Florists' Supplies — A Complete Line

Having such a large line of Cut Flower buyers who have repeatedly asked us to furnish them
with Florists' Supplies, we have decided to open up January 1, 1906, a Florists' Supply Department with
a complete line of all kinds of Florists' Supplies. This department will be in charge of the most compe-
tent and experienced help. Our floor space will be the largest in the west. Our stock will all be new
and personally selected by a manager of years of experience in the Florists' Supply business. We will
pay cash and sell for cash, thus giving you all the advantages of such transactions. We are confident
we can save you money, supply you with new, clean goods, if you will hold your orders for our January
opening in the Florists' Supply business.

MISCELLANEOUS
SEASONABLE HINTS.

Pot Roses for Easter.

"We are a little late to give hints on
H. P. roses for Easter but it is not too
late as long as nurserymen can dig. The
frosts have well ripened the vpood. Un-
less you have them grovring on your own
place, the stock procured from our homo
nurserymen is the best. "When received do
not do any pruning at the top. Just
pot them in 5, 6 or 7-inch, as they may
require. Use a heavy loam with a
fourth of manure and pot firmly. If
the roots are long, straggling or muti-
lated, shorten them back. "When all are
potted give them a thorough soaking.
Then choose a spot in your garden where
surface water will not lie. Spread an
inch of hay or straw over the surface.
This is only to prevent the pots from
sticking to the earth when the time
comes to remove the plants to the green-
house. Lay the first row of plants on
the ground with their tops pointing to
the end of the bed and quite close to-
gether; then lay another row with the
tops resting over the pots of the first
row, and so on until your space is filled.
Then cover with four or five inches of
earth, or till pots and roses are entirely
covered.

"With ordinary weather the whole mass
will be sure to freeze, but the freezing
and thawing will be so gradual that no
harm will be done and when you lift
them to begin forcing the wood and eyes
will be found sound and plump. The
time of Easter will determine when to
bring them in. Then it is that the prun-
ing is done. The weak shoots should be
cut out entirely and the strong canes
down to three or four strong eyes.

It is not our very finest H. P. roses
that are best adapted to pot culture.
Free-flowering and the characteristic of
opening most of the buds at the same
time are desired. Do not attempt to force
a great variety, but have quantities of
the desired sorts. A lialf dozen most
desirable sorts for this purpose are
Magna Charta, Ulrich Brunner, X'me.

Gabriel Luizet, Baroness Kothschild, Clio
and La France.

Poinsettias.

Just now the small bracts of the poin-
settias ari assuming color, later to be
brilliant pcarlet, and it is also just now,
or a week or two later, that mealy bug
delights to settle down among the true
flowers of this showy plant. "We have in
the past allowed these insects to form
such a colony that we had to take down
each pot or pan and hose each individual
head of bractij. This can be prevented
by the compressed air pump with nico-
tine extract diluted 300 times and give
each head a spray. Nicotine or tobacco
in any form is not death to a healthy
mealy bug but this spray of the solution
will go a long way in preventing them
settling there.

Early Lilies.

And while you have your little pump
at work, and there should b* one of these
useful implements in every establish-
ment, don't forget your early Bermuda
lilies. Many of them are showing their
buds above the leaves. If so, they are
safe, because fumigation in some form
will keep them down, but before the
buds show deep down in the cluster of
leaves the aphis is at work and fre-
quently does much damage and the nico-
tine solution will exterminate this pest.

Speaking of lilies, there is always a
fine sale for the early lilies, particularly
around the holidays. They will, after
they once show the buds, stand a severe
forcing. "V\'e know one establishment
where they cut lilies in abundance
through November and December, and
they subject them to a night tempera-
ture of 70 degrees and even 80 degrees
without injury.

Azaleas for Christmas.

Soon after received you should have
put the azaleas you wanted for Christ-
mos into a strong heat and syringe them
daily imtil the blossoms open. Our ex-

perience with the early forcing varieties
is limited, but we do not believe there are
many varieties that it pays to try. From
its ease in forcing and splendid habit,
Deutsche Perle is, of course, the queen
of them all. Helen Thielmau forces
fairly. It is a rosy carmine. Next to
Deutsche Perle in value is Simon Mard-
ner, of fine compact habit and a rich
Lawson carnation shade of pink. This
variety would outsell Deutsche Perle at
Christmas if you could get it in as well
flowered.

You will have noticed of late that at
Christmas the demand is for deep warm
colors. The universal use of the holly
and the scarlet berry is accountable for
this. Hence the present and growing
popularity of the ephemeral poinsettia.
The other azaleas that will force, al-
though habit and form of the plant are
poor, is Vervajneana, a beautiful mottled
pink and white. If you get those four
varieties into flower you have enough
for Christmas.

Stevia for the Holidays.

A very simple reminder is that if you
grow that very cheap but graceful
flower, Stevia serrata, or sweet stevia,
that yo\i keep it as cool as possible,
anything but freezing. This flower is
in great demand witli us at Christmas
and it is then you want it and can make
it pay. In a temperature of 50 degrees
it will be out and gone before that
season. Florists who grow only roses
and carnations may look upon it as
almost a weed. Not so with our patrons,
whose refined taste want it because it
takes off the stiffness and formality of
our expensive flowers.

Flowering Begonias.

Look out for your young Gloire de
Lorraine just now and for two months
to come. I allude to those you propa-
gated from loaf or cutting in September
and which make your largest plants
next fall. Look over them every few
days and water those that are really
dry. In spite of care a good many will
die, but careful watering will prevent
too great a loss. I hope you grow Be-
gonia incarnatji grandifloia, especially
that variety or sport, Sandeiiana. This
type of begonia is too often a disap-
pointment because it is grown too warm,
shady and moist. Give it about 50 de-
grees at night and all the light you can,
with sun and air, and it will soon bo

What the Model Back Yards were to the Chicago Show, the Italian Garden was at Kansas City.

profuse with its coral-pink, pendant
flowers. A well grown plant of this be-
gonia will outsell the wonderful Lor-
raine.

Camellias.

I notice in some neighbor 's green-
houses, also at home, a few dozen pretty
little imported camellias. A little camel-
lia tree would be a novelty with many
and very attractive. They are mostly
well budded. Now don't try to force

them into flower by fire heat; you can't
do it. You will only force the buds to'
drop off. The only time that a camellia
will bear any forcing is soon after it
has flowered. "When the young growth
starts you can force that young growth
to maturity and it will set its buds
early in the spring and consequently
flower early the following winter, but
you can't force out the buds. Camellias
at all times like lots of water.

THE EXHIBITIONS

INDIANAPOLIS.

The fifteenth chrysanthemum exhibition
took place in Tomlinson hall November 14
to 18, and in every way it was the most
successful flower show ever held in this
city. The weather was ideal all week,
which aided materially in bringing in
large crowds, who were well repaid for
their time and money. The daily papers
also took a great interest in the show
and this, with a lot of posters and other
advertising aroused great interest among
the people, which resulted in a splendid
attendance. Vice-President Fairbanks
opened the show with a short speech in
which he eulogized the florist profession.
The hall was decorated more elaborately
than ever before, the work of Edward
Bertermann, whose equal in this line
would be hard to find. The general man-
agement of the whole enterprise was ex-
cellent, and reflects great credit on John
Bertermann, who was general manager,
and his son Irwin, who is secretary.

The exhibition itself was simply grand.
The quality of the stock was unusually
high. In fact growers who attended
other shows invariably remarked that this
show contained more extra fine stock and
less stock that was below par than any
show they had seen. Some few feared
that on account of other large shows be-
ing held at the same time there might
be a scarcity of entries, but not only was
the large hall well filled, but in some
cases even a little crowding had to be
done to find room for all. Growers all
through this section know that at In-
dianapolis there is always a good show.

good judging, fair treatment and plenty
of friendly competition.

One of the most interesting features
was the competition between E. G. Hill
and Elmer Smith in classes calling for
single blooms on short stems — on mossed
tables. Other rivals have their battles
at their local exhibitions, but these two
gladiators in chrysanthemum culture take
the whole country for their battle ground
and Indianapolis always sees one of their
fiercest bouts. This time it was about
evenly divided. Smith took first on thir-
ty-six varieties, with Hill second, while
Hill took first on twenty-four and on
twelve varieties, with Smith second, but
neither could be certain of the prize until
the judge was through, so close was the
competition. Gunnar Teilmann was here
to take a hand, too. Mrs. Vesey, of Ft.
Wayne, and F. Dorner & Sons Co. sent
a fine lot of stock and took down their
share of prizes. Besides these there were
numerous vases of local blooms, all very
fine and well worthy of premiums.

In carnations, the quality was very
high and the competition strong. No
one grower succeeded in sweeping the
boards, but every large exhibitor suc-
ceeded in taking one or more premiums.
Many vases that were set up with confi-
dence had to take back seats when other
vases of greater excellence were brought
out by other growers. In new varieties,
F. Dorner & Sons Co. and B. Witters-
taetter took the prizes. Dorner 's White
Perfection is a grand thing and Witter-
taetter's Aristocrat showed up fine. Wil-
liam Weber staged My Maryland, Jessica
and a light pink seedling in good shape,
but too late for competition. Victory

was here in fine condition and won many
friends. S. S. Skidelsky showed a vase
of Schroeter's rose pink Enchantress and
booked many orders for it.

The roses were very fine, especially the
Beauties, in which class William Ditt-
man, of New Castle, took first. Rich-
mond was shown in fine shape and at-
tracted much attention, as did also the
varieties Joe Hill and Killarney. The
two rose tables were well arranged with
fine stock.

The single-stemmed chrysa^hemum
plants were very fine and all premiums
were won by a very close margin. Theo.
Bock made an excellent judge and very
little criticism was heard.

On Thursday night the Indiana State
Florists' Society and the Floral Festival
Association jointly banqueted the visit-
ing florists and this, too, was a great suc-
cess. About eighty sat down to the feast.
J. D. Carmody was toast-master. Speeches
were made by many of our prominent
men. We were glad to have our friend
Alexander Guttman, from New York,
with us, though he declined to make us
a speech.

On Saturday, too late for the show,
there arrived a box of fine blooms of the
new rose. Miss Kate Moulton, from Min-
neapolis. Those who saw it commented
very highly on its appearance.

The awards were as follows, the awards
in each class being in the order named:

Oceanic, X. J. — The :\[onmouth
County Horticultural Society will give its
annual dinner January 4. " The exhibi-
tion committee has been instructed to
prepare a schedule of essays for each
meetinor in 1906. .7. N. Paul was elected
a member at the last meeting. The recent
exhibition made a profit.

MILWAUKEE.

The exhibition November 15 to 18 was
the first show Milwaukee has had in sev-
eral years, but it is expected it will be
an annual feature hereafter. The show
was no great financial success, but it is
expected that the receipts will nearly
cover expenses. Many of the growers
who did not exhibit this year have de-
clared their intention to take part in fu-
ture shows. The general effect of the
show was excellent. Messrs. Holton, Poll-
worth and Hunkel are entitled to con-
gratulations on the success of the atfair.

Thursday evening a banquet was given
to exliihitors and visiting florists and
about sixty covers were laid. Among
the out-of-town visitors were Willis
i\. Rudd. L. Coatsworth, Ed. Winterson,
X. J. Wietor, J. C. Vaughan, Jamea
Hartshorne, F. Friedly, F. Hincks, E.
Ruettner, Adam Zender. X, J. Rupp, C.

:Mauff. Denver, Colo.; J. E. Matthew-
•son, Sheboygan, Wis.; Victor Nelson,
Oshkosh, Wis.; Otto Speidcl, Oeonomo-
woc, Wis.; E. Lutz, Joliet, 111. A souv-
enir stein was given by the local florists'
club to each of those attending the ban-
quet.

^Mrs. P. J. Hauswirth, Mrs. George As-
mus, Chicago, and Mrs. T. J. Pereles,
Milwaukee, acted as judges on table dec-
orations, and their work was highly sat-
isfactory to all concerned. The judges
in the general classes were W\ N. Rudd
and Eniil Ruettner, of Chicago, and J.
E. Matthewson, of Sheboygan. The
awards follow:

THE EXHIBITIONS

INDIANAPOLIS.

The lit'iii'uth rhrysant heinuin exhiliition
1 ook placf in Tomlinson hall Ndvendier 14
to IS, and in every wny it was the most
--ui-OL>ssfnt tlii\\i'i- show e\i'r hi'ld in this
.■itv. Tlu' wi'ather was ideal all week,
which aided materially in luinuine in
lariio crowijs. who were well repaid J'or
their tim" and inonev. The daily papers
also toolc :i ui'eat interest in the show
and this, ^\ith a lot of |)osters and other
ad\ertisin<: aroused ei,.;it interest anuui^'
the peopli'. ^\hi(■h resulted in a splendiil
atteudam-e. \iie- President Fairbanks
o|)enod the sliow with ;i >hort speeidi in
which he enloiii/.e(l the Ihuist jirofession.
The hall >\as deror.ated mcue elabor.ately
than e\"i'r bet'oi-e. the work ot' l-.dw.ard
]->ertennanii. whose eijual in this liiu,.'
wouhl lie hard to lind. The <4fneral man-
agement ot' the whole enter|uise was ex-
(ollout. and reflects i^reat credit on John
I ierteniKinn. ^\ ho was <;eneral iminager.
aiul liis s(Ui Irwin, wlui is secretai'v.

The exliibition itself was simply yraiid.
Tlie quality ot' the stoi-k was umisually
liiyh. ]n tact ^I'owers who atti'uded
other slious inxariably remarked that this
show contained more extia line stock and
less stock that ^\as lielow par than any
show they had seen. Some few feared
th.'it on account of other larj^c shows be-
ino held at the s;inn' time there mi;^ht
be a scarcity of entries, but not only was
the lari:e hall well filled, Imt in some
cat^os e\eii a litth; crowdine had to be
done to tind romn for all. (irowers .all
tlirouf;h this section know that at In-
diaiia]>oli^ there is alw.ays a eood show.

<iood judiiinfi, fair treatment and plenty
of friendly conijiotition.

One of the most interesting features
was the competition between K. (J. Hill
and i-]lnicr Smith in classes calling for
siiiyle blooms on .short stems — on mtissod
tables. Otlier rivals have tlieir battles
at their local exhibitions, but these two
ylailiators in chrysanthemum culture take
the whole country for their battle grouiui
and Indianapolis always sees one of their
tiercest louts. This time it was alxiut
evenly divided. Smith took first on thir-
ty-six varieties, with Hill second, while
Hill took first on twcidy-four and on
twelve varieties, with Snntli second, l)ut
neither could be certain of the prize until
the Judge w:is tiirough. so (dose was the
com|)etition. C.uiinar Teilmann was here
to take a hand, too. ]\lrs. Vesey. of Ft.
Wayne, and V. Dorner tic Sons Co. sent
a line lot of stock and took down tlndr
share of prizes. Hesides these there were
miinerous vases of local blooms, all very
liiM' and well wortliy of premiums.

In carnati(Mis, the i|uality was very
lugh and the competition strong. No
one grower succeeded in .sweeping the
boards, l)ut every large exhibitor suc-
ceeded in taking oin^ or more ]iremiums.
Many vases that were set up with confi-
dence had to take liack seats when other
vases of greater excellence were brought
cnit by othei' growers. In new varieties,
I'. Dorner A. Sons ( o. ami IJ. Witters-
taetter took the |>rizes. Horner's White
l'erfe(dion is a grand tiung ami Witter-
taetter's Aristocrat showed n]i fine. Wil-
liatn Widier staged j\Iy INIarylaml.' .Jessica
and .1 light junk siedling in good shajie.
but too late for competition. \'ictorv

was here in fine condition and won many
friends. S. S. Skidelsky showed a vase
of Schroeter's rose pink iMichantress and
booked many orders for it.

The ro^es were very fine, especially the
l-{eanti('s, in which class William Hitt-
nian, of New Castle, took first. Kich-
iiHuul was shown in fine shape and at-
tracted much attention, as did also the
varieties Joe Hill and Killarney. Tin-
two rose tables were well arranged with
fine stock.

The single-stemmed chrysanthemum
jilants were very fine and all premiums
were won by a very close margin. Theo.
l^ock made an excellent judge and very
little criticism was heard.

On Thursday night the Indiana State
Florists' Society and the Floral Festival
Association jointly baiujueted the visit-
ing llorists and this, too, was a great suc-
cess. About eighty sat down to the feast.
,1. U. Carmody was toast-nmster. Speeches
were made by many of our prominent
nu'ii. We were glad to have our friend
Alexander (luttinan, from New York,
with us, though he declined to make us
a speech.

On Saturday, too late for the show,
tin re arrived a box id' iine blo(uns of the
iH'w rose, .Miss Kate .Moultou, from Min-
neajiolis. Those who saw it commented
\ery highly on its appearance.

The awards were as follows, the awards

TORONTO.

The Ontario Horticultural Association
held its second annual exhibition No-
vember 14 to 18, in Massey hall, which
was without exception the greatest ex-
hibition, from the horticulturist's stand-
point, yet held in Canada. The fruit and
vegetables were exceptionally fine, and
the entries large. This, together with the
lectures and exhibits from the exper-

imental farms, was very instructive to
our fruit and vegetable growers, who
were present in large numbers.

In the floral sectiocs, the competition
was keen and the quality very high.
Nearly every class necessitated very close
judging. Robert Flowerday, of Detroit,
who was judge, was heard to remark
that the quality in most classes was such
that he would like to award two or three
firsts in each class.

One of the principal contests was in
the decorated table, with five entries.
This was judged by Mrs. Mortimer
Clark, wife (ff the lieutenant-governor,
and a party of twelve of the most prom-
inent ladies of the city. Their awards
were as follows: The Rosery, first, with
a handsomely decorated table of orchids
ajid valley; Dunlop, second, with Liber-
ty roses and valley; J. S. Simmons,
; third, with Queen roses and violets. The
I array of cut glass and silverware in this
i exhibition was certainly a sight, and was
loaned by our best jewelers and caterers.
The other exhibitors were W. Jay &
Son, with a table of American Beauties,
and the T. Eaton Co., with the lovers'
knot made of violets. This was a nice
table but the piece was too large for the
table.

The other class in which there was
keenest competition was for the standing
crescent wreath on a 20-inch frame. J.
S. Simmons was first, with a beautiful
piece surmounted on a basket base; the
base was made of Harrisii Hlies and
mums, and wreath of valley and roses
finished with swainsona VHth some
cattleyas to give it color. The Rosery
was second, W. Jay & Son third; and F.
Grice, fourth.

The judge for chrysanthemums, cut,
plants and groups, was Geo. Robinson,
Montreal, and for carnations, roses and
mad^-up work, R. Flowerday, of Detroit.

The principal exhibitors and premium
winners in the classes for chrysanthe-
mum and miscellaneous plants were the
Steele-Briggs Seed Co., A. McHardy,
Allan Gardens, Exhibition Park, W. Jay
& Son, Manton Bros., D. H. Fugder and
O. B. Osier.

On cut chrysanthemums, the principal
exhibitors were Manton Bros., J. Gam-
mage & Son, Dale Estate, J. H. Dun-
lop. T. McHugh, R. Jennings, Steele-
Briggs Co., W. J. Lawrence and R.
Cameron.

On roses, J. H. Dunlop was first for
ten yellow, white, crimson, new, ten
Beauty and twenty-five Beauty, second
for ten pink, light pink and any other
color; third for best fifty. Dale Estate
was first for ten pink, light pink and
any other color; second for ten yellow,
white, new, ten Beauty and twenty-five
Beauty. J. S. Simmons was first for fifty
any variety. Other premium winners
were W. J. Lawrence, Manton Bros,
and The Rosery.

KANSAS CITY.

Viewed from any point, the Kansas
City show was a great success. The ex-
hibitors were many, the exhibits fine, the
attendance large, and, with the exception
of the last day, the weather was per-
fect. Everything went smoothly. For
artistic effect and arrangements this
show excelled its predecessors. From
^Vheeler's splendid orchestra, which fur-
nished the music throughout the week, to
the Italian villa, with its myriads of
olectric lights at the. north end of the
hall, the whole effect was Italian. The
ground floor of the building was an ar-
tistic arrangement of flower beds and
walks. A car-load of southern smilax
was used in the decorations. Samuel
Murray's first-prize collection of Lor-
raine begonias occupied a position in the
center of the hall, while W. L. Eock's
splendid display of ferns on the right
of the entrance was the best exhibit of
the kind ever seen in this city and at-
tracted much attention. Taken as a
whole, the fern display was the best fea-

ture of the show, and, according to many
of the visitors, excelled the fern displays
of any of the other shows held this year.
The F. E. Pierson Co. exhibited Nephro-
lepis elegantissima which received spe-
cial mention. The Baby Eambler incu-
bator was always the center of an ad-
miring group.

The chrysanthemum sweepstakes went
to H. W. Buckbee. The prize was a sil-
ver cup, offered by the Foley Mfg. Co.,
Chicago.

The awards of the earlier days were
published in last week's Eeview. Here

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

November 23, 1905.

Show Notes.

Director Goodman has proved himself
the right man in the right place. Under
his direction the shov? has been brought
to a successful conclusion without any
of the hard feelings that are sometimes
caused.

Thursday and Friday were the big
days in point of attendance.

Special credit is due to W. L. Rock,
W. J. Barnes and Samuel Murray for
the success of the show. These gentle-
men have done all in their power to help
the show along, and have shown a public
spirit that is commendable.

W. J. Barnes received two special
prizes, one for a collection of fern dishes
and another for six plants of Nephro-
lepis pectinata.

No record was kept of the visitors,
who were many. Chicago was well rep-
resented. Otto G. Koenig brought a
party of eight from St. Louis Wednes-
day. Denver also sent quite a delega-
tion, including, J. A. Valentine, A. E.
Mauff and Emil Glauber. H. A. Muel-
ler, of Wichita, Kan.; E. G. Eue, of St.
Joseph, and W. E. Chapin, of Des
Moines, also visited the show.

The photographs reproduced in this
issue, and many others made for exhib-
itors, were taken by J. E. Davison, the
Kansas City photographer. The large
oval showing the crowd on Thursday
night is a flashlight. Kay-See.

THE SOLANUM.

Will you kindly tell me when Solanum
sapsicastrum, or Jerusalem cherry, should
be sown to have good plants for Christ-
mas 1907, also regarding the growing
of it? E. S. F.

Seeds should be sown in February or
March and placed in a temperature of 60
degrees, with bottom heat if possible.
As soon as they are large enough ; that is,
after they get the first pair of character
leaves, they should be put into 2-inch pots
and kept growing till after the danger of
frost is past. They should then be
planted out on rather poor soil, which
will give a more compact plant than if
the soil is rich. Lift and pot before
frost and shade lightly for a few days
until root action commences. A tempera-
ture of 55 degrees at night is usually
sufficient to bring them into good condi-
tion for the holidays. R.

FORGET-ME-NOTS.

Will you please tell us if forget-me-
nots will come into bloom satisfactorily
if small plants are potted off now and
when should they be in flower? What is
the proper treatment? S. B.

When we grew this plant, which we
did largely once, we planted the small
plants on the edge of a carnation bench
in September and they began to flower
about Christmas, but flowered much more
profusely as the season advanced. I
am sorry I cannot give the specific name
of the one we grew, but it was a good
one and gave us long sprays in abund-
ance. They propagated very easily from
cuttings and almost any soil suits and a
carnation house temperature is about
right. W. S.

CYANIDE FOR THRIPS.

Will you kindly inform me what is the
trouble with my violets? I send you a
sample of the blooms. A great many
of them go the same way. The plants
are in good condition. Is it for want of
feeding? If so, what would you ad-
vise giving them? F. P. B.

In reply to this query, 1 am sorry to
say that the sample blooms that were
sent were so dry and shriveled when they
reached me that it was very hard to tell
very much about them, but by the num-
ber of black aphis that survived the
journey, the probabilities are that they
are your principal trouble, if not the
only one, as you say the plants are in
good condition. This is a very unpleas-
ant state of affairs for any grower to

find things in ; however, the old saying
is that "misery loves company" and by
the number of inquiries this fall along
the same line you are evidently not alone
in having to take strong measures for
their immediate destruction.

The formula for fumigating with hy-
drocyanic acid gas has been given so
many times in these columns that I do
not need to repeat it; but, of course, this
is what you will have to use, at once
and thoroughly, if you are situated so
that you can without danger to your help
or neighbors. In all probability one
fumigation will not be sufficient to en-
tirely eradicate them, and for that rea-
son you will want to follow it up at a
few days' interval by one, two or, per-
haps, three more fumigations, all de-
pending on how well the aphis have estab-
lished themselves.

You will find that some growers who
use this gas for fumigating will advise
setting off small charges the last thing at
night and leaving the house closed until
morning; while others will say to do the
work in the daytime, using heavier
charges and leaving the houses closed
only twenty or thirty minutes, but as ki
everything else, I would try both ways
thoroughly and follow up the plan that
observation told me worked the best for
me. Personally, as I said in answer to
a querj^ a short time ago, we prefer,
after having given both ways trials, to
use the gas in the daytime.

The eft'ectiveness of the fumigation de-
pends a great deal on taking a good time
for it. You want a day when you have
a nice, clear, dry air, and not so cold
that you cannot open the houses to their
fullest extent when the time is up. It
is also better that the plants should not
have been watered or sprayed that day,,
or the day previously, as the plants
should be dry, although by this I do not
mean that they should be wilted or over-
dry, only that they should not have any
moisture standing on them. It is also
well, if it comes so you can, to have
a cloudy day, so as not to have the tem-
perature run up too high while the
house is closed.

As the gas is very light and rises rap-
idly, you will want to see to it that your
house is tight, as it takes only a few
cracks here and there, a corner broken out
of a light in one place and a hole of

some sort in another, to render the fumi-
gation quite ineflfective.

Another thing that some may think I
am over-particular about, is the danger
connected with the use of this gas, but
under no condition trust anybody who is
at all inclined to carelessness to have
anything to do with it, for there is no
known remedy for it if you get a dose of
it, "except the undertaker," as my
family physician said one day in speaking
of it. If you have any doubt of the
rapidity with which it works, do as I

did once, leave in the house a cat that
you have no further use for where you
cau see it, yourself standing at a safe
distance outside, and to the windward,
and see* how suddenly she will stop in
her perambulations. This one was walk-
ing along as naturally as possible and
had just raised her foot to step over a
low cross iron to a bench, when
she stopped in that position and never
stirred again, evidently not knowing what
struck her and not suffering at all, as it
acts on the heart. E. E. Shuphelt.

BLIND WOOD.

I notice the advice given by Eibes on
page 1493 of your last issue, in a case
of excessive amount of blind wood on
roses. The complaint suggests two
things to my niind: First, the possibility
that the plants may have been propagat-
ed from blind wood, which is a great
disadvantage in flower production; sec-
ond, that the plants lack vigor, which
might be induced by the use of a good
dressing of cow manure and a severe
pruning of the blind wood. The blind
wood has no commercial value and serves
vital functions of the plant as well as,
and in the place of, profitable bloom-
bearing wood. The shock to the plants
resulting from a severe pruning in re-
moving blind wood by cutting it back to
a strong dormant eye, together with an
application of quickly available plant
food, preferably in the form of a mulch
of fresh cow manure, will I believe, have
the desired effect. This treatment has
been used by the writer with good re-
sults and it is a common practice with
fruit growers. What is needed is a flush
of vigorous new wood. Food and prun-
. ing are the most certain means of secur-
ing rank new growth. It will, at least,
do no harm to try the plan on a few
plants. L. C. Corbett.

The most floriferous plants will, of
course, not have such a wealth of wood
to select from, but an effort should be
made to get this class of wood where
possible.

Having used this method of selecting
wood for many years with good results,
I can recommend it with every confi-
dence.

By selecting well ripened, short-jointed
wood, there is a possibility of getting a
batch of cuttings of the same condition
of ripeness, wliich will naturally make a
more uniform root formation in the same
period than if the extra long stems are

used. These long stems can only have a
few eyes on their whole length equally
ripe, so if we use the eyes at the bottom
of the stem and the eyes near the top we
cannot expect a uniform period of root
formation, as the eyes which have been
in the proper condition for propagating
purposes will naturally be ready to pot
before the others, thus protracting and
making the whole bench irregular and
running the risk of losing a big percent-
age of the foliage.

The cuttings should, if possible, have
two eyes, and where the joints are close
enough to admit of it, three eyes. They
should have plenty of room in the bench,
so that the leaves do not overlap, as this
retards the drying out of the foliage
after spraying, which is most essential
to the well being of the cutting.

The sand should never be allowed to
become dry, as this is certain to cause
the leaves to drop and, however well
the cuttings may be rooted, such cuttings
will never attain that vigor necessary to
the best succes.s. Overwatering will pro-
duce the same result.

The bench should be shaded during
bright weather for the first two weeks,
or until the callus has formed, when they
can be gradually exposed to the full sun-
light.

To have stock ready for benching in
May, propagating should be accomplished
before the end of December. For June
benching, January propagation is early
enougli. Kibes.

TOO WARM AND DRY.

AMERICAN BEAUTIES.

In selecting wood for the propagation
of American Beauties it is wisdom to
avoid all those plants the foliage of
which is the least bit off color, as they
will be almost certain to shed their leaves
before forminfj roots and, even though
they do form roots, they are certain to
have a poor constitution.

In nearly every Beauty house there will
also be found plants showing extra strong
growth, but which show an obstinacy
in forming flower buds. These should
also be avoided, as wood taken from
such plants is sure to perpetuate this
characteristic to a certain degree.

they have been grown in too high a tem-
perature and with an insufficiency of
ventilation at night. The scalding of
the leaves is the result of the high and
dry temperature, which forces the fo-
liage to give off moisture more rapidly
tlms->the roots can supply it.

Kgfluce the i?ight temperature to 56
degrees and keep the air sweet by ade-
quate ventilation ; also keep the paths
wet to help maintain a moist atmos-
phere.

I also find evidence of the presence of
red spider. By keeping the syringe go-
ing this may easily be overcome, and the
very fact of using water in this manner
vtill charge the atmosphere with a suffi-
ciency of moisture to keep the foliage in
good condition. The most of these
leaves are so far enfeebled that they are
of little use to the plant, and the main
object should be to take care of the
young foliage as it develops. Ribes.

A NEW ILLINOIS PLANT.

The accompanying illustration gives
an idea of the character of the new es-
tablishment of W. B. Davis & Co., at
Aurora, 111. There are seven houses 27x
200 feet. The gutters are seven feet
from the ground. An interesting feature
is that hollow bricks were used for the
walls, set in concrete foundations. The
boiler house is 40x65 feet, in addition
to which there is a frame building for
the office and packing shed. Two large

SUPPORTING FREESIAS.

We have 60,000 freesias growing in
flats four inches deep. Would it be
good to top-dress them with sheep
manure? They lop down quite some.
Will it hurt them? If so, how can I
tie them up? A. R.

The freesias should be supported by
some arrangement so that they can con-
tinue growing without falling over. I
frequently see an arrangement of poul-
try netting supported some four or five
inches above the bed, and this seems to
meet the requirement. The mulching of
sheep manure should be diluted with
three times its bulk of soil before being
applied, as the soil will absorb and re-
tain the released gases for future use.

TOBACCO EXTRACT.

Would like to know if tobacco extract,
taken from tobacco stems, steamed
through the houses will have the same
effect in killing insects as smoking has.
Tobacco stems do not cost us anything
and I thought of taking a pan and let-
ting the steam pipe run through it so
that when filled with juice it would
steam through the house. W. A. S.

Evaporating tobacco or some nicotine
extract was very much in vogue some
ten years ago, especially in rose houses,
where tobacco smoke is an undoubted in-

The New W. B. Davis & Co. Plant at Aurora, Ul

jury. The objection to that method was
that the moisture made the growth soft.
The usual plan was a joti of steam into
an iron vessel filled with a bushel of
chopped tobacco stems. Another plan
was to have small tin troughs made to
fit on 1^4 -inch steam pipes and keep
them filled with tobacco, which would be
continually evaporating. You can run
a steam pipe through your tobacco liquid
and it will do all that smoke will do and
will be less hurtful to many plants.

W. S.

EFFECT OF FROST.

Would frost damage a range of green-
houses consisting of four houses each
14x70, built on the Dietsch short-roof
plan? The houses have 7-foot walls and
li^-inch supporting posts. The posts are
well set in concrete. The houses have
no partition walls. The temperature sel-
dom falls to 20 decrees below zero. These
houses will be entirely completed by
January 1. The owner does not wish
to plant until next spring, and does not
wish to heat these houses. Will the frost
raise the concrete posts enough to crack
the glass and do other damage to the
houses? L. A. R.

It depends a good deal on the charac-
ter of the foundation or subsoil whether
the frost will affect the walls. If the
subsoil is of a gravelly nature the frost
will have little or no effect upon it. I
think you will be safe enough to go
ahead and get the house ready, so as to
be ready for spring. The writer has had
houses under his care in Canada where
the thermometer would run to 46 degrees
below zero and these houses have for
years withstood the frost without heaving
and without being heated. It roigrht,
however, be advisable to spread some
litter or leaves along the walls as a

protection.

R.

RED TUBEROSE.

I mail under separate cover a red tube-
rose. This is one of three produced from
the same bulb and, although this one is
not so perfect or so large as the former
ones, it may answer to show you the
freak. This bulb was planted with
others on clay soil, where the ground
had been graded off and, although the
first bloom was pure white, the top of
the stalk produced variegated flowers,

steam boilers are employed for heating,
with a brick chimney ninety feet high.
They have a switch running past the
boiler shed and the ends of the houses,
which greatly cheapens the handling of
coal and fertilizer.

An idea of the celerity with which this
plant was put up may be gained from
the fact that the photograph was taken
on November 8, just nine weeks from
the day work was begun.

derful affair, still Milwaukee did very

all striped or mostly solid red. Can you
explain the freak and do you know of
any similar cases? S. B. S.

The specimen flower arrived in fair
condition. The color appeared to be a
deep red, almost a crimson. It is doubt-
ful whether there is a great future for
colored tuberoses. White is its color, as
blue is for violets. I do not know that
anyone can account for these variations
in color in flowers, sports or bud varia-
tions as the great Darwin called them,
but they have given us some of the most
valuable of our florists' flowers. Possi-
bly soil has more influence than any
other. Now that ^ou have such a radi-
cal change of color in this favorite
flower, it is more than likely you will get
further variation and if you could get a
pure pink it would be a valuable novelty.
W. S.

DISEASED PLANTS.

Will you please state what is the mat-
ter with the plants I send? The trouble
began about two or three years ago, with
cinerarias, then spread to geraniums,
gloxinias, fuchsias, etc. The plants sent
show the disease better than I could de-
Bcribe it. I have tried Bordeaux mixture,
etc., to no avail. The disease always be-
ginn with young seedlings or cuttings.
If there is a remedy please indicate it.
B. B.

When the specimens arrived they were
too much aried up to distinguish any par-
ticular disease. From the description
this seems a very bad case and, what is
strange, it spreads over such a variety,
If it was one kind of plant and we knew
its treatment we might find a cause. As
it is we should advise your getting the
nearest good gardener to examine your
condition and if there was nothing visibly
wrong then you should have your soil and
water analyzed. ' W. S.

I can say little on the subject and
must state at the start that those hor-
ticultural builders who talked posts and
boards were not so far wrong, because
good Tennessee red cedar posts and cy-
press boards as sheathing will last
through your natural life, unless you be-
long to the Methuselah family. Twenty-
five years ago, when we first started to
build, we began nobly, with more am-
bition than dollars. We dug a trench
three feet deep and built an 18-inch

STONE WALLS.

We are contemplating using stone for
the walls of greenhouses to be built next
year and we would like some advice
from some one in regard to their desir-
ability. We have asked some of the
greenhouse builders, but they are more
interested in selling posts, etc. We
thought possibly you might think it
worth while to discuss that matter in
your letters in the Review. What we
would like is an opinion on whether
stone walls are desirable and how thick
they need be. Also how the roof would
best be placed upon them. Z. K. J.

stone wall which came six inches above
the grade of the surrounding surface. On
to the wall we anchored a 2x12 pine sill
and from that nailed on our studding,
or posts. All water or moisture trickled
down onto the pine plate, which in five
years was thoroughly rotten. The only
redeeming feature in this wasted money
was the fact that two feet six inches
of this wall, or foundation, was laid up
dry. No mortar was used between the
stones and it was the means of acting
as a good drain, always keeping the sur-
face of the greenhouse dry; otherwise
it was several hundred dollars buried.

Ours is a neighborhood of many flint
and limestone quarries. All the basements
•^f our dwellings are built of limestone
and I can say from the authority of
practical masons that eighteen inches in
thickness is the least you can build. If
you have stone at a very trifling cost
there is no reason why you should not
use it for an exterior wall, and let the
first two feet in the foundation be laid
up dry. When you finish off at the top
of the wall you will, of course, anchor on
a plate beveled both ways to throw the
water in or out and from that your roof
springs. A 12-inch brick or 8-inch ce-
ment wall may Jook neater, but if to
you the stone is cheaper, then use it. I
cannot think of any reason why not.

SCX)T AS FERTILIZER.

What properties has coal soot that
make it useful as a fertilizer? What
effect does it have on the plants? What
quantities is it safe to use? N. G.

Soot from bituminous coal is frequent-
ly used by gardeners on outside crops
and also by florists on greenhouse crops
with good results. The analysis shows
that in 1000 parts it contains: Charcoal,
371 ; salts of ammonia, 426 ; salts of
potassium and soda, 24 ; oxide of iron,
50 ; silica, 31 ; sulphate of lime, 31 ;
carbonate of magnesia, 2.

The fertilizing effect of a top-dressing
of soot is very decided and seems in a
great degree to be due to the presence
of sulphate and chloride of ammonium.
To get the best results as a top-dressing
it should be diluted with twice its bulk
of good fresh soil and put on the bench
very thinly, about one bushel to each
500 square feet of surface.

It is also an excellent material to use

that the jnoisture made the growth soft.

EFFECT OF FROST.

Would frost damage a range of gieeii-
houses consisting of four houses each
14x70, luiilt on the Dietsch short-roof
plan? The houses have 7-foot walls and
fij-inch sui)porting posts. The posts are
well set in concrete. The houses have
no jtartition walls, 'i'lie temperature sel-
dom falls to L'O degrees liehiw zero. These
houses Avill Ite entirely idiniileted by
January 1. The owner il<ii\s not wish
to ]>lant until next s])riiig. and does not
wish to heat these houses. Will the frost
raise the concrete jiosts enougli to crack
the glass and do other damage to the
houses? L. A. R.

It depends a goi^d deal on the charac-
ter of the foundation or subsoil whether
the frost will affect the walls. If the
subsoil is of a gravelly natiiie the frost
will have little or no effect \ipou it. I
think you will bo safe em ugh to go
ahead and get the house ready, so as to
lie ready for spring. The writer has had
houses under his care in </anada where
the thermometer would run to 4<) degir'OS
below zero an<l these houses have for
years withstood tlie frost without lieaving

SWEET PEAS.

How would sweet peas do in a rose
house, planted iu a solid bed in a light,
sunny position? Blooms wanted from
November on. What are the best winter
blooming varieties in white, purple, light
and deep pink? S. K,

Sweet peas to bloom during the winter
shouM be sown not later than Septem-
ber; in fact, just as soon as well-ripened
seed can be procured. The soil should
be of rather a light, sandy nature, as
heavy, rich soil has a tendency to pro-
duce too much strong straw, which o^

course makes the buds lute in coming.
While these may be made to give fair
results in a rose temperature, I have
found a night temperature during the
jjcriod of growing of 54 degrees to be
more suitable.

Most of the growers who make sweet
peas a part of their crop have their fa-
vorite strains-, which they have found
from experience are best Kuit«'d to th^ii
soil and conditions and which they keep
improving from year to year by careful
fertilization and selection. Some of the
best forcing varieties will be fouwd in
the following list, but doubtless there are
many other suitable sorts to be found in
any seed catalogue: Extra Early Blanche
Ferry, pink and white; Emily Hender-
son, white; Blanche Burpee, pure white;
Captain of the Blues; Apple Blossom,
pink; Kathrine Tracy, bright pink, E.

CAHNATION NOTES.-EAST.

Fumigation.

The work of fumigation is no longer
the disagreeable job it was some years
ago, when the burning of damp tobacco
stems seemed the universal remedy for
green fly. At that time it was consid-
ered soon enough to smoke when the
pest had staked out and nearly proven
its claim, making the operation the more
tedious, since two or three successive
fumigations were necessary to accomplish
the desired result.

At present we have the leaf in several
degrees of fineness and under various
brands ; also numerous ' ' cides ' ' or
"teens," all products of tobacco, so-
called, though the latter I am inclined
to think come from other sources than
the fragrant weed. But no matter;
they all do the work, and effectually,
without harm to plant or flower, at a
great saving of time and labor.

Of course thoy must be properly han-
dled, which is a matter upon which I will
touch. There is no reason why fumi-
gation should not form a part of the
routine work, as well as attention to
boilers, though it need not be a daily
duty but, instead, a weekly one.

By following the plan of light appli-
cations at regular intervals you run no
risk of damage to stock; the insects
never obtain a foothold. Instead of
being a killing cure, fumigation becomes
a preventive and there is no waste of
material. Select a certain day of the
week and, barring high winds, religiously
persevere iu dealing out the allowance
of tobacco.

A still, stormy evening is an ideal
time, as then the fumes remain longer
in the house and settle more among the
plants. Urider no circumstances fumi-
gate when plants are in need of water.

It is best, when beginning the use of
any insecticide, to follow directions;
then if your judgment tells you the dose
is too strong, or not enough so, it can
be varied to suit the case. Usually the
quantity recommended is none too strong.

We have had excellent results with
the leaf in dry powdered form by shap-
ing into conical piles on tin pie plates,
dropping a little kerosene on the apex
and lighting. By the time the oil is
burned the tobacco has become suffi-
ciently ignited to slowly smoulder until
consumed. Be careful not to make the
piles low and squatty lest the center
burn out, leaving a ring of uneonsmned
powder.

The term leaf ss used above is to dis-
tinguish preparations thus made from
those in which stems are largely used.
The leaf being much higher in nicotine
than stems, the advantage in using the
former is plain. Geo. S. Osborn.

NECESSITY FOR THOROUGHNESS.

It is to be presumed that all carnation
supports are in place by now. If not,
lose no time in getting the supports in,
for you cannot get the straight stem,
tipped with a good bloom that will
look you in the face, without some kind
of a support to hold it upright during its
growth. It is to be supposed, also, that

every weed has been pulled out and the
benches made of an even surface.

As to dead leaves at the base of the
plant, I claim there should be none on
a plant now, if the plants were properly
cleaned up at the time of lifting from
the field. But if there should be some
dead foliage on the plants now, I do not
believe in trusting its removal to any
other than a very careful hand, as the
covering or skin of the stem is very easily
torn, thus making the plant much more
susceptible to stem-rot.

If the plants are in a good, healthy
condition and the white roots showing
near the surface, a little stimulant in
the form of a v^ry light mulch composed
of one-third or one-half well rotted cow
manue and one-half soil may be spread
over the surface to the depth of half an
inch. A light application of wood ashes
will help the stems but too strong a dose
will result in a great variation of color,
especially on Lawson and the red varie-
ties.

It goes without saying that we cannot
all ^row prize winning carnations, or
compete in the production of fine stock
with the large growers who make a
specialty of carnations, but a great many
of us can do better than we do, by keep-
ing everything in good order, both on the
benches and underneath them. I have
in mind a fair grower of mixed stock
whose houses I visited some days ago,
whose carnations were not yet supported,
and the surface of the soil was covered
by a green carpet composed of weeds,
grass and green scum. The owner said
he would soon get time to clean up ! And
yet he wonders why his stock does not
sell as readily as that of some of his
neighbors. Time was when "any old
thing" passed as a good carnation, but
that was many, many years ago, and
now only those who are willing to give
the necessary care and attention can
hope to be rewarded with a large crop of
fine blooms. Nor should he expect it
without, for then he would be getting
something for nothing and of course his
conscience would trouble him if that were
the case. Rag.

end of each bench. The first is six
inches above the soil, the second twelve
and the third eighteen or twenty, as the
growth of the variety makes desirable.
Similar supports are placed every ten feet
along the bench. On these supports and
between each row of plants, lengthwise
of the bench, No. 16 wire is stretched.
To' Keep -this from pulling down the light
supports and destroying the whole con-
trivance, the end supports are set a lit-
tle way from the end of the bench and
the wires drawn over them and down to
the end board, where they are fastened.
The lower support is placed about eigh-
teen inches from the end of the bench,
the second one about thirty inches and
the third about forty-two inches. Then
a similar row of supports is put on the
end of the bench to take care of the
three or four rows of plants there.
Across these wires lengthwise of the
bench, cross wires are placed as needed.

ENCHANTRESS SPORT.

Under separate cover I am sending two

This is another deeper pink En-
chantress. There are a number of these
sports, as well as several white ones.
The one in question is a pleasing shade
of rose pink, possibly a little lighter than
the one of B. Schroeter, of Detroit, of
which S. S. Skidelsky says he sold 4,000
at the Chicago flower show last week
and of which he expects to easily sell

by-laws were prepared for the action
of the society at the Boston meeting,
January 24 and 25, 1906.

Section 1. The president, or In his absence or
disability, the vice-president shall preside at all
meetings of the society. In the absence of both
president and vice-president, the secretary, treas-

shall open the meeting and at once elect a
president pro tem.

Section 2. The secretary shall keep a record
of the proceedings of the society and the board
of directors, and conduct the correspondence of
the society, and have charge of all books and
papers pertaining to the above duties. He shall

SOME DORNER SEEDLINGS.

What impressed me most during a re-
cent visit to Fred Dorner & Sons' estab-
lishment at Lafayette, liid., as they in-
variably impress every visitor, were his
seedlings, some in their first and others
in their second and third years. They
have whites of the "bread and butter"
type that would appeal to the small
grower, with whom quantity counts, and
whites that are fancies in the fullest
sense of the word, plus more shoots to
the plant than the average ' ' fancy ' ' can
claim. The same holds true as regards
scarlets, pinks and maroons.

Thus a red seedling. No. 102, is the
ideal in habit of growth, color and
profusion of bloom, though lacking some-
what in size as judged by the standard
of exhibition varieties. On the other
hand, No. 153, another scarlet, has the
size, vigor and color, but lacks in free-
dom as compared with No. 102. A com-
bination of the two will give him an-
other world-beater.

Apropos of maroons, I will mention
in passing, that Mr. Dorner is working
on a new strain of seedlings — distinct
from any known to the commercial flo-
rist. It is a coloi- between a scarlet and

NECESSITY FOR THOROUGHNESS.

It is to be jirevnined that all caiaialion
supports are in place liy now. if not,
lose no time in netting the supports in,
fnr you cannot get the sirtiight stem.
tip}ied with .a nnnd blomn th.at will
look you in ttm faii'. without sonu' kind
nf ;i su|iport tn linhl it Upright during its

nrnWth. It is tn be s|ippiisii|. ;ils,i. that

i'\ei\ weed has been jiiilled out and the
beii'hes made of an even surf;u-e.

As to dead leaves ;it the base of the
plant, I (daim there should be m)ne on
a jilaiit now, if the jdants were i)r()i>erly
cleaned uj) at the time (d" lifting Irom
tlie field. I'.ut if there slumld be some
dead foliage on the jdanis now, I do not
beliiwf in trusting its removal to any
other than a xcry careful htiiid, as the
coN'eriiig nr skin of the stem is very easily
torn, thus making the plant nmch more
susceptible to stem-rot.

If the plants are in a good, healthy
condition and the wliite roots showing
near the surface, a little stimuhmt in
the fniiii of a \ery light mulch eom[MPSud
of one third or one-half well rotted cow
inaiiiie and one h.alf soil may be spread
(i\i'i- the .sill t'aee to the depth of half an
iinli. A ligiit applicati(m of \vooil .ashes
^\ill help the stems but too strong a dose
will residt in a great \aiiation of cnlor.
especially on L;iwson and the red \aiie-
ties.

It goes withoul sayinu that we cannot
all grow prize winning i-ai nations, or
(Mimpeto in the iirndiiction id' line stock
with the large growers who make a
specialty f>t cat nations, but a ^reat m.any
of us can <lo better than wc do, by keep-
ing iwi.M'ything in good order, both on tlie
benches and, uiideiai(>;ith them. 1 h.ave
in mind a ftiir grower cd' nnxed stock
whose houses I \isited some dtiys ago.
whose carntit ions weie not yet sup|iorted,
and the surface of the soil was covered
by ;i gre(Mi ctirpet composed of Aveeds.
gi'ass ami green scuni. The owner said
he would soon get time to (dean up! .\iid
yet he wonders why his stock does not
sell as readily ;is that of S(nn(} ot' his
neighbors. Time 'was when ''any idd
thing"' |)assed as a good c.'irnation. but
that was m.any, many years ago. .and
no\v only those who are willing to ni\e
the iiecessar.v care and .attention ran
hope to be rewarded with a large crop of
line blooms. .\nr should he ex|ii'ct it

maroon, something of the Harry Fenn
shade, but decidedly distinct. It is Mr.
Dorncr's intention to bring out a carna-
tion of this particular color, one that will
likewise possess freedom, vigor and size
of bloom. There are several of this type
on the place that look promising, but
another season 's trial w ill be required to
choose the one worthy of an introduc-
tion. It is well known that Mr. Dorner
himself is the most exacting, as well as
the most uncompromising critic of his
own seedlings.

In White Perfection, Mr. Dorner seems
to liave made another advance iu the
line of his most successful work. As
seen on his place one could not possibly
wish to grow anything better. For free-

dom of bloom it surpasses Lady Bounti-
ful; for size it is ahead of any in its
class; on vigor of growth and general
behavior in the field and under glass
it scores well. The introducer of White
Cloud, The Belle and Lady Bountiful may
well be proud of his latest achievement.

A fact worthy of special mention is its
apparent freedom from disease. Not a
I)lant was lost this season, either in the
field or in the house since transplanting,

A word about Tippecanoe may not be
amiss here. Unlike Mrs. Bradt in its
I)almiest days, Tippecanoe has length of
stem and freedom of bloom.

Of the older varieties, Lady Bounti-
ful is still first among whites, The Belle
being a close second. Fiancee, notwith-

standing its vicissitudes, is redeeming its
prestige in a manner that bids fair to
win it a host of friends in the end. It
is a grand variety, whatever be its short-
comings. Eclipse will in all likelihood
be grown more exclusively next season.
It is Avell worthy of bench room.

Chrysanthemums are looking excep-
tionally fine and, what is equally encour-
aging, are in good demand at good
prices. A seedling of Yellow Eaton is
being grown to perfection. It is of
globular form, large, of fine habit and
with no center to mar it. Golden Eagle
(No. 11) is likewise in splendid condi-
tion. A white seedling of Jones is
decidedly a fine commercial variety.

THE BEST SORTS.

Please {^ive me the names of the best
chrysantlieniums for commercial pur-
poses, early, midaeasoii and late, in
three colors, white, pink and vollow\

E. W.

The varieties generally grown in this
vicinity are as follows:

Early: Montmort, Pacific and Mrs.
Coombes, for pink; Polly Kose and Alice
Byron, white; Merstham Yellow and
October Sunshine, yellow.

Midseason: W. Duckham and Leila
Filkins, pink; Halliday and Col. Ap-
pleton, yellow; Kobinson and Ivory,
■white .

Late: Maud Dean, Mrs. Ceo. Mile-
ham and W. S. Allen, pink; Yellow
Eaton and Yellow Chadwick, yellows;
Timothy Eaton, Chadwick and Merry
Christmas, white.

This selection is, as stated, what are
generally grown in this section; whether
they will do equally well with E. W. is
another story. I have avoided any men-
tion of new kinds in this list, but as a
matter of fact the ones that have
proven the best for me, from a financial
point of view, are new things, compara-
tively— Mrs. W. Duckham, Mrs. J. A.
Miller, Mrs. Geo. Beech, Mrs. Swinburne
and others. C. H. Totty.

fore more water was applied. Top and
side ventilation was given day and
night, weather conditions being favor-

SUCCESS WITH APPLETON.

A. N. Crouch, at Knoxville, Tenn., has
liad such fine Appleton chrysanthemums
this season that he has attracted more
than local attention. The stock was
grown by Henry L. Lauscher, who has
made rose growing a specialty and was
entirely new at chrysanthemums when
he took hold of this crop in Mr.
Crouch's establishment last spring. Mr.
Lauscher says that he planted his stock
June 20 in solid beds. A heavy loam
•was used, mixed with a moderate quan-
tity of cow manure. Throughout their
growing season they were kept liberally
supplied with water, but each week they
were permitted to dry out thoroughly be-

able throughout the season. No arti-
ficial heat was given, although several
frosts occurred, one morning the ther-
mometer registering 26 degrees. One
mulch was given, about August 20, since
which time two applications of liquid
manure have been made. The second
crown bud was taken on each plant be-
tween August 23 and 2a. Some of the
]»lants iu the center of the house ran
as high as seven feet and the stems
might have been stronger in proportion
lo the size of the flower, although they
were sulhciently strong to answer all
jiurposes. Very fine prices have been
realized and Appleton will be grown
largely next year.

Among other varieties, Willowbrook
Jid very well indeed, but Polly Kose
and Monrovia were not so good. Robin-
son does splendidly everywhere in this
section. When the flowers are fully de-
veloped they are sometimes ten inches
in diameter and no better white is
needed. Wm. Duckham was a very
profitable variety this season, but Mr.
Crouch grows A. J. Balfour largely and
thinks it the best of all the pinks. Mrs.
O. P. Bassett has given the highest sat-
isfaction. Timothy Eaton, Dr. Engue-
hard and Golden Wedding are very
I promising for a late November cut.

The growers in this section prefer
solid beds for almost all crops, the prin-
cipal exception being carnations. Eoses
grown in raised beds gave only mod-
erately satisfactory results, but since
put on solid beds have done very much
better. This is especially the case with
Beauties grown in a cool house, not
above 56 degrees at night.

The accompanying illustration shows
H. L. Lauscher and his wife in the house
of Appleton mums above referred to and
shows the growth the plants made.

EARLY MUMS IN ENGLAND.

ciety of England held a big exhibition

and 5. The principal class, so far

Chrysanthemum Dr. Enguehard, Two and Three to a Plant, Grown by H. S, Hopkins, Binghamton, N, Y.

as trade interest went, was for five
blooms of separate colors. In pink
varieties there was nothing equal to
Mrs. G. Milehani, which was very fine.
In yellows there was more variety.
Bessie Godfrey secured first prize and
Merstham Yellow second. Other good
yellows were Mrs. Greenfield, Soliel
d'Octobre, Mrs. IT. Emnierton, Duchess
of Sutherland and Mrs. A. E. Knight.
In the class for white, Miss Elsie
Fulton was the only variety shown by
the four exhibitors. Gustave Henry
■was well shown, the blooms being large
enough to satisfy any one.

A SUCCESSFUL CROP.

Harry S. Hopkins, Binghamton, N, Y.,
has had an exceptionally successful sea-
son with chrysanthemums. He lias
a good local demand but not many calls
for exhibition stock and he grows two
and three blooms to the plant. How well
Dr. Enguehard adapts itself to this
method of culture is shown by the ac-
companying illustration, which is from
a photograph of a bench of this variety
which Mr. Hopkins h^s just cut. All
of the plants carry at least two flowers
«ach and many of them three.

BEST YELLOW MUMS.

What good yellow chrysanthemum
can be grown in place of Appleton? I
have tried Appleton for three years and
cannot get a strong neck. I have tried
the different buds, also different meth-
ods of cultivation, but with no results.
I grow Halliday and Omega, but would
like to grow a good yellow to take the
place of Appleton. H. C. H.

I hardly know what to recommend to
grow in place of Appleton. This varie-
ty is so generally satisfactory that it
would seem hard to mention anything
that would bo likely to have a better
neck. Locality, of course, makes a dif-
ference, and a big one some times, in
the behavior of different varieties and
It might be well, perhaps, for H. C. H.

to see what his neighbors are having
good success with.

Some growers of my acquaintance
make out very well with Cheltoni fol-
lowing Halliday, but this variety needs
a longer season of growth than is usu-
ally given by the commercial grower,
and it does not have the incurving
shape, without which some growers seem
to think a variety is worthless commer-
cially. Mrs. W. Duckham has proved
itself a splendid keeper and good, kind,
satisfactory grower. Why not try that?
The season was a bad one for keeping
blooms on the plant, but this variety did
not lose a petal and some of the fioweira
exhibited for the Wells gold medal
last week in Philadelphia had, to my
certain knowledge, been cut for three
weeks.

Yellow Eaton with some growers
comes early enough to follow Halliday,
but in this section it is November 6,
about, before it is in good shape, and
if H. C. H. has a weak neck with Ap-
pleton, 1 fear he would with Eaton
aho. C. H. ToTTY,

WHAT IS JAPANESE?

In exhibiting in a chrysanthemum
show, will Duckham and Quo Vadis be
eligible in a class of six Japanese chrys-
anthemums? Please define a Japanese
chrysanthemum. Is there any difference
between a Japanese incurved and a Japa-
nese reflexed? Does not Japanese in-
clude both? A. A. S.

Answering A. A. S., I would say that
I hold he is justified in exhibiting a
variety like Duckham in a class calling-
for six Japanese so long as the schedule
calls for six Japanese and not six
Japanese reflexed. Duckham is a
Japanese incurved. The original appella-
tions used to be Japanese and Chinese,
or incurved, and the difference was quite
marked since one variety was purely re-
flexing and the other strictly incurving.
As time went on and the varieties be-
came mingled more every year, the

Japanese class resolved itself into two
types, the one showing the original type
of a rettexing petal only, and being
called the Japanese reflexed, and the
cither showing about half the flower in-
curving and the lower half of the flower
refiexing back to the stem, and being
called Japanese incurved. The true in-
curved is seldom seen now at exhibitions,
as it is too small to stand much chance
in a competition. Bonnaffon is one of
the best types of an incurved variety.

The types are getting merged now to
sucii an extent that u certain variety
often ffives a reflexed flower from a
crown Dud and an incurving flower from
a terminal, and an arbitrary ruling as to
what class sucli a variety would belong to
is hardly possible. 0. H. Totty.

NOVEMBBB 23, 1905.

luce growers. It attacks the plants, as a
rule, just when they reach the hearting
stage. Plants that have been perfectly
healthy up to that time are often so
severely attacked by it that in the course
of a few days they are so badly disfig-
ured that they are worth little or nothing
when exposed for sale. It is, to say the
least of it, a very discouraging state of
matters and my advice would be to har-
vest and sell the crop just as soon as
possible after the disease has made its
appearance, for as far as I know there
is no means of stopping the spread of
the disease, once it has got a start,
though keeping the atmosphere of the
house, and also the soil, as dry as pos-
sible will help to keep it in check.

Several theories have been advanced in
explanation of the cause of this disease.
Some claim that the cause is to be found
in the soil and recommend sterilizing.
Others claim that it can be kept in check
by the regulation of soil moisture, while
others believe that atmospheric condi-
tions have all to do with it. My opinion
is that a check to the growth of the
plant will cause the trouble, no matter
from what source arising.

Lettuce grown ^ndoors is grown un-
der artificial conditions and it is hard to
supply all the natural requirements of
the plant. While the plant is young and
vigorous the trouble never appears, but as
soon as it reaches the hearting stage, the
outside leaves have practically reached
the limit of their growth and the plant
begins to concentrate its strength in the
building up of a heart. This causes a
sort of reaction and natural c&eck, to
which any weakness of the plant natu-
ally accentuates. The secret of success
lies in having enough power behind your
plant to tide over this critical period.

I have observed that plants grown on
raised benches are much more susceptible
to attacks from this trouble than plants
grown in solid beds. The cause for this
undoubtedly lies in the fact that the
plants in solid beds are in a healthier
state because grown under less artificial
conditions. They have the natural mois-
ture of the soil and natural coolness;
hence the roots are sure to be in a more
active and healthy state than those of
plants grown on raised benches, where
the soil must inevitably be the same tem-
perature as the air of the house. ITie
benches, as a rule being right over the
pipes, the soil is apt to dry out in the
bottom of the bench even faster than it
does on the top. This necessitates the
too frequent application of water and
often leaves the soil on the surface over-
wet, while that on the bottom is mute
dry. Under such conditions, the roots of
the plants cannot be expected to be in a
perfectly healthy condition and the
plants are very apt to fall a victim to
disease as soon as the critical stage is
reached.

But don't run away with the idea that
growing in solid benches is a certain pre-
ventive. Here also they are liable to at-
tack if the plants are not in a perfectly
healthy condition, for, as I said before,
a check from any cause is sure to be a
fruitful source of trouble. The preven-
tion of this disease hinges on the whole
cultivation of the plant from start to
finish.

Softness of growth is sometimes put
forward as a source of trouble and no
doubt it sometimes is, and advice is
often given to avoid soft-growing varie-
ties, but where do you find a softer or
more tender variety than Grand Eapids,

David W. Fr aser.

a variety which ia practically immune
from this disease if given anything of a
fair show. This I lay to the fact that it
is not a heading variety. This I would
advise you to grow, if you can find a
market for it. I think it is the nicest
variety we have for forcing purposes,
and as a table article, I would prefer it
to any variety grown, but there is no
accounting for tastes and head lettuce
is the article most generally called for in
eastern markets; still though you have
to sell it for less money, if the head
varieties do not succeed with you, a half
loaf is better than no bread, and it is
better to grow something you are sure
of than depend on the uncertainty of
the other.

Something is evidently wrong with
your cultivation or the conditions under
which your plants are grown, and just
what it is I am not in a position to
state, unless I knew more about the con-
struction of your soil, situation and
adaptability of the house in which your
lettuce is grown, and the general treat-
ment your plants have received. This is
a trouble that cannot be treated like a
dose of greenfly, but, as I said before,
hinges on the whole life of vour plants.

Jacksonville, Fla. — Arthur E. Sin-
gleton, who was employed for several
years by George Just, has been continued
as manager of the establishment since
its recent purchase by C. D. Mills.

Pueblo, Colo. — We have had the cold-
est weather ever known for so early in
the season. Much of the eeler}', which is
grown here in large quantities, was badly
frozen before it was trenched. Cabbage
was a short crop and prices $20 per ton.
The crop is now mostly out of the grow-
ers' hands and selling at $1.25 to $1.50
per hundred pounds in small lots. J. J.
Thomas says that Grand Rapids lettuce
is the only sort which it pays to grow,
as there is no market for the heading
varieties. He grows lettuce, radishes and
parsley and closes up in the spring with
a crop of cucumbers. This year a few
egg plants are being tried.

DAVID W. PHASER.

Like so many of our best cultivators,
David W. Fraser, the new secretary of
the Chrysanthemum Society of America,
is a native of Scotland, born at Craigo,
Forfarshire, in 1866. As a lad he served
an apprenticeship at Usan house, near
Montrose, but he came to America when
only 20 years of age. His first position
was at Caaajoharie, N. Y., where he
worked in the gardens of Mrs. Smith for
five years. Then he spent two years at
the well-known E. D. Adams estate in
New Jersey, and then gained the very
valuable experience of three years under
William Falconer during the formative
period at Dosoris. Later he spent two
years at Ophir, the country home of
Whitelaw Reid, two years on the Have-
meyer estate at Mahwah, N. J., and then
removed to Pittsburg to take charge of
the H. C. Frick estate, where he has re-
' mained for eight years, during which
time the conservatories have become very
popular with the people of Pittsburg, be-
ing open to the public at certain seasons
each year and visited by thousands. The
chrysanthemum show by Mr. Fraser is an
annual event of more than local import-
ance. Mr. Fraser, while skilled in widely
varying branches of the gardeners' art, is
in no department more efficient than in
his treatment of the chrysanthemum.
Like all successful cultivators, he is most
painstaking and methodical in his work,
and this characteristic extends to all oth-
er affairs with which he is associated. He
will make the Chrysanthemum Society a
most capable secretary.

Enclosed is a two-dollar bill; please
send me two Reviews after this. — J. M.
Smiley, Aurora, 111.

Kewanee, III. — Hamilton & Plummer
advertised a special sale of chrysanthe-
mums, plants and gold fish, and as a
means of drawing a crowd they adver-
tised to give away by means of a draw-
ing a globe of fish and a plant to the
lucky ones of all visitors and a fine plant
to the lucky one among those making
purchases. The scheme was successful
beyond their anticipations.

OBITUARY.

Denys ZirngiebeL

Denys Zirngiebel, whose critical ill-
ness was referred to in the Eeview issue
of November 9, died at his home in
Needham, Mass., on November 16, aged
76 years, 9 months and 10 days. For
over half a century the deceased has
been closely associated with Boston hor-
ticulture and his removal is a distinct
loss to the members of his profession,
by all of whom he was ever held in the
highest esteem.

A native of Switzerland, he secured an
■excellent horticultural and botanical
training before coming to America some
fifty-seven years ago. His first position
was at New Orleans, on a plantation,
where he had only been located a short
time before being Called to the Harvard
Botanic Gardens in Cambridge. For
nearly fifteen years he had the manage-
ment of these gardens, under the well
known Prof. Asa Gray, and there he
largely added to his already wide knowl-
edge of plants.

In 1865 he bought land at his late
home in Needham and built greenhouses
in 1866. His present houses are the
third range erected since his residence
there. Mr. Zirngiebel was a pioneer in
the introduction of many florists' flow-
ers. His name is perhaps best known as
a raiser of prize pansies, in which he did
a great business and attained a national
reputation. In carnations, too, he led
the way by bringing over some of the
leading French perpetual blooming sorts
from which have emanated our present
magnificent types. To mention all the
flowers introduced or improved by Mr.
Zirngiebel would require much space.
Suffice it to say that up to the last he
Avas ever on the alert to get new things
and as keen an observer as in his younger
days.

For many years he had been a mem-
ber of the Massachusetts Horticultural
Society and was a frequent exhibitor at
its shows, securing many medals, cer-
tificates and premiums. He was a stall-
holder in the Park street flower market,
liis son who was associated with him in
business, being the salesman. Another
son is in the florists' business on his own
account nearby and his only daughter,
married, lived close to him. For a num-
ber of years he belonged to the S. A. F.
and when that society visited Boston in
1890 the deceased worked hard for a
successful convention.

Few men in America had a wider and
more intimate knowledge of plants,
whether viewed from a botanical or com-
mercial point of view, and it has fallen
to the lot of few to live more useful
lives. He has done much to advance
floriciiltural interests for which he will
loiiij be tenderly held in remembrance.

Fuiioral services at Needham on No-
vember 18 were very largely attended,
many of his confreres from the Park
?!tioet market and elsewhere being among
those to pay the last tribute of esteem.

W. N. Craig.

THANKSGIVING ADVERTISING.

John L. Parker is a florist and druggist
at Birmingham, Ala. He is a believer in
advertising and he applies the publicity
more or less to both ends of his business
fit the same time. "Purity at Parker's"
won't fit every business, but the rest
of the advertisement reproduced here-
with will be a help to any flower store.

Get up something along this line and
print it in your local paper, if you can
get it in a few days before Thanksgiv-
ing, and remember that Christmas is not
far away. A little good newspaper
advertising the first three weeks in De-
cember will bring in many people who

Denys Zirngiebel.

would not otherwise remember that cut
flowers and plants are among the most
acceptable of Christmas gifts.

NEW YORK.

The Market

The weather reminds one of a Cana-
dian Indian summer, just the weather
the florists will not stand for, because it
makes business just as mild as itself and

"Purity at Parker's."

DON'T forget the flowers
for the Thanksgiving
table, and the decorations
for dining room. Better
order from us NOW, and
you'll be sure to get them
on time.

Careful attention given to out-of-
town orders. Flowers packed by us
keep fresh and fra^ant.

continues the outdoor .street merchants
as a menacing factor for the legitimate
winter trade.

Violets seem to have reached their top
for the present at $1.25. Even the horse
show could not budge them, and that, too,
was for the specials. It was a disap-
pointment. Perhaps there will bo no ad-
vance above this before Christmas. It is
a fair price and if it can be maintained,

and raised on special occasions to $1.50,
no one will have cause for complaint.

Narcissi and sweet peas are here and
plenty of lilies of all kinds, including
valley. Cattleyas are advancing and
"cyps" are extra good. Carnations are
quite independent. Good novelties
touched $4 often, some even higher. All
grades are selling well and the general
quality was never better.

Eoses were last week too abundant for
satisfactory disposal. While the very
best are always sure of recognition at
good prices, many thousands have to go
at "buyers' option." Chrysanthemums
have passed their zenith and the rosarians
begin to rejoice at the retreat. Such a
mum year one does not remember, not so
much for prices as for quality and
novelty.

The Rosary.

I see the Detroit Free Press has been
using some "hot air" in behalf of one
of the citizens of "the beautiful city."
But none of us believe Phil Breitmeyer
ever said the saucy things attributed to
him. His trip here was not a "disap-
pointment," and he did get some "new
ideas" about store decoration which Be-
troit will soon see in execution. He was
particularly impressed by the Rosary,
the wonderful beauty and unique concep-
tion here achieved in white birch bark
never having been equaled in this country.
It is a triumph of Mr. Troy's artistic
genius. Florists visiting New York may
well give a day to observation of this
and other great studies in decorative art
as illustrated by a score of the finest flo-
rists' stores in the world. The wonder is
any florist anywhere fails to make this
the great distinctive feature of his busi-
ness. An attractive store, with some
original ideas, will do more to build up
business than all other methods put to-
gether.

The Eosary carries out its scheme of
rustic beauty to the minutest detail. The
office, the ceiling, the ice-box, the chairs,
the legs of the tables, the palm vases, the
entire front, all are in birch bark and
built to last a score of years. The vases
for cut flowers are of solid silver. Here,
as in front of many other stores, a grand
assortment of evergreens in tubs is seen,
adding to the charming rustic effect and
opening the blase eyes of even the New
Yonkers, to whom the beautiful in every-
thing is summed up as a daily feast for
the eyes and who will not * * sit up and
take notice" unless something away out
of the ordinary appears.

Various Notes.

C. H. Grant has done himself credit
in the opening of the Abraham & Straus
large retail floral department. His many
years of experience with the best retail
stores of New York gives him ability to
steer the ship into paying waters. In
his palm department, among other fea-
tures, is a contract for 1,000 Scottii ferns
in 6-inch and 7-inch pots, an indication
of the enterprise of the big house that
secured his services.

At the auction last week, one of the
most interested of the old-time buyers
was the venerable James Mallon, of
Brooklyn, stocking up for the winter
decorations. Property of the firm held
for half a century, where the original
store stands, has advanced rapidly in
value. The branch on Fulton street,
where the sons preside, has been very
greatly improved this year and business
' there is uniformly good.

David W. Fraser.

a variety which is practically immune
from this ilisease if given anything of a
fair show. This i lay to the fact that it
is not a heading variety. This I would
advise you to grow, if ytui can find .-i
market for it. 1 think it is the nicest
variety wc have for forcing pmiioses.
and as a table article. I would jneter it
to anv variety grown, but there is no
ficcouiiting for tastes and head lettuce
is the article most generally called for in
eastern markets; still tliouLih you have
to sell it for less money, if the head
varieties do not succei'd with you. a halt
loaf is V)etter than no bread, and it is
better to grow sometiiing you are sure
of than depend on the uncertainty of
the otlicr.

Somethiug is evidently wrong with
vour cultivation or the conditions umier
which your plants are grown, and just
what it is 1 am not in a positi(ui to
state, unless I knew nioie abinit the con-
struction of your soil, situation and
.■idaptabilitv of the house in which your
lettuce is tzrowii. :,nd the ecueral treat-

a trouble that cannot be treated like a

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

November 23, 1905.

VICTORY

The best scarlet carnation — requires only ordinary culture

One of tlic old landmarks on Cortlandt
street seems to be in the line of ti;e
march of progress and nuist come doAvn.
Just where the firm of J. M. Thorburn Sc
Co. will locate is yet undecided.

Alfred U. Van Praag, late secretary
and treasurer of the Fleischman FlorrJ
Co. and for eight years past, opens on
November 2S at 1207 Broadway, near
Twenty-ninth street, a florists' shop of
his own, right in the best part of "the
great Avhite way, ' ' as they call it.

fnteresling changes in helpers have
been made lately in some of the big re-
tail stores and many of the familiar
faces of last year have changed their
outlook. But still the openings for floral
artists are many and a really fine artificer
need not more than make good his claim
to ability to be assured a prompt engage-
ment and at a salary, too, that makes
acceptable even the interminable hours of
a successful retail business in New York.

W. II. Donohoe had a fine dinner dec-
oration at the New Haven Club last Sun-
day and gave it his personal attention.
An abundance of wild smilax and 2,00U
Liberty roses were used.

New Ha\en won its big football match
last Saturday, but was mucli more shy
on violets than expected. Even the horse
show failed to exert its usual influence.

LeMoult, of the Bowery, had a finger
in the British pie last week on the ship
that took "his majesty" up the Hudson.
Most of the " bon tons" felt the effect
of his presence in the dinner decoration
orders.

Prospect park, Brooklyn, had its best
mum show last week and the Brooklyn
papers boomed it in illustration and gen-
erous notices. Some forty new varieties
were on exhibition, and the attendance
was enormous.

Thanksgiving would hardly be itself
without holly nowadays. All the supply
men will have it in good quantity and
say that quality is excellent this year;
$6 a case seems to be the prevailing price.

It is wonderful how popular retinospora
window and step decorations are becom-
ing in New York. Hotels and halls, too,
are elaborately ' * summerized ' ' with bay
trees and box and evergreens until we be-
gin to look quite tropical, considering the
depressing severity of our damp winter
climate.

John Scott, of Flatbush, was fortunate
enough last Thursday to save a little fel-
low's life, a grandson of Mr. Kepner, one
of the old-time florists of Rutland road.
A heavy truck Avas within six inches of
crushing out the little fellow's life when
Mr. Scott succeeded in stopping the
horses.

Bowling;.

New York seems to have lost all ambi-
tion as to a boAvlirg club this winter, but
it may be a case of the "sleeping lion"
and soon we hope to hear him roar.
Meantime the members of last year's al-
most champion aggregation have scat-

tered into other city clubs and are mak-
ing excellent records. Theo. Lang has
been averaging over 200 all the season
and last week had a score of ^68 to his
credit.

But you never hear of reliable old Flat-
bush hauling down the flag. Every Thurs-
day there's a quorum there and sport de-
void of inharmony and welcome that
warms the cockles of the heart. Last
week the scores below were made and
Thanksgiving night the annual struggle
for the twenty-pound turkey will take
place. Perhaps a vegetarian will win it.
The scores are:

week*s issue, that for November 30,

FLORISTS' PUBLISHING CO.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

It would require a stretch of the imagi-
nation to call the market strong the past
week, but at the same time a very large
volume of business has been done. Bright
skies and moderate temperature have re-
sulted in a pronounced increase in suj)-
plies and, in spite of the best of quality
throughout the list, prices have weak-
ened because of the abundance of almost
everything. Even white carnations, which
money would not buy two weeks ago, have
been more than the trade would consume
at the prices wholesalers are willing to
consider. Tuesday was exceptionally
weak.

Tlii? general report among growers is
that Beauties are coming into full crop
and tliat supplies will be very large for

Thanksgiving. Quality leaves nothing
to be desired. Brides, Bridesmaids,
( hatenay and other roses are showing
fine color and excellent substance because
of favorable weather conditions. The
best stock is still selling at satisfactory
figures but the lower grades have suf-
fered in the last few days. The call
for Thanksgiving promises to be excep-
tionally heavy because of the high prices
at which carnations are quoted, but Kich-
mond and Liberty will be first in demand.
Both are abundant and very fine in
quality. Carnation cuts show a consid-
erable increase this week and there is
enough of every color to supply the de-
mand, with prices weakened. It looks as
if the Thanksgiving supply would be
greater than was at first estimated.
Chrysanthemums have eased off in values.
Eeeeipts are large and naturally the
growers are holding back more or less
for Thanksgiving. Violets have been
scarce, doubtless because of a brisk New
York market. Harrisii and callas are
also hard to find. There is plenty of val-
ley. Green goods are moving satisfac-
torily.

Hunt's New Rose.

C. ]\1. Dickinson returned Saturday
from Minneapolis, where he closed a deal
with John Monson, of the Minneapolis
Floral Co., for the dissemination of the
new pink rose, Miss Kate Moulton. Mr.
Dickinson is very enthusiastic on the
rose after seeing it at home, examining
its record and talking with the local
florists who have handled it. Holm &
Olson told him that when they had the
Moulton rose in stock they had no sale
for Maid. The originator's records show
that last season he cut forty-seven
blooms to the plant and made an average
of better than 4^/^ cents on them. Mr.
Dickirson states that they will be able
to supply 150,000 plants for delivery be-
fore April 1, 1906.

•T. H. Holden, the well known former
retailer, is now in charge of Hunt's de-
partment for the manufacture of the
curled crepe paper Christmas bell, which
is making such a hit.

Various Notes.

P. J. Foley was taken sick the day af-
ter the Florists/ Club's banquet and oa
November 16 si^ffered a surgical opera-
tion at St. Andrew 's hospital. He is
progressing nicely and will be out in a
week or so.

In the flower show report, C. Frauen-
felder should have been credited with
first prize on the basket of Liberty roses,,
instead of C. A. Samuelson.

L. Coatsworth spent flower show Aveek
in Canada shooting ducks and on his way
home lost his baggage, including gun and
game, but recovered all but the latter a
day or two ago.

Leonard Kill, wlio attended tlie Kan-
sas (;ity ?how with Mrs. Kill, spent Sat-
urday and Sunday at Seneca, Kan.,
where the latter has relatives, and re-
turned home .\.'onday. Peter Reinberg
also came back Monday for the council
meeting. He had been at Marion, U',,
and greatly increased the mortality
among quail.

Fleischman had one of tlie largest or-
ders of the season for the decoration at
the semi-centennial of Mandel Bros, this
week. Kennicott Bros. Co. supplied
moi-t of the stock used. E. E. Pieser
states that the order delivered Sunday in-
cluded .*?,000 Bonnafl'on chrysanthenuuns
and those who visited the store will
agree with him that it was a fine, even
lot. ilr. Pieser says that they also de-
livered to Fleischman 1,000 strings of
asparagus for use in this decoration.

X. J, "Wietor says he believes that the
outcome of the Beauty contest at Kan-
sas City has done his firm more good
than it would have obtained from any
place on tlie premium list. Word has
gone out that a mistake was committed
in scattering the Beauty exhibits so that
the judges could not see them side by
side.

A. L. Randall Co. has announced that
January 1 it will enter the supply busi-
ness. This has been one of :\rr. Ran-
dall's pet projects for a long time. Tiiey

get orders for it from far distant jioints.
Several retailers used it in tlieir decora-

ceptacle and under artificial liglit it
shows up to best advantage, and tlic
local call is increasing rapidly.

The A. Dietsch Co. say that this has
not only been their best season but that,
while they are still delivering material
for this year's houses, they have already
booked a number of orders for next
year. As a rule the larger tlie order
the earlier the material is wanted.

The south park commissioners have an-
nounced that because of tlie very great

The trade feels an interest in tlie un-

Chicago Show Notes.

How could it liave been otiierwise tiian
a success — the date was November ' ' 7
(•(uiie 11. "

One of the pleasures of the exhibition
was to see Edgar Sanders there. He said
he had never seen a flower show to com-
pare with this one. Mr, Sanders looks
very well, indeed, but is not strong.

The attendance increased .steadily all
Ihe week. The weather following the
')|iening day was ]deasaiit and the way
ilie crowds poured in was a pleasure to
I'veryone concerned. A Chicago show
never had better press work ami to the
I ews[(apers a large jiiirt of the sncess is
due.

The Chicago ("ity Railway should be
good for a very fine silver cup for next
year's show at the Coliseum.

It was greatly regretted that E. C. Hill
was not able to be present. That enthusi-
astic showman would have been delighted.

Admitting children at 10 cents on Sat-
urday morning brought out ',VM> kids.
One lad showed up at 7 :lii) and waited

The Coliseum is an ideal ])lace for a

The Market

We are now getting a somewhat im-
proved market, consequent on the near
approach of Thanksgiving. While prices
are not materially changed, flowers are
moving rather better. Chrysanthemums
are soiling a little better. A continued
scarcity of whites is noticeable. There
is H good field for the introduction of
one or more serviceable commercial sorts
of this color. In spite of all the new
intrcductions, year after year Ivory is
still the most grown as a white, Bonnaf-
fon as a yellow, Balfour for a pink and
Shrimpton for a crimson, A few nice
Jeanne Nonin are seen. This promises
to be a good late white. Some very nice
Jerome Jones, white and yellow, and
Maud Dean are also seen. Prices vary
from $6 to $12 per 100, a few large
bloon's going higher.

Roses have been the tougliest proposi-
tion to dispose of lately, l^irge numbers
of small Brides and Maids have gone as
low as 50 cents per hundred. None of
tlie sizes have sold readily, unless we
except such sorts as Wellesley, Killarney
and Liberty. Carnations have held their
heads up very well. Whites have been
rather in ovcrsupply, but colored sorts
have sold well. Violets have been in big
demand and rather under supply. Valley
remains about the same. Some Paper
Whites and Eoman hyacinths are coming
in, going at 35 cents per bunch of a
dozen. We think the glut season is now
practically over and higher prices will
be made from now onwards.

Horticultural Society.

At tlie annual meeting of the Hor-
ticultural Society on November 18, the
sum of $6,700 for prizes for 1906 was

appropriated. The officers elected were
as follows: President, A. F. Estabrookj
vice-president, Walter Hunnewell; treas-
urer, O. E. Richardson; secretary, W.
P. Rich; delegate to state board of
agriculture, W. H. .Spooner; trustees,
for three years, Oakes Ames, C. F. Cur-
tis, W. H. Elliott, A. H. Fewkes;
trustee for two years, John Lawrence;
nominating committee for 1906, James
H. Bowditch, T. D. Hatfield, Robert
Cameron, C. W. Parker, W. H. Spooner.

A children's garden conference will
be held at Horticultural hall on Decem-
ber 2, at which there will be very in-
teresting exercises, including addresses
by a number of prominent supporters of
this class of work. The annual ex-
hibition of children's herbariums will be
held on December 1 and 2.

Among the new classes to be intro-
duced at the November show of 1906
will be one for dinner table decora-
tions. The first prize will be $75 and a
silver gilt medal; second, $50 and a
silver medal; third, $35 and a bronze
medal. Society ladies will officiate as
judges.

The schedule for 1907 will bo issued
very shortly and will contain many
sweeping changes. ^lany new features
will be introduced, many small classes
struck out and much larger prizes offered
for collections and groups than hereto-
fore. Issuing a schedule two years ahead
will allow would-be exhibitors to make
proper preparations.

The net profits from the late chrysan-
thenlum show are about the same as in
1904, when the C. S. A. met here.

Gardeners* and Florists* Club.

The club meeting on November 21 was
again a rousing one, there being over
] 00 in attendance and much enthusiasm
shown. The lecture by Prof. B. M. Wat-

son on ' * Botany for Young Gardeners, ' '
was deeply interesting. A good discus-
sion followed and the lecturer was ten-
dered a unanimous vote of thanks. The
annual election of officers resulted in the
selection of the old board, these having
been recommended by the nominating
committee: President, James Wheeler;
vice-president, Thos. Westwood; treas-
urer, Edward Hatch; secretary, W. N.
Craig; directors, Messrs. Patten, Fisher,
Lumsden and Anderson.

Samples of the new club buttons were
on exhibition, a sprig of mountain
laurel in the center, with the club name
in a circle around it, making a very pret-
ty design. The president announced that
in future all applications for member-
ship would be referred to the executive
committee before being acted upon, also
that at the meeting on December 19,
members were requested to bring ladies,
an interesting program being in prepara-
tion for the same. As usual, a good num-
ber of new members were elected.

It was voted to donate special prizes
of $25 each to the rose and carnation
societies for the coming conventions.

Refreshments and music were again a
feature and some interesting exhibits
graced the tables, but of these and
other matters we must defer reference
to our next issue.

Various Notes.

Considerable changes are taking place
at the Park street flower market. The
regular market teams will be discon-
tinued until further notice. On and af-
ter December 1 there will be a discount
allowance of ten per cent on all goods
consigned to the corporation. The sale
of florists' supplies will be discontinued.
The genial manager, John Walsh, will
sever his connection with the market on
December 1. Mr. Walsh has meditated
this step for a considerable time, owing

to an attack of rheumatism. His place
will be diflScult to fill, for his long serv-
ice with the market has given him knowl-

A change in managers has also taken
place at the Music Hall market. James
Rough now finds that his services are
needed all the time at his Huntington

is taken by James F. Knight, of Dor-
chester, who is a good practical florist

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market

Austin, Tex. — Carnival week saw a
very successful chrysanthemum show for
Faith- Home and a floral parade for au-
tomobiles and other vehicles.

The situation has slightly improved,
chrysanthemums being less plentiful. The
market is not quite so badly overloaded.
The supply of nearly all flowers is, how-
ever, a little ahead of the demand, with
prices steady, except on violets. Violets
seem scarce. Frequently there are not
enough to fill the orders, especially of
the high grades. The differences in
grades in this flower are very marked,
the fancy stock bringing top prices far
more readily than ordinary stock brings
the lowest figure on the price list. The
novelties in the market this week are the
white lipped cypripedium, Leeanum, pink
and white sweet peas at S. S. Pennock's
and a scarlet seedling carnation which
W. & Harry F. Evans are sending the
Leo Niessen Co. In chrysanthemums,
there is a pink Chadwick sent this week
by E. A. Stroud to S. S. Pennock. Amer-
ican Beauties are more plentiful, of fine
quality and averaging a little lower in
price. Tea roses are improving. Valley
is very fine, the fancy grade being more
plentiful. The Flower Market is offer-
ing daisies in quantity. These flowers,
as well as bouvardia and mignonette, are
coming into greater prominence daily.

The Park Show.

The interest manifested by the public
in the chrysanthemum show at Horticul-
tural hall in Fairmount park is really
wonderful. The attendance on each Sun-
day during November has been so large
that it was necessary to station a dozen
or more guards throughout the hall in
order to keep the crowds moving. The

east room is the center of attraction.
Here the palms are arranged in the mid-
dle, while at each end are great banks
of chrysanthemums in pots, showing a
wealth of color most dazzling to the eye.
Whether this be artistic or not, it is cer-
tainly inost effective, and as an educa-
tional feature its value cannot be over-
.estimated. The cactus room is also beau-
tifully decorated with the queen of
autumn, while a smaller number pots of
the same flower are scattered through the
temperate house. It was impossible to
make any notes of the varieties, but the
stock was well grown.

Chestnut Hill.

The chrysanthemum exhibition of the
Chestnut Hill Horticultural Society was
held in Jocelyn hall November 14 and 15.
The hall was completely filled with a very
choice display of plants and flowers, the
queen of autumn and foliage plants pre-
dominating. The show was almost en-
tirely formed of the exhibits from the
large private places at the Hill. The
quality proved beyond question that the
standard among these gardeners is being
raised to a high level. I noticed in a
stroll around the room a few outside
exhibitors. Dreer and Michell were
there, the one with a display of choice
foliage plants, the other with effectively
arranged hardy chrysanthemums, also
bulbs. The mighty Kleinheinz was there
with some wonderful mums, his cut
blooms of W. R. Church being very hand-
some. Of the many local exhibitors, John
Little was most prominent, his exhibits
being good and varied, roses, chrysan-
themums and vegetables" all coming in for
a share of his attention. His mush-
rooms were enormous. I cannot go

through a list of the other exhibitors
and their exliibits. I can say they were
all there. Cliestnut Hill should be proud
of them. There was music, a good at-
tendance and many congratulations for
President Morris, Secretary Day and
Manager Knapp.

The Germantown Show.

Not a great big affair but none the
less enjoyable and inspirative to a large
audience that completely filled the lec-
ture room of the Y. M. C. A. building.
George Eedles gave one of his able talks,
which was followed with close attention.
The exhibits were effectively arranged
and a most creditable showing.

John F, Sibson, Fernhill, was the suc-
cessful exhibitor in the cut flower classes
of chrysanthemums. His blue ribbon
winners were Dr. Enguehard, his best pink
very fine; Indiana, a superb flower with
rather long neck; Col. Appleton, Garden
Queen, Chadwick, Bentley, Eaton, Rus-
tique and Pembroke. Albert Woltemate
won the red ribbon in the same classes
with some nice flowers. Thomas Meehan
& Sons showed some good vases of hardy
pompons.

John S. Hay brought an exhibit from
Henry A. Dreer, of ornamental foliage
plants that was much admired. It in-
cluded Adiantum Childsii, Nephrolepis
Barrowsii, Ficus pandurata, Maranta
Sanderiana, Dracaena goldeana, Kentia
Belmoreana, auriculas, etc.

All this year's officers were re-nomi-
nated.

Price of ScottiL

Last w'inter the Scott firm sold at $15
a hundred, $125 a thousand, in 2i4-inch
pots. This price was steadily maintained
until late in the spring, when it gradu-
ally fell until in midsummer it reached
$6 a hundred. The why and wherefore
is rather interesting. One of our grow-
ers noticed an advertisement in the Re-
view offering rooted runners at $4 per
hundred. He only allowed this to appear
once, procuring the grower's entire out-
put from February until August, thus
strengthening the market. The same
grower, however, found he had most too
many this fall, and the price of 6-inch
pot plants, which started at $1 each, has
fallen to 50 cents, which is virtually the
price of the old Boston. There are, how-
ever, indications of an advance for the
best stock. It is probable that all good
plants will bring 75 cents at Christmas.

Various Notes.

H. Bayersflorfer & Co. have received
some very largo consignments of the new
heads for sowing with grass seed. As
stated in the Review, these heads are
making quite a hit here. This firm is
also receiving new styles of Pompeian
ware. The smaller vases suitable for
cyps, violets and orchids are very pretty
for table decoration,

C, Eisele has just completed moving
his stock from his old greenhouses at
Eleventh and Jefferson streets to Elev-
enth and Roy streets, where he will carry
on a wholesale business exclusively, Mr.
Eisele has a number of interesting plants
not often seen on commercial places,
among them Asparagus duplexus, and
scandens, a very graceful plant.

A local daily in reporting the Ger-
mantown show states that "Albert Wol-
temate won first prize for raising twelve
chrysanthemums of not less than six va-
rieties in a pot six inches in diameter,"
He certainly deserved it.

choice stock has been leaving this city

CLEVELAND.

The Market.

Prices remain about as quoted last
week, with an increased cut in all lines,
violets being the exception, with good
demand at stiff prices. Mums and car-
nations are the leaders and roses take a
back seat, where they undoubtedly will
stay until after Thanksgiving. The re-
tail stores all report good, steady busi-
ness, and the Cleveland Cut Flower Co.
is disposing of large quantities of stock
every day; it makes a person wonder
where the great quantity all goes to.

Various Notes.

James Eadie had a fine display window
of mums the past week.

C. M. Wagner was very busy the past
week. He, too, was showing some very
fine mums in his window.

Thomas. Kirchner, of Quincy and Ba-
den streets, was quite busy with funeral
"Work. His place looks fine, and he now
has the capacity for filling unlimited
orders at a moment's notice.

F. "W. Ziechmann's place, corner of
Quincy and Cemetery streets, is in the
usual good condition, and Mr. Ziechmann
was hustling to keep up with his work.

Gordon Gray, on the opposite side of
the street, has some very good mums, of
which lie makes a specialty, having the
best of success every season.

Bate Bros., of East Cleveland, are cut-
ting some very good mums and carna-
tions.

A great many flowers were used at the
Stoffts funeral, and the orders seemed
to be divided among a great many
florists.

F. L. Evans, secretary of the Cleve-
land Cut Flower Co., was operated on
for appendicitis November 15, and is do-
ing as nicely as can be expected under the
circumstances.

LOUISVILLE. KY.

In a visit to the establishment of John
Bohrman. on Von Borries avenue, the
writer met the proprietor at home and
received the glad hand. John Bohrman
started as an apprentice at the age of
sixteen years, in the employ of Joseph
Coenen, and through hard work has risen
to be a successful florist. In 1890 he
was admitted as a partner, the name of
the firm being Coenen & Bohrman for
several years, and they did lots of cem-
etery work. In July, 1905, John Bohr-
man bought out Jos. Coenen 's interest,
as the latter intended to locate in Cali-
fornia. Air. Bohrman 's establishment
consists of fourteen large, up-to-date
greenhouses. One house is devoted to
palms and ficus, one house to asparagus,
one to Boston ferns, including some of
the finest plants, some in 18-inch pots,
some in 12-inch, and so on. There are
two houses in roses, Ivory, Kaiserin and
Golden Gate; three houses in carnations.
The varieties growing here are chiefly

Enchantress, Moonlight, Joost and Pros-
I>erity, all in fine condition. The other
six houses are used for bedding plants,
such as are required for cemetery work.
At the front of the establishment is a
handsome office, where funeral work is
jnit up at short notice. ]\Ir. Bohrman is
an active member of the Kentucky So-
ciety of Florists and alwaj's willing to do
his share when called upon. He was
born in Louisville, in 1867, tluis being at
the age of 38 years. He is respected
and always has a good Avord for every-
body.

Charles Reimers lias some of the finest
poinsettias that wore ever seen here. He
can cut some with stems six to seven
feet long. Mr. Ingram is the foreman
and his place is in fine shape for the
Christmas trade.

['"rank Lichtefeld, father of Henry
Lii'htefcld, is in very poor liealth.

Current Comment.

Tlio month of Novom])er lias been a
time of good business and a great
improvement over the beautiful October.
Chrysantheminns have not had it all
their own way, although they have sold
very well, and those who have a nice lot
for Thanksgiving will reap a harvest.
It has been domonstrated more than
ever this year that buyers of mums over
$.'} a dozen are scarce. If people with
fat pocketbooks are plentiful, then they
do not care for the big fellows. From $2
to .$3 is the price and quality •wanted.

Roses are greatly improved in qual-
ity and the demand is good. Carnations

VICTORY

The best scarlet carnation— being remarkably prolific

are always wanted. Enchantress seems
to have been most plentiful this fall and
of splendid quality. Deeper colors are
scarce. I notice Flamingo is much
earlier than last year.

On a recent visit to Neighbor
Christenson, a few days ago, I was much
impressed with a small bench of Car-
nation The Queen. For quantity of
flowers and buds it carried me back to
the old days of President Degraw. ' * My
dear boy, there is only one house and
one bench on this place that will grow
that fine carnation, and that is on this
spot, where I can get abundance of ven-
tilation and 42 degrees at night." It
certainly looked at home.

Mr. Christenson 's place looked well.
A fine lot of Bermudas will be in plenty
of time for the holidays; several fine
tables of mignonette and the carnations
are in excellent order. He goes light on
mums, only growing a few to give him
room when cut for spreading his pot
stuff. He had but three varieties (sensi-
ble man) Halliday for an early vari-
ety, Maud Dean and a fine white
which he calls Mrs. Weeks. I think
there is a slight confusion of names
here, for it looked identical with the
variety Adelia. It is a grand commer-
cial white. Mr. Christenson 's place is
always a pleasure to visit, not only to
see good culture, but to realize the
beauty and comfort of perfect order and
cleanliness. Oh, what a multitude of
sins these virtues do coverl "Come, my
boy; let's go to the shed and have an-
other snoozer."

Some of our young blood has been
traveling of late. President-elect Kast-
ing is a very young man, but a much

traveled one. He has been visiting the
big cities of the west, much as he
needed the rest, for the week previous to
his departure he and his good wife
passed through a most strenuous time.
Mrs. Kasting had charge of the flower
booth at the German Hospital bazaar
and Billy was chairman of the commit-
tee on ways and means.

The other traveler was David, of
Corfu. How delighted we are to see
the boys travel and see what older heads
and longer experience are doing, but if
you have the faculty of observation and
tact to listen and converse with your
brother florists, your time and money in
travel will be well spent. Never in the
history of this great country, or of hor-
ticulture, has there been a brighter
future than there is today, and young
men should realize and rejoice in the
fact. The measure of your success will
be in exact proportion to your applica-
tion and ability for business. We almost
all of us reap what we sow. I feel our
profession is only in its infancy and a
great future is before the rising genera-
tion.

We recently had a call from Mr. Gil-
rtian, a violet specialist of Ehinebeck,
the locality that produces those sweet
little flowers for New York and sev-
eral other states. Mr. Oilman's violets
are superb and all come to Buffalo and
are handled by Mr. Kasting. I think it
was the product of Mr. Gilman that
captured first prize at Chicago's great
show.

I am sorry to announce that Charles
Foss, proprietor of the Central Park
Greenhouses, has recently made an as-
signment. The published statement of

his affairs gave his liabilities at $8,000
and his assets at $800.

It is seldom we have any news of the
florists' national game of bowling, but
I want to tell you that we have a full-
fledged florists' bowling team and they
bowl weekly and stand third in a
tournament of eight teams. The team
consists of George Kathron, Sam Wal-
lace, Wm. Weber, Carl Beish, Charles
Sandiford and "Old Hoss" George Mc-
Clure. They are all bowling strong ex-
cept McClure. He falls down below 150
occasionally. He suffers slightly with
stage fright and admits that he cannot
shake off the feeling that John Westcott
is watching him. Several of the old and
young boys go down to root for them,
and if they practice until spring they
will be a dangerous quintet in the town
of the cash register, Altickville.

W. S.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

Although there was a little improve-
ment in the cut flower trade the past
week, the retail business is not what it
should be at this time of the year.
Funeral orders and weddings have mon-
opolized the time for the past two weeks.
Cut stock of all kinds is piled high in
the wholesale houses, with very little
demand except at cheap prices. The
wholesalers claim that prices and demand
are far behind the average for the season
but Thanksgiving day is only a week
away, when prices are bound to go up,
regardless of the glut that is on at this
writing.

Chrysanthemums are still holding the
fort and they are really the cause for the
big glut in roses and carnations. Some
extra fine stock is seen but the top price
this week seems to be $2 per dozen.

Roses are in full supply in all varie-
ties. While a few choice lots brought $5
per hundred it is nothing unusual to see
lots of 1,000 sold at $10, short Beauties
included.

The market is well supplied with fine
Enchantress, Lawson, Mrs. Patten, Cardi-
nal, Lady Bountiful and Boston Market.
Some poor stock has gone to waste.
Valley and Paper Whites sell fairly well.
Violets, too, are cleaning up satisfac-
torily.

Plenty of good smilax is to be had,
also adiantum, asparagus, galax leaves
and common ferns.

Reports from the west end florists,
who handle a great many plants, are
that trade with them is good.

Various Notes.

The chrysanthemum show given by the
Missouri Botanic Garden was a great suc-
cess and the crowds were estimated at
1,500 per day. The show was held in
a large tent, the entrance being through
one of the show houses. The sight was
a beautiful one and the directors were
complimented on all sides. George Mc-
Clure also came in for a great deal of
praise. A great many varieties were
shown and the quality of the stock left
iittle to be desired. Paul Roper and a
number of students were in attendance

to answer questions. The exhibition was
free to the public.

While in the neighborhood I paid a
visit to my friends at Tower Grove park,
where I found James Gurney, young Mr.
Gurney and Mr. Bazil, of Bellefontaine
cemetery, looking through the big houses,
where we saw crotons and pandanuses,
which are a great credit to Hugo Schaff
and Phil Gieble, the gardeners of the
park, by whom we were shown through.

Treasurer Weber, of the flower show
committee, has been busy making out
checks to the prize winners and all have
been paid in full. The show was not a
success financially, but as the guarantee
fund was quite large, the guarantors
will probably receive in return about
one-third of their subscriptions.

Fred C. Weber and John Steidle were
at Kansas City last week. Fred Mein-
hardt and O. G. Koenig went up Wednes-
day night. Theo. Miller and Fred Weber,
Jr., left Thursday night for the same
place. Most of them are back and report
a great show, with a big attendance.

W, E. Burrows and W. J. Pilcher, who
left Thursday night for Indianapolis,
to attend the show at that place, have re-
turned and report that Indianapolis, too,
had a big show and a fine exhibition.

Henry Ostertag, who has been sick
for some time, is out and around again.
It is reported that he will open a big
store down town, near Broadway and
Olive streets.

The Ellison Floral Co. has been very
busy the last week, with receptions, hav-
ing no less than five.

Theo. Miller is making a fine display
of plants and cut blooms of chrysanthe-
mums in his show house at Delmar and
Euclid avenues.

Rudolph Windt, the club's official
photographer, obtained some extra fine
views of the late show, especially the
prize winners.

Henry Baer, of Peoria, is shipping an
extra fine lot of carnations to C. A.
Kuehn.

Alex. Waldbart & Sons, on Horton
place, report a good trade.

A. G. Greiner's display of cacti at the
flower show was a great attraction for
the visitors.

Mr. Barnett, representing Reed & Kel-
ler, New York, called the past week.

Mrs. W. J. Vesey, returning from Kan-
sas City, spent the day in the city on
Friday.

The florists' team lost two games to
the Unions November 14, although they
averaged 871 per game and 174 per man.
Ellison was high man, 574; Beyer, 529;
Kuehn, 524; Beneke, 517, and Mein-
hardt, 455. J. J. B.

Seed Trade News.

AMERICAN SEED TRADE ASSOCIATION.

Pres., W. H. Grenell, Saginaw, W. S., Mich.;
First Vice- Pres., L. L. May. St. Paul; Sec'y and
Treas C E. Kendel, Cleveland. The 24th annual
meetlnV will be held at San Jose, Cal., June, 1906.

It is reported that even yet there are
seedsmen who are expecting a good de-
livery of onion seed.

He.vly Bros., Belle Center, O., report
a shipment to one firm of seventeen cars
of Improved Learning field corn for seed.

The next question that will arise in
the seed line is likely to be, ' ' How many
beans am I going to get?"

With onions, potatoes and cabbage
resting easy on a rising market, the av-
erage market gardener is not worrying
at the prospect of high seed prices. They
all express a willingness to divide with
the seedsman.

Some of the surplus lists that are ar-
riving at different points agitate the re-
cipients. They find, however, that in
most cases anything they want is dis-
posed of before their telegram ordering
same reaches the offerer.

A. E. McKenzie, of Brandon, Man.,
reports that the two cars of onion sets
spoken of in the Eeview a week or two
ago, reached Brandon safely and he is
more convinced than ever that his meth-
od of getting onion sets forward safely
is the right plan.

Visited Chicago: A. A. Berry, of A.
A. Berry Seed Co., Clarinda, Iowa; An-
drew Morton, representing Peter Hen-
derson & Co., New York; Eugene Schaet-
telle, of Vilmorin-Andrieux & Co., Paris,
France; H. M. Clair, representing C. L.
Allen & Co., Philadelphia.

EOBT. BuiST Co., Philadelphia, is ad-
vertising American tuberoses in English
gardening papers, offering to lay down
in London Dwarf Double Pearl at $10.66
per thousand. They give a list of forty
or more customers, to whom they say they
ship annually, which reads like a clipping
from Burke's Peerage.

In England there is continued discus-
sion as to the priority of the names Ailsa
Craig q,nd Excelsior as applied to on-
ions which most in the trade concede to
be identical. It is widely grown in Eng-
land and many private gardeners in
the United States grew it this season,
especially for exhibition.

From reports it is quite a while since
the average onion set grower was in such
a quandary over what he would best do
about securing seed. A high price for
«eed has not prevailed at this time of
the year for several seasons and that the
price of sets after the harvest of 1906
■will be any higher on account of it the
growers very much doubt.

The seed trade committee of which
<^arles N. Page is chairman, has a new
idea on the government seed distribu-
^on. It is hoped to interest President
Roosevelt in the matter and possibly so
appeal to his ideas of fairness that he
"Will, in his forthcoming message to Con-
gress, pronounce against the distribution
for which appropriation must bo made at
this session.

Meiftion The Review when you write.

It is reported from the southwest that
crops of melons and other vine seeds,
which often yield well in that section
have yielded quite poorly this year.

The Helen Lewis sweet pea, wliich ■non
the silver medal as the best variety of
1905 at the National Sweet Pea Society's
show in London, England, has been sold
by the raiser, John Watson, Jr., to Chas.
W. Breadmore, the Winchester seedsman,
for dissemination in 1906.

A. A. Berry, Clarinda, Iowa, says that
the amount of hardship the government
free distribution of seeds imposes upon
the seedsmen, is just about half the ex-
tent of the 38,000,000 seed packets put
nut, as no doubt half of the packages
are used, the others being dropped into
the waste bnsket as useless, which they
are to a great extent.

J. M. Thorburn & Co., New York,
must seek a new location, as the build-
ing they occupy at 36 Cortlandt street.
New York, is to be razed.

E. S. Thompson, trading as the Michi-
gan Seed Co,, and the Central Seed &
Bulb Co., has moved to 194 Eandolph
street, Chicago, and will do a retail as
well as wholesale commission business.

The L. a. Budlong Co. has been ad-
vertising a big fall crop of spinach by
means of cards in thousands of Chicago
street cars. Backed up by a force of
salesmen calling on all grocers, hotels
and restaurants, they report that the ad-
vertising was very successful.

DEATH OF T. W. WOOD.

Timothy W. Wood, senior member of
the firm of T. W. Wood & Sons, and
president of the Implement Company,
of Eichmond, Va., died November 12.
Mr. Wood had been in failing health for
some time. Early in June he left for
Europe and spent about three months
abroad, hoping to improve by a change
of air and scenes.

A native of Lincoln, England, where
he was born sixty-six years ago, Mr.
Wood came to this country in 1873 and
early settled in Richmond, where he laid
the fonndation for what has since become
one of the leading seed houses in the
south. The beginning was unpretentious,
but Mr. Wood brought to the business a
sound judgment, which, with the experi-
ence gained during his connection with
similar enterprises in England, made a
success from the first. Today the firm
covers a territory including practically
Che entire south. The house also does
, considerable foreign business.

The other chief business connection
^f Mr. Wood was the Implement Co., of
Eichmond, of which he secured control
about eight years ago. His sons were
associated with him in this business until
the time of his death, with the excep-
tion of one, who withdrew from the firm
to open a seed house of his own in
Louisville, Ky.

-• The first wife of Mr. Wood was Miss
Elizabeth Price, of England. About
two years ago he married Mrs. Anna In-
gram, of Manchester. He leaves four
children: Henry W. Wood, William P.
Wood and Mrs. H. Stuart MacLean, of
Eichmond, and C. F. Wood, of Louis-
yille.

PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED.

Uncle Sam runs not only one of the
largest seed shops, but the largest pub-
lishing house in the United States, each
located at Washington, and he makes
about as much out of one as the other.
The publishing department has recently
been turning out an unusual quantity of
matter of interest to seedsmen, prepared
in the Bureau of Plant Industry of the
Department of Agriculture.

In line with the Department's recent
publication of the results of tests of
adulterated grass seeds. The Seeds of the
Bluegrasses is the more important of
the pamphlets just to hand. The work is
in two parts, one bearing the sub-title.
The Germination, Growing, Handling
and Adulteration of Bluegrass Seeds, by
Edgar Brown, the other Descriptions of
the Seeds of the Commercial Bluegrasses
and their Impurities, by F. H. Hillman.

The new crop of aster seed has just
been gathered; it is doubtful if anyone
lias small plants from last season 's seed
and without them you could not be suc-

for a summer crop, perhaps to occupy a

The Market.

Business has been good the past week.
No cut flowers are going to waste.
Chrysanthemums are plentiful but the
demand continues brisk. Roses are fairly
plentiful, but the supply of carnations
is not equal to the demand. Some good
carnations are being sent in now.

Various Notes.

Mrs. A. F. Barbe died last Tuesday.
Mr. Barbe has the sympathy of the trade
in his bereavement.

The C. A. Shaeflfer Floral Co. has or-
dered a new twenty-horsepower automo-
bile. This firm will start in business with
every modern convenience for handling
the trade.

Geo. M. Kellogg was unable to act
on the florists' entertainment committee
on account of illness.

The Florists' Bowling Club will hold
a tournament next week to contest for
the Geo. M. Kellogg cup and other prizes.
The contest will conclude with a ban-
quet at the Midland hotel next Satur-
day evening.

Wm. H. Woerner and family, of
Omaha, have been visiting liere the past
week. Mr, Woerner had a display of
wire designs at the show.

Wm. Kimball, formerly with W. H.
Humfeld, has taken a situation with
Samuel Murray.

The florists of Kansas City should get
together and work to make the next
flower show a record breaker. Kay-See.

TORONTO.

Trade during the last couple of weeks
has been good, especially as the demand
i^or mums has been above the average.
I^erhaps this is accounted for by a num-
■Jer of the small growers not growing as
many as previously. Roses and cama-
tions are coming in more plentifully as
>ne supply of mums is decreasing. The
'lemand for stock in general this fall
has l)(on unsually good and practically
^'^ gnud stock has found ready sale.

DENVER.

The Market.

There is not much change from last
writing, if any. Prices liave liold well,
though there has been a slight falling
off in some lines, notably in lack of de-
mand for second grade stock, which, on
Jiccount of the recent scarcity, com-
manded a good price. The trade in town
was good, and fine outside. People are
getting a lot of things done in the social
world. The last week was marked by a
number of interesting events. One of
the most important was the reception
given by Mrs. McDonald, the governor's
wife, tho Symphony concert and other
smaller events, all of which used flowers.
Among the events which stand out
prominently on the social horizon is the
Charity Ball, which takes place at the
Brown Palace hotel November 23. The
decorations, always elaborate, will be, as
heretofore, by the Park Floral Co.

Beauties are plentiful and tlie supply
equal to the demand. The quality is
fine. Brides and Maids are a little more
plentiful and some very fine stock can
be had. Indications are that there will
be a good cut for Thanksgiving. Lib-
erty and Eichmond are in good form
ami enough to go around.

Carnations are not so scarce as at last
writing, with the exception of red. The
quality is of the best. Chrysanthemums
are now in quantity and almost any
kind can be had. They sell at from $1
per dozen to $4. Violets are scarce. At
no time have there been enough to go
around, but we anticipate a larger sup-
ply for Thanksgiving. They retail for
$1 and $1.50 per hundred, with the
chances of a raise in price for selects.

Blooming plants have had a good sale,
especially chrysanthemums. Some of
the stock is not first-class and the de-
j)artment stores are selling them, which
is sufficient to say. Begonia Lorraine is
fine and can be seen in all the shops.

Various Notes.

The Baniels & Fisher Store Co. had a
chrysantiiemum exhibition November 15
and 16, which was very good, some fine
blooms being exhibited, as well as
plants. They also had a table and man-

tel decoration which was very credit-
able indeed. It was under the super-
vision of A. H. Bush.

J. A. Valentine, N. A. Benson, Emil
Glauber and Al Mauff attended the Kan-
sas City flower show, which they say
was good.

F. T. Rushmore, of the city park
greenhouses, has some of the finest
chrysanthemums seen for some time,
some of which he had on exhibition at
the Kansas City flower show.

The god of love appears to be busy
iu some of our establishments and you
cannot tell where his shafts will strike,
sometimes in the most unexpected
places, as was evidenced by the depart-
ure of Boliver Ellis Gillis, who slipped
out of town very quietly, ostensibly to
visit the Kansas City flower show, but
in reality to join the ranks of the bene-
dicts. They say the fortunate lady is a
very wealthy widow from New Orleans.
His many friends are ready with the
congratulations on their return.

E. S. Mahan. of the Alpha Floral Co.,
is now seen at his store after his illness.

DISEASED LILIES.

I have a lot of Harrisii and longiflo-
rum in 5-inch pots. They were started
August 15 in a good sandy loam Avith a
small quantity of bone meal added. Tho
leaves on some of them are curling u[i
and turning yellow. It seems to be
spreading rapidly. I am keeping then
in a temperature from 52 to 55 degrees
at night ind 60 to 65 degrees in the day-
time. What can I do for them to pre-
vent the disease from spreading? En-
closed find some of the leaves. C. W.

These lilies are infested Avith the Ber-
)nuda diseaf^e and as yet I have learned
of no remedy for it after it has once
got a hold. I would advise segregating
the diseased plants and giving them a
higher temperature, not with the idea of
effecting a cure, but by this means you
may ru?h off a few flowers before the
disease has had time to entirely destroy
the plant. This may also help to check
the trouble from spreading to the healthy
stock. E. ■

PACIFIC COAST.

THE SAN FRANCISCO SHOW.

The fall exhibition jointly held by the
Californian State Floral Society and the
Pacific Coast Horticultural Society No-
vember 9 to 11 was a success from every
point of view. Ideal California weather
and plenty of interest taken, both by the
exhibitors and the general public, tend-
ed to make this the most complete suc-
cess ever held iu San Francisco. The
attendance was good and exlubits of all
classes were well up to the mark. Thanks
to our warm weather, the showing of
outdoor chrysanthemums has never been
excelled and tho collections shown by
Hector McLean and Thos. Mclntyre, of
Menlo Park, leave nothing cither to be
iniagir.ed or desired.

Tho largest assortment of plants was
exhibited by the Cox Seed Co., whose ex-
hibit consisted of not only greenhouse
and stove plants, but a large collection
of ornamental shrubbery. H. Plath, of
Ocean View, had the finest specimen
ferns in the exhibition, as Avell as sev-
eral very large palms. The collection
of ferns, palms and orchids by Sievers &
Co. Mas very complete, as was also their
exhibit of carnations. A large vase of
Hannah Hobart was a feature. In addi-
tion, Sievers & Co. exhibited several
bunches of A. Spreckles, Mrs. M. A. Pat-
ten and John Carbone. A new seedling,
No. 506, is worthy of special mention.
It is of a very dark shade of crimson
and resembles EooscAolt. Sievers & Co.
received the competitive prize, a silver
cup. for the most popular exhibit.
Schwerin Brop. received first premium for
their rose exhibit. They also showed
a s'oedling carnation. No, 21. It is a
good shade of pink and a sport from En-
chantress.

Thos. Thompson, of Santa Cruz,
showed several vases of seedling carna-
tions, some of which are of considerable
merit. H. L. Goertzhain, of the Red
wood Nurseries, received first prize for
his chrysanthemum exhibit. Col. Apple
ton, Bonnaffon and Convention Hall were
os]ioiially noticeable. A large assort-
ment of the best commercial carnation?

was also shown by Mr, Goertzhain. The
Holland Nursery Co., of Elmhurst, re-
ceived special mention for their display
of Col. Appleton mums.

Hector McLean, gardener to J. L.
Flood, Menlo Park, received first prize
for outdoor-grown roses. He also made

of Rex begonias, cyclamen and coleus
ever seen here. J. \V. Bagge also made
a big exhibit of coleus, for which he
received first prize.

W. H. Crocker's exhibit of dahlias
was wonderful when it is considered that
we are now in the winter season.

Domoto Bros., of Elmhurst, made a
large display of Japanese plants, palms
and ferns, also roses, carnations and
chrysanthemums. The Garden City Pot-

made attractive displays.

Frark Pelicano received first prize
for violets, also for his exhibit in the
floral design competition, the design
being a canoe of roses, valley and carna-

second prize for a design representing
a wine cask of Estelle carnations, ferns
and clusters of grapes. Geo. Hansen, of
Berkeley, made an interesting exhibit

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

Over six months since wo have had a
drop of rain. This state of affairs af-
fects business in general to a great ex-
tent and incidentally of course the flo-
rists' trade as well. Flowers of all kinds
are plentiful and the prices remain about
the same as they have for the past
month. Roses, owing to the very favor-
able weather, are more plentiful than is
usual at this season of the year. Car-
nations are more abundant, also, and
somewhat cheaper. Outdoor mums can
be had at any price and they are of
good quality throughout. Indoor mums
are scarce and from $1.50 to $2.50 per
dozen is asked by the growers for their
best stock. Violets are hardly equal to
the demand. The stores are paying from
75 cents to $1 per dozen bunches. There
is still some outdoor stock offered, but it
shows the results of picking long after
the season has ended.

proper distance apart to 'plant pecan
trees in rich soil is not less than fifty
feet, and seventy-five or even 100 feet

fifty feet apart in about twenty years,
if the trees are given proper treatment.
On poor land the distance apart should
be less, for they will not grow so fast,
nor live as long as those on rich land. A
pecan tree should be at its prime at fifty
years from planting.

PLANTING AND PRUNING TREES.

[A syiipisis of a paper read by R. Tlmmlor,
before tla- Omaha Florists' Club, November :',
HH)5.]

I don't believe that I can tell you
many new things in this line, so I will
Just bring to discussion some well known
facts Irom my observations, and other
people 's. First I will discuss the time
of planting. About this question there
oxi'-ts a regular tug of war. Some favor
fall and others spring planting. Both
parties are generally in the right. There
is generally the belief that after the
leaves drop and the ground freezes a few
inches, that all the life in trees and
shrubs cornes to a standstill. But it is
scientifically proved that this is not so.
Troo.e, even in zero weather, when they
are covered with ice, keep on growing.
This growth is not visible, as the part
whicli is mostly growing is underground,

the roots. Then any planting ought to
be done in fall.

People who preach spring planting are
right to some extent. A tree perspires all
winter and if you live in places where
the winter airs are very dry you are lia-
ble to lose your trees, but if you have
a chance to give them a thorough wetting
I think this can be overcome. From a
scientific standpoint, where trees are
taken up in spring and planted right
away they ought to keep right on grow-
ing and the circulation of the sap is
checked for only a very short time, that
is, if the weather is favorable, but
should there be a hot drought many of
these trees would be lost. An early fall
planted tree will always withstand a
spring drought better than a spring
planted one, as in most instances it is
well rooted by that time.

Now fall and spring planting from a
commercial point. Usually there is more
time in the fall and the ground is in bet-
ter working condition. In spring it often
happens that everything gets into leaf
right away and anyone who has to do any
large planting cannot get around to do
it; consequently planting should be done
in the fall, as early as possible. Don't
wait until the last. leaves fall but start
as soon as the leaves discolor, even if you
have to strip some of them off. By plant-
ing early in the fall you gain time and
the trees make better growth the first
year. I for myself would do all my plant-
ing in the fall.

I have observed that many people in
planting use little manure, many of them
saying they are going to use liquid
manure in the summer. It is all right if
that is done. But in the summer there
is other work to do and this is neglected.
The cheapest way, and that is what we
want, is to use a good deal of manure
while planting. Dig the holes large
enough and put manure in the bottom,
mixed with soil, and put more soil on
top so that the roots of the tree do not
come in contact with the manure, but it
ought to be in easy reach when they form
new fiVjrous roots. After covering the
roots with good soil put manure on top,
so that with every watering and rain fer-
tilizer is washed down to the roots. In
our short-lived age we want to see quick
results and I don't see any other way
in getting them. After you fill the hole
up, give a good mulching. Mulching has
more than one good result. Done in the
fall it keeps the frost longer out of the
ground and gives the roots of the newly
planted tree a longer growing season.
And in summer it keeps the moisture in
the ground. In spring mulching keeps
the ground longer from being thawed up
so tlie tree don't get an early start, to be
injured by the late spring frosts.

Trimming or not trimming trees while
jdniiting is a greatly argued question.
Even experts are of different opinions;
some favor the trimming and others like

to see the trimming done one year after
planting. It is hard to tell who is right,
but I think that in taking up a tree,
large or small, we ought to try to bal-
ance the loss of roots by trimming the
top. How much to trim cannot be laid
down by a rule; everybody has to use
judgment. The better and the more roots
a tree has, the less trimming it needs. If
roots are few, trim heavily.

I have seen people in the southwest go
to the forests and dig up elm trees,
which are considered hard to handle.
They would cut the top off entirely and
just plant the roots and stem. A row
of these trees looked, after planting, like
a row of posts. I never believed that
any of them would live but I hardly saw
any losses there. Certainly every tree
will not stand for hard trimming and I
would not advise to do any severe cutting
back like that, but just cut enough back
to balance the top with the loss of roots.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

NOVKMBER 23, 1905.

VICTORY

The best scarlet carnation— is a fancy in the fullest sense of the word

TOLEDO.

Qub Meeting.

Our Florists' Club meeting, on Novem-
ber 15, was well attended. Fine cycla-
mens were sliown by (ieorge Eaekhani, of
Detroit, by Christ Winterich, of Defiance,
who came down witli the stock, and by
E. A. Kuhiiko. A bunch of mums by
Nathan Smith & Son, Adrian, Mich., drew
much favorable conunent. The grower
said they were only seconds, but most
growers present would have been proud
to let them go under his own name as
firsts. E. G. Hill Co. also sent a large
lot of mums that showed what skilled
hands can do, but their tlowers arrived
mostly in poor condition, yet those that
kept best brought fancy prices at the end
of the meeting. Krueger Bros., of this
•city, showed fine American Beauties,
•which shows that they can be grown in
Toledo as well as anywhere else. Mr.
Winterich also brought up a few ma-
honia branches and as everybody thought
they would be the right thing for decor-
ating and making up, the members pres-
ent soon put ",the smile that won't come
off" on him by the orders they gave him.
He also showed a new impatiens of sal-
mon color that took well with the boys.
It is called Impatiens Holstei.

After the business part of the meeting
was out of the way, E. A. Kuhnke was
called upon to explain how he grew the
cyclamen shown by him, which he did in
a short, snappy talk, after which answer-
ing questions by the members. Mr. Win-
terich took the floor and, being an expert
in cyclamen culture, kept the attention
of the audience for a good while. Mr.
Winterich produces his own seed and sells
about 40,000 plants during the season.
The plants shown by him, although not
in bloom, showed that he certainly knows
how to handle them. The cyclamen sent
by George Rackham, of Detroit, were
more in bloom than any and well up to
the standard of excellence set by him for
a number of years. We were only sorry
that he did not come himself.

Fred Ritter, our pottery man, came
■down with a box of cigars and the boys
dutifully emptied the box. Our presi-
dent, George Bayer, has had new honors
heaped upon him, being elected to the
city council from the fourth ward on the
independent ticket. Wonder what trouble
he will get into next.

Thos. Magee, of the Scottwood Green-
houses, was not present at the last meet-
ing. It would have cost him a box of
ten-centers to square' matters with the
boys. He had a large wedding decora-
tion on hand the day before the meeting
and certainly did a fine job. After his
men had finished, he went to the house to
inspect and there the bride caught sight
of him and she was so well pleased and
the house looked so gorgeous that smack,

GERANIUMS.

Referring to an item on the geranium
under the heading of ' ' Timely Remind-
ers ' ' in your issue of November 9, I wish
to ask for further information as to
their ' ' needing practically no water for
several months." Can they be held for
such a length of time as that in the sand
after rooting without injury to the fu-
ture plant? R. H. C.

Geraniums, if rooted in flats, or to be
more correct, boxes of sand, need very
little water after being rooted. Between
now and February one watering per month
should suffice. All that is needed is to
prevent them from shriveling up. As to
their being hurt by such treatment, we
would say that for many years we have
grown all our bedding stock this way
and have not lost five per cent of the
cuttings put in. Of course the plants will
stand more water, but we do not think it
desirable to encourage growth before
February. When taken out of the flats
at that date they will be hard, stocky
plants with a mass of fine, fibrous roots
which will soon develop fine plants in a
moderately warm and moist house and
make splendid 4-inch pot stock before
bedding-out time comes around.

Erie, Pa. — E. C. Hill has a seedling
geranium which has made a hit with
everyone who has seen it. It is cerise in
color and has a fine habit.

Macon, Ga. — The Idle Hour Nurseries,
under the ownership of D. C. Horgan,
are having a genuine boom. The store
on Cotton avenue is one of the most con-
stantly busy places in Macon. It is said
to be the best equipped and handsomest
store of the kind in Georgia. At the big
fair just closed the concern received six
first awards.

CINQNNATL

The Market

Business was only medium during the
past week. Several large decorations
helped to move some stock, but the gen-
eral run of trade was scarcely up to
standard. In a week Thanksgiving will
be upon us and from present prospects
the call for flowers will be large this
year. Many orders have already been
booked. There will be a slight increase
over the present quoted prices. Of course
the chrysanthemum will be still with
us, and a good crop of roses will be on.
Carnations, too, will be in pretty heavy
supply. Other varieties of flowers we ex-
pect to be equal to the demand.

Mums are at their height now and fine
large ones are to be seen in all of the
wholesale houses. Still the medium ones
sell best. The supply of small mums,
especially in white, is very large, and it
is with diflSculty that they are moved.
Carnations are coming in larger supply,
and pink and white roses are almost a
glut. Bed roses are scarce and sell on
sight. Beauties, as is usual, are in de-
mand and sell out clean daily.

Of miscellaneous stock, there is quite
an assortment, and a good demand. Vio-
lets perhaps head the list, with the de-
mand far greater than the supply. Green
goods remain fairly plentiful. ^

Various Notes.

Quite a party of Cincinnati florists at-
tended the flower show in Indianapolis
last week and were well pleased with
what they saw and also with the hospi-
tality of the Indiana florists. Among
those who went were E. G. Gillett, Mrs.
Gillett and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Wil-
liam Murphy, Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Kyrk,
E. Witterstaetter, Sam Kunz, C. E.
Critchell, and Mr. Keller, of Lexing-
ton, Ky.

Many of the retail florists have started
to handle crockery of various descrip-
tions as a side line and they report it to
be a paying departure. It is certainly
.very attractive and adds to the general
appearance of the window display, also
of the store.

L. H. Kyrk has put in a line of crock-
ery to sell wholesale and reports a good
demand for it. C. J. Ohmer.

Chassell, Mich. — The Lutey Co. is
doing a first-class business throughout the
copper country, with establishments
at Chassell, Bed Jacket and Calumet.
The local plant consists of three houses
for carnations and two for roses, with
one house for chrysanthemums followed
by bulbous stock. At Calumet there
are ten houses with a total of about
20,000 square feet of glass.

The Market

The past -neek has been one of the
kind that keeps everyone in a good humor;
everybody busy and no time to think
of our troubles, although the retail men
say they are not making any money.
The wholesale men say there is no scar-
city of stock and from the quantities of
chrysanthemums, Beauties and roses seen
one is ready to believe them. However,
carnations still continue to hold well in
price, and violets have been somewhat
scarce this week. But all in all, the re-
ports from wholesalers and retailers are
that business is all right.

Various Notes.

Wm. Loew and Jos, Jones, who have
done business for some time as Loew &
Jones, have dissolved partnership and
Mr. Jones has opened a store of his own
on corner of Fifth avenue and Liberty
street.

Mr. Sam McClements' buggy was
turned over the other day, throwing him
to the ground. He was painfully but
not seriously injured. This is his third
accident of various kinds in a short
time.

The Florists' Club is arranging for a
smoker, Tuesday, December 5. Quite an
elaborate entertainment is being planned.
Cards will be sent to all members whose
dues are paid. Those in arrears will
have an opportunity to pay up or they
will have to do their smoking outside.

Mrs. E. A. "Williams had the decora-
tions for the banquet given by the Scot-
tish Eite Masons last Friday. This was
probably one of the largest affairs that
will take place this season. They used
5,000 yards of laurel wreathing, 100
large cases of wild smilax, fourteen van-
loads of palms and other plants. Du-
quesno Gardens, where the banquet was
held, was a garden of beauty and reflects
much credit on Mrs. Williams and her
staff of workmen.

The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. has is-
sued a handsomely printed supply cata-
logue. Hoo-Hoo.

.Jacksonville, III. — J. Heinl & Sons
gave each visitor a flower on November
9 and it took 2,500 to go around. They
had advertised a special sale of ferns at
their store on West State street.

EscANABA, Mich. — Peterson & Son
made extensive alterations in their es-
tablishment the past summer and have
a thoroughly up-to-date place of 10,000
feet in glass. Two new houses 20x100
have just been finished. They heat with

NEV ORLEANS.

The Show.

Our flower show has certainly been the
most successful ever held in this city.
We are not yet ready to say exactly how
much we have added to our treasury, but
we will be far ahead of our expenses and
we will have the best encouragement to
keep on and work for even a better one
in the near future.

It has been almost decided that a per-
manent organization will be formed which
will be known as the Floral Association
of New Orleans, a sort of auxiliary asso-
ciation to the New Orleans Horticultural
Society. A membership of at least 1,000
ladies will be easily secured, each one
paying a yearly fee of $1 in exchange for
four admission tickets. This sum of
$1,000 will go a good way toward paying
the expenses of the exhibitions which
would be given at least every sixteen
months.

Various Notes.

The weather is still quite warm. Chrys-
anthemums are in full bloom in all the
gardens. The market is fair, roses being
planted in abundance,

Abele Bros, bring the best roses to the
French market.

M. Cook & Son's late chrysanthemums
are fine enough to last until Christmas.

J. Fonta had a lot of Dr. Enguehard
and Wm. Duckham raised outside and
without covering. They were fine flow-
ers, only a little late to be of use at
the first of November.

U. J. Virgin has purchased for $25,-
000 the G. Titard residence on Canal
street. His intention is to make, it still
more attractive by the erection of a range
of up-to-date greenhouses, which will be
second to none in our city.

E. Valdejo is selling his Gloire de Lor-
raine very fast and at a good price. They
are nice, but our changeable climate and
damp atmosphere do not seem to agree
with their perfect development.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

November 23, 1905.

DETROIT.

The Market

Business remains about the same as it
has the past three or four weeks. Mums
find a ready sale, but only the medium-
priced varieties, such as can be retailed
at from $2 to $3 per dozen, are in de-
mand. Roses and carnations are becom-
ing more plentiful. Violets are bringing
a good price.

Qub Meeting.

The regular meeting of the club, held
November 15, was very well attended.
Secretary J. F. Sullivan being absent,
the report of the committee on cement
benches was held over until the next
meeting. The question box, as usual,
brought forth many interesting discus-
sions.

Had the stork been a little quicker we
might have smoked cigars to the health
of Albert Pochelon (Bemb), Jr., but as
it was they will be expected December 6.

Various Notes.

Eobert Flowerday has been in Toronto,
acting as judge at the show,

J, F, Sullivan merely stopped in to
say ' * Hello ! ' ' making a flying trip from
the east to Chicago,

C, H. Pease, of the Detroit Cut Flower
Co., reports a marked increase in busi-
ness since the opening day.

Visitors: Martin Reukauf and J. J.
Karrin, Philadelphia; M, E. Thorn, Har-
rietta, Mich, H, S.

NATURAL GAS.

I am thinking of using natural gas in-
stead of soft coal for heating my green-
house. Will it affect plants in the green-
house? Will it be as economical as coal
at $7 per ton, the gas costing 35 cents
per thousand feet? , H. A,

Natural gas if allowed to escape in
greenhouses will kill plants the same as
will manufactured gas. For heating pur-
poses 30,000 cubic feet of gas are con-
sidered the equivalent of one ton of good
coal; 30,000 cubic feet at 35 cents per
thousand is equivalent to coal at $10.50
per ton. First cost considered the coal
is cheapest. If the gas saves the ex-
pense of a night fireman it may prove a
profitable investment even at the rate
mentioned. L. C. C.

Silver City, N. M. — Kate C. Crawford
has succeeded to the business of Mrs.
M. B. Hairston.

Washington, Ia. — The Keck Floral
Co. finds a good local demand for the
crop from a house of lettuce.

SLIPPING POINTS

\

There is a limit to the strain up to which
a set screw in a gear will hold on a round
shafting — we know just what that limit is.
Before it's reached we use a square shafting
in place of the round. This square shaft
passing through a corresponding opening in
the gear, absolutely prevents any possible
slipping. It is the ACCURATE COMPUT-
ING, the simple and inexpensive way in
which these various POSSIBILITIES are
met — even before they exist — tht' gives one
confidence in a concern. It is this constant
figuring on the emergency call that makes
our ventilating devises sure — makes you sure
they are sure. After all, confidence is the
backbone of the whole thing, so when you
build in the Spring see to it that the B.-H.-P.
Co.'s apparatus goes in. If you do intend
building in the Spring, why not get ready
NOW, so you'll be ready THEN (ahead of
the other fellow) ?

of the same, must be possessed with gooa judgment and are generally suc-

wooden gutters, which were only 5 years old, and replaced the same with 6000 feet of

GROWS THE BEST STOCK

Naturally everybody who wants to be sure of the best stock sends his orders to us. We do the
largest business in Chicago, both local and shipping, but

WE HAVE PLENTY OF STOCK

to take care of more buyers. We propose to keep right on extending our business and we want to hear
from buyers who want regular supplies. We bill all shipments at market rates for same quality, day of ship-
ment. (After Thanksgiving, prices are expected to quickly get back to the level of the last few weeks.)
A trip through our extensive greenhouses at Morton Grove, 111., only 14 miles from Chicago on the
C, M. & St. P. R. R., will convince flower buyers, if they need further evidence, that we have got the goods.

ANGELUS CHRISTMAS BELLS

COPYRIGHTED -^^^^^S^^^^BSSffii. COPYRIGHTED

NO BEnER BELL CAN BE MADE AT ANY PRICE, AND THE PRICE IS REASONABLE

Angelus and Alpha Bells are made in 2%, 5, 6, 7, 9, 12 and 15-inch sizes. For the (;onvenience
of those who want to see these Bells we will mail a 2%-inch Angelus Bell for 80 cents, and a 2%-inch
Alpha Bell for 20 cents. Price lists on application.

We do not believe there is a town, however small, where a good business cannot be done with
these bells.

In reply to many inquiries, we wish to state that we do not manufacture paper bells, and do not
intend to do so. We find they are utterly unsatisfactory; they accumulate dust and dirt to an incredible
degree and lose their shape so that they soon lose all semblance to the shape of a bell. They satisfy
neither buyer nor seller. They may be all right for 5 and 10-cent stores, where they are found in profusion,
but not for florists. They are all played out with florists in the east, and will soon be played out in the west

Covering the Bulbs.

For the past two seasons at this date
we were frozen up tight, November 25,
1905, is a lovely, bright mild day and
the little European sparrow, which may
take centuries to learn the wisdom and
comfort of migration south, is fluttering
about as lively as in April. We can do
with such beautiful weather for weeks
to come, but should be prepared for a
severe drop in temperature and wintry
blasts. Now is the time your beds of
tulips and narcissi that are in flats, cov-
ered with three or four inches of earth
or tanbark, should receive a 6-inch cover-
ing of stable litter. "We always thought
it best to let the earth covering of these
bulbs be frozen an inch or t\^o, because
it prevents the tulips running up long
and spindling. Don't overdo it. About
five or six inches are enough. No
harm if frost does go through the litter
and an inch into the soil covering. Some-
times we get a foot of snow, the best of
all winter protections, but we cannot de-
pend on that.

Last spring when Mr. Beerhorst, the
bulb grower of Sassenheim, Holland,
was here, we had a long talk on the best
way of keeping tulips and narcissi be-
fore forcing and he expressed himself
as horrified to read that occasionally the
pickax is brought into requisition in get-
ting out the frozen flats. Perhaps it was
the writer who had occasion to mention
such brutal treatment. This does not
often occur. Mr. Beerhorst also had with
him written instructions how to build or
prepare what I would call a bulb cellar,
which I promised to slightly elaborate
and have published. After careful pe-
rusal I was convinced that his plan was
not suited to our climate.

But he told me one thing which was
new. He pronounced a tulip as abso-
lutely hardy, as hardy as an oak, but
said the Von Sion narcissus is not. He
had known them to perish in Holland
with 15 degrees of frost. This may be
new to some, as it was to me. We al-
ways treated the "Von Sion as being as
hardy as a tulip. Roman hyacinths should
have very little frost and never be han-
dled when frozen. Paper Whites and
none of the Polyanthus narcissi should
ever be touched by frost.

Cyclamen.

I notice that cyclamen sown in Octo-
ber are well up in the seed pans and
need potting off. Far better than small
pots for these tiny corms is to put them
in flats. Transplanted into flats they can
grow in tiiem without being disturbed
for another two months. We have tried
both small pots and flats and much pre-
fer the latter, to produce a vigorous
I'lant and good bulb. Leaf-mold is al-
ways advocated for cyclamen, especially
in the younger stages. You don't al-
ways have leaf-mold. Now here is where
the compost from last year's hotbed
• omes in. There can be no ammonia left
in it and its mechanical condition and
composition are about the same as leaf-
mold. It can be used in any compost.
In transplanting these little cyclamens

don't leave the little bulb on the sur-
face. Put it just below the surface.
They will soon work their way to the
top.

While speaking of cyclamen, the season
of their beauty is just commencing and
what plant have we more beautiful in
flower and foliage, and so durable in the
living room? The cyclamen will endure
quite a low temperature but if you want
to do them just right we have found 55
degrees at night to be the thing.

Small Ferns.
The demand for small fern dishes
seems as great as ever and the quantity
of small ferns used for this purpose
must be enormous. Don't make the mis-
take, so often seen, of keeping the lit-
tle ferns on a bench with a lot of steam
or hot water pipes underneath, and per-
haps only the merest covering of sand or
ashes on the boards. Little heat as you
may think will penetrate an inch board,
it is enough to shrivel up the little ferns.
Put on two or three inches of ashes, or
something that will keep their roots cool.

The Lilies.

Japan lilies intended for Easter, which
have been doing as well in a cold frame
as anywhere, should now be brought
into a warmer temperature. It is not

toward spring than in early winter, but
what protection you use should be ap-
plied now. Some use a light covering
of straw. If this is heavy enough to
protect the plants it is also heavy
enough to weigh on the plants and rot
them. There is nothing equal to ever-
green boughs, and where the hemlock
spruce grows its branches are the best of
all. It is a great pity to have fine
pansies now and let them freeze out be-
fore spring for the sake of a little
labor and thought. William Scott.

NEW SHASTA DAISIES.

The photograph of a plant of Alaska,
herewith produced, was taken last July
in our nursery. The plant was a tiny
specimen received from Luther Burbank
sixteen months previously. It has re-
ceived no special treatment. At the
time the photograph was taken it carried
over 250 blossoms, none undar four and
one-half inches across and many an inch
larger. The plant was six feet across
each way and about four feet high.

Of these new daisies Alaska is the first
to bloom and also produces a second
crop. It is also the most rapid grower.
California produces cream-colored flow-
ers and lias very long stems. Westralia is
the last to bloom and has the smallest
flower, but is my choice as a florists '
flower. The blossoms have two rows of
petals and last cut much longer than
either of the others. I have succeeded
in getting flowers six inches across, and
a friend of mine, who has very rich
borders, grows them six and a half
inches and over.

They are easily propagated from cut-
tings in the spring. I cannot advise
raising from seed. They revert too

Shasta Daisy Alaska.

necessary to begin forcing yet. New
Year's will do for that. If they have
45 degrees at night for the month of
December it will be warm enough. Get
them well rooted before you give them a
high temperature.

Protecting Pansies.

Thousands of pansies are lost or crip-
pled every winter through pure neglect in
protection. It is true this occurs more

much to the old types. A good one is
the exception and they occupy a great
deal of space. We have, however, a seed-
ling that bloomed all last November. We
are trying it again this season and if it
proves as satisfactory as it did last year
we may send it out.

Any florist who can use long-stemmed
white flowers in July and August will
find these daisies a paying investment.

SHOW NOTES.

Echoes from Kansas City.

Frank Kusliiiioie, yardcner at the city
greenliouses in tlie park at Denver, sent a
box of chrvsantlienunns to his townsmen
who were at the Kansas City show, for
exhibition only. They arrived late, but
they staged tlieni, and some of the
blooms were so creditable as to attract
more than pa.ssing notice from growers.

John N. May, one of the judges at the
Kansas City show, said to a reporter:
"I have attended most of the important
flower sliows in this country for many
years and believe the Nephrolepis Pier-
soni elegantissima which won first prize
Monday night cannot be duplicated any-
where in this country. Tliev are the

finest specimens 1 ever saw. In other
cities the florists seem to have striven
only to nuiltijily the stock, while here at-
tention has liccii given to produce the
finest grade possible. If I were asked
to pick out the finest exhibit in the en-
tire show I should not hesitate to select
these ferns. ' ' They were exhibited by
W. L. Kock.

J. A. Valentine, of the Park Floral
Co., Denver, writes : ' * It seems to me that
no adequate mention has been made of
the exhibit of Begonia Gloire de Lor-
raine made by Samuel Murray at the
Kansas City show, although the group
was pictured in last week's Eeview. He
had twenty-five plants in 6-inch pots that
were simply magnificent, better than
anything I have ever seen, and better
than T thought these plants could be
done. W«> Denver men rather took it

for granted that these were the pick
from a large number grown, and that
Mr. Murray could probably not anywhere
near duplicate the exhibit. But on going
to his greenhouses we found that he had
several hundred there, equally as good,
and when I tell you that I sold Mr.
Murray this stock out of 2-inch pots in
May last, and that he only had a total of
500, you will better appreciate how much
to the grower's credit there is in the
exhibit he put up. His house of Lor-
raines was certainly a wonderful sight."
The total paid admissions at Kansas
City this year were 31,537, cash receipts
at the gate $7,884.25, The receipts at
the last show, in 1902, were $9,427.50, or
$1,534.25 more than for the show just
held. The premiums at that time amount-
ed to $5,626, while this year $4,400 will
cover the prize list expense.

BEST EXHIBITION VARIETIES.

As has been my custom for the past
five or six years, I append a list of
thirty varieties that on their record this
year are entitled to rank as the top
notchers for exhibition growers. This
list is made up after a good deal of
thought, study and comiiarison as to the
way different varieties liave been set up
at different exhibitions. The varieties
are set down in the order of their merit.

White.

White: Beatrice May, Mrs. D. V.
West. :\lerza. :\Irs. F. fV Thompson, W^
Wells and Timothy Eaton.

It will be observed that Katon, which
a year or two ago ranked first, is now
last on the list. Si/e used to carry it
through, but (ithcr varieties now have
the size an<l finisli also. 1). V. West, for
instance, can be grown half as large
again and still have an exquisite finish.
Beatrice ^lay also is a very finely fin-
ished flower, having great size and very
dwarf halMt. Merza still holds out and,
barring its +'ailing of wilting down, is
still hard to beat. .\'rs. F. F. Thomp-
son is an unknown (juaiitity to many
people just TioAv but will be better known
next year, as will also W. Wells. The
latter was very scarce this year but it is
a big, loose, shaggy variety and cannot
fail t(' foryt' alit ad.

Yellow.

Yellow: .Vjijik'ton, Mrs. W. Duckhani,
Cheltoni. Mnic. G. Kivol, Chrysanthc-
miste ^lontigny and F. S. Vallis.

Appleton still holds the sway when well
done, combining as it does, size, color.
foliage and stem.

Mrs. W. Duckham has made a fine
showing and fulfilled every prediction I
made for it. The competition for six
flowers of this variety for the Wells
medals at Philadelphia was a fine sight.
Cheltoni for any exhibition before No-
vember 1 is very fine. After that date

it is past its best. A vase of twenty-
five flowers of the variety at New York
was declared by some experts to be the
finest thing in the hall. Mme. G. Rivol
is a sport of Paola Radaelli and com-
bines size and vigor with a splendid
<'olor. Chrysanthemiste Montigny is one
of the very largest in size, yet retains a
lovely finish. Those who used to grow
the old Philadelphia can picture this, as
it is a duplicate in every way, only
twice as large. F. S. Vallis is well
known and iiardly needs touching on. I
have dropped Thirkell because it makes
such wretched foliage all summer and
Yellow Eaton is not needed any more.
Mrs. W. Knox, as a short-vase variety,
is a very promising newcomer, as is
also ^Irs. (ieo. Beech, in the yellows.

Pink.

Pink: Morton F. Plant, W. Duckhani,
Valerie Greenham, Viola, T. Richardson,
Lady Hopetoun for early. Leila Filkins
later.

Those who were jirivileged to see Mor-
ton F. Plant agree that it is the king
pin in pinks and next year will cut Duck-
ham out as ' * the ' ' pink. Immense in
size, with Appleton stem and foliage, it
will silence the carping critic who is al-
ways yelling for foliage up to the flower.
Duckham has been set up more than
any other pink this year and, generally
speaking, in fine shape, but so many
complain of it that Plant will be very
welcome. Valerie Greenham has proved
very satisfactory and some splendid
flowers have been shown at Madison, New
York and other places. Viola is also
very large and a very good color. An-
other year will see this largely grown.
T. Richardson won a certificate for itself
and in light pinks is an immense and
very beautiful variety. The color is the
same shade as Enchantress carnation,
lyady Hopetoun was shown in wonderful
shape at several places, though it can
hardly be kept in good shape after No-

vember 1, which is the reason I couple
it with Leila Filkins, which gives almost
the same shade some two weeks later.
I only saw one vase of Morel this year,
and that, alongside of Filkins, was a
sorry sight.

Crimson.

Crimson: Merstham Crimson, Mrs. H.
Partridge, S. T. Wright, W. R. Church,
Intensity and H. J. Jones.

The first named is the most beautiful
thing in its color I have seen and three
flowers in the Wells exhibit that had been
shipped from England were set up in
perfect condition and kept so during a
four days ' exhibition in Philadelpia.
With me the very early bud had too much
neck but later buds developed lovely
i flowers. Mrs. Partridge is very good,
I and, best of all, does not burn in the
I sun, as almost all of our fine reds do.
It has good, free growth and fine foli-
age and stem. S. T, Wright last year
did not show up very well but this year,
struck later and grown in a 6-inch pot,
has shown its merits, several growers
setting it up in perfect condition. Church
is well known. Its only faults are a
poor habit and hard to get started and
so many flowers, in place of reflexing,
turn in and show a steely bronze reverse.
Intensity shows very fine color and the
old H. .1. .Tones still sets up in fine shape.

Other Colors.

The any other color class contains
some splendid things that hardly fit in
1 with the standard colors but must not
: by any means be left out. Mrs. G.
I Heaume is a salmon buflf and has been
; spoken of several times in these notes.
i Mrs. John E. Dunne is one of the most
i distinct things of the year. Fine in
stem and foliage, the color is perhaps,
best described as old rose. A very showy
variety. E. J. Brooks, a rosy purple, is
far superior to Carrington, which has
been for years a leader in that class.
Brooks will be largely grown when bet-

ter known. The flower sent by Wells
from England to Philadelphia was truly
a monster.

Mary Ann Poekett was a pleasant sur-
prise to me. The growth all summer was
small, comparatively, as the plant is
such a dwarf grower, but when the
flower did come it was a beauty. The
color is Indian red with a golden reverse.

Mrs. A. J. Miller, a last year 's novelty,
showed up splendidly. It was the main
vase in the winning thirty-six for the
Pierson cup at Philadelphia and was
shown very fine at several other eastern
exhibitions.

J. H. Doyle was set up excellently and
its only fault, as I saw it, was a ten-
dency to wilt. This may or may not
be constitutional, at is with Merza, but
another year will prove it.

This list gives the cream of the varie-
ties and a man growing these kinds will
not get far astray. Whites which have
languished somewhat since Eaton came
out are now greatly enriched, and there
are several very promising new things
not given in this list, including May
Seddon, G. H. Kerslake and Dolly
Glide. The largest individual flower I
have seen this year is Mrs. D. V. West,
with Morton F. Plant and Beatrice May
close seconds. With the present rate of
progress five years will show us some-
thing that we do not dream of now.
Perhaps the best corroboration of this
is found in the fact that outside of Ap-
pleton and Merza, all the prize winners
at the eastern shows are varieties one or
two years old, and this is not due alone,
as some suppose, to the mad rush for
new things, because plenty of the older
varieties have been exhibited against
them, and been found wanting. The
quality of flowers set up by the average
exhibitor is very much higher and com-
petition generally has been much keener
and the interest in the queen of autumn
greater than ever before.

CHRYSANTHEMUMS AT CORNELL.

As usual, there was a fine crop of
chrysanthemums at Cornell University
this year. The season was rather warm
chrysanthemum weather, but most of the

growers have produced a fine lot of
blooms, although somewhat earlier than
was desired. Nevertheless, there has
been great enthusiasm in regard to the
fine chrysanthemum shows which were
held in Now York, Boston, Chicago,
Kansas City, St. Louis, and many other
large cities.

A Table of Roses at the St. Louis Show.

At the forcing house of Cornell Uni-
versity there was a fine display, for the
house was nicely filled with about sixty
varieties. This made a grand showing,
for all classes, forms and colors of
chrysantliemnms were to be seen.

Among some of the most important
varieties were: White, Mrs. D. V. West,
Timothy Eaton, Adula, Nellie Poekett,
W. J. Bryan, Ben Wells, Adrian and
Alice Byron; yellow, Eoosevelt, Col. Ap-
pleton, F. S. Vallis, Mrs. E. Thirkell,
Major Bonnaffon, Gold Mine and Mrs.
Wm. Duekman; pink, Viviand-Morel, Dr.
Enguehard, Wm. Duckham, F. A. Cob-
bold and Autumn Glory; crimson, Henry
Barnes, Merstham Eed, Black Hawk and
John Shrimpton.

Timothy Eaton, the "old stand-by,"
is a Japanese variety that is neither in-
curved or reflexed, but the petals stand
quite_ erect. The first or second crown
bud is usually taken, which produces a
good full sixteen-inch, pure white flower
on a stem four or five feet long. The
flower still remains one of the finest com-
mercial whites.

Ben Wells, another white, is also a
Japanese which has long petals loosely
arranged. Likely for this reason it may
be considered a better flower for exhi-
bition than for commercial use. Its size
is usually twelve to fourteen inches, on
a vigorous stem four feet high. The fol-
iage is quite long, broad, flat and deep-
ly cut.

Mrs. D. V. West, one of the newer
whites, is making a fine showing. It is
one that can be considered as neither

NOVBUDER 30, 1905.

purely reflexed nor incurved, but it also
has its petals standing quite erect with a
slight incurving. The flower is of me-
dium size and is usually produced on a
strong stem five or six feet high. It
is not quite full enough to make a first-
class commercial flower for shipping.
The foliage of Mrs. I). V. West is me-
dium size, crumpled and ha.s a tendency
to curl.

Nellie Pockett, a white with a creamy
centre, is a standard exhibition flower.
It is usually about sixteen inches and
the petals are rather curly, which makes
is quite attractive. It comes into bloom
about the time of Ben Wells, which is
about mid-season.

Adrian, a beautiful and very attrac-
tive white, is a great flower for commer-
cial as well as exhibition use. It is a
full incurved and will measure about
sixteen inches. The stem is a strong and
vigorous one and produces fine large
foliage.

Among the yellows, we find Col. Ap-
pleton, .lapanese incurved, will remain
for some time as one of the great com-
mercial yellows. Its size is sixteen to
eighteen inches and on a stem about five
feet high. The foliage is short, broad
and somewhat crumpled. It is a mid-
season flower, coming in a little sooner
than Bonnaifon.

F. S. Vallis, Japanese reflexed, is ele-
gant and showy for exhibition purposes,
but not so well adapted for shipping.
The petals are curly and their pale yel-
low gives the flower a very attractive
appearance. One of our flowers meas-
ured twenty-five inches and it was deep
and full. It was produced from a crown
bud and on a vigorous stem about five
feet long. The foliage was flat, long,
broad and deeply cut. As a rule it is a
rather early flower.

Mrs. E, Thirkoll is another fine exhibi-
tion flower of a deeper shade of yellow
and is more flat than Vallis. It may be
considered as being somewhat both re-
flexed and incurved. The size of this
flower is about eighteen inches and has a
stem of five feet. This season has been
somewhat warm for the last two var-
ieties to do their best.

:Mrs. Wm. Duckham is one of the most
graceful of reflexed deep yellow chry-
santhemums of the Japanese type. On a
stem five feet long an average flower
of sixteen or eighteen inches, with large,
long and crumpled foliage, is produced.
It is a moderately early bloomer but
it keeps well.

Among the pink varieties, we have one
that has caused a great ileal of com-
ment this season. This is Wm, Duck-
ham, Japanese incurved. This variety
has peculiar characteristics. The petals
are quite large and they build up an
enormous, symmetrical flower. Either
crown or terminal bud may be taken and
obtain good results, but I think that the
first terminal is likely the best. This
is a flat flower of about eighteen inches
on a vigorous stem of five feet. The
foliage is short, broad and crumpled.'
While it is among the early varieties, yet
it is a fine keeper. Observations have
led me to believe that this is an irreg-
iilar flower in size and quality.

Dr. Enguehard has about the same
shade as Wm. Duckham. It is closely
incurved and attains an average size of
about fifteen inches. This flower is pro-
duced best from a second crown and is
on a stem five feet long. The foliage
is long and narrow and doubled together.
A fine flower for commercial use.

Viviand-Morel is one of our old, stand-
ard pinks. It is the most beautiful of
all the deep pink chrysanthemums. It
is a rather flat, full flower of sixteen
inches and somewhat reflexed.

Autumn Glory is attracting a great
deal of attention, due to its rich pink
color, Avhich is like that of the Enchan-
tress carnation. It has the shape of
Morel and the flower is about the same
size. The st^n, five feet, produces a
large and moaerately broad foliage
which is rather crumpled. It is a mid-
seasoii variety.

Henry Barnes is a good crimson. It
is full reflexetl, about eighteen inches
in size. Its rich velvet color makes
it very attractive._ .The foliage is quite
large but deeply cut,

John Shrimpton, another deep crim-
son flower of medium size, is considered
a good commercial flower for the color.
It comes into season fairly early and
keeps well. The foliage is fairly large
and crumpled.

Next year the Department of Horti-
culture expects to have a larger collec-

tion and more of the new sorts on trial,
I think that it is quite important that
a description of the foliage should ac-
company the description of the flower
of a chrysanthemum. This could be done
by giving the comparative size of the
leaf, whether flat or crumpled, and also
telling the number of lobes the leaf has.
The cutting and the lobing of the leaves
of the many varieties are quite different.
Such a description would aid a grower
in understanding a new variety and also
help in distinguishing them from the
descriptions. This of course has to do
mostly with the chrysanthemum breeder,
Init should be looked into,

PROPAGATING.

Some of the big carnation growers
who have a large trade in rooted
cuttings are already putting in big
batches of cuttings to supply the
ever-increasing demand for early
propagated stock. A few years ago,
when carnations wore housed in Sep-
tember, a cutting that was taken out
of the sand in time to root through be-
fore planting out time was considered
as good as any. But with the early
planting practiced these days a plant
must be well established before plant-
ing out time in order to make a good
plant by the middle of July.

While it is a little early to propagate
most varieties, yet in many cases it is
well to begin as soon as you can. There
are varieties that grow slowly and need
a long growing period and if you root
them early you can have a strong plant
that has been pinched back once or pos-
sibly twice by planting out time, and
you will be sure to have strong plants
to house early. Then again you may
have some new varieties that are show-
ing up in good shape and if you want
all you can get of them for next season,
you should begin saving the cuttings
early. There will be many cuttings at
the base of the flower stems which you
must take along with the stem when
cutting the bloom. You can save many
fine cuttings this wav. There is one dis-
advantage in these very, early cuttings
and that is this: They will have to be
shifted into larger pots before planting
out time, else they will become pot-
bound and stunted. In such cases as
I have mentioned above, of course it
pays well to shift them, but if you
merely propagate for your own stock
and have plenty of stock of the varie-
ties you want to grow, there is no need
to begin so early.

Your planting out time will, of course,

depend on your climate and locality, but
if you will figure up a little, how long
it will take to root a cutting and get it
thoroughly established in whatever size
of pot you grow thorn in, you can put
in the cuttings so as to have good
strong plants in good condition. We
grow most of our young carnations in
2V2-inch pots and we find that by al-
lowing the?n about two months in the
pots and six weeks in the propagating
bench, we get them just about right.
We usually plant out about the first of
May and so we find the proper time for
us to propagate our own stock is about
the middle of January, except in such
cases as I mention above.

In working up a stock of some fine
variety don't be over-anxious to get as
many cuttings as possible, but rather
try to get as many good plants as pos-
sible, A thousand weak runts are not
near so good as a hundred fine, strong
plants when housing time comes. And
when you consider that most of the
good varieties arc propagated pretty
heavily before they reach the trade, you
can see that careful propagating is all
the more necessary to keep up the vital-
ity of the variety. A great deal can
be done along this line through the se-
lection of the cuttings.

Opinion seems to be pretty generally
settled as to the proper cutting to take,
the young shoots around the base of the
flower stems, or the young shoots that
grow after the flower shoot has been
topped back. Both of these will make
high grade stock. Avoid the side shoots
from up around the middle of the flower
stem or the young flower shoots that
have begun to lengthen out. Neither
of these will make an ideal plant and
you will be wasting time and bench
space on them, besides running down
the vitality of your stock. If you have
a fine variety that you want to increase
all you can, you can get more cuttings
by topping back all the blooming shoots
from now on. I would advise this onlv

providing the plants are in first-class
condition. If the plants show the least
sign of weakening I would advise you
to let them bloom and grow naturally
and take what cuttings you can from
the base of the flower stems. You will
gain by it in building up the strength
of the variety again to its normal con-
dition.

When taking off cuttings try to
select a uniform size as much as you
(•an and be sure they are well matured.
An extremely large cutting is not de-
sirable and the same, of course, is true
of a small and weak one. By having a
uniform, strong lot of cuttings you will
get a uniform lot of plants and nothing
is more pleasing to the eye than a fine
lot of thrifty plants, one like another,
like the peas in a pod. Don't take them
off the plants too young and soft, as
they will wilt too much, but leave them
until the base is solid and the older
leaves are solid. You can see when they
lose tliat soft young look better than I
can tell you.

When trimming them cut back the
leaves that stand outward, taking off
one-fourth to one-third of the leaf, but
never cut back the tip of young leaves
that have not spread apart. Cut the
lower end clean wnth a sharp knife. On
your propagating bench have about
three inches of sand after packing
down. Insert the cuttings about three-
quarters of an inch and about the same
distance between the cuttings in the
rows, while the rows should l)e about
one and a half to two inches apart, ac-
cording to the size of the cuttings.
Some growers crowd their cuttings as
close together as they can to save bench
room, but it is a great mistake. A cut-
ting needs room and air just the same
as a plant, csptM-ially after it begins to
form roots, and to crowd them as some
growers do causes them to draw up and
become spindly. Keep the sand clean,
so there will l)e no decaying matter
around to start fungous diseases.

Next week I will have more to say
about propagating houses and care of
cuttinys. A. F. J. Baur.

RUST.

I send you some leaves of the Cru-
sader carnation. Can you tell me what
is the matter with them and what to do
to stop it.^ None of the other varieties
is affected with it. I tried spraying
with whale oil soap a week ago, but it
is still spreading over the plants. The
soil they arc growing in is made up
with well-rotted blue grass sod and
about one-fifth cow manure, and one
inch manure under the soil and about
the same amount on top. The plants
are very thrifty and just commencing to
bloom. M. H. L.

^'oiir Crusader carnations are troubled
with the common rust. On some vari-
eties this disease does not seem to do
much harm, but last season it became
quite a serious matter with our Cru-
sader, so this season we have done all
we could to keep it off of them and
have succeeded fairly well so far. I
would advise you to pick off the af-
fected leaves, if there are not too many
of them. It is seldom wise to strip a
plant of all its leaves. Burn these
leaves, as the spores are liable to be
blown about and find lodgment some-
wiiere where the plants might be in
condition to suffer. After picking off
the leaves, dust the plants with air-
slaked lime with about half its bulk of

Carnation Hannah Hobart.

•sulphur mixed with it. Leave this on
the plants several days before syringing
it off. After syringing, when the plants
have dried off, repeat the dusting. Keep
the plants growing steadily and you
will find that they will grow out of it in
time. When syringing, do it early
enough in the day, so that the plants
will dry off well before night, (.rape
dust is also excellent to dust on the
plants. Whale oil sonp is no good for
this disease. A. F. J. Baur.

liiit'rally, will lie trouliled less than
when they are pushed too much during
the winter months. (Jive them plenty of
;iir, run a little heat every night and'
paint one of the steam pipes with lime
and sulphur in equal portions, mixed
with enough Avater to make a thick
))aint. Sometimes these spots are caused
'ly aphis, so get some tobacco extract
and spray them regularly to keep the
aphis down. A.'F. J. Baur.

BACTERIA AND APHIS.

T enclose some I'-aves taken from our
carnations. Will you kindly explain in
your next issue what causes tlie spots
on the leaves, and the cure for them.'

J. T.

Your carnations have a ])retty bnd
dose of bacteria. Since J do not kn<»w
what varieties you picked these leaves
from, I cannot say whether it is alto-
gether your fault or not. There are
some varieties, like Flora Hill, which
show these spots to some extent every
winter and it depends on the culture
whether or not they will become serious
enough to really injure the plant. Our
experience has been that when thev
are kept in check fairly well, the plant
does not seem to suffer much and to-
ward spring it grows entirely out of it.
However, if it is allowed to get too bad
it will seriously weaken the plant and
in a few years the variety will break
down or run out, as it is often called.

You will find that varieties which are
subject to this disease, if they are kept
a little on the dry side and not fed too

THE VERSATILE FLORIST.

The average florist, unless he is the
possesor of a bulging bank account, and
so can say to another, a carpenter or a
plumber, for instance, "Do this," and
he does it, must be capable of doing
many things himself.

He must be able to build a green-

house, to lay brick, to do plumbing and
steam-fitting, to butt in and set glass,
to grow good plants and sell them, to
arrange a tasteful decoration, on three
minutes' notice, to make out bills, and
collect them, and to give sensible advice
on divers subjects, to all sorts of people.
We have always been ready, willing
and able, to mark a card neatly, but re-
cently one of our patrons gave me an
order for some chrysanthemums, to be
sent to his wife on her birthday, and
when I asked him if we shouM send his
card, or any complimentary communica-
tion with the flowers, he said, jokingly,
that we might send a little poetry with
them.

I knew his wife, and her name, and
partly as a joke on my part, I hatched
and sent the following couplet on his
card:

Fair Margaret, to you, my pet.
Come many happy birthdays yet.

Meeting the lady a few days after, I
asked if I had gotten her husband into
trouble ; but she said I had not, and that
she appreciated my poetry very much.
Think of it, she not only appreciated it
but called it poetry. W. T. Bell.

CUTTING THE BLOOMS.

Care should be taken when cutting
the blooms to leave the most suitable
eyes to provide stems for the future
crop. During the winter, and especially
during holiday season, when every inch
of a stem means a higher price, there is
ii strong temptation to cut low in order
to get this longer stem. This, of course,
considerably enhances the value of that
particular crop, but at what a price!
The next crop must of necessity be lon-
ger in coming tq maturity and the
chances are that it will be of an in-
ferior grade.

The operation of cutting should never
be done in a hurried manner, nor
should any carelessness be tolerated, as
this is a certain way to decrease the cut
in quantity and also to lower the
quality.

The practice of cutting by lamplight
during the early hours of the morning
leads to the same result. Under such
conditions it is almost impossible for
even the most careful and experienced
to select the proper eye at which to cut.

If there were any real necessity for
this practice it might, even with all its
attendant evils, be tolerated, but it is
surely against the best interests of the
trade to pack and ship this hurried cut
immediately it is taken in order to get

it into market the same morning, witli-
out giving it any more preparation
than a dip in water for a few minutes.

Storing the Blooms.

As soon as possible after the cut is
taken, and before the wound has had
time to dry, the stems should be deeply
immersed in water at a temperature not
to exceed the temperature of the house
from which they were cut, nor yet so
low as to approach 41 degrees. They
should then be placed in a room and
partly excluded from the light. This
room should be at a temperature of
from 48 to 52 degrees.

The most satisfactory shipments are
those made from stock which has been
treated in this manner for at least ten
hours. If they are not shipped in
twenty-four hours they should be reas-
sorted and have the water changed.
After being in the cooler for thirty-six
hours the conscientious grower will re-
fuse to ship them to his customers.

Every year we hear the same com-
plaints from retailers and commission
men, who, during the holiday season, re-
ceive large consignments of pickled
stock from the growers. The damage
done to the trade by such transactions
is incalculable, besides destroying the
confidence and friendship which ought
to cxiiit among the craft.

Packing.

The greatest care should be exercised
in packing, so that the necks may not
get broken or the petals bruised.
. The use of clean boxes and clean

paper, especially next the buds, gives
the flowers a much fresher appearance
than if soiled paper or newspaper be
the material used.

The wrappings should always be
abundant and sufficient to withstand
severe frost.

The addresses and routing instruc-
tion should be plain and legible, as the
expressmen have usually sufficient
troubles of their own and are not usu-
ally experts at hieroglyphics.

By attending to these matters, which
we should do if we wish for the pros-
perity of our customers, which is iden-
tical with our own, we will please the
majority of them and have a clear con-
science, which is a great reward in
itself. RiBES.

TOO DRY.

I am sending you, under separate
cover, two diseased rose plants, one a
young plant, the other an old one. They
seemed to grow nicely for awhile; then
the new leaves turned yellow and
wilted; then the stem did likewise. I
think the trouble is in the roots, but
cannot locate the cause. The soil is a
good, heavy loam. The plants have
had plenty of ventilation and kept a
little on the dry side; never have been
too wet to cause the ground to sour.
Would a spray of whale oil soap or
other similar solutions be injurious to
roses and mums affected with aphis?
I have been using tobacco stems, but it
is not effective enough. I do not care
to use nicotine extracts unless com-
pelled to, as I have plenty of tobacco
stems and whale oil soap. E. E. C.

These specimens reached me in very
poor shape; in fact, one of the speci-
mens must have been dead a very long
time and was therefore entirely useless
for diagnosis. The other specimen pos-
sessed no leaves and very little wood,
which also makes an examination
rather unsatisfactory.

From what evidence I had there was
every appearance that the plants had
suffered from want of water, never
having had enough even to sustain the
foliage. They are also slightly af-
fected with eel-worms, but not to the
extent of killing the plants.

The fumes from tobacco stems, if
properly applied, are bound to be ef-
fective so f.'ir as aphis is concerned, as
no aphis can exist in a house which is
periodically and systematically sub-
jected to these fumes.

Whale oil soap, if not used to excess,
will have no injurious effect on roses,
but roses are grown yearly by the mil-
lion, and good roses too, and which
never even get a smell of it.

Keep the night temperature as near
56 degrees as possible and with a small
crack of ventilation on to keep the air
sweet whenever the weather will per-
mit, and allow the temperature to run
up to 75 degrees during the day, when
the sun is shining.

See that the soil is thoroughly mois-
tened throughout and not wet on the
surface only, and do not attempt to
feed in any manner until the plants
have regained their health. Kibes.

span and eleven feet to the ridge, plant-
ed to Bride and Maid. The benches are
six feet wide, divided in the middle by
a corridor running through the house
from the office. The two benches in the
east end of the house are twenty-eight :
inches high, also the south bench in the
west end, but the north bench in the
west end is forty-eight inches high. The
two benches in the east end, the north ;
one planted with Maids and the south
one with Brides, and the south bench in
west end are all affected alike, appar-
ently from salt water, but the north
bench on the west end, planted with
Bridesmaid, is in good condition. It is
the one forty-eight itiches high. Now, all
these benches have had the same treat-
ment throughout. All the east and front
part of the house is exposed to a coun-
try three miles away with 150 oil wells
on it and the paint on the house has all
turned black with oil gas. Now, the case
is new with the writer but it suggests to
me that the oil gas has formed a part in
the early fall, before tlie regular firing
started, in the destruction of the roses.
Were the salt water all at fault it would
have served all four benches alike. Could
it be possible that tlie gas would accu-
mulate and affect those lower benches
and escape the one that is higher and
has a better circulation? B. B.

Mr. Gasser has been a resident of
Cleveland during nearly his entire life.
He is a native of Switzerland, but when
he was only a child his parents emigrated
to the United States, locating in the
Forest City m 18.54. While his boyhood
days were passed amid surroundings and
under circumstances which narrowly lim-
ited his opportunities for securing au
education, ho has not neglected the culti-
vation of his mind, but improved it by

reading, traveling and experimenting,
and, being possessed of more than ordi-
nary faculties, he has acquired a rich
fund of information on general subjects
far in advance of many men who in youth
had the advantage of good schools and
colleges. Mr, Gasser began at the bot-
tom, and year after year has mounted
the ladder until he now stands close to
the topmost rung; and this success has
been brought about only through his
business ability, industry and integrity.
Today he is regarded as one of Cleve-
land 's most successful business men.

In 1861, when he was 19 years of age,
he enlisted and served loyally in the war
of the rebellion, as a member of Com-
pany B, Seventh Ohio Volunteer Infan-
try, serving in the ranks until 1864,
when he received honorable discharge.
He participated in many of the princi-
pal battles of the war and was wounded
in the left arm and side, March 2^, 1862,
at Winchester, being incapacitated for
service for some time.

In 187Ji, he made his first business
venture on his own responsibility, open-
ing a stationery and candy store, which
he carried on for six years, gradually
drifting into the line of enterprise to
which he has now devoted his entire
attention for more than a quarter of a
century. The start was one of the mod-
est order. Flowers sent in weekly as a
gift from Mrs. Gasser 's mother's garden
to beautify the window and soda foun-
tain were a great attraction. Customers
admired and wanted them. Mr. Gasser,
being of a generous disposition, gave a
few blossoms with each purchase. Soon
the demand became so great that a small
sum wa.s charged for tlie flowers. This
proved very satisfactory and the business
continued to grow. To one familiar with
its present large jtroportions the early
vicissitudes arc very amusing, but at
the time the troubles were real enough.
As related by one closely identified with
the work, ' ' The flowers were tied up in
25-cent and 50-cent bouquets, with a
home-made paper holder thrown in. The

MR. GASSER, OF CLEVELAND.

In flower growing, so much is to be
learned by seeing how the other fellow-
does it that the most progressive people
are great travelers, none of them more
indefatigable than J. M. Gasser, than
who few of our trade are more widely
known. Let the word but go out that, at
a certain place a special crop is done
particularly well and, it matters little
where it is, it will not be long before Mr.
Gasser will drop in to "have a look"
and repay his host out of the store of
his long experience.

The Weekly Florists' Review^

NOVKMBER 30, 1905.

best part of the bouquet was jjiduihI
pine and broom splints, the Howers being
.short-stemmed, ])rijiiroses, tiu-iisias. ge-
raniums and other sliort stuff. A plate
of boutonnieres was always on the coun-
ter jit 5 cents each.

' ' The first funeral design, a wreatli, was
constructed of twigs cut from shrubs
formed on a hoop from a tub, the flowers
and green tied on. For this a ciuirgc of
$1 was made when the design was called
for. The lady was so well jdeased that
she gave $1.50, saying tliat $1 was not
enougli for it. When short of Howers at
a time when he liad what lie would call
a large order, a wreath, anchor or cross
and star, the whole amounting to per-
haps .to, Mrs. (iasser would come to the
rescue. Knowing the art of making wax
flowers she would hurriedly inake uj) the
larger flowers, such as callas, camellias
and tuberoses. Customers were so
pleased with them that they would
frequently come back after two and
three weeks to tell how well they kept.
Then Mr. Gasser would explain. The
abutilon also had to fill in double space
bv being turned inside out, turning back
the petals and jiinchiiig out the column
of stamens and substituting a little
double ininnose dr;(wn through with
wire. People wondered what flower it
was. And so they mana-uvred in all sorts
of ways to fill the orders."

By careful mettiods and perseverance,
the business was developed and the range
of operations extended until the enter-
prise became one of the most extensive
of its kind in the state.

A few years ago, it being necessary to
rebuild the plant and provide room for
further growth, the greenhouses were re-
moved to Rocky River, about nine miles

from the city, where there is approxi-
mately 200,000 feet of glass, combining
all the latest improvements, for in Mr.
Ciasser's travels he has taken shrewd in-
ventory of the value of every new
wrinkle in greenhouse building and has
been quick to adopt, at little thought of
expense, any which appealed to him as
in the line of practical improvement.
The city store is at 232-234 Euclid ave-
nue, where both a wholesale and retail
business is conducted.

THE EDELWEISS.

The sentimental association of the
shamrock makes it a valuable specialty
for florists to handle, and next to it in
interest for the public comes, probably,
the edelweiss. There has long been a
too general impression that the edel-
weiss cannot be grown successfully in
this country, but it is nevertheless to
be found in quite a number of rock-
eries, one of the accompanying illustra-
tions showing the plant in the rock
garden at Lincoln park, Chicago, where
it attracted a constant stream of vis-
itors when in flower last spring. The
other picture shows a single plant in a
pot.

Alois Frey, head gardener at the
park, is like the edelweiss, a native of
Switzerland, and it was from the Alps
that he obtained the seeds from which
these plants came. The seeds are, how-
ever, obtainable from many seedsmen.
It is necessary to sow the seeds early,
say in February, in shallow pans or
small pots of light soil. Keep cool and
moist and prick off as soon as large
enough, finally planting out in the rock
garden, where they flower well the

second year but are then apt to die out.
They will endure full exposure to the
sun.

The plant is thickly covered by a
whitish wool, the conspicuous part be-
ing the woolly leaves which form a star-
like cluster around the true flower,
which is small, yellow and unattractive.
The plant is considered an emblem of
purity. Botanically it is Gnaphalium
Leontopodium, although modern writers
have found a small variation in the
style which causes them to put it in
another genus and call it Leontopodium
alpinum.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE.

The history of this Department's
growth during the past eight years may
be epitomized in the statement that the
appropriations for its use have increas-
ed from $2,500,000 in 1897 to consider-
ably over $6,000,000 in 1905, and that
this increase in appropriations has been
accompanied by a much greater increase
in the amount of work done. Not only
has the work of the Department been
vastly augmented, but its scope has been
correspondingly broadened and its prac-
tical value heightened.

Another interesting evidence of the
growth of the Department during the
past eight years is afforded by the re<'-
ords of the appointment clerk's office.
These show that the total number of per-
sons on the rolls of the Department of
Agriculture July 1, 1905, was 5,446. Of
this number those rated as scientists and
scientific assistants numbered 2,326. On
July 1, 1897, the total number of per-
sons on the rolls of the Department was
2,443, of which number those rated as
scientists and scientific assistants num-
bered 925. These figures show an in-
crease in the total force during these
eight years of 3,003 persons, while the
increase in the number of those rated as
scientists and scientific assistants was
1,401.

Plant investigations have been a fea-
ture of the Department 's work since its
establishment, although the organization
of the Bureau of Plant Industrv was
not effected till July 1, 1901. It con-
sists now of eleven offices, each of which
is charged with the handling of a group
of important plant problems. The work
is carried on by 508 employees, about
sixty per cent of whom are engaged in
scientific work.

In the organic law which created this
Department it was made the duty of the
head of the Department to diffuse just
as much as to acquire information of
value to agriculture.

Under the circumstances it is not sur-
prising to find that whereas in 1897 the
total number of publications was 424.
in 1905 the total number was 1,072, and
whereas in 1897 the number of printed
pages of original matter was 11,715, in
1905 the number of printed pages of
original matter was 20,000. — Secretary
Wilson in his annual report.

Columbus, O. — In these days when
the whole United States is the field in
which the cut flower shipper operates,
the Livingston Seed Co. points with
pride to the success which attended a
recent shipment of cut chrysanthemums
to Seattle, Washington, a distance of
2,500 miles. Kach bloom was wrapped
in tissue and eacli stem where cut was
wadded in damp moss wrapped in
waxed paper.

TIMELY REMINDERS.

Summer Flowering Bulbs.

The majority of florists doing a retail
business handle some gloxinias with
profit. See to it that the pots containing
bulbs of these are not thrown under
some bench to mold. Probably you have
a shelf in some shed where a minimum
temperature of 50 to .55 degrees is main-
tained. Such a place will suit gloxinias
nicely. If you need the pots, turn them
out into boxes without breaking the
balls. 1 f you grow achimines treat them
similarly. Tuberous-rooted begonias
should now be resting. They require
cooler quarters than gloxinais. If quite
dry they will not mind a temperature of
40 degrees. When throughly ripened off
you can pick out the tubers and pack
them in sawdust or any other dry mate-
rial.

Poinsettias.

One of the best selling plants in ppts
or pans at Christmas is the brilliant
poinsettia. The bracts on these are now
becoming quite sizable. Presuming that
the pots are well filled with roots they
will need occasional doses of liquid
manure to give size to the bracts. Add
a little soot to the liquid to keep the
leaves a beautiful dark green color. Use
extreme care in watering; too little or
too much will be quickly followed by a
yellowing of the foliage. Poinsettias
need a temperature of 60 degrees at
night to grow them well at this season.
Do not be tempted to move them into
cooler quarters as the bracts are devel-
oping or results will be disastrous.
See that those growing in benches are
staked securely. If proi)erly treated
these should give bracts eighteen to
twenty-four inches across. Do not allow
the shoots to become bent or half their
value is gone.

Chinese Primroses.

Tlirre is always a considerable sale for

these pretty little plants during the ear-
ly winter months. If well grown nothing
makes a nicer Christmas gift for those
with moderate means. It will pay the
up-to-date retailer to buy a good strain
of these and to buy one or two decided
colors, such as scarlet, pink, white and
blue rather than to invest in a cheap,
thrashy mixture which will contain many
unsalable colors. Plants of the better
strains will always sell on sight. The
plants should now be on shelves or
benches in a light, airy structure and
lightly shaded from the mid-day sun.
Water with care. Use the watering pot
instead of the hose. A little weak liquid
manure once in four or five days will
tone them up. If any of the plants are
shaky from too high potting, support
with one or two little forked sticks.

Berried Plants.

Celestial peppers have attained a cer-
tain favor during the past few years. We
do not know why, for we have never ad-
mired them; still what the public de-
mands we must needs grow. A cool
house will suit these very well, as also
Solanum capsicastrum, which should now
have most of its fruit colored. We pre-
fer seedling plants of the latter to those
raised from cuttings. They do not ripen
so soon, but make more shapely plants.

Ardisia crenulata is always in de-
mand. As it takes several years to pro-
duce salable stock it is not seen so much
as the other berried stock. If you have
a crop of berries ripe on any old and
unshapely plants, sow them right away
in heat. You will get no returns for a
year or two but they will pay you well
in the end.

Genistas, Acacias, etc.

If these arc not wanted in bloom until
Easter, give them a further clipping
back. Keep them as cool as possible;
clear of freezing is all that is needed.
Be sure they are not allowed to become
dry at the root. Acacias are usually in
best demand at Easter and it will, there-

fore, be necessary to hold them as cold
as possible during the winter. A sunken
pit or north house where very little fire
heat is used is all right. Ericas need
similar treatment and must above all
things never get dry at the root.

Mignonette*

Presuming that seed was sown late in
August, the plants should now be produc-
ing good spikes. Avoid too high a tem-
perature or the results will be ruinous.
This crop does best where a night reading
of 40 to 45 degrees is kept. If the
benches are becoming well filled with
roots give a mulching of well rottccl and
pulverized cow manure. Avoid chemicals
at this season. There are diverse opin-
ions as to the best supports for mignon-
ette. Some use wires and cross strings
as for carnations; others pieces of birch
brush stuck in here and there, and some
nothing at all. We prefer the birdi our-
selves and find it answers very well.

Antirrhinums.

Most of the benches are now clear of
chrysanthemums and there is a chance
for some other crops to come along. One
of the most useful is the persistent flow-
ering snapdragon. If cuttings were
rooted in late summer and are now in
3-inch or 4-inch pots tliey will soon give
a crop of bloom if planted out. No need
to empty the benches and replace with
new compost. Throw out the remaining
chrysanthemum stock plants. (iive a
coating of rotted manure, turn it over
and plant in your stock at least a foot
apart each way. There are now some
very excellent strains of antirrhinums.
A mixture is hardly to be desired, but
yellow, white and pink shades will alway.s
sell, while there is a limited call for red.
Better to raise your stock from cuttings
once you have a good strain. Seedlings
are liable to come mixed, even though
bought as one decided shade. A temper-
ature of 50 degrees at night suits them,
and disbud the slioots to secure better
spikes.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

NOVEMBKU 30, 1905.

Establishment of the Clinton Falls Nursery Co., Owatonna, Minn.

Stevia.

This very useful flower is of especial
value when the chrysanthemum season is
over. For mixed bouquets and in funeral
sprays or designs it is of great service.
A succession of it can readily be had
until the beginning of February by
keeping the plants in a house just clear
of frost. Do not allow them to drop
below 32 degrees or the foliage will be
ruined. Bring a few flats or pots into a
slightly warmer house as you need them,
always remembering that later in the
season it will be more valuable.

Cypripedium Insigne.

Tf there is one orchid valuable more
than any other to the average florist it
is the good old Cypripedium insigne. It
grows well in summer, even in a shady
spot outdoors. It is very modest in its
requirements indoors and invariably gives
at this season a liberal crop of flowers,
which, if not needed now, are just as
good two or three months hence if left
on the plant. It grows well, either in
rough sod mixed with charcoal or in na-
tive fern fibre. It needs pulling apart
when done flowering if it is becoming
too matted. It increases surprisingly
and any florist who possesses a bench of
it has something that he can always get
a purchaser for. The plants do not need
a warm house; 45 degrees at night is
enough. Keep them moderately dry at
the root while in bloom. These cultural
notes may not meet the approval of or-
chid experts, but they answer very well,
we find, for a hard working retail florist.

The nursery department of the Clin-
ton Falls Nursery Co. is one of the
largest in the state, built up from a
very small beginning by Thos. E. Cash-
man, president of the company, until
now the firm has a paid up capital
of $150,000, employing a large force
on the grounds, growing hardy trees
and shrubs for northern trade, and 150
salesmen on the road selling this stock
to northern tree planters. Some idea of
the business done can be gained from the
fact that they are at present engaged
in getting out for fall delivery orders
to the amount of $137,000 and already
have on file for delivery in the spring
of 1906, orders amounting to $40,000.

The buildings of the Clinton Falls
Nursery Co., including offices, storage
building, root cellar, packing sheds,
greenhouses and barns, are all within
the corporate limits of the city of
Owatonna, as is also 125 acres of their
nursery land. The remainder of the
land, comprising 158 acres, is within
j three and one-half miles of the nursery
and accessible by good gravel roads.

Owatonna is a city of about 7,000 in-
habitants, situated seventy miles from
St. Paul. It has first-class shipping
facilities, having three railroads with
good train service. Mr. Cashman is a
young man with marked business abil-
ity and a thorough knowledge of the
nursery business. He has the honor of
having been twice elected mayor of
Owatonna. The other officers are M.
R. Cashman, vice-president; W. H.
Hart, secretary; J. R. Laughlin, treas-
urer, and J. A. Cieszinski, cashier.

A MINNESOTA PLANT.

About eighteen months ago the Clin-
ton Falls Nursery Co., Owatonna,
Minn., added a greenhouse department
and erected one of the most modern
plants in the northwest. Their houses
at present contain over 30,000 feet of
glass, equipped with tile benches, each
house easily accessible from the work-
rooms and all electric lighted, with
lights hanging fifteen feet apart from
the ridges. The principal crops grown
are roses, carnations and smilax, with
a liberal line of miscellaneous plants.
A general local trade is done, while
funeral designs for outside towns are
a specialty. The surplus is all disposed
of in St. Paul and Minneapolis.

RETAIL ADVERTISING.

The managers of the great circuses
that tour the country, and there are no
shrewder advertisers, say that it no
longer pays to cover the countryside
with the gaudj' lithographs that were
the wonder and admiration of our
youth; they say that nowadays the one
really effective way of reaching the
great masses of the people is through
the newspapers.

Florists, especially the retailers, are
proverbially slow to take advantage of
the opportunities of advertising; they
do not employ the newspapers nearly
so freely as do those in other lines of
merchandising. For the purpose of
showing what various ones are doing in

the way of local advertising a number
of newspaper advertisements are repro-
duced on the opposite page of this issue
of the Review. These are not offered
as examples of good advertising, al-
though they are considered the best of
a large number received. Too many of
them are too much like the average busi-
ness card to be really first-class adver-
tising, still there are a number of them
which are good enough to be worth hold-
ing in mind for the suggestion they
contain for use in one's own advertise-
ment.

Most of these advertisements occupy
much smaller space than a dealer in any
other; line would think he needed to do
an equal volume of business. Of course
in large cities newspaper space is ex-
pensive, but it doesn't cost much in
country dailies and still less in the week-
lies; still space is all too valuable to
devote to the stereotyped business card.
Of course the publisher likes the card;
all is grist that comes to his mill, and a
small grist is better than none. But he
will like the order all the better if it
calls for enough space to contain a
little "talk" on seasonable topics, or
a priced special offer now and then. And
he will be willing, even anxious, to have
you change the matter in your space at
least every few issues, for he realizes
that this is the way to get best results,
the results which will make you a con-
tinuous advertiser and a user of larger
space.

The successful advertising of a flower
store is not so different from advertis-
ing any other kind of a store, except
that you have so many more and so
much more interesting things to write
about.

showini: what varioiiv oiie^ aic doing iti

the way of local advert isiiie a number
oi newspaper advertisements are repro-
ducO(l on the opposite i)a<j;e of this issue
of the Keview. Those are not offered
as exami)les of good atlvertising, al-
though they are considered the best of
a large number r.'ceived. Too many of
them are too nuicli like the average busi-
ness card to be really first -class adver-
tising, still there are ;i number of them
which arc good enough to bo worth hold-
ing in mind for the suggestion they
(•(uitain for use in one's own advertise-
ment.

.Most of these advertisements occupy
inucii smaller space than a ilealer in any
othm- line would think he needed to do
an equal v(dume of Viiisiiiess. Of course
in large cities ninvspaper sjiace is ex-
l)ensive. but it doesn't cost much in
country dailies :ind still I ss in the week-
lies; still space is all too valuable to
devot(> to the stereotyped business card.
Of course the publishei lik s the card;
.all is grist that conies tn his mill, and a
small grist is better than none. T'>ut he
will like the onler all the better if it
calU for emnigh s|pace to (contain a
little ''talk" on seasonable toidcs, or
•a priced special ofl'er now and then. And
he will be willing, even .inxious. to have
you change the matter in your space at
least every f?w is-iies. for he realizes
that this is the way to ;^et liest results,
the results which will make you .a con-
tinuous advertiser .and .a user of larger
-pace.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

NOVEMBEIl 30, 1905.

Showing a Few of the Uses for the New Adjustable Baskets.

AN ADJUSTABLE BASKET.

In these strenuous days the demand is
ever for novelty and anything possessing
the merit of newness is sure to be taken
up; for its retention by the trade it
must depend on its other qualities. The
latest novelty in the supply line is the
adjustable basket shown in the accom-
panying illustrations. It is said by those
who have used it to be one of the most
useful baskets ever brought out. It can
be pressed into any shape desired, will
cover fibre or glass vases filled with cut
flowers, or cover pots up to an 8-inch
size, also cover fern pans or rose bowls,
being especially useful for table decora-
tions. They can be used also for the
bride or bridesmaid to carry at wed-
dings; they can be adapted to go with
any color or size of flower, from the
long-stemmed American Beauty or chrys-
anthemum, to the lily of the valley or
violets; in fact, the uses are too numer-
ous to mention. In a moment you can
press them into any shape desired. They
are made in a variety of colors, to match
the different colors of flowers or to form
a contrast. As shown by the illustration,
when ribbon or chiffon is used in connec-
tion with these adjustable baskets, the
effect is most pleasing. M. Kice & Co.,
Philadelphia, who are the introducers,
report that this is one of the catchiest
novelties they have ever got hold of;
everybody buys at sight.

BOSTON.

The Market.

Weather conditions during the past
week have reminded one more of June
than November, shade temperatures of
65 and 70 degrees being recorded. We
do not remember any previous Novem-
ber when we had such clear skies and so
little rain and cloudy weather. While we
are now getting it cooler, the weather
favors a big Thanksgiving crop of flow-
ers. Chrysanthemums are now nearing
the end and will not cut much of a figure
in the market after this week. Bonnaf-
fon, Merry Christmas, Yanoma, Maud
Dean and Mrs. Jerome Jones are mostly
seen, also some of the old Minnie Wana-
maker. Nothing has yet been raised in
chrysanthemums to surpass Mrs. Jerome
Jones. It is a special favorite here
and certainly in stem, foliage and flower
is well nigh perfect. It is also a splen-
did keeper in water, to say nothing of
its excellent shipping qualities. In addi-
tion to the yellow and white forms, some
of a delicate pink color are seen which
are very beautiful. Bed varieties, such

as CuUingfordii, sold well for the foot-
ball game on November 25.

Roses are still too numerous. Espe-
cially is this true of Brides and Maids
and little advance on these for Thanks-
giving is likely. Beauties of the better
grades show a hardening tendency, also
Liberty and Richmond. The last named
promises to be a prime favorite another
season and will displace Liberty to a
large extent. Wellesley, Killarney and
Chatenay are all selling very well. A
few Bon Silene and Safrano are seen in
the market.

Carnations are selling very well except
whites, which continue rather too plenti-
ful. Fancies are making $3 to $5, some
even higher. Good ordinary blooms
bring $1.50 to $2. Violets sold heavily
for the Harvard-Yale game and went as
high as $1.50. Present prices are 75
cents to $].2o. Quality is remarkably
good. Quite a little bulbous stock, stevia
and bouvardia is coming in. Cattleyas
are becoming scarce, but Cypripedium
insigne comes from several growers, mak-
ing $8 to $12 per hundred. Lily of the
valley still sells well and there is an im-
proving demand for asparagus and other
green stock.

Club Meeting.

At the meeting on November 21, al-
ready referred to, thirteen new members
were elected, bringing the membership
to 240. Prof. B. M. Watson 's lecture on
"Botany for Young Gardeners" was
most interesting. While admitting that
excellent gardeners without any knowl-
edge of botany were numerous, he
claimed that a study of it would be of
great help to tliem. "How can one be-
come a good gardener or florist who does
not know the rudimentary principles of
his trade? It is true that none of us are
botanists and true that many of us have
never studied botany from books, but it
is also true from any point of view that
no one can grow plants intelligently for
even a short series of years without
learning in the best way possible, that
is from the plants themselves, a lot of
botany," In the discussion which fol-
lowed E. O. Orpet spoke vigorously
against the idea that botany was neces-
sary or of any advantage to the practical
grower. He commented in caustic terms
on the constant changing of the scientific
names of plants by botanists and in-
stanced the New York Botanical Gardens
at Bronx park as a delightful example
of the work of the botanist gardener.
Messrs. Westwood, Elliott, Finlayson and
others continued the discussion, some
favoring and others opposing the lectur-
er's views.

M. A. Patten, who had been chosen by
the nominating committee for president
for 1905, did not care for the office and
finally James Wheeler was re-elected by
a handsome vote. He made a neat
speech and predicted great prosperity for
the club in the coming year. T. H. West-
wood, who was chosen vice-president,
filled the same post in 1904. The ques-
tion box was largely availed of, numer-
ous queries being asked and answered.

Exhibits were quite numerous and in-
cluded fine Wellesley roses from Waban
Conservatories, excellent Bridesmaid roses
from Montrose Greenhouses, Mikado and
Pink Patten carnations from Patten &
Co., Lawson varieties from H. A. Stevens
Co., seedling carnations and Enchantress
sport from Backer & Co., mignonette
from Wm. Nicholson, Pancratium elegans
from James Wheeler, seedling carnation
No. 408, a fine commercial scarlet, from
Peter Fisher and the compact and hand-
some Nephrolepis Whitmani from H. H.
Barrows & Son.

With Whitman Growers.

A. A, Reed is one of the few commer-
cial growers of orchids in the neighbor-
hood of Boston. While not a large
grower, he is an enthusiast and a very
successful cultivator. Dendrobium for-
mosum giganteum and D. phala^nopsis
Schroederiana were flowering well at the
time of our visit. A fine lot of Zygo-
petalum Mackayi were carrving excellent
spikes. Cattleya TrianaB was representpd
by a fine lot of plants, some of which
were almost in bloom. A variety of other
cattleyas are also grown, also Dendro-
bium Wardianum and D. nobile, Cypri-
pedium insigne, Lycaste Skinneri and
Vanda csrulea. A general assortment of
other florists' stock, such as carnations,
violets, chrysanthemums, etc., are also
grown here.

At H. H. Barrows & Son's establish-
ment we found the growing demands of
the firm illustrated by two new houses,
each 125 feet long. Nothing but nephro-
lepis ferns are handled here, but these
are grown in thousands. Four varieties
are to be seen only, N. Scottii, Boston-
iensis. Barrowsii and the new Whitmani.
We were chiefly interested in the last
named, which has created such a favor-
able impression whenever shown. From
one original plant in January last there
is now quite a large span-roofed house
filled with various sizes of plants, some
quite large. We looked these over very
carefully for any signs of reversion and
failed to find such. Mr. Barrows' son
says they have never found a single
frond not true to the type. We consider
it superior in many ways to N. Bar-

rowsii. Its compact habit will commend
it to many and we predict a big sale for
it when it is placed on the market, in
April, 1906.

N. Barrowsii, which occasionally re-
verts, is still a prime favorite and orders
are being constantly sent all over the
country. N. Scotti is well liked, but takes
longer to grow into a presentable plant
than the other sorts. N. Bostoniensis is
still in considerable request. The new
N. Whitmani seems to be more easily
propagated than even the common Bos-
ton fern, ju^^ing by the great number of
runners the plants were producing in the
benches.

Various Notes.

Some splendid Lorraine begonias are
seen at the stores at presnt. T. Eoland,
W. W. Edgar and Farquhar & Co. are
the principal growers of these.

Joseph Free is the new manager at the
Park street flower market. Joe is a good
boy. He has had a fine training under
John "Walsh and we feel sure will prove
the right man in the right place.

At the club meeting on December 19,
when ladies will be present, an attend-
ance of over 200 is expected.

ber of the Massachusetts Horticultural

The Market

Business continues fair, but there is
nothing exciting about it. The demand
is well distributed among the various
lines and all of the stores are getting
their share. Chrysanthemums are not
quite so plentiful and the price is ad-
vancing slightly. Medium and large
blooms sell well; white goes especially
well. Small mums in bunches for work
are in demand now and the supply is
not so heav3'.

Carnations are in fair supply, with
prices averaging good. Roses are in
heavy supply and sell only fairly well.
Some very fine stock is being received
but does not bring what it is worth.
Short-stemmed buds are almost a glut
and go at job-lot prices. Violets con-
tinue scarce and the price has advanced.
Valley and lilies of all kinds are in de-
mand. Other miscellaneous stock is sell-
ing well. Greens are going nicely.

As Thanksgiving approached advance
orders were numerous and prices ad-

vanced slightly, but Thanksgiving is
not a time of very high prices and the
wiser ones did not ask too much.

Various Notes.

T. W. Hardesty had an order for
10,000 violets and had a pretty hard
time getting them together.

variegated sports of Enchantress. E.
Fischer, Great Neck, L. I., sent Abun-
dance. Every one of the exhibits was
good and it made a splendid carnation
show, better than seen at some of the
big fall shows.

Local exhibits were staged as follows:

Frank McGowan, Utica — Vases of M.
A. Patten, Enchantress and The Queen.

L. F. Goddard & Bro., Clark Mills-

After giving the major part of the
evening to discussion and criticisms of
the blooms the club sat down to a ban-
quet.

TOO LONG PIPES.

I have two houses in which hot water
is used and in which I do not get
enough heat. I have a large boiler and
the houses iire not large, a 4-inch flow
supplies two 2-inch mains, one to the
east and west house and one to the north
au'l south house. In each house the high-
est point i& at the far end and there is a
gradual fall all through the coils, all
but one cf which are made up with re-
turn bends. These coils do not heat up
as they sh<;uk1'. The enclosed sketch may
show you a little plainer how the piping
is am-i.ged. What is the trouble?

Here is my renewal; I have not had
the Review for some time, but I cannot

V/irhout going very deeply into your
plnn of piping, I am surprised that you
iue able tc get any of the pipes hot
^\hich are arranged with return bends. In
one the water must travel nearly 300
feet, while in another it must go 500
feet. If instead of the return bends
you use manifold tees the water will
only be required to travel the length of
the flow and the length of the return to
the boiler, or in this case about one-third
of the distance it must now travel. Runs
of pipe over 100 feet in length are to be
avoided in hot water heating. If you
were to use steam your present plan
would undoubtedly answer, but with hot
water replace the return bends by mani-
folds as soon as practicable. The circu-
lation will probably be quick and the
pipes made effective. L. C. C.

The best scarlet carnation — requires only ordinary culture

NEV YORK.

The Market

The market during the past week was
as dull as the weather was beautiful.
At this season of the year the two do
not harmonize. The praying for frost
goes on incessantly, with better pros-
pects for an answer as December ap-
proaches.

Mums are lessening rapidly. Thanks-
giving and then good-bye. They have
made a great record this year. Prices
always reasonable, popularity growing,
quality superb. There are too many
roses, especially Maids and Brides, often
unsalable because of their numbers.
Quality is the best. Richmond and Lib-
erty are always in demand and increasing
in price as the stems lengthen. Violets
are steady and no prospect of great ad-
vancement during the coming season,
$1.50 looking like top. Valley, gardenias
and orchids are firm and the best always
in demand.

With the Retailers.

Business must be quite good "in the
heart of New York City." I noticed
Mr. Bowe, with his own Victoria, coach-
man and footman riding in Central park
the other day and it was hard to distin-
guish him from the millionaires. Mr.
Bowe had two notable weddings last
week, one the Benedict wedding at the
Dakota, with appropriate colors in roses
for the white, pink and red rooms; the
other the daughter of "Farmer Scott,"
the sage of Elmhurst.

All the retailers seem to be busy and
contented, now that dinners are "the
thing" and the opera season is in full
swing. Thanksgiving, too, is here with
its added benediction and every table
will have holly and red roses.

At the Battenburg dinner, Leikens
"did himself proud" with an American
Beauty decoration, over 700 specials be-
ing used in the display.

In Brooklyn.

The widening of Livingston street in
Brooklyn will make the moving of Wm.
H. Kuebler necessary. Notice of this
and a week of jury duty illustrate the
old adage that ' * troubles never come
singly." Kuebler has built up a nice
business in his old location. He has
been handling much of tne fine mum
stock of the Richmond Hill growers.
He hopes to be well located before
Christmas.

Bonnet & Blake, on Boerum place, were
fortunate in escaping the widening pro-
cess, though their business has been wid-
ening encouragingly and the class of
rose stock they handle is as good as the
best. They have grown rapidly during
the last year and are a permanent addi-
tion to the wholesale cut flower indus-
tries of Brooklyn.

Crawbuck & Wiles are reaching out

for trade beyond their own city with
great success. They booked over $1,000
in orders last week in New York City
for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Ten
tons of Princess pine are already in
stock. Anticipating the street's re-
requirements. Hicks & Crawbuck moved
in time to their new premises on Court
street, where they have one of the largest
and most up-to-date wholesale establish-.
ments in the east. Half a dozen large
rooms are occupied by their florists'
supply departments and cut flower trade,
with smaller rooms for wheat, crepe
paper and luncheon conveniences. In
the latter the touch of a bell brings in
a sumptuous repast at any time, from
a restaurant above them. The office is
large and light and with all modern
conveniences, electricity included. Every-
thing but ribbons is handled.

Abundance.

A visit to Great Neck last week and to
Rudolph Fischer's found Abundance in
its glory. Five houses of about 12,000
square feet are almost entirely devoted
to this carnation. In fact, for years Mr.
Fischer has grown no other variety, and
he does not need to. This white seedling
is a cross of Scott and McGowen and
combines the qualities of its parentage.
Its productive quality has delayed its
introduction. It has been grown here
since 1895 and seems to improve every
year. It has never shown disease and its
price has always been maintained. It is
very sweet, a great keeper, blooms often
retaining their beauty for a week, often
thirty flowering shoots to a plant, con-
stantly throwing up new shoots. Cutting
begins early and the plants are never
thrown out before August and then only
for his white seedling aster, a variety
as large as a chrysanthemum. Mr.
Fischer also has a fine freesia, pure
white, called Purity, which is very popu-
lar. He has lived at Great Neck for
twelve years. His foreman, Clarence
Connolly, has been with him since 1893.

Various Notes.

A. J. Guttman is back from his travels
with Victory and greatly delighted with
its reception and the personal courte-
sies he received. In his big ice box this
week the Maud Dean, Chadwick and
Timothy Eaton chrysanthemums were a
special feature. Mr. Reidel, of his force
of lieutenants, is making a great bowling
record this fall, two of his recent scores
being 243 and 265.

The sympathy of the trade is extended
to George Burnett, of Burnett Bros.,
seedsmen, in the loss of his wife.

The "improvements" to be made by
the railroads downtown on Cortlandt
street are not te the liking of the big
seed houses on that busy thoroughfare.
The station will be so near Broadway,
that, while it removes the Thorburn head-
quarters completely, it will unload its

human freight beyond the doors of the
Peter Henderson Co. 's big store and
divert much of the street traffic from its
long accustomed way. So carefully made
plans, that seem, when laid, good for a
century, have to sometimes in this swift
city be changed completely in a day.
Meantime a million every five years is
added to the population.

The big World's Fair in 1909, the
three hundredth anniversay of the dis-
covery of the Hudson river, is now al-
most assured, the committee meeting
last Friday being practically unanimous
in favor of the project.

Mrs. Clarke, of Portland, mother of
the Clarke brothers, the florists, arrived
from Dresden by the Pennsylvania on
Friday and spent a few days with friends
in Brooklyn before leaving for home, via
Oakland, where Mr. Clarke and her son
have one of the best greenhouse plants
in California. Miss Clarke remains in
Germany to complete her musical educa-
tion.

change in the issue of November 16, in

ancAGo.

The Great Central Market.

At the close of last week there was a
gradual stiffening in prices, due to the
near approach of Thanksgiving. Mon-
day opened with considerable long-dis-
tance shipping but not much else doing.
Thanksgiving prices were in force and
local retailers bought only for immediate
needs. Tuesday found every house with
all the shipping it could handle, but
supplies of stock were large and every-
thing points to a record-breaking
Thanksgiving business.

The Beauty cuts are heavy but most
of the stock comes in the extra long
class. It has been possible to fill all
orders for the long-stemmed stock but
a great many orders call for medium
grades, which it has been impossible to
supply. Brides and Maids are equal to
all requirements. Some splendid Rich-
mond and Liberty are seen and these,
with Beauties, are the popular roses.
Uncle John is also in unusually good
form and large supply. The carnation
growers have evidently been holding back
stock, for receipts Monday and Tuesday
were heavy and some of the consign-
ments showed evidences of pickling. In
general, however, the stock graded very
good. Prices are strongly held but or-
ders have been filled. Chrysanthemums,
especially of the medium size are in
large supply, Bonnaffon being especially
numerous. The demand has been excel-
lent and stock cleaning up in first-class
shape. It is reported that the season
is well over with a good many of the
large growers.

Violets have not been abundant, nor
have they been in such heavy demand
as at some previous Thanksgivings. Val-
ley is abundant and has sold well. Har-
risii are still scarce but callas are more
plentiful.

The call for green goods has been
something phenomenal. Large quantities
of common ferns have gone out this
week and also galax and leucothoe, while
almost every order calls for the finer
material, such as asparagus and smilax.
Plumosus bunches and Sprengeri were
short of the demand. Adiantum is
plentiful.

The death of Marshall Field, Jr., on
Monday night, did not affect the market
so much as it might, due to the request
in the funeral notice that flowers be
omitted. Still some were sent and the
family order, handled by Samuelson,
was a large one.

The weather on Tuesday, the big ship-
ping day for Thanksgiving, was balmy
as spring, altogether too warm for stock
to carry in the best shape.

Variottt Notes.

On November 28 Stollery Bros, opened
a new store at 1983 Evanston avenue,
near the end of the elevated road. The
location is an excellent one, about eight
blocks from their old store. The room
is 20x80 feet and the prospects are for
doing a nice business there. Stollery
Bros, are first in with azaleas, having
Simon Mardner in good bloom.

B e n t h e y-Coatsworth Co. recently
shipped a box of Beauties to San Fran-
cisco. They were delivered six days
from shipment. Word has been received
that they arrived in fine shape.

C. W. McKellar had a nice consign-
ment of Laelia Arnoldiana this week.
This is a variety new to this market and
brought $4 per dozen.

Leonard Kill spent Sunday sizing up
the crop prospects at Peter Reinberg's.
One of the section foremen assured him
that he would cut 2,000 long Beauties
for Christmas. As this man has three of
the forty houses in Beauties, Mr. Kill
concluded that it is time to begin book-
ing orders.

J. B. Deamud is still receiving Beau-
ties from F. R. & P. M. Pierson, Scar-
boro, N. Y. They arrive in remarkably
good shape considering their long jour-
ney.

Wietor Bros, will increase their plant-
ing of the Richmond rose next season,
finding it about equally popular with
Liberty and easier to handle.

Following the Kansas City flower
show, N. A. Benson, Eniil Glauber and
J. A. Valentine, of Denver, came on to
Jolict for a day and then to Bassett &
Washburn's for Saturday afternoon.
Sunday evening they started for home.
Many noticed a peculiar exhilaration in
the atmosphere at that time but were at
a loss to account for the phenomenon,
for the western gentleman had neglected
to send out the usual advance notices.

Growers at Rogers Park are deeply in-
terested in the negotiations now pending
between the Rogers Park Water Co. and
the city. The Water Co., a concern
chartered before Rogers Park was an-
nexed to Chicago, is charging the grow-
ers 20 cents per thousand gallons. The
city charges only half that and pressure
has been brought to bear to get the
city's mains extended to compete with

the private company. The latter has
now offered to sell out to the city.

There is a report of another whole-
sale establishment soon to enter the
market, handling cut flowers and sup-
plies.

John Zech says that Zech & Mann have
facilities for a good deal more business
and that he proposes to push hard until
he needs more facilities.

Mrs. W. Duckham chrysanthemum ia

W. Duckham. They don't live up to
their eastern reputation.

The Greeks are again in trouble; the
fruit and flower stands have been grad-
ually creeping onto the sidewalks all over
the down-town district, but the council
has by resolution ordered them removed
December 1.

The Chicago Decorative Material Co.,
189-191 Wabash avenue, is working quite

The Market

The market has taken a turn
for the better. There is more busi-
ness, both in and out of town. The
feature is the shortening up of carna-
tions. Prices on the ordinary grades
have advanced sharply. Fancies and se-
lects are also higher. The unsatisfied
demand for carnations has turned to
tea roses, the lower grades of Brides

and Maids especially being taken as

demand, quality bringing good value.
Small orchids, cypripediums and onci-
diums are more plentiful. Beauties,
■which have been plentiful, were more
eagerly bought as Thanksgiving drew
near. Prices are advancing. Both Lib-
erty and Eichmond are improving. Some
very choice stock is offered. Chrysan-

A Christening.

Last Friday evening, November 24,
six chosen spirits gathered in the city
of Brotherly Love to christen John A.
Shellem's new rose. Eeaders of the Ee-
VIKW will remember that this new
American seedling is a white and pink
tea, very vigorous, believed to have a
great future as an outdoor rose. Eobert
Craig made a great speech, christening
the new rose William B. Smith in honor
of our dear old friend who loves "the
bonnie Scotch heather. ' '

QaaHty Tells.

"It is better to have 100 trees live
out of 100 planted than to have only
eighty-five out of 100 live." That sen-
tence expresses clearly the idea Wil-
liam Warner Harper, aided by John H.
Humphries, has steadily followed up at
the Andorra Nurseries. That idea is
evidenced in many ways. The planting
is further apart than usually seen, to in-
sure the safety of the next tree 's roots
in lifting. The lifting is not done until
the order is received. Then it is pushed
as rapidly as safety will permit. They
have gradually discarded the poorer, less
desirable trees and evergreens, growing
in their places the better varieties that
thrive readily under intelligent care,
giving something worth having.

from three to four feet high, well pro-
portioned, with plenty of room to grow.
Opposite the box Mr. Humphries

pointed out as pretty a field of ever-
greens as one could wish to see. They
were transplanted last August, the com-
mon-sense time for transplanting ever-
greens. There was not a soldier missing
from the ranks, retinosporas, junipers,
pines in long rows to the south. Down

Ehododendron maximum and kalmias.

The best scarlet carnation— being remariiably prolific

Time forbade a longer ramble, unfor-
tunately.

Ten Twelve Ontario Street.

Godfrey Aschmann left an order for
Michigan to show the representative of
the Eeview his Christmas stock. The
features of that stock were that only
the most popular varieties of decorative
and house plants are grown and only in
the medium and salable sizes. You rare-
ly see any very large plants at Godfrey
Aschmann 's ; you rarely see any very
small ones during the busy season. The
stock is all fit for the immediate use of
the average buyer.

The imported stock for Christmas in-
cludes Azalea Deutsche Perle, white; Si-
mon Mardner, rose red, and Vervaeneana,
pink, sometimes red; Araucaria excelsa,
glauca and compacta. all in nice condi-
tion, and good Ficus elastiea.

Tn home-grown stock Xephrolepis
Bostoniensis, elegantissima and Scottii in
many sizes; kentias, Cocos Weddelliana,
ferns, 3-inch chiefly, different varieties
of pteris, peppers, etc., are ready in
quantity. Mr. Aschmann handles an im-
mense amount of stock in the course of
a year. He keeps his benches always full
and no sooner cleans out one crop than
he has another ready to take its place.

Price of Flowers,

A good many criticisms reacli Phil on
the quotations in the weekly list. One
critic says they are too high,'another that
they are too low. In view of these criti-
cisms, some of them coming from intel-
ligent men of long experience, I should
like to state a few facts:

Prices in the cut flower market fluc-

tuate continually, often from hour to
hour. Ordinarily a general standard of
prices is maintained but quality, quan-
tity and condition render this an ex-
tremely diflficult matter. The lists pub-
lished are the result of careful compari-
son made in various centers and taken
with the market report will give a fair
idea of values.

Various Notes.

M. Bice has given evidence of rare
creative power in his adjustable novelty
baskets. The show room at 1220 Race
street contains a handsome collection of
these baskets in all colors.

J. J. Habermehl 's Sons decorated for
the Five O 'clock Club 's dinner last Sat-
urday evening at the Bellevue-Stratford
hotel. The room decorations were in red

on the table, low bowls of Liberty and
Bride roses forming the floral adorn-
ments. Boutonnieres were of white car-
nations. Some handsome palms graced
the room. There were eighty-five guests.
The work was designed and executed by
Edward Habermehl.

It is reported on good authority that
George Burton has decided that for him
there will be only one rose next season.
That will be American Beauty.

Edward Eeid's business shows a
marked increase over last season at this
period, which is all the more gratifying,
as the general florists' business has not
been ahead of last year; with many
growers and retailers it has been less,
owing to the late frosts.

Thaddeus X. Yates & Co. have in-
creased their planting of Easter lilies

Wm. J. Moore has a quiet confidence

the holidays that is inspiring.

Wm. E. McKissick has added natural
cut cycas leaves to his stock.

The Leo Niessen Co. has adopted light
brown kahki jackets, very neat and clean
in appearance, to keep their own and
their employees' clothes from being in-
jured by water, a sensible move tliat
should be followed.

The Market

Business is still improving, show-
ing a decided increase over last
week. There is still an abundance
of chrysanthemums and a good supply
of roses. The market continues to be
short on carnations. The carnations
grown in this section do not begin to
supply the demand. It is the best
selling flower in this market and large
quantities are shipped in daily from
Chicago. Violets are selling well and
bringing a good price. The approach
of Thanksgiving had a good effect and
advanced prices on cut flowers. Most
of the florists will be very busy next
week with decorations.

The Chas. A. Shaeffer Floral Co. held
its opening November 27. This concern
will be the largest west of Chicago and

The Market.

The market, which has been dull, has
shown a little improvement since my last
writing. All last week sales were very
irregular and no steady demand could
be relied upon. The wholesalers say
that never have they been compelled to
sell roses so cheaply at this season of the
year. The lowest price recorded was $5
per thousand, among them being Bride,
Maid, Perle, Meteor and Beauty of fair
quality. This forced the price down
on fancy stock of Richmond, Chatenay
and Liberty, which hardly reached $5
per hundred. Beauty has moved slowly.

Carnations, too, came in stronger than
the demand, with $3 per hundred for
fancy stock, though plenty of fine stock
in Enchantress, Nelson Fisher, Lawson,
Cardinal and Lady Bountiful went for
$2 and even $1.50 per hundred.

Chrysanthemums have slacked up
somewhat at this writing and it may
be that the growers are saving them for
Thanksgiving when better prices can be
obtained for them. Violets are becom-

and no glut is looked for on these until
after Thanksgiving. A few Harrisii and
calla lilies are in the market, with
plenty of valley and Paper Whites.
Romans are not in yet but are looked for
any day.

The market is well supplied with
greens.

The retail trade could also be much
better. The up-town florists have wed-
dings and receptions, while the principal
work among the down-town stores is fu-
neral work. We hope for a better report
for the next issue.

Varioftt Notes.

The Missouri Botanic Garden is con-
tinuing its chrysanthemum show free to
the public another week, the attendance
continuing very large daily.

Phil Shoup, of J. A. Budlong, Chicago,
was calling on his customers the past
week, Alex Siegle and Fred Foster show-
ing him the town.

The executive committee of the flower
show which is composed of Fred C.
Weber, F. H. Meinhardt, Theo. Miller,
E. W. Guy and O. G. Koenig, held a
meeting on Thursday night to settle up
the affairs of the show. The result will
be made known at the next club meeting,
December 14.

Henry Johann, of Collinsville, 111,, was
over the past week buying supplies. He
built four new houses this summer and
two more will be put up next season. He
is sending in some very fine cut stock.

Visitors were B. Eschner and Martin
Eeukauf, Philadelphia.

Dr. Emil Preetorius, editor of the
Westliche Post, a leading German paper,
died last week. Mr. Preetorius was a

great lover of flowers, and it was noted
that never a funeral took place in St.
Louis where there were as many and as
costly floral tributes as at this one.

F. W. Taylor, who was chief of agri-
culture and horticulture at the World's
Fair, has returned to make St. Louis his
home.

Eobert Aull, park commissioner, re-
turned the past week from an eastern
trip, where he collected statistics and
specifications for the new zoo which is
to be placed in Forest park. The portion
used by the World's Fair is rapidly
shaping itself and by next summer the
park will once again be in the hands of
the commissioner.

The florists again met defeat at the
hands of the Fern Glens November 20.
They won the first game and lost the
last two. Ellison was again high man,

The Market.

We have had lots of sunshine the past
week, and it has been doubly welcome to
the growers in this vicinity, and resulted
in an increased cut for Thanksgiving. It
was early apparent that the only proba-
ble shortage would be on carnations.
Roses brought from $4 to $8 per hun-
dred, carnations $3 to $6 and chrysanthe-
mums $6 to $20.

Business on the whole has been very

quiet for the past week, only a few
small decorations being reported and but
little funeral work, which seemed to be
scattered.

Various Notes.

H, E. Carlton, of Willoughby, grower
of the Governor Herrick violet, was a
caller last week. He says that the violet
is doing better in every way than last
season, when he though he had it per-
fected. He makes a daily shipment to the
Cleveland Cut Flower Co. and had a
heavy cut for Thanksgiving.

Carl Hagenburger, of Mentor, called
on the trade last week and reports every-
thing as being lovely at the home place,
and a good business at the Painesville
and Madison stores.

The Cleveland Cut Flower Co. has
moved to its new store, at 111 Huron
street and find it much more convenient
and pleasanter than the old quarters. The
store is equipped with electric light and
steam heat, is easy to keep clean, and the
large windows afford plenty of light to
work with. Business with them has been
fairly good, but they say they could do
more if it came their way.

Mr. Werner, of Werner Bros., Paines-
ville, O., was a caller on Saturday. He
belongs to the B. P. O. E. and was look-
ing up stock to be used by the order on
December 2 in the memorial services.
Mr. Werner has filled this order for many
years. Business with them has been very
good and he reports having sold out on
many varieties of dahlia roots, of which
they make a specialty.

Please discontinue our primula adver-
tisement as we cannot take care of the
orders. — J. Sylvester, Oconto, Wis.

FORCING SWEET PEAS.

I should be glad to have some informa-
tion as to the time of sowing and meth-
ods of culture for sweet peas under glass.

J. N. S.

Sweet peas for winter blooming should
be sown early in September, either in
small pots or in the bench, where they
are to remain. They ought to have at
least five inches of good fibrous loam,
composted during the summer. This
compost should consist of five parts loam
to one of decomposed manure and should
be thoroughly incorporated.

By sowing the seeds in 3-inch pots they
can be grown for some weeks and then
transplanted into the flowering bench.
This may save throwing out a crop to
make room earlier in the season. Night
temperature should not exceed 55 de-
grees; day temperature can run as high
as 75 degrees during bright weather.

After the plants have attained a good
size, and while they are making buds, a
weekly application of weak manure water
will greatly benefit them. E.

with the majority that the aggregate
for the month will be found quite satis-
factory. Good, sensibly formed, mod-
erate-priced mums are in good demand
and will all go. This is always the case
and we notice several benches occupied
with Thirkell and Nellie Pockett and
Ben Wells that the owners would like
very much to trade for Bonnaffon, white
and yellow, and Jerome Jones, even if
they were only one-half the size.
Surely you small growers, you have had
a lesson taught you this year and should
profit by it.

Visitors.

We have calls this week from several
florists who were a long way from home,
among them Mr. McBurney, Atlanta, Ga.
Mr, McBurney is a clean cut, shrewd,

up-to-date business man who would make
a success in any line. Mr. McBurney
just ran over from New York, a dis-
tance of 450 miles, to interview Alex J.
Scott, whom he eventually engaged to
take charge of his extensive southern
place. We hope that unqualified suc-
cess will crown the efforts and industry
of Aleck J., for we feel sure they will
meet with every encouragement and ap-
preciation from the proprietors.

Al. Mauff blew in on the way from
Denver. There is just enough of the
wild west left about Al to make him
distinct and out of the common, yet he
is very much up-to-date in the business.
He reported a great time at the Kansas
City show and a very pleasant visit at
Milwaukee.

Chas. Eoney, of the Lake View Kose
Gardens, was here, calling on his cus-
tomers and friends. He reports all crops
except carnations in fine order. One of
the items was 15,000 lilies for Thanks-
giving.

M. Bloy, manager of the Ohio Floral
Co., Cleveland, 0., made a flying visit
to his old home. He reports this brand
new establishment as thriving and every-
thing promising for an increase of
glass.

Still farther than any to travel east
was Mr. Hopkins, of Seattle, Wash., a
bright young man, who seemed to be
making this trip of 7,000 miles purely to
see what older establishments were do-
ing. What an example to some I know,
who are too lazy to go ten miles to see
things well done.

Connie Forbach.

We jumped on a Genessee car last week
and rode out to see Connie Forbach, of
the firm of Collins & Forbach, who are
running the old Bapin houses at Pine
Ridge. Mr. Collins is a busy man at
another business, so Mr. Forbach is the
whole thing at the greenhouses. The
houses are very old and awkwardly built,
but poor as they are, their architecture
is superb compared with their heating.
When severe winter sets in they are
little better than cold-storage and Connie
cracks many a joke over his difficulties.
Yet it is remarkable what he does with
these houses up to Christmas. He has
as fine a bench of Begonia Lorraine as
can possibly be seen anywhere. About
800 in 6-inch pots are wonderful, many
of them now perfection and others
pinched for Christmas. He also has a
fine lot of cyclamens in various degrees
of earliness.

But Connie himself is the principal ex-
hibit, modest, taking no credit for what
he does to perfection, but giving credit
to those who do things well that his poor
houses cannot. He is a student and
shows the result of it in anything he at-
tempts to grow. W. S.

Seed Trade News.

AMERICAN SEED TRADE ASSOaATION.

Pres., W. H. Grenell. Saginaw, W. S., Mien.;
First Vice- Pres., L. L. Why, St. Paul; Sec'y and
Treas., C. E. Kendel, Cleveland. The 24th annual
meeting: will be held at San Jose, Cal., June, 1906.

C. H. Keed, Sr., has disposed of his
stock in the Amzi Godden Seed Co.,
Birmingham, Ala.

Advance shipments of peas and beans
are being received at the south and re-
ports are that in a general way the sam-
ples are very satisfactory.

Several shipments from foreign parts
are due to reach the ports of entry
within the week. It is hoped that the
goods will be permitted a speeding clear-
ance.

C. D. Brown & Son have bought the
Ferdinand Yost seed business at Sedalia,
Mo. Porter Brown has for several years
traveled for the Plant Seed Co., St.
Louis.

The early wholesale lists show widely
varying prices, on such items as Yellow
Globe onion, for instance, which is
wanted on all sides and not to be had in
quantity in spite of many low quota-
tions.

The mushroom craze is still in full
swing. The Chicago flat dweller thinks
that a mushroom plant in the basement
is a sufficient cause to cancel a leaae if
the family who occupy the second floor
wish to move.

The preliminary price lists of the
wholesalers are thought to show only
the local ideas of values. The later
editions will likely come nearer to the
true values of stocks that are generally
thought to be scarce.

The Department of Agriculture has
sent out an announcement, which is ap-
pearing in many country newspapers, to
the effect that the free seeds are now
ready for those who apply through their
congressman or senator. It is stated
that "the country has been divided into
six sections with special regard to cli-
mate and soils and the seeds are sent only
to those localities in which their propa-
gation is believed to be possible."

It is reasonably safe to say that the
Department of Agriculture will have a
number of early opportunities to test
German alfalfa seed without going to
the trouble of buying it in the "open
market." It is also a fairly safe pre-
diction that certain German gentlemen
do not look forward with great pleasure
to their next trip to this country, while
there is a possibility that the first in-
quiry as to alfalfa for import will now
be as to its purity rather than its price.

An English investigator wishes to
know: "Has anyone ever suggested the
use of color in seeds! In flowers we are
told that the colors serve as guides to
insects; but I do not feel sure that we
have got to the bottom of that matter.
In the Scarlet Runner the best seeds are
beautifully colored, but they are quite
concealed till they fall ripe to the ground.
There are many seeds beautifully marked,
but almost requiring a microscope to
see their beauty. I want to know in
what way these colors are necessary to
the life of the plant."

NEW SWEET PEA8

EVELYN BYATT iiS^V^'

The most gorgeous colored Sweet Pea yet introduced. It mav be termed a self Oorffeona,
having a rich orange salmon standard, and falls or wings still a trlQe deeper color, giving a
rich, fiery orange or deep sunset color to the whole flower, very striJjing and unique. It has
caused quite a sensation wherever shown during the past year.

PHYLLIS UNWIN

.•^

A GIANT
NOVELTY

Color a deep rosy carmine self, the same form as GLADYS UNWIN, with the prettily waved
and bold standard of that variety, but a little larger, producing 3 to 4 flowers on a stem. It
is quite sunproof and perfectly fixed. The stems are long and stout, and it may be described
as A OIANT IH EVBBT WAT.

Each of above novelties, $14.60 per 100 packets;
$1.76 per doz. (Retail, 26 cents).

GLADYS UNWIN

LAST YEARS'
NOVELTY

This finest of all Pink Sweet Peas we Introdnoed last season. It Is a striking'

and sterling- improvement, quite fixed and distinct, and a

great acquisition for Cut Bloom.s.

OKADTS UHWXV has a very large and bold flower, not hooded, but with a very striking
upright crinkled or wavy standard, and broad wings. Color, a pale rosy plsk. A strik-
ing feature is that about 75 per cent of the long flower stems are with lour blooms, which
Is a most unusual thing in Sweet Peas. It was first raised four years ago, viz.. In 1901, and
has kept perfectly true and fixed in character each year since and we have no hesitation
In saying it is a bona-fide departure in pinks. For market growers especially it cannot be
surpassed, and is just the lovely pink color which is so much in demand. $4.60 per pound.

The California growers now traveling
for orders report business fully up to
expectations. The slight advance in the
prices is no drawback, and their opti-
mistic feeling that the crop of 1906 will
make everything satisfactory is quite a
help.

GREEN AND HOLLY.

Those best in position to estimate this
year's supplies of green say that the
crop will be from fifty to sixty per cent
of what it was in former years. Green in
small lots has been sold at $8 per 100
pounds at Chicago this week. It is said
to be exceedingly difficult to get the In-
dian pickers to go into the Wisconsin
woods this fall. Each season it is neces-
sary to go farther afield.

Southern holly will be abundant, but
so much cannot be said of its berries.
However, many buyers are able to use
it combined with the red Christmas ber-
ries which have been sold so largely the
last few years. Some excellent Delaware
holly is offered. Advance quotations at
Chicago are about $5 per case. It is
said by one of the large shippers that

it is necessary to go twenty-five miles into
the woods for good holly. Good holly
can be had, but it costs more money
than in previous years.

Watkins & Simpson, London, report
that many American seed catalogues for
1906 will list their set of sweet pea novel-
ties. Watkins & Simpson have estab-
lished a reputation in England and, in-
deed, throughout the world, as sweet pea
specialists, although it is only one of
their lines, and have built up a very large
business, possibly largely because of the
success of their recent introductions.
Gladys Unwin was sent out by them last
year. Evelyn Byatt, described as a self
Gorgeous, is the leader of this year's
set. It has created a sensation wherever
seen because of its unique and pleasing
color.

NOTES FROM HOLLAND.

The bulk of the bulb stocks may now
be said to be in the ground and within
a few days the winter covering will be
put on. Owing to the unusual clean sell-
ing out of nearly all sorts of tulips,
stocks have been reduced in many in-
stances and, as the acreage of hyacinths
planted out is also considerably less than
last year, the planting operations have
come to an end earlier than usual. So
far the autumn has marked itself as a
very wet one, but as the grounds are in
a condition to absorb much moisture, ow-
ing to the very dry summer, it is not
likely that much harm is done. Trade
in all sorts of tulips and crocus has con-
tinued to be brisk and prices have gone
up very considerably. Spiraea and diely-
tra have not sold as well as was antici-
pated, but gladioli such as Brenchleyensis
are exceedingly scarce and command at
present very high prices for large bulbs.
Liliums are a short crop and are in good
demand notwithstanding that the quality
is not up to the usual mark. — H. T. J.

THE GOVERNMENT AND SEEDS.

In the annual report of the Secretary
of Agriculture, made public November
27, under the sub-heading "Better
Seeds for the Farmer, " it is said :

Methods and apparatus for testing seeds for
mechanical purity and germination have been
studied and perfected by the Department. By
means of publications giving descriptions and
drawings of weed seeds and the seed of our
economic plants, farmers have been warned of
the adulterants frequently found in field seeds
and have been advised as to the general quality
of those In the trade. They have been invited
In all cases of doubt, to submit samples to the
Department for testing before buying.

Through samples of Imported seed received
from the custom-houses. Information has been
obtained as to the quality and kinds of seed
being Imported both for legitimate use and for
purposes of adulteration.

The proper conditions for the storage of seeds
under unfavorable climatic conditions have been
determined. The handling of Kentucky blue
grass has been studied and the proper treatment
to economically produce seed of high vitalltv
has been pointed out. ■^

Under the sub-heading "Improve-
ments in Seed Distribution, ' ' Mr. Wilson
writes :

One of the most Important tasks which the
?.^?"fv'^f°* ^^^ ^° perform Is the securing and
distribution of the large quantity of seeds made
necessary by the Congressional seed distribu-
tion. In the earlier work of the Department
It was the practice to secure this seed, put It
up. and send It out entirely with a departmen-
tal force. As the demand for seed Increased
Hud the work grew. It was found difficult to
bandle the complicated questions Involved In
this way. For a time the handling of the
^, J9^ ^^^ Congressional distribution was
placed In the hands of contractors, but this was
found unsatisfactory.

il?® Bureau of Plant Industry was charged
with all matters pertaining to the seed work
and for the past four years has been glvlne
special attention to Improvements In the meth-
ods of securing, handling and distributing. The

THRIPS ON LETTUCE.

I am up against a little brown mite,
so small that one can hardly see it.
They can jump about an inch. Water
does not hurt them and they seem to
fatten on tobacco smoke. But they get
away with the small lettuce plants very
rapidly. They suck the juices and the
leaf fades away. Can you help me out?
J. -J. T.

I think this little jumping customer
must be a species of thrip, of which there
are several that prove quite troublesome
on different species and varieties of
greenhouse plants. In one of the species
the mature insect, which is only about
one-twentietli of an inch long when he
attains his full growth, ia of a dull brown
color, while the young are dull yellow.
This is probably the one that has taken
up his abode on your lettuce plants.

All thrips are much alike in their
tenacity of life and are one of the
hardest insect pests to be rid of. They
will survive fumigating with hydro-
cyanic gas strong enough to kill most
any other insect, and I have found them
alive after the gas had been applied
strong enough to injure the plants.
Fine tobacco jiowder dusted over the
plants seems to make their habitation
uncomfortable and will chase them
quicker than anything I know.

As a rule, however, they are not very
troublesome in a lettuce house tempera-
ture, 1 have noticed that they are most
trouble on small lettuce plants when
these have been started and kept for
some time in a higher temperature than
that usually maintained in a lettuce
house. A change of temperature, though
it may check the growth of the plants
for the time being, will usually serve
the purpose of getting rid of thrips. I
have often set the seed pans in a cold
frame, just protecting them from frost,
for a week or so and found that it will
upset the family arrangements of Mr,
Thrip, The plants will soon regain lost
ground when brought back into a lettuce
house temperature.

Though it may not apply to your case,
it is quite a common custom to start let-
tuce seeds in a warm house and keep
them there until the plants are ready for
the first pricking out ; and some even keep
them there after this, but it is a mistake.
The attack of thrips is but one of the
several disadvantages to which the
plants are subjected under such treat-
ment. It is much better to start the
plants in a normal temperature, even
although they take a little longer to
reach the planting stage. The plants

will be healthier and better in every
way, and there is no necessity for try-
ing to rush them, if the grower only
looks a little ahead, as they take up
but little room in the earlier stages, and
a few days' difference can easily be
overcome by sowing a little earlier and
allowing the plants time to come along
more naturally.

In starting the plants in a house other
than a regular lettuce house, even
though the temperature is not so much
higher, they often become infested with
thrips from other plants with which they
come in contact. They may not be
present on the other plants to any hurt-
ful extent, the nature of the plant prob-
ably not being so suitable to their de-
velopment, but^ when they get on the
nice, tender lettuce plants they set to
increasing as fast as nature will let
them, while they find the pastures good
for the young to feed on. It is a law of
nature that holds good even with insect
life that the more congenial the quar-
ters the faster will be the increase.

EVERGREEN, ALA,

PROVIDENCE, R. L

Florists in different parts of the State
may have an opportunity of experiment-
ing with hydrocyanic acid gas if they
so desire, by communicating with the
Ehode Island College of Agriculture and
Mechanic Arts at Kingston. The exper-
imenting will be carried on in only a few
places, so those who wish to take part
in the demonstration wiU do well to
write to the college without delay.

Fumigation with hydrocyanic acid gas .
has been found very effective in the de-
struction of a number of greenhouse in-
sects.

The value of this method is not very
well known, and, as the deadly nature
of the gas deters many from trying it,
the Ehode Island College will arrange
with a few florists and forcing-house
men in different parts of the state who
have suitable houses in which to conduct
•co-operative experiments in the use of
the gas. Any florist or greenhouse own-
er wishing to try the experiment should
write for an outline of the plan to the
extension department, Ehode Island Col-
lege, Kingston, E. I.

HoRNELLSVlLLE, N. Y. — There we

Schenectady, N. Y.— At the funeral
of Mr. Pitkin, of the American Locomo-
tive Co., which took place November 20,
one of the notable designs was a floral
locomotive, executed by T. J. Totten, of
Saratoga Springs.

Washington, D. C— It is reported
that the Bureau of Plant Industry has
imported from the Philippines a lily
resembling the common Easter lily. It
bears only one flower to the plant, but
develops in a remarkably short time.
This lily has been crossed with the Har-
nsii, resulting in a hybrid, bearing as
many flowers as the old Bermuda lily,
which will develop in four to five months.

Springfield, O. — Harry F. Good, of
the Good & Eeese Co., was judge of the
chrysanthemum show at Waco, Tex.

Springfield, III. — The state civil ser-
vice commission has divided the classified
service into seven branches, one of which
is agriculture, including all positions at
state institutions requiring farmers, flo-
rists, gardeners and dairymen. Exami-
nations are held as frequently as neces-
sary to maintain an eligible list.

"While we do not know exactly
where we stand financially as the result
of the flower show, it is safe to say
that the assessment on the guarantee
fund will not be more than fifteen or
twenty per cent," says F. H. Holton,
of the Milwaukee Florists' Club. "The
deficit will not be more than $200, and
we are more than satisfied. We had
not expected it tb be so successful and
at one time we thought we would be
lucky if the deficit did not exceed the
guarantee fund of $1,200. We regard
the show as a success in every way, and
the experience gained through it will
be valuable in making arrangements
for a bigger and better one next
year. ' '

BALTIMORE.

Market Improved.

Since last report there has been a de-
cided increase in business all along the
line and prices are firmer on all good
stock. Chrysanthemums are gradually
decreasing but there is no scarcity as
yet. Koses are still too plentiful, no doubt
because of the mild weather. Carnations
continue scarce and prices have stiffened
on all grades and the chances are that
they will continue short in supply for
some weeks to come.

Club News.

The meeting of the Gardeners' and
Florists' Club on November 13 was well
attended and proved a very interesting
one. The topic for the evening's discus-

Gardener." Papers were read by Messrs.
UflBer and Seybold and those who spoke
on the subject were Messrs. Wagner,
Uffler and Hennigan. A vase of chry-
santhemums exhibited by the president,
P. B. Welsh, which he considered good
commercial varieties, included Paoli

BARNEVELD, N. Y.

H. H. Nicholson and A. 0. Grassl, who
have entered into partnership in the
greenhouse business, on November 21,
purchased from C. A. Nicholson his range
of greenhouses in this village. The
Wa-no-ka Greenhouses have grown from
a small beginning. The first house was
erected in the summer of 1901. Two ad-
ditional houses were added in 1903 and
three more, together with an eighty
horse-power boiler were erected in 1904,
so that the plant to-daj comprises
50,000 square feet of glass, boiler houses,
packing and shipping house, cement cool-
ers, etc., and a first-class hydraulic sys-
tem which supplies the houses with water
at a head of 200 feet. The plant is de-
voted exclusively to carnations.

Mr. Grassl came into the business as
its manager in June, 1903, and now in
purchase with H. H. Nicholson, who is a
son of the former proprietor, becomes
equal owner of this property. Under Mr.
Grassl 's management the output has
steadily improved in quality and quan-
tity. The business has been successful
from the start, and they have never been
able to fill all orders received, although
the average cut of carnations is over
12,000 flowers a week.

NEW LONDON, CONN.

The second annual exhibition of the
New London County Horticultural So-
ciety, held November 16 and 17, was a
pronounced artistic success but did not
do well in point of gate receipts. The
exhibits were nearly all from the pri-
vate estates of the vicinity and to Thom-
as W. Head, of the M. F. Plant estate,
and John Maloney, of the C. S. Guthrie
estate, special credit is due. They were
the principal premium winners and the
quality of their exhibits very high as
well as the number of their entries large.
Other exhibitors were F. L. Osgood, Ged-

and Mrs. J. C. Learned. The judges
were C. H. Totty, Madison, N. J., A. N.

A number of trade exhibits were of-
fered not for competition. These in-
cluded groups from Lager & Hurrell and

SEATTLE. WASH.

The first annual exhibition of the Seat-
tle Florists' Association was held No-
vember 15 to 18, and was a most un-
qualified success. One gratifying fea-
ture of the show is that it brought the
florists of the city together closer than
they ever were before. If nothing else
had been accomplished the show was well
worth while, in the opinion of those in-
terested. The show was not only an
artistic success, but it paid for itself.

The judges were John A. Balmer, of
Clealum; James Forbes, of Portland,
and L. L. Bussell, of Victoria, B. C.

The main competition was for the
trophies offered, the silver cup, the gold
medal and the cut glass vase, the H.
Harrington Co. making a clean sweep of
all three, but the competition was very
keen, and only the long experience of
Lee "Walz, the store manager for the
Harrington Co., made it possible for
them to win. The Seattle Floral Co.
exhibited a rose pink sport from Enchan-
tress. The Harrington Co. won first
with a scarlet about the shade of Flam-
ingo but with a strong, wiry stem and a

perfectly round and even flbwer, said to
be a sport from President McKinley.

Visiting florists were: A. J. "Wood-
ward and son, Victoria, B. C; Messrs.
Hinz, Maneke, Boberts, Smith and Har-
per, of Tacoma; Conrad and Klam,
Olympia, Wash; A. Le-Grose, Everett;
Bobert Cane, Eagle Harbor; E. N. Ker-
sey, Bellingham.

On Saturday night the members of
the association presented C. Malmo with
a gold-headed cane in appreciation of
his work in connection with the flower
show. A. B.

A summary of the' awards is as fol-
lows:

There were eight classeB for chrysanthemum
plants, and the Washington Floral Co. was first
in each.

In miscellaneous plants, Jacob Umlauff was
first for twelve begonias, six adiantums, six Rex

rington Co. was first for Scottll fern, the Wood-
land Park Floral Co. for design in carpet bed-
ding.

vines, colored leaves and branches. It
was made to represent an autumn scene
and V7as one of the cleverest pieces of
work I have seen for a long time. It
has been the custom here for many years
to use little of anything else except
huckleberry, fango grass, smilax and
plants in room and table decorations,
and this was an agreeable surprise being
that nothing of the kind had a place
in it.

Where it was the rule to twine smilax,
grape branches were used. Twisted around
chandeliers and hung in festoons over
doors and windows, they became very
effective, both for coloring, which was
of the brightest shades of brown and
red, and for its graceful and airy appear-
ance. Wild blackberry vines were used in
considerable quantities. They somewhat
resembled the grape branches, except that
the leaves are much smaller and the colors
even brighter. Thoy were pinned on por-
tieres and curtains and for rich shad-
ings could hardly be equalled. Large
branches of madrones were stood upright
in jardinieres ^lled with earth to repre-
sent growing shrubs and these, with their
multitudes of scarlet berries and large
green leaves, made an agreeable change
from the ever-present kentia or latania.
Branches of pepper were used to twine
around the stairways and quantities of
red berries mixed with them helped to
make the scene typically Californian. The
musicians were screened behind a hedge
of bamboo, the variety known as Bam-
busa falcata. The branches were cut
about ten feet high and stuck into jars,
about two dozen being used to make a
twenty-foot screen.

Over a mantel Magnolia grandiflora
branches mixed with short stems of sil-
ver maple and white birch tips were used.
The dark green of the former, together
with the varied tints of the other foli-
age, made a pretty combination and car-
ried out the idea of autumn.

Several large bouquets were distributed
around the rooms, in which the varie-
ties just mentioned were used and these
together with streamers of the wild black-
berry trailing from them and lying care-
lessly on the tables, were both novel and
artistic No flowers whatever were used
in the decoration and for something oriffi-
nal, true to the season and strictly Cali-
torman I considered it superior to any-
thing I had seen. q "^

NURSERY NEWS.

AMERIUN ASSOCUTION OF NURSLRYMEN.

Pres.j E. Albertson, Brldgreport, Ind.; Vlce-
PreB., Orlando Harrison, Berlin, Md.; Sec'y, Geo.
C. Seager, Rochester; Treas., C. L. Yates, Roches-

Dallas, Texas, June, 1906.

H. B. Shafer, of Alexandria, Ind., has
bought the Hughel nursery at Anderson.
It is the oldest nursery in the county,
having been in continuous operation for
forty-five years.

The little resort town of Ocean
Springs, Miss., is becoming a center for
the pecan industry, no less than half a
dozen nurseries making this stock a
specialty now being in operation there.

The park commissioners at Jackson-
ville, 111., wish to reforest Nicholas park
and, being short of funds, announce that
ri tree will be planted, named for and
labeled for each person who sends the
secretary a half-dollar.

A WESTERN landscape architect named
Weed, whose customers are probably not
able to disassociate liim from what he
wants to plant, is advertising that neigh-
borhoods may, by means of his services,
easily free themselves from mosquitoes.

Chicago capital is taking hold of the
pecan industry in Georgia, Chas. E.
Yerkes having purchased a three-quar-
ters interest in the Geo. M. Bacon Pecan
Co., at DeWitt. Another company of
which Mr. Yerkes is secretary and treas-
urer has also acquired 500 acres of land
in the same vicinity which will be plant-
ed to pecans.

CHESTNUT CULTURE.

The activity of pecan growers in the
south in recent years has not been with-
out a parallel in the north, where consid-
erable interest in the chestnut industry
is being manifested. As was the case
with the southern nut growers, one of
the most significant features of this
revival is the tendency toward the
selection and propagation of new and
improved varieties, especially of Euro-
pean or Japanese origin, the fruit of
such varieties being much larger than
that of the native American tree, and the
Asiatic varieties especially being less af-
fected by fungous diseases.

No native nut has such a wide range
of adaptability as has the chestnut.
Practically the entire territory east of
the Mississippi river is suitable for its
culture, besides sections along the Pacifia
coast. By far the bulk of the crop is
still obtained from wild trees, but large
groves are now being planted, both in
the east and in California.

Like the pecan, the chestnut has a tap
root of such length as to render its
transplanting somewhat difficult, and on
this account many growers still prefer
to plant the nut where the tree is to
stand. When planted in nursery rows
they should be allowed to attain a size
of from %-inch to %-inch in diameter
three or four feet from the ground, be-
fore grafting. For small stock the whip
graft is preferable, while cleft graft-
ing should be used on large stock. Fifty
per cent of the grafts is considered a
ipair result.

Grafted chestnut trees are early bear-
ers, the Japanese varieties often showing
fruit the first year, though to secure a

vigorous growth, the fruit should be
picked off for two or three years. Well
drained, gravelly soil is considered the
best for the chestnut. On rocky hillsides
with an eastern or northern exposure, it
thrives well.

The chestnut is by no means immune
to the attacks of insects, which damage
both the leaves and wood, besides the
weevil which works in the fruit, and
which is the worst pest the grower has to
contend with. Leaf blight, one of the
fungous diseases, may be controlled by
spraying with Bordeaux mixture. — The
Nut Grower.

APPLE SOILS.

In his annual report, made public No-
vember 27, Secretary Wilson, in the
course of 132 printed pages, devoted to
r.^counting the past year's accomplish-
ments of the Department of Agriculture,
claims that the nursery and apple indus-
ti ies have been served in two notable in-
stances : * ' The soil survey of the Lyons
area in Wayne county. New York, was
followed by an orchard survey made
undci the direction of the horticultural
department of Cornell University. Thus,
a map showing the adaptation of apples
to the various soils has been supple-
mented by a comprehensive bulletin
which discusses the question of the vari-
eties to be raised for commercial mar-
keting, the methods of culture and the
fertilizi.r to be employed, questions of
storage and eLipment, and even the facil-
ities offered by the different domestic
and foreign markets. In the same way
the great pippin belt of Maryland, Vir-
ginia and North Carolina has been stud-
ied. It was found that the profitable
production of pippins was confined to a
single soil type — the Porters black loam
— occurring in the coves and small val-
leys of the eastern ranges of the Alle-
gheny mountains. It was also found
that not only were the most successful
orchards located upon this soil type, but
also that a distinct climatic belt also ex-
isted within which the pippin production
was especially favored. On account of
differences in latitude this belt de-
scends from higher elevations in the
south to lower elevations northward. In
Virginia it occurs between altitudes of
1,200 and 3,000 feet."

HARD-WCX)DED CUTTINGS.

H. E. Van Deman says that the first
essential is that the wood should be per-
fectly ripened and sound in every partic-
ular, and the sooner after that time it is
removed from the trees the better, for
there is danger of severely cold weather
injuring the vitality of the wood and
buds. Only the new growth of the cur-
rent year should be taken and that which
is thrifty. The best wood is usually at
the top of the tree, and the same is true
of the shrubs. As soon as taken from
the trees and tied in bundles, each bun-
dle should be carefully labled.

The cuttings must never be allowed to
dry out. It is safe to pack them in
damp moss, sawdust or leaf mold. They
may thus be placed away in boxes and
put in a cellar, dampening the whole
mass as it is packed down. However,
most propagators bury them in the
ground, because the temperature of the
ground rarely changes, and if the soil is
re?isonably moist and kept covered with
straw or any other litter, it will remain
so until spring.

In making the cutting the wood should

be cut into 10-inch lengths and close to
a bud at either end. The latter is im-
portant because of the fact that the
roots strike out more easily near the buds
than elsewhere, and there should be no
dead wood above the top bud or buds,
which make growth above ground. In
case that wood is left above the upper
bud it is sure to die back very close
to it.

DETROIT.

The Market.

Although business has been pretty
good it is hardly what is expected at this
season of the year. If it were not for
the large amount of funeral work, things
would be rather dull. Large wedding
decorations are few and far between,
and having had very fine fall weather,
people spend their time outdoors, instead
of giving parties, etc.

Although Thanksgiving in Detroit does
not draw very heavily on the market,
prices took a decided jump for a few
days, to keep in line with the east and
west. Chrysanthemums are still in the
ring, but good white and pink varieties
are quite scarce. Roses are selling fairly
well, select stock bringing from $6 to
$8 per hundred, with a slight advance for
Thanksgiving. Carnations, though not
exactly scarce, are by no means a glut.
Lawson colors are quite plentiful, but
Enchantress and good white are at a pre-
mium. Violets are a very scarce article
at present and short white flowers for
funeral work are becoming very scarce.

Various Notes.

E. O. Kohler has opened a fine new
store on the east side.

Robert Flowerday was very much im-
pressed with the Toronto show. On ac-
count of the stormy weather the show
was not a success from a financial stand-
point, but it seems each and every florist
did all in his power to make a fine dis-
play and succeeded.

The store and greenhouses of the late
H. G. Flammer are still being offered for
sale by Mrs. Flammer. H. S.

Fort Wayne, Ind. — George Doswell's
cow recently killed his fine horse by ac-
cidentally cutting its neck with a horn.
The jugular vein was severed.

Detroit, Mich. — The American Blower
Co., the maker of the Morehead steam
trap so largely used by florists, is erect-
ing a three-story steel and brick addi-
tion to its plant.

PIPING A ROSE HOUSE.

We are working on plans for a rose
house which we expect to build early
the coming year and wish a plan for
heating it. The rose house will be 21x
200, five feet to the plates, eleven feet
to the ridge. It will be connected on
the south side to our other houses and
will have a row of 20-inch glass in the
north side. It will have three benches,
each five feet wide. We have a 3-inch
main steam line, which comes up the
west end of the other houses. It
feeds three 200-foot houses. Would we
have to lay another line or would the
3-inch line be large enough to supply
the rose house? Please give us a plan
to heat this house to 58 degrees when
the temperature outside is 20 degrees
below zero. T. W. C.

It is quite unusual to be able to pro-
vide heat for three houses 200 feet long
with one 3-inch flow. Each of the
houses should, under ordinary condi-
tions, be provided with a 2 1/^ -inch flow.
Each house demands about 1,000 feet of
radiation. The four houses, therefore,
need about 4,000 feet, which will re-
quire at least a 4^-inch main to safely
carry them. If the present plan is sat-
isfactory for the three houses upon it,
an independent 2 14 -inch riser can be
carried from the boiler direct to the
new house. A good plan for piping the
new house would be to carry a 2%-inch
riser to the most distant end of the
house and there divide it into three 2-
inch pipes, each to supply a manifold
built of tees and nipples to carry three
1%-inch returns under each of two of the
benches and four 1%-inch returns under
the bench on the most exposed side of
the house. L. C. C.

ELBERON, N, J.

The regular meeting of the Elberon
Horticultural Society was held on No-
vember 20, President W. D. Robertson
in the chair. There was a large attend-
ance. Nine new members were elected
and eight more nominated, and one life
member. An essay was read by W. H.
Waite on ''Gardens and the Garden-
ing Profession," which was well re-
ceived. There was a large exhibit of
cut flowers, notably a fine vase of En-
chantress carnations from W. D. Eobert-
aon, which scored ninety points; a fine
vase of Nelson Fisher carnations and
some splendid blooms of Golden Chad-
wick chrysanthemums from A. Bane,
scoring ninety points.

Pecatonica, III. — John Winchester
has discontinued growing cut flowers,
finding it better to draw his supplies
from wholesale markets.

ABUNDANCE (Whits)

The phenomenal yielder, the freest,
earliest bloomer in existence, the most
profitable carnation ever offered to the
trade, easily gives four times as many
flowers as the freest bloomer already
introduced; a bench planted Aug. 31 is
now in full bloom to which there will
be no let up until thrown out next sum-
mer; come and see it, it will pay you If
you are in the market for a carnation
that will give you plenty of flowers at
all times and not only at certain times.
A good size, long stemmed flower. You
can make no mistake by stocking up
with It. Price for well-rooted cuttings,
SIO.OO per 100 ; $75.0U per 1000 ; 500 at 1000 rate ;
cuttings delivered as soon as rooted;
send in your order early as orders are

tings at same rates with 26 extra on

The Weekly Florists' Review*

NOTEMBEB 30, 1905.

IN GREENLAND.

My present house, built this summer,
is 20x50, with walls four feet, eleven
feet to the ridge. I have installed a hot
water boiler with a capacity of 856 feet
radiation. From the boiler I have run
three 2-inch pipes to a 4-inch main run-
ning along the ridge, giving it six
inches fall in the fifty feet; taking off
a 2V^-inch lead to a header under each
side bench, with four 2-inch pipes in
each, giving them a fall of nine inches
back, and a 2-inch return from each
coil to the boiler. This gives me fifty feet
of 4-inch pipe, 400 feet of 2-inch, and
about twenty-two feet of 2i^-inch, Will
this give me a night temperature of
from 48 to 56 degrees if it should drop
to 56 degrees below zero, as it did once
last winter? I might say that the walls
are banked with earth on the outside
up to the plate, leaving no wall ex-
posed, and only one end, which is
double glazed with a l^^-inch air space
between. When I extend the house
the other fifty feet, as I intend doing,
will the same boiler do the work with
the extra amount of piping similar to
what I have already installed? If
necessary, I can add another length of
2-inch pipe to each coil. J. S.

The boiler you have provided, if not
over-rated in its capacity, should do the
work you have planned for it. The pip-
ing as planned is not -quite safe in a
severe climate. Your house calls for
about 360 square feet of radiation,
while the piping you have installed is
about fifty square feet short of this
amount. The easiest way to provide
this will be to add a 2-inch return under
each of the side benches. Two addi-
tional 2-inch returns will add the neces-
sary radiation. L. C. C.

WACO, TEX.

The tenth annual exhibition has been
a success in every particular, and the
Floral Society feels very proud of the
result. Captain Shaw, chairman of the
finance committee, says that every bill
against the flower show will be paid, in-
cluding an indebtedness of three years'
standing, deficit owing to premium -win-
ners, and a loan made by the Business
Men's Club, and besides will have a nice
little fund to the credit of the society,
when all of this is paid.

There were fewer out-of-town exhib-
itors than in some previous years, doubt-
less due to the larger shows held on the
same dates, but the local people were
more in evidence than usual. Chas.
Meyer, the local florist, was a heavy ex-
hibitor, and took down most of the
premiums on cut flowers in the open
classes. Jas. Wolfe and Mr. Meyer di-
vided the awards on floral arrangements,
which were a pleasing feature of the
show.

UNPROTECTED HOUSE.

I am building a greenhouse 16x50,
side walls four and one-half feet,
gable nine and one-half feet. Both ends
are glass and there is eighteen inches of
glass in the south wall. Please tell me
hoAv many li/4-inch pipes will be re-
«|uired to maintain 55 degrees when it
is 30 degrees below zero outside? The
house has no protection. Hot water will
be used. L. M. B.

To adequately supply the house you
are building with radiating surface for
hot water, fourteen runs of 1^4 -inch
pipe the length of the house should be
employed, A 2-inch flow pipe carried
under the ridge will be sufficient to sup-
ply the fourteen l^t-inch pipes arranged
as returns beneath the benches, if the
expansion tank is well elevated.

L. C. C.

HEAT FOR SMALL HOUSE.

We have a small greenhouse 10x60
feet, which we wish to fit for growing
dahlias and gladioli. Kindly inform us
at what temperature the house should
be kept, and what arrangement of pipe
will give the necessary heat in Massa-
chusetts climate. A. S. C.

To adequately heat the greenhouse in
question with steam it will require a 2-
inch flow pipe, or riser, arranged fifteen
to eighteen inches below the ridge of
the house, divided at the end of the
house most remote from the boiler to
supply five 1^-inch pipes arranged under
each of the benches. It will be desir-
able to place valves on at least two of
the lines of pipe under each side bed,
so that during mild weather these pipes
may be put out of commission.

PITTSBUBG.

The Market

A good demand for flowers of all
kinds, along all lines, and the fact that
society is getting busier as th'e season
advances, keeps things on the jump and
leaves little chance for complaint.

Chrysanthemums have been scarce and
brought much better prices the past
week, but roses are plentiful and do not
bring the money they should, at least
the lower grades, although specials de-
mand a good price. Beauties seem to be
plentiful in some places, as I saw sev-
eral lots of specials which were bought
for $15 per hundred, and they were fine.

The wholesalers look pleasant and say
business is up to the highest mark for
this time of the year.

Various Notes.

J. Elicker, of Homestead, Pa., is
erecting two new houses. His business
keeps increasing so rapidly that he has
to keep building each year to supply the
demand for bedding stock.

Mr. Innes, of Innes & McKae, Ches-
wick, Pa., who has been ill for some
time, has gone to North Carolina for the
winter to try to regain his health.

Thanksgiving coming so late, did not
find the quantities of chrysanthemums
we have had for several years.

The fact that there was not much
money made in bulb stock last season
may account for the fact that there is
very little of it seen so far this year.

The Florists ' and Gardeners ' Club has
issued a very elaborate invitation to the
smoker for December 5 and the fact
that those in arrears do not get admis-
sion cards has brought some back dues
into the treasury. Very elaborate ar-
rangements are being made for enter-
tainment, as well as for a substantial
lunch. None of the boys should be
found missing that night.

Harvey Sheaf, manager of Mrs. E. A.
Williams ' store, is a visitor in New York
and Philadelphia. Hoo-Hoo.

We have been much pleased with the
Eeview in the past year and found it
very helpful in many ways. — Enoe &

The First Coat of Paint

Starting right in painting means staying right, means staying on of paint. The best of linseed
oil and yellow ochre as a priming basis — each piece not simply dipped, BUT SATURATED in the
dipping tank. The ends of each piece then get the prime just like the rest. All pieces are then
stood up to driv oflf — not "brushed out" — but only the excess that the wood WILL NOT ABSORB,
slowly runs off. The method, besides being so thorough, is a time saver. Every case of time saving
means money saving ; every time we save money, we can save you money. Same way all through
the factory ; latest machinery, skilled workmen, best of materials — only the best greenhouses as a
result — not the expensive greenhouse, but the best greenhouse. The best houses grow the best plants
and the best growers have the best houses. Be one of the "best growers". For growers, catalog L-G.

PEOPLE who know a good thing when they see it, and will take advantage
of the same, must be possessed with gooa judgment and are generally suc-
cessful. One of our successful growers has this year taken out 6ooo feet of
wooden gutters, which were only 5 years old, and replaced the same with 6000 feet of
the GARLAND IRON GUTTER, this being his fifth annual order.

Our long list of orders of this kind is our best reference. By writing any of

MISCELLANEOUS
SEASONABLE HINTS.

Christmas Crops.

There will not be much propagating
or' seed gowing from now until New
Year's. Your attention and energy will
be devoted to having your Christmas
stock in good shape. Kunning briefly
■over the principal crops we might men-
tion a few hints for their care.

Lilies that are well out can be re-
moved from the high temperature and
put in a cool house and it will improve
their keeping qualities when cut, but
don't move them until the buds are
expanded.

Azaleas.

Some of our Deutsche Perle and Simon
Mardner azaleas are already in full
flower, while others in the same house are
backward. It seems for this Christmas
flowering we should request, or insist,
that the plants should have well ripened
wood and well set with buds. Like, the
camellia, which I had occasion to com-
ment on recently, the time to prepare
for early forcing is in the spring, when
they are making their new growth. If
the growth is matured early and the buds
set, then they are ready to flower early.
Although the camellia and azalea are
allied, there is a wide difference in their
submission to forcing. The camellia will
stand none of it, while the azalea will
open its buds in a strong heat. Don't
fail when selling an azalea to tell your
customers to keep them well watered.
There is frequent complaint that the
azalea wilts and it is most often attri-
buted to a chill in delivering. It is
simply want of water. A cupful of water
is administered every twenty-four hours,
and this scarcely touches the original ball
of earth and roots that we imported and
with the dry atmosphere of a living-
room soon produces a collapse of petals
and buds.

Poiosettias.

Poinsettias are now fast extending
their showy bracts, often mistaken for
petals. It is just now that the greatest
care must be given to keep their hand-
some foliage fresh and green, for with-
out foliage to contrast with the scarlet
flower the poinsettia is a sorry sight.
A low temperature and exhaustion of
soil are the two causes of the leaves
turning yellow. Starvation at the root
is the most prevalent cause, because a
bench of poinsettias planted out where
there is abundance of room for the roots
to spread and feed will flourish like the
green bay tree in 10 degrees lower tem-
perature than in pots. They should not,
if in pots, be in a lower temperature
than 65 degrees. Planted out they will
do very well in 5 or 10 degrees lower.

Begonias.

There is no advantage in putting the
begonias in less heat. They should be
jvell developed in flower and they will
la^ all the longer. There is a great
difference of opinion on the keeping
qualities of this beautiful plant, Cloire
ae Lorraine. With some it quieklv drops
ail Its leaves. With others there is ro

complaint. It will last longer than a
bunch of roses and, therefore, there is
no kick coming.

Cyclamen.

A very different plant is the cyclamen.
They should not be subjected to a high
temperature or they will easily wilt and
should have a good lot of flowers out to
make them attractive. About 55 degrees
at night will do this and keep them
stout and strong.

There are many other Christmas plants
of less importance. The above are the
leading plants and you should be well
supplied with a desirable stock. It won 't
do to be minus any favorite plant with
the excuse that you did not grow any
this year. Your customers want no such
excuses and don't understand them.

The Ferns.

There is one plant that keeps up its
unrivaled popularity, viz., the Boston
fern and its varieties, and if you have
missed growing a good lot they are
readily procured. They are indispensa-
ble and fill the bill as a present better
than any plant you can mention. ' ' I

way, but the old Boston suits the mil-
lion.

Tulips and Hyacinths.

Don't try to force tulips or Dutch
hyacinths into bloom for Christmas. We
used to get the Uuc Van Thol varieties
in by that date ten years ago, but then
we did not have the flowers we have
today. Who would look at a dozen dried
up Due Van Thol when Lawson or En-
chantress carnations are in sight? And
the good tulipp, such as Yellow Prince
or Vermilion Brilliant, cannot be forced
in without a great effort and it is not
worth while. Romans and Paper White
narcissi should be in abundance. I hope
you started your Paper Whites in plenty
of time so that in a cool temperature
thoy will be well out. It is much su-
perior in quality when grown cool. Ro-
mans want a little more heat than the
narcissi, but are all the better if finished
off cool.

Lily of the Valley.

Speaking of Roman hyacinths tempts
me to remark that in our opinion they
are not nearly as economical a flower to
grow as is the lily of the valley. The
bulb of the hyacinth costs double the
price of the valley pips. It is much more
labor to force and surely it is no more
desirable for any purpose than the deli-
cate and beautiful so-called lily. When
once you have the apparatus rightly
fixed there is nothing more simple or
less risky than forcing the valley pips.

Do not attempt to force any newly
imported pips for Christmas, but you
can have a batch for New Year's. This

is constantly heard. The varieties are
now so numerous it will soon be a ques-
tion which is the favorite with the pub-

that the original Boston variety, or the
first variation of the species, exaltata,
is not yet superseded. The droojjing
habit of Bostoniensis, even in plants of
moderate size, is what pleases. This is
saying nothing against the extraordinary

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

Decgmbeii 7, 1903.

We have more than once tried to ex-
plain how to form a box for the forcing
of this little flower and won't go into
it now, but the conditions are these: For
early forcing, say New Year's until
March 1, 85 degrees for the sand; 55
or 60 degrees for top heat. Water the
roots every day, but when the buds are
formed, and more particularly when
turning white, never wet the spikes or
bells. Too high a top heat as spring
advances makes the foliage as well as the
spikes weak and wilty. The first ten
days the roots are in tlie sand a board

covering a foot above the pips gives them
a good start. Then for the next week a
covering of cheese-cloth is best and when
showing color they can be given the full
light but never exposed to bright sun
or a draught.

Depend on cold storage roots for
Christmas. If you did not start any in
l)ots for Christmas you can lift the full-
blown spikes from the sand and place
them thickly in pots or pans and it is
just as satisfactory as growing them.
They will not feel the change.

A YQUNG GROWER'S TROUBLES.

T send under separate cover sample
of my roses. Sample No. 1 were planted
the latter part of August, in the soil as
per sample, without any manure, being
unable to secure any. They made a
good growth and were apparently do-
ing nicely but now are a mass of blind
wood of a weak, reaching nature, the
buds on some coming small and dry up,
leaving the shoot blind. Others come
green and crippled, the latter on good
stems. I have fed them once with ma-
nure water. They have had lots of -air
on fine days, but have kept the hduseis
closed on dark, cold days. Once or
twice the temperature has been low at
night, down to 50 degrees. Had I better
feed them with bone instead of cow ma-
nure, alternately with lime? What is
the cause of the buds coming green a^d
deformed? Sample No. 2 is old stock.
They are making a fair growth but the
flowers are brown and the leaves drop-
ping off. They have had the same
treatment as No. 1 except that they
may have been kept a little more on
the dry side. What had I best feed
with for that soil? I hope I have made
my queries plain enough, as I am a be-
ginner and having my troubles, as I
presume we all do. H. B. S.

The samples mentioned have not as
yet been received, but as the letter con-
tains some very concise statements I may
be able to do something by way of ad-
vice.

August is rather late in the season
to plant and expect the plants to pro-
duce good blooms in November, as the
best part of the growing season is then
over and any "growth that newly planted
stock will make must of necessity be
of an inferior quality. This would part-
ly account for the blind wood.

Seeing that the plants cannot have
used the nutriment contained in the
soil, there could be no necessity for

feeding, as this would cause the plants
to gorge themselves and the conse-
quences would be just as stated; the
buds would get yellow and drop off.
This would also account in part for the
malformed and poor colored flowers.

This erratic temperature also is
against the production of good stems
and blooms. Keep the night tempera-
ture at 56 degrees and keep a crack of

air on whenever the weather will per-
mit. During sunny weather allow the
temperature during the day to run up
as high as 75 degrees with ventilation
on. The ventilation should be adminis-
tered by raising the ventilators in the
morning as the day warms, a little bit
at a time, never so much as to alter the
temperature of the house to any appre-
ciable extent and keep raising gradually
until the sun reaches the highest point.
Reduce the ventilation during the after-
noon with the same care, never lowering
the ventilators so much at a time as to
raise the house temperature.

During the process of syringing the
ventilators should be lowered so as to
raise the house temperature 10 degrees,
thus preventing the house from being
chilled.

Keep the branches and flower stems
neatly tied in an upright position, allow-
ing plenty of room for free circulation
among the foliage.

It might be advisable to give the
benches a sprinkling of bone meal occa-
sionally and stir it lightly, in alternat-
ing this with a sprinkling of air-slaked
lime every three or four weeks.

During dark weather it is a good
practice to open the ventilators a little
bit, even at the expense of a little coal,
as this causes a better circulation of air
and keeps the atmosphere sweet.

GRAFTED ROSES.

riving from Europe, and rose grafting

RED SPIDER.

I have some trouble with my roses,
the leaves turn the color of the sample
inclosed and drop off and one here and
there is dead. Can you tell me the
trouble and also the remedy?

W. F. D.

The preliminary trouble with these
roses is that they are suffering from a
bad dose of red spider. The leaves
were withered and dry when they
reached me, which precluded a more
searching investigation, but stock so-
badly infested with these pests will, by
reason of lack of vitality, be very sus-
ceptible to any trouble that comes
along.

Keep the syringe going every bright
day and use sufficient force, which
should be directed to the under side of
the leaves, to break up the webs and dis-
lodge the spiders.

Keep a night temperature of 56
degrees and a small crack of air on
whenever the weather will permit. In
the daytime during bright weather the
temperature can run as high as 75 de-
grees with ventilation on.

Be careful and do not overfeed, as the
plants are very weak and feeding will
only aggravate the trouble until the
plants regain their health. Eibes.

SWEET PEAS.

The Review is in receipt of a box of
sweet peas from A. C. Zvolanek, Bound
Brook, N. J., of very fine quality. The
named varieties are Zvolanek 's Christ-
mas, pink, and Miss Helen Gould, white
tinged pink. Sorts under number arc
No. 52, a fine dark blue; No. 64, light
pink; No. 73, pink tinged purple. A
bunch containing a dozen mixed varie-
ties is also included. All are on stems
more than a foot long and are a credit
to Mr. Zvolanek 's reputation as a grow-
er of Christmas sweet peas. The num-

bered sorts are to be named and sent
out to the trade.

NEPHROLEPIS WHITMANL

This fine new nephrolepis has at
tracted much favorable notice wherever
shown this season. At the fall show
of the Massachusetts Horticultural So-
ciety in September it received a first-
class certificate of merit. It is a sport
from N. Barrowsii, introduced by H. H.
Barrows & Son, of Whitman, Mass., last
spring and which jumped into instan-
taneous favor. It is the dwarfest and
most compact growing of any of the
nephrolepis family. The fronds are
broad, with very fine pinnae, giving them
a beautiful lace-like appearance.

An individual plant gives one tht
impression that there are several in a
pot so compact growing are they.
Messrs. Barrows state that in their large
stock of N. Whitmani they have never
seen a single frond revert. It is cer-
tainly a most beautiful fern and one
which when introduced, in the spring of
1906, will be in big demand. Already
many advance orders have been received.

WEAK-STEMMED MUMS.

My chrysanthemums grow too tall and
slender. The flowers are fair, but the
stems do not support them. Some are
five to six feet tall. I start them in
February. I pot the sprouts and keep
them in the greenhouse until the weather
permits me to set them in the open
ground. I plant them fifteen inches
apart in rows three feet apart, cultivate
well until about the first of September
and have had them three feet tall be-
fore they showed a bud. The soil I use
contains about one-fourth cow manure,
two years old and worked over two or
three times before I use it. I always
give plenty of sun. I have taken off all
the buds but the top one, and I have
left two or three; I don't see that it
makes any difference. This is in Mis-
souri. A. W.

1 see no reason why plants grown as
indicated should not produce good flow-
ers if given a sufficient supply of water
and fertilizer. A copious watering once
a week, with liquid manure after the
buds are set and swelling, is a great
help, as is also a good mulch of partly

decayed cow manure in August or Sep-
tember. I assume that the plants are
flowered in the open ground, where they
are grown. Such conditions are different
to what we encounter in the east, but it
should be easier to get a good stem on
plants grown outside than under glass,
as we grow them.

Next year take your buds the last
week in August, if you can get them,
and you will do away with two or three
feet of stem and be much more liable
to get strong stems. Buds taken late
in September do not give best results by
any means and those are evidently what
you have been taking, if your plants get
up three feet more after September 1.

EVELYN BYATT SWEET PEA.

(SEK 81'1'1'I.EMEXT.)

When the new sweet pea, Evelyn
Byatt, first came before the National
Sweet Pea Society of England, in one
of its great London exhibitions, the va-
riety was the center of attraction in the
show because of its new, striking and
pleasing color. It has since been ex-
hibited many times in England and has
each time added to its list of friends.
It is exceedingly difficult to paint a word
picture giving an adequate idea of the
unique color of this variety, hence the
color-plate which accompanies this issue.
The color is most nearly approached by

the color in the standard of the well-
known variety, Gorgeous, and most
writers describe Evelyn Byatt as a self-
Gorgeous, for where in that variety the
wings are lighter than the standard, in
Evelyn Byatt they are a little deeper in
color than the standard, with a distinct
tint of orange. Burning of the sts^id-
ard is one of the faults American grow-
ers find with Gorgeous. Evelyn Byatt
will be tried under the widely varying
climatic conditions in America this sea-
son, and if it holds its color, as it does
in England, it seems likely to be a per-
manent addition to the list of leading
eorts.

CARNATION NOTES.-EAST.

Timely Cultural Hints.

Thanksgiving, the first holiday of the
season that can be said to call for extra
quantities of flowers, is past and with
it passes the reign of autumn's queen.
I have always advised in these notes,
while the chrysanthemum held sway, to
direct the energies of the carnation more
toward plant building than production
of bloom; then with the coming of the
shortest days, just when we would desire
more hours of daylight, the plants are
in condition to withstand strong forcing.

I do not wish to convey the idea that
it is advisable to handle stock solely
with an eye to producing a bumper crop
for Christmas, or that strong forcing is
a specially invigorating course of treat-
ment, but to lay stress on the import-
ance of preparing the plants for the
strain that must necessarily result from
continued hard firing, for with this
must come strong forcing — tlie two are
synonymous.

Considering the amount of bright
weather we have had this fall, plants
should have made vigorous growth and
the soil be filled with a network of roots.
The amount of plant food removed will
depend on the manner in which the
stock has been handled; that is, whether
for bloom or with a view to later pro-
duction.

The soil in a bench from which con-
siderable bloom has been cut must be
lacking to some extent, while a batch
of plants that have merely made good
growth will not have depleted the soil
as much, and in either case it is ques-
tionable whether the amount of plant
food removed is as large as generally
supposed.

I venture the statement that many of
the troubles we are called upon to
diagnose can be traced to, or have been
greatly aggravated by, over feeding, es-
pecially during the first months after
housing and becoming established.

A plant when lifted has stored within
an amount of energy that is surprising.
Potted into clear cinders, as taken from
the ash pit, moistened with pure water
alone and given such care as would ordi-
narilv be received by any pot plant,

growth and production of bloom con-
tinue for some time.

Some scientists claim that animals
when born are possessed of, or have
latent within them, the required num-
ber of germs that are to produce their
allotted number of oifspring, the num-
ber of germs varying in different indi-
viduals. No agency can increase this
number, but failure to observe certain
laws or conditions results in diminution.
Whether this theory is applicable to
plants or not, we have not space or de-
sire to discuss, but we do know there is
often a wide difference in the blooming
ijualities of plants of the same variety
grown side by side under conditions as
I near the same as is possible to produce.
I To return to the matter of food supply,
I it is but reasonable to state that at this
time of year, when all plant life is at
its lowest ebb, sound judgment, accu-
j rate knowledge of previous behavior of
' plants and particularly the composition
1 of the soil must be known to handle the

Christmas crop to the best advantage.
We usually have bad weather around
December 20, so improve each shining
hour. Geo. S. Osborn.

CARNATION NOTES.-WEST.

The Propagating Bed.

As 1 promised last week, I will hav«
a few words to say about propagating
liouses and benches and also some hints
on caring for cuttings while in the
sand. Most large growers have propa-
gating houses which are designed and
built for that purpose and as they can
be handled according to the needs of
the cuttings, and no other crop has to
be taken into consideration, good suc-
cess is the rule. Such a house need not
differ very materially from the regular
growing house as regards the structure
itself. The ordinary even-span house is
as good as any and you can build it as
wide and as long as you like, providing
you arrange for ample means of ventila-
tion without causing a draught to strike
tlie cuttings. Some use a lean-to built
against a three-quarter-span house, but
we do not approve of such a house be-
cause it is entirely shaded in midwinter
and it is impossible to give the cuttings
any sunlight whatever.

So the most up-to-date propagating
liowse is an even-span house running
either east and west or north and south.
Tlie main difference comes in the build-
ing of the benches and arrangement of
the heating pipes. The benches should
be built very solid, as the sand is heavy
and when you pack it thoroughly, uh
should be done, it takes a well-built
bench to stand it. Put in the legs and
cross supports as usual, about four feet
apart, and then instead of the board
bottom use 2x4 pieces lengthwise and
space them apart far enough so that a
brick will reach from the center of one
to the center of the next one. Then lay
in the bricks flat and close together and
you have a propagating bench that can
not be beat.

You can use your own ideas as re-

gards the best material for the legs and
cross supports, also the 2x4 pieces, but
the above is a good plan of design for
the whole. Nail boards on each sido
from the edge of the bench down to
within a foot of the ground to hold the
heat somewhat. Let the edge boards
front and back rise five inches above
the bricks. The heating pipes should
be mostly under the benches. Have just
enough pipes overhead to temper the air
that comes in at the ventilators when
they are raised and to cause a uniform
temperature all through the house. A
good arrangement is to have one or two
feed pipes run overhead and at the far
end split up into several return pipes
to run under the benches. But this is
not always practicable and you must
arrange your heating pipes according to
the lay of the land on which you build.
But have most of the pipes under the
benches, so that under the benches it
will, be 10 degrees wanner than over-
head.

Now while a specially built propagat-
ing house is a very desirable thing to
have, yet don't think for a minute that
you cannot root cuttings without one.
If your houses are eveu-span, running
east and west, you can take the north
bench and build it as described above
and you will be fixed to root close to
100 per cent of all the cuttings you put
in. Even the bricks are not absolutely
necessary; in fact, we have propagated
for years on an ordinary board bench
on the north side of an even-span house
and we seldom fail to strike nearly
every cutting.

To sift it down to hard facts it sums
lip about like this: A properly built
bench will make it easier to strike a
large percentage of the cuttings, but a
good propagator can strike the same
percentage on any well-built, clean
bench if he has proper control of the
shading and heating. The boards should
not be so tight as to prevent drainage
of all surplus water, else the sand will
become soggy and the cuttings will rot
instead of rooting.

When getting your sand try to get a
clean sharp sand, either from bank or
liver. Kiver sand usually runs a little
finer than we prefer, while bank sand is
apt to have more or less loam mixed
with it. Avoid either of these, but look
for a gray sand that feels sharp and
gritty when rubbing it in the hand. Be
especially careful that there is no vege-
table matter in it to decay and cause
fungus after the cuttings are put in.
This really is more important than tho
fineness of the grain, as you can gauge
yeur watering according to the sand.
We have used all kinds of sand, coarse,
fine, loamy and gray river and pit sand
and we find that cuttings will root in
most any kind of sand if handled ac-
cordingly. But it is fiasiest 'to root
them in a sharp, clean, gray sand.

WITTERSTAETTER'S PET.

The accompanying illustration is from
a recent photograph taken at the estab-
lishment of E. Witterstaetter at Cincin-
nati and shows half of his house of Car-
nation Aristocrat. The house was
planted on May 24 from 3-inch pots and
topped back for the last time on Sep-
tember 15, all flowering shoots being re-
moved. The first flowers appeared on
October 25 and Mr. Witterstaetter was
<'utting quite freely by November 15.
The blossoms are large ana can Tje had

on stems twenty-four inches long without
sacrificing the plants. The camera does
not show this as it was placed some
thirty-six inches above the buds at the
center bench. The bench to the right
will give some idea of the height of the
plants, where it will be noted that the
top string support is twenty inches from
the surface of the soil, and by Decem-
ber 1 it required another support of
twenty-six inches above the soil, which
will be ample for the season, but the
grower expects quite a few buds to pass
this by eight to ten inches before the
end of the season.

Althougii these plants have done well,
]\Ir. Wittei-staetter likes the field grown
plants of this variety better commercial-
ly, as it makes stockier plants with
stems almost as long and as many buds
in sight as the indoor grown, and
blooms can be cut just as early. The
plants were lifted July 28. In color it
is in the Lawson class, slightly deeper
but brighter.

Every visitor to CiiicinnaTi taSes an
hour or two to run out to Witterstetter 's
to see Aristocrat and the many other
seedlings there.

Democratic ' ' Dick ' ' Witterstaetter
may be pardonably proua lor liis Aristo-
crat. The peer of the pinks and a
veritable aristocrat in its tribe, this nev,
aspirant for honor and glory, prizes and
medals needs only to be seen in its own
habitat to elicit unstinted praise. The
four benches planted with it, practically
a whole house, present a sight well
worthy of a day's journey to see.

Nor are his other seedlings, whose
name is legion, the less interesting.
; Chief among them is Afterglow, a
beautiful deep i)ink, borne on a long,
stiff stem and second to none, not ex-
cepting even the Aristocrat in produc-
tiveness. It has already won a host of
admirers. J. A. Valentine, salmon pink,
a color most desirable, lacks in but one
thing and that is stem. Were it not for
this drawback it would be in a class by
itself.

A number (if roils in their second
year's trial look proinising, and several
whites; one of the hawson type of
growth, has every appearance of being
:i monoymakcr of a high order. X.

BURST CALYXES.

Will you kindly inform me what
treatment to give my Queen Louise
carnations. Bursting calyxes is the
trouble. The jilants are very healthy
and the buds are borne on very long
stems, but when they open a good many
si)lit. I have tried keeping the house
warmer at night, about 58 degrees, but
do not see any improvement. I former-
ly kept it at 55 degrees. Is this variety
subject to this fault and do you think
it will overcome it later in the season?
F. K. J.

Yes, Queen Louise is subject to the
habit of bursting some of the calyxes.
We grew it a number of seasons and
have never been able to overcome this
tendency. Ordinarily one would expect
a higher temperature to stop it, but to

raise the temperature as high as you
have it will make the plauts so soft and
the stems so weak as to ruin the whole
crop before the middle of the winter.
I would advise you to drop the tempera-
ture to 52 to 54 degrees and keep it an
regular as possible, with a ris^ of 10
degrees on cloudy days and 15 degrees
on bright days. In watering avoid either
extreme dryness or moisture and do not
feed them until toward spring. This is
about all you can do for them, and un-
der this treatment the percentage of
split calyxes ought to be small.

Of course you know your own condi-
tion best, but I think that if you would
try some of the newer whites you

HELP NEEDED.

How much help will be needed to do
the work on a place consisting of a rose
house 25x200, another 20x100, a carna-
tion house 25x100, another 25x135, an
asparagus house 25x35 and a propagat-
ing house 13x21, a Ican-to 5^/^x92 de-
voted to mignonette, and another 10i/4x
50 for mums, stevia, etc.? A manager
is to have charge of the place. How
much assistance will he need to grow

would let Queen Louise go, as we have
done. The Belle is much larger and if
anything, freer and does not burst any
more than Queen Louise. Lady Bounti-
ful never bursts and in quality can
hardly be beaten after December 1. Ves-
per is the best white in the whole busi-
ness. Large blooms on fine stems; never
bursts and the bed looks like a wheat-
field, with plenty of young shoots com-
ing. The cuttings of all these will be
reasonable in price this spring and you
would do well to try some of each.

ABUNDANCE.

With all due respect to the eminent or
popular persons whose names have been
bestowed upon more or less short-lived
novelties, and with full recognition that
the disseminators were actuated by a de-
sire to honor one whom they held in re-
gard and not at all by a wish to profit
by the prestige of popularity of the
"somebody whose name was chosen, how
much better are such names as Eudolph
Fischer chooses. Purity for . his white
freesia, Abundance for his carnation.
Who would doubt that a freesia callea
Purity is unmixed with color? wno would
ask for evidence that Abundance is a
free blooming carnation? What's in a
name? A whole lot!

Mr. Fischer sends a photograph of
Abundance to show why he chose the
name. It was taken September 27 and
shows a house of plants benched August
31, 80 that if he had thought of a name
which indicated early blooming he would
have been all right. Incidentally it may
be remarked that he had not found it
necessary to support the plants at the
time the picture was taken.

batable connected with the business
and one which I would rather shun.
Any definite answer is nearly an impos-
sibility, as the conditions of soil, cli-
mate and accessibility of materials
have so much to do in governing the
amount of help necessary.

This place, covering roughly 15,000
square feet, should under ordinary con-
ditions be run by a manager who would
himself take the leading part of the
work, and one good practical assistant,
with a young man to help.

Extra help would be necessary to
collect soil and manure and keep the
coal bins supplied, etc. This also
raises the question of taking care of
the fires at night and as I am left in
the dark regarding the heating system
and the kind of fuel in use, it makes
the answer still more difiicult.

If the system is hot water and hard
coal is used the amount of labor re-
quired is not so much but that it could
be apportioned and carried out by the
help mentioned, except during very in-
clement weather. If the system is
steam closer attention will be required,
which may call for additional help.

Extra help should also be given dur-
ing the planting season, as emptying
and refilling the benches would en-
croach too much on the time of the
help to allow them to perform their
ordinary duties in a satisfactory
manner.

A good deal depends on the manager
himself, whether he is strenuous in his
efforts to have everything right, as the
force of example goes a good way in
the matter of getting the best services
from his assistants. R.

NAME OF HARDY LILY.

I have some hardy lilies that make a
good growth of leaves in the fall. In
the spring they send up fiower stalks and
bloom in the summer. This fall I found
on the flower stalk near the ground a
lot of small bulbs. These I gathered and
put in a pot. I have some growing from
them. Will you tell me how to care for
them until ready to plant in the gar-
den? Can you tell what variety of lily
it is? I. A. W.

We think the variety grown by this
correspondent must be Lilium candidum,
commonly known as St. Joseph's lily,
the Madonna lily and Annunciation lily.
So far as we are aware no other hardy
lily produces its leaves in the fall. It
flowers in Massachusetts about the end
of June and succeeds best in moderately
heavy soil.

This and a number of other lilies pro-
duce small bulblets at the base of the
flower stalk or between the scales of the
bulb. These can be taken off, which in

the case of L. candidum should be early
in August, and planted a few inches
apart in a bed of loam and leaf-mold,
giving a good coating of sand to the bulb-
lets. Do not use any manure in the soil.
Keep the ground free of weeds and give
a light Winter coating of leaves or
meadow hay and in two or three years
they will attain flowering size. The
flowering size bulbs of this lily are,
however, to be purchased at such low
rates that it hardly pays to raise theut

A NEW GERANIUM.

E. C. Hill, of Erie, Pa., says that the

panying illustration was not in espe-
cially good shape when photographed
July 3, 1905, though it makes an ex-
ceedingly fine showing. The variety i«
Ora D. Hill, a semi-double cerise seed-
ling which originated with Mr. Hill. He
has grown it several years and finds it a
more serviceable variety than any other
on the place, and a number of those in
the trade who have visited him agree
with his opinion of its usefulness. It is
a very easy grower and free bloomer, the
large trusses of bloom being carried well
above the foliage on stems a foot long.
It is very easy to propagate and is en-
during both as a bedder and as a house
plant. Mr, Hill proposes to let the trade
in on his good thing for next season and
IS busy propagating.

everybody in the trade. In the center is
Mr. Kill's assistant, counselor and best
friend, Archibald ('. Spencer, none tiie
less good natured for being thinner and
never addressed by anytiiing but an
abbreviation of his given name by any-
one but the Greeks who want to buy
Beauties on a stift' market. They are a
splendid team. The picture is com-
pleted by the presence of Cliarles Mc-
Clooii, who is known to most of the
florists in Chicago and to many outside,
partly because of the warm friendshij)
which exists between Mr. Kill, Mr. Spen-
cer and himself, and partly because of
his service in several seasons as press
agent for the flower show. At present
he is advertising and press representa-
tive of the Auditorium theater.

POLLINATING CUCUMBERS.

WiJl you pleas^o inform me if there is
i an artificial way of fertilizing cucumber
I blossoms in mid-winter? I am not pre-
y pared to keep bees to visit the flowers.
I Are tliere any varieties which, grown
I together in a greenhouse, would fertilize
j (if themselves? W. L. L.

1 answered a query recently regard-
ing the fertilizing of cucumber blossoms,

i wliicli you will probably have seen. It
ought to fit your case.

Tlio Unglish frame varieties of cucum-

! Ixns do not require to be fertilized to
produce cucumbers for table use. They
attain full si/e without fertilizing but

I of course produce no seed unless ferti-

I lized; hence the necessity for fertiliz-
ing when growing for seed purposes.
There are several varieties in this class
but tlie most widely grown and most
popular variety is Telegraph. This class
(if cucumber is much longer than the
White Spine type and I consider better
in quality but for some unaccountable
reason they have never become popular
on this side of the Atlantic for market
purposes, though extensively and almost
exclusively grown in private gardens.

of inanure, and whoii the heads begin to
form, liquid manure will be found to be
very beneficial, say about once a week.
See, above all other things, that they
are grown on without a check. They
can be planted as close as one foot
apart, but if there is room fouiteeu
inches would be better. Bee to it that they
are not overwatered when newly planted
out in the benches. A good way is only
to water around the j)lants until they
have made sufficient roots through the
soil. Then they must never suffer for
the want of water. They thrive in a
night temperature of 50 to .5.5 degrees,
with a raise to 70 degrees with sunshine.

If a succession has to be kept up seed
should be sown every three weeks, or
make sowings so as to have some plants
coming on to fill the vacancies where the
crop has been cut. From four to five
months are required to mature the crop.

Should the caterpillar pest prove trou-
blesome an occasional dusting of slug
shot would be found beneficial. Dusting
should be done as soon as the caterpillar
makes its appearance. It is a pest that
makes very rapid headway and if not
watched will work havoc with the plants.

SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS.

National Exhibition Postponed.

To Memeer.s of the S. A. F. & O. H. —
At the suggestion of Mr. E. G. Hill, upon
wliose motion the j)rojeHt of a National
Flower Show next A'arch was under-
taken, 1 have after consultation with
members of the executive committee and
I'resident-elect Kasting decided that it is
not expedient to attempt to hold a Na-
tional Flower Show in March, 1906.

It is Mr. Hill's contention, and to this
our executive committefi agree, mat the
time is too short between now and March
to prepare suitable exhibits, no schedule
of premiums having as yet been issued.

It is expected that the committee ap-
pointed to secure the $10,000 guarantee
fund will continue its work and that
this basis for carrying out such a show in
1907 will be secured.

NEW PHLOXES.

I'or the last few years I have been
giving a good deal of attention to hardy
phloxes. In my estimation they stand
next to the peony; they crown the sea-
son, from June to November, and with

Seedling Phloxes Raised by C. S. Harrison, York, N^b.

a little effort, by planting in masses,,
one can have a succession of blooms
through this long period. One of the
accompanying illustrations shows a vase
of blooms picked from seedling varie-
ties on November 1, after several quite
heavy frosts.

The wild phlox had flowers the size of
a dime. Their cultivation improved them
to be the size of a silver quarter, then
to the size of a half-dollar, and now
among the newer sorts we have quite a
number with flowers a silver dollar will
not cover.

The creation of new varieties of
phlox is easy work, once you find the
key to success. You know what you are
getting much sooner than when you are
raising new peonies. Some phloxes repro-
duce themselves from seeds with remark-
able fidelity and some do not come at all
true from seed. From hundreds of seed-
lings of the Cross of Honor there was
not one that favored the parent. Now,
one of the grandest of phloxes is Cre-
puscule. As related in notes in these
columns at the close of the season of
1904, I had early discovered that by
planting it in the center of a group, it
impressed itself on all its neighbors.
Planting seed of this origin that year,
I was amazed at the result. I picked out
twenty of the best sorts, many with
flowers as large as a dollar, and have
continued to work with them this year.

I am going on with the work, using the
finest varieties to be had; these are
grouped together and the seed saved
with greatest care. This year I raised
10,000'seedlings, many of them well bred.
The two illustrations show the compara-
tive sizes of the old and new sorts, but
both are considerably reduced in size in
the photograph. Next year I hope to
have 50,000 new ones and out of this
great number will surely have many of
rare excellence. I am now at work on
a manual on the phlox, to be a compan-
ion to my work on the peony, and hope
to do something to awaken public inter-
est in these marvelous flowers, so easily
cultivrttcd and improved

ABOUT ERICAS.

The beautiful summer-flowering varie-
ties seem to be going out of cultivation,
yet the winter and spring-flowering sorts
are as great favorites as ever. A few
years ago it seemed that these would
fall in the background, but last winter
they were again in demand ; and I find
that growers are doing well with them
again this season, and they are among
the lew classes of plants that have risen
in prices.

Last season I heard from several who
bought in the autumn, that they failed
to flower them well. This I am not sur-
prised at. Hven with good treatment,
they may fail, especially in districts
wheic fogs prevail, but nuich depends
upon treatment. There may not be
many who do not understand their re-
quirements, but there are evidently some
who need a lesson. I will refer to one
case I particularly, noted last autumn.
A large quantity of ericas which Avere
bought in September, I found crowded
t()ji( tl.er in a brick jiit wit'i the liu;iits
on them, and shut up close on a mild
morning early in October. To those
who understand the matter, it is not
necessary to give the result; but I may
say that E. hyemalis failed entirely,
and even the gracilis autumnalis were
little better. It is a delicate matter to

criticise what is being done in a nursery
when you are privileged to go around,
but when my attention was called to the
failure later on I could not help attribut-
ing the failure 1o the treatment they had
received after they were bought, rather
than the condition they were in at the
time of purchase.

It is dangerous to leave ericas out in
the open much after the middle of Sep-
tember, but it is just the time that they
require all the light and air possible,
and the niglit dews are also beneficial.
Plenty of room is one essential. The
best position for them is in light wooden
frames, with the lights at hand, so that
they can bo put on at s-hort notice in
case of heavy rains or frost coming on
suddenly. Provided the frost is kept ofT,
the cooler they are kept the better. It is
only when the flower buds are well ad-
vancetl that it is safe to give them
warmth to hurry them on. Another mis-
take which I have seen made is giving
them manure water. It is beneficial dur-
ing July, or on to the middle of August ;
but after that time it must be withheld
if they are to set their bloom properly.
A little weak soot water may be used,
and when the first flowers begin to open,
a little manure may help in finishing
them off. It will be found that those
which have a starved or stunted appear-
ance usually flower the best, though I
have seen those which have been grown
on vigorously early in the season, and
then ripened off, flower remarkablv
well.

Of all the ericas, hyemalis takes first
Iilace, and we usually get this in market
about the first Aveek in October, and I
have seen it earlier. Some of our best
growers keep up a succession until the
end of March. Gracilis is already in,
and we should have a good supply iip to
Christmas. Caffra is also coming in, and
r have seen a few well flowered plants
'>r gracilis alba; this comes almost pure
white under glass earlv. but Nivalis is
!i much better variety.

Of all the ericas. Wilmoroana is the
mocf diflicult to fi„i.l,. After the buds

are well advanced, they may fail to open.
The most important point with this
variety is to keep the plants as cool as
possible, with plenty of light and air.
They are more liable to fail when we
have spells of very mild weather with
frost !it intervals. Candidissima is an-
other Avhich requires rather careful atten-
tion to flower it well. Grandinosa, which
comes in early, rarely fails to flower
weli. Persoluta alba is also fairly free,
yet with all ericas there is some un-
certainty, and those who grow them best
during the early stages often fail to
finish, them off well; overcrowding and
a close atmosphere are the most general
causes of failure. This can be proved
by elevating a few plants above the
others, and where they would bo far
from the glass, it will pay to stand
them on inverted pots, or even to hang
tliem up to the roof in the wire suspend-
ers.— 1 lorticultnral Advertiser.

country. Tlie range consists of eight
short-roof Dietsch houses L*50 feet long,

of mums as an experiment. They have

again next year. ;Miller Pros., by the
way, does not mean two or tliroc, but
six, and all in working trim. Xo sur-
l>lus flesh about any of them ; tlie eighty '
odd acres of market garden keens them
in good training.

Mrs. John V/right put up two short-
span Dietsch houses about 300 feet long \
this season, for lettuce and vegetables. I

The Scottwood Greenhouse had a 100-
foot bench of poinsettias in fine shape
for Thanksgiving, the bracts measuring
fifteen to twenty inches across. Their
Lorraine begonias are fine.

At Heinl 's place in West Toledo
everything looks good except one house
of Meteor roses. Mums were wound up
here for Thanksgiving. One bench of
1,200 poinsettias will be fine by Christ-
mas.

fine.

The place of E. Darke, who movc<l
from East Proadway to West Toledo,
has reverted to the original owners and
the improvements made by iSIr. Darke
went with the place. S. N. Peck bought
the loose material, such as glass, pipes
and lumber, and intends to use it in
building houses next spring.

services. The stage was handsomely
decorated with palms and a profusion of
southern smilax and cut mums were used
in the draping of the background, also
large bunches of cut flowers at the differ-
ent stations on the stage. Pusiness was

NEV YORK.

The Market

Everybody seems contented among
the wholesalers. Prices steady ; demand
insistent from the retail section, that
real pulse of the market, and there was
no surplus, unless it might be found
in the violet department. There was a
large residue of "left overs" from
Thanksgiving, which the street mer-
chants were hawking on Saturday at 25
cents to 35 cents a bunch.

Meanwhile roses and carnations have
awakened to their real values and, mums
having gone into winter quarters, assert
their independence and demand what
they are really worth. Everything
worth while was sold early Saturday
evening. Some Beauties of the highest
grade touched 50 cents each. Some
Maids and Brides were $10 per hundred.
Looks like old times again. This week
opens clear and cold, fine winter
weather, and society is busy with recep-
tions and dinners innumerable.

Orchids seem to be the flower for the
palpitating bosoms of the "select."
They have never been used so largely.
A retailer without an abundant supply
on hand is quickly relegated to the
ranks of the "has beens. " I noticed
in McManus' wholesale windows last
week phalaenopsis, .odontoglossum, van-
das, oncidiums, lajlias, dendrobiums,
cyps and eattleyas and I may have
missed some varieties. It's the old
story; supply creates demand and the
call comes to New York from every
city in the land.

Lilies are abundant. Ford Bros, re-
ceived one day last week 215 dozen.
Seldom a day when 150 dozen do not
arrive. Plenty of hyacinths and nar-
cissi are here and valley is abundant.

Carnations are glorious in quality and
bring good prices.

Various Notes.

The ball of the wholesale florists'
employees takes place January 13 at the
Amsterdam opera house. An elaborate
poster adorns the walls of all the whole-
sale houses. Some fifty names appear
as officers, patrons, managers, etc. It
will be a big affair and boxes are re-
served for the trade in abundance. The
principal officers are Nicholas C.
Schreiner, president; Charles Matthews,
vice-president; John Foley, treasurer;
Elmer Greatfield, financial secretary;
John Egenbrod, recording secretary;
Arthur Wiese, sergeant-at-arms ; George
Hildebrand, chairman of trustees; W.
Scheen, chairman of the reception com-
mittee.

Out at Great Neck, in addition to
Mr. Fischer and his Abundance, several
other growers for the New York market
have excellent greenhouse plants. John
Matthews has three big houses newly
built devoted to rose growing. Mr.
Adams, who is a member of the Cut
Flower Exchange, has five houses well
filled with a general line and is doing
a good local trade as well as visiting
New York weekly with a general assort-
ment. He has been in Great Neck for
twenty-two years.

It's a little early, but everybody is
already talking Christmas. Two weeks
from Monday and the great day of the
year arrives. After all there is no time
to be lost. In a few days the air down
town will be charged with the sweet
perfume of the evergreens from the
Adirondacks and the Catskills. You

can't kill the Christmas tree business as
long as the stork is busy.

In the death of his mother George
Hildebrand has the sympathy of his
many friends.

The Flower Market is no more. This
isn't the Cut Flower Market in the Coo-
gan building, you know, nor the old one
at Thirty-fourth street, nor is it the
Plant Market down town, nor does it
mean that great center from Twenty-
sixth to Thirtieth streets. This, is the
one I wrote about a year ago, up on
West Forty-fourth street, heralded by a
fiery charger and a man with a trumpet,
you remember. It was an "organiza-
tion of leading growers, ' ' where the
clerks were clothed in blue blouses, just
like * ' Lunnen, don 't cher know, ' ' and
lots of boxes were piled up with out-of-
town addresses on them. It was "to do
away with the profits of the jobbers
and wholesale dealers, ' ' and it really
must have done away with somebody's
profits, for the Fleischman Floral Co.
announces that it has bought the place
for $750,000! It is to be consolidated
with their new Fifth avenue store and
this magnificent piece of financing was
accomplished without even jarring the
littlest flower shop in New York.

Joe Manda, of South Orange, has the
orchid fever and has bought the Japan
ese Nursery Co. 's plant at West Orange
to take charge next spring. He is com-
petent to make this a success and his
friends all wish him a paying venture.

I met Paul Pierson, of Scarboro, on
the subway Monday night and he told
me some of his Beauties brought 60
cents that day. I told him it would
never do to quote that as a market price
and he admitted that he had seen some
mighty fine stock go as low as 25 cents,
so there you are.

Van Praag's new store at 1207
Broadway looks very neat and he is de-
lighted with the encouragement of his
first week's venture. Ed Ladiges, for-
merly with the Fleischman Co., is first
lieutenant here. Mr. Roetke, lately with
the same company, is back in line at tho
Fifth avenue store of the Thos. Young
Co. Mr. Hanft is no longer with this
company.

Mr. Karbmuller, for a long time
with Stumpp, at Fifth avenue and
Fifty-seventh street, is now with Fleisch-
man at his Forty-third street store.

Charles Millang is preparing for u
big cut flower trade at Christmas by
turning his conservatory into a branch
of his wholesale department.

Messrs. Donaldson and Purdy, of the
Dutchess County Violet Co., are visiting
their Ehinebeck violet growers this week.
The company is more than satisfied with
the business to date. The store is above
the Sigmund Geller Co. and silk violet
curtains are in keeping with their spe-
cialty.

Starke & Kleine are building a con-
servatory back of their store in time
for a big Christmas plant trade which
they not only anticipate but have al-
ready established.

Julius Lang, who proved himself a
prophet at the election by predicting the
victory of Jerome, is now wagering his
reputation on the triumph of McClellan
for the mayoralty.

Cotsonas & Co. had a big shipment
of southern wild smilax this week and
a big force here and in all tho green
goods establishments are busy with
Christmas wreathing.

A fire between Twenty-ninth and

Thirtieth streets on Sixth avenue, close
to the wholesale section, on Monday
evening, varied the monotony of the
week's busiest night, when the growers'
checks aggregating a little less than a
million dollars go out in shoals to the
toilers in the greenhouses. Fortunately
the blaze was confined to the eating
house where it originated and the sign-
ing of the checks went steadily on.

The Grand opera house last week
had quite a serious fire and the Florists'
Club's cozy rooms were in great danger
of annihilation for a time.

The Bowling Club is still "hanging
fire" and while Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Washington, Chicago and even Flatbush
are full of enthusiasm over the health-
ful and popular sport this big metro-
politan aggregation of representative
florists find it impossible to get together.

The Florists ' Club 's annual election
takes place next Monday night, Decem-
ber 11. Every member should be on
hand. J. Austin Shaw.

PITTSBUHG.

The Market

Thanksgiving, that day when all good
American citizens should give thanks, has
come and gone, but I doubt if some of
the trade gave thanks in the weather
we experienced the past week, pouring
rain until Wednesday night, when it
turned in cold. Business was very good,
possibly as good in some respects as last
year, but nearly all the stores report the
small sales which figure so largely on
such days were lost, as people were not
out, unless compelled to be, and then did
not stop to look for flowers. Violets
sufi'ered especially, as none were bought
to be worn.

Chrysanthemums, which had been
scarce for a week before, were very
plentiful. Some of the growers who
could not be persuaded to send stock in
when it was badly needed, had an abun-
dance for Thanksgiving, when it did not
bring as good a price as the week pre-
vious. It is only another evidence that
the grower knows more about the market
than the wholesaler, who tries occasion-
ally to advise him when to send in his
stock, and not hoard it up for a holiday.
Beauties were very plentiful and cheap
as well as roses which were in abun-
dance. In fact, there was plenty of
everything.

Various Notes.

Alex Nelson, who has been ill and in
the hospital most of the fall, is again
able to be about. He is looking very
well, but is still unable to take up heavy
work.

David Geddis will open a new store
next Saturday, in Homestead. He says
that there is more money earned and
paid to the people of Homestead than
in any other town of five times the
population and thinks it the best open-
ing in sight. He will have an up-to-date
store, with all the appointments of a city
store, and hopes to reach a class of trade
that has been coming into the city here-
tofore.

The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. says it
handled the finest stock of violets
Thanksgiving that has ever come into
this city, and yet owing to the bad
weather were compelled to sell them at
an unusually low price for a holiday.

The store of Walker & McLean, of
Youngstown, O., is in the hands of a re-
ceiver, until the firm can come to an
agreement for dissolution. Mr. Walker

was in the city last Wednesday, looking
for a good man to take charge of the
design work and decorating,

Billy Loew, the green goods man, is
using a cane, the result of an acrobatic
feat of grand and lofty tumbling; noth-
ing serious, however.

We take pleasure in announcing that
Ed McCollum, of the Pittsburg Florists '
Exchange, has made good as a football
player. His club was defeated only once
this season.

President Phil Langhans and his active
committee have arranged ' * large doings ' '
for the club smoker Tuesday night.

H. P. Joslin has purchased a four-acre
plot of ground in Ben Avon, on which he
expects to raise summer blooming stock.

Wm. O'Brien, known among the boys
as "Chicago," who has a flower trade
among the bankers' and brokers' of-
fices, is just getting around with a
stick after a stiff argument with a trol-
ley car.

L. L. Lockhart, who was formerly with
Walker «& McLean, Youngstown, is
opening a retail store in that city.

Hoo-Hoo.

DETROIT.

The Market.

Everyone is wearing a satisfied smile,
as Thanksgiving business was very good.
Cupid seems to have gotten in his work
the past month, as everyone was more
than rushed with wedding orders for
Thanksgiving eve.

Koses and chrysanthemums sold very
well and at a good price. Carnations
were completely sold out. They are still
very scarce on the market, bringing $3
to $4 per hundred at present. Violets
did not sell very well, as compared with
other years, cold windy weather proba-
bly being the reason, although the high
price scared a good many prospective
buyers away, the market price ranging
from $1.50 to $2.50 per hundred. A
good many have found their way to
the furnace and rubbish pile since.

Holiday Prices.

It is a pity the growers and whole-
salers do not wake up and, instead of
charging such high prices for their stock
at every special occasion, if they were
kept Vfithin reason it would be much bet-
ter for everyone concerned. It is not
only the loss of the fiowers that are
thrown away after a holiday, but a detri-
ment to business, as a good many people
get into the habit of buying other things
as they are afraid to even ask the price
of flowers.

Speaking of high prices, a very fine
lady came into one of our well known
flower stores Thanksgiving day and after
pricing the different flowers she placed
an order for several dozen mums. Then
looking at the lady behind the counter
she pointed to her neck and said, "What
IS that around your neck?" She replied
^'Why, a necklace; what did you think
It was?" "Well," the customer said,

everything is so awful high here I
thought probably it was one of your
garters. ' '

Variota Notes.

The store and greenhouses of the late
Henry Flammer have been purchased by
•'^•■^- Fetters, formerly of Cleveland.

J. F. Sullivan is again at home, after
about a month of traveling.

John Breitmeyer's Sons have issued

A TEXAS DESIGN.

Will B. Munson, Denison, Tex.,
writes as follows under date of Decem-
ber 1:

* ' Taking advantage of your published
invitation to send photographs of any
thing interesting, I am sending to you
today a photograph of a large crescent
wreath, four feet in diameter, mounted
on an easel used for supporting large
and heavy pictiires. It may be nothing
new in the way of designs, but the in-
teresting part, and especially to the
northern florists, is the fact that the de-
sign was made on Thanksgiving day
and all the flowers used in it were
grown outdoors. The roses ana clirysan-
themums were strictly outdoor-grown
flowers, and the carnations came from
the benches, but the doors or ventilators
had not at any time been closed. How
many in the north on Thanksgiving day
can boast of having such beautiful flow-
ers from outdoors? The same day this
design was made, for the funeral of our
late city attorney, several others were
also made. However, they were tue last
for the season for that night we had a
killing frost and had to close our houses
and build the first fires."

GRAND RAPIDS, MICH.

Extremely dark, stormy weather cur-
tailed the carnation cut to such an ex-
tent that supply was way below the
demand at Thanksgiving, boosting
prices almost beyond the reach of the
ordinary buyer. Thanksgiving trade
was fine, all that could be desired. The
carnation shortage helped use up more
roses and mums than would otherwise
have been the case. A good many Bos-
ton ferns were sold, which reminds me
that the town is just teeming with Bos-
tons and the way they sell is very grati-
fying. As a whole it was the best
Thanksgiving trade ever experienced
here and prices higher than heretofore.
It is an increase of over fifteen per
cent over last year.

Miss Hartnett has opened a flower
store in the W^onderly building, and re-
ports a very good trade for her first
Thanksgiving. G. F. C.

Landisville, Pa.— J. M. Trout has re-
tired from business.

DALLAS, TEXAS.

Business has been very good with
everybody here. We have been cutting
some very fine roses out of doors until
Thanksgiving. There were some very
fine mums grown here and they sold at
fair prices, too. Carnations are doing
well and sell good. There will be a
number of greenhouses built here in
Dallas in the near future.

Wm. p. Hilgert.

Fulton, Mo. — J. W. Mclntire has
this season increased his glass to 8,000
feet.

VICTORY

The best scarlet carnation— requires oniy ordinary culture

BOSTON.

The Market.

Weather conditions were very erratic
last week. On November 29 a fierce storm
accompanied by high temperatures pre-
vailed and this had a somewhat depress-
ing effect on business. Thanksgiving day
itself was clear and bitingly cold, a forty-
knot breeze and minimum temperature of
8 degrees above zero being recorded. In
spite of rather unfavorable conditions
the market cleaned out remarkably well,
no good stock being unsold. Chrysanthe-
mums made their closing courtesy in
quantities. Prices varied from $8 to $16
per hundred, a few going higher. Quite
a number of the blooms were, as one
florist remarked, old enough to vote.

Roses made no particular advance
and were rather hard to sell, short stock
especially so. Beauties, Liberty, Rich-
mond, KUlarney and Wellesley sold well,
Brides and Maids poorly. Carnations,
with the exception of white, which were
over-abundant, sold well. Good ordinary
stock made $2.50 to $3, specials $4 and
such varieties as Enchantress, Fenn,
Fiancee and Helen Goddard $5 to $6.
Violets made all the way from 75 cents
to $1.50, a large proportion bringing $1.
Bulbous stock, valley and other flowers
were practically unchanged. There was
a very good sale for pot plants, such as
Lorraine begonias, poinsettias, cyclamen,
Chinese primroses and berried plants.

Since Thanksgiving the supplies com-
ing in have been rather light and prices
have kept up well, especially in the case
of carnations. Such chrysanthemums as
are now coming in are small. Mrs. Je-
rome Jones, Bonnaffon and Merry
Christmas are among the best sellers.
Violets clean up very well, but roses are
still a little slow.

Horticultural Society.

A well attended children 's garden con-
ference was held at Horticultural hall on
December 2. Several excellent addresses
were made. In the school garden contest
first prize went to Cobbet school, Lynn;
second prize to Mill Garden, Groton;
third to Lincoln school, Brookline, while
Fairhaven school and Sewall school,
Brookline, were commended. There were
numerous entries in the home garden
competition. Small greenhouses heated
by surplus steam from the school boilers
were advocated by one of the speakers.

The following awards have been made
by the garden committee: First prize for
house of chrysanthemums grown on
benches, to M. F. Plant, T. W. Head,
gardener. Peony gardens, first, Dr. C. S.
Minot; second. Dr. R. T. Jackson. Bronze
medal to Robert Roulston for herba-
ceous garden. Vegetable garden, first,
E. L. Lewis; second, Edward Parker.
Estate of Mrs. John L, Gardner, Wm.
Thatcher, gardener, was favorably re-
ported upon for the second year and M.

F. Plant estate, T. W. Head, gardener,
for the first year for the Hunnewell
triennial premiums. The greenhouses of
Geo. F. Fabyan, James Stuart gardener,
were especially commended.

The plant and flower committee for
1906 consists of A. H. Fewkes, chairman;
James Wheeler, Wm. Nicholson, Robert
Cameron and W. N. Craig. There are
but slight changes in the committees.

Various Notes.

The heavy storm of wind and rain
which prevailed in this section on No-
vember 29 wrecked two of the large
greenhouses, each 40x300, recently erected
by the Halifax Garden Co., at Halifax,
Mass. Fears were felt for the safety
of the other houses, but they withstood
the gale. Two men were seriously in-

of

jured who were working in one of the
demolished houses. The damage exceed-
ed $10,000. A. C. Burrage, the owner,
gave orders to rebuild as soon a? possi-
ble.

Thomas Pegler, salesman for Oscar L.
Dorr, is handling thousands of very fine
Campbell violets daily at the Park street
market. Mr. Dorr has 23,000 plants of
this violet.

A. Roper, of Tewksbury, the origina-
tor of Fair Maid and other popular car-
nations, has some fine seedlings coming
on. One is much superior to Fair Maid.
Another is a very fine scarlet. These
will be seen at the coming carnation con-
vention. His variety, Chester Roper,
the most prolific of all variegated carna-
tions, is this season surpassing even last
year's records in flower production.

Robert Montgomery, of South Natick,
has a fine lot of poinsettias for Christ-
mas. He finds Richmond rose all right.

The finest double violets coming into
the Boston market at present are from
Malcolm Orr, of Saugus. These are of
superb quality. Mr. Orr is well known
as a producer of high grade sweet peas
under glass.

Reports of merit were awarded at the
last meeting of the Gardeners' and
i'lorists' Club to Wm. Nicholson, for
mignonette; Patten & Co., for Carna-
tion Pink Pattern; H. H. Barrows &
Son, for Nephrolepis Whitman! and
Peter Fisher for seeding scarlet carna-
tion No. 408.

James Farquhar sailed for Porto
Rico on December 2, where he will spend
the winter on his firm's new nursery.

N. F. McCarthy & Co. held an auction

Welch Bros, are receiving some grand
Queen of Edgely and Beauty roses. Their
receipts of other roses are now heav^
and the quality excellent. They are mak-
ing active preparations for Christmas
trade in holly, mistletoe and other green-
ery.

The Gardeners' and Florists' Club will
hold a field day at Wm. Nicholson's,
Framingham, on December 16. Every-
thing points to a banner attendance on
ladies' night, December 19. A double
quartet will furnish music and other good
things are being arranged for.

Prof. C. S. Sargent and his son sailed
last week for an extended tour in Chili,.
Argentine Republic and other South
American points, their object being an
arboricultural study. The sea voyage will
occupy fifty days and several months will
be spent in travel.

Newtonville Greenhouses are again
sending in very fine Bon Silene and Sa-
frano roses to the Park street mL«rket.
Their salesman, Fred Crowley, says they
are worth more than Brides and Maids
and they cannot begin to fill their orders
for them,

Frank White, of Holbrook, is market-
ing quantities of high grade mignonette.

The souvenir catalogue, soon to be is-
sued by the Park street market, promises
to be a winner. It will abound in attrac-
tive features, one being a history of
the flower business in Boston. It will h&
profusely illustrated. A copy will be
presented to every visitor to the carna-
tion convention.

Mrs. W. H. Ward, of Montvale, is
bringing in some extra fine fancy carna-
tions to the Park street market.

Helen Goddard carnation is in great
demand at the stores. Its color is just'
what buyers want and it has proven its
keeping qualities beyond every question.

H. M. Robinson & Co. are receiving
some big consignments of holly, mistle-
toe, laurel and other Christmas greenery
and anticipate the best business in their
history.

Kidder Bros., of Lincoln, are the big-

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

Receipts are considerably reduced this
week. The cold weather has probably
had its effect and it is said by the grow-
ers that rof^e crops are going off, but
there are still abundant supplies of Beau-
ties and tea roses for the demand; in
fact short Brides and Maids are still a
drug. Carnations have also shortened
up but are equal to the requirements, ex-
cept that red is scarce. White varieties
are especially abundant and hard to clean
up.

Chrysanthemums are approaching the
end of their season and in some houses
receipts are very light but there are still
quantities of good blooms coming in and
not moving very briskly. Tuesday the
market was very quiet. The call for
green goods is good, with plenty of as-
paragus strings but a shortage of plu-
mosus bunches. Smilax is also in mod-

erate receipt. All other greens are plen-
tiful.

Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving did not equal the ex-
pectations of the trade and possibly the
retailers were more greatly disappointed
than the wholesalers. The bad weather
of the day itself was a large factor in
c-utting down their business.

Thanksgiving came after a two weeks'
glut. We usually have a period of too
abundant supplies early in November
but this time it came at the end of the
month. Long Beauties were cleaned up
only at a concession. First-class tea roses
moved freely, but it was impossible to
sell all the short and weak-stemmed
stock. White carnations did not clean
up, but the fancy stock, especially in
colors, brought quoted prices. (Jhrysaii-
themums shared the general weakness.
The one item that was short of the de-
mand was the red rose, both Richmond
and Liberty being in strong request.

Taken on the whole the week 's business
was about the same as last year, where
a good increase had been expected. No-
vember as a whole shows a nice gain and
there was stock enough for a good in-
crease at Thanksgiving had the demand
been as active as was expected. But
average prices were not so good as last
year.

Violets.

The principal complaint among com-
mission men is as to the result of violets
for Thanksgiving. For two weeks be-
fore the holiday the New York producers
were excusing light shipments on the
score of a strong New York City demand
and light crops. Conditions must have
reversed very suddenly, for the re-

ceipts on Monday, Wednesday and
Thursday run into the hundreds of
thousands. So disastrous a slump in
prices has never before been known in
the local violet market. Where prices
started at $1.50 to $2 per hundred for
good Hudson river stock, they closed at
$2 per thousand, and not even all the re-
ceipts could be sold at that price. One
wholesaler reports selling 22,000 to one
customer at $3.50 per thousand and
many cheaper sales are on record. Many
retailers who bought largely, turned the
flowers back to the commission men to
be sold for their account. This was when
the weather turned unfavorable. It
shows that the retailers' experience was
as unsatisfactory as that of the whole-
salers. Some violets received were very
stale.

Various Notes.

Two years ago, in his quest for knowl-
edge as to how things go in the various
branches of the trade, E. C. Amling
bought a retail flower store near his
home in Oak Park. He advertised exten-
sively, carried good stock and plenty of
it at all times and more than doubled
the business. He says it was a valuable
post-graduate course (he had primary
training as a grower), but he is now
satisfied to devote all his energies to
his wholesale business and has sold the
retail store to A. H. Schneider, who was
its former owner.

N. .T. Wietor says he is well satisfied
with Thanksgiving. A big crop of Beau-
ties enabled him to increase his sales.

family have been reduced to four by the

died at Kiverside on December 2 at
the ripe old age of 87 years. She had
been very feeble ever since her fall of
last spring. The funeral was held on
Tuasday.

Kennicott Bros. Co. had the ill luck
to lose one Thanksgiving shipment of
chrysanthemums because of frost. Tues-
day saw the temperature up to 68 de-
grees and Wednesday found it 18 de-
grees. One of George Bayer's incoming
cases from Toledo was caught with in-
sufficient wrappings and 300 fine Bon-
naffons were black when unpacked.

Frank Schramm, of Park Bidge, is
just beginning to cut satisfactorily. He
did a great amount of rebuilding last
season and was late in getting his place
planted, but everything is now in fine
shape and promising well for spring.

L. A. Tonner has quit business at the

is expected.

Peter Keinberg thinks Uncle John is
one of the best roses on the place. He,
is cutting heavily. Liberty is also giv-
ing very fine results at present.

Peter Eeinberg left Monday evening
for Newton, 111., as Leonard Kill says,
hunting for quail.

Poehlmann Bros. Co. is cutting large
numbers of late chrysanthemums and
quality is excellent.

One of the week's visitors was Miss
Ida L. Chittenden, of Lansing, Mich.
Miss Chittenden is known as one of the
most successful violet growers in the
west. She has grown Marie Louise with
uniformly good results for ten years.

Weiland & Eisch are now cutting Kil-
larney in quantity and of very good
quality. They report orders coming from
long distances for this rose, showing
that it will be in demand in other mar-
kets when it can be supplied. It certainly
is a very popular novelty. And Welles-
ley is also in good shape and selling well.

The Market.

Thanksgiving trade among the retail-
ers and wholesalers was about the same
as in former years, though some say that
their business was very much better, and
others say not as much. Prices were very
much lower than in former years and this
made the life of the wholesaler full of
care and trouble. They all had plenty
of stock in all grades. All of the high
grade stock sold readily at quoted prices,
but the poorer stock sold at low prices.
That was especially the case with roses,
of which there were more than the trade
could handle, and are so yet, as good
stock sold Saturday as low as $2 per hun-
dred.

Carnations sold well at good prices.

plentiful for Thanksgiving. Since then
they have decreased greatly and will
soon be a thing of the past. Violets were

spent a day in the city the past week.

J. J. Karins, representing H. A. Dreer,
Philadelphia, called on the trade last
week.

Thomas Longwortn, a landscape gar-
dener in the employ of Julius Pitzmann,
uropped dead while at work for the

Park View Real Estate Co. the past
week. Mr. Longworth was well known
among the trade. He was 48 years of
age and leaves a wife and daughter.

A runaway which might have seriously
injured Miss Schnell and Miss Tillie
Meinhardt, two of our lady florists, was
prevented by Charlie Schoenle, who
sprang at the horse's head when he was
at full speed. It happened in front of
G. A. Kuehn's and the crowd congratu-
lated Mr. Schoenle for his bravery.

Charles Richards, well known to the
trade, having been employed at one of
the wholesale houses, was seriously hurt
last week in a new building at Sixth and
Washington avenue.

Wm. Lingenbrink, formerly in business
here, has returned and will open an auto-

Fred C. Weber reports very good
business for Thanksgiving. His store
and show house were well filled with fine

George Waldbart had a great display

The place was tastefully decorated with
blooming plants and did a rushing busi-
ness.

Hugo Gross, of Kirkwood, was married
last week to Miss Freda Bruno. Mr,
Gross is a member of the club and a large
consignor of carnations and violets to
this market. Congratulations are in
order.

Mr. Steineke, of Old Orchard, Mo.,
died on Sunday. He was the father of
R. Steineke, the well known grower of
that place, who has many friends in the
trade who sympathize with him.

Our wholesalers, Kuehn, Ellis. Anger-
niueller and Berning, all report a big-
trade, both local and shipping for
Thanksgiving. Stock was of the best but
prices not as high as in former years,
owing to stock being very plentiful.

Beneke third, 477; Kuehn next, 473 and

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market

The cut flower market has experienced
one of those sudden changes made pos-
sible by the centralization of the sup-
ply. The advance in prices of choice
flowers just previous to Thanksgiving
was remarkable. This advance has been
sustained. Values of Beauties, Liber-
ties and several other roses are double
those of ten days ago. Carnations, par-
ticularly Enchantress, are also worth
twice as much as on November 25. The
changes in other items on the list are
less marked but the whole tone of the
market is much better, and the returns
will average nearer to listed quotations
than at any time during the fall.
Thanksgiving business was very satis-
factory. Chrysanthemums were used in
large numbers and have practically dis-
appeared. It will be possible to secure
some of these flowers throughout De-
cember, and in the early days of Janu-
ary, but their number is ao limited that
no wholesaler cares to guarantee deliv-
ery in quantity. Gardenias have short-
ened in supply and advanced in price.
Valley and cattleyas in greater and
lesser degrees are plentiful. Violets
continue in active demand, with supply
of the better grades short. Carnations
are one of the best items on the list ;
the supply is about equal to that of two
weeks ago, but the demand is so great
that they seem very scarce. Romans
and Paper Whites are plentiful and of
good quality. Bouvardia is unusually
plentiful and seems popular.

The first German in Baltimore, on
Monday, called for a fair amount of
choice roses, violets, orchids and lilies
of the valley. Flowers were not per-
mitted at the opening of the Fifty-ninth
Congress in Washington on the same
day and this market felt the effect.

Another New Rose.

Victor Roekens, of Glenside, has a
new rose that appears to be meritorious.
^ is saffron-colored, about half way be-
tween the yellow of Perle and the deeper
hue of Sunrise. Mr. Roekens says it
came to him with a lot of Perles and
he does not know whether it is a sport

or a cross. It has a straight stem,
differing from Perle in its freedom from
furze and from a crook near the neck
of the flower. The buds are large and
well formed and the plant is said to be
vigorous. Mr. Roekens has been told
that another grower has practically the
same thing.

From Btida-Pesth.
A local seedsman has received a let-
ter from a correspondent in tha capital
of Austria-Hungary asking whether the
bags used for holding American seeds
are dipped in some preparation distaste-
ful to mice and rats. He states that he
has noticed that these animals have at-
tacked bags containing European seed
while passing by those in which the
American product was packed. He there-
fore presumes they must be in some way
medicated, and asks the prescription.
The local seedsman was quite unable to

furnish this, doubting that there is any
such preventive used. Possibly some of
the readers of the Review can throw
light on the subject.

Rome.

An American, who has spent some
time in Italy, draws a picture of the
florists' business in the Italian capital
which may be of interest to some of the
Review readers. The flower shops in
Rome are rather uninviting from an
American standpoint. They are poorly
furnished, with but little attempt at dis-
play. The floral center is on the steps
of the principal church, where quite a
large and attractive display is made.
There are no Habermehls or Grahams in
Rome; their places are taken by simple
countrymen who bring their own prod-
ucts and some outside flowers to sell in
the open air. The bunches are all loose-
ly made up, with the addition, unfortu-

46. — Can you give us any information
as to care and time of forcing Erica
herbacea ?

Erica herbacea (or carnea) white and
pink, can be had from any Holland nur-
sery firm. If imported in the fall the
plants should be potted and kept in a
cool house, 40 to 45 degrees. After
February 1 it can, if wanted, be moved
into 55 to 60 degrees, which will bring
it into bloom in two or three weeks. It
is at its best for Easter kept at the
original temperature, 40 to 45 degrees,
which will bring it about right, and the
color will be better. H. D. Darlington
says he has found importing it in the
spring and either planting out with aza-
leas or kept in pots, potted in leaf-mold
or peat, to be a better plan. They set bud
better and can be forced earlier, but
even then he has not been able to get it
for Christmas. Phil.

TARRYTOWN, N. Y.

At the regular monthly meeting of

November 28 only about twenty mem-

bers and one active member were elected

This large number of nominations shows
an increasing interest very encouraging
to the society. No doubt the recent
very successful flower show was a help-
ful factor in prompting quite a few of
those whose names were proposed.

The principal business was the nomi-
nation of officers for the ensuing year.

WASHINGTON.

When Congress convened on Monday
the rule against flowers in the two
houses was enforced and the florists who
had orders were required to deliver them
to the homes of members. There were
scores of such orders, but there will
probably be less each year as knowledge
of the rule spreads and it means at each
session a loss of several thousands of
dollars to the trade.

The Thanksgiving business was be-
hind the last previous years. In all prob-
ability the weather was the greatest fac-
tor. Flowers of all kinds were very
plentiful, especially mums, which were a
drug on the market. Violets were scarce
but equal to the demand.

ELMIRA, N. Y.

Trade took quite a jump during
Thanksgiving week, the craft having
their hands full trying to keep up with
orders. Mums were in great demand
and were cleaned up early on Wednes-
day. They realized good prices. Roses
were equal to the demand, which waa
jood, especially for fieauties and Eich-
aonds. Beauties brought from $4 to $6
oer dozen wholesale, Eichmonds, $4 to
$12 per hundred, and other roses $4
to $8.

Carnations were in great demand but
scarce and brought from $2 to $4.50
per hundred. The crops were strangely
slow in coming and were a good two
weeks late for the occasion. There are
some excellent crops in view, most of
which will be in fine condition for the

Asparagus and smilax were plentiful

Altogether trade compares favorably

CLEVELAND.

The Market.

Thanksgiving trade was larger and
better in every way than that of last
year, and the only shortage was on car-
nations. However, all the florists had
some, so they were able to fill their best
orders, and many customers were per-
suaded to take something else. There
seemed to be just enough mums to fill
the orders, and judging from the scarc-
ity of them from that time to date, all
the growei-s are pretty well cut out.
Roses of all kinds seemed to be back
numbers, and there were only a few
calls for them.

All of the retail stores had very
pretty display windows and everybody
was busy. The Cleveland Cut Flower
Oo. reports business twenty per cent
better than last year, and all orders
filled.

It rained all day Wednesday, but
turned colder Wednesday night, and
snowed, clearing up on Thursday, which
was an ideal Thanksgiving day. Since
then we have been having good winter
weather, which is sure to shorten up the
cut and raise prices. Roses are back to
the old prices, $4, $6 and $8 ; carnations,
$2, $3 and $4; violets 75 cents to $1.25
per hundred.

Varioui Notes.

Among the recent callers, were B.
Eschner, of Philadelphia, who did not
look as well as usual, but he was just
as persuasive as ever, and departed with
many orders for Christmas supplies.

Geo. H. Bowditch, superintendent of
the I^imborn Floral Co., Alliance, O.,

spent Saturday and Sunday calling on
friends in the trade. His firm has built
a number of large modern houses for
roses and carnations, and expects to
double the plant next year. Mr. Bow-
ditch was formerly with Poehlmann
Bros. Co., Chicago.

Mr. Miller, of Salem, O., was in town
last week, renewing acquaintances. He
is proprietor of the Bonsell range of
houses and is growing carnations for the
wholesale market.

CINONNATL

The Market.

Thanksgiving trade was very satisfac-
tory and though I cannot say that it
was much larger than last year, yet no
one has any complaints to make. There
was a good supply of nearly all varieties
of flowers and all sold equally well. For
a while it looked as if there would be a
big shortage of violets, but several large
shipments arrived late and the price,
which had been held at $1, was quickly
cut in half. Roses and carnations were
in good supply and mums were out in
force and sold out clean.

The days of the mum are now fast
passing. Large flowers are gone. A
good demand continues and prices are
good. I suppose that some growers will
be cutting mums till after the holi-
days. Roses are slackening up and
prices are advancing. The stock is of
fine quality. Carnations are none too
plentiful and are correspondingly high.
Wc are looking for a fair crop for the
holidays. Violets are in much larger
supply and are selling first class. Val-
ley and narcissi are going well. Some

fine adiantum is being received. Smilax
and asparagus are in good supply and
demand.

Various Notes.

The regular meeting of the Florists'
Society will be held Saturday, Decem-
ber 9, at 7:30 p. m. There will be busi-
ness of vital importance to every Cin-

Seed Trade News.

AMERICAN SEED TRADE ASSOCIATION.

Pres., W. H. Grenell, Sagrlnaw, W. S., Mien.;
First Vice- Pres., L. L. May, St. Paul; Sec'y and
Treas., C. E. Kendel, Cleveland. The 24th annual
meetiner will be held at San Jose, Cal., June, 1906.

Watkins & Simpson, London, have
sent the x\merican trade a surplus list of
peas of their own growing.

M. B. Faxon, formerly of Boston and
later employed at Newport, is now with
the Livingston Seed Co., Columbus, O.

Sluis & Groot, Enkhuizen, Holland,
are sending the American trade a large
sheet showing in colors their new Cin-
eraria grandiflora maxima nana.

Of the twenty-two ex-presidents of
American Seed Trade Associatipn, eight-
een are living. Those who have passed
away are E. A. Eobbins, C. H. B. Breck,
G. S. Haskell and T. W. Wood.

The Union Trust Co., Indianapolis,
receiver for J. A. Everitt, has sold to
George H. Swain the branch store known
as the Vale Seed Co. Mr. Swain will
continue the business under the original
name.

THE GRASS SEED MARKET.

Henry Nungesser & Co. have issued
their annual blue list, containing the fol-
lowing on crops and prices:

The crop of orchard grass was far below an
average one, and qualities very disappointing,
seed being light and chaffy. Thus, In recleanlng
the seed, there was considerable loss, which
makes the prices of the better qualities rather
high.

Tlie crop of Kentuclsy blue grass was very
small. However, considerable seed was carried
over from last season, and prices are still not
high.

Reports from the clover-producing districts all
over the world state there Is a short crop. Of
course, there Is a great deal of speculation in
this seed, and for this reason the prices will be
governed somewhat by speculation. As It loolcs
to us, we do not expect to see any material
surprises in the marliet, and think about 13 to
13^ cents per pound will rule for first-class
seeds.

A very short crop of crimson clover was har-
vested. Stocks are much reduced and prices are
very firm and high.

The reports from the alfalfa districts are very
Irregular. America, Italy and Austria have very
little seed. However, France, In some sections,
has a good crop, but on account of unfavorable
weather during harvesting qualities are not up
to the standard, especially as to color. We
may also state that Germany does not produce
any alfalfa seed whatever. We will state that
at least ninety-flve per cent of all the alfalfa
harvested contains more or less dodder, and
In offering alfalfa It is the custom the world
over, when not especially stated, that alfalfa
is not cleaned of dodder. We are buying some
under the guarantee "free of dodder," and some
lots we buy In the natural state, which we clean
ourselves. However, It must be distinctly un-
derstood (as is the custom with the most promi-
nent control stations In Europe) that a guaran-
tee under "dodder free" does not mean "abso-
lutely free of dodder." An occasional grain of
dodder will always be found In alfalfa, as so
far It has been Impossible to have It absolutely
free from dodder. A good business has already
been done In alfalfa, and although the market
is at present somewhat easy for medium and
low qualities, the fine qualities are held very
firm and are getting very scarce.

FREE SEEDS.

A Washington dispatch on December
3 stated that "thirty of the leading
seed dealers of the country have sent
President Eoosevelt a petition protest-
ing against the free distribution of seeds
by members of congress, and urging him
to include in his message a paragraph
disapproving the present practice and
recommending that only the intent of the
original act authorizing seed distribu-
tion be the future policy. The intent,
the petition says, was that the seeds
should be obtained from remote corners

NEW SWEET PEAS

•^

EVELYN BYATT

A GORGEOUS
NOVELTY

The most gorgeous colored Sweet Pea yet Ifitroduced. It may be termed a self Oorfifeous,
having a rich orange salmon standard, and falls or wings still a trifle deeper color, giving a
rich, flery orange or deep sunset color to the whole flower, very strilcing and unique. It has
caused quite a sensation wherever shown during the past year. ^

PHYLLIS UNWIN

A GIANT
NOVELTY

I

Color a deep rosy carmine self, the same form as GLADYS UNWIN, with the prettily waved
and bold standard of that variety, but a little larger, producing 3 to 4 flowers on a stem. It
is quite sunproof and perfectly fixed. The stems are long and stout, and it may be described
as A OIASTT IN EV£BT WAT.

Each of above novelties, $14.60 per 100 packets;
$1.75 per doz. (Retail, 26 cents).

I

GLADYS UNWIN l^lfv^.r^*''^

This finest of all Pink Sweet Peas we introduced last season. It is a striking*

and sterling* improvement, quite fixed and distinct, and a

gr»a.t acquisition for Cut Blooms.

OLADTB UHWIN has a very large and bold flower, not hooded, but with a very striking
upright crinl£led or wavy standard, and broad wings. Color, a pale rosy pink. A strilf-
ing feature is that about 75 per cent of the long flower stems are with tour blooms, which
is a most unusual thing in Sweet Peas. It was first raised four years ago, viz., in 1901, and
has kept perfectly true and fixed in character each year since and we have no hesitation
in saying it Is a bona-flde departure in pinks. For market growers especially it cannot be
surpassed, and is just the lovely pink color which is so much in demand. 84.60 per pound.

of the earth unknown to the people of
this country, for the purpose of increas-
ing the wealth of the nation. The pe-
titioners allege that the present practice
is a 'grevious restraint of trade' and
that the United States should abolish the
practice as unfair, as class legislation
antagonistic to a branch of commerce,
and unbecoming a great government."
The President did not mention the seed
distribution in his message,

PANDANUS SEED.

In the matter of a protest by F. B.
Vandegrift & Co. against the assessment
of duty by the collector of customs at
New York, the following statement is
issued :

"The subject of the board's decision
was pandanus seed, classified under the
provision in paragraph 254, tariff act of
1897, for seeds of all kinds not specially
provided for, and claimed by the import-
ers to be free of duty under paragraph
622 as palm nuts. Protest overruled,
the board finding that the pandanus is
not strictly or scientifically a palm, and
there being no evidence showing pan-
danus seed to be commercially known as
palm nuts. ' '

ADULTERATED ALFALFA.

In view of the very great howl which
has gone up at the action of the Depart-
ment of Agriculture in publishing the
names of seedsmen who sold it adulter-
ated alfalfa, a seedsman calls attention
to the address of Prof. J. W. T. Duvel,
of the department, before the American
Seed Trade Association at Alexandria
Bay last June. Prof. Duvel called at-
tention to the fact that 100,000 pounds of
trefoil at less than 5 cents a pound was
imported in March and April of this
year for use as adulterant ; he quoted the
law which made the recent publication
mandatory and said:

"The department takes this oppor-
tunity to call attention again to its of-
fer to tost and report upon samples
sent for that purpose. What you want
to know particularly, as I understand
it, is whether or not your samples are
adulterated. Our experts can tell it at
a mere glance, almost, whether a sample
is adulterated and in five minutes can
tell approximately the amount of the
adulterant and the general value of the
sample. So that we can test the seed
and send you a telegram which you will
receive the same day we get the sample.
The conditions of the trade demand
that the thing be done with the utmost
dispatch, for as soon as you receive the
seed you want to send it out on orders, ' '

GOOD CACTUS DAHLIAS.

In view of the increased interest in
the cactus dahlia, the following notes,
made by a committee of the Royal
Horticultural Society of England, will
be of interest. The members eacli

J60

The Weekly Flonsts^ Review*

December 7, 1905.

selected a list of the best varieties
from the large number under examina-
tion and these varieties appeared on
each list:

Amos Perry — The rich, scarlet flow-
ers are borne on rigid stems well above
the foliage. Height four and one-half
feet.

Cannell's Gem — In this variety the
comparative thinness of the leafage is
a good point, for it allows the bright,
scarlet flowers to be seen to advantage;
it is very floriferous in habit. Height
three and one-half feet.

F. A. Wellesley — An excellent type
of the exhibition cactus dahlia. The
florets are narrow, pointed, crimson-
scdrlet, with cerise shading. Height
three and one-half feet.

King of Siam — A showy variety, the
purple-crimson, well-formed flowers ap-
pearing to considerable advantage
above the foliage. Height three and
one-half feet. .

Mary — A flower of moderate propor-
'tions of the Arachne type, i. e., scarlet
and white. The foliage is exception-
ally sparse, with the result that an
excellent effect is secured. The blos-
soms are produced on short, stiff stems,
and are furnished with buds on each
side, which make it valuable as a cut
flower. Height three and three-fourths
feel.

Mrs, J. S. Brunton — A rich yellow
self. A good type of the exhibition
dahlia, and probably the deepest yel-
low-colored dahlia in the trial. Height
three and one-half feet.

Mrs. John Barker — One of the larg-
est-flpwered varieties in the collection.
Color rosy.-salmon. Height three and
one-half feet.

Peaifee — A self, cream-colored flower,
moderate in size, well-formed, erect
and produced with great freedom on
rigid stems. Height three feet.

Spotless Queen — A pure white flower
of medium size, very freely produced.
An excellent kind either as a garden
plant or for producing cut flowers.
Height two and one-half feet.

Standard Bearer — A showy variety
of rich scarlet, the moderate-sized
flowers being produced with much free-
dom. The habit is bushy and com-
pact. Height three feet.

The Market

The volume of business done Thanks-
giving eanic up to previous years, al-
though it appears that prices ruled some-
what high on some lines, especially car-
nations. More could have been sold had
quotations been a little more attractive
for the buyers early in the week. It
seems to be a mistake to boost prices on
cut flowers for this holiday. Some stock
was held back, especially carnations,
causing an over-supply on the last days
and there was a sharp drop in prices.
This stock could have been worked off at
a much better average price had it been
shipped in regularly prior to Thanksgiv-
ing. The demand for chrysanthemums was
brisk and first class blooms brought a
good figure but there were many small
and inferior flowers on the market. Vio-
lets sold well; quality has been good.
Several large decorations for Thanks-
giving cleaned up considerable green
stock.

Varioui Notes.

The Florists' Club held the regular
meeting Tuesday, December 5, and final
matters pertaining to the recent flower
show were taken up.

Some holly has made its appearance in
this market but indications are that thei-e
will not be an over-supply this year.
Reports are that southern holly is of in-
ferior quality. Bouquet green is coming
in very slowly. This article will be
scarce for the holidays. Incog.

NEW ORLEANS.

After the rush of November 1 and
the excitement of our flower show,
everything is again very quiet, peopli.
seeming to pay no attention to flowers
and plants. Even Thanksgiving did not
revive the trade very much. Koses and
chrysanthemums are plentiful in every
garden around the city. Foliage plants
eell very well at the markets. A few
auction sales made by the Metairie Nur-
series, H. Papworth, manager; P. M.
Chopin and James Newsham, seem to
have brought good results, although
good plants sometimes did not briuy
full value. It may be a good way to
get rid of some surplus stock, but it
does not show the exact state of the
market. The weather is extra warm for
the season. Our spring stock, geraniums,
heliotropes, fuchsias, etc., is pushing
ahead and will be in good condition
even as soon as Christmas.

DENVER.

The Market.

Business conditions certainly warranted
a day of gratitude this year more than
ever before, so much so that it was diffi-
cult to take time for a holiday and espe-
cially so in the florists' line, as the vol-
ume of business done for Thanksgiving
eclipsed all former years. That there
was more of a demand for flowers on
that day than ever before is the report
of all the dealers. The demand exceed-
ed the supply, especially in chrysanthe-
mums and carnations, and the Thanks-
giving rush demonstrated the fact that
carnations are unusually scarce in this
market, though the average quality of
the blooms has never been better at this
season. It takes some season of extra
demand to determine the exact situation
as to crop and the growers are quick
to take advantage of any shortage, and,
therefore, the prices advanced. It is said
that one of the largest shops turned away
city trade at higher prices in order not
to disappoint mail order customers who
were depending upon them.

American Beauties were in great de-
mand, especially the long stems, and
brought good prices. Some selects

brought $8 per dozen and by noon on
Thanksgiving there were none left in
town and there is now a good demand
for them, and they are not plentiful.
The chrysanthemum season is about over
and it is almost impossible to get any
selects. Emil Glauber, of the Montclair
Greenhouses, perhaps had the best cut in
the city, cutting over 4,000 last week.
Violets are still scarce and not very
good and the retailers have had to do
some scurrying to get them at $1 per
hundred. Single violets are popular.
Brides and Maids are in good shape and
bring fairly good prices. Liberty and
Richmond are also very good. Some

selects coming in brought 10 cents and
are much sought after.

Various Notes. .

Several events took place in the social
world the past two weeks which called
for the services of the decorators. The
largest reception was that of the com-
ing out of Miss Shudy. The decorations
were very fine and tasty, in the usual
style of Philip Scott, of the Scott Floral
Co.

But the leading social event of the
past week was the charity ball at the
Brown Palace hotel. No expense was
spared to make it a success in every way.

The Weekly Florists' Review.

The floral decorations were especially
liberal, being done by B. E. Gillis, of the
Park Floral Co.

The Alpha Floral Co. handled more
chrysanthemums for Thanksgiving than
any other house, selling nearly 3,000
blooms during the four days. E. S. K.

PACIFIC COAST.

FILLING FERN DISHES.

The making of fern dishes for the
holiday trade should not be neglected
at this time, as I have found that these
for the past fevp seasons have been
among our best selling articles. It is
not necessary to have them growing in
the pans over a couple of weeks before
the assortment is ready for sale, unless
lycopodium is used with the ferns, in
which case it should be given several
weeks longer to get it well started. This
also requires some extra heat, and in
California, unless the weather is very
severe, it is unnecessary to place fern
dishes of any kind in a temperature
higher than that given to cold houses.

There is considerable disadvantage in
using delicate plants in fern dishes for
ordinary trade. They live such a short
time after the purchaser buys them, and
the store man has so much trouble to
keep them looking marketable in his
brief time of handling, that it is more
satisfactory all around to use such
plants as are known to be fairly hardy.
Pans from seven to nine inches in diam-
eter are the best size to fill. Anything
larger or smaller than these can be used
for special occasions, but as a usual
thing they do not sell quickly. A 7-ineh
pan will easily hold half a dozen plants
from 3-inch pots. An 8-inch pan will
accommodate ten plants and a 9-inch
pot will hold from a dozen to eighteen
plants.

For the center plant use a kentia,
areca or a small corypha from a 3-inch
pot. These are all fairly hardy with
us and make a good showing. There
are many ferns that can be used around
the center plant. Adiantum I do not
consider a good plant for this purpose.
It can be grown to much better advan-
tage when alone. Pteris adiantoides, P.
cretica, P, albo-lineata, P, tremula and
P. Wimsetti are all excellent in this
line and in fact most of them make a
much better showing in proportion when
they are small, than when they have
grown larger.

It is not a good plan to use coleus,
primulas, dracaenas, bejronias or any-
thing of a soft nature in combination
with our hardy ferns, although it is
often done, for the reason that the
leaves and flowers soon drop off, the
plants begin to look shabby and then
interest wanes in the rest of the outfit.

Nephrolepis Bostoniensis, Piersoni or
some of the newer varieties make very
effective center plants and are largely
used for that purpose. Asparagus plum-
osus nanus can be used to advantage
Small plants of Cyrtomium falcatum and
Asplenium bulbiferum I have found to
be among our most satisfactory ferns
and seem to be fairly long-lived whc-n
taken away from the greenhouse.

There is a good profit to be made in
this end of the business, and it is sur-
prising what an amount of odds and
ends of stock of such varieties we often
have on hand. If a little taste is used

SAN FRANOSCO.

The Market

Thanksgiving is over and there is
some diversity of opinion among the
dealers as to whether the trade was
equal to expectations. The demand was
principally for yellow mums and red
carnations, although roses were cleaned
up. There was plenty of all kinds of
stock, with the possible exception of
fancy Beauties and Maids. The weather
has been very favorable during the past
week. Violets were in plentiful supply
and carnations were offered in suffi-
cient quantities to fill all requirements.
Red berries were everywhere, and with
some florists represented a goodly por-
tion of the day 's sales.

Strange to say, the growers as a usual
thing did not raise the prices to the re-
tailers on this occasion, and as a result
good profits were the rule, without the
store men having to "cinch" their cus-
tomers.

and the demand for general nursery
stock for the coming season beating all
previous records.

The infinitesimal size of the bunches
of violets delivered to the stores during
Thanksgiving week was freely comment-
ed on by the retailers. It might be a
good plan to sell them by count in-
stead of by the bunch, as at present,
when green leaves form a large propor-

The Weekly Florists' Review*

December 7, 1U06.

VICTORY

The best scarlet carnation— is a fancy in the fullest sense of the word

BALTIMORE.

The Market.

We are now having a more regular
and steady market, and everything is
cleaning up from day to day. Many
more carnations could have been handled
at the Exchange during Thanksgiving
vreek. Eoses are not as plentiful as a
week ago, and prices have advanced on
the better grades. Violets are in good
demand and cleaning up every day.
Paper Whites have put in their appear-
ance, as well as some fine mignonette,
callas and stevia.

Business at Thanksgiving was a little-
ahead of last year and the large num-
ber of weddings caused a big demand
for white roses and white chrysanthe-
mums.

Various Notes.

Slight damages were done by fire to
the greenhouses of ex-Postmaster Gen-
eral J. A. Gary at his country residence,
Catonsville, at which M. Hennegan is
head gardener.

A. A. Niessen, of the Leo Niessen
Co., Philadelphia, was in town the past
week.

Stevenson Bros, exhibited a fine vase
of the two new roses, Killarney and
Richmond, at the last club meeting.

A. F.

Calumet, Mich. — The Chicago mail
order houses have so cut into the busi-
ness of the merchants of the upper
peninsula that even Lutey's Greenhouses
advertise : ' ' You can do better with us
than by sending to Chicago or elsewhere
for cut flowers and designs. ' '

TRIED AND PROVEN-Rochester's New Carnation

Nay Bennett^^

REMARKABLE KEEPING QUALITIES

Color perfectly distinct, shading from medium to light pink. Long stems,
strong and vigorous grower. As a producer equals William Scott. Growers
wanting a good all-round Carnation for color, yield and growth, should not
overlook "May Bennett."

Price, $10 per 100 ; $75 per 1000 ; 250 at 1000 rate.

Gentlemen — We do not hesitate to recommend the new carnation "May Bennett," as we
have had nearly the entire cut the past year. It has been a ireneral favorite with our trade on
account of Its fragrance, keeping qualities and pleading color. As a general utility carnation
It has no equal. (Signed) J. B. KELLER SONS, Florists, Rochester, N. Y.

ABUNDANCE (White)

The phenomenal ylelder, the freest,
earliest bloomer in existence, the most
profitable carnation ever offered to the
trade, easily gives four times as many
flowers as the freest bloomer already
introduced; a bench planted Aug. 31 Is
now in full bloom to which there will
be no let up until thrown out next sum-
mer; come and see it. It will pay you If
you are in the market for a carnation
that will give you plenty of flowers at
all times and not only at certain times.
A good size, long stemmed flower. You
can make no mistake by stocking up
with it. Price for well-rooted cuttings,
110.00 perlOO; 175.00 per 1000; 600 at 1000 rate;
cuttings delivered as soon as rooted;
send in your order early as oi*ders are

The Weekly Florists' Review*

Decembeb 7, 1905.

MOBILE, ALA.

In spite of the summer weather we
have been having, with plenty of good
outdoor roses and other flowers at this
late date, business has been brisk and
healthy.

A trip through the Chatogue Green-
houses last week Avas more than a
pleasure. Tlie foreman, Mr. Locharley,
certainly shows what stuff he is made of
in the looks of his roses and mums. Sev-
eral houses in Beauties, Kaiserin, Bich-
mond, MacArthur, Maids, Gates and
Perles, all of them in the pink of con-
dition, and promising a fine holiday cut.
The mums were like the proverbial po-
licemen's feet, all very fine and large,
the Batons nearly too much so, although
he had two and three stems to the plant.

An unalloyed pleasure was a visit last
week by that genial and enterprising
president and manager of the Metairie
Ridge Nursery Co., of New Orleans, Har-
ry Papworth. Mr. Papworth has been
busy this summer erecting his large
plant, but is now ready for the reaping,
and we wish him a fine harvest.

November 29 saAV the nuptial knot tied
between Louis Ravier, member of the
firm of C. Ravier & Sons, and Miss Edna
Baumhauer, of this city. Good looks,
winning ways, any amount of energy,
with nothing but friends in and outside
the florist craft of Mobile, are the qual-
ities that won the prize. With all of
Mobile wishing that young couple hap-
piness, there can be nothing but hap-
piness and prosperity in store for this
French-German alliance. Gulf City.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

Decembeb 7, 1905.

COIL BOILER.

I have two greenhouses running east
and west. The south house is 10x70, four
and one-half feet to the plates and eight
feet to the ridge. The south wall con-
tains twelve inches of glass. The sec-
ond house is 23x70. In the northeast
corner of this house a packing room 9x36
is taken out. The house is ten feet to
the ridge. The west end of the two
houses is protected by the boiler shed.
The east gables are glass. I want to
heat with a coil boiler of 2-inch pipe.
How many feet of pipe will it take to
maintain a temperature of 65 degrees
■when it is 12 to 15 degrees below zero
outside? I should like to use IVa-inch
pipe for the returns. What size of fire-
box will be needed and how much below
the returns should the boiler be set?

B. H. B.

A coil boiler to do the work required
in your plant should have a capacity for
about 1,000 feet of radiation. To pro-
vide heat for this the boiler should con-
tain 200 lineal feet of 2-inch pipe if
this is the size to be used. The loops
should not be too long and should consist
of two pipes connected by a return bepd.
Each pipe entering a manifold tee, or
header, at the outside of the boiler as
suggested in the cut shown in Florists'
Review of December 31, 1903, pp. 269.
The large house, 23x70, should have sev-
enteen returns of 1%-inch pipe besides an
adequate flow, or riser, which should be
three inches in diameter. The smaller
house, 10x70, can be heated with eight
1%-inch returns and a 2-inch riser.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

Deckmbek 7, 1905.

KANSAS CITY.

The Market.

The past week has been a very busy
one for the florists of this city. There
have been a large number of decora-
tions and nearly all the dealers report an
unusually heavy trade in cut flowers for
this time of year. Thanksgiving day
brought lots of business and cleaned up
most of the stock. All kinds of cut
flowers are scai'ce and bringing much
higher prices than usual. It is the same
old story about carnations; supply short
and demand heavy. Any kind of a car-
nation sells for 4 cents wholesale, while
Enchantress, which is the favorite car-
nation here, easily brings 6 cents, with
not nearly enough to supply the demand.
The Kansas-Missouri football game
Thanksgiving day made a big demand
for mums and practically all the good
ones were sold out.

Various Notes.

• W. J. Barnes put up the decorations
for the Neale-Smith wedding last week.
This is probably the largest decoration
put up here this season and Mr. Barnes
is to be congratulated on the able man-
ner in which he handled it. The recep-
tion hall was decorated in American
Beauties and Piersoni ferns, with a man-
tel decoration of red mums and ferns.
The parlor, dining room and library
were elaborately decorated with palms,
ferns and mums. A particularly effective
and artistic piece of work was the large
staircase, which was decorated with As-
paragus plumosus and white bells. Mr.
Barnes used over seven loads of palms
and ferns, besides the cut flowers. Proba-
bly one of the most attractive things
about it to W. J. was the cheek he re-
ceived, which we understand was large
enough to pay several months' coal bills.

W. L. Eock's show window is always
one of the sights on Walnut street and
is particularly attractive this week.

Miss Jennie Murray reports an un-
usually heavy Thanksgiving business.

Theodore Kalma is sending in some
fine valley.

James Hayes, of Topeka, Kan., was a
recent visitor. Kay-See.

ing Dictionary on receipt of 25 cents.

Grant Newpokt, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, writes:— "I bought a No. 2 Boiler in 1902. Takes
care of 7,000 sq. ft. of glass; would take care of 2,000 more. I have had a oaRt-iron boiler,
but it broke down twice in four years, always in the coldest weather. It broke down
Dec. 2R, 1901, and I lost all my stock in consequence. I have now two No. 2 Kroescbell

AND HERE'S

A QUESTION FOR YOU

If YOU want a greenhouse for profit it does not mean you want the cheap-
est, but the least expensive in the end.

If YOU want a greenhouse built to meet certain conditions and requirements
you must go to people who know how to meet these conditions and
requirements.

If YOU want a greenhouse that will *' stand up'' to specifications, it must be
laid out along lines that are known to be successful, and must be built
of materials that have been stamped with the approval of severe tests
and long usage.

Each greenhouse designed and erected by The B.-H.-P. Co. is individual in

itself.
Give us your general scheme of what you desire and our experts stand ready

to work up plans for you without cost.

These plans and specifications are based on 50 years of greenhouse building.

We have proven that only the best houses grow the best plants.

Proof of this proof shown in the collection of cutsL-G we are glad to send you

this Rooster has been crowing
"A Merry Christmas'' at

6 o^cIock in the morning.

1887-1905

Here He
Is Again

and it looks as though he was
a pretty tough old bird and
would easily crow for J 8 more
years. But he isn^t the only
hustler that is up on the perch
at 6 o'clock in the morning.

'T'k AfiA Xll*^ i^^lltf^V*CL By-the-bye, do you know there are no better Roses^ Carna-
m 11^1 %j nE%J viii^i 3 tions, Violets, Sweety Peas and, in fact, any flower you

may mention coming to the New York market, than you can find right here at 106 W. 28th St.

I tell you the stock for Christmas will be grand and I will have plenty of it. No worry here about short
supply nor pickled stock. Come and see for yourself and come early, you hear me, Early, and then it
won't be too late. It is the early roosters that catch the worms, you know. You knoW me.

THE RETAIL

FLORIST.

CHRISTMAS PLANTS.

Plants Instead of Greens.

Every florist who sells at retail has
a call at Christmas for plant arrange-
ments of one kind or another and of
varying degrees of elaborateness. The
holly wreath was once the best selling
item of the florist's Christmas stock; it
is still popular with the people, but in
most places holly has lost much of its
value to the florist; it is now the chief
Christmas specialty of the Greek on the
curb, of the Italian who runs the pea-
nut stand, and holly is handled in large
quantities by the produce commission
men, who supply it to every village
grocer and butcher. Consequently many
florists are finding holly less and less
profitable, while those who are still able
to get a fairly satisfactory price for it
are, with few exceptions, selling smaller
quantities each year because of outside
competition. They are devoting their
energies to plant arrangements, leaving
the holly wreaths and the paper Christ-
mas bells to other if less kindly hands.

The Kind That Sell.

Plant arrangements call for some sort
of basket, hamper, pot cover or ribbon
for each and the supply houses have
not been slow to provide a wide assort-,
ment of these accessories. In the
wealthier communities the leading re-
tailers have, with their aid, and with
the aid of the plantsmen's best prod-
ucts, builded some fearsome things; also
others rich, rare and delicate, fit exam-
ples of the best work of the craft. The

Review has printed many pictures of
the plant and cut flower arrangements,
sent out by the bon-ton stores, but to
show these New York ' ' creations ' ' to
the average florist is frequently to fail
to interest him; he does not have the
stock for their construction, and if he
had these large or expensive arrange-
ments in his store he could not find any-
body to buy them.

Even in Pittsburg, Cleveland, Phila-
delphia, Boston and Chicago the largest
stores find themselves in the main de-
pendent upon the patronage of people
who will not spend more than a moderate
amount on a single purchase and their
stocks are arranged accordingly. The ac-
companying illustrations are from photo-
graphs made last Christmas at one of
the best stores in an inland city, a
store which has the patronage of the
wealthiest class. They "^show, not the
display pieces, the things one admires
but does not buy, but the things which
were actually being sold.

Primulas Popularly Priced.

The most popular arrangement was
the basket or hamper of primulas. Thesu
sold at from $3 to $5, according to size
and the amount of material required,
and it was no uncommon thing to sell
several to a customer, to be delivered
on Christmas morning to separate ad-
dresses. Probably the best liked was
the long, narrow, zinc-lined raffia ham-
per containing eight to twelve primulas,
with no ribbon or any other accessory.
Another form was the low round basket
with its zinc pan, containing primulas

and asparagus, adiantum or occasionally
low poinsettias. A very good seller was
the small brass receptacle, some solely
for hanging, others with legs, like the
one illustrated. These contained only a
single plant and could be retailed at a
price which would lead to many salea
and still leave a good profit. Every
store should offer something of this
kind; it takes only a moment to fill
them as needed.

Poinsettias.

Of course the poinsettia is to Christ-
mas what the lily is to Easter, but it is
a somewhat more expensive plant than
can be sold freely in the smaller stores.
The bright red bracts of a good poin-
settia to be sold in the pot should be
as wide as the plant is high. They are
not usually of these proportions, but
the lower they are the better they lend
themselves to making up in pans of
various sizes. They need no embellish-
ment other than a pot cover. Dark
green is best, sometimes tied with holly
red ribbon.

By far the larger number of poin-
settias are used in planting baskets or
hampers in combination with other ma-
terial. Those which have lost a part of
their foliage can be employed in this
way with good effect, the other plants
serviii;; to cover their nakedness. A few
Roman hyacinths serve to brighten by
contrast the red of the bracts and a
pandanus is a favorite center plant.
With poinsettias, Farleyense and Ro-
mans almost any kind of a basket or
zinc-lined hamper may be filled, allow-
ing for a wide range of style and price.
If ribbon is used it would better be
heavy, not too wide and green to match
the foliage of the poinsettia, especially
if tied on the upper part of the arrange-
ment.

Otaheite Oranges.

Otaheite oranges sell well at Christ-
mas. They are frequently planted in
hampers with other material, but last
year thousands of well fruited plants
were sold in good stores when shown

single plant and could be ret.aileil at a

Poinsettias.

< )f c<Mirse the poinselfia is to cju'lst-
mas what the lily is to J-laster, Imt it is
a somewhat more expensive jdant than
can 111' sold freely in the smaller stores.
The bright red brads of a good poin-
si'tlia to be sold in the pot should lie
as wide as the plant is high. They are
not usually of these jiropiu'tions, but
ihe lower they are the better they lend
themselves to making up in pans of
various sizes. They need no <_'inbellish-
nn'iit other than a pot cover. I lark
"I'een is best, sometimes tied with ludlv
led rililion.

Jiy far the larger mimber of poin-
x'tfias ai-e used in planting liaskets or
hampers in conibinat imi with otln'r ma-

their foliage ran be cm|iloyed in this
way with good effect, the other plants

b'oinan liyacintli>- serve to brighten tiy
contrast the red of the bracts and a
pandatius is a lavorite center plant.
With jioinset tias. l-'arleyiuise and Ifo-

without other accessory than a jardi-
niere. The brass pot cover goes splen-
didly with these, but it should be large
enough to take in the pot, not merely
to part conceal it, as in the illustration.
A few years ago the tendency was to
overdo the * ' embellishment ' ' of plants.
In some of the most pretentious stores,
especially in New York, the plants
would be so smothered in fold after
fold of crepe paper, with yard after
yard of ribbon, that the natural beauty
of the plant was lost, or at least ob-
scured, but the tendency has been the
other way for the past year or so. If
there are any plants which will stand
for heavy, high Avrappings it is surely
the Otaheite orange and the Ghent
azalea, on account of the usually bare
base.

Berried Plants.

Berried plants are popular at Christ-
mas. Best of all is the English holly
(the majority of which come by way of
Belgium) and which is seen in particu-
larly fine shape this year, although it
frequently loses both berries and leaves.
These are being imported in annually
increasing numbers, but they are for
only the better class of stores, retailing
at from $10 to $25 each. At the other
end of the line are Christmas peppers
and .Jerusalem cherries. Between, and
most useful to the average man with a
first-class trade, are Ardisia crenulata
and Aucuba Japonica. The former is
preferred by many because of its habit;
the aucuba usually has a bare base, like
the specimen illustrated. These are fre-

quently sent out with ribbon tied in the
plants.

Other Plants.

Palms and ferns, while hardly deserv-
ing place as Christmas plants, are nev-
ertheless good sellers at Christmas for
gift purposes, and this includes rubbers,
pandanuses, etc., and applies with par-
ticular force to the new forms of the
nephrolepis, like elegantissima. The
araucaria is always a good seller at
Christmas, nearly always with the pot
covered with Porto Rican matting or
crepe paper and with a red ribbon tied
above the lower whorl of leaves.

The azalea is profitable at Christmas,
as at Easter, but the red varieties can
not be had in good flower by that date
and the call at the holiday season is
first for bright colors.

The cyclamen has its greatest run at
Christmas. It is not a plant which is
easily used in making up baskets, etc.
A well grown plant should be a globe of
rich, dark foliage coming down over the
top of the pot, the flowers carried well
above the green. The best embellish-
ment for a cyclamen is a close-fitting pot
cover of not too bright red.

Omission has thus far been made of
what many would place first on the list
of Christmas plants. Begonia Gloire de
Lorraine. In nearly all first-class stores
this is one of the very best sellers and
it might easily be in all, but it is one of
the hardest plants to deliver in good
shape, especially at this busy season,
when more or less rough handling is
inevitable and it is the cause of fre-

quent complaint, for not all Lorraines
hold their flowers in living rooms au
well as in the instances we hea,r about.
In one store the complaints have been
so numerous that the clerks have in-
structions to tell the customers that,
while sometimes the plants last first
rate, usually their life is not much
greater than the life of cut flowers.
Many others refrain from pushing Lor-
raine for the same reason and it is well
to always disclaim in advance all re-
sponsibility for its lasting qualities;
with one customer it may endure for
weeks and with another the flowers may
fall in a day or two.

BOX SALES.

In many cities leading retailers have
found that sales of special boxes of cut
flowers on certain days of each week are
an excellent means of advertising and
increasing business. John G. Heinl &
Son, Terre Haute, Ind., have just sent
out a neatly printed card which reads:
"Commencing this week we are putting
into effect a novel plan we believe will
prove very popular, viz : To prepare every
Saturday and Sunday, for prompt de-
livery, boxes of fresh cut flowers, rang-
ing in price from 50 cents to $3. In
each case they will contain generous
value for the price, and will afford
patrons an inexpensive means of provid-
ing flowers for the table or as gifts to
friends, without any trouble of personal
selection. It is only necessary that you
telephone us and advise the price you
wish to pay. Our reputation for hand-
ling only the best insures you entire
satisfaction. ' '

A GOOD SIDE LINE.

A number of leading retail florists are
finding decorative pottery a very profit-
table side line. A stock of odd and at-
tractive pieces of art pottery occupies
little room, makes an attractive feature
of a store, is useful in the display of
goods and a source of much assistance in
any outside work. A florist who uses in
a decoration a vase of attractive mate-
rial, shape, color or workmanship, fre-
quently finds that his patron wishes to
have the vase remain after his guests
have admired it. He likes to have it on
hand when they come again and is not
inclined to question the florist's price.
Counter sales also afford a very good
margin of profit.

A number of retailers have bought
stocks of such goods and the demand has
been so apparent that the manufacturers
and jobbers of them are now looking for
the trade. Among the leading dealers
in such lines are Burley & Tyrrell and
Pitkin & Brooks, Chicago, and handsome
lines are manufactured by the Eookwood
Pottery Co., Cincinnati, and the Zanes-
ville Pottery Co., Zanesville, O.

DISEASED GERANIUMS.

I send some geranium leaves, asking
fo know what is the matter with them
and what to do for them. Notice the
under side of the leaves and tell me if
you can what the trouble is and how to
treat it. I lost several hundred plants
last winter and it is beginning earlier
this winter. W. N. T.

The geranium leaves have blotches of
yellow and some almost black, which, of
course, greatly impairs the health of
the plant. We have never been troubled

with auytliing like it. It is doubtless a
fungus and caused by too close and
damp an atmosphere. We do not believe
the geranium is subject to any disease
if proper conditions are observed, which
during winter are as follows: A night
temperature of 45 degrees, room for cir-
culation of air among the plants, venti-
lation on all possible occasions and, as
the plants are almost resting, keep them
on the dry side. In other words, let the

soil in the pots be decidedly dry before
you give them water.

For immediate relief I would recom-
mend mixing common sulphur with lin-
seed oil until it is the consistency of thick
paste and with an old paint brush smear
on for a few inches about every ten feet
on your heating pipes. If steam pipes,
use less of the sulphur; if hot water
you can use more without harm.

Forcing Dahlias,

If yon are thinking of forcing any
dahlias it will be time to make prepara-
tions. In a night temperature of 56 to
60 degrees, and starting them the mid-
dle of January, I found they were not
flowering freeiy until the end of April,
so to have them at Easter they should
be in the groun<i by January 1. I think
the other conditions we provided were
about right: Six inches of soil on the
floor of a light house. They may do
very well on a raised bench, but the
height they grow and coolness of the

bed for their roots makes the low beds
preferable. The single and pompons are
the best for forcing. As with almost all
our crops, don't look for a variety.
Find out from a reliable source half a
dozen of the best forcing varieties and
grow lots of them. They like plenty of
water at the roots and a daily syringing
with good force for their foliage, to
keep away red spider.

Now, don't think these dahlias are
greatly profitable, although we found our
customers bought them freely. There are
frequently beds or benches that from

one cause or other you will find unsuc-
cessful, and here is where the dahlia will
be found useful.

Propagating.

This is a time of the year thiiMiot one
foot of your propagating benem should
be vacant. If you are negligent about
this now you will be over-crowded later,
Mr, Baur's very practical remarks on
the propagating house in last week's Re-
view should be read by all. Simple as
is propagating most things to old hands,
it is often mystifying to beginners.
From the middle of November, or even
the first of November, till the end of
]\Iay, there should be constant demand
on your propagating benches, whether
they be ideally formed or simply three
or four inches of sand or sifted ashes
spread on a side bench beneath which are
a few heating pipes. Although wood is
the poorest conductor of heat, and the
«nall amount that will pass through a
liinch bqai^l is scarcely perceptible, yet
we,Jmv€ found in practice a decided ad-
vantage over the bench that has no pipes
beneath.

Carnations and Roses.

First there are the carnation cuttings
which can be started as early as the
middle of October and all rooted before
New Year's. This is an advantage, for
it is generally believed that cuttings
taken from the plants before they have
been subjected to fire heat or any forc-
ing, then giving them a cool house for

two months, comes nearer to their nat-
ural habit than propagating later and
giving them no rest.

As soon as your carnations are propa-
gated it is time to begin with the tea
roses. Millions of these are still propa-
gated and grown on their own roots
in spite of the newer and perhaps better
method of grafting. The two months
following New Year's is a most favor-
able time for the rose cuttings, the firing
that is necessary giving you a cool at-
mosphere, with no trouble to keep the
sand at 65 degrees.

Chrysanthemums.

By the time the roses are out of the
sand you will want to begin propagating
the fascinating mums. You will remem-
ber the pleasure of seeing the first blos-
soms open, and perhaps the "busters"
you grew, and you will possibly remem-
ber the many calls you had for good com-
mercial flowers of the useful kind, and
could not fill the orders, and you stamped
and raged a little to see benches filled
with kinds the public did not want. I
have been in a position of late to observe
so vividly what has sold and what our
customers wanted that it has made a
marked impression, and I believe many
a florist has been taught a practical as
well as costly lesson.

In warning the average florist, whether
he grows them for his own counter or to
ship to his commission house, I by no
means wish to disparage the introduction

or trial of the monster curiosities or fan-
tastic shapes which have come in the
evolution of the chrysanthemum, and
one who can afford to grow a few of
each of the best of the introductions of
the past three years must be a poor
florist and no lover of flowers if he does
not get his money 's worth in pure ad-
miration of the wonderful flowers. To
see Mrs. D. V. West expand to its full
beauty is almost as exciting as asking
the nurse if it's a boy or girl and per-
haps, after several annual occurrences,
more so. We could not hold the annual
public exhibitions without the novelties
and wonders and that would be a serious
loss, not only commercially but to horti-
culture at large. So these remarks are
strictly with a view to bread and butter.

The chrysanthemum has sold as well
this season as any year within the past
ten years, perhaps at a slightly lower
average price, but that condition can be
easily met and when you begin to propa-
gate in March put in hundreds of Robert
Halliday, Bonnaffon yellow and white,
Josephine, Kalb, Polly Eose, Ivory, Alice
Byron, Adelia, Convention Hall, Maud
Dean, White Maud Dean and Miss Helen
Frick. T forgot Dr. Enguehard, just a
little ahead of Maud Dean, for it will
produce at least three or four good
flowers to a plant.

There is such a co'nstant demand for
bunches or sprays of chrysanthemums
for funerals that a large proportion of
your flowers can with profit be white.

Aucuba Japonica in a Gilded Basket

I have wandered somewhat from the
propagating bench, but it is all in the
business, and besides the important plants
mentioned that occupy your cutting bed
there is, if you grow bedding plants, no
end of soft-wooded plants that will have
to be rapidly increased. So don't waste
any time or space now or you will re-
gret it later.

Preparing for the Rush.

Christmas, with all its joys and hard
work for the florist, is right at hand.
It falls on Monday, which brings the
florists' really busy day on a Sunday,
That may be awkward, but we usually
survive those little things, like the ob-
servant man who said he had noticed
that if he was alive on May 1 of any
year he always lived through the balance
of the year,

I have on several occasions mentioned
the many things a florist should do to
put his place in perfect preparedness.
The store man should have all material
at hand and in a convenient place. There
is a prodigious lot of boxes used now-
adays, and these should not only be
made up but could be lined with silk and
tissue paper, for it will save much time
when you are rushed with customers and
orders. All plants in the store should
be trimmed with ribbon and pots cov-
ered with tissue paper, not only that they
will be ready to deliver, but, more im-
portant, that they will be attractive,
which undoubtedly helps to sell them.
The florist whose salesroom is attached
or adjacent to his houses cannot fix up
all his plants, but he can a sufficient
number to show the public.

Wash the Pots.

The green and white tissue which now
envelopes the pot of every plant sold,
covers a lot of sins and among them
often a green, greasy pot. This should
never be. There is nothing more offen-
sive or unsightly than a dirty pot, espe-
cially if it is surmounted by a pretty
flowering plant. The greenhouse man
knows pretty closely the plants that will
go at Christmas and it is little labor to
well wash their pots. It won't be labor
in vain if some are unsold.

Keep a Good Window.

There may be some beginners in the
stores who do not fully realize the great
value of a handsome display in the win-
dow. You seek for a location in a much
frequented street and pay a big rent for
it. Then follow this up with an attract-
ive window, W<e have a store in our
town where the window is never two days
alike. It must be costly, but it pays
even better than advertising in the daUy
papers, as results have shown. Another
young man who has got along well and
built up a splendid business had little
to start with and naturally could only
carry a moderate stock of flowers. Yet
all those flowers went into the show
window and the ice box was empty.
They were before the eyes of the public,
who were sure he had them. If out of
sight, the pedestrians on the street could
only suppose he had what they wanted.
By this time this young man has an at-
tractive window, as well as a cellar full
of flowers. This is such a day of dis-
play that we must put on a good front.

Holiday Deliveries.

Since such a large majority of our

holiday sales are presents, the delivery
department of our business has become a
large, important and costly part of it
and here is where system can with great
benefit be carried out. Department stores
have a force of men who do nothing else
and know every street in the city, but
with us, our holiday deliveries- are in-
creased ten fold over ordinary times.
All deliveries for one day should be by
themselves and the man who loads the
wagons or automobile, whom we call
the "router," if capable, is a valuable
man and will save the driver vexation
and great loss of time in finding that
he has a poinsettia on the extreme west
of the city and a plant of Harris* But-
tercup primrose on the east end.

If you are a conscientious man you
cannot help worrying at delayed deliv-
eries and mistakes, but keep as cool as
possible and do all that is possible pre-
viously to make things go smoothly and
without mistakes. In ordinary times
there is time and opportunity behind a
florists' counter for a few pleasant re-
marks, or a little chat, according to your
customer's disposition or affability, but
on Christmas eve civil, courteous but
brief replies are in order. Leave the
gossip to the old man in front of the
counter. To the clerks nothing but busi-
ness, and unless your customer has a
vacuum behind the eyes he or she will
understand the hurry and bustle.

THE FLORISTS' MANUAL.

The Florists' Manual, by Wm. Scott,
has been out of print for nearly a year.
The success which attended the first edi-
tion of this standard treatise on green-
house management was so exceptional
that a very large edition was quickly sold
out and many orders have had to be re-
fused. It will be good news to the large
number who have been unable to secure
the book, and to Mr. Scott's wide circle
of persona) friends, to know that he is
well along in the work of revising the
first edition and that a second edition,
considerably enlarged and brought down
to date, will be issued in 1906.

THE CANNA LILIES.

Flowering Under Glass.

We are so accustomed to see the canna
used as a summer plant for bedding and
massing, that we seem to forget that it
is equally or even more useful as a win-
ter-blooming plant. Owing to its semi-
tropical habit, the majority of people
imagine that it would naturally require
a high temperature to perfect its
flowers; such however, is not the case.
Practical experience has proved that
while a rather high temperature is best
to start the canna roots, a moderate
temperature is all that is necessary after
tie plant or clump is well established.

The best results with plants desired
for winter blooming are secured in the
following manner: Dig the field clumps
during September, before frost, and pot
them into pots or boxes in good, rich
soil. Do not cut off any tops, but cut
the old and unsightly bloom stalks off
entirely. The clean, fresh bloom stalks
in bud or first bloom should not be dis-
turbed further' than to detach the open
flowers. Some of the flower foliage can
also be cut off close to the stalk.

Now, assuming the work has been
properly performed, you have a fine, well
proportioned growing clump to begin
>vith. After it is potted or boxed, it

should receive a good soaking and be
syringed several times daily for four or
five days and slightly shaded, after
which the clump can be placed in a
sunny greenhouse. By this time it will
be in full bloom and will keep on grow-
ing and blooming during the whole win-
ter and spring.

I have practiced the above method for
twelve years and have had clumps bloom
from October to April under such con-
ditions. They have bloomed for us in
houses where the night temperature was
no higher than the average carnation
house. They will do equally as well
with a night temperature of 60 to 65
degrees, only that they require more
watering and syringing, and if the soil
in which they are potted is too rich the
growth is likely to be soft and spongy. !
For this reason it is best to bloom them
in a cooler house, where the night tem-
perature is from 50 to 55 degrees. Un-
der such conditions the flowers are more
firm and durable and the leaf growth
not so rank.

The canna flower is improved to the
same extent, if grown under glass as the
rose, carnation or chrysanthemum, and
with far less trouble or expense, and the
wealth of bloom and richness of coloring ,
of the different varieties and types are
so beautiful as to beggar description.

Public Education.

We fuss and worry over a lot of chry-

santhemums for months in order to get a
few weeks of bloom. This is all well
for the commercial grower, where the
flowers pay for the time and expense,
but from an educational standpoint, I
fail to see where the people, or anyone,
receives any benefit from the annual
autumn show of chrysanthemums in our
park conservatories. I merely ask the
question: Is it necessary to give the
public an exhibition of flowers they can
see at every street corner and depart-
ment store in our large cities? We
might as well reason that bread alone is
good and enough for all people to eat,
because it is considered the staff of life.
We all know people all like to have a
variety of food.

If our public parks and conservatories
are for the benefit of the people, why
can they not have more variety? I know
from personal experience that the ma-
jority of our people have no conception
what our best bred American cannas
look like.

We frequently have visitors from
Philadelphia, New York and other lead-
ing cities, who see our cannas in the
field during the blooming season, express
their surprise and wonder at the great
variety of colors, forms, and types of
flowers and foliage. Their usual ex-
clamation is, ' ' Why, we never see such
colors in the parks. ' ' However, the park
managers are alive to the fact that
cannas are the most effective plants to

of the Chicago parks seem to be far
more progressive in this respect than our
eastern men.

On the whole the present and future
for the canna is very encouraging. The
family has made tremendous strides in
the past few years, and is still improv-
ing and endearing itself in the hearts
of the people. Antoine Wintzer.

A REMINISCENCE.

John Poehlmann was in a reminiscent
mood the other day and spoke interest-
ingly of the early days of the cut flower
industry in Chicago. It was fifteen years
ago that August and John joined hands
with Adolph Poehlmann, who was al-
ready in the greenhouse business at Mor-
ton Grove. It was a typical place for
those days, small, low, detached houses
but at that time contained something like
25,000 square feet of glass, which was
pretty fair for that time. Then as now
John Poehlmann had charge of the sell-
ing end of the business. For the first
three or four years he came to Chicago

Clark street store was there and it was
in the basement at this address that
Poehlmann Bros, first had a city store.
At this time the stock was shipped in
by train in the , evening and Mr. Poehl-
mann took it to the store and sorted it
for next day's business, then making
daily rounds with a wagon. A little
later a down town address was secured
and the wagon dispensed with. By that
time there were enough wholesale estab-
lishments so that the trade had become
well accustomed to coming to the vicinity
of "Wabash and Randolph for its supplies
and the Poehlmann establishment had
grown until it was no longer possible to
carry the product about the city. As
years have passed the greenhouses have
grown and with them the importance of
the city salesroom.

three times a week, usually with a horse
and wagon but sometimes, when cuts were
light, bringing the product in a basket
on his arm. He visited on each trip a
dozen or fifteen of the leading flo^yer
stores, including those on the west side
and on the south side as far as the Art
Floral Co. place at Thirty-ninth street.
It was a long day's journey and Mr.
Poehlmann frequently tied the horse at
some convenient place and made a few
calls by street car, carrying his stock in
a basket. This for the purpose of sav-
ing the horse. He always arranged to
have some stock for the last customer,
but frequently had to retrace his steps to

sell out.

Not many of the old stores are in
existence now, but Wittbold's North

Rogers Park is always kept up in first-
class shape, but it looks rather better this
year than usual. This is especially true
of the Beauty houses, which number
nearly a score. It would be hard to im-
prove on the length and stiffness of stem
and the foliage speaks for perfect health.
Liberty and Richmond are a feature of
the establishment. At the city store N.
J. Wietor says that there is little differ-
ence in the selling qualities of these
roses, but at the greenhouses Henry Wie-
tor thinks Richmond likely to have a
better blooming record at the end of
the season. The ground shoots are now
beginning to appear in quantity and
speak for some splendid flowers. The
tea roses are also in good shape.
Not a large list of varieties of carna-

tions is grown here, it being the prefer-
ence to grow a few sorts in quantity.
The results this season have been above
the average and the cuts have been ob-
tainable when wanted.

Chrysanthemums are grown in quan-
tity, but are all cut except a few Merry
Christmas, which will hold on until close
to the first of the year. A large busi-
ness is now being done in chrysanthe-
mum stock plants and preparations are
being made for propagating extensively.
The firm has a very large trade in rose
plants and carnation and chrysanthemum
cuttings.

I noticed a recent paragraph in the
Review where it is advised that radiat-
ing pipes in greenhouses be not painted.
I say paint 'em. For why? Because it
pays. When we first put in our present
steam pipes, probably ten years ago,
they were not j)ainted. After about four
yeara those that were not exposed to
sun and air rusted badly, some having
to be renewed. I came to the conclu-
sion that it would pay to paint the pipes,
and those that were sound are as good as
ever, and I am convinced that if painted
every second year they will last indefi-
nitely. The painting does not interfere
with the radiation. Apparently any
pipes that are exposed for appearance
sake can be painted with white paint,
those under the benches red. Here is
our formula: Take dry mineral red,
which can be bought for about 2%
cents to 3 cents a pound. Fifty pounds
will do a lot of work. Mix it with raw
linseed oil and add a little turpentine
to it. Have it about as thick as ordi-
nary paint. Apply with an old brush in
the summer time when emptying the
benches. Brush and scrape off all rust
first. There is nothing injurious to
plants in this paint. Black asphaltum
or anything of that nature should never
be applied, but we paint all iron work
and our boilers with it. Experience is
what talks and we should all help each
other when we can by exchanging expe-
riences. F. J. Fillmore.

This painting the pipes is a subject
that I have watched closely for years,
with the result that all pipes we handle
are painted as fast as we can get at
them, or before we put them in. Just
recently we cleaned and painted a lino
of 1-inch pipe in a propagating house,
which was put in just one year ago, and
it was more than half corroded because
we neglected to paint it, and the con-
stant syringing caused it to rust badly.
I believe such rusty pipes do not give
off as much heat as clean painted ones,
to say nothing about durability and ap-
pearance. We use lamp black and lin-
seed oil, or Dixon's graphite thinned is
good. We never had any damage to
stock, even when painted while hot.

Another point that would be well to
mention is the enormous loss to florists
caused by poorly cared for boiler set-
tings, cracked walls and loose castings
and linings, thus allowing cold air to
creep through to chill the boiler, reduce
draft and lower the general efficiency
often twenty-five to fifty per cent. Few
realize the importance of this. A boiler
setting when in use should be candled
regularly ; that is, gone over with a burn-
ing candle slowly, and wherever a crack

appears, the air suction will draw the
flame in, showing necessity of patching.
The best material is asbestos, either wet
or dry, as it allows for some expansion
and contraction and is easily applied.
Fronts should be thoroughly examined,
also the smoke connection. No air should
have access to the boiler except through
the draft holes regulated by the operator.

CHRISTMAS CENTERPIECES.

It is diflScult to escape the scarlet,
white and green for the winter holiday
season, nor does one care to do so. These
colors seem to suggest Christmas most
happily, and in our canoe design we are
using poinsettias. Paper White narcissi,
and green. The arrangement is simple
enough for an every day table, and also
capable of elaboration. Fill the canoe
with sphagnum and stem the flowers
basket style or set in low dishes of
water, held in place by sphagnum packed
in snugly. If desired, the flowers can
be used longer stemmed, or the canoe
can be suspended from a chandelier over
the center of the table, to within six

inches of the cloth, and the flowers al-
lowed to droop much more decidedly than
is shown in the picture.

Paper Whites are especially pretty
with medium-size poinsettias, and by
the way, larger poinsettias than these
should not be used in a low decoration,
as they look too blunt when cut short.
Cut the narcissi different lengths, from
two or three inches to almost natural
length stem. Let them "top" the group,
as lighter colors usually should do. Cut
the edge of the canoe with a few over-
hanging clusters of both kinds of flow-
ers and an occasional spray of green.
Do not mix the flowers or the coloring
without plan. Mass each separately and
blend easily in their lines, one into the
other. After filling generously but not
with a view to working off stock, draw
a No. 12 scarlet ribbon through from
one end to the other and attach two or
three Christmas bells to either end as
shown in the smaller illustration.

The larger study is a more delicate
one, but equally suitable for a daylight
dinner table. Arrange a broad band or
sash of violets laid loosely but closely

across the table diagonally between two
corners. Enough to make the color effect
solid is necessary in this scheme, and the
broader the better. Select roses similar
to the color of La Detroit or Chatenay
and fill the loving cup as illustrated.

The second feature of this decoration
is the garland of roses of the same va-
riety as those in the cup — drawn through
the handles of the loving cup, and spend-
ing itself at either end upon the violet
sash. The roses are most easily placed
one at a time and fastened in place with
the finest wire at hand.

This design might be worked out with
numerous other color combinations, but
the more contrast between the color of
the sash and the flowers in the cup, the
more certainly will the arrangement be-
come a distinct and attractive scheme.

IMPORTED INSECTS.

Enclosed are a few leaves of azaleas
which I received from a certain firm in
Holland October 26. Upon unpacking
the plants they were almost without
leaves and full of small, green, round
bugs, scale and a small white fly. I
dipped the plants in nicotine. It cleaned
out everything but the white fly. These
got on some of our fuchsias and pelargo-
niums. Could you advise me what to use
to get rid of it. A. W.

. The azaleas in question must have
been very much infested with insects,
judging by the leaves that were enclosed
with this query, and the dipping in nico-

tine solution was a good? method of
treatment, though I should think that
a second dipping will be needed before
the flower buds begin to swell, in order
to make a clean job of such plants.

The white fly is hard to kill, but strong
fumigating with nicotine may get the
best of it, and if this should fail, the
hydrocyanic acid fumigation is a last
resort, and will certainly kill the in-
sects. But in using this latter treat-
ment it should always be remembered
that hydrocyanic acid is one of the most
deadly poisons and that a man seldom
lives over a minute after taking a full
breath of this gas, so one cannot be too
careful in its use. W. 9. Taplin.

CARNATIONS FOR CHRISTMAS.

The Holiday Crop.

By the time these notes reach you you
will have sized up your Christmas crop
and know about how many blooms you
v/ill be able to turn out for the holiday
sales. Almost every grower has to know
about a week ahead what his cut is going
to be, though of course he cannot be ab-
solutely certain on account of the uncer-
tainty of the weather. We have often
found ourselves loaded to the brim with
orders two weeks ahead, regardless of
what the weather would be. The retailer
cannot afford to place his orders with
the grower subject to the weather, be-
cause his retail customers don't consider
the weather when they place their order
for a certain quantity of a certain flower.
So it often puts the grower into a pretty
tight hole and he has to resort to every
trick known to him in coaxing out the
blooms and holding them in good condi-
tion for that time.

Although Christmas comes at a time
when flowers are at just about low ebb,
the demand is suddenly jumped to at
least double the normal, which makes it
all the more trying to the grower. Every
grower of cut flowers knows that to meet
the demand for blooms at Christmas is
the hardest problem he has to solve. If
his glass area is large enough so that,
with a good crop, he is able to supply
the demand at Christmas he need not
worry the rest of the season, providing
his crop continues fair. That is what
causes all this building every summer.
I think that I am safe in saying that but
for the heavy demands on the growers
at Christmas, many a thousand feet of
glass put up in the last few years would
have been left unbuilt. However, this
does not alter the fact your customer
wants the blooms and you will have to
do the best you can.

It has been our experience that usually
during the week preceding December 23
trade is rather light and that enables us
to save many blooms that would have
been called for if trade were normal. In
fact, most of our customers instruct us to
hold back the entire cut except what they
have to call for. Of course there are
many blooms that are not fit, in the way

of substance, to hold back many days
and these must be disposed of whUe they
are in good condition. Therein lies the
secret of successfully holding back
Christmas blooms.

Growers who will store away every
bloom they cut during the week pre-
ceding Christmas, regardless of the tex-
ture, will always hear complaints about
pickled stock. If you '♦put away all the
blooms you cut and at the end sort out
those that are in first-class condition and
throw the balance away you will be lit-
tle better off than you would be had you
sold them all at nominal figures. Espe-
cially is this true if you raise the tem-
perature much, as that will have a ten-
dency to soften the blooms. So when
you begin saving up the blooms sort
out those that are firm of texture and
likely to keep and dispose of the others
while they are in good condition.

You will find a great difference in the
blooms of the same variety and you will
find a still greater difference in the dif-
ferent varieties. For instance, you can
keep Lawson as long as any of them, but
you can not save Nelson very many days
in good condition and the same is true
of Crane. Enchantress does not stand

much handling when several days old, be-
sides losing its color quickly after open-
ing. In fact, this is true of most of the
more delicate shades of pink.

A few years ago, when Christmas
blooming plants were few and cut blooms
almost as scarce, everything went, just
so it was a flower, but the public has
learned a good deal about flowers and
one of these things is that when it pays
double and treble the usual price it is
entitled to good goods. You will do far
better to cut the blooms half open at
the last moment, if they are demanded,
than to save them up too long. There
will be just as much in it for you and
your customers will get much more satis-
faction from them. So look over the
blooms every day and dispose of luy that
show signs of weakening.

In laising the temperature be moderate
by all means. At this time of the year,
when the growth is less vigorous than at
any other time, any hard forcing will
show its effects in the near future, by a
weakeued growth, weak stems, split ca-
lyxes, off color, etc. Baise the tempera-
ture slowly and reduce it slowly after-
wards, and do not raise it more than
G degrees at the highest point. One de-
gree each night is fast enough and will
do but little damage, but to raise it 6
degrees in one night and hold it there a
week would be sure to cause much dam-
age. The price of a few extra blooms is
soon lost in a loss of quality later on,
and in order to produce really high grade
blooms a plant must be in first class
condition. A weakened plant cannot pro-
duce quality.

And, finally, keep in close touch with
your customers or your commission man.
Send in the blooms when they want them,
OS they can tell better than you can when
they will go best. Every holiday we hear
of some growers who held back a lot of
blooms and dumped them onto the market
at the Inst moment and got very low re-
turns, while earlier they could have got a
good ])rice. So give others credit for
knowing their end of the business as
v/ell as you know your end. To know the
market is their specialty, just as your
specialty is the growing of the blooms.

CARNATION NOTES -WEST.

Care of Cuttings.

Having the propagating bench filled
with well-firmed sand, use an old table
knife and make a deep cut across the
bench, into which the cuttings are in-
serted. After sticking a batch (what-
ever you have made) water the sand
thoroughly, so- it will settle around the
cuttings. After that, water as needed,
keeping the sand in a fair state of mois-
ture. It should never become dry;
neither should it be watered enough to
become soggy.

In the spraying and shading is where
your judgment is taxed the most. When
the weather is cold and the sun not very
strong, there should be no trouble. A
spraying each morning and the curtain
dropped in front of them when the sun
strikes them, and raised again at sunset
or just a little before, will keep them
fresh and you ought to root 100 per
cent of them. But later on, when the
Bun gets stronger and the house gets
warm in spite of you, then is when your
fine work is called for.

Spraying should be done only when it
is necessary to keep the cuttings fresh.
On many cloudy or rainy days we do not
spray them at all. Too much spraying,
and especially keeping them wet over
night, will have the same bad effect on
the cuttings as it has on the growing
plants. It will start rust and spot dis-
eases and fungus.

In many cases it is sufficient to drop
the curtain and keep the strong light off
of them, and whenever this is enough
to prevent wilting, it is preferable. This
curtain should be tacked to the sashbars
just above the front edge of the bench,
so that it will drop just below the edge-
board. This will keep off the sun, whUe
at the same time it allows the cuttings
to get the full daylight, which will keep
them plump and healthy. When not
needed to keep the sun off, this curtain
should be raised to allow a free circula-
tion of fresh air.

This curtain may sometimes have to
be dropped to keep off draughts when
there is a high wind blowing and the
ventilators must be kept open. A draught
blowing over the cuttings will hurt them
as much or more than to let the sun
shine on them. So be careful on such
days. Keep the temperature in the
house overhead about 50 degrees and
about 60 degrees under the benches, and
if you will keep the cuttings fresh for
four to six weeks you will be able to
take out a good percentage of the cut-
tings you put in the sand.

MELODY.

The accompanying illustration shows a
house of Carnation Melody at the estab-
lishment of the W. C. Hill Floral Co.,
Streator, 111., where the variety origi-
nated. This is a Daybreak-colored sport
of Lawson and has been seen at many
of the exhibitions and is well liked. The
house was planted from the field July 17
and salable blooms were cut August 13.
The two benches shown in the picture
had to December 1 produced 4,141 blooms
and in addition over 9,500 cuttings. All
the Lawson varieties, pink, red, white
and variegated, are grown at the Hill
place and are all money makers. They
make a point of propagating before they
begin feeding and have maintained the
vigor of their stock.

CUT WORM.

The enclosed carnation buds are some
we have cut from plants of Queen Louise
and McKinley. We have been unable to
see the pest. It appears it eats the cen-
ter or the flower out of the calyx. Please
give instructions how to prevent them
from destroying our crop. They work
very little on other varieties, but appear
to eat a part of the young shoots.

C. S. G.

The pest that is attacking your carna-
tions is no doubt one of the common va-
rieties of cut worm. They climb up to
the buds at night and feed until day-
break, when they return to the soil and
bury themselves about half an inch deep
in the loose soil, and remain there until
the next night. If you will take a lan-
tern about midnight you can catch some
of them while they are feeding. You
can find them, too, by looking for the
buds that were attacked the previous
night; you will usually find them buried
near the plant they fed on last. Hand
picking is the surest and quickest rem-
edy. They are of a dull gray color and
you will have to look close to see them
on the soil.

The crimson variety of which you send
buds is not McKinley, but closely re-
sembles Harry Fenn. McKinley is a deep
pink about the same color as Lawson.

SMILAX IN GUERNSEY.

For some reason or other local con-
ditions in the Isle of Guernsey, either
of soil or climate, suit smilax admirably,
and, though I have traveled, I have
never seen it growing so well elsewhere
under cultivation. The only fear is that
too many are growing it, and it will
be overdone. At one place I visited I
was able to verify the fact that smilax
to the value of $2,050 was cut and ex-
ported from one house measuring 35x
220 feet. That was the sum realized,
and, of course, the grower was exceed-
ingly gratified. If I remember aright,
the smilax was removed, and replaced by
runner beans, so that the $2,050 does not
represent the total receipts from that
house for a year. One of the most in-
teresting horticultural sights in Guern-
sey is a well kept house of smilax in full
growth. — Horticultural Advertiser.

WITH BOSTON GARDENERS.

Along the North Shore.

Having a few hours to spare the past
week we determined to pass them in
this increasingly popular part of Massa-
chusetts' seaboard. We found many
striking changes since our previous visit
eighteen months ago. Many fine new
residences are being erected and ranges
of glass are found on practically all of
them, the owners coming from Chicago,
Pittsburg, New York and other cities,
in addition to the many from Boston.
There is now a flourishing horticultural
society here, and there is no question
but that this delightful locality is des-
tined to become in the near future the
leading society resort in the east, not
even excepting Lenox or Newport.

CARNATIONS FOR CHRISTMAS.

The Holiday Crop.

l'.y the time these imtes rearh yon you
will ha\e sized up your (hristmas ci'op
and know about how many blooms you
will be able to turn out for the holiilay
sales. Almost e\cry giowt'r has to know
about a week ahead what his cut is going
to be, tiiough of course he cannot be ab-
solutely ceitain on account <d' the uncer-
tainty of the weather. ^Ve have often
found ourselves loaded to the brim with
orders two weeks ahead, regardless of
what tilt! we.-ither would lie. The retailer
<-annot alford to place his orders with
the grower subject to the weather, be-
cause his retail customers don't consider
the weather when they place their order
for a certain quantity of a certain flower.
So it often puts the grower into a pretty
tight h(de and lie has to resort to every
trick known to him in I'oaxing out the
blooms and holding them in good condi-
tion for that time.

Although Christinas comes at a time
when flowers are at just about low ebb,
the demand is su<l<len]y jumped to at
le.-ist dmii)le the normal, which makes it
all the more trying to the grower. Every
grower of cut flowers knows that to meet
the demand for blooms at Christmas is
the hardest problem he lias to solve. If
his glass area is large enough so that,
Avith a good crop, he is able to supply
the demand at Christmas he need nor
worry the rest of the season, providing
his crop continues fair. That is what
causes all this ]>uilding every summer.
1 think that I am safe in saying that but
for the heavy ileinands on the growers
at Christmas, many a thousaml feet of
glass i>ut up in the last few years would
have been left unbuilt. However, this
does not aber the fact your customer
Avaids tlie blooms and you will lune to
do the be«t you can.

It has ])een our exj^erience that usually
during the week preceding Ilecember L'.".
trade^is rather light and that enables us
to save many blooms that would have
been called for if trade were normal. In
fact, most of our customers instruct us to
hold back the entire cut except what they
have to call for. Of course there are
manv Idooms th.at are not fit, in the way

of substance, to hold back many days
and these must bo disi»oscd of while they
are in good condition. Tlu'rein lies the
secret (d' successfully holding back
('hristmas blooms.

(iroweis who will store away every
bloom tliev cut during the week pre-
ceding Christmas, regardless of the tex-
ture, will always hear eomj)laints about
])ickled stock. If you <put away all the
blo(tms you cut an<l at the end sort out
those that are in lirst-class condition and
throw the balance away ycui will be lit-
tl(^ better olf than you would be had you
S(dd then all at nominal figures. Espe-
cially is this true if you raise the tein-
jierature much, as that will have a ten-
dency to soften the blooms. So when
you begin sa\ing uji the blooms sort
out those that are lirm of texture and
likely to keep and dispose of the others
while they are in good condition.

Vou will find a great difference in the
blooms of the same variety iind you will
fimi a stdl greater difl'erence in the dif-
ferent varletie.;. For instance, you can
keep I«iv.s(in as long as any of them, but
you can not save Nelson very many days
in good condition and the same is true
of (lane. Encliantress does not stand

much handling when several days old, be-
sides losing its color (piiekly after open-
ing. In fa<t, this is true of most of tlie
more dilii-.iie shatles of jiink.

A few years ago, when (,'hristmas
blooming plants were few and cut blooms
rdmost as scarce, e\ery thing went, just
so it was a flower, but the public has
h allied a good deal about flowers and
one of these things is that when it pays
double and treble the usual price it is
entitled to good goods. You will do far
better to cut the blooms half open at
tlie li.st moment, if they are demanded,
tlian to save them up too long. There
will be ;iust as much in it for you and
your cust(.mers will get much more satis-
facti'^n from them. So look over the
bhuvms every day and dispose cd' my that
s'.iow signs of weakening.

Ill i:i;^ing the temi^erature be •noderate
by ;ill means. At this time of the year,
vjieii the growth is less vigorous than at
any itiur time, any hard forcing will
show its efl'eets in the near future, by a
wcakeneii growth, weak stems, split ca-
lyxes, olf color, etc. liaise the tempera-
ture sldwlv and reduce it slowly after-
wards, f.iid do not raise it more tha'.i
0 degrees at the highest poinf. ()ne de-
gree each night is fast enougii .-uid will
do but little damage, but to raise it 0
degrees in one night and hold it there a
week would be sure to cause much dam-
age. The luice of a few extra blooms is
soon lost in a loss of quality later on,
and in order to produce really high grade
blooms a plant must be in first class
condition. A weakened plant cannot pro-
duce (luality.

And, finally, keep in (dose touch with
your cuf'Tomers or your commission man.
Send in the blooms when they want them,
as they can tell better than you can when
they will go best. Every holiday we hear
(d' some growers who held back a lot of
blooms and dumped them onto the market
at the Inst moment and got very low re-
turns, while earlier they could have got a
;:(j(.(: ]irice. So give others credit for
i;nowiiig their end of the business as
A/ell .IS you know your end. To know the
ir.arket is their specialty, just as your
specialtv is the growing of the blooms,

<'uttings. After that, water as needed,
keeping tlio sand in a fair state of nu)is-
ture. It siioidd never beeume dry;
neither should it be watered enough to
become soggy.

In the spraying and shading is where
your Judgment is taxed the must. When
the weatlier is cold and the sun Udt very
strong, there sliould be no troulile. A
spraying each morning and tlie curtain
dropped in front of them when the sun
strikes them, and raised again at sunset
or just a little before, will keep them
fresh and you ought to root 100 ]ier
cent of tliem. But later on, wiien the
Bun gets stronger and the house gets
warm in spite of you, then is when your
fine work is called for.

Spraying should be done only when it
is necessary to keep the cuttings fresh.
On many cloudy or rainy days we do not
spray them at all. Too nuich spraying,
and especially keeping them wet over
night, will have the same liad effect on
the cuttings as it has on the growing
plants. It will start rust and spot dis-
eases and fungus.

In many cases it is sufficient to drop
the curtain and keep the strong light ott'
of them, and whenever this is enough
to prevent wilting, it is preferable. This
curtain should be tacked to the sashbars
just above the front edge of the bench,
so that it will drop just below the edge-
iioard. This will keep off the sun, while
at the same time it allows the cuttings
to get the full daylight, which will keep
them plump and healthy. When not
needed to keep the sun oil", this curtain
should be raised to allow a free circula-
tion of fresh air.

This curtain may sometimes have to
be dropped to keep off draughts when
*thcre is a high wind blowing and the

blowing over the cuttings will hurt tliem

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

Decembbb 14, 1905.

We called first at Mrs. B. C. Hooper's,
West Manchester, where William Swan
is head gardener. Everything indoors
was in excellent order. A new addition
had just been completed to one of the
ranges to give more room for orchid cul-
ture. A fine batch of calanthes were in
bloom. A batch of some fifty phalsenop-
sis were bristling with spikes. Schil-
leriana and amabilis are chiefly grown.
Cattleya trianee and Percivalliaua were
just coming into flower. The house of
cattleyas looked extremely well. Liberty,
Bride, Maid and Killarney roses are
grown. Enchantress took the lead in
carnations. White Lawson, Lady Boun-
tiful and Fiancee are also grown. The
latter is growing freely, but has as yet
produced few flowers. Some nice stand-
ard geraniums of the English round
flowered type were noted, also batches in
good shape of a general line of winter
flowering pot plants. Melons are grown
here the year round. One crop was just
finishing and another lot setting.

At W. B. Thomas', West Manchester,
where Mr. Connolly presides, we found a
nice house of roses. Carnations also
looked well, especially Lawson, White
Lawson and Enchantress. A nice deep
colored sport of the latter was noted.
Violets, antirrhinums, ericas, lilies, gar-
denias, mignonette, orchids and a variety
of other plants were seen in additional
structures.

American Beauty roses at W* S.
Spaulding's, Prides Crossing, F. Cole,
gardener, were carrying plenty of 4-foot
to 5-foot stems. Golden Gate, Bride,
Maid and Liberty also looked well. Car-
nations, especially Enchantress, were
good. In the orchid house a good batch
of Zygopetalum Mackayi was just pass-
ing out of bloom. A bench of 200
cyclamen promised a nice show early in
the new year. A new house was filled
with single violets. A large house with
artificial rockwork and winding paths is
devoted to palms. We understand addi-
tional glass for fruit culture is soon to
be erected.

Alexander Shaw, at Judge W. H.
Moore's fine new place in Prides Cross-
ing, had big gangs of men at work out-
side moving large trees, sodding, grad-
ing, etc. An immense amount of blast-
ing is being done, a large proportion of
the land being solid ledge. Indoors we
noted nice houses of carnations and roses
and a good general assortment of winter
blooming stock. The pretty white be-
gonia. Moonlight, as seen here, should
prove a desirable florists' plant. We pre-
ferred it to Gloire de Lorraine. This
will be a fine place when completed.

At Dr. Henry Sear's place at Beverley
Cove, where Mr. Mitchell has charge,
divisions are devoted to palms, roses,
carnations, nectarines and grapes and a
nice general lot of stuff was seen. Addi-
tional glass is to be built here.

One of the newest and finest places,
still somewhat in the embryo state, is
that of Henry C. Frick in Prides Cross-
ing. George E. Wyness is in charge.
He is a pupil of David Eraser, the new
secretary of the C. S. A. An immense
sum of money is being spent here on
buildings, avenues and other necessary
work. Plans have been prepared for a
splendid block of greenhouses.

Our last call during a hurried four
hours' visit was on George E. Ward in
Prides Crossing, Mr. Ward has run a
commercial plant for a good many years.
In addition to a general line of carna-
tions, violets and pot plants he grows a
large breadth of strawberries, many
frames of lettuce and about 20,000 toma-
toes in the fields, also other fruits and
vegetables. He does a large business
among the summer residents,

W. N. C.

AT RHINEBECK.

Extent of the Industry.

The little city of Ehinebeck, in the
northern end of Dutchess county, New
York, on the Hudson, opposite Kingston
and eighty-two miles from New York
City, is known throughout the length and
breadth of floriculture as the center of
the violet industry, which has here
reached such proportions that it is almost
the sole dependence of the town. In-
i deed, it is often said that the whole
of Rhinebeck lives by the violet and,
while this is not strictly true, it is a fact
that violet growing is the occupation of
a large part of the population and that
nowhere else has the violet attained the
importance it holds in this community.

The soil and climate of Ehinebeck
seem particularly suited to violet grow-
ing, and the success which attended the
- work of the pioneer growers led all

sorts and conditions of men to build
greenhouses, until there are now eighty-
five establishments in the vicinity, al-
most entirely devoted to the violet. A
great many of the growers are young
men; indeed, it is said with many evi-
dences of truth that it is only an ex-
ceptional man who can continue to be
successful year after year, and so whim-
sical is the fragrant flower that often
the green and totally inexperienced
grower will be blessed with a splendid
crop, while the best efforts of the vet-
eran grower next door will be crowned
only by failure.

The Money Reward.

Omitting one or two larger places,
the average establishment consists of a
couple of houses and shelters perhaps
9,000 plants. The plants yield from
thirty to fifty salable flowers in a suc-
cessful season. It is estimated that the
total output of the Ehinebeck community
for the season of 1905-6 will approxi-
mate fifty million blooms, and for the
district, including Poughkeepsie, about
eighty-five million. Of course the bulk
of these go to New York, but they are
also shipped to commission houses and
retail florists as far west as St. Louis,
large quantities to Chicago and to inter-
mediate cities, also to Canada. In the
season two large express wagons are re-
quired to take the boxes to Ehinecliflfe,
a couple of miles away, where they are
put on the New York Central.

In interviewing a number of growers,
it was the general opinion that it costs
about 23 cents per square foot of bed
to grow violets. Marie Louise is grown
almost exclusively. It is the unanimous
verdict that the returns have fallen away
because of overproduction until they are
no more than half what they were three
or four years ago, when violet growing
had its greatest boom. The growers say
that the average returns for the entire
season's output will not exceed 40 cents
per hundred. This, with plants in the
best of condition, free from insects and
disease, producing fifty blooms each,
would net the successful grower about 12
cents per plant.

The Future.

The general opinion among the older
growers is that it is a question if this
year's receipts will not show that the
violet business has seen its day as a
paying investment. Early as the season
now is, and with a general short crop,
the markets are overstocked, prices at
best are not what they have been and
there are many gluts, with consequent
waste of flowers, which tends to make

the margin of profit smaller than it was
last year. Already many growers are
turning their attention to stock of some
other flower for next year, and others
even are wondering how they can keep
on at all. There will be many places to
rent next season, for a large part of
those engaged in the business put up
their houses on borrowed money and fore-
closure is staring quite a number in the
face. This may account to some of the
commission dealers for the very great
unrest which is apparent in the violet
center.

A Typical Establishment.

George Saltford was the first grower
to make a success of the violet in the
section now so largely devoted to its cul-
ture. He began to grow violets in 1884,
and his son is still in the business at
Khinebeck. One by one the plants have
increased until the total is more than
four score. As an example of the more
successful ones the establishment of J,
Vender Linden will serve.

Mr. Vender Linden started in the busi-
ness in 1901 with two houses, each 12x
150. In 1903 he built another house,
24x150, with side walls five and one-
half feet high and glass in the south
side, so constructed that it will make a
very good carnation house. In this house
the beds are eight feet wide, and he has
a trolley arrangement running the full
length of the house, so that it is not
necessary for the picker to get off the
picking board until he completes his
task. In the spring of this year Mr.
Vender Linden built the house shown in
the accompanying interior view. It is
35x200, and the largest house in the
violet region. It holds 14,000 violet
plants.

Construction and Heating.

As may be seen in the picture, the iron
posts carry eight flow pipes, all being at

the same height upon adjustable sup-
ports. These flow pipes are ten feet
from the ground and are fed by one 5-
inch main from which four 4-inch flows
are taken and these in turn each supply
two 4-inch flows the full length of the
house. On each side wall there are four
4-inch returns, which gives a return for
every flow. One line of pipe on each
wall is placed close to the plate, to pre-
vent ice from forming on the glass. The
total radiation consists of 4,000 feet of
4-inch pipe, which will be enough for
carnations or roses, for which the house
can be used by simply putting in
benches; the piping will not have to be
changed.

The house is heated by a No. 5 Kroes-
chell hot water boiler which, with the
above arrangement of pipes, gives an
absolutely even temperature in all parts
of the house. The boiler is forty-two
inches wide, ten feet long and thirty-
six inches high above the ash pit. The
foundation is fourteen inches high, so
that the total height of the boiler is
only fifty inches. It has a capacity for
maintaining a temperature of 70 degrees
.in greenhouses of 12,000 square feet of
exposure when it is zero outside.

There are continuous ventilators on
both sides of the ridge of this large
violet house. On each side there is prac-
tically one ventilator 3x200 feet. Each
ventilator weighs over half a ton, but
it is raised from one end without diffi-
culty by a Wolf apparatus, made by A.
Q. Wolf & Bro., Dayton, O. The glass
ventilators in the sides of the house
are in sections of fifty feet and are oper-
ated with the Lord & Burnham worm
gear machine. In the growing season,
when top and side ventilators are opened
full, the air circulation is so perfect
as to keep the temperature about even
with the shade temperature outdoors.

j The square building at the left in the
smaller picture is Mr. Vender Linden's
' boiler and work room on the lower floor,
! thg second story arranged for office and
I sleeping rooms. In each house there is a
j thermostat connecting with a bell in the
' night fireman's room, to give warning
I should a house become dangerously cold
or warm. In addition there are regis-
tering thermometers in the houses to tell
just what has happened each night.

A propagating house 20x75 feet is now
being built along the north side of the
large house, the plates to be six feet
from the ground. This house is to be
used for young violet stock, it being Mr.
Vender Linden's intention to grow 200,-
000 for next summer. The varieties are
Marie Louise, Farquhar and Swanley
White.

The Proprietor.

All of Mr. Vender Linden's houses
were built without the help of carpenter
or steamfitter. He is only 32 years of
age, but had twelve years' experience in
mechanics before starting at violet
growing. He began work at the machin-
ists' trade when he was only 15 years
eld and is a skilled tool maker. At pres-
ent he is growing 30,000 violet plants
and is one of the largest as well as one
of the most progressive and liberal mind-
ed growers of the district.

Cultural Methods.

Asked to outline his cultural methods
Mr. Vender Linden said : "In the fall,
about October 1, we plow our sod and
when possible stack it, using well rotted
manure. By spring, when we take out
all the eld soil in the beds, the compost
is well in shape, ready to put in the
houses for new planting,

' ' I commence early in March to make
cuttings, which are only taken from the
spring growth of runners, choosing those

that are shapely and likely to make good
crowns. These cuttings are started in
sand and remain there until lifted to
be planted in the greenhouse beds, where
they are to flower. After the plants are
benched the greatest caution must be
used in watering, for if at any time in
the starting of these young plants they
get on the dry side it will give them a
check that they will not recover from in
the whole season. As the plants grow,
all runners and side crowns are cut from
the main plant.

"There are many diseases and insects
that must be fought constantly during
the growing season, for if one of these
pests ever gets the upper hand of a
grower, the flowers will certainly not be
of good quality. Cleanliness and con-
stant attention, with plenty of hard
work, are necessary to bring forth a

start in afresh. I wonder if he always
picks all the spot affected leaves and
burns in the boiler at once? And per-
haps his frames are in a damp, close
place, which favor spot. Build the new
ones high and airy, and on well drained
ground. R. E. S.

SHIPPING VIOLETS.

There is a constantly widening outlet
for the violets of the Hudson river dis-
trict. Only a few years ago all the
Rhinebeck and Poughkeepsie output wag
sold in New York City. Notv these
flowers are shipped daily to commission
houses as far west as St. Louis. Of course
they lose their fragrance, but the original
quality of the stock is so much better
than the quality of the double violets
usually produced in the west that the
New York product has practically put

J. Vonder Linden.

season's crop of violets of the quality
to command a ready sale.

"Great care is taken by the majority
of growers in bunching, leafing and pack-
ing, still there is much complaint at the
poor condition in which shipments reach
their destination. Deterioration in transit
is of course inevitable, but the grow-
ers are unanimous in saying that greater
care should be taken by the employees of
the transportation companies."

SPOT ON VIOLETS.

We have had quite a lot of trouble
with the spot on our violets for the last
year. I have tried every way to grow
them, but with little success. Don't you
think it would be a good idea to remove
the frames to a different location, say
200 or 300 yards from where I have
them? G. F.

If I were this subscriber, I would not
even take the trouble to remove the
frames, but utilize them for other plants,
and build some new ones for violets, at
the most distant point available, and

western violet growers out of business.
Grand Rapids, once the center of the
western violet industry, is growing the
fragrant flower in only small quantities
this year.

Florists in the smaller towns have not
yet fully awakened to the use they can
make of the Hudson river stock. Only
small shipping business has been done in
violets, but a great many are finding out
that they can procure the flowers in
good shape from the commission man
who supplies their roses and carnations
and are using more of them right along.
As other retailers find out how well they
travel, the shipping of violets from Buf-
falo, Cleveland, Chicago, St. Louis ano
other wholesale centers will increase and
the outlet for the Rhinebeck growers will
be still further widened.

Charlotte, N. C. — T. W. Long has
sold his greenhouses and business to W.
W. Scholtz.

Lynn, Mass. — Julia A. Bickford has
given up her business because of sick-
ness and death in the family.

SCIENTinC CEMENT.

Since cement has become so common an
article in one feature or another of
greenhouse construction, the following
from the Railway Age, if somewhat
technical, will be of interest:

While from any casual view concrete
appears as one of the simplest materials
of construction, and its ultimate sources
comprise, in addition to water, but four
distinct factors — lime and clay (for the
cement), sand and stone — nevertheless
their combination and successful practi-
cal application present uncertainties. In
the proper mixing of cement, with gravel
or with sand and broken stone, for the
manufacture of concrete, the persistence
of unscientific methods, after a series of
investigations unparalleled for magnitude
during any equal period in the history of
engineering, must remain something of a
mystery.

In order to reach a true conception of
the object to be attained in the making
of concrete, it is necessary first to agree
upon its factors, and these are: (a) The
greatest reasonable strength; (b) the
least cost of materials for a given vol-
ume; (c) an accurate basis upon which
to combine the elements for securing (a)
and (b). To these we should add the
desirability of embodying in (c) a cor-
rect measure of the volume, and here is
found the first diflSculty, because, hither-
to, specifications have dealt only with
proportions or percentages and not with
fixed dimensions: "Cement, 1; sand,
314; broken stone, 6," whether in pails,
wheelbarrows or barrels — a phrase giving
absolutely no suggestion of what volume
is to be expected. In a general way we
know that, by and large, a barrel of ce-
ment will be used to a cubic yard of
concrete in place, but this is true in many
instances and utterly false in others.

Theoretically, the voids in the broken
stone should be filled exactly by the sand,
and the voids in the sand should be
filled exactly by the cement, in order that
a compact and economic whole shall re-
sult; at the same time, the addition of
the sand and cement should not add ap-
preciably to the original volume of the
stone. But practically, a perfect coat-
ing of cement must surround each separ-
ate particle of sand and stone and, to
secure this, more than the quantity of
cement predicted by the voids must be
used. In effect cement usually is wasted
inexcusably with the idea that the richer
the mixture the stronger the concrete,
whereas it needs but a moment's thought
to prove that, with all voids filled, all
surfaces perfectly coated and brought
into contact by thorough ramming, no
increased strength will follow any addi-
tion of cement, be it little or great. In
the quantity of water used, also, engi-
neers exhibit a range of practice which
is anything but creditable. From a mere
dash which is absorbed so quickly that
the mixture must be rushed into place in
order that any effective "setting" shall
result, it may become a drenching which
reduces the concrete to a fluid and, even
if no other injury follows, leaves it
honeycombed with microscopic voids. For-
tunately, Portland cement cannot be
drowned so easily as its "natural"
brother or we should be in a bad way
indeed.

Illustrating: One of the Best and Most Frequent Uses of Wild Smilax*

WORKING WITH WILD SMILAX.

Where to get ideas for new de-
Higns for wall, woodwork and stairway
decorations is an easier question to
solve than which ones of the many which
present themselves in a country ramble
to choose and adopt. Outdoor vines,
when left to themselves, assume many in-
teresting and suggestive positions. One
seen in early autumn, a hop vine climb-
ing across a window, was cut and used
as a drape across the comer of a wide
doorway. The lighter portion below was
caught up on its right with a bunch of
scarlet cannas.

The same design might easUy be
worked out by tying a cluster of
four or five strings of smilax together
at the heavy ends, after the fashion of
the upper part of the hop vine, and train-
ing the light ends like the lower part.
Bcarlet carnations might be substituted
for the cannas. Another slender spray
of the vine ran toward the left, and the
idea might be adapted in this particular
too, the added portion of the drape ex-
tending to the farthest corner of the
doorway.

The illustration shows a series of four
out of the five in a church chancel dec-
orated in wild smilax. The second from
the left, where the cross is seen, is the
middle arch. A background of white
cheesecloth covers the dark plaster work
of the wall, and serves as a good ma-
terial to bring out the details of the
green sprays.

Observe first that each arch is a unit
of itself, and that while they are much

alike in pattern, there is a difference in
the weight of the material used, grading
from the heavier arch at the right to the
next and finally to the most delicate in
the center arch.

Large pins were used for fastening the
smilax on the cheesecloth. Two pins
placed, one at each end of the smilax
spray are sufficient to hold it in place.

Observe second, that there is a finish
to the design on the right arch, to take
away any appearance of bluntness, as the
eye passes to the right.

Observe third, that the space in the
arches is not all covered. A fraction of
the background appears like an irregular
opening to a stretch of foliage in the
woods. Gertrude Blair.

Vegetable Forcing.

The lettuce forcers in the vicinity of
Chicago have had a very bad early sea-
son, but anticipate a merry Christmas,
for good Grand Rapids lettuce is now
bringing 3 to 4 cents a plant.

The forcing of tomatoes for the Chi-
cago market is an industry which is yet
in its infancy. A number of growers are
having fair success with the crop but
are complaining of the present market.
The season has been exceptionally favor-
able in lower California and the refriger-
ated product is coming to market in very
fine shape, recent prices being $1.40 per

four basket crate. This does not leave
much chance for the greenhouse product.

VEGETABLE MARKETS.

Boston, December 12. — Cucumbers, $2
to $6 box; tomatoes, 20c to 25c lb.;
mushrooms, 50c to 60c lb.; radishes, $1
box; lettuce, 25c to 35c doz.; parslev,
$1 box.

Neav York, December 12.— Cucumbers
Boston, No. 1, 75c to 90c doz.; No. 2,
$1.50 to $3.50 box; head lettuce, 20c to
40c doz. ; radishes, $2 to $3 100 bunches ;
mushrooms, 25c to 65c lb.; tomatoes,
10c to 15c lb.

ENGLISH CUCUMBERS.

The English varieties of cucumbers are
not generally grown on this side of tlie
Atlantic; not, in my opinion, so much as
their merits deserve, but I am glad to see
from numerous inquiries that there is
some demand for them. The lack of de-
mand seems to be where the trouble lies.
The public seems to prefer the shorter
varieties of the White Spine type, pos-
sibly bcause they see very little, if any,
of the others and when they do see them
are uncertain regarding their quality.

From a grower's point of view I do
not think there is a great deal of differ-
ence, for I do not believe there is any
more money to be made out of the one
than out of the other; consequently the

SCIENTIFIC CEMENT.

since cement has become so common an
article in one feature or another of
greenhouse construction, the following
from the Railway Ago, if somewhat
technical, %vill be of interest:

While from any casual view concrete
appears as one of the simplest materials
of construction, and its ultimate sources
comprise, in aclditiou to water, but four
distinct factors — lime and clay (for the
cement), sand and stone — nevertheless
their combination and successful practi-
cal application 2>i'eseut uncertainties. In
the proper mixing of cement, with gravel
or with sand and broken stone, for the
manufacture of concrete, the persistence
of unscientific methods, after a series of
investigations unparalleled for magnitude
during any equal period in the history of
engineering, must remain something of a
mystery.

In order to reach a true conception of
the object to be attained in the making
of concrete, it is necessary first to agree
upon its factors, and these are: (a) The
greatest reasonable strength; (b) the
least cost of materials for a given vol-
ume: (c) an accurate basis upon which
to combine the elements for securing (a)
and (b). To these we should add the
slesirability of embodying in (c) a cor-
rect measure of the volume, and here is
found the first difficulty, because, hither-
to, specifications have dealt only with
proi)ortions or percentages and not with
fixed dimensions: "Cement. 1; sand.
SYj; broken stone, 6," whether in pails,
wheelbarrows or barrels — a phrase giving
absolutely no suggestion of what volume
is to be expected. In a general way we
know that, by and large, a barrel of ce-
ment will bo used to a cubic yard of
concrete in place, but this is true in many
instances and utterly false in others.

Theoretically, the voids in the broken
stone should be filled exactly by the sand,
ami the voids in the sand should be
filled, exactly by the cement, in order that
a compact and economic ■whole shall rc-
sidt ; at the same time, the addition of
the sand and cement should not add ap-
preciably to the original volume of the
stone. ]-5nt practically, a perfect coat-
ing of cement must surround each separ-
ate jiarticle of sand and stone and, to
sei ure this, more than the quantity of
lenient predicted by the voids must be
used. In effect cement usually is wasted
inexcusably with the idea that the richer
the mixture the stronger the concrete,
wiiereas it needs but a moment's thought
to jirovo that, with all voids filled, all
surfaces ]ierfectly coated and brought
into contact by thorough ramming, no
iiK-reased strengtii will follow any addi-
tion of cement, be it little or great. In

is anything but creditable. From a mere

grower has no incentive to push the long-
er variety, since the shorter variety is
always surer of a market.

The chief advantage in the growing of
the English type is that they will swell to
full size without being pollinated, when
the pollinating of the White Spine type
is essential to the growth of the cucum-
ber and often entails a good deal of
trouble unless provision is made to have
bees to do the work.

The chief advantage for table use in
the English type is the absence of seeds,
which, although the fruits swell to full
size, do not develop in the fruit unless
the flower has been pollinated. Pol-

lination, therefore, is only necessary when
seed is desired. Regarding flavor and
tenderness there is very little difference,
providing both varieties are taken at the
proper stage.

The varieties of this type are quite
numerous, among them being Sion
House, Duke of Edinburgh, Blue Gown,
Tender and True, etc., but for practical
purposes none of them beat the Tele-
graph variety. The others differ from
this in attaining greater length or deeper
color, and may generally be classed more
as show varieties, but it is doubtful if
any of them excels in table qualities.

ROSES IN POTS.

POOR SOIL.

Several weeks ago I wrote you a query
as to blind wood on roses, which was an-
swered very promptly. After carefully
studying your answer and the cultural
notes in the Review from week to week
I fail to find any fault with my culture
sufficient to account for so much weak
and blind growth. Foliage is fine and
has dropped little. I have come to the
conclusion that the trouble lies in the
soil. Perhaps it was sour. I cut the
sod last spring from the ditches along
the county road, piled it with alternate
layers of cow manure, one to four; cut it
down in May, turned it twice and put it
on the benches in June. It is next to
impossible to get sod from the fields
and I am compelled to get it from the
roadside, which very likely is sour from
being wet so much. After reading your
answer to my query I followed your ad-
vice with an application of lime, one peck
to 250 square feet of bench. How soon
can I lime again? I have this fall pre-
pared a large pile of this sod for next
spring's use. How had I best treat it
to have it sweet? I am a beginner, this
being my third season, and a large part
of what success I have had I credit to

it sweet and encourage the eyes to break
stronger and give stiffness to the stems
and tone to the foliage. An application
of manure water once a week should,
seeing that there is good root action,
help to strengthen the growth.

If the blind wood is very dense it
might be profitable to give it a judicious
thinning out. This would help to divert
the strength of the plants to the remain-
ing eyes and so produce good stems, but
I would advise caution in this proceed-
ing, as at this season, when stock is prone
to take a rest, it is not good policy to
denude the plants of too much foliage,
as this is apt to check root action and
plants during the short days are eager
to obey the dictates of nature on very
little excuse.

The treatment of the soil already piled
is so far correct but because of its na-
ture it should, as soon as the weather

I would like to ask advice on roses in
pots for Easter. On account of frost
holding off so late this fall, when we
lifted our roses from the field they were
still very green in foliage. They were
lifted about November 25 and were put
in a pit and kept as cool as possible with-
out freezing. It is about time to pot
them and they are still quite green. What
is it best to do with themf Would it be
well to let them freeze in the pit before
taking them out? Will one-year-old
plants of Dorothy Perkins bloom for
Easter? C. J. R.

It is a pity you did not have patience
to wait until the roses were fully ripe
before lifting and storing, as ripeness
makes the result of forcing much more
satisfactory. The best proceeding would
be to pot them and place them in a house
with a temperature not to exceed 45
degrees for at least two weeks. As the
buds begin to develop the temperature
should be gradually increased until it
reaches. 58 degrees.

Careful observation will be required in
the matter of temperature to time them
properly. If they seem to be coming too
early the temperature should be reduced
or raised slightly if too slow.

If the one-year-old stock of Dorothy
Perkins is strong and well ripened fair
success can be had but two-year-old stock
is preferable.

The greatest care is required to keep
the plants free from red spider, as this
pest is the worst enemy this class of
stock has to contend with. Feeding should
be withheld until the plants show buds,
when a weak application of manure
water can be given once a week. Ribes.

reading the Review.

J. P. K.

I also am forced to think that part of
the trouble may arise from the quality
of soil used, as I have rarely seen good
results from soil gathered from ditches.
The very fact that it comes from a ditch
would account for its sourness and roses
particularlv object to any sourness of
soil. But "possibly the plants may have
been propagated from an inferior grade
of wood, which would account for so
very much blind wood forming.

For soil of this quality a good sprink-
ling of lime every two weeks will be
of great benefit, as this will help to keep

MUM SHOW AT CORNELL.

The Horticultural Club, better known
as the Lazy Club, of Cornell University,
held the annual chrysanthemum show at
the forcing houses a couple of weeks ago.
It was a grand success and in fact it
was the finest show the club has ever
held.

At the meeting there were several
short talks given on chrysanthemums by
the students and also one by Mr. Hunn,
the gardener of the department. Much
enthusiasm was shown by the students
of the Department of Horticulture and
it is hoped that the floral side of the
work of this department will continue to

grow in importance as the years come
around.

The exhibition was greatly assisted
by the interest and kindness of several
florists in the vicinity and elsewhere.
Among those who sent samples of their
fine blooms were Prof. J. F. Cowell, of
the Buffalo Botanic Gardens; William
Scott and William F. Kasting, of Buf-
falo; John Rudy, gardener for Senator
Fassett, of Elmira, and George Bayer,
of Toledo.

This kind of effort is very important
from the standpoint of the student, in
that it brings him in with the intimate
acquaintance with the characteristics and
qualities of the individual varieties. The

It is gratifying to note that the flor-

interest and cooperation in the educa-

splendid opportunity for effective con-

SOUTHERN MUMS.

The accompanying illustration shows
Jerome Jones chrysanthemum as grown
by H. J. Venn, at Mobile, Ala. A com-
parison of the size of the bloom with
the plants and the surroundings shows
that the success with the crop was a
notable one, considering that they were
grown outdoors for the whole period and
without any protection whatever. Mr.
Venn writes as follows:

"I planted Jerome Jones, Mrs. H. W.
Robinson and W. Duckham the first week
in June, and the first of July gave them
a mulch of old cow manure, and the
latter part of July I gave them a good
dressing of bone meal, as I thought the
stems looked rather weak. I took the
bud of Robinson August 15, Jones and
Duckham, September 1, and as at that
time I noticed the roots were on the
surface, I gave them another mulching
to keep the roots from burning, as they
were planted in the full sun and in the
'tin here in August means some hot.

Green fly troubled me some on the start,
but a few sprayings of tobacco water got
rid of them. The heavy rains we had
here in October ruined nearly all of
Robinson and about twenty-flve of
Duckham, but I did not lose one of
Jones. You will notice they are leafed
right up to the flower, and the leaves are
of a dark green color, making a great
contrast with the pure white of the
flower.

"I shall not try growing them in the

open again without a shelter to put over
them after the bud is taken, as our
heavy rains we get here make it too
risky. ' '

bright rose pink seedling chrysanthemum
at Philadelphia on the day that Mayor
Weaver drove his opponents to cover in
the November election, and made a hit
by naming the variety for the city's ex-
ecutive. It is a cross of Mme. Perrin
and A. J. Balfour and an improvement
both in color and size. If is perfectly
double from either bud, but larger and
better flowers are produced from crown
buds taken August 30 to September 5.
It easily attains a diameter of seven
inches and height of four to four and
one-half . feet. The stiff Perrin stem is
well clothed •mth heavy foliage to the
flower, which is a loose tlapanese incurved
of a bright rose pink color with glisten-
ing lighter reverse. It equals either par-
ent in substance. Its season is Novem-
ber 1 to 5. Owing to a misfortune in
transit. Smith & Son were unable to pre-
sent suitable blooms to the C. S. A. com-
mittee for certification. The variety was
shown at Chicago November 10, and re-
ceived the certificate of the Horticul-
tural Society of Chicago, scoring 88
points.

BREITMEYER'S OPENING.

In the opening of the new store of
John Breitmeyer's Sons, in their own
new building, itself the most modern in
Detroit, the public will find one of the
most elaborate and complete flower
stores in this country. The store proper,
which is about 50x75 feet, with lofty
ceiling, has been designed in the classic
style of an early Italian period. The
floor is of white Italian marble, mosaic
finished, with a small Grecian key bor-
der in black and yellow marble. The
entire room is wainscoted to a height
of about five feet with Paonazzo marble.
The walls from the top of the wains-
coting to the cornice are finished with
large French mirror plates, finished with
a frame of Roman gold.

Ledges to support cut glass vases and
antique pottery jardinieres filled with
flowers and plants are made of the same
marble and follow the top line of the
wainscoting. The ceiling, which is di-
vided into large panels by heavily oma-

Jerome Jones Chrysanthemum in the Open at Mobile.

mented beams, is richly frescoed in deep
blue, representing the Italian sky. Four
columns of Verde antique marble sup-
port the beams of the ceiling and are
finished with rich capitals in antique
Boman gold.

In the east end of the store is the rose
room, which will be cooled by a cold air
device, thereby doing away with the
mess usually made in handling ice. This
room is constructed entirely of plate
glass and mirrors, with marble tables
to hold the ornamental vases of roses.
Above the rose room is a small balcony
provided for an orchestra.

The north end of the room is devoted
to the oflBce, wrapping table, ribbon case
and a handsome rosewood case containing
customers' cards.

In another corner of this beautiful
store, we find an old Carrara marble
fountain, brought from Florence. It
is beautifully sculptured, with three
basins, and being plainly visible from
the street, it can be used to very good
advantage for displaying a variety of
flowers.

All the furnishings of the room, in-
cluding large tables and benches, is of
classic design, well sculptured in Car-
rara marble, with heavy Verde antique
marble tops. This furniture was all
carved in Florence, Italy, under direction
of Signor Nenciollini, one of Florence's
finest sculptors.

Great attention has also been given to
the scheme of lighting. The main chan-
delier suspended from the center panel
in the ceiling is of Eoman gold and
crystal and is copied from one of the
chandeliers in an ancient Italian palace.
The side lights are also of rich orna-
mental bronze and Eoman gold, finished
with rich crystal prisms.

The basement under the store is de-
voted to workroom, storage, ice box, pot-
ting bench, etc. To make a long story
short, the whole building is certainly
a grand monument to the trade.

The store was opened to the public,
with due formality, on Tuesday, Decem-
ber 12, but engraved invitations were
sent out to the trade for an inspection
on Monday evening, which brought out
not only all Detroit florists, but many
from a distance. The Breitmeyer brand
of hospitality is well known, and the
guests had full opportunity to inspect

this wonderful store. There could be
no question as to the verdict. The many
nice things they said to .the proprietors
were not flattery, being well merited.
Among the out-of-town visitors were
Messrs. Smith and Fetters and J. M.
Gasser, of Cleveland; Henry Smith and
Eli Cross, Of Grand Eapids; J. A. Peter-
son, Cincinnati; G. A. Heinl, of Toledo,
and many others from near-by towns.

Smith & Fetters sent two novel at-
tractions in the shape of a hat and cor-
sage bouquet, the main part being a
head of kale trimmed with orchids, val-
ley, violets, etc.

B. Schroeter sent a vase of his rose
pink sport of Enchantress.

Poehlmann Bros. Co. sent a fine vase
of Sunrise roses.

J. A. Peterson sent a specimen plant
of Gloire de Lorraine begonia and also
a fine plant of the white variety. Turn-
ford Hall.

Harry Bunyard sent a silver horseshoe.

A TANTALIZING ADDRESS.

[Delivered to Edward Neville on the occasion
of his assuming the office of President of the
Germantown Horticultural Society for the
eighth time.]

I have been asked, Mr. President, by
the executive committee, to say a few
words to you on this occasion. It is
seven years since three members of this
committee waited on you to ask you to
accept the highest oflace in the gift of
the Germantown Horticultural Society.
They poured broadside after broadside
of argument upon you, without effect,
until, happily, one of them urged that
they wanted a president who would pre-
side, not a mere figurehead. This argu-
ment, Mr. President, proved effective,
and you have filled the office since that
time with honor to the society and credit
to yourself.

Seven years! This recalls a curious
custom among our progressive neighbors,
the Japanese. In Japan the marriage
contract lasts for exactly seven years.
At the expiration of that time the wo-
man is free to marry another man. The
man is also free to marry another wo-
man, or they may remarry for another
seven years.

Seven years! Have you ever asked
yourself the question, Mr. President,

"Am I the best man to occupy the chair
of this society?"

Have you thought of the bright blue
eye and the kindly smile of the senior
vice-president, how they would light with
pleasure were he asked to sit in the chair
which you now fill? Have you asked
yourself the question, Mr. President,
"Am I a better man that Charles J.
Wister?"

Have you thought of the second vice-
president; of how well the experience
gained over the unruly coolies of India
would fit him to rule over our turbulent
meetings? Have you asked yourself the
question, Mr. President, "Am I a better
man than the Eev. Francis Heylf"

Have you thought of the junior vice-
president, with what wild joy he would
discover a new Asplenium Ebenoides,
were he asked to take your place? Have
you asked yourself the question, Mr.
President, "Am I a better man than
Edwin C. Jellett?"

Have you thought of the secretary and
treasurer, with what pride he would
send out the society's notices with the
words, "President, secretary and treas-
urer of the Germantown Horticultural
Society," printed under his name? Have
you asked yourself the question, Mr.
President, "Am I a better man than
George Eedles?"

Have you thought of N. Dubois Miller,
with his vast legal knowledge? Of C. S.
"Wertsner, with his world-encompassing
business experience? Of Frank Miles
Day, with his great knowledge of land-
scape architecture and gardens of old?
Of S. Mendelson Meehan, with his execu-
tive experience gained in managing a
department of the corporation that bears
his father 's name? Of John F. Sibson,
who rules over the McKean estate with
power as autocratic as that of the czar
himself? Of Albert Woltemate, with

The Breitmeyer Building.

his martial bearing? Of Peter McGowan,
with his wonderful new greenhouse?
Have you asked yourself the question,
Mr. President, "Am I a better man
than each and all of these?"

I do not know, Mr. President, whether
you have asked yourself these questions,
or whether you have given the matter
any thought, but we have, and we feel
that much as we value every one of
these and many other members, there is

not one of them whom we would wish
to see in your place. We fully appre-
ciate the sacrifice that you have made to
attend our meetings regularly, and the
ability which you have displayed in pre-
siding over them. As a small token of
our esteem we wish you to accept this
bouquet of floral gems (handing him a
bunch of fancy carnations) in which we
have been careful to place a few blos-
soms of Prosperity.

President Neville was unable to find
words with which to respond.

SAMUEL HENSHAW.

The last of thirteen, three score years
and ten, and good for many years to
eome, Samuel Henshaw is a well pre-
served and interesting personality. At a
notable dinner not a score of years ago
thirteen of the leading lights of the
horticulture of that day sat down. They
were all men who left their impress on
the trade and indeed on all time. Peter
Henderson was one, founder of the busi-
ness which bears his name. Another was
John Henderson, his brother, of Flush-
ing, L. I.; James Taplin, whose brother
at Detroit is one of the oldest florists;
James Murkland, with Wm. Elliott for
many years, and Wm. Elliott himself,
the head of the Dey street seed house
now continued on Pulton street by his
sons; Wm. Davidson, with Peter Hender-
son, who assisted in the completion of
the Dictionary of Gardening; Wm. Ben-
nett, of Flatbush; Thos. Tate, of Staten
Island; Water Reid, the wholesale flor-
ist; Isaac Buchanan, the first of the
Astoria growers; Wm. Wilson, of As-
toria, and W. S. Cottam, the landscape
architect, of Yonkers; these were present
with Mr. Henshaw that night and all are
gone save "the youngest man of his
generation," whose temperate living and
sunny nature have caused him to grow
youthful in spirit while he is growing
old in years.

Samuel Henshaw.

Samuel Henshaw was born at Man-
chester, England, nearly eighty years ago
and learned his gardening under his
father, one of the thorough plantsmen
of that day. He came to America in
1868 with a ripe experience, taking
charge of the Green estate on Staten
Island, where he remained for twenty-
one years. In 1890 he began his work as
a landscape gardener, spending five years
in the development of the New York

Wreath of Boxwood Sprays.

Botanical Garden. He laid out the
grounds of the new Columbia University
and in doing so safely moved two Eng-
lish yews over 100 years old, with balls
of earth each weighing fifty-five tons.
These now occupy the court of honor in
front of Low Library. Mr. Henshaw laid
out many of the fine estates near New
York and some in other sections, and is
now retired, living on Staten Island close
to the scene of his early labors and in
the enjoyment of a green old age with
the conveniences of a well earned com-
petence. He is in touch with everything
horticultural, a constant attendant at the
meetings and exhibitions of the Ameri-
can Institute, and a great traveler, only
recently having visited Europe and the
West Indies. J. Austin Shaw.

BOXWOOD WREATHS.

Boxwood has come into favor with
many of the leading retail florists and
is used in large quantities by some who
have reputations for turning out work
of the very highest character. It is used
for all sorts of purposes; its dark green
lich foliage combines nicely with almost
any flower, and it is used for filling
in baskets and boxes of flowers as well
as in making up designs. A leading
Chicago retailer sends out many wreaths
made entirely of boxwood, with a ribbon,
and others in which flowers are used,
principally at the point of attaching a
ribbon.

The accompanying illustration is a
wreath made by a Pittsburg retailer. He
used in it three pounds of boxwood

sprays at 15 cents per pound. It took
thirty minutes' time, for which he
charged 50 cents; two yards of ribbon
at 25 cents per yard, an 18-inch wire
frame costing 20 cents, and 25 cents'
worth of tin foil, moss and twine. The
wreath then stood him $1.90 and he sold
it for $8. A decoration of flowers with
the ribbon would add much to its ap-
pearance and would increase the cost
accordingly.

Boxwood sprays have become a very
popular decorative evergreen for Christ-
mas and its use for work, such as
wreaths for cemetery purposes, is be-
ing rapidly extended. It is very endur-
ing and stands the atmospheric condi-
tions and exposure outdoors longer than
any other green. It is used largely with
immortelles in balls, wreaths and garlands
for home and ball room deccrations.
Combined with statice, boxwood is espe-
cially effective, and the ingenuity of any
practical cut flower worker will suggest
many other combinations which will
make boxwood a source of profit.

The boxwood sprays come from Vir-
ginia and are usually shipped in barrels
or boxes. The eastern trade was the
first to handle them, at 18 cents per
pound, which left only a fair margin of
profit, but when leading western retail-
ers wanted supplies the eastern whole-
salers thought that any money taken out
of the western communities was pure
profit and they made the price 15 cents
per pound on good-size orders. This
has established the rate which now pre-
vails in Pittsburg, Chicago and other
western centers. It leaves the wholesaler
not much for his trouble.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

Business has been good the past week.
Bright weather served to assist in ad-
vancing stock, but production has been
cheeked this week by return to lower
temperature, or is it that the growers
have an intimation that Christmas is
coming? At any rate receipts are lighter.
Funeral work and decorating keeps local
retailers on the jump and shipping trade
has improved materially since the chry-
santhemums have been used up.

The Beauty crops are in excellent
shape. Supplies are large and stock was
never finer. Stem and foliage are strong,
buds large and color at its best. There
has been something of a let-down in
the quality of tea roses. A large part
of the receipts are now grading soft,
short or weak-stemmed, but there are a
few magnificent flowers to be had. Chate-
nay is in superb form. Bed roses are not
in large supply for the growers are doing
what they can toward holding back for
the Christmas demand.

The carnation market is again fairly
active on reduced receipts. Quality is no
cause for complaint, but white stock is
not moving as rapidly as ,tjie growers
would like to see just before the holi-
days. The flood of violets' has subsided
but values are not what they have been
in previous years.

There continues to be a good demand
for Harrisii and callas, of which the
supply is not large, but Komans and es-
pecially Paper Whites are abundant and
selling at low prices. Very good Paper
Whites are seen. Stevia is in large sup-
ply and selling well because everyone is
using it for filling. Good mignonette is
scarce but there are quantities of poorer
stock. A few sweet peas are seen and a
little bouvardia. There is no change in
the situation as to greens.

Christmas Prospects.

Christmas price lists indicate a consen-
sus of opinion that the holiday market
will not be far different from its prede-
cessors. Not reflected in many price
lists is a feeling that Beauties will be
exceptionally abundant this year. Crops
are now large and the big growers say
there is no prospect of diminution. Red
roses will, of course, be very much short
of the demand. Brides and Maids will
not be in full crop, but there will be
enough except of the special fancy stock.
This always sells quickly. The special
fancy grade is not mentioned in most
price lists for the reason that the city
retailers will take all that is offered at
prices above what the out-of-town buyers
will pay. Carnation crops promise to be
large and probably enough for all orders
except those calling for red and special
fancy Enchantress, etc. These are the
staple items. The miscellaneous stock
will be in large supply and in the price
lists is not advanced appreciably over
present values.

Wise growers will not hold back stock.
The market is sure to be strong for a
week before Christmas. Stale stock can-
not go out on shipping orders and will
only serve to break the market. Keep
the stock coming and it will realize good
values right through.

A Thanksgiving Story.

Four or five days before Thanksgiving
there was an excellent demand for carna-
tions, and light receipts. A certain com-

mission man sent to one of his growers
one evening for 1,000 carnations to fill
an order at $3 per hundred. The grower
refused to let him have them, remarking
to the messenger that carnations would
be "worth a whole lot more money in a
couple of days. ' ' The day before Thanks-
giving that grower sent in 6,000 carna-
tions and he was exceedingly lucky that
his returns averaged $1.80. Moral : Ap-
ply it to Christmas.

Various Notes.

There was a meeting of flower show
committees at the ofl&ce of the Benthey-
Coatsworth Co. on December 12 at which
accounts were audited and affairs wound
up. While it has been found to be not
a cheap proposition to run a show of
this magnitude, the financial result is
very satisfactory and leaves a nice nest-
egg for next year.

Chrysanthemums are pretty well out
of the market, but the A. L. Randall
Co. has a 'grower who is coming in with
a nice crop of Christmas Eve for Christ-
mas.

Louis Dreher, at Deerfield, 111., is send-
ing in a nice lot of single violets, but
they are not netting him anything like
the returns they did last year. It is the
general experience of all violet growers.
At the funeral of John V. Kopf, De-
cember (5, there was one of the largest
floral displays ever seen in the city. He
was a politician and died as the result
of an election brawl. The west side
retailers nearly all. shared in the work.
Bassett & Washburn are cutting some
very nice La Detroit and are almost the
only ones growing this rose here.

John Sinner says the success of Christ-
mas does not depend nearly so much on
how high the price goes on extra fancy
stock as it does on what market there is
for short roses and such items as Paper
Whites and callas. The fancy stock
always sells.

E. H. Hunt's people are pleased to
report that the worst of the rush on sup-
plies is over; nearly all orders out.

M. G. Holding, who has been nineteen
years with the Sprague, Smith Co. and
who has sold millions of feet of green-
house glass, has resigned his position to
take the management of the Chicago of-
fice of the American Window Glass Co.
The Benthey-Coatsworth Co. is getting
a cut of special fancy Brides and Brides-
maids similar to the one which came on
at this season last year.

Kennicott Bros. Co. had a shipping
order for 8,000 carnations last Friday.
They filled it.

Baumann & Co. say that they have sold
three times as many folding paper
Christmas bells this year as last, but the
price was considerably reduced.

George Harrer, at Morton Grove, has
entirely discontinued growing cut flowers
and has his place planted to lettuce, cu-
cumbers and tomatoes.

One of the week's visitors was C. A.
Schaeffer, of Kansas City. Mr. Schaeffer
has recently opened a wholesale cut flower
and supply establishment and a new re-
tail store which is one of the best in the
west. He now has 17,000 square feet of
glass for miscellaneous plants and is hav-
ing plans made for a range of 500,000
square feet to be erected at Lenexa,
Kan., thirteen miles from Kansas City.
About 40,000 feet of this range will be
put up in the early spring and added to
as circumstances require. One of the
advantages will be heat by natural gas.
O. W. Frese, at Poehlmann 's, says

that they have booked several orders for
Richmond for Christmas at $6 per
dozen.

Some of the stock now going out is
intended for Christmas. One buyer asked
for shipment December 13 and frankly
stated that he expected to hold the stock
for his Christmas trade!

Weiland & Risch say that increased de-
mand for Killarney and Wellesley for
Christmas is already apparent. As the
stock improves these roses grow in popu-
larity.

E. F. Winterson Co. reports increasing
demand for boxwood sprays. This is
rapidly becoming the popular green.

The Wdnandy establishment is sending
some good roses and carnations to Zech
& Mann. A large part of the place is
now planted with lettuce.

George Reinberg has hit the market
just right with his Beauty crop two years
in succession, which not all growers can
say.

Peter Reinberg has been having a very
fine cut of Richmond roses, and just as
it is passing off a big crop of Liberty
comes on.

Vaughan & Sperry contemplate enlarg-'
ing their supply department. They are
doing quite a business in < "hristmas bells,
immortelles, etc.

Phil Foley is getting around all right
after his recent experience at the hospital
and will soon be as hard at work as ever.
The firm reports a very satisfactory
season in 1905 and much building in
sight for 1906.

E. C. Amling received poinsettias last
week and expects large supplies until
after the holidays.

Percy Jones says that his growers ex-
press themselves as well pleased with the
results of the chrysanthemum season;
most of his stock was of the medium
grade, that sells at $8 to $10 per hun-
dred and moves quickly.

Bert Budlong feels very highly hon-
ored by an invitation to contribute an
article on flower farming under glass
to the forthcoming Cyclopedia of Ameri-
can Agriculture, but says the only liter-
ary experience his work has given him
has been in signing checks.

A. Dietsch Co. has been granted a
patent on a metal strip to prevent ice
from forming under and breaking the
glass at the gutter.

C. W. McKellar says cattleyas will
be in the same class with long Beauties
for Christmas, one simoleon each for the
best.

Increased coal consumption in Novem-
ber, as compared to a year ago, has
caused inquiry as to weather conditions.
The mean temperature for November,
1905, was 41 degrees as compared to 43
degrees in 1904 and 39 degrees average
for thirty-four years. Of greater impor-
tance was wind velocity, which averaged
eighteen miles per hour, about one-fifth
greater than usual. The prevailing direc-
tion was southwest.

Club meeting tonight. President-elect
Hauswirth and his staff will take hold.

DATE OF EASTER.

Easter of 1906 falls on April 15,
eight days earlier than in 1905.

If we could get as much return for
every dollar we spend as we get for the
one which pays for fifty-two visits of the
Review, we would have been rich long
ago. — Nick Greivelding, Merrill. Wis.

Angelus and Alpha Bells are made in

i'onvenience of those who want to sell these

March 15, 1904

COPYRIGHTED

In reply to many inquiries, we wish to
state that we do not manufaeture paper
bells, and do not intend to do so. We find
they are utterly unsatisfactory; they accum-
ulate dust and dirt to an incredible degree
and lose their shape so that they soon lose
all semblance to the shape of a bell. They
(Satisfy neither buyer nor seller. They may
be all right for 5 and 10-cent stores, where
they are found in profusion, but not for
florists. They are all played out with florists
in the east, and will soon be played out in
the west.

Alpha Christmas Bells

A medium priced Bell, but as good as the best as has ever been put on the market. Perfect and graceful in shape, bright and attractive
in color. They are strongly and flrmly made-*asily handled— no chance for breakage.

SWEET PEAS.

I wish to plant some sweet peas out
of 2% -inch pots. How far apart should
they be planted and how may they best
be supported! S. T. D.

These peas, if planted on a table or
raised bench, would be about right if
planted in rows one foot apart and eight
inches between plants in the row. If
solid beds are used the distances should
be sixteen inches between rows and one
foot between plants.

Of course a good deal depends on the
quality of the soil whether the plants
produce a luxuriant growth of straw.
The best results are obtained from rather
poor, sandy soil, which will stand con-
siderable feeding after the buds begin
to appear.

Good supports can be made from wire
chicken netting of from 3-inch to 5-inch
mesh, or the supports can be made of No.
IG galvanized wire stretched on stakes
and the straw trained within the lines.
B.

THE CONTRACT SYSTEM.

In his report as Colorado state vice-
president of the S. A. F., J. A. Valen-
tine, of Denver, said:

"The disposition to rely upon con-
tracts between growers and retailers,
providing for the disposal of the entire
output for the season still continues, and
this has prevented throwing any consid-
erable amount of surplus stock upon the
market, so that prices have kept remark-
ably steady. The prices obtained are
never high as compared with the highest
prices obtained in some of the large
eastern cities; but on the other hand, I

there have never been any times when
stock has been sold at the extremely low
figures which have prevailed at these
points. This condition undoubtedly in-
ures to the advantage of both retailer
and grower, but it is doubtful whether
the contract system could ever be so gen-
erally adopted as to produce the same
beneficial results in cities that do a tre-
mendous wholesale business."

THE IDEAL SALESMAN.

[The following, by John P. Rlscta, is the
shortest essay In the prize contest recently con-
ducted by the Eevlew's Philadelphia correspond-
ent; It has the meat In a nutshell.]

Below, briefly stated, I give what in
my opinion constitutes the ideal sales-
man:

First. — He must be courteous, have a
"Nice day" for everybody and always
Jeave his customer smiling.

Second. — Nothing should be a trouble
that will help to serve a customer. He
must be ever ready to answer questions,
lend ear to all the customer has to say
and appear deeply interested, and by all
means, should never show signs of be-
coming aggravated.

Third. — The secret of success in the
ideal salesman is giving the customer
what he wants, the way he wants it and
when he wants it. Close doesn't count;
he has to give him exactly what he wants.
No matter how close he comes to it, if
he doesn 't do it, he is as badly off as if
he didn't try.

Fourth. — He must be truthful. The
ideal salesman must, in order to win
and hold his trade, be truthful and never
misrepresent to the customer. His confi-
dence is what he needs, for when this is
gone all is lost.

More might be s£ud, but I am of the
opinion that by adhering strictly to the
above four rules, you have the ideal
salesman.

BUFFALO.

Weather and Trade.
Some real winter, particularly dark
days, and the exit of chrysanthemums
has made the demand for roses and car-
nations much greater, as well as en-
hanced the value. It is remarkable how
few carnations you can pick, even from
benches that are very promising, when
you have only seven or eight hours' day-
light and that a leaden sky. The ex-
panding of the petals is very slow and
the thousands you expect to pick next
Friday are sure to dwindle into hun-
dreds. This is the month that all nature
feels like hibernating. We do ourselves.
Kings may enjoy an auto ride over the
snow. Give me a favorable location
about three feet from a good stove and
I will be content. A member of our
family has heard recently from a young
man who has just settled on a ranch in
southern California, only seven miles
from the Mexican line. There may be
little winter there, but in the summer
Hades must be cold storage compared to
it, but the news I got was that Jack and
his fellow ranchman sat on the stoop
Thanksgiving day and basked in the
sun. My answer was, "Yes, but he did
not enjoy it half as much as I did com-
ing in just now out of the cold and
now basking before this fire." So there
is a recompense wherever you are. The
young lady born and reared in Ceylon
thinks it is the ideal climate and so does

A Square Deal.

Like President Roosevelt we believe in
a square deal for everybody. No matter
how little or how much a florist buys from
us we intend to and do give every order

Various Notes,

There have been a few business
changes of late. C. D. Zimmerman has
sold his store and business on West
Chippewa street to Werrick Bros., of
Pine Eidge. Mr. Zimmerman has green-
houses and salesroom in the midst of the
residence district of the west side.

The Byrne Bros, are about to vacate
their store on Main street and will locate
at the junction of West Chippewa and
Delaware avenue. This should be a
flplendid location for a florist. They will
also open a store on Connecticut street.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

Clear, cool, pleasant weather and holi-
day demand proved strong stimulants to
trade in the cut flower business the past
week. Stock at the commission houses
is plentiful, of good quality and the de-
mand strong for almost everything, with
prices reasonable for this time of the
year. Shipping trade at all the commis-
sion houses is good. With the good de-
mand, both local and shipping, there is
still enough stock left over for afternoon
flales. In retail circles the trade has

been very busy all of the past week,
mostly with funeral orders calling for
many large and costly pieces, especially
those on December 8 for the funeral of
Wm. H. Thompson, president of one of
the largest banks and treasurer of the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition.

Already the down-town stores are be-
ing decorated with ground pine, holly
and bells for the holidays. Ground pine
is reported very scarce and quotations
at the commission houses are $12 per
hundred pounds. The holly that has ar-
rived is good and at the regular price.

In looking over the stock at the whole-
sale houses Monday morning we found
some extra fine Kichmond, Killarney,
Chatenay, Bride and Maid, also plenty
of Short Beauties, but only a limited
number of long.

Chrysanthemums are over for this sea-
son. A few Jerome Jones are in. Carna-
tions are of extra fine quality. Henry
Baer's stock from Peoria, 111., deserves
special mention. Special sorts are up
to $5 and nothing is sold under $2 per
hundred. Among the best seen are Nel-
son Fisher, Enchantress Lawson, Lady
Bountiful and Cardinal.

Violets were also quite plentiful last
week and prices went down to 50 cents
per hundred on Californias. These are
of very fine quality and extra long in
stem. The bulk of them are from Kirk-
wood. Valley, Eomans and Paper Whites
had a splendid call all week. Callas and
Harrisii are scarce and in demand. All
greens are plentiful, especially good
smilax.

Various Notes.

A. S. Halstead, president of the St,
Clair Floral Co., Belleville, called on

Saturday and reports that the company
will add 15,000 feet of glass to its plant.
E. W. Guy, also of Belleville, was over
on Friday of last week buying supplies.
He reports good business, with plenty of
funeral work the past week,

J. F. Ammann, of Edwardsville, 111.,
who is the western headquarters for Kich-
mond, Killarney and Baby Rambler, re-
ports good orders for them. Mr. Am-
mann's cut stock in these and Eosalind.
Orr English is in good demand at
Kuehn 's.

Fred Foster has gone into the livery
business, having leased the Palace
stables. Garrison and Olive streets. He
will continue in the florists' business.

Pilcher & Burrows, commission brok-
ers, report a big week in all kinds of sup-,
plies for growers and retailers.

The Reissen Floral Co., on South
Broadway, had several large decorations
the past week. Trade in general is re-
ported good by them.

A. Jablonsky, out at Wellston, had a
fine lot of blooming plants ready for
Christmas. His Gloire de Lorraine be-
gonias are exceptionally fine this year.
Most of the stock is already marked
sold.

John Connon, at Webster Groves, is
using most of his stock at home. He
had a busy week in wedding and funeral
work. With the assistance of his brother,
Charlie, he got through nicely.

Max Rotter, on North Broadway, re-
ports trade tip top in all lines. He has
a nice place and carries a choice stock of
flowers.

Meinhardt & Dierkies will soon move
into their new location, a few doors east
of their present store. They expect to be
all ready for Christmas,

QNONNATL

The Market

Business is continuing right fair.
Though there is usually something of a
let-up in the demand just before the holi-
days, this year seems to be an exception,
ard the report from all sides is very
good. Numerous social functions, ban-
quets, etc., have used up large quantities
of flowers, wild smilaz and other greens,
and the demand for funeral work is
good.

The f-upply of stock is just about equal
to the demand in most lines. Eoses are
]>erhaps in heaviest supply, but there
has been no surplus. Eed roses are
scarce, as is usual. Carnations are scarce-
ly equal to the demand, but still there
are few orders which cannot be filled.
Mums are almost gone. Some few are
still to be seen here and there, but it is
hard to be sure of filling an order for
any special color. Violets are coming
in larger su)»ply and they sell out almost
at sight. Some very good narcissi are
to be had. Lilies of all kinds sell well
and are not very plentiful.

Our Florists' Supply Department, Jan. 1, 1906

L. A. Toiiner, who will have charge of this department and who is so well known to all the florists
of the west as an experienced judge and careful buyer of florists' supplies, is now in the east visiting
the manufacturers and selecting the goods for this department, which we open January 1, 1906. It will
pay you to hold your order for our new and carefully selected stock.

number of members present. Our flower
show committee reports that from a
financial point of view our show.s will
be a success. It was decided that special
efforts be made to make our February
rose show a fine one this year, and all
growers of roses were extended a hearty
invitation to send exhibits. The growers
of new varieties are especially requested
to stage blooms.

E. Witterstaetter had on exhibition
for the society's certificate a vase of his
new carnation, Aristocrat, it was in
especially fine form and the committee,
B. P. Critchell and E. G. Gillett, who
passed upon it, recommended that if it
scored equally well at our March meet-
ing, it be given a certificate.

After the regular routine of business
was over the society went into the dis-
cussion of ways and means of booming

the florists' industry in this city. Every-
one present ha,d some ideas on the sub-
ject and at our next meeting, in Janu-
ary, action will be taken along the most
approved lines. One of the most favor-
ably talked of plans was that of giving
a big banquet on the night of onr an-
nual carnation show, which falls upon
March 10 next year. Invitations will
be sent out to florists of all cities within
reach and a hearty welcome will be given
ail comers. They will have an opportu-
nity cf viewing our carnation show, also
of seeing some of our greenhouse plants
and learning some of the possibilities of
the flower trade in this city. At our next
r.ooting the matter will be gone over
more c;;refully and action will be taken.

VICTORY

The best scarlet carnation — is a fancy in tiie fullest sense of the word

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market

The market is fairly active this week.
Prices have advanced. Beauties, choice
tea roses and carnations of all kinds are
higher than one week ago. Violets are
plentiful, at times the supply being in
excess of the demand. Other flowers,
with the possible exception of bouvardia,
are about the same. The number of
sprays in the bunches of asparagus is
decreasing, a sure sign of winter. Some
choice smilax is bringing more than the
listed prices.

Christmas Prospects.

There is always a decided difference
of opinion, a fortnight before Christ-
mas, as to just how heavy the crops
will be at the holidays. Owing to the
fine fall, with so much bright, sunny
weather towards the end of November,
it is not unreasonable to believe that
good flowers will be scarce two weeks
hence. Leo Niessen, however, who has
made a careful study of conditions, confi-
dently predicts that choice stock, espe-
cially carnations, will be plentiful. He
believes that many of the leading grow-
ers have their crops so well timed that
they will be at their height just when
needed. All the authorities agree that
the demand will be very heavy this sea-
son. It may be of interest to out-of-
town buyers to know that poinsettias
and Beauties will be fairly plentiful,
while red carnations will not.

A Handsome Decoration.

Pennock Bros, had a decoration of
more than usual interest last week. The
furniture throughout the house was of
mahogany, the walls being dark. Ameri-
can Beauty roses were used exclusively;
a bank of these roses was arranged as
a background for the hostess in the re-
ception room. On the mantel was a sil-
ver loving cup filled with Beauties. On,
each side of the loving cup were hats
filled with the same flower. Opposite
were a hamper and two handsome vases
of this finest of roses. The center of
the dining-table was ornamented with a
tall cut glass vase containing fifty long-
stemmed Beauties. This vase stood on
a mirror bordered with a festoon of
Adiantum Farleyense. Other vases of
Beauties were used throughout the house.
The effect was greatly admired. The
work was by (Aias. W. Kahlert and
Samuel Dunlap.

The P. C Co.

Through the courtesy of Robert Craw-
ford, Jr., Phil was enabled to see the
modern plant of the Philadelphia Car-
nation Co., at Secane, this week. There
are two houses, 30x204, with a north-
side propagating house running the en-
tire length. Another house, 25x75, is

planted with sweet peas principally, the
back walk being filled with a variety of
plants intended for Easter flowering.
The houses are very high, light and
airy, open between. Each contains eight
raised benches filled entirely with carna-
tions. The stock was in healthy condi-
tion, the varieties being evidently se-
lected with a view to securing free flow-
ering rather than fancy sorts.

Queen Louise is the best white, being
grown in quantity, Boston Market is
also favored. A few Vesper are grown,
but it will be dropped. Fair Maid occu-
pies the same place among the pinks
that is held by Queen Louise in the
whites. Joost, Lawson, and Mrs. James
Dean, the last named a very late va-
riety, are also grown. Enchantress is
also grown, but, though healthy, is not
quite at its best under the cool treatment
on which the others thrive. In crimson,
Harry Fenn is better than Roosevelt. In
scarlet. Crane is grown. The crimsons
and scarlets combined hardly amount to
six per cent of the total number, Mr.
Crawford believing that first white and
then pink are the carnation colors par
excellence,

Mont Blanc, white, and Extra Early
Blanche Ferry, pink, are the sweet peas
grown. The latter are now producing
flowers, but Mont Blanc is not yet in
bloom,

A house 130 feet long, perfectly dark,
contains four rows and four tiers full of
mushrooms. About forty pounds are be-
ing picked daily at present. The beds
appeared in very promising condition.
The place is heated by steam, two re-
turn tubular boilers being used.

Harry Crawford is the grower in
charge. The healthy condition of the
stock and perfect cleanliness of the place
speak well for his good management.
Berger Bros, get much of the clip.

Various Notes.

Wm. E, McKissick is distributing a
very fine lot of Lawson carnations. This
variety is not doing as well as in past
seasons with many growers,

James M, Thoirs, of Camden, N, J.,
has increased his business until it covers
pretty much all of southern New Jersey.
He has many orders in Atlantic City,

ly grown Paper White narcissi, which
are seen at Wm, J. Baker's. M. J.

DETROIT.

The Market.

Business has been exceedingly brisk
the past week. Chrysanthemums being
about on their last notch, roses and car-
nations are in very big demand. The
latter are bringing a very good price at
present. Some very large eastern violets
are finding their way into this market.
They are of good color, but have no
fragrance. Paper White narcissi and
Roman hyacinths are coming in very
handy for funeral work.

Ladies* Night.

Although Wednesday evening, Decem-
ber 6, was the club's meeting night,
business was entirely suspended, the
whole evening being given over to a
dance and musical at Harmonie hall. A
vote of thanks is due Wm. Brown, chair-
man of the entertainment committee, as
never in the history of the club did its
members and their friends spend a more
enjoyable evening. Through the aid of
Mrs, Wm, Dilger, a number of very
clever entertainers were secured, whose
singing, speaking and playing was
greeted with loud applause.

It is these little social affairs that get
the florists and their families better
acquainted with one another, thereby
doing away with much of that feeling
of jealousy so often existing among
business competitors.

Various Notes.

Andrew Rudolph, one of Breitmeyer's
staff, was struck by a suburban car Sun-
day afternoon, receiving a fracture of
the skull, dying within a few hours.

J. F. Sullivan is laid up with a bad
cold, but at last reports was rapidly
getting well.

NEW YORK.

Qttb Meetine.

The final meeting of the New York
Florists' Club for 1905 was held on
Monday evening, December 11, Presi-
dent Traendly in the chair. Over 100
members were present and every seat
was taken. Seldom has such interest
and enthusiasm been displayed. It
was a fitting close to one of the most
successful years in the organization's
history. Resolutions of sympathy were
read on the death of William Ghormley.
Five gentlemen were elected to mem-
bership and six propositions were read
by the secretary. The resignation of
David Gindra was accepted with re-
gret.

The committee on awards reported
as follows: Herman Maenner, of Mas-
peth, L. I., twelve cyclamen, certificate
of merit; Lager & Hurrell, of Summit,
N. J., collection of orchids, cultural
certificate; F. Boulon & Son, Sea Cliflf,
L. I., pink sport from Mrs. Thos. Law-
son, judgment suspended until commit-
tee sees it growing; Cottage Gardens,
Carnation Alma Ward, white seedling
No. 569, pink, and Robert Craig, al-
ready passed upon, judgment sus-
pended; E. L. Engreen, Aqueduct, L,
I., seedling carnations, judgment sus-
pended; F. R. Pierson Co., Tarrytown,
Carnation Helen Gould and White En-
chantress, judgment suspended. The
exhibit was most interesting and cred-
itable and added greatly to the interest
of the evening. F. Lautenschlager, of
Kroeschell Bros. Co., Chicago, was
present with a sample pipe tongs.

The election of oflicers for 1906 pro
oeeded and the contest for several of
the offices was close, but harmony pre-
vailed. Unanimous endorsement was
given and all ended "merry as a mar-
riage bell. ' ' For president John Scott
had practically no opposition, Mr. Totty
retiring in liis favor. J. H. Pepper ran
neck and neck with Mr. Kuehne and
Mr. Weathered with Mr. Wheeler,
Messrs. Pepper and Weathered winning
out. For secretary John Young had
his usual walk-over and Messrs. Birnie,
Totty and Julius Roehrs, Jr., secured

the trusteeships with something to
spare. Owing to Mr. Scott's election
to the presidency he resigned his office
as trustee and a new election for the
position will be held at the January
meeting. The club was never more
prosperous than at present and under
the new regime a continuation of its
progress is anticipated. President
Traendly retires from his two years'
tenure of office with an enviable record.

A committee was appointed to draw
up resolutions on the death of the
mother of C. S. Allen, one of the
club's members. Mr. O'Mara also read
a resolution on the death of John Mor-
ris, an ex-member of the club.

Mr. Stewart gave an account of his
visit to the flower shows at Kansas
City and Chicago and A. J. Guttman
read a very interesting paper covering
his attendance at the exhibitions in
these cities and Indianapolis. He
dwelt upon the beauty and extent of
these exhibitions in comparison with
our own and drew many useful lessons
in behalf of further effort on the club's
part from his observations while away.
He especially referred to the harmony
everywhere existing among the craft
in every department of horticulture,
whereby such great results were made
possible, the co-operation of the great
newspapers, the lectures and all else
that combined to bring about a certain
success. A further discussion of the
subject was laid over for the January
meeting.

The general opinion seemed to be
that 1905 has gone out in a blaze of
glory to which Mr. Nugent and his
turkeys and wet goods added no in-
considerable part.

The new bowling club was formed to
meet at the Coogan building. Twenty-
sixth street and Sixth avenue, on Tues-
day evenings commencing December 26.
The dues are $2 monthly, payable in
advance, and the following names form
the nucleus of what should make a
club a credit to the city: P. O'Mara,
Wm. Ford, Theo. Lang, F, H. Traendly,
W. Mansfield, A. .1. Guttman, Lyman
Craw, J. A. Pepper, Jos. Manda, Jos.
Fenrich, B. Hoffmeyer, Phil Kessler
and J. A. Shaw.

Various Notes.

Wertheimber & Co. report a great
demand for their Christmas bells. They
expect to ship re-orders right up to
Christmas Eve.

As usual for Christmas the Hinode
Co., at Whitestone, have had a wide
call for their Japanese plants and gar-
dens. Their azaleas and wistarias are
grand stock for the holidays.

Auctions are over for the season.
Elliott is well pleased with the change
to Fulton street.

Mr. Walker, of Cleary's, has a badly
injured hand, the result of a conflict
with a Brooklyn trolley on Saturday.

Carl Jurgens, of Newport, was in the
city on Monday.

Wm. Ford has just returned from a
successful four days' gunning trip and
his brother is now enjoying a similar
outing, evidently laying in a stock of
ozone for a strenuous Christmas.

James Hart comes daily from his
country home at Madison. He is still
shipping goods to customers who havit
been on his books since he began busi-
ness, before some of us were born, and
looks good for another generation.

Geo. Cotsonas & Co. have some won-
derful holly and evergreen wreaths in
their windows. Values run up to $50
a dozen!

We hear with regret of the death of
Chas, Fremd, the nurseryman of Rye,
N. Y., at the age of 72 years. He
leaves two sons, who are practical nur-
serymen and will continue the business.

Alfred Dimmock, of Sanders & Sons,
sails on Saturday for England, just in
time to have his Christmas turkey in
the bosom of his family.

Alex. J. Guttman reports an enor-
mous demand for Victory cuttings, over
200,000 having been already sold.

Charles Millang has again added the
big store above his wholesale place to
his Christmas conveniences and is de-
voting the greater part of bis conserva-
tories to his cut flower trade, which he
says will be this holiday above all other
years in his history.

McManus has every preparation made
for any possible demand for orchids of
all seasonable kinds for the Christmas

almost exclusively. A carload of flow-
ers was sent from New York to New-

The march of the debutantes last
week made sweet music for many of
the retailers. McConnell had thirty of
them to care for and some wonderful
bouquet creations were sent out.

The Rosary leans to poinsettias this
week, its big center window being
ablaze with color set off by the beau-
tiful birch bark background.

Siebrecht & Son cut over 15,000
Cattleya labiata from their houses this
season. They have the contract for

bush last week were Clemence Wocker
and Henry Dailledouze. Wocker has a
peculiar twist to his ball that would
wring any turkey's neck.

Prospects are brighter for the forma-
tion of a bowling club in New York,
with headquarters in the Coogan build-
ing, where excellent alleys can be secured
for Tuesday evenings.

Henry Baylis has the sincere sympathy
of the trade in the recent loss of his
father.

Mrs. C. L. Allen, wife of the veteran
seedsman at Floral Park, and mother of
Charles H. and W. S. Allen, died of
heart failure at her home on Saturday,
December 2. All who knew her loved
her and her death is a heavy blow to
the genial partner of her joys during
more than fifty years.

At the age of 70 years John Morris,
the unique and sterling character known
in the political and gardening interests
of this city for nearly half a century,
passed away on December 4 from an at-
tack of apoplexy. HI health caused his
retirement from the New York Florists'
Club a few months ago. For years he
was one of its most active members, fill-
ing the oflSce of trustee and always tak-
ing part in its discussions and intent as
to its welfare and progress. Mr. Morris
was a Knight Templar. His florist's
business dates back to 1873. His re-
mains were cremated on December 6 at
Fresh Pond, L. I.

Another of the old time florists, Wm.
Brower, of W. H. Brower's Sons, and
for many years at the Twenty-third
street corner where the Flatiron build-
ing stands, joined the "silent major-
itv" last week and was buried at Plain-
field, N. J.

O. V. Zangen, the seedsman of 110
Bloomfield street, Hoboken, reports a
splendid season's business extending to
every section of the country. His expe-
rience in the seed trade in Germany,
France, Holland and Switzerland fits him
thoroughly for the development of his
business here, to all the details of which
he gives his personal attention. His
office is a model of accuracy in detail
and his stock of seeds covers over 500
popular varieties. He was busy shipping
out his fall importation of rose stock

when I called and has many advance
orders for roses and boxwood for edging
for spring delivery.

Phil Kessler is making sweet peas,
lilies and asparagus his specialties. His
father has fully recovered his health.

Moore, Hentz & Nash report the Queen
of Edgely popular beyond the supply.
Here Henry Hentz displays his knowl-
edge of how to grow American Beauties,
and Mr. Moore, with whom Bridesmaid
originated, shows that the popular va-
riety is just as vigorous and perfect as
when he first gave it to the world. Ilex
verticillata can be had here, and John
Nash presides over the whole income and
output with placidity, urbanity and cease-
less energy as usual. It's a great com-
bination.

Slinn & Thompson are favored in their
headquarters on the ground floor of the
Coogan building. Here immense ship-
ments of violets, sometimes 100,000, are
disposed of daily.

A. L. Yoling & Co. are doing some
unique advertising in calendar and other
lines and are very much alive. A. M.
Henshaw, who has had much experience
with some of the leading wholesalers, has
been added to their staff.

Lecakes & Co. have a big force at
work on Christmas greens, in addition to
the four partners of the firm, and John
J. Foley has his hands full with cut
flower and office management. Mrs.
Foley has just added to John's respon-
sibilities the glory of fatherhood.

Some of John Young's Beauties from
the big 701-foot house at Bedford
brought 75 cents each last week. The
usual display from the carnation fac-
tories at Queens is in evidence.

Horace E. Froment enjoyed a few
days visiting with his growers last
week, Mr. Coyle accompanying him.
The new firm has retained the friends
so loyal to the late Wm. Ghormley and
has added many new names. The old
force remains intact in the big store.
Mr. Froment is a genial and courteous
gentleman, winning friends rapidly and
popular with all.

Reed & Keller, with the exception of a
few specialties, are completely sold out
for Christmas, and with two weeks yet
to run. Bells and balls all gone. Same

condition prevails in nearly every florists'
supply establishment in the city.

John Seligman, on Twenty-sixth street,
opposite the Cut Flower Exchange, with
his brother as lieutenant, has enjoyed a
fine trade during the past year and looks
fat and happy.

Frank Millang, Jr., son of the whole-
saler in the Coogan building, and a
bright boy of 14 years, broke his arm
a short time ago while hurdle- jumping.

Kreshover says, "Christmas greens
will be at a premium," and he is an
authority.

The Parker-Bruen Co. has done a very
satisfactory business in 1905 with its
carnation and other supports, and pro-
poses to increase the output for 1906.

Traendly & Schenck say: "Our busi-
ness is averaging $2,000 a week more
than at the same date a year ago. * '

J. K. Allen has not gone into the
poultry business. Some roosters have a
reason for crowing. Some wholesalers
have a good reason for asserting their
individuality and progress.

Schloss Bros, report a very good
Christmas business. Their holly crea-
tions and the violet specialties are espe-
cially popular.

Miss Anna Brown, of Wm. Elliott &
Sons* office force, died December 2 of
spinal meningitis.

Jackson, Mich. — A. H. Dew has re-

BOSTON.

The Market.

Prices have held up remarkably well
since • our last report. The removal of
chrysanthemums has rclJoved the market
wonderfully and generally speaking flow-
ers are selling well. Eoses do not yet
show much of a climbing tendency. Best
Beauties bring about $35, select Brides
and Maids $6 to $8, with a few specials
higher. Chatenay varies from $4 to $12
and is of very good quality. Some very
nice Killarney, Wellesley, Eichmond,
Golden Gate, Morgan and Mrs. Oliver
Ames are also seen. Liberty from some
growers is extra good, making up to $15
fcr select stock, a few extras making
more money. Smaller grades of roses
are still rather slow, but clean up better
than a week ago.

Carnations are firm and sell even bet-
ter than at Thanksgiving. Fancy blooms
have been bringing $4 to $5, some going
to $6. Whites have been the slowest,
running down to $2 and $2.50. Violets
average about 75 cents for double and
$1 for single. Sweet peas are abundant.
While high grades have made $1 to $1.50
per hundred, poorer stock has been hard
to sell at 35 cents to 50 cents. Paper
Whites, Eomans, callas and Easter lilies
remain about the same. Chrysanthemums
still come from one or two growers, the
best making $12. Flowers now run small.
Lily of the valley is of unusually good
quality. Some poinsettias are seen and
make $4 to $5 per dozen bracts. Pan-
sies, cornflowers and wallflowers come
from several growers. No particular
change in asparagus and adiantum. Sup-
plies are abundant. Smilax promises to
be in good demand and rather scarce.

Various Notes.

The establishments of J. T. Butter-
worth, S. J. Goddard and William Nich-
olson will be visited on the excursion of
the Gardeners' and Florists' Club on
Saturday, December 16. Special elec-
trics leave Park Square, Boston, at
12:30 o'clock, returning from Framing-
ham about 5:30. A large delegation is
assured.

At the ladies' night meeting of the
club on December 19, in addition to J.
K. M. L. Farquhar's illustrated lecture
on Japan, there will be singing by the
club's double quartet and other attrac-
tions. Some interesting exhibits are
promised and no member can afford to
miss the meeting.

H. M. Eobinson & Co. 's Province street
establishment is one of the busiest places
in Boston at present. The holly received
by this enterprising firm is of fine
quality. They are having a great sale of
boxwood sprays, southern smilax and
their other specialties. Their large stand
on the street end of the Park street
flower market is well patronized.

T. H. Manter is salesman for the
Exeter (N. H.) Eose Conservatories at
the Park street market and is handling
large numbers of fine Chatenay for them.

Kidder Bros.' single violets are of
splendid quality this season. They are
bunched very artistically and are eagerly
snapped up.

Newtonville Greenhouses are handling
some very well grown cyclamens and
poinsettias.

At Horticultural hall on December
9 Oakes Ames, Sabin Bolton, gardener,
received a certificate of merit for Zyeo-
colax Amesian, an interesting cross be-
tween Zygopetalum brachypetalum and
Colax jugosa. He also secured a silver
medal for Cypripedium tonso Charles-
worthi, a form of this cross with extra
large flowers showing Charlesworthi blood
in the upper portion of the dorsal sepal,
the rest of the flower rather closely re-
sembling C. tonsum. A. H. Fewkes
showed a very prettily variegated form
of the dwarf form of Stevia serrata,
quite distinct from other forms we have
seen. It was awarded a certificate of
merit.

Doyle, on Boylston street, is showing
cyclamens and azaleas of fine quality.
Eoses Wellesley, Liberty, Eichmond and
Killarney are good sellers here.

Houghton & Clark have their large
window filled with ardisias this wcm,
which, being finely berried, make a nice
appearance.

Henry Cole has sold out the green-
houses he purchased in July, 1904, at

East Bridgewater, Mass., to Nicol Bros.
The good will of business, land and stock
were included in the transaction, which
was a cash one. Andrew Nicol was
previously located in Brookline and Wo-
burn, while Alex came from Newport.
The greenhouses cover about 12,000
square feet. Mr. Cole has not yet de-
cided where he will locate.

William Walke, of Salem, is handling
some excellent cyclamen and Lorraine
begonias at the Music hall market.

Four amateur classes for hybrid per-
petual roses have been provided for the
June show, to be held at Horticultural
hall, from the John C. ChaflSn fund.

Prizes of $50 and $25 are offered by
the Massachusetts Horticultural Society
in the new schedule for the best estates
of not exceeding three acres. This should
especially appeal to the increasing num-
ber of amateur cultivators.

The Mycological Club held the annual
banquet at the Tuileries Chambers on De-
cember 8. Agaricus from both pure cul-
ture and milltrack spawn proved the
most popular dish. None of the "toad-
stools" so-called were on the menu card.

The American Beauties now being sent
in fi'om Waban Conservatories are very
fine. Their Wellesleys are exceptionally
good. They are also cutting some splen-
did Eichmond and Eallarney.

William Sim's sweet peas are as usual
the finest seen in the market and bring
top prices. His violets are as good as
ever. In addition to Princess of Wales
he is marketing some very fine Governor
Herrick.

Our first snowstorm of the season came
on December 10, much later than usual.
It was followed by cold weather, which
will materially shorten up the supply of
flowers if it continues.

The new officers of the Music hall
market are as follows: President, Ed-
ward Wood, Lexington; clerk, Wilfred
Wheeler, Concord; treasurer, Geo. Ayer;
directors, H. A. Stevens. Dedham; John
McFarland, North Easton; Eobert
Montgomery, South Natick; Thomas
Capers, Highlandville ; Donald Carmi-
ohael, Wellesley; N. F. Comley, Lexing-
ton.

Galvin is showing a very fine window

HARTFORD. CONN.

Refusing offers of $15,000 and up-
wards for his lease to his quarters in the
Universalist building on Main street,
John Coombs has won his fight to retain
his old quarters and the planned im-
provements of the Travelers Insurance
Company must halt at his store until be
is ready to move.

Overtures of every kind were offered
Mr. Coombs to induce him to vacate the
place at which he had done business for
many years. The insurance company

had secured the land up to that site and
had even purchased the property, think-
ing that they might easily be able to
buy out the one occupant who insisted
that he would remain until the expira-
tion of his lease.

Offers of money in increasing amounts
were made until the company was con-
vinced that Coombs stood out for his
rights under the lease and not for a sum
of money. This conclusion once reached,
the negotiations were broken off.

The insurance company will erect its
new building to the walls of the Uni-
versalist church. There the work will
stop for two years, when Coombs' lease
expires. The insurance company 's of-
fices will occupy the building, but the
flower store on the ground floor will con-

tinue to occupy the place where it ha»
been doing business so long.

Brewek, Me. — Crook Bros, are build-
ing another new greenhouse.

Port Huron, Mich. — C. W. Asman
had his fifth annual fall show Novem-
ber 25, and the store was crowded with
visitors. He also handles birds, gold
fish, squirrels, dogs, etc., and they are
an attractive feature of his openings.

Red Oak, Ia. — Miss Currelley, who re-
cently purchased the Red Oak Green-
houses, celebrated her commencement in
business life by getting married. Chas,
A. Berg, who came here from Indiana
to manage the greenhouses, is the groom.

PITTSBUHG.

The Market.

The market has been all that could be
<]esiTed the past week. Stock of all kinds
cleared up every day at good prices, with
the exception of violets. Pittsburg never
received better violets but they do not
go with the same snap that other stock
does; job lots have been on the market
■every day. Chrysanthemums are still
hanging on but are looking like a man
•who has been keeping late hours, a little
worse for wear. Carnations are more
plentiful and finer every day. Paper
Whites and Komans are also more plen-
tiful. Thos. F. Beckert is sending the
Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. some fine bou-
vardia, which is a novelty and the first
grown in this section for several years.

Ground pine seems scarcer than for
several years, but buyers do not care to
pay fancy prices, believing that it will
■come in this week.

Variotis Notes.

John Walker, of Youngstown, O.,
stopped in the city Friday on his way
oast. He goes to New York and Phila-
delphia.

The Florists' Club's smoker December
5 was a success, thanks to the efforts of
President Phil Langhans and his com-
mittee. Elegant entertainment was pro-
vided. Arthur Love gave one of his
original talks, including several velry
funny stories. The acts of the magicians
were up to date, but a very laughable
thing was Geo, Blind 's efforts to tie the
thumbs of one of the magicians and then
for him to find that in some way he
■could separate his hands and replace
them without untying George's knots.
But the best thing was Geo. Marshall's
act. He was dressed in a costume that
would make him a fortune if he had
the nerve to take it on a stage. What
he did to a few hats with the fruit from
his egg tree, which he produced in a
mystical manner, should have been seen
to be appreciated. Card playing was one
of the features. Pipes and stogies filled
the room with smoke, but did not seem
to interfere with the lunch end of the
program. Kraut and "Weniers" were
the basis, with sandwiches of various
kinds to top it off. They had something
dark with a white foam that they drew
from a keg, and taken all in all it was
quite the best thing of the kind the club
has ever had and was much better at-
tended than any of the regular meetings.

ST. PAUL.

The Market.

Business the past week, with all deal-
ers, has been very good and stock is
first class. Roses are off crop with some
growers; consequently a shortage is felt
at present, but they all anticipate a good
cut for the Christmas trade. Mums are
about all through in this section, with the
exception of a few late varieties which
some growers are trying hard to hold
for the Christmas trade, which is ex-
pected to be larger than ever. Immense
quantities of green an<l holly have al-
ready been sold; the merchants, it ap-
pears, have anticipated the shortage and
have tried to get their orders placed
early. Numerous orders for green in
lots of from 1,000 to 5,000 yards have
been refused simply because the stock
will not permit selling it. The majority
of dealers are trying to hold what green
thev have for their legitimate flower

trade. Holly seems to be a drug on the
market. One shipper now has on track
a car which can be bought at one's own
price.

Various Notes.

Haugen & Swanson have been picking
some fine violets, some of them being '
very nearly as large as a half-dollar. The
Warrendale Floral Co. is also marketing
some good stock. The St. Paul Floral
Co. is still bringing in some good stock
and the growers as a rule all feel good
and look for a big trade.

Henry Krinke & Sons now occupy a
store on Wabasha street, one of our
main thoroughfares.

James Hoffman, with L. L. May & Co.,
has returned from the east, full of new
ideas and with a lot of pottery heads
on which he now has a lot of green grass,
which sell like hot cakes.

Chas. Vogt is trimming up for the holi-
day trade. Stores are being cleaned up,
remodeled and everything done to make
them attractive.

CLEVELAND.

The Market.

Business for the past week has shown
a. decided improvement over that of the
past month. A heavier demand for all
cut flowers, and a decrease in the cut has
forced the prices up, and a better feel-
ing is noticed among the trade; in fact,
trade seems to be getting back onto the
basis of former years.

Roses sold at $4, $6 and $8; carna-
tions, $3, $4 and $5; violets, double, $1
to $1.25, single, 75 cents to $1; lilies,
$1.50 to $2 a dozen; sweet peas, $1.50
per hundred and the few Paper Whites
found a ready sale at $4 per hundred.
Mums are practically out of the market.

Everybody is busy getting things in
shape for a larger business at Christmas
time.

Various Notes.

Smith & Fetters had a large amount of
funeral work for the late Wm. Chisholm,
one of Cleveland's pioneer steel manu-
facturers, and on the same day they put
up a large wedding decoration.

The Gasser Co. had a fine window of
poinsettias, which are meeting with a
larger demand each vear as a holiday
flower.

Collins & Harrison have a very pretty
window of roses and stevia. James Eadie
is showing some very nice carnations. He
has been very busy on funeral work the
past week.

Geo. Jewett, 1338 Broadway, was very
busy last week, having all the design
work that he could possibly turn out on
several occasions.

A visit to Bate Bros.' carnation fac-
tory in East Cleveland found the place in
fine shape and if anything they were a
little ahead of their work, all the carna-
tions being tied up and disbudded. A
house of Joost planted late in October
on their everlasting tile bench was look-
ing very nice, and Mr. Bate said they had
cut more blooms from that house in Xo-
vember than from any of the others. A
bench of new varieties that they are try-
ing looked exceptionally well, and they
will plant some of the varieties quite
heavily next year. The past season they
tried planting Lawson and Enchantress,
from thumb pots directly into the bench,
and the results have been highly satis-
factory. A person can see quite a dif-
ference in the growth of the plants in
favor of the indoor planting; besides
they have cut more and better flowers
from these plants. In going through
their ten houses of carnations the writer
failed to find a bad spot anywhere; in
fact they were the finest lot he has seen
this year. The three houses of Adiantum
cuneatum are in fine shape for heavy cut-
ting. The whole output of this place is
handled by the Cleveland Cut Flower Co.

A. Weaver, of Massillon, stopped off
at Cleveland for a short visit on his
return from Painesville, where he had
been to purchase a stock of plants for

the holidays. He reports finding a fine
assortment and was well satisfied with
his trip. It will be remembered that
the Massillon football team won the
great game from Canton and Mr. Weaver
says it was a great day in his town, the
crowd using up all the mums that could
be found. He says that business has been
good and expects a good holiday trade.

E. J. Fancourt representing S. S. Pen-
nock, of Philadelphia, called on his many
friends this week. It seems like coming
home to him, as he spent several years
in one of the leading retail stores here.

G. H. Heinl, of Toledo, spent several
days visiting the craft in this city. Mr.
Heinl reports business as having been a
little slow up to Thanksgiving, but with
gcofl prospects from now on.

N. Laskaras ran over from Akron to
pick up some stock for the holidays.
Business with him has been good all the
fall.

Henry Heepe, of Heepe 's Sons, Akron,
was in town Monday. Business with them
was never better, and it keeps them busy
picking up the stock to fill their orders.-

Mrs. Zimmerman, of Alliance, was a
culler on Monday.

PONTiAC, III. — W. J. Miller has sold
his greenhouses and business to Max Ras-
mussen, formerly at Negaunee, Mich.
Mr. Miller will remove to Chadbourn. N.
C, to engage in fruit growing.

MANURES FOR ROSES.

At the recent rose congress in Paris
M. Georges Truffaut spoke of the experi-
ments which had been made with ref-
erence to the use of artificial manures in
rose culture.

A special committe had been organized
at a previous meeting to inquire into the
question of manuring roses, and to ascer-
tain what are the fertilizing substances
most beneficial to them. M. Cochet, the
well-known rosarian, made some investi-
gations into the chemical composition of
the rose Madame Ulrich Brunner. M.
Hubert and M. Truffaut also analyzed
plants of the same variety, supplied by
M- Cochet, and arrived at almost identi-
cal results.

Roses, according to these experiments,
are not very exacting as regards the na-
ture of their food. A plot containing
40,000 roses to the hectare (about 2%
acres) yielded about 6,000 kilos, (nearly
55 tons) of branches and leaves, and
these contained nitrogen 46 kilos. (92
lbs.), potash 19 kilos. (38 lbs.), phos-
phoric acid 15 kilos. (30 lbs.), lime 51
kilos. (102 lbs.), and magnesia 31 kilos.
(62 lbs.). It may be seen from this that
roses require a large amount of nitrogen,
which is the most important constituent
in their food. A new and unexpected re-
sult to be noted is the importance of
magnesia as a constituent of the food of
roses. Magnesia, indeed, seems to some
extent to replace potash, and experiments
have further confirmed this idea.

Speaking broadly, it is found that ni-
trogenous manures mixed with the soil,
even when slow to decompose, yield re-
sults that are only slightly favorable.
Boses apparently prefer the application
of liquid manure to the use of solid food,
the latter being slow in undergoing nitri-
fication. Thus the application of manure
in composts containing thirty per cent
of dried blood and fifty-one per cent of
burnt horn has sometimes given unsatis-
factory results.

According to M. Cochet 's experiments
the roses grown in a soil mixed with a
double supply of "complete manure"
did the worst, and those grown with
potash only also yielded bad results. The
plants grown without nitrogen did fairly
well in soil, but very indifferently in
sand. Therefore, according to M. Co-
chet's experiments, the use of fertilizers
containing nitrogeh and phosphoric acid
were the most satisfactory, and those
that contained potash only were the
least so.

The work of the experimenters brings
out the fact, as the result of five series
of experiments in as many districts and
in soils of various quality, that roses are
plants especially requiring nitrates; even
three times more nitrates than phos-
phates. Potash alone seems of but little
use and may even be injurious, while
magnesia seems to serve as a substitute
for potash as a food for roses. "We
think," continues M. Truffaut, "that
this fact is established for the first time.
Magnesia and manganese appear to play
an important part which we must try to
elucidate by continuing our experiments.
Meanwhile it is as well to bring this fact
to the notice of rosarians, as it is the
more remarkable because potash has
hitherto been generally considered as of
paramount importance in the cultivation
of roses." — Gardeners' Chronicle.

white rose, the center pure white, the
outer petals a brilliant coral and because
of its extraordinary size promising to be
a companion to American Beauty.

W. H. Grenell,

Visited Chicago :
Saginaw, Mich.

Holly of a nondescript quality is ex-
ceedingly plentiful in many cities, and
low quotations are in order where no
guaranty is required.

The onion set situation is in a state
of coma. After January 1 a revival will
take place and, as the supply is much
below what is ordinarily in storage at
this time of the year, a profitable busi-
ness in this commodity is looked for
when the season arrives.

When no recognition is given at Wash-
ington, D. C, to a petition duly signed
by the weightiest names in the seed
trade, it looks as though the seed indus-
try is shy on votes. The most enthu-
siastic free-seeder of all the politicians
cannot deny that the seedsmen have a
full sized grievance, and the only reason
their kick won't register is because it
don't hit the right spot.

Reports are that the pea situation,
although fairly well known and pretty
thoroughly adjusted, is far from satis-
factory. Many of the growers are short
on varieties that are commonly plentiful.
A short crop on such sorts as Alaska,
Horsford and Abundance is so unusual
that the average buyer is skeptical about
it, and lays it up against his grower
when he gets less than he expects. In
some localities, where the rule is that a
good crop may be relied upon, the short-
age is the heaviest.

It ts reported that aside from peas,
beans and onions, the seed crops generally
are up to requirements and a normal
condition prevails. Cucumber and other
vine seeds, as well as sweet corn, are in
fair supplv. The self blanching celeries
are not so 'plentiful as the demand would
warrant, but no serious shortage has yet
developed. The market gardener's
strains of such crops as endive, kohl-
rabi, corn salad, etc., are sufficient, but
some popular strains of cabbage are
short and the high prices that are likely
to rule for cabbages before spring will
make the seed demand greater than
usual.

Present reports are to the effect that
beans are nearly all delivered at the
growing stations and that the crop on
the whole is quite disappointing. The
only saving thing is that a good crop in
one section makes up in part for a fail-
ure in another. Those who do not con-
fine their growing to one locality are bet-
ter off than the competitor who does.
Some of the green-podded sorts have
fallen down in many sections just as
badly as the wax varieties. Milling and
picking reduces the product below the
dockage taken for shrink at the time of
delivery; this decreases the profits to
the grower, who at best can only ship
half the quantity he has orders for.
There is always a suspicion that some-
body has a lot laid away for an emer-
gency, but this does not help matters,
and usually there is little in it.

NEW SWEET PEAS

•^

EVELYN BYATT

A GORGEOUS
NOVELTY

The most gorgeous colored Sweet Pea yet introduced. It may be termed a self Oor^eous,
having a rich orange salmon standard, and falls or wings still a trifle deeper color, giving a
rli'h, fiery orange or deep sunset color to the whole flower, very striking and unique. It has
caused quite a sensation wherever shown during the past year.

PHYLLIS UNWIN

A GIANT
NOVELTY

I

I

Color a deep rosy carmine self, the same form as GLADYS UNWIN, with the prettily waved
and bold standard of that variety, but a little larger, producing 3 to 4 flowers on a stem. It
is quite sunproof and perfectly fixed. The stems are long and stout, and it may be described
as A OIAVT IN EVBBT WAT.

Each of above novelties, $14.60 per 100 packets;
$1.76 per doz. (Retail, 86 cents).

GLADYS UNWIN

LAST YEARS'
NOVELTY

I

I

This finest of all Fink Sw«et Peas we introdaced last season. It is a strlkingr
^ , t and sterling' improvement, quite fixed and dletlnct, and a

great acquisition for Cut Blooms.

GLADYS UVWIXr has a very large and bold flower, not hooded, but with a very striking
upright crinkled or wavy standard, and broad wings. Color, a pale rosy pink. A strik-
ing feature is that about 75 per cent of the long flower stems are with lour blooms, which
is a most unusual thing in Sweet Peas. It was first raised four years ago, viz., in 1901, and
has kept perfectly true and fixed in character each year since and we have no hesitation
in saying it is a bona-fide departure in pinks. Por market growers especially it cannot be
surpassed, and is just the lovely pink color which is so much in demand. 94.60 per pound.

The Iowa Seed Co., Des Moines, la.,

Bouquet green is selling at Chicago
at $8 and up. Dealers have not filled ad-
vance orders beyond half, if there was an
agreeable way of escape, for most early
bookings were at 4 to 5 cents per pound.
The supply has not exceeded sixty per
cent of the average year. Higher prices
may be expected on good stock, some lots
being fine and others very poor.

Eugene Schaettel, of Vilmorin-An-
ilrieux & Co., Paris, sails for home today
on La Savoie. He has spent two months
visiting the leading seedsmen and reports
!i very optimistic feeling throughout the
trade.

' ' Strains of com that doubtless had a
common origin have become so changed
that some of them have a growing period
of six months, reaching a height of eigh-
teen or more feet, while others ripen in
ninety days, having attained a height of
only two or three feet. These changes
are the result of selection, which is partly
natural and partly the work of man. By
selection a strain can be greatly improved
in production and at the same time
adapted to the soil and climatic condi-
tions of the locality in which it is being
improved. Because of differences in soil,
climate and length of growing season,
a corn improved in one locality does not
afford the best seed for localities which
are unlike it."

The first general seed catalogue to
come to hand is that of J. W. Ii^tekin,
which arrived December 9.

J. M, Claek, secretary of the Leonard
Seed Co., is putting in his spare time
talking market gardening to the farm-
ers' granges in northern Illinois.

A SAFE and sane farmer says : ' ' Viewed
from any standpoint, the free distribu-
tion of seeds by the government is a
very outrageous and ridiculous proceed-
ing." Will the Congressional Record

PECULIAR POSTAL LAWS.

With last week's Review readers
found a very pretty colored picture of
sweet peas, and thereby hangs a tale.
Evelyn Byatt is the sweet pea of the
year in England. It is being introduced
by Watkins & Simpson, the well known
sweet pea specialists of London. They
wished to put a colored plate of the nov-
elty in the hands of the American trade
and, of course, selected circulation with
the Review as the best means of accom-
plishing that end. They were advised
that the U. S. postal regulations require
such a plate, if it bears anything in the
nature of advertising, to be the exact
size of the page of the publication to
which it is aitached for mailing. Through
error the lithographers made the sheets
the same size as others manu-
factured for Watkins & Simpson, and
when they reached the Review office they
were found to carry a reference to an
advertisement in the Review, the name
of Watkins & Simpson, and to be an
even three-quarters of an inch shorter
than the page of the Review. The post-
oflfice officials construed even the orig-
inator's name as advertising and, be-
cause of the short size, refused to per-
mit them to be mailed with the Re-
view as second-class matter. But by cut-
ting an inch from the bottom of the
sheets, thereby eliminating the "adver-
tising" feature, and printing at the
top the words, "Supplement to the
Florists' Review," etc., the sheets
then became mailable without the neces-
sity for attachment to the copy.

Doubtless our English friends, and
others who are not familiar with the
vagaries of American postal regulations,
will find it hard to understand how a
sheet which is unmailable because too
short becomes mailable by making it
another inch shorter.

DANISH CROPS.

The harvest of Erfurt Dwarf cauli-
flower seed (Snowball) is this year a
fairly good one and large enough to fill
all contract orders. Of the Danish Giant
cauliflower, which A. Hansen says has
again proved to be the best one to with-
stand hot and dry weather, the harvest is
also good, but with the increased de-
mand, late orders will very likely not be
executed in full. Of the Danish Ball-
head or Hollander cabbage seed, the har-
vest is not very large, owing to the fail-
ure of crop of 1904.

THE VALUE OF EXPERIENCE.

What I want to point out, says a writer
in the Horticultural Advertiser, is the
fact that so many of our best plants get
condemned simply because growers who
try them do not give them a fair trial
before rejecting them. Many of our beet
plants have been in danger of being lost
before they have had a proper trial. I

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

Decbmbkr 14, 1906;

can give no better example of this than
in the case of Begonia Gloire de Lor-
raine, and I think I may claim to have
•done something in the way of bringing
this plant forward, and also having done
something toward re-establishing its
reputation in France, for when Mr. Truf-
f aut was over here some years ago, be-
fore I could show him plants I suggested
it was a good plant, and he strongly
■condemned it. However, later on, when
he saw some well-grown stuff he was de-
lighted with it, and bought plants. Later,
it led to its being so much appre-
ciated that Mr. Trufifaut built houses on
purpose for growing it. It was much the
same here in England; the plant had
been introduced some years before its
value was known.

Another plant which I was much taken
with took some time to gain favor with
the public. I refer to Verbena Miss
Willmott. About six or seven years ago
I grew some plants in pets. Several
growers noted it, and it was not long
before we had it on the market. During
the past season it has been one of the
most popular market plants we have had.

Take the Crimson Eambler rose. I
remember when I first tried to sell well-
flowered plants, I could not do so, and
it was only by inducing one of the lead-
ing florists to accept plants on sale or
return that I first got its value recog-
nized. Yet when once started it soon
made an impression. It is not all grow-
ers who have done well with this rose,
but where it has been well ripened and
done well, it has been one of the most
profitable plants of recent introduction.
It is here where a little experience is
necessary; soft, coarse wood is of no
use; it must be hard and well ripened.

I believe it has often occurred that a
really useful plant has been condemned
through not giving it a fair trial.

FRAU KARL DRUSCHKI.

Of the making of new roses, as of
books, "there is no end." Hundreds of
new varieties are sent out each year by
home and foreign raisers. An almost in-
credible number of varieties have been
cultivated and named since the rose first
found its way into the ornamental gar-
den. Of a list of 1,000 named sorts,
compiled in 1835, grown and highly ap-
preciated at the time, scarcely one is in
cultivation to-day. Varieties of exqui-
site finish and great beauty are con-
stantly produced, but only the merest
fraction of the number find a perman-
■ent place in cultivation. The overwhelm-
ing defect of most new roses is lack of
suflScient vigor in plant to endure the
strain of commercial propagation and
the mishaps of amateur cultivation. New
kinds of superlative all-round merit, how-
ever, are produced at uncertain intervals.
Thus within the last fifteen years such
generally successful garden varieties as
Clothilde Soupert, blush white; Gruss
an Teplitz, crimson scarlet; Mme. Caro-
line Testout, bright pink, as well as
Crimson and Philadelphia Kamblers,
deep crimson, have been introduced.
The beautiful cream white Kaiserin Au-
guata Victoria should perhaps be includ-
ed in the number, but it is being super-
seded by the lovely pure white hardy
rose, Frau Karl Druschki. It is said to
be a seedling of Merveille De Lyon,
formerly the finest and most reliable of
white hardy roses, and is much freer in
bloom as well as far more perfect in
bud and flower than its parent. It ap-

KANSAS QTY.

The Market.

The month of November was a record
breaker from a business standpoint, and
from present indications the same gait
will be kept up through this month.
Business shows no decrease; if there is
any difference, it shows some improve-
ment even over last week's business.

Some fine roses are coming in and
bringing top prices. Carnations are im-
proving in both quantity and quality,
selling on sight and bringing the highest
prices. Geo. M. Kellogg is sending in
some high grade stock, both roses and
carnations. There is a scramble for
mums now that the supply is about ex-
hausted. It has been proven here this
season that the medium priced, medium
sized chrysanthemum is the best seller.
The majority of buyers object to pay-
ing over $3 a dozen. The dealers are
preparing for a record breaking Christ-
mas trade.

Various Notes.

D. Freudenthal has a very attractive
display of Christmas goods in his show
window. Mr. Freudenthal has a splendid
location and is doing a good business.

Max EUers, proprietor of the Peoples
Floral Co., located at Twelfth and Main
streets, is one of Kansas City's coming
young florists. He has one of the best
stands in the city and this, added to his
own energy and business ability, makes
a combination that is bound to succeed.

The Alpha Floral Co. opened its new
store at 1125 Main street last Saturday.
This firm is branching out rapidly, and
we predict success for it in the latest
venture.

Ed A. Humfeld has a fine lot of aza-
leas that will be in full bloom for Christ-
mas. He reports business good.

The Shaeffer Floral Co.'s new auto-
mobile has arrived and is now doing
service.

Charles Heite is absent in Colorado
for the benefit of his health.

Chas. A. Shaeffer went to Chicago last
week to buy Christmas supplies.

Mrs. Byrnes and C. Hinz, both of
Leavenworth, Xan., were visitors last
week. Kay-See.

The Market.

Business the past week has averaged
up very good. Some dealers have had
considerable funeral work, while others
have been kept busy looking after the
country trade, which has grown to large
proportions within the past few years.
The department stores are now handling
about everything the average cut flower
buyer can call for, although as a rule
the stock is of an inferior grade and
cannot command the price which the flo-
rist is getting. Even in these days when
carnations are selling for from $4 to $6
per hundred wholesale, the department
stores oflFer them at 50 cents and 75 cents
a dozen, but of course the difference in
quality is noticeable to the regular cut
flower buyer and the florist can still sell
his stock at $1 and $1.50 a dozen. The
lower the price asked by the department
stores th'e more the florist can get, as the
difference in the stock appeals favorably
to the better class of buyers. The Greeks
are now becoming an important factor.
They unload a lot of stock which the
florist would sell were it not for the fact
that they, as a rule, occupy prominent
locations in front of some leading store
and sell their stock at reduced rates. But
when you come to the accustomea flower
purchaser he looks for a good florist.
In general trade is good among the re-
tailers and they are all looking forward
to a big Christmas trade.

Christmas trees are now occupying all
raeant lots and prices are high. The

trees come from Michigan and the sup-

Lycopodium is held at a premium.
Some has been quoted $8 per hundred
pounds but the writer predicts a heavy
shortage. Green pickers in this section
are well aware of how the market is and
some has been sold to parties in Chicago
and the east after it has been contracted
for here by home dealers.

Various Notes.

A visit to the Minneapolis Floral Co.
found the jovial proprietor, John Mon-
son, greatly pleased over the popularity
of his new rose, Miss Kate Moulton, a
beautiful pink, the center being a deep
pink and the outer petals a fine shade of

lighter pink. The stems are strong and
very much resemble the foliage and stem
of the La Detroit. To our mind it is the
coming pink rose. The keeping qualities
are excellent and Mr. Monson says that
a local florist has given this a thorough
test by keeping a jar of them cut in the
bud two weeks in his ice box and then
being able to sell them for $2 per dozen
without troubling his conscience in the
least.

The greenhouse owners all count on a
big Christmas trade. Poinsettias are
being grown in abundance. J. M.

Norwich, Conn. — F. J. Langenbach
has had a very good fall season, having
an especially fine lot of chrysanthemums.

SHASTA DAISIES.

We would like to trouble you for a lit-
tle information on Shasta daisies. First,
we have a lot of seedling plants that we
have just transplanted into flats. Can
these be grown on in the greenhouse and
get into flower by June 1, 1906? If so,
how shall we handle them to get the best
results? Second, why do Shasta daisies
die after they have flowered in the
spring? "We planted out 100 plants this
spring and they grew finely and flowered
well up to about August 1, but by Sep-
tember 15 there were not more than
twenty of them alive. They seemed to
dry up after flowering, the foliage first
turning yellow, then shriveling up. Those
that are still alive look fine and are still
blooming. P. & P.

We believe you can winter these seed-
lings quite readily in flats in a cool
greenhouse or even in a cold frame if
protected from very severe frost. We
think flats giving the plants sufficient
root room would be much better than
pots.

We cannot account for so many plants
dying after flowering unless a hot, dry
spell set in and they were dried out. As
some continued to thrive and flower it
looks as if this might be the cause.

It is doubtful if many of the dealers

The botanical name is rather difficult of
pronunciation and one with which the

but it forms, nevertheless, one of our
most important assets in holiday time.
It is but a few years ago, not over a
dozen, when it was first introduced into
the local markets by farmers who at that

gaged in cutting, packing and selling,
and the demand for good berries proper-
ly handled is greater now than ever be-
fore.

Heteromeles arbutifolia is indigenous
to California, and grows in great pro-
fusion from San Diego to Mendocino
counties. It is generally found on the
Coast Kange mountains and attains a
height of from ten to twenty-five feet.
Large clusters of spicy white flowers ap-
pear in July and August, which are fol-
lowed by bunches of rich cardjnal
berries. They are not properly ripe until
about the middle of November, and from
that time until the end of February are
at their best. They can be kept several
weeks after cutting without losing their
color, and as a decorative factor they
have no equal. The leaves are dark
green in color and of a leathery texture,
much resembling those of the arbutus.
In mild winters, such as we are at pres-
ent enjoying, the berries are especially
plentiful. Winds and frosty weather
blacken the berries and render them
unfit for sale. There are always locali-
ties, however, where they can be found
in profusion, and there are usually
enough for all purposes. The present
market price is $40 per ton. The stems
are packed in crates or boxes, consider-
able care being necessary in cutting and
boxing; otherwise they are a very un-
profitable article to handle.

The tree is of slow and straggly
growth, although it makes a very effec-
tive shrub when planted in a garden. It
is not easy to transplant and does not
stand pruning well. Hundreds of acres
have been picked over in our nearby
counties by collectors, and each season
finds the best berries farther away from
the traveled roads.

The madrone berry is being used more
extensively than ever this winter also.
It is a much larger fruit, comes in
smaller clusters, but for decorating it
is becoming a general favorite. It does
not pack as easily as our red berries,
and is handled only in loose bunches bj
the evergreen men. G.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

Christmas is almost here and business,
both at present and prospective, is good.
Prices have stiffened somewhat on all
kinds of stock. Violets are plentiful and
they alone have not felt the infection.
Roses are only in fair supply and carna-
tions can be said to be the same. Valley
and Eoman hyacinths are hardly equal
to the demand. Mums are scarce, except
the smaller, outdoor stock. Other kinds
of common stuff are entirely out. Nar-
cissi are seen in small quantities, also
daffodils. Poinsettias are in good de-
mand, with only a few offered. Azaleas
in bloom are being shown in some of the
stores. New batches of palms and ferns
are used to good advantage by the re-
tailers and everything looks prosperous
for next week.

Various Notes.

The Lacy Co.. of Fruitvale, is cutting
some extra long-stemmed Brides and
Maids and from present appearances will
have a good crop for the holidays,
bievers & Boland and Podesta & Co.
handle all their stock.

C. C. Navlet, of San Jose, is in town
hunting up some lines of stock for his
holiday trade.

NURSERY NEWS.

AMERICAN ASSOQATION OF NURSERYMEN.

Pres., E. Albertson, Bridgeport, Ind.; Vlce-
Pres., Orlando Harrison, Berlin, Md.; Sec'y, Geo.
0. Seagrer, Rochester; Treas., C. L. Yates, Roches-
ter. The 3l8t annual convention will be held a.
Dallas, Texas, June, 1906.

Charles Premd, the veteran nursery-
man of Rye, X. Y., is dead.

Surpluses of natural peach pits are
being offered, although sales have been
large.

The western nurserymen would like to
be shown just one good apple crop in
Missouri.

The demand for burlap is very heavy
and not only are prices high but sup-
plies are difficult to procure.

Those growers of apple seedlings who
complain at the price of their product
will again increase their plant.

The Northwestern railroad is plant-
ing hardy shrubs to replace the tender
stock used on station grounds along its
line in Illinois.

H. A. Terry, Crescent, la., well known
as a peony and plum raiser, has sold out
and retired at an age well beyond the
allotted three score years and ten.

Work is progressing on Prof. Bailey 's
Cyclopedia of American Agriculture, the
first volume being nearly ready for the
press.

Ornamental stock in medium and
larger sizes promises to be unusually
good property next spring. The supply
is not increasing as fast as the demand.

The committee of the American Asso-
ciation of Nurserymen is to be congratu-
lated on its success with the several class-
ification committees in securing a 16,000
pounds minimum car on fruit trees.

It is no exceptional experience to have
stocks of cherry under the demand, but
next spring is likely to see a very stiff
market on good, salable trees, due to the
wet season at many growing centers.

The Harrison Nursery Co., York,
Neb., has recently built a new frost-
proof storage cellar. The firm is com-
posed of sons of C. S. Harrison and the
business now amounts to over $40,000 a
year and is steadily increasing.

Sickness prevented Clarence Wedge,
president of the Minnesota State Horti-
cultural Society, from attending the
thirty-ninth annual meeting, held at Min-
neapolis December 5 to 7, but he sent
an address urging that greater attention
be paid to seedling apples. M. R. Cash-
man deplored the lack of interest in the
strawberry on the part of Minnesota
growers.

NOT FOREMOST.

In an article on Burbank, W. Van Fleet
calls the attention of the Rural New
Yorkers to the sensational stories of Bur-
bank 's accomplishments which have ap-
peared in the magazines, the daily papers
and even some trade publications and
says:

"How far Mr. Burbank is responsi-
ble for such bosh is not known. If he
does not enjoy this booming no public
disclaimer has yet been made. We have
appreciatively followed Burbank 's work
for many years, and have figured and

described the majority of his produc-
tions. Nearly everything that he has
given to the public has been grown on
our trial grounds. We believe him to be
an enthusiastic and energetic originator,
but we do not consider him the foremost
plant breeder in the world, if measured
by the general success of his introduc-
tions to date. He may be the most ex-
tensive breeder in regard to the variety
of plants he is working on, and in the
number of seedlings grown. He has ex-
clusively engaged in this work for the last
twelve years, while other highly success-
ful plant-breeders have kept within the
bounds of business caution, and devoted
their energies to the perfection of special
products. Thus, without touching on the
invaluable services of such originators,
now dead, as Ephraim W. Bull, raiser of
the Concord grape, or Peter M. Gideon,
who gave the Wealthy apple to the north-
west, we may mention the grand and lit-
tle rewarded work of Jacob Moore, New
York, producer of Brighton, Moore's
Early and Diamond grapes, as well as
splendid currants; T. v. Munson, Texas,
who has rehabilitated the grape industry
of the old world through breeding re-
sistant stocks, and has originated scores
of new varieties of the greatest value,
and the venerable H. A. Terry, Iowa, for
thirty-six years a patient and success-
ful breeder of valuable peonies and native
plums. It is no kindness to mention the
name of the California grower, now
heading towards the poorhouse, after giv-
ing the state two of the most profitable
stone fruits ever grown. These men are

RAILROAD TIES.

Referring to the recent note, published
in the Review, in regard to the Pennsyl-
vania railroad having planted 477,295
yellow locust trees for tie timber, Joseph
T. Richards, chief engineer of mainte-
nance of way, under whose direction the
work has been done, states that while it
is not likely that the company will at
any time plant a sufficient number of
trees from which to secure its entire sup-
ply of cross ties, it is felt that the experi-
ment will have a tendency to stimulate
outside parties to cultivate this class of
timber and in this way assist the com-
pany to secure ties at some future time.

Figuring on the basis of 3,000,000 ties
for repairs and 500,000 for new work an-
nually for the Pennsylvania, and that it
will require thirty years for a yellow lo-
cust to mature, it would require the con-
tinual use of 97,500 acres, or 152 square
miles, to supply the Pennsylvania rail-
road. As to the locust, Mr. Richards be-
lieves it is superior to oak on account of
its resistance to rail cutting, and a life
in excess of ten years is expected.

A FAIR DAY.

Your answer to my enquiries in the
Review of December 7 mentions "fair
days, ' ' and I would like to ask what is
a fine day? Is it a bright, clear, sunny
day, or generally speaking a day without
I'ain, or stormy weather? In this part of
the country (western New York) we get
only one clear day a month, on the aver-
age, from December to March; the rest
cloudy days. H. B. S.

The statement was made a few days
ago by a representative fruit grower
of Jacksonville, Tex., that in a certain
shipment of peaches made last season,
peaches finally sold in New York for $1
per crate. Of this sum 7 cents went to
the commission people, 70 cents to the
railroads and the remaining 23 cents
went to the man who raised the peaches.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

Decembeb 14, 1905.

BALTIMORE.

The Market.

Now that the chrysanthemum season
is over, you hear the same old story
about carnation supply being short and
the demand heavy. Any kind of carna-
tion finds ready sale and not any are
carried over at the wholesale houses.
American Beauty roses are scarce. The
best sell at $4 per dozen. There are
plenty of Brides, Maids, Gates and Ivory
of all grades. Prices are from $3 to $6
per hundred. Both single and double
violets are more plentiful and quality
never better for the season, both selling
well. Asparagus in bunches is much in
demand, but cut up strings put in
bunches are not wanted when the other
can be had.

The Exchange.

Under the management of John J.
Perry, the business of the Florists' Ex-
change has been growing steadily and
it has become necessary to locate more
conveniently. After considerable search-
ing a site 31x100 feet has been selected,
on which a building suitable to handle
the growing trade will soon be erected.
The lot fronts on three sides, which will
give the place plenty of light and air
and is located about four city blocks
from the center of the city and right in
the midst of our leading retail florists.
The lot is located on the southwest cor-
ner of Franklin and St. Paul streets.
It is intended to devote the first floor
to the daily handling of the Exchange's
business, and the second floor for an ex-
hibition hall, etc. A. F.

TRIED AND PROVEN-Rochester's New Carnation

44

5^

May Bennett

REMARKABLE KEEPING QUALITIES

Color perfectly distinct, shading from medium to light pink. Long stems,
strong and vigorous grower. As a producer equals William Scott. Growers
wanting a good all-round Carnation for color, yield and growth, should not
overlook "May Bennett."

Price, $10 per 100 ; $75 per 1000 ; 250 at 1000 rate.

Gentlemen— We do not hesitate to recommend the new carnation "May Bennett," as we
have had nearly the entire cut the past year. It has been a general favorite with our trade on
account of its fragrance, keeping qualities and pleading color. As a general utility carnation
it has no equal. (Signed) J. B. KELLER SONS. Florists, Rochester, N. Y.

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO.

A visit among the growers was a treat
to the writer a few days ago. The Pike's
Peak Floral Co. houses are as neat and
clean as could be and the roses certainly
showed up fine. Cyclamen and poinset-
tias are hard to match. Just next door
we found Frank Crump with a broad
smile on his face, and justly so, as his
mums were the envy of all. The Colo-
rado Springs Floral Co. displayed a very
handsome window for Thanksgiving, in
Lorraines and violets. At J. B. Braid-
wood's the roses and carnation stock
were grand. He has just opened a new
store at 110 North Tejon street, which
has proven a decided success. A recent
window decoration was a memorial for
the Elks. A forest of staghorn fern
was a background for a floral clock with
the hands pointing to 11 o'clock, the
significance of which will be apparent to
all members of the order. The window
attracted much attention. It was the
work of A. C. Eott, who is a past exalted
ruler of the Bloomington, Ind., lodge.

DES MOINES, lA.

A new cut flower store has just been
started in this city, called the Alpha
Floral Co., and the opening which took
place last Saturday attracted a great
deal of attention. The store was crowded
with visitors all the afternoon and even-
ing. They have one of the flnest loca-
tions in the city and their room was fixed
up in elegant shape. P.

The Weekly Florists^ Review^

Decembkr 14, 1905.

NASHVILLE, TENN.

A small army of men, consisting of
ditch diggers, carpenters, masons,
plumbers and general laborers, is kept
busy making various improvements and
additions about the Joy & Sons green-
house establishment, on their farm of
ninety-two acres located just outside of
the city limits. Their immense plant,
consisting of thirty-five modern houses,
comprising 120,000 feet of glass, is vpell
worthy of a visit, and may prove a reve-
lation to some who regara noriculture m
the south as very backward. Far from
it, indeed!

To begin with, their five houses of
American Beauty roses, two 25x100 and
three 30x375, could not possibly be sur-
passed anywhere, by the most painstak-
ing rose grower, either for profusion and
color of bloom or the vigorous growth
of the plants. This likewise holds true
as regards their Brides, Bridesmaids
and Eichmond, the latter, in the esti-
mation of Mr. Joy, Jr., being the only
red rose worthy of the name, as well as
of the greenhouse space.

Nor does disappointment await one
at their carnation section. Enchantress
and Lawson, both pink and white, are
behaving in a manner that silences
criticism, while Lady Bountiful is prov-
ing itself bountiful in deed as well as
in name. The Cardinal is unquestion-
ably a fine red and does well here,
though a better all-around red is still
■wanted.

Chrysanthemums, both single stem and
those three and four to the plant, were
at their best at the time of my visit.
As a matter of course the best varieties
extant are grown here. Violets, princi-
pally single, were especially fine.

Messrs. Joy & Son are changing their
heating apparatus, introducing the best
system that engineering skill could de-
vise and an expenditure, regardless of
extent, could equip. T. C. Joy is now
installed in hia new residence on the
place, an ideal home, built in the colon-
ial style of architecture and equipped
with all the modern devices of the twen-
tieth century comforts. X.

RAFFIA

RAFFIA IN HORTICULTURE

A skein of raffla is an every-day ne-
cessity wherever floriculture or horti-
culture are carried on. Raffla Is the
favorite tying material with the plants-
men for several reasons. Not the least
of these is its comparative inexpen-
siveness, but greatest of all is the fact
that it neither stretches nor shrinks
under the influence of heat or mois-
ture. Once properly adjusted, a tie of
raffla does not loosen, releasing that
which it was intended to hold; neither
does it shrink and cut the plant, per-
haps to ruin it. It is soft and pliable,
and does not break or ravel when
folded or knotted. These qualities
bring raffla into general use for many
purposes in nurseries and green-
houses, where heat or moisture are
always found.

Raffla is also especially adapted for
grafting.

WHERE TO OBTAIN RAFFIA

We import only the best selected
stock. It costs more, but it is money
well spent. We can, therefore, offer
a choice grade, selected on account of
its clear color for dyeing purposes.
The strands are broad and of good
length.

We carry in stock an assortment of
20 different colors, including brown, 2
shades; blue, 2 shades; green, 4 shades;
red, 3 shades; old gold, orange, yel-
low, pink, purple, black and white.

PHYSALIS FRANCHETTL

It is remarkable how well this plant
has done with market growers, says the
Horticultural Advertiser. During the
autumn it has been one of the most
prominent features in the London mar-
ket. There has been considerable differ-
ence in the various samples seen; where
grown too strong they do not finish off
so well; those of moderate strength color
best; and it seems that the most suitable
soil is sandy loam. One grower who has
it in good condition tells me that he does
not re-plant often, but runs the horse hoe
or harrow through it. This takes out a
good many roots but leaves sufficient,
and also cleans the ground and leaves it
open. It is one of those plants which,
being hardy and easily cultivated, we are
getting larger supplies than are needed.
Yet it will always pay to do it in smaller
quantities, and do it really well. At the
present time the best samples make re-
munerative prices, while loads of rougher
grown samples fail to find a market.
Several growers are doing it well in pots,
and it makes a showy plant; but most of
those that I have seen have been in lar-
ger pots than most decorators care to
use, and the consequence is that pot
plants do not sell readily. The fact that
when cut it lasts so well may also be
against the sale of pot plants. A limited
number may pay, but it will never be
worth doing in pots in large quantities.

BOSTON FERNS.

For several years it has been the regu-
lar thing for Boston ferns to be over-
plentiful in the fall and early winter,
prices being low and sales slow. It has
often been stated by growers thaj; they
feared the day of the Boston was over,
but the spring has always seen an active
demand and stock well cleaned up. In-
deed, last spring it was almost impossi-
ble to purchase Bostons, even though
the stock the autumn before had been
the largest on record..

The growers of Bostons should be cau-
tioned, however, against sending out to
their customers plants just potted from
the bench. Such stock does not give satis-
faction and it is an injury to the reputa-
tion of the man who sells it and does
an injury to the trade at large.

Y-

Ironton, O. — Weber Bros, have had
a very satisfactory fall season. They
had an excellent crop of chrysanthemums
and the trade took them up as fast as
ready. Good crops are in sight for the
holidays.

RED SPORT

the most perfect and profitable red ever growiit is a beautiful Crane red, gracefully sup-
ported by a long, wiry stem and has a calyx that never splits. Red Sport will produce
more blooms per square foot of bench room than any other variety. The fact that Red
Sport is better in this its fifth year than ever before, guarantees it as a commercial perfection.

RICHMOND, IND.

That the E. G. Hill Co. is well pleased
with the results obtained at the various
chrysanthemum exhibitions through the
country goes without saying. It is one
thing to win a few prizes and it is quite
another thing to get the cream of the
premiums. Those who saw their prize
winners at the Chicago, Philadelphia,
Kansas City and Indianapolis shows
need not wonder how it all came about.
But chrysanthemums are at present a
thing of the past here, though a few
late varieties are still holding up their
heads in fine shape and may last until
Christmas.

Kichmond rose, as seen here, and tor
that matter, elsewhere, is fulfilling every
claim made for this most meritorious
red rose. It is a winner from the
standpoints of both retailer and grower.
The ideal, however, has by no means
been reached by the Eichmond. There
are others on the way, John Lemon,
named after Mr. Hill's favorite grand-
son, a magnificent specimen of a red
rose, surpassing in beauty, form of
bloom, foliage and stem anything thav
ever "came out of a seed pod." Great
hopes are centered upon this rose, al-
though it will require another season to
test thoroughly its commercial value.
The consensus of opinion is that John
Lemon is to make its mark.

Joseph Hill, of which two benches
are planted, has every appearance of
being a splendid commercial variety.
Its color is certainly attractive, resemb-
ling somewhat the Sunrise, though u
larger bud and a finer stem. Another
point, much in its favor, is its produc-
tiveness. It has been in crop all season,
with every promise of continuance
through the winter.

In carnations, there are two fine reds,
several whites, a few pinks and some
crimsons, one or two plants of each, all
promising. Those to be selected for fu-
ture distribution must come up to every
requirement, else ' ' the light of day shall
never dawn upon them."

Mr. Hill has had enough experience
with seedlings and has perhaps discard-
ed more "promising" things than all
the seedlings put out within the last two
or three years combined. In his own
words: "It must be an all-around TVin-
ner before it leaves this place."

The usual quantities of geraniums,
fuchsias, heliotropes and bedding stock
of all kinds have been planted in antic-
ipation of a heavy demand.

Chrysanthemums will be grown in
larger quantities than heretofore, the
demand for young plants for early
spring delivery warranting the increase.
Mme. Touset, the early Chadwick, and
Jeanne Nonin, the largest late white,
judging by the orders already booked,
will certainly be much in evidence a
year hence in various parts of the coun-
try. ^•

CHANGING TO STEAM.

I would like to change from hot water
to steam for my greenhouses. Please
tell me what size of boiler I need for
the following amount of glass: Five
houses 20x60, walls four feet, ridges nine
feet, east ends protected, glass in west
gables. I am also building a new house
on the east side, 22x100, wall five feet
high, ridge ten feet, glass in one gable
and two feet in south wall. Which is the
best way to pipe them? I have 1-inch
and 2-inch pipes in the old houses and
would like to use 1-inch in the new
house. "What size of pipe will I need
from the boiler! Indiana climate.

A. J. L.

To meet your present requirements,
i e., to supply heat for five houses 20x60
feet and one house 22x100 feet, a twenty-
five horse-power boiler will be required.
A standard size for such a boiler is forty-
two inches in diameter by twelve feet
in length, with 370 square feet of heat-
ing surface in a horizontal tubular boiler.
A 2-inch riser under the ridge in each of
the houses 20x60 feet, supplying L-inch
returns under the benches, will be satis-
factory. In the new house the returns
will be best if made of 1*4 -inch pipe.
The riser or flow under the ridge of the
new house should be 2% -inch, supplying
twelve 1%-inch returns and each of the
houses 20x60 feet should have fifteen
l-inch returns. I* C. C.

WIT AND HUMOR.

It is with pleasure that the editor
states that the following are not orig-
inal, merely clippings:

Right in Line.

"This flower is strictly up to date,"
said the florist,

"What do you mean by that?" asked
the prospective customer.

"Why," he explained, "it was ob-
tained by grafting,"

A Flower Garden.

Miss Pansy Baker has accepted a po-
sition with Ordway, the florist. As Mr.
Ordway also employs a boy by the
name of Eose, it is evident that he
wishes to carry the idea of his business
as far as possible.

A Floral Tribute.

The curtain was rung up for the third
time, and Margaret Blake stepped for-
ward to the call of her admiring au-
dience. She spoke with a graceful mod-
esty that charmed, then gathered her
floral tributes. Was it the intense ex-
citement or the blinding array of foot-
lights that dazzled and confused her?

Quietly reposing on a lower box rail
at the corner of the stage she saw a
magnificent bunch of violets — her fa-
vorite flowers — ostensibly placed there by
a sweet-faced, dark-haired lady behind
them.

With applause still ringing in her
ears, Miss Blake leaned forward and
took the lovely bouquet, acknowledging
the gift by a pretty bow.

The sweet-faced, dark-haired lady
reached after her with strange and sud-
den haste.

"Give me back my hat!" she cried,
hysterically.

COAL FAMINE POSSIBLE.

A number of large growers have been
advised by their coal dealers to carry as
large a supply of fuel as possible for
preparations are believed by some to be
under way for a vast shutdown among
the coal operators of the country. The
anthracite operators of the east held a
meeting in Philadelphia a few days ago.
They thrashed out the subject as to
whether they had better grant the de-
mands of the United Mine Workers of
America. It was the consensus of opin-
ion that they fight the miners.

It was agreed, however, that an effort
will be made to secure the co-operation
of the bituminous mines and thus cause
a shutdown of all coal mining in the
country.

The anthracite operators decided first
to call in all their agents. That is, the
sales will be made from central head-
quarters in the future and no drumming
of trade will be done until the mining
question is settled.

A Pittsburg coal operator sent a rep-
resentative among the eastern coal stor-
age points two weeks ago to learn just
what shape the dealers are in to with-
stand a long strike. He found every
storage bin loaded to the top.

The railroads have taken care to lay
by every ton of coal possible and many
small coal dealers are said to have sold
or leased their coal storage bins to the
larger dealers and railroads. The Penn-
sylvania railroad uses 1,000 carloads of
soft coal a dav.

NECESSITIES for the Florist

I *

i IIH.K Model.

No. 1— Model Extension Carnation Sup-
port. Light, strong and easily applied.
Every grower of Carnations should use tdese.

No. 2— Model "Extension Ring" Carnation
and Plant Support. This is a stake with
"Corkscrew Anchor." It has an extension
ring which can be extended or contracted as
desired and has a spring which clasped
around the stake will hold the ring firmly in
place at any desired height as shown in cut.

No. 4— New Model Extension Carnation
Support. This new tnr>del support is in
every way identical with our Model Supports
with the only exception of the anchor. It is
preferred by some growers on account of the
lower price and corkscrew anchor.

NOTICE - Our Model Tomato and Heavy Plant Support is the same as No, 1 and No. 4, It is made of heavy galvanized

Greenhouse Boiler. ^2^*--?^-^

BollerB made of the best material; shell, fire-box
sheets and heads of steel; water space all around,
front, sides and back. Write for information.

N. ZwEiFEL, No. Milwaukee.Wis., writes:— "I have 4 houses, each 28x200 feet, with a total
of 27,000 sq. ft. of glass. I can get all the pipes warm in thirty minutes with one of your No-
13 Boilers, and it is easy firing."

Grant Newport, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, writes:— "I bought a No. 2 Boiler in 1902. Takes
care of 7,000 sq. ft. of glass; would take care of 2,000 more. I have had a cast-iron boiler,
but it broke down twice In tour years, always in the coldest weather. It broke down
Dec. 26, 1904, and I lost all my stock in consequence. I have now two No. 2 Kroeschell
Boilers and do not worry about their breaking down."

CAPAQTY OF BOILER.

We notice on page 1456 of a recent
issue that the capacity of a Scotch marine
boiler eight feet by forty-four inches is
given as 750 lineal feet of 4-inch pipe.
Is this not a mistake? It would seem
to us that a boiler of such size should
take care of more heating surface, espe-
cially so when you consider that our
smallest boiler, No. 1, will positively
take care of 2,000 running feet of 4-
inch pipe. Please let us know what you
have to say about this. If the differ-
ence is as great as your article makes
out, it surely ought to be a great boom
for our boiler. Kroeschell Bros. Co.

It is gratifying to have a blunder
caught up before harm is done. They
are quite right; the Scotch marine boiler
in question has a capacity for much more
than 750 feet of 4-inch pipe. It is evi-
dent that 1,750 feet was intended, as this
is very close to the true capacity of the
boiler. L. C. C.

A BEGONIA SHOW.

"^Fr. Jones, I want a nice display of
begonias."

' ' You shall have it. ' '

This was tlie brief colloquy between
Superintendent of Parks George W.
Burke and Foreman John Jones, of the
conservatory in Schenley park, Pittsburg.
The result surprises lovers of flowers,
who, because the chrysanthemum show is
over, have feared there would be nothing
special to reward the visitor.

In compliance with the orders of Su-
perintendent Burke, Foreman Jones and
his men prepared a beautiful display of
the lovely begonia. The entire wing
connecting the palm and the victoria
houses is given over to the flower.

The main variety of begonias on ex-
hibit is Ciloire de Lorraine. It forms
the prevailing color scheme of the
masses, and a sport of Gloire, the Turn-
ford Hall, pure white, is interspersed
and massed in large quantities. Groups
of Begonia semperflorens and of Chinese
primroses combine to present a fine
scene.

Gentlemen: —

I am very much pleased with the new
house, and I wish you could see the crop
that I have in it. All my other houses have
good crops, but this one is a record breaker,
and the north bench is as good as any, as
there is absolutely no shade except a nar-
row strip fron the south gutter.

The special roof trussing works all
right, and it is conceded by brother flor-
ists and gardeners who have visited me, that
it is as good and substantial a house as
any one could desire.

Very truly yours,

J. A. Long.

of the same, must be possessed with good judgment and are generally suc-

WE CAN'T STAMP

our trade-mark on our greenhouses but our reputation does it for
us. You can't mistake one of our houses, it's the way ***'^y are
built and what they are built of that does it.

Take that one point of the galvanized angle-iron eave plate with the sash bar
clips attached : It is right at the weak point in the usual construction where we make it
strong — the vital, tying tQgether part of your house ; the point where a wood joint
always rots, an ungalvanized iron always rusts. Our galvanized eave plate is securely
attached to the side posts ; the sash bar firmly fastened to it by the sash bar clasp, in
such a way as to make the joint moisture free, and adding tremendously to the rigidity
of the house. Its very simplicity and compactness of construction obstructs the least
possible light.

This is just one of the points about our houses — but that one point points toward
the durability of your house and the increase of your plant growths.

You don't pay anything for our 50 years of experience, but it will cost you some-
thing if you don't have it.

WORKING WITH WILD SMILAX.

Following the chancel decoration as
shown in the illustration in last week's
Review, we find another distinct type
of decoration on the chancel rail and
gallery designs as seen in today's pic-
ture. Wild smilax is too often seen
stretched, trimmed and rearranged into
mere ropes, and festooned across a room
diagonally, and crossed from opposite
corners. There are enough other materi-
als in green which can be used as festoon-
ing only. Use wild smilax in just the
shape that it comes, in large flat sprays,
tapering from its widest span of several
feet to a graceful pointed tip. Thus
allowed its liberty, and fastened securely
at the heavy end, it will take its own
position and remain there with little aid.
Set anotner spray in the opposite direc-
tion and fasten the end at the same
points as the first and you have a com-
plete vine, as it were.

All of the fastenings, in the gallery
designs, of which there are very few, are
made on the back or under side of the
gallery wood-work. The spray ends
which follow the surface of the pillars
are in the position which they assumed of
their own accord on being suspended
from the gallery. Often two or three
pieces may be wired together to make one
large spray, or what appears to be one
vine.

The left end of the supposed vine
branches, one part ending as it hangs
over the chandelier, and the other climb-
ing to the organ pipes above. A little
past the center of the gallery section
seen, a spray falls down to the chancel
rail and trails along the top part of
the pulpit and over to the steps leading
into the chancel.

What few palms were used were of
medium height, so that when set on the
floor they could not obscure the bridal
party during the ceremony.

Smilax not only makes the best ap-
pearance when used in some style simi-
lar to this, but as the Yankee cook has
it, "goes farther." In this case one
fifty-pound case decorated the chancel
and two long galleries, which is as much
as could possibly be done with the ex-
penditure of a Uke sum.

THE HILL BANQUET,

The banquet given to James J. Hill
December 14 by the citizens of St. Paul
^vas without doubt the finest from the
florists' standpoint of any function given
in St. Paul since the first florist estab-
lished himself there, and it was many
.vears ago when the pioneers, A. H.
Kunde, E. F. Lemke and a party by the
name of Beal began in the business. The
'j-reat Northern Railway and its different
^™o°8 were mapped out on the tables
ot the banquet hall, in the form of rail-
load tracks of white carnations and ties
ot Lawson carnations. The railway em-
bankment was four inches high, of green
sneet moss covered with green galax

leaves, the embankments showing the
proper slopes. At intervals of a few feet
were electric lamps showing alternately
red and green lights. Opposite each cover
and pinned to the slope of the embank-
ment was the name of a Great Northern
station, large gold letters on a wide col-
ored ribbon. Each guest, as he came in,
exchanged his dinner card for a coupon
ticket, which contained in duplicate his
track or table. Four of the Great North-
ern Railway conductors wearing railway
full dress, armed with railway lanterns
and punches, collected the coupons and
indicated the direction of the track to
which each guest was assigned. The
tracks were shown by floral boards let-
tered with white carnations and Liberty
roses. On the two center tracks were two
complete floral trains made of carnations
and roses and all lighted with electric
bulbs. The engii.es were headed for the

upon which was lettered "St. Paul — J.
J." Hill."

The pillars in the large dining hall
were profusely trimmed with wild smi-
lax and studded with poinsettias, pro-
ducing a brilliant effect. The large
windows of the dining room were heavily
draped with wild smilax and drawn up
like curtains, to which were attached
large bunches of roses tied with ribbon.
At the end of the hall was a large steam -
I ship to represent the steamship Minne-
sota. Flags of all nations were hanging
through the room and when the lights
were turned on the sight was grand.
Kvery detail was looked after and L. L.
May & Co. with a score of men worked
two days and one night getting the deco-
ration put up. Palms were in abund-
ance and the dining room was nothing
short of a bower of foliage and bloom,
which with 500 colored electric lights set
it off to perfection. The sight to the
guest must have been very similar to
fairyland. Ail the florists in the city
called to examine it carefully and some*
after seeing it hurried to get their better-
halves to look the situation over. They
all pronounced it to be the finest dis-
play St. Paul has ever had.

In the corners of the large dining hall
were immense groups of palms raised
from ten to fifteen feet above the floor
and interspersed with colored electric

head table, at which Mr. Hill sat. Di-
rectly in front of him was a round house
thirty-six inches in diameter made soli'i
of white carnations and Bridesmaids. On
the roof of the round house was a largo
star of Law^on carnations on which was
lettered ' ' G. N,, ' ' and at his side was a
16-inch heart of white carnations pierced
with an arrow of red carnatioi.s and

lights. The steamboat and flags were
furnished by Holm & Olson. The boat
was made of Harlowarden carnations,
yellow chrysanthemums, immortelles and
cape flowers. The flags were made of
immortelles, and, while they were neatly
made, the question arises, does it pay to
mix everlasting flowers with natural flow-
ers? The correspondent is desirous of

having other views on the matter. Is it
encouraging to the art or can it be con-
sidered a retrogression? Eight thousand
carnations were used in the construction
of the tracks and ties, Felix.

FREESIAS.

We have a lot of freesias growing iu
flats and what we want to know is, will
they need any more watering after they
get done blooming, or just let them dry
off all at once? B. & S.

We would certainly say that if the

freesia corms are to be kept for future
forcing they should not be dried off * * all
at once." It is against nature and
reason. Some plants seem to endure a
sudden arrest of growth, but with bulb-
ous plants it is at the time of flowering
and fullest leafage that they are storing
up the strength for future flowering, in
many cases forming the embryo bud.
Put the flats where space is not valuable,
but where they will gradually ripen their
foliage and water to avoid extreme dry-
ness. W. S.

Forcing Single Tulips.
It is now time to bring in your earliest
planted tulips, which will bring them
into flower about the third week of Jan-
uary, when they will be looked for and
be in satisfactory condition. The beauti-
ful Proserpine is the earliest of all, but
rather short-stemmed unless well man-
aged. Then comes Yellow Prince, the
most profitable tulip of all. Then there
is Chrysolora, another good forcing yel-
low; Vermilion Brilliant, the finest scar-
let; the useful La Beine, white but often
assuming beautiful shades of pink 5 Bose
Grisdelin and Cottage Maid, both fine
pinks. All cf the above will now force.
It would pay you to examine a box of
each variety. If they are just peep-
ing through the soil in the flats don't
attempt to force them, but if the
growth is two or three inches above the
soil they are sufficiently rooted to make
a stem and flower.

Necessary Conditions.

The conditions to force the earliest
tulips are just the reverse of those for
forcing lily of the valley, which needs
warmth at the roots and moderate tem-
perature for leaf and flower. The tulips
require a strong top heat, but only a
mild heat at the roots. In fact, much
heat would scorch the roots and that
would be fatal. Most of you have a side
bench beneath which are the steam or
hot water pipes and this is, or should be,
three or four inches from the wall. 1
say should be, for you still occasionally
see a bench nailed up to the wall. Of
all idiotic things this is the worst, in-
cluding rot and murder. Now, if you
will tack up a piece of cheese-cloth, or
oil-cloth is even better, to the wall a foot
or two above the bench and let it hang
down the front of the bench below the
level of the pipes you will confine the
heat around the tulips; 80 degrees top
heat is not too high for the earliest. The
little he.at that comes through the boards
will not hurt.

In this strong heat they will want one
or two sprayings daily, but only ordinary
moisture at the roots. The shade is, of"
course, applied to induce length of stem.
The treatment is all right until the
earliest flowers show color, when the
shade can be thrown back or the flats re-
moved to another bench, but not to a
very cool house or the later flowers will
just stand still. As the season advances
less shade and heat are required, until we

reach March, when little heat and no
shade are necessary. Spring has come
to waken them into growth, as it does all
animated nature.

Some few years ago we thought it ad-
visable to bring into the house a num-
ber of flats of early tulips and put them
under a cool bench, where they could go
on making roots without being forced.
It did not work. They were a failure
when we put them in the hot box and
we think tulips brought in and im-
mediately given heat is still the best
plan.

Von Sion Narcissi.

There is, however, an exception with

an important bulbous flower and we only
observed that wrinkle last winter. Never
get so old or petrified that you cannot
grasp a new idea, no matter from what
source. A youthful employee may stop
forward with a suggestion. Listen and
weigh it over. In his close association
with the plants that he is constantly *
watching, he may have observed some-
thing that escaped you.

Von Sion narcissi can be brought in
in December or later, on favorable occa-
sions, and stored beneath the benches
and they will go on advancing toward
flower and the most forward can be
brought up to force as you need them.
With the Von Sion it worked quite the
reverse from the tulips.

Don't touch a double tulip for two
months yet. I have seen Tournesol in
flats with the flowers sitting on the soil
like mushrooms and the ignorant florist
blaming the dealer. How many things
the poor seedsman has to bear from the
ignorance of the so-called gardener! He
is easier to reach than the real cause of
failure.

Stevia.

Albert Mauff, of Denver, called on us
about Thanksgiving. He remarked that
their stevia was much earlier than ours.
He was cutting at that time and would
get another crop of shorter spikes in
January. We never thought a second
crop, if it came, would be of much qual-
ity or profitable. Considering that it
need occupy the benches but two months
and a very cool house is all it asks, we

Home and Greenhouse Establishment of George £. Buxton, Nashua, N. H.

A NEW ENGLAND PLACE.

The accompanying illustration repre-
sents Geo. E. Buxton 's residence and
greenhouse plant at Nashua, N. H. It
is an ideal place, admirably located on
a fine tract of land, comprising about
eight acres, upon the main thoroughfare
between Nashua and Manchester.

The history of Mr. Buxton's business
dates back to the fall of 1884, when he
embarked in the florists' business, com-
mencing with one house of 18x96, in the
southern part of the city. Those were the
days when specialists and specialties,
with some rare exceptions, were in their
embryo, when the average flue-heated
greenhouse presented a sort of ex-
perimental ground under glass and
when the average florist knew much
less about things than he does today.
Believing that "experience is the best
teacher" Mr. Buxton experimented, the
result being four additional up-to-date
houses in the course of a few years. In
the summer of 1896, finding an increased
demand for his product and his facilities
inadequate, he removed his plant to his
present location. Here six modern, well
appointed and splendidly equipped houses
produce the stock for the local as well
as the Boston market.

Mr. Buxton, though an all around
grower, is pre-eminently a carnation man.
His entire place is practically devoted to
carnations and, as a matter of fact, only
the best varieties are grown here. En-
chantress, Fiancee, Mrs. M. A. Patten,
White Lawson, the Queen, Cardinal,
Harry Fenn and Fair Maid, make up his
list of money-makers. A block of Helen
Goddard has been planted and from all
appearances it is not only a winner,
but it is sure to replace the Lawson and
to become the standard pink. In addi-
tion to all its other merits, such as pro-
•luctiveness, color, stem, etc., it possesses
a vigorous constitution, a most admirable
trait, worthy of special note.

Mr. Buxton is a member of the Boston
Florists' and Gardeners' Club and of
the American Carnation Society. Locally
he is identified with the K. of P. and the
I. 0. O. F. One child. Miss Marion Pat-
ten Buxton, a beautiful girl in her teens,
cheers the home of Mr. and Mrs. Buxton.

BOSTON CLUB'S FIELD DAY.

The periodical field days of the Boston
Gardeners' and Florists' Club have been
so successful that the announcement of
such an affair, even at this busy period,
is sure to bring out a good crowd. Favor-
able weather was enjoyed on the occa-
sion of the field day at Framingham, on
December 16, and the attendance was the |
largest of any excursion yet held, over j
sixty going. ^

J. T. Butterworth's. \

J. T. Butterworth's South Framing- i
ham establishment was first inspected.
In the orchid houses a fine lot of Cat-
tleya Percivalliana and C. triisne were
right for Christmas, also numbers of |
Laelia anceps and L. autumnalis. Thou-
sands of Cypripedium insigne were open,
many of them borne on 18-inch stems.
A finer lot would be hard to find. Car-
nation houses looked well and some Bon-
naffon chrysanthemums were still in evi-
dence, also a splendid lot of freesia in
bloom. Lily of the valley is Avell done
here and large quantities of bulbs in all
salable sorts are handled.

S. J. Goddard's.

At S. J. Goddard 's the first house in-
spected was filled with Helen Goddard.
Blooms, buds and flowering shoots in all
stages proved that this variety is not a
cropper, but a continuous bloomer, not

1 a sign of a burst calyx or of disease.
The flowers are not large, averaging two
and one-half to three inches across, but
aire of a beautiful Joost shade and soil
on sight. It should rank with Queen
as a money-maker. J. H. Manley car-
ried a fine Cliristmas crop. Prosperity
was large and of extra fine color, bring-
ing topnotch market prices. Enchantress
was the queen of the light pink varieties
and of extra good color. Fair Maid Mr.
Goddard grows, but does not count as
profitable as Enchantress. He finds En-

i chantress keeps finely.

Seedling scarlet No. 10 was produc-
ing quantities of large blooms of a brick
red color. The calyx seemed very strong.

! Harry Fenn was a mass of bloom and
classed as the most profitable sort grown

I here. Mrs. Patten was off crop. It is
doing better than last year, but is not
classed as one that pays well. Cardinal
is very good and will be tried again,
color splendid and plant very healthy.

Fiancee has produced wonderfully up to
date, but is now splitting badly. Plants
are mostly cut back for cuttings, which
are in good demand. Fred Burki has
not done well, but is improving, stems
good and flowers very fragrant. Lady
Bountiful is good, much better than in
1904-5. Storekeepers complain about this
variety being a poor keeper.

Queen is indeed queen of whites here, a
wealth of blooms overtopping all others
in size and quantity, just as thick now
as in October when picking started. Mrs.
W. L. Lewis is on trial, but it is too
early to pass an opinion on it yet. A
new propagating house was being used
to good advantage. Stocks of freesia,
callas, primulas and other plants for re-
tail trade Avere noted. Eetail business is
steadily o« the increase.

Wm. Nicholson's.

William Nicholson's plant was last
visited and everything found in fine
shape. Carnations were, of course, the
chief attraction here and were carrying
a wealth of bloom. A grand lot of Pros-
perity, which is splendidly grown here,
bristled with flowers and buds. Aristo-
crat and Afterglow, Witterstaetter's new
seedlings, carried some grand flowers.
The latter seemed to be the most popu-
lar. Fiancee has produced an immense
quantity of big blooms. To remedy its
bursting tendency it will probably need
a night temperature of 56 degrees. Vic-
tory was looking exceedingly well and is
a beautiful scarlet. Kobert Craig was
less free. Lieut. Peary is a promising
white. Crimson Glow (Dailledouze) is a
very promising crimson of fine color. A
Dailledouze pink seedling was not so
yood. Enchantress looked splendid, as
did Fair Maid, of which latter a good
many are grown. It holds its color well
in spring and summer. Manley was very
free. All it lacks is size. A few Flam-
ingo are still grown and John E. Haines
is under trial. Lady Bountiful is grown
to some extent and Gov. "Wolcott quite
largely. The latter does well here, pro-
ducing very fine flowers. The Queen car-
ried a great crop. Eldorado is still the
most profitable yellow and Harlowarden
is found especially good for summer
blooming. Harry Fenn is the king of
crimsons, being a great producer.

In addition to carnations, fine batches
of mignonette, marguerites yellow and

with the plants that he is eonstantly

uhite, cyclamens, Primula obconica, vio-
lets, winter blooming geraniums and
other plants Avere noted, everything be-
ing in fine condition.

Entertaioment.

Cigars were furnished members at S.
J. Goddard's vvhile at Mr. Nicholson's a
fine collation was served. Speeches were
next in order. After some eulogistic re-
marks on places visited, President
Wheeler called on M. A. Patten and J.

R. Fotheringham for remarks. Thomas
J. Grey made one of his usual happy
speeches, and spoke of the time when he
was club president and addressed empty
chairs. W. Davis and Duncan Finlayson
spoke briefly. J. W. Duncan spoke for
the horticultural press. He said he could
not make a speech, but spoke so long the
members nearly lost their car. Boston
was reached on the return journey at
6:30 after a most delightful and profit-
able outing. W. N. C.

GRAFTING.

Those who contemplate doing their
own grafting should soon have their
supply of stocks on hand, so that they
can have them potted and got ready for
the operation, as the stocks must of
necessity be in such a condition that
they will be able to give an immediate
supply of sap to the newly attached
scion.

The season when this operation can
most successfully be performed is dur-
ing January, February and March, as
during this period we can control condi-
tions, such as temperature, moisture,
etc., much better than when the season
is further advanced. There is also less
trouble in regulating the shading, ven-
tilation, etc.

To make a success of this method of
propagating one of the first essentials
is to have a suitable grafting box or
frame, in which to place the newly
grafted stock. This frame should be so
constructed that the bottom would be at
least eighteen inches above the piping
and the sides boarded up back and front
to conserve the heat. There should also be
sufficient piping under the case to main-
tain a temperature of 80 degrees un^er
any conditions. The top of the frame
should be provided with glazed sash,
which should be at least eighteen inches
above the bottom of the bench and the
whole structure made practically air-
tight.

About one inch of screened Jishes
should be placed in the bottom of the
bench, upon which to set the plants.
This also serves to retain the requisite
amount of moisture in the frame.

The most common style of graft em-
ployed in commercial places is the whip
graft, but, as expediency and speed are
objects to be considered, the propagator
usually employs that style at which he
is most expert. The manual part of this
method of propagating, while being sim-
ple, is rather difficult to describe and an
object lesson of a few minutes will con-

vey more information than columns of
descriptive matter.

The fundamental principle pertaining
to all styles of grafting is the necessity
of having direct communication be-
tween the layers of inner bark in all the
parts to be united, as without this a per-
fect union cannot take place. The
woody parts of stock and scion never
unite but are so covered over by the
outer growths that the fact is not ap-
parent unless the part is dissected.

Jf this principle is adhered to the
style of grafting can be varied at the

pleasure of the operator with equal
chances of success.

The knife used should have a very
keen edge, as the cleaner the cut so
much sooner will union take place.

The scion should be tied firmly in
place with some soft material, but not
so tight as to cause an abrasion of the
bark.

The wood for the scions should be of
the same quality as that recommended
for cuttings and should be selected with
the same critical care.

The care and management of the
grafting box will be treated in a future
article.

A pamphlet by Alex. Montgomery, Jr.,
published by the Eeview, giving a re-
sume of this method of propagating con-
tains many hints which would be of
great benefit to the beginner and inex-
perienced and in fact to any one prac-
ticing this metliod of propagating.

CRIMSON RAMBLERS.

Please tell us again when is the proper
time to bring in Crimson Ramblers for
forcing in the greenhouse so as to have
them in bloom for Easter. M. S.

These plants should be brought in as
soon as possible and placed in a house
with a temperature of about 45 degrees
and left there until the buds begin to
swell, when the temperature should be
gradually raised till 56 degrees is at-
tained. "With ordinary care they should
come into bloom at Easter at this tem-
perature. Careful observation as the sea-
son progresses may dictate a higher or
a lower temperature to time them prop-
erly. RiBES.

CARNATION NOTES.-EAST.

Selection in Propagation.

Fn my last notes mention was made
of the variation in yield of different
plants of the same variety grown under
similar conditions. This difference is
often so marked as to be apparent to
the most casual observer, but is more
likely to be noted the first year a variety
is grown. A newcomer is usually close-
ly watched and selection in propagation
may not have been wliat it might.

It is not my purpose to go into those
things which the introducer has or has
not done, but ought or ought not to have
done or left undone. I do, however,
Avish to advise the purchase of stock of
new varieties the first year sent out. By
this is not meant that every sort offered
should be tried, but if a grower has
reasons for adding to his list and after
due consideration a certain one is de-
cided upon, the sooner stock can be ob-
tained the sooner selection for propaga-
tion can begin.

It is but reasonable to expect, in the
efforts to fill orders for cuttings of a
variety for which the demand is heavy,
that the same care in selection cannot be

exercised as would be when a grower is
working up a stock for his own use. On
the other hand, at the price new intro-
ductions are usually sold, the buyer is
entitled at least to healthy, well-rooted
stock true to name. With this for a
foundation some varieties are known to
have been brought to a degree of ex-
cellence and productiveness never thought
possible by the originator.

Of course a variety must possess de-
cided merit, but close observation of the
behavior of each plant, and careful se-
lection of cuttings, have much to do with
improvement.

When harvesting the Christmas crop
it will be well to take note of those
plants which produce particularly good
blooms and when the rush is over ex-
amine thoroughly as to health and habit.

The practice of putting rooted cut-
tings into rich soil and growing in a
high temperature with the idea of pro-
ducing sufficient top to obtain a cut-
ting (so-called) from each, cannot be too
severely condemned. This is not selec-
tion, but destruction.

FEW BLOOMS.

as they should. The stems are weak and
they are not blooming freely. The earth

in the beds is four-fifths garden loam and
one-fifth rotted cow manure. Can you
tell me what to do to overcome these
troubles? J. T.

I will need more data before I can tell
you why your carnations are weak in
stem and not blooming much. If you
will answer the following questions I can
possibly help you: What varieties are
you growing? When were they planted?
Have they made much growth since you
planted them? Do the plants look
healthy and strong? What temperature
do you keep the house night and day?
Do you open the ventilators nearly every
day?

Your soil ought to be all right if the
soil was an average good garden poil and
if you mixed in some bone-meal before
planting, your plants should not be suf-
fering for want of food. Too high ^
temperature will cause the stems to come
weak and possibly you have erred along
that line, unless your varieties are nat-
urally weak stemmed. For most varie-
ties 50 to 52 degrees at night, 58 to 60
degrees on cloudy days and 65 to 75 on
sunny days will be found just about
fight. In fact, you can grow any variety
m this temperature if the rest of your
culture is right. A. F. J. Baur.

STABLE DRAINAGE,

I can get all the manure water from a
cow stable, which drains into a barrel.
How much will I dilute it for feeding
carnations and callas? And also, I have
saved wood-ashes from old bench lumber
and willow trees. Are thev worth saving
to be used on carnations?" Is it a good
thing to use a little air-slaked lime with
them or should thev be used separate?

I have used on my callas one-third of the
liquid out of this drainage barrel of
manure water, together with two-thirds
water, I have noticed on the roots that
they are slightly decayed, just as though
they had been over-watered. I thought
they could neither be over-watered nor
over-fed. They are in 6-inch pots.
What do you think is the cause? W.

i Unless your carnations really need feed-
! ing I would advise against giving them
; any of this liquid for another month.
However, you know better than I just
i; what shape your plants are in. Feeding
with liquid during mid-winter is a deli-
cate undertaking and unless you are well
experienced I would advise you to let it
alone, I do not mean to say that a
little judicious feeding will not do some
good, but unless you are able to note
minutely the eflfect produced on the
plants you are apt to overdo it and per-
haps ruin your crop before you are
aware of it. When you do start, about
February 1, if there is a fair amount of
: sunshine right along, I would advise
diluting it about ten to one and give a
good watering with this about every ten
; days or two weeks. By the middle of
March you can increase it to six to one
and apply once each week. This is of
course providing your plants are in good
condition to take the food.

Yes, callas can be over-watered and
over-fed. If the drainage is good they
will stand lots of water, and food in
proportion, but if you will see that the
soil is moist and not soggy your calla
blooms will be better. It does them no
harm to show a little on the dry side oc-
casionally, but of course it should not
happen too frequently. I would make it
about five to one for the callas and give

it to them once each week and water
with clear water between times. Always
see that the soil is not too dry before you
fjive an application. If necessary touch
up the dry ones with clear water first.
If applied when the soil is dry it is liable
to burn the roots and possibly that is
what happened to your plants. This
same rule will hold good with your car-
nations. A. F. J. Baur.

OVER-FED.

I send some blooms of Queen Louise
carnation. They are grown in solid beds,
a loamy soil containing one-third cow
manure well rotted and well mixed. The
stock was planted the last week in July
and all look healthy, with a good crop
on for Christmas, but the trouble with
the sample blooms I do not understand.
Once a week since October 15 I have
given them a top-dressing of bone meal
mixed with two parts soil, stirred once a
day to prevent heating. I have also
treated them twice with air-slaked lime
and once with grape dust. The moisture
of the soil has been as even as possible.
Night temperature 52 to 56 degrees. We
have Wolcott in one bed and Enchantress
in another, R. j. c.

I found some thrips in the blooms yo«
sent and no doubt these are partly the
cause of your trouble. You should lose
no time in getting after them. I have a
number of times lately advised inquirers
as to the use of the nicotine solutiong
and would suggest the same to you.

You are feeding your carnations more
than I would deem advisable, unless you
make the applications very light. A good
dose of bone will last two months as a
rule, and during the mid-winter months
it will last longer. Feeding during No-

The Weekly Florists' Review*

Decbmbeb 21, 1905.

vember, December and January should bo
very light and cautious. If you mixed
in a fair amount of bone at planting
time and spread on a mulch of manure
about the middle of September, very lit-
tle more food will be needed until late
in January or February, and even later
than that if the winter is unusually dark.
Do cut out the feeding for a time.

A sprinkling of air-slaked lime early in
January will do some good, as it tends
to keep the soil sweet and makes the plant
foods more available for the plants to
take up.

Enchantress does not like much feed-
ing, either, during the winter. It makes
the texture of the blooms soft and also
causes them to burst. A. F. J. Baur.

LATE CHRYSANTHEMUMS.

Will you please tell me the names of
the best late mums! I want them to
come in about Thanksgiving. Please

give name and color.

G. W.

A selection of late kinds as seen in the
New York market for Thanksgiving runs
about as follows: White, W. H. Chad-
wick, Merry Christmas and Jeanne
Nonin; yellow, Kieman, Yellow Chadwick
and Bonnaft'on; pink, W. S. Allen and
Maud Dean.

To get late flowers, plants should be
grown more particularly for that pur-
pose, rooting them in June, planting
in July, and growing along as cool as
possible and taking the terminal bud.
They are better grown in a separate
house from early and midseason kinds
because when the former are needing a
dryer atmosphere, the very late kinds are
still in growth and in need of syringing
and fumigating for black fly.

THE ROOSEVELT MUM.

The illustration on page 307 shows
a bloom of President Koosevelt, one of
Xathan Smith & Son's recently certifi-
cated chrysanthemums. This is a seed-
ling of Mrs. W. C. Egan, pink, crossed
with Mrs. George Mileham, rosy mauve.
Elmer Smith says that they consider it
their best introduction since 1898, when
they disseminated Merza. It is its
equal in size, of the same sturdy, short-
jointed growth and beautiful Japanese
incurved form. Its color is unique but
pleasing, being a white ground with light
shell-pink center and on the tips of each
petal, giving the entire bloom a light pink
appearance, and is especially attractive
under artificial light. Unlike Merza, it
is of the easiest culture and perfectly
double from all buds and under varied
culture. As a cut flower, either commer-
cial, exhibition, or as a pot plant it is
recommended by the introducers. This
year it was fully developed November 5
to 10 and crown buds taken August 30
to September 5 produce the best colored
blooms. This was the variety that won
the silver medal at Philadelphia this
year.

AMERICAN MUMS IN ENGLAND.

Nowadays there are but few of our
growers who know much about the Ameri-
can seedling chrysanthemums of nearly
twenty vears ago. says C. Harmon Payne
in the Gardeners' Chronicle. Gradually
they have ceased to be imported until

very few of them are left, but in a few
private collections, in the public parka
and in the hands of the French growers,
there are still some that remain.

These are some of the most effective
and useful for decorative purposes: WiK
liam Tricker, a dwarf growing, pretty,
bright rosy-pink Japanese, is much ap-
preciated and still retained in most of
the parks. We have also seen this season
.1. H. Bunchman, a bright golden yel-
low whicli reminds us of the Pitcher and
Manda collection that passed into the
hands of Mr. H. J. Jones, Hairy Wonder
being another of the set. Delaware, the

Alexander J. Gutttnan.

anemone-flowered variety, is American, as
is Mrs. Judge Benedict of the same sec-
tion. Mutual Friend, a big white Jap-
anese, has also been seen this season in
good form. Louis Boehmer, the hairy
novelty that followed Mrs. Alpheus
Hardy, came to us from the States, and
is still in the Battersea park collection.
Good Gracious, one of the most distinct
Japanese in cultivation, is another. Mrs.
E. G. Hill is an old variety, an early
bloomer, very tall, but a useful back row
plant for mixed groups. I have also

noticed Simplicity, a white Japanese.
The above are probably all the Ameri-
cans that now remain in cultivation here,
with the exception of a few others that
may have been past their best at the time
of my visits to the various Metropolitan
parks.

GUTTMAN ON FLOWER SHOWS.

[A paper by Alexander J. Guttman, read be-
fore the New York Florists' Club, December il,
1905.]

Wihen I returned from my trip through-
out the country a few weeks ago, I felt
that I should give the club the benefit of
some of my experience and with our
president's permission I have prepared
this paper. You cannot expect to hear
a paper covering every phase and every
little detail thoroughly, of the great
subject which I am going to read to you.
The subject I refer to is flower shows
throughout the country and our city. I
will do the best I can and I trust that
some good will come of it. I feel that
there is great room for improvement in
our profession, and tl^at flower shows
well patronized in this city of ours,
would greatly help everyone connected
with our business. Before going any
further I am sure that everyone will ad-
mit that the question before us, whether
a flower show would be a benefit to the
florists in this section of the country, or
whether it would not be worth the
trouble, is of very great importance. It
seems to me that it would surely be a
benefit, and for that reason, and also
taking it for granted that I voice the
sentiments of the majority of enterpris-
ing florists in this, the largest and great-
est center for our profession, I have de-
cided to speak of this matter.

It has been my privilege and pleasure
to attend, in the interest of Victory car-
nation, the majority of flower shows held
this season. I did not get to Boston and
Philadelphia because I could not be in
two places at the same time. In three
cities particularly, namely Chicago, Kan-
sas City and Indianapolis, I noticed the
great interest shown by the florists and
citizens of those respective cities in their
shows, and it certainly gave me great
pleasure and impressed me deeply, as I
am sure it would you. When I thought
of the poor attendance and the lack of
interest shown by the people of this great
city of ours I felt very sad. The attend-
ance at the shows heretofore mentioned
was so great that men had to be stationed
to guide the people and keep them mov-
ing in one direction so as to avoid crush-
ing. These shows were lield in the largest
buildings of their kind in this coun-
try, buildings that compare very favor-
ably with our famous Madison Square
Garden. I cannot refer to any great ex-
tent to the exhibits and the varieties of
plants on exhibition that I saw at these
different shows; in fact, I did not notice
anything special except some dandy red
geraniums three to four feet tall and about
three feet in circumference, which were
in full bloom. They looked very beau-
tiful to me and therefore I mention
them. Also the exhibits of the city parks
were very fine. However, you may rest
assured that I had both eyes on cut
flowers, especially roses, carnations and
mums. The roses were certainly very
good, better than those we had here at
that time. In carnations, they were cer-
tainly up to the mark and the same with
regard to mums. There were so many
exhibitors, too, that it really seemed to
me as if all growers were anxious to
show their product. As I was particu-

December 21, 1905.

larly interested in red carnations, I am
glad to say that we have quite proven to
the craft throughout the country that
Victory is the safest to invest in, and the
number of orders received for it thus
far is proof of its popularity.

But I am not here to blow my own
horn. I am here to tell you how 1 think
our fellow craftsmen throughout the
country were able to achieve such great
success in getting so many exhibitors, so
many workers, and also in succeeding so
well in interesting the public, which you
will all concede is an important factor
and absolutely necessary to make a show
a success and to make work a pleasure.
By the way, I must mention here that I
cannot tell you about all the shows,
for it would take too long, but as I hap-
pened to spend two days in Chicago, and
that being a large city, conditions can
be compared with ours here, I will tell
you principally what I learned in Chi-
cago. Although the same harmony existed
in all other cities among all the craft,
growers, retailers, wholesalers, nursery-
men, private gardeners, etc., it seemed to
me that their first thought was the ulti-
mate success of the show. The success
of the show was held above all personal
feeling which may arise through compe-
tition. In Chicago, such gentlemen as
Messrs. Vaughan, Hauswirth, Lange, As-
mus, Samuelson, Kanst, Wienhoeber,
Frey, Wittbold, Rudd, Wietor, Poehl-
mann, Deamud, McKellar, all the city
park superintendents and a great many
other men in every branch of the profes-
sion did not hesitate to give me inter-
views in the short time that I had while
there.

At Chicago, I noticed that the leading
retailers had booths, and no doubt more
of them would have been represented if
they could have secured space. These
booths were one of the leading attrac-
tions at the show, and each retailer had
a sign prominently placed near his ex-
hibit. The signs were uniform through-
out the hall. As the attendance was very
large and was made up of the best peo-
I)le in Chicago, it surely must have been
a valuable advertisement for the retail-
ers. I noticed that there were no pre-
miums given for retailers' booth ex-
hibits.

Owing to the fact that my real inter-
est in our profession was aroused only
a few years ago, I cannot, as you see, go
back very far into the past records and
achievements of the New York florists.
A good many of our members deserve
praise for their liberal exhibits at the
club meetings and at the different flower
shows held under various auspices. I
think that if the matter of being repre-
sented at our flower shows were to be put
up to the retailers of this city in the
proper way, they would see their advan-
tage and would co-operate with us to
enable us to have a grand show. The
reason I refer to this is because retailers
in New York in the past did not care to
take part in our flower shows. If I un-
derstand it right a certain large depart-
ment store offered a large amount of
money in premiums if the New York Flo-
rists' Club would endorse their exhibi-
tion, and, also, I understand it, the club
felt that in order to protect the retailers
they should refuse that offer, and did so.
I think that the retailers have no right
to expect us to refuse another such of-
fer, and I believe that they should come
to the front and help us. Surely it is
important that we have a flower show,
and when we put it up to the retailers

Chrysanthemum President Roosevelt.

and they refuse, then our conscience need
not trouble us if we accept department
store offers. I feel very positive that
there are enough enterprising florists
who, if they could be reasonably con-
vinced that the management would so
advertise the show that it would bring
out Father Knickerbocker and his whole
family, they would not hesitate a mo-
ment to co-operate with us. I may be
wrong in my ideas; however, I see no
harm in bringing this matter up now,
and I hope that all of you present feel
the same as I do when I say that dis-
cussion on the subject would do a lot
of good. If I am wrong, I am willing
to admit it and am always willing to
abide by the wishes of the majority. As
J said before, my interest has only been
aroused a short time, since I realized that
it is to my interest to try to master my
profession as I intend to stick to it.
1 want to ask whether an attempt has
ever been made to interest some of our
wealthy philanthropists in our cause to
secure a Horticultural hall; also why does
not the daily press help us, in flower
show times especially, for they do print
occasionally ridiculous stories connected
with our profession, such as $20,000 and
$30,000 for carnations and $750,000 for
a retail wholesale flower store. In
Chicago all the newspapers devoted col-
umns to flower show news, and Mr. Budd
tells me that some of the leading editors
are members of their society and also help
finance the society and give premiums.
They do all these things besides giving
plenty of space in their columns, and it
is so in other large cities. Why can 't we
accomplish the same? We have V)rilliant
men in our city in every line, in the

growing, the wholesale, the retail, among
the seedsmen, nurserymen, private gar-
deners, supply men, etc.

It seems to me that we in this city and
vicinity ought to be the leaders in all
things pertaining to horticulture. I
think that if the members will work in
harmony and give all an equal chance, we
could not fail to have a great flower
show. All we ask is a fair field and no
favors. It would soon put us in the lea<l,
where we ought to be. There is no doubt
that we have had much success in the
past years in this club, but with better
co-operation we could attain much greater
success in the future.

ALOYSIA CITRIODORA.

This charming old plant, generally
known as the scented verbena, makes a
grand subject for cultivating in tubs for
decorating the grounds in summer, pro-
viding room can be found to keep it safe
from frost during winter. The finest
plants I have ever seen are at Lockinge,
and they are perfect pyramids, from
fourteen to fifteen feet high, growing in
tubs two feet six inches square. These
must have been a grand sight during the
past summer, as nearly every point flow-
ered. The specimens are thirteen years
old. I also noticed several fine standards
with five-foot stems. Mr. Fyfe grows a
large number of plants in tubs for stand-
ing about the grounds in summer, the
charming position of Lockinge lending
itself admirably to this kind of garden-
ing.— Gardeners' Magazii.o.

BEFORE AND AFTER.

In certain lines of business the strong-
est testimonial is supposed to be the be-
fore and after illustration. During the
summer John Breitmeyer's Sons, Detroit,
have taken a very strong dose of incon-
venience, interruption, investment and re-
habilitation. The comparative result is
shown in the accompanying illustrations
and it promises a large and satisfying
permanent improvement in their business.
One picture shows the Breitmeyer corner
as it appeared on April 24, 1905, just
before the workmen began tearing down
the old store to give place tc the hand-
some eight-story steel building shown in
the other illustration, the photograph of
which was made on the afternoon of De-
cember 12 and shows the crowd which
had assembled in anticipatiob of the for-
mal public opening of the store. The
quarters in which the firm had spent the
summer are shown in the lower left-hand
corner of the picture.

Philip Breitmeyer has devoted the
larger part of the past year to planning
the new store. It is in every respect one
of the finest in America. The furnish-
ings are ii the most excellent taste and

absence of the employer, is much safer,
and much more economical, than low-
paid, irresponsible help.

Good help being so hard to obtain,
many employers are trying to solve the
problem by engaging a low class of
labor, ignorant, without a trade of any
kind, without intelligence and without
interest. Although this may possibly be
unavoidable, it is very detrimental to the
business interests of the employer. Cheap
labor is dear labor. Constant watching
is required to keep them working, and
the results are unsatisfactory. There is
also to be considered the fact that they
displace good labor. One good man
with a knowledge of his business is worth
four who are ignorant, and know no busi-
ness, and do not care to learn one. The
problem for the employer to solve is
whether it will not be more profitable for
him to engage good men who are satis-
factory in their work but demand fair
play, or to engage men who care noth-
ing about the work but want Saturday
night and the dollar.

The ideal employer is human, considers
the natural feelings and instincts of his
help, and does not seek to do them any
injustice. He does not try to impose

on them because he feels thsy may, to a
certain extent, be subject to his will,
but remembers that they are made of
flesh and blo^d like himself, and if they
possess the qualities of gentlemen, are
gentlemen. Possession of capital does
not entail gentility or superiority. There
are, in fact, many employees who are in
every way superior to their employers.
The employer has this in his own hands.
If he wishes to be superior, as every em-
ployer striving for respect and position
i should be, he should be superior in his
manners and conduct. He can, by treat-
ing his employees squarely, meeting their
just demands, and attending strictly to
business himself, gain their approbation
and confidence.

Before giving orders to the employees,
the employer would do well to thoroughly
consider what his plans are to be, and
when once he has given his orders should
not retract unless something very seri-
ous should prevent his carrying them
out. An employer who is fair in the
treatment of his men does much toward
commanding their respect, and if this is
coupled with good moral conduct toward
them, and in their presence, harmony is
facilitated.

Swearing and nagging simply irritate
the men and they will not tolerate such
if there is any chance of doing better.
When giving an order, give it in a quiet,
distinct voice. If misunderstood, it is
useless to fly into a rage and lose control
of oneself, which also means the inevi-
table loss of control over the men.
One who cannot master himself is surely
not fit to master others.

The employer should be a leader
among his men, and should understand
his business thoroughly. A thorough
knowledge of the business in hand is
essential to success.

It is necessary for the employer's in-
terests that all the work should be faith-
fully executed, but he would do well to
consider carefully before discharging a
man for any seeming negligence. In-
vestigate fully and give him a hearing.
It is a bad plan to recommend an em-
ployee to another employer if he has
not proved worthy but give him a high
character if he deserves it. Never try
to hold the workingman down, for he
also has ambitions.

every convenience is afforded for the
proper handling of a very large busi-
ness. It goes without saying that the
investment is a heavy one, but the public
interest in the enterprise is something
beyond the anticipations of its origina-
tors and a profitable increase in business
is already assured.

THE IDEAL EMPLOYER.

[An essay by Arthur F. Capers, Auburn, R. I.,
submitted In the S. A. V. convention contest for
the Beatty prizes.]

The ideal employer is one who con-
scientiously endeavors to do unto his
men as he would like them to do unto
him. The employer demands honesty,
diligence, faithfulness in the fulfilling
of the mutual contract, and promptness,
all of which are essential in an employee
and just as essential in an employer.

In order to make a good beginning it
is wisest for the employer to engage men
who are well recommended and with
some intelligence. He can then be sure
that he has the best material with which
to run his establishment. Good help
which can be trusted in the temporary

Some employers feel that they should
have some means of knowing how their
men work in their absence and often try
to come upon them unawares. This is
surely a bad practice, for if the men
feel that they are distrusted, they will
take advantage of his absence, while if
they know they are trusted they will
work for their own self-respect. An em-
ployer who knows his business is not
long finding out who are the drones and
who are the busy bees.

When the whistle blows at closing
time, the employees should be allowed to
leave, providing everything is in ship-
shape condition. The employer should
go over the place after quitting time to
make sure that all is as it should be.
<'The eye of the master will do more
work than both his hands,"

It sometimes happens that men in the
service of a company are injured while at
their work. If an employer is injured,
he still has his business, which keeps him
supplied with worldly necessities, but
when a workman is injured his income
ceases unless some means are invented of
helping him. It is the employers' duty
to assist those of their employees who
are injured in their service.

The question of pay is an all-absorb-
ing one. It is a fact that men in the
florists' business are underpaid. Many
years are consumed acquiring ?ome
knowledge of plant culture, and after
the expiration of those years the aver-
age florist is rewarded with less pay than
can be obtained scraping a hoe over
the streets of any town or city. It is
a mistake on the employer's part to wait
until his men ask for an increase in
wages, provided they merit an increase.
A good man will seldom ask but will show
his dissatisfaction by accepting a better
position elsewhere. Some encouragement
should be held out to the men by the
wideawake employer. ' ' A good pay-
master never wants workmen. ' '

Looking at the matter in retrospect, it
will be seen that close attention to the
laws of humanity and an intelligent se-
lection of labor play an important part.
Morals, leadership and general superin-
tendence on the part of the employer will
benefit the community in general and
himself. If the employer considers his
dealings with labor, his business will
gain from the tone of wholesomeness
thus imparted. It is for the interest
of the employer to engage a man who is
diligent, prompt and faithful, and it is
for the employee 's interest to work for
the one who pays him the highest wages.
Providing the one treats the other as
he would himself like to be treated, the
danger of disagreement is much lessened,
and harmony between employer and em-
ployee will be perpetual.

JOHN SCOTT.

John Scott, president-elect of the New
York Florists' Club, is a Scotchman,
born in 1868 at Newlanding, Midlothian,
and with the strong character and robust
health of his countrymen looks good for
a century. He began his horticultural
life when young and worked in Edin-
burgh, Ayrshire, Taymouth Castle and
Bosemont House, from which place he
came to Canada some fifteen years ago.

His first engagement in America was
at Hoosick Falls, N. Y., from which city
he moved to the estate of the Hon. Levi
P. Morton, where James Boyd was head
gardener. His next move" was to the

John Scott.

Dinsmore estate at Staatsburg, N. Y.,
wliere Thomas Emerson was head gar-
dener. Leaving here he accepted the
|»ositioii of superintendent of the Scholes
tjstablishmont on Keap street, Brooklyn,
where he soon was given an interest and
built up rapidly a reputation as a plants-
man, shipping his Boston ferns espe-
cially to every part of the country.
Dame Fortune was kind and his success
was constant. As a reward for the faith-
ful loyalty to Madame Nature she led
him to cast his eagle eye one day on a
sport from one of his Bostons that in-
tuition and common sense at once de-
<-hired "a find," and so it has proved to
be, for Scottii has made John immortal.
Now he has a big plant of 60,000 square
feet, counting the 25,000 going up in
1906 at FJatbush, a fine family and home
and as good a future as any young man
could desire,

Mr. Scott is a member of the F. &
A. M, and Clan McDonald, and as mod-
est and unassuming and popular a man
as ever occupied the president's chair.
He will do the office and himself credit,
and John Birnie's bagpipes will be the
official music of 1906. Mr. Scott is a
member of the S. A, F, and the Flat-
bush Bowling Club, and has added a
charming wife and two fine children to
his world's possessions since he came
to the city of churches, Birnie says he 's
a ' ' braw laddie, ' ' and Nugent promises
an abundance of ' ' good old Scotch ' ' at
the inauguration ceremonies on the even-
ing of January 8,

THE PRIVATE GARDENER.

"How can the private gardener ele-
vate his calling?" As this question was
brought up a short time ago at the
Gardeners' and Florists' Club of Balti-
more, and not answered, some of us have
l)een asked to give our views on the
subject. With your kind permission I
will freely give my opinion.

It appears to me that the question
is not an idle one, but one of import-
ance. It is praiseworthy in any man
to have sufficient ambition to try to
better his condition in life, and to aim
for the best and most practical knowl-
edge in his trade. In every branch of
industry the skilled workman, the man
who thoroughly understands his craft,
who can produce the best and finest
work, can command the highest pay.
Employers are quick to see and know
the worth of such men, and are not un-
willing to give them their dues. In
every walk cff life, a man should bring
to his calling industry, knowledge, intel-
ligence, conscientious work and high,
noble character.

My first question on this subject is:
' ' Who is the private gardener and what
position does he hold among his fellow
gardeners?" The private gardener is
the man who is hired by an estate-
owner to take charge of his place in a
manner satisfactory to his employer in
every detail. He is expected to be able
to answer any question about gardening,
to fill every order given him, to work
out .uiy plan or suggestion that mav

be given for beautifying the place; in
short, he is expected to do everything
asked for.

The position of a first-class private
gardener is first among those who till
the soil. Why? Because he is supposed
to have studied all branches of garden-
ing and to have experience in them,
since he is called upon by his employer
to do work in all the various branches.
He must necessarily know horticulture,
agriculture, viticulture, floriculture,
forestry, landscape gardening, vegetable
gardening, etc. He must also know
some botany, in order to be able to give
the proper names and class of all the
plants, flowers, trees, shrubs, etc., that
come under his care and keeping.

It is the private gardener who has the
best opportunity to show his scientific
knowledge and art in the culture of the
finest flowers, vegetables, etc.; who can
show fine landscape work, and who can
make the place in his charge a perfect
model of beauty.

A man who is thorough in all this
needs not bo elevated; he is by right
above all others. Every one will recog-
nize him at his proper worth as soon
as he gives proof of his knowledge,
art, good taste and conscientious work;
and no proprietor will hesitate to raise
his salary in order to keep on his place,
a man of whom he can justly be proud.

I must now speak of a class of men
who call themselves gardeners, but who

and he puts us all in the same category.
These men do us great injury, and we
ought to impress the employers with
the fact that all depends upon having
the right man in charge of their estates.
Let us each ask ourself : "To which
class do I belong?" The answer will
settle the question about improving the
state of gardeners. No man has cause
for complaint as to his station, who
thoroughly knows and understands his
business or trade, and who does his duty
therein.

Now a word to those who hire garden-
ers. I would advise any man who wants
a gardener to take a man who has
studied gardening in its various
branches, who has experience, who can
give proofs of good work done, and
who has a liking for this branch of in-
dustry. If he does this he will have
good results, his place will be improved,
beautified, and will afford him pleasure
as well as satisfaction.

SEAFORTHIA INFLORESCENCE.

The Illawarra palm, Ptychosperma
Cunninghamiana, is one of the well
known inhabitants of the palm house,
though possibly more readily recognized
when spoken of as Seaforthia elegans.
It is a native of Queensland and New
South "Wales, where it attains a height
of about sixty feet when fully grown,

possess little knowledge of gardening.
They have tried various trades, but
failed; they have never studied anything
about plants, have no experience in gar-
dening, but think if they cap cut a
lawn, or if they have helped a few
weeks in greenhouses, they know all,
and they give themselves out as garden-
ers. They work for small wages, hum-
bug their employers, have no success in
raising anything, perhaps spoil a lot of
things and thus the place is not im-
proved, but goes to ruin. Naturally
the employer is disgusted with such men.

the stem slender and smooth, but ringed
with the scars of former leaves.

The stem of this palm extends in a
sort of corky basin, through which a
great number of stout roots like ropes
connect the plant with the earth, and it
would seem that this singular arrange-
ment is simply another wise provision of
nature in the form of a sort of universal
joint, to allow the trunk of the tree to
swing with the force of the wind with-
out disturbing the roots.

The long, drooping flower spikes of
this ptychnsperma, with their many whip-

like branches, are often produced by
plants in cultivation, the flowers being
small and insignificant, but followed by
an abundant crop of seeds that remind
one somewhat of a small olive.

Several specimens of this palm in the
large conservatory in Fairmount park,
Philadelphia, have seeded freely for
some years past, and excite much inter-
est among the visitors.

Our illustration of the inflorescence of
this ptychosperma is prepared from a
photograph of a specimen flowering in
the private collection of Geo. W. Fifield,
Lowell, Mass., and for wnich we are in-
debted to Frank Sladen, the gardener in
charge of this establishment, who states
that it has produced three flowers in a
year, is thirty feet high and attract-
ing many visitors. W. H. Tapun.

CUCUMBERS.

What variety of cucumbers is best for
growing in the greenhouse for an early
spring crop? Our market seems to de-
mand a long green cucumber. Last
season I grew Improved WJiite Spine,
but they did not sell as well as longer
varieties. J. W. R.

Any of the English frame varieties
would suit your purpose, as they are all
well adapted for forcing. The best known
variety is Telegraph and probably it is
as reliable as any. Regarding the pol-
lination of this, see the Review of De-
cember 7, page 145. W. S. Croydon.

SEASONABLE HINTS.

Lettuce.

Apart from keeping up a succession of
young plants and keeping the benches
filled as vacancies occur, there will be
very little variation from the general
routine of work in the lettuce house,
only it is better to keep the soil on the
dry side through the dull, short days
and to keep the beds frequently stirred.
This stirring will obviate to a great ex-
tent the necessity of applying water so
often, especially where solid beds are
employed, and keep the plants in a
healthy condition.

Strict attention should also be paid to
the removal of any decayed or damped
leaves, which, when left hanging around,
are a fruitful source of fungous diseases.

A sowing of seed should be made now
to procure plants for setting in hotbeds
later on. The time when these are gen-
erally started varies a good deal with
latitude and also depends largely on

weather conditions, though generally
speaking the middle of February is
about the best time to start hotbeds. It
is better, however, to delay a week, or
even two, if the weather is very severe,
as with the thermometer around the zero
point, it would be a severe tax on the
hotbed and the heat would be apt to be
spent before the weather was warm
enough for the plants to do without the
assistance of artificial heat.

In pricking the plants over into flats
after they have attained sufficient size
for handling, it is well to bear in mind
that they may have to stand a week or
two longer than at first intended and
allow them plenty of room, so that they
will not become crowded and drawn
should it be necessary to hold them over
for a while.

Cauliflower.

The present is also a good time to sow
seeds of this for hotbed purposes and
the same remarks regarding space is ap-
plicable to them. A rather higher tem-
perature than that of the lettuce house
will be necessary to insure a good start
for the seed of these, as they are apt to
come slowly in a low temperature, espe-
cially if the seed is a little antiquated,
which it is sometimes apt to be either
wholly or in part. In any case a tem-
perature of from 50 to 55 degrees will
give it all the better chance. The Dwarf
Erfurt variety is a good one for frame
work, as it is more compact in growth
than Snowball, thus needing less head
room.

Cucumbers.

A good deal of watching and coaxing
is necessary with these during the dull-
est period of the season. Strong fire
heat combined with the difficulty often
experienced in admitting sufficient fresh
air is apt to cause thinness of foliage, so
that every opportunity must be watched
and all possible air jrdiciously admitted
on every favorable occasion.

The pollination of the flowers also
needs close watching, where this opera-
tion has to be done by hand, and every
opportunity taken advantage of during
the brightest part of the day, when
enough air is on the house to make the
pollen sufficiently dry. Insect pests are
also apt to be troublesome when strong
fire heat is employed and good judg-
ment must be used in the regulation of

atmospheric moisture, a certain amount
of which is necessary to keep the insects
down. But on the other hand a moisture-
laden atmosphere is productive of thin
foliage and soft growth, hence the neces-
sity of judicious regulation.

CUCUMBER GROWERS.

Although it is only a few years since
Benjamin Vickery, late foreman for W.
W. Rawson, at Arlington, built the first
cucumber house in East Mansfield,
Mass., there has been a great develop-
ment since that time. Mr. Vickery 's is
the largest plant, but in addition there
are six other growers close by, all of
whom have large up-to-date houses. The
other growers are Fred Dustin, Joseph
Dustin, W. A. Staples, A. Burt, John
Conrad and J. Geddes, with prospects of
one or two additions to the ranks in the
near future. The bulk of the produce is
shipped to New York. A good selection
of White Spine is grown.

FURNACE AND FLUE.

[Because of so many calls for copies, which
can no longer be supplied, the following query
and answer are reprinted from our Issue of
December 31, 1903.]

I want to heat a greenhouse 18x50
feet, even span, running east and west,
no glass in ends or sides. The side
walls are four feet high and the roof
is at an angle of about 35 degrees. A
night temperature of 50 degrees is nec-
essary when it is 10 degrees below zero
outdoors. I want to use a flue and
would like full directions for building
both furnace and flue.

I also want to heat an adjoining
greenhouse 10x20 feet, glass in one end,
roof at an angle of 35 degrees, even
span, side walls four feet high. Here a
night temperature of 60 degrees is need-
ed. I want to use hot water to heat
this small house. How can I arrange
pipes in the furnace in the larger
house to heat the small one? Also how
many and what size pipes will it take
to heat the house? E. W. H.

While the flue is not to be recom-
mended where other plans of heating
can be afforded, the house in question
can be heated by a flue and furnace
constructed as shown in the sketches.

Fig. I and II. Locate the furnace at
the west end of the house. Dig a pit
about four feet wide and two feet deep
extending at least five feet inside the
greenhouse and any convenient dis-
tance on the outside. Construct a
drain of tile on boards to carry off any
surface water which might get into the
pit. In Fig. I a plan of the furnace
and flue is given. The furnace extends
about nine inches outside the green-
house wall; has walls thirteen inches
thick, nine inches common arch brick
lined with fire brick.. For this build-
ing the furnace should be three feet
long by one foot eight inches wide in
the clear on the inside, which gives the
furnace five square feet of grate sur-
face. An ash pit eighteen inches deep,
counting from the top of the grate
bars, should be provided. The fire-box
should also be at least twelve inches
in height from grate surface to position
of the 114-inch pipes shown in Fig. II,
which should be connected at the front
of the furnace with return bends and
at the rear with cast-iron manifolds.
One pipe of each of the five pair should
be carried into a manifold to receive
the return water and one from each
pair carried a little farther back into
a manifold to receive the flow ])ipe
which is to heat the 10x20 house. The
flow had best be 2-inch pipe. At the
end of the manifold "T" on the re-
turns marked "exp." in Fig. II a
%-inch reducer should be placed in the
end of the manifold and into this screw
a street "L" which should carry a
%-inch pipe leading to the peak of the
greenhouse and into the bottom of an
expansion tank which should hold ten
or fifteen gallons. A second-hand steel
water tank is ideal for this purpose.
The 2-inch riser or flow pipe can be
carried from the heater directly under
the benches in the 10x20 house and
thereby a manifold be broken up into
four 114-iiich pipes running around the
house and again uniting in a manifold
at the opposite side of the house. The
cooled water would be returned by a
1^-inch pipe to the manifold at the
rear of the furnace marked (ret) in
Fig. II. The heating surface in the
furnace will be made up of ten 114-
inch pipes running from end to end of
the furnace as shown in Fig. II.

The flue should run entirely around

Plan for Furnace and Flue with Hot Water Coil in Fire Box.

•ueatlier eoiiditioiis, tliduyli generally
spoakiiig the middle of February is
about the best time to start hotbeds. It
is better, however, to dehiy a week, or
.veil two, if the weather is very severe,
as with the thermometer around the zero
point, it would be a severe tax on the
hotbed and the heat would be apt to be
spent before the weather was warm
• iiough for the plants to do without the
assistance of artificial heat.

In jtricking the plants over into flats
after they have attained sufficient size
for handling, it is well to bear in mind
tliat they may have to stand a week or
two longer than at first intended and
allow them plenty of room, so that they
will not become crouded and drawn
siiould it be necessary to hold them over
for a while.

Cauliflower.

The jircsent is also a good time to sow
seeds of this for hotbed purposes and
the same remarks regarding space is ap-
l>li(-abie lo them. A rather higher tem-
perature than that of the lettuce house
will 1)0 necessary to insure a good start
for the seed of these, as they are ai)t to
lome slowly in a low temperature, espe-
i-ially if the seed is a little antiquated,
which it is sometimes ajit to be either
\\ holly or in part. In any case a tem-
Jierature of from .lO to 55 degrees will
;;ive it all the better chance. The Dwarf
I'.rfurt variety is a good oiio lor fraiiic
^vdik, as it is moro compact in growth
than Snowball, thus no<>diiig Ic^s head

Cucumbers.

A good deal of watcliing and coaxing
is ii.M-cssary with these during tiie dull-
' si period of the season. Strong lire
heat .-ombined with the dilficulty often

the furnace. The throat of tlie flue
should be four inches wide and about
ten inches deep at the end near the
furnace and will be most convenient if
taken off at the side of the furnace,
as shown in Fig. I. For the first
thirty feet the flue should be made of
brick four inches and lined with fire
brick set on edge, thus making a 6-inch
side wall, which should be capped with
a layer of fire brick and jacketed with
common brick. From thirty feet on,
the flue may be made of ordinary 8-inch
terra cotta pipe, using elbows at the
corners and packing the joints thor-
oughly with the best cement. The
earth or supports for the flue should
make a uniform grade around the house
and have a rise of at least two feet in
the distance, which will be about 110
feet. A "T" joint of terra cotta
pipe can be placed on top of the fur-
nace at the proper height to receive
the end of the flue, and by extending
the perpendicular portion of the terra
cotta pipe the chimney can be made.

CATTLEYA LABIATA.

Our illustration shows a fine specimen
plant of the popular fall and early win-
ter blooming Cattleya labiata carrying
ten sheaths and forty-four flowers,
grown by J. T. Butterworth, South
Framingham, Mass., who of late years
has gathered together quite a large se-
lection of commercial orchids. In the
culture of cattleyas he has achieved strik-
ing success. Many of his sheaths of C.

RAFFIA.

A neat booklet published by the K. H.
Comey Co. contains some very interest-
ing matter, of which the following is
part:

A man never knows the possible extent
of the sale of any goods until he has
made a trial of them, and this is espe-
cially true of H novelty like raffia. Un-
less a dealer has carried raffia in stock,
he is unable to knoAV how many women
and children there are who are enthu-
siastic users of the enticing fibre.

Baffia, which is the outer skin of a
long-leaved palm found on the Island of
Madagascar, is strong and pliable, and
can be woven, crocheted, plaited, braided
or twisted into almost every conceivable
object. Artistic, useful, beautiful, this
fascinating work has received the stamp
of fashionable approval. Many novel,
beautiful and useful articles can be
made.

Indian basketry is in high favor at
the present time. In the past the art
of making baskets has been confined to
the Indians, and the very name "In-
dian ' ' baskets has been connected with
mystery, cunning art and high prices.
But now, since the introduction of raffia,
basket making has become very popular,
and anyone can, with a little practice, do
work which closely imitates the best In-
dian art. Amateur basket makers may
be counted by hundreds of thousands.
Books have been published recently on
weaving baskets, and all the * ' ladies '
magazines" have articles or depart-
ments on the subject. There are also
raftia basket-weaving classes in nearly

labiata carried six and in one or two
cases seven flowers each. The plants
are grown in pans and baskets in a
span-roofed house, being kept well to
the light. Fern fibre is used for compost.
Other varieties of cattleyas are equally
well grown. W. N. Craig.

I LIKE the Review very much and
probably shall take it as long as I am
in the business, for I should miss its
weekly visits were I to try to get along
without it. — Samuel Wheeler, Berlin,
Mass.

all the schools of applied design, and
many women in towns also teach the use
of raffia.

If you would talk with a dealer in
school supplies, you would be surprised
to find out the immense quantity of
raffia grass which is sold to public
schools. The total is enormous, run-
ning up in the tons. Baffia is used in
the manual training classes, and noth-
ing the children use gives them better
results or greater pleasure.

Raffia, on account of its wonderful
strength, is especially adapted for up-

holstery work, being used extensively in
the manufacture of hangings, embroidery
of designs on pillow tops and burlap.
It is also coming into use in furniture
industries, being interwoven with rattan
in the manufacture of light tables, chairs
and all styles of fancy and picturesque
light house furnishings.

The farmers realize that an article of
good appearance is already half sold.
The progressive farmer has, therefore,
done away with the common jute twine
with which he used to bunch his aspara-
gus, celery and other like products, and
has adopted instead raffia grass, which
does not cut into the bunch.

A skein of raffia is an every-day neces-
sity wherever floriculture or horticulture
are carried on. Raffia is the favorite
tying material with the plantsmen, for
several reasons. Not the least of these
is its comparative inexpensiveness, but
the greatest of all is the fact that it
neither stretches nor shrinks under the
influence of heat or moisture. Once
properly adjusted a tie of raffia does not
loosen, releasing that which it was in-
tended to hold; neither does it shrink
and cut the plant, perhaps to ruin it. It
is soft and pliable, and does not break
or ravel when folded or knotted. These
qualities bring raffia into general use for
many purposes in nurseries and green-
houses, where heat and moisture are al-
ways found.

Probably the greatest value of raffia,
and its principal use in horticulture, is
in grafting. For this work it is recom-
mended by leading men as the best ma-
terial, and has come to be almost uni-
versally employed. Robert Craig told the
Society of American Florists, in conven-
tion at Omaha, in 1896, that "raffia is
preferable, as string is apt to shrink and
cut into and injure the graft." In de-
scribing the process of rose grafting in
a recent article in the Florists' Review,
Alex. Montgomery, Jr., of Waban, said:
"Having stock and scion joined, grasp a
piece of raffia which has previously been
cut to the proper length; insert one end
between the forefinger and second finger.
Wind carefully and firmly, beginning al-
ways at the top, and not winding too
closely together, as close winding gives a
chance for moisture to collect beneath
the raffia and causes rotting of the
scion." Of the scion, mind you; the
raffia does not rot, shrink or slip. ' ' The
neatest way to make the tie is to pass
the free end through beneath the last
twist of the raffia and draw tight,"

A great many florists sell raffia to
their customers, and in seed stores it is
a regular item of stock. The manufac-
turers of florists ' requisites (baskets, pot
covers, hampers and the thousand and
one articles the florist employs to fur-
nish attractive settings for his plants
and flowers) use raffia in an infinitude
of wavs.

FERNS FOR MARKET.

In speaking of the London market a
writer in the Horticultural Advertiser
says:

"We get very little that is new in
ferns. Pteris cretica major remains one
of the most popular, but the variegated
P. Alexander is appreciated. Of crested
varieties, Wimsetti still remains the favor-
ite; in fact, it is almost the only crested
sort now seen. Tremula remains a favor-
ite, but I think the system of growing
several plants together does not add to
its beauty. Years ago, when they were
well grown from single plants they were

better. Polypodium aureum is now well
done but is too plentiful to command
high' prices. Asplenium nidus does not
find so much favor as it did a year or
two ago, yet even now there are a good
many sold. Asplenium biforme still re-
mains the most popular of the bulbiferum
section. Laxum pumilum which sold well
some years ago is now rarely seen, and
foeniculaceum is another which is not of-
ten seen now. Of nephrolepis, exaltata
still remains the most useful, but it is
only the plants which are propagated
from the off -sets, or divisions, that make
the best material. Kecently we have been
having a good many of the new crested
variety Westoni. This makes a well fur-
nislied plant, but the color is rather
somber and the spores being produced so
freely, gives it a dusty appearance as
soon as the spores begin to fill. The
beautiful American variety Piersoni, has
not yet quite taken the attention of flo-
rists, yet it is one of the handsomest
ferns we have, and as I have a plant which
has been in the house some months and
still looks well, this proves that it will
stand well. Adiantums vary but little,
if anything, they are not so much wanted
as formerly. Some good lomarias are
coming in but these are not much want-
ed. I think that most of those that are
sold are for country orders. The Japan-
ese fern balls have not been making such
good prices as formerly; the large impor-
tations have made them too common.
There is not such a good sale for small
ferns as formerly and supplies are over-
plentiful."

SHASTA DAISIES.

The accompanying illustration is
from a photograph taken August 25, at
the establishment of T. F. Larison, Le-
Eoy, Kan., and shows flowers of the
Shasta daisy produced during a hot,
dry season. Writing October 17 Mr.
Larison says : ' ' They have been bloom-
ing all season, and at the present are
full of bud and bloom. I know of no
white flower that is so good a summer
bloomer as this, or that will stand the
neglect. I do not know if my treat-
ment is common among the florists, but
it works well here. I divide the roots
up in the spring and cultivate until
June, at which time I give a good
mulching of well-rotted manure. The
work is then done for that season; it
only remains to cut flowers the season
through. Clumps that were not di-
vided only gave one good crop of
blooms."

BOSTON.

The Market

The usual shortening up in supplies
previous to Christmas was evident at the
first of this week. Prices are averaging
very good, an improvement over a year
figo. It looks as though a good deal of
pickled stock would be thrown on the
market at the end of the week. It would
pay growers to bring in a little more
stock at prevailing prices rather than
hold back everything to the closing day
of the Aveek, but the temptation of high-
cr prices is irresistible.

Roses have stiffened in price quite ma-
terially, best Beauties going up to $50.
Other varieties are also higher. The
Jea^^t advance is noted in Brides, the col-
ored varieties, as usual, having most
<^aJI. Carnations are becoming quite ag-
gressive, and it is expected will sell

higher than ever before at Christmas.
Fancies are bringing $6 to $8, such
sorts as Fiancee, Helen Goddard, Fenn,
Enchantress and good scarlets bringing
these prices. Prosperity, which is, how-
ever, only coming from a few growers,
makes $12. Whites are overabundant
and drag. Something of a glut of these
is likely and probably $3 per • hundred
is as much as many will bring. Violets
are selling at $1 to $1.50, but will be
higher at the end of the week. Some
very good poinsettias are arriving.
These bring $5 to $6 per dozen bracts.
Cypripedium insigne is abundant, but
cattleyas are not overplentiful, C. Perci-
valliana and a few C. triana; being seen.

Bulbous stock holds about the same
and never scores much of an advance at
the holidays. Lily of the valley sells
well. Callas and Easter lilies are bring-
ing an average of $2 per dozen. Sweet
peas continue quite plentiful. There is
a good call for asparagus, adiantum and
snnlax. In addition there is consider-
able business being done in laurel, box-
wood, holly, mistletoe and other green-
ery. The demand for these seems to be
better than ever.

There is a good variety of pot plants
on the market. Those most in evidence
are Lorraine begonias, poinsettias, ber-
ried plants in variety, primulas, cycla-
mens and azaleas. An unusually good
demand is noted for these. It is hoped
the seasonable winter weather now pre-
vailing may last over the holidays and
under such auspices business will break
all previous records.

Club Meeting.

As was to have been expected, the at-

tendance on December 19 when the
Gardeners' and Florists' Club held
ladies' night, was the largest in the
club's history and this in spite of the
fact that the near approach of Christ-
mas made it impossible for some to at-
tend. The exhibition table had a very
attractive lot of exhibits as usual, and
the membership roll was swelled by fur-
ther additions. The stereopticon lecture
on Japan by John K. M. L. Farquhar
was deeply interesting, especially the
views of the siege of Port Arthur in the
late Kusso-Japanese war.

The club quartet led by Frank B.
Cannell furnished some delightful selec-
tions. There also was an excellent la-
dies' banjo club. A reception commit-
tee of young men, of which Herbert E.
Tyler, of the Montrose Greenhouses,
was chairman, helped to make everyone
feel at home and at the close served the
refreshments.

During the evening the secretary gave
a report on the attendances during the
year as compared with 1904, in itself a
prosperous year. Last year the average
attendance at meetings was thirty-five
and total of new members elected forty-
six. During the present year the aver-
age attendance, including 'the December
meeting, has been eighty-six and the
number of new members 145; total mem-
bership is now 253. At the January 16
meeting the newly elected officers will be
installed. As this will just precede the
coming meeting of the American Carna-
tion Society thorp will be much Avork in
connection with that society to do. Pros-
pects for 1906 are excellent and a mem-
bership of 400 ere the close of the year
is predicted.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

EsCANABA, Mich. — C. Peterson & Sons
will have a cut of late chrysanthemums
for the holidays.

The cut flower market is quiet jire-
ceding the Christmas rush. Flowers
are arriving in moderate quantity, with
quite enough demand to dispose of them
as rapidly as they reach the city. Prices
have advanced slightly, carnations and
Beauties being in the lead. Great quan-
tities of poinsettias are being marketed
already. Holly is also much used in
decorations.

Flowering Plants.

It is estimated by good judges that
fully as many flowering plants will be
offered for the Christmas holidays as
were seen at Easter five or six year«
ago. The retail stores are using them
lavishly, to the exclusion, perhaps, of
the medium sizes of palms and ferns.
These flowering plants are used both
singly and in hampers. In the latter
they are combined with small foliage
plants.

Poinsettia stands first among the
Christmas blooming plants. Great quan-
tities of these showy scarlet bracts have
been forced this season, John Ziegen-
thaler, of Frankford, being perhaps the
hirgest grower of this plant. The Al-
burgers and the W^estcotts, of Laurel
Hill; Kobert Craig & Son, of W>st
Philadelphia, and several other growers
also have large quantities of this plant,
yet one week before Christmas tlie sup-
ply was nearly all engaged.

Begonia Gloire de Lorraine stands
next in point of popularity, though the
number of growers who forced it suc-
cessfully is rather limited. The large
size pans of this plant have been in
good demand. A novelty revived has
been the ball-shaped hanging baskets
formed of small plants of this begonia
inserted in moss. The new white be-
gonia, Turnford Hall, is hardly likely
to become popular, as though free bloom-
ing it is hardly cheerful enough in color
for Christmas.

Cyclamens are very fine this season,
probably a little better than ever be-
fore.

Azaleas in pink, white and rose are
plentiful and very pretty, though they
cannot be compared with the stock seen
later. Otaheite oranges full of fruit,
though not strictly flowering plants,
may be classed under that head. They
are exceedingly popular, but the supply
is limited. Jerusalem cherries can also
be had in small quantities, very nicely
berried. Holly, in large tubs, full of
lierries, and Aucuba Japonica, most
satisfactory of plants, are seen in the
larger collections. There are quite a
few primroses about and some geraniums
and other flowering plants in small quan-
tities.

Foliage Plants.

Dracaena terminalis, both single and
made up plants, beautifully colored, are
very popular, the demand being in ex-
cess of the supply. Crotons, of several
varieties, also both single and made up
plants, are well done and meeting with
fair demand. The ferns of the Boston
type are very fine and plentiful, the
supply being rather in excess of the
demand, which is probably just as well,
as these plants have usually been scarce
in January and February. N. Piersoni
is practically all sold, but the straight-
leaved varieties can be had in all sizes.
The decorative sizes of kentias have

sold exceptionally well, but the medium
sizes arc not in such active demand at
present.

Various Notes.

M. Eice & Co. had a large shipment
of Uncle Theodore heads and mats,
which arrived on Sunday on the Barce-
lona, over a week late on account of the
unusually severe storms at sea. By Mon-
day evening, however, they had all of
their out-of-town orders shipped by ex-
press. Their Christmas business has
been unusually heavy.

L. A. Tonner, of the A. L. Eandall
Co., Chicago, spent several days in town,
selecting goods for the opening of their
new florists' supply department.

The receiver's sale advertised for last
Monday by W. S. Maull at the Peacock
dahlia farm, Atco, N. J., has been in-
definitely postponed.

Jos. Beavis & Son, Limekiln pike,
near Chelten avenue, have their Liber-
ties in full crop for Christmas.

Paul J. Klingporn is no longer with
Dumont & Co.

Geo. E. Carpenter, of 60^^ street and
Girard avenue, is sending fine bouvar-
dia to W. J. Baker.

H. Bayersdorfer & Co. have three
steamers in this week with large con-
signments of Christmas goods. They
are having a tremendously busy time
getting out their orders.

Eobt. Scott & Son, Sharon Hill, have
been successful in getting very fine
crops of gardenias early this season.

W. A. Leonard, Lansdowne, Pa., has
his new house under roof just in time
before the snow.

Myers & Samtman, of Wyndmoor,
will probably have more Beauties than
any other grower this Christmas.

Mrs. Geo. H. Pieser, of Chicago, be-
lieves that Pandanus Veitchii is the only
house plant.

Mrs. S. I. Smith, of Secane, Pa., is
getting good results from her new vio-
let house. Luxonne, Princess of Wales,
and La France are her single varieties.

J. J. Habermehl 's Sons have had some
very handsome dinner and tea decora-
tions at the Bellevue-Stratford lately.
One tea in the red room was decorated
entirely with American Beauties. They
have a dinner of 400 covers on Friday
of this week.

Dr. Surface lectured on the San Jose
scale before the Pennsylvania Horticul-
tural Society last Tuesday evening.

Frank S. Jackson estimates the cut of
poinsettias from Thornhedge Green-
houses to be between 6,000 and 7,000.
The quality is very fine. S. S. Pennock
is distributing the flowers.

John Mclntyre has been visiting
among the Beauty growers lately. He
reports the crop as fair with quality
high. Mr. Mclntyre believes Philadel-
phia Beauties to be a little better than
those produced elsewhere.

E. Bernheimer is handling mistletoe.

Best wishes for a Merrie Christmas.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

Trade ^vas fair last week, but at the
beginuing of the present week there was
little doing. Receipts were light and
buyers calling for little material. It
■was the lull before the storm.

Every house in town reports an excep-
tional number of advance Christmas or-
ders booked. The heavy shipping day
will be Friday, but Saturday will see
much shipping and many telegraphic
orders are expected for Sunday ship-
ment. The city retailers are also plac-
ing liberal or(Jers and the wholesalers
feel that they are assured a fine Christ-
mas. Certainly all good stock will go
at quoted prices.

The past few days have brought a
change of sentiment as to supply. A
Meek ago everyone looked for adequate
quantities. Today the sentiment is that
supplies will be short all along the line.
Even Beauties are thought likely not to
meet the demand, and the Beauty will be
one of the most abundant items. First-
class Brides and Maids will be shorter
than anticipated and the demand for red
roses had several days ago caused most
^wholesalers to decline further orders.
There is some variation in opinion on
carnations. Most houses say they will
be shorter than appeared likely a week
:>go. but one or two houses report better
^upplies than were anticipated. It is
felt that little stock is in storage and
that fresh stock is assured.

There will be plenty of poinsettias and
such items as Paper Whites and valley,
ihe Hudson river district is looked to
tor violets, little local stock except sin-

gles being on the market. Grand Rapids
is not a factor. Orders for decorations
stimulate the green goods market. Sup-
plies are abundant.

An Even Break.

The other day A. Lange met one of
his retail customers buying in a whole-
sale store. It is reported to have so
aroused his ire that he told the customer
she had no business to be there, told the
wholesaler he must not sell outside the
trade, and announced his determination
of putting a stop once for all to whole-
salers selling to others than legitimate
tiorists; he says they shall not sell either
to friends or strangers. It is an ex-
ceedingly large contract. Commission
men to whom Mr. Lange has announced
his intentions have told him that they
will gladly refrain from selling at re-
tail when Mr. Lange ceases to obtain
his violets direct from the Hudson river
growers, his ferns from the Massachu-
setts shippers and his other supplies from
first hands wherever possible. Some inter-
esting "doings" are anticipated.

Club Meeting.

There was a very good attendance at
the Florists' Club December 14. W. N.
Rudd called to order and the first busi-
ness was installing his successor, P. J.
Hauswirth and his staff, L. H. Winterson
being the new secretary. Mr. Hauswirth
appointed E. F. Winterson as bowling
committee and J. C. Vaughan, Harry
Klunder and A. I. Simmons as entertain-
ment committee. Other appointments
were deferred. It was voted to have a
carnation show some time in January.
Several spoke of going to Boston to the

national carnation show. The trustees
were instructed to look for a new meet-
ing place, whore refreshments will be in
order. Several members were elected.

W. N. Rudd reported as to flower show
results. The gate receipts were exactly
$12,3:20.35. Other revenue brings the
total receipts to over $13,000. The ex-
penses are not yet totaled but will not
exceed $9,000.

Various Notes.

Among the week's visitors were Paul
and Henry Dailledouze, Flatbush, X. Y.
Each year at least one of the Daille-
(louze brothers visits the leading carna-
tion growers as far west as Chicago, and
they are always welcome guests.

P. J. Hauswirth ran down to Detroit
for the Breitmeyer opening. He arrived
too late for the trade inspection but just
in time to lend a hand at the formal
opening to the public. Mr. Hauswirth
says that the store is second to none in
the United States.

Tom Allen, on Winona street, is
pretty thoroughly disgusted with Beauty
growing. He has been exceptionally suc-
cessful with this flower, but the past
season the pest which has made so much
trouble for several growers in his section
has practically ruined his crop. He will
cut his plants down next week and make
a fresh start for a spring crop. Mr.
Allen is one of those who usually stick
by old friends, but he says he will drop
the Beauty.

One of the best looking crops of car-
nations in the neighborhood is that of
Carl Muno, at Rogers Park. It is Mr.
Muno 's first year in the business.

HilJ, of Eichmond, vpho as usual at this
season, has several things to say to the
growers.

George Eeinberg has a crop of very
fine poinsettias. He expects to cut 10,-
000 Beauties this week.

Hubert Hansen is sending a nice crop
of carnations to the Kennicott Bros. Co.
Crusader is especially good.

The exhibitors at the World's Fair
flower show have received the diplomas
representing their medal awards, just
thirteen months after the show.

C. M. Dickinson, of Hunt's, has been
on the sick list again this week.

The failure of the Chicago National
and associated banks has occupied much
attention this week. Harry Eowe was a
depositor but was not inconvenienced, as
another bank took over his balance
promptly. Bassett & Washburn have
been getting coal over the Southern In-
diana, financed by the Chicago National,
and have wondered what was doing, for
it was almost impossible to get ship-
ments. They think coal supplies will be
easier now.

D. F. Hawkes, at Wheaton, is having
very good success with Marie Louise
violets. It is his only crop under about
6,000 feet of glass and the flowers com-
pare very favorably with the best Hud-
son river product, having fragrance in
addition. Mr. Hawkes ships to the A.
L. Eandall Co.

Saturday will be the shortest day in
the year, as well as one of the very busi-
est.

Wm. K. Wood was married December
18 to Miss Catherine Macdonald, also
formerly of Boston.

L. A. Tonner, of the A. L. Eandall
Co., returned Monday from New York
and Philadelphia, after having bought
a large stock of florists' supplies.

Stollery Bros, have some very well
flowered azaleas for Christmas.

Vaughan & Sperry say that a week be-
fore Christmas they had as many orders
booked as the total of their Christmas
business a year ago.

N. C. Moore & Co. are still marketing
some nice chrysanthemums.

There was a meeting of the executive
committee of the Horticultural Society
yesterday afternoon to wind up flower
.show affairs.

Weiland & Risch say that the Christ-
mas call for Killarney is surprising even
themselves, and they are as enthusiastic
on this rose as one could well be.

Wietor Bros, had a red seedling carna-
tion which is a great Christmas flower.
Red Bradt is still a favorite with them.

John Degnan has withdrawn from his
connection with the E. F. Winterson Co.,
and, although no announcement has been
made, it is understood that the Chicago
Rose Co., of which he is secretary, will
shortly open a wholesale cut flower and
supply store.

C. A. Samuelson has a large decora-
tion at Bournique's for a Christmas
night affair. The necessity of putting
this up at the time Christmas deliveries
are being made will call for some active
hustling.

The Baby Rambler roses for Christ-
mas are many of them not as satisfac-

tory as they would be if not so fully in
bloom.

There is not much time to spare at
present to tell what happened the past
week. On the whole business was good
during the week. There were a great
many weddings and funerals, the latter
creating a considerable part of the
week's business. Choice stock was not
over-plentiful and wholesalers cleaned up
pretty well every day during the week.
The weather has been delightful, just to
the liking of the growers, clear and cold.

Roses have not been scarce, thanks to
the clear weather. Fancy long Beauties
are in big demand, but they are lim-
ited. Shorts are very plentiful. Carna-

lions, like roses, demand a good price for
fancy and special stock. In fact, every
grade of carnations is selling well and
generally cleaned up early each day in
all varieties. Violets have been very
plentiful, especially Californias, -which
were sold cheaply. These will go up to
$2 per hundred by the end of the week.
They will be in good supply for Christ-
mas. Bulbous stock will be plentiful, but
lilies are and will be scarce. Holly and
ground-pine are having a big call.

Monday the supply was below the aver-
age. No doubt the growers were holding
off for later in the week.

Qub Meeting.

The last regular meeting of the year
was held December 14, in the new meet-
uig hall, nineteen members being present,
ihe flower show committee made a
*"?u ^ report, showing that the expense
ot the show was $3,526.40 and the re-
ceipts $3,792.40. The latter includes the
subscriptions from guarantors, who re-

ceived back forty per cent of their sub-
scription. The guarantors' fund was
$865, making an actual loss of $419. The
committee was discharged with a vote of
thanks.

The committee on constitution and by-
laws reported that the incorporation
papers were ready to sign. W. H. Kruse
was elected to membership. The trustees
presented a list of discussions for the
year, two for each month. Swan Peter-
son, of Gibson City, 111., was present and
made a few remarks when called upon,
Mr. Peterson had on exhibition a vase of
his crimson seedling carnation, very fine,
much lighter than the famous Harlowar-
den. President Ammann also had a vase
of extra fine scarlet seedlings.

The following is the list of discus-
sions for the new year: Beginning with

QNCINNATL

The Market.

At the beginning of the week business
is only fair. There is neither demand
nor supply. What stock comes in, es-
pecially roses, has the earmarks of pick-
ling very plainly visible. It seems too
bad; but there does not seem to be any
remedy. Every year the growers send
in a lot of pickled stock, for which
they receive about half what they would
had they sent it when fresh. Of course
some stock has to be held back t'o meet
the holiday rush but there is a limit.
How fine it will be when that limit is
recognized.

We shall have a fair supply of stock
for Christmas. Roses will be most plen-
tiful and there ought to be some fine
stock. Beauties will be scarce and so
will other red varieties. Brides and
Maids will head the market. Carnations

There will be a fair supply of poin-

first-class. Other stock will be in usual
supply.

Various Notes.

R. D. Ruttle, of Covington, Ky., has
just finished building a workroom at the
rear of his store. This improvement
gives him much more space in his store
to display goods.

Our new city officials have not yet set-
tled on a man as park superintendent.
Several names are under consideration.
It is to be hoped that they will use good
judgment and pick a man who has the
necessary ability to handle our rapidly
expanding park system and to get the
most out of the new opportunities.

J. W. Remagen, of Lima, O., was a
visitor after an absence of about ten
years. He called at many of our green-
house establishments and expressed great
pleasure in the rapid strides our city is
taking toward the front.

Chas. Jones was taken sick last week,
though not seriously. He was confined to
his home for several days, but is about
again.

Business the past week has been rather
quiet. Everybody is getting ready for
Christmas. The retail stores are making
some fine displays in their show win-
dows, consisting of Christmas bells and
blooming plants, ferns and poinsettias,
Roses and carnations will be short, ow-
ing to off crop.

On a trip out to the southern part of
the city I visited Henry Fuehs, on Texas
street, near St. Michelas cemetery. Mr.
Fuchs was born in Vienna, and came to
America in 1889 and found his first em-
ployment at Nanz & Neuner's place,
where he worked until he embarked in
business for himself at the place men-
tioned. Here through hard work and at-
tention to his business he erected five
large greenhouses, containing 18,000
square feet of glass. Two houses are
planted to roses, one house to carnations,
such varieties as Joost, Crane, Enchant-
ress and Moonlight; the other two houses
being used for bedding plants for ceme-
tery work. Mr. Fuchs is an active mem-
ber of the Kentucky Society of Florists
and always ready to do his share. He is
32 years of age and married. He is not
only a good grower of cut flowers but
also an expert piano player.

Frank Gottwall's place, just across
from Henry Fuchs' has a plat of ground
32xl6.'i. where he erected two houses,
one 16x72, the other 14x72, which are
planted with carnations in fine condition.
Mr. Gottwall is a native of Austria and
came to America in 1891 and was em-
])loyed for many years in Cave Hill ceme-
tery.

Wm. Mann, who has been abroad for
over seven months, has returned home.
He took in the principal cities, such as
Berlin, London, Rome and lots of others.

ST. PAUL.

The Market.

Husiiiess lias been good all week. Stock
is (.-oining in nicely, not in abundance,
^'I't just a sufficient amount to keep us
fjuiet; very often a demand is made
for something v.e can't supply, but the
smooth salesman or saleslady can in-
variably get the customers to take some-
thing 'nhJch is in stock.

Various Notes.

We are glad to know that our growers
are fast getting on to the way of grow-
i"g good violets and the size of some of
the violets is really surprising. Carl
Haugen figures on bringing in not less
than 1.5,000 this week and some of them
are as large as small pansies.

E. F. Lemke is spending some of his
time hunting and from all reports he
never comes home empty-handed. L.
Veuzke looks after the business in good
shape, which relieves ^Fr. Lemke of con-
siderable care which the florist is bound
to have.

C. F. Haupt has some fine mums which
he held nicely until Christmas.

Otto Hiersekorn is steadily working
Avith his funeral designs and he no doubt
has a large number of them, just a suf-
ficient number to permit a trip to
Europe every few years.

Now that the social season is in full
blast, August Vogt finds himself kept
busy and trade improving nicelv.

The Eanaley Floral Co. 'is still
handling lots of stock and trade appar-
ently is good.

Chas. A'ogt miikes a specialty of holly
wreaths and he certainly is an artist in
making them. It might pay a few of
our boys to get a sample from Charlie

Samuel B. Benl has returned from
his coast trip for L. L. Alay & Co. and
is now lielping in their retail depart-
ment.

Christmas trees and holly are being
handled by all kinds of stores.

TELEPHONE ORDERS

are becoming a most important feature in all lines of trade.
^ A quarter of a million telephones in New York City
and vicinity opens up an extended field to the florist who
seeks telephone trade.

^ It is a high-class trade, too, for telephones are largely used
by those whose time is too valuable to be wasted in time-
wasting trips among the florists' shops.

The Market

The market for cut flowers was
steady last week. There were no
storms. The good ship had fine
weather and placid waters. The waves
were not even choppy. Monday's and
Saturday's prices were the same. The
cause, limited supplies and enough din-
ners and debutantes to absorb every-
thing that came except the violets.
These, even at their best, could not
get above the dollar mark, even for the
100 bunch specials, while immense
quantities with a temperature most
mild for the middle of December found
an outlet on the streets and at times,
when slightly passe, sold as low as 25
cents per hundred. The oldest veteran
in the cut flower market never saw
such a condition of things in the violet
department at this season of the year.
I venture to predict $1.50 as top for
Christmas. Fortunately pickled violets
are an impossibility. They "smell to
heaven," or the other place, and all
the cheap perfume those adepts of the
streets soak into them is of little use
after twenty-four hours.

Pity the roses wouldn 't put up some
such natural protest at being held over.
I hear the pickling process is in full
blast. Nothing the wholesalers can say
or do will prevent some of the growers
from killing the goose that lays the
golden egg. Every Christmas and
Easter, after careful resurrection and
chloroformed memory of its past, the
same old bird is killed again. They
say there will be enough pickled stuff
this Christmas to sour the wholesalers

and retailers for four months, and then
comes the Easter killing again. The
impossibility to stop these fellows pick-
ling is a proof of immortality. You
can't kill the practice.

Fortunately you can't get enough
orchids ahead to pickle them, so wide-
spread is becoming the demand and so
many of the big cities are forced to
do as society in New York dictates.
And carnations pickled enjoy their last
sleep and cannot be sold at all. It is
hard to say how high the grand reds
will go next Saturday; to 25 cents sure,
for they were worth 10 cents all last
week. And Kichmonds and Liberties;
well, you can guess how high they will
soar, for red is king for Christmas.

Mums are now a novelty. Just a
few stragglers come along in the wake
of the dead army and they can get
their own price if they are good and
healthy. There'll be a few for the
holidays, if anybody wants them.

Some grand rose stock came in last
week and the debutante flood carried
them off as fast as they arrived. Prices
for Al stock were entirely satisfactory
to grower and wholesaler. The only
complaint was insufficiency. Beauties
touched 60 cents quite often and some
even flirted with 75 cents, but these
were few and far between. One dollar
is predicted as top for Christmas, 25
cents for Maids and Brides and the
novelties, such as Kichmond and Kil-
larney, are expected to demonstrate
the power of suitability for the great
festival of Christendom and beat their
records.

The carnation will surely maintain
its enviable place this year. Never

was finer stock seen in the wholesale
New York market. Among the whites
we have never had anything to equal
Alma Ward.

The days begin to lengthen Thurs-
day and this is the usual time for busi-
ness to settle down for the winter sea-
son. The only fear now expressed in
the wholesale section is lack of supply.
The demand this year promises to be
the greatest ever known. We look for
the merriest and most satisfactory
Christinas business ever experienced in
New York.

Various Notes.

Van Praag is nicely settled in his
new store on Broadway, His artist has
a unique window decoration daily. The
scheme of $2 assorted boxes semi-
weekly has proved a big success. Some
days 100 of these are disposed of.
This is a plan any florist in the big
cities may very profitably consider.
Some of the florists put up $1 boxes,
but the margin after delivery makes
these inadvisable.

S. S, Pennock, of Philadelphia, made
his yearly missionary calls on Saturday.

C. W. Ward is expected back from
the Pacific coast for Christmas. He
has been at Detroit the past week.

Hicks & Crawbuck, in Brooklyn, had
a narrow escape from a disastrous fire
last Thursday morning at 2 o'clock.
None of the members of the firm was
notified until 6 a. m., at which time
the danger had passed and all the dam-
age possible had been done. The fire
started in the basement, immediately
beneath the big ice-box, which was
destroyed. The damage by smoke in
the supply department was heavy, but

HOUSE FOR A SIDE HILL.

What style of greenhouse would be
preferable to build at the base of a side
hill facing south, running east and west?
I have now on the same ground two even-
span houses ten feet wide, sash about
seven feet long, no water groove in them,
that will need to be torn down in the
spring. Can the sash bars be u?ed to ad-

vantage and what style of houses would
you suggest? Ayer.

The hill at the back, or north side,
of your house will be detrimental because
it will obstruct the light. You may
think, as sunlight comes from the south,
it will not be of consequence, but light,
so important in the winter months, comes
as much from the north as the south. I
do not think there is any plan that you
could adopt by using this bank at the
north that would be any advantage.
Therefore, it would be better to cut down
this bank, throwing the earth or gravel
to the south until you had a level surface
and keep away as far as possible from
the face of the cut. After many fads
rnd fancies in building, nearly all build-
ers as well as practical florists have come
to the conclusion that for general utility,
as well as expense of building and man-
agement, there is no house as good as the
simple equal span. As to width, circum-
stances will determine that, but there is
no doubt that a wide house is the most
economical in construction. Interior
space and heating in a house twenty-
eight feet wide, if equal span, are near
the ideal. W. S.

CLEVELAND.

The Market.

All kinds of cut flowers have been
scarce the past week, causing prices to
hold firm, and everything cleaned up
nicely. The exceptionally fine weather
has helped the Christmas cut to develop,
and the prospects are much brighter
than seemed to be possible last week.
Prices have risen to high water mark.

Business at the Cleveland Cut Flower
Co. has been good the past week, and
they report their supply sales as far
ahead of last year.

The retail stores report the demand
for cut flowers as being slow the past
week, but they are selling large quanti-
ties of decorative greens, wreaths and
bells. This is to be expected, as flowers
are the last thing to be remembered and
ordered.

Various Notes.

Mr. Coutemarsh, who ran the stand in
the New England lobby, has sold his
lease and case, and retired from the
business for the present.

The Collins & Harrison Co. has sold
out to Bramley & Mann, who will con-
tinue the business at 164 Euclid avenue.
These people are hustlers, and will surely
make a success of their venture.

Smith & Fetters have a beautiful show
window of poinsettias in pans, each con-
taining four and five plants with fine
flowers, and the pans decorated in red.

James Eadie had a fine display of
bells, wreaths and red flowers.

The Gasser Co. has the windows deco-
rated with all kinds of Christmas flowers
and red wreaths and bells. Bells, last

year and so far this season, are having
a wonderful sale in this city.

C. M. Wagner reports several large
funeral orders last week.

Tilton & Son, A. C. Kendel and Wm.
Brinker, seedsmen, are very busy hand-
ling green goods and holiday decora-
tions, and all of the fruit commission
men are handling large quantities of
very good holly. Ground pine seems to
be the only really scarce thing this sea-
son, and the few dealers who placed or-
ders early are now reaping the benefits at
$10 per ease.

A visit to James Eadie 's place in
East Cleveland found Mr. Tapper, the
manager, worrying about several houses
of roses that were not coming up to his
expectations. These plants are in solid
beds, which are built on the hard clay
which is found in this section of the
country, and it is impossible to get any
drainage; consequently all plants stand
still during the dark winter months, but
in the spring and summer they cut some
very fine blooms.

Several houses of Meteor are making
a fine growth and a house of Beauties
will produce a good cut for the holidays,
and a second house will come in just a
little later. These roses are all planted
on benches, an^ are far ahead of those
in the solid beds. Their many houses of
carnations are looking good, and they
are cutting heavily for Christmas, In
all they have twenty-five houses, all of
modern construction, built within the
past eighteen months, and heated by three
large boilers. All of the cut is handled
at retail from their Erie street store.

F. L». Evans, secretary of the Cleve-
land Cut Flower Co., has nearly recov-

ered from liis illness and expects to be
back about the first of the year.

NEV DIRECTOR AT KEW.

The many Kew men in America, par-
ticularly among the private gardeners,
will be interested in the announcement of
the resignation of Sir William Turner
Thiselton-Dyer of the post of director
of the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew.
He has held that appointment since 1885,
and for ten years before he was assist-
ant director. His successor is Lieutenant-
Colonel David Prain.

Montgomery's book on Grafted Roses
sent by the Review for 25 cents.

Brazil, Ind. — Several years ago A.
Dinkel found that he had more boiler
capacity than his glass area called for
and he made contracts for heating sev-
eral near-by stores. Now his plant heats
buildings for two blocks around and he
is putting in another large boiler.

SPIRAEA GLADSTONE.

How must I treat Spiraea Gladstone to
get the plants in bloom for Easter? I
have them in S-inch pots under the
btiich. J. B. W.

In the files of the Eeview for Decem-
ber and January you will find references
to the spiraea. Briefly, once more, when
yon unpack the roots, if very- dry dip
them in a pail of water, then place in
boxes with a little earth betAveen the
roots and an inch or two over the crowns.
Put the boxes anywhere convenient to
bring in. Like all deciduous shrubs and
roots and bulbs that we force, the nearer
we approach their natural season of
flowering the less time or heat is re-
quired. We used to start the old Spiraea
Japonica as early as New Year's and it
was a long time in starting. Nowadays
we find the end of January time enough.
Gladstone takes no longer to force into
flower than Japonica. Start in a tem-
perature of 50 degrees at night.

There is nothing more to be said ex-
cept keep tobacco fumes away from them
or the young tender foliage will shrivel
up and for the last three weeks before
selling place each pot in a saucer in
which keep a small quantity of liquid
m.'inure. The pots are so dreadfully
crowded with hungry roots you can
scarcely give them water enough in the
ordinary way, but if given water to ab-
sorb constantly the difference in their
appearance will be most marked. I
notice you have your plants already
potted in 8-inch pots. That is an un-
usual size, not to grow them well, but to
sell them in. Keep them under the
bench until they begin to make leaves.
Then get them up on a light bench. As
you have started so early you may need
little forcing, but the progress of the
plant will easily guide you in that.

Seed Trade News.

AMERICAN SEED TRADE ASSOCIATION.

Pres., W. H. Grenell, Sa«rlnaw, W. S., Mien.;
First Vlce-Pres., L. L. May, St. Paul; Sec'y and
Treas., C. E. Kendel, Cleveland. The 24th annual
meeting will be held at San Jose, Cal., June, 1906.

RoELKER & Sons had 400 bags of
sugar beet seed on the last boat from
Hamburg.

Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, have
installed a Brown bag filling machine to
assist in putting up their packages of
seed.

It may be mentioned that the avail-
able supply of good strains of the Globe
varieties of onions are still far below
the demand.

The California growers are returning
home in the best of spirits. All of them
report a good trade. They feel that
there may still be a little picking left
for the competitors who are traveling on
a later schedule, but they all seem to
be well booked up on the important
varieties.

J. M. Thorbukx & Co., New York, have
secured a new location at 33 Barclay
street. The removal is made necessary
by the Pennsylvania railroad improve-
ments, but will result in giving the seed
firm much better facilities. They will oc-
cupy the entire building. Next door are
Suzuki & lida and August Roelker &
Sons.

Chicago. — The market gardeners are
ordering their seeds unusually early this
year. The rule has been heretofore that
few orders have been placed before
January. The business booked during
the current month by the houses that
make a specialty of the gardeners' trade
indicate that 1906 will be a great year
in this department of the seed business.

Visited Chicago: S. F, Willard, of
Comstock, Ferre & Co., Wethersfield,
Conn.; W. J. Fosgate, of Santa Clara,
Cal., returning home from his annual
eastern trip; W. H. Grenell, returning
from the northwest; A. A. Berry, of A.
A. Berry Seed Co., Clarinda. la.; Mr.
Brown, of the Brown Bag Filling Ma-
chine Co. ; T. F. Landram, of C. C. Morse
& Co., San Francisco, Cal., returning
from the east.

Some of the field seed growers are
making a strong bid for market garden
trade. They argue that the city seeds-
man is unreliable because he eats pie
^vith a fork and shaves before he at-
tends a banquet. They forget, however,
to explain that in addition to these fail-
ings the city seedsman thinks that kohl-
rabi should be cooked before it is eaten
and that field corn is not the best sub-
stitute for cauliflower seed.

AuTUMX seeding throughout Europe is
practically finished. Generally speaking,
adverse weather conditions "throughout
northwestern and over large areas of cen-
tral Europe have retarded sowing opera-
tions, and reports of reduced acreage
and expressions of fear that the crops
may not stand the winter well are com-
mon. In the southern and eastern parts
of the continent, on the coutrarv. sow-
ings were generally effected under good
conditions, and germination has been
satisfnctorv.

NEW SWEET PEAS

•^

EVELYN BYATT

A GORGEOUS
NOVELTY

I

I

The most gorgeous colored Sweet Pea yet Introduced. It mav be termed a self Oorffeous,
havintc a rich oranfte salmon standard, and falls or wings still a trifle deeper color, giving a
rich, fiery orange or deep sunset color to the whole flower, very striking and unique. It has
caused quite a sensation wherever shown during thepat.t year.

PHYLLIS UNWIN.iio^'E^rv

Color a deep rosy carmine self, the same form as GLADYS UNWIX, with the prettily waved
and bold standard of that variety, but a Uttle larger, producing 3 to 4 flowers on a stem. It
is quite sunproof and perfectly fixed. The stems are long and stout, and It mav be described
as A GIANT IN SVSBY WAT.

Each of above novelties, $14.60 per 100 packets;
$1.76 per doz. (Retail, 86 cents).

GLADYS UNWIN

LAST YEARS'
NOVELTY

I

I

This flneat of all Fink Sweet Peas we Introdnoed last season. It is a striking'

and sterling improvement, quite fixed and dibtlnct, and a

great acquisition for Cut Blooms.

Or>ADY8 UNWIN has a very large and bold flower, not hooded, but with a very striking
upright crinkled or wavy standard, and broad wings. Color, a pale rosy pink A strik-
ing feature is that about 75 per cent of the long flower stems are with tour blooms, which
is a most unusual thing in Sweet Peas. It was first raised four years ago, viz., in 1901, and
has kept perfectly true and fixed in character each year since and we have no hesitation
in saying it is a bona-flde departure in pinks. Kor market growers especially it cannot be
surpassed, and is just the lovely pink color which is so much in demand. 94.60 per pound.

SEED DISTRIBUTION.

The Crop Eeporter for December, pub-
lished by the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture, says:

The distribution of packages of vegetable
seed which have been allotted to correspond-
ents of this bureau will begin within a few
weeks in the following states: Mississippi,
Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, North Carolina,
South Carolina, California, Arizona, New
Mexico, Texas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia
and Oregon. Envelopes of seed and blank
franks will be sent in bulk to state statistical
agents and county correspondents, who will ad-
dress and distribute them to their aids and
assistants. Distribution to states farther north
will be made later. Individual requests of cor-
respondents will be filled as far as possible from
the limited allotment to this bureau.

STORING ONION SETS.

I wish you would print a brief descrip-
tion of the way onion sets are stored in
large quantities by the growers at Chi-
cago. We wish a successful New Year
to the Kevikw, which we very much ap-
preciate for its seed reports.

N. D. B.

The storing of onion sets depends a
good deal upon the quantity in question.
At the large centers a specially con-
structed warehouse is indispensable. The
old-fashioned way of spreading the sets
thinly on boards has been done away with
and the crate that is made with the ends
one inch higher than the sides has taken
its place. These crates are four feet
long by three feet wide and will hold
two bushels of properly cured sets.
These crates can be piled up one upon
the other to any height desired, and the
inch of air space given by the end being
higher than the sides is sufficient. In
the warehouse the ends may be piled
touching each other and the rows so made
can be the full length of the warehouse.
A two-foot space, or better yet, a three-
foot space, should be left between the
rows and aisles of six feet left length-
wise and crosswise in the middle of the
warehouse to facilitate handling. A
frost-proof housee is necessary, not be-
cause frost will spoil the sets," but be-
cause a set that contains frost cannot be
handled and shipped out satisfactorily.
Where sets are to be taken out and
shipped during cold weather, a heating
plant even in what is- termed a frost-
proof house is necessary. If the con-
tents of the house can remain untouched
until warm spring weather no heat will
be necessary. Ventilation is the most
important thing and only experience will
teach it.

improve the quality of agricultural seeds.
Samples submitted by farmers and others

F. BuRFiTT, Chicopee Falls, Mass.

Des Moines, Ia. — Fire, which origi-
nated December 15 in the basement un-
der Lozier's flower store, completely de-
stroyed the Lozier establishment and in-
flicted a total loss of $150,000 upon the
owners and other occupants of the build-
ing.

GLEN COVE, N. Y.

The Nassau County Horticultural So-
ciety held its monthly meeting at the
Glen Cove Greenhouses December (5. Thn
attendance was large, with President
Harrison occupying the chair. The
membership roll continues to enlarge,
three being elected at this meeting. Jas.
Scott and W. Ross, of the F. R. Pier-
son Co., Tarrytown, were jiresent. They
exhibited a vase each of two sports of
Enchantress carnation, also a pan of ele-
gantispima fern. The carnation sports
attracted much attention and were high-
ly commended on. One was pure white
and the other variegated. Mhich has been
named jNHss Helen Gould. This firm has
donated $10 as a prize to be competed
for at the next fall exhibition for an
exhibit of Glenview tlirysanthemums.

With this meeting the society closes
its year. It has been its first, and to its
members it should ever be a memorable
one, as the societj' has proved itself to
be an organ for much good among its
members, binding all in mutual good
will, so that it launches forth upon an-
other year's existence with greater energy
and brighter prospects.

The election of office bearers took
place. All the old ones were re-elected:
T. Harrison, president; James Hollo-
way, vice-president ; Alex ^[ackenzie, sec-
retary; Ernest Brown, treasurer; John
F. Jolmston, corresponding secretarv.

J. F. J.

Washington, Pa. — Joseph H. Seaman
& Co. report a very fine outlook for
Christmas trade.

Aurora, III. — J. M. Smely handles
gold fish as a side line and had noticed
that they disappeared with remarkable
regularity, but without atfecting the
day's receipts. He therefore set a Avatch
and found that the greenhouse cat was
an expert fisherman.

BUFFALO.

Current G>niment.

Dull, cloudy, mild weather is the pre-
vailing variety. This may save wrap-
ping and expense of deliveries, yet is
not so good for business as the snows
that we associate with Santa Claus'
whiskers or getting home the Yule log.

Buffalo is well supplied with attractive
plants for Christmas trade. W. J.
Palmer is strong on azaleas, lilies, ber-
ried plants. S, A, Anderson, at his Liu-
wood Greenhouses, has a very fine lot of
poinsettias, Lorraine, cyclamen, oranges
and other desirable kinds. His begonias
in all sizes are up to the Petersonian
quality. W. Belsey has a fine lot of
poinsettias, but complains of their alti-
tude, and he being slightly below the
average in stature it compels him to use
a stepladder when measuring the width
of the bracts.

C. F. Christenson is long on lilies and
they will be all wanted. Chris seems to
have the faculty of getting his carna-
tions to bloom when they are at the
highest price. He is now picking 600 a
day of fine Enchantress, Lawson and
the Queen from two houses 20x125.

Almost everybody has something use-
ful and those without greenhouses will
be well stipplied with the products of the
numerous suburban growers.

The holly that we have seen is of in-
different quality and ground-pine is
scarce. It seems the green business,
which a few years ago took up much of
our time, labor and worry, is slowly but
surely slipping away from the florists
and nothing to regret for all there was
"1 it. It took up too much valuable time.
Selling Enchantress at $2 per dozen or
Bridesmaid at $3, especially if they arc
your own product, is a very much 'more
edifying and elevating business.

We have heard slight croaking that
this IS to be a dull Christmas. Up to
date all signs are quite to the contrary.
JN early all classes are feeling good and
generous, and the beautiful and commend-
able practice of remembering friends was
never more general and widespread than

at the present moment. How fortunate
that our beautiful calling brings uS so
closely in touch with these generous im-
pulses. There are many instances where
a barrel of flour, a roast of beef or a
15-pound "Gobble Jock" will be more
appreciated than a pretty plant, and we
hope that all in need will be remem-
bered, yet the great majority of Christ-
mas gifts are from people of refined
taste to people who relish the beautiful
and are in need of it more than the
necessities. The sage of East Aurora,
the bright Elbert Hubbard, says the only
present for a young man to send to his
fiancee is a beautiful book or flowers.
Of course, Frau Albertus would com-
meml the book because he is the maker

and seller of almost matchless books, vet
it would not be diflScult to prove that
the book, however adorned, would not
create the gladness of a box of flowers
or pretty growing plant. Books are the
solace, comfort and enjoyment of old
age, so barring that babyish thing which
goes under the genric name of candy,
we must fall back with satisfaction to
the plant or sweet bunch of flowers.
From announcements in the papers many
festivities are coming off among the well-
to-do, and we look for a merry time and
good time for the florists, and to those
who are patient enough to read these
rambling notes I wish heartily every en-

KANSAS CITY.

The Market.

The market was quieter the past week.
The supply of stock seems to be none
too plentiful and prices are steadily ad-
vancing as Christmas approaches. The
unusually mild weather that we have
had for the last week has had a depress-
ing influence on trade and a drop in
the temperature would undoubtedly have
a beneficial effect on the Christmas busi-
ness. The wholesalers are receiving
many out-of-town orders, and this branch
of the business is lively.

Various Notes.

A visit to the Alpha Floral Co. found
that establishment a regular bee hive
of industry, preparing for the rush of
Christmas trade. They have rented a
large double store adjoining their main
store on Walnut street to handle the
extra business, and a large force of
girls is employed here making up Christ-
mas material. This firm has a Jiandsome
display and if appearances are any indi-
cation the Alpha Floral Co. will do its
share of the business.

There are no idlers at the Shaeffer
Floral Co. store this week. Mr. Bastian,
the popular manager of the wholesale
department, is having his hands full,
filling orders and overseeing a large
force of lively young women at work
making up holly and Christmas green.
The retail store is also doing a lively
trade and Mr. Shaeffer is looking forward
to a' big holiday business. The retail
store is now in charge of C. A. Klunder,
formerly with Klunder in Chicago.

The Wm. L. Eock Flower Co. has one
of the most handsomely decorated stores.
Mr. Rock is an artist in this line and
his store this week is certainly a tribute
to his ability as a decorator.

Samuel Murray's store is, as usual,
up-to-date and his Christmas display is
second to none. Mr. Murray has a repu-
tation for keeping only the highest grade
in everything and his store will be one
of the popular places for holiday buying.

We found Lawrence Schwager very
busy preparing for Christmas. He had a
good business last week and expects to do
his share this week.

Mrs. James Hayes and daughter, Mrs.

Benton L. Holloway, of Topeka, were
visitors here the latter part of the week.
Mrs. Hayes reports business as being
very satisfactory the past season an<l
has bright prospects for the future.

Mrs. J. E. Lord was another Topeka
visitor. Mrs. Lord had a very success-
ful opening of her new store. She is
doing a nice business.

Hiram Hulse, one of the oldest flo-
rists in Topeka, will retire from the busi-
ness in the spring and will go on to his
farm in Jewell county, Kansas, where
he will engage in fruit raising. The
retirement of Mr. Hulse will be a cause
for regret to his many friends.

E. H. Smith, of Fort Scott, was also
a visitor last week. Kay-See.

SEATTLE, WASH.

Qub Meeting.

Election of officers for the coming year
was the order of business at the meet-
ing of the Seattle Florists' Association,
December 5. Joseph Chalmers was
re-elected president, as also was J. W.
Thompson, our genial superintendent of
parks, to the office of vice-president.
Julius Anthon was elected treasurer and
A. Balmer was re-elected secretary.

Now that the flower show has been
successfully disposed of, the executive
committee is down to business and will
have the list of essays and papers put
in order to be read at the coming bi-
monthly meetings. The pleasing feature
of this is that the subjects assigned to
the different members are accepted with-
out any fuss and everyone does his
utmost to make it pleasant and instruc-
tive. The club membership is now over
forty and the finances are in a flourish-
ing condition.

State of Trade.

Thanksgiving trade was up to the
usual good standard. The best mums
brought $6 per dozen, ranging down to
$2 for ordinary. Carnations were scarce
and roses very scarce, Richmond bring-

ing $5 per dozen. The growers here are
gradually beginning to find out the ways
and means of having good roses all win-
ter. The present season has been very
favorable. So far the rainfall is far
below the average and we are getting a
glimpse of the sun occasionally. The
fogs, though, have been thick and heavy,
mornings and evenings, with white frosts.
The Christmas outlook points to a
scarcity in all lines and there is "hur-
rying to and fro" among the retailers to
get stock engaged ahead of time. Holly
will retail at 75 cent^and $1 per pound;
of course not Delaware holly, but the
holly that is grown mostly in Victoria,
B. C, the glossy, clean stuff, berried to
perfection and fresh cut a few days be-
fore Christmas. No lycopodium is used
here, wreathing being made from the
native cedar, which lasts well and
answers the purpose.

Various Notes.

The Pacific Seed and Floral Co. is
again in business at 1332 Second ave-
nue. After New Year's they will move
one block lower down, having sold their
lease of their present store for the com-
fortable sum of $1,200.

Our Frisco friends will not be sur-
prised to know that the Japanese have
made a start in Seattle. They have
rented a place at Green Lake, and are
preparing to go into the business ex-
tensively.

Bishop Burdett, of the Burdett Co., is
in the hospital with typhoid fever.

The Bon Marche department store has
opened a flower and plant department
under the management of Walter Retzer.

E. Gill, the veteran nurseryman and
rose grower of West Berkeley, Cal., vis-
ited the trade recently. He was return-
ing home after a tour of the world, com-
ing here via Australia and New Zealand.

great rapidity at good prices. The rates
have not been advanced to any extent as
yet and probabilities are that there will
not be anything extraordinary in that
line. Some poinsettias have been re-
ceived from the south and many more are
expected in the next few days. Valley
and hyacinths are offered in fair quanti-
ties. Violets, although the weather is
not of the best, are being brought into
town in sufficient numbers to fill require-
ments. Narcissi and daffodils are scarce.
Other kinds of stock will about be up to
the standard of former years. Greens of
all kinds and smilax are being used lav-
ishly around town in decorations and it
is safe to predict business will be up to
expectations next week.

Various Notes.

E. H. Bust, of South Pasadena, and F.
H. Howard, of Los Angeles, are in town.

J. G. Lewis, for many years with
Gill's Floral Depot, Oakland, was united
in marriage with Miss Mary Piexotto,
of Haywards, on December 16.

The city of Oakland has passed an
ordinance taxing florists $5 per quarter.

E. J. Wickson, of Berkeley, has de-
parted to southern California in the in-
terest of the horticultural department
of the State University.

E. Hoffman, of San Jose, is in townw
Mr. Hoffman will shortly begin planting
the new plaza for the town of Palo Alto.

Sievers & Boland are in line with a
fine stock of poinsettias for the holiday
trade.

Several local dealers have imported
large specimen kentias from the Storrs
& Harrison Co., of Painesville, O. The
stock arrived in excellent condition.

R. D. Thomas has gone on a six weeks '
eastern trip. He will visit Chicago and
New York. G.

PROPAGATING ROSES.

The season for making rose cuttings
is here and, although the weather con-
tinues dry, there is no trouble to be ap-
prehended if the stems are kept heeled
in the ground. The stock plants are
about as dormant at the present time as
it is possible for them to be and, although
it will be impossible to plant cuttings
in the open until we have sufficient natu-
ral moisture, it is a good plan to have
them made, tied in bundles of 100 each
and partially covered in sand under a
lattice frame. By so doing there is a
great saving of time in planting. Some
growers do not make cuttings until the
ground has been sufficiently moistened to
properly plant, and in many cases by this
time the stock plants have commenced to
make a new growth of wood and their
work is in vain.

Cuttings that are made at this time
can be kept in sand easily for two
months, if they are not too much crowd-
ed, and will callous very evenly if the
wood is sufficiently ripe. This also is
a great point in their favor, as it is
much easier to start a growth from a
well heeled cutting than from one that
lias just been removed from a stock
plant.

Regarding the growing of the various
varieties of roses on their own roots, I
might say that in the largest rose nurs-
eries, only the stronger growing sorts are
uow handled in this manner. Some hy-
Dna teas, climbers and teas grow so
easily that it is much less trouble to
get a plant this way than any other, but
lor the weaker-growing roses, and they
turmsh by far the largest percentage of

the popular kinds, there is no comparison
in the differences between the two meth-
ods.

It is a very difficult proposition, even
under the most favorable circumstances,
to successfully root over a small portion
of the cuttings planted out and with the
poorer growing kinds a second or third
size plant is usually produced at the end
of the first year. The same varieties
budded will make a stem two or three
feet high in the same length of time,
with only the extra trouble of the bud-
ding in the summer time.

Roses like heavy soil. I think it is
safe to say this rule applies to all va-
rieties. The drainage should be good
and the ground kept well worked. This
is an important factor in the growing
of well ripened stock that will be in good
condition for transplanting the first sea-
son. There is nothing as desirable for
the planter as to handle stock that is
grown entirely without irrigation, espe-
cially if it is for forcing under glass.
A rose never gets sufficiently hardened
to be in good shape for transplanting

in the fall if it has been kept growing
during the late summer by the use of
artificial moisture. Keep the ground
well worked and let the foliage dry off
gradually, as it will do late in the sum-
mer, and when the plants are taken up
and removed into the greenhouse and
water applied to them, they immediately
commence to make a clean, heavy growth
and an abundance of foliage and flowers
is sure to result, whereas if the plants
have been irrigated during the previous
summer the application of moisture does
not affect them as quickly and they often
insist on a resting season when they
should be setting flowers for Christmas.

neva in 1869 to become a bookkeeper with
the nursery firm of Graves, Selover &
Willard. Ten years later h^ commenced
business for himself, doing both a whole-
sale and retail business. Mr. Patty was
a prominent member of the First Pres-
byterian Church, having been a trustee
of the church for the past fifteen years.

and an elder for ten years. He held both
offices at the time of his death. He was
also secretary of the Sunday school for
nearly twenty years. He was also
a member of the Kanadasaga Club,
and was an exempt fireman, having served
with the Charles .T. Folger Hook and Lad-
der Company. In 1883 he married Miss
Helen A. Scoon, a daughter of the late
William Scoon of this city. Besides his
wife, he is survived by one daughter. Miss
Laura H. Patty, of this city, and one sis-
ter, ^frs. Frank Bassett of Bridgeport,

RAILROAD FORESTRY.

A writer in a recent number of Arbori-
culture, takes exception to a paper read
by L. E. Johnson, president of the Nor-
folk & Western, before the American
Forest Congress, on the grounds that the
arguments advanced by Mr. Johnson
against the planting of catalpa trees by
railways are based on erroneous infor-
mation. The writer refutes the assump-
tion that the life of a catalpa crosstie
is but fifteen years, by pointing to the
evidence presented at the St. Louis
World 's Fair, where manj- ties were
shown which had remained perfectly
sound after Ihirty-two years in the road-
way of the Southern Railway, Louisville
& Nashville, Illinois Central and other
roads. He goes on to state that Mr.
Johnson's assumption that 850 crossties
per acre may be obtained in twenty years
is an underestimate, and advances the
following data in regard to catalpa culti-
vation :

' ' The proper distance to plant is 7x7
feet, or 888 trees per acre, three-fourths
to be removed in eight years for use as
fence posts, mine timbers or for similar
purposes. For these a conservative valu-
ation is 5 cents each net. This leaves
222 trees for permanent forest. At fif-
teen years these trees will make five ties
and several posts each, 1,110 ties being
secured per acre. Cutting a catalpa tree
does not kill it; another is quickly pro-
duced from the stump, which has the en-

tire root system of the original tree to
push it forward rapidly. By preparing
a seven years' course of renewals, plant-
ing an equal area each year for seven
years, the Norfolk & Western system of
2,571 miles, which now has in its tracks
presumably 7,000,000 ties, will require
1,000,000 ties annually, or an average of
approximately 901 acres, which would
be 6,307 acres, or about 10 square miles.
After the seventh year tliere will be no
other renewals required for twenty-five
years. ' '

The estimated cost of the investment
is $194,698, allowing for cost of land and
trees, planting and superintendence and
interest for eight years at the rate of 5
per cent. The resultant income is fig-
ured at $210,023.10, a sum somewhat
larger than the entire cost of the invest-
ment, while the forest, all paid for, re-
mains as a permanent timber producing
property.

Christmas Preparations.

The flower shops of our city are things
of benuty and a trip among them will
repay anyone, not only to see the beau-
tiful plants but to study the various
arrangements used for making them at-
tractive. The ingenuity of the florist
is put to its greatest test at this sea-
son, to devise new and beautiful ar-
rangements. Some beautiful garlands of
boxwood and red immortelles and box-
wood in various kinds of wreaths are a
feature this year. One store has hun-
dreds of balls and baskets of red immor-
telles and boxwood tied with red ribbon,
which sell at reasonable prices and sell
like hot cakes. Pans of Romans, Pros-
erpine tulips, ferns and mixed plants are
seen, while one man has several thousand
tulips potted up, a single tulip in a 2-
inch pot, which will sell for 25 cents.

Trade has been above the average the
past week, even for the season, and all
kinds of stock cleaned up with the whole-
salers at good prices and/ an excellent
Christmas trade is predicted.

Among the greeu goods people things
have not looked so rosy the past week,
but there are great expectations for this
week. One trouble is that the commission
men are handling so much of this stock
this year, many of them getting consign-
ments and, not having much idea of the
value, sell at ridiculously low prices and
sell to anyone. The men who have made
a business of handling it for years are
feeling the effect, but as this seems such
a prosperous year they still hope to see
enough small buyers to clean them up.

On last Saturday a team of horses be-
longing to Mrs. E. A. Williams ran down
Penn avenue, scattering things generally,
until they brought up against a street
car.

Some of the retailers have been assert-
ing, the last few days, that if the prices
on roses, carnations, etc., are not kept
down within reason they will confine
themselves to plants for Christmas, but
the writer thinks that would be almost
impossible, as there are many people
who can afford and will have flowers,
even at high prices, and it will only be
when they can direct the tastes and wants
of these people that they can follow up
such a plan and hold the place they now
have in the business. HoQ-Hoo.

ABUNDANCE

The freest blooming of any carnation. A carnation
that pays for every inch of bench room it takes up. For
those who want quantity rather than extra size it is just
the thing. It can be brought into blf)om as early as you
please and continue all winter improving in size, quality
of flower and length and strength of stem.

The Weekly Florists' Review^

December 21, 1905.

LENOX, MASS.

The regular meeting of the Lenox
Horticultural Society was held in the
toAvn hall December 1(5. A larger num-
ber of the members than usual turned
out as a compliment to the newly elected
officers. Seated beside President Carl-
quist were A^ice-President Heeremans and
Treasurer ]\IcC'onnachie. Arthur T. Bod-
dingtun. of Now York, and Jas. T. Scott,
of Tari'ytowii, were present, Mr. Bod-
dington Ijeiiig u member of the society.
He made u proposition that the
society adopt a scale of points for
the guidance of judges at our shows,
not only for judging chrysanthe-
mums, roses and carnations, but for
fruits, vegetables, flowering plants and
groujis. This drew forth a great deal of
discussion. .Many were of opinion that
it would l)e a slight upon the judges
called wpon to pass on such exhibits.
Some feared that it would partake too
much of the stereoscopic and leave no
room for individuality. After a very
full discussion, however, Mr. Bodding-
ton's pro]>osition Avas unanimously
adopted.

Mr. Scott responded to the invitation
of the president and gave a short talk.
In his remarks lie dwelt upon the excel-
lence of our exhibits, particularly upon
the unique construction of our plant
groups. He said that in his travels he
had not v.itnessed at any exhibition this
fall such individuality and taste displayed
as was always to be seen here. According
to him Lienox is doing missionary work
in this respect, and it would be an edu-
cation for the craft at large, if they
could witness these displays. The aver-
age plant group at most exhibitions
partakes of the haycock form and is
built with plumb and rule. He said he
regretted very much that the country at
large does not know more fully the
grand work that is being accomplished
for horticulture in this section.

F. E. Pierson Co. had on exhibition
three vases of new carnations, Helen
Gould, White Enchantress and Winsor,
Winsor is a beautiful pink, the same
shade as Fiancee. It very much resem-
bles Lawson in size, form and stem. Mr.
Scott said that in freedom of growth and
productiveness it excels that grand old
variety, and so far they never have been
troubled with a burst calyx. White En-
chantress is a sport, as the name implies.
The color is pure. Helen Gould is also
a sport of Enchantress. The color is
dark ])ink, with slight variegation of still
darker pink and, contrary to ex-pecta-
tions, it will make a very striking com-
bination. We understand Miss Gould
saw the flower at Tarrytown and was
very much in love with it; hence the
name. Each sort recoivod a first-class
certificate.

The new president named the members
for the various committees. His selec-
tion in each case was happy and a suc-
cessful year is predicted. The president
also appointed a committee to draw up
resolutions of condolence to be sent to
the families of John Sloane and Mrs.
Biddle, both life members of the society.
They both took a very active interest in
all the society's doings and subscribed
very liberally to the funds. Their death
is a serious loss to the society. G. F.

DENVER.

The Market.

The market the past week was good,
the weather being springlike. After
Thanksgiving the market was a bit un-
steady for a few days, but last week it
was in a very healthy condition and has
naturally strengthened since and the de-
mand is steadily holding to a good point
and growers are not holding much stock
back, so it will be in good, shape for
Christmas trade.

The exodus of chrysanthemums has
helped the sale of roses and carnations,
neither of which are over-plentiful, espe-
cially in regard to carnations, and prices
hold firm. Colored stock is more scarce
than white and the demand for red far
exceeds the supply. The retail prices for
Christmas trade are quoted at $1, $1.50
to $2 per dozen and there is likely to be
a scarcity at that.

Beauties at this writing appear to be
a little more plentiful. The longer-
stemmed ones are coming in larger quan-
tities, but short ones a little scarce.
Other rose stock is fairly plentiful and
of good quality, with a good cut in sight
for Christmas. There is also a good
lot of Paper White narcissi seen, as well
as stevia. Violets are still scarce, with
a probability of not much of an increase
except in price for Christmas.

Still, everything points to a good
Christmas trade and there are still great
quantities of cut flowers disposed of at
the Christmas season and for good prices,
too, but the beautiful flowering plants
now to be seen at all the shops will take
many a sale from the cut flowers and
there are many to be seen now, the poin-
settia leading on account of its effective
color; Gloire de Lorraine, azaleas, etc.,
following. A few novelties are seen,
such as Otaheite oranges nicely fruited in
7-inch pots, also Ficus pandurata, the new
rubber.

Various Notes.

The Florists' Bowling League, which
meets every Monday evening, will not
roll December 25 or January 1 on ac-
count of the holidays. One peculiar
feature of the games is that the team
with the greatest number of games now
has the smallest number of total pins,
while the team with the greatest num-
ber of pins is last in the race.

The Park Floral Co. last week filled
one retail order for carnations which
perhaps was the largest ever shipped out
of Denver, sending 250 dozen to Mon-
tana and, coming in just as it did, be-
fore Christmas, when every carnation is
needed, made it something of a feat, as
they were all select blooms. E. S. K.

ROSES OLD AND NEW.

Yes, we have advanced in rose cul-
ture, gained magnificent new varieties,
but it is a matter for rejoicing also, I
think, that these are quite powerless to
oust all the old ones. While some, nay,
many, of the ancient roses are now un-
known, it is a truth, too, that many of
the modern introductions will be lost,
just as deservedly, a few years hence.
Surely the great lesson to be learned and
practiced, is the buying of the best roses,
new or old; choosing them for their
merits, uninfluenced by the crazes of a
season, weighing the advantages of each
flower iu the balance of justice, and dis-
carding any variety that proves less
good than was promised.

Public taste is not an infallible guide.
A novel color will often sell a loosely
petaled, ill-shaped, quickly fading rose;
size is sometimes admired to the too-
ready-forgiveness of bad color; delicacy
of tint and shape are often combined
with weak, drooping habit of growth,
and flabby stems.

Of course, perfection is not to be
found, so we must make all reasonable
concessions to any new rose; only let us
avoid neglecting older varieties that have
really superior merits but have gone out
of fashion and been forgotten in the
world's eagerness for the novel. Some
raisers are too lavish in their introduc-
tions, but a visit to the grounds where
the roses are growing, or even a careful
study of the catalogue descriptions, not-

ing especially the omissions, should give
a sufficient guide to purchasers.

What a discussion there has been over
the worth of Mildred Grant! That the
flowers are exquisite, with their high cen-
tres, admirable shape, and laintly flushed
white tint, nobody can deny. Alas, that
the stems are so unsatisfactory, from the
flower arrangers ' point of view ! More
"than one rose grower, I believe, offers it
as "considered to be the finest rose ever
raised, ' ' whue others leave out the three
first words of the sentence. Personally,
I regard it as one of the roses that will
go down to posterity, in spite of its de-
merits, just as we have ignored the faults
of Niphetos and even Marechal Niel. A
lovely satisfactory new hybrid tea, of an
ivory-white, flushed with salmon, large
blooming, firm petaled, perfectly formed,
is Alice Grahame. I strongly advise rose
connoisseurs to obtain this, and note its
value. Surely this is a variety that ought
never to sink into oblivion!

Among the indispensable older pale
roses Madame Hoste should have a high
place. What a joy it is to see it respond-
ing to vigorous feeding and general good
culture — the branches growing stouter,
the leaves larger and darker, even before
the great yellowish-white flowers come
to prove how delicate they can look, al-
though they are full and firm. The ro-
bust growth is a subject for deep grati-
tude.

La France will never be given up, I
imagine; it remains a distinctive rose,
in spite of the prodigious output of roses
since it first delighted the horticultural
world. Gloire de Dijon has been im-
proved upon, I admit, but let us hope it
will never be forgotten^ since there is a
rich color in its usually irregularly
shaped center that others do not offer.

Are any of our new ramblers really
better than the old climber, Cloth of
Gold? This is indeed a relic from the
past that the future should perpetuate.
There is certainly something unique
about the almost too vigorous Crimson
Eambler, but many of the others are, 1
think, over-rated. Aglaia, by the by, is
such a joy upon a north wall that no
garden or house with such a space vacant
should be without it. Plant it on a hot
wall and no pleasure will be gained from
it, for the flowers will fade out ere they
are open, and none of the pure clear yel-
low will remain.

Fortune's Yellow is still catalogued as
"extra fine." Our great-grandfathers
knew it as Beauty of Glazenwood. The
striped York and Lancaster roses should
be in all rosaries; so, too, I think, should
be the Maiden's Blush. Yes, the faults
of these are too obvious, but to grow
them is not to ignore modern achieve-
ments, nor to contradict our objects of
searching for the very best, because they
have unique merits, that ' ' better ' ' roses
have not repeated.

When is the perfect, brilliant scarlet,
full, firm tea rose coming to us, I won-
der? It must have strong stems, large,
dark red-tinted foliage, and not hang its
head too humbly! Where again is the
huge hybrid perpetual of the exact shade
of Marechal Niel? I should also like
a brilliant pink, fully-double rambler
that would bloom all the summer and au-
tumn. There are triumphs yet left for
attainment by our clever rose raisers.—

BALTIMORE.

The Market

Stock is short and trade quiet. We
have been having some real winter
weather and on December 15 we had a
heavy snow and plenty of dark weather
all that week. The effect of it is ap-
parent in the roses, a large number of
which are coming in with very weak
stems.

The carnations are all of very good
quality, but there are nowhere near
enough to meet the demand at the Ex-
change, in fact, there are no flowers
that are an over-supply at the first of
this week.

Various Notes.

Wm. B. Sands is sending in some fine
poinsettias and Harrisii.

James Smith, of Lansdowne, lost a
daughter by typhoid fever the past week.

Charles Sieck, of C. E. Smith & Co.,
took a Hying trip to Philadelphia last
week in search for blooming plants for
Christmas.

Philip B. Welsh is still shipping some
very pretty light pink chrysanthemums
to the Exchange.

Hopes for bowling alleys at the new
Exchange building are not very bright.

Most of the retailers outside the cen-
tral part of the city are making very
striking displays with the red paper
bells, some using nothing but these with
Boston ferns to good effect. The bell
business seems to be over-done this year.
Every department store and small toy
store advertises bells measuring ten
inches across the bottom for 10 cents.

R. Vincent, Jr., has been requested to
speak on his trip abroad at the next
meeting of the Gardeners' Club. A large
attendance is expected.

Wm. Terry, of Owings Mills, has put
in a new Ideal sectional boiler. A. F.

Chillicothe, Mo. — R. L. Isherwood
will go on the road for tlie Studebaker
wagon works, but will continue his
greenhouse business hero.

plant here was only recently completed,
are reported as planning to double it in
the spring.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

December 21, 1905.

MADISON, N. J.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Morris County Gardeners' and Florists'
Society was held December 13, and the
following offietrs Avere elected for the
coming year: President, J, Heeremans;
vice-president, E. M. Schultz; secretary,
E. Eeagan ; treasurer, Wm. Charlton;
executive committee, C. H. Totty, R.
McMullen. H. Vince, A. Herrington, H.
L. Hand, Wm. Muhlmiehel, Alex.
Brown, A. McKendry, Wm. Duckham,
A. H. Seeker. J. R. Halliday, J. R.-
Mitchell. The officers made neat
speeches of acceptance. A letter from
Wm. Duckham, who is now in Europe,
was read to the society. He gave us his
impressions of the Glasgow flower show
and its chrysanthemums especially. We
are expecting an interesting paper on
his travels when he returns.

Our tenth annual smoker will be held
in our club rooms on January 10. The
committee in charge is A. Herrington,
C. H. Totty and E. Reagan. Like our
flower show, we take great pride in our
social aftairs, and the aim of the com-
mittee will be to have this one, if pos-
sible, better than ever before. E. R.

NEW ORLEANS.

The flower show committee had a meet-
ing a few days ago to wind up the affairs
of the late exhibition and we will hear
the full report at our next meeting. It
seems to be an assured fact that all the
expenses have been paid, leaving a sur-
plus for the cash prizes, which is cer-
tainly as good as can be expected. The
New Orleans Floral Association, the ob-
ject of which is to give a flower show
every year, started by electing its offi-
cers. We have not learned yet how much
connection they will have with the N. O.
H. S. and will speak further about this
new organization.

N. ZwEiFKL, No. Milwaukee.Wis., writes:— "I have 4 houses, each 28x200 feet, with a total

Grant Newport, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, writes:— "I bought a No. 2 Boiler in 1902. Takes
care of 7,000 sq. ft. of glass; would take care of 2,000 more. I have had a cast-iron boiler,
but it broke down twioe in tonr years, always in the doldest weather. It broke down
Dec. 26, 1904, and I lost all my stock in consequence. I have now two No. 2 Kroeschell
Boilers and do not worry about their breaking down."

Record Holiday Results.

A memorandum made which can be re-
ivrred to is better than trusting your
lucniory, so write down now just how
•, )ur crops were balanced. Note that you
"jcrhaps could have sold more well flow-
vjed azaleas, but you had plenty of
i5ogonia Lorraine, etc. These are prom-
inent features ' that may be distinctly
jeuiembered, yet there will be others
ialuable to refer to and not so clearly
remembered. It is too soon yet to come
to any conclusion, for we have another
week of merry-making. Remembrances
and decorations and lots of little left-
overs will yet be cleanly used up.

Christmas is but a few hours past,
but I want to be the first in the field
to say that never in my recollection
was there a more happy one. From the
waif en the street who was invited to a
sumptuous dinner, to the well-to-do it
seemed a time of rest, pleasure and con-
tentment and I believe saw an increase
of thirty to fifty per cent with many a
florists' business.

Stock Left Over.

It is slightly previous to mention what
can be done with stock unsold or cut
^own, yet it is the most seasonable hint
I can think of. A greenhouse may have
a dilapidated look this morning and ap-
pear as if a cyclone had passed through,
yet a very few hours' work will have
things stood up in much diminished
blocks and empty, clean benches
ready to receive crops that have been
•waiting for a shift or spread out. If
you cut a lot of Harrisii lilies dump
them out on your old soil pile. Don 't
think for a moment that you can do
anything with them. Save half a dozen
sweet stevia that are cut down and
place in a light, cool house for future
stock.

Poinsettias that were cut a foot or
eighteen inches from the ground can be
laid beneath a warm, dry bench and al-
lowed to become perfectly dry at the
root. Azaleas are never left over, but
will sell at any time, and so will Gloire
de Lorraine. A brother florist sent me
a splendid plant of the white Lorraine,
Turnford Hall, and in spite of its being
"iinder the expert care of a florist's wife
it has in the course of two weeks dropped
all its expanded flowers. It is still thick
with its unopened buds and quite orna-
mental if you had not seen it when at its
zenith of beauty.

Begonia Incaroata.

I have had occasion to mention sev-
eral times this fall the Begonia in-
<;arnata robusta. Mr. Harris, of Phila-
delphia, gives us the name robusta,
which appeals to us as correct because it
is so appropriate. We grew, after an
interval of several years, a good many
pans of this fine begonia this year, three
or four plants in a 12-inch pan, with a
pink mat and ribbon. They were very
attractive and sold better than Lor-
raine. If the rust is avoided they are
easy to grow.

There is now an improvement on ro-
busta which I have mentioned under the
name of B. incarnata Sanderi and I
believe this name will do, because we
notice in one of Mr. Pettigrew's in-
structive talks of his recent visit to Eu-
rope he mentioned that on seeing the
wonderful collection of begonias in the
Dublin Botanic Gardens how much he
would like his friend Mr. Sander to have
been with him. So evidently Mr. Sander,
of the neighborhood of the Hub, besides
being an eminent gardener of that cen-
ter of refinement and cultured civiliza-
tion and horticulture of the United
States, is also a begonia specialist. The
friend who gave me the plant last spring
received it from Mr. Sander. All florists
should grow it, but where they are to
get the stock I don't know. Jf not a
Christmas plant, it is a wonder a month
later and on for many weeks.

Timing a Rose Crop.

Some mention for future reference re-
garding your cut flower crops will be
of more consequence to many than the
sales of their plants. One little test this
fall may be interesting to some. "Within
a year we inquired of two first-class rose
growers when you could cut a bud from
a strong lateral growth and have the
succeeding bud right for Christmas. One
said the first week in October. The
other thought from October 15 to 30.
Remember, this was for our climate,
not the bright suns of Denver, Omaha or
St. Paul. It was for St. Clouds and re-
ferred to Brides and Maids. So, having
cut a fairly good bud on October 25, we
at once fastened to the stem a tag
marked "Cut October 25." That bud
was exactly right on Christmas eve. Re-
member weather makes all the difference.
Our October was glorious, November was
mild Mnd cloudy and December was as
dark and gloomy as the outlook of the
republican party in the Empire state.

Carnations.

Carnations will come in for condemna-
tion more or less severe. Don't be hasty.
It takes more than one year to learn the
desires and peculiarities of a variety.
Fiancee seems to be disappointing in
many places. After it gets over its
wo)iderful tendency to flower it may
turn out all its early habit promised.
A case in point is the fine scarlet well
named Flamingo. Last year, with sum-
mer growth under glass, it scarcely gave
a flower until January. Then there was
a crop of fine flowers with stems three
feet long, and after that very little.
This year, grown in the field and lifted
in early August, it began to flower in
November and the past month has given
an abundance of grand flowers. I know
a few good carnation growers who are
satisfied that in Flamingo they have all
they want for a fine scarlet.

Not only as to the merits of a new
variety, but with standard varieties like
the immortal Lawson or Enchantress,
take notice when you lifted them, at
what date you last pinched them. Much

depends on all that and makes the dif-
ference in getting a crop when they are
worth three times what they would be
two weeks earlier or later, I have said,
make a memorandum because as we ma-
ture we think our memory is infallible.
It is not, and as our brain gets hard-
ened and filled up the lighter is the im-
pression made on it and the more diffi-
cult to recall a past event. Memory has
nothing of the spiritual or mysterious
about it. It is as material as the muscle
in your arm or the organs of digestion.
The lad of ten years has a brain that
is soft and plastic and largely unoccu-
pied and an event that arrests his atten-
tion will make an indelible mark on his
brain that will scarcely ever be effaced.
At forty your brain, particularly if you
have been a thinker, is thickly scored
over and only shallow lines can be im-
pressed on it; hence events that hap-
pened in our youth are much clearer
than incidents which- have only six
months of history. This is not horti-
culture but physiology, which only a few
florists indulge in.

If you have grown any plants this
winter that have not paid for bench
room or that have been lacking popu-
larity, then don't hesitate to throw them
away. A good gardener loves his plants
and perhaps some particular species or
variety is his favorite, but in these
speedy days he must not let sentiment
interfere with business. Next to the
ability to grow well is the pluck to
tlirow away or discard the unprofitable.

William Scott.

ATTENTION, ADVERTISERS!

The following very interesting letter
from a subscriber touches on an evil in
the plant trade, very much regretted and
which the Review^ would give much to
see corrected:

' ' We wish to call your attention to
the fact that a great many advertisers
offer stock and when you send check you
find it is returned stating that the stock
is all sold. This is all well and good, but
when you see the same adv in the next
issue of the paper it makes you feel
you cannot depend on what you see ad-
vertised. For instance, we are in the
market for several thousand Beaute
Poitevine geraniums; one man advertised
them by the thousand and we sent our
check, which was returned, stating he
was sold out. We wrote to another man
who advertised them, but we did not send
check for the very reason that he might
be sold out, which proved correct. The
next issue of the paper contained both
these advertisements that they were still
able to supply this stock. We of course
presume it was either a neglect of with-
tlrawing the advertisement or having it
changed, or possibly they have time con-
tracts and let their advertisements stay
in after the stock is sold- for fear they
will not get their money's worth of ad-
vertising if they withdraw.

"We think your paper should make a
special effort to have every advertiser
withdraw or change his advertisement
as soon as the stock is sold. Last spring
a friend of mine in the trade told nae
that he sent five checks out for variegated
vincas and every one was returned, yet
every one of these advertisers still had
vincas to sell for two or three weeks,
according to the continued advertise-
ments.

"We would be pleased to have your
views on this subject and let us know

Decembek 28. 1905.

whether you think it possible to improve
this condition of affairs."

The Review constantly and insistently
urges upon its advertisers the necessity
of keeping their advertisements up to
date. "We urge it for the advertiser's
sake and for our own. It hurts a firm
or an individual to offer what cannot be
supplied, and to a lesser degree it hurts
the publication which is the vehicle of
that offer. But this much should be said

in extenuation: Very many advertise-
ments are ordered to run until forbid;
one or two insertions sells the stock
and a letter is dispatched canceling the
advertisement, but is received too late
to prevent another insertion. The only
remedy is for each advertiser to watch
his own interests closely and cut out the
advertisement promptly when stock runs
low. Don 't neglect it ; Review adver-
tisements work while you sleep.

A GOOD OLD YEAR.

As 1905 has but two more business
days to run, it is fitting at this time
that we should glance backward for a
short review of the trade accomplish-
ments of the year. There can be no
doubt that 1905 has been the banner
year in the history of our business, not
alone in one department, but in all.
That this would be the case was early
apparent, and, indeed, business has been
steadily gathering volume and was bet-
ter toward the close of the year than
in its first half.

It has been a period of unexampled
prosperity in all business activities in
the United States, but in no department
has prosperity been broader than in agri-
culture. The farmers have money and
a notable feature of 1905 has been the
fact that business has been better, rela-
tively, in the smaller communities than
in the great cities. But every florist
has had a market for all he could pro-
duce, providing he produces the proper
quality. A period of prosperity is not
a time for turning out cheap stock. If
any man has failed to find a profitable
sale for his stuff it has been because
his stock was poorly chosen or poorly
grown. There have, of course, been in-
dividual and local exceptions, but the
man who finds fault with 1905 should
look inward rather than outward.

Door-yard Gardening.

If there is one feature most striking
about the business of 1905 it is the
increase in interest in flower gardening.
This has been so marked as to attract
the attention of observers in all lines
of activity, as well as those who have
been directly benefited. From million-
aire to day laborer, everyone has felt
♦he value and pleasure of door-yard or
window gardening and the demand for
material for this class of work has been
unprecedented. In the west there has
been a greater increase in landscape
gardening than in the east, but through-
out the country door-yard planting has
been the popular hobby and the interest
80 keen that a number of amateur gar-
dening publications have made conspicu-
ous successes by catering to this interest
and the great daily papers have found
the flower gardening department one of
the most interesting special features.

The sale of bedding stock last spring
was not especially heavy, possibly be-
cause a great many growers were late
with a considerable part of their crops,
and good quantities were left over which
might have been sold if offered earlier
in the season.

Cut Flower Trade.

The cut flower business has eclipsed
all previous records. In wholesale cen-
ters trade was slow in the spring, but
during the summer, and this is especially
true of the west, business was better
than it ever had been before during
that season. And in the fall the ac-
customed glut of stock did not come
until just before Thanksgiving, when
there was a brief ijeriod of oversupplies
and low prices. Considering the year
as a whole, very satisfactory prices have
been realized and the production has
been larger than it ever was before.
Chrysanthemums realized this fall slight-
ly lower values than in previous years
and violets this autumn repeated the ex-
perience of last season in oversupplies
and low returns to the growers. Carna-
tions have brought especially good prices.

A feature which can escape no careful
observer is the fact that more and more
each year the large consumes of cut
flowers are providing local supplies.
They are building greenhouses of their
own, and selling their own product, or
they are encouraging the development of
local wholesale cut flower growing estab-
lishments. A number of such places are
proving conspicuous successes and others
are planned. At the same time building
progresses apace in the large wholesale
centers and one would look for great
overproduction. It is a fact that short-

ages are much less common than they
have been, but the development of new
outlets through new retail stores, and ia
communities where cut flowers were pre-
viously little used, has served to keep
the markets fairly well balanced.

Greenhouse building in the past year
eclipsed the record of 1903, which was
the banner year up to that time. It is
difficult to offer any estimate of the
amount of new glass put up in 1905.
Much rebuilding was done, but it is
safe to say that greenhouse areas ex-
tended at least fifteen per cent during
the year. Early indications are that
1906 will see an even greater increase
in glass area.

Holiday Business.

Florists are everywhere interested in
holidays, as they are the harvest seasons
in the retail way. Easter, 1905, made
an advance over previous Easters. It
was, perhaps, not a great advance in
money return, but all cut stock sold at
good prices. It is noteworthy that the
sales for bulbous stock, especially cut^
are not so great as they have been in
the past years and that a large propor-
tion of the Easter buyers are turning
to growing plants. All good cut flowers
cleaned out at Easter, but there is no
longer occasion for accumulating cut
flower stock at the expense of quality
for this holiday; salable plants are now
too abundant. The lily continues to be
the popular Easter flower, but its pre-
domination is not so marked as in the
days before the Easter lily was offered
all the year around.

There is now a great variety in the
line of Easter flowering plants and to
name them would be superfluous. All
well-grown flowering plants will sell at
Eftster, providing they are offered to the
right class of trade. You can 't sell ten-
dollar plants in fifty-cent stores and ten-
dollar stores can 't afford to handle fifty-
cent plants.

Memorial day is becoming of more
.Tud more importance. Throughout the
north, from New England to Colorado,
Memorial day calls for annually increas-
ing quantities of cut flowers and a con-
siderable number of flowering plants. It
is not a day for high prices and those
who attempt to raise prices will defeat
the best interests of the trade.

A Bench of Poinsetfias.

December 28, 1905.

The Weekly Rorists^ Review.

Thanksgiving in 1905 did not bring
the results which had been expected.
Thanksgiving is another day which will
y_.^(i considerable quantities of stock, but
vvill not stand for much increase in price.
'ibis year it chanced that the day was
nearly everywhere cold or stormy, which
iiterfered with trade, especially the de-
s,,and for violets for street wear.

Christmas is so recent an event that
jit tie need be said of it. Universal pros-
Mcrity was reflected in the flower busi-
jiess. The demand for cut flowers was
jiever greater and everything of suitable
raiality was sold at prices never better,
'varger numbers of flowering plants were
< fl'ered than ever before and sold out
clean, so far as wholesale hands were
concerned. Occasionally a retailer over-
liought, but in general it was the most
satisfactory Christmas on record.

Nineteen hundred and five has seen a
w'vler use of florists' requisites than was
ever made before. Better taste has pre-
vailed in leading stores and possibly less
drapery has been used in proportion to
tlie number of orders sent out. But, on
the other hand, stores in smaller com-
munities, where comparatively few sup-
plies have been used, have this season
•seen the profit in the artistic results to
be obtained by the use of the many aids
supplied by the dealers in baskets, pans,
ribbons and the thousand other requisites
of an up-to-date store.

Flower Shows.

The flower show season of 1905 made
a new record. Public interest was greater
than in any previous year and in a half
dozen of the leading cities, flower shows
made new records for magnitude, for
public interest and for attendance. The
awakening interest in all gardening mat-
tors caused the public press to give these
shows greater attention than ever before,
greatly to our benefit. The gardening
interest was recognized in a number of
exhibitions, particularly at Chicago, and
in several cities the retail florists recog-
nized the value of the flower show in its
effect on their business and participated
as never before.

The New Year.

The year 1906 is ushered in under
most favorable auspices. There is no
cloud on the horizon. Production is still
behind consumption in our business. The
general prosperity of the country has
suffered no curtailment and the pros-
pects are excellent for increased business
in all branches of our trade. At the
same time, he is a wise man who does
not commit himself beyond the bounds
of prudence. While there is no sign
of trouble, yet it is better to make haste
slowly in the matter of expanding one's
business where it must be done on credit.
If there is any particular in which flo-
rists in general are lax it is in the mat-
ter of credits. Credits are extended
■without due investigation and in unrea-
sonable amounts in proportion to the
creditor's resources. Our trade has in-
creased so rapidly that many firms are
doing a business greater than is war-
ranted by their capital. It would be
wise to look closely at the matter of
credits and in this period of easy sales
endeavor to inaugurate better things in
the matter of business methods.

about 2,000 feet of glass to his plant,

A Pan of Poinsettias.

PAN OF POINSETTIAS.

We had the pan of poinsettias photo-
graphed because we did not remember of
a similar illustration. Had the old man
been around at the performance, he
would have chosen a dwarfer lot of
plants, but after all the sample illus-
trated will find plenty of admirers. In
spite of choosing all the plants for this
pan in August, of apparently equal
strength and health, there is a great va-
riation in their height, and with many
buyers this is no detriment. The tallest
bract is just fifteen inches above the
soil and the spread of bracts and foli-
age the same. When this pan assumed
its frills, paper to hide the pan and a
judicious use of ribbon, it readily re-
tailed at $10, and, althoug"u a good price,
it is worth it, for there is lots of labor
and some knowledge needed to bring it
to perfection. Doctors, lawyers and min-
isters of the gospel do not pretend to
charge for what they actually give you.
You pay for accrued interest on the time
and money they spent at college and
hospital and theological seminaries. So
why should we not charge for our early
instructions in washing pots and throw-
ing out ashes, the essential rudiments of
a gardener's education?

The view of the large group of poin-
settias was taken December 15. They
start with plants not rtitre than twelve
inches high, wit^ bracts eighteen inches
across, and recede in the picture to
plants with stems five feet high. This is
partly accounted for by the date at
which they were propagated, but there is
some o'^er cause for which we cannot
account. Some seasons they will grow
much taller than others. The man who
can keep his plants below two feet, with
large heads, will always dispose of stock
at an excellent price. The tall ones
come in for church decorations or for
cutting. . W. S.

ROSES OVER-FED.

We have three houses of Brides and
Maids benched in July, one and two-
year plants that have been giving fair
cuts but are weak in stem and the buds
do not have very good substance. De-
cember 10 to 15 we mulched with two
inches of well rotted cow manure. Did
we do the right thing to increase our
cut of high grade stock? The houses
were then out of crop. The plants had
lieon fed with liquid manure in October,
and bone meal and wood ashes in No-
vember. We would like some advice as
to treating these houses. The soil is a
little light for roses, just right for car-
nations. There has been a good deal
(if blind wood and too many short
stems. The plants are healthy and free
from insects. The temperature is 56
to 58 degrees. One house is grafted
stock. They cut more blooms, but I <*an
see no difference in quality. W. B.

The trouble with these roses is simply
a case of dyspepsia — over-feeding when
root action is sluggish. When it is
really necessary to apply mulch at this
season (which is very rare) it should
be put on very thin. Two inches is alto-
gether tco much, as this excludes the
sun's ravs, which are the life of the
plant, entirely from the soil, causing a
stoppage of root activity.

The most sensible thing to do is to
remove at least two-thirds of the mulch
and keep the surface of the soil loose
and open and refrain from feeding for
a few weeks, until the plants have re-
gained their health. The general treat-
ment has been right, but you are far too
generous in feeding. Eibes.

OBITUARY.

Death of Henry Eckford.

Henry Eckford, the man who is widely
credited with greatest responsibility for
the improvement of the sweet pea and
who has sent out many of our very best
kinds, died at his English home Decem-
ber ;j at the age of 82 years. The ac-
companying illustration is from a photo-
graph made July 18, 1905, when W.
Atlee ISurpee visited Mr. Eckford for
tlie last time. The original is among
INlr. Burpee's choice possessions.

Tlio announcement of Mr. Eckford 's
death scarcely came as a surprise, for
since September lie had been confined to
liis bed. During the 80 years of his life he
witnessed many changes in the horticul-
tural world and was himself instrumental
in no small measure in bringing about
some very important ones, especially in
sweet peas which he raised from the

humblest to the highest rank amongst
garden annuals.

A Jiative of Mid-Lothian, Scotland,
he was apprenticed as a gardener at an
early age, and later on in life filled sev-
eral important positions as a gardener
before commencing business on his own
! jiccount at Wem as a seed grower and
1 merchant. As a hybridizer of verbenas
' and other fiowers he was well-known
before devoting his attention and skill to
culinary peas and sweet peas. It was
among the latter that his greatest
achievements were attained, his many
triumphs culminating in the variety
known as Henry Eckford, introduced
this year, a distinct advance in color
upon anything previously known in
sweet ])eas. lie was not long ago award
ed the Victoria medal for his great ser-
vices to horticulture.

He was of a genial and kindly dis-
position and his conversation was al-
ways interesting on account of his many
reminiscences of bygone days.

CARNATION NOTES -WEST.

Notes on Varieties.

Before you get into the propagating
too far you will do Avell to figure xip what
varieties you are going to grow next
season and how many of each. The
season is well enough along now for you
to see what varieties are going to pay
you best and what colors you want to
increase or decrease your plantings of
next season. If you liave new varieties
on trial you can tell pretty well by this
time wliether you will Avant to make all
the cuttings yon can for next season or
whether you will want only enough to
give a fair trial next season. A plan
we have been following for some years
with good success is to draw a sketch
of each house and mark what is to be
planted on each bed and the number of
plants each bed requires. When making
cuttings you can always refer to this
list and know just what you will require
of each variety. Changes can of course
be made as needed.

This list does not embrace all the
varieties that are on the market, but in
it are good varieties in all the leading
colors. In most cases they are the best
in their colors.

Vesper. — As an all -sea son white we
place this at the head of the list. It is
early, free and continuous. The blooms
are large, pure white and never burst.
Long and strong stem. This variety was
not pushed as its merits deserved but it
will be grown more and more as it be-
comes better known.

Lady Bountiful. — If this variety would
come into its best form a little earlier
in the season we would give it first place.
Undoubtedly the best shipper on account
of its great substance.

The Belle. — Many growers consider
this the finest white commercially, as it
is large and free and has good stems.
<^;omes in form very early and was the
finest white at our late show in the

general classes. A tendency to split a
small percentage of its calyxes during
mid-winter is its only fault.

AVhite Lawson. — Same as its parent
save in color. Comes slightly mottled
when first opened but fades out pure
white when fully developed.

Indiana Market. — A variety of our own
grown in place of JMora Hill on account
of its productiveness and ability to with-
stand liot weather.

Moonlight. — A tall growing, early

blooming, pure white. Makes up fine in
casket sprays. Not an extra good ship-
per, but for the retail grower this is hard
to beat.

The Bride. — A dwarf growing white
with a good bloom, but outclassed in gen-
eral by the above varieties.

The Queen. — This variety is making a
place for itself as an early white for
commercial blooms. Outclassed on the
exhibition table, but a great money-
maker as it is seen on many places.

Boston Market.— Very free flowering
but too small in size in these days of
fancy carnations.

Cov. Wolcott. — A fine white during
warm weather but splits too much in
winter.

Flora Hill, White Cloud, Her Majesty,
I^rna and Queen Louise we have dropped
because they are outclassed by the above
varieties.

Enchantress. — Never before has a va-
riety done so universally well right from
the start as has Enchantress. At once
became a favorite with everybody,
grower and retailer alike. Produces the
highest grade of blooms under ordinary
culture and is as free as most of the
smaller varieties. Every grower needs
this.

Fiancee. — This variety was unable to
show itself in its true form this season
except on a few places. I think, how-
ever, that when it gets on to its feet again
it will fulfil all the claims that Avere
made for it.

Mrs. LaAvson. — The standard dark pink
of the day.

Indianapolis. — Has not met with the
success we looked for with most growers.
Is still our best paying dark pink va-
riety, not excepting Lawson. Very free,
early and f'ontinuous, and makes long
stems early in the season. Wants to be
kept topped back close when making the
plant.

Mr>!. E. A. Nelson.- — -With some this

Hency Eckford and W. Atlee Burpee.

A House of Bostons, Kentias and Sprengeri of the George Wittbold Co., Edgfebrook, lU.

is a very fine commercial variety. Not
free enough during the early winter with
us, and hard to root.

Mrs. F. Joost. — Still grown by some,
but too small,

Ethel Crocker. — We grow this variety
for blooming in hot weather, when it is
ahead of anything in its color. Not a
good winter bloomer.

Nelson Fisher. — A very bright shade
of carmine pink which shows up fine at
night. Grows much the same as Lawson.

G. H. Crane. — Still grown largely as
a commercial scarlet. Hard to beat for
earliness and freedom. Medium size
bloom.

Crusader. — Much the same as Crane.
A larger bloom but not so early nor so
free in blooming.

Flamingo. — A very strong growing
scarlet of good size and form. Not free
enough to be profitable.

Flambeau. — One of our own varieties
and our favorite scarlet. Stands hot
weather without getting sleepy. At its
l>iggest crop during mid-winter.

Cardinal. — Eesembles Estelle but far
Superior in every way. Large, early
and free, and always comes full in the
center. Bids fair to become a leading
commercial scarlet.

John E. Haines. — The introducers of
this variety sent us a batch of young
plants last spring for trial. They made
only fair plants in our heavy soil and an
unusually dry summer, but they deliglit-
ed us with some grand blooms as early
as the middle of September. Every
shoot makes a bloom and the stem is
fine.

Harlowarden. — We consider this the
best crimson. Very strong growth and
and free bloomer.

Harry Fenn. — Not so large as the
above, but very free in blooming and a
shade brighter in color. ShoAvs a little
more scarlet cast.

Daheim.— A fine large bloom and a
fine shade of crimson in col<l wcatlier,
but not good in warm weather.

^Irs. Patten. — As a variegated this is
jierhaps the best there is. Extremely
free and early and of good size.

Prosperity. — As grown by some this is
a grand variety, but requires special cul-
ture to bring success. Not very free.

Dorothy Whitney. — Conceded to bo the
lest yellow today. A. F. J. Baur.

BEST FOUR KINDS.

Will you kindly tell nie what are the
l)cst four kinds of carnations, white,
red, pink and light pink? I want quality
and shall grow Enchantress for light
jiirik. What should be the other three.'
1 have to grow tluMU all in one house.

s. J. n.

Your ii'.quirv comes riglit in line with
what I had outlined for my iiotes for
this issue, and so I will ask you to read
them carefully and yon will be able
to get the information you are looking
for. I will say, liowever, that you should
grow more than one variety in each color,
because every variety has its own special
time when it is at its best and by the
same token it 1ms its time when it is at
its poorest. You can cover the season
much better by growing two or three
v;iiietios in each color. A. F. J. Bati:.

LIGHT PINK LAWSON.

The enclosed carnation bloom is a
s])ort from Lawson and we would like
to liave your opinion of it. We would
like to know if there is any other Law-
scm sport of that color and if it would
lie worth while to propagate it?

M. J. L.

The carnation bloom you sent was
too badly wilted when it arrived here
for me to tell the exact shade of tlie
bloom. It failed to revive Avhen ])hice(l
in water. I could see. however, that the
color was much lighter than Lawson.
Yes. there are other light-colored sports
of Lawson, several shades I understand

but I cannot say how near they resemble
yours. As to the advisability of propa-
gating it, 1 would say that depends en-
tirely on how good you consider it. is
the color a pleasing one? Would you
care to grow it in quantity for your
trade? Lawson is grown extensively all
over the land on account of its many
good qualities. The color is just a little
darker than was considered ideal when it
was introduced, but its other good quali-
ties soon overcame this slight objection.
Now if your sport has that ideal shade
of i)ink (of which Mrs. Joost is a fair
sam])le) then it is but natural to suppose
that it will gradually crowd tlie original
Mrs. Lawson for public favor. Whether
some one else has the same thing or not
need not be taken into consideration for
the present. When either of you has
enough stock to disseminate the new
variety tlien will be the time to put your
heads together and put it out under' one
name, etc. If the other party has a
good stock now and can put it out before
you have any quantity it will save you
from buying any at "least. So if you
have a good thing, hold on to it.

A. F, J, Baur,

THE PRESS BUREAU.

Tliat bureau for the dissemination of
trade information through the daily
l'a(.crs seems largely superfluous; all
that is needed is a Munchhausen to talk
to the Associated Press correspondent.
<iiven a sufficiently large story, he will

or 12 's in July, and stood outdoors till
the summer crop has been removed at the
end of August. If it is to be a perma-
nent plantation, to last from five to seven
years, then about the same date they are
planted in beds in the greenhouse or in
patent troughs. The rows run length-
ways and not transversely in the houses,
the width of the rows apart being deter-
mined by the hot water pipes. Gener-
ally they are planted in double rows, the
])lants being nine inches apart, and the
rows three and one-half to four feet.
Within two or three inches of the crowns
of the plants, foot-wires are run the
length of the rows, four of these being
considered the correct number for a
double row. Six feet aVjove these, secured
to the tie-beams, there run another set
of similar wires, and from the lower
set to the upper set, sufficient threads
are run to accommodate the number of
trails sent up by the plants.

1 might have said a word as to soil,
but I will say it now. A good porous
and friable soil is necessary, though this
needs pressing firmly; but the principal
thing is an adequate drainage, so thtit
the soil may be kept sweet and whole-
some. Deficiencies in this respect mean
failure, the foliage turning pale and
speedily falling from the stem, render-
ing the trail unsalable.

The main points in its cultivation may
be summarized as follows:

The temperature must be fairly equa-
ble, ranging from (50 to 70 degrees be-
fore JNlichaelmas, this being mostly sun
heat, and from 55 to (50 degrees through-
out the winter.

purohaf^er of the high priced flower, denied yes-
terday that he had bought it, saying the price i
!!sked for it — $35,000 — is exorbitant, but he ad-
mitted that efforts had been made by his Joliet
acents to purchase the flower, and they may
secure It j^et, although they will not pay $35,000
for it.

As a matter of fact the Chicago Ca» j

nation Co. did buy Aristocrat. The price

is not stated but is understood to have

approximated .$10,000, the ])rice the

same firni states it paid for Fiancee.

Ginna Duke of Marlborough, Edged Buttercup.

GOOD CANNAS.

The accompanying illustrations show
two beds of cannas from photographs
made last season for the Conard & Jones
Co. In one bed is Miagara, one of i
the richest of the gilt-edged kinds. The
petals are broader than in Gloriosa and
the flowers finer in every way. The Con-
ard & Jones Co. considers it one of the
best of tlie dwarf kinds.

The second bed contains Duke of
^Marlborough in the center and Butter-
cup about the outside edge. Kobert
Pyle, secretary of the company, says:
*'Wc know of no more brilliant contrast

methods adopted, one being to grow it as
a permanent crop, the other utilizing it
as a winter crop, between the summer
crops of tomatoes or melons. In the lat-
ter case, young plants are raised from
seed every year, and are thrown to the
rubbish heap when done with. A span
greenhouse with high side lights is the
best adapted, a lean-to, or a span with
low sides being too wasteful, the object
being to produce trails six feet in length.
The seeds are sown in early autumn,
:tnd for nearly a year are grown on just
as English nurserymen would grow any
young plants, and it is not till plant-
ing time that any particular interest at-
taches to them. By midsummer tiiey
have made nice bushy ])lants, well estab-
lished in 60 's. If the crop is to be an an-
nual one. these iiiniits arc put into 8 's

The daily admission of fresh air to
harden the foliage, so that it will stand
after cutting and not quickly wilt.

A daily syringing except on unfavor-
able days in midwinter.

Shading against very brilliant sunshine
in late summer and spring.

Constant attention to ])reveiit trails in-
terlacing, giving one trail to one thread.

Rigorously pinching back all puny
growths to throw the strength into the
stronger trails.

To pinch all trails directly the limit of
the top Avires is reached, so as to encour-
age supplemental foliage to develop at
every eye.

WHien a fully grown trail is stopped, it
takes about a fortnight to harden. Then
when fit, the trail with the thread at-
tached is cut down just below the foot-

llireads are immediately put to fill the
\acancics created, these, if the plants are
aoing ^vell, needing to be renewed three
,ir four times during the season,

Smilax ranges in price from one to two
-iiillings per bunch; sometimes, if well
iiunished, reaching two shilling six-
pence, but a fair average is one shilling
sixpence per bunch. The season lasts
nom October till May, and where perma-
lent crops are grown, they go on till
-lune, when they are forced to take a
rest. By October, all is ready again for
another round. Such, roughly and briefly,
;? the method of cultivation here of this
probably the most charming of all the '
.leoorativo cut foliage plants.

New Houses of Pike's Peak Floral Co., Colorado Springs.

A COLORADO PLANT.

The accompanying illustrations show
two views of the new establishment of
the Pike's Peak Floral Co., Wm. Henry
Evans, manager. They have during the
past few months added some 25,000
square feet of glass to their place, giv-
ing them a total of about 50,000 feet of
glass. This is one of the largest areas of
glass in Colorado and is devoted to the
wholesale business exclusively. The
crops of which they will make a
specialty are carnations, roses, violets,
mums and decorative plants for the holi-
day seasons.

Mr. Evans says that so far as his
knowledge goes his concern is the first in
Colorado to do an exclusive wholesale
trade shipping to the mountain towns and !
into Utah. He considers the prospects ex- j
cellent, as one of the greatest troubles the ,
retail dealers in these places have run
up against has been that near-by firms
from whom they could buy flowers also
did retail business and, naturally, when
business was good at home the outsiders
were the ones to suffer. This difficulty
Mr. Evans proposes to make of advan-
tage to himself by catering to the re-
tailer only, giving him the selection of
the best stock on hand.

The new range of houses is of modern
construction and very similar to the style
of Peter Keinberg's houses at Chicago;
seven foot gutters; no partition where
the same kind of plants are grown. The
plan was worked out after a thorough
study of the different methods and ideas
used around Chicago by Mr. l^vans, who
spent a week or more visiting the Chi-
cago establishments. The roof material
and ventilating apparatus were supplied
by the J. C. Moninger Co.

ularity for "work." Hero is a dis-
tinctly novel and commendable use for
«niall plants of boxwood. Among the
best selling specialties at C. A. Samuel-
son's, Chicago, for Christmas were box,
say twelve to eighteen inches higli,
planted in round jars of Bayersdorf er 's
Pompeiian ware, with a red ribbon tied
in the lower branches of the plant so as
to in a measure fill in the space of stem.
These made especially attractive speci-
mens. The cost was small and they
might have been sold at a profit at ^i
each had it not been for the cost of
delivery at holiday time. Mr. Samuel-
son said he had only twenty-five of tiiese,
but wished he had 200.

THE IDEAL EMPLOYEE.

[This is a letter recently printed iind circu-
lated among the employees of Marshall Field
& Co., Chicago.]

In answer to your question, "What do
you consider essential elements of suc-
cess for young men standing upon the
threshold of a business career?" 1
would say first, a young man should
carefully consider what his natural bent
or inclination is, be it business or pro-
fession; in other words, take stock of
liimself and ascertain if possible what he
is best adapted for, and endeavor to get
in that vocation with as few changes as
possible. Having entered upon it, then
let him pursue the work in hand with
diligence and a determination to know
it thoroughly, which can be done only
by close and enthusiastic application of
the powers at his command; let him
strive to master its details, and put into
it an energy directed by strong common
sense, so as to make his services of
value wherever he is; and then let him
be alert and ready to seize opportunities
whenever they present themselves.

The trouble with most young men is
that they do not learn anything thor-
oughly, and are apt to do the work com-

mitted to tliem in a careless manner; for-
getting that what is worth doing at all
is worth doing well, they become mere
drones and rely upon chance to bring
them success. The business world is full
of just such young men, content in
i-imply putting in their time somehow
and drawing tiieir salaries; making no
effort whatever to increase their effi-
ciency, and thereby enhance their own
as well as their employer's interest.
There are others who want to do what
they are not fitted for, and waste their
lives in what may be called misfit occu-
pations; far better be a good carpenter
or mechanic of any kind tlmn a poor
business or professional man,

Next to the selection of occupation is
that of companions. Particularly is this
important in the case of young men be-
ginning their career in strange cities
away from home influence, for it too
often happens that young men of excel-
lent abilities are ruined by evil asso-
ciates, A young man therefore cannot
too early guard against forming friend-
ship with those whose tendency is to lead
iiim on the downward path. To every-
young man I would say, seek at the start
to cultivate the acquaintance of those
only whose contact and influence will
kindle high purposes, as I regard the
building up of a sterling character one
of the fundamental principles of true
success. The young man possessing a
conscience that cannot brook the slight-

' est suspicion of wrongdoing, and which
insists on steadfast and undeviating

J truthfulness, sturdy honesty, and strict

; devotion to duty under all circumstances,
has a fortune to begin with. The ability
to restrain appetite, passions, tongue,

: and temper, to bo their master and not
their slave, in a word, absolute self-con-
trol, is also of first importance; one who

1 cannot govern himself is unfitted to gov-

I ern others.

The Weekly Florists^ Review^

December 28, 1906.

Economy is one of the most essential
elements of success, yet most wretchedly
disregarded. The old adage, ' ' Wilful
waste makes woeful want, ' ' never was
more fully exemplified than in these days
when much of the want that now pre-
vails would not exist had care been taken
in time of prosperity to lay up something
for a * * rainy day. ' ' The average young
man of today wBen he begins to earn is
soon inclined to habits of extravagance
and wastefulness; gets somehow imbued
with the idea that, irrespective of what
he earns, he must indulge in habits cor-
responding to those of some other young
man; or imagines he cannot be manly
without such indulgences. The 5, 10 or
15 cents a day that is squandered, while
a mere trifle apparently, if saved, would
in a few years amount to thousands of
dollars, and go far towards establishing
the foundation of a future career. Too
few realize that in order to acquire the
dollars, one must take care of the
nickels. Careful saving and careful
spending invariably promote success.

It has been well said that it is not
what a man earns, but what he saves,
that makes him rich. John Jacob Astor
said that the saving of the first thousand
dollars cost him the hardest struggle. As
a rule, people do not know how to save.
I deem it of the highest importance,
therefore, to impress upon every young
man the duty of beginning to save from
the moment he commences to earn, be it
ever so little; a habit so formed in early
life will prove of incalculable benefit to

manage a large income or run success-
fully a large business. It matters not
what a man's income is, reckless ex-
travagance and waste will sooner or later
bring him to ruin.

A young man should aim to be manly
and self-reliant, make good use of all his
spare moments, read only wholesome
books, and study to advance his own in-
terests as well as those of his employer
in every possible way.

As a rule, the young man of high prin-
ciples and fair ability, who saves his
money and keeps his habits good, be-
comes valuable in any concern; but as
volumes have been written upon this sub-
ject it is not possible in a letter to cover
it all. By following out these sugges-
tions, however, aiming constantly to pre-
pare himself for a higher place instead
of waiting for something to turn up,
every young man will succeed to a more
or less degree. I would not have him be-
lieve, however, that success consists sole-
ly in the acquisition of wealth — far from
it — as that idea is much too prevalent
already. The haste to become rich at the
expense of character prevails to an
alarming extent and cannot be too se-
verely denounced. What is needed today
more than anything else is to instil into
the minds of our young the desire above
all else to build up a character that will
win the respect of all with whom they
may come in contact, and which is vastly
more important than a great fortune. I
quote on this matter the following from
the will of a senator, who died recently:

Chrysanthemum Rosiere.

him in after years, not only in the
amount acquired, but in the exercise of
economy in small affairs, which will in-
form and train his mind for larger duties
that may devolve upon him. It goes
without saying that a man who is not
competent to manage well a small in-
come, or run successfully a small busi-
ness, cannot be expected to properly

"I hope my sons will defer to and con-
fide in my executors and trustees, and
above all, that they may realize early in
life that the only one thing more difficult
to build up than an independent fortune,
and more easily lost, is character, and
that the only safeguards of character are
the Ten Commandments and Christ's
Sermon on the Mount."

CHRYSANTHEMUM ROSIERE.

Chrysanthemum Kosiere is a seedling
of Opah crossed Mrs. Coombes. It was
exhibited before the C. S. A. committees
by Nathan Smith & Son as No. 12-11-03.
Elmer D. Smith is very enthusiastic over
Rosiere. He says that ''while it has
been our good fortune to offer some very
choice commercial varieties to the trade,
we believe that Rosiere is the most valu-
able since we introduced Monrovia, the
leader among early yellows." The
blooms are large, seven and one-half to
eight inches in diameter, and are very
similar to Viviand-Morel in form, but
deeper and more double. In color, it is
a deep rose pink, never fading, a char-
acteristic fault of most early pinks. It
has the heavy foliage and dwarf habit
of Mrs. Coombes. If the early bud is
taken (crown bud August 20 to 25 is
best) it will not exceed two and one-
half feet in height, and many plants
were but two feet the past season, with
foliage to the ground. It is a good
shipper, being of excellent substance and
not sensitive to rough handling. The
blooms are ready to cut October 10, a
time when a good pink is scarce.

STORIES I HAVE HEARD.

I HEARD a story once of a florist who
had a customer who frequently bought
flowers, some of which were to be de-
livered to his wife and some to another
woman — not his wife. One day he or-
dered two dozen carnations sent to his
wife and two dozen cattleyas sent to
the other woman. Through the error
of a clerk the orchids were sent to the
customer's wife. The next day the man
called on the florist and made a hot talk
punctuated with five-fanged abuse.

In the midst of this effort the florist
perceived with relief that a lady was
entering and called the man's attention
to this fact, whereopon he subsided for
the moment. The lady looked around
and seeing the man said suddenly,
"Why, George, you're not here to buy
more orchids, are youl I know it was
dear of you to send me such lovely
flowers, but I would appreciate some-
thing less expensive just as much. I
came in for some violets and you may
get them for me if you wish."

The man rose to the occasion and with
the air of the devoted husband bought
the violets and went out with his wife.
The florist felt a great relief and later
became quite satisfied with himself after
he had got hold of the clerk that made
the blunder and repeated to him as an
original composition the gilt-edged abuse
he had received from the customer. He
thought the incident closed and even had
a daydream to the effect that the send-
ing of the orchids to the wife might be
the means of bringing the man to see
the error of his ways, as such incidents
always do in the magazine storiettes.
But, alas, no. The customer quit, the
clerk quit. The wife also quit, because
the flowers her husband now sent came
from another store. And soon the florist
learned that the clerk was now employed
in the store to which the customer
changed. The clerk who made the blun-
der that caused all the trouble and loss
to the florist, was still serving the cus-
tomer, though of course the latter was
unaware of the fact.

I HEARD a story once of a florist who
was showing some visiting friends

through the Liberal Arts building of
ji (Treat exposition in his city. He was
much taken with a pair of handsome jar-
.liiiieres in one exhibit. "They would
l^,e just the thing for a display of gladi-
olus flowers in my windows. They have
;, 'for sale' tag on. Wait a minute,
please, till I inquire the price." The
wait lasted less than a minute. He re-
loined his friends and walked on without
saying a word. "Well, how much were
tl/ey?" asked one, "Oh, only $750
.Tpiece, " was the dejected response.

* * *

I HEARD a story once of a grower who
tailed on a retailer and much to his sur-
prise found him penned in a corner
fiehind the ice-box by an athletic young
man in fashionable attire. At first he
lliought it must be a hold-up — in fact it
uas, but not for filthy lucre. When
the young man became aware of the
iirower's presence he permitted the re-
tailer to emerge and took his depar-
ture.

"What the deuce was he trying to do
to you?" said the grower. "Oh, he
wanted me to tell him who was sending
flowers to his girl. He had seen my
tag on the boxes. But he didn't get it.
It's my business to sell all the flowers
T can — and keep my mouth shut. But,
say, he pushed me pretty hard and I'm
glad you came in when you did. ' '

* # »

I HEARD a story once of a florist who
had been appointed chairman of a com-
mittee to look for new quarters for the
Florists' Club of his city. In making
his report he attempted a few oratorical
effects, stating in substance that the
committee had failed to find a better
location than the present one and con-
cluded with these words : * ' Therefore,
Mr. President, I move that we continue
to meet here permanently for the pres-
ent." This gem was greeted by tre-
mendous applause, which was prolonged
and intensified when he bowed his ac-
knowledgments and sat down with an ex-
pression of face indicative of great sat-
isfaction with his oratorical powers.
« « «

I HEARD a story once of a florist who
participated in a discussion at a meet-
ing of his Florists' Club. Certain society
ladies were to be selected as patronesses
of an exhibition.. He pointed out the
clanger of making up a list without full
knowledge of the many cliques of which
society is composed. * ' For, gentlemen, ' '
said he, "the ladies of these different
cliques detest each other most cordially. ' '
This struck the members as a clever bit
of satire and there was considerable
laughter and applause, which changed
into a roar when the speaker turned red
and sat down in high dudgeon.

Fred Burki.

A LEADING PITTSBURGER.

Fred Burki was born in 185S, in Can-
ton Bern, Switzerland, one of a family
of seven children, of an aggressive, pros-
perous farmer. Fred was left an orphan
at 11 years of age, an aunt taking him
to live with her. At the age of 14 he
had his little garden and decided to
learn the florists' trade. He received a
good education and v.hon 1(5 years old
apprenticed himself with the most prom-
inent gardener in tiie city of Pern, Fred
Bratchy, whose youngest S(m is now :i
landscape architect there.

After serving three years with Mr.
Bratchy, the energetic lad came to I'itts-
burg, in February, 1872, securing em-
ployment in John R. & A, M, Murdoch 's
greenhouses. After working with this
firm, at several private places, and a
short time in New Jersey, he started
in business with Fred Wahn, at ]\loore 's
place in Allegheny, in October, 1S74.
They had four small houses for bedding
stock for spring sale. The following
year he bought his partner's interest
and carried on the business.

Mr. Burki was married in 1877 to
Miss Pfeifer, who was a great lover of
flowers and came to be highly esteemed
by the craft and flower buying public.
In 1878 they moved to a small place in
Bellevue, then a suburb of about 500
inhabitants, growing bedding plants and
such cut flowers as carnations, bouvardia,
heliotrope, pansies, etc. ; also vegetable
plants, especially celery. Mr. Burki was
the first man about Pittsburg to bleach
celery with boards instead of bank-
ing up.

In 1884 he bought eight acres of wild
land at Bellevue, most of it steep hill-
side, on which he built three green-
houses, dwelling, barn, etc. The green-
houses kept increasing, looking as if
they were tacked to the sides of the steep
rocks. In 1890 he disposed of his stand

in the Allej>heny market and built more

greenhouses and started to grow roses

and carnations for the trade, taking

them to the city stores in baskets by

train, later by wagon, when his nicely

kept wagon and spanking team of grays

I were to be seen in front of the flower

stores every morning for several years.

j At the Pittsburg chrysanthemum shows

I in 1891 and 1892 he carried off most of

i the first prizes with his roses, carnations

I and chrysanthemums, lie secured stock

j of Ivory, Bonnaft'on and Maud Dean

I when they were disseminated and for

! some years grew Hector and Mrs. Fisher

, carnations to perfection. He was the

! first grower about Pittsburg to use 24-

j inch glass and to use natural gas for

! fuel.

In 1893 Mr. Burki lost his faithful
wife and helpmeet, who died of rheuma-
tism after several years of suffering.
They had no children. He was almost
discouraged, but he took a trip to his
native land, -and on his return started
in and made rapid progress with his
business, and married his present wife
in 1895. He continued building green-
houses on the hillside until he had thirty-
six, the floor of one house being level
with the ridge of the one below it. The
purchase of eight acres of adjoining land
secured frontage on the most prominent
thoroughfare, and he built a handsome
brick residence and a dwelling for his
single employees.

In 1898 Mr. Burki organized the
Pittsburg Cut Flower Co., with W. A.
("larke and T. P. Tjxnghans as associates,
consigning all his cut to that wholesale
house ever since. In 1901 he bought
Crystal Farm, 210 acres near Bakerstown
station, P. & W. K. R., eighteen miles
from Allegheny. He incorporated the
Pittsburg Rose & Carnation Co., asso-
ciating with him some of his employees,
and built large greenhouses, some of
them 50x450 feet. He started to move

his glijss from Bellcvuo, where lio was
troubled with smoke from the faetorieH
whidi were {^rowing into the iieighbor-
hood, all to tiie Crystal Farm, where the
company now has 160,000 square feet in
twelve liousos, fourteen dwellings for
employees, several gas wells furnishing
fuel, and two oil wells. Mr. and Mrs.
Burki witii their family of four children
live now at Crystal Farm. His liold-
ings in this company are about $140,-
000 and his j)laee in BcUevue, which he
still owns, tiiougli the greenhouses are
removed, luis become very valuable, as a
residence locality. Besides these he has
other investments.

Mr. Burki is a man whose ,iudgment
is sought on nil matters pertaining to
the business ; however, he is of a modest
disposition to a fault. He is a charter
member of the Pittsburg and Allegheny
Florists' and Gardeners' Club, a member
of the American Carnation Society and
a life member of the S. A. F. He at-
tends most of their meetings.

THE BIRCH-BARK STORE.

The accomiTanying illustrations are
from photographs taken at The Rosary,
New York, J. H. Troy, manager. During
the past season the store has been com-
pletely refitted, inside and out, and every
part both inside and out, except that
occupied by glass, has been covered with
light birch-bark. The effect is not only
out of the ordinary, but it is very pleas-
ing. There are few stores in New York
City which have attracted more favor-
able comment than the Bosary since it
was decked up in its new attire.

GROWING CROPS UNDER GLASS.

[A paper by B. T. Galloway. Chief of the
Bureau of Plant Industry, reprinted from the
Yearbook of the Department of Agriculture,
where It was one of sevfral papers under tht;
general head, "Opportunities In Agriculture."]

With the rapid growth of population
and the s-hifting of industrial centers
there have been constant charges in ag-
ricultural practices. A study of the

most closely allied with the factory. No
country can continue to be prosperous
where agriculture is the sole dependence,
nor can any country hope to be inde-
pendent and enjoy the best fruits of its
industry where manufacturing consti-
tutes the chief source of wealth. The
farm and the factory must go side by
side in order to bring about the greatest
progressive, intellectual and industrial
development.

Within the last decade there has been
an enormous increase in our manufactur-
ing interests, so that it is not surprising
to find that the output from the factory
now constitutes sixty-five per cent of our
annual production of wealth. A study
of the figures presented to us in the an-
nual reports of the Department of Agri-
culture and other branches of the Gov-
ernment dealing with statistical matters
shows that coincident with the develop-
ment of factories in a community there
has been a corresponding increase in the
value of farms and farm lands, as well
as of the products of the farm. The
great era of manufacturing upon which
this country is now entering is bound to
have a beneficial effect upon agriculture,
for aside from the great possibilities of
agricultural development alone, without
reference to other industries, it is clear
that as factories continue to increase in
number and enlarge their output, agri-
culture must necessarily grow to meet
these conditions.

Probleois for American Farmer.

Nearly all the best arable land of the
country has now been taken up, and
those who are most vitally concerned
with soil production realize that hence-
forward the main problem for the man
who intends to make cultivation of the
soil his occupation will be not so much
a question of great acreage as of greater
production from a given acre. If Ameri-
ca hopes to continue her phenomenal de-
velopment, she must be able to produce
not orly the enormous quantities of food

Interior of the Rosary, New York.

world's history shows that while agri-
culture has been, and will continue to
be, the primary basis of wealth, it has
reached its highest development whtre

required for her own increasing indus-
trial population, but a large share of the
food for other nations as well.

The average production of wheat in

this country is little more than twelve
bushels per acre; for corn, the average
production is twenty-five and one-half
bushels per acre; for oats and barley, the
average production is twenty-eight and
twenty-six bushels per acre, respectively.
During the past thirty years there has
been a constant variation of these aver-
ages for different parts of the country.
In the great grain-producing areas of the
west the average has been decreasing.
In certain sections of the east, on the
other hand, the average has been grow-
ing higher. The important work carried
on by this department, as well as by the
state experiment stations, is doing much
to bring about larger yields from a giv-
en acreage. A study of agricultural sta-
tistics, especially for the past twenty
years, will show that where states and
state authorities have been active in ag-
ricultural propaganda work, and where
the experiment stations and colleges have
paid marked attention to the farms and
farmers' interests, there has been a ma-
terial benefit, manifested by new methods
of crop production, new industries and
diversification, and marked improvement
in the value of the crop for a given area.
Recognizing, therefore, the necessity
for greater diversifications and greater
production per acre, the question arises,
in what manner can this result best be
brought about? With the increasing
growth of our cities and the accumula-
tion of great numbers of people in com-
paratively small areas, with the exten-
sion of railroads, telephone and telegraph
systems, rural free -delivery, and trolley
lines, there will be an increasing de-
mand for many agricultural products
which must of necessity be grown by
intensive methods; that is, such products
will be of a more or less perishable na-
ture, and for this reason they will have
to be grown comparatively close to where
they are to be consumed.

This necessarily gives rise to another
proposition, namely, that to grow crops
close to the point of consumption re-
quires their production on land in the
immediate vicinity of cities and towns,
the value of which is greatly above that
of the average farm lands. The more
valuable the land the greater the need
for economizing every foot of it and the
greater the need for thorough knowledge
of all the factors governing plant growth.
The population of twenty of our larg-
est eastern cities and their contributory
territory will aggregate 15,000,000 peo-
ple. Both population and wealth are
constantly increasing, and in consequence
there is a growing demand for something
more than the mere necessities of life.
Fruit, flowers, and vegetables are needed
to meet the requirements of life, and
these, to be furnished at their best, must
be grown for the most part close at hand
and produced in such a way that the
largest return can be secured from a giv-
en area of land with a minimum risk. To
accomplish this result it must be prac-
ticable to control to a large extent cli-
mate, soil, moisture, temperature, and,
in a measure, light. The only way this
can be done successfully and practically
is through the medium of glass houses.

A few years ago structures of this
kind were looked upon more or less gen-
erally as a means for supplying the
tables of a comparatively few wealthy
private individuals or to serve for the
growing of ornamental plants which had
no strictly economic value. At the pres-
ent time this view of the subject is rap-

(lijit in many respects it is a factory,
,,iijizing nature's forces in a way to
|. \,^ise the seasons for the purpose of
, , iiverting into wealth the products of

f'i(^ soil.

What are the possibilities in this field,
;iii,l what are the steps in beginning a
\,ijik which, of necessity, must be of tiio
iiMSt intensive kind?

The Man First.

There is a great deal being said and
written at this tim« about farming as a
Mication. Many inducements are being
lield out to city people and others, and
many erroneous statements are being
made as to the opportunities in this field.
Tnquestionably, there is need for point-
ing out the advantages of rural life, but,
like all good things, the tendency some-
limes is to carry the argument too far,
.ind this results in inducing many people
to go into the country or to undertake
farm life who are wholly unfitted for the
work. The city man is often misled
by statements written by those who are
not thoroughly conversant with the facts,
and, again, by those who have interests
at stake and who w^ould directly benefit
hy inducing the prospective farmer to
invest in land. It would seem well,
therefore, to caution the reader on this
one point and to lay before him plainly
the facts in reference to some of the
more important requirements in the mat-
ter of undertaking the lines of work to
which we shall refer farther on.

In such intensive work as must neces-
sarily be carried on in connection with
the growing of plants under glass, it is
essential that the man who is proposing
to undertake it should be in the prime of
life. It is not work for men beyond
middle age, nor is it work for men with
weak constitutions. "While the work is
not necessarily heavy, it is of such a na-
ture as to require strict attention, and
while it is for the most part in the open
air and therefore not as likely to bring
oil certain diseases as the case of other
more confining occupations, it frequently
happens that exposure is required, and
-neh exposure can only be borne by men
"f" comparatively strong constitutions.

In addition to the foregoing, those
who tire contemplating work of this na-
ture must or should have a thorough
Inisiuess training. More failures result
Horn lack of good business capacity in
'liis field than from all other reasons
'"Hibined. It frequently happens that a
man may be successful in growing crops
• nid in getting them into good condition
I'lr marketing, but through lack of
knowledge or lack of ability to appre-
'iate the main fafts with reference to
'!ie commoreial haridlirg of his jirodui-ts
!ie fails.

As a further necessity in this work,
it should be pointed out that some ex-
i'frience is required — the more expe-
iience, of course, the better. It is not
■<lways practicable for a man contem-
i'lating entering a field of this nature
to have had experience in intensive lines
^'f horticultural work. If he cannot get
't by direct practice, he should spare no
<^^ffort to find out all he can as to what

others are doing; visit those who are
engaged in the business; secure the va-
rious works that have been published on
the subject ; consult the experiment sta-
tion reports; and familiarize himself in
every way with what the world is doing
in this field. If he will do this, and if
he is a man of keen perception and ob-
servation, he will soon be able in a
measure to manage his own affairs.

So much, therefore, for the man. The
fields that are open may be considered
under several heads: General plant grow-
ing; special fields, as vegetable growing
and fiower growing; and then the ultra-
special fields, as specialization with cer-
tain crops, such as roses, carnations, or
violets.

General Plant Growing.

The fii^ld of general plant growing
probably offers more opportunities than
any of the others; that is, opportunities
for a greater number of peoj)Ie. In the
vicinity of every town or city having a
poj.ula'tion of from 3,000 to 10,000 there
may be found in most cases good open-
ings for the ambitious and progressive
young man who desires to supply a home
market with general crops which may be
grown partly under glass and partly in
a very intensive way out of doors. The
demand in toAvns and cities of this size,
of course, is not for any great quantity
of any one thing; hence, the necessity
for producing a variety, as ornamental
plants for use in home yards, plants for
cut flowers, vegetables, etc. — a general
miscellaneous stock.

In work of this nature it is essential

that the location selected be within easy
reach of the business limits of the city,
for the grower will have to depend large-
ly for his trade on those who may visit
his establishment. Such being the case,
land must be secured, if practicable,
within easy access of those who may wish
to vis^it the place as prospective buyers.

For an ordinary establishment of this
nature half an acre of ground is suf-
ficient for a small start. An acre woidd
be better. Due attention must be given
to the location with respect to soil, water
facilities, and opportunities for secur-
ing fuel and other essential things re-
quired in general work. In most cases
half an acre of ground under such cir-
cumstancos can be bought for $.')00. To
equip properly a small greenhouse would
re(juire anollier $.500. For miscellaneous
equipment, including tools, outbuildings,
an<l stock, $:i00 would be necessary for a
htart. Tliu.^. there would be invested in
the neighborhood of $1,200. If the man
himself wislied to live at the place, as he
should do, it would probablv require
from $800 to $1,000 for a home". In |.ro.
ducing a variety of crops, as indicated
a))ove, the gross income from such a
place should be at least $1,200 pt r aii-
num. Practically all the work on sucli
a place could be done by the oAvner, w itli
some little assistance from time to time
in spring and fall.

The crops handled should be a general
assortment of bedding plants, a sninll
collection of ornamentals — such as palms,
ferns, etc., which could be sold as pot
plants — and carnations, roses, chrysan-
themums, ( tc., for cut flowers during the

winter. A considerable portion of this
work can be clone out of doors, the plan
being to lave the outdoor crops grown
in such a way as to harmonize with the
plans for inside work. Of course, a defi-
nite systeJii must be followed, and this
system will in a measure depend on local
conditions. A few hotlx>ds and cold
frames will acid materially to tlie possi-
bilities of such an establishment and will
allow the owner to increase his stock
couhiderably, especially of spring bed-
ding plants, which may be started earlier
in the greenhouses and then moved to
the frames outside as the si'ason ad-

vances.

(To be continued. »

PIPING TOMATO HOUSE.

I am Imilding a greenhouse, 25x68,
north wall four feet, soutli wall three
feet, ridge ten feet. The sides will
have raised Ijenches, the center solid
beds. I wisli to grow tomatoes. How
much pii)ing will be required in zero
weather, and how would you locate the
pipes? I have on hand KiO feet of
2-inch, 230 feet of li/o-inch, ninety-eight
feet of 2 I/O -inch and 4(50 feet of 1^4-
inch pipe. W. H. O.

The house you have ' designed to be
used for to:natoes or roses should be
provided Avith about 580 square feet of
radiation. If this house were being
erected under my supervision, to be used
for tomatoes. 1 should have the center
benches raised about six inches off the
ground and ii eating pipes arranged
under the benches, which should be pro-
vided to carry eight inches of soil. If
you do not care to use this plan, then
place a liberal amount of radiation under
each side bench; say, four li/.-inch pipes
supplied by one 2-inch pipe under the
south beucli and under the north bench
seven liA-im-h pipes supplied by one
2-inch pipe. Use tiie remaining pipe,
together with KiO feet of 2-inch pipe
in addition, beneath a slatted walk ar-
ranged between the solid beds, or, if
this is n( t desirable, arrange the pipes
on the planks used to retain the soil of
the solid beds in place.

If llie first suggestion of raising the
middle beds six inches is not desirable,
jilace the pipes under a tight or slatted
walk between the solid beds and lay a
2-inch agricultural tile every three feet
across the beds, with the open ends of
the tiles entering the space occupied by
the heating pipes beneath the Avalks and
terminating in the center of the beds in
an upright tile which shall act as a
chimney to draw the heated air through
the tile. The pipe you have, if all used.

will supply about 480 feet of radiation,
which is about 100 feet less than should
be used. The additional 100 feet can
be provided by using 100 feet of 2-inch
pipe, as suggested. L. C. C.

TWO INCHES SINGLE.

Ketail florists are gradually awaken-
ing to the fact that even a little adver-
tising is a great help to business. On
t'.ie opposite page are shown a number
of advertisements recently published in
local papers by retail florists. Each
advertisement occupied two inches sin-
gle column. This amount of space is
not costly in any newspaper and when
well handled it is sufficient to have a
very appreciable effect on business.
These advertisements are not reproduced
as examples of what retailers ' advertise-
ments should be, but rather to show what
retailers are doing. Some of the adver-
tisements are very good, but none of
them which does not quote a price is,
in the judgment of experienced advertis-
ing men, as good as it would be if a
price Avere quoted. Advertising men
everywhere agree that to get the most
prompt and fullest return from an ad-
vertisement it should not only describe
a seasonable article but should state the
price.

This is the time for making good reso-
lutions for 1906. Each one of those
who do retail selling should do a cer-
tain amount of advertising continuously
through the year. It is keeping ever-
lastingly at it that brings success. A
two-inch advertisement every day in the
year is better than a two-page adver-
tisement for one insertion. Make a con-
tract with your best local paper for a
small space in each issue and then see
to it that the advertisement is kept
fresh. Do not let it run for Aveeks
without a change. Quote a price.

A NEW IOWA PLANT.

The firm of Hall Bros, started in busi-
ness in Osage, la., about eighteen years
ago and continued until the fall of 1901,
when the senior member turned the busi-
ness OAcr to Walter S. Hall, the junior
partner, Avho has run it CAer since, at the
old place until this summer, when the old
houses were all torn doAvn and moved into
the center of the city and rebuilt as
shown in the accompanying illustration.
The ])lant is heated by a sixty horse-
power steam boiler, with a Morehead
traj) to take care of the condensation.
Carnations and roses are the principal
crops.

Mr. Hall makes as much of his an-
nual fall opening as does the wisest ad-

vertiser in any other line. He gives a
chrysanthemum show about the middle
of Novemoer to which he succeeds in at-
tracting a large part of the population
of his city — and he always has an exhi-
bition worth their time.

GOLDEN KING HOLLY.

The varieties of the common holly are
many, and include some of our most
beautiful evergreen shrubs. Very many
are worthy of inclusion in all good gar-
dens on account of their highly orna-
mental foliage, whether green or varie-
gated. Throughout the dull season of
the year those hollies which fruit freely
are objects of much beauty, either a«
single specimens on the grass, or in
company with the other shrubbery occu-
pants, and no variety is more conspicu-
ous than the subject of this note. The
foliage of Golden King during the
spring and summer months is extremely
beautiful, being large and very broadly
margined Avith a golden variegation,
while the bright red berries are produced
with such profusion that a most pleas-
ing contrast in color is provided. This
holly was only placed before the public
a few years ago, and there are probably
very few, if any, large specimens to be
seen yet, but it is a free grower, of
shapely habit and will undoubtedly find
a place in the gardens of those who art;
desirous of beautifying them with the
best evergreen shrubs. — Gardeners' Mag-
azine.

CESPEDESIA DISCOLOR.

Cespedesias are seldom encountered in
America, although it is a South Amer-
ican genus, probably for the reason that
the plants have little value commer-
cially except to such firms as make a
business of supplying plants for large
private collections. The genus is one
of few species. The name is derived
from that of Juan Cespedes, a priest of
Santa Fe de Bogota and the date of
introduction to Europe is given as late
as 1878. Cespedesia discolor was re-
cently shown before the Eoyal Horticul-
tural Society in England and was
awarded a first-class certificate. It is
a strikingly ornamental stove plant,
bearing showy yellow flowers in large
panicles. The chief decorative feature
of C. discolor, however, lies in the or-
namental coloration of its young
growth, which is rapidly developed
from terminal buds, the five or six long
drooping lanceolate leaves composing it
being of a pale cinnamon buff, or bis-
cuit color, faintly suffused with rose
and veined with pale yellow, forming a
striking contrast to the dark green of
the mature leaves.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

If you are an out-of-town buyer of
cut flowers, don't complain at anything
you may think a wholesaler "handed"
you last week: Kemember that this mar-
ket was "up against it" as never be-
fore.

Don't complain if you get poor stock;
don't protest at the prices: Kemember
that the stock sent you, almost regard-
less of what it was, could have been sold
to clamoring city buyers at prices well
above advertised rates. Chicago whole-
salers actually lost money by filling or-
ders.

Don't complain if your order was
cut in the effort to make short supplies
go around; don't complain if your order
was late nnd you got nothing at all.
Place your order early next time.

In the wholesale way it was a wonder-
ful Christmas, but far from satisfactory,
save when one looks at nothing but the
money total. Ten days of cold, almost
sunless weather served to make supplies
very much shorter than had been antici-
pated. At the same time orders as-
sumed hitherto unrecorded proportions
and the market was thrown into a state
bordering on demoralization; not the de-
moralization of Thanksgiving, when the
market was overburdened with stock, but
the demoralization consequent upon utter
inability to take anything like the usual
care of valued customers. Supplies were
less than last year in most houses and
the money total of sales larger, which
speaks for better average prices, es-
pecially good prices for the lower grades
of stock. Just what the shortage was it
is hard to say, for many buyers, mindful
of recent holiday experiences, put off
ordering in hopes of lower values. When
they at length sent in an order it was
only to be notified that it could not be
filled, after which the same order showed
up in house after house. Probably four
out of five telegraphic orders turned
down Saturday afternoon had been pre-
viously rejected elsewhere. Nevertheless
it was a shortage more acutely felt than
ever before. The only word which can
be said in extenuation of shortcomings
is that all shippers were more or less
in the same boat.

Naturally there are numerous protests
at prices. It was seldom that a regular
customer was charged above advance
quotations and most houses started out
to fill the orders of their everyday cus-
tomers before they took any of the extra
money offered by those who faced a ne-
cessity. But there is an old story of the
sinister fate of good intentions and,
finding it imperative to cut orders, it is
not strange that a little stock was sold
while the shipping was on to those who
bid above the already high lists. But
growers should not base their anticipa-
tions of returns on the tales of big
prices paid in a few cases. Harry Eowe
paid George Keinberg $18 a dozen for
four dozen Beauties Saturday afternoon,
and there were other sales at this rate,
but that is not a measure of market val-
ues, only an indication of the urgency
of the buyers' requirements. It is the
Fame with other tales of unprecedented
prices.

A number of local retailers were more
grievously disappointed than were the
out-of-town buyers. In most recent holi-
days the market has been weak after
the shipping was over. He was not an

exceptional retailer who thought that
liistory would repeat itself. As a result
quite a few spent Saturday taking orders
and came down town at night to get the
stock to fill them, only to find the mar-
ket bare and no one willing to book
orders against Sunday's receipts. In
Sunday mojning's hustle for stock not
plentiful enough to go around prices
reached their highest. Many retailers
found themselves in the predicament of
having orders they could not get stock
to fill.

As to stock, quality was somewhat im-
paired by the principal factor in reduc-
ing supply. Hoses were of poor color
and many carnations showed the effect
of being brought out by fire heat. A
heavy shortage of carnations had been
anticipated but, strange to tell, in most
houses roses were shorter than carna-
tions. Beauties looked a little while ago
to be the most abundant item but proved
about the shortest; one big grower nce-
ports filling only about twenty-five per
cent of his orders. Evidences of pick-
ling were seen Thursday and Friday,
but none subsequently. Violets moved
as slowly as anything, but shortages in
other items helped them to maintain fair
values, $1.50 to $2 for good New York
stock, and clean up. Such things as
poinsettias, lilies, valley, Romans, mig-
nonette, stevia, etc., frequently lost sight
of at a holiday, brought good averages.
Quite a few mums were seen but not in
demand; their season passes with
Thanksgiving.

In a retail way the holiday is vari-
ously reported. Business was certainly
very heavy, but the cost of cut flowers
hurt the stores in neighborhoods where
price is an object; and inability to get
the grade of goods required was an ob-
stacle in the hightoned stores. Stocks
of plants were larger than usual and
many did more business with these than
with cut stuff. Holly and wreaths sold
about as well as ever, in spite of the
great quantities handled by curbstone
dealers. The best stores made their
wreaths of boxwood instead of holly.
On Sunday the weather turned cold,
down to within 7 degrees of zero, in-
creasing the work and cost of delivery.

Christmas Notes.

John Poehlmann says he doesn't ex-
pect to hear the last of this Christmas
even by the next one, certainly not be-
fore Easter. O. W. Frese says they re-
fused $25 a dozen for Beauties.

W. E. Lynch, at Hunt's, reports sell-
ing violets to the amount of $190 to one
local buyer Saturday morning.

A. L. Eandall Co. received 80,000 vio-
lets Saturday and even larger shipments
Sunday.

Wiet^pr Bros, were fortunate and ex-
ceptional in having better supplies than a
year ago. Christmas made a fine new
record for them.

Phil Schupp, at J. A. Budlong's, is
in a position to say ' * I told you so. ' '
He had steadily predicted a shortage.

C. W. McKellar handled 1,500 cattle-
yas last week, at from $6 to $12 per
dozen.

Wm. Arnold, foreman for George
Keinberg, lost a wager on his Christmas
cut. He backed his ability to cut 10,000
Beauties, counting all lengths, but it was
actually a little over 9,200. A couple
of bright days would have made him a
winner.

This Week.

Of course this week opened with light

receipts — that is always the way after a
holiday, especially one with a shortage.
Business is always good between Christ-
mas and New Year's, with society active
in all parts of the territory supplied by
the Chicago market. Prices will natur-
ally hold firm but a few days of sun have
done much to bring along the buds and
it is only a question of a short time until
cuts will again be large.

Chicago Rose Co.

The Chicago Kose Co. has made a lease
for three years on the ground floor
store and basement at 56-58 Wabash
avenue, to get possession February 1.
A part of the space is to be occupied by
Joseph Ziska, who has manufactured
wire Avork for wholesalers for twenty-
five years, and who will continue. The
rear of the store will be used for the
cut flower department and the front for
supplies. The basement will be used
for storage of stock. John P. Degnan,
secretary and manager of the company,
is now visiting New York and Philadel-
phia to buy the supplies. Staples only
will be carried at first, novelties being
added as the business develops. The
capital stock of the Chicago Rose Co.
is to be increased to take care of the en-
larged business. The greenhouses at
Libertyville are devoted to tea roses
exclusively and consignors are looked to
for other stock.

Miss Sipe to Lecture.

The Horticultual Society of Chica-
go has arranged with Miss Susan B.
Sipe, of Washington, to deliver her lec-
ture on * * School Gardens and Horticul-
tural Training of Public School Chil-
dren" at Fullerton hall, in the Art In-
stitute at 8 p. m., January 3. Miss Sipe
is the lady who made so many friends in
the trade with her address on this sub-
ject before the S. A. F. convention at
Washington last August. No one who
heard her there will fail if he can be
present next Wednesday evening. She
is deserving of a hearty reception and
will no doubt have it.

Silkaline.

At the Flower Growers ' Market, where
they come in contact with many pro-
ducers of smilax, asparagus, etc.,
Vaughan & Sperry do a steady trade in
green thread for stringing these climb-
ers; no one would think of using white
string or even black thread for this mar-
ket. There are several makes of green
thread for this purpose but Vaughan &
Sperry say that the highest priced is the
best seller; that after using Meyer's
Silkaline no one is content with the sub-
stitutes.

Various Notes.

At Chicago, 1905 was a cold year for
the first ten months. At times the de-
ficiency as compared with normal was as
high as 250 degrees, but since October
this has been steadily cut down by mean
temperatures above the normal. On De-
cember 19 the deficiency was overcome,
but it only lasted for a few days and
now it is again colder than normal.
Christmas day was 13 degrees colder than
the average.

Robert Schenk has gone to Youngs-
town, 0., to take charge of the store of
Walker & McLean.

E. C. Amling has been handling the
first tulips of the season, red, with very
good stems for so early.

E. G. Hill went to Texas for a week 's

Mrs. Flint Kennicott has been ill four

the past week.

On Wednesday the daughter of E. G.
Uihlein, president of the Horticultural
Society of Chicago, was married to a
wealthy gentleman from Milwaukee.
The guests from the Cream City came
on a special train and were quartered
at the Auditorium, where the ceremony
was performed, followed by a dinner in
the banquet room. Mr. Uihlein engaged
several floors of the hotel, which cafied
for the largest floral decoration put
up in this city in several years. P. J.
Hauswirth had the order.

E. F. Winterson, in the rush of
Christmas work, fell over a box of ferns
and suftered several bad cuts. It was
impossible for him to stop work, and the
doctor says he will be lucky if no seri-
ous consequences result.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market

The Christmas business in Philadel-
phia bears evidence to the general pros-
perity of the country. The volume of
business exceeded that of any previous
year at this great festival. Prices were
good and the stock left over was very
small. The quality of the stock in gen-
eral was excellent, the general condition
when received indicating that holding
back is not so much practiced as in the

past. There is good reason to believe
that this evil, among progressive grow-
ers at least, has been checked. Briefly
summed up, it was a very satisfactory
Christmas. This result is in no small
measure due to the body of energetic
wholesalers who centraKzed the stock
and broadened the field to an extent not
dreamed of in this city ten years ago.
Immense quantities of flowers went
south, west and even to New York City.
The local demand was brisk. At no
time was the market in danger of break-
ing. Prices were fairly regular.

Beauties, Liberty, Bride and Maid
and red carnations were in heaviest de-
mand. Many more of each could have
been used. Long-stemmed Beauties were
scarcer than the medium and short stei!hs,
keeping the total receipts from this rose
lower than had the fancy stock been as
plentiful as last year. Liberty of the
medium grades was most popular. It is
a question whether the average of qual-
ity is improving. There were many
Maids of poor color, really choice stock
commanding even more than the listed
prices. Red carnations brought about
$1 per hundred more than other colors
of equal grade.

Mignonette, Koman hyacinths. Paper
White narcissi and smilax were poor
sellers, valley — of course an extra heavy
crop, had been forced into bloom — and
white roses sharing somewhat in tne
sluggishness. Poinsettias were freely
used and the supply pretty well ex-
hausted.

Violets were an important factor. The
Marie Louise from Rhinebeck averaged
more than Lady Campbell. Sweet peas
were in better supply than ever before

and brought good money. Orchids were
in moderately good supply. Cattleyas
sold especially well. The first white Ulac
has made its appearance. It did not
create a stir.

Carnations were not by any means in
heavy crop. They were generally fresh
and of good quality. The prices real-
ized were excellent. While Enchantress
brought as high a price as any of
the fancies, the prices on it varied
widely. The variety was not as eagerly
sought as the brighter colors. Medium
grades were most popular. Fancy white
sold well, but ordinary stock of snowy
color required pushing.

Bouvardia was never so plentiful ax
Christmas. The quality was generally
above the average ; despite its perishable
nature it was in demand at good prices.
Easter lilies were in short supply on
Friday, but by Saturday night they were
plentiful. Quite a lot of callas were in
evidence. Bunches of asparagus did not
advance in price, but the purchasing
power of a half dollar decreases in an-
other way.

The plants in bloom and with bright-
colored foliage disappeared from the
stores with wonderful rapidity. Their
charms, enhanced by hampers, ribbons,
baskets, pot covers and what not, they
were simply irresistible. The demand far
exceeded any previous Christmas.

Holiday and New Year prospects are
bright. The market is so bare of stock
that it will take a few days to catch up.
Meanwhile many entertainments will do
something toward keeping up business
activity.

plants and cut fronds of H. H. Battles'

William Tricker, of Narberth, has
some very fine hybrid begonias that are
creating interest among plantsmen.
William K. Harris has seen them. Eob-
ert Craig has seen them. Julius Koehrs
and the junior member of the long well
known firm of Wadley & Smythe came
here expressly to see them. All were
pleased. Mr. Tricker was the first maker
of round balls of Lorraine begonias in
this city.

Gilbert Baker says his father has

Major narcissi at Christmas.

This year's holiday business of M.
Kice & Co. broke all previous records,
the great demand for their immortelle
wreaths and bells cleaned up their entire
stock.

Samuel S, Pennock opened his new
annex on December 21. It was of great
service for the next three days. Mr.
Pennock left for Westerly, K. I., at 7
a. m., Monday to spend Christmas with
his family.

BOSTON.

Christmas Market.

Taking everything into consideration,
the plant and flower trade of the holidays
must once more take rank as the best
ever. There were no sensational prices
realized, but clearance sales from grow-
ers, wholesalers and retailers were very
satisfactory and the volume of business
was considerably larger than in 1904.
The weather on December 23 was dark,
damp and dismal but it did not seem to

affect trade to any considerable extent.
Clear and seasonable conditions pre-
vailed on December 24 and on Christ-
mas day itself.

Plant trade assumes increased propor-
tions each year and the demand this
year was remarkable, some of the lead-
ing retailers being cleared out of azaleas
and Lorraine begonias early on Satur-
day. The three most popular flowering
plants were azaleas, Lorraine begonias
and poinsettias. The first named were
not as well flowered as they might have
been, but were in great demand, the
pretty little Firefly being one of the
leaders. Other flowering plants, includ-
ed cyclamens, ericas, lilacs, freesias,
primulas, bulbous stock and marguerites.
Berried stock sold well. Hollies in tubs,
aucubas, skimmias, ardisias and sola-
nums all were seen in considerable num-
bers. There was a moderate call for
palms, ferns and other foliage plants.
Nephrolepis Barrowsii in 8-inch pans
was a favorite, while large pans of poin-
settias with a Dracaena terminalis in the
center took well. Fern dishes had a flne
sale.

In cut flowers, there was no great sur-
plus of anything and the markets
cleaned out very satisfactorily. Ameri-
can Beauties sold at from $10 per hun-
dred for short stems up to $9 per dozen,
a few extra special making $12. A good
many sold at $50, which was the price
for best Liberty and Richmond, although
a few of these made $8 per dozen. Brides
sold well at a little lower prices. Kil-
lamey, Wellesley, Chatenay, Mrs. Oliver
Ames and Morgan all cleared out well
at prices ranging from $6 to $30 per
hundred. Carnations sold extremely
well. In white, there was some surplus
and late sales were as low as $3, but
many made $4 and some $5. Lawson
and Fair Maid averaged $6, Enchantress
and Helen Goddard $8, Fenn, Manley
and other scarlets and crimsons, $10.
Cardinal and Prosperity made top prices
at $12.50.

Violets did not bring as high prices
as had been hoped for. The best grades
made $1.50, but many went at $1. Sweet
peas sold at $1 to $1.50 per hundred.
Callas were in good demand at $3 a
dozen. Easter lilies averaged $10 per
hundred. Paper Whites and Roman hya-

cinths were unchanged at $2.50 per hun-
dred. These cleared a little better than
usual. A few tulips and Trumpet Major
narcissi were seen. Marguerites white
and yellow were favorites at $1.50 per
hundred. Some very good mignonette
made $12 per hundred, other grades
varying from $4 to $8. Chrysanthemums
were not numerous. A few fine Jeanne
Nonin made $6 per dozen, smaller sizes
from $2 to $4. Poinsettias sold all the
way from $2 to $8 per dozen. Those
at the higher price carried bracts twenty
to tweniy-two inches across. Cypripe-
dium insigne was abundant at $8 to $10
per hundred. Few cattleyas were seen.
A few Vanda cserulea and Phalaenopsis
amabilis were the only other orchids
seen.

Stevia was over-abundant at 20 cents
to 25 cents per bunch. Double pink
bouvardia sold well at 50 cents per
bunch. Euphorbia Jacquiniaeflora, wall-
flowers, myosotis, antirrhinums and lilac
were seen in small quantities. Asparagus
Sprengeri and plumosus sold well, but
smilax was druggy. Trade in laurel
wreaths, holly, mistletoe and other
Christmas greens broke all records.

Christmas Notes.

Thomas Roland, the Nahant wizard,
sold bunches of Euphorbia Jacquinise-
flora, which took well. He describes his
plant trade as very satisfactory, prices
about the same as in 1904. His special-
ties were ericas, white and pink Lorraine
begonias, azaleas, marguerites, cyclamens,
poinsettias, ardisias, crotons and ferns.

Doyle had some very fine white lilacs,
pyrus, hollies in tubs, Marguerite Queen
Alexandra, Erica melanthera and aucu-
bas. He had far the best plant trade in
his history.

Carbone had some splendid Otaheite
oranges. Azalea Firefly, poinsettias
grown by Wm. Walk and cyclamen.

Poinsettias were much in evidence at
Galvin's, also azaleas, for which he had
a heavy demand, Lorraine, valley in
pots, and hollies.

Houghton & Clark has some fine speci-
men plants of Azalea Indica alba, ericas,
ardisias and freesias, in addition to
other sorts. They also had a nice assort-
ment of orchids.

azaleas and cyclamens at Park street.
Their new scarlet seedling carnation
made $10 per hundred easily. They
had a fine lot of Nonin and Murdock
ch rysanthemums.

John McFarland and William Walke
had the best poinsettias at the Music
hall market.

Carnation Helen Goddard was snapped
up eagerly at $8 per hundred. It is
classed as a great keeper in the stores.

Wlelch Bros, had a record breaking
holiday trade. In American Beauties
they handled a big lot, those from
Briarcliff Greenhouses and Carl Jurgens
being grand. They also had big con-
signments of poinsettias and all other
seasonable flowers. They were practic-
ally cleaned out of all evergreens.

Henry M. Robinson «Sb Co. had hardly
any holly and very little laurel wreath-
ing left at noon on December 23. They
were never sold 9ut so clean before and
did far the biggest business in their his-
tory.

Thomas Pegler sold 30,000 Campbell
violets at the Park street market on

December 23. Quality was unusually
good.

The mild weather on December 23 was
a boon to the plantsmen, who were able
to send much of their stock out without
being papered over at all. Weather was
similar to that experienced on Decem-
ber 23, 1904.

Gen. MacArthur rose, from Robert
Montgomery, was very good and sold
quickly.

Wra. H. Elliott's Liberty were extra
fine. The old Safrano and Bon Silene
from Newtonville Greenhouses were soon
sold.

A. Leuthy & Co. report a splendid
trade in palms, ferns, azaleas and their
other specialties.

Various Notes.

At the meeting of the Gardeners' and
Florists' Club on December 19, the fol-
low exhibits were staged, the awards
being made by Peter iPisher, Allen
Peirce and M. A. Patten: Pink En-
chantress sport from Backer & Co., hon-
orable mention; Winsor carnation from
F. R. Pierson Co., report of merit;

this beautiful pink variety gains in our
appreciation the more we see of it. From
the same exhibitors also came pink and
white Enchantress sports, which re-
ceived honorable mention. Wootton rose
was well shoAvn by James Wheeler. W.
N. Craig showed Laelia autumnalis, L.
Goldeana and L. anceps and the follow-
ing named varieties of L. anceps: alba,
holochila, Schroederiana, Stella, Ame-
siana, Ballantineana, polychroma, Wil-
liamsi, etc.

The committee of the Park street
flower market has secured a large
amount of advertising for the souvenir
catalogue to be presented to visitors to
the rose and carnation conventions.

The annual lecture course of the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society is
announced.

The banquet to the American Carna-
tion Society will be held at the Copley
Square hotel, Boston, on January 25.
The banquet to the C. S. A. was held
at the same hotel in November, 1904.

Peter Fisher's daughter underwent an
operation for appendicitis last week. At
last report she was convalescing nicely
and we hope for her speedy recovery.

We sincerely wish a glad and prosper-
ous New Year to Review readers. The

made as interesting and helpful as pos-
sible. W. N. Craig.

ST. LOUIS.

Christmas Trade.

This is -.vritten Christmas day. It is
almost too early to give a full report of
the Christmas trade, but from what we
hear business was never better, though
a few days prior to Christmas it was
dull enough, with plenty of stock at
that time. Trade in holly, mistletoe and
greens generally was excellent. Plants
of all kinds had the call over cut stock,
as prices on the latter ran high. The
weather was fine for delivery, cool but
not too cold.

At the wholesale houses steep prices
prevailed on Saturday, Sunday and Mon-
day, with stock none too plentiful, espe-
cially red roses, which were at a
premium. Quite a few Brides and
Maids were in but other varieties very
scarce, prices running from $18 to $20
per hundred for fancy stock.

Carnations were more plentiful than

grades. Fancy reds were very scarce.
Orders were in ahead for all that came
in. California violets sold cheaper than
last year, $2 ]>er hundred being the top
price. Plenty of these Avere in and
cleaned up well. Bulbous stock was all
good and plentiful, with no advance in
price. Poinsettias sold well at 25 cents
per head. Smilax, asparagus and adian-
tum had a big call.

The trouble seems with the St. Louis
market that a great many of the con-
signors use nearly all their stock for
home trade on days like Christmas and
other holidays and the wholesaler is un-
able to tell what is coming in and orders
taken ahead from the retailers are often
not tilled. From early reports we take
it altogether every branch of the trade
had a large and sati.«fa<-tory Christmas-
trade.

Various Notes.

C. Young & Sons Co. furnished the
decorations for the big Imperial ball last
Friday, using 400 fancy Beauties.

E. C. Burrows, of Pildier & Burrows,

Charlie Kuehn has been suffering the
past week with rheumatism in his bow-
ling arm. Sympathy has been extended
him by his team mates, who expect him
to round into form for the next match.

The florists' team has entered for the
championship of the St. Louis bowling
association, which begins on January 212.
Twenty-two teams have already entered.
Ellison and Beyer, Kuehn and Beneko
and Meinhardt and Lohrenz will pair off
in the two-men teams.

We are too much confined to business
the past week to give much news of
what is going on about town. We do not
expect much for New Year's, but no
doubt prices will remain up until then,
so will close my letter for this week

The Market

The holidaj' business in this city was
a record breaker. To say that it was
good would be imtting it altogether too
mildly. Never Ijefore in the history of
the trade here has there been such a de-
mand for flowers and at such good
prices. The dealers all stocked up
lieavily in anticipation of a big Christ-
mas trade, but the volume of trade
greatly exceeded all expectations. Christ-
mas night found the market literally
cleaned up of everything salable in the
flower line. The supply of American
Beauties was not nearly equal to the de-
mand, and all the other good roses were
disposed of before night. Carnations
as usual took the lead, fancy stock
bringing as high as $2.50 a dozen at
retail. Many of the stores were open until
long after midnight Saturday, filling or-
ders, and few of them got any rest Sun-
day. We are unable at this writing to
give a complete report of the business
but it is greatly in excess of last year's
business.

The Shaeffer Floral Co. 'a wholesale
department sold out everything before
• losing time Saturday night and all the
later shipments of stock were disposed of
Christmas day. This firm did a heavy
out-of-town business, shipping out many
large orders. The "retail department re-
ports a splendid business, all the stock
being sold out clean.

The Alpha Floral Co. also did a big
liusiness, their cash receipts being over
•li.lOO greater than last vear.

W. H. Humfeld, of the Humfeld
IMoral Co., says that they dfd the great-
est business that they have ever had since
he has been in businesv?, over fifteen
years.

Miss J. E. Murray 's business was much
greater than last year, all of her stock
being sold out by noon Sunday.

Arthur Newell did a much larger busi-
ness than last year but was unable to
-tatc how much the increase was.

Lawrence Schwager did a splendid
business.

Max Filers, of the People's Floral
Co., disposed of all his stock.

The demand this year has been for
high grade stuff, all the good stock
being disposed of first, and people were
willing to pay good prices for good
goods.

The visitors last week were E. G. Hill,
Richmond, Ind.; J. P. Cohen, Lexing-
ton, Mo., and E. L. Isherwood, Chilli-
cothe, Mo. Kay-See.

The Market.

Christmas business with all the flo-
rists was very good. The fine weather
helped things wonderfully, although it
was the least bit cold. All plants and
cut flowers had to be wrapped warmly
to stand delivery without being frozen.
Roses sold at good prices. Some fine
Killarneys were sold by May & Co. for
$5 per dozen and no trouble was expe-
rienced in getting that price; in fact,
the writer was informed that it was not
a matter of price, but a question of get-
ting a sufficient number to fill orders.
Brides and Maids sold at $3 and $4,
Gates and Chatenay $4, Richmond and
Liberty $5 per dozen. Carnations
brought from $1 to $2.50 per dozen.
Beauties made $10 to $18 per dozen,
retail. Other stock in proportion. The
cut flower trade was good and from all
reports all enjoyed the best business
wo have had in years.

Lycopodium sold fast and, although a
lieavy shortage was predicted, the writer
lias not found one florist who has not
been able to fill orders. Holly seems to
have been a puzzle. Out of a dozen
crates six were practically worthless.
The early ehipments were considered
good, but later shipments turned out to
be very poor, and some lots were re-
fused.

It is evident that the paper bell cut
the sales of the immortelle bell to a

Fancy baskets sold well, ranging from

trade.

This year all florists made effort
toward good window decorations. Gus

made a fine display with poinsettias and

Christmas Notes.

In writing of the Christmas business,
I am reminded of the little boy who said
there was only one thing better than a
piece of mince pie — and that was another
piece. So, the majority of our retail
floripts, in reviewing the phenomenal
trade of the Christmas season, have
about concluded that nothing but another
Christmas could equal it. My good
friend Shaw, of New York, has gone
after the picklers. He starts with gall
and wormwood, but 1 presume we will
eventually give them fire and brimstone,
and they deserve it all. I am glad to
say that this year there was more evi-
dence of a tendency to "provide things
honest in the sight of all men. ' ' Several
dealers I note of, are very anxious that
the florists' business be given more pub-
licity. They had better watch out or
they will get ' ' publicity ' ' good and
plenty as holidays roll around.

While the foregoing is a digression, it
is also a prelude to the statement that
the Washington retailers made an excel-
lent showing in the quality of stock, and
were most liberally rewarded by the
buyers. In reply to the stock question,
"What sold best?" nearly every one re-
plies, "Everything," a proof that there
was a big demand for all salable stock,
both in plants and cut flowers. Plants,
of course, had the call, as they always
do at the great holiday seasons. Christ-
mas is the season for bright colors, the
more of them the better from the
buyer's viewpoint. Therefore everything

that was a good red went fast. The
varying shades of pink were good
seconds, with white as a reliable rear
guard. The limited quantities of lilies,
hyacinths and other white stocks sold
very well, considering the general pref-
erence for the bright colors. The Be-
gonia Gloire de Lorraine offered this
year should surely be a glory to any
state or nation. There are different
opinions as to the satisfaction which
these plants give a purchaser, but there
is unanimity as to their marvelous
heauty when at their best. The poinset-
tias were much sought after. While I
do not consider it a graceful plant, by
n little judicious combining, the growers
may put it in the front rank of Christ-
mas plants, for it has the color and
plenty of it. The aucuba, Dracaena
terminalis and other plants have good
standing at Christmas but, after all, it
is the azalea that leads the van. The
geranium for summer, the azalea for
winter, seems to be the motto of the
plain people. There was good demand
for heather. It is a pity that more of
it, in 5-inch and 6-inch pots, could not
he had.

The passion for red was illustrated by
one dealer who had about a hundred
araucarias decorated with red ribbon and
bells, and sold all of them. He agrees
that the decorations sold them. In the
milder colors, the cypripediums found
favor in combination basket and ham-
pers, and they do add the charm of
novelty.

The ribbons, bells, etc., add an atmos-
phere of warmth, a setting for the pic-
fure. so to speak, and that is well; but

mere decoration does not make a good
plant out of a poor one, and it is a
pleasure to note that more and more do
the dealers realize the fact.

In roses, American Beauties went to
a prohibitive price, $18 to $25 per dozen,
but there was no scrambling to get them
at such figures. Bed and pink roses
went freely at from $2 to $5. The reds,
and Enchantress and Lawson carnations,
sold very well at from $1 to $2 per
dozen. Violets, home grown, were in
great demand, with a scarcity at $1 per
bunch of fifty. These are retail prices.

Various Notes.

Wallace W. Kimmel, who last Easter
opened a retail store at Thomas Circle,
has in that short time built up a gooa
trade. For the Christmas trade he
carried a good stock of pot plants and
made a hit with decorated table trees,
of which he sold a large number.

George C. Shaffer opened another
store, temporarily, on Fourteenth
street to accommodate his large stock
of azeleas and other flowering plants. Mr.
Shaffer is a hustler for trade and gets
a good share of it.

Maybury & Hoover is another Four-
teenth street firm that is forging to
the front. Scotty.

Christmas Business.

Although without exact information,
we are safe in saying that Christmas
was a most prosperous time for all flo-
rists and it was long drawn out. We
had two Christmas eves, Saturday and
Sunday. Friday we had a breeze of
sixty miles an hour. Saturday was
mild, but dark and gloomy. Sunday was
clear, with intervals of sunshine, which
was so much a stranger. It made us as
glad as money from home. All pretty
plants sold and here is a good place to
say that plants were the favorite ob-
ject sought with those who wished to
remember a friend, and that is seventy-
five per cent of all the business. Poin-
settias were rather too much in evi-
dence, and so were Lorraine begonias.
The limit has been reached with them.
Azaleas, particularly colored varieties.

were in great demand and so were good
cyclamens. Our city has not reached
the mark where the combination ham-
pers of plants find ready sale. We shall
get there in time, as purses grow larger
and knowledge grows less, but baskets
of moderate size, filled with some lead-
ing plants, such as begonias, poinsettias,
cyclamen or Buttercup primulas sold
well.

We noticed that fine clumps of John
Scott's fern in pans sold well. Their
neat, compact habit attracted every-
body. Christmas is more and more a
time of growing plants, sad as this may
appear to the exclusive flower man, but
don't despair. The rose, carnation and
violet will be always wanted and a
plant cannot fill the bill. The box of
flowers is most suitable where the old,
present and everlasting tender feeling
inspires the remembrance.

Of all the flowers in most demand
and the most difficult to procure, was
the carnation, and they brought without
a grumble a good round price. Many
thousands more could have been sold.
Valley was in good demand, but violets
went slightly slow. Perhaps Hubbie
has been scared off with former prices.
This year they were within the reach
of the elegantly dressed $8-a-week clerk.

Christmas day by no means ends the
business and we are looking forward
to a lively January and if the somber
clouds will let Old Sol beam upon us
occasionally we will have plenty of fine
flowers to gladden our eyes and pay our
debts. W. S.

MINNEAPOLIS.

The Christmas Market.

Business with all the retailers has
no doubt been very good. Stock has
commanded good prices, fancy Beauties
Felling for $18 to $24 a dozen, retail,
and were handled by some dealers in
large numbers. Brides and Maids sold
for $3 and $4 per dozen; Gates, $3 to
$4 dozen; Moultons, $5 per dozen; car-
nations from $1 to $2.50 per dozen;
poinsettias, $6 to $10 per dozen; Rich-
mond and Liberty, $4 to $5 per dozen.
The trade in general seems to be well
satisfied with the Christmas business.
Holly and green are about sold out.

Christmas novelties also sold very well,
but large numbers of bells are still to
be seen in the different flower stores.
The paper bell handled by the five and
ten-cent stores seem to have cut into
the trade in bad shape.

Fancy basket and other Christmas
novelties sold to good advantage.
Owing to the shortage of flowers, the
Greeks did not cut much figure in the
Christmas trade. The tree man is gone
for another year, but evidently has en-
joyed a good trade.

The growers all seem to be well sat-
isfied, although some of them still have
a large number of poinsettias on hand.
This year the poinsettia was grown in
much larger numbers than heretofore,
and the demand, while heavy, was not
equal to the supply by any means.

Donaldson's Glass Block, the floral
department being under the able
management of James Souden, handled
large quantities of stock.

John Monson cut large lots of roses
and carnations, which all sold at a good
price. His new pink rose, the Miss Kate
Moulton took the lead, as he has at
least six houses devoted to it.

Other growers are thoroughly satis-
fied, although plants did not sell as well
as they might and the wise florist here-
after will not bend all his efforts to
plants. Plants sell well at Easter, but
when you try to force the sale of them
for Christmas you are attempting to
do something which our trade is not ed-
ucated to, and they do not take favora-
bly to them. J. A. M.

Shasta Daisies.

On page 272 of the issue of the Re-
view for December 14 is a query about
Shasta daisies. The correspondent can
get these into flower by June 1 by keep-
ing them going and by liberal treat-
ment; 55 degrees at night, with plenty
of air will suit them for the winter.
Their dying off in August and Septem-
ber is probably caused by exhaustion.
A few of ours did the same. As soon
as I noticed them turning yellow I re-
moved all the old flowers and seeds and
gave them a good cultivating and nearly
all came around. This plant is a hungry
one and requires liberal treatment and
young stock can easily flower and seed
itself away. E. A. W.

TROUBLE WITH STEAM.

I have been installing a new heating
system in our houses, but it does not
work right. The coils are made of 1^4-
inch pipe, about fifty feet in each, and
are fed by a %-inch pipe and drained
by a %-inch pipe which leads to a trap
at the middle of one side of one house.
The coils do not clear of water as they
should. The pipes in the coils are par-
allel. We tried spreading the ends apart,
but it did no good. Are the %-inch
supply pipes too small? We have three
coils on one %-inch pipe. We take the
steam underground from the boiler,
about sixty feet distant. R. H. P.

I am not certain that I comprehend
your diflSculty. From your description I
infer that the supply pipe is %-inch
and is taken off the boiler and then car-
ried below the water level in the boiler
underground to a point beneath the
house and then to the coils. The coils
indicated carry about forty-five square
feet of radiation, which could easily be
cared for by a short %-inch pipe, but I

doubt if you will ever be able to make a
long %-inch pipe supply them properly.
A 1%-inch supply pipe arranged to
enter each coil at the top and a %-inch
pipe leading fronii the outlet of each to
a common return to the trap will, I be-
lieve, overcome the difficulty. The prob-
lem is complicated by the loop in the
flow and the trap. If the boiler can be
lowered so as to carry the flow pipe
direct from the top of the boiler to the
coils and the return back to the boiler,
no difficulty will be encountered, pro-
vided proper air valves are supplied.

NEW YORK.

The Christmas Market.

All things considered, it was a fairly
satisfactory result that presented itself
to the wholesale cut flower section on
Christmas morning. Everything good
had about been absorbed. little stock
arrived on the early trains and the day's
demands were yet to be depended on.
I doubt if Monday night found any
ice-boxes doing duty. The day itself
was ideal; clear, sunny and with not
enough frost in the air to make wrap-
ping a necessity.

Saturday and Sunday prices realized
were quite up to expectations. The best
Beauties brought $1.25, the best Maids
and Brides 25 cents each; the best vio-
lets $1.25 per hundred, and carnations
all the way from $4 up to $25 per hun-
dred for the great novelties of this
year's introduction. Sad to say, on
Sunday night the evidences of pickling
of carnations were seen and thousands of
Enchantress, Lawson and other varieties
went to sleep long before any of the
weary and disgusted wholesalers thought
ol rest. The same story must be told
of violets. Thousands upon thousands
came in utterly without perfume or
"smelling" so badly that the criticisms
are unfit for publication. But what's
the use? It has been fully proven that
one may protest till doomsday and still
this idiocy will be perpetuated. Nothing
can move the perpetrators of this out-
rage but removal of the guilty to the
sphere where all deceivers ultimately
land. Year after year we emphasize

the iniquity and dishonesty of this prac-
tice, but it is like butting one's head
against a stone wall or the marble floor
of a Turkish bath. Lots of roses, too,
came in dull, sick, pale, unable to hold
up their heads, and when the growers
get returns from these they will get, if
they get anything, more than they de-
serve. But there was much grand stock,
the finest that ever reached a holiday
market, and this stock was at a pre-
mium and brought even more than was
expected.

Lilies were not much in demand and
the supply was not abundant. Valley
was sufficient for all requirements. Or-
chids fulfilled the prophecy as to their
standing, with shipments and local de-
mand enormous. None were left and
prices held firm throughout, no abnormal
advance being asked by the experts
who handle them. McManus shipped to
many cities and the big locals were
taking them in 300 and 400 lots at mid-
night Sunday.

Bulbous stock was not much called for
and prices Were normal. Everybody had
pansies in shoals and mignonette and
hyacinths were abundant.

The stock and crowd at the Cut Flower
Exchange at 6 a. m. Monday were both
light and prices were considerably be-
low Sunday's.

With the Retailers.

The retailers, as usual, have no fault
to find with the Christmas trade. Greater
demand than usual for cut flowers was
evident. Baskets and boxes of mixed
plants were everywhere popular. Novel-
ties were numerous and very salable.
Palms, ferns, azaleas, orange trees, or-
chid plants, begonia baskets, everything
was in demand. Every retail store on
Sunday evening looked as if it had been
struck by a cyclone. I question if a
respectable plant of any kind remained
unsold. Many declare it to have been
the best Christmas ever known. Some
say "a little better than last year ' ' and
one or two say, "hardly equal to three
years ago." The majority always rules.
It was "the best ever."

Baskets of plants, made to sell at $50
and over, sold slowly. The popular
size is now $10 to $25. "The tendency
this year among the best people is to

buy flowers instead of plants," one of
the veterans of Fifth avenue tells me;
and he knows, for he has been in touch
with the public for over thirty years.

Holly trees fulfilled their mission in
decorating the fronts of the retail stores,
but they did not sell as expected. Ever-
greens, roping and good holly wreaths
were very popular and none were left.
Some elaborate ones, with ribbons, sold
as high as $10.

When a millionaire comes in with a
list of twenty or thirty names and ad-
dresses and says: "Send them some-
thing good; you know what will please,
and send me the bill." Well, it's a
taste of the millennium, isn't it? And
they do it here, lots of them. I've seen
the lists and a hundred-dollar basket to
each is only a flea bite for the man whose
income is a few thousand dollars a day,
365 days a year. In fact, he wouldn't
like it if you sent his friends anything
less; and there you are. Is it any won-
der a good, square florist who knows his
business gathers his share of shekels in
little old New York, the greatest flower
city in the world?

I did intend to describe the window
decorations in detail. These wonderful
artistic displays have done much to at-
tract and influence the public. But there
are so many in this city that it would
take pages to do them justice. The
stock shown was superb, but the acces-
sories were an indispensable adjunct,
without which the displays would have
lacked half their charm. Among the
many fine things noted were ardisias in
fancy pails, with ribbons to match; or-
ange trees with yellow pots and yellow
ribbons; boat? filled with ferns and

fancy-leaved begonias; reindeer with
sleighs filled with valley and orchids;
pianos and trunks and sedan chairs;
miniature Japanese gardens, exquisite
and interesting; bells with chime and
shower effects; heather in green baskets
with red ribbon; plants of cypripedium
with light green ribbon; yule logs with
red ribbons; wooden slippers in white
and gold; cider bowls and the old well
with its oaken bucket; tripods and ket-
tle; storks, with back receptacles for
flowers. These are only a few; every
store had something novel.

Various Notes.

A new retail firm has opened a store
at 990 Eighth avenue, a fine location
near Central park. McKnight & Chase
are the proprietors, Mr. McKnight hav-
ing had experience in growing and re-
tailing in Tarrytown.

Thos. Langton of Flatbush avenue,
Brooklyn, manages to get over to the
early morning market, notwithstanding
a long siege of rheumatism. When 1
saw him Monday he was rejoicing in
improved facilities furnished by Scollay
and a heating system in his new store,
next door to his old one, that, as usual
with Scollay 's work, is proving very sat-
isfactory.

Monday, January 8, the next meeting
of the New York Florists' Club takes
place. President Scott has five new
members to propose and says he will
propose fifty before the year closes. He
is forming plans to continue and en-
liance the interest of the members. Last
year one of the oflBcials added thirteen
new members. It must have been an
unlucky number. He didn't get any of-

fice this year, but he cut a path in in-
creased membership for others to follow
and the new president intends to quadru-
ple his record. The discussion of flower
shows will be the item considered and
the inauguration ceremonies will be
elaborate.

Dinner festivities begin early in the
new year. On January 10 Madison will
have a smoker, with celery from Her-
rington on the side. Then comes Tarry-
town, and in February New York, and
so on around the charmed circle.

Mr. Jackson, of the Cut Flower Ex-
change, conducted a turkey rafSe in be-
half of some of the Coogan building's
faithful employees last week. Two tur-
keys, weighing from twenty to thirty
pounds, went to Jos. S. Klinka, of Dutch

Christmas from his Great Neck grower.
He did a big all-night business.

Mr. Humphrey, of Thorley's, and his
son, had a narrow escape last week and
the train that killed the horse and de-
molished the buggy came within a hair
of removing both gentlemen from active
decorative work on this planet. Even
the bruises could not keep the artist
from his Christmas duties, however.

Another narrow escape for the Sie-
brochts, Mr. See, Mr. Smythe and Mr.
Troy last week. The 6:30 train they
always take was missed by a few min-
utes and was badly wrecked on its way
to New Rochelle, several being killed or
seriously injured. All remember Mr.
Wadley's serious injury of a couple of
years ago on this road, for which he was
paid $35,000. Will Siebrecht thinks it
safer to live in the city during the winter
and has moved in.

Guttman & Weber's Victory sold
steadily at $25 per hundred, and there
was a lot of it.

A. L. Young & Co. say they will have
to hang up a larger stocking next
Christmas. Their carnation shippers sent
some grand stock this year. Mr. Hen-
shaw makes an efficient lieutenant and
boomer here.

Ford Bros.' big ice-box was just right
for the immense holiday shipments.
Michael Ford went home early Saturday
with a severe cold.

The telephone never seemed such a ne-
cessity to florists as now. Some of the
stores book enough orders in this way
every day to make all the rest of their
business velvet.

The Market*

The Christmas trade was up to all
expectations and was equally enjoyed by
the wholesalers, retailers and growers,
especially the latter, who were fortunate
enough to have a large cut these days.
Roses of all kinds were scarce and prices
held firm. Carnations proved more
plentiful than had been expected and
very few orders were cut. Violets, both
double and single, were in good demand
and all orders were filled. The Cleve-
land Cut Flower Co. reports business
as being much better than that of last
year and they even entirely sold out.

Each of the retail stores had all it
could do and all had extra help. The
weather man helped us all by having
fair weather on Saturday and a bright
Sunday.

Monday was an ideal Christmas day,
the ground covered with snow and large
flakes slowly falling and the thermometer
standing about 20 degrees. All the re-
tail stores were still busy sending out
orders and some of them had to work
until evening to get them all filled.

PITTSBUBG.

The Market

This is the night before Christmas and
all in the trade in this vicinity are will-
ing to admit it is the best in their ex-
perience in many ways. The green
goods, such as laurel and pine wreath-
ing and such stock, was virtually cleaned
ijp as early as Friday. The sale of
plants was beyond all expectations.
Everything in blooming stock was
cleaned up and there was an immense
sale for palms, ferns, etc., leaving al-
most a clear field for cut flowers for
Saturday and the trade in this was like
everything else. Roses, carnations and
violets were the leaders and everything
in this line cleaned up. Mignonette
does not seem to go so well and it looked
as if it had rained stevia, there were
such quantities of it. There were quite
a good many chrysanthemums to be
seen among the wholesalers, but they
did not seem to move and it looks as if
they were not wanted after Thanksgiv-
ing, as poinsettias and lilies will take
their place at Christmas where large
flowers are wanted.

Most of the retailers worked from
Thursday morning until noon Sunday
without rest, but closed at noon and
went to bed to get back at eight o'clock
in the evening to finish up the work.

Eoses in the Pittsburg district were
somewhat off crop for Christmas, the
warm weather the past month having
brought them in too fast. Carnations
were never better and the crop came in
just right and for once the growers did
not send in old stock, as the price be-
fore Christmas was better than they
could hope to realize even at Christmas
for the stale stock.

One of the surprises was the amount
of shopping done when the weather con-
ditions were considered. It poured all
day Friday and drizzled most of Satur-
day. Sunday was a good day, but one
day late for the shoppers.

The blooming plants were the finest
ever handled in this city and it is safe
to say there were twice as many sold
as ever before, and still they did not
take the place of cut flowers, as the sale
of flowers was the best on record.

C. H. Heiner, agent for the Adams
Express Co., which handles most of the
flowers coming into this city, if he did
not reach the people as soon as they
needed the stock, deserves the thanks of
the trade for his efforts to deliver it the
minute it reached him. He also had
men whose business it was to get all out-
going flowers off on the first train pos-
sible. Some inconvenience was caused
by discontinuing cariying express on
many of the trains and making up car-
loads for many points and running them
out special. This in many instances held
stock several hours after the regular
trains usually used. One of the express
companies had its trouble with several
shipments of lilies which it brought in.
Some were refused entirely and some ac-
cepted in such condition that they should
have been refused. Very bad handling
had ruined more than two-thirds of the
stock. Hoo-Hoo.

Reports from Louisville show a
marked stiffening of the onion set

Some of the seedsmen report that they
are still working on the onion and bean
pages of their catalogues.

It is reported that a Chicago market
gardener received a full delivery on
onion seed from his California grower
and is selling the surplus to his neigh-
bors.

It seems to be the opinion of the
majority of the seed trade members that
it will be worth the additional cost, aa
well as the additional time required, to
make California the meeting place of
next year's convention.

Although the general outlook is
good, 1906 is likely to be another year
when specialties will be the seedsman *s
main source of profit. The standard
stocks, from all reliable information,
will be kept low by the keen competition
all along the line.

One of the 1906 novelties of P.
Eoemer, Quedlinburg, Germany, is a
giant pansy named Mauve Queen. Each
of the three lower petals is marked with
a large blotch of distinct carmine color,
with a hue of delicate lilac. This gives
the flower a most distinct appearance.
Mauve Queen is the first strain in pan-
sies possessing such remarkable blotches
of red.

Secretary Kendel, of the American
Seed Trade Association, in a circular
letter to members asks for a vote on the
advisability of taking the next conven-
tion to California. He desires a reply
from each to reach him by January 5,
the date at which the executive com-
raittee meets. His letter gives concise
information as to cost and other data
which will assist the members in voting
intelligently on the California proposi-
tion.

newspaper publishers, in which the St.

seeds for its advertisers. Publishers who
answered the advertisement, and some
who didn 't, are now receiving the follow-
ing letter from the St. Louis Seed Co.:

HOLLAND BULB NOTES.

All is quiet now since the rush of
planting operations is over and prac-
tically all the fields are in their winter
dress. The very wet weather interfered
very seriously with all outside work and
as this was followed up by a week of
keen frost, it made growers feel far
from comfortable, as many are still
feeling the results of the early winter
in 1903. However, as the trade this
season has been a most profitable and
satisfactory one for the growers, no
matter how disastrous it has been to
some of the exporters that sell the goods
early at low prices without any goods
of their own to fall back upon, there
is no reason to grumble. This season
has been a most interesting one in a
financial way for that particular class

of people, and it has given them a lesson
that they are not likely to forget soon.
It is an easy matter to sell goods at
low prices, but when it comes to sup-
plying them and the grower is not found
willing to submit to the prices offered
for the goods, the matter takes quite
a different aspect and it would certainly
be to the interest of the trade and all
concerned if this reckless speculation,
upon the surplus stock of the grower,
could be stopped, says a Hollander writ-
ing in the Horticultural Trade Journal.

GERMAN SEED CROPS.

Our hopes for a normal dry autumn
in the Erfurt district were unfortunately
not fulfilled, the weather being unusual-
ly rainy and misty. Fortunately the
fine summer had already assured the
success of most of the crops. I can only
confirm my last report as to the results
of the majority of the vegetable seed
crops, and the growers' catalogues, now
mostly in the hands of the trade, can
speak for themselves. Dwarf beans,
which were uncertain a few weeks back,
have turned out a good crop, in fact,
the best for some years past, and run-
ners have also mostly done well, so that
prices are somewhat on the down grade.
Carrots and beets are in a few cases
lighter than expected, and a few lettuces,
owing to ravages of worms, came in
under estimate, but no seri6us shortage
has occurred. Onions and leeks have
fully maintained the high prices asked
for them at the opening of the season,
and have in fact gone up in some in-
stances.

The worst effects of the damp autumn

were seen in the results of the aster
crop, especially the later Comet types
and the Victoria, the moisture having
got into the flower heads and rotted the
incipient seed before it had a chance to
ripen. High prices therefore rule for
these choice strains and only a mod-
erate percentage of germination must
be looked for. Nasturtiums are very
late this season, and an uneven crop.
Quotations rule higher than last year
and buyers should be prepared for slow
deliveries. A few other articles are
short, such as dahlia seed and certain
colors of stock-flowered larkspur, but
flower seeds have on the whole done well
this year.

Business has started well, orders com-
ing in rapidly, and many large consign-
ments of seeds have already been
despatched to Great Britain, the Colo-
nies and America. — Horticultural Trade

LILIUM GIGANTEUM.

Will you kindly give me some infor-
mation about the treatment for Lilium
longiflorum giganteum? This is my
first attempt to grow them and I want
them for Easter. W. W.

The usual method employed in the
culture of these lilies under glass is to
pot them immediately on receipt, putting
them into pots just large enough to hold
the bulb. They should then be placed in
a house with a temperature not to ex-
ceed 50 degrees. Water thoroughly and
cover the pots with litter until root ac-
tion has begun. Keep a careful watch
on the progress made and as soon as the
stems are one inch above the soil re-
move the litter and increase the tempera-
ture to 60 degrees.

When the pot is well filled with roots
they should be repotted into the flower-
ing pots, placing them deep enough to
cover at least one inch of the stem. As
they increase in size a little liquid feed-
ing is beneficial. The worst enemy they
have to contend with is greenfly, which
should be kept in check by a weekly
fumigation of tobacco. R.

DETROIT.

Christmas Trade.

Christmas of 1905 will always be
flpoken of with a smile by the Detroit
florists, as business was unusually brisk.
With the exception of rain on Thurs-
day, the weather was as if made to
order. The thermometer remained
Jiround the freezing point, turning some-
what colder Christmas eve. Palm trade
was very good. Bostons, palms, poin-
settias, azaleas and cyclamen sold like
hot cakes. Begonia Gloire de Lorraine
sold fairly well.

Cut flowers were just about cleaned
up at very good prices. Violets were
easily disposed of.

Ground pine can now be bought for a
song, as the unusually high price scared
out prospective buyers. Holly was very
good and sold in large quantities.

Breitmeyer's army of assistants was
kept busy from Saturday morning until
Monday noon with hardly time for a
nap.

Taepke was very much handicapped
during the rush, Walter having an ulcer-
ated tooth and one of his ablest assist-
ants being called home on account of a
death in the family.

At Schroder's everything went lovely.
P. F. Reuss, a former employee, but
now engaged in the cut fern business in
Johannesburg, iWich., helped out for the
holidays.

Sullivan was more than rushed. The
window was very prettily decorated with
an arch of ground pine, studded with
red lights.

Wm. Brown says they can call it a
merry Christmas, but he had rather do
the same amount of work in three
months instead of three days.

This being_ Mr. Fetters ' first Christ-
mas in Detroit, he cannot compare with
former years, but, judging from the
smile on his face, he seems very well
pleased.

Eobert Flowerday 's rush started so
early his familiar face was missed last
club meeting night, December 20.

As only a few of the boys found time
to attend the meeting December 20, the
session was called off. Thos. Browne
showed a fine vase of his white sport
of Enchantress, a pure white, and has
all the other fine qualities of Enchan-
tress. Every plant has come true. Quite
an interesting discussion about hot
water under pressure was engaged in.

Qub Meeting.

The New Orleans Horticultural So-
ciety met December 24. Paul Abele,
chairman of the committee having in
charge the interstate organization among
the southern florists, suggested a propo-
sition which was ordered to be printed
and mailed to the southern florists. If
successful we will have made a great
step in the advancement of horticultural
matters in the whole Union. E. Baker,
chairman of the committee on flower
show, made his report. The expenses
with prize money amounted to $976.36.
Cash receipts will be a good deal over,
the surplus being donat^ to the Sun-
shiners. The ladies' association deserves
a good share in tbe success of the ex-
hibit.

Next month the State Horticultural
Society will meet in New Orleans. The
N. O. H. Society voted a suitable appre-
priation to entertain the members of the
or^nization.

Henri Cook was elected a new mem-
ber.

VariotM Notes.

A donation of a number of plants has
been made to the city to embellish La-
fayette square in return for the use of
the park, which was tendered free of
charge for the last flower show.

Wm. Newall, assisted by Mr. Martin,
is making inspection of all the nurseries
regarding the insect pest question.

The New Orleans Ladies' Floral As-
sociation is progressing and our society
is expecting at any time to receive a
proposition outlining the ways and
means for working together.

At the Metairie Ridge Nursery every-
thing looks new, fresh and lively. Credit
is due to H. Papworth, the president,
for having accomplished in such a lit-
tle time the erection of six large green-
houses which are already full of stock.
Adding new houses to an already estab-
lished business is easy enough, with time
and capital, but to start a large concern
from almost nothing is a task which can

only be accomplished by a man of much

When I called he was busy regulating
his steam coils, working under the Web-
ster system with a 100 horse-power
boiler. Three houses are planted with
roses, the successful culture of which in
New Orleans is now an assured fact.
Several florists in the city have at-
tempted to force roses but one of the
worst drawbacks is the lack of proper
soil. The Metairie Ridge Nursery, being
situated outside of the city limits, has
an endless quantity of the best ground
adapted to the proper cultivation of
roses. Carnations are very promising
and will certainly be a success, at least
at some season of the vear. One house

is almost full of Pandanus Veitchii,
from 2-inch pots to large specimen
plants. They had just received a large
order for made-up pans and were using
a small pandanus in the middle with a
very good effect. All the houses are
joined at the ends by a large potting
shed, with a wagonway in the middle,
and Mr. Papworth thinks it will not be
any too spacious when in the near future
they will start their catalogue and ship-
ping business. M. M. L.

Vegetable Forcing.

HOTBEDS,

With the smaller grower, who finds
himself cramped for room as the spring
season advances, hotbeds play a very
important part in filling the breach be-
tween the greenhouse and cold frame.
They are especially useful in the starting
and bringing forward of vegetable plants
intended for subsequent planting out-
doors or for maturing such crops as let-
tuce, cauliflower, radishes, etc.

About the middle of February is, gen-
erally speaking, the best time to make
up the beds, but previous to this the
material should be got together, turned
over two or three times and thoroughly
mixed to insure a uniform heat. Stable
litter will constitute the principal part,
if not all, of the material, but where
it is possible to procure them a very good
addition to this is leaves gathered the
previous fall. They may constitute about
one-third of the material and will be
found to be very advantageous, both in
preventing too violent heat at first and
in helping to retain heat in the material
longer than the litter alone would hold
it.

If the manure is well saturated with
wash from the stable it is not often
necessary, when using this alone, to
dampen the material with water, but
when leaves are used, these often being
quite dry, dampening is generally es-
sential to insure proper heating, but
judgment must be used in the applica-
tion of the water so as not to overdo
it. The material, when ready to make
up the bed, should be just damp enough
so that it will pack well together, but not
so moist that it will appear wet and
heavy in handling.

Hotbeds are sometimes made entirely
overground, but here a good deal of heat
is apt to be lost by the sides of the pile
being exposed to the weather, especially
during severe cold, so that the better
plan is to dig a pit as a receptacle for
the material. In deciding the size of
the pit, it is best to ascertain the size
of the frame to be placed over it and

allow the pit to be a foot wider than the
frame all the way around. This will
insure a more uniform heat in the frame
than if it were the exact size, as being
in contact with the cold soil, around the
sides of the frame, it is always colder
than the body of the material. A fancy
frame need not be used, the home-made
article being just as eflB^cient as long as
it is substantially built, with crossbars
sufficiently strong to support the sash.

The heating material should be put in
in layers, spread evenly, and each layer
firmly packed by tramping with the feet.
This insures a uniformity of heat and
the firmer it is packed the longer the
heat will be retained. The depth of ma-
terial to be used will depend a good
deal on the class of plants to be grown
and the length of time it is desired that
the heat be retained. As a general rule
a depth of four feet is about right. For
this depth a pit three feet deep will
be needed and the material built one
foot over ground, this allows for set-
tling, which is sure to take place as
the material becomes decomposed. Al-
lowing that it should settle one foot
this will leave the frame level with the
surface of the ground.

The sash used would better be placed
over the frame as soon as the bed is
made up to prevent its being soaked
should rain occur, but they had better be
tilted up so as to allow the steam and
superfluous heat to escape, and gradu-
ally lowered as the heat recedes. A
thermometer placed in the frame will
indicate the falling of the temperature
and when 65 degrees is reached with the
frame closed, plants or seeds can safely
be trusted in it, the temperature being
regulated by airing according to require-
ments. W. S. Croydon.

TOMATO PLANTS.

M. Garrahan, writing of growing vege-
table plants, says, in the Eural New
Yorker: We have something less than
10,000 square feet of glass, with a few
hundred 3x6 sash. We grew and trans-
planted into flats last spring 373,000
tomatoes, 290,000 celery, 125,000 cab-
bage, besides a lot of pepper, eggplant,
etc., that I have no account of. We used
three men and four boys practically four

months, at a total cost for labor of $465 ;
manure, $40; coal, $30; interest on plant
at $2,000, six per cent, $120; sinking
fund at six per cent, $120; cost of 10,-
000 flats, and making, $400; total,
$1,175. Our plants are grown in flats
the size of tomato cases, 13x17 inches
inside measure; planted 1%-inch each
way; there will be 108 plants to the box.
A 3x6 sash will cover about nine of these
boxes or flats. Our first sowing of seed
is made about February 15; twenty to
twenty-five days later we begin to trans-
plant. Seed is sown in flats of the same
size with a temperature 75 to 80 degrees.
We count on 1,500 good seedlings from
one flat of this size. A man who can
fill his own boxes and transplant 5,000
seedlings per day without any help is a
first-class hand. As a rule, our plants
are never sold for less than $3 per 1,000.

PACIFIC COAST.

Vancouver, B. C. — Charles Keeler,
Mount Pleasant, was among those in-
jured in a trolley collision on West-
minster bridge, December 12. He was
cut about the head and face.

Spokane, Wash. — S. Younkin, of
Washington, la., has moved with his
family to Spokane and has bought a
third interest in the business of Hoyt
Bros., and it will be incorporated under
the name of Hoyt Bros. Co., with a
paid-up capital of $30,000. The firm
has secured a lease on the property at
817 Riverside avenue, occupied by A.
Anderson as a cigar and candy store,
and has paid him about $5,000 for the
fixtures and stock. The candy business
will be continued and flowers will be
added in place of the cigars.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

The weather has turned cold again
and this has taade itself evident by the
decreased supplies of all kinds of stock.
Carnations have been plentiful enough
for the past few months, but are now
showing evidence of being closely cut.

DECEMBER 28, 1905.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

AOl

Koses of the fancy qualities are at a
premium and unless the stock is weak-
stemmed or off color there is not enough
at present to fill requirements. Bulbous
stock, including daffodils, hyacinths and
valley, is in fair supply and eagerly
bought. Violets are, on account of the
frosty weather, shorter of stem than for-
merly. Business has been good for sev-
eral weeks. Funeral work is keeping
many of our retailers busy and much
white stock has been used up on this ac-
count.

Various Notes.

W. W. Saunders, the Fresno bulb
grower, is in town.

The Domoto Co., of Elmhurst, is clear-
ing a section of ground on which six
new greenhouses will be erected in the
spring.

There is considerable disappointment
over the fact that the local florists will
not receive any outdoor poinsettias from
Los Angeles this season.

Miss M. Solomon had the elaborate
1) 'Oily decoration in San Jose last week.

Some of the finest holly ever seen in
San Francisco was imported from Brit-
ish Columbia by the Cox Co. for the
Christmas trade.

Sievers & Boland have a good stock
of poinsettias in pots, and a heavy cut
of Hannah Hobart carnation is also no-
ticeable in their houses.

A. Mann, Jr., reports a heavy trade in
Christmas supplies. Eed bells were han-
dled in especially large quantities this
season.

One of the finest displays of floral
work ever seen in San Francisco was
the offerings at the funeral of Sergeant
Spillane on Saturday of last week. All
the principal aealers were represented in
it. G.

THE DECORATORS.

There was a time, and it was but a
few years ago, when all the decorating
in private houses, public halls and other
large places was performed by the re-
tail florists, but this branch of the busi-
ness has been slipping away from them
gradually until it has become a separate
trade by itself and those devoted to it do
little else than attend to their specialty.
Our lady friends seem to have made the
greatest strides in California and some
of them have built up reputations for
artistic work that in return brings them
in all the decorating they can do.

It used to be the fashion, when a
decoration of any kind was wanted, for
the lady ordering to telephone to her
florist to send a dozen or two of palms
in pots and a good, strong boy along
with them to distribute them in con-
venient places around the house. But
these things have changed. The ordi-
nary retail dealer is now rarely called
in to supply either flowers or plants, and
the only familiarity he has with the func-
tion itself is to read of it in the news-
paper.

From keeping a flower store in which
a specialty was made of decorating to
doing decorating almost exclusively was
a gradual change and our expert deco-
rators no longer care for counter trade,
but have emerged into something much
more profitable and certainly more pleas-
ant. As I stated before, the ladies have
taken the initiative in this branch of the
trade, and several of them located in
San Francisco and in nearby towns find
all the work they can handle at very
remunerative prices. Large palms in
tubs and boxes were gradually super-

seded by bunches of huckleberry, of
grasses in big fancy jars, and the sup-
plying of this branch of the business
has now become quite a factor in it.
Menu cards and favors of all descrip-
tions are also included in this work and
artistic creations are in great demand.

When a reputation is established the
rest is easy, and I am inclined to think
the professional decorator has an advan-
tage over the poor florist, in that the
work is easier, more interesting and more
remunerative. Some of our enterprising
ladies have gone a step farther and cou-
pled catering with decorating, and this
assists greatly in the chances for a good
bill against the wealthy patron.

"Women seem to be better fitted for
this work than men. The old idea of a
dozen or two palms in pots and a few
bunches of flowers scattered around in
conspicuous places has entirely given
away to delicate draperies of greens,
fancy color designs and peculiar effects
to suit particular occasions. Much pa-
tience is required to please the best-
paying people, and the ladies seem to
suit better than men when it becomes

In color schemes much taste must be

NURSERY NEWS.

AMERICAN ASSOaATION OF NURSERYMtN.

Pres., E. Albertson, Bridgeport, Ind.; Vice-
Pres., Oriando HarriBon, Berlin, Md.; Sec'y, Geo.
O. Seager, Rochester; Treas., C. L. Yates, Roches-
ter. The 31st annual convention wUl be held at
Dallas, Texas, June, 1906.

F. T, Haseltine, Crookstoii, Minn., is
closing out his nursery business.

It is a gratifying sij^n of tlie times
that the demand for nursery stock is
steadily turning from price to quality.

TnK Society for Horticultural Science
is in session at New Orleans this week.
Many nurserymen and plant breeders
are in attendance.

W. F. Heikes sent out a call for the
annual meeting of the Alabama State
Horticultural Society, of which he is
president, at Thosby, Ala., .lanuarv 30
and 31.

J. L. Rreese, Fayetteville, X. C, i.s
meeting with con.siderable success in
l)reeding new varieties of persimmon,
stock of two varieties having already
been put on the market.

A. F. Miller, of Sellwood, Ore., re-
ports a recent shipment to Austria of 750
pounds of seeds of native conifers. He
says the demand for seeds exceeds the
amount he is able to supply, especially
for the Oregon fir.

The Western Association of Nursery-
men was in session at Kansas City De-
comber 20 and 21, discussing trade con-
ditions in its field. It was voted to hold
the regular summer meeting at Kansas
City June 7 and go in a body by special
car to the Dallas, Tex., meeting of the
American Association of Nurservmen.

CANADIAN APPLES.

The Eoyal Horticultural Society of
Great Britain recently held an exhibition
wholly made up of colonial fruit, the
feature of which was a magnificent dis-
play of apples from British Columbia,
which is thus described by the Horticul-
tural Advertiser: "Connoisseurs are
agreed that for real flavor nothing can
beat a good British apple, but as regards
appearances there can be no disputing
the fact that we take a back seat. The
color of the apples shown was absolutely
gorgeous; a painter could not have col-
ored anything more rich and brilliant
than many of the fruits, and this does
not apply to a few selected dishes, as a
considerable part of the exhibit consisted
of boxes with the lids removed to show
the fruit inside, which was all of similar
quality to the samples set up in plates.
We may add that, owing to the wreck
of the vessel carrying this consignment,
the fruit had been under water several
days, without, however, having appar-
ently suffered from the accident. We
give the names of a few of the most
prominent varieties: Ben Davis, Wage-
ner. Northern Spy, Jonathan, ^^i^sopus
Spitzenberg (gorgeous), Akin Bed, Can-
ada Baldwin, Salome, and King of Tom-
kins County (magnificent). All these
were remarkable for high color, the most
conspicuous of the green varieties being
Fall Pippin and Grimes* Golden, the last
of fine quality.

* * The apples from Nova Scotia, though
excellent samples, wore not equal in size

and color to the British Columbian prod-
uce, the most noteworthy being some
boxes of Blenheim Orange, almost un-
recognizable from their brilliant color-
ing. Both the above colonies have made
a distinct step in advance by packing
all fruit in boxes instead of barrels.
These are much more convenient to han-
<lle, and, what is of great importance,
there is no waste space in car or ship,
as they fit closely together. The sides are
made in two pieces with a space between
of about an inch to insure ventilation.
All packers use the same size box, of
Avhich 500 form a car-load, which can
he sent anywhere by rail without tran-
sliijtping. ' '

The Weekly Florists' Review^

Decembbb 28, 1905.

CINaNNATI.

The Market

Today is Christinas, and a glorious
day it is, and it is my Avish that every-
one will have a very merry time. The
growers and wholesalers are through
with their rush and are sitting around
figuring up their profits. They have no
kick this year. Stock was scarce. There
was scarcely a variety of flower which
could be said to be equal to the demand.
Beauties were especially scarce and car-
nations were snapped up at any price;
nor were roses many points behind.
Poinsettias came nearer filling the de-
mand. Violets sold at sight. Bulbous
stock sold fine. Stevia was in large
supply and helped out wonderfully.
Some held-over mums also helped to fill
in the gap. Greens of all kinds sold
finely. Prices on all grades of stock
ruled just as they always do at this sea-
son, carnations perhaps a little higher
than usual.

The retailers are still digging away
at orders and it is impossible to say how
they stand, but reports of general sat-
isfaction are coming in now and then.
Several of them report that never before
have they been able to fill out orders to
better advantage. That the volume of
business was fully as large as last year
cannot be doubted. When finally figured
up I feel sure that it will show a first-
class increase.

When finally figured 1 believe that
this Christmas will stand as a record
breaker, at least until next year rolls
around. The weather, which was mild,
scarcely below the freezing point, helped
out in the rapid delivery of stock. Alto-
gether we should be thankful for the
way in which our business came out this
year and I believe we all are.

Aristocrat.

After many years of patience, study
and hard work the past week has brought
to a climax the efforts of our friend
Eichard Witterstaetter. Aristocrat, the
crowning glory of his efforts in behalf
of the carnation, has been sold at what
is undoubtedly the highest price ever
paid for a carnation. The Chicago Car-
nation Co., represented by James Harts-
home, is the purchaser. The deal was
closed last week Thursday and in the
evening Mr. Witterstaetter invited a
few ot the boys to join him in a cham-
pagne supper at the Gibson house. The
daily papers have been giving consider-
able space to this transaction, several of
them printing pictures of Aristocrat.
The price paid for the carnation was, I
believe, in the neighborhood of $10,000,
but neither Mr. Hartshoriie nor Mr. Wit-
terstaetter would give out the exact fig-
ure. This deal surely marks an epoch
in the floral industry of this city and I
wish most heaitily for the success of
both parties who made it possible. Mas-
ter Harold Hartshorne accompanied his
father and took his first lesson in fren-
eied finance in the flower business.

Various Notes.

There was a big scarcity of laurel fes-
tooning this year and the price went
very high. Holly, which at first looked
as if it would be poor and scarce, turned
out to be fine and in very heavy sup-
ply. Christmas eve it sold at $1 per
crate for fine goods.

Visitors were E. G. Hill, Richmond,
and Harry Bunyard, New York.

The Weekly Florists' Review^

405

FOR SUMMER CROPS.

We are regular readers of William
Scott's notes and have been much prof-
ited by his advice in the past and hope
that he may be able to advise us now.
We are situated about 100 miles from
our market and wish to know whether
■we could profitably raise outdoor sum-
mer-blooming flowers and bulbs, as we
have no local trade during the summer,
and ship them that far, and if so we
would be pleased to have him give us a
list of plants and bulbs that would do
for such a trade. J. W. M.

As you ship 100 miles, the outdoor
stuff you grow should be something your
market would take in considerable quan-
tities. There are several things that
you could grow that are wanted in every
large city. The herbaceous peonies
should be largely grown. They are al-
ways in demand. See that you start
with the finest varieties. White and
light pink varieties are the favorites.
Don't bother with phlox. There is no
finer herbaceous plant, but it does not
travel well and would not sell. Then
there are the dahlias. A demand for the
flowers of these has been growing yearly,
until now they are largely grown. The
dahlias sold in our city last fall came
from Philadelphia and New Jersey, over
400 miles. The gladioli are wanted
everywhere and travel well, and your
stock is continually increasing. It is
true there are immense areas of gladioli
grown in different parts of the country,
but good spikes of distinct colors are
never wasted. Start in with the best
and most distinct varieties. There is
also a sale for asters and I know several
men who make a specialty of asters and
make money from them. The market for
fine asters is limitless, as you can ship
them a thousand miles. Sweet peas are
likely to sell very cheaply during the
first week or two of outdoor picking,
but if by cultivation and water you can
keep your crop going into August you
can get a good price for your flowers.
And now, in addition to the above, I
will add the lily. If you have a good
loam, well drained or over gravel, you
can have beds of lilies. Lilium candi-
dum thrives best in a clay loam. Lilium
longiflorum likes a lighter loam, and so
does speciosum. All these will sell in
their season. Of course, I have made
no attempt to mention many pretty and
useful hardy plants, because, although
favorites with many, they would not be
wanted in quantity. You want to grow
things that you can ship largely. Even
if bringing a low price, it amounts to
something. W. S.

The Holiday Business.

According to all reports this Christmas
has been one of the best in the history
of floriculture in this city. Frona all
quarters comes the report of exceptional
demand and good prices. A comparison
with the trade done in former years
bears this out. Roses were a fair crop
and sold quickly at the following prices:
Beauties at from $2 to $12 per dozen;
Brides and Maids, $2.50 to $8 per hun-
dred: Richmonds, $4 to $10 per hun-
dred. There was an extra demand for
carnations, the supply, owing to the
dark weather of the preceding month,
being rather short of that anticipated.
Prices ruled from $3 to $8 per hundred,
and each day's cut was cleaned up i"
a short time. There was a plentiful
supply of very fine violets, which sold
readily at $1.50 per hundred. The sup-
ply of valley was also ample. In greens
and miscellaneous stock, there was a
good trade, the supplies being abundant.

The various stores and growing estab-
lishments report a good trade in flower-
ing and decorative plants at good

figures. „ .

Harry Hoffman had a very fine cut

of carnations.

La France was well stocked with
potted plants. Durand had more orders
than ever.

The United States Cut Flower Co.
reports doing treble the business it did
last Christmas. Their cuts of roses, car-
nations and valley were exceptionally
fine. Supt. Curran reports very favor-
ably on Richmond rose, which is really
fine here and will be propagated in large
quantities. Crops are looking well and
some magnificent cuts of carnations are
in view. Propagation is now in full
swing, and from the quantity in course
of rooting one would think that a large
increase of glass in this section would
be required to give them accommodation.

Among recent visitors were S. S.
Skidelsky and his pink Enchantress. He
reports very satisfactory sales of this
and succeeded in impressing some of
the boys here to invest freely. R.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

Dbcbhbbb 28, 1005.

SCRANTON, PA.

The Scranton Florists' Club has been
organized with the following officers:
President, Jonathan Eodham; vice-presi-
dent, Anton Schultheis; secretary, T. B.
McCIintock; treasurer, William McDon-
ald; board of trustees, Thomas Arner,
George E, Clark, Jerry McConnell, J. H.
O 'Malley and E. J. Hull. The club meets
the third Friday of each month, and
those who are eligible to membership are
professional florists, private gardeners,
women conducting florists' establish-
ments, almost all professional hands con-
nected with the business.

The last 'regular meeting of the club
was held at Guernsey hall on December
15. C. W. Ward, of Queens, L. I., was
present and exhibited some fine carna-
tions. The merits of these flowers were
discussed at length. It was decided that
such exhibits be held at every meeting,
and that various flowers be taken up for
discussion from time to time. ^

TORONTO.

As the Christmas rush is over we have
now time for reflection on trade gener-
ally. It might be stated that the weather
conditions favored the sale of flowers
but not the production. Never in the
history of Canada, Toronto in particular,
has there been as great a sale of holiday
decorations, in the shape of holly, moss
wreathing, bells and decorative plants,
as there was this year. The sale of cut
flowers would be quite as great were it
not that the supply was so limited, and
many people were unable to procure the
flowers they wanted. Especially have
roses and carnations been very short in
supply, and none of the wholesale men
was able to fill more than one-half of
the orders. The supply of plants has
been good and the sale has been large,
on account of the shortage of cut flow-
ers. It might be remarked that the
weather conditions, which were mild and
cloudy, were not at all favorable to the
Christmas trade in many of the heavier
lines of merchandise and as a conse-
quence the florists got the lion's share
of the floating dollars that must be spent
for something. D. J.

Winnipeg, Man. — L. J. Stopher's
Christmas business was the heaviest on
record, a number of the orders having
been on the books for weeks.

Litchfield, III. — At the Cottage
Greenhouses two houses, each seventy feet
long, were added the past season, with
Garland gutters. A salesroom and office
were also added. Business is reported
good and steadily growing.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

Dbcshbbb 28, ie05.

SCRANTON, PA.

The Scranton Florists' Club has been
organized with the following officers:
President, Jonathan Rodham; vice-presi-
dent, Anton Schultheis; secretary, T. B.
McClintock; treasurer, William McDon-
ald; board of trustees, Thomas Arner,
George E. Clark, Jerry McConnell, J. H.
O 'Malley and E. J. Hull. The club meets
the third Friday of each month, and
those who are eligible to membership are
professional florists, private gardeners,
women conducting florists' establish-
ments, almost all professional hands con-
nected with the business.

The last /regular meeting of the club
was held at Guernsey hall on December
15. C. W. Ward, of Queens, L. I., was
present and exhibited some fine carna-
tions. The merits of these flowers were
discussed at length. It was decided that
such exhibits be held at every meeting,
and that various flowers be taken up for
discussion from time to time. -

TORONTO.

As the Christmas rush is over we have
now time for reflection on trade gener-
ally. It might be stated that the weather
conditions favored the sale of flowers
but not the production. Never in the
history of Canada, Toronto in particular,
has there been as great a sale of holiday
decorations, in the shape of holly, moss
wreathing, bells and decorative plants,
as there was this year. The sale of cut
flowers would be quite as great were it
not that the supply was so limited, and
many people were unable to procure the
flowers they wanted. Especially have
roses and carnations been very short in
supply, and none of the wholesale men
was able to fill more than one-half of
the orders. The supply of plants has
been good and the sale has been large,
on account of the shortage of cut flow-
ers. It might be remarked that the
weather conditions, which were mild and
cloudy, were not at all favorable to the
Christmas trade in many of the heavier
lines of merchandise and as a conse-
quence the florists got the lion's share
of the floating dollars that must be spent
for something. D. J.

Winnipeg, Man. — L. J. Stopher's
Christmas business was the heaviest on
record, a number of the orders having
been on the books for weeks.

Litchfield, III. — At the Cottage
Greenliouses two houses, each seventy feet
long, were added the past season, with
Garland gutters. A salesroom and office
were also added. Business is reported
good and steadily growing.

FUNERAL WORK.

Not many, retail florists will agree with
the view expressed by one of the leaders
in their branch of the trade. He stated,
in referring to a recent very large family
order for funeral flowers, that such or-
ders, although amounting to hundreds of
dollars, are not a Source of profit. This
is the way he figured it out. A death in
a family prominent socially causes in
all branches of that family a complete
abandonment of all social activity for
the season, and if such an occurrence
takes place at the opening of the social
season the florist is greatly the loser in
the end.

EiCHMOND, Ind. — G. E. Cause says
Christmas trade was the heaviest in the
history of his business. Carnations took
the lead. Eoses sold well. Green moss
and holly wreaths sold well. Better
prices were obtained for carnations than
last year. There has been a great amount
of funeral work for several weeks, using
stock up very close.

Spokane, Wash.— ]Miss ]\rargaret Arm-
strong, who has been with Iloyt Bros, for
the past eleven years, has severed her
connection with them and has formed a
partnership with Miss Eose ^Wight, of
the Lidgerwood Greenhouse. They will
do business at the same location where
Miss Armstrong has been.

Here is a check for the advs. ; they
made money for us. — The Newburys,
Mitchell, S. D.

No progressive florist can afford to
miss reading the Eeview each week. — W.
C, ScovELL, Malta, O.

We are well pleased with the Eeview
and look upon it as a necessity. — S. H.
HiBBERT, De Soto, Mo.

I APPRECIATE the Eeview very highly
and would not like to be without it. —
Chas. Eaupius, Long Island City, N. Y.

Here is a check for $2 to pay two
years in advance for the florists' best
paper. — C. A. Eieman, Connersville, Ind.

I HAVE sold out all my rose plants;
had good results from the advertisement
in the Eeview. — John Karsten, Chatta-
nooga, Tenn.

Here is your dollar; you can spend
it for Christmas but we want the Ee-
view fifty-two times in 1906. — S. Huth,
Cuyahoga Falls, O.

I AM highly pleased with the Eeview
and wish it a Merry Christmas and a
prosperous New Year. — Wm. Cunning-
ham, Grand Eapids, Mich.

Warehouses: JERSEY CITY. N. J. LONG ISLAND CITY. N. Y.

AMERICAN WINDOW GLASS CO.

The American "Window Glass Co. has
adopted new tactics in its effort to secure
the trade of the big buyers of glass.
Through the establishment of local ware-
houses, in the various big cities of the
country, it is evidently the intention of
the company to cut out to a great ex-
tent, the jobber and the middleman, and
to do business directly with the big buy-
ers. The evidence of this fact is to be
found in the establishment in Chicago
of a warehouse. M. G. Holding, having
been appointed local manager, will
liereafter have charge of all the business
in the Chicago territory. The new store-
house of the company is located at the
corner of Canal and Sixteenth streets,
the building having been secured under
lease for a term of years.

The decision of the American Window
Glass Co. to establish local houses Is
largely the result of the successful oper-
ation of the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co.
on a similar plan. The company has felt
the competition of the independent glass
companies throughout the country, as
well as of the Pittsburgh company. The
expense of administration which may be
somewhat enlarged by the new plan, is
expected to be more than overbalanced
by the greater business which will be
done, and the ease with which trade can
be conducted. While it is undoubtedly
the intention of the company to lessen
the power of the middleman, it is not,
j>o far as can be ascertained, the policy
to cut out the jobber altogether, but in
the case of the sash men, the builders
and greenhouse men who take large
quantities of glass, there will be direct
dealings.

How the jobbers Avill regard the new
plan cannot be said, though some of
them intimate that it will cut into their
business to a considerable extent. The
policy of the company has not yet been
fully outlined. The new local manager
of the company, M. G. Holding, says
that he is not in a position to give out
.inything which the company has in view.
Mr. Holding is one of the best posted
men in the glass trade in the west. He
was, for more than twenty years, con-
nected with the Sprague, Smith Co., and
the company at the outset has secured a
man who will be able to secure to it all
the advantages which are possible under
the new plan.

Council Bluffs, Ia.— Oscar Herman
has bought a tract of ten acres at Ninth
avenue and Thirtieth street, has erected
a boiler room and barn and will at once
begin to build greenhouses.

Muscatine, Ia.— J. E. Kranz expended
about $6,000 last summer in modernizing
and enlarging his plant. He built two
carnation houses, each 22x160, and an-
other house, 20x75, which he uses for
ferns.

MILWAUKEE.

The Market

Christinas trade without any cxccp-
tious surpassed that of previous years.
There was an increase of trade in all
lines and the quality of stock was ex-
ceptionally fine. The sale of plants,
especially flowering plants, was unusu-
ally large and any one having plants in
salable condition found a ready market
for them at profitable figures. The de-
mand for carnations was unusually
heavy, but there was about enough good
stock to go around, with the exception
of red, which ran short, as the stock
was much out of proportion in this
color with the quantity of other colors
on the market.

There was a tremendous sale of holly
wreaths, but the general run of holly
was not up to the quality of what has
been in this market former years. It was
very noticeable that loose holly was not
used as extensively for decorating as
in previous years. There appears to be

and quite a lot of wild smilax was sub-

it appeared to be a satisfactory Christ-

Violets were of fire quality and all
good stock sold out at good figures.
Stevia was practically the only flower
that was a glut on the market ; it was

good prices were realized on first grade

to push plants, so you see if we sell a
plant for $1 we have the dollar and if
we sell a dozen carnations for $1 and
furnish a box, paper and twine and throw
in some fern leaves and are forced to
pay $7 and $8 per hundred, the other
fellow gets the $1 and you get the growt
and the customer thinks you make 95
cents on every dozen. I have been forced
to sell carnations for $1 per dozen that
were not worth 50 cents. No wonder

PAINT ON PIPES.

AVill you please tell me what to do
witli some pipes in a greenhouse? 1
painted them a year ago with a black
paint. Jt made a very bad scent in the
house, wliic'h is injuring the plants. Last
winter 1 scraped the l)ipes, but still the
scent is not all gone. Can 1 get some-
thing to put on the pipes to take this
scent away? J. A. J.

If it can conveniently be done, the
most satisfactory method of ridding the
pipes of the offensive paint would be to
reniova the pipes and burn off the paint.
If the houses were empty this might bo
accomplished with the pipes in p^ace by
the use of a plumber's blast torch. If
neither of these suggestions is practica-
ble, the next best thing is to paint the
pipes with asphaltum varnish. This will
throw off fumes for a few days but if
the house is given plenty of air little if
any harm will result from its use. The-
oretically pipes should not be painted, as
the coating over the surface impairs
their efficiency as radiators, and thus de-
feats in a measure the purpose for which
the pipes were installed. L. C. C.

LIMIT FOR HOT WATER.

"What is the maximum length of house

3-inch flows and 2-inch returns, the boiler
being at the end of houses?

A. C. L.

I'nder ordinary circumstances it is not
<le8irable to run hot water more than
100 feet when gravity alone is to be de-
pended upon. With a circulating pump
hot water can be carried from 200 to
300 feet, but without some artificial
means of hastening the flow it is not
advisable to exceed 100 feet in 2-inch
pipes. L. C, C

N. ZwEiFEL, No. Milwaukee, Wis., writes:— 'I have 4 houses, each 28x200 feet, with a totaj

13 Boilers, and it is easy firing."

Grant Newport, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, writes:— "I bought a No. 2 Boiler in 1902. Takes
care of 7,000 sq. ft. of glass; would take care of 2,000 more. I have had a cast-iron boiler,
but it broke down twice in four years, always in the coldest weather. It broke down
Dec. 26, 1904, and I lost all my stock in consequence. I have now two No. 2 Kroeschell
Boilers and do not worry about their breaking down."

THE WAY IT FITS.

Anybody who has ever set up a boiler appre-
ciates what exact fitting means — and what
it means if not exact.

Take the Burnham Sectional Boiler

— in the first place the castings are as near perfect
as skill in casting can make them, then the chip-
ping man with his pneumatic chipper goes over
each section taking off rough places and making
exact all fitting points.

All this takes time, costs money, but it all
goes into the perfection of a "Burnham." So the
Burnham must fit right for you, because it first
must fit right for us. The Burnham is easy to
erect. Easy on coal.

CARNATION NOTES.-EAST.

Holiday Varieties,

Now that the strain of Christmas is
over and more definite knowledge has
been obtained regarding the behavior of
certain varieties, more particularly those
in good demand at the holidays, atten-
tion should at once be given to the in-
crease of such as are the most desirable
or suited to your trade. The blooms of
ji variety mav be most desirable in ap-
jiearancc, ready sellers, etc, but in point
of productiveness the variety may be
quite a little behind another not so
much sought for. The question, then,
is which to grow in increased quanti-
ties. If the returns per bloom from the
former are enough larger than the lat-
ter to offset the difference in yield, it
would seem advisable to increase the
stock of the most desirable and higher
priced. Looking ahead a whole year, as
growers must needs do, the probabili-
ties are that while the less productive
sort will bring about the same figures,
the variety less in favor now will be
held in still lower estimation next season.

As before stated, the foregoing re-
marks are made more in reference to
varieties suited to holiday trade than
staple, all-year ones, still with most sorts
when the quantity increases quality and
price take a corresponding decline. Some
growers will under no circumstances
handle scarlet carnations, claiming the
season of demand at good prices is too
short to warrant their being grown.
Others plan to throw out the greater
part about February 1, using the space
to hold young stock.

Trade conditions must govern all such
matters, but if scarlet is to be grown,
early propagation must be practiced, not
only beginning operations in good sea-
son, but put into the sand in either one
or two large batches not far apart.

If the stock from which cuttings are
to be taken is small, it would be better
to purchase a quantity of unrooted cut-
tings from a reliable source than to
allow propagation to drag along in di-
minutive lots. This matter of using cut-

tings in the unrooted state is no ex-
periment, but has with others, as well as
the writer, proved very successful.

Though perhaps my treatment of the
subject may not be new to some read-
ers, continued use of unrooted cuttings
shows additional reasons in favor of the
method about which I will have some-
thing to say next time.

Geo. S. Osborn.

MY MARYLAND.

H. Weber & Sons Co., Oakland, Md.,
make the announcement that the E. G.
Hill Co., Kichmond, Ind., has withdrawn
from the joint dissemination of the
Webers' white carnation. My Maryland,
which was to have begun this month. It
is stated that My Maryland has failed
utterly at Ei''hmond and at another
place where it is being grown this year,
but that good-size lots on trial at To-
ronto and at Philadelphia bear out the
originator's claims for it, while at the
home place at Oakland the stock is in
as good shape as last year, when it made
a very favorable showing.

The Wieber & Sons Co. says that in
its opinion the variety will in at least a
part of the country bear out its claims
for it and will proceed with the dis-
tribution, orders for many thousands
having been booked, but they take the
very fair course of offering every buyer
the opportunity of cancelling his order
in whole or in part.

The E. G. Hill Co. was to have also
distributed Lady Margaret beginning
this month, but this variety was with-
drawn several weeks ago.

A YOUNG GROWER.

Wm. Wiehtendahl is a new grower for
the Chicago market, starting at May-
wood, 111., in the fall of 1904, when he
built two houses which he is devoting
to carnations, growing the older sorts,
such as Sport, Morning Glory, etc. Mr.
Wiehtendahl was with Bassett & Wash-
burn before starting for himself, and is
a first-class grower, his varieties not, be-
ing done better by any other grower in
the neighborhood. He is a young man,
only 24 years of age, and unmarried.

His establishment gives every promise
of steady expansion. He sends his cut
to E. C. Amling.

THE MARKET FOR STOCK.

In an article in the issue for Decem-
ber 14 entitled "Carnations for Christ-
mas" A. F. J. Baur says: "I think
that I am safe in saying that but foi*
the heavy demands on the growers at
Christmas, many a thousand feet of
glass put up in the past few years would
have been left unbuilt. ' ' I would be
glad to hear from Mr. Baur as to
whether he simply means that this de-
mand was the incentive for building or
that those who did build had regretted
it and that had they waited until an-
other year, or a few months, until the
Christmas rush was over and tae keen
edge and enthusiasm had worn off, that
they would not have built?

W. H. E.

My statement was not made on the
strength of any complaints from grow-
ers of cut flowers, but is the result of a
close study of the weekly reports in
the Review from the large wholesale
markets over the country. Before an-
swering your inquiry I took down my
copies of the Review from November 3,
1904, to the end of the season and since
looking them over I feel even safer than
before in repeating that statement. I
find that with very few exceptions there
was always plenty of good stock to fill
all orders and when the weather was
half way decent there was a surplus all
along the line. Cheap sales would often
help matters some, but at other times
even these were of no avail in moving
the surplus. Of course Christmas and
Easter always clean up everything at
good figures and there is not enough to
go around. In looking over these notes,
1 can find no encouragement to build
for those who are dependent on these
markets for disposing of their stock, un-
less it were the scarcity at these holiday
times.

1 also notice that whenever there was
a scarcity it was always in the top
grades, which, of course, is but natural.
This shows that the wise grower will
give more attention to the production
of high-grade blooms than to mere quan-
tity. I cannot say that any grower has
regretted building a certain lot of
houses. I do mean just what I said,
however, that the shortage at Christmas,
and by your permission I will add
Easter, has been the incentive for the
erection of many a thousand feet of
glass. The fact that the same shortage

occurs each season would prevent any
regret on the part of the builder, but if
you were to cut out these two holidays,
and the demand caused by them, I doubt
very much whether there would be a foot
of glass erected in the next three years
by any of the large growers shipping
their stock into these markets.

Now I do not want you to think for a
moment that I am a pessimist. I am
far from it. I can see for the live
florist, be he grower or retailer, the
brightest of futures. The business is
growing rapidly and will continue to
grow, and for every energetic firm or
individual there is more business than
he can handle. There are thousands of
smaller growers who can sell many times
more than they are able to produce most
of the time, and these are in little dan-
ger of overbuilding. You will, however,
find that these growers either sell their
own stock at retail, or else they dispose
of their stock without sending it through
these large markets. There are more
buyers who are forced to go to these
large centers for stock, who would will-
ingly buy nearer home if the stock were
procurable, and the growers who are
located in the midst of such opportunity
are of course wise to build just as rap-
idly as possible. That there are many
such we all know and the more these
growers build up the worse it wiU be
for those who ship into the large cen-
ters, unless the business increases more
rapidly than the glass area. The home-
grown stock will be given the preference
when there is plenty, and the holiday
orders sent into the large market will be
just as heavy, making the holiday de-
mand heavier and the regular demand
lighter. The large market will be ap-
pealed to more and more to supply the
shortage when the local supply is in-
adequate, and the regular orders will be
placed just as near home as they can
be taken care of satisfactorily. The
business done in any one of the present
large centers will perht^ps not diminish,
but you will find that as these growers
scattered around the country grow up
into large places and become able to
supply the territory around them, the
long-distance orders that will go to the
large centers will be mostly special or-
ders and not regular ones, as they now
are. The business within a few hours'
ride will, of course, grow and perhaps
use up all the stock there is, but I
think the future will see a much larger
percentage of short-distance orders than
at present.

Now, I may have elaborated on this
subject more than you expected, but it

comes right in line with your inquiry
and from personal experience I feel that
these are the tendencies of the times and
the trade. Every man, of course, knows
his own business best and ought to
know whether he ought to build more
houses or not. Those who grow high-
grade stock usually could sell more, while
those who grow the lower grades mostly,
usually find difficulty in disposing of
what they have. The general demand
need not bother you, it is the demand
for your special stock that must govern
your building operations.

SCOTCH SOOT.

"Will you tell us about Scotch soot for
carnations? Is it very stimulating? Do
you use it dry or as a liquid? Mix it
with earth or not? What proportions?
What is the effect, lasting or immedi-
ate? Supposing you have been using
sheep manure, bone and wood ashes and
no stable manure, then what? I have
1,700 carnations. Enchantress, Joe Man-
ley, White Lawson, Boston Market and
Mrs. Patten. I have grown carnations
in this small way since 1891, and have
had the usual amount of stem-rot and
rust until last year, when I left off
using rotted sod and stable manure and
have used the above fertilizer with fine
success. Last year I lost no planta
from rot and only four this year.
We use the old soil in the bendiea
three years and be sure and plant
on old ground in the open, using
the same fertilizer. We bought 1,500
rooted cuttings, receiving 1,565, potted
them all at one time, planted out in
frames, then in the ground and took up
August 20, 1,535 and bought 150 more
plants and have lost four since. I think
those were broken when taken in.

G. A. G.

Soot is not used very much on carna-
tions, though it might be good in many
cases. It is used a good deal on chrysan-
themums, however, and its effect ought
to be similar on carnations. Soot is
used mostly to give the foliage a dark
green color and it also deepens the color
of the bloom. It is considered to be a
foliage food altogether and is not sup-
posed to have much effect on the size of
the blooms. There is no danger of in-
juring your plants with it. The usual
way is to put about a half bushel of it
in a burlap bag and hang it in a barrel
of water, weighting it enough to hold
it under the surface. When you see the
water is well colored you can water the

beds with it. This is better than to use
it dry. When used dry it blows over
everything on account of its lightness.
The effects will be about as lasting as
with any other liquid food. I would
apply it about once in two- weeks at this
time of the year.

If you are having good success by
using the fertilizers you mention, then
I can only say to keep up the good work.
We do not use stable manure for the
fun there may be in handling it, but
for the results we get from it. If you
grow as good stock as your neighbors,
and it is quite probable that you do,
then there is no reason why you should
not eliminate any manure that you think
has been causing you trouble other years.
We have tried using soil more than one
season, but could never get as good re-
sults the second season as the first. We
do not consider fresh sod ground de-
sirable to plant on in the field, but would
rather have it cultivated one or two
seasons. A. F. J. Baur.

A RAILROAD BANQUET.

At the recent banquet to James J.
Hill, at St. Paul, the feature of the
decoration was a floral railroad track.
An embankment was built of moss and
galax upon which a track was made with
white carnations for rails and pink car-
nations for crossties. Wide tables were
used. At the head table, which was
joined to those running at right angles,
there was in the center a floral round-
house and approaching were two floral
trains. At each guest's plate was a
ribbon bearing the name of a station on
the Great Northern Eailroad and each
guest on entering was handed a railroad
ticket to the station at which he was to
dine.

The decoration was considerably the
finest ever put up in St. Paul. It was the
work of L. L. May & Co. The photo-
graphs reproduced in this issue do not
do it justice because of the lights, which
were too much for the operator.

DETAILS LACKING.

Hundreds of my carnations have some
kind of disease that is yellowing the tips
of the foliage and young shoots in spots.
On examining the roots I find what
seems to be a white fungus all over
the roots. On the main stalk under
ground it is in rings. It is of fleshy
substance. My soil is new, not having
been cultivated for at least twenty years,
and treatment what I have given my
carnations in former years with good

results, with the exception that I have
not been able to keep the house as warm
as it should be. Can some one help me
out of the trouble? I had in 1,200
plants and pulled up over 300 of the
worst ones this week. W. C. S.

I would like to have you send me one
of the worst affected plants for exam-
ination. I am not sure that the white
fungus at the roots and the yellow tips
come from the same cause, but such a
thing is possible. Also let me know
what manure you mixed with the soil
and how much. Was the sod well rotted
when you filled the benches? Have you
been watering liberally? Did the plants
take hold of the soil when planted and
did they make a fair growth? When did
the trouble begin? All these things may
have some bearing on the case. Send
considerable soil with the plant.

seem to have roots. If the buds are kept
down how long will it take for cuttings
taken next month to attain sufficient size
to produce good flowers without sapping
the strength of the plant? Are they
gross feeders? How many flowers per
plant should be allowed to bloom first
season? I. G.

Information Wanted.

I have so often found helpful sug-
gestions in the columns of the Eeview
that I want to ask a question which
no doubt can be easily answered by
some of your correspondents. The
answer will be of vital interest to the
writer and probably to some others.
This is it: "How can you sell dollar
carnations in a thirty-cent town?"

THE READERS' CORNER.

Jerusalem Cherries.

In the Review of November 23, I saw
an inquiry about planting Jerusalem
cherry seeds to secure plants for next
year. I think I have a better plan than
that. I take cuttings about the middle
of January, from last year's plants.
They will riot in about four weeks and
every cutting will make a plant. I put
them in 2 ^^ -inch pots and set them out
about the first week in June. I make
the rows two and a half feet apart and
set the plants fifteen inches apart in the
rows. I can raise plants fifteen to thirty
inches high the first year and full of
berries. T. H. Hart.

Shasta Daisies.

The writer has a few of each of Bur-
bank 's new Shasta daisies that are steel-
ing out in fine shape in the bench and
■would like to know how to propagate
same with best results. Have understood
that the divisions are cut off as soon as
they have roots but the branches do not

ROSES.

Season of Low Vitality.

The dark and dreary weather which
has been the feature in many sections
during the past six weeks, has begun to
show its effect upon all varieties of roses
and care must be taken to maintain
vigor and health during the next two
months. Crops before the holidays were
so tardy and prices so tempting that
many of us were induced to resort to a
little forcing to secure the harvest.
Plants as a rule are in no condition at
this season to bear extra strain and any
forcing is apt to injure succeeding crops
by inducing a weak growth and soften-
ing of the foliage.

Experts each have their favorite meth-
ods of forcing a crop, but with the best
of knowledge and experience there is
still an element of danger. The grower
who exercises patience and makes the
health of the plants his first considera-
tion, is the one most likely to have the
best satisfaction and come out ahead at
the end of the season.

To counteract the damage resulting
from this forcing, particular attention
should be given to ventilation, both night
and day, missing no opportunity to give

all that the weather will permit, even at
the expense of a few more tons of coal.

At this season, when the vitality of
the plants is at its lowest, it must he
borne in mind that they cannot use a
large supply of either water or feeding,
so a careful examination should be made
daily and the supply regulated according
to their wants.

A little care in watching, to ascertain
the wants of the plants, and supplying
these at the right time, should now be
one of the main duties of the grower,
and the success attained along these
lines will meet its reward in the future
crops. ElBES.

SHAVINGS.

We would be pleased to learn if pine
shavings, used as bedding, are injurious
in horse manure to be used in composting
rose soil, especially if the manure is a
year old? C. & G. P.

Pine shavings and sawdust possess
such a small percentage of nutritive
matter that they are seldom used as fer-
tilizers, almost any kind of barn yard
manure being preferable. They possess,
however, good absorbent qualities, fitting
them, when properly composted with
other manures, to retain the gases suit-
able to plant life, especially when sat-
urated with liquid manures and other
fluids containing ammonia. The ma-
nurial value of shavings, owing to slow
decomposition, is not usually available
the first season and produces its best
effect the third and fourth year after
application, which makes it a rather un-
suitable material for roses as they are
now grown. But they will not injure
your compost unless they constitute a
considerable part of the manure.

GREINER AND THE CACTL

The wider of the accompanying illus-
trations is from a photograph showing
A. G. Greiner, of St. Louis, in one of his
houses of cacti. Trade visitors in St.
Louis in the past year or two have in-
variably been attracted to Mr. Greiner 's
exhibits of his cacti. At the St. I^ouis
World's Fair his exhibit was one of the
most attractive, and at the World's Fair
flower show he received a medal award.
At the S. A. F. convention his table in
the trade exhibit was one of the novel
features. There are at St. Louis many
admirers of the cactus, and a large trade
is done in this specialty by several St.
Louis florists. Mr. Greiner has one of
the largest collections in the country, in-
cluding many novelties. The second il-
lustration is from a photograph, which
he says is * ' the only Euphorbia uatalen-
sis cristata of its kind so far known
in the world. ' ' He has sought widely
for its mate, but thus far has been un-
successful.

GROWING CROPS UNDER GLASS.

[The continuation of a paper by B. T. Gallo-
way, Chief of the Bureau of Plant Industry,
reprinted in the Review of December 28, from
the Yearbook of the Department of Agriculture,
where it was one of several papers under the
general head, "Opportunities In Agriculture."]

Vegetable Growing.

Vegetable growing as a specialty is
more profitable near the larger cities. Cit-
ies ranging in size from 25,000 in popu-

and that there can be a demand for
special crops in large communities only.
Since the rapid extension of vegetable
growing in the south and the better fa-
cilities for the shipment of such cropa
as lettuce, cucumbers, etc., the field for
the growth of vegetables under glass has
been considerably restricted. There are
still good opportunities here, however,
and the larger the city the more chances
there are for success. The grower in
this case can sell his own crops, or he
can sell them through a commission
merchant or wholesale dealer in the city
or cities to which his locality is tribu-
tary.

In this work larger areas of land are
required. From one to five acres will
answer the purpose, but for a large
business ten acres or even as many as
twenty acres may be necessary. The na-
ture and character of the soil play an
important part, and the grower should
be in a situation to control the soil so
far as possible; that is, he should not
be so placed as to have to purchase his
soil, which is an expensive item in
itself, as this takes out of his hands to
a certain extent the possibility of con-
trolling conditions. In the growth of
such crops a quick, early-maturing soil
is absolutely essential. By this is meant
a soil readily adaptable to cultivation,
that contains comparatively little clay,
and that holds moisture readily and yet
dries out quickly; in other words, a

Euphorbia Natalensis Cristata.

lation upward are the ones which should
be considered in this connection. The
reasons for this have already been briefly
alluded to, but may again be referred to
here. They are, chiefly, that vegetable
growing must necessarily be specialized

good, rich garden loam. The soil under
glass must be changed every year and
sometimes more than once a year. It
is essential, therefore, to have opportu-
nities for replenishing the soil without
too much expense.

The chief crops that may be grown
are lettuce, cucumbers and tomatoes.
As incidental crops, mushrooms, beets
diandelions, cauliflowers, etc., may be
used. Lettuce and cucumbers, however,
constitute nine-tenths of the crops that
are grown in this way, and, all things
considered, are more profitable than
anything else in this field.

In beginning a work of this nature
it is essential to consider the fact that
when a start is made it will have to be
on such a scale as to enable the grower
to produce crops not only of good qual-
ity, but in suflScient quantity to pay a
dealer to handle them. This is espe-
cially true if the grower depends on
commission merchants or wholesale deal-
ers to market his products. The first
essential is to grow good crops; the
second is to produce them in such quan-
tities that the demand when once
created will not fail for lack of supply.
Many beginners make the fatal mis-
take of starting in such a way that they
cannot develop a good business for the
reason that the supply of their product
is not constant. The commission mer-
chant or the wholesale dealer depends
on a constant supply to build up his
trade and if he cannot depend on the
grower, he, of course, cannot afford to
give as high prices as where the quan-
tity to be had is constant.

Lettuce, for example, is grown under
glass usually from October until March,
three crops being produced in this time.
The first crop should be on the market
by Thanksgiving day or earlier, and
there should be a steady supply through
the rest of the season until the middle
of March. If the grower, having pro-
duced a good product, has found a
ready market for it, he will lose it if
for any reason his supply stops for a
week or ten days or two weeks during
the actual season of demand. This will
hold true for all other crops.

To start in work of this kind on the
basis of five acres would require some-
thing like the following as an outlay:

Five acres of land at |250 per acre $1,250

One greenhouse, 20x100 feet 1,200

Hotbed, sash and miscellaneous equip-
ment 650

Total $3,000

The intelligent grower, conducting his
work in a proper manner, planning well
and using good business methods, should
be able to secure from this amount of
land and glass a gross income of from
$2,000 to $3,000 annually, or a net in-
come of from $1,500 to $2,000.

Cut Flower Growing.

Cut flower growing is the most profit-
able field in the growing of plants
under glass. It is most profitable for
the reason that there is a greater de-
mand for cut flowers than for vege-
tables, and while the risks in some cases
are greater the profits are correspond-
ingly large. The work in this field may
be of two kinds, the growing of mixed
crops, or specialization with one crop
alone.

By mixed crops is meant the growing
of three or more crops of flowers, such
as roses, carnations, violets and chrys-
anthemums. In this field the best open-
ings are to be found near cities with a
population of from 10,000 to 50,000.
There is always a demand in cities of
this size for cut flowers, and this de-
mand is frequently increased if there
are any special institutions in or near

such cities, such as colleges, universities,
otc.

The grower here may either handle
his own products or sell direct to deal-
ers in the cities. It is more profitable,
if capital can be secured, to handle
one's own products. A store in the town
or city eliminates the middleman and
enables the grower to take not only the
profits from the growing of his crops,
but the commissions which must be
paid for selling the flowers as well.
These usually represent about 100 per
cent. In other words, the crops which
the grower sells to the retailer in the
city are sold by the latter at about 100
per cent advance over the prices paid
to the grower. Considering the extra
expense of store rent, clerk hire, etc., a
considerable portion of this profit may
just as well be secured by the grower,
if he has the business capacity and can
manage the details connected with both
the city department and the producing
department.

Moreover, this field offers opportu-
nities for those who for various reasons
cannot obtain sufficient ground very
near to a city. In other words, flowers
such as have been mentioned grown
under glass may be shipped with perfect
safety from fifty to 300 miles, thus
broadening the field of the prospective
grower. This makes it practicable to se-
cure land at very reasonable prices;
but in addition to this must be consid-
ered the extra expense of express and
freight rates both in the transportation of
the crops produced and in the transpor-
tation of the material actually required
for the work, such as fuel, manure, etc.
Ordinarily, however, many choice loca-
tions can be found in the vicinity of a
city where half an acre or an acre of
ground can be secured at a price of
from $250 to $500 per acre. It is not
always practicable, however, to secure
land as reasonably as this; more often,
half an acre of such land will cost
$500.

Starting with such an area of land,
three houses may be constructed, each
at a cost of $1,000. In these may be
grown roses, carnations and violets. In
this connection it is necessary to em-
phasize the fact that these crops can-
Jiot be successfully grown all in the
same house. Each requires a special
temperature and special treatment, and
hence the necessity for division of labor.

"With the land costing $500, three
houses $3,000, general equipment $500,
and a home for the grower costing at
least $1,000, we have an investment of
$5,000. The gross income from such a
place should he at least from $3,000 to
$3,500 annually and the net income
from $1,800 to $2,000.

If such an establishment is rightly
planned in the beginning, it may be ex-
tended until the entire half acre is cov-
ered with glass. In such an event, of
course, the grower will have to depend
entirely on the outside for his soil and
manure, but this is not a difficult prob-
lem in the vicinity of a city. The gross
income from such an establishment
should be from $10,000 to $12,000 and
the net income from $3,500 to $4,000.

Specialization in this field will be
conducted in about the same manner as
already described, except that the
grower will limit himself to one crop,
such as roses, carnations, or violets.
There are some advantages in tliis and
some disadvantages. The advantages
arise chiefly from the fact that it sel-
dom happens that all three crops fail in
one season, while it sometimes occurs
that one crop, for reasons which cannot
well be controlled, either falls off ma-
terially or else fails completely. A com-
plete failure, however, is or should be
very infrequent unless through bad
management or lack of knowledge on
the part of the grower.

Specialization offers opportunities for
growing crops of the highest quality
and for competing in the market for the
very best prices. The cost of such work
is practically about the same as for
general flower growing, already de-
scribed. The opportunities, however, are
more restricted, for the reason that to
compete in this field one must grow the
very best material. In other words, to
be a specialist means the growing of the
very best crops. To be a specialist, fur-
thermore, means certain knowledge and
a certain temperament which are diffi-
cult to find. The general gardener, or
one who has been trained in the growing
of a number of crops, very frequently
fails when he attempts to specialize, be-
cause he knows too much about too
many things to make a good specialist.

Some of the best specialists in violet
growing are men who have known little
or nothing about growing any other
crops, and have gone into the business

from the workshop or from the farm.
Going into business in this way, the pro-
spective grower has no preconceived ideas
or notions about how the crops should
be handled; his whole mind is centered
on one thing, and he is not carried away
by suggestions coming to him as the re-
sult of former experience in producing
other crops.

Wlhat is stated here in regard to the
owner is applicable, of course, to the
men whom the owner must secure for his
help. Given a bright, quick-witted young
man, with no prejudiced views as to the
growing of crops, he will in most cases
make a better specialist than one who
has had considerable training in general
gardening work.

Plant Growing as a Specialty.

The growing of bedding and ornamen-
tal plants as a specialty is a field which
is comparatively limited. The great im-
provement in transportation facilities
has made it practicable to ship plants
long distances; hence these plants are
now turned out very cheaply and by the
million in large establishments remote
from the points where they are to be
sold. Such being the case, the opportu-
nities for the small specialist are few
and growing fewer. If the field is en-
tered at all, it should be considered main-
ly from the standpoint of getting into
touch with some already existing large
establishment with a view to obtaining
experience and with the ultimate view of
pushing the business to such a point
that large shipping facilities may be
developed.

able fiidd in the growing of plant-
under glass. It is most profitable foi
the reason that there is a greater de-
mtiiid for cut flowers than for vege-
tables, and while the risks in some case-
are' greater the jirofits are correspond
ingly large. The work in this field ma\
lie df twii kinds, tiie growing of mixed
crojis. dr specializatidii witli one cri'l
ahuie.

l!y mixed crops is meant the growin;^
of three or more crops of flowers, such
as roses, carnations, violets and chrys-
anthemums. In this field the best open
ings are to be found near cities with a
population of from 10,000 to .')0,00i'.
TJiero is always a demand in cities ot
this size for cut flowers, ami this de
niand is frequently increased if ther^
are any special institutions in or near

Starting witli such au area of land,
'hreo houses may be constructed, each
• It a cost of $].00(). Ill these niay be
-iiown roses, carnations anil violets. In
'liis ei-)iinoct ion it is nt^cessary to em-
i'liasize the fact that these ciuik can-
'"'V be successt'ully grown all in the
-■I'lie hous(\ l-'adi requires a speidal
■'■iiip*'t';iture and special treatment, and
'"'lice the necc-i-iitv I'or dixisidii of labor.

With the land i-osting $."11(1. three
houses $3,000, general eciuipment $."jn(i,
and a home for the grower costing at
least $1,000, we have an investment of
$5,000. The gross income from smdi a
place should be at least from $;>.0(hi to
$3,500 annually and the net incotin'
from $1,800 to" $2,000.

If such au ostablishmeiit is rightly
jdanned in the beginning, it may be ex-
tended until the entire half a«'re is cov
ered with glass. In such au event, of
course, the grower will have to depon<i
entirely on the outside for his soil and
manure, but this is not a ditficult jind)-
lem iu th(3 \icinity of a city. The gioss
income frouL such an estaljlishuieiit
should be from $10.fi(iti to $1l'.(I()0 and
the net income from $;i,5(i() to $4.(in().

Specialization in this tield will be
conducted in al)0ut the same manner as
already described. except that tin-
grower Aviil limit himself to one crop,
such as roses, carnations, or \iidets.
There are some a>lvantages in this and
some disadvantages. The ad\antages
arise chiefly from the fact that it s(d-
dom happens that all thret,' crojis fail in
one season, while it sometimes (ici-urs
that one crop, tor ie;isoiis which canimt:
well be controllecl, cither falls (dV ma-
terially or else fails complttcly. A i-om-
j)lete failure, however. i< m- siiould b''

Sjiecializat ion oIV<ts uji|MiitinHt ies fur
growing crops of the highest, iiuality
and for competing in the market for the
\cry best j.rices. The i-o^i of such work
is ]»ractically about the same as for
general flower growing, already de-
scribed. The o]iportunities, however, are
more restricted, t"or the reason that to
compete in this field one nnist gmw th«
\ery best materi.al. In other words, to
be a sjiecialist meaii< the growing of th<-
very best crops, 'fo be a specialist, fur
theiinore, means certain knowledjri' and
a certain temjierament which ;ire dilli
cult to find. The general gardener, or
ime who has been traine<l in the growiny
of a number of erojis, very freciuently
fails when he attempts to specialize, be-
caus(> he knows tnn niuch about tof^
many thiiii^s to make a jjood specialist.

Some ot' the best specialists in violet
growing are men who ha\i' known little
or lidthin^' about growing any nther
crii|is. and have <.fiin'' into llic business

fiMin the \vorkslio|i or I'miii the farm,
(ioiiio- jiitd l)usiness in this way, the jiro-
siiective grower has no preconceived ideas
or notions about how the ci'ops shouhl
lie haiiillel; his whole mind is ciMitered
on luie thing, and he is not c.-iiried away
by suggestions coming to liiiii as the le
suit of t'oianei- experience in |)roduciiig
otiier crops.

What is stated hiMc in reyard to the
owner is ajiplicable, of course, to the
men whom the owner must secure for iiis
help, (iiveii a bright, (|uick-witted young
man, with no prejudiced \ iews as to the
growing of Clops, he will in most cases
make a better specialist than one who
has had consideralile training in general
gardening work.

Plant Growing as a Specialty.

The erowin^ ot' bedding and ornameii
tal plants as a sjiecialty is a lield wliiidi

The Weekly Florists' Review*

January 4, 190G.

A ST. LOUIS STORE.

The accompaDying illustrations show
the establishment of Fred H. Weber, St.
Louis, as it appeared during the chry-
santhemum season. Mr. Weber has a
very attractive street front, giving an
excellent view of the interior of his store.
He always carries a liberal stock, which
progressive retailers have found to be
one of the secrets of success.

THE HOLIDAY BUSINESS.

The reports of Christmas trade agree
on one point, that it was the heaviest
Christmas on record. This appears to
have been the case without exception
from Maine to Texas and from Florida
to Oregon. There is various report as
to the supply. In eastern markets the
quantities of material available, espe-
ciallv cut flowers, were just about equal
to the requirements and the same holds
true of the west, but in the Mississippi
valley there was a shortage, most acute
at Chicago, possibly because that is
where the largest demand centers. In

it was observed by some of the leading
retailers that the demand for specimen
plants and made up baskets did not sho'w
an increase; that the best trade was
again tending toward cut flowers. Fash-
ion is fickle. That which is commonest is
least likely to be popular with the
wealthy classes, but the whims which af-
fect the leading New York stores need
afford little concern to the average
florist.

UNSIGNED QUERIES.

A great many inquiries reach the Ee-
viEW which cannot receive the attention
which would be accorded them had the
writer not failed to sign his name. Many
inquiries relate to such old and frequently
discussed subjects that it is impractical
to publish answers. Where the writer
gives no name or address it is impossible
to reply by mail.

Such an inquiry from F. B. W. asks:
"How high should Harrisii now be to be
in time for Easter?" This inquiry is
received on the average of twice a week.

E. S. B., Chicago, writes that he is

sending diseased cuttings of geraniums.
Had he signed his name and address, we
should ' have written him that the cut-
tings did not come to hand.

Another query relates to Carnation
Victory. Had th^ •vyriter signed his name
we should have taken, pleasure in refer-
ring him* to A. J. Guttman, New York.

MISSISSIPPL

Interior of the Store of Fred H. Weber, St. Louis.

Land of Horticultural Promise.

As an old reader of the Review I would
likd to call the attention of the trade to
the possibilities of the south and Missis-
sippi in particular, for growing every-
thing to feed and clothe mankind, also
to heal him in sickness. Vegetables of
all kinds grow of finest quality and to
enormous size. Nuts are native. I have
tried many varieties of pecan and Eng-
lish walnuts and the sweetest and finest-
flavored grow near here.

The forests abound in wild grapes, fine
as cranberry for jelly for turkey. In
the gardens grow the cultivated grapes,
large and luscious, but in these fruits
that look like any other we see some-
thing indefinable, almost mysterious, in
the exquisite flavor, like flavors I have
tasted only in the fruits of Sicily.

Cotton is king but the white mulberry
grows luxuriantly, awaiting the silk grow-
ers. A large variety of medicinal plants,
to import which we pay hundreds of
thousands of dollars yearly, grow wild,
choking the ditches and making lanes of
the highways. An experiment, a lone,
uncared-for camphor tree was the only
green thing in the orchard in the deep
of winter last year when a hog got in.
The camphor tree was sick a long time
(I am sorry I cannot make the same re-
port of the hog) but is now sending up
a strong, well-branched shoot and has
not been cared for, all of which I think
shows the staying qualities of the cam-
phora.

On the hills around Vicksburg a for-
tune awaits a grower of roses. On the
famous French and Italian Eiviera I
have not seen as superb flowers as in the
private gardens there.

As to schools and society, social life
in the towns and cities is in Mississippi
about as it is anywhere else. Anyone

eastern markets good prices were real-
ized, probably as high as ever before.
In cities west of Buffalo record prices
were paid because of the shortage of
stock and because retailers had taken
orders without first assuring themselves
of supplies. A dollar apiece has been
the standard Christmas price for Beauties
in the markets of the middle west, but
this year enough were wholesaled at $15
and $18 a dozen to establish a new value
and probably next year's advance price
lists will show the result. New high
record prices for carnations were also
made, but this has been an almost an-
nual occurrence since the fancy sorts
have been offered. The novelties al-
ways command extra figures and it is
easy in times of shortage to include a
few of the standard varieties at the
prices for novelties.

Flowering plants sold exceptionally
well and stocks were larger than ever
before. Many cities are not yet edu-
cated to the point of buying the com-
bination hampers of plants but are pre-
pared to take great quantities of well-
grown specimens with some sort of a pot
or ribbon embellishment. In New York

without introduction will acquire it
slowly. In the country, as in other coun-
tries, it is more or less according to dis-
tance apart, conditions of roads, etc.
As to the schools, I am told by more than
one, my informants including teachers
and parents of both north and south,
that the teachers are better paid than
in the north and east, are educated and
■competent and the smaller number of
pupils, owing to smaller population, en-
ables them to give the pupils greater in-
dividual attention.

As to health, I have seen people who
in the middle states have been troubled
by malaria, chills and fever, cease hav-
ing them here and it is a usual thing
for pale and sickly women and children
to immediately become robust and rosy.

For three or four weeks in the middle
of winter we have a cold that bites as
hard and in summer heat that is as un-
comfortable as anywhere else, but neither
last long enough to wear upon the con-
stitution.

Bounded on one side by the great river,
on another by a beautiful stretch of salt
water, where ride the ships of all na-
tions, to the east the great and beauti-
ful mountains, where vegetation is almost
tropical in its luxuriance, is not Missis-
sippi worth considering as to the possi-
bilities for our trade rapidly opening
there? E. B. C.

Glencoe, III. — Edward Jordan, the
colored florist, died on Sunday, Decem-
ber 24.

Lyons, Kan. — Mrs. H. B. Smith says
the holiday trade was very good this
year and more stock might easily have
been sold. She says she could always
«ell more, but for the fact that customers
are afraid to order ahead for fear prices
will be too high for them.

SHAEFFER FLORAL CO.

llie accompanying illustration is
from a photograph of the Chas. A.
Shaeffer Floral Co. 's new retail store
at aOS Walnut street, Kansas City. This
was^ opened only a few weeks ago, and
is ope of the finest and best appointed
cut 'flower stores in the west. It is* fin-
ished in quarter sawed Finish oak,
witlf large French plate mirrbrs on the
sout^ side of the room, with marble
couiter and wrapping table, while the
cashier's desk occupies the «orth side.
A cozy corner is provided for the lady
patrons, fitted up with easy chaiirs and
a dainty writing desk. Across the rear
of the room extends one of the hand-
somest cut flower refrigerators in this
country. The front is of plate glass and
the interior is» fitted up with French
mirrors and lighted with incandescent
lights. This firm did an enormous holi-
day business, much greater than they
expected so soon after their start. L.

erect, brilliant and of perfect form. If
it will only come like this in England it
is quite worthy of the gold medal N. E.
S, awarded it at Glasgow in 1903.— Gar-
deners' Magazine.

Vegetable Forcing.

Aurora, III. — Vegetable forcing ia a
novelty here and the W. B. Davis A Co.
plant attracts much attention. There
are two houses 30x200 in cucumbers.
Visitors' days are advertised and do
much to help local 'trade.

• ROSE HUGH DICKSON,

The hybrid perpetual Hugh Dickson,
raised by Hugh Dickson & Sons, is a va-
riety of much promise. The color is what
we want, bright scarlet-crimson, with
orange glow, like Horace Vernet at its
best. Flowers pointed, deep petals, good
form, a trifle small perhaps, but last-
ing and keeping color. As the blooms
are pendant, and it is not free flowering,
it cannot be recommended for garden
purposes, but as an exhibition rose it has
a future. Growth vigorous, foliage hand-
some. The Irish climate evidently suits
it, for the raiser has exhibited grand
blooms this year, especially at the N. E.
S. autumn show, where seven glorious
unsurpassed flowers were staged in the
vase class, every flower on stout wood.

VEGETABLE MARKETS.

Chicago, January 3. — Cucumbers, $1

to $1.75 doz. ; leaf lettuce, 80c case;

head lettuce, $2 to $3 bbl.; tomatoes,
$1.25 to $2.25 case.

Boston, January 2. — Cucumbers, $2.50
to $11 box; lettuce, 50c to 90c doz,; rad-
ishes, $2.25 box; tomatoes, 35c to 40c
lb. ; parsley, $2 box ; mushrooms, $2 to
$2.50 per jfour-pound package.

New York, January 2.— Boston cu-
cumbers, $1 to $1.50 doz.; head lettuce,
25e to $1 doz.; radishes, $2 to $3 100
bunches; mushroom?, 10c to 40c lb.; toma-
toes, 10c to 30e lb.

THE SEED ORDER.

The avoid disappointment and delay,
the seed order should be made ready and
placed in the seedsman 's hands in good
time. It is better for the buyer and
better for the seedsman, as it gives him
a chance to execute your order without
undue hurry and insures against mis-
takes. Most seedsmen in their price

lists give the advice, ' * Order early, ' ' but
this good advice is too often overlooked;
consequently the orders come all in a
rush and all are wanted immediately,
where a little forethought would be of
material advantage to all parties con-
cerned.

Though the majority of seed houses
use great care in the selection of their
seeds and try to have them as reliable
as possible, there are so many things to
contend with, that a full percentage of
germination cannot always be relied on,
and it is well to have the seeds in hand
long enough before sowing time to give
a chance to test them and see just what
percentage of the different varieties can
be relied on. Then the seeds can be
sown thickly or thinly, according to the
percentage of germination. It is very
disappointing to have to waste titae and
space on a flat of seeds in which only
a half or two-thirds crop comes up.

The best way to test the seeds is to
count out fifty or 100 seeds of each va-
riety, sow each in a separate space and
give every possible advantage as regards
suitable soil, temperature and care. When
well up count the number of plants and
make a careful note of each variety.
Then you will know pretty near what
you are doing when sowing time comes
and know just what you can reasonably
expect from each flat sown.

Regarding varieties, it is always best
to stick mainly to the old standard kinds,
as they are sure to be in greatest de-
mand, but it is well to try new kinds
as they come out, on a limited scale,
and after you are satisfied that you have

A good, reliable, early variety of cauli-
flower is Dwarf Erfurt and the seed is
a good deal cheaper than Snowball, but
there is usually a call for this latter va-
riety, 80 that it is necessary to grow
more or less of it.

New York Spineless egg plant is a
standard variety that one makes no mis-
take in growing plenty of.

Of the numerous varieties of celery
we grow but two. White Plume for early
and Golden Dwarf for late.

In tomatoes the variety is bewildering
and many of them are worth growing,
but if confined to two I would choose
Freedom for early and Stone for main
crop.

In peppers both Ruby King and Bull-
nose are old, reliable varieties, that no
one can make any mistake in growing.

BEGONIA VARIATIONS.

I have frequently referred to the sub-
ject of selections for stock purposes, and
the natural variations found among
plants now receives more attention than
formerly. At the last meeting of the
Royal Horticultural Society, we had a

something good you can confidently rec-
ommend them to your customers another
season.

In lettuce for spring planting, T think
we have nothing better than the old Bos-
ton Market. Big Boston makes a fine,
large head, but is not quite so hardy as
the former and liable to suffer more if
subjected to a cold snap. Deacon is an-
other good, hardy, reliable sort.

In cabbage, Jersey Wakefield is, in
my opinion, the leader for early, with
Danish Ballhead or Succession for sec-
ond early.

; good instance of this, when H. B. May
; submitted four different selections from
begonias. They were not considered suf-
ficiently distinct to gain awards yet they
' were undoubtedly an advance on the va-
I rious sorts from which they were se-
lected. The original parent of all was
Gloire de Lorraine. Masterpiece, selected
from the original form, had large
foliage, strong flower stems, and richly
colored flowers; and if not sufliciently
distinct for a new name, should be worth
keeping for stock purposes, and may de-
serve to be called "improved." The

same may be said of Marie, which is a
selection from Mrs. Leopold de Roth-
schild, and showed, as exhibited, a de-
cided advance. Mont Blanc, a selection
from Turnford Hall, also showed more
vigor, and flowers of better substance,
and they also appeared to have less pink
in them; but it is difficult to say from
a single specimen if this character is
likely to be sustained. Rosea crispata I
should hardly consider distinct enough
to merit notice, yet even with this, if
seen in a batch with the parent, its dis-
tinctness might be more apparent. I
recommend all who grow these valuable
winter-flowering plants to be careful to
select the very best only for stock. It
has now become quite established as a
market plant, and only requires care in
keeping to the best and strongest forms
to further enhance its value. When I
first grew this begonia I hardly expected
to see it make such plants as are now
grown. It seems capable of increasing
in vigor from year to year; this is, prob-
ably, owing to its being perfectly abor-
tive. Some plants shown at the Crystal
Palace on December 6 and 7 measured
fully two feet in height and probably
more in diameter.

Begonia Myra, one of the hybrids of
the same type as Mrs. J. Heal, shown
at the Crystal Palace by H. Cannell &
Sons, was specially worthy of note, cer-
tainly one of the best of its class; the
plants were covered with large blooms of
a deep rose pink, and there is a possi-
bility of this making a good market
plant. — Horticultural Advertiser.

RED ANTS.

Please tell me the best remedy for
red ants in the palm house and on orchids.
They are very destructive to blooms and
buds. R. W.

The safest method to use against these
troublesome pests in the palm and orchid
houses would be to trap them. This may
be accomplished by dipping some pieces
of sponge in sweet oil and then laying
them on the benches among the plants,
where the ants will soon find them. In
a short time the sponges will be well
filled with the insects, when they may
be gathered up and thoroughly scalded
with boiling water. By repeating this
process from time to time the ants will
soon be thinned out. W. H. Taplin.

JAMES COYLE.

In the New York wholesale cut flower
district everybody knows Jimmie Coyle
and to know him is to be his friend. For
eighteen years Mr. Coyle, although now
only 33 years of age, has been identified
with the wholesale cut flower industry on
Manhattan Island. He began his experi-
ences with the veteran James Hart. For
ten years he was on the staff of Thos.
Young, Jr., and later was with the New
York Cut Flower Co. When Mr. Ghorm-
ley embarked in the business Mr. Coyle
shortly became his manager. It was a
team which built up a splendid business.
Since Ihe death of Mr. Ghormley and the
taking over of the business by H. E.
Froment, Mr. Coyle retains his position,
with a practical interest in the business.
He is a member of the Masonic Frater-
nity and the New York Florists' Club,
a jovial, light hearted, energetic son of
the Emerald Isle with whom the fates
always deal gently.

NEV YORK.

The Market

Christmas week was excellent and so
it was with happy faces the "Happy
New Year" greetings were given in the
floricultural domain. New Year's eve
churches, theaters, hotels and streets
were crowded beyond all past experiences
and for hours pandemonium reigned. It
was a glorious welcome and the young-
ster 1906 was ushered in by a climate
that made his pictured garb entirely ap-
propriate. The fact is there has not
yet been felt the breath of winter and
before we know it Easter will be here.
A dozen weeks soon pass, only eleven
more as you read this letter and the
great festival of Christendom arrives.

Business was good all through the
holiday week. Wholesale prices were
satisfactory to all except the retailers,
and they were so busy they had little
to complain of. No one had cause to
say anything but good of Christmas. It
surprised even the most optimistic. There
were not enough plants left after Mon-
day to make any window respectable and
the call for cut flowers maintained the
best Christmas prices to the very close
of the day; in fact, everything really
good was taken. The pickled roses, the
sleepy carnations and the scentless vio-
lets found no legitimate takers at any
price and reached the streets, the ash
barrels and oblivion, where they belong.
Let us hope the lesson may have some
good effect on the shortsighted perpe-
trators of the perennial iniquity.

Prices are gradually approaching nor-
mal values. Beauties held at $1 for the
best up to Saturday night, and Brides,
Maids and Richmonds were firm at splen-
did prices. Violets dropped to $1 for
specials and carnations gradually re-
ceded to their regular values, the novel-
ties holding well above the rest, as they
deserve to.

Various Notes.

Don 't forget the club meeting next
Monday evening. Secretary Young will
care for any exhibits sent him. The
new officers will wax eloquent. The
great flower show to beat those of Chi-
cago and Kansas City will be discussed
and some familiar faces that have trav-
eled far are locked for and some stories
of western floriculture are anticipated.
There will be the usual refreshments.
Altogether it will be a meeting worth

James Coyle.

while, and the new president deserves
encouragement.

The new bowling club meets Tuesday.
Officers will then be elected and an ex-
cellent membership is now assured. The
alleys in the Coogan building are very
convenient. The club has a section all
to itself.

H. E. Froment reports that Christmas
trade made a larger total than the house
showed last year.

Louis Dupuy, of Whitestone, had a
narrow escape from a serious accident
last week when his horse ran away and
he was thrown from the buggy. What
he said in French when he landed is un-
translatable.

Next week Wednesday comes the
Madison smoker, the following evening
the Red Bank Society's banquet and if
Tarrytown follows its usual custom there
will be its annual feast the same week
and day of Madison 's, both of them too
good to miss. There should be a com-
promise and a ' ' getting together. ' ' These
reunions mean much for harmony, good
cheer and inspiration.

Traendly & Schenck made the mid-
night hour Christmas eve memorable by
an elaborate caterer's spread for their
friends and employees.

One of the happiest of the all-nighters
was the youthful Johnny Wier, of Brook-
lyn, looking exactly as I remember him
in 1890 and in especially good humor
on this occasion.

The Brooklyn florists all acknowledge
the best Christmas in their memories.
The fact is the village across the bridge
is fast becoming citified and folks over
there buy something more than rubber
plants and baby carriages. With its
million and a half of people it is ad-

vancing rapidly. Its 400 feel just as
important as the society contingent in
New York and buy almost as many
flowers, while its wholesale stores and
supply houses are quite metropolitan and
make it very independent.

All the supply houses were completely
sold out. To specify would be to men-
tion all of them. There were no ex-
ceptions.

With the advent of Christmas comes
the announcement of the new ribbon
house of Wertheimer Bros., of 463
Broadway, succeeding that of Lion &
Wertheimer. Some fine novelties may
safely be anticipated in 1906, and a fine
exhibit at Mr. Altick 's bailiwick in Au-
gust. Ribbons were used profusely at
Christmas, of every size, kind and style.
Schloss Bros, and Rodh say the demand
from florists was far in advance of other
years.

Kuebler moves to his new store on
Willoughby street, Brooklyn, this week.

Hicks & Crawbuck are settled again
after their fire, and their big Christmas
trade was not seriously interfered with.

.J. K. Allen's advance orders for
("liristmas exceeded all former expe-
riences.

M. A. Purdy states that he has re-
signed as manager of the Dutchess
County Violet Co. and will devote his
time to his business at 1590 Broadway.

Dr. D. T. MacDougal has severed his
long connection with the New York Bo-
tanic Garden to become director of the
botanical department of the Carnegie
Institute, Washington.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

January 4, 1906.

celebrated the new regime, or rather the
continuance of the old.

The Outlook.

The outlook is bright for the florists'
business in every department. Nursery-
men, seedsmen, growers, wholesalers and :'
retailers, never were the signs so pro-
pitious, never the conditions so inspiring.
Slowly but surely the general prosperity
has come as it always does, last to the
horticultural world, for it is proverbial,
that we are the first to feel the decad-
ence of beom times and the last to join
in thei benefits of the years of plenty.
In each <<)f the branches of this great de-
partmenjj of the world's progress there
has b^ri a year of wonderful prosperity,
and tye\i9oming year promises to far ex-
ceed all "the accomplishments of the past.
; J. Austin Shaw.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

Business in cut flowers has been very
good 8in<Je Christmas. Stock has been
none too plentiful, which made it pos-
sible tor 1i>e vcommission men to hold
close to Christmas prices until New
Year's day. The new year was ushered
in witih great demonstration, but trade
is not near so brisk as a week ago.
Still, Wme of the up-town florists report
quite m trade in decorations and cut
flowers. The down-town florists have
nothing out of the ordinary to do, ex-
cept ^ lot of funeral work, which is
keeping them on the jump. The weather
has been very favorable to trade in all
lines. The month of January is much
devoted to social festivities, so quite" a
few decorations for receptions, weddings
and balls have been booked with the
west end florists.

Stock the past ^eek cleaned up fast
at just a trifle less than Christmas prices
on everything except violets, which went
down to 75 cents per hundred for the
best Californias. Fancy long Beauties
were very scarce, shorts quite enough,
although mostly bull-headed. Brides,
Maids, Eichmonds and other varieties
were not near enough for the demand.
In carnations the supply kept up pretty
well, with the demand as great as ever.
Fancies are still $8 per hundred for En-
chantress and Lawson. Harrisii and cal-
las were much sought after for funeral
work. Valley had a big call all week.
Eomans and narcissi are fine and plenti-
ful. Smilax, asparagus and adiaatum
are in full supply.

Christmas With Retailers.

George Waldbart's trade was clean
and complete and the place the day after
looked like a frame house struck by
lightning with only the rafters standing.

F. C. Weber had his handsome store
finely decorated and considered business
ahead of last year, blooming plants sell-
ing better than ever before.

Kalisch & Sons did a large business
with both plants and cut flowers. They
had a handsome window, with electrical
effects, which attracted a great deal of
attention.

Theodore Miller's place was well filled
with fine blooming stock. Trade was
good in all lines.

C. C. Sanders reports an excellent
trade. A lot of splendid poinsettias in
pans were seen. These sold better than
last year.

Mrs. M. M. Avers' handsome show

house never looked more beautiful than
during the holidays. Business was
great.

Michel's, where Harry Eieman is in
charge, made a fine holiday display.

Miss M. S. Newman had all the busi-
ness she could attend to. Everything
sold.

The Ellison Floral Co. says trade was
away ahead of last year. Everything
sold cle^.

F. H. Weber, John Henzel, F. J.
Windt and Meinhardt & Dirkies say
they never had a better Christmas trade.

Henry Ostertag' was all smiles when
asked as to holiday trade.. He had much
stock, but not near enough for the de-
mand.

Down town Youngs' place was as
handsome as any of them. Miss Bada-
racco, Eiessen Floral Co., Fred Foster,
St. Louis Palm Co. and Alex. Siegel did
a rushing business in cut stock.
' Down south Fillmore, Beyer, Schray,
Kruse, Windier, Bergerstermau, Eggling
and Walther did a great plant trade.
Cut stock was high, but sold well.

Up north all the florists had a rush,
especially Bentzen and Meinhardt, who
were kept on the jump all three days.

Various Notes.

L. Cella, of East St. Louis, has re-
turned from a trip south. Miss Jennie
Repeto attended to the business while
he was away.

Miss Schnell, on the east side, had a
rushing trade during Christmas.

Charlie Juengel made a fine decora-
tion the past week at.the opening of the
new turn hall in Soutn St. Louis.

Pilcher & Burrows have received a car
of wild smilax from the south, which is
in cold storage for the local demand.

Charlie Kuehn has recovered from his
rheumatic attack and is again in shape
to raise his right arm.

The Florists' Club's first meeting of
the year will take place next Thursday
afternoon, at 2 p. m. The president's
injunction to the members is: ** Start
the new year right by attending." Two
discussions will take place, one led by
Carl Beyer, on "Forcing Easter
Plants," the other by Otto Koenig,
"How to Manage a Flower Show."

The lady florists will have a bowling
afternoon at the Hamilton hotel this
week Thursday. All the ladies who took
part during the St. Louis convention
were invited.

The florist bowlers lost three games
on December 28 to the Hyde Parks.
The boys were clearly out of form from
the two weeks ' lay-off. Here 's how

TWIN CITIES.

The Market.

Business the past week has kept up
remarkably well, considering that be-
tween Christmas and New Year's a lull
is generally experienced. Prices also
have kept up well, although the majority
have found it impossible to get as much
for their stock as they did at Christ-
mris time. Brides, Maids and Gates have

sold the past week for $2.50 and $3 per
dozen, retail, while at Christmas they
were sold for $3 and $4. Prices on all
varieties have dropped in about the same
proportion. On carnations the drop was
not as heavy as on roses. Eoses are
not as good in quality, owing to the
greenhouses being pretty well cleaned
out for the Christmas trade, and what
stock has been brought in has been very
weak-stemmed. Some of our leading
places look very much as though every-
thing had been cut on which there was
any possible chance of sale. While poin-
settias did not sell as well as antici-
pated for cut flowers at Christmas, many
have been sold the past week. Poinset-
tias in pans sold well and commanded
good figures, ranging from $2 to $5.
The best selling sizes were about twelve
or fourteen inches high, three or four
being in a pan. In almost every store
they have one or two cases of holly left,
it being of an inferior grade.

Minneapolis.

Carl Johnson, in charge of the cut
flower department of the Powers Mer-
cantile Co., reports a big trade.
A large number of bells have been sold,
principally the paper ones; in fact, some
of the department stores sold more than
all the florists put together.

Donaldson's Glass Block also handled
immense quantities of stock and we are
informed maintained good prices through
the entire week. Their cut flower de-
partment is a large one, employing six
hands, and they were all kept busy.
Saturday night their large ice-box was
empty, with the exception of a few
jars of carnations.

Will & Son are cutting some fine car-
nations, which sell readily. They have
bought 1,500 boxes of glass for new
houses next spring.

Eice Bros, are handling considerable
stock, receiving the cut from a number
of greenhouses in the small towns tribu-
tary to Minneapolis.

St. Paul.

Gus Colberg, of the Swanson Floral
Co., reports good trade and seems to be
thoroughly satisfied with his share of the
business.

L. L. May & Co. are kept busy be-
tween their city and country trade. They
have the reputation of shipping possibly
more into the country than almost all
the other stores combined and their city
trade has also grown considerably. They
report an advance of thirty-three and
one-third per cent over any previous
year.

The Eamaley Floral Co. is also well
satisfied and reports selling large num-
bers of Christmas trees at fancy prices.

August Vogt says trade was never
better.

Chas. Vogt reports trade good, but
complains of some stock shipped to him,
especially in American Beauties. They
were tight in the bud and could stand
fully a week before they would show
any signs of opening.

Arnold Eingier, of the W. W. Barnard
Co., Chicago, was in town. Mr. Clausen,
a grower at Albert Lea, Minn., also
called.

S. Y. Haines, with L. L. May & Co.,
is the happy father of a bouncing girl.
Sam kept mum, but the boys got wise;
since that time he has had a nice box
of perfecto cigars on his desk.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market

Those carnation growers who sent in
their stock daily from Christmas to New
Year's realized a splendid average price,
\)ut those who saved up their cut and
sent it in Saturday, as many did, were
sorely disappointed, for although prices
were held up on Friday, much stock was
carried over and Saturday saw about
the lowest prices of the month, certainly
the lowest prices since the holidays hove
into sight.

There seems to be misapprehension as
to the character of New Year's. As a
flower day it doesn't amount to much.
Of course, society is active and there
are innumerable reception, dinner and
dance decorations, but the quantity of
stock called for is nothing compared to
the resources of this market when the
growers try to load it up. Again, the
principal shipping was on Friday, while
many growers did not come in until
Saturday afternoon, when there was
nothing but the local demand to depend
on. One grower is on record as having
sent nothing the whole week until Sat-
urday afternoon, when his shipment was
2,600 carnations. He probably thought
Christmas history was going to repeat
itself. But it was the other way
'round; stock that had commanded 5
cents, 6 cents and even 8 cents all week
was sold for 3 cents or even 2 cents and
did not clean up; some of it was even
carried to Monday and sold at $1 a hun-
dred.

Roses have been short of the demand
right along and Christmas prices were

still in force at New Year's, when qual-
ity would permit, but a large part of
the receipts have been off grade and not
wanted, for the demand in holiday week
is invariably for good stuff. Colored
roses had the call because of the many
decorations, but funeral work has also
been in demand and white roses have
found an easy outlet. Beauties held
their position well untU after New
Year's, but a change has sinc3 taken
place and prices are cut almost in half.
Tuesday saw a brisk business but rose
prices were down several notches.

Violets sold well Sunday and Monday
because of pleasant weather but supplies
were more than ample, low prices being
the inevitable result. Callas are abun-
dant and Easter lilies again coming in
more freely. Paper Whites are almost a
glut; they can be cleaned up only at low
prices. Not many Eomans are seen but
there is plenty of valley. Kennicotts
are still receiving chrysanthemums.

Green goods have been and are in
good demand. Smilax sells steadily and
a big business is done with asparagus.
The latter specialty is pretty well cut
out with some growers and prices have
advanced slightly.

The Year.

The Tribune in its summary of Chi-
cago's industrial progress puts down the
total for wholesale cut flowers at $1,-
850,000, in spite of the teamsters' strike,
an increase of about twenty per cent as
compared with 1904, which was an off
year with many. This is the way some
of the wholesalers report it:

Kennicott Bros. Co. — Had a bad Jan-
uary and February but made it up in

the summer and ended a little ahead of
the average year.

E. C. Amling. — Nice increase over last
year; especially good business on green
goods.

E. H. Hunt. — Satisfactory increase on
cut flowers; nearly doubled the supply
business.

Poehlmann Bros. Co. — Have consider-
able increase in glass and could not sup-
ply the demand; already at work on
280,000 feet more glass.

A. L. Randall Co. — Our business in-
creased more than twenty-five per cent.
Pleased? Well, hadn't wo ought to bef

J. A. Budlong.— It was a good year
for us; good crops and good market
most of the time.

George Reinberg.— Very much my
most successful year.

Bassett & Washburn.— Satisfied, but
expect 1906 to show better on our books-
our crops were late this fall because of
much rebuilding.

E. F. Winterson Co.— The teamsters'
strike hit us hard in the spring; had
fine fall business, but hadn't got ahead
of last year when the clock struck
twelve.

Peter Reinberg.— About the same as
1904; haven't the totals yet.

Percy Jones.— My business has in-
creased fully a fourth and all on the
:\rarket floor have done better than in
1904.

Benthey-Coatsworth Co.— The strike
hurt us in the spring, but otherwise the
year was very satisfactory.

Wietor Bros.— A splendid fall crop
of roses, especially Beauties, put us well
to the good with no new glass, and
we're still going.

Mention The Review when you write.

Various Notes.

The lecture. by Miss Sipe, of Wash-
ington, at the Art Institute last evening
brought out a good crowd. Miss Sipe
was as interesting as when she ad-
dressed the S. A. F. last August.

The Brant & Noe Floral Co., Forest
Glen, recently increased its capital stock
and will put up eight 300-foot houses in
the spring.

Fleischman had another large decora-
tion at Mandel's on Tuesday.

Weiland & Kisch say that Killarney
has done so well for them this fall that
they will build a new range for it in
the spring, probably eight or ten houses
27x200. They are booking many orders
for stock.

Lester L. Partridge, of Sharp, Part-
ridge & Co., says that the early orders
and inquiries for glass indicate the big-
gest season of greenhouse building to
(date. The flrtn has sold several car-lots
and a couple of orders call for two or
three cars each, with many buyers just
beginning to figure.

One of the week's visitors was J. L.
Stuppy, St. Joseph, Mo., who placed an
order for a car of glass and took esti-
mates on other material for half a dozen
houses he will build this season. An-
other visitor was W. W. Dederick, Ash-
ley, Ind., florist for the Wabash railroad.

W. H. Hilton leaves next week to
spend a month or two in Cuba, where he
has ten acres in oranges.

J. L. Easke, at the Board of Trade,
is making up some enormous sprays for
casket pieces, using Beauties, orchids
and valley.

Julius W. Niesen, on Forty-seventh
street near the "L, " Holden's old
stand, is doing a very nice business.
He carries a good stock and keeps his
store always attractive.

BROCKTON, MASS.

All the Brockton stores report a rec-
ord-breaking Christmas trade. Mrs.
Moir, on Centre street, reports much
larger sales on flowering plants, azaleas,
primulas, Lorraine begonias and cycla-
men selling best. There was not much
call for berried plants but palms and
ferns sold well. She had a big call for
evergreens. Carnations were the leaders
in cut flowers.

C. A. Bead had a splendid trade in
flowering plants, Lorraines and azaleas
being special favorites, while carnations
were in most request in cut flowers.
Roses sold very well.

W. W. Hathaway did a great busi-
ness. Carnations and roses sold best in
cut flowers. Violets were in short sup-
ply and chrysanthemums scarce. His
azaleas were very fine and sold well, also
poinsettias, Lorraine begonias, cycla-
mens, etc. There was little call for ber-
ried plants but palms sold well.

J. E. Daly is bringing quantities of
very fine Enchantress to the market.

Business since Christmas has re-
mained very good and prospects are
bright for a first-class season.

W. N. C.

BOSTON.

The Market.

Prices kept well up to the Christmas
mark for a few days, but are now some-
what lower. New Year's day does not
have much effect on the flower markets,
as the day is not kept as in some cities;
still, there was a very nice demand and
prices stiffened, especially on violets and
carnations. Koses are not very plenti-
ful and are making better figures than
a year ago. Beauties of the best grades
bring $50 to $75 per hundred. Liberty
and Richmond vary from $10 to $30 per
hundred. Extra quality Brides and
Maids make $3 per dozen, good select
stock going at $12 to $16 per hundred.
There is no surplus of any rose at pres-
ent.

Carnations vary from $3 to $6, whites
making the lower price, but even of these
there is little left over. Violets average
$1, some making $1.25, and poorer sam-
ples 75 cents. Lily of the valley sells
well at rather higher rates, the best
making $5, although sales at $6 have
been made. Sweet peas remain from 75
cents to $1 per hundred. A good num-
ber of Trumpet Major narcissi are com-
ing in and make $4 to $5 per hundred.
Freesias bring $3, callas and Harrisii
$12 per hundred. Poinsettias still come
in, but are not in much demand, and a
few straggling chrysanthemums are to
be seen. Green stuff remains about the
same. The markets clean up well- and
very little material has to be carried
over.

The Carnation Convention.

Interest in the convention to be held at
Horticultural hall on January 24 and
25 is steadily increasing and everything
points to its being a grand success.

The Copley square hotel, on Hunting-
ton avenue, will be the headquarters of
the A. C. S. The hotel management has
arranged to set aside a spacious, weU-
appointed room for the exclusive use of
members for committee and other meet-
ings. This hotel is within two minutes'
walk from either the Back Bay station
on the N. Y., N. H. & H. R. R. R. and
the Trinity Place station on the Boston
& Albany R. R. It is within five min-
utes ' walk to Horticultural hall and elec-
tric cars pass the doors several times a
minute. Delegates arriving at the North
Union station can take elevated trains
there and by changing at Park street
can be taken to the hotel doors in a few
minutes. Rates at the Copley Square are

$1.50 for a single person or $2 if two
persons use the room. With bath the
rate is $2.50 per day. There are sev-
eral other first-class hotels in close prox-
imity.

At present a number of Boston's
leading hotels are without licenses and
very dry, our new district attorney hav-
ing made things interesting for them of
late. New licenses are likely to be is-
sued before the A. C. S. assembles, how-
ever.

Preparations for the banquet on Janu-
ary 25 at the Copley Square hotel are
well advanced. An attendance of 200
or more is expected. Ladies will be in-
cluded.

All exhibits for the convention should
be addressed to W. P. Rich, 300 Massa-
chusetts avenue, Boston. They will be
well cared for on arrival, there being
some cool rooms at Horticultural hall in
which to place them.

Welch Bros, will be pleased to place
any flowers in their ice-boxes for in-
tending exhibitors who may desire to-
avail theflopelves of their facilities.

The Massachusetts Horticultural So-
ciety will hold a small mid-winter ex-
hibition in connection with the meeting
of the A. C. S. on January 24 and 25,
It will comprise Begonia Gloire de Lor-
raine, primulas, violets, freesias, carna-
tions and vegetables.

Less than 2,000 flowers were staged
when the A. C. S. last met in Boston.'
Few varieties then staged are now
grown, yet the exhibition was considered
a marvelous one at that time. What an
advance the coming convention will
show.

Christmas Aftermath.

Growers, dealers and rrtailers are of
one accord in regard to the late Christ-
mas trade beating all records. Seldom'
do we find such unanimity of opinion.

W. H. Elliott had 5,000 Liberty for
Christmas, a good proportion being
"extra specials." He likes Richmond
and will grow it more heavily next sea-
son.

William Sim, the violet and sweet pea
king, had 10,000 sweet peas and 70,000
single violets for Christmas. He had
also an extra large lot for New Year's
day, which sold well.

Galvin did an unprecedented Christ-
mas trade. A long string of hacks and'
automobiles were delivering plants and
flowers for him all Christmas morning.

Waban Conservatories had what wa&
described by a well-known rose grower
as "the finest lot of Beauties probably
«»ver seen in America." Certainly they
were of grand quality.

W. E. Doyle disposed of over 3,000-
Killarney. This rose is one of Mr.
Doyle's favorites.

The next meeting of the Gardeners'

night. Exhibits of new and standard
varieties will come from many growers.
M. A. Patten will speak on the carna-
tions of the past, Mr. Nicholson of the

what we may expect in the future. The
new oflScers will be installed and there
will be, as usual, other interesting fea-
tures which will draw a large atten-
dance.

Mann Bros, and Paine Bros, are send-
ing very fine yellow trumpet narcissi to

Carbone is showing some very nice
Baby Rambler roses.

C. W. Ward has been visiting some of
the leading carnation growers. He will
exhibit largely at the coming conven-
tion.

Doyle is showing some fine Marion
Pierce carnations. This variety is a
shade deeper than Enchantress and is
very promising.

The inaugural meeting of the Massa-
chusetts Horticultural Society will take
place on January 6, at 12 o'clock. The
lecture season commences a week later.

William Nicholson has a fine batch of
Carnation Aristocrat, which he has been
growing for Eichard Witterstaetter. It
is now producing some very fine flowers
and should be seen in fine shape at the
convention.

There are general complaints about
Fiancee carnation splitting badly in this
section. One or two batches recently
seen had not a single perfect flower.

The proverbial oldest inhabitant can-

not remember so remarkable a season
climatically as we have had for the past
four months. In that period we have
had only twenty-four days on which any
rain fell and the amount of sunshine has
not been equalled in the same months
for many years. On December 28 and
29, maximum shade temperatures of 60
degrees were recorded. The daily press
advised us that "trees were budding,
blue birds singing and many snakes had
been seen." The last statement is gen-
erally true on or immediately following
any of the holidays.

Death of Louis Lang.

The death of Louis Lang, Sr., a for-

home, 271 North Division street, Decem-
ber 26. Mr, Lang had been retired from
business for about ten years, but had
enjoyed good health until a week ago,
when he was seized with paralysis, which
caused his death. A native of Wurtem-
berg, Mr. Lang emigrated to this coun-
try forty-five years ago and came almost
immediately to Buffalo. He had learned
the trade of a florist in his mother coun-
try and after a few years in the employ
of a local firm, he established a place
of his own at 250 North Division street,
where he conducted a successful business
for thirty-five years. He was at one time
prominent in the Florists' Club, but had
not been active since his retirement ten
years ago. He is survived by two sons,
Louis, Jr., and John Lang, and two
daughters, Mrs. Edward H. Kraus and
Bertha Lang.

PHILADELPHIA,

The Market

The market conditions were favorable
all through Christmas week. The supply
was fair, with sufficient demand to keep
prices higher than usual during the last
days of the year.

New Year's business was good, espe-
cially on fancy stock. There was not
enough demand to maintain the high
prices on ordinary grades. Tempted by
the weather, the street men invested
largely in single violets on New Year's
day.

There is much social activity this
week. In town there are quite a number
of handsome dinners and some large en-
tertainments, including the first Assem-
bly ball, which occurs on Friday. Out
of town there is considerable activity.

Single daffodils are becoming more
plentiful, as is white lilac.

CXtr Beauty Specialists.

When it became known on the street
that "Marty had hit it again" the Ke-
viEW correspondent made efforts to learn
something of the great crop of Ameri-
can Beauty roses that Myers & Samtman
had harvested for Christmas. Through
the courtesy of a member of the firm it
was learned that the cut had been larger
than ever before at the holidays, which
is wonderful, as they have been very
successful in past seasons. Besides their
own customers they supply the Leo Nies-
sen Co., of this city, and J. B. Murdoch
& Co., of Pittsburg. The firm reports
that the demand for fancy Beauties at
$1.5 and $18 a dozen was heavy, lasting
right up to Christmas morning. The
prices in the medium grades reached a
new high water mark. Myers & Samt-
man firmly believe that the prices paid
by the public for flowers at the holidays
entitle them to absolutely fresh stock.
Their large cut is due to clever manage-
ment of the plants and not to salting
the flowers.

Mr, Fox's Views,

The Review, wishing to give its read-
ers some food for thought regarding the
possibilities of Christmas, sent Phil to

city retailers, men of brains and artistic
skill who guide the public taste in no
small measure. Among these men Charles
Fox, genial, enterprising, resourceful, a
man who has made his mark in the
world of flowers, expressed views worthy
of attention. Mr. Fox believes that the
greatest possibilities for development in
the Christmas business for the general
florist lie in the arrangement of small
flowering plants with foliage or foliage
plants. There will always be buyers for
choice cut flowers, but for the buyer who
feels that the life of a cut blossom is too
brief to be worth many dollars a dozen
the basket tastefully filled with poinset-
tias and ferns presents a delightful ave-
nue of escape. The demand for small
poinsettias in 3-inch and 4-inch pots has
never, Mr. Fox states, been satisfied.
There are other plants that might, with
profit, be more extensively grown in
small sizes for this purpose.

A Grand Ball.

The ball season commenced the very
next day after Christmas, the Benedicts',
the Bachelors' and Mrs. Clark's oc-
curring on succeeding nights. Mrs.
Clark 's is considered the handsomest of
the many handsome balls that have taken
place in Horticultural hall, the floral
artists, J. J. Habermehl's Sons, being
highly complimented on their work. The
dancing floor was completely surrounded
by foliage and flowers. The walls were
draped with southern smilax. The tall
windows were curtained with the same
graceful green brought back by bands of
scarlet carnations. In the window seats
were Easter lilies and poinsettias taste-
fully grouped. On the walls in the space
between the windows were placques cov-
ered with green plush, studded with elec-
tric lights of the same colors, and fur-
ther enriched by clusters of flowers.

Foliage plants were arranged in fes-

toons on the floor around the dancing
floor, the idea being to bring the outer
edge of each festoon just far enough
into the ball room to shelter from the
on-coming dancers a few easy chairs set
in the spaces between. A bright-colored
specimen azalea marked the outer curve
of each festoon. The musicians on the
stage were embowered in a garden of
palms and ferns, relieved by bright
azaleas and poinsettias, the object being
to beautify the stage, not to hide the
band of musicians. On each end of the
stage conversation rooms were arranged
by means of curtains with rugs, sofas,
chairs, all the elegancies of refined civ-
ilization. They were elegancies, for
here, as on the dancing floor and else-
where, the luxurious new chairs with the
letter "H" stamped on the back of
each were used for the first time. The
great chandelier was a blaze of light,
softened by graceful foliage. The broad
stairways and the balcony were draped
with wild smilax and decorated with
specimen palms, azaleas and cibotiums.
Everywhere green, scarlet and white and
no other colors. John P. Habermehl gave
every detail of the work his personal at-

the carnations he is distributing.

Robert Crawford, Jr., believes that
carnations should never be put in water
before shipping to market. Mr. Craw-
ford's opinion as a successful retailer is
of value.

State of Business.

Christmas trade in Lansing was all
that could be desired. The local florists
were busy taking orders several days
ahead and most of them were obliged to
work all day Sunday and Christmas to
get off their deliveries, as many custom-
ers put off their orders until the last
moment, requiring extra shipments which,
in most cases, arrived late. The carna-
tion is the popular flower here and, as
usual, was in great demand, the supply
being inadequate. Roses and violets also
sold well and, as a whole, stock was of
good quality. Red, of course, was scarce
and could not be had at any price.
Poinsettias, although popular elsewhere,
do not find a ready sale here, possibly
on account of their high price. Bloom-
ing plants sold well, although the de-
mand was mostly for cut flowers.

On December 21 the funeral of J. E.
St. John made a great demand for flow-
ers. Many beautiful floral pieces were
turned out, among them being a casket
blanket and a large standing wreath, by
the Lansing Floral Co. The blanket
was flve feet wide and six feet long,
made up of Perle and Meteor roses,
Roman hyacinths and plumosus. The
700 boys of the Industrial School, of
which the deceased was superintendent,
contributed toward the standing wreath,
which was five and one-half feet high,
the upper part being made of white
roses and violets with a bow of white
ribbon and cluster of Enchantress carna-
tions at one side. The base was com-
posed of callas. Paper White narcissi and
ferns.

The days between Christmas and New
Year's were also busy ones. The three

G. B. Smith is also improving his place

bulk of her stock being shipped to the
Chicago market.

mer and is doing nicely. He and Mr.

PARKERSBURG, W. VA.

With fine, open weather and liberal
local advertising holiday trade was far
above former years.. The sale of potted
plants doubled. Poinsettias, azaleas,
Lorraine begonias and cyclamens, well
dressed with ribbons, were the leaders.
Pans of narcissi sold well. Primulas
were popular, as the price suited the
most humble purses. In cut flowers En-

chantress carnation was easily the
leader J $2 per dozen was the price.
Other varieties sold at $1.50. Eoses
were in demand, the best Chatenay,
Ivory and Gate, bringing $4 to $5 per
dozen. Violets sold out early, singles
at $3, double at $4 per hundred.

The florists' windows during the holi-
day week were the admiration of every
shopper. This had more to do than any-
thing else with the increased sales.

C. P. D.

DENVER.

Holiday Trade.

The Christmas trade eclipsed all
former records and takes rank as the
best ever. Prices were good and the
stock left over was very small, both in
cut flowers and plants. The demand for
cut flowers was never greater and every-
thing of suitable quality was sold at
prices never better. Larger numbers of
flowering plants were offered and in the
majority of stores were sold out clean.
Occasionally a retailer overbought, but
in general it was the most satisfactory
Christmas we have had in some years.

The most popular flowering plants
were azaleas, poinsettias and Lorraine
begonias. The first named were not
flowered as well as they might have been.
Poinsettias were much used, especially
those in low pans, while the single stalk
lagged, being used mostly for church
decorations. Lorraine begonias were a
favorite and were of fine quality. In
fact, all plants in bloom disappeared
from the shops very quickly. Their
charms were enhanced by hampers, rib-
bons, baskets, pot covers, etc. All kinds

of greens sold well, despite the fact of
the curbstone brokers. The weather was
fine for delivery, not too cold.

In cut flowers there was no great sur-
plus. Some houses say they were long
on white carnations, while one shop said
it was left with some Enchantress and
another with some violets to spare, but
taking it altogether, trade was excellent.
The greatest call was for red, carnations
first, followed by Beauties and Liberties.
Fancy red carnations were very scarce
and orders were in ahead for all that
came in. They brought from $2 to $2.50
per dozen, retail, while Lawson, En-
chantress and Prosperity made top
prices, the only kinds that were left
being white.

American Beauties sold well, although
they did not go to a prohibitive price,
$18 to $20 being asked at the best shops
at retail, and they were handled in large
numbers by some of the dealers. Brides
and Maids were fairly bought, as well
as Chatenay, but Liberty and Richmond
were cleaned out early, the retailers get-
ting from $2 to $5 per dozen, and a
rare select dozen brought more.

Violets, perhaps, were not quite as
much sought after, although they were
of good flower. Narcissi sold well at
50 cents per dozen. Christmas novelties
also sold very well, but a large number
of bells are yet to be seen in the differ-
ent flower stores. The paper bells han-
dled by all sorts of other stores cut into
the trade. Baskets of plants sold slowly.
Evergreens, holly wreaths and roping
were popular and none was left.

Business between Christmas and New
Year 's was good, being a season of many
balls and dinners, all of which called for
the decorator. The most prominent was

Mr. and Mrs. Sheedy was next in promi-

green and poinsettias, by Philip Scott.
And equally as fine was the dance given
by Miss Dines, at the Adams hotel,
where the decorations were looked after
by B. E. Gillis, of the Park Floral Co.

Various Notes.

Some of the finest Begonia Lorraine
seen in the city are grown by Frank
Rushmore, of the City park greenhouses.

Bernard Boldt has been cutting daffo-
dils for some two weeks, and for the time
of the year they are hard to beat.

Ernest Flohr had some fine migno-
nette, as well as fine violets, which were
just the thing for Christmas.

The Park Floral Co. delivered cut
flowers Christmas morning with auto-
mobiles, every box being sent out on
time.

N. A. Benson is cutting some very

good Enchantress, as well as some of the
finest Beauties. E. S. K.

NEV ORLEANS.

Christmas business is reported by many
florists in New Orleans as having been
quite good. Ferns and palms sold well,
flowering plants being almost limited to
azaleas and Begonia Gloire de Lorraine.
Carnations were not less than $1.25 per
dozen, and more for fancies. American
Beauties were scarce at any price.

C. W. Eichling disposed of many
Ciloire de Lorraine at a good price.

E. Valdejo and Abele Bros, report a
good demand for Gloire de Lorraine,
which seems to be the standby for
Christmas presents.

J. H. Menand says it was the best
Christmas in several years. He was also
busy with decorations. The one at the
Christ Church, one of the oldest congre-
gations in New Orleans, was a master-
piece of art. "Wild smilax covered the
entire end of the church, strung from
the dome to the floor. Each side was

raised like a curtain. In the center at
the top was a large cross formed by
thirty-two electric lights. Here and there
all over the curtain were scattered a
profusion of lights of different colors.
The effect was admired by every one.
The program of the convention of the
Louisiana State Horticultural Society
has been announced. The convention is
to be held in New Orleans on Janu-
ary 25 and 26. The object of the so-
ciety has been the culture of fruit trees,
vegetables and general arboriculture.
Floriculture has not been entirely dis-
regarded and among the papers which
are to be read will be one by C. W.
Eichling, on roses, E. Baker on native
shrubs and flowers, and C. E. Panter on
city nurseries. M. M. L.

Peoeia, III. — The florists of this city
have made an arrangement with regard
to closing hours. All have agreed to close
at 7 p. m. each day but Saturday, when
the hour will be 10 p. m. On Sunday
they will remain open until 1 p. m.

DT will soon be time to rebuild your Greenhouse
Benches and we desire to call your attention to our
Everlasting Tile Bench. It is all tile except the
sideboards, which are easily removed when emptying or
filling the bench and it is strong enough to wheel over.
Roses and Carnations grown on it the past season are
doing better than on the other benches. Think it over.

Death of Thomas Hewitt.

Thomas Hewitt, one of the oldest and
best known florists in Illinois, died of
heart failure December 23. He had been
ill for some weeks, but was thought to
have been recovering. His first attack
was while at the St. Louis convention
last year. Mr. Hewitt was born in Tux-
ford, Nottinghamshire, England, August
31, 1841. In February, 1867, he came
to Chicago, and eight years later the
family moved to Monmouth, which has
ever since been its home. The first five
years Mr. Hewitt engaged in gardening
and after this branched out as a florist.
His establishment has gradually grown
until at present it is the largest in its
section.

In politics Mr. Hewitt was a republi-
can. In 1887 he was elected school direc-
tor for the northern district of Mon-
mouth township. On November 6, 1864,
Mr. Hewitt married Alice Eimmer, at
SheflSeld, England. Three children were
born. Mrs. Hewitt died in 1870. Mr.
Hewitt was again married, to Miss Katie
Powell, at Chicago, in 1874 and she is
left with five children to mourn his
death.

CLEVELAND.

The Market.

The demand for all kinds of cut
flowers has been far beyond the supply
since the Christmas rush started and the
prospects seem to be about the same for
the month of January. The Cleveland

Cut Flower Co. had nice consignments
every day, but orders that were booked
ahead seemed to use up all that they
could get, and late comers were disap-
pointed. The Christmas prices were in
force with this firm for New Year's
day and they report a fine business; in
fact, about twenty per cent greater than
that of last year, and they claim it is
the result obtained by their advertising
in the trade papers, many orders com-
ing to them from florists in other cities,
who have orders to fill in northern Ohio.

All of the retail stores have been very
busy with decorations and funeral work,
and many of them would welcome a lull
in the demand, so they could get a
chance to rest up.

T. G. Yale of Wellington was in the
city last week on a business trip and
reports trade as being very good with
him this season. Last summer he built
two new houses, each 20x100, modern
construction, with iron gutters on seven-
foot posts, and he is well satisfied with
the results as shown so far.

New Year 's day is past and everything
was cleaned up except violets, which
seemed to have a depressed feeling,
many being left over, which was a sur-
prise to all.

WICHITA, KAS.

By way of trade notes I might say
that the Christmas trade, generally
speaking, was good and fairly satisfac-
tory. There was a good sale for cut
flowers, roses and carnations being most
in demand. Bulbous stock sold slower.
Prices were about same as last year.
Blooming plants sold fairly well, also

palms and ferns. Holly was in good
demand and all sold out. The volume of
business was a little more than last year.
Prices at wholesale are too high for
the quality furnished and the retail flo-
rist gets all the blame for robbing peo-
ple, yet we realize that the demand large-
ly sets the price. As for ourselves, we
do not push the cut flower sales but try
to provide for the demand as best we
can, and then avoid as many cases of
heart failure as possible among our
customers by making retail prices at a
close margin and making as many plant
sales as possible.

Now, the above remarks are not neces-
sarily for publication but are given as
a sort of unburdening, as it were, for
I think that the opinion is general among
florists that the high prices at Christmas
are more than the most of the stock is
worth and the price is usually paid with
a mental protest, or opinion that the
buyer is being robbed. "We are apt to
entirely lose sight of the fact that if
the demand were not there the prices
would at once be lower.

The New Year.

New Year's day brought beautiful
weather and good business. The Presi-

event. The decorations, following the
established custom, were furnished by

tastefully arranged, they were not elabo-

rate. Fine decorations were executed by
several of the retail florists in the homes
of cabinet officers and other prominent
public men.

The florists were busy all day, and in
several instances, well into the evening.
Many gift boxes were sent out, fine roses
and violets being in demand. American
Beauties brought from $10 to $15 per
dozen, violets $3 per hundred.

Good Resolutions.

Dear Brethren of the Craft, growers,
wholesalers, retailers and supply men, let
us make some good resolves. By grow-
ing a fine quality of stock the grower
smooths the path of the wholesaler; he,
therefore, must be eternally vigilant with
his packing and shipments. The retailer
can begin right and clean out those sad,
old plants left over from Christmas. May
the supply men resolve not to turn the
next flower show into an exhibition of
painted metal.

A happy New Year to all of you.

The Market

We have closed another year, and as
one looks it over it would seem that to ask
for another one like it would be asking
plenty. Of course everyone in the busi-
ness is hopeful that we will do better
this year, and we hope all will. By com-
mon consent we may say 1905 was the
biggest year the "posy" business has
ever seen in this city.

Christmas exceeded all expectation
and, owing to the many social events,
the retailers have seen no let up since.
Most of them are still working day and
night, and the help are in that condition
that they are hard to handle; so tired
that they do not care whether they hold
their positions or not; but a couple of
easy days will put them all in a good
humor again.

Roses have continued scarce since
Christmas, and the same can be said of
almost everything else. While all kinds

of stock have brought good prices, values
have not been beyond other years, and,
in fact, carnations and violets sold for
less money than at Christmas, 1904.

While New Year's is usually just a
little better than an ordinary day, this
year, although drawn out, it was just
a little better than the year before.
Several of the stores had orders for
big decorations. Randolph & McClem-
ents had eight large jobs for New Year's
evening, not counting dinner decorations.

Various Notes.

Mrs. E. A. Williams was almost ready
to quit Saturday when she had to send
the last man about the place out to finish
a decoration and the door had hardly
closed when the phone brought in another
order to be finished that night. How-
ever, the next person to come in was one
of her best customers who just stopped
to congratulate and thank her for the
beautiful ballroom decoration she had
done for him the night before. I left
her very tired but with a satisfied look.

I realized that florists were human and
could appreciate a kind word and some
evidence of appreciation from their cus-
tomers after they had exerted themselves
to please.

A. W. Smith seemed to be on the jump
and one going into his large store and
seeing the big force of clerks hustling
could scarcely believe Christmas was
over.

H. L. Blind & Bros, say the increase
in their business over the preceding year
was so great that it left the former year
out of consideration. This hustling firm
is making a bid for the big work which
formerly they did not consider.

L. I. Neff says all of his stores were
in with the rush and the holiday business
was all right.

Next Tuesday night is club night, and
the subject for discussion is "Small
Flowers, ' ' also nomination of officers for
the ensuing year.

Wl H. Smith, with DeVoe & Co., of
Oil City, Pa., is making his annual visit
to this city. We are never surprised
to meet him on New Year's day.

Mr. Graves, of Richmond, Ind., was in
the city one day last week.

A. N. Pierson, of Cromwell, Conn.,
stopped off long enough to call on the
trade here with whom he does business.

STEVIA.

Is stevia a good paying crop to grow,
as it is only in the house about four
months, with another crop to follow?
How many sprays are put in a bunch
when cutting for market? R. & S.

Is stevia a good paying crop? That
is not so easy, for we have never gone
into its profits as we do with roses or
carnations. We only know for the re-
tail florist it is wellnigh indispensable.
Our best customers admire it and want
it. It harmonizes and lightens up any
bunch or arrangement of flowers. When
bunched for market it is usually put up
twenty-five in a bunch but it is not neces-
sary to make it so; better make good
bunches, no matter how many it takes;
tlie commission man will get the value
out of them. W. S.

Beardstown, III. — Frank Bros, re-
port a good Christmas trade in both cut
flowers and plants.

Richmond, Ind. — J. M. Gift says he
never had a better holiday trade ; sold
out clean on everything and could have
used more carnations, holly and bells.

N. Pkovidence, R. I.^ — -Lucy Meenan
says that holiday trade was good. Cut
flowers sold well and there was a great
call for decorative plants for gift pur-
poses, especially for the Pierson ferns.

January 2.

A PRESS telegram from La Crosse,
Wis., says that Henry A. Salzer, who
believed he had not been a loser in Ore-

certificates in which he had invested are
worthless. Mr. Salzer paid $18,080 fo>
the certificates.

at $2.50 per lb., postpaid; Large Red
Wethersfield, $1,10 by express in five-

wax beans are $2.25 peck, $8 bu.

The seed catalogue for 1906, just is-
sued by Messrs. Sutton & Sons, Eeading,
England, is of special interest because it
marks the centenary of the establish-
ment of the firm. The business, founded
in 1806 by the late John Sutton, grand-
father and great-grandfather of the pres-
ent partners, not only still remains the
exclusive property of members of the
same family, but continues under their
direct personal superintendence. Such
continuity of management and direction
by one family is almost unique.

be identical. I have no doubt that some
of the smaller dealers sell one for the
other, but the difference between them is
certainly as great as many other two
varieties which are not considered to be
identical. The true Ailsa Craig was
first distributed a great many years ago
by a firm at Kelsoe, in Scotland, and the
next year it was taken up and pushed
very extensively by an onion specialist
at Banbury. Excelsior came out about
the same time, being distributed by
Cranstons, of Hereford. In form the
Ailsa Craig is not so globular as the
Excelsior, and whereas the latter is pure
yellow in color, the Ailsa Craig has a
slight reddish tinge under the first skin,
which frequently shows itself on the
outside of the bulb, and on the whole is
a darker-colored onion. I shall be very
pleased to send a packet of each of these
two varieties of the original stocks to
any seedsman who would like to make
comparisons. ' '

INOCULATION OF LEGUMES.

The method of distributing practic-
ally pure cultures of nitrogen-fixing bac-
teria dried on cotton has not proved en-
tirely satisfactory, owing to varying con-
ditions of air during transit in the mails
and to certain matters connected with
laboratory technique. WhUe the number
of unsuccessful attempts to secure inocu-
lation by users of cotton cultures sent
out by the Department of Agriculture is
small, it has been recognized that the
methods of preparing the organisms and
distributing them were open to improve-
ments. Investigations have been under
way for some time with a view to im-
proving the methods followed, and as a
result the department is now prepared
to send out to applicants bacteriologic-
ally pure cultures in small tubes her-
metically sealed.

The experiments carried on by the De-
partment of Agriculture have demon-
strated the fact that by the proper use
of practically pure cultures the nodule-
forming bacteria are actually carried
into the soil. These bacteria are able
to form root nodules, and where other
conditions are favorable the inoculation
thus brought about makes possible the
growth of a legume in soils where it
had failed previously from lack of bac-
teria. The original cultures used, how-
ever, must be prepared with the utmost
care and with a view to preserving or
increasing their natural power of nitro-
gen fixation rather than merely to make
them grow under favorable conditions.

CINCINNATI.

The Market.

Today is January 1 and I wish a happy
and prosperous New Year to all. If
our business holds out like it has been
for the past few weeks it will surely be
a prosperous year. Since Chriatmas stock
has been very scarce. No matter what
kind of flowers or green came into the
wholesale houses, it was snaiched up at
top prices. As a matter of fact, New
Year's prices ruled higher than Christ-
mas, which was due to the general scarc-
ity of stock. There was no pickled stock.
The growers were kept cleaned out as
fast as the flowers would open. A good
proportion of the blooms were cut before
they were ready, but this had to be
done to come anywhere near filling or-
ders. Violets were the only flowers which
came anywhere near equal to the de-
mand. Several thousands were delayed
in transit and arrived too late, so that
they were almost a total loss.

The report of the retailers for Christ-
mas is that the volume of business was
fully up to expectations. Everyone could
easily have handled more stock. The
business showed a healthy increase over
last year, fully in proportion to the
growth of our city.

Various Notes.

Saturday, January 13, is the next
regular meeting of the Florists' Society.
The last meeting was very enthusiastic
and a goodly number of the members
were present. Many items of importance
to the welfare of the society were dis-
cussed and it was determined to infuse
new energy into it and bring it to the
front along new lines. At the coming
meeting a large number of the members
expect to be present and a lively time
is anticipated.

The selection of a park superintendent
by our new city government is still
in the balance. B. P. Critchell, who has
made such a fine showing since he has
occupied the office, is still in charge and
each day's delay seems to add to his
chances of reappointment.

GRAND RAPIDS, MICH.

It was a wonderful Christmas, both
from the standpoint of the retailer and
wholesaler. Flowers were scarce, the
supply of colored carnations being to-
tally inadequate. Whites were sufficient
to go around. Boses were plentiful until
Christmas, when the cut gradually les-
sened until now the demand exceeds the
supply. There were many Paper "Whites,
Bomans and violets, but all sold well,
even to poinsettias, although the demand
for them would be greater if they did
not persist in wilting so.

As usual the A. J. Brown seed store
handled several car-loads of holly, some
of excellent quality. Several wholesale
produce dealers also handled it this year,
and all the grocery stores round town
each had a crate of holly on tap.

RED BANK. N. J.

At a meeting of the Elberon Horti-
cultural Society December 18, it was
decided to hold a flower show some time
during next summer. The matter was
left in the hands of a committee to per-
fect the arrangements. As the society
is weekly adding to its membership, it
is expected that the display will exceed
any previous effort made in this direc-
tion. At this meeting there was a large
attendance, four new members being ad-
mitted to membership and six proposi-
tions were received.

There were several noticeable exhibits,
including poinsettias from M. Bauer,
gardener for Daniel O'Day; mushrooms
from William D. Bobertson, gardener for
Mrs. Thomas T. Kinney, and tomatoes
grown under glass from W. H. Hall,
gardener for S. B. Guggenheim.

A. J. Guttman, of New York, was
present and exhibited Carnation Vic-
tory, which was much admired. It was
awarded a certificate of merit.

PACIFIC COAST.

CHRISTMAS ON THE COAST.

After a T\eek's review I am sure it
is safe to say that never within the last
ten years has there been such a Christ-
mas trade as was enjoyed by the florists
of San Francisco and, indeed, the entire
Pacific coast, this season. The weather
was of the ideal California variety —
plenty of sunshine and not a drop of
moisture or a semblance of fog to in-
terfere in any way with the good-na-
tured public. Early in the week the
trade, which usually begins about three
days ahead of Christmas, began, and by
the end of the week thei'e was a verit-
able stampede and the florists were liter-
ally overwhelmed with orders. In very
few stores were there anywhere near
enough clerks to handle the business of-
fered. !

The dealers handling green goods,
wreaths, berries and other decorative ma-
terial found that the chance to obtain
additional supplies late in the week was
very slim and on an average, nine out 1
of "ten retailers were sold out by Satur-
day morning. Flowers were not espe- j
cially scarce, except fancy roses, and |
these commanded any price the florist '
chose to ask. Violets were in ample sup-
ply, but the wily Italians, who entirely ;
control that branch of the business, made
up tlie quantity of bunches offered by ^
reducing the number of flowers per ,
bunch. Twenty-five flowers and fifteen
leaves was the usual size, and from $1.50
to $2 per dozen bunches the price the '
stores had to pay. Valley was plentiful
enough, but most of the stock offered
showed the result of too much forcing, j
A few late indoor mums were shown, but
the bulk of this flower was from the |
outdoor stock, and although the season
is getting late the blooms were fairly
up to the mark and proved a great boon
to the retailers, who in many cases had
to resort to them to fill orders for high-
er priced stock, when otherwise sold out.
A few Paper White narcissi and some
Ard Righ daffodils were seen.

From appearances early in the week,
there were to be few outdoor poinsettias.

but a few days before Christmas a good
many hundreds were expressed from Los
Angeles and San Diego and these helped
much to brighten the show windows. Pot
plants sold well, although not quite as
freely as did cut flowers. There was a
scarcity of primulas, Roman hyacinths
and valley in pots, but everybody was
well supplied with palms and ferns.

Christmas bells, in spite of the fact
that the department stores handled them
by thousands, were eagerly bought and
no one seemed to have laid in a large
enough supply. Red berries and huckle-
berry were brought in by the ton, but by
Saturday night all the retailers were
cleaned out.

I have yet to meet a retailer who is
not perfectly satisfied with the business
done, and that is saying a good deal.

G.

VICTORIA, B. C

Current Comment.

Christmas business has been, so far
as I can gather, a slight improvement
over former years. The amount of holly
shipped away was not quite so much as
usual, but the quality was very good.

Mrs. Farrington, of Fairview Green-
houses, has been showing some remark-
ably good carnations in her window
lately.

G. E. Wilkerson has bought land about
three miles out and has ordered glass
for a house 200 feet long.

Mrs. M. H. Flewin, of Flewin 's Gar-
dens, has leased the Invertavish Nursery
for jfour years.

On December 12 A. Ohlson read a pa-
per before the local horticultural society
on the outdoor cultivation of the rose
and gave practical illustrations of prun-
ing. The lecture was well attended and
Mr. Ohlson 's efforts were much appre-
ciated.

A. J. "Woodward has just finished four
new houses, each 26x300 feet. This
gives him a little over three acres under
glass. His establishment is now one of
the largest, if not the largest, on the
Pacific coast. Mr. Woodward has ideas
of his own, which are somewhat startling
to other florists. All his crops are grown
in the ground, just as if they were out-

side, and watered winter and summer
with sprinklers. Added to this, no white
help is employed, all work being accom-
plished by Chinese. Under these condi-
tionsj which to most of you will seem
totally at variance with the ordinary
regulations of a well-conducted establish-
ment, there can be no higher tribute paid
to Mr. Woodward than to say he succeeds
and that his product commands a good
figure in many markets. On some future
occasion I will send a report of his
place, with a short sketch of how it is
managed. E. A. W.

SEATTLE, WASH.

Holiday Trade.

* ' It was simply wonderful. ' ' This ex-
pression from the retailers, in speaking
of the Christmas trade, seems to sum up
the story. The weather was warm and
rainy, but this makes no difference to
a Seattle crowd, they are so used to it.
The flower stores were lined with cus-
tomers five and six deep and the busi-
ness was immense. The only complaint
I have heard was in one of the leading
stores, where the manager was lamenting
his inability to secure clerks who could
properly explain how to care for the
plants they sold.

The call was more for the inexpensive
plants, such as primulas, cyclamens, pep-
pers, etc. A few made-up baskets of
plants were attempted and sold readily,
but the lack of good material to make
them with was quite noticeable. For
some reason Lorraines do not sell at all.
In showing a plant to a customer a few
flowers will drop off; that seems to queer
them.

In cut stock, poinsettias brought $1
each. The Washington Floral Co. had
a lead on these, having about 600 ex-
ceptionally well grown plants. Carna-
tions were practically cleaned up on
Saturday and no roses were to be had.
Carnations sold at from $1.50 per dozen
up and roses from ^2.50 per dozen up.
Violets shipped in from California
brought 50 cents and 75 cents per bunch.
Holly brought $1 per pound. Mums
were plentiful and brought up to $6 per
dozen. Western King is the variety that
is held best for Christmas, but both

PORTLAND, ORE.

Holiday Business.

We beg leave to proclaim an unpre-
cedented Christmas trade. Early the pre-
ceding week buyers began to make their
selections and each day witnessed such
an increase that on Saturday, the ban-
ner day, it was almost impossible to
handle the rush of trade. Sunday and
Monday were essentially cut flower days
and when closing time came we all had
a shop-worn look and longed for the
comforts of home.

Never before were we so well sup-
plied with material of all kinds. Stock
grown locally was right up tc snuflf and
that shipped in from California was all
right, having stood the journey well.
Heretofore carelessness on the part of
the express company was responsible for
much of the stock arriving in such a con-
dition that it never regained conscious-
ness. There was enough to meet every
■demand, the leading varieties of carna-
tions retailing at $2 per dozen and the
best roses at $5 per dozen.

There was a greater variety of flower-
ing plants than usual and their quality
was never surpassed here. They were given
the customary Christmas dress and there
were none left unsold. Some original nov-
elties in baskets arranged with assorted
plants made a hit with the best buyers
and will undoubtedly be a special fea-
ture another year. The store decora-
tions were unique and showed the skill
of the artists. The red bells were more
popular and sold better than ever.
Poinsettias were used in great quantities
and the cut bracts are shipped in from
as far south as Los Angeles. There was
a regular landslide on green goods.
Holly was beautifully berried and proved
the most profitable in this line. It is
excelled nowhere as grown in Oregon.
Sixteen-inch wreaths sold as high as $2
each. The street venders had almost a
monopoly on mistletoe and the com-
moner greens.

Since the excitement we have busied
ourselves with cleaning house, counting
our money and using up the remaining
fragments of flowers in some good fu-
neral orders. H. J. M.

SAN FRANCISCO.

TheM^^t.

Christmas is over and things are com-
mencing to resume their normal appear-
ance again. The weather continues good
and stock was never so completely
cleaned up before. Carnations and roses
are somewhat in short supply. Most of
the dealers report little funeral work
during the holidays, but since then there
has been considerable of it. New Year 's
business was also good.

Miss K. O. Sessions, of San Diego,
shipped quite a quantity of poinsettias
to the local florists for Christmas.

A visit to the greenhouses of Clarke
Bros., at Fruitvale, shows great prepara-
tions being made for the rooting of
young carnation plants. This firm han-
dles cuttings in very large quantities.

The town of Alameda came in well
under the head of a prosperous Christ-
mas. H. Gresens, George Rosmarin and
J. Becanne, the principal florists, all re-
port record-breaking sales.

H. L. Haelkae, for many years head
gardener at the Masonic Home at Do-
cota, will lay out the grounds of the new
Claremont hotel at Berkeley.

James Skinner, of Portland, disposed
of two ear-loads of Christmas trees to
the local dealers.

H. Hayashi, of Alameda, has pur-
chased a fifteen-acre piece of land at
Elmhurst and will erect a range of glass
this spring.

The continued dry weather interferes
greatly with the digging and planting
of nursery stock. Some of the old time
nurserymen predict a dry season.

The Holland Nursery Co., of Elm-
hurst, was in line with an extra big cut
of valley for tlie holidays. Podesta &
Baldocchi, .John 11. Sievers and Frank
Pelicano handle the bulk of their stock.

The Society Hortensia, of Oakland,
granted a special diploma to Henry
Pramm?, of Fruitvale, for a fine ex-
hibit of roses at the last meeting.

T. A. Grady, of Fruitvale, had a good
crop of Fiancee and Enchantress for the
holidays. Thos. H. Stevenson handles

NURSERY NEWS.

AMERICAN ASSOCUnON OF NURSERYMEN.

Pres., B. AlbertBon, Bridgeport, Ind.; Vlce-
Pres., Orlando Harrison, Berlin, Md. ; Sec'y, Qeo.
0. Sealer, Rochester; Treas., C. L. Yates, Roches-
ter. The 3l8t annual convention will be held at
Dallas, Texas, June, 1906.

Thb nursery trade never saw collec-
tions coming in better than they are
this fall.

Wholesale nurserymen are making a
feature of their literature, in many
cases, that stock is grown on new land,
"and therefore clean."

The apple crop of 1905 in the United
Stats is commercially estimated at about
23,500,000 barrels. In 1904 similar esti-
mates put the crop at 45,400,000 barrels.

Chas. Black thinks that the compara-
tive freedom of rot of Elberta peach is
due more to the rather dry character of
the fruit than to any other character-
istic.

The Cassel Nursery Co., of Cleveland,
O., $10,000 capital stock, has been incor-
porated by M. Cassel, C. L. Tompkins,
Lida L. Tompkins, Lucinda A. Cassel* and
John Eeddy.

Prof. A. Van Holderbeke, formerly
horticulturist for the State of Wkshing-
ton and now employed by the Spokane
Canal Co., Spokane, as instructor in hor-
ticulture and gardening for the benefit
of Otis Orchard farmers, has purchased
ten acres of Otis Orchard land for the
purpose of starting a nursery, from
which it is the intention to supply the
Otis Orchard fruitgrowers.

Articles of incorporation of the
Clearfield Orchard company of Salt
Lake, Utah, were filed December 23.
The company expects to conduct a nurs-
ery, with a capital stock of $25,000, in
shares of a par value of $25 each. L.
W. Snow is president; George M. Can-
non, vice-president; C. L. "Whitney, sec-
retary and treasurer; they, with G. W.
Palmer and W. R. Calderwood constitute
the board of directors.

The American Forestry Association,
James Wilson, president, is seeking to
increase its membership. Its purposes
are a business-like and conservative use
and treatment of the forest resources of
this country; the advancement of legis-
lation tending to this end; the diffusion
of knowledge regarding the conserva-
tion, management, and renewal of for-
ests. Annual dues are $2, for sustaining
members, $25; life membership, $100;
patron, $1,000.

DEATH OF VILLIAM H. MANN.

To the veterans of the nursery busi-
ness the name of Capt. Wm. H. Mann is
familiar, but to the younger generation
he was comparatively unknown, for it
is some years since he retired from the
nursery business at Normal, 111., to en-
gage in orange growing in Florida. He
died at Oilman, 111., December 24, aged
80 years.

Captain Mann was a pioneer in the
nursery business in central Illinois, es-
tablishing a nursery at Normal, in part-
nership with Cyrus Overman, immediately
after his return from the Mexican war,
doing a large business for those early

days. He obtained his title in the Civil
war. He lived at Oilman, 111., for years,
later in Florida, where he was the
founder of the town of Mannville. He
was one of the organizers of the Illinois
State Horticultural Society. Six sons
survive, one being congressman from
Chicago.

HARTFORD, CONN.

On Friday evening, December 23, the
Florists' Club tendered Theodore Wirth
a farewell banquet at Hotel Hueblein.
As previously reported, Mr. Wirth goes
to Minneapolis, where he has been ap-
pointed superintendent of parks. Presi-
dent Huss and practically all. the club
members were present, and among out-
of-town guests were Wm. J. Stewart,
Boston; Jackson Dawson, Jamaica Plain,
and G. X. Amrhyn, New Haven. A. C.
Sternberg, an honorary member of the
club, acted as chairman, and in exceed-
ingly felicitous terms introduced the va-
rious speakers. Among the latter were
Superintendent Parke||, of Keney park;
Wm. J. Stewart, Jackson Dawson, E. N.
Clark, G. X. Amrhyn, Eobert Scrivener
and C. N. Euedlinger. Unanimous re-
gret was expressed at Mr. Wirth 's de-
parture from Hartford and it was the
feeling of all that, in his leaving the
east the horticultural interests of New
England suffered a distinct loss.

At the conclusion of the banquet,
which was sumptuous and elaborate in
every detail. President Huss presented
the guest of the evening with a splendid
compass, incased in gold, the joint gift
of the Florists' Club and South End
Bowling Club, of which latter Mr. Wirth
was president. It is almost superfluous
to add that everyone present wished Mr.
Wirth all prosperity and happiness in
his new sphere.

NORTH ADAMS, MASS.

Christmas trade was fine, carnations
selling for from 75 cents to $1.50 per
dozen, roses $2 to $3 per dozen, violets
$3 per hundred, with a good call for
flowering plants. Cyclamens, Begonia
Gloire de Lorraine, primulas and azaleas
were the best sellers. The temperature
was such that plants needed but little
covering.

Pratt, the Ashland street florist, has
received a sketch and estimate for a
new house. He will install a new boiler
and heat his plant with one boiler in-
stead of two, as he now does. He re-
ports business as increasing and hopes
with his new house to be better able to
supply the demand.

The many friends of A. J. Schniutz
are pleased to learn that Mrs. Schmutz
is rapidly recovering from the severe
operation she underwent at the hospital
and a complete recovery is hoped for.

PARKERSBURG, W. VA.

Mrs. Louise Obermeyer, the wife of
Gustav E. Obermeyer, the florist, died
Christmas morning at the family home
in North Parkersburg. She had been ill
for several weeks, but was not thought
to be in an alarming condition until
Saturday. Her death resulted from
stomach trouble, which followed a pro-
longed attack of rheumatism. The de-
ceased is survived by her husband and
two daughters, Violet, aged 12, and
Marie, aged 4 years. Her death was
under particularly distressing circum-
stances, as about a year ago two little
sons died. The bereaved family has
the sympathy of a wide circle of friends.

We don't want to miss a single issue.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

JANUABV 4, 1906.

BALTIMORE.

The Market.

The past Christmas has been the most
successful the growers and retailers ever
had. The crops of roses were light;
much more so than was expected, and
very few specials could be had, with a
fihortage of all grades. Very few
American Beauties are grown in Mary-
land and nothing much can be said for
the ones that did show up. In carna-
tions the supply was equal to the de-
mand, with the exception of red and
Lawson, for which the demand was
heavy. A few growers held some of
their, carnations too long and they nat-
urally remained unsold, but could have
been used at Christmas prices had they
been shipped when in good condition.
Otherwise there was very little com-
plaint about salted stock.

The call for single and double violets
was heavy, with enough for all orders
and a few .carried over until Sunday
morning, when they were quickly bought
up. Harrisii and narcissi were over-
done and about the only things that were
carried over. Soman hyacinths, sweet
peas and stevia sold Tvell, with no ad-
vance in price. The market on aspara-
gus and smilax was good, with usual
prices.

The retailers all seem well pleased
with the business done and the general
remark is that everything sold out clean
and could have handled more. Bed im-
mortelles sold better this year and most
stores were cleaned out Saturday. Well
berried holly and mistletoe were plenti-
ful and could be had at reasonable
prices. Maryland holly could.be bought
as low as $2 to $4 for single-horse
wagon loads and well berried.

Trade continued good all last week
and prices were about the same as at
Christmas. Saturday, December 30, was
the first day that the wholesalers could
catch up with orders for carnations and
roses. All the past week, flowers were
very scarce and never known to be so
short in supply after a holiday, many
retailers refusing orders for funeral de-

strain is accepted as second to none, either here or In Europe. We annually plant many thousand

thus improving the strain every season, and this year's collection is the brightest and most pleasing
one we have yet sent out. We offer fifteen distinct varieties.

BALTIMORE.

The Market.

'I'lie J last Cliristnias has bo'jii tlie most
sucfcssfiil tlic growers ajid retailers ever
had. 'J'lie crojts ol" roses were light;
iiUR'h more so than was exported, and
very trw specials could lie had, Avilli a
shortage of all grades. Very few
American Beauties are grown in"^ Mary-
laud and nothing much can be said for
the ones that did show up. In carna-
tions the suj»ply was equal to the de-
mand, with the exception of red and
Lawson. for Avhich the demand was
heavy. A few growers hell some of
their carnations too long and they nat-
urally remained unsold, hut could have
been used at Christmas ])rices had they
been sliipj)ed when in good condition.
Otlicruise tliore was very little com-
plaint about salted stock.

'Die call tor single and doui)!<' violets
wa.s JM-avy. witii enough for all orders
and a few carried over until Suiulav
moiiiing. when they were quickly bought
up. llarrisii ami narcissi wore over-
done and about the oidy things that were
carried over. Homan hyacinths, sweet
peas ;ind stevia sold well, with no ad-
vance ill price. The market on aspara-
gus and sinilax was good, with usual
price?.

The retailers all seem well pleased
with the business done and the general
remark is that everything sold out clean
and could have handled nu)i('. Eed lui-
morti'lles sold better this year and most
stores were cleaned out Saturday. Well
berried holly and mistletoe were plenti-
ful and could be had at reasonable
pri.fs. Maryland holly couM be bought
as low as .t:2 to $4 for single-horse
wagon loads and well berried.

Trado c(uitinued good all last week
and jirices were about the same as at
<1iristnias. Saturrlay, December 30, was
the first day that the wholesalers could
catch up with orders for carnations and
nisc<. All the j>:ist we.'k, llowers uciv
very scaice and never known to be so
short ill supply after ;i holiday, many
retailers itfusing orders for funeral de-
signs, lint the bright, sunny weather of
the Week caused tin' desirell ( hange for

Christmas Trade Report*

This Christmas was very satisfactory
to every one, both grower and retailer.
The week started very dark and gloomy,
after two weeks of bright weather, and
the outlook for a good cut seemed dubi-
ous. On Saturday it cleared and the
two bright days brought out thousands
of blooms that would not have opened
had it remained cloudy. And so, while
the cut was perhaps not so heavy as it
might have been, yet there was a larger
cut than was expected the middle of the
week. Prices in most lines ruled a trifle
higher than last year. The biggest seller
"Vvas the carnation, and fancy stock sold
first, regardless of prices. Home-grown
violets were not in as large supply as
usual and many were imported. Poin-
settias were used extensively in decora-
tions and sold well in pans. Other pot
plants sold heavily, too, especially Lor-
raines. By Monday noon almost every
store in town was closed on account of
being sold out.

There was a noticeable absence of old
stock and buyers came nearer getting
their money's worth than at any other
Christmas. Business has kept up fine
and everybody is doing a good, steady
business. Good stock is in good demand
and quality was never better. A. B.

Here is a money order for $2; please
send me two copies of the Review after
this. — C. T. GuENTHEE, Hamburg, N. Y.

This is my first letter in the year
1906 and I will be pleased to send you
another dollar in the first letter I write
in 1907. The Eeview is all right and
should be read by e\;ery florist in Amer-
ica.— Chas. Brown, Canton, O.

MY MARYLAND

▲n^NOUNCEMENT

We, THB H. WEBER & SONS CO. of Oaklaxid, Md.,

respectfully announce that The E. G. Hill Co. of Richmond, Ind., have
withdrawn from the contract made with us last spring, whereby they
would have jointly with us disseminated our new white carnation,
My Maryland.

The variety has been on trial at Richmond (3000 plants), Brooklyn
(300 plants), Philadelphia (1000 plants) and Toronto (1000 plants).
Reports from the first two named places characterize the variety as
being practically worthless, while from Toronto and Philadelphia favor-
able reports indicate that the variety is bearing out our claims for it.

Our own stock at Oakland is in elegant shape. An extremely wet

summer necessitated the holding of stock in a semi-dormant condition
after being housed, August 15 to September 1, thus making stock
too late for the fall shows. Since December 1st we have been cutting
grand blooms, and to prove our claims for the variety, we invite all
interested to come to Oakland and look it over.

While it is a source of regret to us that the variety has not proved
satisfactory in all places tried, we are satisfied that it will prove our
claims for it in at least some places besides our own.

We therefore announce that we will disseminate My Maryland as
per our advertisements, but before shipping any stock we give to each
and every one the right to cancel all or any portion of their orders.

As a red and

we believe, will succeed everywhere. It is even better than last year,
white variegated it has no competitors. Stock ready no-w.

KANSAS QTY.

A Splendid Year.

The year 1905 has been a memorable
one in many ways. The flower trade
has kept pace with all other lines of
business in this city and has shown a
wonderful increase over any former
year. The past year has seen the estab-
lishment of a new wholesale house, one
of the largest and most complete west
of Chicago, and eight new retail estab-
lishments. Yet, despite this increase in
the number of concerns, the older estab-
lishments report nearly double the vol-
ume of business transacted in 1904.
Probably no other city in the country
can show such a remarkable gain in the
flower trade. Better prices were real-
ized than ever before and buyers gen-
erally made no objection to paying good
prices for high grade stuff. The year
1905 is one that will be long remem-
bered in Kansas City by the trade.

There has been no let up in business
since Christmas. The demand for good
stock has exceeded the supply. New
Year's day was another big day, the
amount of business done being remark-
able. Below we give the comments of
some of the leading dealers on the Christ-
mas business:

Arthur Newell. — Our business was the
best we ever had; sales 60 per cent
greater than last year, and they aver-
aged 30 per cent for the entire week.
People wanted good stuff and were will-
ing to pay the price.

Samuel Murray. — The best business
we ever did; away ahead of anything
we expected. Our plant trade was fine.
We disposed of almost our entire stock.

Ed. A. Humfeld. — We did a splendid
business, fully double that of last year.

Wm. L. Rock. — Our business shows 25
per cent increase over last year.

A. F. Barbe. — The best business we
ever had, and the best prices.

Harnden Seed Co.— We did a good
business, much better than we expected
to.

Miss M. Dalley. — My business was
much better than ever before, 50 per
cent increase over last year.

Kay-See.

Unadilla, N. Y.— N. H. Padgett was
burned out last February, sustaining a
total loss, with no insurance. As he had
not the means to continue in business the
people of the town and surrounding coun-
try raised a subscription sufficient to en-
able him to build a small greenhouse
and workroom. A number of florists have
contributed surplus plants to enable
him to restock and all such contributions
were very welcome.

The Weekly Florists' Review^

January 4, 1906.

LOUISVILLE, KY.

Christmas trade "was a record-breaker.
The weather was all that could be de-
sired and reports from the retail stores
average an increase of about twenty-five
per cent over last year. Prices ruled
about the same as last year, except that
some very choice stock brought top-notch
prices. Azaleas, ferns, poinsettias in
pans and cut sold well. The cut flower
line was well supplied. Carnations
brought good figures, also violets and
narcissi. Holly and wild smilax and
other evergreens sold better than in
former years.

Mrs. C. B. Thompson made a very
handsome display at her store for Christ-
mas. The interior of the store was
decorated in wild smilax and red Christ-
mas bells, with large Boston ferns and
poinsettias.

F. C. Haupt's store was splendidly
decorated. The steel ceiling and the
holly, wild smilax, Christmas bells, ferns
and cut flowers and over 100 electric
lights made the store a sight to look at.
Fred is the boss decorator,

Nanz & Neuner made a very handsome
display in their show window. Some
of thQ finest Begonia Gloire de Lorraine
Were seen here.

Jacob Schulz came in for his share of
the Christmas trade. Blooming plants
of every description were to be had here.
The new store was beautifully decorated
and everybody was getting out orders.

F. "Walker & Co. report a big Christ-
mas trade.

Mrs. C. W. Keimers made a fine dis-
play in her window of large cut poinset-
tias, the handsomest ever seen here.

August E. Baumer, the king of the
bowlers, as we call him, was smiling all
over about the Christmas trade.

H. LiCHTEFELU.

Manheim, III. — Eobert Hardis, form-
erly employed by J. C. Ahrens, at Des

Greenhouse Boiler. ^^ ^s-:^ '^^^ -^^^^^

Boilers made of the best material; ahell, fire-box
sheets and heads of steel; water space all around,
front, sides and back. Write for information.

N. Zweifeij, No. Milwaukee, Wis., writes:— "I have 4 houses, each 28x200 feet, with a total
of 27,000 sq. ft. of glass. I can get all the pipes warm in thirty minutes with one of your No.
13 Boilers, and it is easy firing."

Grant Newport, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, writes:— "I bought a No. 2 Boiler in 1902. Takes
care of 7,000 sq. ft. of glass; would take care of 2,000 more. I have liad a oast-lrou boiler,
but it broke down twice in four years, always in the coldest weather. It broke down
Dec. 26, 1904, and I lost all my stock in consequence. I have now two No. 2 Kroeschell
Boilers and do not worry about their breaking down." '

The Weekly Rorists^ Review*

Januabt 4, 1906.

Have You Forgotten

about thai man who we 'Struggled with" to overcome an unwarranted
prejudice about our houses; thought them a ''trifle high"— or something
to that effect? Do you recall how we took him through our factory, starting with the
making of the putty and showing him the particularity, the endless care, thoroughness, and first
quality of all the materials that go into our houses? From that little item of putty to those
immense piles of millions of feet of Cypress, he said scarcely a word — but he Ofdered a
house* We are getting it out for him now ; it will be all ready for erection this Spring with
the first note of the robin.

"We don't actually know why that man bought our house (he never said) but we infer
that the csifeful attention given to the little things and the ever-preseqt evidences of quality and
superiority of the big things, had a good deal to do with it ; but it is just as likely it was on
account of our many patented features absolutely guaranteeing him a light house, a durable
house.

PRESIDENT'S APPOINTMENTS.

Ed. Florists' Eeview: — I take pleas-
ure in announcing to you that on
January 1, I shall appoint on the execu-
tive committee of the S. A. F. & O. H,
the following gentlemen: Philip J.
jiauswirth, of Chicago, and Prank H.
Traendly, of New York, for the full
term, and H. H. Ritter, of Dayton, O.,
to fill the unexpired term of H. M. Al-
tick.

I would like to have you hold off until

want all to have it the second week in

you will comply with my wishes.

Wm. F. Kasting, President-Elect.

Dec. 30, 1905.

PRESIDENT KASTING.

William F. Kasting is one of the
youngest men who have ever held the
presidency of the Society of American
Florists, to which he was elected in
Washington last Augus*t, the term of
office beginning January 1, 1906. He is
a leader of the younger element in the
society, that portion of the membership
which has been accused of finding its
principal interest in the sports, but Pres-
ident Kasting declares that it shall be
proven in the present year that the
young men are as deeply interested in
the welfare of the society as are the
older heads, and that he will show how
the young men can hustle. "Old men
for counsel; young men for work." The
personal popularity which, won for Mr.
Kasting the election at Washington will
place him free of all necessity for com-
plaint as to the half-heartedness of his
support.

Mr. Kasting was born in Germany, at
Sachsenhausen, July 27, 1870. The fam-
ily removed to this country in his youth
and lived for a time at St. Louis. For
practically all his life he has been en-
gaged in the florists* business. For
twenty years he has been in the trade,
for eight years in the greenhouse end as
a grower, and for twelve years in the
wholesale business. It was in 1894 that
Mr. Kasting went to work for Daniel B.
Long, then in the wholesale cut flower
and supply business at Buffalo. It was
a modest establishment on Washington
street, and in two years the young man,
for he was then only 26 years old, had
acquired enough experience and had sav-
ings enough to buy out the place. The
new proprietor being possessed of the
faculty of getting there, the business
began to grow. Soon larger quarters
were needed, and only a year or so ago
another move was made, to a building
fnee used as a theater, the entire place
l»eing occupied, and his interests have
multiplied.

But only a small part of Mr. Kast-
jng's energy has been employed in gain-
ing his business success. Prior to his
flection to the presidency of the S. A. F.
lie was successively financial secretary.

treasurer and president of the Buffalo
Florists' Club; vice-president of the
American Carnation Society, and vice-
president of the S. A. F. At both the
conventions held in Buffalo he was chair-
man of the ways and means committee,
whose duty it was to raise the money
and manage the entertainment. Speak-
ing of raising money, were it not still so
fresh in mind, his exploit in raising some
thousands of dollars for the German
hospital at Buffalo would merit special
mention; a bazaar was given and Mr.
Kasting, as chairman of the ways and
means committee, sold tickets over a
wider range of territory than was proba-
bly ever done for a similar affair.

In the political life of Buffalo, as well
as in its business and charitable affairs,
Mr. Kasting has taken a leading part.

candidate for the mayoralty, but they
say in Buffalo that such is not Mr. Kast-
ing's ambition. He says he is wholly
without such a thing, politically, but that
nuist be taken in the same sense,
politically, for if you get the confidence
of certain politicians in Buffalo they
will tell you that they are going to send
Billy to congress some day. Mr. Kast-
ing does not believe in embarrassing his
friends by refusal when they try to
thrust desirable things upon him, and if
he wants to go to congress he will prob-
ably go out and pick the plum when it is
ripe. Among the other evidences of his
ability to get what he wants, he has a
charming wife, and they have a young
hopeful who promises to have all his
father's energy and good nature.

PHILIP J. HAUSWIRTH.

It is not at all unlikely that in ap-
pointing P. J. Hauswirth on the S. A. F.
board of directors. President Kasting has
selected the man of all others in busi-
ness who has the widest personal ac-
quaintance throughout the trade. Mr.
Hauswirth is president of the Chicago
Florists' Club and bears a most active
part in all local horticultural affairs.
He has for more years than most of the

William F. Kasting.

He has served the city as park commis-
sioner, and two years ago he ran for
county treasurer on the democratic
ticket. He was defeated, but he ran 4,000
votes ahead of his ticket. Now, the
man who at any election runs ahead of a
defeated ticket is his party's logical

members remember been a regular at-
tendant at S. A. F. conventions, and
usually in charge of the bowling. He
has also traveled widely with several fra-
ternal societies and never fails to call
on the florists wherever he may go, so
that his store in the Auditorium Annex

is pretty sure to be looked in upon by
every trade visitor to' Chicago.

Mr. Hauswirth is 44 years of age,
born in Germany, December 18, 1861.
While a boy he came to Chicago with
an aunt who, in 1871, married Charles
Reisig, who was one of the pioneers in
the trade. In the school vacation of
1873, the boy worked in the Reisig green-
houses on West Sixteenth street and may
fairly be said to have been identified
with the trade since that time. In the
autumn of the next year he went into
the store as errand boy. He continued
with Mr. Keisig almost continuously for
eighteen years. They had stores at 88
and 66 Washington street, at 175 Wa-
bash, on State street, and again on
Washington street, where the Marshall
Field annex now stands, at various times
during that period. Joe Curran, who
is a few years older than Mr. Hauswirth,
was also a protege of Mr. Reisig, and in
the store during that time. At the time
the Auditorium was completed it was

active in the Red Men as he has been in
the trade organizations. He is at pres-
ent chairman of finance in the Great
Council of the United States. He is also
a large-antlered Elk and participates in
most of their frolics.

In 1882 Mr. Hauswirth married Marie
C. Collnot. They have two children and
two grandchildren. Mrs. Hauswirth
spends part of her time in the store and
is her husband's constant companion on
convention and other trips, so that she is
widely known in the trade. She is warm-
hearted, endowed with unusually good
judgment, and is friend and counsellor
for many outside the family circle.

FRANK H. TRAENDLY.

Prior to the Washington convention,
the members of the craft in New York
City advanced Frank H. Traendly as a
candidate for the presidency and warmly
urged his claims, to the keen delight of
the many who were mutual friends of

Philip J. Haaswirth.

far south of the center of trade, but Mr.
Reisig moved there, occupying a part of
the drug store on the Wabash avenue
side. This was not at first profitable,
and in July, 1892, Mr. Reisig, being well
along in years, turned the. business over
to Mr. Hauswirth, dying within the year.
Mr. Hauswirth later moved into a store
on the Michigan avenue side of the Au-
ditorium Annex, and has one of the best
stands in town and a rapidly growing
trade.

For years Mr. Hauswirth has been as

these two good friends, Kasting and
Traendly. It was certain that one would
make way for the other, and when Mr.
Traendly refused to permit his name to
bo presented, Mr. Kasting at once as-
sured him that if elected he would find
work for him to do. It was with this
in mind that he placed him on the exec-
utive committee, known as the board of
directors under the new by-laws.

Mr. Traendly was born in Brooklyn in
1867. He took naturally to the florists'
business, his father having conducted a

flower business at Fulton street and Fort
Greene place for many years. At the
age of 16 he was in the service of Fred
Donahue, on Fourteenth street, and later
was. one of the lieutenants with Thos.
Young, Jr., at 11 West Twenty-seventh
street. In June, 1893, he formed a part-
nership with Chas. Schenck, in the whole-
sale commission, business at 38 West
Twenty-eighth street, where they still
hold the fort and are adding yearly to
the large volume of their business.

Mr. Traendly was for the past two
years president of the New York Flo-
rists' Club, of which he has been a mem-
ber for more than a dozen years. He is
big, jovial and popular, a tremendous
worker at whatever engages his interest,
and his administrations of club affairs
were the most successful in the history
of the organization. He is withal a
conservative, wise counsellor and will add
strength to the society's management.

H. H. RITTER.

H. H. Eitter, who takes the place
among the directors made vacant by
the selection of H. M. Altick as vice-
president, is a very modest man. When
appealed to for his portrait he pleaded
that he had not had his photograph
taken since he was a young man, but
he consented to sit and the accompany-
ing illustration therefore shows him as
he is, for it was taken less than a week
ago. As to the story of his career,
Mr. Ritter says that there is none,
save a brief narrative of the up-build-
ing of a very comfortable business at
Dayton. But those who know Mr. Rit-
ter are sure that the whole state of
Ohio contains no more genial citizen,
the S. A. F. few men more deeply in-
terested in its welfare and none whose
counsels will bo more practical or thor-
oughly considered. Mr. Ritter is vice-
president of the Florists' Hail Asso-
ciation.

COLD STORAGE VALLEY.

We are having trouble with cold stor-
age valley. In a lot of 2,000 about one-
fourth have thrown up good flowering
shoots with eight to twelve bells, but
without a particle of foliage. Others
are coming with foliage and flower and
are ready to cut, but about one-half have
made no growth at all, while the balance
are just beginning to show green. These
pips were flatted up and kept in a house
at 60 to 65 degrees for a few days,
then put in the forcing case with 80 to 90
degrees of heat under the flats, or about
75 degrees of heat in the sand in the
flats. These have been treated just as
we have before when ninety per cent of
the pips made salable valley and were
all cut within three or four days. Some
flats show one-third or more with flower-
ing shoots, other flats not over one-tenth.
We plant one and one-half inches apart
each way in flats five inches deep. We
have had success with the following
treatment: Four or five days in the
warm house without bottom heat, ten

We were told in answer to a mild and
business-like complaint to go ahead and
grow the roots, "they were all right."
To this we were real impudent. To think
that we had lived nigh on to 60 years
and did not know a rotten, useless lily
of the valley pip hurt our feelings. I
am told that too low a temperature will
gradually sap the vitality of ' the root
and embryo flower. They may endure it
for several months, but after a time they
will collapse. In conclusion, I am afraid
your pips were in poor order, and if
they were not, you should not have given
them anything like such a forcing heat.

THE USEFUL BOXWOOD.

The boxwood has proven not only one
of the very best of the greens useful to
(he cut flower worker, but it has made a
hit in many plant arrangements, its dark
green foliage contrasting or blending
well with many receptacles and associated
plants. Another very good use for box-
wood is for winter window boxes. A
great many of these are now called for in
the larger cities and they afford a good
profit to the florist who has facilities for
liandling this class of trade. A florist
can supply window boxes of pine painted
green and make a good profit at 50 cents
per foot. When filling these with box-
wood a first-class store can readily get
75 cents per plant, using stock fifteen
to eighteen inches high. Such plants
wholesale in this country at $25 per hun-
dred, coming from Belgium.

W. KoxBuiiY, Mass. — E. E. Lowe is
preparing to discontinue his business.

you did last year and were successful,
then it would be bold for me to say you
did wrong, but I will say that there was
no need of your putting these cold stor-
age pips into any such heat as 80 to 90
degrees. That is the treatment for the
newly imported roots, which you are
forcing into growth and flower three or
four months before their normal season
of flowering. It is entirely a different
story with the cold storage stock. You
have arrested their natural growth and
at any time after the first of last May,
directly they were relieved from the
arresting cold, they were ready and
anxious to grow, so 60 to 65 degrees was
warm enough for their roots or pips.
You mention flats as being used. That
would be of little consequence, but I
would rather hear of six inches of sand
on an ordinary bench without bottom
heat and only protected from draughts
or bright sun.

It is possible that these pips had re-
ceived an injury during their last few
weeks in storage. If the pips were not
firm, solid and sound it was little use
planting them.

Three years ago we received from a
New York firm a few hundred valley
roots weekly during the summer and fall,
every time in prime condition, and there
was no failure in bringing them into
flower, until the first of December, when
our extra quantity for the holidays ar-
rived. They were soft, flabby and use-
less. A New York florist returning from
Brighton Beach, where he had placed his
little wad on the wrong pony, was not
half so wilted. We thought the trouble
was that they had been exposed to a
few degrees above freezing and made a
start and then been again frozen bard.

SOFT GROWTH.

AVe are sending a sample of soil which
we are using for our roses. Up to the
first of October we had fine rose plants,
but the flowers then were somewhat soft.
Our houses were kept 55 degrees at night
and 65 degrees in the day. As soon as
short days came we got a short, weak
growth and no bottom growth. They are
in raised benches and have four and one-
half inches of soil. They have had good
treatment and had no feeding up to the
time they commenced to get weak. Please
tell us what is wrong; we think it is the
soil. The soil was three-fourths sod and
loam and one-fourth manure, put up in
the spring and used in June. W. F. C.

You are very fortunate in having a
supply of this quality of soil, as it is as
near the ideal rose soil as one could wish.
Being naturally rich in itself, it does not
require more than one part of manure to
five of soil when composting.

The sample mixed with manure seems
to have too much of the latter in its com-
position, which, of course, accounts for
the softness of growth during the short
days. And Avhere there is softness in
growth and foliage we may always look
for weakness to follow.

To strengthen the growth and give
tone to the foliage, give them a slight
top dressing of bone meal, and ruffle it
lightly in. After three weeks give them
a dusting of air-slaked lime or wood
ashes, just enough to color the surface.
Pay particular attention to ventilation,
both day and night, never missing an
opportunity to admit fresh air, even at
the expense of a few tons of coal. This
question of ventilation is a very im-
portant one and ignorance of the laws re-
garding it, or carelessness in administra-
tion, are accountable for many of the
poor results after a few weeks of steady
firing. EiBES.

IN A POOR HOUSE.

I have two benches of roses, on brick
and tile. I planted the stock at the end
of May; Beauties, Ivory, Brides, Maids
and a few Richmond, in soil prepared in
the orthodox manner, with cow manure
and bone meal, but rather light. I have
to buy all soil and cannot get good,
greasy yellow loam. The stock did splen-
didly all summer; no trace of mildew or
insects. Began cutting October 1. The
soil being light, I gave a good mulch of
lialf-rotten cow manure early in Novem-
ber. The roots are now pushing up into

this, showing good root action. The foli-
age is very good color, but growth seems
much weaker than it ought to be, and
I am not getting many roses. I have
given a sprinkle of lime, watered in, sev-
eral times, and nitrate of soda in weak
liquid occasionally. I have kept the
house at the orthodox temperature. The
house is of good height and almost per-
pendicular on south side. It runs east
and west. One end joins a high wall and
the other a two-story barn, one keeping
off the sun till 10 a. m., and the other
after 1 p. m. Now, am I doing my best,
or should the stock be giving better re-
sults, or am I expecting too much
from a house situated as this is, in such
a dark corner, and only ten minutes'
walk from the center of a city of a. quar-
ter of a million inhabitants? G. C.

Owing to the amount of shade this
house is subjected to, it is altogether
unsuited for rose culture during winter.
The best horticultural engineers have
been working for years trying to give
us a house with a maximum of light and
a minimum of shade, and here we have
conditions reversed. The almost perpen-
dicular pitch of the south roof is another
factor which will militate against suc-
cess. The brick and tile bench in such
a house is also very unsuitable for rose
crops. The general treatment of the
stock and care of the house is in accord-
ance with accepted cultural methods, and
had the house been suitable there is not
the least doubt but that results would
have been satisfactory.

Under present conditions, I would ad-
vise great care in watering for the next
two months, and even greater care in
feeding; in fact, refrain from all liq-
uid feeding until March, when, with a
longer continuance of sunshine and the
natural spring growth, they will be in
condition to assimilate a stronger diet.

ElBES.

AVERAGE PRODUCTION.

I would like for you to tell me how
many salable flowers the average carna-
tion plant will produce per season, under
ordinary culture, and also how many
blooms will a rose plant produce per year
for the average grower. W. E. H.

The average cut of carnations depends
on the variety under consideration, the
suitability of the house employed, the
quality of soil, season of planting, and
last, but not least, the ability of the man
in charge. Had this querist named the
varieties he proposes to grow, it would
have simplified matters. Such varieties
as the Lawsons average higher than most
other varieties. Some of the larger grow-
ers claim an average for these varieties
of thirty-five to forty blooms per plant,
and where this average is maintained
they will bring handsome returns. En-
chantress and Prosperity will average
lower in produce, but the higher prices
obtained for the blooms compensate for
this.

Eoses which are planted early, having
a longer growing season in which to form
a large plant before September, will, by
reason of their greater strength, more
extended root area and greater number
of flower-bearing eyes under the same
treatment produce a much better average
than those which are planted later. If
planted early in June, or late in May,
tea roses, such as Maids and Brides,
should produce from twenty-five to
twenty-seven salable blooms; Golden
Gate and Ivory, twenty-three to twenty-
five; Beauties, twelve to eighteen, these
to be on their own roots. By skillful
treatment, good soil, good houses and ev-
erything favorable, this average can be
exceeded. Eibes.

Bouvardia.

This will be a busy time with your
propagating bench, not only with roses
and carnations, but many soft-wooded
plants, because conditions are now most
favorable; viz., heat in the sand and a
cool top temperature. If you grow or
intend to grow bouvardia, now is the
most favorable time to start. This
pretty, honeysuckle-like flower will never
be of great importance, but we are fre-
quently asked for it; it is a pleasing
novelty, and our wealthy patrons do
crave things that everybody else has
not.

Bouvardias are always propagated
from small pieces of the root. Plants
that have flowered and lifted from the

bench will supply better material than
those grown in pots. Don 't choose the
stout, old, woody roots as thick as a
straw, nor the thread-like roots, but
something between that looks young and
active and full of sap. Cut these into
pieces half an inch long and after mak-
ing the surface of your propagating bed
even and smooth, strew on the tiny
pieces of root and then sift over enough
dry sand to just hide the roots.

If the sand of your bed is about 70
degrees it will do very well. In three
or four weeks you will see the little
plants starting up through the sand.
When an inch above the surface lift out
with the piece of root attached, which
will have made hair-like roots, and pot
into 2-inch pots in a light loam to which

has been added some sand and leaf-mold
and keep in a temperature of 60 de-
grees at night. They will soon take hold
nnd continue to grow and that is all that
need be said for another two months.

Lilies for Easter.

It may seem a little previous to begin
(HI Easter plants so soon, yet what makes
florists thinkers is that they have to think
months ahead of events and see the
fruits of their efforts in full maturity
\\hile their plants are yet in a very
embryonic state.

Your Japan lilies intended for Easter
sliouid now be in a light house at a night
temperature of 55 degrees. It is too
(■arly to say anything about how ad-
vanced they should be. If five or six
inches above the soil you are all right,
l.ongiflorum multiflorum seems to make
an earlier, freer growth at starting than
longiflorum giganteum, but this may not
l)e so with other growers. Fifty-five de-
grees is not forcing, it is only growing.
Some recent experience has still more
<onvinced me that you may without harm
<lo more real forcing the last four weeks
|)reviou3 to flowering, than you can in
three months in midwinter. It seems
that up to the time of their showing
buds clearly these lilies come along grad-
ually and progress in a temperature of
55 to 60 degrees; when buds show well
they want an increase of 10 degrees.
This is usually not difficult to afford at
Kaster time, but when it cannot be given
in November and December your early
Bermudas will just stand still or turn
into a leafy growth and put oft' their
flowering period.

Perhaps in the native clime of Lilium
longiflorum there is, at about the time
of their nmking buds, a marked rise in
temperature. If so, they expect it, and
must have it under artificial cultivation.
This may be only a theory, but we ob-
served tliat one lot where the tempera-
ture was raised the middle of November
flowered finely and are cut and gone,
while another lot in similar condition
at that date and left in the same night
temperature of 60 degrees are now in
all stages of development and the ma-
jority not yet showing buds.

So don't get alarmed if the lilies are
above the soil. Don't force them for the
next month. Save your coal until the
])lant8 will respond. We force tulips
and lily of the valley. Roses and carna-
tions we do not forc-e; we merely trans-
pose the season.

Lilies for Memorial Day.

Don't forget to provide a nice lot of
•Japan lilies for Memorial day. Nothing
sells better on that occasion and you can
^et about the same price as you can at
Kaster. You can procure the bulbs now
iiiid pot and put in a very cool house.
Without the slightest forcing they will
<ome in for the end of ^lay. If you do
not wish to buy more, then select a few
of the very latest that you intended for
I'^aster and remove to a cool house. Last
year we tried to impress this on some
younger years and ears, but it was not
done, and two or three weeks after Easter
there were hundreds of fine lilies going
to waste. There was no demand for
them, except that they were sold to a
butcher who had just opened a shop,
which enabled him to present a lily spike
with every pound of liverwurst, so they
were not entirely wasted.

Verbenas.

About the end of the month sow ver-
benas and procure the seed from the
most reliable source. They are slow
in their early stages. By sowing early
you will get a cutting off each plant.
There are still verbena specialists and
a choice variety can, of course, be only
perpetuated by cuttings, but fine varieties
and perfectly healthy plants are easily
raised from seed. Sow in shallow flats
of light soil, only just covering the
seeds and Ix; sure at that critical time
when the seed is germinating not to let
the surface of the soil becohid baked.
Then is when the little plants of most
of the small seeds perish.

The Euphorbia.

That beautiful plant. Euphorbia jac-
quinia'flora, has been mentioned occa-
sionally this winter. Twenty years ago
we thought this almost as important a
plant as the now much talked of Euphor-
bia Poinsettiana, which it does not in
the least resemble and needs very dif-
ferent treatment. It propagates like the
poinsettia, from either the old, ripened
wood or the young, succulent growth. We
grew it entirely for its curved, graceful
sprays studded at the axil of every leaf
with its vermilion-scarlet little blossoms,
but we readily believe that a number of
plants in 8-incli or 10-inch pans would
be very attractive. They can, if you
have i)]enty of stock, be propagated a
month or two later, but the wood that
has flowered can now be cut up to three
or four eyes and will root readily and
the young lateral growths from these
cuttings can later be propagated. I will
endeavor to say more of this pretty
plant later, regarding spring and sum-
mer care. Like its cousin, the poinsettia,
when once rooted and established in pots
it wants the lightest aspect and is a
tropical plant and wants heat at all
times.

Euphorbia Splendens.

Please don't be attracted by the name

of another euphorbia which bears the
misleading appellation of splendens. If
you had walked into an old-fashioned
greenhouse, where the boss was fond of
plants, in the year 1799, probably the
first plant you would notice would be Eu-
phorbia splendens. It is a veritable vege-
table porcupine and not so amusing and
of no earthly use commercially. I know
there are several old ladies of both sexes
who like to try their hands at everything
and are fascinated and misled by names
and catalog descriptions, and the above
is for their benefit. I am going to
spell catalog the sensible way, and if the
compositor introduces three or four use-
less and superfluous vowels I shan 't
spell it any more for anybody, so there I

Fuchsias.

I have neglected for many weeks past
to mention a seasonable hint about
fuchsias. The writer was once credited
with being an expert on these old fa-
miliar domestic plants, but fuchsias
change and old favorites are dropped to
pick up with new acquaintances. We
treat the fuchsia too much as an ever-
green. With our greenhouse correct
treatment it should be deciduous. Plants
that grew to a good size during the
summer should have been resting beneath
a bench very much on the dry side since
October. They could have been started
growing again in a few weeks and you
could have Lad plants in 3-inch pots by
this time, but it is not late yet, an<l
if you have any plants still at rest get
thenv up, shake off the old soil, repot
and shorten back the unripe tips of the
growths, and they will break and give
you strong, succulent cuttings, which
will make stronger plants than those
started earlier. Some wholesale firms
send out little fuchsias that have been
propagated from the green tips of lateral
flowering branches. They are useless,
and will be stunted and runts during the
remainder of their existence. It is only
the cuttings from the ripened wood that
are of any use. William Scott.

CARNATION NOTES-WEST.

Buying New Varieties.

If there is one thing that gives the
grower more hard thinking than another,
it is the question of selecting the new va-
rieties he Avants to invest his money in
and how heavy he ought to invest in each.
The up-to-date grower wants every va-
riety that is an improvement over the
varieties he is growing, as he cannot af-
ford to let a chance go by to better his
stock. The first question is which va-
rieties shall he buy, and to solve that
problem requires not only thought but
alertness and shrewdness. If every variety
would behave for us as it does for its
originator there would be little trouble
in choosing. Differences in soil, climate
and method of culture have 'St^'much ef-
fect on varieties that it is hard to say

what a variety will do when taken away
from home, perhaps only to the other
side of the town.

There are few varieties introduced
that have not been good on the origina-
tor's place, and so, when a variety fails
to make good on your place do not judge
him harshly, but rather try and find ont
where you made your mistake. Natur-
ally you want to find out as much about
a variety as you can before you buy, and
while there are many ways of getting a
line on a variety, yet there is no better
way than to go and see the variety grow-
ing. If you are unable to do this vcju
will have to depend on the reports you
can gather from the shows from time to
time. This, again, is not altogether
satisfactory, because the very point yon
want most to get at cannot be brought
out at any exhibition of cut blooms.
True, you can see how the blooms co;n-
pare with others in quality, in keeping,

488

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

etc., but you cannot tell whether that
bunch of flowers was cut from 100 plants
or 5,000 and you don't know how many
blooms were discarded when these were
selected.

By watching the exhibition reports you
will be able to see whether a variety
comes in late or early, but you cannot
tell whether or not it is a free bloomer;
whether it will pay the grower a fair
rental for the bench space it takes up.
As is well known to those who have at-
tended exhibitions and bought the prize
winners, it is not always the varieties
that make the finest show that prove
to be the most profitable. In fact, the
show reports are very misleading, in
that way. Many a first-class bread-and-
butter variety is entirely outclassed by
the more showy ones and of course it
suffers at the hands of the reporter,
when really out of the whole bunch it
might be the' most profitable to grow.
These varieties are usually taken up and
pushed the second and third year, after
they have forced recognition by sheer
persistence, while those fine looking
prize winners are reluctantly discarded
after a year or two.

Fortunately the varieties with the
enormous sales do not always prove un-
profitable; frequently one proves worthy
of the confidence the growers have placed
in it, like, for instance, Enchantress.
Surely no grower who bought Enchan-
tress ever regretted it. >>^

How many to buy of each/variety is
a question each one must answer for
himself. It will depend on many condi-
tions. If you are a retail grower you
may not grow more than a house or two
of carnations and you may want only
enough to see what they are like and
how they behave with you. If you run
across a desirable one you can buy a few
hundred the second year. If you are a
wholesale grower you should have enough
to make a good lot for the next season
of any one that proves worthy. Those
who make a specialty of rooted cuttings

of course want a big lot of any good
thing and it pays them to investigate
thoroughly before buying and then
plunge into whatever looks best. Even
these men are tripped up occasionally,
after looking a variety over carefully
on its home place. We do not buy less
than 100 of any variety, because it seems
one can size up a variety better when
there are that many or more. Often
some are lost one way or another.

Does it pay to buy the new varieties?
From our own experience I would say,
most emphatically, yes. Perhaps we
have been more careful in buying than
the average, but anyway we have tried
to follow the suggestion made above.
Every season we buy many varieties, some
we know but little of, before we see
them here and we always get enough good
ones every season to more than pay up
for what the poor ones lost us. Then,
too, we know how all of them behaved
for us in our soil and climate and we
are not in danger in the future of in-
vesting in a variety that failed with us.
This knowledge alone we consider pays
for what we invested. We find that in
these days of high grade blooms the
grower has to keep his stock up to the
top notch, and he can do this only by
substituting the improved varieties for
the older ones, as well as adopting every
improved method of culture. Suppose
we were still growing Lizzie McGowan,
Silver Spray, Grace Wilder, Portia, etc.,
who would buy our stock?

There are those who think that after
a variety has been out a year or two and
has done well everywhere it is time
enough for them to buy. This is a mis-
taken idea and really loses money. If
your neighbor starts with 100 plants and
the variety does well with him he can
make 1,000 for the next season. You
visit his place and see the variety
and if you want to have as many
as he has they will cost you $50
or $60 and you don't know how it
is going to do for you. He knows its

habits and you don't, so he stands a
much better chance of growing "it well
the next season. If he bought five varie-
ties and only got one good one he is still
ahead of you in money and in ai few
years ' time he will have the reputation of
being progressive and up-to-date and you
will be one of the trailers. You will
find that those who have bought the new
varieties consistently in the past are
the ones who are now the most liberal buy-
ers, and those who are disgruntled are
the ones who plunged spasmodically and
missed it almost regularly.

NO BLOOMS.

Our carnations are Boston Market,
Lawson and Flamingo. They were
planted in the house the middle of Au-
gust. They look healthy and strong.
The temperature of the house at night
is from 50 to 55 degrees; during the
day to 60 degrees. When the sun is
shining it is sometimes 65 degrees. The
ventilators are open part of each day,
but the plants do not bloom as freely
as they should. We hope you can help
us overcome the diflSculty. J. T.

I shall be very thankful if you can
tell be what I can do for my carnations,
as they do not bloom. The plants are
growing and look healthy and good, but
they do not throw any buds. I have sev-
eral kinds, one no better than the other.
I have been using bone meal and air-
slaked lime, and the temperature has
been run up to 52 degrees. They were
planted in August. J. W.

Boston Market and Lawson are, as a
rule, very free bloomers and at this time
of the year ought to be in full crop.
Flamingo is a late bloomer and many
growers last season did not get a bloom
until toward spring. It is hard to say
just what may have caused your plants
to behave as you say, since they are

growing strong and healthy. Your tem-
peratures are right. All you can do is
to promote a sturdy growth and in time
they will come with a crop of buds and
bloom. I would run a little on the dry
side for a week or ten days. That will
encourage them to make buds, but you
cannot induce them to go right to bloom-
ing. If you are willing to sacrifice half
of a later crop in order to get a crop
sooner, then cut back about half of the
shoots that are on the plants. That will
cause the rest to grow more rapidly and
you will get a crop sooner, though it will
be only half as large. Sometimes run-
ning a knife through the soil between
the rows across the bench will help, as
it causes a slight check by cutting the
long roots. It is at such times that the
grower is tempted to adopt radical meas-
ures to get results, but it will pay you
to go carefully. As the days get longer
and the sun gets stronger, they will come
along faster and the crop will come.

McKINLEY DAY.

It is time to begin to advertise McKin-
ley day to the public. The date is Janu-
ary 29 and its near approach should be
'ailed to the attention of every local
newspaper man. Put a neat card in your
window announcing the date. There
promise to be large supplies of carna-
tions this year and a good business can
be done. Eaising prices for this occa-
sion will be against the best interests of
'ho trade, so long as the observance of
the day is not a thoroughly established
'ustom.

January 24 and 25. The exhibits must
be staged by 1 p. m. on the opening day.
The principal competition will be for the
Lawson gold medal, but there are a num-
ber of very attractive special premiums.
The judges are W. N. Rudd, Mt. Green-
wood, 111.; Wm. Micholson, i''Taming-
ham, Mass.; Eugene Dailledouze, Flat-
bush, N. Y.

Aside from the routine business of the
society the new by-laws will be up for
adoption and there will be papers as
follows: "Carnations from a Retailer's
Point of View," by Thomas F. Galvin,
Boston ; * * Carnation Breeding, ' ' by
Prof. H. F. Hall, Durham College,
N. H. ; ' * Carnations in the Rocky Moun-
tains, " by J. A. Valentine, Denver. A
paper will also be read by a wholesale
man, giving his point of view.

The Copley Square hotel will be head-
quarters during the week, and every in-
dication points to one of the most suc-
cessful meetings the society has ever
held.

AMERICAN CARNATION SOCIETY.

The complete schedule for the fifteenth
annual exhibition of the American Car-
nation Society has been mailed to mem-
bers. The meeting and exhibition will
be held in Horticultural hall, Boston,

A MICHIGAN PLANT.

The n^w plant of G. Van Bochove &
Bro., Kalamazoo, Mich., is located on
South Portage street, within the city
limits, on a thirty-acre tract of land that
is admirably suited for the business. The
greenhouses are connected with a 6-inch
pipe to the city water main and by the
system installed a steady pressure of
sixty pounds is maintained.

Roses and carnations are the only
crops grown on the new place, bulbs,
mums and other miscellaneous stock be-
ing grown at their old plant on Third
street. With the addition of this new
plant this firm now has about 100,000
feet of glass.

The new houses are 300 feet long and
twenty-seven feet wide, with gutters
seven feet high, and sloping from the
center to each end. There are four
benches five feet wide to each house. The

photographs reproduced give a very good
view of the manner of construction.

The heating plant is contained in a
brick boiler room, which is large enough
for additional boilers. There is now in-
stalled two 125-horse power horizontal
tubular boilers, connected to an 8-inch
main steam feed pipe with a 6-inch regu-
lating valve, giving perfect control of the
steam pressure in the houses. The heat-
ing plant and houses are planned so
that in future additions nothing need be
changed.

Stock is doing very well in these houses
and the owners are well satisfied with
them. The Richmond rose is well thought
of, and plantings of this variety will be
increased and Meteor correspondingly di-
minished. Other roses will be planted in
about the usual amounts.

In carnations the following varieties
will be dropped: F. Burki, Glacier, Her
Majesty, Indianapolis, Fair Maid, Pros-
perity, Bradt, Armazindy, Harry Fenn,
Joost, and possibly Fiancee, The promis-
ing new varieties will be given a trial.
Plantings of Lady Bountiful, Queen,
White Lawson and Enchantress will be
increased,

MR. HARTSHORNE'S VIEW.

Considerable free advertising has been
given to Carnation Aristocrat by the
daily press all over the country. AVe flo-
rists at one time used to figure such
stories of $30,000 and $40,000 for a new
carnation as absurd and hurtful, and
were ashamed of them when questioned
by the public regarding their reliability.
But of late years we have come to re-
alize that those same stories have adver-
tised and helped our business to a con-
siderable extent, and have huift no one in
the least. Let me state, however, that
neither the originator, Mr. Witterstaetter,
nor the Chicago Carnation Co, is seeking
notoriety by these methods. The price
my company has paid for Aristocrat has

not been divulged, roi' do wo iiitond it
shall be, as that i)Mrt of it concerns no
one but tlie parties to the <'ontract. It is
hardly necessary for me to tell the flo-
rists that no such sum was paid for it;
at the same time, we both liope and be-
lieve that Aristocrat will he worth all
and more than $4U,()()0 to the trade.

I personally have watched Aristocrat
for the past three or four years and have
seen it fj;rovving under various conditions
and at different times of the year. I
was so impressed with it last season, long
before the January carnation meeting,
that 1 tried to purchase it, but Mr. Wit-
terstaettcr turned a deaf ear to all my
proposals, saying he intended to con-
vince himself by a further and thorough
trial; that Aristocrat should not leave
his place, either by selling the variety
outright or by dissemination,, until he
was sure it was all he thought it to l)e.
As the variety is now five years old, he
has been able to grow it in quantity.
Our highest hopes, as to its value, in
every respect have been realized; hence,
the sale (the greatest that ever was). In
color it is a trifle lighter tiiaii the Law-
son and very much brighter, anil is ex-
pected to displace that grand old variety
in the hearts and greenhouses of every-
one.

When I first saw the Lawson, and even
after my company failed to get posses-
sion of it, I predicted that it would be
grown after all carnations of that day
were out of business. It was hard for
me to make many florists believe that,
but my judgment, as you know, was not
misplaced. I now claim that Aristocrat
ia just as far superior to present day va-
rieties as Lawson was in its <hiy, and

will live longer than any variety I know
of, but to be thoroughly appreciated it
should be seen growing at Witterstaet-
ter's at Cincinrati, who will make an at-
tempt to show it in good shape at Boston
this niontii, not>vithstanding the fact that
his traiu leaves at noon on the Monday
and the (lowers will not be judged until
Weilnosday afternoon. It <-an also be
seen at Mr. Nicholson's, Framingham,
Mass., in a small quantity.

EBLE DESIGNS.

The accompanying illustrations are
from photographs of two of the prize
winning designs at the fall exhibition of
the New Orleans Horticultural Society.
They were made by Chas. Eble, who also
won first i)rizc on basket of chrysanthe-
mums, on hand bouquet of chrysanthe-
mums and on group of palms.

The first of these illustrations shows
a parasol of chrysanthemums which was
one of the unique features of the exhi-
bition. The other illustration is of a
basket of American Beauty and Rich-
mond roses witii lily of the valley and

JOHN SCOTT'S ADDRESS.

At his inauguration as president of
the New York ^"'lorists' Club, January 8,
Mr. Scott spoke as follows:

Permit me again to thank you for the
high honor you have done me in electing
me as your president for the year 1906.
it is an honor at all times to be appre-
ciated, but doubly so when it comes en-
tirely unsolicited. As I intimated to you
on election night, my best endeavor will

always be put forth for the club's wel-
fare, and I ask the full support of the
other officers of the club and the com-
mittees that I will appoint, to the end
that the present may prove the b'anner
year in the history of our organization.
As you all know, the club is in a flour-
ishing condition, standing second to none
in the country. My earnest desire is to
maintain the present high standard and.
if possible, to advance it. I would ask
the hearty co-operation of every member.
It is only by all taking an interest in our
vyork and the securing of as many mem-
bers as possible that we can hope for
any progress.

I should like also to repeat what sev-
eral of my worthy predecessors have al-
ready urged, namely, that when a sub-
ject is up for discussion, every member
having an opinion to express thereon
should do so. It should always be re-
membered that it is more beneficiit|, to
the members themselves, as well as adil
ing so to the interest of our meetings, to
discuss the club's affairs in the proper
place and at the proper time.

The legislative committee, one of tlu'
most important in the club, has not had
much to do, I believe, during the past
couple of years, but I know that they
will continue to look out for the interests
of the club and its members as in the
past.

One of the causes largely contributing
to the success of our meetings has been
the exhibits which have been brought to
the club-room. This is a feature that 1
should like to see continued and more
fully developed, and in order to do so I
.shall appoint a committee, to be known
as the exhibition committet. whose duty
it shall be to procure exhibits and en-
deavor to have a good showing every
meeting night. It is too much to expect
the committee of awards to get the
flowers and plants to the meeting and
judge them also.

Another thing of importance, and
which T think is a big drawing card to
the meetings, ia a reading of essays and
illustrated lectures. For this purpose I
will appoint a committee, to be known
as the essay committee, whose duty it
will be to secure essayists, and to pro-
vide at least one illustrated lecture dur-
injj the year.

Too much credit cannot l)e given to
the committee of awards. Their work
has |)rovcd of great value to the club
and to the exhibitors. In this regard I
will mention my own case. The award
made by our committee to my fern was
one that I prized most highly and I am
really unable to say at the present
moment just how much benefit I received
from it ; but it was the comments I heard
on this report which made me realize,
more than ever, the great importance of
the endorsement of the New York Fhi-
rists' Club, an importance not only local,
but national, and even international. The
rules adopted March 13, 1905, covering
exhibits in the club-room, are very ex-
plicit and a copy of the same should be
in the hands of every member. Certifi-
cates of merit, cultural certificates ancl
cards pf honorable mention are awarded
to exhibits made before the club< ami
from a grower's standpoint, I believe,
securing one of these honors should be
an incentive toward having even more
exhibits of flowers, plants and novelties
than we have had.

Speaking of flower shows, the experi-
ence of the club in the past does not
hold out much encouragement to go ahead

^vith another show. However, we have a
(•(iiisiderable number of new members
f-ince our last exhibition, and perhaps
Idine new suggestions or ideas may be
],, ought forward whereby a show can be
)i,.|(l without expense to the club. I
,vouId not like to see the club's funds
used for this purpose. I do know
iliat every effort was made at the club's
j(>cent shows to make them a success in
every way, but was futile. I realize the
;j('nera] need of having our products
placed before the public by. some such
ineaus as exhibitions, and would be in
favor of holding ,i small show in a small
haJI, or other building, where the expense
would be light and the exhibition self-
supporting. 1 do not Irtiow wlicther it
could be carried out or not on the pro-
()0sed lines. This is merely a suggestion.
This matter I will leave in the hands of
the members, who, I feel sure, will not
suggest anything definite thereon without
full and careful deliberation.

We are all aware of the very great
ilisadvantage under which New York la-
bors in not having a horticultural hall
similar to those possessed by such cities
;is Boston and Philadelphia. Would it
i:ot be well worth the while of this club
to discuss this matter fully, looking to
ilie ways and means to secure a building
of this kind.

The house and entertainment commit-
tee has rendered us noble service in the
past, and has done much for the develop-
ment of the social side of the club's
meetings. Such a valuable adjufict
tending to our pleasure and enjoyment
should be continued and encouraged, as
I think members coming to the meetings
appreciate the social part of the evening.
I know that the ladies enjoy themselves
hero and I hope that we will have many
more ladies' nights in the future.

The annual outing of the club held
during the past three or four years has
spoken for itself. It is the one day in
the year when the members can lay aside
their duties and cares and have a little
recreation. There are many members
who do not realize how much interest is
taken in this event by the young folks,
and is it any wonder that the elder peo-
I)Ie are happy when they see the younger
element enjoying themselves? The out-
ing to be held this year I hope to see a
big success and trust it will have the full
support of all the members.

In closing, I wish to say that my time,
as far as possible, during the year will
he at the service of the committees and
officers, for mutual counsel and sugges-
tions, to further any plan that will bene-
fit the New York Florists' Club. I would
say just one more word, and that is, that
♦he members should take advantage of
the question box and use it more freely
than has hitherto been the case. 1 shall
take pleasure in referring all questions
submitted- to members whom I may con-
sider qualified to answer the same, and
feel sure that their senices in this re-
spect will be cheerfully given.

RADISHES.

Although these are among tlip earliest
of winter crops and give quick returns,
it is seldom that the markets are over-
stocked with them, and well-grown rad-
ishes can usually find a ready market at
a remunerative price. Though a first-class
house is not essential for their cultiva-
tion, the brighter the house the better it
will be for the crop. Soil is the great
essential in the cultivation of radishes,
that of a light, sandy nature being the
most suitable. In this they make a free,
clean growth, whereas in a heavy, stiff
soil the growth will ho correspondingly
stiff and the radishes are apt to come
more or less deformed.

Little fertilizing of the soil is needed,
as their chief requirement is Avater, but
in the case of very poor soil a little
well-rotted barnyard manure » will be
helpful; this, however, should not l)e
mixed with the surface soil, but should
be buried at least two inches under the
surface, so that the root and not the
bulb will come in contact with it.

A very important matter is the pro-
curing of gootl, fresh seed. Such seed
will come up quickly and strong. My at-
tention was calle<l the other day to a
crop of radishes which had come up

very slowly and many of the first leaves
were crumpled and deformed. At first
sight [ thought they were attacked by
apliis at a verj' early f^tage, but on close
examination I found them clear of this
[)est. The soil and temperature condi-
tions were all right, but on examining a
sample of the Feed used, it was plainly
to ix' seen that here was where the
trouble lay. The grower was inclined to
l)lame the seedsman, but said he had had
the seed about a year in his possession
and iluring that time it had not been
kej)t under the best of conditions. The
only thing to do under the circumstances
was to throw the seed away and procure
a fresh stock, for it was only a waste of
tinu' and spa<'e to attempt to grow a
)trofitable crop from this old seed.

When good, fresh seed is })rocured it
siioidtl be sown thinly, so that the rad-
ishes can all mature without thinning be-
fore the first are ready for market. The
only insect enemy that troubles radishes
is greenfiy. which will often develop
when the atmosphere is kept too dry.
Kor its eradication I have found nothing
Ix'tter tluin a lifjht application of hydro-
cyanic aci<l gas. One-half ounce of (-y-
••mide to 1,000 cubic feet of space in the
house is sutficient to destroy this soft in-
s(vt. If the grower is unaccustomed to
the use of the gas, smoking with tobacco
nuiy bo resorted to, but it will take about
three smokings to destro^v the fly. and
even then it will nrit make as clean a
job as the gas would. Still I would not
adviho the use of gas until the operator
has made a careful study of its strength
and is fully alive to the dangers that
may arise from the careless use of it,

PUBUCATIONS RECEIVED. ^Z

[Window Gardening in the School-room, by
Herman B. Dorner, B. S., published by Purdue
University, La Fayette, Ind.]

In the foreword which accompanies
this neatly printed, well illustrated and
carefully indexed little pamphlet, W. E.
Stone, president of Purdue University,
says it is "intended to be an aid to
teachers in the selection and care of
plants in their school-rooms. The author,
who is a practical florist, has sought to
avoid reference to all but the simplest
materials and methods and has ad-
dressed himself to those having little
knowledge or experience in such matters.
Little need be said as to the cultural and
aesthetic value of plants and flowers in
the school-room. Scarcely anyone would
maintain that a reasonable amount of
time and attention to such matters by
teachers and pupils would be misspent."

The pamphlet is directly in line with
the ideas presented at the last S. A. F.
convention, at which time a committee
was appointed to prepare a plan for a
text-book to be placed in the schools of
the country. The convention outlined a
more pretentious publication than the
pamphlet from Purdue, but Mr. Dorner 's
work makes an excellent beginning. It
goes as thoroughly as need be into the
subject of selection of window plants,
about watering, propagation, fertilizers,
etc., with chapters on some of the com-
moner kinds of window plants. The op-
erations are illustrated by half-tones. It
need scarcely be said that the directions
are sane and practical. It is to be hoped
that means have been provided for plac-
ing the pamphlet in the hands of every
school-teacher in Indiana and much good
would undoubtedly come of it if the dis-
tribution could be still more general.

OBITUARY.

Death of Joseph Kift.

The death of Joseph Kift, which oc-
curred at his home in West Chester,
Pa., on Thursday morning, January 4,
removes from among us one of our
pioneer florists, a man widely known
and respected. Joseph Kift was born
in Boroughbridge, Somersetshire, Eng-
land, July 23, 1827. When fourteen
years of age he went to Edinburgh,
Scotland, where he learned to be a
florist and gardener. After working
there for seven years Mr. Kift started
for this country in the fall of 1848.
He spent the winter in New York,
coming to Philadelphia in the spring
of 1849, where he worked as a florist
for two years. In 1851 he went to
West Chester, where he established a
florists' business which he has carried
on continuously until the present time.
In 1876 Mr. Kift established a store in
the fashionable quarter of Philadel-
phia, 1735 Chestnut street, with his eld-
est son, Robert, under the firm name of
Joseph Kift & Son. For many years the
surplus cut flowers of the West Chester
greenhouses were retailed in Philadel-
phia, but gradually with the develop-
ment of the retail business in West
Chester, the two places were run sepa-
rately, Mr. Kift withdrawing from the
Philadelphia firm a few years ago.
Somo stock still continues to come in
daily.

Mr. Kift is said to be the first in-
troducer of the famous Bermuda Easter
lily. His second son, Joseph, kept
purchasing the stock which he sent
out. Mr. Kift grew a general collec-

JosephKift.

tion of plants and flowers. He took a
deep interest in his place, rebuilding
three houses last summer in the most
approved modern style. Mr. Kift was
in his seventy-ninth year. He leaves
a widow and four children, two sons
and two daughters. Phil.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market

The unfortunate falling oft" in carna-
tions is the feature of the cut flower
market. Business is better than usual
early in the year, but the demand is all
for fancy roses, violets, etc. The mild,
clear weather last week increased the
supply of carnations. While the demand
fell off prices declined rapidly, fancy va-
rieties suffering rather more than com-
mon sorts.

Freesia is a welcome addition, S. S.
Pennock having some very nice sprays.
Orchids, chiefly cattleyas, have been sell-
ing well. Single daffs are more plenti-
ful. Eomans and Paper Whites are very
poor stock to handle.

Various Notes.

Charles F. Edgar, of the United States
Out Flower Co., Elmira, N. Y., was a
visitor at Berger Bros, on Monday.

P. Joseph Schembs, of Seventeenth and
Wallace streets, has opened a branch
store in a basement on Fifteenth street,
above Chestnut.

Herman Krienburg has resigned his
position with J. S. Krell.

Frank Ress, of East Girard avenue,

has made an assignment for the benefit
of his creditors.

J. Franklin Meehan gave a very inter-
esting illustrated lecture on pruning trees
before the Germantown Horticultural
Society on Monday evening.

G. C. Watson is distributing the choice
dahlia roots of the Atco farms for S. S.
Pennock.

John Mclntyre has taken a position
with J. J. Habermehl 's Sons in the Belle-
vue-Stratford.

A farmers' institute meeting will be
held in the lecture room at Horticultural
hall, Broad street, above Spruce street,
on Tuesday, January 16, both afternoon
and evening. There will be an interest-
ing series of addresses. Better come.

TWIN CITIES.

The Market.

The past week all the retailers have
done a good business, notwithstanding
that after the holidays trade in general
is not expected to be good. We are now
enjoying one of our fine winters, not
quite so cold, but lots of snow, and it
seems to be a foregone conclusion that
every change in the weather brings more
business, particularly in funeral work.
We in the north are accustomed to cold
winters, lots of snow, and when such
conditions exist business is good, not
only with the florist, but with all lines of
trade. Prices have kept up well and it
seems that the department stores have

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

taken a brace along those lines. We
learn that some of them are getting $5
and $6 a dozen for choice Bichmond,
while the legitimate florist is selling the
same stock at $3 and $4. Killarney is
commanding $2 and $3 per dozen, Maids,
«tc., from $2 to $3. Carnations bring $1
to $2.50 per dozen. Violets are again
back to a firm price of 50 cents per
bunch of twenty-five. Orchids are some-
times called for, but cannot be supplied.
The high price makes it unprofitable to
■carry a stock of them.

Although bouquet green was held at
a premium before Christmas, there is
still some of it on hand. From four to
a dozen cases of poor holly, can be seen
in each of the flower stores. Immortelle
bells were also left.

Minneapolis.

A visit to the Donaldson green-
houses found James Souden in fine spir-
its and getting fairly well rested up
after the holiday rush. His houses are
the picture of neatness and good order.
All of his stock looks fine. In all they
have about 65,000 feet of glass, in which
a general line of stock is grown, princi-
pally roses and carnations. Eichmond is
the only red grown outside of one bench
of Beauties. They have three houses in
Richmond and the stock is fine, large
daily cuts being made, even during the
cloudy weather. Brides and Maids are
also fine and while some growers are of
the opinion that the latter variety is run-
ning out, Mr. Souden has faith in it.
Chatenay is grown to some extent and is
very fine. The new Minneapolis rose,
Miss Kate Moulton, is also there and
they predict a brilliant future for it.
There seems to be some discussion in
these parts as to which is the best, the
Moulton or the Killarney. A fine house
of Enchantress carnations can be seen,
and while the cut is light at the present
time, within the next few weeks large
nimibers will be cut. Mr. Souden also
has a fine bench of adiantum, grown in
the bench, not potted. Thousands of
fronds have been cut and still thousands
remain. For a range of medium size, the
houses are fine and kept up in the best
possible shape, much to the credit of their
superintendent, Mr. James Souden. This
case is the only one known in this sec-
tion where a department store has its
own greenhou^s.

An agreement has been made between
the cemetery associations whereby they
refuse to permit funerals on Sundays,
and the general opinion is that this move
will hurt the florists to some extent.

St. Paul.

The retailers report good business for
the past week; at times some of them
have had to hunt for white stock. Sun-
day morning orders are becoming quite
heavy and retailers are, as a rule, kept
fairly busy. A call on the Swanson
Floral Co. found Gus Colberg resting
after a heavy Sunday morning rush.
Aug. Vogt, who has a store on St. An-
thony Hill, where the elite of our city
reside, possibly does more business Sun-
day morning than on many a good week
day.

Henry Puvogel has some good violets
and carnations. He has a new carnation
house, w"hich he was fortunate enough to
get completed before zero weather struck
us.

L. L. May & Co. estimate that the

mild weather so far has made at least
a difference of $1,000 in their coal bill.
Eastern supply houses are making in-
quiry for lycopodium for dyeing pur-
poses. fSjx.

BOSTON.

The Market.

Conditions are less favorable than a
week ago and prices have softened ma-
terially. The demand has not been equal
to the supply and quite a number of
flowers have had to be carried over each
day. Eoses have been in oversupply. The
best Beauties average $50 per hundred, a
few special Brides and Maids $12, but
many of the two latter go at from $3 to
$6. Carnations have made $4 for first-
class stock, a few making $5. White
varieties go slowest at $2. Violets vary
from 60 cents to $1, only the very best
making the higher figure.

Quite a number of tulips and yellow
narcissi are coming, making $3 to $4 per
hundred. Sweet peas vary from 50
cents to $1 according to quality, in
which there is a wide range. Callas and
Harrisii remain about the same and
there is no change in other stock. Some

very good antirrhinum and mignonette
are seen in the market, also a few Eng-
lish primroses, myosotis and stocks.

Carnation G>nvention.

The reception committee from the
Gardeners' and Florists' Club will meet
all trains on arrival at the north and
south terminals and Back Bay and Trin-
ity place railroad stations on Wednes-
day morning, January 24. Members of
this committee will wear a red badge.

Tickets for the Copley Square hotel
banquet can be had from J. W. Duncan,
John K. M. L. Farquhar, Peter Fisher,
David Lumsden, Alexander Montgomery,
William Nicholson, Patrick Welch, James
Wheeler and Edward Wood.

We hope to see a good delegation of
our western friends at the convention.
New England may not have as large car-
nation establishments as some other sec-
tions, but in quality of blooms she will
be found in the forefront, as well as in
seedlings.

Various Notes.

The plant and flower committee of the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society has
been invited to inspect a house of the
new flesh-pink carnation, Marion Pierce,
at Topsfield, which attracted much favor-
able notice at the late chrysanthemum
show.

J. J. Fee, of Jamaica Plain; E. Suter-
meister, Eeadville; Mann Bros., Ran-
dolph, Paine Bros, and J. Tailby & Son
are sending in very good bulbous stock
at present, some of the tulips being espe-
cially fine for so early in the season.

Carnation night at the Gardeners' and
Florists' Club on January 16 and other
attractions in the way of exhibits, music,
etc., will undoubtedly draw one of the
largest crowds the club has yet seen. No
member can afford to miss this meeting
and the good things it will afford.

Some good gladioli of the Gandavensis
type are being marketed by Lively &
Bond.

At a meeting of the directors of the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society on
January 6, five new life members were
elected. It was voted to ask the state
legislature to set aside $25,000 from the
gypsy and brown tail moth appropriations
to be awarded to a California gentleman
who offers to introduce natural parasites
to chase out the pests and who does not
ask for one cent of the money unless the
parasites do what he claims. If some
such parasite can be discovered it will
prevent \he deforestation of a large part
of this and^ other states which th^ rapid
increase of the pests threaten. /

Alexander McKay, of South Framing-
ham, is marketing extra fine Prosperity
and Enchantress carnations and is cut-
ting from a batch of 7,000 very fine
freesias.

Thomas Stock, of Dorchester, has his
usual fine lot of double bouvardia.

F. J. Holmes, of Saugus, is bringing
in some extra fine antirrhinums.

William Nicholson has extra fine free-
sia. Some of R. Fischer 's strain have re-
markable stems.

Houghton & Clark are showing some
good Zygopetalum Mackayi and Dendro-
biura formosum giganteum.

Pink Patten carnation is showing up
extra well at Patten & Co.'s establish-
ment at present.

A. Eoper's variegated seedling carna-
tion, Chester Roper, is even more flori-
ferous than last year, which hardly
seemed possible. He has some fine seed-
lings coming on which we hope to see
at the A. C. S. meeting.

David Lumsden has retired from the
firm of A. Leuthy & Co., in which he
has been a partner for some time. Mr.
Lumsden is a first-class plantsman and
we hope may stay in this section.

A dull thud heard in the markets on
the morning of January 3 was occa-
sioned by the fall in carnation prices.

•driessed himself to those having little
knowledge or experience in such matters.
l..ittle need be said as to the cultural and
aesthetic value of ])lants and llowers in
the srliool-room. Scarcely anyone would
maintain that a reasonable amount of
time and atteidion to such matters by
teachers and pupils would be misspent.''

The . jiain|ihlet is directly in line witli
the ideas presented at the last S. A. I',
coiixcntion, at which time a committee
was appointed to prejiare a plan for a
te.xt-l'ook to be jilaced in tiie schools of
tile country. The convention outlined a
more pretentious publication than the
painpidet from I'urdue, but .Mr. Dorner 's
work makes an excellent beginning. It
goes as thoroughly as need be into the
subject of selection of window plants,
about watering, propagation, fertilizers,
etc., with chapters on some of the com-
moner kinds nf window plants. The op
erations are illustrated by half-tones. It
need scarcely be said that the directions
are sane and practical. It is to be hoped
that means have been provided for plac-
ing the pamphlet in the bands of every
school-teacher in Indiana and much good
would undoubtedly come of it if the dis-
tribution could be still more general.

[imcs called for, but cannot be sujjplied.

Vh" iiigh price makes it unprofitable to

Minneapolis.

A visit to the Donaldson greeu-
oiise-s found James Soiidcn in fine spir-
its and getting fairly well rested up
ifter the holiday rush. Ills houses arc
die picture of neatne.'-s and good order.
All of his stock looks fine, in all they
navo about G5,0()() feet of glass, in which
1 general line, of stock is grown, princi-
pally roses and carnations. Kiehmond is
'he only red grown outside of one bench
■f Beauties. Thoy have tliree houses in
Jxichmond and the stock is fine, large
iaily cuts being made, even during tlir
■loudy woatiier. Brides and ]\lai(ls arc
tiso fine and while some growers are of
(he opinion that the latter variety is run-
ning out, Mr. Souden has faith in it.
''hatenay is grown to some extent and is
very fine. The new Minneapolis rose,
Mi'-s Kate Moulton, is also there anil
they predict a brilliant future for it.
There seems to be some discussion in
these parts as to which is the best, the
Moulton or the Killarney. A fine house
.>f Enchantress carnations can be seen,
• tud while the cut is light at the present
time, within the next few weeks largo
numbers will be cut. Mr. Souden also
has a fine bench of adiantum, grown in
the bench, not potted. Thousands of
fronds have been cut and still thousands
ronuain. For a range of medium size, the
houses are fine and kept up in the best
possible shape, much to the credit of their,
-iiperintendent, -Mr. James Souden. This
case is the only one known in this sec-
; tion where a department store has its
' "wn greenhouses.

An agreement hns been nia<le between
Mil- cemetery associations whereby they
letiise to permit funerals on Sundays,
ind the general opinion is that this move
■^'^ill hurt the florists to some cxtiMit.

The Market.

Conditions are less favorable than a
week ago and prices have softened ma-
terially. The demand has not been eijual
to the su[)ply and quite a number of
flowers ha\e had to be carried over each
day. Roses have been in oversupply. The
best Beauties average $50 per hundred, a
few special Brides and Alaids $12, but
many of the two latter go at from $,'{ to
$0. Carnations have nuule $4 for first-
class stock, a few making $5. White

from (iO cen.ts to $1, only the very best
making the higher figure.

ci.dly fine for so early in the .season.

( ariiation night at the Gardeners' and
I'lorists' Club on January 16 and other
attractions in the way of exhibits, music,
etc., will undoubtedly draw one of the
l;iij;est crowds the club has yet seen. No
niiiiiber can afford to miss this meeting
iMid the good thin^fs it will afford.

Some good gladioli of the (iandavensis

At a meeting of the directors of the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society on
.faiuiary (5, five new life members were
elerte'l. it w as votcil to ask the stat^
legislature to set aside $25,(100 from the
gypsy and brown tail moth appropriations
to Ih' awarded to a (.'alifornia gentleman
who offers to introduce natural parasites
to chase out the pests and who does not
;isk for one cent of the money unless the
parasites do what he (daims. If some
such parasite can l)e discovered it will
pivvent the deforestation of a large part
of this and other states which the rapid
increase of the pests threaten.

Alexander McKay, of South Framing-
iiaiM, is marketing extra fine Prosperity

dations and iron posts and gutters.

attention to his place. It is ten feet
high and the lemons are larger than
grapefruit.

Paxtox, III. — E. B. Morgan & Co.,
are building a new house 14x130 on the
south side of their range and in the
spring will add several liouses on the
north side.

Carthage, III. — Samuel Stone died
December 27 of typhoid fever, with
which Mrs. Stone also was ill at the same
time. She is left Avith seven children and
the management of the greenhouse busi-
ness.

LiNDENWOLD, N. J. — S. E. & H, D.
Moore have added a boiler house and
show room to their plant the past sea-
son. They handle nursery stock of all
kinds, as well as miscellaneous green-
house stock.

Lake Geneva, "Wis. — At the St. Louis
World 's Fair flower show C. H. Geb-
hardt won a gold medal for his employer,
H. G. Selfridge, and for himself a silver
medal, the diplomas representing which
were received January 4, 1906.

Montgomery, Ala. — Mrs. O. A. Clapp,
who went out of business some time ago
because of inability to secure water, has
obtained connection with the city water
supply and now has every prospect of
building up a fine business.

KosEDVLE, Kan. — Chas. H. Acker-
man has removed here from Kansas City
and engage<l in market gardening. He
has two houses, about 4,000 feet of glass,
which will be devoted to vegetables. Next
summer additional houses will be built
for cut flowers.

Clarinda. Ia. — J. V. Pfander, of this
city, and Wm. Pierce, of Nebraska City,
Neb., have bought of Claude Welch the
property known as the Clarinda Green-
iiouses, and are now conducting the busi-
ness. Mr. Pierce owns greenhouses at
Nebraska City, which will for a time be
managed by his wife, but he hopes to sell
out there and remove his family to this
citv.

LxDEPENDENCE, Kan. — W. E. Mattock

appointed director of the new depart-
ment of floriculture at the state fair.

East Tawas, Mich. — L. Allison is
-closing out his florists' business here, in-
tending to seek a new location.

Rockford, III. — The F. M. Johnson
greenhouses have been sold to D. C.
Lorimer, who, associated with O. H.
Hall, will conduct them under the name
of Lorijner & Hall.

Des Moines, Ia. — Two Greeks, who
recently started a flower store here, quar-
reled January 2 and one attacked the
other with a pair of shears, at least so
Louis Fischer complained of Tony Mara-
polos.

Seu)alia, Mo. — Gelveu & Son report
Christmas trade, both local and shipping,
as up to the average. The supply of
carnations was away ahead of any pre-
vious year but the rose crop was about
a week late.

Helena, Mont. — Chas. Otto Horn, of
the Grandon Greenhouses, reports the
holiday business as excellent, prices if
anything a little lower than in 1904.
There has been a large increase in the
sale of blooming plants and bulbous
stock in pans.

Marion, Ia. — George Button says
that he has educated his people to expect
good Enchantress, Lawson, Estelle and
such carnations at moderate prices and
that when prices are as high as they
were at the holidays it almost wholly
shuts off the trade.

Napoleon, O. — K. W. Hartman says
that his business in 1905 was about one-
third larger than in 1904. He has about
10,000 feet of glass and grows carna-
tions and general stock. He has just
rebuilt one house, 14x100, and from the
way the demand is increasing expects
1906 to show still better results.

Titusville. Pa. — Christmas trade was
very good. Quality of stock was good
and good prices prevailed, but supply was
short in holly, carnations and roses. In
potted plants, palms, ferns, poinsettias
and primroses sold well. W. B. Bay says
the new year is coming in with a number
of weddings and good stock is still short
of the demand. The weather is excel-
lent.

East ]Maucii Chunk, Pa. — Robert B.
Williams is getting on his feet again,
both literally and financially. A year
ago he fell through the floor of his green-
house and sustained injuries which laid
him up for several months. While he
was unable to attend to business his boy
neglected the fires one night and the
place froze up. He is a hard worker and
since getting about again slowly has been
restocking as fast as a latk of capital
would ])ormit.

NOTICE

Because of the new wage scale which
the iPrinters* Union has enforced upon
those employers not willing to suffer
interruption of their business, especially
because of that part of the scale which
makes overtime practically prohibitive,
it is of first importance that the Review
obtain its advertising **copy" earlier.

It is therefore earnestly requested
that all advertisers mail their **copy^
to reach us by Monday or Tuesday
morning, instead of Wednesday morn-
ing, as many have done in the past.

became pretty slow all along the line,
but this week business started in brisk-
ly and there 's every indication of a
considerable period of prosperity. The
cold weather has served to reduce pro-
duction and is an aid in maintaining
prices. Shipping trade is quite active
this week and local business fair.

The rose cuts, while not increasing
rapidly, are very much improved in
quality. Those who need fancy stock
can be accommodated. Beauty cuts are
.just about equal to the donand. There
are carnations for all requirements.
Prices have stiffened a little this
week, but appear very reasonable in
comparison with what they were most
of the past three weeks. A very
large part of the receipts grade as
strictly fancy.

Violets are coming in heavily and
the demand is slow. Quality is good
and jH'ices are low, so that an increase
in the demand is pretty sure to be felt
before long. Easter lilies are coming
in mere heavily. There are plenty of
callas. Many tulips are now seen, red,
.vellow and white, but they do not
sell very fast. Mignonette is abun-
dant, also stcvia. A few sweet peas
are seen. The market for green goods
♦continues active.

Retailers Ors[atuze.

On Monday evening there was a meet-
ing of the retail florists at the Hey-
worth building, called, to order by A.
Lange, with forty present, a number of

the leading houses being represented
by employees. Temporary oflScers were
chosen as follows: Chairman, George
Walther; secretary, Henry Klunder;
treasurer, Charles Fisk. On motion of
Ed Enders it was voted to proceed to
the ^•(■ganization of the Chicago Retail
Florists' Association. A committee was
elected to prepare by-laws and plan of
organization and to constitute the first
board of directors. The names selected
were those of E. Wienhoeber, C. A.
Samuelson, Wm. KidweJl, George As-
mus, A. Lange, C. H. Fisk and W. J.
Smyth. Kidwell, Lange and Fisk were
present, the others represented by em-
ployees.

A member raised the point as to
whether the organization should be a
secret one. He advocated secrecy. This
precipitated a general debate as to the
purposes of the association. Many de-
plored the phraseology of the call,
which was to the effect that the object
Avas the discussion of the "red violet"
business among the wholesalers. It
was declared to he the purpose to estab-
lish a permanent organization for the
good of the whole trade. Emphasis was
laid upon the fact that no strife of any
kind is contemplated and that all ef-
forts in the direction of instituting re-
forms would be along the line of
friendly co-operation. Those who took
this view urged that the greatest pos-
sible publicity be given the objects
and activities of the organization," and
their arguments prevailed.

Dues were fixed at $3 per year.
Everybody laid dow^n a dollar and the
meeting adjourned until next Monday
at the same place.

There is a large field for such an or-
ganization and much good may bo ex-
pected if the conservatism of the first
meeting is continued.

Club Doings.

The Florists' Club will meet this
evening. The program committee will
announce "doings" at Wiesellman's,
Clark and Devon avenue, January' Is,
at 7:30 p. m. This will be such an af
fair as the successful outside meetings
held last year. There will be music and
refreshments in addition to oratory.

Horticultural Society.

The Horticultural Society held its
annual meeting Monday afternoon.
Officers were elected as follows: Prosi
dent, E. G. Uihlein; vice-presidents. H.
G. Self ridge, Ernst Wienhoeber, W. A.
Peterson; secretary and treasurer, W.
N". Rudd; executive committee, J. C.
Vaughan, Edgar Sanders, N. P. Mil-
ler, R. H. Warder, Geo. Asmus. E. A.
Kanst, P. J. Hauswirth. Leonard Kill.

E. A. Kanst positively declined re-
election as assistant secretary. He was
given a special vote of thanks for his
five years' faithful and efficient work.

The executive committee was author-
ized to hold a show next fall. Tho
show for 1904 made a loss of $22 and
for 1905 a profit of $4,794.88. The re-
ceipts for the year were $1;'5,3.'52.92.
much the largest on record and there is
$5,800 in the treasury.

The Market

The cut flower business has been
about all that was expected for the
past week; while some complain that
it was rather slow others were quite
busy, among them Randolph & Mc-
Clenients, who had a big week and
wound it up Saturday night with an
elaborate decoration for the Carnegie
Steel Co., at the Duquesne Club.

Roses are still short and high-priced
but there was quite a drop in carna-
tions, which became very plentiful and
where one wanted them in thousand
lots they could be bought down. With
the snow and predicted zero weather
no doubt they will brace up this week.
Sprengeri continues scarce in this mar-
ket, but all other greens are in abun-
dance.

looking pleasant. It 'a a boy and he
came Christmas.

A, W. Smith made up a set of bou-
quets for the Sellers wedding one day
last week which, to say the least, were
unusual. The bride's bouquet wfis of
white roses made solid, without other
foliage than a border of ferns, tied
with wide, double-faced white satin
ribbon. The maid of honor had solid
mignonette edged with Paper White
narcissi. The four bridesmaids' bou-
quets were made solid, the center of
mignonette surrounded by a ring of
Ghatenay, forget-me-nots, yellow dais-
ies, Paper White narcissi edged with
stevia, all tied with long ribbon and a
single flower on the ends of the ribbon.
The effect was very much out of the
ordinary but very pretty. One would
call it colonial style, but the society
editor for the daily papers called them
Dresden bouquets.

The Florists' Club met Tuesday even-
ing and the nomination of officers for
the ensuing year was taken up. Presi-
dent Langhans refusing to accept a
second term, John Jones, of Sehenley
park, received the nomination. All
other old officers were renominated, and
there being no opposition all will be
re-elected at the next meeting. The
subject for discussion was small flow-
ers. The exhibits were then taken up.
The Pittsburg Florists' Exchange
showed Beauties, Queen of Edgely,

baby primroses, carnations, forget-me-
nots, roses, daisies and tulips. Mr.
Price, gardener for J. B. Laughlin, ex-
hibited some specially well done prim-
ulas, tulips, valley and blue coleus.
The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. had white
snapdragon, Bon Silene and Cusin
roses, baby primroses, bouvardia, sin-
gle violets, tulips, white, red and yel-
low; Romans, Paper Whites, valley,
white and pink sweet peas, Adiantum
hybritlum, mignonette, and red, white
and pink seedling carnations from the
Pittsburg Rose & Carnation Co., which
were favorably commented upon. Presi-
dent Langhans, who is a very modest
fellow, told of the various uses of these
novelties, and all in all it was a very
interesting talk. Harry Bunyard was
there, with his little spiel, which all
enjoyed.

Monday January 29, will be McKin-
ley day, and as it has been the custom
for every one to honor the day by wear-
ing a carnation we should all begin
to call attention to it and not allow this
beautiful custom to be dropped.

The Market

Good white and pink roses are bring-
ing from $12 to $15 and while not
over-plentiful, still there seem to be
enough to go around. Red roses are
very scarce. Carnations are selling
readily at from $3 to $5. Now that
bulbous stock is putting in its appear-
ance it is hoped roses and carnations
will come down a peg or two. Violets
are not much in fleiiiand. Business has
been very good the past few weeks.
A large reception New Year's after-
noon kept several of the florists espe-
cially busy.

1905 in Detroit

The year liJOo will long be remem-
bered by many Detroit florists, by some
with a smile and others a sigh, but
speaking from a business standpoint,
it has been a banner year. With the
exception of a little lull this fall, busi-
ness was very good with everyone. As
in most cities, carnations have been
very scarce this fall, therefore com-
manding a good price, and having no
street fakirs to cut prices, people seem
to have got out of the habit of looking
for cheap stuflf. Through the scarcity
of carnations, roses also brought a
good price all along. Violets did not
sell as well as in former years. Palms

and other plants seem to be coming in

due to the high price on cut flowers.

Qub Meetin£.

The regular meeting was held
Wednesday, January 3. The attendance
was better than might have been ex-
pected on a very wet night. The main
subject of the evening was an interest-
ing paper by H. T. Dodson, on "Hot
Water under Pressure." This was
followed by a very interesting discus-
sion. Both Mr. Dodson and C. M. Lar-
son, who make steam and hot. water
heating their business, gladly answer-
ed questions. In answer to a question,
the care of cut poinsettias was again
thoroughly gone over with the follow-
ing results: As soon as cut place the
end of the stem in four or five inches
of very hot water for about ten min-
utes; then place in cool water the same
as any other flower. Great care must
then be exercised in handling the fl"ow-
ers, as every leaf that is broken gives
the milk a chance to escape, thereby
causing the bracts to wither. Out-of-
town growers should bear this in mind
in packing for shipment.

George Browne exhibited two seed-
ling carnations, Lawson pink and white
in color. Both are from a cross between
Prosperity and Enchantress. They re-
ceived very favorable comment from
all.

Although it is still undecided who de-
serves first prize for the cement bench
exhibits, Pres. Dilger was afraid the
box of cigars donated by B. Schroeter
would spoil, so it was burned up by
the members. Through Secretary Sulli-
van's long absence and the rush of the
last month, the publication of the Club
Rambler was neglected, but from now
on it will be published on the Thurs-
day preceding the meeting: J. F. Sulli-
van, editor-in-chief; Hugo Schroeter,
associate editor; Albert Bemb, business
manager; Walter Taepke, treasurer.

E. A. Fetters was unanimously elect-
ed a member.

The subject for the next meeting will
be the Christmas and holiday trade.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market

The past 'week not much was going
on and trade was generally considered
dull, which is expected right after the
holidays. One of the most noticeable
features of the market since the holi-
days is the big increase in receipts of
almost all flowers, and especially
carnations and violets. Stock of fine
quality can now be had at a moderate

price. The fine weather accounts for
the conditions that prevail at pres-
ent.

In roses we find a fine quality of teas,,
also long and short Beauties, greatly
reduced in price from what they were
a week ago. Carnations are still more
plentiful and fancy stock can be bought
as low as $4 per hundred. Extra select
in Enchantress, Prosperity and Lawson
are down to $5. California violets of
extra fine quality are down to 50 cents
per hundred and cheaper in large lots.
Bulbous stock is plentiful, except lilies.
Valley is in demand for weddings.
Everything In green is to be had.

Bowling*

The lady florists' bowling at'teruoon
at the Hamilton hotel was a big suc-
cess. Ten ladies responded to the call
and bowled three games, after which
they sat down to a fine lunch. It was a
most enjoyable time and may be re-
peated in the near future. The follow-
ing are the scores made in the three
j^ames:

Mrs. Theo Miller was high, 391, win-
ning a pair of gloves; Miss Bertha
A[einhardt, 331, a pair of gloves; Lin-
nie Meinhardt, 258, silk scarf; Tillie
-Meinhardt, 248, box of handkerchiefs;
Mrs. J. J. Beneke, 204, handkerchiefs;
Miss Schnell, 198, bottle of perfume;
Mrs. John Koenig, lowest score, 96, a
V>ox of toy tenpins.

The other ladies taking part were
Mrs. F. C. Weber, 182; Mrs. Otto
Koenig, 191, and Mrs. Jolin Stcidle,
127.

The florists' league team again lost
their match with the Unions last
Thursday. Capt. Beyer was again out
of the game. R. Meinhardt was again
high man, with 500; Beneke, 496; Elli-

son, 478; Lohrenz, 460, and Kuehn

Wm. Adels was signed to help out to-

The Market.

Business the past week has been
good, prices remaining the same as
quoted last week, with a demand slight-

day found the wholesalers cleaned up
on stock. Isaac Kennedy, of West

roses ever seen in this city, and all who
have seen this new rose of his growing,
say he has a winner.

NEV YORK.

The Market.

The market followed the usual course,
last week, of every New Year's market
since the flood. I do not refer to the
flood of violets which flowed in steadily
all the week, until, at times, the best
went begging at 50 cents a hundred.
Imagine the importunity of the street
merchants at every corner with the * ' left
overs" of each day and the aroma these
enterprising gentlemen dispensed at "25
cents a bunch, meester, nisa fresh ! ' '
Those sweet flowers that make the very
air up on the Hudson violetty, how they
do lose their distinctiveness on the way
down, and when a few hours old, as Ray-
mond Hitchcock sings it, "Isn't it funny
what a difference a few hours makef "

A good deal of everything that wasn 't
first-class went into the discard last week.
Of course, the aces, kings and queens
were drawn as fast as there was a show
down, but that is no new story. The
best always is short in the New York
market. I mean the long stuff.

Club Meeting.

A splendid meeting of the Florists'
Club began the new year Monday
night. Ex-President Traendly intro-
duced the new president in an eloquent
tribute to his popularity and took occa-

and is given in full in this issue of
the Review.

The exhibits of the evening were
vases of Robert Craig and Victory,
Senator Crane and the bright crimson
seedling No. 31, the last two men-
tioned being exhibited by Eobt C. Pye,
of Nyack, N. Y. Senator Crane is a
brilliant pink of immense size and
delightful fragrance, measuring three
and one-half to four inches in diameter
and received the club's certificate of
merit. Mr. Pye will not place this
variety on the market before 1908.
Its parentage is Lawson and Bradt.
The exhibit was much admired.

Resolutions on the death of Mrs. C.
H. Allen were read. Six new members
were elected and eight proposed:
Messrs. McManus, Lechner, Moltz,
Grant, Cornett, Forrester, Salto and
A. J. Scott, a good beginning.

The election of new trustees re-
sulted as follows: Nugent, 35; Miller,
19; Butterfield, 17; Kessler, 16; Lang-
jahr, 2. Messrs. Nugent and Miller
were declared elected.

The president announced his com-
mittees as follows: Legislative, John
N. May, P. O'Mara and C. H. Allen;
essays, Wallace, O'Mara and Traend-
ly; awards, Totty, Duckham, Plumb,
Roehrs, Donaldson, A. J. Manda, James
Scott; outing, Wheeler, Shaw, Hoff-
meyer, Fenrich, Pepper, Weber,
Schultz; executive, Birnie, Lenker,
Jos. Manda, Hurrell, Dupuy, Butter-
field; house and entertainment, Nugent,
Koehne, Schultz; dinner, Haffner,
Sheridan, Weathered.

The provisions of the house commit-
tee exceeded in variety any of Nu-
gent's efforts in 1905. Two large tur-
keys from his country hatchery van-
ished, and only "the baseless fabric
of a vision" remained.

After the recess, the subject of the
flower show proved of absorbing inter-
est. Messrs. O'Mara, Guttman, Ward,
Nugent, Wheeler, Pepper, Scott and
Wallace participated in the discus-
sion. Mr. O'Mara gave an exhaustive
resume of the exhibitions of the club
since its formation. There was not

suflScient encouragement in the general
results to warrant much enthusiasm
and another venture was looked upon
as suicidal to the club's finances. The
matter was referred to the board of
trustees with instructions to make a
further report at the carnation night
of the club in February. The trustees
were also authorized to consider the
advisability of a show similar to the
one made some years ago in the News-
boys' home.

The treasurer's report shows a bal-
ance of $1,643 in the treasury. The
secretary reported the addition of
thirty new members for the year and
an average attendance of sixty-two.
The entire expenses of the house com-
mittee, under Nugent 's economic man-
agement, totaled only $333. Votes of
thanks were unanimously given all the
old committees and the retiring trus-
tees and oflScers. The resignation of
Prof. W. G. Johnson was accepted with
regret. The dinner committee was
authorized to arrange for the club's
annual dinner.

Various Notes.

President Scott's dinner to the
club's officials, retiring officers and
trustees on Saturday evening at the
Vendome was a delightful affair and
the ideas advanced by all in behalf of
a continuance of the club 's prosperity
cannot but bear abundant fruit. The
menu was the best the house affords
and the evening a most harmonious
and interesting one throughout.

A course of free lectures, and popu-
lar ones, on agriculture and horticul-
ture begins on Wednesday of this week
at the American Institute in the Berke-
ley Lyceum. It will be continued dur-
ing the winter on the second and fourth
Wednesdays of each month. The first
lecture, on "The Soil," will be given
by George T. Powell, president of the
Agricultural Experts' Association.

Notwithstanding the remarkable
mildness of the weather, la grippe, that
arch enemy of the florist, has been
abroad and has laid unholy hands on

some of the elect. George Saltford
was one of its victims last week, and
John Birnie, against whom the bleak
winds of auld Scotia blew in vain, had
to lower his colors to the foe on Satur-
day.

On Monday the earth was clad in its
first white garment of the year. Just
enough of ' ' the beautiful ' ' fell to re-
mind us we are not out of the woods
yet and that spring, like the prodigal
son, is still "afar off."

The next event of general import-
ance in the east is the carnation con-
vention in Boston. Everybody seems
to be planning for the trip, not the
carnation experts only, and we have a
few of them, but the wholesalers and
the growers from all around us. It
looks as though President Fisher's esti-
mate of "the greatest ever" will come
true,

Arthur Merritt has located in the
old Hammond headquarters on West
Thirtieth street, close to the pioneers.
Hart and Perkins, and his gilded

leucothoe wreaths make an attractive
window. Mr. Merritt 's patent on these
simple, durable, beautiful wreaths is
secured. They will outlast the immor-
telles, are useful in all kinds of floral
designs and a large demand for them
has developed from out of town, while
all the bon-ton stores use them here in
their decorations.

In our references to Mr. Coyle last
week we omitted to mention a seven
years' engagement with Charles Mil-
lang, the originator of the wholesale
plant convenience in this city.

Charles Totty, of Madison, the Rich-
mond king in the east, was in the city
Saturday. His wholesaler, Mr. Fen-
rich, was a victim of la grippe several
days last week and was still under the
doctor's care on Sunday. These are
strenuous days for the men worn out
by the holiday rush and behind hand on
sleep and rest. One needs a large re-
serve reservoir to maintain the pace-
of this rapid village.

On January 7 C. W. Ward enter-
tained a party of eight leading carna-
tion growers at Cottage Gardens.
Among them were Robert Craig, Mr.
Pierson, M. A. Patten and Peter
Pisher. A visit was paid to some of
the neighboring establishments.

The Dutchess County Violet Co. has
removed its headquarters to 115 West
Thirtieth street. C. A. Plumb is in
charge.

John Baumann, for twenty years in
the florists' business, died at Middle
Village, L. I., the first of the year after
a long illness. He was highly esteemed
and a prominent member of one of the
■oldest German singing societies, the
Schwabische Sangerbiind.

In liis eighty-seventh year, on Janu-
ary 4, Samuel B. Parsons, Sr., died at
his Flushing home, of paralysis after
a lingering illness. He was universally
esteemed and beloved by all who knew
him. He was one of America's pio-
neers in the nursery business and one
of the best known and most thoroughly
efficient. His son, S. B. Parsons, Jr.,
is superintendent of the Xew York
fity parks.

Bridget Scanlon, the wife of James
.\Iallon, one of tlie best known Horists of

Brooklyn, died January 4 at her home,
306 State street, of a complication of
diseases, after an illness of four months.
Mrs. Mallon was born in County Clare,
Ireland, about seventy years ago, and had
lived in Brooklyn for fifty-seven years.
Her husband survives her with four chil-
dren, all well known in Brooklyn.

Lion & Co., the new ribbon house, has
located at 114 to 116 Spring street, in
fine offices on the first floor, ifi this, one
of the busiest wholesale sections of the
big city. Mr. Lion was a member of the
old firm of Lion & Wertheimer, now
Wertheimer Bros. Lion & Co. will make
a specialty of florists ' ribbons.

The big ball of the wholesalers' em-
l)loyees takes place Saturday evening,
as already announced. It is an assured
success, many hundreds of tickets hav-
ing been sold and everybody is going.
The boys have gone to great expense and
shown much harmonious enterprise in
pushing the event to a satisfactory con-
summ;)tion. It will be a gala night and
deserves the patronage of every florist in
the city.

Bowling.

The bowling club has not recovered
from the all-night holiday effort of most

of its members and the attendance was
limited. Next Tuesday practice begins
in earnest and all intending to belong
are urged to be present at the election
of the year's officers, captain, etc. The
active membership will total over twenty.

AMERICAN SEED TRADE ASSOaATION.

Pres., W. H. Grenell, Sagrinaw, W. S., Mien.;
First Vlce-Pres., L. L. May, St. Paul; Sec'y and
Treas., C. E. Kendel, Cleveland. The 24th annual
meeting^ will be held at San Jose, Cal., June, 1906.

Peycke Bros., Kansas City, Mo.

Hugh M. Taylor, melon seed grower,
Lloyd, Fla., is spending the winter at Sil-
ver City, X. M.

The seed traveler seeking to book or-
ders now for delivery after harvest 1906
is reported on hand at almost any town
shown on the map.

Considerable activity has developed in
the onion set market since January 1. A
sharp advance in price is reported at
Louisville, where, during the preceding
month, a marked bearish feeling pre-
vailed.

Good weather generally throughout the
country is causing peremptory demands
that §hip)B^nt of^booked orders be made.
The wholesalers are hoping that a storm
may arrive somewhere to assist them in
catching' up.

There is a delay in foreign shipments
of import seeds which makes the seeds-
man's row harder to hoe than is usual.
It is admitted, however, that they foreign
brother may also have good reasons for
the delay in pushing things forward.

The virtue of the seed trade dis-
claimer is to have another test; this time
in the casf of W. W. Barnard Co., of
Chicago, versus a customer who claims
he received a wrong kind of seed from
that firm. The hearing of the case is
booked for an early date.

Oniok seed prices have become steady
after a good swing both ways. The
Globe varieties will easily bring the
highest price named for them in any of
the catalogues, while the flat sorts would
stand a considerable advance over cata-
logue rates and no harm come from it.

Northwest of Chicago is a great
market gardening section in which the
consumption of seeds is as heavy as in
any single neighborhood in the country.
It remained for Knud Gundestrup, then
an employee in a Chicago seed store, to
see the possibilities for a seed house in
this district. With Peter S. Peterson
he established a store at 4273 Milwau-
kee avenue and has been steadily build-
ing up a business in market gardeners '
specialties.

The president of the Dutch Bulb
Growers ' Association, at a recent meet-
ing, stated that during July, August and
September, 1905, the export of bulbs
from Holland amounted to 8,754,600
kilograms, twenty-one per cent more
than the corresponding months in 1904,
and 100 per cent more than in 1897.
The increased demands since 1897 were
as follows: America, 24.6 per cent;
Denmark, Norway and Sweden, 24.5 per
cent; Germany, 18.5 per cent; Bussia,
13.5 per cent; Great Britain and Ire-
land, 12.9 per cent; Belgium and France,
6 per cent. — Horticultural Trade Jour-

A GORGEOUS
NOVELTY

I

The most RorReous colored Sweet Pea'yet Introduced. It may be termed a self OorMona,
having a rich orange salmon standard, and falls or wings still a trifle deeper color, gmng a
rich, fiery orange or deep sunset color to the whole flower, very striking and unique. It has
caused quite a sensation wherever shown during the past year.

PHYLLIS UN WIN ao°v'E*L^;

Color a deep rosy carmine self, the same form as GLADYS DNWIN, with the prettily waved
' and bold standard of that variety, but a little larger, producing 3 to 4 flowers on a stem. It
is quite sunproof and perfectly flxed. The stems are long and stout, and it may be described
as A OIAVT IH BVBBT WAT.

Each of above novelties, $14.60 per 100 packets;
$1.75 per dos. (Retail* 26 cents).

This finest ot all Pink Sweet Peas we introduced last season. It is a striking-

and sterling' improTement, qnlte flxed and dietinot, and a

great acanisition for Out Blooms.

0:LADTB UBWIB has a very large and bold flower, not hooded, but with a very strikins
upright crinkled or wavy standard, and broad wings. Color, a pale rosy pink. A strik-
ing feature is that about 75 per cent of the long flower stems are with four blooms, which
is a most unusual thing in Sweet Peas. It was first raised four years ago, viz., in 1901, and
has kept pSsfectl^ true and flsed in character each year since and we have no hesitation
in saying it is A bona-fide departure in pinks. For market growers especially it canoot be
surpassed, and is just the lovely pink color which is so much in demand. 94.60 per pound.

The executive committee of the Ameri-
aii Seed Trade Association met at
|)oouer's hotel, Philadelphia, on Wednes-
jjiv January 10. Those present were
President W. H. Grenell, Secretary C. E.
Ivendel, S. F. Willard, F. W. Bolgiano,
\\. Atlee Burpee, Burnett Landreth,
Howard M. Earle, C. H. McKubbin,
Alcssrs. Johnson and Breck. It was de-
cided to hold the convention next June

(he invitation was extended. A program
was outlined and routine matters dis-
posed of.

CELERY SEEDING PREMATURELY.

Some of our customers have com-
plained of their celery going to seed
prematurely. They do not say whether
it is the Self Blanching or the Giant
Pascal. We have been purchasing only
the best grade of French grown seed that
we could get. We are trying to find out
whether it is the fault of the seed
or the manner of growing that is
ut fault. Some of the market garden-
ers, when they find a celery seed that
suits them in the spring, buy of that
same stock for the next season, in
preference in taking chances on the
next crop of seed suiting them as well.
We would like to know whether you
would consider that the seed two or
three years old is more likely to go to
seed than that which is strictly fresh.
We are desirous of handling as good a
grade of seed as possible. We would
also like to know whether you consider
American grown or imported seed the
best, and who is the most reliable
grower of celery seed. We are well
pleased with the Eeview, and get much
of valno from its Seed Trade Depart-
iMont. 11. S. C.

in thf absence of definite informa-
tion as to the conditions under which
the celery crops referred to by our
correspondent were grown, we can only
reply to the queries in a general way.

If the natural growth of celery be-
comes retarded by adverse weather
condition.*, a tendency to run to seed
is shown by the plant as soon as a re-
newed growth begins. A fairly rapid
und continued growth is essential to
the well lieing of a celery crop; hence
a retard'il or checked growth throws
it off an<l rauses trouble. The hollow
^talk which often spoils celery is a
more common source of annoyance to
the growers at Chicago than the pre-
mature tendency to seed, and the best
'clery growers are of the opinion that
l>oth these annoyances are caused by
tlie same conditions. The Review has
'onsulted several of the most expe-
lienced growers of celery in this dis-
frict and has been unable to get from
•iny of them a positive statement that
'le is prepared to name a sure reason
for these drawbacks in celery growing.
•Some have advanced the theory that
too large a plant when set out at an

unfavorable time might be a cause of
premature running to seed; the major-
ity of them, however, hold to the opin-
ion that a dry spell after the plants
get a good start, causing a check in
growth, and a spell of wet weather
following, causing a renewal in growth,
is the main cause. The plants in the
interval having got beyond the stage
of producing the desired stalk, assume
the natural tendency of the species to
push on to the second or seeding stage.

larger than a small radish. The seed
was blamed for the trouble, but a
second planting of seed out of the
same bag behaved properly, thereby
demonstrating that the seed had noth-
ing to do with it.

A crop of celery grown under irri-
gation, it is thought by some of the
most experienced growers, would run
increased chances of going to seed pre-
maturely than a crop grown under ordi-
nary circumstances without irrigation.
There is some sound sense in this, inas-
much as too much water being allowed
to flow in after a carelessness had given

too little, the check to the growth
which undoubtedly causes the damage
would result. Experienced growers of
celery do not blame the seed when
their crop goes to seed prematurely, or
when, as is more common, it produces
a hollow-stalked crop. It has been
proved many times over that the seed
which made a good crop this year may
make a failure next year, and vice
versa.

As regards our correspondent's in-
quiry if seed two or more years old
would be more likely to go to seed
prematurely than new seed, we can
safely say noj the age of the seed will
make no difference providj^d it id' not
too old to germinate properly. In re-
gard to the inquiry as to foreign or
home grown seed, we may say that
there is no proof that French or any
other foreign grown seed is better than
the home grown. It all depends upon
how the seed was matured and the
purity of the stock it was grown from.
The best American celery growers pre-
fer American grown seed to that grown
in any other country. This applies to
the Self Blanching sorts as well as to
the others.

A grower who knows his business,
if he can secure seed properly matured
and of a good selection grown by his
next neighbor, will not hesitate to pay
a good price for it, and he will have
no fear but what it will be just as
safe as anything he could get from
abroad.

[If there are other seedsmen who
would like to have trade inquiries an-
swered in this department, we shall be
glad to have them submitted. — Ed.]

ORANGE, N. J.

Justaliation exercises were held on Jan-
uary 5 by the New Jersey Floricultural
Society, with Joseph A. Manda as master
of ceremonies. In the discussion of the
society's policy, for the ensuing year, it
was decided to continue the monthly com-
petitive displays, the details being left
to the executive committee. Six silver
cups were presented to the victors of last
year's shows. Flowers, Peter Duff and
William Read; orchids, A. W. Bodwell
and Edwin Thomas; plants, D. Kinds-
grab; vegetables, John Garvin. A spe-
cial loving cup was presented to the
retiring secretary, W. J. Bennett, to com-
memorate his recent marriage and as a
token of esteem, Tlirce new members
were elected and reports of secretary and
treasurer showed a prosperous condition.
February 2 was set for the installation
feast. Orchids were exhibited by Julius
Roehrs, a vase of seedling carnations by
George von Qualen, and sweet peas and
violets by Max Schneider. A. W. Bod-
well, J. B. Davis and Joseph A. Manda
were named as the essay and George
Smith, Malcolm MacEorie and H. Hilbig
as auditing committee. A demonstration
of Graefe 's patent flower stand was
made by Jos. A. Manda and was cer-
tificated. J. B. D.

The Market

The bottom has dropped out of the
business since the holidays. Of course
we look for something of a letup, but
this is a little more than we bargained
for. The store men report no demand,
so we all have to suffer. Shipping trade
is very quiet.

The best feature is that the supply is
not very heavy and there is no prospect
of a glut, especially with the weather we
are having. Koses are showing the effect
of too much forcing for the holiday rush,
■ also of the bad weather. They are weak-
stemmed and off color. Beauties are in
heavier supply and move slowly at re-
-lueed prices. Carnations are coming in
large quantities but the price has not
dropped very much as yet. Violets have,
perhaps, been hit the hardest. There has
been an oversupply of them ever since
New Year "s, and the price has been drop-
ping until you can buy about all you
want at 50 cents per hundred. Aspara-
iins and smilax are scarce. Harrisii
niies are coming in good quantities and
sell first-class.

Various Notes.

Saturday night will be the regular
meeting night of the Florists' Society,
which will be called to order promptly at
7:30. Our last meeting was well at-
tended and the members were very en-
thusiastic. AVe are going to get together
and give our society a push forward
along new lines and see what can be done
to advance business interests in this city.
A large attendance is expected, and it
will be well worth the while of all the
member? to make special efforts to be
nrpsent.

A visit to R. Witterstaetter 's plant
iiist nftor tho lioliday shows his stock to

be in fine shape. He reported a great
cut for the holidays and was well pleased
with the business, which was better than
last year by a goodly amount. Aristo-
crat being sold, Afterglow is now at the
head of the list. It is a fine flower, of a
beautiful shade of pink, somewhat lighter
than Aristocrat. Mr. Witterstaetter
also has a white variety which is a
dandy. In his seedling house he has
some 700 varieties from last year 's seeds.
Among the lot are many which look good
enough for another trial. Especially are
the reds and scarlets fine. Altogether
Mr. Witterstaetter 's chances for even
better things than he has accomplished in
tho past are very bright. C. J. Ohmer.

NORTHERN TEXAS.

Business is Good.

Business in this section has been the
best in the history of the trade in this
vicinity. A custom profitable to the craft
liere is the decorating of graves at the
Christmas season, and there was an im-
mense business done in that line. All
kinds of stock sold well. In Sherman,
H. O. Hannah & Son were fortunate
enough to have quite a quantity of mums
on hand, which readily brought $3.50 per
dozen. The trade in plant stuff was
lively, potted Romans and narcissi bring-
ing better prices than the cut blooms.
Geraniums, especially Bruanti, brought
from 40 cents to 60 cents each in 5-ineh
pots.

Various Notes.

A visit to the plant of .T. W. Goree, of
Whitewright, was a revelation. Mr.
Goree has only a small place, but has
done something that has puzzled many
older heads in the business here. I refer
to the successful growing of roFes. For
vears nearlv all the florists in this sec-

tion have been unsuccessful in growing
roses ; a large amount of time and money
have been given to that end; expert
northern growers have tried, only to fail.
Mr. Goree has solved the riddle, and is
growing some of the finest stiff-stemmed,
perfectly formed roses that will grade as
specials in any market in this country.
Mr. Goree has the disadvantage of being
in a small town, where there is very lit-
tle call for such stock. His greenhouse
is literally packed with the fairest speci-
men plants of begonias, Boston ferns.
Asparagus plumosus and Sprengeri.
Being a carpenter, he from the love of
flowers dropped into the business, begin-
ning what we hope will prove a very
profitable business.

Mr. Majors, with the Munson green-
house, of Denison, reports holiday busi-
ness as very satisfactory. Carnations
were his leading flowers, but his bulbous
stock sold very well. Mr. Majors has
some fine stock coming on and his green-
houses show careful attention.

J. S. Kerr, of Sherman, had the mon-
opoly on Christmas trees this year, and
his report is that this branch of the busi-
ness has been better this year than ever
before. Advance orders for nursery
stock are flattering for an increased
business the coming year. Narcissus.

Decatur, III. — M. Z. Kellogg, suc-
cessor to the Decatur Horticultural Co.,
says business was good in 1905 and pros-
pects are excellent. All good stock is
now selling well.

OsHKOSH, Wis. — Fugleberg & Flister
built three houses 18x50 and one 12x25
the past season and have them all well
stocked with roses and carnations, al-
though they were a little late in plant-
ing. They report good crops and good
demand this fall.

J' tmily, who recently sold out their
oieenhouse establishment at Marshall,
'y,o., have removed to Seattle, where it is
Uieir intention to again engage in the

PUBLIC TREE-PLANTING.

The planting of trees to beautify our
streets is now a matter under considera-
tion by municipal corporations and indi-
\iduals in many parts of California, and
tlie ideas suggested are many and at
wide variance in most instances. Whether
to plant evergreens or deciduous trees,
palms or grass plats is a serious con-
sideration when miles of streets are to
be beautified, and a few ideas might be
in order on the subject.

Our southern country lias planted
j)alm8 to a great extent, and for a strict-
ly California idea this appeals greatly
to our many eastern visitors. Palms do
equally well both in southern and cen-
tral California, and are very effective,
when large enough, to lend assistance to
our semi-tropical aspect. In our south-
ern country the native fan palm, Wash-
ingtonia robusta, has found great favor,
but in our more central situations the
•Japanese fan palm, Chamaerops excelsa,
has proven even more valuable, as it is
more suitable for a sidewalk tree, owing
to the fact that it does not spread to
such an extent as to impede the passage
of pedestrians. The hardy date palm,
Phoenix Canariensis, has also been used
quite extensively, but it is far reaching
and uutil it gets large enough to make
a trunk, which does not occur for quite
a number of years, it encroaches both
on the street and on the footpath.

in deciduous trees the Texas umbrella
does well in our warm interior valleys,
but toward the coast the cool winds do
not suit its growth and farther north
it is rarely planted. The eastern white
elm, Ulmus campestris, has been planted
largely for an avenue tree and gives con-
siderable satisfaction. It stands trim-
ming well and does not sucker as much
as the common cork bark elm, Ulmus
Americana, wliieh for the past few years
iias been sjiaringly jilanted.

Where a very effective tree is desired
'0 grace an avenue the white maple,
Acer dasycarpum, has been planted large-
ly and this, together with the Oregon
maple, Acer macrophyllum, seems to give
the greatest satisfaction. Both the
American and European lindens have
found much favor here, although they
are of slow growth. Poplars do not seem
to meet popular favor and are not much
in evidence in the plantings of the re-
<ent years. Birches are not suitable for
sidewalk trt'»^, owing to the fact that

when their lower branches are trimmed
off they lose their graceful appearance.
Dracaenas have been planted more ex-
tensively a few years ago than they are
at present, and the fact that they lose
their beautj- in a few seasons after plant-
ing has tended much toward discontinu-
ing their usage. In California they be-
gin to flower at about their tenth year,
and gradually afterwards they commence
to lose their healthy appearance and
rapidly become an eyesore. Eucalyptus

The Market.

Tlio wcatlier continues dry and frosty,
with plenty of sunshine. Business since
Cliristmas has been good, the ouly
trouble being scarcity of flowers. Carna-
tions, especially the white varieties, are
coming in very small lots. Koses are few
and far between and Beauties and fancy
Brides and Maids are in big demand.
Narcissi and daflfodils, on account of the
frosty weather, do not bloom much and
tiierc is nothing else outdoors at present
e.xce[tt violets. There are plenty of these
to go around. Mums are holding out
well, but they will soon be a thing of
the past. Maidenhair fern and aspara-
gus show the effects of the recent Christ-

with greens of all kinds.

Otto Katzenstein & Co., Atlanta,
Ga., li^ve been visited by fire, which de-
stroyed their offices and did considerable
damage to their stock of tree and shrub
seeds. The loss was covered by insur-
ance.

The Grand View Nursery Co. started
suit at Des Moines, la., against John F.
Johnson to enforce collection on an order
for nursery stock. Johnson set up in
his answer that his signature on the or-
der is a forgery, for which the agent,
one Ranstead, has been held to the Lucas
county grand jury under $1,000 bail.

The Western Fruit Jobbers' Associa-
tion, in session at Des Moines last week,
believes that it should receive the sup-
port of nurserymen, as well as fruit
growers, in its fight against the private
car lines. The argument is that if the
high charges were removed the increased
prosperity of the grower would be felt
by the nursery interests.

The New York State Fruit Growers'
Association held its annual convention
at Lockport, January 3 and 4, Most
of the nurserymen of western New York
were in attendance. Features of the
meeting were addresses by L. A. Good-
man and J. H. Hale, president and ex-
president of the American Pomological
Society. T. B. Wilson, of Hills Corners,
was re-elected president. The secretary
is E. C. Gillett, of Penu Yan.

J. A. Yager, of the Plumfield Nur-
series, Fremont, Neb., has sold his in-
terest to E. S. Welch, of Shenandoah,
la. Mr. Welch is a brother of G. L.
Welch, who has been a partner of Mr.
Yager for three years. G. L. Welch will
remain in charge of the business. Mr.
Yager established the Plumfield Nur-
series in 1894 and has laid the founda-
tion for a large and successful enter-
prise. He retires from it in order to
give his other interests closer attention.

EXTREMELY FREE AND HEALTHY. A NON-BURSTER. A fancy of the highest type.

varieties more extensively.

SWEET PEAS AND ASTERS.

We have a house planted with sweet
peas. The seed was sown last September.
They have not done very well. We will
hold on to them until Easter and after
that we want to put in a crop of asters
and would like to know what kind would
be the best and if they will be out of the
way in time to sow mignonette in the
same house. The house has solid beds
and we think it will be all right for the
mignonette, but would like to get some-
thing from the house this summer before
sowing the mignonette seed. A. & S.

Possibly you did not sow the right sort
of sweet peas to produce winter flowers.
If you sowed the old type of peas, such
as Emily Henderson or Blanche Ferry
and you have up to date cut no flowers,
it is not likely you will get anything like
a paying crop until early May and the
Easter harvest will be over. Zvolanek 'a
strain of sweet peas are the only ones we
could ever get into flower in the dark
midwinter months. We sowed at the end
of August and have been picking nice
flowers for a month past. When we grew
the old varieties and got no flowers till
the end of April we cut such a fine lot
during May and June that we considered
it paid. They had not taken up valuable
bench room and the flowers sold well and
in quantity. There are few sweet peas
picked outdoors in our locality before
July 1 and the indoor-grown flowers are
in brisk demand.

I should advise you to take care of
the peas and leave them in and not bother
with the asters. By the time the asters
were done would be late for mignonette.
The latter should be sown from the mid-
dle to the end of July. The solid bed
wijl suit your mignonette. Five or six
inches of soil on a raised bench will grow
mignonette, but it will not be equal in
strength or stoutness of spikes to that
grown on a solid bench. W. S.

ARISTOCRAT ANNOUNCEMENT

cs

E herewith confirm the reports, so far as our purchasing the aTbove carnation is
concerned. We intend to disseminate same January 1, 1907. We do not
think it necessary at this time to commence boasting of its good qualities
and commercial value that have been proven and will be proven again to your satis-
faction.

We are now soliciting orders for January delivery and while we do not make
a specialty of booking orders subject to cancellation, we believe that to cancel is
everyone's right, if a variety does not live up to its reputation and we respect it if
done right and honorably. Orders are already coming in heavily and we strongly
advise your placing yours immediately as January bookings will soon be closed.

Aristocrat is 0. K. and you will not be able to help yourself from buying
it later, so place order now as we shall not overbook ourselves on it, as we must
make good and that is one of our reasons for securing it.

Color — brighter than Lawson, a little brighter shade. Calyx does not burst.
Habit of growth, taller than Enchantress, more wiry and more free. Produces
cuttings freely which root easily. Has no disease of any description. Size, as large
as Enchantress but form more perfect than any other carnation.

ROOTED CUTTINGS, $12 per 100; $100 per 1000; 5,000, $450; I0,0:0 $800.

WASHINGTON.

State of Trade.

Tlic seasou of official entertaining
opening, as it did, with the New Year's
re('ej)tions, is keeping the decorators busy
and u large amount of fine stock is being
disposed of. A notable feature is the
great demand for Killarney roses for
dinner decorations. Eichmond and Lib-
erty are also in demand. In the selection
of flowers for the centerpiece of a dinner
decoration, within the week one leading
decorator has used Begonia Gloire de
Lorraine, another poinsettias, and still
another cut azaleas. Lilacs, lilies of the
valley and the fancy carnations, cacti
and all have their devotees. For green,
Adiantum Farleyense is very popular.
C;ut stock of this fern is now being
shipped here from Philadelphia, arriving
in excellent condition. There is consid-
erable demand for orchids and American
Beauty roses, the former for bouquets,
the latter for vase work. Violets, mig-
nonette and Paper White narcissi are in
good supply and of excellent quality.

The following are the prevailing retail
prices for first quality of leading stocks:
Orchids, cattleyas, .$1 and $1.25 per
flower;- cypripediums, $3 and $4 per
dozen. Koses, American Beauty, $15 per
dozen; Killarney, $4; Richmond and
Liberty, $3 to $5 ; Bride and Maid, $2.50
to $3.50. Carnations, Enchantress, Pros-
perity and Lady Bountiful, $1.50 and $2
per dozen; Lawson, Governor Eoosevelt
and Eed Sport, $1 to $1.50. Violets,
$3 per hundred. Mignonette, $1.50 per
dozen.

The Retailers.

The decorations at the first cabinet
dinner of the season, given by Secretary
of State and Mrs. Root, at which
President and Mrs. Eoosevelt were pres-
ent, was by J. H. Small &■ Sons. Begonia
Gloire de Lorraine with adiantum was
freely used.

George H. Cooke recently executed a
very handsome dinner decoration in which
Otaheite oranges was the leading
feature.

Representative Allen, of Maine, has
introduced a bill in the House which, if
it becomes law, will affect the florists.
The measure provides that all places of
business, except news stands, drug stores
and undertakers' shops shall be closed on
Sunday. Scotty.

Here is a remittance for fifty-two
more visits of our looked-for friend, the
Kevieav. — Jas. Brown, Jr., Coatesville,

Having a large and fine stock of this new rose^ are prepared to accept
contracts for delivery, Spring 1906. Correspondence solicited.

KANSAS QTY.

The Market.

Business for the new year has started
out with a rush. Society decorations
and an unusual amount of funeral work
have given the trade a very busy week.
Prices have dropped since the holidays,
but good stock is still bringing very
good prices. The supply is more plen-
tiful but none too heavy. Carnations
are quoted at $3 to $4 and the best
grade of roses bring $7 to $8 per hun-
dred wholesale. The prospects for the
coming year are very flattering.

Variotu Notes.

Miss R, A, Shiras has bought Chas,
A, Shaefifer's interest in the Kansas
City Floral Co, and is now sole owner.
Miss Shiras has a splendid trade and
is experienced in the business.

Arthur Newell had a large out-of-
town funeral order that kept him busy
all day Saturday.

Peterson & Co, have a very attract-
ive store at 4 W. Ninth street. They
have been in business about three
months and have worked up a fine
business.

The Alpha Floral Co. is enlarging its
store to accommodate the rapidly grow-
ing trade.

Earnest Grossoff, for four years at
the National Soldiers' Home at Leaven-
worth, has taken a position with the
Shaeffer Floral Co.

W. L. Hucke, of Belleville, 111., was
a visitor last week. Kay-See.

The Review surely gets there as an
advertising medium; when I sent you
an advertisement of Jeanne Nonin chrys-
anthemum stock plants, the orders began
coming even before the paper reached
me. — W. J. Olds, Union City, Pa.

MY MSRYLSNO

ANVOUir CEME N T

We, THE H. WEBER & SONS CO. of Oakland, Md.,

respectfully announce that The E. G. Hill Co. of Richmond. Ind., have
withdrawn from the contract made with us last spring, whereby they
would have jointly with us disseminated our new white carnation,
My Maryland.

The variety has been on trial at Rifhmond (3000 plants), Brooklyn
(300 plants), Philadelphia (lOOO plants) and Toronto (lOOO plants).
Reports from the first two named places characterize the variety as
being practically worthless, while from Toronto and Philadelphia favor-
able reports indicate that the variety is bearing out our claims for it.

Our own stock at Oakland is in elegant shape. An extremely wet

summer necessitated the holding of stock in a semi-dormant condition
after being housed, August 15 to September I, thus making stock
too late for the fall shows. Since December Ipt we have been cutting
grand blooms, and to prove our claims for the variety, we invite all
interested to come to Oakland and look it over.

While it is a source of regret to us that the variety has not proved
satisfactory in all places tried, we are satisfied chat it will prove our
claims for it in at least some places besides our own.

We therefore announce that we will disseminate My Maryland as
per our advertisements, but before shipping any stock we give to each
and every one the right to cancel all or any portion of their orders. .

JESSICA,

we believe, will succeed everywhere. It is even better than last year. As a red and
white variegated it has no competitors. Stock ready now.

Prices for botb varietie8-$2.50 per doz.; $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000.

Horticultural Society was held on De-
cember 28. The chief business was the
election of oflRcers. Jos. Mooney, Hast-
ings, N. Y., was elected president; E. W.
Neubrand, Tarrytown, secretary; J. T.
Laurie, Tarrytown, treasurer, and Jas.
Ballantyne, Tarrytown, corresponding
secretary. The secretary's report showed
that the society had 145 active members
in good standing, forty-two honorary and
five life members. The treasurer's re-
port showed a substantial balance in the
society's favor. Eleven new members
were elected at this meeting and four
names proposed.

The monthly prize donated by D. Mc-
Farlane for eighteen carnation blooms
was won by Abel Weeks. J. Feather-
stone, gardener to Samuel Untermyer,
showed a beautiful hanging basket of
Begonia Gloire de Lorraine, which was
declared by the members to be the best
plant of this popular begonia ever shown
in this section.

At the meeting of the executive com-
mittee, held on January 2, the date of
the annual dinner was fixed for January
17, to take place at the Florence hotel.
Tickets may be had from E. W. Neu-
brand, secretary. S.

CHRISTMAS PEPPERS.

Will you please tell me how to store
the Christmas peppers after they have
finished their season? K. C.

We never heard of peppers of any
kind being stored and they would be
very undesirable plants if you could.
Pick off a few fruits from the plants
having, the best habit and most prolific
crop of fruit and sow the seeds in April.
In raising these cheap berried plants,
the object is to obtain a moderate size
plant well berried. A large, sprawling
plant but well fruited would be the re-
verse of attractive, and, therefore, 1
don't at all agree with the gentleman
who says he propagates by cuttings. I
should think in a warm climate these
plants would continue to grow late into
fall and make unwieldy plants. There-
fore sow late and as soon as the plants
are well set with fruit lift and pot
them. W. S.

For LESS IVIOlME I than any competing articles.

JUST BEAR THIS IN MIND-For, when purchasing

''NICO-FUME" the florist obtains MUCH MORE NICOTINE For
his money than he secures from any competing preparations.

IN ADDITION* he obtains the following advantages:
"NICO-FUMIE" PAPER is stronger per square inch than any other; is packed in special
friction-top tins, preventing loss of strength bj' evaporation; is folded and punched ready for use;
is of a special size, furnishing the best distribution of vapor; is of uniform quality.
"NiCO-EUME" LIQUID contains NEVER LESS THAN 40 per cent NICOTINE—

The best formula for the general florist trade.
"NICO-FLME" LIQUID is BY FAR the CHEAPEST high-strength nicotine solution on the market.

TAUNTON, MASS.

Holiday trade easily broke all records.
Plants in bloom had the best call. Aza-
leas, Begonia Gloire de Lorraine, poin-
settias, primroses and cyclamens sold
out clean and many more could have
been disposed of.

In cut flowers, carnations were the
leaders, but there were not enough to
go around. People refused to pay over
75 cents per dozen for ordinary blooms
and $1 for fancies. Violets were in
strong demand at $2 per hundred. Eoses
made $1.50 to $3 per dozen, but did not
sell so well as other flowers. Some fine
poinsettias made $6 to $8 per dozen.
Weather for delivering plants was per-
fect, being above freezing about all the
weeic before Christmas.

Taunton Greenhouses sold over 3,000
carnations, 1,000 roses {.nd 3,500 violets,
besides other flowers, foi Christmas.

A Main street florist i dvertised car-
nations at 35 cents a dozen three days
before Christmas. This hac. no eflFect on
the sale of really good quality flowers.
Such cut prices most hurt the persons
making them. They cannot be too
strongly condemned.

Business since the holidays remains
good. Funeral work uses a good many
flowers, as well as balls and receptions.

of the same, mast be possessed with gooa judgment and are generally suc-

wooden gutters, which were only 5 years old, and replaced the same with 6000 feet of
the GARLAND IRON GUTTER, this being his fifth annnal order.

All the Responsibility Ours

IF WE SAY YOUR HOUSE WILL BE READY
ON TIME THIS SPRING, IT WILL BE READY

Every day of the year our factory is turning out one complete hoitse^ ranging from
$500 to $J00,000. This statement says two things: Wc build the right kind of houses;
we have the right sort of factory to turn out the right kind of house* Now suppose wc should
go into length on the merits of all the patented things that go into our houses, it would only
bring us right up against the question : "Who buys your houses }** What success have these
buyers ? All kinds of patented things might go .into them but what flowers come out^ that's
the hinging point I That's just the point we have to talk the least on, because the other
fellow — the grower — does that for us. • , i

if you want advice on success, you go to successful men. ^

They are the men you better asic about this greenhouse matter.

CARNATION OF THE FUTURE.

[A paper by Peter Fisher, of Ellis, Mass.,
president of the American Carnation Society,
'•ead before the Gardeners' and Florists' Club of
Boston, January 16, 1906.]

' ' The Carnation of the Future ' ' is the
subject assigned to me tonight. We think
of the past, with its attainments or fail-
ures. We live in the present, and see it
recede to the past like a scene in a ka-
leidoscope. The future is mythical and
hazy. No man knows what it has in
store for us; we can only guess, in a
measure. Looking backward for a mo-
ment and judging from what has been
and is being accomplished, we may form
a pardonable estimate of what will, or
may be, toward the development of the
* ' Carnation of the Future. ' '

To make any true progress we must al-
ways have an ideal to work up to, but
the ideal carnation is always just a lit-
tle in advance of us. We think to grasp
it and find something imperfect instead,
and as we look again, day-dreaming, we
again see our ideal ever ahead, in all its
beautiful and varied shades of color, per-
fection of form and luxurious growth.
This is well, for were perfection attain-
able here progress would cease. Imagine
if you can a type of carnations, in beau-
tiful and varied shades of popular colors,
so far in excess of the best of today in
point of size as to rival the American
Beauty rose, and sold at prices unheard
of; this is within the range of possi-
bility, we are steadily but surely coming
up to this standard.

In the near future, varieties of carna-
tions specially adapted for the purpose
will be grown in pans and meet with a
ready sale and increasing demand. Dwarf,
compact growing, free flowering varie-
ties will be the type, in varied shades of
color. Think how well-grown specimens
of a scarlet, for instance, would sell at
Christmas.

After another season of experience and
close observation, I am more than ever
convinced that the best carnations of the
future will be grown indoors exclusively,
much in the same manner as roses are
handled today. By this method of cul-
ture you will obtain a steady supply of
blooms, superior in every way to field-
grown plants. But the houses in which
the plants are grown should run north
and south and not east and west, as dur-
ing the hot summer months there is a
decided advantage in a north and south
as a growing house during summer — and
with this thorough root action the differ-
ence in number of blooms obtained will
scarcely be perceptible, with a decided
advantage in quality in favor of the
north and south house during hot spring
days.

Benches will be best for this method
and those with tile bottoms preferable,
as they will be beneficial in retaining
moisture and keeping the roots cool. Not
less than five inches of soil should be
used, as shallow benches require too
much watering during hot days, which
tends to sour the soil.

A large, wide, span-roofed structure
with continuous ventilation on each side

of the ridge, and at the sides, will be the
type of greenhouse best suited for this
purpose. The dissemination of the carna-
tion of the future will be along differ-
ent lines from that of the past or present.
A strict record of its merits and faults
will bo kept in tabulated form, at least
two years prior to distribution, stating
how many blooms it will produce per
square foot of bench space, how many
plants to the square foot, date when cut-
ting of blooms commenced, when plants
were thrown out, and number of salable
or split blooms picked from a given bench
space each day. These records will be
kept for inspection at any time. A
synopsis of this report will be added
along with the advertisement of the cut-
tings, and placed on the exhibition tables
when new varieties are shown, and the
confidence of the trade will be restored.
Then, as our successors in business look
up the records of our past and present
methods they will draw the cloak of
charity over the past. But the blush of
shame will tint the cheeks of some, as
they reflect on the shady methods, it may
be, of a parent who has passed beyond.

SELLING DOLLAR CARNATIONS

In a Thirty-cent Town.

In response to the inquiry by F. A. F.
in the issue of January 4, the writer
having accomplished the very feat of
selling dollar carnations in a thirty-cent
town is prompted to give his views and
relate a few experiences.

There always exist in every town cer-
tain conditions which create au atmos-
pliere of which the inhabitants partake,
the tradesmen, including the florists,
being no exception. In a thirty-cent
town, so-called, the fact is the people
never saw up-to-date, well-grown carna-
tions, or, if they did, the superior qual-
ities of such were not put before them
in a way to leave a lasting impression.
This was the state of affairs in the city
where my operations began; a city noted
for its wealth, beautiful homes and cel-
ebrated men, also widely known as pay-
ing the highest price for meat of any
city in the Union.

Several years ago, while enroute from
Kansas City to Chicago, the late P. D.
Armour told the writer that this city
demanded the choicest cuts of beef and
consequently had it furnished them at
corresponding prices. Here was the at-
mosphere, or perhaps taste, which must
be gratified, and why should not well-
grown carnations come in for a share in
gracing the table and lending their aid
in the enjoyment of a tempting steak or
jirime roast at 38 cents per pound?

It would, perhaps, have been much
easier or taken less time to bring about
the desired result if the co-operation of
old established growers and retailers
could have been secured, but this being
impossible, the only course was to go it
alone.

Now F. A. F. must make up his mind
to several things; viz., that to sell dol-
lar carnations in any town, requires him
to have them to offer; that although

they may be worth that price there will
be those who disagree with him and will
so express themselves; that in view of
this notwithstanding, he must not hold
in earnest Avhat Emerson says in satire,
"Difference from me is the measure of
absurdity"; that to gain the confidence
of flower buyers and create the lasting
impression before alluded to, it is ab-
solutely necessary that his product can
always be depended upon to possess
more than ordinary lasting qualities.
Once let your flowers become a subject
of general conversation at a luncheon
or similar occasion — and they will be
sure to if above the average — then it
may be said that you have just begun
to make yourself felt.

The host is pleased with the success
of his decoration; the guests make men-
tal note of your name and address and
will lose no time in visiting your place.

Here is a chance to produce a lasting
impression. A look through the houses
should prove beyond doubt that you have
the goods and by your manner and con-
versation it will be judged whether or
not you are capable and trustworthy.

It goes without saying that a spirit of
tidiness should pervade the whole es-
tablishment, for nothing appeals to
flower buyers more than an air of neat- i
ness.

Keep a few choice blooms of each
variety on hand at all times that new-
comers may be given at least one. These
need not be long stemmed but must be
freshly cut and in water several hours
before used.

One of these visitors may wish to
leave an order for future delivery to her
home or that of a friend: Promise to
do no more than you are sure you can
accomplish but when you fill the order,
endeavor to do a little better than you
promised. This is one example only, of
how the start is made in the forging of
the links in an endless chain.

Similar opportunities will present
themselves whereby the links increase in
number, the chain grows longer, the
circle nears completion, until at last you
find yourself encompassed on all sides
by eager buyers, mostly and preferably
members of the fair sex.

Now this is no dream but the result
of a strenuous life covering a period of
perhaps two years or more during which
there has come about a gradual change
of conditions and in reality, while you
succeed in selling dollar carnations, the
people no longer breath a thirty-cent at-
mosphere.

Just a word in conclusion as to re-
sults in the city before mentioned: In-
stead of carnations being sold at the
uniform price of 25 cents per dozen,
they now range from 50 cents to $2.50.
While the start was made alone other
growers contracted the fever as the de-
mand' for first-class goods increased.
Ladies who formerly hesitated to order
flowers by telephone, even for use at
their own homes, now go so far as to
keep on hand at the florist's, a stock of
their visiting cards to be enclosed with
telephonic orders for flowers they wish
sent to friends. Geo. S. Osborn.

McKINLEY MEMORIAL.

The committee on McKinley Memorial
for the American Carnation Society and
S. A. F. & O. H. calls the attention
of all florists in the United States to the
nearness of the anniversary of our late
president's birthday, January 29, 1906,
-McKinley day, when millions of our citi-

zens will wear carnations as a silent
tribute to his memory. The committee
has prepared a, suitable display placard
with a splendid likeness of President Mc-
Kinley, announcing this anniversary, and
showing the action of the florists in the
building of the national McB[inley
Memorial at Canton, Ohio, the late presi-
dent's home. This display card cannot
fail to remind many people of this cus-
tom, who otherwise might overlook the
date. Upon receipt of any contribution
of $1 or more to this fund, or a pledge
to contribute ten per cent or upward of
the carnation sales on January 29, 1906,
the committee will mail to the contributor
this display placard.

H. M. Altick, Chairman,
Dayton, Ohio.

IN A COOL HOUSE.

Would you kindly tell us what varieties
of carnations would grow in a lettuce
house with Grand Eapids lettuce? The
temperature ranges from 46 to 50 de-
grees. We would like to know of sev-
eral varieties. H. & F.

What you will have to look for mostly
are varieties that wUl not burst in a low
temperature. No variety will grow and
bloom very rapidly in a temperature
much below 50 degrees, though some of
course will do better than others. The
following varieties will do as well as
a,ny: Vesper, Lady Bountiful, Moon-
light, The Queen for white; Enchantress,
light pink; Mrs. Nelson, pink; Crane,
red; Harlowarden, crimson; Mrs. Patten,
variegated. A. F. J. Baue.

DOING WELL.

Under date of January 6 J. H. Dunlop,
Toronto, Ont., writes as follows: "My
Maryland, on trial here, is proving itself
a free bloomer and makes a fine flower;
the only trouble with it that has devel-
oped here is a slight inclination to stem-
rot. Jessica is magnificent, pure white
ground with red stripe; very striking;
strong grower; good stem; it is the best
of the fancies." These are the novelties
of H. Weber & Sons Co., Oakland, Md.

BACTERIA.

I enclose some Flora Hill carnation
leaves. They are grown on a west side
bench with about thirty inches of head
room, planted up in August. • They
seemed to start off all right. I have
fed them liquid twice, with a top-dress-
ing of sheep manure about December 7.
Can you tell the trouble with them?
Night temperature 50 to 55 degrees.
D. A. L.

Your carnations are affected with bac-
teria and you are pursuing just the
wrong course to get rid of it. Flora
Hill is especially subject to this disease
and invariably shows traces of it during
the winter months. By handling it just
right it can be kept in check, so that it
will not do much damage. They want
to be watered rather sparingly and no
feeding should be done between October
and March, neither mulch nor liquid. If
the soil is good to start with and a light
mulch applied about September 1, they
will thrive until the sun is stronger and
the days are longer, toward spring, when
they will want a little more food to
make the spring crop. So, I would ad-
vise you to take off that sheep manure
and sprinkle on the soil some air-slaked

lime, about a scant 3-inch potful to a
row across a 5-foot bench, and water it
in well. After that keep them a little
on the dry side. Keep the temperature
as near 52 degrees as you can and give
all the air you can. A. F. J. Baue.

CARNATION MEASURES.

Last season Kroeschell Bros. Co., 51
Erie street, Chicago, sent out to the trade
a very neat device for measuring the size
of carnation blooms. It consists of a
circular cardboard with an opening to
admit the calyx of the flower, its siz"
being indicated by circles a half-inch
apart on the card. It is a very handy
device and the distributers write us that
they have a number still on hand and
will gladly send one to anyone who sends
a two-cent stamp to pay the postage.

CARNATION CANDACE.

The writer of this made three trips to
Indianapolis last winter to personally
inspect and note the behavior of the
above carnation; also visited the intro-
ducers twice this winter, in November
and January, to see what progress it was
making, and the more I see of this new
flower the more firmly I am convinced
that it is a winner. It has many points
that recommend it to the average florist.
It is an easy grower, a free, continuous
bloomer, bright, cheerful and clear pink,
a trifle lighter and brighter than Law-
son; has good, long stems and the shape
of the bloom is ideal. It will readily be
classed as a fancy as it has splendid
size, shape and color. It is a rare oc-
currence to find a split calyx among
them. The stem is stiffer than Flora Hill
but not quite so strong as Lawson or
Enchantress, although with the writer,
who has fifteen plants for trial, the stem
is stiff and wiry. The best evidence of
the merits of this new carnation is that
nearly every florist who sees this variety

growing leaves an order and I am in-
formed that nearly every carnation
grower in and around Indianapolis has
placed an order. If this new variety
does as well throughout the country as it
^oes in Indiana I am satisfied the results
will be most gratifying to the grower,
I have no personal interest in this new
flower whatever, but pen these few notes
for the benefit of the trade.

The Boston Convention.

The paper on * * Carnations from a
Wholesaler's Point of View" will be
given us by A. J. Guttman, New York.

The New England Passenger Associa-
tion has granted the rate of a fare and
one-third for the meeting over all of
their lines excepting the Eastern Steam-
ship Company.

Your secretary has made application
at the same time to the Trunk Line As-
sociation and the Central Passenger
Association for the same rate and it
will no doubt be granted. Parties com-
ing to the convention should give them-
selves plenty of time to buy their
tickets and get the usual certificate from
the ticket agent at their home office
entitling them to the reduced fare.

There will be more flowers staged in
Boston, January 24, than have ever been
staged at one time and place in the
world and every carnation man who
can should attend this meeting,

POTTING YOUNG STOCK.

Where the cuttings in the bench show
rootlets one-half inch in length they
should be potted without further delay.
Procrastination at this stage wiU lead
to a lot of trouble which will require
months to overcome. As the sand con-
tains, or should contain, no nutritive
properties, any wood the young plants
may make, while in the sand must neces-
sarily be of a weak nature and low in
vitality. The roots become attenuated,
unmanageable and because of their
length and brittleness are liable to be

broken and so lost to the plant just when
it requires their services to give it a
good start in life.

Soil suitable for a first potting should
contain very little manure or other fer-
tilizer, as this is liable to sicken the
tender roots before they have become
accustomed to actual feeding. Compost
left over from last season's planting and
which has been carefully looked after
and kept clear of weeds during summer
and fall is about the ideal article. This
should be passed through a half-inch
screen to fit it for the requirements of
the newly made roots.

For a first potting 2-inch standard
pots are large enough and fit the purpose
better than larger sizes. Having the
pots of a uniform size, shape and color
simplifies the act of watering, as each
pot contains an equal quantity of soil

jind will be more likely to retain the
moisture for an equal length of time
than if they are a mixed lot. The nearer
we approach to uniformity of moisture,
so much better are our chances of suc-
cess.

To give the young plants a fair start
a good deal of intelligent care is neces-
sary at potting time, both in selecting
the best, rejecting weak and poorly
rooted stock and in the method of pot-
ting. The roots in each pot should be
placed about one-third down from the
rim and the soil packed firmly and even-
ly around the roots, leaving ample room
for watering.

Water as soon after potting as possi-
ble and be sure that the whole ball is
equally moist. Do not allow the plants
to stand around in the potting shed,
where there is always more or less
draught, longer than necessary.

Select a bench where the plants will
have plenty of ventilation and a full
exposure to the sun and place the pots
on ashes or some other suitable material
to maintain a good drainage. The tem-
perature of the house should be 56 de-
grees at night, with a day temperature
varying from 60 to 80 degrees, accord-
ing to intensity of sunshine. Shade for
a few days after potting if the weather
is bright. In four or five days root
action will have commenced, when shad-
ing should be entirely abandoned.

During bright weather the young stock
should be carefully tended as regards
watering, syringing and ventilation, as
on the care and skill bestowed on them
at this period depends a good deal of
the hardiness, healthfulness and consti-
tution of the future plant. Bibes.

KILLARNEY ROSE.

It is quite a number of years since Kil-
larney was first introduced, but it is
only this season coming into its own.
It was offered in a limited way in the
New York market last season and was a
most acceptable novelty. Two firms in
the west took it up and both are excel-
lently pleased. Weiland & Eisch, Chi-
cago, say that it is without exception
the most profitable rose they have ever
grown, because of its productiveness
more than because of the fact that it
commands a novelty's premium. They
are growing both grafted and own-root
plants this season, but their stock for
next year will all be on its own roots, as
they find that the own-root stock makes
a larger proportion of ground breaks,
which give long-stemmed fancy flowers.
The length of the bud is something re-
markable. They have cut many flowers
which when opened make a spread of
five inches in diameter. Weiland & Risch
like the variety so well that they are
building a large new range of glass at
Evanston to be devoted to Killarney next
season.

DUTY ON ROSE CUTTINGS.

In two recent cases collectors of cus-
toms have assessed duty on rooted rose
cuttings at 2^/^ cents each, but in both
cases the Board of General Appraisers
has, on appeal, sustained the protest and
assessed duty at twenty-five per cent ad
valorem, following the precedent estab-
lished by G. A. 5645, which was a pro-
test raised by the South Park Floral Co.,
of New Castle, Ind., at duty assessed
at 2% cents each on a shipment of cut-
tings from Canada.

The latest protests were by the Cleve-
land Landscape Co. and the American
Express Co. The assessment was made

under the provision for "rose plants,
budded, grafted or grown on their own
roots." The importers claimed that the
cuttings should have been assessed at
twenty-five per cent ad valorem under
the last subdivision of the same para-
graph. The decision states, in sustain-
ing the protest of the importers, that the
board is following its decision in the
case of the American Express Co., G. A.
5645. It says:

"In the case cited the board held that
I cuttings of this character were not rose
I plants within the meaning of the para-
I graph, but were dutiable at the rate
claimed as -'cuttings of plants, com-
monly known as nursery or greenhouse
i stock ; ' construing the language of the
last part of paragraph 252 as though
the expression 'stocks, cuttings and
, seedlings,' by which it is introduced,
I qualified all the following matter."

Azaleas.

We notice that azaleas that are in any
temperature over 40 degrees have started
making a growth from the base of the
buds and that means that they should
be stood over, given more space, and this
growth rubbed off. If they are allowed
to run on and make strong growth the
flower bud will perish and at Easter
instead of flower you will only have a
green bush. Rub off this leaf growth
and keep your plants very cool.

Roses in Pots.

It is time now to bring in all kinds
of roses intended for Easter. We have
hybrid perpetuals that were potted in
November and have since been covered
with three or four inches of soil. The
canes are as fresh as when dug and the
eyes full and plump. There is no par-
ticular hurry about pruning these for a
few days, but it should be done before
the eyes break. There is no arbitrary
rule for pruning, for each plant will
vary. If you cut the canes so that a
foot in height is left you would have an
unsightly plant, even if it did flower
well, and if you cut down too low the
eyes that started may be blind. As near
as you can lay down any rule would
be to leave, say, three good eyes on
fairly strong stems and on extra strong
stems you can leave four eyes.

Ramblers that were grown in pots last
summer will want no pruning of any
kind and will be sure to break from bot-
tom to top. The only drawback to this
style of growing these attractive plants
is that by flowering time the soil is ex-
hausted and they are not as vigorous iu
either flov/er or foliage as those lifted in
the fall. This can be helped very con-
siderably by taking off an inch or a
little more of the surface and filling up
the space with cow manure that is not
at all decayed. To speak plainly, let it
be fresh, but do not do this now. Wait
a couple of weeks, when they will be
breaking into growth and young working
roots will have started; then they will
appreciate the stimulant. For the first
two or three weeks in the greenhouse
you do not Avant to give these dormant
plants over 45 degrees at night.

Ramblers Lifted in FalL

After trying for years and regularly
failing to lift any of the Ramblers from
the field in November and force the fol-
lowing spring, we seem at last to have
struck it. You could reasonably say
"hold on, you are not out of the woods
yet, ' ' but we can see the light through

the vista of green and feel certain that
at last we have found the correct method
of producing as fine plants of this kind
as the very successful W. K. Harris and
Robert Craig, of Philadelphia, and I
am egotist enough to think that possibly
there may be a point for them to ponder
over. It is not a seasonable hint, but
I may not be here next November, so
with the editor's sanction I will briefly
relate the modus operandi (it's seldom I
indulge in Arabic).

The Rambler roses were lifted about
November 10 and potted into 7-inch pots.
Size of pots or quality of soil has noth-
ing to do with the method. Those are
questions which would only affect de-
gree of quality. Directly they were
potted and watered they were laid down
and covered with four inches of soil.
On January 7 they were brought into a
house and again laid on their sides and
covered with a few inches of damp
straw. This was done to exclude light
and heat. At this date, fourteen days
from bringing them in, they are break-
ing from the tip of the growth to the
pot and are bound to be a great success.

Now there are just two sections of
this performance contributing to suc-
cess; viz., first the covering them with
soil when first potted and lastly cover-
ing them with wet straw for the first two
weeks in the greenhouse, because if fully
exposed to the light and heat, and we
had happened to have a mild, bright day
with which we have frequently been
blessed of late, it might have shriveled
up the wood of the rootless plants. I
say rootless because from time of lifting
until they break out in leaf there are
no active feeding roots.

If these Ramblers turn out as we
confidently expect they will, there will
be no more summer pot growing for us.
All you do not want to forget is to plant
out a few hundred one-year-old plants in
the field every April or May, so that
you have a strong plant for lifting in
the fall.

We have often alluded to the excel-
lence of American Beauty as a pot
plant. There is none to equal it in our
experience. Contrary to previous prac-
tice this fall, when lifting from the
bench, they were put outside and cov-
ered with earth and it seems to have
worked well. They want starting now
and pruning about as the hybrid per-
petuals, leaving three or four good eyes
to a stem.

Hydrangeas.

Some skillful growers cultivate hydran-

geas in pots and many plant them out
in the spring and lift them in the fall.
It is time to start 'them growing in any
case. Those lifted in October will have
been rooting in a cool cellar, or perhaps
a cold frame, where a few degrees of
frost may have reached them. The wood
should be ripe, the terminal buds full,
plump and large; if not, it is little use
to force them. The hydrangea is not in
great demand in every city, yet it is a
wonderfully showy plant. It is almost
everywhere a disappointment as a house
plant for the sole reason that it does
not get enough water. It is the most
thirsty among our cultivated plants. We
Lave known several men with an equal
capacity for absorption, but no plants.

Forcing Lilacs.

The lilac is a favorite flower and very
useful, especially in funeral work. There
is no diflSculty in bringing it into flower.
Now, here is a plant that we truly
force. It is deciduous and dormant, yet
we can put it at once, without any prepa-
ration, into a temperature of 70 degrees
and force out the flower. AVith the rose
we have to produce foliage and a good
stem or it will not be crowned with a
bud. The lilac has had its flower stored
up for many months, awaiting the re-
turn of spring, and all we do is to an-
ticipate spring by artificial heat. If
you do not have u house that you can
keep at 70 degrees, we have had good
success by placing them along the edge
of the path where the escaping heat
from the pipe was constantly surround-
ing them. William Scott.

NOTES FROM ENGLAND.

The varieties of American carnations
are slowly gaining ground in the esteem
of the English growers for market. This
slowness to gain popularity ean prob-
ably be attributed in a very great meas-
ure to the difficulty a would-be grower
experiences in obtaining plants to make
a start with, and in fact getting to know
anything at all about the American car-
nation. The ordinary run of grower
here just knows that carnations are par-
ticularly popular in America and he sees
a few fine blooms in the large whole-
sale markets, where they generally real-
ize some high figures. The one or two
growers who have a stock in England
have whole houses devoted to their cul-
ture as in America, and appear to be
continually increasing their amount of
culture under glass. One grower in par-
ticular has three or four fine houses.
The plants are not grown in pots, but
are planted out in large beds running
the whole length of the houses and have
a very healthy and vigorous appearance.
Instead of using supports in the form of
wire or wood stakes, the stems are sup-
ported by strings threaded from side to
side and from end to end of the beds,
thus forming a sort of netting with a
mesh of about three inches square, and
in this mesh the bloom stems are sup-
ported. The grower informed the writer
that it was his intention to considerably
increase his stock.

There is a movement on foot to estab-
lish an annual show or exhibition for the
horticultural trade on a large scale, to
be held in London and to be something
equivalent to the horticultural trade to
what the annual Smithfield cattle show-
is to the agricultural trade. It is to be
called "The Garden Fair," and the
trade is being invited to engage stands
for trade exhibits. If anything is

wanted to make it a success it will be
the lack of public interest at the turn-
stiles in the shape of a sufficiently large
taking at the entrance. Horticultural
shows in England are usually poorly pat-
ronized by the general public unless there
is added some other attraction. J. B.

ILLINOIS FLORISTS.

There was a meeting of the Illinois
State Florists' Association at Handel
hall, Chicago, on Thursday, January 11,
James Hartshorne, of Joliet, presiding.
The new state charter was presented and
it was voted to go ahead with organiza-
tion under it and put the association on
a permanent basis. An invitation from
the florists of Peoria was read asking
for the honor of entertaining the asso-
ciation at its first annual convention. On
motion of W. N. Kudd the invitation was
accepted, the date of the convention set
for the last week in February and the
chairman directed to appoint a commit-
tee of five whose duty it shall be to
prepare a program for the meeting, fix
the date and issue a call which shall se-
cure the attendance of every prominent
florist in the state.

The Illinois State Florists ' Association
was organized a year ago, at the time
it was hoped to secure an appropriation
from the state legislature for the erec-
tion of a range of glass at the State Ex-
periment Station at Urbana for the study
of plant diseases. A committee was sent
to Springfield and received considerable
encouragement, but the appropriation was
finally refused. It is hoped to have bet-
ter success by making an earlier start
this time and it is also hoped to accom-
plish good in many other directions.

WASHINGTON FLORISTS' CLUB.

At the last meeting of the Washington
Florists' Club the following rules were
adopted for the judging of flowers and
plants.

1. The committee of awards shall consist of
five members who shall be elected by the club
lit Its annual meeting, to serve for one Tear.
If at anj' meeting of the club (flowers or plants

club's ccrtiflcato it will be necessary that a
growing plant accompany the cut flower exhibit
in the case of carnations and roses, and that
roses and carnations be exhibited at three dif-
ferent periods of the season; It will only be
necessary to show a growing plant at one ex-
hibition.

way the committee may recommend shall con-
form to the rules laid down by them for their
guidance as herein stated.

4. The highest award for flowers or plants
shall be the club's silver medal; first-class
certificate, second and third, in the order named.

MILLEPEDES.

We have a Piersoni fern that we
transplanted in a large iron vase last
summer. In the fall it was taken into
a living room and with the temperature
about 75 degrees it was doing finely.
It has become quite large, measuring
about four or four and one-half feet in
diameter, and some of the fronds close
to three feet. We have noticed within
the past few days a peculiar worm on
the centipede order lying on top of the
ground in bunches, curled up and when
disturbed they move at a rapid rate.
Will these worms harm it? Is there any-
thing we could do to get rid of them
without injury to the plant? We picked
at least 100 from the top of the soil
today and if there are as many in pro-
portion under the surface there must be
thousands. G. M.

The worms that have appeared on the
surface of the soil in the manner de-
scribed are millepedes, or thousand-legs,
this insect laying its eggs in the soil, and
are not likely to do any serious injury
to the fern in question. Entomologists
state that the millepedes live upon ''e-
cayed vegetable matter, they also have
been found eating tender young growths
of some plants, and are certainly of no
benefit to the fern. If a large sheet of
paper were spread upon the floor, and
the plant laid over on its side and jarred
by a series of light blows, most of the
insects would drop off onto the paper
and could then readily be disposed of.

DARLINGTON ON CALIFORNL^.

[A paper by E. B. Darlington, trial ground
superintendent for W. Atlee Burpee & Co., read
before the Florists' Club of Philadelphia, Jan-
uary 2, 1906.]

In complying with the request of cer-
tain members of your club, that I should
give you a short talk on a trip which I
had occasion to make to California the
past fall, in the interests of the seed firm
with which I have the honor of being
connected, I would state that the period
of this visit was the latter part of Sep-
tember and the early part of October,
at which time nearly all the harvests had
been gathered and the growers were
awaiting the advent of the winter rains
to commence plowing and planting the
crops for the ensuing year.

A Dry Season.

In the section visited, which comprised
the coast-line from San Francisco to Los
Angeles and the higher land in the
vicinity of Sacramento, there had been
no rain since the previous spring; the
hills and mountains were gray and bare,
excepting for the small brush and oc-

casional carpet of dried burr clover,
while over the trees and roadside weeds
was a thick coating of finely powdered
dust. Excepting on occasional small
lawns and parks which were kept fre-
quently watered, nature had completed
her work for the season and was enjoy-
ing a period of rest before starting in
to produce another crop. But the
climate was fully in evidence everywhere
and its possibilities were a source of con-
tinual wonder to the gardener from the
east and impressed itself on one at every
hand, not only to see the growth of
palms and greenhouse plants in the open
air, but also in the changed appearance
of our own familiar crops of fruits. The
real estate boomers and people of the
towns hold forth on the subject of
climate with the greatest enthusiasm,
but the gardeners and seedsmen whom I
had the pleasure of meeting passed over
all this as a matter of course and con-
fined themselves to showing their various
crops and the natural points of interest
in their immediate vicinity and all were
true gardeners in extending the hand of
fellowship and hospitality.

Cut Flower Stores.

My time was extremely limited and
was so fully occupied in visiting the
ranches of the seed growers that I did
not visit any distinctively florists ' places,
nor did I notice any such on the out-
skirts of the cities, but they must have
a number of such places, as the flower
stores in the cities evidenced. These
stores were quite in the eastern style,
though not nearly as numerous. At the
time of my visit the flower stores in Los
Angeles and San Francisco had good
displays of chrysanthemums, which at
that time were selling for $2..50 per dozen
at wholesale in San Francisco, but aside
from the chrysanthemums, the flowers
displayed were not as fine as the prod-

ucts of the greenhouses in our own
city. JS^o doubt this is largely due to the
lack of a demand for fine flowers at that
time, as it was between seasons, as there
should be no difficulty in producing as
fine roses and finer carnations than we
have if there should be a sufficient de-
mand for them. The only drawback is
the high cost of coal, but this could
probably be obviated by the use of oil^
wliich is almost exclusively burned for
the production of power.

Santa Clara Valley.

Leaving San Francisco the morning
after my arrival, my first stop was in
the famed Santa Clara valley, a tract
of level land from three to ten miles
wide lying between two ranges of brown
hills. The soil is black and heavy, much
of it in the central portion being adobe,
or dried swamp land, divided by large
open drainage ditches, while the higher
portions were of a lighter color and
texture. The soil is free from stones
and consists of loam or earth which has
washed down from the hills through
countless ages. The higher, lighter-
colored ground had much the appearance
of our own soils, but in the lower ground
the black adobe has the appearance of
the muck found in the bottom of an
old pond, in the dry season this black
earth becomes extremely hard and large
cracks radiate over the surface in every
direction. Even where it is kept con-
stantly cultivated, the small particles of
soil resemble gravel in their hardness.

Such flowers as late crops of sweet
peas, asters, etc., as well as beds of
young celery, carrots and endives were
growing vigorously under the influence
of irrigation and did not seem to mind
either the hardness of the soil or the
intense heat which prevailed during the
middle of the day. Hoeing to keep the
surface soil loose and fine is unknown

in California, and probably impossible
in the adobe lands. It was a strange
sight for eastern eyes to see men walk-
ing between the tows of plants with the
hoe held high in the air to descend with
a vigorous chop at any weeds which
might appear.

The fruit orchards, on the other hand,
have the surface of the soil constantly
cultivated and are as clean and free
from weeds as a model garden, but the
eastern eye misses and longs for the
fresh green backgrounds which should
relieve the cultivated lands, and its en-
tire absence, at least at that season of
the year, continually reminds you that
you are in a strange land. The leaves of
the fruit trees are a rich deep green, as
well as the foliage of the growing crops,
but serve only to accentuate the dusty
brown or gray tints of the surrounding
landscape. Even wnere there is a bright
green lawn, it has the appearance of a
small flower bed in the midst of the bare
brown earth surrounding it . on every
side.

No Ornamental Planting.

Nearly all planting in California is
done on a large scale and is quite
distinctly localized. Thus in the Santa
Clara valley, we find the ranches of the
principal seed growers within a few
miles of each other, and fairly extensive
apple orchards, with miles and miles of
prunes and thousands of acres of sugar
beets. Every crop is grown for the cash
it will bring, and outside of the large
tourist hotels and some few private
places in the towns, ornamental plant-
ings or surroundings are things of the
future. This seems strange to a gar-
dener or florist, as practically all of our
decorative palms and plants can be
grown in the open air, but it is doubtless
due to the necessity of irrigating, or
constant watering of the plants and
grass required during the dry seasons
and it costs about $20 to $25 for the
water necessary to keep a small town
lawn fresh and green during the summer
and fall.

Although very nearly all of the level
valley lands are now under cultivation,
there still remain occasional groups or
clumps of live-oak trees, and these, with
their mossy, gnarled trunks and branches
and the bright green, holly-like leaves,
are the most attractive features of the
valleys, but as the grazing ranches are
divided and broken to the plow they are
being cut out and made into firewood
and there seems to be no attempt what-
ever to make new plantings of this beau-
tiful and locally characteristic tree. I
shall always remember the live-oaks, not
only for their interesting growth, but
also for the grateful shade they fur-
nished during the heat of the day, as the
moment you step under the branches of
the live-oak you feel a coolness similar
to that when going into the florists' ice-
box, while with all other trees the
foliage simply affords relief from the
strong sunlight without any feeling of
coolness in the air. During my stay in
the Santa Clara valley the thermometer
would go to 108 to 110 degrees during
the middle of the day. The air was
clear and perfectly dry, so that no one
perspires, but the heat is felt in a burn-
ing or prickling sensation on any ex-
posed portion of your body. Nearly all
the time there was a fresh breeze blow-
ing in between the hills from the Pacific
and from four o'clock in the afternoon
until ten in the morning, the air was
cool and pleasant and at night sleep

was most refreshing, unless the Califor-
nia flea was present to take a hand in
welcoming you to the country.

tunity open to the park superintendent
at this time is an exceedingly tempting
one, because of the large amount of new
work which is to be done by this ad-
ministration. The salary is $2,500 a

The Second Oop.

In preparing for replanting after the
crop has been cut, it is well to see that
the surface of the soil is thoroughly
cleaned of all decaying vegetable mat-
ter. Usually when lettuce is cut a few
of the smaller under leaves are left and
these are often more or less tainted
with de^ay. The careless operator will
often turn them down into the soil in
forking it over, in place of spending a
short time in clearing them off before
beginning the forking process. From
just such carelessness fungus germs are
propagated, which prove a source of con-
siderable trouble in the crop that fol-
lows. The old lettuce roots should also
be picked out in forking over, so as to
leave nothing in the soil that will de-
cay.

To keep up the fertility of the soil
it will be necessary to add some fertiliz-
ing ingredients before planting each of
the crops. Just what to add will depend
a good deal on the nature of the soil,
but as a rule the use of commercial fer-
tilizers is not advisable; the best is the
old stand-by from the barnyard, in a
well decomposed condition. This, thor-
oughly worked into the soil, is the best
general fertilizer we have, especially for
crops of this nature, which need some-
thing they can take hold of right away
and in which the plant food is easily
available. The so called commercial fer-
tilizers are too violent in action to suit
lettuce, which will not stand much forc-
ing but must be allowed to come along
pretty nearly in its natural course.

The condition of the manure in regard
to moisture should also be given a Utile
attention. If this is in a wet, heavy
condition and no other means are avail-
able for drying it out a little before
hand it would be well to leave it spread
out on top of the soil for a day or two
to dry somewhat before working it into
the soil.

Though there is not much danger of
the soil being too wet just after the
crop is cut, owing to the necessity of
keeping it on the dry side after the
plants have reached the mature stage to
prevent damping; nevertheless if it
should happen that the soil is in a
rather wet state it should be allowed to
partially dry out before beginning to
work in it, as working the soil wet makes
it heavy and soggy and anything but
suitable to the wellbeing of the plants.

After planting it is well to use a little

care in the application of water. There
will be no necessity for watering the
whole bed for some time after the plants
are set, but water should be applied
to that part of the soil immediately
surrounding the plants. Thus the mois-
ture is placed so it can be reached by
the roots and utilized by the plants, and
danger of souring the soil thereby
avoided. As the plants attain size and
the roots spread a larger surface will
require to be dampened, until the whole
bed is covered, but too much care can-
not be used in the application of water
during these dull, short days when very
little evaporation takes place.

MUMS AND LETTUCE.

Could I grow mums in greenhouse
benches in the same soil I used for let-
tuce? Would there be any danger of
spoiling my lettuce soil? Or would the
roots interfere with the lettuce? Or
would it be better to grow them in
pots plunged in the lettuce soil? If
planted in the bench could I mulch
them, with what and how thick? "What
two or three varieties of each color,
white, yellow and pink, would be best
for cutting to be off by Thanksgiving,
as I want the ground for lettuce?

C. H. T.

If I follow C. H. T. correctly, he
desires to know whether he can use
the same soil without changing after
the mums are cut, for a lettuce crop;
if he uses new soil for the mums, or
perhaps it is a solid bed instead of a
bench where the soil is not removed
very often. In any case a crop of
mums can be taken before lettuce is
planted, providing the soil is sweetened
out and more fertilizer added before re-
planting to another crop. By fetilizer
I mean a top-dressing of nice rotten
manure. If this top-dressing were
applied to the chrysanthemums in Sep-
tember, an inch or so in thickness, it
would help both crops a good deal. It
is not advisable to keep soil in the
benches too long. It should be changed
every year at least.

A selection of standard varieties that
would run together would be about as
follows: White, Alice Byron, White
Coombes, Eaton; yellow, Cheltoni, Ap-
pleton. Yellow Eaton; pink, Coombes,
W. Duckham, R A. Cobbold; red, S. T.
Wright, Dazzle, W. K. Church.

OBITUARY.

Death of J. A. Budlong.

On Saturday morning, January 13,
Joseph A. Budlong, the widely known
Chicago grower and wholesaler of cut
flowerp, while riding his bicycle past the
greenhouses of Peter Keinberg, at Robey
street and Foster avenue, was struck
by an electric car, sustaining a fracture
of the hip and internal injuries from
which he died on Sunday afternoon at 3
o'clock. No one but the motorman wit-
nessed the accident and it is impossible
to say just how it occurred. Mr. Bud-
long was removed from the scene of the
accident to the Swedish hospital only a
few blocks away, but his injuries were
beyond the reach of medical science.

Joseph A. Budlong was born at Provi-
dence, E. I., in 1841. He removed to
Chicago in 1862 and has been an active
and influential figure in his section of
the city for nearly half a century. A
number of years ago he was engaged in
market gardening and the pickle packing
business with his brother, but for twenty
years he has devoted his energies to the
growing of cut flowers. For nearly a
dozen years his product was consigned to
leading commission houses, the range of
glass being added to until, in 1898, it
afforded suflBcient resources for the back-
ing of a wholesale store, which was
opened at 37 and 39 Randolph street and
was at that time under the management
of John Zech, the present manager being
Philip Schupp, who is Mr. Budlong 's son-
in-law. The business has developed both
steadily and rapidly and is now among
the largest in the city, handling besides
the cut from the Budlong range, tlie con-
signments of a considerable number of
other growers.

The greenhouse establishment has been
added to until the glass to be erected this
spring will completely cover the city
square on West Berwyn, near Lin-
coln avenue. The very best of methods
have been followed in all depart-
ments and the best of results achieved.
Mr. Budlong never departed from
his New England conservatism and
whatever he undertook was well consid-
ered and eminently practical. In recent
years he has practically given over the
management of his greenhouses to his
son, A. H, Budlong, in whose hands the
prestige of the establishment has suf-
fered not at all.

Mr. Budlong was good natured, kind
hearted and generous to a degree which
won him not only the respect of every-
one who knew him, but the friendship of
all with whom he was thrown in contact.
His business integrity was a maxim.

Since giving over the active manage-
ment of his business he has devoted a
large part of his time to the outdoor
recreations of which he was so fond.
Principal of these were bicycle riding
and skating. Annually for twelve years
he has made a bicycie pilgrimage to his
old family home near Providence. It is
1,150 miles by the shortest route and the
trip occupied two to three weeks. He
invariably wheeled the entire distance one
way.

Mrs. Budlong survives, with one son,
Albert H., and one daughter, Mrs. Philip
Schupp. The business will be carried on
by the estate without change in the man-
agement.

left. At the right is Lyman A. Budiong,
the well known pickle packer and largest
onion set grower in the United States.
In the center is Wm. H. Budlong, of
Providence, the younger brother.

The funeral was held on Wednesday
afternoon and was attended by a large
number of those in the trade, the floral
remembrances being very numerous. In-
terment was at Rose Hill cemetery.

LETTUCE.

The Second Crop.

In preparing for replanting after the
crop has been cut, it is well to see that
the surface of the soil is thoroughly
cleaned of all decaying vegetable mat-
ter. Usually when lettuce is cut a few
of the smaller under leaves are left and
these are often more or less tainted
with decay. The careless operator will
often turn them down into the soil in
forking it over, in place of spending a
short time in clearing them off before
beginning the forking process. From
just such carelessness fungus germs are
propagated, which prove a source of con-
siderable trouble in the crop that fol-
lows. The old lettuce roots should also
be picked out in forking over, soas to
leave nothing in the soil that will de-
cay.

To keep up the fertility of the soil
it will be necessary to add some fertiliz-
ing ingredients before planting each of
the crops. Just what to add will depend
a good deal on the nature of the soil,
but as a rule the use of commercial fer-
tilizers is not advisable; the best is the
old stand-by from the barnyard, in a
well decomjtosed condition. This, thor-
oughly worked into the soil, is the best
general fertilizer we have, especially for
crops of this nature, which need some-
thing they can take ludd of right away
and in which the plant food is easily
available. The so called commercial fer-
tilizers are too violent in action to suit
lettuce, Avhicli will not stand much forc-
ing but must 1)0 alloweil to come along
pretty nearly in its natural course.

The condition of the manure in regard
to moisture should also be given a little
attention. If this is in a wet, heavy
conditicm and no other means are avail-
able for drying it out a little before
hand it would lie well to leave it spread
out on top of the soil for a day or two
to dry somewhat before working it into
the soil.

Though there is not much <langer of
the soil being too wet just after the
crop is cut, owing to the necessity of
keeping it im the dry side after the
j)lants have reached the mature stage to
prevent damping; nevertheless if it
should happen that the soil is in a
rather wet state it should be allowed to
partially dry out before beginning t )
work in it, as working the soil wet makes
it heavy and soggy and anything but
'suitable to the wellbeing of the plants.

After planting it is well to use a little

and influential liuuie in his section ol'
the city for nearly h;ilf a century. A
luuulier of ye.ars ago he was engaged in
imiiket gardening and the pickle packing
business with his brotlier. but for twenty
years he has devoted his enei-^ies to the
growing of cut fhnvers. l''or nearly a
dozen years his proilm-t was consigned to
leading co'iiniissiun houses, the range of
glass lieing addcil to until, in ISlts, it
afTortled sulhcient resources for the back-

of .John Zech, the ])resent m.anager being

indaw. The business has developed both
steadily and rajtidly and is now among
the largest in the city, handling besides
the cut from the lludhuig range, tTie con-
signments of a considerable number of
other "rowers.

TEILMANN'S HOUSE.

The accompanying illustration is from
a photograph takfn in the carnation house
of Gunnar Teilmann, MarionJ^Ind./'a few
days before Christmas, The vawty,at
the right is Moonlight, a Avhite sent out
two or three years ago but not very .wide-
ly disseminated. Mr. Teilmann finds that
it does excellently with him and is his
most profitable white. On the bench to the
left are Crane and Flamingo. Crane has
always done well with Mr. Teilmann and
the crop for Christmas was a sight. He
says wholesale and retail prices were the
same at that time, $1 per dozen, at
retail in Marion and at wholesale in Chi-
cago,

Mr. Teilmann does a large trade in
cemetery vases and window boxes in the
spring and it will be noted that he has
material for this purpose along the edges
of the carnation benches.

The photograph also shows the style of
construction peculiar to this place. There
are no purlin posts, but every few feet
the bars are trussed with a wire which
can be tightened or loosened at will. The
roof also supports the flow pipe, which
runs down the center of the house sus-
pended from the crosspieces.

HYDROCYANIC ACID GAS.

I would like to know why they al-
ways say to use hydrocyanic acid gas at
night. Why can't it be used in the day-
time? It makes it bad about firing and
ventilating at this time of the year if
used at night. Two hours after opening
the ventilators I go in and fire up and it
generally gives me a sore chest and dry
throat for a few hours and I am not in
good condition to sing at the funeral of
the pests, although I feel like it.

I know of no reason why this gas
should be generated after dark any more
than fumigating with tobacco is always
done at inconvenience after dark, but we
think the reason for this old established
belief is that during the day, particu-
larly a day of bright sunshine, our plants
are slightly weakened and they are less
able to resist any gases or fumes dele-
terious to their health.

As for any trouble with your throat
or chest, you have not surely followed
the methods that have for several years
been advised for generating this gas or
you would have no occasion to moderate
the temperature of the house or inter-
fere with ventilation. An hour before
sunset you can put your jars in place,
mix the water and sulphuric acid, drop
in your parcels of cyanide, lock your
house and go home and contemplate the
final going home of myriads of black,
brown and green aphis. W. S.

TWIN QTIES.

The Market.

Business the past week has been very
dull. Occasionally one would be favored
with a funeral order, but as a rule there
was practically nothing doing. Prices
remained firm. Stock is coming in stead-
ily, and it appears that the supply about
equals the demand. While some stores
were carrying heavy stocks at the end of
the week, by inquiry it was found to be
stock shipped in from outside points.
Our growers are not cutting much stock,
possibly on account of the cloudy weather
that we have had the past week. But

there appears to be considerable stock in
the bud,

Minneapolis. '^'

The Powers Mercantile Co, appear^ to
be disposing of considerable stock, but
most of it is of a second grade; for in-
stance, carnations that sell for 75 cents a
dozen and roses for $1,25 and $1.50 a
dozen. Owing to the great number o/
people that pass through their place every
day it is not to be wondered that they
do a large business. A small percentage
of them stopping at the cut flower de-
partment insures a good trade.

Swanson seems to be doing very well.
He has a fine, attractive place and, while
business is net rushing, there are some
good sales.

The New York Florist, located in the
Nicollet hotel block, are disposing of
large numbers of carnations, which are
a specialty with this concern.

There was some demand for flowers
for the victims of the West hotel fire,
but as the majority of the unfortunates
were from a considerable distance from
here, the demand was not as heavy as it
would otherwise have been.

St. Paul.

The writer had the pleasure of a call
at the St. Paul Floral Co, plant, run by
Frank Gustafson, formerly of L, L, May
& Co, In all he has about 35,000 feet of
glass. Brides and Maids are grown prin-
cipally and, while the weather has been
against us, he is cutting some good stock
daily. He also has some Enchantress
carnations which are very good. Jubi-
lee is still grown here and seems to be a
success.

A short distance from the St. Paul
Floral Co. is the plant of N, C, Hansen,
who grows nothing out carnations, and
they are all fine. He has for a white
The Queen, with which he has been very
successful. He has also had good
success with Enchantress and Flamingo.
Guardian Angel is grown extensively, Mr,
Hansen is to be complimented on the
neatness in which his houses are kept.
A few years ago Mr, Hansen started with
one small house; today he has five houses
24x100 feet, which is evidence of thrift
and energy.

Among the callers for the past week
were J. F. Wilcox, Council Bluffs; J.
Jensen, Hillegom, Holland; J, Q. A.
Turnbull, representing E. H, Hunt, Chi-
cago, Felix.

NEW YORK.

The Market

The market holds its own, which means
that it is as good as usual at this season
of the year and prices hold fairly steady.
This is perhaps due as much to the lim-
ited shipments as to any other cause,
nothing unusual in the way of weddings
and funerals having taken place since
our last report. This week the largest
automobile show the world has ever seen
may furnish power to give a little more
speed to society's demand.

Carnations have been retrograding in
price during the past week, but close at
hand is McKinley day, more talked of
and written about than ever before and
more likely to be observed.

Lilies are in good demand at advanc-
ing prices. Violets are abundant and
non-aggressive. It is hard work to force
the price above 75 cents for the very
best. May as well call it an "off year"
for violets and have done with it. Some

stock begins to regain its natural per-
fume again. This sells readily.

Orchids hold steadily and there is
never an overstock. There is too big a
field now for that, and too limited a
supply for this big country.

Various Notes.

The annual dinner of the New York
Florists' Club will take place at the St.
Denis hotel Saturday evening, February
3. Tickets may be had of Walter F.
Sheridan, 39 Wtest Twenty-eighth street.

The ex-officers of the New York Flo-
rists' Club have formed an association
for mutual benefit and reunion, inau-
gurating its existence with a dinner at
one of the famous hostelries. All the
presidents, vice-presidents, secretaries,
treasurers and trustees are eligible and
enthusiastic as to its success.

John Scott, the new president, is a
busy man, with greenhouse building and
Scottii shipments and the absorbing
duties of his new office. He was in at-
tendance at the first meeting of the out- ■
ing committee last week, where complete
arrangements were made for the club's
annual holiday. Liberal donations were
assured and the committee, with Wheeler
as chairman, promises something much
larger than usual.

The ball of the wholesale employees
was a great success. At midnight there
must have been nearly 1,000 in the grand
march, the enormous floor space being
entirely filled. The decorations were pro-
fuse and to Frank Sheehan belongs the
credit, Christmas trees and an abund-
ance of lycopodium roping were used and
flowers were distributed to the ladies.
The wholesale and retail houses bought
tickets liberally and the boys figured up
a handsome profit as the result of their
enterprise. The officers were: Nicholas
C, Schreiner, president; Charles Mat-
thews, vice-president; John Foley, treas-
urer; Elmer Greatfield, financial secre-
tary; John Egenbrod, recording secre-
tary; Arthur Wiese, sergeant-at-arms ;
Frederick K. Bohlman, floor director;
George J, Allen, assistant floor director.

So impressed were some of the retail-
ers present by the success of the ball
that arrangements were made for an
organization of retailers and their em-
ployees with a view to a similar event
early in March, at the Lexington opera
house or Madison Square Garden, All
interested are asked to meet at the store
of Harry Hoffmeyer on the evening of
Monday, January 22, to perfect arrange-
ments. Messrs. Gottlieb, of McConnell's,
and Good, of Scallen's, are prominent
boomers of the enterprise, which can be
made a great success.

The Tarrytown dinner came along
Wednesday evening of this week, a little
later than usual. This is the only florists '
club dinner in the country I have met
where only temperance beverages prevail.
But its popularity and excellence are
proverbial and the men who miss it are
few and far between. There was a large
New York delegation and with it the
award committee of the New York
Florists' Club on a visit to the new in-
troductions of the F. E. Pierson Co.

Henry Smith, a gardener, has brought
suit against Helen Gould for $10,000
damages for injuries received while
spraying trees on her estate. It seems
a chemical solution was scattered
through some defect of the hose, injur-
ing his eyes, face and arms. This could
not have been Esler's reliable hose,
which needs no insurance against any-
thing, not even hail.

Carnation House of Gunnar Teilmann, Marion, Ind.

There seems to be no limit to the en-
terprise of New York's park commis-
sioners. The latest absorption is tlie
village of Bronxdale, with its 2,000 popu-
lation, which is soon to become a part
of the famous Bronx park, an addition
altogetlier of over 200 acres. The cost
of the acquisition to the city will be
some $2,000,000. This added makes
Bronx and Central parks similar in area.

The attendance from this center at the
Boston convention will be a representa-
tive one. New Yorkers have some very
striking novelties to exhibit and one of
the New York wholesalers will read a
paper.

A. S. Burns was among the victims of
unseasonable weather. Most of the af-
flicted of last week are convalescing.

C. W. Ward, of Queens, left for
Omaha on Sunday to preside at the con-
vention of the plant section of the
American Breeders' Association. He
will have to hustle to get back to Boston
for the carnation meeting.

Arthur T. Boddington's business is
growing very rapidly. He is on his an-
nual visit to his customers in the Lennox
section. The home interests are cared
for by Air. Begbie. Night work is neces-
sary to keep pace with the accumulat-
ing trade.

Lion & Co. will make a specialty of
their Colonial brand of florists' ribbons
and report very encouraging progress
since establishing themselves at 114 to
116 Spring street.

An abundance of white lilac is found
at Ford Bros, this week, of superb qual-
ity.

' A. L. Young and A. Moltz were among
the wholesalers making merry at the
ball last Saturday evening. Theo. Lang
was a prominent figure in the grand
march.

The Bowling Club "died a'borning. "
Many of the old club have joined other

organizations. Later another effort will
be made to get the Dayton match pro-
vided for and a harmonious club estab-
lished. In the meantime, Flatbush and
Thums' alleys furnish congenial oppor-
tunities for practice and enjoyment.

S. S. Skidelsky, of Philadelphia, was
in the city Monday on his way to Bos-
ton, a guest of Alex. Guttman, whose
carnation, Victory, he has made one of
his specialties. Mr. Skidelsky reports he
is entirely sold out of the Schroeter car-
nation, Rosepink Enchantress, and has
been returning orders since the first of
the year. He predicts a great demand
for the new rose, Queen Beatrice.

J. Austin Shaw.

VASHINGTON.

State of Business.

Prices remain about the same as they
were a week ago. There are prospects
of a break in the price of carnations if
the Philadelphians continue to unload on
this city. The local rose growers are
sending in good stock of American
Beauty, Bride, Bridesmaid, Golden Gate
and Chatenay, which is quickly taken.
The demand continues steadily, with a
possible increase, for all good stock suit-
able for table decorations. The winter
thus far has been favorable both for the
growth and use of violets; consequently
they are of good quality and move freely
at fair prices. Excepting Paper "White
narcissi, which are plentiful, cut bulb
stock is very shy. There is a considerable
movement in lilac for decorative pur-
poses, but as a pot plant it is not a suc-
cess.

There is considerable demand for
primroses, hyacinths and other spring
flowers in pots and pans, those in o-inch
and 6-inch pots retailing at 50 and 75
cents each.

Tlie Growers.

A. Gude & Bro. 's greenhouses show a
fine stock of American Beauty, Bride,
Bridesmaid, Golden Gate and other roses,
as well as carnations, and the great va-
viety of pot stock that is in demand in
a first-class store such as theirs. In ad-
dition to superintending their extensive
greenhouses, Adolphus Gude finds time
to branch out in other lines of business
and report has it that he is making
money in all of them. Being a good fel-
low he deserves it.

Alexander B. Garden is said to be the
hardest working grower in the District.
He was born and has always lived on the
place which he now successfully super-
intends. It is probable that his disposi-
tion for work has some connection with
his being such a stayer. He has recently
made extensive improvements in his
range. In addition to roses and carna-
tions, he is having good success with
bulbs, lilac and other forcing stock.

F. H. Kramer divides his time between
his range, store and the Center Market,
where he does a large business. Just
now he is busy getting up a stock of the
Queen Beatrice rose, for dissemination.
He has also a prolific stock of Bride,
Bridesmaid and Golden Gate. In azaleas,
bulb stock. Crimson Rambler roses,
palms and ferns he is keeping well up
in the procession.

Peter Bisset is experimenting with
Aralia cordata, introduced from Japan
by the U. S. Department of Agriculture.
This is a food plant " to be used as a
salad with French dressing," at least
that is what the recipe says, but the
writer, who has always plumed himself
on being a civilized man, because he
wanted all his "wittels" cooked, can
eat this new plant raw, and like Oliver
Twist, call for more. It is more tender
and tastes better than celery and will
undoubtedly become popular. Scotty.

The Market.

The market ludds its own. which means

assurt'd and the <-omniittee, with Wheeler

larger than usual.

'Che ball of the wholesale employees
was a great success. At midnight there
must have been nearly 1.000 in the grand
march, the enormous lloor space being
entirely fillcMl. The decorations were jiro-
fiise and to Prank Sheehan belongs the
credit, ('hristmas trees and an abund-
am I' of lvcoj)odiuni loping were used and
llowcrs were distributed to the ladies.
The wlndesale and retail houses bought
tickets liberally and the boys figured up
a handsome i>rofit as the result of their
enterprise. The officers were: Nicholas

So imjiressed Averc some of the retail-

that arrangements wore made for an
organization of retailers and their em-
ployees with a view to a similar event
early in March, at the Pe.xington opera

The Tarrytowu dinner came .along
AVednesday evening of this week, a little
later than usual. This is the only florists'
club dinner in the country I have met
where only temperance beverages prevail.
But its ])opnlarity and excellence are
jiroverliial and the men who miss it are
few and far between. There was a large
New Voik delegation and with it the

ing his eyes, face and arms. This could
not have been Kslcr's reliable hose,
which needs no insurance against any-

The Weekly Florists' Review*

January 18, 1906.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

The market suffered another relapse
during the later half of last week, but
was showing signs of renewed activity at
the begininng of the present period.
Carnations suffered in price more than
any other item last week. There has
been something approaching a glut, and
while prices on the best grade of goods
have been fairly well maintained, the
lower grades and those which were car-
ried over, have sold out cheaply. This
week cuts have been somewhat reduced
and the market has been gradually stif-
fening.

Beauty crops are just coming on and
prices are weaker, with a prospect of a
still further decline as soon as we have
a little bright weather. Quality is excel-
lent in every particular. Maids are
showing the effect of the dark weather,
the color being off. The substance in
teas continues good. Brides are quickly
picked up because of the large amount of
funeral work, which also keeps white
carnations cleaned up. Harrisii, callas,
Paper Whites, Romans and white tulips
are selling fairly well because of the
same demand. Violets are not in large
supply but are ample for all require-
ments, as there seems to be no special use
for this flower this season. Stevia is
selling well and mignonette goes nicely.
A considerable number of cypripediums
is seen. McKellar reports good demand
for cattleyas for fine funeral work.

The green goods market is steady.
Dealers are drawing upon their storage
stocks of ferns and there are no idle
moments for the boys; picking over is
necessary.

Retailerjs Meet.

The Eetail Florists' Association held
its second meeting Monday night. The
directors reported a constitution and by-
laws which were adopted and ordered
printed. They follow closely the phrase-
ology of the laws of the Florists' Club.
The directors sought also to curb the
ardor of some of the members, and to
allay the fears aroused by thoughtless
assertions, by a declaration of the as-
sociation 's aims and objects, which they
indicated to be as peaceful as a mid-
summer morning — but before adjourn-
ment the directors were instructed to
map out a plan of action against the
**red violet" business. They are to re-
port it January 29. Temporary oflBcers
were made permanent, adding Chas.
Schneider as vice-president. Incorpora-
tion was ordered. More than a dozen new
members were added.

The wholesalers have indicated their
willingness to, as a body, receive a propo-
sition from the retailers looking to
mutual concessions.

Qub Meeting.

President Hauswirth occupied the chair
for the first half hour of the club meet-
ing January 11, but was called away and
Vice-president Leonard Kill presided for
the balance of the evening. Philip
Schupp, manager of J. A. Budlong's
wholesale store, and J. M. Smely, Au-
rora, 111., were elected to membership.
Applications was received from John
Ziska and N. P. Miller. P. J. Haus-
wirth was made a committee of one to
arrange for a party to the Boston car-
nation convention. Prof. A. C. Beal,
of Urbana, was present and urged that
all present join the State Florists' As-

sociation. Jas. Hartshorne brought a
vase of a fine red seedling carnation.

The entertainment committee an-
nounced a special meeting at Clark
and Devon avenue at 7:30 tonight.
There will be supper and entertainment.
It is expected all club members and a
large number of growers will be present.

Various Notes.

News of the accidental death of J. A.
Budlong, chronicled in another column,
was a great shock to his many warm
friends in the market. The Florists'
Club held a special meeting at Winter-
son's Wednesday afternoon and attend-
ed the funeral in a body.

Emil Buettner is sending the A. L.
Eandall Co. the first white lilac of the
season. Quality is good.

The leading retailers nearly all shared
in the work for Dr. Harper. The obse-
quies extended over three days and were
of a character in keeping with the dis-
tinguished nature of the great educa-
tor's services to the city and the world.
Orders for flowers came from many Eu-
ropean governments and from all parts
of America. The work was all choice
and there was much of it but all that
lay on the casket during the several
periods it was open to public view was
a single stalk of Harrisii with a purple
ribbon.

The death of Marshall Field at New
York January 16 has made a deep im-
pression in Chicago business circles. He
was one of the first to see the possi-
bilities of a great central market and he
has since done more than any other man
to spread the fame of commercial Chi-
cago. He was Chicago's leading citizen
and business will be practically sus-
pended on Friday during the hour of the
funeral. Samuelson has the family
order; the omission of other flowers is
requested.

Arrangements have been made for
those going to the carnation convention
to travel via the Lake Shore. All who
can join the Chicago party are asked to
address P. J. Hauswirth, 227 Michigan
avenue, who will make arrangements as
to leaving time to suit the greatest num-
ber, Cleveland, Buffalo and other towns
en route are expected to join. The round
trip fare will be $29,35,

L. Coatsworth and wife plan a trip
to Cuba and Jamaica about February 1,
to be absent several weeks, Mr, and
Mrs, 0. P. Bassett had arranged to start
for Cuba on Saturday but have postponed
their departure for a few days.

Peter Reinberg has a piece of a little
over two acres of land that has been a
sore spot in his eyes, so last Saturday
he bought glass to cover it up. Any fur-
ther addition will require more real es-
tate. Mr. Reinberg has also yielded to
the insistence of his constituents and
will be a candidate for re-election to the
council.

P. J. Foley was at his office last week
for the first time since the flower show.
He lost only thirty-eight pounds during
his illness and is rapidly getting it back.

John Degnan has returned from his
trip to New York and Philadelphia, where
he bought the new stock of supplies for
the Chicago Rose Co. He went over to
Flatbush one night and won a silk muf-
fler in the bowling.

On Monday A. Lan^e opened his new
store at 40 Madison street. It is small
but very neat and makes a fine show
from the busy street,

George Reinberg is getting into an-
other crop of Beauties, which is always

NOTICE

Because of the new wage scale which
the Printers' Union has enforced upon
those employers not willing to suffer
interruption of their business, especially
because of that part of the scale which
makes overtime practically prohibitive,
it is of first importance that the Review
obtain its advertising **copy'* earlier.

It is therefore earnestly requested
that all advertisers mail their ''copy'*
to reach us by Monday or Tuesday
morning, instead of Wednesday morn-
ing, as many have done in the past.

Edith H. Horton, of Bassett & Wash-
burn 's, has been ill at her home at Evans-
ton this week.

A striking calendar has appeared in
a number of stores and offices about
town, a bright poinsettia sent by J. A.
"Valentine, of Denver.

A committee of the Horticultural So-
ciety shaped up next fall's premium list
at a protracted session on Monday. It
carries close to $5,000 and will be
distributed in a few days.

The Market.

We are still having spring-like
weather, which of course, has a bad
effect on business. Stock of all kinds is
very plentiful and prices are not what
they should be at this time of the year.
There seems to be plenty of funeral
work but outside of this trade is slow.

There is a fine lot of stock in almost
everything and prices are lower than
for some time. Carnations are coming in
more heavily every day and in order to
dispose of them on Saturday prices were
made to suit the buyer in thousand lots,
in all varieties. The stock is of a fine
quality, especially Lawson and Enchan-
tress. There are plenty of Brides and
Maids for all demands. Perles, too, are
plentiful, with slow demand. Extra fancy
Richmonds are scarce. Carnot is off
crop. Extra long Beauties are not com-
ing in as they should, as the demand is
good for them. Other grades are plenti-
ful.

Bulbous stock is piled up at all the
commission houses at cheap prices. A
few tulips and Von Sions are in. Cal-
las, too, are coming in better. Harrisii
is scarce. California violets are in great
abundance and have sold as low as $3.50
per thousand. Doubles fetch 75 cents
per hundred but sales are slow, as Cali-
fornias have the call here. All greens
seem to move better this week.

Club Meeting.

The Florists' Club held a very impor-
tant meeting January 11 at which nearly
twenty-five members were present. The
treasurer, Mr. Meinhardt, was prevented
from attending on account of the sick-
ness of Mrs. Meinhardt.

It was decided to hold our annual
carnation show at the next meeting. First
and second premiums will be given for
twenty-five white, red, light pink, dark
pink and variegated. The prizes will be
$3 for first and $2 for second in each
class. Competition is open to all. Grow-
ers of new varieties are also invited to
send their newest kinds. The trustees
will see to the staging and taking care
of stock.

Carl Beyer led a discussion on ' ' Forc-
ing Blooming Plants for Easter, ' ' which
was very interesting. Those taking part
in the discussion were John Steidle, E.
J. Scott, H. Braun, J. F. Ammann, E.
Schray, George Windier and George M.
Kellogg. The other discussion on ' ' Man-
aging a Flower Show" did not take
place. John Steidle gave a very inter-
esting talk on his trip to Chicago. The
president also called on Mr. Burrows for
a talk on his southern trip among the
smilax men. This was Mr. Burrows' first

appearance at our meeting and he made a
good impression.

The next meeting will take place on
Thursday afternoon, February 8, at
which two more discussions will take
place, one by John Steidle, on "The
Newer Carnations and How to Grow
Them, ' ' the other by J. J. Beneke, ' ' The
Best Means of Bringing a Flower Show
before the Public." These and the car-
nation show should bring out a large
attendance.

Various Notes.

L. Baumann, of Chicago, was a caller
the past week selling florists' supplies.

Judge Vesey, of Fort Wayne, Ind.,
was in East St. Louis attending supreme
court the past week and spent a day in
the city.

Henry Johann, of CoUinsville, was in
town Thursday to attend the club meet-
ing and reports a good holiday trade.

George M. Kellogg, of Pleasant Hill,
came down especially to attend the club
meeting Thursday. Mr. Kellogg reports
everything in fine shape at his large
plant.

Theo Miller, Henry Felter and Charlie
Kuehn paid a visit to J. F. Ammann,
at Edwardsvillc, the past week. They
report the place in fine shape.

W. J. Pilcher had a fine lot of chick-
ens at the chicken show last week. He
came in for a few blue ribbons.

The St. Clair Floral Co., of Belleville,
is busv building new houses.

A. G. Fehr, of Belleville, Til., re-
ports a fine holiday trade in all lines,
and trade has been good ever since.

The Ellison Floral Co. was kept very
busy the past week with two large wed-
dings and other work.

The Market.

Business January 6 has not been very
favorable but the supply of roses and
carnations has not been enough to over-
stock the market and prices have held
up well. Calla lilies and Paper Whites
have been overplentiful for tlie past two
weeks and the call for sweet peas and
valley has also been slow. Single and
double violets are down to 60 cents and
75 cents per luindred for the best and

the demand is slow. The cut flower busi-
ness has kept up well but it is the fellow
who does the funeral work that has had
the real dull times the past week. The
market for green goods continues active.

Various Notes.

At the annual meeting of the Florists'
Exchange January 1 the report showed
an increase in business of twenty-five per
cent. The board of directors were re-
elected as follows: John M. Rider, I. H.
Moss, F. G. Burger, E. A. Seidewitz,
C. E. Akehurst, AV. G. Lehr and F. C.
Bauer. The board elected E. A. Seide-
witz president, F. C. Bauer vice-presi-
dent, W. G. Lehr treasurer and C. Ake-
hurst secretary. A committee was ap-
pointed to secure plans and estimates for
a new building which is expected to be
ready by spring. The Florists ' Ex-
change of Baltimore is said to be the
first organization of its kind in America.
It was founded in 1890, through the ef-
forts of E. A, Seidewitz, its first and
present president.

Mr, Addison, fornierly a.sslstant man-
ager at the Florists' Exdiange, was mar-
ried New Year's week.

The new seetlling wliite carnation
shown at the last club meeting by Fred
Bauer looks very i)roinising and was well
spoken of.

At the last club meeting B. Vincent,
Jr., spoke very interestingly on his re-
cent trip abroad. Being largely interest-
ed in geraniums and dahlias, he made it
his object to visit the large growers of
that sort of stock, but said it was a
hard matter to obtain quantity, no mat-
ter what the price. Mr. Vincent spoke
very highly of the exhibit at the Crystal
Palace, London, saying that he never
saw a show in our large cities to equal
it in artistic arrangement of the exhibits
and also the floral designs, with an over-
flowing attendance of all classes of
people.

George Fox, of West North avenue,
has closed his store and expects to go
south in the near future.

Charles Erdmann had considerable
damage done to his greenhouses by fire
New Year's week.

A meeting of the committee of the
State Horticultural Society acting joint-
ly with the committee of the Gardeners '
and Florists' Club was held January 9
to lay plans for the erection of a horti-
cultural and exhibition hall which it
is proposed to build with state aid. The
committee of the Gardeners' and Flo-
rists' Club were J. N. Boon, Thomas H.
Patterson, I. H. ]Mose, N. F. Flitton

The Market.

Business the past week has been very
slow, the demand being much less than
for the corresponding week of last year,
but fortunately the supply has been lim-
ited, so there has been but little loss,
violets both single and double being the
worst sufferers. The slow business was
caused by the very pleasant weather we
have been having. Prices are quoted the
same as last week, but lots of stuff has
been jobbed at lower prices.

Various Notes.

The Florists' Club's smoker was a suc-

cess in every way, the large crowd en-
joying themselves very much, and the
discussions on eel worms by some of our
leading growers brought out some very
different ideas on this important subject.
Arguments of this kind cannot help but
do good for all the members, and many
of them would like to see an exhibition
of the members' skill, in producing cut
flowers or plants, something nice that
they have grown and were willing to
place on exhibition. A meeting of this
kind once a month would surely bring
out a big crowd, and then to wind uj>
the season by holding a flower show at
one of the armories for the education of
the public would do much good in many
ways.

H. R. Carlton and wife, of Willoughby,
will take in the coming carnation con-
vention at Boston. It being his old home
he will certainly liave a pleasant time re-
newing old friendships. Guy Bate, presi-
dent of the Cleveland Cut Flower Co..

BOSTON.

The Market.

Taken on the whole the market is very
good, better than at the same season for
some years. The dull season, which
usually lasts for a month after Christ-
mas, is this year less pronounced. The
supply of both roses and carnations is
smaller and each of these chief staples
is selling very well.

American Beauties sell for from $6
to ,$9 per dozen for the best. Brides and
.Maids vary from .$3 to .$12 per hundred,
a very few selling higher. Some very
good Chatenay are coming in and sell
well at from ,$4 to $1(5. Liberty is
abundant and lower in price; same rates
as Chatenay. Excellent Killarney are com-
ing in and sell well, also Wellesley. Some
very fine Kichmond are seen and bring
higher prices than Liberty, which latter it
will largely displace next year. Some
very good Mrs. Oliver Amos and ^lor-
gan are also seen.

Select carnations bring .$4. Enchan-
tress, Fenn and Mrs. Patten are now espe-
cially fine. Other grades vary from $2
to $.3. Prosperity varies froin $5 to $8,
but only comes from a few growers. Vio-
lets run from 60 cents to $1 per hundred.
Both Campbell and Princess of Wales are
now of splendid quality. Sweet peas
vary from .50 cents to $l"..10 per hundred.
The higher priced arc very fine. There
is more variety in bulbous stock. Golden
Spur and double Von Sion narcissi come
from several growers, in addition to

Gutiation Convention.

Indications multiply that the coming
convention will prove the banner one in
the society's history. From west, north
and south we hear of visitors and exhibi-
tors who are coming and they will be
well repaid for their trip.

We hope visitors will remember that
delegates from the Gardeners' and Flo-
rists' Club wearing badges will be at the
north and south terminal stations, as
well as at the Back Bay station of the
N. Y., N. H. & H. K. R. and the Hunt-
ington avenue station of the Boston &
Albany K. E. to meet all incomiug trains
on the morning of January 24. The two
last named stations are very near the
Copley Square hotel and Horticultural

hall.

In a recent issue we stated that only
2,000 blooms were shown at Boston in
1895. This should have been 7,000, that
being the number staged.

The A. C. S. usually has a snow storm
aa a side attraction. We hope climatic
conditions may prove as favorable as on
February 21 and 22, 1895, in Boston, and
there will be no cause for complaint.

The Cleveland Cut Flower Co. will
exhibit its concrete bench and there will
be other allied exhibits of interest to
growers.

Qub Meeting.

There was a first-class attendance at
the club meeting on January 16, about
100 members being present. The newly
elected oflficers were installed and each
spoke optimistically of the club 's future,
President Wheeler predicting the most
successful year in the club's history
with a membership of 400 ere its close.

The evening being known as carnation
night, the well known carnation special-
ists, Messrs. M. A. Patten and Peter
Fisher, spoke instructively on the past,
present and future of the divine flower.
All spoke optimistically as to the future
of carnations. Interesting remarks from
other members followed. It was voted
to accept lady members.

The exhibits of the evening were
largely of carnations, a number being
seedlings. These would have been even
more numerous but for the near approach

of the carnation convention. Fisher's
red seedling and M. A. Patten's Pink
Patten were awarded reports of superior
merit.

Carnation convention subjects and the
proposed referring of applications to the
executive committee took up some time.
A good start for the new year was made,
there being sixteen new members admit-
ted and more promised for February.
There were refreshments as usual, and it
was a late hour ere the meeting closed,
all present voting it a most enjoyable
one.

Various Notes.

Dr. L. O. Howard, of Washington,
who opened the lecture season at Hor-
ticultural hall on January 13, had a
large audience to listen to his talk on
"The Possibilities from Insect Para-
sites." He expressed strong hopes that
the parasites obtained from Europe some
time ago will eventually keep the brown
tail ana gypsy moth pests under con-
trol, in which hope his audience fervently
joined.

J. W. Manning showed a plant of Aza-
lea Hinodigeea, a popular form of
Azalea Indica, at Horticultural hall on
January 13. The flowers are of a clear
rosy pink color somewhat resembling A.
amcena but larger and of a better shade

of pink. The plant is hardy at the
Reading Nurseries and should prove very
useful.

The directors of the Music hall flower
market have accepted a very advan-
tageous oflfer to lease their present floor
for theatrical purposes and will move
into the basement of the same building,,
where a large staff of men are making,
the needful preparations for removal.
The lower floor is the same size as the
one now occupied. It will be well fitted
up and brilliantly lighted and should
prove just as serviceable as the present
stand. It will contain an ice chest 10x35
feet and every convenience. The rental
of the new location is less than half that
of the present floor, which is a bi^
item. It is hoped to have the new quar-
ters ready for occupancy on or about
January 22.

Doyle had the decorations, which were
quite elaborate for the Armory ball at
the Somerset on January 12.

Penn, on Bromfield street, had a very
effective window decoration the past
week, composed entirely of scarlet car-
nations and Lilium Harrisii.

David Lumsden has been engaged as

POEBLMANN BROS. CO. «i?*l!i !r Chicago

GREENHOUSES: MORTON GROVE, ILL. 900,000 FEET OF GLASS.

The new souvenir catalogue of the
Park street flower market, now practi-
cally completed, is a very handsome and
up-to-date production.

W. L. Lewis, of Marlboro, has just
acquired a fine new automobile, in which
he may visit the convention if roads are
in good order.

The employees of the A. H. Hews Co,
were entertained to a banquet by Mrs.
A. H. Hews, on January 13, at Odd Fel-
lows' hall, North Cambridge. Music
and other attractions added to the pleas-
ures of the evening,

J. Tailby & Son brought in the first
double Von Sion narcissi to the Music
hall market on January 13, They are
also cutting fine Golden Spur, They have
been forwarding considerable stock to
New York of late,

Thomas H. Meade, for the past seven
years salesman for Jos, Breck & Sons,
has left that firm and may start in on
his own account,

. H. Waldecker, of Braintree, has work
well advanced on two new houses each
150 feet long.

John J, Fee, Lively & Bond and E,
Sutermeister are all bringing in fine
Golden Spur narcissi at present. The
last named gentleman has also been
bringing in fine pans of Dutch hya-
cinths.

Winsor carnation is doing grandly
with Peter Murray, in Fairhaven. Mr.
Murray grows this more largely than any
other sort and it is more than upholding
last year's reputation, F, K. Pierson
Co., who purchased it, will show it at the
coming convention. Having watched its
behavior now for over three years we
believe it to be one of the coming favor-
ites,

L, H. Fellows, late of Vose & Fellows,
Hyde Park, will erect several houses
for himself next season,

Julius Heurlin, of the Blue Hill Nurs-
eries, South Braintree, has just recovered
from a spell of sickness of several
weeks' duration, Mr. Heurlin 's increas-
ing trade made necessary the purchase of
100 acres more land some time ago to
be used largely for ornamental trees and
shrubs. He is also building a propagat-
ing house. \V. N, Craig.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market

Last week was rather dull in cut
flower circles. The supply was light
but the demand was uncertain. Condi-
tions have improved this week, thers
being greater activity, both locally and
out of town. The supply of most
flowers is still light. Choice roses are
scarce and bring good prices, but the
lower grades are more plentiful. Brides
are scarcer than Bridesmaids, which
makes them seem in better demand, an
unusual occurrence in January. The
fancy grades of carnations have fallen
still more. White is scarcer than the
colored sorts among the common va-
rieties. Gardenias are much more plen-
tiful and are lower in price. Valley
has been in oyersupply. Sweet peas are
of good quality and seom much appre-
ciated for dinners and teas. Calla lilies
are plentiful and in demand. Both
freesias and single daffodils are increas-
ing in supply. White lilacs are more
popular. Cattleyas are coming in freely

more plentiful than last season, when it
was a novelty, (ireens are selling well.
La Keine tulips have appeared.

Progress.

It was mentioned in tlie Kkvikw ex-
clusively, 1 tliink, that S. S. Pennook
had taken possession of his new quar-
ters in time for tlie Ciiristmas rush. The
workmen were swept back on Thursday
before Ciiristmas to make room for the
great quantities of choice stock shipped
in for the holidays. After New Year's,
however, the workmen reclaimed the new
building. Tliey have been engaged since
then in ]»utting on the finishing touches,
but now everything is in readiness for
the opening, wliidi is expected to take
place next Monday, January 22. The
new buildings are' 1608 and 1610 Lud-
low street, immediately adjoining num-
bers 1612 to 161S, now occupied by Mr.
Pennock '.s wholesale establishment. The
partition has been taken away, adding
a Hoor space of about 44x60 to the al-
readv largo area. Mr. I'ennock's private
office is in the front of the new addi-
tion. It is comfortable, convenient and
well liglited. A freight elevator is
among the improvements of the new
building. A basement covering the en-
tire space will be used as a storeroom.
The rooms in the upper stories have all
been rented as work-shops. Mr. Pennock
is to be congratulated on his enterprise
in so quickly turning a rather unsightly
building into a neat and attractive place
of business.

Various Notes.

An esteemed correspondent of a con-

temporary warmly and deservedly praises
the number and loveliness of Alfred Bur-
ton 's Beauties. Had this E. C. only
taken time to stroll from the north to
the south side of Willow Grove avenue,
Wyndinoor, he would there have found
that the Beauties produced by George
Burton were bearing flowers no less num-
erous and fully as beautiful as those of
liis brother. There are two Richmonds
in tlie field.

•J. D. Eisele, vice-president of the
Henry A. Dreer Co., sailed for Europe
on January 16 on a flying business trip.

W. E. McKissick 's fine grade of Avild
smihix is much sought after. He has had
some large orders from prominent decora-
tors.

Herbert Steinmctz took charge of a
store on Eighth street, below Arch, early
this month. This store was for many
years run by Eugene Weiss. Mr. Weiss,
it is said, will devote his attention to
ills rose farm at llatboro.

Lemuel Ball, of Wissinoming, says that
his Christmas, lasting throughout the fall,
was very satisfactory. He was success-
ful in coloring Dracaena terminalis in
4-inch pots bettor than ever before.

John Burton, assignee for Robert
<'taig & Son, transferred the property at
Forty-ninth and Market streets to
Robert A. Craig on January 10. It is
understood that Robert A. Craig will, in
turn, transfer this property to the new
Robert Craig Company.

J. G. Wlhilldin went to New York on
Wednesday to act as a government wit-
ness in deciding the value of some pot-
tery imports.

The Leo Niessen Co. is receiving white
tulips and freesia.

John Jensen, of West Philadelphia,
has been cutting scarlet tulips since
Christmas, and yellow tulijis early in
January.

Frank Ely reports that some varieties
of aster, cosmos and sweet peas are
likely to be scarce. He believes that his
firm, the Henry F. Michell Co., will have
jdenty of all these seeds, their new crop
being safely in the warehouse.

John Leech has resigned his position
at Twenty-second and Diamond streets.

J. A. Smith, of H. F. Michell Co., re-
turned on Tuesday from a very success-
ful trip through Pennsylvania.

The Whilldin Pottery Co. had a larger
stock on hand January 1 than ever be-
fore in its history. They are now run-
ning short on some sizes of pots. It is
oidy fair to add that this is the com-
pany '3 first year with the Review.

Phil.

Indianapolis, Ind. — Florists here
have had the best business on record,
but now it is rather slack.

Peoria, III. — Eleven firms were rep-
resented at a meeting at the store of
Cole Bros. January 8, at which it was
decided to invite the Illinois State Flo-
rists' Association to meet here in Febru-
ary.

Muskogee, I. T. — J. L. Knisley, man-
ager of the Muskogee Nursery Co.,
states that the call for cut flowers and
pot plants has become so great that the
company has decided to erect a range of
greenhouses in the spring.

BUFFALO.

Current G>mment.

Business since New Year 's has been
very fine and stock none too plentiful.
Festivities of large size are not, and
have not been, numerous, but that is
more than balanced by a call for flowers
for many diflferent occasions. Carna-
tions still seem the popular floAver and
when they are of good quality not one
is wasted. ^lany of the finest carnations
coming to Buflfalo are grown by a gen-
tleman who seldom favors Buffalo with
his presence* he is too busy with his
Lawson and Enchantress, for he is a
corker for hard work. We are going out
to spend the day with him very soon and
that will be a better excuse to write up
"Billy" Stroh, his model place and the
small city of Attica, on the banks of the
classical Tonawanda. This pretty In-
dian name of river and tribe is as musical
and soft as the first notes of the bluebird
in spring, and so is the river in August,
but when on the rampage of a spring
freshet it fubmerges many "miles of farms
and plays old Harry Avith roads. .Nfost
Tndian names have a meaning, such as
Niagara niay mean falling water. From

occasional summer drives through the
Tonawanda Indian reservation we are
convinced that the euphonious sounding
Tonawanda means an Indian squaw not
afraid of fire water.

Harry Bunyard was in town in tiie in-
terest of Arthur Boddington. A visit from
'Arry is always a cure for dyspepsia,
"don't you know, blame me bloomin '
eyes. ' '

Louis Lang, whose death was noticed
a couple of weeks ago, was the surviving
and connei'ting link between the old an<l
new schools of floriculture in this city.
He was a man of a kind, sociable dis-
])osition and of sterling integrity. Forty
years ago there were about three commer-
cial greenhouses in this vicinity. There
were W. J. Palmer, Sr., on the Circle;
Louis Lang, on North Division street,
and John Pickleman, on Higii street.
^fr. Lang '.s surroundings soon became the
thickest populated ])art of the city and
the smoke from the manufacturing part
of the town made his glass opaque and
about all the houses were caj)able of grow-
ing was the camellia. For years he had
a great trade in this line of business.
Those were the days that tlie camellia
was king among flowers, and in ordering
a cro.ss, or wreath, or harp it was not

size of design that was the consideration,
but "How nuuiy camellias will you put

What a change has come over us and
what an interesting story some clever pen
could record on the evolution of the
busines.sl Only a few men have been
able to keep up with the steady march
of j)r<)gress, and with the change has
come a new set of men, younger blood,
and most of them have made their mark
unfettered by old methods and tradi-
tions. 1 f this young blood docs not pre-
tend to know floriculture as Avidely as
the disappearing generation, it has
energy, without which the wisdom of
Socrates or the genius of Shakesjieare
are of no avail. W. S.

Tkkuk H.vvtk, Ind. — Flounker & Sons
have moved their greenhouse opposite the
cemetery, where they hope to be re-
warded by doing a better business in
tlie spring. The move was expensive.

.\r(;r.sT.v, C.v.— Henry W. T. Balk,
manager of Balk's Nursery, says cut
flower and plant trade is increasing
steadily. Their greenhouses are on
(Jreene street, with salesroom with the
Cable Piano Co. down-town.

AMERICAN SEED TRADE ASSOaATION.

Pros., W. H. Qrenell. Saginaw, W. S., Mien.;
First Vlce-Pres., L. L. May, St. Paul; Sec'y and
Treas., C. E. Kendel, Cleveland. The 24th annual
meeting: will be held at San Jose, Cal., June, 1906.

The selection of Toledo for the next
seed trade convention seems to give gen-
eral satisfaction.

Bed and 'white onion sets are reported
in brisk demand at good prices. Yel-
lows are following suit.

Now that the price of onion seed is
settled, the next thing is to satisfy the
man who wants to buy it.

We still think that San Jose, Cal.,
would have been equal to the occasion if
the convention had been given it.

It looks strange to see a retail cata-
logue bearing the name of C. C. Morse
& Co. The book is very creditable.

Visited Chicago: Joe L. UUathorne,
of UUathorne Seed Co., Memphis, Tenn.;
Max Wilhelmi, of F. Barteldes & Co.,
Lawrence, Kan.

It is noticeable in the seed catalogues
at hand, that the houses supposedly best
able to stand for low prices are among
the top-notchers.

The U. S. Circuit Court for the
Southern District of New York has de-
termined that fifty-seven pounds is a
bushel of onions.

Weeber & Don, New York, have
Southport White Globe onions, $1.75 per
lb., in their wholesale list, and $3 per ib.
in the retail catalogue.

W. Atlee Burpee & Co. state in their
^vholesale list published January 8 that
more than 30,000 miles were traveled to
inspect the seed crops of 1905.

David Herbert & Son, Atco, N. J., an-
nounce that they have purchased the
assets of L. K. Peacock, Inc. Mr. Pea-
cock will be associated with them,

Toledo, O.— C. S. Burge, of S. W.
Flower & Co., has been delegated to take
charge of the arrangements for enter-
taining the Seed Trade convention next
June.

H. F. MiCHELL Co. says that treating
«weet pea seed with nitro-culture be-
fore sowing will produce larger flowers,
cause earlier flowering and prolong the
season of bloom.

Peter Hollenbach, Chicago, suggests
that a lake trip from Chicago to Toledo
via Detroit be recommended for the con-
fiideratioil of the western contingent as
a part of the transportation program
for the 1906 convention.

The Minnesota experiment station is
making an effort to interest farmers in
seed selection by means of a prize con-
test, for the purpose of increasing the
state's average yield of wheat, oats and
corn.

The good prices at which sweet corn
is quoted in the current catalogues is
gratifying to the growers who, in the
face of an apparent overplus of the
article, held that final results would show
a comparatively short crop.

NEW SWEET PEAS

•^

EVELYN BYATT

A GORGEOUS
NOVELTY

The most gorgeous colored Sweet Pea yet Introduced. It may be termed a self Oorereons,
having a rich orange salmon standard, and falls or wings still a trifle deeper color, giving a
rich, fiery orange or deep sunset color to the whole flower, very stri^ng and unique. It has
caused quite a sensation wherever shown during the past year.

PHYLLIS UNWIN

A GIANT
NOVELTY

I

I

Color a deep rosy carmine self, the same form as GLADYS UNWIN, with the prettily waved
and bold standard of that variety, but a little larger, producing 3 to 4 flowers on a stem. It
is quite sunproof and perfectly fixed. The stems are long and stout, and it may be described
as A OIAVT IN EVBBT WAT.

Each of above novelties, $14.60 per 100 packets;
$1.76 per dox. (Retail, S6 cents).

GLADYS UNWIN li^lI^rV"" '

This finest of all Fink Sweet Peas we introduced last season. It is a striking*

and sterliner improvement, qnite fixed and difttinot, and a

great acanisition for Cut Blooms.

OlfADYB UVWIir has a very large and bold flower, not hooded, but with a very striking
upright crinkled or wavy standard, and broad wings. Color, a pale rosy pink. A strik-
ing feature is that about 76 per cent of the long flower stems are with four blooms, which
is a most unusual thing in Sweet Peas. It was first raised four years ago, viz., in 1901, and
has kept perfectly true and fixed in character each year since and we have no hesitation
in saying it is a bona-flde departure in pinks. For market growers especially it cannot be
surpassed, and is just the lovely pink color which is so much in demand. 9^.60 per ponnd.

J. J. H. Gregory & Son, Marblehead,
Mass., are celebrating their fiftieth an-
niversary this year.

Jos. A. BUDLONG, whose death is re-
ported this week, was one of the pioneer
onion set growers of Chicago.

The C, B. & Q. K. R. will send a seed
and soil special over its lines in Illinois
early in February. It is hoped to repeat
last year's successful experience.

The Southwestern Seed Co., Fayette-
ville, Kan., has recently completed a
brick warehouse, 25x100, with basement,
for handling field seeds and seed pota-
toes.

On another page of this issue will be
found an interesting account of a Cali-
fornia trip, written by E. B. Darlington,
of Burpee & Co., and read before the
Florists' Club of Philadelphia.

The Maryland Agricultural College has
been following the lead of the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture in testing sam-
ples of grass seed and has recently pub-
lished its findings in pamphlet form. In
all 127 samples are reported on, mostly
bought in one-pound lots from the small

TOLEDO MEETING.

The Review of last week contained
our correspondent 's telegram from Phil-
adelphia, the first published information
of the action of the executive committee
in choosing Toledo, O., as the next meet-
ing place for the American Seed Trade
Association. The following is Secretary
Kendel's notice of the meeting:

' ' The executive committee of the
American Seed Trade Association held
a meeting at Dooner's hotel, Philadel-
phia, January 10, and decided that be-
cause so few of the members Avere able
to go to California, it Avould be better
to postpone that trip and accept the
invitation to hold the next convention at
Toledo, O. There were present Pres-
ident W. H. Grenell, Secretary C. E.
Kendel, C. N. Page, S. F. Millard, M.
H. Duryea and F. W. Bolgiano. Of
the Philadelphia seedsmen there were
present W. Atlee Burpee, H. M. Earle,
W. P. Stokes, H. W. Johnson, Burnett
Landreth, and Chas. H. Breck, of Bos-
ton. ' '

EUROPEAN SEED NOTES.

It is a matter of considerable com-
ment and some surprise to not a few
seed buyers, on receipt of the various
wholesale catalogues from European
seed exporting firms, to notice the very
great difference in prices quoted by the
leading German growers and the best
Italian houses, for some of the principal
articles contained in their lists. The
difference is especially noticeable in
asters, an article which is particularly a
German specialty. Some of the leading
German houses are quoting three times
the quotation for Italian Dwarf Bou-
quet, and twice as much for the Comet
section. In Victoria aster the variation
is still more pronounced, and it is the
same through practically all the varieties
of asters and also with many other lead-
ing sorts of flower seeds. With vegetable
seeds the difference is almost as marked.
There can hardly be all this great differ-
ence in quality; in fact, many buyers
will tell you the one is as good as the
other and the mere fact of the Italian
firms keeping their old customers and
continually increasing their business
proves the quality of their seeds is up
to the mark. There may be some few
lines which are not improved, even if
not deteriorated, by warmer climatic
conditions, but in the growing of the
great majority of seeds for seed pur-
poses only, especially flower seeds, suc-
cess and failure usually depend on good
weather conditions for the proper ripen-
ing and harvesting. It should also be
noted the leading Italian firms particu-
larly guarantee their asters to be in no
way inferior to the German strains. It
may be imagined that the wholesale seed
buyer who has not already done so will
not be slow to make some seed trials and
see for himself which quotation is actu-
ally the best value for the money.

The Secretary of Agriculture has ob-
tained the opinion of the Attorney Gen-
eral on the legality of the Act of Con-
gress which directs the Secretary of Ag-
riculture to purchase and test grass seeds
and to publish the results where adultera-
tion or misbranding is found. A part
of the opinion, dated January 12, 1906,
is as follows:

You say that "it lins been suKgested that the

So far as the statute in question Is concerned,
the sale, shipment and transportation of the
seeds mentioned remain entirely untrammeled.
It is jet for Congress in the exercise of Its
power over Interstate and foreign commerce,
and for the states, in the exercise of their
police powers, to regulate and control this mat-
ter within their respective Jurisdictions. A
bill was introduced at the second session of the
58th Congress (H. R. 9660) and reintroduced at
the present session of the 59th Congress (H. R.
4480) which In terms prohibits the Introduction
Into this country and the interstate shipment of
adulterated and misbranded seeds, and their
sale in the District of Columbia and the terri-
tories of the United States, and makes a viola-
tion of the act a misdemeanor, punishable by
fine and Imprisonment. Here, of course, is regu-

Doubtless but for the fact that Congress has
directed the name of the seller of the mis-
branded or adulterated articles to be published
no question would have arisen in respect to this
legislation. But that fact in no way alters
the character of the legislation. It still re-
mains a measure for the dissemination of useful
information In regard to seeds, the publication
of the name of the seller being only an Inciden-
tal matter. It is true the seller may in some
ciises be Innocent of any intentional deception.
Still he has sold misbranded seed, and the pub-
lication goes no further than to state that mere
fact. Besides, the question as to what informa-
tion shall be published about these investiga-
tions and experiments is entirely for the deter-
nilnatlon of Congress. I see no constitutional
objection, therefore, to your carrying out the
mandate of the law.

France and other countries. This reso-
lution called forth an interesting discus-
sion by many members. The discussion
was not as to whether the resolution
should be adopted. Everyone present
realized the crying need of such a move
and the discussion was along the lines of
how much good would be accomplished by
such a chart. The society is to secure
a copy of the chart adopted by the
French Chrysanthemum Society for the

use of its members. There was a nice
exhibit of carnations by Baur & Smith
and John Hartje. Candace shown by the
latter was awarded a certificate of
merit. The out-of-town members were

The Market

Business has improved somewhat over
last week and trade is moving along at
a very nice gait. Decorations of various
descriptions have helped the market out
and all first-class stock was sold quickly
and at good prices. The price of Beau-
ties has dropped somewhat, but is still
very fair value. The supply of this
flower is increasing a great deal and that
will surely lower the price in a week or
so, especially if the kind of weather con-
tinues which we are having at present.
Maids are in heavy demand and other
varieties of roses are not far behind.
There is no surplus stock in roses.

Carnations are coming nicely and sell
well at a litte reduction in price. Lilies,
both Harrisii and callas, are coming in
larger numbers and sell well. ' Other bul-
bous stock, such as narcissi, Romans and
valley, are all to be had and sell fairly
well. Tulips are on the market at $2
to $4 per hundred.

Violets are in neavy supply, both single
and double. Some fine stock is being sent
in. The demand is not quite what it
ought to be.

Various Notes.

The long contest as to who shall be B.
P. Critchell's successor has been settled
by the appointment of J. W. Kodgers, a
well-known and popular florist of Price
Hill, aged 34 years and engaged to be
married to Miss Martha Meyer. Mr.
Critchell has been a very capable super-
intendent, and Mr. Eodgers comes into
office just as much important work is to
be undertaken.

There will not be many Cincinnati
florists at the Boston carnation show.
So far E. Witterstaetter, Will Sunder-
bruch and Ed Foster are the only ones
who will go. There may be others at the
last moment. It is too long a journey

for most of the boys, as they would
have to be away not less than a week.
Mr. Witterstaetter expects to stage Aris-
tocrat and it will be in fine form. The
Cincinnati delegation will leave here
Monday at noon.

Wm. Murphy has been taking a trip
through the south.

Julius Baer has had a large decoration
in Cherleston, W. Va.

A visit to the Hoffmeister Floral Co.
greenhouses shows them to be in good
shape. Since giving up the store on Elm
street they have been conducting a retail
business over the phone from their green-
houses and they report it as quite a suc-
cess. Business has been fine with them.
They grow all their own stock and do it
in good form. They operate twenty-
seven houses, making quite a large ex-
panse of glass. C. J. Ohmee.

PACIFIC COAST.

Pasadena, Cal. — The annual rose
tournament January 1 was the most
elaborate in history. It is estimated
that 5,000 visitors were in the city to
see the floral parade and to participate
in the many festivities.

Long Beach, Cal. — The week before
Christmas there was a freeze which did
great injury to the outdoor carnations,
so that there will be few if any good
blooms for at least two months. The
Alamitos Nursery is building a green-
house 18x60 for ferns and bedding
plants, and a house for roses is contem-
plated a little later in the season.

SEASON SHORTENED.

From present indications, and accord-
ing to the prophecies of some of our old-
est "weather sharps," the Pacific coast

is going to have a "dry year" again
this season. This condition may not ap-
peal to our eastern horticulturists, but
to the Californian it means a great deal.
We are now in the middle of January and
we have only had a fractional part of
our usual rainfall. When it is taken into
consideration that our planting must
practically be completed by the first of
March, tMngs begin to look serious both
for the grower and the planter.

In both central and southern California
at the present writing there has been
insufficient rainfall to permit digging
stock properly, the ground in most in-
stances not being moist over eight inches
in depth. This rule will, of course, not
apply in districts where the soil is
sandy or where considerable irrigating
has been done during the late summer
and fall, but in the majority of our con^-
mercial nurseries the natural rainfall is
relied on both for the digging and the
customer's ability to replant.

Our season at the best is at least six
weeks shorter than that of the eastern
and middle states and when, with the
approach of warmer weather, which
usually comes early in March, the buds
of the deciduous trees begin to swell and
grow, we know we have reached our limit.

This state of affairs is especially dis-
tressing to the grower of fruit and shade
trees, especially the former, as most of
the dealers growing this class of stock
rely almost entirely on it for their sales
and another year added to cultivation
means a loss of many dollars, the result
being a tree probably too large and old
to be handled to advantage.

With other lines of ornamental stock
the effect may not be as apparent, al-
though large planters will not handle
stock after the proper season has passed
and the dealers will have to carry it until
another year.

Our eastern friends have a distinct

autumn and spring planting time, but
with us we rely entirely on our rainfall
and if that comes too late or is too scanty
to give the proper impetus to trade we
liave nothing left to do but hope for bet-
ter luck nex,t time. Fall trade is not
reckoned on here to any large extent,
although year before last we had a heavy
rainfall in September, so that our season
commenced about two months earlier than
usual and continued through the year un-
til the following March. At the present
time we have not had as much rain as
we had during that memorable month and
as a consequence the present season will
be very short in any event and will in
all probability be added to the list of
what is usually called ' ' dry years. ' ' O.

SPOKANE, VASH.

With the characteristic quiet of after
holiday trade we can give an outline of
the rush of the past few weeks. "Win-
dows took on a gala appearance in deco-
rations of red and green, with immor-
telles, Oregon grape, mountain moss, mis-
tletoe and holly, the latter being shipped
from the east, arriving in such good con-
dition that the berries were still where
they should be, instead of where they
usually are after shipping, at the bot-
tom of the crate. Supply was not nearly
sufficient to cover demand in nearly all
lines, and only the slight assistance ren-
dered by near-by towns saved the situa-
tion from being a deplorable one. Vio-
lets and Beauties were received from the
Chicago market and in such a perfect
condition that the writer is of the opin-
ion that it is only a question of time
until the United States will be shipping
to the Philippines.

Just previous to the holidays Hoyt
Bros, and Miss Armstrong, after doing
business for eleven years, severed part-
nership, the former opening a store on
Riverside avenue with Mr. Yonkin in
charge.

Miss Wright, who has been doing busi-
ness as the Lidgerwood Greenhouses, has
formed a partnership with Miss Arm-
strong, the firm to be known hereafter
as Armstrong & Wright, and located at
Miss Armstrong's old stand at 807 River-
side avenue. We predict great success
for this firm, as both ladies are well
known, being the pioneer florists of Spo-
kane. Miss Luflfman, who came from the
east recently to be with Miss Wright,
will be in charge.

The Spokane Florist Co. reports a
large business, as is evidenced by Mr.
Kipp's broad smile.

Visitors this week were : J. J. Karins,
representing H. A. Dreer, Philadelphia,
and W. Tackman, from The Dalles, Ore.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market

The continued dry weather has a very
marked effect on business in the floral
line and everyone is hoping that the next
few days will bring us a copious down-
pour. Flowers are more plentiful than
they were last week but the prices re-
main stationary. Carnations give indica-
tions of heavy crops in a short time and
I expect that prices will descend some-
what in the next ten days. A few out-
side mums are still to be seen and they
are eagerly bought up by the retailers,
as there is a great scarcity of a cheap
white flower that can be used in funeral
designs. Our narcissi are very scarce

NURSERY NEWS.

AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF NURSERYMEN.

Prea., E. Albertson, Bridgeport, Ind.; Vlce-
Pres., Orlando Harrlaon, Berlin, Md.; Sec'y, Geo.
C. Seager, Rochester; Treaa., C. L. Yates, Roches-
ter. The 31st annual convention will be held at
Dallas, Texas, June, 1906.

There will be an unusual number of
large commercial apple orchards planted
this spring.

The National Ketail Nurserymen's
Association will hold its annual dinner
at Rochester, January 23.

W. T. Spelts, of Wood River, Neb.,
and W, L. Green, of Fremont, will es-
tablish a nursery at the latter place.

Wm. B. Foland, a nursery salesman
from Danville, 111., killed himself in a
hotel at Bloomington, 111., January 11.

The Jewell Nursery Co., Lake City,
Minn., entertained its employees and
their families to the number of nearly
500 on January 6.

Agents in Mississippi, or some of
them, find many small peach orchardists
pretty well discouraged by the ravages
of the borer and cuKulio.

When H. A. Terry, Crescent, la., re-
tired from business a few weeks ago he
sold his entire collection of peonies to
Meehan & Sons, Philadelphia.

The business in strawberry plants
promises to be heavier than usual this
season. Haverland, Gandy and Bubach
are the best selling sorts for the big
growers of plants.

A NOVEL project, and one of interest
to nurserymen, is that of the Kane
County Federation of Woman's Clubs,
with headquarters at Geneva, 111. They
propose to inaugurate a general move-
ment for the beautifying of the cele-
brated highway along Fox river from
Carpentorsville through Elgin and Au-
rora. Benjamin Holden, landscape ar-
chitect of Aurora, recently delivered an
address before the federation.

THE PRIVATE CAR.

Any nurseryman or fruit grower who
wishes to keep up with the times will
find the "other side of the story" set
forth by J. Ogden Armour in the Satur-
day Evening Post for January 6. In
the article Mr. Armour takes foi; his
father the credit for having made pos-
sible the present extent of the fruit in-
dustry, for having raised fruit and berry
growing from a local industry to its
present national importance. P. D. Ar-
mour found the packing business limited
by his inability to ship fresh meat in
warm weather; the refrigerator car wee
suggested; the railroads declined to
build them; Armour did it himself; it
revolutionized the business; he applied
it to the fruit trade; it worked another
revolution, and there we are, up against
the present agitation against something
which is, Mr. Armour says, a public
blessing.

Mr. Armour contends that the fruit
growers are more than satisfied <vith the
private ear system and that the excite-
ment is being stirred up by commission
men who have lost the opportunity of
cheating shippers with stories of the
poor condition in which stock arrived,

of glutted markets, etc., for all these
evils are remedied by the refrigerator
car.

He says, then, that it simmers down
to a question of rates. The charges are
for refrigeration, not for carrying. The
service is naturally costly because of the
splendid national organization, affording
facilities to shippers entirely beyond the
possibilities for a company operating
only on one road. The risks are largt,
the losses great, as in the case of the
failure of the Georgia peach crop in
1898, when not only was there no crop to
move but hundreds of thousands of tons
of ice were lost, brought in ships from
Maine to Savannah and thence by rail
to Fort Valley and Marshallville, at
great expense, only to melt. Mr. Armour
says that rates are not too high because
the fruit-growing industry has been built
up under them and that in fact the
rates have been voluntarily reduced from
twenty-five to fifty-five per cent in the
past ten years. He says that it is the
policy of the lines to reduce rates when-
ever possible to stimulate traffic, but if
it should be decided to go out of busi-
nes the fruit growers would be left
high- and dry, with no way to reach the
best markets.

MADISON, N. J.

On W^ednesday evening, January 10.
the Monmouth County Horticultural So-
ciety enjoyed its annual smoker. Th"
was the banner one of its existence;
large attendance, excelsior cigars, turkey
concomitants equal to Nugent 's and cel-
ery the like of which is grown only in
Madison and by the author of "The
Chrysanthemum." Crowning all was the
Totty punch, over which the genial
Charles had spent a prayerful afternoon
in its concoction, and taking rank with
the Westcott and Nugent dreams in
unique liquid refreshments.

The regular meeting of the society,
while brief, indicated by the reports a
most gratifying progress in number and

accomplishments. The treasury has an
ample balance and harmony prevails.
The handsome rooms were well filled and
among the visitors were W. J. Stewart,
secretary of the S. A. F.; F. H. Traend-
ly, ex-president of the New York Flo-
rists' Club; Peter Duff and Jos. A.
Manda, of Orange; A. J. Guttman and
Jos. Fenrich, of New York, and the
genial songster representing the Stumpp
& Walter Co. All the local lights of
horticulture were there except Wm. Duck-
ham, who has not returned from the con-
tinent.

The program provided included local
musical talent of a high order, and two
New York artists in instrumental music
and recitations that gave universal satis-
faction.

When the midnight train carried the
visitors away the club itself settled down
to make a night of it and the last echoes
as the train rolled in were the cheers of
the happy crowd over one of Totty 's
stories. These staid old and young ros<'
growers unbend and forget the cost of
coal and the other little discouragements
of the business at least once a year if one
may judge by their happy faces.

J. Austin Shaw.

PUEBLO, COLO.

December was a cold month and used
up lots of coal, but trade was good.
Holiday trade was the largest on record.
The greenhouse lettuce crop was kept
bare; in fact all the growers are prac-
tically out of lettuce now. There has
been no demand for radishes this winter.
It is strange, but tastes seem to run
that way.

E. H. Divelbiss has put up two new
greenhouses 22x100 feet, using 16x16
inch glass. He has them mostly planted,
growing vegetables only.

J. J. Thomas is now growing the third
crop of lettuce for this winter. It takes
42,000 plants for a crop. He grows
nothing but Grand Rapids lettuce.

DENVER.

The Market.

The market the weeks af tef New Year 's
beld up well. With seasonable weather
it has had an outdoor social influence.
The Denver winter is an ideal one and
in one way or another almost everyone
has been kept outdoors. The Country
■Club has been the scene of much enter-
taining, calling for a great many flowers.
Society is anticipating a number of in-
teresting events. There are two or
three fashionable weddings between now
and Lent. Grand opera opens next
"week. There will be many theater par-
ties followed by suppers and preceded
"by dinners, which all require the florists,
and the ordering away of the Second In-
fantry at Fort Logan to the far east
has caused several wedding dates to be
moved up a few weeks and the decorator
will again get in his work; so taking it
all in all the new year starts out well.

All stock is fair in quantity and gen-
•erally of good quality, meeting a propor-
tional demand. Prices have returned to
normal and are holding steadily to con-
•sistent figures. American Beauties are
of good quality, quantity being about
-enough to meet the demand and they have
sold well since the holidays, retailing at
from $3 to $8 per dozen. Brides have
■been a little scarce but of good quality.
Bridesmaids are more plentiful and in
•good demand at fair figures. Liberty
and Richmond are plentiful and both are
Tery satisfactory sellers. Some very fine
t)looms are now seen. Chatenay also
keeps up well

Carnations are plentiful and generally
of good grade, prices being about nor-
mal. Some fine Enchantress and Fiancee
are seen on the counters. Violets, both
single and double, are having an even
demand and are selling well. The grow-
ers still maintain the price at $1 to $1.50
per hundred. Narcissi, tulips and hya-
cinths are also seen in all the leading
shops. Easter lilies have begun to come
in but are not yet plentiful. Sweet
peas are also seen at a few places, but
as yet are not of first-class quality.

Various Notes.

It is generally conceded that business
since the holidays has been a shade bet-
ter than is usually the case and it is pre-
dicted that the January business will
exceed that of last year.

The Alpha Floral Co. will move from
the present location to 404 Sixteenth
street on account of the tearing down
and rebuilding of the block the store is
now in. The New York Floral Co. will
also remove to 521 Sixteenth street for
the same reason.

The Florists' Bowling League now
rolls at the La Court alleys, commencing
the first of the year. R. S. Mahan,
president of the league, joined us and
rolled last week the first game of the
season, making an average of 165.

Robert Kurth, for several years fore-
man for the Colfax Avenue Floral Co.,
has severed his connection and taken an
interest in the Pikes Peak Floral Co., of
Colorado Springs. Everyone wishes him
good luck.

N. A. Benson is cutting some very fine
Enchantress carnations as well as Ladv

Bountiful. He also has some of tho
finest Beauties in town.

J. A. Valentine expects to attend the
American Carnation Society's conven-
tion in Boston. Perhaps he will be the
only one from the Rocky Mountain re-
gion.

The Gallup Floral & Seed Co. will be
compelled to seek a new location, as the
property now occupied at Fifteenth and
Cleveland place has been sold to the gas
company for $100,000 for building pur-
poses. E. S. K.

GLEN COVE, N.Y.

The Nassau County Horticultural So-
ciety held its regular meeting January
3. It was the best attended meeting in
the history of the society. The society
has now entered upon the second year
of its existence and already has proved
itself to be an organization for much
good, bringing together its members in
social intercourse and advancing hor-
ticultural interests. The membership roll
steadily increases, which may be taken
as a good omen for the future welfare
of the society.

President Harrison occupied the chair.
Three new active members were elected,
and two nominated. Mr. E. R. Ladew
was elected an honorary member. Wm.
F. Ross, representing F. R. Pierson Co.,
Tarrytown, was present and elected to
active membership. It was decided to
hold the society's annual dinner on
January 27. J. F. J.

RED BANK. N. J.

The second annual dinner of the Mon-
mouth County Horticultural Society Avas
held at the Sheridan hotel January 11
and was from start to finish a howling
success. Some seventy-five members and
friends sat down to a splendid repast and
after this was over, while the wine and
cigars circulated, Dr, Whitmore, who
acted as toast-master, got down to busi-
ness. Speeches were made by Geo. H.
Hale, president; W. W. Kennedy, vice-
preSident; H. A. Kettel, secretary, and
N. Butterbach, treasurer, dwelling on the
society more particularly and welcoming
the visitors. Then the fun broke loose
and for five hours song and story and
speech followed each other without a dull
moment. Your scribe has attended lots
of dinners but never in his life has he
seen such hearty good fellowship and a
general good time. Nick Butterbach 's
poem was a dream and should be pre-
porA'ed among the archives of the society.
Wm. Turner's talk on things in general
and the progress of horticulture in par-
ticular was excellent, and Dr. Whitmore,
in extolling the delights of a gardener's
calling, soared into superb flights of ora-
tory. The dominant note of all the speak-
ers was pride in past achievements and
tonfidence to excel in future.

Visiting societies helped along the fun.
Messrs. Herrington, Totly, Reagan,
Sehultz and Lecker represented the Mor-
ris County Society, W. F. Ross the Tar-
rytown Society, and all helped with
speech or story, the singing of Mr. Leck-
er being of a very high order. Most of
the seed houses were represented by
their travelers.

The star card of the entertainment
committee was Maggie Kline, known on
three continents as the queen of Irish
songs. It is doubtful if she ever sang
to a more appreciative audience, and the
audience did not forget to let her know
it. It was a red letter night and the
standard of entertainment was so high
that next year the dinner committee will

ARISTOCRAT ANNOUNCEMENT

ss

E herewith confirm the reports, so far as our purchasing the above carnation is
concerned. We intend to disseminate same January 1, 1907. We do not
think it necessary at this time to commence boasting of its good qualities
and commercial value that have been proven and will be proven again to your satis-
faction.

We are now soliciting orders for January deliverj'^ and while we do not make
a specialty of booking orders subject to cancellation, we believe that to cancel is
everyone's right, if a variety does not live up to its reputation and we respect it if
done right and honorably. Orders are already coming in heavily and we strongly
advise your placing yours immediately as January bookings will soon be closed.

Aristocrat is O. K. and you will not be able to help yourself from buying
it later, so place order now as we shall not overbook ourselves on it, as we must
make good and that is one of our reasons for securing it.

Color — brighter than Lawson, a little brighter shade. Calyx does not burst.
Habit of growth, taller than Enchantress, more wiry and more free. Produces
cuttings freely which root easily. Has no disease of any description. Size, as large
as Enchantress but form more perfect than any other carnation.

ROOTED CUTTIN6S, $12 per 100; $100 per 1000; 5,000, $450; 10,000 $800.

NEW BEDFORD, MASS.

E. H. Chamberlin has leased two
houses of W. G. Kroeber and retained
him as grower. He is cutting some ex-
tra fine sweet peas. He is also display-
ing some single daffodils, being the
first of the season.

E. H. Chamberlin and his assistant,
Fred C. Covell, recently made two violet
blankets ninety-six inches long and forty-
two inches wide, a novelty »for this
vicinity.

S. S. Peckham is out with a new de-
livery wagon. He is showing a fine line
of primulas and azaleas.

William Livesey, who was with E. H.
Woodhouse, is sending in some large,
handsome Fair Maid carnations.

Peter Murray, of Fairhaven, who
leased the Winsor greenhouses, is cut-
ting a great quantity of the Winsor car-
nation. ^' ^'

NORTH TONA WANDA, N. Y.

The King Construction Co. has con-
siderably enlarged its buildings and
plant here. This increase will enable
them to at least double their output in
the United States for 1906. In order
to better handle their shipments a rail-
way switch has been run to their prem-
ises.

In Canada also their growing business
has demanded better accommodations and
they recently purchased a down-town
site opposite the G. T. E. new freight
sheds, having a frontage of forty feet
on Wellington street and 128 feet on
Dorset street. Possession was given last
week. As soon as additions can be made
to the Canadian works the offices of the
company will be centered on this prop-
erty. A special feature of interest to
the florists will be a show-room in which
samples of greenhouse structures and
accessories will be displayed.

MY MARYLAND

AVNOUVCEMEXIT

We, THE H. WEBER & SONS CO. of Oakland, Md.,

respectfully announce that The E. G. Hill Co. of Richmond, Ind., have
wlthdravrn from the contract made with us last spring, whereby they
would have jointly with us disseminated our new white carnation.
My Maryland.

The variety has been on trial at Richmond (3000 plants). Brooklyn
(300 plants), Philadelphia (1000 plants) and Toronto (1000 plants).
Reports from the first two named places characterize the variety as
being practically worthless, while from Toronto and Philadelphia favor-
able reports indicate that the variety is bearing out our claims for it.

Our own stock at Oakland is in elegant shape. An extremely wet

summer necessitated the holding of stock in a semi-dormant condition
after being housed, August 15 to September 1, thus making stock
too late for the fall shows. Since December Ist we have been cutting
grand blooms, and to prove our claims for the variety, we invite all
interested to come to Oakland and look it over.

While it is a source of regret to us that the variety has not proved
satisfactory in all places tried, we are satisfied that it will prove our
claims for it in at least some places besides our own.

We therefore announce that we will disseminate My Maryland as
per our advertisements, but before shipping any stock we give to each
and every one the right to cancel all or any portion of their orders.

JESSICA,

we believe, will succeed everywhere. It is even better than last year. As a red and
white variegated it has no competitors. Stock ready uovr.

Prices for botli varieties— $2.50 per doz.; $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000.

ABUNDANCE

The freest blooming of any carnation. A carnation
thatpays for every inch of bench room it takes up. For
those who want quantity rather than extra size it is just
the thing. It can be brought into bloom as early as you
please and continue all winter improving in size, quality
of flower and length and strength of stem.

DETROIT.

The Market

Businesis lias been quite brisk since the
holidays, recoptions and weddings being
added to a lot of funeral work. Beauties,
as almost always, arc a scarce article
on this market. Best Brides and Maids
are bringing from $10 to $14, while good
roses for funeral work can be bought at
from $;} to $5 per hundred. Carnations
are becoming quite plentiful, for the first
time this season, but they are still com-
manding good prices, from $3 to $4 per
hundred for the best stock. Stevia is in
great demand at 25 cents per bunch.
Tulips are being shown in some stores,
"but so far do not move very rapidly.
Schroeter has been having a good run
on some fine early yellow narcissi. Vio-
lets are seemingly out of style. Although
the shipments are much smaller than in
former years, still there are plenty to
go .iround.

Various Notes.

Friends of Herman Knope will no
doubt be pleased to learn of his rapid
recovery from his long illness.

A stag party was given by Theo Mit-
chell to a party of friends in remem-
brance of the good time at Washington.
After some interesting card games a
grand supper was spread before the boys,
with broiled steak as a headliner.

Breitmeyer's had charge of the decora-
tions for a very elaborate wedding at the
Cadillac hotel on Monday.

George A. Kackham has been on the
sick list the past few days.

James Taylor is contemplating the
changing of his heating system from
steam to hot water under pressure with
a forced circulation.

Visitors: Wm. W. Abrahamson, Chi-
cago; F. R. Pierson, Tarrytown, N. Y. ;
George F. Crabb, Grand Eapids; B. Esch-
ner, Philadelphia. H. S.

Oxford, Pa. — All the growers in this
section seem pleased with prices this
winter; they are all cutting good stock.
George B. Barnett is to build another
house 24x75 feet, for carnations.

Macon, Ga. — The Idle-hour flower
store has increased facilities in the form
of a conservatory at the rear, which adds
much to the appearance of the establish-
ment. D. C. Horgan, the proprietor, is
well pleased with the way the business is
increasing. H. E. .Tephson is the man-
ager of the store. Three or four more
greenhouses will be added to the range
before next season.

The Weekly Flonsts^ Review*

JANUA«Y 18, 1906.

TWIN BOILERS.

I would like advice regarding the fol-
lowing: At present we are using a thirty
horse-power boiler, steam heat, for heating
our houses aggregating about 14,000 feet.
In the near future we shall make addi-
tions necessitating a new boiler. Would
you deem it best to buy another thirty
horse-power and run the two in conjunc-
tion, or to buy one fifty horse-power boiler
and run it alone? Which would insure
greater economy of fuel and labor and
at the same time provide best heating
facility! C. B.

It is probable that under steady cold,
when the boiler is working to nearly full
capacity, that one fifty horse-power boiler
can be more economically run than two
of thirty horse-power. The fact that for
a considerable period during both spring
and fall one thirty horse-power boiler will
probably do the work of the whole plant,
together with the added safety of having
two boilers, leaves no question in regard
to the greater desirability of having two
boilers. A more uniform pressure can be
maintained in firing if two boilers are
employed and fired alternately; while
one is cooled by new fuel the other can
be making steam most rapidly under a
brisk fire, and vice versa. If the boiler
you have is a good one, located satis-
factorily, get another with the same di-
mensions ahd set it so the water level of
the two shall exactly coincide. Yoke the
domes so as to maintain equal pressure on
both when fired in conjunction and use
a yoke on the return so that they will
feed alike from the returns. Care in these
particulars is necessary in order that
one boiler may not rob the other of
water. If the yoke on the return can be
arranged considerably above the water
line of the boiler so much the better, as
it will largely overcome the ability of
one boiler to rob the other. L. C. C.

PLANT FOOD

"It gives us greut pleasure to tell you of the
value of Arnott's Concentrated Plant Food. We
have used it on roses and on the border for a
vinery with MARKED SUCCESS. It is a valu-
able plant food and is much more pleasant to use
than the old form of manure water."— Ge<j.

PITTSBUHG.

The Market

Nothing has occurred the past week
of any special interest in the "posey"
business hereabouts, but the ordinary
trade has been fair, leaving just enough
time for the proprietors of the various
stores to look about and spare a few
moments for gossip. Stock of all kinds
is coming in more plentifully every day
and there is quite enough to go around.
One man showed me a fine lot of Enchan-
tress, Lawson and white carnations which
he had bought for $1 per hundred. I
do not think the growers will care to see
them get much lower than that in Janu-
ary; however, that was not the general
price, but there is plenty of stock to be
had at $2 per hundred. Good roses still
maintain their price.

Varioui Notes.

"Word comes from Washington, Pa.,
that Jos. Seaman has taken a new part-
ner into his business. He arrived early
in the year, weight about ten pounds.
Congratulations are extended.

Chas. K. Hoifman sued the Mansfield
Coal Co. for damage to his property
caused by the removal of the coal under
his greenhouses. He was awarded $1,200,
not nearly the amount expected.

Next meeting of the club is Tuesday,
February 6, subject for discussion ' * Car-
nations. ' ' No grower should miss this
meeting. From remarks heard some va-
rieties will be discussed, and others, most-
ly new sorts, will he cussed. Come and
get wise before spending your money.

John Murehie and son, of Sharon, were
visitors on their way to Bakerstown to
visit Fred Burki.

The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. has in-
stalled a Burroughs adding machine.
Making the monthly statements on same
assures their customers that the footings
are always correct.

As the editor has been cutting out all
by-plays and side remarks there is not
much chance for a correspondent whose
long suit is salve, to have very extensive
notes when he has not had a chance the
past week to gather news. Hoo-Hoo.

Champaign, III. — Thomas Franks has
had the decorations for a series of recep-
tions by Mrs. J. W. Shuck.

Here is my dollar; please send me the

along without it. — Geo. W. Sutherland,

N. ZwEiFEL, No. Milwaukee, Wis., writes:— "I have 4 houses, each 28x200 feet, with a total
of 27,000 sq. ft. of glass. I can get all the pipes warm in thirty minutes with one of your No.
13 Boilers, and it is easy firing."

Grant Newport, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, writes:— "I bought a No. 2 Boiler in 1902. Takes
care of 7,000 sq. ft. of glass; would take care of 2,000 more. I have had a cast-iron boiler,
but it broke down twice in tour years, always in the coldest weather. It broke down
Dec. 26, 1901, and Z lost all my stock in consequence. I have now two No. 2 Kroeschell
Boilers and do not worry about their breaking down."

BOILER PRICES WITHDRAWN

Belo\7 find extract from official notice from three different manufacturers of cast-Iron boilers

Chk'auo, Jan. 13, r.)OC.

DearSik:— We beg to announce withdrawal at
close of business this day of all existing quotations
on Ideal Cast-iron boilers. New prices will be
mailed in a few days.

Utica, N. Y., Jan. 13, 1906.

(lENTi.EMKN :— Recent advances in raw materials
compel us to withdraw all prices on Carton and
International boilers. This takes effect at close of
business today.

BOILER PRICES WITHDRAWN.

Chicago, Jan. 13, 1906.

We beg to withdraw all prices on Sectional Boilers
and Tank Heaters at close of business today.

Wm. Gkenen, Kimberly. Wis., writes:— I bought a
No. 3 Boiler in 1903. We had a corrugated cast-iron
fire box boiler and a sectional cast-iron boiler before
we bought yours in 1903. The cost of heating with
this boiler is one-half less titan it was witii my cast-
iron boilers. Your No. 8 Boiler, which we bought
recently of you, is not being run to its capiicity.

Grant Newport, Cedar Rapids. Iowa, writes:— I
boujrht a No. 2 Boiler in 1902. Takes care of 7000 sq
ft. of glass; would take care of 2000 more. I have
had a cast-iron boiler, but it broke donn twice
in four years, always in the coldest weather. It
broke down Dec. 29, 1904, and I lost all my stock in
consequence. I have now two No. 2 Kroeschell
Boilers, and do not worry about their breaking down.

^fo ejckM%9Ur^

Can be boolced durine January and February at last Season's Prices, for delivery durine Sprine and Fall 1906.
We vvWX not ask you to pay for boiler until it is shipped.

Dear Slr:-

Aa par yoiir request we give our experience with

To-Bak-Zne Liquid as a apray for Thrlp. We used two tabelapoonful

of the liquid to a gallon of water, and found fourteen gallons

sufflolent for a house of Brides 25x300 ft. Wo applied this about

two or throe days apart, and found It oleaned the Thrlp completaly

out of the house. Since than we have used It In other houses as a

spray, and find this method very much better than fumigating,

and think we will depend entirely on spraying with To-Bak-Ine

Liquid In the futiu^Sf as It does the work so much better than smoking.

Tours very respectfully.

(^^zt^HjeJ(HUuM('<^^.^^

Spray! Spray! with To-Bak-lne Liquid

A positive destroyer of Thrips, Green Fly and Red Spider. DIRECTIONS— Based on a house 25x100— 4
teaspoonfuls to a gallon of water, used twice the first week and once each w^eek thereafter, will absolutely keep your houses clean
from insects. Use a good air or compressed sprayer with a misting nozzle. We recommend our Simplicity Automatic
Misting^ Sprayer as the best. (This is the sprayer used by Messrs. Bassett & Washburn.)

Can you afford to let your plants get infected before at least trying To-Bak-Ine Liauid? It is the only 45^ solution
on the market and has other valuable features found in no other nicotine solution. Send for full particulars and direc-
tions, cost, the best method of spraying and the best sproyer.

White Perfection

PURE WHITE* The most satisfactory white carnation ever offered to the trade. A true
florists' variety that is of the largest size and best form. It leads in production of blooms and the habit
is perfect. It is the first in bloom and at all times throughout the entire season gives an even cut of
flowers that cannot be equaled by any other variety. It opens quickly and does not burst the calyx.
It is perfectly healthy in every respect. The orders booked to date exceed the sales of any white varietj'^
we have yet sent out, Place your order early. Price, $I2.00 per lOO; $IOO.OO per lOOO.
We have a large stock and cuttings are of the best grade.

We can supply Robt. Craig, Victory, Jofin E. Haines, My Maryland, Candace

and Glendaie at introducers' prices— $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000.

We have Lady Bountiful and Tlie Belie in quantity,

NEW CARNATIONS

WINSOR, WHITE ENCHANTRESS
AND HELEN M. GOILD

One w^ay to judg^e Carnations is to see them on the exhibition tables. A better

and more convincing^ way is to see them growing^. There is nothing^ about any

of these varieties that -we 'wish to conceal ; therefore w^e cordially invite all

Carnation g^rowers to pay us a visit. Come at any time.

' . ' '' ' , ,*'•

WINSOR — This is sure to prove a winner. Nothing approaches it in color, which is a clear silvery- pink — a shade

between Enchantress and Mrs. Thos. w. Lawson— and much more beautiful than either. In fact it is just the shade that we have
all been trying to get. The color will make it sell in any market. The stem is just right. The flowers are considerably larger
than Lawson and much better shaped. As a grower it has everything that can be desired. So far we have not seen any large-
flowering variety quite so free as Winsor.

WHITE ENCHANTRESS— This is a pure white sport of Enchantress, which is at once the most popular and most
profitable carnation grown today, and this on account of its size and stem and freedom with which it blooms, white Enchantress
is identical in every respect but color. Those who desire quality as well as quantity will find it in White Enchantress.

HELEN M. CK>ULD — This is a beautiful variegated sport of Enchantress. The ground color is a lovely shade of clear
pink, the variegation carmine, making an exquisite combination of colors, besides being something distinctly new. At a short
distance the variegation does not show^ at all, the general effect being a beautiful shade of dark pink. Growth, habit, size and stem
are the same as Enchantress.

We have fine stocks, from which we can deliver healthy cuttings of Varieg^ated Law^son, White Law^son, Red
Laivson, Enchantress, Mrs. M. A. Patten, Lady Bountiful, etc.

Our Variegated Lawson is all that we claimed for it last season and is giving the fullest satisfaction everywhere —
the best in the variegated class.

G}me and inspect our stock of new and standard sorts for yourselves. Price list on application.

We certainly hope that there will be no occasion to take
advantage of the privilege of cancellation. If It shows up

Dear Sir : — It was with a great deal of pleasure that I
noted the unpacking of carnations on my Christmas order.
In this shipment there was not one broken bloom, and the
quality was by far better than any blooms to be seen in this
market, and we experienced no trouble in selling Enchantress
and Fiancee at $2.50 per dozen.

With many thanks for the careful manner in which you
handled this, as well as previous shipments, I beg to remain.

Very truly yours,

Dear Sirs : — The box of flowers you shipped on the 21st
arrived Sunday afternoon, a day later than we expected them.
Will state, however, that they arrived In perfect condition.
The packing was perfect and the flowers were the finest we
handled in a long time, and we must thank you very much
for sending us such nice stock put up In such nice shape.

You no doubt have complaints once in a while and will
probably appreciate knowing that the flowers arrived In such
good shape from such a long distance, being on the road as

long as they were. At what price could you take a standing
order for carnations and how long does it usually take them
to come from Joliet to Dallas?

Again thanking you for your good attention to our order

THE BOSTON CONVENTION

The American Carnation Society Holds its Fifteenth, and Most Suc-
cessful, Meeting and Exhibition.

President, John H. Dunlop, Toronto, Ont.

Vice-President, W. J. Palmer, Buffalo, N. Y.

Secretary, Albert M. Herr, Lancaster, Pa.

Treasurer, Fred Dorner, Jr., Lafayette, Ind.

PLACE OF MEETING FOR I907. TORONTO, ONT.

The fifteenth finnual exhibition of
the American Carnation Society is on
this week at Boston. As if it were the
exception which proves the rule, this
year the weather leaves nothing to be
desired; it is ideal. The show is the
most magnificent of the many splendid
exhibitions which the society has
staged. The main exhibition hall is
devoted to the cut flowers, which over-
flow into the small hall, where the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society
has a not large but very attractive
midwinter show, which adds materially
to the interest.

The Carnation Society has never had
so good a place for its exhibition as is
afforded by the new building of the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society.
The lecture hall affords perfect accom-
modations for the business sessions,
while ample accommodations are pro-
vided for a considerable number of ex-
hibits from greenhouse builders, etc.
The red brick walls of the exhibition
halls are covered some ten feet high
with olive green paper. The tempera-
ture of the hall is excellently suited to
the purpose, keeping the flowers in the
best of shape. The facilities for un-
])acking and staging exhibits were also
greatly appreciated.

The rules required that the exhibi-
tion be complete at one o'clock on the
afternoon of Wednesday, January 24,
and in this instance there was no ex-
cuse for postponement because of snow-
bound trains carrying exhibits. The
number of blooms staged exceeds any-
thing in the history of the society and
the quality is superb, nearly all of the
exhibits having come from within a
narrow radius. The big western grow-
ers are not represented to any great ex-
tent, but the principal eastern carna-
tion establishments are in evidence
more largely than ever before and in
every instance show splendid stock.
Everyone admits that it is the best
show ever held. The Class A exhibits
include seventy vases of 100 blooms
each. There were eight entries for the
Lawson medals. As usual, some exhib-
itors suffered misfortune in the matter
of stock traveling poorly. The exhibits
of H. Weber & Sons Co. and John E.
Haines could not be staged, and Wit-
terstaetter's exhibit from Cincinnati
was not in shape to compete.

A noteworthy feature is the way in
which the old standard varieties have
l»een completely ousted. The old fa-
vorites are conspicuous by their ab-

sence. Lady Bountiful made almost
a clean sweep in the classes for white.
Enchantress was shown by more exhib-
itors than at any previous exhibition.
It is easily the leading variety of the
day.

Tlio first business session was called

[tress the city's desire to be hospitable.
Mayer E'tZ'/crald made a Avitty, felic-
itous and eloquent speecli. He spoke
of Boston's historical associations and
counseled all from beyond its border
to visit Fancuil Hall, the old South
Church, Washington chv. Concord, Lex-
ington, Bunker Hill and other points of
historic interest, from wliicli all visit-
ors go away better citizens. He spoke
of Boston's private estates, of tiio fact
that in the matter of well developed
private grounds eastern Massachusetts
leads the nation and that in commer-
cial floriculture she is in no second
place, especially considering the quality
of the product. He s])(>ke of the na-
ture study and gardening work being
done in the schools and asked that all
visitors so deport tiienisidves as to not
fall into the hands of the vigilant dis-
trict attorney. The Mayor was enthu-
siastically applanded.

E. G. Hill made a very happy reply
lo the mayor's welcome and compared
liis Jubilee, Triumph and Armazindy
carnations, which were the leading va-
rieties at the last time the Carnation
Society met in Boston, with the mag-
nificent creations of today.

to order at 8 p. m, Wednesday even-
ing, January 24. There were about 180
present. President James Wheeler, of
the Gardeners' and Florists' Club, of
Boston, welcomed the members of the
American Carnation Society and called
upon ^Mayor John F. Fitzgerald to cx-

warm welcome on behalf of the Massa-
chusetts Horticultural Society. C. W.
Ward made suitable response, saying
that as Boston is sometimes said t(> l)e
exclusive and cold, so her warm wel-
come should be a matter of all the
greater pride to the society. He said

he felt a great veneration for the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society,
which has done more than any similar
organization in America for the ad-
vancement of floriculture. President
Peter Fisher was then introduced. He
pronounced the convention the best
ever held by the American Carnation
Society and asked that all members
stay through the business sessions and
assist with their counsel. He then read
his annual report, which was as fol-
lows:

President's Address.

For the second time in its history, and
after a lapse of eleven years, the Ameri-
can Carnation Society again convenes in
ihe City of Boston.

The avowed purpose of this organiza-
tion at its inception was ' ' The Advance-
ment of the Carnation. ' '

Looking backward for a moment and
drawing a comparison between the car-
nation as groAvn eleven years ago, and
that of today, no one will deny for a
moment that the trend of improvement

discussions on the same which bring out
many points of value and interest, not
only to the general grower, but also to
those engaged in the cross-breeding and
production of new varieties, whose first
step, if they would bo successful, must be
to bring their plants up to the highest
state of cultural excellence. Then it is
simply summed up in the one word "se-
lection ' ' all the time. Prices for strictly
high-grade varieties have in some in-
stances kept pace with the best roses, un-
less with the single exception of the
American Beauty, yet I venture to pre-
dict that a carnation will yet be pro-
duced, the pioneer of a strictly fancy
strain in varied colors, that will even
rival that popular rose in size and price.
Perhaps in our haste for size we some-
times lose sight of the fact that carna-
tions are in three distinct classes: First,
strictly fancy high grade, producing
comparatively few but first quality
blooms. The commercial class produces
abundantly blooms of varied colors but
smaller in size; and those exactly inter-
mediate. Most of our popular sorts of

(President of the American Carnation Society.)

has been steadily onward and upward un-
til the carnation as a commercial com-
modity ranks second to none, owing
largely to its increased size, long keep-
ing qualities, and the beautiful and va-
ried tints of new colors constantly ap-
pearing. For this advance we are in-
debted to a better knowledge as to cul-
tural requirements obtained largely from
the many excellent papers read at our
annual meetings by growers, professors,
wholesalers and retailers, and the free

today belong to this latter class, which
produce freely high grade blooms, that
ought in my opinion to bring a better
average price, at wholesale than they do
at present. The country florists who
usually retail the smaller commercial va-
rieties at 50 cents to 75 cents per dozen
would do well to grow also some of the
better grade varieties — show their custom-
ers the difference and by degrees edu-
cate them to buying at from $1 to $2
per dozen. They would in the end prove

more satisfactory to the purchaser, and
the florist would derive more pleasure and
profit irom handling this grade of flow-
ers. Introducers of new varieties would
do well to state distinctly to which of the
foregoing classes their novelty belongs,
also giving to the purchaser information
on printed circulars with each shipment
— details as to temperature, soil, etc., to
assist him in its successful cultivation.

Phenomenal varieties rarely appear,
and when they do, our attention ought
to be directed to the discovery of cul-
tural methods whereby their vigor and
usefulness may be prolonged, instead of
constantly running after new and untried
sorts, so many times to our sorrow. The
conduct of originators who, after de-
voting much space and years to testing
a new variety, finally advertising and
booking numerous orders, representing
thousands of dollars, and who find on the
eve of dissemination that it has developed
some trait rendering it undesirable as an
acquisition, and who withdraw it are to
be very highly commended, and I am glad
to note that their number is increasing.
This is a step in the right direction. We
need more men of this class.

The most serious menace to the useful-
ness and progress of our society, in my
opinion, lies in the staging at our exhi-
bitions of varieties that have little or
no commercial value. What is good for
the advancement of or hurtful to this
society as a body must act in like man-
ner to every member as an individual.

The present date of our meeting (the
last week in January) is to my mind just
about the right time to exhibit new sorts,
as they are certain during the dull short
days of winter to develop any bad
traits they may possess. It is easy to
place on the exhibition table a variety,
to all appearances almost faultless, which
the exhibitor well knows will not stand
inspection in his greenhouses at this
season of the year. The judges must
score on this exhibit according to the
scale of points adopted by this society.
It may score very high, so that it is
awarded the trophy we all covet; viz.,
the Gold Medal. The prize list is pub-
lished in the weekly papers, and the trade
in general misled.

This prizetaker is extensively adver-
tised and thousands of dollars ' worth of
cuttings sold. A wrong has been com-
mitted and that upon many who can ill
afi"ord the loss, not only in cash paid out,
but much valuable time, and invariably
the best bench space wasted, which must
be added to the first cost, and yet our
judges did their duty well; they invaria-
bly do; they would not be human did
tuey not make an occasional mistake, but
it seldom occurs. Who was to blame f
The extremely charitable will say a ' ' lack
of good judgment," or was it the "honor
of the man?" I hope before this meet-
ing adjourns that this society will go on
record as denouncing any one who
through misrepresentation or concealment
of defect disseminates to the trade
worthless carnations.

W^hat we need in the future is dissemi-
nators with a sense of honor so fine that
they will not hesitate to place alongside
their product, to be measured by its re-
quirements, "The Golden Rule," and as
they hear the "whatsoever ye would"
ringing in their ears, not thrust it aside
as I fear is sometimes done, saying,
"This does not include me."

We would see less pointing of the
finger *f scorn at the awards of our
society; its indorsement would mean
what it should, and was intended to be.

a guarantee of excellence. A feeling of
confidence would be a natural result
amongst the trade, and the American
Carnation Society would receive an irre-
sistible impetus toward grander and
nobler work in its mission for "The
Advancement of the Carnation. ' '

The new set of by-laws for this society
will be submitted at this meeting for
your consideration and acceptance. I
trust members will make it a point to
attend all the sessions and by their
presence and counsel help to make them
what they are designed to be — mutually
lielpful. To our visiting friends and
members I would say that Boston and
vicinity has left "the latchstring out"
during your sojourn among us and we
shall endeavor to make your stay pleas-
ant and profitable.

At the conclusion of the reading of
the president's address the annual re-
port of Secretary Herr was presented,
as follows:

Secretary's Report.

The report of the last annual meeting,
a preliminary premium list, and a copy
of the by-laws as drawn up by your ex-
ecutive committee, were mailed as issued
during the year. Any paid-up members
who did not receive all of these should
write to the secretary at once and see
that their name and address gets prop-
erly entered.

Our annual report is an important part
of our work, and our discussions are im-
portant and interesting enough to be re-
ported correctly, an impossibility with a
new stenographer each meeting. What we
need is a stenographer who will be with
us year after year, who will learn to know
us, learn to know the importance of a
word missed in the middle of a discus-
sion. We now pay over $200 a year for
our report ; why not pay a little more and
have it twice as good?

Attention has been called of the mem-
bers in the premium list to the yearly ex-
penses of the society; almost $1,000 per
year.

Listen carefully to the report of your
treasurer and you will see how much of
this money has to be made up aside from

the annual membership dues. The only
available way to make this money is by
advertising in the premium list and the
entries at the shows.

This matter of advertisements is an
important one to the society and every
member who has anything to advertise
should use the premium list; it may not
bring direct results but it does give pub-
licity at a very nominal figure, and pub-
licity before the members of the Ameri-
can Carnation Society is a paying invest-
ment.

Occasionally in meeting a fellow-mem-
ber the conversation drifts to the work of
this society, and the question is asked,
"Why do you not do this and why do
you not do that?" If any member has
an idea of any kind for the betterment
of the society and its work, and will put
this idea into writing and send it to the
secretary at any time during the year, a
great amount of practical work could be
done that escapes the attention of the offi-
cers. Try this for 1906 and begin right
now with the question box at this meet-
ing.

We are a live practical society but we
need the assistance of every member, in
order to keep the work up to the top
notch of perfection we hope to attain.

Following the reading of the secre-
tary's report, which was accepted, the
report of Treasurer Dorner was read
and accepted. It was as follows:

At the Wednesday evening session a
paper was read by Prof, H. F. Hall,
of Durham College, Durham, N. H. Tfi'e

subject was "Carnation Breeding." A
synopsis of the paper appears elsewhere
in this issue.

Discussion on the paper was opened
by C. W. Ward, who described his
methods of crossing. He recommended
the use of a card index for all seed-
lings, to carefully consider ancestors
of all flowers used in crossing. He ad-
vised the use of two pinks to secure a
good pink; use yellow to intensify
color. He fertilizes from early October
to early December, and from the end
of January to the middle of March.
He likes all seeds to be ripe by May.
R. Witterstaetter said that he fertilizes
from the end of December to the end
of February, Mr. Ward emphasized the
importance of using healthy plants in
crossing, especially those not overfed.
On motion of Mr. Hill, Prof. Hall was
given a vote of thanks.

The report of the judges was then
read. It was as follows:

The Awards.

Invitations.

Following the report of the judges,
invitations were received from the
, 'cnnsylvania Horticultural Society for
• 907 and from the Washington Flo-
rists' Club for 1908. J. H. Dunlop re-
minded the society of its implied prom-
ise to meet in Toronto in 1907 and re-
newed the invitation, backed by the
mayor and several horticultural socie-
; ics. President Fisher said a word in
hehalf of Toronto.

Nominations.

The nomination of officers for 1907
hoiug in order, E. G. Hill nominated
.1. H. Dunlop, of Toronto, as a man of
sterling worth. There were no other
jiominations for president. For vice-
president, Wm. Gammage, of London,
was nominated, and W. J. Palmer, of
liufEalo. Secretary Herr and Treasurer
Dorner were renominated.

Thursday's Session.

The judges, Nicholson, Valentine and
Dailledouze, made a final report men-
tioning numerous special exhibits.

The papers of J. A. Valentine and
Thomas Galvin were presented, the
former being one of the best ever read
before the society. Both are printed in
full in this issue.

Kasting, O'Mara, Hartshorne and
Ilauswirth were appointed committee on
final resolutions.

The matter of registering and certifi-
cating sports provoked warm debate,
which included certificating varieties
afterward found to be commercially of
little value. This was referred to a com-
mittee consisting of Ward, Pierson and
Valentine. On Pierson 's motion it
^vas voted that no final certificate be
given any variety until a committee has
inspected the growing plants.

Vice-president J. H. Dunlop presided
at the opening of the afternoon ses-
sion, called to order at 3:15. A. J. Gutt-
man presented his paper, published in
full in this issue. He received close at-
tention and a vote of thanks. The new
by-laws were taken up and adopted after
'liscussion, principally on the question of
initiation fee and annual dues. It was
lecided to leave them as at present, $2,
in spite of the society's urgent need of
increased revenue. Life membership
money goes to the pelinanent fund.

The special committee appointed to
oousider the subject recommended abol-
ishing the present certificate system, also
the Lawson medals and substituting car-
nation society's medals. Referred.

Election.

Toronto was the unanimous choice for
meeting place in 1907. J. H. Dunlop,
A. M. Herr and F. E. Dorner were with-
out contestants but Hill and O'Mara
^vere appointed to conduct the balloting
for vice-president. W. J. Palmer, of
Buffalo, was elected, receiving every vote
<ast. Eugene Dailledouze was elected
director for five years. Wm. Scott was
'■iected judge.

The Banquet.

More than 200 were present at the
banquet at the Copley Square Hotel on
Thursday evening. Judge Hoitt, of

'William Nicholson.
(One of the jiidpes of the American Carnation Society.)

Nashua, was toastmaster. The decora-
tions were fine and many ladies were
present.

Convention Committees.

The following committees from the
Boston Gardeners' and Florists' Club
and flower markets did much useful work
and great credit is due them for their
successful handling of the numerous de-
tails :

Reception committee: William Nichol-
son, chairman; Thos. F. Matthews, E.
Allen Peirce, ^I. A. Patten, Robert
Montgomery, D. Carmichael, Wm. Sim,
S. J. Goddard and Patrick Welch.

Printing and selling tickets and in-
vitations to exhibitions: J. W. Duncan,
chairman ; Peter Fisher, Wm. Nicholson,
David Lumsden, Alexander Montgomery,
Patrick Welch, J. K. M. L. Farquhar
and Edward Wood.

Decorating banquet hall: Patrick
Welch, chairman; T. F. Matthews, D.
Carmichael, S. J. Goddard and W. H.
Elliott.

Arrangement of exhibition hall: Ed-
ward Wood, chairman; Peter Fisher and
E. Allen Peirce.

On banquet speakers and invited
guests : J. A. Pettigrew, chairman ; J.
K. M. L. Farquhar and William Nichol-
son.

On music: J. K. L. M. Farquhar,
chairman; T. H. Westwood and J. A.
Pettigrew.

James Wheeler was chairman of the
general committee and ex-oflScio of all
committees.

A Retrospect.

It is interesting to refer back to the
previous convention held in Boston, on
February 21 and 22, 1895, and compare
the varieties of that day with those seen
at the present exhibition.

At the 1895 show, only the fourth of
its kind held, the cut flowers were staged
in one of the halls at the old Horticul-
tural building on Tremont street, the
other hall being used for the business
sessions. Weather conditions were, then
as now, almost ideal. Prizes for the best
100 blooms in 1895 went as follows:
Alaska, white; Wm. Scott, light pink;
Jubilee, scarlet; Tidal Wave, dark pink;
F. Mangold, crimson ; Buttercup, yel-
low; Minnie Cook, variegated. For fifty
blooms the awards were: Storm King,
white; William Scott, light pink; Jubi-
lee, scarlet; Meteor, crimson; Bouton
d'Or, yellow, an<l Helen Keller, varie-
gated. The last named variety won a
special prize for th<^ best vase in the
exhibition.

Some other noteworthy varieties shown
at this meeting wore Armazindy and Tri-
umph from E. G. Hill Co., Lena Saling,
Dean Hole, Delia Fox, Bridesmaid,
Nicholson, Lizzie McGowan, Hector and
Daybreak. Practically every sort named
is now merely a memory. While re-
markable advances were made in the
quality of blooms shown as compared
with 1895, we think the yellow chiss con-
tained flowers very little better than
Southworth 's Buttercup of o\ or a dec-
ailo ago.

CARNATION BREEDING.

in H. F. HAIJi, DIKHAM, N. H.

[Si-nopsis of a paper read before the American
Carnation Society at tlie Boston meeting, Janu-
ary 24, ISKiC.I

The raetliod of crossing which has
given us the best results is as follows:
Selected plants of the varieties to be used
in crossing are benched about August 1
in order to have them well established
and blooming freely by October 15, at
which time we begin the work of cross-
ing and continue until about December 1.
This season is selected for several rea-
sons: More favorable weather than later;
greater freedom in the production of
pollen; plants are then strong while
later they are often weakened through
production and attacks of insects and
diseases. Another reason often advanced
is that at this season there is less danger
of an undesirable mixing of pollen by
bees and flies, but in our experience such
fertilizing of the carnation very sel-
dom if ever occurs at any season of the
year.

Some varieties never produce pollen,
others only during fall and spring, while
some are productive in this respect at
all seasons. By growing in pots and
keeping rather dry we have obtained
pollen during the winter months from va-
rieties which refused to do so when
grown in a commercial way. Select for
parents the most promviing plants of the

Uses Blotting Paper.

I have received best results in using
for this purpose a strip of ordinary
blotting paper three or more inches long
and about one-half inch in width, one
end being cut with scissors to resemble
a sharpened pencil, the point of which
is slightly fluffed to enable it to take
up and hold the grains of pollen until
lightly rubbed over the stigmatic sur-
face of the pistil. By this method we
have been successful in setting over
ninety per cent of all flowers worked and
requiring very little pollen, none being
wasted as in other ways. This method
is original with us so far as I am aware.

From 10 a. m. until 2 p. m. on bright
sunny days and a fairly dry well venti-
lated house, are ideal conditions fgr pol-
lenating. If the operation is successful
the petals will wilt in from one to three
days, soon after which a part of the
calyx should be torn down to allow
the nectar to drain off, which if allowed
to remain would develop a fungus growth
and destroy the ovary. The seed pod
should remain on the plant about eight
weeks or until the seeds are brown, when
they may be gathered with their stems
and put away in a dry place for a short
time to ripen. A good time to plant is
from January 15 to February 15.

Carnation breeding is yet in its in-
fancy. The leading varieties of today
will be little grown ten years hence;

varieties to be used. If the flower se-
lected for female or seed bearing parent
contains stamens they should be removed
with forceps or tweezers as soon as the
flower opens or before the anthers show
the pollen, otherwise self fertilization
may take place. In most varieties the
pollen matures before the stigma is ripe,
thus eliminating much of the danger of
self fertilization. When the pistil is re-
ceptive, which condition is indicated by
the development of the stigmatic hairs,
the pollen may be applied by the aid of
a camel 's hair brush or dusted on from
the male flower.

what the type of that time will be no
one can tell.

The object of crossing is to combine
the good qualities of both parents in the
progeny. This combination, however, is
seldom obtained, but by knowing the
pedigree of each of the parents used
the lireeder should be able to produce the
type desired by growing a large number
cf seedlings from which to select.

I Old Faults in Offspring.

After breeding out of a variety cer-
tain undesirable traits by selection, and
using this variety as a parent in mak-

ing a cross, we often find the old hidden
faults very much in evidence in the off-
spring. "When the inherent forces of two
plants unite in a cross, a struggle for
supremacy takes place, whereby the fixed
or constant characters are set free, to
gather again in the progeny in various
combinations of form, color, etc. As
no two plants of the same variety are
exactly alike, it is very important that
a careful selection be made and that a
large number of plants be available from
which to select the parents for crossing.
Some varieties have unknown or hidden
qualities ; for instance, the color character
of a flower is often compound when it
appears to be simple.

In breeding we often look upon a
plant as a unit when it really com-
prises a large number of traits or char-
acters. The longer we work in a random
way the more puzzling becomes the ques-
tion of inheritance and cross breeding
to one in search of definite results. We
should seek a better knowledge of the
laws of plant breeding as at present
we are groping in the dark so far as a
knowledge of past results is concerned.

I would suggest that all information
obtainable upon this subject be collected
by this society to be published from year
to year in its report, from which con-
clusions could be drawn to be used as a
foundation for future work, thus enab-
ling us to slowly advance in the knowl-
edge of the laws which underlie the
breeding of this plant.

CARNATIONS IN THE ROCKIES.

BY J. A. VALENTINE, DENVER, CULO.

[A paper read before the American Carnation
Society at the Boston meeting, January 25, 1906.1

Most of you who attend these conven-
tions are conversant with the methods
and conditions prevailing among carna-
tion growers in general, but Chicago has
probably been your western horizon, be-
yond which there has been little to in-
duce investigation. The success or fail-
ure of any industry must be the result
of the conditions met with, together with
the efforts made to counteract or profit
by them, as the case may be; and cli-
mate, together with soil and water, are
the chief natural conditions to be con-
sidered by the florist. Other factors
that make for success or failure are the
transportation facilities (the distance
that can be covered before flowers suffer
severely in transit) ; the population with-
in these transit limits; the ability and
the disposition of this population to buy
flowers, and the competition from within
and without.

It is true that an overwhelmingly
large proportion of the carnation busi-
ness of the country is carried on in those
states within a thousand miles of the
Atlantic coast, yet beyond Chicago lies
a territory of equal extent, which must
be crosesd and left behind before one
reaches the eastern limits of the Eocky
Mountain region. It is quite the com-
mon thing to admit that a grower will
be handicapped by differences in soil
and climate if he moves from England to
Masachusetts, or from the Atlantic to
Ohio or Indiana; yet the difference in
conditions between any of these points is
not so great as between either of these
localities and the Rocky Mountain re-
gion. Except in a few limited areas the
whole of this country east of Kansas and

when we come to the Eocky Mountains
we find a territory over 1,500 miles long
from north to south, and averaging 500
miles in width, with very few points
less than 4,000 feet above the sea.

An Arid Region.

The air is dry, the rainfall meagre and
the sunlight brilliant. In short, the whole
region is arid, and ordinary farm crops
cannot be produced without artificial
irrigation. It is almost impossible to
convey by words an adequate idea of the
drying effect of the air of this region.
One must actually have seen and experi-
enced the thing to be able to appreciate
it. When I say that the annual rainfall
of this region averages about ten or
twelve inches and that the rainfall here
in Massachusetts or in Indiana is four
times that, you will not get an adequate
conception of the difference. After a
rain here your humid air prevents rapid
evaporation, while with us nature at once
proceeds to rob the soil of that which
she has just bestowed, so that an inch
of rain is not so effective as here. Dews
and fogs are rare, almost unknown, ex-
cept on mountain peaks which are storm
centers as they are everywhere. To me
one of the most striking evidences of the
drying effect of the air is the fact that
a man exercising in the hot sun of sum-
mer will seldom feel his underclothing
cling to his body, the evaporation being
rapid enough to nearly offset his per-
spiration. The temperature records of
the weather bureau would make it ap-
pear that Denver and Indianapolis have
about the same mean temperature both
for July and for January, and that the
highest and lowest recorded temperature
is nearly alike for both places; but owing
to the dry air Denver has a great ad-
vantage in what is known as the "sensi-
ble temperature" both in hot weather
and in winter. What I have said regard-
ing the climate applies equally well to
the whole of the arid region of which the
Rocky Mountain country is but a part.

The natural growth of vegetation
throughout this whole region is very
scanty except upon the high mountains,
and even there one will not find any-
thing approaching the riotous growth to
be encountered on such mountains as the
coast ranges of Oregon and Washington.
There are pines, to be sure, and spruce,
especially on the northern slopes, but the
general 'appearance justifies the name
given to the range. The plains or high
plateaus are covered with a very scanty
growth of grass in little bunches, widely
separated, and ior ten months in the
year these are brown and have a dead
appearance. Owing to tte fact that there
is little moisture, the dead grasses do
not rot and add to the soil from which
they grew, but they wither and desiccate
and seem to vanish into nothingness.

Soils Related to Climate.

I have gone into this matter at some
length because I believe that soils are
closely related to climate ; in fact, largely
the result of climate, and I have prepared
you to understand that in many ways our
soils must differ from the soils of the
east and of the lake region. Frost and
wind are steadily carrying on the work
that they have been doing for ages, but
the work of all these is mainly mechani-
cal and the result must be largely min-
eral. The vegetable elements, the fibre
and the humus, are sadly lacking. In a
great many localities mineral salts are
present in such quantity as to render the
soil unfit for greenhouse use, and in some

J. A. Valentine.

cases it is barren even in the field. We
are apt to say that such soils contain
' * alkali, ' ' without any thought or knowl-
edge as to the exact nature of tlic harm-
ful element. My obser^'ation has been
that the rose is more resentful of the
presence of these salts than the carna-
tion. I am not personally sure of its
truth, but it is commonly reported that
for lack of suitable soil and water, roses
cannot be successfully grown under glass
in the vicinity of Salt Lake City.

As the character of the soil is largely
determined by the climate, so too is the
character of the water largely determined
by the soil of the region through which
it runs. In nearly all the arid region
except in the strictly mountainous por-
tions, the water is alkaline. In some
sections it is so bad that neither man
nor beast can use it to drink, and vege-
tation suffers from contact with it; while
in other cases only the test of the chem-
ist shows the presence of any deleteri-
ous substance.

Character of Soils.

Where the soil is decomposed shale, it
is generally heavy and known as
"adobe," a clay heavy enough from
which to make sun-dried bricks. This
soil, when dried by the sun after a rain,
will open great cracks an inch or more
in width and a great many feet in length.
It is needless to say that it would not

produce good results in a carnation
bench, but it does yield good crops for
the farmer who understands how to cul-
tivate and irrigate it. This heavy adobe
is at one extreme, and we find all grades
of soil differing in texture up to sand
and gravel. In some parts of the moun-
tains we have enormous deposits of red
sandstone, and the soil adjacent will be a
bright red sandy loam which yields excel-
lent crops in the field, but lacks the
necessary substance for use in the bench.

Within a small area, soils of very differ-
ent character can often be found, and not
infrequently the topography will indicate
different rock formations as the source
from which they came, but almost with-
out exception there will be the same lack
of vegetable matter. This lack is one
which can measurably be supplied so far
as the chemistry of the soil is concerned,
but the texture of the soil cannot be as
satisfactorily corrected. During the win-
ter the carnations require a thorough
watering once or twice a week and I
think all growers in our section will
agree with me in saying that we have
been unable to find a soil that will endure
this heavy watering throughout a season
in the bench without becoming packed
and soggy, unless it is a soil so sandy
that it will not produce a good crop.

It is to be hoped that we may learn
something to our advantage from the
scientific soil investigations now being

conducted by the Department of Agri-
culture aud the various experiment sta-
tions. Certainly all of us have much to
learn and our progress is so slow as to
be disheartening.

Advantages in Arid Region.

When we come to consider the matter
of propagation, I am inclined to think
that the iiorist in the arid region has sev-
eral advantages over his eastern brother,
but the advantages are not all on one
side. When the cuttings are taken, the
parent plants have been growing in
bright sunlight and the foliage is crisp
and erect. The plants have not had to
struggle through weeks of cloudy
weather with the snow on the roof j)er-
haps for days at a time. I think I have
never seen our houses darkened by snow
more than two days in succession, and
probabl}^ not more than half a dozen
times in ten years. But when the cut-
tings are taken from the plant, the dry
air immediately begins to attack them
and they must be put into sand promptly
or they are ruined. After they are in

sweet air must be provided, yet the least
draught means death to the cuttings be-
fore they have roots to replace evapora-
tion. Often in winter the temperature
of the air in the house will run too high,
and ventilation must be given. In mild
winters like the present one the bright
sun on the glass raises tlie temperature
too high, and when air is given, the dry
wind (lutside rushes in and does its fatal
work.

Early in October last we had a light
fall of snow, which quickly disappeared,
and not until January 7 did any more
moisture fall. The benches have been
sliielded from draughts by curtains, and
every precaution taken, yet the story is
the same on every place — ' ' Our carna-
tions are not rooting well." Had the
winter been a severe one, with cold
weatlier and frequent light falls of snow,
tiie results would have been very different.

Considerable trouble is at times ex-
perienced with stem-rot and cutting bed
fungus, but I think not to the same
extent as in localities farther east.

Some of you will probauly think me

the sand they must be watered, generally
once a day and often twice. A low
house is the most satisfactory for propa-
gating because artificial humidity can be
created. Cloth curtains under the glass
and in front of the bench help to prevent
wilting. I do not think propagating
could be successfully carried on in high,
airy houses such as one sees in use in the
vicinity of Chicago and elsewhere. Clean

mentally unbalanced when I say that
Avhile sunshine and dry air are fatal to
fungi, they do not tend to promote lux-
uriant growth in anything unless it may
be a cactus or some other plant whose
natural habitat is the arid region. Yet
stop and consider as to what countries
produce what we are accustomed to speak
of as a luxuriant growth of vegetation,
and vour mind will revert to a climate

with frequent rainfalls and a humid at-
mosphere. I hope I may be pardoned
for again referring to roses in a meet-
ing of carnationists but they seem to
forcibly illustrate some of the points I
wish to emphasize. I have never seen
more than three or four really bad cases
of black spot on Beauties in Colorado,
and they were probably due to careless-
ness, for it is a trouble that we have not
learned to dread as you do here. So
much must be placed to the credit of
these drying influences but they tend to
ripen each shoot too quickly and induce
too quick setting of the bud, with wood
close jointed and wiry. I think I am
safe in saying that every progressive
florist in the arid region grows his tea
roses grafted on Manetti, because this
tends to make a more rapid growth, a
longer and a heavier stem.

Start Early in Propagating.

During the period when the young car-
nations are in pots they make but a slow
growth and this compels us to start
early in propagating, as the young stock
must have a longer time in which to
make plants of suitable size for field
planting. Our late frosts compel us to
wait until about May 10 before planting
in the field. Some plant out by May 1,
taking chances on a heavy frost in order
to gain time, and I must admit that
some of the young plants endure a pret-
ty severe frost without permanent in-
jury. The tips of the leaves suffer, but
no permanent damage is done; in fact,
if the frost is only a very light one, it
seems a positive benefit, checking the
soft growth and inducing the plants to
break more freely. Before planting is
begun the field must have a thorough
soaking, either from surface ditches or
with the hose, and after planting we
generally water with a lawn sprinkler
every night while the plants are in the
field. With plenty of water and a rea-
sonably good soil the plants make a
healthy growth in the field, though they
do not attain great size. The days are
hot and sunny, but if well watered, the
plants do not flag, and at night the air
is cool and refreshing. It is not uncom-
mon for the mercury to drop to 50 de-
grees or even to 45 degrees at night, fol-
lowing a day temperature of 90 degrees
in the shade, and the carnations seem
to enjoy this.

Should the plants escape the hail
storms which scnnetimes nearly ruin them,
they ought to bo of satisfactory size by
the first or middle of August. Lifting
from the field and replanting in the
houses is the operation requiring the
most care of anything during the life of
the plant, and plants of moderate size
endure the transplanting better than very
large ones. Those that were grown in
pots prior to field planting endure the
removal from the field to the bench much
better than those that were grown in
flats.

The custom of preparing the soil for
the benches a long time in advance does
not prevail very generally, and beyond
insuring a thorough mixing by frequent
turning, there is not much to be gained
by it. Where soil piles are wet through
by frequent rains, there is a constant
change going on and the component parts
are blended by the rotting or fermenta-
tion; but where the pile is dry, the mass
is inert. We are compelled to use manure
with caution, because age does not
seem to render it harmless to the same
extent that it does in sections visited by
frequent rains.

Iron-frame Carnation House at the Establishment of the F. R. Pierson Co,, Tarrytown, N. Y.

(This house shelters 20,000 v>laiits. Carnation Winsor occupies three lu'ds in the foreground.)

Before beginning our planting we
shade the house heavily with mud, close
all ventilation and Avet down the walks
and under the benches. When all is ready
the plants are brought from the field
with all the soil that will cling to them
and transferred to the bench as quickly
as possible. The house is kept abso-
lutely without ventilation for the first
two or three days, and the plants are
frequently syringed. The walks and the
ground under tlie benches are kept
drenched and everything possible done to
prevent wilting. As soon as it seems
safe, a little ventilation is given, geuer-
allj' starting at night, and the shade
gradually removed. Within ten days
the house is having full light and venti-
lation. As the plants grow and produce
blooms, it liecomes apparent that the
stems are not as long or as heavy as pro-
duced by the same varieties in eastern
sections. The flowers are apt to come
more nearly up to standard than the
'^tems. This tendency of the stem is so
pronounced that, individually, I now make
it a rule not to buy any novelty, no
matter how attractive, unless it has a
decidedly strong stem. The bright sun
'^eems to produce high color in the flower,
though some of the pinks fade badly
nnless shaded.

Among Colorado growers there seems
^0 be a disposition to try the promising
new sorts as they are ambitious to have
the best. Those whose business it is to
disseminate new varieties will, I hope,
l^ardon me for calling their attention to
■1 few facts. Our section is so remote
that not many of us can spare the time
"r the money to inspect new varieties
before dissemination and we must depend
largely upon what you say in your ad-
vertisements. A great many letters of a
''emi-confidential nature are written by
you to induce sales — letters intended to

jnit you in close personal relations with
tiie grower. The confidence thus en-
gendered is the western goose and the
crop of golden eggs is one whose loss
you would deplore. You may have the
fullest faith in a resurrection after
death, but if you once kill this valuable
Udose it will stay dead a long time.
St\idy carefully then the special needs
of this section and be sure you have
!jo(i(l reason before you urge a purchase.
WiioM you have made a sale, bear in
.niind that the journey is a long one and
that when first potted, a rooted cutting
in the Rockies has a hard struggle for
('xistence. It is useless to ship cuttings
to that section unless they are well root-
ed, and extra care should be taken to
see that they do not dry out in transit.
Show a disposition to advance our inter-
ests as well as your own and you will
find that we are an appreciative lot.

Some Good Carnations.

I think that but two carnations have
come to us in recent years that have
demonstrated their ability to ])roduce
good flowers with strong stems in satis-
factory quantities as grown by the aver-
age florist. These two are Mrs. Thos. W.
Tiawson and Enchantress, and the florists
of the Rocky ^Mountain region all take off
their hats to Peter Fisher. White
Tiawson is just as satisfactory as the
original pink, but the short stem early
in tlic season is an objection to both.
Harlowarden has been quite satisfactory
but the demand for that color is small,
l-'iancee has proved a wonderfully fine
grower and blooms freely, but she has
been on one protracted "bust" since
October, and unless she mends her ways
we will refuse to give her lodging next
year.

The region we arc considering includes
an area about as large as ninety states

the size of Massachusetts, yet the latter
has nearly twice as many people and
six times as much glass within her bor-
ders as are contained in all this vast
region. Denver is now but forty-two
years old and is about one-third the size
of Boston ; Salt Lake is about the size of
Springfield; Butte and Pueblo about as
large as Holyoke; Colorado Springs and
Ogden will compare with Fitchburg,
while Cheyenne, Wyoming, Helena and
Great Falls in Montana, Leadville and
Cripple Creek in Colorado are in size be-
tween such cities as Pittsfield and New-
buryport in this state. By the census
of 1900, there were only twenty-two
cities and towns in the Rocky Moun-
tains with a population of 5,000 or over,
while Massachusetts had nearly eighty
in the list.

The last census showed that Colorado
had more than two-thirds of the glass in
the mountain region and since then two
or three important places have been
erected. Important additions have also
been made at Salt Lake and at Butte.
Sm.all establishments with from 1,000
to 5,000 feet of glass have been started
at many points in the mountains and I
look for a still further increase in places
of that kind. A town of 2,000 or
3,000 inhabitants, Avith small mining
camps tributary to it and within easy
access by rail,' may very well offer in-
ducements to the young man looking for
an opportunity to start in a small way.

A Long Distance Business.

At ])resent in our own establishment,
in Denver, we have ledger accounts with
more than a thousand people scattered
;;ll over the mountain country. There is
hanlly a day in the year tha't we do not
send retail orders to places from 300
to ;"00 miles distant; and on
holidays, especially before Memorial dav,

626

these express puckages go out literally
by the wagon load. Oftentimes theso
orders come in by telephone from some
mining camp hundreds of miles away
on the opposite side of the mountains.
We must be in a position to know as far
as possible the financial standing of the
people scattered over this wide area, and
keep the information so readily accessi-
ble that we can look up a man's credit
while he holds the long distance tele-
phone at so much per minute. This is
made possible by index cards which show
at a glance what experience if any we
have had and also the reports as to credit
received from other sources.

This long distance business will even-
tually be reduced by the establishment
of small places such as I have just re-
ferred to. But a wise man changes his
method with changing conditions and
we hope to then sell enough in other
ways to offset this loss. At any rate, Ave
will always welcome any man who comes
among us and demonstrates his ability
to succeed by honorable methods.

No Wholesale Houses.

There is no wholesale commission
house within the region we are discuss-
ing. Two or three earnest attempts havo
been made in that direction but they
have all failed.

Some flowers are shipped into our ter-
ritory from outside. Kansas City sends
a very limited amount to New Mexico,
while Minneapolis and St. Paul ship
rather largely to Montana. Ten years
ago Chicago found a good market in
L»enver but that time is past. Our real
competition comes from Council Bluffs,
half way between Denver and Chicago.
Without any direct information, I am
inclined to think the long distance trade
of that point is gradually being secured

concerning the prices we obtain. In
Denver they will average fairly well
with prices in eastern cities. We never
are compelled to accept the very low
prices that sometimes obtain at eastern
points, but at holiday seasons our high-
est prices are decidedly lower than your
highest prices.

Fairy tales are told of miners with
suddenly acquired wealth who spend their
money lavishly; but in such cases they
are apt to patronize those places that
carry their stock in bottles instead of
vases. A few drinks often create a tem-
porary disregard of expense and a fond-
ness for bright colors but this is not
the result of climate and the effect is no
more noticeable in Denver or Butte than
it is in Boston or Chicago.

As a general thing the man who has
acquired wealth by his own labor does
not spend his money freely for luxuries;
neither is he apt to consider flowers as
necessities. It is generally the second
wealthy generation who consider our
products necessary to their existence, and
as our country is ne»w we must wait for
time to bring this class of customers.
In the meantime we make up for their
lack by the absence of the extremely
poor. Abject poverty and destitution are
rare in the mountain region.

A WHOLESALER'S VIEWPOINT.

BY ALEXANDER J. GUTTMAX NEW VOKK.

[A paper read before the American Carnation
Society at the Boston meeting, January 25,
1SH)6.]

You know it is said, that some are
born great, others achieve greatness, and
etill others have greatness thrust upon
them. It seems to me that I am among
the last mentioned ; but I assure you that
I fully appreciate the honor accorded me,
in being given the privilege of present-

by Colorado florists, who have the ad-
vantage of the shorter haul; and that
Council Bluffs is finding not only com-
pensation but inclosed demand in mar-
kets nearer home, just as I have pre-
dicted must happen to us in Colorado
in our turn. We trust we may be able
to meet the changing situation with like
success.

I think a wrong impression prevails

ing a paper at this national gathering
of such a representative body of our
craft. I shall endeavor to give you the
result of my observation and experi-
ence with the carnation from the whole-
saler's viewpoint.

The history of the carnation, the di-
vine flower as we so fondly term it, you
are fully acquainted with from the time
when it was an insignificant item on the

florist's counter, until the present when
it is almost the commercial equal of the
rose.

It is an entirely new feature I be-
lieve, to ask a wholesaler to speak be-
fore a representative body of growers
such as is assembled here. I am glad
of this opportunity, however, as the
growers' interests and the wholesalers'
interests are so closely linked that it is
imperative that we come together occa-
sionally and exchange views on trade in-
terests, if we would have the best re-
sults from our labors.

Of course, I cannot talk to you intelli-
gently about carnations from the grow-
er's point of view; that is out of the
question, but I may, perhaps, be able
to interest you for a few moments in
dealing with the subject from the whole-
saler's point of view.

An Important Item.

The carnation has become of great im-
portance to the flower trade, and there
is no doubt in my mind that this condi-
tion has been brought about mainly
through the work of the American Car-
nation Society. The fact that although
there is kee* competition among car-
nation growers, the fact that they so welT
understand the principles of business and
pull together on all matters that may
be, or are, of benefit to the greatest
number, has made the society what it is.
The impetus given to the raising of new
varieties can be justly claimed as the
fruit of this society's work, and it is
through the many new and improved
varieties, well grown and liberally ex-
hibited, throughout the country by the
members, thereby being placed before
the public, that has given the divine
flower the prominent place it holds to-
day with the people of the United States,
Canada and Europe.

As I am only to speak of the carnation
from the wholesaler's point of view, I
can leave the question of its popularity
with the public on one side; as that is
a subject that could be better handled
by a retail dealer, and which has been
very ably dealt with by Thos. P. Galvin.

Carnations today are a staple feature
in the market, the supply being continu-
ous all the year around. I might also
add that they are a somewhat diflScult
crop to handle, as their keeping quali-
ties are so variable. Some varieties have
excellent lasting powers and others, as
you are all aware, are not very good
keepers, and the wholesaler has to fa-
miliarize himself with the peculiarities
of each variety in regard to its good
and bad qualities. Perhaps I should ex-
plain more fully. Suppose I had an
order for 500 each, of pink and white
carnations to be shipped to a point that
required an over-night journey on the
ears; well, I do not want to mention any
particular variety, but you know as well
as I do that there are several of our com-
mercial sorts, which, although they are
excellent for home trade, will not bear
reshipping to any great distance.

Another fact that I should like to
draw your attention to, is that with the
gradual improvement taking place in
carnations, it is becoming harder all the
time for the wholesaler to handle the
smaller varieties to advantage. There-
fore I would recommend, that growers
use their very best judgment in select-
ing for their stock to grow only the best
varieties, such as are generally termed
fancies, as these find quick buyers. I
would also recommend that the whole-
salers give their candid opinion of the

The Weekly Rorists' Review.

627

selling and keeping qualities of any
new varieties that are being introduced.
Orowers throughout the country, should
also write to the wholesalers in that
particular section where new carnations
are being distributed, for their opinion.
I think it would to a great extent pre-
vent growers from buying undesirable
varieties.

Give Wholesalers Fresh Stock.

Another feature: See that your flow-
ers reach the wholesaler in as perfect
condition as possible. You have spent
your time and energy in growing them,
yet all these efforts are for naught if
the packing and shipping are not at-
tended to with the proper care. The
wholesaler wants good stock fresh and
carefully handled, and the name of the
carnation is not by itself a salable as-
set.

The stiff-stemmed varieties should be
tied as low as possible in bunching, so
as to let the flowers spread nicely, and
they will then show up well. The fewer
flowers in the bunch the better they will
carry for shipment to the wholesaler,
and twenty-five should be the most put in
a bunch.

Should your facilities for shipping be
such that, for instance, you can deliver
stock to the wholesaler by wagon; or
when they are choice varieties, then I
would advise to pack the carnations in
boxes, in layers; of course these should
not be bunched. I need not go on to ex-
plain how they should be packed, for
that point has been covered before and
you know I must make my paper as
brief as possible.

Growers should systematize their pick-
ing, bunching, packing and shipping, as
well as possible. For it all helps
to ^ve satisfaction to the wholesaler,
retailer and general, flower-buying public.

It is a fact that there are not so
many early and small grades of chrysan-
themums grown throughout the country
as heretofore. Tor that reason I should
thmk that varieties of carnations that
• could be brought in crop in good shape
during the fall, should prove profitable
to the grower, as good prices can be OD-
tained for them. Fancy scarlets that
could be brought in heavy crop for De-
cember are profitable to grow.

Another question which seems to me
very important, is how best to keep
carnations after they are cut; and in
my opinion this is an important ques-
tion for the American Carnation Society
to solve. The wholesaler at most times
through the season, has to display the
stock for at least three hours; although
at certain times of the year the blooms
are really sold before they come in.
Then they are promptly repacked and
transferred to the retailer; but when it
IS necessary to display the stock, and the
same is grown perhaps a little soft, and
perhaps not picked at just the proper
time, as is often the case with growers
who do not pick daily; in that case I
tell you, the wholesaler is up against it,
as we would say, when making his re-
turns to the growers.

For System of Grading.

I think we ought to have a better sys-
tem of grading. We would not require
so many distinctive grades as is given
to roses, but to keep the poorer flowers
separate would certainly be a good idea,
for it often happens that a retailer when
buying carnations, say, he has an order
for 25, 50 or more, of a certain variety,
and in picking up the bunch finds one or

Carnation Aristocrat.

two poor flowers, he soon puts that bunch
back; for he will tell you that the
flower buyer detects a poor flower quick-
ly. The first class retailer would not think
of sending his customers poor flowers,
and besides we do not want to do any-
thing that will tend to discourage the
flower buying public; indeed, no; we
want to encourage exhibitions and flower
shows and educate the flower buying
public as much as we can and as fast
as we can.

When the retailer can depend upon a
certain grower's stock and knows that
it is carefully bunched and carefully
sorted, it is an advantage to him for it
saves time, and invariably he will be
glad to pay a little more for this grow-
er's stock, and I need not explain fur-
ther the advantage to the grower, whole-
.saler and retailer. Therefore I recom-
mend that the growers make two grades;
the seconds should be sold as such, and
there is enough demand to clear up the
small amount of second grade stock that
may come into the market. I know some
growers who have for several years
graded number 1 's and number 2 's, and
it would be a great thing if every grower
julopted the same plan.

Ship Regularly.

I believe it is to the best interests of
us all, for the grower to have the fullest
confidence in his wholesaler, and to con-
sign his flowers regularly, and not to hold
them back for special occasions. I know

tliat this is a delicate subject and I ap-
proach it only after due consideration,
w'e can understand that in years gone
by, when there were no flowering plants
grown for the Christmas and Easter
holidays, there was something to be
gained by keeping every flower possible
tor the holiday sale, when flowers were
scarce and prices went soaring upward.
Those times, gentlemen, are a thing of
the past, because flowering plants and
plants of all kinds play a prominent part
at holiday time, and such has been the
case in the past five years, anyway, in
the section of the country that I hail
from.

There is no more scarcity such as there
used to be at holiday time, the increase
ill glass has done away with that fea-
ture of the holiday business considerably.
Ship your flowers when they are ready;
of course you should hold back just a
little, as the normal increase in demand
requires that you do so; but you should
use careful judgment in picking and
keeping the flowers, etc. For instance,
take Easter Sunday; suppose a whole-
saler has an order to ship carnations to
reach the retailer the day before, which
will be Saturday morning. These car-
nations must leave the wholesaler's es-
tablishment on Friday, and if the grower
has had these picked much before Thurs-
day, it is not likely that they will give
satisfaction to the retailer or to hia
customer. So in holding back try to
govern your picking so that flowers will

not have been cut too long. The whole-
saler of today is equipped with cold stor-
age facilities, and he can hold the stock
if necessary, or sell it at once if that
is best; and being in the market, he can
take advantage of the conditions that
may arise much better than he could if
the grower has the flowers in his own
cellar. I have seen carnations, say,
right before a holiday, which, although
they looked grand in the grower's cel-

FROM A RETAILER'S VIEWPOINT.

lar, were not salable three hours after
reaching the wholesaler's establishment.

On High Prices.

I would like to say a few words on
high prices. Often the growers put it
up to the wholesalers, especially during
the winter season, to explain why prices
are high today and low tomorrow. My
experience has taught me that when
prices are too high, tliat is, too high for
the average retailer to bo able to satisfy
his customers and make a reasonable
profit, that then the retailer stops buying.
Therefore the moment that prices have
reached the limit, the retailers stop buy-
ing for one or two days, and, as the
stock continues to bloom, and flowers,
as you know, have to be moved, for they
do not improve with age, the wholesaler
is compelled to lower prices and soon
the retailers buy and the machinery is
again in proper motion.

One thing more: The wholesaler can
greatly help to popularize the meritorious
varieties by distributing the blooms
among as many retailers as it is possible
for him to do with the supply at his dis-
posal.

I wish to say here that several gen-
tlemen of our profession have assisted
me in this work, and I mention it, be-
cause I felt that since you have so hon-
ored me, it was my duty to present here
as good a paper on this subject as it was
possible for me to give you.

dation, but the results of the improve-
ment of the carnation as a vital adjunct
of the florists' business have been so far-
reaching, and the extraordinary popular-
ity that it has attained in recent years,
lead me to venture the statement that it

has almost supplanted the rose in inter-
est and importance.

From the small, weak and insignificant
pink, slender and drooping in its charac-
teristics, we now have one of the most
vigorous, strongest and most importat
gems of the whole floral kingdom, and so
general has been the interest in the de-
velopment of this popular flower that, be-
side the above improvements, there have
been added many new, brilliant and daz-
zling colors, which, when massed or as-
sembled and gathered together produce
an eifect which is almost bewildering in
its attractiveness. In fact, today per-
fect carnations are an indispensable ad-
junct of the business of the florist. They
have the keeping qualities so necessary
for the satisfaction of lovers of the beau-
tiful in flowers, and many instances can
be cited where they have graced the bou-
doir and table, and staterooms of many a
transatlantic palace liner, when the charm
and beauty and fragrance of all other
flowers have passed away.

With the present system of growth, in
many instances flowers have been pro-
duced which could not be put into a large
size goblet Avithout being crushed; with
a stem so firm and rigid that it can be
used for a multitude of purposes without
being wired. While this might be con-
sidered a more commercial aspect of the
question, it is one that is far-reaching in
its results, and when we consider it in all
its attractiveness of form, color and other
fine qualities, the precision and regular-
ity of its form and growth cannot be
too highly recommended ; and while I
disclaim anything personal in this paper,
I believe, truthfully, that the introduction
of the Lawson carnation has done much
to awaken enthusiasm amongst all classes
of our people in favor of this type of
flower.

Success Requires Merit.

It is a well established precedent that
nothing can be made a genuine success
without having the attributes of true
merit behind it, and in order that th»
public shall appreciate and realize the
good in any proposition or undertaking,
it must have the ear-marks of future suc-

cess. This proud distinction I claim,
without prejudice, for the Lawson car-
nation, and from the time that the wizard
of carnation culture, Peter Fisher, first
brought it to my attention, up to the
present time, nothing has been produced
that can in any way rival this magnifi-
cent production. Its fame is known over
two continents; and indeed I might say
in almost all parts of the world, where
the love of flowers is predominant, the
name of the T^wson carnation is a house-
hold word. Its glories have stimulated
liorticulturists in a laudable and ambi-
tious rivalry to produce something which
could compete with it, and while many
new types have been produced, which, in
many instances have been a revelation in
the floral world, the Lawson pink with its
brilliant color, and sturdy characteristics,
in my humble opinion, still holds its
proud place, as the queen of the carna-
tion family; and therefore, owing to the
subject matter of this paper, viz., ' ' Car-
nations from a Eetailer 's Point of
View," I will conclude what I fear has
been a tedious and uninteresting narra-
tive, by saying that as our good business
stands today, our avocation, with the car-
nation eliminated from the channels of
trade would be like Shakespeare's great-
est production with Hamlet left out.

An Important Industry.

Since the great interest that has been
manifested by the public in their favor
for this popular exotic, it seems to me
that our trade has increased, that a more
popular demand has been stimulated in
all that tends to develop and build up a
business, which is increasing all over the
world with wonderful progress. From a
comparatively unimportant, and I might
almost say, obscure line of trade, we are
developing into a famous, popular, profit-
able and important industry.

In the older days, and now, too, when
at imposing banquets and feasts, popu-
lar heroes and favorites were supplied
with rare, delectable and luscious fruits,
great care was ever exercised in the pro-
duction to obtain the most perfect and
the best, and, as we sometimes observe
today, the many were sacrificed for the
few, so the succulent and tasteful and
attractive specimen was produced by
eliminating and discarding great numbers
in order that the most perfect should be
obtained, and so it is in the floral king-
dom.

Nature is so lavish with her favors,
the wonderful resources of soil, and cli-
mate, and environment, and so prolific of
results, being absolutely boundless in its
possibilities, that Ave have a never-ending
field for honorable service and ambition
to cultivate. Montgomery gave to the
world his magnificent results of rose cul-
ture; Coleman first brought to our notice
the great possibilities of the chrysanthe-
mum ; Fisher astonished us all by his
careful, patient and successful efforts on
the carnation. And I take a pardonable
pride, in a modest reference to the fact
that here in our own good city of Bos-
ton, much that has been done in the
growth and progress and good results
have been introduced and brought to a
successful conclusion by Boston men.

In the old days of the trade, thou-
sands of dollars' worth of so-called Bos-
ton roses were shipped to all parts of
the United States. This good, old city,
with its members of the craft, have ever
been forward and ambitious to promote
the best interests of the trade, not only
for their own ambition, but for the good
of the whole countrv.

to rest and fasten my angle iron on — I
have two feet of glass from the wall to
the roof bars — making a perfectly solid
foundation for my roof to rest on.

As to recommending the wall to any
one, I found that when the thermometer
was down to 10 degrees below zero, the
coldest we had this winter, it proved per-
fectly satisfactory. In my opinion it
is an ideal wall in every respect. It is
as firm and hard as rock. I took a thin
coating of sand and cement and smoothed
up the outside, which filled up all small
crevices, and made a very attractive wall.
My coal shed, which I built the same way,
has also been very satisfactory. The
secret of a good wall is enough of good
tamping. I do not believe any one
using sand will have the same results.

THE GLASS MARKET.

The report from practically all job-
bers in window glass is that the demand
for greenhouse sizes is something en-
tirely unprecedented for so early in the
season. The jobbers find that the larger
ranges of greenhouses are those first to
be planned and that the first call is al-
ways for large lots, with the demand
steadily increasing in point of number
of orders, but the size of the orders
steadily decreasing until late in the fall,
when freezing weather comes.

The glass market has had many ups
and downs during the past summer.
Prices have fluctuated violently and the
jobbers have been and are unable to
make quotations except for prompt ac-
ceptance. At present, prices are low,
but there is reported to be considerable
difficulty in procuring large lots of one
size of greenhouse glass. The 16x16,
16x18, 16x20 and 16x24 sizes are hard
to pick up when one wants a thousand
boxes or more of one size. The job-
bers explain this by the statement that

the glass factories will not cut the small
sizes except at an extra payment. As is
well known, the larger sizes of glass
command a relatively higher price per
square foot than do the greenhouse
sizes. Consequently the factories cut as
much of their glass to the larger sizes as
circumstances will allow. The jobbers
are all scrambling to get all the green-
house glass possible, for they feel confi-
dent that this season's greenhouse build-
ing operations will considerably eclipse
anything heretofore known.

Low priced offerings are being made
on large lots of machine-made glass. It
looks exceedingly good, but jobbers say
it is so very brittle that it is useless for
many purposes, especially for greenhouse
use. One grower ordered a car of it, on
price, but when he came to look into it
further he canceled his order. However,
if the glass-blowing machines are a suc-
cess in other ways it should not be a dif-
ficult task to overcome the brittleness,
and this objection will doubtless not long
obtain.

CARNATION NOTES.-EAST.

Unrooted Cuttings.

It was in 1902 that I first advised, in
these notes, the purchase of unrooted
cuttings and from time to time have
briefly referred to my preference for this
method of procuring stock. Owing to
recent inquiries for information regard-
ing the result of its continued practice,
I take this opportunity to again give
my views on the subject with the relation
of such added experience as may have
been gained.

It is claimed that carnation cuttings
as taken from the plants are better able
to withstand a journey than those lifted
from the cutting bench with roots and
this would seem to be supported by the
arrival of a lot of unrooted cuttings in
good condition after a trip of 3,500
miles and return, while a similar lot.

taken from the sand, packed with equal
care and shipped with the others, re-
turned worthless. All will agree that the
sooner a rooted cutting can be gotten
into soil after being taken from the
sand the better; if rooted and shipped
there is considerable delay, not to men-
tion injury to delicate roots from hand-
ling in packing and unpacking.

Why is it that some varieties disap-
point us the first year sent out but
improve the second season?

The disposition is to lay the cause of
all trouble to overpropagation, as if it
were not possible to be due to some other
cause. There being so many conditions
beyond the control of the disseminator
after stock leaves his hands and upon
which depend the future success of a
variety, it is obviously unfair to so
magnify the evils of overpropagation as
to lose sight of all other adverse condi-
tions, slight perhaps in their influence,
but likely to be met with. A new
variety born and brought up under the
care of one who anticipates every re-
quirement has every advantage in its
favor and it is but natural that prefer-
ence for the conditions which have
brought about its superior qualities
should be strong. Eemoved to a dis-
tance where soil, climate and other con-
ditions are different, it must first adapt
itself to these before getting down to
actual business.

Becoming Acclimated*

Under the method of procuring cut-
tings already rooted this process of be-
coming acclimated in many cases does
not make much headway until cuttings
can be obtained from the mature plants;
this will be apparent in the marked dif-
ference between the stock originally
purchased and that rooted the following
year.

Now, instead of waiting for a variety
to become acclimated, why not begin to
acclimatize it at the outset by starting
with unrooted cuttings?

You may call this theory but having
for several years purchased rooted cut-
tings of new varieties and the first sea-
son's showing always being unsatisfac-
tory, the plan of obtaining cuttings
unrooted was tried with the result that
the young stock when rooted and potted
took hold at once; they seemed to feel
at home and acted like those made from
cuttings taken oflf our own plants. Their
behavior in the field, after housing and
at blooming time was evidence enough
for me to decide in favor of the plan,
and frara continued experience with nu-

is Tio difference. We liave also heard
the assei'tion that the blooms will keep
better if the stem is cut with a knife
than where they are picked or snappeii
off. This, too, we find is a mistaken
idea. When the stem snaps off clean
there is no better way to gather the
blooms, but there are a few varieties that
do not snap oft" readily and these should
be cut with a knife. If your carnations
do not keep well I would advise you to
look for the cause elsewhere.

merous varieties I feel justified in ad-
vancing the opinion (call it theory if
you wish) that a variety adapts itself
to the different soil, climate, water, etc.,
or in other words becomes acclimated
sooner if cuttings of the same be ob-
tained in the unrooted state, the whole
operation of propagation being under-
taken by the grower at his establish-
ment.

It must be admitted that at first
requests to have orders for stock filled
with unrooted cuttings were looked.upon
with disfavor by some introducers who
evidently saw in this an attempt to
insert the point of a wedge which in its
onward course would split prices in
twain or perhaps what in some instances
was doubtful at the start but would
count as one in a lot of rooted cut-
tings, might not be considered worth
counting in the unrooted state.

The subject of prices is one not in
my province to discuss, but will say in
justice to all that the owner of a new
variety is entitled to the established
price of his cuttings whether furnished
rooted or unrooted, the buyer being
equally entitled to have them supplied
either way he may choose.

and the stem holds the bloom up per-
fectly. It does not split and is a good
keeper. The originators have a good
stock of it and hope to disseminate it

CARNATION POCAHONTAS.

Carnation Pocahontas is a cross be-
tween a light red seedling and Gov.
Eoosevelt, and is in its third year. The
color is a shade brighter than its parent,
Roosevelt. Instead of the dark cast, it
has a scarlet cast, which adds a bril-
liancy to the color seldom seen in a,
crimson, especially under artificial light.
The form of the bloom is round and it
has very little fringe on the petal. In
size it is larger than Harlowarden and
in productiveness the originators, Baur &
Smith, of Indianapolis, claim that it
beats Harry Fenn. The growth is strong

PICKING THE BLOOMS.

in i)icking blooms of carnations, is it
bept to break at a joint or between
joints? R. B.

It will make very little, if any, dif-
ference in the keeping of your carna-
tions whether you break the stems at
the joints or between the joints. We have
heard growers argue in favor of each
way, but from experience we find there

Carnations that are shipped to Europe
should not be sent as rooted cuttings,
but should be established in pots first.
They should be strong, young plants
with considerable wood on them. Pot
them into 2i.>-inch pots and grow them
cool. Do not top them at the stage you
would top your own stock, but let them
run up pretty well, no matter if they
do begin to show the bud by the time
you ship them. Before shipping them
harden them just a little by withholding
tho water somewhat and keeping them
quite cool. Even with careful prepara-
tion you will find the carnation not the
easiest plant to ship across the water.

When packing, instead of wrapping
them in paper you should cover the ball
of soil with damp sphagnum and wrap
with raftia or twine to hold it on. Do
not let the sphagnum come up around the
stem any more than you can help; in
fact, few of the lower leaves might be
removed to help keep the foliage away
from the damp moss.

When packing in the box use the same
method as is used in packing azaleas and
in fact all plants that are shipped across
the water. Put in a single row of plants
with the root end against the end or the
side of the box and press them together
tightly, so there will be no working loose.
Then nail a cleat across and tight against
the upper side of the balls. Put in an-
other layer of plants and another cleat,
and so on until your box is full. You
can put another lot of plants on the op-
posite side of the box, using the same

method of fastening tlioni. In this case,
ho\A'ever, the box should be large enough
so the plants will not switch each other
too much when being handled, else there
will be bruising and decay before the
end of the journey is reached. Make the
box air tight Avhere the soil comes in con-
tact Avith it to prevent drying out, but
do not wrap with paper on the outside.
Do all the lining inside, as the paper if
on the outside is likely to be torn off on
such long and rough journeys. Leave a
few air holes in the box where the empty
space between the plants is, to admit
fresh air, else there will surely be decay-
ing. Be sure you nail everything securely,

we have manure hauled wo do not pay
for it by the ton, but by the load (usually
about a cord), so 1 can tell you better
how much to put on your ground in cords
than I could in tons. To an acre 1
would advise you to use about twenty-
live cords. That will make a good, heavy
coat and need not be repeated oftener
than every second or third year, accord-
ing to how your ground is to start with.
Much depends, too, on how nmch of it is
bedding, as to how much fertilizing
power there is in it. If you could have
spread half of it on the ground in the
fall and plowed it under, and then spread
on the other half during the winter to be
plowed under at planting time, it would
ilo your ground twice as much good.

Be careful that you do not overdo this
manuring. It is not good policy to plant
in too rich ground in the field. The
growth becomes soft if rain is plenty and
you \yill have trouble in getting the
stock started Mhen planted on the
benches. If you want good plants by
housing time I would advise you to plant
in the field from 3-inch pots and well
established. Then if they take hold well
in a fairly rich soil and get a moderate

amount of rain you ought to lift good,
strong plants by the middle of July, and
they need not be soft, either. You will
find, too, that frequent plowing will make
the soil more productive. We always
plow one field in the fall, whether we
manure it or not. It gives the weather
a better chance to work on it and helps
to keep down weeds.

The sha,vings and sawdust will do no
special harm in the cow manure, but they
will not do any good, either. We always
prefer straw bedding.

I know of no one who uses the Skinner
system for watering carnations in the
house. Ask Mr. Skinner.

of Peter Fisher's school for capable

experience with Enchantress than almost
any other grower, for he was foreman
for J. D. Thompson at the time he was
sending out this now widely grown and
universally liked variety. Mr. Jensen,
when he went into business for himself
last year planted more heavily of En-
chantress than of any other sort. He
knows, too, the special needs of Boston

it, getting good size and strong stems.
It is a popular shipping variety in the

qualities.

MANURING THE HELD.

I would like to ask your correspondent
how many tons of stable manure to put
on an acre of ground to plant carna-
tions in. You always see to put on a
liberal coat. I put on twelve to fifteen
tons, but I find some say thirty to forty
tons. I want expert advice, for I want
big plants when I am ready to house my
stock. Will shavings, chips and sawdust
in cow manure taken from stock cars
from the railroad be in any way detri-
inental to the growing of carnations? I
have about fifteen to twenty tons, which
is well rotted. There may be one ton of
sawdust in the pile. It makes a strong
liquid after being in the tank a week
and I cannot see where it sours the
ground, but it makes Lawson grow. Do
all the florists have the Skinner system
of watering for carnations? If so what
results do they have? B. J. P.

in losing such a large part of his stock.
At this distance, judging from his de-
scription, I should say that it was too
dry and hot to make a success of vio-
lets; however, he does not say if the
lath house screened them suflBciently
from the hot sun, or was too dark and
close, or if he watered lightly and often,
or at longer intervals and heavily, etc.
This is a strong growing variety and
ought to do well. We would be pleased
to hear from some of the successful Cal-
ifornia violet growers as to their meth-
ods of culture, varieties grown, etc.

VIOLETS IN OREGON.

I have a bed of violets, 6x40 feet, and
have it covered with eleven-ounce duck
canvas. They are blooming finely, but
the lower leaves, near the ground, are
turning yellow and rotting. Is there
anything to prevent this? Would it help
them if I kept the canvas off on cold,
cloudy, damp days? I have kept them
covered except when the sun was out. I
uncovered them during the forenoon. The
slugs are beginning to bother them.
What can I do to get rid of them?

C. L. E.

I am not familiar with the conditions
in Oregon, but from the tenor of his
inquiry should take it that he was only
having the natural death of the old
leaves, which he should pick off and re-
move. My impression is that he does
not need the canvas at all, if he has been
having it off on sunny days, unless he
had it to protect them from too heavy
rains. Violets certainly want all the air
that it is possible to give them. As for
the slugs, as we have frequently recom-
mended, granulated sugar mixed with
Paris green is as good as anything we
have ever tried, scattering it in little
piles wherever the slugs are in evidence.

MAGGOTS ON VIOLETS.

I would like to ask you if you have
heard of any remedy for maggots? They
are white and have two horns, six legs
and a tail. The entire maggot is about
a quarter of an inch long and not much
thicker than a hair. They go very fast,
back into the ground, and about a dozen
on each violet. They eat the flower en-
tirely. I used lime and tobacco dust
but it did not help, and fumigating does
not help. If you have heard of anything
that is good for it please let me know.

G. B.

We do not recognize G. B. 's visitors
as being anything that has troubled us,
but I think that I should try Paris
green and granulated sugar as before
recommended for other insect pests, and
if this does not eradicate them, I should
fumigate with hydrocyanic acid gas.

STARTING CANNAS.

I would like to know the best time for
buying and starting canna roots to use
for bedding next spring. How should I
start them, also what care do they need
and what varieties are best for bedding?
I want both dwarf and the taller ones.

E. A. M.

First as to buying canna roots, al-
though extensively advertised in the

early spring months, it is not always
easy to procure good sound roots. ^lany
are lost during the winter, so put your
order in at once to some good house and
order them delivered to you the end of
February or very early in March.

And here I may as well give you a
brief list of desirable varieties of the
taller-growing sorts: Kate Gray, Penn-
sylvania, President Cleveland, Charles
Henderson, Florence Vaughan, Alphonse
Bouvier and Mile. Berat are among the
finest, but the list does not include any
of the very newest.

Cannas that will grow about three
feet are of more general use and there
are many fine varieties. Among those
we have grown and that proved par-
ticularly fine are Buttercup, pure yellow;
Tarrytown, the very best red; President
McKinley, fine in flower and foliage but
not as free as Tarrytown; Souvenir
d' Antoine Crozy, the best of its class,
orange and scarlet; Dwarf Florence
Vaughan, as fine a flower as the Florence
Vaughan but only three feet; David
Harum, scarcely a dwarf but a most
beautiful variety; and then there is a
very dwarf scarlet sort called Express
that seems little known yet. For a bed
or for the center of a vase or for a
veranda box, it is one of the finest. This
list could be much lengthened, but, as
with many of our florists' flowers, it is
sound advice to grow few varieties, grow
those in quantity and grow them well.

634

The Weekly Florists' Review*

JANUABT 25, 1906.

Cannas are started iuto growth from
the first to the end of March. If you
would prefer them in flower by the end
of May, then start operations early in
March. Spread one inch of sphagnum
moss (cocoanut fiber will do just as
well) on a bench in a house where the
night temperature is about 60 degrees.
Put the roots on the material quite
thickly. Then cover the roots thinly with
the same material. If you have heating
pipes beneath the bench, none the worse.
Keep the moss or fiber slightly moist.
In two or three weeks the roots will
begin to start their leaf growth, as well
as make working roots. When three or
four inches above the moss lift them
out and put into 4-inch pots with a, well
manured compost and keep on a light,
warm bench. There is nothing more to

be done, except give ordinary daily care.
We have often received canna plants
from very large firms that had evidently
been reared in a shady, warm house and
they were soft and sloppy, but we did
not kick, for we know how much the
headpiece of this firm had to think of
and it was superhuman to expect that
lie could spread himself over acres.

The canna is a native of the torrid
zone and enjoys our hottest weather, and
if not neglected for water when their
avaricious roots are crowded into a 4-
inch pot, will endure our brightest suns
under glass. Don't expect all these roots
to start at once with the same strength
and vigor, but all that are sound will
start within six weeks and you will not
have wasted space, pots or soil.

BEST SIX ROSES.

Will you kindly tell me what six named
varieties of roses are best for greenhouse
culture? I would like colors red, pink,
white and yellow, and what time should
they be set in the greenhouse to bring
them into bloom for the holidays?

E. V. M.

The best roses to grow under glass are
those Avhich are most in demand and
for a beginner easiest of culture. In
whites. Brides and Ivory stand at the
top. In pinks. Bridesmaids, Chatenay
and Killarney. In reds. Liberty and
Richmond. In yellows, Perle des Jardins
and Franz Deegan, Ivory, Chatenay and
Richmond, not being quite so susceptible
to mildew and other troubles, and being
good doers, are the varieties best suited
for a beginner. Golden Gate is also a
good and profitable rose. The usual time
to bench roses is late in May or early in
June, which gives them a sufficient
length of growing season to produce a
good crop in September and still another
at holidav times. Ribes.

INFESTED WITH EEL WORMS.

I am sending you a root of a rose
plant and should be glad to have you
state if they are aifected with club root
or eel worms. E. C.

The specimen plant is badly infested
with eel worms, which have undoubtedly
caused this form of club root. Under a
powerful magnifier these small tubercles
will be found to contain from three to
five and frequently more small worms al-
most invisible to the naked eye and which
resemble eels in, appearance. These
worms by encysting themselves in the

small feeding roots cause the tubercle
to form. These tubercles are constantly
increasing in size and becoming more
numerous, sapping the vitality of the
plants and destroying root action.

Like all low forms of animal life these
nematodes are very retentive of life and
hard to destroy. As yet I have learned
of no means of destroying them without
also destroying the plant host. They
perish in solutions of acids and of most
metallic compounds, but, unfortunately,
these are also destructive of vegetable
life.

If the rest of the stock is as badly in-
fested as the specimen sent they should
be thrown out without delay, as recovery
according to our present knowledge is out
of the question. It would also be very
unsafe to propagate from such stock, as
they are so reduced in vitality that the
young plants wouid become an easy prey
to the same trouble. Ribes.

FORCED CIRCULATION OF.WATER.

[A paper by H. S. Dodson, read before the
Detroit Florists' Club, January 3, 1906.]

The forced circulation consists of the
ordinary hot-water system in connection
with a pump. The ordinary hot-water
system is based entirely upon gravity as
the force which circulates the water in
the system, and by reason of the hot
water being the lighter, it is forced up-
ward by the descending cold water, but the
difference in the weight is not great
enough to insure rapid circulation. In
order that the returning water be suffi-
cient to cause a reasonably rapid circu-
lation, the temperature must fall from 50
to 80 degrees.

In using the gravity system for heat-
ing on a large scale it is readily seen
that this drop in the temperature of the
water is something to be avoided as the
heat emitted from water at this greatly
reduced temperature has little heating
value.

JANCAHY 25, 1906.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

635

When the difference in head is six feet,
the flow by gravity is from one to one
and one-half feet per second, while that
of the forced circulation is from seven-
teen to twenty feet per second. The only
means by which it is possible to main-
tain the temperature of the water at a
height necessary to obtain its most effi-
cient heat is to assist gravity by use of
a pump.

By use of a pump the circulation can
be returned to the boiler to be reheated
at a loss of but ten degrees in mild
weather and of not more than twenty
degrees in the severest weather. The
pump used for the circulation is an ex-
tremely simple piece of apparatus, being
but a fan enclosed in an iron casing.
This fan revolves and propels the return-
ing water through the boiler and thence
through the system. The two bearings
of this pump run in a reservoir of oil, as
does the shaft of the motor which oper-
ates the pump, thus doing away with the
constant attention of a person to keep the
pump in running condition.

The alternating current motor is still
a more simple machine than the direct
current motor, there being no commuta-
tor. A steam, gas or gasoline engine,
belt, water motor or any form of power
can be used to advantage where it is
available, but the electric motor is so
universally used, and systems of electric
power are available almost every place
where heat is needed, that we can cite
the electric motor as the most simple
and most economical form of power for
forced circulation of hot water.

Unlike any other system of heating,
the coils may be of any length, and can
be placed in any position or location in
respect to the boiler and pump. , A uni-
form and constant temperature can be
maintained in all coils and radiators, no
matter where they are located or how
long they may be.

The power necessary to force the water
through the coils is only the amount
necessary to overcome the friction of the
water in the pipes; and this power is
consumed, no matter in what way the
water is circulated. If it is circulated
by gravity, the power is lost in the form
of heat and goes out the chimney; if it
is circulated by a steam engine, electric
motor, gas engine, or any other form of
power, it is nevertheless a loss.

The regulation of coils and radiators
is independent of the boiler and can be
regulated to the desired temperature by
cutting down the supply of water through
the coils by closing the supply valve, or
by an automatic regulator which controls
the supply by a thermostatic action.

The distance mains can be run is al-
most unlimited, there being cities with
from twelve to fifteen miles of mains
and millions of square feet of radiating
surface. The boiler is of any type
selected by the purchaser: Water tube,
tubular, or a cast-iron sectional boiler,
and steam boilers are often substituted.
In contrasting the forced circulation
of hot water with the steam systems in
general use, the economies can readily
be seen. In the first place, a steam sys-
tem is designed to warm the building to
the desired temperature in zero weather
and this same temperature must be raised
in the boiler, whether the temperature of
the building is to be raised to 5 or 80
degrees; therefore the heat not needed
must be a loss. In the forced circulation
of hot water we warm the water to the
temperature necessarj- to heat the build-
ing to the desired temperature only,
without a loss.

Carnation Helen Goddard.

The moisture which is natural in the
air, and which should not be destroyed,
is not overheated and burned out of the
air by hot water, as in the extremely
high temperature to which the air is
heated when steam of fifteen or twenty
pounds pressure is used.

There is no need of bleeding the sys-
tem of air, as is common to the steam !
system after it has become cold, as one
automatic air trap, which is placed at
the highest point on the system, takes
care of all air which is carried to it by ;
the flow of the water.

All coils are placed level and at any
place convenient to the owner of the
greenhouse. The short coils which are |
necessary by the use of steam, require !
the use of numerous valves and fittings, j
which are needless in the forced circula- :
tion of hot water. j

One feature of the forced circulation
of hot water cannot but impress itself
upon everyone who will think a moment
of how it can be centralized in order to
obtain economies. As the writer has
already said, the water can be forced for
miles in mains which are properly covered ,
Avith a loss of but a few degrees of heat\ |

The forced circulation of hot water j
has many features which make it possi- |
ble to heat places in which gravity sya- ;
tems are impossible. The mains, coils, i
and radiators can be placed and operated
at any distance below the level of the
boiler and any height above it. The ne-
cessity of cleaning boilers of scale and
incrustation is practically eliminated by
this system as the precipitation is almost
nil.

The Review will send Saltford's Vio-
let Book on receipt of 25 cents.

SIZE OF SMOKESTACK.

I have a smokestack which is 9x18
inches, twenty-five feet tall. Will it be
sufficient to carry a tubular boiler 30
inches by 10 feet long with twenty- two
311. -inch flues? If not large enough,
give size of one suited for such a boiler.
H. D. F.

I judge the smokestack you have is
ample for the boiler in question. Such a
boiler should have about seven square feet
of grate surface and it is estimated that
tiio size of the flue should be one-ninth
the area of the grate to give good satis-
faction. The boilers should have a chim-
ney with about 14-t square inches of
area. The chimney you have has 162
s(iuarc inclies of area. L. C. C.

PRICE OF LUMBER.

Tlie price of lumber of nearly all
kinds is high this season; nearly all
yrades have advanced during the past
month. Pecky cypress, which is now the
])()pular material for greenhouse benches,
lias recently had an advance of from
^(il.nO to $2 per thousand feet and there
is a prospect that a shortage will develop
before all wants are supplied. The Adam
Schillo Lumber Co., Chicago, which sup-
plies most of the growers around Chica-
go, advises that orders for pecky cypress
bo booked without delay.

I I.IKE the Review very much, espe-
cially for its cultural notes. — John Dun-
STON, Niles, O.

The Weekly Florists^ Review^

January 23, 1906.

DARLINGTON ON CALIFORNIA,

[The continuation of a paper by E. B. Darling-
ton, trial Kround superintendent for W. Atlee
Burpee & Co., read before the Florists' Club of
Philadelphia, January 2, 1006. The first Install-
ment was i)ubllshed January 18.]

Fine Harvest Season.

It is the climate, combined with the
fertility of the soil, which makes Califor-
nia so desirable for seed growing, as
during the harvest season there is an
entire absence of rain. Seed heads de-
velop and ripen and the harvest proceeds
steadily, yet without rush or hurry ;
vines or seed heads are cut lield by field
and spread on large sheets to dry and
when all have been harvested, the
thresher goes from block to block, fol-
lowed by the cleaners and the sacks of
seeds are stacked in the open air until
they are hauled to the warehouses in the
fall. There is no anxious watching for
passing showers or a heavy downpour,
as with us, and no need for any shelters
in which to dry and thresh the seed.

Next to the seed ranches the most in-
teresting feature of the Santa Clara
valley are the miles and miles of prune
orchards, and in handling this crop the
prunes are allowed to ripen fully and
drop to the cultivated soil beneath, they
are then gathered from the ground,
dipped in lye to remove the bloom and
are spread out on slatted crates, such as
we use for onion sets, to dry. The
past year the prune crop, like nearly all
other crops, was cut short by the in-
tensely hot weather in July, but the price
was good and growers were having bet-
ter returns than from the very large
crop of the preceding seasons.

Below Santa Clara I visited the
"slews" of Watsonville, where the soil
is a black, fibrous peat, similar to that
of the Jersey swamps, and here were
crops of cauliflower in all stages, from
the freshly set young plants to those in
head and seeding. In these valleys there
were clear streams of water running in
the drains and it seemed entirely prac-
ticable to grow all moisture-loving crops
at any season of the year, but it is not
suited for general seed raising on ac-
count of the heavy fogs which come in
from the sea. The hills surrounding
these valleys are devoted to dairy farm-
ing and apple orchards and the country
had more of a home-like appearance
than any part of California I visited.

In the South.

Going still further south, I stopped at
Lompoc, where the chief crops are mus-
tard seed and commercial or soup beans,
alid still further south to Ventura was
the lima bean country. Try to imagine
from fifty to seventy-five miles of travel
through narrow but level coast lands
where the principal crop was lima beans,
interspersed with orchards of English or
more properly Persian walnuts. This
portion of California was to me the most
interesting, for here were the evidences
of the early Spanish settlers: Fan
palms sixty feet or more in height,
araucarias forty to fifty feet high, and
a grape vine with a trunk over a foot
in diameter and the branches covering
a trellis which extended over a half an
acre of ground. This vine is at Car-
penteria and coming on it unexpectedly,
I at once recognized it from the illustra-
tions in our gardening publications. The
vine is in perfect health and vigor and
could easily be made to cover a much
larger area. On the other side of the
trellis hung immense clusters of fruit,
a single cluster of bunches being large

enough to fill a good-size wash-tub, but
owing to a lack of water the grapes were
poorly developed and only fitted for the
wine press.

Here also we visited a small ranch in
a little valley where three generations
of a Scotch family had a small fruit
ranch, which was a feast to delight a
gardener. Here in adjoining rows and
blocks were strawberries, raspberries,
blackberries, loganberries, purple guavas,
figs, an extensive assortment of our finer
hot-house grapes, lemons, oranges and
grape-fruit, some in full bearing and
others with occasional clusters of ripe
fruits, according to their season. Here
were trained gardeners of the old school
raising in the open ground all the fruits
which they had been accustomed to
grow under glass in their old home.

An incident of Carpenteria was a
large Magnolia grandiflora, with ca-
melia-like blossoms a foot in diameter
and on my commenting on its flowering
at that season of the year, I was told
that it was * ' a continuous performance ' '
and that it flowered throughout the whole
ye;ar.

Mrs. Shepherd's Place.

From the windows of my room in the
Hotel Rose, Ventura, I could look down
into the flower garden of Mrs. Theodosia
B. Shepherd, which occupies an entire
square in the center of the town.
Here was a most interesting and varied
collection of flowering plants, many of
them old acquaintances of my appren-
ticeship days, which have now disap-
peared from our commercial greenhouses,
as these in recent years have been turned
into cut-flower factories or palm nur-
series, to the detriment of a varied plant
collection. In one corner there were
small glass houses heavily whitewashed
for propagating purposes, while along
the central walk were lath shades filled
with begonias and creepers, and at in-
tervals were ornamental summer houses
or pagodas artistically decorated with
the leaf -stalks of the fan palm. Quite a
large section of the grounds was laid
out in rock work and devoted to cacti
and other succulents, and the whole was
a most interesting treat for any flower
loving gardener.

A noticeable feature here as elsewhere
in California, was the immense size of
the individual florets on the geraniums,
all varieties appearing to have much
larger and more brightly colored flowers
than with us. Near the hotel there is a
rubber tree which has the size and de-
velopment of a twenty-five-year-old Nor-
way maple, and at the Mission there is
an araucaria fully fifty feet in height,
but a peculiar feature of the araucaria
was that instead of being flatly spread,
the side branches turned upwards In a
V-like form, possibly owing to the dry
season.

(To be continued.)

POINSETTIAS.

Will you please tell me how to store
poinsettias after they have finished
blooming? Does the poinsettia bear
more than one scarlet bract in a season?

K. C. C.

I will answer the last question first.
The poinsettia does not bear but one
crop of flowers in a season, and the
bracts are an essential part of the flower.
Nature did not endow the plant with
these brilliant bracts to please the human
eye, or for usefulness to the florist. They

evolved because the economy of the plant
needed them to attract tropical insects
to their nectar cups, and so hasten the
chief function of all plants, to bear seed
and reproduce its kind.

As soon as you have cut the stalk and
have a foot or less of stem left, lay the
plants on their sides beneath the driest
and warmest bench you have, and let
them rest there perfectly dry till the
first of May. This is for plants grown
in pots. If lifted from a bench, and all
the soil has fallen from the roots, then
pack them in flats and pack some dry
soil among the roots, but still keep the
flats in a dry, warm place. W. S.

FORCING CHERRY BLOSSOMS.

How long does it take to force apple
blossoms, cherry blo'">oras, etc., into
bloom, by taking dormant twigs and plac-
ing same in water? I should like to have
some in bloom for Easter if I can do it.

A. C. S.

I would advise you to cut the branches
or shoots of the apple and cherry at once,
and place them in moist soil, and keep in
a cool house or cellar till it is time to
force. Allow five or six weeks from time
of giving them light and heat. The last
two weeks give them 10 degrees higher
than you started them in. W. S.

HYDRANGEA OTAKSA.

I would like to know how to propagate
Hydrangea Otaksa and when is the best
time. Can I store them away in a cool
basement in the fall and leave them
there until forcing time and could I
store roses there in pots in the same
way? Will you tell me what are the best
roses for pot plants in the spring? I
have a large cool basement 26x50 feet.
What other use can I make of it?

F. J. R.

Hydrangea Otaksa propagates most
readily from soft wood cuttings which
may be rooted at almost any time, but
preferably in the late winter or early
spring months. Given a bottom heat they
root as quickly as carnations or gerani-
ums. Cuttings taken in late summer or
early fall make nice single head plants
in 5-inch or 6-inch pots the next spring.

If the basement is dry and frost-proof
the plants will keep finely in it. A light
frost, of course, would not hurt them, but
if it can be kept at from 34 degrees to 40
degrees it will hold them nicely. Roses
in pots or boxes will keep well in such
a place. Of course they and all other
plants prefer a light location, which we
suppose this is. Fuchsias, wistarias,
azaleas, acacias, ericas and many other
plants might be wintered in such quar-
ters. Of course, azaleas, etc., would need
watering, while the hydrangeas need to
be kept on the dry side.

Shelves in such a basement would do
admirably for storing gladioli, galtonia
and other bulbs. It would be excellent
for storing bulbs in pans or pots of
Dutch stock, Easter liles, etc., until well
started, or to retard them at flowering
times. The uses that such a place can
be put to are manifold.

Some good pot roses are Ulrich Brun-
ner, Magna Charta, Frau Karl Drusehki,
Mme. Gabriel Luizet, Gen. Jacqueminot
and Mrs. John Laing. In ramblers,.

quhar, Hiawatha, Wedding Bells and

Ijler, Mme. Norbert Levavasseur, also
makes a good pot plant.

If the basement is warmer than neces-
sary for stock named it might do well
;is a mushroom house. A dark, rather
clamp atmosphere and a temperature
from 50 degrees to 60 degrees suits the
jatter. W. N. Craig.

NOTES FROM ENGLAND.

The motor vehicle has now invaded
the ranks of the horticultural trade and
the heavy road wagon is now a common
sight on the highroads leading in to the
Covent Garden market, from the great
market gardening centers around Lon-
don. The most general type setms to be
the motor and wagon combined and one
or more large ears linked on behind as
trailers.

Now that the cut bloom from the Dutch
bulb forcing trade is coming in it will
be interesting to note the prices realized.
During buying and boxing time it was
freely predicted by the growers that the
prices would reach very low figures.
Last season exceptionally good prices
were realized, for cut tulips especially.
In consequence the Dutch export-
ing firms on their English trav-
els last spring, in the majority of
cases booked largely increased orders.
This increased business was pretty gen-,
erally attributed to the frost cutting off
the early bloom in France that generally
floods the English markets early in the
new year.

There is one very decided opinion
about the English forcing of Dutch
bulbs: If the prices go up much beyond
what many of the later orders were
booked at last season, it will mean a de-
creased rather than an increased trade
to the Holland grower, as the prices have
already reached a level above which
they cannot go if a profit is to be left to
the forcer. Of course if the Dutch grow-
er found he could not book sufficient
orders on account of too high prices,
down would come his quotations. There
are now so many smaller growers who
export and travel in England that once
they reach England and have spent a
considerable amount on the journey they
must take some orders home even if at
lower figures; consequently there is not
much fear of prices getting far beyond
the forcers' figure. In fact, the signs
are apparent that with an ever increas-
ing production in Holland and the growth
of stocks in other parts of the world,
and various other causes, prices proba-
bly will in the not far distant future
decline very considerably. J. B.

STORAGE OF BAY TREES.

Will you kindly ask some of your nu-
merous writers to tell us how to take
care of bay trees? I have four large ones
in the north end of my store. They have
plenty of air; windows always down at
the top. The plants are losing their
leaves. M. E. E.

We used to be puzzled what to do with
bay trees over winter, not that we did
not know what they wanted, but did not
have the place, so four years ago we
built a wooden shed with large windows
on the sides and roof, and a hot-water
pipe running around the sides. In mild
weather we have no need of turning on
the heat and in severe weather we only
try to keep the temperature a degree or
two above freezing; that is an ideal
place. Without that convenience you

can keep them in the coolest part of the
potting shed, and years ago we had no
better place than the coolest end of the
greenhouse. Wherever they are, espe-
cially if in the greenhouse shed, where
they would be under the influence of dry
heat, you must never let them get very
dry at the roots. Hundreds of sweet
bays are lost every winter and blamed to
cold when dryness is the real cause.

A little experience may be of value.
We went to the house of a Avealthy patron
to look at a number of sweet bays in
tubs which were stored in the basement.
Some three or four of them stood close
to an area window which had been left
open during zero weather; still, as the
whole basement ' * except where the cham-
pagne rested" was steam heated, we
could not believe the temperature could
get low enough to hurt the trees. Then
we found the soil in the tubs as dry as
dust, and that explained the trouble, but
the trees were ruined.

The writer spent his youth in the land
where the sweet bay grows unprotected
to a large- bush, almost a tree, and has
seen them pass through winters that went
as low as 20 degrees of frost, but there
the roots Avere moist, the leaves and wood
full of sap, and they could stand it. It
is quite different where the roots are
cramped and starved in a tub. Anywhere
that does not go below 5 degrees of frost,
if the roots are kept wet, will do for
sweet bays. W. S.

GERANIUM CUTTINGS.

What is the latest date geraniums can
be rooted so that they will flower in
4-inch pots by May 30? C. A. H.

I would like to say March 1, for there
would be little difference between that
date and February 1. It all depends
how you hurry them along. We have
rooted thousands of zonal geraniums on
February 1 ; that is, we put the un-
rooted cuttings into 2-inch pots on that
date. They were rooted in four or five
weeks; then for want of room on the
benches, or want of time, they were left
in the little pots till May 1. They be-
came stunted and most of the roots
perished; then it was impossible to make
good plants by May 30. It would be
wiser for me to say that the middle of
February is as late as you should propa-
gate, and just as soon as they are well
rooted shift into 4-ineh pots and you
should have a nice plant in bloom by
the end of May. In shifting from 2-
inch to 4-inch, use a strong, heavy loam,
pot firmly, and instead of animal manure
to enrich your soil use a 5-inch pot of
bone flour with every bushel of soil.

FORCING SPIRAEA.

Will you please give cultural direc-
tions for forcing Spiraea floribunda and
S. Gladstone, in order to have them in
bloom for Easter and Decoration dav?

W. J. O.

Start the roots at the end of January,
and give thcni, at the start, a tempera-
ture of 50 degrees. They can be re-
tarded or forced by raising or lowering
the temperature, as circumstances may
require. Don't subject them to the
fumes of tobacco. The last two weeks
before you expect to sell them stand
each plant in a saucer, in which keep
an inch of weak li<^uid maiiure. It will
greatlv iniproxe the plant and flower.

DAPHNE ODORA.

Under separate cover you will find a
spray from a plant which I wisli to know
the name of, also when and tlie best way
of propagating. C. A. D.

The specimen shoot is from Daphne
odora, also sometimes called D. odorata.
This is a cool greenhouse variety, not
nearly so much seen as its merits would
seem to warrant. Propagation may be ef-
fected either by grafting or cuttings. The
first method will sooner produce salable
stock, as the plant is naturally of slow
growth. Plants of one of the hardier daph-
nes, like D. Laureola, are generally used as
stocks. If cuttings are used they should
be rubbed off with a heel, or at least be
from well ripened shoots. If inserted in
pots or flats of sandy peat or loam and
kept in a cold house over winter they
will callous and send out roots in spring,
when they may be potted off singly. The
cuttings root slowly and should be kept
in a cold house. They will not stand
anything like the average propagating
house temperature. W. N. C.

MUM MRS. THIRKELL.

Will you please tell me if it is tlie
nature of chrysanthemum Mrs. E. Thir-
kell to have a weak stem? Mine were
very weak the past season. What can
be done to correct it? I did not find
this variety on exhibition at the Kan-
sas City show. P. S.

The stem of Thirkell is rather weak
in some sections unless it is grown par-
ticularly well. Exhibitors who grow it
largely, owing to its enormous size,
plant a foot apart early in May and
take a crown bud as soon as one ap-
pears after August 12. The stem at
Ijcst is hardly strong enough for the
enormous flower and the foliage in
many sections last year was diseased.
Select your stock very carefully and
don't grow too many of it unless you
need it for exhibiting. C. H. T.

A HNE CLIMBER.

Will Mr. Scott kindly tell me the name
of the enclosed? It is a beautiful plant
here in Alabama, covered with clusters
of small red berries. M. T. G.

The leaf and little cluster of orange
and red berries sent is Celastrus scan-
dens. There are many species, widely
scattered, but scandens is our native,
strong-growing climber and is found
from Dakota to New Mexico, and in the
eastern states is very commonly known
as the bittersweet. It is one of our very
best hardy climbers and for covering
the sides and roof of rustic arbors or
summer-houses it has no equal. I don't
think we of the cold and snowy north-
east sae as much of the pretty blossoms
and handsome fruit as you do in the
sunny and milder south. W. S.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

January 25, 1906.

Y^etable Forcing.

The Armour private car lines are car-
rying, each day during tlie season, forty
to fifty cars of Florida head lettuce to
the New York market.

A. DiETSCH, the Chicago manufacturer
of greenhouse material, says that it is
noteworthy the extent to which market
gardeners are replacing hotbeds witli
^greenhouses. He says that half a dozen
years ago material for vegetable growers
was but an inconsiderable part of the
business, while now it has grown to be a
quarter or a third of the total.

VEGETABLE MARKETS.

Chicago, January 24. — Cucumbers, $1
to $1.75 doz.; leaf lettuce, 30e to 60c
case; head lettuce, $2 to $(j.5u'bbl.; to-
matoes, $1 to $1.75 case.

Boston, January 23.— Cucumbers,
$2.50 to $11 box; lettuce, 50c to 75c
doz.; tomatoes, 40c lb.; parsley, $1.50
to $1,75 box; mushrooms, $1.50 to $2
per four-pound package; mint, 50c doz.

New York, January 22.— Boston cu-
cumbers, $1.25 to $1.75 doz.; head let-
tuce, 25c to 75c doz.; radishes, $2 to
$3.25 100 bunches; mushrooms, 10c to
60c lb.; tomatoes, 15c to 40c lb.; rhu-
barb, 50c to 75c doz. bunches; mint, 75c
to $1 doz.

RHUBARB.

Bhubarb is something that is almost
impossible to raise here in Arkansas.
The first year it does well; the next year
it dies. Gardeners say it burrs out.
Now, in Kansas and Oklahoma, it grows
fine, and it does not get any hotter here
than it does there, and we do not have
any hot winds like they have in Okla-
homa. Is there any special cultivation
that it requires? Does it need to be well
fertilized? What kind of soil docs it do
best on? I can give it sandy loam or
heavy, damp black soil. I want to know-
all about it, because I like to tackle
.something that all the re«t fail with.

J. H. K.

I am not sufficiently acquainted witli
your climate to be able to say exactly
what the trouble may be with the grow-
ing of rhubarb, but I see no reason why
it cannot be grown satisfactorily, as it
is generally looked upon as (me of tlie
♦•asiest of subjects to cultivate. If dry-
ing out is the trouble 1 would, by all
means, grow it in the heaviest soil you
have, and a good mulch of stable litter
or some such material would be of great
assistance in retaining the moisture dur-
ing the dry, warm spells. If, on the
other hand, the trouble is not caused by
dryness but by a rotting of the roots,
which often takes in over-damp situa-
tions, the better plan would be to plant
in the lighter soil, depending on the
■mulch and watering to supply sufficient
moisture.

The roots being of a very soft nature
and easily affected, it might be possible
that some chemical ingredient in the soil
may be the cause of the trouble ; this
could be ascertained by an examination
of the roots. It is my opinion that it is
a root trouble in some shape or form,
more than mere drying out, that is re-
sponsible for the failure of the plants,

seeing that they do well the first year.
Khubarb is a heavy feeding plant and
in a light, sandy soil is hard to overdo
in the matter of liquid refreshments as
long as the roots are in good working
order. The soil should be forked up
around the plants in the spring and a
good dressing of barnyard manure well
worked into the soil. This I consider
the best fertilizer for the purpose, and
if wash from the stables can be ob-
tained it makes the best form of liquid
manure; or a good substitute may be
made by soaking either cow or sheep
manure in water and applying in liquid
form. Chemical fertilizers, so called, 1
do r.ot consider nearly as efficient as
this.

Khubarb roots require protection in
winter in all situations where the tem-
perature runs below 10 degrees above
zero. Stable litter is the best material
to use and the amount of this should be
regulated by the severity of the climate.
The best plan is to let the ground freeze
to the depth of an inch or two before
applying the protecting material, then
put on enough to prevent the frost from
penetrating much deeper. This will pre-
vent the soil from thawing and freezing
alternately, according to the fluctuations
of the weather, and keep your plants en-
tirely dormant until the proper season
for starting arrives.

The plants require to be divided about
every third or fourth year, as the crowns,
where it does well, increase rapidly in
size and soon find it hard to procure
sufficient nourishment, when the plants
are large, in the limited area their roots
can reach. Another important point is
to prevent the plants from flowering, the
spikes should be cut out as soon as they
appear, as allowing them to mature puts
a heavy drain on the plants.

BOSTON.

The Market

Prices continue to hold up well and the
market cleans out finely. On Saturday,
January 20, hardly a flower of any sort
was carried over, either in the markets
or commission houses. There is a fairly
good supply of all sorts of flowers, but
demands for social functions are quite
heavy and the prospects for continued
good trade are excellent. Weather con-
ditions continue abnormal, being more
like April than January and the saving
in coal bills' must be considerable.

Koses clean out well. Prices remain
mucli the same as in our last. All good
stock is quickly taken. Carnations bring
$4 per hundred for fancies, some going
higher. Quite a number of Enchantress
bring $5. The lowest figure on whites
has been $2, but good flowers have made
$3 and some $4. Violets average 75
cents. A few sell down to 50 cents and
60 cents and extra specials have made $1.
Easter lilies are abundant and a little
lower, at $8 per hundred. Callas are
about the same. Tulips and daffodils are
coming in more abundantly and vary
from $2 to $4 per hundred. Paper
Whites and Romans sell better than a
year ago, averaging $2. Sweet peas are
abundant and of fine quality. The best
make $1. Cypripedium insigne continues
in good supply. Some Ccelogyne cristata
is seen and a good quantity of Cattleya
Trianff". Valley is not any too plentiful.

Green stock sells well and has been in
heavier call than usual ; no special change
in price, however.

Qub Meeting.

The following is the full list of awards
at the last club meetii^g. Eeports of
merit to red carnation seedling Beacon,
from Peter Fisher; Pink Patten and
Mikado, from Patten & Co., and Helen
(Joddard, from S. J. Goddard. The lat-
ter was recommended as a valuable com-
mercial sort. Backer & Co. received hon-
orable mention for a fine pink sport
from Enchantress. Thomas F. Matthews
received a vote of thanks for a good
white seedling, Apollo x Prosperity, which
the committee would like to see again;
H. A. Stevens Co. honorable mention
for vase of seedlings; James Wheeler
honorable mention for a new single vio-
let. Henry \vild, Greenwich, Conn., sent
a grand dish of Eockford's forcing to-
matoes.

President Wheeler appointed the fol-
lowing standing committee on exhibits:
Alexander Montgomery, Peter Fisher,
Robert Cameron, William Downs, A. H.
Fewkes, Julius Heurlin, Emil Johansson,
J. A. Pettigrew, W. A. Riggs and Will-
iam Sim. Mr. Montgomery is chairman
on the committee on rose exhibits, Mr.
Fisher on carnations and Mr. Cameron
on all other flowers.

It was finally voted to accept ladies as
club members. The opposition to one
proposed on January 16 led to an ani-
mated discussion. The constitution of
the club states that all interested in hor-
ticulture are eligible for membership,
nothing being said as to sex. It is un-
likely, however, that further applica-
tions from ladies will be presented, ow-
ing to the opposition manifested. Forty-
two supported the final resolution to ad-
mit them, thirty-five opposing it.

Peter Fislier, speaking of his red seed-
ling. Beacon, stated that it had the
fine record of one-half of one per cent
burst calyxes. He had a little trouble
with his new pink, Evangeline, but be-
lieved that careful propagating would
eliminate this. He found that flowers
kept poorly after being fumigated with
tobacco dust and he now sprays with
nicotine instead.

A query as to Fiancee elicited the in-
formation from Peter Fisher that ninety-
six per cent of his flowers burst. Mr.
Patten said nine-tenths of his did the
.same. Mr. Fisher thought the carnation
of the future would be grown altogether
indoors in especially constructed houses
running from north to south in five
inches of soil and that blooms would
rival American Beauty roses in magnifi-
cence. He thought there was a good
future for dwarf varieties as pot plants.

It was voted to accept an invitation
to a banquet to be given by the North
Shore Horticultural Society on February
15 and a delegation from the club will
attend.

Various Notes.

A large and interested audience en-
joyed the lecture on ' ' The Garden Beau-
tiful, ' ' by Loring Underwood, at Hor-
ticultural hall on January 20, Summer-
houses and their construction, pergolas,
garden seats and fences came in for
special treatment by the lecturer.

Carnation is the word this week and
the convention seems to be uppermost in
all minds. The attendance of florists
and gardeners from a distance is re-
markable, showing how warm a place the
ilivine flower has in their hearts.

Henry M. Robinson & Co. report their
.January trade as much ahead of a year

ago. Their southern smilax is remark-
ably fine and meets with a ready sale.

T. H. Meade, late with Jos. Breck &
Sons, is now with the Schlegel & Tottler

Co.

John H. Cox, late with the Stump &
Walter Co., New York, arrived in Bos-
ton on January 19 from England, where
he has been recruiting his health for
over a year. Mr. Cox will represent the
well-known English nursery firm of Eich-
ard Smith & Co., Worcester, in this
country. He brought over with him
plants of the new Adiantum Farleyense
alcicorne.

Welch Bros, report trade as unusually
good for the season, with little stock to
be carried over. Brides and Maids they
receive from Morris, of Wellesley Farms,
are very fine, as are those of E. T. Mc-
Gorum.

Carney, the florist at the Siegel Co.'s
store, has retired in favor of S. Hynof,
the latter going from the Back Bay rail-
road depot.

The plant and flower committee of the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society vis-
ited the Peirce Farm, 'iopsfield, on Jan-
uary 17, to inspect a house of the new
carnation, Marion Peirce. The plants
were a mass of bloom, stems long and
stiff, flowers about same size as En-
chantress, but deeper in color, almost of
Joost shade, calyx good and flower very
fragrant. D. J. Kerrigan, the manager,
speaks glowingly of this variety. The
committee was very favorably impressed
with it and fine as it appeared grown
under somewhat adverse conditions, it
will be much better when tried in a light
and up-to-date house.

Carbone is showing some good iman-
tophyllums.

J. S. Butterworth, of South Framing-
ham, has a grand show of Cattleya Tri-
ansB at present, including several pure
white forms; also a fine lot of Coelogyne
cristata, Chatsworth variety.

John Newman, Charles Cummings and'
Malcolm Orr are handling grand single
violets at the Music Hall market. Mr.
Orr and L. E. Small have extra fine
Campbells. W. N. Craig.

WASHINGTON.

State of Business.

With a week of spring-like weather
trade has been fully up to expectations.
It has given a great impetus to the move-
ment in pot plants. Very fine azaleas
sell well at from $2 to $3, There is con-
siderable doing in pots of lilac at $1.50
to $2 each. In all the smaller pot stocks
there is good trade.

There are plenty of roses, carnations
and violets to supply all demands, though
an occasional large order for American
Beauty or Bridesmaid is likely to cause
hustling. The indications are that vio-
lets will soon be a drug on the market,
at least if this warm weather continues.
A few gardenias are being sold at 75
cents and $1 each. Bed and yellow tulips,
both cut and in pans, are fairly plenti-
ful. Cut stock retails at 50 cents and
75 cents per dozen. Jonquils are, thus
far, very scarce. Freesia in pots and
cut goes well. Sweet peas, mignonette
and other stocks are in fair supply.

The Decorators.

J. H. Small & Sons have had a large
amount of dinner woin. during the week.
At the Wulard and Arlington hotels and
numerous private residences fine speci-
mens of their handicraft have been seen.

On the night of January 19 A. Gude

& Bro. furnished a fine decoration for a
dinner at the home of Gen. 'Draper. Pink
roses were largely used.

Z. D. Blackistone is doing a large
amount of dinner and luncheon work. He
is also handling a fine lot of Simon
Mardner azaleas, grown by Robert Bowd-
ler.

Geo. H. Cooke recently furnished a
very fine decoration at Eaucher's — the
Sherry's of Washington. The occasion
was a dinner of the Medical Society and
a large company was present. In the
square formed by the tables were many
palms and ferns, purple beech foliage
being used as a border. The cloth was
finely decorated with roses and carna-
tions.

The Growers,

Theodore Dietrich is sending in to
George Shaffer and others very fine vio-
lets, sweet peas and mignonettes. Of the
last named, some of the spikes clear of
the stalks are eight and nine inches long.

J. E. Freeman, in addition to lilac,
azaleas, lUiea and other large stocks, is
showing a fine line of primroses, the baby
being very noticeable.

Minder Bros, have a good line of pot
plants and are also making a creditable
showing in bulbous stocks.

J. H. Small & Sons are best known
as designers and decorators, but they are
also growers, having a large glass area.
This year their stock of lilies, valley,
tulips and pot roses is showing up in ex-
cellent condition.

Alex B. Garden is taking time by the
forelock in getting up a large stock of
Enchantress and other carnation plants.
He is also sending in good blooms of the
rose Gen. MacArthur.

Various Notes.

About the time the forestry conven-
tion was in session at the Willard, up at
the capitol Senator Heyburn, of Idaho,
was denouncing the policy of Chief For-
ester Gifford Pinchot, which has been
sustained by the President . "Count that
day lost whose slow descending sun sees
not some picturesque denouncing done"
— by a United States senator. And that
is well. It drives away ennui and serves
as a counter-irritant to what many peo-
ple are saying about United States sen-
ators. Publicity is the watchword of the
hour, let its light be thrown into the
dim recesses of the forests and we shall
learn of the hydra-headed grafters lurk-
ing there. Scotty.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

Trade during the past week was not
any too good. The first part there was
little stirring in cut flowers; the latter
half, however, there was quite a little
spurt in funeral work, and a few wed-
dings and receptions. This made a fair
demand for first-class stock, which is not
any too plentiful, especially in roses.
Select Eichmond, Killarney and Carnot
are in great demand. Fancy Lawson,
Enchantress and Lady Bountiful bring
top price, which is now $4 per hundred.
Other varieties were sold for much less
the past week. This stock was very plen-
tiful and good, and sold as low as $15
per thousand. Bulbous stuff moves
slowly. Eomans and Paper Whites are
over-loading the market. Lily of the
valley holds its own? still more is in
than the demand calls for. California
violets were a glut. They were dis-

posed of at from $j. to $2 per thousand.
Doubles are fine at 50 cents, with slow
sales. Fine stevia is in the market, with
quite a good demand. A great deal of
smilax was sold the past week and was
of a fine quality. Asparagus Sprengeri
is also in big demand. All other greens
are in full supply.

Various Notes.

Mr. Schloss, representing Schloss Bros.,
New York, was in town this week, as
was J. B. O'Neil, of Chicago. A. F.
Longern, who represents carnation grow-
ers, visited the local growers, selling cut-
tings.

E. A. McPheron, proprietor of the
Cottage Greenhouse, Litchfield, 111., spent
Sunday in the city, visiting the local
growers.

Wm. Schray, one of the oldest florists
in the city, is reported very sick at his
home. Mr, Schray is 72 years old but
his many friends in the trade hope for a
speedy recovery.

Miss Badaracco will move from her
present location, 1408 Olive street, to
1414, a few doors west, which will give
her a much larger store.

Very few from here went to the carna-
tion meeting at Boston this week.

C. C. Sanders furnished the decoration
for the big Van Blarcom colonial recep-
tion the past week, at which a great
many cut flowers and plants were used.

The Ellison Floral Co. had the Car-
ter wedding last week which, according
to reports, was one of the events of the
social season among the upper ten.

George Schriver, better known as
"Little George," is fast becoming an
expert bowler, and will by next season
be found in the big league company.

C. Young & Sons Co. has its spring
catalogue out. They are making great
preparation for a big spring trade. Their
shipping trade is the largest in the city.

Nearly all the florist bowlers have en-
tered in the city championship handicap
tournament to open this weei>.. The team
gets 55 handicap in the doubles. Elli-
son and Meinhardt get 25, and Kuehn
and Beneke get 36; in the singles, Beyer,
18; Beneke, 23; Meinhardt, 18; Elli-
son, 16; Kuehn, 20, and Lohrenz, 32.
Ellison -will not roll with the florists as
he was assigned to the bankers.

The league bowlers won their match
with the Enterprise team on January
18. Capt. Beyer was on hand and cov-
ered himself with glory by making an
average of 215. His high single game
was 257, the largest of any of the
bowlers in the league. Ellison, too, was
in fine form, rolling 185 average. The
scores were as follows:

SALISBURG, MASS.

The Salisbury Co., belonging to the
Hon. Wm. H. Jackson, with Frank
Wrede, manager, had quite a busy time
at Christmas, and a number of funerals
since.

Misses L. and A. Hitch, eight miles
out, report the best year since they have
been in business. They opened a store
in Salisbury last spring for the sale of
plants and cut flowers. They will open
again in March for the spring months.

Clinton, Mo. — A. Woerner grows car-
nations, lettuce and bedding plants all
in the same house and with good success,
but he says he is badly crowded and
needs three more houses.

Edinburg, Ind. — Thomas Woodard 's
business has been very satisfactory con-
sidering that it is his first season. More
glass will soon be added. Mrs. Woodard
is active in the business.

Salem, Va. — J. Shartzer finds business
very good, all stock selling as fast as
ready. The holiday trade was very good,
carnations being especially in demand
and the crop fortunately large.

Malden, Mass.— E. D. Kaulback &
Son have bought the Hecklet greenhouses
at Wellington, taken them down and
rebuilt them at their place here, giving
them a total of 65,000 feet of well con-
strueted glass.

Lafayette, Ind. — It seems to be the
fashion these days to withdraw new
carnations from the market after having
booked a few orders. F, Domer & Sons
Co. has withdrawn Tippecanoe, striped,
at least for this year.

Albany, N. Y. — H. L. Menand filed a
petition in bankruptcy January 15. He
filed a schedule of liabilities to the
amount of $2,146.35 and declares that
he has no assets. He is the son of Louis
Menand, the cemetery florist.

Colorado Springs, Colo.— J. W. Smith
is having excellent success with his car-
nations. Enchantress is not done better
anywhere. White Cloud is especially fine
with him, the stem being very much
stronger than it is grown in other locali-
ties.

Harrisburg, Pa.— Mrs. Anna B. Mach-
lin, who for a number of years has had
a flower store here, died January 14,
aged 55 years. The business will be
continued "by the estate, managed by C.

has had charge during Mrs. Machlin's
long illness.

Morris, III. — On the morning of Jan-
uary 16 the greenhouse of T. Nelson

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

Several days of exceedingly inclement
weather had a depressing effect on the
market and Sunday night's storm of
sleet so interrupted telegraphic communi-
cation that many orders for stock which
should have been shipped Monday night
were not received until Tuesday. Local
trade suffered through the impassability
of the streets, and funeral work has
been the principal item, but a change on
Tuesday has served to put renewed life
into the market.

About the only flowers which can be
called really good are Beauties. These
have lost little in color or substance dur-
ing the fortnight of unseasonable warmth
and dampness. They are in supply equal
to all requirements, but no surplus has
yet developed and each day's receipts are
moved out at quoted rates. Bridesmaids
have suffered more than anything else,
even with the best growers, and color is
very poor. Brides have also felt the
effect of the unfavorable weather. Bed
roses are not in large supply.

Carnation crops are satisfactory in
quantity and a few days of bright
weather will do much to restore quality
for the extra demand which is expected
to develop for McKinley day, January
29. During the past week the stock has
lacked the crispness which the wholesalers
like to see in it and there have been many
complaints of shipments going to sleep.
What carnations want is good, cold,
clear, crisp weather.

Bulbous stock is coming in much great-
er quantities. The daily receipts of tu-

lips now run into many thousands and
all colors are represented. Some have
very short stems but others are satisfac-
tory in this respect. Harrisii are much
more abundant and callas are plentiful.
Paper Whites are slow sale. Some fancy
mignonette is offered and Bandall has
white lilac. Cattleyas are seen in several
houses. Valley is plentiful and fine.

Once again the item which suffers most
is the violet. Receipts of Hudson river
stock are ahead of the demand and
many of the retailers prefer home-grown
singles, which are also abundant.

The market for green goods has been
rather quiet the past week.

Northside Meeting.

The Florists ' Club held its first outside
meeting at North Clark street and Devon
avenue January 18. Nearly 100 were
present and much was done to arouse
enthusiasm. The most effective speaker
was J. F. Klimmer, whose earnestness
and enthusiasm were infectious. Among
other speakers were George Asmus, James
Hartshorne, J. C. Vaughan, N. J. Wietor,
W. K. Wood and James Psenicka, fore-
man for Wietor Bros. There was a
bountiful Dutch supper and music was
provided by Mr. Hunn and Walter
Snyder, the young man with the very
old head who debits and credits for
Peter Reinberg. It was after 11 o'clock
when the festivities closed and everyone
felt that the evening had been both pleas-
antly and profitably spent. James
Hartshorne invited the club to hold its
next outside meeting a little further
from town, Joliet.

Gardeners' Union.
The Gardeners' and Florists' Union

has arranged a series of lectures at
its hall, 106 E. Randolph street, which
began January 24 with an address by
Prof. J. C. Blair, of Champaign. The
following is the program so far as an-
nounced :

February 14.— "Art and Practice of Land-
scape," by Prof. A. P. Wymun.

February 28. — "Some Ueusons for Success and
Failure iu the Growing of Plants," by Edwin A.
Kanst.

March 14. — "Entomology," speaker to be an
noimced.

March 28. — Topic to be announced later, by
Jens Jensen.

April 11. — Topic to be announced later, bv
A. C. Beal.

The lectures are to start promptly at
8:30 p. m. ; business meeting at 7:30.
The craft is cordially invited. Admis-
sion free.

Various Notes.

The large attendance at the funeral
of J. A. Budlong, January 17, served to
show the hold he had upon the esteem
of the craft and more especially of his
neighbors. The church could not accom-
modate nearly all who wished to attend
and there were a great many moist eyea
among the men of the neighborhood.

H. C. Wullbrandt, at Fifty-third ave-
nue and Adams street, has bought ground
in Oak Park and will put up three or
four greenhouses in the spring.

It is reported that C. A. Hunt is in
the life insurance business.

Frank Oechslin, of the Garfield Park
Floral Co., is making arrangements to
add six houses to his new plant this
spring.

C. W. McKellar reports a very large
call for orchids for use at the Field
funeral.

Zech & Mann, in addition to large
receipts of bulbous stock, are handling
some especially fine California violets.

A local dealer in rooted cuttings re-

Recent visitors to the Poehlmann plant

Coal is cheap. The mild weather is

The railroad yards are crowded and de-
murrage is piling up.

A. C. Spencer, of Peter Keinberg's, re-
ports the rooted cutting business start-

has resigned and gone to Arizona for
his health.

A. L. Vaughan's little daughter has

days.

Mrs. A. L. Kandall has been quite seri-
ously ill this week.

C. M. Dickinson was at Richmond, Ind.,

lent condition, quite a little of it being
handled through E. H. Hunt's.

D. J. Murphy, of the Chicago Rose Co.,
has been taking a vacation the last few
days, but is again on duty.

Weiland & Risch say that the demand
for Killamey is growing steadily. They
have a large cut, but are unable to sup-
ply the blooms except on notice, orders
being booked far ahead. They report
selling the select stock this week at $3
per dozen. The demand for plants is also
large.

The E. F. "Winterson Co. is handling
a good sized shipment of Japan lilium
longiflorum multiflorum bulbs for which
they report an active demand.

L. Coatsworth, of the Benthey-Coats-

DETROIT.

The Market.

Though business has not been so very
brisk the past week, still there is enough
doing to keep the market pretty well
cleaned up.

From the looks of things at the whole-
sale houses on Saturday evening one
would' think that flowers were becoming
extinct in Detroit. Carnations, espe-
cially, are very scarce.

Bulbous stock is coming to the aid of
the retailers this week, especially Ro-
mans, Paper Whites, and white tulips, or
any of a delicate color which can be
used to advantage in funeral work.
White and light pink azaleas are also be-
ing used as a background in funeral
work and last but not least, that old,
faithful friend, the cape flower, is wor-
shiped this week, for without its help
we would sometimes be in a bad hole.

We are having an unusually warm
winter, making it bad for stock in gen-
eral. Carnation cuttings are also suf-
fering.

Although at present writing all stock
is at a premium, there has been an over-
abundance of Lawson carnations and
those of Lawson color all along. This
seems to be the case every year. W)iat
we need in this vicinity is more whole
carnations, especially some grown with-
out disbudding. Flora Hill is a very
good variety for this purpose. By sell-

Florists' Club Meeting.

Although a smaller number attended
than usual on account of a heavy snow
storm, the last meeting of the Detroit
Florists' Club was put down as one of
the most interesting to date.

After tne minutes of tke last meet-
ing were read, President Dilger started
the subject for the evening, "Holiday

and Christmas Trade, ' by calling on
Robert Flowerday for his views on the
subject. Thereafter every one of the
boys had his little say, the condensed
facta being that, as before stated, busi-
ness was very good.

It was shown that plants were a great
deal more in favor than in former years,
but not as much as might have been ex-
pected with the prevailing high prices
of cut stock. Cyclamen, poinsettias in
pots, azaleas, orange trees, ferns and
palms went like hot cakes; in fact, all
plants sold well, excepting Begonia Lor-
raine, which most florists seem to have
got sick of losing money on. One mem-

ber suggested that the proper way to
sell them is with a written notice that
they would only last as long as cut
flowers; then we would not have to re-
place so many.

The cut flower part of the business, as
Is usual at Christmas, was accompanied
with a great deal of dissatisfaction.
Flowers having ueen scarce long before
the holidays, there was not much pickled
stock in evidence, but flowers in general
were poor, and scarce as radium. Red
roses and carnations were especially
scarce.

The bad habit of many local growers
of tying short-stemmed stock and in-

ferior flowers in with good stock and
then dispose of them at fancy prices,
was also thoroughly discussed, and I'll
bet that many of the growers present
went home with good resolutions to try
and do better, being convinced that it is
to their own interests as well as the
business in general.

The "Christmas Green" question was
also brought up; most retailers seem
to have handled but very little this
year and that at a very small profit. As
soon as it was known that ground pine
would be scarce the local papers got ahold
of it and seemed to have scared out the
few prospective buyers. This is another
evil that we ought to try to prevent.

Subtracting from all this small profit
the expenses that are necessarily in-
curred through the hiring of so much
extra help, there is little else but that
tired feeling left for the poor florist
after Christmas, and, as one member put
it, "It is with tears in his eyes that he
thinks of the next Christmas."

After announcing the subject for dis-
cussion for the next meeting, Wednesday,
February 7, "Wholesale House Criti-
cisms," the meeting was adjourned.

PAWTUCKET, R, I.

Mfty members of the Florists' and
Gardeners' Club met January 11 at the
Newman for the annual dinner of that
organization and celebrated the tenth
anniversary of the club. Eoutine mat-
ters were disposed of in a short business
session, preceding the dinner.

Table decorations included cut fronds
of the Barrows ' Whitmanii fern and bou-
quets of Helen Goddard carnations.
The Helen Goddard is a new pink of the

Joost type, about the same size as the
Lawson, but a little lighter in color.
The carnations and the ferns were exam-
ined critically by the members, as
neither is yet on the market.

After the dinner the chairs were
pushed back, cigars lighted and several
toasts and addresses keenly enjoyed, with
Secretary W. E. Chappell as toastmaster.
William Hill, chairman of the committee
on arrangements, spoke on the profession
of the gardener, C. S. McNair on carna-

tions with reference to the present state
of business. Other speakers were: J.
B. Channing, John A. Macrae, Alexander
Macrae, Thomas F. Keller, ex-President
James Hockey, Charles Bellows, of
Adamsdale, Mass.; Herbert Leech, Alex-
ander M. Kennie, President J. F. Schel-
lenger, W. S. Pino, Robert Johnston,
Michael Sweeney, D. E. Newell, Henry
Patry and Willard B. Wilson. Mr. Wil-
son told of his experiences with the
subjects of the Turkish Empire during
his recent visit to the Holy Land. Ex-
President William Appleton and Edward
O'Brien were the last speakers, after
which Henry Patry gave an enjoyable
reading.

SCRANTON. PA.

The Florists' Club met January 19 at
Guernsey's hall, with about fifty mem-
bers present. The club is growing rapidly.
The membership consists of florists and
growers from all over this county and
growers from Luzerne. They decided to
hold a chrysanthemum show in the fall.
Nearly all the members who took part
in the discussion were convinced that a
good show would be a boon for the
florists. A. J. Guttman, of New York,
was present and helped to make the meet-
ing lively. We would be glad to see
him again at our meeting.

The following varieties of carnations
were displayed and greatly admired by
all the members, and the exhibitors wiU
surely receive many orders: A. J. Gutt-
man, New York, Victory; John Haines,
Bethlehem, Pa., John Haines; R. Fischer,

PITTSBUBG.

The Market

Should one, taking a stroll among the
flower shops toward the last of the
week, have asked about business he would
have brought forth very unsatisfactory
replies. It was entirely unnecessary to
ask; you could see and know without
asking.

Society is taking a rest and the con-
glomeration of weather does not seem
to help matters any with the small
trade, which has been decidedly oflf. The
street stands are selling stock very
cheap and the price cards stuck up on
some of the stands give some of the
growers a shock as they pass by, and
they are wondering what they will get
for their stock in May if it is being
sold for almost nothing in January,
However, the wholesalers are getting
very good prices for strictly fancy stock
in both roses and carnations and are
not complaining much, but the people
to be pitied are the growers who are only
producing ordinary stock; their averages
are sure to be low in such times.

Various Notes.

Tuesday, January 16, we had the high-
est wind record for a continued storm
known to this vicinity and Sunday, Jan-
uary 21, will go on record as the warmest
January day. It was a regular May day.

Mrs. E. A. Williams, who was east
last week, contracted a cold that has
confined her to her home since.

Jos. Jones has refurnished his shop
and the improvements seem to be bring-
ing increased trade.

John Baldinger, for many years with
Elliott & Ulam, and afterwards with
T. M. Ulam, is now located with Jos.
Jones. He is one of the old timers.

James Dell, who has been quite ill
since before the holidays, is again able
to be out, but showing the effects of his
illness. Hoo-Hoo.

CINCINNATL

The Market

Business the past week has been first
class. Everyone seems to have had his
share and there is a general good feeling
all around. There was nothing special
going on, but the demand seemed to be
very general. We have been having a
few days of weather which has broken all
records since the weather bureau was
established. January 21 the thermome-
ter reached the highest ever known in
this season of the year. It registered
74 degrees. Inside of greenhouses it was
as high as 95 degrees. That this will have
a bad effect upon stock goes without
saying, but a cold wave is looked for.

The supply of stock is scarcely equal
to the demand. This is especially true
of roses, which are snapped up as fast as
they come in and at first-class prices.
There has been a good run upon Beau-
ties and the price has held up well. Car-
nations are just about equal to the de-
mand. The price on them is holding up
in good shape; in fact, there has been
an advance all along the line. Lilies
are in good demand and more could be
sold to good advantage. All kinds of
bulbous stock have been doing fine and
the market has been kept cleaned up

from day to day. Tulips are now coming
much heavier and in all colors. Violets
are somewhat scarce and the demand
for them is consequently heavy. The
price has not changed from last week.
Other kinds of stock in season is moved
out quickly.

Various Notes.

The next meeting of the Florists' So-
ciety will be the annual rose show and
special efforts are being made to make
it a success this year. The date is Sat-
urday, February 10, and all entries must
be made by two o'clock in the afternoon
in order to compete. Schedules can be
had by addressing the secretary. This
will be an especially good time for
growers to show anything new which
they may have as the S. A. F. medals
will be awarded this year same as last.

R. A. Betz, while putting up a decora-
tion, fell from a step-ladder and was
severely bruised. Luckily no bones were
broken, but he is confined to his bed.

During a severe wind the ends of
several houses in the plant of Theo. Bock,
of Hamilton, O., were blown in. The
damage was not very heavy.

Visitors during the past week were
Mike Singer, of New York; Mr. Hon-
aker, of Lexington, Ky., Mr. Kunzeman,
of Louisville, Ky., and B. Eschner, of
Philadelphia.

Champaign, III. — J. E. Yeats, one
of the most prosperous of the smaller
florists, is going to open a handsomely
furnished retail store in the heart of the
city. Mr. Yeats is an especially skillful
grower of roses.

OMAHA.

Omaha is to have a flower show next
November. The regular monthly meeting
of the Omaha and Council Bluffs floriste
was held January 11, with about fifteen
in attendance, including the manager of
the auditorium, who is interested in hav-
ing an exhibition on the same plan as
that conducted hj the directors of Con-
vention hall at Kansas City. It was de-
«'ided to hold another meeting on January
15 and at this meeting definite steps were
taken toward the consummation of the
project.

NEV YORK.

The Market

The weather establishes New York as
■m ideal winter resort. No need of go-
ing to California or Florida. Easter is
already asserting itself, and the plants-
men evidently are preparing for it
lieartily. Advance orders are already be-
ing booked, for the shortage of the past
is not forgotten.

The market seems to be fully supplied
with everything but American Beauties.
•Small & Sons, with their Washington din-
ners, and a big affair at the Waldorf Sat-
urday evening, took everything in the
market, and were buying from the re-
tailers to meet their requirements. The
dinners society gave before its departure
for Ormond, the auto shows and some
notable weddings kept everybody busy.

Lilac is now abundant and sweet peas,
tulips and mignonette. No danger of
any shortage in these staples from now
on. Of white and yellow narcissi, valley,
liyacinths and lilies there are always
enough and to spare. Carnations are
plentiful and prices have dropped fifty

per cent since the holidays. McKinley's
day next week will doubtless emphasize
their growing popularity. Many Maids
are off color.

The wholesalers seemed to have noth-
ing left to sell Saturday evening but
violets, and even these were growing
scarce as the evening shadows fell. Top
prices, however, held at 75 cents and
many went at 50 cents a hundred dur-
ing the week, while the left-overs found
the streets, and at 25 cents a bunch were
on sale at every corner.

Variottf Notes.

Cleary's ferneries and sundries were
well watered last week by an overflow
from a fire in the building they occupy
on Vesey street.

Emil Schloss, of Schloss Bros., is visit-
ing his western customers, and last week
was in St. Louis.

Fenrich is shipping a good many vio-
lets and Eichmonds out of the city. His
list of growers had an addition of a rose
expert last week, who is one of the "top-
notchers. ' '

Queen Beatrice, Kramer's new rose,
has been on exhibition at A. J. Gutt-
man 's the past week and has attracted
much interest. It is a brilliant pink, a
cross between Chatenay and Liberty. At
the February meeting of the New York
Club a vase of the novelty will be ex-
hibited.

Geo. Saltford is engaged in the non-
elevating routine of jury duty. This is
his second week of it. It 's a poor remedy
for a man convalescing from the grip.

Jos. Millang has also been called upon
to assume outside obligations. On Janu-
ary 18 he was married to Miss Hattie
Shaken, of Bayside, daughter of the

English florist, at one time in the retail
business in New York and now retired.
The happy couple are now at Washing-
ton on their wedding trip. The expert
horseman, Charles Millang, rode beside
the carriage on his Kentucky mare, doing
some expert handshaking while cantering
to the station. The wedding ceremony
took place in the Episcopal Cathedral,
which was handsomely decorated. Amer-
ican Beauties were used profusely at the
home of the bride. Congratulations are
universal, as the bridegroom is very
popular in the trade.

The annual dinner of the New York
Florists* Club will be held Saturday
evening, February 3, and Walter Sheri-
dan has 200 tickets ready for the appli-
cants, and at least half of these should
be taken. Out of such a splendid mem-
bership as this club shows, it is hard to
understand why any member fails to at-
tend its best reunion of the year. I
predict over 100 present. Patrick
O'Mara will be toastmaster. A fine
vaudeville entertainment has been pro-
vided. The St. Denis hotel is the place,
seven o'clock the hour, and Messrs.
Sheridan, Haffner and Weathered the
committee. You can't afford to miss it.

At 4 o'clock on Saturday, January
27, the Nassau County Horticultural So-
ciety will enjoy its first annual dinner, at
the Oriental hotel, Glen Cove, L. I. A
great treat is promised by Alex Mac-
kenzie, the secretary. The Orange
smoker, on February 2, is to be an
elaborate affair if Peter Duff and Joe
Manda are not romancing. On February
14 the long list of happy reunions will
end at Poughkeepsie, which President
Eeynolds promises will exceed all its
predecessors.

Society has begun the exodus to the
sunny south. Florida, Bermuda and Ja-

rapidly. Lent, too, already casts its
shadow, and has not altogether lost its
potency, and the florists know when it
arrives without looking at their alma-
nacs.

S. Jacobs & Sons, Brooklyn, have just

Geo. Cotsonas & Co. are handling a

the sensation its graceful decorative ef-
fect produced at the annual banquet of
the Lincoln Club. Now it is hard to un-

Some grand specimens of cibotium

The most interesting arrangement on

illustration of a perfect Japanese vil-
lage was exhibited. You can imagine
how blase New York took notice when I
tell you the street in front was so
crowded that pedestrians had to use the
road to pass the windows. This only
illustrates how easily novelty and curios-
ity affects the average New Yorker and
indicates the only way in which a flower

The Market.

The improvement in the cut flower
market mentioned last week in this col-
umn has continued. Business, both in
the city and out of town, is excellent,
the supply in many cases being a little
behind the demand. Beauties are scarce ;
the medium grades are almost out of the
market. Long-stemmed flowers are a
little higher in price, the quality excel-
lent. The best of the short-stemmed

flowers are good, but some are not pre-
sentable. Liberties are also a little off
crop. There are only a few Eichmonds
coming in, but these seem to be popu-
lar with the buyers, who say they are
fully equal to Liberty. The scarcity of
white roses and white carnations of the
lower grades is somewhat made up by
the increase in La Eeine tulips, which
are used in design work. The better
flowers are much sought for table decora-
tions. Freesia is increasing in quantity;
the quality is as good or better than
seen here in former seasons. Acacia
pubescens has made its appearance, the
Leo Niessen Co. having a monopoly of
this flower. Single daffodils are very
plentiful. Carnations have fallen off a
little in supply; the average quality is
not quite so high as a month ago, due
probably to the unseasonably warm
weather. Violets are lower in price.

Holmesburg.

This is the fag end of the season with
the palm growers, the heavy demand of
the fall and early winter having de-
pleted the stock to some extent. Charles
D. Ball's houses indicate that he has
bad a splendid season so far, with im-

mense quantities of stock coming on for
later sales this season and for next fall's
business. Mr. Ball's palms are known
all over the country for their high stand-
ard of excellence. He grows a general
assortment. Kentia Belmoreana and
Kentia Forsteriana are his leading varie-
ties, but I am glad to say they are not
grown to the exclusion of such old-time
favorites as Areca Lutescens, Latania
Borbonica, Cocos Weddelliana, crotons,
pandanus and ferns in small pots for
ferneries, and also larger sizes of the
Boston type, the latter being used as
fillers, so to speak, after the early palm
sales have left spaces in the houses.
Shifting palms into larger sizes is now
the order of the day. A new boiler,
Hitchings pattern, has just been in-
stalled. Eeaders of the Eeview will be
glad to know that both Mr. Ball and Mr.
Taplin were hard at work and predict a
great future for the palm business.

Farmers' Institute.

A very successful meeting of the
Farmers' Institute, under the joint aus-
pices of the State Department of Agri-
culture, the Pennsylvania Horticultural
Society and the Florists' Club, was held
at Horticultural hall on the afternoon
and evening of January 16. Edwin Lons-
dale presided over a very select gather-
ing of chosen spirits. The principal fea-
ture from a florist's standpoint was a
very interesting talk oh hybridization by
Antoine Wintzer, of West Grove, Pa. Mr.
Wintzer spoke with especial enthusiasm
of the work done by Dr. Van Fleet, who
in a quieter way, seems to be fully the
peer of the famous Luther Burbank. The
Hon. Thomas L. Phillips gave some inter-
esting facts about commercial fertilizers.
In the evening Dr. J. V. C. Boberta gave
his illustrated lecture on plants for the
sick-room, proving that growing plants
and flowers are beneficial in the sick-
room from a medical and scientific stand-
point, to say nothing of their cheering
influence on the patient. A. L. Martin,
Secretary of Agriculture at Harrisburg,
was among those present.

What's in a Name ?

Every florist will admit that a rose
by any other name would not smell so
sweet, and also that the naming of a new
plant or flower is a very important point
in its future career. In this connection
it may be of interest to speak of the
naming of one of the newer types of
Boston fern. This plant was first shown

tion of John S. Hay, of the H. A. Dreer
Co., who asked the exhibitor the name.
The exhibitor replied that he intended to
call it the Improved Nephrolepis Piersoni.
Mr. Hay thought this would be a great
mistake and suggested that the exhibitor
call it after himself, so the fern was
named Nephrolepis Barrowsii, and under
this name the new claimant to popular
favor is progressing nicely.

Variofif Notes.

John Degnan, of the Cnicago Bose Co.,
was in this city a fortnight ago, buying
supplies for his new concern. N. B. —
This note was delayed until Mr. Degnan
got safely home with the muffler which
he won in New York, not Philadelphia.

W. & Harry F. Evans, of Eowland-
vUle, have begun cutting from their
wonderful Acacia pubescens, over which
they erected a new greenhouse a year or
two ago. This flower is much sought
after for its decorative effect. The Leo
Niessen Co. is handling the entire stock.

The store, wagons, etc., of the Hugh
Graham Co., at 104 South Thirteenth
street, were last wees transferred to the
Wm. Graham Co., who are now carrying
on business at both this store and at their
own, a few doors further south. Wm.
Graham stated on Monday that he ex-
pected to carry on both stores until his
lease on the old store expires, when the
entire business will be carried on at 104
,South Thirteenth street. The final dis-
position of the Hugh Graham Co. 's green-
houses at Logan has not yet been deter-
mined.

M. Bice & Co. report the sale of their
new adjustable novelty baskets to be phe-

nomenal; they are having a hard time
to keep up with the orders.

The event of the week in wholesale
circles has been the opening of 8. 8.
Pennock's new building mentioned last
week. This occurred on Monday, and what
was intended as a quiet business
move developed into quite a social
feature, a gathering of over 100 doing
honor to the occasion. Addresses were
made by John Westcott, Bobert Baft,
Henry F. Michell and John Fowler,
Response was made by S. 8. Pennock
and Edwin Lonsdale sang his "Duke of
York." There were music and refresh-
ments.

George Waterfield, of Wyndmoor, will
rebuild some of his houses the coming
season. Mr. Waterfield, formerly a tea
rose grower, has devoted his attention to
American Beauties this season.

Clarence J. Watson was married on
Wednesday, January 24. His many
friends wish him happiness.

H. H. Battles has been using calla
lilies and Adiantum Farleyense in com-
bination for table decorations.

W. J. Baker has been handling a very
fine grade of freesia.

W. E. McKissick has some fine varie-
ties of carnations not often seen, among
them Cardinal and Moonlight, both of
high grade.

Jacob Andre, an employee of Charles
Fox, died last Friday. He was only 18
years of age.

T. N. Yates & Co., of Mt. Airy, are
sending very fine Easter lilies to the
Flower Market.

Edw. Reid believes that cooler weather
will tone up the carnations wonderfully.

Eugene Bernheimer is making a suc-
cess of his new side issue, mushrooms.

H. Bayersdorfer & Co. report many
orders already being booked for Easter.

Wm. J. Muth says that business im-
proved as soon as he returned from his
trip. He does not say whether this was
the result of his coming home or whether
he used judgment in choosing the time
of his absence. Phil.

The Market

Trade still holds up remarkably well,
and instead of falling off as is usually
the case at this season, so closely follow-
ing on the holidays, it shows a good in-
crease over the last week. The amount of
business done so far this month has
probably never been equaled by any pre-
vious January business in this city. The
wholesalers have not been able to sup-
ply the demand the past week and have
had to refuse many orders. All kinds of
good stock is bringing the best of prices.
Beauties are in great demand and fancy
carnations are retailing as high as $1.50
per dozen. The quality of stock being
sent in is unusually good. Ed Ellsworth,
at Geo. M. Kellogg 's, is receiving some
of the finest Enchantress carnations ever
seen on this market. The Marshall Field
funeral in Chicago last Friday caused
a small flower famine, the usual amount
of stock received from that city failing
to materialize. The only trouble here is
the lack of stock to fill the orders.

boring town of Independence Sunday
and called on the growers. We found
Ed Bunyar down in the boiler pit indus-
triously working to increase his coal bill.
Mr. Bunyar 's greenhouse is a model es-
tablishment and shows what can be ac-
complished on a small place by persever-
ance and strict attention to business.
He has only about 8,000 feet of glass, but
the stock, both in quantity and quality,
would be a credit to many places twice
its size. Only enough cut flowers, with
the exception of violets, are grown to
supply his home trade, the balance of the
place being devoted principally to the
growing of 2-inch stuff for the wholesale
trade. Mr. Bunyar says that he has
never been able to grow enough to sup-
ply the demand. He has one small house
in violets that are in splendid condition.
He will erect two more houses for the
coming summer, to be used for violets.

Prom here we went to Mr. Broman's
place, east of town, where we found
everything in good shape. Mr. Broman
grows cut flowers and disposes of all
his stock to a firm in Kansas City.

On the way back we stopped at R. S.
Brown & Sons' new range of houses.
There is about 40,000 feet of glass in
this range, planted principally to roses

and carnations, which are in fine shape.
Being Sunday, we found no one at home
here but Fred Grofsky, the carnation
grower, who did the honors for us.

Variotu Notes.

The Shaeffer Floral Co. has received
a fine new automobile which is about
the swellest thing in town.

Ed Humf eld's place is looking fine. His
carnations are in full crop and he is
cutting some fine ones. He reports a
very busy week, and has two big decora-
tions on hand for next week.

Visitors last week were Wm. Hage-
mann. New York, and R. L. Isherwood,
ChiJlicothe, Mo. Kay-See.

TARRYTOWN. N. Y.

The annual dinner of the Tarrytown
Horticultural Society was held January
17 with the weather perfect, the attend-
ance up to the average and the menu as
good as the best.

During the day the award committee
of the New York Florists ' Club spent the
afternoon at Scarboro, passing upon the
merits of the F. R. Pierson Co. 's new
carnations. Messrs Traendly, John
Young and William Plumb returned to
the city before the banquet but Messrs.

Scott, Totty and Manda did it ample
justice. Other visitors from New York
were Messrs. Wheeler, Shaw and Pepper.
Secretary Newbrand presided in the ab-
sence of the society's president. Frank
Millard, an attorney, was toastmaster.
F. R. Pierson was among the speakers,
most of whom were not members of the
trade. John White sang Scotch songs so
sweetly that John Birnie would have
been in ecstacy if he could have heard
them.

The society is in a most flourishing
condition, and made its usual great ex-
hibition record during the past year, and
the greatest harmony prevails. The long
and faithful services of the treasurer
were recognized by the presentation of a
valuable gold locket, Secretary New-
brand doing the honors in commendatory
terms. The gathering disbanded at mid-
night, declaring it was the most de-
lightful reunion in the society's his-
tory. J. A. S.

Peoria, III. — After an illness of sev-
eral months J. C. Murray is now able to
be at his place of business a part of
I each day. With health and strength re-
turning he hopes soon to be able to de-
vote full time to the business.

Litchfield, Mich. — John P. Bishop
says that last year's crop of cucumbers
would have been ruined had it not been
that just as the white fly was at its worst
the Keview told how to use hydrocyanic
acid gas. At present he has a crop
of lettuce, to be followed by cucumbers.

Albany, N. Y. — L. Menand has sent
out a notice through his attorneys stat-
ing that the recent bankruptcy proceed-
ings recorded here were taken by H. K
Menand, a former dealer in supplies, and
not by L. Menand, who is "a citizen of
considerable means, doing a lucrative
business for many years and far from
being in the position of a bankrupt. ' '

Baltimore, Md. — For importing and
cultivating palms, ferns, trees, plants
and flowers of every kind the Fernery

authorized capital stock of $15,000, di-
vided into 1,500 *ares of $10 each.
The incorporators are Charles M. Acker-
man, William D. Allen, Frank V. R.
Viers, Walter M. Jordan and Harry W.
Nice.

Seed Trade News.

AMERICAN SEED TRADE ASSOaATMM.

Pres., W. H. Grenell. Sagrlnaw, W. S., Mien.;
Flnt Vice- Pres., L. L. May, St. Paul; Sec'y and
Treas., C. E. Kendel, Cleveland. The 21th annual
meeting: will be held at Toledo, G., June 26-28, 1906.

W. C. Beckert's market gardeners'
list has the names of varieties in both
English and German.

1). M. Fekry & Co. did not hesitate
to price scarce items at what they are
Avorth in the 1906 retail catalogue.

The catalogue houses report that
business is opening up in good shape,
and the outlook for 1906 is bright.

The Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, re-
ports that contract business for 1906 is
opening up ahead of all previous records.

It is interesting to note the proportion
of half-tone illustrations in the 1906
catalogues. The wood-cut has had its
day.

The greenhouse gardeners are com-
plaining that the dark weather of the
past few weeks has put a heavy loss
upon them, owing to retarded growth
resulting therefrom to their vegetable
crops.

A Bermuda grower is offering Harrisii
of the 1906 crop, delivered freight and
tluty paid, at New York, at the following
prices to planters: .') to 7-inch bulbs,
$25 per thousand; 7 to 9, $55 per thou-
sand; 9 to 11, $125 per thousand.

Some of the sweet corn growers re-
port a hard time getting their stocks
into proper shape for shipping. Consid-
erable hand picking is necessary to make
the samples merchantable, and to bring
the germinating quality up to standard.

Well posted seed travelers report that
the conditions prevailing two weeks ago
do not apply to the present. They find
that an intervening week makes a very
great difference and their ideas of
things in general change at each railroad
station.

The Johnson & Stokes 1906 catalogue
shows an agriculturalist holding and ad-
miring a June Pink tomato, while in the
very near distance is a substantial look-
ing building labeled "Bank," the infer-
ence being that the planter of J. & S.
seeds will at least have money in the
bank if he does not own the institution
itself.

The jobbing houses are more rushed
than is usual at this time of the year.
Keports are that the continued mild
weather is forcing an early demand for
seeds in all sections, and shipments that
are booked for the end of February are
called for immediately. To comply with
such requests and keep up with the
January bookings at the same time is
not easy rolling.

The present low price for market
onions is explained by onion growers as
being the result of an open winter. The
bulbs stored have been easy to get at,
the soft weather has made the quality
poor in many cases, and an endeavor to
unload for fear of a continued spoiling
has forced the market down. They all
look for very high prices for the article
that will carry until the poorer lots are
disposed of.

vesting of the late sorts o- beans, such
as Wax-podded and Scarlet Runners, was
very awkward and the thrashing and
preparation of these seeds for export
most difficult. The unusually wet weather
during the harvesting of the late and
delicate wrinkled sorts of peas rendered
the handpicking of them most trouble-
some, and caused a serious delay in the
shipment of early orders. The prices
of peas and beans in general are low.
Borecole or kale and cabbage, though
the crop in general being below average,
sell at low prices on account of little
demand. Carrots are not so much in de-
niand as usual, which might be due to
the somewhat high prices, though they
ou.er no equivalent for the comparatively
small crop. The same may be said of
kohl rabi. Lettuces and endives are not
quite so much in demand as usual at
''omparatively low prices, probably in
consequence of the still cheaper but in-
ferior southern-grown seeds. Onions
meet with a ready sale at high prices.
Leek are getting scarce at higher prices
than usual. Parsley, parsnip and rad-
ishes meet with an average demand at
moderate prices. Turnip and swedes are
less in demand. Spinach and cress are in
good demand and will soon be sold out.

Flower seeds, principally asters, zin-

etc., are largely demanded and partly
sold out at comparatively low prices. In
general the demand for flower seeds ap-

Growing crops of biennials and peren-

and mild autumn weather. The winter
is seasonable.

ishes, there will not be much left at tne
end of the season. The sales of flower
seeds might in some cases be better. The
high prices of the better classes of asters
seem to have acted as a deterrent.

The weather has been unusually open.
The moist conditions have been unfavor-
able for the drying of late articles, such
as leeks and French beans, so that buyers
have been perforce kept waiting for de-
livery. It is to be hoped that some frosty
weather will soon supervene, or the old
saying "that a black Christmas means
a white Easter" is only too likely to be
realized, and a cold and late spring is
just what the Erfurt seed grower does
not want. — ^Horticultural Trade Journal.

HOLLOW STALK OF CELERY.

Beferring to the article on celery seed-
ing prematurely on page 505 of the
Eeview for January 11, we are in re-
ceipt of the following from Thos. H.
White, of the Maryland Agricultural
Experiment Station, College Park, Md. :

In your last edition, tlie remarlis on the hol-
low atallc of celery are entirely at variance
with tlie conclusions drawn from experiments
conducted here. Seed imported from i^ance in-
yariably grew solid. American-grown seed
ranged all the way from ten to forty per cent
of pithy stalks (variety Golden Self- Branching),
and all grown under exactly the same condi-
tions. Seed saved here from pithy stalk devel-
oped Into pithy celery; not a single solid stalk.

By virtue of these experiments I am willing
to positively assert that by rigid selection this
pithy celery can be eliminated. The percentage
of green celery In most of the stocks of Amer-
ican grown seed certainly shows a want of close
selection. To the growers here these green
stalks are nearly as much of a loss as the pithy.

Apparently our seed growers are paying more
attention to this matter, as some California
stock tested here this season was almost up to
the French imported.

We take pleasure in presenting the
above as throwing additional light on an
important subject. The item in the
Review to which it refers was in sub-
stance a condensed statement of what
certain celery growers of long experience
thought about the different matters
treated. The growing of celery as prac-
ticed by them, although it may be termed
an art, is not an exact science, and for
this reason even they differ as to the
causes that produce defects in the crop.

That the tendency of seed grown from
a pithy stalk would be toward the devel-
opment of a pithy celery no one will
deny, but that even the closest selection
will altogether eliminate the pithy stalk
and assure a crop free from that defect
under all conditions of soil and weather
is still a debatable question in the minds
of the celery growers consulted by the
Review.

Not wishing to question in any way
the great value of the findings of the
experiments conducted at the different
agricultural stations in matters of this
kind, the Review must hold to the sub-
stance of its item as voicing the opinions
of some very successful and experienced
celery growers.

The growers of celery are all aware
that there has been, and in many places
is yet, a predilection in favor of French-
grown seed of the Golden Self -Blanching
celery. Experiments similar to those
mentioned above have been conducted by
private individuals as well as by repre-
sentatives of the colleges for a consider-
able time. The findings of these experi-
ments were all in line with those men-
tioned by the professor, but they do not
disprove this: French-grown seed has
been frequently known to produce a
good crop one year and a portion of the
same seed retained for the next year's

TMs finest ot all Pink Sweet Peas we introduced last season. It is a striking

GT>ADY8 tTjM wIN has a very large and bold flower, not hooded, but with a very striking
upright crinlcled or wavy standard, and broad wings. Color, a pale rosy pink A strik-
ing feature is that about 75 per cent of the long flower stems are with ionr blooms, which
is a most unusual thing in Sweet Peas. It was first raised four years ago, viz., in 1901, and
has kept perfectly true and fixed in character each year since and we have no hesitation
in saying it is a bona-fide departure in pinks. For marliet growers especially it cannot be
surpassed, and is just the lovely pink color which is so much in demand. $4.60 per pound.

Celery seeding prematurely is in my

opinion caused by the plants being at

next to impossible to raise good celery
plants there; they should be raised in
cold frames right on the level ground.
If the outside is banked up and the glass
covered with mats or blankets in the
night, frost can be kept out. The seed
should be put in in the latter part of
January, and it does not hurt it if the
ground freezes slightly; the bed should
at all times be kept moist, not soggy,
from the time the seed is put in till the
plants are out.

If your ground is at any time apt to be
too dry for the production of first-class
celery, grow something else. If you want
to grow celery get some ground that is
suitable or irrigate.

A neighbor of mine has four acres of
land; the top eighteen inches to two
feet is a wash; it is a gravelly loam that
water passes freely through and it is very
rich; the subsoil is a hard sticky clay
that no water can pass through and there
is always water flowing on top of this
clay from irrigated lands above. This
land looks dry on top but you can always
kick your foot down to moist soil if it
is cultivated. It needs no irrigation
and is ideal garden land, and, I think,
ideal celery land. He raises about 2,000
stalks every year and always has a large
per cent go to seed. I have raised about
10,000 and never had one go to seed.
My land is a well manured but heavy
clay, that if dry will crack wide open so
you can stick your foot in the cracks.
I irrigate once a week and always have
the largest and sweetest celery when fall
comes. I plant my seed in the open
ground in spring in a prepared seedbed
and transplant, raising radish, lettuce or
beets first on the celery ground. He plants
his celery seed in the hotbed and sets it
out early in spring. S.

Burpee's Earliest White— in contrast with Mont Blanc to the left— see text below.

NEW SWEET PEA

BURPEE'S EARLIEST WHITE

Origin

Burpee's Earliest Wliite

Florists who force Sweet Peas can imagine our delight when, two years ago,
our friend Mb. Thos. Gould, of Ventura County, California, found that in a
field of the Re-selected Burpee's Earliest of All. which he was growing for us, one plant-
exactly similar in all other respects— produced pure white flowers. Needless to say this plant
was carefully guarded and by growing two crops each season we are now able to introduce
Burpee's Earliest White as the only white Sweet Pea that will be used for forcing or extreme
early crop just as soon as its unique merits are known and suificient seed can be obtained.

has been carefully tested at Foedhook and
the originator's crops thoroughly inspected
in California during the seasons of 1904 and 1905. After returning from our first visit the past
season (in July) we wrote that of the new crop then starting (with Mont Blanc alongside) we
should like a photograph. On August 22, 1905, Mb. Thos. Gould sent a photograph from
which the above illustration has been reproduced and wrote :

"The crop planted July 12 came in
bloom August 20 and is now quite white
as a field witr no sports whatever show-
ing. The habit is without exception uni-
formly dwarf and even. The coloring is
clear white and the stock is of
unusual sturdiness, both in germi-
nation and in growing qualUies.
The plants of Mont Blanc,
from seed planted the same
day, are as yet showing no
signs of bloom. In
this line I should
remark that in
former tests where-
in I quoted the
Mont Blanc as a
white variety next
earliest bloomer it
related only to one
or two plants in the
lot tested as com-
petitors. As to the
general blooming
of the two varieties
the Mont Blanc was
too far behind for
real consideration.
...A description of

Burpee's "Earliest of All" excepting as to
color will correctly apply to thisnew pea."

stems six to eight inches long. Each stem has two or three of the fully expanded well-formed
flowers, of good size and placed close together.

From seed planted on May 18 last nrRPEE'.s Earliest White was in full bloom on July

cause there is no other variety so quick-
growing or sure-cropping, excepting only The Re-selected Burpee's Earliest of All— the earliest
pink and white. Like the latter, the plants under glass begin to bloom freely when only
twelve inches high and continue to grow and flower profusely until, when six or eight feet tall
they reach the top of the greenhouse: the plants can then be cut back, if desired, and will
make an equally vigorous second growth. **"A11 florists know, of course that the regular
varieties of Tall Sweet Peas are of no value whatever for forcing if early flowers are desired.

THE WEATHER IN 1905.

Prof. Cox, in the Chicago office, has
weather records of interest to growers.
The coldest day in 1905 was 18 degrees
below zero, February 13 ; warmest day, 95
degrees July 18. Days below zero were
six in January and nine in February.
On fifty-one days the temperature was
below freezing. The mean temperature
for the year was practically normal.
Last killing frost last spring, April 7.
First killing frost this fall, October 21.
Total rainfall 35.36 inches, about two
inches above normal. Heaviest rainfall
in one day, 2.78 inches, May 11; wet-
test month, May, 5.14 inches. Longest
period without rain, eleven days, in Sep-
tember. Average velocity of wind 15.4
miles per hour; highest monthly average
velocity in January and February, the
coldest months, thereby greatly increas-
ing coal consumption. Number of clear
days, 101. Of possible hours of sunshine
we had 60.7 per cent, about 3.3 per cent
above the normal. The later months were
marked by an unusual proportion of sun-
shine.

PRESSURE SYSTEM.

I have a heating plant which has been
in successful operation for eight years,
but recently the upright steam boiler
broke down and I replaced it with a coil
boiler. Now it does not work. The coil
boiler is two feet lower at the flows and
one foot higher at the returns than the
old one. The expansion barrel was one
foot higher than the flows, but it refused
to work with the new heater. I put it ten
feet above the highest flow, with the re-
sult that all the flows get very hot, but
beyond the drop to the returns every-
thing is very cold. When I raised the
tank I put a check valve on the return
near the boiler; it gets hot, but refuses
to open and let in the water. Could I do
away with the barrel and use the city
water pressure, which is 50 to 60 pounds!

S. H.

You do not state the style of check
valve you installed in the return. If it
is a swing check it should give no trou-
ble, but if it is a gravity valve you can-
not make it work with satisfaction on a
water system. I am of the opinion that
you can dispense with the barrel alto-
gether. Connect the city pressure direct
to the main return near the boiler and
use a valve to regulate the pressure to
suit the fire and the outside temperature.
Open the valve a little in mild weather
with moderate firing, but when cold and
firing hard open the valve to the full
extent. L. C. C.

MILWAUKEE.

Trade has been unusually brisk the
past week, principally due to the large
amount of funeral work. The weather
has been extremely mild, although it was
very unfavorable for the growing of
stocky being cloudy and dark most of the
time. Carnations led; tne supply of
^"hite and ..-ght pinks was short. In
roses there was also a heavy call, prin-
cipally in the cheaper grades for funeral
work. Prices seem to be in excess of
last season at this time in both roses
and carnations. Violets are selling
slowly; there appears to be very little
outside call for them. There are too
many in the market for the local de-
mand and to be consumed at a profitable
figure. Stevia has been very plentiful
throughout the entire season, but the
supply is shortening up now and prices
have correspondingly gone higher. Bulb-

The Right Ribbons

arc the only kind to consider when you
want your decorations right. A $5.00
order will start you and it will not be long
until you buy them in much larger quan-
tities. There is a ''something'* about the
RIGHT RIBBONS, not found in others.
Leading florists all use them. Samples are
free.

The Market

Trade, the past week, has kept up
fairly well with all the dealers. Eoses
of all varieties are scarce and, were it
not for the fact that the small towns
adjacent to the Twin Cities contribute
greatly to our supply, the shortage
would be felt very hard by some of tne
dealers. Prices are maintained nicely.
Good Brides, Maids, Gates, Chatenay and
Bichmond are wholesaling for $8 per
hundred, which makes it necessary for
the retailer to sell them at $2 per dozen,
and by carefully grading them, the best
can be sold for $2.50 and $3 per dozen.
American Beauties are not grown very
extensively. In consequence a great
many of them are shipped in, the whole-
sale price being $4 and $5 per dozen
and the retail $8 and $10 per dozen.
Carnations keep up well in price. Some
very nice ones are being supplied at $3
per 100, which can be sold readily at 75
cents a dozen over the counter. Fancy
varieties are retailing for $1.50 and $2
per dozen. Miscellaneous stock is in
abundance. Violets are holding their
own; one grower has been able to dis-
pose of all of his at $1 per 100 to the
retailers. This grower is the only one
in at least a dozen who has been suc-
cessful in growing violets this season to
a profit and while the others are some-
what discouraged they have not as yet
reached that point where they will dis-
card them.

Minneapolis.

The Rosary reports good business, and
while some difficulty has been experienced
in getting exactly what is called for they
have still been able to fill all orders.

Patthey & Thompson report fair busi-
ness, but they, the same as all others,
could do more.

The Whitted Floral Co. has a steady
trade and is well satisfied.

Ealph Latham is carrying a good gen-
eral stock and is handling some fine sin-

gle violets, which are shipped in by a
nearby grower.

The Powers Mercantile Co., also Don-
aldson & Co., department stores, are han-
dling considerable stock and are prepar-
ing for their seed trade, which is quite
heavy in packet seeds, lawn grass and
bulbs.

St. Paul

E. F. Lemke has been busy the past
week with funeral work, being favored
with a large number of designs; and,
like all the rest, has experienced some
difficulty in being able to fill some orders
for different varieties of roses.

C. F. Vogt reports good business, but
finds it hard to get good stock, especially
in roses. He received a shipment of
Perles, which was a pleasure to see, as
yellow roses have almost been a thing
of the past in this market.

L. L. May & Co. 's greenhouses look
good under the care of Ludwig Ander-
son. He has some nice Harrisii lilies
twelve or fifteen inches high, good stocky
plants, and which bear every indication
of good crop. He is cutting some fine
Richraonds, which sell fine at a good
figure.

The cold wave has just reached us
and will no doubt cut a big figure in the
coal bills.

DimCULTIES OF IMPORTING.

Much more flowering stock would be
imported by the California nurserymen
from European nurseries than there is at
present if there was any possible way of
getting such articles as azaleas and
rhododendrons packed so that they would
be of some value when opened.

I had the opportunity of seeing a ship-
ment from France unpacked during the
past week. One case contained 100 aza-
leas, all of them entirely worthless for
this season's sale, owing to the fact that
they were packed too dry and the leaves
entirely gone from the plants. Two
other cases, each containing rhododen-
drons, were just the reverse. The plants
were packed too closely together and
the heavy foliage, owing to the absence
of sufficient air around it, had almost
entirely dropped, and the flower buds
molded off for the same reason. The
balls of earth, however, strange to re-
late, were sufficiently moist and did not
appear to be damagea in any way, but
the entire shipment, which cost the
dealer over $200, he offered to sell for
$25 on the spot.

I have on various occasions had the
same experience, and I think the ship-
ments arriving in good order will not
average more than one in three. It
seems to be impossible to get the Euro-
pean growers to realize that the Pacific
coast is from four to six weeks distant
for freight, and that much cold weather
is encountered enroute before the stock
finally lands in California. We had the
same trouble years ago with our east-
ern nurserymen in our efforts to get
them to line the insides of their crates
with heavy paper, but there is now little
trouble in this regard.

Owing to our peculiar climate it must
be borne in mind that it is necessary for
us to have most of our stock in the

months that are the coldest in other
places. We consider March the latest
time that it is advisable to handle many
kinds of outdoor planis, and February
is usually much better. April is too
late owing to the fact that deciduous
.stock here is well out in leaf at that
time and to handle it means that quite
a risk will be taken.

But to return to the subject of pack-
ing, it is evident that the workmen at-
tending to that branch of the business
in Europe have no idea as to the length
of time the stock will remain in the
boxes, and it should be the special aim
of all the growers expecting to eater to
Pacific coast trade to personally see that
such packages that are intended for this
end of the world are correspondingly
packed. This fact should be impressed
on the French and Belgian growers by
their New York representatives when
orders are handled through them, as a
great deal more goods would be used if
there was any chance whatever of their
usually being received in good order.

The Market

The continued rainy weather, although
greatly needed by the country at large,
is quite a detriment to business in the
floral line. Flowers, especially roses, are
very scarce, owing to the absence of sun-
shine, and the prices are fully as high
as they were three weeks ago. Carnations _
are a little more plentiful but are also
bringing extra good prices for the sea-
son. Violets are in great abundance and
are being used largely in funeral work,
which at this time represents the bulk
of the business in our line. Outside
mums are still in evidence, but are get-
ting very scarce. Wild ferns are im-
proving "in quality daily and maidenhair
and smilax are getting in short supply.
A few dafifodils and narcissi are coming
into town and wo may expect them in
great quantity in a few days. Valley
and Roman hyacinths are in sufficient
numbers to fill all demands, which ap-
pear to be rather light for this class of
*took.

There is increasing interest in the

The Western New York Horticultural

meeting today at Bochester.

The Aurora Nursery Co., Aurora, 111.,
will enlarge its acreage and has author-
ized an increase in capital stock from
$5,000 to $25,000. A down-town office
will be opened in the Mercantile block.
The concern is > only two years old and
its business is much larger than was ex-
pected by the management.

On January 34 fire destroyed a large
packing house and storage building be-
longing to Kelley Bros., Dansville, N, Y.
The building was full of stock, a part
the property of Kelley Bros., but most
of it belonging to Morey Bros., whose
loss was $5,000. The loss on the build-
ing was $1,500. Both parties were in-
sufficiently insured.

The Wisconsin State Horticultural
Society, through the secretary, Frederic
Cranefield, of Madison, has issued a bul-
letin of advice to farmers on the pur-
chase and planting of nursery stock.
It is advised to buy stock held in storage
over winter, shipped early, planting
quickly; better results are said to be
thus obtained than by fall planting.

The Minnesota State Horticultural
Society, in its efforts to encourage the
raising of apple seedlings, has decided
to offer a premium of $100 each year
for five years, beginning in 1912, for
the best winter apple keeping until at
least March 1 under ordinary storage
conditions. Competition is open to con-
tiguous states. The seeds are to be
planted the coming spring.

OKLAHOMA NURSERYMEN.

The Oklahoma Association of Nursery-
men closed its session at Guthrie Janu-
ary 16 by the election of the following
officers : President, J. A. Lopeman, Enid ;
vice-president, J. W. Teterick, Blackwell ;
secretary and treasurer, C. E. Garee,
Noble; executive committee, C. E. Garee,
J. W. Teterick, J. T. Pierce, J. B. Tay-
lor and Mr. Collins.

The meetings were held at the office
of W. N. Spurloch and were attended by
the representatives of some fifteen terri-
torial nursery firms. The program was
of an informal character, all tending to
strengthen the members along lines of
better nursery and commercial practice.
E. Albertson, Bridgeport, Ind., president
of the American Association, who is an
indefatigable traveler, one who does not
rest well elsewhere than in a berth in a
sleeper, was present and added much of
interest from ,the store of his wide ex-
perience. He said that the nurserymen
of the north and east are just beginning

to appreciate the importance of the south-
west and there will be a large attend-
ance at the national society 's meeting in
Texas in June. Wm. Bernadine, of Par-
sous, Kan., and Mr. Cooper, of Winfleld,
Kan., were aiSo present.

The next meeting will be held the first
Tuesday in July.

RETAIL NURSERYMEN DINE.

The National Association of Eetail
Nurserymen held its third annual dinner
at the Whist Club, Rochester, N. Y.,
January 23. More than 100 were present
and Ihe affair was one of the most
pleasant in the history of social gath-
erings of the craft. Of course most of
those present were from the central New
York nursery region but a number came
considerable distances. J. M. Pitkin, o^
the C. W. Stuart Co., Newark, was
toastmaster. The principal speaker was
Stanley Watson, the silver-tongued
orator from the Lone Star state, the
judge of human nature whose portrayal
of the charms of fried chicken and cer-
tain native beverages caused the Ameri-
can Association to vote to meet in Texas
next June. Other speakers were John
Craig, Judge J. D. Lynn and Eev. Mur-
ray Bartlett.

SOUTHERN ASSOQATION.

Paul Abele, Jas. Newshorn, Joseph
Stockier, C. W. Eichling and H. A. Des-
pommier, a committee of the New Or-
leans Horticultural Society, have sent
out the following:

TO THE FLORISTS OF THE SOUTH: The
New Orleans Horticultural Society, having in

view to promote the industry of horticulture Ut
the southern states, have proposed the organiza-
tion of an Inter-statc association, which would
naturally bring the horticulturists of the south
in touch with each other, and would concen-
trate more of our southern trade within oui'
midst than has been the case heretofore. Wt'-
have gone east for our wants, when perhaps,
had we l£nown of the stoclss of our brotlioi
florists In the neighboring states, we could have
found the goods nearer home.

We thinly an inter-state association would be
the means of supplying Information by whicli
our trade that now goes east could be confined
among southern florists and nurserymen.

We contemplate annual conventions, at which
papers on southern methods of horticulture are
to be read and discussed. Trade exhibits
should form an Interesting part of these con-
ventions and be the means of becoming per-
sonally acquainted with our brother florists or
the south.

The success of this movement depends upon
your co-operation, and we should be pleased to
hear from you, giving us your opinion on the
subject.

A CANNA DEAL.

The Southern Floral Nursery Co.,
Fruitdale, Ala., states that it has sold
a new canna, Queen of Beauty, to the
Frank Cummings Bulb & Plant Co., of
Meridian, Miss., for $1,000, which they
say is probably the highest price ever
paid for a canna. This new canna is one
of six seedlings from Chautauqua grown
in 1904 and is, they say, without a doubt,
the best scarlet canna in existence. Al-
though belonging to the Crozy class, its
flowers are nearly equal in size to those

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

January 25, 1906.

TOLEDO, OHIO.

Club Meeting.

At the December meeting the Florists'
Club decided to hold a small exhibition
of plants and cut flowers at the date of
the regular March meeting and a com-
mittee composed of O. Krueger, T.
Magee and E. Kuhnke, was appointed to
work the matter up. At the last meet-
ing, on January 17, it was decided to in-
vite the general public as well as the
trade to inspect the same. Some of the
members thought that the Toledo florists
would not be able to make any kind
of a showing, but if everyone will bring
some of his best stuff there should cer-
tainly be no trouble to make an inter-
esting show.

At the last meeting Krueger Bros,
showed a fine bunch of Enchantress. J,
Gratopp showed a fine bunch of Lawson,
with a variegated, light pink and a red,
sport of the same, all produced by him-
self. The introducers of the new carna-
tion Candace sent a fine bunch that was
very much admired. E. A. Kuhnke had
a bunch of seedlings, a few of them fair,
but most of them no good, as seedlings
are apt to be. He also showed a bunch
of cyclamen in 6- and 7-inch three-quar-
ter pots that were thought to be all
right.

Business is reported as a little slow,
but carnations are so scarce that even
with the slow sales there are not enough
to supply the demand. Everybody is
busy. E. A. K.

LONDON, ONT.

The Gardeners' and Florists' Associa-
tion held its annual meeting January
13, the attendance being very good. Of-
ficers for 1906 were elected as follows:
President, R. Dengate; vice-presidents,
Wm. Trott and A. Mclnnes. Tom Wistow,
the secretary, was retained.

Seen interest was manifested in the
way the government grant to the vege-
table growers of Ontario had been spent,
the whole of it, $800, being monopolized
by the Toronto growers and spent in a
show last fall, which turned out to be
a failure, it was said. The London so-
ciety considered that it had been un-
fairly dealt with.

A deputation was also appointed by the
society, consisting of Messrs. Gammage,
Darch and Johnston, to interview the
honorable members for London and East
Middlesex, and further explain the wishes
and aims of the London Gardeners' As-
sociation.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

January 25, 190G.

LENOX, IVIASS.

The regular meeting of the Lenox Hor-
ticultural Society Avas hold January 20,
Vice-President F. Heereinans in the
chair. President Carlquist fell on the icy
sidewalk and broke his arm, and -was
not able to attend. The society has
adopted a scale of points for judging
vegetables and fruits at future exliibi-
tions. The ball committee reijorted pro-
gress and has engaged Gartlaud 's Tenth
Regiment orchestra from Albany for the
event, to be held Febrviary 6.

A paper on "Greenhouse Heating and
Boilers," by Chas. W. Gary, secretary of
the Greenhouse i^'itters ' Association for
New York and vicinity, was read, and
was esteemed by all members to be a
very valuable one. Mr, Gary strongly
recommends putting valves on all flows
and returns on each coil, also mains and
boilers. Then in case of accident the
crippled parts can be shut off and, if in
winter, the house prevented from freez-
ing, as is too often the case on plants
that are not valved. He also gave a his-
tory of hot water heating, which is be-
lieved to have been first used in the
year 1777 in France. After adjourn-
ment the members enjoyed a social hour.

MY MARYLAND

AVNOUVCEMEHT

We, THE H. WEBER Si SONS CO. of Oakland, Md.,

respectfully announce that The E. G. HiU Co. of Richmond, Ind., have
withdrawn from the contract made with us last spring, whereby they
would have Jointly with us dlBseminated our new white carnation.
My Maryland.

The variety has been on trial at Richmond (3000 plants) , Brooklyn
(300 plants). Philadelphia (1000 plants) and Toronto (1000 plants).
Reports from the first two named places characterize the variety as
being practically worthless, while from Toronto and Philadelphia favor-
able reports indicate that the variety is bearing out our claims for it.

Our own stock at Oakland is in elegant shape. An extremely wet

summer necessitated the holding of stock in a semi-dormant condition
after being housed, August 15 to September 1, thus making stock
too late for the fall shows. Since December Ist we have been cutting
grand blooms, and to prove our claims for the variety, we invite all
interested to come to Oakland and look it over.

While it is a source of regret to us that the variety has not proved
satisfactory in all places tried, we are satisfied that it will prove our
claims for it in at least some places besides our own.

We therefore announce that we will disseminate My Maryland as
per our advertisements, but before shipping any stock we give to each
and every one the right to cancel all or any portion of their orders.

JESSICA,

we believe, will succeed everywhere. It is even better than last year. As a red and
white variegated it has no competitors. Stock ready now.

Prices for botb varieties— $2.50 per doz.; $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000.

ABUNDANCE

The freest blooming of any carnation. A carnation
that pays for every inch of bench room it takes up. For
those who want quantity rather than extra size it is just
the thing:. It can be brought into bloom as early as you
please and continue all winter improving in size, quality
of flower and length and strength of stem.

Jamuart 25, 1906.

NEW ORLEANS.

Thinking of many past winters, we do
not remember of one which has given
us so many good outdoor flowers as this
one. Our Marechal Niel, Marie Henri-
ette, Lamarque, and Climbing Malmaison
are still blooming. No doubt they are
soon going to rest till the month of
March will start them again, but this
has created an unusual demand for rose
plants, and business is generally good
for this time of the year. Spring plants
at the market are fairly well advanced.

The erection of new dwellings in New
Orleans has been for the past months
enormous. Everyone has more or less a
plot of ground for flowers, so the pros-
pect for a good spring business is quite
encouraging. We know of many florists
who are propagating as much as they
can, or are sending orders to other quar-
ters for whatever they cannot grow.

Visitor in town, J. A. Bauer, of the
Paducah Pottery Co., Paducah, Ky.

The monthly meeting of the New Or-
leans Horticultural Society was well at-
tended. The organization of the Inter-
state Association among the horticultur-
ists of the south was the first subject
taken up. H. A. Despommier distributed
to each member one of the circulars
which have been mailed to many of the
southern florists, asking them for their
cooperation and their opinion on the sub-
ject. C. W. Eichling made a few re-
marks on the coming State Horticultural
Society convention, requesting all the
members of the society to attend the
meetings. The report of the treasurer,
which was turned over to the financial
committee, showed a nice standing.

After routine business the society pro-
ceeded to the monthly exhibit. This part
of the meetings is becoming quite an at-
traction and should be encouraged. The
committee on this matter was instructed
to prepare a list of what should be en-
tered for competition for each of the
next six months, so that every member
should have time to prepare. At this
meeting the competition was for bul-
bous plants, three kinds, and for foliage
plants, one plant in not to exceed a
6-inch pot. H. Papworth won the first
prize, with liliums. Paper White narcissi
and Koman hyacinths; C. W. Eichling,
second, with lilies of the valley and
calla lilies. In the foliage plants the
first prize went to M. M. deLapouyade
for Pteris tremula; second, C. W. Eich-
ling, for Cocos "Weddelliana. Four new
members were admitted: Kob. Locker-
bie, John Doddes, John Betz and Jos.
Bernard, superintendent of the city
parks. M. M. L.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

January 25, 1906.

TO RELIEVE CONDENSATION.

I propose putting in steam pipes under
a gutter which has a rise from boiler of
six inches in 100 feet, but want pipe to
run an equal distance from tbe gutter
all the way up. Now then, if I turn off
steam at the valve at the top of the riser
connecting the 2-inch main from the
boiler with the flow pipe the condensa-
tion will run to this valve and when steam
would be turned on would cause snapping
because of the cold water in pipe. Could
1 remedy this by connecting the flow to
the 11/4 -inch return with %-inch pipe to
allow the water to drip into the return?
Where would be the proper place for the
air valve? Is the proper place for the
check valve at the lowest point on the re-
turn next to the boiler? W. P. W.

While you can tap the riser near the
valve and relieve the condensation it will
not be as satisfactory as to grade the
riser so as to cause the condensation to
follow the grade back to the boiler. If
the riser falls two inches to 100 feet it
will provide suflScient drainage for the
riser. The returns can of course be given
a greater grade. If a check valve is to
be used place it on the pipe leading from
the manifold at the end of the returns
leading to the main return to the boiler
and use a swing check only. Why not
run the riser under the gable instead
of under the gutter? L. C. C.

BOILER AND PIPE.

I am building a house 18x60 for car-
nations, north wall four feet, half glass,
and south glass, ten feet to the ridge.
How many feet of 2-inch pipe will it
take to heat it? Which is best, uphill
or downhill system? Sometimes it gets
as cold as 15 degrees below zero. What
size of boiler ought I. to use? How will
a self-feeder work with soft coal?

W. E. W.

To provide heat for the greenhouse in
question a small boiler carrying only
seventy-five or eighty square feet of heat-
ing surface will do the work. A boiler
rated to provide heat for 1,000 square
feet of radiation will be ample. I know
of no self-feed boiler which will work
well with soft coal. There are many
boilers of this type designed for hard
coal, but soft coal cannot be fired in this
manner. If you install eleven 2-inch
pipes in the house 18x60 feet they should
maintain an adequate temperature for
carnations, about 675 lineal feet of 2-inch
pipe will be required. L. C. C.

Jaxuarv 25, 1906.

WATER CIRCULATION.

In the issue for December 28, on page
420, under the heading ''Limit to Hot
Water," the statement is made by L, C.
C. that with a circulating pump hot
water can be carried 200 to 300 feet, but
without some artificial means of hasten-
ing the flow it is not advisable to exceed
100 feet in 2-inch pipes. I would like
to have the mode of applying and using
a circulating pump explained, also the
kind of pump used and the motive power
required to run it; whether any extra
pressure is put on the system generally
or does the extra pressure affect only the
circulating pipes, or boiler and pipes
equally? What amount of pressure is
put on, how regulated, etc.? Where are
such pumps made or sold? Please give
such particulars as a fellow can under-
stand who does not claim to be an ex-
pert, though having had some years' ex-
perience in a small way with both steam
and hot water. I. McA.

In large plants, where water heat is
used, the circulation is hastened by in-
stalling steam pumps of proper size to
handle the water in the system as rapidly
as is desired and as rapidly as the heaters
can raise it to the desired temperature.
These punips are operated by auxiliary
steam boilers maintained at high pres-
sure. In towns where electricity is avail-
able, electric motors can be substituted
for the steam to operate the pumps. A
very neat device of this description has
recently been placed upon the market.
It consists of a rotary pump of a very
simple nature. The rotating and water
propelling portion, consisting of a rapidly
rotating auger pod, which has sufficient
power to move the water in the system
with a very slight expenditure of energy.
The only form of pump of this type
which has come under my notice was
operated by . electricity but there is no
reason why they should not be propelled
by steam or water turbines. In any case
the pump is placed on the return for the
purpose of drawing the water through
the system more quickly. L. C. C.

I FIND the Review reliable and get
much useful information from it much
cheaper than I could get it any other
way. — G. A. Dudley, Newmarket, N. H.

PEOPLE who know a good thing when they see it, and will take advantage
of the same, must be possessed with good judgment and are generally suc-
cessful. One of our successful growers has this year taken out 6cx>o feet of
wooden gutters, which were only 5 years old, and replaced the same with 6ocx) feet of
the GARLAND IRON GUTTER, this being his fifth annual order.

Our long list of orders of this kind is our best reference. By writing any of

BOILER.

I intend to erect greenhouses -with a
glass surface of 40,000 square feet of
glass for lettuce growing and would like
to know how much boiler capacity I need
with a temperature of 52 degrees in the
houses and 10 degrees below zero out-
side? Would 'J^ou advise me to put in
one large boiler or two smaller boilers?
Which is the most economical for this
purpose? What boiler is considered the
most economical of fuel, tubular or cast-
iron sectional? M. L. K.

It would have been much more satis-
factory had you given the dimensions of
the houses you propose to use for grow-
ing lettuce, rather than stating the num-
ber of square feet of glass the range is
to contain. The size of the heating plant
is determined by the amount of radiation
..necessary and this in turn is de-
termined by the size, shape and ex-
posure of the houses. A rough estimate
only can therefore be made of your
needs. If you wish to use hot water the
boiler plant must carry about 1,400
square feet of heating surface in the
boiler or boilers. If steam is employed
1,000 square feet of heating surface in
the boilers will probably do the work.
The type of boiler is largely a matter of
personal preference ; get the boiler men 's
literature and figure it out for yourself.
Where the plant is large enough to jus-
tify the expenditure two boilers are
preferable to one. L. C. C.

MONETT, MO.

After serving an apprenticeship at
Springfield, Mo., we started a business
of our own at this place last September.
This is a lively little town of 8,000 in-
habitants, with a good railway service on
the 'Frisco System. It has all trains
for leading points south, west and east,
including all of the fast trains. The
place at Billings, Mo., conducted by
Geo. Eaueh. has been discontinued.

We have 6,000 feet of glass devoted to
lettuce as the principal crop just now,
as we were too late to provide with neces-
sary arrangements for mushrooms and
other hot-house vegetables which will be
grown in the near future. We are twin
brothers, 24 years old, and the height
of our ambition is to have, some
time in the future, a business built li*
most up-to-date style, and conducted in
first-class manner. Kauch Bros.

JUST BEAR THIS IN MIND— For, when purchasing

<' NICO-FUME'' the florist obtains MUCH MORE NICOTINE For
his money than he secures from any competing preparations.

IN ADDITION) he obtains the following advantages:

"NICO-FUME" PSPER is stronger per square inch than any other; is packed in special
friction-top tins, preventing loss of strength by evaporation; is folded and punched ready for use;
is of a special size, furnishing the best distribution of vapor; is of uniform quality.

"NICO-FUME" LIQUID contains NEVER LESS THAN 40 per cent NICOTINE—

The best formula for the general florist trade.
"NICO-FUME" LIOlilD is BY FAR the CHEAPEST high-strength nicotine solution on the market.

CERTAIN

CARNATION

CERTAINTIES

When we build for you, you
are certain that certain
things go into the house;
certain that the best car-
nation returns will come
out of it.

Here is a section of an up-to-date,
light and economical IRON FRAME
CARNATION HOUSE; a house
that's cheaper to build, in houses of
reasonable length, than well con-
structed ridge and furrow houses.
There're plenty of arguments for
both houses — good stifiF, can't-back-
down arguments — but a house that
meets every condition the most
economically, is the only safe argu-
ment. When it comes to dollars
and cents you can't afford to hold
on to a " time honored custom " —
monej' is the only thing to hold on to.

On the other hand there are con-
ditions under which a ridge and
furrow house is best — we know
these conditions, know them pretty
thoroughly and it's our business to
sell you the best house for the best

purpose.

A half- hundred years
of building has taught ua
some pretty tough les-
soDS-we have passed
the theory stage — It's a
case of know NOW.

know, shown In catalog

Minneapolis, Minn., Jan. 12, 1906.
Mr. John Monson, Minneapolis, Minn.

Dear Sir— Regarding the new rose. Miss Kate
Moulton, I wish to say that I have been
acquainted with It from Its birth, and I believe it
has come to stay with us. as we certainly wish it
to do. I have been handling it in my retail store
to the best trade in the city for the last four years
and I have found this, that side by side wlUi
Bridesmaid and Cbatenay, Invariably my
customers cboose Miss BAte Moulton in
preference to the other pink roses, as the color
and size of flowers are more superb, and its last-
ing after cut so much better.

I am so well pleased with this rose that I prefer
to handle it rather than any other pink rose now
on market, and I consider this rose a grand con-
tribution to all lovers of beautiful flowers,
among which I class the Miss Kate Moulton.

Yours truly, O. C. SWANSON.

Mr. John Monson. Minneapolis, Minn.

Dear Sir— I am pleased to state that the Moul-
ton roses shipped to me were received in excel-
lent condition. There was a gathering of florists
in the building and about forty florists were in
and looked at them; Mr. Samuelson admired
them, as did Mr. Wienhoeber. These roses added
greatly to the beauty of my store and were
greatly admired by all who saw them. I would
ask what price you will make me to ship fifty
Moultons three times per week, if possible.
Trusting you will favor me with a prompt and
favorable reply and thanking you for care taken
in packing and shipping these roses. I remain
Yours very respectfully, A. LANGE.

NOTES ON VARIETIES.

This is the season at which the average
carnation grower is debating in his own
mind as to the varieties which he shall
plant in quantity for next season. In an
endeavor to throw some light on the prob-
lem, which is becoming more difficult each
year as meritorious varieties multiply,
a number of leading growers were asked
to state briefly their opinions as to the
characteristics of standard varieties. The
comments of J. P. Wilcox, Council
Bluffs, la. ; S. J. Keuter, Westerly, E. I. ;
J. H. Dunlop, Toronto, Ont. ; Chas.
Knopf, of the B. K. & B. Floral Co.,
Richmond, Ind.; Patten & Co., Tewks-
bury, Mass.; August Poehlmann, of
Poehlmann Bros. Co., Morton Grove, 111.;
Bate Bros., Cleveland, O. ; Wietor Bros.,
Chicago, 111.; A. H. Budlong, greenhouse
manager for J. A. Budlong, Chicago;
N. A. Benson, Denver, and C. H. Roney,
of the Lake View Rose Gardens, James-
town, N. Y., are given here:

The Queen.

J. F. Wilcox. — Good producer but
with us stem hardly strong enough to
support the flower.

S. J. Eeuter. — Consider this the best
white to date ; free and good keeper.

J. H. Dunlop.^Not many grown; in-
clined to be weak; fairly free.

Chas. Knopf. — For a money-maker it
can't be beat; a good mate for Lady
Bountiful.

Patten & Co. — Not so successful with
us as at many places; evidently wants a
heavy soil.

Poehlmann Bros. Co. — Very produc-
tive; fair size bloom; fine in some locali-
ties; stands cool temperature; early to
bloom and keeps on.

Bate Bros. — A very free bloomer but
stems are weak at this time; believe
it should be grown very cool, say 46
degrees at night.

C. H. Roney. — We consider it one of
the best commercial whites.

Boston Market

Wietor Bros. — A very good white; not
a fancy.

S. J. Renter. — Too much of a cropper
and generally off crop during December
and January.

J. A. Budlong. — Best paying commer-
cial white; best shipping qualities.

Patten & Co. — Good, but discarded for
varieties with larger flowers.

Bate Bros. — Like it very much; shall
grow it next season.

J. H. Dunlop. — Good; medium size
flower; growth and blooming qualities
O. K.

N. A. Benson. — A good variety for
anyone who wants an ordinary, cheap
line; we discarded because it split too
much.

J. F. Wilcox. — ^Up to this year consid-
ered it the best paying white we had
but now it seems to be failing.

C. H. Roney. — Fair, but not as profit-
able as The Queen.

Queen Louise.

S. J. Renter. — Splits quite badly dur-
ing midwinter; otherwise good.

Poehlmann Bros. Co. — Dropped it; far
outclassed.

J. H. Dunlop. — Discarded ; other whites
superior.

N. A. Benson. — Free but sleepy.

Bate Br(>s. — Our principal white; can
cut from it from the time it is planted
until it is time to throw it out.

C. H. Roney. — Very good; we like it
very much.

J. F. Wilcox.- — For a medium size
flower we consider this the most profit-
able we have.

Gov. Wolcott.

Patten & Co. — A first-class flower but
bursts badly with us.

Poehlmann Bros. Co. — For nine
months of the year this is a good one;

early to bloom in fall; good stem; if
crop is off before cold weather, so much
the better, for it avoids the splitting;
when they do come again after February
they hold out and bring fine blooms un-
til field-grown plants again take their
place; 54 degrees at night.

J. A. Budlong. — Dropped; split too
many in winter.

J. F. Wilcox. — Grand flower but not
free enough.

S. J. Renter. — No good with us; too
shy.

Bate Bros. — Our last season with it;
not profitable.

J. H. Dunlop. — Discarded on account
of bursting.

N. A. Benson. — Splits too much;
otherwise good.

Lady Bountiful.

Chas. Knopf. — ^Best white today; shall
grow more of it.

J. A. Budlong. — Slow in fall but good
in winter; too single to ship well.

Wietor Bros. — A very fine flower and
a good bloomer.

N. A. Benson. — Best white for first-
class blooms; early and fairly free.

S. J. Renter. — ^An elegant bloom and
free; hear some complaint of not keep-
ing well.

C. H. Roney. — Very fine for a fancy;
we consider it the best one we know.

Poehlmann Bros. Co. — One of the
best; fails to ship well up to December
and inclined to be single early in fall,
but recovers quickly, giving fine blooms
around November 1.

J. F. Wilcox. — Well formed flower;
good shipper, but not as productive as
some others.

Patten & Co. — Does well with us; has
some poor flowers the early part of the
season.

J. H. Dunlop. — ^Best white for mid-
winter; chaste in color; fine form; very
popular.

The Belle.

Patten & Co. — A fine, large flower,
bursts some but will grow it again.

J. H. Dunlop. — Pure white; next to
Bountiful; a trifle better than the for-
mer in spring and fall; a grand carna-
tion.

Poehlmann Bros. Co. — A grand flower,
full, good size, good stem, but not one
of the best shippers; goes to sleep when
sent long distances.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

FSBBUABZ 1, 1906.

J. F. Wilcox. — A good grower and a
grand flower, but we have had a good
many split calyxes.

White Lawson.

S. J. Eeuter. — Elegant bloom; same
good habit as the pink Lawson.

Poehlmann Bros. Co. — Like its parent,
very free; fully as vigorous, if not more
so; a good variety to add to the general
list of commercial sorts; one that will
be universally grown where Lawson does
well; 52 to 54 degrees.

Bate Bros. — Like it very much; shall
plant it heavily next season.

Wietor Bros. — It is like pink Lawson
in all but color; "nuflf said."

Patten & Co. — Has done exceedingly
well; inclined to have short stems if
lifted late in the fall from the open
ground.

J. H. Dunlop. — Good; tendency to
blotch; free bloomer and excellent stem.

N. A. Benson. — The best white, next
to Bountiful.

C. H. Roney. — White Lawson has not
done well this season but shall give it
another trial.

J. F. Wilcox. — ^With us might be

whites; too short stemmed.

FredBurki.

Wietor Bros. — One of the coming
whites.

Bate Bros. — Fine large flower but does
not seem to be free enough; will try it
again.

J. F. Wilcox. — Good flower and stem,
but do not consider it a profitable va-
riety for us to grow.

8. J. Eeuter. — No good; too shy on
flowers.

C. H. Eoney. — A very fine flower but
too slow with us.

White Cloud.

Poehlmann Bros. Co. — Very good when
well done; when soil and conditions
suit, a hard one to let off; plant late;
grow 46 to 48 degrees.

8. J. Eeuter. — Out of date; The Queen
is a big improvement over this once fine
sort.

J. A. Budlong. — Too weak in stem;
there are better whites.

N. A. Benson. — Discarded.

J. F. Wilcox. — Have discarded it.

Wietor Bros. — One of our old stand-

carded.

Other Whites.

S. J. Eeuter says that Vesper is a
strong grower, healthy and free, with
large flowers on 3-foot stems; not a glis-
tening white.

C. H. Eoney says they like Vesper very
much and next in favor to Queen; very
profitable. They still grow Norway and
consider it a very fine commercial white.

Wietor Bros, say that Lieut. Peary is
the best white of 1905 introduction.

Poehlmann Bros. Co. says that Mary
Wood is a fine shaped flower; much
called for when in evidence; not very
productive.

J. H. Dunlop says that Glacier has
been a stand-by for years, but shall dis-
card it this season for Bountiful, Belle
and White Lawson.

Mrs. Lawson.

J. A. Budlong. — Still a good pink, but
think it goes a step backward each year.

Patten & Co. — Discarded for Pink
Patten.

Bate Bros. — ^Better than ever this sea-
son ; was planted from 3-inch pots direct
to benches.

J. H. Dunlop. — ^Best of its color; still
in the pink of condition with us.

N. A. Benson. — Slightly disfigured but
still in the ring; the best yet.

S. J. Eeuter. — ^With us the best paying
sort.

Chas. Knopf. — Shall discard; don't
think ii will hold its own.

Poehlmann Bros. Co. — Still a very
good one; more universally grown than
any other at present, but three or four
more years will see its finish; plant
early.

J. F. Wilcox. — Without doubt the best
all-round pink we grow.

Wietor Bros. — So far unexcelled by
any other of its color.

C. H. Eoney. — Our standard dark pink
but this season it has not done so well;
we were troubled a great deal with stem-
rot.

Nelson Fisher.

J. A. Budlong. — Better formed flower,
longer stemmed and more productive
than Lawson.

J. H. Dunlop. — Only a small quantity
grown; has bden in good form; deeper

son.

S. J. Eeuter. — Not as free with us as
Lawson but a better color.

J. F. Wilcox. — Does not So well with
us; shall discard it.

inclined to be short if lilted late;
should be grown indoors.

Wietor Bros. — A very good bloomer
and deeper in color than Lawson.

Fiancee.

Poehlmann Bros. Co. — Grand in fall;
finest yet; don't know how it wUl be-
have hereafter.

Bate Bros. — Fine, big flower in fall;
now splitting badly; shall try it again.

J. H. Dunlop. — The early part of tke
season the flowers were good; since be-
ginning of December about seventy-five
per cent burst the calyx; disappointing;
may grow a few next season, but not
many.

J. A. Budlong. — Has split seventy-five
per cent under our culture; believe it
will prove all right with our own propa-
gation and improved culture.

N. A. Benson. — So far the best I ever
grew, but starting to split too much and
hard to root.

J. F. Wilcox. — ^With us it splits badly;
will try it another season and hope for
better success.

Wietor Bros. — Shall try it again next
year.

Chas. Knopf. — Will give it another
year.

S. J. Eeuter. — First flowers split
badly; have raised temperature to 56
degrees; much improved; splendid flower
in color and form; very strong grower.

Patten & Co. — ^A failure to date.

Fair Maid.

S. J. Eeuter. — Not free enough dur-
ing midwinter; fine in hot weather.
Patten & Co. — Shall not grow it again.
N. A. Benson. — Too small here.

us, while some of our neighbors seem to
get good results.

Patten & Co. — Not profitable with us;
discarded.

J. H. Dunlop. — Discarded.

N. A. Benson. — Too much grass and
not large enough; a poor keeper.

grower but a cropper.

Eclipse.

J. H. Dunlop.— Flowers medium in
size; extra long stem; very promising;
think well of the variety.

flower.

Indianapolis.

versally satisfactory experience with
this.

J. F. Wilcox. — Seems to be the one
sort no one can find fault with.

S. J. Eeuter. — This we consider our
finest sort; have heard it called a poor
keeper but find it keeps as long as any
sort if grown cool, 48 to 50 degrees.

Poehlmann Bros. Co. — Best carnation
introduced since Lawson; everybody
ought to grow it; potted stock planted
in bench not so liable to crop; field-
grown plants stand transplanting well;
very satisfactory carnation in every
way; 52 degrees at night.

very fine flower if perfect, but in some
localities won 't do at all ; not productive
enough for wholesale trade.

J. H. Dunlop. — Bright red; fairly free
bloomer; our standard red.

N. A. Benson. — Good when done right,
hut I can't do it.

J. F. Wilcox. — Fine color but with us
too short of stem for a commercial va-
riety.

C. H. Roney. — Another standard that
we shall continue to grow.

Wietor Bros. — Best color of all the
reds and a very good bloomer.

J. A. Budlong. — Fairly good; a little
too single.

Patten & Co. — Discarded.

Red Lawsoh.

J. A. Budlong. — Not red enough.

tion; best red from standpoint of pro-

will try it again another season.

Bate Bros. — Like it very much; shall
plant it heavily next season.

size; easily affected by heat and thrips,

able with us.

season but very fine this year; have only
a small patch but shall increase.

best fancy red and shall continue to
grow it.

in some sections.

J. F. Wilcox. — Is doing well with us;
shall grow more of it next season.

Crane.

J. A. Budlong. — Played out.

Patten & Co. — Discarded.

Poehlmann Bros. Co. — Still a good one
where stem-rot does not catch it; early
and quite productive.

J. H. Dunlop. — Discarded.

C. H. Roney. — Our standard red and
we consider it one of the best yet com-
mercially.

N. A. Benson. — Still as good as most
of them.

Bate Bros. — Our last season with it.

J. F. Wilcox. — Had to discard itton
account of stem-rot. ^

Cardinal.

Bate Bros. — ^Better color than Red
Lawson, but not so free.

Poehlmann Bros. Co. — Without doubt
the best variegated; dropped by some
on account of shyness; good strong
plants from 3% -inch pots should be
benched early in August; sixty per cent
added to the price of ordinary varieties
will about pay for the growing.

S. J. Renter. — Profitable only for
fancy trade.

J. A. Budlong. — Too slow; more
money to be had from the space.

Patten & Co. — Not profitable with us.

J. H. Dunlop. — Does well; require
some of this variety, as always admired
and in demand.

N. A. Benson. — Certainly fine when
grown right but too shy a bloomer.

J. F. Wilcox. — A grand flower, but
discarded it as it was not profitable.

C. H. Roney. — We shall increase on
this another season ; we consider this a
very profitable sort.

Mrs. Patten.

J. F. Wilcox. — A good flower and
good producer; the best variegated we
have.

S. J. Renter. — Best variegated by far;
free and healthy; no splits.

Poehlmann Bros. Co. — A good stand-
ard variety; good grower; fine habit.

J. H. Dunlop. — Good fancy with us;
stem not as stiff as desirable; free.

C. H. Roney. — We shall still grow a
few, but variegated sorts do not sell well.

J. A. Budlong. — Too slow with us to
be profitable.

Bate Bros. — ^Best variegated we ever
grew.

N. A. Benson. — Fair is all I can say
of it.

Patten & Co. — Best variegated with us.

Variesfated Lawson.

Chas. Knopf. — The best variety in its
class.

Patten & Co. — Early; shall grow
again.

Poehlmann Bros. Co. — Free bloomer;
not so long in stem as Patten or Pros-
perity but very prolific ; good addition to
list; same habit as pink Lawson; 52 to
54 degrees.

C. H. Roney. — Will continue to grow
a few of these; we like this better than
Mrs. Patten.

J. H. Dunlop. — Very good; similar to
parent in all respects of habit and
growth except scarcely as liable to burst.

Other Sorts.

Wietor Bros, say that Red Bradt, or
Chicago, is the most prolific and best
paying red on their place.

Poehlmann Bros. Co. says that Liberty
must be taken into consideration when
buying reds; nothing compares with it
for shipping, a most important item to
the wholesaler who ships distances.

Patten & Co. say that they like Ethel
Ward and will grow it again.

BOTHERED WITH MOLES.

Could some one tell me what to do for
moles in carnations? They work the
most on Queen Louise and Joost. We
have used rat biscuit and rough on rats
put on cheese, Paris green on fat meat,
apples soaked in strychnine, and set
traps and still they are happy. The cats
will not bother them for some reason.
They take on an average of 140 each
night. I hope some one who has had!
experience with them will tell us what
is good for them. G. S.

You have used about all the remedies
for moles I know of. I do not know of
anything they are especially fond of.
Perhaps some one else can suggest a
remedy. A. F. J. Baur,

TO DESTROY WORMS.

I enclose a few samples of carnation
buds destroyed by a small white worm
which eats the inside out of the buds and
stems. Would you kindly tell me what
to do to check this pest, as it is becoming;
very troublesome? H. N. L.

I am not acquainted with the worm"
you complain of, but I cannot see why
you should not get rid of them. As they
eat into the buds and stems the proper
remedy would naturally be poison. Try
Paris green in the various ways of using
it and see if that does not destroy them.
Mix some with sugar and drop a little
here and there on dry places. Also spray
them with water and Paris green, using
a tablespoon good level full to three gal-
lons of water. There are many other
insect poisons which you might resort tO'
if you find it necessary. The specimens
you sent were as dry as tinder and were
of no value. A. F. J. Baur.

CARNATIONS RUN TO GRASS.

Can you give me some idea as to what
would cause my White Cloud carnations
to run to grass and no flowers? The
flower stalk runs up to about eighteen
inches, then breaks at every axil. The
breaks continue to grow till they are
about twelve inches long, when they also
break at the axils, so I have now a dense
mass of foliage but no buds. Soil is a
light loam, with about one-third rotted
cow manure, a little bone meal mixed
with it. Temperature 55 degrees nighty
and 60 degrees day. I am sending sam-
ple.

Can black loam be used to grow car-
nations and roses? If it can, please

state how to prepare it. I find it im-
possible to procure upland soil heavy
enough for the above plants. J. B.

I cannot tell you what causes carna-
tion plants to run to grass instead of
making buds as they should. Occasion-
ally we find such a plant in the midst of
plants that are in fine condition and
blooming freely. This proves that it is
not the soil or the treatment. It may
have been in the cutting. Do not take
any cuttings off such plants, by any
means, as they will produce just such
plants the next season. Perhaps that is
how you came to have so many of them
this season. These plants usually look
robust and strong and as there are plenty
of cuttings on them the novice is apt
to take all the cuttings he can get from
them.

I remember a few years ago seeing a
bench of Lizzie McGowan that was that
way from one end to the other, and on
questioning the grower I found that he
had propagated from such plants, be-
lieving that he had obtained a strong
growing McGowan. It is not caused by
the variety running out, because I have
seen such plants among new varieties the
first or second year we had them on our
place. All you can do is to avoid these
plants when selecting your cuttings. But
why grow White Cloud any more when
you can get plenty of white varieties that
are so far superior to what "White Cloud
ever dared to be in its palmiest days?

There is no reason why your black
loam should not be made to produce good
roses and carnations, even though it may
be not an ideal soil for either one.
Around Chicago the soil is all black,
though some of it may be heavier than
yours and there are no better roses grown
than are grown in that vicinity. If it is
inclined to be too light, use cow manure
altogether, as it will tend to make the
soil heavy, while stable manure will
lighten the soil. A. F. J. Baur.

SOIL LACKS STRENGTH.

Can you give me any idea what I
ought to put on the soil in my carnation
beds to give it the growing quality it
seems to lack? I unfortunately took the
soil for my compost last year from near
some large oak trees, and I think the
trees must have taken the strength out of
it. Have given, in the last two months,
two light applications of wood ashes.

and in the last month, three applica-
tions of liquid cow manure. The plants
look better, but grow very slowly and
lack strength in stem and size in the
bloom. I thought perhaps you could
suggest some chemical. J. L. D.

If your plants are healthy and the soil
is in good condition, except that it lacks
in richness, I would advise you to give
your carnations a light mulching instead

of using liquid manure. Pulverize some
old cow manure and mix into it a 4-inch
potful of ground bone to each bushel of
manure and spread this on the bench a
scant half -inch thick. Water well after
spreading it on and then water when the
plants need it. That is about all you
can do until the plants get to growing
strong and along toward spring, when
you can give them a good mulch of cow
manure, or liquid. A. F. J. Baur.

CONVENTION AFTERMATH

A Few Impressions.

For once ideal weather favored the
Boston convention ; no loss in travel of
flowers and all on time. Horticultural
hall was in all respects the most fitting
place that we have ever had for the ex-
hibition. It is so lofty and spacious
that the carbonic acid gas expelled by
so many lungs made little difference to
the volume of oxygen and the blooms on
the second day were in fully as fine con-
dition as the hour they were staged and
in some notable cases much improved.

Last week's Review contained a most
complete report of the convention, so
only a little can be added. It is doubt-
ful if the exhibition contained more
flowers than some previous shows, not-
ably Detroit and Chicago, but in quality
there is no doubt there were never so
many fine flowers brought together. In
fact, it was bewildering to determine
which was the best pink, or white, or
scarlet. The labors of the three regular
judges were so large that three addi-
tional judges were called in and there
was a merry time in awarding the Law-
son gold medal. It took all six judges
to carefully inspect and weigh all the
points. At last four votes were cast in
favor of Mr. Ward's Elsa Struss, Frank
R. Pierson's Winsor second and the
splendid scarlet, Robert Craig, third.
There were eight contestants for these
much coveted prizes, and each one was
worthy of a gold medal and a very few

years since would have won it. Alma
Ward is a wonderful white for size and
form and one or two of the judges would
have given it the gold medal.

Aristocrat arrived showing signs of
fatigue and Mr. Witterstaetter thought
it best not to stage it against flowers
that had traveled but a few miles. Aris-
tocrat was packed on Sunday afternoon.
No wonder the long, warm journey had
made it weary, but it speaks volumes for
this fine variety that these very dowers
had wonderfully recovered on the second
day and looked as bright and fresh as
any in the hall. Flowers of Aristocrat
grown in the neighborhood by Mr. Nich-
olson easily took the first in its class.

Robert Craig as exhibited was grand,
and Victory is a splendid scarlet. There
is yet another scarlet which will not be
sent out until next spring. It figured
high wherever shown. It is Peter
Fisher's Beacon. We saw it growing.
It is not scarlet, but a bright orange red,
and has all the earmarks of Mr. Fisher's
varieties that have made him immortal
in the carnation world.

There were a few varieties that have
not had the advertising benefit of having
been sold at fabulous prices, yet are
proving standard, money-making va-
rieties. Of these Helen Goddard showed
up in magnificent form, a light pink that
I believe is a money-mak»^r ; and Lieut.
Peary, a splendid white which has proved
a much greater carnation than its raiser

had any idea of. To quote Eugene
Dailledouze: "The best large white
there is grown," and so you may keep
on writing up the numerous splendid new
varieties. Never before was such a col-
lection brought together.

As you will see by the premiums given,
Lady Bountiful beat everything in white
and Mrs. Patten scarcely had a rival in
its class, while the great but easily
grown Enchantress had a clear field in
that shade of pink. There has been an
impression with me for some months that
this great Enchantress does so well and
easily with the great majority of grow-
ers that it will become too common and
the flower buyers will tire of its shade
of color and some flower of the shade
of. Helen Goddard or Winsor will sup-
plant it in public favor.

The business sessions were well at-
tended, although there are a number who
do not realize that it is their duty to
attend the business meetings. It is poor
encouragement for the essayist to see
half the audience rise from the seats
and leave the room when the essay is an-
nounced as next on the program.

The gem of the meeting was Mr.
Valentine's essay on carnations in the
Eocky mountains. It was broad and in-
tensely interesting and widened into the
peculiar soil, water and climate of that
vast region which covers such a consider-
able portion of our continent. It was,
indeed, a treat and would have delighted
not only a carnation specialist but any
intelligent person wishing to know more
of his country.

"The leistBte by Prof. Hall on "Carna-
tion Breeding" was very technical and
would have been more suited to a class-
room than a mixed audience. However,
it brought Mr. "Ward to his feet to tell
us of his elaborate method of keeping
the ppdigree of all his crosses. All this
is very proper and perhaps essential if
you want to perpetuate or accentuate
any particular color or characteristic in
the offspring, but is it not true that any
one having in his houses the leading
varieties of the day and wishing to do a
little in the seedling business can begin
where Mr. Ward and all the other
laborious scientists left off? The law of
heredity is well understood nowadays,
not only by florists but by scholars in
our high schools. There is no doubt Mr.
Hall is a very smart young man and
delivered his address in a very attractive
manner.

The most important part of the busi-
ness transacted is undoubtedly changes
looking to greater caution in giving
certificates of merit to varieties. No

doubt the able committee in whose hands
this is left, F. B. Pierson, C. W. Ward
and J. A. Valentine, will give us some
regulations that will guard the florists
against purchasing new varieties sailing
under false pretenses and make a certifi-
cate of the society something of real
value both to the raiser and prospective
buyer.

It was a foregone conclusion that our
next meeting was to be in Toronto, and
I feel sure there will be no disappoint-
ment in any particular. In latitude it is
north, but in longitude it is ideal for
suiting both east and west and there is
no community of florists on the continent
more loyal to the profession or more
hospitable. We can all look forward to
a fine convention in Toronto while we are
still looking backward with most pleas-
ant memories of the great show at Bos-
ton.

There were many little incidents and
side trips occurring, all of which I should
like to speak of, but enough for this
week, or the editor won't print it. The
trip to Mr. Matthew's large houses to
see the water circulator in operation and
explained by Mr. Castle was a very jolly
time. This revolving screw which drives
the water through the return pipe not
only accelerated the circulation of hot
water, but several other things besides,
as those in attendance can testify. It
was a hot and merry time and it appears
that the circulation set in motion had not
entirely subsided after a long ride back
to town, but appearances are deceiving.
Circulation was back to its old normal
condition. William Scott.

Some of the Seedlings.

Dailledouze 's Kob Boy, which received
special mention, has an immense flower,
but lacks stem. Given a stiff stem it
would be a wonder.

J. H. Dunlop had one or two nice
seedlings. One striped in the way of
Mrs. Bradt stood up very nicely; also a
nice Lawson sport of Scott shade.

B. C. Pye 's Senator Crane is of a de-
lightful color. It has size, odor, calyx
and form, but was a little lacking in
stem. We think this can be remedied
another season. Mr. Pye also showed
a good crimson.

H. W. Field's scarlet, which received
special mention, is not large, but very
bright and has a fine stem. It should
prove a good commercial sort.

Backer & Co. seem to have the field al-
most to themselves in yellows. One re-
ceived special mention. It has a good
stem and is of a nice clear yellow color.

E. L. Enggren, Aqueduct, N. Y., had a
promising flesh-colored variety.

A. Eoper had several excellent sorts,
including a very good white and scar-
let. The latter should be heard from
later. John Kuhn, Philadelphia, had a
Lawson sport of a pleasing light pink
shade.

Peter Fisher's Beacon, which secured
the S. A. F. bronze medal, showed up
well. It is not a scarlet, more of a
brick-red color, and is said to be a won-
derfully prolific bloomer. Among his
other seedlings were Evangeline and
Euby.

John Murchie, Sharon, Pa., showed a
very good scarlet which we hope to , see
again.

Pierson 's Helen Gould and White En-
chantress had many admirers. The lat-
ter should prove popular, though it lacks
the stem of Lady Bountiful.

H. A. Jahn's white, which scored 90
points and received the only prelimi-
nary certificate, should prove a winner.
It has a grand stem, size, calyx and
form. We hope to see it growing short-
ly and will report on it again.

C. W. Ward's Alma Ward was the
most admired white in the show. It
came very near securing one of the
Lawson medals. His Mrs. C. W. Ward
and Mrs. Mershont also had hosts of
admirers. These varieties will not be
introduced for three years yet.

Quite a number of other seedlings were
shown, none of them, however, of special
merit.

O)nvention Echoes.

Enchantress was more largely shown
than any other variety, there being forty-
nine vases of it in the show. Mrs. Pat-
ten made a good second, with forty-four,
Lady Bountiful third, with thirty-nine.
These three varieties were practically
the whole show in their respective
classes.

Too bad that Aristocrat and After-
glow arrived off color. They would have
been well in the running in the Lawson
medal class but for this.

Pierson 's Winsor was one of the
greatest favorites with the ladies. It
stood up finely through the show and
will be in big demand next season.

C. W. Ward and Patrick O'Mara had
a little passage of arms over Burbank
during post prandial exercises at the
banquet, which enlivened things a little.

Many of the delegates visited Waban
Conservatories, Peter Fisher, Patten &
Co., W. Nicholson, S. J. Goddard, Wil-
liam Sim, Peirce Bros, and other promi-
nent growers before going home.

The Principal Range at the Establishment of Wietor Bros. Rogers Park, Chicago.

John Birnie was there, but we did not
see his pipes. We also failed to get a
sight of Eobert McGorum in kilts, but
hope to do so at the coming rose show.
We haven't had the pleasure of listen-
ing to some of John's favorite Scotch
melodies.

J. A. Valentine's paper was one of
the best we ever listened to and merited
the applause it received. It was well
read, too, and his hearers could catch
every word distinctly.

One of the officials estimated the at-
tendance at the show on the second day
at 10,000. Certainly there was a jam
the whole day. All were delighted with
what they saw.

The banquet room at the Copley
Square hotel was far too small for the
240 who attended. It was too bad that
many had to leave to take late trains
home so soon after the speech-making
started.

We believe the only variety shown
which was also shown in 1895 was El-
dorado, staged by Backer & Co.

Three small vases of Fiancee were
shown, L. E, Small's had been held to-
gether by rubber bands. How are the
mighty fallen!

One vase of Flamingo from Elm
Court Farm, Lenox, was well grown. It
was the only exhibit of that variety.

The Massachusetts Horticultural So-
ciety's exhibits in the small hall added
greatly to the interest in the show and
were even more attractive to many than
the large hall on account of the diversity
of exhibits.

Helen Goddard showed up splendidly.
Had it been a little larger it would have
been one of the Lawson medalists.

Several exhibitors were disqualified
for using spreading glass vases instead
of fibrotta ones. The blooms looked far
better in the former than in the latter.

Competition in the private gardeners'
classes for the Boston Gardeners' and
Florists' Club prizes and Farquhar cup,
was keen. William Kleinheinz, the win-
ner in each class, showed extra line
flowers.

Robert Craig was finely staged by Cot-
tage Gardens and loomed up among the
scarlets. Victory also had a host of
admirers.

In crimsons Harry Fenn was "mostly

shown, although Crimson Glow and Octo-
roon were represented by splendid vases.

Variegated Lawson as staged by Stev-
ens Co. in the small hall took every-
one 's eye. F. R. Pierson Co. also showed
it well.

If as much advance takes place among
carnations during the next decade as
between 1895 and 1906 a 6-inch bloom
would seem to be quite a possibility
when next the A. C. S. meets in Boston.

We hope pot plants will be made a
feature at succeeding shows. Not a
single carnation in a pot was seen at
the recent show. What possibilities there
are in this direction, especially where
there are private estates to grow and
show them!

Sweet peas from Wm. Sim and J. T.
Gale were grandly grown and greatly
admired. W. N. Craig.

Some of the delegates came long dis-
tances. J. A. Valentine would greatly
like to coax the convention some day to
Denver.

V. H. Kramer, of Washington, and his
Queen Beatrice rose were there showing
up brilliantly, both of them, under arti-
ficial light.

F. K. Pierson 's Elegantissima and
Winsor are children of which any father
may be proud. They were both at their
best for company.

Dailledouze Bros, had a mammoth
flower, Eob Roy, very near fulfilling
President Fisher's prophecy. It seemed
abnormal and is about the limit to which
it seems possible or advisable to de-
velop size. Enough is as good as a
feast and six inches is sufficiency.

J. Austin Shaw.

Convention Memories.

Messrs. Pettigrew, Farquhar and Nich-
olson were a potent reception committee
at the banquet and made everybody feel
at home.

Hugo Schroeter, of Detroit, and his
fiancee. Miss Russell, of Newport, were
interested visitors. Next year it will be
Mr. and Mrs. Schroeter who register at
Toronto.

Guy Bate and his everlasting tile
bench from Cleveland seemed to appeal
constantly to a crowd of growers.

Gurney Hill's nominating oration in
behalf of John H. Dunlop was a tribute
of which any man might feel proud. It's
no wonder he was elected by acclama-
tion.

Washington was so delighted with its
S. A. F. convention last year that it is
already in the field for the carnation
meeting in 1907, and W. F. Gude usually
gets what he goes after.

Everybody was loud in praise of Bos-
ton hospitality. Many remained over
Friday to visit the establishments of
Fisher, Patten, Nicholson, Peirce, Mont-
gomery, Elliott and the fine retail
places.

Elsa Struss, a beautiful cerise from
the Cottage Gardens, won the much cov-
eted Lawson gold medal. It's not an
easy name to remember, but flower buy-
. ers will have to get used to it, for it has
come to stay.

Miscellaneous Exhibits.

Some very interesting exhibits in ad-
dition to those in the competitive classes
were staged in the small hall. Mrs. A.
W. Blake had plants of Laelia super-
biens and Cypripedium nitens. Robert
Cameron, from Harvard Botanic Gar-
dens, showed a splendid collection of
Primula Sinensis and P. Obconica, lach-
onalias, cyclamens, strobilanthes and Ca-
lanthe Veitchii. Julius Eoehrs Co. had
vases of named lilacs, also Phalaenopsis
Rimestadtiana and oncidimus. J. E.
Rothewell, Emil Johansson gardener,
showed cut odontoglossums and other
orchids. For Laelio-cattleya General
French, Cattleya Trianae x Laelia cinna-
bariana, he received a silver medal.

Alexander Ogg secured a cultural cer-
tificate for amaryllis. He had bloomed
these in seventeen months from seed.
The Lowthorpe School of Horticulture
for finely flowered baskets of Mahernia
odorata received a similar award. N. F.
Comley secured honorable mention for a
promising seedling acacia flowering free-
ly in small pots. Mrs. Frederick Ayer
had some well bloomed Chorizema iliei-
foliuni.

Oakes Ames, Sabin Bolton gardener,
had a unique and interesting lot of bo-
tanical orchids which merited the silver
medal awarded.

Mrs. E. M. Gill had a nice assortment
of cut. flowers and H. A. Jahn several
very promising carnation seedlings.

The Banquet

A fitting conclusion to the best con-
vention and the finest exhibition of the
divine flower ever seen was the banquet
at the Copley Square hotel given by the
alUed horticultural societies of Boston
to the members and guests on Thursday
evening. The number of ladies present
was especially gratifying, and most of
them remained with their husbands or
escorts until the close at one o'clock.
About 250 were present altogether.
Judge Hoitt, of Nashua, N. H., is an
.able and witty toastmaster and kept his
audience in good humor. The ladies were
lauded by L. E. Marquisee, of Syracuse,
in his usual happy strain, his stories
with natural acting accompaniments
demonstrating that an Irving or a Talma
had missed his calling. President Kas-
ting responded for the S. A. F., and espe-
cially urged the claims of the Dayton
convention. E. G. Hill gave interesting
references to his European trip and to
the origin of his rose Richmond. Prof.
Elson spoke in verse.

The presentation of the silver cups to
Messrs. Kleinheinz, Fisher, Nicholson,
Ward and Pierson furnished a delight-
ful interlude and the responses of these
gentlemen were vociferously applauded.

President-elect Dunlop emphasized his
invitation for a record crowd at Toronto
in 1907 and feelingly appreciated the
honor of his election. Patrick O 'Mara 's
toast was "The Bachelors," whom he
bandied carefully for personal reasons,
and on the subject he would have selected
if he could, ' ' The Fakes in Horticul-
ture, ' ' he waxed serious and retributive.
Mr. Shaw responded to the toast of
"The Press," and Miss Wither, Mr.
Carroll, and the sweet tenor of Toronto,
Mr. Lawrence, added greatly to the en-
joyment of the evening with their songg.

It was a Boston banquet in the style
the Boston horticulturists do things, and
everybody present voted it "the best
ever," as indeed it was. But wait and
see how the Toronto boys do things when
they get a chance to welcome their
American brethren. J. Austin Shaw.

Mr. Shaw's Dream.

The following is the * ' dream ' ' por-
tion of J. Austin Shaw's speech at the
banquet. He asserts that he had the
name of every variety staged at the
exhibition woven into his "nightmare."

' ' I had a funny dream last night and
I didn't eat a rarebit either. I thought
that William Scott and I were wafted
through the mystic hours, from midnight
on, from earth to sky; from Boston to
the land of flowers. On a White Cloud
we safely sat, our Guardian Angel, Mrs.
Bradt. We both felt like Aristocrats.
It was a day of Jubilee. The Cardinal
and his Fair Maid gave audience to
Scott and me, and told us not to be
afraid. The Queen, enthroned in royal
state, smiled a bright welcome as we
knelt close by her side. The Enchantress
waits and next to her was Roosevelt.

"It was an Imperial day, a day of
Abundance and Prosperity, when the
spirits of the immortals of floriculture
paid homage in this Eldorado of the
Gods. Far away we could hear the
echoes of the Vesper music, and the
sweet strains of My Maryland. Lady
Bountiful, the Fair Maid of Queen Lou-
ise, with Ruby lips made Melody, while
the Prospector, with his Beacon light,
filled all the great dome with the efful-
gence of Daybreak as bright as when
the sun's beams fall upon the Glacier
on the coasts of Norway. Never so en-
trancing a vision greeted one's eyes at
the royal palaces of Winsor.

"Shouts of Victory were heard and
approaching us with all the regal grace
of the Mikado, a golden medal on her
breast, and the insignia of the Queen's
Ward crowning on her brow, was the
Ideal, Elsa Struss. Following in her
train, radiantly beautifill, were Robert
Craig and his Fiancee, Nelson Fisher,
Mrs. E. A. Nelson, Harry Fenn and his
Estelle, Senator Crane and Mrs. M. A.
Patten; the Manley Crusader and the
Winsome White Enchantress, Helen
Gould, Pink Patten and the whole Law-
son family, John Haines and his Evan-
geline, Joost and Flora Hill, Wolcott
and his Belle, Dukemanni and Mrs. C.
W. Ward, Lieut. Peary and Fair Jes-
sica, the Red Warrior and Helen God-
dard and all the sweet ladies of the
court, Marion Peirce, Floriana, Genevieve
Lord, Ethel Crocker and Ethel Ward,
whose sweet, pure face some said Eclipsed
them all. Feathered songsters, Flamin-
goes and birds of every kind came flying
toward us from the Boston Market in
Perfection; in fact, a perfect Avalanche
of beauty, scintillating in the Afterglow
and irradiating Glenn and Dale with
loveliness.

' ' It isn 't any wonder we woke up, is
it? But it was a lovely dream. And,
though the carnations themselves are
not immortal, they have made so the
men who gave them birth. * *

Gaedeke to the Rescue.

August Gaedeke, Nashua, N. H., with
his usual alertness, proved himself equal
to the emergency on the closing day of
the carnation convention. At almost the
last moment Secretary Herr discovered
that the number of railroad certificates
necessary to secure the reduced rates
home lacked seven tickets. M. A. Patten
and P. J. Hauswirth called up Mr.-

House of Carnation Robert G-aig at the Cottage Gardens, Queens, N. Y.

Gaedeke by telephone, requested him,
after explaining the situation, to find
seven men, procure tickets and certificates
for the same and send the men to Boston.
Having only one nour to find the seven
men and receiving the message in the
midst of a large funeral order meant
some good, quick headwork, but with his
usual habit of hustle Mr.. Gaedeke landed
his men at the Copley Square hotel at
8:40 p. m. vrith the necesasry certificates,
thus saving members from a distance be-
tween $400 and $500. Geo. E. Buxton.

A WARD HOUSE.

To the large body of carnation grow-
ers who have managed to turn out mar-
ketable stock from pretty nearly ' ' any
old kind" of a greenhouse, the accom-
panying illustration will be of special
interest as showing * ' the latest wrin-
kles." This is one of the houses at the
Cottage Gardens, Queens, N. Y., where
many growers go, not only to see the
latest things in carnations and peonies,
but also to have a look at the newest
ideas put into the visible form of green-
houses. Mr. Ward is certainly nothing
behind the moment in his practices and
has, indeed, been accused of being a
little in advance of the times in some
of his ideas; at least he must be given
credit for the courage to invest early
in anything which promises to be of ad-
vantage in the conduct of his business.

Quite naturally the disseminator of a
novelty gives it good space in his place
and it is Robert Craig that occupies the
beds in the house illustrated. The photo-
graph was taken early last November.
The house is wide, of iron throughout
and with continuous ventilation on both
sides of the ridge. It will be noticed
that the sash are operated by an auto-
matic ventilating machme which Mr.

Ward has had in use for several years
and has found very satisfactory. It is
made by the Chadburn Mfg. Co., New-
burg, N. Y.

One of the interesting features of this
house is that in the left foreground a
pure white sport of Eobert Craig is
shown.

Vegetable Forcmg.

barb, 50c to 75c doz. bunches; mint, 75c
to $1 doz.

CUCUMBERS.

With the growers of cucumbers the
most troublesome part of the year will
soon be over. As the brighter days ar-
rive, they make freer growth, flower
freer and, on account of the pollen ma-
turing better, the setting of the flowers
is considerably facilitated. Where hand
pollination is necessary it can be done
almost every day now, as the strength
of the sun makes it necessary to give
more air and insures the thorough dry-

ing of the pollen, which not only works
freer but accomplishes its function bet-
ter, thus insuring a larger percentage of
fertilized flowers. Insects, also, begin to
move around as the weather becomes
warm and materially assist in the work
of pollination.

The only drawback to the brighter
and warmer weather is that insect pests
are apt to become more troublesome,
especially thrips and red spider. These
little beggars cause endless annoyance,
as they are without doubt the two hard-
est insect enemies to destroy of all the
legion that infest greenhouses. On
plants with harder foliage, they can be
kept down with hard and frequent
syringing, but the leaves of the cucum-
ber are so tender and easily lacerated
that water cannot be applied with suffi-
cient force to dislodge them; hence, the
necessity of using some sort of insecti-
ckle and applying in the form of a
spray.

We have found more benefit from the
uso of tobacco extract than anything we
liavo tried. This we make ourselves, for
cheapness, simply by soaking some
stems over night in a pail of water. In
the morning we strain oflf the liquid and
dilute to the proper strength, applying
with a sprayer so as to thoroughly wet
all the underside of the foliage. Applied
thus, about once a week as a precau-
tionary measure, the pests can be kept
f ro-n getting a foothold.

Tt is hard to designate just the proper
strength to which to dilute the liquid. I
might say to the color of brandy, but
there is so much variation in both the
color and quality of this that it cannot
be taken as a guide, but by beginning
weak, to be on the safe side, and increas-
ing in strength as required, the operator
will soon get to know just what strength
the plant will stand and what strength

it takes to accomplish the work of de-
struction.

The work of pinching and tying will
also need closer attention as the plants
make a more rapid growth. The sooner
unnecessary growths are pinched out
after they appear, the better the strength
of the plants will be concentrated into
the proper channels and loss of energy
averted. W. S. Croydon.

A NEW INDIANA PLANT.

The accompanying illustrations are
from photographs of the newly erected
plant of the Johnson Floral Co., Kendall-
ville, Ind. There are eight houses.
Seven aire 15x60 feet and the other is
12x40. The place was built since July
1, 1905. Three houses are in carnations,
one in roses, one for ferns, smilax, etc.,
one for mums and bedding plants, one
for a cold house and one for potted
stock for forcing. The stock is all in
good shape for so late a start. Kendall-
ville is an excellent little city of 5,000
prosperous people and trade is starting
off well.

The Glen Cove Dinner.

The Nassau County Horticultural So-
ciety's first annual dinner on Saturday
evening, at Glen Cove, L. I., was a great
success. Thos. Harrison, of Elsinore, the
La Dew estate, is president of the soci-
ety, and his splendid address on the laud-
able ambitions and future of the club,
its harmony and success, was a fitting
close to an evening of great enthusiasm
and enjoyment.

The tables were handsomely decorated
with azaleas, roses and mounds of foli-
age plants by the members. There were
vases of Long Island Beauty, a splendid
pink carnation, from F. Boulon & Son,
of Sea Cliff; Victory, from Guttman &
Weber, and Abundance and his fine
white freesia, Puritj', from Rudolph
Fischer, of Great Neck, L. I,

Buell G. Davis gave a stirring address
in which he spoke of the wonderful prog-
ress of gardening in Nassau county dur-
ing his twenty-two years in Glen Cove,
predicting great triumphs for the vigor-
ous young society and giving praise for
its splendid exhibition in the fall. Every
member and visitor present contributed
his share towards the evening's enjoy-
ment. The society's tenor, John Mc-
Nichol, was in fine voice. The Ricard
brothers, of Thorburn's and the Stumpp
& Walter Co., sang old and new songs
by the dozen and added greatly to the
happiness of the occasion. Other speak-

ers and songsters were: F. L. Atkins,
of Rutherford; G. A. Burnett, of Bur-
nett Bros.; W. Ross, of F. R. Pierson
Co., Tarrytown; John White, with J.
H. Troy, New Rochelle; A. J. Guttman,
New York; Rudolph Fischer, F. Boulon,
Jr., Charles Lenker, Chas. Jenecke, of
John Lewis Childs, Floral Park, and a
score or more of the well-known gar-
deners on the princely private estates of
the neighborhood, club members and
others. A more willing, versatile, ge-
nial, harmonious gathering of the bone
and sinew of the gardening profession it
would be hard to find.

Various Notes.

The military funeral of General
Wheeler on Sunday was an imposing
ceremony. Great loads of flowers were
in evidence, and from the President's
orchids to the ivy wreath of the old sol-
dier all classes paid sympathy and honor
to brave Fighting Joe. Very many of
the florists of Brooklyn and New York
were called upon to share in the provi-
sion of these beautiful emblems of es-
teem and affection.

S. Masur, Brooklyn, had charge of the
funeral decorations for Attorney Sher-
man last week, a prominent lawyer of
the city of churches. A blanket of pink
roses was the special feature. Mr. Masur
also had charge of the Dryer wedding,
the house being elaborately decorated
with nearly 2,000 pink roses and many
boxes of wild smilax.

The annual dinner of the New York
Florists' Club is to be held' at the St.
Denis, at 7 p. m. sharp, this week Sat-
urday. Chairman Sheridan has already
the pleasure to announce an assured suc-
cess. Very many visitors from adjacent
horticultural societies will be with us.
A week earlier and we would have
caught the celebrities on their way home
from Boston. A goodly number
"stopped over" on Sunday, Vice-Presi-
dent Altick among them. The officers
were looking over the ground with a
view to the carnation convention here
during the World's Fair year, 1909.

Poughkeepsie dines its Dutchess Coun-
ty Horticultural Society on February
22. Elberon, N. J., contemplates its
first ' ' annual ' ' in February. ' ' That
will be about all" this season.

Alex McConnell was very busy Sunday
with funeral work. Among other offer-
ings were some fine orchid wreaths from
the Goulds for General Wheeler.

Meyer Gottlieb, for twenty years with

should be almost over. Monday the tem-
perature fell to freezing, clear and cold,
the day ideal, and boomed the retail
business to the satisfaction of all. Mc-
Kinley day was observed more loyally
than any year since the movement began.
Prices remained normal. No excessive
rates were demanded and when the
wholesalers closed at 6 o 'clock hardly a
carnation remained unsold.

Good Beauties are still scarce and for
the best $9 a dozen was obtained read-
ily. Richmond is selling well and com-
manding fine prices, the best retailing
easily at $10 a dozen. Its lasting qual-
ity and perfume make it very popular.
Brides, Maids and the other standard
roses hold about the same as last week.

Violets do hot go above 75 cents for
specials, and with the anticipated flood
I will not be surprised to see 50 cents as
top price.

Tulips are abundant. Freesias and
narcissi are increasing daily. Lilac and
cattleyas are equal to the demand.

Mr. McConnell, has decided to assume
the responsibility of a store on his own
account. He has rented the store on
the corner of Fifty-seventh street and
Madison avenue, formerly occupied by
Owen McDonald, and opposite Hanft
Bros. His fellow employees presented
him with a handsome pearl scarf pin on
his departure and Mr. McConnell has
many good things to say of him. The
location is an excellent one and he has
had the best possible schooling, and
should succeed.

The Eosary was very busy Monday
with the decorations and bouquets for
the coming out ball of Miss Dorothy
Whitney. Orchids and American Beau-
ties were used.

Anton Schultheis, of College Point,
has been very ill. Pneumonia is preva-
lent.

M. Ford, of Ford Bros., and M. Bowe,
of Broadway, contemplate a Florida trip
next month.

The Limprecht Company's factory is
working overtime. This and Mr. Lim-
precht's residence are over on the Pali-
sades, in Jersey, where he has one and
one-half acres near the new park and
overlooking New York. This firm has
just secured at auction the entire stock
of the Tropical Decorative Plant Co.,
whose headquarters were at the Grand
Central Palace, and later next to J. K.
Allen's on West Twenty-eighth street.

Beaulieu, the seedsman of Woodside,
came near planting his last onion last
week, owing to an oversupply of char-
coal gas in his sleeping apartment. With
the usual good fortune of his French
counti'ymen, he came up smiling.

U. G. Schollay, of Brooklyn, tells of
the honor accorded by the engineers' so-
ciety in re-electing him to the presi-
dency at its annual meeting last week
in New York City.

Siebrecht & Son have three houses of
Cattleya Trianse in bloom at their New
Eoclielle conservatories, well worth a
visit. Over 10,000 blossoms are a rare
sight.

The next club meeting will be carna-
tion and ladies' night. A large display
and attendance is expected. C. W. Ward
will deliver an illustrated lecture.

The wholesalers' employees announce
another ball March 19.

J. B. Nugent was 47 years of age on
Wednesday, and kept open house.

A final account of the trustee in bank-
ruptcy handling the assets of Geo. E.
Bradshaw has been filed. The creditors
will hold their final meeting February 6
at 2:30 p. m., 68 William street.

After a long illness, from asthma and
other diseases, one of the old-timers,
Robert Payne, passed away, and on Sun-
day was buried. Jos. Fenrich, Lecakes
& Co., and other wholesalers sent hand-
some floral designs. The firm was Payne
& Dehnert, of 44 Catherine street.

Death of John Reck.

John Reck died January 24 in New
York, at the German hospital. Death
came as the result of the amputation of
a leg, which was performed January 23
in an attempt to save his life from blood
poisoning. Mr. Reck was kicked in the leg
by a horse last summer and the wound
bothered him greatly ever since.

The deceased was 60 years of age on
January 10. He was born in Nurnberg,
Bavaria, and when a child showed a

strong liking for plants, trees and flow-
ers. He was encouraged in his desires
and was sent to Paris to study under a
noted landscape gardener. Later he trav-
eled through Europe and the British
Isles, working and studying at the same
time. He spent considerable time in
southern Russia, England and Ireland.
When the Franco-Prussian war broke out
in 1870, John Eeck held a lieutenant's
commission in the Fifteenth Bavarian
infantry. He saw service in a number
of engagements, besides taking part in
the siege of Paris.

Mr. Beck came to America in 1873 and
after a short stay in New York came to
Bridgeport. Shortly after his arrival
here he became gardener for Nathaniel
Wheeler. Later he went into business
for himself and today the nurseries es-
tablished by him on Oak street are
among the largest in the state.

He was president of the Board of
Charities for six years. It was he who
hit upon the idea of giving groceries to
the poor instead of money. Mr. Eeck
took great pride in educating his chil-
dren, and for several years he made trips
to Europe accompanied by either one or
two of his children. Undoubtedly the
saddest blow ever suffered by Mr. Eeck
was caused by the death of his two eldest
daughters, Mamie and Elsie, which oc-
curred during the past two years.

He is survived by the widow and two
children, Carl, who is a member of the
firm, and Miss Harriet.

The funeral was held January 27, the
craft being well represented and the
flowers many. S. D. Horan was among
the pallbearers.

THE READERS' CORNER.

Missed It.

The Florists' Eeview usually ar-
rives at my address in Saturday's mail,
but last Saturday the paper failed to
turn up, nor has it come today. Was I
forgotten by the mailing clerk, or has
the F. E. gone on the tear, celebrating
Christmas? (I have a better opinion of
the F. E. than that.) Or has some dis-
honest cuss recognized a good thing
when he saw it? Please answer this to
the satisfaction of Geo. Murch.

Shasta Daisies.

In reply to a query by L. G. on page
429 of the issue for January 4 I would
say that Shasta daisies are easily propa-
gated from cuttings. There is no need
to wait for roots. Cut off the young
shoots below the ground and place in the
sand. In a few weeks they will be
rooted. Pot into 2% -inch or 3-inch pots.
Plant out as soon as danger from severe
frost is gone. If liberally treated they
will need four square feet the first sea-
son and give not less than fifty blooms.
If the young plants show a bud early
in life pinch it out, otherwise there is no
need to disbud. Don't let them seed.
The better you treat them the better they
will treat you. E. A. W.

Kenosha, Wis. — Louis Turner, who
has been in the south for some time, is
resuming business here.

I HAVE been well pleased with the
Review and have good returns from
advertising in it. — W. J. Eichards,
Wayland, Ind.

T ENJOY the Eeview beyond words
to express; we look forward to its com-
ing each week and feel there is no florist
who can afford to be without it. — A. L.
Van Ostrand, Abilene, Kan.

NOTICE

Because of the new wage scale which
the Printers' Union has enforced upon
those employers not willing to suffer
interruption of their business, especially
because of that part of the scale which
makes overtime practically prohibitive,
it is of first importance that the Review
obtain its advertising '^copy'* earlier.

It is therefore earnestly requested
tlut all advertisers mail their "copy^
to reach us by Monday or Tuesday
morning, instead of Wednesday morn-
ing, as many have done in the past.

Contributors also please take heed.

Toronto, Ont. — J. H. Dunlop has a
light pink sport of Lawson of which
he thinks highly. It has the color of
Marquis and the habit of the parent.

Colorado Springs, Colo. — The Pike's
Peak Floral Co. has been incorporated
with a capital stock of $50,000. Im-
provements costing $3,000 will be made
in the greenhouse and gardens on East
Columbia street. A brick boiler house
is now under construction. Directors of
the company are : W. H. Evans, Charles
T. Lowndes and Walter Scott.

Cedar Kapids, Ia. — Jas. G. Crozer,
who is one of the oldest and best known
florists in this part of the state, was run
over by a train on January 26. He was
taken to the hospital and his right foot
amputated. His collar bone was broken
and he sustained other injuries, but is
standing the shock as well as could be
expected and his recovery is looked for.

ASPARAGUS PLUMOSUS.

Does Asparagus plumosus compactus
seed the same as Asparagus Sprengeri?

C. F. M.

Asparagus plumosus nanus is doubt-
less the variety referred to in this query
as compactus, and in reply it may be
stated that this plant does seed, though
not with the same freedom as Asparagus
Sprengeri. There is also a difference in
the seeds, from the fact that ripe seeds
of Asparagus plumosus are nearly, or
quite, black, while the berries of Aspara-
gus Sprengeri are light red. The orig-
inal Asparagus plumosus seeds more free-
ly than the variety nanus, and it is
claimed that unscrupulous dealers some-
times mix the two. W. H. T.

IROOTED ROSE CUTTINGS.

The Treasury Department is not satis-
fied that the duty on rooted rose cut-
tings should not be 2% cents each, in-
stead of twenty-five per cent ad valorem
as has three times been decided by the
Board of General Appraisers. The first

time the question came up it was on a
protest by the American Express Co.,
which was clearing at Buffalo a ship-
ment for Heller Bros., New Castle, Ind.
That appeal is still pending in the cir-
cuit court for the southern district of
New York, In the Eeview of January
18 two similar cases were reported,
where the collector of customs had as-
sessed duty on rooted rose cuttings at
2% cents each, only to be promptly re-
versed by Board of General Appraisers.
Under date of January 19 the Assistant
»*^ecretary of the Treasury directed the
collector to file an appeal to the courts.

TO MAKE MUSLIN WATERPROOF.

Can ordinary muslin be prepared in
any way so that it will shed water?

E. B.

I do not know of any special way to
prepare muslin so that it will shed water
except a thin solution of linseed oil and
white lead. That may not answer for
what you want to use it, which you do
not say. Perhaps some one else can tell.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

We have had a week of very bright,
warm weather and the effect has been
apparent in all departments of the
trade. The receipts are larger; city
business is not so brisk as it would be
with crisp, wintry weather; country cus-
tomers who have some glass of their
own have also inereased cuts as well as
we and are buying lightly. The result
has been a considerable weakening in
prices, although quality has been on the
up grade ever since the sun came out.
Beauties are in splendid shape. The
cuts are large and prices have taken a
drop. Best Brides and Maids still com-
mand the figure which has prevailed for
the past two or three weeks, but there is
a more critical selection. Maids again
have good color. Bed roses are not
abundant and Chatenay is not so large
a factor as it was earlier in the season.

The carnation receipts have increased
materially. McKinley day did not make
a ripple; in fact, the market was weaker
on Friday, Saturday and Sunday than
at any time in weeks past. Quite al
few growers expected something would
be doing for McKinley day, as did a
number of the wholesalers, and prepara-
tions were made accordingly, with the
result that some stock received on Friday
was still on hand Monday morning.
Quality is excellent in all varieties.

Bulbous stock is becoming very abun-
dant. There are more callas than the
market needs and the price on Harrisii
is weakening. Tulips are also lower
because of large supplies and Paper
Whites, Eomans and daffodils are equal
to all requirements. Stevia is disap-
pearing. Violets are not coming in as
heavily as usual, but there are, never-
theless, all the market can consume.
Grand Eapids is beginning to ship Lady
Campbell. The very best of each variety
sell, but the poorer stock makes the aver-
age very low.

The green goods market has been a
little slow, but is picking up.

Various Notes.

If the month of January has in any
way disappointed growers as to returns,
which it probably has not, the difference
is very much more than made up by the
saving in fuel. The weather bureau does
not record a January which has been
so mild, 60 bright or with such light
winds. In the month the difference be-
tween the daily mean temperature and
the normal has been an excess of 296
degrees, showing each day to have been
about 10 degrees warmer than usual.

The mild weather may have its effect
on the wholesalers next summer. The
large ice companies have not yet stored
a pound and high prices are likely to
result. Weather-sharps say it will be a
hot summer, at that.

The Eetailers' Association held a
regular meeting at the Heyworth build-
ing Monday evening. The board of di-
rectors presented a set of resolutions
put in circulation that afternoon, set-
ting forth the principal aim of the body.
There was discussion as to the attitude
toward donating flowers, commissions
to undertakers and other topics of inter-
est to the retail trade. Andrew Mc-
Adams, treasurer of the retailers' organ-
ization of 1902, turned over a balance
of $31.31.

H. E. Klunder is laid up this week
with rheumatism.

E. H, Hunt has incorporated, with a
capital stock of $40,000. The incorpor-
ators are Charles M. Dickinson, Wil-
liam E. Lynch and Edgar A. Buzzell,
the latter an attorney. No change in
the business is contemplated.

The Benthey-Coatsworth Co. has placed
an order with the Foley Mfg. Co. for
material for three greenhouses 27x300
feet for which grading is now being done
at New Castle. L. Coatsworth is on the
ground.

The George Wittbold Co. has a con-
siderable stock of a novelty which has
been christened Lomaria Wittboldii and
is said to be the only tree fern with elk-
horn leaves. Plantsmen who have seen
it speak well of it as a specimen for
collections.

Miss H. E., Carlson, formerly with
A. Lange, has opened a retail store at
92 Jackson boulevard and is doing a
nice business.

Vaughan & Sperry have a novelty in

A. L. Randall Co. has its stock of

The new catalogue is out and business
is beginning in good shape.

F. C. Struvy states that his daughter
is to be married in May. She has charge
of the south side store, which Mr. Struvy
will dispose of. He says he would like
also to be rid of the north side store.
He has grown well-to-do in the business.

but has never been able to see any fu-
ture in it. His friends designate him
as a business hypochondriac.

E. C. Amling calls attention to the
fact that on February 12 and 22 there
will be but one mail delivery, leaving
the postoffice about 9 a. m. Orders not
mailed in season for this delivery should
be telegraphed. February 14 is Val-
entine 's day. Last year many violets
were required.

Peter Reinberg is just in with a fine
crop of Uncle John and his Brides and
Maids are also producing well.

George Reinberg is making prepara-
tions to rebuild some of his oldest houses
and to add enough glass to cover his re-
maining vacant real estate, nearly two"
acres.

Weiland & Risch are making prepara-
tions to begin their new range of houses
for Killarney as soon as possible in
the spring. They will plant only own-
root stock of Killarney this year, but
will retain the grafted plants now on
the benches. The propagating depart-
ment is also busy keeping pace with or-
ders for stock of this rose.

P. J. Hauswirth says that, of all
that he saw in New York and Boston
last week, nothing impressed him more
favorably than Wm. Sim 's sweet peas.

The venerable father of N. J. Wietor
and Henry Wietor has been ill for sev-
eral months and is steadily growing
weaker. He was a pioneer vegetable
grower north of town and many veterans
will be pained to hear the news.

Kroeschell Bros. Co. saj's that the num-
ber of early inquiries for boilers indi-
cates a very busy season of greenhouse
building.

Among the week's visitors are Carl
Hirsch, of Hillsdale, Mich., and Charles
Heite, of the W. L. Rock Flower Co.,
Kansas City.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

Trade among the local retail florists
the past week was reported as being
good. The weather has been exceed-
ingly mild for January and has created
a large supply of cut flowers through-
out the month. There was a liberal de-
mand for first-class stock, but the sup-
ply in this grade was not enough. With
the first and second grades the supply
was much more than the demand.

Really fine roses are rather limited.
During the past week there was a big
demand for Richmond and Killarney,
also fancy Brides and Maids. Fancy
American Beauties are in demand, with
top price at $5. Fancy carnations have
been selling well, especially for McKinley
day. Colored stock had a great call at
advanced prices. The large amount of
funeral work cleaned up a big lot of
white and Enchantress carnations, which
were quite plentiful.

Violets increase in quantity daily and
the quality is very good. Prices on
Californias are very low. Doubles are
fine in color but demand is slow. Bulb-
ous stock is becoming more plentiful
each day and prices are down, especially
on Romans and Paper Whites, Fine
white tulips are in the market at $4 per
hundred. Valley is steady at the usual
price. Daffodils and jonquils are now
coming in and will soon be plentiful.

The Market.

A decided slump took place in prices
last week and flowers sold at very low
rates' on one or two days. Slightly im-
proved conditions now prevail, but sup-
plies continue much too heavy for the
demand. Roses hold their own fairly
well and have suffered less than other
flowers, not being overabundant, but
carnations have dropped considerably.
Few select blooms now exceed $3, while
a good many go at $1 to $1.50. On
some days a number went even below the
dollar mark. Continued warm, clear
weather has made the output very large
for January.

Violets vary all the way from 30 cents
to 75 cents. Some have sold as low as
25 cents. Sweet peas have made 50 cents
to $1, daffodils and tulips $2 to $3,
Paper Whites $1.50 and lily of the val-
ley $2 to $4. Easter lilies are abundant
at $8. There is a good supply of
freesia, antirrhinum and other season-
able flowers. Asparagus and adiantum
are both in active demand and rather

scarce.

At the next meeting of the Garden-
ers' and Florists' Club, Robert Cameron
will deliver a lecture on his recent tour
through the West Indies.

At Horticultural hall on January 27
E. W. Wood opened a discussion on
fruit culture in which many took part.
A large and interested audience was
present.

Our next important horticultural event
will be the spring exhibition of the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society
combined with that of the American
Rose Society. It promises to be the
best of its kind ever seen in America.

A delegation of convention visitors
journeyed by special car to Thomas F.
Matthews' place in Dorchester on Janu-
ary 25 to see the Holly-Castle electric
circulator in operation. They were well
pleased with the new invention. Re-
freshments were served and short
speeches made by Wm. Scott, E. O. Or-
pet and others.

The Gardeners' and Florists' Club has
been invited to hold a field day at W.
W. Edgar & Co.'s on March 31.

Mrs. J. P. Snow, of Sharon, has a
batch of 500 plants of a very fine sport
from Harlowarden. It first appeared in
1904. The color is bright scarlet, stem
and calyx Al and it is very floriferous.
Mrs. Snow has picked numerous stems
twenty-eight to thirty-four inches in
length and is now propagating all she
can of it.

We continue to get abnormally mild
weather and each day we read in the
daily press of budding trees, sprouting
bulbs and other indications of spring.
It is certainly rare to find winter acon-
ites, snowdrops, dandelions, pansies,
Spiraea Thunbergi and Cydonia Japonica
in flower in January, as is the case this
year.

The distribution of 10,000 compli-
mentary tickets swelled the attendance
of the public at the late show very
materially. The very liberal press no-
tices were also a great aid.

Patten & Co.'s Mikado showed up
well at the late exhibition and is being
freely ordered by those who have seen it
growing. W. N. Craig.

For more than a week we have been
experiencing the finest spring weather.
Grass is showing green and in
one instance dandelions are reported
in bloom. As a result the streets
are crowded every afternoon and
small trade has been much better. This,
with a number of large decorations the
past week, has helped things generally,
but there is still room for improvement.
Bulb stock of all kinds is coming in more
plentiful and better in quality. Car-
nations are right in crop with most of
the growers in this vicinity.

Various Notes.

Theo. F. Beckert is sending the Pitts-
burg Cut Flower Co. some very fine lilac
and frecsia.

A fire which partly destroyed the mar-
ket house January 20 kept the market
people out of business for several days,
among them Geo. Eichhorn, H. Baldinger,
and Chris Hausen, but they are all now
down to business again. Blind Brothers*
stand, which was enclosed in glass, was
entirely demolished.

W. A. Clarke, of the Cut Flower Co.,
was compelled to neglect some of his
friends the past two weeks while he did
jury duty.

The Florists' Club will meet February
6 under the new oflScers, and the boys
should all be on deck to give our friend
John Jones the proper encouragement.
John has always been an honest, hard
worker for the club, and now that we
have forced him into the chairmanship,
let us all at least lend him the encour-
agement our presence will aflford.

T. R. Dunn, the man who purchased the
Sid Gibb's place at Woodville, Pa., says
he does not pretend to know the business,
but that he has a competent man in
charge and expects by another season to
be heard from.

J. J. Fuchs, of the south side, is re-
decorating the interior of his store, and
with his conservatory on the second floor
in the rear of his store, which he has
stocked with a lot of new palms, his
place is up-to-date in every respect.

The Market

Business is very brisk in all lines of
cut flowers. Koses are a little more plen-
tiful, but with quite enough demand to
maintain prices on good stock. The fea-
tures of the market are the improve-
ments in tulips; La Seine and Yellow
Prince are both in fine form and can be
had in quantity; freesia, of a quality
never surpassed in this city, can be had
in great quantity at the price formerly
asked for ordinary grades. Cattleyas
are also plentiful and of fine quality.
Some disappointment was experienced in
shipping cut flowers during the abnor-
mally warm weather of last week. For-
tunately, these conditions have changed
and the stock is now arriving in much
harder condition, assuring ite keeping
qualities. McKinley day created quite
a demand for carnations, pink being pre-
ferred. William Graham stated that he
had sold 20,000, 10,000 in one order.
Some of the department stores distri-
buted these flowers on this day. The
Union League also presented its mem-
bers with carnation boutonnieres.

At the Bellevue-Stratford.
Through the courtesy of Edward
Habermehl, I am able to give the Be-
VIEW readers a few ideas about what
the street pronounces the handsomest
decoration ever seen in this city. This
decoration was arranged in the ball-room
of the hotel on the evening of January
25 for Mrs. E. C. Knight. The ball-
room being too large for the occasion, a
balcony was arranged around the entire
room at the proper distance from the
walls. The idea carried out in the
decoration was that of a French garden,
the masses of foliage rising behind the
balcony in some places to a height of
filteen feet, being relieved by magnifi-
cent vases of fancy American Beauty
roses which were placed on the posts at
regular intervals around the balcony.

matching the Beauties in color, were also
used, especially on the stage. White lilacs
were the only other flower in the decorij-
tion. It is estimated that nearly two
thousand Beauties were used, two-thirds
of them being of the fancy grade. The
shorter-stemmed flowers were used on
trellises near the entrances. Mrs. Knight
was greatly pleased with the eflfeet pro-
duced, complimenting the decorators on
the ability with which they had carried
out every detail of a French garden. The
tables were ornamented with vases of
fancy Beauties, rose foliage being used
on the cloth. Two days later, January
27, the same decorators arranged very
handsome floral effects for the dinner
given by Mr. and Mrs. Clothier for Miss
Roosevelt. The ladies* table was a hol-
low oval, the centre being filled by Azalea
Vervaeneana, bordered with white lilacs.
Each guest had a bouquet of eight-
een fancy Bridesmaid roses. The gentle-
men's table, in another room, was ar-
ranged in a horeshoe shape, the guests
sitting on the outside, and a little way
up the inside of the horseshoe table, most
of the space inside being reserved for a
Japanese garden, which was skillfully
planned and executed. American Beauty
roses were freely used in this decoration.

The rooms and corridors were also
adorned.

The Disadvantage of Shows.

Much has been said and written of the
great benefits of shows, and I am a
warm advocate of these exhibitions, be-
lieving that they do much to advance the
interests of horticulture. There is, how-
ever, something to be said on the other
side. A friend tells me that an amateur,
whom he met. frequently, always spoke in
the most glowing terms of his gardener's
accomplishments, believing that he could
do almost anything with plants that
grew. One day, however, the amateur
talked about other topics, and finally,
when pressed to know how his gardener
was doing, he admitted that things were
not well. He said that he was very fond
of bulbs, imported a good many, and
liked to have them throughout the flow-
ering season. But his gardener insisted
on flowering them all at once, so that he
could pick the best for the show. There
some other amateur, recognizing his abil-
ity, offered him a higher salary than he
was receiving, with many other induce-
ments thrown in. "Well,'* my friend
said, * ' I suppose he went t ' * * * Went I ' '
the amateur echoed, "no; he just flew."

Best Market Carnation.

In view of the carnation show at Bos-
ton last week, the Keview requested Ed-
ward Eeid to give his ideas on the best
varieties for everyday bread-and-butter.
Mr. Keid states that in white he consid-
ers Boston Market as the most satisfac-
tory. Flora Hill is very desirable, espe-
cially in warm weather, because of its
keeping qualities. Queen, he also consid-
ers excellent. In pink, Mr. Beid thinks
there is room for another good variety.
Mrs. Nelson Fisher is so far the most
satisfactory of the Grace Wilder shade.
Mrs. Lawson is not thoroughly satis-
factory on account of its color. En-
chantress is Bnx)erb among soft pinks.
In scarlet. Flamingo is the best, though
curly in the fall and possibly not very
free flowering.

Various Notes.

Fire broke out in the home adjoining
the store of Geo. H. Berke, 1505 Pacific
avenue, Atlantic City, N. J. Fortunate-
ly, it was checked before serious damage
had been done. The fire was due to a
curtain coming in contact with a gas
stove.

The street has it that Robt. Scott &
Son will erect a range of short span
houses at Sharon Hill, to be used for
growing Richmonds. That is, the extra
glass is erected for Richmond, but the
new houses will be used for something
else.

D. T. Connor, who, as is well known,
represents the Bumham-Hitchings-Pier-
son Co., has been very active in arrang-
ing for the erection of new houses. Be-
sides those already reported he will fur-
nish roofing material for two houses for
Lehr Bros., of Baltimore; for one house
for Mrs. Fleming, of Ocean Heights,
near Atlantic City; two houses for the
Philadelphia Carnation Co. (Robt. Craw-
ford & Son), Secane, Pa.; one house for
A. Gontram, violet specialist, Holmes-
burg, Pa.; four houses 16x150 feet for
David Anderson, of Garrettford. This
is virtually rebuilding, as Mr. Anderson
will use the glass that was in his father 's
place.

W. E. McKissick, E. Bernheimer and
the Philadelphia Cut Flower Co. have
joined the ranks of freesia specialists.

George A. Strohlein, of Riverton, N.
J., has received a letter from J. D.

lesson to one open to learn. So in com-
pany with the Hon. Wm. P. Kasting,
we journeyed up the Lake Shore to the
city of Erie, a thriving, growing city.
The name Erie was familiar to us many
years before we ever expected to see
the beautiful lake. Campbell, the
Scotch poet, says, **Lo, the poor In-
dian, on Erie's shore," and ever since
that the dusky aborigine has been known
as Mr. and Mrs. Lo.

Mr. Kasting occupies and is prospec-
tive owner of a fine place built by S.
Alfred Baur. It appears that Mr. Baur
built with the best of intentions, but be-
fore the houses were fully equipped he
ran short of the necessary and collapsed
before any benches could be built. The
place consists of seven houses, each
33x150, well built and well heated, with
a shed 210 feet long that you can drive
a load of hay in at one end and out at;
the other. There is every convenience
for an extensive business; a spacious
cool cellar and a boiler pit that will
hold ten carloads of fuel, with two
forty horse-power boilers. John Milley,
a Buffalo boy, is the present manager
and, though handicapped for want of
benches, is doing well. It is essentially
a cut flower place, but there are many
other crops at present, all of which enter
nicely into Mr. Kasting 's businMS.
There are twenty-one acres of land, in-
cluding every quality of soil, some ideal
for roses; two large ice houses and pond
to supply the ice, several large bams
and stables; altogether a model place
for a very large florist's plant. It is
situated in a fine growing part and only
a few yards outside the city limits.
When Mr. Baur gave up possession he
left affairs rather tangled up, which it
would take a Philadelphia lawyer to
explain, but eventually there is little
doubt that Mr. Kasting will be the proud
possessor of this fine property, which,
when fully equipped, would afford a
handsome income to any industrious flo-
rist. The best Pennsylvania coal can be
bought there at $1.45 per ton. We pay
$2.45 in Buffalo. Mr. Milley lives on
the place, in a very neat house and, with
a pretty young wife, should be very
comfortable. The day was glorious,
mud abundant, ^nd having developed an
abnormal appetite we greatly enjoyed
the day.

A Trip to Attica.

The following week, and on a day
more like June than January, we ran
out to see Mr. Stroh, of Attica. His
place consists of about 60,000 feet and
is almost entirely devoted to carnations.
His latest addition is two houses, each
40x200 feet, up-to-date in every respect,
divided in the middle by a house occu-
pied with material for local trade as-
paragus, smilax and adiantum. The
houses are fiUed with Lawson, Flora Hill,
White Cloud and Morning Glory. Mr.
Stroh has not been carried away with
every late introduction and sticks to
what suits his ground and skill. Morn-
ing Glory has been a sight. Lawson
is now a sight, but best of all is White
Cloud. With all the wonders lately in-
troduced, it would be scarcely reason-
able to expect a grander or more per-
fect house of carnations and I begged
for a photograph of this house.

The gravity system of steam heating
is here adopted and aa there is facility
to put the boilers down twelve feet, no
other system would be advisable; still
there is the ashes to hoist out. The
boiler house is arched with steel and ce-
ment and the loads of coal drive on and
above it and the coal drops from the

gjagon into the boiler house. It is as
iandy a way of handling fuel as I have
yet seen.

Attica ia the home of Mr. Stevens,
a prominent senator of the New York
legislature, and he has a princely farm
with palaces for his fancy stock of high
steppers that have carried off so many
blue ribbons at Madison Square. He has
a nice range of glass at his summer
home, but unfortunately the houses were
locked and the gardener where he should
be, at his home.

Then Mr. Stroh drove us through the
beautiful estate to the home of Mrs.
Stevens, the elder, in the village. Here
we found Mr. Copsey, the gardener.
Four small greenhouses and a warm
grapery reminded us vividly of olden
days. There were many familiar plants
that it was interesting to see for a
change, in a land whew vou see nothing
but roses and carnations by the acre.
Mr. Copsey and the venerable Mrs.
Stevens are great admirers of the Re-
view and it was pleasant to hear of such

mutual trust and kindness between em-
ployer and gardener. Mr. Copsey 's hos-
pitality was both timely and welcome
and fully appreciated.

The principal object lesson at Mr.
Stroh 's place was that you should never
discard a variety that does well and
pays well for any variety for which you
have only another man's word as to
merit. The day was well spent and we
kept on learning, the more so because
we had with us the genial, unassuming
but wise Barney Myers, manager of W.
J. Palmer's place at Lancaster, where
the now famous Bed Lawson originated.

Various Notes.

Speaking from personal experience,
business for January has been greatly
better than January, 1905, no particu-
lar feature, but good all along the line.
The weather may partly account for this.
Don't let anyone persuade you that
snow and ice are conducive to brisk
business. Far different. When people
can with comfort promenade the side-
walks or take a carriage ride without
freezing to death any retail business
will thrive. W. S.

Springfield, III. — Thomas Peaker
has started to build a greenhouse 20x32
and hopes to enlarge soon, as business
increases.

Guthrie, Okla. — ^Furrow Bros, will
soon begin the construction of two 300-
foot houses to be used in connection with
their present place. The addition will
comprise 16,000 square feet of glass.

Louisville, Ky. — Jacob Schulz took
full advantage of the opportunity af-
forded by McKinley day. He published
in a Saturday evening paper, January
27, one of the strongest possible adver-
tisements, printed in three colors and
surrounded by reading matter. The ad-
vertisement was three columns wide and
nine inches deep. In the center was a
portrait of McKinley in black, sur-
rounded by a wreath of carnations in
red and green. At the bottom was a
card stating that Mr. Schulz would have
a full line of the finest carnations. He
felt the effect in largely increased trade
on Monday and the general effect of so
good an advertisement will be lasting.

CLEVELAND.

The Market.

The pleasant spring weather is still
with us, and is undoubtedly the cause of
the slow demand for all kinds of flowers,
trade being very dull, and, fortunately, the
supply limited, so that the loss was small.
Prices hold about as follows: Eoses, $6
to $12 a hundred; Beauties, $1 to $6 a
dozen; carnations, $1.50 to $5 per hun-
dred; sweet peas, short, $1, long, $1.50;
tulips, $3 to $4; Paper Whites and Ko-
mans, $2 to $3; daffodils, $3 to $4; vio-
lets, single, 40 cents to 60 cents; double,
75 cents to $1.

Various Notes.

Smith & Fetters report things a little
quiet at present, but have nice orders
booked for coming events. Their store
always looks fine and the display window
has all the latest novelties in cut flowers
and artistic supplies.

Bramley & Mann, who recently pur-
chased the Collins & Harrison Co.'s store
at 164 Euclid avenue, have moved to the
corner of Payne avenue and Fifty-fifth
street, where they have a large store and
basement. The location is fine and the
trade wishes them success in their new
place.

The Cleveland delegation to Boston
was small, but what they lacked in num-
bers was made up in the enjoyment and
benefits they derived from the trip.

At Akron.

A recent visit to Akron found the re-
tail trade a little quiet. N, Laskaras had
a fine lot of palms, rubbers and ferns in
his display window.

Heepe's Sons had a fine window of
bulb stuff in baskets and hampers and
were busy with funeral orders. A visit
to their greenhouses found everything in
good condition and a good crop of car-
nations just coming.

Aug. Schmidt, of the Oak Hill Green-
houses, was busy with the carnations, and
has everything growing nicely.

J. Salmon & Son were busy on funeral
orders, and a table decoration. This firm
certainly has some fine houses of carna-
tions, and is cutting good flowers and
lots of them.

At the North Hill greenhouses, Edward
Schwerdtfeger was busy with the bulbs,
bringing in a batch and getting them
on the forcing bench. Business has
been very good with him, and he says
he has nothing to complain about. C.

NORTHERN TEXAS.

The past two weeks have been quiet
ones with the trade in this section, and
business is just commencing to pick up,
heavy rains and gloomy days having
kept people indoors. The weather while
not being cold, the mercury not going
below 24 degrees, was disagreeable, neces-
sitating continuous firing. The first snow
of the season fell here last Thursday but
it did not last long. At the present
writing the mercury is hovering around
the seventies with the nights at fifty,
doing away with the boilers for awhile.

Stock at the different places is looking
good. Carnations are doing fine, espe-
cially Enchantress, Lawson and Wolcott.
Estelle is nearly a failure in this sec-
tion and a good red is badly needed. Ex-
periments are being carried on with some

of the new varieties, and it is hoped that
a good commercial red can be procured
that will stand the climatic conditions
here.

Prices are keeping up well and trade
is reported brisk all over the section.
Eoses are selling for $1.50 per dozen;
carnations, 75 ci^nts and $1 ; valley,
$1.50; Romans, $1; narcissi, 75 cents;
mignonette, 75 cents; callas, $3. Ex-
cessively warm weather the last few days
is causing bulbous stock to grow too
fast. Considerable funeral work is be-
ing done, which takes up all the sur-
plus stock.

The city of Dallas, having taken
charge of the County Fair which until
the past year has been run by private
parties at a considerable loss, was able
to clear a handsome profit. The city
is taking steps to improve the city with
a park system, and is in communication
with eastern landscape gardeners rela-
tive to the work, which will be started
as soon as possible.

Tt is understood that the Sherman
Nursery Co., owned by J. S. Xerr, of
Sherman, has been absorbed by the Texas
Nursery Co., of the same place, and will
be carried on by the last mentioned firm.
Mr. Kerr has become widely known and
will be missed greatly by his large circle
of customers, as it is expected ho will
have charge of the growing end «f the
business.

Mr. Fitzpa trick, of the Texas Nursery
Co., has some fine carnations at his place
and is finding a ready market at Dallas
for them. He reports a large business
duriog the holidays.

Miss Mangum, of Sherman, reports a
good trade during Christmas and a very

satisfactory amount of business since.
Miss Mangum has a small place but is
getting her share of the business.

The Dallas Floral Bazaar, of Dallas,
reports business as exceedingly good and
is buying large quantities of material.
The firm has not been in business long,
but is rapidly pushing to the front.

J. L. Downing, of Wichita Palls, a
prominent nurseryman of northern Texas,
was visiting among the florists, inspect-
ing construction, heating, etc., with the
intention of erecting some houses short-
ly. Mr. Downing reports a good demand
for flowers at his town and as stock
must be sent from other towns, he intends
to erect houses and supply the demand
himself. Narcissus.

WASHINGTON.

State of Business.

Business has been excellent during the
past week and there are good prospects
that the coming month will be a record
breaker, particularly in decorations.
American Beauty roses are still scarce
and the quality is poor. The situation
is relieved, however, by the fact, sur-
prising as it may seem, that there is no
great demand for them, a large majority
of hosts preferring tea roses and other
cheaper stocks in their decorations.

The scarcity of Bridesmaids continues
and several retailers have had trouble in
filling orders.

Carnations of the common sorts are
being sidetracked by tulips and daffodils
but there is still a good demand for the
fancies at $1 and $1.25 per dozen retail.
Violets are moving very freely but prices
are breaking. Cut Harrisii retail readily
at $3 and $4 per dozen. Daffodils are
more plentiful and retail at 75 cents and
$1 per dozen. Both this stock and tulips
are being largely used in table decora-
tions. Poinsettias, considering that most
of the stock is inferior, seii readily at
$3 per dozen. A good quality of sweet
peas may be had at 75 cents and $1
per bunch of twenty-five. Freesias and
aliums are in fair supply and quickly
taken. In pot stocks, lilac is more
plentiful and 8-inch pots have dropped
from $2 to $1.50. Good azaleas are
rather scarce, the successions being slow
in coming in.

With the possible exception of Paper
White narcissus, which is growing rather
stale, there is little surplus stock in
sight, though, with a week of fair
weather, carnations and violets are likely
to accumulate.

Various Notes.

There is considerable speculation with
reference to the probable decorations at
the White House for the wedding of
Miss Boosevelt and Congressman Long-
worth. It has been "authoritatively"
stated that they will be very simple, but
authoritative statements are not always
correct. For instance, a local authority on
society events recently stated that at a
White House reception there were pans
of "pink and white poinsettias."

Fred Michell has been in town and
modestly agrees that Philadelphia is
now about as good as it can be.

SOOTTY.

The Florists' Club of Washington, D.
C, will meet in the Scottish Bite Hall,
1007 G street, Northwest, February 6
at 8 p. m. There will be an exhibition
of carnations and other flowers from
out-of-town growers, as well as from
local men; also a lecture on the diseases
of the carnation by Prof. A. E. "J^oods,
Pathologist and Physiologist of the De-
partment of Agriculture. This will draw
a full attendance, as Prof. Woods is one
of the best posted men on the subject in
the country. Any one desiring to make
an exhibit at this meeting can do so by
sending same to the above address in
care of the Secretary, express charges
prepaid, and shipment timed to reach
Washington on the morning of Febru-
ary 6.

Wilton Junction, Ia. — E. Friederich-
sen & Sons report cut flower trade very
good, carnations being especially fine.
They grow vegetables quite extensively
and report lettuce and radishes as going
a little slow just now.

NovoHRAD, Tex. — J. E. Jasek reports
trade better than a year ago by fifty
per cent. He had chrysanthemums in
bloom outdoors January 18. Many
shrubs were in full bloom at the same
date. He is handling much nursery stock
for ornamental purposes.

TROUBLE WITH A BOSTON.

I am sending you a branch of a fern,
variety unknown. The plant is in an 8-
inch pot in the public library. It was
thrifty till last November when all old
wood was cut off. Since then the ends
of the leaves turn brown and drop off;
also the ends of the branches wither and
die. The plant more than fills the pot.
It was repotted in November. Can you
give a remedy! H. S.

The fern frond forwarded with this
query appears to be one from a Boston
fern, but the leaflets of the specimen
in question had almost all dropped off by
the time it. was received.

The cause of the difficulty no doubt
was the fact that the roots were dis-
turbed by repotting so late in the season.
Any plant that is to be placed in a
dwelling, or in a public hall, such as this,
should be well-established in the soil,
and would better be repotted not later
than August or September. The trouble
is quite likely to continue and may grow
worse if the plant remains in the library,
but it is quite probable that two months*
care in a greenhouse may re-establish it,
and bring forth a healthy growth.

Des Moines, Ia. — An incipient blaze
was discovered last week in George Pap-
pa 's store and extinguished by the flre

TWIN CITIES.

The Market

The demand for stock the past week
has exceeded the supply on a great many
varieties. Koses are scarce and prices
keep up nicely. Brides have been indeed
scarce; but bulb stock has helped out
wonderfully. There has been very little
doing in the social line and colored
stock has not sold any too well.

Tulips are selling for 75 cents a dozen
and, as we have had springlike weather
the last few days, large numbers of them
have been sold. Nearly all of the stores
have a number of azaleas on hand, but
they are slow sale.

Some very nice Beauties are coming
in daUy from outside points; in fact,
they are the best I have seen since
shortly before Christmas.

Minneapolis.
T called on John Monson, proprietor
of the Minneapolis Floral Co., and found
his stock all in good condition. He has
about 22,000 carnations growing and is
cutting large numbers of them daily.
Mr. Monson is a strong believer in grow-
ing his carnations in houses at about

65 degrees and, judging from the growth
made and the flowers cut, his practice is
a good one. Shortly after making a
cut he sinks the stems in water within
about five or six incbes of the bloom,
and the water, according to Mr. Monson,
stiffens up the stems and the carna-
tions keep fine. He says carnations
put in water and allowed to stand eight
or ten hours will keep longer than car-
nations grown in houses kept much
cooler. His theory is no doubt a profit-
able one as it gets the flowers in bloom
much quicker; consequently more can
be cut and sold.

His new rose, the Miss Kate Moulton,
is given good care and shows the effect
of it, as his stock looks fine. The foli-
age is a perfect green and the blooms
are as handsome a pink as one would
care to look at. The stems are strong
and as many as twenty-five blooms had
been cut off one plant. It is a fine
# shipper, but should be cut in the tight
bud and allowed to open in water. His
lilies are looking good, and probably a
week or so before Easter the houses of
lilies will be a mass of bloom.

Eetailers report a fair business the
past week, notwithstanding the fact that

the fine weather has brought a number
of Greeks on the streets, but the uncer-
tainty of the weather prevents them
from making any expensive arrange-
ments for a continuous steady supply.

StPaoL

Holm & Olson are kept busy and ex-
perience some diflSculty at times in get-
ting what they want in stock, especially
white.

A report that E. F. Lemke had experi-
enced some difficulty with his heating
plant lacked basis in fact. Some one
went so far as to say that his stock had
all been frozen.

Sunday morning business is good with
all dealers and a call will nearly always
find them busy.

A visitor the past week was B. Esch-
ner, of M. Rice & Co., Philadelphia.

Felix.

MoNTCLAm, N. J. — A defect in the
heating plant in Herbert Bradley's

age.

VISITED Chicago: — Chas. P. Braslan,
San Jose, Cal.

Holland bulb growers are experienc-
ing another undesirably mild winter.

There are a few of the catalogue seed
houses whose issues for 1906 have not yet
made an appearance.

Adam Currie, Jr., is on the road for
Currie Bros. Co., of Milwaukee, making
two trips a year to the Pacific coast.

W. W. Barnard, Chicago, has been
alarmingly ill with pneumonia the past
week, but on Tuesday was reported as
improving.

The weather has been the warmest
known in January for years. The mean
temperatures have been 10 degrees above
normal for the entire month.

Visited St. Paul. — H. A. Johns, of
the Sioux City Seed and Nursery Co.,
Sioux City, la., F. L. Hogue, wholesale
seed grower, Carpinteria, Cal.

The Montgomery Ward seed catalogue
is unique in shape and size. Half-tones
are used as illustrations, the subjects be-
ing well chosen and the work well ex-
ecuted.

The canners' convention, which meets
at Atlantic City within the month, is
looked forward to by the seed trade.
Pointers on peas and sweet corn for sow-
ing purposes usually develop when the
canners meet.

J. A, EOBINSON, of the Jerome B. Eice
Seed Co., Cambridge, N. Y., has spent
the month of January in the west and
says he booked orders to the amount of
over .$92,000. He says it promises to be
a banner year for his house. He finds all
in the trade anticipating a good spring
season.

The belated delivery from growers of
some of the early varieties of sweet com
is causing considerable annoyance in fill-
ing orders. It is suggested that the com
grower should arrange some sort of a
drying plant to get sweet corn in shape
quickly, instead of depending on the
weather to dry it out.

Returning from a short trip taken
to southern points, S. F. Leonard, Chi-
cago, reports the unseasonable weather
of January has thrown things off in a
measure and the seed dealers through-
out the section covered are wondering
where they are at. A good, stiff, cold
snap is needed to adjust things.

January shipments of onion sets are
reported to have gone out in good shape.
The weather throughout the month was
favorable for shipping. February busi-
ness, which is always the heaviest of car-
load lots, will settle the question of
where prices will land. Well posted
onion set dealers are not worrying.

Writing under date of January 23, C.
C. Morse & Co., San Francisco, say that
recent weather conditions in central Cali-
fornia have been very favorable indeed
for crops. There has been an abundance
of rain and the streams overflowed their

banks but they do not think any serious
damage resulted. Most of the planting
is done and the crops are beginning to
grow nicely.

"THE INSIDE WAYS.**

James B. Mann, candidate for re-
election as congressman from the second
district of Illinois, has favored his con-
stituents, including some of the staff of
the Eeview, with the following interest-
ing communication :

If you wish tbem, I can send you an assort-
ment of five kinds of flower seed, or five kinds
of vegetable garden seed. I get great pleasure
out of such things myself and hope that you do.
If you care for them, please let me know at onc0
which you wish, as I must send to the Agricul-
tural Department my final list of names within
a few days.

As your Congressman, I am here attending to
your interests. After an experience of nearly
nine years I am gradually learning the inside
ways of Congress and I hope am acquiring In-
fluence, 80 that I can help care for the many
interests of a great city like Chicago in the
various propositions for legislation which come
before Congress. It is often an aid to me to
know the positive views of my friends and coor-
stltuents and I shall at all times be glad to
bear from you on any public question.

DUTY ON VALLEY PIPS.

In 1895 F. E. McAllister imported at
New York a quantity of valley pips on
which duty was assessed under the pro-
vision in paragraph 234^/^, tariff act of
1894, for <*lily of the vaUey ♦ « •
and other plants for forcing." The im-
porter protested that they should be free
tmder paragraph 558, relating to crude
vegetable substances, or paragraph 611,
reUiting to roots not specially provided
for. On June 24, 1895, the Board of
General Appraisers overruled the protest
and McAllister appealed to the courts.
The U. S. circuit court for the southern
district of New York has just handed
down the following decision:

The articles in controversy are bunches of Illy
of the valley roots having several sprouts or
crowns thereon. The importer testifles that
they are thus imported for forcing, and that
he has never known of their being imported
with foliage. The collector classified them for
duty tinder paragraph 234i^ of the tariff act of
August 28, 1894. The provisions of said para-
graph are "orchids, lily of the valley, azaleas,
palms and other plants used for forcing under
glass for cut flowers, . . . ten per centum
ad valorem." The Importer protested, claiming
that the articles were free under paragraph 558
as "moss, seaweeds and vegetable substances,"
or ander paragraph 611 as "roots not specially
provided for." The Board of General Appraisers
overmled the protest and sustained the action
of the collector, and the Importer appeals.

These articles are not vegetable substances In
the class of moss and seaweeds under said para-
graph 668. It seems clear that while these
articles are not botanically and technically
plants, yet they are plants in the broadest
sense, with the operation resultant from plant-
ing already started. They would be popularly
considered aa plants and are Imported to be

Slanted. I think it is manifest that Congress,
1 view of these circumstances and in view of
the fact that they qre imported in this way
only, intended to use the word in Its broadest
sense and to assess them denominatlvely for
duty under paragraph 234% as lily of the val-
ley plants used for forcing under glass for cut
flowers, etc.

The decision of the Board of General Ap-
praisers affirming the classification of the col-
lector is therefore affirmed.

THE AMERICAN HOLLAND.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

Fkbbcaby 1, 1906.

The wealth of our moist atmosphere
must be felt to be appreciated. The
steam donkey engines are now just com-
ing into use for pulling stumps and logs
into piles to burn, and this clearing is
going on faster each year. The commer-
cial orchards of west Washington have
yet to be planted. Great opportunities
are offered for young men with pluck
and muscle to get started with a fine
young orchard.

Clearbrook, Wash. George Gibbs.

NOTES FROM ENGLAND.

It is probable that those nurseries
which look forward largely to bedding
stock to obtain them a little ready cash
and some quick trade in the spring of
each year, may be somewhat disap-
pointed in the coming spring. The trade
of 1905, for geraniums in particular,
was exceptionally good, and practically
all nurserymen cleaned out of all plants
that could by any possible means be used
for bedding purposes. The consequence
is, every one throughout the whole of
last summer propagated bedding stuff in
the way of geraniums for all they were
worth.

It was remarked by some growers that
the trade of 1906 would be even better
than 1905 on account of there not being
sufficient left for stock to make an over-
supply next spring, but the geranium
is a very prolific subject under proper
treatment; it is surprising what an im-
mense quantity of plants can be pro-
duced of the 3-inch pot size from a few
old stock plants. Propagating from
these can go on practically all the year
round.

It is probable that even if prices Mo
not fall during next spring many grow-
ers will not clear out nearly so easily
as they did last season. It is a great
fault of growers to always rush into a
thing because it has done well one season.
The result is, practically every grower
has a full supply; and a good season is
invariably followed by a more or less
bad one. Experience has shown that it
is often far more profitable to carefully
follow a bad season than to follow an
ei^ceptionally good one.

Those seed houses in England which
Ihandle seed potatoes, but more especially
the seed growers and wholesale mer-
chants in the big growing districts of
Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire and else-
where, will have almost as much cause
to remember the winter and spring of
1905-1906 as they have to remember the
winters and springs of 1903 to 1905; not
this time, however, because of high prices
for seed potatoes, but just the reverse;
prices for better class varieties and best
samples have hardly ever been so low.

Of course there is the usual trade
among the seed houses which have good
retail connections, but even this trade is
very slack.

The variety recently introduced from
America, Noroton Beauty, appears to
answer its description well as an early
and good cropping sort; it is probably as
good as any new English sort. It is
noteworthy that some sorts imported
from America many years ago still hold
their own and are as much sought after
as ever, notably the Early Bose and Early
Puritan, although there is some diversity
of opinion as to whether the latter va-
riety did originally come from America
or not. The writer has repeatedly heard
some English leading seedsmen assert it
came direct from America, and they say

NEW SWEET PEAS^

EVELYN BYATT

A GORGEOUS
NOVELTY

The most gorgeous colored Sweet Pea yet introduced. It may be termed a calf Oorgreoua,
having: a rich orange salmon standard, and falls or wings still a trifle deeper color, giving a
rich, fiery orange or deep sunset color to the whole flower, very striking and unique. It has
caused quite a sensation wherever shown during the past year.

Color a deep rosy carmine self, the same form as GLADYS UNWIN, with the prettily waved

is quite sunproof and perfectly flxed. The stems are long and stout, and it may be described
as A OIAVT IN EVBST WAT.

Each of above novelties, $14.60 per 100 packets;

GLADYS UNWIN

LAST YEAR'S
NOVELTY

c

This finest ot all Fink Sweet Peas we introdnoed last season. It Is a striking'

and sterling improvement, qnite flxed and distinct, and a

ffreat acquisition for Cut Blooms.

OliADTB UVWIB* has a very large and bold flower, not hooded, but with a very striking
upright crinkled or wavy standard, and broad wings. Color, a pale rosy pink A strik-
ing feature is that about 75 per cent of the long flower stems are with four Islooms, which
is a most unusual thing in Sweet Peas. It was first raised four years ago, viz., in 1901, and
has kept perfectly true and fixed in character each year since and we have no hesitation
in saying it is a bona-flde departure in pinks. For market growers especially it cannot be
surpassed, and is just the lovely pink color which is so much in demand. $4.60 per pound.

they can even refer to the importers,
and on the other hand, it is claimed to
have been raised by a leading midland
retail seed house in England. However,
it matters little, now, where it came
from, it is probably the best quality
early potato yet seen in England. If
American seedsmen could give us another
variety covering the same good quality
with improved cropping powers and a
more lasting constitution, they would in-
deed confer a lasting blessing on Eng-
lish potato growers and consumers.

CAPAQTY OF BOILER.

I am going to build two greenhouses
20x100, ten and one-half feet to the
ridge, and I -want to know about the
heating of them. I have a coil furnace
in an old house, but I don't know its
capacity. I have a lot of 4-inch cast-
iron pipes and wondered if I could use
them as flow pipes. I want to know
how I could use the boiler and what
capacity it would have to be to heat the
two houses. I want the temperature of
one of the houses to be 50 degrees and
the other 55 degrees or 60 degrees at
night. The thermometer rarely falls be-
low zero. The average is 40 to 45
degrees. Will you please tell me what I
can dot The pipe in the furnace is 1^4 -
inch or 1%-inch. C. F. R.

It is impossible for me to even guess
at the capacity of your present pipe
boiler, without an accurate description
of its construction, stating its dimen-
sions. The two houses you propose to
erect, if to be heated with hot water,
can be piped as follows: The house to
be run at 50 degrees should have a 2^^-
inch flow under the ridge, returning by
eight 2-inch returns, and the house to be
run at 55 degrees to 60 degrees should
have a 2l^-inch flow and ten 2-inch re-
turns. The boiler to heat these houses
should have a rated capacity for 2,000
square feet of radiation. L. C. C.

RATING FOR BOILER.

We have a Case ten horse-power boiler,
forty 2-inch flues. How many feet of
4-inch boiler flues will it carry for hot
watert Also how many feet of 1^-inch
pipe will it heat with steam, with the
necessary flows? C. H. H.

As the length of the tubes is not
given, I can only state an approximate
rating for the boiler under consideration.
The size and number of tubes stated
do not tally with the specifications of
any boiler now catalogued by the Case
Co. However, a boiler with forty 2-inch
tubes five and a half feet long, will con-
tain about 130 feet of heating surface,
which should be suflBcient to provide heat
for about 850 lineal feet of 4-inch pipe
or 2,400 lineal feet of l^-inch pipe
with low pressure steam. L, C. C.

The Market

Business shows no diminution the past
week and prices for good stock have
ruled high. The quality of stock being
offered is exceptionally good and the
warm, sunny weather of the past few
days has done much toward making the
supply of cut flowers more plentiful. Sev-
eral large decorations were put up, be-
ing pretty evenly distributed among the
different florists. The wholesalers have
also had their share of the business, hav-
ing had an unusual amount of shipping
business. The first daffodils of the sea-
son are now on the market, the W, H.
Humfeld Floral Co. sending in the first
ones. Funeral work has been plentiful.
This has been a very satisfactory week
in trade circles in this city.

WHEN THE

The Right Ribbons are such and will add

Manager Bastian, of Shaeffer's whole-
sale department, says his branch of the
business is increasing right along and
that they are gaining new customers
daily.

Mr. and Mrs. Kessel, of Muskogee,
I. T., were in town this week buying sup-
plies for their new flower store that they
will open in that city soon. Muskogee is
a booming town and Mr. Kessel says
there is a splendid opening for this busi-
ness.

W. J. Barnes has one of the neatest
places in the city. His roses are in good
shape and everything else on his place
looks well.

Theodore Kahma seems to be making
a specialty of bulb stuff just now and
the quality of the stock he is sending in

is certainly fine. He is growing some
high grade valley.

The women's auxiliary of the Manu-
facturers* Association held a meeting
Saturday afternoon to discuss the work
of the garden committee. A special ef-
fort will be made this spring to arouse
an interest in beautifying the yards of
the city. Arrangements were made to
have L. A. Goodman, secretary of the
State Horticultural Society, deliver a
lecture in the near future on the small
garden and the beautifying of yards. The
lecture will be illustrated and free to the
public.

BALTIMORE.

Business the past two weeks has been
more satisfactory all around. Boses and
carnations have been clearing up from
day to day. The rose market is' perhaps
in the best shape of any line, and the
stock is generally pretty well cleaned up
during the day; present prices are from
$6 to $10 a hundred. There are plenty
of all colored carnations, the supply
equal to demand and prices firm on all
good stock. Freesias are beginning to
arrive; the pure white find ready sale,
but the yellow tinted ones no one wants.
Callas, Paper White narcissi and Boman
hyacinths are over-plentiful and hard to
move at a decent price. "We have had
spring-like weather for the past couple
of weeks. A. F.

The State Horticultural Society
opened its convention as announced
January 25 and carried out the program
as stated in one of my last reports.
Major Behreman opened the ceremonies;
the attendance was small, though the
second day was better. The most prac-
tical and interesting paper was read by
A. N. Athen, on the culture of cucum-
bers under glass. This business pays
well in New Orleans; 60 degrees for
night temperature and 80 degrees in the
day time are required; bhght is the
only disease. Henry A. Athen has se-
cured 160 acres above Southport, where
every known equipment will be installed.
Capital is $30,000. The hothouses al-
ready built cost him $16,000. Truck
raising for some select vegetables is a
very profitable industry around New Or-
leans.

PACIFIC COAST.

ORNAMENTAL TREES.

It seems to be a recognized fact that
the acreage devoted by nurseries to the
growing of ornamental trees in Califor-
nia is by no means keeping pace either
with the increasing demand or the de-
struction of native growths. The con-
stant influx of settlers to our new coun-
try and the consequent devastation of
many thousands of acres of magnificent
oaks, redwoods and other magnificent
evergreens, will result in a few years in
a tremendous shortage of verdure, which
even at the present time is becoming
very noticeable to our eastern visitors.
With the increase of wealth and the de-
sire for handsome surroundings, and the
fact that we have so few nurseries of
size enough to cater to the demands sure
to be made, the outlook is not bright for
the beautification of our landscape and
it will be but a short time until there
is an entire absence of available stock.

It is indeed commendable that there
are in existence at present, and also in
the course of formation, many societies
throughout this coast for no other pur-

pose than to encourage the planting of
trees. These have been principally di*
rected toward the improvement of side-
walks and streets. That the newspapers
are taking a healthy interest is greatly
to the advantage of the state. Thus far,
it has been possible for the local dealers
to supply about all required for this sort
of work, but on the same lines other
committees are endeavoring to interest
their various localities in the laying-out
and planting of parks, as well as private
domains, and it should not be overlooked
by our local dealers that a great deal
of large, heavy ornamental stock will
certainly be required to plant them.

California is but a young state and
our citizens have not previously given
the subject of extensive improvements in

addition of judicious foliage. We have
heretofore planted flowering plants, roses
and small shrubbery almost exclusively,
and these are all steps in the right direc-
tion, but to make a lasting impression
both for our own benefit and for the
stranger within our gates, it behooves
every one with a love for the beautiful
to do his share to encourage the use of
lasting evergreens.

I have spoken on this subject, it will
be noticed, both from the standpoint of
a grower with goods for sale, and as
such see the pecuniary advantage of be-
ing able to share in the proceeds, and
also from a strong fondness for the
beautiful in nature, especially that por-
tion pertaining to a growing tree or
shrub, both of which are in order at this
time. G.

The Market.

The rainy weather of last week has
been succeeded by plenty of sunshine
and warmth and as a result flowers of
all kinds are somewhat earlier. Soses,
while scarce enough, are being brought
into town in larger quantities than at
any time since Christmas, and the pros-
pects are for continued good crops. Car-
nations are somewhat cheaper than they
have been and the quality throughout is
excellent. A few mums are still in the
ring, but they have ceased to cut any
figure. Narcissi and daffodils are sur-
prisingly scarce for some reason and
tulips are but little in evidence. Boman
hyacinths and freesias are becoming
more plentiful. Business is very fair,
especially in the line of funeral work.
Several large weddings are scheduled for
the next few weeks, so stock of certain
kinds will be in big demand.

Variota Notes.

The Alameda Improvement Club, of
Alameda, will' plant out several miles of
sycamore trees alternated with dracaenas
along the sidewalks within the next few
weelu.

Prof. Wickson, of Berkeley, is calling
the attention of the authorities to the
fact that there is great need for a for-
estry experimental station in California.

The Society Hortensia, of Oakland,
had its regular bi-monthly meeting on
Saturday evening of last week. Several
interesting papers were read.

Wm. Barry, of Niles, has published his
annual report as horticultural commis-
sioner of Alameda county. He calls at-
tention to the fact that the nursery and
florist trade is in a very flourishing con-
dition.

John H. Sievers & Co. are cutting an
extra large and fine crop of their new
carnation, Hannah Hobart, at present.

NURSERY NEWS.

AMERICAN ASSOCUTION OF NURSCRYMEN.

Pres., E. Albertson, Bridgeport, Ind.; Vlce-
Pres., Orlando Harrison, Berlin, Md. ; Sec'y, Geo.
0. Seacrer, Rochester; Treas., C. L. Yates, Roches-
ter. The Slst annual convention will be held at
Dallas, Texas, June, 1906.

EvKEGEEENS, by C. S. Harrison, York,
Neb., a companion to his Peony Manual,
has just been issued.

The spring season will see stiffening
prices on nearly, all lines of clean, well
grown nursery stock.

The business in peach trees in the fall
sekson of 1905 was the greatest of any
auramn season to date.

The discriminating planters are call-
ing for the newer sorts of lilac in con-
stantly greater number.

While stocks of Baby Eambler rose
are large, it is predicted that the supply
will be far short of the spring demand.

John M. Stevens is now proprietor
of the Palisades Nurseries, SparkhUl, N.
Y., transferred by F. H. Henry, receiver
for Clucas & Boddington Co.

The Department of Agriculture has is-
sued a pamphlet showing the organization
of the Forest Service, what it is and how
it deals with forest problems.

W. T. Mann, chairman of the commit-
tee on fruit statistics of the New York
State Horticultural Society, figures the
apple crop of the state in 1905 to have
been about 17,000,000 barrels.

L. L. May & Co., St. Paul, will in-
troduce this season a new Minnesota
seedling apple, Minnetonka, for which it
is claimed that it will restore the lost art
of apple-growing in that state.

In their local horticultural society in
Orleanjs county, New York, 100 men each
pledged themselves at one time to pay
any sum required, pro rata, up to $10
each to fight the San Jose scale. Their
motto is: "Better fight it out on the
other man 's place than ours. * '

W. L. Waddell, an agent for the
Henry Lake Sons Co., Black Eiver Falls,
Wis., has been arrested, charged with
forging orders for nursery stock and
securing the commissions on the sales.
He recently visited Madison, Janesville
and Beloit, Wis., and had just begun
work at Eockford, 111.

There was a meeting of the Texas
Nurserymen's Association January 25, at
Palestine, called by President E. W.
Kirkpatrick and Secretary John S. Kerr
for the purpose of preparing for the
entertainment of the American Associa-
tion of Nurserymen when it meets at
Dallas in June. As the State Horticul-
tural Society meets at the same place
the same day, there was a good attend-
ance. Texas proposes to do credit to
Stanley Watson and his persuasive ora-
tory.

MILLEPEDES.

I am sending you an insect and would
like to know what it is. I have had a
very fine crop of them. I have got them
killed and the ground was covered with
the dead by the million. They come out
of the ground in the night and work on
the foliage. E. H. G.

The insects in question are millepedes,
of which there seems to be an unusual
number this season, judging from the
number of inquiries that have been re-
ceived regarding them. The eggs of this
insect are buried under the surface of
the soil, and hatch out in a few weeks,
and it is at this stage that they have ap-
peared in such numbers. It is generally
considered by scientists that the mille-
pedes eat decayed vegetable matter chief-
ly, though we sometimes find them feed-
ing upon the young growths and roots
of certain plants. Strong nicotine vapor
will kill many of these insects after they
come to the surface of the ground.

WASHINGTON, D. C.

LACKS RADIATION.

I have a house 18x102, eleven and a
half feet to the ridge, 7-foot walls all
exposed. The main 3-inch flow from the
boiler to the house is twenty-five feet;
that is, I run the 3-inch main that far be-
fore I enter the house. I then run four
2-inch flows from the 3-inch main over-
head, and return in six 2-inch returns;
Eome are under the benches and some are
on the walls. The pipes are all both
flows and returns, equally divided in the
house. At the highest point, which is
at the end of the greenhouse, are put
■cocks or air valves on the four flows.
The pipes have a gradual incline toward
the farthest end and slope gradually back
to. the boiler. This is the open tank
system hot water. The tank is elevated
about six feet from the highest point of
the system to the bottom of tank; the
boiler is rated for 9,000 feet of glass,
with two 4-inch openings for flows and
two 4-inch openings for returns. The
other flow takes care of another house
18x102 and a lean-to 6x102, but does
not keep warm anything great.

What I want to know is this: In zero
weather I can only keep the temperature
up to 40 degrees or 43 degrees. I want
about 54 degrees. Have I enough main
flow or would a larger main be better!

F. W. H.

From what you state of the quantity
and arrangement of the piping in your
house, you lack radiation. The 3-inch
riser if not broken up into 2-inch sub-
divisions, should be large enough to sup-
ply the necessary radiation to maintain
the desired temperature in the house.
Your easiest plan would, in my judg-
ment, be to continue the 3-inch riser to
the most distant end of the house and
there break it up to return by twelve
2-inch returns. The riser is large enough
to supply this number of returns, which
will furnish sufficient radiation to main-
tain the desired temperature. The four
2-inch pipes now used as risers can be
dropped and used as returns. The addi-
tional pipe needed will be the 3-inch
riser the length of the house and two
additional runs of 2-inch the length of
the house. L. C. C.

flowers that cannot be equaled by any other variety. It opens quickly and does not burst the calyx.
It is perfectly healthy in every respect. The orders booked to date exceed the sales of any white variety
we have yet sent out, Place your order early. Price, $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per lOOO.
We have a large stock and cuttings are of the best grade.

ELMIRA,N.Y.

Propagation is in full swing at the
establishment of the United States Cut
Flower Co., and in spite of the gloomy
weather we have had for the past eight
weeks, stock is in good healthy condi-
tion. If E. G. Hill could see the Kich-
'mond rose, as grown under the super-
vision of Jas. J. Curran he would feel
satisfied.

Fred La France reports fairly good
business and notwithstanding the dark
days George Barker still wears his sunny
smile and is pushing things along right
merrily.

H. N. HoflFman is supplying his cus-
tomers with some fine carnations.

Altogether business looks rosy and the
growers are only waiting for Old Sol to
burn a hole through the clouds and get
into action again, when they will be
ready to meet all orders. J. E. S.

NEW CASTLE. IND.

The indications are that there will be
great activity in this city in the spring,
owing to the fact that three if not four
of the rose growing concerns will be
greatly enlarged. It is stated that the
Bentley-Coatsworth Co. and Weiland &
dinger will each erect three new rose
houses as soon as the weather will per-
mit. Will Dittman will also build addi-
tions, but how many no one can say at
the present time. It is also stated that
the South Park Floral Co. will add to
its large plant. This year has been quite
successful for all of the greenhouse men.

Very few people realize what the
greenhouses are to New Castle, many
thousands of dollars are invested and
many more thousands are paid out an-
nually to employees and the money so
expended, or a great portion of it at
least, is kept here at home.

NEW CARNATIONS

WINSOR, WHITE ENCHANTRESS
AND HELEN M. GOILD

One way to judg^e Carnations is to see them on the exhibition tables. A better
and more convincing^ way is to see them g^rowing^. There is nothings about any
of these varieties that we wish to conceal; therefore we cordially invite all
Carnation g>rowers to pay us a visit. Come at any time.

WINSOR — This is sure to Pfove a winner. Nothing approaches it in color, which is a dear silvery pink— a shade
between Enchantress and Mrs. Thos. w. Lawson— and much more beautiful than either. In fact it is just the shade that we have
all been trying to get. The color will make it sell in any market. The stem is just right. The flowers are considerably larger
than Lawson and much better shaped. As a grower it has everything that can be desired. So far we have not seen any large-
flowering variety quite so free as Winsor.

WHITE ENCHANTRESS — This is a pure white sport of Enchantress, which is at once the most popular and most
profitable carnation grown today, and this on account of its size and stem and freedom with which it blooms. White Enchantress
is identical in every respect but color. Those who desire quality as well as quantity will find it in White Enchantress.

HELEN M. GOULD— This is a beautiful variegated sport of Enchantress. The ground color is a lovely shade of clear
pinkt the variegation carmine, making an exquisite combination of colors, besides being something distinctly new. At a short
distance the variegation does not show at all, the general effect being a beautiful shade of dark pink. Growth, habit, size and stem
are the same as Enchantress.

We have fine stocks, from which we can deliver healthy cuttings of Variegated Lawson, White Lawson, Red
La^rson, Enchantress, Mrs. M. A. Patten, Lady Bountiful, etc.

Our Varieg^ated Lawson is all that we claimed for it last season and is giving the fullest satisfaction everywhere —
the best in the variegated class.

Come and inspect our stock of new and standard sorts for yourselves. Price list on application.

NY MARYLAND

AVHOnNCEKEHT

We, THE H. WEBER St SONS CO. of Oakland, Md.,

respectfully announce that The E. G. Hill Co. of Richmond, Ind., have
withdrawn from the contract made with us last spring, whereby they
would have jointly with us disseminated our new white carnation.
My Maryland.

The variety has been on trial at Richmond (3000 plants), Brooklyn
(300 plants), Philadelphia (1000 plants) and Toronto (1000 plants).
Reports from the first two named places characterize the variety as
being practically worthless, while from Toronto and Philadelphia favor-
able reports indicate that the variety is bearing out our claims for it.

Our own stock at Oakland is in elegant shape. An extremely wet

summer necessitated the holding of stock in a semi-dormant condition
after being housed, August 15 to September 1, thus making stock
too late for the fall shows. Since December Ist we have been cutting
grand blooms, and to prove our claims for the variety, we invite all
interested to come to Oakland and look it over.

While it is a source of regret to us that the variety has not proved
satisfactory in all places tried, we are satisfied that it will prove our
claims for it in at least some places besides our own.

We therefore announce that we will disseminate My Maryland as
per our advertisements, but before shipping any stock we give to each
and every one the right to cancel all or any portion of their orders.

JESSICA,

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

February 1, 1906.

QNONNATL

The Market

The past week has not been the best
in the world from the florists' point of
view. Things seemed to drag a good
deal and there was no life in the market.
The demand was slack for all kinds of
stock. There did not appear to be any
special reason why it should be so, but
every one was affected alike. The weather
had something to do with it, I believe,
as we have been having a spell of such
as seldom comes at this time of year.
It is now some colder than it was last
week, still, it is far from what one is
used to expect at this season of the year.
This weather is making itself felt in
the quality of stock; a good part of it
is now sort and weak stemmed and con-
sequently the price suffers.

There is an increase in the quantity of
stock coming in. Carnations are coming
in much heavier supply. Roses, also, are
easily equal to the demand. Beauties are
not in such good demand at times and,
though there is not such a large supply
of them, there is enough for all purposes.
Short ones are going best. Violets are
not doing so very well. Single ones are
going for the best price. Bulbous stock
of all kinds is now to be had. Dutch
hyacinths made their first appearance
this week and sold very well. Harrisii
lilies have been moving slowly. Narcissi
were in heavy supply and sold fairly
well. Tulips moved nicely. Green goods
are in good supply with but a moderate
call.

Various Notes.

A week from Saturday our annual
rose show will be held, and from pres-
ent indications it will be a very good
one. We are especially anxious that
growers who have anything new send
exhibits at this time. There will be
many growers present.

Dick Witterstaetter was the only rep-
resentative from this city at the carna-
tion show and it is with considerable
regret that we learn his stock did
not arrive in shape to stage. Dick cer-
tainly suffered a great disappointment
in this. He has not returned as yet and
we have not heard the story from him,
but thirty-six hours is too long to ship
blooms for any purpose and it would
have been a lucky thing for him if they
had arrived in good shape.

George & Allan have had some trouble
with their heating plant and had it not
been for the mUd weather the conse-
quences might have been very bad; as
it was, no serious damage was done.

Harry Bunyard, of A. T. Boddington,

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

Fbbbuaby 1, 1906.

NEWTON HIGHLANDS, MASS.

I have a place consisting of only two
houses. One house is for carnations and
measures 23x90 feet. It holds 2,000
plants, which are of extra fine quality.
In regard to the famous Lawson, I have
heard many times that it has fallen
back; that it is losing its vitality. I
think it is better with me this year than
ever. The color is excellent and its
flowering is as free as a weed since the
first of September. I think most people
root their cuttings in too warm a place.
I root mine in the violet house, where
the temperature is oftener 40 degrees
than it is 50 degrees, no bottom heat
whatever. I give them all the time they
want, about two months, and I get about
eighty per cent. They do not string
out again tender and soft plants. When
I box them I put them out in frames as
early as possible, as it hardens them off
before setting out in the ground. They
make excellent plants during the summer.

I also grow the following well known
varieties: Fair Maid, Enchantress, Bos-
ton Market and The Queen. I think the
latter is a fine plant. I have also a few
seedlings which promise well.

In regard to violets, I grow Campbell
and Princess of Wales. I also take an
early crop of chrysanthemums out of
this house before I put in violets.

Business has been very good this sea-
son. P. J. Melia.

NEW BEDFORD. MASS.

The following attended the annual
show in Boston : S. S. Peckham and wife ;
E. H. Woodhouse ; Peter Murray, of Fair-
haven, and August Jahn, who is exhibit-
ing his new white carnation. It is an
exceedingly large flower. He has been
experimenting with it and says he has it
at perfection.

Business is dull and flowers are plenti-
ful. F. C. C.

daily has interviewed all the local green-

DETROIT.

The Market.

The transaction of business here was
much larger during the past week than
probably any since the holidays, the de-
mand seeming to be for almost every-
thing. Carnations and roses were very
scarce, which of course kept the prices
high. Even violets kept out of sight
toward the end of the week, and their
demand caused some anxiety. Medium
Beauties were very prominent; the cause,
in general, being the exercises at the
many schools, but that they were avail-
able was a point to the good. Red roses
sold lively also for that purpose.

Much design work was in evidence dur-
ing the past week, which helped to swell
the business, and also afforded an outlet
for much of the bulbous stock, together
with azaleas. The market was kept busy
supplying the demand for the calla lily,
the past week showing a marked im-
provement in its use. Dutch hyacinths
and tulips of the different colors have
made their appearance, and a large num-
ber are being sold. Their use in the
flat bouquet is popular.

The daffodil. Yellow Spur, came in for
much appreciation, its color and size tak-
ing well with the people. Orchids were
also used to some extent, but their supply
was limited.

This week started off well and the out-
look is good.*^ Carnations were more
plentiful Monday, but perhaps its
being McKinley day was the reason.
That day seemed a failure here with the
displaying point in view, and carnations
were not as popular as the president was
on election day.

Various Notes.

Last week Boston was the center of
attraction. B. Schroeter sent a number
of his rose-pink Enchantress, only a few
being available on account of the un-
favorable weather conditions.

With the holiday business ^till fresh
in our minds, we find in most every
day's mail, cards announcing the com-
ing of traveling salesmen, which means
get ready for more holidays.

C. B. Knickmann^ traveling for Mc-
Hutchinson & Co., of New York, spent
several days in Detroit.

John Van Leeuven, representing J.
Van Leeuven & Son, and Mr. Beerhorst,
of Beerhorst & Son, both of Sassenheim,
Holland, reached Detroit last week and
brought news of much business through-
out the States.

DENVER.
The Market.

The continued mild weather has af-
fected the retail trade in general, but
the flower business keeps on about the
sjtme, although the past week was not
up to the preceding one. Grand opera
was the charm that lured society from
the drawing rooms this week and many
guests from out of town were enter-
tained at Denver homes and there were
many dinners for these guests, all of
which used flowers, more or less.

Eoses have continued to hold their own
pretty well, for the cut of these is not
the heaviest. Some of the largest grow-
ers have their Beauties off crop and the
quantity of select stock coming in is
much smaller. A few select reach $50,
a more popular grade going at $35.
Brides and Maids have made $8 to $10
for good stock, but there are rather too
many second and third grades coming in.

There is not much change in prices of
carnations, about $3 to $4 being as much
as select stock has brought, a few fancies
selling higher.

There are plenty to go around but
there is much poor grade stock, one store
selling at retail last Saturday at 35
cents a dozen. Violets are coming in
much more abundantly, and have taken
a slump in prices, the best making 75
cents per hundred and ordinary, 50 cents
a hundred. Tulips are arriving in a
greater variety, some colored ones ap-
pearing, and good prices are realized for
them. Some fine plants are seen at the
different shops; viz., azaleas, begonias,
etc.

Various Notes.

The Alpha Floral Co. is in its new
store, with a new coat of paint inside
and out, new ice box and more floor
room, as well as basement. They are
in much better shape to attend to their
customers' wants.

There are three holidays or anniver-
saries next month, Lincoln's birthday,
"St, Valentine's day and Washington's
birthday, all three of which are observed,
more or less, here, St. Valentine's day,
especially, calling for a large number of
violets. Mr. Peterson and Mr. Dank-
worth are cutting some extra select ones
now and say they will have a fine lot
for February 14.

J. A. Valentine is still in the east,
having been in attendance at the Ameri-
can Carnation Society at Boston, reading
a paper on the carnation in the Rocky
Mountains. He is expected back the
coming week. E. S. K.

of the same, must be possessed with good judgment and are generally suc-

wooden gutters, which were only 5 years old, and replaced the same with 6ocx) feet of
the GARLAND IRON GUTTER, this being his fifth annual order.

The Weekly Florists' Review.

Fbbruabt 1, 1006.

ABOUT THIS IRON

That goes into the castings of the B.-H.-P. Co/s houses

Now there is just as much difference in iron as there is in anything else — especially
a difference in price — some iron has greater bearing strength, stands sudden changes of
temperature, with less cracking liability.

Then there is the question of SCRAP for castings : Now iron is at its best in its
first casting, when' all the parts unite freely, evenly and with their greatest strength.
Put that casting to certain strains and just that much strength is taken from it. Melt-
ing it up and re-casting cannot give it back that strength, neither will that casting be
as fine in its granulations*

The finer the granulations are, the stronger the iron, the less the action of rust
upon it*

Every iron part, from the foot piece up, that goes into our houses is high-class*

This is a good starting point to think over about our houses -you knew there was
a difference in Cypress but you never thought the difference in iron made any differ-
ence— but it does*

Next week we sh^U talk over with you the matter of cast-
iron loot pieces— the holding parta of our houses.

RED SPORT

WHAT THE GROWER SAYS ABOUT IT

Kennet Square, Pa., Jan. 5, 1906.
Messrs. A. B. Davis & Son, Purcellville, Va.

Gentlemen: — Replying to yours of the 4th inst. will say, we consider Red Sport by far the best
red we are growing. Have not had a bursted flower yet, notwithstanding plants have been blooming
since November 15. The stem and color are fine and it is wonderfully productive.

Very truly, Wm. Swayne.

The Geranium.

We often get inquiries about the com-
mon, ever-popular zonal geranium and
will repeat our treatment at this time
of the year. They were shifted from
2-inch to 3-inch pots early in January,
or as soon as the rush and clean-up after
the holidays were over. By this time
they have drawn up and are sufficiently
grown that most of them will give a
cutting. Pass them over the bench care-
fully and those with four or five joints
will afford a cutting, but never cripple
or injure the plant for the sake of pro-
ducing another. If the little plant will
be left with only one pair of leaves, and
perhaps not more than an inch of stem,
do not attempt to take a cutting. Only
pinch out the slightest part of the leader
to induce a lateral growth.

We always propagate several thou-
sands from these fall struck plants and
have many times found at the bedding
time they were small and stunted, but
always in flower and in that condition
would make good bedding plants, but not
large enough to satisfy our customers,
who have little knowledge of a plant's
future and only judge by present ap-
pearances.

The cause of this failure was that
when these small plants were well rooted
in the 2-inch pots, we had, with the
pressure of work, neglected to shift them
into their flowering pots, with us a 3%-
inch. This was a great mistake. The
roots had become crowded; nothing more
to feed on, and were no longer working.
Six weeks after putting these cuttings
into 2-inch pots they will have sent out
active working roots, and then is the
time to shift them into their flowering
pots, and they will make almost as good
plants as those propagated in Septem-
ber or October.

The cultural directions are brief. Use
a heavy loam with a fourth of sifted
manure. Make the soil solid arouna the
base of the cuttings and place them on
the lightest bench. After the first thor-
ough watering only water when they
are decidedly on the dry side.

Narcissus Golden Spur.

We have discovered, more by accident
than design, that the grand narcissus.
Golden Spur, can be forced easily to be
in flower by January 15 and perhaps,
with a little greater effort, several days
earlier. We force Trumpet Major and
it is not easy to get flowers before
February 1. Golden Spur is much easier,
more attractive in color and far more
beautiful in every way. This may be no
news to the old heads, but it was to us.
See that yoi; get a liberal quantity of it.

Azalea Hexe.

In ordering your azaleas from the Bel-
gian or domestic gentlemen see that they
give you some Hexe for Christmas forc-
ing. This is altogether the most desir-
able Christmas variety. Its color is bril-
liant, it does not drop its flowers, is of
compact habit and forces without great

heat. Demand that your order shall be
ten per cent Hexe.

Forcing Valley,

The same old scribe that is now scrib-
bling has often written his opinion on
how to make a bed for forcing lily of the
valley, and we are absolutely certain we
know how. A younger generation did
not want to go to so much trouble and
pursued a different plan with such great
success that I feel it my duty to com-
ment upou it. Bemember ^hat I fully
realize that wkere a' large number of
this sweet flower is forced the method
I am about to describe would be fussy
and laborious, but there are thousands
of florists who force only a few thou-
sands, and to have a few all the time
is more profitable than to have a thou-
sand today and none next Saturday.

Put twenty-five roots into an 8-inch
azalea pot, or half pot, as it is some-
times called. Use ordinary potting soil
or loam in preference to sand, because
it does not dry out as quickly. Do not
cut anytliing off the roots. Manage to
get them all into the soil Place the pots
on the top of the hot-water pipes, but
raised above the pipes by two thin strips
of wood. Keep moist and if too much
light penetrates below the benches hang
curtains on the edge of the bench. By
this method we have raised for the past
four weeks the finest of spikes of valley
and it is suited to a small grower who
has not the facilities for making a spe-
cial bed. When fully developed you can
bring the pots up to full light, which will
give color to the foliage and harden the
flowers.

Gas and Red Spider.

I notice some one has been grumbling
that hydrocyanic acid gas does not kill
red spider. Of course! No one should
expect it to. The red spider has a pro-
boscis, or nose, which it has the faculty

of burying deep in the tissues of the
plant it infects and is oblivious to the
fumes of the acid.

Years ago this gas killed C. W.
Ward's cat, that was snoozing under a
greenhouse bench, and the odor lingered
long. Mr. C. W. thought it was the
odor of the gas, when it was really only
the Thomas.

Anything that breathes the gas dies
quicker than a jiffy, but it is useless
against the things that don't breathe it.

William Scott.

SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS.

Executive Conunittee Meeting.

There was a meeting of many of the
officers and directors of the Society of
American Florists at Boston, January 25.
An informal discussion was had as to
the plans for the advancement of the
society's interests during the present
year. It was determined that March 5
would be the most convenient date for
the annual meeting of the board of direc-
tors, to be held this year at Dayton. A
call to that effect will doubtless be is-
sued in due season.

PANSIES AND PORGET-ME-NOTS.

When would be the be^t time to take
up pansies and forget-me-nots to have
them in flower for Easter? Would 50
degrees temperature at night be all
right? P. E. V.

You can lift pansies from the bed any
time now when the ground is thawed.
Pansies are often very disappointing in
the winter months. Plant them on a bed
near the glass; or, in other words, where
they can get the most perfect light and
every ray of sunshine. If too cool they
will not flower enough to pay for the
trouble. Fifty degrees at night is about
right. If you have not a bed or bench
suitable, then put them in 5-inch pots
and place the pots on a hanging shelf
near the glass, where we have seldom
seen them fail to flower.

We have no experience in lifting for-
get-me-nots and would scarcely think it
worth while to lift the little common
species that flowers so profusely outdoors
in May, as you would only get one burst
of bloom and that not very desirable.
There is a species of myosotis which we

grew for many years and have dropped
simply through neglect or indifference.
We planted it in the fall on the edge
of carnation beds. It flowered through-
out the winter and with great profusion
in April and May. Its specific name is
unknown to us. Wo will have to ascer-
tain and then write more about, for it is
valuable. W. S.

TO EXTERMINATE VHITE FLY.

Can you give us the formula for using
the fumigation to exterminate the white
fly? W. T. B.

It seems to be pretty well determined
that the only antidote or destroyer for

this little pest is hydrocyanic acid gaa.
The best formula we have found for this,
and which is a modification of several
we have heard of, is: One pint water,
one pint sulphuric acid, two and one-
half ounces of cyanide of potassium.
This is for 1,000 cubic feet of atmos-
I^here in your greenhouse, and keep your
ventilators closed all night.

The pint of sulphuric acid should not
be equal in bulk to a pint of water, but
only equal in weight to a pint of water,
because the acid is much heavier than
water. This is easily done by two cups
or cans of equal weight and a pair of
scales. The above will destroy the fly
and hurt nothing that does not breathe.

BASKET ARRANGEMENT.

The everlasting fitness of certain flow-
ers to certain styles and sizeS' of baskets
is not always considered suflSciently in
the selection of the ' * make-up " of a
basket. Upon deciding as to the kind
and color of flower or flowers to be used,
the next question is to select the basket
best adapted to display the stock. Time
was when short and long stemmed flowers
all looked the same to the designer; but
it is happily no longer the case. If pos-
sible use the flowers as they are; if
long, find a basket suitable for them,
rather than denude them of foliage and
stem. To avoid loading the handle, se-
lect a basket which has plenty of room,
and start a generous cluster at the base
of one side of the handle. Let it taper
one-half or two-thirds of the way around
the handle, falling toward the other
base. In a simple cluster like this all the
flowers should take the same direction, or
in other words, be headed the same way.
Or have two clusters, one starting at
either side of the handle, and reaching
toward each other, but not touching, at
their tips.

If two styles of flowers are to be used,
fill the body of the basket with the low
growing flower, and use the longer all on
the handle, potted or cut ferns alone
filling the basket itself and a graceful
spray of flowers over the handle is a
good basket design.

Basket Selected First.

Sometimes, the basket is selected first,
and one is confronted with the question,
what flowers would be best to fill the
basket? The color, shape and make-up
of the basket must be sized up at a
glance; also the available stock and ac-
cessories. Suppose it is a low basket with-
out a base or handles. American Beauties
in such a receptacle would induce a most
uneasy feeling in a spectator, simply be-
cause their weight of stem and foliage
would overtop the base — while the same
basket filled with Roman hyacinths, vio-
lets or pansies might be a delight to look
upon. Don't attempt to trim a handle
basket with such flowers as violets, pan-
sies, valley or such small stock in any
other style than a knot or short clusters.

Do not attempt a trailing spray as with
roses.

Beware of many kinds of flowers and
foliage. By ' ' many ' ' is meant more
than two kinds. To be perfectly safe, if
not sure of even the two color combina-
tion, use one color alone. It is absolutely
necessary to have a knowledge of color,
and the best way to obtain the same is
to take a short course in painting and
color blending; no amount of instruction
in type can give one a definite concep-
tion of coloring.

Qaxt in Color Mixtures.

Be careful, not only of color mixtures
in the flowers, but in the green also.
Roses require very little extra foliage;
if a light touch is needed use that green
which harmonizes best with the foliage
of the rose; for instance, for American
Beauties, select the dark green of As-
paragus plumosus or a well developed
dark adiantum like Croweanum. Avoid
Asparagus Sprengeri and Adiantum Far-
leyense as being too yellow. Use the
latter freely with Ivory, Golden Gate,
Bridesmaid or Killarney. With violets,
use the dark olive or myrtle greens. Do
not use smilax and asparagus together
if it can be avoided. Simplify the color

plan by employing not more than one ad-
ditional green with the foliage belonging
to the flower.

As to size of basket with regard to
the quantity of flowers, have a smaller
basket full and running over rather than
a large one scantily filled. One of the
charms of a well arranged basket is the
impression of a superabundance of
flowers.

Suppose two very different kinds of
flowers are to be used, taking an ex-
treme case for example: American Beau-
ties and pansies mi^t illustrate the
point. Select a shallow, low basket. Fill
in the body of the basket with the pan-
sies stemmed long with their own foliage.
Tie a moderate size cluster of the
roses in the handle, allowing one or two
to fall downward and rest on the pansy
patch beneath. It wquld be easy to make
snckiia cluster too htWiH'y in such a case.
From this illustration gather that the
proper relationship of flowers and foliage
of different habits of growth should be
given a position in accord with the same
inclinations.

Treatment of Handles.

In the treatment of handles, there
is a great diversity of styles. A large
simple cluster, two opposite clusters, a
garland running its whole length, a
bow of ribbons into which are tied two
or three choice flowers, a green spray
only, a close wrapping of silk or ribbon,
a drapery of chiffon and slender green
sprays, are only a beginning of the
many attractive ways of garnishing bas-
ket handles. Possibly the one thing to
avoid most of all, is the heavy appear-
ance caused by the use of too much ma-
terial.

To recapitulate the whole subject, do
not attempt Chinese puzzle effects in
color. Never plant a celery bed in
your basket, but be content if you can
trace a resemblance between your finished
product and a good full hill of potatoes
with some straggling weeds not forgotten.

A LANSING STORE.

A new flower store was recently
opened at 333 North Washington avenue
under the name of the Lansing Floral
Co. While not finished in marble and
mahogany, it is nevertheless tastily fitted
up and bears evidence of good judgment
and up-to-date methods.

The show window is fitted up after
the style of Cleveland stores, although

the fret work is an original pattern.
The walls of the store are finished in
dark green with drop ceiling of a yellow
pattern, while the woodwork, counters,
ice box and other furniture are finished
in white. Electric lights fitted in a
white moulding on the side walls eight
feet from the floor on the line where
the green and yellow meet, distribute
the light quite evenly and produce a very
pretty effect at night. The ice box set
in white lattice-work in the center of the
store has a double oval glass in the
front and when lighted up inside, the
contents are visible from the street. To
the left of it is a cozy office, while to
the right is a neat work room, each
being separated from the store room by
red draperies.

It was my pleasure to be present on
the evening of the opening, wliicli was a
great success. The attendance was large,
as the public had been invited through
the city papers. Visitors were presented
with a rose and souvenir card, and an
orchestra sent forth sweet music from
behind a screen of southern smilax.

The show window was very attractive,
being trimmed with pink and white
mums, streamers and bows of ribbon to
match and Boston ferns. A standing
sheaf of wheat filled with Chatenay
roses was a feature of the display. The
side walls of the store were decorated
with garlands of green and southern
smilax to which were fastened artificial
white and yellow mums. Southern
smilax and red roses adorned the white
lattice-work over the ice ]x)x. Banks of
palms and ferns, tall vases of mums and
other cut flowers, also several floral
pieces, were arranged about the room
and made a pretty background. Among
the pieces Avas a large floral horseshoe
from Cleveland friends.

The Lansing Floral Co. is composed of

young men, with Wm. R. Degner, of
Cleveland, as manager. The store is not
only a credit to this young, enterprising
firm but to Lansing as well. Upon being
told that the store was a bare room with-
out any fixtures at the time possession
was taken and that it was fitted up in
the short space of two weeks, the trans-
formation seemed almost incredible.

A McKINLEY WINDOW.

The accompanying illustration is from
a photograph taken January 29 at the
Main street establishment of W. J. Pal-
mer, Buffalo, N. Y. It is remarkable,
not only from the fact that it shows a
very elaborate and effective decoration,
but al«o from the fact that the photo-
graph is taken through the plate-glass
window and shows the decoration in ex-
ceptionally good style. Such a photograph
taken through glass usually shows more
reflection of the buildings on the opj^o-
site side of the street than it docs of
the display within the AvindoAv.

Buffalo is one of the cities in which
McKinley day has been of increasing
importance ever since it became an in-
stitution. Buffalo is the city in which
McKinley met his death and her citizens
have done possibly more than those of
any other community save Canton, O., in
remembrance of him upon his birthday.
Such decorations as this of ]Mr. Palmer's
cannot fail to impress the public and,
for his own part. Mr. Palmer finds such
a decoration amply paid for, not only
by the comment it creates, but by the
direct business which it brings.

TIME TO SOW ALYSSUM.

T would like to know if this is the
right time to sow sweet alyssum. verbena
and phlox as this is my first season in

growing plants. I have always bought
them wholesale. I would like to have
the above plants in bloom by the middle
of May. Please state the usual way of
planting and bringing those plants to
perfection. D. P. C.

Sweet alyssum is not an annual and
the seed will only produce the single
form. The little, single, dwarf variety
is always raised from the seed, but the
most useful of all the alyssums is the
double variety. It is good for baskets^
vases and veranda boxes. It is largely
grown in Avinter for cutting and is very
useful in designs. It is ahvays prop-
agated by cuttings. Verbenas you can
sow now or very shortly.

As to the other plant mentioned, we
think Phlox Drununondii is meant, the
shoAvy and lasting annual. Sow phlox
from March 1 to March 15. W. S.

SOWING CYCLAMEN.

Is it yet time to soav cyclamen seed
so as to have them in bloom in 4-inch
pots by Christmas, 1906? If not, tell
me the right time to soav.

Also tell me the time to soav Primula
olH'onica so as to have them for th^
fall Aviiolesale trade. S. A. P.

It is late for cyclamens. The best
time to sow is from October 1 until
January 1. C^ydamcns are very sIoav
tiio first fvw inontiis of their growth.
Still, you might soav at once and haA-e
tlicni in bloom a year from noAV. Our
cyclamens are noAv in flats Avith a pair of
leaAcs as largo as silver quarters and
bulbs the size of large peas.

Primula obconica, if you want well
floAvered plants in Xovember, should be
sown in .\pril or, at least, earlv May.

BASKET ARRANGEMENT.

Vr»i''W>»%*-^'fef»>^**-»

The everlasting fitness of certain tlow -
ers to certain styles and siy,(>s of haskt'ts
is not always considered sutlicieiitly in
t!ie selection of the ''make-up'' of a
basket. rpoii deciding as to tiie kind
and ciiloi of tlower or Mowers to be used,
the next (|uestioii is to select the basket
best ad.-ipted to display the stock. Time
was when short and long steiiimed flowers
all looked the same to tiie designer; but
it is luqipily no longer the case. If jios-
sibie use the tlower*'; as they are; if
long, find a iiasket suitalile t'or them,
rather tli.'in ileiiuile them ot' foliage and
><tem. To ,'i\iiid loading tlie liandle. se
lect a basket which has plenty of room,

of one side ot! the liandle. I.et it taper

Do not attempt a trtiiling spray as with
roses.

Beware of many kinds of flowers and
foliage. Hy ''many'' is meant more
than two kinds. To be j)erfeetly safe, if
not sure of even the two i-olor combina-
tion, use one color alone. It is absolutely
necessaiy to haxc a knowledge of color,
and the best w;iy to obtain the same is
to take :i short courst; in painting ;uid
color blending; no annnint of instruction
in type can give om^ a definite concep-
tion of coloring.

Care in Color Mixtures.

lie careful, not only of color mixtures
in the tloweis. but in the gr<>en also,
b'oses I'eijiiire Very little e.xtra foliage;
if a light toucli is needed use that green
which harmoni/es best with the foliage
ot' the rose; for instance, for American
I'.eaiities, select the dark green of As-
jiaiagns pliiniosns or a well dexeloped
dark adiantuni like i rowejinuai. .\\oid
Asparagus Spi'engei'i and Adiantum Kar-
le\eiise as being too yellow. I'se the
latter t'reely with l\oiy. (ioldeii (late,
Itridesmaid or Ixillarney. With \iolets,
use llle dark olixc or myrtle gr<'eiis. Do
not use s'nilax am! asparagus toilet her
if it can be avoided. Simplify the cidor

jilaii by employing not nM)re than one ad
ditional green with the foliage belonging
to the tlowt'i'.

As to size of basket with regard i
the (pi;intity of flowers, have a smalh i
basket full and j'unning over rather tlni'
a large one .sciintily filled. One of Ui
charms of a well arrang(>il basket is tli.
impression of a stipei'abundance m
flowers.

Supjxise two \erv different kin«^ls oi
flowers are to be used, tiiking an ex
treme ease for exami)le: American Bean
ties and jtansies might illustrate tin
])oint. Select ii slmllow, low basket. Fib
in the body of the basket with the ]iaii
sies stemmed long with their own foliage
Tie a moderate size (duster of tin-
roses in the liandle, allowing one or two
to f.iU downwind and rest on the pansv
jiatch l)eneath. It Avould be easy to make
such a (duster too heavy in such a ease
From this illustration gather that tin
))roper relationship of flowers and foliage
of different habits of growth should be
given a position in accord with the sann
inclinations.

Treatment of Handles.

In the treatment of handles, theie
is a gre.'it diversity of styles. A large
simple (duster, two opjnisite clusters, a
garland running its whole length, ,i
bow of ribbons into which are tied two
or three choice flowers, a green spray

CARRYING BEAUTIES OVER.

We have a house of American Beau-
ties planted last August, blooming now
and in good condition. We wish to carry
these over for another season. When
should they be rested, and for how long,
to bring them in bloom again sometime
between next Thanksgiving day and
Christmas? Should they be pruned close
to the ground? Ought they to be oc-
casionaBlr syringed while thqjj^are rest-
ing? t would like to have full descrip-
tion of the treatment they ought to have
from the time we commence to rest
tuem. A. J. N.

While not advocating the carrying of
Beauties for a second season, I have yet
seen some fair results from the practice.
The method adopted in these cases by
reference to records was as follows.

By the beginning of June iney should
i.e partially rested by withholding water
for a week or so where raised benches
are in use and for a longer period if the
benches are solid, using just as much
water as is necessary to hold spider in
check, but never allowing them to become
80 dry that the soft tips of the young
wood shows wilting. During this ripen-
ing process they must nave an abundance
of air, keeping the ventilators open
night and day. A judicious pruning out
of all useless wood, especially of long
wood running blind, in order to divert
the flow of sap to those eyes at the base
of the plant which may have remained
dormant, is advisable.

The surface of the soil, or as much
of it as can be removed without interfer-
ing with the roots, should be taken off
and the exposed portions given a dusting
of air-slaked lime. To replace this soil,
a compost of rich loam three parts to
one of decomposed cow manure, thor-
oughly incorporated, should be used, and
the whole bed should be thoroughly
soaked. Keep the house as near 56 de-
grees as the weather will permit and
use the syringe freely. As soon as root
action has commenced, the ordinary
treatment for Beauties will suflSce.

ROSE BETTY.

One of last year's introductions in
England was the hybrid tea rose Betty.
Of this the Gardeners' Chronicle says
it is "a rose of great merit, especially
remarkable for its great depth and stout-
ness of petal; semi-double; the first
probably of a new type. The flowers
are borne on long-jointed wood, and

j»

stand erect. It is primarily a decorative
rose, but, like Killarney, we may hope
to. see a blooni sufficiently full to war-

'T^he grow% IS vigjOrous, -iimh bflincihing
habit, very free flowering. One can
hardly venture to describe its color, it is
so variable. One bud will remind one
of a deep-petalled Saf rano, while an-
other will be more golden and less cop-
pery. There is a great deal of tea in
its constitution. As a long-stalked rose
for house-decoration Betty is . decidedly
good."

BEST RED ROSE.

Of Liberty and Meteor, which is the
better and freer bloomer? At what
temperature should they be kept?
Should they be ventilated the same as
Brides, Maids and Gates? W. K. H.

Meteor is the most free blooming, but
to do this rose well it requires a night
temperature of 68 degrees and conse-
quently should have a house devoted
wholly to it. The high temperature re-
quired will of course make it a little
more expensive to grow and will also de-
mand greater care in keeping down such
insects as red spider, green-fly, etc.

Liberty is a very fine rose and when
properly handled is hard to beat, but
evon in the hands of experts it has

proved so erratic that it has in many
places been discarded.

Richmond, which gives fair promise of
superseding all other reds, is a very easy
doer, free bloomer and thrives well in
the same temperature as Maids and
Brides. It also seems to be less sus-
ceptible to fungoid troubles, can stand
more feeding, 'and is less sensitive to
under or overwatering than either Maids
or JBrides. Ventilation requires the same
study and practice with this variety.

THE SOV BUG.

I started in last March to grow roses
and carnations and have noticed on rose
benches that at night they are literally
covered with what I call wood-lice or
sow bugs, also what we called thousand-
le?^ wor|ms or bugs that disappear at
daylight. What I wish to ask is, do
these bugs injure the roses in any way
by eating oflf the tender bottom shoots
as they appear or even ■pnder the surface
or otherwise? If they'do, how do you
get rid of them? , '^ L. I. N.

The sow bug (Oniscus Armadillo) is
very destructive in a greenhouse, as they
live principally on the tender outer skin
of vegetables and are very fond of rose
petals. They can bis , quickly destroyed
by arsenic if they cfin be coaxed to eat
it. A preparation which I have, u«0<J for
many years with success is composed as
follows: Bran middlings finely sifted,
sixty parts; Paris green, one part; mix
thoroughly and spread lightly ailong the
side-boards. The sweetness of the bran
seems to attract them and one or two
doses a week will soon clear them out.
A sprinkling of gas lime on the walks
and under the benches will also expel
them from their haunts.

The thousand-legged worm does not
injure the plants, strictly confining its
operations to the manure in the soil and
mulch and helping to pulverize it, so
that it may be the more readily con-
verted into food for the plants. Ribes.

CARNATION NOTES— WEST.

Potting Cuttings.

Those cuttings you put in sand in De-
cember will likely be ready to pot now,
and as soon as they are well rooted you
should lose no time in potting them.
After a cutting is well rooted it does
not improve by remaining in the sand;
in fact, it is liable' to draw up and
weaken because there is little nourish-
ment in the sand and usually the cut-
tings set in the sand too close together
to spread out much; hence, the drawing
upward, the only direction they can
grow.

Before potting, you should ripen them
just a little by giving them more sun-
light than they had while they were root-
ing. In fact, this should be begun as
soon as they begin to shove out the
roots. Gradually give them a little more
sun each day, until, by the time the roots

are strong enough to pot them, they will
be able to stand the full sun on a bright
day. There will be less wilting and
suffering after potting and the young
plants will take hold much quicker. Cut-
tings that are potted during January
and early February should be potted in
2-inch pots and shifted in March to 3-
inch. This is where many growers make
their mistake and they would be much
better off with a cutting taken out of
the sand early in March than with these
early struck cuttings. Room is scarce
and other work is crowding on most
places during March and as the young
plants look healthy they are just left in
the small pots until planting out time.

During the last few weeks before
planting out, when the sun is quite warm
and evaporation is rapid, the young
plants which are very pot-bound, dry
out severely and become stunted as a re-
sult. It is too late to repot them then,
because they would not even root through
by the time they should be planted out.

much less recover from the stunt in
growth. That is the one thing in favor
of planting the cuttings in flats or on a
bench in two and a half inches of soil.
They will not become stunted, though,
as a general proposition, pot culture is
much to be preferred. So, pot them into
small pots and in light soil so they will
become established quickly and ready to
shift into larger pots, when you can use
a heavier soil to make a strong, robust
plant, with close joints and leathery
foliage.

Use Fresh SoiL

Use fresh soil that has been exposed
to the weather and, to lighten it, add a
little sand and old rotten manure from
the hotbed if you have it. Screen it
through a %-inch mesh screen and see
that it is about right in moisture. It
should be so th^|; it will press together
well when potting, but it should not be
too wet to crumble readily. This is im-
portant. If it is too dry it will draw
the moisture from the plants and cause
wilting and you will find it diflBcult to
water so it will penetrate to the bottom
of the pot. If it is too wet it will pack
and bake when it gets dry and no plant
will thrive in it.

When taking the cuttings from the
sand give them a slight shake to shake
the sand from the roots. Don't take out
more than you can pot in an hour or
two, as it does them no good to stand
around with the roots exposed. Keep
the box containing thqm covered. When
potting, do not pot too deep, as deep
potting tends to rotting at the stem.
If the root crown is a half inch below
the surface of the soil it is deep enough
to hold the plant upright and that is
all you want. The roots naturally grow
downward. Press the soil firmly and do
not fill the pots too full, but be sure
there is a little loose soil on top to pre-
vent baking. Water them as soon after
potting as practical and be sure the
water penetrates to the bottom of the
pot. If the soil is in the proper state,
filling the pots once should be enough.
An hour or two after watering turn one
of them out of the pot and see whether
it went to the bottom. If it did not,
then water again immediately. After
that water only when needed to keep the
soil fairly moist, not wet. The plants
will be healthier and stronger if watered
moderately, especially during cloudy
weather. Set on a light bench where
they will get the full sunlight all day
if possible. Many growers err along this
line by using the worst bench on the
whole place for their young stock. Nat-
urally, the plants on that bench are
poorer than the rest and these are pulled
up to make room.

Are Next Season's Gx>p.

If you will but bear in mind that
these young plants are your next season 's
stock and that everything you do for
them from the beginning will have its
effect next winter, you will see the wis-
dom in giving them every advantage pos-
sible. True, they will have all spring
and summer .to recover and grow, but
don't you think a young plant in the
pink of condition will make a better
plant than one that has been neglected
and stunted or drawn up? Look after
them and top them after they are
planted in the field, so that you may
have good plants by housing time. Close
attention and good care before planting
them out will save you much work and
worry while they are in the field. A
sturdy, healthy plant will break more

Gtraation White Enchantress.

readily when topped and will stand up-
right better than a weakly one. So give
them the best bench on the place if you
can.

After potting, shade them from the
sun for a few days. We lay newspapers
over them. This keeps the sun off and
at the same time checks evaporation by
keeping drafts away. After the third
day, put them on a little later and take
off a little earlier each day, until by the
end of a week they can take the full sun
all day. There will be dry spots here
and there and along the edge to be
touched up with the sprinkling can. Do
this in the morning before placing on
the papers and keep the foliage dry at
night, the same as you do on the bloom-
ing plants. The temperature should be
the same, or a few degrees less than you
keep your blooming plants in ; 48 degrees
to 50 degrees is about ideal for the
young plants.

Not Too Late for Good Plants.

If you have not put in your cuttings
yet, don't fear that you are too late to
get good plants. Cuttings put in sand
now, or within the next few weeks,>-will
make as good plants by August 1 as any
one could wish for if given propei'-^are
right through. In fact these cuttings
are less liable to meet with any check
before being planted out than the earlier
struck cuttings, and in many cases will
outstrip them by fall. Propagation from
now on will require a little more skill
than during the last two months on ac-
count of the stronger sunlight and more
ventilation required to keep the houses
at the proper temperature. If you put
in a second batch on the same bench
and if the previous batch rooted per-
fectly and you were careful to remove
all dead foliage, roots, etc., you can
use the lower half of the sand again by
replacing the upper half with fresh sand.
But if there was any clamping off or

trouble of any kind you would better
renew it all and whitewash the bench
besides.

The cuttings now will be strong and
will take less time to root than during
the last two months. In fact, they will
be better in every way except for this
slight lateness. I will have more to say
about caring for late struck cuttings
shortly. A. F. J. Baur.

ADHERING OF SHCX>TS.

Please tell me the cause of the tips of
carnation shoots adhering instead of
opening naturally; also give a remedy.
The worst cases were in a group in a bed
of Boston Market, but some were in a
bed of Lawson. Tips thus affected im-
mediately form a weak flower bud. Also
give directions for fumigating with
hydrocyanic acid gas for red spider.

J. W. C.

This adhering of the leaves on the
young shoots is not so common at this
time of the year as it is in the fall. A
few weeks after housing, when new
growth commences, and especially if the
soil is very rich, some varieties will show
this kind of growth a good deal. For
that reason I think it is caused by a
quick, perhaps unnatural, growth after a
severe check to the plant. Mrs. Joost is
espeqially prone to this trouble. At this
time of the year this. condition might be
caused by the plants being kept on the
dry aide too much and then mulched and
watered heavily; also, if the soil hap-
i pened to become dry at the bottom of-
j the bench and left in that state for some
I time, and then watered heavily, perhaps
with manure water; in fact, I might say
too liberal treatment when the plants
are not in condition to appreciate it. The
remedy would be a return to rational
treatment, eliminating all stimulants for
a time. A light dusting of lime over the

soil and watered in will help matters
some; then -water rather sparingly for
a time, but do not let the plants suffer
for water.

I would advise you to use hydrocyanic
acid gas only as a very last resort on
account of its dangerous nature. You can
rid your plants of red spider without it
by spraying them sharply with the hose.
Select a bright day and in the morning
•spray them first with a nicotine solutipn
and in the middle of the morijing
syringe them from both sides as sharply
as you can. Two or three doses like this
,a few days apart will do the work ef-
fectively. There is- too much about
hydrocyanic acid gas, to use it effectivo-
}y and with safpt^-, to tell you here. It
has been publisl\ed many times in the
Review. If you have not preserved your
laack copies and are determined to use it,
•^vrite to the U. 8. Department of Agrj-^
<?ulture, Division of Entomology, for bul-*"
iletin No. 27 ; new series, revised edition.
It explains fully the method of using the
gas and the necessary precautions to be
taken. No* doubt this is a good thing
to use on plants that are not easy to
reach with a spray of water, such as
violets, but you can reach every part of
a carnation so easily that we have never
found it necessary to use anything but a
strong spray of water.

CARNATION MY MARYLAND.

The white carnation, My Maryland as
exhibited last season by the H, Weber &
Sons Co., Oakland, Md., won encomiums
everywhere, but this season it did not
do well in one or two of the several
places at which it was on trial. This

h)wing letter from A. J. Tormey, dated
January 26:

You will likely call to mlud that last full,
about September,' my brother-in-law, Mr. J. O.
Devrles, while on a' visit to your pla/^, bought
of you six plant^' of My Maryland carnation,
and a little later placed^' with you an order for
rooted cuttings for delivery this spring', of the
same variety. This order' was placed in my
name, and you were requested to adTiBe me
before making the shipment. *I)have reftif In the
Florists' Review reports which were not, favor-
able to My Maryland In' 8%eral localities, li
la with satisfaction that I cam say that |jie few
pla,ijit8 we. bought of you have all along ghown
uj)' strong and hardy, and today h^xe-on them
about two dozen blpoms and buds, w^' strong
stems fully, two fdtt In length and stand with-
out supports; thcjUowers are of great size, and
average from three to four Inches.

Our florist, Mr. Chas. Rhodes, has put the
plants to ' several severe tests and now Says in
ills oplnlon/they are the strongest of aif^' vari-
ety he ba«(.j In the houses. Knowing that you
have had Some unfavorable reports on My Mary-
land, I feel' that It Is due yoiu to let you know
how well we, are pleased with it, and the strong
hardy grpwth the plants have made with us. I
will further state ' that If it would be of any
benefit to you, to have your friends and cus-
tomers see th^e plants a^.they now stand in
our house, it 'will be a pleasure to have them
visit Qur place, corner of Garrison and Oakford
avenues, Arlington, Md. Our Mr. Rhodes will
show them the plants and give them his opinion
of the same. I will state that we have not up
to this time let It be known that we have this
variety in our house.

Quite naturally this was very welcome
to the Weber Co., for they have every
faith in My Maryland and believe that
it will succeed in the majority of places.
As a constant and prolific yielder of high
grade blooms, they declare it to be abso-
lutely without a rival in its color at their
place.

CARNATION WHITE CLOUD.

A great many growers have deemed it
expedient to discontinue the growing of
White Cloud, giving its place to one or
another of the numerous good white
varieties which have come upon the mar-
ket in the past two or three years. But

Carnation My Maryland.

announcement was first made by the
Weber Co. itself, at the same time offer-
ing those who had placed orders for cut-
tings an opportunity to cancel. Quite
naturally this novel procedure on the
part of the disseminators created much
interest and was responsible for the fol-

at the establishment of Wietor Bros.,
Chicago, while the new sorts are grown
and with excellent success, still nothing
has developed of sufficient merit to cause
them to discard their old stand-by. White
Cloud seems perfectly at home in the
Wietor soil and under the Wietor cul-

ture. It is among the freest bloomers on
fho place, the flowers are of excellent
form and substance and the stem is loilg
and sufficiently strong to carry the flower
gracefully. The illustration on page 779
gives a view of the variety in one of
their older houses. Lieut. Peary is liked
by them better than any other new
white.

WORMS IN SOIL.

We have one house of carnations. Law-
son and Enchantress. We gave them a
top dressing of fresh cow manure and
the manure is now well rotted. Testing
the soil the other day we found many
little white worms about one-fourth of
an inch long, looking like little maggots.
Please give me some way to get rid of
them; we have tried lime to some extent.
What they are called? The plantg are
not yet affected, although we fear they
will be. E. W.

I doubt whether the worms you com-
plain of would bother your carnations,
though of course it will do no harm to
get rid of them. Try a good sprinkling
of tobacco dust over the soil and water
it in. Use about a. 2% -inch pot to each
row across a 5-foot bench. I think that
will clean them out. A. F. J. Baur.

CARNATION RUTH MORGAN.

J. W. Adams & Co., Springfield, Mass.,
have for five years or more grown Car-
nation Euth Morgan for cut flowers. It
is a variety of local origin and has never
been disseminated generally in the trade.
The illustration on page 776 gives an
idea of the shape of the flower and the
length and strength of stem. The color
is about the same as that of Lawson,
but the flower is only of moderate size
although of excellent form. The princi-
pal merit of the sort is its floriferous-
ness. Adams & Co. say they have never
grown anything which could equal it and
stock has always been free from disease.
The calyx does not split.

Adams & Co. are among the oldest
firms in the trade, the business having
been established in 1849. The present
partners are J. W. Adams, Charles
Adams, Walter Adams and E. J. Oatman.

NEATNESS.

There are very few growers who do
not feel a sense of pride in the neat-
ness of their establishments, but there
are a very large number of growers who
do not have the faculty of keeping their
houses in the condition they would like
to have them. And this includes a num-
ber whose places are visited by the pub-
lic. The illustration on page 777 is
from a photograph taken early in De-
cember at Mount Greenwood, 111. Mr.
Rudd is a firm believer in system and
order and the houses are kept as clean
as the office. It entails little additional
expense, and very little work after the
habit has been acquired of seeing that
the little things are attended to.

The variety occupying most of the
space in the house is Lady Margaret,
planted early in August and certainly
showing up very well as seen in the pic-
ture, but the plan of disseminating the
variety has been abandoned. On the
further bench there are miscellaneous
seedlings. Nothing is to be said of
these at the present except that there
are several which give excellent prom-
ises.

EXTERMINATING MOLES.

Kegarding moles in carnations, will say
tliiit wc have been troubled with them
in our Joost benches for the past few
v.irs. The only way we caught them
v\;!S by setting little 5 cent or 10 cent
spring ijiouse traps with ham rind as
tiiit. Place them near the holes, fas-
l.ned with wire securely, or they will
^iiry the traps away, as they certainly
,,ie tough little things. Last year we
j,;iil one house of Joost on wooden
btuches, and one on the everlasting tile
bench; those on the wood benches were
>,mply undermined, while those on the
lile were not bothered at all. It seems
to me they like a bench with holes in
the bottom to travel through, as we
(ound piles of soil a foot high under the
.vooden benches and none under the tile.

H. B.

A year ago I was troubled with moles
in the same way as G. S. The cats would
not touch them, so I took a piece of
board, put on it a small pile of wheat
flour and then took a common tin mouse
trap and placed over it so they had to
run their heada through the holes the
same as if it was baited for mice. The
first night I caught two in the same trap
and that happened to be all there was
this winter. If G. S. will try this remedy
I think he will find it will work all right.

E. B.

1 was bothered Avith moles in the same
way as G. S. They cleaned the pinks
all out. I tried about everything he did,
and the last thing I did was to soak oats
in strong Paris green water and spread
them around among the pinks. That
finished the moles. I could pick them up
anywhere. R. S. H.

In regard to the inquiry of G. S. for
a remedy for moles, some years ago I
was in the same fix. After trying a
number of different poison and trap
baits I had the good luck to leave in
the carnation house one night a piece
of Ivory soap and found it next morn-
ing eaten all around the edges. I baited
two common mouse traps and next morn-
ing I found five caught. Ivory soap has
done the job for me, since it has never
failed to entice them to get their necks
broken. If G. S. tries it I hope he will
report his success in the Review.

W. P.

In the Review of February 1 G. S.
wants to know what will kill the moles
which are eating his carnation blooms.
I never knew of moles eating carnations,
but if he means the large, short-tailed
field mouse, tell him to try soaking a
handful of corn in water until soft.
Then take a knife and make a small in-
<ision in the eye of each grain and
I'orce a small portion of strychnine into
'he grain with the point of the knife,
]>ressing the skin into place again. We
•'re frequently troubled with this pest
''>ith carnations and tomatoes, but one or
'wo feedings with the corn generally rids
he place. Arsenic does not seem to do
he work. F. T. Way.

In reply to the note of G. S. in the

■ ssue of the Review for February 1, I
vould say that I have experienced the

J3®6 trouble with moles. I have used

■ U kinds of remedies, and find the only
•hing I can get the moles to touch is

MINERS' STRIKE IMMINENT.

A strike of 300,000 coal miners, in-
volving every colliery in the anthracite
and bituminous coal fields in the coun-
try, seems inevitable on April 1. The
operators at a meeting at Indianapolis
February 1 definitely and finally rejected
the miners' demands for an increase in
wages. The United Mineworkers im-
mediately voted to raise a defense fund
of $6,500,000 by the assessment of $1 a
week until April on every miner belong-
ing to the union. The United Mine-
workers already have in their treasuries
$6,500,000. So, by April 1, the miners
will have a total strike fund of $13,000,-
000. Over 600,000 miners in both an-
thracite and bituminous fields are de-
clared as sure to strike on that dav.

WORMS ON SMILAX.

Is there any remedy for a worm, re-
sembling the cut worm, that climbs the
vines and trims the tender foliage off,
mostly at night or on cloudy days? Have
caught about 400 in a bed of 1.200
plants in about two weeks. Is there any
other remedy than picking them off.
S. R.

The caterpillar in question is a very
destructive one in a smilax bed, for it
has a most voracious appetite. Spraying
with a weak solution of Paris green
would probably put a stop to the mis-
chief, but if too much Paris green is
used the leaves of the smilax are likely
to be scorched. Hand-picking is the
safest method, but does occupy a great
deal of time, and unless this can be dore

RATS IN GREENHOUSE.

I am so tormented with rats in my
greenhouse that 1 would ask you if you
know of any way to get rid of the pests.
I have used six bottles of strychnine
containing four grains each, some of it
in poisoning lard and spreading the same
on bread; 1 used it with meat, with corn
the same way as we used to poison
gophers but they seem to he as bad as
ever. They eat the corn, sometimes
clean, but after they have had a dose
they won 't touch it for some time ; they
eat the bread and lard inside of an hour,
but it doesn 't seem to do any good. The
last bottle I used the druggist told me to^
put the four grains to one and one-h^li
pints of water and put enough corn to
absorb all of it; but they only ate a
little of it. I used to put the four grains
in nearly two quarts of water ; ''then they
ate the corn but 1 don't think it killed
them. They are carrying away my
carnation cuttings and are also in the
carnation beds, cutting down the new
shoots and even flowers and buds and pile
them up in some convenient corner where
they eat them up. L. A. G.

Rats are a serious pest in a greenhouse
and frequently do great damage in a
very short time, for they seem to delight
in chewing off the tender shoots of many
plants in addition to those they actually
eat.

The poison used in this case must sure-
ly De of poor quality, or else the ani-
mals must be very numerous, for that
quantity of strychnine ought to dispose
of a great many rats. Try a common

steel trap, placed in the run that is most
used by the rats, completely covering
every part of the trap with fine, dry saw-
dust, and then placing a bait of some
cracked corn or other grain in a tiny
pile right over the plate of the trap.
This device has served me well in a
similar difficulty^ and although but one
rat was caught in the trap, yet the others
disappeared, as frequently is the case
after one of their number has been
trapped. Another way to discourage
them is to locate the holes by which the
rats enter the greenhouse, and then to
fill up the holes with broken glass and
tar. W. H. T.

MIGNONETTE.

[A ,paper by Joseph Bradley, Dobbs Ferry,
N. Y.i read before the Tarrytown Horticultural
Society,, January 30, 1906.]

Mi^oirette is like most other floyyers
we gl^Qw indoors. It is easy to grow
providing the right means are at hand.
The first requirement is a proper house.
The next is the right kind of soil and
manure. The next and the most im-
portant requirement is plenty of time
to attend to it after it is planted. The
kind of house to grow mignonette in is,
in my opinion, a house sufth as is com-
monly used to grow violets, with the
benches somewhat farther from the glass.
They should be from two to three feet,
according to the variety you intend to
grow, as the different varieties vary a
great deal in iheir height.

For instance, the old variety called
Machet and one of the newest, called
Her Majesty, the former is only half
OS tall as the latter. But in my opinion
the nearer to the glass it can be grown
the better, providing there is headroom
to keep it straight;. The house should
be so constructed that both side and
top air can be given, as mignonette likes
an abundance of air.

Solid benches should be used where
possible, as there is not so much danger
of the bottom roots becoming dry. This

should be six inches deep at the least
and if boards are used at the bottom
they should be far enough apart to allow
good dimnage.

Mignonette should be sown where it
is expected' to bloom, without trans-
planting it. After, lines have been drawn
crossways and also lengthways of the
bed, say twelve inches apart crossways
and ten lengthways, place three or four
seeds at each point where the lines cross.
When the plants are one inch high they
should be taken out, leaving one in each
place. After the plants have attained
a. height of ^our inches thfiy. should iiave.
the top pinched out to cause them to
make side shoots and according to the
size of the spike you wish to get, the
quantity of the shoots should be allowed
to remain. If you wish very large spikes
then only four or five, but very nice
spike9<)6an be bad if eig^t or nine shoots
ard'left. " ^ ' ' '" '

It is very necessary to keep them tied
up straight, and there are several ways
of doing this. One is just to place a
stake in the middle of the plant and
run a string around. Some use carna-
tion-stakes, some also run wires length-
ways of the bed and strings crossways,
the 'Same, as e&rnation growers do, and I
think this way the best; it keeps them
upright without crowding.

'After the shoots have been taken,
keep all side shoots from these; if
they ar» Allowed to remain no good
spikes may be looked for.

If you wish to cut mignonette for the
holidays the seed should be sown by the
middle of August. All the air should
be left on the house night and day until
near frost. This makes the plants very
stocky. But after it is closed I like to
have it from 47 to 50 degrees, with as
much air as it is possible to give at all
times. I know that some growers advo-
cate from 40 to 45 degrees but in my
opinion this is too dead, especially so
after the month of January, when we
get more sun.

Gunation Ruth Morgati.

is very injurious to mignonette; we
do not see so much effect in the plant,
but we cannot expect such fine spikes.
If solid benches are used the soil should
be removed about ten inches deep and
filled with good, stiff loam and manure.
The manure should be well rotted. I
use three-quarters loam to one-quarter
manure, with a good sprinkling of air-
slaked lime.
' If hollow benches are used they

K

After the spikes have begun to form
they should have liquid manure about
once every ten days. I find horse ma-
nure suits first-class; also nitrate of
soda, about three barrels to fifty gallons
of water. After the first crop has
been cut, if proper attention is given to
pinching and feeding good cutting can
be kept up until June. I think it a
mistake to throw it out after the first
crop has been cut. The later spikes are

not quite so large but you get a great
many more of them and they come much
quicker.

The best variety to grow that I know
of is the one called Her Majesty. It is
rather tall but it gives good satisfaction.

The greatest pest we have to contend
with on mignonette is the common cab-
bage worm, or the larvs of the yellow
butterfly, and if this pest it not kept in
check it will soon eat up all the plants.
There are several ways of getting rid
of this pest. I find Paris green very
good in exterminating it, but it must
be used very carefully, not to get it too
strong, for it wilh burn the plants. It
ought to be mixed in water and put on
with a fine spray; put enough Paris
green in the water to just color it.
Salt can also be used dissolved in water;
while hellebore, slug shot, pyrethrum
powder and tobacco, dust can also be
used dusted on the platifts. But the best
way is to keep the butterfly out of the
house by placing mosquito netting over
the ventilators or by building a light
framework over the bed and covering it
with netting.

The earth worms also become trouble-
some in the solid benches if lime water
is not used from time to time.

I should also state that after th^ first
crop has been cut and the plants are
making new growth they will require
abundance of water and a good top
dressing of well rotted cow manui^e will
help them a great deal, but the liquid
manure should be used as before. The
spikes will be greatly improved if cut
twenty-four hours and placed in a cool
house before using them.

PLANT BREEDING.

(A paper by C. W. Ward, of Qneene, N. Y.,
read at the annual meeting of the American
Breeders' Association at Lincoln, Neb., January
■17, 1906.)

The economic importance of produc-
ing improved varieties of grain, forage
plants, fruits, nuts, vegetables, flowers
and timber trees, is fully as great as that
of improving animals, fowls, fish and
economic insects.

The wealth which may be added to
our country by improved grains, plants
and trees cannot now be estimated; but
by such improvement we can largely in-
crease the productive capacity of the
soils contained in our agricultural areas,
as well as of those areas which may prove
suitable only for maintaining forests.

The sustaining power of the country
may well be much increased by the intro-
duction and cultivation of such improved
grains, forage crops, vegetables and
fruits. Further benefits may be secured
by extending northward the area of cul-
tivation for grains, forage crops, fruits
and vegetables, by patientfy ci'ossing the
native hardy strains found in most north-
ern latitudes with the temperate growing
species now at our command and gradu-
ally acclimatizing the progeny of those
crosses.

In my own work upon the carnation, I
have succeeded, within the period of ten
years past, in producing a strain of car-
nations that have been grown under glass
all the time, and now have benches of
plants that have been grown three years
without renewal and are still producing
abundant crops of fine blooms, although
the general custom of the craft is to re-
new the benches every year from plants
cultivated in open fields during the sum-
mer season. This may be (Quoted as a
practical example of acclimatization.

The grazing capacity of the country

may be largely increased by the introduc-
tion and cultivation of improved forage
crops, and better meats will thereby be
produced by the use of better and more
abundant feeding material. Advantage
can also be taken of the variation in the
feeding value of different wild grasses
as applied to different purposes, such as
the cultivation of the softer, more suc-
culent grasses, for the maintenance of
breeding herds, and the slower growing,
harder and more fattening Buffalo
grasses for fattening herds. It might
well be asked why we should not improve
our native forage grasses by cultivation,
the selection of the improved, and even
by hybridization. It might also prove
that foreign grasses can be acclimatized,
hybridized with our native species and
made to largely increase the stock rais-
ing capacity of our ranges and pastures.
It is even possible that a portion of Mr.
Burbank's energies may be practically
employed in some such work as this.

Reproductive Forestry.

We might also dwell lipon the impor-
tance of the work of reproductive fores-
try, which seems to be the sole hope of
lengthening our timber supply. I doubt
if it will prove practicable to materially
preserve old forests by any process of
cutting or thinning out matured trees,
but that, on the contrary, plantings of
young trees upon such soils as are not
best fitted for agricultural or horticul-
tural purposes, and the natural seeding
of cutover lands, will likely prove the sole
hope of forestry reproduction.

Mr. Burbank has succeeded in produc-
ing a rapid-growing hybrid walnut which
in his estimation should prove of consid-
erable value for timber purposes, inas-
much as it will produce a matured timber
tree in about one-half the time that one
could be produced with the native species.
Now if he could originate similar rapid-
growing pines, spruces, redwoods, larches,
oaks, poplars and hickories that would
produce larger, taller and more symmetri-
cal trunks, the productive timber capacity

of our forest lands would be greatly in-
creased.

It may well be asked, if he can origi-
nate this improved walnut, why can he
not ■ produce an improved Douglass fir,
a spruce, a white pine, or a sugar pine?
Why cannot he cross the white, Norway,
yellow and sugar pines and get something
different from either of themf Why not
take the magnificent timber hemlocks of
the Pacific coast, cross them with the
hardy hemlocks of the east, and secure
a hardy hemlock, that will produce on
eastern land as fine lumber as is now
afforded by the Pacific coast hemlocks?
And cannot the same thing be done with
the white cedar and cypresses?

The importance of keeping records of
work done and intelligent pedigrees so
that the practical results obtained may
be studied and reviewed at leisure, should
not be underestimated. Judging by hind-
sight, or by work accomplished, will in
the end prove far better than judging by
foresight of work we would like to ac-
complish. In my own work upon the car-
nation, I have kept records for the past
ten years, so that at present, instead of
working at random, I am proceeding in
a methodical way and producing better
and surer results. The general princi-
ples discovered in plant breeding can
probably be applied to all breeding, even
to the reproduction of the human species.

Should Not Neglect Human Species.

If we are to improve our plants,
grains, fruits, flowers, grasses and all
our domestic animals, and even the wild
fowls, as well as the animals from the
wilderness, are we justified in neglect-
ing our species, and allowing it to be
reproduced in a haphazard way with the
possible, result of serious degeneracy in
the end? Should not the principles dis-
covered in the intelligent improvements
of plants and animals be applied to the
reproduction and perpetuation of the
human race, so far as may be practical
without destroying or impairing the ten-
ets of our religions or the morality of

our peoples? I will hazard the prophecy
that the nation which first possesses the
foresight to effectually prevent or practi-
cally restrict the reproduction of its de-
generate or criminal elements is destined
to take the leading position among the
civilized nations of the globe and will be-
come the future 'model for the advance-
ment of civilization.

If at the judgment day, mankind haa
not applied the intelligence with which it
has been endowed and the knowledge
gained by centuries of thought and study
to the advancement and physical and
mental improvement of its own species,
will it not have failed to improve the
talents entrusted to its keeping by the
Creator?

Can the human family neglect properly
endowing its progeny with strong, vigor-
ous, healthful bodies and normal minds
that they may be better able to fill life's
allotted tasks successfully, and, finally,
to approach the great bar of judgment
with the consciousness of a life's span
well filled with good and useful works,
and to hear from the divine judge, "Well
done, good and faithful servants, you
have made good use of the talents which
I placed in your keeping"?

DRACAENA INDIVISA.

Kindly advise me as to the age of
Dracaena indivisa for seed bearing. Will
a single plant fertilize its own seed?
C. F. M.

The age at which Dracaena indivisa
will bear seeds depends very much upon
the conditions under which it is grown
but it is probable that plants growii
under glass seldom flower at less than
ten to twelve years of age, unless some
check in growth has caused premature
flowering. Where this plant may be
grown outdoors permanently, as in south-
ern California, and, also, in some por-
tions of Europe, it is quite possible that
it may attain maturity earlier, and bring
forth a crop of seed within less than

LETTUCE.

Planting in Cold Frames.

The time that lettuce plants can safely
be planted in cold frames depends a good
deal on the season, but, as a rule, after
the middle of February is past, they can
be carried through if proper attention is
given to covering up at night. After
the time just mentioned the strength of
the sun's rays is sufficient to so warm
up the soil under the sash that enough
can be retained to keep the plants quite
comfortable over night, if the sashes
are closed early and su^iicient covering
put over them to prevent the cold from
penetrating. Before trusting the plants
in the com frames it is very important
that they be well hardened off, as, if
put out in too soft a state, they are sure
to suffer from the sudden change. They
should be kept in a temperature of about
40 degrees for at least a week previous
to setting in the frames and in these
they should be allowed to stand for a
few days in the flats so as to get clima-
tize-x before planting out.

Previous to planting out the soil in
the frames should be well forked up and
a liberal dressing of well rotted barn-
yard manure worked into it. So that the
soil will be warmed as well as possi-
ble the Sashes should be left closed all
day and covered up at night for a few
nights, at least, before planting takes
place. Handled thus it is usually possi-
ble to get a nice early crop of lettuce
irom the cold frames. It is not always
possible to accomplish this, as the
weather is sometimes quite severe up to
the beginning of March and sometimes
later, but that is the exception, not the
rule, and cold snaps at that season are
usually of short duration. The mild
spells intenening give a chance to get
the soil thawed out and warm enough for
planting under sash. When it can be
done it is a great advantage, as it not
only relieves the congestion in the green-
houses where every inch of available

space is needed during the spring
months, but better lettuce can be pro-
duced in the cold frames than can be
grown in the most up-to-date greenhouse,
the atmosphere and surroundings being
much more to their taste.

Varieties for Frames.

As to variety for planting thus early
we prefer Boston Market, as it is about
the hardiest of the family. It hearts up
well and makes a very showy lettuce
when finished, besides being equal to any
in quality. Big Boston is another very
desirable variety; it is larger growing
than the former, but, being softer, is
not so suitable for very early work. For
second planting it is just the thing as it
makes a beautiful head, is first class in
quality and can be depended on to com-
mand the highest price in the market.
Its softness, however, • renders it not
quite so good for shipping a long dis-
tance as Boston Market, but where the
market is not too far away there should
be no trouble in getting it there in prime
condition. ~ W. S. Croydon.

Greenhonse Beating.

TO CLEAN HOT VATER PIPES.

We have three houses heated by hot
water. The pipes have been run for
fifteen years and I do not think we can
get the heat from them that we could
when they were new. Is there any way
we could clean the pipes without hurting
the boiler so they would give out more
heat? W. L. S.

There are a number of boiler com-
pounds upon the mark^ which might be
used with good resulW^in this instance.
If it were possible to disconnect the
pipes from the boiler and thoroughly
flush them with a high pressure hose all
mud and loose scale would be removed.
The boiler should also be flushed and
frequently blown off. Pure cone molas-
ses used in small quantities with the
feed water will remove and prevent the
formation of scale in the pipes and
boiler. L. C. C.

STEAM OR HOT WATER.

Kindly give me capacity of boiler,
steam and hot water, required to heat
a plant of four houses, 105 feet long,
sixteen feet wide, even span, ten feet to
ridge; two lean-to houses the same
length and a propagating house, facing
north three-quarter span, 18x35 feet,
twelve feet to ridge. Also best way to
pipe for steam and hot water to main-
tain a temperature of 54 degrees to 60
degrees in 10 degrees to 15 degrees be-
low weather. Would steam or hot water
be most economical? Might possibly
double establishment in a few years.
F. A. W.

If these houses are to be heated with
hot water, a boiler with sufficient capac-
ity to carry 3,000 square feet of radiation
will be none too large. A boiler with
about 400 square feet of heating surface
should be sufficient. With hot water
each of the 16-foot houses can be piped
with a 2^^ -inch flow under the ridge to
the far end of the house, the highest
point in the system to be at the far end of
the house. There the flow may be
divided by 2-inch pipes to supply a coil
under each side bench as well as the

center bench. If 2-inch pipe is used in
these coils, three pipes in each coil be-
neath each of the three benches, nine
pipes in all, it will supply sufficient
radiation to maintain a temperature of
60 degrees in the house. The lean-to
houses should carry a 2-inch flow and five
2-inch returns, three of these to be
placed under the bench next to the ex-
posed wall.

A steam system can be installed with
slightly less expense. The boiler should
not be smaller, but the less expensive
pipe used with steam will cut down the
first cost somewhat. Each of the 16-
foot houses should have a 2-inch flow,
returning by ten 1%-inch returns and
the lean-to houses sh,ould have a 2-inch
flow, returning by six 1^4 -inch returns.
With steam the highest point in the sys-
tem should be as near as possible to the
boiler. Directly over it is ideal, with
all risers and returns so graded as to
cause the water from condensation to
pass through the system and reach the
boiler via the returns.

Steam requires more attention than
hot water. The cost of labor in one is
an offset for cost in installation in the
other. Each man must consider for him-
self which, under his conditions, he will
choose. L. C. C.

SHOULD HAVE SINGLE SYSTEM.

. We would appreciate it if you would
tell us how best to arrange the heating
pipes for greenhouses as described. We
have ten houses and an office. Houses
Nos. 4, 5 and 6 extend north and south
and are, respectively, 22x110 feet, 11
feet to ridge, 12x110 feet, 8 feet to
ridge, and 16x45 feet, 8 feet to ridge.
House No. 2 is a boiler cellar where an
upright steam boiler is located. This
house extends across the north end of No.
4 and No. 5. No. 3 is a boiler cellar
where are located one Kroeschell hot
water and one small Wilks hot water. It
adjoins No. 2 on the west. No. 7 is a propa-
gating pit extending 57 feet west from
No. 3 and is six feet wiue and six feet to
ridge. Houses Nos. 8, 9 and 10 extend
west from No. 5, parallel with No. 7.
Their dimensions are, respectively, ISx
78 feet, nine feet to ridge, 10x78 feet,
ten feet to ridge, and 10x78 feet, ten feet
to ridge. No. 11 is a lean-to, 6x78 feet,
seven feet to ridge. It adjoins and paral-
lels No. 10, extending west from house
No. 5. The office is at the northeast
corner of house No. 5. There is no par-
tition between No. 4 and No. 5, between
No. 5 and No. 6, nor between Nob 8 and
No. 9 and between No. 10 and No. 11.
Nos. 4, 5 and 6 are to be heated with
steam at low pressure; we would also
like to have a steam radiator in the of-
fice. Nos. 7 and 8 are to be heated with
hot water from a Wilks boiler; Nos. 9,
10 and 11 also with hot water from a
Kroeschell boiler.

We have plenty of 2-inch pipe on hand
and also a few 2^-inch which we would
like to use. Houses Nos. 10 and 11 we
wish to pipe for a night temperature of
56 degrees and the balance to a tempera-
ture of 52 degrees to 55 degrees zero
weather. We are intending to do all of
the plumbing and steamfitting ourselves
and would like to get particulars in de-
tail. M. F. C.

Before answering your questions I wish
to call your attention to a condition
which I am sure you will later have deep
cause to regret. With a plant as large
as the one you have it is unwise to run

three fires and two systems of heating.
Either put it all on a steam or a hot
water basis and get adequate boilers to
do the work. The patchwork system you
have planned will give you trouble and
will prove more expensive to handle than
will a single system.

Your house No. 4 can be heated by a
2-inch riser running under the ridge and
returning by twelve 1^4 -inch returns.
House No. 5 should have a 2-inch riser
under the ridge and seven 1 14 -inch re-
turns, while house No. 6 will require ten
114-inch pipes supplied from a branch
from the 2-inch riser running through
house No. 5. House No. 7 requires 110
square feet of radiation which can be
supplied by three runs of 2-inch pipe.
House No. 8 if piped with 2-inch pipe
will require at least six lines of pipe.
Houses Nos. 9 and 10 will each require
four lines of 2-inch pipe, while house No.
11 should be provided with three lines of
2-inch pipe. This is all based on the
water in the boiler being maintained at
li)<j degrees. L. C. C.

BOILER CAPAQTY.

What rated capacity should a boiler
be for heating with hot water to a tem-
perature of 60 degrees with the tempera-
ture outside 20 degrees below zero, a
greenhouse, 20x70 feet, east end and
south wall glass, and how should the
piping be arranged? I expect to add
two more houses of the same size in the
future. Would it be advisable to get a
sectional boiler, and add sections as
needed; or, would it be better to get a
boiler large enough for all at first, and
^hat capacity boilel- would it require
for all three houses? M. J. B.

house, a boiler rated to carry 800 feet of
radiation will be sufficient, and when all
three houses are completed the boiler for
the whole plant should have a rated ca-
pacity for about 2,000 square feet of
radiation. A boiler with about 250
square feet of heating surface will
finally be needed, although one with 100
square feet of heating surface will pro-
vide for the one house. The most econom-
ical plan, all things considered, would
probably be to install a boiler of suffi-
cient size in the beginning, particularly
if the additional houses are to be erected
within the next year. L. C. C.

TWIN CITIES.

The one house 20x70 feet to be carried
'it 60 degrees during severe weather
should be provided with a 2 1/^ -inch flow
pipe and eleven 2-inch returns; the flow
to be carried under the ridge and the
returns either under benches or along
side walls.

Either plan mentioned can be success-
fully employed to provide the necessary
boiler capacity. At present, with one

Trade the past week has kept up tol-
erably well notwithstanding the fact that
we have very changeable weather; at this
writing the thermometer is about zero
and from present indications will be much
colder, which, if anything, is considered
much better for the trade than warm
weather is at this time of the year. A
bright day will always ^ring out a
number of Greeks on the streets, which
cuts into the trade to some extent. Stock
has been coming in very good. Koses are
all right, but unless we have some sun-
shine will no doubt be scarce again
as they were last week. Carnations have
been coming in fairly well, but our grow-
ers have not as yet got them to a point
where they can be favorably compared
with what are being shipped in; whether
it is the lack of glass or not having
planted a sufficient number, it is hard
to say, but to be frank they must ad-
mit that what they are cutting are not
as good or as large as those coming in
from outside points. Bulbous stock is
plentiful; some very fine early varieties
of tulips are seen. There are, however,
more Yellow Prince and ua Reine than
all other varieties. Romans and Paper
Whites are also plentiful. Prices are
maintained nicely by the trade. Plant
sales are small, although all dealers have
some good flowering stock. Some very
nice azaleas, Dutch hyacinths, tulips in
baskets and flats are to be seen, but are

acknowledged to be slow sale. Harrisii
lilies in small numbers are noticed but
are of course all used in funeral work,
tlie demand about equaling the supply.

Minneapolis.

The department stores that handle cut
flowers report good business the past
week, and they are getting good fair
prices. Donaldson's is doing an im-
mense business and as this is one place
tliat uoes not handle cheap merchandise,
it is able to do business with some of
our wealthiest citizens, but as a rule,
that class of trade wants to deal with
the best florist.

The best grade of John Monson's new
rose, Miss Kate Moulton, is in the great-
est demand and is easily sold at a good
price.

O. C. Swanson reports good business
and believes in getting good prices. Even
when stock is plentiful he maintains the
figure. It is his policy to throw away
some stock rather than cut prices, but
the experienceof nearly all is that a re-
tailer who buys his supply from day
to day rarely throws away much.

St. PauL

±j. L. May & Co. have had considerable
funeral work the past week and report
only fair sales for social functions.

C. F. Vogt was remembered by a num-
ber of florists Saturday night. They
called at his home for a good time and
they had it. C. Bussjaeger appeared on
the scene with his two daughters and his
f;uitar and proceeded to make things
lively. After partaking of the good
things to drink they proceeded to dance
and kept it up until 3 a. m. Songs
were sung by Bussjaeger as he used to
sing them in the Fatheriand. A lunch
was served. The florists present were:
Otto Hiersekorn, Wm. Strehlow and
bride, H. Puvogel and wife, C. Buss-
jaeger and daughters.

E. F. Lemke intends building two
houses this spring to his Snelling avenue
range.

Holm & vjison intend adding some to
their plant. Felix.

Newburgh, N, Y. — Yuess, the florist
in "Water street, refuses to confirm the
rumor circulated locally that they are
going out of business. They are planning
to enlarge their business.

PioDEs Crossing, Mass. — F. E. Cole
says that the business prospects are im-
proving every year. Quite a few green-
houses have been built on private estates
and many more are in contemplation.

lOLA, Kan. — A. L. Harmon has sold
his greenhouses to R. D. Backus, of In-
dependence, la. Mr. Backus will add
several new houses to the plant and grow
cut flowers and spring bedding plants
exclusively. Mr. Harmon will seek a
new location in California.

Denison, Tex. — A. W. Hopkins, mar-
ket gardener, is • preparing to build a
greenhoiise for forcing lettuce.

Washington, 0. — Mrs. M. J. Moore,
wife of M. J. Moore, is spending the
winter at Merritt's Island, Fla.

Vincennes, Ind. — John Friz is pre-
paring to experiment with electric light
in accelerating growth in his vegetable
houses.

Needham, Mass. — The business of the
late Denys Zirngiebel, who had become a
noted pansy specialist, will be continued
by his son, Augustus Zirngiebel.

St. Petee, Minn. — William Nicol, the
florist at the St. Peter State Hospital, is
popular at Scotch entertainments, and en-
joys the distinction of being the cham-
pion Scottish dancer of the northwest.

I enclose a dollar for another year's

Houston Heights, Texas. — 'W. H.
Hawkins grows roses outside for cut
flowers with good results. He will soon
plant 32,000 bushes, giving a total of
46,000. Beauty does well with him.

Savanna, III. — J. Y. Lambert reports
trade very fair, but weather too warm
for propagating. His carnations are
blooming well, but the stems are not as
strong as he would like.

New Orleans, La. — At the meeting
of the Louisiana State Horticultural So-
ciety held February 2 and 3, C. W. Eich-
ling was elected president of the organ-
ization for the ensuing year.

MuRPHYSBOEO, ILL. — Claude Wisely is
probably the youngest florist in the state
who is conducting his own establishment
of over 2,000 square feet of glass. He is
only 17 years of age and has been active-
ly engaged in the business for three
years. He began with a house 8x10,
which was later torn down and replaced
by the two structures he is operating
at present. He has carnations in one
house and a stock of miscellaneons plants
in the other. Business has been good
with him, McKinley day especially so.

Franklin, Pa. — McEthinney Bros, ire
building a rose house' 18x135. .

Montrose, Mich.— Otto H. Cran ■ is
figuring on a house 28x100 feet for clar-
nations". . ..•.;_ '

Albion, Mich. — M. & S. L. Dysinger
report 1905 the best business year they
have ever enjoyed and they have been
very busy with funeral work during
January.

Constantine, Mich. — H. C. Drake's
greenhouse is idle, he having abandoned
the business. He says it seems that the
place is too small to maintain even one
greenhouse.

Columbus, O. — Graff Bros, report that
McKinley day 1906 was not to be com-
pared with 1905 or 1904. They did some
extra business but not as much as they
had prepared for.

Lafayette, Ind. — F. Dorner & Sons
Co. reports having booked more orders
for White Perfection than they had
booked to a corresponding date on any
white carnation they ever sent out.

OwATONNA, Minn. — Four greenhouses
each 30x180 feet are soon to be added to
the plant of the Clinton Falls Nursery
Co. An eighty-five horse-power boiler is
to be added to the present equipment.

KoKOMO, Ind. — Thos. L. Knipe, who
has been working for leading growers
over a wide section of country, has re-
turned to his home here and will put up
a house 14x150 for violets for the whole-
sale market.

Colorado Springs, Colo. — The Pikes
Peak Floral Co. will more than double
its glass in the coming season, the bosi-
ness in their first year having exceeded
expectations. W. H. Evans has been in
the east the past week buying material.

Port Huron, Mich.— C. W. Asman
has a miniature forest for a window
display and it is attracting much atten-
tion. In the foreground is a pool of
water in which are a number of gold
fish. Additional life is given to the dis-
play by means of canary and other
birds which fly about among the' trees.

Whitehall, Mich.— W. E. Pew has
succeeded Whitehall Floral Co. Mr.
Pew says he has proved that $1 carna-
tions can be sold in what has been
known as a thirty-cent town. He found
that when the $1 carnations were pro-
duced the customers were found and
that he could get all the customers he
wanted for them by going after them.

Belleville, III. — A. S. Hatetead has
just finished a new house 25x100 and has
bought material for six others, four of
them 15x100, one 20x100 and one 25x100.
He has a set of four fine new geraniums
which he is planning to distribute to the
trade. He also has several seedling car-
nations, one of which, a white which has
made a favorable impression on many
who have seen it, will be disseminated
in 1907. One of its merits is that it
will stand as low as 40 degrees without
injury. Dr. Halstead has a bright scar-
let he proposes to send out in 1908.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

Business has been distinctly quiet the
past week. At the same time receipts
have also been on the down grade, so
that there has been no great over-stock
in any line. Boses are scarce. Beauty
crops have come off all of a sudden and
receipts are not equal to the daily de-
mands. Much of the quality has also
been lost, particularly in the shorter
etuff.' .

Brides have been in particular request
this week and first-class stock hard to
find. The best of each day's receipts
have sold quickly at very good prices
and the low grade stock is commanding
values much better than usual. Maids
are more nearly equal to requirements.
Some very fine Uncle John are seen.
Chatenay is not in large supply but red
roses are probably shorter than anything
else.

The carnation market has continued
fairly steady. Demand is not heavy, but
receipts have shortened up in propor-
tion, so that market values have not
been greatly disturoed. There is enough
good stock to meet requirements but juat
at present it is wise to put in orders
early in the day wherever possible.
Poehlmann Bros. Co. has some very fine
Prosperity, readily bringing $6 per hun-
dred. Very few of thia variety are seen
this year. Enchantress and Lawson are
the two principal sorts.

Violets have been coming in rather
heavily and, with light demand, prices
have weakened. A deluge is feared for
February 14.

The one department in which supplies

are rapidly increasing and prices stead-
ily tending doNvnward is that of bulbous
stock. Harrisii and callas, which have
been in exceedingly brisk demand and
high in price for some weeks past, are
now too plentiful for the requirements
and prices have fallen fully one-third
in the last couple of weeks. Freesia is
a drug on the market. Paper Whites
and Bomans sell fairly well for funeral
work but seldom go above $3 per hun-
dred and many are sold much below that.
Fancy tulips still bring a fair price, but
short stuff, especially if white, is Sold
very cheaply. Valley is abundant, some
of it without foliage, bringing very
small returns. There is no change in
the green goods market.

Various Notes.

There will be a special meeting of the
Illinois State Florists' Association at
Handel hall tonight at 7:30. The call
is issued by Chairman James Hartshorne.

With the announcement that a strike
of coal miners is in prospect, growers
who needed fuel this week found the
price advanced 25 cents to 50 cents per
ton.

Vaughan & Sperry are handling some
very nice Golden Spur narcissus.

On Monday morning the Chicago Bose
Co. opened for business at 56 and 58
Wabash avenue. They have a large dou-
ble store on the street floor which will
supply accommodations at least the equal
of those of any wholesale house in town.
They are busy getting the store fitted up
and getting their stock. George Scott,
formerly at Winterson's, is assisting Mr.
Degnan.

The E. F. Winterson Co. closes its
business year with the last day of Janu-

ary. E. F. Winterson reports that he is
more than pleased with the total of
business for the year. The teamsters'
strike cut a big hole in their record for
the spring months and it was with much
satisfaction that the aggregate for the
twelve months was found to slightly ex-
ceed that of the year before.

C. S. Stewart has sold his retail store
on the west side to parties by the name

the trade.

C. W. McKellar received a shipment
of cattleyas from Lager & Hurrell on
Monday so badly frosted that they were
valueless. He also had a shipment of
orange blossoms on that day.

John B. Bisch, of Weiland & Biach,
gives it as his opinion that when plant-
ing time is nearer the demand for Kil-
larney rose plants will be even stronger
than at present. Peter Beinberg is one
of those who will plant Killamey heavily
for next season.

Klehm 's Nursery is sending the Nov-
elty tulip to Kennicott Bros. Co. in very
nice shape.

George Beinberg is still getting a very
large cut of Beauties, but his stock, in
common with that of other growers, has
lost something of its high quality be-
cause of the very unfavorable weather
conditions of the past few weeks.

E. C. Amling is again receiving bou-
vardia.

The A. L. Bandall Co. finds itself al-
ready overcrowded in the supply de-
partment and will erect a balcony in the
rear of the cut flower room, which will
give the supplies something like 1,000
feet of additional space.

of twenty-five horses kept constantly busy

more plentiful, clean up every day, good

Freesia seems more plentiful than ever
before and it is impossible to move all
of it; valley, violets and lilacs are al-
most as bad; good Sprengeri remains
scarce but plumosus strings and bunches
are plentiful. As a whole, business has
been very satisfactory for the whole-
salers. Among the retailers they are
not bragging; not many large orders,
but the regular trade is very fair.

Various Notes.

F. M. Stafford, formerly manager of
Blind Bros. ' south side store, has sev-
ered his connection with that firm and
opened a new store at 1726 Carson street,
almost opposite Blind Bros.', making
three flower stores in the one block. He
is thoroughly familiar with the trade
on that side of the river, having lived
there all his life. His friends wish him
success in his new venture.

E. G. Hill, of Richmond, Ind., was a
visitor last Thursday and, while here,
had an experience which he can prob-

ably laugh over better now than at the
time. Mr. Falconer, who was showing
him around, commissioned one of his
friends to provide something to eat
by the time they returned to the city.
He hied himself to a favorite cafe and
ordered a dish which is the pride of the
house, to be ready for the party at 5:15
p. m. The party returned about 5:20
and this same man conducted them to the
table, expecting the meal to be served at
once. After waiting a few minutes he
tried to hurry the waiter, who in turn
hurried the chef; but the minutes flew
until Mr. Hill had to go for his train.
Just as he was departing, the waiter
came hurrying in with a large platter
containing a most appetizing looking
supper, but too late for Mr. Hill, who
only got a look in and a smell and hur-
ried off to his train, leaving two of the
party to eat a meal ordered for five.
Their hopes are that at some future time
they may be able to prove to Mr. Hill
that all Pittsburg chefs are not so

WASHINGTON.

The Market.

All branches of the retail business are
active with a steady demand for good
stock, prices remaining firm. Good
roses are rather scarce but not to such an
extent as to cause great inconvenience.
Spring flowers are much in evidence, the
daffodils and tulips being much used in
table decorations. There are plenty of
carnations of the common and small
varieties but no abundance of fine stock.
Even Enchantress seems to be off crop
■with most of the growers. Violets of all
grades are plentiful and have been hav-
^"S ^ great run, but the cold snap some-
what checked sales. It had the same
effect on the pot-plant trade. Some of
the azaleas seen about the stores are
getting stale. There is an over-supply
of lilacs and the price is down. Fine
specimens of rhododendron are on the
market.

The Decorators.

For a dinner given by Gen. and Mrs.
Draper, on the night of February 3, to
the Austrian ambassador and other no-
tables, the Gude Bros, furnished the
decorations. It was k beautiful execu-
tion in pink roses. A, Farleyense, lily of
the valley and smilax. On i..e same day
this firm had another fine decoration for
a masquerade ball for young people, at
the home of Commander and Mrs. Rich-
ardson Clover. The ball room, drawing
room and dining room were draped with
southern smilax, while great bunches of
poinsettias, carnations and other blooms
were everywhere seen. Eed bells were
effectively used. A very novel feature
was a full rigged ship of generous pro-
portions, placed in one of the rooms in
partial concealment. At the proper time
it was beautifully lighted up with many
miniature electric globes, disclosing a
' ' full cargo ' ' of floral and other pres-
ents for the young folks. This idea orig-
inated in the fertile brain of the charm-
ing hostess, Mrs. Clover.

George H. Cooke has had a very busy
week, having executed a large number of
decorations. Several of these, in cut
azaleas and A. Farleyense, at the home
of Mrs. Slater, were models of the
decorators' art.

The Market.

We are now having our first touch of
real winter. There is a lot of snow on
the ground and the temperature drops
to very near the zero mark every night.
This kind of weather has put new life
into business and now it has a very
healthy look. The demand for all kinds
of stock has improved greatly and roses
and carnations are getting positively
scarce. Bulbous stock is more plentiful
and it is selling first class. Jonquils
are now to be had in fairly large quan-
tities and they go well. The demand for
lilies, which has been rather slack, is
now increasing greatly; the market is
fairly well stocked with them.

Roses and carnations sell out as fast
as they arrive and at top prices. There
is a great deal of improvement in this
respect over last week. A^iolets are sell-
ing somewhat better, but large quanti-
ties of them find their way into the
fakers' hands. They are not averag-
ing the best of returns. Violets have
not done so very well here this year,
except early in the season. Green goods
are moving very slowly as a rule. As-
paragus plumosus and Sprengeri are
rather scarce and in good demand con-
sequently, but they are the only excep-
tions.

Valentine 's day looks to be a good one

Our rose show takes place Saturday,

The Market

The market is steady, with hardly a
ripple on its surface. Cold weather scat-
ters the street merchants and down go
violets; 50 cents looks like top for spe-
cials before the week is over, and yet the
report comes down from the Dutchess
county hills, on good authority, that fifty
new violet houses are already contracted
for and fifty more are contemplated.
Merchants, clerks, farmers and spinsters
all have the fever.

Good roses hold firm at excellent prices
and much of the stock now coming to
market is beyond criticism. Special
Maids often touch $15 per hundred and
Beauties hold at $75 with ease.

Bulbous stock is very plentiful. Tulips
and narcissi especially so. Froment
handles immense quantities of these, and
some grand Long Island Uly of the val-
ley. Freesia is abundant. Orchids hold
their own as to popularity and great
quantities are daily shipped to adjoining
cities.

Perhaps the cold weather may add
some snap to business. Since Christmas
it has been less active than was antici-
pated. Ten weeks only to Easter. Ev-
erybody seems to be laying plans for it
already.

Qub Afiairs.

The club's annual dinner on Saturday
evening at the St. Denis hotel was at-

tended by about the usual number of
members, nearly sixty, a small average
in a membership of over 200. President
Scott presided ably. The committee,
Messrs. Sheridan, Haffner and Weath-
ered, are greatly to be commended for
their indefatigable efforts to make the
occasion a success. The F. B. Pierson
Co., Lager & Hurrell and A. J. Guttman
provided the flowers for the tables. Other
blooms were given but were overlooked
until too late. The menu was quite up
to the reputation of the popular hostelry.
The presentation of a valuable dia-
mond pin to Ex-President Traendly was
a delightful interlude. Mr. Traendly was
"too full for utterance/' but managed
later to emphasize the great pleasure the
gift afforded him. It was well de-
served. Two years of devotion to the
club's welfare has borne abundant fruit.
Mr. Traendly 's history of the club's
rapid growth, bis suggestion as to the
probability of "a waiting membership
list" in the near future seemed to touch
a responsive chord in all. T. Arthur
Baker and his vaudeville corps gave
many songs and stories during the even-
ing. Prof. Nash gave an interesting ad-
dress on the relation of the botanic gar-
dens to horticulture and paying tribute
to the enterprise of Veitch and Sander
and the rare and beautiful collections in
the private gardens of Europe. E. V.
Hallock, of Queens, spoke feelingly of
his experiences and his love for horticul-
ture. C. B. Weathered made the speech
of the evening, full of happy reminis-
cences, covering the club's long history
from its inception nineteen years ago.
It was a heart to heart talk and his hope
and prophecy as to a permanent home
for the club met the approval of all.
Other speakers were James Scott, of
Tarrytown, C. H. Totty, of Madison, and
A. L. Miller, of Brooklyn. W. H. Dono-
hoe, the only retailer present, spoke for
the retail florists and urged the club's
influence in behalf of a larger represen-
tation of this important branch of the
business in its membership. Alex. Wal-
lace spoke for the press. The Ricard
Bros, added much to the enjoyment of
the evening with their songs. P. O'Mara
was toastmaster. The young men of the
club were much in evidence. ' ' Auld Lang
Syne" with John Birnie leading closed
the happy night.

February 12 is carnation night at the
New York Florists' Club. Premiums of
$15, $10 and $5 are offered for the best
twenty-five blooms in four distinct va-
rieties and $5 for the best twenty-five
blooms in the room. C. W. Ward will
lecture with stereopticon illustrations.
Many new members will be with us and
all interested in the club or intending to
join are cordially invited. There will be
the usual refreshments. Many carnation
novelties will be staged. Secretary Young
will attend to all shipments for exhibi-
tion and novelties from any distance are
sure of a warm reception. Be on hand
at 7:30 Monday evening. Ladies' night
and orchid night wiU be March 12. Prof.
Nash, of the New York Botanic Garden,
will give a stereopticon lecture.

The members of the outing committee
are requested to meet at the club rooms
on Monday evening, at 7 o 'clock.

The program mapped out for the club
this year is the most complete and varied
in its history. President Scott has a
busy official life ahead of him.

months of bad weather coming in North
Carolina. Both these gentlemen ship to
the veteran, James Hart, who is going
south with Mr. Stemmler for two weeks,
his first holiday in a quarter of a cen-
tury.

George Perkins, brother of John J.
Perkins, has purchased Patrick Byles'
plant of five houses at South Orange,
now devoted to roses and carnations. At
East Orange Mr. Perkins has five houses
and a fine retail business that uses all
their output.

Jas. Greer, of South Orange, has pur-
chased a plot of land adjoining that of
Mr. Perkins and will erect five modern
greenhouses 200 feet long this summer.
As usual with the Madison experts, roses
will be grown exclusively.

Ford Bros, have a harbinger of spring
in their windows, violet plants, the ad-
vance guard of their usual Easter spe-
cialty, when they dispose of shoals of
them. The early season has brought
southern daifodils to the market, reduc-
ing the home product, they tell me, al-
ready to $10 a thousand.

The seventy-fifth fair of the American
Institute, the winter exhibition, opens
next "Wednesday, February 14, at 19
West Forty-fourth street. Apples, pears
and carnations will compete for the so-
ciety's prizes. The farmers' institute
At the same time and place, assisted by
the New Jersey State Horticultural and
Connecticut Pomological societies, will
be conducted by the Hon. D. P. Witter.
Wednesday evening Eobert Craig will
lecture on "Carnations Past and Pres-
ent."

At Secaucus, N. J., on April 1, a new
orchid firm will be established. The
name is Carrillio & Baldwin. Seven
greenhouses will be devoted exclusively
to orchid growing. Mr. Carillio is now
in South America collecting for the April
importation. Mr. Baldwin has had
charge of the orchid department of Sie-
brecht & Son, at New Eochelle, for the
past six years. The display of C. Trianro
now on exhibition there is one of which
Mr. Baldwin is especially proud. Mr.
Smith, of North Easton, now with W. N.
Craig, will succeed Mr. Baldwin at New
Eochelle.

The club smoker at Orange, N. J., last
Friday evening was a success. Among
the visitors were Ed. Boehrs, of Buther-
ford; J. Heeremans, of Morristown; C.
H. Totty, A. Herrington, Eobert Schultz
and M. Hand, of Madison; W. F. Boss,
of Newark, and Messrs. McManus, Gutt-
man, Ernshaw, Campbell, Burnett and
the Eicard brothers, of New York.
These musical enthusiasts with local
talent and general chorus accompani-
ments made abundant melody until mid-
night.

A new greenhouse building concern,
with the title of Frank Van Assche, has
located at 1133 Broadway, which seems
to be headquarters for this line of busi-
ness in New York. The factory is in
Jersey City.

Starke & Kleine have been shipping
plants as far as Eochester.

Foley, of 226 Bowery, with green-
houses at Madison, enjoyed much help-
ful publicity last week by an illustrated
display description of his enterprises in
the New York News. Some of the retail
florists understand advertising thorough-

ly; one of them, on Broadway, has it
down to a science. Hard to tell what
will be the next suriirise.

Hoffmeyer, the up-town florist, had a
fine wedding decoration Wednesday of
this week at St. Thomas Church, on
Fifth avenue, and at the home of the
bride on West Seventy-eighth street.
Nothing but pink roses in every style
of arrangement, including an aisle of
rose trees now so popular here.

Joseph Leikens had a brilliant affair
last week at the St. Eegis, the reception
of Mrs. Judge Eockler, of Providence,
E. I., to eighty ladies. The effect was
entirely Japanese. The sunken table m
horseshoe was filled in the center with
Japanese evergreens and primroses. The
same effect was carried out around the
table by cut flowers and branches of the
same. The whole Louis XV floor was
beautifully decorated with pink and white
roses and carnations. In one of the
rooms a great Japanese vase with 100
long-stemmed Beauties was the only fea-
ture. The whole effect was quite out of
the ordinary. The ladies all wore camel-
lias.

White lilacs in pots, fancy tubs and
baskets are very popular. They come
from Boehrs and Steinhoff, and many re-
tail windows are made charming by
them.

The "Flower Girl," of Hoboken, died
on Sunday at the age of 82. She has
made a living for fifty years, selling
flowers at the balls and receptions over
there, and everybody knew her.

Julius Boehrs, Sr., is in Porto Bico.

Anton Schultheis, who has been very
ill, is now convalescing and full recovery
is hoped for.

The Market.

From all reports of the local retailers,
wholesalers and growers, despite winter's
mild weather, trade results have been
satisfactory. According to Mr. Ground-
hog, who came out on Friday, the city
florists will have pleasant weather, but
out in the country, the growers will
have six weeks more of winter. Monday
we had a deep snow and the coldest
weather so far this winter.

The up-town florists say that there is
considerable work going on for weddings

and other social events. They also re-
port that their section is now overrun
with funeral order solicitors, commonly
known as ' ' crape pullers. ' ' Counter
sales and funeral work is good with the
down-town florists.

As to stock, fancy roses are selling
well and are somewhat scarce. The de-
mand bids fair to continue brisk until
Lent. In the first and second grades the
market is well supplied, especially on
Brides and Maids. Red roses of all
kinds are scarce. There is a fair supply
of Beauties in all grades, with a steady
demand.

Carnations are selling well, with extra
fine quality of stock in the market. En-
chantress, any good white and Lawson
have the call. Stock cleans up fairly
well each morning, with top price $4
per hundred. Scarlets are not any too
many.

Bulbous stock is, as usual at this time

of the year, very plentiful in all lines.
Callas and Harrisii are selling well; so
are tulips and Dutch hyacinths. Free-
sias, Romans and Paper Whites drag
somewhat. Violets sold better the past
week, with not so many in the market.
The bulk of them are California. The
market has plenty of adiantum, smilax,
leueothoe sprays, galax and asparagus.
Common ferns have gone up.

Florists who carry blooming plants
say that trade was quite brisk the past
week.

Various Notes.

B. Eschner, of M. Rice & Co., Philadel-
phia, called on the trade the past week
with florists' supplies.

Adolph G. Fehr, of Belleville, visited
the wholesale houses the past week. He
reports a steady demand for design
work.

The Market.

February, the last month of the social
season, has opened briskly, the demand
for fancy roses keeping prices above the
average for this season. The supply is
wonderfully short. It seems as though
nearly all the growers were cutting less
than usual, despite the increased quan-
tity of greenhouses. Carnations are silso
in good demand, with the supply below
the average for February, the month
when carnations are at their best. Vio-

should, but better things are looked for
next week. St. Valentine 's usually creates
lively demand. Forget-me-nots appear
to be nearly out of market, inquiry at
the leading wholesale centers failing to
elicit information of any quantity ex-
pected for next week. The novelties of
the day are pale pink ten-week stocks at
Eugene Bernheimer's and double daffo-
dils (Narcissus Von Sion) at S. S. Pen-
nock's and W. J. Baker's. Greens are
scarcer than at any time this season,
the bunches of asparagus showing the
effect of the season's demand.

Two Flower Seeds.

Johnson & Stokes are making a spe-
cialty of asters. They report the six
leading varieties to be Truffaut 's Peony-
flowered, Queen of the Market, Comet,
Queen Victoria, HohenzoUern and Sem-
ple's Branching. Of these the first five
should be grown from German seed, the
last one, Semple's Branching, being the
only one that California produces in
really first-class form. This is of in-
terest, as the German seed costs from
fortjf to fifty per cent more than the
American. The disadvantage of our
home-grown aster seed is that the flowers
are more apt to come with a yellow disc
in the center and do not show the vigor
of the full and perfect German flowers.

In speaking of alyssum, Mr. Sherry, of
this firm, named three varieties: A.
maritimum,^ the true sweet alyssum; A.
maritimum Benthami and A. compactum
procumbens, the last named being the
true Little Gem so much prized for bas-
kets, borders, etc. Either the first or
second are superior for cut flowers.

Carnation Night.

The carnation meeting of the Florists'
Club, held Tuesday evening, February 6,
was a brilliant success. The attendance
was large and the interest keen. Ex-
hibits were very numerous and quality
excellent.

W. J. and M. S. Vesey, Fort Wayne,
Ind., sent Glendale in perfect condition.
Weber & Sons Co., Oakland, Md., sent
My Maryland, Jessica and No. 9, a
handsome fancy flower. Peter Fisher,
Ellis, Mass., sent Evalina and Beacon.
F. R. Pierson, Tarrytown, N. Y., brought
Winsor in grand shape, also White En-
chantress, Variegated Lawson and Helen
Gould. The Cottage Gardens, Queens, N.
Y., sent Eobert Craig, very fine. A. J.
Guttman, New York, brought a splendid
vase of Victory. J. E. Haines, Bethle-
hem, Pa., was present with the carnation
bearing his name. The Strafford Flower
Farm exhibited My Maryland, Lawson,
Lady Bountiful, Lieut. Peary and En-

chantress. John Kuhn exhibited No.
24, soft pink, and No. 15, deep pink.
Charles Leisy exhibited a number of
seedlings.

The speakers of the evening were
Robert Craig, F. R. Pierson, E. A.
Stroud, A. J. Guttman, Wm. Kleinheinz
and John E. Haines. ^.

Garrettsford.

Floriculturally Garrettsford is famous
as the residence of David Anderson, Wm.
Munro and James Verner. Garrettsford
has other claims to prominence. It is
beautifully situated, high rolling country,,
picturesque cottages scattered about, not
too closely, to take away from its rural
appearance, and last, but by no meana
least, Garrettsford has a station on the
new Chester trolley, which, as the inhabi-
tants tell you, will carry passengers to
City hall in twenty minutes. They look
at you earnestly when imparting this in-
formation to see whether you believe it
or no. In fact, I am somewhat inclined
to doubt whether they believe it them-
selves, as the railroad takes fully that
long, but when you consider that the cars
on this Chester trolley line are to cost
from $10,000 to $12,000 apiece and will
go through the subway, you are pre-
pared almost to believe the twenty min-
utes.

Wm. Munro, who achieved his repu-
tation as a Beauty grower with Myers &
Samtman and Kobt. Scott & Son, has the
place formerly run by James Anderson.
It is devoted to roses, Beauties, Brides,
Maids and Kaiserins being the varieties
^rowii. The last named have just been
•cut back and started for Easter, the
plants being very strong. The other
roses were clean and healthy, the foliage
showing that deep green that indicates
perfect root action, so difficult to secure
after a number of dark days.

Jas. Verner, who is right next door to
Mr. Munro, devotes his attention entirely
to Brides, Maids and Kaiserins. His
place justifies Mr. Munro 's comment that
it is always a pleasure to visit there, the
plants invariably being clean and
healthy, the place in perfect condition.
Mr. Verner was also at work on his
Kaiserins, giving the impression that
both his notebook and Mr. Munro 's must
■call for Febniary 1 as the time when
Kaiserins should be started on their
growing season, when Easter comes on
April 15.

David Anderson, whose place is just
around the corner, devotes his attention
to Brides and Maids exclusively, I think,
his stock of grafted plants being espe-
<5ial]y fine. It is pleasant to visit three
such clever growers, living so near to-
gether, helping each other, as good com-
rades should.

Various Notes.

A fire broke out in the boiler room of
the Millbrook Lea Greenhouses (Maull &
Howell), Whitford, Pa., last Saturday
•evening. It destroyed the boiler room,
the recent addition to the plant, and IJie
apartments of J. Lardner Howell. Mr.

Howell estimates the damage at $14,000.
Much sympathy is expressed.

J. .1. Habermehl's Sons decorated Hor-

on the evening of February 2. The
decorations were pronounced unusually
fine.

Wm. Thompson some time ago suc-
ceeded Mrs. Moore as manager for the
Finley Acker Co. 's flower store.

Alfred Burton is sending some excep-
tionally fine Liberties and Beauties to

J. A. Smith, of the Henry F. Michell
Co., speaks in glowing terms of the cor-
dial reception he received from the many
florists throughout the state on whom he
recently called. He only regrets having
missed John Merchant, of Sharon, Pa.,
whom he had looked forward to seeing
with pleasure.

H. Bayersdorfer & Co. have some ex-
quisite heart-shaped baskets of silk fiber
for St. Valentine's day.

John Savage, of Gwynedd, Pa., is send-
ing seme Madame De Watteville roses
to the Flower Market.

Edward Keid has joined the ranks of
the freesia specialists. His stock is very
fine.

Edward McConnell, son of an old-time
florist of Sharon, Pa., has taken charge
of a plant of about 25,000 feet of glass
for A. B. Service. The houses are de-
voted to carnations and lilies. It is a
model establishment with everything in
first class condition.

E. G. Hill, of Richmond, Ind., was a
visitor in this city last week.

[ note with pleasure the advanced
ideas of business integrity gaining favor
among our leading carnation specialists.

H. Weber & Sons Co., of Oakland, Md.,
deserve great credit for the notice with
regard to My Maryland. In line with
this is S. S. Pennock's notice to a cus-
tomer that Fiancee bursts its calyx in
this locality. This notice caused a can-
cellation of the order, but makes Mr.
Peunock immeasurably stronger with his
clientele.

Wm. K. Harris has a very fine house
of gardenias just coming in bloom. It
is understood they will be handled by
the Flower Market.

The Leo Niessen Co. has made a hit
with Acacia pubescens, which was in
great demand for the parties during the
past week.

W. E. McKissick is preparing for an
.active demand for wild smilax during
this month.

The Market

With colder weather prevailing, less
flowers are arriving than a week ago
and are bringing slightly better prices.
The fakers who have been handling
large quantities of flowers up to date
have been unable to ply their vocation
on one or two days of late, with the con-
sequence that a good many second and
third grade flowers have remained un-
sold at the markets.

Boses continue to sell very well ana
are not very plentiful. Best Beauties
make $50 and $60, Brides, Maids and
Chatenays from $3 to $16, only extra
select stock bringing the top price. Some
very nice Richmond are seen. They
sell at higher rates than Liberty. As
usual, Killarney sells well at about the
same rates as for Brides and Maids.
Some good Mrs. Oliver Ames and Mor-
gan are seen.

Carnations vary from $1.50 to $3, a
small number of fancies going higher.
Violets sell all the way from 25 cents
to 60 cents and sweet peas at 50 cents,
75 cents and $1.

Easter lilies and callas are quite plenti-
ful, averaging $8 per hundred. Double
and single yellow narcissi sell at $2 to
$3, tulips about the same price. Paper
Whites are too abundant and hard to
sell. Valley is not very plentiful at $3
to $4. Asparagus and adiantum sell very
well and are each a little soft at pres-
ent and none too abundant.

Various Notes.

W, W. Bawson, of Arlington, was the
speaker on February 3 in the regular
winter lecture course at Horticultural
hall. In the course of his remarks he
spoke on the advantages of electric light
for forwarding greenhouse crops. An
animated and interesting discussion fol-
lowed.

Anderson & Williams, of Waltham, are
handling some finely grown cyclamens at
the Park street market. They also sell
quantities of small ferns in pans.

Good Narcissus poeticus ornatus is
i-oming in from Frank T. White, Mann
Bros, and one or two other bulb special-
ists.

Preparations for the coming convention

of the American Bose Society are now
being actively pushed and there is every
prospect that the coming exhibition will
be the finest ever seen in America. Taken
in conjunction with the spring show of
the Massachusetts Horticultural Society
it will, of course, be much more exten-
sive and varied than the one seen at the
carnation convention. It has been de-
cided to hold the banquet at the Hotel
Brunswick. We hope to see some roses
from our western friends at the coming
show.

HT)ughton & Clark are showing, among
other flowers, some nice Chorizema ili-
cifolium and Lilium speciosum.

Carbone is showing some pretty made
up pans of Azalea Firefly, four small
plants to a pan, also the pretty pink
Azalea Temperance and nice gardenias.

Galvin is displaying some well flow-
ered plants of Dendrobium Wardianum,
also Cypripedium villosum and other
orchids.

Penn, on Bronifield street, always has
a neat window. Dendrobium nobile,
coelogynes and Cattleya Percivalliana
were noticeable in last week's arrange-
ment.

The members of the Music hall market
will be able to move into their new sales-
room at the end of the present week, the
alterations being almost completed.

The meeting of the Gardeners' and
Florists ' Club on February 20 should
prove a rousing one. Bobert Cameron's
lecture on his West Indian tour will
prove very fascinating. Exhibits will
be unusually numerous and as further
applications for membership are being
received, everything points to a first-
class gathering.

At a meeting of the North Shore Hor-
ticultural Society on February 2 a paper
was read by James Salter on vegetables.
P. B. Sanborn, on behalf of the club
and other members, in a felicitous speech
presented James McGregor, the respected
head gardener on Miss A. G. Thayer's es-
tate with a handsome roll-top desk and
chair. Mr. McGregor made a feeling re-
ply. The club is making active prepara-
tions for its annual banquet and ball on
February 15. A good delegation from
the Boston Gardeners' and Florisits'
Club will attend.

With the exception of 1876, the Jan-
uary just ended proved the warmest

BUFFALO.

Various Comment.

A sudden and decided change lias ar-
rived. Snow enough for a cutter to
slide, and the merc-ury down to 5 de-
grees below zero. This will shorten up
supply and also eustom, for the few peo-
ple who tell you they delight in frozen
noses arc too odd to indulge in our
products. They delight more in suck-
ing icicles and lunching off fried snow-
balls.

The visitors to Boston have arrived
home all the better for the hospitality
of our Boston friends and the sight of
the great flowers we saw, and all hands
feel delighted that the next convention
is so near. If it were summer it would
be a delightful boat ride across Lake
Ontario. As it is likely to be frigid
•weather, many will be inclined to save
car fare and skate across the forty miles
that separate the Dominion from the Re-
public.

Visitors have been plentiful of late,
among them Mr. Knickman, Rutherford,
N. J.; Benj. Hammond, Fishkill; Harry
Balsley, Detroit; A. Ringier, Chicago;
Mr. Zirkmann, representing Rice & Co.,
Philadelphia. Mr. Z. is such a clean-cut,
good-looking young man, with teeth as
immaculate as his linen, that it 's no
wonder he was captured quite young,
and was a husband and father at 21.
Such boys don 't wander around loose
very long.

The failure of Mr. Foss has been men-
tioned. The failure was worse than we
had first supposed. The stock in the
greenhouses was recently sold at $150.
"We believe this was the only asset, while
the liabilities amount to $10,000, mostly
borrowed money. Mr. Foss does not
seem to have been particular or partial
in spreading his favors in this line, but
toucher, rt wide circle of friends and
acquaintances, including several shrewd
bankers. Where all these contributions
■went is a mystery, but those most deeply
interested seem to trouble little to find
out. It's high finance all right, but not
frenzied and too deep for the ordinary
mortal to understand.

trade and who is in town, Kasting's
wholesale house is the place to learn it
;)11, and there we found Mr. Gilmann, of
violet fame, from Rhinebeck. Mr. Gil-
mann is a violet man ^nd there is no
spot or fly on him. As he ships his en-
tire product to Mr. Kasting, it is natu-
ral he should pay us a visit occasionally.
Mr. (jiilman says: "1 could grow vio-
lets in the neighl>orhood of Buffalo as
well as 1 do on the HutLson. " There is
no doubt about it, and he that says you
cannot grow violets in this or that local-
ity is laboring under a fallacy. They
have never really tried. They have given
up the struggle as soon as met by a
minute but stubborn foe. That is the
moment a good gardener fights and con-
quers. W. S.

CORFU, N. Y.

One wishing to be well repaid should
make a visit to the Wm. Scott Co. 's
Corfu place. Carnations as grown here
are the best I have seen this season.
Nine large houses are devoted to this
flower, but the variety that is first and
last to my mind in this place is Enchan-

tress, with its 3 Mi -inch bloom on a 3-foot
stem, and lots of them. White Lawson,
Queen, Bed Lawson, Mrs. Lawsof and
Harlowarden are grown and well thought
of. We found Boston Market here in
fine shape and Glacier fine but off crop.
Flamingo is good but a trifle shy. David
Scott says that with early cuttings he
thinks this variety will pay. Prosperity
here is all but what its name would in-
dicate. The plants are healthy and
fine but so shy that David says you
iiave to hunt to find the blooms. David 's
time these days is pretty well occupied
going from residence to his houses, as he
is recently the father of a young Scott
of the third generation and judging from
his smiles it is his first. Five houses
here are all devoted to roses, which are
looking well, but are now in light cut.

The toinperatiuv lias been more like
sprinjx tlian winter, no cold, stormy
weather of any kind. Business has been
somewliat better than last year. There
is not so much larj^e decoratnig this win-
ter but more funeral work.

At the banquet during our Freight
Rate Convention, there were 600 plates.
Boqnets of roses and carnations were
used on all but one table and on that
table, in the center, was a freight depot.
Bronze galax leaves were used for The
roof to represent shingles. A track was
made of No. 9 galvanized wire for rails,
with baby ribbon for ties. At the door
at either end of the depot was a small
engine and tender, with freight ears
laden with cigars and matches. Just
as the toastmaster began, the engine
started and each one helped himself to
a smoke. It was quite a card for the
occasion.

Chas. P ]\Iueller is making a success
in growing roses at his new greenhouses,
showing some very good fancy varieties.
He has just installed feeding tanks.
There is one large tank, 10x14 feet,
three feet deep. When manure is to be
put in. this tank is connected with a
steam pipe. When ready, the gate is
opened; llie liquid passes through three
screens of different sizes into a large
cistern and is there pumped up to a tank
by a windniill, using the regular water
pipe to conduct the liquid manure when
needed. Everything is doing fine. Tie
has a fine bed of violets and is cutting
good carnations. Business in his down-
town store is on the increase and it is
thought it will pay.

At some of the jirincipal onion seed
centers there is a feeling that the Cali-
fornia growers should confine their ef-
forts in :)iaking onion seed sales to seeds-
men only, or at least to growers who buy
in larger quantities than fifty-pound lots.

It is reported that a considerable
(juantity of onion seed of the red and yel-
low flat varieties is available. Investi-
gation fails to locate it, however, and
it is thought that the same lot has been
inventoried several times over and cred-
ited up to different individuals.

There is considerable activity in
onion sets. February shipments are go-
ing out in good shape. The quality of
the stock is all that could be desired.
The bulk of the quantity put into storage
last fall iuis carried well. The even tem-
perature of the winter has made it easier
than usual to winter the sets.

The demand for onion seed is in no
way lessened by the present drop in the
l)rice of onions. As reported in the Re-
view a week or two ago. there is a feel-
ing among the onion growers that the
next month will show a sharp advance in
the price of good sound bulbs and that
conditions warrant a firm holding of
such onions for the advance.

Reports in general indicate a healthy
condition of trade. Tfie wholesalers are
feeling good over the outlook, fill-in or-
ders are expected to be of good volume
and bookings for the coming year con-
tinue to come in in a satisfactory man-
ner. The houses which eater to the mar-
ket garden trade are busy and the mail

HOLLOW STALK OF CELERY.

1 have been very much interested in
the articles published in the late num-
bers of the Keview about celery. I grow
several thousand bunches every year, and
have had some trouble with it getting
hollow, and also with running to seed.
Last year I thinned my plants and trans-
planted the ones I took out as soon as
they were large enough to handle, cut-
ting off a small portion of the root and
also the top. I set them in the garden
the latter part of May. Those that had
been transplanted had an abundance of
fine roots, while those that were not
transplanted had a large tap root with
but few feeders, and most of them went
to seed, while those that had been trans-
planted did not run to seed. My ex-
perience is that early sown seed will
have to be transplanted. I would like to
hear what other celery growers think
about it. I was troubled very much with
ground mice eating my celery in Octo-
ber and November. Would like to know
how to got rid of them. H. C.

Oregon.

I was very much pleased with the ar-
ticles on hollow stalks of celery, pub-
lished in the Eeview of recent dates.
Mr. S. says he prepared his seed bed in
the open ground in January. Now would
that do here in xndiana? I have about
four acres of peat lake bottom and
raised a large crop of potatoes, sweet
corn and field corn. Now I want to
plant something that will pay better
than these crops. Could you suggest any-
thing? Ireland has its peat bogs; so
has Holland, and I would like to know
what pays best; also any suggestions
about draining and managing where tne
water level has its ups and downs. What
are the best works on market gardening
in Holland (English translation)?

Cloth, 12 mo, 191 pp. Price $1.25 postpaid.

A new book by Charles Johnson, author
of The Seedsman's Assistant.

This is a practical treatise on growing
vegetable and flower seeds and bulbs for
market or commercial purposes, describing
operations for each variety in detail, when
to plant, harvesting, drying and cleaning ;
with crop yield per acre, prices paid to
growers, market status, where the best seeds
are now grown, contract forms for growers,
how to originate new varieties, how to take
care of seeds.

The only complete work on seed growing
published in any country.

The chapter on raising, cleaning, storing
and keeping onion sets is itself worth the
price of the whole book. The same can be
said of chapters on other varieties, beans,
cabbage, corn, cucumbers, melon, peas, to-
matoes, etc. Every seedsman, every florist,
every gardener, every farmer should have
a copy. Know how the best seeds are
grown. The more you know about seeds
the better.

HOW TO GROW AMARYLLIS.

Some of our customers having com-
plained at different times that they do
not succeed with their amaryllis, we
offer a few suggestions, which, if intel-
ligently followed out, will produce satis-
factory results.

Amaryllis may be had in bloom from
January to July without any trouble,
but nine failures out of every ten in
growing these bulbous plants are caused
through watering the bulbs at starting
time, or before the flower-spike is vis-
ible.

The right time for repotting the bulbs
is at the beginning of January, but
there must be a frequent examination of
stock for repotting, as in a large batch
there is always a great difference in the
growth.

When potting, cover the thicker part
of the bulb with soil composed of two
parts turfy loam, one part river sand,
and one part leaf-mold and some well
decomposed cow manure. Then the pots
should be plunged up to the rims in a
bed of tan, and started in a tempera-
ture of about 55 degrees. Take care
the plants are put where they will re-
ceive a fair amount of light. Commence
to give water about twice a week after
the flower-bud is visible. In a tem-
perature of 60 to 65 degrees (if not
plunged in tan, 65 to 70 degrees), the
amaryllis will soon push up their flower
stems. When in full bloom, watering
will be necessary at least thrice a week,
but discontinue watering when the
foliage shows signs of dying off, and
when it shrivels remove the pots to a
frost-free and dry shelf, and keep the
bulbs quite dry until January.

When at rest, from October to Janu-
ary, water should be withheld, and,
moreover, amaryllis do not require
water before the flower-spike is visible,
some two to four weeks after starting.

TUBEROUS BEGONIAS.

When should tuberous begonias be
started to have them in bloom for the
third week in May? Please give brief
cultural directions. P. O.

If you want these begonias for flower
gardening the less they are forced under
glass the better. To have them attrac-
tive plants by the third week in May,
start in 3-inch pots the first of March
and shift on as they grow. A soil that is
one-third leaf mold and sand and two-
thirds decayed sod will suit them well.
If for floAver garden, start in flats from
the middle to the end of March and
when they have made a few leaves pot
into 4-ineh and place in a mild hotbed.

A GORGEOUS
NOVELTY

The most gorgeous colored Sweet Pea yet introduced. It may be termed a self Oorgpeons,
having a rich orange salmon standard, and falls or wings still a trifle deeper color, giving a
rich, fiery orange or deep sunset color to the whole flower, very striking and unique. It has
caused quite a sensation wherever shown during the past year.

Color a deep rosy carmine self, the same form as GLADYS UNWIN, with the prettily waved

is quite sunproof and perfectly fixed. The stems are long and stout, and it may be described
as A OIAVT IM EVBST «»AY.

Each of above novelties, $14.60 per 100 packets;
$1.75 per doz. (Retail, 26 cents).

TUls finest ot all Pink Sweat Peas we introduced last season. It Is a striking

OlADTS nVWZN has a very large and bold flower, not hooded, but with a very striking
upright crinkled or wavy standard, and broad wings. Color, a pale rosy pink A strik-
ing feature is that about 75 per cent of the long flower stems are with tour blooms, which
is a most unusual thing in Sweet Peas. It was first raised four years ago, viz., in 1901. and
has kept perfectly true and fixed in character each year since and we have no hesitation
in saying it is a bona-flde departure in pinks. For market growers especially it cannot be
surpassed, and is just the lovely pink color which Is so much in demand. 94'60 per pound.

PEOElAi-ILL.

February 27 and 28, liave been sel^ted
as the dates of the meeting .qf the at^te
convention of florists, which wiH- be hgld
in Peoria and at which a state' opganiza-.
tion will be perfected. The event will
be made a flower show at which tjie large
growers of Peoria and other cities of the
state will have exhibits.

Chicago florists announce that they are
coming in force^^> A number of thejn
have but recentl|B^turned from the car-
nation show at Boston and will come to
Peoria enthusiastic over the results of
that affair.

The convention will select a committee
to go to Springfield and urge an appro-
priation for the establishment of an ex-
periment station at the State University
which the florists of the state have been
advocating for some time. Between 150
and 200 delegates will be here and the
convention will close with a big banquet
given by the recently organized Peoria
association, to the visitors.

The following are the officers of the
Peoria organization: President, Chas.
Loveridge; secretary, James U. Cole;
banquet committee, G. A. Kuhl, Nelson
Cole, B. Juerjegpjf decoration committee,
Nelson Cole, j\T^. Klopper, Mr. Brothers,
Mr. Miller.

CANDIDUM LILIES.

When should candidum lilies be started
to have them bloom for Easter? Please
state briefly how they are best handled.

P. O.

Lilium candidum is usually potted in
September and October, stood in cold
frame until December 1 and then brought
into temperature of 50 degrees. If they
do not promise to be in flower by Easter,
10 degrees higher temperature can be
given the last month. As they are in-
clined to grow tall and rather weak-
stemmed they should at all times have
the fullest light. W, S.

PERRY FLORISTS' ASSOCIATION.

The midwinter meeting of the Perry
Florists' Association was held January
30, 31, and February 1 at the green-
houses of A. N. Kinsman and wife, Aus-
tin, Minn. Those present were: W. B.
Perry, of Cresco; Mr. Springer and wife,
of New Hampton; Messrs. Sherman,
Wetherbee and Crome, of Charles City;
Wheeler, of Mason City; Clawson, of
Albert Lea, and Hall, of Osage. All
were disappointed that Mr. and Mrs.
Symonds, of Decorah, could not be
with us.

The exhibit was good and showed
some fine grown stock, C. C. Pollworth
Co., of Milwaukee, being represented in
this line. Among other pleasant fea-
tures of the meeting was a trip to Owa-
tonna to visit the Clinton Falls Nursery

Co. 's greenhouses. Everything there
looked fine and showed good manage-
ment. At the close of the meeting an
invitation from Mr. and Mrs. Wheeler,
of Mason City, was accepted to meet
with them next summer. Mr. Wheeler
was then elected president of the asso-
ciation and W. S. Hall secretary and
treasurer.

PACIFIC COAST.

SAN FRANOSCX).

The Market

We are in the midst of an unexpected
spell of warm weather, the thermometer
reaching 80 degrees in the shade several
days during the past week. In conse-
quence, fiowers of all kinds are coming
into town with considerable rapidity and
the prices are lowering considerably.

We have had the first good crop of bul-
bous stock during the past week. Nar-
cissi and daffodils are being offered by
the thousands and violets can be had at
any price. Carnations have felt the de-
cline in prices somewhat and a reduction
of about 20 per cent has been the aver-
age all along the Une. Eoses still con-
tinue rather scarce and it will be several
weeks before they will be in supply
enough to get lower in price. The only
really scarce article at present is maid-
enhair fern. The wild varieties are not
yet in in sufficient quantities to assist
the dealers and until they become plenti-
ful, the short stemmed, closely cut stock
will have to be used. Business is very
good.

Various Notes.

Jas, J. Karins, representing Henry A.
Dreer, of Philadelphia, is in town.

The Society Hortensia, of Alameda
county, has changed its place of meeting
to Gier's Hall, Oakland.

L. D. Fairbanks has gone on a two
weeks' trip to Portland, Ore.

E. Hoffman, the landscape gardener
of San Jose, is in town.

Owing to the large sales of hardy
palms for sidewalk planting there is a
scarcity of large sized stock in the local
nurseries.

A great deal of funeral work was
made in town on Friday of this week for
the funerals of the firemen who lost their
lives on the government transport Meade.

The orchid houses of J. C. Siegfried, of
Alameda, are in excellent shape at this
time and the display of cattleyas is the
finest ever seen here.

A. D. Pryal, of Berkeley, is planting
large quantities of dracsenas on College
avenue.

G. Rossi represents the violet maftet

as being entirely glutted. The bottom

fell out of prices during the past week

and the flowers can be had at any price.

G.

OUTDOOR ROSES FOR CUTTING.

The grower who expects to have a good
crop of outdoor flowers on his roses for
the early spring should keep in mind
that this is quite late enough to prune,
and if anything of the kind is required
one spell of warm weather will quickly
start the dormant branches into fresh
growth and opportunities will then be
lost. It is the proper season now to dig
and cultivate between the plants and
apply plenty of manure. It is probable
that we shall still have some heavy
rains, but with plenty ot mulching over
the surface there is no danger of the
soil becoming too hard.

Regarding pruning, it should \)i kept
in mind that there is much more danger
of over-pruning than in not cutting
enough. Many of our finest varieties
need the least trimming; in fact, it acts
to many sorts as a severe detriment and
the shears should only be trusted in
the hands of a skilled workman. The
general rule, however, is to trim away
all the small, weak wood and save the
heavy, straight canes after topping them,
'xhis always encourages a growth of
heavy, straight stems and they are what
the grower is after.

It is noticeable that there is a growing
demand for outdoor grown rose flowers
in the early spring. Not but that they
could be sold at any time, but there are
so few grown in proportion to the
amounts cut under glass that the public
has little chance to obtain them. Many
of the varieties considered the least sat-
isfactory under glass are among the most
magnificent when flowered outdoors.
Quite a number of kinds were tried under

glass first and after several years were
superseded by other kinds. I might re-
fer to Papa Gontier as one of these.
This rose, when well grown and under
proper treatment, is the most prolific of
pink sorts. It is almost too single when
grown inside, but when planted in the
open it makes large, heavy buds of a
most beautiful shade of deep, rosy pink,
fully half a dozen degrees darker than
those from under glass. This sort is a
strong growing variety and an abundant
bloomer. Rainbow comes under the same
heading and, like the foregoing, when
well grown outside leaves nothing to be
desired for a good selling variety. La
France is usually not quite so prolific
of bloom and cannot always be depended
on to produce perfect flowers.

Among the white sorts Gloire Lyon-
naise is considered one of the most satis-
factory. It has the quality of always
forming long, heavy stems and the size
and shape of the blossoms are perfect.
Ulrich Brunner is much more desirable
outside in any event. It is not an ever-
blooming rose even at its best and for
this reason it is not forced to any large
extent. It ^cts well when in the open
and is another of the varieties that need
little recommendation. Mrs. John Laing
is another of the same class and its color
cannot be duplicated with anything
grown inside. It is surprising, when
one commences to think, how few varie-
ties are grown in the greenhouse and
what a list of the discarded sorts we
have planted largely outside and find
them the best of the marketable kinds,

St. Louis, secretary of the council.

An all-day session was held, the princi-
pal subject for discussion being the
method of putting into operation the
plan already determined upon of supply-
ing to the public press rational, instruc-
tive horticultural matter which will be of
benefit to the several branches of the
trade represented in the council. It was
determined to place the preparation of
the matter in the hands of representa- '

tive men from four departments of the
trade and to send it out through a press
agent. A considerable sum of money
has been contributed by firms in the trade
to defray the expense necessary to the
carrying out of the plans.

TEXAS NURSERYMEN MEET.

The Texas Nurserymen 's Association
met at Palestine, Tex., on January 25,
as reported briefly in last week 's Review.

The meeting was called to order by
President E. W. Kirkpatrick, who stated
the object to be to consider the coming
convention of the American Association
of Nurserymen at Dallas, and to con-
sider ways and means for proper hand-
ling and entertainment.

Members of the entertainment com-
mittee, appointed by the State Nursery-
men 's Association, announced that they
were making elaborate preparations and
that it would necessitate the raising of
a strong fund to be placed at their dis-
posal. A motion prevailed that the sec-
retary open the books at once for sub-
scriptions, and a good liberal subscrip-
tion by those present was realized. The
finance committee were admonished to
raise not less than $2,500 for use in the
entertainment of this convention.

The program committee of the Ameri-
can Association, J. S. Kerr, of Sherman,
chairman, reported progress. The fore-
noon sessions only will be given to
addresses, and to reports of committees,
while the remainder of the time will be
given to entertainment of the visitors.
Luther Burbank and Prof. Wickson, of
California, have been invited to attend
and take part in the program. The pro-

gram committee further reported that
the transportation committee and the
legislative committee will be given ample
time to lay before the convention the
good work these committees have done,
the former the important concessions
they have been able to secure in trans-
portation rates on nursery stock, the lat-
ter upon the good work they are doing
in getting uniform interstate regulations
in the inspection laws.

A letter from the Western Asso-
ciation of Nurserymen outlines that this
association will meet at Kansas City and
come to Dallas in a body. Mr. Knox
has had made a large number of rubber
stamps containing a star and in it the
sentence, ' ' Texas invites you to Dallas
in 1906. ' ' Texas nurserymen are re-
quested to Tise these stamps on their
stationery on letters going out of the
state.

SANBORN. N. Y.

On a visit at the place of C. F. Treich-
ler everything was found in a prosper-
ovis condition. Mr, Treichler makes a
specialty of carnations and, though be-
ing a grower only four years, he now
has a modest place of 10,000 feet and
has the glass at hand for one additional
house 30x150 which will be built this
spring. He is one of those honest, hard-
working fellows who is bound to make a
success. Here we found housed 8,000 car-
nations in the pink of condition and we
are told be is having a steady cut of
4,500 per week. For pink, Enchantress
and Lawson are grown and are highly
thought of, and in red, Red Lawson and
Crane. In white he has Queen and
Queen Louise. Queen will be grown
moderately next year. Queen Louise will
be dropped. While it gives oceans of
iflowers they nearly all burst. The new
varieties taken on for next year include
Lady Bountiful, Lieut. Peary, White
Lawson and Variegated Lawson. B.

KANSAS QTY.

The Market*

February business has started off with
a rush. All the stores report a big^ in-
•crease over last week's business. Prices
fitill rule high, but people seem to be
more willing to pay good prices for good
•quality than ever before. The faker is
in hard lines in this city, as the people
Jiere have at last been educated up to
the fact that high grade stuff is in
reality the cheapest and the demand for
•cheap stuff is on the decline.

Various Notes.

Samuel Murray says that he did the
largest business last week that he has
-ever done since he has been in business
Jiere. He says that the flower business
is only keeping pace with the remarkable
growth of the city. Miss M. Dalley also
■Bays that her business has been some-
thing remarkable for this time of the
year. Arthur Newell also did a heavy
business. From all the stores comes the
•same report, ' ' Business something re-
markable; better than ever before."

The Shaeffer Floral Co. received a con-
■signment of Lawson carnations from Ra-
ton, N. M., Friday. Although they were
■shipped this long distance in an ordi-
nary pasteboard box, without ice, they
arrived in good shape.

A. Blankenfeld has a bench of Chinese
primulas that are a sight. They are the
finest specimens we have seen for some
time.

Miss Shiras is doing a fine business
and has had to add to her force of clerks
to accommodate her increasing trade.

If business continues as it has started
•out this year there will be a building
boom among the florists. Several new
ranges of houses have already been
planned.

Our little spell of summer weatlier ter-
minated in a blizzard Sunday.

J. M. Jansen, of Hillegom, Holland
■was in the city last week. Kay-See.

White Perfection

PURE WHITE* The most satisfactory white carnation ever offered to the trade. A true
florists' variety that is of the largest size and best form. It leads in production of blooms and the habit
is perfect. It is the first in bloom and at all times throughout the entire season gives an even cut of
flowers that cannot be equaled by any other variety. It opens quickly and does not burst the calyx.
It is perfectly healthy in every relSpect. The orders booked to date exceed the sales of any white variety
we have yet sent out, Place your order early. Price, $12.00 per lOO; $100.00 per 1000.
We have a large stock and cuttings are of the best grade.

We can supply Robt. Craig, Victory, Joiin C. Haines, My Maryland, Candace
and Glendaie at introducers' prices— $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000.

VILLIAMSVILLE, N. Y.

Byrne Bros, have three fine King
houses devoted to growing stock for
their Buffalo store. This place is under
the care of Henry Weber and, judging
from appearances, he is the right man.
The stock all looks well. A house of
carnations is a feature. Harrisii lilies
show up badly diseased. Longiflorums
are good, but a little slow. A quantity
of spring bedding stock is to be seen,
also a fine lot of azaleas and Easter
plants.

At C. B. Shisler's everything is tilled
to overflowing. A specialty is made
of geranium stock for the trade. Car-
nations are grown in moderate quantity.
A carnation house 25x100 is planned
for this coming summer. A fine lot of
Longiflorum lilies are in evidence, also
a quantity of spring bedding stock. A
bed of Asparagus plumosus strings is
fine. Mr. Shisler plants 10,000 to 15,000
geraniums in the field for cuttings and
a trip to his geranium field in midsummer
affords a sight long to be remembered.

Tobias Shank has the glass for a
carnation house to be built this spring.

TAHRYTOWN, N. Y.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Tarrytown Horticultural Society was
held January 30, President Joseph
Mooney in the chair. The following
were elected to active membership of
the society: Edwin Jenkins, Lenox,
Mass.; Francis Black, Ossining, N. Y. ;
E. M. Berrien, Tarrytown, N. Y. ; Philip
Jewell, Irvington, N. Y. The monthly
exhibit and prize, a handsome clock,
given by Joseph Bradley, Dobbs Ferry,
for the best twelve sprays of mignonette,
was won by John Featherstone, Grey-
stone, Yonkers, with a dozen beautiful
spikes. Joseph Bradley received hon-
orable mention for a fine vase of Her
Majesty mignonette. The dates for the
annual fall exhibition to be held in the
Music haU, Tarrytown, will be October
30, 31 and November 1. The event of
the evening was the reading of an essay
on mignonette, by Joseph Bradley.
The paper was well received and a
hearty vote of thanks accorded to Mr.
Bradley for his able effort. An inter-
esting discussion followed in answer to
the questions found in the question box.
Several of the members took part.

TheWcckly Horists* Review.

Fbbbuaby 8, 1906.

DETROIT.

The Market.

Business remains about the same. The
weather has taken on more of a winter
aspect, it being cold and clear, with sev-
eral inches of snow on the ground, pro-
ducing a marked improvement in some
stock. Roses are a scarce article in
tlie market. Carnations sell about as
fast as they make their appearance, with
the exception of Lawson, The market
is fairly drugged with this variety
which seems to be getting poorer every
day. Shipments from different growers
all have the same fault, the flowers are
considerably smaller than formerly and
crippled; in fact, about the only good
feature left is the stiff stems and these
seem to be much shorter.

Hyacinths, tulips, daffodils, narcissi
and spring flowers in general are in
great demand and as the market is well
supplied in this respect, this will no
doubt give carnations a chance to catch
up. iioth single and double violets are
very good at present and are selling well
at 75 cents and $1 per -andreu.

The plant end of the business is re-
markably good this year.

Various Notes.

In a recent trip to Boston I had the
pleasure of visiting the private place
of Lars Anderson, at BrooK^ine, where
the greenhouses and gardening are very
ably conducted by Duncan Finlayson.

In this estate is one of the most com-
plete Italian gardens in America, over
100 bay and box trees, from the small
swan shaped box to the large stately
bay, are used in its completion, these at

E resent being in their winter quarters.
a. the greenhouses were a general assort-
ment of plants and flowers, including
some fine orchids, all stock being above
the average in appearance.

Harmonic hall was elaborately deco-
rated by J. F. Sullivan for the Knights
of St. John's ball.

LYNN, MASS.

Lynu, with its $40,000,000 annual
business in shoes, with the enormous
General Electric factories dispensing
$100,000 weekly to employes, besides
many other industries, should be heard
from of tener in our profession, for there
are some up-to-date establishments and
some thoroughly good fellows of both
sexes in the business here.

Reports are that Delansky will build
this spring.

Jas. Miller of Wm. Miller & Sons, re-
cently purchased two acres of land in
West Lynn, probably with the inten-
tion of building later.

Love & May, who formed a co-partner-
ship last season, report an excellent
plant business during the past year, with
bright prospects for the future. They
have most of our parks and public
grounds to plant each season, the same

a propagating house, cold storage, and
a coal bin with a capacity of forty tons.

ORANGE, N. J.

The annual installation feast of the
New Jersey Floricultural Society was
held at its rooms on February 2. The
evening was spent in social intercourse,
with music and refreshments. Among
the speakers were J. Austin Shaw, Chas.
H. Totty and Arthur Herrington. The
floral display was not only large but
choice, and included orchids, roses and
carnations and many other flowers. Car-
nation Victory was exhibited by Gutt-
man & Weber, Winsor, Helen M. Gould
and White Enchantress by F. E. Pierson
Co., and vases of cut orchid blooms from
Lager & Hurrell and Thomas Jones, be-
sides a large showing from the neigh-
boring estates filled the room. The
judges for the evening were C. H. Totty,
Arthur Herrington and Robert M.

summer and autumn months. For bed-
ding purposes, ro plants are more suita-

ble; they are not damaged by rough and
wet weather, as, unfortunately, many bed-
ding eubjects are. I am convinced that
when the improved pentstemons become
better known their value will be appre-
ciated, and I strongly advise all who
have not yet given them a trial to do so
without delay.

To have pentstemons at their best, a
border not less than six feet wide should
be devoted entirely to them. The most
suitable position is one facing south,
or southwest, where all the light and sun
can reach the plants. Select a site that
is not overshadowed by large trees, but,
if there is a background, such as a
hedge, so much the better.

The preparation of the ground is an
important item, and if one has light soil
to deal with, it is advisable to trench or
dig it deeply, adding plenty of vell-
'tl^Q^Yi^d manure, and atoty heavy mat«l)lal
which IS to spare. This can settle down
before planting time arrives. On the
other hand, if one has a heavy loam or
clay soil, the trenching is best deferred
till very early in the spring, and, in ad-
dition to well-rotted manure, any light
material, such as road-grit, wood-ashes,
and the like should be freely incorpo-
rated. Pentstemons respond well to liberal
treatment, and root deeply in search of
moisture during dry weather. Therefore,
one will be well rewarded for any extra
trouble which is taken in connection with
preparing the soil. — Gardeners' Maga-
zine.

Palms as Street Trees.

Fan palms fifty to sixty feet in height
are ornamental and a distinct novelty,
with smooth trunk and crown of green
leaves high in the air, but the dead
leaves hanging closely to the trunk be-
low the green crown detract from its
beauty and I cannot commend it for
street planting; especially when of
younger growth, the spiky parts of the
leaves are on a level with your eyes. The
fan palm and the pepper tree seem to
divide the honors in California and both
are used very largely and almost to the
exclusion of other trees for street plant-
ing. The foliage of the pepper tree is
beautiful and glossy, but the trailing
branches hang like those of a weeping-
willow and are only a little less^. annoy*
ing than the palm leaves, while the im-
mense crop of berries keeps the walk
dirty and slippery. Some day when
these trees grow larger and taller they
will add a distinct feature to the towBS
but it seems a pity that when there are
so many more graceful and suitable
trees for street planting that these two
should be used exclusively, as they are
much better adapted for individual
specimens on the lawn.

Near Ventura is the Cole bulb farm,
where callas and freesias are grown by
the acre, but these were just starting
into growth after their summer rest and
of course did not present the display
that they would in the spring. Near
Oceano I saw carnations growing in a
garden which were finer in plant and
flower than any I have ever seen in a
greenhouse, the plants being sturdy
and symmetrical, with beautiful foliage
and stiff, erect stems surmounted by the

finest and most symmetrical flowers; no
stake or support was needed, and here
should be the perfect field for the work
of the hybridizer and seeker after ne-
varieties.

At Pasadena I saw on the lawns a
number of beautiful specimens of
Phoenix reclinata, ten to twenty feet in
height and of most symmetrical form,
but this was the only one of the fiuer
palms that I saw used to any extent in
California. It seems to me that our
large palm growers should work up this
field and encourage California planters
to make use of the seaforthia, latania,
kentia, etc., which have a more graceful
appearance than the old fan palm, with
its spiky leaves and thread-like fila-
ments.

In the vicinity of Santa Barbara are
large lemon orchards nestling in the val-
leys between the hills, wherever there
is an opening with a supply of water
for irrigation. Just below Santa Bar-
bara there is a beautiful place on the
seashore called Mirainar, consisting of
small cottages each surrounded with a
fresh green lawn, also a country club
with spacious grounds, all with the
greenery of our suburbs and a splendid
view of the sea.

At Los Angeles.

Just before reaching Los Angeles, the
train passes through several miles of
strawberry fields closely planted, with
just room to walk between the rows and
all under irrigation, but one has to look
twice to recognize this well known plant^
as each leaf looks as though it had just
been washed, waxed and varnished.
Looking along the rows every once in a
while you sefe a plant with a large clus-
ter of ripe berries, not a crop at all,
but say one plant in twenty-five with
ripe fruit, and affording a good picking
from the large area, and as the winter
seasdn advances they become more plen-
tiful: A little nearer Los Angeles, in
fact just outside of the city, there is a
pigeon establishment with 30,000 breed-
ing birds, the whole arrangement con-
sisting simply of orange boxes piled in
tiers for nests and covered with wire
netting supported by rough poles. In
the Los Angeles markets I saw huge piles
of the Winter Pineapple muskmelons
labeled "fine Casabas" which must
have originated in the imagination of
some grower who had never seen the
true type of the fine old Casaba, as noth-
ing more distinct could have been con-
jured in the garden.

The giant redwoods near Vera Cruz
resemble an enormous growth of hem-
lock spruce many times magnified and
these trees increase in size as one ascends
the mountains, culminating in a grove
of fine trees averaging 300 feet in
height in a valley near the summit. This
grove has been enclosed for a park and
will be preserved tor future generations.

On many ranches there are groves of
eucalyptus planted closely together,
twenty to twenty-five years ago and
now seventy-five to 100 feet in height,
with trunks as straight as an arrow, but
so far no use has been found for this
tree excepting for fire-wood and it is
about as ornamental as the Carolina
poplar.

Among the disappointments of the
trip was that I did not see any San Jose
scale at San Jose. Although I inquired
for it repeatedly no one seemed to be
acquainted with this small pest, which
is raising so much commotion here, ex-
cept by reputation.

State of Business.

All the florists I have seen are busy
propagating bedding stock and, judg-
ing by the amount that is being rooted,
they are looking forward to a large
business this coming spring. There is
a large amount of shrubs and herbaceous
stuff being planted and the indications
are that landscape work will increase
rapidly.

Carnations in most of the places visited
are looking fine. Experiments are being
made with some of the newer varieties,
but I cannot as yet see any improve-
ment on the older sorts. There are some
fine blooms grown of The Belle but I
hardly think it will meet the require-
ments of this country. Fiancee has an
exquisite color and large flower, but as
yet does not produce enough bloom to
justify extensive growing. Lawsons,
which do not make much stem, are now-
growing finely and my experience so
far is that if planted early tliey will
give good results. Queen Louise is grown
in some sections to perfection, while in

other places it has proved a failure.
Wolcott does finely as far as I can see,
and seems to stand the sudden changes of
the climate without a burst calyx. Kh-
telle does not quite come up to what was
expected of it, while America gives the
best of results. Enchantress is now at
its best, being full of buds with stems
two to three feet long and brings the
top price.

Valley has never been grown iiuicli
here, and is really a novelty, and is
eagerly snapped up, prices ranging from
.$1 to $l.~yO per dozen. Narcissi, in fact
all bulbous stock, sells on sight, and good
prices are realized.

Sudden change of weather conditions
is what the growers have to contend
with. Tlie thermometer may read 80
degrees today and tomorrow, with a
sudden cliange of wind, may drop to 22
degrees. Such conditions keep us here
ever on the alert and we are glad when
spring comes to relieve the tension.

LANCASTER, N. Y.

W. J. Palmer's establishment contains
300,000 teet of glas^ and is devoted al-
most entirely to roses and carnations.
"When you enter the place you will un-
doubtedly meet that whole-souled fellow,
Barney Meyers, in whose care this place
is. It is a pleasure to have his com-
pany through house after house so well
grown that you are compelled to ask
how he does it. It is seldom that you
come across a place of this size all in
such fine shape. You find here numerous
varieties in carnations, but you might
term this place the home of Lawson, as
three-fourths are of this variety in pink,
white, red and variegated. You ask
Barney what is his best variety and he
will promptly say Eed Lawson. Lawson
here has again sported several different
ways. A fine non-bursting white, pink
aad red variegated and a Prosperity
color should be acquisitions. Fiancee
is here as you see it everywhere, a fine
color and stem, but ninety-five per cent
split. Robert Craig is here on trial, a
fine bloomer and quite free. Its great-
est fault found here is an • inclination
to get sleepy too soon.

Roses are in fine shape. One large
house is being planted with Kaiserin for
summer blooming. A fine lot of longi-
florum lilies and quantities of Easter
plants are in their stages of growth, as
well as a constant supply of bulbous
stock which is forced. The output of
this place is sold through Mr. Palmer's
Buffalo stores and you can judge the
volume of his business when he tells you
he still has to buy. C. B. S.

Schenectady, I*j. Y. — J, E. Felthou-
sen is at Dunedin, Fla,, and expects to
remain there mntil some time in April.
The plant business is starting in well

In our little talk together last week you admitted that there
was a difference in castings — that the kind of iron had a lot
to do with it; that **scrap** did not make a high-class casting.
Now, the cast-iron foot piece, going 2^ feet in the ground and
bolted direct on the rafter post, is the vital supporting part of our
houses; it's the part that carries the weight, the part most sub-
ject to rust corrosion. Don't you think it is important to have
this **hoId up** made the best possible? Isn't the foundation
^'firm a$ a rock" the kind of a foundation you want ?

Half a century we have been building houBes
The first house we ever built stands today and
we expect it to stand. Don't you think a house

Minneapolis, Minn., Jan. 12, 1906.
Mb. John Monson. Minneapolis, Minn.

Dear Sir— Regarding the new rose. Miss Kate
Moulton, I wish to say that I have been
acquainted with it from its birth, and I believe it
has come to stay with us as we certainly wish it
to do. I have been handling it in my retail store
to the best trade in the city for the last four years
and I have found this, that side by side wltli
Bridesmaid and Cliatenay, invariably my
customers cboose Miss Kate Moulton in
preference to the other pink roses, as the color
and size of flowers are morp superb, and its last-
ing after cut so much better.

I am so well pleased with this rose that I prefer
to handle it rather than any other pink rose now
on market, and I consider this rose a grand con-
tribution to all lovers of beautiful flowers,
among which I class the Miss Kate Moulton.

Yours truly, 0. C. SWANSON.

Mr. John Monson. Minneapolis, Minn.

Dear Sir— I am pleased to state that the Moul-
ton roses shipped to me were received in excel-
lent condition. There was a gathering of florists
in the building iind about forty florists were in
and looked at them: Mr. Samuelson admired
them, as did Mr. Wienhoeber. These roses added
greatly to the beauty of my store and were
greatly admired by all who saw them. I would
ask what price you will make me to ship fifty
Moultons three times per week. If possible.
Trusting you will favor me with a prompt and
favorable reply and thanking you for care taken
in packing and shipping these roses, I remain
Yours very respectfully, A. LANGE.

Genistas.

This is a good time to put in cuttings
1' genista (cytisus). Don't take for a
utting a small single growth, but use a
ittle branch with several shoots and en-
deavor to have with it what is known to
gardeners as a heel. These will root as
readily as the young, tender shoots and
you have the foundation of a strong,
young plant. Booted now (perhaps a
week or two earlier would be better) you
can have a plant as large as desirable
for Easter of 1907, providing you do not
allow them to become stunted in their
growing season.

Australians.

Those who were fortunate enough to
attend the recent Boston carnation con-
vgntion must have seen in the small hall
what we will call the side show. Among
many beautiful plants an^. flowers there
were a few plants of Chorizema ilici-
iOlium. There are several species of this
small shrub, but the above is the most
useful to the florist or private gardener.
'Ihis pretty plant belongs to that large
class of small, hard-wooded plants known
for many years by European gardeners
as New Holland plants, because, I be-
lieve, the island continent of Australia
was called New Holland for a while
after its coasts were explored. It will
be noticed that these antipodean plants
have not lost their inherent instinct to
grow in our winters and rest ia sum-
mer, as our January is their midsummer
and their July the aepth of our winter.
As specimens of Australian small shrubs
I might mention eriostemon, metrosi-
deros and others.

The Chorizema.

The chorizema is a beautiful decora-
tive plant. The flowers of ilicifolium are
pea-shaped, orange red. It propagates
now from the young growths and should
be grown right along. Peat is very suit-
able as a potting son, but in its absence
chopped up turf with leaf -mold and sand
w^i do very well. Large plants can be
plunged outside in the summer months,
but young plants are better kept plunged
on the bench under glass and all the rest-
ing it requires is to slightly withhold
water. It l^cars clipping, or cutting into
shape, and flowers profusely in January
and February. . All the heat it requires
in winter is 45 degrees to 50 degrees.

Eriostemon I can say little about. It
is many years since we had the care of
one, but we remember that although a
very pretty plant that Avill bear training
into a fine bush, it is not sliowy enough
to be of much profit to the commercial
florist.

Salvia Splendens.

I trust you will not forget the present
great popularity of the scarlet sage,
Salvia splendens. Each year there are
more and more asked for. After the
frost has nipped our cannas and coleus,
and perhaps geraniums, the salvia shines
in warmth and harmonizes with the
orange and scarlet tints of the oaks,
maples and ampelopsis. If you propa-

gate too early you must keep them grow-
ing or they get stunted and are quickly
attacked by red spider. But you should
be in a position to put in a lot of cut-
tings about the first of March.

Propagating Bedders.

Lemon verbena should be propagated
now. Only the tender young growths
that start from rested plants will root
and these should have bottom heat, copi-
ous daily watering of the sand and no
bright sun on them.

All other bedding plants that are
propagated by cuttings should go on
lively now, coleus, acalypha, achyranthes
and others.

The Vincas.

If you lifted any vincas from the
ground last fall now is the time to puil
the roots to pieces. They will bear di-
viding to any extent and small pieces
with a few shoots will go into 3-inch or
4-inch pots and soon send up vigorous
shoots from the old crown, which will
make much finer plants than any struck
from cuttings. In looking at a lot lately
divided, our vase specialist remarked a
good job when the vinca is the only vase
or basket vine grown. The ivy geranium
flowers no more when put outside; the
lobelia shrivels up ; the moneyvine and
glcchoma get brown and unsightly; the

feet flowers. As remarked many times,
now is the time to retard azaleas and not
the month of April. Besides giving a
cool house, it may be necessary lo shade
as well.

Cyclamens.

Early sown cyclamens that have been
in flats for two months and have little
bulos the size of a pea, and two or three
leaves, must not be allowed to crowd.
Instead of potting singly in small pots,
we prefer to transplant into other flats,
giving them more room. They seem to
thrive better in the more uniform moist-
ure of a flat with three inches of soil
than in small pots and you are able to
transplant with a little tuft of roots
without losing a fibre.

Sweet Peas.

Those wishing to have good sweet
peas at Easter can do so by sowing at
once. A raised bench will do, but six to
eight inches of soil on the ground will
be still better. Sow where they are to
flower, very thinly in rows eighteen
inches apart. There are few flowers so
influenced in flowering by sunshine as
sweet peas. After seeing the wonderful
peas grown by Mr. Sim there is no
doubt that for pink Earliest of All is
the one to grow, and for white the more
expensive Mt. Blanc. It is superb.

DESIRABLE CHRISTMAS PLANTS.

Skimmia Japonica.

called S. fragantissima, while a popular
ornamental evergreen in Europe, is only
hardy in our southern states, but makes
a pretty and very desirable pot plant

A Christmas Basket of Azalea Firefly.

senecio (German ivy) and tropffolum
blow into rags, and so on with the list
of the so-called vines. The vinca is king
and queen of th6m all and good vincas
in June are as scarce as the proverbial
hen's teeth.

Indian Azaleas.

The extraordinary sunny days of late
have stimulated growth and just now is
tne time that Azalea Indica is breaking
into growth at the base of the bud. Keep
the growths pulled out if you expect per-

t'or Christmas. It was ofTored in Boston
in considerable numbers last Christmas
and sold well, but was not mentioned as
shown in other cities.

Pronagation is either by cuttings in
gentle heat in winter or from seed sown
in the fall and carried in a cool house
during winter. The little plants can be
either kept potted on or be planted out,
the latter method preferably. They pre-
fer a compost of sandy peat or loam. As
they are of slow growth, several years
are required to produce a good salable

plant. A number are imported from Eu-
rope and potted up for the Christmas
trade each year. The flowers are pro-
duced in February or March and are yel-
lowish white and sweet-scented.

As skimmias are polygamous, it is
necessary with them, as with aucubas, to
plant staminate plants among the pistil-
late to secure a good set of fruit.

Azalea Firefly.

Azalea Firefly has proven very popu-
lar the past two or three seasons in the
Boston flower stores. Plants seen are
principally grown in 6-inch pots, al-
though occasional pyramidal-trained ones
of larger size are noted. The flowers are
smaller than in the regular A. Indica
section, rosy in color, a very desirable
shade for the holidays. The plant in
habit closely resembles the well known
A. amoena, which latter we find hardy in
Massachusetts even after very severe
winters. It evidently has a considerable
proportion of amoena blood in it. It can
be forced into bloom for Christmas as
readily as any other azalea.

Erica Melanthera.

Erica melanthera with E. Mediterranea
are probably the two most easily grown
heaths in America. We cannot here pro-
duce ericas like the hundreds of thou-
sands annually grown for the Covent
Grarden market in London, but E. melan-

garden soil. By keeping them syringed
and cultivated, nice little plants filling
4-inch pots can be had by fall, which the
second season will make nice salable
plants.

Ericaceous plants dislike coddling and
no forcing into bloom should be at-
tempted. If peat is at hand, use it in
potting, with a good dash of sand and
leaf-mold, but fine plants can be grown
in loam. It makes one of the prettiest
of Christmas plants.

The photographs from which the illus-
trations accompanying these notes were
prepared were made at Carbone's, Bos-
ton, at Christmas, 1905.

COUNCIL OF HORTICULTURE.

The second called meeting of the Na-

at the Auditorium Annex, Chicago, Feb-

S. B. Green, of Minnesota; C. E. Ken-

Kansas City; H. C. Irish, of St. Louis;

thera can be grown and flowered by any
one possessing a cool greenhouse. It can
be easily propagated during winter by
taking short tips of the shoots, one and
a half to two inches long, and inserting
in a propagating bench. One where car-
nations can be rooted is suitable. When
rooted pot off into thumb pots in rather
sandy soil, planting outdoors in May.
If some leaf-mold, peat and sand are
mixed in the soil, all the better, but the

Cleveland were read and approved. The
plan outlined at Cleveland for securing
funds from florists, nurserymon and
seedsmen showed $210 in the treasury
for promotion of trial work of the Bu-
reau of Publicity. The method for car-
rying out the plans arranged at Cleve-
land were discusssed and definite propo-
sitions read by D. J. Thomas, of New
York, and J. H. Burdette, of Chicago,
giving their views as to the best methods
of securing high-class newspaper pub-

licity for the Council. Subjects for pre-
liminary articles were discussed and
many suggestions given to the secretary,
with instructions to take up the matter
with Messrs. Thomas and Burdette and
arrange for sending out the preliminary
articles to such an extent as the funds
in hand would provide for.

It was conceded that material on gen-
eral subjects coming from a national
body covering broad lines and from all
parts of the country and bearing no evi-
dence of commercialism, would be eagerly
accepted through our own or other press
bureaus by hundreds or even thousands of
the best newspapers in all parts of the
country. It is believed that this part of
the Council work can be placed on a self-
supporting basis.

There being a vacancy of one mem-
ber in the delegates at large of the
National Coimcil, Prof. S. A. Beach, of
the Iowa State College of Agriculture,
was appointed.

It was voted to invite the Secretary
of Agriculture to appoint two delegates
from the United States Department of
Agriculture to become a part of the
Council on a similar basis as are the
delegates from the national societies of
the florists, nurserymen, and seedsmen.

Warren H. Manning, landscape de-
signer of the Jamestown Exposition,
asked for the advice and assistance of
the Council in his work at the exposition
and asked the Council to suggest names
for committees to aid him on the fol-
lowing sections of the exposition work
in horticulture: Classification, awards,
standards of excellence, call for national
congress, special events and programs.
These appointments were made as re-
quested and the secretary instructed to
submit same to Mr. Manning for his
approval. H. C. Irish, Sec'y.

ILLINOIS FLORISTS.

The Illinois State Florists' Association
will meet in Peoria on Saturday, March
3. It is desired that all florists in the
state be there to hear something for the
benefit of their business. Prominent flor-
ists from outside the state will be there
to talk to us.

JAS. Hartshorne, Chairman.

DAPHNE ODORATA.

In the Review of January 25, C. A.
D. asks for the name of a plant in his
possesion, which is given by W. N. C,
who well describes the plant as it is
usually seen in pots. Daphne odorata is
seldom seen as an attractive pot pla^t
for the reasons mentioned. It was form-
erly kept in the background and brought
into a camellia house or erica house
when coming into bloom for the sake of
its delightful fragrance. It could not
stand a high temperature at any season.
It makes very poor roots, no fiber under
ordinary treatment, and if grown and
treated as late azaleas are it is almost
sure to be either killed or badly dam-
aged by over-watering, when it should
be kept on the side of dry.

The name Daphne odorata called to my
mind some plants of it I once had charge
of while serving my time, the regular
time, two years in a place. About 1855
I went to a place and was put on as
an assistant under the foreman of stove
and greenhouse plants. Six months later
I was put in charge of a cool conserva-
tory, a ridge and furrow house 125
feet square, about fourteen to eighteen
feet high, laid out in beds about twelve
feet wide, slate walks three feet wide

Fbbbuaby 16, 1906.

The Weekly Florists' Review.

between the bods, with gravel walks
eight feet wide on the four sides. The
beds were planted with camellias,
acacias, clethras, luculias and many other
things which I have quite forgotten.
Each plant had a space in brickwork
three feet deep and from three to six
feet square, filled with suitable soil, the
whole surfaced with soil and planted
with Selaginella denticulata, the beds and
slate walks running east and west. At
the east end of each bed was a daphne
trained as a pyramid, from five to six
feet high, perfect in shape.

When I took charge of the house the
daphnes were in a starved, poor state,
like many of the other plants. It was
then in August and many of the camel-
lias had lost their buds. I found on
examining the soil that the trouble was
all caused from want of water. It took
me nearly all of the first month to thor-
oughly water the house. There being no
hose at that time, all the water had to
be carried in a can from a tank at one
side of the house. The foliage of every-
thing soon showed the effect of the
watering, but it was then too late and
not desirable for new growth on that
class of plants, so flowers were scarce
and poor the following winter and
spring. The following spring and sxim-
mer the daphnes made new shoots six
and seven inches long, foliage almost
double the usual size, of a fine deep
green and when in bloom they were a
mass of bloom from ground to top, many
of them with flower-heads two and a half
inches. These were by far the finest
plants of Daphne odorata seen by many
old plant growers. I never could grow
them like it in pots. S. Taplin.

A ROLL OF CARPET.

I intend to make next spring a flower
design representing a roll of carpet and
I would like to find out how to construct
the frame and what size is best and what
kind of plants are best to use. W. D.

It is not quite clear what is meant by
a roll of carpet and we should think that
a carpet laid out as it would appear in
a room is to be represented. Make the
dimensions what are usually seen in car-
pets, say 12x16, or 16x24 feet. A carpet
is always seen perfectly flat, without
any undulations in its surface; there-
fore it should be on a moderate incline
or it would not be observed with any
clearness or pleasure. We have more
than once seen the great American flag,
the stars and stripes, done in plants and
made perfectly flat. Now, whoever saw
a flag streaming in the breeze without
some waves in itf A dead flat surface
representing a flag was a dead flat un-
natural affair and a failure.

You don 't need a frame if the edge of
the bed is clean-cut, rising two or three
inches above the sod. That is all that
is necessary, but let the edge be clearly
defined. If this is not practical with

MAKING A START.

I wish to build a greenhouse in the
fall and ask what kinds of plants can
be grown successfully in one house for
cut flowers and pot plants and how I
can be preparing stock now and next
spring! Would you kindly teU me of
some books that treat fully on the sub-
ject? T. H. H.

It would be impossible even in an ex-
tended article to answer the above. Don 't
put off building your greenhouse until
the fall. Get at it this spring, when you
will have the benefit of fine weather. It
won't be finished too soon and unless

you have a mechanical turn of mind and
past experience in building, glazing and
heating, give your order to a first-class
firm of horticultural builders.

I consider Bailey's Cyclopedia of
American Horticulture the best garden-
ing book published. It is voluminous
and expensive, but its chief value to
the ordinary florist is that its cultural
directions for all our popular flowers are
written by the most practical men in the
trade. A much less expensive book,
which contains plain practical directions
for the culture of all our commercial
flowers, is the Florists' Manual written
by Wm. Scott.

TEMPERATURE AND BLIND WOOD.

I would like to grow in one house a
red, pink and white rose, growing Liber-
ty for red. Now, will you kindly sug-
gest what varieties will do the best and
at what temperature they will do best?

I purchased last season, from one of
the largest concerns, Brides and Maids.
They started off well and have looked
well all through the season. When I gay
they have looked well, I mean plenty of
foliage and most of the time appear as
though they are about to produce a fine
crop, but everything is blind wood and
what flowers I have cut have been short-

Boston Jhnver stores. IMants seen are
priu(ii)ally <;rown in G-ineh pctts, al-

smaller than in the regular A. Judiea
section, rosy in color, a very desirable
shade for the holidays. Tiie plant in
habit closely resembles the well known
A. amo'na, which latter we lind hardy in
Massaclnisetts even after very seveie
winters. It evidently has a considerable
proportion of amuMiu blood in it. It can
be forced into bloom for Christmas as
readily as any other azalea.

Erica Melanthera.

Erica melanthera with E. Mediterranea
are probably the two most easily grown
heaths in America. We cannot here pro-
duce ericas like the hundreds of thou-
sands annually grown for tlie Covent
Garden market in London, but E. melan-

garden soil. By keeping them syringetl

;ind cultivated, nice little j)lants tilling
4-iii(di pots can be had by fall, which the
second season will make nice salable
plants.

l"]ricaceous plants dislike coddling and
no forcing into iiloom should be at-
tempted. If peat is at hand, use it in
jiottiiig, with a ;i()iid dash of sami and
leaf-mold, but line jdaiits can bo grown
in loam. It makes one of the prettiest
of Christmas ])lauts.

trations accompanying these notes were

plan outlined at Cleveland for securing
funds from florists, nurserymen and
seedsmen showed .$210 in the treasury
for promotion of trial work of the Bu-
reau of Publicity. The method for car-
rying out the plans arranged at Cleve-
land were discusssed and definite propo-
sitions read by D. J. Thomas, of New
York, and J. H. Burdette, of Chicago,
1 giving their views as to the best methods
I of securing high-class newspaper pub-

licity for the Council. Subjects for pre-
linunary articles were discussed and
many suggestions given to the secretary,
with instructions to take up the matter
with Messrs. Thomas and Burdette ami
arrange for sending out the preliminary
articles to such an extent as the fund.s
in hand would provide for.

It was conceded that material on gen-
eral subjects coming from a national
body covering broad lines and from all
parts of the country and bearing no evi-
dence of commercialism, would be eagerly
accepted through our own or other press
bureaus by hundreds or even thousands of
the best newspapers in all parts of the
country. It is believed that this part of
the Council work can be placed on a self-
supporting basis.

There being a vacancy of one mem-
ber in the delegates at large of the
l^ational Council, Prof. S. A. Beach, of
the Iowa State College of Agriculture,
•was appointed.

It was voted to invite the Secretary
of Agriculture to appoint two delegates
from the United States Department of
Agriculture to become a part of the
Council on a similar basis as are the
delegates from the national societies of
the florists, nurserymen, and seedsmen.

Warren H. Manning, landscape de-
signer of the Jamestown Exposition,
asked for the advice and assistance of
the Council in his work at the exposition
and asked the Council to suggest names
for committees to aid him on the fol-
lowing sections of the exposition work
in horticulture: Classification, awards,
standards of excellence, call for national
congress, special events and programs.
These appointments were made as re-
quested and the secretary instructed to
submit same to Mr. Manning for his
approval. H. C. Irish, Sec'y.

DAPHNE ODORATA.

In the Review of January 2.5, C. A.
D. asks for the name of a plant in his
possesion, which is given by W. N. C,
who well describes the plant as it is
usually seen in pots. Daphne odorata is
seldom seen as an attractive pot plant
for the reasons mentioned. It was form-
erly kept in the background and brought
into a camellia house or erica house
when coming into bloom for the sake of
its delightful fragrance. It could not
stand a high temperature at any season.
It makes very poor roots, no fiber under
ordinary treatment, and if grown and
treated as late azaleas are it is almost
sure to be either killed or badly dam-
aged by over-watering, when it should
be kept on the side (>f dry.

The name Daphne odorata called to my
mind some plants of it I once had charge
of while serving my time, the regular
time, two years in a place. About 1855
I went to a place and was put on as
an assistant under the foreman of stove
and greenhouse plants. Six months later
I was put in charge of a cool conserva-
tory, a ridge and furrow house 125
feet square, about fourteen to eighteen
feet high, laid out in beds about twelve
feet wide, slate walks three feet wide

Kebiuauv 15, 1906.

hctween the beds, with gravel walks
,'ight foot wide on the four sidos. The
hods woro planted with camellias,
acacias, clethras, liieulias and many other
things which 1 have quite forgotten.
Kach plant had a space in brickwork
three feet deep and from three to six
loot stjuare, filled with suitable soil, the
whole surfaced with soil and planted
with Selaginolla donticulnta, the hods and
slate walks running east and west. At
the oast end of each bed was a daphne
trained as a pyramid, fnun five to six
loot high, perfect in shape.

When 1 took charge of the house the
daphnes were in a starved, poor state,
like many of the other plants. It was
then in August and many of the camel-
lias had lost their buds. 1 found on
examining the soil that the trouble was
all caused from want of water. It took
me nearly all of the first month to thor-
oughly water the house. There being no
hose at that time, all the water had to
be carried in a can from a tank at one
side of the house. The foliage of every-
thing soon showed the eti'ect of the
watering, but it was then too late and
not desirable for new growth on that
class of plants, so flowers were scarce
and poor the following winter and
spring. The following spring and sum-
mer the daphnes made new shoots six
and seven inches long, foliage almost
double the usual size, of a fine deep
green and when in bloom they were a
mass of bloom from ground to top, many
of them with flower-heads two and a half
inches. These were by far the finest
plants of Daphne odorata seen by many
old plant growers. 1 never could grow
them like it in pots. S. Tapmn.

A ROLL OF CARPET.

I intend to make next spring a flower
design representing a roll of carpet and
I would like to find out how to construct
the frame and what size is best and what
kind of plants are best to use. \V. D.

it is not quite clear what is meant by
a roll of car])ot and we should think that
a carpet laid out as it would apf)ear in
a room is to be represented. Make the
diuionsions wliat are usually seen in car-
])ets, say 12x1 (5, or lGx24 feet. A carpet
is alwaj-s seen perfectly flat, without
any undulations in its surface; there-
fore it shoidd be on a moderate incline
or it would not be observed with any
cloarnoss or j)loasuro. Wo have more
than once seen the great American flag,
the stars and stripes, done in plants and
made perfectly flat. Now, whoever saw
a flag streaming in the bioozo without
some waves in it? A dead flat surface
re[)resenting a flag was a dead flat un-
natural affair and a failure.

You don't need a frame if the edge of
the bed is clean-cut, rising two or three
inches above the sod. Tliat is all that
is necessary, but lot the edge be clearly
defined. If this is not jiractical with
your soil, thou sink a l-inch board into
the soil and paint it green. I mean
1-inch thick and four or five inches
broad, but only let it project two inches
above the level of the soil.

You will find a carpet bed a very ex-
pensive affair, worth double the price
of a bod of flowering plants such as
caTinas or geraniums. The plants that
can be usetl are not very limited, but
need lots of pinching and trimming to

stemmed and weak. The house has been
run at 58 degrees at night. 1 have tried
to locate the trouble but so far have
failed and would appreciate very much
if you will suggest what to do. I am of
the opinion that they were propagated
from scrubby, blind wood.

J. H.

Por a house of mixed roses the follow-
ing varieties do well, as they require
practically the same temperature and the
same care in ventilating, etc.: For red,
Richmond is the best; for i>ink. Brides-
maid and Chatenay ; for white. Bride and
Ivory. All these varieties do well at a
night temperature of 56 degrees, with a
day temperature ranging from 62 degrees
to 75 degrees, according to intensity of
sunshine. These temperatures should be

maintained with ventilation on whenever
possible.

There are many reasons for a crop of
blind wood, chief among which is want
of ventilation. They may also have been
propagated from poor, weak wood, or the
soil may be poor and require feeding.
Then, too, 58 degrees is just a trifle
high, especially where they show this
weakness.

1 should advise trimming out a little
of the superfluous blind wood and apply
a sprinkling of bone meal to the sur-
face of the soil. After a week or two
they would be able to use an application
of liquid food, and as the season ad-
vances they could stand this dose at least
once a week. Above all give all the ven-
tilation you can with safety, both day
and night. Eibes.

NOTES OF NEW CARNATIONS.

[A paper by Edw. A. Stroud, Strafford, I'a.,
read before the Florists' Clul) of rtiiladelpbia,
February 6, 190C.1

The trade papers have so thoroughly
covered the carnation convention in Bos-
ton that there seems little to add that
would interest you. What you want is,
we suppose, our impressions of the new
varieties on exliibition at Boston. To
rightly judge a carnation on the exhibi-
tion table a good idea is to scale it up
according to your own judgment on the
points adopted by the (."arnation So-
ciety; you will be surprised how much
better knowledge you will get of a va-
riety by following this method.

Lady Bountiful showed up promi-
nently, winning all prizes in the class of
whites; if any fault, it shows a lack
of substance which is against it as a
shipper.

My Maryland unfortunately could not
be staged by Mr. Weber, as that variety
with his other exhibits, some 1,200 in
all, carried poorly owing to the warm
weather. The Strafford Flower Farm
showed 100 of this variety and was for-
tunate enough to secure an award. Mr.
Weber has made an announcement to the
trade through the various papers which
is a square deal. My Maryland, as you
know, has not been successfully grown
everywhere. As grown at StraflTord its
habit difl"ers entirely from its growth
with Mr. Weber; but we do not by any
means pronounce it unworthy and feel
confident that if certain grassy peculi-
arities can be eliminated this variety
will prove a good thing, as its keeping
qualities are above jiar.

Enchantress was shown extensively and
nothing could compete with it in its
color. It occupies a held of its (>wn.

Robert Craig is certainly a thorough-
bred; it looked beautiful, staged, and as
seen growing at Mr. Ward's. Whether
this fine condition can be duplicated by
the smaller growers and whether it can
be made a commercial success is a ques-
tion yet to be decided.

Mr. Fisher's new red seedling, Beacon,
looked well, standing out prominently
from all others in its brightness of color.
Seeing it growing at his place impressed
me with its commercial value, being such

a free bloomer; its stem seemed a trifle
weak, but not enough to injure it

Red Lawson will do when there are
no other good reds about. We do not
like its color. The extensively adver-
tised Victory showed up well ; many or-
ders have been booked for it, Mr. Gutt-
nian telling us of five firms who had
placed orders aggregating 120,000. We
have seen it only on the exhibitio;! table.
Mr. Haines is as enthusiastic a;-; ever
about his red carnation named after
him. It did not carry well to Boston,
but as we saw it growing at his place
last March it was a grand sight. We
notice the reports from the west say it
is inclined to be somewhat sleepy during
the early fall months. We were further
convinced of its good qualities after see-
ing it growing at Peter Fisher's.

The Lawson gold medal winner. Elsa
Struss, a seedling uf Mr. Ward's, was
beautiful, and seeing it growing con-
vinced us that it will be heard from, as
it resembles Enchantress in habit and
looks free.

Mrs. Ward, another seedling of Cot-
tage Gardens, showed breeding. It is a
question whether it would not have given
a good run for the medal if 100 blooms
could have been shown.

Aristocrat is certainly ideal in form,
calyx and stem. Personally we are
tiring of the Lawson shade of pink.

Helen Goddard, while not a large
flower, is recommended for its commer-
cial value. It is slightly lighter in color
tlian Lawson. We did not have a chance
to see it growing.

Pink Patten, a sport from Mrs. Pat-
ten, was not particularly interesting to

U3.

Evangeline, another seedling of Peter
Fislier's, has merit. As we saw it grow-
ing, it looked healthv; it is smaller than
Enchantress, brighter in color, has good
substance, and seemed freer. Mr. Fisher
told us he would not send it out unless
he could eliminate its slight tendency to
burst. It is a question if there is a
market for Evangeline, if Enchantress
keeps up its good name.

Fiancee Avas not largely shown, having
no entry in either the hundred, fifty, or
twenty-five class. We imagined it was
impossible to get so many good flowers
together.

Winsor attracted us especially, its color
being a very pleasing shade of pink.
It showed all the requirements of a first
class flower. We hope y«u have all read
Mr. Fisher 's address ; the points he made
appealed to us strongly. Taking it all in
all the show was a success. The public
seemed to appreciate that it was free to
all and we trust Toronto will be able to
arouse the same enthusiasm when the
convention meets there.

CARNATION NOTES- VEST.

Late Propas;atiii£.

Cuttings put in sand now, if rooted
successfully, will make fine plants, and,
in fact, in some ways these cuttings are
even superior to those taken earlier, and
tliey are much to be preferred to cuttings
taken early in November. The days are
getting longer and the plants are taking
on new vigor, and all the shoots have
more vigor now than was the case six
weeks ago. They will root in a shorter
time and will not get so soft as is apt
to be the case with tne very early batches.
It takes more skill, however, from now
on to get a good strike than it did up
to now, and the later it gets the more
skill and judgment are required.

Lately the days have been bright and
cold and the nights have be«in cold
enough to call for steady firing. This is
ideal weather for propagating and while
it keeps up there will be no trouble. The
weather that does the mischief is a
bright, mild day, when you are obliged to
open the ventilators and evaporation is
rapiil. Then it will tax your knowledge
to the utmost to keep your cuttings stand-
ing up fresh. Often one day of this kind
ot weather will do the mischief and ruin
wuat you had hoped would be a fine
strike.

On days like this you will frequently
find that the curtain is not sufficient pro-
tection. The curtain will keep the sun
ott' them, but they will need more than
that, because the very air will draw the
moisture out of them and cause wilting.
You wiU find it advisable to employ some
closer covering than the curtain while
this condition exists and we find that
laying newspapers on the cuttings will
answer perfectly. Do not let the hot
sun beat on the newspapers, but drop
iiie curtain to shade them and use the
papers merely to hold in the moisture
which will rise from the sand, or is on
the foliage from syringing. These
papers should not be put on until they
are really needed and should be taken
off as soon as the ventilators are closed
and the air is more moisture-laden. You
can tell when the atmosphere feels
bracing and fresh.

You will find as a rule that shading
tlie cuttings carefully and keeping away
an draught is more effective, and better
for the cuttings than syringing. While
a light spraying will help the cuttings
to freshen up, yet it will not stop wilt-
ing if a draught strikes them or if the
sun beats on them.

You will also find it difficult to keeji
the foliage moist all day and then have
them dry at night. You should not have
the foliage wet over night, as it will
start fungus and rust and, in fact, any
of the spot diseases just the same as it
will on the blooming plants. You can
put on and remove the close covering at
a moment's notice, however, and you can
always have better control of the situ-
ation. We usually spray lightly early in
the morning of a bright day, before
dropping the curtain, and for some time

the curtain will be suflScient. When you
open the ventilators will be time enough
to lay on the papers.

Watch the sand closely, so it does not
dry out too much. If the sand is not
fairly moist the cuttings will suffer se-
verely on such a day. It should not be
any more moist, however, than you keep
it in the winter. Heavy watering will
not prevent wilting. You must be more
careful to keep the cuttings fresh all the
way through than you were up to now,
if that IS possible. Take otf all your
cuttings early in the morning while they
are fresh and crisp. Wet them with cool
water and trim them in a cool place.
These things will count later on, when the
cutting is battling for its life. Do not
take cuttings that are too young and
soft, as they will wilt easily. A well-
niatured, fair size cutting will prove
most satisfactory. Wetting do^vu the
walks, the bench boards, etc., Avill help
to keep the atmosphere moist, too. It is
too early yet to put a heavy permanent
shade on the glass. There will be many
days when you will want all the light
you can get on tne cuttings.

A. F. J. BwR.

two blooms and twenty-five cuttings are
a good lot to cut from one plant and if
it does that well for you right along it
will be a very profitable sort, though the
blooms may not grade as fancy. Nelson
never did that well for us, but was rather
inclined to run to grass; that is the only
thing that causes me to doubt about
your plant being that variety. I would
like to see a good bloom of it.

A FREE BLOOMER.

I am sending a carnation l)K»(»in and
would like to Know what variety it is.
There was one plant of it mixed witli
some stock I bought last season. It has
given more flowers than any other plant
in the house. Up to February .") 1 have
cut twenty-one blooms, taken off twenty-
five cuttings and there are now eleven
buds on the plant, which will bloom be-
fore March. I would like to get some
more plants that will do as well. J. C.

The carnation bloom you sent was
badly frozen when it reached me and I
could not say with any certainty what
the variety is. The stem, calyx and the
color and one or two petals looked very
much like Mrs. E. A. Nelson. Thirty-

THE CENTRAL MARKET.

for a long time it was the popular be-
lief that the large eastern cities were
in a position to claim an hereditary right
to the business in florists' supplies for
this country. This did not cause them
to relax their vigilance in any particular,
for competition has been keen between
cities as well as between the several firms.
< 'hicago has boon one of their most closely
I'ontested battle-gro\inds and they were
for years without local competition.

But it lias gradually come to be tho
belief that Chicago is as well endowed
with natural advantages as any other
city in this country for the handling of
florists' supplies in a large way. E. IT.
Hunt has built up a large business in this
department and lately considerably ex-
tended its scope by handling various
novelties. Winterson and McKellar are
factors, L. Baumann & Co. are doing a
good business with certain specialties, and
tho A. L. Randall Co. has now embarked
in the field with a large, well selected
and complete stock of florists' supplies
and every facility and intention of build-
ing up a far-reaching mail order busi-
ness. The Chicago Rose Co. is just fitting
up and stocking an establishment in I
which florists' supplies will be a large
feature, and it appears that Chicago men
mean to have their city take rank with
New York and Philadelphia as a distrib-
uting point for the innumerable requisites
which have become so important fi feat-

ure of every up-to-date cut flower busi-
ness. At least competition will be suf-
ficiently keen so that the trade will have
no fear that undue profits are being
made on the staples.

BEST AZALEAS.

A writer in the Gardeners' Magazine
suggests the following as a list of azaleas
* ' remarkable for their distinctness and
high quality: Alice, rose, blotched with
red, double; ApoUon, white, flaked with

POSTS SET IN CEMENT.

[ have a lot of good sound white oak
posts that I want to use for the side
walls of a house. The posts are four
inches square. How deep should these
posts be set in the ground? Would there
be any advantage in setting them in ce-

then tamping cement around the post,
bringing it up about two inches above
the ground? Walls to be three feet
high from ground to plate. Would like
to hear from those -who have used cement
for this purpose. N. E. B.

These white oak posts, although not
quite as good and lasting as red cedar,

will do well for posts if erected in the
way proposed and ought to be good for
at least twelve years. By continuing the
cement between the posts in the' form of
A wall eight inches thick by about six-
teen inches deep and bringing it a few
inches abovB ground, thus keeping tiie
siding from contact with the ground, you
will have an ideal foundation. B.

never had an opportunity to examine
the makeup of either. Any information

A muff must be made on a frame the
size of which should be two-thirds the
size of the finished piece. Cover both
sides of the inside frame with tin foil.
This double covering is meant as a spe-
cial protection against picks or wire
which may have been driven in too far.
After lining the frame, fill with sphag-
num, as in other design work. Then
cover the sphagnum, a strip on the muff
lengthwise about the width of tin foil,
which shall be the back of the muff.
The muff will be heavy at best, so have
moss as dry as possible and still be damp
and use no more than seems necessary to
hold the fliowers in. Wrap closely with
green thread around through the inside
to hold the tin foil lining in place as well
as the moss. Have the filling even and
snug, so as to resist the pull of the
flowers, which must hang downwards. It
is well to cover the moss with wood ferns
as in the best class of other design work,
not forgetting the ends of the frame.

Now as to the flowers and colors ; make
the piece of one kind and color. Violets
axe especially suitable. Carnations or
full blown roses could be used. Stem
flowers in the same way as for a piUow
except shorter. The best effect, how-
ever, is secured by setting the flower
well up on a half pick. Have the stems
not to exceed three inches. If violets
are used, stem four or six with a leaf on
one pick. If carnations or roses are
used, make solid without foliage. In
no case use roses in bud. Carnations are
much to be preferred to roses for this
piurpose. Fill in the edges of the muff,
so that the foil lining cannot be seen.
If violets are used, the inside lining of
the muff should be of violet foil. For
other flowers use green foil. Use the
dark foil for the strip at the back of the
muff also. Fill about three-quarters of
the way around, and use the vacant
strip to set the piece on while making
and boxing for delivery.

The muff may or may not be finished
with a knot of violet cord hanging from
the lower edge of each end. I would
suggest that the frame be made after
the fashion of the large * * granny muffs * *
now in style, with the lower part larger
than the upper.

The fern bouquet may be made either
after the style of an armful, round
bunch or shower, precisely as valley or
roses. It is taken for granted that
maidenhair is to be the fern used. From
one to two hundred fronds of good size
will be required. Probably the daintiest
arrangement for ferns is the shower,
and they are easily arranged, but for
one difficulty; with their small wiry
stems they bunch up too closely. To
get around, or rather between, this
trouble, take short stiff' sprays of Spren-
geri and set in between the stems so as
not to be seen from the top. This will
throw the fronds out and apart and
give the bunch an airy, fluffy effect.
Wire together very tightly and make
shower on gauze ribbon with sash of
same just as is done with flowers.

MUSHROOMS.

Would you kindly give me a little in-
formation as to wnere I made a mis-
take in growing mushrooms? About No-
vember 1 I planted a bed and in about
thirty days they started to appear.

They would get about one-half inch to
one and one-quarter inches in ' diameter,
with thousands at the pm-head ^tage, an.l
that was the last of them. The bed waa
probably prepared and planted different
than is practiced in the east, owing to
the intense evaporation here. Thn
manure was piled and turned several
times and in fifteen days I put it under
the center bench, seven feet wide, in th<;^
greenhouse, eight inches deep in center,
sloping down to about two inches on the
edge of bed. On this I placed three to
four inches of soil, a mixture of garden
clay loam and a lighter soil and some
manure from the top of a hotbed,
spawning as soon as the bed was com-
pleted. The spawn was placed in the
soil instead of the nmnure and thor-
oughly wet down. It ran through the
soU nicely and the soil was full of the
white threads. I sprinkled the bed sev-
eral times with water about the tem-
perature of the building. Now, where
I think the mistake was made, was when
the mushrooms had started to grow I
was advised to wet the bed down thor-
oughly, which I did, and in a few days
there was nothing to be seen. There
were no heating pipes under the bench
and the temperature varied about 52 de-
grees to 60 degrees. Should ihe bench
have been curtained off to shut out the
light and heat? ,

This has been my second attempt and
second failure. I am naturally rather
persevering and will try it again and I
would like to avoid mistakes, if pos-
sible. M. E. D.

Your failure may be attributed not to
one but to several points in your method
of cultivation, which I don't louk upon
as being just right.

In the first place, your bed was too
shallow, although mushrooms can be
grown in a bed with a uniform depth
01 eight inches in a properly constructed
mushroom house where the best possible
conditions exist. Under conditions such
as you describe the bed should not be
under ten inches, and if twelve inches
deep so much the better. With a bed
of this depth made up with the ma-
terial in proper condition, enough moist-
ure should be retained to mature the
first crop without the necessity of water-
ing, and besides the larger body of ma-
terial will naturally retain the heat bet-
ter and be less liable to fluctuate with
the variations of the temperature of the
house. Again, the turning and working
of the manure only tends to waste the
chemical ingredients necessary to the de-
velopment of the crop. This is an old
custom, but it has been proven that bet-
tor mushrooms can be produced when
the bed is made up with the manure as
fresh as it can be procured, the thorough
packing of the material in making up
the bed being relied on to prevent over-
heating; hence, the firmer the material
is packed the better.

It is a mistake to cover the bed with
soil and spawn as soon as completed.
After making up with the frosh ma-
terial as above, the temperature of the
bed will probably rise to about 110 de-
grees, but in the course of a few days
will begin to decline. After it has fallen
to 90 degrees or a little under, spawn-
ing may safely be done. We break the
spawn up into pieces about the size of
walnuts and insert these about eight
inches apart, in holes two inches deep in
the manure, covering with the matorial
composing the bed and beating down
firmly. In the course of a week, or

eight days, when the temperature has
dropped to 75 degrees, tbe covering of
soil about two inches deep is put on.
The soil should not be wet, but should be
in such a condition that it will pack
firmly without baking and should be
beaten evenly and smoothly with the
back of a spade. The bed should by all
means be curtained, both as a shade
from light and as a means of prevent-
ing evaporation as much as possible.
After the soil is put on it will cause a
rise in the temperature of the bed, prob-
ably to about 80 degrees, but it will soon
begin to come down slowly and after it
has fallen to 70 degrees, a covering of
hay or straw should be put on to try
and maintain this heat in the bed as long
as possible. After the bed has been
spawned about four weeks, examine oc-
casionally and when the mushrooms be-
gin to appear remove the covering, as
they would work up through this and
make it very inconvenient to pull them.
Try and obviate the necessity of water-
ing until your crop has been gathered,
by maintaining as moist an atmosphere
around your bed as possible. This can
be done by spraying under the bench
where your bed is and over the covering
with water at a temperature of 80 de-
grees, the frequency of application be-
ing regulated by the amount of evapora-
tion. If this is excessive, it may be
necessary to spray three times a day,
but twice, or even once, might be suf-
ficient. In harvesting your crop don't
pull the mushrooms straight up, but twist
the stem around in the soil so as to break
it away without disturbing the mycelium.

After the crop is gathered, give a good
watering with water at a temperature of
80 degrees, cover over with an inch of
tresh soil, beating down as before. Put
a good covering over the bed and treat
as for the first crop and in the course of
from four to five weeks a second crop
will appear, this second crop often prov-
ing about as good as the first.

Greenhouse Beating.

HEATING FRAME WITH STEAM.

I would like to know how I could build
a hotbed, so that I could heat it with
steam and how the steam pipes should
be arranged. The hotbeds would face
south. M. F. C.

What 18 known and generally under-
stood as a hotbed is made of ferment-
ing material, stable manure, leaves, or
refuse hops and the heat germinated by
fermentation makes the hotbed. What
you are attempting would better be called
a heated frame.

A number of sash heated by steam
or hot water is a most useful adjunct to
any commercial place. Often they are
heated by a separate heater, but there
is no difficulty about heating them with
steam if that is the method of heating
your greenhouses. From the nearest
point of your steam pipes, run a 1%-inch
pipe, one to your frames, and on enter-

ing the frames let the pipe be a foot
above the surface of the bed. Let it
drop gradually, if only one inch in
twenty feet to the furthest end. There
will be very little chance to make pro-
vision for return of condensed steam to
the boiler or main return in greenhouse
and don't attempt it. At the extreme
end *of the heating pipe in the frame
put a 1-inch valve. It will be neoesflary
to open this valve two or three times in
twenty-four hours to let out any con-
densed steam, but that will be little loss,
and if two or three feet of the end and
the lowest point of the pipe should con-
tain condensed steam it would still be
hot. It would also be well to tap on a
pet cock near end of pipe to let out air
and admit steam. Of course it will be
necessary to protect your steam pipe
thoroughly if it has to pass underg^oimd
or in the open air from the greenhouse
to the frame, but those things will sug-
gest themselves to you. W. S.

• B. B.

From what you say, I judge the boiler
in question is of about thirty horse-power
and should be capable of supplying about
3,000 to 3,500 square feet of radiation.
Each house requires about 1,200 square
feet. With good management the boiler
should be able to supply heat for three of
the houses of the dimensions noted. To
provide radiation for these houses with
1-inch pipe it will be necessary to use
a 3-inch supply pipe, or riser, and twenty
returns. A steam trap may be of some
use if the boiler cannot be placed well
below the level of the returns. If the
water line in the boiler is three feet be-
low the level of the returns, there should
be no need for a steam trap. A steam
trap can be worked with six to eight
pounds of steam but ten pounds is better.

east side, double boarded, tar paper be-
tween. A shorter house joining on the
south end, ten and a half feet to ridge,
five and a half feet to plate; west wall
brick, eighteen inches glass on the east
side, glass in south end and nineteen
feet Wide. We require 55 degrees.

I can only give you specifications for
the house seventy-five feet long as you
neglected to state length of the "shorter
house." This house, with water at 180
degrees, should be heated with 550 feet
of radiation, equal to 880 lineal feet of
2-inch pipe. With the water at 160 de-
grees it will be necessary to install 850
feet of radiation, equal to 1,360 lineal
feet of 2-inch pipe. Hot water, i. e.,
180-degree water, saves nearly one-half
in amount of pipe necessary to supply
the heat. L. C. C.

THE READERS' CORNER.

PIPE NEEDED.

T intend building a house 28x100 feet,
inside measurement. The walls will be
five feet six inches, twenty-four inches
of glass on south side; north side to
be boarded. Temperature required is 50
degrees. I will have solid benches in the
house and will grow carnations. Will
heat with steam because I intend to add
more houses. Would you please tell me
liow many 1^4 -inch pipes it will take to
keep the temperature at 50 degrees?
Would you have two 2-inch flow pipes
run up the house overhead and return in
1^-inch pipes?

Will you kindly tell me which glass
most florists use, double A or B, 16x24
inches? The glass will be used for car-
nations and roses. O. H. C.

The house in question, 28x100 feet, to
be heated to 50 degrees by the plan sug-
gested should have a 2l^-inch flow and
sixteen 1^4 -inch returns, making in all
100 feet of 2y2-inch pipe and 1,600 feet
of 1^4 -inch pipe in the house. In re-
gard to glass will say that both A and B
qualities are extensively employed but,
unless price is a big item and there is a
decided saving, should advise the use of
A quality D. S. glass. L. C. C.

Galvanized Pipes.

Some time ago I saw an inquiry in
one of our trade papers as to whether
the pipes used for water conductors to
buildings would do for greenhouse heat-
ing pipes. Somebody in reply stated
that they would not do, but I do not
remember the reason he gave. I have
the opportunity of procuring a lot of
galvanized conductor pipe very cheaply
and have been trying to find out why
they would not answer for hot water
heating. I would use them under the
benches, both flows and returns. The
top of the boiler to be used would be but
eighteen inches or two feet below the
lowest end of the coils and the runs
but thirty-two feet long, and the tank
elevated but a few inches above the
highest part of the system. There would
be little pressure on the pipes and I
would like to know why such pipes would
not answer. All the joints could be
soldered and where they connected to the
pipes leading to and from the boiler,
unions could be soldered in, as they are
to similar pipes when used with a chain
pump for cisterns. Would like to hear
from those who know. J. Y. L.

A Voice From Texas*

I have been laid up a few days with
rheumatism and have been looking over
the back numbers of the Keview. It is
the greatest possible help and source of
encouragement to us small growers way
out here in Texas, on the edge of civiliza-
tion. Some of us have never seen a first-
class greenhouse except our own, and
are self taught as well as self made. I
saw some of the best roses and carna-
tions that my city brothers could grow
this winter, and to my surprise I could
beat them in size and quality. I have
built a new carnation house. I live in a
' ' 30 cent town, ' ' but I grow dollar car-
nations. The only help I have had has
been good trade papers, of which the
best is the Florists' Review.

Tuberous Begonias.

Tlie Review is very attractively got
up, the many articles are well written,
interesting and instructive, and we have
pleasure in enclosing $2.50 for renewal
of our subscription. We note with re-
gret that begonias, which are our great
specialty, do not seem to be grown in
America at all extensively, excepting the
winter flowering varieties. Is this be-
cause the tuberous varieties are not suc-
cessful owing to the great heat in sum-
mer? We should imagine that even if
this is so in some districts, thit there
arc plenty of others where a cooler and
moister atmosphere would be conducive
to the success of these most beautiful
flowers, which are each year bein;y grown
in larger numbers in Great Britain.

Dollar Gunations Again.

In reply to F. A. F. 's query how to
sell $1 carnations in a thirty-cent town,
the solution is quite simple. We started
here a few years ago in a small way and
as the business was entirely new to the
town it was supposed by many that flow-
ers were to be giv.en away, but to sell —
never. Any price was too much. With
the end in view of eking out a living we

sold carnations at from 35 cents to 50
cents per dozen; but as we often had lo
buy (in case of funerals) we couldn't -ct
anything to sell at these prices and h;i . c
any profit left. Starting in last t ii
with Hill, Lawson, white and pink; ] i-
chantress and Crane, we determined : >
get what they were worth. Enchantrc s
we have asked for and got $1 a doze ,,
the Lawsons, etc., 75 cents. We ii i»
plenty of fancy ferns or Sprengeri wi i
all orders, and in case of funeral ordei ,
all flowers sent out are artistical .
bunched and boxed. We find no mo; ;
kicking than we did at the lower pri( .
We are in a town of 2,000 populatio, .
We would advise F. A. F. to put up g0( i
flowers and ask what they are wort
but don 't ask 50 cents for 30-cent flower .
People as a rule recognize merit and ai
willing to pay an advance price for ;
good article. C. H. H.

Twenty Years But Still Learning.

Enclosed find $1 for the Review an
other year; could hardly keep (green)
house without it. Have found it pleas-
ant and profitable. My specialty is bed-
ding stock, filling vases, window boxes,
gardens, etc. Each year I run short
of some plant and have to buy. I have
answered several advertisements in the
Review to my advantage. I think
florists might almost make a living buy-
ing and selling from each other. I find
my business steadily growing. Once a
customer, always a customer has been
the general experience with those with
whom I have traded.

The most valuable thing that 1
learned in the Review was how to grow
vincas. I have grown and used them
for twenty years and never knew the
best way to propagate them until 1
learned from the Review. The weather
has been very fine for florists in New
York State this winter; plenty of sun-
shine. A. Wakefield.

other readers give their views on any
subject treated.]

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market

Despite the short month and three
holidays, besides four Sundays to sub-
tract, leaving only twenty-one working
days, February bids fair to be one of the
most active months of the season. The
amount of business in cut flowei;s is lim-
ited by the supply, not by the demand.
St. Valentine's created activity in vio-
lets, sweet peas, and kindred flowers sup-
posed to be specially favored by Cupid.
There was no advance in prices, simply
a better average, violets especially liave
ing been in over supply during the
greater part of January. Next to St.
Valentine 's day, the wedding of Miss
Alice Roosevelt was perhaps the most
important feature. Philadelphia con-
tributed of her choicest stock to this
event — Beauties and orchids, the former
largely, the latter to a smaller extent,
being the flowers sent to Washington.
The Flower Market is an important fac-
tor in the distribution of white snap-
dragon, Thos. Meehan & Sons, John Holt
and John Savage all contributing fancy
grades of this flower to the Filbert
street center. Curiously enough, the fea-
ture of the carnation market was the
over supply of Enchantress last week,
fairly good blooms of this variety sell-
ing considerably under the listed quota-

*ions on one or two days. This was,
liowever, only temporary. Beauties con-
tinue extremely scarce, nearly all the
'rack growers having to admit defeat at
■ he bands of the weather this season. It
;s confidently predicted that the van-
o'uard of the next Beauty crop will ap-
,,ear simultaneously with Lent; not, per-
.laps, the ideal time to secure them. The

ieficiency in Brides noted before is more
:iiarked now, but the increase in produc-

ion of LaEeine tulips is more than
equal to meet the requirements. Brides-
maids are in moderate supply, the best
oeing of very fine quality. Prices are
higher than at any time since Christmas.
The supply of bulbous flowers is excel-
lent, but the demand is, hardly suflBcient
to absorb them all at satisfactory prices.
A few fancy tulips, notably Keizers-
icroon, have been seen at S. S. Pen-
nock 's. They sell better than the ordi-
nary varieties. The Leo Niessen Co. is
strong on cattleyas, which are in demand.
Wm. E. MeKissick is handling quite a lot
of forget-me-nots, so much prized for
St. Valentine's day. He has the market
pretty nearly to himself.

Fifty-fifth and Sprinef ield Road.

There is ap amicable feud existing be-
tween Wm. K. Harris and Phil. To sum
up briefly, the situation stands this way:
Wm. K. Harris says that his reputation
stands so high that the newspaper men
must, come out to his place and tell what
they see there; that if they don't they
will be behind the times, and that he
doesn't want any advertising! It would
only bring him an order from Denver,
Colo., or some equally distant, un-get-at-
able place from the standpoint of a
grower of flowering plants. Phil says
that reputation may be all right. He has
no doubt that Wm. K. Harris' reputa-
tion was all right in the days when there
were only a few florists and no Eeview,
but in these present days of modern
business, when new florists are springing
up everywhere, and competition is keen,
reputation may or may not count. There
is great risk of being forgotten, cast up
on the sands, as it were. However, Wm.
K. Harris is such a thoroughly whole-
souled, genial man that Phil determined
to go out to see him, but he wants it
distinctly understood that he did not
have to go, that it was done out of pure
good will, and had nothing whatever to
do with Wm. K. Harris ' reputation, be
it good, bad, or indifferent.

Unluckily, Wm. K. Harris was away,
and Mqxk B. Mills was busy with Mr.
Money-Maker and a representative of M.
Witt, who appeared deeply absorbed in
Golden Spur and Single Von Sion. But
Wm. Mills, whom the aforesaid represen-
tative addressed as Lew, probably the
latitude great men allow themselves,
acted as cicerone in a hasty trip through
the houses. This trip was so hasty that
I can only give you impressions and not
any detailed notes of the stock grown.
I was impressed by the transition from
former days, the quantity of flowering
plants, as compared with the decorative
plants, being far greater. At present
azaleas form the staple of the flowering
plants. There were some fine specimens
in bloom, with many more to follow, sev-
eral houses being used for storage pur-
poses for the Easter crop.

The advance in the cultivation of gar-
denias is marked. One house, filled en-
tirely with, I think, 8-inch pots, was a
sight. The plants averaging, Mr. Mills
said, at least twelve buds, were in per-
fect condition and should be in full

WiUiam K. Harris.

flower when these notes see the light.
White lilacs are very fine. Bulbous stock
is still grown to a considerable extent,
but as compared with former years, one
is impressed with the idea that it is de-
cidedly on the wane. The various types
of Boston ferns are here in numbers so
great that the palms have been crowded
off the place, the last arecas having dis-
appeared this winter. Rubbers appear to
be on the increase. Dracaena terminalis
and Pandanus Veitchii are holding their
own. Both are well done.

Primrose buttercup is not so largely
grown as last year, it having proved a
poor shipper. More than one large house ,
is devoted to shamrock for St. Patrick's
day. The seeds are sown in 2'4-iDcb
pots, almost exclusively. When sham-
rock-shaped pans are desired these pots
can be shipped with the pans, the cus-
tomer filling them, as the pans do not
ship well when filled. The quantity of
Easter plants grown is very large. Crim-
son Rambler roses, Baby Ramblers,
hydrangeas, genistas and the azaleas
before mentioned forming the staples,
rhododendrons lilies and a few other
things being grown in smaller quantities.
The place is in very fine condition.

Now, Wm. K. Harris, have I heaped
coals of fire on your headf

Improvements.

Paul Richter, manager of the Henry F.
Michell Co., pointed out improvements in
the packing and shipping department
by which the company's business will be
more rapidly and easily transacted than
in the past. The entire packing depart-
ment has been transferred to the base-
ment, heretofore used as a storeroom.
This basement is well lighted, has a good
cement floor, and the further advantage
of freedom from interruption. Part is
devoted to storing the less bulky goods
required every day, and part for pack-
ing. The room on the first floor hereto-
fore used for packing will be devoted en-
tirely to shipping, the boxes being there
divided for the different railroads or for
local routes. A new system has been

devised by which the possibility of errdrs
in shipping is even further reduced.

Various Notes.

The Floral Exchange will erect one
new house, mammoth size, for the Rich-
mond rose this spring; 11,000 grafted
plants will be planted therein.

Wm. Kleinheinz, of Ogontz, Pa., the
only Philadelphian who was successful in
winning a first prize at the recent carna-
tion show in Boston, favors pot-gfrown
plants, exclusively. He grows his carna-
tions in pots, planting them out in the
houses in the end of July or early in
August.

Albert Harvey & Sons, of Brandywine
Summit, Chester Co., Pa., are planning
a new range of three houses to be used
for carnations.

Theo. Edwards, of Bridgeton, N. J.,
has the honor of being first in this mar'
ket with several items on the bulbous list^

E. H. Bower, of Chisselhurst, N. J.,
has given the ever active D. T. Connor,
representing the Triple Alliance, an or-
der for one new carnation house 100x20.

Wm. Munro, of Garretsford, Pa., will
rebuild one house 35x150, replacing a
smaller house. It is unnecessary to say
that the before mentioned representative
of the Burnham-Hitchings-Pierson Com-
pany secured the order.

Geo. R. Geiger, a well known florist of
Nazareth, Pa., died January 28.

Dr. Herman Burgen addressed the Ger-
mantown Horticultural Society last Mon-
day evening, on the subject of Gold Fish
and Aquarium Plants,

Edw, A, Stroud, of Strafford, Pa., is
to be congratulated on the fine condition
of his carnation plants. They are in full
crop.

The customers of Edw, Reid are to
be congratulated on securing a corre-
spondent who spares no pains to execute
their orders exactly, no easy task during
times of scarcity like the present.

The Market.

Weather conditions have not been con-
ducive to brisk business during the past
week. For several days it was' too cold
for the street venders to handle any-
thing and that always means poorer
trade-in the wholesale markets. Every-
thing being considered, growers have no
cause for grumbling, although more
stock has been coming in than could be

sold.

American Beauties continue in very
shoi't supply 'and the best grades are
scarce and high. More Brides, Maids,
» and other sorts are coming in, but these
have cleared out pretty well at former
rates. Carnations have not varied a
great deal. No fancy prices are being
realized. Top price on fancies contin-
ues to be $3 to $4 except it be a few
Prosperity or novelties. Some of the
poorer grades are cleared at $1.

Violets seU all the way from 25 cents
to 75 cents, varying according to the
quality as well as the demand. A very
fair demand is at this writing expected
for these on Valentine's day.

Sweet peas are abundant and good.
Valley is not over-plentiful and sells

include white azaleas, Anemone coro-
naria, ranunculus, wallflowers, gladioli,
antirrhinums, stocks, cornflowers, Core-
opsis grandiflora and acacia. There is
a very good call for both asparagus and

Various Comment.

With all the fibae weather, flowers, ex-
cept bulbous stock, are not going to
waste and that is not wasting but it<.
good demand and of the very finest qual
ity. Von oion and Golden Spur narcissi,
Yellow Prince, La Beine and Vermilion
Brilliant tiilips are now at their ver\
best and the public feels like taking
spring flowers.

We lately gave ourselves the pleas
ure of caUing on Miss Grace Newlands,
1838 Main street. They have lately
built a palm house in the rear of the
store and a long, narrow conservatory
between the store and their range of
four houses facing Delavan avenue. It
was a sad blow to both family and
friends when the estimable Donald New-
lands was taken away and his sister has
bravely given up a fine position and
taken hold of the business and I can see
nothing but success in view for her.
They have a very compact and attrac-
tive place and are fortunate in having
an excellent gardener, faithful, diligent
and clever. With these favorable cir-
cumstances and Miss Newlands' tact,
good judgment and splendid character
there can be nothing but success, which
all friends as well as contemporaries will
be glad to see.

;^bins have been very common here
for the past two weeks. Where they put
their heads last week when it was 10
degrees below zero we do not know, but
it's pretty sure they were not singing,
"Meet me in the Cherry Tree, Maud."
An incident of this winter is worth not-
ing. We planted three tulip beds for
a customer on January 17, ground dry
and friable, and they will l^ likely to
give as fine flowers and more lasting
than any planted in October.

Some one has been around this local-
ity and was kind enough to write up
several places. He was very complimen-
tary in notices of the places and had
sweet things to say about a certain es-
tablishment at Corfu. As this was signed
"S" my friends might think it was W.
S. Admitting many weaknesses, we are
not guilty of praising our own offspring
on their humble achievements. We take
more pleasure in calling their attention
to "things they have left undone and
done things they ought not to have
done." David has certainly great car-
nations, mignonette, sweet peas and fine
roses and, last, a fine boy. It is no long-
er a novelty to be told of these recur-
ring events, but when this habit is ac-
quired in a brand new quarter it is
alarming. It means new anxieties for
grandma and grandpa and more Christ-
mas presents. We must excuse* young
parents thinking their offspring the most
wonderful that ever was. It is a natu-
ral law and without it the world would
soon become depopulated. Maternal love
came into the world perhaps millions of
years ago and after ages had elapsed
came paternal love, but not before moth-
er and offspring needed his protection.

wonderful subject get Drummond's As-
cent of Man from your public library.

State of Business.

An immense amount Of stock is being
used in dinner and other table decora-
tions. In variety this takes a wide
range, from orchids and fine roses on
through all available lines of stock. Bul-
bous stocks, the daffodils in particular,
are now very plentiful and it looks as
though they might soon be hard to dis-
pose of at any price. Hawthorns and
other spring flowering plants are appear-
ing in considerable quantity and sell
readily. There are better stocks of
azaleas in sight than there were a week
ago and the smaller sizes are soon
t^en.

Betail prices follow: American Beauty
roses, $10 to $12 per dozen; Killarney,
$4 J best Liberty, $4 and $5 ; Bride, Maid
and Gates, $1.50 and $2.50; best carna-
tions, $1 and $1.25 per dozen; violets,
75 cents and $1 per bunch of fifty; cut
Harrisii and calla lilies, $2 and $3 per
dozen; daffodils, 35 cents to 75 cents per
dozen; tulips, 50 cents and 75 cents per
dozen ; best mignonette, $1.50 and $2 per
dozen; sweet peas, 75 cents and $1 per
bunch. The average retail price of large
pots of rhododendron, lilac, hawthorn,
flowering plum, etc., is $2.50 each. Many
fine azaleas are being broken up and
used in table decorations. Daffodils and
tulips aro also being largely used for
this purpose.

Florists' Qub.

The regular monthly meeting of the
club was held in Scottish Rite hall on
the night of February 6. The announce-
ment that Prof. Woods, of the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, was to give a
stereopticon lecture on the diseases of

carnations had a good effect in bringing
out the members, the hall being well
filled. In opening. Prof. Woods referred
to the recent destructive ravages of dis-
ease, particularly among Lawson carna-
tions, in this District and vicinity. He
alluded to the causes, and illustrated
with the stereopticon the progress of the
disease. As a remedy he advocated spray-
ing, the process to continue while the
plants are in the field.

James T. Scott, representing the F.
R. Pierson Co., Tarrytown-on-Hudson,
was present and gave an interesting ac-
count of his experiences.

It was decided to hold a banquet in
connection with the annual election of
officers at the March meeting. The ban-
quet will be at Freund's catering estab-
lishment, 815 Tenth street Northwest.
Messrs. Macfarland and West and Col.
Biddle, commissioners of the District,
will be invited.

The carnation show was another draw-
ing card that added interest to the pro-
ceedings. Several varieties exhibited
had been seen here last season, but the
majority were new. A list follows:

F. R. Pierson Co., Tarrytown-on-Hud-
son, carnations Winsor, Helen M. Gould
and White Enchantress.

nations must be exhibited at three dif-
ferent periods of the season before a

certificate can be granted. In this con-
nection: Of what value is a certificate
anyway I A strictly first-class carnation
can go it alone; neither will certificates
a foot deep save a "rotten" one. How-
ever, as certificates are the fashion we
have laid in a stock that are things of
beauty and will probably be a joy for-
ever after the exhibitors get them.

Among so many fine blooms from
growers, or originators of known repute
it may seem unfair to particularize.
Time only can thoroughly prove a car-
nation. As shown here, Winsor, Helen
M. Gould, Beacon, Evangeline, Pink Pat-
ten, Mikado, My Maryland, Jessica and
John E. Haines are all fine varieties. So
far as keeping qualities are concerned,
it is my opinion that nothing has yet
been produced that can excel Pierson 's
Winsor and Patten's Mikado.

Haines' Imperial showed remarkable
stems, three feet, stiff, and if they in
time develop flowers in proportion they
will be a great acquisition to the trade.

The Killarney roses exhibited were fine
and served to strengthen the belief that
Killarney has come to be a stayer and
a money maker.

The Market.

Weather conditions liave not been con-
ducive to brisk business during the past
week. For several days it was too cold
for the street venders to handle any-
thing and that always means poorer
trade, in the wholesale markets. Kvery-
thiug beiug considered, growers have no
cause for grumbling, although more
stock has been coming in than could be

sold.

American Beauties continue in very
short supply 'and the best grades are
scarce and high. More lirides, Maids,
and other sorts are coming in, but these
have cleared out pretty well at former
rates. Carnations have not varied a
great deal. No fancy prices are being
realized. Top price on fancies contin-
ues to be $3 to $4 except it be a few
Prosperity or novelties. Some of the
poorer grades are cleared at $1.

Violets sell all the way from L'5 cents
to 75 cents, varying according to the
quality as well as the demand. A very
fair demand is at this wTiting expected
for these on Valentine's day.

Sweet peas are abundant and good.
Valley is not over-plentiful and sells
well. Callas and Easter lilies are each
abundant. Double and single yellow daf-
fodils as well as Narcissus poeticus and
tulips are plentiful. They sell fairly
well, however. Other flowers coming in
include white azaleas. Anemone coro-
naria, ranunculus, wallflowers, gladioli,
antirrhinums, stocks, cornflowers. Core-
opsis grandiflora and acacia. There is
a very good call for both asparagus and
adiantum, but not much demand for smi-

Toy

Pot plants are being brought in in
considerable numbers. Those most seen
are azaleas, genistas, cyclamens, Primu-
la Obonica, bulbous stock and small
ferns in pans.

Various Notes.

The seed trade bowling league closed
the season with a very successful ban-
quet at the Langham on February 12,
to which about seventy-five sat down.
Following the banquet there was speech-
making and an excellent musical pro-

grnm.

We met one our florists on the road
the other day for an old line life insur-

of it already and will be glad to get

Repairs on the vrrecked greenhouses
of the Halifax Garden Co., at Halifax,
Mass., are practically completed.

Doyle had the decorations for the
Stockton-Head wedding at Trinity
church last week. They were executed
in his best taste. Pink azaleas were
used in profusion to good effect.

Benjamin P. Ware, of Marblehead,
who died at the Boston Homoepathic
hospital on February 7, and was in-
terred at Harmony Grove cemetery, Sa-
lem, on February 10, had been a mem-
ber of the Massachusetts Horticultural
Society for a long term of years. He
had faithfully served in many offices,
including that of vice-president, and
was a warm patron of horticulture.

A good audience listened to a lecture
on "Abandoned Farms and Their Ca-
pabilities" at Horticulture hall on Feb-
ruary 10, by Prof. W. M. Munson, of
Orono, Me. On February 17 E. O. Or-
pet, of South Lancaster, will speak on

have a large and interested audience.

Various Comment.

With all the fine weather, flowers, «;%
cept bulbous stock, are not going t
waste and that is not wasting but i
good demand and of the very finest qua:
ity. Von oion and Golden Spur narcisB
Vellow Prince, La Heine and Vermilic.
Brilliant tulips are now at their vei
best aud the public feels like takiu
spring flowers.

We lately gave ourselves the plea>
ure of calling on Miss Grace Newland-
1838 Main street. They have late!;
built a palm house in the rear of th-
store and a long, narrow conservatory
between the store and their range of
four houses facing Delavan avenue. It
was a sad blow to both family and
friends when the estimable Donald New
lands was taken away and his sister ha.s
bravely given up a fine position and
taken hold of the business and i can see
nothing but success in view for her.
They have a very compact and attrac
five place and are fortunate in having
an excellent gardener, faithful, diligent
and clever. With these favorable cir
cumstances and Miss Newlands' tact,
good judgment and splendid character
there can be nothing but success, which
all friends as well as contemporaries will
be glad to see.

Robins have been very common here
for the past two weeks. Where they put
their heads last week when it was 10
degrees below zero we do not know, but
it's pretty sure they were not singing,
' ' Meet me in the Cherry Tree, Maud. ' '
An incident of this winter is worth not-
ing. We planted three tulip beds for
a customer on January 17, ground dry
and friable, and they will be likely to
give as fine flowers and more lasting
than any planted in October.

Some one has been around this local-
ity and was kind enough to write up
several places. He was very complimen
tary in notices of the places and had
sweet things to say about a certain es
tablishment at (Jorfu. As this was signed
"S" my friends might think it was W.
S. Admitting many weaknesses, we are
not guilty of praising our own offspring
on their humble achievements. We take
more pleasure in calling their attention
to "things they have left undone and
done things they ought not to have
done. ' ' David has certainly g^eat car-
nations, mignonette, sweet peas and fine
roses and, last, a fine boy. It is no long
er a novelty to be told of these recur
ring events, but when this habit is ac
qtiired in a brand new quarter it is
alarming. It means new anxieties for
grandma and grandpa and more Christ
mas presents. We must excuse* young
parents thinking their offspring the most
wonderful that ever was. It is a natu-
ral law and without it the world wouhl
soon become depopulated. Maternal love
came into the world perhaps millions of
years ago and after ages had elapsed
came paternal love, but not before moth-
er and offspring needed his protection.
If you want to be further posted on this
wonderful subject get Drummond's As-
cent of Man from your public library.

Carnation Show of the Washington Florists' Club, on February 6, 1906.

Mme. Bernhardt gave a small select
supper to her friends at one of our fash-
ionable apartment hotels on Sunday
night and Byrne Bros, were hustling
around to procure 2,000 sweet violets
and we hope they got them.

Prof. Cowell leaves next week for a
trip to Porto Eico and Cuba with Prof.
Britton, of New York, and two other
learned gentlemen. They expect to make

WASHINGTON.

State of Business.

An immense amount of stock is being
used in dinner and other table decora-
tions. In variety this takes a wide
range, from orchids and fine roses on
through all available lines of stock. Bul-
bous stocks, the daffodils in particular,
•ire now very plentiful and it looks as
though they might soon be hard to dis-
pose of at any price. Hawthorns and
other spring flowering plants are appear-
ing in considerable quantity and sell
readily. There are better stocks of
azaleas in sight than there were a week
ago and the smaller sizes are soon
taken.

Eetail prices follow: American Beauty
roses, $10 to $12 per dozen; Killarney,
$4; best Liberty, $4 and $5; Bride, Maid
and Gates, $1.50 and $2.50; best carna-
tions, $1 and $1.25 per dozen ; violets,
75 cents and $1 per bunch of fifty; cut
Harrisii and ealla lilies, $2 and $3 per
dozen; daffodils, 35 cents to 75 cents per
<lozen; tulips, 50 cents and 75 cents per
dozen ; best mignonette, $1.50 and $2 per
dozen; sweet peas, 75 cents and $1 per
bunch. The average retail price of large
pots of rhododendron, lilac, hawthorn,
flowering plum, etc., is $2.50 each. Many
fine azaleas are being broken up and
used in table decorations. Daffodils and
tulips arc also being largely used for
this purpose.

Florists* Club.

The regular monthly meeting of the
club was held in Scottish Rite hall on
the night of Februarv 6. The announce-
ment that Prof. Woods, of the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, was to give a
stereopticon lecture on the diseases of

carnations had a good effect in bringing
out the members, the hall being well
filled. Ill opening, Prof. Woods referred
to the recent destructive ravages of dis- ;
ease, particularly among Lawson carna-
tions, in this District and vicinity. He \
alluded to the causes, and illustrated
with the stereopticon the progress of the
disease. As a remedy he advocated spray-
ing, the process to continue while the
plants are in the field.

James T. Scott, representing the F. !
R. Pierson Co., Tarrytown-on-Hudson, ,
was present and gave an interesting ac- ;
count of his experiences.

It was decided to hold a banquet in
connection with the annual election of !
officers at the March meeting. The ban-
quet will be at Freund's catering estab-
lishment, 815 Tenth street Northwest.
Messrs. Macfarlaiid and West and Col.
Biddle, commissioners of the District,
will be invited. ]

The carnation show was another draw-
ing card that added interest to the pro- i
ceedings. Several varieties exhibited
had been seen here last season, but the
majority were new. A list follows:

F. R. Pierson Co., Tarrytown-on-Hud-
son, carnations Winsor, Helen M. Gould ■
and White Enchantress.

Patten & Co., Tewksbury, Mass., Pink \
Patten and Mikado.

H. Weber & Sons Co., Oakland, Md.,

riegated and pink Imperial. The latter
is a sport of the former.

man, Washington, D. C, Enchantress and

C, Peter Bisset, head gardener, vase of
Killarney roses.

Southwick C. Briggs, Washington, D. ,
C. Carl Anderson, gardener, Killarney
roses and Enchantress carnations. |

By the rules of the club roses and car-
nations must be exhibited at three dif- ;
ferent periods of the season before a j

certificate can be granted. In this con-
nection : Of what value is a certificate

ever, as certificates are the fashion we
have laid in a stock that are things of
beauty and will probably be a joy for-
ever after the exhibitors get them.

it may seem unfair to particularize.
Time only can thoroughly prove a car-
nation. As shown here, Winsor, Helen
M. (Jdiild. Beacon, Evangeline, Pink Pat
ten, Mikado, ^ly Maryland, Jessica and
John E. Haines are all fine varieties. So
far as keeping qualities are concerned,
it is my opinion that nothing has yet
been produced that can excel Pierson 's
Winsor and Patten's Mikado.

Haines' Imperial showed remarkable
stems, three feet, stiff, and if they in
time develop flowers in proportion they
will be a great acquisition to the trade.

The Killarney roses exhibited were fine
and ser\-ed to strengthen the belief that
Killarney has come to be a stayer and
a iiKiney maker.

his range of glass the coming season.

Pleasant Hill, Mo. — At the George
M. Kellogg estabUshment a freak calla
was recently found, one of those which
occasionaly are seen with a double spathe.

RocKFORD, III. — C. W. Johnson, who
for about five years has been superin-
tendent for H. W. Buckbee, has resigned
and wUl about March 1 remove to Seat-
tle, Wash., to enter into partnership in
a business there.

Mansfield, O. — The Berno Floral
Co. has begun the erection of a block
of short-span houses to cover a ground
area of 112x180. The gutters are to bo
seven feet high, the place is to be heat-
ed by steam and is to be strictly up-to-
date in all its features.

Carthage, Mo. — Perry Finn 's sport of
Enchantress is about the color of the
F. R. Pierson Co. 's sport named for
Helen Gould, but the outer petals shade
toward the Daybreak pink, which is also
the color of the variegations, while in
the Gould the markings are a still darker
pink. Mr. Finn 's flower is large.

RiDGEFiELD, CONN. — Piuchbecii Bros,
have dissolved partnership and the busi-
ness is continued by William Pinchbeck,
Jr. This is the best year the firm has
yet experienced at this location. Carna-
tions are fine. Enchantress and Harlo-
warden are well liked. May Nay lor is
the best white. Of- the older varieties,
Genevieve Lord and Maceo arc very
good.

Louisville, Ky. — The third annual

besides the public. Flowers should reach
here the 20th, or the morning of the
2l8t. Address exhibits to Fred L.
Schulz, secretary, 644 Fourth avenue,
Louisville, Ky.

Rhinebeck, N. Y. — Under ordinary
circumstances few violets are shipped
from this locality on Sunday, but this
week a very heavy shipment was dis-
patched on Sunday night to be in time
to reach Chicago for the St. Valentine's
day demand. It is said the shipments
made practically a car load. It has not
been such a bad season for the violet
growers as many expected, the opening
of the western markets serving to re-
lieve the congestion in New York. Quite
a, little building is planned for the early
spring.

Johnstown, Pa, — William Schmidi
has leased the building on Franklin streei
recently purchased by the United States:
National Bank.

end of the bed.

MoNTANDON, Pa. — The dwelling and
boiler house connected with the green-
houses of John C. Wenzel were destroyed
by fire at two o 'clock on the morning of
February 6. The fire originated in the
boiler house and the direction of the
wind saved the greenhouses^ but much
of the stock was ruined.

Nbw York, N. Y. — The Johns-Man-
ville Co. held its annual convention of
salesmen here the past week, 150 being
present. The purpose is to discuss op-
portunities and methods of extending the
business. The use of fuel saving pipe
and boiler coverings was reported largely
on the increase among greenhouse own-
ers.

Sharon, Pa. — The heating apparatus
at the establishment of Harry Clark
broke down aurin^ the recent cold spell
and all the stock in six greenhouses was
frozen up. Mr. Clark had purchased the
business a couple of years ago from Ed-
win McConnell and had just got things
to running nicely. He is very greatly
discouraged at his loss, which puts him
out of business, temporarily at least.

St. Joseph, Mo. — The Stuppy Floral
Co. has prepared plans for a range of
greenhouses soon to be erected at Lo^t^ers'
Lane and Ashland avenue, where the

one plant each of seventy-six named va-
rieties of peonies. These were planted
at Arlington Farm, under the care of
Prof. L. C. Corbett, and will, when in
bloom, be open to the inspection of the
8. A. F., its peony conxmittee and the
public. Mr. Bisset advises Edwin Lons-
dale, of the committee, that he hopes
to get the Department to add largely to
its list of varieties and that the trials
will be of the utmost value.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

Throughout last week trade progressed
at a laggard pace but Monday morning
opened with an influx of orders that took
the market by surprise and occasioned the
most vigorous rustling for stock which
has been necessary thus far this year.
Tn fact, it was a busier day than the
market has seen, except at holiday time,
in many months. The demand was prin-
cipally for carnations and roses, but
many other items also cleaned up well.
Tuesday brought a large call for violets
for "Valentine's day and Wednesday
morning also saw a brisk city demand in
this department.

Beauties continue very short. The
quality is nothing to brag about, but
buyers are not critical. They are glad
to get the Beauties without question of
price and without insisting on too close
selection. Tea roses have improved in
quality with a few days of fine winter
weather. Maids are again of excellent
color and substance. The demand for
select stock is considerably ahead of the
supply. There is no trouble in getting
$12 to .$15 per hundred for the best
Maids and Brides, but this does not im-
ply that indifferent grades can be placed
in the select class. Short roses are in
special demand and for the past fort-
night have been making exceedingly good
averages for the growers. Both Liberty
and Richmond are scarce. Some very
fine Chatenay are seen and also Uncle
John.

The weather has been favorable to
carnations, the supply has increased and
at the same time the flowers have taken

on some of that , crispness which the
handlers so like to see. It means that
shipping and keeping quality has im-
proved. Last week there were carna-
tions to spare, but on Monday orders
had to be cut and again on Tuesday.
While the prices were not shoved up, they
were, nevertheless, firmly held at quoted
rates.

The market is full of bulbous material,
including practically everything on the
list. The fancy tulips are selling well
but so much can hardly be said for any
other item. The demand for callas and
Harrisii has passed. Paper Whites and
common tulips are selling very cheaply.
A few sweet peas are seen, but quality is
not high. Violets came in heavily this
week and on Monday and Tuesday sold
out well at prices ranging from 50 cents
to $1 per hundred according to quality.
The St. Valentine 's day demand was
never more apparent.

The green goods market is taking on
new activity.

The Season's Production.

It seems quite evident that the aver-
age grower is not producing so good or
so much stock this year as last. Of
course there are exceptions, and the fact
is more apparent of roses than of car-
nations at most establishments, but near- ,
ly all wholesalers agree that, even with
the considerable increase in glass, the
total receipts of stock in this market
are no larger, if they are even so large
as last year. From reports, the same is
true of many other markets.

The good growers have not done as
well as usual thus far this year but it is
pointed out that some who have poor

houses or who practice indifferent
methods have had better results than
usual. This is explained by the fact of
moderate temperatures and an almost un-
precedented amount of sunshine during
the past three months.

Death of Geo. Wietor.

George Wietor died on Tuesday at
12:30 o'clock at his home at 221 Devon
avenue. He was 73 years of age and
had suffered for some months with drop-
sy. The funeral will be held from St.
Henry's church, High Ridge at 9:30 this
morning.

Mr. Wietor was one of the earliest to
engage in the forcing of vegetables, an
industry which has now become so great
in the Rogers Park section where he has
lived for so many years. When the two
sons, Henry and Nicholas J., were ready
to go into business for themselves they
established the Rogers Park Rose Co. at
the old place, the father at that time
giving up the active cares of business,
but he has, until failing strength for-
bade, found his chief pleasure in the
work in the greenhouses. The firm name
was shortly changed to Wieter Bros, and
the business developed to be among the
largest in the country.

Qub Meeting.

The Florists' Club met February 8.
John Ziska and N. P. Miller were elected
to membership. Jas. Psenecka, H. J.
Stockman, J. S. Dekema and Joseph

carnation show on March 8 and E. F.
Winterson was appointed manager. A
niunber of out-of-town growers have in-
dicated their intention of being present,
all the season's novelties will be shown
and it promises to be the best carnation
show the club has ever had.

Following the club meeting there was
a short meeting of the IlEnois State
Florists' Association, both Chairman
Hartshorne and Secretary Hasselbring
being present. The approaching Peoria
convention was informally discussed.

Various Notes.

C. L. Washburn, of Bassett & Wash-
burn, to whom the coal supply is one of
the never-ending problems, says that if
growers will take his advice they will
at once proceed to put in a supply of
fuel to last until the end of the present
firing season.

Stollery Bros, are marketing a largo
lot of La Seine tulips in small pots.

Harry Klunder was out this week
without his cane for the first time in
several weeks.

E. F. Winterson spent Sunday on the
north shore, a part of the day with his
friend, Fritz Bahr, at Highland Park.
Mr. Winterson says he thinks very highly
of Mr. Bahr's seedling carnation, white
with markings closely resembling Pros-
perity.

George Eeinberg says that the rooted
cutting business is starting off in fine
shape but he notes that the demand is
for the newer and better varieties and
that the older sorts go slowly.

C. W. McKellar reports that the crop
of Catileya Trianse is passing off and
that orchids will shortly be harder to
get and bring more money.

Peter Eeinberg has the last few days
been experiencing some of the disadvan-
tages of being alderman. He has spent
most of his time listening to alternating
delegations from the 240 saloons in his
ward and from those who favor the pro-
posed increase in license. At the same
time his mail on the subject is about a
bushel of letters a day.

Elehm's Nursery, after testing 200

The Market

White stock has not been very plenti-
ful the past week. Prices on roses and
carnations have not changed; some
bulbous stock has, however, been sold
very cheap. Business moves along very
quietly, no rush to be seen anywhere; a
few good decorations, but not enough to
cause any comment.

The weather was pleasant part of the
week, but we had several of those dark
days when you could scarcely recognize a
friend across the street at noon, the kind
of days that Mr. Eandolph says would
make a stranger think, on going into one
of our greenhouses, that it had a sheet
iron roof.

ness a little over a year ago at Vander-

Qub Meeting.

The Pittsburg and Allegheny Florists'
and (hardeners' Club met Tuesday even-
ing, February 6. After the regular busi-
ness had been disposed of, there being
no opposition for the various oflfices the
oflBcers for the ensuing year were de-
clared unanimously elected. Mr. Lang-
hans called the new president, John
Jones, to the chair. Mr. Jones thanked
the club for the honor conferred and said
some very complimentary things of the
oflBcers who had preceded him, also of
the club, which embraces 163 active mem-
bers. He gave the members to under-
stand that much would be expected of
them this year in the way of assistance,
as this is to be the best year of the
club. The president then called on
Charlie Crall to talk on the carnation
convention. Mr. Crall, in his remarks,
eomplimented the Boston florists on their
kind and thoughtful treatment of their
guests and on the excellent arrangements
for the exhibition and the splendid
show. He spoke also of the diflFerent

varieties and of the methods of growing
stock in that section, and woimd up by
stating that he had received full compen-
sation for the time taken to make the
trip.

Carnations, the subject for the even-
ing, was taken up. A vase of Glendale,
grown by Vesey & Co., of Fort Wayne,
Ind., was presented and created a good
impression. It was accepted as one of
the best of its class, but variegated stock
is not in demand in this market.

Other exhibits were:

Guttman & Weber, a vase of Victory,
which was accepted as one of the good
things with a good record.

John Murchie, two seedlings grown by
the Pittsburg Rose and Carnation Co.,
one of which was a very fine red, good
color, good flower and good stem. The
other, a pink one, had all of these quali-
ties, besides being a pink shade that is
not overdone. These seedlings were es-
pecially well received.

John E. Haines, Bethlehem,* Pa., had
several good things, one of them. Im-
perial, variegated, stems three feet long
and very strong. WhUe this was con-
ceded to be good, it was passed as of no
use in this market, but his red John E.
Haines was so highly approved that a
committee of recommendation was ap-
pointed to express to Mr. Haines the ap-
proval of the club. Several of the mem-
bers spoke of increasing the orders
which they had already placed.

The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. ex-
hibited a cut from the Pittsburg Rose
and Carnation Co., containing a number
of each of the following: Helen God-
dard. Jubilee, Flamingo, Estello, Fred
Burki, Lady Bountiful and Enchantress,

all of which were well done. Mr. Burki
gave a detailed history of them from the
cutting bench to the exhibition table,
which contained information worthy of
consideration.

The Pittsburg Florists' Exchange
showed about ten vases, of as man^ va-
rieties, which were all good, including a
bunch of Nelson, grown by Wm. Swayne,
of Kennett Square, also a sport from
Lawson of Enchantress color.

Blind Bros., a vase of Lawson and
several others.

Mr. Hatch, gardener for D. M. Clem-
son, a vase of assorted carnations and
pot plants, grown in the heart of the
city. While the carnations would not
compare with some of the aristocrats on
exhibition, Mr. Randolph said a gardener
who could produce such stock under the
conditions, that is, in houses that occa-
sionally looked as if they were covered
with sheet iron, deserved great credit.

John Wyland was very much in evi-
dence with his show of Fiancee, Fred
Burki, Bountiful and Eclipse, one of the
best commercial pinks shown. Uncle
John thinks very weU of Fred Burki as
a white; good-sized flowers and the best
stemmed white shown.

During the evening the secretary read
the following report: Club membership
to February 6, 1906, 153 ; accessions dur-
ing year ending February 5, 1906, 18;
resignations, 3; deaths, 2. Up to date,
February 6, all bills are paid and $98.65
is in the treasury.

After which was closed one of the
most interesting meetings ever held by
the club. One can hardly understand
how any grower can aflford to miss these
opportunities of meeting his friends and

that if the grower will turnish such
stock, it will be good enough for them.

DETROIT.

The Market.

Business remains about the same.
Cold, clear weather has improved stock
in general, and roses especially show a
marked improvement. Lawson carnations
are a glut on the market, while other
varieties are still quite scarce.

Qub Meeting.

The subject for the evening. Whole-
sale House Criticisms, was very openly
discussed at the last regular meeting of
the Detroit Florists' Club.

Speaking from a general viewpoint it
was shown that the commission houses
take a great deal of worry off the re-
tailers' bands. In former years if a
retail florist had an order for several
hundred violets he would call up every
grower for miles around, but now we
simply call up our commission man, and
if there are any violets to be had in our
vicinity we get them.

The remark was made that while fifteen
per cent commission was all right for
handling flowers it was too much com-
mission on plants. Manager Wm. Dilger
responded to this by saying that if the
plants could be left at the growers', who
also looked after the packing and de-
livering, the commission house acting
merely as agent, then a lower percentage
would be all right, but when the whole-

sale house has to store the plants, pack
them and see to their safe delivery, and
that maybe in zero weather, it is an-
other matter.

In speakmg of prices, it was shown
that the matter lies to a large extent in
the growers' hands. W^hen a retailer
buys a bunch of carnations at 4 cents
and he is sure of twenty-live 4-cent
flowers in that bunch, you will never
hear a kick, but when he gets four or six
2-cent blooms in every twenty-five, then
no one can blame him for protesting. If
every grower ran a retail store for a
time he would soon learn to grade his
stock more carefully. If you haven't
twenty-five 4-cent white, then put in
cnougli 4-cent pink to make up the
bunch, but don't stick in L'-cent or
2VL>-cent stock; keep that separate.
Taking the convenience into considera-
tion, there is no complaint of paying a
local supply house a few pennies more
for an article than the out of town houses
ask.

Soiiicoiie suggested that the local house
could carry a complete line of baskets
and supplies. This is impossible; be-
sides, then our styles would remain the
same from year to year and customers
would soon tire of baskets, etc.

In speaking of our local commission
houses one fault, hard to be remedied,
is the late arrival of goods, the bulk ar-
riving at 11 a. ni. inis holds everyone |
back on some of the morning's orders,
and then when the stock arrives there is
so large a number of buyers waiting that
it is a wonder any of the regular orders
are taken care of at all.

The result of the whole meeting was
that a committee of two was appointed,
namely, Tom Browne and James Taylor, ;
to arrange for a meeting of the growers,
the object being to get more, if not all,
to ship to the commission houses; also
to fight the peddler who sells a lot of
flowers to some store man for a little be-
low the prevailing market price, pockets
his money and goes home rejoicing.

It was suggested that a scale of retail
prices be set each week, but the difficulty
with this is the man on the outskirts can
always afford to sell cheaper than thj
down-town store man, who has double
the expenses and more particular cus-
tomers.

The committee on cement construction

awarded the first prize, a box of cigars,
to Ed. Beard. The Cleveland Cut Flower
Co.'s exhibit was well thought of, but
being a tile and not a cement bench, it
was in a class by itself.

Herman Knope is back in harness
again and is expected to be at the next
meeting.

The questions in the box were held over
until the next meeting.

A. J. Stakelin was given favorable
mention for a fine vase of white liawson.
Mr. Stakelin is still young in the busi-
ness, but judging from his fine stock one
would think differently.

VariotM Notes.

Wm. Brown had charge of the decora-
tions for the Junior hop at Ann Arbor.
The ceilings in the two large halls were
draped in bunting of the college colors,
and the walls were trimmed with southern

^n the gymnasium garland was used.
The prevailing flowers carried by the
ladies present were Beauties and violets.

winter at last and lots of it. The
retailers have no complaint to make,
.^usiness has been steady and satisfac-

some kick, as a matter of habit, and
complain on general principles, but it
has been a good year for all and most
of them have the grace to say so.

The wholesale rates for the best Beau-
ties, Maids and novelties, including
Ricnmond, have not been higher since
Christmas. The supply is insufficient
for the demand. It is becoming fash-
ionable for a millionaire's family to lim-
it the florist to no set sum for a piece
of work and as New York is now a city
of millionaires it is little wonder the
retailers are not only all making money,
but many of them putting it away. A
lot of them paid $1 apiece for their
iieauties Saturday. Some stock came
to town frozen during the extreme weath-
er of last week.

all new carnations to be disseminated by
the F. R. Pierson Co. Mr. Totty refer-
red to the meeting of the award and ex-
hibition committee and its discussion of
ways and means of drawing exhibits to
the monthly meetings, suggesting the of-
fering of money prizes as follows: For
the carnation meeting, February 12, for
the best vases of carnations, 25 blooms

in each, $15, $10, $5, with an extra
prize of $5 for the best vase in the ex-
hibit; for the March meeting, $30 for
the best display of orchids; for the
April meeting, $5 for the best vase of
twelve blooms of Bride, Maid, red roses,
hybrid tea and any other rose not spec-
ified and $10 for twelve Beauty; at the
May meeting, $25 for exhibits of bed-
ding plants; at the November meeting,
$30 for mums.

A long discussion arose as to the ad-
visability of the departure from old
methods. Mr. Weathered suggested the
I)ossibility of discord and stated his
preference for the award of medals, cer-
tificates, etc He was ably seconded by
Messrs. Wheeler and May. In behalf
of the innovation addresses were made
by Messrs. Totty, James Scott, C. W.
Ward, John Birnie and L. Dupuy. Of
the $140 suggested by the committee for
the year's prizes, Mr. Ward offered to
give the entire amount and Mr. Dupuy
guaranteed the entire sum set aside for
the evening's awards and Mr. Birnie for
the April meeting. Mr. Guttman sug-
gested classes in the prize offers, giv-
ing the smaller growers opportunities.

prizes but moved that further consider-

March meeting.

The award committee announced the
granting of a preliminary certificate to
Alma Ward, 94 points; and Elsa
Struss, 90 points.

The exhibitors were John Eeimels, of
Woodhaven, who staged Winsome, Var-
iegated Lawson, Harry Fenn, Fiancee
and Seedling Ho. 32; F. E. Pierson Co.,
who staged Winsor, Eed Lawson, Var-
iegated Lawson and White Enchantress;
Velie Bros., Marlboro, M. Y., who staged
Enchantress, Nelson Fisher, M. A. Pat-
ten and Lady Bountiful; Cottage Gar-
dens Co., who staged Eobert Craig, Al-
ma Ward, Enchantress and Elsa Struss;
Rudolph Fischer, Great Neck, who
staged Carnation Abundance and Free-
sia Purity; Guttman & Weber, who
showed Victory; L. E. Enggren, Aque-
duct, L. I., who had a pink seedling car-
nation; H. Weber & Sons Co., Oakland,
Md., who sent Jessica and My Mary-
land; W. J. & M. S. Vesey, Fort Wayne,
Ind., who sent Glendale. The prizes
were awarded: First to the Cottage
Gardens Co.; second, to F, E. Pierson &
Co. ; third, to Velie Bros., and the special
prize for the best vase on exhibition
went to Cottage Gardens for Alma Ward.

C. W. Ward's illustrated lecture on
the carnation held the interest of the
audience for nearly an hour and received
the hearty thanks of the club. Eobert
Craig, of Philadelphia, gave a most en-
joyable talk on the carnation, embody-
ing his experiences of thirty-five years,
irom 1858, when Charles Zeller imported
the Purity, which held its place as the
best and most profitable sort for fifteen
years, and President De Graw, the fa-
mous white, which he compared with Al-
ma Ward. He spoke of John Thorpe's
Portia, the color yet unequaled, and the
first deep pink Century which he com-
pared with Elsa Struss. He spoke elo-
quently of the work Mr. Ward and the
other carnation experts had accom-
plished, the unprofitable work of rais-
ing seedlings and the reputation and ac-
complishments that would crown the
memories of the growers long after they
had passed away. F. R. Pierson spoke
briefly owing to the lateness of the hour,
and votes of thanks were given all the
orators.

Various Notes.

Wednesday and Thursday of this
week are American Institute days, with
many lectures and exhibits as before an-
nounced, with Prof. Bailey, of Cornell,
and Eobt. Craig, of Philadelphia, among
the speakers.

Chas. H. Grant, who for some time
has had charge of the Abraham &
Strauss florists' department in Brook-
lyn, is back with his old employers, J.
H. Small & Sons, on Broadway. John
Eeese has assumed the management at
the Brooklyn department store in his
place. Mr. Eeese was married January
24 to Miss Charlotte Strausz, of Brook-
lyn.

Harvey C. Mallon, son of John Mal-
lon, of Brooklyn, celebrated his twenty-
first birthday last Friday and among
his presents was a handsome gold watch
from his father. Harvey is one of the
four heavy-weights in the family and at
227 the lightest of the quartette. His
uncle, Joe, another of the old-time firm
of Mallon & Sons, tips the beam at 250.
His father is 260 and his grandfather,
the original Mallon, now a veteran of
over 70 years, makes them all look puny
with his 325 pounds. It is doubtful if
any family of florists in the world can
show three generations to compare with
this remarkable aggregation.

Frank W. Dobbs, for years with Wad-
ley & Smythe, died of intestinal can-
cer at his home, Hartsdale, N. Y., on
February 6, after a long illness and sev-
eral painful operations. He was a great
favorite and very much esteemed; a
man of sterling character and the right-
hand man of the firm, both at Newport
and New York. His Masonic brethren
had charge of the funeral services. A
beautiful vereath of valley was sent by
his associates and the firm sent a mag-
nificent casket blanket of the same, his
favorite flower. Messrs. Siebrecht &
Son also sent handsome remembrances.
Mr. Dobbs was a relative of Mrs. Wm.
Siebrecht.

Charles B. Hanft, of Hanft Bros., this
season will manage the Surf House, at
Highland Beach, N. Y. Many New York
florists find this a delightful place for
their summer outings. Julian N. Hanft,
one of the original Hanft Bros., is still
a busy member of the aggregation at

TWIN CITIES.

The Market

Trade conditions have been indeed
very good, particularly the last few days,
as all dealers have experienced a very
heavy demand for funeral work. Stock
has been coming in very nicely. Roses
are fairly plentiful and some very fine
stock is shown, particularly in pink, as
we have four good varieties in Chatenay,
Killarney, Moultons and Bridesmaid.
Good Richmond sell well, but the grower
has to have a large number of them in
order to be able to cut many that can
be called selects. Carnations command a
good figure, bringing from 75 cents to
$1.50 a dozen. Some of our violet grow-
ers have had, if anything, more than
what was called for, but on account of
the good season that they have had they
can well afford to lose a few. White
lilac has been used considerably the past
week and orchids have also been used
to some extent, also large numbers of
valley.

Minneapolis.

Ralph Latham reports a good trade;

in fact he says he will be well satisfied if
trade keeps up as well as it has the
paot week, from now until Easter.

O. C. Swanson says trade is good and
is well satisfied at the way stock is com-
ing in. The mild winter has had a prof-
itable effect on not only the retailer, but
likewise the grower. Mr. Swanson thinks
well of the new pink rose. Miss Kate
Moulton, and is able to sell them in
preference to other pinks; a perfect
Moulton is hard to beat, their demand
for it is heavy and customers ask for it
as the Minneapolis rose.

Rice Bros, are doing nicely. They have
contracts with some retailers to supply
certain stocks the year around. They
turn over their stock on small margins
and have succeeded in building up a nice
trade, both in and out of town.

The New York Floral Co. makes it a
practice to have from 1,000 to 2,000 car-
nations at all times and disposes of large
numbers at 75 cents a dozen.

St. PauL

The Ramaley Floral Co. has been do-
ing a very nice business but was unfor-
tunate in cashing checks. Saturday night

WASHINGTON, D. C.

a man about 50 years old ordered a
wreath for $6 to be delivered Sunday
morning and in payment tendered a
check for $15, receiving $9 in cash.
The delivery boy was unable to find the
number and the check also came back.
The same man played the same game
on C. F. Haupt.

L. L. May & Co. report good business.
At the greenhouses they have a big lot
of Easter lilies and from all appearance
they will have them ready by the thou-
sands.

Owing to the death of T. C. Field, one
of our leading merchants, all retailers
have been kept very busy the last few
days. Some dealers have reported deliv-
ering for this one funeral as many
as throe wagons well filled with designs.

CINONNATL

The Market

The business the past week did not
develop anything very startling, but it
moved along in good shape and in the
long run was first-class. The wholesale
houses report shipping trade quiet. Home
trade has been good and has made up
for the lack of out-of-town business.

The supply of stock has not been
heavy, so the demand has cleaned up all
that was to be had. Roses and carna-
tions have been in about equal supply.
Bulbous stock has been coming in larger
quantities and has been selling very
well at good prices. Some extra good
Dutch hyacinths are offered and meet
with ready sale. Good long-stemmed
tulips in all colors are very good stock
and sell well. Green goods are selling
only fairly.

It is to be hoped that Valentine's
day will make a Doom in the violet
market, as this flower sadly needs a
boost. At this writing prospects are
good for that day and with the supply

The Rose Show.

The annual rose show of the Florists'
Society took place last Saturday. The
exhibition this year, while not large,
was very good as to quality and was well
worth seeing. The majority of the stock
shown came from out of town and was
a credit to the growers.

Peter Keinberg, Chicago, made a very
nice exhibit, staging Beauty, Bride,
Maid, Ivory, Meteor, Uncle John and
Chatenay. The vase of Uncle John de-
served special mention.

Weiland & dinger staged Beauty,
Maid, Bride, Uncle John and Chatenay.

Sunderbruch & Meier staged Bride and
Bridesmaid which were a great credit to
that firm.

The Minneapolis Floral Co., Minne-
apolis, sent a vase of their new rose,
Miss Kate Moulton, which certainly made
a fine showing. It showed fine shipping
and staying qualities. It is a beautiful
medium shade of pink, very long stem,
a very large flower which opens in a very
pleasing manner. It is a little single,
but it is such a beautiful thing that
the general opinion was that there is
a place for it.

One of the chief attractions of the
show was a vase of Carnation Aristocrat.
It was in fine form and made a great
showing.

The prizes were awarded as follows:
Peter Keinberg received first on Beauty,
Ivory, Meteor and Uncle John; third
on Bridesmaid and Bride. Weiland &
dinger received second on Beauty, Maid,
Bride and Chatenay ; third on Uncle John
and first on best general display. Sun-
derbruch & Meier received first on Bride
and Bridesmaid.

For the S. A. F. medals the Miss Kate I

Moulton received ninety points. These
medals are not awarded till after our
March meeting.

A meeting of the society was held in
the evening. Two new members were
•voted in, J. P. dinger and Wm. H. Gar-
dener. It was decided to send out invi-
tations to all florists who possibly can
do so to come to our carnation show,
March 10. Not only will the show be
well worth seeing, but the Cincinnati
boys will spread a banquet for the visi-
tors. All growers of seedling carnations
are requested to make note of this date.

Various Notes.

Miss White, of Lexington, Ky., left
last week on a trip through California,
to be gone a month or more.

Visitors were Wm. Heinl, of Jackson-
ville, 111., and Martin Beukauf, of Bay-

ersdorf & Co.

The Market

The business for the past week has
been only fair, very poor some days and
good the others. First-class roses have
been scarce, especially fancy grades in
Bride and Maid and Eichmond. In first
and second grades the commission men
have a fair supply, which, of course, sell
well at good prices. Of Beauties there
are enough for the demand.

Carnations are very plentiful in all
grades and varieties, top price being $5
for extra fancy Enchantress, Lawson and
Lady Bountiful. Some extra fine Nelson
Fisher were seen the past week. The
best red in the market is Cardinal, but it
is not very plentiful. Violets continue
to arrive in large quantities. For the
best Californias 40 cents is asked, and

60 cents for doubles. Bulbous stock of
all kinds is very plentiful, especially
Koman hyacinths and Paper Whites.
Von Sions are just coming in and sell
well. Tulips are somewhat scarce. CaUas
are easy, but Harrisii have a good call.
Lily of the valley is in demand and not
overplentiful.

Smilax'is plentiful, the demand being
rather slow the past week. Other greens
are equal to all demands.

Club Meeting.

The carnation meeting held February
8 drew the largest attendance the club
has had this year, the number being
forty-eight. The exhibition was very
large and the stock of fine quality.
Among those who exhibited were: W. J.
u, M. S. Vesey, Fort Wayne, Ind., who
staged a red sport of Glendale, Lawson,
Lady Bountiful, Glendale, The Belle and
Enchantress. H. Weber & Sons Co., dak-
land, Md., showed My Maryland and Jes-
sica. D. C. Noble, of Columbia City,
Ind., showed a fine vase of light pink
sport of Lawson. John Hartje, Indian-
apolis, sent that fine pink, Candace. The
Minneapolis Floral Co., of Minneapolis,
Minn., staged a fine vase of the new
rose. Miss Kate Moulton. Among the
local growers Wm. Winter, Kirkwood,
had Enchantress, Patten, Lawson and
Bountiful; J. F. Ammann, Edwardsville,
Enchantress, Patten, Lawson and Lady
Bountiful; Henry Braun, foreman for
A. Jablonsky, Wellston, brought Eclipse,
Lady Bountiful, Enchantress, Flamingo
and Patten; Theo. Klockenkemper, En-
chantress, T^dy Bountiful and Flamingo ;
dohn Steidle, a fine pink sport of En-
chantress.

The meeting opened at 2 o'clock, with
all the officers present. The by-laws were
a^.opted and ordered printed. The dis-
cussions for this meeting were laid over

until next spring. The question of hold-
ing a flower show this year came up for
aiscussion and on a vote the club decided
to hold no show this year. It was also
decided to hold our annual rose show at
the next meeting of the club Thursday,
March 8, with classes as follows: Best
twenty-tive red, pink and any other color,
with prizes of $5 for first and $3 for
second in each of the four classes.

The president appointed Messrs. Guy,
Herzog and Ude judges for the carna-
tions on exhibition. Their report was as
follows: For best vase of red, W. J. &
M. S. Vesey, first, on red sport of Glen-
dale; second, Theo. Klockenkemper, on
Flamingo. Best white, H. Weber &
Sons Co.. first, on Mv Maryland; sec-
ond, W. J. & M. S."^ Vesey, on Lady

Bountiful. Best light pink, Wm. "Win-
ter, first, on Enchantress; second, D. C.
iSloble, on pink sport of Lawson. Best
dark pink, first, W. J. & M. S. Vesey;
second. J. F. Ammann, both on Lawson.
Best variegated, first, Wm. Winter, with
Patten ; second, H. Weber & Sons Co., on
Jessica. John Steidle received honorable
mention on his pink sport of Enchantress.
The new pink rose Miss Kate Moulton
received the club's certificate of merit.
John Hartje's Candace was also well
spoken of by the judges. Mrs. Vesey
also showed a fine lot of sweet peas
worthy of mention.

This was by far the club's best carna-
tion exhibition. A good word must also
be said for the trustees, Messrs. Beyer,
Weber and Fillmore. They were on hand

early and had everything staged and the
hall in shape to open the meeting
promptly.

Visitors were C. C. Mayhew, of the
Texas Nursery Co., Sherman, Tex,; R. E.
Euaolph, of Paducah, Ky., and Geo. M.
Kellogg, of Pleasant Hill, Mo. Presi-
dent Ammann had to leave early and
Vice-President John Steidle closed the
meeting in his usual good style. The
next meeting promises to be as interest-
ing as this one was and a full attend-
ance is expected.

Various Notes.

Pilcher & Burrows sold a carload of
pots for A. H. Hews & Co., Cambridge,
Mass., to the local growers the past
week.

Theo. Klockenkemper is cutting a fine
h>t of smilax. He reports 5,000 strings
ready to cut.

Wm. Winter is cutting a fine lot of
carnations. He has a fine white seed-
ling, which he showed at the club meet-
ing,'.

It has been rumored that Alex Siegle
aud ,(ohn Burke will open a store at the
corner of Newstedt and Olive streets be-
fore Easter.

Henry A. Jones, traveler for Ralph M.
vVard & Co., of New York, is here this
week.

Wm. Schray, who has been reported
very sick, is still confined to his bed,
with very little improvement.

At Ellis' place, in the absence of the
boss, Wm. H, Osseck, assisted by J. Will-
iam Patton, is running things in first-
class style.

Frank Fillmore was at the bowling al-
ley on Monday night. He says he is
still a bowling crank, but not as young
as he used to be.

John Kunz, formerly in the business,
meets many of his friends now as he is

trict.

KANSAS QTY.

The Prospect.

Kansas City is destined to become one
of the great cut flower centers in the
country. Its location makes it the natu-
ral distributing point for all the great
territory lying west and south of us.
The trade in this city is awakening to this
fact, and the remarkable volume of busi-
ness that has been done this season has
demonstrated how far short we are of
having the facilities for producing the
stock to supply the great demand that
the wonderful development of this great
southwestern country is already causing.
The business here has made great strides
the past year and it is safe to predict
that the coming year will see a greater ad-
vance than has ever been before. We
now have two first-class wholesale houses
and a general supply house that com-
pare favorably with any in the
countrj'. Several large ranges of houses
are projected for the coming summer and
many others are figuring on building.
The Wm. L. Rock Flower Co., and E. S.
Brown & Sons have the largest ranges of
houses here and will probably add to
their area of glass this summer. Geo.
M, Kellogg 's place at Pleasant Hill is
one of the largest in the west and is con-
sidered a Kansas City institution, as a
large part of the output is sent to the
wholesale house here. Kansas City has
as good growers as any city in the coun-
try and the majority of them have the
' ' Kansas city spirit, ' ' which overcomes
all diflSculties.

The Market.

The past week 's business was up to the
standard. The weather has been cool
and there has been a steady demand.
Stock is arriving in large quantities but
the supply is still short of the demand.
The quality of the stock is excellent, es-
pecially in carnations. Bulbous stock is
fairly plentiful. Some tulips of extra
good quality are being received. Prices
are advancing. Beauties are still scarce,

not nearly enough to go around. The
Enchantress carnation seems to be the
most in demand, the best grade selling at
retail for $1.50 a dozen.

Various Notes.

The Shaeffer Floral Co.'s retail de-
partment has a fine display of potted
plants this week. Their window decora-
tions are unusually good.

The Wm. L. Rock Flower Co. is cut-
ting a large quantity of high grade car-
nations. This concern makes a specialty
of this flower.

It is rumored that one of our most
popular south side florists will open two
stores soon, one in Westport and another
in the down-town district. Although the
gentleman very modestly denies any such
intentions we have it from a very relia-
ble source.

Miss E. H. Newman, of the Kansas
City, Kansas, Floral Co., reports a fine
business the past season. She is in a
good location and is building up a fine
trade.

From present indications there will be
a splendid lot of lilies for Easter this
year.

We are sorry to have to report the ill-
ness of Miss Hayden.

Alex Henderson, of Chicago, was a
visitor last week. Kay-See.

AMERICAN SEED TRADE ASSOCIATION.

Pres., W. H. Grenell, Saginaw, W. S., Mien.;
First Vice- Pres., L. L. May, St. Paul; Sec'y and
Treas., C. E. Kendel, Cleveland. The 24th annual
meeUnr will be held at Toledo, G., June 26-28, 1906.

Eaely-flowering cosmos seed is in
short supply.

W. H. Barret, Adrian, Mich., has
been at Chicago this week.

Spinach seed is reported short and
the demand for it on the increase.

Several of the large onion set jobbers
report that they are cleaned out of
stock.

American groAvn nasturtium seed of
the dwarf and tall mixed is short. The
foreign supply is also limited.

Chicago — S. F. Leonard accompanied
by Mrs. Leonard is in attendance at the
cauners' convention at Atlantic City.

Reports from the mail order seed
houses are very encouraging. It is
statetl that even in the poultry depart-
ments the force has to work overtime to
keep up.

It is reported that Gradus peas will
hardly go around. The Thos. Laxton is
more plentiful and is growing in favor.
Some of the market gardeners prefer it
to Gradus.

Belated shipments from foreign parts
are badly needed by some of the seed
houses. Considerable complaint at the
slow clearances of goods upon arrival at
the ports of entry is registered.

H. F. Hexry, receiver for the Clucas
& Boddington Co., New York, is rapidly
winding up the affairs of that concern.
There will be an early dividend to credi-
tors, but not one to relieve the failure of
any of its disastrous features.

Twelve million six hundred thousand
is the estimate of the number of Eocky
Ford cantaloupes shipped from the
Rocky Ford district, in Colorado, last
season. Seven hundred cars were sent
out, as against o^^^ car loads the previous
year.

Atlantic City, N. J. — The canners
and packers of America are holding
their annual convention here this week.
The seed trade is well represented, look-
ing after the seed needs of the canners
and the interests of their respective
houses.

It is reported that good stock of the
Country Gentleman sweet corn is not
plentiful. The wet fall was against a
good drying out of the deep-kerneled
varieties and that the Country Gentleman
is the hardest to cure of any of these
is said to be the cause of a considerable
quantity of it being of low germinating
power.

The variety of prices on supposedly
the same type of onion seed in the retail
catalogues is causing the retail buyer to
think that the high-priced man is mak-
ing more money than he should. In real-
ity, however, the buyer usually gets his
money's worth and no more, or less,
whether he takes the high priced stock
or the low. The name is not every-
thing.

A NOTICEABLE feature of the season's
seed advertising is that so many of the
leading catalogue houses have diverted a
considerable part of their expenditure
from the general publications to those
devoted to farm and outdoor interests,
these classes of publications having a
larger amount of seed advertising than
ever before. Eeturns thus far are said
to have in most cases justified the move,
but at least a part of the increased
calls for catalogues may be due to the
weather conditions, which started the sea-
son earlier and heavier than usual.

The story of "Seeds that Grow" is
a 68-page thirtieth anniversary supple-
ment to W. Atlee Burpee & Co. 's cata-
logue for 1906, with descriptions of the
trials at Fordhook, the seed growing
operations, the packing, filling of orders
and shipping, all fully illustrated, even
down to a picture of the adding machine
for finding out how much money is com-
ing in. It is stated that in 1905 there
were 7,161 trials at Fordhook and the
new farm at Sunnybrook, N. J., 4,549

The Seed Grower

Cloth, 12 mo, 191 pp. Price $1.25 postpaid.

A new book by Charles Johnson, author
of The Seedsman's Assistant.

This is a practical treatise on growing
vegetable and flower seeds and bulbs for
market or commercial purposes, describing
operations for each variety In detail, when
to plant, harvesting, drying and cleaning ;
with crop yield per acre, prices paid to
growers, market status, where the best seeds
are now grown, contract forms for growers,
how to originate new varieties, how to take
care of seeds.

The only complete work on seed growing
published In any country.

The chapter on raising, cleaning, storing
and keeping onion sets Is Itself worth the
price of the whole book. The same can be
said of chapters on other varieties, beans,
cabbage, corn, cucumbers, melon, peas, to-
matoes, etc. Every seedsman, every florist,
every gardener, every farmer should have
a copy. Know how the best seeds are
grown. The more you know about seeds
the better.

EUROPEAN SEED NOTES.

The grass and clover seed trade has
opened this yesr in rather an unsatis-
faotorv state. The crops of many
articles, especially red clover, are very
light. France and Italy have very little
for export. White clover is a bad crop,
but prices will probably not rise much,
owing to large supplies of yearling seed
still on hand. Russian supplies appear
to be totnllv missing. Buyers may look
for prices in this particular branch of
the trade to advance considerably as the
season goes on.

The Weekly Florists^ Review^

Fbbbuary 15, 1906.

slightly under the offers of German
houses, and considerably less than Eng-
lish red clover where an extra fine sam-
ple is on offer. The reports from the
London seed market are of an active
demand for all clover and grasses.

There is a report of quite a shortage
in sweet peas, and there will probably
not be sufficient to go the rounds of
orders. Some stocks are already ex-
hausted and orders still continue to
come in to the wholesalers. There ap-
pears to be some prejudice against
American grown seeds on account of an
alleged tendency to come somewhat weak
and straggly in their growth; they do
not appear to have sufficient stamina in
some instances to withstand our climate
and some dealers and growers hold some-
what aloof from buying American seed.
This tendency is also noticeable in the
vegetable varieties. I remember seeing
a large breadth of peas for pulling
green, growing in Lincolnshire, from
seed obtained in Ontario. During one
of our not very prevalent hot, dry sum-
mers they were simply grand in the way
of a heavy crop, long and well podded
straw. They were eventually, owing to
the bad state of the green pea trade,
harvested and thrashed for seed, and a
finer sample was never seen. They did
not require the slightest hand picking
for seed purposes. But the fault of the
crop was they were longer and weaker
in their growths and the color of their
leaf and haulm was much lighter and
weaker than is general with English-
grown stocks of the variety in question.
It is generally found that American seed
is excellent when we have a favorable
summer and autumn, but should we have
a damp, cold and choppy season they
are not so reliable and satisfactory as
English grown stocks, especially the
wrinkled varieties; but in spite of this
fact some of the British seedsmen would
be very short if there were no American
seed to be had, especially the last two
or three years, which have been very
disastrous for home-grown pea crops for
seed purposes, more especially the
•wrinkled varieties. B. J.

NOTES FROM ENGLAND.

The cut flower trade in Covent Garden
market and other large centers is quite
off. Prices, especially for cut tulips and
narcissi, are about as low as they can
be to leave a return for the grower.
The markets generally have been quite
overdone, as was anticipated by many in
the trade during the bulb buying sea-
son last year. The French stock has come
in very heavy quantities, and quite up-
set the home growers. The trade for
asparagus, smilax and other greenery ap-
pears also to have shared in the general
depresison.

On account of the low prices for bul-
bous stock there probably will not be
such a good demand for Dutch bulbs
during the coming season, and the repre-
sentatives from Holland will not have
quite such a profitable trip as last year.
Were it not for the fact that stocks of
many leading articles are already short
in Holland, a decided fall in prices
might reasonably be looked for.

It is satisfactory to notice American
varieties of carnations are receiving
more attention here and are being more
and more grown. Enchantress is at pres-
ent the most popular sort for market
work and always commands big prices,
fine blooms on long stems making just
now, although trade for almost all cut

flowers is oft', anything from 3 shil-
lings to 6 shillings per dozen, and the
supply is not anything like equal to the
demand. It will be a good thing for all
concerned when the lovely American
varieties are extensively grown here, they
are such a decided improvement in every
way, and will really fill up a big defi-
ciency in the market florists' business.

Reverting again to the question of
forcing bulbs. Narcissus Ajax Golden
Spur seems to be holding its own against
all competition. It is a variety which
could be profitably placed on the market
in much larger quantities. It is a fine,
stiff upstanding and lasting bloom in
water and for table and other decora-
tions is always in excellent demand and
there never hardly seems to be too many
even in the dullest times of bad trade.
The last few years the price of the
bulbs has fallen considerably and were
procured last season in best forcing qual-
ity at from 35 shillings to 45 shillings
per thousand. Perhaps as much on ac-
count of its poor constitution and un-
adaptability to some bulb growing soils
and districts as from its popularity in
its cut state in the very early months of
the year, it is a bulb that will never be-
come too plentiful. There is much talk
among Dutch growers of the large and
ever increasing demand for this particu-
lar variety met with in America. Golden
Spur is a particularly good forcer and
will come in bloom some ten to twelve
days earlier than Henry Irving under
the same treatment. J. B.

WATER LILIES FROM SEED,

Please give me a little instruction as to
raising water lilies and Victorias from
seed. A. C. S.

If A. C. S. is going into aquatics
to any extent, he should avail himself of
Wm. Tricker's splendid book, "The
Water Garden." Mr. Tricker is an au-
thority on water plants, and will tell you
the whole program.

NEW SWEET PEAS

EVELYN BYATT

A GORGEOUS
NOVELTY

The most srorgeous colored Sweet Pea yet introduced. It may be termed a aelf Oorg^eous,
having a rich orange salmon standard, and falls or wings still a trifle deeper color, giving a
rich, fiery orange or deep sunset color to the whole flower, very striking and unique. It has
caused quite a sensation wherever shown during the past year.

PHYLLIS UNWIN

A GIANT
NOVELTY

I

Color a deep rosy carmine self, the same form as GLADYS UNWIN, with the prettily waved
and bold standard of that variety, but a little larger, producing 3 to 4 flowers on a stem. It
is quite sunproof and perfectly fixed. The stems are long and stout, and it may be described
as A OZAVT IN EVBBT WAY.

Each of above novelties, $14.60 per 100 packets;
$1.76 per dos. (Retail, 86 cents).

GLADYS UNWIN

LAST YEAR'S
NOVELTY

I

This finest oi all Pink Bw«et Peas we introdnced last season. It is a striking

and sterling* Improvement, quite fixed and distinct, and a

erreat aoqnisition for Cut Blooms.

OI>ADTS UVWIIT has a very large and bold flower, not hooded, but with a very striking
upright crinkled or wavy standard, and broad wings. Color, a pale rosy pink. A strik-
ing feature is that about 75 per cent of the long flower stems are with tour blooms, which
Is a most unusual thing in Sweet Peas. It was first raised four years ago, viz., in 1901, and
has kept perfectly true and fixed in character each year since and we have no hesitation
in saying it is a bona-flde departure in pinks. For market growers especially it cannot be
surpassed, and is just the lovely pink color which is so much in demand. $4.60 per pound.

Various Notes.

Business the past week was rather
quiet owing to the very severe cold spell
we had and the thermometer down to
zero mark kept the boys going. Some
very fine carnations are to be seen in
the windows.

Jacob Schulz has a house of cyclamen
that are beauties and worth while to go
and see. His carnations are also in fine
shape.

Nanz & Neuner have a bench of En-
chantress carnations that, for size and
lengte of stem are hard to beat; also
their Lady Bountiful is fine. The fore-
man, Geo. Renisen, is proud of his suc-
cess with these two carnations.

Henry Fuchs' rose houses will be in
fine shape and will yield him quite a
number of rose buds. Henry knows
when to come in.

Chas. Bayner, out at Anchorage, Ky.,
is cutting some of the finest Maids and
Brides and Golden Gate that come in
this market.

J. V. Bohrman's place is in applepie
order; his spring stock is showing up
in fine shape. A middle bed of Kaiser-
ins which were kept dormant is making
a fine break and some very fine buds will
be had.

Frank Lichtefeld, father of Henry
Lichtefeld, is still in very poor health.
He is going on his eighty-fifth year.

Leo Zoeller, out on Burnet avenue, is
cutting some of the finest Joost ever seen
here.

The Kentucky Society of Florists held
its meeting at the residence of Jos. Wet-
terle. Lots of business was transacted.
After the meeting the members were in-

When should deutzias be started for

require at various dates?

P. 0.

Start deutzias six weeks before Esister.
Start in a temperature of 50 degrees and
increase 5 degrees by flowering time.
Weather and amount of sunshine has
much to do with bringing these hardy
shrubs into flower, but growing them six
weeks in the forcing time you will be

A -FEW QUESTIONS.

I have a few questions I would like
you to give me light on:

1. How to propagate begonias to mul-
tiply them rapidly, Thurstonii and Ar-
genteo-guttata.

2. May carnations be planted twice
in succession in the same soil in the
greenhouse with good results?

3. Are gladioli bulblets of any ac-
count? How and when should they be
planted? Pan-American strain.

4. Should cinerarias be pinched back
to make more flowers, and how long be-
fore Easter for bloom then?

5. Should the small flowering begonia
seedlings be cut back? Main shoot now
flowering.

6. What is the botanical name of the
trailing plant usually called Jacob's
ladder, green and variegated-leaved.

7. Has Happy Thought geranium
gone out of date, and what color is true
flower! B. S.

I will attempt to give an answer to

these many questions by number, as they
are presented.

1. The begonias belong to what is
known as the shrubby section. They will
propagate from the terminal growths,
now or later, or if you have cut off the
strong shoots, the plants make a lateral
growth affording the best of cuttings and
they will root readily as late as May and
June without bottom heat.

2. Many of the early carnation grow-
ers grew good carnations for two and
even three years without change of soil.
This was largely practiced in the so-
called carnation belt, in Chester county,
Pa., but these flowers would not rank as
first-class today. With very strong-
growing varieties some use one-half old
soil and with good results, but the up-to-
date, first-class growers renew the entire
soil every season and it is the safest plan
for you to follow.

3. The bulblets of gladioli are the
means of multiplying all good varieties.
Plant and treat the bulblets the same
as you would your flowering bulbs, only
with more care and use finer prepared
soil than you would the stronger bulbs.

4. It is not usual to pinch the ciner-
arias. Tuey make broad, handsome
plants without it, yet we have pinched
them. If grown cool and with the best
of light they do not need pinching and
it it is done at all it should be when the
plants are small.

5. As you do not say what variety
or type of begonia you refer to, I must
leave the solution of this to a lady clair-
voyant.

6. Polemonium c«ruleum.

7. You see very little of that pretty
geranium nowadays, but it is not ex-
tinct by any means and you will often
find it in private greenhouses. It was
an excellent bedding variety, having a
variegation entirely its own. The color
of blossom is magenta or magenta rose.
Here endeth the seventh lesson. W. S.

Seattle, Wash. — A meeting of the
trustees of the King County Horticul-
tural Society was held February 7 at the
office of George B. Kittinger. The mem-
bers of the committee voted to hold a
mass meeting on March 14 at the Cham-
ber of Commerce, to represent the var-
ious improvement clubs, churches and
civic organizations of the city. Aid will
then be asked for the big flower, fruit
and vegetable show, which will be given
.June 13, 14 and 15. The programme
of exhibits was prepared and adopted
unanimously by the committee. This
will be submitted at the next regular
meeting of the Horticultural Society. It
is proposed to rent a large auditorium
for the flower show, and if this is not
available to give the big show in a large
tent.

DECORATIVE HARDY STOCK.

We have in California many native
groAvths which are becoming more popu-
lar year by year with the general pub-
lic and with many of our florists they
now represent quite a portion of their
monthly sales. It takes quite a time to
get the public interested in any thing
out of the ordinary, but when once a de-
mand is created the dealers have to
keep many articles on hand that used to
be classed as rubbish. It is only within
.1 few years that huckleberry and Ore-
gon grape were introduced to the people
of San Francisco and vicinity and now
they are both indispensable.

I find the California manzanita ia
rapidly coming to the front as a decora-
tive article and justly so, for it is one
of our most beautiful shrubs. It is
known botanically as Arctostaphylos
tomentosa and grows abundantly here.
The plants grow from five to twenty feet
in height, with pale green leaves and
purple-brown bark and the flowers, which
are borne in great profusion, are of a
deUcate pinkish white color and very
waxy. It is well known here and closely
resembles the Madrono. Arbutus Men-

ziesi, the branches of which are in great
demand the last few years for holiday
decorating on account of the profusion
of bright red berries. At this season of
the year it is quite as pretty for its
great panicles of small white, bell shaped
flowers and polished green leaves.

The California wild currant, Bibes
glutinosum, has also found great favor
as a decorative green. It grows in shrubs
six to ten feet high and is particularly
abundant in our southern country. In
the early winter, in the south and some-
what later in the north, the wild cur-
rant becomes a thing of beauty hardly
to have been expected. The young foli-
age of a clear, brilliant green is gaily
decked with the long clusters of pecu-
liarly fresh pink blossoms, making a
very pleasing contrast. The cut branches
keen well in water and have a char-
acteristic heavy fragrance.

Acacia moUissima, although not a na-
tive of this state, is used more than ever
this season by the florists. Its time of
flowering is but a few weeks, but quanti-
ties of the branches and blossoms are
used at this time.

The holly leaved cherry, Prunus ilici-
folia, is a very ornamental shrub grow-
ing from eight to twenty feet in height.
It has shining prickly evergreen leaves
and is coming more and more into favor,
especially for the making of wreaths at
holiday time and for decorating when
long graceful branches are needed.

The California buckeye, Aesculus Cali-
fornica, is closely allied to the horse-
chestnut and the branches and blossoms
are among our most beautiful native pro-
ductions. They are rather delicate to
handle to advantage, but very effective
when used.

The Berberis repens, Oregon grape, is
now so well known as to need no descrip-
tion. Within the past few years it has
taken front rank as a decorative plant
and there is danger of it becoming very
scarce from the constant recutting of it
in our wooded country. We have several
other varieties of the barberry in Cali-
fornia, but the most beautiful one is the
well known sort I speak of.

The yellow lupine, Lupinus arboreus,
although a very common shrub here, is
quite extensively used in decorating and
furnishes a color that is hard to dupli-
cate in more expensive flowers.

I have spoken only of our hardy
shrubs that are used by the florists in the
line of decorating, and these only within
the past few years. We have an almost
endless array of wild flowers, some of
which have already begun to make their
presence felt and will go a long way
toward making the florists' windows
bright for the next few weeks. G.

VICTORIA. B. C.

Spring has come. At least, so say the
birds and flowers. Snowdrops January
1, daflPodils (Henry Irving) January 25;
Iris reticulata January 20; our wild
Sisyrinchium grandiflorum January 31.
These dates probably chronicle a record
in this part of the world. From Jan-
uary 22 to February 3 we had such warm
weather that it was possible with banked
fires to keep air on carnations and roses
all night. Since then we have had a
light frost at night, but the days so
bright and warm that summer ventilation
was needed, and we could water and
spray to our heart's content.

A. J. Woodward had a fire in nis
boiler house some six weeks ago, but
very little damage was done. He has a
fire hose on the place and soon got the
blaze under control.

Mrs. Farrington has also had trouble.
The bottom of her boiler dropped out ajid
it took sixty hours to make repairs.
Luckily, no damage was done.

A. J. Woodward has bought the lease
and stock of the Vancouver Floral Co.
Bob Withers is still retained as manager.
Mr. Woodward also has opened a store
in the Arcade in addition to the one on
Granville street.

Mrs. M. A. Flewin has a fine bed of
freesias. They are two feet high and
strong in proportion. They cany three
and four spikes to the bulb.

POULTRY MANURE.

Will some experienced grower please
answer the following questions? If
wanted for carnations, geraniums and
chrysanthemums, how can the following
be used: Manure from the poultry
house mixed with ordinary soil; that is,
no fertilizer in it, where trash had ac-
cumulated and rotted, the proportions
being one to two; that is, one bushel of
manure and two bushels of soil, thor-
oughly mixed and covered so it cannot
get wet. Is this ready for immediate use
or must it stand; if so, how long! If it
needs more soil, give the amount of this
to be used to a bushel of soil.

How much manure from the pigeon
house can be used for chrysanthemums
to be grown in the garden, size of bed
12x50 feet? Now please do not say this
had better be used only by experienced
hands; I should like to gain from the
experience of others, without having to
experiment too far by myself. As I have
this I should like to use it. L. A.

Chicken manure, being very much
stronger than ordinary barn-yard manure,
should be handled with great caution
when applied to greenhouse crops, and

as this manure has in all probability been
further strengthened by allowing it to
absorb the wash, even greater caution
is needed in applying it. I should, for
safety, advise that this compost be fur-
ther diluted by mixing with at least six
times its bulk of good fresh loam. This
should be turned over a few tim-js at in-
tervals of ten days, choosing bright,
sunny weather for the operation, to get
it thoroughly incorporated and to take
the sourness out of it.

Pigeon manure, being also of a strong
nature, should be used sparingly, even
in garden culture. For clirysanthemums
one bushel to every 100 square feet of
surface is sufficient. This should be
]ilowed in rather deep ; say seven inches.

Dallas, Texas, June, 1906.

C. A. BUTTERFIELD, of Farmingtoii and
Lees Summit, Mo., is contemplating es-
tablishing another nursery, probably at
Dallas, Tex.

Max C. Meyer, of the Phoenix
Nursery Co., Delavan, Wis., an-1 Mrs.
Stella A. Ellis, of Barker, N. Y., were
married January 31.

E. W. KiRKPATRiCK, of McKinney,
Tex., was elected president of the Na-
tional Nut Growers' Association at the
recent convention.

Conrad Appel reports a very limited
crop of German forest tree seeds. The
varieties of pinus, except strobus, will
meet all requirements.

To the list of shrubs which have been
produced so largely that prices are bor-
dering on demoralization, including only
the commoner sorts, must be added in
nearly every instance the California
privet, which, though planted in enor-
mous numbers is still pressing for a
market.

The big western nurseries, many of
which have handled nothing but fruit
trees and which are famous for such
specialties as apple and plum seedlings,
are taking note of the rapidly increas-
ing demand for forest and ornamental
stock and are preparing to offer seed-
lings and cuttings in quantities.

The nurserymen of Pennsylvania had
a delegation at the statehouse at Harris-
burg February 6 to discuss the regula-
tions covering the re-inspection of all
nurseries in the state. The conference
resulted in a better understanding be-
tween Inspector Engle and the members
of the State Nurserymen's Association.

The National Association of Nursery-
men is preparing a circular setting forth
the gain in the recent concessions as to
freight classification and urging the
good work done in this particular as a
reason why every nurseryman should sup-
port the association by maintaining a
membership and attending the conven-
tions.

At Des Moines, la., W. M. Memenga
and others are endeavoring to evade the
payment of notes given to B. F. Bone-
well & Co., nursery agents. The notes
were signed in the form of contract
orders for the planting of orchards, with
the clause pledging the payment of sixty
per cent of the price in case or the non-
acceptance of the stock.

Any nurseryman, especially if he deals
in evergreen and deciduous ornamental
stock, can spend a pleasant and profit-
able half hour with the 1906 catalogue
of the Wm. H. Moon Co., Morrisville,
Pa. It was a good book in 1905, but
is a much better one this year, entirely
reset, longer pages, new running head,
new halftones and many more of them,
mostly from special photographs. For
its size, eighty pages, it appears to be
the most costly nursery catalogue of the
year, and to one selling good stock to a
good class of people it looks to be worth
the money.

Reports are now coming to hand of
damage done to fruit buds by frost
after the mild weather of January.

The plant of apple grafts at E. S.
Welch's Mount Arbor Nurseries, Shenan-
doah, la., last spring amounted to over a
million and about the same num'ber of
store fruit stocks were set out. They are
going quite extensively into roses, ever-
greens and deciduous ornamentals.

JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION.

Warren H. Manning, of Boston, was
some time ago commissioned to prepare
the landscape plan for the Jamestown
exposition, which is to open at Norfolk,
Va., in April, 1907, to commemorate the
event of the first permanent English set-
tlement in America in 1607. Mr. Man-
ning has recently been appointed chief
of the Department of Education and So-
cial Economy, and sends out a circular
to horticulturists and dealers in horticul-
tural supplies, of which the following is
a part:

* ' Eecognizing the importance of the
horticultural interest, a place is offered
for growing exhibits in the three plant-
ing spaces between the two roads and
the two walks of the great main avenue
of the exposition. These planting spaces
are divided into units of 1,000 square feet

each, which may be subdivided. Ground
is thoroughly prepared and well fertil-
ized. The Exposition Company will ar-
range with a competent gardener to be
responsible for the care of the plants
during the exposition period. A charge
will be made for exhibition space prob-
ably not less than 5 cents or more than
10 cents per square foot.

' ' Early decisions are necessary, espec-
ially when hardy plants are concerned, as
a year's growth before the opening of
the exposition is essential to make a
creditable display and such planting
ought to be in place before April 1.

' * Applications for growing exhibits
should be filled out and returned imme-
diately, as this space will be assigned
on February 20. You can, of course,
withdraw at any time before the con-
tract approved by both parties is ac-
cepted. ' '

Your paper is good company. — United
States Nursery Co., Rich, Miss.

Taking into consideration the general
information the Review gives and the
usual reliability of the advertisements
it prints, I consider it would be poor
business policy to do without it when it
can be had for the small sum of $1 a
year. — W. G. Negle, Beaumont, Tex.

LILIES FOR FALL CUTTING.

We want to grow some Lilium
speciosum for next fall and until spring
cutting. Would it be best to grow cold
storage stock for fall bloomig and
use the imported for later use? Also
give us method of growing them. Can
the candidum or Annunciation lily be
grown the same way? J. H. J.

Lilium speciosum, if wanted for
blooming in August or September out-
doors, should be planted as soon as the
ground is open in the spring. Cover the
bulbs eight inches deep. If needed for
winter and early spring flowering it
would be necessary to secure bulbs from
cold storage and pot during the summer
or early fall. This lily is now obtain-
able in the Covent Garden market, Lon-
don, England, the year round as is L.
aura turn. It must be remembered that
L. speciosum cannot be forced in the
same way, however, as L. Harrisii. It
prefers cooler treatment, which also suits
L. candidum. L. candidum for spring
flowering requires to be potted about
the end of August, as soon as the bulbs
are matured and ere they start to pro-
duce leaves, which it does very quickly
after potting. After potting keep out-
doors until well frozen; then place in a
cold frame or pot.

Our plants for Easter blooming have
been housed about three weeks and are
just commencing to push their spikes. A
night temperature of 50 degrees is high
enough to start this beautiful lily in;
never let it exceed 55 degrees. For later
flowering, say for Memorial day, plants
should be kept frozen in a cold frame
until March 1. Do not be afraid to
freeze them well; half the success in
their culture depends on it.

W. N. Craig.

IN FREEZING WEATHER.

Although it is advisable under ordi-
nary circumstances to discontinue cement
work in freezing weather, Portland
cement may be used without serious diffi-
culty by taking a few simple precau-
tions. As little water as possible should
be used in mixing, to hasten the setting
of the cement. To prevent freezing,
hot water is frequently used in mixing
mortar or concrete, and with the same
object in view salt is added in amounts
depending upon the degree of cold. A
common practice is to add one pound
of salt to eighteen gallons of water,
with the addition of one ounce of salt
for each degree below 32 degrees.
Either of the above methods will give
good results, but it should be remem-
bered that the addition of salt often pro-
duces efflorescence. It seems to be a
fairly well-established fact that con-
crete deposited in freezing weather will
ultimately develop full strength, show-
ing no injury due to the low tempera-
ture.

MOLES OR MICE.

In the Eeview for February 1 G. S.
asks what to do for moles in a carnation
bed. We think it is the woods mouse
that is the matter. Quaker drab, white
waistcoat, can climb a greased pole too
spry for the cat. We used a wooden
mouse trap, baited with doughnut and
sweet apple, placed on an inverted saucer.
We have caught three and they cost us
$10 in good carnations, L. S.

To Exterminate Rats.

L. A. G. and others will find the fol-
lowing a quick method: Stand a barrel
in the walk of your house, with enough
water in it to let a brick placed on its
end project an inch or so ; then cover
the barrel with stiff smooth paper and
fasten with a hoop. On the paper place
meat, grain, etc., for a few nights in
succession until they are accustomed to
feasting there. Then cut two slits in
the paper crossing each other in the mid-
dle, with the result that the first rat will
take a plunge, and by screaming will
call all others within earshot to the
scene of danger, and into the pit.

More About Moles.

A face(tious) reader writes that he
notes in the last Review there is much
interest in the subject of moles and that
the methods of becoming rid of them are
no two alike. He says that some florists
who are troubled with moles may be
interested in the following paragraph
clipped from the "beauty column" of
a daily paper: "While the electric
nee<]le is the only sure cure, and that is
dangerous except in the hands of an ex-
pert, some moles will disappear if
touched nightly with acetic acid on a
camel's hair brush. If this treatment
is going to suffice, a week's application
will show a result."

I LIKE the Eeview very much and
probably shall take it as long as I am
in the business, for I should miss its
weekly visits were I to try to get along
without it, — Samuel Wheeler, Berlin,
Mass.

SCALE ON PALMS.

I am sending phoenix leaves that have
some dark flat scale on them. I have
tried lemon oil and fir tree oil but do not
seem to get rid of them as yet. They are
on palms, pandanus, allamandas, rubbers,
etc. Will you kindly advise me the
cause of these pests and the best way
to get rid of them! B. K. T.

The scale in question is unfortunately
a very common one on palms, pandanus
and various other plants, and is also
one that spreads very rapidly. On the
palms the safest method would be to
sponge them with a solution of whale oil
soap and tobacco extract, and the same
would apply to the rubbers. Other plants
that are more troublesome to sponge may
be given a dipping in a similar solution
and then laid on their sides to drain.
Lemon oil and fir tree oil are both rea-
sonably effective against this scale, but
both these preparations should be used
carefully, else they may injure tender
foliage. One dipping will probably not
be enough to kill the, adult scale or if it
does, the foliage would be likely to suf-
fer from so strong an insecticide.

The Weekly Florists^ Review.

Februahy 15, 1906.

We beg to announce to our customers and friends that commencing the J 5th
of February, 1 906, we shall conduct our business under the name of

The Yokohama Nursery Co. Ltd.

whom we represented heretofore, with branches in Yokohama and London.

The business will be conducted in the same way as before, and no change in the present management will take place.

SUZUKI & IIDA, 31 BARCLAY ST., NEW YORK CITY.

MOLINE, ILL.

A meeting of the Tri-City Florists'
Association was held in Moline February
9. Several matters of importance were
taken up ;^d a committee of five was
appointed to draft a petition to be sent
to the Iowa and Illinois delegations in
congress asking them to lend their aid
to the passage of the parcels post law
which is now pending. The committee
which will have charge of this matter is
as follows: Adolph Arp, chairman, and
Henry Pauli, of Davenport; Henry
Gager and Henry Meyers, of Eock
Island, and "William Knees and Julius
Staack, of Moline. In taking up the
matter the members drew attention to
the benefits that would arise by the
passage of this bill, in allowing them to
send a good many packages to surround-
ing towns where now they have to either
patronize the express companies or lose
the business.

A discussion as to what seeds should
be planted at tu^s time of the year and
what plants should be grown for Easter,
was entered into by all the members.

POINSETTIAS.

We bought a quantity of cut poinset-
tias last Christmas which did not sell, so
we cut up the stems to single-eye cuttings
and placed in sand. Nearly all of them
rooted and are now potted up with green
shoots about two inches long. How shall
we treat them now, as this is the season
when poinsettias should be resting? If
we start to dry these young plants off,
will they not die? Shall be pleased to
know how to treat them. A. J. N.

Don't by any means attempt to dry
off these little plants. Starting them so
early, they will most likely make taller
plants than are desirable, but if you keep
them growing, you can later make cut-
tings of the young growths and from
where you take off the cuttings, you will
get other breaks for propagating. "We
have found from many years' experience
with these plants that for a single plant
in a .5-ineh or 6-inch pot, or for planting
on a bench for cutting, that cuttings
struck in July is early enough and for
pans September is as early as is desired.
W. S.

DATE OF EASTER.

Easter of 1906 falls on April 15,
eight days earlier than in 1905.

The Eeview is away above the aver-
age of florists' papers and I would not

PACKING PLANTS.

The proper packing of plants and cut-
tings shipped chiefly to long distances
seems not to be well studied by many
growers. The express charges are high,
even with the so-called special rates, and
neither the shipper nor the receiver wants
to work for the benefit of the express
company. Generally the packages are
too heavy; too much wet sphagnum, ex-
celsior, or paper of different kinds and
color. To illustrate, I will tell you what
happened to me these last few weeks.
From one of the leading houses I received
a box of cinerarias. When packed, the
plants were surely in the best condition
of growth. Every one was surrounded by
wet sphagnum and entirely wrapped in
a piece of paper, lying flat, one on top
of the other, like sardines in a box;
half of them rotted enroute. During the
next week I received two boxes from
Wisconsin. The ball of soil of the plants
only, not the leaves, was wrapped in
paper. The plants were packed in layers
with the bottoms of the pots against the
sides of the box, the foliage towards the
middle, each layer being well secured by
a small cleat of wood. The plants were
perfect, not one single bruised leaf, no
excelsior, no sphagnum, no extra nails
except what were necessary to secure the
box well. M. M. L.

PLANTS SEE AND FEEL.

Plants can see, feel and taste, accord-
ing to Dr. Henry S. Conrad of the bo-
tanical department of Johns Hopkins Uni-
versity, but he has never been able to find
any evidence that they can hear. Dr.
Conrad made this statement while dis-
cussing the theory of Dr. Haberlandt of
the University of Gantz, that in the
leaves of plants and trees are organs
that resemble the eyes of animals. Al-
though he is not prepared to accept this
theory without reservation, Dr. Conrad
says: "We have never been able to dis-
cover any way in which plants are
susceptible to sound, but in seeing, feel-
ing and tasting they are developed. With
a single exception they can recognize
light and the direction from which it
comes; they feel the slightest wound,
they discriminate in taste, they have a
sense of direction — whether they are
turned in the right direction or not — and
are influenced by electric currents pass-
ing near them. ' '

ROSE G. GRUNERWALD.

All lovers of the rose for garden pur-
poses should get Peter Lambert's new
hybrid tea, Gustav Grunerwakl. It is
perfectly charming and one of the best
of the year. Color bright carmine-pink,
with yellow shading, quite distinct. One
would not class it as an exhibition rose,
for it lacks substance; nevertheless, we
staged a few blooms of it in the exhibi-
tion stands this year. Its value lies in
its perpetual, free-flowering habit. It is
very active, throwing up a constant suc-
cession of flowers branching oflP on long-
jointed wood from the main shoot, coming
into flower with the early roses and con-
tinuing to bloom late in the autumn. At
the time of writing these notes, Novem-
ber 12, we can still cut blooms of it. To
grow it for exhibition would necessitate
severe disbudding, whereby the cliief
characteristic of this rose would be lost.
If classed, as it should be, as a decora-
tive rose, we shall soon see it staged in
attractive bunches.— Gardeners ' Maga-
zine.

CALLA AETHEOPICA.

F. E. Myatt, Ilcxtable, Swanley Junc-
tion, makes a specialty of callas for
wholesaling at Covent Garden, London,
and has immense quantities now^ well
advanced, house after house being filled
with them. The houses are 225 feet long
and most of them thirty feet wide. I
have seen them well done in various
nurseries, but never in such large quan-
tities, or flowering so well. Mr. Myatt
told me that the most he had cut in one
week was 500 dozen, or rather just
under that number, and he may exceed
that number this season, as he has in-
creased his stock. The ordinary sort
has been most extensively grown, but
Mr. Myatt is now working up a large
stock of Godfrey's variety, which, if not
quite so large, is more prolific and a
beautiful clear white. — Horticultural

NORTHERN TEXAS.

With clear skies and thermometer regis-
tering between 65 degrees and 70 degrees,
the neatest trial of the florists here is to
keep stock cool enough. Everything is
groSdng so fast that it is almost xm-
possibll to say what amount of material
they will be able to hold until Easter.
Winter in this section ends practicaUy
the last of February, and the last ot
March planting begins. There is unusual
activity among citizens who wish to beau-
tify their homes and the demand for
hardy stock is increasing at a very sat-
isfactory rate. v»+*«^

Carnations are looking much better
than earlier in the season. Bulbous
stock is very hard to keep. Harnsu at
most places are showing bud and the
question with the grower is whether there
will be any at all at Easter. Boman hya-
cinths are about all in, the warm weather
making it impossible to hold them. Tulips
and Von Sions are coming along all
right and Dutch hyacinths are doing well.
Violets are immense, but there is very
little call for them.

Trade the past month has about
equaled the corresponding month of
last year, and everything points to a
brisk period coming.

Social affairs are at a standstill, but
the death of some prominent people has
taken all the available stock in sight.

Mr. Munson, of Denison, had some
large funeral orders last week and re-
ports business as first-class.

Mr. Farley, of Denison, reports busi-
ness as brisk and he is growing some
good stock. ,

C. P. W. Nims, representing A. i±.
Hews, of Cambridge, Mass., is finishing
his first tour in this section and reports
business as very much better than he
expected; he has booked some large or-
ders in Dallas and surrounding towns.

Mr. Green, son of Mrs. Hetty Green,
is making arrangements to build some ex-
tensive houses in Dallas. We understand
that the contract has been let for the
greenhouses, which will be iron frame
and thoroughly modem. The plant wiU
be run as a commercial enterprise and
cut flowers and plants will be grown.

ThcWcckly Florists^ Review*

Febuuary 15, 1006.

DENVER.

State of Trade.

(joiiditions have been variable for the
paft fortnight, some days a strong de-
mand, others lagging. However, the past
week has averaged fair and dealers are
generally satisfied, although they say they
could have done more business. There
has been a dearth of large jobs, but there
have been numerous small dinners and re-
ceptions which counted up fairly well.

There is a call for Brides anvl Maids
but not beyond the possibility of the
supply. Long Beauties have been under
the demand, while the shorter stemmed
grades are not taken as freely as might
be expected. Carnations are quite plen-
tiful, the demand hardly running up to
the supply, red perhaps being the scarc-
est, but there has been enough white and
pink to leave a few in the ice boxes
nearly every night. At the same time
prices are reasonably well maintained,
and the quality was never better. Enchan-
tress and Lawson being especially fine.

Violets have been selling well and are
in good supply. Many of the dealers an-
ticipate a good call for them on Valen-
tino's day. Bulbous stock is now show-
ing up strong. There are plenty of daf-
fodils, which move well. Eomans, Paper
Whites, valley and sweet peas are in lim-
ited supply and good stock finds ready
sale. Tulips are now in good shape, but
do not bring better prices than when
quality was lower.

Various Notes.

A. H. Bush, of the Daniels & Fisher
Stores Co., who has been on the sick list,
is again on deck.

J. A. Valentine has returned from his
eastern trip.

J. G. Esler, secretary of the Florists'
Hail Association, was in town last week.

E. S. K.

WIOilTA, KAN.

There will be no more Sunday funerals
in Wichita except in cases of absolute
necessity. This was decided by the board
of managers of tne Highland and the
Maple Grove cemeteries, upon the re-
ceipt of a petition signed by the minis-
ters, undertakers, florists and livery men
asking that the two cemetery companies
close their gates to Sunday funerals. The
florists all approved the change and F.
Keuchenmeister, C. A. Eose, W. H. Gulp
and Chas. Mueller signed the petition to
the cemetery oiBcials.

Here is a dollar for another year's

There are many planing mills which turn out
good woffc — in their Kne — but as a rule they
know nothing of greenhouse construction. ^ J*
We make it a special study — in fact we have
manufactured nothing but greenhouse material
for years and feel that we know something about
it. Many of the large growers claim that we
know all about it. j* j* ej* ^ j* j* j»

PEOPLE who know a good thing when thev see it, and will take advantage
of the same, must be possessed with gooa judgment and are generally suc-
cessful. One of our successful growers has this year taken out 6ooo feet of
wooden gutters, which were only 5 years old, and replaced the same with 6000 feet of
the GARLAND IRON GUTTER, this being his fifth annual order.

Our long list of orders of this kind is our best reference. By writing any of
the large growers at Chicago you will confer a favor on the

WHAT DO YOU KNOW

ABOUT CYPRESS AND CYPRESS QUALITY ?

Can you tell whether a piece is sap free by the look of it ? Do you suppose that
after two years' air drying the sap is going; to show on the surface ? Well, it don't and
a plank good and sappy is detected only by an expert. That expert costs us good
money. No dealer ^'grades'' the qualities up for us I Straight from our mills in the
South to our wharfs, then WE do the selecting. We say a lot about this cypress mat-
ter and there's a lot to say about it I What we want to anchor at both ends in your
mind is the word EXPERT and the word QUALITY.

Then there's another thin?; you can't put a pint
In a quart jug- and expect to take out a quart. If
you want a quart, go to the quart people. Same
way witli a house— on what you put into It in
building will depend what you get out of It in
growing.

THE WHITE HOUSE WEDDING.

The event of the past week, not only
socially and officially, but also floricul-
turally, was the wedding of Alice Koose-
velt. The public prints have been filled
with column after column of description
and so great was the public interest
that the press was provided with a type-
written description of the floral decora-
tions in minute detail. The work was
under the direction of George H. Brown,
the government landscape gardener,
and no florist had a hand in it other
than supplying a portion of the cut
flowers. The work was nevertheless of
some interest to the trade, for it was
as elaborate as was possible in view of
the large number of guests and the lim-
ited space at disposal.

In the east room a platform or dais
was constructed in front of the great
east windows. This was covered with
ah oriental rug in which red predomin-
ated. The background was a group of
palms fringed at tht) base with AstUbe
Japonica and Dracaena Sanderii. At
each side there were two tall vases of
Easter lilies. Above the platform was
a light garlanding of snulax and as-
paragus, with Bride roses and pink car-
nations scattered through the green. On
the mantels were vases of Harrisii and
on the tables at the ends of the room
were profusely flowered rhododendrons
iA jardinieres. This was all the floral
decoration in the room in which, the
ceremony was performed.

The adjoining green room had no
other decoration than vases on the man-
tels, of Enchantress carnations with
ferns.

The vases in the blue room were filled
with Easter lilies and asparagus, the
two tall vases, one on each side of the
mantels, having a quantity of stock in
proportion to their size. In the window
recesses were palms and flowering
plants.

In the red room the vases held red
flowers, roses, carnations, etc., with as-
paragus.

A buffet wedding breakfast was laid
in the state dining room. The vases on
the mantel were filled with Bride roses,
the table decorated with vases of Beau-
ties and Brides. About the room were
a few flowering plants but nowhere in
the White House was there a use of
plants which would, in any way, en-
etoach upon the limited floor spao«. In
the private dining room there were the
same vases of roses and in the main
corridor and along the stairway . from
the lower corridor the niches were filled
with rhododendrons, palms and ferns in
jardinieres. There were .also vases of
flowers on the mantels in all the other
apartments which were open to the
guests.

; The principal advantage to . the trade
which came from the wedding was, in
the number of orders for other social
events which took place at the same
time, but . Blackiptone received the order
for the bridal bouquet, which was pho-

tographed, copyrighted, and is repro-
duced in this issue of the Review. The
flowers were Cattley-i Trianse, Cymbid-
ium eburneum and Coelogyne cristata.
The green used was Adiantum Farley-
ense. The orchids were furnished by
George Field, the well known veteran
grower of Washington.

VALENTINE'S DAY.

Reports to hand show that the St. Val-
entine's day business of 1906 was a dis-
tinct advance over the record for 1905
and any previous year. The call was es-
pecially for violets, most of which were
put up in special violet boxes and tied
with violet ribbons. There was also a very
good demand for American Beauties,
which were in short supply. Red roses
are not equal to the demand and other
flo^vcrs shared in the general business.
The carnation was sold in all markets in
probably greater numbers than any other
flower.

As the general prosperity of the coun-
try advances the florists are upon every
occasion receiving their full share of the
increased business. As cost becomes less
of a consideration the demand for im-

Alice Roosevelt's Bridal Bouquet.

The Weekly Florists^ Review^

Febuuahy 22, 1006.

^ov«d quality increases and all good
^todk becomes readily salable without
<aku(^ question of price. On the other
ihand, the poorer grades become less sala-
'fljle in the better class of stores.

THE STREET FAKIRS.

For the past two or three years there
'ibave been no curbstone flower dealers in
"Chicago, and there has been agitation
to prohibit their activities in other cities.
"USie present opinion of a leading Chi-
cago retailer may therefore be of in-
■terest.

* * I was among those most active in
opposition to the street fakirs, but 1
have seen a great white light. The street
fakirs are now nearly all installed in at-
tractive stores, well located and doing a
good business. They are still handling
low grade stock at cheap prices, but peo-
ple go to them who would never notice
"them in the streets. They hurt the legiti-
mate retailers far more than they did
on the street, and this is laying aside
the fact that the street flower dealers
are a primary school for the education
of flower buyers for the retailers handling
a better class of goods."

Starting the Cannas.
There is one important detail which
•needs attention just now: Start the
-mannas. If they have been in a dry and
oot too warm cellar, they will be all
-fight. Ours have been resting beneath
•A bench, on boards to keep them dor-
mnaat, and j the roots are plump and
-/resh. Time was when we did not know
Any better than to pot pieces, of the
foot and place' the pots on a bench. This
•^as waste of space, waste of material,
And altogether crudt. Spread one inch
■ot sphagnum moss on a bench. If hot-
water or steam pipes are beneath the
C)ench, so much the better. After di-
-priding place the roots on the sphagnum
-jmd cover the roots only lightly with
the same material. Cocoanut fiber is
-^loite as good a medium. Every dor-
•Aiant eye that is sound will soon start
*nd when the leaf growth is up a few
•inches they can be then lifted and pot-
ted in 4-inch or 5-inch pots, or
whatever size you intend to grow and
^«ell them in.

If terribly crowded for bench room,
-which ail thrifty and progressive flo-
>rist8 should be, you can put the roots
<tnto flats in three inches of sand and
«>lace the flats on the pipes beneath the
^nch, where they will g^t busy in a
few days, and soon be ready to put into
pots. I like the daylight bench and the
s«pbagnum moss better.

Many florists in cities are cramped
-for room for their summer stock and
'have to buy cannas in the spring. They
- should not be difficult to procure, and
-you should buy tbt-m under name, so
'that if asked to supply a bed of one
^ variety there will be no mix-up. A
-most satisfactory as.sortment can be ob-
tained from the following varieties and
none very expensive • The Italian sec-
-tion of this showy plant is not generally
very desirable for outdoor culture. The
'flowers are handsonie, resembling some
.of the orchids, but the flowers are not
'persistent and soon lose their beauty.
"What you want for outside show is a
■persistent bloomer and a good spike,

Kinley, Buttercup, Tarrytown, Flor-
ence Vaughan, Mill.3. Berat, David Ha-
rum, Egandale, Mont Blanc (almost
'pure white), Charles Henderson and J.
D. Eisele, are ail g( od.

Keep Doing Business.
It has occurred to me lately that we

often save, or reserve, too many of our
attractive plants for the great harvest
of Easter, while there is a sale all the
time for showy planis. Too many force
a hundred or two of azaleas for Christ-
mas and then attempt to have no njiore
till Easter. If yon observe any plants
, that are precocious in flowering, even
if kept cool, move them into a tempera-
ture of 50 degrees rmd let them flower.
They are sure to be wanted. Lilac and
Azalea mollis, and perhaps rhododen-
drons, will be showing color. They
want no actual forcing now, and will
flower nicely in a temperature of 55 to
60 degrees and will be very acceptable
at this time. Keep as brilliant a show
as you can aU the time. If you don't
seem to get immediate returns, you have
at least made an impression on aU your
visitors, and that . is boimd to tell- on
your eventual prosperity.

In this connection I might mention
that the double tulips, Couronne d'Or,
Murillo and the Tournesol, flower well
at this season. Your single tulips will
not need any more heavy shade and
strong heat. They will send up a good
stem and fine flower without shade and
a La Eeine or Yellow Prince is a poor
thing without a robust stem.

Get Good Seed.

Sow seed just now or petunia. It is
not my place to tell you where to buy
it, but get the very best you can hear
of, and don't be afraid to pay a liber-
al price for a gool strain. I should
lite to enlarge a littie on this seed-sav-
ing business, but I am not going to.
I will merely say tnat one man has half
an acre of petunias or asters and saves
the seed of every flower, good, bad and
worse, while another selects only the
seed from the finest flowers. That is
selection, and the way that all species
have been unproveri except the human
race. Should you not be willing to pay
more for seed that ii the product of the
finest rather than what has been gath-
ered in large quantities and indiscrim-
inately! It is just the same with cy-
clamens, cinerarias, primroses and : all
other florists' flow(;rs.

Lorraine Begonias.

Our little plants of Lorraine begonia
may want some attention about this
time. It is not desirable to encourage
them into active gjrowth but you can

pinch off all flowers, and, if the origin-
al cutting is growing, it can be stopped,
which will only streugthen the root, and
it is from the root that you expect the
vigorous growth to make the plant for
next Christmas, Also carefully stir the
surface of the soil in the little pot. This
will help and encourage the semi-tuber-
ous root to send out growths. Keep
them on a light bench in about 50 de-
grees at night.

Two Invaluable Plants.

Sow Dracaena indivisa and Grevillea
robusta now. Those who do little veran-
da box or vase filling may not need these
plants, but those who do know how in-
valuable they are. The finely divided
foliage of the grevillea is graceful ev-
erywhere and the cast-iron dracaena is
the most useful plant we have for a
cemetery vase. After a cyclone, earth-
quake, or visit from Carrie Nation, it
is always smiling and robust.

The Lilies.

There is nothing that will require
more care or cause more anxiety just
now than the condition of your Easter
lilies. There is the long month of March
to come and two perhaps bright weeks
in April, if the lilies are not showing
any sign of bud at the present time it
will be well to increase the heat 10 de-
grees. As observed in early winter, af-
ter the buds are once visible, is the
time when, in my opinion, the lilies will
endure a strong i'eat without harm.
And remember, when the buds have
turned white you can easily keep them
cool from that on and keep them from
spoiling for several weeks. Don't be
late with them, for it usually means
a big money loss.

Roses for Easter.

Eoses, both the Ramblers and the hy-
brid perpetuals, wiU come along nicely
in a night temperature of 50 degrees,
and are stronger a ad better color than
when forced. It is rather early to be
sure of their date of flowering. They
may need 55 degrees all night next
month, which is not. too warm to pro-
duce good flowers and color. We know
you cannot get a hybrid perpetual with
all its buds developed at one time, but
our customers much prefer two flowers
and some buds to open, to four or five
expanded flowers and no buds to come.

Forcing Valley.

The illustration on page 915 is from
a photograph of the lily of the valley ;
grown in 8-inch azalea pots, on the
pipes under the benches, as described
in the notes in this column February 8.
As you will notice by the 2-foot rule
which was resting on the surface of the
soil, the tallest are fully fifteen inches
long. I am fully aware that this is of
little interest to the valley specialist,
or large grower, yet it may be to many
who desire to have a few on hand at ail
times and have no other convenience
than a few hot-water pipes beneath a
Itench. One advantage in this method is
that you can, when all the bells are de-
veloped, remove the pots from beneath
the bench tp a shaded bench in a tem-
perature of 50 degrees, and they will
go on increasing in size and substance,
and if you don't have occasion to use
them they will last in the pots for at
least two weeks. Remember the roots
are almost entire as they were imported
and they are in ordinary soil from the
potting bench. William Scott.

JASMINUM PEIMULINUM.

Plants of Jasminuni Primulinum shown
at the Royal Horticultural Society, Lon-
don, on January 23, created quite
a sensation, says a writer in the Horti-
CHltural Advertiser. It was about six
years ago that Veitch & Sons introduced
it. Some growers took it up at once,
but it was not until the plants referred
to above were seen that its value was
fully recognized. I have since then had
several inquiries from market growers
respecting the plant, I understand that
it requires rather careful treatment in
ripening the wood to flower it so well
as those shown. These were specimens

about five feet high, with long drooping
branches, covered with clear yellow flow-
ers, which were mu<?h larger than in J.
nudiflorum; just the sort of plant for
decorative purposes, and one whicli
would be sure to be appreciated by
florists who do decorations.

Some years ago we used to have Jas-
minum grandiflorura flore pleno grown
as a pot-plant, and this should be worth
reviving, for it comes in early without
forcing and always flowers freely. The
flowers have a pleasant perfume, re-
minding one of spring. The plants I
have seen have been grafted, (on offici-
nale probably) and have formed com-
pact bushes.

COLD STORAGE VALLEY.

In the Review of January 11 a reader
told of his trpuble in forcing cold stor-
age lily of the valley pips, in part as fol-
lows: "In a lot of 2,000 about one-
fourth have thrown up good flowering
shoots with eight to twelve bells, but
without a particle of foliage. Others are
coming with foliage and flower and are
ready to cut, but about one-half have
made no growth at all. These pips were
flatted up and kept in a house at 60
to 65 degrees for a few days, then put
in the forcing case, with 80 to 90 de-
grees of heat under the flats, or about
75 degrees of heat in the sand in the
flats. We have had success with the fol-
lowing treatment: Four or five days in
the warm house without bottom heat, ten
to twelve days with 75 degrees heat in
the sand and four to five days without
bottom heat to harden off in a house at
55 to 60 degrees."

In his reply W. S. said in part: "It
is difficult to say what the trouble is, but
I will say that there was no need of
your putting these cold storage pips into
any such heat as 80 to 90 degrees. That
is the treatment for the newly imported
roots, which you are forcing into growth
and flower three or four months before
their normal season of flowering. It is
entirely a different story with the cold
storage stock. You have arrested their
natural growth and at any time after the
first of last May, directly they were re-
lieved from the arresting cold, they were
ready and anxious to grow, so 60 to 65
degrees was warm enough for their roots
or pips. You mention flats as being used.
That would be of little consequence, but
I would rather hear of six inches of
sand on an ordinary bench without bot-
tom heat and only protected from
draughts or bright sun,"

This has brought forth a long and
interesting letter from E. Neubert,
Wandsbek, one of the largest valley
growers in Germany, who annually ex-
ports millions of pips to America and
who says that the above notes "greatly
interest me, as I am forcing myself very
large quantities of cold storage valley."
This is what he says:

As the writer, W. S,, already states in
his article, the correspondent made the
chief failure in the culture of his re-

tarded valley pips by overheating the
greenhouse. Retarded valley must be
slowly thawed up after being drawn from
the freezing rooms, in which the average
temperature should not be less than 24.8
degrees.

Small boxes about four inches high,
filled either with light sandy soil or any
other material like sand or sawdust, are
best adapted for planting the roots,
which may be cut off at their ends, up to
the breadth of a hand.

Never apply bottom heat to cold stor-
age valley, but provide for an average
air temperature of 60 degrees to 65 de-
grees and for a constantly damp atmos-
phere in the house. During the first
forcing period keep the retarded crowns
quite dark, which will be of benefit to

distinct colors and also the foliage will
have grown in the meantime in sufficient
proportion to the height of the flower
stalks. Before selling the valleys har-
den them off in a cooler house, at 46 de-
grees to 5<i degrees.

I am forcing retarded valley through-
out the summer and autumn until
Christmas, planting during October and
November daily 20,000 to 30,000 re-
tarded crowns and have for many years
obtained the best results in the way de-
scribed.

The most important matter upon which
depends a good share of the success
with retarded valley is the selection or
condition of the crowns which are used
for storing. In my long years of expe-
rience as a wholesale grower and expor-
ter of lily of the valley crowns I could
often observe that American growers
sometimes make very grave error when
ordering the crowns.

Valley pips with abundant fibrous and
bunchy roots are most adapted and ap-
preciated for Christmas and early forc-
ing. Being grown in a light soil, where
they mature the quickest, they should
not be used for cold storage for reasons
which only the producer of the crowns
is able to explain:

After a wet and cold summer, even
tliese early forcing crowns do not mature
enough and sometimes give unsatisfac-
tory results when forced very early in
the season, though the appearance of
the crowns and the roots was ex-
ceptionally good, and after such years
they will give favorable results even as
cold storage valley. In normal years,
however, and such are prevailing in this
country, the American growers will make
the experience that such abundant rooted
cold storage crowns will develop too
much in foliage at the expense of the
flowers, which to the grand astonishment
of the grower remain short-stalked and
set with small bells. If such retarded
valley are grown in benches with bottom

the development of the flower embryo
and prevent the foliage coming first.

After about ten to twelve days place
the boxes under glass, protected, how-
ever, from bright sunshine. Some days
left here, they will finish the develop-
ment of their flowers, have the natural

heat, the success will undoubtedly be a
disaster.

Just the opposite experiences will be
made with a "late forcing" valley.
These are cultivated in a heavy and gen-
erally loamy soil. Their appearance is
from the first less favorable compared

with a bundle of standard early forcing
crowns, the roots being less fibrous,
thought vigorous in habit, and in fact
the pip itself, supposed it is a first class
late forcing valley, is just so strong as
any other valley.

Coming from a heavy and damp soil,
they do not arrive to maturity so fast,
which makes them unfit for early forc-
ing; they even do not show activity in
growth before late in the season.

Taken from cold storage, being forced
in the above way, they show a most
regular and uniform growth. The stalks

are strong and tall, the bells large and
just so numerous as may be expected
from another first class valley with many
fibrous roots, forced early in the season.
To meet with the often expressed de-
mand for a first-class cold storage valley,
I have introduced a special brand. My
stock of retarded valley for sale in Euro-
pean countries exceeds annually four and
one-half million crowns, among which
you do not find a single crown with such
fibrous and bunchy roots, which in your
country are thought the best valley even
for cold storage purposes.

PROPAGATING.

It is time to begin thinking of prop-
agation once more, and while fairly
good flowers can be had from plants
propagated much later than this, still
February and March are not too early
to propagate many kinds, and more par-
ticiUarly does this apply to the growers
for exhibition. If you want good flow-
ers, you must have an early start, espe-
cially so in the ca-je of dwarf, slow-
growing varieties. It is not at all un-
usual for a new thing to be condenmed
the first year because the buyer has
propagated it late and to the utmost
limit and the plants have not had a
chance to prove themselves. One cannot
strike cuttings in June and get as good
results as if the plants were struck in
February or March, only in the case of
some five or six kinds, like General Hut-
ton or the Batons, which will grow at
the rate of a foot a month when start-
ed. If a plant is started into growth
before the hot weather, it makes a
hardier, stockier, short-jointed g^rowth
and will not bolt up like the soft, sappy
growth of early June.

The operation of making cuttings and
putting them in the sand is so simple
that every boy who works in a green-
nouse knows it and it is unnecessaiy to
go into detail here. I would simply say
trim off enough foliage so that the air
can circulate between the rows and
place the cuttings in the sand deep
enough so that they will not fall over
when watered or sprayed. If you have
a regular propagating house facing
north the cuttings will need little at-
tention at this season of the year, after
being watered in, but if you are prop-
agating in a corner of one of your cut
flower houses provision must be made to
keep sun and drafts away so that the
cuttings wUl not wilt and lose their
vitality.

Select only the best cuttings for use.
Any that have become too long and are
throwing a bud should be discarded and
only the suckers coming right out of the
ground should be used. Shoots that are
produced up the old stems almost in-
variably run to bud after they start to
grow.

If your stock plants have been rest-
ing under a bench somewhere, get them
up to the light at once, even if you have
to throw something else out to do so. A

good start is everything and you cannot
expect yoxir plants to throw healthy cut-
tings if they are hidden away from the
sunlight. A few plants in the end of a
carnation or violet bench will not take
up much room and will well repay for
the care and space.

As soon as the cuttings have roots
half an inch or so in length get them
out right away and pot into soil. Many
cuttings are permanently weakened by
being left in the sand and allowed to
make a weak, attenuated growth and
long, spindly roots. There is no nutri-
ment in sand. It is just a mediimi to
induce rooting and xs soon as the roots
are formed the nourishment they are

CHRISTMAS CHRYSANTHEMUMS.

This season I have grown as bush
plants the variety W. Duckham, and
have found it to be very satisfactory;
its color is of pale mauve, and it is
much appreciated because it is of a deli-
cate shade such as is most suitable for
indoor decorations. Another variety of
beautiful soft coloring is Mme. P. Ea-
daelli. Flowers of Miss Alice Byron can
be arranged to very good effect in vases.
Lady Osborne is also well adapted for
flowering late in the season and lasts for
a long tmie after being cut. The variety
Glorious, crimson or scarlet, is particu-
larly beautiful at this season, and ad-
mirably adapted for associating with
white flowers where a striking contrast
is desired. In its earlier stages this va-
riety lis a weak grower, and more than
ordinary care is needed in affording wa-
ter to the plants. Mrs. Greenfield, rich
yellow and having long stems, rivals the
old variety W. H. Lincoln. It has an
elegant appearance when arranged, but
is not a variety to be recommended
where much packing has to be done, the
petals being so easily bruised. I still
grow the old incurved Harold Wells,
pale primrose, and it is very floriferous.
Mme. Louise Charvet is a variety well
worthy of extended cultivation; the
sprays of flowers are of large size, well
supported on long, stiff staSjs, and the
color is of a beautiful rich rose. Guy
Hamilton is a first-class white variety,
useful alike for cutting and for a pot
plant on account of its dwarf habit and
excellent foliage.— Gardeners ' Chronicle.

REPOTTING YOUNG STOCK.

The season of repotting being now in
full swing, with all its hurry and bustle,
in order to keep up with the rapid prog-
ress of growth, vmen a certain amount
of work must be accomplished within a
limited time, we must not lose sight
of the fact that in order to be success-
ful and produce good, healthy stock, the
work must be efficiently performed.

Bepotting is one of these duties that
reqnire care and skill and to be profit-
able must be done '\^ith speed. There
is, however, a speed limit which it ia
unsafe to exceed, else some of the work
will be certain to be done in a slovenly
manner. To have the work performed

in a thorough, tradesmanlike manner,
with a fair regard to speediness, should
be set as the standard of excellence.

Stock carefully bandied from the
start, being so much more reliable, will
always be worth more in the market
than soft stock propagated from any
kind of wood that can be scraped up
and handled expressly to get it on the
market in quantity, irrespective of qual-
ity. If a reputation for good sto(^ is
desired, careful work and careful elim-
ination of all ailing and weak plants
should be practiced at repotting time.

The soil for repotting should be in
a nice, mellow condition; that is, neith-
er too wet nor too dry. If too wet it
packs too firmly and if too dry it fails
to pack in a satisfactory manner. It
is safest to add no feeding or fertilizing
material at this time, avoiding partic-
idarly bone flour and all nitrates. Soil
left over from last season's planting
should be of about the right quality.

This should be pulverized fine enough
to make it easy to pack around the
bulb.

Some growers still use drainage, even
in half-inch shifts, but where a fairly
porous soil is used there is no necessity
for this. The addition of soil to the
pot is so small that there is ample evap-
oration without it. Where large shifts
are used, such as from 2^4 -inch to 3%-
inch or larger, it is always safest to
use drainage. However, this is a ques-
tion that the student can best deter-
mine for himself by experimenting.

Potting too deeply is frequently the
cause of checking growth and should
be guarded against, the original ball re-
quiring to be placed just deep enough
in the pot so that there will be left
ample room for watering.

Eepotted stock should have the soil
uniformly moistened before being
placed on the bench. This is particu-
larly true of Beauties, the young wood
and foliage of which suffer severely
from any neglect of this nature.

Pressure of other work should be no
excuse for postponing repotting of rose
stock, as any delay, particularly in
bright weather, will cause a check from
which they do not recover for a long
time, if ever. Eibes.

MISS KATE MOULTON.

The accompanying illustration is from
a very excellent photograph of a pot of
John Monson's new pink rose. Miss
Kate Moulton, which is now being exhib-
ited at florists' club meetings by the
Minneapolis Floral Co. The photograph
is one of the best which has reached the
Eeview office in a long time and gives
a better idea of the character of the
flower than any heretofore published.
The rose has been known to the florists
of the Twin Cities for a number of sea-
sons and has made a distinctly favorable
impression. It was shown for the first
time to the general public at the World 's
Pair fiower show at St. Louis in 1904
and at the Chicago show in 1905 it was
one of the most attractive features. Now
the various florists* clubs are haviiig an
opportunity to pass upon it. Mr. Monson
reports that he is receiving many in-
quiries for stock of Miss Kate Moulton
and that many large growers are visiting
his place to see the stock growing. The
variety promises to be very generally
planted for trial next season.

A ROLL OF CARPET.

In the Keview of February 15, W.
D. states that he intends to make a de-
sign next spring, representing a roll of
carpet and asks lor information on con-
structing the frame, etc. In replying to
him, W. S. says he does not understand
what is meant. It seems to me the only
thing lie means is that he wants to make
a bed representing a roll of carpet, that
is, a roll with a piece of carpet extended
as it is shown by salesmen in carpet
stores. W. S. gives quite definite infor-
mation as to making a bed represent-
ing a carpet laid out in a room and his
selection of plants is all that could be
desired.

To make a design representing a roll
of carpet, mark out on the lawn a bed
of size best suited to your requirements;
4^x9 feet is a good size. Put it in
good shape for planting. Get a piece
of common poultry netting four feet
wide and long enough to make a cylin-
der two feet across. This cylinder is

the rolled part and is placed at one end
of the bed. Enas of the proper size
should be cut from the same kind of
netting and wired into place.

Choose your pattern, the simpler the
better, and work it out in the bed, start-
ing at one end and going to within
about three feet of the other end. Have
a basket of wet sphagnum at hand.
Place the cylinder across the end of the
bed and drive a couple of stakes through
the bottom to keep it from rolling. The
seam in the cylinder should be on top
and left unfastened until planting is
nearly finished. Through this opening
line the bottom with moss and up about
three inches on the sides and ends, in-
side.

Fill with soil to the same height,
knock out your plants and put them
through the netting into place. Put an-
other rim of moss around, and more soil
and plants. Here is where you get in
your fine work, as the pattern must be
worked out on the cylinder to match the
flat portion of your bed or carpet. When
about half full, put through the center
of the cylinder what may be called a
core, of sphagnum, about five inches in
diameter but do not run it clear to the
ends. Place three pieces of old 1-inch
pipe so that when the roll is complete,
the bottom of the pipes will be in the
core and the top just hidden by the
plants on top of the roll, which can be
kept moist better by pouring water
down tbe pipes than by watering out-
side alone.

Now, I do not know that I have made
it clear how to make and fill this cylin-

uer, but with this starter I am sure that
any one accustomed to bedding out can
figure out a way.

Properly arranged bedding of flower-
ing plants and natural effects in peren-
nials and shrubbery are desirable.

While the ordinary mortal publicly
delights in ' ' Vogner, " " Batovan ' ' and
Mozart, he has, perhaps privately, a well-
developed regard for Charles K. Harris
and ragtime.

As an example of what can be done
by skillful planting, and as a novelty,
sometlimg that everybody will stop to
look at, and that will be talked about
long after it has disappeared, put in an
occasional carpet bed. When the writer
has made the balance of his million and
does not need advertising, then and then
only, will he cut out entirely, the "rag-
time" bed. C. H. G.

In a recent issue of the Review W.
D. asks for information about planting
a bed to represent a roll of cari>et. W.
S. says he is not quite clear about what
W. D. wants, but he gives a very good
list of the plants suitable for planting
such a bed.

Well, I worked in a place for some
time where a bed was planted on the
lawn in front of the big house to repre-
sent a roll of carpet. 1 would call it a
stair carpet. The lawn sloped from the
house to the street and a bed about
three feet wide and twenty-five to thirty
feet long was cut out in the grass, the
sod being removed entirely. The bed
was dug and made ready for planting
just as any other bed and at the top

we placed a roll of wire the width of
the bed and fastened it there by driv-
ing two stakes into the ground at either
end of the wire. The wire would be
about ten inches or twelve inches high
and of 114 -inch mesh. This was
filled with good soil and we then
proceeded to plant our bed. We used
alternantheras, two or three varieties,
and echeveria, Anyone can choose his
own design. We planted right over the

roll, placing our plants between the
mesh of the wire. When all was plant-
ed it looked like a stair carpet partly
rolled up and certainly was a very nice
bed.

We kept it trimmed during the sum-
mer. In the fall, when the alternan-
theras had good color, it looked fine. I
hope I have made this clear enough for
W. D. to understand.

CARNATION NOTES. -WEST.

Season of Strong Growth.

While you are busy with your propa-
gating and potting and caring for your
young stock you must not neglect your
blooming plants on the benches. As the
season advances the growth will come
stronger and more rapidly. Disbudding
must be looked after carefully and when
you are through propagating, when dis-
budding, take off all the side shoots
down to where you will cut the stem in
gathering the blooms. These side shoots
will come stronger and more frequently
than they did earlinr and if they are
taken off it will help the blooms some.

Watering requires closer attention
now, too. The sun is quite strong on a
bright day and will dry out the soil
wherever it strikes it and the plants be-
ing rather soft, can not stand much of
that without suffering considerably.
Look over the south edges of the beds
carefully on bright mornings and water
wherever the soil is not quite moist. In
fact, the whole beds will enjoy more lib-
eral watering than during the past three
months. Instead of leaning toward the
dry side, step over and lean toward the
moist side from now on, except, of
course, in case of a long cloudy spell
of weather. There ine many reasons for
this. In the first place, the plants are
thoroughly established; then again, the
soil is well filled with working roots and
will dry out quicker, thus eliminating the
danger of souring. The plants are soft
and, on bright days when the ventilators
are open, evaporation is more rapid and
the plants must be able to draw copious-
ly to prevent severe wilting. This wilt-
ing, if it occurs repeatedly, will destroy
the quality of your blooms quickly.

Use Bone Meal.

If the mulch you put on last fall has
disappeared or has been washed toward
the middle of the bed, you should put
on some more loose material along the
edge where the soil is bare to help hold
in the moisture. It is a little early to
mulch the whole beds yet, but a little
extra feeding can be done from now on
with good results. A moderate dose of
bone meal at this time will help them a
good deal and will carry them up to the
mulch you will give in a month or so. In-
stead of sprinkling the bone right on
the soil we prefer to mix it with about
three times its bulk of soil. Turn thia
mixture once or twice each day to pre-
vent heating and use after it has been

mixed two or three days. The main
reason for doing this is because, when
sprinkling the bone on the beds and
when you water it in, the dust will rise
and settle on the blooms and in the axils
of the leaves and not only cause an ill
smell on the blooms, but in decaying is
liable to cause disease, while, if mixed
with soil, the moisture in the soil will
cause this dust to be taken up by the
soil and no trouble is experienced in ap-
plying it to the beds. You merely put
on three or four times as much as you
would of the pure bone, say a good big
handful to each row across a five-foot
bench. Water in well after putting it
on.

At this time of the year you do not
want to be stirring the surface of the
soil much, nor the old mulch either, as
you will find them full of feeding roots
and they don't want to be disturbed.
About this time you will find lots of
young weeds starting up and, as soon
as they are large enough to pull, they
should be pulled. Most weeds are gross
feeders and will rapidly impoverish the
soil. A. F. J. Baur.

CARNATION NOTES.-EAST.

Care of Young Stock.

It would seem unnecessary at first
thought to remind a grower that his
young stock needs careful attention, but
I know from experience how apt we are
to give as little time as possible to the
non-producers. A casual glance over the
bench in the morning, a hurried water-
ing of those needing it, a mental note
that ere long they must be gone through
thoroughly and the matter is dismissed
from the mind for the day.

From the moment a cutting is severed
from the mature plant its future is de-
pendent on the conditions which sur-
round it and it is during the first few
months of its existence as a separate
plant that these conditions may be said
to have the greatest influence in shaping
its course. Under prevailing methods
the carnation spends practically its
whole life under artificial surroundings,
the only time presented for getting
close to nature being a brief sojourn in
the field, even this being denied in the
case of continuous culture under glass.

It is not in any sense my purpose to
criticize present cultural methods, but to
call attention to the fact that there
should be a period during the life of a
plant that partakes of the nature of a
rest, a call from labor to refreshment
as it were. It is clearly out of the ques-

tion to provide this for mature plants,
but it can very easily and without ex-
pense, be furnished the youngsters.

As soon as potted and suf&eiently es-
tablishea to stand full sun, remove to a
house so arranged in the matter of heat
and ventilation that there may be no
sudden fluctuations in temperature;
gradually reduce the temperature so that
when well established the thermometer
will range between 3S degrees to 40 de-
grees at night and 50 degrees during the
day. Growth vrill be slower, which is
the object sought. It is not so much
size that is wanted in the early life of a
carnation plant as it is that sturdy look
so pleasing to the eye of the true gard-
ener. As an aid ii; maintaining this
season of partial rest, the soil used in
potting cuttings should consist of new
soil composed of rotted sod without ma-
nure or fertilizer of any kind. This low
temperature is also a preventive against
the development of insect pests, but nev-
ertheless, keep a sharp lookout as there
is nothing that will sap the vitality of
young stock like greenfly or spider.

Topping Young Plants.

The matter of topping having so
much influence on the future shape and
productiveness of the plants, this opera-
tion should be the subject of some
study; more, perhaps than is usually
thought necessary.

While there is a proper time and way
to top a cutting of any variety, there
can be no arbitrary rule made that will
apply to all varieties as to the most de-
sirable point at which to top. A cut-
ting is ready to top when grown to such
length as the formation of a stem may
be clearly seen between the joints at the
point it is to be cut and I would insist
that a sharp knife be used in the opera-
tion. In deciding just where the point
in question is, one must be governed by
the general habit of a varie^; each has
a natural manner of growth peculiar to
itself and to accomplish the best results
in plant building it is necessary to ac-
quire definite knowledge of this pecu-
liarity.

Varieties of sprawly growth, unless
kept well under control in the early
stages, become exceedingly diflBcult to
manage later and consequently must be
closely watched. If allowed to run up
to a considerable length there is not
only danger of giving the plant a se-
vere check by the removal of too great
an amount of tissue at one time, but
the stem is quite likely to have arrived
at that stage where strong breaks can-
not be looked for. High temperature^
insufficient light and over-rich soil all
conspire to aggravate sprawliness in
growth, while the cool treatment before
referred to will be found a valuable aid
in inducing more compact growth in va-
rieties of this habit, at the same time
preserving the natural bushy habit of
those possessing it. Geo. S. Osborn.

extensively last year and the blooms
were very fine, but it was not found as

THE CARNATION OF TODAY.

[A paper by Robert Craig, of Philadelphia.
pre?:entt'd to the Horticultural Society of New
York on February 14, I'JIC]

The carnation, as grown today, is al-
most exclusively a florists' flower, and
hydridizers have been breeding to im-
prove this strain, but there is a wider
field and an import lat field for them —
the development of garden carnations
hardy enough lo live through the winter
without protection, iji the latitude of
Philadelphia and Now \ork, and with
the quality of blooming through the
summer. The discussion of this idea
might form a lengthy paper in itself,
80 I will confine my remarks to varie-
ties grown under glass for winter
bloom.

It would not be wise for me, in view
of the fact that at the present time
the literature of the carnation is so vo-
luminous, to attempt to give you a com-
prehensive and detailed history of the
wonderful flower, as we know it today,
and as we see it here on the tables to-
night.

There is more space in the gardening
papers devoted to the carnation than to
any other plant or flower. The minutest
details as to soils to be used, and meth-
ods of culture to be observed, as well
as criticisms and descriptions of new
varieties as they appear, with histories
of the achievements (>f each in the com-
petitive exhibitions throughout the
country, with able discussions on the an-
cestry of each pedigreed variety; its
vigor of constitution or lack of it; its
freedom of bloom or its failure to have
this very desirable quality; its desir-
able habit of commencing to bloom ear-
ly in the fall, or its undesirable ten-
dency to defer blooming until a later
period. Detailed and frequent infor-
mation on every thing pertaining to
carnations is so easily accessible that
every one interested must have his de-
sire for knowledge almost fully satis-
fied, as far as the printed page can
give, and little further can be learned
except by personal culture of the plant,

which occupation I recommend to ev-
ery amateur as one of the most charm-
ing that can engage his or her atten-
tion. So, I feel that if I am to inter-
est you tonight, it may be by a brief
expression of my thoughts as I review
my experiences of the past forty years,
with mention of the most famous varie-
ties which have appeared from time to
time, remaining with us until they were
either overtaken with disease or were
displaced by better varieties of similar
color and character. Of the'iiundreds of
sorts introduced in that period I will
speak in about the order of their intro-
duction, and of each color separately,
so as to bring clearly to your minds
the wonderful improvement which, not-
withstanding many failures, has gradu-
ally been maue.

Improvements Maintain Interest.

The frequent appearance of improved
varieties is the principal factor in main-
taining the lively interest in the car-
nation ; there is always something to be
said about a distinguished new-comer
and comparisons to be made with those
that have preceded it. Scarcely a year
passes by without bringing us one or
more real improvements; other kinds of
plants and flowers, with the possible ex-
ception of the chrysanthemum, do not
appear to be so susceptible of improve-
ment.

Take the rose, for instance, particu-
larly the varieties which are forced for
cut flowers; we see few changes for
the better. Bride and Bridesmaid have
remained for many years the leading
teas, and the peerless American Beauty
has had no rival for a quarter of a cen-
tury. It is true that quite recently
there have been introduced several good
forcing roses, Liberty, Killarney, and,
last, the very valuable Eichmond rose.
The latter is destined to be very large-
ly grown ; all honor to E. (Jr. Hill for
the Eichmond. In his enthusiasm for
novelties, he has sometimes given us
sorts which did not pan out, but his
services in giving us this last new rose
have atoned for all his previous short-
comings. He is busy raising rose seed-
lings, has thousands on the way, and
with the experience of so many years
to help him, is almost certain, soon
again, to give us something we will all
be proud of.

But we cannot hope to get good, new
roses as frequently as carnations, it is
not in the wood. Take again, another
class of plants, the palms, so deservedly
popular as house plants. Nothing new
appears at all equal to the old-time ken-
tias and arecas. New palms, it is true.

i are • introduced from time to time, bnt^
I none equal to those which we have had
so many years.

"While the constant introduction of
new carnations is very interesting and
! fascinating, it is alas, true, that where
we get one real improvement, there are'
several introduced with exaggerated-
praises which are practically worthless*.
But it will be more difficult in the fu-
ture to send out poor or mediocre sorts;:
the trade is becoming more and mor*
critical and the National Carnation So-
ciety is doing all it can to prevent th^
introduction of inferior sorts. If ther»-
be a really good sort ready for the-
, market, this very critical inspection and-
/ wide publicity will only serve to adrer-
tise its merits and increase its sale.

The First Valuable Carnation.
The first valuable carnation to come
under my notice was La Purite, whieb
is generally spoken of as of a deep
pink color ; it was rather a carmine ■mtik.
violet flame. The shade was very pleas-
ing. It was imported from France ii»'
1858; in 1862 my father bought <me-
plant which cost $2.50 and proved to-
be a good investment, as it was of easy
propagation, and two years later we-
had a good stock which was in brisk
demand at $20 per hundred. I once
heard the late Georije Wilson, of Mai-
den, Mass., who was a very successfol'
florist, say that the best investment be
ever made in floriculture was the pur-
chase of fifty plants of La Purite at $5
per plant. This was probably in 1861.
This carnation was for fifteen years or
more, the most largely cultivated of the
time. It was very productive. I hare
seen a house of it at the late Wm. Ben-
nett's, at Flatbush, which had on every
plant from seventy-five to one hundred
buds at the one time. I never saw it
grown in quantity quite so well as he
grew it, but it came to pass, after he
liad grown it so well lor a number of"
years, it was attacked by stem-rot, and
on calling at his place one day early
in the winter, I found more than one-
half the plants dead. It was so at-
tacked with more or less virulence, i»
all sections of the country and, I be-
lieve, the once grand old variety is now
extinct. I last saw it at Karl Muller'»
place in West Philadelphia., about fif-
teen years ago. This fine old Germai*-
gardener managed lo grow it success-
fullv five or six years after it had gen-
erally disappeared. The blooms of L»-
Purite were about one-third the sise
ot our now famous Enchantress, an^
the mental comparison between the two^
is to me very interesting. No cama^

Care of Young Stock.

It Would seem unnecessary at first
ihoiii^ht to remind a grower that his
yonii;; stmk needs caieful attention, but
I know from experience how apt we are
to ^i\e .-IS little time as j>ossii)le to the
lion producris. .\ ca--.ual glaiu-e over the
lieiich in the morning, a hurried water-
\wj_ ot' those ni'eding it, a mental note
that ere hm;.;- they nnist be gone thrmigh
thoroiiehly .and the matter is dismissed
Iroiu the mimi for the day.

I'ldin the moment a cutting is severed
fiiun till' mature plant its future is de-
jiendent on the conditions which siir-
i-ouml it and it is during the first few
iiMUillis oi' its existence as a si']>ai'ate
plant that these conilitions may be said
lo h:i\e the ereatest inllmnce in shajunLl
its course. I'nder pre\ailiiig methoils
the carnation spemls practically its
whole lii'e under .artificial sui'rouadings,
the only time presenti^d for getting
close to iiatin"e beiuu' n brief' sojourn in
the field, eM'ii this beiiiix denied in the
case of continuous i iilture under glass.

It is md in any sense my piirjiose to
criticize present cultural nndhods, l.mt to
call attention to the fact that there
should be a jieriod (luring the life <d" a
pl.ant that jiarbakes n\' the nature of a
rest, ;l c;iI| from labor to refreshment
a- it were. it is clearly out of the (|ues-

tion to jnovide this for mature i)Iants,
but it can very easily and without cx-
jiense, be furnished the youngsters.

.\s soon as potted and sufliciently es-
fablishoa to stand fidl sun, remove to a
house so arranged in tlie matter of heat
and veidilation that there mtiy be no
sudden fluctuations in temperature;
gradually reduce the temperature so that
when well established tlie thermometer
will range between ;!S degrees to -ID de-
gre(^s at night and ")0 degrees during the
day. (irowth will be slower, which is
the ob_iect sought. It is not so much
size tliiit is wanted in the early life of a
carnation jdant as it is tlnit sturdy look
so pleasing to the (wc of the true gard-
ener. As an aid in maintaining this
season of ])artial rest, the soil used in
potting cuttings slundd consist of new
soil composed of rotted sod without ma-
nure or fertilizer of any kind. This low
teiuperatur(> is also a preventive against
the development of insect jiests, but nev-
ertheless, keep a sharp lookout as tliere
is nothing that will sai) the vitality of
young stock like greenfly or spider.

Topping Young Plants.

The matter of to]>ping having so
much influence on the future sha])e and

The Weekly Florists' Review.

Febbuaby 22, 1906.

tion has had, as the theatrical men say,
such a long run on the stage as La Pu-
rite. Its successors in the deep pink
class were Tidal Wave and Thomas
Cartledge, both useful, but Tidal Wave
attained the greater popularity.

The Light Pink Class.

Of the light pink class there have
been several notable ones. Grace Wil-
der, introduced by Mr. Dailley, was a
very useful variety, lor many years the
best of its color. Later, we had the
famous Wm. Scott, and if Mr. Dorner
had done nothing else, he deserves a
monument for raising and introducing
this. It came out at the same time as
Eichmond and Albertini, both of which
excelled it on the exhibition table, but
both fell so lar behind it in produc-
tiveness that they were soon dropped,
while Wm. Scott for many years had
no successful rival, until Mrs. Fr&nces
Joost appeared. Later we had Nelbon
and Genevieve Lord. The famous Law-
son then appeared. The introduction of
this variety gave a greater impulse to
carnation growing than any variety be-
fore or since, xn many respects it was
superior to anything preceding it; it
was brilliantly advertised, and best of
all, justified every claim made for it. It
made Peter Fisher's name a household
word in carnation circles, and when he
introduced Enchantress, saying that it
was better than Lawson there were many
doubters, but Peter v/as right. We hope
he may live to give us more as good
or better. The parents of Lawson were
Tidal Wave (locally known as Van
Leeuwen) anu Daybreak, which latter
was a distinct and \aluable break. Out
of Lawson have come several famous
sorts. Enchantress, Mrs. M. A. Patten
and Nelson Fisher; ana Mr. Fisher has
a brilliant red on the way. It is cer-
tainly a rich strain of blood.

And we are ready for another one
of this color. Helen Goddard bids fair
to be a winner, and when Helen Gould
and Winsor are introduced next year,
particularly Winsor, they will certainly
prove valuable. I am in love with
Winsor; it is just the shade of pink
that is wanted, has a vigorous constitu-
tion, a fine, stiff stehi, and is very pro-
ductive. 1 have had no opportunity of
seeing Candace, a western variety now
being disseminated, but I have heard it
well spoken of by competent judges.

Another shade of color which has
been very popular may be called very
light pink. The first one of these that
I was familiar with was Miss Joliflfe,
a light flesh, tinted with salmon. I
knew it well thirty years ago as the
best in its class. Later we had Day-
break. This was a very valuable varie-
ty with flowers larger than any which
had preceded it and with, for that date,
wonderful, long, stiu stems, and of
a very lovely light flesh shade, and un-
usually productive ; for many years, the
best of its class, but it finally succumbed
to disease and was displaced by Fair
Maid and Enchantress, both excellent
varieties. In fact, 1 think Enchantress
the best carnation, all things consid-
ered, ever sent out in this country. It
is still very popular, and as long as it
continues to be as good as it is now,
it will take a wonder, indeed, to dis-
place it. It is a model in all that con-
stitutes a good carnation, and raisers of
new varieties should aim to get its
qualities in their seedlings. What a
boon a clear yellow Enchantress would
be!

The Scarlet Class.

But I find my paper likely to take
too much of your time, so in consider-
ing the important scarlet class, I will
l)ass over them with brief mention.
What a demand for this color at Christ-
mas, it goes so well with the holly ber-
ries, the cheerful chimes and the gen-
eral joy! Century was raised in 1878
by the late Charles T. Starr, and while
more of a carmine than a scarlet, was
very bright and was very useful until
the advent of John Thorpe's Portia,
which was a brilliant scarlet, and very
largely grown for many years. Its col-
or has never been excelled; it was very
productive; lack of size was its great-
est drawback. Then we had in rapid
succession Lady Emma, Alegatiere, Gar-
field (this is the variety that Donald
McCallum called Eobert Craig, think-
ing he had a sport, but after being con-
siderably grown as Eobert Craig turned
out to be Garfield), then Estelle, still
grown in some sections; G. H. Crane,
for years a good ore; then America,
Adonis, and finally Cardinal. This has
proved to be a good one in the west-
ern states, but has so far, hardly come
up to expectations in the east; in fact,
it has been a great flitappointment, pro-
ducing a large percentage of worthless
blooms.

The White Class.

Now, we will briefly consider the
white class, so largely used for funerals,
weddings and in general floral work.
The oldest white one that I know was
President Degraw, imported from
France about the same time as La Pu-
rite, and introduced to commerce by
the late lamented Chas. Zeller, of Flat-
bush, the original carnation enthusiast
of America, whose stock of more than
fifty varieties I had the pleasure of in-
specting some thirty-five years ago;
carnation growing was in its infancy
then. They were most grown in pots,
although they were beginning to be
planted by a few growers, mostly in
solid beds and a few on benches, which
is now the most popular way of grow-
ing. President Degraw had a long run,
many years of popularity. Then came
Peerless or Edwardsii, followed by Kin-
zie's White, Peter Henderson, Snowden,
Silver Spray, a good one; Lizzie Mc-
(jrowan, none better in its time; Flora
Hill, for a long time famous and still
grown to a considerable extent; Glacier,
Queen Louise, The Queen, Lady Bounti-
ful, most beautiful (the greatest defect
in this fine variety is the tendency to
be a shy bloomer in the fall and early
winter) ; white Lawson and, finally,
Lieut. Peary, which I think is the most
valuable white to date. Vesper is an-
other good one, and not as well known
as it deserves to be; it is vigorous, early
and continuous, very satisfactory with
many growers. White Enchantress
promises well. The Pelle is a very good
white with many growers.

In crimsons, which is one of the least
important, commercially, we have had
Black Knight, Louis Lenoir, Anna
Webb, Crimson King, F. Mangold, Sea-
wan, Gomez, Maceo, Daheim, Harlowar-
den and Harry Fenn; tue latter two are
the best in this class and are still cul-
tivated.

White Variegated.

The class known as white variegated
has been represented by a number of
varieties, enjoying a large measure of
popularity; the best have been Hins-

dale, a good variety extensively grown
fifteen or twenty years ago. I never
saw it better than at John H. Taylor's,
Bayside, L. I. For several years he
grew it in large quantity; Chester
Pride; Variegated La Purite, a sport
from the great La Purite; Mrs. Bradt
and Lilly Dean, Olympia, Prosperity,
M. A. Patten and Variegated Lawson.
The latter two are the latest and best.
Jessica, which is being introduced this
year, looks promising.

In yellow variegated, we have had
Astoria, introduced by Wm. Wilson, of
Astoria, about thirty years ago, a fine
variety in its day. Then came Chas. T.
Starr's Buttercup, introduced to the
trade in 1884, and the best one we have
ever had; followed by Andalusia and
Sunrise and Eldorado, which are now
probably both out of cultivation. We
need a good, new one in this class.

American Carnation Best.

Now, I have named in all the classes
most of those that have been specially
valuable in the past and those which
are the best at the present time. I
have also had the "-emerity to pick the
winners of those being introduced this
year. It is interestiag to note that the
early and free bloommg qualities of the
American carnation are beginning to
be recognized by some of the wide-awake
English growers. Among the kinds that
have done well over there may be men-
tioned Enchantress and America. Fair
iuaid. The Belle and Harlowarden have
done particularly well. I recommend our
English friends to try Helen Goddard,
and, when they are introduced, Winsor
and Beacon. Although there is a lack
of sunlight in England, the free-bloom-
ing American varieties produce some
flowers in the fall and winter and in
March, April, May and June bloom free-
ly. As the London fashionable season
runs into July, there is always a good
demand for the blooms. The method of
growing, heretofore, in England has
been in pots, but the American method
of growing on benches has been intro-
duced. Mr. Ditton, one grower near
London, has been quite successful.

One thing seems clear: The best of
the American sorts are superior in pro-
ductiveness to any on earth, and equal
in form and color to the best anywhere.
Although there have been many disap-
pointments, the advances are surprising,
almost bewildering, and it is to be hoped
that those who have devoted so much
time and thought to seedling raising,
may continue with enthusiasm in the
good work and that the number of those
who are so engaged may be largely in-
creased, for when success comes to any,
it may be enjoyed by all, both profes-
sional and amateur, who are willing to
participate. We owe much to those who
are willing to grow hundreds of seed-
lings, and to test them at great ex-
pense for several years in the hope of
occasionally getting one good enough
to send out. The cool, calculating, sure-
thing, business man is not likely to spend
much time raising seedlings, but the
intelligent enthusiast in the carnation
field is always likely to become a bene-
factor to us all.

I WOULD like to congratulate you on
the phenomenal results obtained from
my advertisement. I have sold several
hundred thousand Asparagus plumosus
nanus seeds. The Eeview surely does
the work. — F. Gilman Taylor, Glendal^
Cal.

PERMANENT BENCHES.

Because of the very great interest
now felt in the matter of more enduring
bench construction, the following de-
scription of the benches lately built by
the George Wittbold Co., Chicago, will
be particularly valuable. The Wittbold
Co. has had the experience common to
all growers who have used wooden tables.
They have suffered the annoyancos of
break-downs where rebuilding was too
long postponed and have been compelled
to devote precious time to rebuilding at
busy seasons. They have figured the
expense of renewing wooden benches
every three or four years and have ex-
perimented with various styles of more
enduring construction, with the result
that all benches now being built are
built as follows:

Vitrified drain tiles are used for sup-
ports, set in concrete. A temporary
board bottom is built on these, of any
light material that may be available.
Sheet-iron sides seven inches high are
used, but wood would serve with occa-
sional renewals. The side pieces are
fastened in position by %-inch tie rods
every two feet. These have lock nuts.
Over the tie rods chicken wire is placed.
Then an inch or a little more of cement
is worked in, to surround the wire and
rods, making a solid bottom and protect-
ing rods and wire from rust. To pro-
vide drainage holes are punched with a
chisel before the cement has set. These
should be scattered irregularly, but not
more than six or eight inches apart.
When the cement has set the temporary
flooring is knocked away, permitting the
bench to settle into its permanent place
on the tiles.

Louis Wittbold figures out the cost of
such a bench, 5^x100 feet, 550 square
feet, as follows:

Cement, 22 bags @ 40c $ S.SO

Sand .'J.OO

Chicken wire 4.<)0

Iron for side , . . . 15.<H)

Cross rods, 5<) @ 5c 2.50

Tiles for posts, 75 @ 12c 9.00

Total $42..'?0

This is at a very small fraction above
7^2 cents per square foot, not counting
labor, which is only a little more than
is required to built one wooden bench
and not nearly so much as is expended
on wooden tables in the course of a few
years. For another thing, these cement
tables are smooth-bottomed and easy to
empty.

TO GROW VIOLETS.

I have read your notes on the violets
and I now take the liberty of writing
for a little information and advice. I
have an even -span house running east and
west, 10x100 feet, seven feet high, heat-
ed by steam, ample roof ventilation for
carnations, etc. Air is always dry; by
that I mean never close and muggy. I
have been considering putting the house
to violets on beds or border, about
twelve inches high. What variety would
you suggest for planting such a house?

Cement Bench in Course of Construction at Wittbold's, Chicago.

Would want some single and balance,
about 1,000 plants, of doubles. I want
the best and finest bloomers and variety
most sought, fragrance and keeping
qualities to be taken into consideration.
Could give them careful attention. My
soil is of clayey make-up in which my
roses do most beautifully. There are no
violets grown about here, to speak of.
Any suggestions or information you may
see fit to impart will be appreciated.

H. M. H.

H. M. H. has sent a query covering
ground that may be of interest to others
in planning for next season's campaign,
so I will answer through this depart-
ment for the benefit of those that may be
similarly situated and yet wondering if
it is best to make a change.

While houses running north and south
are generally conceded to be the best for
growing violets, still, if the east and
west house was all that we could use
for them we should not liesitate to gi%e
it a trial. The ventilation and shading
will require closer attention than the
other houses would, but, with the care
you can give them, 1 see no reason why
you should not be fairly successful. If
the house is seven feet high, I suppose
the walls are about three or four feet.
You suggest having the beds or borders
about one foot high. This, I think,
would be rather low, as the violets like
to be near the glass and, if I could, I
should have them as close as a foot
from the glass. As to using benches or
borders, much- depends on local circum-
stances. As your soil is heavy or clayey,
if you make a solid border for them,
which we always prefer, care should be
taken to provide ample drainage in the
liottom of same, else in the dark, cloudy
days of winter you will not be able to
j)roperly dry out the soil between the
waterings without employing more heat
than is good for them and which you
will be likely to do if you have the house
piped for carnations and are using
steam. You will want valves enough in
the coils so that you can keep the tem-
j)erature low.

As to the varieties to plant, there are
two considerations that will nearly al-
ways settle that question, an<l these are:
First, what your trade calls for; an<l
second, what variety takes to your soil

! and treatment most kindly. For real
beauty and fragrance, when properly
grown, the Marie Louise type stands at
the head. When you can, get good stock
of the Farquhar; this is an improved

, Marie Louise and all right aside from
its tendency to throw " bullheads" at
certain times; hut if you find you ean-

} not succeed with these two kinds, or
your house is rather warm for them, then
the chances are that the Lady Hume
Campbell will succeed. This is' a beau-
tiful violet when well grown and exceed-
ingly fragrant, its only drawback being
its lighter color which absolutely kills it
if mixed with the others, the contrast

i making it look as if faded. As a pot-
plant for p:aster and such times it is
without a rival; therefore, if just com-

' mencing to grow violets, give all kinds
an equal show, both single and double.
A year or two will prove which kinds
Avill succeed with you and which vour
customers desire and that will naturally

i determine what you will then settle
down to growing for a regular thing.

Now, as regards the stock, be sure vou
purchase only thoroughly clean, heafthv
stock; preferably from "a locality north
of you. for as a rule stock taken from
a iioint north and carrie<l south does
better than stock taken from the south
to the north. If possible, go and see
the stock before purchasing it, for poor
stock is money thrown away.

The Light Pink Class.

(Ji tiiL' light pink class tin re have
liceii scvfial iiotahli' uiics. (Iracc W'il-
<ler, iatiothicod liv Mr. Daillrv, was a
very usol'iil variety, inr many years the
l)est of its color. Later, we had the
famous Will. Scott, and if Mr. Doriier
had done nothing' ( Ise. he deserves a
monninent for raisinn' and introducing
this. it oaiiie out at liie saini' time as

while Win. Scott for many years had
no siK'cessfid iival, until Mrs. Fr.^ncea
-loost a I i|ie.i red. Later we luul Xelsun
and Genevieve J.ord. The famous Law-
son then appeared. The introduction of
this variety gave a greater impulse to
carnntion growing tlian any variety lie-
fore or since, sn many resj>ei-is it was
superior to anything prccedine it; it
was hiilliantly advertised, .and liest of
all, justitied every claim made for it. It
made Peter Fisher '^ name a household
word in carnation circles, and when he
introiliiced Knchantress. saying that it
was better than L.awsoii there wfiemaiiv
doubters, but Peter v/.-is ri<;ht. \\ t> hope
he may live to give ns more as ;;ood
or better. The ])arents of Ijawson were
Tidal Wave (locally known as Van
fieeuweu) aua Daybreak, which latter
was a distinct and ' aluable lireak. Out
of Lawson have com^ several famous
sorts. Knchantress. Mrs. ]\L A. I'atten
and ^Nelson Fisher; :imi Mr. Fisher has
a brilliant red on the way. It is cijr-
tainly a rich strain of blViod.

And we are ready for another one
of this color. Helen (loddard lods fair
to be a winner, and when Helen Could
and Winsor are introduced next year,
particularly Winsor. they will <ertainly
prove valuable. I jnii in love with
Winsor; it is Just the shade ot' pink
that is wanted, has a vigorous constitu-
tion, a fine, stilf stem, and is \cr\ pro-
ductive. J have hail no opportunity of
seeing Candace, a v esterii \ariety now
beiiiL,' disseminated, but T have heard it
well spoken of In' cornpeteni judges.

Another shade of ccdiu- which has
been vei-y popular may be called very

light jiink. The lir-t oi f tlies(^ that

T was familiar witli was Miss .biliffe,
a light tiesh. tinted with salmon. I
knew it well thirty years ago as the
l)est in its class. Later we had Day-
break. This was ;i very valuable varie-
ty with tlowers Jarijer than any which
had preceded it and with, tor that date,
wonderful, long, stin stems, .and of
a very lovely li^lit tiesh shaile, and un-
usually jirodnctive; for many years, the
best of its class, l>ut it finally succumbed
to disease and was displai'ed by Fair
Maid and Fnchanliess, both excellent
varieties. In fact, I think laichantress
the best carnal ioTi, all things consid-
ered, ever sent out in this country. It
is still very pojmlar. and as long as it
continues to be as good as it is now,
it will take a wonder, indeed, to dis-
place it. Jt is a model in all that con-
stitutes a good carn.ntion. and raisers of
new varieties should aim to get its
qualities in their seedlings. What a
boon ;i clear vi^llow Knchantress would
be'

The Scarlet Class.

Put I find my jiaper likely to take
too much of your time, so in cousider-
iiii; the important sc.arlet cl.nss, i will
pass over them with brief mention.
What a demand for this color at Christ-
m:is, it goes so well with the holly ber-
ries, the cheerful chimes and the gen-
eral joy! Century \»as raised in 1878
by the late Charles T. Starr, and while
more of a carmine than a scarlet, was
\ery bright and was very useful until
the advent of John Thorjje's Portia,
which was a brilliant scarlet, and very
largely grown for many years, its col-
cu- has never been excelled; it was very
productive; lack of size was its great-
est drawback. Then wo had in rapid
succession Lady hanma, Alegatiere, Gar-
field (this is the variety that Donald
McCallum called Hohert Craig, think-
ing he had a sj)ort, but after being con-
siderably grown as liobert t'raig turned

blooms.

The White Class.

Now. we Avill brieflv ccuisider tiic
white class, so Largely used i'nv funerals,
weddings and in i',t;neral Ihu-al work,
Th(> oldest white one that 1 know was
President Degraw, im])orted from
I'ranco about the same time as La Pu-
rite. .and introduceil to commerce by
the late lamented Chas. Zeller, of Flat-
liiisli. the original carnation enthusiast
of America, whose stock of more than
fifty varieties 1 had the pleasure of in-
s|i(>cting some thirty-five years ago;
carnation growing was in its infancy
then. They wore most grown in pots,
.although they were beginning to l)e
planted by a few growers, mostly in
solid beds and a few on benches, which
is now the most popular way of grow-
ing. President Degraw had a long run,
many years of popularity. Then came
Peerless or Kdw.ardsii, followed by Kin-
/.ie's White, Peter Ffenderson, Snowden,
Silver Spray, a goo<l one; liizzie Mc-
<iow:in, none bettor in its time; Flora
1 1 ill, for a long time famous and still
^rown to a considerable extent; Glacier,
<Jueen Louise. The Ouoen, Lady Pounti-
tiil, most lieaiififul (the greatest defect
ill this fine v.ariety is the tendency to
be a shy liloomer in tlie fall and early
winter); white Lawson and. finally,
Kieut. Peary, which 7 think is the most
valuable white to date. X'esper is an-
other good one. and not .as well known
as it deserves to be; it is vigorous, early
and continuous, very satisfactory with
many grow<'rs. AVhife Knchantress
])romises well. The Pello is a very good
white witii many gri>vvers.

in crimsons, which is one of the least
important, commercially, we have had
I'.lack Knight. Louis lienoir. Anna
Weiib. Crimson Kinir. ''• Mangold, Sea-
wan, Gomez, Maceo, Daheim. Harlowar-
<len and Harry Fern; fne latter two are
the best in this class and are still cul-
t ivated.

White Variegated.

The class known as white variegated
has been represented by a number of
varieties, enjoying a large measure of
[lojiularity ; the liest have been Hins-

ilale, a good variety extensively grown
lifteen or twenty years ago. I never
saw it better than at John H. Taylor 's,
Bayside, li. 1. For several years he
grew it in large quantity; Chester
Pride; Variegated La Purite, a sport
from the great La Purite; Mrs. Bradt
and Lilly Dean, Olympia, Prosperity,
M. A. Patten and Variegated Lawson.
The latter two are the latest and best,
.lesbica, which is being introduced tiiis
year, looks jiromising.

in yellow variegated, we have had
Astoria, introduced by Wm. Wilson, of
Astoria, about thirty years ago, a fine
variety in its day. Then came Chas. T.
Starr's Buttercuj), introduced to the
trade in 1884, and the best one we have
ever had; followed by Andalusia and
Sunrise and Lldorado, which are now
probably both out of cultivation. We
need a good, new one in this class.

American Carnation Best.

Mow, I have named in all the classes
most of those that have been s|)ecially
valuable in the past and those which
are the best at the present time. I
have also had the 'emerity to jiick the
winners of those being introduced this
year. It is iuterestiug to note that the
early and free blooming qualities of the
American carnation are beginning to
be recognized by some of the wide-awake
English growers. Among the kinds that
have done well over there may be men-
tioned I'aichantross and America. Fair
-uaid, The Belle and Harlowarden have
done particularly well. I recommend our
English friends to try Helen Goddard,
and, when they are ^utroduced. Winsor
and Beacon. Although there is a hick
of sunlight in England, the free bloom-
ing American varieties ])roduce some
flowers in the fall and winter and in
March, April, May and .June bloom free-
ly. As the London fashionable season
runs into .July, there is always a good
demand for the blooms. The method of
growing, heretofore, in England has
been in pots, but the American method
of growing on benches has been intro-
duced. Mr. Ditton, one grower near
liondon, has been quite successful.

One thing seems clear: The best of
the American sorts are superior in jiro-
ductiveness to any on earth, and equal
in form and color to the best anywhere.
Although there have been many disap-
pointments, the advances are surprising,
almost bewildering, and it is to be hoped
that those who have devoted so much
time and thought to seedling raising,
may continue with enthusi.asm in the
gooil work and lliat the number of those
who are so engaged may be largely in-
creased, for when success comes to any,
it may be enjoyc'd by all, both profes-
sional and .amateur, who are willing to
participate. We owe much to those who
are willing to grow iiundreds of seed-
lings, .and to test them at great ex-
pense f(U- several years in the hope of
occasionally getting one good enough
to send out. The cool, calculating, sure-
thing, business man is not likely to spend
inuch time r.aising seedlings, but the
intelligent enthusiast in the carnation
field is always likely to become a bene-
factor to us all.

PERFECT HEATING APPARATUS.

Here is a perfect heating apparatus
for the man with a shallow boiler pit
and using low pressure steam : Instead of
using a pump or steam trap of any kind
that I have ever seen, place a barrel or
tank twelve feet above the return pipe,
and run a %-inch pipe from the return
to the top of the tank; also run a i/o-
inch or 7.1-inch pipe from the bottom of
the tank, with check valve near the
boiler to keep the steam from backing
up when throwing the cold water out
of the pipes. As soon as the water gets
out of the pipes, it relieves the pressure ;
the water starts from the tank to the
boiler and keeps a steady heat with less
trouble or expense than any device I have
ever used. I am at present using a
fifty-gallou barrel with success, heating
•1,500 square feet of glass and the pump
1 !iave been using is idle.

If anyone wishing further information
in regard to this method will let it be
known, I will tell freely what I can in
regard to it J. N. Peeby.

El Eeno, Okla.

NUMBER OF PIPES REQUIRED.

How many flow and return pipes do
we need in our two houses running north
and south? We woiild like to use a 3-
inch flow and a 2-ineh return, as we have
some of this on hand. We have a No. 3
Kroeschell hot water boiler located at
the north end of a house 22x80 feet,
twelve feet to the ridge, one row of 16x
16-inch glass in the west side. One
house ninety feet long joins the 80-foot
house and boiler shed, thirty teet wide
and thirteen feet to the ridge, with no
inside wall. There are thirty-two inches
of glass in the east side, with ventilators
and glass in the north end. We want to
hold the temperature at from 45 degrees
to 50 degrees. The temperature outside
often falls to 22 degrees below zero.
These houses will have solid benches.

F. W. B.

Your house 22x80 feet can be piped
with one 3-inch flow under the ridge, re-
turning by twelve 2-inch returns, and the
house 30x90 can be piped with a 3-inch
flow under the ridge, although I should
prefer this to be 3V2-inch, and ten 2-inch
returns. The total amount of radiation
needed in both houses is between 1,600
and 1,700 square feet, which is much
less than the rated capacity of your
boiler. L. C. C.

SIZE OF STEAM BOILER.

What size steam boiler would it take
to heat the following houses: Three
houses each 20x150 feet with fifteen feet
slope, 5-foot walls of concrete; also, a
show room on east end connecting all
together, 20x40 feet? Which uses the
most fuel, a locomotive boiler or a
bricked-up tubular? Which is the better
way to build houses for general stock,
east and west or north and south? The
temperature goes to 30 degrees below
zero sometimes. E. K. B.

One thirty horse-power boiler, i. e., a
boiler forty-two inches in diameter and
twelve feet in length, is just about large
enough to care for the radiation you
have. To be on the safe side, however,
it will be wise to install a forty horse-

power boiler. The type of boiler here
considered is the horizontal tubular
bricked-in, which is the most economical
type of boiler for heating purposes
where less than 150 horse-power is re-
quired. There are advocates of north
and south houses and equally strong and
persistent advocates of east and west
houses. Personally, I prefer the north
and south ridge. From the standpoint of
construction, to give most light, the
north and south house has advantages
not offered by any other type, but this
carries with it a pitch of roof suited to
the latitude in which the house is locat-
ed, as well as for the crop it is to carry.

L. C. C.

PLAN FOR PIPING.

Will you give us a plan for piping a
connected house, 18x106 feet, with hot
water for roses f There is a l6-inch glass
on one side, two 4-foot side benches, one
6-foot ground bench. It is tlirec lv>'X.
from the bottom of the side bench to
the top of a No. 16 Hitchings boiler,
twelve feet to ridge. M. B.

A good plan for piping the house 18x
106 feet would be to run a 3-inch riser
or flow pipe under the ridge to the end
of the house farthest from the boiler
and there divide it to return by two
coils consisting of four 2-inch pipes
each, one coil under each of the two
side benches and four other 2-inch pipes
arranged eighteen inches to two feet
above the level of the 6-foot solid bed,
if such an arrangement can be made to
work with the crops to be grown. If
pipes over the middle bench are not de-
sirable the four pipes can be added to
the coils under the side benches, in
which case each coil would contain six
instead of four 2-inch returns. Twelve
2-inch pipes the length of the house are
necessary to supply sufficient radiation
iu the house. L. C. C.

REARRANGING OF PIPES.

We have lately taken over some green-
houses in which the piping is very poorly
arranged. The system is hot water.
Some of the runs are 200 feet; and, to
add to the trouble, the main flow, 6-inch,
rises seven feet, then falls six feet;
then the pipes rise again to the ends of
the houses and turn in every direction.
We have a powerful boiler but the cir-
culation is, of course, bad. We were
proposing to pull down and arrange the
pipes properly this summer, but if we
understand your article on circulating
apparatus correctly one of these devices
would obviate the necessity of so doing.
We have about 2,000 feet of 4-inch pipe.
What horse-power motor should we need
to run a circulating pump in the main
6-inch return? Should we save the cost
of running the motor, using an alternat-
ing current, by a corresponding decrease
iu our coal bill? Of course, we know
that the pump would have much more
friction to contend with in our bad sys-
tem than if the piping were properly
arranged, but we want especially to
know if it would work satisfactorily
under present conditions. E. A. W.

If, as you state, the piping, particu-
larly the flow pipes, are so poorly ar-
ranged I doubt if the use of circulat-
ing apparatus will make up for the defi-
ciencies of the system. Poorly arranged
flow pipes which impede the flow tend to
cause the water to lose its heat where
the circulation is restricted and if this

is in the flow the heat is thrown off
where it is least desired. This will be
true, only to a less degree even with the
aid of the circulating system. If the
flows are not too long, to avoid the use
of the pump it will be most satisfactory
to rely upon rearranging the pipes to
work on a gravity system. The more
complicated the system and the more
machinery there is to it the more trouble
it usually gives. I have no evidence at
hand which would warrant the statement
that the circulating aparatus would
reduce the fuel bill to an amount equal
to the cost of operating the motor. I
have an idea that it would at least come
near doing so, however, and 1 have heard
it stated that it would do much better
than that. Even if it seems desirable to
install the circulating pump I still be-
lieve that it would pay to eliminate as
many defects in the piping as practica-
ble. The power required to drive the cir-
culating apparatus depends upon the
rate of flow desired and the volume of
water to be moved, which without hav-

NATURAL GAS.

Will you kindly ask some of your
writers if they have used natural gas
for fuel? I have a 10-section hot water
boiler which I use in heating about
5,000 feet of glass. You will do me a
great favor in advising me on this sub-
ject. A part of my boiler room is under
one of my houses; the rest of it is under
the potting shed^ which is connected with
two houses. Does the odor from natural
gas injure plants? G. P. S.

I have had no personal experience in
using natural gas with the cast iron sec-
tional boiler under the conditions you
mention, but have used it for heating a
house with flue in which a direct air
intake was provided above the furnace
door and the heated air discharged di-
rectly in the house. I have also used it
under return tubular boilers for generat-
ing steam, but in this case the boiler
pit was separated from the greenhouses
by some distance. If you have good
chimneys and use care in turning off
and in lighting the gas there will be
even less danger of injurious fumes than
in the use of coal with a boiler pit ar-
ranged as you describe. L. C. C.

HEATER TOO SMALL.

I have built a coil heater. It con-
sists of nine 2-iiich pipes thirteen
feet long, manifold at each end, on two
trenches thirteen feet long, one two feet
wide and one sixteen inches. My grate
is 2x3 feet; the pipes are sixteen inches
above the grate. The fire travels to the
end of the trench two feet wide, returns
in the sixteen-inch trench and enters the
flue. Over the two-foot trench I have
another coil consisting of five 2-inch
pipes with a manifold at each end. The
draft is good, the flue 8x12 inches.
This heater is intended to heat a house
17x100 feet, glass at one end. Side
walls are three feet, double boarded,
with tar paper lining. I have seven runs
of 3-inch pipe, three for flows on
one side and four for returns on the
other side, all under the benches. The
returns are one and one-half feet high-
er that the flows and have a de-
cline of one and one-half feet. The
house runs east and west. The east end
is one and one-half feet higher and the

pipes, both flow and return, follow this
grading. The heater is at the west end.
Now, this heater will not do the work.
The pipes ueat up, but not hot enough;
I can get only 40 degrees in zero weath-
er and I thought it ought to be 60 de-
grees with that number of pipes. Have
I too many pipes for the heater or where
can the trouble be? The circulation
seems slow. Would I increase it by
placing one 3-inch flow under the ridge
and will one flow be sufficient for six
returns Are not seven 3-inch pipes too
much for this size house! G. O. K.

If your pipe heaiev contains nine 2-
inch pipes, thirteen feet long, it has a
heating capacity for about 580 square
feet of radiation when working under
full fire. Your house, however, requires
about 650 square feet of radiation.
This is equivalent to saying the heater
is too small. It should be increased
about one-fourth to have sufficient ca-
pacity. So far as the piping of the
house is concerned this is slightly de-
ficient. There should be 650 square feet
and you have provided in the seven
3-inch pipes 639 square feet of heat-
ing surface. With a good boiler the
pipe in the house ought to do the work.

COST OF PRODUCTION.

A writer on violet culture in an Ameri-
can contemporary has the following pas-
sage in his remarks on profits obtained:
"In interviewing a number of growers it
was the general opinion that it costs
about 23 cents per square foot of bed to
grow violets."

We call attention to this entirely apart
from the subject of the article from
which the extract is made, and would like
to put the question as to how many nurs-
erymen or growers here would be pre-
pared to answer an inquiry as to what
it cost them to grow any particular crop
of flowers, plants, etc. It is an axiom
so obvious as to scarcely need repetition,
that if a man can only tell what his stock

costs to grow, he knows at what price
he has to sell to make a living profit.
If our producers would only go into the
matter, we should hear less of ' ' cut
throat prices, " " ruinous competition, ' '
etc. There would naturally still be
glutted markets, and other occasions
when stuff must be sold below cost of
production, but the producer would then
know what he was doing and take meas-
ures accordingly, and not wait until the
bailiffs were in, to find out that he was
working on a rotten system. — Horticul-
tural Trade Journal.

THE TREND OF TRADE.

It is interesting to watch the way in
■which trade moves in certain well de-
fined channels. There are in every large
city many sources of supply for most
articles of florists' use, but as a rule
trade naturally flows to and is prac-
tically monopolized by one or two es-
tablishments. For instance, there are in
Chicago a number of houses dealing in
steam fitters' supplies, but the John
Davis Co. has practically all the green-
house business. It is the same way in
the matter of bench material, posts and
other lumber not supplied by the manu-
facturers of roof material. There are at
Chicago dozens of great lumber yards,
but the florists' business practically all
goes to one concern, the Adam Schillo
Lumber Co., which was established in
1869. Adam Schillo was related by mar-
riage to some of the pioneer growers
north of Chicago. His associations were
such that he had a personal acquaintance
with those who established the great
greenhouse and vegetable forcing in-
dustry of Cook county. The result was
that he had the business of the early
greenhouse builders and, as years have
passed, the corporation which was or-
ganized at his death has been equally
favored.

The accompanying illustration is from
a photograph showing the Schillo estab-
lishment. It will be of particular in-
terest to the growers from the fact

that, although they have spent thousands
of dollars with the company, many of
them have never seen the place. Prac-
tically all the business is done by mail
or telephone, few of the customers tak-
ing the trouble to visit the yards. Un-
der the management of John Schillo,
who became the head of the company at
his father's death, the business has been
extended to include car load shipments
to florists in widely separated parts of
the country. This has been facilitated
by the general adoption of Pecky
cypress as a bench material. When
growers became interested in the endur-
ing qualities of this ill-appearing wood
they asked Mr. Schillo to procure small
lots of it for trial. The results were so
satisfactory that the handling of Pecky
cypress for greenliouse benches has be-
come an important specialty with the
company. They have in recent seasons
not only supplied many thousands of
feet to Chicago growers, but have sent
many cars to growers throughout the
Mississippi valley. They have booked
orders for larger quantities than ever for
delivery this spring, much of which will
be shipped from th?* Louisiana mills
direct to the greenhouses, several cars be-
ing booked to go direct to the growers'
own sidetracks, for many greenhouses,
and practically all the new places, now
have track facilities to save the teaming
of coal.

Mr. Schillo says that because of the
great popularity Pecky cypress has at-
tained for bench material, the mills are
steadily advancing the price. It was
marketed with diflSculty before the
greenhouse people took it up.

Caldwell, Kan. — Mrs. George H.
Yantz, proprietor of the Border Queen
Greenhouse, has some very good seedling
geraniums raised from seed procured
from the Templin Co. One in particular
is a bright red, with an unusually large
truss of flowers carried on stems a foot
long. The plants are very floriferous.
Mrs. Yantz will work up a stock of this
variety.

The Great Central Market

There are few who make other than a
thoroughly satisfactory report of the
business in the })ast week. It is unde-
niable tliat with a majority of growers
l>roductioii is not so lieavy as we might
«xpect it to be in view of the mild
temperature and unusual amount of sun-
shine in the past month. It has not
taken an especially heavy demand to
keep the market well cleaned up and to
maintain prices at an unusually high
level for the season.

Beauties are somewhat more abundant
but are still good property. Brides have
been in better demand than Maids, but
both have sold out (juickly when of sat-
isfactory quality for the shipping re-
quirements. Low grade Brides and
Maids have not sold this week as well as
they did in the past fortnight. Uncle
.John is steadily winning friends. Lib-
erty and Richmond are short of the
market requirement.s.

A few days of especially good weather
have brought along the carnations m
fine shape, but the demand is so good
that it has been necessary for some
houses to cut their orders quite severely.
The quality of the stock was never better
and its ability to travel and then stay
awake in the retailers' ice boxes is
much improved. The market is over-
loaded with bulbous material. The re-
ceipts of Harrisii have slacked off, but
on all other items there has been an in-
crease. Tulips of the better sorts sell
■well, but there are enough of them for
all requirements. Valley is very fine.

Violets did exceptionally well for Val-

entine's day and have maintained their
position in the days which have since
passed. Some fine stock is coming from
Rhinebeck and tnere are large receipts
of fragrant home-grown singles, which
many retailers find are preferred

E. C. Amling reports that the green
goods market is showing increased ac-
tivity. There is complaint from several
sources as to the quality of ferns, ar-
riving shipments and cold storage.

Various Notes.

The funeral of George Wietor, held
at St. Henry's church last Thursday
morning, was largely attended. Mr
Wietor had lived on High Ridge for
more than fifty years and had hccu ihe
neighborhood grow from a wilderneF-<
to one of the principal greenhouse and
market gardening sections of the United
States. He was known and liked by
practically every man, woman and child
in the region. Mr. Wietor was related
to the Reinbergs by marriage and one
of his two daughters is the wife of
dohn Muno.

The wholesale florists have never had
a permanent organization. They pro-
pose to have one, and will hold a meet-
ing on Friday for the purpose .)f adopt-
ing by-laws, etc., preparatory to incor-
porating.

E. F. Winterson, who is manager of
the J?'lorists' Club's flower show sched-
uled for March 8, says that everv-thing
indicates the best exhibition the club
has ever enjoyed. Out of town ex-
hibitors who cannot personally stage
their stock are invited to send exhibits
in his care, to 45 Wabash avenue, arriv-
ing on the morning ot March 8.

The financial columns of the city

papers announce the reorganization of
the Ravenswood Exchange bank and
state that the board of directors has
been ' ' strengthened by the addition of
the name of Peter Reinberg. ' ' In the
city council last week Mr. Reinberg
voted for high license in spite of the
fact that the Columbus Brewing Co., of
which he is vice-president, has interests
which might have been expected to
prompt him to vote the other way.

Weiland & Risch liave a new crop of
Brides and Maids just on. The Maids
show particularly fiue color.

L. Coatsworth, of the Benthey-Coats-
worth Co., expects to go to New Castle
the latter part of this week to super-
intend building operations.

Bert Budlong was at South Bend a
day or two ago to attend a dinner given
by Mr. Treanor, of Treanor & Rettic.

Mrs. C. W, McKellar left on Tuesday
with a party of friends to attend the
Mardi Gras at New Orleans.

Poehlmann Bros. (Jo. has been miss-
ing stock from the greenhouses and
early Monday morning the night watch-
man caught the son of a fireman making
off with an armful of carnations,
I'iamingo is giving them very fine flowers
at present, but it doesn't follow that it
is because of the rarity of good results
from this variety that the boy stole
them.

L. Baumann, tnc supply dealer, is
quite seriously ill.

Vaughan & Sperry state that it gives
them pleasure to report that the week
of February 11 to 17 was the best in
their history, with the single exception
of Christmas week. It* was even better
than Christmas of 1904.

the belated train that Mr. Washburn
suffered the chill, from which he has not
yet recovered.

George Eeinberg 's Beauties have felt
the sun and are coming in finely. It
doubtless is true, ;'s frequently stated,
that many growers are cutting less stock
this year than usual, but it does not
apply to Mr. Eeinberg.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market

Last week was considered by the
wholesale houses as one of the very best
of the season, stock of every kind having
pold entirely out at excellent prices.
While business is excellent, it is not
quite so brisk this week; the quantity
of flowers coming in town is larger and
prices have fallen off a trifle on some
items on the list. Fancy Beauties are a
shade more plentiful, but the scarcity in
good medium and short Beauties con-
tinues. The finest Beauties brought a
dollar each all last week, a record price
for this season. Tea roses are also more
plentiful, the demand for red being in
excess of other colors. Cattleyas are the
only orchids in the market, except a few
whites. They are very fine. Carnations
are plentiful and of excellent quality,
Violets and sweet peas have been a little
scarcer since St. Valentine's. Freesia is
slowly declining. Bulbous flowers are
plentiful. It is thought that fancy tulips
and dafl'odils will average better returns

for the growers this season than for sev-
eral years.

market last week. W. E. McKissick was
able to handle them advantageously.

Geo. K. Kester, of Cardington, will
remove his greenhouses to Bucks county
this summer.

The Leo Niessen Co. filled an order
for 500 special American Beauty roses on
Thursday of this week. One hundred
orchids also went in this order. This
company is very strong on choice catt-
leyas.

Robert and George Craig have the
sympathy of their friends in the loss of
their mother. Mrs. Craig died last week
in her eighty-eighth year.

Mrs. Lanser, mother of Arthur H. Lan-

Wm. J. Moore has developed a large
trade in carnations, sweet peas and bul-

bous flowers. Mr. Moore requires addi-
tional consignors of good stock to meet
the demands of his business.

Miss Florence Harris, famous from the
beautiful chrysanthemum that bears her
name, was married on St. Valentine's
day. In honor of the occasion, her
father, Wm. K. Harris, gave a collation
to his employees on the day previous.
Mark B. Mills presided and Wm. Mills,
the oldest employee of the firm, acted as
toastmaster. The occasion was a happy
one.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market

Trade for the past week was even
better than anticipated by the local
florists, both retail and wholesale. It
was estimated that over 50,000 violets
were disposed of on St. Valentine's day,
and all other nowers sold well. This
aay seems to be better each year and
may now be counted on as one of the
florists' busy days.

Eoses of all kinds are in great de-
mand and none of the commission houses
is receiving half enough to supply the
call. All consignors report off crop.
American Beauties are very poor, the
bulk of the blooms being deformed.
Carnations, too, have been selling pretty
clean of late, as this stock is not nearly
so plentiful as it has been. Lawson and
Enchantress are extra fine, with top
price at $4 per hundred. Very few good
red carnations are in the market. White
is more plentiful than any ottfer color.

California violets have been cleaning
up every day the p?8t week. Bulbous
stock continues plentiful, with a good
demand in all lines and no advance ^n
prices. All green goods are selling well.

Various Notes.

We have had an unusual number of
visitors the past week. Among them
were A. C. Canfield, Springfield, 111.; L.
A. Barnett, of Eeed & Keller, New
York; H. A. Jones, making his first
trip for Ealph M. Ward & Co., New
lork; J. J. Karins, representing H. A.

The Market.

Business has been on the boom for the
past week. All kinds of flowers have
met with a prompt sale at the regular
prices and they are still going at $6 to
$10 for roses, $2 to $5 for carnations,
it.6 to $4 for valley, 75 cents to $1 for
violets, $3 to $4 for tulips and daffodils.
Sweet peas and pansies are in godd de-
mand at $1 to M'i.50 per hundred.

Various Notes.

The Cleveland Cut Flower Co. re-
ports Valentine's day sales as being
double that of a year ago and impos-
sible to get enough violets to fill orders.

On Friday all the down-town florists
were busy with funeral orders for Mr.
Holden, a prominent young business
man of this city.

F. W. Grifiin has moved into his new
store at 5711 Euclid avenue, almost di-
rectly across the street from his former
place of business, and to say that his
move was for the better would be
placing it very mild. He has spared no
expense to make it one of the finest stores
in the city. His large plate glass ice
box is certainly a beauty. It is cooled
by a new process without the aid of
ice, and a temperature of 45 degrees
can be maintained ^t a very small cost.
His store lease inclufles all the electric
lights that he cares to install at so
small a figure that one can hardly be-

lieve it costs him anything for light; he
certainly is using a lot of it and to very
good advantage. Mr. Griffin caters to
the best of Cleveland's trade and he is
doing a fine business.

At the last meeting of the Florists'
club a vase of the Glendale carnation
was on exhibition an: I was much admired
by those present. The club desires to
tender thanks to W. J cs, M. S. Vesey, of
Fort Wayne, Ind., for their kindness in
sending the flowers. February 26 the
club will have an exhibition of carna-
tions and any other cut flowers or plants
the members or their friends care to
show. A good show and a fine time is
expected.

It is reported that the Essex Green-
houses will make a change in the man-
agement, Messrs. Kennedy and Merri-
man retiring and Mv. Tapper, formerly
of James Eadie, taking charge. C.

ers' and Florists' A^ssociation was held
in St. George's hall February 15, and
was a successful and instructive exliibi-
tioii. Although the quantity of bloom
juay not have been as large as former
years, the quality was certainly all that
coil id be desired and the number of new
varieties of merit testifies to the steady
ailvance of carnation culture. The coveted

in the show. This was won by Aristocrat,
shown by the Chicago Carnation Co.,
which scored eighty-nine j)oints accord-
ing to tlie scoring of Wm. Gainmage, of
London, and A. H. Ewing, of Wood-
stock, who were the .nidges. This is the
tliird time the Chicago Carnation Co.
has won this cnp, and it is now left
our shores for keeps, as after three wins
it becomes the i)roperty of the success-
ful exhibitor. When Mr. Hartshorne
wrote that he would be in Toronto with
the goods, he, in all ))robability, did not
know how close other growers were on
his trail. Aiv Maryland, exhibited by
\Veber & Sons, of Oakland, Md., Win-
sor, exhibited by x*'. R. Pierson, of Tar-
rytown, N. Y., and Alma Ward, ex-
hibited by c;. W. Ward, of Queens, L. I.,
were close competitors, each scoring
eighty-eight points.

Alma Ward is certainly a lieautiful
white, but was scored down on color on
account of liaving a. slight shade of pink
running tlnough some of the blooms.
This technically throws it out of being
a jnire white, but commercially it would
scarcely be noticeable. My Maryland
was scored down on color on practically
the same ground. It is not quite as
lieavy a tloAver as .\lnia Ward, but gives
the impression it would develo]) quickly,
and thus be a free bloomer. Winsor is
a jdeasing shade, lighter than Scott, but
mucli darker than Enchantress. Ts has
good stem and good substance, but lost
on fragrance. Aristocrat is a Very dark
pink, but can har(dy be said to be a
large Hower; it has good bloom, good
substance and good stem. Tt is claimed
to be a very free bloomer, and the aj)-
pearaiice of the flowers wouhl give an
experienced carnation grower that im-
pression.

Mr. Pierson also liad some new varie-
ties which lie exhil>ited in small lots.
Among tliese was White Enchantress.
C. W. Ward also cxliibited Elsa Struss
and Robert Craig. Peter Fisher, of
Ellis. Mass., showed Evangeline and
Beacon. Other exhibitors were: The
Dale Estate, Brampton, carnations; J.
H. Dunlop, Toronto, carnations and
roses; Wm. Fendlev, Brampton, violets;
E. Crowhnrst, Mimico, carnations; Man-
ton Bros., W. Jay & Son, and Exhibition
park, flowering plants and orchids.

Among the out-of-town visitors were
.Tas. Hartsliorne, of the Chicago Carna-
tion Co., Joliet, 111. ; F. R. Pierson, Tar-
rytown, N. Y. ; E. Lutz and C. W. Ward.
Queens, L. I. ; Wm. Gammage, London ;
A. H. Ewing, Woodstock ; J. Morgan
and F. Foster. Hamilton; E. Dale and

W. Feudley, Brampton; Dr. Roe, of the
Georgetown iloral Co., Georgetown.

Various Notes.

Trade during the last two weeks has
not been as good as previously, and
stock has been coming in a little more
plentifully. This may be accounted for
by the large quantity of bulb stock now
coming in, thus cutting down the de-
mand for more expensive flowers. Vio-
lets have been slaughtered to such an
extent in the Toronto market that the
trade in that line has been practically
ruined.

Dunlop 's King street store was visited
by fire last week and, although the
damage was not great, everything was
thoroughly smoked up. The fire origi-
nated in the cellar; cause is not known.

We are informed that the new firm,
Lampert & McArthur, who opened up
ac 275 Yonge street, has dissolved part-
nership. D. J.

MILWAUKEE.

The Market

We have been enjoying a period of
very good business. Stock has not been
in oversupply except bulbous material,
which is, as usual at this season, some-
what too plentiful to bring first-class
prices. Beauties are scarce and all other
roses in demand. There are large re-
ceipts of carnations, but this is the pop-
ular flower and sells out quickly.

Valentine's day brought an unexpect-
ed increase in business. There was more
call for violets than has ever before
been experienced for this ocasion. Other
stock also sold well.

NEW YORK.

The Market

The vagaries of the New York cli-
mate are remarkable. We have had
snow, zero temperature, rain and spring
all within the last seven days, and at
the beginning of the week it is balmy,
building going on as in midsummer, and
Easter less than eight weeks away. The
retail windows are already beautiful
with primroses, acacias, lilacs, snow-
balls, camellias, azaleas and forsythia.
One cannot feel chilly long while stand-
ing in front of these delightful remind-
ers of the fast approaching vernal sea-
son.

Now that Mrs. Longworth has de-
parted on her honeymoon, American
Beauties and white orchids will ' ' go
away back and sit down." The short-
ness of the supply was marked, and all
other first-class rose stock had no diffi-
culty in holding at top quotations.

Old St. Valentine came to life again
this year in fine condition and proved
that sentimentality is not yet dead in
this very practical business center of
the earth. There were dinners innu-
merable. Fine designs appropriate to
the day in silk hearts and baskets were
in the windows and golden sedan chairs
and trunks and fancy concoctions of va-
rious kinds added interest to the day
and were largely used in the sending of
love tokens. Violets seemed to regain
their popularity for the occasion, and
75 cents per hundred was willingly
paid for the best. A car-load or two
was attached to a train headed west
from Rhinebeck, with Chicago as its
destination, we were informed, and this
may account for the sudden spurt.

which was soon over; 60 cents was top
on Monday except for a few specials.

Bulbous stock is a drug. What will
the southern narcissi bring when the
native go now at $10 a thousand? It
was not very long ago that $4 per hun-
dred was the bottom for good stock of
viiis kind. The day of abnormal values
IS forever past.

A movement is on foot to close the
wholesale houses at 6 o'clpck. The ma-
jority already favor it. There seems
i.o good reason for the long hours which
prevail.

Various Notes.

The annual tlinner of the New York
Farmers' Club took place this week
Tuesday, February 20.

Thursday, February 22, Washington 's
birthday, will be celebrated by the
Dutchess County Horticultural Society
at Poughkeepsie, where the annual ban-
quet takes place. This is one of the
events of the year. The best local tal-
ent, including the city officials, always
takes part, and several New Yorkers
will be there.

Arthur Merritt has a large stock of
wreaths and his storehouse is made ar-
tistic by their arrangement. These
wreaths are patented and are novel and
practical, and they will doubtless be in
demand as the season progresses for
outdoor decorative purposes.

Joseph Fenrich will move to 110 W^.
Twenty-eighth street on March 1. The
now store is just beyond that of the vet-
eran, J. K. Allen, and in size and con-
venience is far in advance of Mr. Fen-
rich's old quarters on West Thirtieth
street.

G. T. Schuneman, of Baldwin's, was
in the city last week and made his
usual display of violets at the Ameri-
can Institute exhibition. He has a
sport from Enchantress which he is
keeping dark until next season, of rare
size and not for sale * * even at Aristo-
crat's figure."

Starke & Klein dissolved partnership
on February 14, Mr. Starke continuing
the business at the same address.

Wm. H. Gunther celebrated his forty-
fifth birthday last week. For twenty-
six years he has been in the wholesale
flower business. The years sit lightly

on him. If he could live as many years
as he has sold boxes of violets, Methu-
selah wouldu 't be in it with him.

ty-ninth street,

V, H. Pilat, formerly with the New
York Cut Flower Co., as salesman,, and
now in the growing business on his own
account at Ossining, is shipping superb
carnations and freesia to George Salt-
ford. The freesia has 30-inch stems.
Mr. Saltford calls the supply of yellow
tulips a "flood" and values have gone
as low as $10 a thousand.

Reed & Keller have some more inven-
tions for the coming Faster. It's a
poor week when some convenient and
seductive ''florists' supply" is not
evolved from Mr. Reed s productive
brain,

John Miesem, of Elmhurst, has
been sending grand azaleas to Charles
Millang, just advanced sufficiently fpr
the New York market and of all the
popular varieties. Louis Dupuy, of
Whitestone, is sending his fine stock of
Scottii and Boston ferns to the same
house and Mr. Millang thinks they are
unequaled.

Van Praag has had a unique window
decoration at 1207 Broadway during the
past week, representing an old-fash-
ioned farm, with lake, house, barn and
domestic animals, that kept the crowds
interested. Ed. Ladiges is the artist at
this establishment.

Thorley had a large decoration at the
Royal Palm hotel at Miami, Fla., on
February 5 for one of his New York
customers. McKenney was in charge,
and American Beauties, violets and val-
ley were used profusely, as well as the
home-grown orange blossoms. Thorley
and Small were under the Beauty mar-
ket for the last ten days and together
used everything they could lay hands
on.

The carnation meeting of the Horti-

was a most successful affair. There

has tripled the oven capacity in the
foundry at Irvington. Recently they
have perfected the use of trussing in
greenhouses, doing away with support-
ing posts and heavy purlins. They have
also introduced a new gutter, a decided
innovation, increasing the waterway,
decreasing the shade.

The New Orleans Horticultural So-
ciety had its regular monthly meeting
last week. The attendance was good.
The committee on the Southern Inter-
state Florists' Association made a good
report. Numerous replies to our circu-
lar have been received and the prospect
for a large support is very good. The
reports of the finance committee and of
the secretary on the final settlement of
the last flower show were so encourag-
ing that a proposition was made at once
to prepare another chrysanthemum show
for next falL It will be the main dis-
cussion at our next meeting.

The resignation of John Eblen as
treasurer of the society was read and a
committee appointed to visit him and try
to induce him to keep a position whi<d»
he has so well filled for the last fifteen
years.

The result of the monthly exhibit was,
in the flowering plants: M. M. de La-

nephrolepis varieties: H. Papworth,
first prize with an Elcgantissima; Abele

The Market.

The condition of tiade the past week
has varied somewhat from former re-
ports. Stock has been scarce and nearly
all dealers have experienced more or
less trouble in filling orders. White
and red roses have been the hardest to
find and the demand for them apparently
is heavier than lor pink. Yellow roses
are also very scarce and an inspection
of the different greenhouses will find
but few being grown. The supply of
carnations has about equalled the de-
mand. Tulips, daffodils and valley have
sold very well; in fact, much better than
for some time past, on account of the
scarcity of roses. Easter lilies are
coming in nicely ani help out wonder-
fully for funeral work. Violet sales
have been unusually heavy the past
week.

probably the heaviest ever experienced
in this locality. Ordinarily dealers in
this section do not expect any great
rush and they were all surprised at the
heavy demand. Some retailers state that
their sales on that lay were fully double
what tbey were a year ago. The in-
crease in trade was rot only in the Twin
Cities, but country orders were heavy.

Minneapolif.

The Whitted Floral Co. reports a big
valentine business and an exceptionally
heavy demand for single violets. Bulbous
stock also sold well. They experience a
heavy demand for the Moulton rose.

The Bosary reports a good trade, even
if surrounded by Greeks, who sell at
almost any price.

Donaldson's Glass Block also reports
good sales and one could not but believe
that they are doing a large business
from the appearance of their place.
They seem to be able to keep four clerks
going nicely in that department
. The New York Floral Co. is display-
ing large numbers of carnations and on
a fine day succeeds in disposing of them
to good advantage.

The weather has been very mild, but
not warm enough to permit the street
dealers making any great show; trade,
therefore, has been confined to the flor-
ists, who pay good rents and are justly
entitled to the trade.

St. Paul.

The Swanson Floral Co. has some very
nice violet plants in fancy baskets. Au-
gust Swanson was successful in getting
some fine novelties early in the season.
Their Endicott Arcaile store is also very
attractive.

L. L. May & Co. have had some very
nice show windows of plants in bloom,
which sell well during the mild weather.
They report the demand for violets the
past week the heaviest they have had
for some time. The single varieties seem
to sell a great deal better than the
double. The long distance telephone is
being greatly used by their trade in the
outside towns.

Holm & Olson are always well stocked,
both with flowering plants and cut flow-
ers, and trade is good with them.

The Market

Business has kept up remarkably well
since the new year; in fact, the demand
has been away ahead of home production
for some months past The Baltimore
Florists' Exchange has been unable to
catch up with orders. With its incrca'-^«li
number of new shippers and additional
new glass put up by old consignors thcrtj
is still a shortage.

Prospects are good for an nicrcaso of
roses and carnations, since \-.e are hav-
ing brighter weather. Pnws h.ive ixcpt
up well on all good slock. Freesias, (al-
ias and yellow tulips are tlie only flow-
ers carried over, but ii :i goo'l' mcijy
cases are .bought up when nothing else is
in sight. Smilax is starce and asparagus
is coming in only in limited amounts.

Various Notes.

St. Valentine's day is annually be-
coming more of a feature in the cut
flower business. Violets and red roses
were in big demand and the retailers'
windows were appropriately decorated.

The prize of $10 went to Thomas Pa-
terson for bringing in the largest num-
ber of new members to the Gardeners'
Club during the past year, thirteen be-
ing the lucky number.

The Market.

Conditions are very much improved in
the market. A general cleaning up and
empty ice boxes at the close of business
was the rule all last week and prices
hardened considerably, especially in the
case of carnations. Valentine's day was
one of the best on record for florists.
Violets and carnations were in heavy
demand, while roses and valley were also
in demand. American Beauties continue
very scarce and few of the best grade
are seen. Brides and Maids are a little
more plentiful, but sell well, nothing
going below $4 per hundred and best
quality bringing $2 per dozen. Wellesley
is coming of good quality and sells well,
as does the ever popular Killarney. Lib-
erty and Eichmond are not abundant and
sell slightly higher.

Carnations have brought $4 for best
stock, some making $5. Nothing has
gone below $2 and only poor blooms have
sold at the lower prices. Violets are of
very fine quality. A fair average price
has been 50 cents. Some days as much
as 75 cents is made, especially on Princess
of Wales, which makes a better price
than Campbell. Sweet peas were never
seen of finer quality and vary from 50
cents to $1 per hundred. Easter lilies
are abundant, as are callas, at $8 to $10
per hundred.

Paper White narcissus is practically
done, but plenty of N. poeticus ornatus
comes in. Golden Spur, Emperor and
Horsfieldii are the leading single yellow
daffodils. Princeps does not sell so well.
Prices on these and tulips run from $1.50
to $2. There is a good steady call for
asparagus and adiantum.

Qub Meetins:.

There was a magnificent attendance
on February 20, 130 being present to
hear Robert Cameron speak on his re-
cent trip through Jamaica, Trinidad,
and others of the West Indian Islands.
Mr. Cameron, being a thorough botanist,
as well as a first- ciass practical garden-
er, made his address replete with inter-
est from start to finish and well mer-
ited the warm aplause he received at
its close. He had a collection of 200

large photographs with which to illus-
trate his remarks.

Some discussion took place over the
selection of ueld days, some members
saying they would prefer some other
day than Saturday, it was announced
that the next field day will be held with
W. W. Edgar and Peirce Bros., on or
about March 31. The membership list
was swelled by the addition of twelve
new names.

Exhibits were unusually good and in-
cluded several new larnations not pre-
viously seen, from George B. Anderson.
Montrose Greenhouses exhibited young
rose plants grafted on English Manetti.
Barrows & Son's Nephrolepis Whitmanii
was awarded a report of superior merit.
A shipment of sweet peas from A. C.
Zvolanek did not arrive. A committee
was appointed to arrange classes in land-
scape gardening for the younger mem-
bers and give prizes tor assistant gard-
eners and florists shown at the meetings.

At the March mealing, just preceding
the exhibition of the American Eose So-
ciety, roses will be ine subject, and the
speaker will be Alixander Montgomery,
Jr. It will undoubtedly prove the ban-
ner meeting in the cluD's history. The
annual banquet will be held in April.

Vaiiottt Notes.

Peirce Bros, are handling quantities of
splendid carnations at present. They
made a shipment of 10,000 to Providence
on February 17.

Some of the finest carnations seen at
the Music hall market are coming from
George Hemingway, South Sudbury; H.
A. Stevens Co., John Barr, D. Carmichael
and A. Koper.

McMulkin had a \ery pleasing yellow
window the past week, composed of
genistas, Mahernia odorata, tulips and
narcissi. He is showing some pretty
5-inch pots of Coelogyne cristata well
flowered.

H. T. Capers is handling especially
fine Lilium Harrisii at the Music hall
market for Wm. T. Walke, of Salem.

were present, including twenty-five vis-

of the morning trains and visited the
estates of W. S. Spaulding, W. B.

palms and flowering plants from various
private estates.

MADISON, N. J.

The Morris County Gardeners' and
Florist.s' Society held its second meeting
of the year February 14. It was really
the first so far as business is concerned,
as the first was a meeting of a social
character.

C. H. Totty's paper on the New
Chrysanthemum was the principal event.
Tt was listened to with close attention,
and after it was read, Mr. Totty invited
discussion and criticism, which were
given by Messrs. Herrington, Heeremans
and Vince, but it came out unscathed.

It was decided to make the next meet-
ing carnation night. Many of the best
novelties will be on hand as well as some
vases of standard varieties from our own
members; wo expect much. Mr. Vince
promised a paper on the carnation. Six
new members were elected: Harold
Vyse, Henry Heeremans, Wm. Inglis,
Thomas Stokes, Herbert Entwhistler and
Lincoln Pierson; more new members,
more new ideas and more progress.

It was decided to have the next fall
show November 1 and 2, 1906. This will
give our boys time enough to get in on
the ground floor, and outsiders as well,
for we like immigration at that time.

Replanting: for Second Crop.

Plants that have been bearing all
winter will by this time be pretty well
played out. It doesn't pay to keep them
hanging on for the sske of ripening the
few fruits that may still be hanging on.
The better policy is to throw them out
and replant in time to get a good crop
of the others before the outdoor product
from the southern states becomes too
plentiful in the market to run the price
down. If proper judgment and fore-
thought have been used in the mateer,
good, strong plants will be ready to fill
the place of the others and, now that
the days are longer and brighter, it does
not take them long to get under way.

If the compost in which they were
growing in benches or solid beds is
fairly good it won't be necessary to
change it for the new crop; but where
boxes have been employed, the soil had
better be new, as the roots, having been
confined into small space, are sure to
have taken all the substance out of it

so that the plants would be slow to start
in it and after they have started, even
with feeding, the progress of growth
would not be at all satisfactory. In
the benches or solid beds, where more
soil space has been allowed, the plants
ought to do well enough if the soil is
well broken up and liberally enriched
either with barnyard manure or some
good commercial fertilizer. We find
bone meal about as good for this pur-
pose as anything we have tried.

From this out there should not be a
great deal of trouble with the setting
of fruit, as, with bright weather, the
pollen matiu'es better and can be de-
pended on to dry out so that by shak-
ing the vines it is distributed in suf-
ficient quantity to insure pollination.
Besides, bees and other insects will soon
be on the move and will prove helpful
agencies in the distribution of the pol-
len.

Use of Hydrocyanic Acid Gas.

A good deal has been said lately re-
garding the use of hydrocyanic acid gas
in the destruction of the white fly, often
so troublesome on tomato plants. But
I would just like to say here that we
have used nothing else for the last two
years and that the more we use it the
better we like it. It is surprising how
little of the gas will destroy this fly,
seeing that it is almost impossible to
reach it with anything else. We use
it in the proportion of one ounce of cy-
anide to 2,000 cubic feet of space and
find that it does the work perfectly.
Only when they once get a foothold it is
necessary to apply the gas at least three
times, allowing about one week between
each application. This catches them as
the eggs hatch out. The gas will not de-
stroy the eggs and it takes these about
three weeks to hatch out from the time
they are laid. We always use the gas
in the evening, leaving the house closed
aU night and by morning it is quite safe
to go in the house. We try to reduce
the temperature of the house to as near
60 degrees as possible before generating
the gas. This reduces the danger of in-
jury to the plants, and we also study to
have both the foliage of the plants and
the atmosphere of the house dry.

Montgomery Ward & Co., Chicago,
have put in a Brown packeting ma-
chine.

W. W. Barnard, Chicago, returned to
business on February 19, for the first
titoe after a month's siege with pneu-
monia.

The demand is ".nusually large for
what are termed special stocks of onion,
cabbage, cauliflower, and other mp.rket
gardeners ' seeds.

The Chicago Eose Co., 56 Wabash
avenue, Chicago, will put in a full retail
stock of vegetable and flower seeds,
roses, shrubs, etc.

It is reported that some of the onion
set dealers who have been talking low
prices and an abundant stock are unable
to fill their orders.

Most of the pea growers report I'lat
arrangements for the coming year's
plantings are well under way. The acre-
age is likely to be smaller than last
year.

The Minnesota Seed Co., successor to
Fred Meier, of Sleepy Eye, has removed
to New olm, Minn., and erected a ware-
house for field seeds. Mr. Meier contin-
ues with the company as secretary.

The onion set growers are r«?povted
to be going slow for the coming ye?r.
Louisville reports a short supply of
home grown seed, and seed from outside
does not appeal stroagly ,«> the growers
there.

Seedsmen who handle lily of the valley
pips, especially those who share in the
constantly increasing demand for re-
tarded stock, will be interested in the
letter of E. JSeubert, of Wandsb.'k, Ger-
many, which appears on another i)age
of this issue.

The Templin Co., Caila, O., has issued
an edition of 150,000 catalogues devot-
ed exclusively to collections. There are
thirty-two pages, each page carrying an
oflFer of one collection, the whole em-
bracing a wide range of choice. The
cover is a lithograph, a sweet pea col-
lection on the front, a pansy collection
on the back.

One of the press associations dealing
in "patent insides" is supplying its cus-
tomers with a four-column illustrated
article on "American Seed Growing"
which gives color to the belief that wide
and valuable publicity may be gained
for horticulture through the press bu-
reau of the Nationiil Council of Horti-
culture. An interesting feature of the
article, which evidently had its source
in the Department oi Agriculture at
Washington, is that emphasis is laid on
the fact that the free seed distribution
is *'no scheme of the secretary's but
purely a congressional affair ' ' which
"should be stopped and the work of
supplying the ordinary farm and garden
seeds, the results of which are known to
everybody, left to the regular seeds-
luen. ' '

of all such shipments in the seven Aionths

CALIFORNIA SEED NOTES.

Up to the middle of February the seed
districts of the Santa Clara valley have
had about fifteen or sixteen inches of
rain. About the same amount has fallen
in southern California. While this
amount of rain is satisfactory as far as
the season is advanced, we must still get
several inches more to make a crop. It
is the late spring rains that count the
most in the making of a big yield.

As far as the present crop is con-
cerned, it is a little early in the season
to make any prophecy as to yields. Still,
everytliing 'looks, weil. As a whole the

season is a little backward, owing to the

usual
grow-

fall rains coming rather late,
good, warm spring weather no
everything will catch up.

There seems to be about the
acreage this season, some of the
ers adding to their acreage somewhat,
but as a whole the increase will not
amount to over ten per cent.

The trade has been taught a lesson in
placing the contracts early in the season.
Last fall the harvest proved short on
many items. This was especially true of
the onion seed crop. Many of the grow-
ers are already contracted for their full
acreage as far as onion is concerned,
the high prices being hard to resist.

to the value of $3,347,024, as against
$2,257,085 in 1904.

At the same time we imported seeds
to the total for 1905 of $4,207,739, as
against $3,394,094 for the year 1904.

MORE TROUBLE.

Under date of February 7, but actually
mailed on February ±o, the Secretary of
Agriculture issued Circular JSIo. 15, as
follows:

* ' Seeds of KentuCKy bluegrass and of
orchard grass have been obtained and
tested in accordance with the following
paragraph contained in the act of Con-
gress making appropriations for the De-
partment of Agriculture:

The Secretary of Agriculture Is hereby di-
rected to obtain lu the open market samples of
seeds of grass, clover or alfalfa, test the same,
and If any such seeds are found to be adul-
terated or misbranded, or any seeds of Canaaa
bluegrasa (I'ou eomprcs.sa) are obtained under
any other name than Canada bluegrass or Poa

together with the names of the persons by
whom the seeds were offered for sale.

were found to be adulterated with seed
of Canada bluegrass, wtme 133 samples
of orchard grass seed were found to be
adulterated, the seeds most commonly
used as adulterants being English rye-
grass and meadow fescue, the value of
neither being more ..-*a,n one-third or
one-half that of orchard grass seed.
That the adulteration of orchard grass
is -vei-y general is evidenced by the fadt
that samples containing adulterants were
obtained from twenty-four states.

"While Canaua bluegrass is imported
into the United States in quantities
varying from 600,u00 to 700,000 pounds
per annum, it is used only occasionally
in this country, and it is evident that
the bu^- of the seed imported is sold as
Kentucky bluegrass.

"In accordance w^th the provisions of
the act of Congress quoted, publication
is here made of the names and addresses
of the seedsmen who sold the lots found
to be adulterated, together with the
percentage of adulte 'ation in each lot. ' '

Here follow the names of twenty-three
seedsmen from whom adulterated seed
of Kentucky bluegrass were obtained,
together with the addresses, quantity ex-
amined, percentage of Canada bluegrass,
and totiU adulterants. There are also
the names and addresses of sixty-nine
seedsmen from whom adulterated samples
of orchard grass were procured, with the
percentage of meadow fescue and rye-
grass. The list contains the names of
some of the largest and strongest firms
in the trade. Of course, as in the case
of the previous publication, the excuse
will be offered that the seeds were pur-
chased as offered and that responsibility
for adulteration really belongs to the
earlier hands, but the Secretary aims to
render this excuse futile by the following
paragraph at the bottom of the list:

' ' In order that seedsmen, as well as
farmers, may avoid the purchase of
adulterated seeds, tnis department will
examine and report promptly as to the
presence of adulterants in any samples
of seeds submitted for that purpose."

THE HOLLAND BULB CROP.

Ten hours of snowstorm is all that we
have had in Holland so far this winter,
notwithstanding that the new year
opened with a keen frost and easterly
wind. Mild summer weather has been
prevailing nearly all the time of this
month, accompanied by a more than
ample supply of water and the bulbs in
the ground have had nothing in the
shape of cold to keep them back. Near-
ly all the fields have had to be thinned

to put up with a good dose of winter
weather now, as would not be out of
season, there is no saying what the con-
sequence might be, especially for the
hyacinth crops, which are more tender
than any of the others. It is a matter
of grave doubt to have to quote i)rices
on the results of a crop that may turn
out just as well a complete failure as
a very abundant one.

EUROPEAN SEED NOTES.

The weather continues very open and
no one need be behind with any kind of
outdoor work. The English seed potato
trade is showing a little increasing ac-
tivity, although there appears no pros-
pect of a rise from the abnormally low
prices prevailing. Some years or so
ago our friends in America considerably
relieved the congested state of London
ware markets and it would be a good
thing if some shipments would now be

profitably made to the States. Disease
is very rampant in many sample^ in
spite of the late influx of so-called dis-
ease resisting new varieties. It is sat-
isfactory to note that the variety from
America, Noroton Beauty, is very free
from disease and out of some thirty
new sorts grown by the writer Noroton
Beauty is one of the very few that is
quite untouched by disease or blight of
any sort.

There is a scarcity of palm seeds of the
leading sorts and prices are high in con-
sequence. This is in a great measure a
blessing in disguise, at least to the grow-
ers of decorative palms; it will check the
extensive growing of palms for the large
flower markets. The public taste of late
years has been quite sickened of palms,
especially the everlasting stock sizes of
nice plants in 48 's of kentias. The trade
can very well stand a year or two of
rest from production and would proba-
bly after that revive and be once more
a profitable line for market growers.

There is much talk and probably quite
unnecessary scare regarding the scarcity
of Victoria aster seed. The result of
high prices has soon made itself felt ; the
demand has been quite unhinged and
prices have come down with a rush.
There is reported to have been a certain
quantity of last year's crop of seed on
hand and this has been placed on the
market, but quite apart from this, the
Victoria aster is not an article that will
at any time stand a very high price.
There are plenty other sorts which will
always serve the same purpose. B. J.

NOTES FROM ENGLAND.

The trade for cut bulb bloom has im-
proved somewhat, good cut tulips mak-
ing on an average 6 shillings per dozen
bunches of twelve blooms. Tulips can
be profitably forced at these figures, pro-
' vided no extravagant prices are given for
the bulbs. Daffodils are holding their
prices. Sicily outdoor daffodils and nar-
cissi are arriving in large and daily in-
creasing quantities and are making fairly
good prices.

An unusual feature of the markets this
year has been Dutch spiraea in varieties
in bloom in 5-inch and GVa-inch pots,
nice bushy plants. Of course, the plants
are from* retarded clumps. The line is
somewhat of an experiment and I am
afraid will not prove a financial success.
The spirsea will be an expensive article
to retard, taking up, as it does, too much
space. The spiraea trade has of late
years been so very bad that growers
would probably have done better to have
given it an absolute rest for a few years.
Even at Easter the public is quite sick-
ened of spira?a. Now that we are to
have them practically all the year around
they will be more than ever tired of them.

Quotations of Lilium Harrisii, Ber-
muda grown, are somewhat lower this
year. I have a quotation before me
which is about as low as has been for
some years, but if Hairisii are to be
grown at all in quantity in this country
thoy will need to be still lower. The
retarding of Lilium longifiorum has
quite crippled the trade in Harrisii.
I.»ongiflorum can now be had in bloom
almost all the year round and first-class
retarded bulbs can be had at £7 per 1,000
which is very aiiierent from the prices
asked by Bermuda growers for Harrisii.
Much, however, is still to be learned to
make tho retarding process of Lilium
longiflorum a certain success, although
probable success depends more on tiie
skill with which they are handled by the
grower than by the retarding. In my
travels lately I saw in the south of Lon-
don four fine houses of longiflorums
growing in 6^,4 -inch and 8-inch pots and
they were a perfect lot. The grower
informed me the bulbs cost not more
than £5 per 1,000. A few days later
I came across three houses growing near
Manchester which were a total failure.
The bulbs were planted out in the green-
house border and were miserable speci-
mens, not more than eight to ten inches
high, with hardly a good bloom and many
had quite rotted away. The grower as-
.serted the bulbs cost some £7 per 1,000
and were a magnificent sample when un-

LOBELIAS FROM SEEDS.

Lobelias are so easily raised from
seeds, and give such excellent results iu
the flower garden, that there is really
no need to preserve old plants througli
the winter. A packet of seed will yield
hundreds of plants, and so great is the
vigor of these seedlings thaf they should
be planted out nine inches apart. Em-
peror William is one of the best and
cheapest lobelias in cultivation, and may
be recommended to the grower who wants
a good, free-tlowcring, general utility
lobelia.

Seeds should be sown about the mid-
dle of .January, merely sprinkling them
on the surface of a pan of well-drained,
sandy soil, and covering with nothing
but a square of glass. If the structure
is warm and moist, signs of life should
be seen in about a fortnight, and the
young plants Avill be ready for pricking
off in another three weeks. The glass
«hould be removed when growth com-
mences, and care should be taken not to
water the pan through a can, even if

rosed. Carefully immerse it in a vessel
of water, and allow it to become fairly
dry before repeating the operation.

Pricking off is best performed with
a pointed stick, and it should be done
early, as, however carefully sowing is
done, the seedlings are sure to come up
too thickly. Well drain a number of
pans or boxes, fill them with soil contain-
ing plenty of leaf-mold and sand, finish-
ing off with a layer of sand on the sur-
face. In each of the receptacles make
the necessary number of holes with a
pointed stick, which will ensure the young
plants being one and a half or two
inches apart. Now lift the seedlings care-
fully with the stick, and drop into each of
the holes made, using the stick to make
' the soil firm about its roots. Water with
a fine-rosed can, and stand the pans or
boxes in a warm corner, whete they can
be shaded should strong sunshine show
a desire to get to them.

The spindling growth made by the
plants after this need not alarm the
grower as it is perfectly natural and will
right itself eventually. To assist it in
doing this, and to ensure stocky, bushy
plants, it is well, when the plants are
an inch or so high, to cut them down al-
most to the soil with a pair of scissors.
By deferring this operation until the
plants are stronger, the removed tops
• an be inserted as cuttings and will
readily strike and grow.

Flowers should be snipped off as they
form, and the pans moved to the coolest
part of the house in readiness for trans-
ference to a cold frame. They should
reach this latter shelter by the first week
ill May. and be thoroughly hardened off
by the ond of that month, when they
should bo planted out. — Gardeners'
Magazino.

view, or at least I woukln 't.— E. Hus-

ductor pipe being used. It has run two
years and we have had good results.
Our system is simply a flow and return
around the house, rising gradually from
the boiler to the far end of the house
into an expansion tank of the same ma-
terial; thence back to the boiler. We
used iron pipe from the boiler to the
straight runs, all elbows and tees made
of galvanized iron. Extra care must
be taken in soldering.

Try a Cat.

I have read with much interest of the
troubles related in the last two num-
bers of the Eeviev^ by those who have
had diflSculty in getting rid of rats in
their greenhouses. I had quite an ex-
perience some years ago. At that time
our two carnation houses were literally
overrun with the rodents. They almost
stripped the carnations of buds, strewn
on the benches as if I had sown them
there. We tried all sorts of poisons, in
every shape ana form, but of no avail.
The rats got so daring that they would
eat the buds of a night only a few feet
away from me.

We had been thinking about that old-
fashioned remedy, a cat, but could not
get one at once, but we finally secured
two, with the result that the rats gave
up the battle the same night. The cats
caught one occasionally, but their pres-
ence seemed to keep them away and
though, like the poor, we have them
always with us, they do no more harm,
as we are always provided with a cat.

To keep the cat or cats and get them
tame ro their new suiToundings we give
them a little bread and milk for a few
days and do not allow them to get out
of the houses unul they are thoroughly
familiar with their new abode. The cat
we have now catches quite a few of the
pests and always keeps them at a re-
spectful distance. Had it not been that

this old-fashioned remedy proved a suc-
cess I think I should have been some-
where where wits would be at a pre-
mium, as I was almost bereft of what
little 1 had in that line.

Dipped in Tar.

I dipped my split white cedar posts in
boiling tar, so that every part was cov-
ered. The hemlock planks were treated
the same way, only that I used an old
mop to apply the tar. How many years
longer will these posts and planks last
in greenhouse use than those that are
not painted or tarred at all? A. V.

Muslin Waterproof.

E. B., inquiring February 1, may use
the following formula which is excellent
and keeps the cloth from rotting:

Three pints old pale-colored linseed
oil; one ounce sugar of lead (acetate of
lead) ; four ounces white resin. Grind
the acetate of lead to a paste with a
little of the oil; then add the rest of
the oil and resin. Melt in an iron ket-
tle over a gentle fire. Apply with a
brush while hot. G. A. Belling.

IMPERISHABLE CYPRESS.

When Pharaohs ruled In days of yore
Upon the Nile's historic shore.
It was the custom of the land
To build upon the desert's sand
Great pyramids and towering piles
Where, as In some cathedral's aisles.
The death-struck kings, each by himself
Were laid embalmed upon a shelf.

Kach mummy had his separate place.
With cerements bound round his face,
While o'er his body a winding sheet
In many colls, wound to his feet;
And for each mummy, thus wound about,
A cypress case was hollowed out.

Three thousand years have passed since then.
Yet there they lie — those mummied men.
The mystic drugs, forced In their veins.
Have well repaid th' embalmer's pains.
Shrunk are the muscles, parched the skin.
But no corruption lies within;
And e'en the cases of cypress wood
Time's ravages have all withstood.

No drtigs preserved the cypress case
Or gave the wood th' Immortal place
Held by it' ever since the flood —
And Noah's ark of shlttlm wood,
Its ever.v fibre seems to say —
"Cease, Time! I never will decay."
No storms that blow or winds that beat.
Or winter's cold or summ.r's heat
Can cause the cypress to decay;
It wears, but will not rot away.

NARCISSI AND DAFFODILS.

JNarcissi and daffodils have not proven
a well paying crop when grown for cut
flowers in California for the past few
years. It is but a few seasons ago when
the wholesaler could easily figure on
getting a regulation price for his prod-
uct and, the demand being usually bet-
ter than the supply, bulbous stock of all
kinds was regarded as one of the best
paying ends of the business.

...arcissi of all kinds have made them-
selves greatly at home here and, the cli-
mate seeming to favor their growth, they
have multiplied to such a great extent
that we now have i superabundance of
them. At no time during the present

j season have the Paper White varieties
sold at over Vo cents per hundred stems

i and at the present -writing they can be

' bought at about $2.50 per thousand in
any quantity desired. Daffodils are only
a trifle higher in price and at no time
during the past few weeks have they

J been worth more than $2 per hundred;

j they can be bought now for less than

j half tuat figure. They grow luxuriantly
here and, with our sudden change into
warm weather, they come into blossom
in such profusion there is little oppor-
tunity to market them at remunerative
prices-
Wholesalers who have facilities for
forcing the early varieties of daffodils
have made fair returns, such sorts as
Ard Eigh when brought into bloom in
the early months of the winter easily net-
ting from $4 to $5 per hundred. Nar-
cissi of the white kinds are not forced

j here at all, as they Lave not proven pay-
ing investments. Some of the very late
datlodils are also money makers for
the growers. Emperor has proven to be
well adapted for our purpose.

Narcissi for Thanksgiving.

I have* spoken principally of bulbs
that are allowed to flower naturally
with the advent of rainfall and the be-
ginning of warm weather afterwards,
but if some care is taken and the land
on which the bulbs are growing is not
too valuable, it is possible to bring the

plants into bloom much earlier than is
usually done and this without forcing.
This is easier to accomplish with nar-
cissi than with daffodils and if the
weather is not too .'"rosty a good cutting
can be had at Thanksgiving instead of
the middle of February. The bulbs die
down with us about the middle of April
and are thoroughly dormant by the end
of June. At this time, if it is desired
to transplant the stock, it can be done
with perfect safety provided the bulbs
are not allowed to remain exposed too
long and thereby oecome too much dried
out. They should be allowed to remain
at least two months longer in the
ground, to thoroughly mature and given
a thorough soaking about the niiurJle of
August. The soil can then be spaded
deep between the rows and a socoud wa-
tering be given about two weeks later.
Keep the ground well worked and give
them another thorough soaking not later
than xour weeks afterward and tbfy will
probably require nothing further until
tne fall rains oeg.ii.

In this way a good crop of flowers can
be cut for Thanksgiving and at that
time when there is usually a dearth of
bulbous stock they can be used to ad-
vantage and will prove a very vomiiM<;ra-
tive article. They are sasceptiblo to
frost if very severe but as ws usually
are not troublea in r.hir latitude much be-
fore the first of December [ have found
it possible to get good returns from a
bed of narcissi that if left to rheir
natural growth and allowed to bloom at
the present time did not pay for the
trouble of picking them. G.

The Review would be glad to receive
from nurserymen photographs s^o-vin^
any of the interesting features of their
establishments, or photographs of well-
grown specimen trees or shrubs.

In 1905 the value of nursery stock
imported into the United States was, as
tabulated by the Department of Agri-
culture under the heading plants, trees,
shrubs and vines, $1,574,477 as against
$1,501,521 in 1904.

Early reports of the damage to fruit
buds in western New York are now said
to have been exaggerated. The below
zero cold of early February, following
the 70-degree temperature of late Janu-
ary was naturally looked upon as threat-
ening the safety of the buds.

Canada lias a fruit marks act and the
apple growers of western New York be-
lieve that export business would be much
aided were congress to enact similar leg-
islation for the United States, so that
buyers might know from the marks the
exact grade of the contents ot the pack-
age, r

The diversity of state regulations as
to the interstate shipment of uitisory
stock is so great that an inspection law
expert is almost a necessity at a nursery
doing a large interstate business. The
etforts of the National Associatif.n of
Horticultural Inspectors looking to more
uniform regulations have the hearty sym-
pathy of everyone in the trade.

The increased interest in trees led
many city officials to seek to make known
the names of trees growing in streets
and parks. The United States Forest
Service has devised plans by which its
co-operation may be secured in correctly
identifying the public trees of any com-
munity which may care to call upon it.
There are two ways in which assistance
may be given. Where the work is on a
large scale a representative of the ser-
vice will visit the town and identify the
tree by examination on the spot. In most
cases, however, identification by corre-
spondence will prove entirely adequate.
This will require merely that specimens
be sent to the forest service.

Some of the eastern landscape archi-
tects, whose business is now so great as
to go beyond the possibilities of personal
attention, have solicitors in the Mis-
sissippi valley this winter seeking orders
for plans.

One of the Holland nurserymen en-
closes a card with the catalogues sent to
the American trade requesting a visit
and advising that at the railway station
will be found a cab to convey them free
of charge to the nurseries, an hour's
drive away.

ALABAMA NURSERIES.

W. r. Heikes, of the Huntsville
Wholesale Nurseries, is president of the
Alabama State Horticultural Society. At
its recent meeting he took occasion to
say a good word for the Alabama nur-
series, as follows:

"It should not be overlooked that the
supply of trees needed for planting in
this state can be procured from nurser-
ies within its borders. The nurseries of
Madison county, Alabama, rank with
the best and largest in this country and
it is probable that more trees are grown
in this county than in any other in the
United States, not excepting Monroe
<',ounty. New York, of which Rochester
is the county seat. These nurseries, near
Huntsville, Alabama, ship hundreds of
car loads of trees annually, which are
distributed to all parts of the United
States.

"The remarkable growth of this in-
dustry is largely due to the character
of the soil and climate, which are most
favorable to the production of vigorous.

shapely, well-rooted trees and plants.
The marked increase in the number of
nurseries throughout the state within
the past few years is evidence of the rap-
idly growing demand for trees and
plants, and that the nursery industry is
making notable progress, in keeping with
the trend of the times."

The Weekly Florists' Review*

February 22, 1006.

EMPLOYER AND EMPLOYEE.

The other day the owner of a small
range of glass came into the Beview
office in search of a grower. He said his
man was ' * leaving again ' ' and he need-
ed another right away. He was given
the addresses of a couple of unemployed
gardeners and as he was leaving he was
asked :

"Where did you get that Review
sticking out of your pocket?" We knew
he was not a subscriber,

"Oh! I picked that up around the
market. ' '

"Why don't you give us a dollar and
have the paper sent regularly?"

' ' Not much ! I would not have a trade
paper around the place. ' '

"What do you mean by that? You do
not hesitate to call on the paper when
you want help."

* ' No, but if I had it lying around my
place my men would answer all the
' help wanted ' advertisements every week
and I couldn't keep a grower a fort-
night; but I see it somewhere every
week — and my men do, too, for every
now and then one of them gets a letter
from somebody whose *ad' he has an-
swered. Then I have to come and bother
you to find another in a hurry. ' '

This was all the more interesting from
the fact that the same morning's mail
brought in a letter from a well-known
Indiana grower giving a list of eight
employees and asking that each be sent
the Eeview for 1906. Just the day be-
fore a letter had come from one of the
largest and best-known growers in Mich-
igan as follows:

"Here is a list of our section men.
We think they are all getting the paper,
but if not, please put them all on for
1906 and send us the bill. ' '

And there you have it; one man can
never keep, if he can get, a good grower;
for the employees of the liberal, pro-
gressive, fair-minded men, the seductive
want "ad" has no charms. When you
want to find the ideal employee, as Pat.
O'Mara says, it will be a short hunt if
you can spot an ideal employer.

To my way of thinking, by all odds
the best paper. — H. L. Clapp, Eipon,
Wis.

Hese is a money order for $2; please
send me two copies of the Review after
this. — C. T. GuKNTHEE, Hamburg, N. Y.

Here is a check for $2 for which
please renew our subscription for 1906
and also send the Review to our fore-
man.— E. D. Kaulback & Son, Maiden,

KANSAS CITY.

The Market.

Last week was one of the best of the
season. Prices are still advancing and
the demand shows no abatement. The
fupply continues to be inadequate. A
great many of tne roses are of very
good quality, out anything in the way
•of flowers seems to sell. Carnations
^ire good and continue to bring good
prices. Beauties art* in demand, but
are rather scarce. There is a fair sup-
ply of violets, which find a ready sale,
come handsome lilacs are shown at
Chaeffer's retail store and are the first
we have seen so far.

VariotM Notes.

W. J. Barnes is making an enviable
reputation as a decorator. His business
in this line is increasing rapidly and it
is noticeable that Avherever Mr. Barnes
puts up a decoration once he always gets
the next one. He has had about all
the Avork he could liapdle this, season.
He put up the largest decoration of the
reason last week for one of our leading
•citizens.

P. H. Rushmore, of the Rushmore
Produce Co., at Tulsa, I. T., was here
this week purchasiujj supplies. He con-
•ducts a cut flower store in addition to
the produce business. He says the busi-
ness is good in his locality.

W. A. Bastian says he never saw stock
«o scarce at this season of the year.
They have had to turn down many
•orders on account of not having the
-stock to fill them. The business activity
•does not seem to be confined to Kansas
City as the consignments received from
•other places are falling off.

Ed. Ellsworth has a window full of
■fine araucarias at Geo. M. Kellogg 's.

CINONNATL

The Market

Business has been moving along in a
satisfactory manner and everyone is in
a good humor, consequently. The de-
mand has been general and all kinds of
stock had its share. Bulbous stock
sold better than at any time so far this
year and the price moved up to a very
good figure. George & Allan, our big
bulb growers, were kept busy day and
night and their large plant was kept
cleaned as fast as the blooms were
ready to cut. Koses have been in heavy
demand and the price is stiflE. There is
some mighty good stock to be had. The
wholesale houses are cleaned out as fast
as the stock can be \mpacked. Carna-
tions are the same as roses, and after
the morning rush is over there is none
to be had anywhere. Green goods are
not very plentiful, and are selling well.
Good asparagus is in especially good
demand.

"We are having bright, warm weather
and tne frost is nearly ail out of the
ground. This kind of weather vpill sure-
ly force into bloom a large quantity of
blooms of all kinds and I believe we
can look for a large supply of stock in
a week or so.

Various Notes.

Philip Popp, of Covington, Ky., well
known in this city as the grower of fine
pot-plants, is receiving the congratula-
tions of his many friends. It is occas-
ioned by the announcement that he will
be married shortly to a most estimable
young lady. Miss Martha Holler. The
date for lae wedding has not yet been
announced.

B. P. Critchell has been confined to
his bed for several weeks. He slipped
on the ice and fractured a rib. He is
getting along nicely.

J. A. Peterson has also been on the
sick list.

There was a large fire in our retail
cut flower district the past week. For
some time it looked as if there would be
a great deal of damage done, but owing
to the fast work of the fire department,
the danger was averted. Julius Baer
was the only one to suffer any damage
and that was due to water. The loss was
covered by insurance.

Visitors: Chas. Dietrich, of Mays-
vnle, Ky., and J. T. Herdigen, of Au-
rora, Ind. C. J. Ohmer.

LENOX, MASS.

The twelfth annual banquet of the
Lenox Horticultural Society took place
in the society's rooms, Lenox Town
hall, Saturday evening, February 17.
Seventy-six sat down and partook of an
excellent repast, at tables decorated with
numerous vases of cut flowers, also some
well colored plants of Pandanus Veitchii
and uracaenas, and some well flowered
plants of cyclamen. After the dinner
President Carlquist spoke a few words
of welcome to all present and intro-
duced A. H. Wingett as toastraaster.
The list of toasts is as follows:

The Horticultural Society, responded
to by E. J. Norman, first president of
this society, and E. Jenkins, president
for 1904.

The Town of Lenox, E. Stanley, chair-
man of the board of selectmen.

Florists, F. Howard, Pittsfield.

Cottagers, Eustace Jaques.

The Press, W. Harger.

The Ladies, J. Johnson.

Our Toastmaster, called by President
Carlquist.

The talent of the members was well
represented by A. McConnachie, E. R.
Russell, W. Jack and Thos. Page, who
amused and entertained the company be-
tween the speeches. Letters were read
from our judges for the past year who
we all regretted were unable to attend.
Preceding the dinner a brief business
session was held. /

The next meeting, !^Sarch 3, is carna-
tion night. The society respectfully so-
licits some of the new varieties to be
exhibited that night, so that those mem-
bers who were unable to attend the
Carnation Society's meeting in Boston
will be able to see their respective
merits. Kindly forward same to Geo.
Foulsham, secretary, Lenox, Mass., not
later than Satui'day noon, March 2>-

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

Febbuaby 22, 1906.

NORTHERN TEXAS.

We have had disagreeable weather the
past week. Rain followed by cold
weather has been the rule here lately,
but I am told there will be no more
winter after this month, and then we
can look for genuine spring. Valen-
tine 's day was a red-letter day in this
section, flowers taking the place of
valentines, and reports from this section
indicate a large business in both plants
and cut blooms. Stock is looking well
and although there are some large cuts,
the demand is more than the supply.
Some very fine carnations are being
grown in this section, both in east and
west, as well as in north and south
houses, and with wholly different treat-
ment. First-class stock is being grown
with plants kept on the dry side, and
first-class stock grown with soil the re-
verse; one with liquid manure as a fer-
tilizer, the other with the commercial
article, so it is hard to tell yet which
method will win out. Constant agitation
is bringing results and the demand is in-
creasing, not for quantity as formerly,
but for quality, regardless of price.
What few roses are being grown in this
section are better than expected. Some
very good stock is grown, but the great
majority has proved a failure so far.

Narcissi and bulbous stock on account
of the excessive warm weather the past
few weeks are pushing too fast and it
will be a question whether there will be
any for Easter. The same also is true
of Harrisii. Callas this year are almost
a failure; whether it is the excessive
dampness of the atmosphere, or whether
the fault lies in the bulbs is hard to de-
termine as yet. Some good valley is be-
ing grown and the demand is increasing
satisfactorily. There has been so little
of what is grown" in the north grown
here that customers are not familiar
with it and it will take some time to
convince them that these are good things
to grow. Bedding stock is looking fine
and the indications are for a good trade
in the spring.

Mr. Farley, of Denison, reports good
business the past week in funeral work.

Mr. Munson, of Denison, had a rush
of funeral work last week, there being
three funerals of prominent people there,
and all the available stock to be had was
sold easily.

H. O. Hannah & Son, of Sherman,
had a busy time Valentine's day. They
sold all the stock on hand early in the
day and good prices were realized.

We understand that a new firm will
commence to build a range of houses in
the spring at McKinney. Who the par-
ties are we cannot say at present but ex-
pect to in the next letter.

The Market.

The dealers here, both wholesale and
retail, have just completed a very try-
ing week. Stock of all kinds has been
short and trade has been long. Valen-
tine's day was a wonder and has stirred
the cut tlower people up to a consider-
able extent. They are now predicting
that in a few years Valentine's day will
be competing with Easter, and, instead
of paper hearts with silly verses to ex-
press the tender feeling in their manly
bosoms, the young men will be sending
floral valentines in the shape of boxes
and baskets of flowers; and they may
not be very far wrong, asS this custom
has been steadily growing and last
Wednesday was, in the language of one
of the retailers, "A young Christmas."
'xhe sale of violets was one of the fea-
tures and while all of the stores had
ordered an extra supply, all were sold
out by noon. Among the wholesalers
there was but little of anything to be
had after noon any day the past week.
While it was pleasant for the wholesal-
ers it was trying for the man who had
orders and no stock.

Various Notes.

Arthur Langhari:?, 6f Wheeling, was
in the city attendiiig the wedding of his
brother-in-law last Thursday.

Congratulations are due F. H. West-
hoff, the carnation grower of Dellaven.

Miss Hoffman, the eldest daughter of

Patrick Maier is cutting some very
fine bulb stock in the way of tulips.

H, L. Blind & Bros, had the decora-
tion for the Merchants and Manufac-
turers' Lincoln day banquet at the Hotel
Schenley.

L. I, Neff for a few days before Val-
entine's day had a special window ar-
rangement of floral valentines in the
shape of small baskets. The result was
a surprise even to Mr. Neff.

WASHINGTON.

A Busy Week.

With the sweet perfume of orange
blossoms and roses in the air and myriads
01 Cupid's darts concealed in St. Valen-
tine's boxes of violets, the past week
has served to shed :i halo of sentiment
over business. Of business, the week
was full, and for once even the kickers
seemed to be happ}'. Beginning with
the birthday of tho bride-elect at the
White House, for whom many choice and
costly gifts of flowers were ordered, on
through a great number of social events,
with the wedding as fx climax, there was
a great demand for cut stock of finest
quality. It was fortunate that trade and
weather conditions were favorable for
such a series of events. There was a
good supply of everything at reasonable
prices.

Though the White House wedding was
not a great money-maker for any indir
vidual retailer, what with the cut stock
furnished the landscape department and
the many floral gift3, the aggregate was
considerable. The happiness at the
White House seemed to pervade the
whole city, even to the extent of soften-
ing business rivalry, which here, as else-
where, is keen.

Though not a part of the house deco-
ration, two elegant baskets of flowers
were seen in the east room of the
White House. One was of American
Beauty roses and Boston ferns, the other
of rare orchids, orange blossoms and
A, Farleyense. The former was a ^ft
to the bride from the Honorable Justices
of the United States Supreme court ; the
latter from the Brazilian ambassador.
Both were executed by J. H. Small &
Sons.

The attaches of the British legation
sent, through George H. Cooke, an ele-
gant offering ox Bride and Killamey
roses.

Many fine carnations seen in the White
House were grown by Mr. Dawson, car-
nation grower at the United States propa-
gating gardens.

Fred H. Kramer is now showing Queen
Beatrice roses with stems that rival
iimerican Beauty.

I note with very much regret that in
my account last week of the club's car-
nation show I failed to mention the ex-
hibits of the Cottage Gardens, Queens,
N. Y., and W. J. & M. S. Vesey, Fort
Wayne, Ind. The former sent Kobert
Craig, the latter Glendale, both worthy
of special comment.

Mr. McClements, of Eandolph &
McClements, Pittsburg, Pa., was in the
city during the week. Scottt.

Toadstools vs. Mushrooms

>

Toadstools resemble mashr ooms very closely* Ex-
perts can easily distinguish the difference be-
tween them.

- One*way to tell is by eating them — but this is
rath^ risky.

It is the same way with greenhouse material — it
makes a difference where you get it and the kind
you buy.

Better buy your material from those who have
expeiPience.

Let us demonstrate to you why it will be to your
, interest to use our material. If interested write us.

PEOPLE who know a good thing when they see it, and will take advantage
of the same, must be possessed with good judgment and are generally suc-
cessful. One of/our successful growers has this year taken out 6ooo feet of
wooden gutters, which were only 5 years old, and replaced the same with 6000 feet of
the GAR^^AND IRON GUTTER, this being his fifth annual order.

Our long list of orders of this kind is our best reference. By writing any of
the large growers at Chicago you will confer a favor on the

WE LEFT YOU

last week just after warming up thorough-
ly on the cypress question ; you seemed
only half convinced, so the only thing to
do is to turn the other barrel on you.

Now isn't it after all a pure matter of confidence in a firm ? Suppose you buy your material,
it comes to you painted ; how can you tell what grade that cypress is, if nine-tenths of the men
don't know it when not painted? Here is the way we do it : Some parts of a piece maybe sap free,
these parts we saw out, discard the rest. An average of 20 per cent is thrown out. That's just the
reason our materials cost a bit more than the other fellows, for the same reason, it's the reason why
they last longer.

Don't make the mistake of putting off oi-derlng;
we can't promise agralnst delays If you do.
