough potted stuff for Easter looks slim. Quite a number of advance orders are coming in for the Thursday before Eas- ter, but the shops cannot get definite promises from the growers to furnish stock to fill them. It looks now as though good stock will be very scarce. Varioua Notes. Wm. Sharp, of Murray's, has some of the finest specimen lilies to be seen here. In fact, all of his stock looks unu- sually fine. Mr. Sharp reports business as very satisfactory. The executive committee of Conven- tion Hall met with some of the trade here last week to discuss the prospects for a flower show next fall. Everything was satisfactorily handled and the pros- pects ior a show this fall are very flat- tering. Miss Dalley has a fine display of hya- cinths and specimen plants at her shop and reports business as good. Miss J. E. Murray has her shop win- dow very tastefully decorated and re- ports business as first-class. Miss Mur- ray is putting in some very fine stock. The Kansas City Floral Co. has fixed its shop in fine shape and is putting in a large stock of ribbons and other supplies. Mr. Shaeffer, the president of the company, has spared no expense in making the store one of the finest in the city. E. A. Humfeld has some fine stock at his place and reports business as very good. The Alpha Floral Co. has installed a new register and it is a thing of beauty. They are doing a fine trade and Mrs. Harvey, the manager, reports business as increasing. Geo. M. Xellogg, of Pleasant Hill, is putting in an immense stock at his house here in anticipation of a large Easter business. Mr. Kellogg is a hustler and sends flattering reports as to business in his line. H. Lambach, Chicago, and C. S. Ford, of New York, representing florists' sup- ply houses were among the trade the past week. Narcissus. CEMENT BENCHES NIAGARA CEMENT & CONCRETE CO. North Tonawanda, N. Y. Albion, Mich. — A. H. Dew reports a fine winter's business, the best he has ever had. He has just completed a new house, which he is now filling with Easter stock and bedding plants. Uentkui Hie Rerlew when jon write.

The Weekly Florists'' Review* U27 MISCELUNEOUS SEASONABLE HINTS. Vj.'-Ji'-K •"■;?J. 1:" -C^ Rambler Roses for Forcing:. riorists have to think a great ways ahead and he who does this is usually best off when the market is at hand. We have seen some beautiful specimens of Bambler roses of late, which were ex- hibited at the Boston rose show. For those who can and do lift these Bam- blers from, the ground in November and force for the following Easter, we have nothing to say, but the average florist is not successful with that method and there is a surer way of getting a well-flowered plant, even if it does entail a little more labor. And now is the time to prepare for the plant that you want to sell a year hence. If you have stock on your own grounds that you planted out last spring, they hav- ing made a few strong canes during summer, you have the finest material to begin with. If you do not have such plants, then buy of one of our good nursery firms some strong plants that were grown in the field last summer. Prune last summer's growth back to within five or six inches. Pot them in 6, 7 or 8-inch pots, according to strength of plant. Use a heavy loam with a fourth of cow manure, not too old, and pot firmly. Start them in a cold frame that you can keep close until root action be- gins. A daily spraying is always bene- ficial. You will be sure to get a num- ber of breaks from these plants and when the young growths are three or four inches long select four or five of the strongest and rub ofif the others. When once the young growths start you are sure the roots are also at work and then remove them to a good, light bench. In fact, a rose house would be the place, although by no means a necessity. Free growing as these Ramblers are, they easily succumb to mildew, so while making their growth under glass, up to the end of July, they should not be sub- jected to extremes of heat or cold or be allowed to get too dry at the roots. With a daily syringing during their grow- ing time they will make fine, long canes and if ripened oif outdoors in the fall you cannot fail to have plants that will break and flower from the pot to the tip of the canes. But more of that here- after. It is now you want to start. Do not think there is much labor or expense over all this. A hundred Ramblers will take up little room before the first of June, when you have plenty of room, and they are outside or in a cold frame the rest of the time until you start them growing in January. A Famous Bed of Ramblers. The popular Crimson Rambler will, per- haps, be always chief favorite on ac- count of its brilliant color, contrasting with its green foliage, yet there are others well worth growing, so buy some of the other desirable varieties. Their treatment is the same. Dorothy Perkins is a beautiful pink, with distinct foliage. The Farquhar is a fine rose pink, with deep green foliage. Try some of both of them. Someone at Boston made men- tion of the fact that these climbers, par- ticularly Crimson Rambler, are grand in a bed or mass. This is well known to many and recalls to the writer the bed of Crimson Ramblers at the Pan American in 1901. If you wanted to duplicate such a bed, you should plant now, or within the next few weeks, or, in better words, while the plants are dormant. That famous bed had one great ad- vantage, viz., the soil, a foot of heavy, yellow clay loam, which had been piled up as sod for a year, with at least a fourth its weight of cow manure. The plants arrived about the second week in June. Think of the date. They were growths were tied up to a stake her* and there and some strong canes were tied together to form an arch, but the general surface of the bed was as in- formal as possible. About the following July never was there a more brilliant sight. The bed was of irregular form, about a thousand square feet and there must have been 50,000 trusses of bloom. A picture of this bed was published in the Review, with F. R. Pierson standing in the background, admiring his exhibit. Planting Hardy Roses. Some say plant hardy roses, particu- larly hybrid perpetuals, in the fall. This is not good advice for our latitude. Spring is the time for us, and as early as you can, as you would any hardy de- ciduous shrub, and tell your customers not to expect too much the first year. The difiiculty is, our customers want a fine show the first year. It can 't be (lone. Supposing you plant this month! If you cut each dormant cane down to three or four eyes you should not lose one plant in a thousand.

Walsh's Seedling Rambler Rose, Lady Gay. dry little sticks £hat were either imported or had been in a root house all winter and spring. When the bed was planted you had to look closely to discover that there was anything there, for the dry little stems were cut within an inch of the ground. With water and mulching and water ad libitum throughout the summer the ground was covered with growth by October. With a covering of pine boughs, they came through the winter with scarcely a shoot killed. Strong the most important for the garden, must be cut down. You will the following June and July get a few flowers, on va- rieties like Magna Charta perhaps a good many, but they should be pinched oflf quite short. It is the wood for next year that you want to encourage and if you do not get good, strong growths this year you cannot expect fine blooms next year, or succeeding years. How simple it is to have fine beds of Paul Neyron, Mar- garet Dickson or Ulrich Brunner if you U28 The Weekly Florists^ Review. Apbil 6, 1905. use patience and a little good garden- ing. Some Good Tender Roses. Some tea and hybrid tea roses make our best summer bedding roses and flower throughout the summer until late in the fall. These will not endure our winters and if they were lifted and wintered in a cold frame or, perhaps, in a cool house, they will be slightly started and a sharp frost would set them back. De- fer planting these until early May. Old Bon SiJene, Safrano and Isabella Sprunt flower with us outdoors from August to hard frost. Maman Cochet is, of course, hardly without an equal as a summer tea rose and every commercial florist should have a bed of a thousand plants of both the pink and the white, and within reach of the hose. The hybrid teas are fine for this purpose. Kaiserin, Carnot and La Prance especially, and several later intro- ductions, if dormant, plant at once but if started to grow wait until May. Pot Roses for Easter. With all our showy Easter plants there is nothing that would sell quicker than a well-grown and flowered hybrid perpetual rose, yet how seldom are they seen. Any novice can force into bloom an azalea that the thrifty Belgian, with high culture, has prepared for us, but it takes some gardening to start with the dormant rose and finish with a well-flowered plant. Those fine plants three or four feet across that we read of at the European exhi- had been lifted in November, potted, then laid down and covered with a few inches of soil and some straw and brought in and pruned about February 1. They were in glorious contrast to some that had been lifted in November, heeled in a cold frame until the middle of January and then potted. The former is the way ; but this is a hint a little out of season. If you buy now for future forcing: It is not the finest H. P. roses that are always the best to force. Here is a list of a few (and you don't want a great variety), that force well: Ulrich Brun- ner, Mme. Gabriel Luizet, Magna Charta, Baroness Eothschild, Anne de Diesbach, Clio, Mrs. John Laing, La Heine, Capt. Hayward and old Jacqueminot. La Eeine is a very old pink rose, little grown in the garden but a grand pot variety. Amaryllises. The fine varieties of Amaryllis vittata that have been so gay with their showy flowers for the past two months are not so generally grown by the commercial florist as they should be. Now is the time to increase your stock. The off- shoots can be taken off and either potted singly or grown a year in flats. When the large bulbs have done flowering they should not be at once carelessly put to rest. Even some liquid manure can be given them now, or for a month or two after the flower spike is cut. It is now they are storing up material to produce the gorgeous flower for next spring. After June they can rest, with litiie A Section of Carnation Exhibits at the Boston Spring Show. water, until you want to start them grow- ing again next winter. They may never be wanted as a cut flower, but as a win- dow plant they are most showy. Seed is easily saved and from the seed in three years you can have a fine, strong flowering bulb. Tritomas. If you have room to grow any her- baceous plants, do not forget to have a good stock of Tritoma Pfitzerii. We have had a bed of it and realize what a great improvement it is over T. uvaria, the red hot poker plant. You can cut its handsome spikes throughout the sum- mer and late into fall and a vase of them is a fine thing for your store window. Geraniums. All your zonal geraniums should now be in their last shift, with us a 3% or 4-inch pot. You cannot wait until after Easter this year. It is too late. We fre- quently get complaints that zonals do not bloom. It is principally because they are kept close and the soil is light and too often a third of some rotted manure. They then grow to leaf. Use a rather heavy loam, pot firmly and put a 4-inch pot of bone flour with every bushel of soil; a little more won't hurt. No shade should ever be over these geraniums. You want them tough, hardy and stout for planting out. William Scott. MAY JOIN HANDS. At the Detroit convention of the American Carnation Society a movement was set on foot to secure the cooperation of the American Eose Society in a joint exhibition at Cuicago, but the plan failed. Since both these societies have voted to meet in Boston in 1906 the idea has been revived and has some earnest and influential advocates. It seems that the executives of the two organizations should have little difliculty in agreeing on a date and certainly neither society will sufi'er by the joint meeting while in all likelihood both will gain. ILLINOIS FLORISTS. The Illinois State Florists' Asfloda- tion is a new organization, formed a few weeks ago, and one that is full of business. It already has a bill for an appropriation before the legislature which bids fair to pass. Much credit will be due to the lobbying skill of the association 's committee should the bill pass; they went at it like veteran poli- ticians. bitions are not produced from plants lifted the previous fall. They are grown at least two years in pots, with the high- est feeding and care. That may not pay here, but very good, attractive plants can be grown from good American-grown nursery stock, purchased in the fall and forced the following winter or spring. If tried, there is no hurry about them now, only order from your nurseryman early enough during the summer so that you will not get the scrubs. Another plan is to purchase now one-year-old plants and plant out on your own grounds, treating them as described when planting for a bed, cutting each dormant shoot near the ground. All you want is five or six strong breaks, these to form strong growths during summer. There is surely an advantage in having these plants on your own place. The writer was quue pleased to notice within a few days some roses about right for Easter that Exhibits of American Beauties at the Boston Rose Show.

As the result of an inquiry ordered by the Mayor of Nice into the losses caused by the severe frosts at the be- ginning of January to flower growers in the south of France, a report has been issued. It shows the total loss at over 2,000,000 francs, made up by losses on flowers 1,054,590 francs, on fruit, vegetables and plants 1,029,066 francs. The authorities are taking steps to recompense the growers as many of them have practically lost everything and among the small growers there is great distress. MAGNOLIAS. Under separate cover I enclose blos- soms and leaves of a variety of magnolia which we in Alabama call French mag- nolia. At the present writing the tree is indeed "a thing of beauty" stand- ing, as it does, with its twenty feet of height and thirty feet or more circum- ference covered with its snowy blos- soms and scarcely a leaf visible, but later it is covered with a profusion of light green leaves. Please give the bo- tanical name for it and how to propa- gate it. M. T. G. The bud arrived in fair order. We think it is Magnolia Soulangeana from the purple color of the outer petals. Magnolias can be readily raised from seed, but layering would be the best method for you to pursue. Select some growths of last year. Cut lengthwise half the thickness and bend it into the ground three or four inches. Be care- ful .when bending the shoot not to break it where you have made the cut. Of course, you will prepare the soil where the layer goes into the ground. Jufit make it fine and friable. Let a foot or so of the end of the shoot be out of the ground beyond where you made the cut. Do it at once and if all goes well roots will have formed at the cut and a year from now you can sever it from the parent plant. Magnolias are difficult trees to transplant at any stage, so be very attentive to the young plant when first separated from the olu tree. W. S. VIOLETS IN FRAMES. Friend Scott's reply to a query about growing violets in a frame on the south side of a rose house in last week's Review, and his remarks regarding the success of novices and failure of vet- erans, tempts me to add a little to his answer. Years ago I grew some violets in a somewhat similar situation and also gave them somewhat different care than what we have of late years, and yet I do not remember ever, having much more satis- factory flowers than I dirt from those frames. Perhaps a little detail regard- ing those frames will be of assistance to J. P. K. and anyone else who may have a like situation, where they would like to try violets but have always con- sidered the situation unsuitable. With this experience in memory, if such a sit- uation were the only convenient one at hand, I should certainly try it. This frame was on the south side of a three-quarter span rose house, with the sash coming up close under the gut- ter of the rose house. This gutter was about two feet above the level of the ground, and consequently the front of frames were only about one foot above ground. We only had 1-inch steam pipes in the frame but I cannot now say cer- tainly just how many, but, if memory serves me rightly, there were four runs. They were about evenly spaced against the sash and close to them, being hung on the bars on which the sash rested. This might not have been heat enough at all times if there had been no con- nection to the rose house, but we had it so we could care for the violets without going outside. The south path in the rose house was dug out of the ground, so that we could walk under the glass, so we put doorways into the violet frame every six feet, from this path, and ex- tended the path into the frame far enough so that we could reach to the front side for picking the violets, work- ing, watering, etc. We removed the sash entirely during the summer. The soil was very sandy and not at all rich, as is now considered the best and yet the violets were all right rn quantity and quality, all going to prove that you can grow this particular and fickle flower at times under almost any conditions and any old way. These plants in the frame not only had plenty of water but they were treat- ed to lots of steam by turning the stream from the hose on the steam pipes at the same time. Probably our very ■■• .-^rl'' ^•■■•■ : ^Ty^-^^.-r-7f-*f-^^'' . vtv^^^ff'^ 'Vt y ■ 1130 The Weekly Florists' Reviewi' Afbil 6, 1905. light soil helped them out as regards this kind of treatment, as I surely would not now advise one to give them such damp treatment, under any and all cir- cumstances, as thdse received. However, as I said in the beginning, if I had such a place that I wished to put violets, I should not hesitate to try them. We then grew Marie Louise, as it was before the day of the Imperial. We also grew some fine pansies under these same conditions, also mignonette, only the latter did not have suflSeient head room to grow it perfectly, although it liked the situation all right. I should say there were no openings between the rose house and the violet frame except the doorways, but there were no doors, so that they were always open. But being so low down, there was not muck heat from the rose house, and the sash were not lifted for ventilation until late in the season, as the steam was all shut off during the day and the door open- ings gave sufficient air for ventilation. B. E. Shuphelt. A SIMPLE BASKET CENTER-PIECE. The Color Scheme. The basket selected for this piece was low and round, without a base, to be used on a round table. It was of braid in natural straw color and green. The view is taken looking down upon the basket and the result was to partially shorten the handle, which is circular in form, to harmonize with the shape of the basket itself. The material chosen for filling is Bridesmaid roses, with a touch in white and yellow in the Chinese lilies and Paper White narcissi. The proportion of color- ing is therefore pink largely in excess of the yellow. Green comes in second in quantity. Some such proportioning of color is far the most attractive in any floral design, because it is decided and strong with the addition of a delicate suggestion. The coloring can also be termed correct according to the princi- ples laid down more than once in these pages; namely, that two colors to be har- monious must have some one color or element of coloring in common. In these three flowers there is to be found a strain of yellow not difficult to trace through the yellow streaks in the petals of the rose, "through the yellow cup of the Chinese lily and in the stamens of the Paper White narcissi. FiUing the Basket. This is a good style for beginners, hav- ing the design perfectly simple in the body of the basket and the easy garland over the handle. The first step in prepa- ration is to line the empty basket with one layer of tin foil or oil tissue paper up to within an inch of the top edge of the basket inside. Soak sphagnum for half an hour or so. Wring out in hand- fuls so dry that no water can drip from it. Lighten and separate the moss par- tially and make a firm, but not hard bed in the body of the basket. Hollow out a space in the center of the moss filling the shape of a shallow basin two or three inches deep. Slope gradually up to the edge of the basket. Thread a coarse needle with strong green^ thread and se- cure the moss in place ^ith a few long stitches from opposite sides of the basket. Lay damp wood ferns flat on top of the moss until the same is covered with a green mat. Sheet moss, if ob- tainable, serves the same purpose of a soft neat background. Cut the stems of as many roses as is judged will fill the basket after this style, into lengths of from six to eight inches. Cut between joints, and leave all the foliage on above the cut. Place a stemmed pick against the lower end of the stem, so that the middle of the pick is alongside of the end. The wire at- tached to the upper end of the pick is wrapped tightly around the stem down- ward until the wire has wrapped the lower extremity of the stem smoothly to the pick. Another method of stemming much in favor is to use 12-inch lengths of No. 24 wire only. If a rose stem is at all weak, insert one end of a wire up- wards from the stem into the base of the calyx far enough to secure it well. Then holding the stem firmly with the left hand over the rose, let the wire fol- low the stem of the rose downward. When about half-way down begin to coil the wire closely around the rose stem. Continue this until the lower end of the stem is reached with an inch of the wire to spare to insert the rose by, into the sphagnum. Wire for this purpose should be painted green to be more nearly invis- ible. It is not necessary to attempt to straighten a curved stem thus wired. Leave the bends and twists in the stem. Do not destroy these graceful lines, but strengthen them by the use of wire. Oe•** v-.^ ;*)--' Apbil 6, 1»05. t TheWeefcly Florists* Review.

The method of lapping glass, either on the roof, -the sides or in the gables of greenhouses is antiquated. The mod- ern method is to butt the glass wherever it is used in the construction of green- houses. In order to secure a tight roof and to keep it so for a period of ten or twelve years in the lapped method, there are too many "ifs" to eliminate; "If" good putty is used; "if" it is done in warm, dry weather; "if" the sash bars are constantly kept painted inside and out; "if" experienced and trustworthy men are ' employed on the job, etc. I'or every good point that can be ad- vanced for lapped glazing, at least two good points can be established for butted glazing of greenhouses. By following eith- er method a comparatively tight Aouse can be constructed; by neither an absolutely tight one. Many florists of long experi- ence are agreed that it is not necessary, in fact, that it is not desirable, to have an air-tight house for the ordinary cut flower and plant establishment. It must, however, be admitted that a roof of butted glass requires more pitch than one where the glass is lapped. In my first houses all the glass was lapped and puttied. In those days our houses were constructed of sash 3x6 feet and these were glazed and puttied before they were secured to the roof. Later, when wider houses were built, sash bars came into vogue and these, of course, required fastening to the roof before the glazing could be done. Here the patent glazing points and the putty bulb first came into requisition. After this the modem and much supe- rior system of butting the glass came into use. In this system the tongue of the rafter or sash bar is not quite so high as where the glass is lapped and in place of glazing' points and putty a half ronnd cap with a groove that just nicely, fits over the tongue is used and firmly securefl to the rafter by No. 9 1^-inch round headed screws. Double diamond glass 16x16 or 16x24 is now most largely used in the construction of commercial greenhouses. In the former size you have four, while in the latter you have only two sides for matching joints. But, on the other hand, with the larger glass there are only two-thirds the num- ber of joints that there will be with the smaller panes. In laying the glass, begin at the gut- ter line and finish the row at the ridge. Where the rafters or sash bars have been set well and true, and if the spac- ing has been properly attended to, it is really a pleasure to lay the glass. If, however, the joint is not tight where the two panes come together, turn the pane over. If the joint is still unsatis- factory, turn the pane end for end. By pursuing tbis plan the joints will be suffi- ciently tight for all practical purposes. After laying two rows of glass, put on a cap and put in a screw four to six inches from the gutter and one an equal distance from the ridge. After these the distance between the screws should be about fifteen inches. For hot-houses where it may be desirable to secure an absolutaly tight roof, thin strips of lead or rubber <'an be used to butt the panes against, thus securing an air tight as well as a rain tight joint. The idvantages of butted over laj)ped glass, to my mind, are: First, rapidity in laying, since two men will lay as much butted glass in one day as six men can lay of lapped and puttied glass. Second, it can be laid at almost any season of the year. Third, it is less difficult to repair when breakages occur, and we nil know from sad experience that these come but too often. Fourth an air Hpace between two butted panes will close up more rapidly in cold weather than it will between two lapped panes. Fifth, a lapped glass roof requires a longer period to clear itself from a heavy fall of snow or sleet, and it is more difficult to clean off the scum and filth on the inside than on a butted roof. Sixth, the great majority of florists are men of moderate financial resources, therefore, as a rule, their houses have cedar posts for the foundation and the superstructure is frame. In eight or ten years the roofs of these become as undu- lating as the prairie lands in Wisconsin. If the glass has been butted you draw the screws, remove the caps, take out the glass, reset the posts, readjust the sup- ports and purlins, reglaze, repaint and when you are through the house is nearly as good as new. Seventh, if for any reason it becomes necessary to disman- tle the house you are indeed in great luck if the glass has been butted. In the course of the last five years it fell to my lot to buy up two florists' establishments" that for good reasons were discontinued by the owners. On these two places there were seven houses, containing a little over 11,000 square feet of glass and I do not believe that over 100 feet of this was broken in the removal. Had the glass on these houses been lapped I should have considered it good policy to have supplied my men with long-handled hammers and given them instructions to give these roofs what "Paddy gave the drum." No, thank you, no lapped glass for me. I have tried both F.nd it is appropriate in this connection to say, "The proof of the pudding is in the eating." At pr3sent I have eleven houses, con- taining over 30,000 square feet of glass. On ten of these houses the glass is butted. The other is an old house with lapped glass and when this is rebuilt, if an advocate of lapped glass were to offer to do the glazing according to the antiquated method gratis, I would de- cline with thanks and gladly pay for the glazing according to the modern method. In finishing let me remark that the climate ia this part of Ontario is de- cidedly damo and at times the mercury creeps down 5 and 10 degrees and on rare occasions 15 to 20 degrees below zero. H. L. Janzen. Berlin. PIPING. I have a house 24x160 feet, twelve feet to the ridge and with side walls five feet high.

The actual capacity of the boiler required is 1,500 square feet of radiation, but for safety and economy it would be well to secure one rated at 2,000 feet capacity. Under a pressure system, with the expansion tank well ele- vated, such a system of piping should give good service. L. C. C. CARNATION NOTES.-EAST. Easter Preparations. We all know that the heavy call at Easter is for something in plants but, coming very late this year and with such weather as we have had for the week past, many plants intended for this occasion will be past their prime. Pres- ent indications point to a good demand for carnations. When these notes reach you, Easter will be little more than two weeks away and, while little can be done to increase the cut, much can be done in the way of keeping the quality up to standard. I do not predict a scarcity of stock, for no doubt there will be plenty, but, as usual, prime blooms will be in the minority. In spite of ventilation, these warm spells run the temperature in the houses up very high during the day, making the temptation very strong to save coal and labor by letting the fires go out and closing the ventilators nearly or quite tight at night. If this is done the result will be serious damage to the bloom, even if only partially developed. The difference between the tempera- ture inside and that of the cool night air causes condensation and moisture will collect on the blooms; besides, the atmos- phere will become stagnant. By all meatis have some heat on at night and a crack at the ridge to correspond in order that the air be kept moving. As the need for cuttings is practically over, all side shoots down to the point where the stem will be cut, can be re- moved when disbudding. Any buds show- ing signs of bursting or otherwise com- ing imperfect, should be cut as soon as seen. To allow them to develop is not only a hindrance to the others, and a drain on the plant, but a waste of raw material. Increased watering will be necessary as the season advances, but do not give a heavy soaking in the morning and think the plants can go it alone all day. About two or three o'clock in the after- noon there will be spots that need touch- ing up. Weeds as they appear must be pulled else they will deplete the soil and pre- vent circulation of air among the plants. Leave no detail undone. "Do it now." Geo. S. Osborn. CARNATION NOTES.— WEST. Topping Young Stock. By this time all the early potted plants are well established and most of them have been topped or are ready to top. Much has been said about what stage the plant should reach before top- ping but just let me add that it does not pay to pull out the center blades be- fore the stem begins to show. Some say it causes disease through water lodg- ing there, and they may be more or less right, but there is another reason why it does not pay. About three-fourths of the time you do not pull out the very heart, but only the blades around it, and in a couple of weeks you see the young blades push out at the top instead of the eyes along the side of the stem. You have weakened the plant and have not topped it either. Then, again, when the stem shows between the joints the growth is more matured and the eyes are better formed and ready to break and there is less check to the plant. "Varieties differ greatly and must bo topped accordingly. What would make a fine, shapely plant of one would not do for another at all. For instance, old Mrs. Joost needed only one topping to make a fine, bushy plant, while India- napolis needs to be topped every time it makes two or three joints. It natural- ly runs up to flowers any time of the year and unless you keep it topped it will waste its energies blooming when it should be building plant. The fail- ure to top enough is, I think, the main reason why some growers have failed with this variety. This severe topping must commence right from the begin- ning and be kept up until the plants are housed in the summer or early fall, so as to have a bushy plant. Shift the Young Plants. Watch all your varieties closely, espec- ially the early ones. If the young plants have filled the pots with roots you may still have to repot some of them belore planting out. Don't let them become stunted. By all means plant from pots if it is possible. If you have a lot in flats or planted on benches, it will pay you to pot them. I know they take up more room on the bench in pots and it may be a big job, etc., but it will pay you to do it. The plants will take hold better and they will be better and lift better in the fall. The roots will be more compact in the fall and hold the soil better. All these things will count when it comes to having vigorous plants next fall. Lawson and Its Rivals. Much has been said lately regarding Mrs. Lawson "running out," or de- teriorating. Like most of the other gentlemen, I must say that I cannot see it. While we have never grown Lawson quite as good as some others we have seen, yet we know that ours have been as good this season as we have ever had it. Mrs. Lawson is a most peculiar variety. Naturally it is a very strong, vigorous grower and if it is in good condition September 1 and well established on the benches, it is pretty sure to turn out fine. It is, however, a poor transplanter and it does not require much neglect on the part of the grower to throw it all out of gear and it is very slow to recover from a check at that time. Growers in general have learned how to handle it during this period and we find a much larger percentage of growers who do it successfully than we did two or three years ago. Of course there are growers whose stock has nin down through over- propagation and general neglect and a variey like Lawson, which is in great demand, is sure to suffer more than a variety that is in limited demand. The remark has been made that the Lawson blooms shown at Chicago were not so good as those shown at Detroit last year and at Indianapolis several years ago. I think they were quite as good as either lot, considering the date of the exhibitions. The Detroit show was held six weeks later than the one at Chi- cago and the one at Indianapolis was about midway between the two. I did not measure any of the blooms at either time, so I cannot say positively as to size, but I do know that there were more blooms at Chicago of other varie- ties that were as large or larger than Lawson than at any previous e^ibition. Not because Lawson was any poorer, but because the others were mostly newer and larger varieties. The judges' scores cannot be taken as evidence either, because a vase of blooms that scored say ninety points four years ago would hardly score eighty-five points this year. So that unless Lawson were grown much better today than four years ago it would score less and one would be left to think that it is deteriorating. That it does not stand out above all others as it did at one time can not be gainsaid, but it is because we are getting better varieties among the new ones. I think the variety will hold up in good shape until we are given a worthy successor. A. P. J. Baur, CARNATION BREEDING. [An address by C. W. Ward, Qaeens, N. Y., before the American Breeders' Association, at Champaign, 111., February 2, 1906.] The complexity of the subject of car- nation breeding, its immensity of detail, precludes but a superficial skimming-over of the subject in the limited time allotted to me. The original carnation known to hybrid- izers for some 2,500 years before the Christian era was a five-petaled, single bloom about one in<^h in diameter, of a pinkish mauve color. In its original state it grew generally throughout the southern portion of Europe, being found in abundance in Normandy, France, from whence it is believed by some historians to have been introduced into Great Brit- ain. So recently as 1874 it was found covering the Castle Falaise, in which William the Conqueror was born. It was described by Theophiastus as early as 300 B. C. The present carnation with which we are working is the product of several centuries of culture and hybridization. It is an open pollinated species and mother plants can be used both from the hybrid plants as well as inbreeding upon the same plants or upon the same va- riety. Once secured from seeds a variety is easily perpetuated by propagation from cuttings, which are secured in abundance and may be easily rooted. Im- provements in varieties may be made Apbil 6, 1905. The Weekly Florists^ Review^ U33 Primroses and Dutch Bulbous Stock at the Spring Show at Boston. by bud selection and bud variation as well as from seed variation due to hy- bridization. In raising varieties from hybridized seed very few improved sorts are produced, the proportion being about one good variety for each 1,000 hybrids grown. Up to the present time, I have been breeding for color alone, basing my worif upon the theory that any laws developed in color work would hold good when ap- plied to the development of other desired qualities. The Method of Work. The tools which I use in my work are very simple indeed, consisting of a pair of delicate tweezers and a microscopic magnifying glass. The method employed is to find the anther just bursting, so that the pollen is in a condition of dry powder. The anther is removed by means * of the tweezers and the pistil of the flower desired to be fertilized is lightly touched along its entire length by the pollen-bearing anther. In order to do my work with reason- able method, I have divided it into sec- tions as follows: Crimson section, com- prising crimsons or scarlet maroon in color; dark pink section, which comprises all rose, cherry and deep pink tones; light pink section, which comprises the light salmon or daybreak tints; scarlet section, which comprises all of the col- ors which may be termed red or scarlet; white section, comprising only the creamy white and snow white tints; yel- low variegated with scarlet, crimson or pink upon yellow grounds, as the yellow varieties are almost invariably marked with pink, scarlet or some other tint; white variegated section comprises va- rieties of a light pink with scarlet or crimson markings. The blue section comprises varieties showing some tendency toward the blue in color. This latter section has not as yet produced anything that might be termed a blue, as invariably there is enough pink in the make-up of the color to shade the tone into purple or mauve. The crimson, dark and light pink, scar- let and white sections have been fairly well fixed, but the yellow, white and pink variegated and blue sections will be very diflScult to fix, as they are essentially mosaics and there is a constant tendency toward variation in all hybrids produced from them. The bulk of my profitable varieties can practically be traced to the variety General Maceo, which was the result of a cross between the English variety Win- ter Cheer and Mr. Dorner's American variety Meteor. The original plant of Maceo had a very peculiar habit, being almost a climber, and was dug from the frozen ground after all supposed good sorts had been taken into the house. Its only recommendation was an intensely colored large bloom on a plant having a habit somewhat resembling a creeping grape-vine in growth, but by selection from bud variations it was built into an immensely profitable commercial va- riety. In hybridizing carnations we some- times meet vith what is termed seed sports. " Thes« have been invariably light pink varieties, more or less marked with crimson edgings and stripes, that have been produced by crossing crimson sorts which have comparatively pure crimson pedigrees for several genera- tions. Aside from its commerdal importance, there is a sentimental side to carnation growing. The production of new hybrids which are distinct improvements upon existing sorts is always a pleasure and serves to keep one thoroughly interested in the divine flower and amply repays for the close application necessary to produce practical improvements. How I G>mmenced Carnation Culture. Some fourteen years ago while walk- ing down Broadway in New York City, a Greek flower peddler pushed under my nose a bunch of clove-scented carna- tions. The delicious fragrance reminded me vividly of the old home garden, with its little plots of paisley pinks, and I became at once interested in the blooms, and being at that time out of business, I took up the growing of carnations, be- lieving that if chrysanthemums, roses and other flowers could be improved by hybridization and culture, the carnation ought to respond to similar methods, and in this view later experience proved I was not at fault. Commercial Importance. At the present time the commercial value of the carnations grown in this country has risen so that the calling may be considered one of the substantial professions. The annual value of the carnation product reaches !|>5,000,000 to $6,000,000. When we consider both the sales of plants and flowers and the capi- tal invested possibly may amount to $15,000,000 to $20,000,000, taking into consideration the value of the real estate and buildings devoted to carnation cul- ture. The improvement in the carnation which has resulted in giving us flowers three times the size that they ordinarily were, with stems four to five times as long, has produced a general advance in the price of the carnation which seems to keep pace with the increased demand. When I first undertook the growing of the carnation, 50 cents to $1 and $2 per dozen was considered the retail pVice. At present $2, $3, $6, sometimes $8 and in rare instances $10 per dozen is secured. When I first entered the business from 50 cents to $1 and up to $4 per hundred as the maximum price, were the whole- sale rates. At present $2, $4, $6, $8, $10 to $15 are ruling prices and at certain seasons as high as $25 per hundred is secured for the best and most perfect blooms. We have about two acres under glass devoted to carnation growing, the an- nual sales from which run from $30,000 to $36,000, netting a fair annual profit of $10,000 to $12,000. Value of New Sorts. Much has been said and written about the value of a single variety of new car- nations. So far I am informed at least five varieties have been sold on a basis of $8,000 to $10,000 per variety. One at least upon a basis of $20,000 for the variety, this being the scarlet sort, Rob- ert Craig, one of my own seedlings, a half interest in which was sold last year for $10,000, and the Mrs. Lawson, which netted as much as the Robert Craig. The Robert Craig variety will not be dis- seminated until the season of 1906 and already orders have been entered for some 375,000 plants, which will probably be increased to 400,000 plants before the season of dissemination is closed. The naming of a new carnation is quite a puzzle to the originator and he usually selects the name of some beauti- ful lady, some particular friend, some important personage, a bird, the names of planets or something that will serve to describe or produce an impression of the characteristics of hia flower. In naming my own productions, I have hon- ored the varieties with such names as ■'^^ .'.'.fy., r ' J- j'>T'''^''^v'r'> ■'^^.•^ 'r*'.'* U34 The Weekly Florists' Review* Apbil 6, 1905.

The carnation has frequently been uaed in a political sense. It was the McEanlej emblem and the campaign flower during the campaign which elected MeKinley and Boosevelt and during that campaign the various carnation growers throughout the country donated many thousands of flowers to decorate the but- tonholes of those marching in the politi- cal parades and at the present time the American Carnation Society decorates the grave of the lamented president with carnations each year on January 29. The carnation is extensively used as a decorative flower. It lends itself to almost every use in which flowers are suitable. Its varied and delicate color- ings, its magnificent pungent refreshing odor, and its long keeping qualities ren- der it probably the most valuable of all florists' flowers. VARIETIES TO PLANT. By the time that Easter is past and gone we can begin to size up the situa- tion and plan for the planting season. If we have kept tab on our customers' wants we will be in a position to select for planting those varieties which are moet in demand and so take full advan- tage of every foot of bench room. Beauties, as usual, will still occupy the front rank, as they deserve, and although they are grown in increasing qoantities every year, the demand seems to' keep pace with the supply. Brides and Maids will occupy their present position during next season, for, although there are some new varieties which may compete with them for public favor, they are in no danger of being displaced for a year or two. Meteor at last seems to have lost its place to a great extent and, indeed, this fact has been apparent for a year or two, as any red with even a shadow of a reputation has been welcomed to fill its place. Liberty's day is apparently over and, though some of us may stick to it for a year or two longer, it is doomed. With aU its qualities and attractiveness, it is far too erratic to become a general fa- vorite with growers and I have little donbt that Bichmond will be the red for some time to come and eventually drive Liberty from the market. La Detroit will this year get a fair trial in most places and have its merits fairly tested. Some of the other new roses, such as Killarney, Wellesley and Rosalind Orr English, wUl also get a good try-out and from present indications these varieties are likely to become favorites with the growers and the public, possessing, as they do, good distinct characters, pleas- ing color, good form and fragrance and above all good sound constitutions, which make them easy doers. The art of hybridizing roses for cult- ure under glass is as yet in its infancy and still we have attained creditable re- sults. The interest which many of our foremost growers are now evincing in this art is bound within a short time to bring about good results in the shape of varieties finer and better than anything we ever dreamed of and to help to ele- vate the profession to a higher and less sordid plane. Bibes. ROSE CULTURE UNDER GLASS. [A first prize essay by Charles Wengerber, read before the Monmouth Ctounty Horticultural Society.] Rose cuttings can be taken in Decem- ber, January and February, but the best month is January. The cuttings should be taken from healthy plants. The best cuttings are those that are taken from flowering shoots, but blind wood can also be used. The eyes should not be too far advanced. When making the cuttings use two eyes, cutting the bot- tom leaf off. The cut should be made with a sharp knife and must be smooth. If the room in th« sand bench is scarce the top leaves can be trimmed. The cutting bench should be, on the north side of a house with bottom heat, of from 60 to 62 degrees, and the over- head temperature 58 to 60 degrees. The bench should be washed out thoroughly and then whitewashed. Crocks or moss should be used for drainage. The sand should be coarse. Put a layer about three and one-half inches thick in the bench and then give a good watering and press the sand hard. The sun should not strike the cuttings until rooted. They should be syringed three times a day and ought to be rooted in three weeks. When the roots are from one-half to one inch long, pot them in thumb-pots, and when the roots are showing considerable in these pots, pot them in a size larger, and so until they are planted in the bench. They should never become pot-bound. Most of the growers nowadays use grafted stock in preference to cuttings. As soon as Manetti stock arrives it ought to be heeled in in a cool place but not letting the frost reach it. When potting, put them in as small pots as possible, but large enough to cover the roots entirely. Sometimes Manetti stock has very large roots and instead of taking 3-inch or 3% -inch pots, I would rather trim the roots somewhat. As soon as the Manetti is budded out well, and before leaf growth, grafting should com- mence. The temperature of the house should be at 50 degrees. Syringe them several times a day. The bench for the grafts should have bottom heat, enclosed on the sides, hav- ing it arranged so that a side can be taken off if there is too much heat. A frame about two feet high on one side with a slope down to one foot four inches on the other side put over a bench should be about the right height. It must be air-tight; if any cracks are found they should be closed. The bottom should be thoroughly washed and whitewashed.

Th^ Weekly Florists^ Review^ n35 two or three inches of sand or sifted ashes, ashes preferable on account of ashes taking heat up easily, would be enough to put in bottom. Water the ashes or sand thoroughly before put- ting the grafted plants in, as the mois- ture in the box will have to nourish the plants for the first four days. When grafting it should be done as quickly as possible. It is best to have a few sharp knives handy. Make a slant cut about three-quarters of an inch long on the Manetti, as close to the pot as is convenient to tie, make the cut of your scion the same size. The wood of the scion should be as near the same size of the Manetti as possi- ble. The best wood is the heel of a flowering shoot and should be taken from the healthiest stock. Have one eye on the graft and trim the leaves a little. When matching the cuts see that one side and the bottom of the cut match bark with bark. In- tying start at the top of the Manetti and finish at the bottom. The temperature at about 80 degrees has done the best with us. Do not open the box till the fourth day, and then give slight syringing, air them for about five minutes, and every day a couple of minutes more till the ninth day, when they should have about one-eighth of an inch of air. The Man- etti shoots should be taken off and plants which are dry watered. After the seventh day the temperature should drop to 75 degrees. A little more air is given each day after the ninth day. After three weeks the grafts ought to have grown together. Take them out and put in a temperature of 62 degrees, the temperature going down gradually to the regular rose house heat. When the plants show signs of good growth, loos- en the raiBa to prevent same from cutting into the wood. My reason for not taking the raffia off too early is that if the graft has not taken well on some places it will callus better than if! the rafiia is off; also, the graft will not break off so easily. When planting in the bench the graft wants to be cov- ered. The benches should be washed the same as cutting benches and, when dry, whitewashed. The drainage in the bot- tom of the bench should be covered with sod or coarse manure, and the benches filled about four inches deep with soil. The best soil is sandy loom from an old cow pasture, mixed with about one-fifth of rotten manure, cow manure if possible. The soil should be cut over about three times before using in a bench. Extreme care should be taken in planting the roses. A hole should be mad* large enough to cover the ball with ease. It can then be held with one hand at the exact depth and the soil pressed around it with the other. Do not cover the ball of the rose too much. After planting, pound the bench with a brick or tramp between the roses. Water immediately after planting, just around the ball, then according to the growth of the roots, water the whole bench. The roses should be syringed every clear day. Wire stakes should be put alongside each plant and wires run- ning lengthwise along the bench. Our principal feeding is with manure water, but at different times, different manure is used, as cow manure, chicken and sheep manure,' a good dusting of bone meal and once in a while wood ashes. John B. Nugent, Jr. (Chief of tlie CommiBBary Department, New York FloristB' Club.) Mulching should never be done during the dark days in winter. The blind wood on Ivory and Golden Gate can be cut off to some extent, as they make quick growth. The temperature at night is: Bride and Bridesmaid, 56 to 58 degrees; Ivory and Golden Gate, 54 to 56 degrees, and American Beauty 60 degrees. The temperature in day can run up 10 to 15 degrees more. CATTLEYA X SUSANNAH. This new and interesting cattleya is the result of crossing the two-leaved C. Skinneri with C. Warneri, the aim of the raiser, E. O. Orpet, South Lancaster, Mass., being to increase the size of bloom of the former with added flowers to the spike of C. Warneri. This has been accomplished for the plant as shown by Mr. Orpet before the Boston Gardeners' and Florists' Club on Jan- uary 17 was exactly intermediate, nearly all the bulbs being two-leaved, with the bronzy tint peculiar to C. Warneri show- ing on leaves and bulbs. The flower spike is stout and carried well above the leaves, producing at the initial flowering five and six blooms to the scape, the individual flowers being a trifle paler than those of C. Skinneri and of double the size. The color is uniform throughout the flower, there be- ing no accentuation of the same on the tip, as might have been expected from the use of Cattleya Warneri as the pollen parent. The committee recommended the award of a certificate of superior merit to this excellent seedling, which we be- lieve had never previously been ex- hibited either here or in Europe. W. N. Craig.

The Division of Entomology of the U. S. Department of Agriculture has is- sued a bulletin on the white fly, from which we reproduce the accompanying illustration and the following matter: ' * The damage by the greenhouse white fly to tomato, cucumber and many other plants growing under glass easily places it in the front rank of greenhouse pests. In many cases it would be impossible to grow certain crops in forcing houses without the aid of remedial measures. A specific instance is on record where, in a western Massachusetts town, the at- tacks of this insect resulted in the total loss of a greenhouse crop of tomatoes and cucumbers, valued at $4,000. "During the past few years many ap- peals for remedies have been made to the editors of our horticultural journals, to many state experiment stations, and to the United States Department of Ag- riculture; yet, although it is not, in real- ity,-a difficult insect to control, the reme- dial methods which should be followed are far from being generally known among the many greenhouse men who suffer from its depredations. "The insect is notable for its very general feeding habits, having already been recorded as breeding on over sixty different kinds of plants. Of these the following are of the most economic im- portance: Aster, chrysanthemum, salvia, lantana, fuschia, coleus, ageratum, prim- ula, geranium, heliotrope, rose, egg plant, bean, melon, lettuce, cucumber and tomato. The two last suflfer the most serious injury from this insect, perhaps more than the other greenhouse plants together, although not infrequently there are reported serious losses in greenhouses devoted to one or more of the other plants mentioned. Description. "The mature white flies of both sexes are four-winged insects scarcely more than three-fiftieths of an inch in length. The adult white flies, as well as the scale- like larvae, are provided with sucking mouth parts. In a short time after the emergence of the adult from the pupa case, the body, legs, and wings become covered with a white waxy substance which gives this, as well as other species of the genus, a characteristic floury ap- pearance. The adults feed nearly continuously during their existence. The number of eggs deposited per day by an adult female white fly in a laboratory has been found to average very nearly four. Probably in the warm- er temperature of a greenhouse this num- ber is greater by one or two eggs per dav. The eggs hatch in from ten to twelve days. The majority of the adults are found upon the upper and newer leaves of the food plant. They are almost invariably found upon the under- side of the leaves, and it is here that nearly all the eggs are deposited, al- though many are found upon the tender stems and leaf petioles and a very few scattering ones on the upper surfaces of the leaves. Appearance of Infested Plants. ' ' On thoroughly infested plants we find on the uppermost leaves only adults and freshly laid eggs; a little lower on the plants we find eggs in the process of hatching; and, flnally, on the lowermost parts of the plants we find discolored, shriveled leaves with many pupse and emerging adults and few, if any, un- hatched eggs or young larvae. The larvae and pupae secrete little globules of honey- dew, so named after the material of a like nature secreted by plant lice. Ow- ing to the interference with the respira- tory processes of the leaf, both by the bodies of the insects themselves and hj the fungus growths due to them, badly infested plants have a tendency to wilt when exposed to the sun's rays. In seri- ously infested greenhouses the leaves of the plants gradually die, the lower leaves first. Preventives. "The introduction of the insect into non-infested floral establishments may be prevented by avoiding the introduction of infested plants unless first subject- ing them to a fumigation in a tight fumigating box, based on the directions hereafter given for entire greenhouses. Vegetable houses, which are not used during the summer months, allow of a practice which not only greatly reduces the chances of the white fly appearing in the house during the growing season, but may result in the house being suc- cessfully kept free from thrips and other insect pests during the whole or a con- siderable part of the season. Tho prac- tice referred to consists in removing from the house all vegetation, even the small- est weeds, and fumigating the tightly closed greenhouse with hydrocyanic-acid gas at the rate of five or more ounces per thousand cubic feet of space for a ten hours' exposure. Fumigation with Hydrocyanic-add Gas. "This has been found to be the^most successful means of controlling the white fly in greenhouses. Its success in this case is due to the susceptibility of the adults and larvae of these insects to a comparatively long exposure to a small amount of the gas. Experiments thus far have been with tomato and cucum- ber plants, but as these plants are among those most liable to injury from improper fumigation with hydrocyanic-acid gas, a wide range of usefulness is indicated by the success thus far obtained. "Experiments have shown that the white fly is destroyed in all except two stages (egg and late pupal) by an amount of potassium cyanide which is extremely small as compared with the amounts generally recommended for other insect pests. As small an amount as between one-fifth and one-sixth ounce per 1,000 cubic feet, for three hours' ex- posure, has been used with success, but the greatest diflBculty attending the use of hydrocyanic-acid gas, in greenhouses containing plants as susceptible to in- jury by it as are the cucumber and to- CERAMIQUES DE FLANDRES. During the Easter season the trade should find an exceptionally ready sale for the truly artistic hand-made art pot- tery called "Ceramiques de Flandres" which is produced in Belgium by the Association of Flemish Craftsmen and is offered in this country by the associa- tion 's American representative, Edwin A. Denham, at 430 PHfth avenue. New York. No molds are employed in the production of this ware, the designs be- ing applied by the inlaying or super- imposition of variously colored clays, the background being composed of a num- ber of harmoniously blending shades of some one color — green is the favorite. Some of the best pieces, however, bear no designs whatever, relying entirely on their gracefulness and originality of form and beauty of coloring. This ware is very inexpensive.

BnUMt (0 eknc« witfeomt lottee. Mention Thp ReTlew when you write. mate, is the difference in the tightness of different greenhouses. It is conse- quently impossible to give specific direc- tions which will be suitable under all circumstances. "In most greenhouses, probably 0.007 gram of potassium cyanide for each cubic foot of space for an exposure not ex- ceeding three hours represents the amount which will prove most effective for treatment of the insects without in- jury to tomato or cucumber plants. In many cases 0.01 gram per cubic foot has been found suitable for the same ex- posure, but this should not be used ex- cept in loose greenhouses where, after trial, a smaller amount _ is found inef- fective. In all greenhouses when an at- tempt is to be made to control the white fly with hydrocyanic-acid gas, it is ad- visable to first use not more than 0.005 gram per cubic foot of space for a three hours' exposure. If this amount is suffi- cient for the house, none of the adults will recover after the fumigation, though in the course of two or three days many more will emerge from the pupa cases. The larvfie, when destroyed, as they should be by the fumigation, change in ^ two or three days from their normal glistening, greenish color to a yellowish or brownish color. When this result is not obtained by the first test, one or more further tests should be made, in- creasing the amount of potassium cyanide 0.001 gram per cubic foot of space for each test, with three days intervening to note results, until an amount is reached which is sufficient to destroy the larvae, or until the tender leaves of the plant show injuries as a result of the fumigation. "Tests, thus far, with other green- house plants likely to be attacked by the white fly, according to available records, have all been for a much shorter ex- posure than three hours and with a much larger amount of potassium cyanide, but it is probable that in case plants other than the cucumber and tomato require treatment for this insect, preliminary tests in a' fumigating box or in a small greenhouse will show that the amount of chemicals and the length of exposure recommended for these two can be used without the slightest danger to other plants. In most cases much larger rates of potassium cyanide per cubic foot can be used. "Fumigation of plants with hydro- cyanic-acid gas should be at night and the foliage of the plants should be dry. The greenhouse should be made as tight as possible, all entrances but one closed and locked, and arrangements made to open .a few ventilators from the outside at the expiration of the period of ex- posure. A house when fumigated should not be unnaturally tight as a result of rain or snow, otherwise the greater amount of gas confined in it under these conditions may injure the plants. The materials used f on the generation of the gas are ninety-eight per cent potassium cyanide, commercial sulphuric acid, and water, the proportions generally used be- ing one-half more acid (liquid measure) than potassium cyanide, and one-half more water than acid. Having deter- mined the cubic contents of the house and the total amount of potassium cy- anide, sulphuric acid, and water to be used, these should be divided into parts representing each twenty-five feet of length of the greenhouse. Small re- ceptacles must be used. They should be either of earthenware or glass. In many cases, ordinary glass tumblers will be suitable, though the diluted acid should never more than one-fourth fill the re- ceptacle. Each lot of the potassium cy- anide should be pulverized or broken up into small pieces, wrapped in thin paper, and laid beside one of the receptacles, these being placed at intervals of about twenty-five feet on the floor of the house. In each receptacle first pour the proper amount of water and then the acid. Be- ginning with the end of the house farth- est from the exit, drop into each recep- tacle, in succession, the package of po- tassium cyanide, proceeding as quickly as possible toward the exit. During the few seconds the operator is in the house after the generation of the gas is started, the breath should be held to prevent even the least bad effects. Close and lock the door of the house and, after three hours, partially ventilate it by opening the ventilators, previously arranged for opening from the outside. One ventilator for every twenty-five or thirty feet, opened for ten or fifteen minutes, is suf- ficient to protect the plants from possible bad effects of over-exposure to the gas. Before inhaling air in the house, how- ever, the ventilation should be more thor- ough, so that no odor of the gas, which is much like that of peach pits, can be detected. "A single fumigation will destroy practically all of the insects except the eggs and some of those in the late pupal stage. Although one such treatment might check the insects so that they would not cause noticeable damage for weeks, two subsequent fumigations two and four weeks, respectively, after the first will subject to the gas all of the white flies in the house in stages wherein, under ordinary circumstances, they are unable to withstand its destructive ef- fects. Other Remedies. ' ' Fumigation with tobacco, by burning the refuse stems and leaves, has no ef- fect on the greenhouse white fly beyond temporarily stupefying the adults. The adults may be destroyed, however, by vaporizing in the infested house certain tobacco extracts which are sold in liquid form. To accomplish this result prelim- inary tests should be made, first using the amount recommended in the direc- tions accompanying the preparation. The attempt to control the greenhouse white fly by means of tobaccd extracts alone has never, to the writer's knowledge, proven successful, while many cases of failure have been reported. The frequent fumigation necessary to control the in- sect when once it has become abundant would be impractical and costly. How» ever, in connection with syringing the plants with a soap solution such a treatment may sometimes be of value, al- though only when the use of hydrocyanic- acid gas is impossible or for some reason undesirable. "Among the sprays, the best brands of whale-oil soap, used in the proper- U36 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Ai'Kii, 0.

In many cases O.ol gram ]ier cubic foot has been found suitable for the same ex- posure, l)ut this should not be used ex- cej)! in loose greenhouses where, after trial, a smaller amount is found inef- fective. In all greenhouses when an at- tempt is to bo made to control the white fly with hydrocyanic-acid gas. it is ad- visable to tirst use not nn)re than O.OO-") gram per cutiic foot of space for a three hours' exposure. If this amount is sulli- cient for the house, none of the adults will recover after the fumigation, though in the course of two or three days many more will emerge from the pupa cases. The larva', when destroyed, as they should be by tiie fumigatiiui, change in t\\o or three ilays from their normal glistening, yrecMiish cidor to ;i yellowisii or brownish color.

"Tests. tliu> far, with otlier green- house plants likely to be attacked liy the white fly, according to available records, have iill l>e(>n for a much shorter ex- posure than three hours and with a much larger amount of potassium cyanide, but it is probable that in ease plants other than the cucumber and tomato reipiire treatment for this insect, proliniinary tests in a fumigating box or in a small greetdiouse will show that the amount of chemicals .ami the length of exposure recommended for tin se two can be used witlniut tile slightest tlaiiger to other ))lants. In nuist cases mucli larger rates of |)iitassium cyanide ])ei' culiic foot can be used. "Fumigation of ]dants witii hydro- cyanic-acid gas should be at night and tlie foliage of the ])lants should hi- dry. The greenhouse should be made as tight as possible, all entrances but one (dosed and locked, and arrangements made to open a few ventilators from the outside at the expiration of the period of ex- posure. A house when fumigated shouM not be unnaturally tight as a result of rain or snow, otherwise the greater amount of gas confined in it under these conditions m;iy injure the jdants. The materials used for. th<> generation of the g.as are ninety-eight ])er cent potassium cyanide, commercial sul|ihiiric acid, anst from the exit, drop into each recep- tacle, in succession, the ])aekagc of po- tassium cyanide, proceeding as quickly as possible toward the exit. During the few seconds the operator is in the house after the generation of the gas is started, the breath should be held to prevent even the least bad effects. Close and lock the door of the house and, after three hours, partially ventilate it by opening the ventilators, previously arranged for op(!niiig from the outside. One ventilator for every twenty-live or thirty feet, opened for ten or fifteen minutes, is suf- licient to protect the plants from possible ijad etTeets of over-exposure to the gas. Before inhaling air in the house, how- ever, the ventilation should be more thor- ough, so that no odor of the gas, which is much like that of peach pits, can be detecte, has no ef- tVit oil the grei'iihoiise wiiite ily Ix^yond temporarily stiipedying the ailults. The adults may be destroyed, however, by vaporizing in the infested h*)use certain tobai-co extracts which are sold in liquid form. To accomplish this result prelim- inary tests should Ih' made, tirst using the amount reeomimmded in the direc- tions aecom]ianying the jireparatioii. The .■itleni]pt to control the greenhouse white llv by means of tobaccci extracts alone has never, to the writer's knowledge, proven successful, while many cases of f.aihire have been rejiorted. The frequent fumigation necessary to control the in- sect when once it lias become abundant would Ik? impractical and costly. How- ever, in connection with syringing the plants with a soap solution .such a treatment may sonn^times be of value, al- though only when the use of hydrocyanic- ai'id gas is impossible or for some reason undesirable. "Among the sprays, the best brands of whale-oil soap, used in the proper- .T-v-ccvrt*. '>•■■. U38 The Weekly Rorists^ Review* April 6, 1905. tion of one to one and one-half ounces per gallon of water, have been found to destroy all of the white flies except the eggs, a small percentage of the nearly mature pupaD, and from twenty-five to fifty per cent of the adults which es- cape the spray by flying from the plants. It is not advisable to syringe tomato })lants in greenhouses at any time, when avoidable, as syringing interferes with pollination and produces a damp atmos- phere which promotes rot, but the in- jury by syringing may be as nothing compared with that which is caused daily by the insects. When the use of hydro- cyanic-acid gas is impractical, an all- night fumigation with a tobacco extract IS recommended, followed during the next day by a syringing with a solution of whale-oil soap or its equivalent. Comparative Cost of Treatment. "Potassium cyanide costs from about 30 to 50 cents per pound, according to the amount purchased. Commercial sul- phuric acid costs from about 2% to 10 cents per pound. The entire cost for a sin- gle fumigation of a greenhouse contain- ing 20,000 cubic feet is between 20 and 30 cents. The labor required is scarcely, if any, greater than for fumigation with other materials. A single fumigation^ with a suitable tobacco extract would cost, in a house of the same size, at least $1.50, and the cost of labor for the syringing which is recommended to fol- low such fumigation would probably not be less than $1. The soap required would cost only a few cents, though pos- sibly as much as the materials used in a fumigation with hydrocyanic-acid gas. Cautions. "Hydrocyanic-acid gas is one of the deadliest poisons known, and should al- ways be handled with the greatest care. Never hold the potassium cyanide in the bare hand when pulverizing, but wrap up the lumps in two or more thick- nesses of cloth before breaking with a hammer. Dust or small pieces of po- tassium cyanide should not be thrown away in exposed places, but always bur- ied, as should the contents ox the recep- tacles of the chemicals after the fumi- gation. Never inhale air in a green- house after the generation of gas has begun, and provide against any one en- tering the house before it is properlv ventilated." f t- ^ CHICAGO. The Market The relation between supply and de- mand has continued practically un- changed in the past week. There are tremendously heavy receipts in all lines, but each day's receipts of the staples has been cleaned up at some price through the medium of the cheap sales stores scattered through the country. The average returns per flower were never lower at this season, but the aggregate of each day 's sales should be reasonably satisfactory to the wholesaler, if the aggregate receipts from each grower's establishtaent are not all that they might be. If there is anyone who has cause for complaint it is the Beauty grower. Beauties never sold cheaper. All the big growers are coming on with heavy crops and receipts are more than legitimate de- mand can assimilate. The dealers hold the stock until it is too open to ship and then job it off to the boys with the side- The Annual Special Spring Number rOR EASTER, 1905 Will be issued next week (April 13th.)

The volume of business increased, es- pecially toward the close of last week. Friday was a heavy day in point of ship- ments going out, many wagon-loads of express boxes leaving the wholesale mar- ket. Saturday was a good local day and Sunday the street salesmen cleaned things out. Monday is always an active ship- ping day and Tuesday the dullest day of the week, but stock moved out fairly well at cheap prices. Qualities continue excellent, consider- ing the unseasonably warm weather. Tea roses are soft and somewhat reduced in size and Maids are losing color. Carna- tions are very fine indeed and are coming in in greater quantities than ever before known in this market. There are, how- ever, dozens of buyers all around the country, with new ones springing up every day, who can handle lots of from 1,000 to 10,000 or 15,000 any day when the price is to their liking and so no stock goes to waste. Callas do, however, waste badly and so do violets. Some bulbous stock remains unsalable. The outdoor southern stock is coming m by the wagon-load and goes only at slaughter prices. Outdoor lilac has appeared, also trailing arbutus. Violets for Easter. There is a good deal of difference of opinion as to what the violet supply will be for Easter. Some houses do not ex- pect to have any and others are booking orders right along. Last week the New York violets were "shaking" badly but this week they are doing a little better, probably because of a little cooler weath- er. The chances are that at Easter there will be plenty of shipments, with the small proportion of fair stock readily bringing $1 a hundred and the rest go- ing at any price. Singles are already practically done for. Help Wanted. There is a scarcity of help in the wholesale houses and half a dozen good workers could find jobs ranging all the way from places that pay $12 a week to $40. Capable salesmen, buyers and pack- ers are hard to find and in no branch of the trade is help better paid than in the wholesale houses in Chicago. Depend- ability is the first requisite and then hustle, with a modicum of good manners and a little experience and some natural ability for the work. Various Notes. Bassett & Washburn have their big new range up and partly glazed. The beds are first a foot of cinders, then a bot- tom of drain tile, then six inches of soil, the side boards of pecky cypress. Their improvements this season will cost close to $70,000. There are no nails in the new range except in the ventilators, over 20,000 screws being used. George Reinberg says that in spite of the heavily loaded market he is well satis- fied with the last few weeks' business. He is now on with another Beauty crop like the famous one at Christmas. Jos. Foers- ter, who has charge of the salesroom, says shipping business has been especial- ly heavy the last couple of weeks. Poehlmann Bros. Co. will rebuild some of the older houses this year. The quan- tity of stock they have cut this past winter is something remarkable and they propose to put every house in its highest producing condition for next season. E. C. Amling says that he thinks busi- ness decidedly good and prices well maintained, considering the great quan- tity of stock coming into the market, which is certainly prodigious. Afbil 6, 1905.

The stock is fine. N. J. "Wlietor says that business in carnation cuttings was slow in January •and February but that March made up for it. Chrysanthemum plants are selling well. Albert Amling is already cutting Kais- erin of quality which would be a credit at the height of the season for this fine summer bloomer. Harry Eowe is using Gen. MacArthur rose, obtained through J. B. Deamud, and '' says it takes well with his customers. It .opens well and is a good keeper. On April 12 Albert Fuchs will auction off the balance of his stock at 2059 North Halsted street. The sale will begin at 10 0 'clock sharp and there is much good stock to be sold. On March 30 W. N. Eudd heard a shot in Mt. Greenwood cemetery and found the body of August Wassou, a fiorist at 539 Eightieth street, lying by the grave of the suicide's daughter. Joe Curran is again with 0. J.

The hottest March 28 and 29 in the memory of the oldest inhabitant, touching 76 degrees in the shade, was naturally followed by a chilling blast and on Sunday overcoats and blue noses were again in evidence. The consequent decrease in shipments of cut flowers on Monday hardened the market and held prices steady, but at prices which were about the lowest of the season. Violets were few and far between on Monday evening. They became quite aggressive for a time and an occasional "special" touched high-water mark for weeks, 50 cents, there being not enough to go around. But the usual flood was looked for on Tuesday and with a return of warm weather there will be few left for the Easter festivity. One prominent vio- let dealer declares the tide has set in toward a steady retrograde movement and that overproduction and lack of qual- ity are the real reasons for the great slump in violet values in the season of 1905. He predicts even worse times the coming winter and a supply far in excess of any possible demand. Fifty- four new houses at Ehinebeck are report- ed to have been contracted for already. All kinds and classes of people are in- oculated with the fever and it looks as if violet raising would be the only in- dustry of that section. Southern narcissus is here in such quantities that selling it at any price was a problem on &iturday. Twenty- five cents was the bottom and lots of it had to be sacrificed at that figure. Qual- ity was excellent and shipments arrived in good condition. Eoses have journeyed steadily downward. Thousands of the best Beauties were sold at 10 and 12 cents on Saturday. General Jacqueminot is in the market and as popular as ever. Pansies sell slowly. Plenty of cut lilies arrive daily and the best seldom go above 75 cents per dozen. Carnations are very abundant and values have fallen. As Easter ap- proaches prices will naturally harden and advance and Saturday of the present week will doubtless see a change for the better. Wild smilax has advanced in price and is hard to obtain in first-class condition. Some poor stock has been shipped direct from the south, Kreshover handles a superior lot and seems to have the usual stock for his customers. The present asking price is $7 for a box of fifty to sixty pounds, with $8 to $10 possible for Easter. Yarioas Notes.

Secretary Young will receive and care for all ship- ments, as usual. A very interesting meet- ing is promised and a large attendance desired. The Bowling Club will meet at the Thirtieth street alleys at 3 p. m. on Monday. Matters of importance must be settled at this meeting and a full house la requested. The auction houses are well filled with buyers and prices have been fairly en- couraging. Hardy roses, rhododendrons and evergreens form the bulk of the of- ferings to date. Fruit trees and shrubs are beginning to arrive and the pros- pect for a long and successful season seems assured the men of magnetic voice and persuasive smile. Peter Crowe and wife, of Utica, were in the city last week and have departed for an outing at Old Point Comfort. J. C Spencer, of Utica, was also a visi- tor and spent Thursday evening teach- ing the Flatbush boys how to bowl. The ever welcome Phil Breitmeyer, of Detroit, also called to look over the Easter plant supply. The market at Canal street has been opened and from now on John Birnie and his confreres will be busy until Decoration day, with short intervals for slumber. The market building is still a ' ' dream. ' ' Charles Millang is handling some fine Brunners from Victor Zuber, of White- stone, and has arranged to sell John Mes- sen's (of Newton), 20,000 cut lilies at Easter. He will have his conservatory and extra rooms stocked with every va- riety of Easter flowering plant as usual. Walter Sheridan has been handling an average of over 1,000 special Beauties a day for some time. Last Thursday his brothers and friends gave Jack Gunther a reception at the store in honor of his recovery. A. J. Fellouris has returned from a successful southern trip, where he visited his shippers and customers. He has nearly a thousand cases of galax for the spring and summer secured, between 8,000,000 and 9,000,000 leaves. For Easter he will have in addition an abun- dance of arbutua, lilac and other spring flowers. Mr. Koster, Jr., of Koster & Co., Bos- koop, Holland, is in the city and will return to Europe on May 10. Arthur Merritt is now with the Rosary Co., on Thirty-fourth street. Eeed & Keller have bought the flo- rists' supply end of Frank Netchert's business and also his extensive machin- ery for the manufacture of metal de- signs. New York headquarters for nov- elties for florists may well be claimed for this enterprising firm. Theo. Lang bowled an average of 230 in five games one evening last week. Pankok & Schumacher, of Whitestone, will build two new houses this summer. They now have 15,000 square feet de- voted to lilies, oranges, hydrangeas, bougainvilleas and other seasonable East- er plants. They will have a large Stock of Hydrangea rosea next year. One of their novelties is a seedling dah- lia from Countess of Lonsdale and they have a fine stock of Vermilion Cactus. The Hinode Florist Co., at Whitestone, has a fine range of houses completed and will build three more, 25x150, this sum- mer. They have 25,000 lilies in pots that promise to be in perfect shape for East- er and 2,000 grand Crimson Ramblers, grafted stock, compact, of fine shape, also 500 hydrangeas and 4,000 hybrid roses, as well as many other Easter plants and Japanese novelties. The same varieties fill their 17,000 square feet of glass at Woodside. Plenty of land has been purchased for steady yearly devel- opment. Louis Dupuy, of Whitestone, has some twenty houses stocked with Easter plants as well as a fine house for daisies and carnations. Queen and Prosperity. He may fairly be styled the hydrangea king, having thousands of plants, Hortensis in all colors, azurea, rosea, Thos. Hogg and Joan d'Arc. His Baby Ramblers are beauties and he has a lot of them, also Crimson Ramblers and Philadelphia, ericas, genistas, lilacs, daisies, the whole in superb condition. Mr. Dupuy has an able lieutenant in his good wife and has built himself one of the most con- venient homes in the town, where he de- lights in dispensing hospitality. Ghormley received 35,000 daffodils one day last week from Delaware and Vir- ginia. Shipments continue far beyond expectations and nearly every wholesaler in the city has had a share of them. A. L. Young & Co. seem quite satis- fied with the steady growth of their business, which is largely conducted on a cash basis. Retailers everywhere are in the midst of Easter preparations and already the windows are a charming vision. Plants are being delivered daily and are selling well, indicating the fulfillment of the prophecy that it would be Easter every day from now until the consummation, still nearly three weeks distant. Roberts & Greenwald, on Columbus avenue, have dissolved partnership, Mr. Greenwald continuing the business. Bowling.

We had very warm weather during the greater portion of the past week, which caused a very heavy output of flowers. On several days the market was quite druggy, Saturday being an exception, as nearly everything cleaned out nicely. The first few days of April have been cold and blustery, conditions better fitted for the preceding month, but with gen- erally clear skies more flowers are coming in than can be absorbed at this season. Roses have tumbled in prices heavily and it is hard to give quotations on these. Beauties are plentiful and quite druggy. Liberty sells better, but is much lower. -...'■■'^': -,:\- , Ai'HiL 0, 1S>05.

Carnations are arriving in enormous quantities; from $1 to $2.50 are the prices, according to quality, a few extra select going iiigher. Single violets are getting scarce, but doubles are still abundant. From 75 cents down to 300 for $1 are usual quotations. Daf- fodils remain about the same, but theie is less call for tulips. Some very good Spanish iris is coming in, selling all the way from 75 cents to .$1.50 i)er hundred. The demand for this flower, strange to say, is not very good. Callas and Easter lilies are abundant and lower. Asparagus and ferns remain about the same. Various Notes. Ten new members were elected to mem- bership in the Massachusetts Horticul- tural Society at a meeting of the board of directors on April 1. Messrs. Henri de Vilmorin, Philip do Vilmorin and James H. Veitch were elected honorary corresponding members. The secretary was asked to write to "'the presidents of the Carnation and Rose Societies to see if it would be possible to have the two societies meet at the same time in Boston in 1906. Quite a number of prominent growers would like to see the two con- ventions meet together if a date agree- able to each could be arranged. We believe the two societies have never pre- viously met in the same city in the same year and this would appear to be a splendid opportunity for them to hold a joint exhibition. It would undoubtedly draw a very much larger attendance of the members of both societies than could possibly be secured at separate conven- tions. More particularly is this true of western and southern growers, a good many of whom grow and are interested in both flowers. If those who are exclusive- ly carnation or rose growers will but be willing to forward or set back the dates of their meetings a little there is no rea- son why a satisfactory arrangement can- not be made to join hands for once. Welch Bros, are distributing agents for plants of the popular Killarney rose. They report this rose as a fine seller and wonderful keeper. They are receiving ex- ceptionally fine Queen of Edgely from the Floral Exchange, Philadelphia, which they say sell well now, when Beauties are hard to move. E. Sutermeister is shipping extra well grown Spira?a astilboides and the variety superba to the Park street market. C. E. Diekerman, Dorchester, and John Husband, of Cambridge, are sending fine cinerarias to the new market. Hoffman, at the same stand, has a fine assortment of azaleas and rhododendrons. Oswald Ralph, of South Weymouth, has a seedling carnation, the result of a cross between a white seedling and Maceo, which is very promising. The color is a light magenta showing well under artifi- cial light. Galvin had one of the windows at his Tremont street store filled with extra fine Gardenia florida the past week. Anderson & Williams are bringing in a fine assortment of well flowered tea and hybrid perpetual roses in pots to the new market, which sell well. Farquhars, among other bulbous stock, have some of the fine double orange tulip, Cairrone d'Or which seems to take the popular fancy. At the recent exhibition it was the most admired tulip shown. Those who have no^ grown it should give it a trial. Robert Miller is at East Brookfieid, Mass., and not East Bridgewater, as stated in last week's notes. Sim & Kidder are still shipping quan- tities of grand Princess of Wales violets to the Park street market. Sim's sweet peas, which command top priees, are su- perb. Burpee's new Sunbeams, of prim- rose color, are very fine with him. Weather conditions have at last al- lowed us to get sweet peas and a* few other early seeds into the ground. It is seldom the ground is so dry at this sea- son. Our winter rains were very scant indeed and for the benefit of vegetation we hope the arrears of precipitation wul be forthcoming ere long. Indications point to a rather heavy loss in trees and shrubs from the lale winter. Recently planted evergreens seem to have suffered severely. A dry fall and winter, added to the prolonged cold, is respons- ible for these conditions. W. N. Craig. CLEVELAND. The Market We have just passed through the ferocious month of March, with its sup- posed piercing winds and howling bliz- zards. I can say that the month past was remarkable for its calmness and serenity. Sunshine was in great abun- dance, which, in addition to the thermom- eter hovering between 70 and 80 degrees, made stock plentiful. It looked at times as if a great glut would result, but the bright, warm weather was aa incentive to the public to purchase the beautiful, irrespective of the Lenten sea- son, which always has an effect on the market. Business, generally speaking, is fair, with an abundance of high grade flow- ers. Prices remain firm on some special lines, but as a rule are away below par. Beauties are in good demand, at from $1 to $4 per dozen. Home-grown blooms are superior to shipped stock. Tea roaes are not over-abundant and average from 3 to 8 cents. Meteor is of good color and quality at the same price. Carna- tions are still in heavy supply. Priees range from $10 to $30 per thousand, most of them going at the former priee. A prominent bank opening on the west side created quite a furor in the carnation market on April 1. Twelve thousand carnations. Beauties and tea, roses by the hundreds were used. Ebd it not been for this special demand many a consignment would have gone by the way. The plant trade is quite brisk and many very fine azaleas, lilies, genistas and pans of bulbous stock grace the re- tailers' windows. Particularly notice- able were some pans of Murillo tulips is Collins & Harrison's store. Various Notes. The J. M. Gasser Co. is making an elegant display of great variety. Some very fine roses from the Rocky River plant adorn the windows, while some well grown plants play an effective part. Smith & Fetters are in the midst of a moving "bee" but are still doing busi- ^- :r 1 U42 The Weekly Florists^ Review. t , Apbil 6, 1905. (S3 ANNOUNCEMENT!

Eadie is making a prominent decorative effect with Beauties sent in from his East Cleveland plant. C. M. Wagner reports an abundance of funeral work, which keeps him busy. The Cleveland Cut Flower Co. is re- ceiving some fine Beauties from the Es- sex Greenhouses. Robt. Kegg is still bringing in some fine Lawson carnations. Isaac Kennedy, of West Park, is cut- ting the finest tea roses near Cleveland. His sport of Bride is a wonder. The Ohio Floral Co. is sending to its Cleveland store some choice roses with stems from two to three feet. The F. K. Williams Co's. cut of roses is quite heavy and color magnificent. This concern is compelled to discard Met- eor, owing to the small fly which was so disastrous in and about Chicago. A house of Kaiserin 50x150 is a wonderful sight, thousands of buds developing. It is with sincere regret that we learn of the death of Mrs. Casper Aul. The sympathies of the craft are extended to Mr. Auk Jas. Eastwell is visiting the east, look- ing up Easter novelties. Forest City. PHILADELPHIA. The Market. The market has shown some improve- ment, but may still be termed dull and irregular. The warm weather has short- ened the supply of violets, which bid fair to be out of the market by Easter. Sweet peas are taking their place to some extent and on several days the sup- ply has not equaled the demand. There were hardly as many flowers used at the opening of city councils on Monday as last season. Beauties, Liberties, Me- teors and potted plants were the popu- lar offerings. The supply of southern daffodils, while hardly as large as a week ago, appears more than suflScient, tliere being virtually no price for them. Indications point to a good supply of Easter lilies and an exceptionally fine, lot of Easter plants. Wild smilax is scarce. Mr. Stokes* Easter Plants. . Walter P. Stokes, of the well-known seed firm of Johnson & Stokes, has a range of glass adjoining his attractive home at Moorestown, N. J. He makes a specialty of Easter plants, which are now making a fine show. The lilies are largely longiflorums, short, stocky plants, with good foliage and buds de- veloping nicely. There are a nice lot of azaleas in medium sizes, two good batches of spiraeas and a goodly number of Hydrangea Otaksa, both pink and blue, with large heads of bloom. Mr. Stokes has partially solved the difficult problem of securing an Easter and a spring crop from the same set of houses, by filling two large buildings with his Easter plants, now almost ready, and potting up the spring plants in the space thus made. These comprise a general as- sortment of geraniums and soft-wooded I do not want to miss a single issue of your valuable paper. Every number of contains much valuable information, often of value beyond the cost of a whole year's subscription. JOHN T. TAYLOR. Rome, Ga. stock, also some vegetables, two houses of carnations, some rubbers propagated from stock planted out and a nice lot of tulips. The feature of the place is the valley, which is forced in quantity throughout the year. There is quite a heavy cut now of sturdy looking flow- ers with good foliage, with prospects of a still larger supply at Easter. Various Notes. Hugh Graham has, in addition to the fine collection of Easter plants described last week, a very nice lot of Hydrangea Otaksa. The scene at Bayersdorfer & Co. is one of great activity. The big ware- house is full of cases packed, and par- tially packed, for shipment. Clerks are hurryiiig about, completing orders, and big drays below are being loaded with cases of supplies for all parts of the country. M. Rice & Co. received a few days ago a large shipment of the popular twig ware, consistii\g of nests, hampers and baskets, which kept them busy for sev- eral days filling their back orders, which were very large. The Modem System. Through the courtesy of J. G. Whill- din, of the Whilldin Pottery Co., the Review is able to present its readers with the following original and clever lines : Oh, Isn't It great to be np-to-date. And live in thla year of grace, With a system and place for everything. And — nobody kn<>w8 tbe place! We've an Index card for each thing we do, And everything under the sun; It takes so long to fill out the cards, We never get anything done. We've loose leaf ledgers for saving time, The Lord knows what they cost. When half our time is spent each day Hunting for leaves that are lost. Stenographers who spell like "H " And make us swear and cuss; When we are not dictating to them Why — they're dictating to us. And sectional this, and sectional that; We'll soon have sectional legs; I dreamt last night that I made a meal Of sectional ham and eggs. I dreamt that I lived In a sectional house. And rode on a sectional "boss," And drew my pay in sections from A sectional "section boss." Oh, isn't it great to be np-to-date. And live In this year of grace. With a system and place for everything, And — nobody knows the place. Phil. London, Ont. — Wm.

Freeman's place on Brightwood avenue in Takoma Park is in good con- dition. He has some very good carna- tions. Mrs. T. W. Lawson has been good all winter and shows no sign of running down. Challenger, Enchantress, White Cloud and Joost are as good as ever. Boses are in full crop but will be off crop for Easter if this warm weather continues, but one house of Kaiserin and La France will come in just right. The Georgetown place, in charge of Jos. Freeman, Jr., is in fine shape for Easter. He grows a lot of pot plants. Lilies are very good. G. E. A. Bird-in-Hand, Pa. — A recent fire in the boiler house of E. J.

In 1903 we imported onions from Ber- muda to the extent of 215,866 bushels, and of potatoes, 111,344 bushels. It is reported that John Lewis Childs bought a new rhubarb of Luther Bur- bank upon the occasion of a recent visit. The Maryland packers are disposed to limit the pack of tomatoes this year in hopcti of re-establishing the market on a firm basis. The tulips are now in full flower in Holland and advices are that the stock is in fine shape and a good crop of bulbs in prospect. The U. S. Department of Agriculture has issued a bulletin covering the work of development of single-germ seed of the sugar beot. The Ohio Seed Co., capital stock $6,000, has been incorporated by TL C. McCall and G. A. Fries, of Buffalo, and J. W. Woodruff, Hamburg, N. Y. The Nursery and Seed Trade Associa- tion of Great Britain has 193 members. It deals with credits and other matters ■ affecting the individual welfare of its members. The plan for a journal to be pub- lished at Kansas City, exclusively for the seed trade, has been abandoned, for the time being at least, and subscriptions returned. Lack of advertising support is said to be the reason. In their house organ, "The Market Ciardener, " .Johnson & Musser say: "A seed or two of castor bean planted with each hill" of melons or cucumbers will dp much to drive away the insect that does 80 much harm.

A truss bears from eight to eleven buds, of which six are frequt-ntly open at one time, making au immense flower. It is of great substance and biars fehiopinR without bruising. Stems can be cut two feet long and are as rigid as fcticks. It is very prolific in blocm producing three to four side shoots of eight buds each besides the main fli wer. Bulbs no bigger than diied wax beans produce as large a flower as the largest bulbs, only the stems ate t^horter. It propagates very freely, producing from four to eight bulbs, all of which will fiower the next year. All growers of freesia should try this queen of freesia for when once grown you will want no other. Price for Iar£e bulbs. $400 per 100; $30 00 per IGOO; 500 at 1010 rate. Discount on 5C00 and over.

THE SEED TRADE. Reports as to the seed trade to April 1 are almost all to the effect that the volume of business to that date is ahead of recent years because of the mild weather of March. January and February were not up to the average with any .save the jobbing houses but ^Fareh has more than made up the loss. While the busy season has come earlier than usual to the mail order houses and this seems certain to be a very good year for this branch, still jobbers report that the requirements of general merchants handling seeds have been larger than ever and re-orders are already coming in.

What effect would about 500 pounds of nitrate of soda have on a piece of ground or a greenhouse 32x200? The ground had never been broken up be- fore and was heavily manured in the first place. When the lettuce came up or was transplanted and had taken a good hold, the nitrate of soda was put on, not mixed in water at all, but put on the ground and worked in. The first crop had about 250 pounds and the second the same. The first crop was good but the second crop, of let- tuce, was no good at all. Can you tell us what the effect will be on a third cropf G, & S, Nitrate of soda is used at the rate of about 300 pounds to an acre, so you have certainly been using it pretty freely when you have put 500 pounds on that small patch, and I am not surprised that your crop of lettuce has failed. The ■oil would get so overcharged with it that it would be impossible for the plants to make healthy roots. I would not advise planting a third crop of lettuce. Better grow some gross feeding crop, such as cauliflower, for a time to help work the surplus nitrate out of the soil. Before planting such crop I think it would be advisable to give your soil a thorough soaking of water, so as to wash part of the manure out or it may prove too hot quarters even for such a gross feeder as cauli- flower, w. 8. Croydon. GREENHOUSE BEETS. Though beets can be grown in a let- tuce house temperature, it is not the most profitable temperature to grow them in, as growth is too slow. Houses that have grown lettuce all winter and are now getting a little too warm for that crop can be employed to better advant- age if devoted to beets now. It should be quite easy to run such houses at a night temperature of from 55 to 60 de- grees from this out without hard firing and the sun heat on most days will be sufficient to maintain a day temperature of from 75 to 80 degrees, at which beets ought to mature in about four weeks from time of planting, providing good plants are used.

Hunt, 76-78 Wabash Ave., Chicago The seed could be sown right in the bench and thinned to the proper dist- ance if necessary, but the better pian is to sow in flats and transplant to the bench afterwards. This is a consider- able saving of bench room, as for nearly half the period of their growth they are occupying but small space in the flats. If the seeds are sown rather thinly in the flats it will not be necessary to prick them over until they are large enough to be set in the bench, but if by some mischance they are too thick in the flats and are thought to be in dan- ger of becoming drawn and weakly be- fore they are large enough for setting in the bench, it would certainly be better to prick them over and insure good plants. Rich soil is unnecessary for the growth of this crop, so that any soil in which some other crop had been grown would be all right without the addition of ma- nure unless the soil was very much ex- hausted, in which case the addition of a little well decomposed manure would be advantageous.

Greenfly will sometimes attack them if the atmosphere of the house is kept too dry. Should these make their appearance, tobacco, or any of the ordinary remedies can be employed to keep them in check, but with plenty of moisture both atmospheric and at the root there will be little danger from any serious attack.

Ismene calathina, which, by the way, IS allied to the pancratium, is one of the most useful and beautiful of white- flowered stove plants. Bulbs which have been rested during the winter months may be shaken out and started into growth. A suitable compost to grow them in should consist of two parts fil?rous loam, one part leaf-soil, and one part old hotbed manure, with t>. liberal addition of charcoal and sand. Clean, well-drained pots should be ready and should be of different sizes, accord- ing to the size of the bulbs. Pot firmly, and keep the apex of the bulb level with the surface of the soil, and give a sprinkling of sand to finish it off. Give a good watering, and place the plants in a house with a tempera- ture of about 60 degrees allowing a rise by sun-heat. Water very carefully until the pots become full of roots, but keep well damped with the syringe, and also give a sprinkling overhead on warm, sunny clays to encourage growth. Ismenes are quick-rooting plants, having large, white, fleshy roots, and if good results are expected, should not be allowed to become potbound, or, as far as my ex- perience goes with them, they will not flower. Therefore I would recommend them to have plenty of pot-room, and when the roots have reached the crocks give them a shift into a larger sized pot, taking care not to injure the roots in doing so. A slightly rougher com- post may be used for the last potting, with the addition of a little good fer- tilizer. Do not confine the plants to a close atmosphere, but give air on fa- vorable occasions, or they will become PITTSBURG FLORISTS' EXCHANGE WholMMl* Florlsta uid riorlats' ■nppllaB. 888 Diamond St., PITTSBURG.

Diluted manure-water may be given with advantage about twice a week, and occasionally a sprinkling of artificial manure will be very beneficial. When the flowers begin to open remove the plants to a cool, dry greenhouse, and give clear water. The plants last a considerable time in flower when al- lowed to grow under cool conditions at the finish, and are much more scented than when grown in strong heat. After they have finished flowering cut off the flower-spike and stand the plants where they can be v«ell looked after. They should still be fed lightly, as this will help them to develop new bulbs ond offsets. As the foliage turns yellow gradually withhold water, and eventually dry them off altogether. The pots may be laid on their sides under the greenhouse stage during the win- ter, providing it is not too wet. — Gar- dening World. The Eeview is just the paper. — C. H. Hayden, Dexter, Me.

The Market Business for some unaccountable rea- son is better than I have seen it at this season for a number of years. Trade was really quiet for some weeks before Lent commenced, but since that time it has been really good. Tlie weather has not been so favorable for a big crop of flowers and this fact, together with a rush of funeral work which all the stores have been favored with, has helped to clean up stock and keep everything and everyone on the rush. Roses are of better quality at present than they have been for some time and they are consequently bringing a shade more in price. Carna- tions remain at the same figures I quoted a couple of weeks ago, with a good de- mand. Violets and daffodils are out of season and tulips are past their prime. Harrisii and* longiflorums are getting more plentiful and the prospects are for a big cut at Easter. Valley is in good supply and the demand fully equals it. Smilax and good maidenhair fern are not over-plentiful. Variotu Notes. Superintendent McLaren, of Golden Gate park, estimates that it will take $50,000 for the coming season to prop- erly cover the various parks in the city with loam and fertilizers. He expects to do considerable grading as soon as the weather becomes favorable. Culligan & Co., 211 Sutter street, de- serve considerable praise for the hand- some quarters they have recently fitted up and for the artistic window displays they are giving the public. They are successors to Geo. B. Jones, one of San 1* rancisco 's pioneer florists. • A visit to St. Mary's cemetery, Oak- land, shows extensive plantings of palms and other decorative trees being made under the direction of Superintendent :w whwi yrm write. It is said that Luther Burbank's new rhubarb has been purchased by John Lewis Childs. The stock consisted of about 10,000 roots. Mr. Childs recently paid a visit to Mr. Burbank's experimen- tal grounds. Probably the most elaborate display of floral designs ever seen in the neighbor- ". 1.

Mention The Review when you write. connected with the State University at Berkeley that a plague of caterpillars threatens the life of the grand old oaks on the college grounds and action will be taken at once to save the trees by destroying the pests. It is a peculiar fact that every few years hordes of hungry caterpillars loake their appearance in this neighborhood and this year's army seems to be larger than ever. The oak trees in Berkeley are cele- brated as being among the most beautiful specimens in the state and they are par- ticularly susceptible to the damage done by the caterpillar, many of the trees having been entirely destroyed several years ago. The appetite of these cater- pillars is so insatiable that when thej are fairly in action they make an end of leaves and twigs and all the tender and edible parts of the trees, leaving them in a condition that presages com- plete destruction. Professor W. A. Sit- chell, head of the botanical department, has several methods of extermination that he will use, and publish the one that be finds does the work quickest. It is only some particular spot* that are visited in this way and very searching inquiries and experiments along this line will shortly be published by th* botanical department. G. Califortua.

Prices have varied greatly, running low all the week on first quality stock. Although fresh stock was fairly well cleaned up on some days, the glut is still with us and from the looks of things on Monday it has come to stay throughout this week. The report is general throughout the city that business is dull in all lines except in funeral work, which some of us have been blessed with the past week, so with these conditions it is utterly impossible for the trade to use up the vast amount of stock sent to this market. At Kuehn 's, Ellis', Bcrning's and the new market of Angermueller, who just opened, stock of all' kinds is seen in great quanties. All stock is of extra fine quality. In roses we have plenty of extra fine stock. Beauties of all lengths are more than enough. Extra fancy carnations at $2 per hundred is surely cheap. There are 80 many of these that we get tired look- ing them over for the choice varieties. Bulbous flowers of all kinds are great- ly overstocked. Tulips have very little call. Harrisii and eallas sell fairly well, also Romans and Dutch hyacinths. It looks as though this stock will be pretty well over by Easter. Violets are about over, very few coming in, pale and small. Greens are as iisual in supply and de- mand. The weather is still fine. A day 's rain the past week made things all the better for tlie plant men, who are very busy shaping the grounds for early planting. Union market is alive with blooming .plants, with plenty of buyers. Seeds- men along Fourth street report a heavy demand for grass and flower seeds. Various Notes. Henry Aul, one of our foremost grow- ers, will build two new houses this sum- mer. He has made application for mem- bership in the St. Louis Florists' Club. Miss Hoffman has moved her store from SidneJ- street around the corner to a much larger place. Miss Hoffman re- ports quite a little funeral work. The St. Louis Palm Co., at 923 Olive street, has made extensive improvements in its large show windows. Oscar Heile, on South Broadway, re- ports a busy week with funeral work. He is sporting a new dog on his delivery wagon. F. H. Weber, on Boyle avenue, is showing some well grown blooming plants, also some extra fancy cut stock. He reports very good trade since Lent began. Hans Jepson, private gardener to C. D, McLure, reports that he will grow some specimen chrysanthemums for the flower show this fall. Mrs. Wm. Ellison and daughter spent the past week in Chicago, leaving Arthur in charge. Max Rotter, on North Broadway, says he has felt little effect of I^ent. Plenty of funeral work has kept him busy. Frank Bucksaht, formerly a partner of Henry Bcrning in the retail business, has formed a partnership with H. B. Stocke, to carry on a general landscape business. Both men were with the flori- cultural department during the World's Fair. Robert Meinhardt has taken a position as bookkeeper with C. A. Kuehn. He is a cousin to Fred H. Meinhardt.

Miss Beula Hurst has taken a position with Miss Theresa Badarraco, at 130S Olive street. Tlie members of the St. Louis Flo- rists' Club should not forget to attend the meeting on next Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock in Odd Fellows' building. The feature of the meeting will be a talk by several of the large growers on Easter stock, whicb will be very inter- esting to the retailers, who will want to know where to get the best blooming plants. Several of the members will scatter food for thought and bones for contention of the growers, retailers and wholesalers. Six applications for mem- bership will also be presented, among them some permanent growers. J. J. B. TORONTO. The weather is fine and prospects are that spring has come, although we hear prophets say that all those fine March days borrowed from April will have to be paid back. Business has been good, although many of our growers are complaining about stock not going as readily as it should. They forget that the bright weather is giving them more to sell than LEIKENS, 7 E. 33ril St., N6W York City, Near the Waldorf-Astoria. Mention The Review when yog wrlt». they would have otherwise, and in conse- quence they can sell much cheaper and save coal. Easter lilies are coming in quite plentifully and in some quarters it is expected there will be a shortage for Easter. Azaleas and many of our best flowering plants will be short, on ac- count of the late Easter and the ad- vanced season. C. Tidy has just returned from New .

The S9th annual convention will b« held at West Baden, Ind., June, 1906. K A. CusTSR has purchased the Mound Nursery near Farmington, 111. At Lake Arthur, N. M., the Townsite Co. has planted 70,000 apple grafts for the improvement of the town. The Phoenix Nursery Co., Delavan, Wis., is working on spring orders with a full force and expects the largest season to date. The Graham Nursery Co., Mechanics- ville, la., has been incorporated, with $10,000 capital stock, by H. F. CoUver and J. M. Graham. D. T. McCarthy, nurseryman, of Lock- port, delivered an address on grafted fruit trees before the Niagara County Farmers' Club on March 25. Nurserymen as well as fruit growers will be interested in "Raspberries," by L. C. Corbett, juat issued by the U. S. Department of Agriculture as Farmers' Bulletin No. 213. A SHIPMENT of 60,000 fruit trees from a Missouri nursery was recently held up at North Yakima, Wash., by the state inspector. The shipper was given the privilege of removing the stock from the state. H. E. Weed, landscape architect at CShicago, has sent out a circular offering his services as "consulting gardener and entomologist" to visit his clients' places periodically and "intelligently direct the work of his gardener." E. F. Crouse, of Paris, Tex., has boqght forty acres of land at Eoswell, N. M., and has ordered the stock for establishing a nursery. Mr. Crouse was fonlierly connected with the Texas Nur- sery Co., of Sherman. In Eddy county. New Mexico, a jury decided against the Stark Bros. Nursery Company in a suit brought to recover the sum of $3,500 which the company claimed was due to them for trees deliv- ered to F. G. Tracey in 1893. Mr. Tracey, while not denying that the trees were delivered to him, did claim that they were not what he ordered and not what the company represented them to be, and the jury gave him the verdict. CHASE BROS.' PLANS. Wm. Pitkin, of Chase Bros. & Co., Eochester, says: "We have sold our property on University avenue and have purchased nine acres of land in Brighton just west of the tracks of the Auburn branch of the New York Central rail- road. Here we shall erect two large buildings for packing. One of these will be 300x300, one story and basement, of block concrete or solid concrete. The other building will be of the same con- struction and 100x100. These buildings will give us 40,000 square feet of frost- proof storage and packing room. In ad- dition to this, we shall have a siding from the New York Central running into the buildings, giving us 400 feet of track on which to load and unload our stock under cover. "Then we intend to build an office building 60x100 feet in size, one story and basement. Our new plant will have a frontage of 600 feet on East avenue. We have been hampered by lack of room the past few years. We estimate that the buildings and equipment of the new plant will cost $50,000. We intend to begin grading in April and will begin the buildings in May so that we can have them completed in September." INDIANA NURSERY LAW. The legislature of the state of Indiana has just enacted a law intended to pre- vent the delivery of nursery stock not true to name. Here is the text of the act: Section 1. — Be It enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Indiana, that It shall be unlawful for any person, persons, firm or cor- poration, acting either as principal or agent, to sell to any person, persons, firm or corporation any fruit tree or fruit trees representing the same to be of a certain kind, variety and de- scription, and thereafter to deliver to such per- son in filling such order and in completing such sale a fruit tree or fruit trees of a different kind, variety or description of such fruit tree or fruit trees so ordered and sold. Sec. 2. — ^Any person violating any provision of this act shall be deemed guilty of mis- demeanor and upon conviction shall be fined in any sum not less than fifty ($50) dollars nor more than five hundred ($500) dollars. Sec. 3. — Prosecutions under this act may be commenced at any time within five years from the time of delivery of such fruit tree or fruit trees mentioned In Section 1. NURSERY IMPORTS. According to the United States De- partment of Agriculture, the imports of plants, trees, shrubs, vines, etc., in three years, with the countries from which consigned, were as follows: Country. 1901. 1002. 1903.

[An extract from a paper by Joseph Meehan. read under the general heading, "Our Horticul- tural Indebtedness to Japan," read before the Gormantown Horticultural Society March 13, 1905.] How very much we are indebted to Japan for many beautiful evergreens. For many years the Cryptomeria Japon- ica, the Cephalotaxus Fortunei, Abies polita, Pinus Korsensis and many other coniferous sorts have been familiar on our grounds. The cryptomeria exists in many a fine specimen about Philadel- phia, and the cephalotaxus is not rare. The Japanese holly, Ilex crenata, and its near relative, the Osmanthus aqui- folium, are quite hardy hereabouts and more of these two beauties should be seen. The use, beauty and utility of the many species and varieties of retino- sporas need hardly be referred to, so well are they known. The golden tinted ones, Retinospora pisifera aurea and Retinospora plumosa aurea, are particu- larly valuable because of their color. Whether it be winter or summer the golden color is pronounced and pleas- ing. Pisfera aurea is a less dense grow* er than the other, and for this reason for contrast sake both should be planted. Among evergreens of shrub-like char- acter, Japan has not been backward in supplying us. There are the many euonymuses, from the green-leaved Ja- ponicus to its gold and silver-leaved forms, the climbing one, radicans, and such larger growing sorts as Siebold- ianus. Then there is the Skimmia Ja- ponica, now a favorite with florists for winter decoration of windows; and all these are hardy. The little Andromeda Japonica and the Azalea amoena are also from that far off country. Vines were not to be mentioned in these notes, but I cannot refrain from noticing some of them, to show what we owe to that country. The Actinidia polygama, Bignonia grandiflora, Celastrus articulatus. Hy- drangea scandens, Jasminum nudiflorum, Lonicera brachypoda and Vitis hetero- phylla variegata, are among the number; and then there is Clematis paniculata and Dolichos Japonicus to add to the list. And what would we do without our Japanese wistarias, beautifying our dwellings in spring better than any- thing of like nature could do, and last- ly, and to end these notes^ let me call attention to the queen of all useful vines, the Ampelopsis Veitchii, which clothes our dwellings with its bright green leaves in summer and its bronzy red ones in autumn.

Three new members were elected. There was a fall- ing oft of exhibits, probably on account of everybody being too busy to trouble with them. F. E. Pierson was awarded a certificate of merit for Baby Rambler rose and L. A. Martin a similar award for an excellent vase of Antirrhinum majus. A very interesting and instruc- tive essay on spraying for San Jose scale was read by L. A. Martin. Quite a live- ly discussion ensued, the consensus of opinion being that unless some concerted action is taken to check this pest, few fruit trees will be left alive in the course of a few years. The secretary announced several lib- eral donations towards the prize fund of the November show, the prize list for which is nearly completed. F. E. Pier- son asked for the opinion of the mem- bers regarding the most suitable num- ber of carnations to be staged for tne cup he offers, his desire being to give the small growers a chance to compete as well as the larger growers. After the members had freely expressed their opin- ions,* Mr. Pierson decided to give the cup for seventy-five blooms, being twen- ty-five each of the three Lawsons, pink, white and variegated, instead of giving it for fifty blooms Variegated Lawson, as originally intended. Next month Prof. Powell will deliver a lecture on trees and roses. For thiS lecture the school trustees have kindly granted the society the use of the lecture room in the high school, which will allow of mak- ing the lecture open to the public. W. S.

Eeferring to his trouble as a result of drainage from gas getting into his water supply, B. P. Critchell, of Cincinnati, writes : "We have at last got over our trouble from the poisonous effects of the gas water. We lost two entire batches of cuttings from the effects of th^s poisoning, and do not know whether we have any chance to recover. Do not know whether it is the fault of the city sewer system, or the fault of the gas company in turning their gas water into an open creek, but we do know the ef- fects of it, which not only for a time killed the cuttings, but also affected all the growing stock, but at the present time the growing stock is recovering, and is now doing very well."

The Colorado Society of Floricultur- ists held its annual meeting in the rooms of the State Board of Horticulture in the state house in Denver, March 24. There was a large attendance and the enthusiasm displayed showed that the florists of the state are awakening to the value of such meetings. The papers read were: "The Propagation and Cul- ture of Roses under Glass," by J. A. Sked; "Colorado Soils," by Prof. Long- year, of the State Experiment Station; "Hardy Roses and their Usefulness for Various Phases of Gardening," by John Berry; "Dahlias: Past and Present," by "W. W. Wilmore. The discussions following these papers were very interesting, especially upon the manner of caring for hardy roses in winter, and the destruction of insect pests. The discussion concerning grow- ing Beauties a second year under glass brought out the fact that Bernhard Boldt had exceptional success in that line the past season. A vase of Beau- ties exhibited by Mr. Boldt grown from these two-year-old plants was a very fine let. There was a fine exhibit of carnations and roses. The Colfax Avenue Floral Co., N. A. Benson, Mrs. R. Mauff, E. E. Peterson, Bernhard Boldt and The Park Floral Co., all of Denver, and J. B. Braidwood, of Colorado Springs, were exhibitors. Two plants of Adiantum cnneatum and O'Briani attracted uni- versal attention. They were grown by Robert Kurth, foreman for The Colfax Avenue Floral Co., and were very hand- some specimens. A vase of Carnation Adonis staged by E. E. Peterson was good enough to travel in any company. The newly elected officers are: Presi- dent, J. A. Valentine, Denver; first vice-president, Wm. Hy. Evans, Colo- rado Springs; second vice-president, G. Fleischer, Pueblo; treasurer, R. S. Ma- han, Denver; secretary, N. A. Benson, 1352 South Sherman avenue, Denver. The by-laws were amended making florists' employees eligible to member- ship and changing the date of the an- nual meeting to the second Tuesday in February each year.

BUFFALO. Various Comment. Very wonderful days wc have Lad; 80 degrees in the shade, but it did not last long. Plenty of Howers and business not enough to clear them all up. That hot spell put everybody on edge. They were going to have a garden ri*jht off. Vases were ordered filled with })ansies, annuals sown, ' ' I want my sweet bays and hydrangeas sent home, ' ' and all sorts of spring o})erations were thought of. They have cooled off with the weather. The last of the Holland gentlemen called on us last week, Mr. Bartniann. His call is pleasant, for he takes with a smile and good humor your observation that you have already placul your order. We took a bob-tailed trolley ride to Williamsville recently to see the new establishment of Byrne Bros., whose houses are near the ''Falls" branch of the Lehigh Valley railroad. They have two houses, cacii 2(10 feet long, one twen- ty feet wide, the other thirty feet. The larger liouse is devoted to carnations, looking well, the other to Kaster stock for their store. These first-class liouses were erected bv the King Construction Co., of Tonawaiicla. They are light, strong and most excellently heated with hot water, using 2-inch pipes. (Considering the glass was not laid until October, tlie i)lace is in good order. This young firm has started right, building substantially, and they have plenty of room to extend. AVe availed ourselves of the ]>leasure of a call on Prof. Cowell yesterday with a few other florists. The sea breezes and the tro]>ical sun of Panama had browned him up. He traveled the canal zone from the Atlantic to the Pacific. He brought back several things new to him and |)er- haps new to the botanical world. Among them is a nephrolepis wiiich he says is a beauty, also a bronieliaceae. The pro- fessor has one of the l>est collections of these curious plants in this or any other country. He is not in love with the country and the mixture of Indian, neyro and Spanish has not resulted in jirodu;- ing the finest sj)ecimens of the genus homo. They may, the Professor says, Ijo better described as dark-skinned iioboes. But the canal will go through on an ocean level. He also brought a machete which looks like a good thing to prepare cab- bage for sanr kraut or to behead a rat. The spacious conservatory looks well and it is gratifying to see the Buffalo folks out in goodly nundK'rs to enjoy the curi- ous or admire. the Howers. W. S. Leb.WON, Pa. — C.

PITTSBUHG. The Market The market has been flooded with stock the past week. The bright weather has brought in probably the worst glut this city has ever seen. We are getting more home-grown stock every year and the increased number of wholesalers brings in an increased quantity from' the outside, and the market at a time like this cannot possibly make use of all the receipts. While trade is as good as it ever is at this season, and as much or more stock than ever used, it does not make an impression on the quantity coming in. Best Beauties are selling at $3 per dozen, tea roses and carnations at buyers' prices, and bu}bous stock you cannot give away. Trumpets and daffo- dils are in bloom in the gardens. Various Notes. Jos. Jordan, one of the old green- house men of this section, who has been supplying many of the retailers with ferns, died suddenly March 28. E. E. Allen, of Blairsville, died last Monday. Wm. Lauch, of Carrick, lost his barn by fire last Wednesday night. The horses and wagons were saved. Ed. McGrath, of Breitenstein & Flemm, is looking pleasant these days. It is a boy. Superintendent Wm. Hamilton, of the Allegheny parks, is preparing for the annual Easter flower display at the Phipps conservatory. Central park, and expects to have a larger and more beau- tiful display than usual, owing to the lateness of Easter. Tulips already are several inches above the ground and all bulbous flowers are expected to be in full bloom by April 20. The private conservatories of A. R. Peacock, Highland and Wellesley ave- nues, and H. C. Frick, Penn and Home- wood avenues, will be thrown open to the public on April 9. In the latter con- servatory there will be a large display of orchids. Justus Mulert, trustee in bankruptcy for Thomas M. Ulam, presented a peti- tion in the United States district court for the confirmation of the sale of the entire stock and fixtures of the store to William M. Turner, a florist at 809 Penn avenue, Wilkinsburg. Turner bought everything for $500 cash. The sale was confirmed. Hoo-Hoo.

Tlie Market Business the past week has been above the average. Grand opera brought a large number of visitors into the city, who patronized the flower shops liberal- ly- Stock is looking well, especially Beau- ties, for which good prices are received. Brides and Maids are coming in large quantities and are of good quality. Gates are not up to standard. Sunrise and Perle are hard to move. Carna- tions are nearly a drug on the market, although some very fine ones are to be seen. Violets are getting scarce and are bringing good prices. Bulbous stock is very slow, there being too large ship- ments for the demand. Lilies are going to be scarce by Easter and the growers are stifFoning on prices for good stock. Potted plants for the Easter trade are already on the market and, although Easter is quite a distance off, the stock is finding a ready sale. Various Notes. John Vesey is sending in some fine roses to the market these days and is well pleased with business. Jacob Tobler, Nelson Jarrett, Mrs. Biederman, A. Thornhill, John Vesey and A. Luther are in the market again with bedding stock and are getting tneir share of the trade. W. L. Bock has his window beauti- fully decorated with Easter novelties and is doing a rushing business. Several new street merchants have opened during the past week, getting ready for Easter trade, and are doing quite a business in a small way. Chas. M. Wise, of Twenty-sixth street and Holmes, reports business as satis- factory at his place. Ed. Ellsworth is showing some very fine rhododendrons and reports the wholesale business as all that can be desired. W. J. Barnes, out on Euclid avenue, reports business good and is booking many advance orders for Easter stuff. Arnold Eingier, representing W. W. Barnard & Co., Chicago, was here the past week. Narcissus. Rogers, O. — Lila Stokesberry adver- tised their place to be disposed of at pub- lic sale April 11 but has since disposed of a part of the place and the sale is off. Cheyenne, Wyo. — Charles F. Swayger, landscape gardener for the Union Pacific, has bought a piece of land and will erect several greenhouses and also establish a nursery. SOME GOOD THINGS "^S^i...

ELMIRA.N.Y. l>uring the past month trade has been rather dull and, with the exception of funeral work, there was nothing doing. The supply of roses, carnations and other stock has been in excess of the demand and in consequence prices have been low. The outlook for Easter in the way of supply is good, as roses promise to be a full crop and carnations from all ap- pearance will be plentiful. Lilies have in most cases turned out good, with a very small per cent of disease, Harrisii being particularly good. Bulbous stock of all kinds is very plentiful and of ex- cellent quality but the demand is poor as compared with former years. Violets are a full crop and of a high grade but, like other lines, they go slow. H. Hoflfman has been cutting some very fine carnations and violets and his prospects for Easter are excellent. Fred La France has also been having some fine cuts of carnations and has been doing an excellent trade in potted plants, such as lilies, cyelamens and cinerarias. M. Durand, of Rawson's, reports a fair trade and is looking forward to a good Easter, -having plenty of stock to meet all demands. The United States Cut Flower Co. is cutting large quantities of long-stemmed Beauties of the highest grade, which they are shipping to the larger cities of New York and Pennsylvania. They are also having a fine cut of teas and hybrid teas, which are in fair demand. Tneir crop of Harrisii is really fine and would compare favorably with anything in that line before we knew the disease. Carna- tions at this place are also fine and prom- ise a heavy cut for Easter time. Super- intendent Curran has moved into his new home on Lake street. Chas. F. Edgar, formerly of Philadelphia, has accepted a position with the United States Cut Flower Co. He has charge of the pack- ing and shipping department and has already made a host of friends. E. McKeespoet, Pa. — J. H. Orth, John Hodgson, J. M. Johnston and Charles T. Moore have taken steps to incorporate the McKeesport Floral Co. They pro- pose to build two houses 25x300 feet to grow roses and carnations.

U84 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ Ai'itiL 6, 1005. aNdNNATL The Market Warm spring weather still prevails, •with the temperature going as high as 80 degrees now and then. The effect on greenhouse stock is well known and can- not be passed over lightly. Stock of all kinds is being forced into bloom prema^ turely and the end is not in sight. Flow- ers that should have been cut for Easter are blooming now and many of the growers are becoming alarmed. Bulbous stock, especially, is coming in great quantities and it is hard to move it at any price. Perhaps the less said of business the better. The quantity of stock that is arriving is enormous. The wholesale houses are stacked full and there is scarcely room to move about. Prices are of the mid-summer variety. Carnations are being cut by the thousands and roses as well. Beauties, which have done so well, are now in oversupply. The price has been cut in two. Single violets are scarce but double ones are still with us in large lots. Outdoor jonquils are ar- riving by the thousands and sell at any old price. Sweet peas go fairly well. The green goods market is also af- fected, Smilax does best. Various Notes. The growers in the Flower Market are reaping a harvest now. The beautiful Saturday afternoons bring out thousands of buyers and they have the goods and sell cheap enough to tempt all comers. Potted plants of the standard varieties are selling especially well. Hardesty & Co. made up a bouquet of fresh vegetables last week which was not only unique but very appetizing. Julius Baer has been keeping up the high standard oi the window decorations at his new store and they are causing much comment. He reports bis business as very good. W. K, Partridge is displaying in his store windows vases of Brides, Maids, Gates, Ivory and Chatenay, all grown at his greenhouses, which are very fine. C. J. Ohmer.

I can get all the pipes warm in thirty minutes with one of your No. 13 Boilers, and it is easy firing." Qbant Newport, Cedar Rapids Iowa writes:— "I boueht a No 2 Boiler in 1902. Takes care of 7000 sq ft. of glass: would take care of 2000 more. I have had a oast-iron boiler, but it broke down twice in four years, alwavs in the roldest weather It broke down Dec. 29 1904, and X lost all my stock in conse- quence. I have now two No. 2 Kroescbell Boilers, and do not worry about their breaking down." Damm Bros.. Chicago, write :— " Bought a No. 12 Boiler in 1893. Only repairs In 12 years one set new tubes. Replaced four small boilers and saves tlOO.OO In coal each season." Carries 24,000 feet of glass ; 1000 feet more than our rating. Wm.

The cost of heating with this boiler is one-half less than it was with my cast-iron boilers. Your No. 8 Boiler, which we bought recently of you. is not being run to itn capacity." .:'/'' >■■■ VoLXV.

Not long ago a Chicago retailer, one whose store is in a residence street, was quoted as saying that last Easter ninety- five per cent of his sales were plants. If not an exaggeration, that is certainly an exceptional case but it cannot be de- nied" that the sale for flowering plants at both Christmas and Easter is increas- ing much faster than is the sale for cut flowers. Just before Christmas, when the rush was at its height, a peculiarity which marked the sales in one of the leading retail stores of the country impressed itself on the writer. The telephone de- manded almost constant attention and almost invariably the call was for roses or carnations. But out in the store the customer who had both the cut flowers and flowering plants on the counter for comparison in almost every instance chose the plants, even where the sales- man offered no encouragement. It was simply that the telephone buyer did not know about the plants; even when the telephone salesman tried to tell about them he could not convey a clear idea of what an aucuba or even a pan of poin- settias would look like when delivered. But the cut flowers I That was different. Everyone knows what a box of roses or carnations is like, and the telephone buyer ordered them. But the customer who saw the plants chose them nearly every time. One January day the following con- versation took place in the same store: "How much are the roses t" "These are $2 and these are $3 a dozen. ' ' "A dozen and a half of the shorter ones would do — ^but what a pretty plant! Is it a begonia?" "Begonia Gloire de Lorraine. We sell that size, with crepe paper to cover the pot, for $3. ' ' "How long will the flowers last?" "Oh! Three or four days; maybe a week; possibly more. We do not guar- antee it in any way.'' "That's not encouraging, still the roses wouldn't last beyond tomorrow. I believe I'll try the begonia as it doesn't cost any more than the roses. What did you call it. Glory ?" Easter the Plant Season. Easter is preSminently the plant sea- son, but it is not every retailer who can sell the magnificent specimens seen in the splendid stores in New York. Even in Chicago there is a limit to the cost and size of the plants which can oe sold. The other day Frank Oechslin, of the Garfield Park Flower Co., which supplies the majority of large plants to leading Chicago retailers, said that last year he had a lot of large and finely flowered azaleas which he wholesaled at $10 and $12 each, but the retailers who bought them in most cases had them left un- sold. This year Mt. Oechslin did not grow any azaleas to wholesale at above $8. The leading stores throughout the country, and particularly in New York, may sell a few of the beautiful Eam- blerg, rhododendrons, great pans of lil- ies and other plants frequently illus- trated in the pages of the Bevibw but the average reader is not able to supply himself with these plants if he would and could not sell them if he had them. Even in the best class of stores the sale for large plants is limited, by far the greater number of good-sized orders calling for arrangements of plants or cut flowers in hampers or baskets, of which so great a variety is now offered. The Florists' Requisites. While few novelties in the plant line are offered, the dealers in florists' sup- plies annually provide many unique things to help the retailers present their wares in attractive shape. There is a great variety in hampers, boxes and bas- kets, so great in fact that no store- keeper has use for more than a few of the really good things at his disposal. The raffia hamper and basket is no lon- ger a novelty; it has traveled the length and breadth of the land on its own mer- its. A last year's novelty which has come into general n&e this season is the twig basket in its many forms. Two of these shapes are shown in illustrations in this issue of the Review. The handled basket contains a zinc pan which will not leak and on the out- side the zinc is stained dark Lrown so that it will not show between the small twigs which compose the sides of the basket. In this case the basket held some daisies and sweet peas with a little green and stood on the sales counter of one of the leading stores, where few cus- tomers failed to speak of ^ its simplicity and grace. The other twig basket is round and low, with a cover. It con- tains a cocos, four primroses, three 3- inch adiantums and a dozen valley. Chicks and Ducklings. The same twig baskets are offered in many other shapes, including the form of birds ' hests, and to go with the birds ' nests, as well as for many other uses, thousands upon thousands of chicks and ducklings will be used. All wte supply houses report them selling rapidly and going to all parts of the country. Last year a few of these were used and made a hit in many an Easter plant arrange- ment and box of flowers. The use of such accessories as these is rapidly in- creasing. But no matter how many new or dif- ferent pot covers there may be, the .

Green is the best color. The matting is also used for ipany other purposes, usually tied with a silk cord or narrow ribbon. Crepe paper is the most largely used item in a retail florist's stock of sup- plies. It goes with everything, is in- expensive and its use on a plant always enhances the value far beyond the cost of the covering. It used to be the fash- ion to almost smother an azalea in crepe paper but that is no longer good form; only cover the pot and use only a nar- row ribbon or a cord for fastening. Of course Azalea mollis is an exception. Be- ing bare of foliage, its branches must be hidden and figured crepe paper is usual- ly used for this. The paper also comes plaited, waterproof, etc. Talip the Easter Flower. "While the lily has been given the name of Easter, judged from the stand- point of some of the florists in the less free spending communities, the tulip and the hyacinth are really the impor- tant flowers of the day. A florist with a prosperous store in a residence district neither rich nor poor said the other day that last Easter he sold four pans of bulbous stock for every other sale of plants. His experience was typical. He found the best size to contain about six good hyacinths or from six to a dozen and a half tulips, the pan obscured by This year the bulbous stock promises to be pretty well out of the running by Easter. But if tulips and hyacinths give out, there should be some lily of the valley available almost everywhere. Pans of this, appropriately decorated, are hard to beat for table centerpieces. Other Easter Subjects. Hydrangeas are among the best Eas- ter plants and this year, the season be- ing so late, some splendidly flowered specimens will be offered. Azaleas are with many too forward. In the east ericas are an important item but few are seen west of the Hudson. A novelty is the Baby Rambler rose, of which a few are seen. But it is pre- dicted for this that its greatest useful- ness will be at Christmas. A good Eas- ter plant and one not often seen is Prim- ula veris, the old English cowslip, made new by careful greenhouse cultivation. The plant illustrated in this issue is typi- cal but the picture was necessarily made some weeks before the plant was in- tended to be ready for sale. The tresses of lemon yellow flowers with their dark brown centers almost obscure the foliage when the plant is at its best. The flow- ers endure well and the plant is sure to take its place with the other primroses. Easter Cut Flowers. If the out-of-town florist finds that this late Easter is catching him short of stock, he can supply his needs in the Pan of Tulips in Porto Rican Mat Tied with Gauze Ribbon. the inevitable crepe paper or occasion- ally by a Porto Eican mat or a basket of raflSa. While several hundred lilies were sold, they went largely for church decorations, whereas the pans of bulbs went to the buyer's home and the sales were limited only by the amount of good stock to be had. great wholesale centers; there it is always possible to find something with which to do business. But the small sup- plies of flowering plants, the reduced stock of bulbous flowers, and the con- stantly increasing demand for flowers for Easter make it appear as though the wholesale grower of the staples, roses and carnations, would have a better sea- son than usual. There will be all the violets the retailers can use but quality will depend much on the weather for the two weeks preceding this latest of recent Easters. COLOR CAUTIONS. An utter disregard of the laws of color on the part of a large proportion of those in the trade leads not a few peo- ple to question whether these careless practices are due to a lack of taste in patrons or to the indifference of florists. There are artists among us — and let it be said to their everlasting credit — ^who could scarcely be hired to send out a basket of scarlet carnations tied with a lavender ribbon, and their number is in- creasing; but there are still those who cannot see -more dollars and cents in a floral design which would pass muster with a colorist. The whole blame can scarcely be sad- dled on the patronage, for, as a rule, they are people of a refined class. No- body knows classified color laws any more than he knows the alphabet by in- stinct. It is a matter of study, ex- perience and culture of the eye. While it is true that every designer must bo a law unto himself in minor details, it is due to the community in which he lives for a man who pretends to send out floral designs and decorations, to appro- priate such information as he may use from the great mass of literature on this subject. The knowledge of color is no secondary matter, even in the less pre- tentious establishments of the day and age. One must read, observe and experi- ment to obtain a practical knowledge of this science. Wlorks like the two fol- lowing may be had in almost any pub- lic library: Rood's "Text Book of Color," published by D. Appleton & Co.; "Color," by A. H. Church. But better than any text books are the color studies and combinations in any flower which may come under one's ob- servation. There are whole volumes in the coloring of a single pansy. Analyze its color composition ; count its tints and shades; find the connection which binds them all in one; trace some one color principle through the whole flower; ex- amine it through a magnifying glass or a microscope; figure out the proportion of different colors here so marvelously blended; make some observations and conclusions of your own. Don't forget these theories when you plan your next ^ design, and ten to one it will be a better ' one than the last. , After a few experiments and some study of your own, read a little, and you will come across some fact which you have previously discovered by your own efforts and your interest will increase. Search in flower and book to find out why scarlet and purple should not be used together, and why crimson and gold make a good combination. If your ideas about scarlet are rather vague, and crimson is only red to you, set a Jacqueminot rose against an America or Crane carnation and try to figure out the difference. Here and there in the Jacqueminot rose you will find traces of blue mixed with the red, which makes purple, which being toned down with more red than blue makes crimson, the color of the Jacqueminot. In the carnations named there is no trace of blue, but in their intense, orilliant color the red is lightened by yellow or orange in its composition. That is scarlet. ■■rKy^-y'yr^''r^^._^-ry^i^~ritX''-":,^< ■■'■X'^-:^ ; •'"■ April 13, 190S. The Weekly Florists^ Review. 1217 Lilium Harrisii, the Typical Flower of the Florists' Harvest Season. By placing the scarlet carnation against the crimson rose, the color of the rose is actually dulled and almost deadened, "killed" as the common ex- pression has it. By comparisons of this kind it will become easier to avoid such combinations as bronze galax leaves and violets; pinks and blues, unless the blue be very dark and the pink light; pink and bright yellow; very dark blackish red with white; dark red or crimson with violet or purple; searlet and pink; but rather you will select grey with vio- let, or white and grey; crimson and light pink. Grey as found in Florida moss, dusty miller leaves, carnation foliage, and birch bark combines well with vio- let, scarlet or light pink, as found re- spectively in violets, and purple hya- cinths, brilliant red carnations or sal- vias, Bridesmaid roses or Enchantress carnations. For, a change try tyiiig funeral sprays with material to match the foliage or harmomze with it, as well as with the flower. Tind suggestions for coloring on the under side of leaves and stems. Bind a double bunch of Enchantress or Lawson carnations with a simple band of birch bark three or four inches wide, or a wisp of Florida moss. In arranging funeral sprays of two colors, do not lay down a flower of one color and then one of another in turn. Make blotches and streaks of color. Run one color into another in thin lines. This will blend the two. The first method, of one and another, makes a patchy piece. Upon being compelled to use colors to- gether which you dislike, it is often possible to tone down one color by lay- ing delicate green foliage over it, such as adiantum or asparagus. Separate the fighting colors at opposite ends or sides of the cluster or design. A little used combination is crimson and gold. Make this by combining Me- teor or Liberty roses with Narcissus in- comparabilis or some of the light colored single varieties. . A vase or basket of different varieties of narcissi is attractive and salable. Grade the color from the brilliant yellow of the Von Sion into the jonquil yellow and from that through the soft single varieties of incomparabilis, poeticus and Paper "White. Freesia, white and yellow tulips and narcissi are pleasing, as is a cluster of blue or white Dutch hyacinths with a band of yellow pansies over the stem end of the bunch. Avoid the brilliant but not the dark somber colors for funerals. Scarcely enough distinction is made in common practice between blues and purples. The one difference between these colors is that the latter have red in their make- up, which the blues lack. In window and store displays of plants which are now baing made, of cinerarias, for instance, be careful to separate the purplish reds from the blues. Each will show to bet- ter advantage alone. Separate by plac- ing one group at the front of the win- dow or display space and the other at the back. Ferns or the foliage plants or some white flower in bloom will serve as a partition between these fighters. Nowadays we are having blue pansies and blue Dutch hyacinths which, with white, are appropriate for a funeral piece, and a change from the all win- ter's pink and white repetitions. Avoid yellow with cinerarias and cycla- mens except when the former are a pure blue, and if any yellow is introduced with the blue cineraria let it be of a mild type, as is seen in the light narcissi, or Perle roses. Narcissus poeticus or Chinese lilies. Cyclamens, with their purplish pinks and reds, should be kept at a respectful distance from such a pink as is seen in Azalea Vervseneana. Treat the primulas the same way. Gertrude Blaik. GEN. PALMER'S MUNIFICENCE. John Berry has left the Park Floral Co., Denver, after having been with it continuously for about seven years. He has been in charge of the outdoor work in the landscape line, and now goes to accept a position as superintendent of Monument park, at Colorado Springs. This is a park which is being made from an unsightly strip of ground in the center of Colorado Springs, includ- ing Monument Creek and its banks, and is the property of General Wm. J. Pal- mer, one of the founders of Colorado Springs and one of its wealthiest citi- zens. He is spending a great many thousands of dollars in the improvement of this particular piece of ground, with the intention of deeding it to the city when it has been transformed into a park. The General's home at Glen Eyrie, about five miles from Colorado Springs, is probably the most beautiful mountain home in Colorado. A new residence has just been completed there at an ex- pense of about $400,000. The landscape work there has been carried out strictly in accordance with the ideas of Gen. Palmer himself. He absolutely insists that no native shrub or flower of any description shall be destroyed to make room for artificial planting. He has in- sisted that nature shall be assisted, but that the natural beauty shall never be destroyed. He seems willing to spend thousands of dollars to carry out his own peculiar ideas, and this is well il- lustrated when it is said that in building the new house at Glen Eyrie the rock was quarried from the canon walls, but only so much of it was taken as had a natural exposure to the weather and was covered with moss and lichens. The rules strictly forbade rolling or sliding these down the slope, but every piece was carefully carried down in the hands of the workmen and laid in the walls of the house, so that the walls now present a moss-covered appearance as if the house had been there for cen- turies. A tunnel has been constructed sloping upward through the mountain to a point perhaps 500 feet above the house, and through this all smoke, all the odors from the kitchen, and even the dust from the patent sweeping machines are carried to the top of the mountain where they give no annoyance. The work is by all odds the most con- scientious and the most expensive piece of work of I its kind which has ever /' 1218 , 't;." jisi: r-i -^' . -Trv ,: The Weekly Florists' Review* Apbil 18, 1906. been undertaken in this state, and Gen- eral Palmer is one of the very broad- minded men who has spent his money without stint to promote the interest of the state and to beautify Colorado Springs and the country adjacent. Monument park, mentioned above, is but one of his gifts to Colorado Springs. There is another very rough and at present barren tract of ground two or three miles north of the city which the General is beautifying and convert- ing into a park of a more rugged na- ture, confining his planting there to such things as are native and will thrive without irrigation. This is also destined to go ultimately by deed to Colorado Springs when the work is completed. L MISCELLANEOUS SEASONABLE HINTS. Easter and Its History. It is good for the exercise of thought and management by the florists that Easter occurs on a movable date. It may be accompanied by warm, balmy spring, and then again sleet, snow and frigi(£ty may be its handmaiden. Just a word about this great Christian fes- tival, the central event in the Christian church. A thousand years before the Qiristian era began the ancient Jews commemorated Easter as the advent of spring, and the pagan Gauls and bar- barians of central Europe held their spring festival. The Easter egg of the Germans is a relic of the distant past. The early Christians of different denom- inations held bitter controversies as to what date to fix certain events. At last, about the fourth century, it was de- cided that the moon should settle it. Like all scriptural dates, i&aster is leg- endary, uncertain and mythical. But let us be thankful that it has come down to us, for it is as necessary as the sun- shine that we should have times of re- laxation and rest. Aside from some pious souls, Easter is chiefly looked for- ward to for the advent of new suits and dainty bonnets. Tor a number of years our particular business has been enor- mously benefited by the present lauda- ble fashion of sending plants and flow- ers to friends. Christmas is a busy time with us, but I think it does not ap- proach Easter in volume of business. Change in Easter Demand. Some twenty-five years ago church decorations were our leading Easter business. Not only did the "conunit- tee on decorations" give the order to a florist for the whole job, but elab- orate designs were sent by members of the congregation as memorials of friends gone before. All this ia altered, and there is noticing to regret on the part of the florist. Plants and flowers are sent to the churches by individuals, and the ladies arrange them. But it will be admitted by all that the great bulk of our Easter business is now the exchange of Easter greetings and good wishes, which take the form of a pretty plant or a box of flowers. When we decorated churches, the gift, instead of a plant, was a card. The card is gone and the plants and flowers are king; long may they reign. There is a difference in the way some of us do business. There is the strictly store man, the man who has a store with houses at his back, and also the man who does all the business in his houses. It seems to me there is no time in all the year when system is so neces- sary as in the week preceding Easter: Above all, practice that old adage, "Leave nothing for tomorrow that can be done today," for as the week ad- vances tomorrow will bring more work than you can crowd into it. The Value of Space. The retail storekeeper will be fear- fully crowded, and his window, his best advertisement, should be a bower of beauty. Keep no unsightly or unsala- ble plant visible. Every plant should be on dress parade, and in large stores, where there may be $1,000 worth of plants at one time, it pays to assign one intelligent young man to their care. Too many retail salesmen have not the feel- ing of a gardener in their make-up, and it does not make them weep to see an azalea, spireea or rose drooping its wings for want of a drink. Many of our Easter plants have been forced. Others are a mass of roots, and they are in no condition to stand neglect. Every plant lost is the profit gone on two similar ones sold. The florist with the salesroom attached to his houses is sure to be'iemoved from the city's throng, but he kafi a great advantage in handling his plants, for he can keep an assortment of his offerings dressed and fixed up in his salesroom and plenty of reserve in his houses. And if you have no salesroom at all, but merely your greenhouses, then de- vote one house or part of a house to your chief display. _ . ^ /^ ^ . Embellishlne the Plants. There may be a difference of opin- ion how far it is good taste to decorate a plant with ribbons. As mentioned above, the great majority of our Easter sales go to a friend of the purchaser, and first impressions are everything. So if you can add a dollar to the price of a plant by using 50 cents' worth of ribbon, by all means do it. Perhaps, from an artist's eye, or the best taste, • a ribbon cannot add to the beauty of a plant. A white or pink ribbon tied on our native hawthome in the woods would certainly be no embellishment, but our plants are artificially grown, often arti- ficially tied and shaped, and therefore there is nothing of bad taste to further add the artificial. While on this subject, let me say that it is not fair or right for the whole- sale grower to send to the city store- keeper a lot of plants with dirty pots. They should be washed. The grower has every facility to do this, and the storekeeper has not. How we have al- tered in our way of sending out our products ! The bills for flower boxes and fine paper of many kinds now form a big item of expense, but every other retail business does the same, and the man who thinks he can save on these items and does not keep up with re- Twig Basket with Daisies, Sweet Peas and Asparagus.

But a few years ago a piece of wrap- ping paper around the pot was all- sufficient, and off went the plant. Now- adays, not only at Easter but every day of the year, the simplest plant, let it be only a hyacinth or a primrose, must have some colored tissue paper around the pot and tied with baby ribbon, and for larger or more expensive plants a more elaborate covering of the plebian pot is an essential. Take, for instance, a 10-inch pan of hyacinths. Silk paper, or the crepe, tied around the pan taste- fully has cost little, but to the eye of the customer it added wonderfully, and you can get well paid for your trouble. Anyway, it is now demanded. Make Early Preparation. Put nothing oflf for tomorrow. You can't make purchasers come to your place until they feel like it, and it seems to me our customers, at any rate the most of them, delay the buying of their plants until the rush of Friday and Saturday, The better you are prepared for this rush, the fewer mistakes will occur, and delays in delivering, whicli is 60 important a part of our Easter labor. You always have to call in extra help to wait on customers, and it is an excellent plan to have all your plants plainly marked with the price of each. This may not be necessary with all your plants — lilies, for instance — but with azaleas, Eambler roses and others it is necessary, and a great convenience to all parties. Flower boxes are wanted every day, and by the hundreds on Saturday night. There is no excuse for not having hun- dreds put together and put in some dry, clean place, waiting your demand. There is no excuse for the greenhouse man who does not wash the pots of all plants that are likely to sell at Easter time, and if he should brighten up a few hun- dred that did not sell he will be for- given. And if any plant, such as a lily, wants a stake and tie, do it at once and do not wait until you are driven off your legs. • The Value of System. Now, I can't help repeating what I have often said before, and that is, have some system, and stick to it, with re- gard to getting off your orders. Our experience is that on the Thursday, Fri- day and Saturday before Easter we are kept busy waiting on customers and sending out the deliveries of the previ- ous day, and business that demands im- mediate attention. And the wrapping, tying up and addressing is done after the doors are locked. A few men undis- turbed can do a lot of that work and do ii coolly and correctly. What a pleasure it would be if a customer selected a plant, paid for it and took it along with him — or, mostly, her. No such luck! Our best customers drive up, select an azalea and perhaps a Crimson Rambler, niid then it begins: "Send the azalea 1(1 Mrs. Roosevelt, with Mrs. Booker Washington's card, and send the rose to Judge Dunne with my card." Now, such orders are likely to end in a mix- tip of cards, where perhaps one person will leave an order for a dozen plants, each one going to a different person, and perhaps some little greeting written on each card. The cards are filed, and all we can do at the time is to put the plants away on a space devoted to Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday delivery, and each plant tagged with the name of the purchaser. Of course the salesman has taken an accurate item of the order and that is filed away with, say, Saturday's delivery, which will be wrapped and all ready for delivery on Friday night. When the boss comes to the order Friday night he knows who took the order and the cards and addresses, and the order is handed to the man who made the sale, and there is no excuse for there being a mistake. The order is brought back as executed, and filed away. You may have a better system, evolved from your own experience, but do have a system of some kind, and adhere to it. You can stand a lot of work and short hours in bed if all goes pleasantly, but a few call-downs over the' telephone and grumbling at mis- takes will wreck your nervous system far more than hard work. Holiday Delivery. The delivery is a most important part of the whole business, and every en- deavor should be made to get your sales to their destination on the day prom- ised, and in good order. A man who knows the city well should be entrusted with the job of "routing" the loads. It does not pay to drive two miles in one direction and then three miles in another. Let each load contain deliv- eries for a certain section, and for no other, and don't wait for too big a load. I have seen a wagon kept an hour waiting for a few more plants, when half the load could have been delivered and the team back again, much to the bene- fit of . the plants. Hampers of Plants. Except in our very large cities, the combination plant baskets are not in great demand, but it is well to have a few made up. If they sell, more can soon be fixed up. Azaleas, heaths, lilies, hyacinths, Primula obconiea, genista and a liberal mixture of ferns are all good plants for baskets, and your taste must guide the arrangement. How fortunate for many of us that it is lovely flowers we handle, for with all the crudeness and poor taste of many of us, it is diffi- cult to arrange a basket that is really ugly. It is impossible to foretell what will be in most demand at Easter. At pres- ent it seems the lily will be plentiful. Azaleas have almost ,been the leading Easter plant for several years, and they are not so plentiful on account of the U20 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Apbil 13, 1900. late date and plenty of fine, bright vreather. As a decorative plant, the Boston fern or Piersoni or Scottii is sure to lead over palms, pandanuses, dracaenas or rubbers. The public has learned what glorious house plants these nephrolepises are, and you should be well supplied with fine, moderate-sized plants. A great many cut lilies are sold at Easter for differ- ent purposes, and if you have any that you think will not keep until Easter Sunday, cut them and put the stems in water in a cool, dark place. They will keep longer than on the plants. It seems almost impossible to expect cold weather, but there is no certainty of anything. For a warm, calm, if not bright day, let us fervently hope. William Scott. CREDIT WHERE DUE. Some men seem never ready to give credit where credit is due. And this seems particularly true with regard to the grower in his relations with his com- mission man. A great many growers seem disposed to regard the commission house as a necessary evil instead of as one of the greatest factors in building up the cut flower industry to the huge proportions it has now attained. Two growers near Chicago were over- heard, the other day, discussing their ex- periences with commission men. One of them ships to BJank, and this was a scrap of the conversation: "Every few days Blank's boy comes chasing out to my place along in the afternoon and wants a thousand carna- tions. ' ' "And do you let him have them?" "Yea-s-s," slowly, as if doubtful of the propriety of his action. Great Jehoshophat! Does he let him have themt Doesn't he know that if, at any time in the last month. Blank hap- pened to be sold out when a late order came in, all he had to do was to run into Smith's next door and get what he wanted at a price which would, to say the least, pay him commission t Doesn't he think hard enough to realize that Blank is going to considerable trouble purely for the good of the grower? Did it never occur to him that Blank had an order and wanted his grower to have the advantage of it, not knowing what he could do with the stock when it came into the house with all the other consignments of the next morning? Fortunate is the grower, in these days of large production and job lot sales of the surplus, who is located where his com- mission man can get at him in case of a call at the close of the day's busi- ness. It is quite a common thing for Chi- cago wholesalers, and those of other cities, to send to the greenhouses when- ever possible, instead of buying of each other, as they used to do in the days when the supply was no greater than the legitimate demand. Is it a favor to let them have the stock? Well, hardly! The shoe is on the other foot. TOEONTO, Ont. — J. H. Dunlop is build- ing three houses 25x240 and rebuilding several others.

Wllmore, read before the Ckjiorado Society of Floriculturists at Den- ver, March 24, 190S.] History of the Dahlia. This most useful and popular flower, the dahlia, derives its name from the Swedish botanist. Dr. Dahl, but for a time was also known under the name of georgina, after Prof. George, of St. Petersburg. Its earliest known history is not yet very old. About the year 1657 Francisco Hernandez, a Spanish* physician, wrote a book on plants, and among the plants described he mentions Dahlia variabilis, the species from which most, if not all, of our present varieties have originated. At that time it is probable that it was only known as one of the great multitude of botanical plants, without much, if any, thought of its future usefulness, for we find nothing further in print for 130 years. It is quite probable, however, that some effort was made to improve and domesticate the plant toward the close of the eighteenth century, for in 1787 a Frenchman published an account of the dahlias he had seen growing in gardens in Mexico. Two years later, 1789, seeds were sent from the Botanic Gardens of Mexico to the Eoyal Gar- dens at Madrid, Spain, where it was given its present name. This lot of seed- lings was lost two years later, as were several other lots sent to various places. But their stay, though brief, awakened a deep interest in the plant and its pos- sibilities, and further attempts at its cultivation were now made in several Eu- ropean countries and it soon became quite popular. The work bestowed upon it, however, seems to have been more in the nature of a fad rather than intelli- gent study. Difficulty seems to have been encountered also in knowing how to keep the roots over to the next sea- son. It should be borne in mind that up to this time all the varieties were single, the variegated and striped varieties lead- ing in popular favor. _The history of the first double forms is told as follows: M. Donkelaar, of Louvain, began a series of experiments with northern-grown seed in 1812. His first crop of seedlings was still quite single, but seed saved from these gave him some semi-double flowers in 1813, and seed saved from these again gave fully double flowers in 1814, the third generation of the northern-grown seed. These varieties continued to produce double flowers and the dahlia now be- came immensely popular. The question naturally arises here: Why should northem-^rown seed produce double flowers? A theory gives this answer: Nature, always alert to per- petuate itself, throws out extra petals to protect the tender seeds from the chill of the northern atmosphere. Be this true or not, certain it is that double va- rieties show a decided tendency in warm climates to become semi-double and sin- gle varieties in the north are hard to keep in true form. Is of Easy Culture. The dahlia possesses a happy, easy- going disposition and seems to be at home in almost every country, location and soil. I have customers variously situated from a few feet above sea level to an altitude of 8,500 feet, some on White Azalea Niobe with Li^ht Green Porto Rican Mat.

The Weekly Florists' Review* I22J clear sand, some on loam and some on the heaviest of clay; yet all give flat- tering reports of success, ;put for con- venience in cultivation and digging, a light soil is preferable. I might also say that the daMia is a favorite among all people of all countries, and I know of no reason why it should not be. Its easy culture, varied forms, aJmost boundless range of color and the wealth of bloom at a season when most needed, should appeal strongly to both amateur and professional. The dahlia, if properly treated, will begin to bloom in this latitude in about seventy-five days from date of planting dormant tubers. They may be had much earlier, of course, if started under glass, but if this method is employed, great care should be 'exercised to keep the plants free from red spider, as it is almost impossible to rid the plants of them when once infested. I have always preferred planting direct to the open ground, and usually count on two and one-half to three months of bloom, which is ample to repay all labor and space given. As this audience is not one of ama- teurs it will not be necessary for me to go into details of cultivation, manure, water, etc., further than to say that dahlias may be grown much closer than generally practiced; that they require less manure than generally supposed; that they will stand a great deal more cultivation than generally given, and should be watered as often as they need it, and not otherwise. Florists' Varieties. As to varieties for florists ' use, , I would say that a few varieties are pref- erable to many, and these should be clear, bright, self-colored flowers, though not necessarily deep colors; but should be selected to conform to the popular color tastes of the day. I would say that six to eight good varieties would meet the requirements of the cut flower trade, say red, scarlet, yellow, two shades of pink, and two white, one large and one small for design work. The latter aeed not have a long stem, but the jthers should have stems from twelve to jighteen inches in length, and as much longer as they may be had. But it should not be forgotten that the dahlia has other uses beside the funeral wreath and the house decoration. The park, cemetery and private grounds consume an immense number, far greater than does the cut flower trade. Here the lines as to color and stem are not so critically drawn. Many of the short- er-stemmed varieties, variegated colors and neutral shades may be profitably used here. The Cactus Daiilia. The show and fancy types, so popular a generation ago, seem to have reached the limit of their possibilities. It is the cactus and decorative varieties, but more especiallv the cactus, which has caused the present popular favor, and yet it is plainly evident that the show and fancy types will still hold their places for many years to come. There is a real worth back of them not yet found in some of the new varieties even though popular. The first cactus dahlia originated in 1872, but was not placed upon the mar- ket until 1880. It seems to have been a chance seedling, but may be a sep- Azalea Mollis with Pot C)vering of Figured G-epe Paper. arate species. The original specimen was a bright scarlet of fine form but very short stem, but was nevertheless a very welcome addition, and I adopted it as the central figure of my trade mark. It was introduced under the name of Juarezi, after Pres. Juarez, of Mexico, and is still listed in some of the cata- logues. From this chance plant there has descended a mighty troop that has held the center of the dahlia stage for the past twenty years, and the type is still showing marked improvement each year. Where it will end no one can say. The type embraces all the colors of the other types, in size from a small pompon to a diameter of seven inches, some with petals as narrow as a blade of grass, giving the flower more the appearance of a chrysanthemum than a dahlia. At first the type was deficient in stems, they being either short and •tiff or thin and weakly, but in recent years much improvement has been made, and there are a goodly number now with fine stems, twelve to eighteen inches long, which hold the flower quite erect. And while the stem is under discussion, let me say that some ot the weak-stemmed varieties, while use- less as a cut flower, are yet very valua- ble for garden plants. The drooping stem permits the flower to swing free of the plant, and when combined with the dark green foliage presents a pic- ture of wonderful grace not seen in the more erect-growing plants. For cutting purposes I cannot say that the cactus dahlias are at present a suc- cess, taking them as a whole, although there are some varieties that are simply grand, but speaking of them as a class they have a tendency to wilt too quickly, excepting in the late fall, when the flow- ers develop slowly; then nearly all the varieties are good. Neither are the single varieties in favor as cut flowers. They stand up well, but drop their petals too soon. I make an exception, how- ever, of Twentieth Century, which is as remarkable for keeping as it is in other respects. This one is decidedly the best of the singles in general use. Too Many Varieties. A question of much importance to both amateur and professional is the selection of varieties. Were there but a few dozen to select from it would not be difficult, but such is not the case, and a serious fault lies at the door of the commercial grower who holds with one v'^r-h?;. 1222 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Apbil 18, 1905. hand to the old varieties and reaches with the other for the new ones, with the result that the prospective purchaser is bewildered with a possible selection of 1,500 varieties, all claimed to be good. One European grower who sends me his 1905 list, names 697 varieties; another 676. In the latter list I find 326 cactus varieties, and of these 135 are some shade of red. Surely it cannot be claimed that all these varieties are necessary. Surely among the 135 reds there must be some that are very in- ferior to others; and if inferior, why not discard them and shorten the listf I venture the opinion that if thirty-five of the best reds were taken out, the remaining 100 would be a rather in- ferior looking lot. Years ago I rec- ommended, through the trade press, cut- ting down the list, but without result. In the past twenty years I have tested fully 1,000 named varieties, but now have less than 200 and my list is still too long and I am ready to shorten it just as soon as the public quits calling for back numbers. A very large pro- portion of the commercial dahlias of to- day are to the up-to-date grower just what the Lizzie McGowan and Portia carnations would be to the up-to-date carnation grower. As a rule I think the purchaser, unless he is fjimiliar with the varieties, will do well to , leave the selection to the grow- er, simply naming the colors wanted and stating the use to which they are to be put. If the grower or dealer is honest and all dahlia growers are supposed to be, he will do his best to please. The dahlia has always been notorious for sportive habits, and many and cu- rious are the freaks to be seen. This is not only true of variegated varieties, but often appearing among varieties supposed to be quite staid and fixed in their colors. Some of the fancy varie- ties are very popular because of this wide variance in color, which keeps the grower guessing what is coming next. But while sports are common as stated above, yet all attempts to fix a sport into a new variety have been fruitless, for sooner or later they return to the parent color. IS OUR TRADE NOT AHRACTIVE ? GOOD FLORISTS ARE SCARCE. It is evident to any observer that boys who might make valuable green- house help are more and more shunning the business, and young men who have a general knowledge and experience with the stock usually found in a place of from 20,000 to 50,000 square feet of glass are very scarce. The business having largely evolved into the hands of specialists is partly accountable for this, but not entirely. Write to a large rose or carnation or perhaps palm grower for a man well up in these spe- cialties and you will most likely be ac- commodated, but look for a young man to take charge of 30,000 feet of glass and direct all departments of a general plant and cut flower trade, and you will look a long while in vain. Division of labor we know is the order of the day, and it is the most up- to-date and economical method of pro- duction, but I dislike to think of our business as a mechanical one. In the growing the mechanical is a small part compared to the mental. The vast ma- jority of the men who are employed making up designs, such as wreaths, crosses and pillows, are simply mechan- ics. Ninety-nine out of every hundred are merely copyists, and their handi- work, when finished, has a very mechan- ical look* Not so with the good grower, the lover of his plants and their wel- fare. Think what little mechanical labor enters into the life of our plants, no matter whether it is a lily, a rose or a house of forcing grapes. The lily bulb is put into the soil in a very few seconds. That is truly a mechanical operation. Then come six months of care, ventilation, temperature, water, fight- ing insects, condition of plant relative to prospective market, and other points. These are all mental, and make the real gardener's calling a profession. Decline of Specialization. The medical profession has run to special lines of practice very much of late until it is overdone, and young "M. D. 's, " for fear of starving, are going back to general practice, and pro- fess to be specialists on anything, from curing "housemaid's knee" (a specific disease in Europe) to putting in metal- lic windpipes. It is doubtless true that with contin- ual practice and undivided care a man must become very proficient at his spe- cialty, but you have all noticed in our business that when a man was very suc- cessful with any one plant, if he turned his attention to another, he met with the same success. Call to mind some of the growers who supply the markets of Philadelphia, New York and Boston. It is not one species of plant they turn out so perfect, but all they handle are near perfection, and all guided by one brain. Gardeners, not merely special- ists, reign over these establishments. In Europe the ambition of the young gardener who travels from place to place in search of knowledge and experience is to obtain the position of head gar- dener at some extensive private estab- lishment, a good restful life; but un- less you could look for advancement or free scope to improve the garden, build modern houses or experiment with lat- est introductions, it would be a life of sameness, and some minds would as likely decay as advance in such a posi- tion. It is worth mentioning that these po- sitions are very much more numerous in this country than they were thirty years ago, and are daily coming into existence. A marvelous change has come over the country in a few short years, especially in the east. Our mil- lionaires must have fine country seats. It is the proper thing to do, and if they do not inherit a taste for fine garden- ing, they are not fools by a very large majority, and they know that ability for any purpose demands good pay. Then, again, the numberless parks, large and small, that are being formed in our cities of all sizes call for men of liberal gardening education. So it seems for a long future that the de- mand for good all-round gardeners will be, far in excess of the supply. This is optimistic, yet I feel sure will be true. Let us return to our theme. It is the commercial business that affords the brightest opening to our young men. When employed by another, they should look forward to the time when they will have a place of their own, and when they are possessors of a few houses they will be dreanung of building more houses, improving and branching out to an unknown end. This dreaming is es- sentially right. It is the most pleasant part of life. Dreaming is followed by ambition, and what would the world be without ambition? Hope sprlnsH eternal In the liiiman breast.

Time was when boys, after graduat- ing from our grammar schools, asked for work in our greenhouses. They were not set to wheeling coal and throwing out ashes, but carrying away flats of plants and taught to set them on the bench straight and level. If they had any aptitude for the business they grad- ually acquired the mechanical parts of the business, and if they drew your at- tention to some plants wanting water or a house needing ventilation and, above all, if they were endowed with the divine attribute of order, then they made gardeners, and with sincere joy and gratitude we ^n point to several young men now in business or holding good positions whom your humble serv- ant first taught" to set a plant level or handle the hose. Why we have few or none of this kind now I know not. Is it because the youths of today want to wear good clothes and not dirty their hands, or is it because they see no money in the job? If the latter, it is a mistake, for I claim that any bright young man who can take charge of three or four houses, without expecting to know everything, will command as good, if not better, wages than the ordinary mechanic, and far better wages than the ordinary well- dressed clerk or salesman in most mer- cantile businesses. As for social standing, that depends entirely on the individual himself. Of course ability has everything to do with wages and advancement, as in every other business, but in few as much as in ours. A builder can tell in five min- utes whether a man is a carpenter, or bricklayer, or painter. "We cam tell whether a man can shift a plant neatly and quickly, but that is a small part of it. The same man may let a house of plants burn up or shrivel for want of water. A man or boy who wUl pass an azalea with its flowers drooping and dying for want of water with indiffer- ence or without wincing with pain will never be a gardener worth his salt, and should at once enter the ministry. Our fine flower store clerks or shop- men are mostly evolved from the errand boy, and a very good way it is. From delivering parcels they get a new suit, are larger in stature, and assist behind the counter, and in time, if their abil- ity keeps pace with their ambition, they are known as Messrs. Jones & Bro. 's artist. You can easily get lads for er- rand boys, and young men as assist- ants in the store, because the latter is more "genteel" than working among the plants, but I doubt if there is as much chance for promotion or an equal opportunity to gain a lucrative and in- dependent position. A Word to Employers. Perhaps the shyness of lads to work in our houses is a good deal the em- ployer's own fault. There is no need of making a drudge of a young boy. It breaks his heart, figaratively speaking. Praise good work as well as correct that which is slovenly. Alas! we are not all alike, nor any two alike, and you cannot put brains into a boy if they were not a birthday gift; but this gift, much or little, can be cultivated and encouraged. This, however, is too big and deep a phase of the subject. You never saw a really great gar- dener or horticulturist who was not lib- erally endowed with brains. He could HHI ■ f ■i iP ^^^^p^?w WS^^ _jiji > ^ ^^^^^^^^Bl^ k Jfl IB^I ■^. ^-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^I $^ J ■ w ' ii^^^^^H 1 MI^:''^. ^^^^H|' ...

There is room for many young men at good wages who can handle plants dex- terously and diligently, even if some- body else has to do the thinking for them. You may ask what induced W. S. to write this screed. It is because I have noticed at home, and heard from those who travel, how scarce are good green- house men, and if boys had been tak- ing hold of the business the past ten years this would not be the case. We have noticed of late a lot of old laborers in a greenhouse — good, worthy men with the hoe and spade and the rake — but as much out of place in a greenhouse as the powerful bull in a china shop. Young boys, there is a bright opportunity for you in horti- culture, especially in this country. It is only in its infancy as yet. The meas- ure of your success will be in propor- tion to your diligence, application and intelligence. For one you may meet with who does not know when he has a good man, there are ten who do, and who will pay you all that you are worth. And, employer, study. Study the youthful, plastic mind. Teach and en- courage and show him with your own hands how things ought to be done, and if there is any good at all in the boy he will bless you in years to come.

The Demands We Make. - _' We ask but little of our greenhouse gardener, compared with the all-round gardener of fifty years ago. A man competent to take charge of a fine pri- vate garden in Great Britain would be expected to be well versed in a wide field of horticulture, and many a worthy man we can call to mind, and some with reverence, who were landscape gar- deners of a high order, grew all kinds of hardy fruits and every culinary vege- table, forced exotic fruits of many kinds, as well as grapes, pineapples, peaches, nectarines and strawberries under glass, grew all the species of palms then known, as well as most of the economic plants, kept the conserva- tories gay- the year round with flow- ers, acres in the flower garden, and add to this a so-called American garden, a hardy fernery, a tropical one, houses de- voted to ericas, another to camellias and cool house plants, another to the Vic- toria Regia and other aquatics, and a hundred other features" that converted fifty acres into a paradise. All this a head gardener was supposed to be, and in many cases was, master of. We don't ask the modern gardener to know all <'.-'■* ■■'. ;v' ''*•,':' 1224 The Weekly Florists' Review^ Apbil 13, 1905. this, and we don't ask our greenhouse manager to know one-tenth of it. We only ask studious, up-to-date knowledge and practice of how to handle the plants wanted in our business, and it seems at present as if few had any inclination to learn that little. I am not pessimistic; quite the re- verse! I am no believer in "the good old times." No time in the world's history was as good as the present, and in a hundred years hence it will be better still. It must be, as any one can learn who reads the past. Supersti- tion, hypocrisy and dishonesty are fad- ing away, and charity, truth and hon- esty are taking their places. We sim- ply know more about what is going on in the world nowadays that makes moss- grown minds speak of ' ' the good old times," and with other progress let us encourage bright boys in the love oi^ plants and flowers and their cultiva- tion.

The accompanying illustration shows a house of tuberous begonias at the estab- lishment of Blackmore & Langdon, the Ewerton Hill Nursery, Bath, England, This is reproduced from a photograph taken just before the plants were packed and sent to the great Temple show in London, where they were awarded the only gold medal given by the Koyal Hor- ticultural Society for begonias, June 2, 1903, an award which was repeated in 1904. These are new varieties, very large- flowered with a variety of colors and dis- tinct character. They are as easily grown as the ordinary type of single or double tuberous begonias so generally used for bedding in England with such splen- did effect. The use of tuberous begonias is rapidly increasing in the United States and the opportunity to try this type under our climatic conditions will be awaited and watched for by the many dealers and planters. mMMmimtMtM^^ DEPARTMENT STORE FLOWER SALES. A LIVE ISSUE. So frequently of late have criticisms appeared of department store methods as applied to the flower business that the Reviev? has' gathered the facts and opinions of those best qualified to judge of the effect these sales have upon our trade. Kansas City was one of the first places to have the department store flower sale, now so common all over the country. In Kansas City these sales have been held regularly in season for years and, while some of the less firmly estab- lished florists condemn them roundly, those who believe that department store participation iii the flower business is hastening our trade on its way to the bow-wows will have to skip these pages or amend their views: As the Sales Manager Sees It. There are few department stores which have made a greater feature of flower sales than the Emery, Bird, Thayer Dry Goods Co., of Kansas City. This is one of the largest institutions of its kind west of Chicago. It has no regular flower department. The accompanying illustra- tion shows a flower sale in progress at ten o'clock in the morning of Saturday, March 18. The following details as to the purpose and method of conducting the sales are applied by F. W. Gremmels, of the Emery, Bird, Thayer Co.: "We take a section of counter space which can be spared or condensed for one day and establish our flower sale there. Saturday is the best day for such a sale and we take care that the place chosen is in an easily accessible part of the store. We have advertised the sale in the evening papers of the day before and we put %p legible but not too large signs around the flower 'de- partment.' We see that plenty of clerks are provided to handle the crowd and wrap up the stock as quickly as possible and save it from injury as much as may be, but we make no effort to do more than sell the loose cut flowers. "Of course we sell at low prices, for the purpose is to attract people to the store and in that we have found these flower sales very successful. They are a great drawing card. We have sold as high as 60,000 carnations in one day, at 1 cent and 2 cents each. We put only a part of the stock on the counters at one time and replenish trom reserve stocu. kept in water in a cool room. We buy our stock from the various wholesale florists in St. Louis and Chicago, as our local growers are unable to supply us. "We sell any flower in season, such as carnations, roses, violets, mums or lilies, but of course we can only make the sales attractive when we can get the stock at a price, using a quantity, we can use these flower sales at any time in the cool months of the year, say from October to May, but stock is not often sufiiciently plentiful in the winter months, so that we are in a measure lim- ited to spring and fall, when the cut flower markets are overstocked. But we also hold these sales on palms, ferns, fern balls, etc. Probably we could use A House of Tuberous Begonias Grown for Exliibition in England. ^•' ;-;/V.

The Weekly Florists^ Review* J 225 The Special Sale Pavilion for Cut Flowers in a Kansas Qty Department Store. many other things if they could be of- fered at a price which would serve our purpose of attracting a crowd." As the Retailer Sees It. In order to set forth the effect of the department store flower sales on the re- tail flower stores, the retailers at Kansas City, who have had as much experience of this ' ' competition ' ' as anyone, were appealed to for their views. Samuel Murray, who does a large business and is a heavy buyer in the same markets as those drawn upon by the department stores, writes as follows: "In regard to the special sales of cut flowers by the Emery, Bird, Thayer Co. and others, I do not think that they at- tract many of the people who patronize the better class of flower stores; maybe some, but on the whole they do the retail florists good by reaching a new class of people and creating in them a love for the beautiful and for flowers. Later these people will come to be regular pat- rons of the florists, buying to adorn their own homes but especially buying flowers for gifts to those in suffering and sadness, something they had not thought of until the cheap sale awoke in them the loVe of flo^.ers. I feel that every flower brought into the home, be it rich or poor, brings just so much sun- shine. I was very much pleased last Saturday (March 18) to see so many people in town carrying bunches of car- nations and violets from one of these sales. ' ' W. L. Rock is one of the representa- tive florists of the west. He writes as follows: "It is our candid opinion that these department store flower sales are a bene- fit to the retail florist, providing they go no farther than having specisd sales on, say, one day in the week. The sales certainly do us no harm. The class of people buying the department store flow- ers buy them because they think they are a bargain, and sometimes they are bargains. This class of people would not buy of the legitimate florist if there were no sale. The only danger we can see is that these sales, when well pat- ronized, may have a tendency to tempt the department stores to place cheap flowers on sale regularly, or every day during the spring season, when stock of this character is plentiful and cheap. "We have two large department stores here which have flower sales near- ly every Saturday. Still our business increases each year, especially so on Saturdays, as tltat day is made up largely of transient business. * ' We have had a few special sales our- selves and find they bring the people into our store, but we don't advocate having them oftener than once or twice a season and then giving the public a sure-enough bargain, something they will talk about. "We understand that the Emery, Bird, Thayer Co. have contracted with some Chicago firm for 5,000 lilies and 15,000 fancy carnations to sell the Sat- urday before Easter at 15 cents for lilies and 2 cents for carnations. Such a sale as this is apt to hurt the smaller retail stores but not the stores where the higher class patronage goes. We only regret that such sales occur for the rea- son that they cannot handle lilies as an experienced florist can handle them and the result is that a lot of people will be disappointed Easter Sunday, and a num- ber of smaller florists also disappointed in their sales, and no one benefited, for the department store has made no profit and the grower most likely could have sold them to the florists. "These sales usually wear themselves out; just let them alone. The people are becoming better educated each year as to quality. Those who are buy- ing cheap flowers this year may be the regular florists' customers next year. So on the whole I think these sales a bene- fit," As the Wholesalers See It. "There can be no doubt of the value of these special sales to the wholesale markets and the growers, ' ' said a lead- ing Chicago wholesaler. "They are a good thing for the market in that when- ever the production is so great that prices get down to a certain level there is an assurance that everything at that price will be cleaned up on at least one day, which serves to establish a bottom price for Thursday and Friday and cleaning up the market has the effect that on Saturday and Sunday values are well maintained. And it is not only the man whose stock goes to fill the big order who is benefited; the whole mar- ket feels the benefit. I always like to hear that these orders are in town, whether I get them or not." "It is not right to refer to these de- partment store orders as 'cheap or- ders,' " said another wholesaler. "We have found these people ready to pay fair prices. Of course they do not buy until arices are down to a low level, but then Tney buy in big lots and pay just as good prices as any florist will pay who can use a thousand of 'our selec- tion.' Naturally the department store buyer wants to get his stock as cheaply as he can and underbidding makes him shift his order from one house to an- other. But if no more than $7.50 is now sometimes paid lor ai thousand car- nations it is because of the seuer's anx- iety to sell. He might as easily get $12.50 if nobody would pack up stock for less." * ' If one of my customers tells me that department store sales are hurting the Saturday business," said a commission man, "I tell him to go fight the devil with flre. If a florist who has anything like a central location does not approve of the department store sales, it won't be hard to stop them. Have a special sale of your own on the same day as the department store. Advertise just as widely, sell just as cheaply (you can buy as cheaply) and put the goods up in better shape. Hardly any department stores expect to make money on flower sales;, it's to draw the crowd they have t^:^Pf:H:Sf>> -r 1226 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ April 13, 1905. Establishment of S. B. Chester, East Liverpool, Ohio. them. Go them one better and the crowd will come your way and the gen- eral store will find flower sales of no value to them. A great many florists are doing it. Notice the dozens of thou- sand-lot orders that go out of Chicago and other large cities every Friday. ' ' Said another house: "We believe that we ship as many flowers to Kansas City as any firm in Chicago. We ship to the leading retailers, to the fellows with less elaborate fixtures, but who nevertheless do business, and we ship to the department stores. And there is one thing we can truthfully say, that there is no place from Pittsburg to Den- ver, or from the Twin Cities to New Orleans, where the florist's business is increasing at the rate it is in Kansas City, the city where the department stores sell cut flowers by the wagon load at cost every Saturday in spring. ' ' THE USE OF CONCRETE. Can one of the readers instruct me which materials and how much of them it will take to make a good mixture for concrete? My boiler cellar will have to he six feet -deep in the ground. R. A. V. This is a question that is of interest and importance. For greenhouse bench- es, walls of greenhouse, imitation blocks of stone for house basements and many other purposes, cement and sand are fast displacing the natural stone or bricks. As an instance of this, our locality .is blessed with an abundance of limestone for building purposes, and there are also several large manufacturers of hydraulic cement, sold here at 75 cents per barrel. Yet the great Lackawanna Steel Co., in erecting their mammoth buildings on the outskirts of this city, used exclusive- ly cement for foundations and walls, and the foundations of their largest building costing $80,000 for concrete alone. We have used concrete for the floors of stoke holes and for the walls of same. For walls of stoke holes or any cellar where little weight is carried eight inches is thick enough. Use four parts of sand to one part of cement. Now, there are several kinds of this hydraulic cement. There is our common cement, which is probably manufactured in many localities. Then there is the American Portland, and there is also sold the genuine English Portland, which is not made from a rock at all and is alto- gether too expensive for our use. The common cement is all you want. In mixing with sand for use, first thor- oughly mix the sand and the dry cement, then add the water, mixing with a hoe as you add the water, and be sure not to make it too wet. It should ap- pear to you rather on the dry side. It* proper consistency is this: When you shovel it into tiie wall and tamp it with a wooden rammer, if moisture, or perhaps I should say water, appears on the surface, then you have it right. For a dwelling house cellar floor or a cel- lar where you are going to keep flowers, this concrete will do very well, but should be finished off with a coat of one-fourth inch of half cement and lialf sand finely sifted and made quite thin, so that it will make a smooth, perfect- ly even surface. Now, for a stoke hole or boiler house floor, where heavy lumps of coal are smashing around, and more especially shoveling is continually going on, I much prefer a brick 'floor. Make the surface quite even, but with a slight grade to the sewer. Then spread half an inch or so of dry sand over it, so that your bricks make an even surface. Let there be a half-inch space between each brick, which, of course, should be laid flat. When your bricks are in place, mix some cement half and half with sand and wet until very thin. Spread it on the brkk floor with a scoop shovel or pail and sweep into the spaces between the bricks with a corn broom and you will have a floor that will last longer than you will. You must excuse me, Mr. Editor, for going into this cement business at much greater length than the plain question required, yet there may be a hint for some other beginner in cement construc- tion, and I do feel slightly competent to have an opinion, for during the first few years of my American education it was my pleasure (?) to mix and lay several hundred barrels of cement for cellar floors and very recently I have used the same material for cellar walls and low walls for greenhouse beds. While four parts of sand to one of cement is the thing for a wall of, say, six to eight feet in height, a little wall for a rose or carnation bed, which is seldom over a foot in height by four inches thick, can be five parts of sand to one of cement and will be amply strong. William Scott. MECHANICAL WATERING. Since the sub-irrigation idea became pretty thoroughly exploded, at least so far as concerns commercial growers, at- tention has been turned toward mechant- cal and semi-automatic devices for watering the* plants on or in greenhouse benches. The best invention of this char- acter to date is that of C. W. Skinner, Troy, O. This, as is quite well under- stood, consists of a line of pipe with small patent nozzles inserted at short in- tervals, producing a rain-like spray. This pipe is fitted to turn on a swivel, so that the spray may be directed over a large radius. The device has not yet been thoroughly tested for use in plant houses or cut flower houses, but its ap- plication to vegetable houses, particu- larly where lettuce is grown, was suc- cessful from the first. One of the accompanying illustra- tions shows the establishment of S. B. Chester, the president of the Cleveland Market Gardeners' Association, and one of the most progressive of the younger § rowers in that section. He has the kinner device in four connected houses 30x150 feet, which are used exclusively for lettuce. There are no benches in these houses and the heating is by hot water from two Furman boilers, the pip- S. B.

As is shown in one of the other pictures, the irrigation is by two lines of pipe running the full length of each house, about six feet from the surface of the beds. The small nozzles, with spray caps, are placed along these pipes about three feet apart and at the end of each pipe there is a swivel joint and handle to enable the operator to direct the spray in any direction desired. The spraying nozzle with water under high pressure breaks up the stream into very fine mist. By means of the two pipes the^ house may be literally filled with moist- ure. One of the accompanying pictures shows one line of pipe in operation. There are valves so that any part of the house may be watered, thus obviating any chance for having dry spots or too wet places in any part. One of the other illustrations shows a nearer view of the irrigation line, showing the spray and nozzles and also showing the valve and swivel handle. One of the advantages of the system is that the newly planted stock may be watered at once and not beaten down, but revived very quickly under the light fall of water like a heavy dew. It is also said to be an ad- vantage that by this sprayng process the water becomes thoroughly aerated by being so broken up. While it is, of course, possible to operate this watering device by any means to insure a water pressure of not less than forty pounds, Mr. Chester finds nothing more satisfactory than the gaso- line pumping engine made by the Stand- ard Pump and Engine Co., which is used in so many greenhouse establishments. He gets his water from a well eighteen feet deep, with a capacity of 800 bar- rels, forcing it through the pipe line with the one and one-half horse-power pumping engine shown in one of the ac- companying illustrations. This machine has a capacity of twenty gallons per minute and is capable of working against a pressure of ninety pounds per square inch, pumping direct into the pipe line and furnishing a constant high pressure. This engine is of sufficient capacity to supply 150 of these nozzles at one time with sufficient pressure for good work and can be operated all day on two gallons of gasoline. Mr. Chester also uses the pump for washing the let- tuce for market and for pumping water The Standard Pamping Engine Used by S. B. Chester.* into the heating boilers. It can be started instantly and is an ever ready protection from fire and can be used for any kind of pumping about a green- house. Mr. Chester has an acre of outdoor space fitted with the Skinner system of irrigation, using spraying nozzles alone without the caps which are used to break up the stream into mist. Two hundred nozzles are sufficient to take care of one acre during very dry weather. This system has served him so well that a number of his neighbors and others who have seen it are planning to install it in their places this summer. Stratford, Ont. — A. Neal says that he gets the best results by growing his carnations indoors all summer. Queen Louise is his best white. SNAPDRAGONS. Will you please let me know what to do for snapdragons that curl up at the top of the stalks? I have examined them with a magnifying glass but cannot find any insects. I have tried fumigating with tobacco but it does no good. Do you recommend red pepper for fumigat- ing? G. B. P. We have never been troubled with this "curling up" of the shoots. I hope some extensive growers of antirrhinums can enlighten G. B. P. as to what the trouble is. We have never used red pepper for fumigating, but a few weeks ago in the columns of the Bevibw a prominent rose grower recommended its use for destroying red spider and gave directions. Vaporizing with Nicotieide and fumigating by burning tobacco dust in pie dishes keeps down all insect life. And if these do not answer, the hydro- cyanic acid gas is sure death to all of them. That bulletin on the white fly is- sued by the Department of Agriculture published in last week's Review should be cut out and framed for there you will learn all about this most useful gas. w. a Section Showing Pipe, Nozzle, Valve and Swivel Handle.

Some may have begun already but our ex- perience has been that it is best to wait until there is less danger of damage by frost. While the carnation is classed as hardy it would be unreasonable to sup- pose that plants reared under glass would relish exposure to frost. If plant- ed a sufficient time to become pretty well established before a freeze came, they would probably pull through, but it is not a question of bow much a car- nation can stand but what treatment will suit it best. In Connecticut the first week in May can be taken as an average time to put stock in the field. Meanwhile the land should be got into condition to receive it. It is a good plan to arrange for at least two pieces of ground in which to plant. By this means a different plot can be used each year. While one is in use the other can be so treated as to be in prime concfiiion the following year; but this will be touched on later. This may be the first year with some growers and no preparations made last fall. In that case it would be ad- visable to make use of land on which some cultivated crop was raised last year, com or potatoes, for instance, It will depend on how much manure was used last year, what amount is needed at this time, but it is not likely any great quantity will be required. You want enough to keep them growing sturdily but remember they are not to stop long {uvd, in comparison with many crops, remove but little from the soil. Too much manure is believed to bring about conditions, favorable to stem-rot. We use no bone meal in the field, preferring to reserve it for use in the benches. Probably no advice is necessary in re- gard to the use of plows, harrows, etc., as you understand them thoroughly, so employ your best skill and make a first- class job. Now as to preparations for the fu- ture. Choose a piece of sod that will raise a good farm crop and so handle it. This will necessitate stirring the soil all summer, getting it into good mechanical condition; besides the crop will take off the raw edges produced by the combination of decayed sod and the manure you would plow in. If you are located where crimson clover will not winter-kill and do not care to bother with a cultivated crop, the land could be harrowed several times during the summer to keep down weeds, then about the middle of August sow the clover. Some land is unsuited to clover or said to be clover-sick. In this case an application of lime will help matters and in any case I would treat the seed with nitro-culture. Crimson clover starts very early in the spring and grows rapidly. Plowed in as early as the ground can be worked it will quickly decay and prove an inexpensive method of adding nitrogen to the soil. It will be readily seen by the above how two plots of land can be handled to advantage and as most growers lift their plants before August 15 there is time io follow with clover or some other cover crop. Those obliged to use the same ground two years in succession will see a way to benefit their plants. Geo. S, Osboen. caenXtion notes.— west. Seasonable Details. It will be several weeks, probably, in- cur locality, before we will be able to plant our young carnations in the field. It may not freeze hard enough to hurt them after April 20, but along about that time we usually have a rainy spell which prevents planting for a week or two longer. Whatever you do, don't plow your ground when it is too wet, for you will have trouble all summer. The soil will be stiff and too lumpy to plant right and you will have trouble in cul- tivating later on. Neither will the plants thrive as they should. Bed of Cinna E^andale Edfed with Pennisetum Ruppellii. Afbil 18, 19a5. The Weekly Florists^ Review* J229 Bed of Gmna Souvenir de Antoine Gx)zy Edged with Pennisetum Longistylum. Many growers of carnations are also growers of geraniums and such stock and this is the time of year when these growers begrudge the young carnation stock every foot of space it takes up. It is a great mistake, of course, but nevertheless one that is made frequently, to the grower's sorrow later. If you have some hotbed sash you can remedy this evil by putting all your young car- nations that are well established in pots out in cold frames. It will not likely freeze hard enough after this date to injure young carnations that have glass or board protection. They will, in fact, be much benefited by being out there, as it ripens the growth somewhat and they will take hold quicker when planted out, and without wilting any. You must take just as good care of them, though, as you would inside. In fact, they will need more attention and work, as you will have to raise all the sash on bright days, or, better still, take them oflf alto- gether and put them back on in the evening if the temperature is likely to go below 40 degrees. Don't shut them down tight, except to keep the frost out. They will take more watering, -too, as they will dry out more rapidly than they do inside. By all means run your water pipes out to the frames, so you can water with the hose. If you plunge the pots to the rim in sand it will help them to hold moisture. A. F. J. Bauk. APHIDES AND ANTS. I am sending a piece of a carnation plant to show the insects on it. Please tell me what to do to get rid of them. We never had any trouble with them until about two weeks ago. Our carna- tions also show the effect of little red ants that get inside the calyxes and damage the petals, to themf What shall we do P. M. The samples you sent were pretty well dried up by the time they reached me and the insects were all dead and pressed flat. I could see, however, that they are no other than aphides and you should experience no difficulty in ridding your place of them. Buy a pint (or a gallon if you care to keep it on hand for con- stant use) of any good extract of nico- tine and spray as per directions on the can every other morning for ten days and you will find no live aphides by that time, even if they are entrenched be- tween the young foliage. After that spray all your plants once a week and you will always have your plants clean. While we are talking insects and spray- ing let me say a word about one of our worst enemies, which is thrips. This is the time of year when they are usually the worst and if allowed to go unchecked they play havoc with your crop of blooms in a hurry. Some varieties are troubled more by them than others, Mrs. Lawson being one of the worst. You will notice their presence by those white spots around the edges of the petals up to now, but as the sun gets stronger these spots turn brown and make the blooms look rusty and bruised. We used to have much trouble with these, but this year we are spraying once each week with the To- bak-ine liquid, and we have not been troubled with thrips at all so far. I am satisfied that this will keep them down when applied regularly. It cer- tainly has kept our plants cleaner this season than we have ever been able to keep them by fumigating. A. F. J. Baur. Geneseo, III. — Leroy HJU & Bro. are starting in the greenhouse business here. PENNISETUM FOR EDGING. For the edging of beds of many mod- erately tall growing plants there is no better material than the pennisetum. The name comes from penna, a feather, and seta, a bristle, and is aptly descrip- tive, for at a distance the effect is feather-like, while the spike is composed of bearded bristles. P. longistylum of gardeners is P. villosum, Brown, of bot- any. It is, perhaps the finest grass com- monly grown for its flowers. At Lin- coln park, Chicago, last season the P. longistylum and P. Ruppellii, Steud., Rupelianum in some books, were used to very good effect as edging for beds of cannas. The results would have been even better had it been a season of nor- mal growth for the cannas. It would have carried the flowers a little further above the grass. Egandale in particular failed to reach its usual height by quite a little. The plants of pennisetum may be ob- tained from seed each year but early sowing is necessary in order to get a showing before the season is over. The old plants may be taken up and wintered anywhere that frost is not admitted. In the spring divide into pieces for a 3-inch pot, set in flats of soil in a greenhouse to start growth, then pot, later move to a cold frame and you have less need for care and an earlier showering. GERANIUM DISEASE. I send a geranium. If you can tell me what is the matter with it, and the rem- edy, I will be much obliged. In a lot of 500 or 600 about 100 have gone to the bad in this manner. I had a few last year that crinkled up like the one I send you and I kept them and set them out but they produced no blooms but kept on growing. This peculiar growth of dis- ease appears all over the bed. It does ■•■r'vrT"y'~j- J230 The Weekly Florists^ Review* APitiL 13, 1905. not confine itself to any one variety. It did not show this season until I had most of them in 4-inch pots. H. M. M. We recognize the trouble very readily from the specimens sent and have often had to discard varieties because a num- ber of the plants were affected by it. It may be called a disease, but what I don't know. It is not caused by any external trouble. It is in the constitu- tion of the plant. The terminal growth of a shoot makes a number of small, abortive leaves and numerous small later- al growths. Altogether the plant is use- less. Some varieties we have grown for twenty years and not a plant ever showed signs of this trouble. Other varieties, notably that fine old pink, Emile de Gir- ardine^ we had to discard. I feel sure it is sound advice to say that when any variety assumes this habit, throw it away and start with a newer and more vigor- ous variety. W. S. THE USE OF PLANT FOODS. The importance of liquid feeding at this season of the year is so fully recog- nized by growers that in directing atten- tion to its use there is little necessity for discussing its merits. Even the beginner must be aware that when judiciously ap- plied it must possess a highly stimulating power upon the growth, development of the bud and general health of the plant. The experienced grower who, by practice, is convinced of these facts makes use of this knowledge and by a close study of conditions during the different stages of growth can produce results which are little short of marvelous. In applying liquid food to roses at this time of the year a technical knowledge of the composition of the fertilizers is abso- lutely necessary if success is to be at- tained. It must be remembered that the roots of roses under glass are, or should be, in full activity and are capable of ab- sorbing large quantities of food and must do so to sustain the rank growth which is now in progress, and when this food is presented in its nwst assimilable form great care must be exercised in tne selection, quality and strength of the preparation. As the depth of soil is so limited it is far from safe to have any constituents in the supply which are not at once available, thus preventing an accumulation of salts, which might be detrimental to the general health of the plant. It is always safe to rely on organic or barnyard manure, as it usually pos- sesses the essential elements of plant life in safe and proper proportions, but it is frequently beneficial to supplement this class of manure with others of a more concentrated nature and which contain the elements wanted at that particular stage of development. Those crops under glass sometimes re- quire an additional fertilizer in the form of ammonia, potash or phosphoric acid and these elements are contained in bone flour, wood ashes, etc., and can be ap- plied in quantities to meet the present requirements of the plant if the grower possesses sufficient knowledge of their qualities so that he can act with safety. When quick acting and easily soluble fertilizers like nitrate of soda, sulphate of ammonia and superphosphates are to be used it is best to have plenty of fiber in the soil, as this class of soil absorbs quickly and gives up slowly. When the roots are very active the proportion of nitrate of soda, sulphate of ammonia or superphosphate should be fifteen ounces to ten gallons of water per 100 square feet of bench. When root action is slow it is safer to refrain from the use of all chemical foods. If the growth is reaching and the foliage is of good color but the wood weak and spindling, the need of lime and potash is apparent, as the rose plant re- quires these elements in the building up of plant tissues. In a case like this the use of nitrogenous manures should be avoided. Potash can be supplied by giving a light top-dressing of wood ashes, but as this is a very concentrated form of food it must be supplied sparingly, five pounds to 100 square feet of bench being suffi- cient for a first application. If the plants persist in making wood and refuse to set buds reduce the quan- tity of nitrogenous food and give phos- phoric acid in the form of bone meal, using about five pounds to each 100 square feet of bench. It must ever be remembered that bone, lime and wood ashes should never be used in combina- tion under any circumstances, as this releases more ammonia than the rose has any use for. Where the soil is a stiff, heavy clay it is very unsafe to use chemical fertilizers and if used at all should be diluted at least one-third more than usually recom- mended for ordinary soils. The frequency of applications depends entirely on the stage of growth and weather and the student will have to govern himself by these conditions to obtain success. It is always safe to give at least one thorough watering with clear water between applications of liquid feeding. Nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash are rarely found in sufficient quantities in ordinary soils and therefore have to be added in proper quantities by the ex- perimenter. They are also quickly ex- hausted and difficult and costly to restore. RiBES. ROSE QUERIES. At the last meeting of the Pittsburg and Allegheny Florists' Club the ques- tion box contained a number of queries on rose growing. Here are some of the questions and the answers supplied by expert growers: 1. — When should roses be planted? How should sulphur be applied as a preventive for mildew? Is there anything better? Wihy is it Bridesmaids vary so much in color, planted in the same house and given the same treatment, some a nice shade of pink, others so light in color? Eoses for winter blooming may be benched any time up to July 20. Flow- ers of sulphur mixed with linseed oil to a paste and brushed on the steam-pipes is the best preventive of mildew. If we could have all our plants of Bridesmaid in the same healthy, vigorous growing condition the color would probably be the same in all the flowers. 2. — ^What varieties of roses are the best sellers throughout the season? Maid, Bride, Meteor, Liberty, Perle and Cusin, with Kaiserin and Gate in season, are undoubtedly the most staple goods, while there are any number of good roses which will sell just as well if they have the right kind of a sales- man behind them. One of the cries is for ' ' something new ' ' in roses and yet when they are to be had, with a few exceptions, the stores are afraid to handle them be- cause their trade does not ask for them. 3. — Name the twelve best roses for summer blooming, outside of the regular June blooming roses. Maman Cochet, pink; Maman Cochet, white; Gruss An Teplitz, red; Clothilde Soupert, white and pink; Pres. Carnot, white; Malmaison, shell pink; Duchess of Albany, dark pink; Balduin, crimson; La France, light pink; Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, white; Etoile de Lyon, yellow; Souv. de Wootton, red. SEASONABLE NOTES. Every grower who is planning for the best results for next year has taken his stock before this, and probably has the first batch out of the propagating bed and into the flats. Be sure and keep your "pedigreed" stock securely and accurately labeled, so that no mistakes can possibly be rfiade, remembering that mistakes or carelessness mean that you are set back at least one year, to say nothing about making your records of much less value, even if they are not worthless. After getting the stock transplanted into the flats, do not think that they can take care of themselves just as well as not, because you have so much else at this time of the year to take your atten- tion. If neglected now, or your vig- Apbil 13, 1905. The Weekly Florists' Review- 1231 ilance relaxed, and they are permitted to halt in their proper development, if not very noticeable at the present, it -will become apparent next season, when the weather and conditions are unfavorable for plant growth and development. For this reason you should see that they have plenty of good fresh air as soon as they become established and have taken hold of the soil. Do not allow them to become drawn or weak for lack of good light, or too warm houses with an over-abundance of water. You might almost give them too little water and too much air if you are in danger, from circumstances, of doing one or the other. A soft, sleppy plant, if I may be allowed to call it so, will be in no shape later to either plant in the borders or outdoors, for such a plant shrivels up and* is gone at the first rise of the sun, or the first breaths of a dry, hot wind, with the result that you have had all your labor for your pains. So I say again, take proper care of your stock every day, even if you lose one or two Easter sales. If for any reason it has been really impossible to get your stock worked up before this, and the weather stays as cool as we are now having, you might still take your stock rather than trust to buying, as the chances are that it would be as good or better than any you could buy, for the reason, as I have frequently stated before, new stock takes one or two years to get accliniated. You will have to use even more than ordinary care lest your cuttings receive some check, and it is best to use all pre- cautions you can, so at the very start, when taking the cuttings off the plants, throw them as removed from the old plants at once into a paU of cold water. This not only keeps them from wilting and hardens them up, but it gives them a good washing, removing dirt (and bugs, perhaps), making them in good order to go into the propagating bed, and they should have watchful care here in water- ing, shading, airing, etc., or else you may find them suddenly damped off, to your dismay and undoing. Another don't: Don't give them some old, dirty propagating bed. Use new, fresh soil in the flats when they come out of the bed ready to be pricked out. You may think, if they are so late com- ing out of the propagating bed, and you have your border ready to plant, why not plant them directly into the border and not take the trouble to put them into flats? But our advice would be, do not do 80. You will probably gain in the end by giving them a chance to get established in the flats, and you can shade and control the temperature and other conditions here, and can not in the border. Planting directly into the bor- der never seems to be a success. K. E. Shuphelt. PHALAENOPSIS. The different species of phalsenopsis are among the most beautiful of all winter flowering orchids. Coming, aa they do, from the islands of the Malay archipelago and some of the eastern provinces of India, they need tropical treatment. No one should essay their culture who has not at least a plant stove where a winter minimum of 60 and 65 degrees can be maintained. If a small division can be given up to them all the better.

The plants are also fond of lumpy charcoal. An abundance of water is needed dur- ing the growing season, from March to September. The plants need plenty of light. Winter sun from December 1 to February 15 will not hurt them. The rest of the year some shading is neces- sary. If the shade is a movable one all the better. It is a great mistake to grow the plants under heavy shade; beautiful leaves are produced but much poorer spikes of flowers. Like miltonias, these plants easily fall a prey to thrips. Sponging with tobacco water will keep these in check, but heavy fumigation will injure the plants seriously. P. Schilleriana is the finest of all the moth orchids. The flowers are of a beautiful rosy pink color. Eacemes carrying eighty to 125 flowers have been produced under cultivation. Some of our plants this season carried racemes over three feet long, with eight branches and sixty flowers. These plants have done service for over twenty years. Other beautiful and desirable sorts are P. Aphrodite (also called P. amabilis), P. Stuartiana, P. Sanderiana, P. violacea and P. Sumatrana. W. N. Craig.

LETTUCE IN FRAMES. During catchy weather it is sometimes quite troublesome to regulate the air- ing of cold frames. It hardly pays to have a man running around them the whole day long; still it is better to have someone convenient in case of sudden changes of temperature. I have often in this column advocated the cold frame for lettuce in spring and fall, but I was rather surprised to read in a recent issue of the Review that W. W. Eawson, with such a width of glass at his disposal, uses something like 1,200 sash in the growing of lettuce. This in itself is quite an argument in favor of the cold frame. The plants are sometimes a little slow 1232 The Weekly Florists' Review^ Apbil 18, 1905. in starting when unfavorable weatlier prevails, but once they get under way it is gratifying to see them grow. Sel- dom, if ever, is there any trouble with fungus diseases or any of the many troubles that prevail in the green- house; the lettuce plants simply seem to revel in the conditions here provided and with ordinary care never fail to produce satisfactory results. W, S. Croydon. CUCUMBERS. Plants recently set in the beds should be kept growing as freely as possible. Though httle fire heat will be neces- sary in another month or so, it will pay to use some coal now to give the plants a good start, for if they once get stunted it is a hard matter to get them back into a healthy, free-growing condition. As a rule, the days are bright enough now and the sun heat is sufficient to maintain the necessary tem- perature, which should be as near 80 degrees as possible, but on dull or wet days fire heat will, of course, be needed. Though on such days 80 degrees need hardly be maintained, it will not do any harm to run from 70 to 75 degrees. Earlier in the season, when a high tem- perature is maintained through the day by fire heat alone the plants are apt to become drawn and weakly, but now a dull spell can only be of short duration and the bright sunlight can be depended on to counteract any tendency to soft- ness. There is a good deal more in proper firing than many people take time to think. A good deal of son heat can be retained by closing up the house early, and the fire should be started while the house is still warm, so that by the time the temperature drops to the night figure, 65 degrees, the pipes are warm enough to prevent further de- cline. It is poor policy to wait until the temperature is running down be- fore starting the fire, as it is apt to go down too low and more fire is necessary to raise it to the required figure than would have been needed to keep the fire going an hour or two earlier in the day. A moist atmosphere should be main- tained as much as possible through the day and frequent syringing should be given to ward off the attacks of red spider, which is the worst insect enemy to which cucumbers are subject. Care should be used, however, to use a very fine spray as the leaves are tender and easily lacerated. W. S. Croydon. PROPAGATION. While there is lots of time yet in which to propagate chrysanthemums, still it is well to have all the early and mid-season kinds rooted this month, so that they will be nice stock to plant by June 1. The operation of propagating is simple enough, and too well known to need any description, but from now on cuttings in the bench will need more attention as to spraying and watering than did stock rooted earlier in the year. Every day the sun increases in strength and if, as is usually the case, the cuttings are being rooted in an odd comer of the house, where other plants are growing, the cuttings will need shading and daily watering to keep them from wilting. When a cutting gets hard and woody, as it will if dried but a few times, it does not root readily and will never make a satisfactory plant. Those growers who have a north side propagating house do not experience much difficulty in this di- rection for some time yet but we do not all have an ideal propagating house. Wlhen the sand in the bench is coarse, cuttings inserted in such sand need much more water than they would if the sand were of a finer texture. Some growers are very particular to insist on the sand being sharp, absolutely clean, etc., but as a matter of fact chrysanthemums never do better than when the sand has a certain proportion of loam through it, such as is found alongside of almost any stream in the country. One thing that is important is to get the cuttings out of the sand just as soon as the young rootlets are an inch long. There is no nourishment in sand for a plant to live on and when potting up is too long delayed the plant makes a thin, spindly top and long, wiry roots, and thereby incurs a check at the outset of its career. All these may seem like small items to write about but they are among the lit- tle things that go to make ultimate suc- cess or failure. The Cold Frame. From now on the cold frame is a boon to the grower. After the middle of the month it is perfectly safe, in most locali- ties, to put the young mums out in the frame. If a cold night comes along they may, of course, need some protection, but they will do much better in the frame than they will in a house, not to mention the fact of the valuable space that is gained for bedding plants and" such-like stock. Even though I did not need the space, if I had a frame I would rather have my young stock in it, because it is a more natural condition for a chrysanthe- mum to be cold and airy, and when grown in this manner the growth is stocky and short-jointed and will give much better results. When plants are out in a frame it is a difficult matter to fumigate, so that it is well to see that they are clean be- fore putting them outside. The black fly is an inseparable companion of the mum and the plants must be lightly but persistently fumigated. Exhibition Stock. Exhibition growers generally now have their stock rooted and into 2-inch or 8- inch pots, some that I know even having their plants set out where they are in- .' tended to flower. While this seems a waste of room and time to the commer- cial grower, the results obtained from the longer season of growth seem to justi- fy the additional time and care. Com- petition is keen nowadays in the eastern shows and he who would come out a win- ner has got to get in the game early and stay there. Where there was one expert grower five years ago there are now a dozen and their numbers are increasing every year. Rust. Rust is still with us to a greater or . less extent and a little attention just now will clean the plants of this disease. Where, it is showing on the young stock the best thing to do is to take off the green hpalthy top and strike it again and throw away the old plant. By this means it can be cleaned right out of the stock and will give no further trouble. If the variety is a valued one, and scarce, and it is not advisable to throw the plants away, they may be sprayed with potassium sulphide, half an ounce to a gallon of water which, if thoroughly done, will clean out the rust, but where possible I would say — ^ma^e a clean, new start entirely.

Primula His Majesty is an exception- ally fine double white Chinese primula, the result of many years of careful selec- tion to secure a really giant-flowered double form. The flowers have splendid texture and are finely fringed. His Majesty was exhibited before the Boyal Horticultural Society of England on February 14 of this year and received an award of merit. The photograph comes from Sutton & Sons, Beading, England, who are the introducers of this fine variety. BOSTON. The Market While we have had quiet days, and rather druggy ones, we cannot com- plain of business being bad for this season of the year. For the Lenten season there has been quite a little so- cial activity in our city and trade is much better than a year ago at this time. Indications point to a good Eas- ter supply of everything in the cut fiower line except violets. Any who are fortunate enough to be able to hold back a supply of these will secure ex- cellent prices for them. The coming holiday, unless all signs fail, will be more than ever a plant Easter. Boses continue in abundant supply, without much change from previous quotations. Carnations also remain about the same, from $1 to $2.50 being about the usual prices secured, a few going lower and higher. Violets are getting scarce and good stock readily brings 75 cents per hundred. Bulbous stock is plentiful, but sells very well. Callas, Easter lilies and lily of the valley are all in good supply. Some very good stocks, antirrhinum and Spanish iris are com- ing in. Sweet peas are abundant. While poor grades are lower, high quality flowers, like those Wm. Sim brings in, sell well. Asparagus and adiantum are each coming of better quality. A good many pot plants of bulbous stock, roses, ■'■^;rtf^';^v'??)PiTf?".73^V«*-^;;* . "•■ ■ '■>:''''',■ Apbil 13. 1905.

William Nicholson reports a very heavy sale for young stock of his large flowering white marguerite. He con- tinues to bring in, among other carna- tions, remarkably fine Prosperity, in the culture of which he is particularly successful. Houghton & Clark, on Boylston street, are showing some extra well grown plants of Gardenia florida and Erica Cavendishiana. In cut flowers they have some excellent Lycaste Skin- neri of a very dark color, and superb antirrhinums. E. N. Peirce & Co. are forwarding quantities of pot-grown Brunner roses and Lilium longiflorum to the Park street market. They are the largest growers of the latter for the Boston market and their immense stock this year is in prime condition for Easter. N. F. McCarthy' & Co.'s auction sales of Dutch and American grown nursery stock started on April 7. Hybrid per- petual roses, bay trees and a general as- sortment of evergreen and deciduous trees and shrubs is included. J. W. Manning, who recently took over the Reading Nursery, so long man- aged by his father, is receiving immense importations of trees and shrubs from the leading European growers. His monograph on berry producing plants re- cently mailed to his customers is very interesting. William Anderson, of South Lancas- ter, was operated on for appendicitis on April 2. We are pleased to learn he is progressing satisfactorily, although some weeks will elapse ere he is able to be around again. M. H. Walsh is receiving numerous orders for his new Bambler roses as a result of the grand group he put up in Boston recently. Those who want to see hybrid perpetual roses well grown should visit Woods Hole about the end of June and a week or two later to see his beautiful hardy Ramblers. Supt. J. A. Pettigrew, of the Boston park system, says that he finds a good (leal of damage done to trees and shrubs, especially evergreens. Rhododendrons and hemlock pine have suffered badly. The long, severe winter, added to the dry weather of the last two years, he considers is largely accountable for it. Welch Bros, anticipate the biggest Easter business in their history and will have considerable additional floor space for handling their enormous quantity of supplies. Their boxes of Easter lily plants, twenty-five in a box, are making quite a hit. Mann Bros, are shipping very fine pots of Pink and Crimson Rambler roses to the Park street market, in addition to azaleas and rhododendrons. J. T. Scott, representing F. R. Pierson Co., Geo. F. Struck with Lager & Hur- rell, and A. Hans, with H. J. Kuyk, of Ghent, Belgium, were with us the past week. All report good business. Joseph Tailby & Son have had Spanish iris in season for several weeks. What they are now shipping to the new mar- ket is remarkably fine. While most of the growers' single vio- lets are done, Kidder Bros, are still sell- ing splendid Princess of Wales at the Park street market. They are planning to considerably increase their area of violets for another season. Duncan Finlayson has returned from a trip to Washington, whefe he was super- intending the landscaping around the new Larz Anderson mansion. E. 0. Orpet reports heavy damage to trees and shrubs from field mice at South Lancaster, large quantities being girdled. Digitalis purpurea and other biennials, as well as some perennials, are nearly all eaten. Petsr Murray gave a very practical talk on * * Begonias and ,Their Culture ' ' before the New Bedford Horticultural Society on April 11. Mr. Murray is a fine grower of that sterling variety, Gloire de Lorraine. He reports excel- lent business since he started commer- cially on March 1. Indications point to White Lawson and Lady Bountiful being the most planted of their color here next season. The Queen also will be quite largely grown. Where it does well it is hard to beat. The Brides and Maids being sent in from Montrose Greenhouses to our mar- ket are of grand quality at present. Some of them secured first premiums at the late show. Carbone has a quantity ocf pink saxi- fragas in pots, which are something of a novelty to many. He also has some very fine ericas and azaleas, varieties of the latter especially which are not often seen. W, E. Doyle is showing some fine spikes of Crinum Macowani. Wellesley and Killarney roses are favorites with him. He is getting some very fine Liber- ties, also. He anticipates a big Easter trade. An additional house has just been given up to orchids at Mrs. R. C. Hoop- er's, in Manchester, where William Swan has charge. Phalaenopsis, calanthes and Vanda coerulea are to be grown in addi- tion to the cattleyas already on hand. Carnations are splendid here, Enchant- ress, White Lawson, Lady Bountiful and Lawson being all superb. Out at Waverly W. W. Edgar has a grand lot of plants which will be just / .

Rosss in variety, aza- leas, genistas, acacias and other season- able sorts are grown in quantity. The next meeting of the Gardeners' and riorists' Club occurs on April 18. A number of new members will be elected and there will be interesting talks. It will pay every member to be prssent. The next prize exhibition at Horti- cultural Hall occurs on April 29. Classes are provided for Azalea indica, pelar- goniums in variety, calceolarias, tulips, narcissi, pansies and native plants, also a variety of forced vegetables. Seed stores have been rushed to the limit of late and overtime has been the rule for everyone. More early or- ders are now sent in than used to be the case. Nurserymen are also having a strenuous time of it shipping stock and are hoping for a cool month to retard vegetation and thus prolong their sea- son. At the new market N. 1'. Comley, Mal- colm Orr and Edward Wood are still shipping in first-class violets. New stall- holders at this market are John Hus- band, of Cambridge, and J. W. Cava- naugh. The latter is handling quanti- ties of May flowers, which are now abun- dant. Mrs. David Fisher, of Montvale, has started to sell Asparagus Sprengeri and adiantum at the same market. Alexander McKay, of South Framing- ham, has bought material for his new houses, to be erected on land recently acquired, and is busy with preparatory work. Blair, of South Framingham, will have a new house built by Lord & Burn- ham Co. William Sim cuts over 5,000 sweet peas daily, but cannot half supply his orders. He is just starting to pick Princess of Wales violets from his frames. Of these he has three, each 360 feet long, which will give him a heavy picking for Easter. He is getting $1 per hundred for all his best. We regret that John Walsh, of the Park street market, is again a victim of rheumatism and hope for his speedy recovery. Thomas Pegler, who sells for Oscar L. Dorn, handles some 10,000 Campbell vio- lets daily at present. He expects to have about 60,000 for Easter. Waban Conservatories will plant their new rose "VS^Iellesley heavily this season, as it has been very popular. They have received orders for stock from all sec- tions of the country. J. W. Foote and A. Eoper are send- ing grand Fair Maids to the now mar- ket. The latter 's flowers are from plants carried over a second year. Mr. Boper's new seedling, Chester Eoper, continues to produce heavily. From 2,400 plants he has averaged over 2,500 flowers per week for the past ten weeks. W. N. Craig. ST. LOUIS. The Market. The past week there was little change from the last report. The weather has been cool, showing frost in the morn- ings, but not enough for any damage in this locality. This does not seem to help the retail business and another dull week will have to be reported. The commission men are still receiv- ing an abundance of fine stock in roses, carnations and bulbous material. The latter is a great glut and at the rate it is coming in very little will be had for Easter. Narcissi and lilac from the south have increased the supply at the wholesale houses. Good roses were sold below the quo- tations. Brides and Maids are very plentiful. Golden Gates, Meteors, Perles and Beauties in all grades can be had in large quantities at any of the whole- sale houses. The best of these are sent in by Vesey, Ammann, Canfield and Wil- cox. If the supply and quality as it is at present will be the same at Easter we will all be happy. Extra fine stock in carnations is noted at this writing, with the best as low as $2.50 per hundred. All varieties are plentiful. Lawson, Enchantress, Estelle and any good white have the call. Poor stock is going to waste in big lots. Vio- lets are all gone, none to be had at any of the wholesalers'. Sweet peas are coming in more plentifully and the chance is good for a big supply for Eas- ter. The supply of Dutch bulbous stock is larger than ever. This stock is sell- ing very slowly. Von Sions are down to $2 per hundred, with Harrisii and cal- las at your own price, tulips and Paper Whites also. Dutch hyacinths are a glut. Most of the growers think that this stock will be almost cut out by Easter. The plant trade among the west end florists is reported good, all their show houses being filled with extra fine bloom- ing stock, spirffias, rhododendrons, hybrid roses, bulbous stock in pots and pans, and hydrangeas. Union Market stands are also showing blooming plants of all kinds. In this line business is reported as fine. Various Notes. Arnold Ringier, representing W. W. Barnard & Co., spent a few days with the trade the past week on his way home from 'Frisco. He reports a very suc- cessful trip. George M. Kellogg, of Pleasant Hill, Mo., spent a day with us the past week. C. Young & Sons Co. is making a great show of Harrisii lilies in full bloom at the downtown store. They report the plant and seed department very busy. George Angermueller, the new whole- saler, reports satisfactory trade the first week, with plenty of good stock to sup- ply the demand. Henry Berning has been sick abed the past week. I'rom last reports he was improving. Charlie Kuehn and Frank Ellis report quite a lot of shipping orders in for Easter. Supply orders are also numer- ous. The Florists' Club meeting this week Thursday promises to be well attended. Carl Beyer has been laid up for ten days with a sprained leg. The lay-up cost Carl about twenty pounds of flesh. The bowling league has closed and the florists who took part all had good averages. A. Y. Ellison, with 174, leads. Next in order is Beneke, 163; Kuehn, 162, and Carl Beyer, 160. They will now bowl every Monday night with the Flo- rists' Club. A. Jablonsky, at Wellston, has a fine supply of blooming Easter stock. Henry Ostertag was all smiles after Tuesday's election. He says everything is coming his way. Business at his place he reports as fairly good during this Lenten season. Quite a number of the florists served as judges during the election on last Tuesday. Among them were Chas. A. Juengel, C. C. Sanders, Theo. Miller, Will KaJisch, Bobt. Beyer, George Wind- ier and J, J. Beneke. The vote stands four democrats and three republicans. H. Weber & Sons, C. C. Sanders and H. W. Schuette report heavy orders for tree planting. J. H. Billington has sold his place on Easton avenue to Joe Hensel, who has a store at Taylor and Olive streets and will run both places. Mr. Billington will soon leave for Washington, where he has secured a position in the Agricultural Department. Mrs. A. Berdan, wife of the well known florist at Kirkwood, has a very bad at- tack of paralysis. Mrs. Berdan is over 70 years of age and a complete recovery is very uncertain. Mr. Berdan, who is one of our oldest florists, has the sympa- thy of the trade. Bowling. Team No. 1. Ist 2d 3d T'l Beneke 179 126 186 491 Miller 158 200 156 514 F. Melnhardt 155 113 114 382 Ed.

B. SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS. Execative Committee Meeting. The executive committee of the Society of American Florists convened at the New Willard Hotel, Washington, D. C, on April 4. Vice-President J. B. Free- man, of Washington, presided over the several sessions in the absence of the president. The members of the execu- tive committee present were H. B. Beatty, of Pittsburg, treasurer; W. J. Stewart, of Boston, secretary; Theodore Wirth, Hartford, Conn.; W. H. Elliott, Brighton, Mass.; E. V. Hallock, Queens, N. Y., and H. M. Altick, of Dayton, 0. Retiring president Philip Breitmeyer, De- troit, was also present, as were ex-Presi- dents Wm. B. Smith and Wm. F. Gude, of Washington. The latter is now presi- dent of the Washington Florists' Club and in general charge of the arrange- ments for the entertainment of the so- ciety when it meets for its twenty-first time. The committee selected August 15 to 18 as the dates for the convention. The opening session will take place on the afternoon of Tuesday and that evening will be given to the usual reception. Nomination of officers and the selection of a place of meeting for 1906 will occur on Wednesday and on Friday the election will take place. The fourth day will probably see the bowling contests. Arrangements were made with regard to the trade exhibit, which promises to be considerably the largest the society has ever seen, because of the convention being close to the cities in which those who have previously been the large ex- hibitors are doing business. The executive committee was enter- tained at dinner at the New Willard on the evening of April 5, among the guests being- several of the chiefs of staff at the Department of Agriculture.

The Weekly Rorists^ Review. J235 PHILADELPHIA. The Market The conditions in the cut flower market are improving a little, with good pros- pects for the last fortnight of the month. Boses are plentiful and prices low but averaging a trifle better than a week ago. A^ut the same conditions appear in the carnation centers. The expected advance is not liksly to come before next week and then it is not likely to be as pronounced as usual. Single violets are about over. Doubles are expected to hold out until Easter, but it depends on the weather and in any event they will not be plentiful. A goodly quantity of tulips and daffo- dils is sold, but at awfully low prices. The warm ^feather has brought lilies in that were intended for later. Call as are also too numerous at present. The nov- elties are some superb Dendrobium Jamesonii sent by Alphonse Pericat, the well known orchid specialist, to S. S. Pennock, and lavender sweet peas at E. Bernheimer 's. The first cornflowers, blue and white, were at the Bellevue-Strat- ford, J. J. Habermehl's Sons. They came from S. S. Pennock. Sharon Hill. Competent judges believe that the largest stock of Easter lilies in or near Philadelphia this season is to be found at Robert Scott & Son's. Their stock of Japan-grown longiflorums is in fine condition, of good height, clean, with good foliage. The plants are graded and in different temperatures to secure uniformity in flowering for next week. Their stock of Crimson Ramblers is as handsome as could oe desired, both in the large and medium sizes. The third section of the Easter division is com- posed of the hybrid roses in pots, Ulrieh Brunner, Magna Charta and American Beauty. The latter is something of a novelty at this time. The plants are two years old, forced until the holidays, cut back, dug up and potted. They are now full of buds. Mr. Scott sold one firm 1,500 of these plants some time ago for spring sales. His attention had been drawn to the possibilities of the Beauty outdoors two years ago by a large bed at Willow Grove in full bloom in August. The gardenia constitutes the fourth section, a fine lot of plants full of buds showing to advantage. Mr. Scott's am- bition to be able to cut gardenias in quantity from Thanksgiving day until the end of the season seems rapidly Hear- ing realization. Adiantum Croweanum is planted in two long narrow houses and is prized as a "doer." Beside it are some plants of its graceful taller growing sister, robust and vigorous. Kaiserin Augusta Victoria is most prominent today among the forcing roses. There is a house for today full of bloom, a house for next week and a house for the week after, all in good shape. The one-year-old Kaiserins are staked but not so the two-year-olds. The old plan of using the space for some other crop in winter has been aban- doned, the plants being rested where they are to flower. Liberty is being grown right along, instead of cropped for Easter as before. Beauty has done well. Grafted Brides and Maids are full of vigor. One large house is de- voted to a fine lot of young roses and a number of smaller ones to miscellaneous plants, geraniums, chrysanthemums, etc. Win.F.Gtjde. (PreBldent Washington Florists' Club.) A new house mentioned in the Review some weeks ago is well under way and it is expected will be completed in June. It is designed on the Briarcliff-Edgely ideas, at a carefully considered angle, 180x154 feet, of Lord & Burnham ma- terial, and will be planted with 5,000 Beauties. Most of the stock of this place is distributed by Samuel S. Pen- nock and Edward Reid. Bowling. Two teams of three players each re- cently contested a spirited series of the best three in five games for bowling supremacy. One team was composed of three brothers, Leo, Arthur A. and Frank Niessen. The players opposing them were Clarence J. "Watson, Ralph G. Slieig- ley and John Wilson. The hand of vic- tory on the compass score sheet turned from N. and pointed directly at W. S. W. Messrs. Watson, Sheigley and Wilson will be happy to bowl any trio of florists in the city. Various Notes. George Burton has sent the Leo Nies- sen Co. nearly 50,000 Meteors from a single house about 25x150 so far this season. The Floral Exchange received first prizes for Queen of Edgely, Golden Gate and Ivory at the rose show. Edward A. Stroud has a system of bookkeeping at the Strafford Flower Farm by which he can tell at any time just how each variety of carnation pays. A prominent salesman on being asked who was the largest buyer of cut flow- ers in this city today, instantly replied, ' ' Davis. ' ' A well known wholesaler, on opening a consignment during the glut, found a slip- marked : ' ' These carnations must bring $3 a hundred straight." He re- plied: "Would not consider an offer below $5 a hundred." Reading G. Palmer, the well known grower of Brides and Maids, has given up his place at Doylestown and retired from the ranks. A. Farenwald, of Hillside, has two of the prettiest houses of Beauties one could wish to see. The plants have been cut back and are now a sheet of buds. The average is at least ten buds to each plant, borne on stout stems of medium length. The Liberties, which comprise five-sixths of the place, have maintained their owner's high standard throughout the season. They are still in good con- dition, producing a goodly number of "specials." Hugh Graham has probably the finest lot of hyacinths offered for the Easter market. William Warner Harper is making ■ p^^^'v»%vTKj7-^.'jt'.*.y_l^ r' 1236 The Weekly Florists' Review* April 13, 1906. the name of the Andorra Nurseries popu- lar all over the country. M. Rice & Co. 's facilities are being taxed to their utmost getting their Easter orders off. They just received one of the largest importations of chiffon bands ever brought to this country. John F. Andre, of Doylestown, has re- ceived six letters of inquiry regarding his new white rose, described in the Review of March 16. Wait a little, gentlemen! Too much attention may spoil a young- ster, even though he be a real sport. One of the brightest of our visitors from Holland remarks that rebuilding greenhouses is bad for bulb sales. There's a fact in a nutshell. Herbert Baker has been growing some good Beauties at J. Henry Bartram's. Henry J. Faust, of Merion, has a very nice lot of lilies for Easter. H. Bayersdorfer & Co. have a good thing in their twig nests, which the flo- rists have been quick to appreciate. To all appearances their business has been extraordinarily heavy this Easter. The Henry A. Dreer Co. experienced the largest day in the history of their seed house recently. The Leo Niessen Co. expects to have enough lilies to meet the demand. They believe good carnations will be in fair supply. A department store is offering Ameri- can Beauties, rose plants, cut back, eyes just starting, at "two for a quarter." They are said to have come from Chi- cago. Hugh Graham has one of the largest if not the largest stock of azaleas about this city. William J. Baker is receiving fine •white daisies from A. & G. Rosbach, of Pemberton, and white and yellow dai- sies from Theodore Edwards, of Bridge- ton, N. J. Joseph I. Black's Sons, Heightstown, N. J., are sending some nice carnations to the Flower Market. William J. Muth states that the Phila- delphia Cut Flower Co. will be strong in Kaiserins for Easter. Phil. CHICAGO. The Market A notable feature of the market this season is its resilience, an attribute with which it has never before been attributed and one which keeps the wholesalers on the alert that they be not caught nap- ping by the change in either direction. Heretofore when the market was once down it staid there for some time, but this season there comes a depressing day, or series of them, and then the rebound comes with unexpected suddenness, stock cleans up and prices, if low, are at least stable. Such was the experience at the close of last week. Wednesday was one of the poorest days this season, with a large stock carried over, which Thursday did nothing to relieve, but on Friday from an almost breaking strain the mar- ket sprang back to a condition of fair activity. This week started with reduced re- ceipts, particularly in tea roses. There are still rather too many long Beauties for the legitimate demand, but the con- dition is not so bad as it was a week ago. Teas are a trifle soft and smaller. Some splendid Chatenay are offered. Liberty is not in so large supply. There is not much let-up to the steady influx of carnations but the demand has taken all in sight at moderate prices the past few days. It has come so that the growers expect a low place in the middle of the week and in a measure regulate their shipments accordingly. Quality is very good. There are fewer tulips but still the buckets of single whites obstruct the counters. The outdoor stock will be along soon; indeed, outdoor narcissi are now received so heavily that it is im- possible to clean up one shipment before another arrives. Lilac is coming but is not good. Harrisii lilies are abundant and selling slowly. Callas continue a glut. Sweet peas are doing fairly well. Single violets are not often seen. Doubles show the lateness of the season. Valley has shortened in supply. Green goods, especially smilax, are more plentiful but not in so large de- mand as a fortnight ago. For the first time in years the price of common ferns is weakening as Easter approaches. Bulbous Stock. The- cooler weather of the past few days has been very welcome to the grow- ers of bulbous stuff. Temperatures have been down to normal, or below, except on Sunday, which was hot, and Dutch bulbs have advanced but little, which has im- proved the prospect for an Easter sup- ply. Stollery Bros, report hyacinths de- signed for Easter as having pretty much come into flower and been sold, but tulips are going to be all right. Sam Pearce also has a good supply of tulips in sight. With the Garfieid Park people all bulb stock is pretty well over, but they have a good lot of lilies, hydrangeas and other subjects. No May Moving. It looks as though moving day would go by with no changes in the wholesale market. Available locations are hard to flnd, and although rents in the wholesale district are becoming a matter for serious consideration, none of the wholesalers feels like breaking away and going out of the locality so long recognized as the cut flower center of the west. Early in the year L. A. Roy interviewed a num- ber of the wholesalers with regard to a florists' building. This is a project which has been up several times and which will go through when the right plan is presented. Mr. Roy has the Athenseum building, which is to be vacated May 1 and which he proposed to remodel for florists' purposes, making it up-to-date in every respect. The plan had several disadvantages. It is not so favorably located for transportation facilities, nor is it in a cheaper locality. Again, it is not large enough to accommodate all in the trade but Mr. Roy was told to come again when he had a larger structure and a location better suited to the needs of the trade. Various Notes. E. C. Amling is a believer in publicity ds applied to the cut flower business and he sees an evidence in its favor in the large number of new buyers who came in at once when word went out that the market was so heavily stocked that bar- gains were to be had on large lots of ' * our selection. ' ' He thinks that if whole- sale prices of cut flowers were quoted in the daily papers, the same as of fruits and vegetables, the public would buy heavily when stock is cheap just as they now buy fruits when they see the prices are within their reach. Bassett & Washburn have decided to put up a steel stack for their new cen- tral boiler plant. It is to be 150 feet high and eight feet six inches in diame- ter at the top. Steel costs a little more than brick but has several advantages and only one disadvantage, that it should be painted inside and out every year or two. Harry Papworth, of New Orleans, has been in town this week. He is figuring on putting up a range of sixteen green- houses for cut flowers in the Crescent City and has visited the big growers to study their plants and called on the builders to study their plans and esti- mates. A. C. Kohlbrand, of Amling 's, was called to Cincinnati Monday, with his family, by the death of his father. The rule against flowers in the city council chamber was amended at the last meeting to permit of testimonials to the new mayor and city clerk. The display was not nearly so large as on some pre- vious occasions, because flowers for alder- men were barred, but a good many big pieces were seen. In spite of the very big glut of callas lately one grower says that he has taken 80 cents per plant off of his bench of callas. They brought good money for a long time early in the season. Sol. Garland has a white sport of En- chantress of which he proposes to work_ up stock as fast as possible. Jacob Schurer, 2291 Mozart street, was struck by a Lincoln avenue electric car one night last week and quite badly injured. Wietor Bros, have become possessed of the desire to dabble in new Toses and have ordered a lot of European novelties. One good one pays for a lot of disap- pointment. Henry Philips, in Rogers Park, has eight houses in roses, only three varie- ties, Chatenay, Ivory and Maid. Of the former he is cutting some extra stock. He ships to E. H. Hunt. The society columns of the daily pa- pers are full of announcements of spring weddings and a good many orders for decorations after Easter are already booked by the leading retailers. H. Bauske is sending the A. L. Randall Co. the first of a very fine crop of Lib- erties which he expects to see hold out for Easter. Geo. F. Crabb was over from Grand Rapids last week taking Easter orders. Carl Thomas, of the A. L. Randall Co., is counting on a visit to his old home in Pennsylvania after Easter to recuperate. He has not been feeling well for many weeks. A. Dietseh, who has, as usual, spent the winter in Mexico, has started home- ward by easy stages but will not reach Chicago much before June 1. The greenhouse builders around Chica- go are now nearly all using galvanized nails to guard against rust. L. Baumann, the supply man, is plan- ning a three months' European trip, combining business and a honeymoon. C. H. Fisk is building some apart- ments above his store on the west side. The express drivers are threatening trouble again. Regular Florists' Club meeting to- night. We can't afford to lose the Bivixw; it is "it." — ^Robert Schultz, Madison, N. J. Apbil 13, 1905.

The Market Cool weather the past week retarded spring planting, kept the cut flower mar- ket in a stagnant condition and piled the ic3 boxes and the wholesale stores with stock which at times was hard to move at any sacrifice. Stock is of ex- cellent quality in all lines and the indi- cations point to an abundant supply for Easter. It is probable that the present average of values- will hold during the week, but will begin to improve by Sat- urday and gradually advance to reason- able figures by Easter. Arbutus again disputes with violets the attention of the sidewalk merchants, and their number this year is legion. These buyers are now looked upon as a god- send by the overwhelmed wholesalers, who depend upon this class entirely for the cleaning up and closing out feature of their unique business. The south still sends its daffodils in shoals and lilacs next will crowd the local supply to the wall. It is a peaceful invasion from Dixie, but it conquers the home product and opens the eyes of the bulb growers around us. Violets have completely lost prestige. The streets are blue with them, and so must be the men who grow them when re- turns of late come in; $1 per thousand looks high some mornings for the rem- nants of the night before. There may be hardly any viohts for Easter. Some fine valley is seen that calls for 4 cents, but there isn't much of it. Smi- lax is scarce and so is wild smilax. Roses have evidently decided to assert them- selves, bftth as to quality and quantity, seldom finer and never more plentiful. Carnations are in the same boat. The orchid men are not complaining except as to lack of supply. There will be a scarcity for Easter. The taste for orchids is spreading. All the big cities are sending for them and some of tne little ones. We look for no exorbitant prices for anything at Easter, no pickling and a good, fair, happy and paying experience for everyone, wholesaler and retailer, in every department of the business. It is certainly due after so poor a winter sea- son. Florists* Club Meeting. About forty members were present at the club meeting Monday night. Presi- dent Tracndly in the iehair. Prof. W. G. Johnson was elected a member of the club and :Mr. Dreyer, Jr., proposed. An interesting discussion as to a change in the by-laws was participated in by many members. The exhibit of blooming plants was one of the best ever seen in the club- rooms and met with the approbation of every member. Hearty votes of thanks were accorded the exhibitors. The com- mittee on awards, through Chairman O'Mara, announced for the Hinode Co. 's exhibit of Crimson Ramblers a certifi- cate of excellence for culture. Several grand plants were staged, one in the form of a basket, and two large bush plants. Mr. Dupuy, of Whitestone, was ac- corded a certificate of excellence for cul- ture on his ericas, acacias, lilacs, mar- guerites, blue hydrangeas and Babv Ramblers. A certificate of merit was given for Crassula eoecinea. Mr. Dupuy 's whole display was of rare interest.

DeVoy & Son, of Pough- kcepsie, for their new geranium, Tele- graph, a fine specimen plant in an 8-inch I)ot having been brought to the meeting by Mr. DeVoy, Jr. An award of excellence for culture was given Pankok & Schumacher, of White- stone, for a magnificent specimen bou- gainvillea. Mr. DeVoy spoke for Telegraph, saying that as a beddcr and greenhouse plant in its class it had never been, equaled. Notwithstanding the difficulty of carry- ing so large a plant it arrived in perfect condition. Mr. Dupuy gave a very in- teresting address concerning his exten- sive exhibit and at considerable length dilated upon the blue hydrangea, which he grows in soil imported for the pur- pose, and of crassula. which from one plant brought over from France six years ago he now has a stock of over 6,000. President Traendly ad<]res8ed the club on the exclusion of children from the greenhouses in Prospect park, Brook- lyn, which he called an outrage and a committee was appointed to draw up a protest to the parK authorities. From the question box the first query was : ' ' Why are carnation growers more progressive than rose gowersf" C. W. Ward, who had been appointed by the president to address the club on the sub- ject, was out of the city and made his Kelsey's Green and Bronze Galax Leaves A large stock in original cases in cold storage, and can be supplied throughout the summer.

The letter was full of humor and most interesting. A long dis- cussion followed. The second question, "Is floriculture as far advanced in the United States as in Europe," was answered in the nega- tive by Jas. T. Scott, of Tarrytown, who read a most interesting paper on the subject. The next session of the club, the sec- ond Monday evening in May, will be bedding plant night and under the super- vision and coaching of John Birnie. Apbil 13, lOOS.

Fenrich was married April 5 to the charming daughter of the veteran, Le Moult, of th3 Bowery, one of the pioneer retail florists of New York. It is a happy union of wholesale and retail interests. Capt. Fenrich is overwhelmed with congratulations. David Clarke's Sons are already in shipshape for Easter, thoir six houses at Fordham Heights supplying them with blooming plants in abundance. Their big store is a bower of beauty. The La France rose is still a standby here. Alex. J. Guttman reports many orders for cuttings of Carnation Victory. It grows in popularity. He will have sev- eral thousand violet plants as usual for Easter. Ford Bros, have some grand margue- rites and other plants in their now store for Easter and are preparing for a big shipping trade. Their new quart?rs please them greatly and will make a permanent home for a score of years. Traendly & Schenck have had a ban- ner year. Their claim holds good that never sines their business began, except in sickness or absence from the city, have they failed to be on deck at 7 a. m. James McManus has proven during the past year the value of enterprising ad- vertising. He is known as the orchid king from Maine to California and is shipping cut orchids to every big city in the country. James T. Hammond will have his usual supply of orange trees for Easter. John J. Perkins is celebrating his thirty-third Easter in the cut flower business and bids fair to hold the fort for another generation. Wm. Ghormley is receiving tremendous quantities of stock. The year has been a wonderful one in the aggregate. Few would care to count the number of flow- ers of every kind he handles in a season. He has fully recovered his health. J. K. Allen grows younger as the Easters come and go. For a score of years 6 a. m. has found him at his post. I ex- pect to write about him in 1950. Reed & Keller are tremendously busy. They report the call for novelties more insistent than ever. James Hart has the record, thirty- four years of wholesale cut flower busi- ness in New York. He ships to many out-of-town patrons who were on his books a quarter of a century ago. James Jr. is a fine lieutenant and popular. N. Lecakes will soon be back from Athens with his Grecian bride. Meantime John Foley manages the combined inter- ests with commendable ability. Wm. H. Gunther is happy in the re- turn of his brother, Jack, in time for the Easter trade. The blooming plants at Charles ]Mill- ang's hardly have time to get warm be- fore they have to march out to fill New York retailers' orders and yet the big conservatory is always full. The cut flower department maintains its place, however, as usual. The F. R. Pierson Co. is having a won- derful carnation season, the demand for their many superb novelties far exceed- ing their expectations. Their new fern, Tarrytown elegantissima. is now in the market and its beauty is universally ac- knowledged. The Clucas & Boddington Co. reports a busy spring and the large warehouse is full of goods and workers. Mr. Clucas says the nursery gives promise of wonder- ful development and has a great future. Henry A. Stone, the violet specialist of Kingston, was in the city Saturday. He has the largest violet house in this country, 25x250. Young & Nugent handle his shipments. J. B. Nugent, Sr., celebrated his eighty- third birthday on Saturday evening, a large number of his friends in the trade joining in the reception. Mr. Nugent is still hale and hearty and enjoys the honor of being the oldest active florist in New York City if not in America. A. C. Zvolanek, of Grand View, N. J., the sweet pea grower, visited his whole- saler, J. K. Allen, last week and con- summated the christening of his new va- rieties, in which honor Mr. Allen and his faithful lieutenant were not forgot- ten. Messrs. "Welch and Edgar, the poten- tates from Boston, were also here, Arthur Cowee, the gladiolus grower, and Mr. Clements, one of Pittsburg 's retailers. Carl Jurgens, Jr., of Newport, passed through on his way to Washington, where he was married on Monday. The Parker-Bruen Co. find the open- ing of their new office at 1133 Broadway a great convenience for themselves and their customers. Schloss Bros, and Lion & Wertheimer report a big trade in Easter ribbons. John Young will have 10,000 lily plants for Easter and, as usual, the Cot- tage Gardens output of carnations. Rob- ert Craig holding the front of the pre- cession.

Geller as directors and Sigmund Geller as man- ager. The Sigmund Geller stock was sold at auction last weeBlT At Miller's auction rooms last week ten shares of the Fleischman Co. were sold at $5 a share. A small tornado visited Westfield, N. J., on Friday and in its path were the greenhouses of J. D. Woodruff, through two of which it cut an opening fifteen feet wide. Quite a ripple in the retail sea came on Friday in the Barney-Alexander wed- ding, the most elaborate of th3 month. The Eosary and Thorley did the church and home decorations. The retail stores are already beautiful with the profusion of Easter stock. There is one thing sura. If ever there was a plant Easter this one will b3 pre-eminent, and never was there a grander supply to select from than is afforded by the skilled plantsmen in and around New York. Hardly a thing of value in bloom has been left unsold. Lilies are still a problem, so much depending on the weather and the supply. The top price seems fixed at 12 cents. R. Dreyer's new plant between Wood- side and Corona already covers 25,000 square feet and is yet in its infancy. In the center of twenty acres of splen- did land, only four miles from Thirty- fourth street ferry, there is no telling where this enterprise will end. The stock of Easter plants here and at Wood- side, in the old place, is enormous. Moore, Hentz & Nash are again receiv- ing fine Queen of Edgely roses. Only four bowlers showed up for prac- tice last Monday. J. Austin Shaw. PITTSBURG. The Market There was some improvement in busi- ness the past week and the cooler weather cut down the supply slightly. Car- nations seem to have shortened up con- siderably and today, Monday, there seems to ba a shortage. Heavy HaiL We had a severe hail storm Monday which seems to have covered this whole section and did a great deal of damage. It sounds like a big story but the hail looked like snowballs when they broke on the ground. Most of our greenhouse men suffered some loss. A. W. Smith lost about 4,000 lights. Geddis & Blind Brothers lost tfiost of tha glass in a 100- foot house attached to their south side store. At Schenley conservatories about one-fifth of the glass is gone, with some damage to the &ster flower show. Ran- dolph & McClements report about 6,000 lights gone in the Forbes street houses and some in the Highland avenue houses. John Bader reports a slight loss. Among the private places hit are those of H. C. Frick and A. R. Peacock. It was the worst storm since May, 1893, when a number of our people were wiped ent of existence. E. C. Reineman lost all of his glass at that time. Various Notes. One of Mr. Burki's drivers was too clos^ to a post that was struck by light- ning the morning of the storm and the hors3S and driver were knocked down, but excepting the shock were not injured. The Florists' Club met last Tuesday evening; subject for discussion, Easter plants. It was a very interesting meet- ing. H. Blind & Brothers had pans of tulips and some other Easter plant ar- rangements which were very attractive. Bayersdorfer & Co., of Philadelphia, made a grand display of baskets and Eas- ter novelties which attracted consider- able attention. The Valley Greenhouse Co. had some very fine pot lilies. John Bader had a specially fine display of azaleas. Supt. Geo. Burke, of Schenley park, sent in a grand display of bulbous stock which covered one entire side of the hall. Our club meetings are very well attended and every meeting is an interesting one. Members who cannot find time to attend anything but the smokers and social affairs are missing much and are liable to get behind the times. The Pittsburg Florists' Exchange, which has been located on the second floor at 228 Diamond street, has leased the entire building and has remodeled the street floor for its occupancy. They have built a new and very large refrig- erator. The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. reports a good call for green goods, which are none too plentiful in this market at present. Hoo-Hoo.

A New York report says that while the glass market is only moderately ac- tive, it is in a strong position which in- dicates that there will be no surplus glass after the present fire. This is at variance with reports in Chicago. Glass prices, which usually advance as spring and the end of the fire approach, are this year showing still further recession in April. Glass is cheaper now than it was two weeks ago and there is no immediate prospect of an advance. There are large supplies of greenhouse sizes, the only exception, being 20-inch glass, which is worth a little more money. One report says the cause of the pres- ent weakness of the market is a story to the effect that the American Window Glass Co., commonly called the trust, has its glass blowing machine now per- fected and making window glass in greenhouse sizes. At first the machines only made the 8x12 and 10x12 sizes, but they are steadily making larger glass. It is reported that with the machines glass production will continue all sum- mer, an extra price being paid to the flatteners and cutters to keep the fac- tories running. If this is true not only may cheap glass be looked for this sum- mer, but cheaper glass in years to come. WELL SATISFIED.

Caliix)rnia has not in years been so well cleaned up on reed stocks as at present. Caladiums have moved out at a great rate the past fortnight and many stocks are well cleaned up. Arnold Ringier, of W. W. Barnard & Co., Chicago, has returned from a trip to the Pacific coast. The Vegetable Growers' Association of Ontario was organized March 25. W. C. Emory, of Aldershot, is president. The mail order seed houses report business to date well ahead of last year, but the season is fully three weeks early. The Vilmorins of Paris, and Jas. H. Veitch, of London, were elected honorary members of the Massachusetts Horticul- tural Society April 1. Stock seed of peas and beans are now being forwarded to the growing points. Contracting with the farmers is about completed and the sowing of peas •will soon begin. In Great Britain the pharmacy act against the sale of poisons is held to ap- ply to insecticides containing nicotine or other poisons and leading seed houses have recently been fined for violations. There is no end to the sale of onion Beed^ and no beginning to the sale of seed potatoes. Onions will be low next year and potatoes high. There is yet time for the wise grower to get in line. Seed for onion sets is going into the ground rapidly in the vicinity of Chi- cago. It looks at present as though the work of sowing will be finished this year earlier than the date at which it was begun last season. It is said that Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, a general mail order house, contemplate securing properly equipped greenhouses and grounds in order to add plants and nursery stock to their seed department the coming year. The Leonard Seed Co. reports the market garden trade at Chicago far ahead of last year. It oegan with a rush about the middle of January and has continued unusually brisk up to the present, with no apparent falling off in sight. A SEEDSMAN wlio reads books during his vacation says: "Counter trade suf- fers during the cool days that work themselves in between the bright warm ones in the springtime, but the lull oc- casioned by this is to the seedsman as the oasis is to the traveler in the desert. ' ' A GROWING field for the seedsman catering to market gardeners is in south- ern Texas. J. K. Robertson says it is a safe prophesy that within a season or two the Beeville section alone will ship north during the season solid cars of onions, radishes, beets, lettuce, turnips, spinach and other "bunch" crops.

Reports from all sections up to date show business considerably ahead of last year. The phenomenal trade during the last half of March is given credit for this. The onion set jobbers report sales at the tail end of the season as active as at the beginning. Two weeks ago we in- timated in this column that the effort to clean up at the more southern centers had a tendency to lower prices some- what. The steady demand, however, kept the bottom from falling out and the prices have rested at $2 per bushel for red and yellow, and $2.50 for whites. A NOTICEABLE feature ifi the trade this year is the great increase in the Cana- dian demand for onion sets. De Giorgi Brothers, 81 Dearborn ave- nue, Chicago, is a new seed firm. They aim to reach the Bohemian farmers of the central and northwestern states. They issue their catalogue in the Bohe- mian language and report that the ven- ture is meeting with much success, the only drawback being inability to keep up with the orders, many of which call for seed miscellanies not usually car- ried in quantity on this side of the ocean.

It is a general report that gladioli have been in stronger demand than usual this spring. The same report comes from Holland. Seed jobbers generally report the shelves emptier than they have been at this time of the year for many sea- sons. The smaller dealers throughout the country, it is reported, are still pass- ing in their orders for supplies. In a general way it seems as though 1905 should be a satisfactory year for all concerned.

Those who grow cabbages for seeds find it very necessary to exercise the greatest care to keep the types distinct, so that the crops may be uniform in character. If selections of seed parents are not made with the greatest care every year, the types lose their individ- uality, and degenerate; they come leafy and devoid of close, firm hearts. Cab- bage .seeds having to be grown in very large quantities, if the seed plants are not very carefully selected, there would naturally result deterioration and a mix- ture of characters; then there would be different forms, not so- much as a result of insect fertilization as a result of nat- ural deterioration. It is therefore very im- portant that a growing crop for seed be 1248 ThcWcckly Florists' Review. Apbil 18, 190S. carefully inspected on two or three oc- casions, and all inferior cabbages taken out, even if it should lead to the de- struction of one-half of the crop in order to secure a uniform type of the best character. It is found in practice that the roughest cabbages produce the great- est amount of seeds, which is an addi- tional reason for eliminating them from the crop. According to Richard Dean, in the Horticultural Trade Journal, the produce of cabbage seeds may range from five hundredweights to ten hundred- weights per acre according to the sea- son. ITALIAN SEEDS. An Italian correspondent of the Gar- deners' Chronicle sends the following from Naples: since the middle of November there has been a succession of hard frosts almost without Ic- termlsBion, and owing to their unusual severity during the past months they have caused great damage even to the less delicate plants. Cauliflower. — The breadths put out for seed- supply have specially suffered, and It Is an- ticipated that not more than a fourth of the plants win yield seed. Onion. — English seedsmen are so much de- pendent upon Italian growers for the Tripoli and Improved Silver-slilnned types, that they will regret to learn that the crop will be short all around. Garden Beans. — Here again will be a great shortage of crop, and no hope of Improvement. Flower Seeds. — The autumn sowing of these has Buffered severely, and any quotations of prices which may be made are for prompt or- ders, but without any guarantee as to the quantities to be supplied.

At its last meeting the American Peony Society arranged for a test of varieties in co-operation with Cornell University. A circular was issued, and printed in the Ebview at the time, inviting growers to send plants, the committee in charge con- sisting of John Craig, C. J. Maloy, John A. Charlton, J. F.

Fewkes, Newton Highlands, Mass 36 The committee now sends out the fol- lowing report of its work to date: •'Your committee Is pleased to state that au excellent beginning In the Important study out- lined above has been made. Soon after the an nouncement was issued, a brisk correspondence sprang up with peony growers regarding the scope and purpose of this comprehensive study. This resulted In securing, before cold weather arrived, a fine collection of plants — probably one of the largest ever got together, as will be aeen from the list below. The work has been materially aided by European peony grow- ers who have become Interested in the enter- prise mainly through the good offices of Presi- dent C. W. Ward, who has labored both Inde- fatlgably and effectively In the cause. The field chosen is a short distance from the site of the new State College of Agriculture. It Is about five hundred feet above I^kc Cayuga and slopea gently to the south, being protected by an elevated bluff and wooded land to the north. The soil la a light clay loam, us nearly uniform as it was possible to secure. A« each consignment arrived It was un- packed, the roots of the varletiCH described, classified alphabetically, and planted as prompt- ly >• possible. The first alphabetical scheme was soon filled up, and another one started. Had it been possible to secure the plants all at one time, a well systematized plan might haTe been carried out. However, the present arrangement will simply give the peony stu- dent a little more work. The plants were set, with crowns two Inches below the surface, in rows four feet apart and three feet apart In the row. As the roots were set, a planting record was made and a temporary wooden label assigned to each plant. Before freezing, the rows were corered wlQi a molcb of mucky soil or stable mannre. When the supply of the latter gave out, the mnck was used. So far as one can tell by early spring examination, the roots have wintered well. Intending contributors should forward con- signments promptly so that the plants set this spring may be placed on terms as even as pos- sible with those set last fall.

[Another Hardy Garden Book, by Helena Ruth- erford Ely; the Macmillan Co., New York.] Prompted no doubt by the success which attended her first venture into the fast developing field of gardening lit- erature, Mrs. Ely has written "An- other Hardy Garden Book" for the Macmillans. The title is something of a misnomer, as many of the things touched upon would have no place in a hardy garden, but both the author and the publisher may be pardoned for the desire to reap the advantage of a previ- ous success. And then, the present work is supplementary of the first, taking up subjects there neglected. In her preface Mrs. Ely says that she gives only the result of her own ex- periences in raising vegetables, fruits and flowers, and concludes by saying that "if it gives any help to those who are already cultivating their own gar- dens, or causes others to make a begin- ning in the fascinating art, its object will have been accomplished. ' ' If the book does either of these things, it is worthy of a good word by every one who is interested in a business way in extending the ancient art of gardening. In the introduction the author calls attention to a discovery her own: ' ' Most men who care for gardening de- vote themselves rather to the utilitarian side of the craft. They are deeply in- terested and generally successful in pro- ducing the finest vegetables and fruits, while flowers come as a .secondary con- sideration. A woman 'a heart in gar- dening is with her flowers and the rais- ing of vegetables is often a propitia- tory offering to the other members of the family. ' ' Possibly it is as a pro- pitiatory offering to the other sex that Mrs. Ely devotes the first chapter of her present volume to the vegetable gar- den. Other chapters deal with fruits, trees, perennials and other flowers, a garden of lilies and irises, autumn work in the flower garden and the flower garden in spring. There are half a hundred half- tone illustrations and something of in- terest on every page of the book. Detroit, Mich. — George W. Davis, who left home about a year ago while hard pressed by creditors, has returned. ^Irs. Davis has run the business during his absence and it did not lose anything by the change. fT!^^y^'^^:'j?iry'^ "W^ w» ,r^' ?'V7^ 1260 The Weekly Florists' Review. Apbil 13, 1906.

' ' If the florist should mildly remonstrate with her and call her attention to the fact that probably she did not remember to water it regularly, or it stood in a jardiniere of water without any drain- age, or it was kept completely away from air and sunlight, or there was too much gas in the room, or any other cause for its sickly appearance, which in many cases is very easy to discover, he general- ly gets himself in trouble, as the lady in- variably tells him she took entire care of the plant herself and observed all the rules regarding its good health. The up- shot of the entire proposition is that tne poor florist keeps the plant and the lady tells him she will call in a couple of weeks and take the rejuvenated specimen home. Generally with a muttered curse the poor florist takes the freak plant and puts it in his greenhouse and notes the fact that he already has several dozen in various degrees of decrepitude left there by his many customers for their recuscitation : Kentia palms with only a part of a leaf left, aspidistras well scissored at the ends, latanias much the worse for abuse, and various varieties of ferns the fronds of which are noticeable by their absence. All of these have small tags in the pots denoting from whom they were received and generally the date as well. In a couple of weeks my lady tele- phones and asks the florist to send up her plants, as she wants to use them for an afternoon tea and as they have been there several weeks already they must be almost as good as when she first re- ceived them. If she be a good customer the florist generally sends her good plants to replace the others and the next day she often telephones and thanks him for being such a clever plantsman and fur- ther wounds his sensitive feelings by tell- ing him that she knew that all that was necessary to have the plants revived thoroughly was to leave them for a few days with a man who thoroughly under- stood his business. One of the larger retailers in San Francisco who has a good trade among our wealthy ladies, has a small green- house set aside over the door of which he has a sign on which is painted the word "Hospital," It is almost entirely filled with all sorts of mistreated and maltreated plant life. He makes a small charge for keeping the plants and finds Carnation Cuttings NOW READY.

The ladies to whom the various articles belong often ask to see their plants and it is a good object lesson for them and calls to their attention the fact that it is easier to put a plant out of commission in two weeks than it is to restore it to anything like its former beauty in two years. G, SAN FRANCISCO. The Market Notwithstanding we are yet in the midst of the Lenten season business con- tinues very fair, although not quite as brisk as it was last week. Flowers of all kinds have become a shade more plen- tiful, although the price remains sta- tionary, as it undoubtedly will for a couple of weeks more. I do not think there will be any scarcity of Easter lilies this year, but the majority of the benches I have seen appear to be coming rather weak and short and as a consequence we are going to have a great amount of sec- ond quality flowers. Valley is in good supply but all other kinds of bulbous stock is out of season. Outside flow- ers are becoming more plentiful daily and before long will be a factor in the business. Various Notes. Domoto Bros, have handled a large quantity of tree peony flowers this sea- son. Elaborate preparations are being made to make the approaching flower show of the Menlo Park Horticultural Society the greatest in the history of the organiza- tion. It will open on May 5, Among the many exhibitors will be Sydney Clack, M, Lynch, P. C. Meyer, Jas, L, Flood, Timothy Hopkins, Joseph A.

The arrest of the keeper of a fashion- able boarding house over in Berkeley solved the problem of the party who had been despoiling the gardens and flower beds around the flnest houses in town.

Watrous, Des Moines; Seo'y, Qeo. 0. Bearer. Rochester; Treas., C. L. Yates. Rochester. The 29tb annual convention will be held at West Baden, Ind., June, 1905. The nurserymen are strong on Crim- son Rambler rose. Stocks of two-year cherry trees are reported as not large. There are many surplus offers of June budded peach for lining out. The Pleasant Grove Nurseries, Pleas- ant Grove, 111., are going out of business. The importations of European nursery stock have been coming to hand in first- class condition this season. The Huntsville "Wholesale Nursery re- ports the sale of 270,000 Kieffer pear two years old, in the fall of 1904 and spring of 1905. A PiiANTEai recently asked seven repre- sentative nurseries to recommend eight roses and in every reply Mrs. John Laing headed the list. There is a revival in interest in the Spitzenberg apple. It is not a good grower and it is recommended that it be top worked on vigorous stocks. The U. S. Department of Agriculture has published C. L. Marlatt's report on the gypsy moth, the result of investiga- tions near Boston, as circular No. 58, Bureau of Entomology. W. W. LiLLEY has bought a tract of land at Hankinson, N. D., and will do business as the Lilley Nursery Co. He will plant considerable stock this season and put a number of agents on the road next fall. Op all good apples for winter market few are equal to the Bhode Island Greening but the real article is becoming scarcer each year and the average nur- sery would have hard work to supply a hundred three-quarter inch trees to a planter. Those who decry the use of the Caro- lina poplar should inspect the row of trees along Stony Island avenue, Chicago, planted aa a part of the work of restora- tion after the World's Fair. They have reached a foot in caliper and are splen- did specimens of a very useful tree. The second annual report of the park commissioners of Lowell, Mass., is a most interesting volume. Besides park statis- tics it gives halt-tone views to show the great damage done by linemen and by neglect to the fine old elms of that city. By act of legislature the street trees have Ijeen placed under the care of the park officials. It is proposed to invite the American Association of Nurserymen, at its West Baden meetin,'x, to wrestle with the ques- tion of uniform grading of nursery stock. The Society of American Florists had the same question as applied to plants before it at St. Louis last sum- mer, but declined to tackle so large a ,iob. However, with many kinds of nurs- ery stock the point to be defined is noth- ing more than where to apply the cal- ipers. HARDY ROSES IN ILLINOIS. What hardy roses in red, white and pink are recommended for the climate of lUinbis? We are often asked this question by those who wish such plants for the cemetery, etc. They want va- rieties that will live and bloom with little attention. Is April the month for putting out when we have them in pots? C. M. B. I have grown the following varieties year after year in this climate with much success: Pink, Mrs. John Laing, Baroness Rothschild, Magna Charta and Mrs. E. G. Sharman-Crawford. Red, Alfred Colomb, General Jacqueminot, Ulrich Brunner and Marshall P. Wild- er. White, Merveille de Lyon, Mme. Plantier and Mabel Morrison. Rose, John Hopper, Anne de Diesbach and Paul Neyron. While the above are quite hardy any- where in Illinois, a little covering of leaves or other suitable material during the winter months is recommended. There are perhaps thirty or forty equally hardy varieties, but those enu- merated are among the best. In order to secure an abundance of bloom, prune these roses down to three or four eyes, as soon as the severe frosts are over in the spring. About May 5 is a good time to set out roses that have been kept in pots in the greenhouse. E. A. Kanst. THE NURSERYMAN LANDSCAPER A great many of the large retail nur- series have in recent years added land- scape departments and found them val- uable in many features of their business. In an address before the Chicago Archi- tectural Club Howard E. Weed, a land- scape architect, paid his compliments to the nurserymen landscapers, as follows: "It ia unfortunate that there are at the present time so many men engaged in the work of planting trees and shrubs who are entirely without training and whose knowledge of nursery stock is limited to the names of a few flowers. These gardeners can necessarily see no professional side to their work. Lacking any artistic training or appreciation of the beautiful, they look upon their work simply as a business proposition. Too often this may be said of nurserymen who attempt to do landscape work. The time is coming when a discriminating public will be very careful into whose hands they place the making of their surrounding landscape. The average estate owner knows practically nothing about trees and shrubs and has no means of knowing whether his landscape archi- tect is giving him his money's worth or 'holding him up.' "The nursery stock is ordered by the landscape architect, generally from va- rious nurseries, depending upon where the best stock of the different varieties can be obtained for the money. The landscape architect should make it his business to keep in touch with the stock of all the nurseries, paying^ each an an- nual visit. In this way he is able to save his clients considerable in the pur- chase of the nurserv stock and esneciallv to guard against the shipment of small or poorly grown stock. ' ' Omaha, Neb. — N. 0. Ward, formerly with the Union Pacific, has resigned to devote all his attention to his plant busi- ness at 717 Cook avenue. He will do- both a wholesale and retail trade.

April is usually too busy a month for the florist for him to give any attention to so remote a necessity as his next sea- son's coal supply. Still it is the month when the forehanded are able to save considerable money. Coal prices are usually at the lowest level during the month of April and steadily rise from that time until mid-winter. This year is no exception to the rule and April finds the open market affording bargains to those who are prepared to take in and pay for quantities. The bituminous coal mines of the middle west have had a poor season. There has been a surplus in the steam coal grades most of the winter and business in many cases has not been heavy enough to keep the mines running full time. With the summer season com- ing on nearly all jobbers are anxious to do business. Louisville, Ky. — Nic Beckley has succeeded to the business of his uncle, Chris Lichtmann. Houston, Tex. — T. F. Hudson had a very successful opening of his new store at 4617 Washington street, A{)ril 7.

Introduction 1905 There is nothing in the fern line that is as handsome as this beautiful fern when well grown. It is a wonderful improvement over Nephrolepis Piersoni in every respect both in regard to beauty and habit of growth. It is a sport from the Pierson Fern (Nephrolepis P*iersoni), but it is very much more beautiful and of greater value. It is as different from the Pierson Fern as that is from the Boston. The small side pinnse are again subdivided, producing an exquisite and beautiful effect, changing the entire character of the fronds, which measure less than half the length and about twice the breadth of the fronds of the Pierson Fern. The fronds also assume an entirely different form, the side pinnae standing at right angles to the mid-rib of the frond, on edge rather than flat, as is usual, making both sides of the frond equally beautiful— entirely different from any other fern. The Plant is very dwarf, only about half the height of the Pierson Fern, and of very much more compact habit. Taking it altogether it makes one of the most equisite plants and one of the most valuable for table and house decoration that has ever been introduced. The cut fronds, on account of their beauty, will be in great demand for table decoration. Well-grown plants make most magnificent specimens.

A decided lowering of the temperature, together with rains, put a check on stock and the market quickly went back to normal and some lines were short of demand. With the decrease in the supply of stock, prices and trade increased in pro- portion and everything is moving along very satisfactorily. Beauties suffered the largest decrease and prices raised to normal. Other varieties of roses are just about equal to the demand. There is a brisk demand for carnations and the price steadied a good deal. There were very few job lots and Saturday found all the wholesale houses cleared out. Bulb- ous stock goes much better and at ad- vanced prices. Lilies were shy at times. Good Dutch hyacinths sell best. There is a good demand for outdoor jonquils which continue to come in by the thou- sands. Violets from Virginia continue to ar- rive in large numbers and of good quali- ty but the sale for them is slow, as they are devoid of fragrance. Smilax sells well, as do all kinds of green goods. Asparagus of all kinds is scarce. Various Notes. Saturday was the regular meeting night of the Florists' Society but as no quorum was present the meeting was not held. All the growers were so busy hust- ling spring stock and getting ready for Easter that they could scarcely spare the time to attend the meeting. C. L. Baum, of Knoxville, Tenn., was a visitor. He is making a tour of some of the northern flower centers. A. C, Kohlbrand, of Amling's, Chica- go, is here, called by the death of his father. C. J. Ohmer. ORDERS BY WIRE. The advertisement in the Review sold all my rose stock by wire the first day. — J AS. C. MUKEAY, Peoria, 111. Please discontinue my advertisement of ferns; one insertion did the business. Before my own paper came from the of- fice a telegram arrived, saying, "Hold Boston ferns for me ; check on the way. ' ' So I had my money just four days from the time I penned the advertisement. That's good enough for me. — T. Q. Vat.t., Wellington, 0. We find the Eeview very satisfactory and would not want to be without it. — A. Massey, Elmhurst, Cal. Red Sport CARNATION.

Boses, carnations and bulbous stock are coming in large quantities, but are mov- ing along in good shape, as very little stock is left over. American Beauties are looking good. Kaiserins are look- ing fine. Perles are not up to standard, while Brides and Maids are first-class. There are some very fine Lawson, Bos- ton Market, Lady Bountiful, Mrs. Bradt and Enchantress carnations, which are bringing good prices. Calla lilies, Har- risii, hyacinths, tulips, jonquils, narcissi and Von Sions are selling well. Valley and violets are very scarce and command big prices. Plant stuff at present out- look will be scarce for Easter, and the indications point to an exceedingly brisk season. Varioos Notes. The shops are putting on their holi- day dress, notably those of W. L. Eock, Sam Murray, Lawrence Schwager, Miss Dalley and Miss Murray. Arthur Newell is doing a rushing business these days. His store is one of the handsomest on the street. Miss Clara Motter, with the Kansas City Floral Co., reports business as in- creasing and is placing large orders with the wholesale dealers for Easter novel- ties. D. Freudenthal is stocking up with some very fine plant stuff for the spring trade and reports business as increasing. Alfred Barbe is sending in some fine bulb stock and has some very good stock for spring market. Wm. Sharp, with Sam Murray, is showing some of the finest lilies to be seen in Kansas City and has the best hydrangeas and plant novelties. John Vesey, of Denver avenue, is in the market with some very fine H. P. roses and is disposing of them rapidly. The market these days is a very lively place, being well stocked with bedding stuff and all seem to do a rushing busi- ness. Narcissus. Washington C.

TELEGRAPH OR TELEPHONE. BALTIMORE, MD. The Market The demand keeps up fairly well for all kinds of cut flowers and the weather is all one could wish for. Considering the Lenten season, business has been fairly active and the wholesale demand is using up most all good flowers coming in. There really has not been what you might call a glut of any kind of flowers, with the exception of southern daffodils, which already have made their appearance in great quantities and put home-grown ones down below the cost of the bulbs, and they cannot all be moved, even at that, for the ones shipped from the south can be bought by the single thousand at $1.50, and less in large lots. Most of them are handled by the fakirs, but one of our large de- partment stores had them advertised in the daily papers for certain hours of the day at two dozen for 5 cents and all other hours at 5 cents per dozen. Both single and double violets are showing the effect of the warm weather and chances are that they will be done for by Easter. The retail stores and also the market men are making large displays of all kinds' of plants intended for Easter, for the recent warm weather brought quite a lot of them into bloom which could not be held back. But judging from the stock of a number of growers, there will be a good lot of Harrisii and other bulbous stock. Greens continue to be very scarce and smilax is out of the question. Various Notes. C. E. Smith & Co., 121 North Liberty street, have completed their new store ^'ront and also a fine conservatory in the rear of the store. They now have one of the most up-to-date ftores in the city. C. Erdmann, of Belair road, is going to build five new greenhouses 20x100 and will plant them in roses and carna- tions and general Easter stock, of which he already makes a specialty. A.

Their Two Grand New Carnations My Maryland and Jessica My Maryland t:^^'Z:^l'tt^, been exhibited freely at the various flower shows and florist club meetings the past fall and winter, and in every case elicited the highest praise and most favorable comment. We pick this variety to quickly and easily displace all other whites for flrst honors, not alone in exhibition, but in com- mercial points as well. We claim for it a robustness of con- stitution quite unequaled in any other variety and an ease of culture that will delight the heart of the grower. The great vigor of both parents (Norway x Lawson) seems united and improved upon in this variety. 1° I^CLCLIf^A ^^ have, in the red and white ^•vSSlvO variegated class, what My Mary- land will prove among white. It is descended through several generations of variegated seedlings of Helen Keller and Bradt extraction on the one side and Lawson on the other. A strong, thrifty growing variegated seedling bear- ing the seed. It is a trifle heavier in growth than My Maryland and just Lawson height. Aside from these dif- ferences and the color, the description of My Maryland applies to Jessica. Under favorable conditions four-inch blooms are not uncommon. We pick Jessica to win over any other variegated variety. Both of the above are free propagators. We are thoroughly familiar with them and know what they will do. We will be in a position to deliver stock early and on time, 'and assure the trade that no disappointments will result on that score. We have already booked many orders. It pays to be early. Orders booked are subject to cancellation by the buyer if unsatisfied with either variety up to the time tne cuttings are received. PRICE: $2.50 per doz.; $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per lOOO.

The Eevue de I'Hortieulture Beige for March gives a colored illustration and a description of this form of A. amcena. According to M. Van den Heede, this is the result of a cross between A. amoena Forsteriana and the variety A. indica known as Due Adolphe de Nassau. It appears that the hybrid is much used in Germany and in Belgium as a stock, but it has claims also upon the attention of horticulturists by reason of its rosy- carmine flowers larger than those of the ordinary amoena. Not only is the corolla colored, but the calyx also, so that the appearance is that of two flowers one within the other. A. Hexe crossed with Deutsche Perle and with oharles Enke has given origin to a whole series of hose- in-hose azaleas, the flowers of which last longer than in the case of the ordinary forms.

At Half Price Read The Reasons Given Natural Business Laws justify liiglier prices on Novelties than stiKk in normal demand and supply can command. An event unuaual ia that of a meritorious novelty— such aa appeals sensibly to all arrowers of JudRment— offered below half its normal price. Nevertheless, as tbe full time and attention of the Introducer are now fully demanded with other lines of his business, in plannluK to directly close out tbe limited balance of the originally grown stock of ADIANTOM CROWEANUM it is now on sale at less than half price. As a standard novelty the sterling values of this fern develop more and more daily, hence this oflering is no reflection on its true merits.

A project has been launched in Eng- land for a testimonial to the venerable Henry Eckford, than whom no one has done more toward the improvement of the sweet pea. The committee in charge has deemed it best to make the subscrip- tion a popular one, so as to have it the expression of appreciation of all who are alive to the value of the work of this wise old grower of one of our most wide- ly cultivated flowers. The fund is there- fore called a shilling one and all who care to do so are invited to send whatever Bum they please, from a shilling upward. The secretary is Horace J. Wright, 32 Doult road, Wandsworth, London. The first steps having been taken only on March 20, no American representative of the committee has yet been chosen. The names of W. Atlee Burpee and Rev. W. T. Hutchins are suggested. DON'T FORGET TO SIGN. The Review has recently received sev- eral of its printed subscription blanks returned with remittance but unsigned and in unprinted envelopes, so that, save in one or two cases where the postmark helped, it was impossible to determine who was the sender. These people are missing some good issues and they are blaming for it, either the Review or the postoflice, when neither is at fault. Don't forget to sign your name. Brighton, Mass. — Isaiah M.

The bulb-mite is the subject of an il- lustrated article in the March number of the. British Journal of the Board of Agri- culture. The bulb-mite, Rhizoglyphus echinopus attacks sound bulbs as well as those which are diseased. The measures recommended are — 1, to burn affected bulbs; or, 2, wash and spray every af- fected bulb with paraffin, repeating the operation after a fortnight; 3, wash the bulbs in sulphide of potassium (liver-of- Bulphur), one ounce to three gallons of water; 4, fumigation with bisulphide of carbon, in order to do which place the bulbs in an air-tight receptacle, and on the top of the bulbs put a saucer of the bisulphide and let the bulbs remain in the vapor for forty-eight hours. It must be remembered that the vapor is poison- ous and inflammable, so that no light of any description should be brought near the fluid. Carnation SSiS..

CHICAGO, ILL Mention The ReTlew when yoo write. A WATER HEATER. I have five greenhouses each 15x55 feet, eight feet to the ridge, and want to add another house 18x96 feet. The heating is by hot water, using a return tubular boiler thirty-six inches in diam- eter and ten feet long. There is now 1,500 feet of 4-inch pipe. Would the boiler be capable of carrying the new house at 45 degrees under Philadelphia weather conditions? J. C. F. As you do not give the number or diameter of the flues in your boiler I cannot estimate its heating capacity ac- curately. I have assumed that it is a normal tubular boiler, with 290 feet of heating surface. If this is correct, it is likely that the boiler will carry the ad- ditional house 18x96 feet without dan- ger, except in the most severe weather, when it will likely require close watching and careful firing with good fuel. You have a margin of 553 feet of radiation in the boiler at present and the new house will demand about 590 feet, which is a little more than the boiler should be expected to carry, but with good management it will undoubtedly do the work.

T notice that there is considerable in- terest in regard to boilers constructed of pipe and venture to describe a heater I have planned to build. I had thought of a furnace with a division of fire brick running back horizontally near- ly to the rear of the fire-box, dividing it iiato two parts, upper and lower, and causing the heat to travel as in a return- flue boiler, to the back of the space in the lower division and then forward in the upper section to the smoke stack over the front of the fire-box. Could I bring in the return pipe at the bottom, carry it back and up to the front of the upper division of the furnace, then back and down to the lower division, for- ward to the front and back and up through the upper division to the flow pipe at the upper front! This would make the water travel twice through both divisions of the fire-box. Would it be more practicable to be content with a single coil? How could I get a tight joint in the pipe? Would 10-inch tile do for the stack? C. L. W. I fail to see how it would be possible to make the design of a furnace in which the two return bends are used, give satisfaction. It is difficult to force hot water to make a return trip from a cooler to a hotter chamber, which would be necessary in that case. Further, I doubt if you could induce a flow of water through that length of pipe exposed to the action of the flames unless the pipe used be two or more inches in dianaeter, A large number of small (1^-inch) short pipes will accomplish the purpose better than the greater length and intri- cate coil. The second plan, when the return water enters the front of the fire-box over the fire and passes out at the front of the upper chamber near the smoke- stack, is more practicable. In both cases, however, it will be necessary to use mani- folds in order to get suflicient heating surface in the boiler to heat any con- siderable amount of greenhouse space. By placing the manifold to which the main return is connected just over the fire door, and either inside or outside the fire-box, and carrying each pipe through the front or out the top of the furnace into a second manifold, I believe you can make a satisfactory heater. If you use long screws and lock nuts with red lead instead of unions I do not believe you will have any difficulty in keeping the joints tight. The sewer pipe will be all right for the smokestack if it is in right proportion to the grate surface. You do not indicate the size or capacity of the furnace you intend constructing. It is therefore im- possible to say whether or not the 10-inch pipe will be adequate. If you intend constructing a pipe heat- er, would call your attention to the one figured in the Review of December 31, 1903, page 269. L. C. C. FiNDiAY, 0. — S. J.

AHT VARE FOR FLORISTS. Every florist who makes any preten- sion to doing decorating must be equipped with a stock of more or less ex- pensive and attractive art ware, ready for use when occasion demands. Indeeu, the leading retailers in the large cities carry large quantities of cut glass, china and art pottery and find it indispen- sable for many uses, in their customers' homes, in all sorts of decorations and in the show window; besides, a piece of no especial importance to the florist will often appeal to a customer's fancy and may be sold at a good profit. Among, the best for florists is the Flemish art pottery, not alone for its artistic value but for the fact that it is comparatively cheap. It is produced in small factories in Belgium and is beginning to find its way to this country in considerable quan- tities. The coloring is its greatest charm and appeals especially to those who use it with flowers. Many florists are using vases, etc., procured through E. A. Den- ham, New York, who is said to be the sole importer. Many of the pieces are decorated with landscapes, with quaint Flemish peasants in the foreground, per- haps, and with windmills scattered here and there, but the pieces do not need these occasional artificial aids in order to prevent them from being mistaken for the product of any other country, for each piece bears the unmistakable char- acteristics of the Flemish school of art, together with an air of individuality that comes from their being manufact- ured entirely by hand. FLOWERS BY TELEGRAPH. Put a neat sign in your window: "Fu- neral or gift flowers delivered by tele- graph anywhere in the United States."

Mention The ReTlew when yoo writ*. PECKY CYPRESS. The advancing cost of the ordinary grades of greenhouse bench lunfber and the desire for something which will not rot out in a couple of seasons have turned the attention of many large growers to pecky cypress, a material which has been on the market for many years but which has been looked at askance be- cause of its apparent imperfections. Bas- sett & Washburn, Hinsdale, 111., were the first, so far as known, to build green- house benches of pecky cypress but it has now been largely adopted by grow- ers around Chicago. Many of the big growers north of Chicago have for years bought their lumber of the Adam Schillo Lumber Co. and when the demand came for pecky cypress the Schillo Co. was called on to supply it. Last season they sold several car-loads and state that they now have orders for over 300,000 feet for delivery in June, July and August. That sounds like good business but they say they are not particularly pleased. Pecky cypress sells for only a little more than hemlock and lasts four or five times as long. The Schillo Co. says that it will mean that they can sell to their cus- tomerS much less frequently than before and the only way they can hold up the volume of their sales is to hunt up a lot more customers. ,^>^^^^ Cabds are received announcing the marriage of Joseph E.

The other is at Poughkeepsie, but the Bataria house is the larger. Plants are used at thirty-three stations on the west- ern division, at four on the Falls branch, twenty-seven on the Auburn branch and at about twenty-five on the R., W. & O. Work will commence in earnest about May 25. Mr. McGuire is allowed a spe- cial engine, with two baggage cars, and four assistants, besides the regular train crew. It takes him about three days to finish the western division, using 30,000 plants. On the E., W. & O. he also works about three days and uses 11,000 plants. The Batavia houses also send out a large quantity of ornamental shrubs, probably 8,000 each year, which are used in landscape work. ENGLISH HOLLY.

It is money saved, especially with the geraniums, if about May 1 you can plunge the pots on the bench in some light, easily handled material. If it is only halfway up the pot it is an im- mense help. Ashes or the compost of last year's hotbed are good but best of all is refuse hops which are well de- cayed. Only one half the watering is then necessary and that is a great sav- ing, and the sun can pour down on them to the plants' delight without parching the roots. This will apply also to can- nas, with their hungry roots crowded in a 4-inch pot, or any other of our fast growing bedding plants. Notice how the plants in the hotbeds grow and thrive in the blazing sun, largely because the pots are plunged. Tropical plants like coleus just stand still, or worse, if you drop firing before settled warm weather. The show pelargoniums, once so large- ly grown, will soon be opening their buds and are rather benefited by a very light shade, but the brightest sun and even neglect of water could not harm them so much as one cold, rainy night without fire heat and a little ventilation. The petals of the flowers will drop, the flower is gone and so is the plant, and months of work are ruined in a few hours. So Concluding this subject, do not let the fires go out and avoid shading wherever you can. Poinsettias. It will soon be time to start old plants of poinsettias for Christmas. Strong canes that have a foot of well ripened wood are what you want. Shake off the old soil and repot in a 4-inch poi. Cut off the green, unripe wood and start in a warm house, with a daily spraying. You will soon get cuttings. There are months ahead of us to propagate these showy plants for pans, even to the end of August, yet it is time soon to start the old plants going. William Scott. A aNCINNATI STORE. There is no city in the country where tlie leading retail florists -ire located so closely together as in Cincinnati. The result has been that each onn has niade special efforts to keep his sturo np-to- «late in every feature ami there is no city in whieli a higher or lev of retail establishments is to be found. Among the most progressive ef the crrtt't is Julius Baer, who has recently remove! into a new double store at 13S-4() ICast Fourth street, only a lew nserva:tories, Natick, Mass^ Planted with American Beauty, house running from 65 to 68 degrees nights. After two weeks in partial shade, put in full sun and ever after that, like their cousins on their own roots, give them all the ^un possible. With care and favorable conditions, grafting is not so diflScult. A good man will graft one plant in a minute, and seldom make two cuts on either end. Of course, from the moment the cut is made until the plant goes in the sun, eternal vigilance is the watchword of success. Planting. From now on there will be no dif- ferent treatment required for the graft- ed or own root plants. Pot up as re- quired, each shift giving them a strong- er soil, until they get into 4-inch pots, where they will remain until benched. When ready to plant, a bench five feet wide made of 2-inch stuff with 1%- inch cracks in the bottom is about right. We use either sod or clean straw to line the bench, and five inches of soil. I believe as heavy a prairie soil as we can get without getting into adobe, with a very small per cent of cow ma- nure, is what we want; and when in doubt about the quantity of manure to use, always use less, and then cut it down again. With new prairie soil which has never before produced a crop, and with the liquid and bone flour, and later the top dressing, I would ad- Tocate very little manure in the soil to start with. No doubt our five inches of soil is about equal to the four or even three inches which some eastern grow- ers use, allowing for the difference in climate. When we have our benches filled with soil we use fifty pounds of bone flour to a bench 6x100 feet, mixing it in thoroughly with the hands. Then we are ready to plant. Plant teas and American Beauties fourteen inches apart in the row, with rows twelve inches apart. By "staggering" the plants, this gives fourteen inches between plants every way. Liberty may as well be 12x12, as it makes so little wood. At planting time the weather is always hot, so we must dampen down benches and walks and under the benches sev- eral times a day. Water each plant thoroughly once, and afterward only as required. Always remember to fight down our enemy, the little spider with the big name. Varieties. It is hardly necessary to mention va- rieties,' as there are only a few in gen- eral use. We have the Bride and Brides- maid, but where is the groom? W. H. Bennett was a good old red in its day, but the bud was as long as the stem. Wootton, the poor man's Beauty, was a good rose, but it would not do. Meteor was a total failure in Denver. Then came Liberty, which has made a good stand and will stay as leading red un- til something better comes along. And now comes a new candidate from the jungles of Indiana, Richmond. A year or two will tell us whether it has come to stay or whether it will follow the long procession of has-beens we have seen come out with banners flying, only to wind up on the dump. Madame Chatenay is a grand, good rose and generally considered an easy doer. Still some of us have broken no records with it. Yellow seems to be out oi the running, but I always tBink a bench of Perle would find buyers. I look for a great change in the near tor ture in regard to carrying old Ameriean Beauties over more generally. Having made this paper too long al- ready, I will not touch on a great many more details such as watering, venti- lating, fumigating, cutting, packing, etc. Care and vigilance go as far, I be- lieve, as knowledge in rose-growing, al- though of course a man must have a pretty good knowledge too; but with- out continual care, the knowledge wiB not grow roses, as one day's neglect, or one night running too cold will give the grafted varieties a chance to sulk and go to rest, and if they do go to rest they will stay there until they feel the spring sunshine, no matter whether teas, hy- brid teas, or American Beauties. Per- haps you will say that hybrid tea and American Beauty are the same. May- be so, but they need treatment different from all other hybrid teas. SOME OLDER RAMBLING ROSES. It has become so much the custom ot late to regard the rambling rosea as quite modern creations, that by many the famous Crimson Rambler is consid- ered to be the forerunner of its class. It therefore appears necessary, as opportu- nities present themselves, to remind rosa- rians that some of the oldest roses in cultivation are essentially rambling la habit, as, for example, the Dundee Ram- bler, which was introduced to cultivation early in the last century. Among thes* old vigorous growing roses we had non* producing high-colored flowers, such as those of the first-named variety, nor among them were varieties with powers of such an exquisitely beautiful shade of pink as Euphrosyne and some others that could be mentioned. Nevertheless, there 1312 The Weekly Florists' Review. Afbil 20, 1905. are several of the older ramblers so vig- orous in growth, profuse in blooming, and highly effective that they are well able to render considerable service in beauti- fying the garden. In making this brief 'statement of fact we must not be understood as depreciat- ing the merits of the rambling roses of recent introduction. They should, as we have frequently advised, be planted ex- tensively in gardens of all sizes; they, however, ought not to be planted exclu- sively, not from mere sentiment, but be- cause those who do not include some of the older varieties in their selections will fail to obtain all the aid the rambling roses are so well able to give in beautify- ing their gardens. It is not desirable to attempt the for- mation of a collection of the rambling varieties that were so highly appreciated several generations ago, or, indeed, to grow all of them that have still a place in catalogues. Bather would we suggest that a few of the best be selected, and grown in association with the more ef- fectively colored of the newe/ forms. The following would make an excellent selec- tion for a medium-sized garden. The noisettes include a few old varie- ties that can be properly classed with the ramblers, notably, Aim^e Vibert, a strong-growing variety, producing medi- um-sized flowers, which are borne in large clusters; it has the additional merit of blooming freely in the autumn. E6ve d'Or, although not possessed of so hardy a constitution as the preceding variety, will grow freely, and bloom profusely under a diversity of conditions, and when these are favorable it blooms eo freely as to produce an effect of great beauty. The Ayrshires are distinguished by their vigorous growth, and freedom of flowering, and include some of the best of the older ramblers, notably Dundee Rambler, the flowers white and semi- double; very free in flowering, and with a constitution so robust as to enable it to thrive in much-exposed positions. Queen of the Belgians, an elegant vari- ety, the flower double, creamy-white, and produced in large clusters. Ruga, pale pink, the flowers double, and compara- tively large, the color light pink. "Vir- ginian Rambler is similar to Dundee Rambler, but the flowers are suffused with pink. From the -evergreen roses should be selected Ffilicitfi Perpetu*, creamy-white, comparatively small, and quite double; Flora, pale pink; Leopoldine d 'Orleans, white, suffusea with rose at the margin of the petals; Myrianthes R^nonenle, blush white, shading to rose at the edges of the petals; Princesee Marie, bright pink; Rosa plena, pale rose, passing to white. Among the musk roses may be found a few old favorites, and especially desir- able are Brunoni, a free-growing form of MoEchata, with single white flowers, which are borne in great profusion about the middle of July. Madame d'Arblay, pale pink, passing to white; flowers, double, and borne in clusters. Princesse de Nassau, pale yellow, double, and sweet-scented; and The Garland, an ex- ceptionally fine variety, the flowers of medium size, nearly double, sweet- scented, and borne in large trusses; the buds are a pleasing shade of fawn. The chief points in the cultivation of the older, as of the newer, rambling rosea is a deeply stirred and liberally enriched soil ; and the removal at the annual prun- ing of branches that have become ex- hausted, the new growths being left their whole length. — Gardeners' Magazine. THE NEW CHRYSANTHEMUMS. (Re.id by C. H. Totty. Madison. N. J., before tlie Morris Cointy Gardeners' ami Florists' Society, February 8, 1905.] I do not propose this evening to go into cultural details in general, since you have heard me on this subject several times already, but I will describe such of the new varieties as I am personally acquainted with, their possible place in the exhibition stands, and their colors and periods of flowering. Yellow Varieties. The variety that is being most in- quired about is Mrs. W. Duckham, which is, of course, natural enough, since it was shown in splendid shape at Boston, where it won the C. S. A. silver cup for the best ten flowers of any variety. I was skeptical when the raiser stated that it would beat Cheltoni, but events last fall proved that he was right. While greatly resembling Cheltoni in shape, it is deeper in color and some two weeks later, being at its best November 1. The habit of Mrs. W. Duckham is ideal, with short jointed growth and fine stem, and in height it will not run over four teet. As a 6-inch pot plant, this variety did exceedingly well, and cuttings rooted in May and early June for this purpose made splendid little plants. As a cut flower Mrs. W. Duckham is one of the best keepers, either on or off the plant. As an instance of this I may say that the flowers of this va- riety sent from England to Boston trav- eled perfectly and kept in excellent con- dition throughout the show, yet they had been cut for fifteen days. The only other yellow that I have seen or handled of the new ones is Mers- tham Yellow, and as this is so early, it is of no use for the exhibitor; but the com- mercial grower has marked it for his own, and the supply is entirely' inade- quate for the demand so far. Merstham Yellow was written about considerably last fall and you are all doubtless more or less familiar with it, but I will re- mark in passing that if it lives up to its record next year it will be the most wide- ly grown of the early yellow varieties. Those of you who have use for many flowers just when the frost outside has rfpped the dahlias and other stock, will find a good stand-by in Merstham Yel- low. Several Sterling Whites. The white section is well enriched this year by the addition of several sterling novelties, Emily Mileham, Mrs. D. V. West, Mrs. Swinburne and White Coombes being kinds that I am personal- ly acquainted with, and Mile. Jeannie Nonin and Clementine Touset, two French varieties, both certificated by the C. S. A. last fall. White Coombes you all saw growing with Mr. Herrington, where it originated, and I need say noth- ing in its favor, as it spoke for itself. Mrs. D. V. West is a grand and beauti- ful white. The petals twist and curl in a graceful ostrich plume fashion and re- mind one of the variety that we all went crazy over some seven years ago, namely, Frank Hardy, which has some time ago passed to the great beyond. Mrs. D. V. West is a taller grower thai the average, and is at its best the first week in November. I would recommend April propagation, which should give a second crown bud well on in August when it will be safe to take. Emily Mileham is also a beautiful white, refined and neat, with a very dwarf habit and stiff stem. It will be a fine variety for side benches and also pot culture, and should enjoy a large measure of popularity. While it does not make, a thick, solid flower like Merza, it has a daintiness all its own. Crown buds secured the last week in August produced better flowers than buds taken earlier. Mile. Jeannie Nonin will most likely take the place of Timothy Eaton, as it gives a large flower without the coarseness of the latter, and is at its best the middle of November. I am very favorably impressed with this variety, for it was one of the best sorts to show before the New York committee this year. Clementine Touset I consider pure- ly a commercial variety; a poor white, but a big early flower, and as such will find its place. Little Improvent in Pinks. Pinks are not nearly so largely repre- sented as last season, nor to my mind do they show any advance over last year's, for it will, in my opinion, be some time before Wm. Duckham and Leila Filkins are surpassed. Valerie Greenham is quite distinct, and very full, though the petal is quite narrow. I must confess to a weakness for a broad, massive petaled flower. Mrs. H. A. Allen is much broader In the petal, has a good color and will find its level in the exhibition varieties. It is a very dwarf grower with a grand , ■,-^,,^ ■ ;s^;;;rvgjiy»7r,i ; .,i;j^jp,, ^ V;JT=. ;- Apbil 20, 1905. The Weekly Horists^ Review^ 13J3 stem and foliage, and well worth trying. The two largest varieties of the year are Mrs. A. J. Miller and J, H. Doyle, and they are both truly enormous when caught right, on the crown bud. The first named gave a flower 7x7 inches in a 6-inch pot, with practically no feed- ing. The color of Miller is a terra cotta shading to brown, not so striking, but its immense size makes it of great value in a collection of varieties. It needs no staking really, for it is one of the strongest growers I ever saw. J. H. Doyle is also very dwarf and strong, and makes a splendid pot plant. The color of this variety is a warm terra cotta shading towards a Lawson pink color on later buds. Another year, with this va- riety widely distributed, we can tell bet- ter as to its future, but I believe it will become a standard among the exhibition kinds. A peculiarity of this variety is the fact that the foliage is pale when the plant is in the early stages of growth but this disappears as the plant gathers strength, and does not by any means in- dictate a delicate constitution. Dora Stevenf .is a lovely color; old rose perhaps expresses it best. This va- riety makes immense solid foliage, like cabbage leaves, and I would recommend pot culture to check its exuberance in this direction. Dora Stevens will grow with any one in any place. Varietieg of this character should not be fed too highly with nitrogenous food, or the re- sulting growth is too soft and sappy. The Reds. Bedd are represented in the novelties by Merstham B«d, J. H. Silsbury and Henry Perkins, neither of which shows specially noteworthy characteris- tics. Merstham Bed is closely approach- ing to red. "What are commonly called reds are, of course, strictly speaking, crimson, the red chrysanthemum not hav- ing yet put in its appearance. Merstham Bed is very dwarf, and though it will not compare in size with Maynell or Wright, it shows up for all that it is worth with a broad reflexing petal. Sils- bury and Perkins both show more or less bronze in their make-up when taken on the crown bud, and the late flowers, while wonderfully bright, do not have the nec- essary size for exhibition. These constitute the best of the new varieties so far as I have seen them. I would include Brighthurst in the pinks, one of Elmer D. Smith's seedlings, and very well shown at our last fall exhibi- tion by Peter Duff. It escaped my mind when reviewing the pinks a moment ago. It has a good dwarf habit, and every flower comes good. Progress in Mums. Some of the pessimists seem to think that we are not showing the progress in new types in the chrysanthemum tnat is shown in other flowers. They are greatly mistaken, since actual measurements show a large increase in size during the past ten years, and most assuredly the graceful Japanese section as seen today never presented such diversity of form and color even five years ago. But even if we were merely holding our own in re- gard to size and color, new varieties are all the time necessary, because the old ones will run out; even the peerless Wm. Duckham will have its day, and then pass out as the cycle moves along. A variety newly introduced, while full of the seedling vigor, may by very careful handling be held in good shape for some J. A. Valentine. years, but eventually the inevitable decay comes and the plant passes out. The man, the tree, the flower, all have their periods of growth, manhood, old age and oblivion. The future holds niuch in store for the chrysanthemum, and the interest of the world in general in our autumn queen is increasing by leaps and bounds. Last year there were more exhibitions held than ever before, and many of them were financial successes for the first time in their existence. The chrysanthe- mum has come to stay, fellow craftsmen, and I for one propose to stay right with it. MEN OF THE WEST. Is there something about the pure air, the clear sky and the high altitudes of the great west which exerts an influence upon the character of man? Certain is it that out of the west come many whose personal attributes are in keeping with the natural environments of their lives, clean-minded, clear-headed, low-voiced gentlemen, temperate in all things, but imbued with the spirit of progress, in- flexible of purpose but with a keen sense of the rights of others and a respect for opinions which may differ from their own. Such men live in the regard of their neighbors and when they journey from home are ever-welcome visitors. Of the many members in the west who honor our craft none is more widely known or highly esteemed, west or east, than J. A. Valentine, of Denver, presi- dent of the Park Floral Co. and of the Colorado Society of Floriculturists. Mr. Valentine was bom in Iowa in 1859, and with the exception of a short period dur- ing his boyhood, which was spent in Massachusetts, he has all his life lived in the west. He graduated from the law school at the Iowa University when he was 21 years old, and immediately following that went into railroad work, having had some slight previous ex- perience in civil engineering. He was with the Burlington the most of the time during the next seven years, although a portion of that time was spent with the Chicago & Northwestern in Iowa and tho Northern Pacific in Montana. In 1887, owing to the continued ill-health of Mrs. Valentine, he gave up railroad work and located in Denver. The only work of that character he has undertaken since then was the construction, and for a time the management, of a little suburban railroad running from Denver to Berke- ley Lake, Colo. Mr. Valentine's connection with the florists' business, as in the cases of so many others who are now leaders in the trade, came about more or Jess by acci- dent. To his friends it is a familiar story but to fellow-travelers en route to a " --^ TN»"---;-''*<-^'>-f^.'f'^ ■irf;.;,^ ' 13J4 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Apbil 20, 1005. recent convention this is time way Mr. Valentine told it: "In 1894, Allen B. Seaman, a prom- inent attorney of Denver and a close per- sonal friend of mine, put »-ome money into the erection of some greenhouses for the purpose of helping a fori ist friend of his. In January of 1895 \»lr. Seaman talked over with me the adv— isability of abandoning his investment as it then seemed unprofitable, but he sand I were induced to believe that if imaore money were invested and larger igreenhouses erected the business could be imade profit- able under its then manageisnent and I agreed to give some slight smttention to the book-keeping and handling of the ac- counts. At that time neither" of us im- agined that it ever would b«E necessary that I should give my personsil attention to the greenhouse business as such; but later on it became apparen~t that the only way to save the investment was for mo to take hold of the activ^^e manage- ment. I knew absolutely not hing about the business, and in fact th«ere were a great many of the common fL-Owers that I did not even know by name. I realized that I was up against a tough proposi- tion, but I immediately subscribed for the two trade papers which were then being published and sat up nights to read anything and everythiog that I could get hold of which had a- ny bearing upon the florists' business. ' ' No one needs to be told tthat at the start I met with a great manys' expensive failures. In addition to my reading 1 made it a point to travel as extensively as I felt I could afford and Tisited the prosperous florists' establishmaents in the different parts of the country. I have been a pretty regular attendeint at the meetings of the Society of American Florists and the Carnation S«cciety and believe that these various trips have been productive of a great deal of g ood to me. In fact, I believe they have be«en the best expended dollars that I hav^ spent in the florists' business." In September of 1904 Mrr. Seaman died very suddenly. Since tha*; time, un- til the present date, his esta^te has re- tained its interest in the eon-<:em; but just at this writing Mr. Vaalentine is closing a transaction by whitnh the es- tate parts with all active interrest in the business and he is letting a ^ew of his most trusted employes acquire ^mall hold- ings of stock, believing that fchis policy will prove of advantage to hmra and to them. Miss Page, who is to b»e the new secretary of the company, ha^ been in Mr. Valentine's employ since lffi91, which was some years before he became inter- ested in the florists' business^ and she has had charge of the comparay's books since 1895. Mr. Gillis, who :»s now in charge of the store, started a^ a helper at the greenhouses at $5 per \^eek. Mr. Kennedy, who also acquires am interest, is assistant to Mr. Gillis in the store, and has been with the concerm for the last two years. Mr. Valentine feels that he can attribute a large part o f the suc- cess he has attained to the spirrit of loy- alty which he has aroused in a goodly proportion of the employes, anughly moistened, after which very little water will be required till the seedlings make their appearance, which generally takes place in a fortnight or sixteen days. A piece of glass should be placed over each pot, to prevent harm from drip or insects. A temperature of 55 degrees will suit them admirably, standing them in a shady and moist part of the house. Immediately the seedlings appear shade from bright sunshine. As soon as they can be safely handled, prick off the lit- tle plants into the same kind of compost in well-drained seed-pans, growing them on in the same temperature. As soon as growth commences seriously preparations should be made for potting the seedlings singly, into 3-inch pots, using a mixture of fine peat, sifted leaf-soil, fibrous loam, and coarse silver sand, in equal quanti- ties. Good drainage should be provided, and some clean fibre from the loam heap be Dlaeed over it. A pit will be the most suitable place for growing the young streptocarpuses in, putting them as near the glass as possible, on a bed of finely sifted cinder ashes. It will be well to mention that every plant possible should be grown so that a good selection can be made; the whole of these will flowezi during the summer, and the plants, in a small state, take up but very little room. First Winter Treatment. During August and September these will produce many flowers, and by liber- ally feeding and keeping them clean, they will continue to flower all through the winter, but at the same time, any which are required for making large plants during the following spring and summer should be rested as advised for older plants. The first week in February all those which have been so treated should be started into growth. First of all, well soak and cleanse the plants, carefully remove the drainage, and re- duce as much of the old soil as possible without injury to the roots. The plants should be shifted on into 4i^-inch pots, and the older ones, as nearly as possible, into the size they have previously occu- pied. A similar compost to that already ad- vised should be used, except that it should be rougher, and have the addition of a 6-inch potful of bonemeal, and the same of finely-crushed charcoal to every bushel of compost. Care should be taken to use this in a satisfactory condition, i. e., it should be neither too wet nor too dry, and well mixed, so that every ingre- dient becomes thoroughly incorporated. A capital place to give these a start is a house carried at 55 degrees. If they are thoroughly watered at first very little more will be required till active growth ™\7f«^ 1316 The Weekly Horists' Review. Afbil 20, 1906. has commenced, and as soon as this oc- curs remove the plants to a cooler and more airy structure. To attain the best results, a small span-roofed house, or one Bide of it, should be devoted to them. Arrange the plants on inverted flower pots, and allow suf&cient room for each to stand clear of its neighbor. Syringe between the pots frequently during the daytime, and damp the paths and walls at night, but do not syringe the foliage. Failing such a position, shelves in ' the greenhouse provide the next beet place, and even pits will grow them well. Do not fail to admit abundance of air on all favorable occasions, both night and day, as by so doing the foliage will be much Improved, and the coloring of the flowers much more satisfactory. When the pots become well filled with roots, and it is one's ambition to produce extra large specimens, these plants may receive another shift into larger pots, care being taken to disturb the roots as little as possible, and not to damage the foliage, which is certainly part of the charm of well-grown plants. Feeding. This should commence immediately the pots become fairly well filled with roots, and it will be perfectly safe to apply it at every other watering, and continue it all through the flowering period. I have found nothing so suitable as good Peru- vian guano, properly diluted, and that made from horse, cow, and sheep manure, which should be placed In a tub, with a small bag of fresh soot, and used as re- quired. Insect Pests. Thrips, green fly, and mealy bug we have found the most troublesome pests, and when mealy bug obtains a strong hold it is undoubtedly a most troublesome one, and the safest and best plan is never to aJlow it to become established. Green fly and thrips may easily be kept down by frequent nicotine fumigation; we make it a rule to do this about every ten days, and so can keep them thoroughly clean, and if the work is done according to the directions given with the material no damage will occur. Shading. During hot weather it will be necessary to shade streptocarpuses with thin blinds, removing them immediately the strong Bun has passed oflf them, otherwise the foliage and flowers will become drawn, and generally lack that high finish which is characteristic of good culture. The blooms will last for a considerable time in a thoroughly fresh condition, and, if wanted for exhibition or any other pur- pose, they may be securely fixed with the aid of floral gum at the base of the tower. Bxcept In the case of plants which are required for the production of seed, the old flower stalks should be re- moved immediately the flowers fade, this enabling fresh flower trusses to be pro- duced in abundance. Seed Saving. Though excellent streptocarpus seea can be obtained from leading nurserymen, it is extremely interesting to save one's own, as the pleasure there is in watching the development of the flowers from one 's own stock is then greatly enhanced. The seed takes some time to mature, and a great care is necessary in cleaning and looking after it. The pods should not be picked until they are just on the point of bursting, when they should be placed in shallow boxes on stout white paper, and stood on shelves near the glass to finish. In about ten days the seed can be cleaned, and stored away. I cannot close these remarks without giving to Messrs. J. Veitch & Sons, of Chelsea, the credit for being the raisers and in- troducers of so many beautiful varieties of streptocarpus. Not only have they improved the individual flowers, but the habit of the plant also. — Gardeners' Magazine. [In the United States growers flnd it preferable to give the seedlings 2-inch pots at the flrst potting and 3-inch where 4%-inch pots are advised when starting up after the rest the flrst winter. The putting near the glass is contrary to our modern rules of culture. — ^R.] AMERICAN CARNATION SOCIETY. The report of this society will be ready for distribution in a short time and will be sent to paid-up members only, so that any who are in arrears, or who would like to get this report and are not members, should at once send $2 to the treasurer, Fred Dorner, Jr., Lafayette, Ind. Messrs. A. H. Hews & Co., Cambridge, Mass., offer for the meeting and exhibi- tion in Boston next January a cup to the value of $25 for "the Jiest collection of four varieties of carnations, twenty-five blooms of each," to be shown in sepa- rate vases. This prize will be open to all with either seedlings or named sorts and no restrictions as to color. Any other firm or grower who desires to give special premiums for this exhi- bition can report them to President Peter Fisher, Ellis, Mass., or to the sec- retary. ALBERT M. Herb, Sec'y. LIKE A CHAMELEON. The following very interesting news- paper telegram was sent out from San Francisco on April 15: Luther BurbaDk, wizard of horticulture, has produced a camatlooi which changed Us color three times on the flrst three days It came Into bloom. On the flrst day the carnation was pure white, the second day It was a pink, while on the third day It changed to a deep red, which It retained until It faded. Gophers ob- literated this type of carnation, but Burbank is at work trying to reproduce it. Retail florists hope that Mr. Burbank may succeed in his efforts and trust that the change in hue may be fixed to oc- cur as an indication of the period which has elapsed since the flowers were ready to cut, rather than the somewhat illu- sive appearance of wakefulness which is now the guide. SOLID BEDS AGAIN. How will carnations do in a solid bed two feet deep, vrith about twelve inches of ashes in the bottom, six to eight inches rotted manure and four to six inches soil on top? The steam-pipes run along the wall with a walk between the bed and wall. A. C. T. I would not consider it advisable to put six inches of manure under the soil in your carnation bsds. You will find that a good inch of manure with four inchas of soil will grow as good car- nations as can possibly be produced. Such a large amount of manure is like- ly to sicken the plants. It will at least prevent drainage. Six inches of soil is more than the plants need in one season and it is considered best to plant in fresh soil every year. Four inches of soil is plenty and we have sean very fine carnations growing in three inches of soil. Last spring we planted our Lawsons from 2^ -inch pots on| the bed which contained scant three inches of soil and we have had better Lawson this season than ever before. In the future we shall plant in less than four inches of soil rather than over that depth. A. ±. J, jBAUfU PROPAGATING SAND. At the last meeting of the Pittsburg and Allegheniy Florists' Club a question was asked as to White Rock sand, what it is, where it comes from and whether it is good for propagating. In answer it was stated that "we communicated with a number of sand and stone firms in Pittsburg concerning White Rock sand, and aU excepting one firm were as ignorant as we are in the matter, and they said it was crushed rock, and comes from a place called Emlington, about ninety miles up the Allegheny valley. "We would not say which is best, but ordinary river sand is good enough to propagate in. As a rule it is not the fault of the sand that is the cause of failure, but the man who does the work. Our experience in propagating is that we get better results from coarse sand in the winter months, and fine in spring and summer." ASTERS ON OLD GROUND. It would be of service to me, and probably to others, if some of your prac- tical men would give an article on the cultivation of the aster on old ground. G. M. R. It is a little uncertain what is meant by "old" ground. If the same ground that has grown asters for several years is meant, then our experience with as- ters grown on the same spot for fiv» years is that they were quite as good, even better last year thsin the first year. They were annually well manured. Ro- tation ' of crops is very essential with many things, but there are exceptions. Onions, for instance, are said to pro- duce a better crop the tenth successive season than the first. With a good dress- ing of farm-yard manure every spring and the long rest the soil has between crops, the asters will do well on the same ground for a number of years. W. S. HEATING FRAMES Has any reader of the Review had experience in heating hotbeds with hot water or steam? How is it done and what success may be expected in raising plants of all kinds? J. L. H. A hotbed is a hotbed and is heated by the fermenting material of which it is made and is always a temporary struc- ture, mostly used in early spring for early vegetables and bedding plants. A cold frame can be more or less perma- nent, but is usually a frame of boards covered with sash and further protected on cold nights with shutters or mats and is used in the spring months for plants that will thrive in a cool temperature, but will not endure any frost. A heated pit or frame is a permanent structure and should have low brick or cement walls and often excavated a foot or so be- low the surrounding surface. These low structures are most useful at any time, not only as an overflow to accommodate - ,i.F^w^i?*«l|'??&-i; ^^y f f**^-^y*f * ■'■^ ^;^.\'('-^ f^-r*C^.,''';/ Tf 13J8 The Weekly Florists^ Review* April 20, 1905. PHILADELPHIA. / The Market Indications point to an exceptionally good Easter. The fortnight of warm weather followed by the cooler and then the wintry weather which opened this week, first railroaded and then shortened the crops and eventually improving their quality. Orders are coming in well, the Leo Niessen Co. reporting them excellent already for Easter, Easter week and even for the first \veek in May. The supply of roses and carnations will be moderate, less in most cases than earlier in the month. Sweet peas, daisies, pansies and valley will be abundant. The first named will not, however, equal the demand. This will also be true of violets, though there will be more than was anticipated. Easter lilies will be plentiful. A sur- plus of good flowers is improbable. Callas are scarce, with small prospects of a good supply. Daffodils and tulips are more plentiful and bring good money, thanks to the disappearance of the southern stock and to the increased de- mand. Smilax is scarce, except with the Niessen Co* Asparagus is fairly plenti- ful. Prices are rising steadily. It seems probable that the rapid drop of five weeks ago will be recalled by an equally re- markable rise before this week' is over. The Andorra Nurseries. The Reading or Pennsylvania train from the city to Chestnut Hill, followed by five minutes' further ride on the trolleys, brings the visitor to the cross- road scarcely a country square from the entrance to ths Andorra Nurseries. By far the prettier way is to go by the pic- turesque Wissahickon drive, along the banks of the creek, than which there is no lovelier bit of natural scenery any- where. You can drive, or ride the shanks mare, as I did last Sunday afternoon. The entrance to the nurseries is at the very end of the drive, the roadway wind- ing up a hill to the high ground above, where a magnificent view stretches for miles away on all sides. Ornamental trees, shrubs and evergreens in all stages of growth are seen in bewildering num- bers, down the slope on the left toward Barron Hill and up the opposite incline. It is more level on the right or city side. Behind there is a slight rise toward Box- borough, while in front is the Wissa- hickon, with beyond on Chestnut Hill another acreage of the nursery. Unfortunately William Warner Harper was away and John Humphreys was rest- ing after a strenuous week, so I cannot tell you which are the best rhododen- drons or clematis or how to grow Colo- rado blue spruce like they do up there. I can only tell you that there are abun- dant signs of business enterprise and activity. Three tracts of ground in the nursery, the main one of 150 acres, sixty more on the side and ninety more over toward Chestnut Hill, say 300 in all in round figures, I was told. There was plenty of choice stock. It was going out, too, at a lively rate in lots both large and small all over the country, showing clearly that Mr. Harper has not been playing Rip Van Winkle during the past fifteen years. A violent snow storm covered the rows and rows of trees with a coat of pure white. The sun shone on them with daz- zling brilliancy, a curious and beautiful eight for mid-April. In a half hour white had given way to the former brown and green tints. Various Notes. The Easter plant growers are doing a heavy business. Hugh Graham was re- ported to have declined further orders on Saturday. Robert Craig & Son and William K. Harris have made heavy sales. The Leo Niessen Co. is handling Hugh Graham's Easter stock of Ulrich Brun- ners. They are very fine. H. W. Collins has succeeded R. G. Palmer at Doylestown. His cut goes to S. S. Pennock. George F. Christie is sending very fine Brides to William J. Baker, The Philadelphia Carnation Co., Harry Crawford grower, sends the best sweet peas coming into town today. Paul Berkowitz, of H. Bayersdorfer & Co., is back from a flying trip to New York, He seems well pleased with Easter business. J. ,T. Habermehl's Sons have grown a very fine lot of Easter plants at their Edward Reid is handling a nice lot of Easter lilies. His valley and Kaiserins are excellant. W. Atlee Burpee & Co. have bought a new farm in Jersey. The soil is just what they want for growing melons, cucumbers, pumpkins, egg plants, pep- pers. Spark's Earliana tomatoes and a few flower seeds. S. S. Pennock is handling some nice Killarney roses. An Encore. Enclosed is a check for one dollar to renew m for another year. I find in it much interesting reading and it is a very paying thing to me, as I am a large buyer and in general find jast what I w^ant in the Review. I would not like to give it up at any price. E. KITCHENMEISTER. New Brunswick, N. J. uptown place, at Twenty-second and Dia- mond streets. William Berger has his lilies and other Easter plants in prime condition. A few of the many visitors in town wer3 R. W. Hutchison, of Sewickley, Pa. ; William Feast, Charles Diedeman, H. Wells, of Baltimore; Mrs. E. A, Wil- liams, of Pittsburg, and D. Mish, of Lebanon, Pa. Julius Koehler & Son, Frankford, have their usual fine Easter stock. E. J. Fancourt has returned from his western business trip. M. Rice & Co. report that they had an exceptionally good Easter trade and at- tribute it to the large line of practical novelties they always carry. William J. Muth states that the Phila- delphia Cut Flower Co. will be strong on valley for the Easter holiday. The plant business has been very heavy at the wholesale cut flower houses. Ths Flower Market, Niessen, Pennock and Reid have all had good shipments. Appleton & Burrell are doing well with M. Rice & Co.'s new building. It will, from present appearances, be ready ahead of time^ they say by May 1. Theodore Edwards, of Bridgeton, N. J., has some nice valley now for W. J. Baker.

Keep him talking In the shed, 'Bout boiler, fuel, pipes o'erhead, Anything in short will do, Till too dark to take him through. Phil. OBITUARY. Death of Wm. Paul. On March 31 British horticulture lost one of its most distinguished repre- sentatives in the death of Wm. Paul, of Waltham Cross, at the ripe age of 82 years. While Mr. Paul had devoted much attention to such subjects as holly- hocks, hyacinths, camellias, hollies, ivies, pelargoniums, etc., it was as a rosarian that he gained his chief distinction. H* was conspicuous in all activities in the interest of the rose and some dozens of new sorts were raised and introduced by him. Of these probably the best known one in America is Magna Charta. Mr. Paul was one of the earliest of those upon whom the Victorian Medal in Hor- ticulture was conferred. ELMIRA, N. Y. Trade during the past week has been really good and there promises to be a shortage, particularly in carnations. The orders booked for the latter part of the week will use up all that can be cut in this vicinity. Roses are a good crop and the demand is brisk and prices good. Eas- ter lilies are selling quickly at 12% tents and are of excellent quality. There is also a scarcity of smilax and adiantum and a good demand for both. PlumosuA is plentiful and selling well. The United States Cut Flower Co. has a show of Beauties, lilies and callas worth seeing and which they are dispos- ing of at good prices, their shipping de- partment keeping a large staff busy. La France, Bawson and the other growers are all busy and in good spirits, so that it looks well for a good Easter. The weather has been very unfavorable but there are signs of improvement, which we are all hoping for. R. CATALOGUES RECEIVED. H. P. Kelsey, Boston, surplus list nursery stock; Edw.

The past week has seen nothing note- worthy in the way of demand and the principal interest has centered on the or- ders coming in for Easter shipments. Some of these are exceptionally large and immense quantities of stock will be required to meet all requirements in the remaining days of the present week. Quite naturally receipts diminished in quantity, for every effort has been made by the growers to hold their cut until the Easter demand calls for it. In this they have been favored by cool weather and the prospects are for large suppliea of very excellent quality. The only ex- ception may be in the carnation line. Some of the growers report being pretty well off crop and it is certain that re- ceipts have been light for sev9ral aay^ but there is, however, a probability that a good many flowers are in storage. There is every indication of plenty of Easter lilies and th3 only item which affords any concern is the violet. A number of retailers have placed orders ranging into many thousands and it is problematical if they will get the stock. Beceipts have bean very light the past week and what few have come in "shake" badly and a good many show a brown spot in the center of the flower. The season is about over. Mechanical Watering. Louis Wittbold, of the Geo. Wittbold Co., has for a long time been at work on a semi-automatic method of watering and syringing in greenhouses. He has at length hit upon a device which seems to be just the thing. He lays a i/2-incli pipe down tne middle of the bench on the surface of the soil. This is fitted with nozzles about every three feet and about every twenty-five feet is supplied with a feed hose. An ingenious device turns the water on the whole length at once and a swivel handle permits direct- ing the streams from the nozzles wherever desired. He can run his apparatus with ten pounds pressure and provide a solid sheet of water the entire length of the bed. A patent has been applied for. Death of Mrs. Thompson. Mary J. Thompson, mother of J. D. Thompson, of the J. D. Thompson Carna- tion Co., died at her home in Joliet on Sunday. She was a sister of Mrs. H. N. Higinbotham and well known throughout the state for her activity in matters social and charitable. The fu- neral occurred on Tuesday and the floral tributes constituted one of the largest displays ever seen in Joliet. Variotis Notes. George Wienhoeber reached home last Saturday from his European trip. He is fully restored to health and has his coat off for a big week's work. Wietor Bros, have already planted seven houses with Beauties. Percy James is now employed in the store of Weiland & Risch. E. L. Fetzer is now with T. F. Hud- son, at Houston, Texas. Matt Mann is sending Zech & Mann the first gladioli of the season. They are fine and have sold readily. Harry B. Tufts, formerly clerk at the Hotel Morrison, has bought out Graff's store on Washington street and engaged Charlie Balluff as his assistant. I/. N. T. Whittin has sold out his place at 268 North Rockwell street and retired from business. Among the week's divorce eases are those of Howard W. Metz, who seeks separation from Jeannette K. Metz, and Amelia R. Wiltgen, whose husband, Eu- gene Wiltgen, is a vegetable grower at Rogers Park. Mrs. Wiltgen testified that her husband's business was worth $10,000 a year. Among the week 's visitors were Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Hincliff of Racine, Wis. They now conduct the business formerly owned by Mrs. Pike. C. R. Hills, of Grand Rapids, was also a visi- tor. Vaughan & Sperry report a good sale on Crimson Ramblers and Beauties flow- ered in pots. I They have also sold a good lot of vioflet plants in pans. The E. F. AVinterson Co. is getting some especially good sweet peas. J. A. Budlong is cutting very good Boston Market and has a big crop on. I Next year Boston Market and Lady Bountiful are to be his two whites, planted in equal quantity. Robert Northam has sold his store on the west side and is now manager of the cut flower department at Hillman's. E. C. Amling says he is selling 500 strings of smilax a day. O. W. Frese, at Poehlmann Bros.' re- ports one Easter order which calls for 8,000 Lawson ii they care to let one buyer have so many. At Tuesday's election Henry Klehm was elected president of the town of Arlington Heights. Kennicott Bros. Co. report wild smilax over with them for the season. They have done a big business in this line the past winter and expect to do even more next season, handling the output of Caldwell the Woodsman, the oldest and probably largest shipper. NEW YORK. The Market. Wihat a godsend this weather has been to the plantsmen! The temperature for a week past has been chilly and on Sun- day it was cold enough for snow. There is now every assurance of a grand plant supply, of splendid quality of cut flowers, and of fine, warm temperature for the great festival. The last was not a good business week by any means. If supplies had been pro- fuse there would have been no possible outlet. Lilies are abundant and the best of the plants will hold their 12-cent value to the end. No good lilies will sell below 10 cents and those you hear of at 8 cents have gone to the usual clearing houses for trash, the department stores, where cheapness is the only recognized basis of negotiation. This applies to all of them, with possibly one lone ex- ception, and includes the hardy shrubs, roses and trees these places handle. Violets are scarce. The cool weather has been of service and the supply for Easter promises to be larger than at first expected. If any good flowers reach the market they will command $1.

There is plenty of bulbous stock and excellent, but Will Siebrecht, at his big bulb factory in Astoria, de- clared several days before Easter he did not want to see another buyer and every flower had been engaged. Various Notes. A call on A. Sehultheis, of College Point, revealed an Easter stock of great extent and interest. This fine establish- ment was ablaze with color and every- thing in the right condition. There were hosts of blue hydrangeas, Crimson Bamblers, Dorothy Perkins and bougain- villeas, a whole house of them, and azal- eas, ericas and lilies, and there are also thousands of Ramblers and hydrangeas for the after-Easter trade, coming in gradually right up to Decoration Day, There are three entire houses of Bamb- lers in every size and style, as fine a lot as I ever saw. Among the boxes ready for shipment I noticed several labeled to the leading stores in Chicago. Mr. Sehultheis has promised to bring his family of nine to the club's outing in June. One of the prizes offered is for the largest family there, with the odds in favor of College Point. Great plantings of trees in the city parks of New York are in progress. The Rapid Transit Commission, however, has failed to renew the beauty of the boule- vard and has left the good intent too long for this spring's accomplishment. These are the days of auctions in the horticultural trade and both centers, Cleary's and Elliott's, are filled at every performa»ce. I notice a familiar face on the rostrum at Cleary's. John is wel- comed by everybody and, with his broth- ers at the financial end of the enterprise, there should be some strenuous days at "Horticultural Hall." Ralph M. Ward & Co. have found a more suitable center for their growing bulb business and will move May 1 to 12 West Broadway. Arthur Boddington reports a great de- mand for hardy roses and peonies and an exceptionally busy spring. Every seed house in the city is working overtime and is crowded with additional helpers and anxious customers. There is hardly standing room in some of the big retail stores downtown. M. A. Bowe has extra facilities, artists and all the requisites for a big Easter at his "heart of the city" place on Broadway. Leikens, near the Waldorf-Astoria, is also "in it" as to location, close to the greatest caravansary on the continent. He is gathering fast a clientele from the 400 who are all around him. Herrmann, of East Thirty-fourth street, says the demand for his metal de- signs has been abnormal for Easter. He is adding yearly to his facilities and the volume of his business. L. Wertheimber & Co. report a wide demand for their Japanese moss, which combines quality and cheapness. They are headquarters for Japanese novelties. Siebrecht & Son will have the greatest Easter display in their thirty-five years of business. With the great store and their immense conservatories at New Rochelle, their facilities are unequaled. Mr. Siebrecht, Sr., reports a great de- mand for their young plants of the Kil- larney rose. Bonnot Bros, and W. H. Siebrecht have now a private telephone in the Cut Flower Exchange, Coogan building. Crawbuck & Wiles control the "green goods" trade in Brooklyn. Their suc- cess has been rapid. They have millions of galax in storage. I was surprised on a visit last week at the greenhouses of the F. R. Pierson Co., at Tarrytown, to find house after house filled with the new fern, Tarrytown elegantissima. I had no idea so large a stock could possibly be ready for dis- tribution. It is a prolific grower and many grand specimens are in evidence. Mr. Pierson tells me the demand for the young stock has started in far beyond his expectations. H. A. Stone, of Kingston, has been shipping his fine single violets all winter to Saltford, of West Twenty-ninth street. Mr. Wade, of Wadley & Smythe, was in Woods Hole last week attending to the shipping of the Easter Ramblers, includ- ing Wedding Bells, the entire stock of which is handled by this enterprising Fifth avenue house. Cotsonas & Co. report that the call for Easter greens is away ahead of all prev- ious records. H. C. Steinhoff, of Hoboken, has been the Crimson Rambler king of New Jer- sey for several years. This season is no exception to the rule. He has everything for Easter, or rather did have, for now the abnormal demand has left him, like all the other growers in the harbor, with all goods out of the hold and sails being trimmed for another voyage.

The usual holding back process has been in evidence for a number of days. Supplies have fallen off very perceptibly. This is an advantage in some ways, as demand has been comparatively light. Prices have averaged a little higher, more especially on colored roses, carna- tions And violets. Indications point to an abundant sup- ply for Easter, of everything except vio- lets. Even of these latter there will be a fair quantity, as we have had a good deal of cool, cloudy weather of late, which has prevented them from nm- ning out entirely. This same weather is causing worry to some whose lilies are rather backward and the sweating pro- cess is necessary to get them in. As a rule, however, growers have them suffi- ciently well forward without adopting these practices. The average price for flower and bud appears to be 12% cents and there seem likely to be enough to fill all demands. Pot plants are a big factor. In addi- tion to lilies there are quantities of Crimson, Pink and Baby Ramblers, Brunners and other hybrids, azaleas, bulbous stock in variety, lily of the val- ley, rhododendrons, genistas, ericas, bougainvilleas, spiraeas and a miscella- neous assortment of other plants. We have not noticed anything especially new, except the Pink and Baby Rambler roses. We anticipate the best Easter business on record if we are given fav- orable weather conditions.

Florists' Qab. Although the Easter preparatory rush kept some away from the meeting of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club on April 18, there was, neverthehss, a first-class attendance. Although there was no reg- ular essayist, much business was trans- acted. Several new members were elect- ed. It was announced that a field day would be held at the pot manufactory ol A. H. Hews & Co., Cambridge, on April 29. An interesting discussion took place on the following question: "In view of the rapid deterioration of roses, carna- tions and other florists' flowers, by prop- agation from plants grown under forced conditions, would it not be well to con- sider the matter of procuring stock for forcing from plants grown under natural conditions, such as would be obtained further south, where the climate would permit open ground culture all the year around? It would saem that many varie- ties, valuable to. the traue, are too soon rendered useless and that hybridization, too, is adversely affected by the above cause and that a remedy should be found. ' ' It was decided to hold a picnic about June 20, ladies to be included. The en- tertainment committee reported a bal- ance of over $100 after paying all ex- penses in connection with the late rose convention banquet. Various Notes. "Williams & Willard, at the Taunton Greenhouses, have a thousand pots of longiflorum liliss in prime condition for Easter, also a fine lot of spiraeas, bulb- ous stock, genistas and other plants. Farquhar & Co. have imported a quan- tity of standard H. P. roses worked on rugosa stock, which they think will be adapted better for the New England cli- mate than any tried heretofors. H. M. Eobinson & Co. are doing a heavy business in southern smilax and wreathing for Easter. Their dagger and other ferns are now of fine quality. Killarney rose seems likely to be grown largely outdoors in this section for bedding purposes this season. Its popularity is also tsmpting some to try it indoors. Among those who are sending in fine flowering plants to the stores or markets are T>iomas Eoland, W. W. Edgar, A. Leuthy & Co., Farquhar & Co., Mann Bros., E. Sutermeister, B. Washington, Anderson & WiUiams and J. T. Butter- worth. E. N. Peirce & Co. 's immense stock of longiflorum lilies is in grand condition for Easter. The plants are very stocky and show hardly a trace of disease. W. N. C. ST. LOUIS. The Market The past week was another very un- satisfactory one. Business came in spots. Stock is still plentiful and cheap, especially bulbous stock. Jonquils and Narcissus poeticus from the south are a big glut. Every wholesaler is loaded up with them at prices from 25 to 50 cents per hundred. Harrisii, callas, Dutch hya- cinths and tulips are too many for the demand. Roses in all grades are still plentiful, especially in white and pink. Fancy long Beauties are becoming some- what scarce and demand better. Shorts are enough for all. Carnations are also coming in heavi- ly, quality very good. White has the call over the colored stock. The price went up a little on fancy stock. Com- mons are still very cheap, with few buy- ers. Sweet peas sell well. Home-grown lilac is abundant, with slow sales. Smi- lax and other greens are in plenty with some demand. All reports indicate a brisk and satis- factory trade for Easter, also that stock of all kinds will be plentiful and rea- sonable in price. A great many fine plants have already been sold for Easter delivery and we hope to be able to make a good report of the Easter trade in St. Louis. Florists' Club. The club meeting on April 13 was well attended considering the very busy times with the growers. The meeting opened at 2 o'clock with eighteen members pres- ent. President Juengel and Vice-presi- dent Pilcher were absent and ex-Presi- dent Beneke opened the meeting. The building and show committees reported progress. Then Chairman Koenig, of the committee on constitution, read the different sections, which were adopted after a discussion which occupied two hours. Applications for membership were received from C. H. Foreman, of Louis- iana, Mo.; H. F. W. Aue, of St. Louis, both growers, and George Angermueller, wholesale florist. It was decided that the eighteenth anniversary of the club will take place in September and the trustees were in- structed to prepare an entertainment at which the members and their families (;an take part. The regular September meeting will take place at H. Weber & Sons, as per invitation. The next meeting will take place Thursday afternoon, May 11. Various Notes. Edwin Loydt opened his floral estab- lishment on April 13, at 918 North Kings highway, with music and refresh- ments, which drew quite a gathering of people to that neighborhood during the day. Mrs. Quinn, wife of the late Pat Quinn, has advertised her place for sale. Henry Berning has recovered from his recent illness and is again attending to business. Carl Beyer is out again and looks none the worse from his ten days' confine- ment. Prof. Trelease, of the Missouri Botan- ic Gardens, has returned from his trip to Mexico, and is back at his post look- ing the picture of health. Mayor Wells was inaugurated to his second term of oflSce on Tuesday of last week. The council chamber was adorned with large bunches of American Beauties and a fine decoration of plants. Other officers also received a number of fine floral designs from friends. The Plant and Cut Flower Growers' Association met in Louisiana Hall April 19. ^ Wm. Bouche, landscape gardener for the Park View Eealty Co., of Richmond Heights, reports that he will draw plana for Judge Laughlin's place in the coun- try. No expense will be spared to make these the finest grounds around St. Louis. The Engelmann Botanical Club held a field meeting at Allentown, Mo., on Saturday. A special car left Tower Grove station early in the morning filled with young botanists. Prof. H. C. Irishj of the Missouri Botanic Gardens, was in charge. John Burke and family left for Cali- fornia last week to spend the summer. 1322 The Weekly Florists' Review^ Apbil 20, 1905. Mr. Burke reports that should he find an opportunity to go into business while there he will remain on the coast. George £.

Pare, Des Moines, la ; First Vlce- Pres., L. L. May, St. Paul; Sec'y and Treas.. C. B. Kendel, Cleveland. The 23rd annual meeting will be held on the St. Lawrence. June, 1906. The navy bean grown for commercial purposes is again cutting a figure in fix- ing the contract growing price of the garden varieties. It is reported that there are still a few onion sets to be had at scattered points. The demand is not so active as it would be if the weather were better. The canners have found a rapidly extending market for spinach and will pack larger quantities tWs season. Con- siderable inquiry is heard for seed. Standard varieties of seed potatoes from general reports are not moving any better. The high priced novelties in seed potatoes are said to be selling well, how- ever. The United States Department of Agriculture has published a new bulle- tin on alfalfa, treating the subject fully and devoting a chapter to growing and harvesting for seed. A SECOND season for the planting of beans will be a result of the frosts recently reported from the southern At- lantic states. Already there is a brisk call from that section for beans to re- plant. The United States General Appraisers have sustained an importer's contention that certain dill and parsley seeds should have been classified by the customs col- lector as "aromatic seeds, which are drugs." The U. S. Department of Agriculture reports that in 1903 this country ex- ported 151,985 pounds of ginseng val- ued at $796,008, a slight increase in quantity and decrease in value as com- pared to the record for 1901. At Chicago the cold weather of April has prevented the seed sown for onion sets appearing above ground to date. It is not thought that this wiU prevent a good stand later on but if weather condi- tions were more favorable the growers would feel happier. The unseasonable and low temperature which has prevailed generally throughout the country for the past two weeks has eased trade up considerably. The mail order seedsmen have felt the falling off more than the others, it is reported, and the loss for April will draw heavily from the increase that March gave to the re- ceipts for 1905. The village of Baiersdorf, Bavaria, which has the reputation of raising the finest horseradish in Europe, is about twenty-two miles south of Bamberg, on the line of railroad to Nuremberg. Horse- radish is cultivated almost exclusively on about 1,335 acres of the moist grounds of the valley of the river Eegnitz. The average yearly yield amounts to about 55,000 hundredweight (6,050,000 pounds). Most of the product is exported to Aus- tria, the Netherlands, Switzerland and France. It is packed in heavy barrels, containing about 1,000 roots each, and the price varies from 2% to 4 cents a pound.

The Department of Agriculture says that "The publication of the results ob- tained with pure cultures in inoculating leguminous plants has resulted in such a demand for this material that it has been impossible to meet the demand. The patent which the department holds upon the method of growing and distributing these organisms was taken out in such a way that no one can maintain a monop- oly of the manufacture of such cultures and so as to permit of its being taken SEED GROWERS Pleld, Sweet and Pop Corn, Ononm« b«r.

The Erfurt, Germany, correspondent to the Horticultural Trade Journal writes in part as follows: The winter has not been such as pleases the gardeners here, who like plenty of snow to protect the plants and hard frost to pulverize the jtround and destroy the various Insect pests. Sales bare in most articles been satisfactory. Many sorts of beans such as Scarlet and White Runners. Pale Dun, Osborn's and Flageo- let Victoria Dwarf, are cleared out and en- quirers from all sides hare to remain unsatis- fied. In leeks, almost a complete clearance has been eflFected, and stocks have not been so low for many years. On the other band radishes bare not moved oflF very briskly, and plenty of seed is still in the warehouse. Cab- :^^fi;7P^'f- ^■wr/,"«*«wTBfF;fi-r' ' Apbil 20, 1906.

A truss bears from eight to eleven buds, of which six are frequently open at one time, making an immense flower. It is of great substance and bears shipDiDg without bruising. Stems can be cut two feet long and are as rigid aa sticks. It is very proliflc in bloom, producing three to four side shoots of eight buds each besides the main flower. Bulbs no bigger than dried wax beans produce as large a flower as the largest bulbs, only the stems are shorter. It propagates very freely, producing from four to eight bulbs, all of which will flower the next year. All growers of freesia should try this queen of freesia for when once grown you will want no other. Price for large bulbs. $4 00 per JOO; $30.00 per ICOO; 500 at tOOO rate. Discount on 5000 and over.

Stock of all kinds has been plentiful, except carnations, which continued scarce all week. Sunday be- ing Palm Sunday made a special demand for flowers Saturday for church use. Various Notes. Mrs. E. A. Williams made good use of her large show-window by making a very handsome display of lilac, azaleas, rhododendrons and ferns the past week. Geddis & Blind Bros, had a very hand- some window Saturday, of Easter plants with a basket of yellow Spanish iris as the central piece. The Pittsburg Floral Co. is the name of a new concern which has opened at the corner of Fifth avenue and Liberty street, to take care of the plant business for Easter. They have secured a very handsome corner store and should do a good Easter business. We have had enough variety of weath- er to satisfy anyone, even for April. However, the dark, cool weather has helped some of the plantsmen to hold stock which otherwise would have been too far advanced. The ice chamber in the large box of J. B. Murdoch & Co. caved in Saturday morning, dropping about a ton and a half of ice among a lot of lilies and other stock, causing considerable loss be- sides inconvenience. A letter from Ben Elliott, at Los An- geles, Cal., informs us that he has just arrived there and that he is well. The climate is grand about this lime, but be- tween the lines we read that Pittsburg is God's country to Ben. A trip to the Allegheny Market at this season is as good as visiting a flow- er show. The boys over there make a display that would be a credit to any city. When you talk about nerve, ener- gy and push you are talking about those Allegheny boys and they do the business they deserve. Randolph & McClements have a grand display of everything one can think of in Easter plants. Mr. McClements' trip east was not for nothing; they have many Easter novelties in baskets for plants which are very attractive.

Smith houses, one would not believe it when they see the large loads of grand azaleas, cinerarias, and other blooming plants they are bringing in every day. Their store is simply a bower of beauty. Breitenstein & Flemm are making good use of their handsome show- windows these days with original ar- rangements of plants. Don't think that original is the wrong word; you will al- ways see something original where Mr. Breitenstein has a hand in it. L. I. Neff manages to make use of all the stock from his Aspinwall and new Cheswick greenhouses. His four stores are filled with handsomely arranged pans of tulips, hyacinths and other nice things which are coming in just right for Easter. The wonder is how Mr. Neflf can look after his many interests and still have time for a social chat, but he says it is easy; have a good system, hire good men, and pay them all they can possibly earn, and you will make money and not be killed with worry ■ either. Theodore P. Langhans, of the Pitts- burg Cut Flower Co., has the sincere sympathy of his many friends in the loss of his father, who was known to most of the trade and loved by all for his kindly disposition.

The Market Since the first of April there has been weather to please the bulb growers and plantsmen, particularly those whose stock was at an advanced stage. From a business standpoint it has been decidedly unseasonable and the retailers report sales below the average for this time of the year. Nevertheless all made large preparations for the grand rally at Eas- ter. Easter lilies, generally speaking, are of very fair quality and most growers are on time. Very little disease is notice- able. Azaleas, marguerites, Eamblers, H. P. roses, spirajas, hydrangeas and Dutch bulbs will be plentiful and of very good quality. There will be no advance in prices over former years and a large sale should result. Cut flowers will not be overabundant and the quality extra fine. Beauties will be very limited locally. Tea roses and Meteors will be more plentiful, many local growers being in good crop. Car- nations will be in fair supply and of su- perior quality. Sweet peas, valley and bulbous stock will be on hand in large quantities, I A New Store. It is eminently proper at this time to particularly mention the opening of Smith & Fetters' new store on Euclid avenue, Monday, April 10. In a nut- shell I may say it is of metropolitan character and a perfect dream of beauty and magnificence. The color scheme is of a light greenish tint, with decorations of a trifle darker shade. Expensive chandeliers play a very prominent part. A spacious workroom is in the rear, with oflSces above. The cost of decorating and furnishing the store was between $5,000 and $8,000. \7ith the Growers. At J. M. Gasser Co. 's, Eocky River, we found Mr. Wm. Smith, manager in charge. About 1,000 perfect lilies were just right, also extra fine hydrangeas, Ramblers, lilacs, azaleas, spiraeas, Dutch hyacinths and tulips. Roses and carna- tions are a trifle off crop. H. A. Hart will have a fine lot of Easter stock. Lilies were very good. Ramblers, H. P. roses, spirroas and a very fine batch of hydrangeas were just right, also pans and pots of bulbous stoelt'' ^ -las. Eadie has some choice stock just right tpr Easter. -Mrf.' A. Sehmitt, of Glcnville, was visi^d. Here we found Charles Sehmitt with sleex^s rolled up and hustling among as perfect a lot of Easter plants as the writer has seen for many days. Several hundred perfect lilies are in cold frames. A magnificent lot of Ramblers are deep in color and a mass of bud and bloom. Dorothy Perkins is also very fine. Azaleas, genistas, spirajas, mar- guerites, H. P. roses and bulbous stock could not be beaten or better timed for Easter. ^ Fred Aul is a neighbor of Mrs. Sehmitt and also has a fine collection of Easter plants, bulbous stock and spiraea predominating.

They can now be pruned, but only sparingly, and in a few weeks they will put forth a fresh growth. The ob- ject in starting them as early as Septem- ber is to get them started in healthy growth before the cold weather stops operations. If you have good varieties, Buch as Bride, Bridesmaid, Papa Gon- tier, Liberty, Eainbow, Maman Cochet, Marie Van Houtte, Duchess and such everblooming tea roses, it will surprise you what a quantity of perfect blooms can be cut all winter. G. PORTLAND, ORE. We have noticed a slight falling off in the demand for cut flowers in the past two weeks and nothing worthy of spe- cial mention has transpired. It was a sort of happy medium, with no oversup- ply and odds in favor of the producer. Prospects are bright for a good Easter trade and, while there will not be the variety as in past years, we expect to have plenty of lilies, carnations and roses. The weather has been phenome- nal, the mercury ranging from 66 to 80 degrees at midday and we needed it to bring along the cut flowers. The March lion remained in seclusion and April showers are few and far between. Spring planting is still taxing the ef- forts of the plantsmen and those who make this line their specialty are unani- mous in pronouncing this season the best in history. Two weeks hence the clean- up will be complete. Eoses are a fea- ture. The geraniums and other small garden plants are not so extensively used here as in the eastern cities. "WIe write with pride that where the unsightly billboards did a flourishing business four months ago may now be seen a prettier sight. Neither is the de- sire to embellish and improve the garden confined to Portland, for the country people seem to have caught the fever and catalogue trade has been far beyond our expectations. H. J. M. SEATTLE, WASH. Florists* CM). The Seattle Florists' Association^ which was organized last November, has for its members nearly all the repre- sentative florists, gardeners and nursery- men of our thriving city. The member- ship is now thirty-four and at the next meeting will be increased to about forty. The following are the officers: Presi- dent, Joseph Chalmers; vice-president, J. W. Thompson; treasurer, Chas. Mal- mo; secretary, A. Balmer. The regular meetings have been ex- ceptionally well attended and are lield in the Chamber of Commerce the first Tuesday in each month. The essays and addresses by the different members have been very instructive and the lively dis- cussions brought out the debating powers of some of the craft 'n a surprising way. The intention is to hold a chrysanthemum show next November and a committee is now devising ways and means. An in- vitation has been received from the Port- land florists to attend the Lewis & Clark fair this summer, when a general love- feast is promised. The invitation ia looked on with extreme pleasure by the association and the intention is to get a special car and attend in a body. Carnation Cuttings NOW READY.

The supply is limited. Most growers have hit it about right with longiflorum. Harrisii are all gone. There may be enough to go around^ but it is doubtful. Azaleas, hydrangeas, spiraeas and H.

Violets are over for the season. Various Notes. The store lately occupied by Mrs. L. W. McCoy has been opened by the H. Harrington Co., Mrs. McCoy moving two doors higher up on Second avenue, into a new and up-to-date store tastefully decorated. Hopkins has moved from First avenue to the entrance to the Hinkley block, on Second avenue. Mrs. L. W. McCoy is building six houses 20x200 feet. The Woodland Park Floral Co. is putting up a propagating house and Joseph Chalmers, two houses. A. B. SAN FRANCISCO. The Market. Business is not as brisk this week as it was last and flowers are more plenti- ful also. Although the weather has been cold and windy we have had plenty of sunshine which fact has had a good ef- fect on all kinds of stuff. Carnations are a little cheaper than they have been, although the growers made an effort to keep the price up. Eoses, especially shorts, are in good supply and can be had at any price. Long-stemmed flow- ers bring very fair prices. Beauty sells wholesale at from $1.50 to $3 per doz- en. Maids and Brides bring from 35 cents to .$1, Testout and Carnot 50 cents to $1 and Liberty and Kaiserin 50 cents to 75 cents per ijozen. Easter lilies are selling wholesale at from $1.50 to $2.50 per dozen .and potted plants at from $5 to $9 per dozen. Valley at $3 to $4 per hundred has been of slow sale for sev- eral weeks. Lilac is out of season, as is all kinds of bulbous stock. 1 am in- clined to think there will be a shortage of azaleas for Easter. Owing to the con- tinued warm spring weather which we FREESIA....

Some cyclamens and Spirsea Japonica are being shown in the win- dows but the principal demand in the way of pot plants seems to be for lilies. Various Notes. C. W. Scott, of Cliicago, is in town. The Eosaia and Fregosi Co., of Geary street, have dissolved partnership. J. Fregosia has retired from the firm. H. M. Sanborn, of Oakland, is visit- ing in Monterey county.

[An extract from a paper by Josepb Meehan, read under the general beading, "Our Horticul- tural Indebtedness to Japan," before the Ger- inantown Horticultural Society, March 13, 1905.] It is well known to everyone with a fair knowledge of trees and shrubs that to Japan we are indebted for very many of the kinds which give us so much pleasure and add to the attractive- ness of our grounds. To those who do not know this, I would say had we not the Japanese sorts which are known to ns, very much of the charm our grounds are would be wanting. Among the trees which are common in our collections or should be, look for instance at the long list of maples which have come to us from Japan! The beautiful shrubby sorts, those of the Japonicum and poly- morphum type, what beauties there are among them ! I would name aureum, palmatum, dissectum, dissectum purpur- eum and polymorphum atropurpureum as particularly choice. And plant them where there is no lack of moisture in summer, but not too much shade, and the leaves take on their bright colors nicely. There are two cherries from Japan which all gardens should have, the weep- ing one, Cerasus rosea pendula, and the Sieboldi rubra plena. The former, when grafted on stems of about six feet, forms heads of much beauty, particular- ly when they are in flower in spring. The latter, Sieboldi rubra plena, is lovely when in flower; and towards fall its foliage changes to an orange crimson. The Paulownia imperialis is of great attraction in late spring when its large heads of sweet scented, blue, trumpet- shaped flowers are expanded. Let grow as it will, it does not usually make as well shaped a tree as it does when the pruning knife is used on it as it grows. The koelreuteria, a Japanese or North China tree, we must find a place for, because of the large panicles of yellow flowers it gives us in midsummer. The large seed pods which follow the flowers are a feature but little less ornamental than the flowers. When the magnolia list is reached there is a long array of them to be cred- ited to the Japanese. Among all these are the hypoleuca, Kobus, stellata, Wat- soni; and we may add the Chinese one, conspicua and its many hybrids, Soul- angeana and others. Two of the most promising of newer trees are Pterostyrax hispidum and Styrax Obassia. Those unacquainted with them have no idea of their beauty. The pterostyrax bears flowers resem- bling racemes of white wistaria, pendant from every twig of the tree. Styrax Obassia has white flowers, in narrow racemes; and the leaves of both trees and habits of growth are pleasing. Sophora Japonica is a tree long in cultivation; and there are some fine examples of it about our city. It blooms in July and August; the flowers, which are creamy white, are in such large panicles that a great display is made by them. It makes a very large, spreading tree. The well known salisburia, the maid- enhair or ginkgo tree, is also well repre- sented in these parts. All our large es- tates have one or more of them ; and Charles J. Wister has two planted as shade-trees along the street in front of his residence. The fame of the avenue of this tree fronting the Agricultural building, "Washington, is almost world-wide. It is a good shade tree as well as an orna- mental one; and its foliage is singularly free from insect and fungus attacks; and, add to all, it transplants freely. It is usually given as a Japanese tree, but botanists place it as from North China. In the way of larch we have what has now been removed from the larix or larch family, and placed under an- other name, pseudo-larix, the Pseudo- Larix Kaempferi, known as .Japanese larch. It is a good thing, and is dis- tinct in foliage from the usual run of larches. In the pseudo-larix the cones are deciduous, whereas in the larchfs they are retained on the branches all winter. Hovenin dulcis is a Japanese tree of merit. The foliage is of a shininer 100. Expreaa prepaid. William Linfoot,y'.!m. Danville, III. Mention The Review when you write. Cottage Gardens Company, inc.

THE PIONEER IRISH BULB GROWERS, ARD-CAIRN, CORK, IRELAND. M<>ntlon Thr Itcvlew when ron write. BUTTED GLASS. Please allow me to say a few words on the subject of butted glass. Mr. Jan- sen, in the issue of the Review for April 8, appears to think that he has ■ discovered something which is going to be a boon to all good florists. There are, of course, as Mr. Jansen so com- prehensively states, many "ifs" to be considered in building greenhouses, but I do not agree with him that as tight a house can be secured with butted as ■with lapped glass. Of course, with lapped glass and putty more time is neces- sary, and the first cost is greater, but the house is tight, and will remain tight, as far as water is concerned, for a number of years. There is, moreover. a, difference in the coal bill in favor of lapped glass. Butted glass, on the other hand, is never laid close enough together to ex- clude rain and cold. Of course an air- tight House is impossible to obtain by the use of either method, but one wishes to make it as tight as possible. When we wish ventilation, there are ventilat- ors for the purpose, and which have the advantage of being subject to the will of the grower. When plants are' grown in greenhouses the temperature, venti- lation and watering must be under con- trol. Mr. Jansen also says that when lay- ing butted glass, if the ends of the panes . are not squared so that an absolutely tight joint is possible, the pane should be turned over, thus bringing convex and concave surfaces uppermost in the .strip. The result is easily imag- ined. I suppose the next thing to do would be to invest in some miniature Garland gutters and place them under- neath such joints. There is certainly a great saving of city water, and ex- pensive hose for watering and syringing, besides the labor which is used every season for these jobs. Still, I prefer the hose, being a better distributor than butted glass joints. Mr. Jansen states the advantages of butted glass in seven divisions: First, rapidity in laying. Yes, it cer- tainly is quick work putting it in, but it must all be taken out again and lapped with the use of that good but "anti- %V» ■ ■ and Succulent Plants- Import— Export.

CINCINNATL <,' The Market Easter is showing up very promisingly n^. The past week was cold and cloudy and was just the kind of weather most needed to hold back the stock that has been rushing in so rapidly. It put a check on the supply and did it in a hurry. There were several pretty heavy frosts and it snowed on several occa- sions. Lilac and tulips, and some other varieties of outdoor stock, are moving along nicely and will be in full bloom by Easter. Various Notes. Ther6 was a heavy hail storm April 11 and for a while it looked as if a great deal of damage would be done to grow- ers, but most of them escaped without loss. George & Allan report the loss of some glass but the damage was not great. There will be plenty of stock of all kinds for Easter, with perhaps the sin- gle exception of carnations. But I do not doubt that there will be plenty of them showing up at the last moment. Beauties will be in fine form, as also will be bulbous stock. George & Allan have their bulbs in good shape and will hit it fine. E. G. Gillett spent a few days last week in Indiana and Michigan. He re- ports the outlook for Easter trade as first-class. T. "W. Hardesty has been in Lexing- ton, Ky., visiting his branch store. John Evans, of Richmond, Ind., spent a few days here. Le was on his way to Atlanta, Ga. Other visitors were Miss White, Lex- ington, Ky.; E. G. Hill, Richmond, and C. Ford, New York. C. J. Ohmbb. Toledo, O. — ^Krueger Bros, have begun an addition to their glass which will increase their facilities by more than one- third. Mount Gilead, O. — J. W. Munk & Bros., who built their plant by the water tower only a little over a year ago, find themselves cramped for room and are building a new house 28x120. Newbueg, N.

We pick this variety to quick) y and easily displace all other whites for first honors, not alone In exhibi- tion, but in commercial points as well. We claim for It a robustness of constitution quite unequaled in any other variety and an ease of culture that will delight the heart of the grower. The great vigor of both parents (Norway X Lawson) seems united and im- proved upon In this variety In JESSICA we have, In the red and white variegated class, what My Maryland will prove among white. It Is descended through several generations of variegated seedlings of Helen Keller and Bradt extraction on the one side and Lawson on the other. A strong, thrifty growing variegated seedling bearing the seed. It Is a trifle heavier In growth than My Maryland and just Lawson height. Aside from these differences and the color, the description of My Maryland applies to Jessica. Under favorable conditions four- inch blooms are not uncommon. We pick Jessica to win over any other variegated variety. Both of the above are free propagators.

The Market. A week of fine, crisp weather has lielped the growers somewhat in hold- ing azaleas and bulbous stock, so that the outlook for Easter is fine. Roses, carnations, valley, violets, Harrisii, hyacinths, tulips, in fact a large per- centage of what last week was con- sidered too far advanced, is in good con- dition for the week's trade. Large or- ders have been placed with the growers for all available stock and the advance orders placed with the stores for dec- orations will clean up about everything. Nearly all the shops have decorated their windows in fine style and with a change in the weather to something warmer a large trade is assured. Various Notes. W. L. Eock has one of the finest dis- plays seen here for some time, having specimen plants of azaleas, lilac, rhodo- dendrons, tulips and Crimson Ramblers in pleasing variety, making a gorgeous sight. Ed. Ellsworth, of Geo. M. Kellogg 's, has a beautiful display of natural scen- ery and large crowds are always in front of his window. Mrs. Harvey, formerly with the Al- pha Floral Co., has opened a store at Tenth and Main streets and is doing quite a business. Lawrence Schwager has a splendid window display and the increase in his force attests the large amount of busi- ness done. Ed.

I have two Wilks self-feeding water heaters rated at twenty-eight square feet of fire surface each. Are they large enough to heati an eight-room dwelling, the largest room 14x14, and two green- houses, 20x60 and twelve feet to the ridge, connected, no glass in walls? I want 52 degrees in one and 65 degrees in the other. In a third house, 18x40, a head house, I want 60 degrees. Can I place the header two feet above the boilers and run it along under the bench in the head house, tap it for each of the two houses first named, run these flows per- pendicularly to the height I need? Shall I then run it on a grade down or up? How many return pipes do I need? The place is sheltered but we often have 30 degrees below zero. ' S. N, M. I am not able to judge accurately of the capacity of your boilers from what you say. Your dwelling, however, re- quires between 700 and 750 feet of radiating surface and your three green- houses will require about 1,000 square feet of radiation. The Wilks boiler No. 30x48 is rated to carry 650 to 750 square feet of radiation, which would be about right for the dwelling. No. 42x42 is rated to carry 1,000 to 1,350 square feet of radiation, which would be suflScient for the greenhouses. A boiler with twenty-eight square feet of fire or heating surface would be capable of carrying only about 250 square feet of radiation, which is the rating of the Wilks No. 20x30, one of the smallest sizes, L, C.

Trade is very good and every one is busy. We had a slight let up in the last week but it only served to give everyone a chance to get ready for Easter, fo» which elaborate preparations have been made. The Easter business is now be- ginning and promises to beat all rec- ords. There is plenty of stock of one kind or another. After Easter convention preparations will go on apace. The confirmation by the S. A. F. executive committee of the elub's selection of Geo, H. Cooke as superintendent of the trade exhibition clears the way for work on this im- portant feature. The National Bifles Armory, on G street N. W., is well lo- cated and will accommodate a large dis- play. Supt. Cooke believes that the de- cision to keep the exhibition open dur- ing the sessions of the society will result in stimulating exhibitors to make large displays. At the Department of Agriculture fig- ures show that cut flower shipments to Canada from cities in the United States are steadily on the increase. In 1901 they amounted to $1,787, in 1902 to $4,788 and in 1903 to $5,290. BALTIMORE, MD. The Market The weather of the past week was bright and clear and the supply of cut flowers was a .little ahead of the de- mand up to Friday and Saturday of last week, when there was a shortage of carnations. A good many more could have been sold. Eoses also went well, and enough to meet all demands, with a fair supply of callas and Harrisii. A few violets made their appearance, but not of salable quality and are not fig- ured on for Easter. Variotis Notes. P. Bauer, of Govanstown, is sending in some fine valley out of frames. Lehr Bros, liave about as fine a lot of Harrisii as there is to be seen around Baltimore and all the rest of their bulbous stock will be in good shape for Easter. J. J.

April 20, lOOS. - - GLEN COVE, N.Y. The monthly meeting of the Nassan County Horticultural Society was held at the Glen Cove Greenhouses on April 5. Exhibits Trere plentiful, nearly every member present contributing something. The relation of experiences in the pro- duction of the various exhibits brought out many interesting and valuable cul- tural hints. A charming vase of that grand red carnation, Robert Craig, came from the Cottage Gardens. Special men- tion was made of a new seedling carna- tion raised by Felix Mens^^Pf the Glen ^Dve Greenhouses. Mr. Mense has named it Dosorls, and judging from his stock it is a profuse bloomer and of robust constitution. The flowers are full, well built and apparently non-bursting. An- other new seedling carnation, dark pink, Mas exhibited by Mr. Myers, superin- tendent for G. R. Sheldon. The flowers were large, full and heavily fringed. A beautiful plant of Cineraria stellata, grown by A. McKenzie, attracted much attention. The plant measured four feet in diameter. The same gentleman also exhibited an interesting dish of peas, the variety being Gradus, grown under glass. The seed was sown around Decem- ber 20 and pods were ready for pulling during the first week in March. It may be mentioned that these peas proved very appetizing to the members present, an inducement to attend, I should say. A standard gardenia profusely flower- budded and showing the marks of high culture was exhibited by T. Harrison. It was decided, until further notice, to hold the meetings in the evening. J. F. J.

The primary idea in this display win- dow is a slope on which violets are growing thickly. To prodjice this hill- side a quantity of damp sphagnum is piled up, starting a few inches from the front of the window and slanting up- ward at a convenient angle so as to rep- resent a steep ascent. Several bushels of the moss were required before the depth of four feet was reached. Over this sphagnum hill was spread a cover- ing of sheet moss and ferns, which ex- tended to the farthest edge of the win- dow floor in front and on the sides. Near the lower left corner and scattered in two or three other places on the hill- side were plunged small ferns in pots. High up on the right side and extending down, to the front of the window is a line of Boston ferns, with'^'their pots plunged and slightly tipped toward the front. Next in the process was "to make the violets grow." They were stemmed on No. 24 wire in bunches of a dozen or two, with plenty of foliage, and inserted in the moss as in design work as thickly as material at hand permitted. In order to get a good reflection from the mirror on the left, that side of the hill was also covered and dotted with the violets. Back of the clump of ferns on the right is a plant stand on which is set a broad, low vase of cut callas and Har- risii, and in the opposite back comer of the window is a tall group of Harrisii plants. On the top of the hill to the left is another plunged pot of Boston fern and a vase of Sir Watkin narcissi with their own foliage. None of these flower receptacles was visible, the effort being to represent growing plants. Just back of the hill to the left is a small group of white Dutch hyacinths shown by reflection in the mirror, as are also a few of the narcissi which were scat- tered up and down the edge of the slope. Globes of green and white soften the light on this supposed wood scene. The color then is violet, light yellow and white, with the always present green. The ferns on the right are pushed far enough forward and tipped at just such an angle as to appear to overhang the patch of violets and partly hide them, except in spots, which do not appear in the photograph. It may be deduced from this study that scenes which smack of the wild take best in city display windows. The best likeness to a wild retreat that can be produced is the attraction that will tell in the midst of the busy centers. A single feature like this violet bank, to which all the other materials introduced will be subordinate, and which as a whole can be understood at a glance, is the telling part of a window display. No fault can be found with quantities and masses of material if they are used with some idea of organization and re- lation, more or less distinct, as the work- ers' skill allows. Toward this one feat- ure let the position of every flower, the grouping of all the plants, the blending of all the colors and the selection of that most important detail, the background, all unite. Gertrude Blair. EASTER BUSINESS. Reports from all over the country in- dicate that the Easter business marked another advance over previous records for this most important of florists' holi- days. The aggregate of sales must have been considerably ahead of the best previous record. Here and there is a re- port of stock left on hand, or a whole- sale market breaking' with the overload of material on Saturday afternoon, but as a general proposition stocks were as. well cleaned up as could be expected in view of the very large supplies every- where provided. All over the country, in the largest cities *ind in the smallest villages, the flowers until after they had made cer- tain that the supplies of plants already on hand would be well cleaned out Therefore, the plant department makes a better showing than the cut flower end in the retail reports from the large cities. The skill of the growers seems to have fully overcome the disadvantages of so late an Easter, as quality was at its best everywhere and in all departments save the one item of violets, which did not cut much flgure this year. While hyacinths and tulips were not as plentiful as at earlier Easters, still there were enough for all requirements and azaleas were never shown in better .form. It is worth while noting that a^ good many lilies were a few days late. The supplies of American Beauty roses and also Liberty were under the requirements in most markets, but other roses were equal to the very large demand and in several cities there were breaks in prices. Car- nations were short in many markets, but in some cases this was because the grow- ers held their stock back until too late an hour, as from several cities came re- ports that wholesalers had considerable stock left on hand Sunday night. Never before were so large quantities of requisites used for the Easter busi- ness. The supply men have had a ban- ner season and the stock with which they loaded up the retailers has nearly all sold. This was due to the very large business done more than to the profuse A Violet Bed in the Show Window. stocks of Easter plants were beyond all precedent. Stores everywhere were jammed with flowering subjects. Little in the way of novelty was offered, but enormous quantities of the standard Eas- ter plants were everywhere in fine con- dition. The result was that where whole- sale markets are readily accessible, as in the large cities, the retailers did not make much of an endeavor to sell cut use of ribbons, matting, etc., on individ- ual subjects, as good taste is again as- serting itself in these matters and the decorators are no longer obscuring the beauty of their plants by swathing them in decorations. TO FOLLOW CHRYSANTHEMUMS. I have 9,000 square feet of glass and have sold my entire stoek of cama- J374 The Weekly Florists' Review* Afbil 27, 1905. tion plants. I expect to fill the houses with chrysanthemums the first of July. My houses are old and I cannot carry a high temperature in cold weather. What can I fill the houses with to pay after the mum season is overt J. M. C. You had better plant your chrysan- themums by June 15 if you expect to have fine flowers. One of the diflSculties or drawbacks about chrysanthemums is that they leave a lot of empty benches unless you are in or near a large city, where you can ship in Easter stock, such as lilies, azaleas, roses, etc., which will not need house room until your mums are cut and gone. How high a temper- ature you can carry has, much to do with it. If not warm enough to bring those plants I have mentioned in for Ekster, then you could grow several crops of lettuce in the beds, or you could fill up with single violets. These should be protected in cold frames until the benches are available. Sweet peas will also grow and flower in a temperature of 45 de- grees at night and good flowers of these will always sell. You can sow the seeds of these in 4-inch pots in September and keep in cold frames until the mums are gone. If you planted out a good lot of the best zonal geraniums this spring you could take cuttings in Sep- tember and October and keep them in a small space until your benches were empty. Mignonette will thrive in 40 degrees at night and. good spikes sell well and ship well. W. S. SULPHUR FOR MILDEW. Now that our houses will have to be left open more frequently in order to keep the temperature right, and when firing will have to be dispensed with, we are likely to be more or less troubled with mildew. The leaves being soft after the quick spring growth, they will be very liable to take a dose if careful ventilation is not practiced. So long as we can use fire we should use every means of eradicating mildew and prepare our plants to withstand the almost open air conditions to which they will be subjected when warm weather commences, as we all know how very difS.cult it is to get rid of the pest during summer. A periodic painting of the pipes with the sulphur mixture is the safest and surest remedy known. This should be applied somewhat as follows: Take flowers of sulphur one part, air-slaked lime one part, mix with water to the consistency of paint and apply to the pipes with a brush. If steam heat is used, this ought to be applied to the return pipes, which are seldom so hot that the sulphur will fuse, as it must be remembered that sul- phur in a state of fusion gives off fumes which are death to vegetable life. Care should also be taken not to put on too much, especially if there is a crop on, as this bleaches the color. Pinks, such as Bridesmaids, and even Beauties, are easily touched. Where hot water is used the danger is not so great as the fumes are given off more slowly. In order to derive the full benefit from ' the fumes the ventilators should be closed tightly and this can be best ac- complished during the coldest part of the night, when the temperature can be raised for an hour and a half as high as 72 degrees without danger. By persisting in this treatment and giving plenty of ventilation at all other times, mildew can be practically ban- ished. As a preventive a dusting of sulphur during bright weather, when the foliage is dry, is of great benefit and it is a safe plan to continue this treatment on both young and old stock during the entire summer or until firing is again rpsumed. A careful observer will never allow mildew to get such a hold of his stock, but that these simple remedies and pre- cautions, if intelligently applied, will pro- tect his stock against this pest. BiBES. ROSES UNDER GLASS. [A prize essay by Joseph Kennedy, read before a recent meeting of the Monmouth County Hor- ticultural Society, Oceanic, N. J.] In forcing roses it must be remem- bered that they must be carefully looked after from start to finish; that is, from the time they are put in the cutting bench until they have finished blooming. A good many growers start out in the right direction, but fail to carry out their intentions. They may propagate with success and pot along into 2^/2 and 3-inch pots, and then neglect them when they are in 4-inch pots. In my opinion a great many houses of roses are spoiled before the plants are ever benched. For instance, if they are held in pots a long time without a shift, they are apt to become pot-bound and get hard, which will cause them to lose a lot of foliage and to stand still after being benched, and unless you can get your plants well established before the approach of fall, you need never expect to get a good cut of roses before the following spring. Another essential thing in rose grow- ing is to get your young stock started in time to make good, strong plants by benching time. To do this the cuttings should be put in the sand about the mid- dle or latter part of January. Before putting in the cuttings, the propagating bench should be put in concQtion to re- ceive them. In the first place all old sand should be taken out*, the bench given a good washing, and then white- washed with hot lime. This will kill any fungus that should happen to be there. When this is dry put in fresh, clean, gritty sand, pack well with a brick and give a good watering. Then it is in condition to receive the cuttings. In selecting cuttings, always take good, strong wood, blind or flowering. Either will do, but flowering wood is preferable, as it will break away quicker and stronger. Cuttings should be made with two eyes, with the cut just be- low the bottom one. Cut off the bot- tom leaf and if the foliage is rather strong, cut a little bit off the top. In placing them in the sand krfep the foli- age all the one way. This will avoid tangling in taking them out. Care should be taken in making the cuttings, not to keep them exposed to the air for too long a period, for if they are allowed to become wilted they will not root so well. As soon as a row is put in it should te firmed with the hands and given a good watering, for if you wait until all the cuttings are put in before watering, the chances are that the first ones are wilted before the last ones are in the sand. The sun should never be allowed to strike them until they are rooted. A temperature of 60 degrees will do for the sand and 58 degrees for the house. A light syringing daily will keep them fresh until rooted. The sand should never be allowed to get dry, although if it is kept soaked all the time fungus is liable to appear, and this will ruin the cuttings. It should be kept moist and that is all. The cuttings should be rooted in about four weeks. They should then be lifted, but in doing so care must be taken so as not to break the roots, for they snap very easily at this stage. Pot in 2%- inch pots, which should by all means be clean. Do not use a very rich soil for the first potting. I have known a fine lot of young plants to be ruined by the use of too rich a soil. When potted place in a light house, temperature 58 degrees night, 70 de- grees day. They should be set on ashes and shaded from the sun until estab- lished. Syringing should be done on all bright days. Care should be taken in regard to watering. They should never 'be al- lowed to dry out, and if kept too wet the soil is apt to sour. This will check their growth. The soil should be kept in a moist condition. Syringe at least once a day in sunny weather and figure on having the foliage dry by night. When they have made a good growth and are rooted well into the soil they should be potted in 3% -inch pots. About the first of June they should be ready for benching. Before doing this the house should be cleaned irom top to bottom, including the benches, which should also he whitewashed with hot lime. This will kill all insects and by so doing give the plants a fair chance in their winter quarters. Sod, placed grass side down over the cracks, will make good drainage for the bottom of the bench. The soil, which should have been set up the previous fall, should be composed of four or five parts ''"^^ffw^fms^^f^w .'f _ Apbil 27, 1905. The Weekly Florists' Review* J 375 Easter 'Window Display of C A. Samuelson, Chicago. soil to one of cow manure, with a sprinkling of lime. Spread the soil evenly over the bench and do not fill too full. Then press lightly with the hands. The plants should be planted in broken rows about fifteen inches apart. Firm well around each plant and give each plant a good watering when fin- ished. Do not wet the whole bench, as it would be apt to sour the soil. The syringing will dampen the soil enough to keep down red spider. As the roots spread more water can be given, and so on until the bench is filled with roots. Air should be given freely day and night to give them a good healthy growth. When syringing always dampen the walks, for if the foliage is wet and floors are dry, the foliage is apt to be burned if there is a hot sun. After the plants have made a good growth and rooted well into the soil, the whole bench should be gone over and pressed down with the fingers. Some growers firm with a brick, but this will cause the soil to bake after pounding. The buds should be kept pinched off until the plants have made some good, strong wood, or until the fall, if the flowers can be spared. In pinching off these buds do not take just the bud, for this will cause the shoot to break at the top. which in time would make a tall, lanky plant, instead of a bushy one. The bud should be pinched off with at least one or two eyes. Keep the floors well dampened during the day, and if the plants do not drv off after syringing it is a good idea to go over the plants and give each a good shaking. After the plants have become well es- tablished they can be given a light mulch- ing of cow manure and soil mixed, or else a dose of wood ashes. When fall approaches great care should be given to the airing. Although a little night air at this time will keep the plants healthy and strong, if too great a change oc- curs between the night and day tem- itrature, mildew is sure to appear. This can be kept in check by the use of sulphur on the heating pipes. The night temperature should be at this time about 60 degrees and later on, when the severe cold nights come, it can be dropped to 58 degrees for Brides and Maids, for Ivory and Golden Gate 56 degrees, and American Beauties 60 de- grees. In cutting the flowers it should be remembered that it is better to sacri- fice a bloom than the wood. Two good eyes should be left, as these will make a couple of good breaks, whereas, if they are cut down to the dormant eyes, they will not break for a long time. Xeep all shoots tied up to allow free circulation of air and to allow the sun to shine through the rows. This takes time, but it will pay in the end, as the T)lauts will make a stronger growth, will dry off quicker after being syringed .'lud the stems will be straight, a great thing to be considered in a rose. Do not feed much liquid manure until after the turn of the year. An occa- sional mulch will carry them on until then. After that they can be fed liquid manure every eight or ten days, ac- cording to the weather. They should also have an application of bone meal when they get in good condition to receive it. In using cow manure for a mulch green manure should never be used. If grafted stock is preferred, the Man- etti is the best stock to graft on. This is procured from Europe, and when it arrives it should be heeled in in a cool place, where frost will not strike it. This will keep them in a dormant condi- tion until wanted for grafting, which should be about the beginning of Janu- ary. Pot them up in 2%-inch pots and place in a temperature of from 40 to 50 degrees. When they have made good root action and the sap is flowing they are ready for use. A case should be built of proper size. This should be made of boards with a glass top. It should be air-tight and ashes should be placed in the bottom to retain the moisture. The Manetti should be cut near the pot, on a slant and from one-half to three-fourths of an inch in length. The scion should be cut to fit this as near as possible. It is necessary that the bark should meet on one side, and if it can be made to fit both sides, so much the better. Tie with rafiSa and place in the case. When this is full close the case and keep it closed for at least four days, when it can be opened to give a crack of air. Leave open for a few minutes only. Repeat the following day, and so on until they have "taken." WTien the union is complete and they are properly hardened off they can be taken out and put with the other young stock and brought along the same way. The case should be kept at a tempera- ture of 80 degrees, but if this cannot bo maintained 75 degrees will do. In planting grafted stock in benches al- ways get the graft below the surface of the soil. Clinton, Mo. — The businrss of E. A.

J 376 The Weekly Florists' Review^ Apbil 27, 1905. SAVING FREESIAS. In the Review for April 20 I read a note on freesia, signed W. S. Now, I cannot resist the temptation of a few remarks, and I hope they won >.t be feund amiss. W. S. in his article advises an inquirer not to save his freesia bulbs over for another year, as they won 't pro- duce as fine flowers the second year as they did the first. This is a very mis- taken idea, for freesia will produce as fine flowers, not only for one, two or three years, but for as many years as they are kept and planted. I have been growing the same stock for twenty-two years, with not even the addition of a single fresh bulb, except what I produced from seed, and I can — -- say positively that I have the finest - - freesia in the world, as all that have seen it can testify, and they have been grown in greenhouses and saved over all that time. Had I known W. S.'s opin- ion I would have sent him some sam- ple blooms which would have made him change his mind about it not paying to save one's bulbs over another year, as I read another article on freesia by him some little time ago. It is all very well to advise buying bulbs every summer, but where is the use of it if the ones that are thrown out are just as good as the ones you buy? If the growers in California and other freesia producing places would pay more attention to purifying the freesia they send out each year, so that their customers can be assured of get- ting better stock than the preceding year, then it certainly would pay to buy each year. But when one gets the same naixture from year to year, then I ad- vise everyone to save the bulbs and cull out the poor ones as they appear and they can rest assured that they wiJl get the selfsame quality of flowers the second year and as many years as they care to plant them, as they did the first, if they are grown in the same way. Greenhouse culture never injures the m no way injures the pips. The size of the bulb is no indieation of qual- ity of flower, for the . very smallest, poorest flowers may be the ones that will have the largest bulb, j The freesia, da grown in Calif ouhia, is grown for size and quality of bulffe and not for quality of flowers. That does not seem to be taken into consideration at all, the only thing that shohld be con- sidered, since that is the end for which' the bulb is grown. The bulbs are planted and left to flower and go to seed, which drops and produces flowering bulbs in one season, which are mixed with the other bulbs for sale or future planting. Freesia seed is like carnation seed. There may not be on^ good- bulb out of a thou- sand seedlings. If anyone has a selected stock of freesia they should be care- ful to pick all flowers and allow none to ripen seed to drop in the soil where the freesia is grown. R.

William Scott's remarks as to the young florists of the country in the Soring Number were especially interest- ing and valuable. In thdr love for the business, their intelligent understanding of it, their practical knowledge and their devotion to its progress lie the hopes of floriculture for coming generations. In this connection the accompanying illustration of the independent enterprise of the Schultheis boys, of College Point, L. I., is appropos. They are the sons of Anton Schultheis. There is another partner who did not get in the picture, but he has his quarter interest just the same. These boys, from 13 years down, built this house themselves and the "of- fice" adjoining, dug the pit and built the boiler house, not visible here, and another little house for propagating pur- poses, and have been given free rein by their practical father to buy, sell and make money in their own way, and they are doing it.

They bought their own boiler, with a capacity for two more ' ' houses ' ' which they will construct in their spare time this summer. And so they are laying the foundation for a practical knowledge of the business in THRIPS ON CUCUMBERS. I have been troubled with thrips for the past two years and have not been able to get rid of them. They usually eat out one house a year for me. I have fumigated with hydrocyanic acid gas without much result, and it would always burn the leaves and hurt the crop. At best it would only stun the thrips and in two days I could not see but what there were just as many of them as be- fore. If there is any way to get rid of thrips without damage to the crop, I would be pleased to know it. I grow cucumbers exclusively and my houses are 23x1 SO, five feet to the eaves and twelve feet six inches to the ridge. How shall I fumigate? c. C. S. I have never been able to destroy thrips by fumigation. Tobacco will not reach them and hydrocyanic gas, if used strong enough to kill them, will surely injure the plants, cucumbers being one of the plants which are very susceptible to injury from this gas. Syringing and spraying are the only means I know to keep them in check. In this case, as in most others, prevention is better than cure and if syringing is judiciously done Ironi the time the plants are started it can be relied on to j)revent serious at- tacks. The water will not kill the mature insect, but it will certainly upset their family arrangements and prevent their getting established. A rather strong snray is best for this purpose, as the leaves are tender and easily torn and water applied in force from a strong nozzle would be sure to do injury to the foliage. Spraying with a solution of Ivory soap or some of the numerous com- •1 nreparations of tobacco will also be found beneficial, but the spraying must be thoroughly done, so as to reach every part of the foliage. The insects mostly harbor on the under side of the leaf, but should this be made uninhabit- able, they will make themselves at home on the upper side and quickly get down to business. The mature insect is quite a lively little customer and can be de- pended on to hop around pretty lively in ■ .4 !%?*'•- . "■ ■ -'■ Apbil 27, 1905.

The hairy nature of the leaf is apt to prevent the spraying material from reaching the insects, so that a very fine spray should be used for doing the work to insure the thor- ough coating of both the under and upper surfaces of the foliage. The ma- ture insects are pretty hard to kill, but in the earlier stages of their develop- ment they are not so hard to destroy, hence, by starting when the plants are smull and syringing or spraying fre- quently, it is not such a hard matter to prevent their accumulation, but if once they get established, it is certainly a hard matter to clean them out. W. S. Croydon. SOWING SEEDS. I have attempted on several occasions to offer advice on the art of sowing seeds. W. C. Egan, of Highland Park, 111., kind- ly sends me directions "How to Sow Seeds," by the horticultural editor of the Chicago Evening Post. The method is, perhaps, better adapted to cocoanuts than calceoloria or begonia seeds, but is so thorough and scientific that I will re- print it here with the confidence that nothing further will be asked from me on this important and delicate operation of gardening. W. S. I have my ground all ready for planting, but the crust over It has become so hard that I can't push the seeds through without breaking or bending them. What would you advise me to do? SIMPLEX. There are several methods of seeding through a sun-baked crust in order to avoid the com- mon practice of going over the dug ground a second time with a rake. One rough and unskilled way is to place the seeds the right distance apart on the surface of the crust and then drive them through with a uail punch and a hammer. The chief objec- tion to this is that the sharp edges of the punch are likely to scratch the seeds or cut through their waterproof covering, and thus permit moisture to rot them. The most approved method is planting with a drill — every person has heard of a seed drill —and it may be done after this fashion: Take a small breast drill stock and a number of steel twist drills, varying In size according to the outside dimensions uf the seeds to be planted. Take the sizes of the seeds with a small pair of calipers. Select a seed and the place where you wish to plant It. Then with a small hammer and a center punch indent the surface of the crust. This mark will give the drill a start. Lean the stock against your chest and turn the crank briskly. Drill Into the earth two or three inches. Into the hole drop the seed, pouring fine earth on top of it through a small fnnnel. When the hole is filled, tamp it hard with the head of a tenpenny nail till the hole Is filled within a quarter-Inch of the top. Close the top of the hole with hot sealing wax. Seeds planted in this way have been known to remain practically unimpaired (or several years. The chiet point Is to keep the seeds from get- ting wet. A wet seed soon swells and loses all Its delicate symmetrical outlines. CLEMATIS. Having had no experience with clem- atis, will you please tell me if two- year-old Jackniani, Henryi or paniculata will bloom? F. C. A. The clematis but two years old will flower very little, if any, the year you plant them out and would not even if they were more than two years from the graft or cutting. Do all you can to get them to thrive and make good roots the first year. Then you can ex- pect they will send up shoots the follow- ing year and bear some blossoms. The Jackmani and Henryi, which are hy- brids, as well as the paniculata, which is -»i species, are not deciduous, but in our northern states are treated as such and we depend on the strong growths from roots each year. Have patience and with good culture produce a strong plant. W. S. EVERGREEN, ALA. Geo. W. Caldwell, the pioneer wild smi- lax man, is shipping a new decorative green to the northern markets. It is a very pretty thing. Mr. Caldwell says he thinks it much prettier than wild smi- lax, but is afraid the trade will have to call it by some other name than the one which properly belongs to it, for it is a huckleberry and he says he is afraid that Mrs. Gotrocks will not consent to have the church decorated for Goldie's wed- ding with a green that is so vulgarly suggestive of blueberry pie. If anyone can suggest a good name for this very handy green, he will confer a favbr by sending Mr. Caldwell a postal card. LA FAYETTE, IND. Hail on the night of April 20 broke considerable glass in the various green- house establishments and did some dam- age to Easter stock. H. Roth suffered the heaviest loss. At his place 1,000 panes of glass were broken and the broken glass destroyed about $200 worth of Easter plants. F. Dorner & Sons Co. was not hit so hard, although several hun- dred lights of glass were broken and some injury done to stock. At J. Bald- win's place, a damage of about $200 is reported. Although the quantity of Easter stock J378 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Apbil 27, 1005. was somewhat reduced by the injury done by the storm, still a good business was done. ONERAHIA HYBRIDS. Alois P. Frey, the head-gardener at Lincoln park, Chicago, has the true plant breeders' instinct and has set on foot a number of hybridizing operations which promise interesting and valuable results. One of his earliest eflforts was with the cineraria and with it he 'has been ""able ■ to achieve almost immediate re- sults because of the plasticity of the genus. As all who have saved their own seed of cinerarias know, in two or three years there will be marked deterioration in the plants unless hybridized, accord- ing to the practice of those who make a specialty of growing cineraria seed for the trade, Mr. Frey's early training in- cluded a course at some of the big Eu- ropean seed and plant growing estab- lishments and, being thoroughly familiar with the process and results of hybridiz- ing this plant, he was led to cross Cine- raria stellata, the small-flowered species, with the large-flowered form, C. hybrida. The accompanying illustrations show the original flowers and the new forms. Plants of the several forms are also shown. The crossing in either direction takes more of the character of stellata in both crosses. These plants were recently shown be- fore the Chicago Florists' Club and re- ceived honorable mention. They have formed a conspicuous and attractive feature in a mass in the early spring dis- play at Lincoln park. BUFFALO. Tfie Easter Business. The long looked for week is past and we hope that in no case were the prepa- rations in vain. Up to Saturday morn- ing it had here been anything but pleas- ant weather, but Saturday and Sunday were glorious days. The latter should be a day of rest and recreation, but many '•florists are near cemeteries, and with them it was a great day's business and what was left over on Saturday was very profitably cleaned up. A telephone call on a half dozen of the Main street florists gave me a pretty good idea of how business was and it is pretty safe to say that the extent of their business is a good criterion of all the rest. All say it was an increase over any past year. The lowest estimate was ten per cent, the highest thirty per cent. An- other feature they agree on was that A Seedling of Gneraria Hybrida Crossed with C Stellata. brought a material change in size and character of flower. In each case the pol- len parent appears to have exercised a potent influence on the progeny. This can be seen in the illustrations showing the plants. In each case the flowers were somewhat smaller than the flowers of C, hybrida but very much larger than the flowers of C. stellata. The variation in color characteristic of the family is seen in these hybrids. Furthermore the profusion of bloom of the hybrids is apparent. The growth of the plants plants more than ever were the leading sales, far exceeding in amount the cut flower side of the business. In cut flowers, carnations were in great de- mand and entirely sold out. Violets and lily of the valley sold well, and, of course, roses, as usual, of all medium priced varieties were cleaned up. There was a grand lot of Beauties disposed of because the price asked was within reach of many. Bulb stock was little asked for, W, J. Palmer & Son were more than satisfied and report a large increase. They put lUies and azaleas as in most demand and made-up baskets of plants, averaging in price from $8 to $15. In the wor£ of Mr. Beyer, the manager of the uptown store, ' ' The baskets sold just as fast as we could make them up.*^' Joseph H. Bebstock said lilies, azaleas, Rambler roses and hybrid roses were the best sellers with him, - S. A. Anderson made a grand window of bougainvillea which attracted great" attention. He says after the favorites, lilies and azaleas, the rhododendrons and lilacs sold well. He had some large home- grown Crimson Bamblers which all went. Miss Bachel Bebstock was in the best of spirits and I could tell by her voice on the wire that she was telling the truth and that she was not "intoxicated with exuberance of her own verbosity." She said: "Business fine. An increase over last year, and then you know, business was fine last Easter. Azaleas, lilies, rhododendrons, H. P. roses, Bamblers and heather all sold splencUdly. Yes, that's a fact. I am going to the Adi- rondack mountains for two weeks' trout fishing," and then "central" cut us off. L. H. Neubeck said his business was at least twenty per cent over last year. In addition to standard Easter plants he noticed that rhododendrons were great favorites. Pans of hyacinths and "daf- fies" sold well, but not tulips. He had a fine lot of Hydrangea Otaksa, but they were not in demand, and that we heard from others. H. Keitsch & Son reported a decided improvement over last year and an all around stock was entirely cleared out. The William Scott Co. and D. New- lands & Co., who are both near Forest Lawn cemetery, were rushed up to 6 p, m, Sunday, waiting on the thousands who visited the silent city. So it appears that while there was no pronounced distinctive feature at this Easter, it is growing year by year stronger in the direction that it has tended for years past, a pretty growing plant more or less expensive and ninety per cent of these are bought for pres- ents to friends. Fashions and customers change, we know, yet it is not easy to foresee that this laudable, innocent and pleasing way of remembering friends can soon or ever be displaced by any new fad. Nothing can be so appropriate for a mutual greeting as the harbingers of spring, sweet flowers. What the public will demand is nov- elty, something new in our plants. It is true the variety now grown is great to what it was even twenty years ago, when old lilium candidum was our standard Easter plant, but fine as are the many plants now grown, we must keep on progressing. The increase of business in our city is only normal, for it is a bigger town than it was last year and has more people who can afford luxuries. We do not know how it is in other cities, but the church decorations are entirely a thing of the past. You do not even hear it mentioned. Twenty-five years ago col- umns of the daily papers would describe the decorations. Now it is all covered by a brief paragraph, "The churches were decorated with cut flowers and potted plants." I hate that word, potted plants. It reminds you of potted ham or potted pigs' feet. We have to thank the parsons for the loss of this part of the business, for they preached against the decorations being done by Apbil 27, 1905.

The business is greater than ever, but in another di- rection. I regret to say that during Mr. Kas- ting 's busy week his good wife was taken down seriously sick. There is now every hope of her recovery, and we all sincerely trust it may be so. Excuse me, Mr. Editor, I used the word "sick," not "ill." Sick is correct, for we have the Bible as an authority. "Ill" is a late importation of modern English. W. S. ELMIRA, N. Y. The Easter trade this year has been very satisfactory, both in respect to de- mand and prices. The demand was such that growers were turning away orders early in the week. This was partly owing to thei extra demand and partly to the protracted spell of dark and inclement weather just previous to Easter week, which considerably shortened the cut. Boses were good and not over plentiful and ranged in price from $4 to $8 per hundred for teas. Meteors were $4 to $10. Beauties were plentiful and in good demand at from $3 to $10 per dozen, according to length of stem. Carnations were very scarce, not nearly enough to go around, which helped to keep prices up. They sold readily at $3 for common, $4 to $5 for select and $6 to $7 for special, but even at higher of- fers they could not be purchased toward the end of the week. There was a fair supply of nice lilies which easily brought 12% cents per bud. Lily of the valley was scarce but not in great demand, the best quality realizing $3.50 per hundred. Owing to the warm spell of two weeks ago and the lateness of the season, vio- lets were scarce and of poor quality. There was an abundance of greens, such as smilax, asparagus, etc., and a fair demand for it. Bulbous stock was plen- tiful but the demand was slow and, in- deed, it is a question if there is any profit in this class of stock, and many of the growers have almost given up hand- ling it for Easter trade and the pros- pects for our Holland friends are poor so far as this city is concerned. There was a good trade in flowering and decorative plants, the retailers claiming this as one of their best sea- sons on these lines, the various stores showing handsome specimens of azaleas, lilies, palms, etc., and I noticed that by Saturday they were well cleaned up» — TJ15, United. States Cut Flower Co., which is exclusively wholesale, had an exeeptionally fine cut of roses, particu- larly Beauties. They also had an im- mense stock of Easter lilies, which were of a high grade and sold well. I regret to have to announce the sud- den demise of Hulbert Gibbs. He was with The United States Cut Flower Co. from the start and had by his genial manner won the respect and friendship of all. Mr. Gibbs was thirty-two years of age and unmarried. R. BLUE HYDRANGEAS. "On a recent visit to Messrs. J. Veitch & Sons," says a writer in the Horticul- tural Trade Journal, "I noted a fine lot of plants, most of them having from five to seven heads of bloom, and those fully developed were of a clear deep blue, certainly the most distinct shade of blue we have seen. It is the variety known as Hortensia rosea, and the color is obtained by potting in soil that con- tains a certain amount of iron, and alum is dissolved in the water used for water- ing. Although an artificial means of obtaining the color, the deep blue heads of bloom are very pretty and form a striking contrast to the deep pink of the normal form of Hortensia rosea, which is the brightest rosy pink variety growB, The individual flowers and the heads of bloom are not so large! as the ordinary Hortensia, but it is very free and should be worth taking in hand by market growers. This variety is grown exten- sively by Messrs. Truffaut & Sons, of Versailles, and in conversation with Mr. Truflfaut I learned that they bring them on to flower at Christmas and New Year, when they are much in demand A Seedling of Cineraria Stellata G-ossed with C Hybrida. vis ■■; >*•■<:•■ .^^i^^{icholson'8 Prosperity made -"filO, the highest of anj' carnation on the market. A fair quantity of violets appeared. Doubles averaged $1, while extra good singles made up to $1.30. The prevailing price on lilies .•ip]>eared to be 12Va cents per flower. Ihese sold well and showed a hardening tendency as the day advanced. Callas brought $10 to $12.50 per hundred. Bulbous stock sold better than usual. Double daffodils made $2.50 to $3; singles, like Oohlen Spur and Trumpet ^Major, $2 to $2.50. Narcissus poeticus made $2. Tiilii)S varied from $2 to $4 and Spanish iris all the v.ay from $2 to $5. Sweet peas were unusually fine, at prices from 75 cents to $2. Some extra fine white stocks were shown, the best making $6. Valley averaged from $3 to $4 and mar- guerites 75 cents to $1.25, the yellow selling best. Spiraja sold at from $1.50 to $2 ])cr hundred, proving a rather slow seller. Pansies made 50 cents per hundred. There was the usual assort- ment of other seasonable flowers, delud- ing some very fine candytuft, antirrhin- ums, myosotis, English primroses, anem- ones, cornfiowers, lilac, etc. It is each year heecming more ap- parent that plants are taking ircceuenee over cut flowers at Easter. Tiif: sale of these in Boston was larger than ever before and the quality better. Lilies, of course, were in largest request. They appeareu more free from diMabo than for several years. The lateness of the season seemed to make them more abundant. The growers cleaned out every pot of these. Hardly any Harrisii are grown for this market, longiflorum seeming to have the call. Only one or two lots of L. candidum were seen and these a ghost of what they ought to have been. Crimson Rambler roses seemed to sell in largest quantity, next to lilies. A perceptible difference could be seen in stock which had been grown along in pots and those which had been potted last fall. Some ' nice Dorothy Perkins, F'arquhar and Baby Ramblers were seen, also various hybrids. Azaleas, owing to the lateness of the season, were less numerous, but sold well. Acacias were in small supply, but marguerites, rhododen- drons, spiraeas, pink and bl,ue hydran- geas, genistas, Canterbury bells and bulbous stock in variety were seen in quantity. Smaller lots of boronias, kal- mias, andromedas, clivias, clematis, eri- cas anu epacris were displayed. In palms, kentias sold weil and there v,as also. a good call for ferns and assorted fern dishes. The weather earJy on Saturday was dark and threatening. This caused a feeling of hesitancy on the part of re- tail buyers, but happi!/ toward noon the sun broke through the clouds and the remainder of the dny was clear and bright, without wind, a good day for moving plants. Easter Sunday, although cool, was clear and Easter weather con- ditions were certainly very satisfactory. Easter With the Growers. Thomas Roland, of Nahant, reports that his stocks of Crimson and Pink Ramblers and hybrid roses, hydrangeas, genistas, acacias and Canterbury bells were cleaned out and that he was well satisfied with Easter trade in plants. E. N. Peirce & Co. sold out all of their immense stock of lilies, sending out about 25,000 pots of longiflorum during Easter week. W. W. Edgar had a big sale for azaleas, genistas. Ramblers, and hybrid roses, hydrangeas and spiraeas. He sent in some nice spikes of Lilium candidum to the Park street market. A. Leuthy & Co. state that azaleas sold unusually well, every plant going. Eas- ter lily trade was less brisk than some years, probably owing to practically everyone having them. Genistas of all sizes sold freely. Clivias sold well in limited quantitidl. Kentias afid arecas, especially in latter sizes for decorative work, were in good demand and on ferns and fern combinations they had an aver- age trade. Frank T. White's spiraeas from home- grown clumps were away ahead of any imported stock. E. Sutermeister also had very fine stock of these. Mann Bros, had an unusually fine trade in rhododendrons and Pink and White Ramblers. William Sim had the finest single vio- lets seen. His Easter pick of these was 50,000. He also had 40,000 sweet peas. William Nicholson sold 5,000 margue- rites early on April 22, yellow taking the best. His Prosperity carnations again made top notch prices. Tailby, of Wellesley, sold 5,000 double yellow daffodils very quickly. He says he never saw this flower sell better for Easter. He had unusually fine pots of lily of the valley and splendid Spanish iris. Oscar L. Dorr sold 75,000 Campbell violets at the Park street market at an average price of $1 per hundred. W. H. Elliott had superb Liberties for Easter. In the culture of this fine rose he is hard to beat. The Beauties, Brides, Maids and Wel- lesley from Waban Conservatories were wonderfully fine. The last named is a fine seller. Charles E. Holbrow, of Brighton, ha-J remarkably fine Rambler roses at the Park street market. At the Retail Stores. Galvin's stock of Easter lilies at Tre- moiit street and Back Bay Conservatories was immense and of fine quality. He had the best acacias seen, also fine gar- denias, Pink Ramblers and other season- able pot plants. Carbone carried a fine lot of ericas, boronias, clematis, kalmias, Dorothy Perkins rose and Azalea Temperance. Doyle had a superb stock of lilies. Those in 10-inch pots, three stems to a pot went well. His Ramblers were the best seen. He also had fine Canterbury bells. McMulkin's Easter window, composed entirely of white flowers relieved by a few plants of Baby Rambler and Colmar grapes, was very beautiful. Houghton & Clark had extra fine aza- leas, genistas, gardenias, ericas and kal- mias. Hoffman, on Massachusetts avenue, made a specialty of Easter lilies, yellow marguerites and Crimson Ramblers. His large windows were very effectively ar- ranged. Wax Bros, have extra fine Ramblers, azaleas, marguerites and pink hydran- geas. Various Notes. All the commission houses did a big Easter business, Welch Bros. ' being of enormous volume. The dealers in green- ery also were kept busy, Henry M. Rob- inson & Co. especially so. Trade since Easter has been very good, a large number of weddings and jtlenty of social activity causing a good demand for flowers. Prices are holding up remarkably well. Geo. E. Buxton, of Nashua, is suffer- ing from an attack of lumbago. S. J. Goddard has completed a new sixty-foot propagating house. His rooted cutting trade had far outgrown his fa- cilities for handling it. Edward Wood, of Lexington, had some nice Spiraea Van Houttei for Eas- ter. This makes a . pretty plant for church decorations. Governor W. L. Douglas has appointed April 29 as Arbor day for promoting forestry and restocking the state's tree- less lands. The committee on ways and means of the state legislature has reported a bill for the suppression of the brown tail and gypsy moths. The bill calls for the expenditure of $75,000 in 1905, $150,- 000 in 1906, and $75,000 in 1907, and $10,000 additional each year for natural parasites. Bay State Nurseries are doing the big- gest spring trade in their history. Over 100 men are kept busy getting orders out. Growers of Easter plants complain of tlie competition of 10-cent and other stores, which sold quantities of Easter plants at absurdly low rates this year. Some concerted action among members April 27, 1005. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 1381 of the trade will be necessary to stop this. Some growers think no harm, but rather good, comes from these stores sel- ling plants cheaply. They pay cash and sell to people who are usually unable to pay regular florists' store prices. V. M. Cutter, of South Framingham, is building Alexander McKay's new houses, Lord & Burnham Co. supplying th3 material. • — ~ James Farquhar has returned from a several months' stay in Porto Rico. Indications are that a large number will attend the Gardeners' and Florists' Club field day at A. H. Hews & Co.'s factory on April 29. Carnation Harry Fenn has sold won- derfully well the past season in Boston. Florists'aub. At the last meeting of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club, briefly referred to in our last, fifty-seven members were pres- ent. A very interesting debate took place over the alleged detsrioration in roses, carnations and other florists' flowers. F. E. Palmer started the ball rolling by asking if it was a fact that forcing conditions cause deterioration. He classed these conditions as an out- rage of nature. Alexander Montgomery had not seen any deterioration in Bride roses the last tan or fifteen years. In fact, they are better than ever. He showed leaf stalks of Bride carrying seven instead of five leaflets to illus- trade improvement. Meteor was the only rose he could think of which had declined. It has been grown far too hot. Cniiditions of light, temperature and ven- tilation were now as near perfect as pos- sible for roses and certainly he had never seen superior flowers of the leading forc- ing roses, as shown at the recent Boston show. He did not believe any of the pojmlar forcing roses would deteriorate in twenty-five years, grown under right conditions. W. H. Elliott considered all forcing roses are doing better than ever before. H. P. roses if forced would decline, just as azabas forced each year early "would do if propagated from. He pre- fers stock grown as far north as possi- ble. Speaking of the decline in forcing of H. P. 's, he said they do not pay to grow. Brunner sells because it is so like American Beauty that it can be palmed off for it. Perle has declined in popularity, as when in best health it threw so many ill-formed flowers. H. A. Stevens spoke of the splendid hedges of La France rose he had seen in California and of the way carnations are grown and propagated there. He thought carnations were short-lived here. W. J. Stewart, speaking of the desire ex- pressed for a first-class yellow rose, V.,- 1382 The Weekly Florists' Review. APalL 27, 190S. PHILADELPHIA. Easter Trade. The volume of business in plants and cut flowers at Easter was the largest ever experienced in this city. The grow- ers of blooming plants as a rule sold their entire product, while the retailers will require what little they have left for decorations this week. The quantity of cut flowers used exceeded expecta- tions and prices were high and well main- tained until Saturday, when the warm weather of that and the day before brought in an excess that could have been used to advantage earlier in the week. As it was, prices fell on Saturday afternoon. The department stores made large ex- hibits of all the standard blooniing plants except azaleas, which undoubtedly stim- ulated the demand in the florists' shops. They feold their stock on a very small margin, using it chiefly as an advertise- ment. The street men bought heavily on Saturday at unusually high (for them) prices. The street buyers declined to pay the prices asked, compelling many of the Greeks to sell at a loss, a rare occurrence. While an immense quantity of lilies were used, both cut and in pots, the sup- ply exceeded the demand. Select stock for shipping brought 12 to 15 cents per bud and bloom. Good stock brought 10 to 12 cents. Very large lots brought 9 cents and some ordinary stock 8 cents. Leftovers were offered on the curb as low as 5 cents on Saturday night. Azaleas were not pushed, being in short supply. Many were sold but they were not so prominent as last year. Eamblers were fine and in good supply. The proximity of planting-out season seemed to increase their popularity. The same, perhaps to a lesser extent, is true of hydrangeas, their popularity as porch and lawn plants being markedly on the increase of late years. Spirteas were well done as a rule and in brisk demand, especially for church and cemetery decorations. The limited quantity of genistas grown was eagerly bought. Their quality was excellent. Daffodils in pans and in pots seemed to sell better than usual. This will give a general idea of our plant situation. There was a variety of other plants, including a few Baby Ramblers. The features of the cut flower market were violets, valley and sweet peas. De- spite the predictions that violets would be very scarce, there were at least 100,- 000 doubles in the market, at prices ranging from $1 to $1.50, a few fancies bringing $2. More could undoubtedly have been used, very many more, had the price been lower. There were a few singles, a rara avis, on Saturday at the Leo Niessen Co., at 50 to 75 cents. It was the greatest week this market has ever had in valley. S. S. Pennock, as usual, got 5 cents for his brother's royal brand. Good stock brought 4 cents, ftr- dinary, 2% to 3 cents. The demand was brisk. The Leo Niessen Co. received 5,000 on Sunday morning when the mar- ket was bare, a great godsend. Sweet peas were of fine quality and very popular. Prices ranged from $1 to $2.50 per hundred. Gardenias were more plentiful than anticipated. They brought $2.50 to $4 a dozen, a few of the best a little more. Good daflfodils sold remarkably well at $4, daisies at $1.50 and even $2. Tulips brought $3 and $4. Smilax was in short supply. Very light strings brought 20 cents. Or- chids were scarce. Carnations did not equal the demand. Fancy Prosperity and Enchantress brought 8 and even 10 cents, Lawson 6 cents. Good ordinary stock brought 4 cents. The street men paid 2 and 2% cents for culls to their sorrow. Until Saturday afternoon roses were also scarce, except, curiously enough. Brides, usually prized at Easter. A num- ber of growers had houses of Kaiserins in crop and both Bride and- Kaiserin suffered, prices falling as low as 5 cents for good stock, though much of it brought 10 to 12 cents. Bridesmaids were 12 to 15 cents. Beauties, specials, brought $5 to $7 a dozen, with me- dium grades hard to obtain; shorts 75 cents to $1. The street paid as high as $4 a hundred for cull tea roses. They won 't be so rash again. Liberty brought $1.50 to $3 a dozen for fancies, a few $4. J. William Colflesh is cutting a few nice Jacqueminot. Personal Mention. Time and opportunity have admitted of taking in only a few of Philadelphia 's many florists. Their views and experi- ences may be of interest. Godfrey Aschmann had a great Eas- ter. He experienced a heavy demand for azaleas and sold virtually every- thing. William J. Baker was well pleased. He did especially well with fine daffodils and daisies. H. H. Battles did a very heavy business in plants and flowers, both at "108" and the Century. He has a number of weddings this week. Berger Bros.' business far exceeded that of last Easter. They had some of the finest sweet peas in the city. William Berger grew and sold more plants than ever before. A ' ' sold out ' ' sign was posted Saturday. Eugene Bernheimer was well pleased. Robert Craig & Son did a great busi- ness in plants. Everything sold well, lilies, both cut and in pots. Ramblers, azaleas, genistas, begonias, etc. George Craig had all he could do. A large decoration on Wednesday cleaned up the surplus plants. Robert Crawford, Jr., had as good if not better Easter than ever before. Plants were very fine and sold well. He noticed an increased demand for daflfo- dils and tulips. Fred Ehret was well satisfied. Every- thing good sold well. J. J. Habermehl's Sons' business at the Bellevue-Stratford exceeded their ex- pectations. It was chiefly on choice cut flowers. Violets were foremost. Haber- mehls' bar" the handsome decoration for the Knights of Columbus ball at the Academy of Music Monday. Hugh Graham did an immense busi- ness, using all his own and much other stock, besides including Jacob Becker's fine hydrangeas. He shipped a good lot of plants and his product was seen all over the city. William K. Harris had a great Easter on every variety of his well grown stock of plants. Julius Koehler & Son had some extra fine hydrangeas. They did well on every- thing. The Flower Market's business satisfied the high standard of Charles E. Meehan. They did well on Beauties, gardenias, lilacs, carnations, valley, violets, etc. The Leo Niessen Co. was obliged to | refuse late orders on plants after filling more orders than last year. Their cut fiower business was the best they have had, which is saying a good deal. Pennock Bros.' Easter* business ex- ceeded that of 1903 and 1904, which were about equal, and the best up to that time, by ten per cent. A great showing. Samuel S. Pennock sold 75,000 double violets. His plant and cut fiower or- ders were ahead of last season. The Philadelphia Cut Flower Co. showed a bfg gain on last year. The demand exceeded the supply. Their stock was excellent. Edward Reid shipped a large number of plants and cut flowers, besides doing a good local business. He seemed well pleased. John and W. H. Westcott did a large and very satisfactory business, both wholesale and retail. Ttie Market This week is a very busy one. Almost all of the Easter social season will be crowded into it. There are a great many weddings. Prices have fallen about fifty per cent on most flowers. The Flower Market seems to have nearly all the double violets that are left. Sweet peas are in good demand. The Leo Niessen Co. has some good lavender. Beauties are fine and cheap ; so are lilies. Bulbous stock is nearly over. Smilax is scarce. Varioos Notes. Charles P. Poryzees ' store in the Hase- leine building, 1426 Chestnut street, was destroyed by fire on Sunday morning about 2 o'clock, an hour after it had been closed. The fixtures and orders for delivery on Easter morning were de- stroyed. Mr. Poryzees has concentrated his force in his other store at 29 South Fifteenth street. Xavier E. Schmidt has arranged a beautiful display of Easter blooming plants in Horticultural hall, in Fair- mount park, which is enjoyed by thou- sands of visitors. In the big storm the other day Alex- ander Scott & Son 's big new greenhouse, ready for glazing, was blown down. The Lord & Burnham Co. has sent men to help repair the damage. Phil. DAVENPORT, lA. Death of Mrs. Temple. Mrs. Josephine Temple, wife of J. T. Temple, died April 20, at St. Luke's Hospital, where she had been confined for the past month. Death was due to a complication of diseases resulting from a cold which she contracted at the time of the fire at the Temple place last De- cember. Mrs. Temple was bom in Lon- don, England, January 1, 1846, and came to America at the age of four years. She was married to J. T. Temple in Daven- port December 30, 1868, and the couple have lived at the present home on North Brady street ever since. Besides her husband there survive three brothers in South Dakota. The funeral took place from the home of Mr. Temple's sister, Mrs. W. L. Downs, and interment was in Pine Hill cemetery. HoBABT, Ind. — A.

A good deal of stock came into the market on Monday and more on Tuesday and Wednesday, and there was a very light demand, with the result that prices took a decided tumble. There is plenty of everything, with the possible excep- tion of smilaz, and quality is very good all along the line, but it looks as though there is no hope of high prices again this season. The bottom of the market will be fixed by what the Greeks and depart* ment stores will give and the bulk of the stock will go out through these outlets in spite of the fact that a good man^ orders have been booked by the retailers for social and wedding decorations. Easter Wholesale Trade. The wholesale demand for cut flowers established a new record for Easter. Supplies of stock were very large, fully adequate in most lines, but prices held firm up to Sunday except on low grade roses and one or two surplus lines, like callas and white tulips, for which there was little can. Shipping demand exceeded all previous experiences but was mostly done on Fri- day. Practically all orders were filled except for colored carnations. Beauties and Liberties were also short. Lilies of good quality sold well and closed at the highest point, 15 cents. Saturday's shipping orders were filled in full on staples by most houses, with plenty of stock left for that day's city demimd, which was later than usual in starting because all the retailers had stocked up more heavily than ever before with flow- ering plants; naturally they wanted to see these well on the move before they made any effort to push cut flowers. Sunday was a beautiful day but the ex- pected demand did not come and, as mid-day approached, prices broke and the Greeks got a lot of bargains. But it was impossible to dean up at any price and a good many roses and carna- tions were carried over to Monday, to- gether with a lot of odds and ends. On the whole a great deal more stock than usual was handled to make a moderate increase in the total of sales. Easter at RetalL Chicago retailers prepared for the largest Easter on record and it came up to their expectations in every way except that Thursday was so wet and I^riday so windy that the rush on Saturday was past all possibility of handling to best advantage. Sunday was a beautiful day and a great help. Every store was stocked to its utmost capacity with flowering plants. Little novelty was shown except in the pot covers. Crimson Bamblers were more numerous than ever and bulb stock scarce. Although, of course, some orders called for cut flow- ers, most retailers pushed plant sales until fairly well cleaned out and then turned to cut flowers and did a good business in this department Saturday night and Sunday. In the end they were as well cleaned up as could be expected where stocks were so large at the start. G. A. Samuelson had a great variety of plants, including pyramidal azaleas, candidum lilies and baskets of Soupert roses. "WSenhoeber offered his plants "in the natural," using little embellishment. Here was a splendid stock of azaleas. Fleischman still follows the fashion of almost obscuring the plant by the accessories. They had an extra store for plants. Smyth says that, after all is said and done, the lily is still the thing. He had a fine lot. Muir's first Easter in the new store was ahead of the best at the old place. Friedman had a splendid bougainvUIea in one window and a ^uge acacia in the other. Hauswirth had some fine lilies and hy- drangeas. He bought azaleas not so ful- ly out as many had them, finding that customers like them with a good many buds to open. Wittbold was strong on lilacs and rho- dodendrons and sold a big lot of lilies. C. H. Bowe showed the best tulips seen down town. He had many Bamblers. Mangel did not stock with plants so heavily as many. He had some splendid Bamblers and his samples were lavishly decorated. He sold 19,000 violets. Klunder had some very fine Pink Bam- blers. Bohanan & Conger had extra good Crimson Bamblers. Schiller, where Geo. Asmus holds forth, reports a big business in all lines. Bruns' specialty was valley. Death of Mrs. Reinberg. Mary L. Beinberg, wife of George Eeinberg, died on April 21 after an iU- ness of several months' duration. A weakness of the heart prevented her re- covery. She was 38 years of age and le'aves her husband with a family of eight, the oldest of whom is 16. The funeral was held on Monday and was at- tended by many neighboring growers and many others in the trade sent flow- ers. Interment was at St. Henry's, High Bidge. Mr. Beinberg has the deep- est sympathy of everyone in the trade in his great loss. Various Notes. Prof. A. C. Beal was in town for seT- eral days this week to see if anything could be done to rejuvenate the florists' bill in the state legislature. There was a meeting of those most active in the mat- ter at Peter Beinberg 's on Tuesday morning and, while it was acknowledged that things look pretty black for the few days remaining of this session, it was decided to keep at the project until those much-needed greenhouses are a reality at the State Experiment Station. It is a very easy thing to understand that by using iron gutters and posts the growers with connected houses get one more bench in each house than by the old, big wooden post method. But it is worth pausing a while to think of the fact that by his rebuilding operations this season Peter Beinberg will gain 24,- 380 square feet of bench-room under the same glass 1 His gain in bench-room by the move is more than many a prosper- ous place contains.

Never was the general prosperity in the retail trade so universal. No more perfect weather was ever made for the occasion. Not a cloud marred Saturday and Easter Sunday itself was unexcelled for warmth, clear skies and every requi- site in weather. But the wholesale market was up against too many obstacles to materialize the prices or amount of purchasing nec- essary to make the Easter satisfactory. The street was flooded with everything but violets. Considerable pickling was in evidence. The holdovers of Thurs- day and Friday, which would have sold well on these days, came in so heavily on Saturday that no possible outlet for them could be found. American Beau- ties, the best, actually could be had on Saturday evening at $15 per hundred. Some of the roses were grand, substance, color and stem never better, but 12 cents was top all day for the best Maids and Brides and this rate fell to 10 and 8 cents as the night wore on. There were too many red roses. To this fact the downfall of Beauty may be attributed. As to the pickled stuff, the less said the better. We thought we had seen the last of it. This year the picklers will about get what is coming to them. If there are any returns at all for this pickled stock, I am much mistaken. There can only be one practical way of stopping this imposition and that is refusing to accept the stuff and returning it to the sender at his expense. This plan might lose the wholesaler a grower now and then, but such growers are a menace to the business. Violets are done. They ended the sea- son very creditably. I suppose fifty more new houses will go up now, as the prices were quite encouraging. Fine specimens actually touched $1.50. Most of the stock went at $1, although much of the receipts were not worth over 50 cents. But as always, good quality meant good prices and hundreds of thou- sands commanded $1 without difficulty. Some of the big retail houses handled from 50,000 to 100,000. The preparatory days for Easter for nearly two weeks were cool, clear, per- fect, just what were required both for the cut flower growers and the plants- men. The late Easter did not develop the discouraging results which might naturally have been expected. The late spring was made to order for the florists. But plants rather than cut flowers may be relied upon for all time to constitute the bulk of the Easter trade. Up to Saturday evening there was no call for anything but blooming plants and hardly a plant remains unsold anywhere Enclosed is a P. O. order for $1.00 for which please send for another year. I find it a great help in buying^ and selling. I think it is the Greatest Florists' Paper out and I would not do with- out it. WM. H. CATANESE. Norristown, Pa. April 17, 1905. in the city. The greenhouses are empty, the stores are depleted, even the side- walk merchants sold out clean. It would seem as if every house in New York and Brooklyn had its flowering me- mento of the day. The plant markets, too, were sharers in the great prosperity. Everywhere that plants bloomed there were eager buyers. Even telephone or- ders were sent to the plantsmen on Saturday afternoon to renew the supplv so that advance orders might be filled, everything on hand having been sold. Lilies were in great demand. They sold at retail at from 20 to 35 cents a flower. The latter price became general toward the end. M any plants were left at all they were daisies and genistas, big ones, too large for homes, but good enough for the coming weddings of the week, and there are a lot of them, so nothing was lost. The lesson seems to be that the New York market can absorb all that is good of all the growers in and around the city and still have room for more. The voice of the future, the great advance in population and wealth, the growing love for nature's offerings in plant and flower, all speak with, no uncertain sound, "He who runs may read." At wholesale the best lilies in pots maintained their price, 12 cents. This was the top and good stock brought the figure readily. Many who cut the rate to 10 cents did so unnecessarily, but on the other hand, many who sold at 10 cents got all that their stock was worth. Some poor ones went to the department stores at 8 cents and less, but that was ^ where they belonged. '^- Big sales of. flowering plants were* made at the auction rooms for Easter. The tent is up again at Canal street for the plant market :.nd "open at all hours" may honestly be painted on the canvas. It is well worth sitting up all night to see the busy throng long be- fore "sun-up" in the morning. Here is where the veteran Scot, John Birnie, reigns. This week finds the wholesale cut flower market still overstocked and prices on the downward grade. On Tues- day roses sold at $10 per thousand. There are immense shipments of both roses and carnations. The Retail Displays. The retail stores of New York are unequaled in the world. It would take a volume to describe them all. Lessons in decoration and the benefit of expert choosing of salable stock for the next Easter may be drawn from a brief ref- erence to some of the best known and most progressive of them. David Clarke 's Sons have some of the finest windows for decoration purposes. Nearly forty feet of glass on the boule- vard is available. One of their novel- ties is a window devoted to aquariums. The best of_ the Japanese piscatorial novelties are seen here and singing birds add to the attractiveness of the big store. From their own greenhouses came some mammoth genistas, spiraea. Ram- blers and lilies. Every plant that went out was supplied with a waterproof cover and every cover with its ribbons was prepared in advance. They had sev- eral hundred tubs of lilies filled by them- selves. With ribbons these were made to average from $5 to $10 each. They sold fast. Their report may be taken as the universal one. Everybody bought earlier than other years and had deliv- eries made earlier and up to Thursday night business had aggregated more than for the whole week other years and Fri- day, Saturday and Sunday were "vel- vet." Golf vases and the ducklings with their chariots were prominent in their windows, and in almost every window. Warendorff, at the Ansonia and on Broadway and Madison and Seventh ave- nue, had beautiful windows, their spe- cialty everywhere being mirror effects and great neatness and taste always in evi- dence every day as well as holidays, just as should be the system every- where. There is never an excuse for a neglected window and never a prosper- ous florist who has one. At the Ansonia Mrs. Warendorff makes her headquar- ters, the mother of florists and still hale and hearty at 66 years. Twenty-five years ago, on Fourteenth street, she began the business which has grown to such proportions and will soon be in- corporated. Five of her sons are asso- ciated with her. Edward has just re- turned from Chicago and will have his own store in the fall. Mrs. Warendorff •■^.^v)' rv April 27, 1905.

Jos. Fleischman, of Broadway, is her son. She has been a widow twenty-six years. Her first sale was made to J. P. Morgan by her son Alexander, when the whole family worked together in the artificial flower busi- ness. She is tireless, always on duty, keen, alert, practical. It was largely her taste and artistic nature that con- ceived the elaborate ideas of store adorn- ment so beautifully illustrated in Fleischman 's, the Ansonia and the other stores. The Ansonia window was banked on each side with Bamblers and lilies. Combination plants in boxes of raised work, illustrating old Boman scripture, were a feature. Baskets of lilies and hydrangeas sold well. The golf vases were extensively used. The store itself IS a dream without any decora- tion. This week Wednesday WarendorfE has the great Wheeler-Nelson wedding at the CoUegrate church and the Seventy- second street home. The entire dome of the church will be filled with Bamblers and lilies. Special designs have been made by Eeed & Keller for canopies, etc. The mme decorative stock, with Ameri- can Beauties, will be used for the house. The bride's bouquet of valley and white orchids is to be an elaborate affair. Bumham, in his fine roof conserva- tory at Bloomingdjile 's, says this was far ahead of any Easter. Nearly every- thing was sold out at noon on Saturday. He employed 125 people altogether in the Easter floral department! In the cut flower department where Eobert Koehne presides, a handsome window, filled with Eeed & Keller's Easter eggs in all designs, was very attractive. I^e hawthorne in flower from Bobbink Ss Atkins was a great seller. Lilies were held at 20 cents a flower. No poor stock is handled here; no cut prices pre- vail. No retailer in the regular stores considers this a menace to legitimate trade. Hanft Bros, had their usual overflow and branch stores. Among their ship- ping orders I noted one for President Roosevelt. Ramblers and lilies were the favorites here. Pink azaleas were in demand. Thousands of pansies in pots were disposed of. Stumpp's windows, on Fifth avenue and Fifty-seventh street, were arranged with artistic care and were unique and creditable. One was an immense bank of lilies, with a row of cinerarias at the base and flanked by huge orange trees in fruit, with a magnificent bougainvillea as a center. Another window was a dream in yellow, heather, genistas and acacias in tubs, and the tMrd filled to the top with Crimson Ramblers and Dorothy Perkins. A rhododendron with 250 flowers and a large white azalea twenty-five years old occupied prominent spots inside the big store, while two im- mense cellars were crowded with baskets and combinations, every one distinct and beautiful. Six large weddings this week are the aftermath of Easter. At Hodgson's fancy, high-handled bas- kets, trimmed with apple blossoms and filled with orchids and Farleyense fern, were a novelty. Two imense metrosideros greeted you as you entered Alex. McConnell's, where "the biggest Easter ever known" was his greeting. Fine novelties in boxes, with copies of Roman sculpture by Robia, the Italian artist, were a novelty here. Baskets of lilies in white and gold tubs with 100 flowers were also featured and sold. All kinds of basket combina- tions sold well. The demand here and everywhere up to Saturday included few cut flowers. Across the way, at Thorley's, the feat- ure was the orchid basket, no longer a novelty, with ribbon adornment. In natural basket, tub and pail, handsome ericas also were largely used. In the Flower Market I noticed Tar- rytown elegantissima extensively used in all the basket combinations. It looked charming and will be greatly used in this way hereafter. At Young's, on Fifth avenue, baskets of hydrangeas and lilies from his own conservatories were especially beautiful. Wadley & Smythe's big window was one mass of Rose Wedding Bells. He had the entire stock of them. The store was full of them, also. They sold at from $5 to $25 each and none was left except those saved for his big wedding this week, where apple blossoms from Virginia also will be much in evidence. Siebrecht's White Palace and the store adjoining were none too large for their Easter trade. Nearly 500 baskets were made up and all were sold. Ram- blers, lilies and orchid combinations sold as high as $50 each. The stock was largely from their own conserva- tories. Japan maples in pots were great sellers, also kalmias in tubs and large azaleas apd white lilacs. They had four vans, four wagons and fifty men busy. Grand hydrangeas and standard wistarias made the windows attractive. Orchids, too, were there in abundance. Brewer's, across the way, was a coun* terpart of all the Fifth avenue stores in beauty and novelty. Big cedars in tubs and other ever- greens were a fitting introduction to the Rosary, where a rustic porch had been constructed, with ivy covering and eagle trimming for the festive occasion, a unique conception. Birch bark pedestals in the windows supported specimen aza- leas and boronias. Gloxinias and wis- tarias here were very perfect. The big conservatory upstairs was crowded with lilies and palms. Leikens found his store and conserva- tory not half large enough for his sup- ply and had a branch store close at hand for his overflow. He did an enor- mous trade, especially in baskets and hampers of his own construction, making up many beautiful combinations. At Bowe 's the need of larger quarters was never so much in evidence. The ducklings and their chariots filled with orchids were the centerpieces of the big window. The transient trade was con- stant. The Italian artist produced many original novelties in floral art and Mr. Bowe wore an even more entrancing smile than usual. Ribbon decoration was very profuse at Scallen 's, on Broadway. White and gold were the prevailing colors. Small's is always at or near the top in extensive and elaborate display. This year was no exception. The big store was banked to the ceiUng. Basket com- binations, $5 to $15, sold the best. Lilies went at 35 cents a flower and were sold out at noon on Saturday and the buyers were hustling for more goods to fill orders. Large Ramblers sold slowly. ^P^-^5:'^ 13S6 The Weekly Florists' Review. April 2T, 1905.

RANDALL CO., 19 Randolph II CHICAGO, ILL. i Mackintosh 's second Easter in his new store was double his first. Fleischman 's windows were artistic. Golf stick vases and ducklings with char- iots of orchids kept a crowd constantly interested. Eibbon accompaniments were handsomely utilized as usual. Individual plants were used and the big store was not large enough for the display. To describe the other retail stores would be but to repeat what has been indicated by the selection of those it was possible to visit in a day. Even the smaller stores are awake to the necessity of cleanliness, artistic arrangement, nov- elty and reasonable prices. It was an Easter far in advance of any of its predecessors and one that must have brought joy and shekels to every partici- pant. Various Notes. The sympathy of the wholesale sec- tion is given to Miss Wollreich, book- keeper at Alex. Guttman's, in the sud- den death of her father, and to H. B. McK night, of Jersey City, in the loss of his son, William. Holt, the rubber man, has opened a retail flower store at 284 Broadway, Brooklyn, and report says he stretched out a fine Easter business. He will not give up his well established rubber trade, however, and will doubtless be absorbed by the Flatbush Bowling Club now that he is a resident of the city of churches. Anton Schoch, of New Brighton, was in town last week. He is the original indoor grape expert of this section and has a fine range of glass still devoted to their culture. His place is well worth a visit, especially when the delicious Black Hamburgs are ripe and worth $2 a pound. Bedding plant night at the New York Florists' Club comes on May 8. John Birnie is in charge of the exhibits. Those who have something good to show can forward it to Secretary Young. Any novelty will be welcome. The exhibit is not confined to bedding plants only. Chairman Nugent has something special in culinary products, his own invention, up his sleeve for the occasion and some other entertainment also. The Clucas & Boddington Co. will move May 1 to West Twenty-third street, near Sixth avenue. J. Austin Shaw. RocKFORD, III. — J. E. Johnstone has been at Crystal Lake for several months recuperating from a serious ill- ness. KALAMAZOO, MICH. The Van Bochove Place. The most pronounced advocate of the value of an up-to-date greenhouse estab- lishment could hardly ask for a better plant than the Van Bochove & Bro. 's new range of houses, now in course of erection. No expense has been spared to make the new range the best of its kind built within recent years. The tract of land secured for the purpose consists of thirty acres and is admirably located within the city limits, having all the ad- vantages, so valuable to the grower, such as city water, splendid trolley line and railroad facilities, etc. The land itself, I may /emark in passing, is rich and loamy, possessing all the properties that bid fair to make carnations, American Beauties and other roses thrive to the same degree at which the world famous celery thrives in the black Kalamazoo soil. This place will be devoted exclu- sively to cut flowers. The range will consist of 60,000 feet of glass, the houses each 27x300 and all connected, running east and west, with the short span to the south. Each house will contain four benches. As a matter of course the very latest and most ap- prwed heating apparatus will be in- stalled. The boiler room, 40x40, will contain two boilers each of 125 horse- power, with a 6-inch regulating valve on the main line that will do the work to perfection. The condensation will be re- turned by means of a self-acting pump. Briefly stated, each and every detail has been well thought out and well planned and the whole, when completed, will pre- sent a model of its kind and one of the finest greenhouse establishments to be found in the country. The growth of the Van Bochove Bros, may be described as one of gradual de- velopment. Away back in the early eighties, celery growing constituted their main business, the few houses of ancient pattern built for the purpose of supply- ing a scant local demand for bedding plants, being at the time nothing more than a "side issue." Those were the days when Boston supplied Chicago with cut flowers. As years passed along things began to assume a different as- pect; the celery business, while profitable to a degree, had its drawbacks in maily other respects. Competition grew keener and prices in consequence became weaker. Like all progressive and far-seeing business men, the Van Bochoves began to look around for ' ' other fields and pas- tures new." The old houses were re- built, more were added from time to time, and in addition to bedding and mis- cellaneous plants a few roses and ca:fna- tions were tried. The experiment proved a success from the very start. The local demand for cut flowers continued to in- crease and with the increased demand there came an increase in facilities. What had been attempted as a mere experiment soon culminated in a suc- cess far beyond their own expectations. The demand for cut flowers, both whole- sale and retail, necessitated extensive additions and improvements and a mam- moth range of houses sprung up within the past decade. The demand, however, continued, surpassing the sources of sup- ply, and the refusal of many large orders, especially for American Beauties, neces- sitated still further expansion, the result being the additional new range of houses. While American Beauties will be practically doubled in quantity, there will also be a corresponding increase in the output of Brides, Maids, Golden Gates, Ivory and Chatenay. Meteor still holds first place as a red and aside from its productive qualities, it is likewise fine in other respects, such as color, stem, etc. Richmond will be given a trial this season and if it proves its merit here as it seems to have demonstrated it at the E. G. Hill place, the Meteor will be relegated to a back seat. Although roses invariably do well here on their own roots, some grafted stock will be grown. About 50,000 carnations will be plant- ed. Lawson will form a large part of the varieties to be grown, with Enchan- tress as a close second. Crane, Flam- ingo and Cardinal will be the reds, while Lady Bountiful, Fred Burki, White Cloud, Glacier and Flora Hill will make up the white varieties. Some of the older varieties, the kind that make up in quantity what they lack in quality, will also be grown and these principally for their retail trade. Calla lilies, which do exceptionally well here, as well as bulbous stock in general, will be grown in larger quantities on the old place. This also holds true as regard to chrysanthemums, asparagus strings, smilax and plants of all sorts. X. AuKOEA, III. — The Aurora Greenhouse Co. is rapidly working up a nice busi- ness. They had a big Easter business. Hamilton, Ont. — Webster Bros, have put the business into a corporation and will do business as the Webster Floral Co. The facilities will be considerably in- creased. ■^-^ Apbil 27, 1905. The Weekly Florists^ Review.

Contrary to the early predictions, Harrisii and longiflor- ums were in plenty in both pot plants and cut stock, the wholesalers holding them at 12V^ and 15 cents each. Callas were none too many, the demand being equally as large. All stock in roses av- eraged very fine. American Beauties were limited on first-class stock. Other roses were plentiful and sold well at quoted prices. In bulbous stock the market was well supplied for all demands. Dutch hya- cinths, tulips. Von Sions, Paper Whites and lilies of the valley all sold well. The trade had quit? a call for violets. No singles were to be had and only a few double. Sweet peas sold clean, with not enough for the big demand. Smilax had a big call all of the past week. In blooming plants the west end flo- rists did a rushing business. Longiflor- ums and Harrisii took the lead. Azaleas and hydrangeas came in next. Tulips, Dutch hyacinths and lilies of the valley in pans sold well. In fact almost any kind of blooming plants sold. Vaiiotn Notes. Alex Siegel made a flying trip to Chi- cago last week, buying cut stock for Easter. Charles W. Wors, formerly in the wholesale business, has opened a retail store at 2241 North Market street. Fred Ammann, of Edwardsville, dis- posed of a big lot of fine longiflorum lilies, both cut and pot plants, through C. A. Kuehn. Mr. Ammann was elected alderman last week. Ostertag Bros, have a number of wed- ding orders booked lor this week. Hen- ry Ostertag reports a big Easter trade. C. C. Sanders was in the market with a flne lot of Harrisii and longiflorum lilies, which were in big demand. Cemetery cut flower decorations kept the Meinhardts and Koenigs very busy all day Saturday and early Sunday morn- ing. C. Young & Sons Co. kept their big force busy handling their Easter busi- ness in cut flowers and plants. Fred Weber's blooming plant display was one of the finest among the west end florists. The large Easter cross display, with electrical effects, in tl:e show window of the Ellison Floral Co. was a big attrac- tion. George Waldbart had some of the larg- est azalea plants ever seen in this city, some of which brought as high as $20 each. Mr. Waldbart says Easter trade was verv large in both plants and cut flowers. Charles Schoenelle, of the M. M. Ay- ers store, says they had all they could do with decorations and delivering cut flowers and that it v/as a blessing that the Sunday law on florists had not yet gone into effect. Miss M. S. Newman had a very pretty window decoration ou Saturday, trimmed with fancy Easter blooming plants. Fred ri. Weber, on Boyle avenue, had a fine trade in blooming plants. Cut flower trade was also satisfactory. The places of Theo. Miller, Kalisch & Sons, John Henzel^ J, F. Windt and others did a rushing plant trade the past week. The Riessen Floral Co. reports a fine Easter trade in cut flowers, with plenty of funeral work on top. Fred Foster reports that he disposed of a big lot of lilies on Saturday, which were shipped down from Chicago and came in good condition. All other flow- ers also sold welL Frank Fillmore, Wm, Schray, Carl Beyer, Wm. Kruse, i'red Berning and Eggeling, in tiie south end, all did a big business the past week. The wholesale houses of Kuehn, EUis, Angermueller and Berning did a rushing business on Saturday and Sunday. Stock was fairly plentiful, with good prices. Arbor day on Saturday was observed at the Washington University by several hundred society folk. Tree planting members of the alumni society attended in a body. Miss Belle Miller, of Springfield, 111., sent to this market a fine lot of Carnot roses which sold at sight. Her other stock was equally as fine. Leonard Hunt, for thirty-three years keeper of Lafayette park, celebrated the event the past week. Mr. Hunt is a great favorite with the young folks in that neighborhood. Grim & Gorley have opened a branch store down town. They have a corner in' the newly opened Columbia candy store at Sixth and Olive streets. J. J. B. Des Moines, Ia. — Mrs. E.

The schedule adopted was ; , that in force during the flower show of : 1901. Premiums were provided for the garden competition, to close May 6, first, second and third.

Mention The Review when you write The receivers of the Western Seed Co., Shenandoah, la., are asking bids on a list of corn and other field seeds. Edward Webb, the well known Eng- lish seedsman, has been appointed high sheriff of the county of Worcester. Seed potatoes, including the novelties, have taken a big Slump in ii^ngland and are offered at half the early prices. The acreage sown to onion sets at Louisville, Ky., is said to be smaller than last year. A good stand is reported. It is hoped that all the onion seed sown for sets will come up nicely, as stock to replant, in case of failure, will be hard to find. Some complaint is heard from the general store merchants in the smaller towns that the unseasonable weather is cutting down their seed trade quite ma- terially. The packers of tomatoes are making every effort to reduce the 1905 output and it is reported that in the Maryland district the contracts with growers are Ughter than usual. The T. B. Shepherd Co., Ventura, Cal., report a very large demand for the crimson rhubard. They say that it pro- duces three to four tons of stems per acre from December to March and look for the upbuilding of* a large industry in growing it for the eastern markets. The seeding for onion sets in the vicinity of Indianapolis is reported fin- ished and a good deal of the planted area shows green in the rows. The acreage there is less than it was last year. John Lewis Childs reports having bought Frank Banning 's gladiolus, Beu- ben H. Warder, which was so well thought of in the wholesale cut flower markets the past two seasons. It is reported that considerable quan- tities of Lilium longiflorum are being grown in the Azores this season. Those from that source last season have given very good satisfaction this spring. There is much complaint about the vitality of sweet corn. There are sufi- cient reasons for this where seed has been planted, as the weather is against its growth, but the complaint is not only confined to the early sorts, but also to the samples in the hands of prospective planters who test before putting it in the ground. A correspondent of the Crop Re- porter writes that in the last two years Whitley and Noble counties, Indiana, have produced at least 50,000 bushels of onions, which sold at 35 to 50 cents per bushel at the railroad, and that they are at present selling at 65 cents; that the acreage in 1905 will be double the 1904 acreage, and that 400 to 500 bushels is an ordinary yield per acre and 800 bush- els good yield. Onion Set Warehouse No. 3, of the Leonard Seed G>., Jefferson Park, 111. t390 The Weekly Rorists' Review. April 27, 1905. Counter trade is bearing up well against the unfavorable weather, but the long-continued cool spell has its ef- fect just the same and is bound to shorten up the cash receipts of the sea- son. Eaely sweet corn will need to be re- planted at many points. Quite an acre- age was planted unusually early in the hope that this was to be a good spring. Up to date this lies in the ground un- sprouted, and it is thought much of it will rot. THE BRITISH SEED TRADEr '^'^Peas and beans are largely^ grown by farmers and others under contract, the seed house supplying the seed peas to be sown," says Richard Dean in the Horticultural Trade Journal. ' ' During the summer experienced men are sent to go through the diflferent breadths to what is known as 'rogue' them, that is to pull out any plants which may not be true to character; in this way the purity of a particular stock is maintained. Carrots, radish, mangel wurzel, turnips, various forms of the cabbage tribe, etc., are also grown by contract, or on farms owned by the particular seed house. Flower seeds are also produced in considerable quantities, in Essex especially, there can be seen very large breadths of popular annuals, which adorn aores upon acres of the country side when in full bloom. The cleaning and bulk- ing of flower seeds is an important preparatory work in autumn, and early winter and many young girls are em- ployed in packeting the choicer seeds. The seed industry then extends to many parts of the country, giving em- ployment to hundreds in the population of the land in the cultivation of the plants and in harvesting the crops. "And then when one thinks of the enormous number of sacks and bags re- quired, the material of which have to be woven, and then made into the dif- ferent sizes; the multitude of paper bags and seed packets used, thus giv- ing employment in other directions, the large staff of employes engaged in a business in which quick intelligence and active business habits can find an excellent outlet; oflSce clerks, messen- gers, etc. When one thinks of all this, an idea, necessarily imperfect, can be formed of the ramification of the seed industry. "Then there are the various forms of manures specially manufactured for garden purposes, insecticides, and other compositions; garden requisites of al- most untold variety, etc., which find a place in wholesale seed catalogues, wonder is excited in contemplation of the enormous amount of capital in- vested in this branch of the seed trade alone. "A trial ground is an indispensable corollary to a wholesale seed house. Cooper, Taber & Co., have many acres of seed trial grounds in Essex; so have Hurst & Son; and each of these have extensive seed farms on which they grow many seeds. Watkins & Simpson have their seed farms in Mid- dlesex. Carter & Co. have huge tracts of ground for the culture of all kinds of seeds, in Essex. Some of the whole- sale seed houses have large warehouses and depots in the provinces. All these give employment to hundreds. "The advantages of well ordered LEONARD SEED irlMdt ^>^\ OaiOB SETS.

Seports from all the principal firms of this city show a volume of business equal to, if not in excess of, last year's Easter, which held the record up to that time. Some report extra heavy sales on plants, while others say cut flowers were in heaviest demand. Everything sold, however, and it was not a question of what you could sell, but it was what have you got. The plantsmen had a fine stock of the usual Easter plants, includ- ing bulbous stock, the last ten days hav- ing been cool, keeping them in nice con- dition. The cut flower men suffered some from the cool weather the past week on account of the buds not open- ing. Many roses came in badly mil- dewed but the blooms were of good tex- ture and the same may be said of the carnations. Sweet peas sold like hot cakes and there was a good crop of these. Vio- lets are on their last legs. At Tomlinson hall flower market busi- ness was very heavy and more steady than ever before owing to the fine weather on Saturday. Sunday was equally as fine. Everybody seems satis- fled with the business done. A. B. SCHENECTADY, N. Y. Easter stock was never more plentiful, but the demand was ahead of all previ- ous records and this must be recorded as the banner Easter. There were consid- erable quantities of bulbous stock; also Crimson Eambler roses and hydrangeas, as well as Easter lilies. Limmer & Evans did a fine business at their store in the Lorraine block. They have some especially good Crimson Bamblers. W. C. Eger made a fine showing with hydrangeas, both pink and blue, with as large heads as were ever seen in the city.

This measure was decided upon at the meeting of the association held April 13 at the home of Henry G. Pauli, Daven- port. All the members were present at this session and an enjoyable program was given. Adolph Arp, superintendent of Central park, read a paper on ' ' Shrubs and Her- baceous Plants," followed by general discussion in which nearly all present participated. Then came the social part of the entertainment with musical selec- tions by Miss Helen Pauli, Davenport j Henry Meyer, Rock Island, and Han/ Bills. CINONNATL Tlie Market Easter, the greatest day of the year* for the flower business, was right up to- the handle this year. Notwithstanding the rather doubtful prospects before hand, the business was all there at the finish and the general average must have been ahead of last year. I^st year was the banner year, and to exceed that is very- gratifying. One of the features was that very few orders were placed be- fore Wednesday, but from then on they came in droves, until by Sunday the wholesale houses had scarcely anything left. Bulbous stock was here in all its glory and sold better than usual. Lilies made their high water mark, and thou- sands of them were disposed of. Beau- ties were ' ' the goods ' ' and many more could have been used to advantage. Boses and carnations were scarce. There were, not enough to fill orders. This helped the bulbous stock greatly. Vio- lets were shipped from the north and sold at a high price. The store men are almost unanimous^ in their report that there was an increase- over last year. In mo^t cases stock sold out clean and some of the stores did not have a flower left by Sunday noon. The Jabez Elliot flower market did the usual enormous business. Saturday afternoon was ideal for business and there was a continual jam from opening till closing time and several thousand dollars' worth of flowers and plant» were disposed of. At times the jam was so great that many people were unable to get into the market at all and others who got in could not stop to make pur- chases but were obliged to move on with the throng. Many growers of "green goods" held back their cuts for a week or two before Easter; consequently there was an over- supply of this class of stock and consid- erable of it was left on the hands of the wholesale men. Smilax was the only ex- ception. Easter is the time of the pot plants and they sold up to standard. Lilies carried off the honors, as usual, but other kinds sold well also. Crimson Bambler, of which some extra flne plants were seen, sold very well. Various Notes. A hail storm of considerable severity passed over the Kentucky highlands last week and considerable damage was done. The florists in the belt are: Philip Popp, E. Ernsterhoff, Wm. Speck, Wm. Schuman, Chas. Pfeiffer, L. Pfeififer Sons, Ed Fries, John Fries, S. Thomas and Thomas Windram. They suffered slight loss. Miss Murphy, who has been associated with "Wlm. Murphy in the wholesale busi- ness, will leave with her sister for California the middle of May. They will join their brother, Bert, at Los An- geles, who has been west about a year and who is engaged in business in that' city. Henry Dieterich was in the city look- ing up Easter stock. B. A. Betz was confined to his bed for several days by a severe cold. C. J. Ohuer. 1400 The Weekly Rorists^ Review* ap».l 27. loos.

The California Irrigated Land Co., at Marysville, is planting 70,000 grape cut- tings for planting in its vineyard next season. At southern California points the hor- ticultural commissioners are distributing colonies of the parasite which preys on the codlin moth. MUMS IN CALIFORNIA. I recently asked about growing asters in Southern California and having them in bloom at Christmas. In the reply in the Beview I was told that it would be easier and better to grow chrysanthe- mums. Wlhat varieties should I get and how shall I manage to have them at Christmas! It is easy enough to have them at Thanksgiving. A. L. H. I do not know whether the questioner wishes to grow the chrysanthemums for market or only for garden adornment, but the only diflference would be that in the latter case I might lengthen the list of varieties somewhat and include sorts that are not considered the most profit- able for commercial planting. It is now late enough in the season in this climate to plant out the young stock. Strong well rooted cuttings can be pro- cured from any first-class nurseryman and when the variety is once planted thers is no difficulty in raising any quan- tity of young stock from the old plants for the following season's planting. Chrysanthemums, especially the late flowering sorts, should be planted in a sheltered location. I do not mean shaded, for the winter blooming va- rieties will stand all the sunshine they can get. Keep the young stock growing all summer and fall, aiways remembering that the finest blooms are obtained from plants that are not allowed to receive a check of any kind. It will be found that cultivation assists the growth of such heavy feeding stock as the chrys- anthemum even more than a super- abundanee of artificial watering. Mulch- ing is also to be recommended. Abova all things do not let the surface of the ground get hard. Keep all side shoots nipped off. Ex- amine the plants every couple weeks after the first flower buds show and of course leave only the strongest of the terminal buds. There should then b3 no difficulty in raising big, showy flowers during the middle of winter in Southern California, The plants should be set in rows, the rows from three to four feet apart and the plants about eighteen inches from each other in the row. It is possible to grow them considerably closer than this if there is any shortage in room but it is advisable to leave plenty of space to al- low cultivation. The list of chrysanthemums offered to the public is very large but the majority of them have not been found profitable for outside planting. There are a great many more early sorts than lat3 ones and to a certain extent the locality has considerable to do with some varieties, but these I will name are the best I have found among the late blooming kinds: White, Mrs. Jerome Jones, Christmas Eve, Mrs. Henry Bobinson and White Bonnaffon. Yellow, Eugene Dailledouze and Major Bonnaffon. Pink, Superba, Lavender Queen and Glory of Pacific. Bed, Fisher's Torch and Lord Hopetoun. There are several other late sorts I could mention but this list offers all the good solid colors and can be relied on to flower as late in the season as it is possible to have them. G. FRESNO, CAL. The newly appointed park commis- sioners of Fresno are Charles A. Cham- l)ers, S. George and G. C. Freman. All these gentlemen are well known and prominent business men and are fully capable of filling the position to which they have been appointed in a most satisfactory manner. Mr. Chambers has been actively connected with the nursery business here for nearly fifteen years; for over twelve years he was in the employ of the Fancher Creek Nursery Co., of "Smyrna fig fame," and for the past two years has held the position of secretary of the Wilson Nurseries, of Dinuba, with headquarters in this city.

The Market Another Easter has come and gone and the reports from all sources seem to be that it was the best Easter from a trade standpoint we ever had. Taken as a whole the weather was about as unsatisfactory as it could well have been, as we had a fall of over an inch of snow one night, and Thursday and Fri- day a regular downpour of rain. The men who handle plants were very much discouraged, but Saturday it cleared up for an ideal shopping day and every- thing good was cleaned up in fine shape. A visit among the shops Sunday morning found a lot of tired men. but all ex- pressed themselves as do only people who have exceeded their expectations. Almost everything brought fair prices, except that one retailer showed a hand- some lot of moss rose buds which he had bought at $4 per dozen bunches of twenty-five buds, which seemed an ex- tremely low price for novelties of that kind at Easter. Bulbous stock seemed a drug on the market, notwithstanding that report said there would be a scarcity of this stock. It is reported that one whole- saler took this report seriously and tried to corner the market by getting in all the bulb stock in this section and some from the outside, and like Gates, with his wheat deal, be found there was still more to follow and Saturday night found him loaded to the guards. The ^Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. re- ports that, taken as a whole, they never handled as good stock, excepting violets, which are not expected to be very fine so late in the season. Boses were ex- ceptionally fine and fresh, which they think indicates that they have succeeded in convincing their growers that it is not a good policy to hold stock too long for a holiday. Last week we had a war of the Greeks, as Polites Bros, opened in the Arcade and the man who runs the stand next door got after them. Saturday they were selling the finest carnations at 50 and 75 cents per dozen. They sold lots of them. I was told by one of the store men today that the call for carnations is getting less every holiday, as they can- not compete with the Greeks and put carnations up in the way they must to send out and not hurt their reputation. As a result they push stock which the Greeks do not handle, and leave the car- nations to the street men. Hoo-Hoo.

The weather on Saturday and Sunday was ideal. The sun shone beautifully and was not too warm, still warm enough to deliver plants without heavy wrapping. If the weather had been propitious on Thurs- day and Friday it is doubtful if you could have found enough plants to deco- rate a store window. Prices were firm and stock cleaned up nicely. On Sunday morning the whole- sale houses had the appearance of a deserted Eussian village after the Japs had passed through. Violets had first call in cut flowers. Many customers were disappointed at not being able to get them. Carriages even drove up to the wholesale houses to find out when violets would arrive. Eoses sold fairly well and all good stock found a ready sale. Stock grown by local growers was far superior to that shipped here. Carnations were decidedly scarce and orders were only half filled. Bulbous stock and cut lilies were plenti- ful but cleaned up nicely, lilies had first call in plants, azaleas and hydrangeas next. Eamblers and H. P. roses sold well, as did also spiraeas and some well done Deutzia Lemoinei. Genistas and marguerites did not sell very well. Bulbous stock in pans and boxes neatly trimmed sold in moderate quantities. All the retailers are well pleased with results and look forward to a continu- ance of a prosperous business.

THBZX TWO OBAHD VBW GABVATZOVB MY MARYLAND and JESSICA MY MARYLAND Is already well and favorably known, havinK been exhibited freely at the various flower shows and florist club meetlngB the past fall and winter, and In every case elicited the highest praise and most favorable comment. We piclt this variety to quickly and easily displace all other whites for first honors, not alone in exhibition, but in commercial points as well. We claim for it a robustness of constitution quite unequaled in any other variety and an ease of culture that will delight the heart of the grower. The great vigor of both parents (Norway x Lawson) seems united and Improved upon in this variety. In JB5SICA we have, in the red and white variegated class, what My Maryland will prove among white. It is descended through several generations of variegated seedlings of Helen Keller and Bradt extraction on the one side and Lawson on the other. A strong, thrifty growing variegated seedling bearing the seed. It is a trifle heavier In growth than My Maryland and just Laweon height. Aside from these differences and the color, the de- scription of My Maryland applies to Jeasda. Under favorable conditions four-inch blooms are not uncommon. We pick Jessica to win over any other variegated variety. Both of the above are fi-ee propagators. We are thoroughly familiar with them and know what they will do. We will be in a position to deliver stock early and on time, and assure the trade that no disappointments will result on that score. We have already booked many orders. It pays to be early. Orders booked are subject to cancellation by the buyer If unsatisfied with either variety up to the time the cuttings are received. Price — BS.50 per doz. ; BIS.OO per 100; SIOO.OO per 1000.

On Sunday morning the whole- sale houses had the appearance of a > '' deserted Eussian village after the Japs >; had passed through. Violets had first call in cut flowers. Many customers were disappointsd at not being able to get them. Carriages even drove up to the wholesale houses to find out when violets would arrive. Eoses sold fairly well and all good stock found a ready sale. Stock grown by local growers was far superior to that shipped here. Carnations were decidedly scarce and orders were only half filled. Bulbous stock and cut lilies were plenti- ful but clesmed up nicely. Lilies had first call in plants, azaleas and hydrangeas next. Ramblers and H. P. roses sold well, as did also spiraeas and some well done Deutzia Lemoinei. Genistas and marguerites did not sell very well. Bulbous stock in pans and boxes neatly trimmed sold in moderate quantities. All the retsulers are well pleased with results and look forward to a continu- ance of a prosperous business. Various Notes. J. M. Gasser has returned from the south much refreshed from his sojourn there. Geo. Bate is all smiles and is passing the cigars around. It's an eight-pound girl.

TXBZM TWO OBAn nW OASVATXOV8 MY MARYLAND and JESSICA MY MARYLAND la already well and favorably known, having been exhibited freely at the various flower shows and florist club meetings the past fall and winter, and in every case elicited the highest praise and most favorable comment. We pick this variety to quickly and easily displace all other whites for first honors, not alone in exhibition, but In commercial points as well. We claim for It a robustness of constitution quite unequaled In any other variety and an ease of culture that will delight the heart of the grower. The great vigor of both parents (Norway x Lawson) seems united and improved upon in this variety. In JB5SICA we have, in the red and white variegated class, what My Maryland will prove among white. It is descended through several generations of variegated seedlings of Helen Keller and Bradt extraction on the one side and Lawson on the other. A strong, thrifty growing variegated seedling bearing the seed. It is a trifle heavier in growth than My Maryland and Just Lawson height. Aside from these differences and the color, the de- scription of My Maryland applies to Jeasda. Under favorable conditions four-inch blooms are not uncommon. We pick Jessica to win over any other variegated variety. Both of the above are free propagators. We are thoroughly familiar with them and know what they will do. We will be in a position to deliver stock early and on time, and assure the trade that no disappointments will result on that score. We have already booked many orders. It pays to be early. Orders booked are subject to cancellation by the buyer if unsatisfied with either variety up to the time the cuttings are received. Price — SajJO per doz.; S18.00 per 100; SIOO.OO per 1000.

The Market The past week has been one of the busiest in the historj' of this city. Even though every grower took all his stock that showed even a small bloom and placed it on sale and an immense stock was shipped from other points, every- thing of a salable nature was sold out early in tlie evening before Easter. A large shipping trade was handled by some of the houses and the local demand was of immense proportions. Roses were plentiful and brought good prices. Car- nations were scarce and prices rangec. even higher than during Christmas week. Von Sions, jonquils, hyacinths and tulips sold for fancy prices. Easter novelties wer? sold out early and some of the shops were forced to close, not having anything left to sell. The shops vied with each other in their window decora- tions and some beautiful designs were to be seen. Varioits Notes. W. L. Rock had a most beautiful win- tlow and crowds thronged his shop from morning until closing time. .Miss Dalley did an immense business and, with an increased force of clerks, had her hands full to take care of her large business. Ed. Ellsworth had a splendid show at Kellogg 's and their wagons were out un- til 11 o'clock delivering their orders. Miss Murray had a store full of cus- tomers all day and reports business as first-class. The market men dm an immense busi- ness Saturday, people thronging the streets all day. Good prices were re- ceived and every one was pleased with business. The Kansas City Floral Co., with sev- en clerks, had all they could do to handle their business during the week and re- port that they handled over 10,000 ear- nations and .5,000 roses, not counting lilies, spiraea and other Easter stock. Mr. Shaeffer, the head of the new firm, is a live, hustling, up-to-date man and is making a success from the start. The Alpha Floral ("o. did a large business the past week and very little stock was left over. The Convention hall directors called a meeting for "Wednesday night and all the florists are becoming interested in the outlook and are helping to make the show a success. Narcissus.

For Easter we shipped some field-grown cut roses to Cincinnati to try the pulse of that market. Boses are the queen of all flowers here, the tea and hybrid tea. New roses have been a failure with us. Borne new varieties, such as Gruss an Teplitz, in red, hold up with old kinds, but no pink compares with Catherine Mermet and Bridesmaid here. Helen Gould is a good one in red. Kaiserin and Bride are the whites that lead. In yellows Mme. Welch, Safrdno, Etoile de Lyon and Perle are all good in the field. We trust some roses of merit will come out and take a place with these old favorites. Vve must look to Europe as yet. AU roses ought to be tested outdoors before Bending them out. A good many rose names are! changed from old to new. Mums are next choice here and are being well improved by specialists in mum growing. We would like to Bay a few words about florists selling to drug stores that use plants only to draw trade and hence •ell at low prices. No florist should wholesale to these people or common merchants. In the end this will ruin our trade and cause a slump in prices. Here is another question which was discussed in the Review, we think by wholesale people, about florists shipping flowers or plants and say- ing their responsibility ended when the stock was put on the train. Well, we think differently. In the first place the express company will not allow you to examine plants or flow- ers on arrival. When you pay the freight or express this lets them out, as you often have a lot of dead ones, and do you think any firm vrants to pay for dead plants? We never made anything out of an express company yet. When we ship trees, if they are dead we do not want any pay. Freights are high with the express companies and so much mud is packed in plants you pay for half mud. Downs & Co. Anoka, Minn. — The Pratt Greenhouse Co. has opened a branch store at Fargo, N.

The Monmouth County Horticultural Society held its regular meeting on April 21, with President G. H. H^e in thei chair. The two winners for the prize for "Fruit Culture Under Glass" were announced. Percy Hicks, employed at the M. C. D. Borden estate, William Turner, superintendent, received first prize, and Harry Griffiths, employed at ■the same place, received second. Both these papers were so fine that it was no easy matter for the judges to give their decision. We have often read papers on "Fruit Culture under Glass," but we have never had a chance to read a paper which covered the ground so completely as these, and those two gen- tlemen, although assistant gardeners, can take up the pen in competition with any experienced fruit grower. The two papers were read and discussed at the meeting. "Chrysanthemum Culture" is the subject on which esfays were handed in to the secretary last night to come up for prizes at the next meet- ing. H. A. Kettel exhibited the following tulips: Canary Bird, Pink Beauty, Belle Alliance and two peonia-flowereJ varieties, pink and yellow. The two latter are really beauties and I am sure will be grown more extensively in these parts next year. They received ninety- five points. William Turner exhibited some beau- tiful Cattleya Mossise, which received ninety-five points, and some fine Laelia purpurata, seven flowers on a spike, and beautifully marked, scoring ninety-five points.

The gloomy weather on the morning of April 22 caused a hesitancy on buyers' parts, but as the clouds rolled away, business came with a rush and the af- ternoon and evening business beat all records. The Easter of 1905, taken all in all, was the best we ever had. Stock was never of finer quality, lilies especially being exceptionally good. W. W. Hathaway cleared out over 500 pots at an average of 25 cents per bud and flower. One of the flower stores and one dry goods store sold at 15 cents, but these were not of best quality. Other plants selling well were Crimson Rambler roses, hydrangeas, kalmias, genistas, aza- leas and snowballs. Quite a number of rhododendrons, jonquils, tulips and lilacs were also sold, in addition to palms, ferns and a large variety of small plants. In cut flowers carnations were easily the leaders. Prices per dozen were 60 ceni;§p75 cents and $1, Fair Maid, En- chantress, Mrs. Patten, Lawson and scar- lets going best. Prices of roses varied from $1.50 to $5 per dozen, the new Wellesley rose being easily the leader in popularity, followed by Beauty and Bridesmaid. A good many callas, sweet peas, stocks, violets, antirrhinums and other flowers were sold. Bulbous stock was a little slow. W. W. Hathaway sold over 6,000 car- nations on April 22 and decorated seven churches. C. A. Reed and Mrs. Moir each did a fine business. Thomas Greaves and Henry Cole sold out clean on all cut flowers at their greenhouses and the general verdict was that Easter trade of 1905 was the best on record. - W. N. C.

Tn teaching cMdren to read an in- structor often follows a plan something like this: She holds up an object, a book, for example, and asks, "What is this!" Some child is allowed to an- swer, "a book." "Yes," says the taechex, "Willie says this is a book. Now ^t«i« are ot)ier things that can talk, besides Iittl» l)oys. But they do not al- ways talk in yuet, the same way. To hear Willie talk you must listen. To hear this piece of cray^a talk you must look at the blackboard. Tbia cr»7W is going to talk, and it will say just wl^iA Willie was saying. Watch, it is paying 'Book.' " And therewith she writes or prints the word "book" on the black- board. After frequent drill the pupils are first able to recognize the printed or written word and later to make their ^wn pencils say "book." Precisely as the child begins to find out different ways of expressing thought is the student in designing to learn what is said by certain positions of stems and stalks and combinations of the same- Circular lines mean something; they give you a certain sensation, whether you notice it or not; straight lines suggest different ideas to the mind and abrupt and angular arrangements are not as often admired as your eyes fall upon them. There is a season why a wild patch of oak woods is more attractive and rest- ful to the eye than a grove of Lombardy poplars planted in straight rows, so many rods long by so many yards wide. Com- pare the two in winter, when the bare trunks and limbs are far enough in the distance to appear as lines. The long curves of the oak branches seem to be reaching out to grasp at some unseen object, and to afford shelter in the shorter decided lines. The straight, abrupt limbs of the poplar frown severely, and when multiplied by tens in regular rows the aggregation fairty dis- turbs your sense of restfulness and se- curity. This is what these different lines and sets of lines are saying as the child or the crayon said "booki" In other words, there is an expression of thought in each. Now to be very practical, you have an order to fill a cream-colored braid basket with Bridesmaid roses. There are at least two ways in which you may Execute the work. You may fill and line the bas- ket with moss and tin foil, fasten the same in with your green tying thread, lay on a background of ferns or green moss over the sphagnum, and be ready to put the roses in. You may, if you please, lay out the roses and cut them all about the average length of eight inches, stem them on whole picks and insert them into the sphagnum upward, downward, outward, with the result that you have a production with about as much expression as a well inhabited pin cushion. Or, if you are so inclined, you may stem your roses at about the length you find them, set in the larger and stronger ones in a well defined cluster about one side of the handle, wire them closely to the handle to hold them in place, fill in the body of the basket closely enough so that some will appear to be crowding others so that they fall far out over the edge, and finish the de- sign with a cluster on the opposite side of the handle, which" falls in toward the upright cluster first inserted; and ninety- nine cases to one your patron is pleased with the latter effort, which, we flatter one point it repeats the effect at regulaur intervals all the way around. Nobody cares for a lopsided rose, .re- gardless of beautiful coloring or per- fume. A second element in a properly arranged floral design is its symmetry. To illustrate this principle see the clus- ters of roses at opposite sides of the basket in the second illustration. The body of the basket is filled low and loosely, almost too low for good effect in the picture. Tall clusters of roses start at either side of the basket and follow the handle more than half-way up, being secured in place as was just described for the first basket. The col- oring is a somewhat unusual one. The basket is a terra cotta red, better de- scribed as brick red. The roses are Kaiserins, with a mere touch of yellow stock and Asparagus plumosus. While the general appearance of these clusters of roses is symmetrical they are not exactly the same size and height. It is not necessary to hold exactly to these proportions. Make the general ap- pearance symmetrical. Either of these baskets may be filled with a dish holding water in which the A Well-Filled Presentation Basket of Roses. ourselves, has some expression, the dis- covery of which we leave to the discrim- inating reader. See the illustration on this page. When dwelling upon the beauty of a perfectly formed elm tree, or a well grown Araucaria excelsa, one element which appeals to the eye is the appar- ently symmetrical form. A projection on one side is balanced by a like pro- jection on the opposite side. Where a flowers are put, or filled with moss as de- scribed above, as occasion requires. A third method is rather more satisfactory for a hasty order. It; is this: Set the side clusters against the handle in the ^mpty basket. Fasten to the handles to secure in place. Fill in moss around the stems like soil around the roots of » plant. Set in the flower stems in the body of the basket and proceed in the same way to fill the basket with moM graceful whirl of pine needles droops at | and flowers at the same time. Q. B.

One has the feeling of breathing a larger, ampler air. This factor of mere size alone, it seems to me, has reacted on the Canadian's mind. His mental faculties seem to take a wider sweep than the usual island-bound Britisher. This applies not only to his outlook on life but to his business. ITc thinks in continent?, and is at home in the wholepale trades. How much he owes to a bracing climate, to a freedom of opportunity, or a growing conscious- ness of prosperity and consequent inde- pendence are questions which might well set the ball rolling in debate. While I admire your Canadians in many respects, I do not think the aver- age man in our business is as well in- formed in all-round horticulture as arc those at home. He is a good specialist but his general knowledge has been largely limited by his opportunities. Then, again, note his impatience. * ' "Wanted, a hustler, " is a common ad- vertisement. Now your hustler often is a mere bustler or a bungler, and some- times a mixture of both. Your hustler is set over against the man with quiet but clear intelligence, and often in a superficial view the latter suffers in the comparison. Now I put it to you, that there is no business where an exact, well balanced judgment is as often required, where a little carelessness and inatten- tion to detail count for so much as in ours, where a seemingly trivial error will leave most ruinous marks on the year's account. There is a specially strong temptation to overstatement in our business, but no where, perhaps, has it been so exalted as one of the virtues of the trade as on this continent. After the men, we come to the stores. One is immediately struck with the really magnificent carnations and roses. For length of stems, richness of coloring, largeness of blooms and general aristo- cratic appearance they quite outclass those usually seen in florists' shops in the Old Country. Cyclamen, too, with long flower stalks well up above the foliage were very good. Only from Kerrs, of Liverpool, have I seen finer. Poinsettias and chrysanthemums were fine but not extraordinary. Foliage plants are only of medium quality. The Christmas dressings of the stores and windows were in good taste and the business done a revelation. But speak- ing generally the condition of the win- dows leaves much to be desired. With one or two conspicuous exceptions they present a slovenly and often bedraggled appearance. In this respect you are be- hind the florist in the Old Country who always looks well to his windows. The introduction of a little pleasing novelty and a more pleasing blending of the material to hand would be fully appre- ciated by the flower-loving public. As to floral and decorative work I can hardly speak, but from what little I have seen there appears to be greater origin- ality of design here than in the Old Country, although in this respect there has been a' great awakening during re- cent years across the water. The ten- dency in both cases is toward a more open and natural arrangement and sim- plicity in designs. The Boston laure) and southern smilax as decorative sub- jects were both new to me. We turn now to the plant houses. These are spacious, admirably fitted for flower growing by the bench method, en- suring the maximum of light and air, but for plant growing I prefer smaller houses, as in the Old Country. The ques- tion of steam versus hot water for all subjects is a debatable one. While I quite see the necessity of a brisk heat for flowering and forced stuff in a win- ter like this, my opinion is that for an ideal plant atmosphere there is nothing like hot water, ensuring greater equili- brium of temperature for growing sub- jects and not drawing too much on the reserve forces of so many subjects need- ing a partial rest during winter. Then there is the question of the hose pipe, ^ly own feeling is that there is a temp- tation to overdo it. In the winter es- pecially does this apply to pot plants. Whether it is harmful to use the told water direct from the mains or whether aired water would not give better results ■ ^ ■ I, •^■me^ ■ -■■^T^^'^fw^' 1440 _ ^^ .. .4 The Weekly Florists* Review* Max 4, 1906. I is a question I should like answering. I am persuaded that you have here in ' Montreal as fine a plant growing climate as can be desired, with a water which has traversed every strata and holds in solution almost every kind of plant food. There is, perhaps, a danger in these ad- vantages, of a certain disregard of detail which in a less favorable state of things would lead only to a moderate success. To point only one example, everything seems to be grown in one soil and that not always of the best. A more exact scientific method might give the highest possible results. Given a man with capital, capability and courage, there is here a splendid opportunity to show what can be done in the way of pot plants, especially in choice ferns and fine foliage stuff. What a magnificent climate for crotons and other stove sub- jects; how dendrobes would thrive and ripen up in this brilliant sunshine; what splendid vine canes could be produced! I feel certain that even such winter and spring subjects as cinerarias, herbaceous calceolarias, streptocarpus, etc., could be well done in spite of certain obvious dif- ficulties'. Sutton's and Dickson's new dwarf star-shaped pink and white cin- erarias would be well worth a trial. I should like to put in a plea for more variety. The position of the rose and carnation we may regard as unassailable. But perfection itself may be reproduced to satiety, and I feel sure the people would respond to something that would combine and associate well with the queen of flowers. I share with you a growing faith in the boundless possibilities of progress in this great Dominion. In its train ther&'ia sure to come that development of the arts and luxuries of life which is the basis of our business. There will grow up a civilization which will eclipse all the courtly and artistic splendors of the old world. Horticulture will open up a new field by supplying a large private gar- den trade, as in the Old Country. A few years hence, we who are on the ground will be regarded as the pioneers of our profession. It is our duty to keep our eyes on that future and anticipate its needs. The man who can add to the enjoyment of life will not only do a good thing for himself but he will earn the lasting gratitude of his kind. MISCELLANEOUS SEASONABLE HINTS. The Bedding Season. In many favored states there may bo no longer any danger of frost, but in the north the month of May seldom passes without one or two frosty nights and that is why it is not safe to bed out our tender plants, and more particularly the tropical plants we use, until the last days of the! month. That, however, should not prevent us from getting into the ground several things that are about hardy but have been in the greenhouse or frames all winter. Antirrhinums, pent- stemons, hollyhocks and all young her- baceous plants sown last summer and wintered in cold frames should now be in the ground. The majority of flower lovers put off planting the pretty pansies until they plant coleus. A sad mistake, for they are in their glory in May. The Pansy. Just a word about a pansy bed. They are usually planted with the view that by early June they will be exhausted and flowerless and be succeeded by something more lasting. That makes business for us, yet these universal favorites can be made a most attractive flower bed into August and with the return of coof weather will renew their vigor and be at- tractive till snow flies again. Only ob- serve two rules. Give them a good soak- ing twice a week in dry weather and never fail to pick off the withered flow- ers. Bearing seeds quickly exhausts. The Sweet Bays. Sweet bays, oleanders, box trees and Hydrangea Otaksa that you have stored for yourself or customers should be stood out where they can get the sun and rain. The sweet bays with us lose the splendid glossy green of health and also the perfect trimness of form that they have when first imported. In fact, it is a marvelous feat of gardening to pro- duce such wonderful wealth of growth and leaves in such tubs. I have never seen the Belgians at it, but it must be during the spring growing season that the pinching is done that makes such perfect form. That we can do also. The health and vigor is kept up by con- stant feeding with the strongest liquid manure, particularly in early summer. We stand them out in the blazing sun and the roots become parched. After the middle of June the tubs should be sunk in the ground up to the rim. This will help greatly to keep the foliage green. We are not all fortunate enough to buy a dozen pair and dispose of them all and frequently have to winter a few dozen for customers who are well worth it in some other way. Hydrangeas. The hydrangeas are not so easy to manage as the others. If kept in a shed where, it has been only a degree or two above freezing they will have made a start and that young, tender growth is easily hurt by a very few degrees of frost. If you leave them in the storage house every day will add to the spindling <;rowth, so get them out and make pro- vision to, in case you can sniff a frosty night ahead, lay them down and cover with a mat or blanket for the night. We are often asked about pruning these hydrangeas. Spring is not the time to prune unless it be to cut out weak or decayed wood. If you shorten back the strong growths made last summer you will lose most of the flowering buds. Prune, if necessary, as soon as the flower loses its color, but that must be early enough in the summer to allow the stems to break and make a good growth. Lillttm Lancifolium. These Japan lilies, properly L. specio- Bum, are usually received and potted with us in December or January. They are now fifteen or eighteen inches high and should be staked before they fall over, for they go three or four feet in height. We consider these beautiful lilies indispensable for designs in July, August and September. It is true we have the cold storage longiflorum with us all the time, but the speciosum is a welcome change, less . formal, in fact more truly Japanese!, and that surely is enough to make it admired. The writer can well remember large pots of these lilies decorating a cool conservatory over half a century ago and it has lost none of its beauty or sweet odor since then. All lilies are natives of temperate climes and the speciosum does not like our hot summers under glass. They like plenty of water, providing it passes; quickly through the soil, a cool temperature and constant fumigation of some kind to keep down aphis. From the middle of May on, some shade and lots of ventila- tion should be given. We think the flowers of Lilium album or L. roseum, either in a design or as a spray or bunch, are far prettier than the much used longiflorum. Cyclamens. This is the time, just coming, when these winter favoriiJes are too often neg- lected. We do not pretend to know much about that small insect, or mite, that later on causes the leaves to pucker and curl and the flowers to be useless, for wc have never had a serious attack of it. Whether in 2 or 3-inch pots, or later batches still in flats, they should be well surrounded with tobacco stems fre- quently renewed. This may not kill aphides that are already at work, but it will go a long way to keep them clean, as it does with any plant. Never let cyclamens get a severe drying. It is a bad check for them, and every bright morning a light spraying is most bene- ficial. I have seen good cyclamens grown in several different ways during summer. One way is a mild hotbed, where the roots could have a little heat and the tops perfect ventilation. They are often plunged in a cold frame after the first of June. We think, however, that for the general florist a south bench in a greenhouse where you can give plenty of ventilation and can shade during the hot sun only, is the safest place. Here you can spray easily and frequently re- new the tobacco. But do not forget to unroll your shadef at 10 a. m. and roll it up at 3 p. m. and on cloudy days do no shading at all. A permanent shading, like whitewashing the glass, is not the thing for cyclamens. Asters. You will soon be planting out your earliest asters. If in flats they can be stood in cold frames, with sash off, on fine days. It will harden them to the sun and wind. It may be worth men- tioning that if your soil is as rich as it should be, asters are often planted too close to do them justice or to keep them clear of weeds. Boston Market and the Hat 4, ItOS. The Weekly Horists' Review* H4i other early varieties will do one foot apart each way. Victoria and the Peonia-flowered should be quite fifteen inches in the row and the rows eighteen inches apart and, unless land is scarce with you, the branching varieties, such as Semple's, deserve eighteen inches in rows and the rows two feet apart. It pays to skip every fifth row. You need a path from which to pick your flowers and carry out your armful of blossoms. A good dusting of wood ashes harrowed in is a great help to asters, but this is only a help. A deep ploughing and plenty of farm yard manure are the principal things. Callas. I wonder if the old calla lily will come again into favor. We have had frequent calls for th^m this season. You may be resting plants in pots now or lifting beds to make room for other crops. You will find many offsets, lit- tle bulbs the size of a hazelnut or smaller. ]f put into 3-inch pots and kept growing they will make flowering plants by next winter. Plunge outdoors in June and keep well watered and later shift into 5-inch pots. It is wonderful what plants they make by fall. When the calla was an important flower we found these young plants quite as profit- able as the older and stronger bulbs. There are a few seeds to sow just now, say cineraria and Primula obconica, if you want them for December and Janu- ary. If you do not care for cineraria ex- cept at Easter, then August or Septem- ber is time enough. Obconica, too, can also be sown in August. If you sow now you can summer these plants in a cold frame, where it is easy to give abundance of fresh air and shade when necessary. The primula plants out and lifts easily. It is a standard, valuable gieenhouse plant and no telling what Bcme of our clever men will yet do with its coloring. When sowing P. obconica do not forget a little of Forbesii, the pretty little baby primrose, useful and beautiful. It is not for me to give any plant a bad character, but for the com- mercial florist the cineraria is a bulky, buggy, soft, unprofitable plant, good to make a conservatory gay, but giving poor returns to the hard working fiorist. Beddins: Roses. Hybrid perpctuals might have been planted two or three weeks ago, although it is now by no means too late for our latitude. Whether you have planted or are still planting these roses, please do not lead your customers to expect a great show of blossoms this summer. It can- Kot be done and have strong, vigorous plants. If two or three eyes are left on each growth they will make a strong growth. A few may terminate with a flower but if not you have the foundation for a rose bush for years to come and are assured of a glorious show the sec- ond year. Department stores now sell thousands of these dormant roses at ten for $1. We are asked repeatedly if they are any good. Yes, I am sorry to say they are good. They may be cheap Dutch stock, but if properly planted and pruned will make good plants. Not one person in a hundred who buys them knows enough to cut them down, so if they start at all, the first winter finishes them and the A Specimen Easter Offering of the Ernst 'Wienhoeber G>., Chicago. local florist is after all depended on for good roses. The classes of roses that will give the most satisfaction to our customers are the tea and hybrid tea varieties. There is not that grand burst of bloom we get in June from a. bed of Ulrich Brunner or Magna Charta, .but there are rose buds all the time and when September or October, with chilly nights are with us, the Carnot or Maman Cochet bud is opening its dewy petals to the morning sun. The hybrid teas, and even the teas, are hardy in many localities and with us can be kept over winter with a good protec- tion of straw and litter. You do not want to save all the growth. If the stems are sound and alive six inches from the ground,' that is enough and if they are killed dead you had pleasure enough from them. Now, and foi^ a week or two, is the time to plant this type of rose. Per- haps they are from a cool house or frame and would have felt a sharp frost. There is no question but that all roses like a heavy fresh loam. A worn-out soil, however much manured, will not do. Have the bed within reach of the hose. The florist for his own use should plant a big bed of Maman Cochet, both white and pink, and Pres. Carnot. For his cus- tomers he should plant these fine varie- ties mentioned and Admiral Schley, Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, Perle des Jar dins and The Burbank. Almost any of the hybrid teas are satisfactory in the summer and the now old-fashioned true teas, Safrano, Isabella Sprunt and Duchess de Brabant we have cut by the thousands in August, September ,and October.

We are now right in the midst of field planting and a few remarks on the de- tails will not be amiss. When plowing the soil be sure it is not too wet. We are always anxious to get' our young car- nations out just as eiirly as we can, but we find that it does not pay ta- let one's hurry get the best of Kis judgnient. I would rather finish a week or two later and have my plants planted properly, in soil that was in the right condition, than to have them plastered into mud real early. The plants will quickly make it up. This spring we could have begun about April 10 with planting but for the un- certainty of frosts. While a degree or two of frost will not kill a young carna- tion plant, yet we do not care to' sub- ject them to it if we can help it. To those who plant only a few thousand plants this early starting doe& not mean very much, as a few days will sufiSce to do the work, but to those who plant from 60,000 up to 200,000 it means a great deal. Some of our larger firms are kept busy three to four weeks planting carna- tions in the field and in order to finish by the middle of May they must get an early start. Did you get one of those side-hill plows? If you did you will be glad of it before you are through planting. Plow as much of the field as you are likely to plant in one day and pulverize it well vith your harrow, finishing up with a drag to level it off nicely. Stretch a stout line lengthwise of the plowed part and begin planting, ten inches to one foot apart in the row and the rows sixteen to eighteen inches apart, according to how much room you have to plant on. Use a trowel for planting, loosening up the soil as deeply as you can, so you will have mellow soil to set the plants in. Set the plant in the soil just deep enough so you can cover the ball of soil with new soil to prevent drying out. Press the soil around it firmly and finish up with loose soil on the surface. Never leave the soil in a packed state on the surface, as it will bake and become unfit for any plant to grow in. A quarter of an inch of loose soil will prevent this. All this can be done very quickly after a little prac- tice and you will find that it pays to do it right. Divide up your force so that none will have to wait on the others and don't leave your plants out of the pots too long, but get them into the soil as soon as possible after they are dumped out of the pots. The young roots will dry out quickly when exposed to the air. Have one man dumping them out of the pots and setting them into flats, while another drops them along the row, while two or three follow him up closely with the planting. By dividing up your men properly you can keep things moving along smoothly and have every plant, in the ground within a half h*ur after it is taken from the pot. No watnnDg is necessary when planting in fresh pIo^iiradL ground, as the plants will take hold be- fore the soil can dry out very much. Let one of the men before quitting time go through the day's planting with the hand cultivator to loosen up the soil between the rows where it was tramped in planting. Let this be the beginning of the cultivating which should be kept up systematically all summer. I will have more to say about that later on. Be careful of your labels so there will be no mixtures. Use large labels that won't be knocked out of the ground every time you go through with the cul- tivator. If you have some late propagated cut- tings in the sand, don't do as we some- times see done, plant them in the field from the cutting bench. Every grower knows how necessary it is to shade the young cuttings from the sun for several days after potting and how much more necessary must it be this late, when the sun is so strong, and how much more the cuttings must suffer when planted into the open field in the hot sun and wind than they would in the greenhouse. Bet- ter pot them as soon as they are ready, into your smallest size pots, into light sandy soil, so that root action will be quick and they wiil be rooted through well enough to hold the ball of soil to- gether in a couple of weeks. Always bear in mind that these young plants are to be your stock for next winter and it is not a question of how little care they can get along with, but rather how much can you do to improve their growth from the veiy beginning. As one of our prominent growers said recently, nothing is too much trouble if you want to have the best. A. F. J. Baur. CoxcoRDiA, Kan. — C. J. Lampe is preparing to build two houses 18x75.

Mr. Hutchison still clings to some of the old favorite vkrieties, among them i'lora Hill, which does so well for him that the new whites have a bard task to erowd. it out. The accompanying illus- tration is from a photograph taken., in his house of Flora Hill in February. AZALEA INDiCA. When the florist speaks of azaleas, the evergreen tender shrub is meant and we have few, if any, more showy or beauti- ful plants. The Ghent azaleas as well as Azalea Mollis are beautiful hardy shrubs where they thrive, as well as pretty plants for forcing, yet ths Indian or Chinese species is queen. The Chinese have culti- vated these azaleas for centuries and it is from crossing several varieties found there that we now have the innumerable splendid varieties. It appeals to me that we now handle an azalea with much great- er freedom than would have been con- sidered wise or safe forty years ago. Planting out in beds and lifting in the fall, and this repeated for several sea- sons, is now the method, not only in Bel- gium, where you may say they are manu- factured by the millions, but it is also done by our florists with stock unsold in the spring. Where you have a deep, fri- able soil within reach of the hose they will summer over and lift in September or October quite as well as those kept in pots and with less labor. The azalea is naturally a branching, irregular shaped shrub and if more of our pot-grown plants were allowed to as- sume their natural form if would be a pleasing variety to the formal, closely pinched plants so invariably seen in com- mercial places. In private gardens you do see fine azaleas of a natural, free and easy growth, and most decorative they are. Almost entirely the plants we import, big and little, are pinched into broad, flat and slightly rounding crowns, which may be called the utoibrella form, a mo- notonous but excellent shape to make a A House at J. H. A. Hutchison's Oxford, Pa. .-^J' -"^<^7,:-:,^ May 4, 1006. The Weekly Flonsts^ Review* J443 dense mass of blooms and show them all. This form the Belgians and Germans pro- duce by pinching while the young plants are making a vigorous summer's growth in the beds which have been saturated with manure for years. The small but tough, wiry growth of the azalea lends it- self rsadily to any desired form and the British gardener, perhaps also the con- tinental, prides himself on his grand specimen azaleas trained in pyramidal form. These wonderful specimens cannot be produced in a few years. It is a work of many years and infinite skill and labor. A moderate or small sized plant is taken in hand and one or two strong growths encouraged to be leaders. The lateral growths are tied down, for a specimen must be perfect from the rim of the pot to the pinnacle, shoots tied into vacant spaces, etc., and so year by year a perfect outline is formed. We have often seen specimens six feet high and perhaps three feet in diameter at the base. Such plants are very common in private gardens. We have a rather hazy recollection that at the great Vienna exhibition some thir- ty years ago, Benjamin S. Williams, the famous London nurseryman, exhibited twelve wonderful pyramid specimen azaleas and old Kaiser Wilhelm, of Ger- many, purchased them for £1,200. Please let no one take me up on date or city or what kind of an emperor it was, for I will not be positive, but I will swear that there were twelve azaleas and they brought $6,000. About $500 for each of these azaleas seems a "juicy" price, but if 3'ou consider the years (perhaps thir- ty) they had been growing and all the skill and labor expended on them there \>"a9 nothing in the least extravagant about thef price, whatever you may think of the sum. The Europeans used to think that a mixture of fibrous, turfy loam and peat, the latter most essential, was the only compost to grow these fine azaleas. The peat found in so many localities there is undoubtedly most congenial to the fine, hairlike roots of the azalea, but yet I feel sure fine healthy azaleas can be grown without it. Good, turfy loam, sod stacked up just long enough to kill the grass roots, and one-third of leaf-mold, genuine decay^ leaves, and perfect drainage will grdvr azaleas. All Ericacious \»]ants, and the azalea is one, have an antipathy to lime, and soil from a limeston^^ district should not be used. Shifting should always be done soon after flowering, for then growth be- gins, and always should shifting be done carefully and firmly, removing all old crocks and soil that was unoccupied with roots. Neither do they want shifting un- less you are sure the pots are well filled with roots. Time was when azaleas were stood under trees or lattice houses dur- ing summer. We all know better now. They love the fullest light and brightest sun, with one big "if." If you don't neglect them for water. From the time they start into active growth in the spring until the growth is matured and the buds set in early fall, they want copi- ous watering. In the winter months and a low temperature they need less water, but at any season they are injured or killed by a severe drying out. Let 's grow some specimen pyramidal azaleas to show what we can do and exhibit at the next World's Fair on Long Island, N. Y., in 3919.

The pyramidal form of azalea is very popular with the patrons of the retail florists. At Easter larger numbers than ever before weref shown and sold readily at better prices than the familiar "um- brella-shaped" plants. Of course the average retailer cannot sell the great spec- imens which are sometimes seen in pri- vate conservatories, the average city store preferring plants from a foot and a half to three feet high. Just as novelty in any particular is appreciated, so many buyers seize upon these pyramidal azaleas as a welcome departure from the stereo- typed form. The accompanying illustra- tion is from a plant of Azalea Dr. Metz- ger, double, deep pink, photographed at the establishment of C. A. Samuelson, Chicago, at Easter. He had a number specially grown for him. SAXIFRAGA SARMENTOSA. This old-fashioned plant is known commonly as "mother of thousands," and was once immensely popular for the greenhouse, and as a window plant. Excellent specimens may be grown in pots, but it does best in baskets, as then its real beauty is luUy displayed, says a writer in the Gardeners' Magazine. It is an accommodating plant, of easy culture, and one that sustains no injiuy through a long sojourn in dwelling- rooms; indeed, many excellent specimens are grown year after year in cottage windows. Well-grown plants have dark green leaves prettily mottled with white, and these are surmounted by tali branch- ing panicles of delicate white blossonas, while numerous thread-Iiko ruuucra. stud- ded here and there with plantlets, de- pend gracefully, thus lending grace to 1444 The Weekly Florists^ Review.

Propagation is performed in the siir- plest manner ; on established plants there will be a wealth of young stock already rooted, and these soon become estab- lished if removed and inserted close to the side of small pots filled with light, sandy soil. When the pots be- come well-filled with roots, transfer the plants to baskets, which should be lined with fresh moss. On the moss place some soil, aud put a few siurUl plants round the sides, with their tops protrud- ing through the moss; add more soil, aud then put three or four of the strong- est plants on the top. A good watering through a rose should then be given, and the baskets hung up in a structure in which a genial temperature is main- tained, until the plants are established, when they may be removed to a cold house or to rooms. Red spider and thrips sometimes at- tack Saxifraga sarmentosa, aud t'lese may be kept in check by frequent syring- ings with clear or soapy water, but this must not be neglected. STYLE OF BENCH. Tlie question whether solid or table benches are the most profitable seems still to be undecided, some experts favor- ing one kind and others as strenuously advocating another. A great deal de- pends on the quality of the soil and still more on the ability of the man, and, where solid benches are in use, on the kind of subsoil, whether it is suitable for a good natural drainage or whether the drainage has to be made. The old style of solid bench, which was simply building walls around the space to be occupied by the bench and filling in the compost, is still employed success- fully in many places and is admirably suited for summer work and where, a» in many cases, the bushes are carried over for more than one or two seasons, they also do well. Where there is a good shale bottom this class of bench produces wonderful vrops of high grade flowers, especially under the care of an expert, but I have seen a larger per cent of failures with this class of bench than with any of the forms of table benches used. The newer styles of solid benches, which are really not entitled to be classed as such, are mostly built with a view to using artificial drainage, either in the form of ashes, rubble, or tile bot- tr»ms. and have none of the advantages of either the old solid bench or the more modern style of table bench. Table benches are also of various kinds, from the plain deal bench, with spaces left between the bottom slats for drainage, to the more elaborate trussed iron bench with tile bottoms and stone edgings. Tliis latter bench in my opin- ion more nearly approaches the ideal than any other form extant, as it pos- sesses the qualities which most growers have been striving for, viz., is easily erected, nearly indestructible, neat and at about the same cost as the most ordinary deal bench. The drainage also is nearly perfect. My preference for table benches is based upon the' fact that having the advantage of air bejow and around them, they dry out much more rapidly than any form of solid bench can and are con- sequently safer where there is a chance of having to put them in the care of careless or incompetent help. During the long dark days we have also better con- trol of the temperature of the soil and there is no danger of the roots digging into unsuitable food. Under expert care the results from some of the forms of solid benches are very satisfactory and, although all my benches are of the solid pattern, with tile bottoms, I am of the opinion that varietieis such as Meteor, Ivory and Golden Gaie would have given better results during the winter if they had been on table benches. For summer work any of the forms of the solid bench are vnthout doubt pref- erable to the table bench, as the roots can be kept at a more uniform temper- ature and the soil does not dry out so rapidly, but the question is, which are the most profitable benches for the sea- son's work? Having had a few inquiries recently on this subject I will discuss it further in a future article. Ribes. LAELIA JONGHEANA. Some five or six years ago this Iselia was imported in considerable quanti- ties and is now comparatively cheap. As one of the winter blooming soecies, which comes in season when Lselia an- ceps is over and Cattleya Trianffi is on the wane, it is of special value. The flowers are deep pink in shade, deepen- ing almost to purple, with a golden yel- low lip. Wbile ordinary flowers will not measure over five inches across, we had some this season eight inches in diameter. We grow our plants in baskets hung near the roof in the odontoglossum house in summer, removing them to the cool end of the cattleya house in win- ter, using a compost of pure fern fibre. A cattleya temperature is too high for the best success with this orchid in summer. Prom April to October a north house seems to suit it better. W. N. Cbaio. WiLLiAMSPORT, Pa. — Daniel E.

The forty return bends are also exposed to the fire. The grate is 2x4 feet. The coils are directly over the fire and the whole is bricked in so that we have a good draft. I have one house 20x75, twelve feet to ridge. This is piped with one 4-inch flow from each side of the top header and returned with two 4-inch pipes on each side to the lower header. This kept this house warm with very little firing. I have connected to this house another 20x100. Will this boiler heat this second house and keep both warm enough to grow lettuce? J. W. E. If I interpret your situation correctly you now have a pipe boiler carrying 160 lineal feet of 1^-inch pipe exposed to the action of the heat. This would give a heating surface of about seventy square feet, which under normal condi- tions should carry about 560 feet of radiation. The six 4-inch pipes used in the house 20x75 feet give a radiation of about 526 square feet, or thirty-four feet less than the rating of the boiler. It is therefore not likely that this boiler will be suflScient to heat the additional house. You have a little more pipe in the house 20x75 feet than is necessary to maintain a temperature of 50 degrees, which is sufficient for lettuce, but even were you to reduce the piping in this house to 400 square feet of radiation, you would then only have a reserve in your boiler of 150 feet, whereas the house 20x100 should have 520 feet of radiation to supply it with sufficient pipe to maintain a temperature of 50 degrees. If you like this type of boiler your best plan would be to build an auxiliary boiler to be placed in commission when needed. Build another boiler of the same size as the one you now have and then arrange the piping so as to heat all from either boiler alone or so as to use a boiler for each house! during se- vere weather. Your plan of piping is all right if it gives good results and if you can get the radiation as cheaply in the 4-inch pipe as in smaller pipe, which can sel- dom be don«?. The 1% or li4-inch pipes are usually less expensive for a given area of rawdiation than the larger pipe. In order that you may determine this for your own case I will say that it takes 2.7 feet of 1%-inch and 2.3 feet of 1%- inch pipe to equal one foot of 4-inch pipe in area of radiation. L. C. C. ST. LOUIS. The Market. The trade had its ups and downs the past week. The very disagreeable weather interfered greatly with transient trade among the down-town florists but there seems to be considerable work going on with the up-town retailers, with wed- dings and parties. This, with a good deal of funeral work, made the week fol- lowing Easter a fairly good one. The growers are, of course, very busy at this time of the year with bedding stock and supplying the trade with blooming plants. At the wholesale houses there seems to be plenty of every- thing the trade calls for except fancy carnations. They seem to be a little off crop at present. There are plenty of fine tea roses, with the top figure! at $8 per hundred. American Beauties are also in good sup- ply, with fancies at $5 per dozen. Car- nations are still up in price, with fancies at $4 per hundred. Tulips, lily of the valley, callas, longiflorums and other bulbous stock show no advance. Sweet peas are coming in fine and more than the commission men can handle at pres- ent. In greens the market has every- thing in plenty, including some of Cald- well's new huckleberry branches, which take the place of wild smilax and are very well thought of among the trade here.

May 11, at 2 o'clock. A talk by the growers, retailers and com- mission men on Easter business will be one of the features. The officers look forward to an interesting meeting and President Juengel expects every member to be present and join in the different discussions which will come up. The plant stands at Union Market are handling some extra fine' blooming plants and report a rushing business the past week. All the local growers will commence planting this week. Plenty of rain of late put the ground in splendid condi- tion for this kind of work. Heavy or- ders are already in for all kinds of bed- ding stock, of which plenty is to be had. Only four members of the bowling club showed up on Monday night, so a match of six games was arranged between Kuehn and Miller and Beneke and Mein- hardt. The first pair won by a margin of two pins, each team winning three games as follows: Kuehn, 1,050; Miller, 892; Beneke, 980; Meinhardt, 960. High single score, Beneke, 212; Kuehn, 200. J. D. Thompson, of the Thompson Carnation Co., Joliet, 111., spent Mon- day and Tuesday among the trade here. Mr. Thompson entertained the boys on the great Chicago strike and the hard- ships of the wholesalers in that city at present. J. J. B. NEW YORK. The Market Since the close of Lent, weddings have been numerous. Everything in cut flowers has cleaned up at low prices and business has settled down to "the even tenor of its way" in the spring, with supplies abundant and the tendency to lower figures. Lilies were actually sold one day last week at $10 a thousand. Orchids and valley are firm at good prices, thanks to the potency of the old, old story and the many ventures upon matrimony's sea. There cannot be too many weddings this spring to "even up things" for the patient fiorists and to end encouragingly the most strenuous season in their experience. Bulbous stock is now very plentiful. Violets are no longer quotable and few are arriving. The continued cool weather has wonderfully prolonged their season. Valley and smilax are bringing good prices. Maids and Brides are down. The best of them could be had for $5 on Saturday. The weather on Monday was chilly, approaching freezing up the state and too cold for anything less than overcoats in New York. This seemed to have a beneficial effect on business in all de- partments of the cut flower section, and everything went at better prices. Good Beauties were quite scarce and anything extra commanded $25 per hundred. Various Notei. It is reported that the Fernery has engaged a store on Fifth avenue, near Twenty-ninth street, and Jos. Fleishman has taken a corner store at Forty-third street and Fifth avenue, right in the midst of the fine establishmetits of Smythe, Young, Thorley and McConnell. Concentration is going forward with a vengeance. Now that Easter is but a "has been" we must turn to the coming day of hal- lowed memories. Decoration day is close at hand. Its importance to floricul- ture grows with the years. With consis- tent care and skill the plantsmen have prepared for it as never before and the supply for the occasion never has been so extensive and beautiful. Hydrangeas, Crimson Ramblers and lilies form the bulk of the supply. There are thou- sands of them that will be ready for the demand, which is already in evidence, but none too many for th« extraordinary requirements of the Memorial day. Next Monday will be the New York Florists' Club's bedding plant festival. There ought to be a good display. The veteran critic, Birnie, is master of cere- monies. There will be less discussion and more entertainment than usual. The Brooklyn park board, with its idiotic ex- pulsion of children from its greenhouses, will get "what is coming to it" from the president and his committee and other matters of importance will receive consideration. Elliott & Sons stay in their old quar- ters on Dey street a month or two longer, gradually moving to the new place on Fulton street. The auction de- partment will continue meantime at the old stand. The sale of orchids at deary's last ders of all kinds of nursery stock, often draws crowds on auction days. Few fa- miliar faces among the buyers these days. At both places seldom a retail florist can be seen. The crowd is largely suburb- anites and the! prices obtained are often excellent, thereby. The streets down-town are full of ven- dors of all kinds of nursery stock, often "fearfully and wonderfully" labeled and much of it thoroughly warmed and dried in the afternoon sunshine, until one's heart warms toward the unfortunate countryman who goes home "weary and heavy laden" with great expectations. The big seed stores that cater to the retail public have had and are now hav- ing a wonderfully prosperous season. The places of business are all crowded and in some of them last week standing room was at a premium. There is no city in the world with such an enormous and constantly growing suburban clientage. The) tendency of the seedsmen and bulb men is northward. Perhaps this is in anticipation of the Pennsylvania termi- nal at Thirty-fourth street. Salph Ward & Co. have advanced sev- eral blocks. Elliott goes to Fulton street, Marshall & Co. are on Twenty- third street. Clucas & Boddington Co. are now located on the! same great re- tail thoroughfare. Arthur T. Bodding- ton is on Fourteenth street. Thorburn and Henderson remain on Cortlandt street, opposite each other on what will always be the great retail street of lower New' York, though the transfer of the Pennsylvania traffic northward must certainly be a disadvantage later on. The convention at Washington already is a subject for discussion in New York. The Washington florists are full of en- thusiasm. Great plans for the reception of a record breaking crowd and over- bubbling interest are manifest. The dele- gation from New York should exceed that at Buffalo, which certainly was a credit to the metropolis, nearly 200 strong. There is no more interesting city than Washington. I predict an at- tendance of 2,000. W. C. Krick and his sister have the sympathy of the trade in the death of Henry Grebe, of Jamaica, a mai£K)f excel- lent character and a successful florist, who while temporarily insane shot him- self last week. He leaves a widow and two children. He had an abundance of means and everything to live for. * The) woman florist has been a success in this country generally and has shown good financial ability. So the failure of Miss Cohn, of 17 East Fifty-ninth street, just at Easter time is hard to understand. The assets consist of $20 in uncollected bills, but the liabilities total the unusual margin of $3,989. Bowline, The Bowling Club held its last ses- sion at the old rooms on West Thirtieth street Monday evening. President Traend- ly in the chair. It was decided to hold a decisive session at the club rooms next Monday evening in the Grand Opera House building, where the club will be re-organized and arrangements made for weekly practice at Thum's alleys on Broadway and Thirtieth street, close to the wholesale section. In this way the team to represent the club at Washing- ton will be selected. With a more con- venient center for practice, and an even- ing more satisfactory to the majority, it is hoped a representative! team may be got together to do itself and the) Flo- rists' Club honor at the August conven- tion. The final scores of the old guard made Monday evening were: Player. lat 2d 3rt Capt. Fenrlch 168 Treas. Guttman 127 158 17S Sec. Shaw 116 117 125 Rooter Manda 143 151 158 Lieut. Holt 119 134 144 J. Austin Shaw. BOSTON. The Market Prices are generally lower than a week ago. In spite of social activity, the quantity of flowers now coming in is more than the market can properly digest and naturally a good many find their way into the hands of street ven- ders or remain in the ice chests. Of course, good stock sells readily, as it always does. Beauties are quite plenti- ful 'ahd lower in price. The shorter- stemmed grades of Brides and Brides- maids are very cheap, many being sold at $1 per hundred. While especially good carnations have realized $3 to $4, the average price for good stock has been $2 to $2.50. Enchantress, Fair Maid, Lawson and Nelson Fisher, owing to the comparatively cool weather, still come of fine size and excellent color. A "few violets still come in, principally doubles, but the present week will see a finish of these. Bulbous stock sells de- cidedly better than a year ago. Quite a lot of white and colored stocks come in, but these are hard to sell except at Decoration day, unless of extra good quality. There is a fair demand for lilies for society weddings, of which we have had a good many the past week. Sweet peas are very abundant and cheaper. Adiantum is lower, as the new Mat 4, 1005.

The field day of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club on April 29 to the well known pot manufactory of A. H. Hews & Co., Cambridge, attracted over forty members, who journeyed thither by elec- trics. Some two hours were spent under the guidance of the members of the firm in inspecting their excellent plant. Particular interest centered in the sec- tion devoted to machine made pots, sizes from one to six inches being turned out here. The expert workmen in charge of the machines can make 10,000 of the 3- inch and 4-inch sizes per day. Sizes from six to twelve inches are made in plaster moulds and the largest sizes by hand. A good average! day's work is fifty pots of the 18-inch size. The an- nual turnout of pots is in the neighbor- hood of 10,000,000. These are shipped to every state in the union, as well as Canada. Some are also sent abroad. As illustrating the careful packing done by this firm, in a recent shipment made to Seattle of 20,000 pots only three were found cracked. In addition to flower pots, immense quantities of seed and bulb pans, both square and round, orchid baskets, jar- dinieres, umbrella stands, ornamental vases in a number of designs and other classes of work are manufactured. The quality is of the very highest. The firm is the oldest of its kind in America, having been started in Weston, Mass., in 1765, moving to Cambridge in 1868. Commodious as are the present quartets, with the steadily increasing trade an addition to the plant will be needed in the near future. The clay used is obtained within five minutes' walk of the factory in seeming limitless quantity. About thirty tons per day are used. About 100 hands are employed and several travelers are kept on the road. After the factory had been inspected from "top to toe," an adjournment was made to the oflices, prettily decorated for the occasion, where the visiting delega- tion enjoyed a first-class collation pro- vided by the firm. Souvenirs in the form of miniature flower pots, bean pots, etc., were handed out in quantity. After the inner man had been satisfied with the good things provided, James Wheeler on behalf of the club, voiced their thanks for the generous hospitality shown. Three chee'rs and a tiger were given with a will and every one, as he journeyed homeward, felt that he had spent a most profitable and pleasant afternoon. The speaker at the June meeting of the club will be M. H. Walsh on roses. Much interest is being manifested in the picnic being planned for June. As ladies will be included, a royal good time is anticipated. Exhibition. Owing to the halls of the Massachu- setts Horticultural Society all being rented for the first week in May, the exhibition which should have been held on May 6, was put forward to April 29. Owing to the lateness of the season this proved too early for much of a display of outdoor flowers. Of collections of narcissi and tulips J. O. Christensen was the sole exhibitor, winning first in each class. James Stuart, gardener to Geo. F. Fabyan, had a dozen magnificent her- baceous calceolarias, specimens three feet across and showing splendid culture. He secured first and second prizes with these. The samef exhibitor took first and second for six fancy pelargoniums with excellent plants, his best varieties being Alice Love, Mabel, Nellie Hayes, Lady Duff, Linda, Purity, Ophelia, Mrs. Ashley and Miss Henderson. Mr. Stu- art was also the sole exhibitor of three azaleas, for which he secured second prize. Robert Marshall, gardener to E. W. Converse, showed three splendidly* flow- ered pots of Amaryllis vittata, one car- rying seventeen spikes. These secured a cultural certificate. He also had a batch of nice spirseas. Thomas T. Watt re- ceived a cultural certificate for a capi- tally fiowered plant of the old but not often seen Saccolabium ampullaceum, and Robert Cameron a first-class certifi- cate for the new Impatiens Holstei, not previously shown here, which promises to be an excellent commercial variety. J. B. Shurtleff and Mrs. E. M. Gill had the best collections of pansies, the latter also making a general display. For thirty varieties of native plants Mrs. Arthur Clark and Miss Isabell Shattuck took first and second. There was a» fine lot of forced vegetables, the cucumbers and lettuce being especially good. C. H. Metcalf showed a dozen cucumbers, which were the finest types of Whit* Spine we have seen for a long time. Various Notes. The Boston Sunday Globe, which has been giving a series of articles on flori- culture, very intelligently written, from the pen of W. K. Wood, of West New- ton, had an excellent illustrated sketch of William H. Elliott, the "Asparagus King," and his establishments at Brigh- ton, Mass., and Medbury, N. H., in its issue of April 30. Prospects are good for baseball games between the rival flower markets. The stall-holders at Music Hall place are taking the initiative in the matter. Carnation growers commenced plant- ing out their stock this week. In this connection we note that in spite of "de- terioration" talk, Lawson is being heav- ily planted. Growers of rooted cuttings report a wonderful demand for this va- riety. Farquhar & Co. report that their stocks of Lilium Philippinense, longi- florum and Harrisii at their new nursery in Porto Rico are doing finely and are . absolutely free from disease. Harry J. Cannell, assistant gardener on the estate of W. S. Spaulding, Pride's Crossing, Mass., was struck by a train and instantly killed near his home oa '-•■■'.Hi >*;*^' v*;'/ 1448 ThcWcddy Florists' Review* IClZ 4. 1906. April 23. The deceased was 34 years of age and a native of Dorsetshire, Eng- land, having been in the vicinity of Bos- ton about fifteen years. He leaves a widow and baby for whom great sym- pathy is felt. This is taking a practical nature, as a subscription among the gar- deners and florists on their behalf testi- fies. For some" time the deceased has been suffering from melancholy and his friends fear that in a state of temporarj- insanity he may have committed suicide. Alexander McKay will grow chrysan- themums and carnations in his new house now being erected, dimensions of which are 31x300. He will later grow roses. Colonel Charles Pfaff, a well known ex- hibitor at the Boston shows, through his gardener, George Melvin, has just sold his fine estate in South Framingham to a syndicate and has purchased Mrs. A. W. Spencer's estate, where Alex. McKay has been in charge. J. T. Butterworth is shipping some fine seasonable orchids to Carbone's and other high cifss stores. Foresib fires, which havC been numer- ous this spring, owing to the dryness of the season, have threatened several greenhouse* plants. That of the H. A. Stevens Co. had a narrow escape very recently and considerable damage to theii* stock was caused by smoke. The fire was caused by sparks on the N. Y. N. H. & H. E. E. and that company seems disposed to settle for damage done. W. N. Craig. PHILADELPHIA. The Market The volume of business in the fash- ionable retail stores is steadily declin- ing. The quality of cut flowers is excel- lent for May, with prices fairly well maintained. There is always at" this season a large quantity of stodc that brings small return, reducing the aver- age price considerably. Quality tells heavily even now, the good stock averag- ing well, when cost of production is con- sidered. The feature of the rose market is the arrival of the first new crop Beauties, exceptionally fine flowers on short stems, sent by Carl Jurgens, of Newport, E. I., to the Leo Niessen Co. This company is also receiving Miniature gladiolus and is very strong on valley. Albert Woltemate, of Germantown, is sending well finished fancy blooms of white snapdragon to S. S. Pennock. Sweet peas are exo(?ptionally fine, al- though a little too plentiful. Easter lilies and callas are numerous and not in demand. This week smilax continues scarce. Orchids are a little more plenti- ful. The New Decorative Green. I had the pleasure of seeing some sam- ple cases of southern huckleberry branches at the Leo Niessen Co.'s this week. It bears a pretty, rather delicate green leaf, with tiny white blossoms, and should prove a good substitute for wild smilax, which disappeared with the advent of Easter. There is good reason to believe that the huckleberrry will stand well. Used in conjunction with spring blossoms, it should be a great aid to the decorators. Easter Echoes. A good deal of interest has been ex- pressed in the sales of Easter plants by the department stores. The general feeling appears to be that these sales are detrimental to the business. One of our most prominent florists, however, be- lieves that this view is a mistaken one. He cites lilies as an example. The mar- ket price for lilies in pots was 10 to 12 cents for each bud and bloom. The de- partment stores as a rule paid 9 cents. They ' bought in quantity, taking the plants as they came and counting all the buds. They sold them at 12 cents, con- sidering the plants more in the light of an advertisement than as a money mak- ing investment. The result of these department store displays was a big advertisement of Easter plants. Many persons seeing them went at once to their regular florist and ordered what they had most fancied. It was instanced that the sale of azaleas fell off consid- erably in some of the large retail florists' stores as a result of the azaleas not being on sale in the department Stores. I am inclined to think there is much truth in this view of the- case. A very large percentage of flower buyers buy plants because they want them, not be- cause they are cheap. When quality is good and price fair they prefer buy- ing from a reputable florist. A leading wholesaler comments unfa- vorably on the Easter quotation for American Beauties in this column of $5 to $6 a dozen, He says it should be $5 to $7.50 a dozen. That is true; a few hundred of the best Beauties were sold at $7.50 a dozen, but it has never been the practice of this column to quote prices beyond the average. By some error the price of daffodils last week was marked too low. Qub Meeting. Tuesday's meeting of the Florists' Club made up in interest what it lacked in attendance. Burbanlc's achievements as a hybridizer was the subject of a paper read by Edwin Lonsdale. There was a general discussion afterward. Both paper and comments were full of interest. Conard & Jones Co., of West Grove, exhibited some nice plants of Baby Eambler from small pots. Antoine Wintzer, who grew them, described their characteristics and those of some other new varieties, closing with a spirited ap- peal for home roses. He was warmly applauded. Vartooi Notes. James M. Thoirs, of Camden, had a most satisfactory Easter. He was obliged to secure a fresh stock of Easter lilies, both cut and in pots. The Philadelphia Carnation Co. has about planted all their young stock out in the field. Harry Crawford says they are a very promising lot of about 40,000. E. G. Palmer is once more in the city, selling flowers to his old customers. Eobert Scott & Son have repaired the damage to their new house caused by the cyclone. They fully expect to have it finished next month. Julius Wolff, Jr., has had a large number of decorations and weddings, following an excellent Easter. Eobert Jameson will leave F. & H. Mergenthaler and return to Joseph Hea- cock. Frank Miles Day will give an illus- trated lecture on "An Italian Garden" before the Germantown Horticultural Society next Monday evening at Asso- ciation Hall. Better come. I regret to chronicle that the senior member of thet firm of Hoskins & Giles, of Heading, died last week. He was bur- ied on Monday. M. Bice & Co. report that they are ex- ceptionally busy on orders for bridal baskets, wedding gates, church ropes, etc. Their April business was a record- breaker. Phiu TORONTO. The Easter Trade. Now that Easter is over and we have had ample time to get full reports as to the business done, we are able to say that it was a greater Easter than ever. Satur- day was an ideal day for business, though it might be added that Friday was a grand combination between snow, rain and hail, and the retail men report Good Friday's sales as being low. Those who believed that there would be more Easter lilies on the market than would be used were doomed to disap- pointment. In fact, many of the growers were filling orders at the last with lilies that were without even one developed flower. In roses and carnations the sup- ply was not nearly equal to the demand. In bulbous stock there was an oversup- ply in some lines, but everything was cleaned out fairly well. Violets were short. We might also mention that smi- lax was practically out of the market and something else had to be used for church decorations. Varioos Notes. J. S. Simmons has just finished decorat- ing and remodeling his store, and has a place that is a credit to Toronto and, I might add, would be a credit to any city. Dunlop had a large Easter display of flowering plants decorated in a most ar- tistic manner with fancy Porto Bican mats and new tinted ribbons. His Amer- ican Beauties were very fine and he re- ports good business in all lines. S. Tidy & Son report having done a larger business in baskets, baskets of flowers and plants than at any previous Easter. Their stock in this line, was new and very tasty. Mr. Tidy visited several American points just before Eas- ter, purchasing these goods. W. Jay & Son had a fine display of plants from their own greenhouses. E. Meams, Parkdale, reports that he had to duplicate his orders many times in order to supply the demand, especially for good flowering plants. Miller & Son, of Bracondale, as usual had an immense stock of Easter lilies. This was considerably cut down by heavy orders received from Buffalo, Chicago and other points. On Saturday they were out of all salable plants. Grobba & Wandrey, of Mimico, had without exception the best bulb stock sent to the Toronto market. Their supply of Easter lilies was exhausted a week before Easter, as they had been coming along steadily since early in March, but they expect to have a continuous supply for the summer months. The Toronto Floral Co. and W. J. Lawrence sent in their usual supply of good roses and carnations. Easter business has been followed up by considerable stir in society, with a visit from His Excellency, Earl Grey, the gov- ernor-general, and Countess Grey, and a number of notable social functions were held in their honor, together with state dinners, etc. D.

The Market At the close of last week receipts were fihortened up, principally on account of the difficulty in getting stock from the depots by the old-fashioned process of carrying it under one's arms, but cool weather also had an influence and some of the growers report the heavy spring rose crop as coming off. But at the be- ginning of the present week receipts werel much larger; in fact, much larger than the demand, and the market was pretty well glutted with all kinds of ma- terial, including roses and fancy carna- tions, the prices on which averaged very low. There are thousands of belated Eas- ter lilies which are very hard to move and the receipts of callas show no diminution. Although the season for indoor bulbous stock is supposed to be over, there are, nevertheless, large quan- tities of tulips which have hard work in oompetition with the outdoor stuff. Tbe*:e is lots of arbutus. The one scarce item is smilax. There is so large a sup- ply of adiantum that considerable quan- tities go to waste. The wholesalers are becoming anxious to dispose of ferns be- cause the new crop is at hand and con- siderable quantities of cold storage stock remain. At the close of last week business was more than could be handled under exist- ing conditions, but this week has started in dull. It is likely to continue so until Friday. Strike of Express Drivers. The long anticipated and inevitable! strike of drivers employed by the express companies came on the afternoon of April 27 and left the wholesale florists without means for despatching the after- noon shipments. No union teamster would touch an express box and no non- union teamster dared to. Hence it was a case of the florist packing the box to the depot as best he could, by street car or on his back. It is no small task to "hustle" a box with 2,000 carnations or so, a mile or more to a depot, and it was inevitable that many large and some smaller shipments should be failed on that first evening and the next day. At all the depots there were lines of pickets to turn back all express matter and some boxes of flowers failed to get through but most of them did, one way or an- other. On Friday there was a meeting of the wholesalers at the office of the Benthey- Coatsworth Co. to talk over the situa- tion. The alternatives of joining in the fight by getting police-guarded wagons or trying to do business by the grace of the union were offered. It was decided to try the latter course first and a commit- tee was appointed to draw up a letter calling attention to the perishable char- acter of the stock • and emphasizing the statement that most flowers are for funeral purposes. This was signed by all the houses and presented to Business Agent Barry, of the express drivers' local. His answer was that shipments marked "funeral flowers" would be al- lowed to pass the lines. As to in-freight he took the position that if the express companies brought it to the city, it was up to them to make delivery. This was inconsistent with his concession to out- going boxes but at the moment was not open to argument. These facts were set before a second meeting of wholesal- ers Saturday morning and the Morists' Teaming Co., Fred Lautenschlager, gen- eral manager, promptly organized, hiring union wagons and successfully passing the lines with huge loads of "funeral flowers." Mr. Lautenschlager's services are highly appreciated. The wagons handled 125 boxes the first afternoon and solved the difficulty of outgoing ship- ments, but left the incoming stuff in as bad a way as ever. A committee was appointed to try to arrange a way to get the in-freight handled, but as yet it is a case of everyone for himself in getting his stock out' of the depot the best way he can. There is a great deal of «tock close enough to town so that it is brought in by wagon or by messenger and a little trouble has so far served to get hold of express consignments, so that business is practically uninterrupted, although con- ducted at increased expense. The express companies have begun making deliveries under police guard but there is no tell- ing, however, at what moment existing arrangements will be upset. The trouble all grew out of a strike of nineteen garment workers at Montgom- ery Ward's last November. They in- duced a sympathetic strike of Ward's teamsters. After a short time the team- sters abandoned the garment makers and offered to go back to work. Ward's wouldn't take them back. That was rubbing it in, from the union viewpoint, and unions and employers lined up for a big fight. The trouble spread as fast as teamsters were ordered to make deliveries to Ward & Co. It is estimated that 3,500 drivers are now out. Strike'Notes. The first day of the trouble Poehlmann Bros. Co. had a lot of boxes to go out on the Illinois Central, the depot a mile and a half from the store. They found an expressman who said be would make the trip if a police escort could be had. Police headquarters were called up and a request made for "a few policemen." In a few minutes a sergeant and sixteen pa- trolmen appeared. Needless to say, the trip was made in safety. While police protection was possible, as a rule the wholesalers were vety reluctant to re- sort to it, as it might have forced the flower trade into the center of the fight. It looks to be easier to do business out- side the storm center. And after the trouble is settled the wholesalers will have use for the friendship of the ex- press drivers. When the trouble is over the express companies will be deluged with claims. Probably forbearance in this matter will be appreciated and a leading commission man suggests that instead application be made for release of charges on delayed stock as more likely to profit the growers and get good service in the future. The Benthey-Coatsworth Co. has had as much trouble as anyone, as the bulk of ■ .rT'-;j-r;".fc.> 1450 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Max 4, 1905.

IF YOU DID NOT RECEIVE OUR PRICE LIST DROP US A POSTAL. POEHLMANN BROS. CO. Wholesale Growers and Shippers of CUT FLOWERS, 33-35-37 Randolph Street, ^CHICAGO. A. F. Barbe reports business as very good and his Easter trade eTerything that could be desired. The growers are complaining that it is almost impossible to procure pots enough to care for their stock, and are wishing that some good pottery would locate here, where a large business would be assured. We understand that one of our leading seedsmen is about to embark in the re- tail flower business and is making ar- rangements to remodel his store, pre- paratory to the fall trade. Nabcissus. ONCINNATL Tlie Market For so soon after a holiday, trade is unusually good. There is a lively de- mand for all kinds and grades of stock and at good prices. The market keeps cleared out well and there are very few left-overs each day. Business is ahead of last year for this time. Lilies took a big drop; $6 to $7 per hundred will buy them now and they do not go well at that. There are great quantities of them on the market. Bul- bous stock is about done for this season. What little comes in is pretty poor, mostly Easter left-overs. Carnations are good and there are none too many of them. Boses are coming pretty strong, especially Brides and Maids. They are of fairly good quality. Beauties are! in good crop and the quality is first-class, especially the long-stemmed ones. They sell well. Smilaz is scarce and so is asparagus. There are plenty of fancy ferns and leucothoe sprays. Adiantiun is plentiful and sells slowly. Varioas Notes. The next regular meeting of the Flo- rists' Society will be held May 13, when a good attendance is expected. John Bower, formerly engaged in th«^ florist business in Hillsboro, 0., but now in the printing business in New York City, was a visitor. H. D. Edwards, of Newport, Ky., who has been very sick, is slowly re- covering. The opening of May-Stern's new fur- niture house called for a larg« quantity of flowers, the greater part being sup- plied by Julius Baer and Fred G«ar. C. J. Ohmes. BALTIMORE, MD. Easter Trade On all sides gratification over the Eas- ter results is heard. Few complaints arc made, either by wholesale or retail deal- ers. Plant and cut flower trade increased equally. Some of the stores had a few plants left unsold but they amounted to very little considering the quantity handled. In fact, most reports are that everything sold out and more could have been handled. Carnations were not as plentiful as had been expected and many more could have been sold. There was a good supply of roses, with plenty of short stock left over. Callas were short in supply but there were enough Harrisii to meet all demands. A note in a daily paper that violets would be practically over and sweet peas would be the flower for this Easter created quite a demand, although there wer^ thousands of violets, shipped here from out of town, retailed at $3 per hundred, and more could have been sold. Very few cut hyacinths and tulips made their appearance but what did show up found ready sales. Good smilax was scarce but there was plenty of asparagus of both kinds. More strings were shipped in than could be handled and some went to waste. Business since Easter has been keeping up very well, with plenty of social ac- tivity and a number of weddings, caus- ins;,^^ood demand for all kinds of fine cut-KOck, of which there has not been an oversupply, in fact some days a big shortage. A. F. CROMWELL, CONN. Death of Frank A. Pieraon. Prank A. Pierson died on Saturday evening, April 29, after a week's illness with cerebro-spinal "meningitis. He was a son of A. N. Pierson and popular with all. Several years ago he set up in business for himself and had built up a prosperous place. YouNGSTOWN, O.— Walker & McLean have largely increased their trade in the past two years. They had the largest stock at Easter ever seen in this city and did a big business. Funeral work is heaoFy right along. .T./>;^:;v:'.v; •:.■'! V*;-" ■•■^•''v , A.v Mat 4, 1005.

I Something New Now that the season for Wild Smllax is over and no more stock can be supplied, I wish to call your attention to the BranchesoftheHackleberryTree as a most elegfant Decorative Green. It is largely used by the Florists of the Pacific Coast, WasbLig- ton and Oregon in decorations. The branches are FLAT, very thickly furnished with exceedingly lustrous, green leaves and it seems to adapt itself to almost any position in decoration that the Wild Smilax can be used in. As the introducer of Southern Wild Smilax, I think you can give me credit for knowing a good thing when I see it, and I am convinced that in Huckleberry Branches you will have a very beauti- ful substitute for the Wild Smilax, of great value to you through the months of May and June. I am anxious to get the verdict of the Floral Trade on this introduction and offer to send you a Case on Suspicion, price $2.50 per case if it suits you, nothing if it does not.

Variotis Comment. The opinion expressed last week as to Easter business is more than confirmed by later news. All were satisfied and rejoice that for once we had fine weather for deliveries, so important a part of the business, Eeal good lilies were rather scarce and that is why many pro- nounced it the flower in greatest de- mand. W. J. Palmer & Son engaged a large covered automobile or two and got out their immense stock in good shape. One Main street florist who is always to the front in advertising and enterprise, used four or possibly five wagons, but to im- press the public with the enormity of his business had them labeled No. 5, No. 9, No. 11, No. 15. At any rate there was a No. 15. It looks big and hurts no one and shows a sharp, cute business tact of a kind. There has not for many years been a longer or better season for outside work, tree and shrub planting, etc. From the middle of March to date it has been fa- vorable for transplanting and a great deal of that sort of work has been done. George McClure has a very large force at work and took a flying visit to New York and Philadelphia last week, look- ing up the nursery firms. Since Easter business has kept up very satisfactorily, with weddings and social affairs, but we must have something dif- ferent from overcoats and snow flurries to make the plantsmen busy. Our city fathers have once more cut down the amount appropriated for the maintenance of parks to such starva- tion dimensions that they cannot bei properly cared for. What a reflection on our twentieth century civilization that such vast sums are needed for the police and such paltry amounts for beau- tifying our city. It surely won't always be so. Fortunately we have Jam«(s Braik in the north parks and Prof. Cowell at South park, who make the best use they can of the means at hand. I am glad to announce that J. J.

Noth- ing will be spared to make them the most up-to-date in every item that horti- cultural architecture can devise. Charlie Sandiford has done wonders in his pres- ent small houses. Now with treble the glass what shall we see? Here is a fortunate situation. A gentleman who loves the beautiful, and pays handsomely for it, and a gardener who does so well that his work and his products are a con- tinual delight to the man who thinks the beautiful in art and flowers is an essential of life. W. S. TAUNTON, MASS. Easter trade was fully up to last year's average, if not ahead of it. Easter lilies were in best demand. Williams & Wil- lard, of the Taunton Greetihouses, sold several thousand plants and had to buy to fill late orders. Azaleas were scarce, owing to the lateness of the season. Genistas, deutzias, marguerites, etc., sold well, also quantities of bulbous stock in pans. In fact, all well grown plants were readily cleared out. Every year the demand is more and more for pot plants and not half the cut flowers are sold as in previous years. This is partly due to the local growers themselves, who have no object in push- ing the sale of cut flowers when they have quantities of well grown plants for disposal. Carnations were, as usual, the best sellers in cut flowers, roses, valley, violets, bulbous stock, callas, etc., all being in some request. A great many more carnations could have been sold, but the growers state that high prices asked by the wholesalers prevented them from handling more. Kve dollars was asked for anything in colors, which, with the possibility of getting poor stock, de- terred them from buying. C. 'WJ?'-i~!i' ■ May 4, 1905. The Weekly Florists' Review.

The prize was for the best two plants of calceolaria. There was quite a keen contest but after consider- able deliberation the judges awarded the prize to Wm. Scott. Only a short busi- ness ssssion was held, to allow the mem- bers present to - attend the lecture given by Professor Geo. T. Powell in the lecture room of ths high school. This was held under the auspices of the society and was open to the public. Professor Powell gave a very instruc- tive lecture, his subjects being the pro- pagation of trees and the culture of roses. A number of excellent drawings were used for illustration. On the subject of trees he dwelt chiefly on the fruiting kinds and spoke mainly on the careful selection of stock, illustrating very clearly the ad- vantage of healthy parentage by showing the free growing and free fruiting quali- ties of plants taken from such in compari- son with plants propagated from unheal- thy trees or trees of undesirable habit. In that part of his lecture devoted to roses he gave a lengthy description of soils. He advised against a very general mistake in the planting of roses, that of planting too shallow, considering it ad- visable to plant grafted roses so that the graft would be at least three inches be- low the surface of the soil. In conclu- sion he gave some advice regarding the destruction of San Jose scale and strong- ly advised concerted action in fighting it. DENVER. Easter Trade. Reports on Easter business average from ten to twenty per cent better than last year. Saturday was the only really pleasant day of the week, and was an extra busy one in consequence. On Sun- day nearly two inches of rain fell, finally turning into snow. Church decorations were better than usual. At St. Leo's a notable feature was a cross nine feet high, formed of lilies and electric lights, done by Chapman. At the chapter house of St. John's Cathedral and at the Cen- tral Christian church lilies were used in large numbers. There is promise of the usual post-Lenten weddings, but no likelihood of any exceptional decorations. All kinds of blooming plants sold well, the popular prices being $1 and $1.50 per plant for lilies and $1 to $3 on other plants. There was a good supply of more expensive plants for the few wealthy patrons. Azaleas were in good condition and sold fairly well, at prices ranging from $2 to $7.50. White azaleas were a drug but Van der Cruyssen sold well.- Hydrangeas moved freely, the lar^ ones retailing at from $5 to $15. The double tulip was a good seller, es- pecially Murillo, in pans of one and two dozen, bringing from $1 to $3. Among the novelties we noticed at the Park Floral Co.'s the Colorado coliun- bine, also some Chinese wistaria in pur- ple and white, which made a remarkably attractive display. In the way of cut flowers, almost every kind were in demand, carnations having first call, followed by American Beauties and violets. Carnations were of good quality and sold at 75 cents to $1.50 per dozen. Prosperity and Enchantress were perhaps the most sought after. Beauties were not equal to the demand, but were or*fine quality and sold at from $3 to $10 per dozen. Violets were com- paratively scarce and not up to the usual standard, owing to the warm weather. They retailed at $2 per hundred. The delivery question seemed to be a hard nut for some of the retailers to crack, and it is one of the most import- ant at any holiday. The Park Floral Co., we noticed, made the delivery of their cut flowers Easter morning with an automobile, thereby giving all those who desired a chance to have their violets and other flowers for church service. Various Notes. N. A. Benson is cutting some fine Pros- perity and Enchantress at present. The Scott Floral Co. had an annex store ^t 925 Sixteenth street for the Easter trade. The Alpha Floral Co. also had an extra store on Fifteenth street. Two opposing teams from The Park Floral Co. bowled a series of three games for a dinner at the Brown Palace Hotel on April 28, J. A. Valentine and B. E. Gillis vs. G. H. Cooper and E. S. Ken- nedy. Mr. Valentine's team, with a handicap of ninety pins, finallv won out. E. S. K. U66 The Weekly Florists' Review. Vay 4, 1005.

The tSth annual convention will b< held at Weat Baden. Ind., June, 1906. The nursery interests are profiting by the prolonged planting season. J. J. Harrison, president of the Storrs & Harrison Co., has been in Florida with his family for some weeks. The Peterson Nursery, Chicago, moved its down-town office to the Stock Exchange building. La Salle and Wash- ington streets. May 1. On April 21, the Storrs & Harrison Co., Painesville, 0., had shipped over 150 cars, a record exceeding that of any previous season at the same date. John Lewis Childs, of Floral Park, N. Y., has bought the Paradise Nur- series of Adolph Scharflf at South Pasa- dena, Cal. Mr. Scharflf has been in the business for years and will now retire. The Association of American Ceme- tery Superintendents, the members of which are large buyers of nursery stock, will hold its annual convention at Wash- ington, D. C, September 19 to 22. Geo. E. Kessler, who was in charge of the landscape department at the St. Louis World's Fair, is now a member of the Kansas City park board. J. H. Had- kinson, superintendent of floriculture, is at Lincoln, Neb., at the State Fair grounds. Chief Taylor, of the Horti- cultural Department, is in Europe. At Webster City, la., an agent for the Watrous concern, at Des Moines, took an order for $35 worth of nursery stock from a Dr. Mahood, who in turn did dentistry for the agent to the amount of $25, taking the agent's receipt for the amount as part payment on the shrubs. On delivery the receipt was repudiated and the dentist has brought suit against Watrous to secure its recognition. The Illinois Central Bailroad has en- gaged Mrs. A. E. McCrea of Chicago to go over all the lines of the company be- tween Chicago, Sioux City, Omaha, St. Louis and New Orleans to plan and exe- cute effects in landscape gardening on station grounds. Every important sta- tion along the lines of the company will receive attention. Flowers, trees and shrubs will be planted to get the best eflFects. Much attention will be given to lawns, and the color scheme for buildings will be gradually changed, the idea being to make the system pleasing to travelers and residents of the different towns and cities. The work will be under the di- rection of Vice-President J. T. Hara- han. NURSERYMEN'S PROGRAM. Harlan P. Kelsey. chairman of the program coniinittpe of the American As- sociation of Nurserymen, sends out the following changes for the program as published in last week's Review. Under Wednesday morning, June 14, 10 o'clock, change "Welcome to Indi- ana," Hon. Jesse Overstreet, Indiana. Add "Welcome to West Baden Springs," Andrew J. Rhodes, Indiana, 15 minutes. Also notice that under Thursday even- ing, 7.45 o'clock, the entire statement re- garding the executive session is to be eliminated, as the United States De- partment of Agriculture has given per- mission that Prof. Hedgcock's lecture be made without restrictions of any kind, so please cut out that entire paragraph from the program, leaving the lecture under the same conditions as the other lectures on the program. . BEST STREET TREES. In the annual report of the park com- missioners of the city of Lowell, Mass., City Forester C. A. Whittet gives the following list of recommended street trees, stating that "they are named in the order c^ their desirability, although in some instances their preferment ,is somewhat a matter of taste : ' ' Wide Streets. American Elm Hard Maple Tulip Tree Linden Horse Chestnut Sweet Gum Sycamore White Ash Scarlet Oak Red Oak White Oak Honey Locust American Chestnut Narrow Streets. Norway Maple White Maple Red Maple AUanthus Cucumber Tree Ginkgo Bay Willow Pin Oak Red Vl'g Horse Chestnut Black or Yellow Locust Hackberry Hardy Catalpa Lombardy Poplar* Y^etable Forcing. The London health department has (iiscovered that much typhoid fever is caused by eating watercress grown in polluted outdi«or beds. Near London gardeners have had the greatest diflBculty in growing parsley, as the fully grown leaves are destroyed by a whitish mold. This disease spreads rapidly and for some years, with the re- sult that in some places parsley can only be grown under glass. On exami- nation of diseased leaves it was found that the injury was caused by a parasitic fungus, Plasmopara nivea, Unger, which produces its spores and spreads in the same way as the fungus which causes damping-ofif in the seed bed. — Gardeners' Chronicle. VEGETABLE MARKETS. Chicago, May 3. — The market has been very erratic thia week in conse- quence of express shipments being tied up by strike. Today head lettuce is $6 per bbl. ; leaf lettuce, 25c. case; cu- cumbers, 35c. to $1 doz. New York, May 1. — Cucumbers, 30c to 85c doz.; lettuce, 15c to 50c doz.; mushrooms, 30c to 60c lb.; radishes, $1 to $2 per 100 bunches; tomatoes, 10c to 25c lb. Boston, May 1. — Cucumbers, $2 to $5 box; tomatoes, 30c lb.; lettuce, $1.25 to $1.50 box of three doz.; beets, $1.50 doz. bunches ; radishes, 25c doz. bunches ; carrots, $1.25 doz. bunches; parsley, $2 bu. FUNGUS CAUSES LOSS. Attention is often called to two very common diseases which greatly trouble tomato and cucumber growers in Eng- land. The leaves of the tomatoes show brownish spots and dry up, and dark olive-green velvety patches appear on the fruit, rendering them unfit for sale. Thia is due to an attack of the parasite Glad- osporium fulvum of Cooke. The cucum- ber leaves are covered with dry spots, which increase, killing foliage and even the young fruits. This is caused by an- other parasitic fungus, Cercospora me- lonis, of Cooke. A cucumber and to- mato grower near London, who was se- verely troubled with this disease year after year, calculated his loss at £3,000 each season. — Gardeners' Chronicle. SAVING SEED OF TOMATOES. In nearly all classes of plants that are regularly propagated from seed a great deal can be done toward the improve- ment of the strain by the careful selec- tion of seed. The importance of this matter will at once appeal to the man who forces vegetables as soon as he gets his thinking cap on and begins to con- sider the matter carefully, as so much depends on the variety or strain of the variety that he is using. It is a great waste of time, energy and money to at- tempt to force a variety unsuitable for forcing; that is, a variety that won't adapt itself to the artificial conditions under which it has to be grown. On the other hand the better adapted the variety is for the purpose in hand, the more profit there is in the growing of it. New varieties are annually being placed on the market and it is a good plan to try some of them, but to a limited extent only. In tomatoes quite a number of new varieties have been in- troduced in recent years, all cracked up as improvements over existing varieties. Some have done fairly well; others have been rather disappointing. Our experi- ence is that none of the newer aspirants can beat the old Lorillard variety when a good strain has been secured and that a good strain can only be secured by careful selection. You can depend upon getting the variety true in most cases if you are dealing with a reliable seed house, but the seed is apt to be saved from all sorts and sizes of fruit, as the seed grower can hardly be expected to make the most careful selection in re- gard to the size and shape of the fruit from which he saves his seed, nor to make a critical examination of the growth or habit of the individual plants. In almost any batch of plants raised from seed there will be more or less va- riation. Sometimes the variation is only slight, but the man who has his eyes open can readily pick out the plants that show some improvement, either in habit of growth, freedom of setting, in size, shape or solidity of fruit, or in earliness of ripening, and by being care- ful to pollinate the flowers of the plant with its own pollen only, a majority of the seedlings resulting will in all prob- ability show the characteristics of the parent plant. Even if no variation ap- pears, by the selection of well-shaped fruit alone the strain can be considerably improved. In any case it takes time and patience, as it is only by slow stages, not by leaps and bounds, that the de- sired end can be attained. W. S. Crotdon. HARDENING OFF. The gradual hardening off of tender plants, such as tomatoes, egg plants and peppers, is a matter that should receive jnore attention than it usually does.

For this work the cold frame plays a very important part. In the frames the plants can be kept rather close for the first few days after being taken from the greenhouse. According as they get hard- ened to it, the air can be gradually in- creased, at first through the day and later by leaving on air at night, until the plants can be left entirely uncov- ered. If fully exposed for a week previous to the time of setting out, there will be very little chance of the plants receiv- ing any check at planting. On the other hand, if they are taken out of the warm greenhouse, where; they are sure to be more or less soft, and exposed at once to the outdoor atmosphere or set out before proper hardening off, a check is sure to occur from which it will take the plants some time to recover. Es- pecially is this the case with egg plants, it takes them so long to recover lost vigor. Tomatoes do not suffer quite as much, though careless treatment would give; them a considerable set-back and make the plants look sickly for some time. It sometimes happens that the weather is warm enough through the greater part of the month of May that all this precau- tion is unnecessary, as the plants would not suffer much if set outdoors at once in sheltered situations, but, as we can- not read the signs of the weather ahead of time, nor tell when sudden fluctuations of temperature may occur, it is always best to be on the safe side and have the plants where they can be readily covered up on the arrival of a cold snap. If it is not convenient to use frames for this purpose, some other means should be devised whereby protection can be given. A rough framework with some sort of movable covering will answer the purpose; even cheesecloth if nothing stronger can be provided, will keep out a good deal of cold, and unless the frost is all the heavier is usuaJly sufficient to protect any of this class of plants, after the middle of May at least. W. S. Croydon. Terre Haute, Ind. — Ed. Cowan says the business is growing steadily with all the florists here, demand increasing steadily. BocKFORD, III. — H. W. Buckbee had a few Baby llamblers for Easter and found them popular. He will work up a very large stock for next season. The Bureau of Plant Industry, U. S. Department of Agriculture, has issued Farmers' Bulletin No. 218, entitled "The School Garden," by L. C. Cor- bett and containing much matter of interest to florists, particularly to begin- ners in the business. FINE DORMANT 2-year Field-Grown Stock. Hardy Ro»es— Gen Jacqueminot.

Ludemann is starting on a trip to Europe, expect- ing to be absent about three months. The Hebald, of Oakland, Cal., de- Totes a column to "exposing" the green carnation and gives the articlef the head "Foolish Florists Fully Fool Flower Fanciers." San Jose, Cal. — It was in 1882 that £. H. Bourguignon started in business. He now has one of the largest ranges of glass in Southern California, growing roses, carnations, violets and other stock, besides much outdoor stock. San Francisco, Cal. — Frank Shibe- ley has called the attention of the Board of Health to the green carnations, alleging that the dye used for coloring is poisonous. The Board ordered a warning to be given the public regard- ing coloring of pinks and notices will also be sent to various dealers to cease using the alleged poisonous dye. PORTLAND, ORE. We believe it is safe to say that Eas- ter trade compared well with most other years; at least we have not seen any- one to contradict the statement. It might have been some better or much •worse. The lateness of Easter and the almost tropical heat kept us guessing aa to what the outcome would be. The sea- sons seem to be twisted and spring and summer are still doing battle for supremacy. The plant market was de- cidedly limited and the lily carried off all honors. Not a diseased plant was seen and thousands were sold. Cut flow- ers showed up plentifully at the end of the week, but failed badly on Sunday when the mercury rose to within five de- grees of the hottest day last summer. Tlie only available outdoor flowers havlniJ a commercial value was the Narcissus poeticus, and they have defied Old Sol like an Indian. Ordinary prices pre- vailed except for the choicest carnations, which were inclined to be scarce. Generally speaking, business averaged as good as could be expected under the existing conditions. It was a "hot time" Easter, and from a financial standpoint the milliners undoubtedly had the best of it, for the ladies were out with their new hats and carrying large bunches of Scotch broom, lilac and dog wood, which adorn our beautiful heights, the paradise of all lovers of nature, especially in the spring time. The Lewis and Clark Fair was well patronized, too, and 10,000 people paid admission to the grounds on Easter Sun- day. H. J. M. SAN FRANCISCO. The Market Business has taken a decided drop since Easter. We are" being treated to a season of real California spring weather and the present influx of all sorts of stock is as heavy as I have ever seen. The growers have made an effort to keep the prices firm, and did so up to Easter, but since then they have gone to smash. Business for Easter was fair but not as good as most of the retailers anticipated. The growers held the prices of lilies in pots up to a good figure until within three days of Easter, when lilies that had sold at $9 per dozen could easily be purchased at $6 and even less. For the reason that this has been such a favor- able season, out of town shipping orders have been light. I think it is safe to say that Easter business on the whole was twenty per cent less than that of last year. Various Notes. John Vallance, of the Cox Seed Co., is on a month's tour of the northern por- tion of the state. John Young, of Berkeley, had splendid success with his crop of Easter lilies. He had them all engaged two weeks be- fore Easter. It is to be hoped the retailers will in- terest themselves in the efforts of the growers to check the tendency of Japan- ese firms to grow stock and that the meeting tailed for next week will be well attended. Miss Wallenberg, the successor of Miss Fescheimer, on Sutter street, reports a very heavy Easter trade. The Board of Supervisors has made a map of the city streets and published a list of th€ sidewalks upon which the basket men may peddle flowers. The Pacific Coast Horticultural So- ciety held its fourth annual exhibition in connection with the big nature show of the Forest, Fish and Game Associa- tion at the Mechanics' Pavilion. This exhibition is usually held in the Ferry nave, but was transferred in order to make an added attraction to the already great show.

We have had such a favorable grow- ing season during the past six months that the usually large production of noxious weeds has been more than doubled and the growers who cultivate outdoor stock have had a hard time to find anything except tremendous growths of all kinds of troublesome and danger- ous weeds. Since the warm weather early in the year, we have had a suc- cession of showers every few days and not only has it been almost impossible to get on the ground to cultivate but when the weeds were hoed down they almost immediately took root and in a couple of weeks were as big as before. It is during such seasons as this that young asters, cosmos, stocks, bachelors' buttons and other hardy stock must be carefully watched or they will be com- pletely crowded out by these pests and, unless they are cleaned out every couple of weeks, they speedily weaken the plants intended to be grown. I have referred above to the various wild grasses, mustard, etc., which are much easier eradicated than the worst of all California pests, the wild morning glory. Convolvulus arvensis. We have another variety that is indigenous to our southern country, C. occidentalis. Of the two I do not know which is the worse. We have in this state many thousands of acres that at one time were cultivated with profit until the miserable morning glory took hold and it became absolutely valueless for ordi- nary vegetable or flower growing. It is within the past fifteen years that it seems to have taken such a hold in this locality and its eradication has proven more than many a grower could ac- complish, and he simply gave up in dis- gust and changed his location. A peculiar thing I have noticed is that it always prefers good ground and is rare- ly found in any quantity where the soil is naturally poor. It is possible to get rid of it, as I have demonstrated, but it cannot be accomplished in less than two seasons and possibly three. I have cleared completely several acres that had been abandoned. My method of procedure was as follows: The morning glory being a deep rooted perennial, lays dormant during the cold season and early in March begins to send out shoots. With the beginning of warmer weather in April its growth be- comes wonderful and at this time I had the ground thoroughly hoed and the tops completely cnt off just below the soil. I repeated this every two weeks until about the end of September, when they no longer sprouted out. Again the following spring it com- menced to branch but it was very plain that it had received a great check, as the stems were not near as heavy nor of such rapid growth. I continued as before, every two weeks, and by the end of the summer very little morning glory was to be seen. The following spring only a few slender shoots showed them- selves and they did not appear again after the third or fourth hoeine. In this strenuous way I reclaimed, although at a considerable cost, several acres of the best land I have ever handled. G. 1470 The Weekly Florists' Review. May 4, 1905. CARNATIONS, Rooted Cuttings.

PETER REINBERG, Teliphoos 2846 Centril. 51 WABASH AVE., CHICAGO Mention The Review when you write. PITTSBURG. The Market The week following Easter has been very satisfactory. The numerous wed- dings, with the regular business, made things quite lively among the stores, al- though the market men complained some until Saturday, when the May day trade from churches cleaned them up in good shape. Of course there was quite a drop in prices, but that is to be expected and the dealers will make that up by the increased volume of trade which usually comes with the lower prices. Various Notes. Randolph & McClements report last week as a busier week than Easter, their whole force being compelled to work several nights to get through. Theo. F. Beckert continues to send the Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. quantities of his fine Spanish iris. Wm. Lauch is consigning the same firm a large cut of very fine carnations. Yellow narcissi are in bloom outside, but there is not much sale for them at any price. The usual spring shortage of smilax is being felt in this market. The wonder is someone docs not arrange for a spring crop. Wm. Falconer is the busiest man in this .section. Besides the regular spring work, that is immense, he is planting large lots of trees and shrubbery, laying out new roads and changing many of the old ones, and in fact is working out a general transformation of Allegheny cemetery. With the natural lay of the land under his masterly hand, we predict it will soon he one of the handsomest cemeteries in the country. Some of our growers are busy planting carnations, but one of them got asters out before the big hail storm and will not cut from that lot this season. Geddis & Blind Bros, have received a large importation of palms and bay trees which unpacked very nicely. The bulb men who are still working in this territory are compelled to offer inducements in order to make sales, as it is doubtful if any of the growers made any money out of the bulbs this season.

U72 The Weekly Florists^ Review* ^. AY 4, 1005. HAGERSTOWN, MD. Glorious weather, the kind that ' ' coaxes the muse and drives the quill" of the spring poet is responsible for the brisk sales of beading plants. No sooner was the Easter rush over than spring trade followed in its wake in a manner that leaves no ground for disappointment. Henry A. Bester has cleared ground for the erection of three additional rose bouses, each 25x60 feet. It is Mr. Hes- ter's intention to plant more carnations than heretofore, the increased demand during the past season necessitating the increase in glass. Wm. Bester will build a violet house to cover 20x60. A deal has been recently consummated whereby Mr. Bester acquired a lot, ice house, stable, etc., immediately adjoining his property. This deal, aside from the value of tha land itself, offers its special advantages to Mr. Bester, in- asmuch as it insures his own place against the intrusion of undesirable neighbors, and his greenhouses against the close proximity of a dwelling house that might prove a menace to the pro- duction of flowers. Ex-Mayor Henry Holzapfel has his hands full between his active interests in an automobile factory and his green- houses. However, he possesses the happy faculty of accomplishing an immense amount of work without apparent hurry or worry. His experience in the horti- cultural department at the Columbian Exposition in Chicago and more recently in municipal affairs in his own city has taught him the lesson of systematizing things. Mr. Holzapfel will make some im- provements about his place, chief of which will be the replacing of the old boilers by more modern ones and of larger heating capacity. X. GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. The result of weather conditions was a shortened crop at Easter and good prices. While most of the bulb crop was over, there were plenty of pans to be scfen at the stores and they sold out clean, as did the shortened crap of azaleas. There was a big lot of liles, yet before noon on Saturday three of the stores were sold out, and trying to buy more lilies. Crabb & Hunter shipped large quantities to Chicago and else- where as pot plants. Cross was in fine with Eamblers and hybrid perpetual roses in full bloom, most of which were shipped. Henry Smith had several extra delivery rigs out, and the Grand Bapids Floral Co. made things hustle with their auto delivery, the only one among the florists. Carnations, while in good supply, were not sufficient to meet the demand, while roses did not sell near as well, and lota were left over. A sad event was the death of Nicholas Freyling, who had suffered so long from cancer of the stomach. The Florists' Club sent a large wreath made by Chas. Chadwick. All the florists who could at- tended the funeral. Eli Cross has a new house 300 feet long, which he has planted to radishes and cucumbers. There is talk of trying to take some united action with the Fruit Growers' Association, to try and induce the ex- press companies to handle cut flower and plant shipments more carefully. The complaints of shipments smashed is sad to relate. G. F. C. becaoM your order for 2,000 FianoM was filled irith only 600 late rooted cnttlDgi ?"

It is "an ill wind which blows nobody good" and the strike of express drivers which has interfered with business in Chicago has had the result of largely in- creasing the demands upon this market. A great many buyers in the northwest who get their regular supplies in Chi- cago and only call upon this market in exceptional cases have sent orders here regularly in the past week and the in- creased detnand is such that it has cleaned up all stock readily. At the same time there have been increased re- ceipts, because growers were informed of the diflBculty in getting incoming ship- ments through the picket lines in Chi- cago. The result has been that we have had one of the liveliest of recent weeks and could have handled even more stock to advantage. There are good receipts of carnations, but rose crops seem to be pretty well off. READING, PA. The mild, balmy weather of the past few days will in all likelihood hasten the planting of carnations in the field. Some growers have already commenced the work. Easter trade was the best in years, surpassing last year's by at least twen- ty-five per cent. Spring trade is de- cidedly promising and the florists seem well equipped to meet all demands. noskin & Giles seem to experience no "let up," being more than ordinarily busy with funeral and decoration work. J. 0. Bauder, who succeeded Mr. Beers about two years ago, is well sat- isfied with the results of his undertak- ing. Since assuming charge of the place he has practically doubled tfie volume of business. Irwin Anderson, located near the largest cemetery in tue city, reports a good trade all along the line. Mr. An- derson, although an eastern man, has spent a good many years in the west, having been connected in one capacity or another, with some prominent flo- rists' establishments, both east and west. His experience as a grower is thorough, and his venture therefore seems an as- sured success. Mr. Hoskin, of Hoskin & Giles, who has been seriously ill for the past three weeks, died on April 29. X. EocK Island, III. — H, H. Hensley, of the Eock Island Floral Co., says that Easter trade was first class and that they sold everything they had in both plants and cut flowers.

TBBZB TWO OBAVB BBW 0ABVATIOV8 MY MARYLAND and JESSICA MY MARYLAND is already well and favorably known, having been exhibited freely at the various flower shows and florist club meetings the past fall and winter, and In every case elicited the highest praise and most favorable comment. We pick this variety to quickly and easily displace all other whites for first honors, not alone in exhibition, but in commercial points as well. We claim for It a robustness of constitution quite unequaled In any other variety and an ease of culture that will delight the heart of the grower. The great Tlgor of both parents (Norway x Lawson) seems united and Improved upon in this variety. In JB5SICA we have, in the red and white variegated class, what My Maryland will prove among white. It is descended through several generations of variegated seedlings of Helen Keller and Bradt extraction on the one side and Lawson on the other. A strong, thrifty growing variegated seedling bearing the seed. It is a trifle heavier in growth than My Maryland and Just Lawson height. Aside from these differences and the color, the de- scription of My Maryland applies to Je«>cla. Under favorable conditions four-Inch blooms are not uncommon. We pick Jesaica to win over any other variegated varltty. Both of the above are free propagators. We are thoroughly familiar with them and know what they will do. We will be In a position to deliver stock early and on time, and assure the trade that no disappointments will result on that score. We have already booked many orders. It pays to be early. Orders bookad are subject to cancellation by the buyer If unsatisfied with either variety up to the time the cuttings are received. Price — •2.80 per doz.; 81«,00 per 100; SIOO.OO per 1000.

' ' The best Easter in years ' ' is the re- port heard on all sides. J. T. Horn & Bro. report a ' ' grand clean up. ' * Bloom- ing plants of all sorts sold exceptionally wel], Crimson Bamblers especially tak- ing like the proverbial hot cake. Lilies were in their prime and did not go "a begging. ' ' Nor was there a shortage of either roses or carnations. Ernst Ashley seems well pleased with the result of Easter week and looks for- ward to a profitable spring trade. J. F. Hdrn & Bro. never had things in finer condition, nor were they ever so well equipped to handle both their re- tail and wholesale trade as they are this season. While carnations are their spe- cialty, they also grow a general line of plants for their retail trade. Their mammoth establishment at Eittersville is well worth visiting. E. M. Kroninger's "fancies," such as Prosperity, Enchantress and Lawson, find ready sales both in the New York and Philadelphia markets notwithstand- ing the periodical gluts that enable the curbstone merchants to offer carnations for a mere song. A call on John E. Haines, of Beth- lehem, proved interesting indeed. His namesake, his own red seedling carnation, is a winner. Mr. Haines assures me that, aside from its being a high grade flower, it is likewise remarkably productive. BLUFFTON, IND. Easter trade was very good. Every- thing was cleaned up. Excessive funeral work made stock scarce and prices ruled high. Spring trade has opened fine. Myers & Co. have already sold over 60,000 cabbage plants. They have now 16,000 square feet of modern glass, with tile bottom benches for roses and carnations. They will house about 6,000 carnation plants for the coming sea- son, mostly red, white and pink Lawson, Enchantress, Harlowarden and Prosper- ity. Lawson has done exceedingly well with them and shows no tendency to- ward running out. It has been giving blooms three to three and one-half inches in diameter, with good si^s, color and substance. They select tfieir cuttings carefully, using blooming shoots only. They tried one solid bed for carnations, but do not think it was a success and will use cinders in the bottom next season. Carnations do not like wet feet all the time an^ solid benches do not dry out quick enough. Glekville, O. — Casper Aul is putting up a modern six-apartment brick flat building.

IMPATEENS OLIVIERL It is about a quarter of a century since the universally popular Impatieila Sultani was introduced from Zanzibar, and in the intervening time we have had numerous additions to the genus. I. Olivieri being on« of the latest. In habit and general particulars it is some- what like I. Sultani, but forms a large specimen, three feet or four feet high, with very succulent stems. The flowers, also in shape a good de'al like those of I. Sultani, are much larger, being nearly three inches across, and in color lilac- pink with a light center. Though it flowered for the first time at Kew two years ago, it is already pretty generally distributed. Of thef balsams incidentally mentioned above that have been intro- duced since I. Sultani, may be named several varieties of that species, par- ticularly carminea, salmonea, and Epi- scopi, whose rich carmine-purple! blos- s'bms caused specific rank to be claimed for it at first; I. auricoma, with yellow flowers; and I. Hawkeri, which made a great sensation twenty years ago, but has now almost dropped out of cultiva- tion. The flatly expanded blossoms of this are bright red, shot with purple. — Gardeners' Magazine. Peoria, III. — Cole Bros, had a big lot of Easter lilies in fine shape. Be- sides taking care of their local trade, they ship practically two car-loads of plants to St. Louis.

The florists in this city were probably as successful in holding stock back for Easter as any in the country, as the lilies, Dutch hyacinths, etc., were the finest shown in years. Everything sold well, including marguerites in 5-inch pots for church decorating, azaleas and roses in pots. The finest display ever shown here, and probably the most complete in the state, was at the Clark greenhouses which were sold last December to J. B. Braidwood, who is son-in-law of Wm. Clark and manager of his business for a number of years. Tbe old palm house which was used for years to accom- modate stock for decorating was clean- ed out, sash painted white, glass tinted light green and then arranged with odd shaped benches, each bench being stocked with some special plant and grouped in such a way that each played its own part in a general decorative scheme and made a most beautiful show. This place proved an attraction and drew large crowds every day during Easter week. A. C. Rott, who was in business for a number of years at Bloomington, Ind., is now in charge of the cut flower de- partment for Mr. Braidwood. The Pikes Peak Floral Co. and F. F. Crump both stocked up well on cut flowers and blooming plants, the for- mer having a nice lot of Eamblers in bloom which sold well. E. Neff. DES MOINES, lA, A great many Ponderosa lemons have been sold throughout the state and the daily newspapers have taken up the ques- tion as to who has produced the largest fruit, each in turn claiming the cham- pionship for its town. B. Kemper, of Muscatine, had a fruit weighing sixteen ounces which held the blue ribbon until a reporter for the Des Moines Capital discovered one in the greenhouses of the Iowa Seed Co., which weighed nineteen and a half ounces. They have a stock of 2,000 plants. Paikesville, O. — Otto Hacker has re- tired from the service of ths Storrs & Harrison Co. after being with the firm for fifty years.

One of our successful growers will this year take out 6.000 feet of wooden gutters, which are only 5 years old, and replace the same with 6,000 feet of the GARLAND IRON GUTTER, this being his fifth annual order.

A plant of Spiraea Qladstone and about a dozen sprays of pink stock, with some \\'ood ferns, constitute the^ decora- tion of the brown fiber basket shown in the accompanjing illustration. The long cluster of stock starts at the rim of the pot and follows the direction taken by the handle of the basket, and finishes just above the cross piece. This is an important point to remember in the dece- ration of any object. Let the fiowers, green or any other decorative material, conform to the shape of the object. Many branches and elaborations may be added, but the main trend of the decora- tion must start from some point on its surface and show its connection there- with from first to last. Where one spray of the stock ends and another begins need not appear. Let the heavier stems follow each other, wired here and there to the supporting handle, while the side sprays take care of themselves. Tollow- ing out this idea of keeping to the object decorated, one can see that if the top of this spray of stock should be allowed to fall out to the right of the top of the handle instead of turning in to the left, as it does, the result would be very awk- ward. On the opposite side three or four stalks take similar positions with a shorter effect. Light sprays and buds fall irregularly at the sides of the basket. It is easy to overdo a trimming of this kind to the extent of producing a top heavy appearance. "Just enough" should be the watchword. To know when to quit is as important as knowing where and how to begin. Someone might think that the flower of the stock used out of water in this way would scarcely keep long enough. But if the stems are well filled by stand- ing in water severaj hours, or over night, they will last well for a whole day. Now, a word as to that everlasting subject of coloring: The creamy white of the spiraea settles itself easily into the union with the brown of the basket, both having considerable yellow in their composition. The introduction of the light crimson pink of the stock is an easy blending and much closer than that of such a pink as is seen in Enchantress carnations, which is a scarlet pink. To display such a basket to advantage, plenty of space and a yellow or green background is best. Gertrude Blair. GAINING TRADE, The retail florist who sits down and waits for trade will lead a life of leisure, if not ease. If you want business, go after it; it won't come to you uninvited, not in tiese days of keen competition. A great many retail florists do not know fiuything of the power of advertising. They don't know how to go about gain- ing trade by any other than the slow method of building up patronage by do- ing the best they know how whenever they get an order. That's well enough in its way, and should always be made a part of any plan looking to more immediate results. Here is a method which has brought good results to the progressive florist who uses it: He is located in a small city where his store is on the principal street of out it has a small but attractive adver- tisement offering the same prices, like the one produced on th3 next page. But how can he make any money sell- ing good stock at those prices? He doesn't, at least not much. But he doesn 't sell many at those rates, although that's a little ahead of the story. He buys his stock in a wholesale market and pays from $1 to $1.50 per hundred on the carnations, $2 to $3 for the roses. When he pays the lower prices he sells for even less than the prices mentioned per dozen. When a customer enters he finds two vases of roses and two of car- nations on the counter; the other stock is in the ice box. One lot of roses has a tag showing the advertised price, the other, manifestly better goods, is marked at a higher price. It is the fiame with A Study in Brown, Cream and Pink. the town and he has the help of a lively little newspaper. He keeps up an at- tractive window and usually there is pasted on the glass a neat sign, "Car- nations, 20c dozen," or "Roses, 35c a dozen." When the weekly paper comes the carnations. Three customers out of five look at the flowers, appreciate the better quality — which the florist wisely refrains from pointing out — and buy the better goods. If there happens to be a run on the advertised grade and 1502 The Weekly Florists^ Review* May 11, 1905. the supply is exhausted the better stock is sorted over and the poorer flowers put in at the cheap price, even at a loss. No one who enters looking for the advertised flowers is ever disappointed. It is a plan worth experimenting with for anyone who does not feel that the "tone" of his establishment will be lowered by the offer of cheap prices. Of course, the advertised prices will de- pend on your location, quality of goods, character of the neighborhood, etc. BRITISH HAIL ASSCX:iATION. The greenhouse owners in Great Brit- ain are insured against loss from hail by an organization now in its eleventh year. Harry J. Veitch is chairman and, with the directors and secretary, has held office continuously since tlie inception of the concern. The income for the tenth year was in the vicinity of $15,000. The assets are now over $100,000 and the re- serve fund is $45,000. The association, like the American one, supplies a form of insurance not to be had elsewhere but, unlike the society which has done so well for greenhouse owners in the United States, this is a limited liability cor- poration and pays a profit to its share- holders, last year seven and one-half per cent. MISCELUNEOUS SEASONABLE HINTS. Various Kinds of Benches. The time will very soon be here for bench building and repairing and many are doubtless considering whether the old- fashioned, wooden table can be improved upon. If I could have the ideal bench for roses and carnations, and we may say also for plant benches, it would be of 4-inch socket tile filled with cement for legs, tee iron for cross pieces and hollow brick for the floor of the bed, with an edging of four or five inches of cement. Here would be a bench, if not everlasting, at least with unrottable material. Ex- pense, however, is of great consequence to most commercial men and to avoid the continual rotting out and renewing of wooden benches has driven many to adopt the solid or semi-solid bed. The very great majority of greenhouses are de- tached, or have a dividing partition, and without a good space of glass in both the front and back walls the low beds are not at all suitable; they must be raised. In the large blocks of houses with no partition walls between thsm and only perhaps a 2-ineh pipe supporting the gut- ters, the low beds get just as much light if the surface of the soil is one foot above the floor as if it is throe feet. But light, in our opinicn, is not the whole question, which we will come to directly. A Very Good Bench. A low wall of cement, say twelve inches high by three inches thick, and filled in with any material you have at hand, clinkers, ashes, stones or soil even with the top of the wall and then a floor of tile, with an edge of cement, must mako a most excellent bench. The surface of such a bench would be eighteen or nine- teen inches above the floor. In some large establishments, instead of the little cement wall, they lay up four bricks. It may look neater than cement and perhaps is as quickly built, but the brick is much more expensive and certainly not more durable. Others make a cement wall a foot or fifteen inches high and fill in with rubble stone up to the depth they want for soil. Now this six to eight inches of stone, or coarse gravel or clinkers, must afford perfect drainage for the roots and as for the air at the roots, which it is claimed the drain tiles or the hollow bricks afford, we can- not believe that it is an essential. At the same time the tiles also give a perfect drainage and such a bench is much more pleasant to clean out and shovel off than the stone, gravel or clinkers and, if it can be afforded, we much prefer the tiles for a floor. Some believe so strongly in the tiles or hollow bricks for the floors of benches that they build as if for an ordi- nary wooden bench, but instead of boards for the floor of the bench they use tiles. This takes considerably more cross-pieces to support the tiles, whether you run them lengthwise or across, and after all, the wood, if pine or hemlock, is going to rot after a time. Pecky Cypress.

In the construction of twenty houses w ithin fifteen years we have never seen in bare, ridge plate, gutters, or any other piece of cypress the smallest knot and up ■ to date see no sign of decay, even in the most abused places, like gutters. This clear cypress would be too expensive, but what is called "pecky" cypress is now largely used for benches. This quality would, of course, have some knots but is not unsound and, while few, if any, have used it for benches long enough to testify to its durability for that purpose, we believe it remains sound at least three times as long as the quickly rotting white pine or hemlock. The latter has about doubled in price within eight years, cost- ing now $20 per thousand feet, and this pecky cypress can be bought within $1 or 80 of that price. There is no question, if building a wooden bench, which you will use. Grculation of Air. Now I said earlier that light was not the whole question. The fullest light, we know, is a necessity for producing blooms in the dark days, but there is also, we think, a good deal to consider about the circulation of the heat or condition of the atmosphere in different parts of the house. In October and April, when air can be freely given, there may be lit- tle difference in the atmosphere of the house one foot from the floor or six feet, but it is between those months, when lit- tle ventilation is given and fire heat almost entirely depended on, that we think there is a purer, lighter atmosphere say five feet above the floor than there is one foot. I have previously had occasion to reiiiark on the great health and vigor that many plants show on a shelf very near the glass and that there were other influences at work besides perfect light and that circulation and pure air were found, and had much to do with the free ■ and robust growth of plants, near the roof. The same principle will apply to plants on the benches and, therefore, I think that every foot you rise from the floor the more genial and purer the air. If the surface of your bench is thirty inches above the floor the top of your plant, rose or carnation, is three feet six inches and soon it is another foot and, though it may cost more, we believe there will be found a great advantage even in the little difference between a bed thirty inches above the floor and one only a foot. The Right Height. I want to say as modestly as possible that we have tried every bench described, from six inches of good soil right on the ground up to a bench three feet high, and, what is of more value to me, is that the best roses we ever saw and by far the finest lot of carnations in the depth of wipter were on benches about thirty inches high. We are not going back to hemlock boards that will rot out in three years, but shall try the cypress. We do not attach any importance to the air space beneath the bench and will say, con- cluding this subject, that whether they be built of wood or of bricks or cement walls with tiles, keep them thirty inches above the floor. Distribution of Heat. It is quite true in connection with these benches that much depends on the plan by which the houses are piped. If the steam pipes are confined to the side walls, as they often are, then it is still more necessary that the benches or beds should not be too low, because the heat rises to the roof and the air near the i^\:7 Matt 11, 1905. The Weekly Florists' Review* J 503 floor in the center of the houBe will re- main stagnant. If the pipes are ar- ranged as they should be, namely, one or two at the side of each bench or bed and returning on the other side, then there is not only a much more effective radiation, but every part of the house gets heated and a circulation of air takes place. I feel sure, backed up by some experience, that four 1-inch steam pipes at intervals of four or five feet apart are fully equal to six 1-inch pipes bunched close together on a side wall. Use of Cement. If you should use cypress for benches, don't fail to use plenty of water lime (hydraulic cement). The expense is not worth considering. A barrel at 75 cents will go a long way. Use it pure and just thin enough so that it can be spread on the wood with a stiff whitewash brush. Where wood lies on wood is the place that rotting occurs. The tops of the cross-pieces should receive a heavy coat, as well as the surface of the boards. Some weeks ago I had occasion to say something in answer to a correspondent about concrete for cellar walls and floors. Now, making these low walls for the sides of benches is the same thing. They are much less expensive than brick. Sand in many locations is hardly worth con- sidering and cement good enough for this purpose is worth from 75 cents to $1 per barrel. You can use four parts of sand to one of cement and, when that is thor- oughly mixed (but be careful not to over- wet it) you can add as much crushed stone as you had of sand. This makes really one part of cement to eight of other materials, but you must remember that the stone has added to the bulk, has occupied space, but has not in the least weakened your concrete. The stone has absorbed no cement. It has only added to bulk. The smaller the wall, the finer the stone should be. If the wall is to be eight inches thick, stone as big as your fist can be used, but if only three or four inches thick then it should be smaller. The crushed stone I have in mind is that used by the asphalt pave- ment men. Concrete is daily growing in use in all structural work, and so it will in ours. These remarks may seem premature to many who are just "now driven to their utmost with the plant business, yet many also are pondering over beds or benches for roses and carnations. William Scott. THE USE OF SULPHUR. Dusting. This chemical is commonly known as flowers of sulphur, sublimed sulphur and brimstone. Sulphur is an element, and is remarkable for its abundant occur- rence in nature, in the uncombined state, and is found in combination with iron, as iron sulphide. In plants sul- phur is also found in thef form of sul- phates, and as a constituent of the vegetable albumen present in the sap. Sulphur is entirely volatile at a high temperature, but very slightly volatile at ordinary temperature'. It is insoluble in water, but soluble in carbon bisul- phide. Sulphur has been known to horticulturists from the beginning of the twelfth century, and has been used ex- tensively as a remedy against light fungoid diseases. It is used against mildew on vines, crops, strawberries Basket Arrangement by The Ernst Wienhoeber G>., Chicago. and greenhouse plants, by dusting or blowing by means of bellows over the leaves. The action of sulphur is very mild and slow, and is only suitable for applying to slight fungous attacks and can be conveniently replaced with ad- vantage by other more energetic fun- goids as the copper salts, etc. Sulphur l)eing non-poisonous is an advantage in its favor for applying to fruit crops. Vaporizing. The vapor of sulphur is very much more effective! than the powder itself, and this is now being taken advantage of by many growers. The gas evolved from burning sulphur is very harmful to plant life; great care must be taken when sulphur is being vaporized that it does not catch firef, as sulphur vapor is very inflammable. Sulphur when burnt with free access of air forms a chemical compound with the oxygen of the air, forming sulphur dioxide, and this com- pound as stated above affects the plants. The sulphur should be placed in a re- ceptacle which allows for no free access of air; the vessel must be capable of being heated to 836 degrees F., at this stage the sulphur boils and is converted into a brownish red, very heavy vapor, which, when disseminated into the air deposits minute microscopic particles of sulphur in every crevice and portion of the house which is being vaporized; the deposit of sulphur can hardly be per- ceived with the naked eye. This form of sulphur is the most powerful fungi- cide, and can also be recommended lor killing red spider. — Horticultural Trade Journal. HEATING IN THE SOUTH. I have a house 25x70 feet running north and south. Running east from it are two houses, one 21x110 and the other 20x75, the latter separated from each of the others by several f(;et. The boiler stands in a line with the long house but on the west side of the first house. There is about ten feet fall from east to west. There is no heat needed here, in Florida, while the sun is up, say from 8 a. m. to 5 p. m. The coldest is about 20 degrees above zero, the average about 32 degrees.

It may be stated, however, that steam will cost less to install in a large plant and will give better satis- faction on long runs than hot water, but will require more attention. The steam will have the added advantage of quick cooling when not required after sunrise. If the cost of a night fireman is not too great an item, I should say use steam; if this is a very considerable obstacle, then use hot water. The system of heat- ing used will depend somewhat on the character of the crop grown and the type of benches used. With solid benches on the soil, or such crops as lettuce and cucumbers, the heating can all be over- head. With some other crops it might be well to have a portion of the pipes be- neath the benches, if they are elevated. I should judge about twenty per cent of the normal piping used in a house in the north should be suflScient for your pur- pose in a climate so mild as that of Flor- ida. L. L. C. INDOOR SUMMER CULTURE. If you are going to grow part of your carnations in^ora all summer it will pay yoa well to get them planted just as soon as you can. The young plants will take hold much better before the weather is extremely hot and they will be better able to stand the heat later on. If the house has good ventilation they will grow luxuriantly all summer and come into bloom early in the fall. We handle only Mrs. Lawson this way and we consider it the proper way to handle that variety, although we shall try some in the field again. Good Law- sons are produced under both methods, so "you pays your money and takes your choice. ' ' One thing is certain; you must have good plants to start with and you must not neglect those intended for indoor culture while you are planting the rest in the field. W« try to at least plant them on the beds just as soon as we get through planting outside and sometimes we get a chance to do it before we finish outside. There are occasional rainy days when you cannot plant outside and that is when you should refill your benches in- tended for indoor culture. If there are enough rainy days you can plant them as well. There should be no shade whatever over these plants at any time. Plenty of ventilation and a mulch to prevent too rapid drying out is all that is needed. A. F, J. Baxib. MAKING A START. I am about to build two new houses for carnations. Having no houses in which to prepare the plants for next season, may I ask what course you would advise f Shall I get rooted cuttings or 2-inch pot plants? Would you pot the plants and plunge or plant in the open ground! I expect to be ready for plant- ing in the houses by August 1. S. C. T. By the time this appears in print most of the wholesale carnation growers will have the bulk of their young carnations in the field, but if you can find the va- rieties you want, and in the quantity you want, I would advise you to buy the young plants from pots now and plant them in your own ground. The advant- ages are all in favor of this plan, as against the plan of waiting until fall and buying field-grown plants. The cost will be far lets. You will be able to handle the young plants and care for them according to your own ideas during the summer and you can take them up as you need them in planting into the houses. I would not bother with rooted cuttings this late. You will be sure to lose a large percentage on account of the heat and, unless the season is exceed- ingly favorable, they will not make strong plants for early planting. I would plant them into the open ground in preference to potting and plunging. If you are going to use solid beds you could pot them into 3-inch pots and as soon as you can get the beds ready plant them into the beds and leave the glass off until early in September. If you are prepared to water them occa- sionally this plan will work to perfection. A good mulch would keep them from needing watering very often. I would not recommend this plan with raised benches, however, as they would dry out too rapidly. Three years ago we planted about 10,- 000 carnation plants on a spot where we intended building a house 45x175. We planted them in beds and left walks just as we intended to have in the house. During the summer we built the house over them, leaving the glazing until just before freezing. The plants were treated just the same as those in the field except that they were mulched in July to save cultivating. They grew well and pro- duced fine crops of high grade blooms and they were far ahead of the trans- planted stock up to January and just as good after that. This year we are work- ing the same plan with a house 30x355 and we look for just as good results. Perhaps the greatest advantage in this plan is that you need not rush through your building as you have all summer to finish, just so you get the glass on and a steam pipe or two connected by the time it turns cold in the fall. That extra six weeks gives you a chance to take care of your other work so much bet- ter, and nothing needs to suffer. All the work on that house was done by our regular help except to cut and erect the sash bars, etc. A, F. J. Baub. SEASONABLE NOTES. With the sudden and extreme fluctua- tions of temperature which we are likely to experience during the next month, the danger to young stock is multiplied and greater care should be exercised to pre- vent damage. The strong and arid winds which are frequent dry out the pots rapidly and make close observance in that respect a necessity. Keeping the paths wet and all empty spaces on the benches in the stock house watered just the same as if they were occupied by young stock, will help to keep the air moist and cool. Young stock should be set in regular rows on the benches after each picking over, so that watering and syringing may be possible. How often we see the plants in the stock house scattered over the benches in irregular groups or lying on their sides, suffering from want of water and becoming a prey to red spider, when an hour 's work would put them in a posi- tion so they could be properly cared for. As the weather gets warmer care should be taken that the young stock should never approach the condition of being pot-bound, as this is ruinous, es- pecially to Beauties. A careful exami- nation of the roots will be necessary at least once a week and when the plants require a shift they ought to be repotted at once or planted in the bench. As there is always more or less of a mixture of varieties, especially where Maids and Brides are concerned, it is a good plan to let at least one bud develop on each plant till it shows color, when any mixture can be detected and rele- gated to its proper place. If this work is properly attended to while the plants are in pots it saves a deal of trouble when propagating time comes around again, and it looks so much better to have our varieties clear of mixture and enables us to supply the stock our customers call for with the certainty that no complaint will come back on that account. Last season I was forced to purchase some thousands of Brides and Maids and specified the quantities of each. Well, I got the number of plants I ordered of each, but it would be a diflB.- lUx 11. 1900. \ The Weekly Florists' Review. J505 • 1 '-.S,- ■ ^ %^'\-;^-; House of a lew Rote Grown by A. S.

BiBES. ^" A WW ROSE. A. S. Swansw^- of 3t. Paul, is grow- ing a new rose wh%|hi"^r productiveness seems to be someibftag'^ilKeptional. The accompanying illustration nhows a house containing two benches planted with this variety, a total of about 450 plants in their second year. The photograph from which this Illustration was repro- duced was taken on April 13 and in the «lght days following 6,500 flowers were cut. The buds are formed in clusters and from five to ten on every shoot and for every flower cut at least five buds were removed. Mr. Swanson thinks this rose is a great thing for* Easter. The color is very closely that of La France. It comes with stiff stems, those of the first crop being somewhat short, from twelve to eighteen inches, but the next crop, com- ing about the first of June, gives stems thirty-six inches long. From the house shown in the picture 1,000 flowers had been cut in the end nearest the camera before the photograph was taken. In April, 1904, when the plants were in their first year, Mr. Swanson kept account of number of flowers cut. These totaled 3,060 for thirty days from 450 plants. He notices that the cut all comes within about two weeks. For the second year's growth the canes were bent down and some of them made as many as twenty good flowers each. The house has been inspected by many in the trade and no one thus far has ever seen anything like it. GERANIUMS. i should be pleased to see in the Be- viEW an article on the growing of ger- aniums for the wholesale trade, both rooted cuttings and plants. I am inter- ested in the wholesale plant trade and should very much appreciate some infor- mation from a practical, well-informed grower. S. C. These universal favorites, as well as easily grown plants, would more greatly be missed than any one plant from our gardens. They submit to many abuses and everybody has his own way of caring for his geraniums, but they must have light. Heat with poor light and exces- sive moisture would be the very worst conditions for a zonal geranium or any of the pelargonium fanSly. .Presuming that S. C. has reference to the zonal section, our ordinary bedding geraniums, then they will propagate any month in the year except perhaps June, July and August. In those months they would need keeping quite moist to pre- vent severe wilting and the tissue of the cuttings would get filled up with water and rot often sets in. Early in Septem- ber we take cuttings from outside and put into 2-inch pots and place in a light greenhouse or cold frame. No bottom heat is necesary at this time, or any other, for this class of geraniums. If shifted at New Year's into 3-inch and in early April to 4-inch, these should make splendid plants by the end of May. In most cases a cutting can be taken off the top of each of these about the first of February, which, if shifted as soon as well rooted, will make a good bedding plant in a 3i^-inch pot and a neat size for shipping. As far as price and profit are concerned, there is more in these smaller plants at $1 a dozen than the larger at $1.50. We have, as retailers, mostly no space to give to old plants, but the man who whole- sales can not only take off all the cuttings possible in September and October, but should at the same time lift these same cut down plants and put them on the bench in five inches of gOod soil, giving them space to grow. They will soon take hold and in a night temperature of 50 degrees and a light bench you will be able to take off at least three good batches of cuttings from fall to Mareh. The trouble with most all the young geraniums you buy of wholesale growers is that they are drawn-up, elongated, weak things. They have been grown too crowded and warm. In the winter months, whether for your own spring re- tailing or for shipping, 45 degrees at night is plenty and they must have light and ventilation whenever possible. When these succulent plants are in a low tem- perature they are often kept too wet and that makes them soft. Being on the dry side, and only watered when they are de- cidedly dry, makes them short jointed and hard and that is the condition a zonal geranium should be in if you ex- pect a free-growing and free-fiowering robust plant in the summer months. A rather stiff loam and firm potting Is essential at every stage of their growth. To use too much manure and induce a rank growth is a big mistake. Now a word about packing these plants for shipping. Perhaps you have noticed that there is no plant that so soon suffers with yellow leaves if ex- cluded from the light a few days. Even if left in the packing shed for forty- 1506 The Weekly Rorists* Rlt^^cw. liAT 11, lOOS. eight hours the leaves lose their color. Therefore^ express is the only way they Bboold be shipped. The small 2-iiich or 2^ -inch ^ot plants are the sizes mostly shipped in winter and nothing is easier. A tight iboz of moderate depth, well lined to k^^B^/rost, each little plant wrapped ^ «eme pliable paper and then laid tightly in layers till the box is full. I say tightly, because there should be no chance for any plant to move which ever way the box may be tossed about. Any small plants, roses, carnations, verbenas, petunias or anything else, travel finely except that with carnations or plants with small tops, four plants can be put in one parcel instead of each plant singly. The principal thing is that there should be '. no chance of any plant mov- ing in the box. Plants should be dry when shipped, never just watered. Moist would be correct, and tiie foKage dry. We often have to ship a few hun- dred fine 4-inch zonals in full flower at bedding time. To pack these plants tightly in a closed box would mar their appearance a good deal, although no permanent injury would be done, but these we wrap in paper and stand in a box with the sides as deep as the tops of the flowers. There is a way which must suggest itself to everyone; that is, after the first row of plants is stood firmly in the end of the box, another tier can be put between the stems of these. The next row is stood on the bottom of the box, and so on. If compactly packed no foliage will be bruised or broken. Then the box is covered with a few strong strips, leaving plenty of space for the plants and flowers to be seen. Then I never knew an express man to turn the box on its side or on end, but they can stand other boxes on top of your box without harm and charge only reasonable rates. Boxes of plants unprotected must be charged high. A few experiences in packing we won't forget. "We onoe wired to an auction sale in New York to buy us 1,000 single petunias. They arrived in flats. The petunias cost $10. The express charge was $11. Wrapped in paper in a closed box 50 cents would have been the charge. We once ordered 200 pansies from some pansy man, "fine plants in bloom." They were poor little wretches. Threa of them would not have weighed as much as one good bloom. A dozen were wrapped in a bunch, packed in the bottom of a box and then tightly nailed down. It took us half a day to run the whole conglomeration through a half-inch sieve and separate the little plants from the soil. I dare say we have made our own mistakes in days gone by. A good packer is a valua- ble man and it is a great advertisement for a firm when they gain the reputation of packing well without making expen- sive charges. We once received $400 worth of herbaceous plants from an Eng- lish firm which has an international fame on some specialties. When un- packed it was a disgusting mass. There was neither moss, straw, hay nor paper and you could scarcely tell whether it was delphinium roots, sour kraut in an advanced state, or tripe. W. S. IPREPARATIONS FOR BENCHING. Pew if any of the average florists' establishments are in shape to plant out chrysanthemums until after the bedding plants are disposed of, the combination of bedding plants and mums being a very common one and one that, as a rule, gives satisfactory results, the bed- ding plants filling the house during the winter and early spring and the mums the balance of the year. While the space for planting is not yet available, still everything should be in readiness so that when ready to begin operations everything can be done smoothly and expeditiously. It is easy to figure out how many plants one needs and if there are not enough propagated yet, cuttings should be got into the sand without delay. The weather is warm now and cuttings do not root nearly so easily as they did a month ago, so that enough cuttings should be put in to allow for a reasonable percentage of loss.. Kind of SoiL Soil should be chopped down and got in readiness and if it can be turned over once or twice before planting it is all the better for it, as during these turning operations bone and other in- gredients can be added and much more thoroughly mixed with the soil than they could with one single mixing. The ques- tion of what kind of soil is best to use is not of so much importance to the mum, since it seems to do well in almost any soil if properly handled and the necessary fertilizing elements supplied. I have seen the old soil taken from the carnation benches, after having a little manure mixed through it, put right back to grow the muihs in. Such meth- ods, however, I do not like, because, though, as I just stated, the chrysan- themum is not so particular as some other subjects, it amply repays any care that may be bestowed on it and should have a new "live" soil with lots of fibre in it. Any soil that has just borne a crop in a greenhouse bench is not, I consider, in a fit condition mechani- cally to immediately carry another, aside from the fact that it has been robbed of its "goodness" to a large extent. A good loam that has been stacked up the previous fall, with one-fourth of its bulk of cow manure, will, with the addition of a little bone, furnish the ideal soil for the mums to make a good, healthy, normal growth in. Later on, when the soil is full of roots, the ques- tion of feeding can be taken up to better advantage. Pot Plants. Plants intended to be grown in 6-inch pots may be footed any time for the next four ireeks, the sooner the better in the case of such dwarf growers as Merza or Cheltoni. I believe that man^ flo- rists could grow more plants of this class to their pecuniary advantage if they only would. An exhibition flower on a stem twelve to eighteen inches in height, with the foliage hanging over the pot, would sell at sight in many of our florists' stores, and yet they are never met with outside of an exhibi- tion. Half the pot plants usually shown in the stores as such are not worthy of the name. C. H. Tottt. Y^etable Forcing. 'iJ'^ VEGETABLE MAHKETS.

SEASONABLE WORK. Cucumbers in most cases will be the principal indoor crop at the present time. Though the setting of the fruit is easy at this season, compared with the duller months of the year, they will neverthe- less need watching, as a crop cannot be depended on unless the flowers are prop- erly fertilized. Less hand pollination will be necessary as natural agencies, such as bees and other insects, will be sure to find their way through the open ventilators and help distribute the pol- len. If bees are very plentiful the work can safely be left to them but other- wise they can hardly be depended on to do it all. The syringe must be kept going pretty freely to keep the plants clean. Both red spider and thrips quick- ly show themselves if syringing is neg- lected but if syringing is thoroughly done it is the best means we have of keeping them under control. Cantaloupes require practically the same general treatment as cucumbers, only in the setting of these care must be taken to try and get as many fiowers pollinated at about the same time, for if one or two are set on a plant and get the lead they will take the whole strength of the ^lant and no more fruit can be set, or, if set, they will never mature. We have often seen fruits set in such cases swell until they were about as large as a small chicken's egg but here they stop, gradually turn yellow and fall off. The inexperienced might think they were all right and begin to make sure of a good crop but disappointment is usually the outcome unless enough for a fuU crop can be set at one time. It may look like wasting flowers to pick them off when two or three good strong pistilate blossoms appear, but this is the '"^^^^^^rVf^^vl'^ Mat 11, 1006.

This is a case where hurry cuts no ice but where a little patience is sure of its reward. There is little danger of getting left in the matter of flowers, as once the lateral shoots get growing freely and attain suflBcient length they will produce pistilate flowers at almost every joint. Pollen bearing flowers are always plenti- ful. The regulation of the growth by pinch- ing is another matter that will require frequent attention, both in cucumbers and melons. Nothing much in the way of rules can be laid down for pinching. In regard to cucumbers, as they fruit so much more abundantly than melons the only thing to do is to regulate the growth according to the size of the trellis and prevent over-crowding. With the melons the general rule is to pinch out the point of the shoot two points beyond the fruit and then pinch aU secondary lateral shoots after they have made one joint, but here again the available trellis space must be taken into consideration. Bather pinch closer than allow the shoots to be- come thick and over-crowded. W. S. Cboydon. HEAD LETTUCE UNDER GLASS. Evolution of Lettuce House. Head lettuce has been grown unfler glass by the Boston market gardeners for many years, and the success which they have obtained in growing this crop offers one of the best examples of skill in th3 management of plants. Much of the head lettuce produced years ago was grown under sash. Then came the large frame house built of sash, which today seems crude in construction and badly deficient in light. Most of the lettuce houses to- day are even or two-thirds span con- structions and built out of light frames and generally run east and west. These houses are usually 300 fset long, forty feet wide and occasionally they are 400, or in some instances 600, feet or more in length. The roof glass generally em- ployed is 16x24 or 16x28 inches and in some modern houses 20x30 glass is em- ployed. The glass now employed is much larger and of superior quality to that originally utilized. The tendency has been in tlie growing of lettuce, as with other crops, to increase the light conditions by using larger glass and by the construc- tion of lighter frames. Importance of Light. The importance of light to crop pro- duction under glass, even at the present time, is not fully appreciated by green- house gardeners, and undoubtedly the tendency in the future will be to increase the light facilities even more. Few prac- tical gardeners realize as fully as they ought tQ that it is the action of sunlight on plants which is responsible for the bulk of the material of the plant organ- ism, or that photosynthesis or carbon as- similation is proportional to the intensity of light. The more light you can give plants between October and April the more they will assimilate, and as a conse- quence they will have more material to furnish the necessities for growth. More- over, light is a great factor in the devel- opment of the texture of tissues, which materially assists in rendering plants im- mune from various diseases. Character of Soil. Head lettuce requires a soil containing a considerable amount of the coarser con- stituents, together with a large amount of organic matter. The Atlantic sea coast soils, termed by Prof. Whitney, truck soils, are especially adapted to the growth of lettuce and other market gar- den crops. In these soils the clays, sUts and very fine sands are subordinate to the coarser constituents. Where the clay, silts, etc., predominate, as is the case in most of our inland soils, head lettuce cannot be grown so successfully. In the large establishments in the east, the growing of lettuce under glass has become well systematized. The lettuce seed is usually sown in separate houses devoted to this purpose. The seed is sown broadcast, and covered light- ly in a coarse or loose texture soil. There is no selection of seed by sifting or other process but it is sown as it is bought. No doubt it would pay Ipttuce growers to sift their seed and discard the smaller ones, as they develop into inferior plants and their germinating capacity is lower than in larger seeds. Some space and labor could be saved if the process of seed selection were applied. Selection of Plants. After the seeds have germinated and their first leaves are about one inch long, in which stage they are called "prick- ers," they are carefully selected as re- gards vigor, size and freedom from black root (beginning of botrytis rot) and transplanted three inches apart in special houses provided with good loam. They remain in this condition until they have developed four to si^ inch leaves, two inches or more wide and four or 'five inches long, after which they are perma- nently transplanted in larger houses at a distance of eight inches apart, where it takes from six to eight weeks, according to conditions, etc., for them to head. The requisite qualities that go with a first- class crop are a large, firm, solid head perfectly free from top burn, mildew and other diseases. Besides the nature of the soil, the temoerature of the house and the light conditions influence the nature of the produce, and the skill which let- tuce growers exert in controlling these factors is quite marked. Fertilizers. Commercial fertilizers are seldom if ever used in greenhouses for market gar- 1 508 The Weekly Florists' Review. Uax 11, 1906. den crops. Horse manure, however, is put on profusely and often. By this practice the soil becomes very rich in or- ganic matter and is so exceedingly light, porous and friable that one can readily push one's hand into the soil to a con- siderable depth with little exertion. It might be supposed that soil so heavily manured would in time become undesir- able for growing plants. This, however, does not prove to be the case, since on the whole there are soils that have re- ceived two or three heavy coats of horse manure each year for twenty-five years or more, and they are still producing excellent crops of lettuce. In fact, most lettuce growers consider an old soil the best. Watering. The practice of watering lettuce plants is somewhat different from that followed by growers of other plants. Some grow- ers water their house only once, and this is just previous to putting the plants in, and no further watering takes place until the next crop is set, or six or seven weeks later. Occasionally hot water is used instead of cold water but in either case the soil is drenched. This method of watering has practically the same advantages as sub-irrigation, since the water is in the lower depth of the soil, where the roots have to seek for it, and in this method of watering the sur- face of the soil soon becomes dry, which is an especially desirable feature in con- trolling certain rots. Some other grow- ers follow this practice in a general way but continue to water the plants in the soil for two or three weeks. Afterwards they stop watering until the crop is mature. This method of watering consti- tutes one of the most important features in reducing or eliminating botrytis rot. Temperature. The temperature at which a lettuce house should be run varies somewhat ac- cording to the weather conditions and crop, and in the regulation of tempera- ture the skill of the lettuce grower is well illustrated. In general, it may bo stated that the night temperature is from 36 to 45 degrees and the day tem- perature from 65 to 90 degrees. So much depends, however, upon the knowledge and judgment of the plant's require- ment during its development that this range of temperature signifies very little to those who are not familiar with let- tuce growing. A slight misjudgment in the regulation of temperature would cause the ruin of a crop in an exceed- ingly brief time. In no other part of the United States has the growing of vegetables under glass reached the point of perfection that it has in Massachusetts. According to W, W. Kawson, there are 1,200 market gardeners who bring produce to Boston, and this number is increasing. Mr. Baw- Bon estimates that there are about 200 acres under glass in Massachusetts. Geoboe E.

The following is an extract from an article which recently appeared in the Black Diamond, the recognized authority in the coal trade: . "Every now and then, when a jobber or territorial sales agent finds demur- rage piling up, he bethinks himself of some greenhouse owner who will take the coal off his hands at a concession. There are a few who will appreciate the full extent of the consumption of fuel in greenhouses, and take full advantage of the business opportunity it presents, but the many make no effort to till this profitable field, far underestimating its importance, , . •, i. "The public quite generally fails to appreciate the extent to which the cut flower industry has developed in recent years, but coal men should be well versed in the faets, though many are not. Cook county, Illinois, grows more flowers than any one county in the United States; then comes Philadelphia county, Penn- sylvania; then Middlesex county, Mas- sachusetts; then Kings county. New York; then Hudson county. New Jer- sey; then Queens county. New York. But these counties, which are the pro- ducing areas for the wholesale markets of Chicago, New York, Philadelphia and Boston, represent only a small fraction of the florist establishments of the country, although it is a matter of cen- sus record that Cook county, Illinois, produced in 1899 to within $76,000 in value as many flowers ag the whole state of Ohio. Several greenhouse establish- ments in Cook county bum from seventy- flve to 150 cars of coal a season, with one or two which bum 175 cars and one burned 7,000 tons of Pocahontas coal last winter. There are many which bum twenty-five to forty cars of coal a sea- son. Indeed, one coal man told the writer recently that he sells the florists north of Chicago from 600 to 1,000 cars of coal a year. "The census enumerators in 1899 found 30,417 greenhouse establishments with an area of 96,230,420 square feet of glass. By far the larger number grew vegetables, but much the larger part of the glass, 68,030,666 square feet, was devoted to flowers, which makes it look very much as though the flower growers were more prosperous and ex- panding faster than the vegetable grow- ers. The total investment of the flower growers was $52,462,419, and their total sales in 1899, $18,505,881 at wholesale value. "A conservative estimate is that the florists' business in all respects, glass area, value 6t sales, coal consumption, etc., has increased at the rate of fifteen per cent a year since the census, which would make the present glass area for flowers around a hundred million square feet, or nearly 25,000 acres! "The census office went to the trouble of trying to figure out the value of the heating apparatus in each greenhouse, with the result of provoking considerable merriment among the men who own the plants when the figures were published. It would have been easier and of more importance to have ascertained the an- nual coal consumption. The record of one of the largest Cook county growers shows that in the winter of 1903-4 he burned approximately fourteen pounde of Pocahontas coal for each square foot of glass area in his place. Another grower's record shows thirteen pounds per square foot, using part Carterville and part Pocahontas. One of the best authorities in America on rose growing states that for a winter like 1903-4 it is necessary, with average coal and average greenhouse, that is, fairly tight, to figure on eight tons of coal for 1,000 feet of IN THE ADIRONDAOCS.

By a little figuring you can estimate what it will take to run a place of any size. "Taking the man who used fourteen pounds of Pocahontas as a basis, to heat the whole hundred million square feet of greenhouses in the country last winter must have taken around 1,400,000,000 pounds of coal— 700,000 tons— 20.000 cars ! "As a matter of fact only a small proportion of the greenhouses are burn- ing Pocahontas; most of them in the west bum the cheaper grades of western steam coal and in the east many bum anthracite, but where the greenhouse is at a distance from the mine the florist is hkely to use a pretty good grade of fuel. First cost does not stand in his way; if you can figure out to him that you can save him money in the end he will do business. He has leamed to be fore- handed in his purchases. The larger growers will make coal contracts in Feb- ruary, March or April for a good deal of coal for delivery in July and August; others will buy in the summer for imme- diate delivery. Then there are many others who do not look so far ahead who are in the market all winter, so the en- terprising coal man can find something doing all the year around among the florists. ' ' * five per cent of the cuttings have been lost in this way. The roots from which the cuttings are obtained are bedded into houses about Christmas, and allowed to start slowly into growth, a temperature of about 60 degrees being maintained. The cuttings are taken off during February and March, and dibbed into beds in a house. The bottom heat is procured from three rows of pipes mnning round the side beds and under the center one. The bed of soil is about five inches in depth, and Messrs. Bobbie's experience is that the cuttings root as well in fresh, clean, slightly sandy loam as anything. The bottom heat in this house runs from 70 to 80 degrees, and the top heat always 10 to 15 degrees less. Shading is, of course, essential, and dewing with water is given whenever required. — Gardeners' Magazine. PROPAGATING DAHLIAS. Bobbie & Co., Bothesay, England, have been long recognized as among the very largest growers of dahlias. This season propagation has been carried on under the happiest condition?, owing to an al- most entire absence of damping. Bamp- ing off at one time was a serious matter, but the firm had some houses built spe- cially for striking cuttings, and ever since damping has been a lessening evil, until this season not more than three to ARNOLD ARBOHETUM. [An extract from a paper by Wllhelm MUIer, read at St. LonU, NoTember 10, 1904.] One of the most fruitful gifts that was ever made to humanity was that which resulted in the Arnold Arbore- tum, the best collection of hardy trees and shrubs in the United States. Al- though the arboretum is of immense practical value to horticulture, the chances are that the story of its foun- dation is unfamiliar to the majority of this audience, even to those who have had the pleasure of a visit to it. James Arnold was not particularly interested in trees and shrubs; he did not leave the money for that specific purpose, and his gift was rather small. He was a New England merchant who retired at fifty, enjoyed a good gar den, and had confidence in the judgment of his friend, George B. Emerson, author of the well-known report on the forest trees of Massachusetts. Boubtless act- ing on Mr. Emerson 's suggestion, he left the money for the improvement of agriculture or horticulture, purposely stating the object in the vaguest possi- ble manner, so that the trustees could put the money into whatever promised the biggest returns to humanity. It happened that they put the money into a collection of trees and shrubs. It happened that they were fortunate to secure as director a wealthy man, who not only gave them the best collection of books on trees and shrubs in the vrorld, but, better still, has devoted his life to the service of science in the same spirit and with the same effective- ness as Lawes and Gilbert or Charles Barwin. In fact, it was this director, Professor Sargent, who made the no- table bargain with Harvard University and the city of Boston which has mag- nified the original gift of Jaaes Amold to an effectiveness far beyond hia dreams. Let us now examine this triangular l»rgain between city, college and hor- ticultural institution and see what each party gets out of it and whether there IS anything left for the people. Harvard University owns a big piece of land, given to it by the founder of the Bus- sey Institution, which it has no funds to develop. The city of Boston takes this land by the right of eminent do- main for use as a park, but leases it back to the university for 999 years. The city builds, maintains and polices the roads, as it would have to do with any other park. The arboretum gets for nothing the use of the land on which to grow its trees and do its other work; the university gets for nothing a splen- did new department, viz., a great out- door laboratory where classes go to study botany, forestry, horticulture and landscape gardening; the city gets a park for a thousand years without tax- .■^■.. ■■ -•■' •" ' •' ;'. ■ '; -'/'-..r'A: •I;,; '' .;' ■ <■'•'■" 15J0 The Weekly Florists' Review* iikt 11. 1905. in^ the people to buy land wortli $2,000,000. It is a remarkable example of the fact that a good bargain bene- fits all parties concerned and reminds one of the famous dollar bill which passed and repassed round the circle of a roomful of people and paid every- body's debts. Now for some of the fruits of this piece of financial engineering which it took five years to perfect. First, the 8ilva of North America, probably the most splendid- scientific book of any kind that has been produced in the western hemisphere, certainly the best work ever published that describes the trees and shrubs of any country; sec- ond, Garden and Forest, the best hor- ticultural periodical we have ever had; third, the Jesup collection of the trees of North America, now preserved in the American Museum of Natural History at New York, a collection which is all that a tree-lover, horticulturist, botan- ist, forester, lumberman or woodworker eould wish for; fourth, its census of the forest wealth of the country, which had mnoh to do with the establishment of a national forest reserve that now amounts to 62,000,000 acres of timber land; fifth, its work in connection with the establishment of the first state re- serve, that of New York; sixth, its part in the rescue of Niagara Falls and the creation of a great park there; seventh, its contribution to landscape garden- ing, since it has shown that a botanical garden may be made prijnarily a beau- tiful park, instead of a mere outdoor museum; eighth, its educational value to the general public, to college stu- dents and to nurserymen and garden- ers; lastly, its direct practical services to horticulture in testing the hardiness and ornamental value of new and rare trees and shrubs. All this is a good deal to grow out of a gift of about $10,000 in 1868, but a wise gift often grows that way. An acorn makes a nnall start, but it has big possibilities. THE HUCKLEBERRY BRANCHES. The branches of tho high-growing huckleberry have been known to the dec- orators on the Pacific coast. The branches are flat and well furnished with enduring, lustrous, green leaves and can be used in almost the sams manner as wild smilax. Usually there has been enough wild smilax to meet the spring demand, but this year most markets are wholly without wild smilax and in some what little remains is of such poor quality that the decorators are not using it. This has made an opening for the huckleberry, which is finding its way to northern markets through the same channel as came the first wild smilax, from Caldwell, at Evergreen, Ala. The accompanying illustration gives an idea of the character of the foliage. It en- dures well and seems to have already established itself as a permanent dec- orative green in many parts of the coun- try where it was unknown a month ago. HERBACEOUS CALCEOLARIAS. "The charge that is generally brought against the herbaceous calceolaria by un- successful growers, ' ' says a writer in the (hardeners' Magazine, "is the one that has often been brought against the stage pelargonium, viz., that it's a dirty thing for greenfiy. Now, it must frankly be admitted that greenfly are somewhat par- tial to both pelargoniums and calceolar- ias grown under certain conditions, but by fulfilling a few simple conditions, both plants, especially the calceolaria, can be so grown that the aphides will give very little trouble. I do not remem- ber ever having to fumigate or vaporize a batch of plants more than twice, and I have often found once quite sufficient. This leads me to make one preliminary remark, and I attach great importance to it; it is this, that I am certain that nine-tenths of the failures that occur in calceolaria culture are due to coddling; in other words, when the calceolaria is killed, it is almost invariably by kind- ness. "Calceolarias were first introduced to this country froip Chili and Peru in the end of the eighteenth and beginning of The Decorative Huckleberry. the nineteenth century, some of them be- ing of a shrubby and some of a herba- ceous habit. Our present day superb strains are the results of hybridiza- tion between such old named varieties as amplexieaulis, integrifolia, purpurea, corymbosa, and a few others. ' ' I should think there are comparative- ly few really poor strains of calceolaria seed in the market today, but some strains are undoubtedly superior to others, and I would therefore, advise cau- tion in the purchase of seed. 'In com- paring strains, two points ought to be kept in view. The first and primary one is the size and quality of the flowers, as every other consideration is only a meaps to this end. A second point is, however, worthy of consideration, viz., the habit of the plants. I have no ad- miration for the Tom Thumb strains that are sometimes to be met with nowa- days, but, on the other hand, a leggy habit should be avoided, a medium height with a compact habit being *the most desirable. Another point worth noting in connection with habit is this: It will be found that plants which natur- ally produce ample foliage of a thick, succulent ' character are more vigorous and healthy than those with thin, spare foliage ; moreover, a groundwork of mas- sive green foliage helps to relieve the bright color of the flowers." A FINE PHALAENOPSIS. The accompanying illustration is re- produced from a photograph of a spec- imen of Phalsenopsis Schilleriana flow- ering at the greenhouses of H. G. Sel- fridge. Lake Geneva, Wis. C. H. Qeb- hardt, the gardener in charge, sup- plies the following note on the sub- ject: " Phalsenopsis Schilleriana, from the Philippine Islands, is one of the finest otchids in cultivation, quite dissimilar from any other kind. The roots are very distinct, being flat and rough and free in growth. The leaves are oblong, six to eighteen inches long, finely var- iegated, dark green mottled with streaks of greyish white on the upper side, the under surface purple. The scapes produced frqm the axils of the leaves, are from two to three feet long, more branched than those of any other kind. The individual flowers are from two to three inches across. They are of a beautiful light pink color edged with white. They flower in summer and autumn and last for sev- eral weeks. We keep them in our East Indian house. The culture is the same as I have given lately for Phal- senopsis Bhimestadiana. ' ' GONGORA GALEATA. The photograph shows a plant in the collection of H. G. Selfridge, Lake Geneva, Wis., whose head gardener supplies the accompanying note: "Qon- gora galeata (syn Acropera Loddigerii) is from Mexico. It is not a showy orchid but very interesting for an am- ateur, as the flowers are curious in their formation. When fully devel- oped the pseudo-bulbs are ovate, clus- tered. From their base the drooping racemes of flowers are produced. They are pale, tawny yellow, with a brown- ish red and are very fragrant." PHILADELPHIA. The Market Business is dull. These are all the facts in a nutshell. Even sweet peas are hard to sell. A feature of the market supply is the arrival of flowers from the specialist in outdoor blooms. Thomas J. Oberlin, of Sinking Springs, near Read- ing, Pa., has sent in first shipments, including Gesneriana tulips to Fred Ehret. It may be said that most of the stock brings something, but the aver- age is not in sight of the listed prices, the street proportion being large. The Center of Activity. It is today no longer a question whether to buy stock east of Broad street or west, the desire to sell cut flowers be- ing infinitely greater than the desire to buy them. The question is where to find the growing plants needed to adorn the garden, the lawn, the window and the porch. The fateful tenth of May has ar- rived and more business is now being JUT 11, 1005. The Weekly Horists' Review^ I5U transacted in the suburbs than in the heart of the city. The Alburgers, the Colfleshes, the Woltemates, the West- cotts and fifty more well known growers, who have houses filled with this class of stock, are working early and late reap- ing the harvest that virtually ends with Decoration day. ^^ -■^■- '''='--'■ : Removal, .,:, ■.:.,.■. ^^-.A' M. Bice & Co., well known dealers in ribbons and florists' supplies, are now moving their machinery and stock into their new building at 1220 Bace street. This handsome structure, designed by one of the foremost architects of the city, is admirably adapted for their purpose and when in complete running order will give the firm all the facilities for manufac- turing and handling florists ' supplies that modern ingenuity can devise. The work has been so rapidly pushed that it now seems probable that business will, be run- ning smoothly in the new building by the beginning of next month. The foundation of the present firm was made in 1885, when the Philadelphia Immortelle Co. was started at 725 Arch street. In 1892 this company consoli- dated with the firm of Marchentz & Co., doing business at 25 North Fourth street. In 1894, on the death of Joseph Mar- chentz, the firm name was changed to M. Bice & Co. In 1899 B. Eschner en- tered the firm and in July of that year the business was removed to their present quarters at 918 Filbert street. The rapid expansion of their business, which now covers the entire United States, required the addition last year of the next build- ing, 916 Filbert street. Their many friends congratulate them upon their acquisition of quarters so well suited to the accommodation of tne "leading flo- rists' supply house." Germantown Horticaltural Society. Frank Miles gave an able lecture, most beautifully illustrated by stereopticon views, on "Italian Gardens" before the Germantown Horticultural Society on Monday evening. His audience was large and very appreciative. N, Dubois Miller read interesting extracts from an ama- teur gardener's diary. Edwin C. Jel- lett extolled the society's good work, past and present. George Bedles gave an able botanical talk on the wild flow- ers shown. The exhibition was highly creditable. Horticultural HalL It is the evening of a big ball. I do not know whether the decorations were arranged by Graham or by Habermehl. I do know that a young man ran up the steps and explained to the doorkeeper that his ticket was at home, ten miles away, that he must go in and would mail the ticket the next day. The doorkeeper said he was sorry, but his orders were posi- tive. No one could enter without a ticket. As the young man turned away disap- pointed, a seedy looking chap approached him. ' ' Give me a dollar, ' ' he said, ' ' and I will get you in." "First tell me how," the young man asked, but the other shook his head. Well, the young man thought, "I'll risk $1." The other pocketed the money. "Now give me your hat and overcoat," he said. The moment they were off he ran across Broad street with them, leaving the young man standing in evening dress bareheaded on the sidewalk. Suppose he did not return? Presently, however, he reappeared, bringing a check from the cloak room at the Walton for the hat and coat. "Here is your check, *:•- . '.' 11 doit' o\ al Phalaenopsis Schilleriana.

Mr. Bayersdorfer 's annual trip is of benefit to thousands of Ameri- can florists, who look to him for new ideas to be used in their business next season. The United States Express Co. has agreed to pay to A. Farenwald, of Hill- side, part of the loss caused by four frozen and one delayed shipment of flowers. John Burton, assignee for Eobert Craig & Son, has called a meeting of the firm's creditors for Monday, May 15, at 3 p. m., at 49 Market street. H. M. Collins, of Boston, was in town this week.

Joseph Heacock has been shipping many of his fine kentias this week. Godfrey Aschmann is the moonvina specialist of the day. Wm. J. Baker is receiving many fine carnations. The Millbrook Lea Greenhouses expect to be on crop, W. J. Moore says, with carnations for Decoration day. Phil. Morton Grove, Ilu— Kirscht & Co. will this spring add one house to their place. It will be 22x100 and will bring the total of their glass up to about 18,- 000 feet. They grow carnations and the principal stock for next season will be Lawson, Enchantress, Estelle, Boston Market and Fiancee. ■J 1512 TheWeekly Rwists' Review. Mat 11. 1006. DES MOINES, lA. W. L. Morris BMycrapt. On May 5 W. L, Morris filed a volun- tary petition in bankruptcy in the United States court. He gives his liabilities as $9,446.61 and schedules no assets. The Morris greenhouse establishment is distinct from the Morris-Blair Floral Co., which is the retail end of the con- cern and is apparently doing an excel- lent business. There is without doubt a field for such a store here, as a local census just completed shows a popula- tion of 74,178 and the community is one of the best in the country. All busi- ness is good here and financial wrecks are the result of bad seamanship rather than dangerous waters. BOSTON. The Market Business has been very quiet during the past week, with an oversupply of most flowers coming in. The quality of both roses and carnations is deteriorating with the warmfer weather. Beauties are abundant, the best bringing $15 to $20 per hundred. A good many short-stenmied ones are sold at low figures. A few ex- tra select Brides and Bridesmaids make $8, but as a rule $6 has been as much as good stock would bring. Grades selling at $2 to $3 are in best demand, short- stemmed ones going for $1. Carnations are somewhat lower. A few Lawson, Harry Fenn and other colored sorts have made $3, but as a rule $1.50 to $2 has bought good stock, ordinary and poor grades going as low as 50 \o 75 cents. Some double violets are still coming in from one or two growers. Thomas Peg- ler had 10,000 on May 6 of nice quality. Prices average 75 cents. Sweet peas are the best selling flowers at present. People are naturally getting tired of roses and carnations and buy these freely. Prices hold at 50 cents to $1 for good stock. William Sim has some 10,000 daily and other growers of- fer large quantities, but not enough for the demand. In addition to Mont Blanc and Earliest of All, quite- a number of other sorts are now coming in, including the new^ Gladys Unwin, which is of a soft, bright pink color. Bulbous stock sells very well. A good portion of it now comes from outdoors. Lily of the valley sells very well and is not over-abundant. Callas and lilies move slowly. Some very good gladioli is coming in, the best mak- ing $5 to $6. t Variods Notes. The Boston Public Gardens are very at- tractive just now with the annual tulip display, some hundreds of thousands of which are in flower. Bedding plant trade is now getting very brisk. These seem to be handled in every imaginable kind of store. The forsythias are blooming magnifi- cently this season in this section. Those in the parkways and arboretum are a beautiful sight at present. Magnolias and other spring flowering subjects are also in fine flower. Warren Fenno, of Bevere, who died on April 28, aged 50 years, was one of the most expert fruit growers in Massa- chusetts.

He has disposed of as many as 1,700 flowers a day of this variety and all pur- chasers attest to its wonderful keeping qualities.

We had a dry fall and winter and the spring rainfall has been far below the average. A greater loss than usual in spring planted trees and shrubs as a re- sult of the drought is likely. The loss in deciduous trees and shrubs from the late winter was less than usual, but as the season advances the destruction among evergreens becomes more appar- ent. Great regret among horticulturists of all classes is felt at the death of Profes- sor N. H. Goodell, president of the Mas- sachusetts Agricultural College, Amherst, Mass. The deceased, who had been in failing health, spent the last winter in Florida and died on his way home from there on April 23. Professor Goodell did much toward advancing horticulture along scientific lines as a director of the Hatch Experiment Station and was al- ways welcomed as a lecturer before the Massachusetts Horticultural and kindred societies. He had presided over the col- lege at Amherst for nineteen years. His loss will be severely felt. Intelligence of the death of James Bough, one of the oldest, most highly es- teemed and successful of our city flo- rists, reached us just too late for the last issue of the Beview. Mr. Bough died on the night of May 2, of pneuibonia, after a sickness of ten days' duration. A Scot by birth, the deceased came to America in 1871, working for C. M. At- kinson on the John L. Gardner estate in Brookline. After a year's work on private estates he entered the commer- cial end of floriculture and for many years operated a store on Washington street, moving to Huntington avenuei. nearly opposite Horticultural hall, soon after that building had been opened. Here he had a well equipped store, which always looked attractive and where he did a large and increasing business. All those who had business relations wit]v him speak of him as a strictly honest and upright man and deplore his loss. Mr. Bough was in his fifty-eighth year and well preserved for his years. He leaves two daughters and a son. The lat- ter, James, Jr., better known as ' ' Jim, ' ' is manager of the Music Hall Flower Market at present, and will, we trust,, prove a worthy successor to his lamented father. At the funeral services on May 5 there was a very large gathering, in- cluding many of his former business as- sociates. The numerous and beautiful floral souvenirs bore tribute to the es- teem in which he was held. A familiar greeting among carnation- ists these days seems to be, "Has your Fiancee shown up yett" Beplies gen- erally appear to be in the negative. Everyone anticipates a big Memorial day business. This is the one holiday in the year when everything in the shape of a flower goes. From orders already booked by fiie large growers, there would seem to be a heavier demand than ever. Welch Bros., as usual, are prepared for a record breaking Memorial day trade and they will handle an enormous quan- tity of cut flowers in all seasonable va- rieties. They hope all needing stock will place orders early, as late comers are likely to be disappointed. They report good orders for plants of Killamey rose.

Brown tail moth caterpillars are get- ting in their work now with a vengeance and people are crying out for immediate action on the part of the state, which has an appropriation of $75,000 to use this season in fighting it. ' Many cities and towns destroyed nests in thousands the past winter and the warfare against the pest will this year be on a larger scale than ever before. Thomas Capers, a well known and much respected florist, of Newburyport, died on April 29, aged 66 years. Coming from England to America while quite young, he settled in Newburyport thirty years ago, having been in private and later commercial floriculture all that time. He leaves a widow and one son. W.

There are fair crops on in nearly all lines and various circumstances have setved to limit the demand. Because of the strike, the local retail trade amounts to practically noth- ing, particularly with the down town stores. At the same time it seems that every other market is suffering with a glut of stock and there is no need for buyers in many cities to send to Chi- cago. Strange as it may ssem to those unfamiliar with the circumstances, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Cleveland and Pitts- burg, where there are numerous whole- sale houses, are usually among the best patrons of the Chicago wholesalers. This is not so at present. They have enough stuff in their home markets to meet all requirements. There is no great oversupply of Beau- ties, or fine Liberties, but of first-class Brides and Maids there are too many to hold the prices and Chatenay and Golden Gate are both in over-abundance and sell- ing very cheap for splendid stock. The value of carnations dwindled steadily all through last week and this we$k bids fair to give the growers the lowest aver- ages ever seen for the corresponding grade of material, for much of the re- ceipts are strictly fine. Easter lilies have become absolutely immovable. It is not a case of cleaning un at cheap prices, but one of dumping the lilies when they are no longer pre- sentable. Callas are in almost as bad a way. There are now large receipts of outdoor tulips, including some of the finest ever seen in the market. Parrot tulips being particularly good. There is a fair demand for valley for wedding work and McKellar reports many ad- vance orders for cattleyas. Peonies began to come in at the end of last week. The old red was quickly followed by the later sorts and all colors are now offered in quantity. The crop seems likely to come all at once this year and on May 9 quantities of Missouri goods went into cold storage. It is re- ported that in certain quarters the crop will be lighter than usual, but there promises to be enough for everyone un- less conditions change radically. We es- caped the large lots of lilac from south- ern Ilinois because the express companies would not accept consignments except where special arrangements had been made, and these did not interest the wholesalers with so much other material in the market. There is now a goodly lot of local lilac. There are increased receipts of smilax and poor stock does not bring as much as it did a week or two ago. Southern ferns appear, but there are yet several hundred thousand Massachusetts ferns in cold storage. The Strike Situation. * ZZ^Z The situation as regards the express drivers' strike has changed very little in the past week. The wholesalers ' team- ing arrangements are still serving to get the outgoing shipments of "funeral flowers" to the depots without trouble, the union favoring the trade very, great- ly in this respect. Individual arrange- ments are still in force as to getting the incoming stock from the depots to the wholesale houses. The express companies are willing to make deliveries under guard but this the wholesalers do not wish. Practically all greenhouse stock which usually reaches this market is get- ting in safely, but the outdoor stuff, such as southern lilacs, has been largely elimi- nated, as with so great supplies the green- house grown flowers the wholesalers did not care to guarantee charges, assume all risk of damage and go to the depot t* get this class of material. Otherwise the express companies would not accept it from consignors. The same thing is likely to occur with cape jasmines if the strike continues so long. However, in so far as the regular cut flower trade is con- cerned, it may be said that our trade ia practically uninterrupted and in mani- festly better condition than any other business which is in any measure depend- ent upon the express companies. Decoration Day. Everyone hopes that the strike will be over before Decoration day, but so long as conditions are as at present business will not be interfered with. Decoration day is constantly growing in importance and great quantities of stock are called for from this market. Inquiries to hand would indicate good business again this year. Various Notes. B. F. Rubel, who is the head of the Fleischman Floral Co., 3 Jackson boule- vard, has taken the store at North State and Division streets, which proved a los- ing venture for T. D. Mosconesotes, and will place it in charge of John Gormley, formerly with the Ernst Wienhoeber Co. The down town store is now in charge of George Wienhoeber, ^ a nephew of Mr. Wienhoeber. The Florists' Bowling Club took up regular practice on Tuesday evening. From now until convention time there will be a weekly meeting at Bensinger's al- leys, 114 Monroe street, and the players who make the best averages will be en- titled to represent the club at Washing- ton. Everyone is invited to try his hand. There will also bs bowling by the ladies on an adjoining alley. E. F. Win- terson, J. S. Wilson and Fred StoUery are the committee in charge. There will be a regular meeting of the Chicago Flo- rists' Club tonight. '•'*?^ "*j| 1514 The Weekly Florists' Review. Max 11, 190S.

I Bert Budlong, of J. A. Budlong's, has returned from a month's trip to New York and Boston. He says he was very hospitably received by every one of the many growers whom he visited and shown their stock and methods of growing. He found that on carnations and Beauty roses Chicago is not behind but that the East leads on high grade tea roses. He found, too, that practically all the best growers are using grafted stock, so while at the Waban Rose Conservatories he bought some grafted 'Brides and Maids for trial next season. Kennicott Bros. Co. calls attention to the very unusual circumstance that earli- est, midseason and even some of the late peonies are all coming in at once. They had a few Festiva maxima on May 8. Mr. Pieser say he thinks all the big lot for cold storage will be in within a week. F. S. Schmeling was down from Mil- waukee this week and gave the Foley Mfg. Co. an order for cypress for four greenhouses 29x100 and for pecky cy- press for bench material for them. Two of the houses will be put up this spring and two during the siunmer, the latter being for plants. In Friedman 's window there is a minia- ture ship's wheel, supported by oars, bearing the words * ' Flowers delivered on board steamers." The center of the wheel is a blackboard on which are lists of the "sailings" from New York and Boston. Poehlmann Bros. Co. is getting some splendidly colored Prosperity carnations. John Poehlmann says that he has noted that the first crop of Prosperity in the fall is pretty white in color but that after the first cut is off, the flowers which fol- low have plenty of variegation. Frank Beu, on North Fortieth avenue, has recently added three houses to his establishment. They will be planted with chrysanthemums for next fall. P. J. Hauswirth spent four days last week at a state meeting of Red Men at Mt. Vernon. He tells it as a joke on the "Indians" that at the election only a couple of weeks before the meeting, the town voted no license. E. C. Amling says that he is looking for the usual increase in Decoration day business again this year. He figures that there will be no trouble in handling it- George Reinberg says that this has been a very good season for the sale of carnation cuttings. It started very poor- ly, but in April he did an especially big business in this line. Vaughan & Sperry are receiving several good seedling roses from Charles Hopp, of Grand Rapids. One previously men- tioned in this column, as on the order of La Detroit. Another Mr. Hopp calls the white Chatenay, but it has many more petals. The stems are like fishpoles, some of them are so long. E. H. Hunt reports a good business in supplies for Decoration day. They make shipments by freight rather than run any chances with the pickets about the express offices. "Larry" Kelly is again in the flower business, busy bringing incoming stock from the depots. A recent report was that the wagon service was costing the wholesalers 17 cents a box to get outgoing shipments de- livered to depots. That's a whole lot cheaper than most lines of business are getting off. Wietor Bros, are showing some extra Enchantress carnations. They say 3 cents is now the top, where the same goods brought 8 cents in winter. They have finished planting carnations in the field. John Zech, of Zech & Mann, says that, although he hasn't the monopoly of the gladiolus supply as in previous weeks, still it is his best selling item. Peter Reinberg is getting a big cut of Chatenay of splendid quality. Bassett & Washburn are now hauling in a little stock from Hinsdale each day but still do most of their shipping from the greenhouses. A. L. Randall says he does not remem- ber a season when collections after Easter came in slower. It is a general com- plaint. The E. F. Winterson Co. is still getting New York violets of fair quality. The cool weather seems to have prolonged their season wonderfully. L. Coatsworth went to New Castle Tuesday night for a few days ' stay. The Benthey-Coatsworth Co. is rebuilding some of its houses there.

The Market There is not much to say about the market these days. The ship is running slowly on an even keel. The supply is very abundant and prices very low. Ex- cept for roses, stock in the cut flower line is excellent. in quality. The street mer- chants have turned to lilacs and pansies and violets have gracefully retired. Trailing arbutus has ceased to trail. Good American Beauties have been few and far between since Easter. There have been lots of Brunners and J acqs, to depreciate their value. E)illarney seems to grow in popularity. Its keep- ing qualities are wonderful and its proven hardness commends it to the ama- teur for outdoor planting. Gladioli are Mat 11, 1906.

The carnation and Crozy canna were also mentioned, while Mr. Wheeler thought from the Kentucky standpoint the mint carried off the palm. Messrs.

The Horticultural Society of New York holds its fifth annual exhibition this week at Bronx park and it is to be hoped a better attendance than usual may be seen. The exhibits will be in charge of Head Gardener Skene, which guarantees the best of care for the •xhibitors. The usual prize for the year's best horticultural novelty has been left out of the schedule this year. The boom in real estate in the suburbd of New York is large enough to gladden many a florist's heart these days. Mr. Dreyer was relieved of much of his real estate by the Pennsylvania B. B. to his advantage some time ago and its lat- est reaching out has included the prop- erty of Charles Smith and Victor Dorval. C. W. Ward is now within a stone's throw of the greatest racing park in the world. The florists who hold on will walk on velvet before many years. Away down on the outskirts of Flat- bush, Jerome Suydam, the camationist, is cutting his land into building lots and disposing of his greenhouses. A week ago we "speeded the parting guest," E. G. Hill, of Richmond, on his way to Europe, intending to be back in time for the Washington convention. Maltus & Ware, the custom house brokers, headquarters for many of the foreign bulb drummers, have removed to 14 Stone street. A call at the Julius Koehrs Co. 's palm and orchid factory at Carlton Hill last week revealed an enormous sea of bay trees in every size and shape. The bay must be growing popular, for Mr. Boehrs tells me the advance orders will take many and that not one of them will be left before the summer passes. A Cattleya Mossise with nearly 100 blooms is probably the finest specimen of this plant in this country. The Boehrs Co. has had a wonderful sea- son. If there is a busier nursery in the neighborhood of New York than Bob- bink & Atkins', at Butherford, I have not seen it. Their 100 acres are but the nucleus of what this firm will accom- plish in due time. Both are young men, tireless in their devotion to the great work they have set out to accomplish. Their importations of evergreens and bay trees are reckoned not by car-loads, but trains this season. Young & Nugent will fit up the first floor of their property on Twenty-eighth street as a palm room this week, which wUl make their retail department very complete and convenient. A property on Twenty-eighth street, suitable for the New York Florists' Club's home for all time, is in the mar- ket and with a united effort on the part of its members can be secured. The exodus to Newport has begun, Hodgson, Siebrecht &> Son, Wadley & Smythe and Leikens have already sent on their forerunners to get everything in readiness for an anticipated busy sea- son. In the absence of Mr. and Mrs. Leikens, Frank Good will have charge of the New York store. Bowe had a big wedding at Summit last week and one at the National Art Club's rooms. Wild smilax with wis- taria, apple and cherry blossoms and white flowering dogwood were exten- sively used with many lilies. Mr. Bowe is the first florist to advertise extensive- ly in the street cars of New York. The early closing movement is on, both in the wholesale and retail stores, the former shutting up shop at 6 and the latter at 8 p. m. Alex McConnell was the first to change from 9 p. m., the ofScial hour all winter, with many a necessary hold-over till the wee sma' ■am TOVB OBDSB TO GEO.

The next Florists' Club meeting, in June, will be a special peony and pos- sibly ladies' night and will precede the yearly outing, which now promises to be a great success.

It is largely used by the Florists of the Pacific G)ast, Washing- ton and Oregon in decorations. The branches are FLAT, very thickly furnished with exceedingly lustrous, green leaves and it seems to adapt itself to almost any position in decoration that the Wild Smilax can be used in. As the introducer of Southern Wild Smilax, I think you can give me credit for knowing a good thing when I see it, and I am convinced that in Huckleberry Branches you will have a very beauti- ful substitute for the Wild Smilax, of great value to you through the months of May and June. I am anxious to get the verdict of the Floral Trade on this introduction and offer to send you a Case on Suspicion, price $2.50 per case if it suits you, nothing if it does not. Will you try a case on these terms ? Yours very truly, CALDWELL THE WOODSMSN, Evergreen, Ala. New Crop Hardy Ferns Now Ready SlSaSSSi *i:oo S:' iSoo: CALDWBLL THE WOODSMAN.

CUT FLOWERS LET US HEAR FROM YOU. Carnations WHOLESALE A Specialty 6R0WER Of attendance of over 300 has been pro- vided for. Glenwoou is far ahead of any rendezvous the club has heretofore chosen for its annual outing. Tuesday was Mr. and Mrs. Ghormley 's forty-fifth wedding aniversary and Mr. Ghormley 's emploj^es took the oppor- tunity to present a loving cup. M. Lecakes is expected home from Greece next week. No such spring has ever been known around New York. Plantings on the large estates have been enormous and yet the nursery business in this country is only in its infancy. Ealph M. "Ward & Co. are now set- tled in their new and convenient quar- ters on West Broadway, close to the wholesale seed and bulb section. Thay have added to their foreign connections the nursery firm of Jacs Smits, of Naar- den, Holland. Harry Bunyard, representing A. T. Boddington, is back from a successful western trip. J. Austin Shaw. Havre, Mont. — The Havre Floral Co. has been organized and is about to erect two greenhouses, one for carnations and one for general stock. The grower is John Linn, who was formerly with M. Kranz, at the Montana Floral Exchange ^ at Great Falls. He is thoroughly expe- rienced in business and should mak« a success of the new company, as the town is a prosperous one. Mr. Linn is at present very busy in preparations for his building operations. PIPING FOR HOT WATER. I have two houses, one 20x100 and eleven feet to ridge, the other 11x100 and eight feet to ridge. These are heated hj steam and piped with 1-inch pipe. I want to change to hot water heat. Can I use the 1-inch pipe for the narrow house and buy 2-inch pipe for the larger one or must I buy 2-inch pipe for both? /W. H. K. Your 1-inch pipe is too small to be economical for hot water. For this pur- pose, particularly in a small place, where a night fireman is not employed, larger pipe is better, for several reasons. In ai small pipe the water cools faster and the friction causes slower circulation. While it is possible to use your 1-inch pipe, you will probably be repaid in the greater efficiency of your plant for buying larger pipe. A size commonly used is 1%-inch, although many places use 4-inch. But the larger the pipe the greater the cost of installation unless good second-hand pipe is to be picked up. I GET much pleasure and profit out of the Review every week. — Fred Hatch^ Scranton, Pa. Please stop our advertisement of mums and geraniums; all sold. — A. BeI/- YEA & Son, Poughkeepsie, N.

Prices are lower than usual, Especially at this season of the year. The lowest price is usually in winter, with periodical advances as spring and summer approach, but this year the advances have not come, ex- cept as periodical recoveries from dips in the market. There is no over-supply of the popular greenhouse sizes, espe- cially of 20-inch glass, but the abund- ance of small commercial glass has operated to disturb the market for all other glass. The trade is just now in- terested in a bond issue of several mil- lions of dollars by the American Win- dow Glass Machine Co., which looks as though the trust were getting ready to go into the manufacture of glass mak- ing machines on a large scale.

Prices are holding up in a surprising manner for this season. Eoses are fair; some Brides and Maids are very fine. Carnations are holding up well but prices are not as high as for- merly. Sweet peas are coming iu better than usual and are selling well. Some large decorations the coming week promise to clear up a large quantity of stock. Bedding plants are in great de- mand and the florists at the market have a busy time these days in filling orders. Various Notes. Great interest is being taken by the general public in the coming flower show. A unique feature will be a display of garden decorations by the school chil- dren, also a display of interior decora- tions for houses. Mr. Kessler, who has the management of the coming show, had charge of the landscape work at the St. Louis Exposition and will use some new ideas. C. A. Shaeflfer, of the Kansas City Floral Co., is making .arrangements toward moving to larger, quarters. D. Freudenthal reports business as very satisfactory. A. Newell is doing a large business at both of his stores. W. J. Barnes reports a fine Easter business and is deep in his planting or- ders. He is rapidly emptying his green- houses. Geo. M. Kellogg, of Pleasant Hill, is sending in some very fine stock and re- ports business in the wholesale line as everything that could be desired. A new flower store will be opened on Main street, we understand. The name of the firm we have not as yet learned but the store they are going to occupy is one of the largest on the street. The market is crowded with growers these days and all are doing good busi- ness. ' Narcissus. MACOMB, ILL. S. T. Danley was arrested May 1 and taken to Peoria by U. S. Deputy Marshal Tripp. The federal grand jury has in- dieted him for illegally making and dis- pensing liquor. The trouble grows out of the manufacture and sale of rhubarb and cherry wine at Mr. Danley 's green- houses. For a long time the revenue of- ficers have been trying to make him pay license, but he has refused on the ground that the business as he conducts it does not require a license.

NURSERY NEWS. AMERICAN ASSOCUTMN OF NURSERYMEN. PreB., B. W. Kirkpatrlck, McKlnney, Tex.; yloe-Pres., C. L. Watroua, Des Moines; Sec'y, Geo. O. Searer, Rochester; Treas., 0. L. Tates. Rochester. The 39th annual eonvenUon will be held at West Baden, Ind., June, 1906. Work & Smith have succeeded Edgar King, landscape architect, Colorado Springs, Colo. There are those who decry the nursery agent but he nevertheless sells the greater part of the stock which is planted each season. Pretty steadily the nurserymen are finding out that the advertisement which does not quote a price is the one they never hear from. The Fairmont Nursery Co., Fairmont, Minn., has been incorporated with $25,- 000 capital stock by Byron E. St. John, Sr., Nina St. John and Victor St. John. jAcs. Smits, of Naarden, Holland, is in New York and has made an arrange- ment with Ealph M. Ward & Co. to rep- resent his nursery interests in the United States. The board of appraisers at New York has just confirmed the invoice value of a shipment of 1,500 three-year Spiraea An- thony Watcrer from Louis LeEoy, An- gers, France, shipped in February and entered at 31.50 francs. Eochester, N. Y.— Vredenburg & Co., horticultural printers, have incorporated with $200,000 capital stock. The incor- porators are Charles W. Vredenburg, Mina M. Vredenburg, Chauncy C. Vreden- burg, John Drechaler, Spencer Arlidge and Howard W. Sneck. There is every indication that the at- tendance at the nurserymen's convention this year will break all records. Certainly the association has never had so good a program. It supplies almost an embar- rassment of riches. The report is general that the call for hardy perennials is heavier this season than ever. This is true at the older sources of supply notwithstanding that this line of stock can now be had at many nurseries where perennials were not handled a couple of years or so ago. Nurserymen are still planting. It has been an unusually long season and has permitted a good clean-up and the putting of things into better shape than for several years. While there are re- ports of surpluses here and there on a number of items, it is a generally very satisfactory season. Harlan P. Kelsey, chairman of the committee, announces another change in the program for the West Baden meet- ing of the American Association of Nur- serymen. For the paper entitled "Plants in Department Stores," by Howard A. Chase, of Philadelphia, is to be substituted one entitled "San Jose Scale Again; the Best Spray," by F. C. Hall, of Maryland. from Germany to plant upon a partly denuded tract of Adirondack land. It is only one of many recent instances showing an awakened sense of the value of forest preservation and culture among the very men who have been its chief enemies. The German spruce is espe- cially valuable for its rapid growth. Some of the more intelligent Adiron- dack lumbermen now follow to advantage the policy of cutting only trees above a certain size, leaving the rest to grow. Great railway companies are planting thousands of acres of forest for the pur- pose of providing ties for the future. In Kansas the commercial cultivation of the catalpa has proved a success. Ten years ago the prospect of saving even a portion of the nation's forest wealth and thus preventing millions of acres of land from becoming a semi- desert waste looked rather discouraging. Today it is possible to report progress. chot, Forester of the United States De- partment of Agriculture and Chief of the Bureau of Forestry, entitled "A Primer of Forestry," which is published in two parts. Part I was issued in 1899, and has passed through several editions, reaching a circulation of about 225,000 copies. It deals with the life of a single tree, with trees as they exist in a forest, with the life of a forest, and with the enemies of the forest. Part II of the Primer has just been published. It deals with "Practical Forestry," the purpose of which is de- fined as "to make the forest render its best service to man in such a way as to increase rather than to diminish'''lts use- fulness in the future." In other words, it means "both the use and the preser- vation of the forest." THE PRIMER OF FORESTRY. As a source of positive information about what forestry really is, and to spread a knowledge of its methods, a book has been prepared by Giflford Pin- CATALOGUES RECEIVED.

King is building a commodious store adjoining his greenhouses, with twenty-four feet of show window, and convenient work room, etc. It will greatly increase his facili- ties for handling his growing business. SEATTLE, WASH. Notes of Easter Demand. A talk with some of the retailers brought out some interesting facts about the Easter trade. Outside of lilies other plants vyere rather slow sale. Spiraeas went begging. The flower is so much like our native varieties, which can be found growing on any vacant lot, that the public passed them up. Hydrangeas sold fairly well and azaleas were about cleaned up. Lilies sold generally at 25 cents per bud and bloom, but some could be bought at 15 cents. One of the large department stores bought in a quantity at 10 cents and sold for 15 cents per bloom. The H. Harrington Co. had an exceptionally fine lot of lilies, by far the best seen here, but as every store had all they could handle a good many were left. Some outdoor flowers, not usually seen in the east, played a promi- nent part in all the church decorations, as well as in the store windows, the native dogwood being used extensively. Branches of this covered with their large, star-shaped blossoms are very effective. The Scotch broom was just opening and was also used to some ex- tent. This shrub was introduced here in the time of the Hudson Bay Fur Co., many years ago. It thrives well and blossoms freely. Another old-fashioned flower was the laburnum, with its hang- ing jianicles of yellow flowers. Club Doings. It was definitely decided at the last regular meeting of the Seattle Florists' Association to hold a chrysanthemum show in November. The preliminary schedule has been arranged by a com- mittee and after being passed on by the club will be put in the hands of the printer. The show is to be open to all growers in the United States and Canada, so that our neighbors at Vic- toria and Vancouver may come over and swell^the entry list and take back some of our easy money. A guarantee fund has been established, the Wood- land Park Floral Co. heading the list with $100. The premium list will be a very liberal one and will be issued in ample time. Various Notes. The Ledges Co., Inc., is the name of a new firm that has leased the L. T. Haas place of 50,000 feet of glass at Bellevue, Wash. This is just across Lake Wash- ington from Seattle and is reached by steamboat in about an hour. They will grow about 20,000 carnation plants, also mums, and their cut will be wholesaled in Seattle. The first steamboats to leave for Nome, Alaska, will carry the usual large consignment of cucumbers and tomatoes, which are grown here in large quanti- ties, under glass, especially for this trade. The price for tomatoes is 25 cents per pound, wholesale. C. W. Scott, of Chicago, is with us. A. B. MENACE OF CHEAP LABOR. A subject of vital interest to the grow- ers of this coast is now being brought to the attention of the nurserymen and wholesale florists and several meetings have been arranged by the principal dealers to consider it. I refer to the tremendous strides being made by the .lapanese growers in all branches of the business. As I mentioned some time ago, they have become a power and having to reckon with them has commenced to worry the wholesalers not a little. It is impossible for an easterner to realize the harmful and disastrous re- sults of these little brown men, whose aim seems only to be to get enough to subsist on and sell their goods accord- ingly. The San Francisco Chronicle has been devoting several columns each day for the past six months, calling the at- tention of the working people to the danger of coolie labor and the damage to many trades that has already resulted by the supplanting of whites by the Jap- anese. This stand which has been so well taken and maintained by our larg- est daily paper has gained the endorse- ment of the labor unions on the coast. The Japs already control all the shoe re- pairing, a large percentage of the smaller restaurants, hundreds of orchards and they are now actively engaged in the growing of cut flowers and greenhouse plants. The real danger lies in the fact that the Japanese never assimilate with the white race; they never become citizens; their only aim is to get together enough money to enable them after a few years to return to Japan and spend the rest of their lives there. Thus it is easy to see that they are undesirable in this or any other line of business. In Japan they exist for a few cents a day and when they arrive in California they adopt the same mode of living, immediately supplant white labor and when it is tak- en into consideration that there are in California already about 75,000 of them FREESIA....

Until within the last few years they had not made any attempt to enter the field of growing flowers, but the success attained by a couple of them has induced others to go into that branch of business and now we have to compete with Jap- anese cheap labor and there is little chance for the white man to live when the Japanese can flourish. As an ex- ample of how they exist I can cite the instance of the town of Alameda, con- taining probably about 14,000 inhabi- tants. It is essentially a residence city and there are many splendid homes there. Ten years ago there were not less than 100 gardeners employed steadily in the various gardens of Alameda and today it would be impossible to find over a dozen. They have been entirely sup- planted by Japs. A short time ago the attention of the health authorities was called to a Japanese boarding house in the town in which forty men were sleep- ing in five small rooms. They were all gardeners and had taken the places of whites who were driven out by cheap la- bor. This is only one instance of many I could relate. They pursue the same course in flower growing, live on almost nothing and un- dersell their white neighbors usually about thirty to fifty per cent. They are patronized by the smaller stores, many of our better class aealers who can read the signs of the times having nothing to i-lncli Pota.

At the May meeting of the Monmouth County Horticultural Society the prizes were presented to the authors of the best essays on "Fruit Culture Under Glass." Percy Hicks received a silver cup as first prize and Harry GriflSths received the society's certificate as second prize. The prize winners on essays on chrys- anthemum culture were announced. Mr. Griflaths received first prize and Joseph Kennedy second. So much time was tak- en up by the business matters of the evening that it was decided to postpone the reading o4 these essays until next meeting, at which time the prizes will be handed to the winners. The first annual rose show of the so- ciety is to be held in Eed Men's hall on June 16. The prize list has been pre- pared, Avith awards for garden roses, also a class for teas and classes for sweet peas and strawberries. A very good ex- hibition is in prospect. JAMAICA, N. Y. On the night of April 20 Henry Grebe, in a moment of mental depres- sion, took his own life. He was a native of Darmstadt, Germany, 53 years of age. He learned the florists' trade at Darmstadt and had a flourishing business prior to his coming to this country some twenty years ago. He entered upon business here and was quite successful as a grower, although his natural inclina- tion was toward machinery and he spent his spare time in building engines, etc., of his own invention for his son. He was of a very nervous disposition and his health had been known to be failing for some time. Eecently he had been inclined to melancholy, but without rea- son, for he was in good circumstances and possessed of a happy home. At the time of his death he was engaged upon extensive alterations upon his green- houses. His wife was a sister of W. C. Krick, of Brooklyn. Two sons are left with her. Salina, Kax. — E. L.

The Maiket It is really diflScult for us to say much about the cut flower market at this writing. After a week of very fluctuat- ing weather the report in general is that cut flower trade is dull, very little doing in any one line except iu the sale of plants, which is reported good by the plantsmen. A great oversupply in cut stock of all kinds is still the report of the wholesalers and very little is bringing anything like average prices, the bulk of the receipts being sold very cheap in large lots. Eoses are of extra fine quality and high in color. Select teas are sold as low as $5 per hundred and fancy Beauties at $3 per dozen. Carnations are coming in fine, but too many for the demand. Ex- tra fancy stock is again down to $3 and common as low as 75 cents per hundred. The market is again flooded with Harrisii and longiflorums. Outdoor val- ley has its effect on the indoor crop. Other bulbous stock is about cut out. Bed peonies are in the market at $4 per hun- dred. Sweet peas are very plentiful in all colors. White and lavender sell best at from 40 to 60 cents per hundred. Smi- lax, fancy ferns, adiantum, asparagus and all other greens are plentiful. Varioisf Notes. The executive committee for the fall flower show met at Mr. Koenig's on May 4 and decided on the dates of the show, which will be the week of November 7. The preliminary list will be out this week and will perhaps be distributed at the club meeting. A place for holding the show had not yet been found. The city council has appropriated $126,397 to the city park department, which Park Commissioner AuU dis- tributed as follows: OflBce of park com- missioner, $11,097; Forest park, $65,000; Benton, $3,000; Carondelet, $10,000; Carr place, $2,000; Forest park boule- vard, $1,000; Fountain, $1,500; Gamble place, $1,000; Gravies park, $1,200; Hyde park, $3,000; Jackson place, $1,- 000; Kendrick garden, $900; Laclede, $1,100; Lyon park, $2,000; O 'Fallon park, $10,000; Eose Hill, $300; St. Louis place, $6,500; South St. Louis place, $800, and Washington square (City Hall), $5,000. Lafayette and Tower Grove parks are not mentioned, as they do not come under the jurisdiction of the city park departments and Messrs. Hunt and Gurney are paid from a sepa- rate fund. It has been reported that Phil Haus- wirth, of Chicago, was in town last week, calling on friends, but we did not see him. Carl Beyer had to do jury duty the past week. He wants some one to tell him why they always come for him dur- ing the busy planting time. Fred C. Weber was busy the past week with funeral work for several so- ciety people who had deaths in their families. Grimm & Gorley report that they are doing nicely in the new store at Sixth and Olive streets, which they recently opened. The great wind, haU and rain storm on Thursday of last week did a great amount of damage to trees throughout the city.

SAVANAH, GA. *' John Wolf's business has been in- creasing in a very satisfactory manner and he now has the largest place in the south, as he recently bought an adjoin- ing piece of property consisting of six acres and has erected on it seventeen greenhouses, amounting to 140,000 square feet of glass, which would be a pretty fair addition for one season even in the big cut flower growing centers, where the business is much better de- veloped than it is in Georgia. Mr. Wolf used cypress and yellow pine in his new range, adopting all the latest improve- ments in regard to ventilating and heat- ing. Six of the new houses, each 22x150, have been planted to. roses. Four houses 22x100 are to -be devoted to carnations and two houses 22x115 are planted with chrysanthemums. A house 36x100 is iised for palms and ferns and there is a high house 22x98 for smilax and aspara- gus. A house 22x162 is used for mis- cellaneous stock, including asters, Har- risii lilies, etc. A propagating house 11x100 is also provided. In addition Mr. Wolf has 500 hotbed sash, under which he grows a variety of stock but largely bulbs, principally Paper Whites and Romans. The adjoin- ing land is planted with such nursery Btock as is needed in the vicinity of a prosperous southern city. A very large number of roses are sold for bedding purposes. The city water system is used in both houses and field and is very satis- factory. Mr. Wolf does both a wholesale and re- tail business. He began with only a few hotbed sash and has every reason to feel proud of what he has achieved. He is certainly one of the most progressive florists of the south. MENTION US TO ADVERTISERS.

Benjamin Gingrich died very suddenly on May 2 of dropsy, at the age of 62 years. Mr. Gingrich was born April 2, 1843, near Hamburg, Ontario, and came to South Bend in October, 1865. He was married June 21, 1866 to Elizabeth Beyler of Bremen, Ind.

Besides his wife he leaves two sons, Ed- ward W. and Irving, also an adopted daughter, tliree brothers and two sisters. ORANGE, N. J. The regular monthly meeting of the New Jersey Floricultural Society was held on May 5. Orchids of extraordinary merit w^re shown by Julius Eoehrs, William Barr and Henry Graves.

CZNCINNATL The Market We are in the midst of the worst glut of the season. The quantity of roses and carnations that are coming in is simply awful and there is not a ghost of a show to get anything like a price out of them. While this is the usual time of the year for a glut, and we expect it, yet it was made much worse this year because of the strike in Chicago. Many of the regular consignors to the Chicago market have been shipping here and the ma- jority of them might have done better to have dumped their cut at home. The weather is warm and outside of a few small weddings nothing at all is do- ing. Roses and carnations were offered at the buyers' own price; $5 per thou- sand was not unusual. The warm weather is having its effect upon the quality of the stock. Brides and Maids are getting smaller every day. Beauties went better than anything else but at very low prices. They open very fast now. Lilies of all kinds have been equally plentiful and sell very low. Some good outdoor tulips sell well, also outdoor valley. Many other kinds of outdoor flowers are in. IJlac is about done for. Green goods go very slowly, with th^ exception of smilax. Southern ferns are beginning to arrive but they are a little soft yet. Various Notes. It is expected that there will be a goodly number of members present at the Florists' Society meeting on Satur- day night. Stand rents in the Jabez Elliott Flower Market are now due and the holders are fast paying up. All report a prosperous year and especially good trade in bed- ding plants at the present time. Charles Jones has discontinued his Avondale store for the present. Owing to a cleaning establishment next door, flowers would not keep. As soon as a good location can be secured he intends to start up again. Cape jasmine is coming in from the south but it moves slowly. Visitors: Miss Bessie Martin, Hunt- ington, W.

They produce the most satisfactory results at a reasonable cost. . THEY ARE NOT THE CHEAPEST. We will sell you bargain bulbs at bargain prices however, if you want them. You can buy a bulb for ten cents and you can buv a bulb for five cents, but you can't buy a ten cent bulb for five cents and don't forget it. GOOD QUALITY. / There is no business where quality tells more. The quality of the flowers you send out determines the reputation you establish for your business. A good reputation is your best advertisement. Good advertising pays. REMEMBER. The first cost of bulbs is small — it's the growing that costs — why waste time, heat, valuable space, labor, etc., on poor stock ? — and the disappointment. It is false economy to buy bulbs of doubtful quality. ^_^ FOB PBZCES Oir KOBBESKOE BBAES WBZTE TOIUS.

Now that the season for Wild Smilax is over and no more stock can be supplied. I wish to call your attention to the Branches of the Huckleberry Tree as a most elegrant Decorative Green. It is largely used by the Florists of the Pacific Coast. Washington and Oregon in decorations. The branches are FLAT, very thickly furnished with exceedingly lustrous, green leaves, and it seems to adapt itself to almost any position in decoration that the Wild Smilax can be used in. As the introducer of South- em Wild Smilax, I think you can give me credit for know- ing a good thing when I sec if, and I am convinced that in Huckleberry Branches you will have a very beautiful substitute for the Wild Smilax, of great value to you through the months of May and June. I am anxious to get the verdict of the Floral trade on this introduction and offer to send you a Case on Suspicion, price S2.50 per case if it suits you, nothing if it does not.

Memorial day will soon be here and it brings a busy time. Not only do our customers want their vases filled in the cemeteries, but there is often the desire expressed: "I want our flower beds and veranda boxes filled by Decoration day." Those who do what we call a cemetery business, and fill 300 or 400 vases, know what a laborious business it is. Some years ago there were several kinds of vases and baskets used for this purpose. There were cast-iron vases, wire baskets or stands and rustic baskets. Now there are few of any kind but the iron vases and they certainly have the best ap- pearance, as well as being practically everlasting. A coat of paint annually and they are always new. We think there is rather too much sameness in the painting. Ninety-five or more per cent are painted white. While any gaudy color would be quite out of place, if more were painted a deep green and others a stone color it would relieve the monot- ony. Time was when we used to send wag- ons loaded with plants and other wagons with soil and a gang of men and attempt to fill fifty vases in a day. We have got over that, for there was too much waste of material. Plants were broken and wilted and the battered plants that came back made too big an item. There are a few old-fashioned iron vases and, of course, some large stone vases that have to be filled at the cemeteries, but nearly all iron vases are of the reservoir type and the top, or bowl, can be lifted off and brought to the greenhouse and much more satisfactorily filled. The work can be done much better, with no waste of plants, and you have the contents of the whole greenhouses at your back. There may be a little more teaming this way, but, all things considered, it is by far the better plan. Don't Procrastinate. Another weakness we used to have was to try to persuade people to wait until a day or two after Decoration day. That is a big mistake. Don't put off for an hour anything that can be donef now, for the first ten days of June find us as busy as on Easter Saturday. We never considered that there was much piargin of profit in this vase filling business, yet a change in style of late years has been somewhat in our favor. Ten years ago, with few exceptions, the vases were filled with a mixture of plants, with vines around the edge. Often have we counted the plants and found that at wholesale prices they would cost as much as we got for the filling, soil, moss and labor thrown in. But remember that in those cases we largely used what we had and so cleaned up on everything, and that makes a won- derful difference. Did you ever think of the difference in the profits of a place where all the stock is in salable shape and the benches emptied and one where one-third or one- half the plants, for some reason or other, arcf left unsold? It is the difference be- tween success and failure. Every foot of your bench room must yield you some profit. If it does not, it has dragged down the profit of the space that did pay- Too Much Red. But to return to the vases. The great majority ar^ now filled with one kind of plant, mostly geraniums. There are sev- eral reasons for that. They are always in bloom, are neat and compact and do not suffer from a little neglect of water. They make a bright, gay spot. S. A. Nutt is such an admirable variety for this purpose that it is overdone. The fine for the purpose. A mixture of droop- ing plants for the edge is not at all suit- able for a geranium vase. The green vinca is good for the scarlets and the variegated vinca for the pink and salmon shades. A dwarf white geranium is fine for Mrs. Perkins and Mme. Salleroi is often wanted as an edging for Nutt, A combination that many want is a pink geranium for the center with an edging of the pink ivy-leaved geranium. Other Good Material. Large vases are sometimes filled with dwarf, free-flowering cannas of one va- riety, such as Tarrytown, The Express, or Souvenir de Antoine Crozy. Large stone vases are sometimes filled with Caladium esculentum but these vigorous rooting plants should never be used in combination with other plants, for they quickly starve them out. Begonias of the Vernon type make pretty vases and where there is some shade during the hottest hours we have filled vases with tuberous-rooted begonias, and rich and choice they look. I don't pretend to have exhausted the list of available plants for this purpose, but always recommend the filling to be 1^ >!*-►■». The Hydrangea is the Popular Memorial Day Plant. individual lot-owner may be charmed with his brilliant mass of scarlet blooms, but when there are forty similar ones within 100 yards, the effect is not pleas ant. There should be more pink, white and salmon. Beaute Poitevine, Mrs. Frances Perkins and John Doyle are all of one kind of plant. There is more profit for you and it is sure to be more satisfactory to your patron. If your customer wants scarlet geraniums, it will have to be so, but encourage variety.

May 18, 1905. the dead, but the generally pleasing ap- pearance of the whole grounds. Mixed Plants. If the mixed vase is still preferred, there is considerable choice of material. For a center plant there is nothing equal to that cast-iron plant, Dracaena indivisa. It not only exists but it grows and en- dures the fierce sun and drying winds. Then there are the zonal geraniums, col- eus, achyranthes, variegated geraniums, Begonia Vernon, aialypha, Boston fetn, centaurea, fuchsias (in the shade), pe- tunias, etc. About the only palm that would be good for a center plant in place of the dracsena would be the phoe- nix. They will stand the sun and the wind. It is neither fair nor wise to put in plants that will make a fine show for a week or two and then be out of bloom for the whole summer. Such plants as the white feverfew or show pelargonium will not do, or any plant whose season of flowering is short. Nearly every ceme- tery has situations where any plants will thrive and other bleak, windy positions where only the hardiest plants will pre- serve a decent appearance. This must be studied. Drooping Plants. All these mixed vases will want an assortment of drooping plants and there are very few really good ones. Some that may thrive and flower in a shel- tered, partly shaded place! will look like rats' tails in a few weeks if exposed to the winds and starred for root room. The English ivy will remain just where you put it, but in a vase is not grace- ful. The vincas are truly the best of all. Then there is the ivy geranium, Abutilon vexillarium, double sweet alyssum, money vine, senecio (often called Ger- man ivy), lobelias, maurandia, nastur- tium, etc. There are two splendid climb- ing plants, both excellent for this pur- pose, but seldom seen becaiise tbey are neglected in the winter, in fact, often lost, viz., Ipomoea Mortonii and Pilogyne sua vis.. Don't Crowd the Plants. Now, if you are a beginner at the la- borious vase business, remember that you crowd into a space of two feet in diameter or less, as many plants as would about properly fill a 6-foot bed. Therefore the soil should be of the best. In addition to manure, use a 6-inch pot of bone flour to every wheielbarrow of soil and be sure to get the soil firmly and compactly down between the balls of the plants. Let each plant be well firmed in its place. We cover the surface of the soil with green moss. It keeps the soil from washing off, prevents some drying out of the soil and when the roots reach it they thrive in it. One thing more. When you start a young man filling these vases, your stock is abundant and he wants to make a nice looking job and crowds in your fine geraniums. Now, with these early filled vases there is no need to crowd, for they will soon fill up and be all the better for a little room to spread. Save your plants, for there are lots of belated or- ders coming along until July 4. Then you would be glad of the plants you so lavishly used when they were plentiful, and it is the late filled vases that need crowding, if any. We like to water the vases we fill and if you water several hundred at $2 or $2.50 each for the season it does not seem a large charge for the individual, but it will be found a better paying op- eration tnan the charge for filling and you have the opportunity to care for your own work. Veranda Boxes. There is a good deal being said of late about window boxes. We noticed just twenty years ago the coming summer, in England, that the window box was great- ly in vogue in the windows of houses of moderate pretensions, and conspicuous in all those boxes were, two gay colors that we in this country are deprived of, the shrubby yellow calceolaria and the blue lobelia. The former is absolutelj' useless here and the latter goes out of flower in a short time. The window box has been used in this country in the modest homes for many years, but never in pretty detached resi- dences. Their gardening embellishment has been the veranda box, and fifteen to twenty years ago it was in the height of its favor. I feel sure I am within bounds by stating that no other city in the Union used so many thousand feet of these ornamental arrangements as the city of Buffalo. It began some thirty years ago. We have lived through its birth, its days of glory and, I am sorry to say, almost its "decline and fall," al- though it has by no means quite fallen. There are perhaps not 100 feet filled now to 1,000 feet ten years ago. Nearly all the houses on residence streets stand back from the property line from twenty-five to fifty feet and are all detached and seldom a fence of any kind. This latter fact wonderfully sur- prised Mr. Goldring, of the London Gar- den, on a visit here. He was surprised that there was not all kinds of trespas- sing and vandalism going on. There is nothing of the kind. Perhaps if there were a big fence and a bull dog inside there might be some attempt at tres- passing. These residents object to the little stretch of lawn being cut up for flower beds, preferring to view the restful green sward and a clump of flowering shrubs or a few small growing trees. So on the verandas they placed boxes filled with flowering and ornamental plants, with drooping vines. Some houses on front and side verandas had as much as 100 lineal feet of boxes and fifty feet was common. It was not your own em- bellishment you enjoyed as you sat on your veranda, for you looked over that and admired the beauty of your neigh- bor's across the street. And for thel passerby on the shaded avenue it was beauty the whole way along. I know of no good reason why many have given up their veranda boxes, except that they desired a change, got a little tired and in many cases for the trivial leason that the wooden boxes rotted out and they did not trouble to get new ones. There is no style of gardening which will make a street more beautiful and wel trust the taste for it will again come around. A Good Style of Box. If we were asked to supply the boxes, as we have thousands of feet in the) past, we should have them made of cy- press and painted deep green, or the color of the veranda. A good size is ninel inches wide at the top and eight inches at the bottom and six inches deep. Let the front splay an inch outward. This is all inside measure. As these boxes are much better filled at the greenhouses, they should not be too long. A box of the size mentioned and six feet long is a good lift for two men. Don't forget a few holes in the bottom for drainage. The beauty of these veranda boxes is that invariably they flourish and grow. They can be watered faithfully and are seldom exposed to hard winds. The drooping vines are a most important part. The boxes themselves should never be visible. After a few weeks' growth they should be covered with a drooping curtain of green vines. The soil should be rich, but rank growth of such plants as coleus should be kept in check or they smother the geraniums. An Easter Plant Receptacle Originated by C H. Fox, Philadelphia. IfAT 18, 1905. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 1573 Plants to Use. There are plants for every situation and often these boxes are shaded most of the day by the stately elm on the avenuef. We have filled some with Begonia Rex, others with Boston ferns. If sunny, then everybody likes color and there is noth- ing like the gay geranium. Unlike the vases, a mixture for the boxes is prefer- able to a mass unless it be a very shady situation and the drooping greenery is the chief beauty. Such a box as described, filled with or- dinary-plants, should be worth 75 cents per running ifoot, exclusive of the box, which made of cypress and painted, should be worth 35 cents per lineal foot. Encourage the veranda box. There is nothing, except the beautiful trees, which will better embellish our residence streets.

It was the idea of Mr. Fox to depart as far as possible from conventionality, and he seems certainly to have succeeded, at the same time retaining the artistic qualities. GROUPING OF PLANTS. The grouping of plants is an interest- ing but neglected study. It should be given as much care and thought as the displaying of cut flowers. Instead of that thought and care, when plant dis- plays are to be arranged it seems to be born into human nature to imme- diately and invariably measure out rows and bring every pot in line with the mark, with a generous addition of all the colors in and out of the rainbow, well mixed. To begin with, such an arrange- ment is often thought necessary on ac- coimt of having no background worthy of the name. Now, a background is just as important as the plant display itself and it may make or ruin a fine efl'ect. For the display illustrated there were first placed as a background a number of Porto Rican mats in plain, olive green and one lighter green mixed with white in an indistinct pattern. The lat- ter kind were tacked along the wall above the two long shelves where the plants were to be displayed. The darker mats were spread out over the shelves, some straight and some cornerwise, till the surface was covered and also the space beneath to the floor. These mats made a clean, soft background for the group of plants to be arranged for display. Of these plants there was quite a variety, as is often necessary in a retail store. Longiflorum lilies, rubber plants, Asparagus plumosus, Boston ferns. Crim- son Ramblers, white geraniums, a ken- tia, Hermosa, Kaiserin and Ideal roses and light scarlet geraniums, a problem in color, sure enough. The first act was to clear out the scarlet geraniums in a side group by themselves. The second move was to group the lilies after the style shown in the illustration, show- ing each plant individually and yet mak- ing each stand in a relation to the whole group, which suggests mildly the form of a crescent. Within the center of the group above there appears a Boston fern in a matting cover and to the right an Asparagus plumosus tipped forward. To the right outside of the line of lilies are two rubber plants and another Boston fern. Inside of the circle backed by lilies and bordered in front by the white gera- niums, are the Crimson Ramblers. This marked contrasting of the color intensi- fies both the crimson and the white, which advantage, of course, does not appear in the picture. The Hermosa, Ideal and Kaiserin roses all being harmonious col- ors, are placed together within the left side of the crescent. The intervening space toward the center is comfortably tilled with the white geraniums and a few more of the plumosus plants. There were only a few pot covers used, and those few included but one of each kind. A brown basket cover may be seen around a lily jar, one lavender striped Porto Rican mat tied with a purple cord covers the Boston fern near the cen- ter, and an inconspicuous green jardin- iere guiltless of any decoration except gold handles, is barely visible on the right.

"decoration, that which adorns, some- thing added by way of embellishment," was not in harmony with the sentiment of the occasion, and adopted formal reso- Intion substituting "Memorial" as in keeping with the purpose of the day. But Memorial day no longer belongs to the old soldier and the families of those who have answered the last roll call. Not that their memory is honored less but that the custom of remembering the dead with flowers is so fine a one that it has been generally adopted by the people. Since this has come to pass Me- morial day has become of prime impor- tance to the trade. Nowadays everyone who has loved ones in the silent cities wants flowers on the 30th of May and the quantities of cut flowers sold ex- ceeds even Christmas or Easter. Natur- ally the call is in most instances for low priced flowers but at this season cost is also low and the opportunity for profit is as good as on the other important flower days. Preceding Memorial day the plantsmen who handle bedding stock are rushed to the limit but the day itself, unlike Christmas and Easter, calls for few flowering plants. It is a cut flower day and one which should be fostered by the trade. Don't let a customer go out of your store because your prices are beyond the would-be buyer's means. FOR MEMORIAL DAY. Flags and the national colors in some form or other immediately suggest them- selves to us on mention of Memorial (lay. Both as a celebration and as a trade getter, let "Old Glory" in silk, bunting, or flowers, appear in the show window a week ahead of Memorial day. There will be no time at the eleventh hour for window decorating, anyhow, and a window that is worth having need not grow stale in a week's time. Since the jasmine is so largely a Me- morial day flower, suspend a wreath of them overhead in the window. Draw a large flag through the wreath. Spread out the larger end so that it will drape easily and loosely, and attach the upper corner to some convenient point. Let the lower end form a streamer on the oppo- site side of the wreath. Fill in the win- dow below solid with blue and white pan- sies and blue ageratums. Other suggestions: Make a miniature "Monitor" in the bed of the window; historical pictures of the "Yankee Cheese Box" can be easily copied for this pur- pose. Float it if possible, and finish the sides of the tank of water with sheet moss. Fill the "cheese box" with long- stemmed flowers in red, white and blue. Group on a small stand in the window an old army coat or cape, faded thougli it be; a canteen, and a generous bunch of scarlet and white carnations. Put in as many carnations as the canteen will hold in water and suspend it with blue ribbon. Fill the window seat with daisies in bloom sprinkled with blue ageTatum and dark red sweet peas. Fill an old drum with long-stemmed red, white and blue flowers. Have a fife conspicuously on the front of the drum, and set off the group with a flag drap- ery beneath. Longiflorum or candidum lilies in pots in two good-sized groups on opposite sides of the window, will combine nicely with an immense cobweb made of nar- row red and blue ribbon among the tops of the lilies. Now, when wood fern leaves are off quality, is a good time to cultivate the use of extra foliage with its own flower. Rose foliage can always be had, and to make a flat cluster of roses more easily seen, place quite a bushy mat of rose foliage down as a foundation and lay the bunch on it. Treat carnations the same on Sprengeri or plumosus. Boston fern fronds with snapdragons is a pleasing introduction. For a new- made grave large flat bunches of ferna form a good covering without undue ex- pense, and flowers in vases or flat bunch- es can be used above with much better effect. As to ties for flat bunches, a square dou- ble bow, or two loops with long streamers are all very well, but we might as well have a change once in a while. Try a brisk rosette of chiffon and ribhi^n mixed, or a flat rosette, or a cluster of short bows of No. 3 ribbon, or abatterfiy bow, which is an ordinary square bow of chiffon with the bows and ends stuck straight up and tied tight in their up- right position with baby ribbon. One yard does it, and the place it looks best is on a wreath among delicate flowers like sweet peas.

Nevertheless, retail florists are gradually coming to see the light in this respect. There are those who be- lieve that anything in the nature of pub- licity detracts from the "tone" of their establishment, and this may be true if the advertising is of the common sort, but it applies to only a few high class stores and to only such as have no thought of growth save a growth in keeping with the increasing wealth of their patrons. This is too slow a growth to suit the average young man in the flower trade. One of the most active advertisers in the business is the Geo. Wittbold Co., Chicago. For years they have pushed their wholesale department by liberal use of printer's ink and have built up the largest decorative plant business in the west. They conduct three retail stores in connection with their whole- sale business and have steadily been add- ing to their sales in this department by the use of the same advertising plans which are used by other lines of busi- ness, of course with such changes as are necessary to fit the florists'trade. This was the first concern bar the west to employ tastefully color-^nted signs in the street cars operating in that sec- tion of the city in which their stores are located. This served to give their name familiarity to large numbers of people. Then, too, they tried advertis- ing in the daily papers and also in the monthly magazines. The Wittbold stores are located in the resident dis- tricts, w^re they are accessible to only a small part of the people in so big a city, and it was soon evident that the daily newspaper advertising did not pay. The cost was too high when one considers that only a small part of the circulation of the paper was of value to its adver- tiser. Louis "Wittbold, the secretary of the Wittbold Co., says that because they did not find daily newspaper advertis- ing to be profitable in their case, it is no sign it would not pay a florist with equal facilities and a location in the center of the city. As to advertising for country trade through the use of such papers as the Ladies' Home Journal, they found that the responses were im- mediate and very numerous, but the inquiries were for catalogues or for in- formation and little money came in. Then again, they found that the in- quiries came from localities in which they had wholesale customers and they did not care to follow them up on that account. Therefore this plan of adver- tising was discontinued. This spring the Wittbold Co. has put a number of large street signs along the electric car lines in that part of the eity in which their stores are located. One of these signs is shown in the ac- companying illustration. They are painted on billboards eight feet high and twenty to twenty-five feet long. Chicago has a number of companies op- erating these boards and painting really attractive signs. On a contract of ordi- nary amount they paint the sign and maintain it at a charge of 50 cents per month for each lineal foot. These signs have already served to attract much at- tention to the Wittbold establishments. It is the first time they have been used by a florist. The Wittbold Co. has an addresso- graph list of many thousands of names of people located in the neighborhood of their stores. Every few weeks they get up some attractive printed matter to mail to these names. It costs them much more in proportion to the people reached than does any other form of ad- vertising, but by having the names care- fully selected it is pretty certain that the people reached are interested. The experience is that no direct results are seen unless a definite proposition is con- tained in the printed matter. For in- stance, advertising the cut flower de- partment brings only indirect returns; that is, it brings orders at somef future time when the people addressed are in need of floral designs or similar service. But when the offer is a definite one, as for instance, the planting of a stated number of red geraniums in a flower bed for a certain price, the response is im- mediate, two telephones being necessary to the handling of their business. In the past month of April the total of sales was larger than in any previous month, and the business goes back to 1856. WOOD LICE OR SOW BUGS. Will you kindly let me know through the Eeview the best way to get rid of sow bugs, as they are doing me much damage? A. W. Take your choice of names; they are both elegant. If you do not want to use poison, get some large potatoes, cut in halves and scoop out the inside. Lay these piecea about and the sow bugb will creep under them to feed and roost and in the morning you will find them there. Rutabagas are even better than potatoes. Brown sugar mixed with one- tenth of its bulk of arsenic and a small quantity placed on the beds or benches on pieces of shingles or chips will soon rid you of these pests. You should re- move the poison when watering or the sugar will melt and be no longer at- tractive. W. S. Sycamore, 0. — Mrs. T. G. Babcock will add one greenhouse 20x50 feet this summer.

I have a neighbor who grows them stout and short and still he does not have his farther apart on the bench than mine. Could there be a difference in the fertilizer? I use well rotted horse ma- nue and I think he uses cow manure. As I take special interest in geraniums, I am anxious to get information about their culture, particularly how to keep them from running up tall. H. C. O. Thete is nothing wrong with your fer- tilizer. Most likely you use too much manure and too light a soil. A stiflF, fresh loam and not more than one-fifth of manure is the thing, and pot firmly. Light and tempefature will have much to do with the growth of your geran- iums. They at all times want the full- est light and air on all possible occa- sions. Young plants that are for sum- mer bedding should not be kept at over 45 degrees at night during winter and in dark weather they should be kept rather dry. About February 1 they should be grown enough to need the top pinched out, or maybfe a cutting taken off. Our zonal geraniums flower more than we wish for in April and May and we have to keep the buds picked off. You must be growing them too rich and too warm. W. S. ,^.i*^<^»#*«^y*^'*"r '«>»."« POTS VERSUS BENCHES. For Growing Exhibition Flowers. There has the past year or two been a reaction with some of the best exhibi- tion growers in regard to bench culture for exhibition blooms, the claim today being, and apparently with good reason, that deeper, better finished flowers can be produced from pots and an increasing number are being grown in this manner. For general cutting and commercial cul- ture, there is no question but that the bench method is the better way, since not nearly so much water and care is needed and the question of supports, etc., is more easily disposed of. But when we get down to growing the very finest flowers, which have to be fed to the limit and handled as carefully as possi- ble, it is another story. In pots every plant gets its individual treatment, since the roots are confined and a plant that has reached the stage where feeding is not necessary need not be watered with liquid, whereas in a bench discrimination is well nigh out of the question. Anyone who has ever carefully turned over the soil in a chrysanthemum bench after the crop has been cut has seen the roots running for yards along the bottom of the bench, and this shows very plainly how useless it is to try to dis- criminate when feeding plants in a bench, where different kinds are growing together. Another big advantage when the plants are in pots is in being able to move them about at will. When the flowers are de- veloping, if it is seen that they are com- ing along too quickly they can be moved to a cellar, or some other dark place, and held back for several weeks. Also with varieties that are predisposed to damp- ing of the petals (and most varieties are affected more or less in this manner when heavily fed) pot culture has an advantage because the roots can be kept much drier and there will be less mois- ture in the atmosphere. Several methods of growing are used that may be said to be intermediate be- tween pots and benches. Thus one noted grower I am acquainted with, partitions his benches off into sections a foot wide and four feet long, planting one variety in each section. This seems to work well with him since he manages to capture his share of prizes every year. Others grow in boxes made large enough to hold from four to six plants and I may say that the finest flowers I ever grew were pro- duced in thisjnanner, but the idea is the same with all these different ways, and that is restricted root action. Why a plant should produce a heavier, deeper flower when grown in this restrict- ed manner I do not pretend to say, but the fact remains that it does. Many fruits, notably tomatoes, produce much more freely when pot bound and I pre- sume the same rule works in the case of the chrysanthemum, checking some- what its exuberance of growth and di- verting its energies to the flower more directly, as bearing on its reproductivfl organs. For those who want to try this pot method I would not recommend a larger pot than 8-inch and the plants should be growing in these as soon as possible now. Use a soil that has lots of turf fibre in it, because such a soil does not sour in a pot and the roots love to cling to the lumps of fibre. Bone meal may be added with advantage and also a little clay fertilizer and the soil in the final potting should be made very solid, so as to keep a stocky, short-jointed growth on the plant. Plants on Benches. Those growers who are compelled to grow in benches, or prefer to do so, should get in their plants now as soon as possible if they are figuring on grow- ing for exhibition, as there is no ques- tion but that the longer season of growth is all in favor of the plants. Early planted stock should not be set out closer than nine inches by eight, and even wider than this would not be too much. Give the tall growers the most head room. Tha catalogue description generally notes the height more or less, so one can get an idea from that. Among the tallest grow- ers are T. Eaton, Gen. Hutton, Henry Barnes, S. T. Wright and Ben Wells, while Alice Byron, Cheltoni, Donald Mc- Leod, Nellie Pockett and others will not exceed three feet in height. A little forethought at planting time will mean much less work later on. I never did like having to pull down the plants from the glass, because, outside of the work entailed, I do not think that the flowers open 80 well after the stem has been tied down. Eight feet of head room is not one bit too much to allow for the tall growers, and if you cannot do this, pinch the tops off at once, which will' take a foot or two off the height next fall. C. H. TOTTT. THE PLANTING SEASON. Disposing of Old Plants. With the planting plans complete and everything in readiness for that work, general planting can be started imme- diately after Memorial day trade is past. In order to make as much out of the old plants as possible, it will pay to ad- vertise and sell them at a reasonable price for planting outside. These old plants, especially of Beauties, Kaisering, Chatenay and Meteor, make excellent bloomers during the summer and if prop- erly handled and cared for during the winter are good for years to come and, as they have to be thrown out anyhow, if they can be disposed of at a figure that will pay for the work and leave a margin it is like money found. June planting has, in my experience, proved the most profitable and the plant- ing should be pushed along so that by July 4 every rose should be benched, thus securing the best part of the sum- mer, when growth is at its best. Qeansing the Houses. When the old soU has been remove*! from the benches and all repairs pade, :.">/,/. .'■>_'.."7'-r.': ,.•'■'*•" •■ ■ ■ ,. -.i ,;<;•<-'■ -\'T, Mat 18, 1906. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 1577 the house should get a thorough clean- ing, washing the benches, walls and roof, as there is always more or less of an ac- cumulation of scum and dirt from the last year, which, if not removed while the house is empty, is rather a difficult job after the planting is done. All benches made of wood should be thoroughly washed and should then re- ceive a good coating of hot lime wash. This, while acting as a preservative to the wood, is a great help in destroying insects and their eggs. One grower of note tells me that he uses about one- fifth sulphur with the lime and assures me that this is a good preventive against mildew and other fungous troubles. Whether this is so I cannot say, never having experimented with it, but as it is inexpensive and does not endanger the plants, it may be worth a trial where these pests are troublesome. Filling the Beaches. "When filling the benches the soil should be spread evenly all over and each bar- row-load thoroughly broken up, so that it may settle evenly with the subsequent watering. It has been my practice for years to add whatever bone flour was necessary at planting time. This is done by simply spreading the bone flour on the surface, without stirring it in, as we find that sufficient of the bone for the present needs of the plants will fall around the ball during the operation of planting, while the subsequent stirring of the sur- face and watering will carry the re- mainder within reach of the roots, thus liberating the gases slowly but quite quickly enough for the use of the young plants. Plantine the Benches. The bench being ready, the young stock should be handled and planted with the same interest and care it has been re- ceiving since propagating time. How frequently do we see the young stock roughly handled and hustled into the soil with as little ceremony as if they were so many coleus, without regard to any of the rules governing the planting of rose stock, all of which must be to the detriment of such sensitive subjects. The plants should be carefully turned out of the pots, disturbing the balls just as little as possible, not even removing the drainage, and should be planted firmly, just sufficiently deep to cover the balls and leaving a small depression around the neck of the plant to receive the water. They should then be slowly watered to prevent the formation of mud, as this is detrimental to the health of the plant. Each plant should be watered individually for a Aveek or so until the roots begin to spread and should be syringed frequently during bright weather to keep the atmosphere charged with sufficient moisture to en- courage leaf development. The same regularity and care in at- tending to ventilation, fumigation and temperature are just as necessary after- flanting as when the young stock was in OtS. ElBES. Sabula, Ia..— Wm. B. Lovell was burned out May 12, for the second time he ha9 lost his home in a year and a half. He was insured but not heavily enough to cover the loss. STANDARD VARIETIES. What are the best standard varieties of carnations in pink, white and red? Are Lady Bountiful, Nelson Fisher and Indianapolis superior to the standard sorts ? I mean, are they the most healthy and profitable kinds? T. F. The question, which are the best va- rieties to grow, if submitted to a dozen growers, might bring odt a dozen dif- ferent replies. Varieties do not behave the same in different soils and climates and occasionally you will run across a variety doing grandly for a few growers and no good at all for anybody else. There are a few varieties, however, that are considered good everywhere, and their profitableness depends entirely on the tre£^tment they receive. In recommend- ing varieties to be grown in quantity we must of course stick mostly to varieties that have been on the market several years and which therefore have been tried pretty well all over the country, in different soils and under different methods of culture. But every season we get a few new varieties that will in time displace the older ones and it pays the grower well to buy these in limited quantity at least and find out as early as possible whether they will do well for him, under his culture and on his soil. In many cases one season will be sufficient to establish a variety's value, but in many cases a second season's trial will be necessary and a variety that was extra fine wKh the originator should not be discarded on the strength of one season's trial. The trouble lies most likely with the grower and not with the variety. Among the older white varieties the most generally profitable ones are Flora Hill. White Cloud, Queen Louise, Boston Mar- ket and Lorna, but far superior to these are the recent introductions. Lady Boun- tiful, the best of them all. White Lawson, The Belle and Vesper. In light pink Morning Glory and Mrs. Higinbotham \\ere largely grown but Enchantress has put them all out of the running as a va- riety that is easy to do and very profit- able. We grow only it and Beatrice, a variety of our own, in this color except some seedlings in limited quantity. In deep pink all agree that Mrs. Law- son stands on top. When handled prop- erly it is free and strong, the blooms are of high quality and they will stand more handling than any other carnation. It is the ideal oommission-house carnation. Nelson Fisher was "touted" to displace Lawson, but there was something wrong with the "dope." The color is much darker, bordering on a carmine, which alone prevents it from hurting Lawson. The variety Indianapolis is a production of our own and I may be prejudiced, but on the other hand I know its peculiar- ities all the way through and will give our experience. Up to the time of dis- semination we firmly believed that it would become the leading variety in pink and growers who saw it here said the same thing, but we have since found sev- eral faults that will stand in its way of taking the place of Lawson, but it has several points that make it a very desir- able variety under certain conditions. Its blooms will not stand the handling that Mrs. Lawson will. Therefore, it will not do for commission-house growers, but for those who sell direct to the public or those who ship to the retailer it will hold up as good as any. The pet- als are naturally cupped and I might say ruffled and knocking the blooms around makes this more pronounced. It keeps well, however, outside of taking on this sleepy ap|)earance. It will outbloom any variety we know of during the win- ter months and is therefore very profit- able to grow. The blooms come as large as Lawson for us and retail for the same price. The plants in the field need to be kept topped back very close on account of its tendency to run to bud. We will grow only this and Lawson in quantity next season. Floriana is a pretty shade of pink but is not in the same class as the above two as regards profit. Nelson is too shy during the winter and Joost is too small. In scarlet Crane and America are both grown largely, though Estelle is fa- vored by some. We grow Crane for early winter, until after Christmas. After that date we depend on our Flambeau, as it is free from that sleepiness of Crane. There are several scarlets coming now for which great things are promised and we hope to get one or two that will rank with the best in the other colors. It seems that all through the scarlet class there runs that sleepy tendency in warm weather. In crimson Harlowarden and Harry Fenn divide the honors; some prefer the one while others pick the other. We grow Harlowarden. We grow no variegated, but Mrs. Pat- ten is conceded to be the best in that class. Prosperity is not generally consid- ered profitable to the grower. The above list embraces the best va- rieties on the market, but it will pay you to be constantly on the lookout and to devote a bench or two every season to the new varieties that are offered. Not near all of them will turn out good but you will pick up a good one every now and then that will pay for all the loss on the poor ones. A. F. J. Baub. CARNATION COMPOST. Please give me your judgment about using one-fourth violet soil used one year and three-fourths fresh soil for car- nations. Or would you use a fresh com- post of one-fourth manure to three- fourths sod stacked up last fall ? Which would be likely to give the best results? F. A. V. I cannot see why you hesitate between the two lots of soil. Certainly the sod mixed with one-fourth manure is the proper thing to use. The one-fourth vio- let soil would not add a single bit to the 1578 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ Mat 18, 190G. value of the soil and it might be a great detriment to it. The sod and manure heap should be turned over as soon now as you can do it, to break it up and let the air into it. It will rot better, too. A. F. J. Baur. CARNATION NOTES.-EAST. General Remarks. With the rush of Easter and press of work in planting in the field closely fol- lowing, carnation growers have expe- rienced a strenuous period. Memorial day is next in order, when the season may be said to be over. On this occa- sion the call is more for quantity than quality and on this account it may be best to continue for a short time some sorts whose room is thought to be worth more than their company. After the first of June those varieties which are badly lacking in vigor, dis- eased, or infected with insect pests, are best thrown out and burned. Those giving promise of satisfactorj' returns during the summer should re- ceive a thorough cleaning and the soil lightly raked preparatory to receiving a mulch. It is not to be expected that prices ■will be high from this on but it is the better grades of bloom that move quickly, while the "rubber necks" and culls fur- sod and manure in such a way as to utilize the good qualities of both. We like the plan of building a long pile in alternate layers of sod and man- ure, finishing top flat and about shoulder high. Do not be afraid to use fresh manure. My experience has been that most manure is too rotten. After laying three or four weeks the pile should be cut down and thrown back. See to it when this is done that it is cut clear to the ground and thrown well back. Often times as work proceeds the two piles run together and the finish is but a lick and a promise. The addition of air-slaked lime will fa- cilitate decomposition, thus rendering many ingredients more available. 1 would not advise the use of bone meal at this time.

We are sending specimen blooms of Mrs. Lawson carnation and would like to know what is wrong. The night tem- perature has been 52 degrees, but at Christmas we did run it at 58 degrees for a couple of weeks. The soil is fair- ly heavy and has been well watered at all times. The houses are well built and Roots of the Soy Bean Showing Nodules. nish likewise revenue for the express companies and food for the rubbish heap; therefore, if you decide to con- tinue supplying the market this sum- mer, aim to keep up quality. The Soil Pile. Now is a first-class time to roll up a pile of soil. If put up now it will be ready for use at bench-filling time. There are several methods of proceeding, but the main principal is to incorporate we have had splendid success in previ- ous years. The other varieties are show- ing the same spots, but not so badly. M. N. C. Your carnations are badly infested with thrips and you will find it up-hill work to get rid of them now. During the warm spring weather they increased very rapidly, and it will keep you busy to destroy them as fast as they appear. As I told P. M. in the Easter Number of the Review, the time to fight thrips is all winter, or better still, all the year around. We used to have much trouble with them when we depended on tobacco stems to keep them down, but ever since our carnations were housed last fall, we have sprayed once each week with an extract forty-five per cent nicotine, and this spring there is no sign of them on our stock. Mrs. Lawson shows the ef- fects quicker thim any other variety we have here, but Lorna suffers badly too. In the winter, when the sun is weak, the petals will be spotted white, but later the hot sun burns and dries up these dead spots and ruins the blooms. I feel that I cannot recommend this nicotine extract too strongly. It fills a want that was felt for years, for some- thing that would keep down thrips ef- fectively, and, in fact, keep down all kinds of insect pests and could be used without disturbing the regular routine of cutting and selling the blooms. The discoverer deserves success in selling his product for the greatest benefit comes to those who use it, because those who have used it to any extent will tell you that with every dollar you spend for it you will save yourself at least ten dol- lars in blooms that you used to lose through these insect pests. We have not smoked our houses once in the last ten months and our stock throughout was never so clean. We shall use noth- ing else in the future, unless we find something still better. A. F. J. Bauk. BACTERIA FOR LEGUMES. The United States Department of Ag- riculture has issued a bulletin entitled "Beneficial Bacteria for Leguminous Crops," which will be of interest to ev- ery nurseryman and seedsman, to every florist, every fruit grower, and every farmer, in fact to every one whose in- terests are in any way related to the science of the soil. From the earliest days of agriculture it has been recognized that leguminosa;, which in general, bear their seeds in pods, have a decidedly beneficial effect upon the soil. Pliny, who met his death in the year 79 A. D., in the great erup- tion of Mt. Vesuvius which destroyed Pompeii and Herculaneum, had recorded that "the bean ranks first among le- gumes; it fertilizes the ground in which it is sown as well as any manure." But it was not until comparatively recent times that it was demonstrated that the fertilizing qualities were dependent up- on the formation on the legumes of root nodules which came to be known as "ni- trogen knots," or "nitrogen traps," from the part they play in fiirnishing the plants with nitrogen derived from the air. Research showed these root nodules to be the result of the presence of cer- tain bacteria in the soil. But there are many localities where these beneficent bacteria are absent, and here a crop of legumes is of no more value to the soil than a cereal or other main crop, which might be a distinct source of profit. It was this fact which led to the series of experiments and the results summarize^ in the present pamphlet by George T. Moore and T. R. Robinson. By working with the nodules it was found possible to prepare a pure "cul- ture" of the nodule forming organism which it was practicable to put up in a dry form for shipment to the districts May 18, 1005. The Weekly Florists' Review. J57?- which it. is desirable to artificially inoc- ulate. When this result was attained the Department of Agriculture took a patent on the process in the name of Dr. Moore for the purpose of guaranteeing to the public that no monopoly could be main- tained by commercial producers of sim- ilar cultures. The dry cultures are prepared by sat- urating absorbent cotton in a liquid cul- ture, prepared by introducing the bac- teria in a nutrient jelly, where they mul- tiply amazingly. In this way millions of the bacteria are held within the cotton where, af tet this is dried, they remain dormant in much the same way as seeds, waiting for the proper conditions to re- vive them. To do this it is only neces- sary to immerse the cotton in water, but for best results, it seemed best to fur- nish at the same time two packages of nutrient salts, one containing sugar, magnesium sulphate and potassium phosphate and the other ammonium phosphate. The contents of the first package is placed in the water with the cotton, the ammonium phosphate is added twenty-four hours later and in a second twenty-four hours the clear water has changed to a milky liquid, so rapid has been the growth of the bacteria. To apply two methods are practical. The liquid may be used to moisten the seeds or to moisten the soil, which is then scattered as fertilizer and at once worked into the ground. When the seed is treated and dried the inoculation re- mains effective for several months and Dr. Moore predicts that inoculated seed will soon become a regular item of trade. Up to November 1, 1904, the Depart- ment of Agriculture had distributed 12,- 490 packages of inoculating material, each stamped with the name of the crop for which it was intended, a different culture being prepared for alfalfa, clo- vers, peas, beans, etc. Each was ac- companied by a circular of simple direc- tions and in nearly every case very bene- ficial results were reported, although in instances where the recipient used on sweet com a culture marked for red clover, or even buried it unopened in his field, he failed to see wonders wrought. It is stated that inoculation is neces- sary when : ( 1 ) The land is at all poor or "thin" and has borne no legumes pre- viously. ( 2 ) The land has borne legumes with roots devoid of nodules. Inoculation is desirable when: (1) The legumes previously grown on the land belong to another group of these plants. (2) The soil prwiuces a sickly growth of legumes even though their roots bear nodules. It should be added that no formula will enable a planter to produce his own cultures as these can be prepared only by a trained bacteriologist with labora- tory facilities. To reliable firms which are equipped to go into the business the department extends co-operation, but ex- pressly states that there will be no hesi- tation in calling attention to any attempt to deceive, either by offering spurious material or material at prices which the department knows by its experience to be exorbitant.

'A A M^ell-Grown Crimson Rambler. A CRIMSON RAMBLER. A well grown and flowered plant of this popular rose is nothing uncommon. This plant was a little over six feet in height and nearly four feet across and it was not easy to decide which was the best side to be photographed. The man who planted this rose in the open ground two yesrs ago this spring has written often advising that the surest and most satisfactory method of forcing these roses was to start in the spring with a good, cut-down, dormant plant. Grow it in the greenhouse until the canes are a good size and then put it outdoors to ripen. We have not gone back on that method, yet the plant shown, which was loaded with trusses of fine flowers from tub to top and on all sides, happens not to have been grown that way. After two summers' growth in the ground it was lifted about November 17. After a good watering it was stood in a house of Kaiserin roses that were going to rest with no fire heat. Perhaps there was little frost in the hou^e before the end of Decem- ber, but from then on to near the end of January there was frequently pretty hard freezing. Then the Eambler was started in a violet house at about 40 degrees and later removed to a rose house. We have a good many times tried lifting these Ramblers in the fall, but this is the first we can call "a go." W. S. CARNATION SOCIETY'S REPORT. The Proceedings of the Fourteenth An- nual Meeting of the American Carnation Society have been mailed to members. It is the usual pamphlet of 115 pages and contains a complete stenographic re- port of the Chicago meeting last Jan. uary, which was quite fully reported in the Eeview at the time and therefore familiar to our readers. The book, nev- ertheless, affords much interesting read- ing, particularly those numerous pages devoted to discussions. The list of va- rieties registered totals seventeen, not counting several sports of Lawson and Enchantress which were not admitted to registration under other than descriptive names. In pages 97 to 99 a stenographic error is noted which evidently escaped the eye of the editor of the volume. The gentlemen who referred to the good work done for floriculture at the Indiana Ex- periment Station were J. S. Stuart and J. A. Haugh, of Anderson, not Stewart and Hall, as printed.

'■'^''fX 1580 The Weekly Florists^ Review* &Ut 18, 1006. mnr YORK. TIm Market ■.•'■j«. ::-y-t' ;V' ■• A journey through the wholesale cut flower market of New York last Sat- urday was anything but an inspiration. The quantity of stock on hand was ab- normal, even in this season of big ship- ments, and the prices, as one wholesaler put it, "anything we can get," with iew exceptions. Beauties were very poor. A lot of the stock was entirely unsalable. I saw box after box of Maids and Brides go out as originally shipped as low as $1 per hundred. Retailers and wholesalers both com- plain of the bad influence of the big shipments and "stealings" of lilac. By the stealings I mean that the streets are filled with venders, many of them boys who have scoured the adjacent coun- try and appropriated all the lilac they could lay their hands on and who then turn an honest peBHyj by supplying the unsophisticated New Yorkers. Even the wealthy people, the retailers declare, have been making their homes spring-like and their tables suggestive of the simple country life by buying lilac in preference to roses, valley and carnations. How have the mighty fallen! Wild violets have taken the place of tlie very "tame" ones and even the blossoms from the orchards and the woods make up the decorations of the retail windows and gladden the hearts of the people who pass. The fakirs will soon be oflP to the big summer resorts and the demand from that source will perceptibly lessen, to the annoyance of the wholesaler, to whom, in the daily cleaning up process, these gentry have become a necessity. Outdoor lily of the valley is abundant and prices of the real thing have fallen, notwithstanding that wedduigs continue. The Siebrecht factory, at Astoria, how- ever, keeps on every day in the year turning out its daily and excellent sup- ply. No need of any marriage ceremony being postponed because of a shortage of valley. Cold storage becomes, therefore, a preliminary of wedding festivities and the valley bouquet is always in season. Lilies of fine quality command only $2 to $4 per hundred for the best of them. The "bulbist" who grows them must have moments of unspeakable thoughts. Cornflowers, gladioli and cam- panulas are arriving profusely. There seems to be no shortage of anything. The $1 boxes of cut flowers are again in the windows, a sure barometer as_ to bargains. They certainly look tempting and they are great value, from the pub- lic standpoint. Monday was another bad day in the wholesale market. Looks like summer prices had arrived on an early train. But the skies will clear somewhat for Decoration day and there will be an upward tendency shortly. Hortkultftral Sodety't Show. The annual exhibition of the Horti- cultural Society of New York was held last Wednesday and Thursday at the Bronx park museum building. The of- ^cers of last year were re-elected. The membership now totals nearly 200. An interesting lecture was delivered on ■"Summer in the Fruit Garden," by Prof. Fletcher, of Cornell University. A very fflnall percentage of the 4,000,000 people in- New York City's borders were pres- ent, rather less than usual. Dr. Britton exhibited some results of his recent travels south. The native dracsena from Honduras was the most interesting; D. Americana is its name. He brought a Me^can opuntia and Luther Burbank seut blooms of the Australian fadeless flower. The exhibits :>rere not numerous. F. B. Pierson Co. displayed a fine bank of decorative plants and cut flowers, Sie- brecht & Son the same. Julius Boehrs and Lager & Hurrell had their usual as- sortments of orchids, both plants and cut flowers. Weinberg showed succulent plants and cacti. Mrs. Glibes and Ger- trude Paddock, of Woodsidef, also exhibit- ed their collections. Loiiis Dupuy, of Whitestone, showed several fine plants of Crassula hybrida coccinea. Wild flowers and shrubs were exhibited by the Bed- ford Agassiz Association, P. Nelson, Mrs. Kauffman, H. S. Wood and Julia J. Knott.

It is most discreditable to New York that such exhibitions awaken so lit- tle popular interest. Various Notes. Outdoor valley brings from 50 cents per hundred down. Kessler handled 10,000 Saturday at the Cut Flower Ex- change. Wm, Amos was re-elected presi- dent of this organization last week and the old board was reinstated, except that David Deans took the place of George Qolsner. Bonnot, of Newark and Jersey City, on Saturday opened his new store, 25x125, with conservatory at the back running to another street, the finest floral estab- lishment in Jersey. Geo. Saltford will again cater to the interests of the Dutchess County Horti- cultural Society's exhibition on June 10, at Annandale, as curator, in which ca- pacity he won last year the plaudits of ' ' the 400, ' ' who grow things up the Hud- son. Amateurs and professionals, rich and otherwise, vie with each other in fruit and floral display here yearly. Mr. Saltford after June 1 will have floods of gladioli at his wholesale market in New York. Brooklyn has a quartette of wholesalers now who make the church city quite in- dependent. Hicks & Crawbuck handle grand stock and an abundance of it. Kuebler, with his two brothers as lieu- tenants, is rapidly Iwiiding up a fine business and has made ItU "iMldquarters quite metropolitan in appearance. Bonnot & Blake are doing well at 26 Boerum place and in addition to their cut flower trade are selling agents for the Lever cane clip, a most useful invention for rose and chrysanthemum growers, made by B. S. Blake & Son, of Bochester. Crawbuck & Wiles have monopolized the "green goods" trade across the bridge and keep on hand about everything in that line the florist needs. In the retail department down-town Mallon, Wier, Phillips and Masur all rejoice in ap extra prosperous Easter season. Mr. Masur, at 238 Fulton street, tells me sales were double last year and that his business has grown so that larger quarters will soon be necessary. Mr. Phillips' store has already been en- larged. On May 11 the daughter of Julius Z. Schoma, of 627 DeKalb avenue, Brook- lyn, a young lady of 17 years, who had just graduated from the Brooklyn busi- ness college, died suddenly. On Saturday, Harry, the son of H. Hermann, retail florist of Broadway, Brooklyn, 15 years of age, fell through a trap-door at Kenny's, the wire manu- facturer on Dean street, fracturing his skull and dying later in the day at St. John's hoE^ital. The sorrowing parents have the sincere sympathy of the trade in their bereavement. Secretary Peter Bisset, of the Washing- ton Club, who was here last week, an- nounces extensive preparations for the great convention there in August, with an abundance of interesting surprises for the thousands of visitors expected. The New York Club's outing is dose at hand. Those who have not already done so are requested to engage their tickets at once from President Traendly. The meeting of the club on June 12 wUl be ladies' and peony night and a great attendance is anticipated. W. G. Badgley, of Chatham, was in the city Saturday. His roses are superb and he contemplates adding to his 10,000 square feet of glass at an early date. His stock has been handled since his first shipment by A. J. Guttman. W. F. Kasting, of Bu^lo, was a recent visitor, none the worse for his illness. John and William Blake, private gar- deners of Pasadena, Cal., were in the city Monday on their way to Europe. A. T. Boddington reports a very good business on his seed specialties. The Clucas & Boddington Co. are set- tled in their new home on West Twenty- third street and seem delighted with the change. They report a great increase in their nursery business at Sparkill this season. Ralph M. Ward & Co. are also de- lighted with their enlarged space and added conveniences in their new quarters at 12 West Broadway. Edwin A. Denham is in Europe replen- ishing his stock of Flanders pottery at 31 Barclay street. The leading retailers on Broadvray and Fifth avenue are closing at 8 o'clock. A few stragglers still keep open an hour later. What good it does them it is hard to underhand. It seems easy for some to forget the long days and all night sessions of the strenuous winter and Easter season. J. Austin Shaw. Mat 18, 1906. The Weekly Florists' Review/ S581 CHICAGO. The Ma^et At the close of last week business took a little spurt and Saturday found the market well cleaned up, but things have fallen into the rut again this week and the regular business consumes but a small part of each day's receipts. It is a case of cleaning up at whatever the street salesmen or job-lot buyers will give. For almost the first time on record wiring cheap o£fers to out-of-town buyers does not move the stock, for all other markets are also loaded. The one exception is American Beauty roses. Receipts of these have become light, largely due to drying oflf or re- planting operations. Some new Beauties are coming in and others have good crops in prospect, but for the time being good stock is scarce. The warm weather has had its inevitable effect upon all roses, the buds being smaller, softer and color poorer, although qualities are what would be called good for so late in the spring. Liberty is becoming more plentiful and promises a good crop for Decoration day. Chatenay is one of the most abundant of roses, particularly in the special grade. Carnation receipts continue heavy and quality is very good for this late date. Of prices, however, the! same cannot be said, as averages for so good a grade of stock were probably never lower than in the past two weeks. Sweet p^s have been in large supply and are selling ex- ceptionally well where the quality com- mends them. Peonies are coming in un- usually heavily for the middle of May and thousands of dozens are already in cold storage awaiting the Decoration day demand. There have been reports of a shortage) in the crop, but it is not yet apparent. There are peonies for all and roost of the stock is of good quality. Lilac has been one of the principal com- modities of the week but is past its prime. There are still quantities of out- door tulips of exceptionally good quality. Outdoor valley is beginning to come in. Harrisii lilies are not quite so bad a glut as last week, but there are still plenty, and this applies to efvery other item in the market, including "green goods." The Strike Situation. There has been no change in the strike situation since last report. The express drivers are still out, but they have lost enthiisiasm and most business operations are going ahead as though there were no trouble. The wholesale! florists hardly know that a strike exists since they have become accustomed to the new methods of receiving and making shipments. The telegraph messengers struck on Tuesday and this delayed some orders. There is possibility of an extension of the strike to othefr trades, but it will not likely af- fect the florists. Country buyers are safe in sending important orders to this mar- ket and consignors can send along the stuff with perfect assurance. Everyone hopes the labor difficulties will be over by Decoration day. The prospect is for a splendid business, to which the feeling of relief at the discon- tinuance of hostilities will add not a little. There is every prospect of plenty of stock and the city retailers want a chance to share in the prosperity. VafioM Notes. On May 11 there was two and one-half inches of rainfall and the growers who have their carnation plants on low places have sustained quite a loss. Peter Beinberg has a very fine crop of Liberty just coming on. E. H. Hunt la getting borne especially fine outdoor lily of the valley, something that has not been vety plentiful in this market this season. It is stated that Weiland &, Risch have sold their range of carnation houses and will devote their attention exclusively to rose growing, handling carnations on commission. Since stock has become so cheap in the market the fakirs have opened stends in every nook and corner of the downtown district. They clean up a great deal of stock on pleasant days. N. K.

Co. says that the real injury done this market by the strike was not in extra expense in handling ship- ments, though that is considerable, but in that it cut off the large quantity of outdoor stock ordinarily handled. May of last year was the best month in the history of the Kennicott Bros. Co. and many thousand dollars of sales were out- door stock, which has not come to Chi- cago this year. Reports from southern Illinois indicate that the peony crop in that district is not more than one-third what it was last year. This should give a better mar- ket for the home-grown crop, which will be along soon. Louis Wittbold has been at work per- fecting his automatic watering and syringing apparatus and has it down to a fine point. He proposes to sell it to the trade, his first customer being Qhas. Heim, of Blue Island, who will put it in his rose houses. Otto Kroeschell, one of the members of the Kroeschell Bros. Co., disappeared on May 8, and has not been heard from since. It was noted that the recent death of one of his brothers had affected him strongly mentally, but no theory is ad- vanced as to his disappearance. The police have been searching for him more than a week. He was well known to many in the trade. It is reported that Mrs. Geo. S. Mc- Reynolds and Miss Nina Howard are building greenhouses at Qlencoe, to go into commercial violet culture, havinj^ procured stock of Miss Chittenden, of Lansing, who. has been one of Hunt's consignors for years. Employes of the George Wittbold Co. found a young man in the orchid house a few days ago with twenty-four cattleya blooms concealed in his clothing. Only routine business was dispatched at the club meeting May 11. It is now proposed to wind up the season with that much-talked-of supper. Sinner Bros, are rebuilding all their benches with pecky cypress. George Beinberg has a nice crop of Liberty on and expects a crop of Beau'- ties for Decoration day. Carl Thomas, of the A. L. Slittdall Co., has returned from his visit to his old home in Pennsylvania, feeling much refreshed by his vacation. Warren Garland is sending Percy Jones some exceptionally nice sweet peas. At Amling's, mushrooms are 35 cents a basket. He has done quite a business with this specialty for one of his growers this season. Vaughan k Sperry, who receivp consid- erable stock from Grand Rapids, say that with only one of their growers has there been any reduction in crop since the big hail storm over there. The rest got off easily. N. J. Wietor seizes a day now and then while trade is dull to go fishing. C. W. McKellar says he anticipates no trouble in handling cape jasmines. The express companies are again mak- ing deliveries. The Gardeners' Union is reported to have withdrawn its demand for an in- crease in wages and is said to have re- ceived evidence that its members were mistaken in their belief that the big growers are making more money than ever before. Matt Mann has a lot of cool-grown longiflorums coming on. Last year they brought big money at this season. At J. A. Budlong's they say that business is good, referring to the ship- ping demand. When visitors enter the office of the E. F. Winterson Co., they pause and wipe their feet. The carpet there is the only one of which the Chicago market can boast. EVERGREEN. ALA. George W. Caldwell says that the huckleberry branches have "caught on." They are pie for the decorators at thia season, when wild smilax is out of the market. He has received many compli- mentary letters from the trade, as there is a manifest appreciation that he is giving tjmi something of just as much value to the storekeepers as is a new fern, or rose, possibly of more value as it fills a place where there is nothing at present. One writer says he ought to have a medal, but Caldwell says there isn't even a leather one in sight. Charleston, W. Va. — J. W. Alexan- der says that this is his most successful year since going into business. The use of flowers and plants is increasing very fast in this region and he will add to hia glass this summer to keep up with the demand. 1582 ThcWeckly Florists' Review. Mat 18, 1006. PHILADELPHIA, The Market The market conditions show little change. Apple and dogwood blossoms are being replaced by shrubbery. South- ern peonies have made their appearance, both Niessen and Pennock having ship- ments. The former are also receiving Golden iris, while W. J. Moore has the first pond lilies of the season in three colors. Beauties are good and very plen- tiful. Burton, Heacock and Myers & Samtman are all cutting heavily. Prices are low. Tea roses are falling ofif in quality and sell slowly. Really good car- nations find a market, but the majority only do so through the medium of the fakir. Sweet peas are getting down to the prices for outdoor stock, the first of these having reached the Flower Mar- ket from C. E. Meehan's. S. S. Pennock has the best strings of asparagus seen in town. They are very long, heavy and of deep color. At Julius Wolffs. At Twenty-eighth and Sedgeley streets, Julius Wolff, Jr., has a store and half a dozen greenhouses adjacent to his resi- denccf, close by what was once Ridge ave- nue station on the P. R. R. This place is considered tributary to his main es- tablishment at 1617 North Nineteenth street, the houses being devoted to palms, rubbers, ferns, etc., and to a good col- lection of spring flowering plants and vines. The place is especially noted in a wholesale way throughout the city for its orchids, of which there are a goodly number. Through some misunderstand- ing, the time set by Mr. Wolff for a visit found most of the orchid blooms cut, so that I shall have to look forward to see- ing them in their glory at some futurei time. The Cniz Statement At the meeting of the creditors of Robert Craig & Son, held at Forty-ninth and Market streets last Monday, As- signee John Burton showed that the mortgage on the real estate had been reduced. There was a good balance in the bank, to be augmented by a considerable amount in bills receivable. All the credi- tors, with three exceptions, representing a comparatively small amount, have ac- cepted the firm's proffered 50 cents on the dollar, which will be paid to them on June 15. Various Notes. E. D. Darlington, of Doylestown, is sending nice Kaiserins to Fred Ehret. Charles E. Meehan calls attention to the fact that lilies that cannot be brought into bloom by Easter should be sorted out at as early a moment as possible and kept cool. Lilies have been a drug during May. A little later they will be in de- mand. There is great activity in bowling cir- cles now. There was the Essington pic- nic on Tuesday last, for all the bowlers and their friends. Then there is a great team tournament for prizes, in which thirty players are competing, divided into six teams of five men each.

K., whose Philadelphia column in a contemporary delights his many read- ers, sharply criticises the leading para- graph under Easter Echoes in this col- umn in the Eeview of May 4. While the views expressed were somewhat ad- vanced, the source from which they came, one of our most prominent florists, en- titles them to respect. A number of years ago Thomas Cartledge said "the fakir docs our business more good than harm, but," he added, "better not say that yet, for they won't think so." Now the ques- tion has ceased to be an issue and the' fakir is recognized as an aid to business. I do not say that these advanced views regarding the benefits of department store advertising are correct. Time will show. I did not say that the popularity of the azalea was waning, but that they were less plentiful than last year. I be- lieve this to be a fact. Phil. BALTIMORE, MD. There is not very much to say about the market. Things are moving along as well as can be expected, weather and sea- son considered. Carnations are a glut and good ones are bringing from $1 to $L50 per hundred, with a few fancies at $2. Roses are also very plentiful, and only the best grades find ready sale. Short stuff is hard to dispose of at any price. The first peonies made their ap- pearance the beginning of the past week and are bringing from $5 to $6 per hun- dred. After an illness of about two weeks the wife of J. J. Perry, manager of the Florists' Exchange, died on May 10. There were many handsome floral pieces at the funeral, sent mainly from the trade.

ST. LOUIS. The Market To say that there is a glut and that business in cut flowers is dull would be putting it mildly. The wholesalers say that never before) has there been such an abundance of stock in all lines in this market and at such cheap prices. The retailers report that business up to the present time is far below this sefason a year ago. Only a few days of the past week were enlivened by an occasional wedding, dinne'r, reception or a funeral design. The feature of the week was a carnation war among the down-town florists. The signs displayed in their windows read 7% cents per dozen, which later in the week was changed to 5 cents. They bought their stock for $2.50 per thousand. The very choice fancy carna- tions brought less than 2 cents. Roses sold about as cheap and a great many choice Beauties went begging, there be- ing so little demand for them. Sweet peas are selling fairly well, but very cheap in large lots. Peonies are also, flooding the market at $2 per hun- dred. Another flower that will flood the market is the cape jasmine, which is expected up this week from Alvin, Teixas. We have been having too much rain of late to suit the plantsmen, who say that they have all they can do in that line, but the recent heavy rains have made the ground too soft, which will delay them about a week. At Union Market the reports are that the season so far has been exceptionally good, with fair prices. Florists' Qub Meetiag. The May meeting of the club, as was expected, was not well attended, most of the members being busy planting. The meeting opened with President Juetigel in the chair and thirteen members present. Two applications for membership were made, by Ed Hicks and Henry Lohrenz. Both are young men and will make good members. Mr. Koenig, who is manager of the fall flower show, made a report that every- thing is running along nicely and made a plea that the subscribers pay up. The rest of the committee also predicted a successful show. F. C. Weber is treas- urer of the committee. Three new appli- cations should have been voted upon, but owing to the small attendance the balloting was laid over until the next meeting in June.

Under the head of ncfw business John Steidle invited the club to hold its regu- lar June meeting at his place in Central, Mo., which was accepted. The date of this meeting will be June 8. Varioos Notes. John Steidle, who was in the best of health while at the club meeting on Thursday, was reported very sick on Sunday. From reports Monday, he is on the road to recovery, which will be good news to his many friends in the trade. Recent visitors were C. L. Brimson, of Paducah, Ky.; J. O'Neil, Chicago. Wm. Ellison and his son Arthur have left for a month's trip south on both pleasure and business. Henry Emunds reports that his ever- blooming tuberose bulbs are selling fast. J. F. Ammann, of Edwardsville, re- ports that in the recent hail storm ha lost about 1,000 feet of glass, all single strength, the hail not being large enough to break the double. He is making prep- arations to build this summer. C. E. DeWever, gardener for the Woman's Magazine, has his place in fine shape. The bedding is especially attrac- tive.

Mr. Kellogg hopes for a big delegation from here to the S. A. F. convention. He says the glut in cut stock is also on in Kansas City, but is not in favor of the cheap prices. The Florists' Club will give its annual picnic some time during July. Frank Fillmore and Fred Ammann have been added to the committee of arrangements. This year's outing should be a large one, as we had nono list summer. Bowline. The bowling club had seven men at the alleys on Monday. Five games were rolled, in which C. A. Kuehn was high with 830; Beneke, second, 819; Miller, 811; Ellis, 802; R. Meinhardt, 728; F. Meinhardt, 653; Henry Lohrenz, 632. The highest single score was by Kuehn, 212; Ellis, second, 198. Mr. Hippard, of De Soto, was in town on Monday. He is quite a bowler and has invited the boys down. Mr. Hip- pard says they will have a good time. Mr. Frost and himself will see to the entettainraent. The visit will be made soon but not until the busy planting season is over. J. J. B. BOSTON. The Market Very little change has taken place in the market during the past week. Roses continue pletitiful enough for all require- ments. Some nice Carnot and Kaiserin are now coming in. Carnations are abundant and the quality holds remark- ably well. While a few select blooms bring up to $2.50 and $3, very good stock can be had at $1, or even less. Some double violets from O. L. Dorr still come in and- of very fair quality. Sweet peas remain good sellers and are a little lower, the best bringing 75 cetits to $1 per hundred. Lilies and callas are in oversupply and very little call for them. The supply of outdoor bulbous stock is lessening, the Trumpet narcissi being over. N. poeticus is quite abundant. Bunches of the later tulips of good qual- ity are seen and there is a good supply of Spanish iris. Adiantum is more plenti- ful. Asparagus remains about the same. Varioos Notes. Dr. R. T. Jackson, of Cambridge, read an exhaustive essay on "Peonies and Their Culture" at the meeting of thfl Gardeners' and Florists' Club on Tues- day, May 16. There was an exceptionally good attendance and keen inteTest was manifested in Dr. Jackson's remarks. A number of new members were elected and indications are that a membership of 200 will be reached by the end of the year. A more extended report will appear in next week's Rbtview. Quite a serious drought has been ex- perienced in New England of late. Very little rain has fallen this spring and a part of the three inches of precipitation which drenched Chicago a iew days ago would have been welcomed here. One or two light showers have relieved the situ- ation a little, but a soaking rain is badly needed. The Arnold Arboretum is particularly attractive at present. The pyruses are very fine. At the end of the week the grand collection of lilacs will be at their best. The parkways under Superintend- ent Pettigrew's charge are also wonder- 1586 The Weekly Florists' Review. Mat 18, 1905. 3.

The Lonicera Monowi in Franklin park will be worth a special visit within a few days. J. W. Duncan reports a considerable death roll among the oaks and deciduous shrubs in the park system in addition to the numerous evergreens killed. We find similar losses have l)een sustained in many places. Pin oaks planted ten years in North Easton are quite dead and even maples in some cases are gone. The rhododendron exhibition of thj Massachusetts Horticultural Society will be held on June 3 and 4. We fear the show of these will not be up to the aver- age, owing to damage sustained the past winter, but herbaceous plants should make a brave showing. The peony show on June 10 should prove a grand one. Tlie e.vecutive committee of the Ameri- can Rose Society will visit Hartford, Conn., on June 19, and hold a business flession there. They will also view Theo- dore Wirth's fine rose garden, of which SO many favorable comments have l)een made. Indications at this time are that out- door flowers for Memorial day vnU be pone too plentiful. Such useful sorts as lily of the valley, Narcissus poeticus, Darwin and Gesneriana tulips, to say nothing of lilac, are likely to be gone un- less very cool weather conditions pre- vail. H. N. Barrows & Son's new fern, re- cently certificated in Boston and now be- ing ofTercd to the trade, seems destined to become as popular as the Boston fern. Orders are already pouring in for it, many from distant points. The rival baseball teams from the mar- kets are said to be practicing and are out tor blood. We would not be surprised if the victors decided to challenge the Bostob- -American team to a series later in the season. As we have been placed hors du com- bat as the result of an accident, our news is brief this week. We hope to be in closer touch with humanity and do bet- ter in our next. W, N. Craig. On May 9 Mr. Craig was thrown from a wagon at North Easton, one rib on the right side being broken and two frac- tured. One finger was split open and one crushed, and he sustained other cuts and bruises. His own report minimizes his injuries, for he narrowly escaped be- ing killed. We are glad to report that he i> able to be out. — Ed. FiSHKiLL. N. Y.— Mrs. Chas. H. Fowl- er, Sr., died April 24. PITTSBURG. The Market Carnations to peddle! and lilies to burn were offered in the flower market last week, with roses about as bad, and there was considerable complaint among the retailers about things being unusually slow, although funeral work at the last of the week helped out some. However, while they had a little idle time gossip was in vogue, and you must take; the fol- lowing only as gossip. Various Notes. The stock company which is to take hold of the Lorch place has been organ- ized and almost all of the stock taken up. Another rumor is that arrange- ments are under way to organize a stock company to buy the Sidney Gibbs prop- erty and put up several additional houses for cut flowers for this market. Also that next fall will see another whole- saler to sell the output of these nefw concerns, or at least a portion of it. John Orth, the business manager of the McKeesport Floral Co., is a very busy fellow at this time ; lie finished planting his carnations last Friday night in time to get under cover from the big rain storm.

They have the advan- tage of having, in Mr. Orth, a manager who is a hustler and who knows what it is to climb from the bottom of the ladder. Geo. L. Huscroft, of Steubenville, 0., is pushing the work on his new place; building material is arriving every day and he is getting up the potting sheds and other buildings first but will start on the greenhouses as soon as he gets all his material on the grounds. At pres- ent he is busy getting things in shape for his spring planting, which includes the beds around all the important sta- tions on this division of the Pan Handle railroad. J. B. Murdoch & Co. are pushing the erection of two new houses at their Van Emman place. T. P. Langhans, of the Pittsburg Cut Flower Co., who has been slightly indis- posed for some time, is taking a couple of days of needed vacation in which he will combine business and pleasure. The writer saw a box of a new style fiahing hook on his desk not long ago, but I do not know whether this is the time to catch fish or not. The bedding plant men are very much in it just at this time and say they have only one complaint, too much to do, and should we get the usual frost which comes in this section along from May 20 to 25 there will be many more plants to replace than usual. May 12 we had hail again but, while it was quite large, it did not break any glass. If this keeps up hail insurance should have a boom. The death of several Pittsburgers in the recent Harrisburg railroad disaster gave some of the retailers considerable funeral work the past week. Southern peonies have been coming into this markt for over a week. Hoo-Hoo.

Kendel, Cleveland. The 23rd annual meeting will be held at Alexandria Bay, N. Y., from June 20 to 22, 19U5. Peas are reported to be standing the wet weather well. The greenhouse men in the vicinity of Chicago are reaping a good profit from cucumbers. There is a new strain of greenhouse cucumber which seems to be especially meritorious this season. Sweet corn and cucumbers for seed crops will not be planted any earlier than usual if this weather continues. Outdoor green crops of home produc- tion have never been so late in coming into market at Chicago as this year. Seedsmen having found a poultry department a valuable adjunct, some o*' them are now adding bee-keepers' sup- plies. W. Atlee Burpee and Howard M. Earl are visiting seed growers in Eu- rope, as is Lem. W. Bowen, of D. M. Ferry & Cx). The forthcoming Yearbook of the De- partment of Agriculture will contain a paper on sugar beet seed breeding by J. E. W. Tracy. The heavy rains of the past week have been hard on the onion set fields in the vicinity of Chicago. At the present writ- ing no serious damage is thought to have been done, but a continuation of raiiiy weather will certainly have a bad effect. Onion seed for replanting is being called for in the marsh districts of In- diana. It is now so late in the season that replanting will not make up for the loss caused by the flooding and the crop will be shortened considerably whether the bare spots are replanted or not.

Kimberlin & Q>.\ Santa Clara, CaL Visited St. Louis.— P. J. Bies, of the Goodwin-Harries Co., Chicago. On the last boat from Bermuda there were 30,241 cases of onions and three cases of onion seed. It was expected that field corn seed would be in brisk demand by this time, but, like many other expectations of the seedsman, this one is also switched back from the team track. Market gardeners are almost discour- aged by the weather conditions that pre- vail so generally throughout the middle west. Seeds that ought to have been planted weeks ago are still in the pack- age, and ground to receive the seed that has been made ready as many as three or four times is still lying vacant, too wet to do anything with. There is hardly a week goes by that some importer does not protest on ths assessment of duty on canary seed. In the past, week the board of appraisers overruled the protests of the Albert iDickinson Co., of T. W. Emerson Co., and of D. R. James & Bro., the importa- tions having been entered at Chicago, Boston and New York respectively. The precedent which governs in this matter is the case of Nordlingsr vs. the United States, published under the title of Treasury Decisions No. 24,976. "One of the difiiculties in the way of developing and keeping pure a variety of sweet corn is the ease with which it mixes with other varieties and with field corn. Sweet corn and field or hard corn, if planted at the same time, will mix at least a quarter of a mile away, and thus the sweet corn be much injured in quality. Adams Early, which is not sweet corn, will ruin sweet corn blossoming near it at the same time. But the writer has found little diflicultv in avoiding th3 mixing by always plant- in? sweet corn intended for seed a little earlier than any field corn is planted on his or adjoining farms." SAMPLES OF SEED AGAIN. The Secretary of the Treasury, who is the chief officer of customs, on May 9 sent the following notice to all custom- houses : At the instance of the Secretary of Agri- culture, It Is hereby directed that, commenc- ing; July 1, 1905, and continuing for one year, two-ounce samples of all Importations of 100 pounds or more of grass, clover and forage- plant seeds be prepared at the earliest prac- ticable date after entry, and forwarded to the Seed Laboratory, Department of Agricul- ture, Washington, D. C, labeled with nam«s and addresses of consignors and consignees, name of seed as given in the invoice, and quantity of the consignment. This is extending an order which has been in force for two years and to which there has been much opposition on the part of seedsmen. j THE SEASON'S THADE. The following reports on the season's business have been received: J. M. McCullough's Sons Co., Cin- cinnati, 0. — In reference to our season's business, we would say it was quite late ill starting this year; that ia owing, of course, to the weather, but when this moderated, trade came on us with a very heavy rush and our garden seed trade has been better than it was last year, and the present outlook is for a good count- er trade all during this month. Our grass seed and other business for the months of March and April was very heavy and better than former seasons. Johnson & Stokes, Philadelphia, Pa. — The mail order trade in February and early in March was a disappointment as compared with 1904, but since the begin- ning of April has been holding up very well. Counter trade during the past month has been active. Onion sets seemed very scarce early in the season, with growers holding for high prices. This was gradually reduced until at the end of the season there is a small sur- plus, which moves slowly. We know of one grower who had quite a quantity which we tried to buy early in the season at $2.50 to .$2.75 per busbel, who de- VI J590 The Weekly Florists' Review. Mat 18, 1905. clared that he would not sell until he could get $4, and he has most of them yet. Stowell's Evergreen sugar corn and Alaska peas could probably be found if wanted. Amzi Godden Co., Birmingham, Ala. — The season's business, which is now practically over with us, has been larger in volume and more profitable than any preceding one. The April frost added considerably to the profits as well as volume. Both large and small demand for certain varieties of seed has been surprises of the season. The seed that were in unusual demand this season are as follows: Dwarf beans, both wax and green pods; egg plant, canteloupe, water melon, okra, onion sets, pepper, potatoes, both Irish and sweet; pumpkins, radish, tomato, cucumber, lettuce and all sorts of grass seed and forage plants. Those that showed weakness or poor demand may be enumerated as follows: Pole beans, limas, cabbage, carrots, celery, corn, all sorts ; peas, spinach, squash and turnip. The acreage in peas was greatly reduced this season and nearly every grower has lost money on the crop; con- sequently the demand for peas another season is bound to be poor. The bean and radish business has been extravagantly overdone and great losses are expected, some already apparent. Wood, Stxibbs & Ck)., Louisville, Ky. — The seed business at Louisville this year has been considerably larger than ever before and all dealers report increased volume of business. The markets have been so efrratic in prices, however, that it will be very hard to tell until inven- tory whether or not the profits have been increased in proportion to the vol- ume of business. Stocks in this market are fairly well exhausted on all lines of grasses, clovers, etc., and indications are for the present season that grass seed crops in this immediate vicinity will be fairly good, though it is hard to tell until three or four weeks later what the yield will be. The onion set acreage is about the same as last year and the crop at the present time is doing well. This market on this commodity is probably as large as any in the United States, and Louisville sets are shipped from Mani- toba to the Gulf. There is always such a great diflFerence in the price between those bought in the fall and those bought in the spring that the tendency is among dealers in other parts of the country to buy their sets from Louisville in the fall and keep them until spring, which practice has proven a very profit- able one, and has increased, for it is a fact that sets grown here will keep vety much better than sets grown in other sections. The garden crops are at pres- ent looking very well, and indications are that the yield of potatoes, cabbage, peas and other early crops will be quite large. Wheat and grasses are doing well, and reports from all over this state! as well as the south indicate enormous crops will be produced if the weather continues favorable. We have had an unusually favorable spring for doing work and the season is considerably ahead of the same period of last year and a good many years previous. Garden seed stocks are fairly well cleaned up, with the excep- tion of peas and sweet corns. Jeboice B. Rice Seed Co., Cambridge, N; Y. — So far as the wholesale trade is concerned, we have to say that our trade LEONARD SEED CO. OaiOH SKTS. Our plantings for the new crop are now completed.

While we have probably handled more pounds and bushels of seed this year than we did last, yet prices were lower on many varieties. Hence in dol- lars and cents our business is not ahead of last year. From best information which we receive through our custom- ers we think the spring trade is proving to be a very good one and it is our opin- ion that the! quantity of seed of the three staple articles, peas, beans and sweet corn, that will remain unsold at the end ot the season will be very small. No need of prophesying what the present year's crop will give us. It is altogether too early to consider this.

Car- nations are cut in great quantities an'l prices have been very popular. Swefet peas of fine quality have been coming in from Wm. Ehmann and David Scott, of C!orfu. The flower beds on our fine resident streets are brilliant with single tulips but we have not yet heard of any thieving. Our police justices soaked (excuse the slang) one or two of these miscreants pretty heavily last spring and the news spread. It/^ the duty of the florists to do all they can to help to put the wretches where the dogs won't bite them for a month, because nothing dis- courages our patrons to plant so much as losing the flowers in their beauty. Open and free to the admiration of all, as the lawns and flower beds are, no complaint is ever heard except with these tempting, handsome tulips and they are something money can't replace. The park beds are gay with pansies planted la.st fall. There have not been many strangers within our gates of late, except Arnold Ringier, of Chicago, stopping over Sun- day. He kindly delivered an address at the Y. M. C. A., general good advice to young men. It is reported that W. J. Palmer & Son had a most flattering offer to dispose? of the lease of their handsome store at Main and Genesee streets. They have, we think, declined the off'er. It is an ideal spot for a florist and under W. J. Palmer. Jr.'s management is an ornament to the city and would be an actual loss to that part of the town. How little we easterners know of the many progressive and up-to-date methods of doing business that the westerners devise and invent. Where we would often be stuck, as they say, the western man or woman can climb out tri- umphant. A much traveled and versatile drummer, but a man of great veracity, was telling me of his experience in a growing Texas town that can boast of one florist store. The drummer enters store and presents his card to the young lady clerk. "Oh, you be in the business,-^ be ye?" Jumps up on the undressed board counter and beats a tattoo with her dainty heels. The big drummer jumps up beside her and makes a sale of fifty tuberoses. Enter two society ladies and addressing L. C. : "We want two dozen American beauties." "All right. When do ye want 'em?'' "To- morrow evening." "All right, I'll send 'em 'round." The drummer thinks, where on earth will she get two dozen American Beauties? There are none within a thousand miles, and asks the question. L. C. jumps on the! counter and pulls down a long box which con- tains several dozen Beauties, petal and color true to life, only made of cloth. "What do you charge for them ?" "Twen- ty-five cents a dozen if they brings 'em back in good order." There, now. Some of us have fretted terribly over such an order and this is so simple, where so- ciety is not too fastidious. W. S. Bennington, Vt. — W. G. Richardson has sold out to Thomas H. Phelan, who has for some years been at Gaskill's, at Warren, 0. Marlborough, N. Y. — ^F. A. Velie i» building a carnation house 35x175. It will ba run in connection with the Val- ley View Greenhouses now controlled by C. G, Velie & Son. The name of the firm will be changed to Velie Bros. They will have a complete establishment, two large houses containing about 10,000 square feet of glass being devoted to violets and about 15,000 feet of glass given to fancy carnations.

A few society affairs, several weddings and a sprink- ling of funeral work are all that keep the retailers from going to the ball game. Perhaps the heavy supply of flowers handled by the fakirs has cut in upon the transient retail trade. Roses and carnations are in large supply and the buyer names the price. One leading store sold good roses for 25 cents per dozen and in buying wholesale if the purchaser takes 1,000 roses he receives gratis sev- eral hundred more. This method of do- ing business cuts in heavily on the small grower. Southern peonies have made their appearance, but are not of good quality. Japanese iris has played a prominent part in table decorations of late. Also the Miniature gladiolus, which is a very beautiful acquisition. Varioos Notes. A visit to the parks found everything looking in good order. Very few if any shrubs or trees died from the winter ef- fects. The roadways have been cleared and the flower beds, which were planted with tulips, are about over. The various beds around the square presented a beau- tiful appearance. Many of the early shrubs are in full bloom, being at least two weeks earlier than last year. May 14 saw many flower beds planted with geraniums, cannas and caladiums. A new store is to be opened as Mer- kyl's Flower Shop, about May 15, at the corner of Colt and Euclid avenues. Jas. Eadie is making extensive ar- rangements to move his old plant from St. Clair street to the new location at East Cleveland. When added to the ten new houses, it will make a very large plant. The F. E. Williams Co. has already planted two houses of roses, one of Chatenay and one of Bride and Maid. Two more! houses have been cleaned out and benches rebuilt. Gen. MacArthur and Richmond will vie with each other for superiority. Bate Bros, have a seedling carnation which, for size" of flower and stiffness of stem, cannot be equaled anywhere. It is of Lawson color, borne on stems from two to three feet. Unfortunately it is only a spring and summer bloomer. William Stadie, gardetier for L. E. Holden for the past eighteen yeiTrs, has severed his connection there and is now employed by the park de^jartmcnt. Visitors: S. A. Anderson and wife, of Buffalo, were here for a few days. Forest City. Petoskey, Mich.— S. J. Long reports Easter business a third larger than last year although prices were just a bit lower. Harrisii and carnations were in the lead but every flower was sold. Mrs. Long has returned from Long Beach, Cal., where she spent the winter. ■•W'' ■7'i^v':,':,-rv^ 1602 The Weekly Florists' Review.

Rochester. The 29th annual convention will be held at West Baden Springs, Ind.. June 14-17, 1905. It is stated that in the south the sales of ornamental stock showed a very pronounced increase this season. Ellwangee & Barry say that noth- ing which has been introduced recently is likely to prove so popular as the new lilacs. European nursery stock is reported as being sacrificed in the New York auc- tion rooms. Earlier in the season good prices were realized. The Pacific Coast Nurserymen's As- sociation will meet at Portland, Ore., in July. At the West Baden meeting of the American Association an invitation to attend will be extended. D. G. WiEGAND Bruss, who has been visiting the nurseries as far west as Chicago in the interests of Van der Wei j den & Co., Boskoop, Holland, sailed from New York for home on May 16. E. W. Kirkpatrick says that the nursery industry is developing in the southwest at a very rapid pace and that he is pleased to see that the aim almost everywhere is to produce as good stock as is possible. This has been an usually long plant- ing season for the nurserymen, but the day will probably come when each big nursery will have its own artificial cold storage plant and can hold stock dor- mant late in the spring. While it is possibly true that nursery advertising in mediums which reach the small planter are strongest without price quotations, still an advertisement which did not quote a price never yet brought an order without correspondence. Ad- vertising to trade buyers should by all means quote prices. At Fairmont, Minn., B. E. St. John, Sr., and D, G. McKisson have been do- ing business as the Fairmont Nursery Co., but disagreed. Mr. St. John took steps to incorporate under the name of the Fairmont Nursery Co., and Mr. Mc- Kisson secured a temporary injunction to protect his right to use that title. Taking effect today, the new nursery law of West Virginia requires that every nurseryman who employes an agent in that state to take out a li- cense and file a list of his agents, each of whom must carry a certificate from the employer showing his authority to do business for him. Penalties for false labeling and substitution are also provided. THE SEASON'S BUSINESS. The following summaries of the sea- son's nursery trade have been received from well known firms: W. & T. Smith Co., Geneva. N. Y.— In regard to this spring's business, we Mould say that we feel very well sat- isfied with the outcome, as we have cleaned up in nearly all lines. The weather has been particularly favorable for nurserymen, both during the shipping season and the planting. There seems to l)e no very large supply in sight for the coming season, and, if the present de- mand keeps up, we see no reason why thefe should not be another successful year. Albertson & HoBBS, Bridgeport, Ind. — ^The nursery business the past season, as we look at it, has been very satisfac- tory, we think more so than it has been for a number of years. The supply of stock was not as large as at some other times, and has been cleaned up more closely, the surplus consisting principally of odd grades and odd varieties. Many items were exceedingly scarce and hard to find late in the season, and we think the nurserymen generally are in pretty good shape and looking forward to good summer sales for fall delivery. Planting has been very successful, so far as our observations go, and stock is starting ofi nicely. Do not know of any unusual fea- tures. Demand seems to have be«n good for almost all kinds of stock and es- pecially heavy for ornamental stock. D. S. Lake, Shenandoah, la. — The spring trade in this section was very good. The shipping season opened up early and continued late. I think salable stock was pretty well cleaned up here in the west. Cherries especially were in great demand. Nursery stock at this point came through the winter in prime condition, and spring plantings are starting off nicely. We are having favor- able rains and as far as I can see the outlook for future business is very en- couraging. CUTTING THE APPLE. A leading European firm recently came into possession of two speci- mens of the Spencer seedless apple, which is also now talked of as coreless. After showing these to a large number of interested people, some of whom expressed incredulity and thought that the apples were no different from others, it was resolved to cut the apples and the affair resolved itself into some- thing of a "function," with the atten- dance of a large number of nurserymen, fruit growers and representatives of the press. The cutting took place in London on the afternoon of May 2. There was a moment of breathless silence as the two specimens were quartered, then an exclamation and a laugh, for the apples had both cores and seeds. There is no information as to the source from which these specimens came, but no one' fa- miliar with all the circumstances is ready to believe that the seedless apple, to say nothing of the coreless one, is anything more than a fake. THE BROWN-TAIL MOTH. Trees from which the winter nests of the brown-tail moth have been removed will need no further protection against this pest during the spring or early summer. The remedy of cutting and burning the winter nests, if thoroughly carried out, is suflBcient. Where this has not been done it is still not too late to combat the pest. Arsenical poisons, such as Paris green or arsenate of lead will kill the cater- pillars feeding upon sprayed leaves. Arsenate of lead is much to be preferred because the most delicate foliage is not injured by its presence and also because it remains longer upon the leaves, lessening the need of frequent spraying. Wherever the winter remedy has been neglected, it is urged that a constant watch be kept this spring for the caterpillars in order that they may still be killed by spraying. DWARF BOX! 8 to 6 iDche*.

Y, Mention Tht- K<>Ttew wben yoa write. PACIFIC COAST. La Grande, Ore. — Wm. Gilpin 's greenhouse was recently destroyed by fire. The loss was almost total, the in- surance being light. GREEN APHIS. In some localities on the Coast, this season, we are having an extra amount of green aphis to contend with on our rose bushes, especially on the plants we are cutting blooms from for market. These pesky little insects become a pest and, although they usually do not stay with U3 for many weeks at a time, they make it very disagreeable to handle stems of flowers on which they are con- gregated. It is the usual custom among dealers to recommend whale-oil soap, but I have found that water applied by either a hose or force pump is the clean- est and easiest way to get; rid of all kinds of aphides. If it is possible to reach the plants with a hose, it is a very easy proposition to spray them off in a few seconds, and it will be sur- prising to know that the next day only about one quarter as many will be seen and on the third day just an odd in- sect or two can be found, and no more bother will be experienced for a couple of weeks. This is not quite as lasting as whale oil soap, but it is much easier handled, costs less and leaves the flower and stem much cleaner than it would be otherwise. I always spray the plants late in the afternoon, when there is no danger of burning the flowers. If the plants are situated too far from a faucet to be reached with a hose, I use a bucket and spray puuip with the same results. G. SAN FRANOSCO. Tlie Market Business continues quiet, with flowers of all kinds in abundance. The weather has turned warm again and outdoor stock is plentiful. Sweet peas are ex- tra fine this season, owing to the con- tinued growing weather, and they are the most popular flowers at present. They cost the retailers about 75 cents per dozen bunches, but will be cheaper in a few days. Carnations are good and are selling from 15 to 35 cents per dozen wholesale. There is a good de- mand for fancy stock, but the shorter and weaker stemmed flowers are hard to dispose of. Roses are in the' same condition. There is an overproduction of the medium grade, and extra Beau- ties and Maids are in short supply. L. longiflorum is selling at $1.50 to $2 per dozen. ■ Valley brings $3 per hundred. Peonies are plentiful and sell at from $3 to $4 per hundred. Maidenhair fern is much better than it has been for some time. Smilax is very scarce. The dealers are waiting for the school com- mencements and Decoration day and from appearances there will be plenty of trade in a few days. Various Notes. A visit to the grounds of D. 0. Mills, at Millbrae, shows many improvements in the planting line in prospect. There was little sale for the Easter paper bells shown in the local stores. The florists have put them away for Christmas decorations. Sievers & Co. are in line with a splen- did showing of new pelargoniums, of which this firm makes a specialty. Park Fellows, of Oakland, is cutting some fine orchids. A Japanese firm has opened a retail store on the grounds leased from R. Turnbull, at Fruitvale, Mr. Turnbull having retired from the florist business. James Miller, of East Oakland, the veteran flower-pot maker, celebrated his golden wedding last week. Clarke Bros., of Fruitvale, will plant heavily of Boston Market carnation the coming season. It has done remarkably well with them. Thos. O'Neill, of Haywards, will take a month's vacation in Oregon. He starts in a few days. Landscape gardeners are much in de- mand in Berkeley. There are at present over fifty residences in the course of construction in the neighborhood of the University. G.

Baker St., SAN FRANCISCO, CAL .T'-; ••'?'-" May 18, 1905. ; The Weekly Florists" Review* 1605 want to sterilize it. What size pipe should I use, %-ineh or 1-inch? How far apart should the pipes be placed? How deep should they be buried? I can rent a steam boiler of almost any size. Will one of six or eight horse-power furnish steam enough or would a smaller one do? Can I ster- ilize one-half of one of these houses at a time? What should the thermometer indicate laid on the surface of the soil? How long should the heat be maintained ? A. L. H. The best size to use will be 1-inch pipe placed twelve inches apart and bur- ied in the soil twelve inches. A steam boiler of six horse-power should be am- ply large enough. I think half a house at a time would be the best way to pro- cefed. The soil should be brought to a heat of 212 degrees, but a thermometer laid on the surface of the soil would hardly give the correct indication; better get what is known as a bottom heat ther- mometer and insert it in the soil just deep enough so that the mercury can be seen when it rises to the required heat. This will give you the correct tempera- ture to which your soil has been brought. When once your soil has been brought to 212 degrees, there is no necessity of maintaining the heat for any length of time, as any nematodes "in the soil should be killed by the time that heat is at- tained. Regarding the mealy bug, though the sterilizing would kill any/ in the soil, there is sure to be some of these harbor- ing in the crevices of the woodwork of the house and some other means should be adopted for their destruction. The best method to destroy them is to give all the woodwork of the house, and also brickwork, if there is any, a good coat of paint. I have found this the best way of cleaning a house of this pest, but the work must be thoroughly done to make sure that all crevices are covered. If the house does not require painting, kerosene can be used with good effect, painting everything over closely with it. This will kill all the mature insects and also destroy the eggs. Hydrocyanic acid gas might be em- ployed for their destruction, but this would only kill the live insects and would not reach those in the egg stage unless successive applications were given to catch them as they hatched. The length of time required for hatching varies ac- cording to the temperature of the house. In a cold house they will lie dormant all winter and hatch out in spring, after the temperature of the house has been kept anywhere from 50 to GO degrees for a week or two, so that it is hard to tell just at what intervals the gas should be applied to be most effective. The surest way is painting. W. S. Ckoydon. Fargo, N. D. — Bowers Bros, have the contract at $3,950 for erecting the new greenhouse at the State Agricultural College. Grand Eapids, Mich.— Chas.

The rail- way appliance exhibition livened things for the past ten days, a good many palms and vases of cut flowers being used to decorate the bootlis. A. Gude & Bro. had 250 palms and bay trees rented. J. R. Freeman, Z. D. Blackistone and J. L. Loose also had a good many plants there. Stock is plentiful. Boses are showing the effect of the hot weather. A. Gude & Bro. entered their single horse delivery wagon at the Chevy Chase horse show and captured the second prize. Fred Miller, of Gude & Bro.'s, has gone to the Lewis and Clark ex- position at Portland, Ore., for five months. He will be at the old stand in the fall. The boys here are getting in good shape for the immortelle flag contest. Otto Baure will be one of the competitors for the prize. Several out-of-town florists have been heard from. All communica- tions for this prize should be addressed to Wm. F. Gude, president of the Flo- rists' Club, for the present. Rambler. Bowler's Notice. F. H. Kramer, chairman of the com- mittee which has in charge the ladies' bowling contest at the approaching S. A. F. convention would like to hear from all teams which will be represented here in August. The information is needed as to teams and individuals so that arrangements can be made. The prizes will be numerous and the contest will be a record-breaker. Mr. Kramer states that there are already two prizes, one to the value of $50 and the other $40. His address is 916 F Street, Washington. WORUyS FAIR AWARDS.

The Market The weather has been so uncertain the past two weeks that it might b« said it was unfavorable for the flower buyer. Still no complaint has been heard from the -retailers. There has been no scar- city of stock, and prices remain atxmt normal. Carnations are in plentiful sup- ply with the exception of red. They re- tail for from 50 cents to $1.50 per dozen, but these prices are likely to advance slightly for Decoration day, as the sup- ply is then always short of the demand. American Beauties are coming in quan- tity and the quality good. Long stems bring $6 to $7 per dozen, while the shorter and medium lengths can be had at from $2 to $5. The receipts of Brides and Maids have been rather larg- er than the requirements, the white stock cleaning up perhaps better on account of the demand for funeral material. A very large stock of Liberty is being cut and quality is exceptionally fine. Sweet peas are plentiful and of good quality and color. Owing to the exceptionally cold spring it is almost impossible to make any an- nouncement on the part of the retailers, regarding the flower supply for Decora- tion day. Other than roses and carna- tions, the prospect is that there will be lilacs and snowballs. If the weather is warm red peonies will be obtainable, but the supply of pink and white is doubt- ful. Banquet Decoration. The principal event of the week was the banquet tendered to President Roose- velt on his way east after his hunting trip in this state. It was held in the Brown Palace Hotel and was an elab- orate aflFair. About 500 covers were laid. The hotel was elaborately decorated with bunting and flags by the Daniels & Fish- er Stores Co. The decorations on the tables were by the Park Floral Co. and consisted of long Beauties in tall vases and in the center of the lateral table? were mounds of Lawson carnations. Apple blossoms were used on the chan- deliers. The effect as a whole was most pleasing and evoked much favorable comment. The President complimented the guests by delivering a memorable ad- dress in which he outlined what would be the policy of the administration re- garding railroad legislation. The floral craft was represented at the banquet by Mr. Valentine, who reports that the President's address was received with the greatest enthusiasm. Various Notes. Elitch'g Gardens, a famous resort, is being greatly improved for its opening May 28. One of the best features will be the special floral decorations in honor of the various bodies which hold national conventions in Denver this year. There will be special designs for the Grand Army, the Epworth League, the electric light men, and all other organizations. More than 60,000 plants will be used in the construction of these emblematical beds. The floral and electrical display will be larger and better than ever, which is saying a good deal. The Denver business men's excursion to Boise City, Idaho, was a success, cov- ering over 2,100 miles, visiting some Rooted Cuttings aad Hants. 2>i-te. stock. American BemMm..mm Ubateoay 4x0 stock.

The downpour in that time has amounted to over seven inches. The storms were accompanied by heavy wind and several of the grow- ers reported slight damage oi broken glass. Business is somewhat better than at last report, but is nothing to brag of. The amount of stock coming in is still much larger than is neces9t\ry to take care of the demand. Consequently the fakirs and the ash can are getting a good batch of old stock. Roses show the effects of the bad weather and have a mid-summer look. Carnations are better and have good keeping qualities. Brides and Maids are in heaviest supply. Beauties and other red roses continue to sell best and bring the fairest prices. Callas and Harrisii are still in large supply, and sell none too well. Outdoor flowers are abundant. Some fine irisea are offered but move slowly. Sweet peas are none too plentiful and sell pretty well. "Green goods" are scarce for a change and good ferns are especially in demand. Various Notes. During the severe storm of last Fri- day a propagating house on the range of Sunderbruch & Meier, was blown in and was almost a total loss. Several other firms suffered loss of glass but not to any great extent. Many of the growers are very busy with bedding and the demand for this elass of work is very heavy this year. Hanging baskets, too, are being filled by the hundreds and sell well. Popp Bros, are in with their fine pot plants as usual and report trade as be- ing fine. R. D. Ruttle and Miss Oronin, retail florists of Covington, Ky., report a heavy demand for funeral work. R. A. Betz is in Washington Court House to help out Mr. Buck, who has bought the greenhouses and store form- «frly owned by Ed. Helfrich. Mr. Buck also operates a plant at Greenfield, O. The last meeting of the Florists' So- ^ ciety was called off at the last moment, owing to the inability of the officers to be present. The next meeting will be held June 10. when the nomination of offi- cers for the ensuing year will be made. There is a rumor going about that U. Busconi and George & Allan are going to invite the florists to a special meeting at the latter's greenhouses. It is said that there will be all kinds of good things «dible and desirable on hand, to say nothing of bowling, baseball, dancing, etc. We are all in hope that the rumor will prove true.

Peonies may be left in the ground without transplanting some eight or ten years, but longer is undesirable if best results are to be attained. It is some- times stated that peonies may be left in the ground almost indefinitely but this is a mistake if good results are expected. The finest flowers are to be had on mod- erate sized, well grown plants. If plants are left too long in the ground they some- times die out in the center. Propagation. For purposes of propagation plants may be! advantageously taken up more frequently, every two or three years, di- vided with a large, sharp knife, bo as to leave at least one bud with a portion of the root. Peony roots are stiff and un- yielding as well as brittle, so that they are very apt to be broken seriously in dividing. Harrison says, "Let themlie in the shade a few hours and wilt. This toughens them and does not hurt them a particle. You can immediately restorel them to their plumpness by putting them in wet moss, or keeping in or planting in moist earth. This is very important. I tried Harrison's method last autumn, only I left them out of ground for sev- eral days in cool weather. When the roots become somewhat flaccid and yield- ing instead of rigid and brittle, they can then be easily divided without in- jury, even to solid old clumps. They will regain their original plumpness in a few hours' exposure in a damp medium. The small plants after division may be set out in nursery rows, two f^t apart, the plants being about ten to fit- teeii inches apart in the row, according to size. In cutting up, some roots will be broken off and these may be planted with the rest as more or less will grow from adventitious buds starting under these conditions. Actual observations of what proportion will grow from adventitious buds would be desirable, but do not exist as far as I am aware. In propagating if the plants are choice and are cut veTy fine it is desirable to set a frame over them the first winter. As Peterson says, herbaceous peonies of choice varieties may bef propagated by grafting. This method is practiced to some extent; but I think is most unde- sirable for herbaceous plants. Grafting is not expected in such plants and if practiced endless confusion in varieties may occur from the growth of adventi- / tious buds from the stock. If this is done they should be grafted on officinalis stock or some other distinct species, so that shoots from the stock, which are likely to develop, will be strikingly dis- tinct from those developed by the scion. F. L. Temple in 1889 suggested the method of propagating herbaceous peo- nies by heaping up fine rich soil over the crowns; under such conditions he found, by an accidental experiment, that roots and buds developed on the stems, which could then be cut off, leaving the crown intact. Timme recommends this method of deep burial as a means of propagation. Mallett in England also recommends this method of propagation, as he says, "Cover the stools with eight inches of light soil made firm; growths will push through this in spring readily enough and will flower well, but in September the resting buds will be found on inde- pendent stems six inches long and with a mass of roots at their bases. These should be detached and planted forth- with, and the old soil cleared from the stools to admit warmth, when they will develop many buds hitherto latent, and which they always have in reserve. These! will flower in the course of the season. The flowering strength of the stools is but little impaired, but a vigor- ous thinning of several weakly growths may be necessary in the second season. Strong double peonies will often form three or four resting buds on one rooting axis. These may be removed individu- ally with a portion of the stem and its roots attached, potted, and grown on in a little warmth till planting time to en- courage further root action." If this method proves as satisfactory as has been expressed, it may well be a most important means of propagating peonies. As Temple suggested, it would probably be best to fill in thef earth gradually rather than the whole depth at the start, but this is a matter for determination. Leaf-mold being fine, light and retentive of moisture, would it seems be good material for covering. Peonies may be transplanted or dug up for division to best advantage late in August or in September, rather than in October or November, as the roots then have a chance to become established be- fore cold weather. The crowns may be set about three inches below the surface ; deeper planting is undesirable. For per- manent planting peonies should be set three feet apart, or if there is plenty*of room four feet is none too much. If set closer it would be difficult to get betweeti the plants without injuring the blossoms. Character of Plantation. For a limited number of peonies scat- tered planting is desirable, as allowing for the full development of each indi- vidual plant without loss of space. When grown close together the blossoms during a heavy rain or wind are apt to be beaten down and entangled with the flowers and foliage of adjacent plants. Where con- siderable quantities are grown beds are doubtless best, thus having all together, a convenience in watering and other cul- tural treatment; also the effect of mass in a bed is very fine. Plants should be set three feet apart each way in a bed, or better four feet between rows if there is room to spare. Never having had this luxury of space, I can affirm that three feet will do very well. Beds six or nine feet wide and of any convenient length cut in grass and carrying two or three rows of peonies respectively are very attractive and easily got at for handling or inspec- tion. Such beds are good for roses, phloxes, irises or vegetables, which may be grown in rotation with peonies when they have to be taken up. Beds of this cbaractet are used extensively in the Botanic Garden of Harvard University. Fertilizers. A peony well grown, and the same va- riety grown poorly or with average cul- ture, are very different. Unless really well grown one does not know what are the possibilities of this fine flower. Dis- budding distinctly improves the quality of remaining flowers, especially on the larger varieties. In some varieties, how- ever, where profusion of bloom is a fea- ture, they may be left to advantage. As stated by A. H. Fewkes, in an excellent article on peony culture, the lateral buds should be removed as soon as they are large enough to handle, so as to throw all the strength into the leading bud. As he also says, proximity to a hose is an important feature when possible in plan- ning the position of a peony bed, for the free use of watel: in the growing season is a great aid in producing fine flowers. Liquid cow manure, or other liquid ma- nure used during the growing season promotes a vigorous growth and corre- spondingly superior flowers. Wateir from a cesspool is excellent. Sheep manure or other fine manure stirred into the soil about the peonie's in spring works well, being washed down to the roots by rain or watering. In the late fall it is desir- able to put four or flve inches of barn- yard manure above the crown of each plant. This may be done after the tops are cut off and the ground freezes hard ; the manure being dug in in spring. Delicate colored peonies lose their color more or less in strong sunshine, so that for very best results they may be shaded to advantage. By shading I have retained delicate shaded pinks in flowers, which were entirely lost in flow- ers of the same variety grown a few feet away, but not shaded. Of course open- ing flowers in the house has the same effect as shading, saving the delicate colors, and some of the finest blooms one sees are flowers thus opened off the plant. Cutting. Peonies have a great mass of petals, at least the double ones, so that when picked there is a large surface for loss of water. Such being the fact, it is im- portant that they be put into water as quickly as possible after cutting. The best method is to carry a pail or can of water into the garden and put the flowers immediately into water, not even waiting to cut a second bloom. Experi- ment has demonstrated that flowers thus put into water will outlast flowers kept even a few minutes without water. This is especially important for flowers that are to be exhibited, or shipped to a dis- tance. When a peony is on the plant there is a continuous flow of sap to the flower. On cutting, this flow being shut off, from the suction thereby inaugurated it is quite probable that air particles are sucked in. If this is true, such air par- ticles would tend to obstruct the vessels, interfering with the succeeding flow of water. If cut peonies are to be shipped they had best be kept ten or twelve hours in water in a cool place, when they become surcharged with water and travel vastly better than fresh cut blooms. The same principles as regards cutting doubtless would apply to most other flowers as well. MENTION US TO ADVERTISERS.

The Morris County Gardeners' anil Florists' Society held 'its regular meet- ing on May 10. On call of President Heeremans, several members came up with exhibits of both plants and flowers. President Heeremans ctaged a dozen magnificent specimens of calceolaria, grown in 6-ineh and 8-inch pots. The committee on exhibits gave them a cer- tificate of merit. By request of members present Mr. Heeremans promised to read a paper on their culture at our next meeting. A vase of carnations in variety from R. Vince was remarkably good for this time of the year and received cultural com- mendation. Well done specimens of be- gonia and variegated hydrangea were shown by Mr. Miilmichell, gardener to C. A. Work, and received cultural commen- dation. A vase of mixed chrysanthemum blooms, something odd for this time of the year, was put up by C. H. Totty. Baby Eamblers in bloom from John Frazer, gardener for Gustave E. Kissell, were shown in fine form. The possibilities of this rose as a pot-plant were manifest. Clucas & Boddington Co. sent by special messenger sixteen varieties of hardy herbaceous perennials in bloom. They were interesting and instructive, just the things that the florists on private es- tates need at this season of the year. Robt. M. Schultz and Andrew McKen- dry were elected members, and Harry Green, David Pierson and Wm. McCoy were proposed for membership. Our tenth annual flower show will be held in the assembly rooms. Madison. October 26 and 27. 'The schedule can be secured later on, from E. Regan, secre- tary, Morristown, N. J. E. R. KALAMAZOO, MICH. Mrs. Dunkley, who died on April 23. was the widow of the late Joseph Dunk- ley, and was born in Grand Rapids. July 4, 1847. She married Mr. Dunkley in 1878. They had seven children, five of whom are living. They are Myra, Clara, Laura, Charlie and Benjamin. There are also two stepsons, Robert, of Grand Rapids, and Samuel, president of the Dunkley Celery Co., Kalamazoo. Mrs. Dunkley was long a member of the First Presbyterian church. She had been ill since February. The cause of her death was heart failure. The business will be continued under the same name.
