The Weekly Florists' Review*

THE YEAR-OLD ROSE PLANTS.

The replanting of rose benchies ig one
of the very consiuerable items of expense
and it is one from which many growers
seek to escape by carrying their stock
more than one year. It was not many
years ago that plants one year on the
benches were unceremoniously dumped
on the ruboish heap, but a -jiier dis-
position 01 them x-as been tound. Credit
must be given to Lewis Ullrich, Tiffin,
O., for showing that the year-old rose
plants could be turned into money. Mr.
Ullrich read a paper oefore his local
■ horticultural society in wn^ch he told
^liow to handle these plants. The result
"was that he has each year sold increas-
ing numbers and others in the trade are
doing likewise. Frequently he is asked
if the plants will endure the winter. His
reply is that at the price they are sold
the purchaser can well afford to replant
each year, for a good showing of bloom
is assured from spring planting. The
South Park Floral Co., New Castle, Ind.,
has taken up the idea and sells by mail
all over the country, securing its or-
<lers by means of liberal advertising in
the general magazines.

ROSE COLUMBIA.

The rose Columbia is the result of a
cross between Bon Silene and President
Carnot. The flowers are large and full
and of a line shade of pink in color,
with a deeper shading in the center. The
keeping quality of the flower is excellent
and it does not fade. The buds are
borne on long, stiff stems, with heavy,
<lark green foliage. It is a strong and
vigorous grower and produces flowers in
abundance during the winter, just like
its parent, Bon Silene. It originated
several years ago with Paul Niehoff, Le-
highton, Pa., who has worked up a large
stock and says it is easy to grow and
does not need a high temperature.

SMALL ROSE HOUSE.

I am about to plant a small house,
18x24, with Bride, Maid, Richmond, and
Killarney roses. The center bench is to
be 6x18, side benches 3x24. My soil is
inclined to be light. I have no old cow
manure, but have plenty of two-year-old
horse manure, and sheep and chicken
manure; also fine bone beal. What
would you advise me to do? How many
plants will it take to plant the house?

The quality of soil can be improved
by an admixture of day, say in the pro-

portion of one to four. In the absence
of cow manure well-decomposed horse
manure is the best substitute. Sheep
manure can also be used, but this would
be of more service if used in the mulch
during winter, or when the plants require
additional feeding. Chicken manure, be-
ing strong and of a very caustic nature,
had better be left out. Bone meal can
safely be added to the compost at plant-
ing time, one 3-inch potful being suffi-
cient at that stage to every bushel of
compost.

The quantity of plants required to fill
the center bench, if planted one foot
apart with a clear margin from the side
boards, would be exactly 108. For side
benches, giving them the same area.

inches wide. This is dividing the house
in a practical manner, and by planting
at the same dii-tance apart, will give a
clear gain of seventy plants — no small
gain in a house of these dimensions.

In order to get full advantage of the
room on side benches, the plants should
be placed in diagonal lines, staggered,
as it is called. In a house of this size
walks of a width of one foot six inches
are ample for all working purposes,

NOTES FROM ENGLAND.

Representatives of Dutch bulb firms
are everywhere in England just now, the
first of May having brought a large num-
ber to our shores. It is very surprising
how so many contrive to get sufficient
orders to make the thing pay, I doubt
whether some of them take enough orders
to pay their expenses. One nursery firm
told me that last year they had 150 calls
from them, and just now he is inter-
viewing them, or, rather, dismissing them,
at the rate of five or six per day. Prices
of all tulip bulbs have been advanced,
in some cases more tha» 100 per cent
over last year. Scarlet Due sells at 36
shillings, Keizerskroon at 45 shillings,
and La Reine at 24 shillings. These are
absolutely prohibitive prices for the mar-
ket forcer to make any profit in the ex-
isting state of the market, and it is
difficult to see why prices are up to the

Rose G}lumbia*

seventy-two plants to each bench would
be required; total, 252.

This arrangement of the benches, how-
ever, is sad waste of planting room,
giving far too much space to walks.
Have two benches twenty-seven inches
wide next the walls and two center beds
each four feet six inches wide. You
will then have three walks each eighteen

extent they are. Certainly growers in
Holland cleaned out their stocks last year
extraordinarily well. Frost has consider-
ably reduced the crop in Holland for the
coming year, but still it is surprising,
considering the bad state of trade in
England, that such prices should be
quoted.

Speaking further of tulips, that fine

10

variety, Keizerskroon, is being used very
largely in England for some really grand
bedding effects, and it is probably the
finest bedding tulip we have. I saw the
other day, in the west of England, this
variety used in conjunction with Yellow
Prince and red polyanthus and an excep-
tionally fine effect was produced. Being
struck with the exceptionally tall growth
of Keizerskroon and dwarf growth of
Yellow Prince, I made inquiries and
found that extra large bulbs of the for-
mer were used, and second-size bulbs of
the latter. They were planted alter-

nately. 'I'ne Keizerskroon gave the bril-
liant red anu yellow effect some two feet
from the ground; the Yellow Prince
gave the bright yellow effect some nine
inches up the stems of the former, while
the polyanthus gave the red ground
effect, and the leaves quite covered the
ground with green. I also learned that
some of tne foliage of the tulips had
been broken off so as to prevent an over-
crowded appearance. The effect Oi the
whole was very pleasing, and well worth
copying by private gardeners and park
people. J. B.

Vases and Veranda Boxes.

Although it is nearly midsummer, yet
such is our climate that it is scarcely
stife to put out tender plants. May 19
coleus outdoors received a chill that made
them shrivel up. The subject I want to
discuss may seem rather late, vases and
veranda boxes, but there will be more
filled after June 1 than before that date.

For years there has been a good deal
of humbug and disappointment connected
with the vases that go to our cemeteries,
many of them to be exposed to the blaz-
ing sun and fierce winds and not always
receiving the best of care. I notice there
is a good deal of sameness in the vases
in our beautiful Forest Lawn, as it is
the only kind of decoration allowed in
this fine cemetery.

It is not easy to introduce much vari-
ety. A white iron vase is filled witli
Nutt geraniums. This is so prevalent
that it has become monotonous. After
all, this sameness is better than a tat-
tered and torn vase, with the so-called
vines blown to shreds, which we call a
mixed vase.

Geraniums for Vases.

First of all you must fill the vase as
your customer desires, but many of these
good people discreetly may be talked
into ordering what you know is best for
the place the vase is to go. If it is a
decidedly shady situation, the geranium
is not the thing, but begonias of the
Vernon type and the tuberous section
make a fine show. In sunny and ex-
posed situations there is no equal to the
zonal geraniums and S. A. Nutt, because
of its healthy growth and free flowering
qualities is one of the very best vari-
eties; that is why its use is overdone.
There are others. Semi-doubles are much
the best because heavy showers do not
spoil their blooms. Beaute Poitevine,
the fine salmon, has every requisite for
such a purpose, and so has the fine pink,
Francis Perkins. John Doyle, a fine
scarlet, is another largely used. Castel-
lane is a grand scarlet, Gloire de France,
a beautiful combination of carmine and
white. La Favorite, a fine white, which
is a very agreeable relief to so much
scarlet and crimson. All of the above
are fine for vases. A fine pink for pots,
Jean Viaud is of little use either as a
bedder or for vases. In the former it
goes all to foliage without flower and
in the vase it starves to death.

If you will analyze the plants in a

mixed vase you will find you could not
buy the plants at wholesale prices and
get your money back, but this is not the
case when it is all filled with 4-inch
geraniums. You will get at least $2 a
dozen for them, none too much for the
labor, soil and moss used and the cart-
ing.

Vines for Vases.

Now a word about the vines. With a
very few exceptions they are very dis-
appointing. They may be pretty and at-
tractive when they leave the greenhouse,
but a month later they look like a
farmer's whiskers as shown on the
*' funny" page of the Sunday paper.

There is considerable variety in the
plants that are used on the edges of
vases. I have more than once mentioned
them, but I know of none that will en-
dure the drying winds and more or less
neglect, except English ivy and Vinca
major. The true ivy will be there all
summer, just, as you put it in, but the
vinca is the more graceful. The varie-
gated forrii is the favorite with most
people and, if associated with pink
geraniums, is to be preferred, but with
the crimson and scarlet geraniums, the
stronger growing green form, which I
think is known as Harrisonii, is much
better.

Miscellaneous MateriaL

Many people insist on a center plant
of more height than the geraniums, and
for this purpose there is one plant pre-
eminent, Dracaena indivisa. It not only
lives under these unfavorable conditions,
but actually grows and improves.

A few people, who are carried away
with the idea that they musii have a
drooping plant around the edge, will be
satisfied with a row of the little, com-
pact Mme. Salleroi or Abutilon Savitzii,
It looks well and will always be neat and
thriving.

There are a few other plants that can
be used alone in a vase, particularly if
it is of generous size. Dwarf, free-flow-
ering cannas and Caladium esculentum
make an agreeable change, or even a
mass of one variety of coleus is pleasing.
A single small specimen palm is a great
relief to the eye among so much color,
but most of your palms are unsuited for
the purpose. The phoenix is the best, for
it takes a lot of neglect to burn it.

Many people look upon these grounds
as melancholy places, but the writer does
not, and no one should. A cemetery

should be as beautiful as our best parks,
and if we could abolish the headstones
and iron vases they would be. Make
them beautiful gardens, keeping as near
to nature as is possible and with as little
of the artificial as is consistent with the

use.

Veranda Boxes.

Now the veranda box conditions are
entirely different. They usually receive
faithful care. In many cases there is
some shade from the lovely and patient
trees and ,a host of plants that starve to
death in a cemetery vase will thrive in
a veranda box. "We heard last summer
a good deal from some trade journals
about window boxes in our large cities,
and we read from the travels of globe-
trotters of some continental European
cities where streets would be bare and
hideous if it were not for the wealth of
flowers cultivated in window boxes and
converting the narrow streets into bowers
of beauty, or at least of blossom.

This may be all right in a street where
the inhamtants can indulge in no other
kind of ornamental gardening, but where
the residence stands back fifty to 100 feet
and there is a beautiful lawn and flower-
ing shrubs surrounding the house, boxes
of flowers at every window would look
very much out of place. You can over-
do the use of flowers, as you can jewelry,
perfume or highballs, not to mention the
wretched coffin nails called cigarettes.

Buffalo for forty years took the lead
in veranda boxes, many people having
100 lineal feet of this style of garden-
ing, and it made many of our residence
streets most beautiful. Nearly every
plant that is used in flower gardening
will do for veraiida boxes, dwarf cannas,
caladiums, fuchsias, geraniums, coleus,
acalypha and, above all, a good sprinkling
of the Boston fern. So good is this pop-
ular fern for the purpose that last year
we filled several long boxes entirely with
it, but only in exceptional cases do we
recommend filling with one kind of
plant.

Drooping Plants Needed.

Now, the chief beauty of veranda
boxes is in the drooping plants, which
should entirely obscure the face of the
box. Here, where watering can be at-
tended to daily, there is a great variety
of material to choose from, for they are
seldom exposed to sun and wind, as are
the vases in bleak sections of cemeteries.
The ivy geranium, senecio, lobelia, nas-
turtium, the money vine, variegated gle-
choma, vincas and many others are good.
We once, years ago, grew two drooping
vines that were splendid for this purpose,
but indifference or neglect let them die
out. The first was Pilogyne suavis and
the other was Ipomsea Mortonii. They
each made a perfect veil of greenery.

Build Cypress Boxes.

This business has taken a decided drop
with us in this city, and largely because
the boxes made of pine a dozen years ago
have decayed, and the owners do not care
to have new ones made. It is not a case
of avoiding expense, but the old man
grunts when Henrietta says, "Alphonse,
our veranda boxes are worn out." He
replies, ' ' Oh, let them slide ; don 't bother
about them this year," forgetting that
this inexpensive embellishment has made
our avenues famous for their beauty.
We did not know enough years ago to
have these boxes made of cypress; if we
had, they still would be with us and we
should be reaping the benefit of their
endurance.

TheWcckly Florists' Review.

Bed of Canna Souvenir de Antoine Crozy Edged with Pennisetiim Longiitylum.

A good size for a box is ten inches
wide at the top, nine inches at the bot-
tom and six inches deep, with several
augur holes in the bottom to afford a
drainage. Have tnem made in six-foot
lengths, so that they can be handled by
two men and can be filled at the green-
house. Such a box, painted dark green,
or the same color as the veranda, is worth
about 35 cents per lineal foot. The fill-
ing may vary according to quality, but
a fair price is 75 cents per foot.

1 meant to add in connection with
cemetery talk that too many people
think it essential that their iron vase
must be painted white, and this adds to
the monotonous glare of scarlet and
white. There should be more dark green,
drab or stone color. They soil and show
much less rust than when white, and it
is a pleasant change to the everlasting
white now so generally used.

Filliag the Vases.

You should not fill these boxes or
vases and let them stand in a green-
house, for they quickly make a forced
growth, which suffers greatly when ex-
posed to outside elements. Fill them in
your back yard and, after one thorough
watering and time allowed to settle and
dry, ship them off to their destination.

The last word is — remember that after
they make roots they will not have a
seventh of the space in which to grow
that plants have in a sensibly planted
flower bed, and therefore not only should
the soil be fresh and good, but in addi-
tion to a fourth of animal manure you
should add a quart of bone meal to every
bushel of soil.

Unreasonable people, and that means
the great majority, especially the dear
ladies, expect a verandr- box to look as
full and blooming on the day it arrives
as on the first day of August, so it is
necessary that you put in the plants
twice as thick as they should be and a

crowding takes place later, when thin-
ning out must be done. Instruct your
patrons on this point if you want a con-
tinuance of their patronage.

William Scott.

PENNISETUM FOR EDGING.

For the edging of beds of many mod-
erately tall-growing plants there is no
better material than the pennisetum. It
is now late for growing one's own stock,
but all dealers in herbaceous plants will
supply the two common varieties at a
price which makes them not expensive.
The name comes from penna, a feather,
and seta, a bristle, and is aptly descrip-
tive, for at a distance the euect is
feather-like, while the spike is composed
of bearded bristles. P. longistylum is,
perhaps, the finest grass commonly grown
for its flowers. At Lincoln park, Chi-
cago, each season P. longistylum is used
to very good effect as edging for beds of
cannas.

The propagation of the pennisetum is
very simple. Take up three or four
clumps in the fall, trim off the foliage,
etc., place in a box and set them under
the bench in a house with a tempera-
ture of 40 or 45 degrees. In Marcb
shake out the soil, tear the clumps to
pieces and pot the 'pieces in a 3-inch or
4-inch pot. They are then placed in a
house with a temperature of 60 degrees
and an even moisture maintained. They
make plants in a short time and are
bedded out the latter part of May or
early in June.

The plants can also be grown from
seed, but the above method makes plants
quicker. To start a stock seed could be
used. Early sowing is always necessary
in order to get a showing before the
season is over. The old plants may be
taken up and wintered anywhere that
frost is not admitted. In the spring
some growers divide into pieces for a
3-in('li pot, set in flats of soil in a

greenhouse to start growth, then pot,
later move to a cold frame and they have
less need for care and an earlier showing.

THE BUILDING BOOM.

Referring to recent comments on the
extent of this year's boom in greenhouse
building, A. Dietsch Co., Chicago, through
Carl Ickes, supplies some interesting par-
ticulars. The increase in their business
the present season has been much the
greatest in the history of the concern,
which was one of the first in the west to
take up the supplying of greenhouse ma-
terial. Years ago Mr. Dietsch did a gen-
eral milling business in what was then
the outskirts of Chicago. He supplied
all sorts of lumber milled for all sorts
of uses. Nothing was more natural than
that, when greenhouse building began
north of Chicago, he should be called on
for roof material. It was not long be-
fore this became the principal depart-
ment of the business. Mr. Dietsch al-
ways has enjoyed the full confidence of
the largest growers for the Chicago mar-
ket and Mr. Ickes says that it is be-
cause three or four of them are building
big ranges that their business shows such
a phenomenal increase this year. He
has special reference to Budlong and the
Reinbergs, but their largest order, for
material for a plant of 110,400 square
feet of glass, came from a concern in
Ohio.

Up to May 12 the season's orders to-
taled 166 greenhouses of varying dimen-
sions. Of these all but sixteen houses
had been shipped and quite a number
were up and planted. Of these 150
houses Mr. Ickes figured that the aver-
age width was twenty-one feet two inches
and the average length 171 feet three
inches. However, of the total, 7,208 lineal
feet wrere of their patent short-roof con-
struction, which considerably reduces the
average width. These short-roof houses
average 144 feet in length. They find

12

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

Mat 24, 1906.

that for wide houses the width of twenty-
seven feet is preferred, with bars four-
teen feet long for the slope to the south
and sixteen feet to the north. Besides
these houses structures twenty feet wide
seem to be the next in favor, although
of course all widths occur. The height
of the gutter ranges from six feet six
inches to seven feet six inches, although
in some cases the gutters are set higher
and in others lower. About eighty-five
per cent of all the houses run east and
west, with the shorter slope to the south.
For north and south houses the even span
is in the majority.

In regard to ventilation, the majority

of florists prefer to hinge the ventilators
below, to the header. The wide houses
have the ventilators laid on both slopes,
especially if they are intended for rose
growing, while on narrower houses they
mostly are laid on one slope, and, if
there is a block of them, alternately on
one si^e for one house and on the other
for the next one.

Quite a number of the features of the
Dietsch construction are covered by pat-
ent and on May 8 another was added,
as on that date Mr. Ickes was allowed a
patent for a metal strip to be used in
connection with greenhouse gutters and
plates to prevent breaking of glass.

CARNATION INOTES.-WEST.

Cultivatiae and Watering.

I have always contended that it is
folly to water carnations in the field
after they once get a fair start, even
though the season may be quite dry.
Experience has taught us that plants
grown rather dry and slowly are in
much better shape for transplanting
than those that have an abundance of
water all through the season. By this
I do not mean that the plants can go
without rain entirely, but 1 claim that if
cultivated properly the plants will thrive
and produce excellent plants with much
less rain than most growers imagine,
and a very few good, soaking rains will
suffice for the outdoor season. The culti-
vating must be thorough and frequent,
however. "We cultivate just as soon after
each rain as the soil can be worked satis-
factorily, and if it does not rain for a
week we go over them again. So they
are cultivated at least once each week,
and in some instances oftener.

Every grower knows the wisdom in
keeping the surface of the soil on his
benches loosened up, or the value of a
mulch of loose material to keep in mois-
ture. Just so in the field. When the
hot sun beats down and draws the mois-
ture out of the ground a layer of loose
soil will help wonderfully to hold the
moisture. No doubt you have noticed
how quickly the soil dries out and bakes
after a rain if it is not loosened up. That
is not the only time the soil will bake,
however. You will notice that even if
the soil appears dry after the sun beats
down on it several days, it forms a crust
on top, perhaps on account of the dew,
and in time it will bake just as it does
after a rain. The soil should never be
allowed to get into such a condition, as
it is very injurious to the plants, often
burning the foliage, and several good,
soaking rains are required to put the
soil into proper condition again. Fre-
quent cultivating will prevent all this,
the more frequent the better.

This spring we have found it neces-
sary to lay a water pipe out to the car-
nation field and do some watering. On
May 18 we had our first rain in over two
weeks, and the ground was getting very
dry in places. Those plants that were
set out before the previous rain took hold

nicely and are growing finely, but those
that had no water after having been set
out began to suffer after about ten days
of drouth. A good watering from the
hose of course did them a world of good,
but the rain was of much greater value.

In a case of this kind, of course, it
would be foolish to sit by and let the
plants dry up. A watering, whether it is
in the shape of rain or from the hose,
is necessary to settle the soil around the
roots, just as it is when you plant on
your benches or in pots. We do not ex-
pect to water these plants any more, how-
ever.

When you water be sure it is heavy
enough to go through the dry soil. A
light watering will do very little good,
as the sun will soon draw it out of the
soil, and it will have to be repeated fre-
quently to do any good at all. A thor-
ough soaking and then cultivation as
soon as the ground is fit is the proper
way. In that way it will do almost as
much good as a rain.

A good rain, however, beats all the
watering you can do. Not because rain
water is any better than any other, but
because when it rains, the atmosphere
becomes moisture-laden and the moisture
is not drawn from the soil as quickly as
it is when the atmosphere is dry and the
sun is beating down. A half-inch of
rain is better than an inch of water from
the hose on a hot day. So do not resort
to watering except to get your plants
started or very extreme cases of drouth,
but keep the cultivator going, and de-
pend on it to keep your soil in good con-
dition. A. F. J. Baur.

PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED.

[The Culture of Water Lilies and Aquatic
Plants, by Peter Henderson & Co.]

The latest of the many special publica-
tions of Peter Henderson & Co. is a re-
vised edition of "The Culture of Water
Lilies and Aquatic Plants." It is a
handsomely printed pamphlet of forty-
four pages and contains excellent chap-
ters on the several phases of water
gardening, including instructions tor the
making of water gardens and the selec-
tion of stock for such purposes. There
are a number of pages devoted to de-
scriptive lists of varieties and also a
chapter on raising water lilies from seed.
The book is freely and handsomely illus-
trated. The commercial side is repre-
sented only by a couple of pages of index
and price list at the back.

THE MAGNOLIA.

The first flowers of spring are always
in demand, and every florist who handles
flowering trees and shrubs has many calls
for those earliest to bloom. Of these
none is more attractive than Magnolia
Yulan, usually known as Magnolia con-
spicua. It is among the first to flower,
its large, white blooms expanding before
other subjects have shown bud and, in
fact, before its own leaves have started.

Wilhelm Miller, in the Gardening Mag-
azine, writes: "Imagine a symmetrical
tree 20x20 feet evenly laden throughout
with thousands of these white chalices
that turn to stars just before the flowers
drop their petals and make a snow bank
on the lawn. Nothing purer or sweeter
can be imagined, but it is a little cold
for the time of year. The first flowers of
spring are pallid. Who can make red
blood in the marble cheek of this
flower?"

The accompanying illustration is from
a photograph taken in April at Garfield
park, Chicago. The ever-increasing num-
ber of florists who handle hardy flower-
ing stock at a profit will find a plant of
this magnolia on their home grounds the
means of bringing them a large number
of orders for it.

FLOWERING TREES AND SHRUBS.

[A paper read before the Morris County Gar-
deners' and Florists' Society, Madison, N. J.,
on May 9, 1906, by Arthur Herrlngton.]

The floral story of the year, as we read

it in successive chapters contributed by
the flowering trees and shrubs, is one of
rich and fascinating beauty. "Age can
not wither nor custom stale ' ' this infinite
variety of beautiful life which contrib-
utes so much to the joy of living, espe-
cially just at this time, when vegetation
awakes from its long winter sleep and
bursts into glowing masses of brilliant
bloom.

Almost every country has its character-
istic features of vegetation, but the floral
feature that most impresses me in Amer-
ican gardens is the lavish profuseness
with which our flowering trees and shruus
enwreath themselves in blossom every
year. You must have remarked and no-
ticed it, and appreciated the enhanced
beauty of many things that we have
known all our lives, but only in latter
years under American associations.

Let me cite but one instance — that of
the glowing yellow Forsythia suspensa.
It has been a familiar shrub to me since
boyhood days and there comes back to
me recollections of benumbed fingers
training and tying the shoots to garden
walls on cold winter days, and then the
subsequent flowering; but what was the
result and what the display in com-
parison with that of the same shrub
grown here without special care.

Forsythia in Flower.

As I write these notes I look out of
the window, and two miles away I can
easily distinguish a mass of forsythia
in flower upon a hillside, and what is
there to compare with it? — and at so
early a date when even green leaves exist
only in tender, budding embryos. For
equal effect in color I can only recail
one thing — a mass of yellow broom, or of
furze, as they grow on dry slopes in
England, but these are not hardy here.
What the forsythia so fittingly exempli-
fies is further and frequently expressed
by other shrubs that succeed it in times
of blooming.

The importance of these things should
not be lost to us, because they are com-

Dion, cheap, easily-grown, hardy shrubs.
This precious heritage of bloom, with
which we are so richly endowed, should
be an incentive to effort to give its full-
est expression in every possible way ; for,
I am sure, given area and scope, we
may, with hardy flowering trees and
shrubs alone, make gardens and parks
of surprising beauty equaled by few, and
excelled by none in any country.

Modern Gardens.

Why should we spend time and money
in endeavoring to produce at the best,
weak imitations of so-called Italian gar-
dens, under conditions and environments
to which they are not fitted? These an-
cient and overpraised formal gardens
belong to a past age and generation,
where art supplanted nature because the
rich storehouse of nature was unknown
to the men of those times. Travel and
research have brought to us from all
parts of the globe, and latter day
hybridization has further amplified, a
%vealth of material that does not har-
monize with garden formalism, but does
permit the creation of a succession of
pictures, changing with the days and
weeks, for a long continued period. Let
the garden unfold the story of the year
and be a living floral calendar; so that
if, perchance, we could be unmindful of,
or forget, the actual period, we may
read it in the floral pictures as they
appear.

We will noAV pass in brief review the
hosts of flowering trees and shrubs that
our gardens should possess, at least in
such part as they are adapted therefor.

One of the earliest harbingers of
spring among the shrubs is the little
Ijonicera fragrantissima, its flowers in-
dividually small and insignificant, so
much so that generally the first intima-
tion we have of its flowering is when
we catch a whiff of its fragrant breath
upon the air. It makes a large bush
and early flowering and delicate fra-
grance are its particular attributes.

Varieties of Forsythia.

The forsythias come next, and no
words of praise can ever exaggerate
the beauty of these. Individually or
in a mass, in any soil, aspect or situa-
tion, they give us beauty of the highest
type. The oldest and best-known va-
riety is Fortunei. Although the cata-
logues make mention of F. interhiedia
and F. suspensa, the difference in these
is but slight. Forsythia viridissima, how-
ever, has more marked distinction in
habit of growth, size of leaf, color of
bark, and also is about a week later in
time of flowering.

Simultaneously with the foregoing,
magnolias burst suddenly into bloom,
and what an array of beauty they can
give us! The entire family in scope
and importance justifies an essay on it
alone. First comes the graceful M.
stellata, also known as M. Halleana, and
how free it always blooms from an in-
fant bush, three feet or less in height
upwards, bearing myriads of fragile,
snow-white flowers, often sadly buffeted
by cold spring storms, yet we could ill
dispense with its short-lived display.
Another magnolia that resembles it in
some degree, but is rather shy-blooming,
yet, withal, one to have in any collection,
is M. Kobus, or Thurberi.

Next comes the Yulan (M. conspicua),
throwing its great white cups open to
the spring sun; and a few days after
it, the gem of the whole family — M. Sou-
langeana. This is of hybrid origin, the

i- ■

Magnolia Youlan at Garfield Park, Chicago.

Yulan one of its parents, M. obovata
the other. It shows characteristics of
both plants, flowers abundantly when
young and in a shrubby state, and still
more aoundantly when it ultimately
reaches the dimensions of a good-sized
tree.

The Best Magnolia.

To him who is so unfortunate that
he can have only one magnolia, this is
the one he should plant. M. speciosa is
another hybrid with some strong resem-
blance to the preceding kind, differing
chiefly in its free-branched symmetry of
growth, having flowers not quite so large,
and it flowers a few days later, while
stray flowers prolong its blooming till
foliage is well developed. M. Lennei is
a striking beauty and, unlike all the
others, its great, cup-shaped flowers are
a rich, claret color externally, the flowers
heavy and listing, and their period of
duration and production considerably
prolonged.

Then in the later weeks come other
great magnolias that attain to tree form,
but time does not permit of enlarging
upon these. The snowy mespilus and
Amelanchier Botryapium are also gems
of early spring days that enwreath them-
selves in garlands of fleecy white bloom.
The season advances and the Judas tree
next commands attention by the strong
tone of color it adds to the ever-chang-
ing scene. Cercis Canadensis we call it
by name, but how shall we fittingly ex-
press in words its exceeding beauty and
lavish profusion — ^twigs, thick branches,
aye, and often the main trunk itself,
covered with clusters of purple bloom!
Cercis Japonica, a Japanese relative, is
also distinct and showy, having large

fiowers; but in our latitude, winter often
kills it, so it is rarely seen to advantage.

Spiraeas.

Next in the procession come the
spirroas; the first of this great family,
of which there are at least two dozen
species, is the double-flowered plum-
leaved Spiraea prunifolia. It ranks as
one of our very best flowering shrubs, so
profuse and lasting is its bloom. S.
Thunbergii blooms at tlie same time, has
tiny flowers, but in such myriads that a
mass of it viewed from a distance sug-
gests a snowbank that has not yet dis-
appeared in spite of the spring sun. S.
Reevesiana, single and d(,uble, is a good
species, while j. little later in its i.wn
time of blooming. S. Van Houttei is
easily the most graceful and most at-
tractive flowering shrub of its time.
Others follow in succession on through
the months of June and July.

Another great family that, by close
relationship, suggests itself for asso-
ciated planting, contains the almond,
peach, plum, cherry, apple and the
Japanese quince. Think of the possibili-
ties of these alone for making a garden
picture of incomparable beauty! "Space
prohibits enlarging upon at least a hun-
dred varieties included in this great
group. Unfortunately, in latter days
we are to be denied much of their beauty
unless by persistent spraying we shall
eventually get the upper hand to the
extent of entirely exterminating the
devastating San Jose scale. Bear this
fact in mind in your planting: all these
ornamental tj-pes of that great natural
order that gives us our orchard fruits,
are susceptible to attack and quick ex-
termination by the aforementioned pest.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

May 24, 1006.

Fortunately, most of the other families
of blooming shrubs are immune, other-
wise the outlook for tree and shrub life
in parks and gardens would be a dreary
one.

The Later Blooms.

As May declines and June arrives, new
liosts come trooping on the scene. Think
of the dogwood and try to express the
joy and admiration it excites in you.
Then there is lilac time, always a well-
remembered period of the year, even in
the old days when we had only the few
natural species. Now, thanks to the
hybridizers' skill, we have varieties
galore of a quality undreamed of not so
many years ago, in single and double
flowers, larger individually, gigantic in
the cluster, and the range of color a
phenomenal one from white through ten-
der pinks and exquisite blues to deep,
dark, purplish red.

In graceful, delicate contrast to great
masses of lilac, we have the snowdrop
tree (Halesia tetraptera and H. diptera),
with myriads of white bells depending
from their far-flung branches. Phila-
delphus and deutzia are two more im-
portant families and if we want relief
from so much of snowy whiteness as
seen in these, we turn to the weigelas in
variety of hue from pink to crimson.
The viburnums, too, impress their im-
portance on us, and the wild roses we
mast have in their season, such species
as rugosa, lucida, setigera, multiflora
and Wichuriana.

The mention of our rhododendrons.

Gue and Attention*

A few words in conclusion may be
said as to care and attention. In all
gardening practice there is nothing that
gives so large a return at a minimum of
cost at all comparable with flovvering
shrubs. They can all be easily and
cheaply procured and planted with as-
surance of future satisfaction. The
autumn manths are the best for planting
with few exceptions, one of the most
noteworthy being the magnolias, which,
owing to peculiar conditions of roots,
should always be planted in spring.

The only actual important factor in
subsequent treatment is the judicious
use of the pruning-knife, and, judging
from what one daily sees in many places,
this matter is not properly understood.
Indiscriminate winter pruning often re-
sults in cutting away one-half or more
of the flowering wood. Some pruning is
necessary for many of the subjects
enumerated, but no hard and fast rule
can be laid dowta. Generally speaking,
however, there should be less winter and
more summer pruning. No shrubs that
flower in spring upon the wood of the
previous season's growth (and these are
the majority) should be winter-pruned.
The opposite is equally true. Any shrubs
that flower upon the current season 's
growth may be winter pruned. As for
example, the althaeas, or tree mallows,
and the hydrangeas.

The bulk of the flowering shrubs, how-
ever, should be pruned immediately after
flowering, such pruning to be the proper

good flowering wood for another year, and
preserves that all-essential individuality

effective disposition of them in any gen-
eral planting scheme.

OBITUARY.

Frank B. Smith.

Frank B. Smith died at his home in
Koselawn, Danville, 111., on May 13, of
Bright 's disease.

Several months ago he suffered a se-
vere illness, but became much improved
in health and able to attend to business.
On May 11 he became ill while directing
work in the field and was assisted to the
house. After that his condition grew
worse rapidly. He was unconscious
Saturday and Sunday and the death sum-
mons came Sunday evening at 7 1'M)
o 'clock.

I Deceased was the son of the late
Joseph Smith, a veteran miller. He was
born in New York fifty-nine years ago

I and came west with his parents when a
child. He was educateu at Stockwell,
Ind. He then came to Myersville, where
he and his father conducted a mill for
a number of years. In 1875 he removed
to Danville and for a number of years
owned a half-interest in me old mill on
Logan avenue. This he sold anu pur-
chased a farm. He engaged in farming
and gardening, then built greenhouses
and since 1885 had been a florist. He
was also well known as a chicken fancier.
Most of uis time the past two years was
devoted to the raising of fine chickens,
the flower ousiness being looked after by
his sons, Joseph J. and Herbert E., who

, will continue the business under the name
of Frank B. Smith's Sons.

Deceased had been a member of Kini-
ber Methodint church for years and was
a member of the K. of P. and the Court
of Honor. Mr. Smith is survived by his
wife and four children, Raymond D.,
Joseph J., Herbert E., and Mrs. John
Lee.

George H. Rowden.

George H. Rowden, of Wallingford,
Conn., died May 18 at the age of 66.
He had been in poor health for some
time, but was consider'-d to be improv-
ing. Last Friday, however, he was heard
to fall to the floor, and was dead soon
after the arrival of the physician.

Mr. Rowden was born in England. He
spent a large part of his life as a land-
scape gardener, and was employed by
Edward Miller, Sr., of .Meriden, in that
capacity for twelve years. He was in
the flojist business for twenty-five years,
and conducted a store in Wallingford
at the time of his death.

Deceased was an Odd Fellow and a
member of the Royal Arcanum. He
leaves a widow, three daughters and a
son, "William, who was associated with
him in the business.

William J. Schray.

William Jacob Schray, who died in
St. Louis on Tuesday, May 15, as re-
ported in the Review of last week, was
born March 7, 1834, in Wiirtemberg, Ger-
many. He served as an apprentice in
the business of gardener in Stuttgart,
Germany, city of Munich and other parts
of Bavaria until 1852. When he came to
St. Louis, in 1855, he became landscape
gardener to the late Henry Shaw, who
founded the Missouri Botanic Garden, in
which capacity he served two years. In
1857 he established himself in the florist
business, which grew to one of the larg-
est in the city. He was numbered among
the pioneer German-American residents in
the city and widely known among his fel-
low countrymen and justly esteemed by all

classes. He served one year as park com-
missioner and aided in beautifying the
city, as well as in the ornamentation of
private grounds and stocking private
conservatories. The funeral took place
Friday afternoon, May 18, from his late
residence, and was largely attended, fifty
members of the St. Louis Florists' Club
being present to pay their last respects
to a fellow member. The floral designs
were many and beautiful. Mr. Schray
was married forty-nine years and leaves
a wife and two sons, Emil and Julius.
A host of friends in the trade mourn
his loss. His two sons will continue the
business at the old stand. J. J. B.

Anthony Cook.

' ' Early to bed, early to rise, makes a
man healthy, wealthy and wise." It did
all those for Anthony Cook, who lived
the simple life to the age of 90 years.
He died May 13, at his home for half
a century, 1124 West Mulberry street,
Baltimore.

Born January 6, 1817, in Derkheimer,
near Hartz-on-the-Rhine, Germany, and
the son of a florist to a royal family,
Mr. Cook ran away from home to escape
a condition unbearable to this lover of
flowers — sen'ice in the army. He ar-
rived in New York when about 21 years
old. Thence he went to Philadelphia
and worked for a year as an assistant
gardener. He then located in Baltimore.
His first step was to rent an acre on
Lexington street near Carrollton avenue,
which at that time was a thinly set-
tled section. Beginning in a modest way,
lie carried his first crops to Lexington
market in a wheelbarrow. Later he was
able to buy a horse and wagon, and in
the course of time he bought his land.
The building of houses then encroached
upon this acre, and, receiving a good
ofl'er for his property, he moved into
what he considered the country, and
bought the property on Mulberry street,
which took up most of the block between
Carrollton and Arlington avenues. Here
he has remained and made a fortune and
at the same time an honored name. His
long life he often attributed to his regu-
lar habits and domesticity. It was his
invariable habit to rise at 5 a. m., break
his fast at 6, lunch at noon and dine
again at 6 p. m. At 7:30 he was in bed.

Mr, Cook often claimed to have
brought the first zonal geraniums to this
country, and he also always insisted that
the rose which we now all know as
American Beauty originated on his place,
finding its way thence to the Bancroft
garden and later to Field's. It is cer-
tain that Mr. Cook raised years ago
thousands of seedling roses. Many of
these went out in such ways that he lost
track of them, but some he named and
introduced to the trade. Best known of
these is the tea rose Cornelia Cook,
raised in 1855 and named for a daugh-
ter. The family was at that time known
as Koch, not having as yet adopted the
English form of the name.

Mr. Cook is survived by two children,
Charles Cook and Cornelia Cook. Eight
grandchildren and seven great-grandchil-
dren also survive him. The son has for
some years conducted the business.

New Castle, Ind. — Peter Weiland, of
Weiland & dinger, say that in their
field of several acres of peonies the un-
seasonable weather spoiled the buds on
all but three or four varieties and the
^•rop is almost a total failure. There has
been no rain in May.

COLORS FOR FRONT.

Knowing you receive scores of queer
inquiries, I will add one to the list,
which I think Gertrude Blair can handle
with ease. I am about to place a new
large front window in my store; twelve
feet long; door at the north. Am under
a private dwelling, occupying the ground
floor. I wish to paint the front of the
building, shutters included, two stories
above the store. What would be the
most striking colors of paint to use?
I wish to keep all the woodwork of the
store, window, door, etc., white. What
colors should be usea? S. T. R.

The most "striking" color is not,
perhaps, the one which is in best taste.
The general opinion is that the hand-
somest store front in New York is that
at the Bosary, which is entirely covered,
except for the glass, with birch-bark.
If a loud color is wanted, paint it red
or yellow, with the white trimmings.
A harmonious but softer combination
would be olive green with white. A
good house painter would be better able
to offer advice. Gertrude Blair.

MoBERLY, Mo.— Mrs. R. S. Estill has

ilton.

MiDDLETOW^N, O. — Some reckless law-
breaker lost considerable blood by break-
ing into the greenhouse of Henry Behr-
ens. May lo. The blood on the glass and
ground showed that he must have injured
himself quite badly.

Greenhouse Beating.

A HEATING PROBLEM.

I have a greenhouse 20x48, east and
west, on low ground. I wish to build
on the east end, on a higher level, an
addition 20x24. Twenty-five feet east
of the new greenhouse is a two-story
dwelling. I have a Kroeschell No. 1
boiler located in the west end of the
line. Will it be practicable to heat the
three buildings with this system, the
pipes being on different levels? What
size flows and returns must I use for the
greenhouses, and what size for the dwel-
Mng? How can I protect the junder-
ground pipes between dwelling and
greenhouse, and also those under the
dwelling, the ground freezing to a depth
of three or four feet? Can I use mani-
folds for hot water in the returns in the
greenhouses? How much incline should
the flows and returns have, and where
should the air cocks, and valves for regu-
lating temperature be placed? What
size should the expansion tank be, and
where should it be located? M. J. B.

While I have never piped a house with
a step of this character in it with hot
water, I see no reason why it cannot be
successfully accomplished by carrying
the riser under the ridge to the far end
of the new house, malcing a step in it
by the use of 45 's where the difference
in level occurs. At the far end of the
house, break it up to supply three built

manifolds under the three benches; at
the step simply step each return down
either with L's or 45 's and carry them
to near the main return l)3fore combin-
ing them in a manifold.

The main flow through the houses
should be 214-inch, the distributing pipes
from it to manifolds 2-inch and the re-
turns ll^-inch. There should be eighteen
returns to maintain a temperature of 70
degrees, six in each of the three mani-
foldfl under the benches. If the dwelling
is to have four radiators of 100 square
feet each, a 2-inch pipe from boiler to
first floor radiators will be suflicient, and
114 -inch pipes from first to second floor.
The return should be the same size. The
difference in level should make no dift'er-
ence, provided the expansion tank is
located twelve or fifteen feet higher than
the most elevated radiator in the system.
Each radiator should be provided with
an air valve, and an air vent should also
be placed at the btghest point in the
flow pipe supplying the greenhouse sys-
tem. The pipe to the expansion tank
might be connected to the return lead-,^
ing from the house system to the boiler,'.;
and be located in the attic of the house;

stead of making the bed six feet wide
it would be better to make it twelve feet
wide. A bed twelve feet wide and fifty
feet long can be successfully heated by
a furnace connecting with a flue. Such
beds are extensively used for starting
sweet potatoes and are constructed some-
what as follows:

Choose, if possible, a gently-sloping
area with exposure to south and east.
Arrange thfi| bed so as to get as much
sun as possible. If the ground rises
three to three and a half feet in fifty
feet, make the floor of the bed level. At
the end where the floor is raised three
feet or more, build a brick furnace long
enough to burn cord wood without saw-
ing it, if this is to be the fuel. Make
the walls of the furnace eight or twelve
inches thick, cover with bricks supported
by tee-irons or by a metal plate, and
then add a coating of sand at least two
inches thick.

From the end of the furnace carry a
terra cotta chimney about twenty feet
and allow it to discharge into the space
under the floor of the hotbed.

but an overflow pipe must be provided to
carry off expansion or any overflow in
filling the system. L. C. C.

HEATING WITH A FLUE.

Could I heat twenty cold frames 6x18
by running flues the entire length of the
beds and about two feet in from the ends,
with a stack at the far end? I want
a temperature of from 45 to 50 degrees,
to grow vegetables. C. F. B.

A hotbed for growing vegetable plants
can be constructed so as to be success-
fully heated with hot air from a flue
instead of by fermenting manure. In-

twelve inches off the ground, erect a
board chimney ten or twelve feet high
and about 8x8 inches square. Arrange
a damper, or lid, over top of the chim-
ney to regulate the draft. Provide the
furnace with a grate and a good door
and arrange the brickwork about the
front so as to prevent escaping flames
from setting the frame on fire. Make
the sides of the space beneath the floor
of the hotbed tight, so as to confine all
the heat and smoke of the furnace in
the area beneath the bed and force it to
escape through the chimney. A ridge
pole can be provided through the center
of the bed and guides for the sash from
it to the sides of the frames. Four

inches of soil should be sufficient if 8-
inch or 10-inch side boards are used.
L. C. C.

STEAM OR HOT WATER.

I am building six new houses on a
hillside. They are 22x200. They aver-
age ten feet to ridge, and have 3 V^ -foot
side walls. The boiler pit is at the
southeast corner of the range. The
farthermost point from the boiler is
350 feet. The houses each have a fall
of ten feet from west to east, and are
in three groups, two in a group — with a
10-foot space between each. I have some
2-inch pipe and an abundance of 1-inch
pipe which I would like to utilize. 1
want to arrange so as to use either hot
water or steam. What should be the
size of the openings in the boiler for
flow and return? The pipes will be on
the center and side posts of the houses,
as we will use solid beds. We wish to
maintain a temperature of 50 to 60 de-
grees with outside temperature at 15
degrees above zero. C. W. C.

To heat six houses each 22x200 to a
temperature of 50 degrees with hot
water will require- 1,350 square feet of
radiation for each house, or a total of
8,100 square feet. To do the same thing
with low-pressure steam will require 1,-
050 square feet for each house, or a
total of 6,300. On a shifting system the
minimum, or steam, basis can be used
as a basis for piping the houses. Two
boilers with capacity for about 7,000
feet of radiation each, with 4-inch open-
ings for flow pipes and 2-inch or 3-inch
openings for returns will be satisfactory
if the main riser is six inches. The main
flow pipe for each house should be 3%-
inch, and the returns should not be
smaller than 1^4 -inch; 1%-inch and 2-
inch would be better for hot water, al-
though the 114 -inch will be best suited
for steam.

In such a system it will be unwise to
rely upon hot water except in early fall
and late spring. For this reason it will
undoubtedly be best to arrange the pip-
ing for steam and use 114-inch and l^^-
inch pipe for all returns except the main,
which should be at least a 3-inch pipe.
Each house can be piped by carrying a
3 14 -inch riser from the main flow to the
distant end of the house and there di-
viding it into three 2-inch branches to
feed manifolds which shall in turn sup-
ply ten 114-inch returns. L. C. C.

UNDERGROUND CONDUITS.

Florists have often deplored the loss
of heat resulting from the inefficiency
of the old systems of underground steam
and hot water transmission. It is not
uncommon in mid-winter to see the
ground over steam pipes free from snow
and even showing green with grass, while
there is a depth of several inches of snow
on the surrounding surface.

There is now being placed upon the
market a sectional tile pipe conduit,
which meets a long-felt want in provid-
ing a conduit for pipes running under-
ground, which should thoroughly insulate
and protect the pipes, and which can be
installed for a reasonable cost. This
conduit consists of tile pipe made in top
and bottom sections; this division being
made by cutting half through the shell
of the pipe before it is baked, and then
breaking afterwards, so that the joint is
very much like that made in replacing
pieces of a broken plate, the use of neat
hydraulic cement making it possible to

put these sections together when desired,
making practically a perfect-looking piece
again. As the top and bottom sections
are numbered to correspond, the same
sections can always be mated, and thus
a perfect joint is secured.

The support of the enclosed pipes is
accomplished by supporting tee-sections,
which are placed in the line of conduit
from twelve to eighteen feet apart, de-
pending upon the size of pipes enclosed.
This supporting tee-section is placed
firmly on a bed of concrete, which is car-
ried up into the supporting tee-section,
the concrete holding the metal roll frame
carrying the rods and rolls upon which
the pipes rest. Thus the entire weight
of the pipes and their contents is en-
tirely independent of the conduit itself,
and it is so firm as to permit of any
required weight and movement of the
pipes without any injury to the conduit.

The conduit with supporting tees and
roll frames is laid section by section un-
til a line is completed, and then the pipes
are put in place and tested, after which
the insulation may be applied. This in-
sulation may be of either the sectional
pipe covering form, or what is more
used and recommended is the "asbesto-
sponge" conduit filling, with which the
entire remaining space in the conduit
about the pipes is filled.

It is customary to place under this con-
duit an underdrain to remove the surplus
water, which would otherwise lie against
the conduit and absorb the heat.

Certain features of this conduit are
especially meritorious. The simplicity of
the system is due to its few parts. The
pipes may be installed more easily in this
conduit than in other forms of conduit,
and the insulation may be applied more
easily, while the pipes can be reached for
the purpose of repairing, if desired, as
easily as any other form of conduit, ex-
cept possibly the large tunnels, which
are usually prohibitive on account of the
cost.

The conduit is water, fire and acid
proof; the conduit itself being inde-
structible, and no opening of the joints
is caused by movement or weight of the
pipes on account of the form of support
provided.

Careful tests have been made to deter-
mine the loss of heat in transmitting
steam underground in this form of con-
duit. The most recent test, which was
made by Geo. H. Barrus, expert and
consulting engineer, of iioston, has shown
that the loss of heat was less than that
usually found in pipes installed in build-
ings with the best commercial grades of
sectional pipe covering, which would
seem the most satisfactory in view of the
fact that the pipes installed underground
are placed in a more difficult position,
because of the amount of water in the
ground, and the lower temperature of the
ground.

The details as to this new method of
conserving heat are from data supplieu
by the H. W. Johns-Manville Co., who
have done much for the economy of flo-
rists ' fuel and who have published a neat
illustrated booklet on the system here de-
scribed.

The Review will send Herrington's
Chrysanthemum Book on receipt of 50
cents.

Budlong's Gasoline Soil Pulverizer.

BUDLONCS SOIL CRUSHER.

To the large growers for the Chicago
market the question of a supply of soil
is of importance second only to the coal
supply, and entailing almost an equal
amount of work. When a grower has
anywhere from 100,000 to 1,000,000
square feet of bench surface and must
bring his soil from a considerable dis-
tance, it means hard work and expensive
work.

Most of the big growers north of Chi-
cago go a considerable distance for their
soil, and when they get it it is not always
in .the mechanical condition they would
like. To remedy this defect A. H. Bud-
long, who manages the growing end of
the J. A. Budlong business, has built
the machine shown in the accompanying
illustration. It is mounted on a low
wagon, so that it may be moved from
place to place. The apparatus is set up
at the source of soil supply, instead of
at the greenhouse, as is the usual cus-
tom. The soil from the field is thrown
upon the first conveyer, which carries it
in a never-ending stream up to the
crusher and pulverizer, which rests on
the wagon. Here it passes downward
through the rollers and is put into the
right mechanical shape. Falling upon
the second conveyer, it is elevated and
drawn into the waiting wagon without
further handling by shovel. Mr. Bud-
long operates his soil crusher with gaso-
line engine power, also mounted on the
wagon, and finds in it a very great sav-
ing over other methods of working his
compost, to say nothing of accomplish-
ing the desired result with the expedi-
tion essential where a large amount of
material must be handled in a short
time.

Tewksbury, Mass. — Work is progres-
sing rapidly on Albert Eoper's new
greenhouse.

HiLLSBORO, III. — F. C. Winkelmaun
reports a very late spring, but says that
for the past three weeks he has had
the largest demand for all kinds of
plants experienced in his many years of
gardening.

South Bend, Ind. — The South Bend
Floral Co. reports that this has been the
most successful spring that it has had
since it began business. The fact that
it has just broken ground for an addi-
tion of 20,000 feet of glass shows what
it thinks of the future.

FORQNG LETTUCE.

More failures in growing lettuce under
glass can be traced to unsuitable soil
than any other one cause. A good soil for
lettuce should be a rich, mellow turfy
loam and of a somewhat sandy character.
Head lettuce requires a lighter soil than
the loose or leafy varieties. All heavy
clay soils should be avoided. A good
compost for lettuce is composed of three
parts of well-rotted sod mixed with one
part of thoroughly rotted cow or stable
manure and enough sand to make it
gritty.

As to beds, lettuce can best be grown
in solid beds because the moisture can
be maintained more uniformly at the
roots, also the temperature of the bed
is always cool. Where benches only are
available we must make the best of it.
To grow the first crop, or that which
comes into maturity about Thanksgiving,
will take from eight to ten weeks. The
crop that comes in about midwinter re-
quires two to four weeks longer. If
more houses than one are to be planted,
various sowings must be made accord-
ingly to keep up a steady supply. Make
a sowing every ten days or two weeks.

The most profitable variety to grow
will depend entirely on the market avail-
able. It is difficult to give advice as to
the best varieties, as conditions vary
widely in different sections of the coun-
try. If head lettuce is required I think
Boston Market still holds its own. If
loose or leafy lettuce is wanted, Grand

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

May 24, 1006.

Bapids seems to be in line. The demand
is best and prices highest in January,
February and March, so it is well to have
the heaviest crop mature at that time,
but growers must be guided by their
market demand.

To be of the best quality lettuce must
be grown rapidly, hence nitrogen is need-
ful. This element can be supplied in
the form of nitrate of soda; one-half
ounce to a gallon of water, to be watered
in, will give good results. The tempera-
ture of the house should be kept as
steady as possible, at from 40 to 45 de-
grees at night with a rise to 60 or 65
degrees during the day with sunshine.
Air should be admitted on all favorable
occasions and the atmosphere should
never be allowed to become close and
stagnant. Most failures in lettuce forc-
ing are due to bad ventilation.

Unwholesome soil, insects and fungus
enemies should be watched very closely.
Green fly is very troublesome and if it
once gets a good foothold it is not easy
to subdue. If the house is kept too
warm it generally makes its appearance.
Nicotine extract affords a good remedy.
It should always be kept on hand.

Look out for the lettuce rot, or Botry-
tis vulgaris. It is generally found to
exist if the house is kept too close and
wet. Give plenty of air and raise the
temperature a little.

Another trouble is mildew, but it can
be kept in cheek with sulphur fumes.
It is caused by sudden changes in the
temperature and by growing the plants
too soft. If the soil is stirred frequently
and there is reasonable care in watering
and in maintaining a uniform tempera-
ture there will seldom be any trouble
with mildew. Leaf burn is another fun-
gus that lettuce is heir to. It attacks
the edges of the inner leaves, quickly
disfiguring the heads. It occurs after a
spell of cloudy weather. There are three
things that suggest success. The first is
to see that the soil is in a suitable con-
dition; second, to control all atmospheric
changes as much as possible, and third,
to grow them on without any check.

TORONTO.

The Market.

Trade during the last week has been
very good, and the only thing that we
can say there is an oversupply of is
roses. Great quantities of pink and
white roses have been in the market since
Easter, and the demand does not appear
at all equal to the supply. J. H. Dun-
lop and the Toronto Floral Co. have been
supplying some magnificent Beauties.
Carnations have not been equal to the
demand, and this helped to work off
some of the oversupply of roses. How-
ever, at present writing carnations seem
to be increasing, and with the advent of
hot weather the rose supply will decrease.
We expect that when the quantities of
good roses are wanted for June weddings
the supply will be away off. Sweet peas
are in good supply. The supply of calla
lilies and Harrisii lilies, of which there
has been such an overabundance since
Easter, is gradually decreasing, and we
expect in another week that we will see
but a few of them around.

The annual spring^ meet of the On-
tario Jockey Club is making quite a
stir in social circles. The Governor-Gen-
eral and party are attending, and numer-
ous luncheons are being given in his
honor. This, we expect, will use up a

good quantity of flowers and help to
clean up the market of at least the bet-
ter qualities of cut bloom.

Various Notct.

This locality was visited last week by
a severe hail storm, so severe that H.
Waters, East Toronto, has over 1,000
feet of glass broken. Other greenhouses
in the locality had a number of panes
broken, but nothing like the extent of
Mr. Waters.

We expect to hear of one of our crafts-
men here applying for a Carnegie medal.
C. Turp, while out cruising in his gaso-
line launch, was instrumental in saving
from drowning a man who had capsized
a sailboat. The man was in a very ex-
hausted condition, but Mr. Turp had the
necessary stimulant to revive him.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market

The combination of August and April
weather has proved disastrous for some
of the cut flowers. Brides and Brides-
maids being jparticularly affected by
the torrid days, and refusing to be com-
forted even by the cool nights that fol-
lowed. The general market conditions
are fair for the last half of May. Stock
is coming into town in great quantities;
much of it is marketed at low prices.
The additions to the list are peonies,
locally grown, now coming in ; centaurea,
to be seen both at the Leo Niessen Co. 's
and at S. S. Pennock's, and cornflower,
a specialty with the former. There
seems a fair demand for both Easter
and calla lilies, with supply rather short.
Outdoor valley is here in great quan-
tities, the price being about $1 per hun-
dred. Opinions differ as to the effect of
this stock on the better grade of indoor
valley. Interest centers in carnations,
which have held up fairly well during
the warm weather, and are now improv-
ing with those growers whose houses are
well ventilated. Prospects are fair for
a good supply next week. Edw. Keid
is receiving some very fine Ethel Trotter,
a sure sign of the approach of summer,
as this variety requires a certain amount
of heat to attain its true form. The
prospects for peonies are excellent.

Girard G)lIeKe.

May 20 is Founder's day at Girard
College. This year May 20 fell on Sun-
day, so the great reunion of college
alumni was held on Saturday, much to
the disapprobation of the college profes-
sors, who had hoped that it might be
on Monday, as Saturday is a holiday
anyhow. Floriculturally speaking, the
interest in Founder's day centers in the
decoration of the tomb of Stephen Gir-
ard by Edwin Lonsdale. Maidenhair
fern, fuchsias and kentias formed a rich
and graceful combination.

The arrangement of the beds in front
of the main entrance was fully de-
scribed in this column last season. The
crotons are not yet in position, one bed
which will be used for them later being
filled with Myosotis Eliza Fanrobert,
edged with a yellow pansy. Golden Gem,
I think. This was especially pleasing.
The effect of geraniums alternating with
pansy and forget-me-not beds is a blend-
ing, as it were, of summer and spring.

A feature of the boys' tables on
Founder's day was a decoration of Cal-
ceolaria rugosa, Mr. Lonsdale having
grown sixty-four perfect specimens of

this beautiful flowering plant, or just
enough to give one to each table. These
were arranged with a view to a general
effect, creating the impression in the
spectator's mind of a much larger num-
ber of plants than were actually in the
room.

R. B. Herr, of Ripton, near Lancaster,
has sent a set of fifty-four named varie-
ties and seedlings of Rex begonias to the
college greenhouses for experiment.
These plants are beautifully marked lit-
tle specimens, reflecting great credit on
Mr. Herr's cultural skill. Mr. Lonsdale
has always been a warm admirer of the
Rex begonia, and in his hands we may
look for some interesting results.

Various Notes.

Charles E. Meehan, who has secured a
controlling interest in the stock of the
Philadelphia Wholesale Flower Market,
has sent out a circular letter to the other
stockholders, offering to buy their shares
at par, $15 paid. This is probably
twice what the stock was worth two
years ago. Its present value is due
largely to Mr. Meehan 's untiring energy
in pushing the interests of the market.

Fred Ehret will move his flower store
on Fairmount avenue, above Broad
street, next door on or about June 1.

John F. Andre, Doylestown, Fa., will
grow one house of Killarney rose the
coming season.

Edw. Towill, of Roslyn, has decided
to plant a quantity of Killarney next
year.

J. Stephenson, of Oak Lane, has made
a success of his Liberty roses the past
season. The ground shoots are excep-
tionally fine.

Godfrey Aschmann is making a spe-
cialty of Ipomaea noctiflora, the moon
vine, which he distributes throughout
the country.

Mrs. Sarah I. Smith, of Secane, is
sending very fine Enchantress carnations
to the Flower Market.

H. Bayersdorfer & Co. have a new line
of grass heads, which Mr. Berkowitz
aptly describes as "sour grapes," the
name being called forth by the expres-
sion on the countenance of the individual
described. Green toothpicks and wire
are another specialty here in the line of
innovations.

The suburban florists are doing an
active business in small vegetable plants,
tomatoes especially. John Holt, of North
Wales, and H. W. Collins, of Doyles-
town, report a lively demand for these
staples.

M. Rice & Co. have their window-boxes
in position, attractively filled with arecas,
ferns, variegated periwinkle, and ivy.
Mr. Eschner considers these boxes highly
educational, and believes that every
florist should use them in front of his
store, where possible.

The Leo Niessen Co. has received a
new stock of dagger ferns.

M. Rice and Mrs. Rice will sail for
home on June 7, on the wonderful new
steamer Kaiserin Auguste Victoria,
which is described as 700 feet long, hav-
ing eight decks, and every modern im-
provement, including a swimming pool.

Samuel S. Pennock has placed a row
of window-boxes along the front of his
new addition at 1610 Ludlow street.
These boxes are beautifully filled with
hydrangeas, crotons, Pandanus Veitchii,
and other plants and vines.

The Philadelphia Cut Flower Co. is ar-
ranging improvements for next season.
They plan removing their ice-box to the
rear of the salesroom and bringing the

NORTHERN TEXAS.

Quiet business is the report for the
past week. The bedding season seems
to be over. A few stray customers come
in once in a while but purchases are
light.

We have been having \msettled weather
for some time and field work has been
retarded. Cut-worms have thrived dur-
ing the cool T^'et season, and have de-
stroyed quantities of garden stuff and,
in some instances, nothing was exempt.

Most of the greenhouses have sold out
everything of a salable nature, and things
are being put in shape for fall stock.
Carnations in the field are looking fine,
some growers, too timid, neglected to
plant early, and, the rainy season coming
on, they were unable to get into the
field. Result — plants about ten inches
high in 2%rinch pots, no breaks, and
trouble ahead for the grower. I have
noticed that carnations quickly go to
pieces here, by reason of the heat, and
,it requires some fine work to hold the

plants cool enough to get a crop for
commencement.

Cut flowers have taken a drop in price ;
in fact, all kinds of plants are cheaper,
but as yet very little stock is wasted.
Enough orders are coming in to dispose
of all surplus.

Mums are looking good, and wul soon
be planted. Stock for summer cutting is
coming on in good shape, and the variety
will be much larger than formerly. Not
enough attention has been given hereto-
fore to experimenting with a variety of
plants, in order to break the monotony of
sameness. But this year, I think the
majority of the craft are growing a few
of all kinds, with the idea in view of
having more to select from.

I have been told that the hot winds
in July and August wither plants, but
I think that proposii-xon can be overcome
by judicious mulching, with sufficient
care in watering, so that piants looked
upon now with suspicion will be eagerly
taken up and successfully cultivated.
New methods are not looked upon with
favor, you must "show" the folks here
that other than the common plants can
be grown before you can find a purchaser.
But the people are learning fast and
when confidence can be restored in their
minds there will be no trouble to sell the
goods. Narcissus.

ThcMjtfket

Business is moving along much in a
summer rut. The hot weather we have
been having has taken most of the life
out of it. The demand has little life,
and we consider it rather lucky that the
supply is not heavy; otherwise, there
would be a bad glut. As it is, the ma-
jority of the stock received sells fairly
well and at prices that are not so bad.
Of course, there is a lot of poor stock
that has to go at bargain prices, but
there usually are takers.

Roses are showing the effects of the
hot weather. The buds are small.
American Beauties are coming in in
pretty fair shape and they sell well, but
at low prices. Carnations are holding
out well. Peonies are beginning to ar-
rive in goodly quantities and they find
a ready market. The larger and finer
varieties will begin to come this week.
Sweet peas are selling strongly. Valley
also has a good call.

Green goods continue pretty scarce,
especially good smilax and adiantum.
The common fern supply is pretty good.

Florists' Society.

The following members of the Cin-
cinnati Florists' Society were placed in
nomination for office for the ensuing
year: For president, Wm. Murphy and
Henry Schwarz; for vice-president, Ben
George and George Murphy; for secre-
tary, C. J. Ohmer and Gus Adrian; for
treasurer, D. Rusconi and J. Chas. Mur-
phy; and for director, R. Witterstaetter
and Frank Dellar. The election will be
held at the next meeting, Saturday, June
9, at 8 p. m. This will be the first tim'e
tliat the members have voted direct for
their officers. Before, they voted for
five directors, who in turn elected their
own officers. Under the new method,
the men elected will constitute the board
of directors. The change was made to
put more enthusiasm into the elections.

The rapidly approaching S. A. F. con-
vention at Dayton is now being talked of
on all sides. At the last meeting of the

Florists' Society it was decided to send
out a call to all florists of this city and
vicinity to meet with the society at its
club rooms, June 9, and discuss plans to
attend the national meeting in a body.
It is hoped that at least 100 persons
will go from here, and if such is the
case, they will go in a special train. At
said meeting committees will be ap-
pointed to do some tall hustling and
you can expect to find Cincinnati at the
convention with both feet.

Various Notes.

H. M. Altick ran down from Dayton
for a day. He reported that everything
is shaping itself in fine style, and that
all the Dayton boys are working tooth
and nail.

John Dellar, returning from the mar-
ket late last Saturday night, was knocked
off of the wagon seat by a street-car.
He was picked up badly hurt, and was
taken to the hospital, where he is doing
nicely now.

Samuel Batson, of Kalamazoo, Mich.,
is shipping some finely-grown ten-week
stocks to this market. Grown the way he
grows them, they make a beautiful cut
flower and sell very well.

Burglars entered the store of Charles
Young, 1420 Market street, May 16, steal-
ing $12 from the cash register, and some
roses from the ice box.

Fred Lautenschlager, representing
Kroeschell Bros. Co., of Chicago, is in
town. He reports the sale of several
large boilers to Henry Varnan, Dreman
and Borden streets. Mr. Varnan has
just erected a range of 24,000 feet of
glass, which will be devoted to vegetable
growing.

Visitors were Mr. Gregg and Mr. Win-
ter, of Charleston, W. Va.; also C. P.

AN EARLY BORDER OF BULBS.

In establishments where large numbers
of bulbs are annually forced their dis-
posal after having served a turn indoors
is often a real problem, backgrounds of
shrubberies, wild gardens, grass, and
even the rubbish heap sometimes sharing
in the spoil. Instead of thus disposing
of the surplus, gardeners might well
follow the example of a veteran under
whom I once served. His plan was to
make narrow borders, eighteen inches
to two feet wide, under all the warm
fruit walls, i. e., those having a south,
west, or east exposure, well manure them,
and plant them thickly with bulbs from
the forcing houses. From such borders
we cut bushels of early flowers in spring,
and greatly relieved the tale exacted
from the houses when flowers there for
cutting were none too plentiful. — Gar-
deners' Magazine.

Outdoor Exhibition at Daytoo.

Growers and introducers of novelties
in cannas, asters, geraniums, petunias,
roses and other tender or hardy garden
material should not underestimate the
value of the opportunity afforded in the
plans as formulated by the executive
board of the S. A. F. for displaying
and introducing to the public such meri-
torious new things as they may have to
offer.

The county fair follows directly after
the close of the S. A. F. convention and
the large local attendance should and
doubtless will bring good business to
the exhibitors. One prominent grower
who has taken a big space states that
the proposition promises better than the
planting exhibit at the World's Fair as
a business getter. The catalogue mail
trade houses cannot afford to overlook
this opportuDity-

Planting ic now going on under the
supervision of skilled gardeners, and all
exhibits will have the best of care and
full protection throughout the summer.
The charge for space is merely nominal.
For rates and assignments address H. M.
Altick, Dayton, 0., or Wm. J. Stewart,
secretary, 11 Hamilton place, Boston,
Mass.

To my way of thinking, by all odds
the best paper. — H. L. Clapp, Kipon,

ToPEKA, Kan. — The new greenhouse
at the Osawattomie asylum will be
erected by the Greenhouse Co., of Jer-
sey City, N. J., at a cost of $2,250.

SOUTHERN FLORISTS ORGANIZE.

Chattanooga. Tenn., May 22. — The
Society of Southern Florists and Orna-
mental Horticulturists was organized
here today, enrolling forty-two members,
representing practically all the southern
states. E. C. Berckmans, of Augusta,
Ga., was elected president; C. W, Eich-
ling, of New Orleans, first vice-presi-
dent; C. O. Hunt, of Chattanooga,
second vice-president; Dr. J. F. Wilson,
of Poulan, Ga., secretary; Jos. Stockier,
of New Orleans, treasurer. The next con-
vention will bo held at New Orleans at
the call of the official board.

WASHINGTON.

State of Trade.

All growers of outdoor stock in this
vicinity are now confronted with grave
conditions. There has been no Tain
worthy of mention for a month. The
carnations had not all been planted in
the fields; it would have been better,
probably, if they had all remained in
reach of the hose, as "dust and ashes"
about expresses the condition of the
fields. It is only by vigorous watering
that peonies, so far as the writer has
observed, can be made to bloom. If rain
does not come soon the crops of the mar-
ket gardener will be ruined, and the
same will be true of the farmers. Under
glass, there has been intense heat, and
watering has become a burden. On Sun-
day and Monday there was a slight re-
lief— cooler weather, but no rain.

All this is depressing the market.
Saturday, usually the best day of the
week, was so hot that few buyers ven-
tured out. In addition, it is the cause
of many departures for the summer re-
sorts, a month earlier than usual. How-
ever, those who have to stay are making
the best of the situation. The Masonic
May Festival opened on Monday in Con-
vention hall, with elaborate decorations.
A number of the senators are still giving
dinners, which call for good decorations.

Masonic Festival.

Several of the leading florists are
actively ndentified with the Masonic May
Festival, which opened in Convention
hall. May 21, and continues for five
days. The decorations are handsome and
interesting. One end of the hall repre-
sents the arctic regions, the other the
tropics; while between are representa-
tives of other climes.

The flower booth is in charge of Mr.
and Mrs. W. F. Gude, assisted by a
charming array of femininity. The booth
is well stocked with American Beauty
roses and other seasonable blooms, which
are selling at much higher prices than

in the stores. Both Mr. and Mrs. Gude
are prominent members of the fraternity,
and pre-eminently past masters in sell-
ing flowers. ScoTTY.

DETROIT.

The Market.

Commencements, weddings, receptions,
funerals, etc., are keeping the retailers
busy these days. Some also are rushed
with outside work. Carnations are more
in evidence than the previous week, but
there are not enough to meet the de-
mand. They range in price from $1.50
to $3 per hundred. Brides and Maids
are quite plentiful, but the stock is
nothing to brag about. They bring from
$4 to $8 per hundred. Fine Kaiserins
are obtainable at $5 to $6 per hundred.
Fairly good snapdragon sells at $3 per
hundred. Sweet peas bring from 50
cents to 75 cents per hundred. Lilies
are plentiful, as also are smilaz and
other greens. At this writing peonies
have not put in their appearance.

Qub Meeting.

Owing to its being an unusually warm
evening, the attendance at the Detroit
Florists' Club's last meeting was very
light. Considerable interest was shown
in the coming convention at Dayton. As
a large number of Detroiters mean to
attend, it was thought advisable to char-
ter a private car.

The club's next meeting, June 6, will
be in the form of a smoker. A discus-
sion on * •' Decoration Day ' ' has also been
assigned for the evening.

Asparagus plumosus Crawshawii,
shown by James Crawshaw, of Provi-
dence, E. I., received honorable mention.

Varioiit Notes.

Harry Pickworth, gardener to Oren
Scotten, will leave about June 1 for a
few months' sojourn in Europe.

A very unique idea was carried out
by Albert Pochelon last week, in the
shape of an ordinary hod filled with an
assortment of vegetables, and carnations
to add color, the whole making an im-
mense bouquet. It was presented to
FreJ Nash at the Temple theater.

Wm. Dilger was slightly injured by
coming into close proximity with an
automobile. H. S.

EASTON, PA.

A. L. Eaub & Co. were overtaxed with
funeral work last Monday. They sup-
plied four wagon-loads in the one day.
One piece was composed of 500 American
Beauty roses and 3,000 lilies of the val-
ley. All the work was designed and
made by Paul Kaffke. It was the finest
lot of work seen here in many years-
Arthur Kleinhans has bought one of
the 40x300 hothouses which H. P. Klein-
hans owned at one time, and is building
an addition 10x300.

John Stone, of Bethlehem township, is
contemplating building a greenhouse
18x120.

Paul Kaffke, manager of the A. L.
Eaub & Co.'s plant, recently was tend-
ered a surprise party by some of his Ma-
sonic friends.

Hamburg, Pa. — Stephen Sousley re-
ports a fine season. He built a green-
house on Franklin street about a year
ago and finds himself with more business
than he can handle, so that new glass will
be added before fall.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market

The oldest men in the market can re-
call no week of such unwieldy oversup-
ply as depressed the market from May 14
to May ]9. In the thirty years that some
men look back there is no week when the
glut has been so utterly unmanageable.
Never in the history of the market has
there been so much waste and never have
average returns to the growers been so
low. If there was any item of which
there Avas not an oversuppJy, the fact
was unobserved. Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday of last week the tempera-
ture ran to 90 degrees in the shade. The
normal mean temperature for the middle
of May is 58 degrees. Is it necessary to
say anything further?

Not only were all flowers brought into
the market with a rush, the receipts be-
ing three or four timeg what they nor-
mally are, but the heat took the quality
out of everything. All stock came soft
and without keeping quality, which
added to the burdens of the wholesalers.
The select goods brought fair prices be-
cause there were so few of them. The
bulk of the stock, after the legitimate
local and shipping demand was supplied,
was jobbed off at any price the Greeks
chose to offer. Some of the sales, stated
in figures, seem ridiculous enough, but
it was a case where any sale was a good
sale because something was left every
night to go in the dump the next morn-
ing. It is impossible to overstate last
week's glut and the consequent fall in
values.

A fall in temperature on Saturday to
10 degrees below the normal did not
bring the expected revival. Of course it
operated to reduce receipts, but it seems
that such headway had been gathered
that the cuts are still coming on, and
the weather man says more high tem-
peratures are in sight; indeed, by Tues-
day it was already hot. There still are
some good Beauties, but most of the
bufls are small and require much peeling,
which they can ill afford, to get down
to natural color. Chatenay holds its
quality better, and red roses are good.

To find first-class Brides and Maids
one must be early on the market. Tea
roses suffered to a greater extent than
anything else during last week 's torridity,
and Kaiserin, which has not been in de-
mand heretofore, sprang into high favor.
A little cool weather would put quality
back into the rose crops, but it is feared
there will be few, if any, good roses for
Decoration day. A number of whole-
salers are advising buyers to push pe-
onies instead of roses. The mildew on
roses is something ' ' fierce. ' ' Many good
growers were caught.

Carnations- sold for a nickel a bunch
last week and are in only a little better
shape now. Keceipts continue large and
quality has deteriorated to a marked de-
gree. Only the oest sell at anything like
a fair price.

This week the glut of peonies is per-
plexing the wholesalers. Local Old Eed
arrived Monday. Hundreds of growers
are making shipments from down the
state and have no knowledge of how the
peony should be handled. This class of
stock is bringing $1 to $3 per hundred,
according to variety, and is injuring fhe
sale of the better goods, which, in conse-
quence, fire going into cold storage.
There are varying reports as to the
peony crop. Some growers say much of
their stock was ruined by the unseason-

able and changeable weather. There are,
however, at present more peonies than
the market can use.

Outdoor lily of the valley is abundant.
There are a few cape jasmine in the mar-
ket, but it begins to be accepted that
the supply for Decoration day will be
short. Pansies are in large supply. A
few gladioli are seen, including The
Bride. The outdoor tulips have about
passed. Sweet peas are largely used,
but the receipts are so heavy that they
must be of high quality to bring a profit-
able price. A cent a bunch for short-
stemmed Blanche Ferry was a good price
last week. Lilies are also a problem.
Bridal Wreath spiraea is in. Lilac is
about over.

Green goods are in larger supply and
selling fairly well. A number of nice
orders for sniilax and asparagus are on
file for June.

All the wholesalers report large orders
for Decoration day. There certainly
will be a heavy demand, as prices are
moderate. Supply is likely to be not so
heavy as at present, but there neverthe-
less will be enough to go around.

Sleulh to be a Grower.

Herman F. Schuettler, assistant chief
of police and credited with being the
handsomest man on the force, has erected
a range of seven greenhouses at 754 Bos-
worth avenue and is preparing to put up
as many more. N. P. Miller is superin-
tending the construction of the plant, but
a grower from Peter Reinberg's staff

has been engaged. Mr. Eeinberg sup-
plied the carnation plants with which
half the glass will be stocked, roses oc-
cupying the balance of the space.

West Madison Street.

A traveling man from New York called
Madison street the Broadway of the west
side and he found prosperous flower
stores scattered pretty evenly along its
four and a half miles to Garfield park,
but, strangely enough, no more of them
than there were ten years ago.

As one goes out from the city the
first flower store is that of H. F. Halle.
A large room is well fitted up and there
is a commodious conservatory at the
rear, where a large stock of palms in
decorating sizes is carried. Mr. Halle
suffered a period of ill health two or
three years ago, but again is entirely well
and doing a nice business.

At the old Schiller place George Asmus
has an up-to-date store and if there is
any funeral work doing on the great
west side, a share of it is sure to be
found in his place. A good business has
been done all winter but it has been
quiet the past fortnight.

Where Colorado avenue has its root in
Madison the store of Mrs. E. Anderson
presents an attractive front. Years ago
this stand was conducted as a branch by
C. Frauenfelder; who sold the property
and business to Mrs. Anderson. She put
up a new building about a year ago and
is doing well.

Vatiottt Notes.

Prior to his departure for California,
President Hauswirth, of the Florists'
Club, appointed the committee which is
to consider the matter of a spring rose
show in conjunction with that of the
American Rose Society. The committee
consists of F. F. Benthey, C. L. Wash-
burn, N. J. Wietor, August Poehlmann,
Peter Reinberg, John Degnan and John
P. Risch.

The Retail Florists' Association pro-
poses to drive the sidewalk men out of
business. There is an ordinance requir-
ing that sidewalks be kept free of bopths
and show cases. On May 17 a delega-
tion, headed by A. Lange, called on
Mayor Dunne, accompanied by a repre-
sentative of Huttman, Butters & Carr,
who are nttorneys for the retailers. The
mayor referred the matter to the assistant
corporation counsel, Maclay Hoyne, who
recommended that the commissioner of
public works order the removal of the
show cases from the sidewalks.

Henry C. Dunn and John A. Huebner,
former employees of the Central Floral
Co., are doing a nice business at 72 Ran-

rible had happened there. Arrived at
the store, E, E. Pieser, who lives on
the floor below, reported that a baby of
the Preece family had that morning
fallen from the Kennieott 's third-story
window and fractured its skull.

E. C. Amling calls attention to the

fact that never did quality help a grower
more than in last week's glut. When
stock is a drug buyers will accept noth-
ing but the best, and the more careful
growers make much the best averages.

Paul Beyer was up from South Bend
on Monday, buying stock. He was for-
merly with retail florists here.

Bassett & Washburn are cutting Kai-

serins with stems foui- and five feet long.

E. H. Hitchcock, of Glenwood, Mich.,
has been in town this week, making con-
tracts for ferns for storage next season.

H. E. Hughes, West Van Buren street,
has a window of the grass-growing fig-
ures which attracts a great deal of atten-
tion. He has issued a neatly printed
circular to tell his trade about them.

N. J. Wietor says that the call for
chrysanthemum cuttings this season has
been something far beyond the ordinary.
They find it difficult to hold stock for
their own requirements.

George Reinberg expects to get into
his new quarters during the present
week.

Zech & Mann are handling their an-
nual crop of red gladioli. They sell
well.

John Turner, at Morgan Park, has an
annual crop of Gladiolus The Bride,
which he sends to Kennieott Bros. Co.
for Decoration day. The first of it came
slightly earlier than usual this year be-
cause of the hot weather. Used with red
peonies the retailers make some fine
effects.

Weiland & Bisch point with pride to
the fact that Killarney is holding its own
in spite of the hot weather, while most
roses have deteriorated very greatly.

Percy Jones comments on the fact that
Kaiserin is now in demand. He has had
a supply for months, but no one wanted
them, as Bride was very good up to last
week.

Vaughan & Sperry report that their
supply of poet's narcissi suffered extinc-
tion in the hot weather.

A. L. Eandall says that the peach crop

NEV YORK.

The Market.

These be "record days" in the cut
flower market. The heat has been abnor-
mal, 90 degrees in the shade on Satur-
day, with several days of excessive tem-
perature. The result is a flood of stock,
especially roses, and quality retrograd-
ing, crops coming in ahead of their legit-
imate time looking pale and premature
and sales of necessity far below pub-
lished quotations. Buyers are the inde-
pendent ones these days and dictate
values. Still the market cleans up at
some price and better business and bet-
ter figures are confidently expected in
the month of June.

The surplus of roses on Saturday was
closed out at unheard of sacrifices. One
wholesaler sold 7,000 for $3. Carna-
tions dropped to $2 a thousand. Such
stock, of course, was accumulations and
had to go to the bargain hunter or the
barrel, but it indicates something of the
condition the wholesalers have to meet

and make the best of. Very few of the
growers complain who come to the city
to seek the why and wherefore, for they
realize how useless it is to kick against
the inevitable. The first of the present
week shows little, if any, improvement.
There is no shortage of anything, and
lilac, peonies, and the usual outdoor
summer blooms, are now abundant, espe-
cially valley, and sweet peas and stocks
are shown in uncountable profusion.
May will probably go on record as the
least profitable spring month the whole-
salers ever experienced.

The extreme heat of the last of the
week has again been followed by severe
cold and frost. Much damage is re-
ported up the state, especially at Utica
and vicinity. Here in New York over-
coats were a necessity on Monday even-
ing.

Quite a number of the craft find the
daily equine exhibitions in the vicinity
a healthful and profitable change from
the regular cares of the day. These
exhibits are made in the open air and
are very popular and occasionally inex-
pensive.

A Visit to Childs'.

No more interesting nme of tue year
than now, when all nature is bursting
into bud, blossom and song, can be chosen
for a visit to Floral Park, where, under
the guidance of Adolph Jaenicke, the su-
perintelident of the greenhouse depart-
ment, JdWn Lewis Childs' beautiful place
is seen. This is a center of specialties.
From this center are disseminatea yeariy
40,000 gloxinias, and an equal number
of tuberous begonias. Seedling gerani-
ums without limit as to quantity are
named after states: the best white, Penn-
sylvania; the best orange. New York;
the best scarlet, Ohio, and so on. Other
specialties are xSegonia Rex seedlings;
the new rose pink cactus, German Em-
press; fancy caladiums, of which 10,000
are propagated yearly; a large collec-
tion of variegated foliage plants; hot-
house grapes in pots, eighteen months old
in fruit; the scarlet daisy, the South
African Gerbera Jamesonii, now bloom-
ing in the open garden and perfectly
hardy; fifty varieties of lilacs in twenty
colors; 10,000 cyclamens in ten varieties;
calla lilies in fiiieen varieties — yellow,
white and pink; a collection of rare
palms, and the Phoenix Eoebelenii, from
Hindu-China, of which Mr. Childs has
150,000 seeulings and plants in all sizes,
the most popular palm introduction of
the new century.

Mr. Jaenicke has been with Mr. Childs
for ten years and before coming to this

country was with Haage & Schmidt for
seven years at Erfurt, Germany. His
ability as an expert plantsman is every-
where conceded. Floral Park has be-
come a favorite suburb of New York and
property is fast rising in vt^pe. There
is no more charming suburban section
near the metropolis.

Various Notes.

Madison furnished an unfortunate fire
in the burning of the house and green-
houses of John Eoper last week. Mr.
Roper narrowly escaped with hia life.

W. G. Badgley, of Chatham, N. Y.,
the rose grower, has leased the Ryan
greenhouses in that town, a plant double
the size of his own, and will devote the
houses to Bride, Maid and Kate Moulton.
His stock is handled by A. J. Guttman,
who returned Saturday morning from
his month's trip abroad. It is reported
that another of the Twenty-eighth street
wholesalers will make a trip to the
Orient this summer and one will visit
shortly at Mt. Clemens, Mich. Most
of these holidays will be postponed until
after the club's outing, July 2, tickets
for which are selling rapidly.

Max Limprecht is still very ill at his
home in Jersey. His store on West Thir-
tieth street, last week destroyed by fire,
is to be rebuilt and modernized so when
complete the Limprecht Co. will be in
line with the best of the supply centers
in New York.

A. J. Fellouris moves to his new place
at 52 West Twenty-eighth street this
week. A. M. Henshaw, the new whole-
saler, will also have his headquarters at
this address and opened last Saturday
with encouraging patronage. The young-
er generation of wholesalers is much in
evidence and rumor has several more
booked for similar enterprises in Septem-
ber. It is a great city and there is al-
ways room for good men at the top.
Mr. Henshaw has been for some time
with A. L. Young & Co.

On Saturday evening the largest
steamship in the world, and the most
luxurious of floating palaces, arrived at
New York, the Kaiserin Auguste Vic-
toria. It seems impossible ever to con-
struct anything more perfect and won-
derful in its line. On the topmost deck
is a great palm garden enclosed in glass.
A round glass cupola in the ceiling floods
it with light. The walls are covered with
vines. A landscape of castles and foun-
tains forms an effective background.
There is a florists' shop, too, perfect in
its appointments, where orders for each
day of the voyage may be left and a
supply of fresh flowers is always avail-
able. Suites cost from $3,000 down.
That's nothing. Many a florist will make
his honeymoon trip on the big boat if
the days of prosperity continue. Several
wholesalers and sons of wholesalers are
dreaming about it now.

week, in discussing the San Jose scale,

fectually and announce that in time the
complete destruction of all the fruit
trees in that section of the country is

J. K. Allen received his first shipment
of peonies from the south on Saturday,
May 12, and has been disposing of an
average of 2,000 daily. The stock is
now in all the wholesalers' boxes and
some of it is of superb quality.

The New York Cut Flower Co. closes

Very many of the leading wholesalers
will join in this humanitarian movement.

May 15 Gustav C. Schroeder lost his
daughter, 4 years of age, and the sym-
pathy of the' trade is extended.

Mr. and Mrs. Reed, of Reed & Keller,
will sail June 12 for Europe on an ex-
tensive business and pleasure trip. Mr.
Keed has been in the florists' supply
business for thirty-five years. Twenty-
five years ago "Reed & Keller occupied
half of the third floor at 120 West
Twenty-seventh street. Now they have
seven floors, over '6,000 square feet, and
every branch of the supply house is
amply furnished with the necessary room.
Their additional space is now filled and
a big stock of everything, glass, baskets,
wire work, etc. They manufacture
their own stock in many lines and have
a large force constantly employed. Their
wicker birdcages and triple potholdera
are among their latest novelties. Mr.
Basedon, the oldest sheaf maker in
America, is in charge of that depart-
ment.

J. M. Keller and family, of Bay
Eidge, N. Y., are traveling in Europe.
The J. M. Keller Co. (Max O. Jordan
and John Appel) is very busy rebuilding

and preparing for the extensive local
trade. Splendid stock of Dracaena ter-
minalis, P. Veitchii, cypripediums, gar-
denias, palms and ferns are especially
attractive and splendidly grown. Mr.
Appel says, all things considered, the
Boston is still the money making fern.
He has stock of all the new and popular
varieties. The kentia importations this
year are large, but in the last shipment
the rats made sad havoc and much fine
stock was ruined.

During the past three weeks Young
& Nugent have had ten weddings, some
notable ones at Sherry's, also at Hobo-
ken and other Jersey cities. Mr. Nu-
gent contemplates an outing on the
great lakes this summer.

A. J. Guttman gained fifteen pounds
on his European trip of thirty days. He
visited Paris and London and received
many courtesies from brother florists.
The flowers of Victory, which he took to
London, kept perfectly, gracing the table
during the entire voyage. Those taken
in a box, some three dozen, were exhib-
ited at the meeting of the Royal Horti-
cultural Society and were greatly ad-
mired. Mr. and Mrs. Guttman and
family are now visiting at their country
home in Summit, N. J.

A. Wareudorff's windows are beauti-
ful with peonies and ferns.

J. H. Small & Sons have some grand
specimens of Whitmani in their display
this week and orchids again are so abun-
dant they are in every retail window.

The late summer has been a money
saver to the big department stores that
handle roses. Had it not been for the
long drawn out spell of cool weather
making planting still possible, half a
million roses would have been a complete
loss. J. Austin Shaw.

BOSTON.

The Market

For several days the past week ex-
treme dullness prevailed and stock waa
hard to move at any price. With the
thermometer at 90 degrees in the shade,
this was not surprising. Conditions are
now somewhat improved, thanks in chief
part to the near approach of Memorial
day and consequent holding back of sup-
plies. The demand for May 30 prom-
ises to be phenomenal, and every flower
obtainable will be utilized. There prom-
ises to be a good supply of roses and
only a moderate number of carnations.
A large part of the latter will be kept
at home by growers to fill local demands.
A good supply of Spiraea Japonica,
stocks, feverfew, candytuft and other
seasonable flowers will be obtainable.

Roses have moved sluggishly the past
week, many being cleaned below $1 per
hundred. The quality is remarkably good
except in the case of Brides and Maids«
The demand for Liberty is decidedly bet-
ter than for Beauty. Carnations are
gradually hardening as the week ad-
vances. From .$1 to $2 have been the
ruling rates. There are still a few
double violets coming in. Bulbous stock
is not very plentiful, some late varieties
of tulips and Narcissus poeticua being
the last of the Dutch varieties seen.
Some very nice Spanish iris and excel-
lent gladioli are seen. A good supply of
outdoor valley is arriving, selling at $1
to $2 per hundred. Temporarily there is
small demand for the forced article.
Lilac is very abundant and seems to be
in good demand. Cool weather will be
needed to hold it in condition for Me-

Qub Meeting.

E. O. Orpet's talk at the last club
meeting, briefly referred to in our last
notes, was largely reminiscent of his
bothy experiences under Stevens, of
Trentham, and other English and Irish
places, and young men of the present
day would scarcely care to pass through
similar ordeals. Both the lecturer and
F. E. Palmer would appear to have been
especially unfortunate in the class of
bothies which fell to their lot, but while
Mr. Palmer considered them unfit for
any young man of the present day, Mr.
Orpet held a contrary opinion, and said
if one of his own sons had a predilection
for gardening he would send him to
England for a year to two for a starter.
Mr. Cameron quoted F. W. Burbridge as
to how a gardener ought to be made, and
Mr. Westwood dilated on the superior
excellence of Scotch over English bothies.
Our own experiences of bothy life were
very different from those expressed by
^Ir. Orpet and are among our most pleas-
ant memories, although time would not
allow us to express them.

J. T. Butterworth 's white Cattleya
MossiiB worthily received a report of
superior merit. We doubt if a better
plant of it is to be had in America. A
plant of C. Mossia; in an 8-inch pot,
carrying forty flowers, was an excellent
sample of good culture, from the same
grower. He had other equally good
specimens at home. E. T. McGorum's
giant White Perfection candytuft showed
extra good culture. Blue Hill Nurseries,
among other perennials, had Aruncus as-

It was voted to donate a special prize

ship to 327. An attractive program is

There will be no meetings in July and
August.

Arnold Arboretum.

The Arnold Arboretum has been the
Mecca for flower lovers of late, and we
do not think it ever looked more at-
tractive. The display of mains, pyrus
and prunus has been especially fine, but
most of these are now over. Bechtel's
double-flowering American crab, with its
beautiful, delicate pink flowers, being a
notable exception. The shrubby loni-
ceras are very beautiful, L. Ruprechti-
ana, Tartarica, Morrowi, Candida and
bella albida being especially good.
Cornus florida, which for several years
has had most of its flower buds killed,
is this season white with bloom.

The lilacs are, we think, better flow-
ered than ever in the collection of some-
thing like 150 varieties. It is hard to
confine the selection to a few sorts, but
the following are very fine: Macros-

Jackson Dawson has planted out sev-
eral thousand Crataegus during the pres-
ent season and continues to raise addi-
tional forms, which will soon number
into the thousands. Some of those
planted last year are blooming finely.
The results of winter killing, so pain-
fully noticeable in 1904 and 1905, are
almost entirely absent this season. The
rhododendrons and azaleas just opening
promise to be unusually fine and the kal-
mias are equally promising.

Various Notes.

Welch Bros, are making their usual
extensive preparations for Memorial day
and will handle an immense quantity of
flowers.

Thomas Pegler, salesman for O. L.
Dorr and S. J. Goddard at the Park
street market, May 14 had the misfor-
tune to fall on Tremont street and break
a bone in his left ankle, and will need
crutches for a few weeks.

Galvin had an attractive window of
orchids the past week, which in-
cluded Dendrobium thyrsiflorum, Cattleya
Mossise, C. Skinneri and C. gigas.

Peonies are very promising at present
and a grand display will be forthcoming

for the meeting of the American Peony
Society. The officinalis varieties look
as though they would be in season for
Memorial day.

H. F. DeOraaf, the bulb specialist, was
a visitor the past week.

Oscar L. Dorr, as usual, is last in the
market with double violets. Thomas
Pegler has been receiving 10,000 to
12,000 daily from him at the Park street
market.

J. S. Manter continues to handle es-
pecially fine Chatenay roses for Exeter
Rose Conservatories.

N. F. McCarthy has just completed a
section of a new rose house at Montrose
Greenhouses, 54x300. It will eventually
be increased to 1,000 feet in length.

W. N. Craig.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market

Business among the retailers did not
show much improvement the past week.
The first part of the week was fairly
busy, but after that it again lapsed into
summer dullness.

There is an abundance of cut stock,
the bulk of the stock being of extremely
poor quality. The really first-class stock
sells well and always is in demand.

In American Beauties there is a great
demand for long, while shorts over-

stocked the market. The same may be
said of other roses. Some good La De-
troit and Chatenay are in.

The carnation consignments are large
and good stock is seen. Prices again are
down to $1 per hundred for good stock.
Extra fancy goes a notch higher. The
best varieties now are Enchantress,
Robert Craig, Nelson Fisher and Boston
Market,

Sweet peas are not so plentiful. The
dry spell will shorten the usual large
crop this season. Outdoor stock is suf-
fering for the want of rain. Peonies
and cape jasmine are selling well.

Replanting has begun and this will put
a stop to the great quantities of roses
coming in.

Plant dealers report a big week.

Various Notes.

August Eggert, on the east side, is
building a large rose house for Richmond
and Bridesmaid.

The Ellison Floral Co. has given up
the down-town branch in the Simmons
Hardware Co. store. It will by fall
be in the new store a few doors west
of Taylor avenue on Olive street.

George Windier, whose place is on De-
lore avenue, has been very sick the past
week. His many friends in the trade
hope to see him c^-^n in lod health.

looking for money, as nothing ^jvas miss-
ing, the cash being' all in the bank.

George Waldbart put in a busy week
with funeral work, a number of large
designs and several casket covers.

The iwjfists' Club sent a beautiful
wreath to the funeral of Waa. Schray,
and the club was represented by fifty
members. The wreath was made by Carl
Beyer.

it is rumored that a company is being
formed to build and operate twelve new
houses each 500 feet long, at Meramec
Highlands, and grow carnations and
roses for this market.

Robert Thompson, who has been build-
ing most of the greenhouses around the
city, has been very busy of late and has
taken a number of contracts for work
this summer.

Revision day on Friday, for the June
election, kept a number of the local
florists busy at the polls, among them
being Robert Beyer, Theo. Miller, Chas.
Juengel, A. Meyer and J. J. Beneke.

The Riessen Floral Co. on Broadway,
had orders for a number of large floral
designs the past week.

Frank Weber, of H. Weber & Sons,
says we never had such a dry spell as
this spring and that the loss will be
great among the local nurserymen. This
year the complaint is general throughout
the country. The big rain of Friday
night was a welcome visitor, but not pro-
longed enough to do much good.

Max Rotter, George Angermueller,
Rude Windt and Charles Schoenle make
a great quartette when out together.

The florist bowlers won three games
the past week from the strong Telience
team. The total score in the three games
was 2,501. Ellison was high, with an
average of 180; Beneke, 179; Kuehn,
178; Schriefer, 156, and Lohrenz, 140.

CLEVELAND.

The Market.

The past week of hot weather has been
a sad one for all growers of cut flowers,
the roses being very small and off color,
with the exception of Kaiserin, which is
coming into the Cleveland Cut Flower
Co. in fine condition. Carnations in
many eases were asleep before night, and
it kept the wholesale houses busy getting
good stock for shipping orders. Quoted
prices remain about the same as last
week, but a large majority of the stock
went to the street merchants, at job-lot
prices.

Various Notes.

C. W. Griffin is having all he can do
to fill the orders coming to him for the
Sabin adjustable plant stand, of which
he is the manufacturer.

Mr. Bartelles, formerly with the Gas-
ser Co., has rented the Essex greenhouses
in Dover, and will grow for the Cleve-
land market. C.

WEST GROVE, PA.

West Grove is to have another green-
house plant. Green Bros, will erect three
houses 14x96, also a mushroom house.
They will grow mums and carnations.

Eoney Bros, will add two new houses,
size 22x90, for carnations. This move
was found necessary to accommodate
their increased plant trade in forcing to-
matoes, carnations, geraniums, coleus,
etc. Two houses of their own strain of
Lorillard tomato, just ripening, are a
sight to see.

Savoy leaf spinach is reported scarce.

^EED corn, both sweet and field, seems
to be in oversupply.

The onion set fields in all localities
are suffering from lack of rain.

Visited Chicago: — Geo. C. Thomson,
Boston; S. Y. Haines, Minneapolis.

The San Francisco seedsmen rapidly
are getting in shape for business.

Radish for seed crops in the Michigan
district is being planted and conditions
are favorable. The usual acreage will be
seeded.

Eeports from Canada state that the
spring has been backward and the pea
crops are far behind, with the outlook
for a good stand not encouraging.

Geo. C. Thomson, formerly with E. &
J. Farquhar & Co., Boston, evidently de-
cided that Philadelphia would be too
strenuous a town for him; he did not as-
sume the management of H. F. Michell's,
as contemplated.

In considering the protest of T. W.
Wood & Sons against the assessment of
duty at Richmond, Va., the board of gen-
eral appraisers followed the ruling re-
lating to vetch seed published in full in
the Review of May 3.

The Chas. H. Lilly Co., Seattle, whose
San Francisco branch was destroyed, has
established temporary headquarters at
Oakland, with stock from the stores at
Portland and Seattle. They lost every-
thing at San Francisco.

From Wisconsin come very favorable
reports as to conditions in the pea fields.
The majority of the farmers have a good
stand and the early start that was ob-
tained in many of the fields augurs well
for the future good of these crops.

The vine seed and corn growers of
the west are making strong efforts to get
closed upon the coming year's contracts
to supply the trade. Reports from the
seat of war are that they are all in the
best possible shape to take care of the
business.

Dry weather is causing considerable
complaint from the planters. The seeds-
man has to reply to those who complain
in a statesmanlike manner. It is
thought by many that the seedsman is as
good a diplomat as the diplomats are
seedsmen.

The country merchants who handle
seeds are feeling better than they did a
month ago. The travelers report that
now it is easier to get them interested in
a supply of seeds for the coming year's
trade. Spring trade was slow in opening
with them and it looked as though a
considerable quantity of tlie standard
varieties of seeds would be carried over
by them. The fact that this class of
seed buyers are now in the optimistic
class is a big help to the trade.

EMERSON SEEKS RELEASE.

Frank T. Emerson, of Fremont, Neb.,
has applied for discharge in bankruptcy
in the U. S. District Court at Omaha,
Neb. The amount of liabilities sched-
uled approximates $140,000. Mr. Emer-
son has been compelled to take these
proceedings owing to the judgments ob-
tained against him as a partner of Phil
Stimmel, who failed in busimsss in Janu-
ary, 1893.

Mr. Stimmel at that time conducted a
general line seed business individually
and in connection witii same a seed-
growing business in which specialty Mr.

Mat 24, 1906.

The Weekly Florists' Review.

Emersoii was a partner and of which he
was the general manager. To satisfy an
indebtedness contracted by Mr. Stimmel
personally in connection with his own
individual business the Omaha National
Bank attached and sold at sheriff's sale
the entire stock of seeds, including those
belonging to the partnership of Stimmel
A Emerson. This action was bitterly
opposed by Mr. Emerson at the time and
resulted in a damage suit against the
bank for the benefit of the creditors,
which at the expiration of a ten years'
litigation was decided in favor of the
bank and against Mr, Emerson and the
other creditors he represented.

After the judgments referred to had
been rendered against Mr, Emerson as
a partner of Mr. Stimmel it was decided
by the Supreme Court of Nebraska that
Mr. Emerson was not a partner of Mr,
Stimmel 's and not liable for the debts of
the company, but this decision came too
late to have the judgments against him
set aside.

Under such existing conditions Mr.
Emerson naturally seeks relief from a
burden that was none of his own creat-
ing, but which had been judicially thrust
upon him while fighting for the rights of
himself and other creditors in the case.

DEATH OF GEORGE V. CROSffiR.

George W. Crosier, well known in the
field seeds department of the trade, died

Mrs. Orton Moulton, at Batavia, N. Y.,

falo and went to Batavia on Saturday

with his wife and was feeling unusually
well on Saturday night. In the night he
was seized with heart failure and died
before medical aid could be called.

George W. Crosier was born in Buffalo,
1839, and had always made Buffalo his
home. He was the last of the original
members of the Irving Kester Seed Co.,
with which he had been connected dur-
ing his entire business life. The com-
{)any is a considerable institution in its
ine. They handle the field bean business
to a certain extent but do not touch the
garden seed end. Mr. Crosier was a
veteran of the Civil War, having served
in the navy of the United States. He is
survived by his wife and three children,

EUROPEAN SEED NOTES.

The weather the last few days has
been all against the Enghsh seed grow-
ers, J.4 degrees of frost occurring in the
west of England. The eastern counties
have also suffered severely, many inches
of snow having fallen in some places.
Truly, the lot of the British seed growers
is not a happy one in seasons like these.

Eeports are, although they may be
somewhat premature, that nearly all
stocks of seeds are well cleared in flower,
vegetable and agricultural lines, peas and
beans being a very heavy exception.
Flower seeds have gone particularly well,
which goes to show the country is in a
better spenaing condition. It is only in
prosperous times that flower seeds get
cleaned up thoroughly. There may be
a considerable surplus of turnips, sweeds,
and perhaps sprouts throughout Europe,
but one or two seasons Iikc the present
growing crops promise to be, will draw
heavily on any surplus and a clean-out
will be welcome.

There is increased complaint of the
prevalence of dodder in clover, etc. This
would soon be stamped out if the same
measures were adopted in this country
as were in France in 1904. In that and
preceding years, clover and lucerne culti-
vation was so severely hampered that
the Government Agricultural Department
required farmers to destroy the dodder
wherever it appeared on their land, by
uprooting the whole crop and burying,
and afterwards sowing with some plant
on which dodder is unable to exist — such
as oats, etc., if the dodder had already
advanced to a propagating stage the crop

NOTES FROM HOLLAND.

Notwithstanding the continued cold
winds during the month of April, vege-
tation in the bulb fields has shown but
comparatively little of its effects. The
cold and dry weather of the first two
weeks had retarded the hyacinths so
much that the Easter holidays showed
the bulk of them at their best, and de-
lighted the eyes of the many thousands
of visitors during these days.

Tulip fields were in full blaze soon
afterwards, but, unfortunately, the very
severe night frosts that we experienced,
combined with a few days of soaking
rain, caused many of the tulip blooms to
last only a short time, and nearly all of
the double tulips had to be picked before
they were quite out, as the frost and
wet had already caused the inside of the
flower buds to decay.

At present it looks as if the May-
flowering tulips are going to make a fine
show by the middle of May or before,
but of course much depends upon the
weather, as these tulips require dry and
warm weather to show their grand
flowers in their full beauty.

The usual green auction sales in the
bulb fields are now in full swing, and
tulips are bringing high prices, espe-
cially in the standard varieties of self
colors. Of hyacinths and narcissi very
little has been offered for sale, and
prices are about the same as last year.
Shipments of cut blooms this season have
beeh very light from this country, as
the prices for them ranged very low.

The present outlook of crops is not
unfavorable, although the blight in the
foliage of the tulips has already made
its appearance, and may do considerable
damage, as now is the time that the
bulbs make their principal growth. —

CENTAUREAS.

Two very fine forms of annual cen-
taureas, or sweet sultan, are the varie-
ties appropriately named The Bride and
The Bridegroom. The first named is
white, and the latter a beautiful shade
of mauve. The flowers are very fine
in size and shape, and immediately at-
tract attention when seen either growing
or as cut blooms. There is a "miffy-
ness" about the plants, as with all the
sweet sultan type, that does not com-
mend them as pot plants, but they are
well worthy of the protection of a cold
frame for bringing on an earlier batch
for cutting purposes, and before those
sown outside can be had in flower.

"While centaureas resent anything in
the way of coddling when growing, yet
the seed germinates much quicker, and
in a more satisfactory manner, when
raised in a little warmth, but when the

must be quickly hardened off, or they
soon become weak and unsatisfactory.
An early batch of plants may be raised
for outside planting by sowing two or
three seeds in 3-inch pots and planted
out without disturbance at the roots, as
these annuals do not bear individual
transplanting. Should the weather be
showery when the flowers are opening a
garden light should be placed over them,
as the blooms should only be cut when
dry, or their beauty is not seen. These
two varieties have been introduced by
Messrs. Jarman, of Chard. — Gardeners'
Magazine.

GESNERAS.

There are numerous species and varie-
ties of these herbaceous, tuberous-rooted
plants. Some are remarkable for their
handsome foliage, others for both foliage
and flowers. Gesnera fulgens, with its
deep red flowers and large ovate foliage
clothed with red hairs, is a very at-
tractive plant. Grow in a brisk heat
with plenty of light and abundance of
moisture in the atmosphere. Use a com-

TWIN CITIES.

The Market

Business the past week was fair. Con-
siderable activity is shown by the grow-
ers, with bedding stock. The prospects
for Decoration day trade are good, as a
large number of plant orders have al-
ready been booked, particularly from
outside towns. Prices on cut flowers are
fair, although some of the dealers have
reduced their prices on roses from $1.50
to $1 per dozen. Carnations are very
good, but somewhat small. Prices on
them vary considerably, selling for 50
cents, 75 cents or $1 per dozen.

There is considerable miscellaneous
stock on the market, including sweet
peas, pansies, peonies, and some very
choice Pink Eamblers. Baby Rambler
plants, being extensively advertised by
the catalogue houses, are in big demand.
Some dealers have experienced trouble in
getting enough to fill orders. The de-
mand from the country is very heavy.
Two-year-old stock sells the best, and as
it is advertised as an ever-blooming rose,
customers in country towns buy them
readily. Funeral work has been the main
business the past week with the dealers,
the demand for loose cut flowers being
somewhat l^ght.

St. Paul.

The Swanson Floral Co. has had a
very handsome window display the past
week, consisting of several huge fancy
baskets of Pink Ramblers. They have
also displayed some of the finest tulips
seen in this section. Gus Colberg, of
that concern, says business is good, and
predicts a heavy trade for Decoration
day and also for graduation exercises,
which occur the first part of June.

L. L. May & Co. have a large display
of bedding plants in front of their store,
which sell fairly well. They have had
considerable retail nursery trade in the
past weeks. They also report a good
trade in funeral work, the demand for
cut flowers being light.

Axel Johnson, until recently foreman
for Holm & Olson, has discontinued the
florists' business. He left the fore part
of this week for Idaho, where he will
engage in fruit-raising.

Chas. F. Vogt says trade is good. He
has a number of orders for planting,
and it keeps him pretty busy. He says
the retail cut flower business is quiet.

Minneapolis.

Wm. Donaldson & Co. continue to han-
dle large quantities of stock and are
greatly pleased at the manner in which
the business is keeping up.

The cemetery associations are selling
considerable plant stock to dealers.

NEW CASTLE, IND.

New Castle is essentially a rose-grow-
ing town. Effort is put forth, to a cer-
tain extent, in other lines of floriculture,
but the main object of the florists here is
rose-growing. Some interesting statistics
have been compiled in regard to the in-
dustry :

In all there are five separate rose-
growing institutions in New Castle. The
greenhouses aggregate seventy-two, and
almost fourteen acres of ground are un-
der glass. If these seventy-two glass-
covered houses were set end to end they
would extend three and one-half miles
in length and thirty feet in width. The
total glass area is 605,000 square feet,
or almost fourteen acres. These figures
include the additions which are being
built at three of the plants, which wui
be completed and growing American
Beauties on or about July 1.

These places give employment to a
large number of men the year around and
the money which comes to New Castle as
a result of the retail and wholesale busi-
ness each year is reckoned in six large
figures. The additional greenhouses be-
ing built are ten in number, making
sixty-two which are now complete.

The following tabulated statement

shows the number of houses and the

square feet of glass covering the five

different piants, as they will be by

for stores on I'illmore street, which has

cept a little funeral work, and as for
flowers, they are at present in the height
of bloom, and can be had at any price
the retailer chooses to offer.

Decoration day orders for the interior
are coming in daily, and some of the
growers will in this way find the first
outlet they have had for any portion of
their stock since the fire. With them
conditions are as bad as it is possible
to imagine. Wagon loads of flowers
daily going to waste, with absolutely no
demand and no prospects of any for the
near future. I think i\. is safe to say,
from the observations I have made
within the past two weeks, that fully one-
half of the stock under glass is being
entirely neglected and will be allowed to
die.

With the growers of outdoor stock,
such as peas, asters and mums, much the
same course will be taken. A great deal

immense amount of labor necessary to
handle the two latter articles for the
next few months, until they are salable,
has discouraged many of these growers,

is possible that there may be a fair de-

that case it will be better for those who

although the almost total absence of
functions of any sort except funerals has
demoralized the demand for everything
except white stock. There has been con-
siderable talk among the retailers that a
few of them would locate in that town,
but at this writing there has been no in-
crease in the number of stores there.
Everyone is waiting patiently — and im-
patiently— for something to happen, they
do not know what; and until the trend
of trade takes a decided stand and the
confines of the business portion receive
a decided outline, little will be done. As
the matter stands at present, all the
large retail stores in the various lines of
trade are locating temporarily several
miles from the district in which they
formerly were stationed, and in a short
time I expect to see some of the more
enterprising florists located in their wake.

AMERICAN ASSOOATION OF NURSERYMCN.

Pres.. K. Albertson, Bridgeport, Ind.; Vlce-

O. Bearer, BocheBter; TreaB., C. L. Yates, RocheB-
tar. The Slst annual convention will be held at
Dallaa, Texas, June 18-16, 1906.

F. M. Ewer, of Faribault, plans to
establish a nursery at Park Rapids,
Minn.

E. A. LORBEER has been in the nursery
business near Gary, Fla., for twenty-two
years and says business is steadily in-
creasing.

The receipts of trees and plants
through the New York custom house last
week had invoice values of $20,786.

It is reported that D. E. Vivion, of
Columbus, Mo., plans to establish a
nursery in Torrance county. New Mex-
ico.

The old Washington Park race track
property, Chicago, is to be platted, mak-
ing fourteen city squares. It means a
good order for street trees.

On the program of the Texas State
Horticultural Society, for its meeting at
College Station, July 10 to 12, are found
the names of F. T. Ramsey, of Austin,
and T. V. Munson, of Denison.

H. M. Simpson & Sons, Vincennes,
Ind., say they are sure that one-year-
old cherry trees are better than two-year-
old for the planter. They say that,
whereas a few years ago they never sold
a cherry tree under two years, they
now have worked up a large business in
one-year-old stock.

Secretary A. H. Fewkes, of the
American Peony Society, announces that
the annual meeting and exhibition for
1906 will be held in Boston, Friday and
Saturday, June 15 and 16, in connection
with the peony exhibition of the Massa-
chusetts Horticultural Society. A lib-
eral schedule of prizes is being prepared.

THE SEASON'S TRADE.

Now that the arrival of warm weather
has brought an end to activities in the
selling and of practically all depart-
ments of the nursery trade, a review of
the season's business affords cause for
felicitation. The wholesale nurserymen
cleaned up in probably better shape than
in any year since the traae has reached
its present large proportions. Little is
left, except plum. Of this one item there
was considerable surplus. The season
was late in opening, which gave grounds
for apprehension, but a longer planting
season than usual has been afforded in
most localities, especially in New Eng-
land, and the retailers have had an ex-
ceptionally good business.

A noticeable feature has been the in-
crease in the call for ornamentals. Many
nurserymen who have devoted themselves
exclusively to fruit trees are now turning
toward the ornamental department as af-
fording the best opportunity for the ex-
tension of the business. In other words,
it looks as though there are enough fruit
trees for the demand, but not enough
ornamentals, and the call for trees and
shrubs is only in its beginning. In prac-
tically all but the newest localities the

call for ornamentals is already heavy and
sure to increase.

But the greater attention given to or-
namentals has not caused the fruit tree
department to be neglected. Greater
quantities of stock than ever were pro-
duced last year and increased plantings
indicate still larger supplies for 1907.
The prospect for a first-class fruit crop
encourages nurserymen to believe that
next season will be even better than
this. The general prosperity of the coun-
try insures a demand in the ornamental
department and also is a guarantee of
satisfactory collections.

One of the many European nurserymen
who have been in this country the past
few weeks says that it is quite apparent
that the nurserymen of the United States
are able to sell much more than they
are growing. The quantities of stock
imported each season are rapidly on the
increase.

THE DALLAS CONVENTION.

Believing that it will be the most con-
venient for the largest number of our
members, the Missouri, Kansas & Texas
railroad has been chosen as the oflBcial
route from St. Louis to Dallas, Texas,
for the meeting of the American Asso-
ciation of Nurserymen; and that the
trip may be as pleasant as possible the
following schedule has been arranged:
Ijeave St. Louis, Monday, June 11, about
8:30 p. m. At Parsons, Kansas, Tues-
day morning, we will be joined by mem-
bers from the west who meet in Kansas
City, leaving there about 11 p. m. Mon-
day. Dinner will be served at South
McAlister, I. T., where we hope to be
joined by the southern members who go
via Memphis, and we will be due to arrive
in Dallas about 6 o 'clock in the evening.

A special car will leave Rochester,
N. Y., about 10 p. m. June 10, which
will run via the New York Central, Lake
Shore and Big Four through Buffalo,
Cleveland and Indianapolis to St. Louis.

Southern members could doubtless add
to the pleasure of their trip by arrang-
ing to meet in Nashville, Tenn., and go
in a party via Memphis, joining the St.
Louis train at South McAlister, I. T.

It is hoped that all will arrange to use
the above schedule so that we may all be
together and have a good visit the entire
trip. If we have 100 or more out of St.
Louis there will be a special train which

will be run through to Dallas on fast
time, stopping only for meals and for
members to join our party.

On account of the short time allowed
on tickets sold under the certificate plan
it has been thought best not to try to
use them this year, but members can use
mileage to St. Louis, or where there are
ten or more in a company they can buy
party tickets at mileage rates to St.
Louis, Memphis, Kansas City, etc. At
St. Louis, Memphis and Kansas City
round trip tickets will be furnished on
the basis of $20 to Dallas or Houston
and we would advise all members to buy
the $20 Houston ticket, which will be
good for thirty days, and those not
wanting to go to Houston can have their
tickets validated at Dallas for return.
We expect to have a delightful trip of
three days to Houston, Galveston and
San Antonio, the Houston trip costing
nothing extra on these tickets, the San
Antonio trip only $3 and the Galveston
trip only $1 extra. On the return trip
from Dallas we will have the opportunity
of changing our route so as to pass
through Oklahoma City and Kansas City,
stopping at these points as well as other
places for any side trips we may want to
make within the thirty-day limit.

Those who wish to secure berths from
St. Louis to Dallas should notify me at
once how many berths are wanted and
send $4 per berth for Pullman and $2
per berth for tourist cars and I will
have same reserved. The regular rate
for berths from St. Louis to Dallas is
$5 for Pullman and $2.50 for tourist
cars, but we hope by having applica-
tions in early and making up car-loads
to be able to charter the cars so as to
make a saving of $1 or more per berth
on the Pullman and 50 cents or more
on the tourist ears, and of course appli-
cations will be filed as received and this
saving can only be made to those who
get in early with applications and secure
berths in the full cars.

If there are any who want further in-
formation, write me and I will be glad
to give the fullest possible particulars.

DENVER.

The Market.

The past week found very little change
in the cut flower business. Some of the
retailers complained of slow business,
but the larger shops say it compares
favorably with the same time last year.
The greenhouse men are very busy with
bedding and the sale of plants.

Stock is plentiful. Eoses are fine and
coming in large numbers, with quality
up to the standard, while prices remain
about the same. American Beauties are
also very much in evidence and prices
are somewhat lower, the best grade being
retailed for $6 per dozen, while some
short-stemmed ones can be bought for $2.

Carnations are good and the price is
maintained a great deal better than on
roses. The indications are that there will
not be any too many for Decoration day.
Spring flowers are coming in large num-
bers. Sweet peas, peonies, irises, poet's
narcissi and an assortment of other sea-
sonable flowers are seen.

Sweet peas are arriving in large quan-
tities and are of fine quality. It will not
be long until the price will go down,
they now bringing 40 cents and 50 cents
per hundred. Lilac is good, both in
white and purple, and sells well, although
prices are not quotable. Cape jasmine
has arrived, but as yet has found no
ready sale. j;

The indications are that Memorial day
will be observed very extensively in Colo-
rado, and already the different stores
have booked many orders for out-of-
town customers.

Variotu Notes.

The Park Floral Co. had considerable
work the past week for the funeral of
E. K. Sheldon, the popular club man.
One of the most attractive pieces was
an immense blanket of white roses, val-
ley and adiantum.

The fishing season opens June 1, and
a number of the florists have their roda
and supplies ready to cast the first line.

W. H. Grimes, the florist and nursery-
man of the north side, was elected alder-
man of the Fifteenth ward at the last
city election, May 15, by the large ma-
jority of four votes. Al. Mauff was
elected in the Eleventh ward.

BUFFALO.

Current Comment.

A chilly week shortened up flowers,
but Sol's familiar face is again beaming
on us and that marvelous power and
author of all animated nature, which has
developed a single cell of microscopical
size to the wonderful being called man,
has again made flowers plentiful, es-
pecially roses.

Most of the carnations are planted
out, and on that particular locality in
■which we are interested we sighed for a
shower to fall from the clouds on our
thirsty little carnations, and it came
copiously and gave us the best possible
start for next jointer's success. It came
without prayers, for the rain falls on
saint and sinner alike.

There are rumors that one of our large
department stores, one that is famous
for its novel enterprises, will hold a
chrysanthemum show this fall. The
prizes offered will be large enough to
induce the specialists of the country to
exhibit. It will be under the most able
management, and if it ripens into a cer-
tainty the premium list will soon be dis-
seminated.

We are informed that the greenhouses
of Joseph H. Eebstock, on Elmwood
avenue, about 20,000 feet of glass, were
purchased by S. A. Anderson. The lat-
ter is a most enterprising young man
and deserves to succeed. No lycopodium
or selaginella grows on his anatomy.

We are all glad to hear that our fine
Forest Lawn cemetery is to have a splen-
did new entrance from Delaware avenue.
For years this was the principal entrance,
but it was not in keeping with such
grounds. The gate and building will be
grand architecturally, the approaches to
it wide and spacious and the business
offices, hitherto not favorably situated,
•will be removed to the new entrance.
This will be very gratifying to George
Troup, the able superintendent, for, fine
position as he has, there is little more
ground to improve in the 300 acres, and
he sighs like the great king of Macedonia
for more worlds to conquer or more
rugged land to tame and embellish.

Henry Fishell, a Corfu florist, has
passed through a terrible attack of pneu-
monia. His friends were long in de-
spair, but he is out again, much reduced
in weight, but able to enjoy a beefsteak
and cigar. He is at present picking a
fine lot of sweet peas, not of the winter-
flowering varieties, but the standard
sorts, like Emily Henderson, Countess of
Eadnor, etc. W. S.

you as it does with us, it will prove the best
white carnation you ever grew. Despite the
variety's apparent failure in several places, we
strongly advise all growers to give it a trial,
we have been frank about its faults as developed
in other places. We doubt if these will develop
in many places.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

Mat 24, 1906.

NEV ORLEANS.

Although some preparations already
are made amoug the florists for our
flower show next fall, no final arrange-
ments will be made before the committee
confers with the ladies of the New Or-
leans Floral Association. Mrs. W. J,
Behan is the president and we all want
to be assured of her co-operation.

The first meeting of the Southern In-
terstate Florists' Association was held
ikiay 21 at Chattanooga. C. W. Eichling
was appointed chairman of the New Or-
leans delegation. At least twenty-five
of our members have already signed the
agreement to membership, the initial fee
being $1.

As the time is coming for rest, we are
thinking of our outing, which will take
place some time in July; and, acting on
that subject, J. St. Mard, acting as presi-
dent pro tem, appointed a committee of
three, C. R. Panther, Harry Ellwood and
Otto Abele, to find the most suitable
place for a little recreation.

Jos. Schindler & Co. report seed busi-
ness dull at this time. Floral work also
is not much in demand. A few good
orders are on hand for next month's
weddings.

G. M. Wichers is well satisfied with
the season, having disposed of a good
quantity of aquatic plants and different
kinds of ferns. He has been renting a
few acres of ground a short distance
from the city for nursery purposes.

Last Saturday E. Valdejo and wife
left on the Louisiana for Havre. They
will tour the continent till cold weather
brings them back to our sunny state.

Dry weather for more than a month
has been interfering with the planting
of chrysanthemums and brought business
to a very low ebb. In fact, the market
ia reduced to very little. We will have
to do the best we can for the next few
months.

H. A. Despommier, who for some time
was assistant gardener to the Illinois
Central railroad stations along the line,
has accepted a position as head gardener
at Athletic park, this city. He is assisted
by his son and a gang of workmen. They
lately have been planting a large num-
ber of bedding plants furnished by J.
A. Newsham. M. M. L.

variety on the market that can compare with it as a commercial violet,
because it blooms from September 15 to May 1, every bloom is marketable.
It has color, it has length of stem. It has fragrance. It sells when any other
variety single or double can not be given away. The people want it. So
great is my confidence in this Violet that the followiuK Autonfn I will devote
80,000 feet ot glass to the RTOwing of this variety. .

I have about 200.000 nice young divisions now ready to ship at the
following prices: $2.00 per 100; $16.00 per 1000; 600 at 1000 rate. Lots
of 6000, $14.00 per 1000. Lots of 10,000, $18.00 per 1000.

The Weekly Flonsts^ Review*

May 24, 1906.

PITTSBUBG.

The Market

We have just come through a week
that has given us a taste of summer
business. There was a great deal of
comment along this line from all the re-
tailers, as the sudden dropping off of
trade came in the nature of a shock.
However, they expect to do better this
week, and no doubt the Knights Tem-
plar conclave will help some.

Among the wholesale houses, roses,
sweet peas and white carnations came in
in an avalanche, and could be bought at
the buyer's own price, as they were only
too glad to get them out of sight.
; Beauties were as bad as anything else,
so, taken as a whole, one must call it
an unsatisfactory week.

Variotss Notes.

Mrs. E. A. »villiams' force is very
busy with the Templar decorations.

"While the cut flower dealers are com-
plaining, the plantsmen are getting in
their work. The hot weather rushed
them to the limit, and stock is going out
as fast as it can be packed. Nearly ail
say they will be cleaned up by Decora-
tion day.

John Bader's large force is working
night and day getting out bedding and
porch plants.

Ben Elliott could not keep out of the
business. He is helping John Bader
through his rush.

J, W. Glenn, of Kittanning, this sum-
mer will put up a greenhouse for decora-
tive stock in the rear of his store.
" *'*• M. Blaha, of Aspinwall, has a fine
stock of geraniums, which are bringing
him $10 per hundred wholesale, and he
does not have to seek buyers.

Hoo-Hoo.

Please discontinue my advertisement
of ferns; I have sold my entire stock.
The Eeview does the work, all right. —
Mrs. a. Duebendorfer, Elwood, Ind.

COLUMBUS, OHIO.

The Market.

May 6 to 9 we had a very cold spell,
which put an end to anything like the
business we all expected this month. It
certainly was a hard freeze, as low as
25 degrees above zero being recorded
in places. All planted tender stock, such
as tomato plants and moonvines, was
killed; buyers are still very shy, as it
was certainly a set-back to be remem-
bered. Cut flowers have sold very well
indeed the past two weeks, and funeral
work has been especially active. The
seedsmen are nearing the end of what
has been a better season than the aver-
age; orders have on the whole averaged
larger than for some seasons. Bedding
plants are having a good run; especially
are geraniums in demand, and of these
almost every order is for S. A. Nutt.
We need rain badly.

Various Notes.

The Florists' Club held its monthly
meeting May 15, with President Stephens
in the chair. Outside of the oflacers
very few were present, as everybody is
working. Regular business was trans-
acted. The report of the committee on
seeds for the school children showed a
surplus of $50 after all bills were paid.
The next meeting will be Tuesday even-
ing, June 5.

Thomas Meehan & Sons, of Philadel-
phia, have been doing some large land-
scape contracts in Columbus this spring.
Many evergreens have been used. Leon-
ard Morse has had charge of the work.

The city of Columbus is to engage a
park expert; $5,000 has been appro-
priated for the purpose. The man en-
gaged must outline a scheme for the
beautification of our park system.

The Livingston Seed Co. has been
having a sale of General Jacqueminot
roses that has been very successful. The
plants were large and strong, and at
25 cents each or five for $1, went fast.

Graff Bros, have, at 35 cents a dozen,
sold immense quantities of carnations
lately.

Among recent visitors have been Jacs.
Smits, of Naarden, Holland, and P. M.
Koster, of Boskoop, Holland; also
Frank T. Worman, of Troy, Ohio.

Zero.

Etanston, III. — John "Weiland re-
cently purchased sixty feet on Sherman
avenue, directly north of the city hall.
He will tear down the old frame building
now occupying the ground, and erect a
two or three-story building, with store
rooms below and flats above. He will
occupy one of the stores and will have
a greenhouse in the rear.

NEW NITROGENOUS FERTILIZER.

As the outcome of the desire to utilize
some part of the abundant supplies of
the free nitrogen of the air in the pro-
duction of garden and farm crops, Ger-
man scientists have devised a means by
which a percentage can be fixed in such
manner as to admit of it being used for
the enrichment of the soil. This fertil-
izer, which is known as lime-nitrogen,
and is being manufactured in consider-
able quantities, has created considerable
interest in Germany, and numerous ex-
periments have been carried out for the
purpose of testing its value. In the
manufacture of the fertilizer the nitro-
gen is obtained from the atmosphere by
parsing air through vertical retorts or
cylinders containing copper shavings and
heated to a temperature of about 100
degrees Centigrade. In the passage of
the air the oxygen is taken up by the
copper, and the nitrogen is then con-
veyed in pipes to a retort heated by an
electric furnace and filled with calcium
carbide. The nitrogen, on reaching the
retort, is absorbed by the carbide, and
calcium cyanide or lime-nitrogen is
formed. This contains nineteen per cent
of nitrogen.

Experiments have been made at sev-
eral stations, and the results obtained
from the use of lime-nitrogen as a fer-
tilizing agent were about equal to those
from nitrate of soda. The fact that the
nitrogen of the air has been fixed is a
matter of considerable importance, and
we shall watch further developments
with much interest. — Gardeners' Maga-
zine.

Chas. W. Crouch is completing six new
houses, which he will devote to cut
flowers for the wholesale market.

There has been quite an increase in

this year.

H. L. Lauscher, formerly employed by
Poehlmann Bros. Co., Morton Grove, 111!,
and who has lately been with C. W.
Crouch, is building four houses, to be de-
voted to roses, carnations and mums for
the wholesale market.

A. H. Daily is building another house
200 feet long, for carnations.

WASHINGTON, N. J.

Alonzo J. Bryan has been located here

has four houses and in addition does a
large market gardening business. Mr.
Bryan is a young man of exemplary
habits and making money. He will
fihortly build a new residence on his

INDIANAPOLIS.

Ctirrent G>mment.

Since the cool weather we experienced
a week ago, causing all planting to stop,
a warmer spell is again holding sway.
The plant trade revived with the tem-
perature during the past week, and will
be rushing from now on till Decoration
day. All the florists' establishments are
well supplied with a good assortment of
bedding stock, and can take care of all
orders.

Baur & Smith have done a larger ship-
ping trade this season than in any
former year. The small towns are using
plants in quantity, and no doubt the
trade will grow as years go on.

Martin Nelson has a seedling geranium
that is a "hummer." It is a cross be-
tween Jean Viaud and Bicard, and in
color is a brighter Bicard. The growth
of the plant is stocky, making it an
ideal beddcr. Mr. Nelson is working up
a fine stock of it.

The present dry spell is hard on out-
side stuff and many have to lay water
pipes to their lots, to save carnations and
asters. The Indianapolis Plant and
Flower Co. laid several hundred feet of
pipe to reach their carnation patch.

John Bertermann is as brown as a
berry, and looking well, due to leading
a strenuous life on his farm east of the
city. John is just commencing when a
great many men would leave off.

I am glad to report the convalescence
of Mrs. A. F. J. Baur, who was at the
Deaconess hospital for treatment. She
was able to return home last week, and
is rapidly regaining her strength.

Wm. Billingsly, a disciple of Isaak
Walton, is out occasionally these days,
trying his luck on the banks of the river.

inncli of it was in had .sliajto for slii|)-

on the poorer grades.

Street venders were very nuich in evi-
dence. The writer note<l one on a busy
corner sellin}i; carnations at 10 cents |)er
bunch of two <iozen. Keturns on these
mn«t be jfratifving to the one who grew

:i li;iit to iiidu<-e customers to come in ;
but lln'V didn't get what they expected.
The (ireeks are the main aggressors in
lliese cheap (iH'ciings.

The warm spell also forced outdoor
"■lock into flower too early to be of mu<di
use for Ilecoration day. Ttdips and
lilacs are now in fidl bloom. N'alley is
just coi'dng in and indications point to
a good supi)ly for .Memorial day. Sweet
peas are moving fairly, with tlie .supply
about equal to the demand. Hose.s

jily is heavy.

(Jreen goods are becoming scarce.
Ferns are shortening up, and smilax and
asparagus are bringing good j)rices. Be<l-
ding stock is now moving rapidly, but
there is no probabilitj^ of any shortage.
Xearly all the grocers are handling bed-

THE TEST OF QUALITY

Cypress is conceded by all authorities to be
the best wood for greenhouse construction and
quite a little has been said about the "right kind
of cypress." What way have you of knowing
the "right kind of cypress?" Can you tell by
looking at a cypress plank just where the sap
lies and what kind it is ?

One way to be sure that you get the "right kind" of cy-
press, is to place your order with a firm that makes a test
of every piece before shipping and employs an extert to
detect cypress defects. Send for "Why Use Cypress" and
"The Mummy's Case."

Next week — "The Test of Workmanship."

Why Don t
You Oct Ready

for fall before fall gets ready for you ? You
know exactly what you need done to your
plant factory, better now than you Will then.
By that time a lot of things will slip your
mind, so by all means, overhaul the boiler
and piping now. Last fall every one wanted
their boiler shipped about the 8am,e day —
Now, we can't promise that sort of thing.
We simply took care of orders the best pos-
sible— and there were some who felt they
were held up too long — and they were, but
you can't blame us simply because florists
want "Bumham" Boilers.

9ire t«r»v«lB 3 tlmeB length of boiler,
the boiler atid not up the chimney.

We keep the heat In

But we do blame you when you blams us for
things you are to blame for— and one oX those
things is putting off till then what you ahomld
do now.

CARNATION NOTES.-W5ST.

Growing Gtnutions Indoors.

If you grow any of your carnations in-
doors through the summer, you should
look after them closely right along.
There are several good ways of handling
them, and the method to follow will de-
pend on the nature of your business. If
you grow only a few benches this way,
and you do not need the room for other
plants, when you have planted your
young stock in the field you can use the
vacant benches to plant on. "We prefer
to plant the latter part of May, if pos-
sible. The weather is not so hot at that
time, and the young plants take hold
readily. It saves a shifting and the
plants are more easily cared for on the
benches than in pots.

If, however, you need all your bench
room until June or July, then the young
plants must be shifted into 4-inch pots
and should be plunged outdoors if possi-
ble and kept watered sufficiently to keep
them growing. Care should be taken to
plant them before they become too pot-
bound. They should be just right for a
shift when you plant them. Some of
the best Lawson we have ever seen were
handled this way.

The soil should be the same as ia
stacked up for planting later on, and
the bench should be prepared the same
way. We put a layer of cow manure at
the bottom, about an inch thick, and on
this fill in about three inches of soil. We
do not mix bone with this soil, preferring
to put on a dressing later, when the
plants have begun active growth.

When setting the plants have a small
depression around each one, so you can
water each plant separately for a few
days. Give a good watering around each
plant to settle the soil, and after that
water sparingly until the plants get un-
der way, but do not let them suffer at
any time. A light spraying to dampen
the surface of the soil, two or three
times daily on warm days, will help them
considerably, but do not spray late in
the afternoon. They should be dry at
night.

Keep up this treatment until the weeds
"^ |«rge enough to pull, when the poil
should be broken up and leveled off. By
that time the plants will have a good
start and will be in shape to have the
Whole bed watered and a mulch of loose
material applied to prevent drving out.
Spray.ng should be reduced to once each
aay in the forenoon, and water may be
^PPiieu liberally at the roots to promote
a strong growth.

as strong and have as many shoots as

those in the field, then you can feel that
you are having excellent success.

When selecting your plants, of course
you choose the best ones for indoor
planting and put the others out in the
field to bench later on if desired. There
are several reasons for this. An inferior
plant will recover better with a favorable
season outdoors than it will inside, and
in the end will prove more satisfactory.
Then, again, you want to plant all good
plants inside because you want them all
to thrive and you don't want to replant
a lot of them and have an uneven lot of
stock. A. F. J. Baur.

HARVEYS* RETURNS.

The new trussed houses now in course
of construction by the Lord & Burnham
Co., for Alban Harvey & Sons, of
Brandywine Summit, Pa., are the first
of this kind to be Ibuilt in the Chester
county carnation belt. Harvey & Sons
started in business four years ago, as
growers of carnations and mushrooms.
The quality of their stock has attracted
favorable attention and they are under
the necessity of adding new glass. The
new houses will be planted with 6,000
plants each of Mrs. Lawson, Enchantress
and Lady Bountiful. They also will
grow 6,000 Queen. The Belle, Flamingo,
Mrs. Patten, Cardinal, Craig and White
Perfection will be planted in smaller
quantities.

The illustration is from a photograph

sort, and will be of. much interest to
the trade.

NOTES FROM ENGLAND.

There is a regular glut of roses in
the English markets; probably never
before have so many been on sale in
such fine condition. It may be of inter-
est to note that all these magnificent
blooms are grown in pots under glass.
The largest rose growing center in the
iJnited Kingdom probably is Hampton-
on-Thames, where it is no uncommon
thing for a grower to have dozens of
houses of rose stock in full swing at one
time. They are also extensively grown
at Enfield, Cheshunt and Wsdtham
Cross. Beckwith & Sons, of the Ches-
hunt district, are perhaps the largest
market rose growers in J^ngland. A
selection of varieties grown may be of
interest to compare with those grown in
the States, the following being principal
varieties: Liberty, Gen. Jacqueminot,
Catherine Mermet, Safrano, Kaiserin,
Mrs. Laing, etc. Very high feeding is
generally practiced, animal liquid ma-

appears to depend upon feeding, the
soil in which they are potted being com-
paratively poor. The object is to make
a foundation of good hard plant before
bringing under the influence of heat,
then rapidly forcing the bloom, and the
more feeding the plant can take while

under glass the more highly and richly
colored will be the bloom.

Retarded lily of the valley now consist
principally of second rate spikes. As I
predicted, the effect of last season's
jtoor crop of first quality crowns is now
making itself apparent. The selected
grades of spixes are very scarce and
dear, while second and third quality is
a glut. It is a mistake in any year,
Mhether crops are heavy or light, to put

into the icehouse anything but very
finest quality crowns. The process of
retarding in all cases reduces the qual-
ity of spike.

COMMERCIAL GROWING.

Young Stock.

The bedding plant trade is in full
blast just now, and to that large class
of florists who run chrysanthemums in
conjunction with this crop I would say,
don't forget your mum stock. If you
have not yet enough stock in the sand,
attend to it right away and put in what
cuttings you may need.

Not a few claim that it is cheaper to
buy stock than to devote time and space
to carrying over old stools. As to that,
every one knows his own business best,
but orders for stock seem particularly
heavy this year, and I would advise
prospective buyers to see about their
stock without delay, as June planting is
late enough for early and midseason
kinds.

If you have a batch of plants that
need to be planted, it is better to pinch
them back and either pot them on, or
lujt thinly into flats, than to have them
><itting around, getting dried out every
hour and becoming of small value by
the time they are needed for planting.
The tops of plants so treated can be
• used as cuttings and put in the sand.
They will do all right for 6-inch pots,
or if they are late varieties, like Nonin,
<'hadwick or Swinburne, such cuttings
will make plants in good time for July
l>lanting for late flowers.

Watering and Spraying.

The hot days are once more with us,
and the chief trouble now is to keep the
4 plants watered. Dry winds, small pots
an\l a rapid growth combine to make
the mum a very thirsty plant these days,
and if stock is allowed to dry out a few
times the black fly comes, and comes to
stay. Why flies should appear so quick-
ly on neglected plants is hard to under-
stand, but it is a condition and not a
theory and can only be combated with
tobacco dust, and plenty of it. In addi-
tion to the fly, when the plants get hard
and woody at the base from lack of
water, they never make the satisfactory
growth they should make, and the larg-
est measure of success is given to the
man who never neglects his stock for
one single day.

There is in many quarters an idea that
to spray a house with the hot sun shin-
..ig full on it means scalding and burn-
ing of the plants. This idea is entirely
erroneous, as any one can see who tries
it for himself. Evaporation is so rapid
that not the least harm will result, but.

on the contrary, a whole lot of good.
A vigorous spray all over the house sev-
eral times a day lowers the temperature
many degrees and makes life more en-
durable for the chrysanthemum, to which
the intense heat of a modern greenhouse
is a very unnatural condition.

One of the chief secrets of fine foliage
is judicious and persistent spraying. A
sprayer that throws a stream in an up-
ward direction to get underneath the
leaves is a necessity in a mum house dur-
ing the summer months.

Pot Plants.

If you are figuring on growing quite
a few pot plants this year, a good way
to handle them is to plant them closely
on a bench and grow them there for two
or three months. So grown, they take
less time in watering and will not need
nearly so much care as they would if in

pots. If a bench is not available, they
may be planted outdoors on a rich plot
of soil, handy to the water supply. The
only trouble with outdoor culture is that
in many sections the chinch bug and
other bugs are so numerous and so busy
that the grower gets little for his
trouble after they get theirs.

By pot plants in this ease I am refer-
ring to plants that are grown with six
or more flowers on a plant, not the
single-stemmed plants I referred to in
my last notes.

Early planted houses are now making
a nice start, and if the soil is kept
stirred up once a week at least, it keeps
the weeds down with a minimum of
labor. On hot days spray the foliage,
walls and paths several times a day.
Charles H. Totty.

TRIMMING GOLDEN GLOW.

Will you be so kind as to tell me, iii
your next number, what time to trim Rud-
beckia Golden Glow so that it will not
grow 80 tall and still not interfere with
its blooming? I wish to use it as a
hedge. B. P.

This well-known and popular perennial
is naturally a rampant grower, and one
which spreads very rapidly. If taken up
at once, divided and replanted, it will
still bloom quite freely, but will not grow
to the objectionable height referred to.
This is really the only way to reduce its
height and still allow it to flower satis-
factorily. Starving it at the /oots is not •
desirable, as the flowers produced under
such conditions would not be creditable.
Fall is the best time to do the traiis-
planting, any time during the months of
September and October being suitable.
Better do this, dividing annually at that
season, to shorten the stature of the
plants. W. N. C.

VALLEY FOR STORAGE.

In my letter of February, published
in the Review, I gave a detailed article
to American lily of the valley growers
on cohl storage lily of the valley, point-
ing out that the results which a retarded
valley crown gives are subject to its
selection, and especially advised Ameri-
can growers to take the Berlin early-
forcing valley pips for cold storage pur-
poses.

This letter has induced Mr. Hansen,
valley grower at the Harry Dale Estate,
Brampton, Ont., to give a controversial
statement, and to call my notes mislead-
ing.

Mr. Hansen wishes me to distinguish
between cold storage lily of the valley
and retarded cold storage valley. I do
not think it necessary that the lilies of
the valley on arrival in your country bo
placed immediately in cold storage if
you want them for forcing from the be-
ginning of January until March. This
use is surel}' a matter of comfort, and
prevents lass of time. A careful stor-
age outeide, in the sand, would undoubt-

edly be better for those which you do not
wish to use until spring.

In my recent letter I spoke only of
retarded cold storage lily of the valley,
and the gentlemen who wrote the let-
ters which induced me to speak of cold
storage valley also spoke of valley
grown late in summer and harvest.

I also said that lily of the valley with
fibrous, bunchy roots would give as good
results as retarded cold storage pips,
but drew attention of the growers to
the fact that this result depended upon
the state of maturity of such stock at
the harvest time.

After a dry, warm summer, these so-
called Berlin crowns, grown on light,
sandy soil, which usually keeps dry, will,
of course, mature very early, and give
excellent results when grown for Christ-
mas use but will not at all be fit for re-
tarded <'old storage purposes.

After a dull, wet summer, which does
not allow them to ripen in October, so
that artificial means must be used to
make them fit for early Christmas forc-
ing, they will slowly ripen in cold stor-

age and give good results when forced
during summer and autumn.

To show you this diflference, 1 took,
on April '11, photographs of some sin-
gle flowers and two boxes out of one
of my greenhouses. The first illustration
shows some single spikes, roots very
fibrous, pips of an average first quality
early forcing Berlin valley, say of the
type Berolina.

Being grown too late in the season,
the foliage has quite overgrown the
flowers, and is curled. The flower stalks
are short, weak, and have partly become
deformed. On the whole, the result is
a [)oor one. but, nevertheless, you must
admit that the roots and the size of the
l)ip are of a fair appearance, so that a
i)etter result should have come out. The
fault was that this pip was grown too
late in the season.

The other pips, with the less fibrous
and stubby roots, are of the type Polaris,
especially fit for retarded cold storage
purposes, and for late forcing in March
and April. These are grown on heavy,
loamy soils, and put under the same
treatment in the greenhouse. The flower
stalks stay straight upright, the bells
are well and uniformly set apart, the
foliage is shorter in proportion; in short,
these flowers are just right for market
use.

Now compare the boxes from which
these two sorts of flowers were taken,
and you can observe for yourself the
difference better than I could ever ex-
plain it in words, and you will under-
stand why I never would advise you to
use early-forcing valley for retarding
jMirposes.

It must ))e clear to every grower that
a valley pip producing such abundant
foliage does not produce as strong
flowers as a })ip which produces less
foliage.

Koferriiig to the illustrations, the
boxes in question contain pips of second
quality, as [ am almost exclusively forc-
ing only second quality crowns, which
aro assorted from the harvest as unfit
for export.

The illustrations on pages 81' and 83
will give an idea of the valley-forcing
• lepartment in my establishment. Both
photographs were taken just before
<'liristnias. an<l the one house shows re-
tarded cold storage valleys, while the
other shows freshly harvested autumn
crowns in flower. E. Neubert.

SOUTHERN FLORISTS' SOCIETy.

Organized at Chattanooga, Tenn.

As briefly reported in last week 's Re-
view, the Society of Southern Florists
and Ornamental Horticulturists was or-
ganized in the rooms of. the chamber of
commerce at Chattanooga, Tenn., May
22. The society is a child of the Society
of American Florists, is founded on the
same principles as that association, and
has as its object the betterment of the
trade of the south.

Those present at the initial meeting
were Robert C. Beckmans, of Augusta,
Ga.; C. W. Eichling, of New Orleans;
J. F. Wilson, of Poulan, Ga. ; Robert S.
Walker, of Chattanooga ; W. F. Hoeger,
of Hill City; Fred Grindler, of Chatta-
nooga; Mrs. J. W. Crouch, Chattanooga,
and C. E. Hunt, St. Elmo. These were
made charter members of the society
with the following, whose applications
were presented by Mr. Eichling:

Charles R. Painter, P. A. Shopin, .1.
St. Mard, J. W. Werner, Paul Abele,
J. A. Newsham, Otto Abele, A. Alost,

mier, F. L. Chopin, Jacob Rausch, John
Dobbs, Thomas Betz, H. Ia Ilivell,

Ory, Joseph A. Schindler, A. H. Schalck,

F. Rieth, Fred Ziegler, Richard Eich-
ling, U. J. Virgin, Joseph Steckler, and
Richard P. Steckler, all of New Orleans;
B. M. Wichers, Gretna, La., and Chas.
Alff. Austin, Tex.

(.'. W. Eichling was elected temporary
chairman and Dr. J. V. Wilson acted as
temporary secretary. After the pur-
pose of the projected organization and
the many benefits likely to result from
it had been explained, the delegates
voted to form a permanent organization,
adopting the name of Society of the
Southern Florists and Ornamental Horti-
culturists. Officers were elected as fol-
lows: President, R. C. Berckmans; vice-
I)resideut, C. W. Eichling; second vice-
president, C. E. Hunt; secretary, J. F.
Wilson; treasurer, Joseph Steckler. Mr.
Eichling was proposed for the presi-
dency, but lie declined in favor of Mr.
Berckmans, thus giving the new organ-
ization ' ' a president who is widely and
favorably known and who enjoys the
confidence of every one who has the
pleasure of knowing him."

The election over, the morning session
adjourned at noon with instructions to
the committee on constitution and by-
laws to report at .5 p. m.

As it is one of the principles of the
new society to co-operate with other ex-
isting horticultural societies, and with
the Society of American Florists in par-
ticular, the constitution and by-laws of
the latter were taken as a guide and
were adopted in s\ich condensed form as
to make them serviceable for the new
society. Among the eliminations are the
appointment of a botanist, entomologist
and a vegetable pathologist, also the
registration of new varieties of plants.
This work was left entirely to the So-
ciety of American Florists in order to
facilitate these important branches and
avoid mistakes. Annual conventions
combined with exhibitions, reading and
tliscussions of papers of interest to
southern florists are to . be held, time
and place to be determined at each an-
nual meeting.

When the meeting had reached this
point there developed a strong competi-
tion for the first annual convention.
The Chattanooga members, backed up by
their energetic secretary of the chamber
of commerce, put up a good fight. C. W.
Eichling, of New Orleans, brought out
so many points in favor of his home
( ity, together with the fact that New-
Orleans has furnished the bulk of the
list of members, that he finally carrietl

off the victory, promiging the members
an interesting meeting and a jolly good
time in the old Crescent City.

The annual dues were fixed at $1,
there being no initiation fee. The char-
ter roll will be left open yet awhile, so as
to permit all florists to join the society
at this nominal rate.

The meeting adjourned at 6:30 p. m.
with mutual congratulations and the
promise to work for the welfare of the
new society.

ANTS.

Will you please inform me how I can
get rid of ants outdoors? C. J. E.

Ants are very troublesome garden
pests, and when present in large num-

bers are about the hardest thing I
know of to eradicate. Several plans are
adopted. Bailey, in the "Horticultur-
ists' Rule Book," recommends bisul-
phide of carbon. This is poured into
holes six inches deep and a foot apart,
the holes being immediately filled up.

An old method of trapping them is to
use bones from which the meat has just
been cut. Laid near to where the ants
are, these will soon be covered with the
busy little fellows. The best means of
killing is to immerse in boiling water.
After the bones have • dried off, they
again may be placed as before, where the
ants are working; and with a little at-
tention to the dipping of the bones as
they are covered, large quantities are
soon caught and destroyed.

Saving Tulip Bulbs.

There are many of our thrifty cus-
tomers who think they can save the old
tulip bulbs and replant in the fall and
expect as fine a show as the first year.
The way the tulips are treated it cannot
be done. If the bulbs were undisturbed
until the Fourth of July, they then
would have the month of June to ma-
ture and ripen the young bulb that is to
flower next spring. As it is, the tulips
have only just dropped their petals when
our customers want the beds replenished
with geraniums, cannas or some other
summer bedding plant, so the bulbs are
ruthlessly dug up, just when they are
making the growth of bulb for another
year. If you attempt to save the bulbs
for another year, leave the tops entire.
Cut nothing away, and store them where
they will be dry, but in the shade.

An amateur in our city, who has a
large garden of splendid late tulips,
was asked if he disturbed his tulips
often. He replied that he only dug
them once in three years, and if the
ground is good I think that is good ad-
vice, and they then should be dug only

in September, when the bulb is perfectly
dormant.

Late Tulips Profitable.

A bed of late tulips would pay any
florist who has the ground to spare. The
early varieties that force so well make
a gorgeous show in the month of May,
but are over and gone before Memorial
day. The late varieties, like the Parrot
and Gesneriana, are in their prime at
that important floral day. Most of the
late tulips are very inexpensive, and it
would not cost much to plant half an
acre. All the labor would be to keep
the ground free of weeds and give a
good dressing of manure every fall, and
every third or fourth year Uft, divide
and replant.

. Planting a BccU

Yearly I have something to say about
how to plant a flower bed, say of zonal
geraniums, cannas or any other flower-
ing plants. Most of the flower beds we
are asked to plant are rounded up. This
may be all right for appearance, but it
certainly is not healthy for the plants,
for a shower, or even a heavy rain, has

little chance to penetrate the soil, but
washes off to the edges. Even with a
hose you have to water a long time to
get the moisture where it will do good.

Make liberal holes and set the plants
in position, putting in only soil enough
around the balls to keep the plants in
position. When all are planted get the
hose and fill copiously each hole the
plants are sitting in. Not only will you
be thoroughly watering the roots, but
the adjacent soil will be soaked, from
which the roots can absorb moisture for
a long time.

After the water has soaked away it
takes only a few seconds to fill the holes
with dry soil. This can be done quickly
with a rake and the dry soil acts as a
mulch and does not bake, as it would
if you watered on the surface. If sim-
ply put into the ground, and two weeks
of dry weather set in, the roots roast
and perish, leaves turn yellow, and it's
a poor start. This method takes a little
more time, but what is that compared
to the welfare of the plants the whole
summer ?

Hose vs. Hoe. '

There is much harm done in the gar-
den by the senseless use of the hose.
Seldom do the zonal geraniums 'need any
artificial watering. The finest I have
ever seen never had a drop but what
fell from the dov "s, except that first
thorough watering Plants with large
foliage, like Qann' ■ and caladiums, will
take lots of watei. Some small plants,
like pansies and verbenas, must be
watered in dry times, and dahlias enjoy
a soaking occasionally, but this promis-
cuous sprinkling every evening, just suffi-
cient to bake the surface, is not only
useless, but an actual injury. If you
can thoroughly soak a flower bed once
a week, in the absence of rain, and then
be sure to hoe the next day, you have
done some good, but if you can't find
time to hoe, then don't water. Hoeing,
or keeping the surface loose and porous,
is of far more importance than water-
ing.

Plant Plenty Mums.

In a week's time you will be over the
rush and have an opportunity to attend
to some important work at home. Get-
ting the chrysanthemums on the bench
will be one of the first jobs. There is

say, plant lots of the good market vari-
eties. Chrysanthemums would be very
unprofitable if they occupied the benches
until Christmas, but they don't. They
are out of the way before you want the
space for lilies, azaleas and much other
stock.

We had thousands of flowers go to
waste last fall because they did not sell,
but of Ivory and Appleton, Nagoya and
Alice Byron we ran short. I don't want
to say anything against the beautiful
novelties, for it is most fascinating to
see them develop, but costly experience
has taught us that you only want a few
of the exhibition varieties and thousands
of those mentioned, also Maud Dean,
Mrs. Weeks, Golden Wedding, Major
Bon naff on, etc. Australia has raised
wonderful chrysanthemums, but it seems
to me that America is still to the front
with the best commercial varieties, and
please remember to have at least half
of all your crop white. The demand for
white last fall was very marked, for
funeral bunches. They were in great
demand, and for this the Ivory type of
flower is unequaled. It is the right
size and the right form. While some
varieties should be on the bench by the
middle of May, there is time for many
until the first of July.

Azaleas Outdoors.

The azaleas that were unsold at Eas-
ter, if given a warm house and plenty
of syringing, will have a young growth
and should now be plunged outdoors in
the full sun. Put them in a frame of
boards. Even if the boards are only six
inches high, it holds the plunging ma-
terial in place, and the tidy appearance
is worth something to you. For a
plunging material refuse hops ia un-
equaled, and when fall comes the hops
are a most valuable ingredient for . pot-
ting soil, especially for the nephrolepis
ferns. If you don't have that, then
stable litter will do.

Choose a place for your frames where
water will not stand after heavy rains,
or the copious watering and syringing
that the azaleas need daily. Let the
plunging material be up to the rims of
the pots, or drying out will occur too
often. Don't plunge the azaleas too
closely together, for thev grow a good
deal during summer. There should be
daylight between each plant, for you
want to get at them with the hose to
keep down mealy bug, thrip and red
spider.

I will say here that the best flowered
plants we have for Easter are the plants
we have carried over summer. Strange,
but they are not suited for Christmas
forcing, but at Easter they are grand,
and there are some varieties, such as
Bernard Andre and Bernard Andre alba,
that are unsatisfactory the first winter
after importing, but are grand the sec-
ond winter. Now, the greatest danger
to these azaleas is neglect of watering.
In July and August once a day is often
not sufficient. They need water every
evening and maybe again the next noon.

There was a time when I delighted to
get into rubber boots and water my
frames In the cool of the evening, but
since I joined the union I am not al-
lowed to work after 5:30 p. m. When
a man will take as keen delight in re-
freshing his thirsty plants as he did in
going to a circus when a lad, he is
pretty near a gardener, and if he has
not some serious failings he will make
good.

By the first part of July these azaleas
will liave grown and will need more
room, and while moving them put an
inch of cow manure, rather fresh, on the
surface of the soil in the pots. You
will see a noticeable deepening of the
* color of the foliage and it will also be
a mulch to prevent drying out. There
is nothing more to do all summer except
that some strong growths will start from
some varieties. Where this occurs they
can be pinched back. Bemove the
plants to a cool house before any danger
of frost.

Other Stock.

The Acacia armata and metrosideros,
which you shortened back after Easter,
can be treated the same as azaleas and
will do well plunged in frames.

Plant out bouvardia now, about fif-
teen inches apart. Choose a light, sandy
soil that has been manured. You must
not lose any roots when lifting in Sep-
tember, which you will do if the soil is
heavy, and also plant out Stevia serrata
two feet apart in a light soil. We never
have too much of it.

FISCHER'SIPURITY FREESIA.

Last year Budolph Fischer, Great
Neck, L. I., offered under the name of
Purity a new and particularly free-
flowering freesia, evidently developed
by long selection from the commercial
Freesia refracta, so extensively grown
by florists for winter bloom. Corms
were procured in August, says the Rural
New Yorker, and potted up about the
end of the month, placing three each
in 6-inch pots of rich but very light
compost. The pots were kept outside,
exposed to the weather until frost
threatened, receiving no care further
than weeding and regular watering.
Sprouts appeared in November after
housing under glass in an average tem-
perature of 60 degrees, and the plants
grew so vigorously that at blooming
time in January they were over twenty
inches high, with many branching flower
scapes. The three plants in the best
pot opened 218 perfect blooms, and
none fell below 195 blooms to the pot.
Some of the best branches had eleven
fine blooms, though the average freesia
does not often bear more than five or
six to a branch or axis. The individual
flowers were large, well-rounded and of
a very good white color, with scarcely a
trace of the common and objectionable
yellow in the throat. The fragrance was
pleasing, but much fainter than in most
florists' freesias. The strong growth
and extreme abundance of bloom make
this a very desirable variety, though it
is scarcely as pure in coloring, nor as
richly fragrant, as best strains of the
usual type. The originator says that
Purity may be grown to cut stems two
feet long. The effect of the long sprays
of graceful blooms is very pleasing.
There is little doubt concerning the
value of this fine new freesia for green-
house use.

WATSONIA ARDERNEI ALBA.

Speaking of Watsonia Ardernei alba
an English firm says: "It is very
strongly recommended to practical high-
class florists for wreath and bouquet
work; the choicest flower for best work;
the purest white flower in cultivation;
as easily grown as a gladiolus, lasts

florists, quite superseiling the single
white azalea for cut flower work; re-
quires very little attention antl is very
easily flowered, yet commands the very
highest market prices, and the demand
for cut spikes is always greater than
the supply. Another very inijMrtant
point is that the bulbs grow and increase
well. The beautiful snow-white flower,
purer than the purest, strongly appeals

to large 'cut' growers, and the Amer-
ican, Belgian, l)ntch, south of France
and Channel Island growers should give
this very valuable acquisition a liberal
and careful trial. All our clients who
bought a few bulbs to try last year have
ordered a larger stock this peason. All
provincial florists who cut for orders as
required, should undoubtedly have a
supply. ' '

CARRYING STOCK OVER.

During the last few weeks, I have re-
ceived several inquiries as to the best
method of carrying stock over a second
season, anil as the time is approaching
when preparations should be commenced
if this method of culture is to be
adopted, a few timely hints may be of
some interest.

This method of culture is becoming
more popular every year, and from the
success attained by many of the most
promi'nent growers during the past few
seasons there is little doubt but that it
will become more popular still, as we
master the intricacies of this method.
During the early spring 1 had the pleas-
ure of visiting some of the larger estab-
lishments where this method was in
vogue. Some of the stock was even in its
fourth year, and the results obtained
were grand. Some houses of Liberty in
their fourth year were the finest of that
variety 1 have ever seen, and these in
solid benches, too. The Brides and
Maids which were subjected to this
method certainly produced some wonder-
fully handsome blooms, with stems three
and one-half feet long, strong, stiff" and
erect, with foliage that could not be
surpassed.

To derive the full benefit from this
method of culture, preparations should
be commenced in June or early in July,
so that the plants may not have their
growing season curtailed. This is fre-
quently delayed till late in the fall or
until the young stock commences to give
a crop, leaving no time for the stock to
get into cropping condition before the
dark weather commences. This, meta-
phorically speaking, gives this method
of culture a black eye, as it requires
from three weeks to a month, accord-
ing to the weather between the time of
giving them a rest and starting them up
again.

By gradually reducing the supply of
water to the roots, they will begin to
ripen both wood and foliage, and stop
makinjEf nt>w wood. While this is being
done; the houses must be thoroughly ,

ventilated both night and day, and the
temperature kept as near 56 degrees at
night as the season will permit. The
syringe nuist also be kept going as fre-
quently as before, because allowing the
foliage to become a prey to red spider
does not in any way help the ripening
process, and has a very weakening effect
on the plant, by abruptly checking root
action. Yet, how often do we see a
house during this stage entirely neglected
in this respect!

The soil in the bench must not be al-
lowed to become so dry as to cauMe tt-e
young wootl to wilt or to cause the plants
to shed their leaves. If the plants are
on table benches and the weather is
warm and bright, the ripening process
may be completed in three weeks, if in
solid benches it will require from a week
to ten days longer, even in the brightest
kind of weather. RiBKS.

AMERICAN TULIPS.

It is only a question of time when
America will produce a considerable pro-
portion of the bulbs now imported from
Holland for forcing apd outdoor plant-
ing. It has been fully demonstratetl that
good bulbs can be grown in the county
of Whatcom, in the state of Washington,
where the work of Georgs Gibbs and sev-
eral other growers has been attended by
signal success. It only remains for the
commercial features of the industry to
be developed and established upon a
profitable basis.

The accompanying illustration is from
a photograph of macrospeila tulips from
bulbs grown by Mr. Gibbs and flowered
on his grounds this season. He reports
phenomenal increase in tulip bulbs
planted and not moved for three yenrs.
Not only do tulips thrive under the soil
and climatic conditions in Whatcom
county, but hyacinths, narcissi, crocus,
candidums and many other things give
quick results in bulbs of a quality not
ex<;elleil elsewhere. Mr. Gibbs is the
pioneer bulb grower of western America.
He has been at it fourteen years and
has a splendid location, less than a mile
from the Clearbrook railroad station.
He several times has sent exhibits of

American bulbs to the S. A. F. conven-
tion, and these have afterward been
tested by experienced growers. To the
Omaha convention in 1898 Mr. Gibbs
sent a collection of his products, when
he had been at the work only six years,
to which the judges, E. G. Hill, Robert
Craig and Wm. Scott, awarded a silver
medal with the following comment:

' ' The exhibits include three varieties
of narcissus, two of iris, one of Eoman
hyacinth, six of Dutch hyacinth, t<vo of
crocus, four of tulips, and Lilium candi-
dum. The bulbs are all of very fine
quality, being solid, heavy, and well
ripened and in size comparing favorably
with first-class Holland-grown stock. The
Lilium candidum deserves special men-
tion, as the bulbs are the largest and
finest ever seen by your committee. The
whole exhibit is extremely interesting
and valuable as indicating the possibili-
ties of bulb culture in some sections of
our country."

Speaking of this same exhibit at the
Ashevillc convention Mr. Scott said in
part : ' ' The amount he grows on a small
area is simply enormous. T assure jou,
gentlemen, that you hardly would have
recognized the bulbs he sent as hyacinths.
I weighed one and found it to weigh
two and a half times as much as an ordi-
nary hyacinth would weigh. But the ex-
traordinary thing was the Lilium candi-
dum ; it was really prodigious ; and we
could see by the matured and cut-oti"
stems that it did have four large
spikes. "

Oreenhoose Heating.

VACUUM SYSTEM OF HEATING.

[A trjnopsis of a paper by Frank A. Slmonds,
Grand Itaplda, Mich., read before the Detroit
Iflorlsts' Club, March 21, 1906.]

Heatiog by Hot Water.

In deciding the question of heat for
greenhouse work there are four different
systems that may be considered. But
of these only two are in general use,
steam and hot water. The latter is used
either under natural or forced circula-
tion, and gives very satisfactory results,
even with gravity circulation, although
necessitating, as a general thing, sinking
the heater below the ground level, which,
aside from the expense, has disadvan-
tages in hot being as convenient as if
it were on the common level. This
gravity circulation is also very slow.
Another point that is often ignored in
such a system, and usually to avoid first
cost in installing, is in running the mains
too small to secure the best results. Such
is only natural, as the excessive size of
the mains for such a system increases
the cost at an alarming rate.

When such a system Ls installed prop-
erly, and is not too extensive, fairly
good results are obtained when a uni-
form artificial heat is needed.

Should it be necessary, however, to in-
crease or decrease the temperature on
short notice this system is too slow to
respond, as the large amount of water
contained in the system requires con-
siderable time to absorb, from the fur-
nace located quite a distance awjiy, heat
sufficient to increase its temperature all
through the system, while it, at the same
time, is radiating heat through its long
lines. The reverse is true in case the
weather moderates rapidly, or the sun
breaks through the clouds and showers

Macrospeila Tulips from Bulbs Grown in America.

considerable warmth through the glass.
It is surprising how long thi» volume
of wateif will retain its heat after all is
done to check the fires or the valves
closed to stop the circulation.

Again, in exceptionally cold weather,
with high winds and the thermometer
outside going way below what was con-
templated when the system was installed,
and the radiation estimated for, and an
extra amount of heat is required to meet
such conditions, it is found impossible
to increase the temperature beyond a
point below that of boiling water, which
limits the maximum temperature.

Forced Circulation.

With the forced circulation of hot
water, while the boiler can be placed on
the ground level and the mains can be
made smaller and the circulation in-
creased beyond the limits of the gravity
circulation, the same objections are open
to the slow change possible in the tem-
perature. The mains being smaller and
containing a smaller volume of water to
heat or cool reduces this objection to
that extent. At the same time, although
the water may be kept at a high velocity
in the system, on account of its volume
it will heat or cool very slowly, and the
circulation is unable to compensate for
this. The result is that it will be too
slow under the varying conditions to
meet the requirements.

I do not want it understood that I
mean to imply that the heat in the water
cannot be utilized to a better advantage
with the forced circulation than without
it, as 1 agree with the advocates of this
system in this. But 1 do contend, and
I believe all must agree with me, that it
takes longer to heat a large body of

water than a small one; and even with
the smaller mains and less amount of
water in the system the rise in tempera-
ture is slow, when required in a limited
time. When not needed, even if the cir-
culation is stopped entirely, it will re-
main hot much longer than desired, es-
pecially if other outside influences are
giving all the heat demanded without
requiring any artificial heat.

Steam Most Flexible.

While steam heat has been used with
a greater or less degree of satisfaction,
according to the plan under which it has
been installed, it is certainly the most
flexible and easily controlled heating
medium yet considered. The ordinary
gravity return system usually employed
is, if put in properly, a very good sys-
tem, although open to the same objection
of the low setting necessary for the
boiler, or a trap system for returning
the water of condensation. There is also
the trouble of the coils becoming air or
water bound.

The steam heat usually carried in such
a system, being considerably above the
atmospheric pressure, is often more than
is necessary in moderate weather. One
of the principal objections is that a coil
must be full of steam, or entirely shut
off. If an attempt is made partially to
fill the coil with steam in order to mod-
erate the heat, that coil gradually will
fill with water from the condensation
remaining in it, or with water from
other parts of the system backing up
into it.

While the heat can be increased to a
certain point above boiling water, ac-
cording to the pressure carried, there is
still a limit to this, as if carried beyond

'•*■ ■yyi'y '■■.'■,•- I

86

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

Mat 31, 1906.

this pressure limit trouble is encoun-
tered in returning the water to the
boiler.

It is, however, necessary to have a
temperature of 212 degrees in the heat-
ing coils under this system in order to
free the system from air, which must be
forced out against the atmosphere. Thia
temperature is often more than required,
but cannot be reduced without entirely
shutting off.

One very strong point in favor of
steam heat is that in case of overheating,
or when artificial heat is not needed, the
system will cool down in a very short
time after steam is shut off.

A Perfect System.

From these analyses of hot water and
gravity steam there are good and bad
points to be found in each. "While water
can be used through a wide range of
temperature and is flexible to the ordi-
nary demands of outside temperature, it
is slow to respond to emergencies. Steam
will respond quickly to urgent demands,
but has no very wide range of tempera-
ture.

A perfect system of heating, one that
will conform to the requirements of flexi-
bility and demand, and that will secure
practically a uniform temperature, must
necessarily combine the most important
points of these two systems and be free,
as far aa possible, from their objection-
able features.

After making a study of heating sys-
tems for several years, I feel that
vacuum steam heating and automatic
heat regulation combine, as nearly as
possible the best elements of the two
systems above described. Through them
are secured the economy, flexibility and
quick action necessary to conform to
the demands and conditions of green-
house heating.

The Vacuum System.

As may be learned from any steam
table in a text-book, water will boil or
vaporize at 212 degrees at the sea level
and at atmospheric pressure, and at 98
degrees in a perfect vacuum. It follows
that if confined in a vacuum of any de-
gree water will boil at a corresponding
temperature.

In the ordinary vacuum heating sys-
tem the steam, after condensation in an
ordinary radiator or coil, is discharged
as water from that coil through a

vacuum valve that is supposed only to
allow the water of condensation and air
to escape. This discharge is into a par-
tial vacuum, as the entire return sys-
tem is under this partial vacuum which
is produced by a pump at the end of a
return line.

In the compound system we conduct
the water of the condensation through a
secondary coil or radiator that contains
the same partial vacuum as the return
system, and so utilize the heat of this
vapor in giving out heat to this sec-
ondary coil. With this system it is not
necessary to carry any steam pressure
on the heating system, as, when the
weather is moderate, steam at one-half
pound to one pound below atmosphere
can be carried and a perfect circulation
secured at n correspondingly lower heat.
The vacuum pump always removes the
air and water, so that every square inch
of radiating surface is heating surface.

The steam mains can be considerably
smaller than for gravity steam or for
hot water. The return pipes are very
much smaller than with either steam or
water systems.

It is not necessary to carry return
pipes back under ground, as they can
as well be carried overhead. No air
valves are needed.

In case of emergency steam at any
pressure up to twenty-five pounds (265
degrees) can be used and can be secured
on a moment's notice, as the boiler pres-
sure will be about that all of the time.
The pressure needed in the system regu-
lated by a reducing valve as required
usually is lees than one pound pressure
(212 degrees). The temperature of the
secondary coil is from 170 degrees to
195 degrees, according to the vacuum
carried.

It ia not necessary to have any coil
either entirely free of steam or com-
pletely full, as the vacuum pump in keep-
ing the coils free of air and water, the
steam valve can be opened to admit only
sufScient steam to heat as much or little
of the coil as desired.

Automatic Resulation.

I have also an automatic heat regula-
tion that gives much closer and more
economical results than are possible by
hand regulation. Also, being on guard
all of the time, is always ready to
take care of any conditions that may
come up. Owing to the quick change

secured by the steam in the radiating
surfaces, an approximately uniform tem-
perature is secured, according to the
temperature the thermostat is set at.

The sun may break through the clouds
fifty times a day and give sufficient heat
for a few minutes that would result in
overheating if the artificial heat were
used at the same time. With the auto-
matic regulation this heat ia shut off
before any overheating takes place and
remains off as long as the outside tem-
perature ia maintaiueu.

The thermostat keeps close watch of
the thermometer, and, when the proper
temperature is secured, immediately
closes the steam valves on the coils.
They lemain closed until the thermometer
shov o th3 temperature to be dropping,
when the valves are opened again. This
is constant and continues while the sys-
tem is in operation.

A RHODE ISLAND PLANT.

The accompanying illustration is re-
produced from a photograph of M. J.
Leach & Sons' greenhouse establishment
at Pawtucket, K. I. Located upon a
plot of ground over 100 acres in extent,
on the outskirts of the city and on a
direct line to Attleboro and Taunton,
it is indeed an ideal place — all that a
grower could possibly desire.

Ten modern, good-sized greenhouses
of comparatively recent construction,
comprising about 40,000 feet of glass,
with everything else about the place in
the best of condition, are under the
direct care and management of M. J. and
Edward Leach. The store, at 20 Broad
street, is presided over by Herbert Leach.

Although a general stock is grown for
their retail trade, roses and carnations
constitute their specialties. As a matter
of course, only the best varieties find
house room here — anything of question-
able behavior ia never given a second
chance. In the words of Mr. Leach, Sr.,
< ' time is too short and room too valuable
to give to experiments."

Mr. Leach is one of those progressive
growers, who, regardless of their own
wide experience, acquired during a
period of years at no small expense, are
ever ready to add to their store of
knowledge by exchanging {views with
their fellow-craftsmen along all lines
pertaining to floriculture. X.

CANTERBURY BELLS INDOORS.

The Canterbury bell as a greenhouse
plant possesses so many advantages that
all of them are not likely to strike the
man who only gives the matter casual
thought. To begin with, very little of its
life, apart from the actual flowering
period, need be spent in the greenhouse;
it practically grows and looks after it-
self; is cheap to raise from seeds; and,
can be thrown away after flowering.

I will briefly summarize the treatment
of this invaluable greenhouse adorner,
from seed sowing to throwing the flow-
ered-out plants on the rubbish heap, says
a writer in the Gardeners' Magazine, in
the hope that it may flnd a few new
friends among readers who have not yet
tried it unuer glass. Of this I feel sure,
any one who gives the plant a fair trial,
and meets with even a moderate amount
of success, will never be without it.
' ' Once tried, always grown, ' ' may well
be taken as the motto of the Canterbury
bell.

At the outset I would emphasize the
need of good seed; rubbish takes up just
as much room as plants from a good
strain. In writing for seeds, it is well
to state the purpose for which they are
required, and also to insist upon having
a fair proportion of cup-and-saucer varie-
ties. There are some seedsmen who will
supply varieties in separate colors, and
I have had the greatest satisfaction from
a strain of white cup-and-saucer.

Thin sowing in a shallow pan should
be the rule. The first pricking out
should be done when the plants have four
leaves, i. e., two smooth, or seed leaves,
and two rough ones. For this pricking
out I prefer a flat, as watering is much
more readily attended to than when the
plants are in pots. After pricking out,
the seedlings should be kept warm, and
syringed for a few days, when they may
be transferred to a close cold frame.

A fortnight in a cold frame will prob-
ably find them ready for another re-
ceptacle, this being indicated by the
leaves touching each other. "When this
stage is reached two courses are open to
the grower, (1) to place the plants in
pots, (2) to put' them out on some well-
drained, sunny border. The latter will
give the biggest plants, though not nec-
essarily the most floriferous, but will
involve potting up in the autumn. Pot
culture means constant attention to
watering during the summer, but saves
autumn potting. Personally, I prefer it,
because one gets stocky specimens, well
established before winter approaches, and
such always give the best account of
themselves in the greenhouse.

After placing the plants in 4i/^-inch or
6-inch pots, the latter size being seldom
necessary with pot-grown specimens,
stand them in a semi-shady spot outdoors
for a week or two, and then expose them
to full sunshine. If the pots are plunged
halfway in ashes, watering will be con-
siderably lessened. In such a position the
plants may stand until severe frost
threatens, when they should be placed
in a cold frame. If fallen, but not de-
cayed, leaves are packed between the
pots they will need no water for weeks
together, especially if, as may be safely
done, the frame light is kept off in all
but sharp, frosty weather.

Towards the end of January the plants
should be carefully examined, and all
those which show signs of making fresh
growth taken into the greenhouse, leaving
the others to follow in successional
batches. Water at the roots, and an oc-
casional syringing will soon bring the

Pot-Grown Canterbttfy Bell.

plants into full swing, and flowers may
be expected to open by the beginning of
May, the supply being kept up unt'il the
end of June. Liquid manure should be
given freely when the liower spikes begin
to rise, and stakes are generally neces-
sary. "When in bloom the plants should
be kept as cool as possible.

Canterbury bells in pots, equally with
those grown in outside borders, have a
second season of blooming. This follows
immediately upon the fading and removal
of the first flowers. However, as by this
time plants in the open Dorder should be
in full bloom, pot plants are scarcely
necessary. Therefore they can either be
thrown away after the first flush of
flower is over, or planted out where they
will give a few nice flowers.

THE READERS' CORNER.

Rtd Spider.

I notice in your reliable weekly that
the growers have trouble with the red
spider. Some twenty years ago, after
trying everything recommended and fail-
ing to find a sure remedy, I tried Paris
green, mixing it in solution as strong
as used for the potato beetle, with per-
fect success. Since then have had no
failure with them. I find it, also, a sure
cure for the little worms that make
brown lacework of the rose plants, for
slugs, and caterpillars that destroy the
mums; or, in fact, anything that eats
the foliage of plants. About two spray-
ings with the Paris green ten days apart
will effect a cure. I use an old-fashioned
watering can to apply it.

TROUBLE WITH CIRCULATION.

I have a carnation house 20x200 with
a No. 16 Hitchings hot water boiler at
one end and three 2-inch flows and three
2-inch returns the length of the house.
The expansion tank, at the farther end
of the house, is fully five feet above the
top of the boiler, but the piping has
never heated properly. Is there too
much water for the boiler to heat, or
are the flows too long for hot water!
The temperature never falls below 26 de-
grees outdoors, and I wish to maintain 52
to 5.5 degrees. C. C. I^.

One difficulty with the system is that
the runs are too long to be successfully
heated by hot water unless under high
pressure or by aid of a circulating pump.
Another obstacle is the location of the
expansion tank. If it can be connected
to the main return close to the boiler
and elevated to the height of fifteen to
eighteen feet it will materially help. The
best plan, however, with a house of this
length would be to locate the boiler to
one side of the middle of the house and
carry independent risers and returns from
the middle to each end of the house,
thus making the runs 100 feet, instead of
200 feet in length. With runs of this
length and an elevated expansion tank
the system should give good results pro-
vided the pipes are properly graded.

PREPARATIONS FOR PLANTING.

There is one thing that comes to a vio-
let grower more and more forcibly as
the years go by, and that is the monot-
ony of the work; more than in growing
any other stock that I can think of.
Boses are continually growing, making
a different shape of plant, and then there
are all the time new kinds coming out,
and the same can be said of carnations
and, in fact, of most of the crops grown
under glass. But in violets there is an
everlasting sameness, which even extends
to the writing of cultural notes concern-
ing them ; you feel as if you had covered
the ground so often, and from so many
viewpoints that it does not seem possi-
ble that you may have overlooked any-
thing, and I suppose this might be even
so if it were not for the younger men

As with any kind of work, if you wish
to make it a signal success, start early,
be ahead, and keep ahead. Indeed, it
applies even more to violet growing than
to work with other kinds of flowers, and
so if you have not already selected the
house that you are to use for them, do
so at once, and hasten to get it in shape
to plant.

If it is a house that has been used,
one of the first things to be done is to
clean it out. If the benches have been
used for some time, they would better
be removed; in fact, if you can use them
in other houses, this would be a good
plan, even if you have only used them
for one season, and so have your violet
benches of entirely new, fresh material.
Clean the paths and ground under the
benches and against walls, etc., and re-
move any stray weed or plant growth
that may be showing anywhere. See that
all the piping is correct and in perfect
order; the same with ventilators, etc.
Clean all the sash bars and other wood-
work and give a good coat of white
paint.

You will also want to thoroughly fumi-
gate the house, two or three times, once
before making repairs, once after clean-
ing out and once or twice after getting
the house ready for the plants. This is
a time when you can give it very heavy
sulphur fumigations, when there are no

John B. Nugent^ Sr.

who are constantly coming up, and who
are taking up violets for the first time.
We have been asked about prepara-
tions for next season and, while we have
to be always looking ahead, still now is
the time to bring to a focus what we
may have been having in mind for some
time, but not heretofore come to a def-
inite conclusion regarding.

plants to harm. And you can keep it
closed tightly, so that the fumes will
penetrate every crack and crevice, where
any sow bug or other "varmint" may
be hidden.

Do not forget to coat the benches or
borders, etc., with fresh slaked lime, and
if the house had borders in it before, you
will find it a good plan, after having

removed the old soil, and before bring-
ing in the new, to spade up the old bot-
toms cover evenly and quite heavily with
unslaked lime; then spray just heavily
enough to slake the lime, which will cook
and sweeten these old bottoms. Then,
after it has cooled off, you can wash it
down some more with the hose before
bringing in the new soil.

While attending to all of these matters
do not in any way neglect your violet
stock and allow it to become stunted, or
soft. And watch for red spiders, aphides
or any of the other things that "hap-
pen ' ' so easily. A good start is not only
desirable, but essential, if you wish to
be successful and make violets pay.

K. E. Shuphelt.

JOHN B. NUGENT, SR.

We present herewith the portrait of
John B. Nugent, Sr., of New York city.
Mr. Nugent is probably the oldest florist
in the United States, having celebrated
his eighty-fourth birthday anniversary
last month. He was born in Ireland, and
started his apprenticeship, under John
George, sixty-nine years ago, and is still
actively engaged in the trade. With his
SOB, Wm. F., he conducts an extensive
florist business at Lexington avenue and
Seventy-third street. Another son, John
B., Jr., is the active member of the
well-known wholesale and retail florist
firm of Young & Nugent, of New York
city.

RETAILERS' ADVERTISEMENTS.

The invitation to send specimens of
retailers' advertising has brought the
Review a number of clippings which are
well worth the attention of every one
who caters to the public. On the oppo-
site page a number of these advertise-
ments are reproduced. Nearly all are
good. Those which combine an illustra-
tion with a price are probably the best.
Attractive display is, of course, an ad-
vantage, but an idea is a very much
more valuable thing than the method of
display. Most of these advertisements
can be used with slight change in ad-
vertising almost any retail cut flower
business to which the proprietor devotes
sufficient thought and energy to make
the service in keeping with a first-class
advertisement.

At the very successful advertising
show held in Chicago in October a con-
spicuous feature was a large sign which
read: "If your business is not worth
advertising, advertise it for sale."
There are many ways of advertising, but
newspaper advertising is best of all.

Bath, N. Y. — The seventh annual ex-
hibition of the Steuben County Nature
Workers will be held here September 25
to 28 under the management of Henry
L. Drummer. There will be the usual
floricultural display.

It is related of a well-known nursery-
man from Boskoop that, as he was walk-
ing up Broadway in New York the other
day he was accosted delightedly by a
man unmistakably a fellow Hollander.
"How do you dot" welcomed the de-
lighted one, calling the other by name.
"Fine and dandy," was the reply, or
words to that effect, "but who may you
be?" With just a suggestion of sar-
casm a card was passed out showing the
stranger to be a nurseryman whose lists
we have all had, also from Boskoop.
And Boskoop is not such a metropolis,
either.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

Each year Decoration day is assuming
greater importance in the local market.
It now has become one of the most im-
portant of holidays, taking much more
stock than Christmas and affording sev-
eral days of fine business, at a season
when stock is usually quite abundant.
This year another advance was made,
orders being more numerous than had
been expected, with prices excellent.

The turn to cold weather Saturday
and Sunday checked production, and
Monday found a material shortage in
supplies, especially on carnations, of
which thousands more were needed to
fill all orders. The carnation is a pop-
ular flower for memorial purposes and
most houses were compelled to cut orders
severely. Prices naturally became stiflf
and on Monday local buyers were re-
fused all but supplies for the day. Qual-
ity was, to say the least, nothing to
brag about.

The call for Beauties took everything
in sight, the short and medium lengths
being especially in demand. Few good
roses were to be had, but buyers were
glad to take small anu even mildewed
stock at fair prices. Richmond and Lib-
erty were the best of the lot and in
special demand. Kaiserin brought the
best prices, although Chatenay was also
in good shape and sold well.

The peony was the one abundant
flower, and buyers took peonies when
roses and carnations were not available.
Then, too, the peonies were of good
quality, in fact, about the best flower
in the market. There is, however, some
complaint of the petals falling from the
stock which has been in cold storage for
a fortnight or so ; the late frosts seem
to have affected the keeping quality.

The Bride gladiolus sold well and out-
door valley was picked up as rapidly as
boxes were opened. Fortunately it was
in heavy supply. Sweet peas were not
nearly so abundant as in the previous
week and brought good prices, in every
case in keeping with the quality. Cape
jasmine was not as abundant as in re-
cent years, but, nevertheless, if one must
have capes he found little diflSculty in
getting them.

Green goods were equal to all require-
ments and common ferns cost the re-
tailers only half as much as a year ago.

The bulk of the shipping trade was
done on Monday, but Sunday was ex-
ceptionally busy, many of the wholeisale
houses keeping open all day. Monday
night found the market well cleaned up
on everything except the odds and ends,
like spiraea, mignonette and snapdragons,
and Tuesday morning found the local
buyers hustling for supplies.

Opinions vary as to whether the turn
in the weather was an advantage or dis-
advantage. Some of the wholesalers
who were obliged to cut orders say they
lost through the reduction in supplies,
but others consider that the additional
value put into the stock more than com-
pensated, for prices certainly were much
better than anyone expected a week ago.
Also, had it not been for the cool
weather the quality of everything would
have been much worse; it was bad
enough as it was. Taken all together,
every one has reason to be satisfi^ with
the business the past three days.

New Wholesale Firm.

Following the announcement in the
Review that George Reinberg would re-

move to rooms 207 and 208 in the Atlas
block, the space he has occupied did not
remain long unengaged. The fixtures
and lease from June 1 are the property
of Kruchten & Johnson, who will be
ready for business in a day or two.

The new firm is composed of John G.
Kruchten and O. Johnson. Each has had
a stand at the Flower Growers' Market,
Mr. Kruchten selling the cut from the
establishment of his father, Nic Kruch-
ten, and Mr. Johnson handling the
product of his firm, Johnson & Carlson,
and several other growers. Mr. Johnson
has now sold his interest in the green-
houses to his partner, F. E. Carlson,
who will conduct them alone hereafter.

There is no better location in the
wholesale district than the one Kruchten
& Johnson start in. Although the rent
has been almost doubled since E. C.
Amling occupied it, there are several
who would like to own the lease.

Grand Boulevard.

Grand boulevard is one of the finest
residence streets in the west, and where
Forty-seventh street intersects, with its
crosstown electrics and the elevated rail-
road station a half block distant, is one
of the best business corners on the south
side.

It was close to the corner of Forty-
seventh on Graud that John Muir built
his new store. The display there is one
hard to beat. Mr. Muir now devotes
most of his time to this store and will
eventually confine his business to it, but
the prestige of many years on Michigan
avenue makes the good will of the old
location almost too valuable to abandon.

Across the street from Muir on Grand
boulevard Miss Charlotte Megchelsen is
making steady progress. She has worked
hard for a number of years and has en-
larged her store as her business grew.
It still cannot be classed as one of the
largest in town, but it is a credit to her
and the windows are always attractive,
the service good and further develop-
ment is in prospect.

A Rose Nozzle.

The rose grower needs a spray with
sufficient body to dislodge red spider
from the underside of the foliage ; a fine
spray will not do the work, and an up-
per-cut is necessary. Most rose growers
use the hose without a nozzle and get
the spray by the forefinger over the
opening. To supply something better
than this Louis Wittbold set his in-
ventive faculties to work, and has turned
out a nozzle of which rose growers who
have tried it speak highly. It is a solid
piece of brass to screw on the hose.
The end is cut "on the bias" instead
of square. A 14 -inch hole is drilled
through the brass to where it meets a
similar opening entering at an angle
from the slanting end. This gives an
upward direction to the stream without
effort on the part of the operator. The
spray is made by a sleeve which slides
back and forth at pressure from a
finger; the farther you slide it off the
finer the spray you get.

VariotM Notes.

M. Weiland, the Evanston veteran,
says that the way for an old man to
retain his grip on life is to keep right
on working; to quit is to invite early
physical decay. Mr. Weiland is 70 years
of age and busy as ever. He is one of
the early birds among the city buyers,
and when business is good at Evanston,
as in the last few days, makes two trips

a day for the supplies not produced in
his own greenhouses, returning as heav-
ily laden as any younger man.

Charles Klehm says local peonies are
several days late, due more to lack of
rain than to the check of cold weather.
Stems are shorter than usual and buds
smaller, but Mr. Klehm says experience
has shown that they will develop to full
size when placed in water, the same as
in seasons with more rain.

May has been a month of low prices,
but E. C. Amling says it has beon one
of his best months; and he is looking
for a good June. In May he has handled
such quantities of stock that, even at
low averages, the total of sales has been
very satisfactory. And Monday, May
28, his sales totaled higher than for any
other day in hia ten years in the whole-
sale business.

The A. L. Bandall Co. has installed a
force of wire-workers on a new balcony
in the supply department. A finely
printed price list on wire work has been
issued.

The E. F. Winterson Co. is receiving
large lots of Mississippi cape jasmines
this week, the season having been more
favorable in Mississippi than in Texas.

Theodore C. Hanschke on May 25
opened a store at 848 North California
avenue, a neighborhood which has for
some time been without a flower store.

Mike Fink is what is called a hustler
and is doing a constantly increasing
business on Cottage Grove avenue, just
south of Twenty-second street.

C. L. Washburn thinks he is especially
favored when it comes to trouble. A
tooth bothered him and the dentist sent
him to a specialist. The specialist said
an ' ' operation ' ' would be necessary to
get rid of the offending molar, per-
formed it, and left Mr. Washburn with
a hole in his jaw and a hole in his
pocketbook, which, if not equally pain-
ful, was equally large.

Mrs. Eaton has opened her new store
at 86 Jackson boulevard. It is hand-
somely fitted up and a good business will
likely be done. Charles Balluff has
charge of the work.

Orchids are again quite abundant,
and McKellar reports them selling well,
for wedding work. He anticipates a big
run on them during June.

Kroeschell Bros. Co. reports a heavier
run of advance orders than in any pre-
vious year. All their output is built
to order. Over eighty greenhouse boilers
already have been built this season.

BOSTON.

The Market

Trade, consequent on the approach of
Memorial day, showed a gradual bracing
all through last week and during the
early part of the present week things
were booming. On May 26 very few
flowers had to be carried over and on
May 28 practically everything was eager-
ly snapped up. An enormous amount of
material was placed on the market, but
the demand was phenomenal and there
was no trouble in disposing of it unless
in the case of some lots of pickled car-
nations, which were cleared at lower
rates. Year after year growers will per-
sist in hoarding up flowers in anticipa-
tion of greatly enhanced prices and each
year they are taught a lesson which,
however, is forgotten ere the advent of
another Memorial day.

Roses have stiffened quite a little from
last week's low figures. Some choice
Beauties made $20 to $30, other grades
varying from $5 to $15. Some very
fine Liberty and Richmond appeared

and brought Beauty rates. We saw a
few nice Brunners and Jacqs from one
grower, which sold well. Few hybrids
are seen nowadays. Brides and Maids
were not of especially good quality. Some
choice stock made $12, from that down
to $3 being prevailing rates. There were
some really splendid Chatenay at $2 per
dozen, and Killarney and Wellesley of
good quality sold readily. As many
growers are now busy replanting roses,
a much lessened supply will be forth-
coming for some time. Some very nice
Kaiserin and Carnot on long stems made
good prices, the latter, of course, having
the preference.

Carnations, while plentiful, did not
suffice to meet demands. While some
pickled stock sold down to $2 and whites
were, as usual, sluggish, good ordinary
grades readily made $3 to $4 and fancies
$5 to $6, the scarlets, crimsons and deep
pinks being in most request. There
was only a moderate supply of Easter
lilies at $10 to $12.50. Callas made
$8 to $10. Very few tulips were seen
and no narcissi except some poeticus.
Gladioli of the Gandavensis type were
very fine and sold at $1.50 to $2 per
dozen, G. Colvillei, The Bride and Blush-
ing Bride going at half these rates.
White,, lavender and red stocks were
abundant, as was Spiraea Japonica. Big
lots of candytuft, feverfew and lilac
were mostly sold at 50 cents per bunch.
Sweet peas sold very well at $1 to $1.50
per hundred. Blue cornflowers at $1
per hundred were also in demand. Span-
ish iris in limited quantities, antirrhi-
nums, marguerites, outdoor lily of the
valley and other flowers were noted.

Lilac is always heavily used for grave

decoration and in spite of the heat of
the last week kept in fairly good condi-
tion. Viburnum plicatum, Spiraja Van
Houttei, loniceras, Deutzia gracilis and
other flowering shrubs were in good con-
dition and proved extremely useful. The
demand for bedding out plants of all
kinds was unsually heavy, cannas, geran-
iums, petunias, myosotis and pansies be-
ing special favorites. Spiraea Japonica,
^pelargoniums, hydrangeas and other
blooming plants in pots also met with a
good sale. Taken all in all, the Memo-
rial day trade at this writing seems to
have once more broken all records.

Various Notes.

The Gardeners' and Florists' Club
will hold its next field day on Tuesday,
.June 19, at the estates of Larz Ander-
^•on and Mrs. W. C. Brandegee in Brook-
line, where Duncan Finlayson and David
Weir are the presiding geniuses. It is
proposed to meet at 3 p. m. and after
visiting the two establishments adjourn-
ment will be made to Horticultural hall,
when the regular June meeting will take
place, for which special attractions are
being prepared.

W. H. Elliott will this season dis-
card Beauties at his Madbury, N. H.,
establishment and grow Wellesley, Kich-
mond and Killarney. He will give the
first named a trial as a summer bloomer.

The sympathy of a large circle of
friends goes out to M. H. Norton in
the bereavement caused by the death of
his wife on May 26. Mrs. Norton had
been a great sufferer from cancer for
several years. She was known and es-
teemed by many in the trade.

H. M. Robinson & Co. have had the

heaviest Memorial day trade .in their
history. They anticipate excellent busi-
ness during the month of June.

Boston's parkways are wonderfully
attractive at present. The extensive
system under Superintendent Pettigrew's
care shows a constant improvement, and
no visitor interested in trees or shrubs
should fail to visit it if in the Hub at
this season,

Hans E. Werdmuller, of Medford, has
gone to Long Island, where he will act
as superintendent on an extensive private
estate. The Gardeners' and Florists'
Club will miss him.

Many complaints are again coming to
hand of damage to carnations in the
fields by cut worms. The grower who
discovers and makes public a simple and
effectual cure for these pests will be
deemed a public benefactor.

The rhododendron show scheduled for
June 2 at Horticultural hall promises to
be about a week too early.

Eecent rains have benefited peonies
wonderfully, and the exhibition on June
15 and 16 promises to be a grand one.
Unless very hot weather intervenes to
spoil plans the dates selected should
prove all right.

In the way of choice flowers for Me-
morial day, Cattleya Mossiae seemed to
be considerably used. Small quantities
of other cattleyas were noted.

A few plants for Memorial day trade,
which florists might profitably grow in
larger numbers, are Calceolaria rugosa.
Golden Gem and Prince of Orange;
Coreopsis grandiflora, Darwin tulips,
especially the scarlet, rose and pink
colors, also such sorts as Gesneriana,
Bouton d'Or, Golden Crown and the

The Market.

The wholesale market remains weak.
There is plenty of stock, much more
than could be disposed of last week.
The retailers nearly all complain of slow
trade. A few good funeral orders
helped out, although transient trade
seems to have almost disappeared. Cheap
sales among the down-town florists have
become quite a business, with carnations
and roses at 15 cents per dozen. In
about two weeks the season will be over,
with June weddings and school com-
mencements, and all we will have to de-
pend upon will be funeral work, which
seems also slow during the summer
months.

The stock seen at the commission
houses is of very good quality. Koses
are keeping up in quality fairly well,
with prices too low for the stock offered.
Carnations, too, are holding up good in
supply and quality. Last week these
were only bringing $1.50 per hundred
for fancy stock in Enchantress, Craig
and Fisher.

Decoration day hardly makes much
difference in price, as only the cheapest
outdoor stock sells on that day. Sweet
peas are not overplentiful, owing to the
very dry season.

CLEVELAND.

The hot weather last week has brought
in an abundance of everything, and
prices have gone down several notches
and a large surplus has found its way
to the rubbish pile, even the fakers re-
fusing to hustle while it was so hot.

All the plantsmen seem to be right
on the dot with more stock than ever,
and almost without exception the best
line of stuff the writer has seen for a
long time.

In spite of the hot weather Isaac
Kennedy is sending the Cleveland Cut
riower Co. some of the finest white
roses from his sport of Bride that the
market can show. His Maids are also
fine.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market

Last week saw an immense quantity
of flowers marketed at low prices.
Bright, warm weather increased produc-
tion and transient business. The mid-
dle of the week was unsatisfactory from
a wholesaler's standpoint, but the end
of the week was much better. The first
of the school commencements created
more demand for flowers especially
suited to youth, such as sweet peas,
daisies, etc., Queen Alexandra having a
lively run.

Peonies are coming into town in larger
numbers. Some are very fine; some are
affected by the drouth prevalent dur-
ing their development. Outdoor sweet
peas are an important factor. The grow-
ers who took care of their plants will
reap a harvest, the quality of their prod-

uct putting the fag end of the indoor
grown, and of the unwatered stock, to
the blush. Wild smilax and southern
asparagus are over.

The earlier date of going to' press pre-
cludes anything but a forecast of this
week. The horse show. Memorial day
and the first of the June weddings prom-
ise a week of floral activity that will
tax the resources. There will be but
little advance in prices except on high
grade stock of a few varieties.

The See-Saw System.

It is a recognized fact that the won-
derful development in the cut flower
business is largely due to the wholesale
commission florists. They now market a
large majority of the flowers grown com-
mercially. With a continuance of their
present high standards of business
sagacity and integrity their strength
will increase.

The business of the wholesalers has
not been obtained without overcoming
many difficulties, with the growers, with
the buyers, and with the express com-
panies. Some are settled permanently,
some only temporarily. All require fore-
sight, tact, and vigilance to be properly
met. One of the most curious of these
difficulties is what may be termed the
see-saw system of shipping. It is the
playing of one commission man against
another.

Originally the see-saw system con-
sisted in sending flowers to a wholesaler
a few times, then discontinuing without
notice when some one else offered more,
returning again to the first wholesaler
when his bid went one better. Gradu-
ally this method was abandoned by de-

sirable growers. It was looked down
upon as not the right thing. In its place
was substituted the division of shipment
by which the cut was divided in given
proportions between two or more whole-
salers. This system is practiced by some
large and some medium places. It has
advantages and disadvantages. From it
has been evolved the present see-saw
system. This see-saw system consists
in dividing the product in certain pro-
portions and increasing or decreasing
these proportions according to the re-
turns. The see-saw system of shipping
requires weekly returns to be carefully
compared and used in next week's dis-
tribution.

The devilish ingenuity of the see-saw
shipping system from a wholesaler's
standpoint is apparent at a glance. Sup-
pose he is receiving this week a certain
lot of stock for which he has orders next
week, but, his returns being lower than
his competitor's, his supply is cut down
and his customers are disappointed,
while his competitor may or may not
have a market for his increased receipts.

I am opposed to the see-saw shipping
system. It is ingenious, but it is not
based on sound business principles.
Business relations wherein one individual
represents another necessitate mutual
confidence. Mutual confidence is an im-
possibility under the see-saw system of
shipping. Reliability is as essential in
a wholesaler as it is in a retailer, and
reliability is impossible in a wholesaler
who is not in close touch with his
growers.

I have dwelt at length on this point
because it is of vital interest. The evil
is small as yet, but it must be checked.

Flower.^ for the sweet girl graduate
have been the features of the business
of th'3 past week. In addition to the
large nmnber of bouquets ordered for
commencements, there have been several
good decorations executed for these
exercises.

The hot weather has glutted the mar-
ket with riowers and any attempt to
quote prices would be futile. Decoration
day will surely make a clean-up, and
with the June weddings there are pros-
pects of better business. In addition to
the heavy local cut of roses and carna-
tions, large quantities of fine blooms are
being shipped here from Pennsylvania
at prices Avhich give grounds for the be-
lief tiiat some of the shippers up there
have not yet been investigated by the
interstate commerce commission,

A iieavy shower on Sunday morning
broke the drouth and growers now
breathe more freely. All of last week
was strenuous for those who had carna-
tion or aster plants out of reach of the
hose. The writer, for one, now has a
practical knowledge of what the pioneer
florists of the country must have endured
when overtaken by similar dry spells.

It is doubtful if there is another city
in the country where Decoration day is
more generally observed than here. The
people, both rich and j)oor, find time and
means to lay offerings on the graves of
loveil ones dn that day.

Theodore Dietrich, of Congress
Heights, is sending in very fine ])eonies.
Tlie dry wfather hit ]\lr. Dietrich hard
and he was kept busy, but brought every-
thing through in good shape.

tieorge II. Cooke, in addition to com-
mencement business, is busy with an
extensive job of landscape work near
Dupont circle.

The rose garden at the U. S. Treasury
was a notewortiiy exce[ition to the gen-

The Market.

The cut flower market remains in the
same comlition as a week ago, too weak
to sit up, and content to be alive. The
growers can surely find little to com-
plain of after such a splendid average
season as the one just closed and should
be content with the memory of the past
and the knowledge that these are but a
rejietition of the dull days of every year
that precede Decoration day.

.Tune weddings and sailings and a pos-
sible short crop will lift the market
from its stagnancy. The commence-
ments, too, are already with us. Some
retailers had as many as 100 bouquets
for one popular school last week. All
seem to get a share. of this yearly golden
siiower, and tlie sweet girl graduates
grow in numbers all the time.

Many roses came in badly mildewed
last week; $1,50 would buy a whole box
of them. The general quality is below
tlie average.

Carnations still continue excellent in
quality and good stock clears out well
and at ver}' good summer prices. The
stock with many is superb.

Gladioli are coming rapidly. Lilac is
done. Peonies are everywhere. The
south has certainly made a peaceful in-
vasion and some of the stock is good
and brings very satisfactory prices.
Everybody ex])ects a good June, and
the trailo deserves it, after as discourag-
ing a May as the records of a genera-
tion can show.

Variotis Notes.

Bowling interest, in behalf of a New
York club rei)resentation at Dayton, is
still asleep. This may be a case of the
awakening of a giant when the time
comes to stir, Init Flatbush at present
is the only semblance of a florists' bowl-
ing club in this vicinity. A few of the
old New York club meet on Thursdaj'
evenings and Capt. Lang has kept up his
usual record and enthusiasm, but the
regulars of the past two or three years
never are heard from. Some of them
will come to life at the outing July L',
The tickets for this yearly reunion are
selling fast,

At Siebrecht & Son's Avhite palace the

A great deal of interest is being
taken by the florists in the discussion
as to granting a franchise to a second
telephone company, for the florists would
be among the first who Avould be obliged
to install the telephones of the new sys-
tem. The present company has 260,000
instruments and is adding them at the
rate of about 50,000 a year. Through
their Jong distance connections one can
reach over the present system some .3.1,-
000 cities and towns in the United
States and Canada. The new company
j»romises in three years 33,500 tele-
phones and no long distance connection.
The florists think its promise of a lower
rate hardly would be worth considering,
as the first service could not be dis-
pensed Avith and the ncAV would simply

be an additional expense. The comp-
troller has expressed a doubt as to the
advisability of granting a franchise to
another telephone company in Ncav York
for the above reasons, and the florists
seem to think that tAAo telephones would
be a great nuisance, as Avell as an added
expense.

A much needed rain on Sunday, after
a AA'eek of drouth and extreme heat, has
given much needed encouragement to

benefit Avas vast, especially to the mar-

RHUBARB.

Khubarb plants intended for forcing
next winter should receive attention now,
and throughout the summer, to have
them in the best possible condition when
forcing time arrives. If the plants are
exceptionally strong it will do no harm
to pull a few of the stalks now, but
unless the plants have strength enough
and to spare they would better be al-
lowed to mature all the growth they can
make and the stalks be allowed to die
down naturally in fall, so as to throw
all the possible strength into the roots.

Another important matter is to remove
all flowering shoots as soon as they ap-
pear. Plants that are strongly and
freely grown are not so apt to run to
seed as those that have been kept in a
more or less starved condition, and
where plants are taken proper care of
and divided every two or three years,
they seldom show any tendency to throw
flower shoots. But it often happens that
the division of the crowns has been de-
layed too long, in consequence of whicli
the flower bud has been formed in the
crown the previous season and will de-
velop as soon as fresh growth starts, in
spite of the best cultivation. The only
remedy is to remove the flower stalk as
soon as it can be distinguished. When a
crown once throws a flower shoot, that
ends its existence as a crown, but buds
are produced from the side which grow
to form other crowns, so the cultivator's
efforts must be directed toward the best
possible development of these if he would
secure suitable plants for his winter sup-
ply-

The strength of the plants may be
greatly increased by thorough and fre-
quent cultivation and liberal application
of manure water. The rhubarb plant is
one of the heaviest feeders we know of,
so it is hard to overdo this matter. If
wash from the barnyard can be pro-
cured, it forms the best possible mate-

rial. Any of the commercial fertilizers
that can be applied in liquid form will
do, but as these soon eat into money, it
does not pay to be too liberal with them,
or profits are soon sacrificed; still, every
application will tell on the plants and
it will pay to, spend a little to get them
into a good, strong, healthy condition.
The application of clear water is often
found of much benefit during dry spells,
when the plants are apt to suffer in this
respect, and in dry situations, where the
soil is light and sandy, a mulching of
stable litter or some such material is of
great advantage to the plants. Such sit-
uations, however, are not at all suitable
for the cultivation of rhubarb, a deep,
rich soil being what is required for its
most satisfactory growth.

THE IDEAL EMPLOYER.

[An essay by H. B. Faxon, of Columbus, 0.,
mibmitted in the S. A. F. prize contest.]

It takes but a moment to read the
three words at the head of this article,
and yet what a field of thought they
give rise to in the minds of not only the
employers but also the employees who
may chance to read these few lines, which
the writer sincerely trusts will, at least,
bring the importance of this subject
clearly to their earnest attention.

As was written by Charles Dickens
years ago, "Those who take an interest
in this tale, wiil be glad to learn that
the Brothers Cheeryble live; that their
liberality, their singleness of heart, and
their noble nature, are no creations of
the author's brain." And it is so that
the writer feels with regard to the ideal
employer — that he is much more numer-
ous in our business life of today than
he is given credit for being.

Perhaps in no better way can I make
clear to you my own ideal of an ideal
employer than by mentioning those char-
acteristics that seem to me to be essen-
tial to the great responsibilities and
cares that fall to his lot in these strenu-
ous times.

Character.

That an employer should be a man
of high character there can be no ques-

tion. I mean a good-living man — one
whom his employees can look up to and
respect. Any man whose heart is in the
right place will so conduct his business
affairs that not only his employees, but
his customers as well, will appreciate his
fair dealings, and both equally contribute
to his ultimate success. How often we
hear it said of the head of some large
house who has passed away, "He was
a good-living man ! ' ' This means every-
thing, as without this feeling of respect
and absolute trust for the one who is
the head of the firm, there is lacking
on the start that indescribable something
which should permeate the entire estab-
lishment and stamp it with the honest
purpose which there is no mistaking.

Treatment of Employees.

The wise head of the firm will always
treat his employees exactly as he, if in
their position, would like and expect to
be treated himself. He should be firm
and at the same time very just, as the
men are as good judges of right and
wrong as h6; but from their very posi-
tion they cannot always assert their
opinions strongly, as he does his. This
is a matter that every employer should
never lose sight of. He should always
render due consideration to the opinions
and expressed wishes of his help.

Another very important thing is the
stand of absolute fairness the employer
should take between customer and clerk,
in any of those differences which can
not fail to arise in every store where
much business is done. Some employers
consider it a matter of policy to always
side with the customer. Nothing could
be worse, as that not only casts an un-
just reflection on the clerk, but also
lowers the customer's opinion of the
establishment. Be absolutely fair in
this matter as in all others, for by so
doing you will retain the respect of both
the parties to the dispute, whichever way
you may decide it.

Employees^ Wa^es.

The firm that gets the best help and
is able to keep them the longest is the
one that pays its men liberal wages. In
the long run, a good man or woman can

command all they are worth, and do so;
therefore, how much better business pol-
icy to give them what you feel in your
heart they are worth to you, than to wait
until the same wage that they perhaps
asked for, is forced from you in order
to keep them from going to a competi-
tor! There is no prop to any business
house like a satisfied worker as regards
the wages paid.

Buying the Stock.

Every business should be divided into
as many distinct departments as the
special nature of each demands, and the
head of each department, being held re-
sponsible for the welfare of that part of
the business, should not only make the
selling price of each article, but should
most certainly buy all goods sold in his
department. No man can sell to the best
advantage the goods another has bought.
In other words, I am a firm believer in
letting each responsible employee work
out his own salvation, so to speak. If at
any time a department is found to be
running behind, it is then time enough to
make a change of management, but there
is one thing sure — you cannot get the
best work that is in a man from him
unless you give him a free hand.

Now, do not misunderstand me. A
good man wants to be guided in the pol-

icy of the business; he wants to gratify
every wish of his employer; he wants
in everything he does to please the man
who pays him; but unless, as head of
the department, he feels absolutely free
to work out the details of his depart-
ment, no lasting success can ever come
to the business. The head of the house
should set the policy of the business, and
see that it is carried out, but the details
should be left to the department heads.

The Stock Itself.

Every employer should set a liberal
policy as regards allowing each depart-
ment manager to keep his stock always
in proper variety and quantity. There
is nothing so disheartening to an inter-
ested employee than to receive an order
which can not at once be filled in full,
and to be held at least morally re-
sponsible for it when the real blame
belonged to the policy of the house in
running the stock too close. You cannot
sell what you do not own; and in these
days customers expect their orders filled
at once.

Selling the Stock.

In the matter of selling-prices, there
is nothing that creates such a solid and
lasting business reputation for any firm
than having what some men make

a special effort to advertise — "one
price." All goods should be quoted by
everyone in the establishment at the
same price, and the greatest care and
pains should be taken that those cus-
tomers who are entitled to the wholesale
price always get it; and the same care
with the retail purchasers; as mistakes
in price once rendered on a bill are
never satisfactorily explained.

Treatment of Customers.

As every business success is dependent
upon the good will of its customers, so
every employer will, of course, treat uis
customers just as nicely as he knows
how; but he should make them no spe-
cial price or other concessions that he
does not allow and encourage his heads
of departments to do. Nothing is worse
for the morals of any store than for the
customers to once contract the feeling
that they can do uetter with the pro-
prietor than with anyone else. Of course
there are certain things in every busi-
ness that naturally fall to the depart-
ment of the owner, but these shoulu be
more in the line of setting the policy of
the house, or deciding some very im-
portant matter.

Store liours.

Perhaps the store hours in a mercantile
business create as much harmony or dis-
cord among employees as any other
one thing. The employer who expects
his help to work all hours of the day
and night in the busy seasons should be
the first to propose early closing in the
dull months of the summer. Men and
women need rest in order to do good
work, and, while the interested ones will
take the keenest pleasure in the long
hours when they are necessary, they will
be the most disappointed and discouraged
if night work and long hours are con-
tinued when there is nothing to warrant
it. Be wise and reasonable in this re-
gard.

Vacations.

Be liberal about the matter of vaca-
tions; you obtain from faithful em-
ployees all their best energies, and the
best you can do in return is to give
them a reasonable time each year for
rest and recreation. This matter has
nothing to do with wages paid. Every
employee is entitled to his two weeks
each year, and should have, the day he
goes on his vacation, his two weeks'
salary in advance paid to him. Be the
Ideal Employer to your men, who use
all their best efforts to make your busi-
ness an Ideal One.

PROPAGATING DAHLIAS.

I have heard several complaints this
season about the tubers of last year's
new varieties failing to break, and 1 have
examined some tubers which have been
well develoi>ed and quite plump, with
new roots starting but no symptoms of
starting into growtli, says a writer in
the Horticultural Advertiser. It has
been suggested that tlio fault is caused
by the plants lieing propagated from tops
instead of cuttings taken off close to the
tubers. It is rather a ditncult matter to
explain. F do not think tliat there is
any grower wlio would wilfully send
plants out to trade growers that he knew
would be of no use for stock the follow-
ing season, anil 1 may get into trouble
if 1 say it is the fault of the ])ro])aga-
tors. i liiive had some considerable ex-
j)erience among dahlias, and have found
that under the most ordinary circum-
stances some tu))ers may fail to start in
the spring, esiiecially those tiuit are
struck late in tlie season. Yet on the
otiier hand. 1 have taken the tops off new
varieties received in May, rooted them,
and tlicy liave nunle useful plants for
stock tiu' following season.

It may be unnecessary to say that wlicn
taking tin; tops for cuttings tlicy nuist
be cut off' quite close below a jiair of
leaves; but this is one point, and the
most inqK)rtant is that the lateral shoots
whicii show at the base of the leaves must
not be cut off. I have made a practice
of putting these cuttings in without re-
moving the basal leaves, putting them
into the soil only just deep enough to
keep them firm, or sometimes it may have
lieen necessary to use a stick to hold the
cuttings in position.

When it was first suggested to me to
propagate from the tops of young ])lants.
1 certainly thought that if they did root
they Avould be of no use as stock plants
for the next season; yet experience
j*roved that they were. It may not be in
all instances that failures are caused
from the lateral shoots at the oase hav-
ing been removed when making cuttings,
but ihis is one sure cause, and with
young and inexperienced jirojiagators this
may be done without any idea of tiu- mis-
chief they are doing.

I would recommend anyone interested
to try a few tops this season, for the
purjKjse of jtroving my remarks. Put
some cuttings in without removing tlie
leaves and side laterals at the base, and
others in the orthodox way of taking the
lower leaves off, taking the side shoots
with them. J think the latest T have

Considerable surpluses of sweet corn
are reported in the hands of several job-

In spite of reports of shortage, the
spinach quotations are not advanced; the

Rochester joins in the report that
both sweet and field corns have proved

cabbage also cleaned up nicely.

The Chicago general mail order houses
seem well pleased with the season's busi-
ness in seeds and are reported to be
planning larger things for 1907.

The senate has passed the agricultural
appropriation bill with several amend-
ments, but without disturbing the provi-
sion for free seeds. The bill is now in
conference.

The department of agriculture on May
19 issued circular No. 18, publishing the
names of five seedsmen whose red clover
was found to contain from eighteen to
fifty-two per cent of yellow trefoil.

The L. F. Jones Seed Co., Grand
Eapids, Mich., has an order from the
Eoach Canning Co., of Hart, for 75,000
tomato plants. The trade at Grand
Bapids still remembers the year when
Jones had a corner on the tomato plants
of the neighborhood. It is estimated
that the annual production of some fif-
teen to twenty growers there now totals
3,f»0,000 plants.

SEED TRADE PROGRAM.

Secretary C. E. Kendel has mailed to
members the program for the twenty-
fourth annual convention of the Ameri-
can Seed Trade Association at Toledo,
June 26 to 28. The Boody house, rates
$3 to $5 per day, American plan, has
been designated as headquarters, and the
sessions will be held in the hotel par-
lors. C. S. Burge is chairman of the
committee on entertainment and a cor-
dial reception is assured. Toledo is
easily accessible and all conditions favor
a good attendance.

The essays announced are as follows:
"The Seed Catalogue from the Cus-
tomer's Standpoint," by Floyd Brallier;
' ' Varietal Description of Garden Vege-
tables," by Prof. W. W. Tracy; "Early
History of the Seed Business," by Bur-
net Landreth; "Desirable Imported

ser ; • " Seedsmen and Civic Improve-
ment," by J. Horace McFarland; "Co-

CONDEMN FREE SEED GRAFT.

Washington, D. C, May 28. — Mem-
bers of the house of representatives who
accepted the statements of Representa-
tive Gaines of Tennessee and others that
the farmers of the country demand free
seeds from the government are likely to
learn to their cost that intelligent farm-
ers repudiate their generosity and are in-
clined to look the gift horse in the mouth.

Practically every agricultural periodi-
cal which has appeared since the house
decided for free seeds has denounced its
action. The executive committee of the
National Agricultural Press League has
adopted resolutions condemning the seed
distribution practice and maintaining
that it is not approved by self-respect-
ing farmers. The committee, which met
in St. Louis May 12, directed that its
resolutions be sent to every senator and
representative and to all agricultural
papers.

The resolutions declare "there is no
more to be said in favor of government
seed distribution, as at present con-
ducted, than there would be in favor of
a regular distribution to farmers or any
other class of citizens of free beef, free
sugar, or free flour."

The senate committee on agriculture
is being deluged with letters and tele-
grams from the agricultural press, seed
trade and farmers' organizations urging
it to try to stop the waste of public
money. Action on the appropriation bill
can not long be delayed as congress is
due to adjourn by June 15.

EUROPEAN SEED NOTES.

The German, French and English seed
reports are many and varied as to the
bad trade and low prices of some sorts
of vegetable seeds, and now the season's
business comes to be reviewed, it is
found trade on many lines is somewhat
worse than usual, and some lines of veg-
etables are tumbling in price. Through-
out the whole season business in peas and
beans has been very slow, especially in
Germany, and at the present time much
money is being lost by holders of stocks.
Many complaints also are being heard
as to the Ioav germination of all sorts of
seeds. This is no doubt partly due to
the exceptionally unfavorable weather

during ripening and harvesting time of
1905, also due in a measure to the gen-
erally early sowing and bad conditions
during the present spring, causing much
otherwise good seed to perish.

Crop reports from practically all over
Europe for the coming season speak of
them as only looking moderately well
and personally I think by harvest time
this may be somewhat further discounted.
It is now well confirmed that English
crops may be considered bad.

Sugar beet, both in France and in Ger-
many, is reported as having been badly
frosted.

One of the surprises of the season is
the exceptionally high prices of seeds-
men 's samples of tulips. Buyers are be-
ing asked 40 shillings for Scarlet Due,
48 shillings for Murillo, 26 shillings for
Yellow Prince and so on. Certainly last
autumn the seed shops cleared out their
bulbs exceptionally well, and coupled
with this and the somewhat pessimistic
crop reports from Holland, many buyers
are giving their full orders at above
figures,

CANNERS' COSTS.

The canneries in New Jersey, probably
for the first time in the history of the
packing industry, offer $10 a ton as the
contract price for growing tomatoes.
The price gradually has worked up
through the last dozen years from $6 to
$8, the latter price being first offered
last season. The new price of $10 is
satisfactory enough to secure acreage to
meet the demands of the canners. Prices
for spinach and beets have also been
advanced $2 a ton, making $20 and $24
respectively. As the contracts usually
stipulate that beets for this purpose are
not to exceed one and one-half inches
in diameter, the restriction greatly limits
the chances of profit in the crop.

RUDOLPH FISCHER, Great Neck, L. I., N. Y.

Read What Some Well Satisfied Patrons Have to Say of it.

Mr. Rudolph Fischer, Great Neck, L. I.

Dear Sir:— Mr. H. F. Du Pont wants me to
acknowledg-e receipt of the Fischer Grand
Freesia "Purity" he bought of you.

I would state that we are very much
pleased. I find It to be of a very superior
Quality; it Is fully equal to the claims you
make for It. It grows 24 Inches high, good
sized and stllT stems, bearing large clusters
of magnificent white and very large sized
flowers, wlilch are delightfully fragrant— an
Important consideraticn. Growers will find
that this variety grows much stronger, with
finer flowers and in greater abundance than
the regular type. It is without doubt the
best freesia that has been Introduced, No
florist, or any one interested in flowers, can
afford to be without this variety.

Yours very truly,

WM. KUPKE,

Gardener to H. F. Du Pont, Esq., Wlnter-
thur, Del.

January 11.
MR. R. FISCHER.

Dear Sir:— Yours received, and In answer
thereto, we would say that we cannot speak
too highly of your Freesia "Purity," as it has
proved very highly with us, and should be a
great seller on account of the purity of color,
and being superior over any other freesia we
have ever grown. Wishing you success with
same, we remain, Yours respectfully,

A, LAUB & SON,
Hughsonville, N. Y.

Elsmere, P. O., Jan. 19, '06.
MR, R, FISCHER.

Dear Sir:— It gives us much pleasure to say
that your Pre«8la 'Purity" is simply superb.
I cut the first 15 spikes on the 3rd of this
month, and up to date havecut from 100 bulbs
227 first-size spikes, which I wnolesaled at
2c each, and 38 smaller ones, which I sold at
Ic each, and ihere are more to cut yet. There
was ooe rogue in the lot, and the contrast
was as crab apples to Baldwins. It will surely
supplant the old variety when the supply is
equal to the world's demand.

I congratulate you on your good fortune In
giving to the world such a splendid plant.

Yours truly,
E. SEXTON.

125 E, 57th Street, New York. Feb. 9.
MR. R, FISCHER. . u ».

I received your postal asking my opinion
of your new Freesia "Purity" and I am
pleased to say that although I was so late in
sending my order, and that I was only able
to get smallest bulbs. I never saw such large-
slied f reeslas in my life before. They were
immensely productive, and their perfume
was most delicious. In "Purity" you have
put all lovers of the flower under lasting ob-
ligation. I hope you will meet with great
success in the sale of it.

Very truly yours.

MRS. A. S. APGAR.

MR. R.^^icS.''"" ''^'•'"'•' ^**' "• "«•

Dear Sir:— I have bloomed Freesia "Purity '
during the past winter, and find it the strong-
est growing and most abundant bloomer of
any variety I have ever trted. Three plants
in one 6-ln. pot produced 218 blooms: others
were not far behind, the lowest being 195
blooms on three plants. I was able to get
stems It) inches long, and I can well believe
that they may be grown two feet in length
The flowers are of large size, good clear
white in color, and have sufficient fragrance
for florists' use. Yours very trulyT

DR. VAN FLEET.
Associate Editor.

Norwalk, Conn., Feb. 13, '06.
MR, R, FISCHER,

Dear Sir:— Your postal card of January 18
received, and I am sorry that It has been so
Ion? unanswered. The freeslas which were
bought of you have produced remarkable
flowers, although you will remember I did
not have the larger bulbs, as you had sold all
of them when I wrote you. Grown side by
side with the ordinary freesia, it is superior
in every respect, and is simply not to be com-
pared with it, I am well pleased with the
small investment that I made in it. and shall
undoubtedly have more if you have bulbs to
offer next summer. Yours truly,

R. G. HANFORD.

Hlghtstown, N. J., March 10. '06,
MR. R. FISCHER.

Dear Sir:— The small bulbs (third size) you
kindly sent me for trial last summer, did
finely, although they had very little care.
They produced as high as 10 florets on a single
stem. Edward Rold, tne florist commission
merchant from Philadelphia, saw them at my
place in bloom and said they were the largest
blooms he ever saw, more than double the
siee of wbat came to Philadelphia. Wishing
you success, I am. Yours truly.

CHAS. BLACK.

MR. R.FISCHER.

Dear Sir:— Have waited for some time be-
fore sending opinion of your Freesia "Purity"
as I wantea to see it in all stages of growth,
and side by side with the common kind. Take
it all in all, it Is the best freesia I have seen
on the coast. By doing proper elimination of
bulbs sbowlng yellow, I think In a few years
it would be all white. Some of the flower
spikes were perfectly free from color as it is.
And I only hope your carnation, "Abund-
ance," will please me as well..

Florally yours,

C. C. WOODWARD.

Ionia, Mich, Feb. U, '06.
MR. R. FISCHER.

Dear Sir:— Regarding "Purity" I must say It
was of the purest white of any freesia I have
ever grown. Also very prolific, and long
wiry stems with ten blooms on each. It was
a sight to behold when in full bloom.
Yours respectfully,

M, WETTERLING,

Merrill, Wis., Jan. 31, '06.
MR. R. FISCHER.

Dear Sir:— Now that your freesia is in
bloom, I must say that it is fine. It grew be-
yond my expectations, and beyond all sup-
port that I gave it. They grew 27 inches hlgb.
Yours very truly,

N. GREIVELDING.

.._ _ Camden, Me., Jan. 13, '06.

MR. R. FISCHER.

Dear Sir:— I consider your new Freesia
"Purity" as a very good cut flower. I had a
bench where I could grow nothing else, but
your freesia grew to perfection. I shall want
more next year. Yours truly,

GEO. GLAENTZEL.

,.„ _ _ Pemberton, N. J., Jan. 22, '06.

MR. R. FISCHER.

We find that your new Freesia "Purity"
produces larger stems, larger flowers, and of
better quality with the same treatment that
we gave the older variety.

Yours truly,

A, & G, R03BACH,

Asbury Park, N. J.. Jan. 19, '06.
MR. R. FISCHER.

Dear Sir: — Regarding Freesia "Purity"
would say I am much pleased with it. It has
fully sustained all your claims for it with me.
I had first flower December 23, and have now
finished cutting. The main stem had eight
to eleven florets. I cut a number of bunches,
all having eleven florets to the main stem, I
am, Very truly yours,

B, WYCKOFF.

Dear Sir:- Your Freesia "Purity" is the fln-
est I have ever grown. We cut from our first
batch December 29, with stems over two feet

MR. RUDOLPH FISCHER.

Dear Sir:— We are duly in receipt of your
favor, also box containing flowers of freesia.
They are indeed, a very fine sample, much
finer than can be produced from stock as or-
dinarily sent out. When you are in a position
to offer a stock of the same, would be pleased
to hear from you regarding same.
Yours very truiy,

Dear Sir:— The writer had the pleasure of
seeing some especially fine blooms of yo«r
Freesia "Purity" as shown at the New York
Florists' Club last Monday, Have you any
stock for sale? If so, at what price? To
what wholesaler, it any, are you shipping
your cut blooms? Yours very truly,

MR. R FISCHER.

Dear Sir:— Yours of the 8th inst,. asking in
reference to your new Freesia "Purity" of
which you sent us a few bulbs, is at hand.
We potted up the bulbs that you sent us, on
receipt, and they are now in bloom, and from
what we can see of it, it is an extra fine free-
sia. Of course the small quantity gives us
hardly enough to make a very good test, but
it looks all right. When you have bulbs of
this to offer again, we will be glad to have
your lowest price on same.

Yours very truly,

REVIEW ADVS. MOVE STOCK
QUICK.

Don't neglect your advertisement in
the Eeview. If it contains items on
which you are sold out, or nearly sold
out, write to have these cut out of the
advertisement. Don't put it off. Do it
in time to catch the next issue. It
does you harm, it does everybody harm,
to dis&ppoint a man who orders from
your advertisement.

A great many advertisements in the
Eeview are ordered to run "until I tell
you to stop." Don't fail to tell us to
stop the minute the advertisement has
done its work. If an advertisement has
been ordered for three insertions, and
two issues have done the work, don't
fail to head off the third one. It will
save letter-writing as well as disappoint-
ment.

The Eeview goes only to live people;
not a dead name on our subscription
list. Seasonable stock at right prices
sells quickly if advertised in the Eeview.
With the advertisers' help, we will carry
no dead offers.

CLEMATIS HENRYI.

A superb clematis is C. lanuginosa,
variety Henryi, one of the oldest and
most generally successful of the hybrid
group, says W. Van Fleet, in the Eural
New Yorker. C. lanuginosa is a native
of China, and with the exception of C.
cserulea, of Nippon, Japan, has given
rise to more really desirable varieties
than any other of the very numerous
clematis species. Imported plants are
often infected with the troublesome
clematis disease, but home-grown plants,
propagated by cuttings instead of graft-
ing on succulent-rooted species, are usu-
ally healthy and reliable. They should
be planted, where possible, in cool, moist
loam, well-enriched and deeply worked.
Care should be taken to spread the roots
out well, and work the soil between
them. Jamming the brittle roots into
a bunch results in almost certain failure.
After-care consists chiefly in training
the young growth on a suitable trellis
and applying every fall a liberal mulch
of stable manure that may be allowed to
remain all winter. Cut out all dead
or obviously weak wood when growth
has well started in spring, and you will
be rewarded with fine blooms if your
plants are strong and healthy. Henryi
is very desirable to plant as a relief to
the gorgeous but somewhat funereal
deep purple C. Jackmani.

Please discontinue my advertisement
of ferns; I have sold my entire stock.
The Eeview does the work, all right. —

DRY.

We have had an unusually dry spring
in the growing centers. The rain-fall at
Chicago is 3.87 inches less than normal
and at the same time tlie temperature
has been 473 degrees in excess of the
average daily mean since January 1.
Practically the same condition is preva-
lent throughout tiie west and in many
eastern localities.

The result has been a material cur-
tailment of spring business. From many
places come reports that the demand for
plants for bedding has been much less
than it would otherwise have been, and
many growers, who had prepared much
spring stock, find themselves with a sur-
plus because of the unfavorable weather.
There is still a possibility of finding a
market for this stock if we have a sea-
son of cool, moist weather in the first
part of June.

Outdoor flowering stock is suffering
from drouth. Many growers of outdoor
tulips found much of their stock un-
marketable this season because stems
were too short, due to lack of moisture.
The peony growers are losers. The
drouth has blasted a large percentage of
the buds, shortened the stems, made buds
smaller than usual and delayed the
blooming period. The same holds true
of many other outdoor crops and the ma-
jority of the spring bloom was below
the ordinary quality this season.

A year ago the carnation growers were
suffering because of inundation. May
of 1905 saw a heavier rain-fall than in
any recent year and a large number of
carnation plants were drowned out in
the fields. It is alleged that the prin-
cipal reason for light crops of carna-
tions during the season now closing, was
that the plants became too soft in the
wet May of 1905. This year the exact
opposite is the prevailing condition
among carnation growers, for many have
had no rain since they moved their stock
to the field. Little growth has been
made and generally it may be said the
plants have had a poor start. There yet
is time for a good growth under favor-
able conditions, but the prospects are not
as good as at this date in a normal season.
Jt looks as though good field-grown
plants will sell well.

PACIFIC COAST.

THE FRISCANS' POSITION.

Retailers Need No Aid.

There arc many interests, outside of
those in the city itself, which would like
to see the flower business reestablished in
San Francisco with as little delay as
possible. A well known western florist,
who is thoroughly acquainted with the
trade in San Francisco, was recently ap-
pealed to for definite information as to
what can be done to assist those who
were burned out. Here is what he says
on the subject:

' ' About the proposition of assisting
members of the trade who were burned
out in San Francisco, I may say I spent
a greater portion of last Sunday in the
city and saw probably about a dozen of
the largest dealers, all of whom were
among the losers by the fire. I find that
the opinions of the retailers in general
were about the same everywhere. Re-
garding assistance, I did not meet any
one but who seemed to feel that they
would have no difficulty in getting into
business again as soon as conditions in
the town shape themselves so that there
would be a demand for stores. I think
all of them are fairly well endowed with
means ami can tide over the difficulty
very nicely.

' ' So much for the propositions of the
big stores. I refer to such firms as
Sieveis, Podesta, Pelicano, Shibely,
Mann, Jaeger, Jaccard, Rossi, Rosaia,
Serveau, Stappcnbach, Frank and a
couple of others.

' ' With the small dealers, all of them
are Italians and I did not see but a
couple. The majority of them have gone
to nearby towns and to the country and
will stay away from San Francisco for
an indefinite time.

' ' The principal idea seems to be with
the retailers, that no flower stores are
needed in San Francisco at present ; there
is no demand for flowers, practically
speaking. There are about half a dozen
small stores in operation and they are
doing but little business. Of course,
things will change in a reasonable time,

and a demand will exist again for
flowers.

"The small dealers of whom 1 spoke
have left the town almost entirely, as
near as I can find out, and I do not see
how they could be assisted in a practical
manner at this time. It is questionable
whether many of them would think of
going into this business again for some
time at least, even if they were assisted
financially to do so. Everything in the
flower line is in such a chaotic state that
it is hard to get much definite informa-
tion as to future intentions. ' '

SAN FRANC3SCO.

The Market

Tliere has been little change in the
situation here. There have been no new
stores started in town, although I have
heard several rumors during the past
few days to the effect that we may ex-
pect several. There is, of course, an
entire absence of functions of any sort,
except funerals, and of this work there
has been a fair trade in the few stores
we have. Considerable shipping I find
being done, both by the retail and whole-
sale dealers, and I am inclined to think
this branch of the business will be up to
that of former seasons. With the grow-
ers everything is about the same as it
has been since the fire. Except for the
interior shipping, they are making no
use of their stock. About one-half of
the glass devoted to roses and carna-
tions Jias been abandoned, and for such
stock as is being cut the retailers can
make any price they see fit. The best
quality of fancy carnations cost the
stores about 10 cents per dozen, and all
other varieties about half that price.
Roses range a shade higher, but quota-
tions on them are not to be relied on,
as they have no standard of value at this
time. Sweet peas are in unlimited quan-
tity and of good quality, and can be
bought at from 25 cents to 50 cents per
dozen bunches. Other outside stock is
at the same par and only a small quan-
tity is being used.

T made a trip through the violet dis-
trict a few days ago and find there is
little activity among the growers, who

at this time should be very busy culti-
vating their young stock. One patch
containing probably eight acres was
turned into a cow corral and entirely
ruined for flowers. But I saw many
patches, principally small ones, that are
being kept in good trim, showing that
some of the growers anticipate business
later in the season. I think it is safe
to say that if the total acreage is kept
up that is still in good order at this
time there will not be over fifty per cent
of the usual output.

Over in Oakland, to which Mecca a
majority of the growers look for busi-
ness at present, things have brightened
somewhat and there is a fair trade in
funeral flowers. The fact that all the
factories for wire designs were burned
out in San Francisco made quite a
scarcity of wire frames for several
weeks, but already the Eureka Wire
Works has started a branch factory in
Oakland and the dealers can get any-
thing needed.

Throughout Alameda and Contra
Costa counties the conditions with the
wholesalers are about the same as on
the San Francisco side, and quantities of
stock are daily thrown out. There is
quite a falling off at this time in the
supply of roses and carnations, the first
spring crop being well over. Much
country shipping is done from the Oak-
land side and a good business is always
enjoyed for Decoration day.

Various Notes.

Superintendent McLaren, of Golden
Gate park, has sent a communication to
the supervisors in which he estimates
that $50,000 will be required to repair
the damage done to the various build-
ings in the park by the recent earth-
quake.

The Cox Seed Co. is handling late veg-
etable seeds from consignments they are
receiving daily.

Thos. Meherin, late of No. 516 Bat-
tery street, expects to erect a temporary
building in the near future one block
south of his old location.

Many landscape gardeners are getting
their supplies of grass and clover seeds
from Los Angeles. Every seed ware-
house except one was burned out here.

H. M. Sanborn, of Oakland, has com-
pleted the repairs to his building, made
necessary by the collapsing of a brick
structure next door, a great portion of
which fell on the roof of his store.

F. Ludemann reports that outside
trade in the nursery line is well up to
that of former years at this time. Mr.

Ludemann has a large place at Millbrae,
also aevoted to the growing of a general
line of plants.

Almost all the car lines are again in
operation and conditions are shaping
themselves so that the debris can be
cleaned away from the burned district.

W. D. Royce, of the Stockton glass
works, has informed me that he has
taken back orders for greenhouse glass
to the amount of 2,000 boxes. One firm
countermanded an order for 700 boxes,
even after the houses were almost ready
to glaze, and will do nothing further
about building this season. The glass
companies, however, are glad to save
having to make deliveries, as glass has
gone up in price at least fifteen per cent
and there is an unprecedented demand
for the small sizes. G.

entire twelve-acre tract in rows about
three feet apart. The plants are about
six inches in height and here and there
over the tract many of them are in

C. E. Rowland, personally is superin-
tending the work of irrigating. The sys-

one. The company has put in a pumping
plant on the land, using water from a
well already located there, but the sup-
ply is insuflScient and will be increased
later by sinking the well deeper. Addi-
tional water is now being purchased from
the Matthews ranch.

The work of irrigating and tending
the plants at this time of year requires
about twenty-five men. From December
until April, during the shipping season,
probably fifty to seventy-five people will
be kept busy. At this season the young
plants are being pushed as rapidly as
care, good soil, the available amount of
sunshine and constant irrigating will ac-
complish it. There is something new in
seeing a man plowing acres of roses,
just as though they were potatoes.

O. 8ea«er, Rochester; Treas., C. L. Yates, Roches-

DallM, Texas, June 13-1&, 1906.

The invoice value of the trees and
shrubs passing through the New York
customs house last week was $10,594.

The Jewell Nursery Co., Lake City,
Minn., has increased its authorized cap-
ital stock from $100,000 to $500,000.

The May frost at Chicago, which made
ice at Peterson's Nursery, did no injury
to the peony fields, either at Peterson's,
Klehm 's Nursery or A. Kennicott 's.

Some nurserymen note an increased
call for a smaller, lighter grade of fruit
trees, but others aver that the demand
instead should be stated as for cheaper
stock.

The Chicago Commercial Club wants
the nurserymen's convention for Chicago
in 1907. It offers a free meeting place,
assures low railroad fares and hotel ac-
commodations at moderate prices.

Florida nurserymen are making a
practice of setting out pecan orchards
under a guarantee if located where they
can exercise supervision over them dur-
ing the period covered by the guarantee.

It is reported from Painesville, O., that
the expectations of the Storrs & Harri-
son Co. were more than realized in the
spring business. The shipments totaled
231 carsj seventy-nine cars more than
last year.

The season thus far has been unusu-
ally dry in many growing centers and the
young stock, especially cuttings, is suf-
fering. Unless rain comes soon the sum-
mer's growth of older stock is likely to
to be much lighter than normal.

CONFERENCE ON HARDINESS.

Under date of May 23, Leonard Bar-
ron, secretary of the Horticultural So-
ciety of New York, 1269 Broadway, New
York City, sends out the following cir-
cular letter:

The Horticultural Society of New York pro-
poses to hold In the early fall of 1907 an Inter-
national conference on hardiness and acclimatiza-
tion. If there is sufficient Interest evinced to
warrant organizing such a gathering.

I am Instructed by the president and council
to ascertain whether your Institution would be
Inclined to support such a conference, and
whether you would be able to talie part In the
deliberations.

I need hardly remind you that the questions
proposed are of supreme importance to horti-
culturists, and there Is very little. If any, codi-
fied matter available In this country. The pro-
ceedings of the conference would form the sub-
stance of a volume of memoirs of this society,
to be a companion to the proceedings of the In-
ternational conference on plant breeding held In
1902.

Any assistance that you can give me at this
time, suggesting lines for discussion, together
with names of those whom you think might be
Interested, and whom I could approach, would
be greatly appreciated.

CONVENTION PLANS.

A meeting of the executive committee
of the Texas Nurserymen's Association
was held at Dallas May 23 to make ar-
rangements for the meeting June 13, 14
and 15 of the National Nurserymen's
Association. The following were present :
E. W. Kirkpatrick, of McKinney, presi-

dent of the state association; Edward
W. Knox, of San Antonio, president of
the State Horticultural Society; John
S. Kerr, of Sherman, chairman of the
program committee of the national as-
sociation; C. C. Mayhew, of Sherman,
chairman of the finance committee of
the state association; Stanley H. Wat-
son, of Houston, chairman of the enter-
tainment committee; F. W. Mally, of
Garrison, chairman of the committee on
exhibits.

On the afternoon of June 13 a trolley
ride will be given to Fort "Worth, where
some entertainment will be provided by
the board of trade of that city. On the
return an entertainment will be given
at Lake Erie, where light refreshments
will be served. On the afternoon of the
following day the visitors will be given
a trolley ride over the city, and in the
evening will partake of a fruit banquet.
The following night a lawn party will
be given at Lake CUff.

Since the meeting will be the first of
its kind held in the south, it is desired
especially to impress the visitors with

ST. LOUIS HEADQUARTERS.

Emery Albertson, president of the
American Association of Nurserymen,
writes :

"Am glad to report that arrange-
ments have been made with the Terminal
hotel in the Union Station in St. Louis
for our headquarters Monday, June 11,
for members of our association going
through St. Louis. F. A. Weber, of St.
Louis, will be on hand there early Mon-
day morning to welcome and entertain
members who may arrive during the fore-
noon and to give them any assistance or
instruction necessary, and for those who
may wish to visit Shaw's Gardens dur-

AN ENGLISH VIEV.

The Horticultural Advertiser clips the

following paragraph in relation to the

prosperity in the nursery trade in

America :

Very few nurserymen have any reason to com-
plain about the demand for nursery stock or the
prices stock commands. A larger market for
ornamental stock prevails than ever before, and
In some lines of fruits the supply Is altogether
Inadequate. Nurserymen have been able to sell
at money-making prices. Business has been
thriving In the south, and is In a healthy con-
dition In the north. Taking everything Into
consideration, the outlook Is pleasanter for the
nurserymen than It has been for some years.

Our British friends remark that "We
insert the above as it seems to be the
general feeling of the nursery trade in
the United States. We hear so much in
England of the dangers of Protection,
and we know so much about the low
prices brought about by competition, that
it is perhaps as well to study the result
of these matters in a protected country.
We see by other papers that money is so
plentiful in the States that everyone is
beautifying his surroundings, and orna-
mental shrubs, plants, etc., are so much
in demand that the cultivation of com-
mercial things, like fruit trees, is being
given up in favor of these luxuries, which
can be sold at more profit."

In considering our tariff system the
students ^ ' on the other side ' ' should not
pause until they have had a glimpse of
some of our beautiful trusts, which are
in many cases the outcome of our cus-
toms laws.

Here is a dollar for a year of the
Review. I have access to it through
the courtesy of our firm, but as there are
so many valuable articles in it I wish
to keep it on file for future reference. —

BUFFALO.

Ctirrent Comment.

"VVe are in the midst of the bedding
business, and it keeps all hands on the
jump. The florists near the cemeteries
have a still more laborious business, fill-
ing and carting out the iron vases. To
handle 500 of these heavy articles is no
light job, with the exception of the
charge we make for watering and caring
for them. The labor connected with
them is much heavier than the profits,
but it's all in the business and we can't
have it all cake.

We have had several days of torrid
heat, and now it again has turned to
rain and is much cooler. Memorial day
is too often accompanied by very cold,
wet weather.

No local peonies are out, but there
are plenty of lilacs, late tulips and fine
valley grown outdoors, but covered with
shaded sash. Carnations are of fine
quality and too numerous; Boston Mar-
ket, Lawson in variety, Enchantress and
Flamingo about as fine as they were in
February,

If weather is with us, Memorial day
is largely observed by all classes. If
you had 500 or 1,000 lilies that you
could not get in for Easter, and put
them in a cool house, how handy they
come now, instead of flowering three
weeks after Easter, when there was no
demand. W. S.

MuKCiE, Ind. — H. Warfel, of the
Riverside Greenhouse, reports a splendid
trade in spring stock.

Altoona, Pa. — Karl Kuny reports
business very good and getting better
every year. He will erect another house
24x100 for carnations.

Spartanburg, S. C— The Y. M. C. A.

autumn, for which many people are

DETROIT.

The Market.

Excepting for an occasional spurt,
business lias been rather dull of late.
From all aspects there will be consider-
ably less tiian the usual amount of
decorating this June.

Despite the fact tliat Decoration day
cuts but little figure in our city, as far
as cut flower sales are concerned, the
holding back of stock was again in evi-
dence Saturday. Up to Friday noon
large shipments arrived and everything
was plentiful; sweet j)eas, snapdragon
and some grades of roses were even a
glut, but Sunday the commis.sion houses
were cleaned out, as no shipments ar-
rived Saturday.

A drop in the temperature from SO
degrees in the shade Saturday morning
to about 40 degrees in the evening also
caused a falling off in shipments and
stock was at a premium the first part
of this Aveek.

Brides and Maids are bringing from
$4 to $8 per hundred, Kaiserins as high
as $7 per hundred. A^ery few Beauties
are in evidence. Carnations sell well at
from .$2 to $3 per hundred. Outdoor
valley is gone.

Variotii Notes.

If growers of snapdragon would tie up
their blooms, thereby keeping the stems
straight, they could get a much better
price for the stock.

Visitors: Harry Bunyard and C. B.
Knickman, New York. H. S.

out, Arthur Mix to take employment as
a niaciiinist and David Mix to become
gardener for L. F. Pike.

ROCHESTER.

Business is practically over and all are
rejoicing over a record season. While
the first part of March did not yield
the returns expected, later things bright-
ened up and as a whole were satisfac-
tory. Bedding plants are selling at good
prices, and the outlook for the morning
after Decoration day is that the houses
and frames will be tenantless. Gera-
niums and Golden Verschaffeltii coleus
are the scarcest items now. Cannas and
asters have been in good demand.

Our commission man, George B. Hart,
reports first-class trade in all lines. He
has had his office renovated, help in-
creased, and is in a position to handle
more goods than ever. At present he
is doing a rushing business. He has a
fine novelty in a single scarlet geranium,
which he intends to put on the market
this autumn. The trusses are immense,
well formed, long-stemmed, the plant
sturdy and stocky, furnished with luxuri-
ant foliage.

Bulbous stock yielded good returns
this spring and import orders are re-
ported heavy. Prices on bulbs, as far
as \^e can judge, will rule nearly the
same as last year for fall delivery, al-
though reports on Harrisii are not too
sunny.

We notice that the Gardeners' Maga-
zine, London, has reprinted in full
Vick's aster booklet. Eecognized from
such a source as an authority on the
question, Vick's people are girding up
their loins for further progress.

Highland park is in its glory. Here
can be seen the most comprehensive col-
lection of lilacs in this country and they
are simply loaded with the most fra-
grant flowers. John Dunbar, the super-
intendent, takes a deep interest in the
grounds. Each plant is his favorite —
"he calleth them by name" — and the
park seems to respond to his parental
care. An immense bed of pansies at-
tracts most attention, now that the bulbs
are on the wane. F. S. P.

PAXTON, ILL.

Addems, Morgan & Co. have just com-
pleted the cement work on a new and
thoroughly up-to-date rose house. They
have four houses here, a total of about
14,000 feet of glass. E. B. Morgan is
the manager here and a fine new resi-
dence adjoining the greenhouses has just
been erected for his use. The firm has
had a very prosperous year, both here
and at Loda, where they have a range of
five houses, each 160 feet long, built on
the Dietsch short-roof plan. These
houses have solid concrete benches, which
have given excellent satisfaction the past
season. C. J. Addems is in charge of
the Loda plant.

The Market

The least said of the business last
■ROck, the better. There wna scarcely
any. It has been liot and dry. AVe
have not had a good, soaking rain since
May 8, and outdoor stock is beginning
to suflfer. Bedding is also looking very
poorly.

Outdoor stock has come in with a
rusli. There are peonies by the thou-
sands. All other kinds of stock are
coining in heavily and the market is
glutted. Prices Avere down to rock bot-
tom last week.

Decoration day always calls for a
great quantity of flowers at fairly good
prices. ^lany advance orders early as-
sured a good business and it is expected
that tlie lieavy cut of flowers will run
itself out this week.

Various Notes.

The next regular meeting of the
Florists' Society will be held June 9.
The secretary is sending notice to all
florists of Cincinnati and vicinity to
come to this meeting, as action will be
taken on attending tiie S. A. F. meet-
ing at Dayton. It is hoped that we will
be able to go on a special train and
with a party of from 100 to 150.

Chas. E. Critchell is busily engaged in
organizing a bowling team to compete
at the national convention. All florists
who are interested should communicate
with him at once, as i)ractice games will
be started shortly.

Fred Gear is a l)aseball fan, and every
day that he can get away from business
finds him at the game, rooting for the
reds. Ask him Avhy he alway.s carries
a book with him. C J. OllMEii.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

May 31, 1906.

PITTSBURG.

The Market

The approach of Decoration day has
caused a general awakening in every
part of the business. There has been
much improvement in the cut flower
trade. Eoses are still plentiful, but good
carnations do not seem so much in evi-
dence; in fact, hardly enough to go
around. The poorer grades of all kinds
of stock are abundant. Faded sweet
peas are worst of all. The wholesale
houses are all crowded with stock of
everything except what they want.
Smilax, which was so scarce for a while,
now seems to be more plentiful. At this
writing it looks as if there would scarce-
ly be enough stock for Decoration day.

Plantsmen are now reaping their har-
vest. The continued hot weather is
making people anxious to get planting
done and they are pushing the plants-
men to the limit and by Wednesday
those who have not pretty well cleaned
up will probably not get as good prices
for their stock as are now prevailing.

Hoo-Hoo.

INDIANAPOLIS.

After another week of drouth we
have the pleasure of recording a fine rain
that gave the ground a much needed
soaking and will relieve many florists
of the job of watering their field stock.

Bedding out has gone on extensively
during the last week and now the final
rush begins. As usual, the late ones,
with their orders for vase filling, are
coming to the front and expect instant
attention and the best of plants.

We are sorry to report the death of
Mrs. Teilmann, of Marion, which oc-
curred May 24. Mrs. Teilmann had been
an invalid for quite a long while, but
her death came as a great shock to her
friends here. Mr. Teilmann has the sin-
cere sympathy of all in the great loss
he has sustained.

Business keeps up to the mark and
promises to make a record. Peonies can
be had in quantity, roses and carnations
are not so plentiful, while outside
flowers, owing to the dry season, were
scarce for Decoration day. S.

Lenten roses, that are of great interest
in the open border in early spring.

Given a sufficiency of strong roots
Christmas roses may be geiitly forced, so
as to give their flowers in quantity
through the months of December and
January, but with a limited number of
plants it is better to establish them in a
bed and cover them with an ordinary
garden frame, so as to secure a full
crop of flowers annually in time for
Christmas. "With reasonable treatment
the same plants will last for twenty
years on the same site. I would, how-
ever, caution those who wish to lift the
plants from such a bed, so as to flower
them earlier in beat and then return
them, that this practice means the ruin
of the plants, as the roots cannot stand
forcing and give satisfactory results
afterwards. — Gardeners ' Magazine.

TheWeckly Rorists' Review,

May 31, 1906.

NEW ORLEANS.

We are now passiog through a spell
of dry weather, which is very bad for
the florists at this time of the year.
Our city water system is not yet com-
pleted and many growers are suffering
for want of water. The chrysanthe-
mum and aster planting is not entirely
done and good showers are needed badly.
Business is dull.

The Gardeners' Mutual Protective As-
sociation, composed of the leading truck
farmers surrounding New Orleans, will
give its annual picnic and May festival
Sunday. There will be a number of
prizes distributed among the successful
contestants, consisting of wheelbarrows,
spades, pitchforks, etc.

We had the pleasure last week of vis-
iting the place of C. W. Wichers, situ-
ated at Gretna, opposite New Orleans.
It is well stocked with a general assort-
ment of plants, but his attention is de-
voted mostly to the culture of ferns, as-
paragus and aquatic plants. His varie-
ties of aquatics are quite numerous.
He also has another place, eighteen
miles from the city, on the Bayou Bara-
taria, where he raises nursery stock.
Mr. Wichers was for many years a resi-
dent of the southern part of Florida,
being then devoted to the culture of
oranges. His place here is shaded by
huge palms. Phoenix Canariensis and
cabbage palmetto, of the sabal type,
fifteen feet high and only three years
from seeds speak well in favor of our
soil and climate. The greater part of
his stock is shipped to other states.

The planting season is over and atten-
tion now is given to mums and carna-
tions and a general cleaning up in the
houses.

("onunencenient exercises are beginning
to take the center of the stage, and
many advance orders are being taken for
these functions.' The demand for flowers
is keeping well up to the supply and
there is little waste material. Reports
from various points denote a larger
business this year than ever before, and
indications point to a rapidly increas-
ing business the coming year. Advance
orders for fall landscape work are com-
ing in and the future seems bright for
that part of the trade.

Sherman last week. He reports good
business.

Mr. Majors, formerly with W. V.

Tde Test of WorkmaDSliiii

No greenhouse is a perfect house unless all the
materials which enter into its construction are properly
made by experienced workmen. All of our material
is made by men who know that perfect material is
needed to make a perfect house and you can't grow
the best stock without a perfect house. Well made
material costs less than the inferior kind — less repair-
ing to be done.

Our workmanship will stand the most critical
test — how about making a comparison with the houses
j'ouhave? Write for catalogue.

FLORIST.V...

BRIDAL BOUQUETS.

Sweet peas, valley or swainsona make
airy, dainty bride's shower bouquets.
All of these are best arranged in the
shower form. The top of the shower
should be put together in a round effect;
that is, a round top effect, not a ball
shape. The outline should be broken by
sprays projecting above the body of the
bouquet.

Short-stemmed flowers cannot be used
without artificial mounting. Even long-
stemmed valley needs wiring for extra
length. A difficulty presents itself when
an attempt is made to attach soft stems
like tiiese to a wire sufficiently strong
to holi] the flowers erect. To avoid this
and also to reduce the amount of wire
in the stems of the bouquet, wire sev-
eral sprays of valley or peas with one
wire wrapping and a little foliage
around the flower stem between it and
the wire. Wire close to the lower end
of thf stems and put all the little
bunches together for the bouquet.

Uou't try to make a perfectly round
bunch. Let the general effect be round,
but the outline broken every once in a
while.

Fine foliage, like asparagus or adian-
tum, makes a good border or edge for
the top bunch. Even a wide fringe of
adiantums will not make the bouquet too
heavy.

Fasten the bunches together with a
tight clasp of wire. Cover the wire
stems with green and wrap the whole
stem of the bouquet with white ribbon
or silk to protect the hands, after turn-
ing in all stray ends of wire or prickly
foliage.

Cut the sash ribbon according to the
height of the bride, allowing a little for
a possible change of position in hold-
ing. The shower bouquet, by the way,
should be carried in the hand and not
on the ar:n.

Lily of the valley and sweet peas can
be used prettily together in a shower
bouquet, the two mixed in the top and
one kind in the .shower, preferably the
valley, as being the lighter.

Material for the streamers in the
shower nmy be fine strands of green,
like- smilax or asparagus, or a cluster
of different lengths of narrow ribbon,
"1 gauze, satin taffeta or velvet ribbon,
wnite, cream, or green to match the
flowers or foliage. The new gauze or
chiffon tasseled ribbon is a dainty
shower material. Avoid tying many
Knots in the streamers bv tying the
flowers on with tiny bows of one-eighth
yard lengths of the same width ribbon,
catch two streamers together and drape
8'ightly in two or three places in the
shower.

The sash should correspond in color
an. material to the shower, but of wide
ribbon, ^o. 40 or over. Let the stream-
ers be as long as the longest streamer of
the shower and the bows less than half
as long. The sash should hang behind
the shower, whidi should be light and

gauzy enough to ailow the sash to be
seen through it.

The bouquet for the maid of honor
should be of flowers similar to the
bride's and alike in arrangement, and
the bridesmaids' a deep tint or shade
of the same color. Gertrude Blair.

SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS.

After placing an attractive display
basket upon an iron plant stand or a
pedestal, a lanky look sometimes ap-
pears. To relieve this, set a group of
foliage plants about the base of the
stand, Boston ferns or Asparagus plu-
mosus are usually available. Another
relief is the draping of a string of
smilax or asparagus over the top, and
in front of the stand. Fill in the base
of the pedestal with a pretty specimen
plant, or a bowl of cut green, or long-
stemmed flowers, A group of cut lilies,
full-blown roses, or three or four ferns
around a bay tree will add to its beauty,
and also display the stock to good ad-
vantage.

The boutonnieres for the bridal party

sometimes receive no attention at all.
The gentlemen should be provided with
them to match the bouquets which their
partners carry. One fine specimen flower
with its own foliage, and a small pin
with a black or violet head should be
provided with each boutonniere.

With the end of the violet season,
natty bunches of valley and sweet peas
tied with tasseled gauze ribbon to match
are becoming favorites for corsage bou-
quets.

Among the few formal designs sur-
viving for decorative ])urposes, is the
heart. One recently made for a luncheon
for a prospective bride was solid with
sweet peas ranging in color from an
irregular blotch of King Edward VII,
red, to a lighter red variety. Encircling
the center irregularly appeared Blanche
Ferry, gradually shading into Gladys
Unwin at the edge. At both ends of the
heart as it lay flat on the table were
loose lovers' knots of slender sprays of
smilax laid upon the cloth. The heart
was noticeably rounded, displaying the
flowers and coloring to good advantage.

DEPARTMENT STORE SALES.

The department stores are becoming
an important factor in the flower and
plant business. A number of the lead-
ing establishments in the various large
cities, like Bloomingdale 's in New York
and Daniels & Fisher in Denver, main-
tain regular flower departments, which
are conducted along the most approved
lines of retailing flowers and plants.

The Weekly Florists' Review.

June 7, 1908;

But it is with the special sales that
the trade is most concerned. These salerf
are invariably at prices much below the
usual retail values. They are of much
assistance to overstocked wholesalers and
are at certain seasons largely used by the
department stores as a means of at-
tracting a class of people who are not
usually appealed to by the ordinary bar-
gain offerings in other lines.

The success which almost invariably
attends these department store flower
sales causes them to be very popular
with the stores which are using them,
and many who nave not hitherto tried
flower sales are giving them a test now
that stock is cheap in large lots in
wholesale markets.

The success which attends the efforts
of the department store manager when
he goes into the flower business causes
many retailers to feel much alarm. That
this is needless is shown by the expe-
rience at Kansas City, which ^'as one of
the first towns in which the department
store cut flower sales were tried, and
where they flourished greatly. There

DECORATION DAY.

Like Mother Hubbard's Cupboard.

The following original lines by an
enthusiastic reader give a very accura.te
summary of the general state of affairs
at the time hientioned :
Ol'l florist Schuler. he went to the cooler,

"Bout ten on Memorial day;
Sa.vs he, "Nix come here oue, not « ro8e In the
liouse, "

And bl» customer hiked him away.

Memorial day business has shown a
rapid annual increase for the past half
dozen,, ^ears, a^^aa^ now taken rank
with the most imporiafat days upon the
florists ' calendar, calling for more cut
flowers than any other day, not excepting
Easter, and affording an opportunity for
profit not possible when stock is less
plentiful and high in price.

So often has it been reported that
sales * ' broke all records ' ' that it is a
discredited expression, but comparing last
week's Memorial day with any of its
predecessors, nothing else will do; it is
the story told in every wholesale market —
{"nd the wholesale markets always afford

the leading retailers say that instead
of being an injury to the trade, the de-
partment store saJes serve as educators
of the public taste for flowers, and in
the end bring new trade to the regular
flower stores at season when stock is too
high for the department plan of mer-
chandising.

a true index to what is doing with the
retailers. Cold weather following un-
seasonable warmth retarded production
over a large section of the country and
put a vim into the business which would
have been lacking had stock been more
abundant. The wholesale markets made
a very satisfactory clean-up and the re-

tail trade everywhere shared in the gen-
eral good business. In store after store-
it was the case as with "Old florist
Schuler," customers went away without
stock because everything was sold.

One of the notable features was the-
popularity of the peony. Possibly be-
cause of its brief season as much as'
because of the good qualities of the
flower, it has taken a strong hold on the-
public fancy and hundreds of thousands
of dozens were sold at prices which alll
peony growers must consider excellent^

LONG HdtJRS.

. ;f»"

It is not unusual to hear growers com-
plain of the long hours which are a fea-
ture of their calling, where watchful-
ness must be maintained throughout the
twenty-four hours, but the retailers have
equal cause for fault-finding on this
score. If eternal vigilance is the price
of liberty, it is also the means of re-
taining freedom from the many ills the
growers are heir to, and with the retail-
ers a constant readiness to respond to
the demands of hurry-up calls for any-
thing from a boutonniere to a funeral
bunch or a dinner decoration is the price
of success. It takes the form of being
on deck, open for business, early and
late.

During the season the average retail
store is open fourteen or fifteen hours a
day and at least part of Sundays and
holidays. Added to this, a run of fu-
neral work will often necessitate work-
ing the better part of the night, a big
decoration will call for night work, and
at Christmas and Easter it is not un-
common for the full force to work all
night J3t|tting up orders for ejarly morn-
ing delivery. These things seem neces-
sary in a business where calls not met
at the moment are forever lost.

But now that the season is nearing
an end it is time for relaxation. Noth-
ing can be lost by early closing during
summer and fresh energy will be stored
up for the strenuous season which comes
with returning autumn.

COUNCIL OF HORTICULTURE.

Press Bureau's Report.

The tenth instalment of the experi-
mental press service conducted by the
National Council of Horticulture was dis-
tributed May 18 to the 2,500 of more
daily and weekly newspapers that had
received the previous instalments, either
by mail direct or through press bureaus.

This completes the expenditure of $180^
set aside for a test service to determine
the willingness of the newspapers of the
country, large and small, to print matter,
carefully prepared, calculated to stimulate
the public interest in horticulture in all
its branches, and to benefit financially
the florist, seed and nursery trades.

The test has been successful. Letters
from more than a score of managing
editors of the best known newspapers
of the country prove that the willingness
of newspapers to print the articles -we
have distributed has amounted in manj
cases to eagerness.

The Plan Persued.

A list of the largest daily newspapers
in the country and of six large press
bureaus, engaged in syndicating matter
to both daily and weekly publications^
was prepared the latter part of March,,
and the service was begun with a letter

-Ait •:'•■,';.* .i

June 7, 1906.

The Weekly Florists' Review.

149

explaining tiie nature of the National
Council of Horticulture, and the purpose
of the press service. Editors were as-
sured that the articles distributed would
be prepared by experts and would give
their readers authoritative and valuable
information concerning horticultural mat-
ters. The purpose of the service was
explained as being a general stimulation
•of interest in horticulture, which would
lead to more beautiful homes, and a
eloser acquaintance with nature. A
pledge -vas given that the articles should
in no instance have the effect of ad-
vertising any par^ticular firm or group
of firms, or any articles of commerce
mot generally disseminated. This pledge
ihas been kept.

To understand the full meaning of the
results obtained by the test service, it
onusl be remembered that lack of funds
prevented any attempt to advertise our
service. We could not urge on editors
ithe reasons they should print the articles
we offered. We were barred by poverty
from the "follow up" system without
which any ordinary business would be
lifeless. We could merely offer our
wares, explaining ' their merits briefly,
and accept the first decision, for or
against them, in silence.

The Results Obtained.

As close a check as possible was kept
to determine what percentage of the
papers to which the service was tendered
made use of it. This was found to be
approximately ninety per cent. This
percentage is very much above what I
expected, and I believe that had it been
possible to have properly followed up
•our offers, the few papers that refused
them would have been brought to see
their merit.

All the press bureaus and syndicates
to which the service was oft'ered accepted
it. I give here a list of the bureaus and
the number of papers they served as
estimated by the different managing
•editors at my request, the number in
•each case being the minimum estimate:

Western Newspaper Union 750

(These bureaus, the largest In the country,
■combined April 15. Up to that time they were
supplied with the service separately aiul sup-

The maximum estimate put on the number of
papers served by the merged bureau was 3,000.)

American Press Association, New York 400

Chicago Newspaper Union 500

(These bureaus supply weekly newspapers.)
Madison, Wis., Democrat Co 25

consin and Minnesota.)

land, 0 80

(These are metropolitan dallies, inciudiiig the

The service went direct to the following large
dallies and was used by them: Worcester Ga-
zette, Detroit News, Grand Rapids Herald,
leorla Journal, Dayton Dally News, Atlanta
Constitution, Ohio State Journal. Columbus. 0.,
^}^^^ News-Tribune, Cincinnati Commerclal-

The willingness of newspapers through-
out the country to print horticultural
matter having been demonstrated, it re-
mains to comment on the value of the
service to the members of the nursery,
seed and florist trades that supported it.

Valoe to the Trade. — ^— —
The value cannot be questioned by
anyone familiar with the effects of ad-
vertising. The articles sent out by the
•council have been advertisement, not for

A Btrchbark Rrcplacle Filled by Muir, Chicago.

any one firm, but for the horticultural
interests of the country generally.

Every branch of horticulture has been
affected by the wide range of subjects in
the articles. No one will deny, for in-
stance, that an article on how to grow
pansies, printed in the Brooklyn Eagle,
Philadelphia Bulletin, and the Chicago
Tribune, leading newspapers in three big
cities, with a combined circulation of
more than half a million, will stimulate
the demand for pansy plants among th,^
readers of those papers in New YOj|f%(
Philadelphia, Chicago, and a large tferti-
tory surrounding each city.

Such an article would probably be of
so much value to the trade benefited, that
by dividing the expense among "them,
the dealers in each city could afford to
pay for the article s insertion at ad-
vertising rates. Certainly to any enter-
prising dealer that would be a business
proposition not to be lightly put aside.

An article on pansies was published in
each of the large papers named, and in
2,500 or more other papers throughout
the country. It was distributed by the
national council at a cost of about $5,
and was published free.

Is it conceivable that the benefit done
by that article to the florists and seeds-
men of the country was not worth the
cost, and many times the cost?

Every other article distributed by the
national council was of similar profit
to the trade, and was published with as
little expense.

Consider what the cost of this exploita-
tion would be at advertising rates. Con-
sider also the immense circulation given
to each article, even in our limited ex-

perimental service. The newspapers
served ranged in circulation from 350,000
down to 1,000. Supposing the average
circulation to be 2,000 — which is reason-
able— and the total circulation was
5,000,000. This at a cost of $5.

It must not be forgotten, moreover,
that the articles distributed by the
council are published as editorial matter
and the value of editorial matter is gen-
erally rated as much greater than matter
in the advertising columns.

Ag^uvst these arguments in favor of
t^fr eoBn*il(!s press service it may be
utged that the newspapers, being
cdgnizant of the public interest in horti-
culture, will print information about it,
whether the council supplies it or not.

Reasons for Extension.

It is true there is a wave of interest
in horticulture sweeping over the country.
It is fostered by the Civic Association,
the Woman 's Outdoor Art League, and a
dozen other admirable voluntary organi-
zations that are inspired by high ideals
of beauty and a love of nature. It is
this general interest which makes it
possible for the national council to get
its matter printed with so little trouble.

These organizations, however, do not
have the prosperity of the commercial
man at heart. Their work is not
systematized to that end. While the gen-
eral interest they stimulate often leads
newspapers to print horticultural in-
formation, then again in many instances
it does not. What is printed may lack
timeliness, from a trade standpoint.
Certainly, it won't be prepared with the
commercial men's benefit in view.

//

The Weekly Florists' Review^

Jdxe 7, 1906.

Compare the eflfect of such desultory
results, to that of the council's press
service, which is systematically con-
ducted with the benefit of the commercial
men as its ultimate aim, and gets with
regularity, week after week, into twice
as many papers as would print horticul-
tural information if left to prepare it
themselves.

It is my opinion that the council 's
press bureau, properly enlarged, can
apply a stimulus to the wave of horti-
cultural interest, that from a commercial
standpoint will have double the effect
of the work of all other organizations.
Should the commercial men refuse to
take advantage of this opportunity, when
it means dollars to them, and those who
are working on other lines are acting
from mere love of ^ horticulture ?

The value of general newspaper pub-
licity is being recognized in most lines
of business, and- large sums are being
spent for it, but the results obtained in
horticultural exploitation cannot be
touched in other lines/ This is because
of the general recognition of the moral
value of horticulture.

In the recent life insurance investiga-
tions in New York it was brought out
that a, press bureau was maintained by
the Equitable which obtained the inser-
tion of matter favorable to the company
in the r editorial columns of . newspapers
and paid for it at a rate of $1 per line.
This shows what value is set upon pub-
licity of this sort.

I have received from the managing
editors of some of the best known daily
newspapers of the country letters which
show what great interest they take in
horticulture and how they regard the
council's press service. Here is a
typical one from a leading publication :

James Keeley, managing editor Chi-

A FAMOUS HORTICULTURtST.

Plant lovers all over the world have
lost a benefactor, plant growers a com-
rade— Edouard Vander Cruyssen died at
his home in Mariakerke, near Ghent, Bel-
gium, on May 7, in his eighty-
seventh year. Edouard Vander Cruys-
sen was the originator of Azalea Mme.
Vander Cruyssen, undoubtedly the most
popular variety of forcing azalea today.
No collection in America is complete
without it, while in nearly every col-
lection it outnumbers any other variety.

Edouard Vander Cruyssen was born at
Mariakerke, December 8, 1819. He was
in horticulture in 1849 at his place near
Ghent. He devoted especial attention to
the culture and improvement of Azalea

Indica, originating a number of new va-
rieties. He won the gold medal at the
, universal exhibition held in Paris for
the best twelve varieties of azaleas
grown and exhibited by the originator.
This set of twelve included the peerless
Mme. Vander Cruyssen. He also won
high honors for his productions during
the next eighteen years at'^Amsterdam,
Vienna, Brussels, London and Antwerp.

In 1902 the syndicate of Belgian nur-
serymen presented Mr. Vander Cruyssen
with a gold medal in commemoration of
the thirty-fifth anniversary of the in-
troduction and the victory at Paris of
his greatest azalea!

The funeral took place at Mariakerke
on May 10. Among the many beautiful
floral designs sent by relatives and
friends was a wreath composed entirely
of azalea Mme. Vander Cruyssen "from
Henry A. Dreer, of Philadelphia.

A Chapter on Bench Building.

The time will soon be here when our
most important crops must be planted,
and probably many readers are consider-
ing what kind of benches are to be
built in place of those that are decayed
and must be replaced.

Smilax and Asparagus plumosus are
the first crops to go in, and for these
there are no benches to build. Both of
them should go right into Mother Earth.
This is particularly true of asparagus.

Bed for Asparagus and Smilax.

The soil of the surface of the green-
house may not be suitable. If not, all

you have to do is to put up a plank 2x8
inches, held in place by some pieces of
1-inch pipe, and then fill in with soil
that is one-fourth cow manure. Don't
put boards or any other material at the
bottom of the bed. As the asparagus will
do in the same soil for three or four
years, with an annual top dressing, it
should have a bed at least eight inches
deep, and if it were twelve inches deep,
none the worse.

The smilax pays best when planted
annually and, therefore, six inches of
soil will grow it well for one year. To
get the best returns from smilax it
should be planted the last week in June;
then by the time to replant a year 'hence,,
you should have cut four crops. Smilax
is mostly used in quantity. If you need
fifty strings you have time enough to
procure it of a specialist, but unless
you have some on your own place, if
you are a retailer, it is a continual annoy-
ance sending to the wholesale house for a
few strings. We daily notice the in-
convenience of not having smilax on th&
place, and I am not sure that it is less
profitable than many other plants that
occupy our thought and space and upon
which we put our labor.

ihe smilax, like its closely allied genus,,
the asparagus, is a heavy feeder, and
should have a heavy loam with a third
or fourth of fresh manure. Once we
were compelled to use a light, gritty sand
for our smilax bed, and it was a most
pronounced failure. We also planted a
lot of asparagus in a bed of good soil
at least a foot deep, separated from
Mother Earth by planks, and that also
was a failure, so avoia these mistakes.
We have paid for our experience and
profited Dy its teachings.

A Digression.

The planting of roses dnd carnations
yet is a few weeks in advance, but it is
none too early to be prepared. I notice
that some methods of building and glaz-
ing are pronounced fads by a wise man
in i\ew Jersey. Most of us are

faddists. We copy, or follow the teach-
ings of men who have new ideas. Many
of tnese bright and original ideas are
fallacies, and yet others are jewels. The
idea that roses could be grown to pro-
duce the finest blossoms in four inches
of soil on a board bench at first was
laughed at by the majority of florists,
and was called a fad, yet long ago it
was universally adopted and has proved
correct. The New Jersey friend, who
styled the short-span-to-the-south a fad,
was about right, but when he included
butted glass as another fad he was far
wrong. However, this is no time or
place, to discuss the merits of that style
of glazing. Only those who have ex-
tensively tried both the butted and
lapped methods are fit to pass an opinion.

Cost of Bench Material

A few years ago there was a slight in-
clination with many growers to adopt
solid beds for our most important
products, and that reached the stage of
a fad, but most growers are going back
to benches, or what has been called semi-
solid beds. The enormous increase in
cost of lumber suitable for benches made
us realize that repairing and renewing
wood benches is a most serious item of
expense. One illustration: Hemlock
lumber, which ten years ago cost $11
per thousand feet, now costs $26 per
thousand, and used for benches it is
only good for an average of about four
years.

Last summer, having returned from
the fad of solid beds to the raised
benches, we bought a carload of pecky
cypress. It was landed in western New
iork at a trifle less than $21 per
thousand feet, mostly boards 1x6 inches
and _x4 inches. It is rough looking and
irom the holes in it you would think that
the patriarchs of the borer family had
nourished in the trees since the age of

Noah, but those who ought to know say
these apparent borings are not caused
by any of the boring insects, and it is
no unsoundness. One year's experience
is not enough to be any guide, still we
believe it will outlast by three times the
life of white pine or hemlock. If so, it
is a boon, and this material must be
available at a much lower price to
thousands of florists than it is to us in
western New York.

Several Styles of Benches.

Having had several kinds of benches
and beds the past season — the board
bench with five inches of soil; the solid
bed, with no separating material between
the prepared soil of the bed and the
floor of the greenhouse; and what we
will call semi-solid, with six inches of
soil on a floor of tile or hollow brick, —
we have come to the conclusion that the
raised bench with four or five inches of
soil will grow roses or carnations to
perfection from July till the following
March, and for the average florist it is
safest and best, and in the majority of
houses tue plants will receive the greatest
light.

The solid bed, where the prepared soil
is on the floor of the greenhouse is, of
course, the least expensive to construct,
as the side can be merely a plank. There
are, however, several disadvantages. Un-
less the floor of the greenhouse is of
gravel, the beds will have poor drainage,
ami with houses that have board sides,
both north and south, the plants will not
receive enough light. Another factor is
that the atmosphere surrounding the
plants is heavier and less pure than it
is three feet above the floor.

I have noticed this spring a decided
advantage, both in roses and carnations,
on the semi-solid beds. There are several
ways of making these beds; one was

described by Mr. Montgomery last sum-
mer in his article on grafted roses.

The Best Style of Bed.

The beds used by the Canadian grow-
ers are about perfection and attain the
object in view, viz.: Nothing to decay,
and practically everlasting. They build
low walls, either two bricks high, or just
as well make the walls of concrete, six
to ten inches high. Then soil is filled in
even with top of wall, and firmly packed
down. Then a floor of 2-inch drain tile
or 4-inch hollow brick is laid in the
soil, extending to the outer edge of the
walls. A 2x4 or 2x6 cypress scant-
ling will do for the edge of the
bed, or to be still more permanent an
edging of concrete can be laid on the
tiles. This makes a bed of perfect
drainage, brings the plants up to a con-
venient height and the air at the temper-
ature of the house is circulating through
the tiles or bricks at all times.

The first cost of such a bed may be
a trifle more than of the raised wood
bench, yet only a trifle. It is convenient
to flll or empty, has perfect drainage,
and there is nothing about it to decay,
and when we get the hot suns of April
an<l May there is not the continual dry-
ing out that take^ place in the raised
wood bench. What is known as hollow
brick is better than the round drain tile;
not better drainage, but more convenient
for shoveling off.

Soil Beneath the Tiles.

The soil beneath the tiles need not be
a special preparation; any old soil that
has been previously used is good enough.
The utility this six or eight inches of
soil beneath the tiles is not easy to ex-
plain, yet it is of the greatest use. If
you doubt it, place the tiles on planks
or a concrete floor and notice the marked
difference between the plants grown

there and where the tiles rest on soil.
Our attention has been drawn to it, and
we have frequently noticed it where a
«mall piece of bench was carried over
«ome stone or concrete floor.

We have found the bed which I have
«ndeavored to describe as near the ideal
as possible, convenient to work, lasting,
and not expensive. If the crops on it
are not ideal we are convinced we must
*ook to some other cause than the con-
titruction of the benches.

BITUMINOUS MINES RESUME.

The strike of the Illinois coal miners
terminated May 31 as the result of an

agreement effected by the joint scale
committee of miners and operators. In
substance the agreement provides that
the 1903 scale of wages shall be paid
the miners and that the cost of shot
firers and inspectors shall be assumed by
the miners, and in case of any new legis-
lation enacted which shall affect the
equity of the agreement the party which
is injured by the legislation shall be re-
imbursed by the other party to the joint
agreement. The agreement is to con-
tinue in force for two years.

T])| Mnes resumed operations on Mon-
day and soon all Wni^ oe working at full
capacity, although there is no immediate
need for coal. The prospects are that
coal can be laid in cheaply this summer.

^ n' CAHRYING ^TOCK OVER.

Aa soon as the plants have acquired
the proper condition of ripeness, all the
email, blind wood should be cut out and
the stronger shoots cut back to at least
four eyes. As much of the top soil
should be removed as can be done with-
out injuring the roots, and the surface
^ven a sprinkling of air-slaked lime.
The bed should then be refilled with a
good, rich' mulch and given a thorough
soaking.

The house temperature should,, be kept
aa near 55 degrees as the weather will
allow, and the plants should be frequent-
ly syringed '6nt|i;l||>ot action agaii} com'",
meaces, wh^if qiure water m^^ ftoer \;fe'n-*
tilation can be given. ^ • (£

By tying the stronger growths in a
fiorizontal position the buds, which are
at the base of the stem and in a dormant
state, will be encouraged to break and
tform nice shoots.

Aa the young leaves develop and the
^oung growths begin to reach, ventila-
tion should be given freely and ordinary
'watering resumed.

During the whole process of ripening,
preparing and restarting the plants,
great care should be exercised in ad-
ministering ventilation and giving the
requisite quantity of moisture to the
liouse without direct application to the
roots.

In ventilating the sashes should be
raised a little at a time, never so much
as to perceptibly reduce the temperature,
*nd should be lowered during the after-
noon with the same care; that is, never
Bower the ventilating sash so much at
««c« as will have a tendency to raise
the temperature of the house.

While the plants require a good deal
«£ moisture, the roots being in a semi-

dormant condition do not require much
water after the first soaking until there
are very evident signs of renewed root
activity.

No effort should be made to push the
plants along by feeding or otherwise
until they have developed a good crop
of leaves and young wood of good sub-
stantial quality. Bibes.

FUMIGATING WITH ARSENIC

We have noticed some comment on
fumigating with" arsenic. Can you ad-
vise us in what quantities this should be
used and whether or not it has ever
been successfully used for leaf rollers on
roses! L. W. H.

Regarding the merits of arsenic as a
fumigant to be applied to rose houses
and the quantities to be used for de-
. Iptroying the leaf roller, I have made
jf 'ddme care|^ research avtto its properties
wnen so i^^ied and the best and easiest
methods of so applying it.

The question of whether . it would
benefit the rose grower and be of prac-
tical use to him in exterminating insects
is, so far as I can learn from inquiries
among the most advanced in the craft,
an unknown field. That the deposit left
on the leaves of roses from properly
sublimated arsenious acid (the common
white arsenic of commerce) would be
fatal to chewing insects there can be lit-
tle doubt, but some of our worst enemies
belong to the class called suckers, that
derive their sustenance from the sap of
the plant and consequently can not be
reached through their stomachs.

It is possible that a fine deposit may
affect any of the insects by absorption
and thus set up a fatal irritation, but
these effects can also be accomplished
by the simpler and safer method of using
the acid in solution.

According to some authorities arsen-
ious acid is entirely volatile at an in-
cipient white heat and if thrown on
ignited charcoal it emits a strong gar-

licky odor, while in the British phar-
macopceia it is said to be entirely volati-
lized at a temperature of 400 degrees F.
Dr. Taylor, in his work on medical juris-
prudence, gives the subliming point at
370 degrees F., and Wm. A. Guy, who
has made careful experiments on the
volatility of various substances, states
that arsenious acid rises in vapor at
about 280 degrees F. On being heated
to about 424 degrees F. it is completely
volatilized without melting.

To show how widely doctors can differ
on even such an easily settled dispussion,
the above statemei* were entirely dis-
proved by experiments made under the
direction of Prof. Mallet, of the Uni-
versity of Virginia. He succeeded in
fusing arsenic without difficulty, but
failed to pass it into vapor without fus-
ing.

With arsenic in its various forms as
an insecticide there is a wide field, but
at the same time there is great danger
in volatilizing such a subtile poison and
it is only by a thorough knowledge of
the properties it assumes in its various
forms that can constitute safelly. Few
growers posses(9 4S\As knowledge ' and ex-
perimenting with such an agent may
place some of the growers themselves
in the same condition they would like
to put the pests of the rose houses.

week asking the manufacturers to signify
their willingness to close on the date
named only a few manufacturers who
have stocks on hand favored the early
suspension. The plan has been aban-
doned, and all factories will continue in
operation until the close of the fire,

June 30. Some will endeavor to operate
during the summer months, for stocks
are lower than usual at this season and
many factories will not be able to make
full deliveries without working beyond
the usual period for a cessation of opera-
tions. The demand for greenhouse sizes
continues active.

fATION

STYLE OF HOUSE.

What location is best for a carnation
house 30x150 feet? Two sites are avail-
able, one east and west, the other north
and south and much better elevation.

What system of heating would you
consider best for such a house? Follow-
ing are the conditions: At present we
have 11,000 feet of glass, steam heat
supplied by two twenty horse-power
boilers. The houses, six in number, are
poorly located and in few years will need
rebuilding, with complete overhauling of
the heating plant, i'he farthest point of
the new house would be at least 300
feet distant from the present boilers.
Would it be wise, therefore, to attach
the new house to the present heating
plant? We are inclined to favor a hot
water system with separate boiler and
boiler-house. What is vour opinion of
same? ' F. A. S.

Of course you know that the most
popular method of building greenhouses
these days is running east and west, and
there is no doubt in my mind that, all
things being equal, this is best. How-
ever, there are conditions that might
make houses running north and south
preferable, and when such houses are
built light, and large glass used, as high
a grade of stock can be grown in them
as can be grown in the east and west
honses. In the east and west houses you
can get a greater amount of direct sun-
light, which is worth a good deal during
midwinter, but the north and south
houses are cooler during the summer. So
by striking an average for the twelve
months 1 doubt whether there is a great
deal of difference in the net results.
If there is much advantage in the north
and south site over the other I should
not hesitate to use it.

In building houses running north and
south F woidd be inclined to build them
wuler than the average, say about forty
to fatty feet wide, and to build them
separate, with at least fifteen feet of
space between them, and run the glass
down the sides to a level with the beds.
L'sc as light sashbars as may seem prac-
tu-able especially in the way of depth.
-V sashbar IV-ixli^,, or even a little
^M«ler would be better than the regula-
lon bar, •2%xl-yk. To give the roof
the necessary strength you could put in
ore or two extra purlins. We usually
calculate eight to nine feet between
purlins, or between purlins and ridge or
K"tter, but with such a light bar this
^ouhl have to be reduced to six or seven
*pct m the clear.

'^ ytyi expect in a few years to tear

down your old houses and build on your
new site, then I would certainly advise
you to put in a separate heating plant
at once. You will find that you will
have jnuch less diflSculty in heating the
house properly than you would after
taking the steam so far from your
boilers. You would find, if you tried to
heat from the old boilers, that unless you
always carried a good head of steam, at
least twenty-fi\ie pounds pressure, your
new house would always be slow in heat-
ing up and quick in cooling off. Yqu
would find this very exasperating at
times. Then, again, I hardly think you
would be able " to maintain the proper
temperature during zero weather with
your present boiler capacity. This new
glass would give you an additional 5,000
feet of glass and being such a distance
away from the boilers would require as
much work on the part of the boilers as
would 8,000 feet added to the old range.
A total of 19,000 feet of glass is too
much for your two boilers unless every-
thing is in fine working order.

If, however, you expect to build only
this one house on this site, then it would
perhaps be better to feed it from the
old heating plant and if necessary put in
a larger boiler. In such case I would
feed this main entirely separate from
the other system by running it direct
from the boiler and having no connection
with the other mains.

It will save you much labor to have
your entire heating plant in one place,
if it is possible, and it will pay you
to build with that idea in view. The
old-fashioned way was to put up a
couple of houses, with boiler house, etc.,
apparently without any idea of ever add-
ing t<» them. By and by, when more
glass was needed, very often an entire
new plant had to be put in for the new-
addition, and so on until in some cases as
many as a dozen sections, with as many
boiler holes, were scattered over a couple
of acres of groun<l. Places with four
and five boiler holes were common
enough ten years ago. Now when an
up-to-date man builds he plans as
thougJi he expected to cover every foot
of ground he owns, or expects to own.
and the one thing he provides for is an
adequate heating plant to heat all the
glass that he will ever put up, and to
heat it all from one central point. The
wise man looks far into the future.

As to the best method of heating, ex-
perts differ in opinion. When you meet
a grower who has a heating plant that
works satisfactorily he will tell you to
put in no other system. Hot water and
steam each has its advocates, and you
will find plenty of places fitted up with
each, working first-class in every way.

Personally we prefer steam to hot water
as being quicker to respond in case of
emergency, either in getting up extra
heat or in cooling off entirely. For thosp
who have very small places and do not
employ night men, hot water is of course
preferable, but on a place the size of
yours there should always be a man on
duty during firing weather. One thing
I want to impress upon your mind, is to
set your boilers low enough to give your
return pipes plenty of fall. Poor circu-
lation in most cases can be traced to that
one point. If the water line in your
boiler is six feet below the lowest point
of the return, it is better than if it were
three feet, although three feet is suffi-
cient if the piping is perfect.

CARNATIONS IN ENGLAND.

For smartness, up-to-date methods and
fine results we yet have seen nothing in
connection with winter-flowering carna-
tions to beat A. F. Button's establish-
ment at Iver Heath, close by the little
old Buckinghamshire village of Iver, says
the Gardeners' Magazine. Firstly, Mr.
Button grows carnations for the purpose
of producing flowers for market, and
secondly, he believes in producing flowers
a little better than any one else. Thirdly,
he grows carnations, as plants, for both
wholesale and retail trade.

Iver is well out in the country, where
pure air and clear light prevail, and
where London fogs are unknown. Here
Mr. Button has erected two splendid
pairs of span-roofed houses. These are
of Jiis own designing, and they combine
lightness with strength in a remarkable
degree. There is no division down the
center of each twin house, so that there
is an enormous area under the one roof,
and when most of the benches are in full
cut such a house presents a fine sight.
An adaptation of the American plan has
been followed by Mr. Button, and h*e
has a well-founded belief in bench cul-
ture, but not in the rough and ready
methods occasionally followed. The
raised wooden benches run the whole
length of these houses 200 feet long, and
each bench is wide enough to hold six
plants.

The rude health of the plants, the blue
bloom on the leafage, and the big, sub-
stantial flowers all point to one thing —
excellence of culture. Very often a mar-
ket establishment is not so clean and
tidy as to attract the visitor 's attention
in that respect, and tu any gentle hint
at the absence of cleanliness and tidiness
a prompt retort that the place is run to
pay and not for show, is forthcoming..
Not so at Iver; cleanliness is regarded
as one of the essentials. No weeds are
to be found on the benches, no spots on
the plants — all is clean, healthy, fra-
grant.

The plants are planted on the benches
from pots, and not from the open ground.
Mr. Button does not grow a multitude
of varieties. New American and home-
raised varieties are always being tested,
but while many are called, JFew are
chosen. Mrs. Law son and Enchantress
are more largely grown than any others.

His list of best sorts is: White, Lady
Bountiful, White Lawson, Lillian Pond,
Lieut. Peary, Boston Market, The Belle,
and Governor Wolcott; pink, Eqchan-
tress, Floriana, Ethel Ward, Fiancee,
Fair Maid, Melba, and Morning Glory;
cerise, Mrs. Lawson, Mrs. T. Roosevelt,
and Nelson Fisher; scarlet, LhristmaS'

which have created much discussion, if
not widely accepted. Mr. Strlngfellow
believes that most troubles of the fruit

which seems to prove it — only, as he
says, so far as securing the adoption of
his methods goes, ' * My individual ef-

practically nothing. ' ' Here is what he
contends :

"1. I clai'ii that .the best form of
tree for planting is exactly the opposite
of that recommended by all authorities
from time immemorial, inasmuch as the
latter departs farthest from nature's
method of &eed, which experience of the
paat proves to be the best, and to which
I claim my method is superior. The
close root-pruned tree strikes several
strong penetrating tap-roots, instead of
one, like a seedling, and sends them much
deeper.

"2. I claim that deep preparation of
the ground, as now recomaiended, is
equally far from the truth, and nature 's
method of a firm, unbroken soil, inas-
much as such deeply pulverized ground,
after excessive rains, even though well
drained, will for several days become a
bog, to drown and scald the young root-
lets in summer and freeze them to death
in winter at the north.

"3. That all cultivation of trees after
several years, when the feeding roots
hunt the surface, is wrong per se, inas-
much as all trees depend upon these sur-
face roots for the proper development of
the fruit, both as to size and quality,
and any cultivation must necessarily be
destructive to them. From the very

start, except a space around each tree
large enough to prevent damage from
the mowing blade, frequent and close
mowing through the growing season, leav-
ing the clippings on the ground, is the
best pian for all close root-pruned trees,
with annual fertilizing to perfect the
crop. But please take notice that I do
not recommend this treatment for poor,
handicapped, three and four-year-old,
long, fibrous-rooted trees, if planted as
they come from the nursery.

"4. That all tall, winter and spring
pruning, until after the trees are in full
growth, is contrary to nature and com-
mon sense, in that it, as well as fall,
winter and early spring stirring of the
ground, tends to break our trees' rest
and start a premature motion of the
sap. ' '

The 146 pages of the book are devoted
to proving the correctness of the system
of close root-pruning and to illustrations
of the process, together with the author 's

C H. Kunzman.

views on various phases of the successful
management of fruit trees. It is stated
that ' ' quite a number of nurserymen,
some of them the most extensive in the
Union, are now practicing this method"
of close root-pruning, and certainly
every one who grows trees will find the
book well worth reading and the method
worth trial in a cautious way.

NOTES FROM ENGLAND.

Little disease is now seen in English
rose houses, that formerly ruinous
trouble, mildew, having almost disap-
peared. Some years ago many went out
of rose growing solely because they could
not cope with mildew, but since the_value
of sulphur has been fully recognized
very few are troubled with it.

At the Royal Horticultural Society's
show on May 1 W. Paul & Sons exhibited
some fine new rambler roses, such as are
probably destined to become useful com-
mercial sorts, Wedding Bells and another
variety, called Friar, being especially
fine. A new hybrid tea called Warrior
looks like being useful for cutting.

It is remarkable that of the great
number of new sorts of narcissus raised
of late years and put on the market.

how few there are of any commercial
use, Bicolor Victoria being the only one
used in big quantities. It is one of the
best and easiest forcers, the perianth be-
ing pure white, making it a true bicolor.
Outdoors the perianth is yellow, trum-
pet goldfin, very broaSly expanded and
heavily frilled and of immense substance.
It can be bard forced for blooming in
fine quality immediately after Christmas.
A list of sorts forced will be interesting
for comparison with those used in the
States: Poeticus omatus, Sir Watkin,
Golden Spur, Emperor, Princeps, Hors-
fieldii. Empress, Victoria and Sir Henry
Irving.

Spanish iris is very plentiful from
forced stock and this year has proved a
profitable item. Growers are ordering
from Holland in greatly increased quan-
tities. If the increased popularity con-
tinues, both for forcing and outdoor
use, a rise in price may be expected for
the bulbs at no distant date.

Hydrangea hortensis is especially fine
this year and grand plants are seen, car-
rying giant heads of bloom, in some
cases over nine inches across, the only
fault being the color, few being able to
get their stock the beautiful bright sky
blue such as are seen in some establish-
ments. Where the blue coloring is
brought out well some high prices are
made. An old market grower told me
the other day the way to obtain these
bright blues is to use a few lumps of
alum placed over the drainage when pot-
ting, and when the plants show bloom
they are watered two or three times each
week with alum water. The method
sounds too easy to be effective.

HELP WANTED.

If evidence were lacking of the great
prosperity and rapid expansion in the
florists' business, it would be found in
the large demand for competent help in
all departments of the business. Always
at this season all available help is em-
ployed, but this year more than any
other, work is delayed because of an in-
sufficient amount of labor to accomplish
all which is to be done within a stated
period.

There is call, first for men who have
the knowledge necessary for producing
general stock for retail trade; such men
as couple an acquaintance with plants
with dependability and clean living.
Then there is demand for men as assist-
ant growers under foremen in the big
cut flower ranges. Also there are in-
numerable places open for men capable
of taking charge in the absence of the
owner — men with records for sobriety
and faithfulness which inspire confi-
dence. Also there is need for more
workers in wholesale stores, in retail
stores and "on the road." In fact, a
man who is able to do things in any
branch of the florists' business, unless
there is some weak spot in his character,
need not be for long out of remunerative
employment, and the young men are be-
ing advanced with much rapidity into
responsible places.

The "want" columns of the Review
afford a good index to the condition of
the labor market in our trade. In it
are advertised the best positions; to it
the best men turn when in need of situa-
tions. At present it is a one-aided
column — mostly all "help wanted";
not many men are out of work, for
growers are all busy.

The Market

Since the rush of Decoration day,
trade has been quiet; still it could be
much worse and there is little cause to
complain. The regular crop of June
weddings and commencements is begin-
ning, with a corresponding increase in
demand. The coming week wiU be the
banner week of the month, and business
will be fine, without a doubt. Already
there havo been enough orders booked to
make this an assured fact. With this
prospect in view the entire craft is in
good humor.

The supply of roses has been fair and
the quality, if anything, is somewhat
better, owing to cooler weather. Beauties
are arriving in much larger quantities
and there is a good demand for them.
Carnations are slacking up a little and
there are none too many on the market.
The price holds up well and may go
higher with the increased demand. Sweet
peas soil fairly. Other items of stock
are selling out well.

Various Notes.

The local investigating committee took
out subpoenas for Julius Baer, E. G.
Gillett, Joseph Glins, C. J. Jones, David
Knott and William Turner. They were
before the grand jury May 31 to tell
what they know of municipal affairs.

The annual election of the Florists'
Society will be held in the club rooms
Saturday, June 9. It is expected that
this will be an unusually large meeting,
owing to the many subjects of special in-
terest that will be brought up.

W. K. Partridge has purchased fifty
acres of land adjoining his present
place. He will use this farm to obtain
soil for his benches.

Mr. Trinz, of Lubliner & Trinz, Chi-
cago, was a caller, as was Mrs. Wm.
Dittmann, of New Castle, Ind.

GRAND RAPIDS. MICH,

The weather conditions for May were
of extremes, cold the fore part of the
month, we were treated to July heat
for about ten days, having a very de-
moralizing effect on roses; the carna-
tions stood it better. A rainy week
helped produce a bad dose of mildew.

Flowers were scarce for Memorial day
particularly with those who have a ship-
ping trade, and of shipping orders not
more than forty per cent were filled.
All plants in bloom sold well, nothing
salable in bedding stock being left. All

are rushed with the work of getting bed-
ding done. The quantity of hanging
baskets and window or porch boxes used
is considerable, as they are all the rage.

Salvias are extensively used and are
becoming more popular each year, 3-inch
pots bring 75 cents per dozen; 4-inch $1.
They are easily grown and more profit-
able than geraniums.

The weather has been ideal for carna-
tion planting, a -rain having occurred
just about when needed. G. F. C.

DETROIT.

TIm Market

Good business and the scarcity of stock
have kept every one on the jump the last
few days. A number of commencement
exercises, receptions and confirmations
have livened business considerably. The
scarcity of wedding decorations, or at
least inquiries in regards to prices, has
been very noticeable.

While roses have been quite plentiful,
carnations have been unusually scarce,
but the shipments are larger today, so
it is hoped that the .ghortage was only of
a few days' duratioit Sweet peas are
plentiful but the demand is equal to the

supply, except for pink, which are com-
mencing to pile up. Peonies are just
appearing.

Various Notes.

Taepke is cutting from 2,000 to 3,000
carnations daily at the new range of
glass. This has gone a long way toward
eliminating the scarcity of this popular
flower in this market.

Breitmeyers have been exceedingly busy
with several wedding decorations. A
large stock of outdoor stuff from their
place at Mount Clemens adds consider-
able variety to their sales.

Charles Warncke is suffering from an
attack of rheumatism.

The last three weeks have been very
busy ones for B. Schroeter and his staff.
Being located near Elmwood cemetery
for over thirty years, he does most of
the bedding, besides having numerous
jobs about town and in the suburbs.

The Bemb Floral Co. makes a spe-
cialty of Japanese decorating. Cork
bark is also used extensively by this en-
terprising firm, one of their best selling

novelties being ferneries and plant-boxes
covered by this useful materiaL

Confirmation wreaths excited consid-
erable interest among many of the re-
tailers, everything available, from bridal
wreath to valley, being used. Customers
in 1907 will &id the price of these
wreaths advanced considerably, as the
florists have come to the conclusion that
there is no money in them under $2,
while one containing three dozen valley
should bring $3 at least.

The Michigan Cut Flower Exchange,
reports a very good month. Mr. Dilger
being busy in the parks, has thrown the
detail of this concern on Eobert
Rahaley's shoulders. He has shown him-
self more than capable.

The Detroit Cut Flower Supply House
also reports a very good month. This
concern is handling some very fine roses
from Pierce, at Pontiac.

Bernard Koeberle, for many years
with B, Schroeter, has accepted a posi-
tion at Breitmeyers'.

Wm. Hielscher's wire works is adding!
to its list of employees. Besides doing
all the floral design work for Detroit
and vicinity, they do lots of special
work.

Visitors: Martin Eeukauf, Philadel-
phia; Arnold Bingier, Chicago; James
F. Smith, Philadelphia; Mr. Mellstrom,
with Sander & Son, of England.

WORMS IN SOIL.

Will you please tell us what to do
to be rid of the little worm that eats
our radishes, cabbages and cauliflower?
It is so bad we cannot raise any early
crop. The ground is full of them. What
is the cause and remedy? J. D.

The trouble you describe is a very
common one; in fact, very few Old gar-
dens, or soils that have been used for
garden purposes, are free from it, espe-
cially if it has been receiving liberal
dressings of barnyard manure, as this
material seems to attract the flies which
deposit eggs in it; and also seems to
be an ideal hatchery for the young
larvae. In soils of a light, sandy nature
or in soils that have been lying in grass
for several years, they seldom prove
troublesome.

A liberal dressing of air-slaked lime
in the spring, in place of manure, will
be found advantageous, but in the mean-
time to help stop the immediate ravages
of the insects, give the plants, soon after
they are up, a good watering with Ume
water. This may be prepared by soak-
ing over night about a peck of hot lime
in a barrel of water, draining off and
usine..the clear water next day. This
should be applied about twice a week,

A solution of nitrate of soda at the
rate of two ounces to ten quarts of
water has also proved destructive to this
pest, but as with the Ume water, it must
be started in the early stages of growth
and kept up to be effective,

A good deal may be accomplished
toward the checking of the trouble by
judicious rotation of crops. In ground
that has been occupied by such crops
as com, on which the insects cannot
work, the previous season, the soil has a
good chance of being pretty well clear,
but some chemical manure, such as super-
phosphate of lime, should be applied to
the soil instead of the barnyard article.
The superphosphate is used at the rate
of from 200 to 300 pounds to the acre.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

Business held steady up to Saturday
in the mid-afternoon. Late receipts on
that day congested the market and the
slump began. This week opened with
heavy receipts in all departments, sup-
plies being several times the legitimate
demand and prices broke on everything
but the select goods, and even on these
concessions were made. It looks as
though this week will see a glut even
worse than the exceedingly bad one of
a fortnight ago. The change was one
of the most sudden on record in a market
widely known for its violent fluctuations.
About the only consolation growers are
likely to get out of this week's figures
will come by averaging them with the
fine ones of last week.

There is still mucn good material but
with 88 degrees in the shade Monday
and 90 degrees Tuesday all kinds of
stock suffered in quality. Brides and
Maids again grew smaller anu soft.
Most carnations are also diminutive and
lack keeping quality. Peonies are wide
open. The outdoor valley came hurrying
in. Sweet peas no longer require super-
latives for description. That summer is
here was shown by the first receipts of
water lilies. The supply of green goods
is not up to the requirements of the
June brides and some of them will likely
have to do without smilax or asparagus
unless orders are placed early. New
ferns are everywhere.

Decoration Day Aftermatli.

Last week's Eeyiew went to press in
the height of the rush, but nothing re-
mains for the second telling but to em-
phasize the satisfaction with which
wholesalers sum up the week. The total
sales were, with practically every house
in town, considerably the best ever
recorded for Decoration day. The de-
mand was something to marvel at. Sup-
plies were less than had been expected,
because of three cold days, and orders
had to be cut. It was inevitable that
prices should advance, and advance they
did, sharply, all along the line. For the
last few days the wholesalers, who a
week before were explaining to growers
who protested that stock was being given
away, have been excusing themselves to
buyers who assert that they were
"roasted" on prices for Decoration day.
And now the glut is on again. Whichever
way the market goes, the commission men
stand between the devil and the deep
sea. They like the short end best, if
things won't come out even, and they
seldom do.

Peonies.

A week before Decoration day fear
was expressed that peonies would be a
glut; but the southern crop passed and
the local stock proved a week late, so
that, with a scarcity in other lines, con-
ditions were as though made to order
for the holders of cold-storage peonies.
The principal lots were the Sarcoxie
crop stored by Kennicott Bros. Co. and
the Carbondale crop of E. E. Kennicott,
stored and distributed by his father and
brother. Kennicott Bros. Co. in particu-
lar was fortunate in a large supply, for
everything cleaned up at fine figures;
indeed, the demand was not wholly sup-
plied.

It was peculiar that peonies brought
better prices for a CQuple of days after

Decoration day than they did before;
demand continued and supplies were
light, except local Old Eed. This week
the glut is on again heavier than ever.
Too bad the newly converted vegetarianB
can not eat them. It will take little
more than the rest of the week to work
through the local crop, and then will
come another fortnight of good business
for those who know how peonies should
be stored.

For the past couple of years the car-
load shipments of the Chicago Carnation
Co. have been a feature of the peony
market, but this year these are missing
because most of the stock was divided
and replanted last fall. They have about
an acre of singles in bloom and are
cutting moderately of other sorts.

Bassett & Washburn are cutting a
big crop of peonies thi^ week, part
for current order, but 2,000 dozens go
into cold storage.

Street Stands Removed. '

The commissioner of public works on
June 1 ordered the removal of all side-
walk stands throughout the loop district.
The order applied to fruit as well as
flower stands and the Greeks and South
Water street are up in arms. They will
bring all possible influence to bear to
secure a modification of the order, which
now permits no selling on the sidewalk,
even by the tenant of the property.

The market is feeling the effect this
week, for several of the largest buyers
of job lots are temporarily out of busi-
ness. As the frequent crusades against
the Greeks never are of more than
transient effect, some of the wholesalers,
while sympathizing with the retailer
under whose nose a stand is operating,
are inclined to deprecate these periodical
interruptions as in the end not profitable
to anyone.

And in the end the Greek, driven off
the street, gets a store next to the regu-
lar florist, where he becomes a much more
damaging competitor.

Qub Picnic.

The entertainment committee of the
Florists' Club held a meeting Monday
morning and decided to issue a call for
a big picnic on Sunday, June 24, at
Hjginbotham 's woods, Joliet, 111. It is
several years since the club has in-
dulged its old-time proclivities for pic-
nicking. Baseball and other games are
scheduled, with liberal prizes. Every one
is to bring a basket of provender. Eail-
road tickets will be on sale at all the
wholesale stores by June 11 and it is
expected that a record crowd will turn
out.

Cape Jasmines.

Although all other houses handle cape
jasmines, E. F. Winterson Co. had the
largest supply for Decoration day and
the store has since been odoriferous with
the daily receipts of many thousands of
capes. The Texas crop was a few days
late for the best demand. The capes have
brought from $1 a hundred down to $1
or less a thousand, largely according to
the skill used in bunching. Some of the
stock was tied six in a bunch and placed
loose in berry crates; it did not realize
express charges. Na better stock, all at
the same stage, all of the same length,
bunched with heads even, above the
green, wrapped tightly in newspapers,
sold in preference to buds put up in
any other way. In general prices have

Forty-seventh Street.

The greenhouse on the roof that
thousands see from the elevated railroad
each day, is over the store of J. W.
Niesen, who is doing a nice business.
It is the old Holden stand. Mr. Niesen,
who is a graduate of Wienhoeber 's, uses
the greenhouse for bedding plants. He
has done a large trade this spring in
filling window boxes.

Julius Schnapp recently opened at
Forrestville and Forty-seventh. The store
makes a fine showing from the street
and the neighborhood is an excellent one.
A prosperous business is sure to result
with time and good work. Mr.
Schnapp 's right hand man is bis daugh-
ter, a clear-headed attractive young per-
son who is sure to make friends for the
store.

Over at Lake avenue, close by the
Illinois Central station and in one of the
best locations on the south side, the
Johnson & Swan store has been so long
established that it has a trade which has
stayed with it through several changes in

Weather in May.

Meteorologically May was a most
peculiar month. On the 9th, 36 degrees
was registered and on the 17th, 90 de-
grees; on the 27th, 42 degrees. There
was heavy frost on the 9th and light
frost on the 10th. The rainfall was 2.09
inches; in 1905 it was 5.14 inches and
the average for thirty-six years is 3.46
inches. There were nine clear days, eight
cloudy and fourteen partly cloudy. The
average velocity of the wind was fifteen
miles per hour, prevailing direction south-
west.

Variotsi Notes.

H. N. Bruns sails at the end of June
for a visit with his brother at Hamburg
and to have a look at the lily of the
valley. Mr. Biuns is among the largest
importers of valley pips, forcing about a
million a year, to say nothing of the
large business done in the sale of re-
tarded pips. He says that ever since
Easter the demand for cut valley has
been excellent and the average price in
May exceptionally good for that month.
June starts off with mor6 business than
he can take care of.

street side of the Atlas block, where
Manager Jos. Foerster is more than
pleased with the facilities of the new
store, which is four times the size of the
old one. The new ice-box is his especial
pride. Although the move was only a
matter of fifty feet, and in the same
builoing, a different mail carrier serves
at the new address, hence the change in
street number.

Kruchten & Johnson, the new whole-
sale firm, opened June 2 at the quarters
vacated hj Mr. Reinberg. They express
themselves as more than pleased with
the business to date. At present their
stock is principally roses and carnations,
but shortly a full line will be carried
and they propose to make a bid for the
shipping business.

E. C. Amling is congratulating himself
that he was especially favored in the
matter of quality of supplies for Decora-
tion day. For years he has preached the
wisdom of taking good care of the plants
through a glut in anticipation of the in-
evitable reaction. The growers who fol-

lowed his advice profited by it at Decora-
tion day. Fred Weber's crop of summer
Beauties in finest order is coming in
handy.

C. M. Dickinson announces that E. H.
Hunt has the general western agency for
the Sabin plant stand, which has been
so favorably received in the east. A
small brass model of the stand rests on

of securing a number of nice orders prior
to the receipt of the stock.

One of the polling places for Monday's

Saturday evening the elect of the be^
nighted town of Blue Island were
initiated to active membership in the
select society of "the ridge," as the
Morgan Park neighborhood is known.
Among those called from the outer
darkness were Mr. and Mrs. W. N. Rudd.

On May 31 D. W. Brant's lease ex-
pired on Mr. Noe's interest in the firm

rebuilt in the most modern way.

Peter Keinberg is having an exception-
ally heavy cut of Liberty, which is in
especial demand just now.

C. W. McKellar is receiving daily
shipments of cattleyas. He finds they
keep best with the stems imbedded in a
crock of sphagnum moss — but he only
keeps them until time to send out on
orders, for demand is excellent.

Sam Pearce reports this his best season

cleaned out.

The Central Floral Co. moved oi\ Mon-
day to its new stand at 68 State street.

Gus Fredrickson, of St. Joe, was in

and he was short on geraniums.

John Zech served Monday as a judge

The Chicago Rose Co. contemplates

J. B. Deamud Co. has large receipts of

J. A. Budlong 's say that peonies afford

Decoration Day Trade.

We have had two weeks of good
business. Decoration day brought a
great demand, thought by many to be
the largest by far ever done in Colum-
bus. The increase is variously estimated
to be from fifty to 100 per cent. There
were two flowers that were in greatest
demand and divided the honors, carna-
tions and peonies. Both were available
in immense quantities, but sold out clean.
Indeed, peonies were oversold, several
disappointing their customers in not be-
ing able to furnish them in sufficient
quantities. Stock of all kinds was in
good demand and the consequence was
that a higher level of prices was main-
tained over the holiday. The best En-
chantress and Lawson carnations were
retailed at $1 a dozen, and peonies from
75 cents to $1. I mention these two
items to illustrate the good market we
had. What helped things, perhaps more
than anything else, was the absence of
much outdoor stock.

The Livingston Seed Co. has done a

well as some choice retinosporas of va-

Some of the craft who lost many of
their geranium customers, because others
sold lower than $1 a dozen, have dis-
covered that 3-inch stock was supplied
as against 4-inch, and as a final clincher,
the plants were planted without extra

The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. has sold

about like so much money.

they could not get enough to go around.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

The market the past week was much
firmer. Decoration day trade cut quite
a figure this year, as most of the re-
tailers report a big business in cut
flowers, designs and plants. The florists
who do business near the cemeteries had
about all they could handle. Prices on
stock went up, but for that day only.
First-class stock in all lines is very
scarce, but plenty of stock is to be had
in the second gfades. The few cool
nights the past week have mildewed all
the rose stock very badly, especially
Bride and Maid. American Beauties are
in good demand. Extra fancies are not
very good in quality, but there are plenty
of medium and shorts of better quality.

Carnations are keeping up fine and sell-
ing well, but Lawson and white are
scarce. Enchantress is plentiful. White
is the best seller.

Peonies are about over. Field daisies

are coming in. Sweet peas are more
plentiful, but very short in stem. Cape
jasmines are offered very cheap by the
Third street commission men. All kinds
of greens are in the market.

A number of orders are booked ahead
for this week for weddings and school
commencements, some of them very
elaborate affairs.

The bedding season is about over and
everybody is well satisfied with the plant
trade.

Variouf Notes.

Miss Dora Halstead, daughter of A. S.
Halstead, of Belleville, was married on
Saturday to C. J. Stovel, of Detroit.

Tom Wilson, one of the oldest florists
at Kimmswick, Mo., is reported very sick.
Dr. Halstead, of Belleville, who is at-
tending him, says that there is very little
hope for his recovery.

Charles Wors and Charles Eichards
are out picking ferns for the local trade.
Wild adiantum and daggers are what
they bring in.

Frank and Walter Weber, of H. J.
Weber & Sons' nunsery, visited the Kirk-

wood florists last week and found them
all in first-class shape.

A. S. Halstead, head of the St. Clair
Floral Co., Belleville, called last week
and reported a very busy plant season.

The first Sunday opening of the year
of Shaw's Garden took place June 3.
The crowd broke all records for at-
tendance. It was 27,831. The garden is
in first-class shape. Prof. Trelease and
Irish, and Messrs. McClure and Thomp-
son, and A host of students were on hand
to welcome the visitors.

Henry Lohrenz, who runs the Park
Floral Co., on Park avenue, reports he
did a fine business in plants this season.
He says that down in a deep well on
Gravious road, near the captain's house,
is his hoodoo and he expects to bowl
better from now on, and expects to be on
the convention team this year.

The local nurserymen are making ar-
rangements to entertain the nurserymen
next Monday, when they pass through
here on their way to Dallas, Tex., where
the annual convention will be held.

BOSTON.

The Market
For a few ilays after Memorial day a
comparatively small amount of stock aj)-
peared and prices ruled high. A better
t supply is now forthcoming and lower
I quotations prevail. Later Memorial day
reports go to emphasize the fact that the
business transacted this vear far ex-
ceeded that of any of its* predecessors.
All outlying cities from which we have
had reports state that everything in the
nature of a flower was sold and in many
cases orders were refused.

There is a good supply of roses now
coming in and values are drooping once

r^lTm ^ ^''"'■y ^^^' Beauties reach $1.5
to JO per hundred. On other roses $6
I to ^H are top prices and many go at $1
I to .V. Some outdoor .J acqs will appear
MMthin a day or two. These will sell
p^eii tor .Tune weddings. Carnations are
I not now of good quality, $3 being top

price on these, ordinary grades making
only half this price. Sweet peas, too,
sell well. Gladioli and lilies are both
rather scarce. Outdoor valley is about
over, but very good forced stock is ar-
riving and makes ip-2 to $3. Such flowers
as stocii^s, candytuft, German iris, an-
tirrhinum, etc., meet with rather a slow-
sale. Pa'onia officinalis is the only variety
seen in any number on the market as yet.
These sell well. A few double pink ones
appeared this weeK. Two or three more
days will see an abundant supply, how-
ever.

There is a good call for green goods,
asparagus and smilax ^eing in best de-
mand.

Rhododendron Show.

June 2 was too early for hardy
rhododendrons, as the exhibition proved.
There will no doubt be a better display
of these at the coming peony show. For
twelve varieties of unquestioned hardi-
ness, Mrs. J. L. Gardner, Wm. Thatcher
gardener, was the only exhibitor. For
six varieties, Mrs. A. W. Blake, J. L.
Smith, gardener, was first and Geo. F.
Fabyan, James Stuart, gardener, second.
For twelve varieties hardv azaleas, Mrs.
A. W. Blake led, lollowed'by Wm. Whit-
man, M. Sullivan, gardener, and T. C.
Thurlow. For six varieties, Mrs. J. L.
Gardner was first and W. Whitman sec-
ond. The latter took both first and sec-
ond for a single truss and was also
first for thirty-six vases German iris.
Mrs. J. L. Gardner was in the lead for
thirty bottles pyrethrums, W. Whitman,
second. The latter took first for collec-
tion of tree peonies, T. C. Thurlow,
second.

Mrs. J. L. (Jardner had the best col-
lection of cut blooms and foliage of
ornamental trees and shrubs, W. H.
Ileustis, second. Blue Hill Nurseries,
as usual, led for thirty bottles of
herbaceous plants with a very good lot.
J. E. Leeson had the only table of
orchids arranged for effect, winning the
Applcton silver gilt medal. A new
.Japanese viburnum from T. C. Tfiurlow
wa,^ awarded honorable mention.

Jn the way of miscellaneous exhibits,
.1. E. Rothwell, Emil Johansson, gardener,
received a first-class certificate for
La^lio-cattleya Acis (Lslia tenebrosa x
Cattleya Mendelii) and a similar award
for Lselio-cattleya Marguerite (La?lia
purpurata x Cattleya Mossise vestalis>.
He also showed several other interest-
ing hybrids and a good vase of
Phala?nopsis amabilis and Rimestadtiana
and Odontoglohsum crispum. Harvard
Botanic Gardens uad an extensive col-
lection of hardy herbaceous plants and
tlicre were displays by Wm. Whitman, T.
('. Thurlow, Mrs.^E. iV. Gill, N. F. Cow-
ley, C. W. Parker. Mrs. J. L. Gardner,
who filled a large table with rhododen-
drons, and others.

Variouf Notes.

W^elch Bros, are receiving some superb
lily or the valley and Kaiserin roses from
Carl Jurgens, Newport, R. I. They sold
several thousand peonies for Memorial
day and could have disposed of many
more could they have procured them.
They report far the heaviest Memorial
day trade in their history.

where, but Monday night it was cloudy
and there was no snap left in things.

Peonies are coining in great quanti-
ties. Before the week is over there will
be a flood. Fine stock will bring good
prices, but there is a lot that will be un-
salable at any price and much of the
southern shipments were disposed of only
because of scant supply. A good deal
of stock was shipped to other cities for
Decoration day.

Roses especially felt the strain on
Monday and fell in value rapidly. Many
were closed out as low as $5 a thousand.
Beauties were of poor quality, most of
them, and $15 per hundred was top. Car-
nations maintain their quality, but prices
arc cut in two.

Cattleya gigas is grand in size and
brings better prices than a week ago.

Variotti Notei.

Next week, Wednesday and Thursday,

the Horticultural Society, of New York,
holds its summer show at the Museum
building, in Bronx park. It is to be
hoped a better attendance than that of
a month ago may afford encouragement
to the managers.

Next Monday evening, June 11, the
final meeting of the New York Florists'
Club for the summer will be held at its
rooms in the Grand opera house. This
will be ladies' night and peony night
and elaborate preparation is being made.
The entertainment committee has sev-
eral surprises and Prof. Nugent will re-
veal some practical demonstrations of his
culinary skill. The exhibit of cut flowers
will be very interesting, several of the
large growers of peonies having prom-
ised to ship in variety. The attendance
should be large. President Kasting is
expected and will have a royal welcome.

Brooklyn wholesalers all seem to be
doing an excellent business. Mr. Craw-
buck, of Hicks & Crawbuck, Inc., re-
ports an excellent supply trade as the
result of a business trip just concluded
through Jersey, Connecticut and Long
Island. Wm. H. Kuebler finds his new
store none too large for his increasing
business, and Bonnet & Blake have
moved to 106 Livingston street, close

to their old store, where much better
facilities may be enjoyed.

Marshall & Co., on West Twenty-third
street, have developed a big retail seed
business on this great thoroughfare, and
their store now compares in size and
convenience with many of the down-town
seed stores.

Max Limprecht has had more than his
share of misfortunes lately. In addition
to the fire, which destroyed his entire
stock, he is now laid up at home helpless
from locomotor ataxia. His family will
continue the business.

The early closing movement among the
M-holesalers begins to take shape and
bids fair to be almost universal.

This has been an abnormal season with
the auctioneers. The marts are crowded
and buyers pay big prices for many
things. But one seldom sees a retail
florist. Gardeners come occasionally, but
suburbanites are the patrons that have
lifted the scheme into life again. Among
those who ship stock to the auction
rooms I note Dryer, Lorenz, Henderson,
Thumann, Daly and Louie Schmutz.
Jjorenz has sold his property on Long
Island to the real estate boomers.

day in Bay Kidge, Brooklyn, apparently
by a trolley, but many things indicate
a deliberate murder, the body being
placed on the track to obliterate evi-
dence of tfae crime.

Jos. Fasinella, of A. J. Guttman's
staff, was married on Sunday to Miss
Terangelo, of this city.

C. H. Grant, who was entrusted with
the responsibility of opening a flower
store at Long Branch for A. Hanig, of
Brooklyn, is missing. As he had con-
siderable money when he left the city,
foul play has been suggested.

The wonderful Belmont twenty-story
hotel has been made a bower by Ijcikens
with great palms, bay trees and gigantic
ficus. It is the most complete and in-
teresting hostelry from top to bottom in
this country. ,

Through Broker Hart a contract for a
term of years has been made whereby
Geo. Cotsonas & Co. come into possession
of the fine premises at 50 West Twenty-
eighth street, the first and second floors
being controlled by the firm. In the
upper floor a first-class restaurant will
be conducted. The street floor will be
used for headquarters for the galax and
fern business, and a portion of the floor,
it is understood, will be sub-let to one
of the wholesale cut flower men who has
long been in the market for a Twenty-
eighth street location.

Henry Crawbuck, of Brooklyn, pro-

?rietor of the supply establishment on
earl street, is summering at his home
in Chatham, N. J,, where he has a five-
acre place devoted to growing nursery
stock. He comes to Brooklyn daily, as
usual.

The Cut Flower Exchange reported no

pickled stock sent in for Decoration day.
Pickling cut flowers, like canned hogs
and chickens, has become unpopular. A
good sweeping exposure of the names of
the picklers would have stopped it years
ago. I'll try and send the name of
every grower who sends in a pickled rose
next Christmas. *

Smith's stock of candytuft and stocks
on the Exchange floor couldn't be ex-
celled.

Bonnot Bros, did a lot of shipping for
the holiday, and the day before, among
other stock handled over 6,000 of the
Dorrance roses.

Frank Millang reports the best
Decoration day business in his long
career. Mr. Millang has just purchased
a summer home near Lake Mahopac,
Westchester county, with eighty acres of
fine land, only forty miles from the
city, where he is now located with hia
family.

Moore, Hentz & Nash are proud of
the Brides and Maids sent daily by J.
T. Wagner, of Chatham, one of their
champion growers. Sidney Nash, son of
John Nash, of this firm, has been dis-
tinguishing himself in aquatic contests.

A. L. Young is located for the summer
at Suffrens, N. Y., in Bockland county.

A, M. Henshaw is much pleased with
his venture onto the wholesale sea and
maintains a reputation for fine roses,
many of them from his own greenhouses.

Ford Bros.' big ice-box had a wonder-
ful display of carnations Monday, some
10.000 of 'them.

Last week I gave a brief description
of the new floating palace, the Kaiserin
Auguste Victoria, in which suites cost
from $3,000 down, and said facetiously

that ' ' many a florist will make his
honeymoon trip on the boat." I meant
to include all departments of the trade,
and I am sure you will admit I spoke
prophetically, for I am advised M. Kice
and his bride are due June 15, return-
ing on this steamer from their wedding
trip to Europe. As B. Eschner says,
"Now Avill you be good I"

Carrillo & Baldwin, at Secaucus, report
a pleasant incident which happened a
few d.iys ago. They unpacked an im-
portation of Cattleya labiata and put
them out on the benches. They noticed
a bird flying about for several days and
after a while discovered that a sparrow
had taken possession of a clump of roots,
making its nest far down in the clump.
When found, there were four eggs, and
now there are four little birds. Quite a
number of orchid men have seen it and
say they never heard of such an occur-
rence.

Bowlins.

Flatbush bowlers did some excellent
practice work for Dayton last Thursday.
Louis Schmutz, the veteran, absorbed the
kitty with a score of 212. The scores of
two games were:

Capt. Lang, of New York, won as
first prize at the final games of his club
in New York last week, against a score
of competitors, a 40-dollar emblem, of
which he is justly proud.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

The consensus of opinion places the
Memorial day business above that of any
previous year. The bulk of the demand
came from points out of town, and called
for stock of medium grade. Fancy
flowers were not desired except in a few
cases. Carnations, peonies, and roses all
shared in popularity. It is understood
that the large majority of these flowers
were used for the purpose for which the
^lay IS set apart. '

The demand fj)r peonies and for car-
nations has fallen oflF since Memorial
^lay, but i:oses of the better grades are
in extremely brisk demand. Kaiserins
^^T^y^.y^ ^^ ^^°V- Beauties, Brides
and Maids are all eagerly sought for the
June weddings and commencements, now
taking place. Chief among the latter,
«ryn Mawr college, is giving our local
retailers a great deal of business. Sweet
peas are very plentiful, but their quality

is not quite so high as usual at this sea-
son ; the weather conditions have been
most trying. Valley of fine quality is
plentiful and in demand. Easter lilies
are over. There are a few callas, but
they seem to be nearly done.

The Peony Show.

The Pennsylvania Horticultural So-
ciety held its annual peony show in the
lecture room of Horticultural hall on
Thursday evening and during the day
Friday of last week. There were three
tables filled with vases of handsome
flowers. James W. Paul, Jr., Joseph
Hurley, gardener; John W. Pepper, Wil-
liam Kobertson, gardener, and Clement
A. Griscom, E. D. Barclay, superintend-
ent, were the principal prize winners, all
•three showing some excellent flowers.
The Henry A. Dreer Co. exhibited twen-
ty-eight vases of named varieties. Among
them were Asa Gray, light pink; Mons.
Paillet, pink; Duchesse de Nemours,
white; La Tulipe, white; Golden Harv-
est, pink and creamy white; Eose

d 'Amour, light pink; Delachii, red, and
M. Forel, soft pink.

Magazine Lane.

Tt is an old saying that the way to a
certain place, much warmer than is
pleasant, is paved with good intentions.
So Phil in looking in his notebook was
liorrified to find a promise over a year
ol('. that had not been fulfilled. It was
the only unkept promise in that note-
book, a slight consolation.

Down Twelfth street to the southwest-
ern trolleys, then to Magazine lane, there
is a big greenhouse plant of some 60,000
square feet of glass. The first man en-
countered inside the long shed was the
proprietor, John A. Shellem. Everybody
knows Mr. Shellem, his freesias, his
peonies, his new rose, and his lifelong
friendship for Bobert Craig. He has
four acres of ground and twenty houses
on Magazine lane. They feed his store
at Seventeenth and Tasker streets and
overflow into the big wholesale houses.

He has a new 7,000-gallon water tank,

Varioui Notes.

Edward Reid has just received a very
appreciative letter from a customer to
whom he shipped a large order of cut
flowers. The weather was warm, the dis-
tance great, every flower reached its des-
tination in perfect condition; a high
tribute to Mr. Eeid's careful selection
and packing.

John A. Shellem wholesaled 19,400
peonies during the last fortnight of May,
pretty close to his prediction of 20,000.

Edward Towill, of Boslyn, is building
a new greenhouse 24x150, which will be
devoted to American Beauty roses, Eich-
mond, Liberty, Killarney, and — but you
will have to ask Mr. Towill what else he
is going to grow.

H. Bayersdorfer & Co. were closed on
the afternoon of Memorial day; a tele-
gram arrived for some supplies, the wire
was forwarded to Mr. Berkowitz's house.
He went to the store at once, personally
selected and packed the goods, and got
them off, by express. His customer
wrote to say he was much pleased.

Saturday afternoon. Norwood is the
growing place for the company's green-
houses at Forty-ninth and Market streets.
It consists of about sixteen acres. Only
a part is yet under cultivation. Crim-
son Rambler roses in quantity are
planted. There is, as yet, no glass at
Norwood. A game of baseball was

played between teams captained by Fred
Schelsky, who superintends the cut
flower department, and the treasurer,
Robt. A. Craig. The latter 's nine wa.s
victorious; score, 6 to 4. Possibly the
ladies favoring this nine applauded the
most heartily. Music and refreshments

Decoration Day Trade.

In liis address at Congressional ceme-
tery, Hon. Albert F. Dawson, of Iowa,
said: "The signifi.iance of Memorial
day increases with each passing year.
It has a deeper meaning today than it
had ten years ago, and ten or twenty
years hence it will be held in deeper
reverence than it is now. Each recur-
ring year brings to the living with great-
er force the obligations which we owe to
those whose memories we honor this day
by strewing their graves with the
choicest flowers, and as the years go
by and our country increases in great-
ness and power this sense of obligation
to those who made this greatness possi-
ble will increase and deepen."

be a most comprehensive statement, and
its significance is of importance to the
trade. There is an ever increasing de-
mand for good stock for decorative pur-
poses, and dealers should be prepared to
meet it. Peonies, roses, carnations,
sweet peas and numerous cheaper stocks,
were about cleaned up. Peonies seemed
to lead, as immense quantities were sold,
prices ranging from $1 to $2,50 per
dozen. At Arlington National cemetery,
I was struck with the profuse use of
these flowers, as well as roses and car-
nations. Though there were a few good
specimens of dry work, fresh flowers
were the rule.

Five years ago S. E. Whitney, a G.

tice a happy thought. He had noticed
that while soldiers' graves were deco-
rated, the sailors who died for their
country seemed to be forgotten. With
his own hands, Mr. Whitney built a little
boat; on Decoration day he loaded it
Avith flowers and launched it on the
bosom of the broad river that sweeps by
the national capital on its course to the
sea. Every year he repeats the cere-
mony, President Roosevelt this year

mating will b« held at Toledo, O , June 2e-28, 1906.

EvEEYTHiNO points to an unusually
large attendance at the seed trade con-
vention this month.

The acreage of radish for seed in the
Michigan section is reported slightly
larger than last year.

B. B. McGiLL, of the W. W. Barnard

and will spend a fortnight's vacation in
New Jersey. ,

Jesse E. Northrup is vice-president
of the board of park ' commissioners at
Minneapolis, his board membership ex-
tending to 1909.

Turnip seed is moving out in good
shape and the prospects are that an
excellent business will be recorded on
this item before the close of the season.

Frank Hoermann, Terre Haute, Ind.,
reports that market garden trade has
taken a new lease of life since the recent
rains, prior to which planters were pretty
well discouraged.

The universal postal congress at
Bome has increased the international
letter weight unit from a half ounce to
an ounce, making the new rate 5 cents
for the first ounce and 3 cents for each
additional ounce.

The Louisville & Nashville railroad is
endeavoring to establish cantaloupe
growing on a large scale along its Shef-
field and Tuscumbia branch in Tennes-
see. L. H. Lister is in charge and hopes
to rival the Bocky Ford district.

GENERAL CONDITIONS.

Peas.

Reports from all sections show a good
stand and all conditions favorable. .

Beans.

Planting is under way and reports
from all the stations show favorable
weather and the soil conditions good.

Onion Sets.

Louisville.— Acreage about equal to
last year; stand fair; weather favorable;
prospects good for an average crop.

Indianapolis.— Acreage less than last
year; stand poor to middling; prospect
for half a crop. Recent rains have im-
proved conditions somewhat and the out-
, look IS better than a week ago.

, Chillicothe.— Acreage less than last
iyear; stand good; condition favorable-
, crop will be below average owing to re-
! dueed acreage.

Chicago.— Acreage equal to last year :
^ stand variable, excellent in some fields
and very poor in others; rain needed in
most localities; weeds bad with the
smaller growers. Several of the large
fields show a poor outlook for even half
a crop. On the whole it is thought that
I If rains and favorable conditions prevail

THE SEASON'S BUSINESS.

Henry F. Michell Co., Philadelphia:
— Business for 1906 has been very good,
considerably ahead of any previous year.
The orders already booked for bulbs for
autumn delivery are far ahead of last
year and the prospects for the rest of
the year are very satisfactory.

CuRRiE Bros. Co., Milvcaukee:— The
season 's seed trade in this section has not
been remarkable in any respect. We con-
sider it a fair average season in point of
sales. Crops generally are looking well.

John A. Salzer Seed Co., La Crosse,
"Wis.: — The main feature of this season's
trade as it came to us was the large
volume of February, which exceeded any
February that we have ever had, and
the length of the season. We are cer-
tainly much busier today, June 1, than
we were last year or the year before.

W, Atlee Burpee & Co., Philadel-
phia:— On the whole the season just
closed has been most satisfactory, not-
withstanding that several lines of seeds
have not moved as well as could have
been desired. Our total business, how-
ever, has been the largest we ever have
had and it was most gratifying to more
than make up in April the falling off of
our mail order business during March.
One of the influences that had the great-
est effect on business was the mild
weather during January and February,
when doubtless other seedsmen like our-
selves had the largest influx of orders
ever received in these two months.

Barteldes & Co., Denver: — In Colo-
rado we eonsider that trade in all lines
pertaining to the seed and floral busi-
ness has increased. We think that grow-
ers and dealers have had a better trade
than for several seasons previously. The
weather has been especially favorable for
crops in general.

J. M. Thorburn & Co., New York: —

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

June 7, 1000.

The nature of our business is such that
It varies little from year to year. This
■eason has been fully equal to those of
recent years, and, if anything, we think
we have noted some improvement.

A. C. Kendel, Cleveland: — It is too
«arly to say just what our total trade
for this spring will be, because we are
still very busy. The trade in small seeds
has been good; that on corn, on account
of dry weather which prevented plowing,
much below the average; that of peren-
nial plants two-thirds of last year and
that of bedding plants very much larger.
So far, the total has been satisfactory
and if the trade continues two weeks
longer we shall consider it excellent.

D. M, Ferry & Co., Detroit:— We pre-
fer not to say anything' for publication.

EUROPEAN SEED NOTES.

In looking back on the trade of the
past year one cannot help being struck
with the number of misfortunes and upa
and downs from one cause and another
the seed trade has experienced during
the last autumn and spring. Floods and
excessive rains have ruined many crops
in France, and also the latter has been
very disastrous to many English seed
crops. German crops, especially around
Erfurt, have suffered through adverse
weather, and also general bad trade has
left an unpleasant surplus of some arti-
cles, and more particularly of peas and
beans. This is amply proven by the
ridiculously low clearing-out offers some
of the continental houses are making to
the trade. The recent troubles in Russia
have almost prohibited trade with that
country, and their exports in many seed
lines have been almost nothing.

The mild winter in Holland caused a
very premature growth of some sorts of
bulbs, causing the winter covering to
have to be taken off entirely in some
cases in January, with the result that
many fields suffered badly by later
frosts, and now the last is the eruption
of Vesuvius, which has ruined many
crops arounci the fertile base of the
moiintain. Generally the elements have
been very hard on growers in Europe.

The seed trade in particular is one
that the season's crops depend especially
on the results of conditions prevailing
the year before. Consequently the full
force of this last season's bad conditions

The Market.

Decoration day business was the best
ever experienced, but the weather condi-
tions and shortage of stock were about
the worst that could have happened. The
hot spell of the week prior to Decoration
day, followed by cold and cloudy
weather, shortened stock to such an ex-
tent that calculations on receipts were
impossible. Outdoor stock was badly
checked and affected by the heavy rain
and cold nights, this throwing the entire
demand on roses, carnations and other
greenhouse stock. This being a day
when cheap stock mostly is wanted, it
was hardly possible to advance prices
above the usual quotations, but the stiff
market helped clean up inferior stock at
much better figures than what could have
been realized had weather been favorable
for supply. Therefore the average re-
turns were satisfactory.

lioc^Auyers who always depend on
the nfiH"ket, without placing orders, were
disappointed, as the advance shipping or-
ders cleaned up the bulk of the supply,
and extensive cutting on orders was
necessary to help everybody out on out-
side orders. The sharp advance within
a few days, especially on carnations,
confronted the retailers with many diffi-
culties, for many of the "10 cents a
dozen" signs were conspicuously dis-
played in some of the down-town estab-
lishments up to Saturday, when the price
jumped to 50 cents and 75 cents a dozen,
which probably had a demoralizing ef-
fect on the flower buyers. More uniform

prices would be a better rule and more
satisfactory all around.

There is still quite a quantity of bed-
ding stock on the market, but mostly
stock which was not in bloom when
needed. Geraniums were the heavy sell-
ers, although canpas, vincas, pansies and
verbenas sold well.

There were practically no jasmine or
peonies on the market.

Variottt Notes.

Fred Ernst has bought the establish-
ment of Hans Bartels, deceased, and will
continue the business at the old stand.

The C. C. Pollworth Co. took in sixty
cases of palms and araucarias which
came in from Belgium. They had a busy
week at their greenhouse plant.

The Holton & Hunkel Co. reports a
very satisfactory business right along.
They had a big May and expect a first-
class June. Incog.

BLUFFTON, IND.

Myers & Co. report their most success-
ful season, sales for Memorial day being
fully twenty-five per cent ahead of last
year. They were cleaned out of stock,
both in cut flowers and plants. They
have 16,000 square feet of glass and
will make an addition of about 6,000
feet this summer. Three houses each
will be lengthened twenty-one feet, and
a new house 24x121 will be built for
roses. This hoifse will have gutters set
six feet from the ground and will be
thoroughly modern in every feature of
its construction. With this addition,
making 22,000 feet of glass, they will be
prepared for another increase in business
next season and will add a department
for general wholesale gardening.

Winnipeg, Man. — Herbert W. Holl«,

The Market

The cut flower market has been in a
fair condition the past couple of weeks.
Decoration day was much ahead of last
year, peonies being the best sellers, and
carnations a close second. Steamer
trade is also reported by the retailers
as being on the increase. Commence-
ments have also helped to keep the mar-
ket in good shape. Eoses have been very
much affected by the hot weather, many
of thcni arriving open and soft. Car-
nations continue of very good quality
and plenty of them, with fair prices.
Peonies have been arriving in large
quantities. Some show the effect of the
drouth, but the larger portion of them

Gov. George C. Pardee, Prof, E. J.
Wickson and Benjamin Ide Wheeler,
comprising the commission appointed by
the last legislature to locate the southern
branch of the California Agricultural
Experiment Station and of the patholog-
ical laboratory, have made public their
decision. Eiverside has been awarded
the agricultural station, the site being
twenty-three acres at the base of Rubi-
doux heights, adjoining Huntington park,
donated by the promoters of the heights.

To Whittier has been awarded the path-
ological laboratory. The site is one acre
of land donated by the Pacific Electric,
the Whittier Citrus Association, the
Los Nietos Walnut Growers' Association
and the Whittier board of trade. The
two-story laboratory will be erected
there at once at a cost of $7,000. At
this station walnut blight will be studied,
also the diseases that ravage tomatoes
and the rust that attacks asparagus and
other vegetable life.

The work of the department will be
under the charge of Prof. Ralph E.
Smith, who will have Profs. H. J. Ram-
say and A. M. West as associates.

who have been making extraordinary ef-
forts to move their stock, and as a result
have had many large shipping orders
from interior points and from Oregon
and Nevada. It is not the custom with
a majority of the wholesale dealers to
ship stock otherwise than the varieties
they grow, but this season has been an
exception and great quantities of mixed
flowers have been handled by the rose
and carnation growers.

Flowers have not been very plentiful
either. The principal cause for this was
the fact that during the past six weeks
a great many growers have let large por-
tions of their stock dry out completely
and .only operate a few houses. As a
natui-al consequence for the past week
good stock has been scarce and the deal-
ers, many of whom booked large ship-
ping orders, had to scurry around at the
last moment to fill them. The first crop
of both roses and carnations is finished
and in any event good flowers are not
plentiful.

Another fact which added to the scar-
city of outdoor stock was that we had
several heavy rains, commencing May 26,
and the sweet peas suffered greatly. As
they are the most popular cheap flower
at this time and as enormous quantities
are shipped to other places during their
season, many dealers lost money in hand-
ling them. The price rose from 40 cents
per dozen bunches on the wfiek previous
to Decoration day, and at this time they
are scarce at $1 per dozen.

Quite a change has come over the
business aspect here. The wholesale
dealers have succeeded in establishing a
good o»t-of-town trade and from present
indications a great many of them will
be able to handle a goodly portion of
their output. This shipping haa of
course been especially active at this time,
but from indications a great many per-
nianeut customers have been secured by
growers who under the usual conditions
have refused to bother with out-of-town
trade.

With the retailers in Oakland things
were normal and quite up to last year's
trade at this time. Much of the poorer
quality of stock was used by the Italian
pet (Here, who swarmed the town, espe-
ciaJy in the neighborhood of the ceme-
teries.

In comparison with the prices secured

THE LAKE NURSERIES.

Big nurseries, where things grow un-
der well-directed labor, have been potent
factors in the growth and prosperity of
Shenandoah, Iowa. The D. S. Lake
nurseries have given work to a large
force and scores of men have made their
start there. When a man could find
nothing else to do, he got a spade or hoe
and went to Lake's. The story has often
been told of the raw Swede who, when
asked by an evangelist if he did not
want to work for the Lord, said, "Naw,
ay tank ye, ay got a yob at Dave
Lake's."

The Lake nurseries had many years
of struggle before they reached their
present standing. They have 500 acres
in "Shenandoah devoted to the raising of
trees, shrubs, flowers, etc., but this isn 't
all. In New York, Kansas and Colo-
rado, where climate and soil are espe-
cially adapted to the growth of certain
kinds of plant life, they raise immense
quantities of stock. This spring they
shipped 150 carloads of stock. They
annually import large quantities of stock
from France, upon which our own
choicer fruits are grafted. Nurserymen
have found that the French people, be-
cause of peculiar climate and soil or
better culture, can produce healthier and
stronger stock, in certain lines. The
Lakes turn out 2,000,000 grafts and 5,-
000,000 seedlings every year. They em-
ploy 100 to 200 hands and the annual
turn-over reaches at least $125,000 to
$150,000.

The firm is composed of the father
and two sons, all of the same large
mould. The sons are competent to step
into the shoes of the father, and their
sons will follow them, and so the big
nursery, like Tennyson 's brook, goes on
forever. When a man has established a
business that perpetuates itself, descend-
ing from sire to son, he may be said to

PITTSBUEG.

The Market

May finished up in fine style; every-
one busy along all lines, Plantamen
were in their glory. Anything with a
flower on it was salable at a good price.
Among the wholesale cut flower men
things were moving rapidly. It was the
biggest Decoration day on record and,
if it keeps on increasing, this occasion
will soon be as important as Easter.
The only trouble was a scarcity of stock ;
carnations and roses were much short
of the demand. Peonies arrived in quan-
tities and helped out, but some of the
wholesalers called it ' an unsatisfactory
business because there was not enough
stock to take proper care of all orders
and some had to be refused entirely.
The retailers had all they could do and
some worked all night May 29. All re-
port it ahead of any other year.

Eoses and carnations are showing the
effects of the sun. many Lawsons being
badly burned. Quite a number of rosea
are showing mildew and the question
among the dealers is as to what causes
it. Many of them say carelessness. Are
they right? Can it be possible that a
man would neglect his stock for a few
nights at the expense of several hundred
dollars, as there is always sale for all
the good roses during the first two or
three weeks of Junef

Frost gave some of the gardeners a
scare May 25 and in some places tomato
plants were caught. Hoo-Hoo.

Your paper is invaluable for both the
seedsman and florist; we like it and
here is a dollar for another year of it.

leans, La.

INDIANAPOLIS.

The Market.

We had fine weather for Decoration
clay and also a fine trade. All report
a general clean up of cut stock. The
majority had sold out by 11 o'clock.
The crowds going to the cemeteries were
larger than usual and the decorations
more general, all of which tends to
make good business for the florists. The
cooler weather during the few days prior
to May 30 shortened fthe supply of
flowers in all lines and made prices satis-
factory all around.

Variouf Notes.

Mr, Pettit, of Long Island, is to em-
bark in business here. He will com-
mence building at once and be ready for
the fall trade.

The different city parks look better
than usual, and that is saying a great
deal. H. Tall, the city florist, and his
corps of assistants, are to be congratu-
lated on the results of their efforts.

Herman Junge, of the Smith & Young
Co., is the cement expert. What he
doesn't know about cement isn't worth
trying to find out. He is now putting
in' cement benches that will never wear
out and cannot be broken. S.

Savanna, Ili* — J. Y. Lambert says
that Memorial day business exceeded ex-
pectations, although bad weather for two
days preceding hurt plant sales. The
rush for cut flowers brought the total
sales about twenty per cent above last
year.

Ionia, Mich. — Memorial day trade far
exceeded that of former years. Every-
thing was cleaned out. M. Wetterling
and D. L. Vincent did not have enough
to go around. The former had some
beautiful Crimson Ramblers and spirajas
just out that sold at sight. His pansy
trade was phenomenal.

The Weekly Florists' Review^

June 7, 1900.

NORTHERN TEXAS.

Weather conditions are becoming more
favorable and plants are showing the
effects. In my nine months' experience
in Texas I have learned several things,
among them being that tlie method of
growing in the north must be reversed
here. The sun shining more than in the
north, the east and west plan of build-
ing will not answer so well. During the
winter the mercury would register 70
degrees and in a few hours would drop
to 30 degrees. I find that too close watch
cannot be kept, and that one must be
alive to these changes and act quickly.

Mums are being planted on the
benches this week, and stock is in fine
shape.

1 have an idea that solid beds would
grow better carnations than raised
benches, as the solid beds would have a
tendency to keep the roots cool, where-
as the Ijenches soon dry out.

Asters are coming in bloom and sweet
peas are a sight. Herbaceous stock is
giving promise of fulfilling the faith
placed in it.

Landscape work is showing an upward
tendency and several large contracts
have been placed for next winter and
spring.

Great interest is being taken in the
nurserymen 's convention at Dallas and
a vast amount of good will be done.

Things in Dallas change so quickly
that it bewilders one. I understand
that the Dallas Bazaar has changed
hands and ie now controlled by the Dal-
las Floral Co. Also that Col. Green has
been buying up some of the other plants.
Fine progress is being made on the plant
of Col. Green, several houses being al-
most completed. Large quantities of
stock are being bought and no effort is
being spared to make it the finest plant
in the south. Narcissus.

Calumet, Mich. — This is one of the
localities where bedding begins late, and
at the Lutey Greenhouses the rush is just
beginning. Trade has all season been
heavier than ever before, and Mr. Jensen,
who has charge of the plant, has a large
stock, but it looks as if it will all go
out at good prices.

We couldn't get along without the
Eeview. — E. A. Humfeld, Kansas City,
Mo.

TWIN CITIES,

The Market

Business the past week has been fine;
in fact, it was not a question of get-
ting orders, but a question of how the
orders could be filled. From reports of
all the dealers Decoration day trade was
the largest that the florists ever had.
The weather was fine and everybody
wanted something in the flower line.
Cut flowers were scarce, and all kinds of
substitutions were made in order to give
something tp each one. Cape jasmines
come in handy and many an order that
called for carnations was filled with
capes. Boses were held at a premium.
The heavy rains spoiled about everything
growing outdoors. Complaints from out-
of-town customers will no doubt be gen-
eral. The city trade knows the exact
conditions, but the country trade expects
what is ordered and it will be a hard
matter to explain the situation to them
in a satisfactory manner. That prices
were good goes without saying.

St. Paul.

L. L. May & Co. report the heaviest
trade they have had in years. They say
it has never failed, that they receive
large funeral orders at just such busy
times.

The Swanson Floral Co. says business
was fine and they sold about everything
in stock.

Holm & Olson report an exceptionally
heavy demand for bedding plants.

Otto Hiersekorn did a nice trade and
is glad the rush is over.

Krinke & Son sold everything they had
and say they could have sold twice as
much.

Minneapolis.

Carl Johannsen, manager for the
Powers Mercantile Co., reports the larg-
est business they have ever had. In
addition to the Decoration day trade,
he «ays the demand for flowers for grad-
uating exercises was unusually heavy.

Whitted is well satisfied with the in-
crease of business in the new store.
Miss Whitted will leave for an eastern
trip within the next few weeks.

James Soudan, with Wm. Donaldson
& Co., says it was the best trade they
have had, as they sold everj'thing and
could have used more stock. Felix.

POPULAR MAHKET PLANTS.

In verbenas, Miss Wilmott is selling
fairly well, but does not make such good
prices as it did early last season, says
a writer in the Horticultural Advertiser.
It has been too plentiful, but it is a color
that will always command some atten-
tion. Scarlet King sold fairly well when
it first came out, but we have too many
other good scarlet flowers; and the beau-
tiful white variety recently shown may
be well worthy of attention, but as a
market plant it is doubtful if it will
prove of great value while we have so
many good white flowers.

White marguerites have sustained a
wonderful reputation, and since growers
have kept oflf the maggot, that was at
one time so troublesome, they have sold
better than ever. Just now we have two
classes of these; there are those suitable
for window-boxes or planting, and others,
well flowered, used for decorations. Good
yellow marguerites are always scarce
until late in the season, but we are al-
ready getting Chrysanthemum segetum,
both the single and double forms. These,
however, are too soft to be much appre-
ciated, and they do not seem to sell so
well as usual this season, though for
some purposes they are very useful. If
anyone could find a really good yellow-
flowering plant that would stand well,
there would be money in it. When Jas-
minum primuJinum was shown some time
ago many were much taken with it, and
no doubt if it would come in at the right
time, and last fairly well, it would be
sure to sell.

I find market growers are always on
the lookout for good things, yet it is
surprising how few novelties we get that
will take the place of the old favorites.

BUFFALO.

State of Business.

Memorial day has once more passed,
and never were we blessed with more
perfect weather for the veterans to
march, and the florists to nand out their
4-inch geraniums or bunches of flowers.
Stock was in good supply to meet a big
demand. Carnations, both in quantity
and quality, were abundant. We don't
look for many costly pieces or designs
but almost all who own lots in our
cemeteries find their way there on May
30 and, instead of the day declining in
popularity, its observance is growing
more and more general each year, and
with all classes. So the volume of busi-
ness is large.

D. Newlands & Son, Wm. Legg and the
Wm. Scott Co. do the most of the Forest
Lawn business. Collins & Forbach have
the lion 's share of the Pine Hill ceme-
teries and Mr. Avery has things his own
way at the Limestone Ridge district.

Buffalo has lost several of her promi-
nent citizens this past week, which has
made a good demand for funeral flowers
of the better class*. Among those who
have passed away is ex-Congressman
Daniel N. Lockwood, who nominated
Grover Cleveland for mayor of our city,
then for governor of New York State,
and lastly for president of the United
States ai the Chicago convention.

Harry 0. May addressed the New Jer-
sey Floricultural Society upon roses and
rose growers at the monthly meeting
June 1, making a strong appeal for the
American Rose Society. Later in the
evening, upon motion of Mr. May,
seconded by Jos. A. Manda, the secre-
tary was instructed to address T. C.
Piatt, of the U. S. Express Co., expres-
sing the disapproval of the society at the
exorbitant and oppressive transporta-
tion rates just made by that company to
shippers of flowers.

The floral display was large and nu-
merous and included fine orchids from
the houses of Lager & Hurrell and Julius
Roehrs Co. A Cattleya gigas of perfect
form and flowers from Lager & Hurrell
received 99 points at the hands of " the
judges, while the interesting collection
of Cattleya Mossiae of Julius Roehrs re-
ceived the society's first certificate.

born and have been brought up in the
florists' trade m their native land. They
have both traveled considerably in Ger-

Since coming to this country they have
been employed in several prominent
places of the east and have all the
qualifications necessary for making a suc-
cess of their undertaking.

BANGOR, ME.

May 29 for the first time in five days
did we get a glimpse of .the sun. We^
had almost forgotten th'ere is such aT
sport. Up here we are not safe from
frost until June 10. May 29, at noon,
the thermometer registered 48 degrees.
All the carnations are out in the fields
and the sweet peas are just peeping
above the ground.

The Memorial day trade was up to ex-
pectations. Anything with a flower de-
manded a good price.

Next week A. Sekenger will have a
big force of men getting the rose houses
ready and part of the carnations will
be planted in the houses instead of in the
field. With the addition built last year
Mr. Sekenger has by far the largest
place in the state, and he will build more
this Slimmer. S. J. Stewart also con-
templates making improvements this
summer.

Frank P. Lane has rented the -Morrill
greenhouse in Brewer.

John Martin, Jr., advertised a plant

ROCHESTER.

"While the season is really over, quite
a number of bedding plants are being
sold. This has been a banner year for
the plantsmen, and the cut flower con-
tingent has had more than 'p ^n6V<^s
look in. Decoration day for the latier
proved a bonanza. An abundance of
stock was moved and good quality
brought corresponding figures. In the
evening there was practically nothing
left in the cut flower line, and the
florists were joyful. Cannas and vincas
are very scarce and are good property
at the present writing. Taking all in
all, everything has turned out eminently
satisfactory for all concerned in the
growing of plants. F. S. P.

The Test of Products

Here is a test that every florist and grower can
make for himself as the construction of your house
vitally affects the stock you grow. If your houses are
not built right you cannot expect to turn out perfect
plants.

Does your house produce the amount of stock and
the kind of stock it should ? Let us furnish you the
material for your next' house and then make a test —
we only ask for a trial order.

Our catalogue will tell you more.

GOOD ENOUGH"

is one kind of argument but better still is a still better one. There are a lot of
florists hanging on to old forms and ways of greenhouse construction because they
are "good enough." We are looking after the florist who wants the top notch of
efficiency in greenhouse construction, at a price right for the right thing.

without ventilating your greenhouse, so what's the use
of "getting along" with a clap-trap affair of an apparatus
to operate your sash, when we make a thoroughly
<L^ practicable machine that does the work in a thoroughly
satisfactory way ? It's never out of order and makes you
feel comfortable every time you work it.

The worm on this g-ear Is machine cut. It's
the easiest working, long-est lived gear made

It's an apparatus that doesn't work yon,
every time you work it. Besides, it doesn't cost
any more than a lot of springs and levers, and
does a lot more— a lot better. Catalog L-V.

A MODEL FLOWER STORE.

The Muir Establishment, Chicago.

To the man brought up in the busi-
ness the first glance serves to reveal the
fact if a room was originally intended
for a flower store, or for some general
purpose. No reasonable expenditure will
refit a store intended for ordinary uses
and make it pass for one built by a
florist for his own purposes. There is
the same diflference that is found in
ready-to-wear coats, after alteration, if
<>ompared with the work of a good tailor.
If clothes make the man, as we are
often told, the store goes a long way
toward shaping the character of the
business done in it. The subtle in-
fluence of environment is felt by all
i-oncerned, from proprietor to customer.

The trouble with remodeling an old
store, or fitting up a new one, for a
florist 's use is that you usually can do
little more than move in some fixtures
and hang out a sign; you seldom have
the right kind of a room to begin with,
and you cannot get away from the im-
pression that an equal expenditure would
have made, perhaps, a much better
looking drug store than it did flower
shi.p.

It was some such considerations as
these that influenced John T. Muir,

when he set about looking for a per-
manent location, to determine to begin
fitting up his store by digging a hole in
the ground; in other words, he figured
that to get what he wanted, he'd have
to build; he couldn't buy it ready made,
or get it through remodeling. Being of-
lered a good * ' deal " on a piece of va-
cant property, at Forty-seventh street and
Grand boulevard, which is in one of the
best residence neighborhoods in Chicago,
Mr. Muir put up a building in which is
a flower store which will serve as a
model for other builders; indeed, it has
been visited by many whose purpose it
was to gather ideas as to the arrange-
ment of an up-to-date flower store.

The Muir Building.

The building is known as the Ken-
wood bank building, from the fact that
Mr. Muir leased the corner room to the
financial institution of that name. The
building is two stories high, designed
in the later Italian style, with twelve
stores in all, the upper floors being
devoted to suites of offices of the better
class. The building is well finished
throughout and only tenants of the best
class were admitted, but it is in the
north store, on the boulevard side, that
our trade interest centers, for this is the
room reserved by Mr. Muir for his own
use.

Peabody & Beauley were the architects
and are to be credited with excellent
work, but of course the special conven-
iences which make the place the best
appointed flower store in the west were
of Mr. Muir's own suggestion, and, in-
deed, he designed a good part of the
fixtures.

The Flower Store.

The flower store is 30x60, divided by
a cross partition so that the salesroom
is 30x35. The general features of the
room are shown excellently in one of
the accompanying illustrations. The dis-
play cases on each side are let into the
walls. The wide, deep, cool room for
stock is flush with the rear wall of the
room, standing in the center of the
building where access may be had with
equal facility from the salesroom or
from the workroom. The glass in the
doors and all the fixture cases is beveled
plate leaded in as small diamond-shaped
panes. The beams of the ceiling are re-
flected in Verd antique in the chip
mosaic floor. The deep windows are
white tiled, raised only a few inches.
Between them is the entrance, with
inner and outer doors to prevent strong
winds doing damage, narrower than
most builders would use.

There are no "counters" in the store;
all the fixtures not built into the wall
are movable. The tables are solid ma-
hogany, marble topped, with shelves be-
neath of heavy plate glass capable of
sustaining considerable weight, and here
is displayed a large line of vases of
varying material, including a quantity
of the famous Syderol ware from Bohe-
mia. Mr. Muir finds it possible to do
quite a trade in these goods at a satis-
factory profit; besides, they add much
to the attractiveness of the store. The
display tables being of varying shapes

and sizes, permit of frequent rearrange-
ment of the store. The lighting is from
covered incandescents in the ceiling.

At the left, as shown in the view
from the street, the entrance being in
the center of the picture of the interior
of the store, is a conservatory, without
which any retail florist suffers more or
less handicap, according to the character
of the business he undertakes to do.
In this case the conservatory is 25x52
feet, set back eight feet from the build-
ing line and one of the most attractive
architectural features of the place. The
house ordinarily shelters the large palms
needed for decorations, much of this
class of work being done, but at Christ-
mas and Easter it is invaluable for han-
dling the business in flowering plants.

The Workrooms.

At the right at the rear of the sales-
room is the oflBee, a handsomely fur-
nished room in which the accounts are
handled, with wide mahogany roll-top
desk for the proprietor, a big safe, filing
cases and a brass railing behind which
sits the cashier, A rear door leads to
the room where orders are put up. At
the left of the office is the cut flower
case, which is iced from the rear, and
then comes the telephone room for cus-
tomers. Most of the store talk is done

In the middle of the room is the zinc-
covered table, with drawers beneath for
wire, thread, tinfoil, toothpicks, etc., a
handy place for everything, and every-
thing in its place. On a low shelf under
the table are made-up boxes ready for
use. The stock of boxes is in the cab-
inet at the left, with the crepe paper,
Porto Eican matting and similar arti-
cles. Another cabinet holds vases. Near
the door to the flower case is an iron
pan for hardy cut ferns. The order
clips, twine, tags, wrapping paper, etc.,
are shown in the picture. The sphag-
num moss, wire frames and similar ar-
ticles are in the basement, 30x60, cool
enough to serve for storage of cut
flowers and often used for holding back
lilies, etc. A sink at the rear of the
workroom affords a convenient place to
' procure and dispose of water. Counters
supply places for packages prepared for
delivery. Not an unnecessary step need
be taken.

Perfect order and absolute cleanliness
are the rules. There is nothing extrava-
gant, but it is hard to see how another
dollar might have been expended and a
hundred cents' worth realized. A neat
gold sign over the door has been added
since the photograph was taken, as it
seemed to be the one omission.

Neat window displays always are the

on a phone in the office. Between the
telephone room and the cut flower case
is a passage to the workroom, from
which access is had to the lavatories.

The workroom, as shown in the pic-
ture, is about the handiest place possi-
ble to imagine. There are four en-
trances, from the area in the rear,
from the conservatory, from the store
and from the office. Numerous windows
afford good light.

rule. A May window was composed of
a high bank of marguerites in pots, at
the base of which was a slope of Bos-
ton ferns interspersed with a few S. A.
Nutt geraniums, the bright trusses of
which were very effective among the
green. Mr. Muir says it was really surpris-
ing how many marguerites were sold as
the result of that inexpensive window
display, the plants being of his own
growing.

A Bit of History.

The Muir establishment is the second
oldest in Chicago, the business having
been founded in 1865, by Samuel Muir,
himself the son of a Scotch gardener.
The first location was at Thirty-third
street and South Park avenue, then
called Kankakee avenue. Greenhouses
and a residence occupied this site, then
well outside the city, and here John T.
Muir was born, IWarch 26, 1869. In the
early days, Samuel Muir had a retaU
store at 121 Lake street, being burned
out in the big fire of 1871, The store
was re-established on Congress street,
between Michigan and Wabash, where
the Auditorium now stands, the Inter
Ocean building then occupying the cor-
ner of "Wabash and Congress. This stand
also was destroyed by fire. The next
location was on Wabash, but subsequent-
ly the store was removed to 2205 Mich-
igan. In the meantime the South Park
avenue property had been sold and the
greenhouses located at Fifty-fifth and
Center. The store at 2205 Michigan
was sold to J. T. Anthony, who con-
ducted it a number of years in connec-
tion with greenhouses at Thirty-fourth
and Prairie.

It was in 1883 that Samuel Muir lo-
cated at 3530 Michigan avenue, within
a few blocks of his first stand. Here he
continued until the day of his death,
January 12, 1895. In the fololwing
year the son, John T., took charge of
the estate. The old place on Michigan
avenue is still operated, and is doing a
steadily icreasing trade in spite of the
natural withdarwal of patronage by
those living nearer the new and more
attractive store. It is a circumstance
which speaks well for the general proa*
perity of the retail trade in Chicago.

It is worthy of note that every move
of the Muirs, who have until now occu-
pied leased stores, was in a southerly
direction in direct line with the growth
of that section of the city, which now
stretches miles beyond the new location,
of itself nearly two miles south of the
site on the outskirts chosen forty years
ago. The greenhouses have never been
used for the extensive production of cut
flowers, but rather for bedding stock
and other plants for retail sales. There
was a time when Muir sold 4-inch gera-
niums at $2.50 and even $3 a dozen, and
it didn't cost as much then as now to
grow them, but nowadays so many more
are sold that at less than half the price
the profits amount to a greater sum.
Mr. Muir is devoting his whole energies
to the business and finds it a consider-
able task to conduct both places. He
figures on eventually taking one of the
offers he frequently receives for the old
store and greenhouses, and concentrating
his business at Forty-seventh street,
where there is, or might easily be made,
all that a man need ask for in the retail
florists' line.

SPRINKLING CUT FLOWERS.

Is it best to sprinkle flowers for ship-
ping, or funeral designs, with water be-
fore leaving the store? Or is it a wiser
plan to omit it? G. F, C.

This question cannot be answered too
dogmatically. It is a matter of expe-
rience and judgment. For instance, if
your design contained camellias, garden-
ias, or orchids it would be unwise to
sprinkle them, especially heavily. Neither
do carnations or sweet peas relish a
sprinkling. Eoses are refreshed and re-

ceive no harm by a liberal sprinkling.
Maidenhair fern, with which all designs
are finished oflf, is also kept fresh by
moisture, so it is evident that while some
flowers are unharmed and kept fresh
with a slight sprinkling, others when cut
will spot and disfigure with careless
sprinkling. There seems to be a mar-
velous difference in the handling of
flowers when deprived of life and when
growing, sustained by the vital force.

Perhaps the proper answer to this
question is that the application of water
to flowers, either in a box for shipping
or arranged in a design, is to create a
mist-like moisture surrounding the
flowers. If you have created a moist
atmosphere it is about all the flowers
can absorb and drops of water on the
petals are more than they can absorb.
So apply your artificial mist or dew as
fine as possible. Try and create a sur-
rounding moisture without leaving drops
of water.

There are other ways of packing de-
signs besides sprinkling. See that the
sphagnum moss is thoroughly moist and
there will for hours be evaporation of
moisture even if the stem or base of the
flower does not touch the damp moss.

ORIGIN OF PURITY FREESIA.

Rudolph Fischer, Great Neck, L. I.,
furnishes the following account of the
origin of Freesia Purity:

"Freesia Purity is a seedling pro-
duced by hybridization. I got it in the
following manner: When I started in
business about fifteen years ago I re-
ceived from my former employer several
thousand freesia bulbs for planting on
my own place. These bulbs were an un-
usually good strain of the original F

refracta alba. My employer got from
Europe a lot of very small bulbs, early
in the eighties, before the variety was
introduced in this country. He multi-
plied his stock from these, without buy-
ing any more from any outside source,
and in this way he kept his stock pure.
When I grew them, I started to hy-
bridize between the best, and produced
a number of good ones, which were ahead
of the general run. These I hybridized
again, and among the latter seedlings
was Purity. It showed its superiority
so prominently that after another year
I separated them and grew them by
themselves. ' '

NOTES FROM ENGLAND.

May flowering tulips, especially Dar-
wins and cottage varieties, are rapidly
increasing in favor each year. These
tulips are found to grow and thrive year
after year in England in almost any
ordinary light garden soil, and it has
become quite the thing for leading nur-
serymen and seedsmen to have a full
representative collection. Barr & Sons
have probably the finest lot in Europe,
but there are other magnificent collec-
tions, some of the best being those of
Hogg & Kobertson, Dublin; W. T. Ware,
Bath; W. B. Hartland, Cork; A. Dick-
son, Belfast, and others. At the Royal
Horticultural Society's show May 16 no
fewer than fifteen firms exhibited trade
collections. The May section is particu-
larly useful, either for cutting or bed-
ding, there being little else in bloom at
the same time. Some of the Darwins
especially are extraordinarily fine in
form and deep in coloring. In Lincoln-
shire some sorts are grown by the acre
for market purposes. The sorts grown

are Bouton D'Or, a rather small yellow;
Retroflexa, a beautiful clear sulphury
yellow with ends of the petals turning
back; Picotee, a white with red edge;
Gesneriana, a purple with black center.
These are the sorts used in immense
quantities for market, the others being
too expensive, although such sorts as
Mrs. Moon, yellow; Hobbema, pink;
Mark Groff and Admiral Constantinople,
both yellow and red variegated, and
Gesneriana lutea will soon be sufficient-
ly plentiful to be grown in quantity.

I recently came across a large house
containing some thousands of the com-
paratively new Calla Elliottiana. I
hardly thought there was such a large
stock in England. They were in full
bloom, and the bright yellow gave an
unusually fine effect, the spotted leaves
showing up well. The grower informed
me that they are quite easily propagated
and grown from seed and quickly reach
a flowering size, the blooms fertilizing
themselves naturally; in fact, he said
that if the pollen is touched or even
the bloom shaken, so as to unnaturally
disturb the pollen, it results in a much
less percentage of good seed than if the
blooms are left alone. The seed is sown
in a little bottom heat, and with quite
ordinary treatment, ninety-eight per
cent will germinate. The yellow blooms
realize a fancy price compared with the
old white variety.

At the Brussels meeting, in the State
Botanic Gardens, thirty 4-inch pots of
chrysanthemums were shown, each plant
with one large bloom on a single stem,
the variety being Mme. Mees. The
blooms were fully equal to any seen in
autumn and were a decided novelty. We
shall soon have mums on the market all
the year round. J. B.

Stock Requiring Pot Culture.

There are a few important commercial
plants that do not lift at all well in the
fall; neither do they propagate by cut-
tings taken from plants in the open
ground. The lemon verbena (aloysia)
and the lantana are two of these. Giv©
them a small shift and plunge outdoors;
then after a few months' rest in the
houses during Avinter they give you the
right sort of cuttings.

Fuchsias.

The fuchsias also belong to plants that
want this treatment. If you have not
already selected a few plants of all
varieties that are desirable, you should
do so at once and grow them under glass
or outside in the shade and produce as
large plants as you can, plants that have
good strong wood. By August they
should be placed where they will get
the full sun, so that the wood will ripen.
Before hard frost store them beneath a
bench, with little water for a month or
more, and then after the unripened ends
of the shoots are cut back and they are
started growing again you will get cut-
tings that will make vigorous plants.

The principal thing is to select a few
of your strongest plants at once. The
same old plants that you treated this
way last spring will do service as stock
plants for several years.

Heliotrope is another plant that
neither lifts well nor gives you cuttings
in the fall, and a few plants should be
carried over in pots. When cut back in
midwinter they will give you plenty of
cuttings.

Poinsettias.

Polnsettias that were started growing
about May 1 will now have sent out
plenty of young growths, which root
readily, but if you do not want as early
plants as these cuttings would make,
then cut them off one or two eyeff above
the old wood and they will break and
give you two or three cuttings instead
of one. Poinsettias root at any time
from spring until fall, provided they
are not allowed to wilt from sun or neg-
lect of water. They must be shaded in
all bright hours and faithfully kept wet
in the propagating sand. In very hot
or bright weather, once a day may not
be enough. Water the sand copiously
twice a day. Don't be afraid.

Another critical time with the poin-
settias is just after potting off from
the propagating bed. For the first two
weeks there must be no neglect. Be as
careful with shading and watering as
you were while the cuttings were in
the sand. After once making roots in
the pots they endure the brightest sun
and must have it.

The Rambler Roses.

Crimson Rambler and other ramblers
want watchful care just now. That is,
those grown in pots under glass during
summer, the method I still believe the
best to make plants well flowered from
pot to summit of growth. We often get
our hottest weather at the end of June

and if the tender and unripened shoots
of these roses are neglected for water,
mildew will set in, which much weakens
the growth and the strength of the eyes,
which will now be forming. From these
eyes come the trusses of bloom that
you are looking forward to next spring.
Copious waterings and daily heavy
syringings must be given the rambler
roses. By the end of August they will
have made all the growth desirable' and
can then be stood outdoors to ripen their
wood. You then have canes and eyes
that are bound to give you a truss of
bloom at every eye.

Mildew.

Many may think that mildew is pro-
duced only by a draught of cold air or
sudden change of temperature. Other
causes account for it. Any condition
that causes a check to the vitality of
the plant will account for the appear-
ance of mildew, and surely a severe dry-
ing at the root and consequent loss of
sap in stem and leaf lays the plant open
to the attacks of this minute fungus.
The plant's resistant powers are gone
and the spores of the fungus find con-
genial conditions for work.

An illustration of this may be noticed
in the attempt to grow the European
gooseberry, such a delicious fruit in tem-
perate and northern Europe, especially
in the north of England and Scotland.
In North America they are attacked by
mildew. Cold days of spring are not
responsible, but rather the tropical days
of June.

Cyclamen.

An important plant that is often neg-
lected at this busy season is the beauti-
ful cyclamen. These plants now are
mostly in 2%-inch pots and the strong-
est in 3-inch pots, growing fast and
easily hurt by neglect. They will now
be ready to go into 4-inch pots and into
quarters where they will spend the next
four months. They are, I think safest
in a small house facing south, with the
bench well elevated near the glass, and
above all the pots surrounded by ^tobacco
stems. If this is done there will be little
need of fumigation. The house should
have an abundance of ventilation.

I am aware that some experts on this
pretty plant use mild hotbeds for the
sake of bottom heat, while still others
employ cold frames. This is all right
where the firm makes a specialty of this
plant, but there is a risk of neglect
where things are not continually under
your eye and that is why I recommend
the small house for the small grower.

Cyclamens like abundance of light, yet
the full blaze of a July sun is too ex-
hausting for them and exposed to it they
become stunted and crippled, so no
trouble should be spared to shade them
during the hot, bright hours of the day,,

giving the fullest light in the morning

If the soil is porous and drained,
which it should be, the cyclamens like a
good deal of water. A severe drying
out is ruin to them, and on all bright
mornings a light syringing is of the
greatest benefit.

Attention Not Trouble.

Speaking of trouble, no real gardener
or piantsman will think any amount of
attention to his plants any trouble and
you will never grow anything to perfec-
tion unless your heart is in your charge.
You will anticipate the needs of your
plants as the faithful doctor does those
of his patients. Our business, especially
the growing part of it, is not as lucra-
tive as manufacturing sausage or head
cheese, but it is working close to our
Creator's work and brings us closer to
the spiritual and unknown than making
motor cars or destroying life. Animal
life it may be called, but it is life, and
perhaps it has a soul as well as we.

William Scott.

IT IS TO LAUGH.

The Philosophy of Gardening.

These hints from the New York Sun
are intended primarily for the amateur
suburbanite, but the practical grower
may find herein much that will amuse if
not instruct him:

Preliminary Discussion. — Every com-
muter 's garden should receive a' proper
amoiint of preliminary discussion, be-
ginning at full moon and continuing as
long as thought desirable.

"Well, I'm thinking of planting my
garden, " is a favorite introduction ; or,
" I 'm tired of eating canned spinach.
Did I ever tell you of the spinach I
grew last year — three feet high and hard
boiled eggs all over the top of it?"

Another accepted method is for the
commuter to sit in the smoker and look
thoughtful and preoccupied until some-
one asks him the subject of his thoughts.

"Why," replies the thoughtful com-
muter, with a pretty candor, "I was
just considering my garden. ' ' And pre-
liminary discussion tnen ensues.

Tools and Accessories. — No self-re-
specting commuter will dig his garden
unless he simultaneously smokes a cigar.
This gives him his rightful appearance
of dignity as a landowner. A box of
good cigars is therefore the first essen-
tial accessory. Next in importance
comes a large pot of cold cream for
blistered hands and a set of surgical in-
struments for straightening the spine.
Other necessary instruments are men-
tioned below.

Breaking the Sod.— To break the sod
it is advisable to have a pickax, a cold
chisel, a warm chisel, a crowbar, a sledge
hammer, a rock drill and a case of blast-
ing powder. Drill a hole, insert the
powder, stand in a safe place behind the
parn and erupt to suit. The alternative
is to hire a man, but he must be watched
closely or he will succumb to exhaustion
brought on by hard work.

Harrowing.— The remarks of the
neighbors who have no gardens will gen-
erally be found to be very harrowing.

Planting and Cultivating.— We now
ponie to the important heading of plant-

ing and cultivating. To plant, dig a
hole, place a seed in the bottom of that
hole, sprinkle a few cinders on top and
fill the hole with gravel. This makes
the plants hardy. Such is the general
rule. Modifications follow.

String Beans. — These should be care-
fully strung by hand and the string
securely knotted to prevent migratory
tendencies which otherwise might be pro-
voking. The ends of the string should
be loosely looped in a draw knot, the
object, of course, being to catch the
neighbor's hen by the leg. Chicken and
string go well together, but the chickens
are not to be gathered in until after
dusk and an old coat should also be
thrown over its head as a further pre-
cautionary measure, and to prevent its
alarming the neighborhood.

Cabbages. — The trunks of the trees
should be whitewashed to make them look
nice and the fruit should be carefully
plucked by hand. Throwing a piece of
wood into the tree or jabbing at the
cabbages with a long clothes-pole cannot
be too severely discountenanced. Sbak
ino; the tree is also unprofessional.
Neither should the corned beef be
forced.

Scarlet Runners. — -These are too nimble
for general, purposes and are kept to
frighten children by suddenly running
after the;ii. This is also injurious to
the plants thoinsolves. Scarlet runner.s
siiould, therefore, he securely surrounded
by a tight fence and only allowed to
walk at a gentle gait in the cool of the
evening. This is for exercise.

Stones and Rocks. — It is unnecessary
to plant these, as they groW fortu-

itously overnight. They are of hardy
growth and multiply rapidly, sometimes
attaining a weight of several hundred
pounds. Flourish in any soil, but on
account of popular prejudice they do not
seem to be much esteemed as a table
delicacy.

Beets. — These always grow in profuse
crops, but should be sparingly cultivated.
Cold water thrown upon them is gener-
ally recommended. Dead beets should
be hit over the head with the flat of a
shovel and sugar beets should be treated
with a pinch of salt.

Mushrooms. — The cultivation of mush-
rooms is a profitable enterprise on ac-
count of the high price and ready mar-
ket. Shrubbery should be frequently
sprayed while in flower and the buds
carefully protected against frost. When
plucked each cluster of fruit should be
placed upon a mushroom leaf. This
preserves the flavor and adds to their

appearance. The pits and seeds should
be removed before shipping.

Gas Plants. — Gas plants are a profit-
able stock, but any possible surplus of
water should be avoided.

General Conversation. — This is one of
the most pleasurable points in growing a
garden, but caution must be exercised.
A husbandman should never start off by
telling the size of his product. "How
large are your cucumbers?" he should
cautiously ask his neighbor. * ' Eighteen
inches long," is the reply. "Whereupon
the first speaker can derive honor and in-
cite envy by claiming a net cucumberial
length of two feet. Whereas, if he had
led off with the assertion that his cu-
cumbers were two feet long, his neighbor
would have claimed a length of thirty
inches and the first man would have
looked distrait and foolish.

Too much stress cannot be laid upon
this point.

PLANTING YOUNG STOCK.

Those who are not already well along
with their planting should lose no time
with this work. 'Year after year we find
the progressive growers favoring earlier
planting, realizing the fact that the
early planted stock is the most remunera-
tive, producing more blooms per plant
during the season, which are also of a
higher grade than those from stock
planted later.

That this is true easily can be learned
by keeping records of the cuts and sales
from the early and late planted houses
and comparing these records at the end
of the season. This is especially true of
Beauty, which it seems necessary to
have in vigorous condition with a large
development of roots before the short
days come.

Requiring a large amount of feeding
to deveflop the buds properly, the reason
for having a large supply of feeding
roots before cropping season commences
is readily apparent and it is only by
timely planting that such a condition
can be obtain^.

By way of caution I may remind my
readers that it pays best to plant only
the very best grade of stock. All weak
and ailing plants should be scrupulously
discarded during the operation of plant-
ing, as the growing season, bench room
and labor required are too precious to
expend on stock requiring doctoring,
nursing and coddling.

Cleanliness being very essential to the
health ' of the young stock, each house
should have a thorough cleaning after

being emptied, and all accumulations of
dirt under the benches should be re-
moved and the ground given a sprink-
ling of hot lime. This serves to sweeten
the soil and helps to destroy the eggs of
insects which are usually plentiful in
such locations.

To give the house a smart and clean
appearance the sashbars and walls should

This is also a good season to inspect I

the piping, have the apparatus tested
and put into condition for the winter's
work, as all this work can be done to
best advantage while the house is empty.
This is usually the most unpleasant
and tiresome part of rose growing, as
it frequently happens that these opera-
tions have to be conducted in a dry at-
mosphere under a blazing sun and the
labor, being of quite a different char-
acter from ordinary greenhouse work,
is very trying to the nerves and patience
of the help. With the houses in good re-
pair and a supply of well handled soil
ready to place on the bench we can again
resume our accustomed and more inter-
esting work EiBES.

THRIP ON ROSES.

Kindly advise us what to do with a
very bad dose of thrip in our rose
houses. Brides and Maids qeem to be
the worst infested. Ked pepper seems
to be feed for them, as I have burned
as much as seven pounds in six applica-
tions in a house of 2,800 square feet of
ground space. Will hydrocyanic acid
gas kill them and how much will I use
in such a space to be effective?

Lake Forest.

Where fresh red pepper is used, as
frequently recommended in these col-
umns, thrip are certain to be kept in
sufficient subjection to prevent their do-
ing damage. This course of treatment
must not be spasmodic, but must be per-
sisted in once or twice a week during the
whole season to be effective. They re-
produce so rapidly in the genial atmos-
phere of the rose house that it seems as
if there were a new brood ready to re-
place the one destroyed.

This is one of the insects which are
easily destroyed by even mild tobacco
fumes if these fumes can be made to
reach them. Owing to their activity
they quickly reach a place of safety,
either among the petals or in the soil.

Hydrocyanic acid gas, if applied suf-
ficiently strong, would without doubt
cause their destruction, but from per-
sonal experience I found that the quan-
tity required to effect the desired result
was very injurious to the plants. This
has also been the result at several ex-
perimental stations where it has been
tried.

Some of the foremost Beauty growers
have been using a mixture of Paris green
and sugar in solution as a spray once or
twice a week, and claim that this treat-
ment, if persisted in, will sufficiently
thin their ranks to make it possible to
produce good blooms even in the worst
infested districts. This is the method
adopted in New Jersey and from reports
from L. M. Noe, of Madison, it seems to
be quite effective. Kibes.

ARSENIC NO GOOD.

Eeferring to recent comments in the
Review with regard to the use of
arsenic for fumigating, I will say that
I have used arsenic for the last two
years in an endeavor to keep my stock
clean and have come to the conclusion
that it is of no value for fumigating
for insects on roses.

not had a bloom for two years. What
is the matter I What can we do for
them to make them bloom? W. G. T.

T am not acquainted with this variety
of rose. If it is a tea it would flower
in six months. We can only account for
its not flowering by having too much
root room and growing too vigorously,
and that is the reverse of flowering with
most roses, or any other perennial plant.

W. S.

GROUND OR RAISED BEDS.

Will roses do as well on the ground
floor as on a bed raised eighteen to
thirty inches? The location is in Texas.
^ G. W. T.

The question is one on which there is
considerable difference of opinion and
much will depend on the style of houses
and arrangement of heating pipes, as
well as the soil beneath your beds. We
know of one successful man in central
New York who plows the natural soil,
or floor, over which his greenhouses arc
built, working in lots of manure and
on that putting up a 6-inch board for
L-e edge of the" bed and filling in with a
good yellow loam. He is eminently suc-
cessful. His houses are six or seven in
a block, equal span, having no partition
between the houses. Had we such a sur-
face soil we should be tempted to try
the plan, for there is an immense saving
in bench building, repairs, etc.

Yet it is safest to adhere to the old
plan, by which so many millions of fine
roses have been grown, viz., legs of
about eighteen inches, with 2x4 joists
every four feet and cypress floor of 2x6
boards. There is better all around light
when the bench is two feet above the
floor and a better circulation of heat
and air, and for the majority of winter
months when roses and carnations bring
their best prices the raised wooden bench
is all you desire. In the writer's opin-
ion the semi-solid bed is near the ideal,
reference to which is made in last week's
Review. Beds on the floor are more
undesirable for carnations than roses.

ILEX CRENATA.

As a neat growing hardy evergreen
shrub this little Japanese member of the
holly family is certainly less known than
it should be, and for gardens of limited
extent, where vigorous growing subjects
would soon outgrow their allotted space
it can be recommended, says the Gar-
deners' Magazine. In appearance it is
widely removed from the generally ac-
cepted idea of a holly, being, in fact,
more like box. It has a close, much-
branched habit of growth, and the some-
what spreading shoots are clothed with
narrow, pointed, spineless leaves about
three-quarters of an inch long, and
slightly toothed. In color they are of a
very dark green, against which back-
ground the rich golden splashes of the
variety variegata show up most con-
spicuously. A second variety, Fortunei,
or major, has larger and rounder leaves
than those of the type, while the growth
is also more robust.

A very noticeable feature of Hex
crcnata is the readiness with which it
can be raised from cuttings, for hollies,
as a class, are seldom increased in this
way. Even with these desirable features
It is not met with to any great extent
in nurseries, the great drawback to it,

from a commercial point of view, being
its slow rate of progress, as it takes a
long time to attain a salable size. In
Japan it is a favorite subject for top-
iary work, as the box is with us.

Concerning this pretty little member
of the holly family, Professor Sargent,
in his "Forest Flora of Japan," says:
"Ilex crenata is the most widely di.s-
tributed and the most common of the
Japanese hollies, with persistent leaves;
I encountered it in nearly every part of
the empire which I visited. It is usu-
ally a low, much-branched, rigid shrub,
three or four feet high; but in cultiva-
tion it not infrequently rises to the
height of twenty feet, and, assuming the
habit of a tree, is n6t unlike the box
in general appearance. The leaves, which
are light green and very lustrous, vary
considerably in size and shape, although
they are rarely more than an inch long,
and are usually ovate acute, with sligiit-
ly crenate toothed margins. The black
fruit is produced in great profusion, and
in the autumn adds materially to the
beauty of the plant, this is the most
popular of all the hollies with the .Tapan-
ese; and a plant, usually cut into a
fantastic shape, is found in nearly every
garden. Varieties with variegated leaves
are common, and apparently much es-
teemed. Ilex crenata and several of its
varieties with variegated foliage were
introduced into western gardens many
years ago, and are occasionally culti-
vated, although the value of this plant
as an under shrub appears to be hardly
known or appreciated outside of Japan. ' '

A NEW TROUBLE.

It is reported from England that a
florist and gardener has appeared before
the Cheshire county council with an ap-
plication for the payment of damages
because his place was rendered unten-
able for business by dust raised by pass-
ing automobiles.

IBERIS SNOWFLAKE.

The iberis, or perennial candytufts,
include several very useful and beauti-
ful spring flowering plants, but for gen-
eral cultivation I. sempervirens and its
varieties are perhaps the best on account
of their excellent constitution and free
flowering qualities. For clothing good
spaces in the rock-garden or planting on
the front of the flower borders, few
])lants surpass them; they are easily cul-
tivated in almost any soil, and their
evergreen character is also an advantage.
The variety Snowflake has not been in
commerce many years, and it is but little
known at present; its merits, however,
entitle it to a place in all collections.
The flowers are individually large, of the
purest white, and produced with great
freedom, so that when a plant has be-
come established a fine mass of bloom
results, the purity of the flowers sur-
passing anything with which I am ac-
quainted. Cuttings are easily rooted if
taken off at any time during the summer
and kept close for a few days in a
frame. Where effective spring bedding
has to be carried out this plan should
prove of great value on account of the

WATSONIA ARDERNEI.

Of the watsonia, Peter Henderson, in
his ' ' Hand Book of Plants, ' ' says : "A
genus of half hardy bulbs from the

accompanying illustrations taken from
photographs will better show the flowers
cut for work and will also show the habit
of growth and freedom of bloom in the
field or garden.

The variety known as Ardernei is of
more recent introduction and differs
from the above in that the tube is less
curved and the segments somewhat

Watsonia Iridifolia CyBrieni.

Cape of Good Hoi)e, formerly classed
■with the gladiolus, to which genus they
are closely allied and to which they bear
a close resemblance. They require the
protection of a frame during the win-
ter months, or they may be successfully
grown in the greenhouse, where their
long spikes of brilliant flowers make a
magnificent appearance. ' '

This family seems to be neglected in
this country and very few florists of the
present generation are acquainted with
them, although fresh interest was
aroused through the discovery and in-
troduction of a pure white variety. This
was sent out from South Africa about
a dozen years ago, under the name of
Watsonia iridifolia O'Brieni. This
splendid Variety has flowers up to three
and one-half inches in diameter, and re-
minding us very much of a eucharis in
its purity. The funnel-shaped tube is
slightly curved, which gives to this family
the popular name of bugle lily, and is
about two inches long. The segments,
usually six, are an inch or more in
length and almost three-fourths of an
inch in width. In California the flower
stems grow from four to six feet in
height and branch freely. The main
stem, with its several branches, when
grown from strong bulbs, will produce
close to 200 flowers, and will remain in
bloom from six to eight weeks. The

shorter, and more rounding at the point.
Like O 'Brieni it is of the purest white,

and both keep well after being cut. In
California these varieties have been
grown ever since their introduction, the
original stock having come from Natal,
South Africa, and for some years holders
of the original stock refused to dispose
of any, believing it would have a great
future as a cut flower.

In California it usually begins to
grow naturally in September and is usu-
ally in bloom late in March, continuing
through April and May. A few winters
ago it stood 8 degrees of frost without
injury, showing it to be more hardy
than gladioli growing beside it. It can
be had in bloom without forcing under
glass in the late winter months.

The individual flowers can be used, or
the entire branch can be cut; hence it
will readily be seen how profitable it
will be for winter blooming. It makes
up beautifully in all floral work, as it
is not large enough to appear "coarse,
and I have no doubt but that eventually
it will be as largely grown as the Ber-
muda lily. I believe it can be grown
under the same conditions as Gladiolus
Colvillei alba and if not forced the bulbs
can be cared for and used for years. '

There is also a great future for these
watsonias for summer blooming. As 1
have said, they start to grow, in Cali-
fornia, in September. From what I have
read concerning the genus I have no
doubt that in the east the bulbs can be
kept dormant until spring and will then
bloom during the summer. In fact, as
an experiment, I kept some dormant
until April, when they were planted and
bloomed in August. For outdoor plant-
ing in the south or on the Pacific coast
they will become very popular and will
make grand displays for two months.
For this purpose some varieties with
colored flowers will be in demand.
Watsonia Augusta is grown for decora-
tive purposes. This splendid sort has
brilliant scarlet flowers and blooms free-
ly all summer and is one of the hand-
somest of all those with colored flowers.

GERMAN IRISES AND SHADE.

There are so few really bright-flowered
plants which will thrive in the shade that
any addition to the list is generally wel-
come. My addition will be the German
iris, though, of course, it may be no ad-
dition to the list possessed by some
growers. Be that as it may, I wish to
put on record that the German iris will
grow and flower magnificently on a
shady north border, which scarcely gets
a sunbeam on it the whole of the year
around. Not only so, but the particular
irises I have in mind grow on a bank
that is wreathed in ijlose growing ivy,
the irises standing out as light green
oasis against a desert of darker green.
Thus planted, the irises have a maximum
of moisture, and are somewhat late in
flowering. The picture they m.ake, how-
ever, when in bloom, is one not readilv
forgotten. As these irises transplant
well immediately after flowering, the
present note should enable anyone to
try them in shade. — Gardeners' Maga-
zine.

BIG INSECTICIDE MAKERS.

The attention of the trade, and of
seetlsmen in particular, has recently been
attracted to the American Horticultural
Distributing Co., of Martinsburg, W.
Va., through the selection of Paul F.
Eichter, well known through his years
of connection with the Henry F. Michell
Co., Philadelphia, who recently resigned
to accept the management of this com-
pany's business.

Inquiry develops the fact that the
American Horticultural Distributing Co.
is the largest institution of its kind in
the United States. It has a large estab-
lishment in the West Virginia fruit
growing district and is devoted exclu-
sively to the making of horticultural
insecticides. Hitherto the business of
the concern has been directly with the
orchardists, but appreciating that large
quantities of insecticides are used by
people who individually require only

small lots, the business is to be broad-
ened by placing the commodities with
seedsmen, nurserymen, florists and
others who issue horticultural catalogues,
and are able to reach the small buyers.
Mr. Richter is a man well experienced
to carry on business along these lines.
For twelve years he was prominently

Paul F. Richter.

identified with Michell 's and for five and
a half years, commencing before he was
of age, he was the manager. During
that period, sixteen and eighteen hours
often constituted his day and he felt
the necessity of getting into something
a little less strenuous, but the ambition
and energy which made his following in
the seed and florist business so large,
will be no less in his new situation.

The American Horticultural Distribut-
ing Co. was organized primarily for the

manufacture of a preparation for the de-
struction of San Jose scale. For a
series of years the promoters had been
experimenting with soluble oils and were
finally rewarded with the discovery of a
preparation which they copyrighted as
the Target Brand scale destroyer. It is
on this commodity they have built the
largest portion of their business, ship-
ping many solid carloads to the Florida
orange groves and the peach belts of
Georgia, Delaware and Michigan. The
county of Berkley, in which Martinsburg
is located, is said to contain the largest
single apple and peach orchards in the
world and the company maintains an
orchard of about 12,000 trees in which
its experiments have been conducted.
The scale destroyer is entirely soluble,
non-penetrating preparation of mineral
oil, which for use is simply dissolved in
from twenty to twenty-five gallons of
water for each gallon of material. It
is said for it that it is entirely harmless
and owes a large part of its popularity
not only to the fact of its efficiency but
to the fact that it will cover, gallon for
gallon, twice as much space as the salt,
sulphur and lime preparation. Among
other items is an arsenate of lead, a
quick Bordeaux, several other insecti-
cides, each of which has its own special
field, and a weed destroyer.

Upon leaving Philadelphia Mr. Rich-
ter was given a farewell party by a
number of his friends in the trade and
since assuming his duties at Martinsburg
he has been in receipt of a number of
letters which show that he will not fail
to remain in touch with the associates in
his old line of business.

The ofiicers of the American Horticul-
tural Distributing Co, are J. P. Wick-
ersham, president; C. W. Tabler, vice-
president, and J. W, Stewart, secretary
and treasurer.

Marlborough, N. Y. — ^Velie Bros, have

fill some of the benches.

The Great Central Market

The unwieldy oversupply continued
throughout last week. There was no
let-up in the receipts until Saturday and
the market was stocked on almost every
item far beyond the possibility of any
satisfactory sale and, indeed, more stock
went to the dump last week than in any
previous seven days since the memory
of man runneth not to the contrary.
One wholesaler remarked that it seemed
a shame, when one was unable to get
express charges out of a shipment, to be
called upon to pay $2 to get the stuff
hauled to the dump. The hospitals had
more flowers than they could use and
growers' averages were certainly the
lowest of which anyone has recollection.

Of course there was a large business,
money receipts aggregating a very re-
spectable sum. The demand was in-
variably for the best of stock, so that
the grades suitable for shipping re-
quirements brought fair money. It was
the picked ovar stock, left after legiti-

me are very well satisfied with the
results of our advertising in

"We find also that it is necessary to
advertise to s^et orders, or in fact a
market, and then back it up with
good stock.

mate needs had been supplied, which was
practically valueless.

The trade seemed to call principally
for Beauty, of which there was hardly
enough good stock to meet the demand.
The houses with the summer roses also
did a good business, as Brides and Maids
were pretty well finished by the severe
heat. Valley and adiantum also sold
well. Good sweet peas are in demand
and d.iisies do nicely because of wed-
ding work.

This week found supplies consider-
ably shortened by a return of cool
weather, but still ample for all require-
ments, except possibly the calls for roses
are more than can be filled with satis-
factory stock. There are still plenty of
tea roses, but the quality will not do.
Beauties are in strong demand and
scarce. Carnations are abundant but
small in flower.

Smilax is plentiful, but asparagus
strings are not in large supply. For a
couple of days this week new ferns were
hard to get, but the shortage was only
temporary. There are old ferns still on
the market, but hardly in salable condi-
tion. All the ferns that had kept well
cleaned up in good shape, but without
the usual advance in price.

Peonies.

This market originated the practice of
storing peonies, now employed in many
places. In no previous year has the local
crop come in so quickly as it did this
year. The cut was on for hardly more
than five days. During that period the
glut was something tremendous and the
open stock had little value. The ma-
terial caught in the bud was put intO'
cold storage. More houses have stored
peonies this year than ever before. The
aggregate in storage runs into many
thousands, for one house confessed to-
having 12,000 dozen peonies on hand
June 11. The cut is over and there i»
again a good demand for peonies at fair
])rices. By Monday the cold-storage-
stock was coming on the market and
selling fairly well.

E. E. Kennicott, of Carbondale, ha»
been in town the past week helping out
the Amazi Kennicott crop of peonies.

The E. F. Winterson Co. has the peonie»
of the Jewell Nursery Co., Lake City,
Minn., again this season and has the-
bulk of them in storage.

Growers^ Losses.

In view of the unprecedented amounts
of stock which went to waste last week,
growers feel that they have been com-
pelled to bear a loss out, of all proportioi*
to what anybody gained by driving the-
fruit and flower stands off the streets
inside the elevated loop. Had the stands
been operating it is not likely that prices
would have been noticeably stiffened, for
the overstock was too great, but a cer-
tain part of what went to the dump
would have been sold on the streets.
Several houses report missing Greek
trade to the extent of $30 to $50 a day
last week and a conservative estimate
would be $500 a day for the whole mar-
ket. And in every case at least eighty-
five per cent or this was money directly
lost to the growers, without any recom-
pense thus far apparent.

Hail on South Side.

On June 7 quite heavy hail fell oi>
the south side. At the Muir establish-
ment, 3530 Michigan avenue, about 80O
lights of glass were broken. He was
insured. J. F. Kidwell & Bro. lost about
500 lights, and others suffered to a slight
extent.

The Building Boom.

Both the John C. Moninger Co. and
the A. Dietsch Co. are figuring on en-
larging their factory facilities for next
season. The latter had a new building
for this year, but both concerns have
had all they could do with the present
factory equipment. The Foley Mfg. Co.
concurs in the opinion that next year is
likely to see still another increase in the
demand for structural material, and all
three firms propose to be so fixed in
1907 that no matter how big the busi-
ness groAvs, everything can be turned out
by the day wanted without special ef-
fort.

N. J. Rupp says that one of the
notable features of the present season is
the number of inquiries received from
bankers and other capitalists whose at-
tention has been attracted to the florists '^
business as a profltable field for invest-
ment. Mr. Rupp says a number of these
inquiries are likely to develop into or-
ders in time, but he does not consider
it a tendency worthy of special encour-
agement, for when the man who con-
trols the finances has no knowledge of
the special needs of the business it is

AMERICAN BEAUTIES— Our Beauties are easily the
best in this market and we believe it will be difficult to find their
equal anywhere in the United States in this warm weather. They
are in every way as good as our famous crop last summer— and
most Beauty buyers know what that means.

_ PEONIES— We handle the best stock in town— choicest
varieties, cut right, bunched right, handled right— in any quan-
tity. Will have them all through June;

KAISERINS — The Kaiserin is the only really good sum-
mer rose. We have them in large quantity— fine stock in every
respect.

SWEET PEAS — We have a big crop of extra fancy
quality in many colors. Long stems. Also fine Daisies.

VALLEY— We have the largest and choicest stock to draw
upon; you can rely on us.

LILIES— Our present cut of Harrisii is large and the
flowers are extra fine. We also have first-class Auratums in large
supply, the first of the season.

CARNATIONS — All the leading varieties in large supply.
Quality as good as we ever had so late in the season.

We solicit your orders for the above stock, and for other
items, with the assurance that we can at any moment supply in
best quality everything which is to be had in Chicago. Write,

Various Notes.

The Florists' Club meets tonight.
Vice-President Leonard Kill will pre-
side in the absence of President Haus-
wirth, who is in California. The club
picnic takes place June 24 at Joliet, and
the committee plans to get out a big
crowd.

E. C. Amling has had for the past
week a nice supply of auratum lilies of
excellent quality.

John Prochaska, formerly a section
foreman for Wictor Bros., is now in
charge of the plant of the Chicago Rose
Co., having succeeded D. J. Murphy, who
resigned June 4.

F. F. Benthcy is enjoying a box of
cigars tliis week as the result of his ef-
forts to induce a Greek to restore a
purse and contents which a customer
dropped in the Benthey-Coatsworth store
a week ago.

Miss Ethel Curran, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. J. J. Curran, will be united
in marriage to Mr. J. Edward Simpson
at the home of her parents, West Peter-
son and North Forty-eighth avenues,
Thursday, June 14. Mr. Simpson is a
nephew of Robert Simpson, Clifton, X.
J. The wedding will be a quiet affair,
only the immediate relatives being in
attendance. After a few weeks spent in
Milwaukee and nearby points, the young
couple will return to this city to the
home of the bride's parents.

A son of J. F. Kidwell, accompanied
by three other lads, none of them more
than 14 years old, started for Panama
Juije 9. They had proceeded as far as
Pullman when the Kidwell lad thought
better of it.

Bassett & Washburn report excellent
business, as is usual with them in June.
One order from a small Illinois city last
week called for 1,700 valley, 2,500 dai-
sies, 900 select Chatenay and enough
other stock to make the bill foot up to
$300. They required 5,000 daisies in
two days for their shipping trade.

Jos. Brooks last fall leased a half of
the Geo. Harrer plant at Morton Grove
arid filled it with carnations. This sea-
son he is taking on the rest of the glass.

Frank Beu reports an excellent spring
business. He had a large stock of vincas
and sold out nicely.

Anton Kill died Wednesday, June 6.
He was 63 years of age and well known
to the florists of the Bowmanville sec-
tion. His only son is Leonard Kill,

CINCINNATL

The Market

After a week of very hot weather we
are now having it cool, which we hope
will tend to give business a new lease of
life. Business is moving along quietly,
but taking all things into consideration
I believe it to be fully up to other years,
if not better. The past week brought
forth a nice demand for stock of all
kinds and nearly every afternoon found
the market well cleaned up. Beauties
head the list in demand and there are
not enough of them to fill orders. Bride
roses are a close second and sell out
as fast as they are received at the whole-
sale houses. Maids do not do quite so
well. Carnations of all but the poorest
grades are disposed of at good figures.
Sweet peas, lilies of all kinds, and other
kinds of flowers have sold well and at
good prices. There are still some good
peonies to be seen, mostly cold-storage
stock, but the end of them is in sight.

There are some wedding decorations
of good size booked by the local retail
men for the latter part of this month,
together with a number of commence-
ments, which ought to bring a very good
demand.

Cub Meeting.

The annual election of officers of the
Florists' Society took place June 9 and
quite a number of members were present
when the meeting was called to order.

The following were elected to serve as
the board of directors of the society for
the ensuing year: President, Wm. Mur-
phy; vice-president, Ben George; secre-
tary, C. J. Ohmer; treasurer, D. Eus-
coni; trustee, E. Witterstaetter. Thus
the entire board was re-elected. Officers
will be installed at the next meeting of
the society, which will be held July 14.

After a general discussion it was de-
cided to hold the usual outing, and
Henry Schwarz was appointed chairman
of the committee. He promises us some-
thing entirely new and the florists of
this city and vicinity can look forward
to one of the best outings we have had
in years. The date has not yet been
set, but it will be about the third Thurs-
day of July.

The S. A. F. meeting at Dayton was
one of the interesting subjects that was
talked over. Every-one expressed a de-
sire to go, if not for the entire conven-
tion, at least for the opening day. It
looks very much as if we will have 100
or more in our delegation and if possi-
ble we will go in a special train. C. J.
Ohmer was appointed chairman of a
committee to work the matter up, get
the best possible rates from the rail-
roads, and also get together as large a
delegation as possible.

Geo. W. Loeber, of the Lockland Lum-
ber Co., was elected to membership.

Variout Notes.

Chas. Hoffmeister has accepted a posi-
tion with Weiland & dinger, at New
Castle, Ind.

Ben George had a narrow escape from
serious injury last week. During a
severe storm he was standing near the
telephone when the wire was struck by

lightning. He was knocked flat, but
escaped without injury.

C. P. Dleterich & Bro., of Maysville,
Ky., are building a house 22x150 feet.
They intend to devote it entirely to
roses, mostly Beauty.

It was with sincere regret that we
read of the death of C. H. Kunzman, of
Louisville. Mr, Kunzman was a fre-
quent caller in our city, where he had
many friends. Scarcely more than three
weeks ago he stopped to see us one
afternoon. He was in his usual good
spirits and spoke with a great deal of
enthusiasm of the coming S. A. F. con-
vention. His genial presence at that
meeting will be greatly missed.

Visitors were Chas. Dieterich, of Mays-
ville, Ky., and John Evans, of Eichmond,
Ind. C. J, Ohmer.

BOSTON.

The Market

While there has been a fair demand
for wedding and funeral flowers during
the past week, there was far too much
material placed on the market and much
had to be cleared at very low rates,
while some could not be sold at all.
Both roses and carnations felt the slump
and it is hard, owing to the erxatio
nature of the market, to give exact
quotations. It is hoped that commence-
ment and class day exercises will tone
up the market within a few days. Good
sweet peas and peonies of white and soft
pink shades have been in good demand
and there has been a nice call for green
goods. Flowers other than those named
have not been much sought after. The
first outdoor hybrid roses are arriving,

but the quality will be better in a few

from the open from one or two gjrowers.

Various Notes.

There is every indication that the
coming meeting of the American Peony
Society on June 15 and 16 will be a
record-breaking one in attendance, as
well as exhibits. Ideal weather for the
blooms has prevailed in this section of
late, abundant moisture and not too
much sunshine, and the quality promises
to be unusually high. Cottage Gardens
will probably be the largest exhibitor,
but there will be many other large com-
mercial and private exhibitors. In addi-
tion to peonies, quite a number of in-
teresting flowers will be staged.

Members of the Gardeners' and Flo-
rists' Club are asked to meet at the
Soldiers' monument, Jamaica Plain, at
3 p. m. June 19 for the field day at the
estates of Larz Anderson and Mrs. "W.
C. Brandegee. Cars will return for
Horticultural hall at 6 o 'clock and re-
freshments will be served at 7:30, after
which the regular club meeting will be
held.

J. A. Pettigrew and J. W. Duncan
are among those attending the Associa-

tion of American Park Superintendents'
convention at Washington this week.

Edwin C. Holmes, proprietor of the
Somerville Nursery, Broadway, East
Somerville, filed a voluntary petition in
bankruptcy on June 5, with liabilities
scheduled at $51,245 and assets of $9,-
372. The liabilities, of which $50,745 is
unsecured, are composed chiefly of ad-
vertising claims.

Prof. C. S. Sargent threw open his

The Market

Plantsmen are finishing up their season
in good shape and all say it was a very
satisfactory business. No one has any-
thing left except odds and ends, and
some small stock which is gradually be-
ing worked off.

The cut flower business was excellent
the past week. Everyone seemed busy, a
number of large weddings helping to
swell the volume of trade and the re-
tailers were happy. However, I cannot
say as much for the wholesalers. They
were busy and doing a good .business but,
work as they would, they could not make
a hole in the immense lots of stock com-
ing in.

Peonies were never more plentiful or
finer. These with quantities of Spanish
iris and thousands of bunches of sweet
peas kept the counters full and the
clerks hustling in the endeavor to get
rid of them. As a result carnations,
which had been scarce the week before,
became plentiful, with no demand. Eoses
arrived in an avalanche, but much of
the stock was so poor that there waa
trouble to select enough to take care of
orders. The peonies are now about done

and a day or two more will ease things

Club Meeting.

The Florists' Club met June 5. Peonies
^vere up for discussion and the members
found a very fine display awaiting them
at the club rooms. Among the exhibitors
was C. Betscher, Canal Dover, O., who
showed Edulis superba, Floral Treasure,
grandiflora. I^dy Bramwell, Due de
Orleans, Jenny Lind, Festiva maxima
and many others, all of which were very
fine and came in good shape.

H. A. ])reer, JMiiladelphia, showed
Couronne d'Or, Ciiarlemagne, Marie
I^niome and a number of others. Thoa

to lis that we seem to look for their ex-
hibit. Schenley park also had a nice
show of peonies and other hardy things.

The Pittsburg Bose and Carnation Co.
showed several handsome vases of white,
pink and red peonies.

One question was, "Are peonies a
good thing for the cut flower people?"
The answer of one man was: "Granted
it is one of the handsomest garden
plants, and no garden should be without
it, and that it is fine as a decorative
flower, as far as the grower is concerned
he would be better off without them.
During the few davs they last, they sell
so cheaply that they take the place of so
much stock and the price realized on
peonies is so small that he is on the
wrong side financially; but certainly we
still will have peonies."

A committee was appointed to stir up
matters pertaining to the convention and
secure rates and any information that
will be of use to tho'se who wish to at-
tend.

E. C. Beineman was appointed chair-
man of a committee to arrange for a
picnic or outing of some kind, with full
power to act. This is the one feature
of the club in which wives, children and
sweethearts can participate and is be-
coming more popular each year.

VariotM Notes.

An immense water tank on top of the
building in which J. B. Murdoch & Co.
are located gave way June 8, and came
crashing through the third and second
floors, bringing everything with it and
burying fourteen people in the debris.
All were injured but none was killed.
Murdoch received no damage, although
a single partition was all that was be-
tween them and the wreck.

Al Sheapard, who came to Pittsburg
some years ago from New York, to work
for A. M. Murdoch, but had been with
Bandolph & McClements the last few
years, died June 6. He had been con-
fined to his bed since shortly after the
holidays. He was 57 years old and with
his large experience was considered one
of the best men in the city.

Lee Biley, of the Pittsburg Florists *^
Exchange, played ball Decoration day
and had a little finger almost torn off.
He has been nursing it ever since.

Miss Geib, of the Pittsburg Cut
Flower Co., is the first on record to
start the vacation racket. She is "up
the Hudson."

Sweet peas could have been bought
in large lots last week as cheaply as a
penny a buneh. Peonies went at buyers*
prices.

COPYRIGHT BILL GOES OVER.

Word comes from Washington that
the house committee on copyrights and
patents has closed its hearings and will
rot be authorized to conduct any during
the ret'ess, but will be ready to resume
the first Monday in December. Conse-
quently the copyright bill, under advise-
ment, goes over. The bill includes that
published some months- ago providing
for the control of horticultural novelties.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

The market the past week was again
badly overstocked with a poor quality of
flowers, which brought little. The com-
mission men who had first-class stock
sold out at fair price.s, as the demand
for this quality is good. The retailers
complain as to dull business the last
week. Even funeral work was scarce.
A few small weddings were about all
that was going on. The greenhouse men
are about through outdoor planting and
are beginning to pull out and replant
the houses for the fall season. This week
will finish up the social season and school
closings, and then the summer dullness
will be upon us.

At the commission houses carnations
were extremely plentiful all of laSt week,
and of fair quality, but sold at very
cheap prices in 1,000 lots. It seemed
that the buyers did not care for carna-
tions. Roses were in so much better de-
mand that even the poor quality which
was offered sold well. Most of the rose
stock is badly mildewed.

Sweet peas are coming in with longer

stems and are in big demand where qual-
ity is good. There are plenty of daisies,
candidum lilies and cornflowers in the
market. Valley hold:< out well. All
greens are plentiful.

Various Notes.

Frank S. Mills, shipper of greens and
Christmas trees, from Rhinelander, Wis.,
was in town last week. J. J. Nuss-
baiimtr, of San Angelo, Texas, also
called, and A. M. Augspurger, of D. U.
Augspurger & Sons, Peoria, 111., was
down. Meyer, the Boston silkaline man,
also was a caller.

F. A. Weber, C. C. Sanders and J. W.
Schuette, our local nurserymen, left
Monday night for Dallas, Texas, to at-
tend the nurserymen's convention. Be-
fore returning Mr. Sanders will visit
Galveston and other points in Texas.

Charles Holzborn, who has his place
at 3150 Oak Hill avenue, had a narrow
escape from death on Saturday, coming
in collision with a street car. The horse
was so badly hurt that it had to be
killed. Mr. Holzborn came out without
a scratch.

Martin Rcukauf, who represents H.
Bayersdorfer, of Philadelphia, Pa., left
Monday uight for Louisville, to be with
the home-comers there this week.

Arthur Ellison is now in the employ
of the Union Electric Light Co.

Gus Miller, who has greenhouses at
Bowbrink Station, will this week open
a store at 7718 South Broadway, where
he has the field to himself.

Samuel B. Young, who was agricul-
trr'^l and horticultural agent for the
Missouri Pacific & Iron Mountain sys-

tem, has resigned his position to take
up fruit farming in Arkansas.

The Ayers Floral Co. has the hall
decorations for the two largest school
closings on Thursday and Friday.

Chas. Ducher, landscape gardener at
the Chain of Rocks, was shot by an un-
known man last week. From last ac-
counts he was out of danger.

George Ostertag, superintendent of
jtarks, has made good from the jump.
All the parks certainly look beautiful.

Bowline.

The florists ' bowling club wound up
its season in the city league last week
Thursday and came in last in the race.
A total of 102 games were played dur-
ing the season. The seven florists who
comprised the team made the following
averages :

One may as well settle down to a

custom in past years, and wait patiently
for the schools to reopen and society

There's the outing and the Dayton con-
vention to stir up things in the interim,
and everybody needs a little rest. Eter-
nal distribution of flowers even would
grow monotonous. It has been on the
whole a most wonderful year for all in-
terests, the best ever known in cut
flowers, supplies, seeds, bulbs, nursery
stock and bedding plants. The average
gives no cause for the grower's com-
plaint, if he does complain, and we
haven't heard him except about the in-
justice and arbitrariness of express mo-
nopolists. Everything the grower grows
has been sold, and usually well sold,
and prosperity never was so universal in
the trade. The wholesale cut flower men
are philosophical and willing to look on
the bright side of things and are quite
as generous and good natured as ever.

Ijaat week was certainly a terror. Lit-
tle stock was first-class. When it was, it
«old quickly and at fair prices, but the
bulk of everything was closed out at
fearful reductions. Mildewed roses
■would not sell at all. Some wholesalers
could not give them away, and of car-
nations I saw boxes two or three days
canned that even the Greek sidewalk

element could not be coaxed to accept
without money and without price. Shoals
of carnations were sold on Saturday at
50 cents a hundred and less.

And peonies, where did they come
from? One whole wagon-load of them
went for $10, Jersey grown and of fair
quality. This week will probably see
the end of the flood. The late comers,
if the quality is good, will do better.
Some from the west of the state will be
in, retarded by the cold and, unless in-
jured by the big storm of Sunday, should
command fair prices.

Orchids hold fairly steady and there
are plenty of them. The June weddings
are increasing in number, and all the
bon-ton retailers are getting a share
from the strong boxes of the millionaires
who have marriageable daughters.

Qub Meeting.

The New York Florists' Club on Mon-
day evening held its last session for the
season. The ladies came in large num-
bers and received a warm welcome,
abundant floral recognition and an ex-
cellent dinner. The gentlemen, too, were
not forgotten. The musical and literary

program included songs and instrumen-
tal music by Mrs. Kelley and Mrs. Fon-
gey and declamations by Mr. Kelley,
Several of the club's members also con-
tributed of their talents.

The peony exhibit was not large, but
the display was of the best in color and
variety. The Columbia rose was again
on exhibition, also Nephrolepis Whit-
mani and a beautiful collection of
orchids from Lager & Hurrell. A cul-
tural certificate was given and the thanks
of the club accorded all the exhibitors.
The peonies were sent by the Cottage
Gardens and Chas. Lenker.

The outing committee reported every-
thing in readiness for the excursion July
2 and tickets selling rapidly. Great
preparations for the enjoyment of a
record crowd are completed.

Resolutions on the death of the sister
of John F. Nugent and the father of
Peter Devoy were read and adopted.

Mr. O 'Mara reported for the commit-
tee appointed to secure lower express
rates and read a letter from the United
States Express Co. that was very inde-
pendent and unsatisfactory in character.
The committee was continued. Mr.

O'Mara also reported for the special
committee on the San Francisco dis-
aster and the club's secretary was in-
structed to communicate with the secre-
tary of the San Francisco club to ascer-
tain what help the New York club can
render.

W. F. Ross, Arthur Withers and Jos.
Hoffraeir were elected members of the
club, and H. II. Harrows, of Whitman,
Mass., was proposed.

A letter was read from President
Kasting regretting his inability- to be
present. The transportation committee
has full power to make all the neces-
sary arrangements for the trip to Day-
ton in August.

The attendance wa,s large and enthu-
siastic, the meeting and banquet rooms
being comfortably filled. The club ad-
journed at midnight until the second
Monday in September.

Vaiioui Notes.

They say the Newport season does
not promise as well as expected, some
of the dukes, duchesses and the like
having cancelled their dates. This is
hardly fair to the New York florists,
who have made such extensive prepara-
tions to entertain them, and who have
already opened their summer stores
there. Siebrecht & Son, Wadley &
Smythe, Leikens and Hodgson are all
open for business.

School commencements here next week
and up to June 30 will give the month
a lively ending for the retailers.

July 2 everybody will be ready for
the oiiting of the club. Eetailers are
joining in the movement to make it a
success. Special prizes are set aside for

that branch of the trade. Special gifts
and enjoyments are provided for the
children and every handsome baby is to
receive a prize. -All florists' babies are
so handsome it is impossible to pick one
that the other mothers can accept. It
was so last year, and the judges have
not slept well since.

Joseph Eolker and Winfrid Bolker
have the sympathy of the trade in the
loss of their brother, Herman, who died
May 26 at his home in Brooklyn, from
heart failure. Mr. Rolker was at one
time a partner in the firm of August
Rolker & Sons.

Next week Wednesday J. P. Cleary
will sell at auction the entire stock of
plants in the greenhouses of Geo.
Lorenz. of Astoria, L. I. Mr. Lorenz
has sold his property advantageously to
tlie Long Island real estate boomers.
Tjand within twenty miles of New York
in every direction has quadrupled in
value and is still ballooning. A little
two-acre plot at Farmingdale I owned
fifteen years ago and sold for $500 in
connection with Grover Cleveland's elec-
tion sold last week for $5,000.

Alex McConncll moved June 8 into
his splendid new store on Fifth avenue,
in the Arcade building, corner of Forty-
seventh street, after sixteen years spent
in the old building at Forty-fifth street
and Fifth avenue. The new location is
one of the best in New York and the
store is seventy-five feet deep, with
basement to correspond, and wonderfully
light and convenient. McConnell's old
store was one of the landmarks on Fifth
avenue. Some of tlie best people in
America have depended on it for their
flower supply. .Mr. McConnell says

"right goods means custom, no matter
where the location." Some have dealt
steadily with him for a quarter of a
century. The new store will be fitted
out with every modern improvement and
elaborately decorated. Business has al-
ready begun and the change has been
made without rippling the surface of the
flow of trade.

Many, of the florists are already lo-
cated in their summer homes in the
mountains or by the sea or sound. Wal-
ter Sheridan is" near Stamford, Conn. ;
Wm. Ford is away for a two weeks'
rest; Sigmund Geller will be home from
Europe Saturday, and several of the
wholesalers have country homes in Jer-
sey or on Long Island.

The general acquiescence in early clos-
ing is encouraging. Many think that by
July 1 the movement will be almost uni-
versal. It ought to be. Just as much
will be sold and employees would get
much needed rest.

The Horticultural Society of New
York has summer weather for its sum-
mer show Wednesday and Thursday, but
nothing seems to wake New York in
flower exhibits and no very large at-
tendance nor enthusiasm is hoped for.

•Tno. J. Perkins & Son have rented
part of the new store of Cotsonas & Co.,
.50 West Twenty-eighth street. The gen-
eral desire of the wholesalers seems to
be concentration and Twenty-eighth
street is the Mecca. West Twenty-ninth,
however, holds firm and the majority of
the old houses remain and are likely to
do po. ('has. Millang, Saltford and
Gunther are veterans of wholesale cut
flowerdoni.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

Last week closed poorly. The de-
mand, which had been wonderfully strong
up to Thursday, fell away on Friday
and Saturday, the market dragging
badly. Carnations suffered most. This
IS due partly to the weather, which is
certainly not carnation weather, and
partly to the fact that the divine flower
IS not in especial demand for weddings

or commencements. The supply has been
enormous, the average quality rather
poor, and prices are away down.

I'his week opened auspiciously. While
business is not as good as it was a
week ago, there is considerable activity,
owing to some more commencements and
wedditjgs. The supply of fancy roses is
rather limited, all the good stock offered
realizing satisfactory prices.

Peonies, locally grown, are over. We
are receiving some out-of-town stock,
and will soon be dependent on E. W.
Ciaehring and his followers, for cold
storage stock, which promises to last
quite as long as the weddings. Sweet
peas are abundant and the quality of
some is excellent. Cattleya Mossise and
valley are both fine. Centaurea is in
strong supply. Phil owes the Flower
Market and S. S. Pennock an apology
for saying that Easter lilies are over.
They are not, and the quality is excel-
lent. Coreopsis is abundant and very
good. Water lilies have made their ap-
pearance.

Edward Blester, of Broad street and
Susquehanna avenue, will build a hand-

the twelve highest scorers will roll a de-

firm 's sterling novelties recently. Among
them were the new crystal glass bowls,
with handles. They come in a variety

that would make an attractive addition

49 _What is the flower that resembles
wistaria, that I have seen in Mr. Bat-
ties' showcase? The color is pink and
pale blue, not purple. Tf i« r

Probably Inpmus, an annual. It is a
cluster flower, but unlike wistaria is
erect, not pendant. The colors are white,
hhie and pink.
To__in your article on the seasaw
system, published May 31, you opposed
the d^viLn of shipments. Is not this

absurd? -,. • ■ „ji „i,5r>

I do not oppose a division of ship-
ments. In large places, this may be
advantageous. I oppose the unnecessary
fluctuation of shipments.

52. —Why do you not give us more cul-
tural notes in your column?

Were I as good a grower as you are,
I would not be a newspaper correspond-
ent at all. Phil.

AHEBICABT SEED TBADE ASSOCIATION.

Pres., W. H. Qrenell, Saginaw, W. S., Mich.;
First Vlce-Pres., L. L. May, St. Paul; Sec'y and
Treas., C. E. Kendel, Cleveland. The 24tb annual
meeting: will be held at Toledo, O , June 26-28, 1906.

The bean fields in many sections are
too wet and the onion set fields too dry.

It looks bad for the canned tomato in-
dustry at present. The dry weather and
the unusual shortage of plants is likely
to make the harvest sliort.

The pea crops continue to do well.
Some of the early sorts are in bloom
and the stand throughout the central
growing section is uniformly good.

The injury to the Italian crop by the
eruption of Vesuvius is reported to be
resposible for the latest advance in the
price of Paper Whites for fall shipment.

E. C. Holmes, doing a mail order seed
and plant business at East Somerville,
Mass., using half a dozen names, filed a
petition in bankruptcy June 5, with lia-
bilities of $51,245.

There is a dearth of news from the
Nebraska growers. It is likely that all
their energies are bent on getting out
a good acreage of vine seeds and sweet
corn, and that reports will follow in due
course.

The lack of demand for sweet corn
was something of a disappointment. The
usual acreage is supposed to have been
planted, but the source from which the
seed to do this with was drawn is a sort
of conundrum.

The cabbage growers are about ready
to set out plants for their main crop.
There seems to be no shortage of plants,
but the weather has put the land in poor
shape. There are two weeks yet, how-
ever, if the plants will hold.

Market gardeners are complaining
-about the low prices at which they are
forced to sell green stuff. The weather
is against good crops and the combi-
nation of low prices and short crops is
something that does not Jook right to
them.

C. P. Beaslan, San Jose, Cal., writes
under date of June 9 : " The onion crop
during the past ten days has had a se-
vere dose of mildew and the crop has
heen reduced fully fifty per cent. The
«talks are yellow, giving the crop the
appearance of having jaundice. The
onion crop in California promises to be
the shortest in many years."

Possibly fearing that some of the
seeds it mails under congressional
franks were failing, through the ignor-
ance of the recipients, to achieve the
purpose for which nature intended them,
the department of agriculture issued a
bulletin entitled "The Home Vegetable
Garden," with forty pages of cultural
directions and elaborate planting tables.
Then surely nothing remained for the
department but to issue a cook book,
and it is now being distributed, just as
the early vegetables are ready. It is
•"Preparation of Vegetables for the
Table," Farmers' Bulletin No. 256 — or
perhaps this is only another slap at the
beef trust.

The onion maggot has been more in
evidence this season than for many years.
It has done considerable damage to the
crop of large onions and its ravages in
the fields for sets has been serious.

Some washouts from heavy rains are
reported from the cucumber seed sections
of Michigan. Some of the pickle men
report replanting necessary from the
same cause. It is not too late to replant
in either case.

Rochester seedsmen have had an un-
even season, because of unseasonable
and changeable weather, but the same
factor has required second, and even
third plantings, in some cases, and has
contributed to bring the aggregate
business to a quite satisfactory total.

The end of the seed season finds all
of the trade in good spirits. The profits
of the season are satisfactory and re-
ports in general indicate that little sur-
plus will be carried over. The fact that
there is complaint in several sections
that one or two good bunches of onion
seed did not show up after it was planted
may be taken to mean that good onion
seed was well cleaned up. It is stated
that some field corn has been carried
over. This being one of the less impor-
tant items, causes little uneasiness. The
important thing from now on is the con-
dition and probable outcome of the grow-
ing crops. It seems to be generally felt
that there will be need of all that may
be harvested.

EUROPEAN SEED NOTES.

Further reports of the bad keeping
qualities of mangels and beets, and the
injury from frost, are to hand. I hear
from one or two European growing dis-
tricts that the plants are not breaking
away as regularly as might be desired
and, owing no doubt to a touch of rot
in the bulbs, many patchy crops are pre-
dicted, especially in France, but still if
some ideal weather conditions would now
prevail and continue, the defect might
still be made good.

All over Europe the weather has prob-
ably never been so unseasonable. West-
ern Europe has been deluged with rain
the last week and much damage to all
sorts of crops is resulting. With it all
the temperature is severely cold. Peas
growing both for seed purposes and
market have suffered the most, in some
cases entirely killed by frost, and in
consequence the pea crop all over Eu-
rope will be much reduced. This will
have the effect of making trade in this
line still worse next season. Growers
Avill not plant an article that is subject
to such damage by weather as the pea
crops have suffered the last few years.

A lot of complaint is heard this year
of the tulip mold, Botrytis parasitica,
and it will considerably affect the num-
ber of first grade bulbs in Holland in
the coming crop. It is a very annoying
trouble, for the seedsmen who buy for
bedding and private retail trade. The
trouble cannot well be detected when
bulbs are received from Holland in the
autumn, but when they bloom it makes
itself known by spoiling the growth and
thereby causing the retail customer to
come back on the seedsman for having
sold bulbs of inferior quality. There
does not appear to be any remedy except
burning the affected bulbs.

Further reports of disaster caused by
Vesuvius to seed crops growing around
the fertile base of the mountain are to
hand. Many sowings of annuals, such as
asters, stocks, zinnias, etc., are ruined.
Fortunately, it occurred early enough
for a second sowing to be made and the
harm in that case will be that the har-
vesting will be slightly later and of
course lighter in consequence. B. J.

WEED KILLER

^'TARGET brand;' WEED KILLER is the

result of exhaustive experiments and can be truthfully
claimed to be the most economical as well as the
most effective killer ever offered. One gallon makes
50 gallons of treating liquid, sufficient to cover a space
450x450 feet. It is far cheaper to use than labor for
weeding. Try a sample gallon and convince yourself.
Our reputation and guarantee stand behind every
package. When properly applied and used according
to directions, weeds are scarce after the first appHcation,
and remain so all season.

State of Trade.

While the solons tarry at the national
capital there will be dinners — consequent-
ly decorations. Good stocks of Killar-
ney, Liberty and Bridesmaid are being
used. The inferior grades of roses are
a drug, sweet peas, sweet Williams and
other outdoor flowers being taken in
preference. Cut rambler rosQs sell bet-
ter than the common grade of green-
house roses. Snapdragon, coreopsis and
water flowers are in quantity. Though
low prices prevail, it is really surpris-
ing what a great amount of outdoor
stock is being sold. There is consider-
able movement in rose plants for sum-
mer planting.

On June 9 the city was visited by an
unusually heavy wind storm, with great
rainfall. Many trees on the capitol
grounds and in the street parking were
broken oflf or damaged. No great loss
was sustained by any of the growers
tliough several acknowledged that they
got a scare. Scotty.

vived interest in outdoor planting.

about an equal area in hotbeds. He has
quite an area of hardy stock of various

him all the time, demand is so good.

planning for another increase next sea-

of the trade again to the new departure.
Every florist in the south ought to send
in his application. Once a member he
will surely sometime feel the advantage
of the society. It is very encouraging
to see the enterprise represented already
by five or six different states and every-
thing from the start points to a bright
future.

Dry weather and dull times are all
that I can report. Our Memorial day
is not much in New Orleans. November
1 is the day we remember our dead. It
is too warm now to think of decoration,
still a few soldiers' graves and Grand
Army tombs were well remembered. It
gave some work to a few florists, J. H.
Menard seeming the busiest of all.

PACIFIC COAST.

GOOD GROWING SEASON.

The peculiar climatic conditions which
have prevailed in the vicinity of the Bay
of San Francisco will result in a splen-
did line of nursery stock for the coming
winter. It has been the custom from
time immemorial to irrigate all such
articles during the month of June to
keep the roots in touch with the warm
growing weather. This has not been
necessary this season, and nursery stock
of all descriptions, owing to the quan-
tity of moisture in the ground, looks
better than I have ever seen it at this
time. Irrigation serves a purpose, but
it is not to be compared with an easy
rainfall, which, when falling on the dry
ground, is entirely absorbed and made
use of by the growing crop.

On the other hand a great deal of
damage has been done to the early fruit
crops in this section. The first crop
of cherries was almost entirely spoiled,
to say nothing- of the harm done the
growing wheat and barley. In many
cases owing to the fact that the heavy
rainfall caused it to lay down, it will
be a complete loss.

As to the demand for nursery and
ornamc.tal stock for the coming season,
it is yet a little early to get much defi-
nite information regarding what will be
(lone. Some seem to think that Califor-
nia has received a black eye and it will
take several seasons to restore this
branch of trade to its normal aspect.
I have not seen many of our large grow-
ers, but will make an effort in the near
future to find out what the chances will
be for the disposal of nursery stock in
the coming fall and winter. G.

State of Business.

Following the great San Francisco
calamity business suffered a severe at-
tack of "quietus," which became gen-
eral. Excitement ran high, for seers
and prophets predicted a similar fate for
Portland and for two weeks we slept in
our working clothes with one eye open
toward the hills. But everything must
have an end. Conditions changed, busi-
ness assumed a most healthy tone and
we have not witnessed one really dull day
for a month.

of the same month a year ago that there
was no room for comparison. The
reasons may be ascribed as follows:
Tropical weather two months ahead of
the scheduled date resulted in an over-
abundance of everything and one could
almost hear the prices drop. But when
heavy rains came and cooled the atmos-
phere the quality of stock improved and
the public got busy.

The demand for flowers for Memorial
day was unprecedented. Never was there
such a clean sweep. We could have used
twice as many carnations and roses, and
when their supply was exhausted the lim-
ited variety of outdoor stuff sold al-
most as readily. Even bachelor buttons
and their country cousins, the field
daisies, joined in the solemn march to
the cemeteries. We disposed of thou-
sands of them in bunches of 100 at 50
cents a bunch. So complete was the sale
of everything available that our local
press made note of the fact.

And now come June weddings and
school commencements, which are already
much in evidence. The recent long cool
spell having checked the progress of out-
door flowers, the demand, both local and
out of town, is unusually large this year.
We are prepared for all emergencies, as
everything under glass is clean cut and
of the highest quality. H. J. M.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market

We are now enjoying the first really
good weather we have had this summer,
but Decoration day has come and gone
and we are now in the midst of our
quiet season. There were probably not
over a dozen retailers in town who en-
joyed the Memorial day business, but
they all report that they were well satis-
fied, considering the difficulties under
which the town is laboring.

There have been no new stores opened
during the past week, but from the pros-
pects we have retailers enough to supply
the wants of the public. Since Decora-
tion day there has been a very fair amount
of funeral work, both for designs and
.sprays, as well as some few wedding
decorations. The dealers did well for
the first few weeks after opening, and
in many cases old customers, although
far removed from their old locations, are
depending regularly upon their particu-
lar florist to accommodate them. The
telephone service has again been re-
.stored, which is a great help to the re-
tailers.

I made a tour this week among some
of the sweet pea, aster and chrysanthe-
mum growers in the neighborhood of
San Mateo and Burlingame, to see what
change had taken place on the hundreds
of acres devoted to the growing of these
flowers. I found in many cases the own-
ers had taken advantage of the June
rains and were marketing many thou-
sands of bunches daily. They complained
that It IS not a paying proposition to
cultivate and artificially water their
stocks after this time, owing to the fact
that the market is so limited and the
prices received so low. From 35 cents
to 50 cents per dozen bunches is the
pnce received at present.

With asters, as far as I can learn
there will be marketed about half a
crop; certainly not more than that. The

heavy rains have again in this instance
been a godsend, as it saved the watering
of growing plants for a space of a month
at least. I can say the same about the
chrysanthemum crop, regarding quantity
that will be grown. Fully half the acre-
age has been abandoned and the balance
looks well and will undoubtedly be han-
dled for the fall and winter trade.

For indoor stock, both roses and car-
nations are in poor demand this week.
There was a very fair call for them for
Memorial day, both tor shipping and for
local trade, but since then the prices
asked have dwindled so much that the
sum of .$5 will easily fill all the vases in
an ordinary sized floral establishment,
and fully equip the retailer for the day's
business.

Many of the growers who immediately
after the fire concluded to let their
houses dry up have reconsidered and will

fif ^°* V,"^ ^'^*^ ^ S"^*^ ^0* o^ stock for
the fall, no matter what the summer
business may amount to. I hope they
will be well repaid for their faith in
the readjustment of business matters in
the town of Frisco.

Variotis Notes.

D. Gruettner, of Vallejo, was in town
this week. Mr. Gruettner has given up
his store and will in future devote him-
self to his nursery trade.

R. D. Hunter, of the Germain Seed
Co., Los Angeles, spent several days here
and will depart for a trip in the north-
ern part of the state in a day or two.

The Cox Seed Co. has completed the
first seed warehouse on the Glen Echo
grounds. It is 35x150 feet and will be
devoted to vegetable and grass seeds.

C. M. Robinson, of Rochester, N. Y.,
the well known norticultural engineer,
has submitted to the city council of
Oakland his recently completed plans
for the beautifying of the city.

M. Theodore Kearney, of Fresno, re-
cently deceased and well known as one
of the most enthusiastic patrons of the
garuening interests, has willed to the
horticultural and viticultural departments
of the University of California about
$750,000.

Considerable money has been lost by
the growers of i^ilium longiflorum this
season. There is usually a good demand
at this time and many of the whole-
salers had large plantings ready to mar-
ket. The extremely low prices have
played havoc with the profits.

The town of Alameda supports about
half a dozen floral establishments. There
has been a good demand for funeral
work and several of the dealers report
that the business done during the month
of June was the largest in the history of
tue town.

The Misses Lacy, of Fruitvale, have
a magnificent showing of gladioli and
Japanese iris on their grounds. G.

A. Mitting sold his interest in the

ern Carnation Co. At Santa Cruz he is

DETROIT.

The Market.

While business remains about the
same, there is a very decided difference
in the market conditions as compared
with last week. Good long-stemmed
roses are just about equal to the de-
mand. Of short stock there is a con-
siderable surplus, there being seemingly
no outlet for this grade. Short Kaiser-
ins in particular are being thrown away
by the hundred.

Carnations also have dropped from $3
to $1.50 for the best, and unless some-
thing unexpected happens will soon fol-
low close on the heels of the short grade
of Kaiserin. Sweet peas are very soft
and have seen their best days for this
season. Several thousand longiflorum
lilies are also awaiting a buyer. Peonies
are arriving in large shipments.

Various Notes.

The Florists' Club s regular meeting,
held June 6, brought out but a small
attendance, owing to the extreme heat.
Aside from several warm arguments on
price cutting, nothing of particular in-
terest took place.

Thousands of rose bushes at the
Windemere gardens, Highland park, are
in full bloom.

A terrific hail storm passing over
Northville, Mich., broke about 4,000
square feet of glass at J. M. Dickson 's
place.

Visitors: Mr. Smith, of Smith &
Fetters, Cleveland. H. S.

Wausau, Wis. — Christ Lund has the
sympathy of the community and of the
trade at large in the death of his only
son, aged 9 years, who was drowned here
recently.

OwATONXA, Minn. — The recent addi-
tion of 8,000 feet of glass to the estab-
lishment of the Clinton Falls Nursery
Co. has been completed and planted to
Kate Moulton and Richmond roses.
Trade has been exceptionally good the
past season and good prices have pre-
vailed.

Fort Wayne, Ind. — The marriage is
announced of John J. Lanternier and
Miss Laura C. Sehuckman. The service
^^a& solemnized at St. Mary's Catholic
church and was followed by an elaborate
wedding breakfast at the home of the
bride's parents. Mr. and Mrs. Lantern-
ier are now domiciled at 2508 Fletcher
avenue.

DENVER.

The fishing season opened June 1 and
a number of the craft took advantage
of it. J. A. Valentine, N. A. Benson,
K. S. Kennedy and others went up the
Platte to Decker's. Mr. Benson catching
the largest rainbow trout, weighing near-
ly six pounds, was declared the cham-
pion,

E. J. Keynolds, of the Scott Floral
Co., has returned from the east, report-
ing a very pleasant trip.

W. W. Wilmore is bringing in some
of the finest white, pink and red peonies
seen in some time, and the select ones
retail for $2 per dozen.

The usual number of June weddings
are now oii, while graduation day calls
for many flowers. Business since
Decoration day has kept up remarkably
well. E. S. K.

TAUNTON, MASS.

Taunton Greenhouses report that Me-
morial day business far surpassed all
previous years' records. Every flower
procurable was sold and many late orders
could not be executed. Trade in bed-
ding plants since Easter has been very
good. At present wedding and funeral
orders use a good deal of material and
prospects are bright for excellent trade
all through June.

A1J.ENTOWN, Pa. — Kroninger Bros,
have bought twenty-three acres of what
is known as the Jesse Keck tract for
$14,000. It adjoins their property and
will be used for the extension of their
business.

Fort S(ott, Kan.' — I. Parker & Son
have bought the Koselawn Greenhouses 1
from Alma S. Patterson. The establish- \
meut will be consolidated with that al- 1
ready owned by them and located at ;
South Horton street. They will drill for
gas for heating purposes.

ViRDEN, III. — J. W. Garner, who has ^
been reported as starting in the green-
house business, is closing out his other
interests, ilaterial has been ordered for
a house 17x80 and another 10x80. Steam
heat for 2,.500 square feet will be pro-
vided and the plant is to be in operation
by September 1.

McKinnfy, Tex. — It was eight years
ago that G. W. Taylor started in the
greenliouse business witli a few cold
frames. He now has one of the most
up-to-date plants in northern Texas. A
new windmill and steel tower costing
$1,200 has just been added. A con-
siderable line of nursery- stock is also
handled.

THE READERS' CORNER.

G>acerning: Photographs.

There is one matter to which I should
like to call the attention of the readers
of the Review, and especially of those
who have photographs taken. I would
also like to ask consideration of the mat-
ter of, as I think, marring the beauty of
a fine photograph of a house of roses,
carnations or other stock with employ-
ees and others in the same photograph.
Now, in my opinion, when a florist
wishes to show a specimen plant or a
fine house of something, people certain-
ly ought to be left out, or taken in a
separate picture. Not very long ago a
fine photograph of a house of carnations
was printed, which was almost wholly ob-
scured by men, women and children,
twelve in all, and it is seldom I find a
photograph of this kind but what there
are one or more persons in it. This may be
a peculiar notion of mine, and no doubt
I may run up against something hard,
but I certainly would like to know what
others think about it. N. B. Stover.

PRESERVATLVES FOR BENCHES.

Will it be of any advantage to cover
the bottoms of the beds, where I aim to
plant some mums and carnations, with a
coat of tarf Will it help to keep out
some of the little ants, bugs, etc., which
infest the soil so much here? Would I
get an^ bad effects from putting the
tar on the wood before laying the dirt
if T should let the tar get thoroughly
dry? G, W. T.

With the tar put on new boards and
allowed to get perfectly dry it would
have no bad effects on the plants and
would preserve the wood, but would not
be congenial to the roots of the plants
when they reached the boards, which the
roots of all healthy and vigorous plants
are sure to do. I would much prefer to
give the surface of the boards a heavy
coat of crude petroleum. It will preserve
the boards better than the tar and there
will be not the slightest danger of any
injury to the roots, and it will quite
as effectively destroy any of ' ' the little
ants, bugs, etc." ' W. S.

MOLINE, III.— The Tri-City Florists'
Club met June 7 with Wm. H. F. Knees,
The feature of the afternoon was the
laying of the cornerstone for a new
greenhouse 27x110 to be erected this
season by Mr. Knees.

GREENHOUSE PAINT.

The Lord & Burnham Co. has made
a long series of exhaustive experiments
with painting in greenhouses for the
purpose of finding a white lead and
method of mixing it that will make it
free from cracking and less liable to
mildew or peel off.

It seems that in all pulp-ground lead,
that is, ground in oil, there is an excess
^f moisture. This moisture causes it to
peel. By kiln-drying the lead the Lord
& Burnham (Jo. expels practically all the
moisture. Then the lead is ground finer
than the finest flour. This grinding
makes it incorporate thoroughly and
easily with the oil. This lead will then
take twenty-five per cent more oil than
other leads and for the same reason will
go just that much farther.

AH the oil used is first tank-settled
for at least four months. This not only
purifies the oil, but cures it in a way
that increases its elasticity and binding
powers.

In a series of experiments with the
introduction of zinc, with the idea of
protecting the paint against the disas-
trous effects of salt air, as experienced
by the Long Island florLsts, it has been
found that ten per cent of zinc greatly
increases tlie life of the paint, while an
excess of ten per cent, because of its ex-
treme hardness, causes disastrous crack-
ing.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

Jdmb 14, 1906.

TWIN QTIES.

The Market

Business last week is reported by
most of the trade to have been very
good. The planting season was in full
swing and on that account all of the
dealers are kept going at a lively rate.
It appears that there has been more
planting done this year than in any
previous season. Geraniums in 4-inch
pots have been wholesaling at $1.25 a
dozen. It is evident that a great many
more were grown this season than last
year. Outside of geraniums there is not
a great deal on hand. Nearly every
order from outside calls for a number
of Baby Rambler roses, we presume on
account of the fact of it being so
heavily advertised.

The cut flower trade is slow. The an-
nual meeting of the Federation of Wo-
men's Clubs created some demand, espe-
cially for American Beauty, but it did
not last long enough to give the dealers
a chance to make much, Eoses are now
plentiful, whereas a week ago they could
not be bought for any price. Carnations
arc back to 75 cents a dozen. Decora-
tion day they were sold quite readily at
$1 and $1.50 a dozen, and it was not
a matter of price, but a question of get-
ting them.

St. Paul.

L. L. May & Co. report good business
in the planting line. Retail business
has been somewhat quiet, but funeral
work keeps up.

Holm & Olson are busy getting their
new store in shape, which they intend to
occupy about July 1. They are having
a skylight in the rear, which will act
as a conservatory and will no doubt
present a good appearance.

C. F. Vogt says business is good, but
the trade is mostly in the plant line.

H. Puvogel says that this is the best
plant year he has had, and that he is
still buried in orders.

Minneapolis.

The Whittcd Floral Co. now has one
of the prettiest stores in the city. The
display windows are large and give
ample room to make a good showing.

Carl Johannsen, with the Powers
Mercantile Co., says trade is keeping up
fine. He says Saturday is his day, as
he sells carnations almost by the thou-
sand.

Rice Bros, are 'doing a nice business,
shipping considerable stock into the
country. Tbcy also report a good city
business.

"Will & Son are busy building their
new range of houses, which when com-
plete will be one of the finest in this
section. Felix.

SIZE OF STEAM LINE.

What size steam line will it take to
supply three houses each 18x200 for
carnations and one house 21x200 for
roses and what size opening will it take
in the boiler to supply the size line that
is required? The houses are five feet
to the gutter and ten feet to the ridge.

T. W. C.

pipe running under the ridge to the far
end of the house and returning by nine
2-inch pipes in each if they are detached
and separated by alleys. If separated
only by division walls use nine returns
in each of the outside houses and eight
in each of the protected houses. If the
houses are built on the ridge and fur-
row plan and the space under the roof
forms a single room, the last plan should
be followed. L. C. C.

To supply the four houses in question
with steam the main supply pipe should
be a 6-inch. If the boilers are provided
with 4-inch openings and are worked in
a battery of two or three, better satis-
faction will be secured than from using
one large boiler. The boilers can be
yoked together by a cross line of 6-inch
pipe fed from the boilers through 4-inch
ripples. L. C. C.

PIPING FOUR HOUSES.

I am building four houses 15x112,
running east and west, glass in the west
end, south wall three feet high, with two
feet of glass. I have two No. 1 Kroe-
schell boilers rated to heat 6,000 feet of
glass each, also some 2-inch pipe. How
shall I pipe the houses to maintain a
temperature of 60 degrees in 15 below
zero weather! F. E. K.

As it is not stated, I assume that the
lour houses are separated by division
walls. If 80, the following amount of
piping will be required. One 3-inch flow

TOO FAR AWAY.

I have a greenhouse 18x100, the hot-
water heating plant being located at
one end. T wish to add another house
9x32 at the farther end. This house
will have a double boarded wall four
and one-half feet high on the north side,
the south side two and one-half feet
boarded and eighteen inches glass. The
west end will be glass above two and
one-half feet. The sashbars are seven
feet on one side and six feet on the
other, the ridge being seven feet high.
The flow pipes are 2^ -inch and the re-
turns 2-inch, Under the center bench
I wish to run a 1%-inch pipe for the
flow for the new house, or would you
run 2-inch? What size pipe for returns
will be needed and how many to keep
the small house at 40 degrees in zero
weather? e. L.

through the house will be adequate. If
the boiler is at one end of the house
18x100 feet and the new building is at
the opposite end, there may be some
difiiculty in heating this house during
severe weather, but under ordinary con-
ditions it should not be diflBcult. The
chief obstacle to success in heating this
house will be found in the length of the
flow pipes, if they are as I have assumed
in the above statement. L. C. C.

The amount of piping necessary for
your house 9x32 should be as follows:
A riser or flow of iy2-inch pipe will be
ample to supply heat for the house pro-
vided the water is at a temperature of
170 to 180 degrees. With water at this
temperature nine 1^4 -inch returns

FLOWS AND RETURNS.

The main house is 17x80 feet and nine
and one-half feet to the ridge, with
three benches; bottom heat. I have
figured on three lines of 2-inch flow pipes
the length of the house, with twelve
lines of 1^-inch return pipes. Also two
lines of 2-inch and six lines of 1^4 -inch
to heat a small house which is connected
to the larger one. The small house is
10x80. My heater is a Wilks 30x42.
Will one 2-inch flow and one 2-inch re-
turn be enough for all the water pipes,
or shall I use two of eaoh? The heater
has two 3-inch openings at top and bot-
tom. I will want a temperature of 60
or 65 degrees with zero weather.

J. W. G.

The house 17x80 feet requires 550 feet
of radiation. This can be supplied by
the use of one 2i/^-inch flow pipe and
fifteen 1^4 -inch returns, five under each
of the three benches. The small house
requires 340 feet of radiation, which can
be cared for by using a 2-inch flow from
the boiler to the distant end of the house
and nine 1^-inch returns. If your heat-
ing plant is so arranged as to permit

carrying the 2*4 -inch flow direct from
the boiler through the large house and
the 2-inch flow from the other opening in
the boiler direct to the smaller house,
I think the results will be more satis-
factory than to attempt to heat both
systems from a single flow. If one flow
were to be used it should be 3-inch at
least. L. C. C.

DEFECT NOT APPARENT.

My boiler is a No. 4 Kroeschell, thir-
tj'^-six inches wide, thirty-four inches
high, nine feet long; the grate is thirty-
six inches long and the boiler has four-
teen 3Vj-inch flues seven feet long. The
house 1 am heating is 30x101 feet, five
feet to the plate, thirteen feet to the
ridge. T have the up-hill system, all
pipes under the benches. I use 4-inch
boiler flues. There are two flows out of
the boiler. They lead out one and one-
half feet above the top of the boiler.
The front flow goes across the house, ris-
ing two inches to the other side, and
eight inches to the farther end of the
house. The returns come back about
four inches below the flows. To every
flow there .-ire two returns, with the ex-
ception of one flow and one return I
put in later. I have fourteen strings
in the house, five flows and nine re-
turns. It is hard to keep it up to .50
degrees at night when 10 degrees below
zero outside. What is the defect?

C. H. T.

I can not detect any defect, either in
the installation of the pipe or the
amount supplied. In fact, the house
should be heated with fewer pipes. If
the water can be heated to 180 degrees
and the circulation is good there should
be no diflSculty in carrying this load.
You have only about 1,500 square feet
of radiation and the No. 4 Kroeschell
is rated to carry 3,500 lineal feet of 4-
inch pipe, or about 4,100 square feet
of radiation. L. C. C.

CARE OF APPARATUS.

Should the water be removed from a
hot water boiler during the summer?
Should hot water pipes be emptied alsof
If they are not emptied, what is the
damage done? Should a small fire be
started when the pipes and boiler are
empty to dry out the boiler? What
causes the pipes to sweat in summer?
Should the pipes be painted to preserve
them? How long does it take hot water
pipes to rust through? Should a Fur-
man steam boiler be emptied in summer?

H. & C.

At the close of the season, and sev-
eral times during each season, the boiler
and heating pipes in either a steam or
hot water heating plant should be
drained and washed as thoroughly as
possible, but never should be left
empty. If after draining as above
noted, the plant can be filled with rain-
water there will be less deterioration
than with the use of well or spring
water. Before starting the fires in the
fall drain off the water that has stood
in the plant during the summer, refill
with fresh w;iter and go ahead, if all
joints are in good repair.

Never make a fire of any kind in an
empty boiler, whether it be a steam or a
hot water boiler unless you wish to
ruin it.

The so-called sweating of water pipes
is due to the fact that they have a

lower temperature than that of the sur-

of the atmosphere to condense upon their
.surface.

Although some growers paint the
pipes to preserve them, I believe it is
false economy, and pipes should never
be painted. A rusty pipe is a more
oflficient radiator than a painted pipe.
In other words, more heat can be re-
covered from a given amount of coal
with rusty pipes than with painted ones.
You lose in fuel more than you save in
pipes that are painted. L. C. C.

Since you have asked for suggestions
in addition to the question regarding the-

too late, that you change the direction
of your houses from east and west to
north and south and that you place your

houses get more sun during winter than

span, and the potting shed at the north
is a decided protection in sections where
the temperature falls below zero and
winds are prevalent, as in your state.

I would further suggest that you get
a boiler that can be used as a steam
boiler, pipe the houses on a steam basis
and run them with hot water during mild
weather, but change to steam during se-
vere weather. With a large plant this
will be a decided saving in first cost
and will be an advantage, as the tem-
perature of the houses can be held more
uniform during severe spells with steam
than with hot water. If the houses are
to be piped as above suggested the fol-
lowing specifications will serve:

Each house should be provided with
about 430 square feet of radiation. This,
if supplied by l^i-inch pipes, will re-
quire thirteen returns the length of the
house. If the returns are arranged under
the benches a S^-inch riser carried
from the main flow to the most distant
end of the house, beneath the ridge, can
be used to feed the returns. The houses
thus equipped will be satisfactory for
hot water in mild weather and can be
changed to steam in severe weather if
a boiler generating steam is used.

If you are to add two houses next
season I would advise the use of a boiler
rated to carry 3,000 feet of radiation;
not leds than 2,500 feet. The boiler pit
should be deep enough to place the boiler
well below the level of the returns in the
houses and of ample capacity. Small
boiler pits are a great inconvenience.

NORTHERN TEXAS.

Excellent growing conditions now pre-
vail. Carnations in the field are in
splendid shape. Sweet peas, roses and
deciduous shrubs are in fine condition.
Mums are benched and are coming right
along.

Koses in Texas are in bloom outdoors
from April to November, and what the
florists here need is enough bloom to
furnish customers only during the
months of December, January, February,
and part of March. Raised benches have
been used. When the sun shines, the
heat is intense. Bed spider and mildew
run riot. The benches dry out almost
as quickly as watered. An east and west
house should never be used. In one
case one end of a mum house was planted
in rose stock that was left over, with
practically no care until after the mums
were cut. The house was built for sash,
which were taken out in the spring and
put on again each fall. After the sash
was put on the plants were given the
same care one would take if growing
them in the north, and the result was
very satisfactory. There was no sign
of mildew until during the wet spell in
April, and that was easily killed. So
my advice is to plant in solid beds in
sash houses running north and south.
Take the sash off during the summer and
put them on only when there is fear of
frost. Bride, Maid, Gould and even
Beauties will do well with a light feed-
ing twice during the season.

few plants could be purchased at any

We notice today one of the most in-

The Test of Coastructioo

Of what use is first-class workmanship and the best
material if the construction of your house is antiquated
and out-of-date? There is as much in the style of
house as in the material of which it is built, and too
much stress cannot be laid on the "right kind of
construction."

There is a special house for each special condition
and the ordinary planing-mill knows nothing of
construction details. The first step toward "right
construction" is to get our catalogue and estimate.
Write now and start right — erect houses that will
enable you to compete with the other fellow.

THE PITH

of this boiler Question gets down to the coal question— what does
It burn. What heat do you get for the coal you burn? One boiler
may have a grate that cuts out the ashes in an 'improved" way.
and by the same token it will have more asbes to cut out. The
more coal you burn, the more the ashes- but do those aohes
mean an equivalent in heat? We can prove to you that the Hitch-
ings boiler is the best greenhouse boiler-prove it by what it has
proven for others.

What it Does and Why

-Starts the smallest amount of water

running at once.
-Has greatest water area and still casts

least shade.
-Drip gutter actually does take care of

all drip.
-All bolts are countersunk, leaving no

points for condensation.

Lord & Burnham Go.

Greanhouse De«igner« and Manufacturers.

— It is cast smooth and straight in lengths
of 8 feet, 3%-inche8.

— This length means : a straighter gutter
line, economy of posts, the reduced
labor of setting posts and the making
of gutter joints.

— It costs no more than other gutters.

It's the only gutter tliat takes care of con-
densation as condensation should be taken care
of— It adds great strength while decreasing the
shade. Fully described In catalog L. T.

THE BOSTON MEETING.

The annual meeting and exhibition of
the American Peony Society was held
at Horticultural hall, Boston, June 15
and 16, in conjunction with the Massa-
chusetts Horticultural Society's annual
peony show. It is a difficult problem to
select suitable dates for such an ex-
hibition. Probably those decided upon
were as good as could have been made
for New England, but were much too
late for states to tne south and west.
Exhibitors, with the exception of C. W.
Ward and E. A. Reeves, all hailed from
Massachusetts and it was to be regretted
that the' largest part of Mr. Ward's
extensive collection, which had been in
cold storage eight or ten days, dropped
to pieces before being staged. It is
the same experience he had at Chicago
last year.

While climatic conditions prevented
exhibits coming from a distance, and
while there were comparatively few en-
tries in the Peony 'Society's clsBses,
there were a good many visitors from
other states and a surprising amount
of interest was shown in the flowers
by the general pubnc, who attended the
exhibition in large numbers.

There was a good competition in most
of the Massachusetts Horticultural So-
ciety's classes and the peony display
comfortably filled the main exhibition
hall, other exhibits being staged in the
smaller halls. In looking over the ex-
hibits the urgent need or such an or-
ganization as the American Peony So-
ciety was speedily made apparent. Such
a pale flesh variety as Baroness
Schroeder was pure white in one exhibit,
while side by side another grower had
a bright pink variety bearing the same
name. L<<dy Alexandra Duff and other
Borts showed similar variations in color
from different growers.

The Awards.

For the largest and best collection,
one flower of each, George Hollis was
first with a splendid collection which
included some very fine seedlings, T.
o. Thurlow & Co. second. For twelve
L.o^ and most distinct varieties, six
blooms of each, C. W. Ward won with
a nice selection, T. C. Thurlow & Co

second. T. C. Thurlow & Co. led for
fifty white with a fine vase of Festiva
maxima. Judge W. C. Hbitt being sec-
ond with the same variety. The second
prize for fifty pink, any shade, went to
Thurlow. E. A. Beeves, Cleveland, O.,
had the best fifty crimsons, T. C. Thur-
low & Co. second.

There was little competition in the
classes allotted to amateur growers.
James McKissick took first for collec-
tions of white varieties and pink varie-
ties and for six blooms of any one
variety.

In the Massachusetts Horticultural
Society 's classes there was better compe-
tition. For thirty or more double varie-
ties Wm. Whitman, M. Sullivan gardener,
was in the lead with a well grown and
staged collection, H. A. Stevens Co. sec-
ond, J. McKissick third, George Hollis
fourth, and T, C. Thurlow fifth. Wm.
Whitman also won the Kelway silver gilt
medal for eighteen varieties single or
double, George Hollis taking the bronze
medal. Wm. Whitman was again in the
lead for twelve named double varieties
six flowers of each. For specimen bloom
Dr. C. G. Weld, W. C. Rust gardener,
was first for Baroness Schroeder, T. C.
Thurlow second for Lady Alexandra
Duff. T. C. Thurlow had the best collec-
tion of named singles, Wm. Whitman
second. George Hollis had the best
twelve vases of Japanese singles. Dr.
C. G. Weld led in the large china vase
class, followed by E. L. Lewis and E.

B. Wilder. For six named double whites
A. H. Fewkes won with a pretty set.
His varieties were Avalanche, Festiva,
Duke of Wellington, Festiva maxima,
Mont Blanc and Mme. Crousse. In this
class T. C. Thurlow was second, H. A.
Stevens Co. third. Mr. Fewkes also won
for six rose pink varieties, H. A.
Stevens Co. second. The latter firm was
first for six salmon pink varieties. T.

C. Thurlow had the best set of red and
crimson varieties, H. A. Stevens Co.
second.

H. A. Stevens Co. led for vase of
twenty-five white or blush and T. C.
Thurlow for pink or rose, with the
beautiful bright pink L'Esperance. W.
Whitman had the best vase of red or
crimson, H. A. Stevens Co. second. For

named varieties double, non-commercial
growers, prizes went to J. L. Blanchard,
E. L. Lems and James McKissick.

There were numerous displays not for
competition. A. H. Fewkes and Mrs.
E. M. Gill each had fine collections.
E. J. Shaylor had a beautiful table of
about 200 varieties, including many of
the best novelties from Dessert and other
European hybridists. C. W. Ward, T.
C. Thurlow, Joseph H. White, James
Wheeler gardener; Walter Hunnewell,
T. D. Hatfield gardener; Mrs. I. Low,
Mrs. J. B. Lawrence and others made
displays.

The Best Sorts.

In the way of strictly first-class
novelties there were few sorts shown
which were not seen last year in Chi-
cago. E. J. Shaylor 's French varieties
were very promising. George Hollis,
among some good things, showed Bunker
Hill, a first-class deep rosy pink which
should prove a fine commercial sort.
T. C. Thurlow also had some good seed-
lings, of which we especially admired
Pride of Essex.

The following varieties, some old and
others comparatively new, we especially
admired. All the colors are such as to
commend them to commercial growers.
Festiva maxima, still a leader in its
color; Boule de Neige, La Tendreese,
Mme. August Dessert, deep daybre.ak
pink, rather a flat flower; M. Dupont,
white flaked with crimson; Marguerite
Gerard, Ideality, a lovely semi-double
rosy pink; Langport Queen, Aurora,
semi-double blush white; Whittleyi
plena, Duchesse de Nemours, Mme.
Lebon, one of the best in the deep rosy
pink class; Mont Blanc, Venus, soft
pink, broad guard petals; Lady Alex-
andra Duff, one of the gems of the
show; Baroness Schroeder, Halbid, deep
pink; Belle Alliance, white; Mme. Calot,
Mrs. Rudd, ivory white, Mme. Emile
Lemoine, Mme. Boulanger, Marie Jac-
quin, Juliette Dessert, Camille Calot,
James Kelway, a fine scented white
variety; Mrs. Gwyn Lewis, dwarf white,
fragrant; and L'Esperance, bright pink.

Miscellaneous Exhibits.

Miscellaneous exhibits included a col-
lection of eremuri from Mount Desert
Nurseries, Bar Harbor, including E.
Elwesianus, Turkestanicus, robustus su-
perbus and robustus, awarded a silver
medal. Blue Hill Nurseries, Julius
Heurlin, proprietor, staged a superb col-
lection of hardy herbaceous flowers in
150 varieties. The labeling was a special
feature whiclr other exhibitors might well
copy; awarded a silver medal. The
same exhibitor had cut sprays of eighty
ornamental deciduous trees and shrubs,

including a pretty golden form of Acer
Negundo and a much improved form of
Fagus Bylvatica purpurea, named major.

W. W. Bawson received honorable
mention for Gladiolus cardinalis Acker-
manni and F. J. Kea a similar aveard for
a variety of Anchusa Italica. W, Heus-
tis & Son had a large collection of cut
sprays of trees and shrubs. Mrs. J. L.
Gardner, William Thatcher gardener,
staged a nice table of gloxinias, also
Cypripedium Parishii well bloomed. Wra.
Whitman showed Cattleya Gaskelliana.

Mrs. Oliver Ames, H. Cole gardener,
had a fine tank of hardy nympheeas
and other aquatics. C. W. Parker had
a display of Iris pallida Dalmatica.
James Crawshaw showed his new as-
paragus. F. ij. Ames estate, W. N.
Craig gardener, had a group of forty
Miltonia vexillaria. The best plant car-
ried eighty-five flowers and was awarded
a cultural certificate.

Business Meeting.

The annual meeting of the American
Peony Society was held on Friday after-
noon, June 15, with a fair attendance.
The usual reports were read by the
secretary, president and treasurer. The
latter 's report showed receipts $491.67,
expenses $135.93, balance $355.74; mem-
bership thirty-eight.

The following new members were
elected: J. F. Bosenfield, West Point,
Neb.; E. B. Heuges, Westfield, Mass.;
O. H. Dickinson, Springfield, Mass. ;
William Kline, A. L. Gould, Geo. B.
Petersen, Fair Lawn, N. J.; B. H. Farr,
Beading, Pa.

No papers or essays were read but
informal discussions took place on sev-
eral topics, in which Messrs. C. W.
Ward, C. S. Harrison, A. H. Fewkes,
E. A. Beeves, E. B. Hedges and others
took part. Mr. Coit, of Cornell, spoke
of the check list they are working on
at Cornell to cover all known named
varieties. This when completed will be
issued in bulletin form and will be one
of the most valuable publications for
peony specialists ever issued. Mr. Coit
has examined various libraries for all
literature pertaining to peonies and has
spent a great amount of time on his
work. The final catalogue will contain
a description of each variety from its
original introducers, also from the plant
as growing. All duplicates or synonyms
will also be given. A list of some 500
French sorts from Modeste Guerin,
Verdier, Mechim, Calot, Crousse, Lemoine
and Dessert, and about as many English
sorts from Kelway, in addition to the
American sorts will be given.

A question was asked as to the cause
of and a remedy for the blight or fun-

gus disease affecting peonies. This was
stated to be Botrytis vulgaris. No
remedy was suggested. C. S. Hanison
thought it did not affect the health of
the plants. A fungoid root disease, how-
ever, proves more harmful. For this a
change of land each year was recom-
mended. Mr. Harrison recommended the
leaving of the dying shoots of the
peonies over the crowns as a winter
mulch instead of cutting them away.

Some discussion took place over the
method which had been recommended of
earthing up the stems of peonies to make
them produce adventitious buds. The
general opinion of members seemed to
be that this method of propagation,
while it may produce a lot of plants
in a short time, will give plants lacking
in vitality and that many will be blind.
Several years will be necessary under
most favorable conditions to produce
strong plants. Present methods of
propagation are much to be preferred.

The vagaries of some varieties were
discussed. A certain sort would come
pink one year, white the next and in the
third or fourth year would become a
fixed color.

Election of officers resulted in the
selection of the old board unanimously,
as follows: President, C. W. Ward,
Queens, N. Y. ; vice-president, William
A. Peterson, Chicago; treasurer, J. H.
Humphreys, Germantown, Pa.; secre-
tary, A. H. Fewkes, Newton Highlands,
Mass.

Invitations for 1907 were received
from Norfolk, Va., and Ithaca, N. Y.
It was voted to meet at the latter place.

The Dinner.

The Gardeners' and Florists' Club of
Boston entertained visiting members of
the American Peony Society at a dinner
at the Quincy House on the afternoon
of June 15. About fifty sat down. At
the short post-prandial exercises Presi-
dent James Wheeler presided. He wel-
comed the Peony Society to Boston and
hoped to soon have the pleasure of its
company again.

C. W. Ward, on being called upon,
expressed the pleasure it always gave
him to come to Boston, where he was
always hospitably received. The Ameri-
can Peony Society came into existence
owing to the defective nomenclature
existing. It was an impossible thing
to send to any three prominent growers
for any peonies outside of a few well
known sorts, like Festiva maxima, and
expect to get the same article from
each. The probabilities were that each
would be of a different color. It was
impossible to buy hundreds of any one
sort and get any guarantee that they

were true to name. In his own business
he could have sometimes used 1,000 of
one color for mass effect, but where
could he obtain any such number and
get them true to name? It is a small,
unpretentious society, but trying to do
the square thing in getting the nomen-
clature down to a correct basis.

C. S. Harrison thought the society
stood for a little more than nomencla-
ture. It stood for the beauty of this
magnificent, hardy flower. He wished
the society would send out a pamphlet
telling people how to grow this beautiful
hardy plant, so that front yards may be
planted with them, rather than be de-
voted to such live stock as is. of ten now
the case.

After a few words from E. A. Beeves,
W. C. Barry said the exhibition was a
most creditable one. The peony is
worthy of the attention of the moat
refined people. Many European plants
are being constantly tried here and
proved to be failures. The peony
is peculiarly adapted for culture
in America and a magnificent fu-
ture is before it. The Peony Society is
doing a grand work and he hopes it
will go on and prosper.

The Visitors.

Some of the visitors were: W. C.
Barry, Eochester, N. Y. ; Mr. Coit, of
Cornell, Ithaca, N. Y.; C, S. Harrison,
York, Neb.; E. A. Reeves, Cleveland,
O.; Geo. C. Thomson, Alex. Wallace,
New York; C. Cropp, Chicago; C. W.
Ward, Queens, N. Y.; John Ash, Pom-
fret, Conn.; F. C. Green, Warwick, R.
1.; T. McCarthy, Providence, R. I.;
Prof. Saunders, Clinton, N. Y.; Geo. A.
Petersen, Fairlawn, N. J.; E. B. Hedges
and H. J. Miller, Westfield, Mass.;
James McPherson, Trenton, N. J. ; B.
H. Farr, Reading, Pa.

G>nvention Notes.

C. S. Harrison, the grand old man
of Nebraska, was one of the greatest en-
thusiasts at the meeting. He stated
that his peonies were in perfection for
Memorial day. From his batch of
50,000 seedlings he expects some good
things.

The show came too late for C. W.
Ward and he was unable to make a frac-
tion of the exhibit he had intended. He
hopes to do better at Ithaca in 1907.

That the peony is the most popular
of hardy flowering herbaceous plants
was attested by the crowds who visited
the show, scanned the exhibits and jotted
down names of those sorts which took
the'r fancy.

novelties, was a center of attraction.
Mr. Shaylor has spent a lot of money
on peonies and has one of the finest
collections in the country,

George Hollis put up a grand collec-
tion of seedlings, some of which are
destined to become popular commercial
sorts. His single Japanese sorts seemed
to be very popular with visitors.

The show was a little early for many
of T. C. Thurlow's best sorts, Newbury-
port being about a week later than Bos-
ton. Many of his choicest varieties will
no doubt be seen at the rose show on
June 22 and 23.

For a purely amateur exhibit James
McKissick. of West Newton, showed
splendidly, having the cream of the
English and French varieties.

The big china vase class is one worth "
perpetuating. AVe think, however, a
vase filled with one shade of color much
preferable to mixed ones.

Many wishes were expressed that the
Peony Society would soon elect to come
to Boston again. The flower it repre-
sents appeals to rich and poor alike,
for all can grow it, something which
cannot be said of roses, carnations and
chrysanthemums. W. N. Craig.

Report of tlie Secretary.

The present membership is thirty-
eight, not including two honorary mem-
bere.

Since the last meeting I have had
some correspondence with Prof. Whelzel,
of Ithaca, in regard to the fungus which
attacks the peony stems and leaves, and
specimens were sent him last fall. He
Js making a study of this disease and
expects to publish a report in regard to
it. Any facts or observations in con-
nection with this fungus that may have
been observed by any members or others

would be of value to him in this study
and would be appreciated by him.

The exhibition in connection with the
meeting at Chicago was held in one of
the large banquet halls of the Auditor-
ium hotel and was a very successful one,
doing great credit to all concerned. The
hall Mas well filled with exhibits, en-
tirely of a commercial nature, although
amateur classes were offered in the
schedule. There were several displays
other than peonies, including herbaceous
plants and Baby Rambler roses from
Vaughan 's Seed Store and a display of
pottery from the Ionia Pottery Co.

This show proved the practicability of
exhibiting flowers which have been
shipped from a distance and placed in
cold storage. While they are in no
way equal to freshly cut specimens, it
makes it possible to preserve early varie-
ties for late shows, thereby making the
exhibition more interesting. As nearly
every flower exhibited was named, it !
made a very instructive exhibition for i
the identification of varieties and in
many cases illustrated the confusion
existing in the nomenclature of the <
flower.

A feature which was entirely lacking
was the display of flowers grown es-
pecially for exhibition purposes. While !
this is perhaps a matter which usually
concerns the amateur, it is one which
should receive the attention of the com-
mercial grower as well. He would find
himself amply repaid by making a
plantation of a few specimen plants of
each of his varieties, giving them extra
attention in the way of feeding, water
and staking. Many of the flowers in
the Peterson collection approached the
excellence of bloom which is to be ob-
tained only in the above way, as well as
several flowers in the Ward displays.

The most remarkable single display

was made by E. A. Reeves, of Cleve-
land, 0., who exhibited 100 blooms of
the so-called Lee's Grandiflora rubra.
Although there was a question as to the
identity of this variety, there was none
as to its quality. The flowers were well
developed specimens borne on stems
fully four feet in length, with mag-
nificent foliage and immense, full double
blooms of a deep, rich crimson color.
A. H. Fewkes, Sec'y.

LADY ALEXANDRA DUFF.

In the year 1901 I sent to Kelway &
Son for five plants. They flowered only
imperfectly the following year, but I
was afraid on account of these imper-
fect flowers that they were wrong. I
immediately wrote them to send me five
more plants in my shipment of that
year. The next year, when the first five
were two years old, they produced flowers
of Festiva maxima. The second lot flow-
ered well in 1904 and I showed them at
the exhibition of the Massachusetts Hor-
ticultural Society, in June, and they
awarded me a first-class certificate for
them.

At the rose show of this same society
which followed the peony show in one
week, Messrs. T. C. Thurlow & Son
showed a peony under that name which
they had imported from Kelway & Son,
which I had on my grounds under two
names — one imported from Kelway &
Son in the year 1901 as Princess of
Wales, and another one as James Kel-
way, later. I also have had the same
peony from another grower in America
as the .Tames Kelway. At the last peony
show, William Whitman 's gardener, of
Brookline, Mass., showed a Duchesse de
Nemours (Calot) under the name of
Lady Alexandra Duff, imported direct
from Kelway & Son.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

June 21, 1906.

To sum it up, we have first Festiva
maxima, second, Grandiflora nivea, an
old variety of 1825 — for this is the sec-
ond variety which I received and which
was awarded the first-class certificate by
the Massachusetts Horticultural Society
in 190». Third, we have the one sent
Thurlow & Son, which I already had as
Princess of Wales and James Kelway.
Fourth we have the old variety of Duch-
esse de Nemours (Calot) which was sent
to Mr. Whitman.

Here are two old and choice varieties
taken from France and renamed, and
perhaps we will yet find that others
been given this name somewhere in
Europe.

I am led to the conclusion that there
is no such peony as Lady Alexandra
Duff, or Lady A. McDuff, as it was first
called. It has been, probably, a renam-
ing of an old French variety from the
very beginning. E. J. Shaylor.

BLACX SPOT ON ROSES.

I have young plants of roses, repotted
a few weks ago. They are growing very
nicely, but I have noticed that some
leaves get one or more dark brown spots
on them, causing them to turn yellow
and look bad. Will you please advise me
how to prevent the spread of the disease!

A. F.

This is a case of black spot, and as
the stock is yet in pots the condition can
be easily remedied. Pick off all affected
leaves and burn them; keep the plants
rather dry for a week and repot if neces-
sary.

Black spot is usually caused by some
condition which brings a sudden check
to root action, thus lowering the vitality
of the plants, such as overwatering dur-
ing cold, damp weather, when evapora-
tion is slow. The spots usually appear
just before firing is necessary to keep
up the temperature, or immediately after
firing is dropped in the spring. By judi-
cious care in firing, ventilating and
watering, these conditions can be avoided
and the following remedy will cause the

disease to disappear after a few applica-
tions, even where it has got a good hold:
Carbonate of copper, five ounces; am-
monia, three quarts; sixty gallons of
water; use a nozzle that will make a
fine spray and carefully wash both upper
and lower sides of the leaf. By re-
peating this treatment twice a week the
spots will disappear. Bibes.

BORDEAUX MIXTURE.

Will you kindly tell me the ingredients
and preparations required for making a
barrelful of Bordeaux mixture? Is it
considered good for thrips on roses, or
is there something better? E. B.

The formula for Bordeaux mixture is
as follows: Copper sulphate, two
pounds; fresh lime, unslaked, one and
one-half pounds; water, twenty gallons.

Here is the recipe as used at experi-
mental stations: Put six gallons of
water in a tub or barrel and hang in it
four pounds of pulverized copper sul-
phate in a burlap or other coarse sack.
Take water-slaked lime, adding water
only as "fast as it takes it up, and pour
together. Before using, dilute to forty
gallons.

Enough lime should be added to neu-
tralize the free acid; if this is not done
it will injure the foliage. To test this
get 5 cents' worth of ferro-cyanide of
potassium at a drug store and place in a
small bottle of water. Add a few drops
of this to the Bordeaux mixture before
it is diluted; if it turns it brown the
lime is deficient and more should be
added until the ferro-cyanide has no
effect. A slight excess of lime is gen-
erally desirable.

Bordeaux mixture, from all I can
learn, has little effect in destroying
thrips. For relief from this pest see last
week's issue of the Beview under the
heading of "Eoses, " page 216. It
gives directions for combatting thrips.

TO STIFFEN STEMS.

Will you please tell me if there is a
fertilizer, or anything, which I can put
in carnation beds to grow good stiff
stems to plants? Would air-slaked lime
be an improvement? H. G. F.

If your soil does not naturally grow
strong stems it is likely too light and
does not contain enough lime. Perhaps
you can find a soil that is heavier, which
will grow strong stems and large flowera

If you can find a natural soil that con-
tains these various elements in proper
proportion, it is better than any com-
bination you may mix.

I would not add lime to the compost,
but would prefer to add it after the
benches are filled and planted. Unless
you know from experience that this par-
ticular batch of soil will not grow strong
stems you had better wait and see what
kind of growth it will produce. It will
not take long to stiffen the stems after
you see it is needed.

Air-slaked lime is good to use for

that purpose, and when used properly it
is a benefit to the soil. We prefer,
however, to use hardwood ashes for that
particular purpose, as it seems more ef-
fective. Wood ashes is a good plant
food on account of the large percentage
of potash it contains, and when it is
used judiciously it is a great help dur-
ing the flowering season. The time to
apply the first dose is in the fall, just
about the time the first crop of buds is
showing. It will stiffen the stems and
help develop the blooms. If the stems
do not stiffen sufficiently from this first
dose another may be given in four to
six weeks. Trouble over weak stems
does not appear, however, usually before
early winter, and if you give the first
application about October 1 and the next
one between November 15 and December
1 you will be likely to see the plants re-
spond nicely to the treatment.

Care should be taken not to use wood
ashes too strong. They vary a great deal
in strength and in using them it pays
to keep on the safe side until you know
just what you have. We use about a
scant 3-inch potful to go halfway across
a 5-foot bench to each row of plants.
We find this quite suflacient, although
some growers recommend much heavier
applications. Do not apply it too often,
as too much will harm your crop, espe-
cially during midwinter, when feeding
should be light. Some varieties will re-
spond to the effects of wood ashes much
quicker man others, as you will soon
find. If you use too much of it you will
find many varieties produce very brittle
stems, so that in handling them they will
snap off at the joints easily.

It is understood, of course, that your
plants are to be well established and
strong when you do feeding of any kind.
Then only are they in condition to take
up what you give them.

MANNHEIM EXPOSITION.

1 would respectfully advise that be-
ginning May 1, 1907, and closing with
October of the same year, the city of
Mannheim, Germany, will hold an in-
ternational horticultural and art exposi-
tion to commemorate the three hundredth
anniversary of the advancement of
Mannheim to the rank of a city. The
town has upwards of 165,000 population,
not counting LudWigshafen on the other
side of the Rhine, and is one of the
principal manufacturing and commercial
centers of the empire.

It is expected to make the exposition
first-class in every respect and to give
special emphasis to landscape gardening
and to all branches of fruit and floricul-
tiire. Grounds selected include one of
the handsomest city parks and are well
adapted for the purpose. Much work

has already been done on the exposition
grounds. Our manufacturers of garden-
ing appliances, seeds, etc., may fiiid
something in the exposition of interest
to them.

Any inquiries directed to this con-
sulate will be passed to the proper au-
thorities, or they can be directed to

ANEMONE CORONARIA THE BRIDE.

Where quantities of white flowers are
needed for cutting in early spring, this
is one of the best plants for florists
to grow. The roots should be planted
very shallow, preferably in flats four
to five inches deep, as soon as received,
and kept in a cold frame until well
leaved, when they may be removed to a
cool greenhouse* and given a light, airy
position. Unless very early flowers are
needed it is a good plan to allow them
to remain in the frames all winter. A
good freezing will not harm them in the
least. If the flats can be stood over
a spent hotbed where the roots can
push through, it is simply astonishing
the quantity and quality of flowers
which will be produced. The last sea-
son we picked stems eighteen inches long
from plants grown in this way and the
picking season lasted over a month.

As cut flowers they cannot be too
highly commended. We find they outlast
carnations and, as they bloom in March
and April they make a pleasant change
from the ubiquitous carnation. They
will not stand strong fumigation and
should not be watered with any force
from the hose, as it knocks the foliage
and spike down and they do not
straighten readily. The brilliant anemone
succeeds well under the same treatment.

SEASONABLE NOTES.

There is yet time to put in cuttings of
late varieties to be used for late plant-
ings, but it is about the hardest time of
year to get them to root, as the heat
dries up the sap in the cuttings so
quickly. A moist atmosphere, heavy
shade and continual spraying are neces-
sary, and with all precautions the man
who roots fifty per cent is doing pretty
well at this time of year. Varieties that
are naturally late are best to use for late
planting. Chadwick, Yellow Chadwick,
Mrs. Swinburne, Jeanne Nonin and Mrs.
Geo. Beeeh being all excellent late kinds.

Just as soon as the benches can be
filled, the main crop should now be
planted, if not already done, as every
day that the young stock is neglected
means so much less in the net results.

Every year this question is asked me
in one form or another : * * What is the
nearest one can plant to make the most
money from a bench of a given length?"
If one has a market for extra special
blooms 8x10 inches is not too much space
to allow for each single-stemmed plant,
and with some heavy-foliaged varieties
even more is better. These flowers
should bring the grower half a dolhir
each, and if your market will not stand
for that price, you might run two stems
to each plant instead of one and figure
on $3 per dozen as your selling price.
Personally, I believe that there are many
towns in this country where the ' local
florist could make twice as much money
on his chrysanthemum crop as he now
does make if he grew at least a part of
his crop to the highest possible quality,
instead of trying to make every plant
produce sa many flowers as possible and
trusting to providence to provide him
with enough funeral work to use them up.

The florist himself is often to blame
for the price he gets for his flowers.
Without any but the most vague idea
of the cost of producing a crop, he looks
on the mum as a space-filler for summer
and figures on the winter crop to make
his money. Good chrysanthemums are
almost as easily grown as poor ones,

and there is a whole lot more satisfac-
tion in marketing the product. If a
florist has the reputation of growing the
best stock in town it will naturally fol-
low that he will pick up the best trade,
since well-grown stock in any line is the
best advertisement a man can have; and
when one is catering to a high-class
trade better prices follow as a natural
consequence.

Gluts and low prices always occur in
the chrysanthemum season in the large
cities, but that condition should not
necessarily apply in thousands of
smaller towns that boast of one or per-
haps two florists' establishments. There
the population is steady and demand
even, while in large cities the demand
fluctuates with the incoming or outgoing
of large masses of people. Again, the
larger city is used as a dumping ground
by local growers when home trade is
slack, the natural consequence being
that the market gets demoralized.

One often hears in the fall that ' ' there
are too many chrysanthemums grown." I
would amend by saying that there are
too many poor chrysanthemums grown.
Often when I have looked over a batch

of pooi white and pink Pacific, compet-
ing for a buyer with fine late asters, I
could not blame the buyer for preferring
the asters. Yet, if the former had been
well grown, there should be no compari-
son between the two. The mum is here
to stay, no question about that. Nothing
will ever supplant it in its season, and
I think if the mum growers had kept
everlastingly at it, as the carnation men
have, in improving the quality of the
flowers, it could be made a much more
lucrative business.

Charles H. Totty.

PINCHING BAOt \

] have several hundred mums potted
into 3%-inch and pinched back. Most
of them have made three nice shoots.
I like to have three flowers on a plant.
Must I again pinch these shoots back,
or can I leave them? How late can I
pinch back chrysanthemums to get a
good seasonable crop? A. F.

It is not necessary to pinch the plants
back any more if you have three shoots
on each plant and only figure on taking
three flowers from each plant, as each
shoot will produce a flower, barring acci-
dents. I would not advise you to pinch
any more now, as unless the plants are
very tall, they will not run on an average
over three to foai^ feet high and one
needs a reasonable length of stem. If
plants are tall and thin, they can be
pinched once more, solely with the idea
of reducing the height at flowering time,
but if they are in good shape, dwarf and
sturdy, I would say, do not pinch any
more. C, H. T.

SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS.

Now the summer flowers are coming
on, pretty groups can be arranged for
the store in new effects. Have a yellow
corner for a change. Choose yellow
greens like Boston ferns and Sprengeri
for foliage, and snapdragons in yellow,
white and bronze in a generous basket-

ful with a full rosette of yellow gauze.
At a respectful distance introduce a
vase or bowl of Coreopsis lanceolata
among a mass of foliage. A lower place
will suggest itself as convenient for a
fernery containing yellow pansies, or
bright salmon sweet peas softened with
white. Off at a distance use your full
blown Chatenay and Kaiserin in a tall
handled basket in close proximity to the
red and rose-colored sweet peas.
Lavender peas with white are much im-
proved by the introduction of a delicate
warm pink in small touches.

An interesting group of Crimson
Rambler plants may be arranged some-
thing like this: Set one good tall speci-
men on a flat stand well up. Group other
plants of the same size around it on the
floor in a circular shape. Make several
groups of its kind at convenient dis-
tances apart and fence in the whole dis-
play with smaller plants of the same or
of Baby Ramblers arranged to resemble
a hedge.

A fine specimen of palm or fern may
be mounted in the same way and banked
around by several vases of one kind of
flowers from the floor up.

Daisies, to be most effective, should
be massed, and massed, and then some,
without very much additional foliage.

Peony M. BarraL

As to soil, I would say ferns are thO'
least particular of any plant. Osmunda
regalis is found growing in a wet bog,.
while Pteris aquilina is at home in a
stiff clay. The most successful adiantum
grower in the country uses the same soili
that he does for his rose beds, a yellow
loam sod well decomposed, with a fourtlv
or fifth of cow manure not too much de-
cayed. If it is adiantum you want to
grow for the fronds, then sprinkle plenty
of air-slaked lime on the soil between
the plants and on the crowns of th.e>
plants where the slugs hibernate.

W. S.

Have them in water if possible. They
are frail out of water, but last for days
if in water.

At a chapel decoration for a daylight
wedding the windows on either side of
the altar were raised slightly so as to
show glimpses of palms and Easter lilies,
supposedly visible from a garden beyond.
No palms or plants were used in the
decorations about the altar, only cut
greens and flowers. White and green
was the color scheme, Kaiserin roses
being the sole flowers, arranged in two
large sized French baskets with long gar-
lands of roses and asparagus, hanging
downward and draped back to a
groundwork of asparagus over white
cheese-cloth. Gertrude Blair.

FERNS VITH OTHER PLANTS.

Can ferns be grown successfully in the
same house with a general line of bed-
ding plants! If so, what soil is best?
Anything else regarding their care to help
a beginner in their culture will be thank-
fully received. S. C. C.

There is not the slightest reason why
ferns of almost all species cannot be
grown with flowering plants. Specialists
who grow the adiantum do a little bet-
ter with houses devoted entirely to them,
because thej do not like tobacco smoke
or any strong insecticide.

The great majority of the ferns we
grow commercially are natives of the
tropics, Although we do not always treat
them as such. The nephrolepis, the most
useful of all ferns, will grow anywhere
and so will all strong-growing species'
Broadly, I would say ferns like^cooi
bottom and a warm atmospher^ The
A. cuneatum type does best on a bench
with no heat under it, but should have
bO to 60 degrees of temperature.

I have many times spoken of the folly

of keeping little ferns in 2-inch or 3-inch
pots on a bench that has a lot of steam
or hot-water pipes beneath it. The roots
quickly dry out and the little ferns
shrivel up. If pipes are beneath your
bench, which is so beneficial for the ma-
jority of bedding plants, put on two
inches of sifted coal ashes for ferns.

A WIDE, FLAT HOUSE.

I am going to build a house 43x54
feet, but before doing so would like to
have your advice. I have two houses now
and intend to build another one 43x54
feet. The ground slopes seven feet in the
fifty-four feet. If I build the house ten
feet above the grouad at the upper side
and the lower end eight feet, which
makes a slope of two feet, then add the
slope of the ground, seven feet, making
nine feet slope altogther on the fifty-
four feet or length of the house, do yon
think I would have enough fall in the
roof to give satisfaction? I thought at
first I would build three houses on the
short-roof plan, but if a house with a
slant roof will do I can save money in its
construction. I intend to raise carna-
tions and bedding plants in this house.
The house runs east and west and gets
full sun from morning to night. Do yon
think a house like this would get too
hot in summer? G. J. L.

I think. your house fifty-four feet wide
would be dark in winter and snow and
ice would lodge there. It would also
be very hot in summer and difiScult to
adequately ventilate. It would be much
better to build two houses each twenty-
two feet on two different ground levels;
then the south house would not in the

least shade the house to the north. Don't
make the bars of unequal length, but
make them of equal span. The prin-
cipal thing to observe is to have a very
substantial and water tight gutter be-
tween the houses. W. S.

BONE MEAL.

How much bone flour should I use in
a solid bed for carnations, 6x80 feet
in size, and one foot deep, in soil that
was one-third cow manure last year?

M. M. W.

If you use bone flour, i. e., finely
ground steamed animal bone, it will be
safe to use 100 pounds on the bench
6x80. If the bone is superphosphate,
i. e., bone treated with sulphuric acid to
make the phosphoric acid more available,
fifty pounds is probably as heavy an
application as would be safe.

L. C. C.

ECHEVEEIAS.

I intend growing some echeverias for
next spring and would like to know the
best way to get a start. How can they
be propagated and would it be best to
get plants now and propagate in fallf
Which are the best kinds to growt

W. A. S.

"With the exception of the variety E.
eecunda glauca the echeverias are not so
generally grown as they were ten years
ago, but for the florist the above kind is
indispensable for carpet bedding. The
taller growing sorts are increased by cut-
tings. Metallica makes a fine plant for
the conservattory or the center of a car-
pet bed and retusa is a pretty flowering
{)lant for early winter. They should be
ifted before severe frost. After flow-
ering the tops should be cut off and the
old plants kept in a warm, dry place,
•when small growths will start from the
stems. These, when large enough, can
be removed and put into flats of dry
sand and when they have made a few
roots potted into 2-inch or 2 1^ -inch pots.
The low growing, stemless species,
such as secunda glauca, Californica, Pea-
cockii, rosea and others, if planted out
make a number of shoots, little minia-
ture plants, often called hen and chick-
ens, and in lifting in the fall these are
removed and planted in shallow flats of
sandy soil and placed in some cool, dry

house. Very little if any water is need-
ed during winter and any drip on the
plants should be avoided.

In lifting them in October it is well
to sort them into different sizes, placing
the old plants in one flat and the next
size in another flat and so on. This is
economy of space. We notice that our
park department wintered many thou-
sands of secunda glauca in deep cold
frames, protected with mats. They re-
ceived no water at all during winter
and came through in fine shape.

To get up a stock of these bedding
echeverias buy what strong plants you
can and plant out at once. You will get
a lot of shoots in the fall, and, if de-
sirous of getting up a large stock, you
can propagate by the leaves. Lift the
plants in October and box in dry, sandy
soil. A month or two later carefully
twist the leaves from the stems, a few
from each. There is a latent bud at the
axil of the leaf anu if that is not re-

moved with the leaf you will get no
plant. Put two inches of sand in a 4-
inch pot and place the leaves around the
edge of the pot, each with the base only
deep enough to keep it upright. Give
no water until the roots appear. When
the little plants are formed and large
enough to handle, place them in flats of
sandy soil and be careful not to over-
water. These little plants can be kept
warmer during winter than the larger
and older plants, because you want them
to increase in size, while with the older
bedding size you only want to keep them
dormant. W. S.

The Market

While conditions are a little better
than a week ago, the market remains
erratic. School graduations this week
are taking considerable material and
the fact that indoor roses are becoming
scarce and that some carnation growers
are now throwing out their plants will
relieve the congestion. Indoor roses are
moderately scarce. Beauties are not in
much request, the best make $15 to $20
per hundred. Some nice Kaiserin and

Qub Field Day.

The plan of holding a field day and
club meeting on the same day proved
very successful. The attendance on
June 19, when the estates of Larz Ander-
son and Mrs. W. C. Brandegee were
visited, was the largest the club has
yet had at any similar outing. A num-
ber of ladies were included in the party,
and several visitors from a distance.

At the Larz Anderson estate
the Italian garden commanded the
greatest attention. This is admitted
to be the best of its class in
America and the planting is not
of that miserable carpet-bed-like style
which disfigures so many similar gardens.
Here at present Canterbury bells
rockets, sweet Williams, aquilegias!
digitalis, peonies, etc., in big beds make
a gorgeous show, while tuberous be-
gonias, Nicotiana Sanderae, salvias and
other tender plants are used. Every bed
IS well blossomed all summer long, for

planted to succeed it is in flower, ^he
collection of rambler roses around the
sides will be very beautiful in a few
oays. The specimen bays and boxes here
are very fine. Great (^^edit is due Mr

Anderson and his skilful head gardener,
Duncan Finlayson, for the originating
of and planting of this garden.

In addition to the Italian garden the
lawns, shrubberies, kitchep garden, etc.,
were inspected. All looked beautifully
fresh and green after the recent copious
rains. In the greenhouses carnations,
roses, etc., were in grand shape. Several
divisions of grapes and nectarines were
carrying heavy crops of good fruit.
Good batches of gloxinias, achimines,
tuberous begonias, gardenias, orchids,
etc., were noted and admired. Every-
thing is clean and well grown and
shows that a skilled hand is at the head
of affairs. Befreshments were served
by Mrs. Finlayson before the party left
and a few short speeches made, ending
in cheers for the generous hosts.

At Faulkner Farm, the extensive estate
of Mrs. W. C. Brandegee, over which
David Weir is superintendent, the
sweeps of well Kept lawns, shrubberies
and perennial flowering plants were ad-
mired. Rhododendrons were on the wane
but kalmias were at their best, as were
the hybrid perpetual roses. The fine
Italian garden is well planted and very
attractive. Some of the finest bay trees
in the country are used in it. In the
greenhouses good batches of orchids,
palms, ferns, pelargoniums and other
plants were seen. Everything on the
estate, including the farm department,
over which Mr. Weir also has charge,
is in excellent condition. Before de-
parting President Wheeler thanked Mr.
Weir and Mrs. Brandegee, in behalf of
the club, for the pleasant outing enjoyed
and courtesies extended.

On arriving at Horticultural hall re-
freshments of ice cream, cake, straw-
berries, etc., were served before the regu-
lar club meeting opened, about 100
ladies and gentlemen being in attend-
ance. There was considerable discussion
over the place for the club's picnic,
Caledonian Grove, West Roxbury, being
most favored. Date §nd other details
were left to th^ oommitftd' and will be
announced later. Several new members
were elected.

Short addresses were made "by C W
^^i£'./? peonies; by S. S. SkideW
of Philadelphia, and J. W. Rodgers, park
superintendent at Cincinnati, who is
gathering ideas in the east.

Awards included a report of superior
merit to Mount Desert Nurseries for
eremurei; a report of merit to Charles
Sander for Egan rose, and to James
Crawshaw for his new asparagus. An
award was also given for a new helio-
trope.

An invitation was received to hold the
next field day with Wm. Sim, Clifton-
dale.

In lieu of a regular lecture there was
a general discussion on seasonable
topics and some queries from the ques-
tion box were answered. Coming so
soon after the peony show, there were
not so many exhibits as usual. It was
quite late before the meeting terminated,
all present voting that the day had been
a delightful and profitable one.

Various Notes.

W. Atlee Burpee, of Philadelphia;
Robert Scott, Sharon, Pa., and Hugh
Dickson, the well known rosarian, of
Belfast, Ireland, formed an interesting
little party of visitors the past week.

Hugh L. Cameron will sail on the
Ivernia on July 10 and will meet Mrs.
Cameron, who sailed June 12 on the
same boat, in Scotland, for a two
months' tour.

A very large number of out-of-town
gardeners and florists visited the peony
show and nearly all took down names of
desirable sorts.*

The annual show of hardy roses, straw-
berries and other seasonable fruits,
flowers and vegetables occurs June 22
and 23. The recent copious rains have
benefited roses wonderfully, but the dates
selected are a few days too late for the
immediate vicinity of Boston.

A rigorous fight is now being made
against the gypsy and brown tail moths
in this section. Superintendent A. H.
Kirkland, who has charge of the work
of suppression for the state of Massa-
cuusetts, says the damage done this June
is no greater than in 1905 and thinks
that the war waged has begun to tell.
Let us hope 'tis true.

Carnations are making splendid
growth in the fields at present, thanks
to recent soaking rains. Cutworms con-

AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY.

The executive committee of the Ameri-
can Rose Society met in New York city,
Thursday, June 14. President Alexander
Montgomery being unable to be present,
Vice-President Eobert Simpson occupied
the chair. The others present were
Treasurer Harry O. May, Secretary Wm.
J. Stewart, Messrs. F. B. Pierson, A.
Farenwald, H. A. Siebrecht, W. A, Man-
da and Peter Bisset.

The question of the location for the
next meeting and exhibition of the so-
ciety, which had been left to the commit-
tee to decide, was discussed at much
h;ngth. An official invitation from the
Washington Florists' Club was read by
the secretary and the eligibility of sev-
eral other cities was discussed infor-

mally, the result being a unanimous vote
in favor of "Washington, D. C. "Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday, March 13, 14,
15, 1907, were selected as the dates for
the annual meeting and exhibition.

President-elect Robert Simpson was
authorized to appoint a committee with
power to prepare a schedule and the ex-
hibition rules were revised so that all
exhibitors not members of the society
shall pay an entrance fee of $3, same to
be applied as membership initiation fee.

Mr. Bisset, representing the "Washing-
ton Florists' Club, as its president, in-
formed the committee that it is the in-
tention of that organization to give a
general horticultural exhibition in con-

manufacturing as far back as 1849 to
1854 sashes for the construction of
greenhouses. Sashbars were not made at
that time and greenhouses were very
scarce, all of them being buijt with
sashes. Some of these sash houses are
standing today. One house built with
sashes for which Mr. Moninger furnished
the material is now being used at Dea
Plaines, 111., over 45 years old. Geo.
W. Miller and George "Wittbold were
two of the first customers for
greenhouse sashes, and other gardeners
and florists in the vicinity of Chicago
built with his material shortly after-
wards.

iMr. Moninger early recognized the

m^

Frank G Moninger.

nection with the American Rose Soci-
ety's show. Arrangements were then
made, subject to ratification by the
"Washington Florists' Club, for a joint
schedule and joint participation in the
net profits, if any, after the expenses of
the exhibition have been pai(i.

"Wm. J. Stewart, Sec'y.

OBITUARY.

Frank C. Moninger.

Frank C. Moninger, one of the first
men to manufacture greenhouse con-
struction material in the west, passed
away June 16, at his home at Chicago,
at the age of 85 years. He was the
father of Lena and Lambert Moninger,
and the late John C. Moninger.

Mr.' Moninger -nas'born in Germany
in 1821 and' came to this country when
a boy, settling in his early youth in Chi-
cago. He was identified from the start
with the interests of the truck gardeners
and florists located north of the city,
in what is now High Ridge, Rogers
Park, Bowmanville and Edgewater,

fact that the increasing demand
for better material and lighter con-
struction would mean the specializing of
the work, with which thought in mind
he formed a partnership with the late
John L. Diez, making at that time, in
1869, the first sashbars for greenhouses
manufactured in Chicago. These eash-
bars were furnished Geo. "W. Miller. The
business flourished under his guidance
and when finally succeeded by the son,
John C. Moninger, nearly every florist
in or around Chicago had been a cus-
tomer for his material. The present
firm of John C. Moninger Co. is the re-
sult of the start made by Frank C.
Moninger and the manufacture of ma-
terial has now been brought to a state
of perfection and the business developed
to an extent beyond the most sanguine
expectations of the founder of the busi-
ness.

AMERICAN BEAUTIES

Our Beauties are easily the best in this market and we
believe it will be difficult to find their equal anywhere in the
United States in this warm weather. They are in every way
as good as our fEfc^mous crop last summer— and most Beauty
buyers know what that means. Mostly long stems.

PEONIES— We handle the best stock in town— choicest varieties,
cut right, bunched right, handled right— in any quantity.
Will have them all through June.

KAISERINS — The Kaiserin is the only really good summer rose.
We have them in 1 arge quantity— fine stock in every respect.

supply of CARNATIONS.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

Business continued quiet throughout
last week. Stock in all departments was
equal to the demand, althouigh in
Beauties, Brides and Maids it waa not
always possible to fill orders with tbe
grade of stock desired. Carnatioxis con-
tinued in very large supply and tihere is
record of sales at as low as 2 cents
per bunch, where the buyer was "willing
to clean up accumulated job lots. Side-
walk salesmen outside the loop tlistrict
were doing a thriving business on Sat-
urday with carnations at 5 cents a. dozen.
Of course, the stock waa such as would
not have passed muster in any flower
store.

This week opened with a much better
tone. Supplies in all departmea ts are
much less than in the last for-tnight.
This is especially true of roses, for all
the growers who have not replanted are
busy at this annual task. Beauties are
especially scarce and selling at good
prices. The fact that many buy&rs are
unable to get Beauties of the grade
they need is making a good market for
long-stemmed Liberty, of which one or
two growers have very good cuts. Bride
and Bridesmaid are still seen ir» con-
siderable quantity, but most of the stock
is very poor. Much grading is requix-ed to
get out an order for 100 Maids and when
a house has call for several hundreds it
18 no small task to find enough tha.t will
pass inspection. Kaiserin is received
in considerable quantity and sells fast.
Those firms which have houses of roses
grown especially for summer cuttiag are
enjoying very brisk demand. ''

The low prices which carnations have
realized the last fortnight have resulted
in many growers throwing out their
stock and receipts are lighter. Much of
the stock is of exceedingly poor quality
and will not do for shipment, or in fact
for any store use. The result is that
good carnations have stiffened in price
and the market is on a much more satis-
factory basis than a vreek ago.

Those houses which hold large stocks
of peonies in cold storage are well
pleased with the situation. It had been
feared that there vpould be a poor
market for peonies this year, but such
has not been the case at any time except
when the cuts were at their height.
Good peonies are bringing first-class
prices. There is some complaint that
the stored stock is dropping quickly
when brought from the cooler, but most
of the poor stock has been closed out.
A big business is being done in peonies
because of the low quality of roses and
carnations. It looks as though all the
stock would clean up at profitable prices.

Calla lilies are gone. There are not
so many longiflorums as a few weeks
ago, but still enough for all require-
ments. Auratum is abundant. Gladioli
are seen in many houses but are slow
sale. Sweet peas are again of better
quality an<J, selling well. Cape jasmine
lasted longer than usual this year, but
has at length passed in its checks. Pond
lilies are abundant and of fine quality.

There are only moderate supplies of
green goods. Asparagus strings are
scarce, but there is enough smilax. Com-
mon ferns are again to be had in
quantity.

Cost of Greenhouses.

L. Coatsworth has been figuring up
the cost of the three houses, each
27%x300, added this spring to the estab-
lishment of the Benthey-Coatsworth Co.,
at New Castle. He finds that they cost
a penny or two more than $10 per run-
ning foot. It is a cheaper price than
he has previously paid and he thinks
the houses are the oest ever built at their
place. The cost includes material and
erection, also piping and an eighty-five
horse-power steam boiler from the Frost
Mfg. Co., Galesburg, equipped with a
Martin rocking grate. Two of the Frost
boilers have been in operation ever since
the Benthey-Coatsworth Co. built its
first houses and have given excellent
satisfaction.

One on Bohanon.

There is a woman of advanced years,
well known to the wholesalers, who is
a frequent visitor begging flowers. When
refused she turns loose a storm of
vituperative wrath which is something
to marvel at. Occasionally she visits
a retail store. One day she asked a
donation from Lovelace R. Bohanon, be-
fore he located on North State straM.
Mr. Bohanon declined with thanks and
the beggar did her best to express her
opinion of him. As she was going out
the door she met a lady just entering.
"Don't go in there," she said, "that
man insulted me." It was Mrs.
Bohanon 1 Last Sunday morning Mr.
Bohanon happened into the Flower
Growers' Market just as the woman was
telling Percy Jones what she thought of
him for not giving her stock, and the
story came out.

Growers' Expressage.

C. L. Washburn, commenting on the
action of the United States Express Co.
in raising charges to the New Jersey rose
growers, stated that in the week of June
3 to 9 Bassett & Washburn paid the
Adams Express Co. $175 for bringing
stock in from Hinsdale. This was ex-
clusive of the charge for the return of
empties. It.yras, of course, a sum above
the normal, for it included peony ship-
ments and was a week of large cuts
in all departments, but it shows what an
important item express charges are to
the grower and what a hole it would
cut in the profits if the tariff were raised
even a small percentage.

Qub Meeting.

In the absence of President Haus-
wirth and Vice-president L/eonard Kill,
James Hartshorne presided at the Flor-
ists' Club's meeting June 14. Plans for
the picnic afforded the principal topic
of discussion. A telegram was read by
the secretary in which President Haus-
wirth, now in California, suggested that
the chairman appoint a committee on
transportation to the Dayton convention.
He suggested George Asmus, W. N.
Rudd or J. C. Vaughan. On motion, the
chairman appointed the committee of
three.

Various Notes.

C. H. Grant, a skilful flower worker
and former employe of well-known New
York retailers, arrived in town recently
and is domiciled, with his wife, at 542
North Clark street. No sooner had they
reached town than Mrs. Grant lost her
handbag, containing practically all the
money they possessed. Mr. Grant then
took a temporary job at Marshall Field's
and the second day had a toe crushed
in an elevator. He is now laid up on
half pay.

Julius Eistow is planting his entire
place to carnations for next season. Last
year it was two-tnirds roses.

At E. F. Winterson's they are still
receiving a large cut of peonies. They
come from Lake City^ Minn., and the
force spent Sunday in rebunching them.

Peter Eeinberg has planted 7,000 of
the new rose, Mrs. Marshall Field. They
are beginning to cut from the young
stock and find the demand very good
for this variety.

An attraction in John Mangel's win-
dow this week is live rabbits and ducks.

They keep a crowd before the window
all day long.

C. M. Dickinson, manager of E. H.
Hunt's, has been confined to his home
since last Thursday with an attack of
tonsilitis, to wliicn he is no stranger.

N. J. Wietor and John Sinner leave
June 26 for a fortnight's fishing in the
vicinity of Tomahawk Lake, Wis. Mr.
Sinner is getting in training by going
to the greenhouses each day, as soon as
he has sold out on the Market floor, and
spending the afternoons cultivating
carnations.

A. L. Eandall spent Saturday and
Sunday at his fruit farm in Michigan.
He says he expects to harvest 400
bushels of peaches this year as against
3,0j0 bushels last season. Farther back
from the lake the crop will be better.
Mr. Eandall 's daughter, Miss Grace,
will graduate June 22 from the Grand
Conservatory of Music, on Forty-sixth
street, and has been awarded one of
four medals offered for meritorious
;work in,, that institution.

The Mirket.

Summer is long delayed. Drought, fol-
lowed by the regular Sunday cyclonic
rain storm and the after humidity, fog
and chilly nights, so far have character-
ized the month of roses. A hot spell of
any duration has not yet materialized,
and on Thursday the days begin to
shorten again and Thanksgiving and
Christmas will loom up not far away.
Before we realize it we will be at Day-
ton and just two short months away is
the convention of the S. A. F.

The worst days in the wholesale cut
flower section have probably been real-
ized in the last two weeks. It is hard
to conceive how even in the hottest days
of August there can be greater sacrifices,
or worse stagnation. Tiast week was ex-
ceptionally bad. The present is expected
to show some improvement and next
week, with its many school commence-
ments and its final June weddings, ought
to be the best week of June. The crop
of weddings progresses most encourag-
ingly. The retailer is certainly having

what he has oeen able to do with
Beauties in the past two winter seasons
and contemplated planting his place to
Brides and Maids, but the splendid re-
sults which have been achieved with his
spring and summer crops in both years
have caused him to reconsider and he
will continue growing Beauties, much
to E. C. Amling's satisfaction.

George Eeinberg has enjoyed a very
big business in rose plants this spring.
He has had excellent success in propa-
gating, especially with Beauties. One
sale this week waa of 10,000 Beauty
plants, but he had 18,000 ready at the
time.

C. W. McKellar says that the demand
for orchids was a little slack last week
but that he has a good run of orders
booked for this week and a prospect
Of fine business for the rest of the

George Harrer, president of the village

his innings. He has little to complain
of. The steamer trade is enormous.
Many orders come from distant cities
and the list of reliable retail stores
serves an excellent and convenient pur-
pose, our bon ton artists having many
an order from their brethren in the south
and west.

Outdoor blossoming is in all its glory.
The ramblers especially make a glorious
exhibit around every suburban home.
The cut bloom is also abundant and is
heavily used in decorations. The ship-
ments of up-state peonies did not mate-
rialize. The great storm of a week ago
completed the devastation wrought by
the late frost. One firm with 40,000
plants and an expected shipment of over
100,000 blossoms did not send a single
flower. The loss was complete. Some
of the nurserymen around Geneva and
Newark and in other sections of west-
ern New York suffered losses amounting
to many thousands of dollars. What few
peonies now reach the market are of
only medium quality and this week will
see the last of them. Boses are sold by
the hoxi^ seldom unpacked, and a good
aalC; so-called, on Monday, was 2,000

Maids and Brides, as they ran, for $4,
or, to be more explicit, 20 cents per
hundred. Carnations fared quite as
badly and prices at times were unmen-
tionable. There is a tremendous lot of
mildew on the roses.

A great many lilies are coming to the
market, some very fine ones from John
Scott that bring top prices, though the
top is not "out of sight" by any means.

Orchi<ls are very abundant and the-jj
weddings are being made rich and ele-
gant displays through their instrumen-
tality. Sweet peas realized the best
prices of the year last week. This week
they arrive more freely and values have
retreated. Rudolph Fischer has been
sending some grand stock daily to Kess-
ler. Abundance is blooming as freely
as ever. There seems to be no resting
spell foj;, this wonderful carnation. But
it will be thrown out shortly to give room
for Purity f reesia. One hundred and
fifty thousand bulbs of this wonderful
discovery of Mr. Fischer's will be sent
out this season. Already the bulk of the
stock of this great acquisition has been
ordered. Mr, Fischer has lately added
to his property a fine block of several

acres in the heart of the Great Neck
residence section.

Varioui Notes.

Mr. Matthews, of Great Neck, will
start in a few days on an ocean voyage
to Scotland.

The summer exhibition at the New
York Botanic Garden last week was
poorly attended and the exhibits were
few in number. F. R. Pierson Co., Sie-
brecht & Son and Julius Roehrs Co. were
the principal exhibitors. The roses were
a creditable selection. Few irises, peon-
ies or vegetables were staged. The lec-
ture by Mr. Powell deserved an audience
of a hundred instead of a single dozen.
The Bronx conservatories contributed
some splendid cacti. Geo. Skene was in
charge, as usual, for the Botanic Gar-
den. There were good collections of
herbaceous perennials.

The Hinode Florist Co., of White-
stone, has just received a fine shipment
of kentias selected by Mr. Dimmock, the
Yokohama Nursery Co.'s English repre-
sentative. This firm has added about
15,000 square feet of glass to its plant

Bui'ling is jiroprcssing rai)i(lly in every
direction. The output next year from
within fifty miles of New York will be
at least twenty-five per cent in excess
of 190O-190G. Of buikiing greenhouses,
a.s of making books, there seems to be
no end. If [)rosperity waves do not con-
tinue to roll in there will be some disap-
pointed builders before another June.

This week will end the auction busi-
ness. It has been a good year for these
knights of the rostrum.

A new firm is projected for next year,
with Geo. Lorenz as its promoter. The
^'f", in rt^al estate and the auction of
\Vednesday ought to make another auc-
tion venture in the city safe. The field
lias enlarged tremendously since May.
^ome days there have been more bidders
than stock. The transients and the sub-
urbanites have awakened to their oppor-
tunity. ^^

The trade in several of its branches
»as tiie .Tune fever and weddings have

been and are to be. Some of the young-
er wholesalers contemplate the plunge
into the unknown. Mr. Johnston, of the
Johnston Heating Co., was married on
.Tune 14. Still another greenhouse man
is close to the edge of the sea, and some
cut flower merchants are about ready for
the launching. Dame Rumor has had
one of them "jined" for months. Still
a few old bachelors remain, especially on
Twenty-eighth street, who are as immov-
able as Niagara and as silent as the
sphynx.

Arthur Newell and wife and Samuel
Murray, of Kansas City, have been with
us for some days, on their way home
from Boston, enjoying the sights of this
great city and visiting their brother
liorLsts, gathering suggestions for later
illustration in their progressive town.
Both were loud in praise of everything
Bostonese.

Very few local florists visited the Bos-
ton peony exhibit. The Cottage Gardens

sent a fine lot of blooms to the society
last week.

Xext Thursday the popular cut flower
ex|»ressman, M. J. Tierney, will be mar- ■
ried and a European wedding trip is con-
templated. The wholesale boys are plan-
ning an appropriate send-off with floral
accompaniments.

The outing grows daily in interest. A
week from Monday leaves but little time
for complete preparation. Tickets
should be purchased in advance to facili-
tate the committee 's arduous duties and
insure proper entertainment. With fine
weather the attendance should reach 500.
The date is chosen with a view to the
enjoyment of all the school children.
Every handsome baby will receive a
prize; so will almost everybody else,
for there are games and prizes innumer-
able.

Frederick Zahn has one of the finest
stores now in the Bronx, at Seventh ave-
nue and One Hundred and Twenty-fifth
street. He has ,iust doubled it in size
and is building up a larger business than
he has ever had in his twenty-five years'
experience.

Meyer, at Madison avenue and Fifty-
cightii street, had a big wedding last
week. The bridal bouquet of valley and
wliite orchids was very handsome. It
was a shower bouquet, of course, and the
bridesmaids' bouquets were of valley
and Killnrney roses. Meyer also had
the famous Keiley wedding, using over
1,000 white peonies, with many enor-
mous palms.

A. \Vi;rendorff reports the largest
steamer trade in his experience. Every
sailing day is a repetition of the big de-
livery. The steamers are floating
palaces, most of them. B. Suzuki re-
turned last Friday on one of them and
will soon start for Japan.

Boddington is having a great call for
his challenge pansy .seed. Harry Bun-
yard was back from one of his trips last
week ^^ith some good fish stories and
many a string of orders as confirmatory
proof of his skill as an angler.

Wm. Elliott & Sons wind up the auc-
tion season next Tuesday, June 26, with
their big annual trade sale. They have
a large stock to offer and anticipate a
brisk business, for the items are mostly
those in strong demand. Their sales
have been exceptionally successful all

The Market.

Last week was a very busy one, there
being plenty of work for weddings,
school commencements and funerals.
This about winds up the season 's work
as far as the retail florist is concerned,
and we might include the wholesaler as
well.

There is an immense overstock of
second grade stock at all the wholesale
houses, but really first-class stock in
roses is very scarce and has been for
some tiipe. The cool nights have covered
the leaves with mildew, Bride and Maid
being especially a^ffected with it. Some
fairly good Ivory, Richmond and Beauty
are to be had, but the supply is limited.

Carnations continue plentiful, with
prices down on common grades. Law-
sons are very much off color. Enchan-
tress keeps up fine, as do all of the
whites, with the demand still very good.
Sweet peas were in big demand for
school clo.sings last week. White and
lavender, the latter especially, had a
big call, it being the high school color.
Lily of the valley is coming in fine and
plenty of it for the demand. Choice brings
$4 per hundred. Outdoor stock is gen-
erally poor, though some good stock of
outdoor .Tacqs, gladioli and cornflowers
are seen.

The plant trade is about over for this
season. From reports from some of the
leaders the season must have been a
good one for all the plantsmen.

Florists' Qtib Meetine.

The Florists' Club had another slim
attendance at the regular monthly meet-
ing last Thursday afternoon. President
Ammann came all the way from Ed-
wardsville to preside over the meeting
and only a handful of regulars faced him
when he opened the session at 3 o'clock.
The regular proceedings came first on
the program, and after disposing of
these the chairman appointed F. J. Fill-
more, E. W. Guy and Carl Beyer a com-
mittee to draw up suitable resolutions
on the death of W. J. Schray.

William C. Smith was elected a mem-
ber of the club. William Winter, of
Kirkwood, then led a discussion on
' ' Growing Sweet Peas Under Glass and
Outside. ' ' Mr. Winter 's remarks were
well received and Messrs. Steidle, Fill-
more, Guy and Ammann joined in the
discussion.

The picnic question came up, which
ended in the trustees being instructed to
prepare an outing for the latter part of
.Tuly and report at the next meeting of
the club. The first of the outdoor meet-
ings will take place at Edwardsville, III.
President Ammann invited the members
to meet at his place for the meeting
July 12, when officers will be nominated.
This was accepted and means a royal
good time, especially as the ladies are
invited, too. Everybody knows what it is
to be guests of President Ammann. A
large attendance is already assured.

The secretary reported that the dis-
cussions for the next meeting will be l»y

Henry Braun, on "Growing Asters
Under Glass and Outside," and Frank
A. Weber, on "Growing Eoses, Both
Tender and Hardy, in the Field."

After the regular order of business
had been disposed of, a general discus-
sion followed for the good of the club on
how to make the attendance better, and
on the 8. A. F. convention.

Various Note*.

Henry Aue left Sunday for a trip
to Germany on a steamer that left New
York on Tuesday. He expects to be

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

The feature of the market this week
is the decrease in quantity of flowers
coming into town. The falling off in
carnations is especially noticeable. The
supply of roses is receiving a welcome re-
inforcement from the cooler section ly-
ing to the north, Beauties, Brides and
Maids all being very fine. Gladioli are
arriving in quantity. Iris is also quite
plentiful, double petunias have made
their appearance. Cattleyas are of ex-
<'ellent quality and lower in price. Sweet
peas are good, though their arrival is
irregular owing to the drenching rains.
Taken all in all, business is fair for the
season, with a considerable amount of
shipping. There is enough good stock
to meet practically all demands.

Evolution.

"Have you any campaign literature?"
was asked of J. Otto Thilow, secretary
of the Henry A. Dreer Co., one day
this week. "Oh, we're always cam-
paigning here," Mr. Thilow replied.
'How about perennials?" his interlo-
cutor coaxingly continued. "Wonderful.
Ihe increase in the demand for these
plants grows steadily, and what is bet-
ter, the buyers themselves specify the
varieties they want and the number of

each color instead of leaving it to their
landscape gardener or to us. We con-
sider this a very healthy sign, and at-
tribute it in some measure to such
works as * ' The Woman 's Hardy Garden ' '
and others like it. Ladies who would
not dream of planting a bed of gerani-
ums or a border of coleus, delve in the
earth themselves to plant foxglove or
monkshood, with true gardening enthu-
siasm. They consider the country resi-
dence as the picture with its setting of
beautiful green lawn dotted with shrubs,
framing it with a border of peoniee,
larkspurs, and all the other popular per-
ennials. ' '

Varioui Notes.

M. Eice was hard at work in his hand-
some warehouse last Monday, checking
up orders, despite the twenty-hour delay
to the great Kaiserin Augusta Victoria,
due to fog off Sandy Hook.

Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. Kafilert
quietlj' celebrated their silver wedding

Henry Heilerman, with the Leo Nies-
sen Co., has decided to abandon the
ranks of the bachelors in favor of the
benedicts. He is accepting the best
wishes of his many friends.

The new Tradesmen's Trust Co. was
tastefully decorated with plants and cut
flowers last Monday by the Wm. Gra-
ham Co.

Commodore John Westcott entertained
a party of his friends at Waretown, on
Barnegat bay, last Friday and Sat-
urday. Among the Commodore's guests
were Wm. H. Westcott, William West-

cott, Robert Craig, William K. Harris,
J. William Colflesh, Samuel S. Pennock,
Charles F. Eimerman, Richard Lynex,
John Denham, Robert Kift, David Rust,
G. C. Watson and others.

Wm. J. Muth, manager for the Phil-
adelphia Cut Flower Co., has received
some very complimentary lines from con-
signors, appreciative of his efforts dur-
ing the past season. One of them wrote,
"Well done for the May days! I shall
now be satisfied even if June only real-
izes enough to cover express charges."

Edw. Reid is receiving some very fine
gladioli.

The golden jubilee of the republican
party held in this city this week brought
out the decorators' skill more in the line
of electric light, flags and bunting than
in that of plants and flowers. There
was, however, a. marked demand for yel-
low daisies.

H. Bayersdorfer & Co. have received
large consignments this week by the
steamers Abyssinia and Marquette; some
(50,000 cycas leaves arrived, nearly all of
them being ordered. Adjustable plant
stands and F. F. pins are also in heavy
demand.

BUFFALO.

The Market.

There has not been sucli a surplus
of flowers hero as we read of in some
other cities, and for the next two weeks
we can look confidently to graduations
to keep down oversupply. Our local
peonies are only just in bloom and there
is no great demand for them. Koses are
good, bad and indifferent. Carnations
are first-class. AVe have had three or
four weeks of extremely dry weather,
which has been trying on young carna-
tions in a locality where we have no
means of irrigation. In the city we do
not feel the absence of rain, for there
we have the hose with a man or boy
at one end and Lake Erie at the other.

Various Notes.

A few visitors have called of late.
That very practical young man, C. B.
Knickman, dropped in on his return to
(iotham. Arnold Leonine Ringier, of
Chicago, makes Buffalo his central depot
while he makes short radiating trips
to small communities like Rochester,
Toronto and Tonawanda. Mr. Ringier
seems to have entirely recovered from
his rheumatism, and is as robust as
Jeffries and has the complexion of a

Zulu maiden. Nothing like a milk diet.
Philip Scott, of the Scott Floral Co.,
Denver, is also here. The preservation
of his health demanded a short sojourn
in a lower altitude.

company of Henry Wise, of East Aurora,

and Charles (Juenther, of Hamburg, to
take Liic trolley for Lancaster to call
at the large establishment of William
J. Palmer. It was June 15, the gala
day of the whole year. There was a
parade through the village by every one
who owned a nag and wagon, and then
a hoss trot. ^lany of the horses had
never seen a trolley car and attempted
to climb a tree rather than pass these
vehicles with no visible motive power.

Barney Myers, the able manager of Mr.
Palmer's 300,0i>0 feet of glass, had the
mayor in his buggy and led the pro-
cession and it was his horse that de-
sired to ascend the elm tree. The at-
traction of the 2:40 trot did not keep
Barney at the track when he heard that
three such veterans were at the green-
houses.

As usual, the place looks fine, work
well up to date, several carnation honset
planted about a month, a wonderfully
thrifty house of Jvaiserin planted in
early March and now yielding a fina
crop. A portion of this house was lifted
plants from a house planted two years
ago. They had scarcely finished trans-
planting and had already this spring
given two fine crops of flowers. A
very noticeable house is one of Rich-
mond. Surely this is a great rose.
They are covered with buds this early,
but will not be allowed to bear a crop
until the end of July. With all the
splendid appearances of these plants,
Barney does not think the variety is as
free as Liberty. Surely he must have
had exceptionally good fortune, with
Liberty to say that. Notice, I did not
say luck, for success in gardening is not
luck. It is a mixture of brains, hard
work and close attention. We noticed
between two houses in a sheltered spot
a fine bed of a yellow Spanish iris.
We have always bought these simply
under color, but there may be choicer
varieties under name. This was a most
beautiful flower, as attractive as an
orchid, and Mr. Myers said they sold at
the store like the proverbial hot cakes,
bringing almost as much per dozen
flowers as the bulbs can be brought at
per thousand. We have seen some of
these irises in town showing no signs
of flowering. We noticed where the
irises were flowering that the soil was
very sandy, the remains of any propa-
gating bed being dumped there. This

may be a point in their culture and
accounts for their earliness and fine con-
dition. If any one needs to study the
bench question, he will find every kind
on this place, as well as the most up-
to-date methods of growing flowers.
There is a bed of Adiantum Croweanum,
1,000 plants, which look about as good
as if they were in Utica, and that is say-
ing enough. Mr. Myers in his municipal
capacity has already discovered at-
tempted "graft" and nobly frustrated
it. I always knew if there was more
of the horticultural craft in our city
government there would be less to com-
plain of. Of course, many a florist has
his price, but they come higher than
the ordinary tradesmen.

We regret for our sake that on July
1 Henry "Wise gives up his share of the
firm of Wise Bros., of East Aurora,
N. Y., and takes charge of the estab-

Mr. Kasting is fortunate. If ability,
integrity and close application to busi-

in Henry Wise. He has lived so long
a neighbor to the sage of East Aurora,
Elbert Hubbard, that he must have ab-

stock than was to be obtained, but there
were quantities of rubbish for the
garbage man. The few cold days we
have just had have improved the roses
a great deal. Sweet peas are still plenti-
ful, but many of them are soft and have
no value. The Pittsburg Cut Fower
Co. is otfering storage peonies, which
came in good play last week for the
large decorations, as lilies and other
large flowers were very scarce. There
are some gladioli in evidence, but noth-
ing fine. We wonder why a sane man
will buy cheap varieties to force, when
the same expense will grow good varie-
ties and bring more than twice as much
money. Most of the rose growers have
part of their stock benched and are
just waiting for the trade to let down
a little to clean out the balance and
finish planting.

The plantsmen who have been in the

Ed. McCoIIuin, of the Pittsburg
Florists' Excliangc, and William Patter,
of the Pittsburg Cut Flower Co., are
putting in their spare time getting their
fishing tackle in shape for an excursion
into Canada.

Ernest Zieger, of Lnarles T. Siebert's,
reports the best season they ever had,
both for plants and flowers. He says
that he is glad it is about over, as he
would like to get an opportunity to
renew his acquaintance with his family.

T. Beckert was a visitor to the city
one day last week. He had been so
busy getting in sweet peas for the last
month that he could not spare time
to visit his friends. *

David Geddis reports trade in Home-
stead as brisk, several large weddings
and a big funeral order made last week
a good one for business.

Hoo-Hoo.

An industrial edition of the Leader
contains the following:

Pittsburg Florists' Exchange is one
of the unique institutions of this city
and is owned and managed by P. J.
Demas, a native of Sparta, Greece, who
came to this country in 1891 and has
made a success of life. Mr. Demas is
but 29 years old, but has more than
the usual business acumen and his busi-
ness is supplying in a wholesale way the
retail florists of this and surrounding
cities. He receives his stock on consign-
ment from all over the country and does
a large business, paying out for express
charges alone from .$35 to $60 per day.
He employs ten people and is a leader
in the Greek colony of Pittsburg.

TVIN QTIES.

The Market.

Business the past week has been quiet
with all of the dealers. The growers
are about winding up their orders for
planting. On account of the wet and
unfavorable spring, planting was de-
layed to a large extent, consequently
nearly all of them still have some or-
ders unfilled for planting. Bedding
stock, if anything, was much better than
last year, and from all reports the de-
mand was much heavier. The different
greenhouses are pretty well torn up, mak-
ing improvements, alterations, etc.

The cut flower business is very dull
and stock is plentiful. Eoses particu-
larly were in abundance the past week;
the market was practically glutted; in
consequence they were sold by the grow-
ers at close figures. The small dealers
are getting $1 per dozen for them, while
the better stores are yet able to get
$1.50 per dozen. American Beauties sold
fairly well last week, no doubt on ac-
count of the reduced price on them. Some
very nice Beauties are offered for $3 and
$5 per dozen. Carnations are keeping
up nicely and are sold for 75 cents and
$1 per dozen. June weddings are few
and far between, and reports from all of
the dealers say they do not amount to
very much in dollars and cents. Sweet
peas are in demand, and a great many
have been used for wedding bouquets.

Minneapolis.

The Whitted Floral Co. reports that
business in the new location is away
ahead of anticipations and is well pleased
with the move.

Ralph Latham is doing a good busi-
ness, and the fact of his being out of the
high rent district no doubt cuts con-
siderable figure in his profits. He
claims his present location has increased
his trade wonderfully.

Geo. Murtfeldt is doing a nice busi-
ness and reports satisfactory results for
his past season's work.

Both Donaldson and the Powers Mer-
cantile Co. continue to carry heavy
stocks, principally of carnations. Their
packages bear no label as to where they
come from, which no doubt is pleasing to
the majority of their customers, as the
average recipient of a box of cut
flowers prefers to have them come from
a regular florist. They have sold a great
many potted plants, principally gerani-
ums and ferns at close figures.

Patthey & Thompson have discontin-
ueii business; their stock was pretty
well bought up by the different florists.

Oscar Amundson, of the Rosary, says
trade has been very good; he has been
in business about one year, but has suc-
ceeded in building up a nice trade. He
is almost surrounded by the Greek
trade, but has evidently won out.

St. Paul.

L. L. May & Co. have just completed
filJmg up their conservatory with a fine
lot of palms, which were importea direct
and came through in fine shape. They
report a good retail trade, principally in
the funeral work line; also a few good
decorations the past week.

Otto Hiersekorn is doing a good retail
business in plants and cut flowers. He
says trade is ahead of last year.

The Swanson Floral Co. continues to

Half a crop of onion seed is about all
that any of the California growers are
looking for.

The harvest of onion sets in the Chi-
cago district will likely begin a week to
ten days earlier than last year.

Reports from Iowa and Nebraska
state that crops of sweet corn are in good
shape so far, and that the outlook on
vine seed crops is satisfactory.

The agricultural appropriation bill is
back in conference again, but it is the
meat inspection amendment, not the one
for free seeds, which is holding up the
final passage of the bill.

Luther Burbank, who already has a
record in the way of the potato that
bears his name, again has taken up that
family with the purpose of improving
on existing varieties. A large planting
of potatoes has been made on his
grounds at Santa Bosa.

Visited Chicago: — J. C. Robinson,
Waterloo, Neb., en route to his old home
in Washington county. New York. He
will take in the seedsmen 's convention
returning; Waldo Rohnert, Gilroy Cal.,
en route to seedsmen's convention, via
Detroit, Mich., his former home.

Reports in general indicate a satis-
factory condition of summer trade. There
seems to be no unusual demand for tur-
nip seed. The weather has been unfa-
vorable for the usual plantings of beans
and the demand for the article at present
is below normal. There is still quite a
demand for good tomato plants. The
outlook is that th« supply of spinach
seed for midsummer planting will be
short of the demand.

Chicai.o: — Charles Hollenbach and
Lcoiiiinl If. Vaughaii are a committee on
Iransjiortjituin to look after the comfort
of the (liicago delegates to the seeds-
men s cunvfiition. This committee is
perfecting arrangements with the Wa-
bash F\. R. from Chicago to Toledo, and
it desires to hear from any of the west-
ern seedsmen who intend coming via Chi-
cago. Address either Leonard H.

i About half of a normal crop of onion
s^ts is the prediction for the 1906 har-
vest.

• No changes are reported in conditions

tricts.

W. F. CoOKSHUTT, Brantford, Ont., is
clearing ground for a new seed building
oil Queen street.

The Nebraska growers of cucumbers
for seed have said as little as possible
about their surpluses, but they have not
planted as large an acreage as usual.

"Waldo Kohnert, Gilroy, Cal., was in
Chicago last week enroute to his old
home at Detroit for a brief stay prior
to the seedsmen's convention at To-
ledo. He says that the damage to on-
ions by mildew has not been greatly
overstated.

Had the seedsmen elected to stand by
their first expression and meet next week
in California instead of Toledo, they
would have encountered a most unusual
season. It would have been a very in-
teresting trip, but doubtless it is better
that the California meeting should be
held when conditions are more nearly
normal.

TRADERS' RESOURCES.

As showing the resources of the big
general mail order houses which have
gone into the seed business the follow-
ing will be of interest:

"Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, said
to be the largest mail order, hous^e m the
world, is to be incorporated with $40,-
000,000 stock. Goldman, Sachs & Co.
are financing the incorporation. The
company will have $10,000,000 of seven
per cent preferred stock and $30,000,000
of the common stock. The quick assets
which will be turned into the treasury
of the company, it is said, will amount
to $10,000,000, equivalent to the total
issue of preferred stock."

It is stated that in the year prior to
the removal of Sears, Roebuck & Co. to
their new buildings, their annual busi-
ness amounted to over $30,000,000, or
about $100,000 a day. Since moving to
the new site it is said the business is
nearly doubling.

ENGLISH SEED CROPS.

So far as present prospects can be
judged, beets, mangels, parsley and par-
snips growing for seed in Essex are
looking well. Swedes, turnips, cabbage
and other brassicas are much below the

average, but crops have improved. Car-
rots and onions are only moderate. Pes^

beans there are complaints of a poor
plant with some growers; it is yet too
early to say what these will do, as late
frosts may do much harm. — H. A.

CALIFORNIA SEED CROPS.

GiLKOY, Cal., June 5. — Late rains and
favorable cool weather have caused nearly
all seed crops in California to take on a
vigorous growth. These conditions,
while benefiting nearly all crops, have
been a great detriment to the onion seed
crop. The estimate now is that about
fifty per cent of the seed stalks are mil*
dewed, some veiy badly and some just
touched. With favorable cool weather
the later ones may pull through with
some seed in the head, but those stalks
that are badly mildewed will never re-
cover enough to form any seed what*
ever. All varieties seem attacked about
the same, and the same conditions exist
on about all the seed farms.

Lettuce, radish and sweet peas are
taking on a very fine growth and with
favorable weather during June and. July
the growers feel confident that the crop
will be above the average, and contracte
will probably be filled in full.

The small flower seed crops are look-
ing well and the growers in the Santa
Clara valley are hopeful of a just re-
turn on their investment.

NOTES FROM HOLLAND.

The lifting of the bulb crops will now
soon be at hand and even in some of the
less favorable localities has begun al-
ready. The month of May, which is
really the decisive month for the tulip
crop, was cold and rainy and the ap-
pearance of the blight in the tulip
leaves might not have taken such pro-
portions if dry and warm weather had
prevailed. The continued wet has, how-
ever, been the cause that this blight kept
spreading with marvelous rapidity in
some of the fields and put a sudden
stop to all growth. In consequence the
crop in such places will only be mid-
dling and in some places where the
leaves were killed off altogether the
bulbs will be poor. Crocus have also
suffered severely and as the area planted
out is much smaller than in
previous years, it is quite certain that
they will be scarce and higher in price
this season. Hyacinths are looking well
and if the month of June should turn
out warm, we may expect to lift a good
crop, although the quantity of salable
bulbs is likely to be considerably less
than last season, and especially in whites
there will not be any surplus. — Horti-
cultural Trade Journal.

FEEL NEED OF GUARANTY.

At the recent annual dinner of the
Agricultural Seed Trade Association of
Great Britain much of the discussion
turned on the desirability of a recognized
standard of purity and germination,
which should be guaranteed in all
transactions. Geo. Somer, of Peter Law-
son & Son, said: "I do not think there
is anything of such importance that we
have to face in the immediate future
as the question of purity and growth;
it is a matter of the greatest moment.
This is a matter which should be taken
in hand by the association, and I think
the minister of agriculture should be
approached on the subject. Take the

case of samples arriving from abroad.
We know nothing of their germinating
capabilities. I think we ought to have
some rule established to protect our-
selves, as it often happens the samples
arrive and one has to cable the reply out
the same day. I consider it is a subject
which should be thought out thoroughly,
as at present there is no rule framed
which covers this point."

Herbert Le May said: "With regard
to the very important question — purity
and germination — which is daily coming
more to the front, the association ought
to take it up very strongly. In a very
short time every article will have to be
sold by sample on a guaranteed purity
and germination. It is not so much the
question of the color of the seed; what
does it matter to the farmer what it
looks like; what he wants is good
healthy seed that will grow." He was
also strongly of opinion that a central
control station should be established in
this country. "Why should we have to
send to Zurich to have our seeds tested?
Why not have a central control in Eng-
land? Surely England is of suflScient
importance."

The Market.

We have been most agreeably surprised
by the steady and continuous run of
good business we have been having. No
matter how hot it has been we have
had trade; as yet there has come no
summer dullness. The usual number of
June weddings, school exercises, as well
as much funeral work, has made the
entire month busy. The demand for
roses keeps brisk, and the supply is
large. Beauties still are good in size,
but other varieties are small and poor.
Carnations are plentiful, quality good
for the season, and the demand cleans
them up, even if some do go at low
rates. Peonies have had a great run this
season; they seem to become more popu-
lar every day, and have sold at good
prices from the first. Other flowers and
green goods arc reasonably plentiful.

The death of Gov. Pattison at Cincin-
nati, June 18, made considerable funeral
work for our stores.

The weather has been showery lately,
and everything is making a fine growth
outdoors.

Variotn Notes.

One of our largest department stores
has been having large sales of bedding
plants; their latest prices have been 29
cents each for Baby Ramblers. They
say, "This rose has been sold right here
in Columbus, not more than a week ago,
for $2 each." Other plants are: Coleus,
1 cent each; cannas, 3 cents, and they
were good plants.

Graff Bros, have been handling during
the past fortnight enormous quantities
of carnations, in two grades, at 25 and
35 cents a dozen. Customers are plenti-
ful at these rates.

The bowling team of our club is work-
ing hard at least one evening a week.
We expect to have a very good number
of bowlers to select from for the Dayton
tournament. ^

The Livingston Seed Co. has been hav-
ing sales of tomato plants that run into
several millions. Owing to the general
shortage of plants, business in this line
has been especially brisk.

Mrs. M. B. Faxon, the seedsman's
wife, is in Boston visiting her mother
and sisters. Mr. Faxon is with the Liv-
ingston Seed Co.

The premium lists for the Ohio State
Fair, which takes place here September
3 to 7, are now being distributed. Tho
premiums are very liberal for flowers

so many wedding and floral decoration
orders ahead, as at this season.

VICTORIA. R C.

The bedding season is over. The de-
mand has been unprecedented and there
has been a great clean out, much to the
gratification of the fraternity.

Tomatoes are realizing a handsome
price, 20 cents per pound. All who have
houses of these are well satisfied. A.
J. Woodward is growing 30,000 of them.
Covent Garden turned in the first lot.
They began cutting in March.

We have had some nice showers and
carnations in the field are looking very
fine. The effects of the severe frost in
March are still making themselves
visible. Lilium candidum, which usually
is so good here, is all blackening at the
bottom and the flower spikes wither and
die. Delphiniums are particularly good.
I saw some today nine feet high and
many bore flowers two to two and one-
half inches across.

We are trying to get park commission-
ers appointed instead of leaving our
beautiful Beacon Hill to the tender
mercies of three aldermen, who are ap-
pointed annually, and who usually know
as much as the ordinary individual about
gardening and landscape work — ^but not
always. Our park is wonderfully situ-
ated, beautifully planted with oaks and
Douglas firs by nature. Under good
management it would be one of the
loveliest spots on the coast. E. A. W.

ten years he worked in the mines and
then came to this city. Establishing a
nursery at Delmas and San Fernando
streets, he continued in the business of
florist for twenty years or more.

Mr. Jacquelin was one of the best
known residents of this city. He was
identified with public work and was
prominent in fraternal circles. His death
was hastened by the shock he received
at the time of the San Francisco dis-
aster. His daughter's home on North
Beach street in San Francisco was de-
stroyed by fire and the aged pioneer was
brought to this city in a precarious con-
dition.

Business in every line is gradually as-

florists will have some additions to their
number the coming week. Although the
retail trade of the town is still practic-
ally centered on a few streets oh the edge
of the unburned district, there are quite
a number of business blocks in the
course of erection down town. It is im-
possible at this time to tell where the
trade of the town will eventually con-
centrate itself, and the dealers who have
already leased stores have in most cases
made the contract for one year, with the
privilege of two years. It is thought

by many that at the expiration of a year
it will be easier to tell where the limits
of the town will be and locations can be
selected accordingly. ^

From inquiries among the newly estab-
lished retailers regarding the state of
trade at the present time, I find that
there has been a great falling off in
shipping orders, as is natural at this
season, when our interior towns are in
the throes of warm weather, and there
will be little business in the florists' line
until the fall season arrives. The weather
here in town is delightfully cool; we
have not had a warm day this year. This,
of course, favors the handling of flowers,
both for the growers and retailers. There
is little business except funeral orders, so
that the demand is principally for white
stock. The price of everything is very
low and for many kinds of flowers there
is no demand whatever.

Among the growers there is miieh
speculation as to what the demand will
be for the coming season. There has -
been such a vast quantity of stock al-
lowed to go to waste that the output will
be only a fraction of what it formerly
was. This is particularly true of rosea,
carnations, lilies and mums.

Over in Oakland business is only fair
and as in town here the demand is prin-

Various Notes.

Fregosi & Co. have opened a new store
on McAllister and Fillmore streets. A.
Fregosi has been associated with Pode.sta
& Baldochi for the past five years and
previous to that he was in business on
Geary street.

The establishment of Podesta & Co.,
on Polk and Sutter, is now ready for
occupancy. The premises have been fitted
up in good shape and a splendid trade
should be done at this popular corner.

Kien & Co., of Elmhurst, are cutting

large quantities of Enchantress and
Prosperity carnations at present. Their
stock is in splendid shape.

The Cox Seed Co. haa opened an office
at 2077 Sutter street.

The Art Floral Co., of which V.
Matria is manager, will open on July 1
in the same building with Tait's Cafe.

H. M. Vanhorn has sold the ground
formerly owned by him, and used as a
nursery, near Piedmont. It will be cut
up and sold in building lots. The price
received for its sale is $30,000.

Domoto Bros, are handling their
wholesale business from the store of the
Fugi Company.

The Eureka Wire Works Company is
working day and night shifts at present
in an effort to stock up the stores with
floral designs. This firm lost heavily in
the recent fire.

J. T. Sheppard, formerly in the floral
business in Oakland, is now interested in
the manufacturing of mining machinery.

The Navlet Co., of San Jose, is ship-
ping floral designs in considerable quan-
tities to the local dealers.

A. Mann, Jr., reports a steady out-of-
town trade for florists' supplies. Mr.
Mann carries the largest stock on the
coast.

Miss Wallenberg, formerly in business
on Sutter street, will leave for an ex-
tended eastern trip in a few days.

Miss Solomon, the well known decora-
tor, reports several large orders for early

NURSERYMEN CONVENE.

The American Association at Dallas.

The thirty-first annual convention of
the American Association of Nursery-
men at Dallas, Tex., June 13 to 15, was
farther removed from the centers of the
industry than the association has gone
before, but the meeting without doubt
was one of the most successful of the
long series. The attendance was up to
the usual record and a large number of
new members was gained in a territory
heretofore not largely represented in the
association. Besides, the regular at-
tendants saw a new country, and formed
personal acquaintance, and established
business relations in a section of the
country which rapidly is taking a place
of first importance in all things horti-
cultural.

The Texans made good their promise to
provide hospitably for their guests and
the weather was in delightful contrast to
the memorable experience at West Ba-
den last year.

The opening session, on Wednesday,
was marked by a great flow of oratory.
Kev, J. T. Sneed, of Tyler, offered
prayer, followed by addresses of welcome
by Stanley H. Watson, Mayor C. P.
Smith, President M. H. Thomas, of the
Commercial Club, and President J. E.
Farnswortb, of the Hundred and Fifty
Thousand Club. These were responded
to by Judge Lynn, of Bochester, and
W. M. Stark, Louisiana, Mo.

President E. Albertson then read his
annual address. He reviewed the work
of the various standing committees, on
tariff, and reports of secretary and treas-
urer. He recommended the employment
of an agent for the association to look
after legislation, transportation and
things generally affecting the interests
of the association.

The transportation committee made a
lengthy report covering the classification
changes and other matters to which full
publicity has already been given.

The legislative committee reported on
existing conflicting conditions in the
many state laws relating to interstate
shipments of nursery stock. It was rec-
ommended that effort be continued un-
interruptedly to secure some degree of
uniformity in laws and administration.

The transportation and legisLitive com-
mittee reports were referred to the same
committee as the president's address,
thanks being given to each committee,
especially the former, whose work has
saved thousands of dollars to members
of the association.

The secretary's report was read and
referred to proper committee. The treas-
urer's report was read. It reported a
total available sum of $2,570.74. Ex-
penses during the year amounted to
$1,060.62, leaving a balance of $1,509.92.

A committee was present from the na-
tional association of state enlomologists,
.lud a committee was appointed to meet
them in conference to formulate plans
for greater uniformity in inspection and
certificate requirements. Later the com-

mittee was authorized to continue its
Mork during the year.

On Thursday, Mr. Hale, for the com-
mittee on president's address, reported,
recommending the adoption of that part
relating to the appointment of an agent
to look after the interests of the asso-
ciation in the matter of freights, legis-
lation, etc. It was recommended that
$1,200 be appropriated for salary and a
like amount for the expenses of the of-
fice, the dues to be increased if neces-
sary to provide funds. The report was
adopted unanimously amid cheers.

A motion to combine the offices of sec-
retary and treasurer was lost.

The election of officers brought out a
lively fight and showed up some sore
spots. Orlando Harrison, of Berlin, Md.,
received 73 votes to 57 for E. Albert-
son. J. W. Hill, Des Moines, la., was

Orlando Harrison.

(President-elect, American Asaoclatlon
of Nnrserymen.)

elected vice-president; Geo. C. Seager,
Bochester, secretary, and C, L. Yates,
Bochester, treasurer, all by acclamation.
The executive committee consists of E.
Albertson, Bridgeport, Ind.; J. H. Day-
ton, of Painesville, O., and F. H. Stan-
nard, of Ottawa, Kan.

The following vice-presidents were
nominated :

Detroit was chosen for the meeting
place in 1907.

On motion of H. P. Kelsey, of Boston,
the following resolutions were adopted:

ReBolved, That this association nrges its
members to adopt three classes of prices: first,
retail; second, wholesale; third, trade. The
latter class is to be available only to nursery-
men and florists, or those who buy for public
plantings. And that we disapprove the prac-
tice of advertising In periodicals trade prices.

Resolved, further. That this association dis-
approves the practice of sending or quoting trade
prices to others than those strictly in the trade,
as mentioned before.

Essays and Discussions.

The papers read were not so numerous
as usual, but were not missed. E. J.
Wickson, of California, sent a paper on
"Specific Eequirements of New Varie-
ties in California Fruit Growing, * ' which
was principally devoted to the achieve-
ments of Luther Burbank. C. C. Mayhew,
of Texas, discussed "The Importance
and Best Methods of the Bud and Scion
Supply in Grafting." Geo. S. Josselyn,
Fredonia, N. Y., was assigned the topic,
"Credits," but had so many stories to
tell he haci no time left for his subject.
Prof. T. V. Munson, Denison, Tex^ spoke
briefly but interestingly on his widely ap-
preciated work with plums. Chas. T.
Smith, of Concord, Ga., related his ex-
perience with fertilizers and a sharp dis-
cussion followed, all favoring fertilizers
but disagreeing on the kind and method
of applying.

There was the usual trade display,
the salesmen's samples being reinforced
by a considerable showing of Texas

fruits.

Local Hospitalities.

Seldom if ever has the nurserymen's
convention been held in a community
more hospitable. As had been promised,
there was something doing every min-
ute. Here are some of the things, mostly
in special honor of the tree growers:

Trolley ride through the city.

Watermelon feast at ftiir grounds.

Badger fight.

Banquet at the Oriental hotel.

Trolley trip to Fort Worth.

Trip to OaK Lawn park.

Barbecue at home of Col. S. E. Moss.

Ball at Oak Lawn park pavilion.

C. J. Malloy, C. L. Watrous and J. W.
Gaines were appointed a committee on
final resolutions and expressed the asso-
ciation's appreciation in fitting manner.

On Friday night a special train car-
rying 125 visitors started for San An-
tonio, Galveston and Houston, where the
party split up, taking various side trips
and having a choice of routes home.

NUHSERIES HIT BY STORM.

The vicinity of Geneva, N. Y., was
visited June 10 by the heaviest wind and
rain ever experienced in that section.
The nurseries were hard hit, the W. & T.
Smith Co. suffering a loss on stock es-
timated as running well up toward the
$100,000. Trees were broken or torn,
and young stock literally beaten into
the ground. Howard Merrill places his
loss at $14,000. Harwell Bros, say their
principal loss was in damage to fruit
crops. All the nurseries suffered more
or less.

ORLANDO HARRISON.

Orlando Harrison, of Berlin, Md,, who
last week was elected president of the
American Association of Nurserymen, is
business manager of the firm of J. G.
Harrison & Sons, Berlin, Md., who are
among the largest growers of peach and
apple trees in the United States.

Mr. Harrison is a native of Delaware,
born in Sussex county in 1867. In 1884
his father moved to Berlin and started
the nursery, with which the son has been
associated ever since he became of busi-
ness age. He is now mayor of Berlin
for his fourth term. He has been promi-
nent in Maryland horticultural organiza-
tions, and is vice-president of a local
bank, director of a building and loan
association and identified with several
other local enterprises. He was elected
to the state legislature on the Demo-
cratic ticket, and is an exponent of the
anti-saloon idea in his county. He is
interested in the largest apple orchard
in Maryland, planted in Washington
couni,y. The firm cultivates more than
1,000 acres in the nursery, and employs
more labor than any other firm or cor-
poration operating in Worcester county.

The Gilbertson Nursery Co., Mason
City, la., is to erect a storage and
packing house 120x350.

A Holland nursery is offering a
drooping form of Picea pungens glauca.
It makes a fine specimen.

The Southern Nurserymen's Associa-
tion, Orlando Harrison, president, holds
its annual convention at Lookout Moun-
tain, near Chattanooga, Tenn., August
15 and 16, The program will consist of
five-minute addresses and the program as
outlined provides for a wide range of
discussion.

State of Trade.

A week of cloudy and sultry weather
has put the quality of greenhouse stock
below par. Boses are coming in with
small, unshapely blooms and short and
weak stems. About the only exceptions
received from the local growers are some
lots of La France that show up in bet-
ter form. Pennock, of Philadelphia, has
been shipping in a very good quality of
American Beauty, also good peonies.

We are fast settling into the rut of
summer business, when the retailers will
have leisure to go fishing and otherwise
disport themselves.

Park Superintendents Meet.

cated the establishment of a national
arboretum by the government, at Bock
Creek park in this city. The sessions
were held at the St. James hotel and on
the night of June 13 a dinner was
given the visitors by several florists of
Washington. The modesty of these
gentlemen forbids the mention of their
names.

The following oflScers were elected:
President, Byron Worthen, Manchester,
N. H. ; vice-presidents, John Chambers,
Toronto, Ont. ; John W. Duncan, Bos-
ton; Fred. Nussbaumer, St. Paul; John

THE READERS' CORNER.

Cooceming Photographs.

We aro in entire aecord with what
X. H. Stover stated in the last issue
on tiie (question of photographs. Far
too many pliotographs are published pur-
porting to be reproductions of fine
houses of earnations, roses, etc., which
aro in reality family groups, with the
flowers as a suitable setting. We con-
sider it poor taste to disfigure any plioto-
graphs of plants or flowers with either
the growers' portraits or, as not in-
frequently happen.s, that of their wives,
families and employees into the bargain.
Of course we are all glad to see family
groups, but let them be apart from
houses of tarnations and other florists'
staples. There may be cases where a
grower's portrait might appear with his
productions and still seem in good taste ;
it is, however, quite exceptional.

We think that a good many readers of
the Revikw will not consider our views
nor those of X. B. Stover peculiar.

W. N. Craig.

St. Thomas, Ont. — Ralph Crocker
states that June 8 is the usual date for
beginning cemetery planting here. He
is now quite busy.

HoLDiiEDGE, Xeb. — Dr. W. E. David-
son and his two brothers have purchased
four lots on East avenue and will erect
a greenhouse 22x100 feet. A plant for
liot water heat will be installed and it is
expected to have everything in running
order by autumn.

Ge.\ev.\, X. Y. — June 10 this city was
visited by one of the most disastrous
storms on record. All sorts of build-
ings were more or less wrecked and the
general loss is estimated at $300,000.
The repairs and stock lost at the green-
house of .Tolin P. Welch represent
$1,000.

JOHN LEWIS CHILDS

FLORAL PARK, L. I., N. Y.

ELIZABETH, N. J.

One of the most important matters to
oome before Elizabeth's board of alder-
men in several years, and which will have
a material effect on the growth of the
city if the request of the petitioners is
granted, was a communication recaived
by the aldermen June 15 from Hitch-
ings & Co., Jersey City, which wants to
remove its business to Elizabeth. The
company is engaged in the construc-
tion of greenhouses on an extensive
scale and was established in 1844. It
has now two plants on West Side ave-
nue, and Arlington avenue, Jersey City,
erected in 1880, but haa not the neces-
sary room there and wants to erect a big
plant in the northeastern section of Eliz-
abeth.

In its petition to the aldermen the
company states that its capital is $200,-
000, with a cash surplus of $90,000. It
has acquired a large tract of unimproved
land in Elizabeth and asks that parts of
certain streets be vacated so that it can
put up its industry, which will consist
of a storehouse 200x60 feet, a wood
working plant two stories high, 205x67
feet, and an iron construction shop two
stories high, 160x100 feet; a boiler shop,
100x60 feet; a foundry, 200x70 feet, and
other buildings, 200x70 feet, including a
pattern shop and office building — all to
cost many thousands of dollars. The
company will employ more than 200 men,
all skilled mechanics, molders, machin-
ists, carpenters and glaziers. Its weekly
pay roll will be more than $4,000. The
])resident of the company is E. W.
Hitchings, while Charles Armitage is sec-
retary and treasurer. The streets it
wants vacated are parts of Louisa,
Meadow, North avenue, Henry,, Spring,
Magnolia avenue and Meadow lane. The
matter was referred to the committee on
streets and parks, with instructions to
report in July.

It was the consensus of opinion among
the aldermen that the coming of this in-
dustry to Elizabeth would cause quite
a boom to land values in that hereto-
fore undeveloped section of Elizabeth.
Most of the employes of the firm are
married and have families and as they
will have to live in this city to be near
their work their advent will mean a sub-
stantial addition to the city's population.

Abe J. David, attorney for the com-
pany, briefly addressed the aldermen last
night on the importance of the enter-
prise to the city and requested speedy
action by the board in the matter. There
is hardly any doubt of the favorable re-
port on the subject at tlie aldermen's
next meeting.

ELBERON, N. J.

The Elberon Horticultural Society
held its first rose and strawberry
show on Monday, June 11. There
was an excellent display of roses,
strawberries, and cut flowers, some fine
exhibits being staged. The principal
awards were as follows: For best col-
lection of strawberries, A. Greil won
first; for best dish of strawberries, G.
Conover ; for best collection of roses,
J. Kennedy; for best twelve roses, F.
Dettlinger; for best vase of sweet peas,
A. Bauer.

Special prizes were awarded to W. D.
Bobertson for a fine collection of cut
flowers; to H. Hall for a vase of pop-
pies; A. Bauer for a vase of peonies,
and a special prize donated by F. B.
Pierson C'o., Tarrytown, was won by G.
Kennedy for a vase of roses. The judges
of the evening were Mr. Kennedy, of
Oceanic, and H. A. Bunyard, of New
York.

The society holds its summer show
July 13 and 14 and everything indicates
at the present time that it will be quite
a success. G. M.

NORTHERN TEXAS.

It is ideal growing weather. Mums
are planted and are making fine growth.
Cnrnations in the field are doing well;
one can .tiraost see them grow. Boses
are putting on fine growth for fall
bloom, and all nature smiles.

So far I have had no reason to change
my first impression of the possibilities
of this country. Granting that the heat
is intense during July and August, yet
1 have no doubt that deep and constant
cultivation will do wonders. My obser-
vations lead me to believe that the ma-
jority do not give the attention necessary
to succeed. Another thing, I find here
the preference is given to unintelligent
labor simply because it is cheap. This I
think is a great mistake.

Be[»ortH from diflferent sections are
A-ery flattering. The volume of trade
has increased considerably over last year,
and those who are in a position to speak
claim that the outlook for the coming
season is good.

Mr. Majors, formerly with Munson, at
Denison, but now with the Texas Nur-
sery Co.. reports plenty of work at his
place. Narcissus.

Stamford, Conn. — Alma C. Lindstrom
removed May 1 to a large new store on

been done.

SCENT IN TULIPS.

The artificial conditions of civilized
life have largely deprived our race of
the sense of smell, but there are still a
few among us capable of deep pleasure
in the scents of flowers. It may there-
fore not be without interest to draw at-
tention to the fact that though some of
the bedding tulips are scentless, and sev-
eral rather objectionable in this respect,
there are a few really deliciously scented.
The finest variety, without doubt, from
this point of view, is Prince of Austria,
which very few with their eyes shut could
tell from a Marechal Niel rose. Yellow
Prince has also a delightful fragrance of
its own, and Rose Grisdelin, when grown
in larger breadths, as in Holland, will
scent the air for a long distance. Other
varieties may occur to our readers which
may be added, and we would suggest that
the attention of customers should be
drawn to this often disregarded quality;
as we are quite sure that most ladies
having once inhaled the fragrance of any
of the varieties alluded to, would prompt-
ly place an order for the following sea-
son.— Horticultural Advertiser.

Newton, Kan, — C. L. Shanks has
moved his dwelling across the street and
will use the space vacated in the exten-
sion of three greenhouses forty feet
each. Another house, connecting these
three houses, will be added at the east
end.

Greenwood, Ind. — J. O. Bishop says
spring business las been good. There
was a shortage on both cut flowers and.
pot plants for Decoration day, but he ia
increasing his establishment one-third,
and will be prepared to handle the busi-
ness next year. Carnations look well in
the field, and everything is doing nicely.

RABBIT-PROOF PLANTS.

To the list of plants that rabbits will
not eat may be added cannas, nicotianas,
Hemerocallis fulva and flava (sometimes
when the' last-named commences to grow
rabbits will nibble the growths, but not
to damage them to any extent), polemo-
niums, peonies, heucheras, Celsia ero-
tica, Iris Germanica and varieties. They
will occasionally eat the young shoots of
Michaelmas daisies when first planted,
but if, when cut down in the autumn,
the stems are left some six inches long,
they do not appear to eat the young
shoots the following season. Pentste-
mons are seldom touched. Where rab-
bits abound they are always attracted
by freshly-stirred ground, and several
plants (scabious, for instance) will re-
main untouched through the summer
months, but if left through the winter
they may be eaten during frosty
weather.

weakness for are nasturtiums, perennial

violas, ribbon grass, sunflowers, delphin-

The Weekly Florists* Review.

June 21, 1006.

CINaNNATL

The Market

No one is complaining about business
last week. There was a good, steady de-
mand for all kinds and grades of
flowers and the supply was just about
heavy enough so that we could take good
<?are of it. The early part of the week
it looked for a while -as if there would
be a glut of carnations, as they were
coming in by th6 thousands, but the de-
mand did not fail and they were all
closed out at fair prices. ,

One noticeable feature was the de-
Inand for sweet peas. This flower is
coming quite heavily now, and they sold
out clean and at good prices. At pres-
ent the supply is scarcely equal to the
demand. There are still a few cold
storage peonies, but the supply will not
last much longer. A few asters are
making their appearance. Beauties were
in good demand. White roses were a
close second and brought good prices.
Stocks, feverfew, candytuft, sweet alys-
Bum and snapdragon sold out clean.

Various Notes.

Speaking of snapdragon, you would
surely be surprised to see some of the
varieties originated and grown by W. K.
Partridge. They are simply enormous
and are of the most beautiful colors.
They grow almost four feet tall and bear
trusses of bloom a foot long. As grown
like this, you would scarcely recognize
the snapiiragon. They sell at a good
price and when used in decorations they
create a beautiful effect,

Frank Huntsman has a seedling rose,
a cross between Cusin and Chatenay,
which originated on his place. From all
points of view this rose seems to be a
good thing. It has fine stem and foliage,
«a beautiful pink color, on the order of
Bridesmaid, is very double, and stands
hot weather well. Mr. Huntsman had a
bloom on exhibition at the last meeting
of the Florists' Society, and it created a
favorable impression.

The outing committee has not yet de-
cided on a locality for our annual out-
ing. Charles Pommert, of Amelia, O.,
which is a small town about twenty miles
from this city, has invited the society
to hold the outing on his farm. Many of
the craft have expressed themselves as
being in favor of going there and having
an old-fashioned basket picnic. There is
no question but that if the committee
decide to hold the outing there, Charles
Pommert will i?ee to it that every one
has a fine time.

J. Lodder & Sons, of Hamilton, O.,
have purchased the greenhouse plant
owned by Haeffner & Zumstein, of the
same place, and are now busily engaged
moving the greenhouses and adding them
to their present range. C. J. Ohmer.

TANKS AND PIPING.

I am building three houses, and I
want to pipe them for 50 degrees in zero
weather. Please give me some ideas.
The top of my boiler, on account of
•drainage, stands about two feet above
tl\e level of the floor, so that the return
pipes are about on a level with it. By
putting in a closed expansion tank,
■would results be better? Please tell me
what capacity of tank I would need.
Would a 4-inch return pipe in each side
Avail of the houses 33x80 feet, sides three
feet, ridge nine feet, be successful, with
a 2-inch pipe in the middle, and a 4-inch
one for flow? By having a 4-inch on the
side I would have more fall to the boiler.
The other houses are 22x90, sides four
feet, ridge eight feet, and 11x104, sides
tour feet, ridge eight feet.

M. M. W.

Not necessarily a closed expansion tank,
but one of good size, say fifty gallons,
olevated fifteen feet or more above the
level of the top of the boiler, should
prove an advantage. The manner in
which you purpose to arrange the piping
m the house is not clear and I fear that
my suggestions may not be to the point.
J t 4-inch pipe is to be used in the plant,
the house 33x80 feet can be heated by
using eight runs of pipe or about 600
inea feet, the house 22x90 feet by 510
lineal feet or about six runs of pipe, and
the house 11x104 feet by 314 lineal feet

turns. The higher the flow pipes can
be carried, if the returns are about on a
level with the top of .the boiler, the
better the arrangement. Connect the
supply pipe of the expansion tank to the
main return near the boiler. L. C. C.

TEN NEV HOUSES,

We are to erect ten houses, each 20x
100 feet, five on each side of a packing
shed 12x100 feet. What horse-power
boiler will it take to heat it with steam
in zero weather to maintain a tempera-
ture of 60 degrees? The flow pipe from
the boiler at the north of the packing
shed runs through the packing shed, the
pipes to branch from the main at each
greenhouse. The gutters are five feet
high, the ridges twelve feet. The boiler
is to be set in the ground six feet. Can
we get a good return at that depth?
Slack coal is to be used for fuel. We
shall build with cement walls. The
gable ends of the houses are to be glass.
The houses run east and west. How
many 2-inch flow pipes will be needed in
each house and how many l^^-inch re-
turn pipes under the benches? We shall
use low pressure steam. M. & A.

To successfully handle the plant you
contemplate it will be best to install two

forty horse-power boilers and carry a
6-inch flow pipe through the potting
shed, from which to take the ten 2-inch
flow pipes needed for the ten houses.
If the main flow is 6-inch for the first
fifty feet it can be reduced to 4-inch the
remainder of the distance. The boilers
should be set in the ground deep enough
so the top of the shell of the boiler will
be below the level of the returns in the
houses and so there will be a good grade
and at least two feet offset from the
lowest point in the main return to the
water level of the boilers. You will
make no error by putting the boilers
down deep. Each house 20x100 will re-
quire one 2-inch flow under the ridge and
ten l"V4-inch returns. "Valves should be
placed in at least four runs of pipe in
each house so as to make it possible to
increase or decrease the amount of radia-
tion in the house according to the condi-
tion of the weather. L. C. C

BOILER AND PIPING.

T wish to know how many runs of 2-
inch pipe it will take under each bench
to heat a house 43x54 feet. I intend to
use hot water, and wish to heat to 50 de-
grees. Sometimes we have zero weather
or less for a few days. I wish to grow
carnations and bedding plants. The

house will liave six raised benches and
one bed six feet wide, with 2-foot walks
between. Will one 2-inch flow and two
2-inch returns under each bench be suflS-
cient? 1 have at present in my house
16x40 feet two 2-inch flows and three
2-inch returns, or about 500 feet, which
is satisfactory. In the house 10x45 feet
I have about 600 feet of 1^-inch pipe.
What size boiler should I have to heat
the whole plant? Is it necessary to
lower the boiler, which is at the lowest
corner, on account of the slope of the
ground, and if so, how much!

G. J. L.

The quantity of pipe you have esti-
mated, viz., one 2-inch flow and two 2-
inch returns under each of the seven
benches of the proposed house 43x45
feet should be sufficient to maintain the
heat specified. As the three houses you
have require in the aggregate about
1,000 square feet of radiation, a boiler
rated to carry 1,500 square feet of radia-
tion should be sufficient for your work.

li. C. C.

PIPING TWO HOUSES.

I have been having some little diffi-
culty in heating my houses. I have two
houses, running north and south, pro-
tected on the north by a dwelling. The
east house is 21x58 feet, the west house
16x90 feet, with two feet of space be-
tween. The walls are four and one-half
feet high, with no side sash, well lined
on inside and outside. The boiler house
is situated at about the center at the side
of the west house. Pleaae give me a
general plan for piping for hot water in
2-inch pipes. What size boiler is re-
quired? The lowest temperature is 10
degrees below zero. If you think best I
can move the boiler house to the north-
west comer of the west house. I am
planning to make the east house the
same length, ninety feet, and widen the
west house to eighteen feet, so as to
make use of the space between. Any
advice will be greatly appreciated.

C. A. S.

Personally I should prefer having the
heating plant at one end rather than in
the middle of houses of this length. A
boiler rated to carry 2,000 feet of radia-
tion will be ample for your work. The
house 21x90 feet requires 600 square feet
of radiation, which can be provided by
the use of one 2^/^ -inch flow pipe and ten
2-inch returns. The house 18x90 feet can
be heated with a 2% -inch flow pipe and
nine 2-inch returns. Make as few bends
as practicable, arrange the expansion
tank to connect with the main return
near the boiler and secure, if possible,
at least fifte^ or eighteen -feet eleva-
tion for this tank. Put air valves at
the high points on the flow pipes and,
if possible, pipe each house from the
boiler independently. L. C. C.

METHOD OF PIPING.

I wish to ask you something in regard
to greenhouse heating. In my new house
18x33 feet, running north and south, I
am having a hot water heater installed.
How should the pipes be placed, along
the sides of house or running underneath
the benches? I will grow carnations and
miscellaneous stock. K. C. C.

In a house intended for carnations and
general stock the best satisfaction will
undoubtedly be derived from pipes ar-

steam, the riser to be carried direct to it

from the boiler, it can be piped by using
one 2-inch flow pipe and sixteen 1%-
inch returns. This will supply the requi-
site amount of radiation. The house
28x180 feet requires 1,200 square feet
of radiation, the lean-to house 12x60 feet
requires 220 square feet of radiation,
and allowing 100 feet for each of the
five rooms in the dwelling, i. e., 500
square feet, the total load for the boiler
will be about 1,920 square feet of radia-
tion. The boiler in question, if a regular
stationary, should do the work easily, as
it should be able to provide steam for
about 3,000 square feet of radiation,

MOLINE, ILL.

Tri-city florists enjoyed a fine time
at their monthly meeting at the resi-
dence of William Knees, June 7. All
the florists of the three cities, number-
ing about eighteen, were in attendance,
and most of them were accompanied by
their ladies.

The occasion was the laying of the
cornerstone of Mr. Knees' new green-
house on the rear of the plot of ground
on which his home stands. The corner-
stone was of cement in which an iron
post was set for the corner of the green-
house. As a novelty a tin can contain-
ing a paper bearing the names of all
the florists present was sunk in the
cement. The cornerstone speech was de-
livered by J. T. Temple, of Davenport,
president of the association.

Mr. Knees intends to move from the
old place on Fifteenth street and Six-
teenth avenue in the course of a few
years, as fast as he can build the new
houses on Fifteenth street and Nine-
teenth avenue.

Another feature of the meeting was
the peony show. H. G. Bryant, of Daven-
port, had on display at least twenty-five
varieties of magnificent size and color
which were sent him by his uncle in
Princeton, 111., who conducts a peony
nursery.

The Keview is the pusher. — J. G.
Angel, Neosho, Mo.

I THINK the Keview the best paper
for florists. — George Wolf, Elkins, W.
Va.

We could not run our greenhouses
without the Review. — W. G. Thomas,
SheflSeld, 111.

The Review is too useful for a young
florist like myself to be without. — H. W.
Oliver, Blanchester, O.

We like your paper very much and
would not wish to do without it. — C. L.
CoRBix, Barnesville, 0.

V IT'S A
STRONG COMBINATION

that of uniting the rafter and the

that has done more to revolu-

anything that has happened since
the introduction of the iron frame.

THE TEST OF DURABILITY

Durability in greenhouse material is of first
importance. It is expensive and tiresome to be
constantly rebuilding and repairing — trying to
patch up houses built of poor material.

If you want lasting houses get material that
stands the test. Our cypress material will stand
the most critical examination or comparison.

THE DOLLAR SIDE

THEORY

t

On this side is that multitude of
builders and material furnishers who
base their arguments on: " If so and
so had been so and so, then so and so
would have been so and so." With
these firms you pay for your experience
and their's too — they profit by both
your experience add your money.

FACT

S

a

s Lord & Burnnam Go.

On this side — the $ side — are sound
tried-out facts. The hard sensible,
carefully worked-out tangles of green-
house construction ; the meeting in
a skilful, workmanlike way of all
construction points. The originating
of labor and expense saving features —
the combining of 50 years' experience
with the up-to-dateness of the brightest
greenhouse men the country afifords.
The best of materials for the best of
houses.

Only one side to our side— the fact side— the
Bide that tries theory at the shop and not on you
—the side that makes dollars for Itself and saves
dollars for you— the LAB side.

FLORIST

FLORAL FUNERAL-FASHIONS.

In attending the funeral of the late
governor of Ohio, John L. Pattison, the
writer was impressed by the radical
change which has taken place in the
coloring and design of floral offerings.
It was my fortune to be placed in
charge of the arrangement of the en-
tire floral decorations at the Pattison
home. As was to have been expected,
some of the best floral talent of the
United States was represented: Wash-
ington, D. C, - Cincinnati, Columbus,
Cleveland, and Chicago were among the
larger cities which sent offerings.

Perhaps one of the most valuable
points was the absence of white. The
white rose was conspicuously not there,
and the usual ghastliness of the death
chamber was gone. The glow of
warmth radiated from the red predomin-
ating everywhere. The American Beauty
l)layed the chief part in this. The
sweet pea of lavender and purple tones
was undoubtedly the next favored flower,
these being used largely in wreathes and
casket coverings. Lily of the valley of
course retained a place, but even its
white was toned by a plentiful use of
green, and again the lavender sweet
pea. The lightest tone reached in the
carnation was that of Enchantress. The
white crnation appeared only in de-
signs wht-re strong outline was necessary.
The deep, golden yellow coreopsis, the
rich red of Liberty and Richmond and
the bright scarlet of Flamingo carried
their message of cheer. The white rose
and carnation seemed to have been
relegated to the wedding festival. This
truly is a progressive step and, like
black door crape, is giving way to
modern ideas. . And is this not as it
shoidd be I Flowers are to comfort the
living and are not symbolical of the life
of the deceased.

Kadical as the change in color scheme
was the noticeable absence of set de-
signs. Not a broken wheel, not a gates
ajar to cause the beheading of beauti-
ful flowers. The day when heads are
snapped from graceful stems is passing.
Let US be thankful. Tall, copious
baskets and vases hold natural flowers
in really artistic arrangement. Con-
ventional pieces emblenatic of fraterni-
ties will always hold their place at a
funeral of this character. But to rank
with other modern arrange:nents, floral
•lesigns must adhere absolutely to cor-
rect i-olor scheme and outlines. If a floral
design is a reproduction of an emblem
it must be exact. A green sky, blue
sun, white mountains and a pink fore-
ground is clearly inconsistent, inexcus-
able coloring. And yet at this other-
wise splendid exhibit of America's best
t.-ilent one of the most conspicuous
]Wi-CH was so colored. This piece not
onjy was impossible in coloring but its
design was imperfect. The sun alone
w^as one-fourth the size of the entire
sky space. Being representative of a
historical emblem where nearly every

line was of utmost importance, it should '
have had no variations from its pattern.

The last of set designs to be laid on
the shelf is the old, ever familiar
wreath. But such wreaths would scarce-
ly be recognized. Their severe, plain lines
are softened by long, natural cycas
leaves and shapely sprays of long-
stemmed flowers springing out in curves
from the back and top of the design.
Large bows of ribbon are used every-
where. Wherever lettering appears it
is placed on the streamers of ribbons.
For such purposes shaded ribbon, with
chiffon overties, is largely used. A
favorite combination is an American
Beauty ribbon shaded to a foliage green
and an overtie of pink embroidered
chiffon.

LTpon entering the door the eye rested
on the casket of black, the top com-

decoration beneath. An American flag
was festooned about the base and be-
low the smilax on the casket cover.
Against this background leaned an exact
reproduction of the Beta Theta Pi
fraternity pin. This was a beautiful
emblem of old gold and black. The yel-
low coreopsis for the gold, black im-
mortelles for the field, green boxwood
for the laurel wreath and a white rose
with carnation outline for a diamond,
and the Greek letters worked out with
the golden centers of tlie field daisy.
Immediately over and back of the casket
was a deep bay, the center of which was
occupied by a large mantel on either
side of which were two full length win-
dows. This bay with its mantel and
windows played an important part in
the grouping of the pieces.

On either corner of the entrance
to the bay stood a magnificent
basket of long American Beauties.
Each basket was banded by a sash of
blended ribbon running from the upper
corner obliquely across and tied in a
large bow, the streamers hanging to
the floor. The words "The Senate"
were on the ribbon of the one on the
right and ' ' The House ' ' on the left.
The two groups formed a complete arch
across the entrance to the bay window.
In the center against the mantel rested-
a 4-foot emblem, a reproduction of the

pletely covered by two perfectly fitting
panels of valley combined with largo
quantities of maidenhair fern and
plumosus and heavy border of lavender
sweet peas. I'his design was rare work-
manship. The casket being raised about
four and a half feet from the floor,
gave 3pace for much more than usual

Ohio state seal, with its sun and moun-
tains carefully worked out. Above this,
resting on the seal and draped in smilax,
was a picture of the departed governor.
On the mantel itself stood two large
vases filled with American Beauties and
sprayed to the right and left were two
casket boiiquets of roses which formed

a bank completely covering the space
above the mantel.

On the floor and directly in front of
the seal a large American flag of natural
flowers rested. To the right and left, on
slight inclines, were two Tjig sprays of
American Beauties. On either side of
the seal was a large wreath on an easel,
the line of each wreath being broken
by natural cycas leaves. The wreath
on the left contained lavender sweet
peas, and the one on the right was made
up of the Richmond rose.

Outside of the bay, and in the main
room, on either side were numerous
wreaths, sprays, vases and baskets, all
made up in rich, but subdued tones.'
Many hung from the picture moulding,
and all vantage points, such as the
piano, etc., were completely covered with
offerings too numerous to mention, giv-
ing the room a beautiful effect. In the
adjoining room the most important piece

was an immense vase of American
Beauties being lighted by the sun rays
coming through the partly opened shut-
ters in such a manner that the bouquet
caught and held the only light coming
into the room, making a striking picture
effect. W. J. Williams.

PRAYER-BCX)K AND FLOWERS.

In a wedding ceremony, where the
bride carries a prayer-book, is it the
proper thing to also carry flowers?

I. H. M.

The only flowers ever carried with a
prayer-book are a few delicate ones, like
valley, or one spray of small orchids
in a very small cluster, such as will lie
upon the cover. More often none at
all are used, but never a formal bouquet.

G. B.

Small Ferns.

A very important article with all city
florists in winter is small ferns for
filling the little dishes of many kinds
for dinner-table decoration, and now is
a good time to prepare a stock for that
purpose. Many depend on buying little
plants in pots at from $25 to $40 per
thousand, and ask for their delivery in
August and September. If grown in
2-inc*h pots you have to give them 3-inch
when received, which makes them
cumbersome. You can buy flats of seed-
ling ferns at this time, which are in
good order to put into 2-inch pots, and
the cost will not average over $1.50 per
hundred plants. These can be put into
2-inch pots and placed in a coldframe
and covered with shaded sashes and will
make better plants than those kept in
the greenhouse.

A word about the frame. It should be
where there is no danger of surface
water standing even in excessive rains,
an<l the little pots should be plunged
in refuse hojw, leaf-mold or some such
niateri.Tl that will keep the small amount
of soil in the pots from continual dry-
ing out. 1 have many times referred to
the mistake of putting ferns of any
kind on a bench where the heat from
pijtes could dry them out. This cold-
frame summer treatment is the very
reverse. They have our summer warmth
of atmosphere, which is hot enough
for almost any tropical plant, while
their roots will be cool and moist.
Of course you will remove them to the
hounes on the advent of chilly nights.
Last summer we had a lot of small ferns
ruined with thrips in a warm house.

Azaleas.

Early in July your azaleas plunged
out of doors will have completed their
growth and will be setting buds. Give
them more space and put on the sur-
face of the soil a good inch of rather
fresh cow manure. Don 't let them be-
come crowded or you will be troubled
with thrips, red spider and mealy bug.
Let them be in such order that you can

reach all sides of the plant with the
hose.

Hydrangeas.

Perhaps when you plunged your young
hydrangeas you stood them rather close.
If so, anu there is not daylight between
them, give them more space to prevent
a weak growth, as without light the
flower buds for next spring will be weak
and blind. If they were small plants
when put into the frame they will now
take a shift. A 6-inch pot is as large as
they should be in when taken into the
houses in the fall. A rather stiff loam,
potted firmly, suits hydrangeas. As the
name implies, the hydrangea wlien grow-

ing fast needs an abundance of water
and, Fourth of July or any other day,
they must not be neglected for want
of it.

Camellias.

The camellia is by no means an im-
portant plant with the great majority
of florists, but if you have any you may
as well treat them properly or else put
them on the dump pile, and that re-
mark is appropriate to many things
we see in some greenhouses.

Camellias make their growth directly
after flowering, when they enjoy a high
temperature and moist atmosphere. The
growth is now finished and the buds
formed for next winter. Plants in pots
or tubs can be plunged outside and
should be never neglected for water.
The sun will not hurt them and the
young wood will ripen better than in
a shady house. The sun shines as bright
in Japan and Corea as it does in
Kalamazoo, Mich., or Horseheads, N.
Y., where the camellia is indigenous
with its roots always moist. With our
artificial treatment a severe drying out
at the roots is fatal.

Gardenias.'

Gardenias that have been planted on
benches a few weeks should be growing
freely and in our hot weather will need
a daily hard syringing to keep down
their greatest enemy, mealy bug. The
gardenia is really a hard-wooded shrub
and in Texas is treated as such. In our
northern greenhouses, where our plants
are mostly renewed annually, they need
some pinching and during July they
should have it. The more lateral
growths to a plant the more flowers.
There are many mixtures and decora-
tions advertised and warranted to kill
mealy bug, but I believe a good, fierce
application of cold water is the best of
all.

Syringing.

There is a word used in this coun-
try, which to me is misleading, and that
Is ' ' spraying. ' ' You spray to keep cut

flowers fresh, or possibly a batch of
cuttings more to keep the surrounding
atmosphere moist than to wet the sand,
but spraying should not be confounded
with syringing and when we mean
syringing we should use the word.
Syringing means that you force water
against the under side of the leaf of
many plants with such force that you
destroy the minute web of the red
spider and actually dislodge mealy bug
from its resting place. I have often
thought that when good old Noah was
told to build the ark he might have
saved himself much trouble had be left
many of our small and troublesome in-
sects and parasites to perish. We could
have got along without red spider and
mealy bug, likewise the. skunk and rat-
tlesnake and lots of others. However,
we suspect then, as now, Mrs. Noah
had the say and insisted on taking in
her collection of posies, a rose geranium,
a lemon verbena and oleander, and so
perpetuated these nuisances. Perhaps
old Noah had the snakes at the time
and took in the skunk as a cheap disin-
fectant.

Show Pelargoniums.

Show pelargoniums that are quite out
of flower should be gradually dried off,
not a sudden withdrawal of water, but
less each succeeding week. They will
not suffer if occasionally allowed to be
very dry at the roots, for this will put
them in the proper condition for
propagation at the end of August, the
proper time. They can be stood out of
doors (not plunged) and given sufficient
water to keep them from shriveling.

Calla Lilies.

Those who grew a bed or bench of
falla lilies, which are now done flowering,
should lift the bulbs and dry them off,
not in the broad sun, but rather beneath
a bench where there is no drip. The

soil must be renewed in the bed and the
bulbs will be all the better for the rest
till the middle of September, when you
replant the dormant bulbs. This calla,
or properly richardia, is a most accom-
modating plant. It will grow during
summer, if planted out or in pots, and
well supplied with water, or will submit
to perfect dryness of the bulb for sev-
eral months, but perfect drying out dur-
ing the next three months gives good
results.

Heating Apparatus.

Though not cultural notes, I want to
say a word about your heating ap-
paratus. In the rush at the end of May
when you cease firing, your hot water
heaters and steam boilers are too often
neglected. In the case of hot water
cast-iron heaters the interior surfaces
of the heater, all that you can get at,
should be given a good coat of oil, also
all doors and hinges. It need not be
new linseed oil; any waste oil that has
been used on journals will do. There
is more abuse and wear on these heat-
ers during the dampness of summer than
in the use of them in winter. In the
case of steam tubular boilers, the tubes
should be oiled by running through
each tube a bunch of oily rags or waste
and the interior of the boiler, both the
shell and the tubes, can be oiled by
filling the boiler with water as full as
you would if making steam; then pour-
ing in at the top of the boiler from
twenty to fifty gallons, according to
size, of crude petroleum, which will re-
main on top of the water. Then slowly
withdraw the water from the boiler
and as the water sinks, followed by the
oil, every part of the boiler will re-
ceive a coat of oil. The water in a
steel tubular boiler should be withdrawn
when not in use for any length of time.
Cast-iron heaters and pipes should be
kept at all times full of water. Proper

care of these most important implements
may save you much future expense.

SOME GOOD PEONIES.

One of the most attractive peonies in
the Boston show was Mme. Forel. It is
a very late variety, deep rose, shading
to pale rose, and noticeable for its fra-
grance. The flower is large and full.
This variety has been staged at previous
exhibitions of the peony society and has
never failed to attract attention. It is
noticeable, however, that the exhibitors
do not aJl have the same variety under
this name and efforts to procure it from
Europe have resulted in the shipment of
a variety of forms, showing that the
European stocks are no more closely
allied than are those of America. The
illustration is from a photograph of the
Mme. Forel in the Cottage Gardens' col-
lection.

Another of the varieties in the Cot-
tage Gardens' collection which attracted
favorable attention was La Tulipe, a
late salmon-flesh variety, the center
petals touched with deep purple spots
which somewhat impair its usefulness for
cut flower work. It has a large, full
flower, as shown in the accompanying
illustration.

Ask the average florist which is the
best white peony for commercial pur-
poses and the chances are all in favor
of his naming Festiva maxima, but as a
matter of fact a hundred blooms of
Queen Victoria are cut for the wholesale
markets for every dozen of Festiva
maxima. Queen Victoria is the old Whit-
leyii. It is grown in enormous quan-
tity by the large producers of cut
peonies. It is pure white, early and
fragrant. It is the first to reach the
Chicago market, usually coming at the
earlest date from the growers at Sar-
coxie, Mo. Thousands of dozens are

placed in cold' storage each season, the
keeping quality being among the de-
sirable attributes of the modern cut
flower peony. Another good feature of
this sort is that stock is so plentiful that
it may be had at a moderate price.

PEONY NOMENCLATUHE.

fin Ills aunual' address as president of the
AnierU'un Peony Society, C. W. Ward bad the
following to 8uy oil the subject of nomencla-
ture.]

The necessity of continuing everlast-
ingly at the task of straightening out
the nomenclature of the peony has been
most emphatically impressed upon me by
my experience in purchasing peonies from
both foreign and American growers dur-
ing the last three years.

in my last, annual address I referred
to the variety. purchased under the name
of Henry Murgbr, wherein I received two
absolutely distinct peonies under this
name from the same firm at different
periods. This spring the attempt to de-
terniiue whether the names attached to
the various varieties growing in our
I»eony test plot were the true names, de-
veloped a state of affairs which has
caused nie not a little chagrin, and I
find that I have the same peony in many
instances under several names.

Mons. Charles Levequ<«

Some two years ago I purchased from
one of the most reliable firms in Hol-
land quite a quantity of a peony under
the name of Mons. Charles Leveque, pay-
ing therefor an exceptionally large price
under the impression and representation
that I was getting something especially
good. The plants are blooming for the
first time this season and prove to be
nothing less than the variety sold by
French growers under the name of Mile.
Leonie Calot, introduced by Calot in
1861.

We have been purchasing this variety

firms who have introduced this peony
under a new name, thus giving the im-
pression that it is a new variety, have
done it "knowingly, they have perpetrated
a fraud upon American peony buyers
which will not be soon forgotten by
those who have been unfortunate enough
to purchase this variety at a much higher
price than they could have secured it
iftider its true name from the French and
German growers.

Delachii and Other Sorts.

Two distinct sorts came to us from
reputable firms under the name of Dela-
chii, one't being a deep purplish amar-
anth, the other much darker in color
and with a decided crimson cast. The
habits of the varieties are quite distinct,
and one sort is much more valuable than
the other. I have not as yet been able
to determine which is the true sort, as
either one would answer fairly well to
the introducer's description of Delachii,
which is "deep purple."

From one of the most responsible
American peony firms we received the
variety Mme. Ducel under the name of
Model of Perfection. Others have the
name Mons. Jules Elie attached to their
stock of Mme. Ducel.

Under the name Modiste Guerin come
two varieties somewhat similar in habit
and similar in color, but the true va-
riety is much better in color and a more
valuable peony than the false one.

Mme. Coste comes to us under the
name of Souv, de 1 'Exposition Univer-
selle. Under the same name we get two
dark pink varieties which are far infe-
rior to Souv. de 1 'Exposition Universelle
and which we have not as yet been able
to identify.

Marie Stuart comes to us from one of
the most prominent western peony firms
under the name of Baroness Schroeder.

Under the name of Mme. de Verneville

Peony La Tulipe.

from the most responsible French and
German growers at a few francs per
hundred, and while the peony is of a
very beautiful color, it is weak in the
stem, the blooms fall upon the ground,
and it has little value as an effective
sort in the field. The color is a beauti-
ful shade of salmon-pink, the flower is
medium in size and has the merit of be-
ing a good keeper and may have some
value as a cut flower variety, but if the

we get a mixture of Mme. de Vatry,
Jeanne d 'Arc and the true Verneville.

Jeanne d 'Arc also comes to us under
the name of Marguerite Gerard.

Agnes Marie Kelway came under the
name of La Tulipe and La Tulipe comes
also under the name of Multicolor.

Two common dark pink peonies come
to us under the name of Mme. Camille
Bancel.

Under La Tendresse we get a common

flesh pink, semi-double peony which
shows the seed pods prominently in the
center. The true La Tendrftsse is creamy
white, absolutely double and shows no
center or seed pods and is much dwarfer
grower than the false varitfty.

Rose d'Amoor,

Some three or four years ago we pur-
chased from a Holland firift- quite a stock
of a good solid pink peony under the
name of Rose d 'Amour. All of the
stock we received from the firm the first
year proved to be true to habit and
color. The second order to the same firm
for the same variety brought a mixed
lot of pink peonies, all varying shades
of dark and light pink and purple, and
but eleven plants out of 100 received
proved to be the same kind sold us
originally by this same firm as Rose
d 'Amour. An investigation of the va-
riety, and comparing it with the true
Rose d 'Amour which we purchased from
a French firm, and which answers the
originator's description, disclosed the
fact that none of the peonids shipped us
by the Holland firm in question was the
true variety.

Many common sorts come to us under
the names of well known, valuable va-
rieties. In some instances where a quan-
tity of a valuable sort is purchased, one
or two plants in the lot will prove true
to name, the balance being frequently
nothing but a lot of mixed varieties run-
ning through shades of color somewhat
similar to the variety ordered but of to-
tally different habits and frequently a
totally different period of blooming.

In many instances where a pink va-
riety is ordered we receive various
shades of dark and light pink, white,
flesh colored and even the deep purples
and amaranths. In some instances where
a delicate flesh-colored pink peony was
ordered, the variety received proved upon
blooming to be a deep purple.

Efforts at Identification.

These experiences have been the re-
sult of five years ' efforts to accumulate
a stock of peonies true to name by pur-
chasing them from Holland, Prench and
German peony firms as well as from
American firms. Our plants are now
three and four years old and are develop-
ing normal blooms showing the true
characteristics, so that for the first time
we are able to identify the varieties in
a practical way, provided the origina-
tor's description is sufficiently definite.

In Holland they have a peony associa-
tion which is endeavoring to straighten
peony nomenclature by holding annual
exhibitions of peony blooms and thereby
settling mooted questions of nomencla-
ture. It has identified a number of va-
rieties which the members claim to be
able to furnish true to originator's na ne
and description. iS'evertheless, in nmny
instances when we buy of them they
prove to be wrong when we get them
in flower here.

Our own American firms do not seem to
be in much better condition, and it would
seem as if we are at present almost hope-
lessly mixed in our peony nomenclature,
which seems to be too confused ^ven for
our American firms to deal intelligently
among themselves.

Take, for instance, the peony Delachii.
Should we need 1,000 of this variety
for massing in a large piece of" landscape
work, if we ordered it from two or three
different American firms, we would re-
ceive possibly two or three different
shades of purple that would spoil the

effect of the mass of color if used to-
gether, and barring a very few sorts, if
we should get an order for a thousand
plants of one variety, I do not know
where we could get the order properly
filled. Before peonies can be used large-
ly aftd effectively in landscape work the
nomenclature must be straightened out
80 that peonies can be purchased in quan-
tity from different firma true to name,
color, height and time of blooming.

As most of you know, this society is
making an effort to straighten out and
identity peonies in this country by co-
operating with Cornell University, at
Ithaca, N. Y., in planting a test plot of
several thousand varieties from different
sources, and we are in hopes that by
this means we shall be able to settle on
a list of forty to fifty sorts sufficiently
distinct and accumulate a sufficient quan-
tity of true stock to enable us to do
business with each other on a satisfac-
tory basis.

Not Enough Stock.

There are too many varieties under
name and there is not enough stock of
the best sorts to supply any great de-
mand, and as these better sorts are sold
at good prices, there is a great tempta-
tion for a certain class of dealers to put
in a few of the true sort ordered and
then to fill up the box with roots of
common kinds. We have found three or
four firms in Europe who are making an
honest effort to send out reliable stock,
true to the originator's name, and who
are willing to guarantee their stock. We
have adopted the practice of requiring
such guarantees and not paying for
stock until it has bloomed with us and
proved true, and the most reliable firms
are willing to guarantee their stock in
this way.

But even with such guarantees we get
too great a percentage wrongly labeled,
probably due to inefficient systems of
keeping stock or carelessness of work-
men in handling and packing shipments.
As it takes three years to fully identify
peonies, this receiving unreliable stock
is a most serious detriment and obstacle
to the commercial dealer as well as
to the amateur, who is often keenly
disappointed in getting something en-
tirely different from what was expected
from the catalogue description or from
what was seen and noted on the exhibi-
tion table.

STORAGE OF PEONIES.

[In his annual address as president of the
American Peony Society, C. W. Ward spoke a*
follows on the subject of the storage of peonies]

At the Chicago exhibition we secured
considerable knowledge and experience in
the shipping and staging of flowers, and
this knowledge has been substantially
added to by the experience gained in
staging this year's exhibit in Boston.

In order to secure a large display of
flowers from different sections of the
country, it is necessary that growers in
those sections where the peony blooms
early in the season, ship their flowers
in the bud form for cold storage, as in
the more southern sections of the coun-
try the peonies are out of bloom before
any flowers can be had in the latitude
of Boston, Cleveland, Detroit and Chi-
cago.

My own experience in attempting to
store peonies in an ice-box for exhibition
purposes has proved a signal failure this
year and of several hundred blooms so
held, I have been able to stage but a
hundred or so in passable condition.

Removable Concrete Bench Built by Frank Garland, Dei^laines, III.

At the Chicago exhibition some 2,000
blooms were shipped and held in a cold-
storage plant some six to fourteen days,
and many of them came out in good
condition and made a passable display.
But at Boston no cold-storage plant
could be found which would receive the
peonies, and I was compelled to accept
the kind offer of one of Boston 's repre-
sentative firms, who tendered the use of
a large florist's ice-box and took excel-
lent care of the blooms while in storage,
but the blooms come out in bad shape,
having been rotted at the base of the
petals because of excess of moisture in
the ice-box.

When placed in a regular cold-storage
plant, an even temperature and a dry
atmosphere can be maintained and better
results will be obtained, but my expe-
rience with ice-box storage indicates that
peonies cannot be successfully carried
any great length of time in florists' ice-
boxes and make a creditable showing on
the exhibition table.

When placed in cold storage the blooms
should be tied six to twelve in a bundle
and the buds wrapped in waxed or oiled
paper extending six inches beyond the
buds but open at the ends, and the
stems plunged in water one-half to two-
thirds of their length. This uncertainty
in storing and keeping peony blooms ren-
ders the gathering together of a repre-
sentative exhibition from different points
of the country at one- time an exception-
ally difficult task and it is a foregone
conclusion that our peony displays must
depend very largely upon those growers
in the immediate vicinity of the locality
where the annual exhibition is held.

THE GLASS MARKET.

The manufacture of glass has gener-
ally ceased throughout the United States
and prices are steadily stiffening be-
cause a large number of factories have
little stock on hand, and jobbers' stocks
also are low. This applies especially
to greenhouse sizes. In January the
market was low, but there has been a
steady stiffening in the last three or
four months, and the market on car-
load lots is now 45 to 50 cents a box
above the January market. On small
lots there is, of course, a still greater
increase. Conditions are going back to

the point where Belgian window glass
can again be imported at a profit. Last
week's receipts at the port of New York
were 5,950 boxes at 100 feet each.
There was a time when greenhouse build-
ers used large quantities of Belgian
glass, and they will again use it as soon
as the price of the domestic product
reaches such an altitude that there will
be an economy in importing.

MOVABLE CONCRETE BENCHES.

The accompanying illustration is from
a photograph taken at the establishment
of Frank Garland, at Des Plaines, 111.,
and shows one of his 20-foot houses
equipped with a movable concrete bench
of his own invention and manufacture.
The house contains two side benches each
two feet six inches wide and two center
benches each five feet wide. In the illus-
tration the two wide benches are shown
only half completed, except at the far
end of the house, where the workmen are
engaged in laying the rows of cement
slabs which make the benches the full
width.

This bench is easily built and quickly
removable, being held together purely by
gravity, except for the side boards,
which are clamped on. Legs, stringers
and bench bottoms are all moulded on
the place. The bench bottoms, as shown,
are in reality in the shape of boxes
turned upside down for the sake of light-
ness and economy of material, strength
not being sacrificed.

One of the first questions asked Mr.
Garland by every visitor is as to how
the bench is built around the purlin
posts, which are shown to go through
the slabs of concrete. When one thinks
of it, it is a very simple matter to de-
termine just where the iron pipe will
penetrate the concrete. A chisel is then
used to cut a hole, which takes but a
few moments. Then the pipe is slipped
from its socket, put through the cement
slab and the whole replaced.

This style of bench Mr. Garland finds
to possess every desirable attribute. It
is not expensive and it is permanent.
It affords excellent drainage and a
smooth bottom, which greatly facilitates
removing old soil. He proposes to equip
all his houses with it.

THE NEWER RICHARDIAS.

Kichardia Elliottiana is probably the
finest deep yellow in cultivation, the
entire flower being deepest yellow
throughout. The flower is of good size,
well expanded. The plant is not as
vigorous as could be desired, but will
delight careful cultivators. The foliage
is beautifully spotted, green and white.

E. haatata was the first yellow calla
introduced. At first it sold for $5 per
bulb. It is a strong, vigorous grower,
light yellow, with brown throat, the yel-
low tinge more pronounced when grown
indoors than outside. The foliage is
clear green.

R. Mrs. Roosevelt, Tailby's hybrid, is
a ]»lant of extraordinary vigor, foliage
def>j) green, covered with white dots,
flowers of largest size, wide open, nearly
white, a slight tinge of yellow. I be-
lieve this will become the leading spotted

calla when it becomes known. Each
strong bulb gives several flowers.

R. Van lleet's yellow hybrid has
foliage as distinctly spotted as the well
known spotted calla, with flowers of a
bright lemon color and deep, chocolate-
colored throat. It is a fine bloom, and
a good grower. A strong bulb will pro-
duce several flowers in succfession.

Burbank's new yellow hybrid has been
a disappointment to me. Stock I bought
is apparently mixed. The foliage is
nicely spotted, and it is a vigorous
grower. Some flowers are nearly as deep
yellow as is R. Elliottiana; ind others
are white. Plants grown from the best
yellow specimens will no doubt be val-
uable, as it seems to be a more vigorous
grower than Elliottiana,

R. Rohmanni is a dwarf plant with
green foliage and bright rosy purple
flower.s produced in great profusion. It
makes a fine house plant. E. Y. T.

FUNGICIDE SOLUTIONS.

A iiiKulitT of years ago 1 copied a
foiinul.i for killing damp or black rot
on carntition cuttings. The formula was
also good for stopj)ing damj> on any kind
of cuttings. It consisted of sulphate of
copj)ei and ammonia, Jind as I have lost
the formula I do not know the propor-
tions, ("an vou give me this informa-
tion? ■ P. J. C.

The following Ls no doubt wliat you
are looking for: Dissolve one ])ound of
copper carbonate in two quarts of am-
monia, and keep in stone jug tightly
stoppered until used. When using dilute
in water about one to sixty. This is
a splendid fungicide, just as effective as
Bordeaux mixture and much handier, as
it can be kept a long time without los-
ing its strength if kept well stoppered.
Another remedy we liave used with splen-
did results is formaline. We dilute this
with water about one part to 500, and
we like this even better than the copper-
ammonia solution. A. F. J. Baur.

BONE MEAL.

T desire ronie information as to the
proj)er way to use bone meal for carna-
tions. 1 am in a town where I can get
bone meal fresli from butcher shops.
Any information you can give me rela-
tive to the use of bone meal will be
appreciated. L. L. W.

Bong meal is more extensively used in
growing greeniiouse croj)s than any
other commercial fer!^ilizer, and when
used projterly in c(>nnecti(tn witli animal
manures very little else is needed. If
the bone meal is dry when you get it,
you can .store it away in sacks or in a
bin, but if it is green or damp you will
have to arrange to dry it to j)revent
heating or getting moldy.

As to using it tm your croj)S, that is
largely a (piestion of what i.s lacking in
your soil. Boiu> meal is rich in phos-
phoric a^'id. li!ne and nitrogen, antl in-
variably adils greatly to the proflnctive-

ness of the soil. We begin using bone
meal when the soil is on the benches
and ready to plant. We do not use it as
liberally as .some growers do, as we con-
sider that the same quantity used in two
or three applications is better than all
ai)plied at one time.

We spread about twenty-five or thirty-
five pounds on a bench 5x100 feet, and
rake it into the soil thoroughly. This is
usually enough to run the plants until
towards spring, when we give them
another application in the same propor-
tion with a mulch of manure added. Pure
bone meal is one of the safest fertilizers
you will find, and you will soon Ijccome
familiar with the quantity required by
vour soil. A. V. .1. Batr.

SPANISH IRIS.

The value of the pretty Spanish iris,
when gently forced for spring bloom-
ing, is not sufiiciently well known. They
are very inexpensive, of easy culture and
come in bloom when such flowers are
of great service. They can be grown
either on benches or in flats; the latter
we think are preferable. A depth of
four inches is suflicient. A flat 24x12x4
will hold about 100 bulbs. As they start
very quickly after planting they must
not be covered with ashes or any similar
material, as are the generality of Dutch
bulbs. They will not stand anything
like hard forcing, and nothing warmer
than 50 degrees to 54 degrees at night
is advisable. They may be had in flower
from the end of March until outdoor-
grown bulbs are in, which in this sec-
tion is about June 10.

If the flats can be stood on a bench
and plants allowed to root through, the
.sjiikcs will be all the stronger. They
are specially valuable at Memorial day
for bouquet work, and vases of separate
colors are extremely etfective. Some
growers hold a portion in coldframes
and allow them to come on naturally.
These come just ahead of the outdoor
ones.

An impression prevails among many
that this iris is not reliably hardy. We
have never had any trouble with winter-
ing it, although we have had readings
:is low as 25 degrees to 30 degrees be-
low zero. Early in November is a good
time to plant them and a very light
coating of leaves is all the protection
needed. This should be removed as soon
as the frost leaves the ground. We find
the bulbs last well for two years, but
they are so cheap that any one can af-
ford to plant them annually.

The following varieties are fine for
cutting or for mass effects in shrub-
beries: Chrysolora, golden yellow; Count
of Nassau, dark blue; Louise, a beauti-
ful shade of light blue; Blanche fleur
and British Queen, pure white. All
these force well. W. N. Crak;.

SEASONABLE CULTURE.

As soon as convenient after planting
is finished, staking, tying, disbudding
and cultivating should receive attention.
Where grafteil stock is grown, this
should be done immediately after plant-
ing, so as to obviate accidents to the
scion. As syringing must be practiced
without delay in order to keep spider
in check, the force applied is aj»t to

detach the scion from the stock if left
unsupported.

Deep planting, which is absolutely
necessary to grafted stock, will sup-
l>ort them in a measure, but as the tops
get heavy with the luxuriant growth
usual at this season, it cannot be de-
pended on for long.

Own-root stock also should' be sup-
ported and trained so that none of
the branches are allowed to crawl over
the ground, as this causes the eyes to
break weak an<l is a sure source of an
undesirable crop of blind wood.

Whatever style of support is used,
let it be neatly and tastefully erected,
even though the initial cost be a little

more, as neatness and taste displayed in
a house, by the added pleasure to the
eye, more than compensate for any little
extra cost and labor incurred.

Too much importance cannot be at-
tached to cultivating during the grow-
ing season. Even though it be practiced
twice a week it is not too frequent, and
will soon repay the labor by the rapidity
and quality of the growth.

Do not allow the benches to stand
until it is absolutely necessary to culti-
vate them in order to get rid of the
weeds. Keep the soil ruffled so frequent-
ly that weeds cannot have time to show
themselves, and with all other conditions
good the stock is bound to flourish.

Disbudding, as practiced by up-to-date
growers, consists of something more than
merely nipping off the bud and leaving
all the immature eyes on the stem to
break. They usually select the eye they
wish to form the future stem, which is
to be found near the center of the
growth to be operated on. If this
growth is extra strong it is best to leave
an extra eye or two, but where the
growth is weak they should be cut back
to at most four eyes in order to balance
the future bush.

If tlie drainage is good, give the
young stock plenty of water. It is
astonishing how much water healthy
young stock can use with profit at this
season. Unless on very cold nights, and
we cannot expect many of them during
the next six weeks, the ventilator can
remain fully open unless when there is
danger from wind or rain.

This will give the stock a hardy con-
stitution and enable them to withstand
the troubles we all expect to encounter
when the days get short and the nights
80 cold that we cannot indulge in such
free access of air. Ribes.

NOTES FROM ENGLAND.

The Temple show held last week in
London was a record, both in quantity
and quality of exhibits. It is always
' ' the ' ' show of the year. All expert trade
growers exhibit and it may be of benefit
to American growers to know the names
of the trade specialists who are at the
top in each particular line.

Commencing with orchids, which
formed by far the G;reatest attraction,
Sander & Sons, St. Albans, were showing
the finest in all general varieties, but
C. Vuylsteke, Loochristy, Ghent, Belgium,
showed probably the best odontoglossums
of various types. In roses Wm. Paul &
Sons, Waltham Cross, still are able to
hold their own as the best all-round
growers. In carnations A. F. Dutton,
Iver, Bucks, showed by far the finest in
the American varieties and apart from
the orchids no other exhibit attracted
80 much attention as these. John
Waterer & Sons, Bagshot, Surrey, still
hold the premier place as growers of
rhododendrons, the finest plant in the
show being their new Pink Pearl.

Sutton & Sons, Reading, showed, as
they have done for many years, the finest
obtainable strains of calceolarias, gloxi-
nias and cinerarias. Carter & Co., of
Holborn, in the new Eschscholzia Car-
mine King have the finest thing of its
kind I ever have seen. In clematis G.
Jackman & Co., of Woking, are undoubt-
edly the leading growers. Their new
Jackniani rubra and Lady Northcliffe
will likely be fine commercial varieties.

Tn tulijjs of course the May flowering
varieties at this time of the vear were

heavily in evidence. At the pres-
ent time I think the finest and most ex-
tensive stock is held by Hogg & Robert-
son, of Dublin, Ireland. Alex Wilson,
of Spilsby, Lincolnshire, although not
yet a very extensive grower, shows the
finest individual blooms and I imagine
much more will be heard from this grow-
er in the near future. Ker & Sons,
Liverpool, appear to take first place in
amaryllis (hippeastrums).

In begonias no other strain excels that
of T. S. Ware, Ltd., Feltham, Middlesex,
especially in doubles. Henry Eckford,
Wem, Shropshire, still holds the finest
strains of commercial sweet peas, al-
though some of the strains from Watkins
& Simpson, of Tavistock street, London,
run all other commercial strains very
close. Reamsbotham & Co., Alderbor-
ough. Kings County, Ireland, had the
finest collection of St. Brigid anemone,
and their stock is the largest, although
Messrs. Gilbert, of Bourne, Lines., have
never been beaten with their variety.
King of the Scarlets.

The American fern, Nephrolepis ex-
altata Elegantissima, was shown by Mr.
Godfry, Exmouth, who obtained a first-
class certificate for it. This variety, to-
ge.-er with Nephrolepis exaltata Scottii,
will eventually make valuable commer-
cial sorts.

Paris green is now extensively used by
every class of grower, both inside and
out, and when mixed in proper propor-
tions no harm to any vegetation ever re-
sults. I have seen it used on maidenhair
ferns successfully for greenfly and for
the same trouble on roses, also on fruit
trees and bushes. This year red spider
has been exceptionally troublesome on
the fruit farms, also the violet planta-
tions and cucumber houses, but wherever
I have visited growers are busy with the
knapsack, spraying Paris green, and red
spider now has no terrors for them as
formerly. A few years ago sulphur was
the great remedy for spider, especially
on indoor growths, but the use of this
often caused much injury to the vegeta-
tion.

The society to foster the growth of
winter-flowering carnations in England
is now an actual fact, a dinner and meet-
ing to elect officers and form rules being
held last week in London.

It is stated in reference to obtaining
the brilliant blue coloring of Hydrangea
hortensis, in addition to alum waterings,
previously spoken of in these notes, if
some iron filings are placed over the
drainage, about one big handful, it will
give the brilliant blue coloring and also
make the bloom last some seven to ten
days longer in perfection than when
grown in the ordinary way. B. J.

VEGETABLES FOR EXHIBITION.

[A pappr by John Heeremiins, read Itefore the
Morris County Gardeners' and Florists' Club,
Madison. N. J., June i:{, 1006.]

The culture of vegetables, at all times
a most interesting study, becomes very
much more so when the object is the ex-
hibition table. As exhibitions at which
vegetables figure at all prominently are
held principally in the fall, I shall con-
fine these few remarks mainly to those
varieties which are in season at that
time of the year. Now, we shall say
that the exhibitor wishes to take a col-
lection of twelve varieties, which I con-
sider is ample to test the skill of any
person. The following I would consider
a good selection : celery, leeks, onions,
potatoes, carrots, beets, cauliflower, par-

snips, turnips, tomatoes, Brussels sprouts
and lettuce, or, should string beans, peas,
sweet corn or egg plant be available,
they would give a larger selection.

Undesirable Show Varieties.

Whatever varieties are chosen, they
should be good types of their respective
sorts, and not included in the collection
because they happened to be a poor dish
of peas out of season, to the exclusion
of a good dish of turnips, and so on.

Personally, I do not care much for
the squash family as exhibition vegeta-
bles. They represent no extra amount
of skill in their cultivation. Any one
with a manure heap can grow squash.
The same applies to some other varieties
that do not represent much skill; the
different sorts of spinach, including
Swiss chard, which I do not suppose one
person in a dozen will eat if anything
else is available. The oyster plant and
Jerusalem artichoke do not figure very
high as exhibition vegetables.

Methods of Culture.

You will notice that I placed celery
at the head of my list. There is no
vegtable, to my mind, that calls for
more skilful cultivation than first-class
celery. It should be large without being
pithy or hollow, have a good sized heart,
be well bleached and free from rust or
blemishes. A good time to sow the seed
for the product to be in good shape late
in October is in early May. I prefer to
sow in boxes and place in a greenhouse
in gentle heat. When ready, prick out
into coldframes or anywhere in four
or five inches of soil on a hard bottom,
where water is handy, for they require
lots of it. ^ue plants will be ready for
the open ground by the miduie of June,
and no opportunity of a showery day
should be lost in getting them out. If
the weather is at all dry, water must be
given in abundance if good results are
expected.

Large onions and leeks are very strong
exhibition vegetables, and their culture
is practically identical, except that the
leeks require earthing up to blanch them.
Onions and leeks cannot be too large for
show purposes, and to produce large
roots, very early sowing is indispensable.
February is none too soon to sow in
heat in a greenhouse. They must be
pricked off into boxes when large enough
to handle and kept growing on, gradu-
ally hardening off and planted out in
very rich soil in the garden in May.
These plants are gross feeders, and
must have very high cultivation to bring
them to a high state of perfection.

Potatoes for exhibition should be of
medium size, clear in the skin and have
shallow eyes. Very large specimens are
more than likely to be hollow in the
middle. Carrots and parsnips must be
large and have very clean skins and uni-
form, tapering roots. Beets and turnips
should be of medium size, inclining to
small rather than large, as big speci-
mens are useless except for feeding cat-
tle.

Cauliflower, a splendid vegetable, but
very difficult to get good in this section
of the country, should be of medium
size with very close and clean white
heads. Tomatoes must be of medium
size and very round, not corrugated, and
should be ripened on the plant. Brus-
sels sprouts, a very telling vegetable
when good, should be large and solid,
not open and ragged. Lettuce also must
lie large nnd very solid. j

June 28, 1906.

Preparation for Staging.

The whole collection should be pre-
sented on the exhibition table as fresh
as possible, and no pains should be
spared to have them so, for if wilted or
stale in any way, it would go severely
against them. Now, as to the manner
of staging. The collection should be
made as artistic as possible, not merely
a dish of each kind, placed on a bare
table in straight lines, for this method
does not appeal to me at all. Instead,
a background should be formed of the
larger kinds, and the smaller grouped in
front of them.

No receptacles, such as dishes, etc.,
are necessary. The whole group should
be nicely trimmed with fresh parsley,
and it is surprising, with the exercise
of a little ingenuity in arrangement,
what a beautiful eflfect can be produced,
even with a collection of vegetables.

In conclusion, I would strongly urge
young gardeners to give more attention
to the cultivation of vegetables than now
prevails. Gardeners are more equally
matched as regards equipment in this
line than in the culture of flowers and
fruits under glass. No costly green-
houses are necessary to produce, in sum-
mer and autumn, at any rate, the most
of the species. Good soil and some fer-
tilizer, and doing the work that is to
be done, at the right time — this is the
main point that leads to success. A gar-
dener that cannot produce good vege-
tables will find himself in difficulties with
his employer sooner or later, as the ma-
jority of thjm like something good to
eat as well 4ab' something pretty to ad-
mire in the way of plants and flowers.

ABOUT CUTWORMS.

One of the queries from the question
box, "How can cutworms be destroyed?"
gave place to a lively discussion at the
meeting of the Boston Gardeners' and
Florists' Club on June 19 and quite a
variety of remedial measures were sug-
gested. Charles Sander started the ball
rolling by stating that the surest way to
get rid of them is "to catch them by
the head and tail and separate them. ' ' C.
W. Ward said he uestroys them indoors
by sterilizing all his compost used in car-
nation houses. It also destroys all
aphis and he has very little red spider.
Thrips, however, will come in from
outdoors. Sterilization is expensive, but
he finds it pays. A. E. Parsons said
Paris green and fresh bran are relished
by the worms and he has used it to good
purpose. W. H. Elliott said they cause
him a tremendous amount of labor and
expense in his big asparagus houses.
As his plants stay in the houses an aver-
age of ten j'ears, sterilization cannot be
used there. He spends $400 to $500 a
year on a sort of Dalmation powder to
sprinkle around and he also employs a
man at night practically the year around
catching and destroying them from the
vines.

Peter Fisher said he has had one or
two severe attacks of them at intervals
of five years. He used Dalmatian pow-
der and found it works well. Kenneth
Finlayson said he has known gas lime
to be used outdoors by C. M. Atkinson
and others and it was claimed to be a
very excellent preventive. Duncan Fin-
layson said he has found that cutworms,
while they would eat onions ravenously,
seemed to have a cordial dislike for
Scotch soot; by sprinkling it on and
about carnations and other crops he
found the worms stopped there and went

to other parts of his garden. We tried
this latter remedy the past two seasons
and it certainly saves carnations and
violets from being chewed to pieces.

We used gas lime at the rate of 200
pounds per acre some years ago spread
broadcast in the fall and found it prac-
tically cleared out the pests. It is cer-
tainly worthy a trial by any who are
badly afflicted with cutworms. Hydro-
cyanic acid gas was tried by Peirce
Bros., of Waltham, last winter in their
large carnation houses. While it in-
jured the carnations a good deal, the
cutworms did not seem to mind it in
the least. Dragging a bag soaked in
kerosene through the rows of outdoor
plants will keep the pests away. The
bag needs soaking occasionally and, of
course, should not come in contact with
the plants. W. N. C.

Greenhouse Beating.

RADIATION REQUIRED.

Please tell me if two 2-inch overhead
flows and eleven 1 14 -inch returns, using
hot water, would be sufficient to heat a
house 22x100 to 60 degrees in zero
weather, with a twenty horse-power
boiler. L. G. B.

The eleven l^^-inch returns supplied
by 2-inch flows will not provide suf-
ficient radiation for the house in ques-
tion during severe weather. To maintain
a temperature of 60 degrees in the
house, with water at 180 degrees, four-
teen 114 -inch pipes will be necessary.
While the two 2-inch flows will have
just about capacity enough to carry
this amount of radiation, I believe that
one 3-inch flow, which provides about
100 feet more capacity than the two
2-inch lines, will give better satisfaction.
If for any reason the 3-inch riser cannot
be used, the two 2-inch risers will un-
doubtedly do the work. L. C. C.

OVERHEAD PIPING.

I would like to inquire what will be
the best method of heating three houses
with hot water, each 100 feet long and
fourteen feet six inches wide, without
partition walls. Gutters are six feet
above ground, ridge nine feet from
ground. The south wall contains thirty-
six inches of stationary glass; all
gables are built of glass and have sash
doors. The first house is about eight
feet away from the boiler.

The houses run east and west, and
are located east of another set of houses
running west. These two sections of
houses are connected with a shed eighteen
feet wide and nine feet high, running
north and south. As I intend to have
this shed slightly heated, I am thinking
of running the fiow and return pipes
through it from both new and old houses.

The houses are provided with solid
beds twelve inches from the ground. A
walk runs along each of the gutter posts,
and the beds on both sides are to be
tended from this walk, consequently I
do not wish to obstruct the passages be-
tween the posts.

Would I get full benefit from the heat
by putting the pipes on brackets direct-
ly under the gutters and having the flow
pipes suspended irom the ridge? The
houses have no support outside of gut-
ters, and have heavy wire to keep them
from spreading. I wish all piping ar-

ranged so that it will not interfere with
walks and doors. The walls of the houses
are built of sheathing, double-ply build-
ing paper and drop siding, glass 16x18,
top ventilation, I desire 50 or 52 de-
grees at 10 degrees below zero.

What size flows and returns do you
consider best, and how should they be
divided up? My idea was to start from
the boiler with a 4-inch flow and reduce
it to 3-inch for the third house, and sup-
ply each house with a 3-inch flow, run-
ning it to the highest point at the
farthest end. I intended to use 2-ineh
returns in the houses, and empty them
all into a 4-inch return through the shed
to the boiler.

I should have stated that, as there is
a walk along the south and north walls,
piping may be attached to posts at any
height, as far as obstruction is con-
cerned.

My boiler is located six feet below the
level of the greenhouses, and the present
expansion tank will not be as high as the
flow pipe at the highest point. It can't
be raised without raising the roof of
the shed; how would it do to connect
another expansion tank to the return of
the new houses in the adjacent shed?
This would bring it eight feet away
from the boiler." How large and high
should an expansion tank be supplying
eight houses each 17x85? C. C. W.

I have read with interest the plan you
propose for arranging the heating pipes
in your new houses. While I have never
observed a plant piped in this manner,
I see no reason why it should not give
satisfaction. The only objection I would
have to it is that the hot pipes would
be near the heads of the workmen, which
I fear would make it unpleasant.

To heat the houses that you propose
by the use of a flow pipe under the
ridge in each house and the returns
arranged on arms or brackets on either
side of the gutter, it will require a
21^-inch flow in each of the outside
houses and a 2-inch flow in the center
house. The outside houses should have
seven returns, four on the outside wall
and three on the brackets of the inside
gutter, that is, if 2-inch pipe is used.
The middle house can undoubtedly be
heated with five 2-inch returns, three on
the most exposed gutter and two on the
other. The pipes arranged in this man-
ner will obstruct some light, but prob-
ably not more than in any other position
by the overhead system. The 4-inch
main flow will be ample for the three
houses and can be reduced from four to
three inches after the middle house has
been passed. The expansion tank should
be large, connected direct to the main
return near the boiler and located sev-
eral feet, ten or twelve, above the high-
est point of the piping in the houses.
If the height of the present potting shed
will not suffice, place the tank on a plat-
form supported on the roof, and box
in the whole thing. The success of hot
water under such conditions will be de-
termined largely by the height of the ex-
pansion tank. A tank of fifty gallons
should be sufficient for this plant.

Columbus, O. — The Florists* Club
has decided to hold another chrysanthe-
mum show next fall. The members were
led to this decision, by the l^ge number
of requests received that they give
another such as they had last fall. The
show will probably be held in the city
hall in November.

BOSTON.

The Market

Business the last week showed a con-
siderable improvement over that of pre-
ceding weeks, thanks to calls for gradu-
ations, class days and weddings. At
present too much stock is arriving, but
the glut is less acute than a few weeks
ago. Some very good outdoor roses still
arrive, Jacqs, Brunners and Luizets be-
ing mostly seen. These make $2 to $6
per hundred. There is only a moderate
supply of Beauties, but enough for all
demands, and the same holds true of
all other indoor roses. Carnations vary
from 50 cents to $2 according to quality.
These are now arriving very small.
Sweet peas make good prices, anywhere
from 25 to 75 cents per hundred. The
outdoor supply is still limited to a few
Mont Blanc, Sunbeam and Earliest of
All, but the present week will see a big
flood of other varieties.

Peonies are over, A few pink varie-
ties at 25 cents to 35 cents per dozen
are the only remnants left. Lily of the
valley is in quite good demand at $2 to
$3 per hundred. Lilies and gladioli are
each rather scarce. Stocks, feverfew
and cornflowers are abundant. Sweet
Williams are abundant but no one seems
to want them. A few asters have ar-
rived, but not enough, however, to be
quotable.

Rose and Strawberry Exhibition.

While the dates selected for this show,
June 22 and 23, were a few days too
late for the immediate vicinity of Bos-
ton, there was a very nice display of
roses, the hybrid perpetuals being much
better than in 1905. As usual, the larg-
est individual exhibitor was M. H.
Walsh for the Miss S. B. Fay estate.
He staged some 1,500 blooms, of his
usual high quality, and captured many
first premiums. Other prizes went to
W. J. Clemson, J. O. Kristenson
gardener ; Mrs. E. M. Gill, John C. Chaf -
fin estate, and Mrs. J. L. Gardner, Wm.
Thatcher gardener.

The following were among the suc-
cessful exhibitors in the various rose
classes: Mrs. C. C. Converse, D. F. Eoy
gardener; Dr. C. G. Weld, W. C. Eust
gardener; Geo. F. Fabyan, James
Stuart gardener; Mrs. E. M. Gill, W. J.
Clemson, John C. ChaflBLn estate, Mrs.
A. W. Blake, J. L. Smith gardener, and
E. L. Lewis. There were a number of
miscellaneous collections not for compe-
tition from F. L. Ames estate, W. N.
Craig gardener; Mrs. A. W. Blake, W.
J. Clemson, and others.

In white varieties Frau Karl Druschki
was finely shown by Walsh and several
others. Margaret Dickson was largely
exhibited. It seems to do well with
neariy every one. The following other
sorts were especially well shown: Mrs.
J. Laing, Duke of Teck, Ards Eover,
Mme. Gabriel Luizet, Faul Neyron,
Prince Camille de Rohan, Baron de
Bonstettin, Clio, Mrs. Sharman Craw-
ford, Ulrich Brunner, Magna Charta,
Anne de Diesbach and Baroness Eoths-
child.

W. Whitman had the best eighteen
vases of sweet williams. Dr. C. G. Weld
second, Wilfrid W^heeler third. Although
no classes for peonies were provided
there was a big display of these popular
flowers, the blooms being much better
than those seen a week previous at the
regular peony show. T. C. Thurlow &
Co. filled a table over fifty feet long

with seventy-five varieties. Many of
these were in large vases and the whole
made a beautiful exhibit. Especially
good were Marquis de Lory, Courrone
d'Or, M. Dupont, Mme. Geissler, Venus,
Mile. Eousseau and Lady Alexandra
Duff. E. J. Shaylor had an excellent
stand of late varieties. Among them
were Baroness Schrceder, Mile. Emile
Lemoine, and Harry Woodward. Dr.
D. S. Minot had thirty varieties, in-
cluding Milton Hill, a beautiful soft
pink, Albatre and Albert Crouse. In
George Hollis' collection were about
thirty seedlings, some of much merit.
Lucy E. Hollis, a large, flat bloom, deep
pink in color, was one of the gems of
the show. A. H. Fewkes, Mrs. E. M.
Gill and others contributed peonies.

Mount .Desert Nurseries, Bar Harbor,
Me., had a large collection of German
and other irises and a dozen fine spikes
of eremuri. Mrs. J. L. Gardner, Wm.
Thatcher gardener, had a beautiful
group of Canterbury bells in 10-inch

The first insertion of the advertise-
ment in

would have been plenty, for we got
enough orders through it to take all
the stock we had. We should have
wired to head off the second issue, for
we have been kept busy since return-
ing money for orders we could not fill.

pots. These showed splendid culture.
Another good lot came from Mrs. A. W.
Blake. Blue Hiil Nurseries 'had an ex-
tensive display of hardy perennials. A
smaller collection came from Mrs. J. B.
Lawrence. Oakes Ames, Sabin Bolton
gardener, received a certificate of merit
for Cypripedium I'Ansoni (C. Boths-
childianum x C. Morganise). Walter
Hunnewell, T. O. Hatfield gardener, had
an interesting collection of fourteen
varieties of summer blooming chrysan-
themums. Some of the best were:
Horace Martin, Mons Nonin, Emily
Grunnerwald, Bobbie Burns, Ideal, Fire-
light, and Balph Curtis, awarded a
bronze medal. The same exhibitor
showed roses Lenchstern and Bubin.

Marshall was once more invincible
among the strawberries. The most prom-
ising new variety was Golden Gate,
Marshall x Bubach, shown by Samuel H.
Warren, of Weston. The fruit was as
large and firm as Marshall, not so dark
in color, but claimed to produce several
times the crop of that variety. It is the
most promising seedling shown for years
and should be in big demand.

Various Note*.

Walter Angus, of Andover, in charge
of the Stevens estate, leaves there to
manage the Lyman estate in Waltham.

He is succeeded by George Westland,
late of Mount Auburn cemetery.

Some convention talk is now being in-
dulged in and it looks as though Boston
would send a good delegation to Day-
ton.

At the last meeting of the Gardeners'
and Florists' Club Alfred Poetsch waa
the exhibitor of the fine new heliotrope,
Frau Lederle, receiving a report of
merit. The same exhibitor showed Im-
patiens Holstei x Sultani, good either
for culture in pots or bedding. Julius
Heurlin showed Peony Jennie Lind and
the Golden Acer Negundo Odessianum.

Daniel Iliffe reports business in his
line as exceptionally good, he having on
hand more than double the work he
had a year ago. Some of his contracts
are greenhouses for Mrs. S. V. B. Cros-
by, Manchester, and Mrs. Joshua Crane,
Westwood. He is supplying iron work
for three houses 40x250, being built by
Doburn & Shannon, at Woburn, to be
used for violets and carnations, and for
one 40x275 for Howard, of West New-
ton.

J. Walsh & Son, Melrose, furnished
the decorations for the Morgan-Nevins
nuptials at Methuen, and they were pro-
nounced among the most beautiful seen
in that section for a long time. They
used among other stock 3,000 Bichmond
and Beauty roses, also quantities of
Dorothy Perkins, fifty dozen peonies,
3,000 yards of laurel and a carload of
palms.

Maurice Fuld succeeds H. E. Fiske as
manager for W. W. Eawson & Co. He
has been in the firm about three years
and was formerly with E. & J. Farquhar
& Co.

The Gardeners ' and Florists ' Club will
hold another field day at the establish-
ment of William Sim, Cliftondale, on
June 30. A train leaves the North
Union station at 2 p. m. Electric cars
also can be taken. A large delegation
is expected to attend and see this well
kept and up-to-date place.

The garden committee of the Massa-
chusetts Horticultural Society visited the
peony garden of Dr. C. S. Minot, of
Eeadville, on June 21. The collection
embraces about 300 varieties and many
of the later sorts were found in fine
condition.

The next show at Horticultural hall
occurs on July 7. Hardy roses, del-
phiniums, pentstemons, Iris Kaempferi,
campanulas and hardy herbaceous plants
will be special features.

There are 254 entries for the prizes
given by the Massachusetts Horticul-
tural Society this year for children's
gardens. Sixty per cent are from boys.
There are also numerous entries for
school gardens. An exhibition of their
products will be held on July 7.

Bichmond, Ind. — G. R. Gause reports
business the last season as good, spring
plant trade especially so. Bedding plants
sold well, especially geraniums. Outdoor
stock is badly in need of a good rain,
as it is very dry in this vicinity.

Springfield, Ohio. — Local florists,
among whom are C. L. Beese, Aldrich

LIKES »£»« BOTH.

A correspondent writes: "When Mr.
Teufel called yesterday he said he liked
me 80 well and the Review so much bet-
ter that he would subscribe for five years
ahead, and handed me $5. Of course I
did not refuse the money. Dollars to
doughnuts you cannot beat that."

GENERAL BUSINESS.

"Trade in general merchandise whole-
sale and jobbing lines," says a financial
review, "showed more activity the last
week, in many instances, than is cus-
tomary at this season. The large volume
of reorders as well as the unusual
amount of forward bookings caused an
abnormally brisk business in many lines
which as a general thing are dull at this
season.

"Sales of fall goods were satisfactory
in nearly all branches of business, and
there was no let-up reported in the dis-
tribution of seasonable goods. Railway
earnings showed a marked increase com-
pared to the same week last year, indi-
cating a continued heavy movement of
general merchandise. Grain marketings
were larger, especially corn. The move-
ment of this cereal, both from first hands
and for shipment east, was particularly
heavy, and indications pointed to a still
heavier business the coming week.

' ' The wholesale trade in provisions
was active, shipments of cured meats
being about fifty per cent larger than
during the corresponding week of last
year. Lard shipments also were large.

DUTY ON BIRCH BARK.

F. B. Vandegrift & Co. protested at
the rate of duty assessed at Chicago
on an importation of birch bark, and
have established their contention that the
rate should be ten per cent of the value.

The protest related to birch bark in
bales, the bark being cut in sizes con-
venient for shipment. It was classified
as wood unmanufactured under para-
graph 198, tariff act of 1897. One of
the contentions made by the importers
was that it was dutiable under section 6
as an unenumerated unmanufactured
article.

McClelland, general appraiser, June 15
held that "considering the common un-
derstanding which exists regarding the
distinction between bark and wood, the
provision distinctly made for these two
materials in the wood and drug schedules
of the tariff act and the^ board decisions
that bark is not wood, we think the claim
in the protest that the merchandise is
dutiable at the rate of ten per cent ad
valorem is well taken. ' '

CATERPILLARS ON FERNS.

I am having trouble with caterpillars
on my ferns. The worms are about an
inch long, and are similar to the common
cabbage worm. Most of them are light
green; a few are brown or jet black.
They attack the young ferns first, and
then eat the tips of the young fronds.
What insecticide should I use, and in
what form? Should it be an arsenical
solution of some kind! B. E.

almost any kind of tender vegetation.
There would be much risk of injury to
the ferns in the use of arsenical prepara-
tions for this trouble; either solutions
or powders containing arsenic in suf-
ficient quantity to kill the worms would
be liable to burn such tender foliage. I
would suggest dusting the ferns with
powdered hellebore, this being a vege-
table poison that has little or no effect
on the foliage, but is sure death to
the currant worm. It is most likely to
prove effective in this case.

LILIUM LONGIFLORUM.

What will be the right time to plant
Lilium longiflorum multiflorum? I want
them for cold storage, to be used at
Christmas, also some for Easter. The
house will be kept at 58 to 60 degrees
at night. H. F.

It is not very often that this diflSculty
is met with, but these caterpillars are
hungry feeders, and are liable to attack

This will depend on the temperature
you give them, but as all cold-storage
plants and bulbs are anxious to flower
as soon as released from the arrestment,
it should not take more than from ten
to twelve weeks to have them in flower
at Christmas. We have never tried to
flower cold-storage bulbs as late as that
date and believe the bulbs are not satis-
factory when kept in cold storage after
August. To have this popular lily in
bloom in August, September and October
we must depend on the cold-storage
bulbs, but for December and later the
new bulbs are quite satisfactory, and
bulbs (the new crop) received in July
will force easily for Christmas. Pot as
soon as received and get them well
rooted out of doors and covered with
some decayed light material to keep
them from continual drying out. Re-
move to the houses in early September
and during October and November they
should be given a temperature of 70 de-
grees, and if you want them by Thanks-
giving they will bear 10 or 15 degrees
higher; most of them in 70 degrees will
be in flower at Christmas.

For Easter the Japan grown bulbs are
now used almost exclusively. They
seldom arrive too eatly and can be
potted at once, placed in coldframes and
protected from heavy rains by sashes or
shutters. The first of December is soon
enough to give them the heat of the
greenhouse. The temperature you quote
is about right for the last two months
before Easter. As Easter is a movable
date and varies as much as thirty days
you must use judgment about tempera-
ture and condition of your plants.

Tajieytown, N. Y. — The annual rose
and strawberry show of the Tarrytown
Horticultural Society took place June
14. Most of the private estates contri-
buted and the result was a most pleas-
ing exhibition.

Milwaukee, Wis.— The C. C. Poll-
worth Co. has recently received four car-
loads of palms imported direct. J. E.
Pollworth says that in all their expe-
rience they never have received imported
stock in more satisfactory condition.

Bound Brook, N. J.j— Anton C.
Zvolanek reports a heavy hailstorm
June 23, coming from the northwest.
The stones were an inch and a half in
diameter, and did much damage to green-
houses around Plainfield, N. J. At
Bound Brook, the town is protected by
mountains to the northwest, and the
storm did little damage.

Beauties. ••

Our Beauties are easily the best in this market and we
believe it will be difficult to find their equal anywhere in the
United States in this warm weather. They are in every way
as good as our famous crop last summer — and most Beauty
buyers know what that means. Mostly long stems.

PEONIES — We handle the best stock in town — choicest varieties,
cut right, bunched right, handled right — in any quantity.
Will have them all through June.

KAISERINS — The Kaiserin is the only really good summer rose.
We have them in large quantity — fine stock in every respect.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

In the cut flower market the total
of sales has been footing up a fair
figure during the last week, but there
is an absence of life in the demand
which is discouraging to the wholesalers.
Country orders are fairly numerous, but
the city buyers are listless; they do not
seem to care whether or not they get
the stock they ask for. They are al-
most unanimous in reporting the busi-
ness this June as not so good as a year
ago, and quite a number of the whole-
salers concur. Those who are able to
report an increase are the ones who are
fortunate in having some special crop,
as Beauties or summer roses, or an
especially good lot of peonies.

The supply of Beauties has not in-
creased to any considerable degree, but
demand has fallen away so that there
are now ample quantities for all and
prices were weakening when, on Tues-
day, a bracing was apparent. Kaiserin
sells Mell although some good Brides are
now seen. A number of houses are cut-
ting roses from young stock and a
steady if slow improvement in quality
may be anticipated. Liberty continues
to afford large crops for several
growers.

Carnations are much less plentiful
than a week ago, and quality averages
a little better because the houses which
were yielding poor stock have been
thrown out preparatory to replanting.
Prices are, therefore, averaging better
than last week.

The peony is still the leading flower.
Some of those in cold storage are not

keeping well and are being rushed on
the market, but there is every prospect
for all the peonies the trade can use
prior to July 15. Prices have taken a
tumble, although some special fancy
stock still makes 75 cents and occasion-
ally $1 per dozen; 25 to 50 cents is the
popular range.

Monday morning brought large re-
ceipts of candidum lilies, which were
started off at $1 per bunch of fifty
flowers. There are more longiflorums
than are needed. Auratum is plentiful
but not pressing for a market. Pond
lilies, which have sold well, are now
down to the summer price of 25 cents
per bunch. The push for valley has
subsided. Gladioli are seen in consid-
erable quantity and are not brisk sellers.

There is abundance of green stock of
all kinds.

Early Closing.

Beginning next Monday, July 2, all
the wholesale cut flower and supply
houses will close at 5 p. m. Those who
want stock should bear this fact in
mind and get in their orders in season.

Mail Deliveries.

Monday morning several wholesalers
received mail orders for stock which
should have been shipped on Sunday.
Investigation shows the following con-
dition will prevail until September 1:
The post-office makes no delivery Satur-
day after 12 o'clock. The mail to be
had by calling for it Sunday morning
is only that which reached the post-
office Saturday afternoon. The mail re-
ceived on Sunday is not distributed until
Monday morning; even that mail reach-
ing the city Saturday afternoon is not

to be had until 11:30 Sunday morning,
which is almost too late for the whole-
salers to do anything in the matter ol
supplying stock.

Cold Storage.

The cold-storage warehouse is becom-
ing an important adjunct of the flower
business. First it was only hardy ferns
which were stored, but now all sorts
of green stuff are»kept indefinitely under
colli storage. For a half dozen years
the storing of peonies has been an im-
portant detail of the season 's business.
Last year the A. K Eandall Co. stored
a large part of the season's cut of
candidum lilies and found it so success-
ful that the same operation is being
done this year. Candidums are put in
with the peonies, at about 34 to 36 de-
grees, and will keep nearly a month in
salable, useable condition.

Poehlmann Bros. Co. is using a cold-
storage warehouse for longiflorum lilies.
They do not undertake to keep them
more than a few days, but whenever they
get an accumulation at the store, they
run them over to the warehouse until
the pressure lets up. These, too, go
in with the peonies.

Florists' Club's Picnic.

The Chicago Florists' Club held its
most successful picnic at Joliet, Sunday,
June 24. Nearly 200 people went down
on the special train at 9:45 over the
C. R. I. & P. The special was delayed
about an hour, due to a freight wreck
on the road. Finally Cherry Hill was
reached and the party was met by seven
large wagons especially fitted up for
the occasion, which made a tour of about
four miles through the Forest of Arden,

and around the beautiful estate of Mr.
Higinbotham. Arrived at the picnic
grounds which had been especially se-
lected for the occasion, lunch was spread,
during which ice cream and various
drinks were served by the committee.
The sports then began and much en-
joyment was derived, both by partici-
pants and spectators. Valuable prizes
were provided for the winners in each
event. P. J. Foley presented the prizes
and tried to get a number of the ladies
to make speeches, but they were too busy
comparing notes on their trophies.

It was conceded by all who have at-
tended the club outings of the past to
be the most successful outing the club
has ever given. Everybody enjoyed
himself and much credit should be given
the entertainment committee for its hard
work in bringing about such a success-
ful aflfair. Also the thanks of the club
should be extended to Mr. Higinbotham
for his kind invitation to use his
grounds, and much credit is due Mr.
Hartshorne for the admirable arrange-
ments made. Just before the train
started for the return trip three cheers
were given for Mr. Hartshorne and they
were given with a will.

The winners in the different events
were as follows:

Basebnll game, Wholesalers, 19; Retailers, 10;
trophy, a silver cup.

Race for boys under 16, Edgar Winterson first,
I.eo Simon second.

Race for girls under 16, Ruth Simmons first,
Florence Ferguson second.

Race for married ladies, Mrs. L. H. Winter-
son, Mrs. McKee, Mrs. BallufT and Mrs. Weir-
man each were awarded a prize, as the referee
declared It a dead heat.

Race for girls over 16, Miss M, Dupree first,
MlES O. A. Tonner second.

Sack race, Julius Haskins first, James McKcaml
second.

Men's 100-yard dash, J. Haskins first, A. E.
F'bcling second.

P'at men's race, John Poehlmann first. .Mr.-
llelnleln second.

■ Broad jump, Mr. Koropp first. Mr. Hirsrh sec-
ond.

Special event, babies' race, Beatrice Asmus
first; prize, a gold ring.

Various Notes.

The superior court has reversed a
judgment of $1,500 against the Mount
Greenwood Cemetery. July 12, 1901, a
lady walking across-lots in the cemetery
.stepped into an open pipe and sustained
injuries for which she sued for damages.
The lower court found for her, but the
higher court sustained Mr. Eudd 's con-

tention that any one departing from the
beaten paths does so at his own risk.

J. E. Jensen has received word that
his partner, J. S. Dekema, has arrived
safely at his old home in Europe where
he will visit for a couple of months.

Three local wholesalers and at least

three local growers ride in their own

automobiles. One of the gentlemen says

he never has had the throttle on his

rather surprising in view of the fact
that he is a commission man, and com-
mission men may generally be counted
on to run things at full pressure. How-
ever, it may be said that at half speed
the machine is capable of doing a num-
ber of things to the legal limit.

Sharp, Partridge & Co. have been do-
ing a fine business in greenhouse glass
this season and have been compelled to
seek larger quarters. They have re-
moved their warehouse to 2264 and 2272
Lumber street, where they have excep-
tional facilities for handling their trade.
They make a specialty of greenhouse
glass and Lester E. Partridge, who is

widely known to the trade, says he is
more than satisfied with the season's
business. Glass factories have gone out
of blast for the season and Sharp,
Partridge & Co. take much pleasure in
the fact that they have 4,000 boxes of
greenhouse sizes still in the warehouse.

Wietor Bros, are planting quite a
number of a new pink chrysanthemum
named Cash. It speaks for ready money
in October.

Will Kyle of the J.'B. Deamud Co.,
says that they have as yet felt no let-up
in the demand.

F. C. Struvy returned a fortnight ago
from his trip to California. His daugh-
ter's wedding took place last week.

E. E. Pieser says that although the
Xennicott Bros. Co. has more peonies
in storage than ever before at so late
a date, he never felt more confident of
a satisfactory clean-up.

A. L. Bandall Co. is receiving its an-
nual crop of candidum lilies from L.
M. McClave, St. Joseph, Mich. The qual-
ity is superior.

Kanson Kennicott fell down the ele-
vator shaft at the Western Cold Storage
warehouse one day last week. Fortun-
ately the fall was only a few feet, but
he has been laid up ever since.

A. Kennicott & Son expect to be sold
out of peonies before the end of this
week.

Matt Mann is sending some superior
Ivawson carnations to Zech & Mann.
His crop of red gladioli was unsatis-
factory again this year, about half com-
ing blind.

StoUery Bros, are sending a large crop
of candidum lilies to the Chicago Kose
Co. ,

John Sinner and X. J. Wietor started
Tuesday evening for their fortnight's
piscatorial expedition.

George Wagner, in speaking of the
falling off in the local retail trade, says
that people who formerly used flowers
for dinners, receptions, etc., are now
spending their time automobiling.

Bassett & Washburn report an ex-
ceptionally good June, due to their large
cut of summer rose^,

Weiland & Kisch are cutting some fine
Brides and Maids for summer. Mr.
Risch, Sr., has been laid up with rheu-
matism for a week.

E. H. Hunt's are showing the silver
cup won by the wholesalers at Sunday's
ball game". They had two men on the
team. The retailers already have asked
for a return match.

Vaughan & Sperry say that next year
they will have more peonies. For a
month the peony is king of this market.

E. F. Winterson Co. reports quite
satisfactory results with peonies. Two
late crops totaled 116,000 buds. All
had to be rebunched and it made a lot
of work.

Jens Jensen, superintendent of the
west parks, has recommended John Al-
gots to succeed P. H. Bapp as super-
intendent of small parks, and he has a
temporary appointment. Mr. Algots was
formerly gardener for Mrs. Pullman, but
resigned about four years ago to go into
the hardware business.

must be sent to their homes.

The Market

The cut flower trade last week was
fairly busy in retail circles, with work
for the last of the school closings and
a few late weddings. This week we ex-
pect to see midsummer conditions fully
established among the retailers all over
the city. From reports around the
wholesale houses Monday morning there
was practically nothing going on, and
funeral work is about all that any of
us expect.

The receipts of flowers at the whole-
sale houses have fallen off, especially
in first-class roses, and enough of the
others come in to supply the light de-
mand. With the exception of a few
special Beauties there is practically no
fixed value on roses. Ammann is still
sending some extra fine Ivory, which
find ready sale.

There are still a fair lot of carna-
tions coming in, white and Enchantress.
Lawson is coming in poor, very much
off in color and ooesn 't bring over $1
per hundred. Sweet peas are many and
in all varieties, and are selling very low-
in large lots. Fancy long in lavender
and white find ready sale, while short
mixed colors are jobbed off cheap. Lily
of the valley is selling slowly. A few

asters are coming in and sell well.
Other outdoor stock is slow. Fancy
ferns are scarce with a good demand.

Variooi Notes.

George Windier, who has been very
sick for the last six weeks, is out again
and his many friends in the trade are
pleased to see him.

W. J. Pilcher has sold his place in
Kirkwood to August P. Schiedegger,
who was formerly employed by Venne-
man at Kirkwood. Mr. Schiedegger will
continue growing carnations, violets and
sweet peas for the local trade.

C'. C. Sanders, Frank A. Weber and
•T. H. Schuette, our nurserymen who at-
tended the Dallas convention, returned
home Thursday morning much pleased
with their trip. What pleased them most
was the badger game, as played by Col.
S. E. Moss. Frank Weber was seen to
take notes of the game and it may be
that it will be played at the club's out-
ing next month.

William Bouche, the landscape
gardener, has the Park View place on
Delmar in fine shape. The results show
Mr. Bouche to be one of the best men
in the city for that kind of work.

E. W. Guy, of Belleville, was over
on Saturday buying a big lot of sweet
peas for a wedding order.

OBITUARY.

J. P. Coco, Jr., Lexington, Mo.

John Peter Coen, Jr., aged nearly 50
years, died June 24. He was the son
of Mr. and Mrs. John P. Coen and
was born in Albany, N. Y., November
4, 1856. The family came to Lafayette
county a few years later. In 1888 Mr.
Coen was married to Miss Charlotte
Johanna Voigt, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. P. W. Voigt, of Hous^jiia, Mis-
souri.

In 1888 Mr. Coen engaged in the busi-
ness of florist, his first place of busi-
ness being on Twenty-fourth street near
South. About twelve years ago he built
a home on South Eighteenth street and
greatly enlarged his business, which he
has conducted with eminent success.
Close application to his work began to
tell on his health several years ago, and
\ though he sought every available means
of relief, he grew steadily worse. For
nearly a year he has entertained but
little hope of his recovery. Mr. Coen
was highly esteemed in the community
as a man of fraternal spirit and as a
business man of integrity and ability.
E. D. Ellsworth.

De Haven, Pa. — John L. Wyland says
he will cease growing roses and devote
all his glass to carnations.

GLEN COVE, N. Y.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Nassau County Horticultural Society
was hel'd Wednesday evening, June 13,
with President Harrison in the chair.
The meeting was well attended. Two
new members were elected and one nomi-
nated to active membership. In this
respect the society is most progressive,
as at every monthly meeting since its
formation new members have been
elected.

The floral exhibits this month were
confined chiefly to roses, of which some
grand blooms were staged. The prize
for twelve varieties of outdoor grown
roses was awarded to H. F. Meyers. In
the scale of points class, A. Mackenzie
scored ninety-eight points with a vase
of delphiniums, collection of strawberries
and dish of peaches; L. Trepess, ninety-
six and two-thirds for vases of carna-
tions, Canterbury bells and roses; I.
Swen, eighty-three for lettuce; and C.

Lenker, seventy-eight for peonies and
roses.

C. Bertanzel gave some interesting and
practical remarks on growing American
Beauty roses, which were attentively
heard. They will be followed at the
next meeting by a more exhaustive paper
on the same subject.

A box of cigars for sweet peas in three
varieties, twenty-five of each, will be
competed for at the next meeting.

SCARBORO, N. Y.

The F. E. Pierson Co. plant at Scar-
boro is well worth a visit nowadays and,
with its addition of over thirty acres
of nursery and the cleaning up and
planting of these, combined with the
erection of two enormous greenhouses
containing some 50,000 square feet of
glass, the busy scene is a revelation.
The purchase of the real estate was a
most profitable enterprise, its value
literally doubling in a night. The view
up and down the Hudson from its eleva-
tion is entrancing. The new houses will
make a plant of nearly a quarter of a
million square feet under glass. The
Winsor carnation will be extensively
grown and the White Lawson and Helen
Gould largely, with Mr. Pierson 's other
specialties, but Winsor will get the lion's
share.

In the nursery are grand specimens of
retinospora, Japanese maples, blue
spruce and everything else of value in
the ornamental line. Mr. Pierson will
have a fine exhibit at Dayton. His work
with the schools and philharmonic and
other societies make him one of the
busiest men in Tarrytown. Samuel Mur-
ray, of Kansas City, was a visitor here
June 22. J. A. S.

SCRANTON, PA.

An involuntary petition in bankruptcy
was filed June 18 against F. W. Wilson,
trading at 411 Spruce street, as the Re-
liable Seed and Floral Co. The petition
was filed by Attorney A. V. Bower, who
represents J. L. Dillon, the Roseville
Pottery Co., the Foote *& Shear Co., and
others. Wilson admits his insolvency
and declares that he will not oppose the
petition.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market

There is a fair amount of business at
times, but the tendency is towards dull-
ness. The supply is falling off rather
faster than the demand. These ideas
sum up briefly the conditions as seen in
the wholesale centers. Compared with
past years there is rather more business
than usual during the last of June.
While the quality of stock coming in is
below that of two weeks ago, there is
still a fair amount of flowers of good
grade. Among the roses, Kaiaerin,
Bridesmaid, Liberty and Beauty are
best. Among the carnations, Ethel
Crocker, Mrs. Lawson, Prosperity, Gov.
Wolcott, Boston Market, and Flora Hill
are the leading sorts. Cattleyas are
fine. Valley is also good. Sweet peas,
from late sown seed, are at their best,
the colors being very fine. Irises can
be had in quantity. There are some
caudidum lilies about. Shipping busi-
ness is fairly good.

Various Notes.

D. Fuorstenberg, president of the
Floral Exchange, heartily endorses
Phil 's use of the word ' ' profession, ' ' as
applied to florists. Mr. Fuerstenberg
believes that ours is a profession, the
various branches requiring knowledge of
art, literature, science, chemistry, ento-
mology, etc., as applied to the growth
and disposal of plants and flowers.

D. T. Connor has secured for the Lord
& Burnham Co. an order from the Wil-
mington and Brandywine Cemetery Co.
to build a greenhouse 20x50 feet, and
also to heat their present plant. As Mr.

Connor aptly says, he is very much alive.

The steamers Polanza and Manitou
have reached port this week with large
consignments of fall novelties for H.
Bayersdorfer & Co.

The advance in the price of ice ia quite
an item of increased expense to florists
during the summer.

The wholesale price of tin-foil and wire
is advancing, owing to the conditions in
the metal market.

Arthur A. Niessen has been appointed
trustee for the estate of Charles P.
Poryzees, bankrupt.

M. Kice reports that there is a gen-
eral awakening abroad and that the cost
of merchandise is continually advancing,
but owing to the large orders he placed,
he succeeded in buying goods at at-
tractive prices and getting control of
some exclusive novelties.

The Florists' Club is planning a re-
ception to Hugh Dickson, of Belfast,
Ireland, who is the guest of Eobert Scott
& Son.

Herbert G. Tull, treasurer of the
Henry A. Dreer Co., met with a sad
loss last week, in the death of his son,
a lad of 16 years. A shocking railroad
accident was the cause.

John Lucas & Co. advise intending
purchasers of glass to secure at once
what may be needed during the summer.
The conditions in the glass market point
to further advances.

Through a clerical error last week,
the price of cattleyas in Samuel S. Pen-
nock 's card appeared as 40 cents per
dozen instead of 40 cents each.

Charles Henry Fox has experienced an
excellent demand for choice stock at his

artistic Sign of the Eose. His manager,
William Harry, states that business has
lasted longer this season than usual.

Florists generally believed that their
coal bills would be much smaller during
the season of 1905 and 1906 than for
many years previous. A very cold spring
made the saving less than was antici-
pated.

The Leo Niessen Co. is receiving choice
Spanish irises, blue, white and yellow,
and large white irises.

Charles E. Meehan moved his family
to Ocean City, N. J., last Thursday.

Frank Ely, manager of the seed de-
partment for the Henry F. Michell Co.,
is arranging more commodious quarters
on the second floor of the company's
store at 1018 Market street, where his
department will have increased facilities,
made necessary by the growth of the
business.

Everybody has been asking William J.
Muth whether he is any relation to
Freddie.

M. Rice & Co. close at 5 p. m. on
weekdays and 1 p. m. on Saturdays dur-
ing the summer. Phil.

A meeting of the stockholders of the
Robert Craig Co. was held Monday
afternoon, June 25. The report showed
the business to be in a healthy condition
and a semiannual dividend of three per
cent was declared, payable June 30. The
following officers and directors were
elected: President, Eobert Craig; vice-
president, George Craig; secretary and
treasurer, Eobert A. Craig; directors,
H. F. Michell, Charles Keller, Samuel
C. Donoghue, George Craig and Eobert

NEV YORK.

The Market.

Business was pretty fair last week,
especially towards the end. All good
stock brought fair prices. There wasn't
much of it. The weddings were abun-
dant and will be this week. One retailer
said it was the best June he ever bad,
and all the retailers have been busy.
This week should be the banner one of
the month. All the schools are closing.
The steamer travel is enoymous. All the
big boats are crowded and every one of
them has oceans of flowers when it sails
away.

Beauties hold well, all things consid-
ered, the shipments being large and the
demand from out of town stronger than
usual. There must be some weddings in
Baltimore, Philadelphia, Buffalo and
other villages. Orchids, too, are called
for continually. Arthur Newell says the
bon tons out Kansas City way are be-
ginning to ask for them.

New York 's orchid market will be none
too well supplied for the call as the
months roll on. In a year I predict the
use of double the quantity grown today.
There never will be a surplus of good
orchids. Carrillo & Baldwin, over in Se-
cAucus, have had some fine importations
and are moving along rapidly at their
new place there. McManus handles
daily the fine shipments of Lager & Hur-
rell.

Brides and Maids were firm and
scarce. On Saturday, $4 per hundred
was easily obtained for good stock. Car-
nations, too, advanced quite a little, good
flowers touching $1.50 readily. The sup-
ply is decreasing. Plenty of branches
of Crimson Ramblers are here and only
sell when well flowered and brilliant in
color.

The south is again in evidence with
gladioli in fine condition. They go rap-
idly and at fair prices. Soon the local
growers will have their innings. The
water lilies are expected daily.

Lilies are in every window, superb
stock generally, some, however, showing
the effects of the heat and too soft for
endurance. The price is below expecta-
tions.

Everybody must be growing sweet
peas. They are very abundant and prices
have retrograded fifty per cent. Peonies
have departed. All the popular ferns

of these are on exhibition.

Various Notes.

Small's window is fitted up as a water
lily display, with fountain effect and a
beautiful collection of all the best va-
rieties in many colors that prove a con-
stant attraction to the passing crowd.

"Van Praag has introduced combination
baskets of flowers and fruit that sell
very rapidly and are most temptingly ar-
ranged.

Donohoe reports a great demand for
steamer baskets and boxes, from out of
town as well as locally, and has had some
busy weeks in this department since the
exodus to Europe began.

J. M. Keller and family, of Bay Ridge,
arrive this week from their European
tonr by the steamer Frederick der
Grosse.

Frank H. Traendly, of Traendly &

Schenck, has purchased a beautiful home
at 991 Ocean avenue, Brooklyn, where
he and his family are now residing.

J. M. Thorburn & Co. are busy moving
into their big store on Barclay street,
next door to the Yokohama Nursery Co.
and Ehotert & Sons, and across the way
from H. Frank Darrow, successor to Aug.
Ehotert, and not far from H. H. Berger
& Co., Stumpp & Walter Co. and Balph
M. Ward & Co. Concentration seems to
be the watchword here.

J. J. Perkins & Son have their big
ice-box established at 50 West Twenty-
eighth street and will be ready for busi-
ness there on July 1. Geo. Cotsonas &
Co. say the move to this address has al-
ready proved most satisfactory. Close
at hand is A. J. Fellouris & Co., and
across the street N. Lecakes & Co. Here,
too, the fern and galax men demonstrate
the value of concentration.

the wholesalers and retailers material-

general progress in this direction. It is
time and if the majority will have the
courage of its opinions the recalcitrants
will soon follow.

Nearly everybody is going to the out-
ing Monday. Those who fail, young or
old, will miss "the time of their lives."
The program of sports is large and the
prizes are liberal. All the children are
to be especially remembered. The ladies'
bowling experts, fifteen of them, will win
mementoes worth preserving. Some $250
altogether will be distributed during
the afternoon. Tugs of war, baseball
games and every kind of race will be
pulled off. Music and dancing, swimming
and a big dinner with a delightful sail
up the sound leave nothing, to be desired.

representation is still an enigma. Never
was so little interest taken in the sport
as this season. J. Austin Shaw.

DAVENPORT, lA.

The members of the Tri-City Florists'
Association were entertained June 14,
afternoon and evening, by Adolph Arp
and H. G. Bryant, the new proprietors
of the Davenport Nursery. The florists
spent several hours going over the 100
acres of land occupied by the establish-
ment and were greatly surprised at its
magnitude. Supper was served at Mr.
Bryant's home and in the evening a
regular meeting was held. A greater
portion of the time was taken up by
the members in telling of the sunny sides
of their business. Sam Horton and sev-
eral others entertained the members by
relating humorous incidents they had en-
countered during their experience and
the evening was very much enjoyed.
Further plans for the picnic which the
association will hold at the "Watch Tower
June 28 were also made.

Stevens Point, Wis. — W. E. Macklin
has announced that his greenhouse will
be closed on Sunday afternoons during
the summer months, and only funeral
orders will be filled.

NORTHERN TEXAS.

Weather conditions are much better
than earlier in the season. The ele-
ments seem to be getting down to their
regular habits. Carnations in the field
are in fine condition, and young roses are
coming along nicely. Sweet peas are
nearly all in, while asters are just com-
ing in. Vincas, the staple crop here for
funeral work, are commencing to
bloom, as are also tuberoses and gladi-
oli. Sufficient rain has fallen to keep
things growing nicely.

Mr. Goree, of Whitewright, is busily
engaged in harvesting his immense berry
crop, and reports things in his town as
very satisfactory. Mr. Goree is arrang-

ing matters with the view of increasing
his glass, intending to grow more ex-
tensively. A visit to his place is a great
pleasure.

The Byrne Floral Co. is a new firm,
organized at Sherman May 21. They
will engage in the growing of general
greenhouse stock for retail trade^ and in
landscape work. The officers of the new
firm are: F. A. Byrne, president and
manager; F. R. Grant, treasurer. Con-
tracts have been let for three houses
22x100, and this equipment will be in-
creased to three times as many next
spring. The office building is already
nearly completed and the firm is only
waiting for the greenhouse material to
arrive before commencing work in
earnest. Narcissus.

NOT NEMATODES.

The center beds in my greenhouses are
solid, about four feet in depth. Nema-
todes have taken possession of them and
up to this time defy all attempts to dis-
lodge them. I have sterilized them to
no effect. As a last resort I took out
the dirt to a depth of twenty-four
inches and covered the old 8,oil with sev-
eral thicknesses of newspaper. In two
months' time the worms appeared on the
surface of the new soil. What can I
put on the old soil remaining in the
beds after two feet of soil has been re-
moved to kill the worms? W. F. P.

I am afraid you are a little mixed on
the nematode question. The nematode
is a very minute insect which can only
be seen under a powerful microscope.
They attack the roots of plants, causing

356

The Weekly Florists' Review*

JuNa 28, 1906.

the growth of small galls, which form
an obstruction to the flow of sap, the
supply of which being cut off soon causes
the plants to assume an unhealthy ap-
pearance. The first indication of their
presence is the appearance of yellow
foliage, followed by weakness of the
young growth, and finally the general
debility of the plant.

The worm you have on the surface of
the soil must belong to another family.
Just what it is, or what harm it may
cause the plants, I am unable to say,
unless I have a minute description of
it. A good many kinds of so-called
worms are conveyed to the soil through
manure. "With others, the eggs are in
the soil, where they have been deposited
by the mother insect previous to its be-
ing taken into the greenhouse. If the
soil were left outdoors they would natur-
ally lie dormant through the winter and
hatch out when the warm summer
weather arrives. Under the congenial
atmosphere of the greenhouse they will,
of course, hatch out through the winter
months. Few of these insects, however,
prove very destructive to plant life,
though the presence of some are not at
all desirable in the greenhouse. Usually
a sprinkling of air-slaked lime well
mixed through the soil will destroy them
in the more tender stages of their growth
and it would be a good thing to apply
the lime just before taking the soil into
the greenhouse. A good sprinkling over
the surface of the old soil will, no doubt,
be also beneficial. W. S. Ceotdon.

Storms on Long Island June 23 did
quite some damage to crops.

Turnips are lagging. The prospect is
not favorable for a good clean-up.

The latest word from California is'
not reassuring on the question of onion
seed.

Heavy rains in Michigan have added
to the worries of the bean and pea
growers.

Rain June 27 was very welcome to
some of the growers of onion sets in
the Chicago territory.

Thus far, which is not a great way
in the season, everything is lovely with
the Nebraska vine-seed growers.

The Connecticut growers of sweet
corn and onion report themselves as well
pleased with present conditions.

E. L. Hess has charge of a Chicago
branch recently established by the Pure
Culture Spawn Co., Pacific, Mo.

The radish crops for seed in southern
Michigan are looking well and give prom-
ise of good yields. The acreage slowly
increases.

Spinach seed for midseason planting
promises to be equal to all demands of
the gardeners in spite of last autumn's
reports of a probable scarcity.

by some weeks of drought and east wind,
with occasional frosts, and now when at
last the rains have descended and milder
weather has supervened we have had
such an overdose that the work has been
rather hindered than helped thereby.

Of biennial vegetable crops, cabbages
are looking well, but kohl rabi has suf-
fered considerably from frost and dry
weather in early spring. Carrots and
beets are standing well in some parts
and in others only middling. Leeks look
healthy so far, but onions are not up to
the mark, owing to the imperfect ripen-
ing of the bulbs last summer. Of
mangels many of the young plants were
frozen and the plantations will be much
more limited than was expected.

Among spring sown articles peas,
spinach and lettuce are coming along
all right, while French beans are only
just pushing through. Eadishes have suf-
fered a good deal through drought and

SEEDSMEN'S CONVENTION.

Toledo, O., June 27. — The twenty-
fourth annual convention of the Ameri-
can Seed Trade Association opened in the
Boody House yesterday morning. The
meeting was called to order by President
W. H. Grenell, of Saginaw, who compli-
mented the association on the unusually
large attendance. More than 100 mem-
bers were present. Besides these there
are several present whose business is
allied in some way to the seed trade.
Many of the members have their families
and the number of visitors present
ranges from 175 to 225.

The opening session, after an address
of welcome by Mayor Whitlock, was de-
voted to routine matters, the hearing of
reports of officers and committees. A
number of new members were elected.
The members enrolled with Stenographer
Brown and were each given numbered
badges. By referring to the roster one
can ascertain the identity of the wearer
of any number. The scheme works so
well that doubtless a numbered badge
book will be published, similar to that
of the nurserymen. The S. A. F. is to
try the same plan in August.

"The convention promises to be a
most successful affair," said Secretary
C. E. Kendel. ' ' There are more dele-
gates present on the opening day than
at any previous gathering."

On Tuesday W. W. Tracy, of the de-
partment of agriculture, read his paper
on "Varietal Description of Garden
Vegetables. ' ' The afternoon session was
held on the floor of the Produce Ex-
change, adjournment having been taken
from the Boody House, where the parlor
was too small.

The entertainment committee, consist-
ing of C. S. Burge, W. T. Phillips and
F. W. Jeager, took the visitors for a
ride on the steamer Greyhound Tuesday
evening. Refreshments were served. Th«
entertainment, in fact, began on Monday
evening, when an informal reception was
held for the early arrivals.

Today's program consists of a paper
by Burnet Landreth, one by Henry Nun-
gesser, and one by J. H. McFarland.
The press agent of the National Coun-
cil of Horticulture has a report, in brief
that which was recently published in the
Beview. Finley Acker, of Philadelphia,
is not present, but sent his paper, one
originally delivered before the retail
branch of the Cleveland Chamber of
Commerce.

This evening there is to be a banquet
at the Zenobia. Thursday afternoon the

delegates will attend the Louisville-To-

Next year will be celebrated the twen-
ty-fifth anniversary of the organizing of
the association, and as New York was
the birthplace of the society, it is pro-
posed to have the quarter-centennial cele-
bration held there.

winter stocks and double wallflowers now
on the stages are looking strong, but in
the fields the single wallflowers might
look better. Forget-me-nots have also
not developed as they should and only
half a crop is expected. Of pansies a
large proportion of the summer-sown
plants have perished, and the spring
plantations will require exceptionally
favorable weather to make up for the
deficiency, as they are by no means such
certain seed bearers as the former. Holly-
hocks are not in very promising shape,
but campanulas, sweet williams and
primulaceous plants have on the other
hand come through well.

Perennials in general have done better
and mostly look in good condition,
though a little backward. Annuals, both
from autumn and spring sowings, are
coming up nicely, and sweet peas have
made a satisfactory start. Planting-out
operations have been sadly delayed by
the weather, quite ten or twelve days,
asters being hardly yet in the ground,
as little can be done when our soil is in
a sodden condition.

The persistent moiet and cloudy
weather is also somewhat iffecting the
foundation of the greenhouje pJnnts, such
as cinerarias. For calceolarias, coleuses
and large-flowering petunias, too, a re-
turn of drier and warmer weather is
quite a desideratum at the present mo-
ment.— Horticultural Trade Journal.

EUROPEAN SEED NOTES.

Business in Mark Lane, London, is now
chiefly on turnip and swedes. A few
late parcels of clovers and grasses are
on offer and prices are still high. Ware-
houses are cleaner of stock, both in Eng-
land and all over the continent, than they
have been for some years. Certainly no
surplus is reported and in some cases a
heavy shortage is spoken of.

A journey through Lincolnshire and
Cambridgeshire, principal turnip and
swede growing counties in England, was
somewhat of a surprise; these crops
have improved wonderfully and are now
looking first-class. If the acreage were
not so exceptionally small the supply of
these articles would be above the aver-
age next harvest. In Essex the pea
crops also have improved marvelously.
The acreage of peas is smaller than
usual, though fields are running fine and
bid fair to yield a heavy crop, but of
peas more than anything else nothing can
be depended on until the seed is in the
sack.

"Windsor and longpod beans all over
England are wretchedly short and weak
and probably a very short harvest will
result.

Oprmany reports a much improved ap-
pearance in nearly all crops, although

the articles which have had to go through
the winter in the open can never recover
the losses caused by weather, and all
such must give a very light return.

Beet and mangel in France are still
reported as being weak and very gappy,
and in some instances continue to fail.
Crops in these two lines look likely to be
short all over Europe. The few fields I
have seen of mangels in England are
very weak and thin; in fact, I never
saw them looking so poor,

Germany has placed a high tax on
cabbages imported from Holland. The
district to the north of Haarlem grows
many hundreds of acres for this Ger-
man trade and I understand the whole
cultivation is stopped; the land is to be
planted with Dutch bulbs in most in-
stances, and the former cabbage growers
are buying stock, principally tulips.
This appears to be one of the causes
of Dutch bulbs being so high in price
this year.

Further reports are to hand of the
terrible destruction wrought by Vesu-
vius. Most of the begonia, stocks, aster,
balsam, etc., are partially or wholly de-
stroyed. Cauliflower seed growers in
some cases are almost ruined. The let-
tuce, bean and radish fields were hard
hit, while onions are in an even worse
plight. J. B.

FRENCH SEED CROPS.

In the last issue of his Bulletin, Mr.
Gorgeot states that the retail trade has
been very difficult this season, in conse-
quence of the extraordinary fluctuations
of the weather. The seed sowing season,
which may be ordinarily said to last
three months, was this year contracted
to two, by the fact that the condition
of the soil absolutely prohibited sowing
during quite four weeks of the time.

Vegetation is, as a whole, about a
fortnight behind the calendar; but so
far, no really serious injury has been
caused, and with a genial summer to fol-
low, the prospects would not be unfavor-
able. Of course, no one looks for a
record crop, and this is probably
strengthening the hands of those growers
who are standing out for better contract
prices, many items having, according to
their account, been grown at a loss for
some years past. — Horticultural Adver-
tiser.

JAPANESE BULB CROP.

London, England. — I have just re-
ceived a crop report from Yokohama, of
Japan Ulies. T should think on reading
same the supply will be even shorter than
last year and prices, if anything, higher.
The demand also in England seems to be
double the extent of last year, and all
growers, especially for longiflorum multi-
floruni, are making their arrangements
for supplies fully three months earlier
than previous years. This is no doubt
caused by so many buyers not getting de-
livery of half the quantity they arranged
for last year, but it has the effect of very
considerably stiffening the price of
stocks held by the dealers. Such prices
as £10 per thousand for 7x9 longiflorum
multiflorum. are being freely obtained in
and* around iLonddn. J. B.

Briggs, Vick and Cushman, at Eochester,
are contented with the results of the
season, and when seedsmen feel satis-
fied and do not fail to say so, there
must be some bottom to the story.
James Vick's Sons filled one order for
9,000 dahlia roots for one house, their
own raising at Despatch, where their
growing and trial grounds are situated.
They are busy at Despatch, planting
asters, and nearly twenty-five per cent
more acreage has been set aside for
these plants. Besides the branching
sorts, Mikado, Violet King (novelty).
Lavender Gem, Daybreak and others of
their own origination have been allotted
large swaths. F. S. P.

John A. Kepner, who has a range of
seven greenhouses here, and who does a
general retail business, is contemplating
an addition of five new houses to his
present equipment. In addition to his
business here, Mr. Kepner has floral
bazaars at 116 South Second street, Har-
risburg. Pa,, and at 159 South Front
street, Steelton, Pa. He is also inter-
ested in the Louella hotel at Atlantic
City, N. J.

• FORT WORTH, TEX,

Greenhouse owners were heavy losers
in the hail storm which visited this sec-
tion June 20. L. Cowell, of McAdams
& Cowell, who own a large plant near
Fairmount Hill, said that one-third the
glass in their houses was broken and con-
siderable damage done to the stock in-
side. He estimated the loss at $350 to
$400 on glass and $50 on stock.

George Ellison, whose greenhouses are
at Magnolia and Henderson streets,
places his loss at $400. His plants, both
inside and outside, were badly damaged.
Mr. Ellison says that this storm was the
worst since a.bout 1880.

At Riverside the nurseries and green-
houses suffered much less severely.
Robert Baker, of Baker Bros., said that
694 panes were broken from their houses.
Mr. Baker said the storm was much less
severe there than in the city. Some fruit
was knocked off and a few trees twisted
and broken, but the damage to the plant
would not exceed $50. Roses and other
flowers outside the houses were but lit-
tle hurt.

At the plant of the Drumm Seed and
Floral Co. the damage seems to have
been more, Mr. Drumm saying that his
loss would be nearly $250. Much glass
was broken on their houses and the fruit
trees badly beaten.

The Morris County Gardeners' and
Florists ' Society held its regular monthly
meeting June 13. President John Heere-
mans read a paper on "Vegetables for
Exhibition. ' ' It was fully appreciated,
the speaker receiving a rising vote of
thanks. Mr. Heeremans' remarks were
timely and the fact that he is one of
our prominent exhibitors added weight
to his words. Thirty-four members be-
sides the oflBcers were present. The secre-
tary was ordered to write a letter of
protest, in the name of the society, to
the U. S. Express Co. against their exor-
bitant rates on flowers. Proofs of the
flower show schedule were on hand. Cash
prizes to the amount of $450 are offered.
The boys are getting in line. Several
changes are made and the prospects are
the best we ever had. It is to be held
in Madison, November 1 and 2. A. Her-
rington exhibited six varieties of the
newer sweet peas, and Lemoine peony, an
excellent late variety. He received the
society's cultural certificate for the dis-
play.

Our treasurer, William Charlton, who
is confined to his home by sickness, is to
be visited by a special committee of
sympathizing brothers.

The society adjourned its meetings un-
til next September, as has been the cus-
tom for the last few years. E. K.

PACIFIC COAST.

LoxG Beach, Cal. — Kees & Compere
find themselves compelled to remove from
their present ranch. A new location has
not yet been decided upon.

Tacoma, Wash. — H. W. Manike has
donated about 5,000 bedding plants to
replace some of those destroyed recently
in the fire at Point Defiance park.

PACIFIC COAST PROSPECTS,

We are in the midst of the most
peculiar season that has visited this por-
tion of California in many years. As
I write — we are now in the middle of
the month — it is raining merrily, with
prospects of continuing. This is entirely
out of the ordinary state of affairs, for
it is very seldom that we have any
moisture at all during the .summer or
fall. The fact that since the heavy rain-
fall in February and March the soil at
no time has needed any artificial
moisture is also considered phenomenal.

This has been of great advantage to
the nurserymen and all growers of orna-
mental trees, and this season 's growth
on ornamental stock, as well as young
fruit trees, will be a record-breaker.
Thousands of dollars have been saved
to the dealers by the irrigation system
jirovided by Juj)itcr Pluvius, and were
it not that many hundred thousands of
dollars' worth of fruit and grain are
spoiled the conditions would be of value.

Grain crops have suffered badly. Most
of the hay has been practically spoiled,
either from rust or from the crops be-
ing beaten down. Cherri&s, of which
there was but a fair crop in any event,
are cracked and molded by the excessive
moisture. The same holds true of apri-
cots, early peaches and plums, and what
promised to be an abundant harvest of
first quality fruit has turned out to be
a poor lot of swollen and split culls, fit
only for cheap preserved cannery use.

This condition does not extend all
over California, but it covers many coun-
ties in the central portion of the state.
Tt is yet too early to know whether it
will have a damaging effect or not on
grapes ; from present indications they
are all right. Berries have been badly
injured also, and the growers are losing
great quantities of their best stock.

The chaotic state of this portion of
the coast, due to the disaster which be-
fell San Francisco, is likely to interfere

to a considerable extent with large
plantings. .Many of our finest country
places are ownetl by San Francisco
capitalists, and as retrenchments are
greatly in order there will undoubtedly
be a big difference between demand and
supply. jNIany large tracts of land,
which were to have been planted and
divided up into building lots, and on
which it was expected that the San
Francisco bank.s would loan money, will
have nothing done with them. Outside
of San Francisco and the immediate
vicinity there will in all probability be a
very fair demand for ornamental stock,
of which there is an abundance on hand

The prices are away down for all classes

at this time, they do not average over

in disposing of stock. Sweet peas are
the most popular at present, and the de-

VENTURA, CAL.

George W. Oliver, of the agricultural
department at Washington, is making
his yearly visit to California and spent
June 22 and 23 with the T. B. Shepherd
Co.

Mr. Oliver was enthusiastic in his
admiration of the begonias, and thinks
Mrs. Shepherd's tree begonias and the
climber Marjorie Daw valuable additions.

Mrs. Shepherd's new dahlia, Pericles,
a cross between imperialis and the Mexi-
can dahlia Maximilian, he considers a
superb thing; but what interested him
even more was the new everblooming
rose Oriole. This rose is a seedling from
La Jonquille and the stock is so limited
that it has not been sold in the east and
is not known to rosarians.

It is a very vigorous rose, attaining a
height of six feet in a few years, of
rather slender habit, medium foliage,
and bears its buds on long, strong stems.
It is perfectly healthy, never having
mildew or any imperfections of that
kind, but what makes it so wonderfully
attractive is its unusual color, pure

orange, much the shade of the Eichard-
son, but better form and entirely unlike
the Richardson, which is a climber with
very bad habit of growth, short stemmed
roses, and rarely does well any length of
time. The Oriole is a most persistent
and perpetual bloomer, and a large bunch
of its splendid flowers would attract
a crowd any place it was exhibited.

Mr. Oliver told Mrs. Shepherd that
she should have this rose introduced in
the east; that it would be enthusiastical-
ly received and too much cannot be said
in its praise.

It would be hardy in the east, south of
New York, and very beautiful for cut
flowers under glass, if it would preserve
its fine rich color.

Detroit, Mich.— The Detroit Florists '
Club is at Algonac today, on a fishing
expedition.

Chillicothe, Mo.— E. L. Isherwood is
planning to begin work at once on two
new houses, each 54x100 feet. This will
double his present capacity.

Manheim, Pa.— Abraham Hostetter's
greenhouse plant will be sold at public
auction July 14, under an order from
the orphans' court.

Monongahela, Pa.— J. A. Keeney re-
ports having just closed his most success-
ful season. He sold everything clean for
Memorial day. All his bedding plants
went, a total of more than 25,000, except
1,200 Austria cannas. He expects to re-
build two houses 18x80 next month.

OLD FIRM SELLS.

As reported briefly at the time the
deal was first considered, the well known
nursery of Nichols & Lorton, Davenport,
la., established in 1848, and the leading
and largest one in the state, has changed
hand,s, the new purchasers being Adolph
Arp, superintendent of parks for Daven-
port, and H. G. Bryant, an experienced
nurseryman. The business of Nicholas
& Lorton, which was established fifty-
eight years ago, is located on the Middle
road, a short distance east of the city
limits and is known as the Davenport
Nurseries. Mr. Arp has resigned his

position as superintendent of parks, the
resignation to take effect August 1, after
which he will devote his entire time with
Mr. Bryant to the management of the
business.

BUD AND SCION SUPPLY.

In discussing "The Importance and
Best Methods of the Bud and Scion Sup-
ply in Propagating" at the Dallas con-
vention, C. C. Mayhew said in part:

"Of the many important matters for
the consideration of every grower of
nursery stock, there is none of more vital
importance than his bud and scion sup-
ply. I know that every member of this
association wishes to produce his very
best; wishes to deliver to his customers
healthy, well-grown stock which is true
to name. To do this we can not be too
careful as to our buds and scions.

' ' If we are absolutely certain that our
stock is exactly what we wish it, where
are our scions and buds to come from?
It is not practical to cut great quan-
tities of buds and grafts from fruiting
orchards for the reason that the buds are
inferior, expensive to cut and give poor
stands. In addition to this we are de-
cidedly more liable to spread disease
than where we cut from younger and
thriftier stock. It is not safe to cut
from the nursery row because every
handling adds risk and uncertainty that
we all dislike. I believe the most prac-
tical and profitable way for securing an

The Market

Business last week was fair for this
time of the year, and receipts were large.
This was not unexpected, as the season is
at hand when such conditions usually
prevail. Outdoor roses are coming in
and- are now plentiful. There are large
cuts of carnations, and the quality in
general is good, although there are many
of inferior quality. The selects retail
at 75 cents per dozen, while the common
price is 50 cents. There is a good sup-
ply of sweet peas and good stock sells
well. Lavender, pink and white have
first call, and all growers have them at
50 cents per hundred. Peonies have been
plentiful and will be for a few days
longer, although the flush of the crop
is marketed. Roses are getting smaller
and the quality is not so good. Beauties
still hold their own and have been called
for more than usual. The short and
medium stems come in large quantities,
prices continuing satisfactory.

The usual number of June weddings
have taken place, with more to follow.
Counter sales have kept up remarkably
the last ten days, owing to the demand
for flowers for commencement exercises.
The sale of bedding plants is about at
an end, as everybody is nearly sold out.

A nimiber of social afl'airs took place

The monthly meeting of the New
Orleans Horticultural Society was well
attended, and some important business
was transacted. The first discussion was
concerning next fall 's flower show. A
communication was read from the lady
members of the New Orleans Floral
Association. Their proposition was dis-
cussed by the members and almost ac-
cepted in full. When taking a final
vote, however, the idea of holding a show
was defeated, and it was postponed to a
later date. C. W. Eichling gave a full

It has been decided that the first con-
vention will take place in New Orleans,
and will likely be some time around our
carnival season. There is also some
talk about having a flower show at the
same time and in conjunction, although
it is entirely left to the new society to
act and decide upon anything in the

The committee on outing reported
several propositions, but the trip to

where the society has been many past

traction and it was decided to go there
again. The trip will take three days,

K. Eichling, with W. Kehm, had a pot
of Lilium auratum on exhibition. This

as a pot plant will have little value,

it is certainly good. A bunch of Shasta

TWIN QTIES.

The Market

Business the last week has been very
quiet with all of the trade. Planting
is all done, and the cut flower trade is
light. Prices keep up well.

Outdoor flowers are coming in nicely
and peonies are being used considerably
in decorations of all descriptions; the
quality is much inferior to that of pre-
vious seasons. Those that are purchased
on the market can be bought at $2 per
hundred. Outdoor valley is also gone.

Roses are coming in nicely and the
present crop will in all probability be
the last one on the old plants. The
growers are about ready to throw out
the old ones, so that there is a possible
shortage to look forward to. Carna-
tions are small, particularly those from
local growers, no doubt on accoimt of
the heat. Prices vary to a large extent.
Smilax has been scarce, and a great
many common ferns are being used.

The greenhouse owners are all doing
some repairing, but building of new
houses is slow.

The florists' picnic will in all prob-
ability be held at I^ke Minnetonka,
although the exact date and location has
not been decided on as yet. It has been
held for the past two or three s'easons
in the vicinity of St. Paul, and Minne-
apolis wants it this year.

St. Paul.

L. L. May and family left Sunday
evening to attend the seedsmen's con-
vention, to be held in Toledo.

Charles Vogt says business is quiet,
but he has turned out quite a number
of funeral designs, which help consider-
ably. The profit on them at this time
of the year is good.

The Swanson Floral Co. continues to
put up very attractive windows, which
are greatly admired.

L. L. May & Co. report a fair trade,
but principally in the funeral work line.
They are also greatly pleased at the
heavy increase in their retail depart-
ment over previous seasons. A large
amount of it is no doubt due to the ef-
forts of their manager, J. W. Hoff-
man.

Gus Colberg says business is very fair.

Minneapolit.

Oscar Araundson, of the Rosary,
says that trade is keeping up nicely,
and thinks the success of the business
from now on till fall will depend to a
large extent on the caution exercised in
buying.

Carl Johannsen, of the Powers Mer-
cantile Co., says trade is fair. They
handle a good stock, which from all ap-
pearances sells well.

Donaldson's glass block is undoubt-
edly doing a good business. Saturday
afternoon finds this firm all as busy as
bees. They handle good stock, which is
of course sold at just a little below the
legitimate florists' prices.

The New York Floral Co. seems to
have them all beaten when it comes to the
number of carnations carried in stock.
They must have in the neighborhood of
5,000 carnations in their windows on
a Saturday afternoon. These they offer
at 25 and 35 cents per dozen.

PITTSBUHG.

The Market.

June is winding up the season in
good shape. All good stock finds ready
sale, and the last week took much of
the poorer with it. There is still con-
siderable business in sight for this week.
The retailers are managing to keep
fairly busy, but the wholesale houses
wind up their day's work with about
three hours in the morning.

VariouB Notes.

A. W. Smith is handling some fine
white phlox, which comes in good shape
for benches in the large decorations
which he has been handling.

The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. is han-
dling fine Beauties and lilies, as well as
peonies, which are as good as at any
time during their season.

Last Monday a severe storm, with
heavy hail, visited this vicinity, and
while it did much damage to gardens,
cutting everything to pieces, it fortu-
nately managed to miss all the green-
houses. The only broken glass beard of
was in hotbed sashes here and there.

A. T. Vick, of Albion, N. Y., has been
a visitor here for several days. It was
his first visit to Pittsburg, and he was
interested in everything we have in the
manufacuring line, as well as the rail-
roads, which seem to stand on end in
getting to the tops of our mountains.

The Florists' Club picnic committee
has not decided on a spot for the picnic
up to this time. Hoo-Hoo.

KANSAS QTY.

Lawrence M. Schwa ger, who has con-
ducted a flower store at 1300 Grand ave-
nue for a number of years and was ap-
parently doing a prosperous business,
has filed a petition in bankruptcy. He
places his liabilities at $2,000 and assets
at $400.

Ballston Spa, N. Y. — John Schafer
died June 12. The business will be con-
tinued without change, his nephew, Chas.
Schafer, having acquired an interest.

Lancaster, Pa. — Albert M. Herr,
secretary of the American Carnation So-
ciety, has mailed to members the annual
report, including the proceedings of the
Boston Convention of January 24-25.
Mr. llerr has much diflficulty in secur-
ing a stenographer who can report the
proceedings to his satisfaction.

JOHN LEWIS CHILDS

FLORSL PARK, L. I., N. Y.

ROCHESTER.

Storm at Canandaig^ua.

What the hail storm of June 10 failed
to accomplish, the rain June 16 put the
finishing touch to, making the desolation
complete. Mrs. Thompson's estate at
Canandaigua suffered most. The houses
are wrecks and the outside plants, not
only the bedding plants, but the shrubs
and herbaceous stock, now are merely
poor suggestions of their former beauty.
The oldest trees on the place were also
torn apart, and were it not for the
netting inside of the glass on the aviary,
the feathered tribe would be minus to-
day. Burnham has a dozen men at
work, fixing up the houses, but all the
specimen palms are destroyed, mums and
carnations are a total loss and Mr.
Ballantine will have to start over again
to bring the estate up to the high level
it had attained before the hail de-
vastated it. The Italian garden is
ruined. We. noticed in one house, which
had evidently escaped the brunt of the
Btorm, a few extra choice specimens of
Cattleya gigas, some in flower and others
showing fine spikes, also some good
types of single and double tuberous be-
gonias.

The florists of Canandaigua were
badly hit and their houses are practically
glassless. The rain completed a dis-
astrous week. The stream flowing
through the town flooded the surround-
ing land and practically put the market
gardeners out of business.

Trade Good.

This week has not been so bad in
Eochester, considering the weather and
season, as might have been expected.
Roses have sold for $3 to $8, carnations
$2.50, while Asparagus plumosus has
moved quietly and gladioli have been in
fair demand. The florists are looking
forward to the Fourth, after which a
general "redding" up in the houses
will be in order. This has been a good
spring to the fraternity here and no one
seems to grudge it to them.

A small delegation will go from this
city to the convention at Dayton.

The farmers around this part of the
country are taking an absorbing interest
in asters, and with an average season,
there ought to be sufficient to go around.
George Hart, our commission florist, al-
ready has made arrangements for hand-
ling asters in quantity. Last summer

The Weekly Florists' Review*

June 28, 1906.

CINONNATL

The Market

Business for the last week has been
fine. Every one is well satisfied with
the way it has been going, and the
month of June will be a good one this
year. The demand is general and for
all kinds of stock. As a consequence,
the prices of all grades have been ad-
vancing until now they are as high as
one ever sees them at this season of the
year. Everything points to a continua-
tion of the good run for the balance of
this month at least, as many advance
orders have been booked.

The supply of stock is but medium,
and perhaps this is one reason for the
good demand. There is just about
enough to fill all orders. This leaves the
wholesale market well cleared out every
evening and in good condition to keep
up prices the next day.

Owing to good weather, both roses
and carnations have improved in quality.
American Beauties are in good demand,
and they also have improved greatly.
The best grade readily brings $3 per
dozen. Sweet peas continue in good de-
mand and more of the better varieties
could be disposed of to advantage.
Lilies of all kinds are selling well, with
but few on the market. Gladioli are
Belling first-class. Green goods are fair-
ly plentiful and there are plenty of good
eastern ferns.

Various Notes.

A meeting of the picnic committee
was held June 16, and it was decided
to hold the florists' annual outing on
Thursday, July 19, at Norwood Inn park,
Oakley, O. There will be music and
dancing, bowling for both ladies and
gentlemen, also a ball game. There will
probably be running races and other
sports. This is to be an old-fashioned
basket picnic, and every one is expected
to bring a well filled basket. Ben George
was appointed to look after printing
and music, George Murphy to look after
the baseball. Tom Jackson has charge
of the quoits and Henry Schwarz the
bowling.

The committee in charge of the Cin-
cinnati delegation to the S. A. F. con-
vention has been busily engaged in look-
ing up rates and is rapidly getting
things into shape. Every one seems to
be so enthusiastic on the subject that
there ought to be at least 100 in the
party. As soon as the committee de-
cides which way we will go, every florist
in this city and vicinity will be notified
of all particulars. Those out-of-town
florists who care to join the Cincinnati
delegation can obtain full information
by addressing C. J. Ohmer, 113 East
Third street, Cincinnati. We will be
glad to have all who can possibly do so
go with us.

J. W. Rodgers and wife have just re
turned from a visit to the east.

Our Customers Talk For Us.

Christ Muno. Evanston, 111.

"We have had (our of your boilers. The first Rave us thir-
teen years' sarvloe, the second one eleven years, and the other
two were put in in the last two seasons.

"We used the first two boilers nine years before we had to
put in new flues. We have not used any other boilers, but our
neighbors have other makes, and the life of their boilers is from
three to four years shorter than ours.

"We are satisfied with the boilers in every possible way."

Grant Newport, Oedar Rapids, Iowa.

"I bought a No. 2 boiler in 1902. Takes ca^e of 7.000 sn. ft. of
glass; would take care of 2,000 more. I have bad a oast-Iron

holler, but It broke do\7n t^iirioe In tour years, always in
the coldeht weather. It broke dnwu ecember 29, J9u4, anrt I lost
all my stock in consequence. I have now two No. 2 Kroe-
schell boilers, and do not worry about their breaking down."

Jacob Phili.ip, Rotrers Park, III.

INDIANAPOLIS.

The Market

During the last week business has
been good, flowers of all kinds being
used in abundance. The store men were
all busy with receptions, weddings and
funerals. Considering the lateness of
the season the plant trade has been above
the average.

Various Notet.

Mr. Langstaff, of the State Deaf and
Dumb Institute, is looking forward to a
busy time for the next two years. The
new grounds of about forty acres have
to be laid out, and roads and walks
made. All this comes under Mr. Lang-
staff's supervision, as does also the erec-
tion of two greenhouses, each 20x125
feet.

Arthur Smith, who has been with Baur
& Smith, has taken a position with E.
A. Nelson.

The greenhouses at Noblesville form-
erly run by E. E. Farley, are now rented
by Harvey Smith, who expects to put
in a full line of plants, etc. Mr. Farley
is now in Texas preaching the gospel for
the benefit of the cowboys and ' * broncho
bufters. ' '

Several of the greenhouse men have
commenced improvements to their plants
since the rush is over, and by fall there
will be quite an additional growing space
available. S.

MILFORD, MASS.

A. J. Howard & Son, who operate the
Morningside Greenhouses, and have
12,000 feet of glass, are planning to
build an addition of 15,000 feet during
the summer. This firm makes a specialty
of carnations and bedding plants. The
business was established in 1894.

Miss Evelyn B. Taylor, the lady florist
of Milford, now has 4,700 feet of glass
in use. She makes a specialty of violets
and carnations in the spring, and grows
chrysanthemums in the fall. Home de-
mand takes her entire output.

E. G. Moore was the first florist in
Milford, having established his business
in 1883. He pays special attention to
cut flowers and bedding plants. Mr.
Moore has lived in Milford for forty
years, and is a veteran of the civil war.

Dickson City, Pa. — Mrs. Thos. Rolles
has bought out Matthew Horrocks and
will continue in the business.

Tlie Test of Quality

Cypress is conceded by all authorities to be the
best wood for greenhouse construction and quite a
little has been said about the "right kind of cypress."
What way have you of knowing the "right kind of
cypress? " Can you tell by looking at a cypress plank
just where the sap lies and what kind it is ?

One way to be sure that you get the "right kind"
of cypress, is to place your order with a firm that makes
a test of every piece before shipping and employs an
expert to detect cypress defects. Send for "Why Use
Cypress" and "The Mummy's Case."

HENRY BRUCE BEATTY.

Henry Bruce Beatty, the treasurer of
the Society of American Florists, is one
of those fortunate folk who follow flori-
culture purely for their personal predi-
lection toward the pursuit as a pastime.
Mr. Beatty is an oil man who turned
to natural gas as offering a field more
open to individual effort, ability and in-
dustry combining to place hini at the
head of the world 's largest exclusive gas
company, for he is, and has been for
some years, president of the Manufac-
turers ' Light and Heat Co., of Pittsburg.
He is a recognized authority on all ques-
tions concerning gas.

Mr. Beatty was born August 16, 1857,
in Mercer county, Pennsylvania. He is
the second son of Ebenezer S. Beatty, a
pioneer in the oil business at Oil City.
He came of a Scotch family which came
to America by way of Ireland before the
Revolution and has the distinction of
having had a representative in every war
of the United States. After a careful
schooling Henry Bruce Beatty began
business life associated with his father
at Oil City. It was in 1879 that his
thoughts were first turned to natural gas,
then going to waste,- but capital was not
to be had until some years later. In
1881 he removed to Bradford, where he
bore a not inactive part in the exciting
days of the oil business, when specula-
tion was at its height. In 1889, in addi-
tion to oil interests in various fields, he
acquired an interest in the Pittsburg
corporation of which he in 1896 became
the head. At the later date its capital
was $600,000; today it is $25,000,000,
for Mr, Beatty has succeeded, by pur-
chase, merger or consolidation, in ac-
quiring thirty-five gas, water and elec-
tric companies, the stock of which is
owned by the Manufacturers' Light and
Heat Co. The ability with which these
operations have been carried on is per-
haps best shown by the fact that a re-
cent estimate put a premium of $4,810,-
000 on the properties controlled by him.

In 1879 Mr. Beatty married Mary L.
Strong, the daughter of H. 0. Strong,
the well-known capitalist with whom, in
1887, he returned to Oil City and estab-
lished the Oakwood Kose Gardens, build-
ing and conducting what was at that
time the largest exclusive rose-growing
establishment in the United States.
Throwing the same energy into this that
he had put into his other activities he
sdon made it one of the famous places
of the day, and, indeed, there are not
now many places where a better grade of
stock is produced. Mr. Beatty is still the
secretary and treasurer of the Oakwood
company. In the years he devoted his
time to the florists' business he gained
a wide acquaintance in the trade and at
the S. A. F. convention at Atlantic City
in 1894, where Edwin Lonsdale was
elected president, Mr. Beatty became
treasurer, succeeding the late M. A.
Hunt. He is a never failing attend-
Bnt at the contention and the warmth

with which he annually greets his old
friends shows the pleasure it affords
him to get back for a few days among
the associates of the period which he
frequently refers to as the best of his
busy life. So great is his popularity
that he has year after year been contin-
ued as treasurer and at Washington last
summer some of his friends insisted on
nominating him for the presidency in
spite of his earnest protests.

Mr. Beatty has an interesting family
and a beautiful home at Pittsburg, with
a summer residence at Oil City. Both
dwellings are full of treasures of art

that he is recognized as a strong factor
in the great financial and industrial inter-
ests of western Pennsylvania.

LARGE OR SMALL BULBS.

In forcing lilies, more especially
Harrisii, do the larger sizes of bulbs
force more easily? In the experiments
with ether for forcing purposes tried
at Cornell, were the bulbs dormant or
had growth commenced before the trial?
I have had trouble in getting my lilies
to bloom for Easter and thought perhaps
it might be caused by using the smaller
sizes of bulbs. M. E.

For years we have used and advocated
the use of 5x7 Harrisii lily bulbs for
early forcing, those we wanted ta cut
from December 1 to February 1 prin-
cipally, because there was less waste in
using the flowers. If they were used
singly in designs there would be no
waste in a plant with five or six flow-
ers, because the single flower would be
cut as it developed, but the great ma-

and literature, the collection of which
has been one of his chief pleasures. He is
a member of the American Bose Society
and of half a dozen clubs in Pittsburg
and Oil City. In all his relations, both
business and social, his quiet dignity, his
unassuming ways and substantial worth
impress favorably, aside from the fact

jority of these early lilies are used in
bunches, or sprays as they are called,
and a plant with two open flowers and
one bud is very little waste and can be
more gracefully arranged. Yet I find
from observing the experience of a very
large firm, which makes a specialty of
lilies for Thanksgiving and the holidays,

400

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

Jolt 5, 1906.

that the 7x9 bulbs are always used.
They are stronger and will endure a
higher temperature, and I am convinced
from this firm's success that the 7x9
bulbs should be used. For Easter use,
when the plants are mostly sold in pots,
the 7x9 bulbs, both of the Bermuda and
Japan grown, are always used, and some
9x11 bulbs are grown for extra fine
plants.

We know nothing about the ether ex-
periments at Cornell university. There
have been some very interesting experi-
ments at Cornell with plants grown
under the influence of the light of
acetylene gas. By applying to the horti-
cultural department of the university
you could doubtless obtain their latest
bulletins on both subjects.

W. S.

Lancifolium Lilies.

The lancifolium type of Japan lilies
that were potted in midwinter will now
be opening their flowers, and very useful
they are to the commercial florist for the
next two months. They should not be
subjected to the glare of the sun under
unshaded glass or their season will be
short, the flowers of poor quality, and
they will need so much water that the
entire plants get exhausted. A shaded,
cool house is the place for them, or a
sheltered place outside under the shade
of trees. I wiU just mention here that
these lilies, if the stem and foliage are
not cut, and after flowering are gradu-
ally dried off, are just as good for forc-
ing the second and third or fourth year
as the new bulbs you buy. All they
want is two or three months' rest after
the foliage is ripe, and new soil before
you start them up.

Poinsettias.

You now will be propagating poinset-
tias about as fast as you get the young
growth. We have seen a large percent-
age of these cuttings shrivel up and
perish in the sand, as we have chrysan-
themum cuttings in midsummer. In fact,
years ago we believed it was necessary
to build a hotbed and keep it well
shaaed to root these plants. It was a
mistake. There is no need of it; neither
is it at all necessary that you should
lose fifty per cent of either. Water is
the secret, if it's worth calling a secret,
and plenty of it. Never let them wilt
for want of it, or from sunshine. Keep
the sand saturated and guard against
sun and draughts and you will root nine-
ty-five per cent.

Begonias.

The shrubby section of the begonias
also root very easily at this time of the
year, although rather late to make good
plants for winter flowering, but the be-
gonia being more of a succulent plant
does not need so much shade or water.

While speaking of begonias of this
type, such as incarnata and its improved
forms, President Carnot and others, it
is a mistake to keep them in summer in
a shaded greenhouse. What with shade
and the moisture that is necessary, a dis-
ease which is a rust will often appear in
August and ruin all your plants. Those
you propagated in the spring months
and which now are in 4-inch pots, as
well as old plants that you wish to
carry over, should now be plunged out-
doors in partial shade. An ideal situa-
tion would be plunged in a frame where
a light shade could be used in the bright-

est hours and dispensed with on dull
days and hours. The begonias, with this
treatment, will assume a robustness that
you never can get on a plant kept all
summer in a moisture-charged, stuffy
greenhouse. This class of begonias, of
which there are so many species and
varieties, is in good demand with the
amateur and there are few more satis-
factory house plants.

Gloire de Lorraine, which belongs to
the semi-tuberous section, is best man-
aged indoors. As I am promised some
hints on the management of this im-
portant plant for next week's issue by
an expert, I will only say that young
plants in 3-inch and 4-inch pots should
have a shaded bench and an abundance
of air at all times, day and night.

Primulas.

Primulas of the various species that
were sown in May should be pricked off
from seed pans into flats, or into 2-inch
pots, and they will do well in a frame
with the shaded sash raised back and
front so that they will receive the freest
circulation of air.

Obconica has so many good qualities
that it has put Sinensis in the shade.
For an Easter plant you can still sow
obconica and you should procure only
the finest strains of size and color you

can hear of. Fifty cents or $1 is no
consideration on a packet of seed if you
get the right quality.

Pruning; Hedges.

If you have charge of any hedges, July
is the time to do the summer pruning.
The privet hedges are the most abundant.
If rather severely pruned before starting
to grow in spring they now will have
made a strong growth and should be
shortened back a few inches only to in-
duce the present year's growth to break
into lateral growth, which makes the
hedge compact and dense, which is the
condition you are after. An evergreen
hedge, spruce, hemlock or arbor-vitse,
should also be trimmed this month, but
not with the shears. An evergreen hedge
sheared off looks like a Southdown sheep
just out of the hands of the shearer.
Use a knife on evergreen hedges. They
only need the cutting back of strong
growths that are taking the lead of
others.

The writer is no friend of hedges, es-
pecially where there is no need of them.
Where planted purely as an ornament
they are unsightly and absurd, but if
planted keep them compact and trim.
You can't help their being stiff and
formal, but this trimness and uniform
height, width, and density is their only
beauty, and if ragged, irregular in size
and neglected they are only an eyesore.

Cultivate.

We have been blessed with frequent
showers of late and have to hoe and cul-
tivate continually to keep down the many
little plants we call weeds, yet many
localities in this large country, even the
eastern half of it, may be suffering for
want of rain and I say unto you dearly
beloved brethren and sisters, keep the
hoe at work. The hoe is often a curse.
The constant use of the hoe is a bless-
ing. WiLLUM Scott.

THE UBIQUITOUS SPIRAEA.

The spiraea is a plant which knows
no one locality. All it wants is a fairly
good soil and a chance to grow. The

about seven years old and has attained a
height of about eleven feet and is thirty-
five feet in circumference. How well
the plant flowers is shown by the photo-
graph, which was taken a few weeks ago.
Spirara Van Houttei is one of the
principal items of stock wherever shrubs
are grown, and deserves its popularity.

SYRINGA JAPONICA.

Please tell me the name of a large
shrub or tree, not unlike a lilac, only a
larger tree. The top of the tree is in

full bloom now, and is very handsome
and fragrant. W. A. L.

The plant is Syringa Japonica, some-
times called Ligustrina Amurensis, one
of our tall grovdng or tree lilacs. This
makes one of the most handsome of our
large shrubs for blooming late in June
or in early July. The flowers, unfortu-
nately, possess a strange fascination for
rose bugs, which usually descend upon
them in hordes as soon as they are open,
and soon give them a brown appearance.

THE FIRST BREAK.

This is a term applied to the condi-
tion of the plant when after making
a growth of a foot or so it produces a
bud and then several growths around
the bud, which will run on to produce
the future flowers. This bud is similar
to the later ones in that it would if it
were retained and conditions were favor-
able produce a flower, but conditions in
our climate are unfavorable for these
early buds and they never develop prop-
erly. Some of the types that will flower
early in August in Europe will not come
here till six weeks later, as the early
buds all rot or produce distorted flow-
ers. It is these different buds that
prove the stumbling block to the novice
in chrysanthemum growing, but it may
safely be set down that any bud that
shows for the next four weeks is too
early and will not produce a good flower.

The grower, if he wants to produce
two flowers to a plant, can now run two
shoots in place of one, in fact some
prefer to grow them this way, as the
plants are not nearly so crowded in
the benches. If the plants are kept to
one shoot again pinch all the superfluous
shoots oflP close to the stem. This opera-
tion can be done with the thumb and
finger so neatly that the "break" can
hardly be seen in a few weeks. The
shoot that is retained sometimes shoots
out at right angles before it goes on
up; in such a case it should be tied
up in such a manner that it will be
coaxed into growing straight. A crooked
stem impairs the value of the flower,
ana that is the chief reason why I much
prefer wire stakes to string, as the
plants can then more readily be trained
in the way they should go.

The weather in this section has been
very warm during the last week, and to
prevent the plants from scalding it is
necessary to keep the atmosphere full
of moisture. Turn the hose loose in
the house four or five times during the
day, spraying the plants and paths and
all parts of the house. This will pull
down the temperature to a reasonable
point again and keep the tips from get-
ting burned. The wonderful foliage seen
on some of the best exhibitors* stock is
due to nothing else than the constant,
intelligent, frequent use of the hose.
Once in a while one runs across a man
who still sticks to the old idea that it
is dangerous to water or syringe plants

with the sun shining on them, but that
kind of fellow is getting scarce and
much better stock is grown than former-
ly as a consequence. Evaporation is so
rapid in our climate that no harm can
possibly result from spraying at mid-
day.

Plants intended for 6-inch pots should
be got out of the sand and potted as
soon as they are rooted. Don't leave
them too long, to make a weak growth,
but pot into good soil and encourage
them in every way possible. Greenfly is
very apt to be troublesome on late cut-
tings, and if this is your case, give
the plants a good dusting with tobacco
dust, because delicate little plants will
not grow unless they are clean and free
from insects. Charles H. Totty.

BEAUTIES.

During the first two months after
benching is the period to lay a good
foundation for winter blooming stock.
During this growing season their wants
require careful studying and close obser-
vation, and no hard and fast cultural
rules can be strictly adhered to. The
attending conditions, such as soil, water,
aspect, situation of the house and cli-
matic changes all have to be taken into
consideration and duly weighed. The
sudden changes to which our climate is
subject make one of the most annoying
phases of Beauty growing.

During very hot weather, which we

may now expect, young Beauty stock, if
in a healthy condition, will require
copious supplies of water, and if the
drainage is as perfect as it ought to be
there is little danger of overwatering.
Syringing will also have to be practiced
frequently, the young, tender leaves at
this season being very subject to the
attacks of red spider.

Because of these frequent drenchings
the soil will require frequent stirring to
keep the surface in good condition, and
if the weather becomes cloudy and un-
settled, great care will be needed not to
get the foliage too soft, as this may
lead to an attack of black spot, which
can in a great measure be prevented by
increasing care in ventilating and water-
ing. Care in watering consists in a
thorough examination of the soil in the
benches, using accurate judgment as to
weather conditions before applying the
hose, and watering those spots which are

dry before the general watering, bo that
the whole of the bench may be uniformly
moist.

After the bench is satisfactorily
watered the syringe should be applied.
Any effort to perform both of these
operations at one and the same time, as
is frequently attempted by the inexpe-
rienced, can result in nothing but dis-
aster, as neither can be performed satis-
factorily in this manner.

If black spot makes its appearance,
the benches should be gone over daily
and all affected- leaves picked off and
destroyed. Neglect or carelessness in
this matter, especially during dark
weather, when the disease spreads most
rapidly, will soon result in a lot of dam-
age, if it does not entirely ruin the
stock. ElBES.

THE ROSE BEETLE.

From several sections of the country,
but especially from the eastern section
of New Jersey, comes a report of the
groat and unusual havoc wrought by the
myriads of rose beetles brought out in
sudden response to the heat wave of
the middle of June. The larvae in the
meadows appear to do little harm, »but
a few days of extreme heat cause their
development into the beetle stage, where-
upon the march of destruction begins.
In a bad season, like the present, un-
countable thousands of the beetles
swarm upon vegetation, not only denud-
ing rose bushes but ravaging gardens,

lie interest than has yet been possible.
The beetles are slow of movement so
that their destruction easily is possible,
once a community is aroused.

BUGS ON ROSES.

My rose bushes are full of buds that
do not open. I looked at one of them
and I found it full of bugs. The bugs
resemble a red ant. Please let me
know if you have a remedy for them.
The buds rot before they open. W. G.

I know of no insect that looks like
"a red ant" that troubles outdoor roses,
which I presume are those in trouble.
If you had copiously and strongly
syringed your rose beds daily you would
not be troubled with red spider, thrips
or aphis of any kind. That we have
proved. But if you neglect syringing
you will be troubled with all these minute
enemies. All you can do now is to
syringe leaf, bud and flower with some
nicotine solution. Cover every particle
of the plant possible. A 2-inch flower
pot of the nicotine in one and a half
gallons of water is about the right
strength. It is expensive stuff, unless
you consider the result, but most effec-
tive against troublesome insects, both
outdoors and under glass. Especially
valuable is it against the black chrysan-
themum aphis. At the strength quoted
it will not stain the fairest flower.

It is easier to give you advice for
another season, and that it is to give

vineyards and orchards. The beetles
have a predilection for white and it is
reported as an actuality that in certain
localities in Jersey, possibly the same
whence came the original big mosquito
stories, the interference of the rose
beetles was such that outdoor laundry
operations had to be suspended; so
quickly did they cover and mar white
clothing that it was impracticable to ex-
pose it to dry or bleach.

Great as is the damage to flowers and
fruits, no practicable way has been
found for combating the pest when it
appears in large numbers. There seems
no way of destroying the eggs or
larvae except to prevent their existence
by vigilantly destroying the beetles,
which requires a greater rousing of pub-

your rose bushes a syringing with this
nicotine as they are breaking into leaf,
when every unfolding leaf can be
reached, and again once or twice before
the flowers open.

If these roses are under glass the
greatest enemy at this time of year is
thrips, a creature with abnormal powers
of locomotion, but so small that it takes
good sight to see them run. They are
the bane of the Beauty growers. A
.fumigation of red pepper will destroy
them.

It should be impossible to find any
gardener who does not know that all
insects that live on plants, whether wild
or cultivated, are found on the under-
side of the leaf. There are, perhaps,
two reason for this. The epidermis of

the leaf on the underside is more soft
and tender and easier to puncture than
the sunburned, storm-beaten surface of
the upper side, but a better reason is
that the instinct of self-preservation,
strong in all animal nature, has taught
them that if they do their sparking and
hold their banquets on the sunny side
of the leaf a rain-storm may come and
wash them off. A heavy shower would
be a Johnstown flood to these little
creatures, and so they have profited from
the experiences of countless floods. And
yet there are many so-called gardeners
who will not learn that it is the under-
side of the foliage that must be at-
tacked when syringing.

There is a curious fact semewhat in
relation to this that I have never seen
quoted, the work of nature and the evo-
lution of man. If you will roll up
your shirtsleeve as near your shoulder
as you can, you will immediately observe
that the hair on your arm from your
wrist to the elbow points to the elbow,
but from the elbow to the shoulder it
points to the ground. This fact, for it's
not a theory, I heard explained by a
Chicago philosopher, I think it was Mr.
Foley. Briefly this curious fact is ac-
counted for thus: When primitive man
first began to walk upright he found it
unpleasant when rain fell on his un-
protected head, for he had not yet
learned to cover his pate with hat or
bonnet (and very disagreeable would it
be for heads so poorly adorned with
wool as those of Mr. Marquisee, of
Syracuse, or W. S.), so when Mr. Nude
Savage was caught in a storm he ran
for his cave and as he ran he locked
his hands over the top of his head, and
so the storms of centuries beat the hair
or wool downward from the wrist to
the elbow, and while in the dim past
there was no historian or naturalist to
record this phenomenon, nature has re-
corded it most indelibly. W. S.

THE RAMBLER ROSES.

During the past few Aveeks we have
had many opportunities of comparing the
dift'erent varieties, both in the London
market and at flower shows, says a
writer in the Horticultural Advertiser.
It is surprising how well they have taken
for market work, the only question is —
will they be overdone! We are certain-
ly getting too many in the market, yet
up to the present they have sold fairly
well. Some have gone out to those who
hawk in the streets, and this in time may
materially reduce their value for choicer
work. 1 can recall the time when Aimee
Vibert was a favorite, but when it be-
came a common object in cottage gar-
dens, though very beautiful, it lost value ;
the same thing is bound to come with
Crimson Rambler and others. To keep
up their value as pot plants for decora-
tions, growers should do them in limited
quantities, and grow them well.

It is rather strange that though the
first Crimson Eambler was an English
variety, all the best subsequent sorts
have come from America. Dorothy Per-
kins is a grand variety, but Lady Gay
is likely to entirely supersede it. The
Farquhar is another of the same type,
which, as recently shown by Messrs. W.
Paul & Son, Avas grand, the flowers be-
ing of better form, and produced equally
freely. Debutante, a pale blush, is a
promising variety; Philadelphia has been
fairly well shown, yet it does not seem
quite so free as most, but the flowers
are certninlv better than the Crimson

Rambler and appear of a deeper shade
of color. In the singles, Hiawatha will
certainly have a good run. All who have
seen it shown pronounce the same opin-
ion; it is most remarkable how well the
flowers last, and the bright color shows
at a distance; it is one which does not
require comparisons to distinguish its
value, it stands out by itself.

The ramblers adapt themselves so well
to floral decorations that they should
always remain popular; yet when they
were first grown it was diflScuIt to get
florists to use them. I remember that
when 1 first recommended them I could
not Bell; and it was only on leaving
plants on approval that any business was
done, but this was quite sufficient. In-
stead of having them returned, orders
came by wire day after day. There is
nothing more difficult than to get a
florist to take up a new thing, but if of
any value, when once started, it is sure
to go; but one thing is certain — our best
florists like to keep to such things as
are not common in the streets. And it
may be with the ramblers, that once they
become too plentiful, they will never be
of further value for choice work.

A UNIQUE STORE SUCCUMBS.

The illustration on page 402 shows
the store of the Kapsalis Floral Co.,
Milwaukee. Mr. Kapsalis built this es-
tablishment, completing it about January
1, the construction being entirely of large
plate glass with iron framework. This
place was built alongside of Gimbel
Bros.' department store, abutting the
river. The entrance was off the west
end of Grand avenue bridge, one of the
most prominent locations in the city.
People crossing the bridge could see the
entire display in his store.

Unfortunately, however, after Mr.
Kapsalis had established a fine trade
and was doing a large business Gimbel
Bros, decided to build on the space and
served notice on him to vacate, conse-
quently Mr. Kapsalis had to tear down
the store on short notice, as he had no
lease on the ground. Besides being a
unique store, it was one of the most at-
tractive of its kind in the country. The
photograph was taken shortly before the
place waa remove(^ tio-cforp Mr. Kap-
salis' stock was reduced considerably.

Mr. Kapsalis was a heavy buyer in his
market and always carried a large stock.
At present he is negotiating for space
inside Gimbel 's store, but the opportu-
nity for business inside is not so favor-
able by far as it was at the old stand.
Mr. Kapsalis' enterprising nature will
not keep him long from making good
connections to continue the business.

MILTONIA VEXILLARIA.

Miltonia vexillaria is one of the most
beautiful orchids in cultivation, but one
which is not often found in good con-
dition. Commercially it is hardly grown
at all and only a few private estates
seem able to handle it successfully.
There are several large batches in Massa-
chusetts and probably it is better grown
in that state than elsewhere.

Miltonia vexillaria was at one time
called an odontoglossum. The genus
miltonia botanically is quite nearly re-
lated to that of odontoglossum, but
cultural requirements are a good deal
different.

Our plants are grown in a north house,
the floor of which is two feet below the
level of the ground. A blind is used for
shading during the hot months, but this
is not pulled down until the plants have
had an hour 's sunning. A minimum
temperature of 55 degrees to 58 degrees
in winter seems to suit them. A close,
stuffy atmosphere is ruinous to Miltonia
vexillaria. They love a constant circula-
tion of top and bottom air and this
should be admitted, even in winter, on
ai^ possible occasions. One season we
tried the experiment of wintering them
on the side stage of a cattleya house.
While they looked green and vigorous,
they flowered but 8i>arsely. We there-
fore hold them in a north house the year
around, a particular portion of which
appears to be just to their liking.

Pots or pans may be used to grow
them in. We half fill these with broken
crocKS and lumpy charcoal. For com-

post osmunda fern fiber mixed with a
little moss is used, lae surface being
covered with fresh sphagnum. A good
supply of water while growing, and drier
conditions later, are essential. We have
not used any liquid stimulant with the
exception of weak doses of soot Avater
during the growing season. This ap-
peared to be beneficial.

We once tried our plants in leaf-mold.
One year's trial was sufficient and we
were fortunate in not losing the whole
batch. In the way of ins^ct pests,
thrips is one to be feared. It has a
special fondness for this orchid. Over-
head syringing, frequent fumigations
and sponging with, or di])piiig in,
tobacco water will ward it off. If used
in house decorations care must be takea
not to leave the plants in more than
two or three days at a time or they
will suffer injury. For dinner-table,
mantel and other decorations, this
orchid is unexcelled.

It is unfortunate that very few col-
lected plants reach here alive, it being
a difficult orchid to sliip. ( ould it be
secured in quantity it would be in big
demand for June weddings in prefer-
ence to the bigger, showier, but less re-
fined-looking cattleyas. The flowers are
extremely variable in size and color.
Some are pure white, but the general
shade is from light to deej) rose.

forms of M. vexillaria. Hone of the

SEASONABLE NOTES.

Plants in the Field.

The plants in the field should be mak-
ing strong growth by this time and top-
ping should be looked after closely. By
a strong growth I do not mean a rank,
.soft growth, but rather short jointed,
well matured, and the eyes developed
ready to break as soon as the top of the
shoot is taken off. You can top a little
closer at this time out of doors than you

do ill the house early in- the spring, iit
fact, you should do so to keep the plants
dwarf and shapely. The eyes art more
developed in proportion to the j.'rowth
and will break more readily.

Then there is a great difference in
varieties. Some will naturally make
bushy plants full of shoots, and such
need perhaps not more than two stops
iluring their entire stay in the field.
Mrs. Joost, Flora Hill 'and Crane are
fair examples, while White Cloud and
ITarlowarden are just the opposite.
These latter kinds must be topped close
and often to keep them from getting

straggly and topheavy. Top them every
time they make a couple of joints; that
is the only ws^y yoa can get bushy plants
of these varieties. Keep on topping
your plants right up to the time you put
them in the house unless you plant very
late, and even then there should be no
buds on them.

Treatment in the House.

If you plant before August 15, there
should not be any shoots on the plants
that have begun to run up. You don't
want then^'to go right to blooming if
you plant early. There will be little call
for the blooms and it will be a needless
tax on the plants. The plants will be
much better if allowed to become estab-
lished on the bench before they go to
blooming, and the first crop of blooms
will be much better if the entire shoot
is made after the plant is established.
So give your plants an opportunity to
catch their breath before you set them
to work again. Often we see plants dug
and brought in with three or four buds
on them and a number of half grown
shoots, and before setting them in the
benches, these will all be cut back. That
is a very wrong method. There should
be no buds on them when you dig the
plants, and if there are you had better
leave them until the plants take
hold again. Then, if you deem it advis-
able you can remove them and any other
shoots you think necessary.

We sometimes keep up the topping
for some time after housing. Va-
rieties that make poor flowers dur-
ing warm weather should not be
allowed to develop any blooms until
cool weather, and by topping them care-
fully you will help them materially later
in the season. This subject of topping
is a very important one and merits your
closest attention from beginning to end.
Your success during the winter depends
largely on your judgment along this
line. If you do not top properly you
will have poor plants, and poor plants
cannot be expected to produce profitable

that were planted inside from pots must
be topped, too, until they have formed
enough shoots to insure a succession of
blooms after blooming comm^uces. If
yob can use the blooms to advantage,
you can let them come along as soon
as you have plants of a fair size. They
will make better blooms early than the
plants lifted from the field. In most

cases, however, it pays better to keep off
all buds until the middle of August at
least. The extra growth that will pro-
duce many more extra blooms in the
early winter will bring much more than
the few blooms you will cut.

crops. On the other hand, if you top
too late in the season many varieties
will run to grass and refuse to come
into crop until late in the season, and
much of your profit will be lost. Some
varieties will break and run into bud
much quicker than others, especially late
in the fall, and you must study each
variety separately and top accordingly.
It is safe, however, to remove every
shoot that begins to run up as late as
August 10 on all varieties. The plants

Fertilizers and Watering.

Have you put on that mulch of loose
material yet? If you have not, then do
it as soon as practicable, and if you did
not mix any bone meal with the soil
when you planted, then apply a liberal
dressing before you put on the mulch.
The plants will soon be in shape to take
up larger quantities of food, and bone
meal is a great growing fertilizer. After
you apply the mulch be careful about
the watering. Not nearly so much water

will be required to keep the soil moist,
and unless you examine it occasionally
you will be apt to overwater. While the
soil has few roots running through it, it
is quick to sour if kept too wetj you
want to keep it just fairly moist and
allow it to get on the dry side about
once each week. It will do the plants
no harm, and will do the soil lots of
good.

Look out for red spider, and syringe
frequently enough to keep them off. TMs
is not very difficult if you planted the
whole house, but if there is a bench or
two of old ones blooming in the same
house there may be a little spider on
them, and they do spread rapidly during
this hot weather. Dampen the walks a
couple of times during the middle of
the day and keep the ventilators open,
but remember that no shade should be
over these plants. A. F. J. Baur.

THE YOUNGEST FLORIST.

Many items have been published with
regard to "the youngest florist," a dis-
tinction which has been claimed for
many persons. Illinois' youngest florist
probably is Claude Wisely, of Murphys-
boro, who is now 18 years of age and
has been in the business for four years.
His grefenhouse establishment was started
as a diversion, upon the rear of the lot
on which stood his parents' residence.
Having a natural inclination for the
business, he rapidly enlarged. The illus-
tration shows the two houses which be
has operated successfully the past
couple of seasons. Another house is now
in course of erection at the right of those
shown in the picture. It is 22x40 and
at the street end is to be an office and
salesroom. The walls of the new house
are of 8-inch concrete.

ly ALCORN ON PEONIES.

I have read the report of the peony
show at Boston. Now, I have recently
come from the old country and what
surprises me most of all is the way that
beautiful variety. Duchess de Nemours,
is ignored. I will not believe it was not
shown, and being shown, how is it that
it was not among those favorably men-
tioned?

This peerless flower won the gold cup
at London in 1903, for Veitch, of Chel-
sea. I traveled all over France and
bought the available stocks, as I think
one that will beat Festiva maxima is
good enough for the trade. For those
who do not know it, I may say it is
not so white as Festiva maxima, but is
a flat, very pale cream, with a slight
showing of green in the center, which
adds to the beauty, making a refresh-
ing contrast to the white. Whereas
Festiva maxima soon falls, Dachess de
Nemours is stiffer and lasts double as
long, and this is a very great desider-
atum.

The Hollanders bought this up a few
years ago and sent the roots to Amer-
ica from England. I quite agree with
the president's remarks as to nomen-
clature. Personally I have quite 100
varieties and I think fifteen more than
enough. I suggest the two I have men-
tioned, also Couronne d'Or, Marie
Lemoine and Canarie. This latter is a
beauty when grown well, but so far I
have not struck soil good enough for
growing peonies at all. One has to make
it and it is a strong order. It is almost
an impossibility to grow them without a
very deep soil, and not only deep but
1 rich, the richer the better. This will

keep them dry in a wet time and wet in
a dry time, but in this climate they
must be mulehed well every year. I
wouIq also suffgeat shading, and of
course, disbudding. These hints must
not be- taken as sufficient to the novice>
and if a would-be grower is wise he
will employ some one to plant them who
understands the proper method to pur-
sue. The peonies I have seen in this
country look dreadful after seeing them
abroad and I conclude the conditions are
not favorable, but with care they can be
grown and flowered well. Abroad, where
the sun does not shine all the time, one
has but to dig a hole and drop the root
in, and all is as well as can be.

As to peony fungus, this is rather
rare abroad and it is partly caused
through lifting the roots annually to
propagate the stock. I never saw it on
any roots three years or more of age,
and I make a point of getting any roots
so infected right off the farm alto-
gether. O. W. D 'Alcorn.

GAILLARDIAS.

Gaillardias have been so materially im-
proved within the past few years that
they now constitute one of the most valu-
able of the several groups of plants avail-
able for the summer months. The more
recent of the varieties possess a robust
habit, are free in blooming, and the
flowers are of large size and rich color.
They have the additional advantage of
being nearly, if not quite, hardy. They
will pass through the winter safely when
left in the beds and borders; but, ac-
cording to my experience, the best re-
sults are obtained when they are regarded
as half-hardy, and treated accordingly.

The perennial gaillardias, which alone
will be referred to in these notes, may
be raised from seed, which should be
sown early in the spring, and placed
where it can have the assistance of a
little artificial heat. The raising of seed-
lings is a very simple and inerpensive
method of obtaining a stock of plants,
but, speaking in a general way, it is not
the best. Seedlings of gaillardias, as of
most other plants, differ materially in
habit, and in the form and color of their
flowers, and also in merit. The best of
the gaillardias that may be obtained
under name are certainly not expensive.
Moreover, it is most desirable that the
planter should know the character of the
growth and the color of the flowers of
the plants with which he is filling beds
and borders.

The beginning of March is the best
time for sowing, and a house ±n whicb
a temperature of about 60 degrees is
maintained is the best place for the seed
pans. The seedlings should be pricked
off into shallow boxes when an inch or
so high. They should be put about two
inches apart each way, and when they
are becoming crowded be potted singly,
3-inch pots being used. It is a good rule
to keep them in the structure in which
the seed pans were placed until they are
established in the shallow boxes, and
then remove them to an unheated house.

Gaillardias are readily raised from cut-
tings of the young growths in the au-
tumn or in the spring, and by division
of the roots in the spring. Cuttings
rooted early in the autumn should be
placed in a frame where they can be
kept rather close, and be shaded from
the direct rays of the sun. They should
remain in the cutting pots, with protec-
tion from frost, during the winter, and
be potted off singly some time in March.
Spring-struck cuttings should have the

A Good Form of Single Gaillardia.

assistance of a little artificial heat from
the time of their insertion until struck,
and be potted off singly as soon as they
are nicely rooted.

Some growers leave gaillardias in the
beds through the winter, and the practice
is frequently recommended. When win-
tered in the open ground ashes are heaped
over them to a depth of seven or eight
inches, this covering being necessary for
protecting the roots from frost during
the winter, and the tender growth from
the ravages of slugs in spring. The
practice is admirably adapted to the re-
quirements of many cultivators, but it is
not free from objections. My practice
for many years, says a writer in the
Gardeners' Magazine, has been to lift
the roots late in the autumn and to put
them in large boxes, about ten inches in
depth, with plenty of soil about them.
One variety is put in each box to avoid
the risk of their being mixed. The boxes
are placed in unheated frames and cov-
ered to a depth of several inches with
partly-decayed leaves. The lights remain
off until the approach of frosts of suffi-
cient severity to pass through the leaves
and reach the roots. In the spring, when
new growth has commenced, the roots
are taken out of the boxes and divided,
each portion being put in a 3-inch pot.

The planting of gaillardias should be
done early and in the preparation of the
soil it should receive a moderate dressing
of old hotbed or decayed farmyard
manure, or, to be more definite, the
manure should be sufficient to form a
layer of about four inches in thickness.
Plant about fifteen inches apart.

The following varieties are remarkable
for their high quality and effectiveness,
and can be strongly recommended to
those who require a few of the most dis-
tinct: Banquo, deep orange with red

center; Captain Alwyne Oliver, bright
yellow; Captain Percy Scott, deep red
with yellow margin; Glory, brilliant red,
the florets tipped yellow; Gold Standard,
deep yellow; Isabella Louch, orange-
yellow, with brown disc; James Kelway,
brilliant red with yellow margin, the
blooms exceptionally large; Langport,
rich crimson, with broad margin of gold;
Leonard Kelway, rich crimson with nar-
row margin of gold; Madame Patti, rich
yellow with maroon zone to the disc;
Primrose Dame, a pleasing variety with
primrose-yellow blooms ; Splendidissima
plena, a handsome double form, the flow-
ers large, the color crimson with golden
margin ; Vivian Grey, rich yellow ; W. B.
Child, deep yellow with red base to each
floret; William Kelway, bright crimson
with golden margin.

LEAF BLIGHT ON GERANIUMS.

Would you kindly tell me the cause
and cure for leaf blight on geraniums in
the houses? We had no end of trouble
with blight this spring. S. C. C.

We do not know that this trouble is
any specific disease; it is merely a con-
dition brought on by improper manage-
ment, mostly want of light and too much
water. I quoted a few weeks ago an
instance of a batch of the semi-double
pink ivy-leaved geranium that became
badly affected with diseased foliage.
The circumstances were these: They
were in a house that was kept at 55 de-
grees at night and quite light. Although
in only 2%-inch pots they were growing
most vigorously and had made a long
growth. Then they were cut half-way
back, shifted into 3-inch pots and placed
on a shady bench in a temperature at
least 10 degrees cooler. Here waa a com-

blQatioo of circumstances that was found
to bring trot>ble. The leaves at oiice
became curled and puckered and little
growth followed. T believe the tissue of
the whole plant simply became over-
charged with water, and little evapora-
tion ,took place.

If it is the rusty, puckered leaf you
are troubled with, then a severe drying
out for ten days is the only remedy I
know of. Too much w£^ter and too lit-
tle sun is the principal cause. Zonal
geraniums often lose their leaves or they
turn yellow towards bedding out time.
Leaves turning yellow is nothing but ex-
haustion due to watering them two or
three times a day. W. S.

NOTES FROM ENGLAND, f

Spanish iris is taking a more iftj-
portaiit place in British floriculture than
ever before, and the Hollanders report
some very heavy sales, both for outdoor
planting and forcing. This forcing
business is of recent development, and
although big quantities are being done,
not more than one out of ten growers
seems to make really a success of the
details of the cultivation. There are
four main points to observe: First, com-
mence with extra selected bulbs, if pos-
sible one size larger than what are
usually received from Holland for first
size; second, be very careful to let the
bulbs make ample root before putting
them under glass; third, always see that
the boxes are deep enough (eight inches
is not too deep) to give ample soil
for the roots to feed in; fourth, never
subject them to any extremes of temper-
ature, and never attempt to force too
rapidly. Do not let the frost get
through the boxes when standing out-
side and do not be afraid of giving
plenty of air when they are inside. The
following are the varieties used for forc-
ing in England in preference to nearly
all other sorts: Alex Van Humboldt,
light blue; British Queen, a tall white;
Cajanus, golden yellow, gold cup;
Thunderbold, bronze; Darling, dark

pl« ift the one day, nearly douUe the
i|W3|ber <)i^ last yfear. This is a «ig in-
>' crease in, -tib^ public popularity b^ floral
life in one year. f '

The importance of getting early de-
liveijy fit forcing bulbs, and more es-
pecialtei.- narcissi, is at last being, fully
recogalWd by English nurserymen.
Many kte bookiiig orders for narcissi
subject to delivery during July. Former-
ly It has been thought quite early enough
if the bulbs reach our shores the first
week in September. This may be all
right for bulbs that are not wanted to
bloom before February, but such sorts
as Golden Spur, omatus and Double Von
Sion that are wanted in bloom Christmas
week and during January, to attain per-
fect success must be boxed up by the
end of July and first week in August.
The essential point of early forcing is
that the bulbs should have as long a
time as possible to make roots. Tulips
do not appear to suffer so much from
late planting, as to a greater extent
their bloom is already formed in the
dry bulb.

Palms of -all sorts have suddenly ad-
vanced enormously in price in all
English markets and also Belgium.
Nurserymen in Covent Garden and else-
where report better business and at
higher prices than for the last five or
six years. Probably an advance of an
all-round average of fully 100 per cent
has taken place. What has caused this
big advance is not quite clear to grow-
ers and dealers here. Probably the
corner in kentia seed in Lord Howe
Island, Australia, arranged by Sander
& Sons, has affected the situation some-
what, and also the destruction of many
thousands of aspidistras, araucarias and
palms growing outside on the slopes of
Vesuvius, has a lot to do with it. Cer-
tainly importation of all foliage stuff
from Naples has practically stopped for
the time being. For some years, owing
to the unprofitable prices, less and less
has been raised both in England and
Belgium, and stocks were getting very
low indeed in all sizes, with the result

blue; Louise, porcelain and yellow;
Belle Chinoise, light yellow.

Quite a sensation is now being ex-
perienced in high priced orchid sales.
Protheroe & Morris have lately held
three more record sales, £4.000 being
realized at one sale for less than ninety
plants.

The Koyal Garden, Kew, was visited
on "Whit Monday by nearly 100,000 peo-

tliat if a demand exists prices are bound
sooner or later to be forced up.

ORIENTAL POPPY.

I want to grow some oriental poppies
and am in search of information. Can
you give me the desired information, or
put me in correspondence with some one

posted on the subject? It is my idea to
buy them from the jobbers, and sell them
for fall planting. Is such a plan feas-
ible? P. G.

It is possible to buy young seedling
plants now, and by giving them the best
of care this summer they would be sal-
able this fall. A better plan would be 'to
sow seed at once and grow on in frames
and not attempt to sell this fall, but take
good care of them during winter and
make sales in the spring. The oriental
poppy propagates by divisions or seed. Of
the many species of this showy genus it
is the only long-lived perennial. Most
of them are annuals, some are biennials.
The Iceland poppy lives only two or
three years. As we have experienced,
the oriental species is not very easily
transplanted, but on your own place
where good attention can be given there
should be no trouble. I should endorse
seed sowing at once in preference to buy-
ing plants at this late season. W. S.

THE EAST AND THE WEST.

As a horticulturist I have spent much
time both in the east and the west. I
went to Boston to attend the national
peony show, which was a grand affair,
supplemented by the rose show a week
later, when another splendid peony ex-
hibit was made.

Aside from these gatherings I visited
Mr. Shaylor, of Wellesley Hills, and saw
his choice collection and then spent ten
days with T. C. Thurlow, the father of
the peony business of New England. He
must have nearly 100,000 plants. He
also has a large collection of seedlings.
I spent some time with his sons in
marking those of great promise for
further testing. This is what we need.
Mr. HoUis, of Weymouth, also has some
very choice seedlings.

In Nebraska, too, we are doing much
along this line and two of our favorites,
east and west, are Nebraska born. The
writer has 50,000 seedlings under way
and hopes that among them there will
be many of superior merit, so that in the
future the lovers of this glorious flower
will look to America instead of Europe.
Those originated by John Richardson,
of Boston, some years ago I notice now
stand well at the head of the list and
it is hard to supply the demand. After
comparing notes for years and closely
observing those growing in both sec-
tions, I am convinced we can raise as
fine ones in Nebraska as in Massachu
setts. Phloxes are much healthier in
the west. They are not so much sub-
ject to mildew. I saw some fields last
week that were white with fungus, a
condition I never saw in the west.
Delphiniums do equally well in both
sections, but now for a word of warn-
ing:

Most of our books or gardening and
horticulture are published in the east
and are sent to westerners, and millions
of dollars have been lost in the prairie
states by following eastern directions.
The broad-leaved evergreens, the azaleas,
kalmias, rhododendrons and others of
that class cannot live in Nebraska and
many of the western states. There is no
use in trying them. They are aristo-
cratic easterners and will die rather than
live in the wild west. You might as well
try to transplant a Boston bred lady
from her palatial surroundings to a
lonely sod house in western Nebraska.
I was determined these shrubs should
live, and planted 1,000 under a screeta

and took the best care of them, but
every one of them died.

It does not pay to try the deutzia
family. They seem doomed to failure,
dying from the winter drought. One
of the most conspicuous and attractive
trees in the east is Rivers' birch. It
is a glory, but you cannot raise it in
Kansas and Nebraska. Five hundred
died under a screen in York, of the lat-
ter state. There are many other things
as sensitive to climatic conditions. Years
ago the writer sent many thousands of
choice mountain trees into the vicinity
of Boston and now he rejoices that they
are among the finest on earth. They
w^elcome him on every hand, clothed in
their royal robes of silver and sapphire.
They are standing as sentinels on dress
parade in some of the finest grounds of
all the land. These do well also in the
west, while some kinds do better in the
drier nir of the prairies than near the
sea coast.

The limitations mentioned, however,
need not discourage western people. A
wave of progress is sweeping that way.
Forty kinds of trees are natives of Ne-
braska. Some are fine ones. Three
varieties of the Norway purple maple
seem to do well. The great family Cf
1.'50 kinds of lilacs we can depend upon.
Most of the viburnums are a success.
We oan count on twenty kinds 6f
spirrens and as many of the syringas, or
phihidelphuses, so in the west there is
plenty to do with. Only spend your
money for things that will live and be
sure to plant successes and not failures.

LILIES FOR NOVEMBER.

We would like to have a few lilies
in bloom about the middle of November,
say lily of the vallej', auratum and longi-
florum. Can they be had from cold
storage to bloom at that time and when
should they be planted? B. F.

It is possible to have lilies every day
in the year, but November is the most
unfavorable time of the whole year for
the true lilies, because it is too early for
the current year's Bermuda crop and the
cold-storage bulbs as late as that are in
poor condition. Yet Harrisii and the
lancifolium section, including auratum,
album and rubrum, are successfully
flowered in November and on to Christ-
mas. We have never handled these lilies
to flower as late as November, but be-
lieve they should be potted and started
growing ten to twelve weeks before they
are expected to. flower. ^lind, there is
no forcing about the process, rather the
reverse. Start in as cool a place as
yciu b^ye and let tberii come along natur-
ally,';-^il'^ iocrea.sed sunlight as they ap-
proaijb. the flow^riiig ..time, but never ex-
posed ^p very bright sun. You want
good rdciffc growth before the top growth
starts. Several eastern firms make a
specialty of handling cold-storage lilies.

As for lily of the valley (which is not
a lily at all) it is grown in abundance
every day in the year. We have found
it better to buy weekly of a firm which
makes a specialty of this business than
storing in our local cold-storage houses,
which handle fish, game or embalmed
beef, which may not be injured by a
variation from zero to the freezing point,
but surli changes will not do for bulbs
or roots. Th.ey arc not dea<l. only sleep-
ing. Development is arrested and Ihoy

are anxious to grow, so start the valley
in sand and in a cool, shaded house and
let no sun or draught reach them, but
water daily until the bells are turning
white and then continue watering the
sand without wetting the flower spikes.

If the editor will allow its printing, I
can tell a little story about the use of
ice and what a luxury it is in some
circumstances. The story is not new and
that's no matter, for the longer you
live the more truth you see in the say-
ing that "there is nothing new under
the sun."

Three Chicago gentlemen were travel-
ing through the hot desert of Arizona.
They had Bass's pale ale, but nothing
to cool it. and at last one of the three
burst out with the exclamation, "I
would give a dollar for a little piece of
ice. ' ' A Hebrew gentleman who was in
the same compartment of the Pullman
said, "I think I can accommodate you"
and quickly retired to the baggage car.
returning with a piece of ice enveloped
by his handkerchief. A second gentle-
man oflfered the same reward and again
Mr. Cohen was a dollar in pocket. After
a reasonable lapse of time Chicago No.
3, having hauled in a jack pot, opened
his heart and Mr, Cohen tried to respond
but returned empty-handed with the in-
formation that tho baggageman says,
'Of [ take any more ice my brother
won 't keep. " W. S.

MOLES.

"Will some one -help me out of serious
trouble? The moles are destroying my
rose garden. The runs are almost all
over it. I have tried everything that
I can hear of, but have not succeeded
in killing a single one. Have watched
all day, but they work at night and the
beds look like they worked all night.
I have tried to poison them, but they
don't touch the corn that I put in.
Would castor oil beans do any good, and
if 80 do you pull them up when they
begin to grow! Would not want them
in my rose beds, of course. Have not put
any manure on the beds this spring be-

cause I thought it had a tendency to
cause moles to frequently run through
the beds. Does it? J. S.

This amusing inquiry is from a lady.
We can sympathize with her on the mole
question. We have been troubled with
them in violet beds, solid beds and also
in some plantings of hollyhocks and
dahlias. They make the beds very un-
sightly, but we never noticed that in-
jury was done to the plants. Our mole
is not the true mole of Europe. It is
not so broad but has the same broad feet
and hog-like snout, and has the national
character for activity and what it lacks
in size it makes up for in energy. Miss
J. S. wasted time in watching for it
while the sun was above the horizon.
It is nocturnal in habit, like some
of the Chicago florists. It may not be
generally known that the mole is
carnivorous and does not eat the roots
of plants. He is blindly pushing his
way through the soil to discover worms
and the larvae of insects that are found
in the earth. There is little doubt that
while his eyes are only rudimentary, his
sense of smell must be wonderfully de-
veloped. So it is little use to put
poisoned vegetable matter in the ground.
He will pass it by and prefer a piece
of Chicago canned corn-beef and, with-
out a joke, small pieces of fresh meat
that have been dipped in a solution of
strychnine or arsenic and then buried in
the soil where the moles are busy is likely
to bring their Waterloo. The only thing
we have found of use to destroy them
is a trap advertised in the Eeview. We
caught two of the rodents in short order
and that seemed all the crop. One mole
is so energetic it would lead you to
think there were a score.

I never have heard of ricinus beans
being of any use to destroy moles. They
are not vegetarians and if they do eat
the beans the worst results would be a
violent and an acute attack of summer
complaint, which is not always fatal,
even in higher mammals. Try the
poisoned flesh and do not bury it more
than three inches beneath the surface.
If it were embalmed beef they might re-
ject it, so use fresh beef that has been
inspected before and after killing.

TWIN QTIES.

The Market.

Business the last week has been slight-
ly better than is to be expected at
this time of the year. It appears that
the majority of the June weddings came
in the latter part of the month, and
without exception all of the trade had
considerable work in that Une. Stock
has been scarce with the growers, and
the dealers who grow none themselves
were able to keep their stock up, as
they could purchase from a great many
different places, getting enough from
all. The growers with stores had some
trouble in getting enough of certain
varieties to fill orders.

Prices have kept up remarkably well.
Roses are still selling at $1.50 per dozen,
carnations at 50 cents and 75 cents per
dozen. We have had a heavy demand
for peonies, but they have been very
scarce and of inferior quality. White
ones have been held at premium prices.
White sweet peas have helped out won-
derfully for weddings and funeral work.
Large quantities of wild ferns have
been brought in, and we have been

favored with a variety very similar to
the Farleyense which was a great help.

SuPauL

C. F. Yogt says that he has had a
good trade and is now checking up to
ascertain the amount of the profit for
the last year. He claims the best plant
trade he has had in many seasons.

L. L. May & Co. 's force is now busy
taking stock, both in the retail depart-
ment and the wholesale seed department.
Trade has been good the last year, their
retail sales showing a material increase.
Straggling plant orders still continue
to come in, but not in large numbers.

The Eamaley Floral Co. has done a
nice business, and is still enjoying a
small plant trade.

August Vogt reports a good trade in
his new store and is much pleased with
his move. His present location for resi-
dent trade is undoubtedly a good one,
and being on the best car line in the
city, trade will undoubtedly be brisk.

The plant growers, including Haugen
& Swanson, Henry Puvogel and Christ
Bussjaeger, are pretty well cleaned out
of plants, and all report a good trade.

Minneapolis.

O. G. Swanson still continues to have
the bon ton trade and reports a good
June business.

A meeting of the Twin City florists
to discuss their annual picnic was held
at Nagel's greenhouses. The following
ofiicers were reelected: O. J. Olson,
chairman; E. >Jage], treasurer; Balph
Latham, secretary. Arrangements were
made to start a subscription list among
the fl(yrists to defray expenses. It was
also arranged to hold another meeting
to decide what they would do, have a
picnic or enjoy a steamboat ride down
the Mississippi. Last season St. Paul
florists contributed $80, while Minneap-
olis florists contributed but $40. Come
up, boys, and look pleasant.

Oscar Amundson is doing a good busi-
ness; his location is a good one, although
he is bothered to some extent by the
Greeks. Felix.

The Minnesota Bose society held its
annual show at Plymouth church, St.
Paul, June 30. Eighteen awards were
made for roses, and Mrs. D. W. C. Buff,
of St. Paul, took first, which was given
for the best collection of roses exhibited
by an amateur. Mrs. Buff was also win-
ner of first in the second class, nearly
all of the prizes in the third and in the
fourth classes for roses. She won the
prize for the best collection of sweet
peas.

The best sweepstakes and largest col-
lection of roses grown by the exhibitor
was secured by J. P. Brown, of Eureka,
with the Eosehill Nursery second. The
second prize for the best floral display
also went to J. P. Brown, while the Bose-
hill Nursery captured first.

Mrs. H. B. Tillotson, of Eureka, was
successful in several classes, winning the
prize for roses in the largest and best
display of any one variety, the best col-
lection of peonies by an amateur, etc.
The best floral display for an exhibitor
outside of the Twin Cities went to J. P.
Brown. The premium for the most beau-
tiful rose on exhibition went to the Bose-
hill Nursery, which also secured a prize
for the largest rose on exhibition, ^ven
prizes in peonies went to the Bosehill
Nursery.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

Business slackened as the end of June
approached and Saturday found the
market dull. This week opened with re-
ceipts somewhat decreased and demand
inactive. There is a general report that
the shipping trade for the month of
June was below the average. The condi-
tion still maintains, although there are
a fair amount of orders in special lines,
Beauties being one of the items gen-
erally not in large supply. Kaiserin
roses are also selling well, although the
reappearance of one or two crops of
Bride of quality good for the sea-
son has in a measure detracted
from the special value of Kaiserins.
Maids are of poor color and realizing
only moderate prices. Liberty and Kich-
mond are giving good crops and sell
better than sorts of other colors. Uncle
John is in good shape, but Chatenay is
not often seen.

It was thought that the carnation
crops were passing off, as receipts were
lighter last week in spite of two or
three days of scorching hot weather, but
Monday morning brought in very heavy
cuts, especially of colored sorts. Prices
vary widely, but $1 to $1.50 per hundred
may be said to be the market on
ordinary grades. Occasionally a few
bunches are sold at the rate of from
$2 to $3 per hundred, but more often
the price is 10 cents to 15 cents per
bunch.

Practically all the peonies are cleaned
up except three lots, which promise to
hoid out for a week or so. Contrary to
expectations the stock is keeping ex-

cellently. The early cuts dropped badly
when brought from cold storage, but the
bunches now coming out leave nothing
to be desired. Prices have stiffened
slightly, even in these days of the de-
creasing demand.

Sweet peas are among the most plenti-
ful items in the market and they are
also of excellent quality. All colors
are offered, but light pink is the best
seller. Candidum lilies continue plenti-
ful and there are all the auratums the
market can consume. Harrisii have
been abundant all along. Pond lilies
are plentiful and other items of out-
door stock are beginning to cut con-
siderable figure.

Green goods are equal to all require-
ments.

John Degnan Resigns.

John P. Degnan has severed his con-
nection with the Chicago Rose Co., hand-
ing in his resignation as secretary and
manager on June 30 to take immediate
effect. The management will hereafter
be entirely in the hands of the Ziskas,
father and son. Joseph Ziska, as the
principal stockholder, is president of
the corporation and John J. Ziska has
been its treasurer, and to his cares will
now be added the duties of the manager.
Mr. Degnan contemplates a vacation trip
west prior to entering upon any new un-
dertaking.

Matthias Schillo Dies.

Matthias C. Schillo, the junior partner
in the Schillo Lumber Co., died quite
suddenly on Monday at the age of 30
years. Mrs. Schillo survives, with a
daughter of 5 years. She is a cousin of
Leonard Kill. The - Schillos are known

to practically every grower north of
town and the news of the young man's
untimely demise will be received with
much regret.

Dining Car Flowers.

The C. B. & Q. was the first road run-
ning out of Chicago to decorate with
flowers the tables of its dining cars, but
now most of the roads have followed
suit. The use of flowers was doubtless
due to the suggestion of Bassett & Wash-
burn, who were given, and have for years
bad, the order for the bouquets, using
up in this way their short, open and
otherwise unsalable flowers. As the de-
mand grew the Burlington built green-
houses of its own to supply the flowers,
and other roads did likewise, but in the
last year or two they have found that
the bouquets can be bought cheaper than
the flowers can be grown. To avoid pay-
ing high prices in times of scarcity large
ranges of glass are required. Therefore
the roads are turning the greenhouses
over to the men who grow plants to
decorate station grounds and are giving
florists standing orders for the dining
cars. The George Wittbold Co. now
supplies a part of the needs of the
Northwestern, while J. F. Wilcox, at
Council Bluffs, has the other end of the
order.

► Meteorological Summary.

June was warmer than the average
by quite a bit. The mean temperature
was 68 degrees, as against 66 degrees
in the thirty-six years since the' weather
bureau has been keeping records, and
as against 65 degrees last year. The
highest was 93 degrees June 8 and 28,

January 1 the accumulated excess is
472 degrees. The rainfall was 1.87
inches, as against 3.27 inches last year,
and an average in thirty-six years of
3.57 inches. Since January 1 we have
had six inches less than the normal rain-
fall. In June we had eleven clear days,
twelve partly cloudy and seven cloudy.

Various Notes.

The "Wells Fargo Express Co. on July
1 took over the business of the Ameri-
can and United States companies on the
Chicago & Eastern Illinois, Evansville &
Indianapolis, and Evansville & Terre
Haute railroads.

Sam Graff has returned from a visit

Columbus, O. He spends his leisure

fortunes many follow.

E. S. Ferryman was in town this
week. He is the proprietor of the South-
ern Floral Co., having bought the green-
house establishment of the Texas Seed
and Floral Co., Dallas, Tex.

John Poehlmann went home June 27
complaining that he had injured his back
in handling some heavy boxes of stock.
Nothing more was seen of him for sev-
eral days and word came from his resi-
dence that he was confined to his bed.

Peter Reinberg reports an excellent
June business, ahead of last year's
record.

P. F. Rentfrew, of St. Joseph, Mich.,
a grower of candidum lilies, was in town
Monday.

C. "\V. McKellar is getting in fine
cattleyas, but says the demand has fallen
away noticeably in the last week.

There has been so much agitation
against the unsightly billboards that the j
Gunning Co. is to sod in front of its j
boards wherever possible, plant flower
beds, shrubs, etc.

E. C. Amling says he is fairly well
satisfied with the volume of business in
June, but that if prices had averaged
as good as a year ago it would have
been much better.

F. F. Benthey looks for a good July
trade. The Benthey-Coatsworth Co. is
now cutting 6,000 to 8,000 roses a day

now in considerable request among the
growers.

E. H. Hunt is preparing for an active
fall campaign in the supply department.

Wietor Bros, are still cutting heavily
of carnations of good quality.

Shasta daisies again are plentiful.
Kennicott Bros. Co. is receiving some of
exceptional size.

Chas. N. Page, of the Iowa Floral
Co., Des Moines, was in town Saturday.

George Keinberg is propagating poin-
settias. He did quite well with this
crop last Christmas and proposes to
duplicate his success this year.

All the big growers report that the
call for young rose stock has fallen off

and it is reported that several will likely
be left with considerable quantities on
hand when all the growers are planted
up. The proportion of stock now carried
over from one year to another without
replanting has cut down the demand.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

Stock continues poor, but there is
enough of good quality coming in for
the demand, which was reported light
the last week, as the florists' business
has now reached summer dullness. This
condition is expected to remain with us
for the next two months. Some of the
retailers reported quite a lot of funeral
work the last week, and this is about all
they can boast of just now.

The weather has been very hot of late
and a good soaking rain would do a
world of good to outdoor stock of all
kinds. Most of the growers around here
are busy replanting and rebuilding.

Looking in at the wholesale houses,
one can readily see that really first-
class stock in almost everything is
scarce, but second-class stock is more
than enough and is not so easy to dis-
pose of. Brides and Maids are still
badly mildewed. Kaiserins, Richmonds
and Carnots have fine clean foliage and
sell well. Perles, too, are looking good
in flower and foliage.

Carnations are not any too good just
now. Prosperity and Enchantress are
the best of the lot. Lawson is very
poor. Sweet peas are a glut and good
long were selling at $1 per thousand
with shorts at 50 cents. Feverfew, corn-
flowers, hollyhocks and tuberoses are
among the outdoor stock that comes in.
Fancy ferns are easy.

II. M. Schisler, of the Schisler-Cornelli

ville and Granite City connections. A
car of this kind leaves every twenty
minutes. After the last change at
Mitchell, ask the conductor to let you off
at the greenhouses. There are two
changes, one at East St. Louis and the
other at Mitchell. President Ammann
is making great preparations and expects
every member of the club to attend.
Ladies are especially invited. A general
good time is in store for those who at-
tend.

A florists' summer league has been

BOSTON.

The Market

We have experienced some of the
hottest weather of the season of late,
but business on the whole has remained
fairly good. The quantity of really good
flowers now coming in is comparatively
small and those possessing the necessary
quality have brought good summer
prices. On the other hand, a number of
roses and carnations have brought little,
scarcely enough to pay the expense of
carrying them in. As many rose houses
are now being replanted and others
rested the supply of indoor roses is not
heavy. However, some good Beauty, Kil-
larney, Carnot and Kaiserin are seen.
Hybrids from outdoors are less plentiful
and the present week will end them.

Carnations sell at a rather wide range,
those at the lowest prices are, however,,
poor. Sweet peas sell quite well. A
good many outdoor ones now come in.
The white, lavender, pink and orange
shades are in best demand. Peonies are
over. Gladioli and lilies are scarce. Val-
ley continues in good supply and fine

Club Field Day.

In spite nf tlie oppressive heat and
the tlireatening weather there was a
godd attendance of members on the occa-
sion of the field day at William Sim's,
Clirt'tondale, June 30. Some made the
journey on steam carp and others on the
fooler electrics. Altogether forty were
there. An inspection of tlie large and
ii}>-to-date greenhouse plant was first in
order. With the exception of one house
devoted to a selection of English melons
and two to White Spine cucumbers, all
the glass is at ])resent devoted to tomato
culture, over 2.5,000 plants being now
fruiting. These are ])lanted in the
ground, trained to a single stem and
carry a tieniendoas crop of fruit. Comet
is the variety grown entirely indoors.
Some five tons per week are now being
picked and this will be increased very
soon. The pick July 2 was IL'O bushels,
all first cpiality.

Chrysanthemums were last year large-
ly planted here, some 75,000 being
grown to single stems. These are now
entirely discarded and the whole estab-
lishment the <oining winter will be given
up to violets and sweet peas, the latter
being grown for early spring flowering,
not winter. Over 100,000 Princess of
Wales vi(jlets were noted in the fields
and looked well. This, in Mr. Sim's
opinion, is the queen of violets and the
coming season he will undoubtedly be
the largest grower of it in America.
Outdoors some l'.j,000 tomatoes were
growing trained in a variety of ways.
A good many fruits had already been
picked from these. Everything on the
place was scrupulously clean and re-
flected the greatest credit on Mr, Sim.

The company Mas generously enter-
tained by ;Mr. Sim after making a tour
of his place and speeches were made by
Messrs. Gill, Duncan, Finlayson, West-
wood, AVheeler and others, all of whom
praised the Iiigli culture seen. The
afterncion i>roved a most instructive and
ptbfitnble one for the large company who
attortded.

Various Notes.

The Gardeners' and Florists' Club's
picnic to be held July 25 at Caledonian
grove, is being looked forward to by
many. As usual there will be a full line
of athletic contests for both sexes and
all ages. The committee in charge in-
cludes Messrs. Palmer, Heurlin, Duncan,
Finlayson and Riggs.

The demand for Disparene, a form of
arsenate of lead, is so great at present
that firms can with difficulty fill their
orders. It is used for spraying for the
gypsy and brown tail moths, elm beetle,
canker worm and other caterpillars; also
for clearing out the potato bug and quite
a few other pests.

Hot Weather.

At last we have had some really hot
j weather, which has shrivelled up carna-
tions and roses. In defense of our cli-
j mate I wish to say that the mercury in
I the thermometer seldom goes high, al-
ways much lower than other great lake
cities, yet the humidity was awful. For
instance, last Thursday 78 degrees was
the highest mark reached, while Chicago
, went up to 95 degrees, yet here it was a
perfect Turkish bath from sunrise to
long after sunset. The primitive and
inexpensive attire of our first parents
in the famous garden was all that was
', needed for comfort. Perhaps Adam be-
lieved that the fig tree was evolved to
provide wearing apparel and little
' thought it would become the essential
, food of the silk worm and hence the
; introduction of the beautiful fabric that
would cover the lovely forms of the fu-
ture daughters of Miss Clara Louise Eve
Adam.

towns of Tonawanda, Amherst anci
Genesee, but we have not yet heard of
any florist losing glass, and hope that
Secretary Esler will never hear of it.
We don 't believe in any such nonsense
as a hail belt. There is a pie belt, and
a divorce belt, also a murder belt at
present located in southeastern New
York state. These are all the result of
the vicious actions of man. The hail
is the result of the forces of nature, and
all florists who fail to carry hail insur-
ance make a big financial error. If
you have a million feet of glass and
think you can carry your own insurance,
you are making an economic mistake,
and if you have only 100,000 feet of
glass, or less, and all your capital is in-
vested in your houses, you are making
a much bigger mistake. You are facing
the chance of utter ruin. We know the
sensation, when not insured, of seeing
the dark clouds come up against the
wind, the fitful flash, the crack of the
atmosphere closing where it was sepa-
rated by the mysterious juice called elec-
tricity, and then occurs to you "we are
not insured." You offer up a prayer
of repentance and promise that you will
send in your application as soon as the
storm has blown over. The hail insur-
ance is a most excellent institution, ably
and honestly run. It has saved many a
man from ruin and it should be sup-
ported and encouraged from loyalty to
our business and brother florists at large,
and we deeply regret that some near
relatives of the writer unwisely think
they can get along without this insur-
ance. It's not my fault, John.

The Albright Place.

All florists or gardeners who have
occasion to drop off in this slow but
beautiful city should visit the model gar-
den and houses of J. J. Albright, pre-
sided over by Charles Sandiford, who
will be found on Cleveland avenue. I
have no right to invite the public to
visit another man 's private property, but
Mr. Albright is such a broad-minded
philanthropist and his gardener, Mr.
Sandiford, is so kind and good-natured,
that neither of them would think a half
hour spent with a sympathetic brother
anything but a fraction of life well
spent. Only a few of the pleasures of

this life can be enjoyed without the
help of your friends. The greatest
achievement will fall flat without the
approbation of your friends.

We consider a well conducted private
establishment a great boon in any lo-
cality. Here we can see how the newest
and most popular plants can be grown
to perfection. We can learn much,
among other things tlie possibilities of
plants where time and expense are not
too strictly observed, and what a joy a
well-ordered garden is where order and
cleanliness are observed and dirt, untidi-
ness, slovenliness find general disorder
are banished. Some pin-headed or pig-
headed men of all ages will say, ' ' Oh,
that is all very well; he has all the help
he wants and all me means he wants. ' '
That has little to do with it. It's the
man at the helm wlio must be given the
credit.

The new range of glass only finished
about Xew Year's is very complete.
Steel and cement are used everyw here ;
nothing to rot. The houses are 20x100.
They are models of the best work of
tlie Lord & Burnham Co. A narrow,
equal-span house is very interesting, for
it contains in one compartment Tele-
graph cucumbers hanging from the roof
by the hundreds. Next is a house of
Rocky Ford melons looking like green
swans ' eggs, a very interesting sight
and one that took me back over fifty
years, to the days of short clothes and
dirty paws. Eoses, carnations, orchids;
in fact, everything that is attempted, is
done to perfection. Just now there is
a grand lot of gloxinias and a hou.se
full of cattleyas looking as vigorous as
healthy cabbaget!.

The old range, where Mr. Sandiford
achieved such marked success with
flowering plants, has been converted into
fruit houses. Here you will see thrifty
young espalier peaches, nectarines, apri-
cots and farther on two compartments
of grapes of half a dozen of the most
a[)proved varieties, including a large por-
tion of that most delicious grape, Muscat
of Alexandria, and the good old Black
Hamburg. The vine borders, all inside,
are three feet deep and thoroughly
< I rained and the young vines are grow-
ing as only plants can where all their
desires are supplied.

I could mention many things of in-
terest about this model garden, but my
remarks are long, so I will go no fur-
ther and conclude by saying that it is
a place that not only is a delight to a
florist but still more so to the gardener.
Success in every department and splendid
arrangement in lawn and trees, vegeta-
bles, fruit and flowers are all due to
tiie executive ability and thorough gar-
dening knowledge of Charles Sandiford.
.Tu«t one remark will show the man:
"Why, ]\rr. S., 1 don't consider attend-
ing to these grapevines work; it is only
a pleasure. I love to be with them. "
That is the sj)irit that makes a gardener.

NEV YORK.

The Market.

Tlie improvement in the cut flower
market during the last ten days of June
held encouragingly until Saturday, when
the bottom fell out with a thud. Im-
mense shipments arrived; prices receded;
the market was flooded and the ice-boxes
felt the strain. But there was no com-
plaint up to that time and wholesaler and
retailer shared alike in the general satis-
faction. Commencements, weddings and
steamer sailings passed all previous
records. Stock up to Friday was at no
time overabundant. From now on the
yearly summer depression will continue.
Nothing out of the ordinary stagnation
of July and August need be expected.

As an evidence of this the wholesale
cut flower establishments all will close
at 3 p. m. until September 1. An agree-
ment to this effect had been signed by
every wholesale florist and supply man
with the exception of two at 3 o'clock
on Saturday and these can be depended
upon to support the humanitarian de-
cision. It is a wise movement, worthy
of the generous employers, and will add
without a doubt to the host of faithful
employees who in busy times know no
stated hours and often work through the
night when necessity demands it.

(Jrand Japanese irises are in the mar-
ket. Several of the leading wholesalers
have stock on exhibition that has never
been ex(;elled. Lilies are still abundant.
Immense quantities are used in some of
the big wedding decorations. Donohoe
had one in Jersey last week that utilized
many hundreds of them and with home
and tent embellishments dozens of cases

Various Notes.

Messrs. Hanft and Bridgman are no
longer with Mr. Young.

The holidays of the lieutenants and
book-keepers, ladies and gentlemen, in
the wholesale section have begun. To
specify would, before the summer is
over, include every faithful employee,
for the liberal recognition of service
by the cut flower merchants is well
known. There is no limit to their gener-
osity.

L. C. Bobbink, of Bobbink & Atkins,
sailed on Tuesday for his annual Euro-
pean trip.

.Tohn J. Perkins has taken Mr. Schu-
mann into partnership, the new firm to
be known as Perkins & Schumann, and
they are already established at their new
address, 50 West Twenty-eighth street.
The new ice-box just installed by the
firm is a fine one and ample for the
anticipated increase in business.

Siebrecht & Son have moved into the
store now being completed at the back
of their former "palace," with oflBces
on the first floor of the building. Ulti-
mately they will move into the big store
adjoining their former beautiful estab-
lishment. Some conception of its value
may be realized when it is known the
annual yearly rental to be paid by the
trust company which has taken it is $27,-
000 a year. Henry Siebrecht, Sr., and
Mrs. Siebrecht, are spending part of the
summer with relatives in Colorado.

Bonnet & Blake are now settled in
their fine new wholesale store on Lexing-
ton street, Brooklyn. They have leased
the whole building and now have abun-
dant facilities for a business of large
proportions. Many of their shippers
have been with them since the opening
of their old place years ago.

Hicks & Crawbuck, Inc., have added a
fine new outfit to their many conven-
iences, a horse and wagon equal to any
in the trade. They are preparing for a
big supply business as soon as the season
opens and have abundance of room. Mr.
Crawbuck is spending the summer at his
Long Island residence.

Mygtlon The Kevlew when yon write

An enormous quantity of flowers were
used at the funeral of the notorious
architect, Stanford White, nearly all of
the Fifth avenue retailers having large
orders and expensive designs.

The nurserymen and seedsmen who at-
tended the annual conventions at Dallas
and Toledo are back with reports of
cordial welcome and much enjoyment.
One of them, C. L. Allen, of Floral
Park, has made an extensive visit
through several western states, lectur-
ing in many places, and since his return
has celebrated his seventy-eighth birth-
day. He is a fine illustration of the re-
sults of right living and bids fair to
cross the century. Four generations
joined with him in appropriate felicita-
tion.

J. B. Ezeehel, in addition to his
wholesale work in New York, is con-
ducting a successful retail store at Long
Branch, N. J., this summer.

Some idea of the telephone facilities
of the city, which are now used by every
progressive florist, may be had when you

realize that the quarterly directory just
delivered to subscribers here filled twen-
ty-five freight cars and weighed 400
tons. It takes 200 men four weeks to
distribute them. Over a quarter million
names of New York's progressive men
are in the book. Every four months
365,000 books are distributed. Some of
the florists here do nine-tenths of their
retail business by telephone. The new
rate of 5 cents a message, now in force,
makes the service very popular.

The boom in Long Island real estate
continues and is playing havoc with the
market gardeners' profession. If it con-
tinues we will have to resort to canned
vegetable supply centers, and canned
goods of any kind are not very seductive
since the Packingtown exposures. Some
cities seem to think the inflation in
values of land within fifty miles of New
York city is artificial. Time will demon-
strate the error of this opinion. We will
have a population of six millions before
1910. Where will they live, if not with-
in a radius of twenty-five miles which

now covers the field of apparent abnor-
mal land increase in values! Every
piece of land that has been sold will
be occupied by homes for our citizens
within the time suggested.

Western florist visitors who spent a
few days with us lately remarked upon
the beautiful displays in all the windows
of our leading florists and the attractive
arrangement, novelty and artistic blend-
ing of colors that characterize them uni-
versally. I am glad to be able to sub-
stantiate this just comment. There never
is a day, even in the heat of summer,
when this important necessity of all
flower shops worthy of the name is neg-
lected. To specify would take up too
much space and to describe would make
individualization necessary. Each

decorator has his style and none fails
in ability to make his windows attractive
to the passing throng.

The Picnic

The sixth annual outing of the New
York Florists' Club on Monday was a
great success. A big storm came on
Saturday night after the hottest June
30 ever known. But in this changeable
climate a single hour brought a flood
and a drop in temperature of 30 degrees,
so that the longed-for agreeable weather
for the outing did not disappoint us.
The attendance was far ahead of pre-
\iou8 years, the sail delightful, and the
program was carried out without a break
and most harmoniously. Early printing
of the Review this week makes a com-
plete list of the prize winners impossible.

The committee worked hard and de-
serves especial credit. Prizes to the
value of about $250 were distributed.

The donors of the prizes included Presi-
dent Scott, B. Suzuki, H. J. Hoffmeir,
John Birnie, C. S. Weber, John I. Ray-
nor, A. J. Guttman, Ford Bros., L. B.
Craw, Julius Roehrs, Jr., Phil Kessler,
Charles Millang, Lager & Hurrell, John
Young, Charles Schenck, J. K. Allen,

O'Mara, Chas. Lenker, Jos. S. Fenrich,
Alex. McConnell, Schloss Bros., Leonard
Barron, E. W. Holt, Johnston Heating
Co., Alfred Zeller, J. G. Esler, apd
others. The greatest interest centered
in the ladies' bowling contest and ladies'
racing, the fat men's race, the tug of
war, the children's running and the ball
game. The day was one long to be
remembered, J, Austin Shaw.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market

The market conditions last week were
fair, with a number of small weddings
and entertainments requiring flowers.
This week conditions may be briefly
summed up by saying that there is busi-
ness in the morning and dullness in the
afternoon. A moderate demand exists
for funeral flowers, valley, sweet peas,
Kaiserin roses and Beauties being the
principal factors. Early asters have ap-
peared in limited quantity.

At the Close of the Year.

Last Sunday marks the natural close
of the florists' year. It was the end of
the half year, a time when business con-

ditions are best suited for taking ac-
count of stock, to be promptly followed
by plans for the next twelve months.

There is no question that the year just
closed has been one of prosperity to
most of us. Our products, from luxuries,
are fast becoming necessities to a coun-
try of wonderful resources. Our city is
becoming more and more powerful as a
great center of every branch of our in-
dustry; flowers, plants, seeds and sup-
plies arrive and depart in steadily
increasing volume. The public has
sliown as keen appreciation of qual-
ity, of originality, of artistic ar-
rangement in flowers as in water
colors and in oil paintings. This
taste every man and woman in our pro-
fession can cultivate and improve. The
marked features of the last year are the
increase in the use of flowers for special
occasions, as of joy and sorrow, for
plants at Easter, and to a lesser extent
at Christmas, and for the wherewithal
to garden in every branch.

Various Notes.

Bayersdorfer & Co. have received a
shipment of unfinished or natural tone
ware, the first seen in this market It
is of artistic design, the direct antithesis
of the Pompeian tone ware. Mr. Ber-
kowitz thinks it will have a great run.

M. Rice & Co. report that they are
now in a position to take care of orders
from^ their new importations, which are
arriving on every incoming steamer.

ness last Monday at 217 Market street.

AHEBICAN SEED TRADE ASSOCIATION.

Pres., Henry W. Wood, Ktchmond, Va ; First
Vice-Pres., Charles Burge, Toledo, O ; Sec'y and
Treas., C. E. Kendel, Cleveland. The 25tb annual
meeting will be held at New York City, June, 1907.

Michigan bean growers report a
good stand and the outlook for the com-
ing crop satisfactory.

It is reported that S. D. Dysinger has
resigned his position in the seed depart-
ment of Sears, Roebuck & Co. and that
another manager has been installed in
his place.

There uorc seventeen eases of Har-
risii on the i'retorian from Bermuda, ar-
riving at New York June 30. The prin-
cipal shipment is due on the next boat,
arriving .in\y 6 or 7.

Louisville, Ky. — It is expected that
the onion set growers will begin to har-
vest their crop within a day or two. The
crop is not expected to be more than
two-thirds of an average one.

The i)ea crops of Wisconsin are re-
ported to bo in good shape at present.
The, weather has been favorable right
along and tiie prospect at this time of
the year for a good crop has seldom been
better.

One f'hicago onion sot grower started
to harvest .June 25, the earliest date on
record. It should be stated that these
sets were of the I'earl variety, which
usually mature two weeks earlier than
the regular kinds.

C. C. Morse & Co. have reestablished
headquarters at San Francisco, at 171
and 173 Clay street, oidy sixty days after
the destruction of their building by the
fire following the earthquake. Before
another season they again will be in first-
class .shape to handle their Pacific coast
catalogue trade. The disaster has had
no effect on the contract growing and
wiiojesale end of the business.

Recent rains in the Chicago onion set
section north of the city have made thing.s
look better. It was doubtful, a week or
two ago, whether some of the pieces
would not have been more profitable if
plowed up and something else planted in
the place. Such pieces at this time look
as though they may make half a crop.
South of the city the crop averages well
and on the whole two-thirds of last
year's crop, which it will be remembered
was not a full one, is likely to be the
result when the harvest is completed.

week's Review, the expression was for
meeting in New York City next year.
Tlie decision rests with the executive
committee.

The by-laws were amended to admit
individuals as well as concerns to mem-
fcership, and the membership fee was
raised to $25. New members elected
were: W. P. Stokes, Philadelphia; W,
H. Morehouse & Co., Toledo; W. H.
May & Son, Alexandria, Va. ; Alex.
Forbes, of Henderson & Co., New York;
Rudy & Gartner, Paola, Kan.; J. A.
Dunlap, Nashua, N. H. ; J. J. BuflPing-
ton & Co., Baltimore; Cockley Milling
Co., Lexington, O.

Following the paper of James Bur-
dette and the report of Secretary Ken-
del, delegate to the National Council of
Horticulture, an appropriation of $200
was made to further the press work of
the council.

J. Chas. McCullough, for the com-
mittee on seed adulteration, reported
that in the committee's view the simplest
and most practicable way of preventing
the adulteration of clover seed is to
place a prohibitive duty on trefoil. No
action was taken.

W. S. Powell, of Boston, spoke for
the credit and collections department of
the Wholesale Seedmen 's League.

F. W. Bolgiano, for the committee
on customs, related a conference with
the authorities at Washington as to the
proposed penalties for undervaluation,
with no results of consequence, but was
able to state what forms of evidence
would be considered as establishing the
correctness of invoices. The committee
also said a word for the parcels post,
supplementing the report of Charles N.
Page, who went in detail into the sub-
ject of postal laws and needed reforms.
It was asserted that the opposition of
the express companies and the country
merchants makes the parcels post diffi-
cult of attainment.

The committee on government free
seeds reported on the effort made this
spring to end this abuse, but it was a
subject of little interest, as all are
familiar with the failure.

George S. Green, for the transporta-
tion committee, reported on the rate
legislation, but said that of greater con-
sequence to the seed trade is the pro-
posed uniform bill of lading.

He called attention to a recent im-
portant decision of the supreme court
of Alabama that makes a bank re-
sponsible for the grade of seed when
the bank collects a draft attached to a
bill of lading.

The cental system was urged by the
committee on weights and measures, pre-
sented by Charles Burge. The com-
mittee showed the advantages of this
compared with the system of bushel
measure.

In the absence of the chairman, W.
D. Ross, the report of the committee on
experiment stations was read by J. T.
Buckbee. He proposed that the laws
preventing seed adulteration be made
more comprehensive.

The committee on president's address
consisted of S. F. Willard, W. Atlee
Burpee, H. W, Wood and C. Cropp.
Their report paid high compliment to
the document and urged upon the asso-
ciation the desirability of several of
the president's recommendations, espec-
ially that which relates to the compila-
tion, with a view to ultimate publica-
tion, of a descriptive list of all the dif-
ferent varieties of vegetables at present
in the trade. The desirability of such

authoritative description also was
pointed out in the address by W. W.
Tracy.

Membership in the Merchants ' and
Manufacturers ' Association, to which G.
xj. Mc\ey was last year's delegate, was
retained.

H. W. Wood, for the committee on
legislation, reported on the year's legis-
lation as affecting the seed trade.

The program of essays was interest-
ing. The paper of Henry Nungesser
was read by Albert McCullough. It was
authoritative on the subject of "De-
sirable Imported Natural Grasses."
Floyd Brallier's paper on "The Seed
Catalogue from the Customer's Stand-
point," was read by P. H. Gage. Evi-
dently the customer's standpoint and
that of the scientific seedsman as repre-
sented by Prof. Tracy are not far apart.
W. S. Woodruff read Mr. Burdette's
paper on the press work of the Council
of Horticulture. J. H. McFarland spoke
for Niagara Falls and civic improve-
ment. Burnett Landreth gave an inter-
esting history of the seed trade, and
Finley Acker's paper related to retail
conditions in general merchandising.

Just before final adjournment, the
retiring president, W. H. Grenell, was
presented a handsome cut glass punch
bowl, a dozen glasses and a silver server,
in recognition of his efficient services
as executive during the last year. The
presentation was made by W. Atlee Bur-
pee, of Philadelphia, with brief con-
gratulatory remarks. Mr. Grenell re-
sponded feelingly, expressing his ap-
preciation of the testimonial of the re-
gard in which he is held.

The hospitalities were more open-
handed than ever. There was amusement
for the ladies every day, trolley rides,
luncheons, etc. Wednesday evening the
entire party was entertained at the
theater, the vaudeville artists having
been well coached on bits of trade gossip
and personal peculiarities. One after-
noon was spent at a ball game. But
the chief effort of the committee was
the banquet at the Zenobia Club on
Wednesday evening, when covers were
laid for 250. The tables were decorated
with clover blossoms and stalks of wheat
and timothy. The boutonnieres were
clover blossoms.

William H. Morehouse, of the Toledo
Produce Exchange, acted as toast-master.
With a few well received remarks he
introduced the first speaker, Mayor
Brand Whitlock. The mayor took for
his theme, "High Ideals."

George B. McVey, of Birmingham,
complimented Toledo on its numerous
industries. He also boomed his own
town, which is one of the leading pro-
ducers of iron of the United States.
He advised the seedsmen to become

EUROPEAN SEED NOTES.

' The radish croj)s arc having a bad
time, both with adverse weather and in-
sect troubles, and the yield promises to
be much below the average. I have had
no j)ersonal observation of these
troubles, excepting some few crops in
Italy, from which the reports were gen-
erally very favorable and a full crop
was expected. Init I should imagine the
bad weather lately experienced both in
the Krcncli and German growing dis-
tricts would cause the crops to suffer
very heavily. It is at these times when
crops are in a weak and patchy state,
and the jdants are least able to with-
stand the onslaught, that insects make
their presence most heavily felt. Prob-
ably the radish crops all over Europe
will be considerably below average, for
although Italy reported a very favor-
able croji for nearly all seed lines,
radish included, as ajiparently that coun-
try has not suffered at all as other coun-
tries have through bad weather, the
eruption of Vesuvius has quite checked
any hopes there may have been of extra
good crops. Since the calamity Italy is
worse off than other districts. In further
news r have from Naples the volcanic
rain of ashes, etc., has not only destroyed
existing vegetation, hut the thick layer
of ashes and lava whicli is covering the
whole countryside will render the land
unfertile for some time ami some grow-
ers say where it is very thickly covered
it will require two or three years be-
fore tlie soil can be successfullv culti-
vated B. J.

WIHBOLD WATERING SYSTEM

Awarded The

S. A. F.

Medal For Merit

..at the..

Washington Convention,
August, 1905

Several features of the System
have since been improved and
it is, for both greenhouse and
garden use,

PERFECT- PRACTICAL- PROFITABLE

With the WITTBOLD SYSTEM you can in hot weather keep your houses
from 10 to 80 DEGREES COOLER than adjoining houses not so equipped.

HERE IS WHAT SOME USERS SAT:

"SaveB 90 per cent of our watering labor. We now
have the Wittbold System in all houses. Do the water-
ing in one hour that foimerly took twelve hours— and
do it better. We are recommending the system to
our friends." W. B. DAVIS & CO., Aurora, 111.

"We tried the Wittbold System on roses in one house
and then equipped five more houses. We think the
Wittbold System soon will be universally used."

KLEHM'S NURSEKIE8. Arlington Heights. 111.

"The last season I shall use a hose. I have raised
one crop of lettuce and did not use the hose once. It
waters a space about twenty feet wide and the way we
put it in the cost is not very much."

STEPHEN HYDE, Carthage, Mo.

"As a gardener who has been in the business all my
life I wish to say that the Wittbold watering system has
much merit and will save much labor in the greenhouse."
WM. EDELFdEN, Milwaukee. Wis.

Write for other testimonlalR and the address of the nearest place where the System may be seen in use.

On the strenetli of wliat the WITTBOLD SYSTEM has done for those first to use it, we are this season supplylne

full equipment for many iarge places.

TO GIVE SYSTEM A TRIAL

Send for a Swivel Wheel, $8.00, with galvanized connections; or $8.60, with brass connections; and six half-
inch nozzles at 50c each. And see for yourself. The investment of $5.00 will be sufRcient for loo feet of pipe
and will afiford a fair trial. The >^-inch 50c nozzles can be spaced lo to 20 feet apart on pipe, according to water
pressure, and screwed into tee connections. No tapping of pipe is necessary. Where closer spacing is desired we
recommend ^-inch nozzles, to be tapped into pipe; price, 15c each.

THIS SYSTEM WAS DEVISED FOR GREENHOUSE WORK

but can also be used for outside work with best results
sheet of water the full length of the house can be suppl
directed upward from underneath the plants, downward
the soil in the bench is watered.

The Special l^ose Nozzle

The Special Rose Nozzle is just what
growers need for syringing. It throws a more
concentrated stream of water, in an upward
direction, with body sufficient to dislodge red
spider, etc. Can be regulated to suit the needs
of the individual operator.

Price, $1.00. Sold by seedsmen,

LOUIS WIHBOLD,

It consists of pipes and tips so arranged that a continuous
ied to a bench of plants and at the will of the operator can be
from above the plants or parallel with the bench so that only

The Wittbold Hose Nozzle

For greenhouse or garden use is far superior
to anything on the market, the spray can be
changed instantly from a fine fan-shaped spray
into any form or shape the operator may desire,
by simply pushing a sleeve backward and for-
ward. This can be done as
quickly as taking the finger on
and off the hose.

Price, $1.00. Handled by seedsmen.

WASHINGTON.

Current Comment.

The adjournment of congress coming
as it did in the midst of a hot spell,
has left the flower trade in a dull con-
dition.

There is not, however, anything to
complain of, as the statesmen would have
been foolish to remain here to hroil when
the mountains, lakes and deep blue sea
all sigh for their presence. While we
miss them sadly, may they all return.
Notwithstanding all this, some business
is being transacted, tihough not enough
to keep anybody in the retail line very
busy. The growers are getting work
good and plenty, regardless of whether
there is money in it or not. When the
dry spell ended there came a wet spell,
and all who have to do with outdoor
stock have had to fight to prevent them
being smothered in weeds.

The local growers are sending in very
creditable stock of La France and Kai-
serin roses. Carnations are badly stricken
with the heat, but passable stock of En-
chantress, Joost, Flora Hill and other
whites may still be seen. There is an
abundance of cut feverfew and some sale
for nice plants of it in 5-inch and 6-inch
pots. Sweet peas are not abundant, but
there is some good stock on the market
selling at nominal figures.

The heavy storm, noted several weeks
ago, made busy times for the various
park departments. What with cutting
up and removing fallen trees, pruning,
etc., they have had their hands full.

SCOTTT.

LOUISVILLE, K Y.

The Market.

Trade the last week has been good,
owing to the closing of a medical school.
The weather is very hot here, and some
stuff is suffering for rain. Some good
roses are to be seen and also some fine
carnations.

Variottt Notes.

Jacob Schulz has torn down four
houses and will build new in their places.

Henry Fuchs was given a surprise
party by his friends Monday, Jime 25,
at his residence on Texas street. A
dainty supper was set, and was enjoyed
by everybody. Dancing was kept up
until a late hour. Henry carried off
the honors for fancy dancing.

Mr. and Mrs. John Bohrman have re-
turned from Norrie much improved
in health.

T. B. Kudy, who was overcome by the
heat last week, is again able to attend
to his business.

ROCHESTER.

This week really finishes the season
here. Outdoor stock is arriving in large
quantities, and with the migration of
the people to the seashore and mountain,
who can pay good money for the best
stock, business is practically all in until
autumn. Eoses, carnations, sweet peas;
in fact, all indoor flowers, have been a
drug on the market. The glorious
Fourth may revive sales in a degree, but
as this is the only day, in the year the
florists sacrifice to pleasure, business has
to be done ahead. Still, prospects are
bright, if the weather keeps clear.

Crinuoo 'Winter Rhubarb.

Beplying to a query in the Keview of
June 21 regarding Crimson Winter rhu-
barb, our experience may be of use to
the enquirer. Last March a year ago we
sowed a packet of seed obtained from
Mr. Burbank and put the young seed-
lings out in May. They did little till
September, when they grew rapidly. In
November and December we picked sev-
eral small lots. Our climate is mild.
In January we dug up two dozen plants
and planted them in mother earth in
a greenhouse. They did well. We began
to pick in three weeks and have picked
ever since. The plants are now resting.
This rhubarb is evidently one to grow
in the light. I should imagine that the
pick from two-year-old plants would far
exceed that of any other variety, but it
would not be possible to obtain the same
amount as can be picked from an ordi-
"nai-y field clump in the same length of
time usually given to forcing rhubarb,
l^either would it be advisable to grow
it under benches or in the dark.

MANCHESTER, MASS.

The annual rose show of the North
Shore Horticultural Society was held in
a tent on the grounds of the Essex Coun-
try Club on June 27 and 28. The dates
selected were a trifle early for roses, but
nevertheless there was a fine display of
these and other seasonable flowers, the
exhibition being pronounced the best
ever held by the society. For best dis-
play of garden roses F. Brasch, gardener
to Mrs. James McMillan, waa in the lead,
Wm. Swan, gardener to E. C. Hooper,
second. For the finest display of
flowers filling one of the society's tables
Mrs. H. L. Higginson was first, Mrs.
McMillan second} For table of roses ar-
ranged by Iftdiee only, first Mrs. M. F.
Bartlett, secofltf Mrs. G. C. Cabet. Table
of cut pelargoniums, first Miss A. G.
Thayer, James McGregor, gardener.

The silver cup offered by Julius Heur-
lin for the best display of hardy herba-
ceous plants went to Wm. Swan, who
showed forty varieties, James McGregor

second. Other good tables were shown
in this class by Mrs. C. H. Tweed, Mrs.
F. R. Tibbetts and Mrs. W. Scott Fitz.
For best collection of vegetables James
Salter, gardener to P. Dexter, was, as
usual, ahead with a fine lot, Mrs. G. S.
Curtis, E. P. Hooper gardener, being
second. Other classes were well con-
tested and there were some fine honorary
exhibits. Judges were Julius Heurlin,
Kenneth Finlayson and David Weir.

PACIFIC COAST.

GOOD GROWING SEASON.

This should be a banner year for all
kinds of stock in central and northern
California. Never before in the history
of the nursery business in this state has
there been such a favorable season for
heavy growths and well rooted stock.
Under the usual conditions we do not
get any rain after the middle of April
until December, but we have had several
downpours during the months of May
and June which increased the size of
almost everything about fifty per cent.
Especially is this true of roses, shade,
ornamental and fruit trees, and millions
of stock ordinarily classed as second-
grade will be found under the heading of
first quality.

To a limited extent the excess of mois-
ture has interfered with the budding of
roses, one of the chief industries of this
part of the country. It has been almost
impossible at this time to get scions
well ripened enough to use and as a con-
sequence the rose growers will have to
do their budding when the sap ceases
flowing so abundantly. The wild stocks
also have a tendency to grow larger
than is convenient to work, but summing
up the whole proposition, the balance is
in favor of the growers.

With ornamental stock, both evergreen
and deciduous, the conditions have never
been better here, and the growths up to
date have been phenomenal. Esp^ially
is this true of maple, elm, ash, linden
and trees of that class, and if the de-
mand is equal to the quality of stock

that will be offered this coming season
there will be no complaints from the
dealers.

With the fruit tree growers much the
same conditions prevail, everything grow-
ing too soft and fast. Well ripened
scions are hard to get, and as in the
case of roses, stocks are growing too
big to be handled easily. This entails
quite an addition of work in budding.

Outside carnations are in splendid
shape with the greenhouse men. Of
course there have been a great many
houses allowed to dry out and a corre-
sponding quantity of stock in the field.
Some few growers I find are changing
their houses now. These were cases
where the growers considered it unprofit-
able to longer continue caring for the
stock already in the houses, and, having
plenty of time, they have made the
change to younger stock and will try
their fortunes again for the coming
season.

I am of the opinion that there will
be no surplus of rosea this winter, even
if we have quantities of carnations.
There are but few growers making any
effort to have young stock for the holi-
days. There seems to be a tendency to
keep over old stock and make the best
out of it that is possible. I am inclined
to think this is rather a short sighted
policy, and that the growers will lose a
chance to make considerable money.

It is certain that there will be a fair
demand for good stock, and of stock of
a poor quality there is always an over-
a"bundance at any time. G.

SANTA CRUZ, CAL.

G. W. Oliver, of the department of

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market

There is little to record for the last
week. The weather is very cool again
and this is a good factor where the
stores are not all that could be desired
in the matter of conveniences for hand-
ling stock. Business is quiet; really
nothing doing with the exception of fu-
neral work. Shipments to interior
points have almost ceased except for
occasional orders. The prices of stock
of all kinds have reached such a low
ebb that it is hardly worth while to at-
tempt to classify them. There is an
abundanco of good carnations, but roses,
owing to the season in some cases, and
to the neglect of the growers in others,
are very poor and with no prospects of
being much better for some time to
come. Maidenhair fern and asparagus,
which usually were considered well pay-
ing stock, have felt the fall in prices
greatly, and for the former 25 cents per
hundred fronds is about the average;
for the latter about twice that price is
asked.

Lilium longiflorum is about finished
and on account of the ruinous prices re-
ceived by the growers during the past
two months, I am of the opinion there
will be a great falling off in the number
of bulbs forced for another season.
Speaking of bulbs in general, it seems
that there will be a shortage of valley,
Bomans, tulips and Harrisii for the com-
ing season unless more of the growers
do some heavy planting in the near fu-
ture. The majority of the wholesalers
seem to think there will be but a very
limited demand for fancy stock of any
kind this coming fall and winter, and
but little preparation is being made in
this line. Many large orders for bulbs
have been countermanded and the grow-
ers will devote their attention to the
regular lines of stock.

A CHICAGOAN'S VIEWS.

turned to Chicago after a trip to San
Francisco. Speaking of business condi-
tions as he observed them there, he said:

' ' It appears to me that fully fifty per
cent of the population of San Francisco
had moved away. The salaried people in
lines of mercantile business have found
it necessary to seek employment else-
where, and they have gone north and
south along the coast, and some have
come east.

"But the city has left one of the
finest harbors in the world; it has its

primary conditions the city is bound to

most idle. It is not a case of acres of
ruined buildings, but of miles. The busi-
ness section will be rebuilt. San Fran-

GEORGE ELLVANGER.

One of the grand old men of horticul-
ture is George Ellwanger, the senior
member of the firm of Ellwanger &
Barry, of Rochester. In a few months
he will be 90 years of age. He has lived
at Bochester for seventy years and for
half a century was actively associated
with many of its leading business in-
terests. He possesses a kindly personal-
ity which has endeared him to the hearts
of all with whom he came in contact in
his long and useful career.

Mr. Ellwanger was born in a little
town called Hapbeck, near Stuttgart, in
Germany, December 2, 1816. His youth-
ful training was of that nature which
makes for integrity and industry. At
the age of 14 years he began his hor-
ticultural life in one of Stuttgart's lead-
ing establishments, where practically
everything was grown, from seedling
evergreens to seedling orchids. He was
from youth an omnivorous reader but
his preference was for works of a botan-
ical character and he became an author-
ity on many horticultural subjects, par-
ticularly on ornamental nursery stock.

About 1836 Mr. Ellwanger came to
America and at once located at Roches-
ter, which was then beginning to be
heard of in a nursery way. It did not
take Mr. Ellwanger long to start a busi-
ness of his own. It was where the of-
fice building of Ellwanger & Barry now
stands. Many reverses were met in
the early days, but, Mr- Ellwanger, who
soon became associated with the late Pat-
rick Barry, persevered and extended the
scope oif the business as the industry
developed throughout the eastern coun-
try. The business has been almost since
its inception one of the leading ones of
its kind in this country and now Mt.
Hope Nurseries are one of the show
places of Rochester.

Many stories are related of the pains-

taking manner in which everything was
performed under Mr. Ellwanger 's direc-
tion. For many years, and after the
business grew to large proportions, ii
is told that during the budding season
he insisted on personally making the se-
lection of scions and that in many other
particulars he was equally fearful of the
results of lax methods.

which he invested in many local enter-
prises. He was interested in many of
the industries of Rochester and his birth-
day anniversary was for many years the
annual occasion for a testimonial of love
and esteem by his associates. Up to
1904 this took the form of a reception
which many attended, but in that year
failing strength necessitated an aban-

'-^ !>

Gtorgt Ellwanger.

Mr. Ellwanger still holds the presi-
dency of the Ellwanger & Barry corpo-
ration. His son, George H. Ellwanger,
upon whose education and wide and
various acquaintance with world activi-
ties the father lavished his wealth and
personal interest, was secretary of the
company. His death early in April of
the present year was a severe blow,

Mr. Ellwanger accumulated a fortune

donment of this function and instead his
friends united and presented a silver
service. Subsequent anniversaries have
been marked by other evidences of the
high regard in which this calm old gen-
tleman is held in the sunset days of a
life spent in a community where few of
his old associates survive but where the
younger generation cherishes his friend-
ship.

COLUMBUS, OHIO.

The Market*

The excessive heat of the last week
has had its effect on the trade in all
lines — and at last, after one of the
best seasons in years, summer dullness
is upon us. Prices, as is expected at this
season, have a downward tendency.
Good roses have been in short supply,
but as the demand has been light the
deficiency has made little difference.
Carnations and sweet peas have flooded
the market; one can buy a good dozen
of the former almost anywhere for
twenty-five cents; the nominal price of
sweet peas is $1 per hundred, in any size
bunch the customer wishes, but so great
has been the supply that any price is
accepted rather than lose the possible
chance of a sale. There have been some
bright spots in the way of large wed-
ding decorations, and several important
funerals, which took large quantities of
stock and at good prices. A good rain
is needed, as it is getting dry.

The Flof isU' Qob.

Tuesday evening, June 19, our club
held its last regular meeting of the
month at Iroquois Hall. Vice-president
Curry was in the chair, and Secretary
McKellar was on hand. It was a very
hot evening, but the attendance was
good. The real question of the evening
to be decided was: "Shall the club hold
a chrysanthemum show this fall."
Opinions varied on this point. Those
opposed contended that if business was
as good proportionately this fall as it
had been the last spring, there would

be no time to give to the matter; the
enthusiastic ones held that even at some
sacrifice of time the show should be held
for the good it would accomplish in
promoting the horticultural interests of
Columbus. After a long evening's dis-
cussion of the matter, in which Messrs.
Curry, Woodrow, Hills, Bauman, Mc-
Kellar, Richer and Wedemeyer took part,
it was voted to hold a chrysanthemum
show in November. The meeting then
adjourned to Monday evening, July 2,
when a "smoke talk" and entertain-
ment will be held.

Various Notes.

The Livingston Seed Co. had a very
large number of floral orders for the
funeral of Governor Pattison, at Mil-
ford, Ohio. So many and elaborate were
the designs and pieces that W. J.
Williams went to the Pattison home with
them — in fact Mr. Williams took charge
of all the flowers sent to the funeral
and arranged them.

Graff Brothers continue to dispose of
vast numbers of carnations, but at
twenty-five cents a dozen.

Josiah Livingston, the vice-president,
and Thomas J. Ludwig, the manager,
as well as Frank P. Sperry, who ha.s
charge of the farm and field seeds of

KANSAS QTY.

The Market.

The bedding season is over and the
dull season is beginning for the trade
in this city. The sales of bedding
plants have been satisfactory, being
greater than those of any previous
spring. Stock was in fine shape and as
a rule brought good prices. Of course
there was more or less price cutting,
as there probably always will be, but
as a whole prices were fully up to the
average. The different greenhouses
around the city present a very barren
appearance just now, nearly everything
being sold out clean. The unusually
dry weather we have experienced here
this spring has cut the supply of outdoor
flowers short and as a consequence cut
flowers of all kinds are scarce.

Various Notes.

Mrs. Anna Schneider opened her new
store Saturday and it was a great suc-
cess. A brass band furnished music
all day in front of the store. Twenty
dozen carnations and a large number of
roses were given away; the supply was
exhausted before noon. Mrs. Schneider
is the wife of John Schneider, the
veteran Kansas City florist, and is fully
qualified to make a success of the busi-
ness. She has one of the best loca-
tions in the city.

Miss Jennie Murray says that busi-
ness is good with her. She had several
good orders for funeral work last week.

DETROIT.

The Market

The Detroit market lias shown signs
of weakening since the hot weather set
in, the public losing nuu-li of their in-
terest in flowers. Funeral work has
been holding on very regularly, but
cut flowers have not done so well.
Stock seems plentiful at the wholesale
houses, except in Easter lilies, where the
demand exceeds the supply.

Carnations and roses are coming in
large numbers. Sweet peas are also
quite numerous, but sales are good.
These are vacation days for potted
plants; they are seldom disturbed.

Vuioua Notes.

The Detroit Florists ' Club enjoyed a
fishing trip up the lakes June 28. The
twenty members who went spent a pleas-
ant day. The weather was ideal and
the fish plentiful. After being towed
out in small boats, each of the party
proceeded to catch the largest string,
the honor going to the man having the
most money along. The natives seemed
to have more experience than we in
hauling in fish, and they found a ready
sale for them.

W. W. Castle, of Boston, who is here
on business connected with greenhouse
heating, was one of the party, and says
he had a good time.

Charles Plumb has left on an extended
trip to the old country.

Hugo SchroetcT was married to Miss
Aureiia Kussell, of Newport, R. I., June
30. Many of his friends among the
florists sent tlieir best wislies by tele-
gram.

CHARLOTTE, MICH.

Charlotte has two greenhouses succeed-
ing one which for years was a success.
It is doubtful, however, if the one ever
did a larger business than is done by
each of the two. Competition is said
to be the life of trade. One dealer is
apt to consider money wasted if spent
in advertising, tliinking it would all
come to him anyhow, but two people in
the same business advertise thoroughly
and the result is that eacii sells more
than the one. That is the case with
Charlotte 's two greenhouse concerns.
The Garmans, in the near future, will
ere(-t another large greenhouse to be
used entirely for carnations, and the
Fuller Floral Co. also finds it necessary
to enlarge.

YOUNCSTOWN, O. — Incorporation pa-
jters have been issued to the Walker
Floral Co. John Walker and others are
the incorporators. The capital stock is
$30,000.

The Review has received a souvenir
postal from Harry Hayersdorfer, of
Philadelphia, dated at Firenze, Italy,
June 16, in which Mr. Bayersdorfer
couples with regards to the friends at
home the information that it is a hot
summer in Italy.

PITTSBURG.

The Market

The last week of June was all that
could be expected of it, and closed up
a fair month with reports of a satis-
factory nature from every one; and as
we enter July we will see as much busi-
ness as we can expect, for the extremely
hot weather has already sent most of
the flower buyers to the mountains and
sea-shore.

The growers have their roses planted
where they expect to plant young stock,
and will now dry off those which they
will keep in the beds another year, so
that roses will probably be scarce for a
few weeks.

Varioui Note*.

The South View Floral Co. is working
hard to get its houses far enough along
to p^ant stock, but is finding it quite a
proposition to build a range and get it
planted in proper time.

The Florists' Club's proposed picnic
has developed into another boat excur-
sion, to be held July 10. The large
crowd which attended their excursion last
year would not hear of anything but
another boat ride, so the committee char-
tered the beautiful steamer "Island
Queen, ' ' which has a fine dancing saloon,
and with a good orchestra the young
people will find their pleasure. Card
tables will be provided for those who
wish to play and the splendid program
of athletic sports will be pulled off at
the grove, as the steamer will land long
enough for this and the ball game.
Lunch and liquid refreshments will be
provided and served on board the boat
only. A good time is expected. Tickets
can be secured from any of the com-
mittee.

Mr. and Mrs. J. Flicker, of Home-
stead, Pa., will leave next week with
the Elks for a two weeks' trip to Den-
ver.

Miss Stoner, with Miss Maxwell, of
Wilkinsburg, Pa., has gone to the moun-
tains for several weeks* vacation.

Lincoln I. Neff has taken on the
amusement business as a side line for
the summer. He opened his Braddock
Amusement Hall this week. When the
summer dull spell comes on his four
stores, he is compelled to hunt up work
of some kind for recreation.

Hoo-Hoo.

DES MOINES, lA.

J. W. Lozier has purchased the busi-
ness of the New York Floral Co., at
405 Sixth avenue, and will consolidate
it with his store at 317 Sixth avenue in
the K. P. block. Mr. Lozier is operating
a store in East Des Moines, and an-
nounces that he expects to open branch
stores in other cities.

Mr. Lozier was burned out at the time
of the Rothwell block fire, but opened
up the following day in the corner room
of the block, where he continued busi-
ness until he found a more suitable loca-
tion.

Current CotniaeaU

This is a peculiar market in the bed-
ding season. Some of the florists seem
to think there is big money in poor
bedding plants at 5 cents apiece retail
and so, of course, 5 cents is all they
get for anything in that line. Others
ask more than that, say from 6^^ cents
to 7y2 cents wholesale for good 4-inch
pot stock and they do not seem to suf-
ifer from poor business. Dark red
geraniums were sold out early, but light
colors did not go so well. Petunias
sold better than last year because a few

Growers who have been stuck with them
or a year or two cut their supply very
short. Fuchsias did not sell so well.
Too much white fly on them made them
look shabby early in the season.

The Florists ' Club is beginning to
blossom again. The June meeting was
attended by about a dozen members.
Mr. JMills made an excellent chairman
in the absem-e of the president, George
Bayer, who lias to attend the city coun-
cil meetings every Wednesday, he hav-
ing been elected member of that body
from his ward. In order to enable Mr.
Bayer to attend to his duties as pre-
siding officer, the meeting was changed
from the third Wednesday to the fourth
Thursday of every month. Our vice-
president, E. H. Cushman, of Sylvania,
apparently has too many gladioli and
dahlias on his mind to enable him to
attend the meetings regularly.

Rode Bros., of Bowling Green, had
everything in the line of bedding stock
that showed blossom or bud sold out by
Decoration day. Mrs. Andreas, of the
same place, re j ports business as having
been fine.

Peter Stejmiik. of Fremont, O., had to
buy a lot of blooming plants, as he ran
short of stock this spring.

The Florists' Club members are trying
to arrange things so as to have all
members go to T)ayton to the S. A. F.
convention in a bodv. I shall report on
that later. * E. A. K.

MARANTA TIGRINA.

Maranta tigrina is a desirable addi-
tion to the list of ornamental-leaved stove
plants. It is of compact habit and sturdy
growth, producing ovate lanceolate leaves
from nine to twelve inches high, on
petioles, sheathing for their entire lenjjrth.
The leaf-blades are of a velvety, lus-
trous, grass-green color, strikingly
marked on each side of a grey midrib,
with broad transverse bars of rich, deep
olive green, the marking dividing near
the undulate margins into two tips.
This, like all the varieties of the mar-
anta, requires to be grown in a warm
and moist atmosphere during active
growth, and to be afforded a slight shad-
ing during the heat of the day. — Gar-
deners' Chronicle.

' CANTERBURY BELLS.

To get the strongest possible plants
for blooming next year the seed should
have been sown about the middle of
May, which means a year's growth be-
fore the plants come into flower. Bbt
it is not yet too late to sow. Few
biennials can compare with Canterbury
bells for a floral display in the
herbaceous border during the month of
June, the cup and saucer varieties being
by far the most attractive, the colors
varying from white to rose and blue and
mauve.

The seed is best sown in shallow boxes,
such as are used for rooting pelar-
goniums in; the soil should be light, and
the seed but sparingly covered. Stand
the boxes in a cool frame, and shade
from the sun until germination has
taken place; then stand them in the
open, and see that the soil is kept moist.
As all seedlings quickly become drawn
up unless sown thinly, lose no time, as
soon as they are fit to handle, in dib-
bling them out, six inches apart, into
nursery lines, the rows to be double that
distance apart, so that a flat hoe can
be conveniently plied between to keep
down weeds, and promote growth.

In the month of October sturdy
plants should be forthcoming, ready to
set out in herbaceous borders, and along
the margins of beds devoted to flower-
ing shrubs, etc. I Uke to keep the
colors separate, placing three or five
plants in a group, and allowing a good
space between each plant. Early in
April place a stake to each plant, and
keep the leading stem frequently tied.
In dry seasons it repays to well water
while the plants are in flower.

These campanulas are also most serv-
iceable in 6-inch and 8-inch pots, if
potted up in the autumn, and given
quite cool treatment, plunging the pots
in coal ashes, and covering them with
glass lights during wet or frosty
weather; quite early in June these make
a good display arranged with other sub-
jects in the greenhouse or conservatory.

In view of the complete knowledge we
now possess upon most garden matters,
it is rather remarkable that we still know
BO little of the habits, life history, and
proclivities of the troublesome little
mite called red spider. Not a season
passes but we see the results of its rav-
ages, either indoors or outdoors, says
the Gardeners' Magazine, and yet we
seem to get no nearer to the solution
of the problem of its prevention and
eradication.

Excessive heat is a common cause of
its development, acording to some au-
thorities, but I have a note of a very
bad attack in a quite cold vinery. A dry
atmosphere is, again, advanced as the
cause of its appearance; and yet in a
house of which I had charge for four
years the only vine in the house attacked
grew nearer to the water tank than any
of the others. Placing plants in un-
natural conditions has been held respon-
sible by some practitioners for the ad-
vent of the red spider, but most obser-
vant persons must have seen common
wayside weeds, such as the red dead net-
tle, moundwort, and ground ivy, with
foliage devoured almost to blanching
point by the tiny pests.

That it should suddenly be present in
a house which has never harbored it
before is a puzzle to many, but its pres-

ence is easily accounted for in many
such cases by the custom of summering
plants outdoors, and wintering them un-
dqr glass. New stock also will bring
the pest at times, and all new plants
should spend a short time in quarantine
before being allowed to share the so-
ciety of their fellows.

As a preventive measure, I do not
know of anything better than keeping
plants constantly moist at the roots,
maintaining a moist atmosphere, and
syringing once or twice a week. Nico-
tine will do the work, but it has a very
abiding smell and cannot be used on
stock just ready for market.

Taking everything into consideration,
I do not think that the old plan of
sulphuring the hot-water pipes can be
beaten. Sulphur is a deadly enemy to
red spider, and pot plants can be kept
clean by using flowers of sulphur freely
through a dredger. A bellows apparatus
will apply sulphur efficiently, or the
pipes can be heated; then a good plan
is to pour water over the pipes with , a
can, and smear on the dry sulphur with
the hand.

SCOTTISH PANSY SOCIETY.

It is interesting to find that an effort
is being made to re-establish the old
Scottish Pansy Society. A meeting of
pansy and viola lovers was recently held
in Edinburgh, Scotland, when James
Grieve was elected chairman; Messrs.
Dick, McKenzie, A. Sutherland, James
Stewart and C. Cockbum members of
committee, and J. C. Grieve, assistant
secretary. It is proposed to hold an
exhibition in Edinburgh about June 20,
1907.

DAYTON, OHIO.

G)nventioii Preparations.

Plans for the coming convention are
nearly completed. It remains but fo^r
the executive committee to finish the offi-
cial program, and all arrangements will
have been made for the banner conven-
tion in the history of the Society of
American Florists and Ornamental Horti-
culturists, to be pulled off at the shortest
notice.

The surprises will be many to behold.
The wonderful illumination of Far Hills
will alone be worth a trip across the con-
tinent. The exhibit promises to be the
largest we have ever had. The housing
of guests is well looked after. The
amusements will be many and out of the
ordinary. The prices for all accommoda-
tions will be very reasonable and the
best to be obtained. All points of in-
terest in the middle west are easily
reached from fair Dayton at reasonable
prices.

It i.s quite a compliment to be enter-
tained by the great National Military
Home, a thing which befalls but few so-
cieties in a decennium. The great enter-
tainment offered by the National Cash
Register Co. will surpass anything ever
seen by any visitor. Of this we are
confident. The work on the exhibition
and meeting grounds is progressing fine-
ly, and visitors will find everything neces-
sary to modern civilization, as near as
money can make it. All we have to say
is, "Come, and you will never regret it.
You will see much and you will learn
much. ' '

The headquarters during the conven-
tion will be the Hotel Algonquin. All
hotels are within one square of all street-
cars, taking you to the exhibition grounds
within ten minutes. We give here a list
and prices of the leading hotels:

AMERICAN PLAN.

The Algonquin— From $2.50 to f5 a day: 300
giieffts.

The Beekel— From $3 to $4 a dav; 200 guests.

The Phillips— t^om $2 to $2.50 a day; 1.50
guests.

Hotel Day tenia— From $1 to $1..5<j u day: 100
guests.

The Aldinc — From $1 to $1.50 a day: 25
guests.

The Vendome— $1.50 a day; 25 guests.
EUROPEAN PLAN.

^e Atlas— From $1 to $2 a day; 75 guests.

The Wehmer- From 50 to 75 cents a day; 50
guests.

The Stag Hotel— 50 cents a day; 25 guests.

The Urban— From 50 cents to $1 a day; 00
guests.

We have also on our list a number of
smaller hotels and many private houses,
prices from 50 cents to 75 cents for sin-
gle rooms. If enough applications are
made a camp will be established, with
well-furnished, double roof tents, four
cots to a tent, at a nominal cost of from
50 cents to 75 cents each. Any one
wanting accommodations, if no indivi-
dual arrangements are preferred, should
make application as soon as possible to
J. B. Heiss, president of the Florists'
Club, who will see that arrangements arc
made to the satisfaction of all con-
cerned.

The Market.

We are having a spell of the hottest
weather of the year and it is having
lis effect upon all kinds of stock. Roses
in particular are small and are scarcely
any good at all. Carnations are about
used up and a few more days of this
heat will put the finishing touches to
them. Most of the local growers have
thrown out the greater portion of their
old plants and some of them are begin-
ning to plant in with pot grown stock.
Sweet peas are coming by the thousands,
and they are of excellent quality, but
the great quantity coming in has caused
the price to drop. Still, the grower
hss no cause to complain. The demand
for valley has been good and there has
been scarcely enough to fill an orders.
Some nne longiflorum lilies are seen at
the wholesale houses. They also sell
well.

Business is showing the effects of the
hot weather. It has been pretty quiet
the last week. But even at that it was
not so bad, all things considered, and
we have no cause to complain. A good
many weddings helped clean out the
market and the demand for iuneral work
is reported good. With the advent of
July we shall expect business to be dull.
But when we consider the summer busi-
ness for the last few years we fii|3
that it has been improving right along.
To have a good summer business it is
necessary to have a supply of good
stock. Many gr wcrs are beginning to
realize this and are stocked well for the
summer trade; these firms are reaping a
well deserved harvest.

E. G. Gillett has taken advantage of
the first lull in business to remodd his
wholesale establishment. He ia chang-
ing everything about, so as to give al-
most double the space to handle his
business. He is also building a large
ice-box which will give him more than
double the cold-storage space he has at
present. When completed he will have
one of the best equipped wholesale
houses in the west.

The prospects point to a very suc-
cessful outing this year. There will be
prizes offered for the various events.
All that is necessary now is a good
day and the chances are in favor of our
having it.

EVERYTHING

Id our houses is just the best to
be obtained— not only the best
construction but the best con-
structive materials.

U-BAR QREENHOUSES
Are the Best Qreenhouses Built

Because you get the high water
mark in materials— you have a
bouse freer from repairs, and
giving to the plants the greatest
possible light— no houses are as
light by a third.

Tie Tesl of WoiKiDiuisIilii

No greenhouse is a perfect house unless all the
materials which enter into its construction are properly
made by experienced workmen. All of our material
is made by men who know that perfect material is
needed to make a perfect house and you can't grow
the best stock without a perfect house. Well made
material costs less than the inferior kind — less repair-
ing to be done.

Our workmanship will stand the most critical test
— how about making a comparison with the houses
you have ? Write for catalogue.

ventilating apparatus— the self-oiling one. In the first place, the
reservoir enclosing the gear, acttially encloses it and is not left
open at the top to collect the weather that drives in. The oil does
not run down the operating rod, making an unsightly nuisance —
It does run with poiect ease— is a perfect machine, built to last.

It Was Only
The Other Day

That we tore out and sent you a piece from the RevicW about some
pretty big iron frame houses the Cottage Gardens people were building,
or had built, and when we came across this last night, it occurred to
us at once that you seemed so interested in the other clipping, you
might sort of like to see this too.

Bat what we really want to call your atten-
tion to, Is our new catalog of the Truss House.

If you are turning over In your mind the
question of building— better get a line on our
truss and our way of using our tru^s.

Last week we advised you to g^'t our iron
frame catalog, because we belleTe so tbnroughly
In the Iron frame house— believe that for many
cases there's nothing so good — but we aiso want
you to have our other catalogs about our other
nouses want yon to know that we n»ake all
that's good in every form of construction.

ARTinCIAL REFRIGERATION.

The Modem Process of Cooling.

One of the more recent adaptations
of artificial refrigeration, in which it
has proven its superiority over the old
style ice-box, is the application of this
system of cold storage for cut flowers.
It has for several years been used by
one or two wholesalers, but only recent-
ly has it become practicable for a re-
tailer to maintain his own refrigerating
plant.

As the amount of heat abstracted, or
the amount of cold produced, is under
absolute control, the required tempera-
ture can always be maintained in the
storage boxes, whatever may be the out-
side conditions, and no matter how often
business may demand the opening of the
cold-box doors. If the person in charge
finds the temperature rising he merely
has to open a valve a little more; or if
he finds the flowers are getting too cool
he closes the same valve a trifle, and
the correct temperature is regained. The
simple regulation of temj)erature to a
uniform degree has been found to be of
the utmost importance. Not only can
the flowers be held longer in storage,
but they also retain their fresh appear-
ance and fragrance for a greater length
of time after being taken out.

The labor and nuisance attendant
upon filling an ice-box once, or perhaps
several times, a day with natural ice
and the much larger waste space required
are matters of great annoyance. Par-
ticularly would this have been the case
had the beautiful show-case illustrated
on page 461 not been equipped with
artificial refrigeration. The illustration
is taken from a photograph of the cut
flower display case in the salesroom of
the new store of John Breitmeyer 's
Sons, at Detroit.

As is well known, this popular and
enterprising firm occupies the first floor
and basement in the handsome Breit-
meyer building recently erected at the
corner of Miami and Gratiot avenues.
The building is equipped with a com-
}tlete modern power-plant for electric
lighting, elevator service, etc., and also
with an up-to-date refrigerating plant
designed and built by the Great Lakes
Engineering Works, of Detroit.

The refrigerating machine which, as
shown in the illustration, is of a new
design, consists of two vertical single-
acting * ammonia compressors six and
one-fourth inches diameter by ten inches'
stroke, direct connected to a steam en-
gine with a cylinder of nine inches
diameter by ten inches stroke.

The steam valve gear is of the i)iston
type, designed for a cut-off of % -stroke
and giving as high a ratio of expansion
for the steam as is practicable for tiiis
tyjH' of valve gear. Tiio ammonia valves
were (h'signed especially for this ma-
chine, the idea being to make them par-
ticularly quick acting.

In a preliminary trial before leaving

the works these valves operated perfect-
ly under a speed of 140 revolutions per
minute. The bearing surfaces of all
moving parts are of ample area and the
whole is constructed of the best mate-
rial and workmanship obtainable.

The whole equipment, which is placed
in a room thirty feet long and twelve
feet wide, consists of the machine, oil
trap, double ammonia condenser, liquid
receiver, brine tank and expansion coils,
suction strainer and brine pump. In
addition a cold-water tank for supplying
ice-water which is pumped to each floor
of the building is also connected to the
system.

without operating the refrigerating ma-
chine.

There are two cold boxes for the
flowers. One box, located in the work-
shop, is a dark one. This box has two
coils of cold-brine pipe around three
sides fastened to the walls.

The show-case upstairs in the sales-
room is beautifully fitted up to har-
monize with its magnificent surround-
ings. It also has two coils of cold-brine
pipe, but they are completely hidden
above the ceiling, which is composed of
plate glass mirrors. A drip-pan above
the mirrors carries off the moisture as
it drips from the pipes. Air ducts are
arranged in such a manner that a con-
stant circulation of air is forced down
one side of the box and up the other
to the brine coils, over and around
which it passes and when it is cooled.
The room is always dry and customers
may be admitted.

Philip Breitmeyer, in speaking of the
apparatus, said: "We are much pleased
with the artificial refrigeration installed
for us in our new store. We have no
ice to handle and no muss to clean up,
but always a place ready, clean and

Refrigerating Machine in the Breitmeyer Store, Detroit.

(Steam engine with two vertical, self-actlD? ammonia compreBsors.)

The rofrigemtion supplied to the
store boxes is by the brine system, the
brine tank having sutiicient capacity for
maintaining the temperature overnight
by simply keeping the brine pump going

sweet. We are satisfied that the process
is ahead of ice for cooling rooms for
flowers and Me certainly should not like
to return to the old system."

RIBBONS.

The fashion writer for a Sunday paper
has discovered that "florists are no
longer content to decorate flowers with
several dollars' worth of ribbon. That
cannot bo niade to cost enough, what-
ever the quality of the ribbon may be.
So it has become the fashion to tie up
the boxes in ribbons. From the most
expensive shops there are sent out now
boxes bound at one end with broad
ribbons which add at least several dol-
lars to the price of each box. Some-
times small bunches of the flowers in-
side are tied under the ribbon as an in-
dex to the contents of the box."

CALIFORNIA PALM HOUSE.

Would you kindly advise me how to
build a house about 20x80 or 22x80 for
palms, ferns, etc.! I would like to add
a row of 6-inch sashef on each side of
the house, which is to run north and
south, the west side being the property
line. How close to the Une would you
build? What ventilator would you advise
me to buy and what price; boiler; size
of pipes; how many runs; expansion
tank; size and thickness of glass, pitch,
etc.? I have enough sashbars for one
side made of 2x3 Oregon pine fourteen
feet long, and would like to make th^,
frame and all of wood if advisable, as
our redwood lasts very long in the
ground and above. Would it be neces-
sary to put posts in the ground, or would
a mottsill screwed on the concrete answer
the purpose? Would you have one row
of posts through the center or two Tovfil^
one each side, and how far from the
center to have them convenient for the

with this inquiry and as the writer has
never been in California some errors
may be made. First then, if you are
anxious to use the 14-foot sashbars which
you already have, make your house
twenty-one feet wide from the out-
side to outside of posts and make
each side of the roof fourteen
feet. This will be a steep roof,
but so much the better for your climate,
because it will not be so hot a house
in summer. Supposing your east wall is
five feet to where the roof springs. Then
I know of no objection to running a
row of 6-foot sashes along it, but con-
nect it to the larger house in such a
way that there is little tendency to cause
rot.

As to the west line, that is a ques-
tion of local conditions. If you are
sure your neighbor will always admit
you to his lot with ladders to paint or
repair the roof of the greenhouse, then
you might put your west wall on your
property line. We think, however, you
should keep back three feet from your
line so that you would not have to ask
favors of any one.

In the east all commercial florists
use for greenhouse building that splen-
did wood known as southern cypress,
and now we are using cypress for
benches. We would hardly think the
freight charge from Louisiana to Los
Angeles would be as high as it would
be from the gulf states to New York
s^ate; still, we hear such wonderful
praise of the Oregon and Washington
redwood and other firs that there should
be no need of your using any other, ex-
cept that the eaaitern and Chicago horti-
cultural builders know just what is

Refriseratiof Apparatus iti the'Batement of the Breitmeyer Store, Detroit.

use of the ventilators? Would one row
of ventilators do? Our temperature
very seldom goes below the freezing
point. For fuel we have soft coal at
$9 per ton. Crude oil is cheap, but I
think my neighbors would not like the
soot. Gas is 85 cents per 1,000 cubic
feet. Which do vou think is the best
to use? J F. H.

There are many questions connected

wanted and if you send one of these
firms the width, height and size of ven-
tilators, they will send you material cut
to the minutest dimensions, with blue
print to guide in erection, and the
merest novice in carpentering can put
it together.

The ventilation should be ample, es-
pecially in your climate. It should be
three feet deep, hinged at the ridge.

and should continue along the entire
house on the east slope of your roof.
I am not supposed to recommend any
particular ventilating apparatus any
more than I am pots, pipes or boilers.
Any of them will serve your purpose.
Write to the advertisers in the Keview
for prices.

You must need but very little artificial
heat in a house in Los Angeles, and
that little more to avoid dampness in
the rainy season than to resist cold.
Therefore, the use of steam would be
absurd for several reasons. A hot-water
heater is much the best for your size
of house. Eight runs of 2-inch pipe
will be more than sufficient for your
house, viz., four fiows and four returns.

As for the expansion tank and ar-
rangement of pipes, it would be im-
possible to go into that in these columns,
as we do not know whether your heater
will be on the level of the greenhouse
floor or six feet below it. There is
really no work in this country that is a
guide to any one doing his own heating.
I know of none I can recommend. The
greatest errors prevail on the subject,
and no two places being just alike, it
is impossible to make a plan for heating
unless you are perfectly familiar with
the place. If you will draw a perfect
plan of your house, showing position of
boiler, depth of stokehole, all doors,
paths, benches, etc, and send it to a
New York or Chicago specialist on heat-
ing, he will draw you a plan showing
how to arrange the pipes and will charge
you for it as he should; or you can wait
until September, and buy the Florists'
Manual, wherein the writer has set
down the principles of hot-water heat-
ing and its practical application to the
extent of several pages,

Ab for the walls and frame of you^
house, I would put red cedar or red-
wood posts three feet in the ground
and set them in cement four feet apart,
with two thiciiuesses of boards and an
air space of half an inch between the
boards. You will have a wall that will
last many years and is easily renewed
when it does give out.

The plate goes on top of the posts and
the bars go from plate to ridgepole. By
all means you need an upright support
under the ridge. A 1 14 -inch gaspipe
is large and strong enough, but there
is where the principal support is needed.
One for every sixteen feet of ridge is
enough. In addition to this center and
principal support of the roof you will
need two other lines of uprights (1-inch
pipe is heavy enough for these), and
they carry a 1-inch pipe running the
entire length of the house on each aide
of the ridge half-way between the ridge
and plate. These supports are called
purlins, and are very necessary in the
east, or the snows would crush in our
roofs. The upright 1-ineh pipes to sup-
port the purlins should be eight feot
apart, no more, and every bar is
fastened to the purlin by a tin clip and
two small screws.

In conclusion I must say that if you
feel yourself somewhat rusty on green-
house building and heating you will save
money and enjoy much comfort by send-
ing a sketch of your intentions to a
practical and responsible horticultural
builder, of whom there are several in
Chicago, and that is a thousand miles
nearer you than New York; he will send
you blue prints of building and heat-
ing, which are very easily understood,
and it will save you lots of money and
worry. W. S.

CALLA LILIES IN SOLID BEDS.

We are building a new house 20x100,
running north and south. We will plant
carnations on the side benches, thirty
inches from the ground, and think of
planting calla lilies in the center bed,
making it a solid bed ten inches high.
Would they do well in a j)lace like that?
Our idea is not to have the center bed
as high as the side benches, as the lilies
may grow too high and shade the car-
nations. Please let us have your opin-
ion of it. A. R. & S.

Your plan is the very best arrange-
ment you can make of a house that
runs north and south. The callas will
not grow so high that they will shade
either the east or west bench of carna-
tions. Remember that the calla needs a
high temperature to make it i)n)fital)k',
so you should plant varieties of carna-
tions that thrive best in a night tem-
perature of .'55 degrees. If the natural
surface of your house is dry, or a grav-
elly soil, you will not need any drain-
age, but ten inches is waste of material
and if you give the callas eight inches
of good soil it is all they need. It is
best to lift the roots in .Tune or July,
give them a complete rest for two
months, and replenish the soil.

SIX BEST GERANIUMS.

We wish to grow only six varieties
of geraniums. T'lease name the six best
• ommercial varieties and state what per-
centage of each to grow. S. & Y. C.

Your correspondent does not state for

what purpose the geraniums are wanted;
and that makes some difference. For
instance, if for bedding I should ven-
ture to include several single varieties;
notably Mrs. E. G. Hill, the large sal-
mon, and Dryden are excellent single
bedders, and even old single General
Grant is unsurpassed where a brilliant
mass of scarlet is desired.

Then there is the market grower who
wants his plants to make a great show
at the time the public is buying. I
would put Jean Viaud in this class.

Again, there are a few semi-double
varieties that are especially good for
vases because they are particularly free-
flowering and can withstand the hard
treatment that all vase plants are called
upon to endure. I commented this
spring on what 1 thought was the too
l)revalent use of the crimson semi-dou-
ble S. A. Nutt, yet if we had attempted
to fill all the vases and beds with N'utt
that were ordered we should have needed
at least seventy-five per cent of all the
geraniums we grew to be of that vari-
ety, such is the jniblic faith in its hardy
constitution and free-flowering quality.
Still it has a fault. The florets are so
crowded that after a shower they rot.
making the center of the truss black
instead of crimson or scarlet.

The question is, which are the best
six geraniums? You are wise not to
grow a great number of varieties. Here
then is my opinion on the best six vari-
eties for all purposes: S. A. Nutt, fifty
per cent; Marquise de Castellane, ten
per cent: Alphonse Ricard, ten per cent;
Beaute Poitevine, fifteen per cent; Mrs.
Frances Perkins, ten per cent; La Fa-
vorite, five per cent. W. S.

THE SMALL WHITE FLY.

I am sending you a leaf containing
the egg of a small white fly that is caus-
ing trouble in our greenhouses. It is
particularly fond of ageratums, helio-
tropes and moonvines, and is now on the
chrysanthemums. The usual remedies
for other insects do not seem to ex-
terminate it. What can we use to get
rid of it? M. L O.

This little insect, known to florists as
the white fly, repeatedly has been written
up in the columns of the Review. Strange
to say. it has never invaded the green-
houses of the writer, yet we have
noticed its ravages in the h()ii.«es of
neighbors. It is omnivorous — not that
it will cat a sausage, ire cream, Lim-
burger cheese or potted corned beef, —
Init few things in tlio vegetable king-
dom docs it disdain. Fumigation with
tobacco in any form is futile and as
for li(jui<l forms of nicotine, it ia im-
possible to cover every ]»art of a plant.
The simple and eff'ectual use of hydro-
cyanic acid gas seems the only sure de-
stroyer of this troublesoue creature.
Many florists are afraid to explode this
gas in their houses, having read of some
losses. The formula I recommend is
perfectly safe, will injure no plant and
is death to all creatures that have lungs.
Scale or mealy bug it has no eff'ect on.
The formula I submit is largely my
own, the conclusion of many experi-
ments. Learned professors of agricul-
tural and horticultural colleges will give
it to you more scientifically, but it will
serve the purpose no better.

Here is what we have found the best :

462

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

JULT 12, 1906.

One pint of water; one pint of sulphuric
acid. The acid must not be of the same
bulk as the water, but of the same
weight, which will be less in bulk than
the water because the sulphuric acid has
much higher specific gravity, or weight.
Place these two in a stone jar. One-
gallon jars are good. The acid will eat
through tin, galvanized iron or fiber
vessels. At sunset put into each jar you
use two and a half ounces of cyanide
of potassium, 'ihe combination of the
cyanide with the acid generates a deadly
gas which stops the work of lungs, but
is harmless to the vegetable kingdom.
This quantity is for every 1,000 cubic
feet of atmosphere in the house; keep
the house closed all night.

I say do this at sunset because at
that time we never noticed the slightest
harm to any plant, but experimenting
once at noon, several plants were hurt.
This is accounted for by the fact that
at noon the plants were more or less ex-
hausted, while at sunset and during the
following hours the sap had returned to
the tissues of the plants and their re-
sistant powers were at the strongest. A

house of violets, using the strength
quoted, will be entirely uninjured, ex-
cept perhaps a few sickly and enfeebled
plants.

Now, don't think you can improve on
this by doubling the quantities and mak-
ing one jar do for 2,000 cubic feet of
atmosphere. That would be a mistake.
Equalize the gas as mucu as possible
through the house. To find out the cubic
feet of atmosphere in a house may seem
a little troublesome, yet it is simple.
Find out how many superficial feet
there are in the gable end of your house
and multiply this by its length and you
have the cubic amount.

There is one point left. This gas will
kill all fully developed insects, but it
will not kill the eggs, so the dose must
be repeated two weeks after the first to
insure a complete destruction of the
little fly. Buy your cyanide in little
parcels of two and a half ounces each,
so that they are convenient to drop into
each jar, and when the last of the
cyanide is dropped get yourself out of
the house. Don 't stop to light your
pipe. W. S.

Lorraine Begonias.

Last week I promised to have more to
say about that important midwinter
plant, Begonia Gloire de Lorraine, so I
jumped on a car and made a visit to the
establishment of S. A. Anderson, on
Liinwood avenue, where Joseph Streicht
is manager, and wonderfully well does he
manage this small city place. In the ac-
quisition of the Eebstock place on Elm-
wood avenue Joe will have a chance to
show his versatility in a much wider
field. If Joseph can grow any one thing
better than another it is this popular be-
gonia; few in the country can do it bet-
ter.

There is not much to add on the sub-
ject to what I said last week, and just
how I found his plants is more of a
guide than any theory of my own. Last
December I saw his young plants in
2-inch pots propagated in September and
October from cuttings, not leaves. He
uses the ends of shoots of several joints
and cuts at the base of a leaf, where
there is a good eye, which will make a
good lateral growth. This is better than
propagating by the leaf detached from
the stem. They root quicker and more
surely. When well rooted they are
potted into 2-inch and carefully watered;
that is, watered only when decidedly dry.
After New Year's the young growths
from the semi-tuberous root will be push-
ing to the surface. Then the cutting
that is above the soil, which has a tend-
ency to flower because it is of terminal
growth, can be pinched out.

In January or February tiiese little
plants, still in 2-inch pots, are greatly
benefited by having the surface of the
soil carefully stirred. The benefit in
stirring is not so easily explained, yet all
practical gardeners know its great bene-
fit, not only to plants in pots in which
the soil has become hard and baked, but
more especially to plants in the field.

From November to the end of March
these begonia plants may be considered
as almost dormant and water is neces-
sary only when quite dry. By the end
of March or early April the growth from
the roots or corm will be showing more
vigor and the strongest can then be
selected and shifted into 3-inch pots and
about now will be ready for 4-inch. We
found many in 4-inch, bushy plants six
or seven inches in diameter, that will, if
encouraged, make very large plants, and
also many that were very recentl;^ shifted
from a 2-inch to 3-inch pots, tine little
plants, and some still in 2-inch pots,
which Mr. Streicht has every confidence
will make good plants by Christmas.

The 3-inch and 4-inch plants were on
the south bench of an equal-span house
and over them, on the outside of the
glass, was a lath shading. There is no
better summer shading. It is put on
about 10 a. m. and removed about 4 p.
m. The ventilation at the roof was all
that he could give. The shading is a
great point. Few plants like the exclu-
sion of sunlight, but many object to the
full rays of the sun, especially under the
very artificial conditions which prevail on
a greenhouse bench, with the roots
cramped in a pot.

It occurs to me to mention a few
prominent commercial plants that want
this careful shading; i. e., shade when
the sun shines brightly and no shade
when it does not: The begonia family,
the gloxinia and the cyclamen, and un-
less you are anxious and attentive on this
subject you will only be a seventh-rater
in growing these pretty florists' flowers.

Let me add that these very thrifty
Cfloire de Lorraine were potted in a very
liberal proportion of leaf-mold, which
their very fibrous roots delight in.

All the above are scarcely seasonable
hints, but we know that there are many
good gardeners who are not thoroughly

familiar with the peculiarities of this
hybrid begonia. There may be other
methods of growing this begonia, but
what I see I believe, and as some of my
illustrious countrymen say, ' ' The proof
of the pudding is in the eating."

Impatiens Holstit.

We lately made the acquaintance of a
very striking plant, Impatiens Holstii, a
balsam from Zanzibar, a small island on
the east coast of Africa near the equator,
the center of the ivory and the slave
trade, where if sin and iniquity still live.
Flora's fair blossoms flourish. This bal-
sam is far more attractive than Impatiens
Sultani. It has bright, vermilion-scarlet
flowers of more than one inch in diam-
eter. Seeds can be sown in the spring,
when it will flower all summer and we
have the opinion of an expert that if
propagated at the end of July from
lateral growths of the stronger stems it
can be made a very attractive winter-
flowering plant.

Pansies.

How quickly the seasons revolve. They
roll around incredibly fast. Especially
is this apparent when you reach the
shady side of half a century, and this
cornes home when we remember that it
will soon be time to sow pansies. There
is more than one riiethod of growing
pansies. If you cultivate them in a
coldframe covered with sashes, then the
middle of August is time enough to sow,
but grown in the field they should be
sown sometime between July 20 and
August 1. Just to be reminiscent a
moment, in the fall of 1871 1 sowed pansy
seed on September 1 and transplanted
into a frame and covered with a sash,
carefully guarded against overheating or
extreme cold during winter, and when
April came sold the few thousand plants
at $1 per dozen, and did not have enough.
There is no such price now, yet if you
will grow whatever you grow far superior
to the common herd you will get your re-
ward. If today is a little early to sow,
it's not too early to procure the seed.

Sow in a well prepared bed, a bed of
sandy loam or light soil of any texture
that has been raked clear of all sticks,
stones, lumps and old crinolines. Sow
broadcast, thinly, and very lightly rake
the surface of the bed. This will cover
the seed sufficiently. If you know how,
very gently tap the bed with the back
of a shovel. This will hasten the germi-
nation of the seed.

There was a time when I preached and
practiced the sowing of pansy seed under
the shade of a tree or in a frame shaded
with sashes. It's only the fool that does
not alter his opinion, so now I say there
is no need of either of those methods.
Let your seedbeds be in the broad sun.
The pansy is quick to germinate and dur-
ing the few days intervening between
sowing seed and the little plants show-
ing through the ground, keep the beds
constantly moist. Evening and morning
watering may not be enough. Water
ten times a day if necessary and never
let the surface of the bed become
parched. I will lell you later how to
protect pansies during winter,

FLOWERS IN MEAT MARKETS.

In some of the larger cities in Canada
the meat markets buy the growers' sur-
plus cut flowers and flowering plants,
using them for decorations and for
cheap sales. The perennial discussion

here takes only a slightly diflferent form :
' • The practice of growers ' turning
their surplus stock over to butcher shops
is to be condemned," says J. H. Dun-
lop, Toronto, in the Canadian Florist.
"The temporary pecuniary benefit to
the growers' is not worth the ultimate
injury both to themselves and the trade.
Gather than do this kind of business it
is better to let the surplus go to waste
or, better still, donate iito some hospi-

tal or other institution where it will do
some good."

"Selling to butchers has so slight an
effect on the regular trade, ' ' writes
Wm. Gammage, London, "that the
beautifying of their stores, and the sell-
ing to and notice taken of flowers by
those who would not in any other way
be brought in contact with or buy them,
will amply offset any trade that might
be diverted. ' '

DICKSON'S IRISH ROSES.

[The response to a toast, by Alexander B.

Scott, delivered at Philadelphia Florists' Club

dinner In honor of Hugh Dickson, of Belfast,
Ireland, June 6.]

1 have taken the liberty of changing
the subject assigned to me this evening
from ' ' Ireland — The gem of the ocean ' '
to ' ' Newtownards — The gem of Ire-
land, ' ' for from this little garden spot
have been raised and sent out all of
Alexander Dickson & Sons' Irish roses.

Many of the members of our Florists'
Club who are present this evening will
recollect Hugh Dickson's last visit ten
years ago, and you will remember with
how much force and spirit he introduced
Alexander Dickson & Sons' Irish roses
to American florists, and how well they
were received. Most of the roses at that
time were hybrid perpetuals, and the de-
mand was largely for Ulrich Brunner,
Rodocanachi, Magna Charta, and other
hybrid perpetuals that could be forced
for winter blooming.

1 think it would be well to note at
this time the great advance in the rais-
ing of new roses that Alexander Dick-
son & Sons have made in the last ten
years. The hybridizers of the firm —
Alexander Dickson and George Dickson,
Jr., were among the first to realize that
the hybrid tea rose was the rose of the
future, and that the great rose loving
1 uolic wanted haray everblooming roses,
rather than hybrid perpetuals that
flower but once, with an occasional
flower in the autumn. During the past
ten years, of sixty-six new roses intro-
duced by them, forty-three have been
of this class, and nineteen have received
gold medals from the National Rose So-
ciety. Of this number, we in Amer-
ica are very thankful for two, Killarney,
introduced in 1898, and Liberty, in 1900.

Last summer I visited Newtownards,
and spent two weeks among 7,000 seed-
ling hybrid tea roses. I do not "think
there is a man here tonight who would
not agree with me that this little patch
of four or five acres, during the month
of July, is the most interesting spot in

the world to rose growers; in fact it is a
Mecca for rose growers, both amateur
un<l professional.

Two things I was impressed with very
forcibly; one was the vast amount of
l/abor and care in the production of these
seedlings; not one of these 7,000 varie-
ties were chance seedlings, and I found
out that for the past twenty-five years
these men have been keeping a record
of every cross they have made, with notes
of the result of that cross. Since they
have raised so many good things them-
selves they have for the past few years
confined their crossing and hybridization
to roses of their own raising, and the
result is shown in the varieties I in-
spected last summer.

The other thing that impressed me is
the care with which they select their
eyes for budding. I had often wondered
why it was that the Dickson roses had
such a remarkable vitality, and while
they do not appear to be stronger in
growth than selected stock from other
sources, they invariably give larger and
finer flowers a year or two after plant-
ing, I found last summer that the eyes
put on in their vast establishment were
selected by members of the firm; a boy
generally waited on them while they
were cutting the flowering wood of the
plant; with their knives they cut out all
the flat or poorer eyes, and only the
sound, plump eyes went to the budders.
They believe in the survival of the
fittest, and they have found by ex-
perience that a constant selection of the
best and plumpest eyes from flowering
wood only will keep up their standard
to its present high mark.

In their seedling roses, I was of
course very much interested in the varie-
ties that would probably do in America;
it was very fascinating, and at the same
time very disappointing work; almost
every morning I would see varieties in
bloom that I was absolutely sure would
be winners for winter forcing in Amer-
ica; I would cut a bloom and take it to
my room for its keeping qualities; I
would then examine it in the field the
following day, and would find that it
had developed something that would not
suit, and would have to be discarded.
One variety that I was particularly im-
pressed with, was a strong-growing va-
riety which flowered in the open ground

with 3-foot stems, and the flowers were
even brighter and more velvety than
Liberty; I thought that if this acted in
America as it did in Ireland, we would
have a crimson American Beauty. I
received four plants in October, and they
all grew; they grew so well that by
March 1 they had attained a height of
seventeen feet without a flower, and
they have not flowered yet. I brought
over with me thirty varieties, and have
them now growing at my nurseries; sev-
eral of these are very promising, but
my faith is in two sterling varieties;
one is a yellow with petals larger than
Killarney, and the other is a light pink
with a rosy center. I hope I may have
these two varieties in good shape for
exhibition next year.

In hardy everblooming roses for out-
side culture they have the grandest col-
lection I have ever seen; they have al-
most every shade of color, many of them
having the Killarney type of growth.
I only hope the time will come very
shortly when they will get stock enough
to introduce them to general cultiva-
tion.

MAMAN COCHET ROSES.

I would like to know the best place
for storing Maman Cochet roses during
winter. I have 500 plants. A. G.

We have no experience in lifting and
storing this grand rose, and think the
process would not be satisfactory. It
would be better to go to some trouble
to protect the plants from being killed
back, and to that end I would recom-
mend that six inches of long stable lit-
ter or leaves be spread over the entire
surface of the bed, between the growths,
and over the top place a thick cover-
ing of evergreen boughs.

A still better plan and better protec-
tion would be to excavate the ground
three or four inches on tbe side of the
roses, then peg them down, covering
again with three or four inches of soil,
and further covering the soil with a few
inches of long stable manure. This
should not be done too early in the fall;
just before a hard freeze is the time.
This grand rose is surely worth some
labor and watchfulness. As a summer-
flowering tea rose it has no equal. Presi-
dent Carnot is also very valuable for
summer, but wants the same protection
from our northern frosts and blizzards.

DICKSON, OF NEWTOWNARDS.

Hugh Dickson, of the firm of Alex-
ander Dickson & Sons, of Newtownards,
Ireland, known all over the world as
hybridizers and introducers of new roses
of merit, has been enjoying a short
holiday in Philadelphia as the guest of
Alexander B. Scott, of Sharon Hill,
after his busy season just over.

Mr. Dickson, who is associated with
his father and his three brathers in the
far-famed Irish firm, is manager of
the seed and bulb department, with
large warehouses and salesroom in Bel-
fast. When asked by a representative
of the Review to say a few words to
his American cousins, Mr. Dickson kind-
ly consented, expressing his belief that
a chat about the growing part of the
business would be of more general in-
terest than about his own particular
branch.

The firm of Alexander Dickson &
Sons has three large farms. The first,
embracing about 1.50 acres, is at New-

townards. Here the hybridizing and
grafting of roses is done; grapes and
fruit trees in large quantities are grown ;
ornamental shrubs and perennials are an
important feature. Hardy phloxes are
rapidly gaining in i)opular favor. A
general line of nursery and garden stock
is grown. Forest trees are now bought
from elsewhere instead of being grown
on the place as formerly.

The second farm consists of seventy
acres. It is at Ledbury, Herefordshire,
England. Here twenty acres of roses
are grown. The third farm is at Black-
ford, near Dublin. It consists of twenty
acres and has just been acquired this
season.

There 9"»e about a dozen greenhouses
at Newtowjards. They aggregate about
25,000 square feet of glass and are
used merely for grafting roses, for
grapes and for general propagating and
growing smnll stock. The annual out-
put is about 300,000 roses, all budded.
The old varieties are dug from the open
ground in the fall ; some of the newer
varieties are sent out in 5-inch pots in
June.

While Mr, Dickson's visit here is
jiurely for recreation, he spent several
days at W. Atlee Burpee & Co, 's at

Fordhook, comparing the growth of dif-
ferent varieties with that made at home.
He considers Fordhook a most wonder-
ful place, its thorough system command-
ing admiration. He doubted whether
such perfect trial grounds could be
found anywhere else.

A new variety of edible pea originated
by Mr, Dickson is now on trial at Ford-
hook. It is believed to be an improve-
ment on Gradus and if suited to our
climate and conditions it will be sent
out, probably next season, by W. Atlee
Burpee & Co. Mr. Dickson considers
Mr, Burpee 's judgment on sweet peas
excellent and this, coupled with his wide
knowledge of varieties and perfect can-
dor, made him an invaluable ally for
Mr. Eckford, whose novelties he will
again send out simultaneously with their
introduction in England.

Mr, Dickson spoke with pleasure of
the reception tendered him by the Flor-
ists' Club of Philadelphia, and said to
be sure to tell his friends that he still
remembers with pleasure his visit of sev-
enteen years ago, and how at the
Thorndyke hotel in Boston, some of "^em
tried to convince him that the Wootton
was a red, red rose.

CARNATION NOTES.-WEST.

Making I^eady for Planting;.

By the middle of July there are few
beds of carnations that are really worth
saving, and it will pay you to throw
them all out and get your houses in shape
to plant from the field. We like to keep
on cutting carnations until the early as-
ters make their appearance, but after
that time we have little use for them.
That time is about here, and the throw-
ing out process will soon be completed.
We have many beds that have been
empty for several weeks, beds that con-
tained varieties that will not stand hot
weather. Such varieties as Enchantress,
Lawson, and The Belle, Flambeau, H.ir-
lowarden, Ethel ("rocker, etc., have been
giving us fine blooms uj) to now, and we
hate to see t'>em go to make room for
the new stocl,

it does not pay to put off the start
until the last minute. There is sure to
be some repairing of ))pds or benches
needed, and usually we find more than
we expected. The large carnation spe-
cialist, who groAvs but little else, of
course has been at this ever since his
young stock was all out in the field, but
the retail grower, who tries to cover the
whole field, from jiansies to American
Beauties, has his hands full all the time
and must keep his wits about iiim. or he
will put off some of these operations un-
til they are obliged to forfeit their place
in the line of march. When carnation
planting was done mostly in September
it was not necessary to think of them
until all the roses and mums were
benched, and all the painting done, be-
sides a lot of other things. But times
and conditions have changed. Xo soon-

er are the roses and mums in, than you
must be ready to go right at the carna-
tion preparations.

Of course it will depend largely on
how many you plant as to the degree
of haste required. If you plant only
one house it will not take you long to do
the job, but if you plant 25,000 plants,
or more, it will take some time. The
earlier you begin the more thorough you
can make the preparations, and they
siiouid be completed before you begin
planting. It will do no harm if the soil
is on the bench a month before planting
time, so get in the new soil as soon as
you can,

Cleaniog Up.

Do not empty a bench and let the
sun beat on the boards for days before
you refill it, but fill it at once, after
cleaning off all the old soil. If the old
j)lants were infested with red spider
take the hose and wash off all the wood-
work and the walls when the beds are
empty. You can do it better then than
any other time, and it is a good way to
destroy many of these pests that may
have remaineil when the j)lants were
taken out. Jf the house is entirely
empty it is a good plan to fumigate
it thoroughly with sulphur before re-
planting, but b(! sure there are no
plants in the liouse which you want to
keep. This is perhaps the strongest point
in favor of detached houses. You can
fumigate one house without doing the
same to the whole place.

Clean up thoroughly under the benches,
in the walks, in fact from end to end.
If you cannot fumigate with sulphur it
is a good plan to smoke heavily with to-
bacco stems, Tlie smoke will reach nooks
and corners that you never reach when
sprajipg with liquid and therefore will
reach many insects that succumb to the

fumes that would never be reached other-
wise.

Soil to be Used.

When refilling the beds put a layer of
half rotted cow manure on the bottom
about an inch thick. Some growers ob-
ject to this, but we have always found
it a good practice. On top of this fill
in your soil so as to make the whole
about four inches thick. Four inches i»
plenty to set the plants in properly with-
out spreading the roots out unduly. If
it could be done in less depth I would
advise less soil, but four inches, count-
ing the manure, we find just about right.
When planting from small pots we make
the soil shallower and we have just as
good success, '

When filling in the soil break up all
the lumps with your shovel, Carnationa
do not like a lumpy soil, but it should
not be screened as I have seen done. In
the latter case it will lie too close and
you screen out too much fibre and
manure, botl\ of which are rich in plant
food. If the soil is to lie a couple of
weeks before planting, then let it dry
out ; it will do no harm. If you kept it
moist that long you would likely have to
pull a crop of weeds before you could
plant. True, there would be that many
less to pull afterward, but it would not
amount to the same 'in the end, as you
might suppose.

The Question of Weeds.

I have never considered a crop of weeds
such a curse as many are wont to do, I
would rather plant in a batch of soil
that has in it in the shape of seed a lot
of strong growing weeds than in a soil
entirely free from anything of that kind.
In the latter case you set your plants and
water them; every time you water the
soil settles down tighter and tighter,
and when it gets dry it bakes and be-
comes less fit for plants to grow in every
day. On the other hand, you set in
your plants and water thoroughly.
The weed seeds germinate and throw
out their strong young roots, which keep
the soil open and alive. By the time
they are large enough to pull and the
second batch is pulled, your plants have
become established and are sending their
roots through the soil, which will act in
the same way as the weeds did, A soil
that has nothing growing in it is dead
and the longer it remains that way the
worse it ge);8; a dead soil when kept
moist soon becomes soured and poisonous
to the plants set in it. Of course you
don 't want to let the weeds grow long
enough to extract most of the plant foo5
from the soil; that would be folly, but
even that would be preferable to the
other, because you can replace that. How-
ever, they will not take out much food
if j)ulled as soon as they are large
enougli.

Level the soil as you fill the beds and
see that the beds are well filled along the
edge. If leveled, if the soil dries out
it will dry over the whole bed and can
bo watered evenly when wanted for
j)lanting. Mix in the bone a few days
before you plant and water enough to
put it in proper shape for planting.
Thirty-five pounds of bone to a bed 5x
100 is about right, and rake it into the
soil well. Leave all other stimulants un-
til later on, when you can see by the
behavior of the plants what is needed.

BEST CUT FLOWER PEONIES.

I am planning to plant a few peonies
this fall for cut flower purposes. Will
you kindly name the best for this use,
the best early double pink and white, the
best mid-season and late sorts.

D. W. W.

E. E. Pieser, secretary of Kennicott
Bros. Co., Chicago, who has sold as
many peonies as any man in this coun-
try, says that for the florist who is
planting 100 peonies for his own use, re-
tailing the flowers as they develop, the
varieties and proportions should be as
follows: • Officinalis, pink, six plants;
officinalis, red, twelve plants; Early
Bose, twelve plants; Queen Victoria, or
"Whitleyi, forty plants; Late Eose, twen-
ty plants; Richardson's Rubra Superba,
true, ten plants. For larger quantities
the proportions would continue the same.

Mr. Pieser says that where peonies
are grown for cut flowers for wholesal-
ing, especially for the Chicago market,
more depends on knowing how to cut
and handle the flowers than on the va-
riety. However, he finds Queen Victoria,
formerly called Whitieyi and first known
in the Chicago market as Von Bom-
bach 's White, so much the best keeper
in cold storage that it is by all odds
the best sort for the purpose. A variety
grown by Klehm 's Nursery and sold
only as "light pink," is giving such
satisfaction that Mr. Pieser says it
promises to become a <()nii)anion sort to
Queen Victoria.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market

Business is dull, with the quantity of
flowers at lowest ebb. The features are
the arrival of auratum lilies, which are
very fine, and the increase in the supply
of Rhode Island Beauties, finer than
those grown near here at this season, as
the buds can remain longer on the
plants. There are a few good carna-
tions, some nice roses, chiefly eastern

stock, and lilies of the valley. Sweet
peas are on the decline. Business is
quiet.

Protective- Association.

It has been generally known about
town for the last six weeks that the
wholesalers were growing restive under
existing business conditions. With their
business increasing and the necessity for
prompt monthly payments in order to
meet the wishes of their growers, long
credits have become an impossibility, a
burden that could no longer be borne.
After a number of meetings, at which
the situation was thoroughly discussed,
it was decided that all those interested
in the selling of cut flowers should be
invited to join some kind of an organiza-
tion, formed with the object of secur-
ing prompt payments from the buyers,
and preventing an abuse of credit.

At the meeting held in Horticultural
hall on Monday, July 9, ten of the whole-
sale houses signed the by-laws of the
Philadelphia Florists' Protective Asso-
ciation, binding themselves to require
payment for all cut flowers on the fif-
teenth of the month following delivery.
When such payment is not made within
five days, a list of delinquents is to be
furnished to the secretary of the asso-
ciation. The secretary will make up a
complete list of delinquents, furnishing
the same to each member, the latter
agreeing to sell only for cash to such
delinquents.

This agreement was signed by Wm.
J. Baker, Berger Bros., Eugene Bern-
hoi mer, Dumont & Co., W. E. McKis-
sick, the Leo Niessen Co., the Philadel-
phia Cut Flower Co., the Philadelphia
Wholesale Flower Market, Samuel S.
Pennock, Fred Ehret Co. and Edward
R«d. The officers of the association
are: President, Samuel S. Pennock;
••cretary and treasurer, David Rust.
The initiation fee is $10. September 1
is named as the date when the plan will
become onorative, and it will anplv to
Philadelphia and Camden and Philadel-
phia counties.

Reception at Dooner's.

The Florists' Club tendered a recep-
tion and banquet to Hugh Dickson, of
Newtownards, Ireland, Friday, July 6,
at Dooner's Hotel, Tenth street, above
Chestnut, which was well attended and
greatly enjoyed by all those present.
Alexander B. Scott acted as master of
ceremonies, presenting Mr. Dickson to
all those with whom he was not ac-
(piaiiited. After a half hour's chat dinner
was announced, the following members
sitting down to the tables: Thomas B.
Meehan, presiding; Hugh Dickson on his
right, on his left Edwin Lonsdale; Alex-
ander B. Scott, Edward Reid and C. E.
Larzelere were also at the president's
table. At the other tables were W. F.
Cnide, of Washington, D. C. ; P. Joseph
Lynch and Antoine Wintzer, both of
West Grove; George Burton, of
Wyndmoor; Edward A. Flood, of Atco,
N. J. ; W. P. Brinton, of Christiana ; W.
A. Leonard, of Lansdowne; Adolph
Farenwald, of Roslyn ; Joseph Heacock.
nf Wyncote; Thomas W. Logan, of Jen-
kintown; W. H. Vance, of Wilmington,
Del.; John H. Dodds, of Jenkintown ;
Fred Hahman, of Frankford ; and Dr.
Robert A. Huev, Dr. Montrose Graham
Tull, Henry F. Michell, William K. Har-
ris, William P. Craig, Robert A. Craig,
Robert Craig, D. T. Connor, George C.
Watson, George Craig. Robert Kift, S.
S. Pennock, John Westcott, John A.
Ihinham and J. W. Young, all of this
city.

The dinner was well appointed and
greatly enjoyed. President Meehan in-
troduced Robert Craig, who acted as
toast-master, calling on Hugh Dickson,
who responded in well chosen words.
Among the many excellent speeches that
of Alexander B. Scott, which appears
elsewhere in this paper, is of more than
usual interest. Mr. Dickson evidently
has a keen sense of humor, for when Mr.
Scott described the new Ir'-ih rose that
appeared to be better thav. Beauty and
with a finer color tha>. Liberty, he
watched with merry eyes the faces of
the rose growers who were leaning for-

ward to catch every word, and when Mr.
Scott went on to say that this rose when
planted at Sharon Hill had grown seven-
teen feet without producing a flower he
laughed merrily, as the rose growers sat
back in their chairs with deep disgust
on their faces. P. J. Lynch read a clever
original poem with spirit. Edwin Lons-
dale sang the "Duke of York" as only
he can sing it, and Adolph Farenwald
made a ringing speech, sounding the
changes on the coin in "a way to stir
his hearers. The party broke up at a
late hour, agreeing thai the evening had
been one of the pleasantest of the many
entertainments in which the members of
the club had participated.

Burton vs. Niessen.

Last Saturday afternoon the employees
of the Burton rose-growing establish-
ments played a game of baseball with a
team representing the Philadelphia
"Wholesale Flower Market, Edward Reid
Co., and the Leo Niessen Co., the latter
team winning by the score of fourteen
to six. The features of the game were
the good feeling shown by both teams
and the fans present, and the excellent
nerve of L^o Niessen in calling this rep-
resentative team the Leo Niessen Co.
baseball team.

After a very pleasant hour around the
refreshment booth nobody seemed to
care much who won. Even the umpire,
poor unfortunate individual, ma,de peace
with both factions, and was freely for-
given before the company finally dis-
persed.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

Receipts of poor stock at the whole-
sale houses are very much more than
the demand calls for, especially in sweet
peas and Bride and Maid roses. Carna-
tions, too, are becoming very small and
of poor color. We are still in need of
a soaking rain for the outdoor stock.
The business among the retailers since
the Fourth has been reported as very
dull in all lines, so the boys are going
away one at a time to be back in season
for the boss 's vacation at Dayton next
month.

The wholesalers, too, are idle after the
morning sales are over. Little shipping
is being done at present. Prices on
stock are low, especially on sweet peas:
5 cents and 10 cents per hundred in
large lots. These are at their height
at present and of fine quality. The
bulk of these come from Kirkwood.

Beauties are of poor quality. Kai-
■erin. Ivory and Carnot are good. Bride
and Maid still are poor.

Carnations are selling well, though they
are small in flower. Valley is good, with
slow sale. Gladioli, tuberose stalks,
daisies, cornflowers and asters are hav-
ing slow sale at present.

Various Notes.

Mrs. Wm. Ellison, of the Ellison
Floral Co., is visiting the northern lakes
for the summer. Her daughter. Miss
Allie, is in Grand Rapids, Mich., on a
visit.

Henry Emunds, of Beheville, 111., vis-
ited Chicago last week on business and
pleasure.

Wm, Winter, of Kirkwood, spent Sat-
urday in the city calling on the trade.

A. S. Halstead, of Belleville, was over
on Saturday, buying supplies. Mr. Hal-
stead will leave for Chicago tonight and
also visit his daughter at Detroit be-
fore returning home.

F. C. Weber, Jr., is spending ten days
north on pleasure.

A. Bayhouse, of the Bayhouse Floral
Co., Boise, Ida., spent a few days here,
visiting the growers.

George Waldbart is having great suc-
cess this year with his daisy and sweet

sands are cut each day for his Grand
avenue establishment.

Fred H. Meinhardt, state vice-presi-
dent of the S. A. F., will this year look
after transportation for the Dayton con-

Mrs. F. M. Ellis and her two daugh-
ters are visiting friends in the western
part of the state, where they will re-
main until Mr. Ellis returns from
Panama August 1.

Theo. Klockenkemper has offered his
place on Mead avenue for lease. Here
is a chance for a good carnation grower
to make some money this fall and win-
ter.

William C. Osberghaus, for the past
seventeen years gatekeeper at Shaw's
Garden, died at his home in the garden
on Saturday at the age of 51 years.
He was known to many S. A. F. visitors
and was well known to every member
of the local trade. He is survived by
his wife and four children. The fu-
neral took place Monday from his home
at the entrance to, Shaw's Garden. In-
terment was in St. Matthew's cemetery.

For the months of July and August
all four wholesale houses will close at
5 p. m. Berning and Kuehn started in
July 1 and Angermueller and Ellis this
week, so the trade will know that after
5 o'clock nothing can be had from them.

The two teams got at each other Mon-
day night. Team No. 1 won all three
games, as follows:

The club meeting this week Thurs-
day, which will be held in Edwardsville,
is promised a large attendance by the
members and their ladies. Mr. Ammann
has made full preparation for entertain-
ing them.

The trustees of the club, Messrs.
Beyer, Weber and Fillmore, spent a day
last week looking for a place to hold
our annual outing and decided on the
beautiful Eoncona park, on the suburban
line in St. Louis county. The date of
the outing is Thursday, July 26. There
will be the usual games, fishing, boat-
ing and dancing. The music will be by
the famous colored Jubilee band, who
will amuse the crowd with both singing
and dancing. Another feature this year
will be a baseball game between the
wholesalers and retailers. The teams
have been made up as follows:

NEW YORK.

The Market.

Stagnation expresses tiie condition of
affairs in the wholesale flower markets.
Stock is not overabundant in any line
and yet the demand creates no stir in
prices and midsummer values prevail. The
new roses are short-stemmed and small
and often drop to $2. .50 a thousaml.
Lilies are shortening in quantity and a
slight increase in price was noted Mon-
day. The sweet pea flood comes in
steadily and the tide recedes in value.
Orchids are at low ebb, with the rest
of the arrivals, and so everything an<l
everybody is resting or planning for tt;p

usual summer holiday, both magnates and
employees.

The Picnic.

The club's outing, briefly reported last
week, is a happy memory to the partici-
pants. In the baby contest the follow-
ing proud mothers competed, and none
of their babies was forgotten: Mrs. F.
H. Traendly, Mrs. John Foley, Mrs.
Louis Schmutz, Jr., Mrs. Smith,
Mrs. Vocke, Mrs. Fenrich, Mrs.
Hunt, Mrs. Bohlen, Mrs. John
Scott, Mrs. Wagner, Mrs. Miller. Mrs.
Sullivan and Mrs. Manda. The judges
had a serious task. No such galaxy of
youthful beauty has ever been seen at
an outing in this country. Mr. Traendly
seemed several inches taller after the de-
cision for first prize was awarded his
heir and this, with the fat men's prize,
made the Isabel too small a ship to hold
him. Next year the competition will be
keener and larger. The florists here
agree with the President on the family
question.

The music was continuous. At the
dinner vocalists added to the melody and
400 joined in the choruses. The club is
talking, of a larger boat for next year.

were more enthusiastic than the maidens
and their racing was artistic. Mrs.
Smith won first honors. Miss Manda
still holds the record among the unmar-
ried ladies and is always No. 1. The fat
men had hard sledding against Traendly.
Mr. Bohmler made a good try for a 240-
pounder. Will Elliott ran well for ten
yards, and the other fellows "fell by the
way. ' ' Chicago was heard from in the
quarter-mile race, F. Lautenschlager
winning first honors. The tug of war
was a heart-breaking struggle of five
minutes' duration with the growers vic-
tors. The whole ten were exhausted and
the excitement could be heard a mile.

Chairtnan Wheeler was a strenuous
coacher and manager and had a hot
afternoon. The success of the day was
greatly to his individual credit. Presi-
dent Scott aided greatly in producing
the triumphant culmination of the yearly
festival. Perfect harmony and decorum
characterized the occasion from start to
finish and the New York Florists' Club
has added another record to its history.

Sweet Pea Plantation of George Waldbart, St. Louis, at Clayton, Mo.

The day was well chosen. All the
schools were closed and the children were
all made happy with some memento of
the occasion. The supply of everything
on the boat was abundant. The dinner
fulfilled all promises, as usual, at the
excellent resort chosen. The committee
worked tirelessly and deserves the com-
mendation it received. The only disap-
pointment about those yearly outings is
the lack of time to complete the contests,
so that all may enjoy them. The sports
are so numerous that all the strain of a
three-ring circus is experienced. The
only way to please everybody will be to
make it a two-days outing. The bowl-
ing alone was sufficient for the sport of
an afternoon. Fifteen handsome prizes
rewarded the lady winners, with Mrs.
Whitman in the lead. Joe Manda led
the men find his score had no remnants
of typhoid fever in it. John Birnie was
close after him. About 250 bowlers of
both sexes participated in this contest.
The prizes in all the games were valu-
able and gave great satisfaction to the
winners. Charlie Lenker was loaded
with a bicycle won by one of his kids.
Mr. Pepper won John Birnie 's silk um-
brella. Mansfield gave an exhibition of
fancy swimming. Tiie married ladies

ranging his big store and adding room
and conveniences, evidently with enlarged
faith in the coming season now less than
two months away.

J. K. Allen, as the bookkeeper. Miss
Smedley is away on her summer outing,
has his hands full from 6 o 'clock every
morning, and the Jersey mosquitoes over
in Kearney are no great comfort during
the night.

For this time of the year Victory car-
nations are reaching the market in fine
condition, the old plants still doing duty.
Some 15,000 weekly are handled by A. J.
Guttman. Guttman & Weber report a
large booking of orders and plants in
first-class condition.

H. H. Berger & Co. report their new
catalogue ready for distribution. Mrs.
Berger and Miss Berger have returned
from their first outing of the season.

The travel to Europe continues, among
the latest voyagers being R. C. Pye, of
Xyack; David Fraser, of Pittsburg;
•Tohn Heeremans, of Madison; Charles
Plumb, of Detroit; S. Burnett, the seeds-
man, and Peter Duff, of Orange, N. J.

The Kervan Co.. of West Twenty-sev-
enth street, lost a faithful employee last
week, Richard Cooper having been run
over bv an automobile.

C. W. Ward is on a western trip and
Frank Hamilton, of the (Jottage Gardens
Co., has resigned his position as manager
of the landscape department on account
of failing health.

At the "little church around the cor-
ner" L. W. C. Tuthill, of the Horticul-
tural Ad. Agency, last week joined the
ranks of the benedicts. Mr. and Mrs.
Tuthill went to Gloucester, Mass., for
their honeymoon.

James McManus is one of the Elks
who will journey to the great convention
at Denver. While away he will take in
the loup trips in the Rockies, over the
Marshall pass, and will climb Pike's
Peak with the rest of the brethren.

Frank Millang has some wonderful
fish stories from his own trout stream at
his summer home in Westchester county.

The ambition to become suburbanites
is growing among the wholesalers. Sucb
glowing descriptions of fresh air and
quietude and reliable eggs and other
foods are coming in from those already-
blessed with country homes. I venture
to predict that every wholesaler in the
business will have his farm before the
century is eight years old.

Harry Bunyard, of Boddington 's, is
back from a successful trip and getting
ready for the convention. He reports a
great interest in the Dayton meeting
wherever he has been and predicts a
record crowd. The New York section
will be well represented. All the great
exhibitors will make fine displays. Reed
& Keller promise an attractive showing
of all their latest novelties. A letter
from Mr. Reed, who is in Italy, indi-
cates that Mrs. Reed and he are having a
delightful time and will not be home
before the early fall.

A. Herrmann, who has been in Europe
for several weeks, returns Wednesday
with many interesting additions to his
stock of florists' supplies

A. Moltz has been a\/ ,y for a two
weeks ' vacation.

Carrillo & Baldwin, at Secaucus, N. J.,
have eight houses devoted exclusively to
orchids and are lapidly stocking them
from their own importations. Mr. Car-
rillo, who spent six months in South
America and has been at home for only
a few weeks, started on Saturday for
Venezuela and will continue to gather
and ship until every bench is filled. Mc-
Manus handles the cut flowers grown by
this progressive young firm. Mr. Bald-
win reports a steady demand for plants
from all over the country.

Fred Atkins has just completed a very
handsome residence on his property at
Rutherford. It is situated close to the
nurseries and overlooks a splendid coun-
try. These nurseries now comprise over
100 acres and are planted with the finest
stock of every description. The bay
trees are almost a forest in them-
selves. The greenhouses are filled with
palms of every size. Herbaceous plant-
ings are extensive. One can hardly real-
ize the wonderful growth of this enter-
prise in seven years without spending a
day there. Large additions are to be
made to the offices at once and every-
thing indicates progress and prosperity.
Mr. Atkins says the nursery business in
this country is only in its infancy, and
Bobbink & Atkins are laying broad and
deep foundations for the growth that is
to be.

C. W, Ward is on the program for an
address at the international conference
on plant breeding to be held in London,
England, beginning July 30.

THE YEARBOOK.

The Yearbook of the department of
agriculture is being distributed and may
be had by addressing a request to your
congressman. It is a vohime of 815
pages and serves to give an idea of the
extent of the size of this branch of
government service, and its rapid growth,
for in it in 1905 was expended the huge
sum of .$«,000.000, there being 5,446 em-
ployees as against 2,443 in 1897.

The volume shows also the wide scope
of the work undertaken by the depart-
ment. As usual, reports show the sub-
jects taken up and the results achieved
in the past year. There are also a num-
ber of papers by department scientists,
some one of which at least will interest
every man who lives by the soil, no mat-
ter what lie grows.

Kvery year 500,000 copies of the Year-
book are published, and all but 30,000
are at the disposal of congressmen.

Department of Plant Registration.

Cliarle? (!. Koelding, Trenton, N. J.,
submits for registration C^attleya Charles
(}. Koebling, a stray seedling; tiower
pure white, *ix inches across with slight
trace of yellow in throat ; probably
raised from Cattleya Harrisona; alba x
C. Mendelii Bluntii, which parents it re-
sembles very much ; bulbs are eighteen
inches long and two-leaved; quite strong
growing; flowers are of good substance.
Also Cattleya Kinkora (C. Mendelii
Morganii x C. intermedia alba) ; flowers
pure white, with richly colofed lip;
bulbs are two-leaved, slender, about ten
inches long.

Paul Niehoff, Lehigh ton, Pa., submits
for registration Kose Aurora, seedling
from Bon Silene x Souvenir du President
Carnot; flowers large and full; color
light pink with a deeper shading in the
center; growth very strong; foliage dark
green; stems four to five feet long; very
prolific with no tendency to go dormant
during the winter. This is the rose
which Mr. Niehoff recently exhibited un-
der the name of Columbia. On being
informed that another rose had already
been registered with the S. A. F. as
Columbia he withdrew his claim and the
rose will be disseminated as Aurora.

The Market

Business is at a low ebb. Much of
what is brought in cannot be sold or is
disposed of at very low prices. A num-
ber of flowers are now out of the market
for the present, but too much stock comes
in for the light demand. The best sell-
ing flowers are sweet peas. These bring
20 cents to 25 cents per hundred and are
now abundant, white being the only color
in rather short suply. Outdoor roses are
now over and there is only a very spas-
modic call for indoor ones, mostly for
funeral work.

Carnations coming in are mostly of
very poor quality. Prices have varied
from 25 cents to $2 per hundred, far
more selling at the former than the lat-
ter price. Lily of the valley is in less
request and the demand for other season-
able flowers is light. At the stores
quantities of good Liiium candidum are
seen, also L. auratum, pond lilies, gladi-
oli, delphiniums and coreopsis. In or-
chids, Cattleyas gigas, Harrisonias and
Vanda coerulea are noted.

Exhibition.

The first of the summer Saturday
shows on July 7 brought out a fine lot
of exhibits which filled the main exhibi-
tion hall. There was a keen tussle be-
tween Bay State Nurseries and Blue Hill
Nurseries in the class for thirty varieties
of herbaceous plants, the first named
eventually coming out ahead. Each of
these exhibitors also staged large addi-
tional collections of perennials. William
Whitman, M. Sullivan gardener, had the
best collection of har^y perennial roses.
He was also first for a tao.e of Canter-
bury bells and for thirty vases of del-
phiniums, three spikes to a vase with a
magnificent lot of Kelway's named vari-
eties. Mrs. J. L. Gardner, Wm. Thatch-
er, gardener, was second in the two latter
classes and first for twenty-five vases
Iris K^mpfcri ; W. "Whitman second,
each showing finely.

In the way of miscellaneous exhibits,

the Boston park department had a fine
display of cut sprays of Farquhar roses
which were tastefully arranged. George
Hollis had a collection of double zonal
pelargoniums; Mrs. Ayer tuberous be-
gonias and Marguerite Queen Alexandra;
Mrs. E. M. Gill, Thomas Doliber, M.
Byrne gardener, and Mrs. J. B. Law-
rence, general displays. Harvard Botanic
Gardens staged a collection of eighty-
four varieties of herbaceous plants. A.
Ouimet had a well flowered double pome-
granate in a tub. Mrs. A. W. Blake, J.
L. Smith gardener, had Brassia verru-
cosa and Larz Anderso , Duncan Finlay-
8011 gardener, a capitally bloomed Den-
drobium tuvi -rum awarded a cultural
certificate.

There was a «;>.'.ii(lid display of fruits
and vegetables, competition being un-
usually keen. The display of produce
from chil'lver ' gardens was very inter-
esting an<i .acted many visitors. The
Boston .- ■ \'Tical Club had a good
collection »i Tungi.

Various Notes.

Herbert C. Tyler is in Canada for a
few weeks' vacation.

Samuel Wax has gone as far away as
Labraaor and ^^opes to catch some big
salmon there and perhaps bag a polar
bear or two.

Frank White, of Holbrook, reappeared
at the Park Street Market on July 6
after an enforced absence due to a
honeymoon trip.

Charles E. Robinson, of H. M. Robin-
son & Co., is enjoying his vacation in
the wilds of Maine.

George H. Butterworth, of South
Framingham, sailed on the S. S. Iver-
nia on July 10 for Liverpool. He will
visit some of the noted orchid collectors
in Great Britain and will attend the
international hybridization conference
in London.

Mr. and Mrs. Duncan Finlayson also
sailed on the Ivernia. They will make a
tour of the leading horticultural estab-
lishments in Great Britain, including
Skibo Castle, Andrew Carnegie 's Scotch
home, over the gardens of which Mr.
Finlayson 's cousin is presiding genius.
William Nicholson and Miss Nicholson,
of Framingham, and H. L. Cameron, of
North Cambridge, were also passengers
on the Ivernia.

July 21 will be sweet pea day at Hor-
ticultural hall. Ten classes are allotted
to them this season.

Interest continues to grow in the com-
ing club picnic on July 2f5 &t Caledonian
grove. The sports committee is hard at
work and will present a very attractive
program for contestants.

We are getting an unusual amount of
rain this summer, which, while not to the
liking of haymakers, is promoting a
splendid growth on practically all garden
crops. Carnations and violets are look-
ing unusually well in the fields.

James Wheeler, who for a number of
years has been a valued member of the
plant and flower arrangements commit-
tees of the Massachusetts Horticultural
Society, has, owing to pressure of other
duties, resigned from these committees.
It will be very difiicult to secure one
who will adequately fill Mr. Wheeler's
place. W. N. C.

Philadelphia, Pa. — Godfrey Ascn-
mann is planning to go to Europe the

connected with his large importations
of plants.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market

The demand has receded to the usual
summer level. There is only a small
amount of business, either in shipping
or in local trade, but those houses
which are fortunate in having cuts of
good quality find it easy to sell out, for
receipts are at a lower level than at
any time this summer and good stock
is particularly scarce.

The out-of-town demand calls for
Beauties for special work. Supplies are
light and prices well maintained.
Kaiserin is bringing good returns, al-
though a few good Bride are coming
in. Red roses still are abundant. Car-
nations are in lighter supply than has
been known in the last year. Most of
the stock is small and the color is lack-
ing in many growers' crops. The prices
range from 5 cents per bunch to $2 per
hundred, with an occasional sale of
fancy stock at higher figures.

There continues to be large receipts
of sweet peas in a wide range of color.
With most growers stems are not long
and the stock is moved with difficulty.
Peonies are approaching the end. They
will hardly be available after this week.
Longiflorum lilies are seen in quantity
in several houses, but are reported to
be moving satisfactorily. Auratums are
not yet largely in evidence and candi-
dum is about finished. Gladioli from
outdoors are being received in small
quantities. A few asters are seen, also
centaurea. Water lilies are abundant.

There are large receipts of green
goods, especially Michigan ferns.

Outdoor Flowers UsefuL

The cut flower work of the George
Wittbold Co. has an individuality these
days. It is because they have available
much material not usually seen in the
wholesale cut flower markets. They
have for some time been cutting great
quantities of splendid trusses of Crim-
son Rambler, which they have used
with excellent effect in table decora-
tions, presentation baskets and for
many other purposes. Another of their
useful items is purple stocks, with
which some splendid funeral wreaths
have been turned out. The nursery at
Edgebrook is supplying a diversity of
outdoor material which is not only prof-
itably used but which draws attention
to their work because of its being dif-
ferent from that turned out from stores
which depend upon the wholesale mar-
kets for supplies.

At Brant & Noe's.

Louis M. Noe has returned to Madi-
son, N. J., after a week s visit at the
establishment of Brant & Noe, Forest
Glen. All the roses were planted by
July 1 and one could not ask for finer
young stock. The old houses are rapid-
ly being rebuilt and it is expected to
begin benching carnations in them
about July 20. J. J. Curran, who years
ago had charge of the growing here,
has returned, after having spent a num-
ber of seasons with Van Bochove &
Bro., Kalamazoo, Mich., and the United
States Cut Flower Co., Elmira, N. Y.

Rose Company Plans.

The Chicago Rose Co. has concluded
to drop its line of seeds, bulbs and

nursery stock and confine the supplies
to staples. As a result the south halt
of the store is offered for rent, the inr-
tention being to put in a partition..
They have a very favorable lease, the-
rental for store and basement being;
$4,000 per year, as there are almost
no empty stores in the downtown dis-
trict, they anticipate no diflSculty in
getting $2,000 for half the store, leav-
ing sufficient salesroom for their own
use and the basement for storage.

The Central Floral Co. has not j-et
installed the new fixtures in the store
at 68 State. It is a small room and
few cases or tables can be admitted^
It is asserted that per square foot of
floor, Mr. Schneider is paying the high-
est rent ever paid by a Chicago re-
tailer.

A few feet away, around the corner,
George Vesas, who formerly was in the
basement, has been fitted up with a
store almost the equal of the Central's
and makes a nice showing from the
street. He does business as the Bay
State Flower Co. and has a three years'
lease. It is said Mr. Schneider -was not
deterred from taking the State street
store by the knowledge that the other
store was provided for.

Various Note*.

Mrs. P. J. Hauswirth reached home-
Saturday. Mr. Hauswirth will be along
about next Sunday. They left San
Francisco June 27. spent a day at Santa.

JoLiET, III. — Fred H. Eowe has re-
signed his position with the Chicago Car-

Bloomington.

Good roses are scarce, as the last week
has been quite a busy one. A large num-
ber of weddings having taken place, we
had to look to Chicago to help out.
Sweet peas are scarce and short in stem
on account of the dry weather that we
had in May and pan of June. But the
recent rains are bringing sweet peas out
in fine shape. A large per cent were de-
stroyed by greenfly during the dry spell.
We find that sweet peas shipped in from
Chicago don't keep well and will not do
for use the next day, and most of the
florists have quit ordering from there.
Carnations are also scarce and small, and
prices are up. Some of the customers
are grumbling because they can't buy
them for 25 cents a dozen as they could
last winter when they were plentiful.
Snapdragons are in fine shape and are
being used more than ever before.

line for his fuel for next winter. He
heats with steam. He has already torn
down his range of houses on Main street
and has moved them out on his new
place. Kansas City florists wish him
success in his new undertaking.

Charles Laundy has a fine new wagon
which is a good advertisement for his

business. Mr. Ljaundy grows bedding
plants and carnations for wholesale. He
superintended the bedding out this spring
himself. He had a very good spring,
but will not build any this summer.

James Payne, at the Union cemetery,
seems to have had a good trade this
spring, as his houses are quite empty.

Air. Payne has a very nice patch of early
dahlias which are in bloom now.

Mis^ Jewell is still busy and seems to
do quite a good wedding business.

Mr. Fruedenthal, the Twelfth street
florist, is still in business. Although
others fail around him, he still holds his
own and intends to do so.

R. S. Brown & Son report that their
business has been very heavy. They are
well sold out of everything that is any
good. They are now very busy planting
mums, of which they grow quite a large
number.

Albert Barbee, of Elmwood cemetery,
reports that he was sold out on good
geraniums by Decoration day. Mr. Bar-
bee has one of the best trades in Kansas
City. His Sunday trade in bouquets is
excellent, as his nouses are just across
the street from the cemetery.

Fred Groschki, formerly employed by
R. S. Brown & Son, has purchased three
large lots 40x137 1/4 between Independ-
ence, Mo., and Sugar Creek, where the
large oil reflnery plant is located by the
Standard Oil Co. It is the intention of
Mr. Groschki to raise vegetables for
Sugar Creek.

C. Hite, of the W. L. Rock Flower
Co., is now busy taking down raised
benches for American Beauties, and he
will plant all in solid benches. Last
winter's trial has convinced him that
this is the only way to get good buds
and stems. Busy.

Sam Murray has returned from a trip
to Boston and other eastern points. He
reports an enjoyable trip.

The W. L. Rock Flower Co. has a very
attractive window this week. It is laid

USE OF STEAM TRAP.

I am about to wall in a fifty horse-
power steam boiler and find that I can-
not get the boiler deep enough to get
the return water back if I keep the
return pipes undeF the benches. I can-
not lower the boiler on account of water.
Will a steam trap answer the purpose f
The returns as they are now would come
in almost at the bottom of the boiler
instead of above the top, and the boiler
is fifty-foiur inches in diameter. If a
trap will do please give me the name of
the best one made, also the size of pipe
necessary to carry enough return water
to heat 16,000 square feet of glass.
Will a trap give good satisfaction or
are they liable to get out of order t

head, made at Detroit. It wiU be neces-
sary to provide a hot well into which the
water from the house can be discharged,
and from which it can be elevated by the
trap to the boiler. L. C. C.

BOILER AND HEATING.

I have a house 16x30, heated by 2-inch
overhead flow and eleven li4-inch re-
turns under the benches. The north end
is against a dwelling. I am building
across the south end of this house, a
house 21x60, 5-foot walls, two feet of
glass in the south wall, east end of
glass, with a shed on the west end. I
have solid beds. I want 60 degrees in
the small house and 50 in the large one
in zero weather. Please give me the best
plan ubder these conditions for heating.
Will a fifteen horse-power, fire-box boiler
be large enough to heat these houses and
for 60-foot radiators, using hot water?

W. D.

It is to be regretted that you cannot
lower the boiler so as to use a gravity
system. However, if you mainttdn suflB-
dent pressure oa the boiler at all times
the return steam trap will do the work
nicely. Traps are simple in construction
and do not easily get out of order.
There are several good ones on the mar-

The houses in question 16x30 can be
successfully heated with water at 180
degrees by using a 2-inch flow under the
ridge and eleven li4:inch returns under
the benches, and the 21x60-foot house by
a 2-inch flow and twelve 1%-inch re-
turns under the benches. To care for
the radiators in the house an indepen-
dent 2-inch flow should be carried from
the boiler to the house to make direct

connection with the heating plant,
rather than to use a continuation of the
greenhouse flow for the purpose. The
fifteen horse-power boiler will do the
work, but it must be remembered that
the fire-box type, i. e., locomotive type,
is less economical than the return tube
type. L. C. C.

MILWAUKEE.

The Milwaukee Retail Florists' Asso-
ciation was organized June 30 at the He-
publican bouse for the protection of
mutual interests. The association is
composed of twenty-four members and
officers were elected as follows: Presi-
dent, Mrs. Frederick Davis; vice-presi-
dent, William Edlefson; secretary, A. B.
Loufbourow; treasurer, Mrs. Ida Baum-
garten.

F. Praefke is building three new
greenhouses at his place on Concordia
avenue, which he expects to have ready
for planting by August 1. The heating
contract has been awarded to Louis A.
Riemer, who will install a Furman sec-
tional hot-water boiler. Mr. Praefke, to
accommodate his downtown trade, will
open a flower store on Third street, near
Garfield avenue.

ity.

Bertermann Bros, have begun glazing

their new range of houses near Cumber-
land; they have a fine water supply from
a deep well, getting the required pressure
from a high water tower.

John Bertermann and family start for
their cottage on the lakes in a few days.

Baur & Smith have commenced cutting
their Shasta daisies, and judging by the
look of the patch, they can take care of
all orders.

Wiegand & Son are making extensive
improvements in their store; this firm
believes in expansion and doing things
up right.

Henry Rieman has taken out a build-
ing permit fpr a $2,000 greenhouse.
With this addition Henry will have a
model establishment dnd be in good
shape to handle his increasing trade.

There will be a large party of florists
attend the convention from this city. It
is the intention, if the party is large
enough, to charter a special car.

Ben Pritchard, who is with Wiegand
& Son, is back again after a vacation
spent in the hills of Brown county. S.

ELBERON, N. J.

A meeting of the Elberon Horticul-
tural Society was held on Monday, July
2, with President W. D. Robertson in
the chair. A good number of the mem-

bers were present, considering the warm
weather we were passing through at that
date. Some good exhibits were shown,
notably a collection of cannas shewn by
A. Bauer, who was awarded a certificate
of merit.

The prize of the evening, which was
awarded by W. W. Kennedy, of Red
Bank, for a collection of vegetables, was
won by F. Dettlinger. A. Bauer, H.
Hall and Ben Wycoff exhibited collec-
tions of cut flowers, and W. D. Robert-
son exhibited a vase of Chysanthemum
maximum. Some good vegetables were
also shown by J. Kennedy and A. Greil.
This young society holds its first flower
show on Friday and Saturday, July 13
and 14.

ORANGE, N. J.

The regular monthly meeting and floral
display of the New Jersey Floricultural
Society was held on July 6, with orchids
in the lead from the commercial houses
of Lager & Hurrell and the Julius Roehrs
Co., and many rare and meritorious con-
tributions were shoitn from the neighbor-
ing estates. A pat)er upon the dahlia was
read by Walter Gray, of Maplewood, N.
J., and letters upon the recent exor-
bitant and oppressive charges of the
United States Express Company were
presented.

The Chicago onion set fields are again
in much need of rain.

W. Atl.ee Burpee, Philadelphia, is
inspecting seed crops in California. He
is accompanied by his son, who is to
take an active part in the business.

Everything in the way of reports
from the onion growers of Indiana and
Ohio points to a short crop in those
parts. In the east conditions are said
to be better.

T. H. Hopkins, who has charge of the
Sturgeon Bay warehouses of the John H.

and Door counties as looking especially
well at this date.

when the seed department in the general

self the management will have solved the
problem of how^ it can be conducted
profitably.

J. M. Thorburn & Co., New York, an-
nounce the removal of their business to
the large five-story building at 33 Bar-
clay street, through to 38 Park place.
The condemnation of their warehouse on
Cortlandt street for railroad purposes
necessitated the change.

Arthur B. Clark, treasurer of the
Everett B. Clark Seed Co., Milford,
Conn., is at East Jordan, Charlevoix
county, Michigan, arranging for the
erection of a seed warehouse. It is ex-
pected to have it ready for the reception
of the 1906 crop by September 1.

At the meeting of the Western Pickle
Association at Chicago yesterday it was
reported that the acreage in cucumbers
is only half that of last year. As the
decrease with seventy-six packers is 10,-
147 acres, it accounts to a great extent
for the quantities of seeds for which
there was no call.

This is the time of the year when no-
body knows anything about crop pros-
pects. There is a dullness all along the
line. Those interested as growers are
figuring on going on tours of inspection
and expect to get an idea of things after
a bit of travel. Each, however, is optim-
istic that his crops are doing better than
the other man's.

At the onion set centers they are pre-

produces an excellent quality but of too

Advices from central New York are
to the effect that the pea crop for can-
ning is so irregular that it is impossible
to give any estimate of its probable
size. About Utica the crop is very poor,
further west it is better, while in the ex-
treme western portion of the state it
promises a good output. But even in
the best sections there are fields that
are almost a failure, while where the
crop is poorest there is occasionally
found a field of excellent promise.

HENRY V. WOOD.

Henry W. Wood's active connection
with the seed business dates back to the
year 1879, at which time his father, the
late T. W. Wood, founded the present
business of T. W. Wood & Sons, at
Richmond, Va. T. W. Wood continued
as the head of the Arm up to the time
•of his death, last year, but during the
latter years of his life had practically
given over the active management of the
"business to his sons.

From the very incipiency of this busi-
ness, Henry W. Wood has always been
actively engaged in it. In fact, the busi-
ness was originally started from the de-
sire of Henry W. Wood in his boyhood
days to learn and follow the seed busi-
ness for an occupation. T. W. Wood
baving been engaged in the grain and
seed business in England, and, after
coming to this country, having engaged
in farming, the experience obtained in
this way gave a most excellent founda-
tion for the starting of the present busi-
ness.

Henry W. Wood has always taken an
active part in agricultural and business

Henry W. Wood.

affairs, and was for two years president
of the Virginia State Agricultural So-
ciety, conducting while in office a most
successful ten-days' exposition. He is at
present a member of the board of di-
rectors of the Richmond Chamber of
Commerce, also a member of the Rich-
mond Grain and Cotton Exchange. He
has been quite active in all matters per-
taining to the interests of the seed trade,
the firm of T. W. Wood & Sons having
joined the American Seed Trade Asso-
ciation almost at its beginning. He is
a member of the board of directors of
the Wholesale Seedsmen's League, aud
took quite an active part in the campaign
which was carried on against the free
seed distribution during the last year.

Mr. Wood is now at the head of the
firm of T. W. Wood & Sons. The cata-
logues and advertising of T. W. Wood
& Sons have for the last eighteen years
been prepared by him or under his imme-
diate supervision, and the catalogues
published by this firm have long been
noted for the clear, practical information
which they give in regard to the culture
and uses both of vegetables and farm
crops.

SEEDS IN THE YEARBOOK.

To the seedsman the Yearbook of the
department of agriculture is always of
considerable interest. This year the con-
tribution to which the trade will turn
is the paper by A. J. Pieters on "The
Business of Seed and Plant Introduc-
tion and Distribution. ' ' It loccupies
sixteen pages of the 815 in the book.
Mr. Pieters says of congressional free
iseeds :

"In 1839 congress appropriated
$1,000 to be used by the commissioner
of patents in collecting agricultural
statistics and for the purchase of seeds
of new and rare varieties of plants.
This was the first appropriation pro-
viding for a work, which during the
fiscal year 1906 requires an appropria-
tion of $290,000.

' ' With the increase in the number of
packages annually assigned to senators,
representatives, and delegates in con-
gress, it became increasingly difficult to
obtain seeds of new varieties in sufficient
i|uantities, and to a greater and greater
extent those of standard varieties were
substituted.

' * The distribution of vegetable and
flower seeds on congressional orders now
is the largest single business this office
has to handle. The total number of
packets put up and mailed during the
fiscal year 1905 was 35,773,400. These
were assembled into packages of five
packets each, making 7,110,680 pack-
ages. The seed purchased to fill all
these^ packets was enough to fill twenty-
eight cars of 30,000 pounds per car.
The work of packeting begins about
. ovember 1 of each year and is com-
pleted before the end of the April fol-
lowing, the greater part of the work
being done in a little more than four
and a half months of this period. If
we consider the work to extend over six
months 500 packets are put up every
minute of every working day of eight
liours during that time. During much
of the time as many as 1,000 packets per
minute are put up.

"The secretary of agriculture has

July 12, 1906.

The Weekly Florists' RevieW,

477

pointed out that, while it is . his duty to
carry on the distribution in accordance
with the wishes of congress, the money
expended for vegetables and flower
seeds could probably be more profitably
used for the introduction of new and
rare seeds, such as grains, forage crops,
cotton, tobacco, and the like. Tne large
quantities of seed needed make it im-
possible to use the rare varieties, even
if there were a sufficient number of new
and valuable varieties of vegetable seeds
each year to fill the requirements. The
number of really new and desirable
varieties of vegetables that appear each
year is extremely small, and the seeds-
men of today are so thoroughly awake
to the importance of introducing novel-
ties that any new variety quickly finds
its way to the trade.

"It is only the standard varieties of
vegetable and flower seeds, therefore,
that can be used in the general free
distribution. These are in more or less
regular supply in the trade, and while
the stocks vary in quality it is not diffi-
cult for those who understand the busi-
ness, and who know the sources of supply
to secure each year first-class seeds at
reasonable prices. This office aims to
get seeds of the best value. This, of
course, does not mean the cheapest seed,
as every one knows that the value of
vegetable seed is not measured solely
by the price. Vitality and trueness to
type, or purity of stock, are of the
utmost importance, and of these the
latter can be determined only by a field
inspection. Experts must therefore be
employed who know the general char-
acter of each grower's stock, and part
of whose business it is to visit the prin-
cipal growers at least once each year to
keep posted on their work and on the
quality of their stock. The objects kept
in view are (1) to obtain good seeds —
as good as those sold by the best mail-
trade houses (though they are no better,
since the seeds are bought mostly from
the growers who supply the seed trade) ;
and (2) to get these seeds at the best
prices.

' ' The seed needed is secured in one
of two ways: (1) It is bought outright,
the seeds being on hand at the time of
purchase, or (2) it is contracted for,
the department agreeing to pay a fixed
sum for all seed of satisfactory quality
delivered up to a given amount. All
seeds offered are considered by a special
committee, which consults with the seed
experts of the bureau of plant industry,
and recommends purchases in accordance
with the following considerations:

(1) The known quality of the stocks
offered.

(2) The reputation of the firm mak-
ing the offer.

(3) The price, calculated upon de-
livery at Washington, D. C.

"The price, though important, is
never the first consideration; good seeds
must be secured at a fair price, and
'the best value' is the watchword in
the work. The ;'?(lo irg of the seed
is done by contract.

"In order to have first-hand informa-
tion about the quality of the seed used
for congressional distribution, to keep
up with the times in the matter of new
varieties, and to do something toward
systematizing the knowledge of Amer-
ican vegetables, trial grounds are main-
tained at the Arlington Farm and on
the Potomac Flats, near Washington,
and annual trials are conducted at
various places in the United States. All
of this work is under the direction of

W. W. Tracy, Sr., whose long experience
at the head of a large commercial trial-
ground, and whose intimate knowledge
of vegetable varieties especially qualify
him for this work. At the Arlington
larm tests are made of samples of all
lots of vegetable seeds distributed
through congressional orders. Here also
the principal new varieties offered by
seedsmen each year are tested.

' ' Besides the tests at Arlington, the
trialground work looking to the prep-
aration 6f standard descriptions of all
the recognized vegetable varieties is car-
ried on at a number of places in the
United States. Several hundred samples
are planted on each of these tracts, so
that the effect of different soil and
climate may be noted for each variety.
Careful notes are kept on these tests,
and from the field descriptions that are
made it is purposed to issue standard
descriptions oi all the recognized varie-
ties as soon as possible. It is hoped
that these bulletins may become useful
hanuuooks for the seedsmen, especially
for such as cannot well conduct extensive
tria^grounds, and that in course of time
the catalogue descriptions may be more
unified than is the case at present."

FRENCH SEED CROPS.

After the long period of rainy weather
which we had here (and in most Euro-
pean countries, as I hear), at the third
week of June we are now enjoying
bright sun, such as we have not been
seeing for a long time. The result is
that the soil has become so dry all of
a sudden, that farmers are now anxious-
ly waiting for some rain. Most biennial
plants were planted some time ago, in
a pitiable condition, being so very
small and tiny that the question was
whether or not they would get on. Be-
sides, they were stuck into a wet, badly
prepared soil, in which they could not
possibly find any strength at all. The
sudden change in the weather, becoming
so very hot and dry, terribly affected
those young plants, which were either
burnt down or forced to shoot up quick-
ly to seed. We may easily realize that
under such circumstances they will pro-
duce but a very small quantity of seeds.

Such is the case this season for swedes,
turnips, carrots, beets, mangels, etc. Of
course this will be no great inconvenience

as regards swedes and turnips, of which
there are still such large stocks in ware-
houses. On the contrary it will be to
the benefit of both dealer and farmer,
as it will lower the stocks and
cause a certain advance in prices this
year or next, and we all well know the
rise in price is much needed by the farm-
ers, who have now to grow these articles
at such a low price that there cannot
be any living for them under the cir-
eumstances.

1 believe beets suffered mostly, and
it is a great pity to see such small plants
of beets in the fields, which have already
shot up. Certainly the crop will be
worse this year than it has been for a
long time, and consequently a good rise
in price is inevitable. Mangels are not
looking well, either, but there was such
a larger acreage planted that it would
not be easy now to say what they will
do later on.

Cabbages came out the best of all,
as it looks, although a good many of
them perished through the winter, and
some others badly shot up to seed in
some districts; the crop will not be so
bad after all.

Onions have kept very small; they did
not develop properly and a good many
lots suffered last March in earth on
accouiit of long standing wet weather,
and the stalks have become yellowish.
Owing to the extraordinary high prices
of last season, I think that, even if the
plants get on nicely and do not get
broken down by hail or storm, etc., the
fall in price of onion seeds will not be
BO great as it was first expected from
the large acreages planted.

Parsnips and parsley do not look bad
for the present.

Cabbage lettuces and cos lettuces have
just lately been transplanted under very
good weather conditions.

Badishea are quite a failure with us.
Firstly the acreage planted was awfully
small, then the prices paid to the grow-
ers was much higher than usual, so that
no doubt Ave may reckon upon a big ad-
vance in prices.

Mignonette, nasturtiums, etc., suf-
fered terribly from hot weather, and a
good many lots could not even be sown
owing to drought. Sweet peas, which
have to be sown already in March, on
the contrary had to stand a fearfully
wet period, which hurt them terribly, so
only a very poor crop is to be expected
this year. — Horticultural Advertiser.

CINONNATL

The Market

With the beginning of July summer
has begun in earnest. While there is a
little business doing all of the time, it is
just about enough to keep the boys
awake. Funeral work is our only chance
and there is not much of that. The
weather is hot, to say the least, and so
the quality of the stock that is to be
had is not the best. Beauties are hold-
ing out better than any other of the
indoor-grown flowers, and they are noth-
ing to speak of; still they are selling
well and at fairly good prices. Other
roses are not doing quite so well, but
the quality is so poor in most cases that
it is not to be expected. White roses do
best, and some pretty good ones are to
be . seen now and then. Red roses are
about out of the market. Some fine
sweet peas from the field are coming in
now and they sell out well. White and
lavender have the call. Gladioli are not
very plentiful as yet. More could be
disposed of to advantage. This market
is now pretty well supplied with the
usual run of outdoor flowers for funeral
work.

Various Notes.

While the wholesale and retail florists
are putting their business into shape to
take their vacations, the growers are
hard at work changing the soil in their
houses and replanting. This is the hard-
est season of the year for them, and with
the hot weather we are having now the
job is pretty trying. Many of the boys
already have their carnations planted,
that is, those that were grown in pots,
and they are doing first-class. Owing to
the many rains that we have been having
carnations in the field are doing fine
this year, and with a continuation of the
rains the plants will be good.

Tickets are out for the florists' outing,
and arrangements are completed for the
program, which if carried out as it is
intended will provide a fine time for all.
Ben George is hustling to get everything
into shape and now all that is needed
to make our outing a success is a good
day. The chances are that we will have
that.

It is probable that the committee will
select the C. H. & D. E. R. as the official
road to the S. A. F. convention at Day-
ton. The committee is not quite ready
to maKe the announcement as yet, but
everything will be shaped out this week.
Many inquiries are being received by
the committee from persons wishing to
join the Cincinnati delegation. As soon
as definite arrangements are made all of
these will be notified of all particulars.
An invitation is extended to all who can

HYDRANGEAS

rOR SUMMER
BLOOMING : : :

rffflE have a magnificent lot of Hydrangea Otaksa grown especially for July and
"■^ August Flowering. Plants are just coming into bloom, just beginning to
show color, and will be in perfection during July and August, when they are in great
demand at watering places and other summer resorts. There is nothing showier or
more satisfactory for lawn decoration. We make a specialty of them, and find an
increasing demand for them from year to year. They can be shipped anywhere
safely by freight. Large plants in tubs, $2.00 and $3*00 each, according to
size; very large specimens in half-barrels, $S*00 and $7.SO each.

WASHINGTON.

The Market

Though business is dull there is a
great scarcity of roses and carnations
when these flowers are required in any
quantity. The local growers are throw-
ing out many old rose plants in the
process of replanting, and though carna-
tions have not all been thrown out, most
of them have been damaged by heat.
American Beauties, from as far north as
Tarrytown, N. Y., are on the market
in small quantities. Several local grow-
ers continue to send in very good stock
of La France.

It has dawned on several growers here
that the Killarney is a good rose both
for summer and winter, and there are in-
dications that it will, in the future, be
extensively grown here. Among the
growers who have taken it up are the
Oude Brothers Co., A. B. Garden and
George Field.

Various Notes.

W. F. Gude has returned from Phila-
delphia, where on the evening of July 6
he was a guest at the banquet given
by the Philadelphia Florists' Club in
honor of Mr. Dickson, of Belfast, Ire-
land. It will be recalled that the
Kiiiarney rose originated with the Dick-
sons. Mr. Gude thoroughly enjoyed the
hospitality of the Quakers, anu believes
with many others here in Washington
that anybody who calls Philadelphia
slow should be prosecuted for libel.

Both J. L. Carberry and Harry Sum-
mers have been drawn as jurors in Judge
Kimball 's court. That is a better July
job than filling greenhouse benches.

The chairman of the outing committee
would like to have all of the return
postals in by July 20; and please state
how many friends you will bring.
Tickets for the banquet can be procured
at any of the retail stores. There is a
good time in store, so don't fail to be
present. Scotty.

MOLINE, ILL.

Members of the Tri-City Florists'
Association of Moline, Bock Island and
Davenport, la., their families and in-
vited friends, held their annual picnic on

the north bank of the Kock river, a half
mile from the Watch Tower, on June 28.
About sixty members and invited guests
were present, and in spite of the torrid
weather, the day was heartily enjoyed
by all.

The annual quoits contest developed
keen rivalry between the three cities.
Messrs. Temple and Pauli were entered
for Davenport, Messrs. Staff and
Gaethje for Bock Island and Messrs.
Staack and Knees for Moline, and the
umpire was Mr. Boehm of Davenport.
The quoit men from Davenport were
victorious, Moline came second and Bock
Island was last. There is a chance that
Rock Island will protest the decision, as
the pins mysteriously disappeared when
Messrs. Staff and Gaethje were getting
ready to win the event.

Messrs. Pauli, Knees and Gaethje
were the entries in the running race,
and again the Iowa representative
carried off the honors. Davenport also
captured the boys' and girls' races, and
the fat men 's race. Colonel Gaethje, of
Rock Island, made a sensational slide
for the tape in the last event, and came
out of the cloud of dust minus a large
patch on (or off) his nose.

The baseball game and the sleight-of-
hand work of Mr. Boehm, of Davenport,
were other events adding to the interest
in the program. Refreshments were
served during the day, dinner at 12:30,
ice cream and cake at 3:30, and supper
at 6 0 'clock, and a dance was held in
the evening.

The next regular meeting of the asso-
ciation will be held with Henry Pauli in
Davenport, July 12.

PACIFIC COAST.

PAanc COAST bulb market.

From several of the growers of Dutch
bulbs for flowers, and from a few deal-
ers as well, I have heard that there will
be but comparatively few hyacinths,
tulips, daffodils and other stock of that
class used in this portion of California
during the coming season. Our whole-
sale jobbers were so completely burned

out that they have cancelled their
foreign orders, and the growers have
figured that it will be too much of a
gamble to spend money for the bulbs
when there may be little or no demand
for the flowers. They argue that in
the best of times there is but little
money to be made from hyacinths, tulips,
etc., as they are used principally as a
means to fill in when the other crops
are not blooming very well, or during ex-
cessively dark weather, when it is not
possible to get a good supply of other
flowers. It seems to be a general opinion
that there will be no shortage whatever
during the coming season, and that buy-
ing bulbs will be a waste of good money.

There is really little to encourage
the planting of bulbs for forcing under
any conditions, when the miserable prices
that have been received by the growers
during the past two seasons are taken
into consideration. With the possible
exception of valley, prices have been
away down below par.

The fickle taste of the public is to
blame, of -course, but the dear public,
unfortunately for the grower, does not
take him into its confidence until it
is too late, and much unprofitable stock
is handled in consequence.

Dutch hyacinths have been a positive
drug on the market for several seasons.
Roman hyacinths are not profitable to
handle for the florist in most instances,
and it is only when a particular order
for a wedding bouquet is received for
this particular flower that a good price
can be charged. Ordinarily they are
used in funeral designs with a mixture
of other flowers. But as I mentioned
before, they help the grower out when he
is short of other stock and they make
his visit to the retailer at least worth
his while.

Tulips, unless some very early or very
late sorts, have not proven to be money
makers for the last two seasons. The
same fickle public of which I spoke be-
fore decided that it did not care for
them, and so that ended it. Unfortun-
ately they are flowers that cannot be
used to advantage in funeral work, dnd
only in a few instances are they suit-
able for other kinds of work.

The country here is overflowing with
narcissi. They multiply so rapidly,

flower so easily and require so little at-
tention, that they are always found in
some out-of-the-way patch or in some
neglected field. They are used in enor-
mous quantities during their season, but
the price for them has been so low
that no one pretended to grow them for
profit. About the same can be said
of daffodils and jonquils. A few very
early sorts are lorced, but ordinarily
they hardly pay for the handling, the
country being flooded with them during
their season.

Easter lilies paid very well for the
last season to all growers who had them
for Easter, which was just before our
big fire. Those who were unfortunate
enough to be a week or two late lost
considerable money; this may be all
changed, however, in another season.

Valley is usually a good paying crop,
and although this fact has not been the
rule for the last few months, under
other conditions it is quite remunerative.
1 have met several growers who will
plant valley extensively, as well as
Lilium Harrisii and Lilium longiflorum,
but of the other lines of bulbs I have
mentioned there will be but few plant-
ings made.

For garden planting, should there be
much demand, there will be bu. little
stock here. It is claimed by our largest
dealers, however, that the noticeable
falling oflf in the demand for the flow-
ers is equalled by the limited demand for
garden bulbs, especially noticeable last
season. G.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market

There are at present fifty per cent
more stores in proportion to tne popu-
lation of San Francisco than formerly,
but already signs of improvement can
be noticed in the trade. For the first
few weeks there was absolutely nothing
doing except funeral orders, but recently
there has been quite a demand for
colored stock of all kinds. This has the
appearance of more healthful times and
it is possible thnt there will be con-
siderable basiness done here in the near
future.

Stock of all kinds with the possible
exception of fancy roses is plenti-
ful, and the prices are even lower than
those recorded last month. There is a
slight exception also in fancy carna-
tions, some of which net the growers
$2 per hundred.

Peas are very plentiful, but owing to
the fact that the demand has been

much moisture and the stems are short.
The ruling price for the last month has

Asj)aragus and maidenhair are in fair

HEATING SMALL HOUSES.

I wish to ask you for information
about heating a house 14*4x20 feet,

sides three and one-half feet, ridge eight
feet, three benches, two walks, to grow
miscellaneous stock. The lowest tem-
perature has been 13 degrees below zero,
and there are only a few days when we
need to heat in daytime during winter.
I heated the house with one air-tight
heater placed in the center below the
surface of the ground. What size of
boiler, and size and number of pipes,
will be required? How deep should the
boiler be placed, and how shall I ar-
range the pipes? I intend later to add
another house the same size. E. F.

A small, upright heater, like the
Wilks, rated to care for 150 to 200 feet
of radiation, will be ample for this house.
A 2-inch flow carried under the ridge to
the far end of the house and returning
by eight 1*4: -inch pipes should be suflS-
cient to heat this house amply in your
climate. L. 0. 0.

The Market

Business is quiet in the cut flower
line, and a call at the stores in both
cities finds the clerks attending to busi-
ness, while the proprietor may be away
fishing or enjoying some other recreation.
Funeral work with the largest dealers
has been active.

Stock of everything, with the pos-
sible exception of outdoor flowers, is
scarce. Eoses are particularly scarce
and it is sometimes hard to fill orders;
the demand is not at all heavy, but so
few are being cut that a good day now
and then cleans up the rose market in
good shape, rarnations are also scarce
and what we are getting are small and
inferior. Prices are fair. Roses are
selling for $1.50 per dozen, carnations at
from 25 cents to 75 cents per dozen.
Sweet peas are plentiful and are sold
at 50 cents per bunch of twenty-five.
Green stuff is in good supply. Wild
and fancy ferns are marketed in large
quantities, and are used to work up in
designs. Street dealers are doing a
good business in fern plants.

August Vogt says trade is quiet. As
he is located in the residence district,

of roses is small ; outdoor flowers sell to
good advantage.

DAYTON, OHIO.

Convention Notes.

Everything is progressing finely. All
local arrangements are so far completed.
Every committee has been attending to
duties and every one is alive to his re-
sponsibility, to greet all visitors as well
as he knows how. The superintendent's
report of exhibitions shows up fine as
far as exhibitors are concerned. Some
of the larger firms have done nobly, but
we regret that the large wholesale houses
that should take advertising signs, have
not so far responded. The letter of the
firm of Bassett & Washburn was refresh-
ing, with a check for $50 for a sign and
the statement that "it is every florist's
duty to help this convention along."
Only a few more of such Bassetts and
Washburns and the local club will not
have to worry how to make both ends
meet.

All concessions are given free of
charge and the club has only one point
in view, and that is to treat all visitors
gloriously. Even the souvenir program
was left to the private enterprise of J.
Austin Shaw and Harry Altick, so noth-
ing is coming from this source.

It is everybody's desire to make this
the banner convention. So far nothing
is heard of landscape gardeners or plans
of enterprising firms and young men of
push. The Dayton Florist's Club will
see that liberal prizes are offered for
such work. Furthermore there is need
of electric signs of leading firms on the
outside grounds. Such can be offered at
reasonable cost. Wake up, gentlemen,
this is a national convention. All eyes
are centered for the time being on Day-
ton, Ohio. You owe it to yourself, to
your business, to the whole country, to
show the world what our peerless art
does for mankind, H. M. Frank.

OMAHA.

The Nebraska State Horticultural So-
ciety is in session this week Wednesday
and Thursday at Hanscom park pavilion.
Thursday afternoon, July 12, is florists'
day, the program being entirely given
over to the interests of greenhouse own-
ers. Ed. Williams, Grand Island, of the
firm of Brewster & Williams, is down
for an address on "Bedding Plants and
Planting Beds." Irwin Frey, of Frey
& Frey, Lincoln, is assigned the topic,
"The Ideal Carnation." John Bath,
of this city, who is store manager for
A. Donaghue, will offer some suggestions
on "The Care of Cut Flowers."
"Koses" is the topic assigned M.
Stauch, foreman for J. F. Wilcox, at
Council Bluffs. It promises to be an
especially interesting session and draw
the attendance of practically all the
florists in this section of the country.

TOPEKA.

J. E. Bodman, one of Topeka's old-
time florists, is rebuilding his greenhouse
plant this summer, Mr. Bodman is one of
the oldest florists in the city, not in
years of age, but speaking from a busi-
ness standpoint. While his hair is just a
little scarce on the dome, yet Al. still
considers himself one of the boys. His
first experience in the florist business was
as an employee of the old Paul M. Pier-
son Co., before Mr. Pierson sold out here
and went to New York. He later bought
Pierson out and went into business for
himself. He has a very attractive little
store on the main street and enjoys a
good business. He does the landscape
work for the Union Pacific B. B. in this
territory. He took the contract this
spring for the landscape work at the
new state printing plant, where he will
use over 3,000 bedding plants.

James Hayes ' has his carnations all
planted in the benches. He believes in
early planting, and the results he ob-
tains certainly justify his belief. Un-
der the able foremanship of Al. Murray
everything is doing finely.

One of the local florists recently
bought the crop of daisies on the old
daisy farm south of town in the attempt
to corner the market on this rare flower.
The florists here have depended on this
farm for their daisies in former years,
but as none of them have failed we will
hope that the ' ' daisy trust ' ' had no dis-
astrous effects.

C. E. Hubbard had a splendid trade
this spring. He has built up a splendid
reputation as a seedsman, and from
present indications will be equally as
popular as a florist.

We are glad to note that Hiram Hulse
is still in business, having failed to dis-
pose of his place. There would be a
vacancy in the trade ranks here that
would be hard to fill if "Uncle Hiram"
should drop out. Mum.

JOHN LEWIS CHILDS

TLORXL PARK, L. I., N. Y.

PITTSBURG.

The Market

July has been as slow as any one
could wish, and it is just as well it is
so, for outside of Beauties and Kaiserins
there is nothing good to be had in roses,
all other stock being very summery
looking. The retailers are doing nothing
outside of crapes and funeral decora-
tions and the wholesale houses have a
hard time to supply enough good stock
for this. Carnations are scarce and very
poor and asters will be welcomed when
they arrive. The growers have all
dropped asters as greenhouse flowers
and we miss them very much this sea-
son ; but for several years they would
not bring a living price. There are
quantities of shipped sweet peas coming
in, and in nearly every case they arrive
so soft and poor, that most of them
find their way to the garbage box.

Vaiiouf Note*.

During the last week a number of
the boys from the shops and wholesale
houses have gone on their vacations,
and this will continue from now on until
all have had their annual two weeks '
rest.

J. F. Poague, of Washington, Pa., has
just returned from a two weeks ' trip to
Cincinnati, Ohio.

Miss A. L. Wells, of Steubenville, O.,
has returned after a six months' trip
abroad.

Ed. Leitzmann, of Latrobe, Pa., sailed
Monday on a trip to the old country.

J. N. Spanabel, of East Palestine, O.,
was a visitor last week.

Randolph & McClements will vacate
their Schenley Park greenhouses about
August 1. when that property will be
used as a park entrance.

The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. has ar-
ranged with Frank Banning to handle
his cut of gladioli in this city; this
will include his Eeuben H. Warde.

Miss Clara B. Forbes, who has been
managing the Wheeling Greenhouse
Co. 's store in Wheeling, has sev-
ered her connection with that firm and
is now making arrangements to open
a new flower shop there. It will be up-
to-date in every respect. Miss Forbes is
one of the energetic people, who never
fails to succeed in anything she takes
hold of, and her many friends are wish-
ing her her usual success in the new
venture.

The annual outing of the club took
place July 10. It was the usual boat ex-
cursion and everybody had a good time.

HEATING ARSANGEMENTS.

Will you kindly tell me how many
rows of 1 14-inch or IV^-inch pipe it
will take to heat a greenhouse 20x7iJ
feet, inside temperature to be 52 degrees
when it is below zero outside? The
house is ten feet to the ridge with 4V_.-
foot sides, no glass in the sides; steam
heat to be used. J. W. S.

If hot water is to be used to supply
the heat for the house in question, 20x7.'j
feet, it will require a 2 14 -inch supply
pipe and fifteen l^i-inch returns; or if
1%-inch pipes are used thirteen returns
will be required. L. C. C.

I see some inquiry about killing ants.
I find the best plan is to put a small
amount of powdered cyanide of potas-
sium over the hole. Jt kills the ants
when they remove it. For large ant hills
outdoors I use the granulated form. A
fourth of a teaspoonful will clean out
almost any nest. A. Gardner.

SOLLYA DRUMMONDI.

A very pleasing and most uncommon
feature at the recent Temple show, in
London, was a small group of this
pretty little twining plant, thickly
studded with blossoms. The specimens
composing this group had taken pos-
session of some small branches stuck
in the pots, and had been allowed to
grow in quite an informal manner. The
small bright bluebell-shaped flowers were
sufficiently numerous to make a goodly
show, and many times was the question
asked. What plant is thatf Although
comparatively unknown, the two recog-
nized species, S. Drummondi (or parvi-
flora) and 8. heterophylla, were both
introduced in the first half of the last
century. The genus sollya is limited to
Australia, and consequently requires the
protection of a greenhouse in most parts
of these islands. The Australian blue-
bell climber, as the sollya is popularly
termed, is a charming subject for train-
ing to roof or pillar in the greenhouse,
as its slender, wiry shoots, clothed with
narrow leaves, have a light and elegant
appearance, and when thickly studded
with its small bell-like flowers of a beau-
tiful gentian blue, there is nothing else
with Avhich it can be compared. It grows
well in ordinary potting compost. —

The Weekly Florists^ Review^

July 12. 1006.

NORTHERN TEXAS.

Weather conditions are the best —
bright, warm sunshine, with just enough
air stirring to keep from being un-
comfortable. Stock plants are coming
along finely, especially carnations and
mums, which seem to thrive in this cli-
mate. In a trip of several days dura^..
tion, I have had an opportunity to study
conditions closely, and my impression is
that much better success could be secured
by a closer application to details, to-
gether with a study of prevailing con-
ditions, which in my opinon can be easily
overcoma

The soil is the most productive I have
ever had the good fortune to encounter,
crops coming" lip with little" if any atten-
tion. This being the case, the habit of
leaving the soil in its natural state,
without any fertilizer, year after year,
trusting too much in the soil renewing
itself, brings with it the inevitable re-
sult, a gradual decline in its productive-
ness.

Those places which I have seen so
far, where the gardener, or planter, scat-
tered the manure over the ground, in
place of hauling it to fill up some ditch
or enlly in the road, are easily distin-

fuishable from the lands of ' the gar-
ener, who * ' lets well enotrgh alone, ' '
by the large crops raised. The same
conditions are noticeable in our line.

Tairing a flying trip to McKinney, the
county seat of Collin county, your corre-
spondent visited G. Taylor, of that place.
Mr. Taylor has been very unfortunate
lately, having a sick wife, and only a
few days before I visited him, a cloud-
burst almost inundated his place. Mr.
Taylor is an affable gentleman, and I
was glad that I became acquainted with
him.

The Texas Nursery Co. is busy erect-
ing a new house, and when it is finished
this firm will have one of the best plants
in this section. Narcissus.

Hamilton, Ont. — McLeod Bros, are
rapidly rebuilding after the demolition
of their place in the recent cyclone.
They are putting the houses in much
better shape than before. The Webster
Floral Co. is also making repairs
and improvements.

SPRINGFIELD, OHIO.

. At the call of several concerns among
whom the matter has been quietly dis-
cussed for some time past, a meeting was
held Monday evening, July 2, in the of-
fices of the Good & Reese Co., for the
purpose of organizing an association of
florists. The following concerns were
represented: P. J. Agnew, American
Rose & Plant Co., B. C. Blake & Son,
Callander Cactus Co., Ferncliff Floral
Co., Oood & Reese Co., Leedle Floral Co.,
McGregdr Bros. Co., George H. Mellen
Co., Chas. Unglaub, Chas. M. INiutter,
Springfield Floral Co., Schmidt & Botley,
Highland Floral Co. and Harry C. Rees-
er, all of this city; also R. H. ^lurphy
& Son and the Reeser Floral Co., of
Ilrbana, and the Fairview Floral Co., of
Beatty. At this meeting John M. Good
was elected temporary chairman and
Chas. W. Schmiat secretary.

After an informal discussion indicat-
ing general favor toward the project of
forming a florists' cluu, a committee on
constitution and by-laws was appointed,
consisting of Chas. C. Leedle, C. W.
Schmidt and Leman Bradford. Commit-
tees on membership and nominations
were also appointed. The meeting then
adjourned for two weeks, at the end of
which each committee is expected to re-
port.

Considering the importance of this
locality in the growing and shipping of
plants, and the prevailing good will
among its florists, it seems strange that
Springfield .las .thus far been without
organization of any kind.

James McManmon takes advantage of

rcJsep for one cent each. Call and take
advantage of our surplus stock. Your

Dixon, Ilx. — Most of the glass in the
local greenhouses was broken by a re-
cent hail-storm, .some damage also being
done to crops in the vicinity. Although
the storm was short, hailstones an inch
in diameter were numerous.

The Test of Products

Here is a test that every florist and grower can
make for himself, as the construction of your house
vitally affects the stock you grow. If your houses are
not built right you cannot expect to turn out perfect
plants.

Does your house produce the amount of stock and
the kind of stock it should ? Let us furnish you the
material for your next house and then make a test —
we only ask for a trial order.

Our catalogue will tell you more.

Every once in a while you will get a line on what people outside of the
office think of the L & B way of doing things. Of course, we chaps at
the office believe so thoroughly in the L & B way, that sometimes you .
may not take real seriously some of the things we say (giving it the
usual Ad. discount) but, frankly, our office is a pretty serious sort of a
place, and the Ad. man is held right down to proving to you only things
that already have been thoroughly proven to L & B.

CARNATION NOTES.-EAST.

Advance Preparation.

In reality there is no dull season for
the carnation grower, unless it is in
the matter of returns, and that is at
about this time, when all attention can
be given to future stock. Do not forget,
however,' to prepare a suitable place in
which to grow next year's batch of
young stock.

For many reasons this is an excellent
time for this work. The carnation is
not over-fond of fresh manure, nor is
a young plant capable of doing its best
on recently turned sod. Corn or some
other strong growing farm crop can
manage very well under this treatment,
but the divine flower is of finer grain;
so if the land you have in mind is in
sod, by all means spread the manure and
plow this summer. Frequent cultiva-
tion with a disc or cutaway harrow will
put the soil in fine condition to receive
a sowing of crimson clover or other
cover crop, for under no circumstances
leave the suriace bare over winter.

Summer plowing and cultivation will
destroy many cutworms, pests that have
caused us much trouble in times past.
The best remedy seems to be a mixture
of bran, molasses and Paris green, in
the proportion of 100 pounds bran, one
pint molasses, one pound Paris green
and enough water to moisten. Spread
this mixture evenly over an acre of
ground.

Perhaps you are growing some other
crop on the location in question; if so,
contrive to get in the seed of a cover
<Top at the last cultivation. We prefer
erimson clover, as it grows fast in early
spring, decays quickly when plowed
under, and gives us nitrogen at low
cost; if used on land having no crop the
seed can be sown later than if the
ground is occupied. The middle of July
to the first part of August has given
us the best results, the point being to
sow at such time as will allow sufficient
development for the clover to withstand
winter but not to bloom in the fall.

Some growers are obliged to use the
same piece of ground another year, and
while this practice cannot be recom-
mended, with extra care we need have
little fear of results; this is more es-
pecially true since the plan of early
housing has come into practice, the
fhance is offered to restore the soil more
nearly to its original condition. Much
depends on the health of the plants
grown there this year, but in any event
'>e extremely particular when through
Hfting to clear the field of all plants
<^r parts thereof, healthy or otherwise,
for if left to decay they only invite
disease.

Plow as soon as the land is clear,
^PPly a generous coat of air-slaked or
pulverized lime, allowing the surface to
remain rough; in a week or ten days
^Pply manure, cross plow and treat as
you would land in sod.

As before stated, this using the same

piece of ground two years in succession
is not in line with up-to-date carnation
culture, but having been up against this
proposition myself, the result of ex-
perience is passed along.

At the present time we are having
ideal conditions for the growth of plants
in the field— warm days and cool nights.
If thorough cultivation has been kept up
you ought to have a grand lot of plants
to lift and that very soon.

Geo. S. Osbobn.

CYANIDE FUMIGATION.

Please state the amount of cyanide
of potassium to use to safely fumigate
a house of carnations for thrips, that is,
state the quantity for 1,000 cubic feet
of space. Should the cyanide be dropped
into the sulphuric acid full strength or
should the acid be diluted with water!
Also please state the strength of a com-
mon salt solution in water, to use for
spraying carnations for red spider.

H. F. C.

On page 461 in the issue of the Ke-
viEW dated July 12, Mr. Scott (W. S.)
gives a complete plan for fumigating
with hydrocyanic acid gas. In it you
will find the proper quantity to use and
the proper way to mix it. I do want
to caution you to be careful that you
do not breathe any of the gas. Arrange
to let the cyanide into the jar from out-
side with a string run through a hole
in the roof.

For syringing carnations with salt
water dissolve a 6-inch pot of the com-
mon salt in ten gallons of water. I think
you will find the soap solution more ef-
fective than salt, however. Don't spray
too often with the salt water. Once in
a week to ten days is often enough.

CARNATION NOTES.- VEST.

Housing the Plants.

If your houses are ready and the
plants are of fair size, it is not at all
too early to begin bringing them in,
providing conditions are favorable. The
plants should not only be of fair size,
but they should be in that semi-hardened
condition that they are apt to be in after
a week or two of dry, bright weather.
Some years ago we used to imagine that
if a plant stood up crisp and full of
sap, it was in proper condition to lift,
providing it had rained within a few
days. This is just the opposite of what
we now know to be the ideal condition.
Such a plant will wilt badly and suffer
severely, especially if a hot spell sets
in soon after lifting. If you have had
abundant rains lately, then don't be in
a hurry about housing the plants. Wait
for a dry spell, when the rapid growth
will be checked and the plants will
harden up some. Then the plants vnll
wilt but little, and when the roots get
into the moist soil they will take hold
eagerly, and the whole batch will start
to growing at once. Less foliage will
be lost, too.

Supposing conditions are ideal and you
decide to plant; there are many details
you must be careful about in order to
have complete success. Put a good,
heavy shade on your house, of some ma-
terial that will wash off readily. We
have used a clay wash with good suc-
cess, but some kinds of clay will leave
a deposit on the glass which is hard to
get off, especially if it has to be put
on the second time in case of rain. We
have about come to the conclusion that
a wash made of air-slaked lime is about
as good as anything. A couple of rains
will take it off clean. Spray it on with
a hand syringe, such as I have described
repeatedly.

Preparing the SoiL

The day before you expect to plant see
that the soil is in proper condition in
regard to moisture. If too dry, water
it and see that it is wet clear to the
bottom. Nothing could be worse than
to plant in soil that is dry at the bot-
tom. The soil should not be wet, but
it should be moist enough to press to-
getlier firmly when you plant, about the
same as you want it when potting. If
it is too wet it will pack and
bake when it dries out; if it is
too dry it will draw the moisture
from the roots instead of supplying it
to them, and you will find it difficult to
water through it without making a mud
of the whole bench. Dampen the walks
and under the benches, so as to have
as much moisture in the atmosphere
as possible. If there is a high wind you
had better lower the ventilators some.
The plants stand a high temperature bet-
ter than they can draughts.

Treatment in the House.

When planting the broad benches
stretch a line down the middle of each
from end to end. For any man with
a straight eye this is enough to keep
all the rows straight lengthwise. Use
a pole with notches cut in it at proper
distance to guide the planter in spac-
ing the rows. When setting the plants
in the bed, set the larger ones in the
center rows and the smaller ones along
the edge. If any of them are extremely
small put two of them together. Make
a hole large enough so you can set the
ball of soil in and fill around with loose
soil; then press firmly all around, level-
ing off with loose soil. Leave a slight
depression close around the plant to
water in the first few times; not so deep
that the plant will set too deep when
the soil is stirred and leveled later on,
but just enough to hold what water you
give each plant. I don't like to water
the whole bed until the syringing can
be dispensed with, when the roots have
become active. If the soil and atmos-
phere are moist you don't need to water
every time a hundred plants are set in,
but water what you have planted about
once every hour or so. Spray lightly a
number of times during the middle of
the day. Do not drench the plants, but
let it be more like a mist.

Treatment While Shifting.

Out in the field have a careful man
to do the digging, and see that he forces
the spade down deep enough to get all
the roots. Every large root that is
broken off means additional suffering
for the plant. Have enough men to
follow him right up, gathering up the
plants in trays. Let them reduce the ball
of soil to about the size of your fist, if
the soil will stick together. If it all

crumbles off without tearing the roots,
no particular harm is done, but you want
to get such plants in the earth as quickly
as possible. If your carnation field is
close to the houses, do not dip the roots
in water, but get them planted just as
soon as you can. If, however, they
will have to be out of the soil a couple
of hours, you had better dip them. Get
them under cover as soon as possible
after digging, and cover with burlap to
keep off sun and wind, one as bad as
the other. Divide up your force so that
each part (the planting and the digging)
will progress at about the same speed.
Then the plants will not need to lie
around and wilt. When digging, select
all good, healthy plants. They need not
necessarily be of large size, just so they
are healthy and of good form. An ill-
shapen, straggly, or £seased plant means
only trouble later on. Let me repeat that
you should be sure that conditions are
favorable when you plant. Early plant-
ing pays if conditions are right, but I
would rather plant the middle of August
under favorable conditions than in July
under unfavorable conditions, such as
soft plants, etc. So don 't lose your head
in wanting to get planted before your
neighbor. A. F. J. Baur.

RED SPIDER ON CARNATIONS.

My carnations which are in the field
are badly infested with red spider. I
think the hot and dry weather which we
have had is the cause of it. I am get-
ting the plants into the benches as fast
as possible. Is that the thing to do?

C. A. M.

One of the worst things that can hap-
pen to your carnation plants in the field
is to become infested with red spider.
During a dry, hot spell they will sap
the life out of the plants in a very short
time, a condition from which it will
take them a long time to recover, if they

consider far preferable. Lay the water
and put in enough faucets so you can
work with a 50-foot length of hose and
reach every plant easily. Then take a
5-cent bar of any pure soap, shave it into
small bits and dissolve in a gallon of
hot water. "When dissolved, dilute in ten
gallons of clear water. Spray your
plants with this early in the morning,
and two or three hours afterward wash
it off with a sharp spray from the hose.
A couple of applications of this kind
ought to clear them out.

This treatment outside is to be pre-
ferred to taking the plants inside for
several reasons. When you take up a
plant and replant inside it is a rather
severe ordeal in itself, and the plant is
not in condition to stand much in the
way of insect extermination without
causing extreme suffering. So outside of
syringing with clear water, you would
hardly dare to do much until the plants
had resumed growth. The plants would
be much slower to take hold than usual
on account of the weakened condition,
and all this time the spider would be
enjoying a respite. The extra syringing
would not do the new soil any good
either, and besides all the above reasons
it is bad policy to bring spider into
your houses if you can possibly prevent
it. By destroying the spider outside
you can have the plants recuperate be-
fore taking them up, and they will not
be much worse for their experience.
They will take hold as well and do as
well as if there had been no spider on
them, if left out until they get to grow-
ing strong again. A. F. J. Baur.

FERTILIZERS.

What is the objection to using horse
manure in preparing liquid fertilizer for
roses and carnations? S. S. B.

There is no objection and it is often
used. A few years ago Mr. Dorner, of

Callas in the Shelter of Windbreak in the Azores Islands.

ever do. The best thing you can do
is to arrange to combat them in about
the same manner as you would in the
house, if such a thing is possible. If
you can not lay the water to the carna-
tion field and get a fair pressure, then
you are doing quite right to rush the
plants inside where you can get at them.
The following plan, however, I would

Lafayette, Ind., wrote carnation notes
for this journal, and in one article en-
larged on the benefits of a change of
food for plants, referring, of course, to
liquid fertilizer. Horse manure is, I
believe, stronger than that from a dairy
farm and should be more diluted with
water. If a change of diet is good for
plants, then stable manure is one of the

best. Its careless or injudicious use may
have spread the fallacy that it is dan-
gerous. I say if it is good, for I am not
sure that it has been demonstrated that
it is of great advantage.

Two or three years ago there was a
sketch of the life and achievements of
the wizard, Edison, and he was quoted
as saying that a brain worker should
feed on a large variety of food. He
himself ate the greatest possible variety.
You may think this has little to do with
the subject, but the animal and vege-
table kingdoms are much more closely
allied and related than the superficial
thinker believes or understands. Now
it would not take a very keen observer
to refute the argument of Mr. Edison.
There is little doubt but what the con-
stant food of the parents of a Burns, a
Carlyle or Lord Clyde was oatmeal.

But now the supper crowns their simple board — ■
The balesonie parrlteh, chief of Scotia's food.

And SO it was the chief food, and in

many cases the only food, of many an

illustrious Scotchman; how about the

thousands of bright Irishmen whose diet

for months at a time was only the

humble potato and salt, varied only by

the change of potatoes without salt?

Have not genius and brains more often

emerged from these classes than from the

pampered and luxurious classes of any

nation? W. S.

AZORES ISLANDS LILIES.

A New Source of Supply.

The lily-bulb industry in the Azores
Islands is still in its infancy, although
growers there have been experimenting
with lilies for the last eight years.
Lilium longiflorum is the crop with which
the most important results are in pros-
pect, but freesias are already grown
there in considerable quantity, also
callas, candidums, agapanthus and camel-
lias, and the culture of azaleas has been
taken up in a limited way. The freesias
are especially fine, affording a high per-
centage of pure white flowers.

So little is known of the Azores
Islands that when a bulb man speaks of
lilies from the Azores ho is almost inva-
riably asked where the islands are. The
Azores belong to Portugal, from which
country they are some 800 miles distant,
or rather more than the distance from
Cape Hatteras to Bermuda. The labor
in the Azores is Portuguese. The lati-
tude is 37 degrees north. The latitude
of the Bermudas is 32 degrees north.
Climatically the islands are much the
same and topographically there is also a
srmilarity. The Azores are volcanic and
mountainous, with extremely fertile val-
leys. They are perhaps best known to
Europe as a health resort, and as a mat-
ter of fact the Bermudas are also best
known for the same thing. One name
for the Bermudas is the Summer Islands,
and most people suppose the name refers
to the climate, but it is an English name,
the islands having been originally chris-
tened after Sir George Somers. The
Azores are about 1,000 square miles in
area and in 1890 had a population of
about 250,000.

The Lilium longiflorum bulbs are
grown in the usual manner and mature
at about the same time as Harrisii. Thus
far they are practically free from dis-
ease and their habit is notable for its
uniformity. They produce blooms very
freely. The illustrations show plants
cut in the field and another in a pot
which carried seventeen blooms. Num-
bers carry twelve blooms per plant.

Liliutn Loagiflorum Growing in the Azores Iilands.

These are photographs taken in the field
<rrown for Ralph M. Ward & Co. The
Azores lilies are said by importers to be
absolutely sure for the earliest Easter.
There is very little waste because of no
disease. Ward & Co. say, however, that
some growers in the islands have already
developed the careless methods which a
few years ago so impaired the quality
of the Bermuda stock. At present the
output of the Azores bulbs is so small
that the stock is quickly sold and the
demand is left unsatisfied.

One of the accompanying illustrations
shows a field of callas growing in the
Azores. It is a practice to grow these
crops behind high windbreaks, one of
which is seen in the picture. The callas
do well and produce flowers of excep-
tional size. Earl Bros., of Elizabeth,
N. J., had 8,500 of these calla bulbs last
season and cut from them fully 30,000
blooms, which sold regularly at $1 per
dozen in the New York market. The
cost of the bulbs laid down at their
greenhouse was less than $30 per thou
sand.

The Forcer's View.

Bassett & Washburn, Chicago, have
been forcing the Azores Islands lilies
and C. L. Washburn thus relates their
experience with them.

"Three years ago we received the first
Azores Islands lilies we ever had seen.
They were two plants in bloom in pots
shipped us as samples by Robert Craig
& Son, of Philadelphia. These were from
'•ulbs imported by Henry & Lee. We
were so pleased with the appearance of
tliese plants that we bought 5,000 bulbs
of the same kind and last year we in-
' reased our order to 10,000 of the Azores
'>ulbs. Of these we placed 5,000 in cold
"Storage to be retarded for summer flow-
• rs.

"These bulbs are a distinct type of

''ly. They are, you might say, abso-

'utely free of disease so far as those

we have handled are a sample. This is

;> great feature in their favor. The

' ulbs are received late in August in this

ountry and are slow in growth. We

otted them as soon as received and set

•lem outdoors, well covered with straw,

ntil along in October, by which time

•hey were well rooted and had made a

; r.nvlb abov«< tlic soil. AVo then put

them ill a rather cool house, say 50
degrees at night, with plenty of ventila-
tion during the day. When they had
made a good start to grow we gradually
increased the heat, depending on just
when they were wanted. Our Azores
bulbs last winter were held back a little
too long, as we only wanted to bring
them in for Easter, so for six weeks just
before Easter we had to force them
quite hard. We had to give them a

Azores Longiflorum with 17 Flowers.

niglit temperature of 75 to 80 degrees
and ran it up to 90 degrees during the
day. They stood it all right, but the
flowers were not so large as if grown
in a lower temperature.

"The one great feature of the Azores
Tsl.inds lilioa is th.it thoy ;irt! .•ibsulntcly

healthy. The plants all grow to an even
height and grow so sturdy and strong as
not to need staking, though we did stake
ours. The flowers are not so large as
the Japan longiflorum or multiflorum,
but are of good size and of strong
texture. They stand a great deal
of rough handling without becoming
bruised. The flowers are all perfect;
not a cripple have we seen. The only
thing against these bulbs is that they
are so slow to grow. They have to be
pushed along to get them in by April 1.
They submit to cold storage almost as
well -as the giganteum.

"I do not want to say anything of
our experience with Japan longiflorum
or multiflorum, as the tale is too sad
and expensive to recall these joyous
days. We can give you our experience
with that class of stock in November,
when 'the melancholy days are come,
the saddest of the year,' etc. Just
now is vacation time; fishing excur-
sions and picnics keep the smile busy
that won't come off, and we do not
care to think of Japan bulbs."

LILIES IN ENGLAND.

A great deal is being said in Eng-
land just now among florists as to the
merits of the various types of Lilium
longiflorum. L. longiflorum eximium, Ia
longiflorum multiflorum and L. longi-
florum giganteum are the three varieties
used the most extensively. Demand for
lily bulbs is good, as retarding for the
market is a new line of work. Prices
are correspondingly high. There is some
confusion among growers as to the dis-
tinguishing features of each variety, and
some doubt exists about the most profit-
able kind to grow.

The giganteum, although the most
expensive, is the best variety for re-
tarding. It has a darker stem, and
narrow leaves set close together. It is
a stronger grower, and has thicker,
better flowers. Lilium longiflorum multi-
florum is probably, considering the price,
the most profitable for market growers.
Its blooms are slightly larger than
eximium and it produces probably three
times as many blooms.

The eximium variety produces not
nearly so many blooms, and they are of
poor quality. Eximium bulbs are ranch

AZORES ISLANDS LILIES.

A New Source of Supply.

The lily-bulb industry in the Azores
Isl.amis is still iu its iufaucy, although
growers there have been experimenting
with lilies for the hist eight years,
laliuni longillorum is the crop with which
the most imi»ortant results are in pros-
pect, but I'reesias arc already grown
there in considerable quantity, ;il.so
lallas, candidums. .agapanthus .and camel
lias, and the culture of azaleas has been
taken up in a limiteil way. The freesias
are es])ecially fine, iitl'ording a high per-
centage of pure white flowers.

So little is known of the Azores
Islands that when a bulb man sjieaks of
lilies from tli(> Aztues he is almost inva-
liably asked where the isl.ands arc. The
Azores belong to Portugal, from which
country tiny are some S(\0 miles distant,
or rather more than the distance from
• ape llalteras to Mermuda. The labor
in the Azores is I'ortuguese. The lati-
lucie is ;',7 degrees north. The latitude
of the Mermiidas is 3l' degre<'.s north.
< limatic.illy the islands are much the
same and topu^raphically there is also a
similarity. Tiie Azores are volcanic and
mount.aiiioii^. with extremely fertile val-
leys. They are ]ierha)is best known to
liiiiope a- a health resort, and as a mat-
ter of f.iri the Bermudas .are .also best
known lor ihe saaie tiling;. One name
for the liennudas is the Summer Islands,
;ind most people suppose the name refers
to the idimate. but it is an Knglish name,
the island- having been originally chris-
tened after Sir Oemge Somers. Tiie
Azores are about l.ono sipiare miles in
area and in l'^!»(l had a pojmlation of
about lTiO.ikk).

The Lilium longillorum bulbs are
grown in the usu.al manner .and mature
at about thi' same time .as llarrisii. Thus
far thev are practically free from dis-
ease and their habit is notabh* for its
unif<irmity. They ]irodui'e blooms very
freely. Tiie illustr.ations show plants
cut in the field and another in a pot
which carried seventeen blooms. Num-
bers carry twelve blooms per plant.

Some diflBculty is experienced in know-

BEAUTIES.

Treatment for Young Stock.

When young Beauties have attained a
length of twelve or fifteen inches and
are forming buds, if they are strong
they should be cut back, taking off three
of four of the topmost eyes. This will
divert part of the strength into the
lower eyes, causing them to break and
form a more bushy plant.

There being nearly always a demand
for Beauty buds, the temptation to mar-
ket them as early as possible is fre-
quently the cause of giving the young
plants a stunted habit, from which it
takes them a long time to recover. De-
nuding the plant of so much of its
breathing apparatus causes a check to its
growth, the wood hardens and ripens
prematurely and there it remains till
cool weather sets in. Beauties, to give
good results in winter, should not also
be expected to give a large cut during
summer or early fall.

During recent years and particularly
in some localities the worst trouble that
Beauty growers have had to contend
with, and which still keeps them guess-
ing, has been the pest called thrips. This
insect has caused more loss and damage
to Beauty crops than all the other trou-
bles combined. At this season the grow-
er should keep a sharp lookout for these
pests, so that they may not secure a
lodgment among the young stock. Be-
fore the plants begin to bear a crop the
insects give little evidence of their pres-
ence, and it requires a sharp and prac-
ticed eye to read the signs, but as soon
as the buds begin to develop, their work
becomes manifest to even the most inex-
perienced.

While infesting all varieties of roses,
thrips commit their greatest destruction
among Beauties under glass, and to
houses containing this variety the grow-
er should direct his best efforts and at-
tention.

There are many species of these pests,
some of them natives and many of them
imported, and they are all inimical to
rose culture under glass. The imported
varieties are quite as destructive as their
native congener. They are all so nearly
alike as to make it hard to distinguish
them, but as their habits and food plants

are so much alike and the inotliods of
extermiaating them so similar, the grower
does not need to spend his time in deter-
mining their identity.

Ftevention being so much better than
cure in this case, rigid precaution against
increase in, and in proximity to, rose
houses, and their introduction into the
houses among such materials as soil,
manure, litter, etc., should be in force
the whole summer and fall. Keeping the
ground near the houses and in the vicin-
ity of soil piles clear of weeds is one
of the best preventives.

If the weeds have been neglected they
should now be cut down and burned. It
is also a good plan to burn the grass and
ground herbage near the houses during
a hot spell. Weeds in the houses, on the
paths, and underneath the benches should
be strictly kept down, as these afford
both feeding ground and shelter.

During the growing season and while
we are practicing disbudding is a favor-
able time to apply the remedies, as we
can use more radical measures then than
we can apply with safety or prudence
after we allow the crop to come.

After crops begin to show color the
means of destroying these pests become
more limited, as persistent fumigating

This is a genuine case of black spot,
and no doubt has been brought about by
allowing the plants to become pot-bound
and then overwatered.

Plant out in a bench, giving about one
foot of space, and using a compost of
four parts good, rich, loamy sod to one
of decomposed cow manure. Allow
plenty of drainage, give plenty of water
and free ventilation night and day, and
pick off all affected leaves. The trouble
will soon disappear. Eibes.

NUMEROUS ROSES.

A very full catalogue of rose names
has just been issued in Paris and serves
to show how great is the number of
varieties. The names of all known
roses, or at least of more than 11,000
of them, are arranged alphabetically.
Concise details are given relating to
the section to which each belongs, the
name of the raiser, the year of pro-
duction, the color of the flowers and the
synonymy. Some idea of the numbers
of varieties dealt with may be gleaned
from the fact that hybrid perpetuals
number 2,791, teas 1,434, provins 1,713,
hybrid teas 473, polyantha 207. A list
is given of the varieties issued each
year from 1800, when there was one
only. In 1833 none was added to the
list. In the year 1905 thirty-three addi-
tions were made. In 1901 no fewer than
169 new names were launched. Vibert,
of Angers, is credited with 600 intro-
ductions, a far larger number than any
other raiser.

PINCHING SPECIMEN PLANTS.

The end of the third week in July is
late enough for the last stopping of
specimen plants, or for the general run
of pot plants that may be planted out
for the time being, and which it is pur-
posed to take up later and pot, and have
produce a dozen or so flowers.

Ivory and other growers of like deli-
cate habit and constitution should not
be pinched so late as the stronger ones,
and they need more care in watering
when a whole lot of mixed varieties are
growing together. The man behind the
hose can make or mar a good lot of
stock in a few days by sheer carelessness,
unless he uses common sense in his water-
ing, but the same applies almost as
strongly to other crops.

Routine Work.

General work in the houses now con-
sists largely of routine work, staking
plants, tying them up, and keeping the
beds sweet and free from weeds by a
weekly stirring up. It pays to examine
the under side of the foliage once in
a while. Many a stray brood of cater-
pillars can be picked up this way, and
one can also see where red spider begins
to get in its work.

-^oout every two weeks get a sprayer
that will get right under the foliage,
and wash every leaf on the under side.
The top side of your foliage may be
perfectly clean while on the under side
you may find whole colonies of insects.
The instinct of self-preservation teaches
them early that they arc not nearly so

liable to meet with disaster if on the
sheltered side of the leaf.

Early Buds.

During the last few days of July those
growers who cater to a very early
market, or who are endeavoring to be
the first in with their flowors, take what
buds they can find on tho earliest varie-
ties. There are several kinds that will
come finely from a late July bud, among
them being Monrovia, Montmort, Gas-
tellier and Fitzwygram, and it is from
these early buds that the flowers come
which one sees about the end of Septem-
ber. The market is limited so early in
the season, but a few dozen flowers can
be sold to good advantage, and when we
get a killing frost, as we sometimes
do, around October 1, they are worth
big money. Charles H. Totty.

PLANTING MUMS.

Is 6x8 too far apart or too close to
plant mums, to grow two blooms to a
plant, put in June 30, ready to be topped
the same day? I have such varieties as
Touset, Chadwick, Dean, Amorita,
Jones, Enguehard, Xonin, Ivory and
Duckham. II. W. S.

Plants can be grown 6x8 and two
flowers taken from each, but tlie same
space is not too much to grow single-
stem plants to carry one flower only, if
you are wanting to grow only the finest
grade. Ivory is possibly the only excep-
tion. This variety has small foliage,
and can be grown much more closely
than the others.

As I mentioned in the notes a week
or two ago, one must be guided by his
market in growing a large number of a
medium grade, or a few of superior qual-
ity. I would say grow as good quality
flowers as vou can, and leave the other
kind to the other fellow. C. H. T.

A NEV HYDRANGEA.

Arborescens alba grandiflora is the
name which has been sent for registry
to cover a most valuable new hardy
American hydrangea, which as soon as
thoroughly disseminated will be known
as the "snowball hydrangea," from its
resemblance to the viburnum flower, so
that this synonymn might as well be
bracketed w'ith it from the first.

The original plant was found grow-
ing wild in the woods of Ohio, and the
variety bids fair to iDecome the most
valuable hardy shrub of middle latitudes,
its greatest value, aside from its won-
derful beauty, being that it comes into
bloom just after the flowering time of
the lilacs, syringas, viburnunis and
spring-flowering spiraeas, and, further, it
continues on into August. The panicle
is more like hortensia in form than
paniculata grandiflora. and is a pure
shade of white, the stem and leaf are
both refined in form, and the panicle
18 of fine size. The bush grows some
four feet in height and is about the
same in width.

Tt is a boon to the American .garden,
and it is probable that it will rank very
high as a florists ' flower. S. A. Hiu,.

ACHILLEA AND PHLOX.

"When is the right time to plant Achil-
lea The Pearl in a warm climate, and
how long does its bloom last? Does it
nave to bo renewed every year and
^ill it stand the hot sun ? When should
annual phlox be planted in the south?

Hydrangea Arborescens Alba Grandiflora.

What is the difference in the bloom of
the annual and the hardy white phlox,
and what are the best varieties for
southern culture? We shall be thank-
ful for any information that you can
give us about these plants. L. J. S.

This fine little hardy plant is classed
as an alpine, yet a good authority says
it is well adapted for a dry, sunny po-
sition. We have found it to do well in
rockwork gardens, and its .season of
flowering extends for several months.
It should do well in Alabama unless
the winters are too warm and humid.
The summer suns will certainly not in-
jure it. Plant in a well drained, light
or gravelly soil.

The variety known to florists as The
Pearl is a variety of the species A.
Ptarmica. It is propagated by cuttings
of the young growths put into flats or
beds of light soil or sand in early
spring, or by divisions of an old bt'd
pulled apart and replanted. We had a
bed or row which lasted and flowered
four or five years; but like many percn
nials the centers of the plants heconu'
exhausted, and a n»nv planting should
occur every three or four years. Its
bloom is long lasting and it is a valu-
able florists- ' flower, ('specially where
there is much demand for white flowers
for designs, et<'.

Phlox Drummondii is an annual found
growing in the state of Texas, and on
account of its freedom of growth, va-
riety and brilliance of color and won-
derful propensity to bloom, it is one of
our most highly esteemed garden an-
nuals. Through crossing and selection
there have also been evolved several
types of distinct form, the star phlox
and several others. I am not able to
describe botanically the difference in
the floret of P. Drummondii and the
hardy P. decussata, and there is little
apparent diiTerence, but there is a wide
difference in the species. The greatest
distinction is that one is an annual and
the other a hardy perennial. The hardy
phlox has large terminal panicles, while
the blooms of the annual Drummondii
are described as broad, flat-topped
cymes. If you will notice, the panicles
of tho hardy phlox resemble Hydran-

gea paniculata, while the flowers of
H. Drummondii are very different. That
is the best distinction we can give.

P. Drummondii, if planted thickly, will
flower itself to death by the end of July,
while if given plenty of room and nour-
ished by water and, more than all, if the
flowers are kept cut off if you have use
for them, it will continue to flower late
in the fall. With many plants an early
flowering habit is greatly desired, and
this is produced by several transplant-
ings. Transplanting is a check to growth
and induces an annual to flower, and
that's an end of its existence. So the
Phlox Drummondii is better sown in the
open ground where it is to flower, which
ill .\labama would, I should think, be in
the month of ^larch, or as soon as the
ground is in good order to work and
there is no more fear of any frost; I
know that although you are in a semi-
tropical climate, you still have unseason-
able fronts. W. S.

PLANTS FOR WESTERN BEDDING.

I A luiinT liy Kdwiird AVIlliiuiis. of Crand Is-
liiiid. read befcre the Nebraska State Hortlcul-
lm:il S.K-lety at Omaha, July 11', 1!X)6.]

To begin with, the term bedding plants
covers the i)Iants that do well when
nlanteil out of doors. Everybody knows
what a geranium is, one of our most
useful phuits. I have had the best suc-
cess with geraniums by potting the cut-
tings in the fall in 2-inch pots. The
secret is to get your soil firm at the base
of the cutting, water thoroughly, and
shade for a few days; then the operation
is done. It saves handling the plants
twice ; besides, your percentage of ])lant3
will be greater than if you propagate
them in the sand. Geraniums are bad
about damping off in the cutting bed.
These plants will furnish good cuttings
about the middle of February; that gives
you your 3-inch and 4-inch stock in bloom
by the middle of May, in a temperature
of 54 to .56 degrees at night, and 58 to
(iO day heat, sun heat 70 degrees. Give
l)lenty of air at all times, and it is well
to give the plants a handling over, and
take off the large leaves; that lets in the
light and helps to break out new shoots.

Now in regard to varieties; they are
so numerous that I won 't endeavor to re-

count them. What you want are good
red, pink, and white, and a few fancy-
leaved ones, in both single and double.
It is better to grow a quantity of each
variety than to have fifty varieties and
only a few of each. When my customer
comes in and says, * * I would like to have
five or six dozen geraniums for my beds,
all one shade," you can fill the order
without substituting. I don't believe
there is any line of business in which a
man gets more roasting than does a
florist. So my reason for growing a
quantity of what I do grow, with the
fancy-leaved varieties, and Mme. Salleroi,
is a good one.

It is best to lift a few plants of each
and pot in a 5-inch pot, then you can
take your cuttings off during the winter.
Mme. Salleroi roots easily, so that a cut-
ting put in the sand by February 1
will make nice stock in three months'
time.

Other Good Bedders.

Cannas are great acquisitions to the
flower bed. They are easy to handle and
don't take up much bench room. After
the first frost cut the foliage down to
within five inches of the ground. In
lifting leave just enough dirt to cover
the roots. Lay in the sun for a few
days so as to ripen them. A good place
for the florist to winter them is on boards
laid along the ground under the carna-
tion bed. By dividing the clump about
ivlarch 1 and placing the eyes in boxes
of sand, placed on tiie steam pipes under
the bench, they will start nicely, and
when the foliage is up about five or six
inches, pot them up in 4-inch pots. This
method of starting saves considerable
bench room and you don't pot up a lot
of eyes that won'c make good plants.

Dahlias, when given good care, make
nice plants for a background, or to fill
in some corner. The same treatment
will apply to them as to cannas, with
the exception of starting. Dahlias
grown from cuttings make good plants,
and will bloom profusely the first year.
Cuttings can be taken off about the latter
part of February by laying the tubers
out, covering slightly with soil and keep-
ing them moist. The eyes will begin to
break freely and the old clumps can be
divided later on.

Coleus is in great demand for edging,
or for solid beds. The most satisfactory
way I can find, also the most economical
way, to grow them is to lift a few plants
of each variety before frost, cut them
back to within ten inches of the pot and
carry them through the winter in a mod-
erately warm house. When spring comes
you have all the cuttings you want. The
first part of April is time enough to
take cuttings; they root in twelve to
fffteen days. The old plants are subject
to mealy bugs, so keep your hose on them
occasionally.

Lantana.s and heliotrope treated the
same way are better than cuttings taken
in the fall, only they don 't lift very well,
80 you had better put a few in 5-inch
pots in the spring and plunge in a frame
through the summer.

Other plants, such as abutilon, agera-
tuni, salvia, verbenas, marguerites, double
petunias, feverfew, cuttings taken before
frost and rooted in the sand, will give
you good stock to propagate from
through the winter.

Plants from Seed.

The following plants can be grown
from seed and give good satisfaction, be-
sides saving much valuable room; single
petunias, asters, lobelia, mignonette,

moonflower, nastuxrtium, Phlox Drum-
mondii, stocks, ziiinnia, candytuft; seed
should be sown thoe first part of March.

Now, in sowing seed it takes patience
and care. A goo -d rule to go. by is to
cover the seeds thei i r own thickness. First,
thoroughly water t.3lie soil before sowing.
Shade during the day until they begin
to show up; then be careful not to let
them get dry or wil Ited.

Pansies for earl- y plants can be sown
in the latter part •of August, and trans-
planted to the franrmes when the character
leaves show; cover with sashes and later
put on a covering mci course manure over
all. It is also a good idea, to m^ike a
sowing in flats ataoout the first part of
February, which v«=viil give you another
batch to fill up •the frames after the
earlier ones are gonme.

Alternantheras, : in different varieties,
are indispensable as carpet bedding
plants. I have lia(3 the best success with
them by taking cumttings the latter part
of August, puttiuig them in a flat of
half soil and halflE sand, watered thor-
oughly and placed along the edge of a
bench on the grou md, shaded until root
action begins. By-^ spring you have all
the wood for cuttc^ings you want, or if
your supply is adequate, prick them off

ties, I find that the following varieties do
well with us here: Hardy phlox, peonies,
Achillea The Pearl, campanula, dielytra,
delphinium, heliantbus, funkia, pyre-
thrum, Eudbeckia Golden Glow, and
anemone. To increase the stock of these
either by cuttings or divisions, take cut-
tings oflf the soft growth in the spring
and make divisions about September 1.

Planting and Care.

Now a few words on the planting and
care of these plants. The most essential
part is to get the ground in proper
shape. What I mean by proper shape is
this: Whether for fall planting or
spring, give the beds a liberal coating
of well rotted cow manure. If the
ground vis dry, water first, and let it
stand until it can be spaded without the
soil sticking to the spade, when you are
ready to do your planting. This applies
either to rain, hose watering or sprinkling
can. Half the success with bedding
plants depends upon the planting out.
Plants purchased from a florist, as a
rule, are pot-bound. So in setting out
be sure to make your holes deep enough.

Plants, to inake a good showing, as a
rule will stand to be planted from ten
to twelve inches apart. After making

in 2-inch pots aboumt the middle of April
juid plunge in a hootbed. This treatment
does not take up beench room.

I believe I have - named about all the
most important boedding plants in the
?oft-wooded line.

Roses f»<>r Beddingf.

The hybrid tea roses are very satis-
factory as summer — bloomers. Take the
plants from the boench the first part of
.lune, cut them ba«ck a little, and give
them a thorough soaaking ; they will bloom
profusely. I have ocarried them over with
good success by - putting four or five
inches of soil arour:nd the base, and later
on, as the weather gets more severe, the
same quantity of c»«arse manure. In the
spring, as the weaeither gets milder, re-
move your top co^^ering. Later on re-
move this second ocovering. Cut oflF all
dead wood and jom will find that in a
short time new shooots will show up and
give you good rosess throughout the sum-
mer.

In the line of ba rdy bedders that give
good satisfaction aos to blooming quali-

the holes, place the plants and if the
arrangement suits you water each indi-
vidual plant. After the water has soaked
away fill up the holes with dry soil; this
method keeps the soil from baking
around the roots. It would be well if we
could abide by this rule in all our plant-
ings. The soil needs to be kept loosened
by frequent cultivation. Don't be afraid
to go down well; that is where you
want the moisture to go.

As a rule, sufficient rain falls to do
most plants, cannas and dahlias excepted.
They can tase a soaking every evening
and will be better for it. When water-
ing, give the plants enough to thorough-
ly soak them, not a light sprinkling, as
that only does more harm than good.

"Window-boxes, veranda-boxes and
hanging baskets are used extensively. I
find that the wire baskets lined with
moss are the best, as they hold the mois-
ture better.

Asparagus Sprengeri is used exten-
sively as a basket plant and seems to
thrive nicely. For boxes or vases I
would recommend mixing your soil with

•stable manure, as it seems to hold the
moisture better than the cow manure
■does, and the ammonia in it seema to
^ive the plants good color. After a
flower is through blooming, pick it off,
■stem and all; your plant will do better
and bloom more freely.

Ornamental bedding is something that
«8 always left to the florist to do, and
lucky is the florist who has a man who
•can do ornamental work, for nowadays
everybody is a specialist. To get an
all-round man is a hard proposition. You
will find them mostly on the smaller
places, where a man is expected to be
able to grow most anything there is to
tte found, make up designs, decorate, and
Jast but not least, be a steam fitter, car-
penter and a good wheelbarrow pusher.

Bulbs for Bedding.

I can't close this paper without say-
ing a word or two on bulbs. "What is
prettier in the spring than a nice bed of
tulips, hyacinths, and narcissi? Often-
times people come in about the first part
of March and want bulbs, and when you
tell them that fall is the time to put
them in they look surprised. Bulbs can
(be put in after a light frost or two. Put

GERANIUM SYCAMORE.

A. S. Halstead, of the St. Clair
Floral Co., Belleville, 111., has for sev-
eral years been telling his friends about
a wonderful new' single -pink geranium
he was growing at his place. The ac-
companying illustration shows a bench
of it photographed early this spring.
Dr. Halstead has given the name Syca-

more to the variety and will give the
trade a chance to see it at the Dayton
convention. It ia a bright-colored sal-
mon-pink, a cross between Mrs. E. G.
Hill and Bruant. The habit is vigorous,
dwarf and floriferous, the trusses being
very large. It is an excellent bedder,
one of its strong points being that it
will endure beating rains.

THE CARE OF CUT FLOWERS.

[Paper read by John H. Bath before the meet-
ing of the Nebraska State Horticultural Society,
at Omaha, Neb., Thursday, July 12.]

From a commercial viewpoint, I think
that growers, generally, give too little
attention as to how their stock is handled

them down five or six inclies in the
ground about December, and give them a
good covering of coarse manure; then
as the weather begins to moderate in the
spring, remove your covering. After
they are through blooming, which de-
pends on the season, lift them up, cut the
tops off, and let the roots lie in the sun
for a few days, taking them iu at nightt
Then lay them on a shelf in the cellar
and about May 10 you can put out your
bedding plants.

GERBERA AURANTIACA.

Gerbera aurantiaca is a fine companion
to E. Jamesoni, but as it conies from a
<lry region of Natal and the Transvaal it
needs greenhouse protection during win-
ter, and very little water at that period.
The flower-heads are scarcely so large
as those of G. Jamesoni, but the ray
florets are a wonderfully vivid blood-red
•color with a yellow undersurface. The
leaves arc entirely oblanceolate, pubes-
<5ent above and tomentose beneath.

after it is cut. Of first importance is
to have the stock sorted and placed in
water as soon as possible after being
cut. I find it a goo^t idea to have ves-
sels of water in the greenhouses, placed
conveniently, wherein the blooms may
be placed, awaiting their removal to the
sorting room, then if the cut is large,
the petals are not soft when being
sorted, thereby preventing a great deal
of bruising that they usually receive.

After sorting, the long-stemmed and
short-stemmed stock should be placed in
separate jars of proper depths, to keep
them together and straight, and on
hardening, weak stems will be found to
liave straightened considerably. Flow-
ers kept in the cellar over night should
always have their stems cut afresh, and
the* water refreshed if it is desired to
hold them longer. The temperature of
the cellar or ice-chest should be 45 to
50 degrees Fahrenheit all the year
around.

Too much care cannot be used in
packing flowers, whether the distance be

one mile or a hundred. The damage
aoes not come from the jar of the wagon
or cars, but the blooms bruise each other.
Wax or manila tissue paper or cotton
cloth should be placed between the lay-
ers. Always have a cushion of paper or
air space at the head of the box when
packing, because a very slight jar in a
forward direction is sure to bruise them
badly.

I do not believe that greenhouse em-
ployees receive enough instruction on the
handling of cut flowers. They are almost
invariably rough with them. The blooms
can be handled rapidly and gently. I
personally have seen a number qf ex-
l)ert rose growers who treated the flow-
ers, after they were cut, in a most shame-
ful manner, such as squeezing long and
short together, or laying them down hard,
almost dropping them, on the table.
This probably is mere thoughtlessness.
It takes no more time to handle them
properly. I believe that as many of the
tiowers as will permit should be broken
off, instead of being cut with a knife,
because more of the pore surface is
brought in direct; contact with the water
in this manner. This applies particularly
to chrysanthemums, lilacs, heavy-
s emmed roses, and others having heavy
stems.

Handling in the Store.

un receipt of the stock at the stor^
it should always be gone over, the stems
freshly clipped, and bruised petals and
deformed foliage removed. If the flow-
ers have been shipped from a distance,
they should not be used until they have
been chilled a second time.

In these days of fancy carnations, we
are trouoled at times with many split
calyxes. This can be remedied, if care-
fully done, with a needle and thread, or
with stemming wire, sewing the parted
caiyxes together. Too many flowers are
usually placed in one vase. Put them in
several vases; the flowers won't wilt,
I as oiherwise, the foliage is not destroyed,
ana you have apparently a larger stock
; and an infinitely more artistic display
I for your customers' inspection.

As to preservatives, many have sug-
gested the use of patented stuff, chloride
I of sodium, bicarbonate of soda, and even
i a rank poison, nux vomica; but I be-
lieve Nature intended cool, clear water,
and plenty of it, as the preservative, par
excellence, of cut flowers.

Flowers grown in a greenhouse should
never be offered for sale until they have
stood in water and been kept in the
cellar or ice-chest at a temperature of
50 degrees for at least twelve hours, and

twenty-four woulil be better. This al-
lows the stems to become filled with
water, for the pi.ii acts much as a
sponge. Then, and not until then, will
the cut flowers keep, and be satisfactory
to the buyer. Fresh air is as important
as fresh water; for instance, at this
time carnations will keep but one day
at the store, and shouhl I take some of
the same lot to my home, wliere the air
circulation is gooa, they will keep three
to four days longer. A draft will wilt
a rose badly, and scart-ely injure a
carnation, so it is best to avoid drafts.
In conclusion, I would say tliat common
sense, coupled with an o'aserving eye,
should govern the care of cut flowers.

BEST RED GERANIUM.

In the Review of July 12, Mr. Scott,
under the heading "six best geraniums"
recommends to S. & Y. that they grow
fifty per cent S. A. Xutt. Now Xutt
is a very fine geranium, and there is
perhaps more of it grown tlian of any
other one variety in commerce. We
used to grow it, too, for dark red, years
ago, but we are now growing Marvel,
which we find a much better variety than
Nntt. Marvel is noi a new variety, in
fact I think it is almost as old as Nutt,
at least I have known it for fifteen years
or more. TiYhy it has never caught on
like Nutt I cannot account for, especially
when taking into consideration its good
qualities. I have seen many other dark
red varieties come and go. and de-
servedly so, because all had one bad
fault or anotner. Not so. liowever, with
Marvel. This variety has all the good
qualities of Xutt and none of its faults.
For instance, it grows more stocky and
heavier than Xutt, and is just as free
from disease. It is equally as free in
bloom and blooms as early and steadily.
The trusses are held up above the foliage
better and are just as large. The in-
dividual floret is larger and of better
form, while the color is a trifle brighter.
It does not take on that blackish cast
you see in X'^utt outside. A large bed
of it makes a grand sight.

I have seen these two varieties grow-
ing side by side for years, and have
never seen Nutt make a better show than
Marvel under the same conditions, but
in nearly every case it was the reverse.
So constant was the superiority of
Marvel that we have discarded Nutt al-

together for dark red. It cannot be
said that this is a local condition. In
the early nineties, when I was employed
at E. G. Hill's, at Richmond, I first
noticed the superiority of Marvel over
Xutt. Some years later, when I was
foreman at H. A. Nieraeyer 's place at
Erie. Pa., I procured some plants of
Marvel, an([ we found the same dif-
ference, and displaced Nutt with Marvel
as rapidly as possible. Since engaging
in business here in Indianapolis, we have
verified our opinion time and again until,
as I have said above, we have discarded
X'utt entirely.

On the other varieties I quite agree
with Mr. Scott as to the percentage of
each color to grow. I Avould like to see
Marvel tried by every grower of gera-
niums. It can be procured from most
any of the large geranium propagators.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

"We can safely say that the cut flower
market is dull. A few have been busy
with funeral work, and that is all there
is for the retailer. The light demand
at the wholesale houses each morning
shows this plainly. The quantity of cut
stock coming into town is quite large,
and the wholesalers have their troubles
in disposing of it. We had a good rain
Sunday, which no doubt saved the asters
and sweet peas.

All roses are looking much better of
late. Kaiserins sell well. Bride and
Maid are too small and soft. Cochet
roses are coming in for a fair demand,
especially white. Beauties, both long
and short, are none too good. Carna-
tions have become scarce, that is, good
stock. Poor stock is plentiful enough.
Sweet peas were hard to sell last week.
Job-lot prices were 50 and 75 cents per
thousand. Asters and gladioli are having
a good demand. Dahlias sell slowly. All
greens are abundant.

Qub Meeting.

The Florists' Club meeting held on
last Thursday afternoon in Edwards-
ville was one of the best and largest at-
tended meetings held for a long time.
Thirty-six members, most of them bring-
ing their ladies with them, making the
party number fifty-two, left for the homo

of President Ammann at 12:30 p. m.,
arriving at 2 o 'clock. At the station
we were met by Mr. and Mrs. Ammann
and members of his family, and were
escorted to his place a block away. The
ladles were taken in hand by Mrs. Am-
mann and her daughters, and the mem-
bers by Mr. Ammann. The latter party
went on an inspection tour through the
greenhouses, which were being planted
with a young stock of roses, all in fine
condition, and a field of 50,000 carna-
tion plants, which opened the eyes of
some of our growers. Mr. Blixen, the
foreman, showed the members all the
points of interest on the place. In the
meantime the ladies inspected the new
residence just finished, and it's a beauty
in all respects from roof to cellar.

After this the members and ladies
proceeded to Ihe meeting place four
blocks away, in the old fairgrounds.
The meeting opened at 3 o 'clock with
all the officers present. After the regu-
lar order of business liad been disposed
of, Fred Meinhardt, state vice-president
of the S. A. v., who has charge of the
transportation for Dayton, reported that
the round trip would coat $12. The ques-
tion as to which road to take would be
left to the choice of those going and
would be decided just as soon as all the
names were handed in. Chairman Beyer
of the trustees reported that everything
was in readiness for the picnic on July
2(5, to which the club donated $50 for
expenses, all money left over to be
placed in the entertainment fund of the
club. Gus Miller, a grower, presented
his name for membership, which will
be acted upon at tlie next meeting.
Nomination of officers then took place:
for president, Prof. H. C. Irish, E. W.
Guy and Frank J. Fillmore; for vice-
president, Fred H. Weber, .John Connon
and George Angerniueller ; for secretary,
Emil Schray and J. J. Beneke; for
treasurer, R. Windt. Chas. J. Juengel,
A. G. Bentzen and Henrj- Lohrenz; for
one trustee, to serve three years, C. A.
Kuehn. A. Fehr, William Winter and
R. J. Scott. Frank Fillmore led a dis-
cussion on growing carnations in pots,
which was interesting. The secretary
announced the election of oflScers for
the next meeting, and discussions by A.
Jablonsky, on "Growing Begonia Gloire
de Lorraine," and by C. C. Sanders, on
"Growing Nursery Stock," followed.'
Before adjourning a vote of thanks was

-extended President Ammann for the en-
tertainment given the members. After
adjournment the entire party partook of
an elegant lunch. After this the of-
ficial photographer, Rude Windt, took
the pictures of the party. Preparations
were then made for the return trip, after
three rousing cheers for the president
and his family. The return trip was
uneventful; the two hours' wait at
Mitchell was not relished nnu li by the
ladies.

Notes of tbe Trip.

Prof, and Mrs, H. C. Irish were seen
to enjoy the surroundings very much.

John Connon and his charming young
bride say they spent a most enjoyable
afternoon.

George Angermueller lost his coat, but
recovered it at Mitchell, when he mis-
took a stranger for Dr. Halstead, of
Belleville.

Fred Meinhardt, Charlie Kuehn and
Henry Lohrenz left early and missed the
good time at Mitchell.

John Steidle, J. W. Duijford, Henry
Braun and ladies did not reach their
homes in Clayton until after midnight,
but then they had a good time.

Henry and Mrs. Berning stayed over
to visit relatives in the city.

Carl Beyer, Frank Weber and F. J.
Fillmore were seen to hobnob with the
members and talk picnic all afternoon.

Fred Ammann was pleased at the big
turnout. The stay-at-homes missed a
great treat as usual.

E. W. Guy, Henry Emunds and
Adolph Fehr, of Belleville, were on
hand, but stayed only for the nomination
of officers. The next meeting will be
held in Belleville.

Billy "Winter was cje only Kirkwood
• member present, and he postponed his
Chicago trip in order to be on hand with
the boys.

W. C. Smith attended his first meeting
as a member, and was delighted that
he was the only fare passenger in the
bunch.

A. G. Greiner has his sunbonnet with
him. He should be on the detective
force. He's a good sweater.

Charlie Juengel and his corn-cob pipe

were on hand, and he came near losing
his wife in the round-up.

Various Notes.

G. H. Pring is now in charge of the
orchid houses at Shaw's Garden, in the
position recently vacated by Mr. Mc-
Clure, who, with his wife, has returned
to his old home in Buffalo. Mr. Pring
attended the last club meeting in com-
pany with Professor Irish.

W. J. Pilcher started Monday for a
two weeks' trip west. It is rumored that
he is looking for a location between here
and Kansas City, where he will build
a large range of greenhouses.

J. W. Dunford is sending a fine lot
of Lilium longiflorum giganteum to
Berning 's, and they are selling well.

C. C. Sanders has sent to Texas for
Colonel Moss's badger, to be used in the
badger fight at the picnic next Thurs-
day, and will wager any amount that the
badger can lick any dog in the neighbor-
hood.

C. A. Kuehn is handling some extra
fancy stock in roses, such as Perle,
Ivory, Carnot, Kaiserin and Beauty.

At Ellis 's thousands "of sweet peas are
handled each day, from Kirkwood, and
sell well, though cheap in price.

The florists of St. Louis should not
forget the anniml outing of the Florists'
Club next Thursday, July 26. Every
florist, with his family, is invited to par-
ticipate. The place is at Romona park,
on the suburban line. The trustees are
working hard and say this will be one
of the best outings the club has ever
had. The features will be the baseball
game and the badger fight. A good time
is in store for those who attend. All the
wholesale houses will close at 12 o'clock
on that day.

G. Angermueller is still handling some
very good looking carnations, also a fine
lot of outdoor stock.

W. C. Smith & Co. disposed of several
hundred Bostons in 5-inch pots the last
week.

THE DAYTON SOUVENIR BOOK.

It is true that I have tjaken charge of
this book individually, because the club,
through its president, did not wish to
accept the responsibility. Mr. Shaw,
through an assistant, is aiding me on the
advertising, as I believe he has done on
several souvenir books, for which he will
receive an ordinary commission, but the
net proceeds of the publication will be
expended for such features of the Day-
ton meeting as will be approved of by
the executive committee of the S. A. F.
and the Dayton Florists' Club.

I trust that the souvenir book will be
supported, for while I am not printing
it for profit, I would not enjoy doing
the work and losing money besifles.

The Market.

Supplies to the flower markets con-
tinue to dwindle in quantity, while the
demand is extremely spasmodic. Good
material of any sort is rather scarce but
enough for all requirements. In carna-
tions Enchantress is now almost white,
but Fair Maid again proves itself a use-
ful summer sort and holds its color well.
A few blooms from outdoors are already
arriving. These bring fair prices, but
many are still cleared out at low rates.
Sweet peas were scarce and of poor qual-
ity for some days, owing to heavy rains,
but are improving again. Those of good
quality sell well, but many are quite
poor.

Boses are not abundant but a good
many poor, short-stemmed ones still

arrive and realize little. Lily of the
valley continues in good supply. Gypso-
phila is arriving in quantity, also
Achillea The Pearl, and several of the
herbaceous phloxes. Some nice Lilium
speciosum is coming from one or two
growers. The white variety proves use-
ful in funeral work. There is no change
in green stock.

Various Notes.

The Gardeners' and Florists' Club
will hold its annual picnic on July 25
at Waushakum grove. South Framing-
ham, in lieu of Caledonian grove, West
Roxbury. The sports committee decided
that the latter place was less suitable
than the former, hence the change. Spe-
cial cars on the Boston and Worcester
street railway will carry members and
friends to the grove. There is a roomy
field for baseball and cricket, splendid
pine groves, grandstand, etc. The sports
committee, consisting of F. E. Palmer,
chairman; Edward Hatch, William Sim,
Peter Miller and David Lumsden, has
been hard at work and has secured a
splendid lot of prizes for the various
events. An attendance of 500 is expected
and a cordial invitation is extended to
any who are not members of the club to
join in spending an enjoyable day.

In spite of the great fight being made
against the brown-tail and gypsy moths
by national, state and local authorities
this year, it would seem that the first
named pest is still spreading at an alarm-
ing rate, and will soon be found in
quantity outside the confines of New
England. The gypsy moth seems to be
as destructive as ever, but the strenuous
efforts being made to prevent its spread
are beginning to tell a little.

The Halifax Garden Co., at Halifax,
Mass., is making large additions to its
already extensive area of glass. Half a
dozen new houses will be built this year,
the two largest each 600 feet long. To-
matoes, cucumbers and lettuce occupy a
number of houses at present and look
first-class.

Carbone had the decorations for the
wedding of Senator Crane to Miss Board-
man at Manchester on July 10. White
orchids were used for the bride's bou-
quet.

July 15 was the first dry Sunday we
had for many weeks. It being St.
Swithin day, the proverbial forty days
without precipitation was looked for, but
a fall of over half an inch of rain early
the next morning and other showers
since have shattered any such hopes.

The Boston parkways are unusually
attractive this year, thanks to the copio«s
rains. At present the loniceras in fruit
are especially handsome. A big fight is
being put up against the moth pests,
several power sprayers being constantly
at work.

It will pay florists to attend the sweet
pea show at Horticultural hall on July
21 and note the newer kinds on exhibi-
tion. We find that fine new orange pink
variety, Henry Eckford, is worthless here,
as the flowers burn worse than any other
sort we have grown, with perhaps the
single exception of Scarlet Gem.

PITTSBUHG.

The Market.

We have certainly had delightful
weather here, and just about enough
business to give every one left in the

shops a little exercise. If one will just
consider other seasons, he will be satis-
fied and then will be able to get more-
pleasure out of these opportunities for
relaxation.

There is nothing out of the ordinary
about the wholesale places. A little good
stock and not u great deal of poor stock
is on hand.

Boat Excursion.

The florists' boat excursion was aD'
immense success. The steamer on which
we were to go met with an accident,,
and at the last minute we changed to-
the barge Beauty, which was towed by
a smaller steamer. But we were better
otf for room in the way of a larger
deck and a dancing saloon. The boat
left the wharf at 9:30 and reached the
grove shortly after noon, but all had
lunched on the boat and were ready to
start the sports. At the place we
stopped there was a good beach for
bathing, and all of the boys from the
wholesale houses took to the water for
an hour. They had it all to themselves,
as no one else joined them. The win-
ners of prizes in the athletic events
were: Boys' (6 to 8 years) 100-yard
dash, A. Burki; girls' (6 to 8 years)
100-yard dash. Bertha Walters; boys^
(9 to 10 years) 100-yard dash, N. Aug-
ney; girls' (9 to 10 years) 100-yard
dash, Florence Ingham; 100-yard three-
legged race, 11 to 13 years, E. Mains-
and Ed Ludwig; girls' (11 to 13 years)
100-yard dash, Myrtle Kraus; men's-
100-yard dash, C. Stewart; 100-yard egg
and spoon race, Lena Ludwig; 25-yard
potato race, Ed McCollum; 100-yard
bag race (14 to 16 years), Fred Holz-
man; 100-yard dash (growers only), J.

Kiley; women's 100-yard dash, Mary
Boss; ladies' 100-yard dash. Miss Lease;,
fat men's 100-yard dash, Ed Smerchel;.
ladies' 100-yard dash, Carrie Jordan;
girls' (14 to 16 years) 100-yard dash^
Josephine Henderson; 20-yard peanut
race, Vic Mont; fat women's 100-yard
dash, Mrs. Palmer; ladies' (17 to 20-
years) 100-yard dash, Annie Beibel;.
boys' (6 to 13 years) 25-yard hopping
race, J. Boss; running broad jump (boys-
15 to 18 years). Master Geer; running,
broad jump (men only), J. Gerwig;
tug-of-war, won by growers; cakewalk.
on boat, George Marshall and Miss Car-
rie Gordan.

The ball game was a hotly contested
affair and was much better than the
average amateur team puts up. The
score at the end of seven innings was eight
to eight. When the game stopped in-
answer to the boat whistle, lots were
drawn for the prize, which was won by
the growers.

The boys from the Pittsburg Cut
Flower Co. won all the cash prizes.

One of the features was the number
of girls and women, about three for
every man.

The steamer arrived in dock at 10 p.
m. with everybody tired, but all of one-
mind that it was the best outing the
club has ever given.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

Trade was fair last week and no com-
plaint is made. This week started off
with a good shipping demand, but an
absence of local buying. Receipts of
roses are on the increase, and it is diffi-
cult to move the lower grades, although
extra Kaiserins bring $10 per hundred.
Beauties are rather more abundant, but
the best are selling well at regular sum-
mer prices. Good carnations are scarce
and the receipts of indifferent stock are
lighter than at any time this summer,
for nearly all growers are now engaged
in clearing their houses in preparation
for a fresh start.

Kennicott Bros. Co. reports the laat
100 dozen peonies taken from cold stor-
age Monday morning. One or two others
have small lots, but all will be cleaned
up within a day or two, although the
demand is now light. It has been a fine
peony season, lasting ten days later than
usual. Auratum lilies have become abun-
dant. There are still plenty of longi-
florums, but candidum has passed.

Outdoor flowers are seen in quantity,
interest now centering upon the aster
crop. The first arrivals were not on
time, but this week will see receipts in
considerable quantity. It appears that
the dry weather in June, for we are
more than six inches short of the normal
rainfall to date, has seriously affected
the aster crop. The plants are small
with many growers and are starting to
flower weakly on short stems. Those
growers who have had better luck will
be likely to realize good prices until the

later varieties come in, which are said
to be in better shape.

Dry weather has also affected the
sweet peas. Receipts run into the hun-
dreds of thousands, but quality is in
many cases poor, and careless bunching
subtracts further from the value of the
crop. There is simply an enormous glut
of sweet peas now in the market.

Cornflowers, gaillardias, valley, daisies
and other items are abundant. Daisies
are especially good.

The Way to Do It.

Frank Schramm, who does business
under the name of Schramm Bros.,
Arlington Heights, and has six houses
of carnations, says the past season has
been an excellent one, both for size of
cut and average price of blooms. He
says that the grower who takes the
money is the one who produces a good
medium grade of stock, not the extra
fancy stock, nor yet a poor grade, but
the kind of stock everybody wants every
day. That he is qualified to speak is
shown by the fact that he has just in-
vested a part of his surplus in a Thomas
flyer, eighteen horse-power, with all the
latest automobile fixin's.

The Plant Trade.

The big growers of young plants for
the trade have been complaining that the
sale of rose stock was not as brisk as
it should have been, but in the last few
days demand has taken a spurt and stock
is going out at a fair rate. The de-
mand for chrysanthemums from small
pots is something to marvel at. It seems
more and more every year that grow-
ers are buying their cuttings or young

plants of chrysanthemums from pots in-
stead of propagating their own. There
is a prospect of a big sale of field-grown
carnation plants. Those growers who
have their stock on low ground have
fine plants, but those on high ground
are suffering from drought. Last Sun-
day's heavy rains did not reach a num-
ber of the carnation fields north and
west of town.

Street Men Missed.

It is generally conceded that stock
is realizing .slightly lower average prices
than last year, the decrease falling upon
the lower grades, not those used by
the better class of stores. ' In search
of an explanation a number of growers
have come to the conclusion that it is
because street salesmen are not operat-
ing. They consider that if a few bas-
kets were on the street the unwieldy
accumulation of sweet peas all would be
taken care of. Not only would the peas
themselves bring a fair return to the
grower, but other itemls, especially those
of medium or low grade, would sell much
better and the whole tone of the market
would be improved. Incidentally, the
present complaint of dull local business
is largely from down-town stores, where
the advertisement formerly afforded by
stands now is lacking.

Marriages.

Mr. and Mrs. George Wittbold an-
nounce the marriage of their daughter,
Marie, to Fletcher A. James, on Wednes-
day, July 12. Mr. James is carnation
foreman for the George Wittbold Co., at
Edgebrook. The couple have gone east
for a bridal trip.

Great Grates.

As fast as old grate bars are burned
out many growers are putting in the
Martin rocking grate. The call for this
grate is largely increased by the fact
that the growers who have used it for
one or more seasons are almost without
exception equipping other boilers with it.
The grate costs considerably more than
the stationary bars, but is figured to
make a decided saving iu fuel, and that
is what all the growers are after.

Various Notes.

The Florists' Club held a fairly well
attended meeting July 12. A goodly
delegation is promised for Dayton.
President Hauswirth reached home July
15, from a trip of two months to Cali-
fornia, and will have some interesting
experiences to relate at the next ^ssion.

Otto Ristow has thrown out his roses
and is replanting with carnations. A
number of the growers north of town
are beginning benching field-grown
plants.

W. W. Barnard Co. has first Harrissii
in this week.

E. F. Winterson is suffering with

Alex Newett, of the J. B, Deamud

on the farm near Joliet.

The Chicago Rose Co. is beginning to
cut young rose stock, and the plants
are reported as looking fine. Wire work
business shows no let-down with them.

A. L. Randall, who is summering on
his peach farm on the St. Joe river,
comes over every Saturday for a day
at the store.

Mrs. W. W. Randall went to Michigan
on Monday, and ' ' Web ' ' is now a sum-

A. C. Kohlbrand, of Amling's, is
spending a week fishing, and next week
will go to Cincinnati with his family
for a visit.

The Benthey-Coatsworth Co. received

fit responded. The basement under the
Central Floral Co. also was flooded.

Not all the retailers are closing at
6 p. m., but those who stay open do not
do enough business so that it affects the
majority.

At E. H. Hunt's they have a label
rack which does away with the "post-
office ' ' which has heretofore been a
feature of all commission houses. The
post by the water tap is encircled by a
wire frame with a hanger for the num-
bered labels of each growth. The labels
are perforated. It is much more' con-
venient than the old method.

C. M. Dickinson and his family re-
turned on Tuesday from a fortnight's
fishing trip.

Thos. J. Murphy, formerly with Poehl-
mann Bros. Co., has gone to Warren,
O., to take charge of Mrs. Gaskill's
place.

C. G. Papsch has gone to Sewickley,
Pa.

Monday, July 16, Kennicotts shipped
eight dozen peonies to New Orleans that
were cut June 5 and had been in cold
storage forty days. The variety was
Queen Victoria and its keeping qualities
are such that E. E. Pieser had no doubt
of their standing the journey well.

August Gutzloe, a gardener and florist
at the east end of Chicago avenue, was
thrown into jail when he went to a police
station to complain of a nuisance, and
the daily papers are making much of it.

Interest in the bowling team increases
as the time for the Dayton convention
approaches. Tuesday evening a large
number of contestants attended the
weekly "bowl-fest" at Bensinger's
alleys.

Visitors.

There have been a number of visitors
in town this week. Among them were
the Bertermann brothers, of Indianap-
olis, with their families, on the way to
South Haven for an outing; H. M. Al-
tick, Dayton, O., working up interest
in the great convention to be held in the
Ohio town next month; Armin J.
Tiaur, of the Baur Floral Co., Erie, Pa.,
on his way to visit his brother at Indi-

The Market.

The market is literally dead at times,
and during the last week, if not dead,
then sleeping. Stock is poor in quality
and there is little of it ; there was hardly
enough Saturday to go around, and yet
there was only a slight demand. The call
from Newport amounts to little, except
for orchids. Window decorations are
largely of ferns, from the graceful

The Busiest
Thing You Know

Anywhere and everywhere dampness is likely to
cause RUST or DECAY. You are familiar with the
amount of damage done through Rust to all iron work
around a Greenhouse. It works all the time and works
harm. The boilers, piping, iron smoke stacks, steam
traps, pumps, engines and windwills are all easily
afifected. The use of Mindura kills rust and will prevent
further formation of rust already formed. It is the only
paint that really resists moisture.

cibotium to the rugged Boston, with
Elegantissima, Whitmani and Scottii all
as popular as ever. There are a few
good roses and carnations. Weather con-
ditions are favorable. If the weather
would remain as it is, New York would
be a delightful summer resort. All the
wholesale stores now close at 4 o'clock,
and will continue to do so until Septem-
ber.

Tuesday, July 17, we had one of the
hottest days of the summer, followed by
a terrific storm which was heavier over
in Jersey than it was in the city. It is
feared that outdoor stock suffered se-
verely.

The Dayton Trip.

Interest in the Dayton convention is
growing every day, and now that this

great annual reunion is but a few weeks
distant, one may safely begin to estimate
the attendance from the east. The
transpoi-tation committee of the New
York Florists' Club has arranged to
travel by the New York Central via
Niagara Falls, with stop-over .privileges.
The South-western Limited will leave the
Grand Central station at 2 p. m. August
20, and will arrive at Dayton at 8
o'clock Tuesday morning. A special
Pullman will be afforded the conven-
tionists, and two of them if necessary.

It is expected that the Boston and
New England contingent will join the
train at Albany; on the Avay the Buf-
falonians will be "lifted," and it is
expected that the Clevelanders will also
join the procession. Doubtless, too, the

Detroit host will by this time have ar-
rived by boat at Cleveland, so that a
multitude of several hundred should come
down from the north to Dayton. "We
count on at least fifty from New York
and the immediate vicinity. The fare
for the round trip will be $22.67 and the
extra charge for Pullman $4. Doubt-
less many will avail themselves of the
opportunity of a visit to the Falls, with>
a side trip to Toronto on the return,,
and altogether this promises to be one
of the most enjoyable excursions andT
conventions the society ever ha.s known...
Alessrs. Sheridan, Nugent and Treandly
compose the transportation committee of"
the club, and those desiring berths re-
served for them can notify any of these-
gentlemen at once, and accommodations
will be secured.

Variottt Notes.

The exodus to Europe continues. J.
If. Troy leaves next week for his annuall
business and pleasure trip, and will at-
tend the international conference ' on:
plant breeding, July 30, in London, Eng-
land. Mr. Ward will also leave during
the coming week, and Louis Schmutsr
sailed last Saturday for his native coun-
try, France, his first trip in many years.
On Friday Mr. Mills, of Helena, Mont.,
sailed on the Celtic. Early next month
Phil Kessler, of the Coogan building,
will visit Germany.

F. Lautenschlager. with Kroeschell

there seems to be at last a prospect
of the complete destruction of this
nuisance.

G. M. Geraghty, of Donahue's, is
spending the summer at his old home in
Denver.

Importations of supplies from the Eu-
ropean market are beginning to arrive,
the result of the personal selections of
Messrs. Reed, Hermann and Geller;
there are many novelties among them.

The Limprecht Florists' Supply Co. is
refitting its building, so badly damaged
by the fire a few weeks ago. Max Lim-
precht, who has been dangerously ill
for so long, gives some promise of re-
covery.

John J. Foley, 226 Bowery, is sum-
mering at his home in Madison. He re-
ports no diminution in business on ac-
count of the hot weather, and a steady
demand for his floral photographs.

James M. Thorburn & Co., the seeds-
men, after many weeks of work in mov-
ing, have now occupied their new five-
story building at 33 Barclay street,
where their facilities cannot be excelled.

During June the number of new tele-
phones installed in New York City was
3,591. This is of importance to every
user, including all florists, for it in-
creases by just so many the number of
persons with whom business may be
transacted by phone. The telephone is a
mighty important factor to many lines
of business, but to none is it of greater
importance than to the florists. Many
fashionable retailers do the bulk of their
business over the phone and wholesalers
^0 much in that way. The long-distance
is taking the place of the telegraph for
ordering cut stock to be shipped to out-
of- town dealers.

The Julius Eoehrs Co. is building
four large houses, 30xi50, for the grow-
ing of orchids exclusively. When com-
pleted, this great plant will include
nearly 100 houses, all modernized arid
filled with a grand stock of every de-
scription. Bay trees of every variety
and size are in great demand this year.
The growing appreciation of the orchid
in every city of any importance in the
country is here realized and the prophetic
eye of the senior member of the com-
pany sees in the near future a demand
that present growing will be far inade-
quate to supply.

Steamer work has shown a most en-

normally dull July. Donohue had many
fine baskets for the Kaiser Wilhelm on
Tuesday.

Wadley & Smythe had the table deco-

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

Business is at its lowest ebb. There
are probably fewer cut flowers coming
in town this week than at any previous
time during the season. The features of
the market, if we may use that term,
are the increase in asters, white predomi-
nating, and some very choice sweet peas
coming in from a distance. Gladioli are
plentiful.

ket. We had no interest in the game at
all and none of our employees were play-
ers. When we play a game we will have
the nerve to come out under our own
name. ' '

A Wholesaler's View.

A prominent wholesaler, in discussing
the Florists' Protective Association of
Philadelphia, said that it has two strong
points in its favor. It will benefit him
by enabling him to meet hia obligations
promptly, and it will benefit his cus-
tomers by compelling their competitors
to sell at a fair price. Under such an
arrangement no reputable retailer need
fear unfair competition from those who
wish to shirk their obligations.

The Express Problem.

Edward Reid, chairman of the Flor-
ists' Club committee on express suits,
has made a thorough study of the sub-
ject of the relations between the com-
panies and their patrons. Mr. Eeid be-
lieves that the next clear case of de-
layed shipment of cut flowers, if prop-
erly brought before the company, can be
settled, or won in court should the com-
pany decline to settle, and that such a
case should be used as a precedent on
future occasions.

Various Notes.
William R. Gibson, formerly with
Pennock Bros., of this city, now with the
J. M. Connelly Co., Charleston, S. C,
was seen in M. Rice & Co. 's one day this
week. Mr. Gibson, who is looking well,
is on a visit to his family in this city.
He speaks enthusiastically of the possi-
bilities in Charleston. The confidence of

the flower-buying public there, once se-
cured, is easily held. There are no local
growers, flowers being obtained from
Philadelphia, and, at times, from Savan-
nah and Atlanta. The southern-grown
stock is of fine quality during the winter
months, but climatic conditions make it
impossible to produce high-grade flowers
during warm weather.

Walter P. Stokes told a correspondent
of the Review that he had done more
business during the first fortnight of
July than was done by the old firm of
Johnson & Stokes during the correspond-
ing period last year.

Paul J. Klingporn opened the Rosary
Flower Shop at 2029 South Fifteenth
street last Tuesday. This store was for-
merly occupied by Charles P. Poryzees.
Mr. Klingporn, who first managed the
cut flower department for H. Waterer,
seedsman, on Seventh street, below Chest-
nut, was afterwards right-hand man for
George M. Moss, wholesale florist, 32
South Seventeenth street, and later man-
ager for Dumont & Co., 1305 Filbert
street. Mr. Klingporn has the best
wishes of his friends.

John Jensen, the popular florist of
West Philadelphia, has started on a trip
to his old home in Denmark. His
friends wish him bon voyage.

W. E. McKissick is receiving some very
high grade sweet peas.

There are now three who have the
courage to say "profession"; D. Fuer-
stenburg, A. Farenwald and Phil. Rob-
ert Kift will undoubtedly be the fourth.
No man who writes such poetic and in-
spiring articles about what we have done
for mankind can much longer remain in
darkness.

The Leo Niessen Co. is receiving some
fine white asters.

Mr. and Mrs. William Blacker, of
Clearfield, were in this city recently on
their way to Atlantic City.

A prominent member of the Florists'
Protective Association states that I was
in error last week in saying that the
rules of the association apply only to
Philadelphia and Camden counties. They
arc operative wherever the members do
business.

KANSAS QTY.

The Market.

The conditions of the market remain
about the same as last week, except that
roses are more plentiful. They are
shipped in from Chicago, as home-grown
ones are very scarce and poor in qual-
ity. Sweet peas are more plentiful.
There were only a few weddings this
week and most of them used sweet peas
and snapdragons for their decorations.
The weather has been delightful, cool,
and with plenty of fresh air for this
month. We need rain badly, for carna-
tions are growing very slowly. If we
don't have rain soon there will be quite
a number of small carnations housed
next month. Asters out* of doors are
heavy in bud, and a few of the early
varieties are coming in bloom now.

vacant. We all wish him a speedy re-
covery.

Ernest Groshuff, head gardener at the
soldiers' home at Fort Leavenworth for
the past four years, lias accepted a posi-
tion with the city park board. He is
noAv in charge of the flower beds between
Ninth and Eighteenth streets, on the
Paseo. Mr. Groshuff believes in lots of
water, for he is surely pouring it on the
beds. The plants were very small when
first set out, but if cared for as he does
it, they will be large and fine by Sep-
tember.

Ed. Humfeld left Wednesday on a trip
to Omaha to visit friends and to see how
the florists are doing things up there.
He will be gone several weeks. Alexander
Kerr is in full charge of the place dur-
ing Mr, Humfeld 's absence.

The Kansas City Floral Co. sold its
store this week to ^Ir, Papadakos, of the
Owl Floral Co. Mr. Shaeffer, the re-
tired florist, who is now in the real es-
tate business, transacted the sale. Mr.
Papadakos now has two stores within a
block of each other. He is quite a
hustler, and comes from Chicago. The
store he bought is one of the oldest
stands on Walnut street, and was for-
merly owned by John Schneider.

Mrs. Beidermann. the South Prospect
avenue florist, is still at her usual place
in the market with her wagon full of
plants. She now has quite a large lot
of yellow coreopsis ipth excellent stems,
in fact the finest we have seen this sea-
son. She sells them at 1.5 cents a dozen
or 50 cents a hundred wholesale. She
also does a large business in bouquets
of mixed flowers.

Mr. Thornjiill, the Rosedale florist, can
be seen on the market with plants. He
also raises fruit, such as apples and
grapes. He raises quite a lot of cannas
which he stores under the benches; and
they seem to keep to perfection.

Andrew Arnold had a fine trade this
year. He is now grading and leveling off
a large space for hotbed frames. He
intends to raise vegetables and plants
for the city market. He also grows
bedding plants. His greenhouses are
located in the eastern part of the city
near Sheffield. Andy is an industrious
young man and we wish him success.

A plant agent claiming to represent
a large firm of St. Joseph, with head-
quarters somewhere in the east or north,
rang the door-bell at a large residence
the other day, and the first thing that
he said was, "I have come to see about
replacing five rose bushes that have been
reported to us as dead, that we furnished

a year or so ago. ' ' The man at the door
said that he had never bought any roses
from his firm. ' ' Yes, but you must have,
as I have the report and have come to
see abouf^them. " After a long con-
fidential/talk, trying to make the gentle-
man belteve tliat his firm always made
everything right, the agent finally suc-
ceeded in getting aii order for $9.00
worth of stock. Busy.

TVIN QTIES.

The Market

Business is dull and few if any of the
dealers are doing much. What little
is being done is in funeral work. Stock
is not plentiful by any means. Roses
are very scarce and what few are brought
in by the growers are of an inferior
grade. Carnations are small and infe-
rior and are not worth more than 25
cents per dozen. There seems to be an
exceptionally heavy demand for sweet
peas, and it is hard to know where to
buy them in this locality.

Summer prices have kept up nicely in
nearly every instance. Roses are sold
for $1.50 per dozen.

St.PauL

The Ramaley Floral Co. reports busi-
ness as fair; this firm is carrying a good
stock for this time ox the season.

The Swanson Floral Co. reports that
trade is good. Last week it had a large
wedding out of town.

L. L. May & (^o. have received a large
importation of palms, which came
through in fine shape. Mr. and Mrs.
May have just returned from the seeds-
men's convention at Toledo.

From all reports the florists ' picnic,
which will be held Thursday, July 19
(today), will be well attended, as all,
with but few exceptions, have agreed to
take it in. A trip down the Mississippi
river is a fine thing this warm weather,
and an enjoyable time is looked forward
to. Minneajmlis will send a large con-
tingent.

Minneapolu.

Even when the thermometer is 85 and
90 degrees in the sha<le, the New York
Floral Co. has its windows packed full
of carnations at 25 cents a dozen, and
from all reports is successful in selling
them. Trade the last season has been
good with them, and what profit they
have made has been entirely on carna-
tion.s, as they handle no roses to speak
of.

James Soudcn has been kept very busy

at the greenhouses and is not to be seen
in the store very much.

The Donaldson Glass Block Co. seems
to be doing a fair trade.

Carl Johansen, of the Powers Mercan-
tile Co., says trade is only fair, but it
compares favorably Avith last year's bus-
iness.

The Whitted Floral Co. has its new
store fixed up in goo<l shape. Tnere are
a number of new fixtures, including a
refrigerator counter, which adds greatly
to the appearance. Felix.

Visited Boston : John C. Leonard, of
the Leonard Seed Co., Chicago.

The onion set harvest at Louisville,
Ky., is well under way and the crop is
falling nmch below that of last year.

Bulletin No. 239, published by the
Agricultural Experiment Station of Cor-
nell University, contains valuable infor-
mation on some of the diseases of beans.

Judging from some of the California
growers' latest reports, onion seed will
not be so scarce as the previous advices
indicated. Estimates of what a growing
crop may produce are more or less unre-
liable anyway.

E. ^ Neubert, W^andsbek, Germany,
writes that in the opening paragraph
of his notes on lily of the valley, pub-
lished May 31, a stenographic error made
him advise the use of the Berlin early-
forcing pips for cold storage purposes,
although the article made clear that
the opposite was his intention.

With the canners of peas the situation
is said to be getting serious. A great
deal now depends upon the Wisconsin
pack, as the south was very short; New
York state packers will deliver only
sixty to seventy-five per cent of the or-
ders, and the Michigan output is repprt-
ed to be short. Buyers are showing
anxiety to sectire additional supplies.

C. S. Burgre. G. B. McVay.

The Vice-Presidents of the American Seed Trade Association.

The Cox Seed Co., San Francisco, has
leased a store on Market street, near
California, for a term of years.

A REPORT just at hand from a Can-
adian pea growing station states that
much damage to the pea crop has been
caused by recent severe rains.

The situation on onion sets remains
unchanged. The rains at the end of last
week, which fell copiously over the
whole of the Chicago section, came too
late to give any material increase in the
product, and it is a question whether it
did not do some harm. A shortage com-
pared with last year's crop at Louisville
and Indianapolis, with no increase any-
where else, means a whole lot to the
grower who has not already disposed of
what he will harvest.

Eeports in general show normal con-
ditions all along the line. Peas are
doing well, Alaska and other standard
earlies being well advanced. Wonder
and other dwarf sorts give promise of
fair crops. Telephone and most of the
main crop sorts are making a good show
of vine and in many cases setting pods.
Beans look promising. The wax sorts
are doing better than common thus far.
Green-podded sorts are pushing along.
Valentines and stringless seem to be do-
ing all that is expected of them. The
Michigan vine crops look seasonable and
there are no adverse reports from the
plantings of other varieties of garden
seeds in that section.

THE VICE-PRESIDENTS.

G. B. McVay.

G. B. McVay, first vice-president of
the American Seed Trade Association,
was raised on a farm in Texas, and edu-
cated in the public schools and university
of that state. He was married in 1890,

at the age of 20 years, and removed
to Birmingham, Ala., where he now lives
with a family of five children. In 1891
he secured a position with Amzi Godden,
then a prominent retail druggist at
Birmingham, as prescription clerk. Five
years later the business was incorporated
as the Amzi Godden Co., and he was
taken in the company as secretary. In
the meantime the company was pushing
the seed business as a side line, having
issued its first catalogue in 1893. A
short time after, the company sold out
its retail drug stores and engaged in
the wholesale drug business, and opened
up an exclusive seed business in an-
other building. The company sold out
the wholesale drug business in 1900,
and since then its interests have been
exclusively in the seed business. August
1, 1905, the company was reorganized,
under the name of Amzi Godden Seed
Co., with paid-in capital of $40,000.

Mr. McVay is president of the com-
pany. He is by profession a chemist and
pharmacist, and at one time was presi-

dent of the Alabama Pharmaceutical
Association. Mr. McVay is also in-
terested in the manufacture of fertiliz-
ers, being a director in tlie Jefferson
Fertilizer Co.

C. S. Burge.

C. S. Burge, the second vice-president
of the association, has been identified
with the seed business from early youth.
Mr. Burge was born in Maumee, Ohio,
November 24, 1868. In March, 1882, he
removed to Toledo, and two years later,
when 16 years of age, he became an
employee of S. W. Flower, who was en-
gaged in the seed business. Mr. Burge
later, in 1892, became active manager of
the business, in which capacity he has
continued until the present. He is now
a partner in the firm of S. W. Flower
& Co., wholesale field seed merchants.
He has active control of the business,
although Mr. Flower still holds an in-
terest.

Mr. Burge is first vice-president of the
Dollar Savings Bank & Trust Co., and

EUROPEAN SEED NOTES.

The recent dry weather throughout
England has considerably affected the
length of the pea haulm, and judging by
the short appearance of the straw, one
Avould suppose the crop to be light, but
as far as I can at present see the crops
•of garden peas generally are exception-
ally well podded, and if nothing happens
between now and harvest to upset the
calculations, the pea crop will be an aver-
age one.

Beans are very poor, the straw being
quite too short to make a full crop in
most instances. Mangels and beets are
looking none too well, either in England
or in any other district of Europe. Beets
especially are looking bad all over Eu-
rope and a short crop is expected, Swede
crops in England will probably be heavy,
although turnips and most of the bras-
sica tribe appear to be rather poor.

Onions are in a rather poor way all
over Europe and especially does this
apply to Italy and southern cultivations.
It is, however, astonishing what an im-
provement the last few weeks of sum-
mer weather have made to all seed crops.
In many cases where light crops were
oxpccted, the growths have so wonder-
fully improved that a full crop is now
expected.

The lifting all over the bulb fields of
Holland is now in full swing. The tulips
are turning out a poor crop and some
failures may be expected in next season 's

NOTES FROM HOLLAND.

Now that the general crop^of tulips
may be said to have been lifted, it ap-
pears that with few exceptions the crop is
a decide<lly short one. Those fields that
did not suffer in May from the so-called
l>light in the foliage, have proved to
j)roduce a very superior crop to the places
that did suffer so much during May. At
present it is still doubtful what really
causes this blight in the foliage, but that
it spreads with great rapidity wherever
it makes its appearance, and, in conse-
quence, affects the growth of the foliage,
and the more or less satisfactory crop
of the tulips, is without doubt. One of
the largest growers is at present engaged
in making minute and extensive trials in

this respect, and we may shortly expect
to see the publication of the results of
these trials in the trade papers. The
many complaints that have been heard
lately from lx)th England and Germany
in regard to bedding tulips, partly failing
to come, or only making a weakly and
unsatisfactory growth, go to show that
this point should receive a more careful
investigation as to the real cause on
both sides of the channel.

partially lifted, has not given any cause
for complaint, but as the main crop of
salable bulbs will not be out of the
ground until the middle of July, nothing
definite can yet be said. It is, however,
very likely that the crocus crop will be
a poor one and that quantities on hand
will be sold out early in the season. Nar-
cissi and irises are all looking well and
promise to give a fine crop, but it should
not be overlooked that, owing to the pre-
vailing low prices, the stocks of these are
not so large as they used to be, and
should there be anything u^e a fair de-
mand there will not be any surplus, as
was the case during the last two seasons.
The cleaning and curing of all these
millions of bulbs is now requiring the
help of many hundreds of hands, and if
the present dry and warm weather will
only continue, this process may be expect-
ed to be finished within two or three
weeks. — Horticultural Trade Journal.

RUST-RESISTING CANTALOUPES.

In a recent bulletin of the Colorado
Experiment Station P. H. Blinn reports
the discovery by a local grower of a
rust-resisting cantaloupe which promises
to be of immense value to the Eocky
Tord cantaloupe industry. In this case
seed of the Bocky Ford variety
was purchased from five different
seedsmen. They were planted and culti-
vated under similar conditions. When
rust attacked the field just before the
melons began to ripen, it developed rap-
idly and soon destroyed all the vines ex-
cept those grown from the seed of one
seedsman. Many of the hills from this
strain of Rocky Ford seed remained
green throughout the season and pro-
duced a good crop of melons. Further
observations in the muskmelon fields of
that neighborhood also showed that
wherever this strain of Rocky Ford seed
had been used many hills were unaffected
with rust, while witli otlx'r .strains of
seed of the same varictv the vines were
all dead.

Mr. Blinn selected a quantity of seed
from the rust-resistant hills and planted
them in comparison with ordinary seed.
"On the rust-resisting hills the melons
were hidden under a healthy growth of
vines, and were large, solidly netted,
with thick, firm flesh, small seed cavity
completely filled with seed. On the
rusted hills the plants were almost de-

void of leaves and the small melons
were prematurely ripe, with thin, watery
flesh, large, open seed cavity, and prac-
tically of no market value."

In tracing back the history of this
strain, of seed it was found that some
years before a seedsman had saved the
first lot from a single healthy melon
taken from a field of rusted vines. It
had therefore been developed by the
simple process of saving seed from the
best melons produced by plants which
•withstood attacks of rust when sur-
rounding plants were destroyed by this
<iisease. The point to be emphasized is
that improvements in varieties nearly
always trace back to individual plants.

RUST ON BRASSICAS.

One of the British Board of Agricul-
ture leaflets deals with the white rust
that attacks the cabbage family. The
weed shepherd 's purse is said to be
the most prevalent cause of the spread
of this disease. This weed appears to
flourisli and is quite happj' when harbor-
ing tlie fungoid. Years ago I used to
notice crops of the cabbage family and
also turnip and others of the like kind
badly attacked, and in nearly all cases
I remoniljer the ground was thickly cov-
ered with shepherd 's purse. At that
time we used to thiuk the disease simply
spread to the weed from the crop, never
once til inking the weed was the main
and primary subject of attack. As with
most other fungous diseases, there does
not ai)pear to be any remedy except
rooting up and burning the plants af-
fected. No matter at what stage of
growth they may be in, the trouble may
easily be detected, as it forms whitish
fluffy swellings on leaf and stem, often
drawing the stalks and stems up into
various contortions. When shaken in
the slightest, the powdery mass will float
in tne air like fine flour. B. J.

THE BARTELDES BUILDING.

The architects' drawing of the pro-

is printed on the real estate page of
the Denver I'ost with the following com-
ment :

"One of the most significant inci-
dents in the improvement of the track-
age district of Denver is the building
of tlie seed warehouse of Barteldes &
Co., on the southeast corner of Sixteenth
and Wynkoop streets, at a cost of
$50,000, work on which already has been
started. The building will be .50x125
feet in extent, with five stories and base-
ment. The structure will be the heaviest
in Denver, each floor being calculated
to carry a pressure of 600 pounds to
the square foot". Mill construction will
be used throughout. The offices will be
on the second floor, connected by bridge
with the Sixteenth street viaduct. The
exterior will be of dark red pressed
"brick, with rod stone trimmings. The
tuilding will be completed September 1. "

ELMSFORD, N. Y.

A new range of glass in course of
erection here is for Scott Bros., the firm
being composed of the well-known and
capable "William and James T. Scott.
They are erecting a modern range of
greenhouses, and will make a specialty
of grafted roses, up-to-date carnations,
gardenias and fine foliage plants, also
handling a general line of bedding and
other plants. Their nursery contains
thirty acres of good land and will be
gradually stocked with fine evergreen
and deciduous trees, and they will also
grow an up-to-date collection of herba-
ceous plants.

William Scott has been superintendent
on the Eastman estate at Tarrytown for
the past twelve years, and the stock he
has grown has received high honors on
the exhibition table. He will devote the
whole of his time to the growing depart-
ment.

James T. Scott has been employed for
the past two and a half years as travel-
ing salesman by the F. B. Pierson Co.,
Tarrytown, and in the landscape depart-
ment, and will continue in the same lines.
It is a good team and one likely to make
a conspicuous success.

DENVER.

State of Trade.

The regular summer dullness is now
on, although there has not been much
complaint as yet. In fact, last week all
the stores reported a fairly good busi-
ness in the cut flower line. General busi-
ness being good in Denver, the florists
come in for their share. The Elks' hold-
ing their convention here has caused
much money to be spent for decorations.
The city has taken on a gala appearance.

The Grand Army decorations last year
were elaborate, but they do not com-
pare with what are now up. There are
many prizes given for store and resi-
dence decorations, the flower stores
working hard for some of them, and
some of their artists helping out other
lines.

Stock is coming in fairly well. Many
roses have a parched foliage and are
mildewed. This is particularly true of
Bride and Maid, as some fine Chatenay
are seen. Beauties still are fine with
some growers and sell well.

Carnations, while abundant, are poor,
causing a drop in prices. Some good
Lawson and Enchantress are seen, white
perhaps being the poorest.

Sweet peas are now coming in quan-
tities and not many have gone into the
waste bag. The ruling price for first-
class stock is 25 cents per hundred.
Other outdoor flowers, such as daisies.

Various Notes.

One of the most fashionable weddings
which ever took place in Denver was
the Hughes-Morris ceremony, July 14.
The chapter-house of St. John's cathe-
dral was never more elaborately decor-
ated. It was like a garden. At i»ter-
vals down the center aisle were bay
trees. Tied at the ends of the pews and
on the altar were clusters of tiger lilies.*
The posts, the chancel and the choir
were wound and festooned with ropes of
evergreens, and quantities of ferns and
palms were used. The bride's bouquet
was of valley and white orchids. The
reception which followed was held on
tbe beautiful grounds which surround
the Hughes residence. Bay trees and
palms were added to the shrubs out-
doors. The veranda resembled a tropi-
cal garden. Quantities of asparagus were
used in the house. As the bridal couple
departed, they were showered with quan-
tities of rose leaves, which were used
instead of rice. Their private car had
been elaborately decorated with flow-
ers and looked like a rose garden. The
work was by B. E. Gillis, of the Park
Floral Co.

All the large stores are closing at
6:30 p. m. during July and August, and
at noon on Sunday.

We expect to see several members of
the craft here this week, as there are
numbers coming from the west who are
Elks. E. S. K.

Hail Breaks Glass.

A severe hail storm visited this city
July 12, and did a great deal of damage
to vegetation in its path, all gardens be-
ing stripped. A. Wiegand & Sons'
greenhouses were strictly in it, and paid
the penalty. Fortunately this firm is
insured against hail. Besides the loss in
glass a great many plants were badly
cut up, including a fine lot of 200
rubber plants. The greenhouse at the
■water works is a complete wreck, also
the small park maintained by the com-
pany. Besides this storm, this section
has had many good showers, that have
kept all field stock in fine growing con-
dition.

Various Notes.

Tom Hart, the veteran grower, is go-
ing to remodel his place this summer,
and will add more glass. He expects to
heat with flues.

John Hartje is about to sell his prop-
erty on Illinois street, and will move
his houses to a tract of land he owns
west of the city.

The usual summer slump is here, not
much being done except funeral work.
All kinds of outdoor stock can be had
in any quantity wanted.

Ed. J. Brown, of Shelbyville, is able
to be around again. He took a course
of treatment at West Baden, that did
him much good.

The city is going to erect a palm house
at Riverside park in the near future,
the start of a botanic garden. S.

Old Orchard, Me. — Mr. and Mrs.
George A. Kuhl, Pekin, 111., are here,
at the Ocean House, for a fortnight's

The Market.

As is to be expected, buyiuess is at
a standstill; even in funeral work there
is very little doing. Stock is mostly
poor, roses and carnations in particular.
Sweet peas are good.

Variotu Notes.

Thanks to the weather man, the club
had a beautiful day for the annual out-
ing July 10, at Belle Isle park. No
one was working but William Brown,
who as chairman of the entertainment
committee was kept busy. He deserves
a lot of thanks, for the outing will long
be remembered, as all participants had
a most enjoyable time.

S. S. Skidelsky, of Philadelphia, was a
recent visitor among the trade here.

The Market.

Business contimies about the same as
last week; taking all of the week
through, it is holding out pretty well
for this time of year. The short supply
of stock is one of the main reasons why
trade is not better. The demand is
good, and with a supply of stock at all
adequate to meet it, business would be
a great deal better. But as stock la
always scarce at this season of the year
y>e have no complaint coming.

White flowers are in the heaviest de-
niand, and they are sold out long be-

ness is over there is nothing worth hav-
ing in any of the commission houses.
White roses and carnations are all
ordered before they come in. Sweet
peas are selling first-class. Gladioli are
doing nicely. Lilies are not equal to
the demand and the price is held up to
the top notch on them. Candytuft, fever-
few and sweet alyssum are selling out
well. Green goods are also in for a
good share of the demand.

We are having a great deal of rain
this summer, and in consequence outdoor
flowers and plants are in fine condition.
The bedding all through the suburbs is
looking first-class, and the lawns are
in great shape. Carnations in the field
had a very good season. The greater
number of growers in this locality are
about through housing their carnations.

Variotu Notes.

A meeting of the Florists' Society
was held in the club-room Saturday even-
ing. A report from the picnic com-
mittee showed everything to be in first-
class shape. All arrangements have
been made and a great time is assured
all who go. The committee has been
greatly encouraged by the tickets that
are being sold, which indicate a very
good attendance. A program has been
issued, and judging from the number
of events that will take place, every
minute of the time from morning till
night will be taken up. The committee
on transportation to*t^ S. A. F. con-
vention reported that the C. H. & D.
had been selected as the official route.
The Cincinnati party will leave Tues-
day, August 21, at 8:15 a. m. The rate
will be $2.20 for the round trip.
Tickets will be good returning at any
time. Those of the party who will be
obliged to return the same day can do
so, leaving Dayton at 8:35 p. m. Those
who want any further information can
obtain it by addressing the writer at
113 East Third street, Cincinnati.

PACIFIC COAST.

San Diego, Cal. — The Ford Tropical
Nursery is no longer in business at this
place. Mark the name off your mailing
lists.

Santa Cruz, Cal. — W. E. King re-
ports local trade as good as ever, but
trade with San Francisco is gone for the
time being.

PORTLAND, ORE.

There has not been much doing here
this month so far, and our chief occupa-
tion at present is trying to keep cool.
The hottest wave that has struck Oregon
in several years blew in on the Fourth,
and is killing business, flowers and
everything. We had a good June, plenty
of wedding work and school commence-
ment exercises.

Harry Millatt is going to the conven-
tion, and will leave here the second week
in August for the far east. H. J. M.

NURSERYMEN MEET.

The Pacific Coast Association of Nur-
serymen held a well attended and en-
thusiastic meeting at Tacoma July 11
to 13. Officers were elected as follows:

President, F. W. Powers, Chico, Cal.;
vice-presidents, "W. D. Ingalls, North
Yakima; C. W. Howard, Riverside, Cal.;
C. F. Lansing, Oregon City; M. J.
Henry, Vancouver, B. C. ; C. P. Hartley,
Caldwell, Idaho; P. A. Dix, Salt Lake
City; secretary-treasurer, C. A. Tonne-
son, Tacoma. The following committee
was appointed on adjustment of dif-
ficulties: S. A. Miller, Milton, Ore.;
W. D. Ingalls, North Yakima; H. A.
Lewis, Portland.

C. N. Young read a paper on "Beau-
tifying the Home." M. McDonald, of
Salem, Ore., talked on the growth of
English walnuts in Oregon and Wash-
ington. A. Brownell, of Albany, Ore.,
made an address on ' ' Insect Pests and
Their Eelation to the Nurserymen and
Orchardists. " A talk by W. S. Thorn-
ber, of the state experimental school at
Pullman, on "Co-operative Work of
Nurseries and Experiment Stations"
produced a long discussion, finally
eliciting a consensus of opinion of the
delegates that this state is urgently in
need of two experimental stations, owing
to the great difference in climatic condi-
tions of eastern and western Washing-
ton. J. G. Hopkins read a paper on
" Hose Growing."

North Yakima and Salem, Ore., were
bidders for the next convention of the
association, the delegates finally deciding
to meet next July at the Oregon capital.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

There is very little difference in the
aspect of business- at this time and that
of July, one year ago. We have only
about one quarter the number of retail
stores, and they handle the business for
about half our customary population.
The weather has turned very warm again,
an»» according to the predictions of the
weather prophet we may expect consider-
ably more of the same thing. There is
considerable demand for good white
stock of all kinds. Bride roses and
fancy white carnations are being

handled in good quantities. For other
kinds of stock there is little demand.
Shipments to the country have ceased
almost entirely. Occasional demands for
funeral flowers or designs keep that
portion of the trade alive.

A great many of San Francisco's
wealthy inhabitants are at the various
summer resorts or the seashore, and as
a consequence there is almost nothing
doing socially. The month of June was
fully up to the mark on the score of
weddings, and although elaborate func-
tions were hardly the rule, quite a large
quantity of good stock was constantly
used.

In Oakland and Alameda normal condi-
tions prevail. All the retailers report
fair business for the month, with pros-
pects for a good fall trade.

Variotu Notes.

H. Otsupo has purchased three acres
of land in Elmhurst, and will improve
the property jn the near future. He
will erect three houses for carnations
and two for roses.

Alex. Frey, until recently employed
by Shibeley, the florist, has removed to
Oakland.

H. Hayashi, of Alameda, has built an
asparagus house on his Elmhurst prop-
erty, 25x100 feet in size.

John Young, of the Dwight-Way
Nursery, Berkeley, will take a trip to
southern California in a few days. He
expects to be gone two months.

The Cox Seed Co. has leased a store
on Market street, near California, for
a term of years. They expect to be
ready for business about the first of
August.

PACIFIC COAST ROSES.

I have made several tours among our
principal rose growers, and from indica-
tions there will be but a small percentage
of the usual crop to be offered to the
public for the coming winter. There has
been such a poor demand for this flower
for the last three months that at least
fifty per cent of the houses have been
allowed to dry out four months ahead
of the usual time. There seems to be

show colpr, and will be in perfection during July and August, when they are in great

increasing demand for them from year to year. They can be shipped anywhere

and are discontinuing the use of small
plants on theii own roots.

I noticed a house of Beauties in the
neighborhood of Burlingame that was
superior to the majority of houses in this
vicinity. The plants were budded low
on wild stock, so low in fact that when
planted the point of connection was at
least two inches below the surface of the
soil of the bench, although that was
only six inches deep. As a consequence,
from the union innumerable fibrous roots
had spread out, and the plants have an
unusually thrifty appearance, much dif-
ferent from that usually seen, where the
wild stock extends several inches above
the soil of the bed.

Queen of Edgely and Golden Gate
seem to have been entirely discarded
here among the rose growers. The first
mentioned variety did not appear to
meet with popular favor in color, and the
latter sort has been tried only in a few
places, with but slight success. It is
very evident that some sorts do not do
so well under glass in California as they
do farther eastward. G.

little inclination among rose growers to
replant anything this season. This is
not true with all the wholesalers, but it
shows the trend of the feelings regarding
how much expense would be justifiable
under the conditions existing. Whether
it is a wise proposition or not to make
an effort to get results from old stock
will be seen later on. It is possible that
there will be but a medium demand this
winter, in which case it will make little
difference. Notwitnstanding the way a
great portion of the rose stock has been
handled, it looks very well for the sea-
son, and when the benches are worked
over and plenty of moisture applied, an
abundance of stock should immediately
result.

It is certain there will be no excess of
American Beauties, as this variety is
greatly in the minority. Brides and
Maids still are the most popular, with

Kaiserin Augusta Victoria and Testout
second. In some localities Liberty is
extensively planted, while Meteor and
Siebrecht I find in only a few places.
Ivory seems not to be in much favor
here. The growers complain that it has
made poor stems in most instances.
From my own observations I think the
fault has been entirely with the quality
of the stock planted. Everything I have
seen here has been grown on small,
weak plants, and the growers have drawn
too close a comparison between it and
Bride or Kaiserin Augusta Victoria,
which in a majority of cases were grown
on big, heavy plants. Mme. A. Chatenay
has, apparently for the same reason, been
discarded by several growers.

Regarding the quality of stock planted
I find the growers are inclined more
than ever to plant heavy, field-grown,
budded stock, when such is to be found,

ORffiNTAL POPPIES.

These gorgeous flowers are now con-
tributing their full share to the at-
tractions of herbaceous borders in which
they are adequately represented. As
the result of selective culture, the range
of color has been considerably increased,
and the flowers improved in form, and
increased in substance and size. One of
the most noteworthy of the varieties is
Mephistopheles, which has immense
flowers of a brilliant scarlet hue. The
petals are exceptionally stout, and
market at the base with a well defined,
black blotch. The blooms should, if cut,
be taken in the bud state, and on being
put in water will expand in the most
perfect manner. Flowers that are cut
when more or less expanded and shipped
invariably shed their petals soon after
they are unpacked. — Gardeners' Maga-
zine.

state that reports as to the damage to
stock at their nursery, as a result of the
hail of June 10, were much exaggerated.
Only a few blocks of stock will have to
be cut down.

Emery Albertson, as traffic manager
for the American Association of
Nurserymen, chairman of its executive
committee and its transportation com-
mittee, should be in his element for the
next eleven months.

The Georgia peach crop is moving
and gives good satisfaction. With few
exceptions the crop is as large as the
trees could carry for best results, and
quality is excellent, which insures satis-
factory prices.

The Bulletin of the American Asso-

If there is any one thing more than
another which will facilitate interstate

of some sort of uniformity in state in-
spection laws and their application. The
adoption of a uniform tag for interstate

annual picnic of the employees of the
Clinton Falls Nursery Co. took place
July 9, at Mineral Springs park. There
were 134 in the picnic crowd, including
the employees and their families, and the
<lay was pleasantly spent in sports of
various kinds.

Dropping the word "wholesale" from
the title of the Western Association of
Nurserymen, and the changes in policy
which it implied, have had the desired re-
sult of adding considerably to the mem-
bership, and a further accretion is ex-
pected at the annual meeting at Kansas
Citv in December.

The Prudential Nursery Co., 0. A.
Krill, treasurer and manager, is a not
widely known but growing concern at
Kalamazoo, Mich.

The season has been a dry one in the
western New York district, especially
early, but stock is making fair growth,
although transplanted stock made a late
start.

PEONY LADY DUFF.

In reply to the note of E. J. Shaylor
in the Keview of June 21, the peony

Lady Alexandra Duflf, which is, as your
readers are aware, one of the very finest
peonies that has ever been sent out, was
raised, and at the time of writing can be
seen flowering in our nurseries, at Lang-
port, Somerset, England. If any plants
which have been received on your side
have not, as your correspondent says,
been true to name, it has, of course, been
due to a mistake; and in any case where
it is shown that the mistake has occurred
with us, it is one which we should regret
and shall be happy to put right.

CENTRALIA, ILL.

J. W. Koss is making an extensive
addition to his range of greenhouses.
The new houses will contain 12,000 feet
of glass. Mr. Eoss already has 10,000
feet of glass. He will use the new space
for growing carnations. He now has
8,500 carnations planted in beds, and
they are looking fine. One house con-
tains 2,500 roses. Trade has been good
the last year, but is now quiet. Mr.
Ross will hold one of his annual dahlia
shows September 26 and 27. The last
one was a big success.

Mr. Ross purposes to push and extend
his business, as there is a good opening
in Centralia for a wholesale firm, as
fuel is cheap and shipping facilities the
best. They use slack from a coal mine,
costing 35 cents per ton. Railroad lines
lead direct to St. Louis, Chicago, and
every city of importance in southern
Illinois.

NEW ORLEANS.

For the last few days we have had
plenty of rain, which was badly needed.
Everything looks brighter except busi-
ness, which is as dull as ever.

Taking advantage of the dull season,
the Horticultural Society had its annual
outing last week, going again to Grand
Isle. The attendance was not quite so
large as last year. Those who went on
the trip were: C. W. Eichling, J. A.
Newsham, B. M. Wichers, W. C. Wichers,
H. Kraak, Otto Warner. A. Alost, Frank
Faessel, H. L. Ellwel, F. Broker, J. H.
Menard, Paul Abele. M. M. L.

Lapel, Ind. — W. T. Barnes is building
a large addition to his greenhouse, which
will more than double the size of the
present establishment.

COLUMBUS, OHIO.

The Market.

The hottest weather of the summer
thus far has brought what little trade
there was almost to a standstill. As
for any real good stock in the market,
it is the exception; flowers are of pooi
quality. A few good Kaiseriu Augusta
Victoria and Chatenay roses cover that
line. Carnations have very little color
these days; the good old Enchantress is
about the best of them all. Some out-
door stuff of various kinds, and plenty
of green goods, make up the supply.

Florists* Club.

Our club, instead of its regular meet-
ing the first Tuesday in the month, had
a ' ' smoke talk. ' ' The committee on
entertainment, consisting of Messrs. Mc-
Kellar, Bauman, and Reichart, provided
some very appetizing refreshments as
well. The attendance was large, and the
evening was most enjoyable. The two
topics of informal discussion were the
club's picnic and the coming chrysanthe-
mum show.

The annual outing of the club last
Thursday was a grand success. As
usual, Buckeye lake was selected by
the committee, and a special electric car
was engaged for the occasion. The
members and their families to almost an
even hundred went, and all had a great
day 's fun. It was an old-fashioned
basket picnic. You should have seen
John Brust catch fish and McKellar play
ball. Prizes for the sports of the day
were awarded as follows: Boys' race,
Herman Quecke; girls' race, Celia
Oestreicher; sack race, I. D. Siebert first,
A. M. Hills second; ladies' race, Mrs.
Galbreth first. Miss Hoyeler second;
three-legged race, Depray and Stephens
first. Hills and Bauman second; besides
these events there were boating, base-
ball and music. The committee which ar-
ranged it all was composed of Messrs.
McKellar, Curry, Bauman, Eeichart, and
Metzmeier; they deserve much credit, as
the whole affair was an unqualified suc-
cess.

Various Notes.

Samuel Graff, of Graff Bros., is
spending a two weeks' vacation in Chi-
cago.

The city has appropriated for the care
of Franklin park the coming year
$5,500, and for Goodale park $5,000;
while these amounts are $2,000 and
$1,500, respectively, more than last year,
they are very far short of what should
be given to keep these grounds in pre-
sentable condition.

W. J. Williams is on his vacation.
Mr. Williams is in charge of the cut
flower department of the Livingston
Seed Co. Zero.

PARIS GREEN FOR THRIPS.

I recently heard that some growers
use Paris green and sugar in a solution
of water i'or thrips. Will you kindly
give me the proportions of this formula
and the best way to apply it? Any other
information on the destruction of this
troublesome little insect will be thank-
fully received. L. M.

I had not heard of the use of a solu-
tipn of Paris green for these trouble-
some insects. Thrips are found deep
among the close-fitting petals of roses,
and unless you could saturate every petal
it would not be effective. Eed pepper,
often called Cayenne pepper, is a more
convenient remedy for thrips. Heat
some common bricks red hot and dis-
tribute them around your house. AVe
found four bricks in a house 21x150
did the business all right. As soon as
you iiave the hot bricks in place on
your paths, put a tablespoonful of the
pepper on each brick. You need not
stay in the house to witness the spiders
expire. You can rest assured that they
will be troubled with such a violent
attack of sneezing that they will be glad
to pass away in peace. Procure your
pej)pcr from some source where it will be
fresh, for if old it loses its strength.

Greenhouse Beating,

FOR FIVE HOUSES.

1 have put up five houses. One is
211/2x50 feet; the other four are
13^x50. They run north and south, and
a shed extends the whole length of the
north end. The large house has 4-foot
walls; the others 6-foot. All have
10-foot ridges. Will you please tell me
how large a boiler 1 need, and how
many and what size pipes, using hot
water? J. K. H.

It would not be wise to install a hot-
water heater with a rated capacity of
less than 2,000 square feet of radiation.
The house 21%x50 feet can be heated
by a riser and ten 2-inch returns, and
each of the houses 131^x50 feet by a
riser and seven 2-inch returns. A 2-inch
riser will be ample ia each case. A
little more radiation should be placed
along the exposed sides than through the
middle, particularly in the outside
houses. L. C. C.

HEATING TWO HOUSES.

How many lines of 1-inch and 2-inch
pipe are required to keep the tempera-
ture to 65 degrees in zero weather, or
10 degrees lower, in two houses, each
24x186, built together, each sixteen feet
to the ridge? What size of boiler do
I need, using hot water? S. J. M.

I do not think it would be wise to
attempt to heat these houses with hot
water and use the size of pipe you
suggest, i. e., 1-inch and 2-inch. In fact,
I believe it will be more economical for
a plant of this size to install a steam
rather than a hot water plant. If a
night fireman is kept, install a horizontal
tubular .boiler with sufficient capacity
to care for 4,000 square feet of radia-
tion. If hot water is to be used, get
a boiler rated to carry about 5,000
square feet of radiation. If steam is
employed, a 3-inch flow through each
house and thirteen 1 14 -inch returns will
be needed. If hot water is used, a
4-inch supply and twelve 2-inch returns
will be required for each house.

BOILER AND CHIMNEY.

I can buy a second-hand, cast-iron,

inches long, fire-box 26x50. I believe the
whole boiler is five and a half feet high.
The plumber says it is rated at 3,500
feet, 4-inch pipe. Now will you tell me
approximately how much I could heat

Our Customers Talk For Us*

CiiitisT MuNO, Evanston, 111.

* We have had four of your boilers. The first gave us thir-
teen years' service, the second one eleven years, and the other
two were put in in the last two seasons.

"We uted the first two hollers nine years before we had to
put in new tiues. We have not used any other boilers, but our
Leigbbors have other makes, and the life of their boilers is from
three to four years shorter. than ours.

"We are satisfied with the boilers in every possible way.'

Gkant Newport, Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

"I bouRht a No. 2 boiler In 1902. Takes care of 7.000 sq. ft. of
glass; would take caie 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 December 29, 1904, and X lost
all my stock In consequence- I have now two No. 2 Kroe-

prevent too hot a nre. Still, I used in
tills last winter, a comparatively miltl
one, considerably more coal than I did
a year ago, seventy-five tons for one
liouse 36x80. Last year I used about
fifteen tons less and the winter was much
harder. 1 think I ought to have either
a narrower or higher chimney. Please
instruct me about this. J. L.

The boiler in question, if capable of
supplying 3,500 feet of 4-inch pipe,
will be ample to care for the house
2(5x80 fe«t, and two houses, each 18x80.
The three houses would require only
about 2,000 feet of 4-inch pipe to heat
them. From what you say of the chim-
ney I judge it is too short; it can be
raised either by a steel or brick ex-
tension. It would also be well to pro-
vide a good damper for the pipe from
the boiler to the chimney to overcome
too heavy a draft during wind storms.

L. C. C.

PIPING FOR FOUR HOUSES.

t have four greenhouses and would
like to know how many runs of 1^4 -inch
pipe it will take for' each one. They
are: One 20x60 feet, for palms; one
20x60 feet, for carnations; one 15x60,
for geraniums; one 15x25, for carna-
tions. The temperature never gets lower
than 4 degrees below zero. E. W.

As the style of heating is not in-
dicated, I have estimated on the basis
of hot water at 180 degrees. If steam
IS used considerably less pipe will answer.
For the house 20x60 feet, for palms, a
21^-inch flow and eighteen li^-inch re-
turns will be necessary. To heat the

house 20x60 feet, to be used for carna-
tions, a 2% -inch flow and sixteen 1^-
inch returns will be required. The house
15x60 feet, for growing geraniums,
should have a 2-inch flow and fourteen
1^-inch returns, while the house 15x25
feet can be heated with a 2-inch flow
and ten l^/i-inch returns.

If steam is used, a 2-inch flow and
twelve 1^4 -inch returns will answer in
each house 20x60 feet, a 2-inch flow
and ten 1^4 -inch returns in the bouse
15x60 feet, and a 2-inch flow and ten
1^4 -inch returns in the house 15x25
feet. L. C. C.

BOILER CAPAQTY.

Will a twelve horse-power boiler, fifty
2-inch flues, heat three houses, two
11x75 and one 16x65, with hot water?
One end of one of the 75-foot houses
is banked to the eaves. I have three
3-inch openings for flow and return, and
carry a 3-inch riser to the top of each
house, to return in two 3-inch pipes
in one of the houses 11x75. The house
16x65 has one 4-inch and eight 1-inch
returns. In the other house 11x75 I have
one 4-inch and eight inch returns. Can
I connect city water pressure to the
returns near the boiler, or must I have
an expansion tank? I want 45 to 48
degrees in cold weather, in central Ohio.

J. F. S.

The length of the flues and the diam-
eter and height of the boiler shell are
not stated, and it is not clear whether
there are eight 1-inch pipes or an 8-inch
return in one of the houses 11x75. The
only point on which a definite answer
can be made is that if there are twenty-

five or thirty pounds pressure on the city
system, this will answer as well as an
elevated expansion tank, if connection
is made in the main return near the
boiler by means of a small pipe, say
%-inch. L. C. C.

BOILER AND PIPING.

Can you tell us how to pipe the fol-
lowing: One house 11x60 feet, 3-foot
sides, double boarded, with paper be-
tween boarding; one house 20x100 feet,
six feet on the back, three feet on the
south side, to the eaves, with two feet
of glass and a bank of earth to the
jjlass on each side; one house 14x75,
tiiree feet of double boarding and six-
teen inches of glass in the sides.

We are adding this year another
liouse and a propagating shed. The
former will be 31x200 feet, six feet
to eaves, two feet of 4-inch cement
and the rest glass on one side, the
other adjoining the propagating shed,
which is 5x100, with six feet of glass
in the roof.

We intend to heat with steam, and
have a horizontal boiler, rated at forty
horse-power. It has forty-seven 3-inch
tubes eleven feet long, and the head is
forty-eight inches. Is it large enough
to heat the whole plant? Our old
houses are heated with 2-inch pipe, and
we have a lot of 1-inch pipe which we
want to use in the new houses, with
the steam system. L. & W.

The boiler in question, if worked be-
tween five and ten pounds pressure,
will be suflScient to handle the houses
you now have and are building. One-
inch pipe can be used for heating with

steam, as can also 2-inch, but 114-inch
is preferable to either. If you can
avoid using the ]-inch pipe in the
200-foot house, it should be done. If
a trade can be made so as to use the
1-inch pipe in the shortest houses and
the larger pipe in the longest houses,
best results will be secured.

The house 11x60 feet should have 265
square feet of radiation; the house
20x100 feet 660 square feet; the house
14x75 feet 290 square feet; the house
32x200 feet 1440 square feet, and the
house 5x100 feet 200 square feet of
radiation. You can figure out the best
use of your pipe with the following con-
stants if you use the house requirements
I have stated. Allow 290 lineal feet
of 1-inch pipe, and 161 lineal feet of
2-inch pipe, for each 100 square feet
of radiation in the houses. L. C. C.

STORE AND CONSERVATORY.

We wish to heat a conservatory 20x50,
also a store 20x60, with hot water. How
much pipe will it take to keep up a
temperature of 60 degrees, and how
should it be arranged? Our coldest
weather is zero. J. W. D.

If j-ou wish to use radiators in the
store, an aggregate surface of 360 square
feet will do the work; if you wish to use
coils, 825 feet of 1^4 -inch pipe can be
made to do the work. In the conserva-
tory 850 lineal feet of 1^-inch pipe ar-
ranged in coils, and placed on the side
wall or under the benches, if benches are
used, will provide for a temperature
of 60 degrees. L. C. C.

PIPING SEPARATED HOUSES.

I intend to build an addition to my
forcing houses this summer. When I
get it completed I will have three houses,
20x100, 11x100, and 25x100. They run
east and west, and have a boiler shed
extending across the west end of the
north two houses, with the bottom of the
boiler set four feet below the ground
line. The smoke-stack stands at the
northwest corner of the plant, and is
two and one-half bricks square. The
20-foot house is eleven feet to the ridge,
the 11-foot seven feet, and the other
will be eight. It will be about thirty-
seven feet from the middle of the north
house to the middle of the south one.
All the houses are to be used for let-
tuce, and the south one will have three
solid beds, with 2-foot walks. Will I
have to move the smoke-stack to the
middle of the west end, or can I heat

the three houses with it at the corner,
where it isf '^How must I arrange the
piping^ Md > iwbat size and number of
flows ana returns will each house need?
Can the hot y^ater pipes be carried out-
side successfully, to get from house to
house? B. A. B.

While it would balance things up a
little better to change the location of the
boiler, I believe you can successfully heat
the plant without going to this expense.
Although it is not desirable to carry
the- flow pipes out of doors, I believe
that- by carefully covering them with "a
good asbestos protection and a hood of
metal or wood, to protect the asbestos
from the weather, it will give you no
difficulty.

The piping for these houses can be
handled from a riser under the ridge,
and returns on the side walls. The first
house, 20x100 feet, will require a 3-inch
flow and ten 2-inch returns, five on each
side wall. The house 11x100 feet can be
heated by a 2 V^ -inch flow and six 2-inch
returns, three on each side wall; and the
house 25x100 feet by a 3-inch flow and
twelve 2-inch returns, six on each side
wall. To heat the second and third
houses, i. e., the houses 11x100 feet and
25x100 feet, it will be well to carry
a 4-inch pipe to the center of the 11-foot
house, and a 3-inch pipe into and
through the 25-foot house. The main
return should not be less than 3-inch
for these houses. L. C. C.

USE OF A CHECK VALVE.

In piping a house for hot water so
that the water can be drawn in severe
weather, and steam can be used to heat
the place, is it necessary to put a check-
valve on the return near the boiler?
The latter is six feet below the returns.
Is it better to connect the expansion
tank with the highest part of the system
or with the return near the boiler?

J. I. M.

If the water-level in the boiler where
steam is used will be three or four feet
below the level of the returns in the
houses, there will be no need of a check-
valve in the return. The check will
impede the circulation when hot water
is used. A swinging check might be in-
stalled, and when hot water is used the
valve disk be removed, to be replaced
when the plant is placed on a steam
basis, but with three or four feet dif-
ference in elevation, the system should
work all right without the valve. The
expansion tank should be connected with
the main return near the boiler.

L. C. C.

A COIL BOILER.

Please let me know how many feet of
2-inch pipe it will take to make a coil
boiler to heat two houses, each 11x75,
four feet to the plate, seven feet to the
ridge. There is no glass in the side
walls. The houses run north and south,
and the south ends are glass. I want
60 degrees at 10 degrees below zero out-
side. Would pipe smaller than 2-inch be
better? J. S. M.

A coil boiler constructed from 2-inch
pipe of suflScient size to care for the
radiation in two houses, each 11x75 feet,
should contain 150 . lineal feet of pipe
exposed to the action of the heated gases.
Each of these houses should carry at
least 365 square feet of radiating sur-

NORTHERN TEXAS.

A fine rain visited us last week, and
crops have been benefited by it. F^ars
were entertained of a complete failure,
but there need be no apprehension now
as to the successful maturing of crops.
Greenhouse stock in the fields is look-
ing, for the most part, at its best.
Carnations are, as far as I have gone,
the finest I have seen here, or elsewhere,
and if given the proper attention from
now on, some fine blooms will be seen
the coming season. Eoses are a little
off now, the excessive heat together with
dry weather being one of the causes.
Some fine mums are coming on, and the
prospect for excellent blooms is good.
Shrubs and herbaceous plants are doing
their best in this climate, and a new
departure in landscape work is promised
for next year. There is very little work
being done aside from funeral work, and
there will be nothing doing for at least
a couple of months. Narcissus.

OMAHA.

Trade in all the stores is quiet at
present. Boses are inclined to be
scarce, in fact Beauties are noticeable
for their absence. Carnations also are
scarce, and generally of poor quality as
compared with last year. Sweet peas
sell well, as do other outside flowers
that are being offered. Asters have
made their appearance in a very limitetl
quantity.

The summer meeting of the Ne-
braska State Horticultural Society
was held iji Hanscom park July 11 and
12, and a number of the Omaha florists
were on the program. If these horticul-
turists would only have a session at
bowling, the Omaha bunch would be
much better satisfied. B.

The Test of Construction

Of what use is first-class workmanship and the best
material if the construction of your house is antiquated
and out-of-date? There is as much in the style of
house as in the material of which it is built, and too
much stress cannot be laid on the "right kind of con-
struction."

«

There is a special liouse for each special condition
and the ordinary planing mill knows nothing of
construction details. The first step towards "right
construction" is to get our catalogue and estimate.
Write now and start right — erect houses that will en-
able you to compete with the other fellow.

didn't like sewing machines, your grandfather
thought raihoads should be suppressed, but on
they came, and came to stay. IPs the same with
the iron frame greenhouse for the florist— it has
come to stay, because it is the g-eatest producer
and most economical to run. We build sashbar
houses, but we stand strong on the iron frame

That you haven't sent for that Truss Catalog we mentioned when we
sent along that clipping of "the first house of the kind to be built in
the Chester carnation belt." Of course, we know just how busy you
are, and so as a reminder thought you might like to see how the
thing appears from the inside, looking towards that "can't be beat,"
new V-shaped gutter of ours.

Majestic Mignonette

GREENHOUSE MATURED SEED

The grandest of all Mignonettes for indoor forcing— easy to grow,
strong constitution— and throwing up a quantity of flower spikes which
grow to an immense size; the lateral shoots, too, are as large as many
Mignonettes now grown under glass.

The seed I oflfer has been saved for me by a leading grower of Mig-
nonette, who makes a specialty of this useful cut flower for the New
Tork market, from selected spikes only— under glass. Trial pkt., 30c;
half trade pkt., 60c; trade pkt. containing about 1000 seeds, $1.00.

MISCELLANEOUS
SEASONABLE HINTS.

Migoonetlc.

Those who want to cut good mignon-
ette should not delay in sowing the
seed. As is well known, the mignonette
is a difficult plant to transplant, and
if the soil drops off the roots the little
plants are a long time in making a
start. A very successful grower of
mignonette sows the seed in 3-inch pots,
;i tew seeds in three little groups in
cacli pot, so that they can be divided
without losing the soil from the roots
when transplanting to the bench. It is
safer, hoMever, to sow a pinch of seed
(111 the bench or bea where they are to
lemaiu and flower. If you want strong,
stout spikes, then one foot each way
is not too much room to give the plants.
A dozen plants may come up where you
sowed your pinch of seed, and will not
harm anything till the little seedlings
are an inch high; then you must pull
up all but the strongest plant.

The chief enemy of the young mig-
nonette plants is the larva? of the sul-
phur-colored cabbage butterfly, which
lays its eggs in the months of August
and September. The worms or larva*
are so identically the color of the mig-
nonette foliage that it takes good eyes
to discern them, but they are easily con-
quered. As soon as you see that the
butterfly is abroad, spray your plants
lightly and then dust them with
powdered hellebore. This will produce
such cramps in the worms that they
will wish tney never had been born.

Mignonette should have the fullest
light as soon as the seed germinates,
abundance of ventilation and a tempera-
ture of 40 degrees at night in winter.
Some prefer a bench to a solid l)ed. The
bed will grow larger spikes, yet a bench
of five inches of soil will grow it well.
Most growers have their own strain, and
save their seed from year to year by
selecting plants of the best habit and
with perfect spikes. If you have not
•saved any of last spring's growth, De-
fiance and Golden Machet are both fine
forms. A rather heavy loam with a
fourth of animal manure is a good com-
post for these old favorites.

Smilax.

Don't neglect to train up your smilax
■?f '*■ Sf^'^s. Never was the old saying,

A stitch in time saves nine," more
applicable to any of our florists' opera-
tions than to "the care and cultiva-
tion of this plant. A few weeks'
neglect will cause you endless labor,
!i"d sometimes the destruction of this
oeautiful vine.

O>smo8.

I noticed that a friend who is a good
gardener took my advice and filled a
number of boxes with cosmos. They are
outdoors now, but will be removed to
the house before frost arrives. This
IS the only way we of the frigid north
^an produce this most decorative flower,
tt 18 late now to sow seed, but you may
nave some flats of seedlings left over,
^et them into boxes of convenient size

and you will bo proud of them in the
middle of October. There is no flower
more liked by people of good taste.

Azaleas.

In these steaming hot days don 't neg-
lect your azaleas and other hard-wooded
plants, that should be plunged outdoors
in the broad sun. The azaleas will now
be crowding, and while giving them more
room put on an inch of rather fresh
dairy manure. It will help greatly in
the formation of flower buds and even-
tually the flowers themselves.

Gardenias.

Gardenias planted on the benches in
June will be growing fast just now.
Shoots that are making a vigorous
growth can be pinched to produce lateral
growth. They delight in our warm sum-
mer weather, but unless frequent and
vigorous syringing is applied, they will
soon be a host for that worst of all
bugs, the mealy bug. In our common
vernacular there is an endless variety
of so-called bugs. Some you can ex-
terminate with finger and thumb; others
make only nocturnal visits; one species
has partly robbed the white man of one
of his important articles of subsistence,
and a large number live on the inside
of the cranium and cannot be reached
by cold water or kerosene emulsion.
They can only be cured by a vacation in
the bughouse, but water properly ap-
plied will keep down the horticultural
or mealy bug. Remember that while
the gardenia delights in a high tempera-
ture, it should be given the most abun-
dant ventilation when under glass.

Hydrangeas.

Should your hydrangeas intended for
flowering next spring not have had their
last shift, which should be to a 6-inch
pot, now is the time to give it. If
well supplied with water, they are mak-
ing their most vigorous growth, and will
be forming their flower buds, so they
must be kept growing unchecked for
another six weeks. A neglect of water
now would be serious.

Roguing Stock Plants.

Just now when your geraniums and
cannas are all blooming at their best,
you should walk around and see if there
are any rogues among them. In techni-
cal garden phraseology, the name rogue
is applied to plants that have not come
true to color or form. It can also be
applied to your rows or beds of stock
plants, where by accident a plant or
two of a ditferent variety is mixed in.
Much future annoyance can be saved.
The merest novice can distinguish them
now, but only an expert can separate
them when the flower is gone and the
foliage is impaired by our early frosts.
This occurred to me on seeing a plant
of Florence Vaughan canna in a bed
we thought was all Souvenir de Antoine
Crozy. It is easy now to label or tag
the few intruders.

Painting.

Possibly there is no time of year when
the plant growers' benches are so vacant
as this month and the next. There
should, with an up-to-date florist, never
bo empty benches, but our Boston ferns,
summer-gro^\n carnations and chrysan-
themums are yet small, and it is easy
to build a scaffold over them and paint
the inside of your houses. It is warm
work, to be sure, but it is well worth
the perspiration and labor involved.
Don 't expect the boys to work in a
temperature of 111 degrees with the sun
glaring through the glass in their eyes.
A movable shade of canvas easily can
be moved along as the work progresses.
A house newly painted inside is prac-
tically a new house, as regards light
and health of plants, as well as destroy-
ing the resting spores of fungi and hosts
of eggs of destructive insects. Alto-
gether it is worth far more than the
cost in material and labor.

SOUTHERN SUMMER FLOWERS.

We should be glad to have some in-
formation and suggestions regarding the
housing and growing of profitable sum-
mer stock. We are interested chiefly
from the retailer's point of view. Could
you not get expressions from some of
the successful southern growers that
would be of general help to the pro-
fession? It strikes us as a very ap-
propriate season to discuss this topic.
We have been short of good flowers since
our sweet peas gave out about four
weeks ago.

We should like to know if any one in
the south has made a success of a
summer crop of carnations and roses,
and if so, of what varieties? The de-
mand is growing so that it is necessary
to have good stuff the year around, and
shipping in from the north at this sea-
son is far from satisfactory.

How late may sweet peas be kept
Iwaring in the Gulf states? S. B. S.

S. B. S. is up against a pretty tough
proposition, as it is taken for granted
he wants roses and carnations during
the long, hot days of summer. Most of
the retailers are satisfied to make out
on balsams, zinnias and asters, but the
Horist who wishes to be up-to-date must
have carnations and roses.

Shipping in from the west is simply
out of the question. For carnations
you must have a batch of late Pros-
perity, and pinch them back until Febru-
ary. As the long summer days approach,
you must shade the house lightly, and
give lots of clear water. From the
middle of April until June you will be
rewarded with a good crop of fine, white
flowers. White is the color most needed.
Take off a good lot of Moonlight cut-
tings in November, keep, them going
until the middle of February in pots,
and then put them out in the field on
high hills as you would sweet potatoes.
They will be giving fairly good blooms
about the time that Prosperity quits,
and if kept clean of grass and frequent-
ly plowed will go on blooming until
fall. Thtips will divide the cut with
the grower, and they present the yet un-
solved problem.

Summer roses call for much time,
space and labor. One must begin
eighteen months ahead. Put a lot of
young Kaiserin and Cochet (pink) in the
field in April, and keep them clean and

growing all summer. When they have
taken a rest of about a month in the
fall, lift and pot into 5-inch or 6-inch,
keep in a cool house until February,
then give them a house to themselves,
and send them along. By the time
other roses are going off, they should bo
throwing good size canes. Watch for
pale foliage, and in case any should ap-
pear, hold up on the feeding before it
is too late. As long as they are healthy,
water them liberally, and you will be

rewarded with good blooms. Kaiserin
loves heat and lots of water at the
same time. You cannot expect the
flowers to last as they do in the winter,
but the size and foliage should be as
good.

Of course these methods are too costly
for the wholesaler, but for the retailer
who has high class local trade there is
really no other way known under our
conditions. But we are living and — 1
hope — learning. D.

SUMMER PESTS.

During the bright summer weather
greenfly, while not so- troublesome as
during the winter months, should be care-
fully looked after and kept in check.
A systematic fumigation once a week
during these months will reduce the num-
bers of the pests to such an extent that
they will be easier to manage during the
fall and winter.

Our ever present enemy, red spider,
should also share our attention, and all
nooks and comers where the syringe can-
not have full play should be thoroughly
inspected, as it is there that they con-
gregate, multiply, and, if not combated,
will soon overrun a house.

During the season when firing cannot
be resorted to, mildew is still our most
troublesome and insidious enemy, and
it is only by close attention to providing
a supply of pure, fresh air, avoiding
draughts and a judicious use of the sul-
phur blower, that we can escape having
trouble with this disease.

In order that the plants may derive
the full benefit from the supply of fresh
air, and to facilitate syringing, training
and supporting the bushes should never
be neglected.

Repairing Houses.

During the warm weather, and while
we are likely to have it comparatively
dry, is the proper time for repairing
roofs, painting, etc. A systematic and
thorough going over now will save a
deal of trouble and worry when the cold
fall rains and frosts begin. If the work
is left till September or later it cannot
be done in such an eflScient manner, as
the wood will then have absorbed too
much moisture to allow the putty or
mastica to take hold. Old English putty
with an addition of one-fifth of white
lead and linseed oil, the mixture made
thin enough to run easily from the putty
bulb, makes an excellent and lasting job.

Particular care should be taken to see
that the roofs are tight at the junction
of roof and gutter, as this is where the

cold air is most liable to pour in and
create the conditions most favorable to
the germination of mildew spores.

This class of work is tedious and if
the weather is hot, very tiresome and
trying, requiring patience and care, and
should be entrusted to none but careful
and painstaking help. It also involves
labor and expense, but if the work is
done carefully the roof will be tight and
dry for at least one season. The better
quality of cut and the satisfaction ob-
tained will amply compensate for the in-
creased outlay, as there are few condi-
tions which prove so unsatisfactory to a
rose grower as a leaky and draughty
house. RiBES.

GRUBS IN ROSE SOIL.

We are bothered with a little white
grub that we find clustered around the
roots of newly planted roses and chry-
santhemums, and although they have not
done much damage as yet, we are afraid
of the after results and the harm they
may do when they get larger. What is
the best and quickest way to get rid of
them without harming the plants?

G. C.

Without seeing the little white grubs,
it is impossible to give definite directions
for destroying them.

Most soils and manures are alive with
numerous varieties of larvae, most of
them harmless to plant life, many of
them making a respectable living by de-
vouring their neighbors, thus illustrat-
ing Dean Swift's oft quoted couplet:

The little fleas that do us tease
Have other fleas that bite 'em;

And these In turn have other fleas.
And so it goes ad infinitum.

Should these small grubs prove de-
structive to the rose roots or stems
under the surface, they can be eradicated
by using bisulphide of carbon. This is a
colorless, volatile liquid used for destroy-
ing ants, phylloxera on the roots of
grape vines and other pests that work
underground and can only be reached by
vapor. On exposure to air the liquid
evaporates and as the vapor is heavier
than air it settles rather than rises. It
is highly inflammable and great care
should be taken to keep it from fire in
any form. Special caution should be

given against smoking while the vapor
is in the house. The liquid has a dis
agreeable odor which soon disappears
when the ventilators are opened. It is
harmless to plant life.

Muriate of potash applied as a fer
tilizer has a decided insecticidal valut
against underground insects. The soii
should be well watered immediately after
applying the fertilizer. Eibes.

THE ROSE.

[A paper by M. Staucb, foreman for J. F.
Wiltox, Council Bluffs, la., read before the Ne-
braska State Horticultural Society at Omaha.
July 12, 1906.]

Throughout the vegetable kingdom
there is no genus which commands and
receives so much attention from horti
culturists as that now under considera
tion. The rose has been immortalized
from most ancient times by authors an<l
poets of all countries. It is the emblem
of youth, of love and beauty, and justly
designated the queen of flowers.

It is needless to attempt referring to
all the purposes for which roses are
well adapted; they are generally fa-
miliar in our gardens and as cut flowers
have no equal. There is more glass de-
voted to roses than to any other plant,
and I believe there is no plant whicli
brings better returns to the successful
grower than does the rose.

Propagation.

The propagation of roses may be ac-
complished in many ways; by seeds, cut-
tings, layers, suckers, sprouts, divisions,
budding and grafting, the methods most-
ly practiced being by grafting and by
cuttings.

Cuttings can be made during almost
the entire year, yet the best time to
propagate varieties which are grown for
cut flowers is from November until the
middle of April. Cuttings should only
be taken from the most healthy plants
and the wood should be well ripened.
There is quite a diversity of opinion
among growers as to blooming qualiticvS
of the so-called blind wood and blooming
wood.

It is undoubtedly the best to use tlu'
blooming wood, as it is the strongest
and best matured, yet blind wood ol
equal quality is, in my opinion, just as
good. Owing to the scarcity of that
kind of wood, "Coupled with the large
demand, it is easy to lose sight of this
very important factor and to use infc
rior wood. The result is weak and poor-
blooming pl.nnts. The cuttings should
have two to three eyes. The best plant.^
will come from so-called heel cuttings.

After the cuttings are put firmly in
the sand they must be thoroughly wa
tered. The sand must always be kep*
well watered, but as much as possibh
avoid spraying overhead. I find it best
to keep the temperature of the sand a
68 degrees, and that of the house 5t'
degrees. The temperature should no'
vary more than 2 degrees either way.

In four or five weeks the cuttings wil
have made roots from one-half to three
fourths of an inch long and should thei
be potted firmly in small pots, watere<.
well and placed on the bench close to thi
glass. During the first few days it i;
necessary to shade them through the hot
test part of the day, but as soon as roo
action is noticed, shading should be dis
pensed with.

Grafting.

From year to year the advantages oi
grafted over own-root roses are mor*
widely recognized and understood, si'

/ '^•''•:- 7';^'^ >>■■■■

July 26, 1906.

The Weekly Florists' Review^

577

that today there is hardly any large
place where grafted roses do not pre-
dominate.

The grafting is done on Manetti which
is imported from Europe, and usually
arrives by the middle of December. The
stocks should at once be unpacked and
potted or heeled in a cool place, cover-
ing about two-thirds with soil, which is
afterwards well watered. They then can
be potted as convenient, but it must be
done before the wide rootlets get too
long or the stocks commence to grow.
They are potted in as small pots as pos-
sible, placed in a temperature of 50 to
55 degrees and should get a thorough
watering. After this the spraying of
the wood two or three times a day is all
that is needed. When root action com-
mences and the buds begin to swell, they
are ready for grafting.

The grafting in itself is very simple.
Make an oblique cut about one-half to
one inch in length as close to the pot
•IS can be conveniently done, cut the
■scion to match the same, place the two
fiut surfaces together and secure them
firmly with raffia or twine. It is not
absolutely necessary that scion and stock
are of even size, but the bark of the
scion and of the stock must meet exactly
'''^ ^east on the bottom and on one side.

They are then put in an air-tight
•^ase. This case may be of any size and
v^ ^® built in various ways. We use
the center of a bench in a house, cover-
ing it with sashes raised from two to
three feet above the plants. The bench
should have a thin covering of moss,

over which is put a layer of sand. This
is well watered before the grafts are
placed in it. The grafts, after being
made, should be transferred to the case
without delay. The temperature is kept
about 75 degrees and the case kept
closed for about five days. By this time
the scion and stock will have sufficiently
calloused to permit a little air. This h.ns
to be given carefully. First give a
fraction of an inch, and gradually in-
crease, when in two or three weeks they
can stand the full air, but even then
they must be guarded from the hot
rays of the sun for a week or ten days
longer, after which they can be treated
like other plants.

Care of Young Stcck.

The treatment of own-rcot and graf-
ted plants is alike, except Ihat the graf-
ted plants should get the support of
cither wires or canes to prevent their
breaking off. As soon as the pots are
filled with roots, they must be shifted
into 3-inch and from these into 4-inch
pots, if such plants are desired, before
planting in the benches. During this
time the plants should never suffer from
want of water nor be kept too wet.
They must be guanled against mildew,
red spider or black spot.

The importance of taking tlie best
care of the young plants should never
be lost sight of, and only the most com-
petent man should be trusted with this
department. It is here where we lay
the foundation for our future success,
and it should be well laid.

Soil for Roses.

To grow roses .successfully a rich soil
must be provided. A good fibrous loam
of a stiff rather than light nature is the
ideal soil. Where such cannot be ob-
tained we have to accomplish the pur-
pose by a combination of soils. As a
rule, most of our large rose places are
situated so that they are within easy
reach of good soil.

The rose is a strong feeder and there
is scarcely any soil which will grow
roses up to standard without the aid of
manure. In most cases one-sixth to one-
fifth of manure safely can be added. It
should be well decomposed and thorough-
ly mixed through the soil. Bone meal is
also used extensively. I prefer to apply
this when the soil is on the benches, be-
ing then able to distribute it more evenly
through the soil with the aid of a hoe.
The bone meal may, of course, be added
at the same time the manure is, but as
we usually have unskilled labor to as-
sist us in this operation, we are apt
not to have it mixed in the right propor-
tion. I aim to use 150 to 200 pounds to
a house 25x200 feet.

Planting.

Having thus prepared our soil, filled
the benches and cleaned the house thor-
oughly of all rubbish, we are ready to
plant our roses. None but the beat
plants should be taken. We plant fif-
teen to sixteen inches apart, five rows in
a 6-foot and four in a 5-foot bed. The
soil must be pressed firmly about each

■J ^ •■'■;■■'.'■ ^.■-

plant and a shallow basin left around it.
This insures the plants being watered
without watering all the bench before
they have taken hold. It preserves the
nourishment in the soil and keeps it
from souring. This method of water-
ing should be followed till the roots
spread all through the bed.

The plants need staking and tying
soon after they are planted. This is
particularly true of the grafted plants
In tying there should always be one
or two of the strongest branches brought
reasonably close to the wire to keep the
])lant from shaking around too much or
breaking off wliile syringing. It is es-
sential that the benches be kept free
from weeds and the surface of the soil
stirred every two or three weeks to per-
mit the free penetration of air. Air
is almost as necefpary to the roots of
a rose as to its foliage.

The beat time to plant is when the
plants are well established in either 3-
inch or -i-inch pots. This may be early
in the spring or in the latter part of the

summer, as the conditions on the place
may require.

I believe in early planting, so that
the roses will become good bushes before
fall, in order to produce first-class flow-
ers in the first part of the winter. Later
])lanting than July is not to be recom-
mended where good flowers are wanted
during the winter iflonths. ■ Boses plant-
ed after that date are not usually at
their best before March or April.

During the summer mouths, in fact at
any time, the rose wants all the air
which can possibly be admitted. While
the rose should always have plenty of
moisture about the roots, it is a mistake
to keep it too wet. It brings about a
soft, rank growth which will not have
enough substance in it to produce a good
flower, and by the slightest mistreat-
ment in the fall willturn out a failure
in spite of the promising look during
the summer. Therefore it is well to
allow the beds to get very much on the
dry side at times before watering.

CARNATION NOTES.- VEST.

Distance to Plant.

While you are planting or preparing
to plant, I want to say a word about
the proper amount of space you should
give each plant. Varieties like En-
chantress, Lawson, Vesper, The Belle,
etc., should have not less than 10x12
inches. In fact, there arc fow if any
vaiieties that should have less. If your
plants are extremely large, some of the
larger growing varieties can very well
stand more than 10x12. Very often we
see growers plant small plants closer
than this, thinking that t<i give 10x12
to a small plant which fills only 5x6
inches when planted is a waste of
space. That is a mistaken idea. You
will be surprised how quickly such
plants will fill up the space, and more
if they can got it. The longer they
remain nncrowded the longer they will
remain free from disease. Tf I were
;;r()wiiig for quality alone, regardless
of what was realized in money returns,
1 should plant my plants 15x1.1 inches,
or even more if they were extremely
large, so that each plant would stand
practically alone, with several inches
of air space between it and the next
one. This alone would help the qual-
ity materially. Under the circumstances,
however, we cannot afl^ord to be so lib-
eral with space, so we must set them
as close together as possible without
cutting too much on the quality. Just
as soon as you begin to interfere with
the plant's opportunity to do its best,
then you must go carefully. Not only
is this true with the space you give
each plant, but it applies to any other
way you may want to economize. We
sometimes see growers plant so closely
that when the plants have taken hold
and the foliage has straightened out
you can hardly see the ground between

them. It seems they want to crowd
as many plants on the bench as pos-
sible. How foolish this is. The wise
grower will endeavor to fill a bench
properly with just as few plants as he
can.

Old, Tried Methods the Best.

We occasionally run across a grower
who is always working some outlandish
scheme by which he hopes to get around
some difficulty, without first giving it
due consideration. I do not wish to
say anything against any man who is
original and of an inventive turn of
mind, providing he uses proper judg-
ment. For instance, some years ago a
certain grower informed me that he
would have long stems on his Lawson
early the next season and that he would
get them by planting very closely. His
argument was that when the plants
could not grow in breadth they would
draw upward and of course lengthen
the stems. I advised him against it,

but to no avail. The next summer I
saw him again; he had had his experi-
ence, and I shall merely say he paid the
price. Now he plants the regulation
distance apart. No one realizes better
than 1 that to be really successful a
grower must be a thinking man, able
to meet conditions as they come, and
devise ways and means for overcoming
obstacles which perhaps have never be-
fore confronted any one. He must also
be able to originate new methods to
keep pace with the times. But in all
these hei must recognize certain laws of
nature, which will not be denied. That
is where experience and sound judgment
come into play. So, before you change
from the generally approved methods,
be sure you weigh carefully any change
you may contemjjlate. A. F. J. Baur.

TEMPERATURE.

I shall grow the following varieties
of carnations: Peru, Flora Hill, En-
chantress, Morning Glory, Mrs. Nelson,
Estella, Mrs. M. A. Patten, The Belle,
Harlowarden, Glacier. In what tem-
perature will they do best? In what
temperature should I grow swainsona?

K. A. M.

You will find the following tempera-
tures about the proper thing for the
varieties you expect to plant: Peru,
50 degrees; Flora Hill, 52 to 54; En-
chantress, 48 to 52; Morning Glory, 50
to 52; Mrs. E. A. Nelson, 50; Mrs.
M. A, Patten, 50 to 52; The Belle, 54;
Harlowarden, 48 to 52, and Glacier, 50
to 52 degrees. There is no such variety
as Estella. Estelle is a scarlet variety
and Stella is variegated. Both like a
temperature of 50 to 52 degrees. Swain-
sona will do nicely in your carnation
houses. It is not a bit particular as re-
gards temperature.

I shall add that much depends on the
texture of the soil you use as to what
will prove the best temperature for
your plants. For instance, if your soil
is inclined to run heavy, with much
clay in it, then you can run the tem-
perature higher than if it is light and
loose. Wherever I have marked a dou-
ble temperature you will be guided by
the texture of your soil. For instance,
with Enchantress, if your soil is clayey
and holds the moisture well, you can
run them 52 or even .54 degrees, and
they will have go.od stems and the
blooms will be largo and of good color.

CONCRETE VALLS AND BENCHES.

We are preparing to erect two houses
24x120 in connection with our range,
and I have about decided to erect con-
crete, walls, but before doing so wish
to learn your views, with regard to which
would be the best, wood or concrete. We
.should also like to have your ideas
with regard to cement benches.

C. S. Co.

I say most decidedly, build the walls
of concrete. Concrete is the building
material of the present and future. We
have heard only one adverse opinion on
this subject, that a solid concrete wall
sweats in cold weather, and moisture ac-
cumulates on the inside surface of the
wall. This can be obviated by rein-
forcing the wall with hollow bricks. You
can purchase them three inches thick
and 8x13 and perhaps larger. It will
add fifteen or twenty per cent to the
cost of the wall, but will strengthen it
as well as make it dry and warmer.
These so-called hollow bricks or tilffl are
used in all modern 8t' o'-fr-'iiie structures,
as well as for roofing ai.d partitions be-
tween stores. You will, of course, begin
using the tiles at the surface of the
ground. Below the ground in the founda-
tion of the wall they would not be
necessary. Place them as nearly as pos-
sible in the center of the wall and ver-
tically, end on end, so that there is a
continuous air space the whole height
of the wall to the plate.

In regard to benches; if for plants,
a raised bench is what you want. It

should have legs of wood and crosspieces
of 2x6 and, running leiigthwise, 2x4,
with a floor of tiles. This is not an
everlasting bench, but if you use pecky
cypress and give it a heavy ^'eoat of
£enient on your 2x6 and 2x4, it. v^ill last
many years. - - -

If the benches are for roses^ar^ carna-
tions, then I should use what may be
called a semi-solid bed. Build two little
concrete walls for the exterior of the
beds, and fill between the walls with
any refuse soil you have on the place,
or coal ashes. Make this filling solid
and flush or even with the top ; of the
wall. On this lay a floor of the. hollow
tile, with a 2x5 edging of concrete.
Here you have a bed of perfect drainage,
everlasting, and no more expensive than
2x6 plank, and if you don't grow good
roses, carnations or mums it will not be
the fault of the bed. I have had no ex-
perience with an all-cement bed or bench.

The small concrete walls for the ex-
terior of the beds can be any dimensions
you choose, but four inches at the base,
tapering to two inches at the top, and
twelve inches high, will be ample. This
height, with the S-inch tile and four or
five inches of soil, will bring your plants
to a good working height. As for the ex-
terior walls of the greenhouse, they
should not be less than six inches thick,
and eight inches would be better. This
would allow two inches of concrete on
both sides of the hollow tile. W. S.

SPOTS ON LAWNS.

What is the best course to pursue
where spots in the lawn turn brown,
the grass and clover dying and large
white grubs being found underneath?
On taking up the sod, it comes up in
sheets, showing that the matted turf
has but little connection with the soil
below, the connecting roots being eaten
off. W. C. E.

The larva; of the May beetle or June

bug are the cause of the lawns dying
out in the manner described. We have-
periodical attacks of this destructive
pest in the east, usually at intervals of
seven or eight years, and during hot,
dry weather. Last June a large part
of our lawns was ruined, and hundreds
of acres of lawns and pasture lands
in this section had to be plowed and
reseeded.

The presence of numbers of robins on
the lawns is a sure indication of the
presence of this pest. These birds are
fond of the larvse, and if a part of the
lawns affected can be turned up every
few days, the robins will devour large
numbers of them. Hand picking may
be resorted to, but it is slow and
tedious; if the area is not too great
it will pay to adopt the follow-
ing plan: We recommend the ap-
plication to the whole lawn next
spring of a fertilizer composed of 500
pounds of kainite and 200 pounds of
nitrate of soda, this amount applied to
an acre. It has been found to make
the soil distasteful to the pests.

Reseeding should be done about Sep-
tember 1. Previously give the ground
an application of air-slaked lime at the
rate of 200 pounds per acre, and rake
it in. Avoid cow manure for la^n en-
richment, as it is usually swarming with
the pest. Pulverized sheep manure or
well rotted horse manure are preferable,
or use bone or wood ashes. The attacks
of this pest are only to be feared when
lawns are suffering from drought. The
larva; then eat all grass roots away, until
the turf can be rolled up like a carpet.

FERTILIZER FOR PEONIES.

We have soil ranging from a sandy
loam to a very stiff clay, and some kin<i9
of peonies that are planted in all of our
soils show almost a week's difference in
period of blooming, while on the lighter
soils near ua it is over ten days' differ-
ence. Banking the soil around the
plants quite deeply in the fall, just be-
fore severe cold sets in, will also retard
the blooming by several days.

We cultivate often, with a cultivator,
going through just before severe freez-
ing sets in. After severe freezing we
completely cover the ground with well-
rotted manure, or manure from the
stables that has been thoroughly heated,
at the rate of about fifty to sixty tons
to the acre. The second year we use
about half that amount, and every second
year thereafter. On newly planted stock
we aim to manure heavily the spring pre-
ceding planting, cropping with potatoes
or some crop, that will be well cultivated,
thus neutralizing the manure. After
planting we cultivate late, then give a
very light application of well-rotted
manure. We never use manure freshly
worked into the soil on newly planted
peonies. It is dangerous. After peonies
are established they stand much rough
«sage.

The Best Vhite Sorts,

We append herewith the best whites.
We have a few novelties that are fine,
but as they are not obtainable this sea-
son we will not include them, but I can
say that they will cause such sorts as
Festiva maxima, etc., to fall back on the
exhibition bench, realizing, too, that that
is a very bold statement to make.

Alice de Julvecourt (Pulcherrima),
convex flowers, chamois and creamy,
lightly flushed carmine, fading nearly
white. Nearly all sent out as Pulcher-
rima are this sort.

Blushing Bride, fine, white guard, cen-
ter creamy, lemon toupillon center edgeJ
carmine.

Boadioea, magnificent, large rosy
guards flushed fleshy white, ^full center, a
few petals edged crimson.

Boule de Neige, large, full, creamy
center, a few center petals edged car-
mine.

Canari, the best even delicate canary,
fine.

Couronne d'Or, very fine white with
yellow reflection; shows stamens, center
petals heavily edged carmine.

De La Cour Verhille, large coarse
bloom, deep rosy guards, creamy white
center.

Due de Wellington, fine, sulphury
white.

Duchess de Nemours (Calot's), one
of the best florists' sorts; large white
guards, full imbricated center, sulphury
white, fades nearly pure. Diamond,
Cytlieree, Snowball, Sulfurea, Kelway's
Mrs. Green Lewis, etc., are all the same
thing, or duplicates.

Eugene Verdier, fine, large, full dou-
ble, opens a fleshy white, fading nearly
pure.

Festiva maxima, in some ways one of
the finest whites; its fault is that it is
not a keeper.

Golden Harvest, an exact reproduction
of Jeanne d'Arc; may be described as a
creamy lemon and pink, very fine, showy
sort.

La Tendresse, fine, creamy, changing to
white.

La Voluptuesse, untrue, similar to
Marie Lemoine, but much taller.

Mmc. Breon, bright rosy guards, cen-
ter rich yellowish, fading to pure white,
large brilliant crimson carpels.

Mme. Emil Galle, large soft lilac,
white center, yellowish changing to
cream, fine.

Mme. Crousse, pure white center, edged
carmine, fine.

Mme. Verneville, fine sulphury white,
full, rosy, attractive, one of the freest.

Magqifica, large rosy guards, opens
creamy, fading to pure white, showy.

Marie, pure white, suffused chamois,
fine, late.

Marie Lemoine, late, enormous white,
sulphury; reflection shows stamens, cen-
ter edged carmine, fine.

Marie Stuart, one of the best of all
peonies, blooms before officinalis sorts are
over; opens blush white, intermingled
larger petals of a rosy white fading to^
purer color; hardy; every shoot produces
a bud.

PEONY PICTURES.

The accompanying illustrations are re-
produced, not because of the merits of
the varieties, great as they are, but rather
because of the perfection of the pho-
tographs, which were made by George R.
Lawrence, at the Peterson Nursery, Chi-
cago, in early June. They serve better
than any others we have seen to show the
form and character of the flowers.

Every one knows Festiva maxima, in-
troduced by Miellez more thian half a
century ago. C. W. Ward says it is one
of the most valuable of the white section,
and is always in greater demand than any
other peony. Aa a matter of fact, al-
though it has been on the market for
fifty years, it is only within the last year
or two that it has become sufficiently
abundant that one could procure true
stock at moderate prices. It is a vigor-
ous grower, of excellent habit, on long.

Peony Delicatissima.

M. DuPont, quite similar to Boule de
Neige, fine.

Mont Blanc (Solfatare), one of the
best, large white guards, lemony center.

Paganini, bright rose guards, center
yellowish, fades lighter; one of the best
for florists' use.

Whitleyi (Queen Victoria), more
largely grown than any other 'white for
cut blooms; fleshy guards, center creamy
white; fades pure- center blotched with
carmine; one of the freest of all. We
have many whites evidently of this
parentage with little variation. They
can all be put into the same bunches, with
only technical differences.

strong stems; an early bloomer. As the
picture shows, the blooms are full double,
with broad petalage. It is snow white,
with an occasional carmine flake like a
drop of blood on the center petals. It ia
fragrant and free and Peterson says that
for many years it has been the standard
of perfection in peonies.

Delicatissima, shown in the other illus-
tration, is a large flower of delicate, clear
pink. It is an excellent market sort,
making a fine bud on a strong stem,
opening well in water, and fragrant. This
variety is a comparatively modern one,
and those who are growing Richardson's
Floral Treasure find the two so nearly
alike that many consider the names
synonyms.

TWO SMALL GREENHOUSES.

I have just built two greenhouses
9%xl6 feet. One is for roses and the
other for carnations. My object in
building them is to gain some practi-
cal experience in the growing of these
flowers before building larger houses.
I have been much interested in green-
house work for years, and have kept
in touch with operations as far as it
was possible without being actually en-
gaged in it. The houses are well shel-
tered, being built at the south side
of my house, and running south. The
west or north winds will never reach
them. The walls are three and a half
feet high and wUl be banked up to the
glass on the sides, which wUl be six-
teen inches all around. The walks are
sunk nearly a foot below the natural
surface of the ground, and I should
like to get your advice before building
benches, about which there is a great

want to get a practical knowledge of
the growihg of these as well, and don't
wish to put up a house especially for
them at present. I thought of planting
grafted Bride, Maid and Richmond, all
of which I understand require the same
temperature. What is the closest I can
plant them for best results? What size
of Spence heater will be necessary to
heat them? Please explain how to run
the pipes to best advantage. The fur-
nace will be in the cellar under my
house. I wish also to heat my kitchen
with the same furnace. It is 9x12x16
feet. The cellar floor is about three
feet below the floor of the greenhouses.
Any other advice you can give a be-
ginner (who is in it to stay) will be
appreciated. What varieties of carna-
tions would be best for a starter?

The aspect of your houses seems all
right. Protection from your coldest

diversity of opinion; and also in refer-
ence to the heating. I purpose putting
down 2x5 planks, filling with soil, on
top of these tile pipes, which will form
the bottom of the benches, and boards
1^x7 inches for the sides, inverted
sods over the tiles, and an inch of
manure, then filled up with soil. My
soil is not what I wish, but is a good,
rich garden loam, neither sand nor clay,
which has been manured heavily for the
past two years. It is three parts soil
to one of partly rotted cow manure
for the rose benches, and four parts
soil to one of manure for carnations,
which will have a liberal addition of
ground bone mixed in before putting on
the benches. Benches are six inches
from the walls, to allow for piping
behind them. Would it be better for
me to have raised benches in the car-
nation houses and grow a few violets
under the bench near the walk? I

winds is a great saving to your coal
bill. It is not quite clear to me
whether your houses are to run east
and west or north and south. The for-
mer is best, because then you have the
south slope to the sun all day, but if
you use large glass, 16x24 inches, it
will not make much difference. I do
not like the sunken paths, and would
rather make the walls one foot higher.
In case of a freshet or sudden melting
of your heavy snows, you may be trou-
bled with water. If your side walls
are not at least half glass, then the
benches as low as you are planning will
be shaded too much by the walls, and
instead of 2x5 planks I should advise
two small concrete walls ten inches
high, four inches thick at the base, and
tapering to two inches at the top, and
the space between the walls filled in
with any refuse material— soil, cinders
or clinkers. The top two inches should

be soil, for the roots of roses will go
down between the tile. Instead of
round drain tile for the bottom of the
bed use the hollow tile; it is more
convenient to shovel oflF.

The composition of your bed is all
right, although the rich garden loam
is not what roses like. A sod from a
pasture is the thing if you can possibly
get it, and it is worth trouble and ex-
pense to obtain, ^he garden loam will
do first-rate for the carnations. Tour
proportion of manure to soil ia also
correct. Let it be more decayed for
the carnations than for the roses. For
the carnations add a bushel of slaked
lime to every cubic yard of soil. Al-
though it will curtail the area of your
bench space, I would keep away from
the pipes one foot, so that you can
squeeze along between the pipe and
the bench to weed, etc. What you lose
in bench room you will make up in
health of the plants and production
of flowers.

Your selection of roses is excellent.
Ycu will have the leading varieties,
white, pink and red; and try a dozen
or two of the Killarney also. Plant
roses fifteen inches apart; carnations,
according to the size of the plants,
from eight to twelve inches apart.
Don't attempt to grow violets under
the bench. Bather make a narrow
bench across the farthest end of your
carnation house. Don't attempt in your
limited room to try too many vari-
eties of carnations. If you succeed
with two or three varieties you can
grow all. Try, above all, Lawson, En-
chantress and Lady Bountiful, and EIs-
telle for red or scarlet. That is enough
for an experiment.

The writer is not acquainted with the
Spence boiler. Put two flows and two
returns of 2-inch pipe in the rose house,
one foot above the greenhouse floor on
the side walls, and one flow and two
returns on the side wall for the carna-
tion house. Use nothing less than
2-inch pipe. Just how connections
should be made from the heater would
entail too long a story. For the pres-
ent you can easily heat your kitehen
by tapping the top of the boiler and
running a 1-inch pipe up to the kitchen,
there to connect with a radiator, and
returning with a 1-inch pipe from the
other side of the radiator, tapping into
the bottom of the boiler or into the
return pipe from the greenhouse. Put
a valve on the pipe just before it en-
ters the radiator. For some time yon
may need heat in your greenhouses,
while the kitchen may be too warm.
The fact that your cellar floor is three
feet below the ground level of the
greenhouses should give you good cir-
culation. Let the pipes rise from where
they enter the greenhouse to the far-
ther end, two inches in the sixteen feet.
Send a rough sketch of the position of
the boiler and the openings in the boiler,
and we will endeavor to help you out.

As these are experimental bouses, let
the carnation benches be raised and
made of lumber; Canadian larch is ex-
cellent for the purpose. The height
from the floor to the top of the bench
should be about thirty inches. W. S.

CHRISTMAS SWEET PEAS.

. The Origin of the Strain.

Abjbut twenty-five years ago I made
my nrst' experiments in raising sweet
peas in winter under glass. I tried all
varieties which were at that date ob-
tainable^ but could never raise a plant
which would give flowers before the lat-
ter part of April. After several years
of such experiments I came to the con-
clusion that it was impossible to get
sweet peas earlier than the time men-
tioned, from the present varieties, so I
started cross-fertilization with others,
among them the lathyrus, but the first
few years without success. I obtained
several new varieties, a few of which
were double-flowered, but I did not suc-
ceed in getting, a free-flowering plant
until I made a cross with the European
vetch, largely grown on farms in central
Europe as green fodder. About October,
1891, I sowed some of this seed which
I had hybridized with the vetch, and
the following January 1, 1892, I was
surprised to find two little plants, each
with one open flower and several buds.
The flowers were very small, color a
reddish-pink, and not of much value, the
plants growing only to a height of
twenty-four inches under glass. But I
was satisfied with this for a start, and
increased the seed all I possibly could.
I crossed and re-crossed each year, and
each new hybrid showed improvement
over the previous one, in size of flower,
color, length of stem, and in the plant
itself. The first seedling of value which
appeared was obtained from Blanche
Jwrry; it came of the same color, but
the plant was only twenty inches high,
under glass, and produced only about
tan single flowers; but after much cross-
ing and re-crossing with the parent va-
riety, I secured fine, long-stemmed, large
flowers, plants over six feet high, which
were covered with masses of bloom all
winter.

In 1897 almost every day I was able
to send to the New York market sev-
eral hundred fine blooms. This variety
is now known as the Christmas Pink,
but it is today a great improvement
over what it was in 1897. Crossing this
variety with Emily Henderson, I orig-
inated, in 1895, Miss Florence Denzer,
which is the best of all whites.

I now have sixty-four varieties in all
existing colors, from lightest salmon to
darkest pink and red, from lightest
lavender to darkest blue and purple, also
yellows and variegated. All these varie-
ties, when grown under glass, begin to
bloom when three to four feet high,
and continue flowering all winter, some-
times until June. The plants are cov-
ered with a mass of large, long-stemmed
flowers. Height of plants, eight to fif-
teen feet.

Sweet Peas in Winter.

Select the highest light houses for
sweet peas. Fill the benches, or well-
drained solid beds, with good compost,
about three parts sod and one part old
horse manure. Drop four to five seeds
about 12x20 inches apart; water thor-
oughly, keep always on the wet side and
in a steady growing condition.

White-seeded sweet peas, such as
Florence Denzer, must be started in
sand, as they seldom germinate if sown
directly in soil. Or, soak them over
night in water; next morning put them
in damp sawdust or some similar ma-
terial for two to four days until roots
about one-fourth of an inch have started.

As soon as this start has been made,
sow them in moist soil which should
stand a few days without watering.
Plant either in the benches, where they
will grow, or in pots. After the plants
start to grow, which will be in two to
three days, give them some water and in
a few days more they can be watered
just as heavily as black-seeded ones. If
the space on the benches is not ready,
sow in 4-inch or 5 -inch pots, and then
plant in benches after three or four
weeks, but be very careful with the
watering, as over-dry or pot-bound plants
will never produce good flowers.

When the plants reach a height of six
inches they should be given support, and
the best method is this: Stretch one
wire on bottom and another wire about
six feet above that, and connect with
strings, from time to time helping the
plants to climb.

Ventilation is one of the most im-
portant points in growing sweet peas

Otto Abele.

successfully. As soon as sown, all the
air possible should be allowed. The best
temperature is 45 to 50 degrees at night,
56 degrees during cloudy and 65 to 70
degrees in bright, sunny days. As soon
as coiol nights arrive, let the steam run
in two to four pipes; at the same time
the ventilators should be kept open as
long as possible, especially when tb^
first buds appear. This will prevent
the dropping of buds, esjpecially during
rainy or inclement weather.

The first insect which win appear is
the green worm, similar to the cabbage
worm. These must be picked off every
day before they become too numerous.
After several hard frosts the worms will
disappear. Greenfly is a v^y bad enemy
of sweet peas, but light fumigating or
syringing with a light solution of nico-
tine from time to time will check it
if done in time. A. C. Zvolanek.

NEW ORLEANS.

CONNEESVILLE, Ind. — Charles A. Eie-

Society Meeting.

July 20 the New Orleans Horticul-
tural Society held its twenty-second an-
nual meeting. The association is over
fifty strong, and nearly every member
was present. A few communications
were first read by the secretary, C. E.
Panter. President P. A. Chopin sent
his thanks for the present he received
from the members on the occasion of his
wedding. Charles Wise, 87 years old, was
elected a life member. The old gentle-
man, who is still healthy and active,
is much pleased with the distinction.
The committee on outing reported on
the last trip to Grand Isle. The at-
tendance was not as large as it has been
in former years, and some change will
have to be made in the future. The
finance committee showed a balance on
hand of $663. This may look good
enough, but the treasury does not seem
to improve in pToportion with the list
of members. C. B. Eichli|ig proposed
to increase the monthly dues. H. Pap-
worth said that Successful -flower shows
will bring more money into the treasury.
E. Baker was the last to speak and said
that our society is as prosperous as
any one could wish. Its membership is
increasing all the time, following stead-
ily the principle on which it was founded
over twenty years ago.

The most important business was the
election of officers. Otto Abele was
elected president, C. Louis Sieber vice-
president, John Eblen treasurer, and C.
B. Panter secretary.

The newly elected president was born
in Germany, thirty-three years ago, com-
ing to this country when but a boy.
His love for nature induced him to
learn the florist's business. After serv-
ing in several establishments, he started
in business on his own account, taking
up landscape gardening and the grow-
ing of plants while still very young, and
was successful from the start. In 1894
he formed a partnership with his
brother, Paul Abele, under the firm name
of Abele Bros. Being a man of good
judgment, high ambition and having a
perfect knowledge of the business, he
will undoubtedly direct the affairs of
the society well. He is also a member
of the German Gardeners' Qub, of the
German Singing Society and other or-
ganizations.

Louis Sieber is connected with the
Metairie Bidge Nursery, being the secre-
tary of the association. He has been
in the business for years, and was for
a long time head salesman for the late
Mr. Troshler, the veteran seedsman of
the south. His nomination was well re-
ceived.

John Eblen can be called the "old
reliable," having held the position of
treasurer for twenty-two years in suc-
cession.

C. B. Panter was nominated by ac-
clamation, which speaks enough in his

GLADIOLUS NANUS.

Immense numbers of Gladiolus Colvil-
lei, more especially ^he white form gen-
erally known as The Bride, are forced
here and in Europe annually for cutting,
but somehow the merits of the different
varieties of G. nanus are not yet fully
recognized and it is only occasionally
that a small batch is met with. This is
rather surprising when the great beauty
of this section, their ease of culture and
low price are considered. We find that
given precisely the same conditions as
G. Colvillei The Bride, some of G. nanus
come into bloom three weeks earlier,
while the latest of them come in about
the same time as the older and better
known sort. The habit is a little less
rigid and the spikes can be arranged
much more gracefully than in the case
01 the G. Colvillei varieties. The foUage
is a little heavier, of a beautiful dark
green color and the plants seem less dis-
posed to die off, as G. Colvillei often
does when forced.

We grow them in flats in four inches
of compost, treating similarly to Spanish
iris, planting fifty to seventy-five bulbs
to a bed 12x24. They are fed liberally
with liquid manure when the boxes are
well filled with roots and the latest lot
is stood outdoors about the middle of
May, thus giving a succession of flowers
until the early part of July. The flowers
keep splendidly in water and a large
vase of one distinct color will rivet any
one's attention at once; for a dinner-
table center-piece also they are excellent
to say nothing of banquet work. That
they are bound to become very popular
when better known goes without saying.

The following sorts are especially good
and as all are inexpensive any florist
who has not yet grown them can make
no mistake in trying a few thousands:
A.pollon, fine deep pink; Mathilda, white,
faintly suffused with lavender, early va-
riety, and rather dwarfer in habit than
other sorts; Pink Perfection, a much
better sort than G. Colvillei roseus;
Blushing Bride, really a variety of G.
blandus, white ground, dark crimson spot
on lower petals, large blotch in the cen-
ter; Peach Blossom, in our estimation
the most beautiful of the whole family,
color a delicate peach blossom, received
an award of merit in London in 1898;
Crimson Queen, bright scarlet, light
blotches on lower petals; Ackermanni,
rich salmon qrange, flowers very large
and handsome, spikes extra strong; Sal-
mon Queen, beautiful rich orange.

While the various forms of G. Colvillei
and G. nanus can be planted outdoors
as soon as the ground is open and will
flower in June, we find we can get bet-
ter spikes in flats, and furthermore these
latter can be hastened or retarded as
needed. W. N. C.

GERANIUMS FROM SEED.

Heretofore I have always multiplied
my stock of geraniums by cuttings, but
desire to experiment with seed. Will
you kindly tell me when to pick the
seeds, at what stage of development,
and how soon thereafter it is advisable
to sow them for commercial purpose?

D. W. D.

What we know as geraniums in this
country are called by their correct name
in Europe, zonal pelargoniums. In fact,
pelargonium is the correct botanical

name of the whole genus, . which con-
sists of hundreds of species, some of
which were introduced into the gardens
of Europe more than two centuries ago,
and these numerous species have been
eo crossed and blended that there is
scarcely left an original species in cul-
tivation. At present the pelargonium
can be grouped into four classes, and

^f late ye^rs it is 'efsy to, observe that
ome varieties have the Wood of two
crosses. For instance, that fine semi-
double scarlet, Trego, must be a cross
between Pelargonium zonale and the ivy-
leaved section, or Pelargonium peltatum.
Broadly, the four distinct classes are
as follows: first, the zonal or horseshoe,
used so extensively for bedding the
world over, so admirably suited to the
temperate latitudes of this country, and
universally known as geraniums; sec-
ond, the ivy-leaved geraniums, the off-
spring of Pelargonium peltatum, so
largely used for trailing plants in bas-
kets and vases ; this class seems to* re-
main nearer to its ancestor than any
other class, yet it has been so improved
in stoutness of habit, form, substance
and color of bloom, that it is doubtful
whether the parent, P. peltatum, would
recognize its offspring as being any
relation; third, the scented geraniums,
as a sample, the rose and nutmeg, two
well known varieties; fourth, the show
and fancy type. This is the only class
known in this country as pelargonium,
and absurdly as Lady or Martha Wash-
ington.

It is true that our climate and other
environments do not suit the show
pelargonium as well as those of western
Europe, yet it can be and is grown in
many gardens and some commercial
places with great success. The writer
has a reverence for this beautiful plant
because it was the successful production
of a few thousand pelargoniums for
three or four years, and selling them at
a public market first enabled us to
collect ducats enough to start in busi-
ness. It has a short and gay season
of bloom in May or June, and after
that makes its strongest growth, with
few if any flowers, so it is totally unfit
for a bedding plant. We no longer grow

it and if we did it would sell poorly.
The plants are sadly addicted to more
than one species of aphis. If damp-
ness surrounds them they drop their
petals, and the wonderful perfection
which the zonal geranium has now at-
tained accounts for the passing of the
show pelargonium. The cooler and less
bright weather of England seems best
suited to this fine plant, for at the
leading flower shows of Great Britain
the firm of Charles Turner, of Stough,
England, annually exhibits plants not
over two feet above the pot, and seven
feet in diameter, with thousands of
flowers. They are a sight not easily for-
gotten. Now it is possible that many
of these widely dissimilar types would
cross and have been crossed, hence the
multitudes of varieties now cultivated.
Pelargoniums of any kind are only
produced from seed with the object of
raising a new and improved variety. The
pelargoniums bear seeds readily without
any artificial poUenization. If you want
to cross two good varieties, the proceen
is simple. Merely introduce the pollen
of one variety to the stigma of another
flower. It would be safest to do this
under glass, not out of doors, or the
bees or butterflies may have preceded
you in your work. Early spring would
be a favorable time. The seed should
be gathered as soon as the seed pods
are ripe, and sown at once. Don't
think for a moment that raising the
zonal geranium from seed is as profitable
as from cuttings. If you raised 500
plants from seed, it would be two years
before you had any fit for sale. Among
the 500 would be a few as good as their
parents, possibly one or two superior,
but the great majority would have all
sorts of freak colors and all the poor
qualities of their countless progenitors.
Unless your desire is to raise and dis-
seminate new varieties, stick to your
cutting bed or small pots. W. S.

Society Meeting.

July L:0 the New Orleans Horticul-
tural Society held its twenty-second an-
nual meeting. The association is over
fifty strong, and nearly every member
was present. A few communications
were first read by the secretary, C. K.
Pauter. President P. A. Chopin sent
his thanks for the present he received
from the members on the occasion of his
wedding, '.liarles Wise, S7 years old, was
electe-.ra life member. The old gentle-
man, who is still healthy and active,
is much pleased with the distinction.
The committee on outing reported on
the last trip to Grand Lsle. The at-
tendance was not as large as it has been
in former years, and some change will
have to be made in the future. The
finance committee showed a balance on
hand of $063. This may look good
enough, but the treasury does not seem
to improve in proporti. u with the list
of members, (j. R. Eichling proposed
to increase the monthly dues. H. Pap-
worth said that successful flower show.s
will bring more money into the treasury.
E. Baker was the last to speak and said
that our society is as prosperous as
any one could wish. Its membership is
increat-ing all the time, following stead-
ily the principle on which it was founded
over twenty years ago.

The most important business was the
election of othcers. Otto Abele was
elected president, C. Louis Sieber vice-
president. John Eblen treasurer, and 0.
K. Panter secretary.

The newly elected pre;;ident was born
in Germany, thirty-three years ago, com-
ing to this country when but a boy.
His love for nature induced him to
learn the jlorist 's busiu'^sc^. After serv-
ing iu several establishments, he started
in business on his own account, taking
u[. landscape gar.lening and the grow-
ing of plants while still very young, anl
w;is -uccesst'ul from the start. In ]>94
he torni.'.l a partnership with his
hr..tlier. Paul Abele, under the firm name
of Al:«/li' Br.is. Being a man of good
ju.igment, high ambition and having a
perfect knowdo'lge of the business, he
will undoubtedly .lirect the afl'airs of
the suciety well. He is als.i a member
xi the German Gardeners' dub, of the
German Singing Society and other or-
ganizations.

What wo know as geraniums in this
country are called by their c(irrcct imme
in Kuropo, zonal {Hdarironiuins. In tact,
pelargonium is the correct botanical

name of the whole genus, which con-
sists of hundreds of species, some of
whi(di were introduced into the gardens
of Europe more than two leirturies ago.
and; these numerous species have been
so crossed and blended that there is
scarcely left an original species in cul-

can be grouped into four classes, and
of late years it is easy to observe that
some varieties have the blood of two
crosses. I'or instance, that fine semi-
double scarlet, Trego, must be a cro,ss
between Pelargonium zonale and the ivy-
leaved secti^m, or Pelargonium peltatum.
Broadly, the four distin<.-t classes are

The plants are sadly addicted to more

petals, and the wonderful perfection
which the zonal geranium has now at-
tained accounts for the passing of the
show pelargonium. The cooler and less
bright weather of England seems best
suited to this fine plant, for at the
leading tlower shows of Great Britain
the firm of Charles Turner, of Stough,
England, annually exhil.dt.s plants not
over t\vo feet abii\o the pot, and seven
feet in diameter, .with thousamls of

CONVENTION 1I3ATE.

The S. A. F. conrea'tion opens at
Dayton, 0., Tuesday, A»agust 21, and
continues until Friday, August 24.
Every indication is that "the attendance
will be probably the lar^ eet in the his-
tory of the society.

CYANIDE FUMG-^TION.

I notice on page 515 cz>t the Betvikw
for July 19, that A. F_ J. Baur en-
dorses my formula for usL ixg or generat-
iBg cyanide gas, for whi <:h I am very
thankful, but Mr. Baur goes on to cau-
tion people to be careful in tbe method
of use, and advises that "the little par-
cels of cyanide be droppe<3. into the jars

through a hole in the roof by a string.
This plan is tedious and awkward, and
may deter some readers from using this
excellent remedy against the minute
•white fly and other troublesome insects.
I can assure ^r. Baiir and others that
there is not th& slightest danger if you
follow directions given on page 461.
For instance, if your house tc&es six
or ten jars, a jar -for every 2,000 cubic
feet of atmosphfere, they should be set
on the paths and equally distributed.
"When the sulphuric acid and water are
mixed and the jars are in place, you
go to the end of the house farthest from
the door and drop the parcel of cyanide
into the first jar, then walk to the next,
and so on until you reach -the door. In
fact, you scarcely even smell the gas.
Don't stop between jars to light your
pipe, tell a story, '<>r dance the highland
fling, and there will not be the slightest
danger. I am positive of this, for
frequently we have operated nine or
ten jars, and then stood with our noses
inside the house and legs outside, wait-
ing to inhale the fumes and contemplat-
ing the glorious massacre that was go-
ing on among our little enemies. The
hole in the roof and string are quite
unnecessary. Of that I am absolutely
positive. WiLLUM Scott.

THE DAYTON SOUVENIR.

To offset a wrong impression, created
by a communication from a member of
this club, recently published in the trade
papers, we wish to state that the refer-
ence made to the publication of the Day-
ton Souvenir being left to "private en-
terprise," was ma<te without knowledge
of the actual conditions and does an
injustice to H. M. Altick, in charge of
this work.

We therefore, by action of this club,
fully endorse H. M. Altick 's statelnent
of facts published in a recent issue of
this paper, as correct in every respect,
and herewith assure the patrons of the
Souvenir and the members of the S. A.
F. that their support of this publication
will aid the Dayton Florists* Club in
making a successful convention.'

The Market

The feature of the market this week is
the increase in asters, now of excellent
quality, in every shade of color that is
favored by this summer beauty. Valley
is also an important factor. Carnations
are scarce, really fine blooms command-
ing high prices. Sweet peas are not
abundant. Album and rubrum lilies are
seen, as well as auratum. The New
England roses continue to be the best in
the market. Greens are plentiful. Busi-
ness is good for midsummer.

Variofts Notes.

Harry Bayersdorfer and Mrs. Bayers-
dorfer returned home on the steamer
New York, arriving last Sunday. They
went at once to Atlantic City. Mr. Bay-
ersdorfer, when seen at his oflSce on Mon-
day, said they had brought the crew
of a wrecked vessel safely to port. He
spoke with pleasure of his trip, promis-
ing to show the fiorists of America some

beautiful novelties of which his firm has
exclusive control.

W. J. Sherry, of the Johnson Seed Co.,
reports an encouraging local ax4 oi^t-of-
towif demand. Grennan millet is an ex-
ception, there being next to no demand,
owing to the. rainy season.

Hooert H. Glass is no longer with the
Leo Niessen Co.

J. Liddon Pennock is the hero of a
yacht race sailed at Ocean City, N. J.,
last Saturday. He took his brother,
Samuel Sellers, along as ballast. Brother
being a novice in the art of yachting, un-
luckily in the excitement of the race
the ballast fell into the water, where,
when the clever skipper described a cir-
cle, he rescued the ballast, and won the
race amid applause.

M. Eice & Co. closed the best year in
the history of the house on June 30.
July is away ahead of the same month
last year.

The Henry F. Mlchell Co. has in-
stalled a new private branch telephone
exchange, both Bell and Keystone, the
operator on the platform in the center
of the store connecting the caller with
any person desired, on any flpor of the
main building or in the annex.

Leo Niessen has been visiting the rose
houses of some of the growers who ship
such fine roses to his company. Frank
P. Myers has over 25,000 Beauties
planted. All are in fine conditibn.
George Burton's place promises to up-
hold his high reputation of the past sea-
sons. All the houses are in Beauties
save one planted with Golden Gate. John
C. Andre has a house of Killamey worth
going miles to see. His Brides and
Maids are also fine. Joseph Beavis &
Son have three houses in Maids, two
each in Liberty and Kaiserin and one
each in Bride and Bichmond, all in ex-
cellent condition. George C. Campbell
has his new house finished and planted
with Bichmond. His place shows the
effect of conscientious work.

Now is the time to buy rubber hose.
The rainy season has caused a break in
the market of 2 cents a foot on some
good brands.

Lilium Harrisii are arriving in good
shape.

The Stokes Seed Store has some nice
celery plants grown on Mr. Stokes' place
at Moorestown.

Answers to GMrespondents.

Review readers are Inrlted to send any ques-
tions relating to cultnre or marketing of plants
and Sowers in Philadelphia, to Phil, In care of
the leading aeed or commission bouses or tbe
Flower Market. Each question will be submitted
to a competent person and answered under num-
ber. Correct name and address must always
accompany inquiry, but will not be published.

54.— I notice over your pen name of
"Phil," you and Mr. F., and possibly a
few others, are trying to claim a dis-
covery, that the growing of plants
is a profession. Am sorry, for at
best it may only be claimed as a re-
discovery, for said occupation was known
as a profession when I was an appren-
tice and how long before that time the
necessary history is not at hand in aid-
ing in determining. All horticulturists,
I oelieve, who gleaned some inkling as
to the intricacies of plant life in Great
Britain pride themselves as belonging to
a profession.

I said, "Who had the courage to say
profession!" Nearly all our writers and
public speakers use the word "trade,"
sometimes "business." I am sure you
will join with me in doing the utmost to
elevate our calling to the rank of a pro-
fession. Phiu

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market.

There is no great stir in the market,
but nevertheless trade is as good as
could be expected at this date. July,
1905, was unanimously reported to have
been the best on record, but the indica-
tions are that this month will be as good
in the majority of houses, and with some
that are fortunate in having special
crops of summer stock it will prove
an even better July than that of a year
ago. Shipping demand is active, al-
though the orders are not large. This
week started with a brisk city trade so
far as number of buyers went, but, of
course, requirements were limited. One
house reported ninety-eight tickets made
on Monday at 3 o'clock in the after-
noon. "

The increase in demand in the last
few days is doubtless largely due to
the fact that crops are at about the
lowest level. "With a majority of out-
-side growers no roses are being cut and
the carnation houses have been cleared.
There are still plenty of roses in our
market, but carnations have shortened
materially and good carnations are ex-
cellent property this week. There con-
tinue to be good supplies of red roses
and several growers are cutting quite a
few Brides and Maids from old plants.
Young stock is beginning to make its
appearance, especially of Beauties, but,
of course, the latter are short. A few
outdoor carnations are seen, but they
do not have the quality to make them
salable. Good indoor stock readily
broujfht $1.50 to $2 per hundred the first
of this week.

Asters are now available in quantity.
The quality generally is no more than
medium. Bright weather has made short
stems and the centers are open. The
glut of sweet peas is passed and what
remain are of only indifferent quality.
Auratum lilies are exceedingly abundant
and sell very low. Longiflorum does
better. Gladioli are increasing in quan-
tity each day. Quality varies widely and
so do the prices. Tuberoses are arriving.
Many outdoor flowers are seen, but are
not especially attractive to the retailers,
for the weather has not been favorable
and quality is low.

The Latest Peonies.

Monday afternoon, July 23, Kruchten
& Johnson still had seventy-three dozens
of peonies in the ice-box. The variety
was Late Eose and these were absolutely
the last of the season. They had been
in cold storage for something over four
weeks, and had been in the firm's ice-
box for nearly a week longer, coming out
in remarkably good shape. It is believed
that this is the latest date to which
peonies ever have been kept in cold
storage.

Azores Lilies.

Bassett & Washburn are marketing
quite a cut of lilies from the Azores
bulbs spoken of in last week's issue.
These longiflonims had been in cold
storage for eleven months, and were so
anxious . to bloom that the flowers were
ready before much stem had been made.
The bloom is of much heavier texture
than are those from either Bermuda or
Japan bulbs and will stand considerable
handling without bruising. Bassett &

Washburn are well pleased with their
experience with the Azores lilies.

Cold Storage Candidum.

The A. L. Randall Co, is this week
closing out the last of its candidum lilies.
These were placed in cold storage June
23. They did not keep nearly so well as
last year because a large proportion of
the flowers were spotted when placed in
cold storage, and the spot developed a
brown rot which spoiled the flowers. The
price realized has not been so good as a
year ago, but much better than could
have been done if the stock had all been
placed on the market when it was cut.

Various Notes.

Philip Foley, president of the Foley
Mfg. Co., is away on a tour of in-
spection of his western lumber and min-
ing interests.

Fred Strail closed his store at 164
Adams street by invitation of one of his
creditors. His present address is stated
to be room 213, 175 Dearborn street,
where he is engaged in another line of
business.

The plans for the improvement of the
west parks include the expenditure of
$275,000 for conservatories and green-
house at Garfield park, and the ex-
penditure of $31,000 for a flower garden
at Humboldt park, Jena Jensen, as gen
eral superintendent of the west parks,
is making pronounced improvements.

L, Baumann & Co. are preparing to
make a large display at the Dayton con-
vention. Mr, Baumann found a number
of excellent novelties while on his Eu-
ropean trip.

clean up pretty well. Receipts are

quality, selling from 50 cents to $1.50
per hundred, a few bringing $2. Roses
command "any old price," to quote a
salesman at one of the markets. Beau-
ties are not plentiful, but some very
good Kaiserin and Carnot are seen.
Chatenay also continues good.

Sweet peas are arriving in larger
numbers and vary from 15 cents to 25
cents per hundred. Popular selling va-
rieties are King Edward VII, Lady
Grisel Hamilton, Miss Wilmott, Count-
ess of Radnor and such whites as Emily
Henderson and Dorothy Eckford. Out-
door gladioli and dahlias are coming in
small lots. Asters are becoming much
more abundant and sell at from $1 to
$2 per hundred. Candytuft, gypsophila,

perennial phlox, achillea and other out-
door material are seen. Adiantum and
asparagus remain about the sam^.

Exhibition,

Sweet peas were the chief attraction
at the exhibition in Horticultural hall
on July 21 and, considering the humid
atmospheric conditions which had pre-
vailed for several days, causing spot
on the blooms, the display was good,
filling six tables. For thirty varieties,
twenty-five sprays of each, W. J. Clem-
son, J. O. Kristenson gardener, won
with a good selection. For twelve va-
rieties Joseph Thorpe led with a very
finely colored lot, followed by A. E.
Hartshorn and W. Whitman, M. Sulli-
van gardener. O. B. Kenrick, A. E.
Hartshorn and W. J. Clemson won in
order named for fifty sprays white, all
showing Dorothy Eckford. For light
pink or blush A. E. Hartshorn was first,
with excellent Countess Spencer, fol-
lowed by E. L. Lewis and W. J. Clem-
son with' Gladys Unwin. E. L. Lewis
had the best fifty rose-colored, showing
American Queen, also the best blue or
purple shade, Helen Pierce. A. E.
Hartshorn, with fine Mrs. George Hig-
ginson, won out on lavender, W. J.
Clemson second with Lady G. Hamilton,
O. B. Kenrick third with the same va-
riety. The last named led with scarlet,
showing good sprays of King Edward
VII. In a strong class for orange or
salmon-pink W. J. Clemson was first
with Miss Wilmott; Mrs. A. W. Blake,
J. L. Smith gardener, second, with Lady
Mary Currie; W. L. Lewis third with
Miss Wilmott. For any other color
E. L. Lewis took first and second with
Maid of Honor and America, 0. B. Ken-
rick third with Stanley.

Additional honorary displays of
sweet peas were made by W. W. Raw-
son & Co., who had large bunches of
twenty of the newest and best sorts;
Mrs. E. M. Gill, E. L. Lewis, W. J.
Clemson and others. For six pans

Club Picnic

Everything is in readiness for the
Gardeners' and Florists' Club's picnic
at Waushakum grove, South Framing-
ham, July 25, and at the liour of writ-
ing climatic conditions promise to be
favorable. The picnic occurs a little
too late to report in this week's Re-
view. There are twenty-five events to
be competed for in the sports depart-
ment, including baseball, cricket, quoits,
throwing the hammer, tug of war, races
of all kinds, and in fact about every-
thing that goes to make up a veritable
sporting carnival. In the cricket game

and tug of war commercial growers arc
pitted against private gardeners.

Several hundred dollars' worth of
prizes arc offered, comprising a wide
assortment of valuabie, ornamental, and
useful articles. The donors include

Various Notes.

The rival Park Street Market and
Music Hall Market baseball teams will
battle for supremacy on August 5 at
Child's Farm, Waltham. Last year the
Music Hall boys came out ahead in the
game played at Robert Montgomery's.
This year their rivals are determined to
turn the tables on them in a decisive
manner, and with J. R. Free as mana-
ger and the stalwart Wilham R. Nichol-
son as captain they feel confident they
can accomplish the trick. The Music
Hall team is getting ready for the fray
under the captaincy of T. F. Matthews
and m.anagement of W. C. Ward.

Lewis R. .Jackson, of Woburn, is add-
ing a new greenhouse which will just
double his area of glass.

The H. E. Fiske Seed Co., just in-
corporated, makes an addition to Bos-
ton's list of seed houses. H. E. Fiske,
the treasurer, is late manager for W. W.
Rawson & Co. The president is P. H.
Stratton and the clerk S. W. Calver.
The capital is $30,000.

Robert Marshall, of Newton, one of
our best plantsmen and gardeners, will
succeed A. J. Newell in charge of Mrs.
R. M. Clark's estate at Pomfret, Conn.

John K. M. L. Farquhar hopes to sail
on a European trip about August IL

J. Tailby & Son, of Wellesley, have a
fine display* of hybrid yellow callas in
their fields at present which attracts
the notice of many of the passengers
on the Boston & Albany railroad, which
runs very close to them.

Waban Conservatories are sending in
very fine blooms of the new rose,
Wellesley. It has a good sale in Brock-
ton, Lynn and other cities outside of
Boston.

Elm leaf beetles have been unusually
destructive this season, not only in Bos-
ton and suburbs, but in many other
towns and cities. Many fine trees are
now nearly denuded of foliage, while
others have a brown and seared appear-
ance.

Quite a few carnation growers are
now busy housing their stock from the
fields. Plants look well and are larger
than in 1905.

W. H. Elliott finds Wellesley a good
summer rose. He is growing several
thousands of it at his Medbury, N. H.,
establishment,

Michael Galligan, a well known land-
scape gardener in Bristol county, died
at Attleboro on July 20, aged 60 years.
He leaves eight children.

The Market

If there is any business going on
among the retailers, except a little
funeral work, we haven't heard of it.
The weather has been hot and Old
Humidity is getting in his work in
great shape. Little activity is shown
at the wholesale houses during the
morning hours. Everybody is talking
picnic. According to the interest
shown it should be a grand success.
Quite a lot of fair stock is coming in.
Some very nice asters, white and pur-
ple, are selling well. They are cheap
enough, and with any kind of work
should yield a good profit to the re-
tailer. Sweet peas are still plentiful,
but stems are becoming shorter every
day. In lots of 1,000 the price is cheap.

The roses that are coming in are

VariotM Notes.

George M. Kellogg, of Pleasant Hill,
spent Tuesday of last week in this
city. Mr. Kellogg will go to Dayton
with the St. Louis delegation.

S. B. Beal, with L. L. May & Co., St.
Paul, was in the eity last week.

Frank M. Ellis, after an absence of
six months, is expected home next
week. In a letter Mr. Ellis says that
he has a good thing in his banana plan-
tation.

W. C. Smith and Will Adels are out
hustling in the interest of the Florists'
Club. The^- say they will present six
applications for membership at the next
meeting of the club, August 9.

A correction should be made in the
notes of the Edwardsville trip in last
issue, which should have stated that
only for the election of officers the next
meeting would be held in Belleville,
III. Tlie articles of incorporation re-
quire that we elect officers in Missouri.

By the new bond issue $670,000 can
be expended by the park department
for new parks, to enlarge the old ones
and make improvements. It has been
stated that the old fair-grounds will be
bought and new greenhouses will be
built at Forest park, the old ones being
too small.

Chief Clerk J. H. Nolen, of the State
Labor Bureau, reports that the farmers
who grew ginseng sold $105,648 worth
of it this year, the weight of this being
17,60S pounds, and that the bulk of it
was shipped to China.

Carew Sanders, one of the oldest
members of the Florists' Club, has been
sick of late. Let us hope to see him
at the picnic Thursday, as Mr. Sanders
seldom mi.sses one of the club's out-
ings.

All of the wholesale houses and some
of the retail stores will close half a
day on Thursdaj' in order to give their
employees a chance to attend the Flor-
ists' Club's outing.

NEV YORK.

TlieMjtrket

Heat enough for all practical purposes
and humidity to burn was the record last
week, so far as New York weather was
concerned. This concerns the florists
most because of the big rise on ice,
prices going up to the value of a best
Beauty, 35 cents for a hundred pounds.
As wholesale florists use ice by the ton
in some of the big boxes, you can see
an even temperature is just now a serious
problem. The ice trust has the flower
merchants by the esophagus.

N'ot only did Beauties soar last Satur-
day, but carnations were also scarce and
high. Scarcity rather than demand was
the uplifting power. The weather was
at the bottom of all the trouble, but it
was just ordinary July weather after all.
Looking back at July of other years, his-
tory repeats itself. It's the old story.
There will be no change until after the
convention.

Koses begin to improve and really
good stock secures excellent prices. Car-
nations are scarce and when wanted com-
mand encouraging values. The lilies
rise to 10 cents at times and the supply
is light. Green goods of all kinds are
stagnant.

Grehids go neither up nor do^n. The
Newport season is slow to open and the
expected call from society has not been
heard. In fact, there is some specula-
tion ii« to an unusually dull season in
the city by the sea. Sweet peas were
unquotable Saturday, they were so
abundant and so poor. (Jladioli are ris-
ing, not in price, but like the tides,

Childs and Cowee will overflow their
banks and many a smaller stream, too,

Various Notes.

The interest in the convention grows
steadily. It has been pretty thoroughly
stirred up during the last two weeks and
everybody is talking about it. .T. B.
Heiss has been here arranging with ex-
liibitors. Boddington already has a fine
display of cannas there and will make
a big showing in Convention hall. Harry
Bunyard, of this house, is also oflScial
traveling representative of the S. A. F.
and has the credentials of President
Kasting in his inside pocket. The rib-
bon men will have handsome exhibits
and the boiler men and the supply men,
and in fact in exhibits and attendance
New York purposes to maintain its repu-
tation. John liirnie to the contrary not-
withstanding, it may attach first honors
in the bowling contest. New York al-
ways has enough reserve material to
make a good showing without giving les-
sons to Flatbush and Hoboken, John
can thank the courtesy of the New York
Club for Jersey's showing at the outing.
Such rewards and variety are promised
the sport lovers at Dayton by Chairman

Altick that everybody is devoting time
to physical perfection for the occasion,
and so many unusual features of enter-
tainment are listed that the ambitious
and generous little city deserves a record
crowd in acknowledgment of its enter-
prise and devotion to the national so-
ciety.

James McManus reports the excursion
of his life to Denver and the mountains.
He saw no orchids on Pike's Peak, but
he did see the Spanish peaks of Arizona
135 miles away, and lie finds the far west
awake to the fact that the orchid is the
king of flowers and that every city of
the land must have them.

Another suburbanite has found the
laud boom profitable. G. F. Neipp, of
Aqueduct, L. I., has vacated in behalf
of the Brooklyn water supply, whidi is
short.

J. T. Lovett and family, of little Sil-
ver, are enjoying a vacation amid the
mountain resorts of PennsyJtania. The
firm has just completed the largest
nursery business in its long career.

V. L. Outerbiidge li« just returned
from a six weeks' btMlness trip to Ber-
muda.

F. H. Henry, of Henry & Lee, is now
on the lily island. Everybody this year
will have a shaft supply of large Har-
risii. There will be a big call, therefore,
for Japs ani everything now indicates
a banner ci'<)p. Owing to excessive rain
in April Md frosts in March, only half
the qua«<lty of the French stock of can-
didum» may be expected. The first ship-
ment </t the year of Chinese lilies reached
the coast last Saturday.

The youngest wholesaler was a year

old last Friday, and now it's Traendly,
Schenck & Traendly.

John J. Perkins had the misfortune to
lose one of his best horses from the ex-
cessive heat last Thursday. Mr. Per-
kins says the move of the wholesale busi-
ness to Twenty-eighth street was a prof-
itable one.

John Nash, of Moore, Hentz & Nash,
leaves August 1 for a holiday at Lake
Ueorge, with his family.

John Seligman leaves on Saturday of
this week for the Adirondacks. Jos.
Levy, of this company, will unite his hol-
iday in September with a very interest-
ing event that includes honeymoon fes-
tivities.

M. A. Bowe and family are at Asbury
Park, N. J. Mr. Bowe had some elabo-
rate funeral designs last week at the ob-
sequies of two of New York's most
prominent attorneys, Walter 8. Logan
and J. Cardoza, orchid wreaths and a
6-foot broken column among them. The
church was decorated profusely with
large palms.

Michael Ford is away for his usual
summer outing.

Mr. HoflFmeier is still recuperating
from his arduous devotion to the outing,
much of its success showing evidence
of his persistent eflfort.

Arthur Wient, of Froment's, the man
of all trades, is off for a two weeks'

F. L. Moore, of Cliatham, has been up

He made a most advantageous purchase.
One of his sons will accompany him and
"the good twins" will continue to run
the Woodside plant as well.

The Pierson U-Bar Co, is applying its
construction to the florists' use in a
somewhat novel and thoroughly practical
manner in erecting show rooms, in which
under conditions unmatched for light-
ness, attractiveness and downright cheery
convincingness, the flowers and plants are
shown to best possible advantage. This
is positively an age when "any old
thing" won't do; even the callous buy-
ers who cry against innovations are the
first to fall prey to advanced, inviting
methods.

Victor Dorval and Gus Schraeder, of
Long Island, are away on a trip to the
Falls and down the St. Tiawrence,
through the Thousand Isles.

Myer, of 609 Madison, has a very ar-
tistic window trimmed with oak bark

turtles and ducklings. The bottom is
covered with moss and leads to a minia-
ture forest where a large hawk with
chickens in beak and claw presides, A
lot of interest is created and the value
of unique and original decorative work
is emphasized. So many opportunities
for brainy work in window display are
afforded in New York windows, and such

more do not wake up to its importance.

Seed Trade News.

AIEBICAN SEED TBADE ASSOCIATION.

Pres., Henry W. Wood, Richmond, Va.; First
Vlce-Pres.. Jharles Burgre, Tuledo,0 ; Sec'y and
Treae., C. E. Keudel, Ulevelano. The 3&tb annual
meeting will be held at New York City, June, ISH*?.

The H. E. Fiske Seed Co., Boston,
is a new concern organized by the
former manager for W. W. Rawson & Co.

The harvesting of onion has begun
in California and there is a prospect
that deliveries will be larger than early
reports had led the trade to expect.

Nobody is saying much about beans at
present. It is best so ; the truth Avill be
known soon enough and it will be just
as unsatisfactory then as a guess would
be now.

Latest reports from the pea fields
show an improved condition, and some of
the growers predict that a good crop
may be looked for. There are many
things that may yet happen to upset
these calculations, however, and a large
pea crop is not any more of a sure thing
than a big crop of onion seed.

The onion set harvest is begun at Chi-
cago. The fields of the southern section
of the district are the ones first ready for
the harvest and it is there that operations
are under way. The northern section,
except in a few cases, will not be touched
for another week. The harvest so far
bears out the recent forecasts made by
the Review that the crop will be fine as
to quality, but much below average as to
quantity.

Repoets show that in the seed line
summer trade as a rule has not been so
good this season as ordinarily. The dry
weather is responsible for this. In the
Chicago district the exceedingly dry
weather is working much hardship to
some of the market gardeners. Crops
that should be at hand to send to mar-
ket are so far behind that little can be
expected of them. The drought has pre-
vented the usual plantings of beans,
which will further curtail their source of
revenue. Onions will be small, and on
the whole the outlook from the ordinary
gardeners' standpoint is far from ideal.
There are exceptions to this rule, but
rhoy are what are considered the for-
tunate ones and are the people who coulil
best stand a season of adversity.

SEED CROPS.

Peas and Beans.

W. H. Grenell, Saginaw, Mich., writes:
' ' Pea crops in this section are good
and stand even. I expect, with a good
harvest, to get a normal yield. Early
varieties are being harvested under
favorable conditions. Beans are a good
stand and color, but short in growth,
o«ing to the cold spring. The present
warm, dry weather is hurrying the blos-
soming and will curtail the yield. I do
not look for more than a fair crop and
not much, if any, surplus. Wax varie-
ties are lacking badly in vine a^d if
any rust appears the crop will develop
short of present estimates. ' '

have had for several years. Quality is
brighter and crop is larger. The price
of this item is lower than has ruled for
four or five years.

"Kentucky blue grass was seriously
injured by dry weather, and the rain
came too late to prevent a serious short-
age in the crop. There has not been
much movement of tliis item an yet, due
to the fact tliat growers are holding their
seed at stiff prices, and cleaners are
not inclined to pay the prices or to quote
at anything like reasonable figures.

"Redtop will turn out a better crop
than was anticipated a short time ago,
though nothing like a large crop, and we
arc looking for higher prices for this
seed the entire season. Very little old
seed has been carried by dealers, and
there will be a demand for all there
has been carried before the new crop
will be ready to ship, which will be some
time in September.

"Winter lurf oats are shorter this
year than usual, due to less acreage,
bad growing season, and the fact that
farmers arc using many of them as sheaf
oats instead of threshing.

"Bed clover is at present looking
well in this section, and we are not
anticipating any serious shortage.

"The crop of seed wheat in this local-
ity is remarkably fine this year, and we
have had most excellent yields from our
crops, which will yield the very finest
.stocks for seeding. ' '

Onion Sets.

"Wood, Stubbs & Co. say of sets in the
Louisville district: "Onion sets have
turned out fairly well, though not quite
so large a croj) as in the last three or
four years. The acreage sown in this
locality tliis year was about the same
as usual, but owing to the unfavorable
weatlier many of the sets did not come
up altogether satisfactory, and it looked
at one time as if the crop would be
very much shortened. The season has
been fairly favorable for the growth
of sets however (not too wet) and fields
that it was thought at one time would
make altogether i)ickle onions, liave
turned out fairly well, so we have a fair
average cro}) of sets of good quality.

"Last season, owing to the wet
weather and continual rain <luring
harvest, many Louisville sets were very
bad quality, especially the whites; in
fact, it was almost impossible to get
good quality white sets. We are not
anticipating any such trouble this year,
and there will not be anything like the
shrinkage in sets this year that there
was last. Quantities of sets alreaily have
been dug, though no movement in the
crop has taken place.

"From crop reports in other sections
it seems sets will be higher than they
were last year, and we are anticipating
considerably higher prices in the winter
and early spring months than ruled last
season.

Jll.Y 20, 1900.

The Weekly Florists' Review^

"Louisville dealers prefer selling sets
on prompt shipment to taking future
orders. From the fact that there is such
an enormous quantity grown here by so
many miscellaneous growers, it would
take enormous storage room to take care
of the sets, and as they are offered
daily on this market, stocks can be re-
placed in a short time. ' '

Huntington & Page, Indianapolis,
write July 21 : " The onion set crop in
this district is about two weeks later
than usual, but in an extremely nice con-
dition at the present time. We have
had some showers which have been of
great benefit to the same, but the acreage
is considerably less than last season.
The yield we anticipate to be fully up
to the average if not a little better."

Connecticut Specialties.

The Everett B. Clark Co., Milford,
Conn., reports: "With reference to
growing crops we wish to say the month
of July to date has been especially un-
favorable to the growing and maturing
of seed crops because of the continual
rains we have had, also many severe
thunder-storms, which have been ex-
tremely damaging to all crops. Our
onion, just coming into bloom, has suf-
fered by the recent hard showers, as the
pollen has been washed out and this has
caused blight which has already started
on several of our fields, and we fear
that this will affect our crop largely.
Our carrot crop also has been affected
the same way by the same thing.
Beet seed, at this writing, looks well.
Corn IS making a rapid growth, and
making up for its late start. The acre-
age planted, however, was very small,
and as the rains have washed out the
low lands, our crop will be quite light. ' '

Nebraska Specialties.

The Western Seed & Irrigation Co.,
Fremont, Neb., writes: "We can only
report in a general way on the sweet
and field corn and vine seed crops at
the present time. We have received re-
ports of fair to very good stands of
nearly all varieties of sweet and field
corn, with an occasional report of thin and
uneven stands of a few varieties, but the
crops are nearly all in good growing
condition and clean, having been cul-
tivated four to five times and in most
instances laid by.

"The reports of the cucumber crops
are not quite so good, many of them
.showing thin, uneven stands, on account
of the dry weather in June at the time
of planting, and the damage caused by
the striped beetle. We have received
other reports of fair to good stands, and
look for enough seed to fill order.s
booked, if the crops do not meet with
disaster the balance of the season.

' ' The muskmelon and watermelon
crops mostly are reported as showing
good stands, and in fine condition, with
the exception of a few small lots, which
were hurt by the cutworms and striped
beetle, necessitating rei)lanting and
causing the crops to be backward and
simall.

"The pumpkin and squash crops also
are fair to good, but in some <ases are
like the melon crops above referred to
as having been damaged by the cut-
worms, etc.

' ' We recently have heard that the
melon aphis has been found in a num-
ber of spots, on some of the cucumber
and melon crops in the vicinity of
Waterloo, but we do not know to how-

serious an extent the damage may
amount, if any, at the j)resent time.
ShouM the same conditions that we have
had for the last ten days to two weeks
continue for any great length of time we
may expect some damage to the cucum-
ber and melon crops from tlie aphis.
W^e have been having numerous show-
ers, followed by hot, muggy, humid
weather, which we understand are favor-
able conditions for the rapid increase of
the aphis. However, the last two days
have been clear antl cooler, and we may
not have any serious loss of crops from
the aphis. ' '

SEED CROPS IN FRANCE.

The French seed growers were recently
all praying for summer weather, but now
they have got it, do not seem from re-
cent reports to be entirely satisfied. The
drought succeeding suddenly a cold wet
period appears to have baked the soil
like pie-crust, and growth is in conse-
quence not so robust as the growers
would like to see. From what we can
gath^ this is one of these seasons when
the first-rate cultivator, whose land is
well worked and fertilized, is likely to
reap full advantage from his industry,
[n a normal year the difference is not so
marked, the indifferent cultivators mere-
ly coming in a little behind, but this sea-
son some of them will probably fail to
get any crop at all. — Horticultural Ad-
vertiser.

EUROPEAN SEED NOTES.

With the present fine summer weather,
every kind of seed crop all over
Europe is looking much better than
would have been expected from appear-
ances a fortnight ago, but still most ar-
ticles will be short of the average. Beets
and mangels, both in England and on
the continent, although they have made
exceptional progress, cannot produce
more than a moderate crop, and in some
cases the returns will have to be classeil
as poor. Onions all over Europe are
reported as poor, in some cases bad. In
reports to hand from the Italian dis-
tricts and also from Leipzig, Germany,
.some very high prices are being spoken
of, although growers are accompanying
their offers with the remark that for
some varieties it is hoped to reduce prices
later on, should the crop turn out better
than it at present gives promise of.

It is the general opinion in the trade
that before long much higher prices will
liave to be given for all classes of seeds
grown on contract, both in England and
on the continent. For several years the
seed farmers have complained bitterly

that no profit is ever made now on hardly
any class of seeds, contending that with
the light yields growing prices have not
advanced accordingly. It remains to be
seen whether this probable advance will
come out of the pockets of the actual
consumer or the dealer. I imagine it
will come out of the pockets of the con-
tracting wholesale houses only.

In recent reports from Naples it is
stated that the seed crops are making
good progress, although annual and bien-
nial flower seeds will be very late. Now
that growth has got well under way, the
flower seed fields of all classes are look-
ing far better than ever could have been
expected when viewing the fields after
the eruption, and the quantities of most
.innual varieties of flower seeds will not
be much below the average, although
■quality may be impaired by the necessity
for replanting. The Paper White nar-
cissi seem to be the hardest hit, and an
advance of some forty to fifty per cent
has taken place in top grade bulbs.

LILY OF THE VALLEY.

The generally poor quality of lily of
the valley in England this season, and
in fact for some seasons past, is caus-
ing a deal of comment among growers
and the generally accepted opinion is
that the quality is not improving, as it
should do, but rather it is getting worse
each year. One of the largest growers
in England complained bitterly to me
the other day that formerly he had no
diflSculty in getting all his spikes to
bloom with from fourteen to eighteen
large bells on each, whereas now if he
gets that number of bells they are

usually very small, and if he wants large
bells he has to be content with only
about ten on each spike. Of course this
year it is fully recognized among grow-
ers that the poor crop of salable pips in
Germany is caused largely by weather
conditions, but it is also now becoming
pretty well apparent that the continued
yearly cause of this deteriorating qual-
ity is the fact of the large and rapidly
increasing demand from America.
Many German dealers appear to make it
a general practice to buy up and other-
wise control, by contract or otherwise,
the entire product of the best growers
and the product of the best plots of
valley ground, thus leaving only the
second, rate pips to come to England.

The fact of the English growers of-
fering a higher price does not in many
cases appear to secure an improved qual-
ity, although the price now given by
many is quite as high as it is possible
to give to leave the slightest profit to
the grower. One of the largest growers
in England, to place himself on an equal
advantage with American buyers, and in
the hopes of getting the highest quality,
has sent a buyer regularly to the valley
growing districts to buy direct from the
smaller growers.

Some others in England have taken up

the cultivation of pips at home with
great success in quality at any rate, and
I lately came across a grand stock of
the true Berlin variety, some fourteen
acres in extent, in the west of England
and another fine lot of five acres on the
east coast, both looking the picture of
health and vigor. In the course of con-
versation with the growers I learned that
these home-grown pips were in every way
equal in quality to German grown, and
in fact better than they had been in
the habit of receiving from Germany

SWEET PEAS MIXING.

Kindly advise me if sweet peas will
mix when grown within a few feet of
each other. I have some choice peas
this summer and will want to save some
seed, but if there is danger of them mix-
ing I will, of course, not want to go to
this bother and then be disappointed
next spring. I am under the impression
they will not mix, but I want to be sure.

E. G. B.

Sweet peas as grown by the large op-
erators in California are grown quite
close to each other. They do not mix
readily and if properly saved and care
taken to keep the pods of one sort away
from the pods of another, there is little
danger of a mixture at harvest time.

OBITUARY.

Lotus Goeppioger.

The English trade papers for the week
of July 11 bring confirmation of our re-
port that the Louis Goeppinger killed in
the wreck of the steamer special at Sal-
isbury, England, might be the well-known
traveler who had just completed a tour
of the United States. He had sailed
from New York June 23 on the steamer
of that name, landed at Plymouth and
was on his way to London when the rail-
Avay accident occurred which cost more
than a score of lives.

Mr. Goeppinger was a German, for
many years associated with Louis Van
Houtte Pere, Ghent, Belgium, for whom

lie made nearly a score of trips
to this country. Then he spent a
couple of years in an American
seed house and nursery to gain a
closer acquaintance with the de-
mands of the trade here, and then a
short time ago stepped into the opening
offered by the resignation of Mr. Samp-
son, foreign traveler for Peignaux &
Lorin, Angers, France, successors to the
well-known firm of Andre Leroy & Co.

Mr. Goeppinger had called upon prac-
tically every nurseryman, plantsman and
seedsman of consequence in this country,
and was held in high regard by all with
whom he had dealings.

MOLES.

An English exchange says that a fair-
ly light soil is one in which moles can
work freely. This being so, the Avarv
little animals easily work around the
traps set, or make fresh runs. They are
quick to detect and avoid danger, and
consequently few are caught in traps
where the latter are continually in use.
If one has sufficient patience it will pay
to carefully watch the ground, and de-
tect new runs. The latter is fairlv easy
work if the soil is studied a little. ' Hav-
ing found a new run, watch it closely at
the end most recently disturbed, and it
is probable that, ere long, a slight move-
ment of the soil will be noticed; it will,
however, be a very slight one, but di-
rectly it is seen stamp with all the
promptitude and force you possess on
the spot where the movement was ob-
served. This will consolidate the soil,
and prevent the mole escaping, but with
a spade ready at hand, the soil must be
dug out, and probably with the first
spadeful the little burrower will be
thrown out, when, of course, it can be
readily dispatched. A good time to
watch for moles working is after a
Bhower, or between 1 and 4 o'clock in
the afternoon. Patience, a quick eye,
and promptitude are essentials to suc-
cess in catching moles by this method,
but the method is a good one, neverthe-
less, especially where traps have failed.

The Review will send Herrington's
Chrysanthemum Book on receipt of 50
cents.

The Dayton Florists' Club held a well
attended meeting July 9, to put the
finishing touches on our convention
preparations. It was voted to send the

vertise for this convention.

JACKSON, MISS.

The Jackson Floral Co., incorporated
with a capital stock of $5,000, has pur-
chased a finely located tract of four acres
in Belhaven Heights. One acre is now
covered by a lake, and this will be broad-
ened until it is two acres in extent, and
will be stocked with the finest species
of game fish and filled with aquatic
plants. Several . large greenhouses will
also bo built, and within a few months
a complete transformation will take
place, it being the intention of the pro-
moters to make it one of the beauty spots
of the city, a place where visitors can
be taken on their sight-seeing tours of
Jaek.son.

The company has been in existence
about eighteen months, with a store at
119 South State street, and enjoyed a
tine trade in cut flowers during the last
season. The officers are W. B. Taylor,
president ; W. J. Brown, manager, and
Messrs. W. B. Taylor, S. J. Taylor and
W. .J. Brown, directors.

Bracondale, Ont. — George Hollis,
who is an expert with chrysanthemums,
says that most growers for retail make
a mistake in growing too many varie-
ties. It would pay them better to use
only a few sorts and gain a knowledge
of the particular requirements of each
variety.

Bayersdorfer Stirs the French.

The Eeview is in receipt of the follow-
ing from one of its subscribers at Tou-
lon, France, dated July 5 :

"Being a constant reader of your
valued paper and not being a dealer in
immortelles, I wish to state that Messrs.
H. Bayersdorfer & Co., of Philadelphia,
who were always large buyers of immor-
telles and wreaths, have this year given
orders for enormous quantities of immor-
telles and wreaths, such orders as the
people here say have never been given
by all dealers together. I wish them
luck for the courage this Mr. Bayers-
dorfer has."

Mr. Bayersdorfer writes the Review
from Paris, July 8: "Very warm here.
I am coming home July 14 per steamer
New York with a shipload of novelties
in florists' supplies."

THE GOUTWEED.

I send you under separate cover a
specimen of a hardy perennial growing
in dense masses of green and white
foliage about twelve to eighteen inches
high, and throwing up seed stems similar
in appearance to caraway. The plant
is useful for borders, foliage beds, etc.
Please tell me what the name of it is.

W. J. 0.

The plant is a variegated form of
.^gopodium podagraria, the goutweed.
The green form is described as a com-
mon and troublesome weed in Europe.
All the forms are noted for spreading.
It is reported from Rhode Island, Del-
aware and eastern Pennsylvania.

BUDDING NURSERY STOCK.

The Best Season.

Now that the season for budding roses
and-: other sorts of nursery stock is well
under way, a few suggestions on this
line might be in order. During the
months of July and August most of the
work is done. Under favorable condi-
tions it is possible to have salable stock
six to eight months after budding. 1
refer to roses in this instance. Many
of the strong-growing climbers and other
heavy sorts, if the stock is kept growing
either by artificial watering or extra
cultivation, will grow enough to make
salable plants by the following winter
and spring. The stock in all instances
should be kept growing as long as pos-
sible. The non-irrigated is always the
best for transplanting, but in many
places it is not practicable to grow it in
this way. Better roots are made when
irrigation is not the rule, and better
hardened wood can always be depended
on. This is especially true of roses, as
has been demonstrated for many sea-
sons in this state.

Selection of Scions.

In the selection of scions for budding,
much time and stock have been wasted
by selecting buds that were not suf-
ficiently matured to take hold. It is
a good plan to select only those stems
that are of the latest growth, and from
these discard about one-third from the
tip. In selecting roses, if possible, al-
ways get such scions as have had flow-
ers on the ends of the stems, and when
the blossoms dry off it is safe to con-
clude that the eyes are firm enough to
use. This rule cannot be followed with
strong climbing roses. With them I al-
ways select long shoots and discard the
usual tip. Wood is always ripe enough
to use when the thorns can be broken
off evenly without lifting the bark from
the stem. This is an old rule and a
good one. In a general way, it is much
easier to bud successfully on young than
on did stock. A difference of a season
makes a big difference in the way such
stock must be handled, and also in the
chances for success in the work.

On a heavy stock, even when it is in
the best growing condition, it is not
so easy to have it unite with a young
eye that would be suitable for a smaller
and younger stock. In this case eyes
should be selected from older scions and
greater care taken in the tying. A
union is never made so quickly as be-

tween the younger stock and the inserted
bud, and the tendency to stay dormant
is much lengthened. This I think is the
rule with almost everything in the plant
lino.

Treatment of the Buds.

A few growers, especially among the
older generation, still persist in remov-
ing the wood from the bud. It certainly
appears more logical to unite bark with
wood than to expect the wood in the
bud to unite with the wood of the stock.
There are two objections to this method.
The first is the extra time taken, and the
other is that there is always danger of
taking the root out of the eye when
taking out the wood, in which case it is
of course worthless. If the eye is cut
as thin as possible and enough stiffness
is still left to insert it, there is no
trouble in having a perfect union be-
tween the bud and the stock. I have
noticed, however, that the eyes from
which the wood has been abstracted have
a greater tendency to grow out almost
immediately than those from which the
wood was left in, every other condition
being the same in both cases.

This fact can be taken advantage of
in particular cases, but for the ordinary i
run of budding it is now not generally
resorted to. G.

SAN FRANOSCX).

The Market.

Cooler weather prevails, and flowers
are coming into town better, both in
color and strength of stem. Sweet peas,
which have been neglected to a great ex-
tent by many of the growers, are now
scarce, and what few good peas are
seen are eagerly bought. The outlook

for asters, some few of which have made
their appearance, is not very favorable.
Many of the growers have almost en-
tirely neglected their patches, and as a
consequence there will be a good many
poor flowers sent into town. A few
dealers have gone to the usual amount
of trouble, and from present indications
it appears that there will be a very
fair demand for good stock. The same
conditions are manifest with the chrysan-
themum crop, and as I stated before, it
will not total over one-half the usual
quantity.

Business has been very fair, consider-
ing the conditions here. There has been
a good quantity of funeral work well
distributed, with a fair amount of wed-
ding and other orders.

In Oakland the retailers report every-
thing fully up to the mark for this
season of the year, with prospects for a
good fall trade. The price of green-
house crops is about the same as that

Plant Now LILIUM HARRISII for Early Forciog

We offer some extra choice Llllfcn Hanlsll which has been grown for us from the original, pure stock. This is the kind
of stock that you want for the very earliest forcing, as it is th. true, original Harrlsii. The small sizes— 5 7s and 6-78—
are particularly desjrable for this purpose, as they will flower more quickly than the larger bulbs. It' you want to get
a little of the original, pure Uarrisii. try a case or two of this. As our stock of this is limited we can nffer only a few
ca»es to a single buyer'. If you have been dissatisfied with the Harrlsii that you have forced heretofore, try a case or
two of this and see if it is not moie than worth the difference in price over the ^tock that you have been buying. In
ordering ask for the puie selected strain of original Harrlsii, which we offer as follows:

5 to 7-lnoh bulbs, 400 to tbe case, $17.00 per case.

6 to 7>lncb bulbs, 850 to tbe case, 17.50 per case.

7 to 9-lnoh bulbs, 200 to tbe case, 18.00 per case.
0 to 11-incta bulbs, 100 to tbe case, 18.00 per case.

EASTER CaMES EARLY THIS YEAR-MARCH 31

and a great many growers will want to use Harrlsii instead of Longiflorum so as to be sure and have the plants in
flower in time, as the season is going to be shon for Japan Longiflorum. The crop of Harrlsii this year is the shortest
It has been in years, and in view of the extra demand, we advise those who have not already covered their require-
ments to lose no time doing so.

For very earliest forcing— Christmas and later— we recommend the pure Harrlsii offered above, but for later
forcing for Easter, our customers will find the regular stock offered below first-class stock— much better than the aver-
age stock usually offered. We can quote the regular stock as follows:

6 to 7-lnob bulbs, 850 to tbe case, $14.00 per case.

7 to 9-lnob bulbs, 200 to tbe case, 15.00 per case. I'
9 to 11-inob bulbs, 100 to tbe case, 15.00 per case.

DELPHINIUMS.

My hybrid delphiniums and those of
many places near pie are badly affected
with some disease attacking both flow-
ers and foliage.'- The blooms are bull-
headed, bunching together and often
turning black. Sometimes this affects
only one part of the flower spike, the
remaining part be!ng almost normal.
The foliage becomes thickened, curled
and inclined to turn brown or black.
What causes it and what cures it?

W. C. E.

Bordeaux mixture one year, but it did
not seem to do any good; I think it was
not started early enough. I would ad-
vise replanting the clumps in fresh soil,
^and think the disease will not reappear.
If this has been tried and has failed,
spraying with Bordeaux mixture once a
week after the middle of April will be
beneficial. The disease is a coomion
one; we do not know whether any of the
experiment stations have investigated it
or not. We have all seen it on clumps
which have not been transplanted for
several years; seedlings seem almost im-
mune from it. W. N. C. I

The trouble with delphiniums is quite
general, jnore especially with the named
hybrid rorts which have been propagated
by root division. We have had seedlings
affected, but to a much less extent. The
cause of the disease we are unable to
more than guess at. The method of
propagation may be one cause; we have
found that a change of soil every third
year keeps the hybrids free from it.
In 1903 our plants were badly affected,
but on being replanted the fall of the
same year in a new location, where
delphiniums had not been grown before,
the trouble vanished and has not ap-
peared since.

We tried persistent spraying with

The Market

The demand for flowers during the last
week has been good for this season of
the year, and was far in excess of the
supply. Sweet peas and Maid roses
were the most plentiful, but it was only
at times that they did not sell out en-
tirely. White blooms of all kinds found
a ready market, and sold out at good
prices for this time of year. A few
asters are seen now and then, and they
bring about $1 per hundred. It will
not be long now till asters will be here
in quantity, and we are looking forward
to that time with pleasure, as they are
greatly needed.

Rain seems to be the order of the
day; during the last week it has been
coming down in torrents. There has
liardly been a day when it has not
rained hard. It is to be hoped that we
are not getting the entire summer's sup-
ply in one week, thus leaving us with
a dry August and September. All out-
door stock is looking so fine now that it
would be too bad to have it burned up
as it is some summers.

The Outing.

The florists' outing was favored with
fine weather, and over two hundred of
the craft, with their wives and children,
were at Nofwood Inn Park bent on en-
joying themselves to the utmost. All
of the sports went off in fine shape,
and when the day was over every one
voted the trip to have been one round
of pleasure.

The feature of the day was the ball
game for the men in the afternoon.
Two good teams had been formed,
and they set to with the intention of
winning. The sun was very hot, so it
was decided to play but seven innings.
The score was fourteen to three in favor
of Harry Baer's team. The features
of the game were the home run
of Chas. Pfeiffer and the base run-
ning of J. W. Kodgers. The latter was
nearly overcome by the heat, and was
obliged to retire from the game before
it was concluded. The bowling contests
for both ladies and men were greatly
enjoyed, and the foot races furnished
sport for all. At supper time Ben
George and D. Kusconi sprung a sur-
prise on the picnickers by passing
aronnd fine boiled lobsters to the entire
party. In the evening there were music
and daecing, and it was a late hour be-
fore the last person had departed.

Various Notes.

Sunderbruch & Meier intend to con-
stnict three 100-foot houses this fall, in
which they will grow roses for summer
blooming.

July 2G, 1906.

OMAHA.

Cut flowers have Ijeen plentiful and
are becoming more so every day, as out-
door stock is in, and as the new roses
are beginning to make their apj)earance,
especially Beauties, which have been
scarce and poor. Trade has been
fairly good for the summer months,
and the florists seem always busy with
something; as a whole, we have nothing
to complain about.

The Nebraska State Horticultural So-
ciety held its annual summer meeting
here July 11 and 12 in the pavilion at
Hanscom park. The meeting was one
of the most successful the society ever
held. There was a large attendance, with
representatives from all parts of the
state, with many good papers read and
discussed with interest, also a fine dis-
play of plants, cut flowers and fruits.

The second day the society was enter-
tained by the Omaha Florists' Club,
which had provided automobiles to take
the visitors for a ride about the city
parks and boulevards, which proved to be
a very swift and enjoyable feature of
the meeting, which ended at Mr. and
Mrs. P. B. Floth's new residence and
greenhouses, where lunch and refresh-
ments were served. L. H.

Dayton, O.— F. W. Eitter lias been ill
for a month, and is only now able to at-
tend to business.

Junction City, Kan. — W. P. Kanson
is building an addition to his plant this
summer. The new house is to be 21x40
feet. Lettuce and radishes will be grown
in it.

Ottawa, Ont. — W. A. Dier has built
two small greenhouses for the purpose
of gaining experience, after which he
purposes to build a largo commercial
range.

G.VI.VESTOX. Tex. — Charles Eickholt,
who has continued the flower business of
Mrs. Eickholt since that estimable lady 's
death, filed a petition in bankruptcy
July 21.

ToPEKA, Kan. — J. E. Rodman is plan-
ning to build a large addition to his pres-
ent greenhouse plant. The new building
will be an ell, one wing being 24x50, the
other 22x90.

The Weekly Rorists^ Review*

July 26, 190ti.

TWIN QTIES.

Trade is ijiiie} ami there is very little
doing outside of funeral work. Stock
is scarce, and good rosoH and carna-
tions are hard to get. Prices are be-
ing kept up nicely by tlie large dealers,
but the small ones will sell for what
they can get.

The principal event among the trade
lately was the Twin City florists' picnic,
held Thursday, July 19. A general good
time was enjoyed by about 200 florists
and their families.

Tlie steamer Hiawatha and barge were
chartered for the occasion and a most
enjoyable time was spent, in a run down
the Mississippi to Red Kock. The com-
mittee which managed the excursion was
composed of E. Nagel, R. A. Latham, C,
Henderson, of Minneapolis, and O. J.
Olson. Henry Puvogel, N. C. Hansen,
Carl Haugen, of St. Paul. Following
were the winners of the athletic events:
Boys' race < under 12 years) E.
Bergstrom; girls' race (under 12
years). Anastasia Dill; boys' race
(under 1(5 years), Louis Frangen;
young ladies' race, Helen Latham;
married ladies' nail driving con-
test, Mrs. Busch; obstacle race for
employees, Ueorge Radtz; 100-yard dash
for employers, O. J. Olson; shooting con-
test, Carl Peterson; prize waltz on boat,
Julius Neutzling and Miss Guerenz;
mother's race, JNIrs. CJeorzmeier. The
liowliug contest l)etween the St. Paul
and Minneapolis teams will take place
later. The trade should not forget the
local merchants who so generously con-
tributed to the success of the picnic.

The trade wishes to sympathize with
Carl Johnson, manager of the cut
flower department of the Powers Mer-
cantile Co., Minneapolis, in the death of
his wife, which occurred at Bethesda
hospital. St. Paul, Friday, July 20.

During the last week we have had
splendid growing conditions, with

and will soon be plentiful.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

JULX 2«, 1906.

-ELBERON.N.J.

The first flower show of the Elberon
Horticultural Society was held July 13
and 14, in the fire company's building.
There were fifty-three classes of exhibits
in the premium list, and all but six had
entries. The show was attended by large
crowds during the . full two days, the
summer cottagers being much interested.

The exhibits occupied two floors and
the basement of the building. The sec-
ond floor had cut flowers and rare plants,
the first floor bay trees, ferns and other
decorative plants, while in the basement
were vegetables and the geranium dis-
play.

Mrs. Thomas T. Kinney 's exhibits were
strong in outdoor fruit, herbaceous
plants, annuals and ferns. G. W. Young,
Samuel Sachs and Eugene Mayer, Fred-
erick Dittlinger gardener, had fine vege-
table displays. William Bryan's collec-
tion of roses took first prize. Special
certificates of merit were awarded Daniel
O'Day, A. Bauer gardener, one for
Standard Bay Rambler roses, another for
geraniums, box bush and heliotropes;
Mrs. T. T. Kinney, for dahlias and ferns,
exhibited by W. D. Bobertson; A. E.
Guggenheim, Herbert Hall gardener, Eex
begonias and fruit.

The judges, of the exhibit were Alex-
ander Mackenzie, Glen Cove, N. Y. ; H.
A. Kettell, of Oceanic, and John Frankie,
of Tuxedo Park.

The Elberon Horticultural Society was
organized last November. At present it
has seventy members, living in Long
Branch, Deal and Allenhurst. The pres-
ent officers of the society, to whom credit
is due for the success of the first flower
show, are: President, William D. Rob-
ertson; vice-president, Herbert Hall;
secretary, George Masson; treasurer,
James Kennedy; executive committee, A.
Bauer, H. Wood, A. Grieb, E. O'Rourke,
Frederick Dittlinger and J. Rallston.
The society holds monthly meetings at
the Elberon fire engine house.

BALTIMORE.

jjusiness is good. The supply of cut
flowers has been much shorter than the
demand for some weeks past, even such
common flowers as phlox, hollyhocks,
feverfew and other outside stuff selling
out from day to day. Business has
fallen off considerably since the latter
part of last week, and Cochet roses were
left over in quantities on Saturday.
Carnations are out of the question, a
few good white ones coming in, but
not nearly enough to supply the de-
mand. Asters have made their appear-
ance, but don't remain on sale long.
Funeral work is the chief source of trade
now. A. F.

HOUSE FOR LETTUCE, ETC

How many 2-inch pipes will be needed
to heat a house 21x40 feet, to grow let-
tuce, radishes or violets, using hot water.
The house abuts on others to the north
and oast, but the west side and south
end are exposed. I want to use 2-inch
pipe because the house will be used for
beaches. W. P. K.

The house 21x40 feet can be heated
sufficiently for lettuce, radishes or vio-
lets by nine runs of 2-ineh pipe, a riser
and three returns on the most protected
wall and a riser and four returns on the
exposed wall. That is assuming that the
water is maintained at 180 degrees.

L. C. C.

PIPING AND EXPANSION TANK.

Will you tell me how many runs of
lV4-inch pipe, what size flow, and what
capacity boiler, rated in horse-power,
are required to heat two connected even-
span houses, running east and west, one
to 54 degrees, the other to 58 degrees,
with an outside temperature of 10 de-
grees below zero, using hot water? The
houses are each 14x34 feet, 5-foot walls,
nine feet to ridges. The north wall
is boarded, the south has four feet of
glass, and the east end has glass gables.
There is a lean-to on the west 7%xl8
feet, 4-foot wall, 7-foot ridge, with two
feet of glass in the wall. The boiler
shed is at the northwest corner. Where

should the highest and lowest points in
the system be located, and where should
the expansion tank be connected!

L. C. B.

The houses in question, 14x34 feet,
can be heated by one 1%-inch flow
through each house, with twelve 1%-
inch returns in the house to carry 58
degrees, and eleven pipes in the one to
carry 54 degrees. The highest point
should be at the most distant point in
the system from the boiler, i. e., an
"up-hill" system. The lowest point
should be the main return where it enters
the boiler. The expansion tank should
connect with the main return near the
boiler. L. C. C.

PIPING IN FOUR HOUSES.

I have four greenhouses, and should
like to know how many runs of 1^4 -inch
pipe it will take to heat each house. One
is 15x60, and is for geraniums; one is
20x60, to grow carnations; another one,
20x60, will be in palms; and the fourth,
15x25, will be used for carnations. We
never have lower than 4 degrees below
zero. E. W.

If this plant is to be heated with hot
water at ISO degrees, the houses 20x60
feet, intended for geraniums and carna-
tions, can be heated by installing a 2-inch
flow and sixteen 1^-inch returns in each
house. The palm house should be more
heavily piped. A 2%-inch riser and
eighteen 1^4 -inch returns will serve for
this house. The house 15x25 feet should
have a I'^-inch flow or riser and fourteen
I^-inch returns, to provide a safe
amount of radiation. L. C. C.

HEATING SCATTERED HOUSES.

I have one house 20x100, three-quarter
span, 6-foot north wall, 3-foot south
wall, with eighteen inches of glass, and
an 11-foot ridge. It has raised benches
and is heated by two 2i/^-inch overhead
flows, and eight 2-inch returns under
the benches. Another house, south of
the first but not connected, is 11x100,
with 7-foot ridge and solid beds. It i^
heated by one 2^ -inch overhead flow,
and three 2-inch returns under the
walks.

I intend to build a house 25x100 two
feet south of the second house. The
new one will have a 2-foot north wall
and a 3-foot south one, an 8-foot ridge,
and fourteen inches of glass in the
walls. The small, middle house is only
temporary, and I shall build a larger
one in the 16-foot space later. The
houses will be used for lettuce.

My boiler is at the northwest corner,
and is a Kroeschell No. 3. How can I
carry water across the ends of the three
houses, thirty-five feet, and heat the
new house? Is a 4-inch main flow, tak-
ing off 2%-inch flows for the houses,
large enough? Can I return by 2-inch
pipes, connected with a 4-inch main re-
turn? The bottom of the boiler will be
six feet below the floor. Please describe
the size and arrangement of pipes I
need. How many returns will a 3-inch
flow and a 2^ -inch flow take care of?
How large and how high ought the ex-
pansion tank to be? B. A. B.

If, as I suppose, you have a potting
shed covering the ends of all three houses,
with the boiler at one corner, a 4-inch
main flow from the boiler past the center

house, and a 3 -inch flow from that point
to the far end of the new house, will
undoubtedly provide the necessary heat
for the radiation in the plant. The new
house 25x100 feet will need a 3-inch
flow and nine 2-inch returns to maintain
a lettuce temperature. The only fault
is the length of the run from the boiler
through the new house, 135 feet, which
is too long for the best results with
hot -water. In your climate, however,
there should be no difficulty in doing
the work with the boiler specified. If
the boiler could be a little more centrally
located, the runs could be shortened
and a greater efficiency secured.

A 2% -inch flow pipe will supply heat
for 600 square feet of radiation, i. e.,
960 lineal feet of 2-inch pipe, while a
3-inch pipe will supply heat for 900
square feet of radiation, or 1,440 lineal
feet of 2-inch pipe. The expansion tank
should have fifty to sixty gallons capac-
ity, and should be elevated as high as
convenience will allow, ten or twelve feet
above the highest point in the heating
system. L. C. C.

BOILER CAPAQTY AND PIPES.

I have two houses each 19x50, five feet
to gutter, nine and one-half feet to ridge;
one lean-to 9x40, five feet to gutter, seven
feet to ridge; one house 34x60, five feet
to gutter and seventeen and one-half feet
to ridge. A dwelling house abuts on the
end of one of the houses 19x50. My
boiler room is at the opposite end of the
range, on the corner of the large house.
The latter is to be used for carnations.
The large house has no glass below the
gutter. The others are glass above three
and one-half feet.

Can I heat these with a steam boiler,
using hot water, ten feet by thirty-six
inches, with twenty-eight 3-inch flues?
It is return flue style, and is bricked in.
The two houses 19x50 are piped with
4-inch soil pipe, and the lean-to with
2-inch pipe. Can I connect onto this
4-inch piping? How shall I arrange the
pipes in the house 34x60 feet? W. P.

The boiler in question, if used as a
water heater, will have ample capacity
to provide heat for maintaining a proper
temperature in all of the four houses

noted. Whether or not this is accom-
plished will depend upon the radiation
in the houses and the firing of the boiler.
The house 34x60 feet can be heated
by using nineteen runs of 2-inch pipe,
extending the length of the house. These
can be arranged in manifolds of four
pipes, each supplied by an independent
flow, the flows carried either overhead or

ALCOHOL AS FUEL.

Can you tell me how many units of
heat there are in a gallon of denatured
alcohol, and how many units there are in
a ton of hard or soft coal? I am think-
ing of building a range of greenhouses
of about 10,000 or 12,000 feet of glass,
and wonder if it could be heated with
alcohol. I am now using hard coal; it
cost me a little over $.'500 last winter to
heat 6,000 feet of glass. I am looking
at the difference there would be in the
work to be done. S. N. M.

From the best information at hand, I
learn that the heat units in a pound of
alcohol are just about the same as in
a pound of the best bituminous coal. In
order to compete with coal at present
prices as fuel, the alcohol would have to
•sell for from 3 to 4 cents per gallon.

SPRINGFIELD, OHIO.

At the second gathering of the florists
of Springfield and vicinity, held to form
8ome kind of organization, on Monday
evening, July 16, reports were receive<l
from committees appointed at the initial
meeting, and a constitution and by-laws
were adopted. The name of the organiza-
tion is to be The Springfield Florists'
Club, and regular meetings will be
held on the second Monday evening of
each month.

Officers to serve for one year were
elected as follows: John M. Good,
president; Boger H. Murphy, vice-presi-
dent; Chas. W. Schmidt, secretary; and
Roy McGregor, treasurer. An entertain-
ment committee was appointed, which
has since announced the first picnic, to
be held at Eichholz Park, on Thursday,
August 2.

The Daily News of July 20 states,
"Big hay wagons were used to carry
fifty-six of the employees of the Good
& Reese Co., with their families, to
Clifton Friday morning, where they are
holding their picnic. The day is being
spent in playing ball and other outdoor
sports. ' '

A new record was established this
season by the Leedle Floral Co., which
made its first shipment of young rose
plants from early summer propagation
on July 11, new stock not ordinarily be-
ing expected to be in shipping condition
until early fall.

MASON QTY, lA.

The Perry Florists' Association held
its summer meeting July 17, 18 and 19,
at the greenhouses of A. L. Wheeler.
As in the past, the meeting was profit-
able, and was enjoyed by those present.
The evening of the first day a musical
program was given. The next morning
a trolley ride was taken to Clear Lake,
followed by a sail on the lake in the
afternoon.

At the business session on the third
day, presided over by President Wheeler,
a paper on carnations, from the Albert
Lea Floral Co., of Albert Lea, Minn.,
was read. An invitation from the New
Hampton Floral Co., New Hampton, la,,
to hold the mid-winter meeting at its
place of business, was read and ac-
cepted. W. S. Hall, Sec 'y.

I FIND the Review very interesting
and useful. — H. Huebner, Groton, Mass.

FOR YEARS

srreenhouse builders have been striv-
ing for lighter houses, realizing that
all other things being eaual, the
houte admitting the greatest amount
of light, gave correspondingly greater
returns, whether It be of flowers,
fruits or vegetables.

U-BAR GREENHOUSES

Are the Best Qreenhouses Built

because they solve the Increased
light problem— by a 2t-lncb spacing
of glass, and with one-half the shad-
ing members.

TBE TEST OF DURABILITY

Durability in greenhouse material is of first
importance. It is expensive and tiresome to be
constantly rebuilding and repairing — trying to
patch up houses built of poor material.

If you want lasting houses get material that
stands the test. Our cypress material will stand
the most critical examination or comparison.

H(«tia( Apparatu*.

Though not cultural notes, I want to
say a word about your heating ap-
paratus. In the rush at the end of May
when you cease firing, your hot water
heaters' and steam boilers are top often
neglected. In the case of hoi "water
cSsTiron beaters the interior surfaces
of the heater, all that you can ^et at,
should be given a good coat of oil, also
nil doors and binges. It need not be
new linseed oil; any waste oil that has
been used on journals will do. There
is 'more abuse and wear on theae heat-
ers during the dampneas of summer than
in the use of them , in .winter.
Cast-iron heaters and pipes should be
kept at all times full of water. Proper
care of these most important implements
ly save you much future expense.
WiLLUAM Scott.

Your Friend
Mr. Scott

G.

Gives some right-down sound advice in that clipping, but there's a
possible exception to be taken in filling the boiler and pipes where
boiler cellars are damp and cool, as the boiler will then sweat and
entirely defeat the purpose of the oil. Our experience has proven that
neither rule is absolutely right — conditions of your cellar must govern it.

Lord & Burniiam Go.

Gr««nh<

But there'a one thin; we do know absolutely,
and that Is If you wait until next fall to repair
your heating plant or order a new boiler, you are
going to be held up in the fall rush -so get at it
now, it doesn't cost any more and what is the
use of eTerlastingly putting It off ?

Harrisii Lilies.

A very imijortant article in our busi-
ness has just arrived, the Bermuda
lilies. Get them potted at once. For
5x7 bulbs 5-inch pots will do; for 7x9
bulbs 6-inch pots will pay best. Use
a good loam or decayed sod, but avoid
fresh manure. Cover each bulb, leaving
only the top visible at the surface of
the soil. Place outdoors and cover with
two inches of stable litter, sandy soil
or some material that will keep the sun
from parching them every day. They
should also be in a frame, so that in ease
of a wet time they can be covered with
sashes. They should not be taken into
the houses until the growth appears
above the temporary covering.

There often is a failure with these
early forced lilies. Most often it is the
inability to give them a high tempera-
ture in November and December, but
often it is because the bulbs are lifted
too soon, when the stem and foliage are
yet green. The Bermuda growers doubt-
less are anxious to be early on tlie mar-
ket. It is a mistake. All bullmns plants
should 1)0 allowed to be thorouglily rijK!
before being lifted or the growtli arrest-
ed. The philosojihy of this is that while
flowering, and for several weeks after-
ward, the foliage is helping the bnlh be-
low to store up sustenance and dormant
vigor for another year. So if these l)ulbs
are dug when the stem and leaves are
still performing their function, ami stor-
ing up for future energy, you can 't
expect good results.

Last winter a brother florist told me
that lie heard from a Philadelphian, one
of the foremost in the country, the fol-
lowing experience: This Philadclpliia
man exported to a customer in p]urope a
thousand or more Lilium Harrisii in Au-
gust and for some reason or other they
were refused. The Philadelphian at
once cabled to his foreign customer to
ship the lilies back again to this country,
and they were potted and forced and
turned out the most satisfactory he had.
I can only see one lesson from this ex-
perience; that is, that in the time taken
by the ocean voyage and other delays the
bulbs had been ripening, so if the bulbs
on arrival look green, unpack and lay out
in flats with a little sand or dry soil be-
neath them and enough of the same ma-
terial around them to about cover the
bulbs. In this condition they can re-
main a month before potting.

And this brings us to the question
whether it is advisable to give them a
soaking with water as soon as potted or
whether it is better to let them remain
a month without water in the dry soil.
Surrounded with the soil in the pots, and
covered with the mulch over the pots, the
bulbs will certainly not suffer. We have
never tried this on any of the longiflorum
type of lilies, but we have on the spe-
ciosum or lancifolium class, and found
it a good plan. When received they
were potted and placed under a bench
and not a drop of water given them, and
as they started they were lifted to the
light. The premature lifting of the lily

bulb is the cause of much disappoint-
ment in forcing these beautiful plants.

Asters.

Don't let your asters suffer for want
of water at this season. We have had an
acre of which we were very proud, and
then a long, dry August set in, and we
had nothing but a crop of single flowers.
A sprinkling is no good. They want a
thorough irrigation or you will not get
good flowers.

Carnations.

Our experience in western New York
is that this is the ideal time to house
carrat'.ons from the field. The plants
may not be large; that is of no con-
sequence. They have lots of time to
grow indoors. The growth is hard and
short-jointed. If they lose a few fibres
they don't feel it, for they have not
much growth to support, and how they

do enjoy the change from the parched
ground in the field to the genial mois-
ture of the bench! How different from
the soft, succulent growth of Septem-
ber that, with p(^rfect lifting and in-
side treatment, for a few days wilts
down daily and takes all the vitality out
of their leading shoots, which should
produce flowers. How we have pro-
gressed in the cultivation of this most
popular flower!

Hollyhocks.

I am reminded that this is a good
time to sow hollyhocks. The disease is
still with us; so bad is it that we are
discouraged. W. W. Wilmore, of Den-
ver, tells me it is not known in Colo-
rado. In our severe winters the seed-
lings will not stand the winters out-
doors, so it is well to sow in drills in a
frame, where they can be covered with
sashes, or evergreen brush, or straw.
Every retail greenhouse man is asked for
them and it is diflBcult to procure good
plants. Procure the best strain of seed
you can and you will have no difficulty
in selling all the plants you raise. The
day is past when the hollyhock flowers
are used singly for any purpose, but as
spikes they are in demand for large deco-
rations and for mixed borders. Against
shrubbery they are majestic and pictur-
esque, far moje so than the formal dahlia.

FERTILIZERS FOR CARNATIONS.

Will you kindly inform me as to what
is the best fertilizer to mix with the
soil for carnations? I have some blood,
bone and potasii. Would you use it in
mixing? Is pure bone dust a good
fertilizer? W. B.

I should prefer to use the blood, bone
and potash later on as a top-dressing,
when the plants need feeding. Before
planting your carnations on the benches,
mix into the soil some pure ground
bone. Twenty-five to thirty-five pounds
to 500 square feet of bench space is
enough. There are so many brands and
grades of ground bone that one some-
times is undecided what to buy. For
several seasons we uaeil a very finely
ground bone flour. This is quick in
action because it is ground so fine,
and becomes soluble so much qiiicker.
For quick results it is excellent. Of
late years, however, we have been using
a coarser grade, called pure ground bone.
This is ground about as fine as corn
meal, and contains particles as large as
bird shot, as well as a good proportion
of dust. This grade will give more
lasting results, as it takes some time for
the coarser particles to become soluble.

Bone meal is considered by far the
safest and best fertilizer to mix into
the soil at planting time. All others
are added later on a.s top-dressing, or
in liquid form as they are needed. The
main thing is to get good, pure bone
meal that has not been cut with acids.

RED SPIDER ON CARNATIONS.

I am sending you samples of some
carnation plants 1 have just received.
On unpacking them they showed brown
on the tips of the foliage. I planted
them immediately on getting them, and
gave them good attention. They did not
have a good color when they arrived,
('an you tell me what is the matter with
them? B. F. K.

The plants are badly affected with red
spider, and if these plants are a fair
sample of the lot, then you are likely to
have much trouble before you are
through with them. From the looks of
the plants I judge they are Mrs. Lawson
or one of its sports. These varieties are
poor shippers, even when they are
healthy, and when they are handicapped
in this way you may be sure there will
be plenty of trouble. You will find- that
they will lose most of the foliage and
it will take fine culture to saive the
plants and get them under way in time
to be profitable. Last season we bought
,100 Lawson, which were afilicted the
same way when they arrived, and they
were an eyesore to us all winter.

I advise you to put supports on them
at once, and then syringe them with a
strong, cutting spray from both sides
every day. Be careful to wet the soil
no more than you want it wet normally.
After they have been planted a couple
of weeks, if they have taken hold of the
soil, use the soap solution which I recom-
mended recently. Take off the dead
foliage when it is quite dry, as it will
then break off readily without tearing
the bark from the stems. Don 't use any

CARNATION TEMPERATURES,

I have two carnation houses. One runs
at about 50 degrees, the other 56 de-
grees. Mv carnations are William
Scott, Louise, Enchantress and Genevieve
Lord. Which of these shall I put in
the cooler house, and which in the
warmer! W. A. L.

None of the varieties you mention
will do well in as warm a temperature
as 56 degrees. I should hate to attempt
to grow carnations in a house in which
I could have no more control over the
temperature. If there is no other way
to keep the temperature down, you can
arrange to open part of the ventilators
a trifle. The best plan perhaps would be
to procure enough plants of the various
colors of Lawson and its sports to fill
that house. These will thrive in 56 de-
grees. None of your varieties should
have over 52 degrees under ordinary con-
ditions. Queen Louise and Genevieve
Lord, however, would likely suffer the
least. You ought to be able to cut out
any pipe on your place except the mains.

A. F. J. B.

HINTS ON CARNATIONS.

Will you please give me the day and
night temperatures for the following list
of carnations, also any special points
of difference in their culture: Pink Law-
son, White and Variegated Lawson, En-

I'omes. Mrs. Lawson and her sports
will stand liberal feeding when in good
health, and so will Fenn. Enchantress
does not like much feeding, as it has a
tendency to make the blooms soft. The
same is true of Nelson Fisher. Lady
Bountiful, if grown too wet and fed
unduly, will have considerable pink
mottling in the bloom. Grow this just
a little dry when in full bloom. Don't
top it too late either, else your first crop
will be quite late. Watch close for
thrips on the Lawson tribe; they are
their special favorites. A. F. J. B.

CONVENTION PROGRAM.

The preliminary program for the
twenty-second annual convention of the
Society of American Florists has just
been issued. It announces that in ac-
cordance with the instructions voted by
the society last year in Washington, a
system of numbered badges and key-
book to correspond has been put into
operation this year under the direction
of the executive board. It ia believed
that the members will find these num-
bers valuable as a convenient means of
identification of one another. The names
of all new members joining prior to
July 15 this year, have been included
in the list. Each member of the society
will be supplied with a copy of the book.

The opening session is set for Tues-
day, August 21, 2 p. m. The opening
session will be devoted to an address of
welcome by Mayor Chas. F. Snyder, re-
sponse by ex-President Patrick O'Mara;

Main Street Bddge and the High School, Dayton, O.

chantress, Harry Fenn, Lady Bountiful
and Nelson Fisher. M. S. C.

The following temperatures will suit
your varieties admirably: Mrs. T. W.
Lawson and all its sports, 54 to 56 de-
grees; Enchantress, 48 to 52 degrees;
Harry Fenn, 50 to 52 degrees; Lady
Bountiful, 50 to 52 degrees; Nelson
Fisher, 54 to 56 degrees. I shall ask
you to read my answer to B. A. M. in
last week's issue in regard to the texture
of your soil.

Aside from the difference in tempera-
ture, the varietie.s require pretty much
the same treatment until feeding time

the annual address of the president, and
reports of secretary, treasurer, state
vice-presidents, committees, and other of-

HARDY PLANT NOTES.

Best Sorts for Florists.

The majority of florists, more espe-
cially those doing a local trade, grow a
number of the more useful hardy peren-
nials for cuttings. In addition to their
value for this purpose many customers
by seeing them nicely grown will be
tempted to buy roots of them, and as:
the majority of these plants increase
quickly and can be divided readily they
form a satisfactory investment. In
growing hardy plants, as indeed any
class of plants, it pays to handle a few
of the best sorts only. It is poor policy
to pay $3 per hundred for an old and
inferior phlox, for instance, when a sim-
ilar investment in one-fourth the num-
ber of a first-class sort will put more
money in your pocket.

There is still time to sow seeds of a
number of perennials and biennials for
flowering another season, including del-
phiniums, aquilegias, sweet williams,
hesperis, campanulas of sorts including
Canterbury bells, hibiscus, digitalis and
many others. Sow in light soil in cold-
frames in rows six inches apart. Shade
the sashes with whitening and kerosene
in preference to lime wash. Tilt them
up top and bottom to insure plenty of
air, water daily unless the weather is
damp and the seeds will soon appear;
when nicely up pull the sashes ofF nights
and dull days, also for any gentle show-
ers, but keep them covered during heavy
downpours which will wash them badly.
Gradually inure them to full sunlight
and transplant into other frames or
spare ground outside during damp
weather. Keep the hoe well plied among
them and keep weeds down, and it is
really surprising what fine plants can be
had by fall. Subjoined are a few notes
on desirable plants for the general flo-
rists' trade. All are easily grown, free
blooming and perfectly hardy.

Malva moschata alba; flowers are pure
white, keep well in water and come in
splendidly for design work. Seed sown
now will give flowering plants for next
season. Blooms the last of June and
the early part of July. M. alcea, a deep
pink variety, is also pretty but less de-
sirable than M. moschata.

Lobelia Cardinalis.

Lobelia cardinalis, the brilliant and
well-known cardinal flower of our
swamps, is seldom seen on florists'
places. It is generally supposed that
this needs wet ground. While it luxuri-
ates on marshy land, it can also be finely
grown on high and comparatively dry
ground. Seed sowing in February in
heat is a good method of propagation.
The seedlings can be planted outdoors
by May 1 and a few will bloom the same
season. The second year they will make
a gorgeous show and even if the flowers
cannot be sold customers will be found
for the plants. The blue variety, L.
syphilitica, is a more robust grower than
L. cardinalis. Its densely flowered
spikes of dark blue flowers are very
effective in borders. The lobelias usual-
ly flower from the end of July until
September.

Lychnis.

Lychnis vospertina plena, or tlie
double evening campion, flowers over
quite a long period. It may be picked

High School and Soldiers' Monument at Dayton, O.

in June and continues blooming until
September. The double, scented flowers
arrange nicely in small vases and are
useful in design work when good carna-
tions and roses of the same color are
scarce and before asters come in. Sev-
eral others of the lychnis family should
be grown. L. Viscaria splendens, with
its double red, fragrant flowers, is fine
for cutting or making a mass display.
L. Chalcedonica, the old London pride,
grows a yard high and flowers in June
and July. Its brilliant flowers make it
a desirable border plant. L. Flos-cuculi
plenissima, with delicate soft pink
flowers, and L. Haageana in a variety
of shades, are both desirable and may
easily be raised from seeds sown now.

Delphinium.

Delphinium Chinense, intense blue
flowers with feathery foliage, and album,
a pure white form, are the best of the
larkspur family commercially. The
flowers are produced in open panicles
and may be had the whole summer. This
plant may either be treated as an an-
nual or perennial. If the latter the
spikes are gtronger and more numerous.
The flowers are of great value cut. They
look and last well. We think a small
bed of this would be of great value
to any florist who has any design work
or calls for cut flowers in July and
August.

Phlox Miss Lingard.

This is the best of the early or suf-
fruticosa section and perhaps the best
and most useful phlox in cultivation. It
can ho cut from the middle of June
until October. Flowers are pure white
except for a delicate lavender eye. The
stalks are strong and the flowers last
very well in water. It is readily propa-

gated from soft-wood cuttings either in
fall or spring. No up-to-date grower
should be without this grand sort. Sev-
eral forms are sold purporting to be
Miss Lingard which are not true to
name. They usually have deeply colored
eyes and a considerable suffusion of
color over the petals.

Achillea the Pearl.

Achillea Ptarmica the pearl is one of
the most widely grown of perennials
for summer flowering. It is so readily
propagated from the roots that once a
small bed is established all it needs is
occasional replanting or keeping within
bounds, as it spreads with alarming
rapidity. It is one of the perennials no
retail florist can well afford to do with-
out. It is splendid for cutting, and for
design work in July and August is of
great value. Varieties raised from seed
are liable to be single and of poor qual-
ity, but plants of the true tvpe are so
cheap that no one need be without them.

BROWN FLIES ON ASTERS.

What can I do to get rid of the
brown flies which are destroying my
asters? They seem to puncture the
stem just below the bud, causing the
bud to wilt and die. These flies are on
them in geat numbers and I am in dan-
ger of losing my whole crop. N. E. B.

We are not familiar with the brown
flies, although we have often been
troubled with the aster beetle. The
beetle eats the center petals of the
flowor and attacks them directly they
sliow color. They are a chewing insect
and a teaspoonful of Paris green in a
pail of water applied to the buds and

■ryv.''

foliage before the buds begin to expand
is the best 'remedy the writer knows of.
You would not term the aster beetle a
brown fly, so your trouble is most likely
an aphis of some kind. Any of the
nicotine extracts will prove a most ef-
fectual destroyer of the green and black
fly. They should be diluted with about
200 times their bulk of water and ap-
plied with the Eclipse compressed air-
sprayer, often called the knapsack

sprayer, a most useful little apparatus.
If you think it tedious to find out what
is a 200th part, fill the cylinder two-
thirds full of water, then add a 2-ineh pot
of the nicotine. This mixture is so color-
less that it does not stain the fairest
flower and is death to the a{)hi8 on
roses, carnations or chrysanthemums.
The spray is so fine and niistlike, and
it is so much diluted, that it is not at
all expensive. W. S.

THE RICHMOND ROSE.

From many sections of the country
comes the report that young plants of
the Richmond rose are still on the grow-
ers' hands, with the end of the plant-
ing season rapidly approaching. It ap-
pears that every grower who bought
stock of the introducer of Richmond
has the past season been propagating
for all he was worth. As every piece of
wood put into the sand roots and makes
a plant, the result is that every one has
stock to spare. It is the unanimous re-
port of growers that Richmond is easier
to propagate than any other rose now
largely grown. Next year the jtrii-e of
young stock Mill doubtless be no more
than moderate at the best.

MULCHING MIXTURES.

To get mulching material in good con-
dition for fall and winter use, it ought
to be prepared now, as the manure and
soil can be obtained in any condition
desirable. A compost consisting of two-
thirds decomposed cow manure and one-
third good, fibrous loam, should be put
into a neat pile for two or three weeks.
It should then be chopped uj» fine, uuich
finer than compost for roses, and turned
over two or three times at intervals of
ten days.

When it is in a fine, mellow conditictn,
it should be jtut through a -y, -inch
screen or a fine sod crusher, it is tiicn
ready for use and should be stored where
it will be protected from the cold fall
rains and snow. If bone meal or other
fertilizers are to be used, they can be
added at the time of applying.

Danger in Weeds.

While in the pile, and indeed at all
times, the material should be kept clear
of weeds, as these attract insects which
make them a depository for their eggs.

Material which has been lying neg-
lected and covered with weeds all sum-
mer is not fit to be put into the mulch
])ile, as it is invariably swarming with
thrips, red spider, etc., which delight in

such undisturbed quarters, and wliicii
multiply rapidly when taken into the
congenial temperature of the rose house.
I have no doubt that this accounts for
those swarms of thrips which make their
appearance in the houses during winter
and spring, as from personal observa-
tion I have found these pests become
more numerous just after an applica-
tion of mulch. By getting the material
ready now, it may save some hours of
anxious worry when the short, dark days
begin.

It will also be wise to look after the
soil required for potting the young stock.
Having the soil in good condition and
handy for this purpose constitutes one
of the first elements of success.

Need of Early Fire.

Our aim should be to bring the roses
into winter with plenty of good, vigor-
ous, well-ripened wood, not stunted or
soft and spindling. Many a crop of
flowers is lost, or at least seriously in-
jured, and often the prospects for the
whole of the winter months are ruined,
by not starting the fire in time. In
August and September we often will
have cliilly, wet days and nights. Do
not neglect to run a little heat througli
the houses, if it is only to take the chill
and danij)ness out of tlie air. It will
repay you with interest. You will not
have nmch trouble with niihU'w and
other fungous diseases. You also will
not be so niucji afraid to syinge when
you know that you will have the fire
going at iiiylit, so red spider will not
j/et a start, which means much by No-
vember, when the weather conditions
may be so that you will not dare to
syringe sometimes for a week or nu)rc.

Place to Cut.

Meanwhile the roses liave been kept
nicely tied uj), all the weaker stems dis-
iHidded or cut back and we are beginning
to cut some flowers from some of the
strongest shoot.'^. The stems should not
be cut too low on the young roses, leav-
ing four to six eyes, according to the

condition of the plants, while weak stems
may be cut lower or cut out entirely. As
the plant grows stronger the practice
of cutting two or three eyes is the best
with most varieties, Beauties being an
exception, as most of the flower stems
come from the base, or near the bottom,
of the plant, and should be left with
four to eight eyes. It is impossible to
cut the flowets by any formula or set
rule; the difference in varieties and the
condition of the plants varies so much
tiiiit almost each individual plant de-
mands a ditferent way of cutting.

This apparently simple operation is
accountable in a large measure for our
high or low grades of flowers. I find
it more difficult to teach the cutting of
the flowers than the watering, or any
other operation pertaining to rose cul-
ture.

Temperature and Ventilation.

The temperature most suited to our
tea roses is from .I;! to 58 degrees at
night and (i() to (iS degrees in (lay. On
exce|»tionally liright days the tempera-
ture may go ui» to 70 or 75 degrees,
lieauties are kept about 2 degrees
warmer.

The airing or ventilating of the rose
houses is of great importance during
the whole year; particularly during the
fall, winter and spring they need very
close watching. It often happens that
the ventilation has to be changed four
or five times an hour. Good judgment
is necessary in airing. Never raise the
ventilation too much at one time, but
go around often and raise it by de-
grees. Avoid all sudden changes and
draughts; a cold draught of air admitted
suddenly is apt to check the plants and
cripple the flowers, besides causing mil-
dew, and may mean a setback for a
month or six weeks. This mistake is
most apt to occur in tho early morn-
ing hours, when the sun commences to
strike the glass, and may be partially
avoided by shutting down the fires as
soon as the sun appears, raising the
ventilation ])art of an inch and so
gradually raising the temi)erature of
the house.

Watering and Mulching.

The beds must be frequently examined
during the cold weather. They may
appear moist on top, while heat from
the pipes has dried them from below.
Always water so that the moisture pene-
trates to the bottom and then let the
bench alone until a good watering is
lu'eiled again. Of course there are al-
ways places wliich need a little extra
water between times, but the grower will
soon find those places.

.Most growers give a light nudidi of
manure about the first of October or
earlier, and then no more until the
middle of February or March.

Artificial fertilizers, such as bone meal,
blood, wood ashes or lime, arc used dur-
ing the winter months. A light water-
ing Avith liquid manure beginning in
.January and used every two or three
weeks is a great stimulant. Artificial
fertilizers should be used with great
caution, particularly by beginners. It
is easily overdone. Use a little at a
time, and so ascertain the amount most
beneficial. From the middle of March
on manure and manure water, or any
(juick acting fertilizer, can be used more
freely without injury.

Mtich more could be said of every
operation in the culture of roses, but it

would take too much time to enter into
every detail.

Diseases of Roses.

Among the many diseases the rose is
subject to, the most common and beat
known are mildew and black spot, both
being fungous diseasee. Sickly, poorly
ventilated or overfed plants are the first
attacked. The disease is produced by
sudden changes of the temperature,
draughts of air, too much atmospheric
moisture, and numerous other causes
mostly due to poor ventilation or heat-
ing.

To prevent them means to overcome
all these defects, which is possible, but
not so easily done. Mildew, to which
our teas are most susceptible, is the
easiest to combat. Sulphur on the pipes,
or dusted on the foliage, is the best
remedy. The American Beauty is most
susceptible to black spot. As a remedy,
carbonate of copper is recommended.
Air-slaked lime and sulphur are also
used, but it is best to pick off
all the spotted leaves as soon as
they appear and burn them, keep
sulphur on the pipes, give plenty of air ;
in short, work against the conditions
which have brought the diseases about.

losects on Roses.

The insects which infest roses and
come mostly to our notice are greenfly,
red spider, eel worm and thrips. The two
first named are easily kept down, green-
fly by proper ventilation, tobacco fumes
and the various forms of nicotine. Red
spider enjoys a warm and dry atmos-
phere, and its presence tells us that we
have not made the proper use of the hose.
Good, hard syringing on bright days, if
only done well once or twice a week,
is the best preventive and cure. Eel
worm, a pest which infests the roots and
means certain destruction to the plants,
can be kept in check by the use of lime
or lime water. Wherever it is present in
the soil, it is best to resort to grafted
plants, as Manetti is not susceptible to
eel worm.

The most troublesome of all is thrips.
It lodges in the buds and flowers. The
damage it does to rose growers amounts
to thousands of dollars every year. It
is in itself easily destroyed, but owing
to its habit of secreting itself, so far
nothing has been found which will ex-
terminate it, and at the same time not
injure the plants. Various insecticides
are recommended to keep them in check.
Those which appear to give the best
satisfaction are: Paris green diluted in
water, fumigation with tobacco and red
pepper, or the different nicotine extracts
used either on the heating pipes or on
the foliage; any of them means certain
death to the thrips if caught out of its
hiding place. It is therefore necessary
to continue to use these two or three
times a week if any satisfactory result
is expected.

Summing up the whole rose culture,
we find that whenever we do not observe
the laws governing a healthy plant
growth, we invite disease and insects to
feast on the roses, and thus curtail our
profits.

PAUL BERKOWITZ.

The Review takes pleasure in present-
ing this week the portrait of a friend
who will need no introduction to many
readers. Paul Berkowitz, of the firm of
H. Bayersdorfer & Co., of Philadelphia,
has hosts of friends in every state in the
Union and in Canada, who look forward
with pleasure to his visits each year. To
these any remarks of mine will seem su-
perfluous. For those less fortunate, let
me add, a man of tried integrity, com-
manding respect, whose genial personal-
ity draws men to him, a man to be
trusted and liked almost at sight, a man
whose happy laugh convinces you that
he is a boy at heart, and makes you glad
of it.

Mr. Berkowitz joined the firm of M. M.
Bayersdorfer & Co. in 1879, spending
three years in the florists ' supply busi-
ness, and then going south in another
line of business. In 1889 he returned to
the firm, then H. Bayersdorfer & Co.,
and he has since aided the present head
of the house in building up the business
to its present vast proportions. The
advent of these two young men to the
firm marked an epoch in the florists ' sup-
ply business of the whole countrv.

SHADE FOR FERNS.

We have planted on the south bench
of a three-quarter-span house, Boston,
Piersoni and Scottii ferns. Is it best
to shade these or give them the full sun-
light! We have a number of shutters
made of lath split in two. Would these
be good if shade is needed? On the
north bench we are growing in pots
Asparagus plumosus and Sprengeri. Is
it necessary to shade these? N. & T.

The Boston and Scottii ferns will cer-

tainly not be benefited by shade. If
you want to use the slat shades (the
best shading there is) for a few hours
on hot, bright days, it will help to keep
them the beautiful green which is
natural. Remember we are a month past
the time when the sun is most powerful
and every day it is receding. The
nephrolepis needs no shade if the roots
are not neglected for water. They are
natives of Central America and the
islands known as the West Indies.

The same can be said of our orna-
mental Asparagus plumosus and Spren-
geri. They nee<l no shade except to
preserve their color. It is late now to
apply shade for almost anything. After
our long, dark winters, when the sun
bursts forth with burning rays in April
and May is the time when the soft
foliage of plants is benefited by shade,
not now, when they are hardened to the
fullest light. W. S.

The Market.

The market remains about the same
as last week, except that sweet peas are
almost gone. The early asters are now
in full crop, and go a great way in lielp-
ing to make a show in the windows, as
roses can hardly be obtained. Carnations
still remain scarce, and what few come
in are soon taken up. Asters seem to be
free of disease this year, at least for the
present. In passing a large patch the
other day, we did not see one diseased
aster plant; all looked thrifty and
healthy. Most of the florists are busy
now clearing the houses of the old carna-
tion soil and repairing old benches.
Some have been planting for the last
two weeks. We have had two good rains

since tjie last report, and everything is
now growing finely.

Variotu Notes.

The I Missouri Floral Co. 's new store
at 920-922 Main street is in one of the
best locations on the street for a flower
store. .With C. E. Hunt in charge, they
will no doubt build up a fine trade in
a short time. They had quite a large
display of gladioli in their large show
window tnis week.

The store of Miss Peterson & Co., on
West Ninth street, has quite a neat ap-
pearance. This being the only store on
that good street and in that part of the
city, where most of the large office
buildings are located, they surely will
build up a large trade. A visit at the
store found them very busy grading
asters, of which they seemed to have
an abundance.

Mr. Fruedenthal has been busy this
week with funeral work. He seems to
have good luck, as most of the other
stores are idle and the clerks are com-
plaining of the trade being dull. The
day that we called on him his cooler
was well stocked with carnations and
asters, but no roses were in sight. He
had just received several large cases of
Boston ferns that were shipped in from
Independence, Mo. Mr. Fruedenthal
does a large business in ferns.

The W. L. Bock Flower Co. is mak-
ing quite a change in its Walnut street
store. The entire interior is being re-
modeled. They are putting in new fix-
tures and are doing away with their
counters, and rearranging so that they
mil have a great deal more room. The
wall will be paneled with burlap and
mirrors. They are also putting in a
fine mantel. Mr. Rock says that the
store as it used to be was entirely too
small, especially on holidays, to accom-
modate them. Their show window looks
quite yellow this week, being heavily
banked in Golden Glow, with all the
vases to match the window, which has
the appearance of chrysanthemum time.

Mr. Chandler is cutting asters by the
thousand, and supplying all stores that
are not growing any. What he does not
sell in that way he passes over to the
commission house, and Mr. Bastian does
the rest. Mr. Chandler also grows large
quantities of dahlias. He has a great
number of seedlings which he is now cut-
ting. They can be seen among the other
standard varieties he grows.

William A. Bastian, the commission
man, says business is quiet. There is
little demand for anything except fancy
ferns. Mr. Bastian doesn't seem to be
discouraged, for he knows that there are
better days coming.

The proprietors of the Monroe Green-
houses, 3701 East Seventh street, are
adding one more house, 25x90 feet, and
enlarging their boiler room. This is a
new firm, being only one year old. They
are growing mostly bedding plants, with
a few thousand carnations. Mr. Smith,
one of the proprietors, is well pleased
with the last spring's trade, and he
thinks the future is bright. Their loca-
tion is in the east part of the city,
with no opposition near and in a good
residence district. If properly managed,
they ought to build up a good trade.

PHmADELPHIA.

The Market

The increase in the supply of asters is
more pronounced than a week ago, mak-
ing the shortage of carnations lees ap-
parent, giving the buyers a chance to
take only the best and leaving a balance
of poor stock to be sold in job lots at
low prices. Gladioli are abundant, the
variety America being eagerly sought at
high prices. There is no change in the
supply of other flowers. The demand is
fair for the season, but irregular. Water
lilies and outdoor flowers are in over-
supply. There is no market for greens
and growers will do well to cut down
shipments of smilax and asparagus until
conditions change.

A Chat With Mr. Rice.

M. Eice, who has just returned from
Europe, consented to chat about his
trip for the benefit of the Review
readers. "But first," Mr. Rice said,
"let me show you this letter."

The letter was exactly what any one
who knew Mr. Rice would have ex-
pected. It came from a man in the
west, and began as follows: "I have
seen in the Review about you checking
up orders of the great Kaiserin Auguste
Victoria. Can you send me a few dozens
or a hundred and at what price? * *
I would like your catalogue." etc.
"Now," Mr. Rice asked, with the joy-
ous laugh, "what good are your news-
papers, anyway!"

To appreciate the satire of this
speech, it is only necessary to recall
that Phil mentioned that Mr. Rice was
homeward bound on the floating palace,
the Kaiserin Auguste Victoria, and in a
later issue that he was home again
checking up orders in his warehouse, and
as all the world knows, Mr. Rice dis-
tributes supplies, not Kaiserins. Well,
the thing was rather staggering, the in-
terviewer being interviewed, so to speak.
The darkest cloud has a silver lining,
and these were consoling reflections.
Mr. Rice is a thorough business man
who, while he believes firmly in the Re-
view, never misses an opportunity of
jollying Phil about the paper. Then,
though the writer of this letter had
mixed things up, he evidently read the
Review regularly and felt kindly
toward the man whose name had be-
come as a household word, and believ-
ing that he was about to add a new
department, wished to encourage him in
his first venture in greenhouses. Then,
he had asked for a catalogue. This
was consolation. Mr. Rice is never hap-
pier than when people ask for his cata-
logue, and had the western man only
written ' ' kat-a-log, ' ' it would have been
a positive triumph. These thoughts so
cheered Phil that he enjoyed the joke
and proceeded with the interview in
earnest.

Mr. Rice had enjoyed his trip im-
mensely, the weather had been cool and
pleasant, the return voyage smooth. The
flowers in Italy during May were gor-
geous, and the public gardens, especially
at Monte i^arlo, beggar description. Mr.
Rice had always been impressed by the
taste shown by the florists abroad in
their arrangement of set pieces, and one
florist in Munich had designs of such
rare beauty in his window that Mr. Rice
introduced himself, complimenting him
on the work, whereat the German artist
was much gratified. Wages are steadily
advancing abroad, due probably to the
vast numbers who are emigrating to

this country. The style of living among
the workers is not to be compared with
that seen here. The freshly arrived
immigrants who excite our wonder by
living in shacks herded together are do-
ing pretty much what they do at home
in Italy or Hungary. Mr. Rice spoke
hopefully of the coming season, promis-
ing in a few weeks to give the Review
readers some ideas about the importa-
tions now pouring into his firm's ware-
houses.

Recent Importations*

Through the courtesy of Harry Bayers-
dorfer I am able to give the Review
readers a few ideas of the wonderful new
supplies that are almost daily pouring
into his firm's great warehouses in this
city.

The combinations of color in water-
proof pot-covers are varied and tasteful.
Many new designs are seen that will af-
ford opportunity for displaying certain
varieties of plants to advantage. The
covers as now made are very durable. In
plant hampers and baskets, to quote
Bayersdorf er 's words, "There is every
style and every grade, from the cheapest
to the most expensive." This is a fact.
The variety is endless. A particularly
attractive basket is of Japanese style, of
wood and rattan, with long, graceful han-
dles. The improvement in the French
baskets is very marked. The colors are
softer and effects more pleasing than of
old. Of grass-growing novelties there
is a wide field for selection. There is
Pat's head, and the jolly boys, and dear
knows how many others, besides all sorts
of pigs, to say nothing of birds and
fowls, enough to please the most critical.

Mr. Bayersdorfer is a tremendous
worker, devoting his whole energy while
abroad to selecting an immense stock.
He believes that American florists can
give ideas to their brethren, both in
London and La Belle Paris itself.

Riverton*

The most progressive paper dispatched
its Philadelphia representative across the
Delaware recently to see what was doing
at Dreer's nurseries. There is always
something doing at Dreer's, and the
Philadelphia representative looks for-
ward with pleasure to these trips. On
this particular occasion, however, things
seemed dark. The two months from the
end of May to the end of July had been
cram full of work and worry. The work
and worry had brought good results, but
bad effects remained. The mere sight of
plants, usually a pleasure, was distaste-
ful.

The Bristol boat was overcrowded and
it was very hot. Do you wonder that
Phil's first words to J. D. Eisele were,
"Let's get a little boat and go out on
the river." But Mr. Eisele, who had
been through a much harder mill him-
self, was not going to play truant. "Yes,
the hottest thing we could do, ' ' he re-
plied, as he led the way to the green-
houses; in two minutes Phil forgot all
about fancying the water cold, or G. C.
W. 's joyous essays on subjects and
items, or even David Rust's advice to
enjoy life, so inspiring was the too brief
time spent with Mr. Eisele.

Asparagus Colemanii is a beautiful
thing, a sport fiom A. Sprengeri. It
originated with the gardener for Mr.
Coleman, of mustard fame, and was
named by him after his employer. It
may be described as a refined form of
Sprengeri. It is a strong grower, with
stems two to two and a half feet long,

graceful foliage that will appeal to the
artists who make such exquisite effects
with green of varied form and hue. The
Dreer company has secured the entire
stock of this novelty.

Outside in the frames is a bed of the
white stokesia, 8. cyanea alba. It is a
sport from Stokesia cyanea, coming with
such persistence that there will be a
large stock to draw upon when it is sent
out next spring. One of the enterpris-
ing salesmen has already turned in one
order for 1,000 white stokesias.

A field of hardy phloxes in their
second year is a sight long to be re-
membered. These plants were selected
from the immense Dreer stock early in
March, before the shipping season
opened. Each variety is planted in a
solid block, all the best; not a poor sort
is here. The effect is dazzlingly bril-
liant. E. P, Struthers is Mr. Eisele's
favorite variety. A valuable lesson of
this field is the chance it affords to com-
pare the shade, color, habit and time
of blooming of each variety. Nearby in
a frame the native Lobelia cardinalis is
planted out for seed.

The twin houses completed last Janu-
ary for dahlias are now the home of
Adiantum Farleyense. The conditions
possible in these houses will, Mr. Eisele
feels confident, just suit this coquette.
We may look for some fine stock from
here before the new year, when the
dahlias will return. Much of the Adian-
tum Farleyense is now in li^-inch pots,
a size rarely used in most places. Good
plants of Cibotium Schiedei marked sold
are also in one of these houses.

Ferns of the Boston type are still very
prominent. Nephrolepis Whitmani is be-
lieved to be a great acquisition. It is
dwarf and does not revert. Large num-
bers are ready to send out in pots.
Another large block is planted out on
the tables for stock. The old Boston

fern still commands a good following
among buyers.

Fully fifty varieties of marantas are
grown. They present a beautiful ap-
pearance, their deep, regular markings
contrasting strongly with the ground-
work of their broad foliage. The ken-
tias also are a grand sight, an immense
range of glass being entirely filled with
specimens in from 6-inch pots to 15-inch
tubs. Three whole houses of them are
picked out for orders for delivery at spe-
cified times in the fall. These tubs, by the
way, are becoming a staple article at
Riverton. Many decorators prefer them
because they do not break or dry out
easily. They are from ten inches to
fifteen inches in size.

Various Notes.

The palm growers are discussing San-
der's raid on the Lord Howe Islands.
To have the total output of kentia seed
locked in one man 's hands for the next
seven years is a serious matter.

The Whilldin Pottery Co. has pur-
chased the property on the east side of
Whilldin street fronting on Latona street.
They will close the former street (a pri-
vate street not in the city plan) gaining
an additional thirty-four feet on Latona
street and squaring their property, which
fronts on Wharton street.

W. E. McKissick is receiving fine
Ostrich Plume, a variety of white aster,
with which he made a hit last September,
when he started in business for himself.

Frank Ely, with H. F. Michell Co., has

BUFFALO.

The Market

Business has not been so dull as usual
all this midsummer season. The design
business has kept many hundreds busy
through the shortened hours, for we all
close at 6 p. m. through July and Au-
gust, and I have not heard of any vio-
lator of this agreement.

Asters are abundant. Sweet peas sell
well and the Lilium lanci folium, album
and rubrum, are in their prime, and cut
a big figure in all designs.

With the exception of one or two light
showers, not enough to hinder the flight
of a butterfly, we have had several weeks
of dry, hot weather. It is ten years
since we have had such real summer
weather, and it is mighty good for the
great staples of life, wheat and corn, and
eventually pork.

Varioui Notes.

The store boys are taking their vaca-
tions, but I would have to draw on my
imagination to tell you how Billy Greever
is enjoying his by attending to his new
baby.

Andy Adams is shooting bullfrogs on
the marshes bordering the broad, blue
Niagara.

Roland Cloudsley is spending all his
leisure hours designing a motor boat,
which will be launched in the spring of
1907, and with which he expects to emu-
late the performance of the famous
"Maid of the Mist," and go through
the whirlpool rapids at Niagara. The
writer declined the honor of holding the
wheel.

S, A. Anderson and W, B. Scott are
watching the barrier at Fort Erie, and
those who sleep near them are often
startled by a sudden cry of "They're
oflf!"

Miss Rachel Rebstock, ever industrious,
thinks, like the late Russell Sage, that
vacations are not necessary. J. H. Reb-
stock is busy with the great steamboat
traflBc of his summer resort. Crystal
Beach, on the lake.

There have been few visitors of late.
I forgot to mention a visit from Mr.
Wilmore, the celebrated dahlia and hol-
lyhock grower of Denver. He is a fine
example of a western man.

The veteran, George McClure, has
sailed for Rotterdam and then old Sco-
tia. He has taken Mrs. McClure along;
she will prevent him from sampling his
native stimulant, "mountain dew," so
invigorating in that cool, damp climate,
and dangerous and demoralizing in this.

Louis Neubeck is so busy filling fern
dishes and attending to other business
that he has not had time to call a meet-
ing of the Florists' Club for many
months. There was a great excuse for
his apathy last year, but none this. We
want to talk over the national conven-
tion, and also the annual picnic.

The Dayton Meeting.

How many will attend the Dayton
convention is a guess. There should be

a good number, for have we not the pres-
ident? From loyalty to him, as well as
to the society, all should go who possi-
bly can. It is selfish not to. The stay-
at-homes don't realize what they miss,
or the benefits they have reaped from
the work of men who have unselfishly
given their time and money to the so-
ciety. We regret that there was any
friction or misunderstanding in the Day-
ton Club. Somebody blundered, per-
haps not intentionally. It is corrected,
and let us hear of nothing but harmony
and brotherly love, at least till we re-
luctantly say good-by to our Dayton
brothers.

There is likely to be a spirited but
friendly fight for several of the prm^
cipal offices, and that always amuses the
crowd. Vote for the men you think
will do the most good to the society and
not for personal reasons. When you
meet men from the mouth of the Missis-
sippi, the banks of the muddy Missouri,
the far away Rockies, and the wheat
fields of Manitoba, it makes you ashamed
of your fellow townsman who had but
eight hours' ride in a Pullman car and

We wish to express our apprecia-
tion of

^

as a trade getter; our sales have far
exceeded our expectations and we
find our shipments have covered the
entire country, from Maine to Ore-
gon and from New Brunswick to
Texas.

then did not grasp the opportunity to at-
tend. Go to Dayton and cheer for your
townsman, Billy Kasting, the eloquence
of Robert Craig, the wise talk of Gur-
ney Hill, and the remarks and advice of
their more or less eloquent or wise com-
rades.

Then there is the social side, and the
sports. The sports are all right in their
way, and are greatly enjoyed by those
who bowl or shoot, but a large element
does neither, and it includes some of our
hardest workers and most clever men.
Without doubt the sports bring many to
the convention city, and personally I
like to see a certain amount of innocent
sport in every man's character, but it
is entirely foreign to the objects of the
society, and anything relative to the
games or the prizes should never be
injected into the deliberations or time
of the sessions. It is a featu/e that can
be conducted and managed entirely out-
side the work and business of the con-
vention. A member whom I know re-
marked on the platform at St. Louis two
years ago, while distributing some prizes,
" If a man can 't shoot or bowl, or does
not love these sports, he does not amount
to much." I have communed with the

author of that flippant, silly remark
many times since, and know that he
greatly regrets its utterance. Many a
man says a foolish thing when on his
feet, on the spur of the moment, that
he deeply regrets afterwards.

Consideration of our leading com-
mercial flowers has been pretty well
thrashed out, but now we are ornamental
horticulturists. There is a wide and
splendid field to be yet explored, and
the knowledge is sadly needed by an
army of young men who call themselves
florists.

Mr. Kasting's Qub-house.

The only holiday W. S. has had this
summer was a day and night with Presi-
dent Kasting at his club-house on Grand
Island, on the bluflfs of the majestic
Niagara river. The club is called the
Half-past Twelve Club. I did not learn
whether it is twelve p. m. or twelve
a. m. The fishing was poor, wretchedly
poor. It appears that several ^ sea-ser-
pents in Lake Erie had swallowed all
the fish, so there were none to swim the
waters of cool Niagara. One bullhead
and four 3-ounce perch were the result
of three days' fishing by three men and
two women. Never mind, our friend
William had an ice-box and a corkscrew
and such contraptions, so we got along
finely. There was also a bunch of charm-
ing young married ladies, and if their
husbands had known enough to stop in
the city, we should have willingly put
up with the absence of bites and con-
sidered ourselves far better off than the
multitude of Israelites in the desert, who
had only two loaves and five small
fishes. These husbands are often of-
ficiously in the way. W. S.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

The general summer depression is felt
all over the city, and especially in
our business. The weather is hot and
there is practically nothing doing. Here
and there they have a batch of funeral
orders, and there it ends. It is also
a hard matter to obtain really first-
class stock.

Plenty of good asters are coming in
and are selling fairly well, especially
the white and purple, with $2 per hun-
dred the top price. Sweet peas are
poor and the hot weather Avill soon put
them out of the market. A few good
white carnations are coming from the
fields, but anything like good pink or
red is out of the question.

Gladioli are a great glut. All light
colors bring $2 per hundred. They are
mostly used for window decorations.
Roses are better; still first-class stock
is limited to a few hundreds. Firsts
and seconds are plentiful ; in fact, more
than the demand calls for. In greens
the market, as usual, has everything one
wants.

Qub Picnic.

The Florists' Club's yearly outing,
held Thursday, July 26, at Ramona
park, was a successful and most enjoy-
able affair. The party numbered over
200, and only for a big storm at 1:30
p. m., which lasted nearly one hour,
fifty more would have come. After that
the sun came out and dried the grounds,
and a delightful afternoon was sj)ent in
dancing, fishing and boating. At 2:30
the trustees, Messrs. Beyer, Weber and
Fillmore, started the games back of the
dancing pavilion.

The Weekly Rorists' Review*

The Baseball Teams at the Picnic of the St. Louis Florists' Club, July 26.

The first event was the 100-yard dash,
twelve entries, won by A. Hartman, after
a hard run with R. J. Windier; time,
thirteen and a half seconds. Next
-was the boys' race, 12 to 14
years, four entries, won by John
Bentzen. Hop, skip and jump, nine
entries; Fred M. Alves had a walk-
away, his mark being thirty-six feet.
In the little girls' race five started,
-won by Alice Jablonsky. Eight single
ladies entered in the next race. This
was won by Eugenia Beeb. Running
l)road jump, ten entries, Fred M. Alves
first, A. Jablonsky second.

The men's race, 50 years or over, was
-won by J. J. Beneke, E. W. Guy second.
•Only four tat men could be found, 200
iwunds or over, won by Carl Beyer. The
egg and spoon race, seventeen entries,
was won by Mrs. Carl Beyer. Potato
race, eleven entries, Dora Miller and
Adolph JSteidle being tied, they divided
the prize, a box of candy. Louis Vogel
-won the sack race for ooys. The tug
^f war had Beyer and Beneke as cap-
tains, and after a short pull Beyer's
side won a box of cigars.

"Coming events cast their shauows be-
fore them ' ' was the sign on the ball-
grounds. The ball game between the
wholesale and retail teams was the fea-
ture of the outing. The wholesalers
won the game in five innings by a score
of ten to two, when the game was called
on account of two of the Winning team,
Fred Alves and Otto Bruning, getting
hurt. When the umpires, Messrs. Am-
mann and Guy, announced that the
wholesalers had won, a large sum in
stage money changed hands. The badger
fight did not take place, owing to the
badger getting away and not being
found in the woods. The older folks
left early, but the young people stayed
until late, enjoying the delightful music
and dancing. All voted it the best out-

ing ever held by the club, and great
credit is due our trustees for the manner
in which the outing was handled.

Notes of the Outing.

Belleville was represented by E. W.
Guy, Henry Emunds, Adolph Fehr, Gus
Grosshardt and their families.

Fred Ammann and his whole family
came from Edwardsville.

Herman Weber, who was catcher for
the retail team, showed league form.

Henry Berning, first baseman for the
wholesalers, got to first base on a foiil
and refused to return.

Francis Fillmore, father of F. J. Fill-
more, was the oldest florist at the picnic,
he being 82 years old.

Prof. Irish, of Shaw's Garden, came
late and alone but said he spent an
enjoyable evening.

J. S. Wilson, of Western Springs, 111.,
said he never had a better time meeting
old friends.

H. E. Philpott, of Winnipeg, B. Esch-
ner and S. S. Skidelsky got in just in
time for the outing. Mr. Skidelsky put
in good licks for the S. A. F. conven-
tion all afternoon.

The youngest florist at the picnic was
Baby Braun, of Central.

Jas. Dunford will know better the
next time he gets into a crowd with
Chas. Schoenle.

George Schriefer and Fred Alves made
a great battery for the wholesale team.

R. Windt said the weather was not
good for pictures, so none was taken.

Charlie Juengle, Charlie Kuehn and
their families were missed. The big
storm kept them away.

We were glad to see our old friends,
Theo. Miller and F. C. Weber, among
us once more.

George Angermueller had the big
crowd in good humor all afternoon with
his funny hat and side remarks.

Fred Foster, Alex Siegle, John Burk,
Jabez Gadd and Adolph Brix were seen
together most of the time. They were
glad they came.

The feature of the ball game was
Adlea' home run. On three strikes he
crawled home from third base, and was
called safe by the umpire.

W. C. Smith was a great favorite
among the ladies. Smith is a great all-
around man and plays any position on
the team.

Various Notes.

Don't forget the Florists' Club meet-
ing next Thursday afternoon. This is
the most important of the year, the
election of officers, the payment of an-
nual dues and two important discussions
by Messrs. Jablonsky and Sanders being
on the program. This meeting will be
held at our regular meeting hall, at
Grand and Shenandoah avenues. One of
the largest meetings of the year is ex-
pected. On this occasion all members
going to the S. A. F. convention at
Dayton will please report their names to
F. H, Meinhardt, state vice-president.

The seventeenth annual Shaw banquet
to gardeners, florists and nurserymen
will take place at the Jefferson hotel,
August 14, at 7 p. m. This is in ac-
cordance with the will of the late Henry
Shaw. The banquet comes early this
year, owing to the Apple Growers' Con-
gress, which meets here that week. The
early date will give them a chance to
attend. J. J. B.

El Paso, Tex.— C. H. Kolle, late of
Beaumont, has purchased four lots on
Myrtle avenue, and will erect a green-
house.

Grand Forks, N. D.— E. O. Lovell
is building a residence and greenhouse
combined. The latter is connected as
a wing to the former.

We note your advertisement in the cur-

edition of Scott's Florists' Manual and
request that you enter our order for a
copy of this valuable book. The writer
is thoroughly acquainted with the first
edition of this work, having often had
occasion to use it for reference while a
student at the Michigan Agricultural
College. Please rush this order, for we
feel, with Mark Twain, that we "would
rather not use violence."

CONVENTION NUMBER.

The annual Special Convention Num-
ber of the Keview will be published
August 23, with a full report of the
Dayton meeting of the S. A. F. "We
plan to make it the best we ever have
issued; but we need the help of the ad-
vertisers in the matter of giving us
early copy. Printers cannot do their
best work if rushed. Give us a little
time to get you up good display. We
are ready now to begin.

MR. GRAHAMS CHOICE.

Editor Beview: — Would it not be
wise for the members of the S. A. F.
to give some attention to the selection
of a suitable and logical candidate to
fill the position of president for the
ensuing year, rather than to leave it
altogether to caucusing and button-
holing members at the last moment?
Or until they have unwittingly pledged
themselves to friends on personal
grounds alone? It seems to me that the
best interests of the society often point
to some man who would never dream
of seeking the position himself in any
way.

I am expressing my belief that Mr. H.
B. Beatty, for so many years a faithful
member and efficient officer, serving, as
he has, year after year, never wavering
in his devotion to the best interests of
the society, is such a man. He is too
modest a gentleman to seek the office.
Let us see to it that the office seeks
the man. Adam Graham,

[While recognizing the force of Mr.
Graham's point, and appreciating the
worth of his candidate, the Eeview has
felt it to be more fitting that nomina-
tions be made on the floor of the con-
vention rather than in the columns of
the trade press.]

THE READERS' CORNER.

Oriental Poppy.

In a recent issue of the Review a
subscriber asked about the Oriental
poppy. The scarlet variety is the
grandest lawn plant ever grown, it
makes such a good show. The plants
can be started now in coldframes, and
should be shaded till they are two or
three inches high. Water them carefully
imtil they get strong, then give them
plenty of it. The Review is the most
systematic journal in the business. I
am driven to spend my money for it
when I should be buying something to
eat instead. A. W. M.

SPRINGFIELD, OHIO.

Peter H. Murphy, aged 86 years, a
veteran of the civil war and a well known
florist, died July 23 at his home on North
Limestone street, supposedly from heart
trouble. His death was sudden and un-
expected. Only his wife survives him.
Mr. Murphy was a member of Mitchell
post, G. A. R, He enlisted in Urbana,
and a number of his comrades from that
city were here to attend the funeral.

Chambersburo, Pa. — Byer Bros, have
added three greenhouses, each 25x100,
for carnations.

cently elected superintendent of Glendale

We have also on our list a number of
smaller hotels and many private houses,
prices from 50 cents to 75 cents for sin-
gle rooms. If enough applications are
made a camp will be established, with
well-furnished, double roof tents, four
cots to a tent, at a nominal cost of from
50 cents to 75 cents each. Any one
wanting acconunodations, if no individ-
ual arrangements are preferred, should
make appScation as soon as possible to
J. B. Heiss, president of the Florists'
Club, who will see that arrangements are
made to the satisfaction of all con-
cerned.

The Dayton Florists' Club held a well
attended and enthusiastic meeting July
30. The reports of the various commit-
tees on reception and entertainment for
the coming meeting of the S. A. F. were
satisfactory.

The members of the committees have
been untiring in their efforts to make this
meeting a memorable occasion, and all
who do not attend will miss the time of
their lives.

Much credit is due President Heiss,
of the local club, for the zeal and energy
displayed in his efforts to make the event
a grand success. Mr. Lutzenbuger,
chairman of the entertainment commit-
tee, has also labored hard and faithfully
for the entertainment of the visitors, and
with admirable success. He has several
surprises in store that he is keeping un-
der his hat.

The ladies' committee is doing its part
well also, and we can assure the visiting
ladies that they will be well taken care of.
Vice-President Altick is having the
bowling alleys brushed up, and will see
that they are in apple-pie order for the
bowling contests. The local society will
install a bureau of information in the
main waiting-room in the Union Station,
where visiting members can procure all
desired information immediately on ar-
rival in the city, even as to where the
best highballs are obtainable, although
we have Vice-President Altick 's word for
it that the members of the S. A. F. do
not indulge in anything so exhilarating,
which fact we are pleased to know. The
Dayton florists drink nothing stronger
than Red Raven splits — occasionally.

But to sum up, the local club is in a
position to give you all a royal good
time. All they ask is for you to honor
them with your presence and they will do
the rest. F. W. Ritter.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market

A light demand for stock serves to
give the market a deceptive appearance
of activity. At no time this summer
has really good stock been more scarce.
Not only are local buyers canvassing
from house to house to find material
suited to their needs, but when a whole-
saler receives a shipping order he
usually finds that he must go in search
for satisfactory goods for at least a
part of it. Business is fully up to what
it was a year ago, but it is nothing to
brag about, except in the houses which
have special crops of either roses or
carnations. These fortunate ones are
greatly increasing last year's sales
records.

There are more good Liberty and
Richmond than any other rose. Brides
and Maids of shipping quality are prac-
tically out of the market. Beauties are
in light supply and selling well. The
cut from young stock is improving every
day.

There is a lively demand for carna-
tions of good quality, both white and
pink, but the supply of poor stock is
overabundant. Asters are coming in
heavily and are glutting the market,
somewhat to the detriment of the carna-
tions. Most of the asters are short
in stem, small in flower and following
Saturday's heavy rain many flowers
were rotted, but improvement is now
apparent.

Auratum lilies continue plentiful and
eheapu Longiflorums are rather less
abundant than they were. Lancifolium
is here, both album and rubrum.

Gladioli are in large supply and in-
clude all shades. Sweet peas are again
clogging the market because quality is
not acceptable. There are many outdoor
flowers which sell cheaply to retailers
for use in window decorations.

Qfib Plant Entertainment.

There was a meeting of the downtown
members of the Florists' Club at the
office of the Benthey-Coatsworth Co.,
July 27, to discuss the possibility of
offering a little entertainment to visitors
passing through Chicago at the time of
the S. A. F. convention. It was the
unanimous sentiment that something
should be done to make the visitors
have a good time. The only point in
doubt was as to whether the number in
town at any one time would make it pos-
sible to provide for their pleasure. As
the result of the meeting the club is-
sued the following invitation:

"Convention visitors who may decide
to make a further western trip during
the week following the Dayton meeting,
are cordially invited by the Chicago
Florists' Club to advise its secretary,
L. H. Winterson, 45 Wabash avenue,
when they will be in the city in order
that an afternoon or evening visit with
the club can be arranged. ' '

Chicago to Dayton.

The Chicago Florists' Club has con-
cluded arrangements for the special train
over the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago
& St. Louis R. R., leaving the Illinois
Central passenger station. Twelfth street,
Chicago, at 12:45 Monday noon, August
20, and due to arrive in Dayton, via
Kankakee, Lafayette and Indianapolis,
about 8:40 p. m., practically a daylight

ride all the way. The train will consist
of three or more new day coaches, one
combination car, one dining car to serve
luncheon and dinner a la carte.

The rate by the certificate plan for the
round trip is only $9.70. The tickets are
good on all trains August 17 to 23, and
for the return trip the validated certifi-
cates will be honored up to and including
August 31.

The Chicago Florists' Club cordially
invites the florists of the northwest and
southwest, delegates to the convention,
to join this special train at L'hicago Mon-
day noon as above stated, and see that
when they buy their tickets and secure
their certificates that these tickets read
via Big Four route from Chicago to Day-
ton.

Delegates who can join us at any point
along our route are requested to do so.
The committee will be glad to hear as
early as possible from all who decide to
join our party, so that the necessary ar-
rangements can be made in time. Dele-
gates buying tickets in Chicago will se-
cure them at the city ticket office of the
Big Four, 238 South Clark street, with
certificates.

critical moment the stock did not grade up to expectations.

stemmed thus far this season, it has
given stems eighteen inches to two feet
long. No yellow center is shown. White
is the only color. Mr. Ball expects to
have a stock of seed which will permit
him to let the trade in on his good thing
next season.

Mr. Ball is one of the largest aster
growers tor this market. On Monday he
sent 5,200 asters to J. A. Budlong, who
is his selling agent.

Mr. Ball goes to Rock Island, 111.,
Monday for a week's outing.

Various Notes.

The E. F. Winterson Co. was in re-
ceipt of a aozen yellow chrysanthemums
on July 30. They came from O. L.
Baird, Dixon, 111., and made a distinct
hit. Anotner novelty at Winterson 's
was a small lot of pink and red pond-
lilies received last week. L. H. Winter-
son plans to attend the convention, and
then proceed to New York, accompanied
by his wife.

Peter Reinberg, Adam Zender and
John Muno, accompanied by their wives,
returned Saturday from a pleasant trip
of ten days in Colorado. Mr. Reinberg
is now devoting his spare time to the
candidacy of M. L. McXinley, who as-
pires to be county judge. Mr. McKinley
is the representative at Springfield who
was of the greatest aid to the bill for
the appropriation asked for by the
Illinois State Florists' Society.

Louis »/ittbold took a party of High
Ridge vegetable growers to Aurora Sun-
day, to show them the working of his
sprinkling apparatus in the cucumber
houses of W. B. Davis.

The Foley Mfg. Co. reports an ex-
ceedingly busy season, their output of
greenhouse material this year being to
date three times what it was a year
ago.

The Fleischmann Floral Co. has certi-
fied to an increase in its capital stock
from $10,000 to $100,000. Mr. Rubel
states that no especial change in the
business is contemplated.

According to the police reports, a
negro highwayman jumped on a wagon
in which Mrs. Frank Waterloo, the wife
of an Evanston florist, was riding, and
robbed her of a pocketbook containing
$10.

In the work of enlarging their retail
store, Marshall Field & Co. made
changes in the sewer which are alleged

to be the cause of Kennicott Bros. Co.
being flooded every time it rains. Be-
ing inundated again on Saturday, Kenni-
cotts on Monday instituted a suit for
damages against the Field estate.

Philip Schupp and family have re-
turned from a week's outing at South
Haven.

Henry Weiland, son of M. Weiland, of
Evanston, will return from Denver the
latter part of this month to wed Miss
Buchner, of Evanston.

Miss Nellie C. Moore has returned
from her summer outing at Channel
lake.

The A. L. Randall Co. is beginning
to hear from Miss Tonner from Ger-
many, with advices of large purchases
of florists' supplies, which are to be
along on the next boat. Miss Tonner
herself is not expected home before
September 1.

Matt Mann is sending in 1,000 to
1,200 good white carnations each day.
The plants did little in the winter, but
are giving a fine cut at a time when
the market needs the goods.

L. Gressens, of Bassett & Washburn,
is away on a fortnight's vacation.

John Sinner says that Saturday's fine
rain has tempted many carnation grow-
ers north of town to leave their stock in
the field for a while yet. The season
has been dry for those not on low ground
and the plants already "show the benefits
of the rain.

E. H. Hunt is doing quite a busi-
ness in boxwood sprays, which have not
been available for some time except
from cold storage.

C. M. Dickinson spent Sunday with
his family at Campbellsport, Wis.

Henry Phillip, at Rogers Park, is
doing well with his field of asters.

Charlie Erne is sailing on Lake Mich-
igan with friends from Toledo and
Terre Haute.

Vaughan & Sperry are keenly disap-
pointed at the failure of a big crop of
sweet peas. They had every assurance
of fine stock, but the severe drought
knocked them out after a nvarket for
them had been worked up.

A. C. Spencer is tasting the joys of
rural life this week.

A. C. Kohlbrand, of Amling's, has
returned from Cincinnati.

Visitors.

Frederick Sperry had as his guest on
Monday, B. A. Maxfield, cashier of the

Dade County State Bank, of Palm
Beach, Fla., where Mr. Sperry formerly
resided.

August Beyer, of South Bend, Ind.,
passed through Monday on his way
home from St. Paul, where he had
participated in a saengerfest and had
acquired a considerable addition to his
already large collection of medals. Next
year he will have to begin hanging them
on his back.

Other visitors included B. Eschner, of
Philadelphia, on his annual round-up of
fall orders; C. W. Crawford, of Chas.
Frueh & Son, Saginaw, Mich.; O. Will,
of R. Will & Son, Minneapolis; F. C.
Smith, Ashland, Wis.; G. A. Sawyer,

companied by his wife; and B. F. Van-
dervate. Galena, 111.

The Market

There have been no changes in the
cut flower market during the last week,
nor has the weather changed for the
better. Excessive humidity and heavy
storms add their influence to an already
stagnant trade. Even funeral work is
dormant, and weddings and dinners are
relegated to the realm of reminiscence.
The holiday season is here in earnest
and everybody is taking advantage of it
to the limit.

There seems to be some misunder-
standing as to the hour of closing the
wholesale houses. Instead of one, it
is now stated that several did not sign
the 3 o'clock document. Even now a
number do not close at 4 p. m., and one
prominent wholesaler asserted Saturday
that the closing hour was likely to be
advanced to 6 o'clock after August 1.
It is a fact, nevertheless, that all the
business by all the wholesalers after 3
p. m., from now until September 1, would
not equal the sales of one of the leading
cut flower merchants in a day when the
season is at its height.

Beauties still command a good price
and yet the supply is abundant. John
Young says he has been receiving thou-
sands daily from Jurgens, of Newport.
For the finest, $25 per hundred was
easily obtained by all the handlers of
Beauties. Brides and Maids are grad-
ually improving in quality, length of

Variou* Notes.

The ' * sweet singers ' ' of the New
York Florists' Club, W. C. and A. J.
Rickards. can now change the title of
one of their popular songs, ' ' There 's
a new coon in town," to "There's a
new seed firm in town." They have pur-
chased the business of the Bridgeman

See<l Co., of 37 West Nineteenth street,
and began business August 1. The name
of Bridgeman is a household word in
the seed business of this country. For
thirty-seven years Edward A. Peth ha.s
been at its head and splendidly main
tained its reputation, and for eighteen
years Frank M. Duggan has been asso-
ciated with him. There is no doubt
the Rickards Bros, will add luster to
the honored name and they have acted
wisely in retaining it. W. C. Rickards
has been twenty-two years connected
with the firm of J. M. Thorburn & Co.,
and A. J. Rickards for ten years with
the Stumpp & Walter Co. Few youny
men are Ijetter known or more popular.
Their success is already assured.

George Saltford is enjoying his an-
nual holiday at Oswego and among the
Thousand Islands with relatives. He is
revising and rewriting his valuable little
book, "How to Grow Violets."

John J, Perkins spent the week among
his growers. His son, John J., Jr., was
married on Sunday. His bride was Miss
Glass. Miss Hall, the bookkeeper, is
spending a month at Pittsburg, Pa.

Boddington has just received a fine

importation of Oncidium varicosum
Rogersii. He, in common with all seeds-
men, -regrets the shortage in large sizes
of Harrisii bulbs.

The ice slTortage is a menacing propo-
sition. One house averages over $26
a week for ice, and doubtless many of
the large firms show an equal drain. A
fair store rental for a wholesaler to pay
is $1,200 a year, though some of the
wholesale houses pay rent close to $2,000.
When the ice bills run a dead heat
with the rent, it is time to look serious
and to remind the growers who are some-
times impatient that ' ' all is not gold
that glitters." Ice costs $7 a ton and
is still soaring.

The excessive exjjress rates to Jersey
are still a source of great annoyance.
J. B. Nugent had a complaint on Satur-
day that indicated no surrender on the
j)art of the independent company and
gives no hope of a change for the better
for the approaching season.

C. E. Critchell, the wholesale florist,
of Cincinnati, and Mrs. Critchell are en-
joying a few weeks in the cast and, hav-
ing done Atlantic City an<l Pough-
keepsie, are now with triends in New
York. His visit to the violet growers
up the Hudson completed arrangements
for daily shipments during the winter.
He called on many of the wholesalers
iiere and was much impressed by their
number and the immense stores devoted
to the business. He is predicting a big
crowd at the Dayton convention and
says Cincinnati will send a car-load and
that the pioneer S. A. F. city is already
planning for the anniversary in 1908.
It may be well here to remind New
Yorkers who go to Dayton this year that
lower berths are not numerous in the
special cars engaged, and that those who
have not secured them should at once

Many growers are now pulling out
their stock and sending in little or noth;

plentiful, but are amply sufficient for all
calls. Business, except for a moderate
amount of funeral work, is almost at a
standstill. These conditions will prob

Asters are now too abundant, at 50 cents
to $1.50 per hundred. Good Lilium

many. Ruling j)rices are 20 cents to 25

Club Picnic.

The weather conditions were well
nigh perfect for the club picnic at
Wausgaicum grove on July 25. The
days preceding were damp and cheerless
and rain fell heavily the day following,
so the members may well congratulate
themselves on their good fortune. Much
hard work had been put in by the presi-
dent and the various members of the
sports committee, and great credit is due
them for the entire success of the whole
affair.

Three heavily laden Boston and Wor-
cester electrics* left Boston promptly at
8:30 a. m., reaching South Framingham
an liour later. Here many joined the
party and boarded a number of special
electrics, which carried them to the
grove. So well was everything arranged
that by 10:30 a. m. three baseball games,
as well as quoits games, were in progress
simultaneously. There was keen compe-
tition in all of the twenty-five classes and
the 350 or more members and wives,
families and friends seemed to thor-
oughly enjoy them. At the close of the
day's proceedings President Wheeler pre-
sented the prizes to the winners and
eulogized F. E. Palmer, chairman of the
sports committee, for the amount of work
he had given to the athletic end of the
picnic. Rousing cheers were given
Messrs. Wheeler and Palmer, both at the
grove and when they left the cars on the
homeward journey, at Chestnut Hill and
Brookline.

All who attended voted the picnic a

grand success in every way and those who
could not attend from divers causes wish
they could have been present. The grove
selected proved an ideal one for picnic
purposes. Nothing happened during the
day to mar the proceedings and many
wishes were expressed that the 1907
meeting would be at the same grove.

The winners of the various sports were
as follows:

Baseball, married and single; single won, 14
to 0. The winning team was composed of John-
con, captain; Edgar, Angus, Cannell, Haven,
Walsh, Patterson, Andrews and Lowe.

Picnic Notes.

The commercial growers were useless
against Wheeler's private gardeners'
team in the tug-of-war. They were
pulled four feet over and held there for
three minutes. It took some of the re-
maining stamina out of the contestants.

A lady was heard to remark that it
reminded her of a Sunday-school picnic,
every one behaving so decorously. Surely
this is a good recommendation for the
Boston Club.

The veterans ' race was a hair-raising
one. Messrs. Miller and Ready ran a
dead heat twice. The winner is 67 years
old, and, like so many more winners,
came from north of the Tweed.

The fat man's race was a good one.
James Wheeler won in 1905, but this year
the youth of the stalwart W. R. Nichol-
son told and the latter came in three
yards in the lead.

F. E. Palmer did yeoman service for
the picnic. He bought and marked all
the prizes, made up 500 bags of peanuts.

Palmer at first base, Wheeler second
base, Edgar third base and Shedd pitch-
er, were shining lights on the married
men's side.

It waa necessary to play the cricket
game on a time limit. F. Cole, of
Wellesley, bowled with deadly effect for
the private gardeners. T. Coles batted
well. Palmer played steadily for the
commercial side, as did .T. R. (.lark.
Capers and H. A. Stevens were bowlers,
but it was clear that the privates were
too much for their opponents, having
three more wickets to fall and seven min-
utes to play when stumps were drawn.

The way the married ladies ran was
an eye-opener to every one, A trifle over
six seconds for fifty yards shows the
fleetness of the contest.

' ' Never felt so stiff for years, ' ' is the
way many of the contestants expressed
themselves for some days after the pic-
nic. Wheeler has recovered his voice,
which he lost on the way home.

July just closed has been the wettest
and most uncomfortable month we ever
remember. While there have been few
temperatures of 90 degrees or over, the
humidity has been excessive a great part
of the month. W. N. C.

than 2,000 lights were broken. Fruit
trees on the farm were also damaged.
Mr. Vandervate stated that the storm
was one of the worst ever experienced
in this part of the country. The greater
part of the damage was done by the hail,
which fell thick and fast, and it was but
a few minutes before every glass in the
greenhouse was gone. Corn was also
damaged. Mr. Vandervate estimates his
loss at $1,800.

The Michigan pea growers have had a

The Nebraska vine seed growers are
busy with the cucumber beetle.

Beans will surely turn out short. The
effects of the cold spring and dry sum-
mer are now quite apparent.

Majesty is the name of A. T!^ Bod-
dington's special strain of mignonette,
not Majestic, as it was printed last week.

The radish seed crop in Michigan,
which is annually increasing in acreage,
is giving a good account of itself to date.

The onion set harvest at Chicago is in
full swing. Quality is excellent but the
size of the crop shows no sign of in-
crease.

Lists of cabbage, carrot, cauliflower,
cucumber, lettuce and other market gar-
dener specialties for ,, the south are al-
ready on the wing. '

The Connecticut growers have had a
long spell of wet, humid weather and are
far from pleased,, especially with the
prospect for onions.

The Colorado melon growers for seed
report a good start and no great trouble
from the aphis, which is worrying the
growers in Nebraska.

M. L. McDonald, of the firm of
Henry Field, Shenandoah, la., will soon
enter the Iowa State College at Ames
for advanced work in seed breeding.

The Michigan republican state con-
vention, at Detroit, July 31, nominated
Dexter Mason Ferry, Jr., as its candidate
for member of the state board of educa-

The Chas. H. Lilly Co., Seattle,
Wash., reports all its crop of cabbage
seed for fall delivery sold well in ad-
vance and demand unsatisfied. The Pa-
cific northwest has not heretofore figured
largely as a source of supply for this
item.

HARRISU BULBS.

The Bermudian landed at New York
July 27 the second consignment of Har-
risii lily bulbs. This shipment aggre-
gated 1,414 cases, which makes receipts
to date 4,652 cases, there having been
3,238 cases in the boat a fortnight ago.
This is practically the season's supply,
but it indicates that the crop of Har-
risii, in point of quantity, is not so short
as has been stated in some reports from
Bermuda, the receipts having exceeded
those of last year to date by several hun-
dred eases. The first boat last year was
thought to have a heavy consignment
when it landed 2,470 cases, as against
3,238 cases on the first boat this year;
and the increase held good in the second
cargo.

of cases of each size of bulb, but all are
agreed that there is a pronounced short-
age of the larger sizes. It is of the
small sizes that there is increased produc-
tion. It also doubtless is true that not
aU the stock is true Harrisii, and a con-
siderable amount of disease is likely to
be found in some of the stock from care-
less or irresponsible growers.

CALIFORNIA SEED CROPS.

C. C. Morse & Co., write as follows:
' ' Begarding crop conditions we have to
say that on the whole the crop is an
average one, with the exception of onion.
We expect, however, to fill our contracts
practically in full but wiii have little
or no surplus. Badish, lettuce, carrot,
and parsnip are unusually good. We
are now busily engaged in cleaning and
shipping our spinach crop and are well
into sweet pea and lettuce harvest."

EUROPEAN SEED NOTES.

The weather is now all that could be
desired for seed growers, coming as it is
just before harvest. It is warm, in fact,
hot, with frequent bright, hot sunshine
and an occcasional warm shower. Most
seed crops are looking well in conse-
quence and it is surprising the improve-
ment all crops are making. There are
reports that the onion crops in many
European districts are looking bad and

There is some talk in England that
the reported corner of kentia palm seeds
produced on Lord Howe Island has fallen
through. I know for a fact that some
English growers had placed their usual
orders with the exporters from Lord
Howe Island before the corner was
spoken of, and as soon a.s the supposed
plan to corner the crop was started they
received information that the seeds could
be delivered only through iuessrs. Sander.
These growers have lately received a
communication that the goods can now
be delivered at booked prices and are
in fact on the way. If the corner has
fallen through, it would be interesting
to know why.

The National Sweet Tea Society's
show was a great success in every way.

HOLLAND SEED CROPS.

Sluis & Groot have issued their annual
report on the seed crops of Holland, as
follows:

"Last autumn, particularly the latter
part of the summer, when various bien-
nials were sown or planted, the weather
was continually \9rj dry; consequently
many plants have poorly developed. This
applies specially to cabbages, swedes,
beets and mangelwurzels, so that in gen-
eral the plantations are considerably
smaller flian last year. The mild win-
ter was favorable to the crops and only
a few plants were killed, so that not
many sorts will fail altogether. Gener-
ally speaking, crops, owing to exception-
ally cold weather in the spring, are some-
what backward.

"Cauliflower stands fairly good.
White, red and Savoy cabbage, Brussels
sprouts and borecole are very small
plantations and the general standing is a
middling one, a part even considerably
under middling.

"Turnip is excej)tionally small acre-
age; stand fairly good. Swedes, a very
small plantation, with poor prospects of
crop. Kohlrabi, little sown; stands
fair. Mangehvurzcl, .sugar beet and
beet are fairly good.

' ' Carrot, as a whole, promises a fair
crop; stand rather thin. Parsnip and
scorzonora are very good ; not much
planted. Corn salad is excellent crop.

STIMULANTS FOR SEEDS.

The possibility of stimulating the ger-
mination, especially of old seeds, and
promoting the growth of plants by treat-
ing the seeds before planting with va-
rious substances, has been the subject of
a number of studies both abroad and in
this country, which have yielded results
that promise to be of practiral value. It
has been repeatedly ()bser\ed that cer-
tain of the treatments used in preven-
tion of smut (for example, hot water
and copper sulphate) apparently stimu-
late germination and growth and result
in a greater increase in yield than can
be accounted for simply by the influence
of the treatment in preventing disease.
G. E. Stone and associates, of the Massa-
chusetts Experiment Station, have shown
that such results may be obtained by
means of treatment with a variety of
chemical solutions as well as by electrical
stimulation of the seed. Of the experi-
ments conducted in this country those
made by F. A. Waugh, of the Vermont

germination when used in the treatment
of the seed. He therefore soaked old
and fresh seeds of different kinds in
solutions of diastase and similar sub-
stances before planting. He found in
general that the percentage of germina-
tion and the vigor of the young plants
were increased by such treatment, dias-
tase, either from malt or from various
commercial preparations, being especially
active in this respect. He found that
tomato seeds responded especially well
to the action of the diastase.

In his more recent experiments Pro-
fessor Waugh treated tomato seeds of
different ages not only with diastase but
with malt extract and with beer, which
contain a certain amount of diastase.
He found that the germination of old
seeds was greatly promoted, and the
vigor of the plants was increased by
soaking over night in weak solutions
of diastase, or in malt extract or beer.
The germination of tomato seeds five
to six years old was increased 600 per
cent by the diastase treatment. Similar
results, though less marked, were ob-
tained with fresh seeds. In all cases
the plants were more vigorous, and ap-
parently more resistant to disease. The
results in general indicate that this
method of treatment may be profitably
employed if a cheaper source of diastase
than that now available can be secured.

The results obtained in these experi-
ments confirm those by Jensen in experi-
ments made in Sweden with oats and
barley. He found that treatment of seed
grain with a weak extract of malt gave
an increase in the yields obtained at har-
vest time in comparison with seed treated
with water only, showing that the ex-
tract produced an increased vegetative
energy.

Similar results are reported by Br^al
and Giustiniani, of France, with, how-

iu a solution containing from one to five
parts per thousand of copper sulpliate,
in Avhich was stirred while boiling two
to three per cent of starch. After cool-
ing the mixture, four to five times its
weight of seed was placed in it, thor-
oughly mixed, and allowed to remain for
twenty hours, after which the seed was
dusted with lime and spread to dry.
This method of treatment increased the
yield of all the crops experimented with,
including corn, wheat, barley, oats, lu-
pines and buckwheat.

These various experiments encourage
the hope that some of these methods
may eventually be profitably applied in
practice in certain cases, especially in
the stimulation of old seeds and others
of low vitality. Many important de-
tails, however, remain to be worked out
before any of the methods proposed can
be recommended for general or extended
use.

NOTES FROM ENGLAND.

The mistakes and consequent heavy
losses in reference to the right and
wrong way of retarding lily of the valley
were very forcibly demonstrated to me
this week. A batch of a million was
ruined through being improperly retard-
ed in one of our public cold stores. They
had been kept at a regular 28 degrees
during the whole time, but the atmos-
phere was simply dry, cold air. "What
valley requires is 4 to 6 degrees of solid,
wet frost witli an atmospliere that is
continually more or less making ice. It
should never be forgotten that there is
a difference of fully 5 degrees in the
effect of wet and dry frost on both
vegetable and animal life, and one of
the greatest items toward success in re-
tarding valleys is putting them in an
atmosphere heavily laden with moisture.
Lilium longifloruni and other Japan lilies
will not successfully retard in a moia-
ture-Iaden atmosphere.

The now rambler rose, Hiawatha, is
making quite a sen.sation and is likely
to become exceptionally popular as a
decorative garden variety. It is quite
an improvement on the old Crimson Ram-
bler. It is reported that orders for
plants and buds of Hiawatha have so
far come to hand to the one or two
nunserymen who hold a stock far in ex-
cess of the supply in English growers'
hands, and many orders have been and
are still being booked forward for next
season's delivery and. even as far ahead
as 190S.

The big palm growers are experiencing
an amount of good business which has
nob been their lot for som^y^ars.

JOHN T. GALE, Tewksbury, Mass.

These new Hybrids are just as free bloom-

some much larger, and received first-class
Certificate of Merit by the Massachusetts

UNION CITY, PA.

W. J. Olds, of the Union City Green-
houses, has had a very good season, and
in common with other growers, reports
a splendid sale of chrysanthemum plants.
He is especially enthusiastic over Jeanne
Nonin, which has done exceptionally well
with him. It is a vigorous grower and
needs liberal treatment. He says: "Do
not try for too many blooms; four
blooms will be enough for 4-inch stock
and one bloom only from cuttings. Don't
grow Nonin for sprays."

DANVILLE, ILL,

Danville, 111., is not surpassed by any
city of its size as a location for a green-
house man. A city of 35,000 people,
with beautifully paved and shaded
streets, with eight railroads passing
through it, it presents great advantages
as a traue center and as a shipping
point. Goods arrive after one night on
the road from Chicago. We nave three
competing roads to Chicago.

Our business is just in its infancy
everywhere, and is constantly develop-
ing. "We have five large establishments
here and two smaller ones. Six of these
are doing a first-class business in all
lines of work. The oldest establishment
is that of Frank B. Smith. Mr. Smith
died some time ago, and the business is
now being conducted by his wife and
sons. B. E. Wadsworth, who lately
bought out Rhoten Bros., P. J. Walker,
B. L. Burgoyne, and A. W. Morgan are
located on Logan avenue. Ed. Osborn
has recently sold his place on North
Vermilion street and has put up a new
plant near the cemetery. The Danville
Floral Co. is located on Vermilion street,
near the postoffice. Our market extends
thirty miles from town on every side and
orders come in constantly from this dis-
tance. Business is of course dull at the
present, as it always is in midsummer.

RAILROAD GREENHOUSEa

Executive officers of the Union Pacific
railroad in Chicago are planning to
build several large greenhouses along the
main lines of this company in Nebraska,
Wyoming, Utah and other districts, with
the object of having at every table in
every dining car over the entire system
a bouquet of freshly cut flowers at every
meal. In addition to table and other
decorations, it is planned to grow flow-
ers on a scale sufficiently large to allow
free distribution of roses to women and
carnations, or other seasonable flowers,
not only in dining cars, but to passen-
gers in every car of every train, and in
winter as well as in summer, the idea
being to make patrons feel that the
flowers are a part of the trip over this
road and not souvenirs. The green-
houses probably will be located at
Grand Island, Neb., Cheyenne, Wyo.,
Denver, Col., and Ogden, Utah.

Covington, Ky. — The Covington Seed
Co. is preparing to erect two new houses
24x120.

St. Cloud, Minn. — The Kindler Floral
Co. has added a Japanese garden to the
attractive features of the place.

of these rotten hulls are scattered to a
depth of not less than three inches, there
will be no baking or splitting of the
soil. The ground will be moist, and will
remain so, with a light sprinkling every
two weeks. It is a large proposition
where one has a large farm, but where
there are only from five to twenty acres,
money will be made by the operation.

There are few good flowers now, the
heat being the reason. But I am confi-
dent that as good a class of bloom can
be grown here as elsewhere with proper
care and attention to practical ideas,
and with enough interest beyond a mone-
tary point of view. Constant dropping,
it is said, will wear away a stone, and
one thing I am sure of, that constant
care is the only way to succeed here.

The Market.

The weather continues perfect and
business is fair for the season. There
appears to be a steady gain, which is
encouraging to the dealers. Asters are
coming into town in fair supply, al-
though they are not yet very plentiful.
The quality of the flowers appears to be
all that can be desired. Carnations are
in large supply, and the prices remain
stationary. The best of the fancy sorts
cost the retailers about 25 cents per
dozen, while other kinds can be bought
at from 15 to 20 cents. This is about
one-quarter less than the price usually
received at this time. This ratio holds
good with almost everything in the line
of cut flowers.

Roses are scarce and in good demand.
Lilium album and Lilium rubrum are
being sent into town in large quantities,
especially by the Japanese growers. The
blooms cost the stores about $2 per dozen
stems on the average. Tuberoses are at
the height of their season, but there is
little demand for them, or for valley,
either.

Maidenhair and cut asparagus stems
have stiffened in price. Smilax is out
completely, none of the new crops being
yet ready for cutting.

In Oakland the usual conditions pre-
vail. Business, especially in the funeral
line, is good, with prospects for a heavy
fall trade. A great many peddlers from
San Francisco have moved over to Oak-
land, and make good wages traveling
from house to house with baskets full of
small bouquets.

Various Notes.

F. Brand, head gardener for the
Realty Syndicate, of Oakland, has re-

Provision has been made for the study

Plant Now LILIUM HARRISII for Early Forcing

We offer some extra choice Lllium Harrisli which has been grown for us from the original, pure stock. This is the kind
of stock that you want for the very earllcBt forcing, as It Is tht true, original Harrisli. The small sizes— 6-78 anil 6-78—
are particularly desirable for this purpose, as they will flower more quickly than the larger bulbs. If you want to get
a little of the original, pure Harrisli, try a case or two of this. As our stock of this is limited, we can ofler only a few
' ' , cares to a single buyer. If you have been dissatisfied with the Harrisii that yon have forced heretofore, try a case or
two of this and see if it is not moie than worth the difference in price over the iitock that you have been buying. In
ordering ask for the puie selected strain of original Harrisii, which we offer as follows:

...f,.: 5 to 7>lnoli bulbs, 400 to tbe oaa*» $17.00 per case.

6 to 7-lnoli bulba, 8S0 to tbe oasot 17.50 per oaae. V ,

7 to O'lncli bulbs, tOO to the case, 18.00 per case.
9 to 11-incli bulbs, 100 to tbe case, 18.00 per case.

EASTER COMES EARLY THIS YEAR-MARCH 31

and a great many growers will want to use Harrisii instead of Longiflorum so as to be sure and have the plants in
flower in time, as the season is going to be short for Japan Longiflorum. The crop of Harrisii this year is tbe ibortest
it has been in years, and in view of the extra demand, we advise those who have not already covered their require-
ments to lose no time doing so.

For very earliest forcing— Christmas and later— we recommend the pure Harrisii offered above, but for later
forcing for Easter, our customers will And the regular stock offered below first-class stock— much better than the aver-
age stock usually offered. We can quote the regular stock as follows:

0 to 7>incb bulbs, 850 to the case, $14.00 per case.

7 to 9-incli bulbs, 200 to tbe case, 15.00 per case.

COAL OIL AS FUEL.

Can you give mo any information in
regard to heating a greenhouse with coal
oil? "We have pulled down our old house
and are building two new ones, which
will make the total area of glass 6,000
or 6,500 feet. The intention is to heat
with hot water. Has coal oil been tried
for heating greenhouses? R. M.

Coal oil in the crude state is ex-
tensively used for fuel purposes in Texas
and Indian Territory, where it is abun-
dant and cheap. It works best in steam
generating plants, where lae oil can be
forced with a jet of steam through the
burners into the fire-box of the boilers.
In some cases where steam is not used,

air is pumped into reservoirs and drawn
upon to spray the oil into ^he burners ;
in other cases the oil flows by gravity
into the burners. If the oil can be ob-
tained at small cost it can be success-
fully employed for heating purposes.
Kerosene is too expensive for greenhouse
heating. During the winter of the coal
famine crude oil was used for greenhouse
heating to a considerable extent, but it
is too expensive in the east, where the
price of coal is normal. L. C. C.

HEATING FOR HOUSES.

I have four greenhouses, and wish
to know how many runs of 1^/4 -inch pipe
it will take for each. They are as fol-
lows: One house 15x60, 11-foot ridge,
for geraniums; one for carnations,
20x60, 10-foot ridge; one for palms,
20x60 feet, 10-foot ridge; and another
for carnations, 15x25, 10-foot ridge.

E. W.

I presume that you will want to run
your geranium and palm houses about
56 to 60 degrees. You will be safe in
allowing one l^-inch pipe to every two
, feet of the width of your bouse. Put
eight runs in the 15-foot house, and ten
runs in the 20-foot house. In the carna-
tion houses allow about two and one-
half feet of the width of the house for
each run of 1^4 -inch pipe. This is
figuring on steam heating.

If you install hot water, then you

must put in at least half as many more
pipes. Arrange for adding more pipes
if it should be found necessary, one or
two in each house. We find that the
height of tlTe house has very little
to do with the amount 9f piping re-
quired, unless it goes to the extreme.
For instance, we have one house forty-
five feet wide and fourteen feet high at
the ridge, and it takes just as many
pipes in proportion to its width as an-
other house which is thirty feet wide
and seventeen feet high at the ridge.

A. F. J. B.

HEATING SMALL HOUSE.

I have a greenhouse 18x35 feet, 4-foot
sides, 9- foot ridge. I want to heat it
with hot water, with 3-inch return bends.
Will four on a side heat it at 15 degrees
below zero to a temperature of 60 de-
grees? H. B.

If I understand the question correctly,
you wish to use four 3-inch hot water
pipes on each side of your greenhouse
18x35 feet. Four 3-inch pipes on each
side, or eight 3-inch pipes in all, will
provide almost the exact amount of
radiation necessary to maintain a tem-
perature of 60 degrees in the house. It
would not be wise to use return bends,
however, as the four pipes would thus
make the water travel 140 feet, while
by the use of a riser and three returns
on a side, the flow can be reduced to
thirty-five feet. Use a manifold for the
three returns and supply it from one
3-inch riser or flow on each side.

is carried on. The former has eight
acres devoted to peony raising, and has
originated many varieties.

plans. For this work, he says, he was to

that, altliough his plans were accepted
by the defendants, lie was not allowed
to carry them out, and that, altliough he
consifliTcd the work on the plans to be
worth at least $3,000, he was paid only
$300. Hawkes asks the si)ec'ific per-

PEONIES AT ITHACA«

The peony plantation at Cornell Uni-
versity, Ithaca, N. Y., is progressing
nicely. It has been a favorable season
and the stock, now in its second year,
is making good growth. The plants
have flowered lightly this season and by
-next June will be in shape to show their
true characters.

The plantation here consists of sev-
eral hundred plants and a large number
of varieties contribdted by members of
the American Peony Society and Eu-

ropean correspondents. By the time of
the peony society's meeting at Ithaca
in June, 1907, the plantation will af-
ford a splendid opportunity of com-
paring the varieties of the several con-
tributors and it is expected that many
interesting points will be developed. Al-
ready interest in the Ithaca meeting is
shown by a larger number of peony
growers than have attended in previous
meetings, and it is thought that Ithaca
next June will see the largest gathering
of peony growers yet brought together
in this country.

THE MOLE TREE.

In reply to J. L., in the Beview of
July 5, in regard to moles, I can say
that we have here what is commonly
called a mole tree or bush, which is
claimed to keep away moles where it is
grown. I cannot certify as to that, only
that we have had them growing in our
yard for several years and are never
troubled with moles, while some of our
neighbors are. The bush is quite an at-
tractive plant. It is a biennial, and
comes from seed. I do not know how
the mole tree would stand a cold climate.
It grows here during the winter months,
making as much growth as in the sum-
mer.

I have also heard this plant called the
fish-bone plant, on account of the way
the leaves grow on the stalk. I can fur-
nish seeds to any one wishing to try
them. E. V. Mason.

PRICE OF CYANIDE.

We should like to ask W. S. through
your valued paper what sulphuric acid
by the quart and cyanide of potash by
the pound in large quantities would cost,
as we think our local druggists charge
us exorbitantly. J. W. M. & S.

The price given us by a reliable retail
druggist is as follows: Cyanide of po-
tassium, 40 cents per pound; sulphuric
acid, 90 cents per gallon. These prices
are near the wholesale list. You could
possibly save ten per cent on these prices
at some wholesale druggist's, but not
more, and you can quote the above
prices to your local druggist, but mind
he does not ask you how much advance
you make on your violets.

A young man entered a drug store
with a prescription and asked the price.
The proprietor said 60 cents. The cus-
tomer remarked he was in the business.
Then the clerk replied, "Oh! Excuse
me, it will be 15 cents." W. 8.

The Market.

While trade the last fortnight has
been light, as it always is at midsummer,
still a good run of funeral orders and
quite a brisk sale for asters and sweet
peas have made a market that our flo-
rists call satisfactory for this time of
year. There is plenty of stock in the
market, but much cannot be said of its
quality; asters will probably come bet-
ter later, carnations run poor, and roses
are small. The seedsmen are doing con-
siderable with celery and late cabbage
plants, also turnip and other seasonable
seeds. The weather continues rainy.

Qtd} Meeting.

The last meeting of the month was
held July 17, in our rooms in Iroquois
hall. President Stephens was in the
chair and all our other officers were
present, as well as the largest gathering
of members in a long time. Our treas-
urer's report showed a small balance on
the right side from the picnic, which

was satisfactory. Two active members
were elected, Leo Bauman and E. D. Ba-
telle.

The evening was devoted to a dis-
cussion of ways and means of attend-
ing the Dayton convention. All our mem-
bers are taking the greatest interest in
the matter and we hope that fifty or
more will go from here. A special com-
mittee, consisting of Messrs. Woodrow,
McKellar and Faxon, was chosen to for-
mulate a plan and make all arrangements
for the club to attend in a body. The
plan most favored is the hiring of a
special car, suitably decorated for the
occasion.

Plans for our chrysanthemum show in
November are fast going forward, and
the various committees will soon be ap-
pointed. The next meeting will be Tues-
day evening, August 7, when the final
plans for the Dayton trip will be com-
pleted.

DETROIT.

The Market.

Although business is not entirely dead
it seems to be at a standstill. What lit-
tle stock is on the market is of pretty
fair quality. Koses are rather scarce.
Were it not for La Detroit, the florists
in need of pink roses would be out of
any kind of stock. The price ranges
from $2 to $5 per hundred. Carnations
are about as large as a cent and are
not overplentiful, selling on an average
at $1 per hundred. Asters are plenti-
ful, ranging in price from 75 cents to
$1 per hundretl. Sweet peas were spoiled
by the recent heavy rains.

Various Notes.

Breitmeyers ', besides the general run
of flowers, have in stock a fine assort-
ment of outdoor flowers, including some
fine specimens of Gladiolus America.
Mr. Breitmeyer, acting in the capacity
of park commissioner, spends consider-
able time about the city, looking after
repairing of the boulevards.

William Dilger is seldom seen about
the commission house, being kept busy
at the parks as superintendent. The
number of improvements throughout the
parks speaks very highly for our club
president.

B. Schroeter has been doing some re-
pairing at the store. Miss Eva Smith,
of Schroeter 's, is spending a few weeks
with friends in Canada.

William Brown is making numerous
alterations, which when completed will
make his store rank among the prettiest
on the avenue.

Two veteran Detroit florists celebrated
their birthdays last week, B. Schroeter
his sixty-fifth and Robert Watson his
sixtieth. The latter received a beauti-
ful gold watch from his wife.

E. A. Fetters spent last week at May 's
Day lake fishing.

Miss Hattie Holzhauer, of Breit-
meyer's, and Louis Charvat, the popular
clerk at the Michigan Cut Flower Ex-
change, are away on well earned vaca-
tions. H. S.

The Weekly Florists' Review.

August 2, 1906.

PITTSBURG.

The Market.

The usual summer dullness expresses
the condition of things as they are to
be found all along the line. Roses are
very scarce. Some good lilies and
Beauties are to be had; asters are here
in quantities and prices are correspond-
ingly low. Good gladioli are .more
plentiful, so that there is no trouble
taking care of all the business that
presents itself. We have been having
some very severe storms all about us,
with heavy wind, hail and rain ; some
very large hail is reported to have fallen
about Wilmerding and Verona, but it
must have missed all the greenhouses,
as there are no reports of broken glass.

Various Notes.

The Pittsburg Rose & Carnatiou Co.
drilled in another oil well last week
which is a paying pumper.

Jimmie Wyland, of Allison Park, has
taken unto himself a wife, and is re-
ceiving the congratulations of his
friends.

Lincoln I. Neflf has about an acre of
asters which give promise of turning out
some fine stock.

E. C. Ludwig and family have been
enjoying their usual vacation at Atlantic
Citv!

Ed. McCallum, of the Florists' Ex-
change, who has been fishing in Canada,
spent last Sunday seeing the sights at
Niagara Falls.

W. Q. Potter, of the Pittsburg Cut
Flower Co., got in Sunday morning from
Canada, and brought with him his last
catch, a big 'lunge, the sight of which
started the piscatorial fever raging in
Phil Langhans. He immediately began
packing his fishing tackle, and will be
off by the end of the week for the
Canadian lakes.

A. W, Smith, Jr., has returned from
Denver, and has gone with his family
to his Chautauqua cottage.

T. F. Imback, of Morgantown, W. Va.,
was in the city recently buying a few
ponies, which he speculates in during
the dull summer season. Hoo-Hoo.

,\rrowsmith, 111. — S. E. Lawrence is
starting into business, building a house
21x80.

TVIN QTIES.

The Market

Trade is quiet, but better than it was
last year at this time. Stock is scarce
and inferior, and prices are low.

Asters have started in nicely, but
seem to sell only fairly well. Tigrum
lilies are used extensively, both in de-
signs and in counter sales. Funeral
work seems to be about all that is being
done. One of our dealers had a nice
wedding decoration recently. Young
roses are looking well, and if one can
judge from the plants in their present
condition, we can expect good cuts from
the larger growers.

The excessive heat the last few weeks
has been hard on the greenhouse help,
and where large crews are employed,
some are sick at nearly every place*.

Minneapolis.

The department stores appear to be
doing the most business. Trade is quiet
around the florists' stores. Ralph
Latham reports a good trade in the
cut flower line.

The New York Floral Co. is ap-
parently doing a fair business; their
stock is kept up well.

Oscar Amundson ha.s Jiad some nice
design work of late, and says he is satis-
fied, considering the season.

St. Paul.

The Twin City bowlers have arranged
to have their contest Friday, August 3,
in St. Paul, at Pfister's bowling alleys.
A fine lot of prizes are oflfered, consist-
ing mainly of contributions from the
florists' friends in other lines of busi-
ness. The ladies will also have a chance
to show their skill in this line. After
the contest lunch will be served and a
good time is expected.

Ashton K. Kerschner. formerly with
the State Nursery, Helena, Montana,
has been in this vicinity for the last
few weeks.

F. Vogt and Henry Puvogel have been
busy the last four days entertaining
their Saengerfest friends. The decora-
tions for the Saengerfest in the floral
line did not amount to much.

Holm & Olson's new store will be in
readiness within a short time. It will
give them a large floor space.

L. L. May & Co. turned out consider-
able funeral work last week, and were
short of stock a part of the time.

CINERARIA STELLATA.

This type of cinerarias is now to be
had in a variety of forms which are use-
ful for general decorative purposes, and
likewise for cutting. For decorative
purposes they are greatly superior to
the older florists' varieties, on account
of the light appearance which the plants
have, and their increased height. An
objection is sometimes raised that cine-
rarias become dirty or infested with
aphis, which detracts from their useful-
ness. If the plants are placed in warm
houses or rooms they soon become tov-
ered with greenfly, but cinerarias, like
calceolarias, do not require warmth, and
are best grown under cool conditions for
whatever purpose they may be required.

Several sowings should be made ac-
cording to requirements, and when the
plants are large enough for pricking out
a north or northwest aspect for a cool
frame is a good place to grow them. Un-
til the blooms commence to open, abun-
dance of air on all favorable occasions
should be given the plants; grown cool
in this manner it is surprising the
amount of frost cinerarias will stand,
and the length of time they remain in
bloom.

In the variety Felthamensis we have
an improvement on the smaller-flowered
types of stellata or polyantha; the color
is also pleasing, but so far the plants
are dwarf, but if we can obtain some
that will grow to a height of from two
to three feet their value for decorations
will be increased. Another type is that
shown at the Royal Botanic Society's ex-
hibition by Jarman & Co., of Chard.
Here we have the fantastic cactus form
of flower, the rolled petals of the flowers
having a quilled appearance. The Chard
firm was awarded a certificate of merit
for the strain, which is quite fixed. We
have tested the lasting qualities of the
flowers when cut, and the plants make
pretty decorative subjects, as the pecu-
liar shaped blooms attract attention.
Not the least good point about them is
the diversity of coloring yielded by the
flowers. — Gardeners ' Magazine.

many orders it has brought me. — S. J.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

August 2, 1906.

dNdNNATL

ThcMAriket

Business continues fair for the season,
and with the advent of asters, which are
coming in quantities, we are hoping that
it will continue so. Gladioli are also
coming in heavily and are selling well,
but not at high prices. There are few
roses and these are of poor quality.
Beauties are about the best in the rose
lino. Carnations are about out of the
market, and what few are to be had are
hardly fit to be sold. It will not be long
till the cut from new stock will begin to
come in, and that will relieve the mar-
ket in this respect. New roses will be
on the market shortly also.

Various Notes.

H. M. Altick, while in this city last
week, left a favorable impression as to
the progress made at Dayton for the S.
A. F. convention. That this convention
will be one of the greatest ever held goes
without saying, and the craft in this city
are one and all waiting anxiously for
the day to come when they will be up
and going to Dayton. Cincinnati will
send a large delegation and if every one
goes who says he is going, there won 't
be a florist left in this city on August
21. The exhibition will undoubtedly be
a great one this year and the outdoor
display will be a feature that will repay
any one for. making the trip.

The Cincinnati Fall Festival Associa-
tion will give two flower shows during
the Fall Festival this year. Altogether
$1,200 will be offered in prizes. The
first show will be held September 6, and
will be exclusively for cut flowers and
plants; $700 is the amount offered for
prizes, but owing to the fact that no
entries were forthcoming to compete in
this show, W. K. Partridge was awarded
a contract to make the exhibit, and now
he is making special preparations to
make a display which will be up to if
not better than those he has made in
the past. That this show will be well
worth seeing any one who is acquainted
with Mr. Partridge will not be in doubt.

The second show will be held Septem-
ber 20, and will be devoted to table
displays, bridal bouquets and perhaps a
few designs; $500 will be divided up into
the various prizes. Any one can exhibit
in this show, and exhibitors from out
of the city will be shown every courtesy.

George Tromey has been sick for the
last few days, suffering from a severe
cold, but is now able to be about again.

A. C. Kohlbrand, of E. C. Amling's,
Chicago, dropped in last -week. He is
making his annual visit to see the old
folk.s. C. J. Ohmer.

DAYTON OHIO.

Convention Notes.

It is ouly three weeks until the annual
S. A. F. convention will open. Things
are in tip-top shape, peace and harmony
reign all the way around, and the twen-
ty-second convention promises to be the
largest in the society's history, in exhi-
bition, lectures, entertainments and in
attendance. The president of the Flo-
rists' Club, Mr. Heiss, recently has been
in New York, and at the last meeting
gave a glowing description of the places
visited. All the leading firms will ex-
hibit.

The officers of the club met July 27
at the exhibition grounds, in company
with concessionaires, to make final con-
tracts for lighting the grounds. Every-
body was pleased to see how things show
up. All were unanimous in their praise
of Mr. Freudenberger and Henry Has-
sey, who have charge. John H. Patter-
son suplied men, teams, tools and mate-
rials free of charge to beautify the out-
door surroundings. It is through his un-
tiring efforts that the city of Dayton is
in landscaping what it is today.

People are waking up now to the
beauty of perennial stuff, and it is with
regret that we say that the contemplated
outdoor exhibit did not show up as well
as was anticipated. A large lot of ground
was gotten ready for such an exhibit,
but exhibitors stayed out, and finally the
Dayton club resolved to fill up the spaces.
Each brought whatever he had, and Mr.
Freudenberger took it upon himself to
plant these empty spaces with the mate-
rial that was thus forthcoming. The
effort was not in vain.

The Dayton Florists' Club will offer
prizes for the best plans for landscape
gardening. Now, you enterprising land-
scape architects, make the trade familiar
with what you are doing. We have to
introduce novel features in every conven-
tion and this will be one most beneficial
to all the trade. Come forward, if with
only a few pencil sketches, and instruct
the members of our society what can be
done with a small amount of money to
make even the most humble home a thing
of beauty. J. B. Heiss.

come superintendent of the fine estate

GRAND RAPIDS. MICH.

Bttsiness G>nditions.

At lust tlio druufflit is broken, and
the longed-for rain has arrived. It lias
oomo in time to save the carnation crop,
although some patches are partly de-
stroyed. There will be no further fear
of dry weather for the rest of the sea-
son, as this was a thorough soaker, and
has gone down to the roots of things.
A good hoeing or stirring of the soil
will retain the moisture now for weeks.

A summer quietness has settled down
over business except occasional funerals
and shipping orders. Replanting is well
under way; Crabb & Hunter have five
houses of carnations in. Cross, Smith
and the Grand Kapids Floral Co. have
begun planting. All are considerably
behind, compared to what they were this
time last year, on account of the dry, hot
weather.

The aster crop has been badly
checked by the dry weather, and wiil
not amount to much, on account of the
^liort stems.

Flowers are very scarce, there being
few either of roses or carnations. What
there are arc of poor quality, and will be
until we begin cutting from the new
crops; at the same time, demand is light
and most of the time easily met.

Variotn Notes.

Eli Cross has added a rose house to
his plant, and will open a store down-
town, where Miss Harnett was located.
She has removed to the Pythian temple.

Henry Smith is behind in replanting
roses, having to rebuild and extend two
lioMses before he could start.

('. Chadwick has his rose replanting
xinder full headway. Mr. Deidrich, the
new foreman, is making things hustle.

Jacob Dutmers, for the last two years
with the Manistee Floral Co., takes
charge of the Reeds Lake Floral Co.,
formerly the Grand Rapids Violet Co.
The new firm will grow cut flowers,
roses, carnations and mums.

It is rumored that John Steenmaii
•will take a position with the Manistee
Floral Co., to fill the vacancy made by
the withdrawal of Jacob Dutmers.

THE TEST OF QUALITY

Cypress is conceded by all authorities to be the best
wood for greenhouse construction, and quite a little has
been said about the "right kind of cypress." What
way have you of knowing the "right kind of cypress?"
Can you tell by looking at a cypress plank just where
the sap lies and what kind it is?

One way to be sure that you get the "right kind"
of cypress is to place your order with a firm that makes
a test of every piece before shipping and employs an
expert to detect cypress defects. Send for "Why Use
Cypress" and "The Mummy's Case."

Next week — "The Test of Workmanship."

L THE CROSS AND GARLAND.

The accompanying illustration shows
most excellently a large design made re-
cently by Mangel, Chicago, for the em-
ployees of the ^^^ational Fire-Proofing Co.
It was one of those cases where a collec-
tion had been taken up and a consider-
able sum of money had to be adequately
represented in the design. In such in-
stances the florist often finds himself in
a place where it is diflScult to give satis-
faction. To put in the money by means
of using expensive flowers, such as
orchids, fails of its purpose with people
who know nothing of the value of flow-
ers. And on the other hand mere size
is not what is wanted.

This cross and garland exactly fills
the bill. It is large enough to stand out
among the flowers at almost any funeral,
and elaborate enough to satisfy the pur-
chasers that they have received their
money's worth, while in this instance the
execution was excellent and there was a
satisfactory profit for the store. The
frame of the cross was, of course, filled
in with moss and made solid with asters
wired on picks in the everyday fashion.
It was in the construction and attach-
ment of the garland that it departed
from the ordinary. Many makers-up in
work of this character make a garland
of smilax or asparagus strings, to which
the flowers are attached, and when the
garland is completed it is draped upon
the piece and attached. But in this case
the roses, sweet peas and greens were
wired on picks and set into the piece.
The effect was fine, heightened, as it
was, by the rose pendent from one arm
of the cross and the sweet peas from the
other. Bunches of pansies marked the
cross, top and bottom, and the loose
arrangement at the base was the usual
one, care being taken to see that the
greater portion of the stock was grouped
back and at the right of the tablet bear-
ing the inscription.

The illustration is an especially good
one, being prepared from a photograph
by the George R. Lawrence Co., who are
experienced photographers of flowers, or
indeed anything else where detail is re-
quired. They are best known as makers
of large negatives and make a specialty
of conventions, banquets, etc. They'
photograph all the big banquets at the
Waldorf-Astoria in New York, at the
New Willard in Washington, and at the
Auditorium in Chicago, thus coming in
contact with the leading florists of the
three cities. One of the results has been
that they have made portfolios of de-
signs for several of the retailers to use
in taking orders. They are now at work
on such an original and exclusive port-
folio for C. A. Samuelson, and at the
same time are making a portfolio shortly
to be offered to the trade. The Law-
rence Co. sends men all over the country
to do jobs which are beyond the reach of
the local picture makers, one of their
specialties being bird's-eye views from a
captive balloon. The Eeview has sug-
gested that the balloon be sent up for

a shot at the greenhouses north of Chi-
cago and hopes some day to have the
pleasure of printing a photograph of the
district north of Chicago, with landscape
spotted with ranges of glass until it
looks like a map of the Wisconsin lake
region.

has issued from time to time neat little
folders advertising some special feature
of his business. These are distributed
in large numbers in the neighborhood,
and their periodical appearance serves to
keep Mr. Hughes in the minds of a for-
getful people. The pamphlets always
contain something original and interest-
ing, and are usually instructive as well.
One of them gives full instructions for
the care of ferns and palms. Another is
entitled ' * A True Fish Story, ' ' and gives
hints about the feeding and care of gdld-
fish.

Besides the regular line of greenhouse
work Mr. Hughes handles several special
lines of novelties, one of the most no-
ticeable being the small clay grass-grow-
ing figures of animals, human heads, etc.

NOVELTIES AND PUBLIQTY.

H. R. Hughes, Chicago, has made his
name, his store and his goods well known
to people living on the great west side.
He is a firm believer in publicity, and

these little images, covered with the
greenest of green grass, and they con-
stantly attract the attention of people
passing in the street. In another win-
dow Mr. Hughes has a large aquarium
filled with goldfish, which are sold with

suitable small bowls. The window is at-
tractively arranged around the aquarium.
Mr. Hughes also sells fish supplies of all
kinds and finds it a profitable side line.
The establishment of Mr. Hughes is
situated in the heart of the west side
residence district, and is near several
hospitals, so the cut flower department is
kept busy.

, SUMMER FLOWERS SOUTH.

We note the query of S. B. S. and the
reply of D. in the issue of July 26. The
plan for growing Kaiserins and Cochets
strikes us as being too expensive for
summer stuflf at the usual summer price
of, say, $1 per dozen for the best grade,
with the certainty of having to throw
away at least one-third to one-half of
what is grown. A great many customers

will not have roses in summer. They
claim that they fade too quickly. This
is especially- true of pink roses. Sum-
mer carnations are what we really need.
They suit the popular purse and the
popular taste; but to make them pay,
they must be grown cheaply.

We have never heard of Moonlight's
being a good summer bloomer. Those
that we have tried have shown themselves
weak growers, but the fault may have
been in the stock. We have heard of
summer flowers being grown under can-
vas, petunias, gladioli and such, but have
never had any experience with them.
Would Kaiserin stand the shade of thin
canvas where the rays of the sun are
direct, and where the mercury plays bc-
twecH 90 and 100 degrees during the
hottest part of the day for four months
and more? Has any southern grower
tried it! L. J.

CARNATION NOTES.-EAST.

Bench SoiL

While carnation culture is by no
means wholly dependent on the soil em-
ployed in the benches, it will be evident
to any one that without a congenial
place from which to draw the necessary
food supply, returns from the plants
will be unsatisfactory. From the fore-
going it must not be inferred that if we
make the soil rich enough in plant food,
everything is provided, for, as will be
noted, the source of food supply is re-
ferred to as a congenial place to obtain
the necessary amount, meaning that the
soil must be in good mechanical condi-
tion, and must contain certain fertilizing
elements also.

Beginners are apt to make sure that
the soil is rich enough, in fact, they nwiy
overdo the matter, when it is far more
important that its mechanical state be
given every attention, especially as this
property of the soil cannot be remedied
later on, though plant food can be added
as occasion requires. In fact, it has
been proven to be best for the plants
when added later, and is more econom-
ical.

The following simple experiment with
a few freshly dug plants from the field
will serve to show the carnation 's ability
to utilize energy stored up within, or, if
you choose, the Heedlessness of supplying
much food at the time of benching.
Carefully wash all soil from the roots,
pot in 4-inch or 5-inch, according to size,
using finely sifted coal ashes slightly
moistened; if they are fresh from the
ash-pit you may be quite sure that little
plant food is present. You may be sur-
prised at the growth made and the
blooms produced before the plants show
signs of exhaustion.

As regards using a layer of manure
on the bottom of the benches, we have
found this plan a good one to follow,
but should advise against the use of
manure which is well rotted — not that
any harm will be done, but that there
will be little advantage gained.

The general opinion, or at least the
advice, of many writers advocates the
use of well rotted manure in all horti-
cultural operations. This is no doubt
good practice in certain cases, such as
with plants grown wholly for foliage,
or those of slow growth, which bloom
only at long intervals. Those which
must live the strenuous life seem to ap-
preciate soil enriched with manure in the
first stages of decomposition better than
that which has lost a large percentage
of its fertilizing elements through fer-
mentation or leaching.

Tobacco Stems.

Several years ago we tried tobacco
stems in a section of bench with good
results, but their cost with us is too
great to warrant continued use.

Depth of Soil.

I do not in the least doubt Mr. Baur's
success or question his advice in the use
of soil three inches in depth, but from

personal experience and observation of
others, should advise a depth of at least
four inches with the average New Eng-
land soil; having tried soils from vari-
ous parts of this section, I find a vast
difference in their natural wearing ca-
pacity, and we may be pardoned for
envying the growers of Indiana and ad-
jacent states, possessed, as they are, of
a soil second to none.

STARTING PALM SEEDS.

Will you kindly inform me through
your columns the best way to germinate
or start kentia palm seed? I have
plenty of leaf-mold and good rotted sod
soil, charcoal and fiber' for compost.
Please advise a good mixture of the same.

T. T. C.

The best method for the germination
of kentia seeds is to plant them in a
bench containing about four inches of
soil, three inches of the latter being
placed on the bench and smoothed down,
then the seeds sown quite close together,
and finally covered with an inch of soil,
and the whole bed then given a good
watering. ~"

The seeds slu)uld be sown in a house in
which a temperature of not less than 60
degrees is maintained during the winter,
as they will occupy the space for many
months, for these seeds germinate very
irregularly and while some may come
through in two months' time, there may
be others that will not show for nearly a
year.

As to the spil in question, a mixture of
equal proportions of the leaf-mold and
rotted Bod would answer very well for
the bottom soil, and the seeds might be
covered with the leaf-mold only, if it is
well rotted and free from fungus. In
the east we usually use peat for a cover-
ing of the seeds, and sometimes for the
entire bed, but the leaf-mold would an-
swer very well.

During the summer the seedbed may
not need watering oftener than once or
twice a week, and a light shade on the
glass will save it from drying out too
much, but after firing begins in the fall
it may require water more frequently,
for the seeds should be kept always
moist. W. H. T.

Sweet Peas Indoors.

The writer had intended to dilate this
week on what he knows about forcing
sweet peas for winter blooming, but the
valuable and interesting notes by A. C.
Zvolanek on this subject, published in
the Review of July 26, page 582, leave
little to be said on the subject.

Some five or six years ago I used to
write that you could not expect to flower
sweet peas before April 1, and I was not
so far wrong after all, for these early-
flowering varieties were not generally
known at that time, and the fine old
varieties like Emily Henderson, Blanche
Ferry and Catherine Tracy, grand as

they are for outdoor culture, are useless
for winter forcers. Mr. Zvolanek has
told of the long years of labor and
perseverance it took to produce these
winter-flowering varieties.

It is two weeks early to sow the seed,
but not too early to prepare the beds.
Last year we were fairly successful with
these sweet peas. We sowed on August
18, and picked our first flowers Novem-
ber 20. By Christmas there was an
abundant picking. Christmas Pink we
sowed in the bed where it flowered, but
Florence Denzer, the early white, was
sown in 3-inch pots and they were never
in any respect equal to the Christmas
Pink.

It may happen that you have a bed
occupied with a crop of early chrysan-
themums and you want to cut them and
then plant sweet peas. In this case you
should sow the peas, seven or eight seeds
in a 4-inch pot, and transplant to the
bed as soon as the mums are gone. This
can be done with fair success, yet our
experience is that it is much better to
sow where they are to flower.

As for the white-seeded varieties be-
ing best sown in sand, it is quite easy
to scoop out a little cup of the soil
and fill in with sand. We think the
ideal distance is to have the hills twelve
inches apart in the rows and the rows
eighteen inches apart. Mr. Zvolanek
impresses on us the necessity of light
and ventilation, to all of which we say
amen. "We noticed last winter that with-
out sunlight we picked few peas, but
after a bright day the picking was won-
derfully increased. Therefore, a house
running north and south is not suf-
ficiently light. A house running east
and west, and the middle or north bench
of that house, would be ideal. A raised
bench would do, still I should much
prerer a "bed on the ground, drained with
three or four inches of gravel, rubble-
stone or tiles.

Forty-five degrees at night and a rise
of 10 degrees is right for dull weather,
and 10 or 15 degrees higher on bright
days will be very beneficial. A high
temperature by artificial heat, especially
in cloudy weather, will be most harmful.

Greenfly is easily kept down with
regular weekly smoking with tobacco
stems. In connection with sweet peas
I should say that the great grower of
this flower, William Sim, of Cliftondale,
told me that his magnificent vases of
white shown at several of the carnation
conventions was Mont Blanc. Whether
this variety can be had in flower by
Christmas I don't know. It is grand
when it does come.

Altemanthera.

Those interested in carpet bedding
plants should propagate alternanthera
now, while the weather is warm. Flats
holding a depth of three inches of
sandy soil should be prepared. If your
soil is not sandy, then mix your garden
soil with equal quantities of pure sand
and insert the cuttings of alternanthera
thickly in the flats. One good water-
ing and the cuttings will root anywhere,
inside or out. This is an economical
way to winter these little tropical weeds,
so useful in carpet bedding.

Poinsettias.

There is little occupying the cutting
beu just now except the poinsettias. It
will soon be time to propagate the
plants you intend for pans or half pots.
The single plant in a 5-inch or 6-inch
pot meets with little favor nowadays.
The half pot, or azalea pot, as we call
it, holding four or five plants, is the
popular arrangement. Pans are rather
shallow for the purpose because the
plants become exhausted by Christmas.

Eemember there is no science in root-
ing or growing this showy plant. It
will root in the hottest weather, if kept
faithfully shaded and the sand sat-
urated, but when potted off from the
sand, for the first week there must be
no neglect of shading and watering.
When once they begin to root in the
little pots they will enjoy the brightest
sun.

Asters.

Where rains have been frequent and

BEHER JOIN NOW.

copious, asters are doing well, but where
a long, dry, hot July prevailed, they
are poor. We are now cutting early va-
rieties of good quality because the hose
has been playing on them often enough
to keep the soil moist.

The best asters are yet to come and
if rains do not come the fall crop will
be poor. An investment in a few hun-
dred feet of 1%-inch pipe may profit
you several hundred dollars. Pipe is
always useful on any florists' place. It
takes but a few minutes to screw to-
gether 500 feet of 1^4 -inch pipe from
your water supply to your aster field, and
then you can, by moving the hose occa-
sionally, thoroughly irrigate them. I
said 1^4 -inch because in conducting
water through pipes there is much fric-
tion in 1-inch. If your aster patch is
several feet lower than your greenhouses,
then gravity will help, but where there
is little or no drop, friction in the 1-inch
pipe will reduce the force or pressure
to almost nothing. Anyway, don't hesi-
tate to afford means to irrigate your
asters, sweet peas and gladioli, but not
carnations. Oh! Nol Not on your life!
Hoe them, but do not hose them.

NOTES FROM ENGLAND.

Eoses are booming in England this
year. A host of new varieties is being
placed on the market. Covent Garden,
and every provincial market, is over-
loaded with cut roses, but they all are
cleared at some price or other. Alex
Dickson & Sons, of Newtownards, Ire-
land, are offering quite a catalogue in
itself of entirely new roses. The firm
has a magnificent stock, and is no doubt
nearly as well known in America as here.

I notice that some of the more suc-
cessful growers of lancifoUum lilies are
blooming their bulbs the second year,
especially the album and Krsetzeri
forms, and they find that if properly
treated the blooms are larger and far
more numerous, and the growth cleaner
and stronger, when bloomed the second
year. There is little art in the drying
off, as the growths, when done flowering,
are simply allowed to cue down. The
pots are laid on their sides outdoors,
and when the proper time comes aronnd,
the bulbs are shaken out and repotted
in fresh soil. If the bulbs are skilfully
grown during the first season, they will
give a great improvement the second
year, but it is absolutely useless to pot
up a second time any bulbs that show
the slightest sign of disease or of fall-
ing away of scales, as these will hardly
make a growth a second year.

The Weekly Florists' Review.

AuansT 9, 1006.

Some English importers of carnations
are grumbling considerably at the large
percentage of loss of plants received
from some American firms. Some firma
pack carnation plants for export to Eng-
land who do the thing so well, hardening
and otherwise fitting the plants for their
long voyage, that not more than five per
cent die after arrival here. Others do
not harden and neglect especially to grow
and pack the plants, so that in some
cases every single plant of a consignment
dies soon after arrival. It is the fear of
this loss that prevents many English
growers from buying from America. If
every carnation exporter in America
would take special care and pains with
plants intended for export, double the
quantity would be ordered by England
from American growers. One nursery-
man here informs me that in one consign-
ment of 1,000 plants he lost only six
plants. In another consignment of 600
from another firm he lost every plant.
In a lot of 1,000 from a third firm, be-
tween 300 and 400 died. This does not
tend to increase orders for American
plants. B. J.

STATE OF GENERAL TRADE.

So long as prosperity abides with the
farmer, so long will it continue with
those who manufacture or sell general
lines of merchandise ; and the florist will
get his share when others are doing busi-
ness. This is the way one of the great
commercial agencies reports on the pres-
ent state of trade in general:

"There was a healthy volume of busi-
ness in wholesale lines last week. In
fact, in some departments of industry
the fear was expressed that it would be
difficult to fill orders this fall owing to
the fact that there had been no let-up
during the customary period of dullness
to catch up with current demands.

"The movement of merchandise was
heavy, shipments of fall and winter
goods having commenced. Grain ship-
ments were again large, particularly of
wheat. Receipts of new wheat at Chi-
cago during July broke all records, and
indications point to continued heavy
shipments of winter wheat until the
movement of the spring wheat crop
starts.

"The progress of the crops has been
almost uniformly good, the only com-
plaints coming from points in Illinois
and Missouri, of dry weather. The pros-
pects of abundant harvests has given the
country merchants added confidence, and
many of them already have appeared at
primary markets for the purpose of plac-
ing their fall orders.

"In practically every department of
the steel and iron trade orders have been
booked far ahead, the output of the rail
mills having been placed up to near the
close of next year. There was a fair
degree of activity in pig iron.

"A perceptible increase was noted last
week in the number of orders and in-
quiries in the western bituminous coal
market. ' '

HINTS ON CUTTING.

Preparation of Young Stock.

The proper preparation for young
stock to successfully bear the first time
will now require some time and care.
The stock must be healthy, vigorous and
of a reasonably fair size before we
allow a crop to develop, otherwise the
deprivation of the foliage necessary in
cutting marketable stems will weaken
the vitality and cause a growth of blind
wood.

Proper care in removing the lateral
shoots is also necessary. When remov-
ing the laterals from young stock
preparatory for a first cut, it is best not
to remove those near the base of the
stems, as they will eventually make good
flower stems. This is frequently prac-
ticed, to the detriment of the plant, in
order to secure a few more inches to
the flower stem and so secure the highest
price going; the more experienced
grower knows this is poor policy.

As the plants at this time are far
from having attained their full growth,
each flower stem should be cut not with
the object of getting it as long as pos-
sible, but with the definite purpose of
improving the size and form of the bush,
and with the view of enhancing its
future productiveness, when the demand
will be brisker and prices rule higher.

The First Cot

"When taking the first cut, to balance
the plants in form, those stems which are
longest and strongest should be cut so
that three or four eyes with fully de-
veloped leaves are left; each one of
them is capable of developing a good
flower stem.

On the weaker growths two eyes will
be quite sufficient, they being only able
to perfect and maintain that number of
shoots with strength to form a good
flower stem. All abortive and mal-
formed flowers should be cut with the
same regard for eyes as perfect
flowers.

Special Varieties.

Liberty and Richmond, having an in-
clination to produce a thicket of small
wood at this time, will be benefited
greatly by having it thinned out judi-

ciously, allowing a free circulation among
the leaves and giving more sunlight to
the yet unbroken eyes at the base of the
plant.

Picking out the buds of Beauties, the
stems of which are not quite long enough
for market, will result in another bud
developing at the base of the bud stem,
which in a week or two will reach out
and increase the length of the stem by
six or eight inches. This method can be
carried on for some weeks if necessary,
as sometimes the price offered for these
buds will not repay the injury done to
the plants by hard cutting. Bibes.

MILDEW ON ROSE PLANTS.

I am bothered with a bad case of mil-
dew on my rose plants, and have been
for the last eight months. Nothing
seems to touch it. The plants have been
cut back, and are vigorous and bloom
well, but the foliage is poor. I give all
the ventilation I can, and use sulphur
twice a week, about a pound to a house
20x100. My roses are Golden Gate. I
was never troubled before to speak of,
and would like to know what to do.

C. P. N.

I am at a loss to understand how this
querist can have vigorous plants which
bloom well and which at the same time
have rotten foliage, as without good,
healthy foliage, which is their breath-
ing apparatus or lungs, there can be no
vigor; instead, a great lack of vitality
must necessarily follow when the foliage
is incapacitated, from performing its
proper function.

This lack of vitality is just such an
invitation as mildew will readily accept,
and until the leaves become of a better
texture it will continue to infest the
plants in spite of all known preventa-
tives and cures; in fact, if the foliage
is very thin and poor in texture, sulphur
has a debilitating effect on the plant
and should be used with great caution.

If the plants are carried-over stock,
and have been cut back, the house should
be kept cool and moist and rather close
during the day, with ample ventilation
at night, until root action has again
commenced. Until this takes place great
care should bo exercised in watering
so that the plants do not have more at
the roots than they can readily use.

Golden Gate, being a- strong, vigorous
grower, and of good constitution, is not
very susceptible to the attacks of mil-
dew, land this would indicate that there
is something radically wrong in the
cultural methods. Rises.

AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY.

The executive committee held a meet-
ing at the Fifth Avenue hotel, New
York City, and took up the matter of
preparing the way for the next annual
meeting and show at Washington, the
Washington Florists' Club having joined
hands to make a strong effort for a
handsome showing. The committee went
over the prize schedule of last year and
spent some time in devising means to
secure ample prizes for the exhibit.

The effort is being made to gather
together and put into permanent form
the history of the organization, which
was flrst started at Atlantic City in 1894,
and the present organization, which was
put in force March 13, 1899, W. C. Bar-
ry, of Rochester, being the fiyst president
ot the society. The motto which was
proposed at the executive meeting for the

organization was: "A rose for every
home, a bush for every garden. ' '

The sense of the committee is that the
society should be broadened to make it
as comprehensive as its name — that
"American" represents no section, but
takes in the entire bound of the zone
where roses grow.

Benjamin Hammond, Sec'y.

ODONTIODA VUYLSTEKEAE.

Not until the last few years have
hybridists done much with that most
beautiful of all orchids, the odontoglos-
sum, but in Europe great strides re-
cently have been made in this direction;
British, French and Belgian growers are
all now busy turning out new crosses,
quite a number of which have received
awards from the Eoyal Horticultural So-
ciety of London, and from other socie-
ties. One of the foremost of these
hybridists is M. Ch. Vuylsteke, of
Ghent, who has won many high awards
for unique forms of Odontoglossum
crispum, as well as for odontoglossum
hybrids.

The most remarkable novelty that has
been raised by this skilful Belgian
hybridist is Odontioda Vuylstekea;, the
result of crossing the popular and well-
known Odontoglossum Pescatj;)rei with
the brilliant orange-scarlet Cochlioda
Noetzliana, a cross considered an im-
possibility a few years ago. An in-
florescence carrying six flowers — the
plant was not shown on account of its
value — was exhibited at the celebrated
Temple show in London, on May 31,
1904, and created a sensation among the
large number of orchid fanciers present.
A new orchid must be remarkably good
to score a first-class certificate in Lon-
don, but this novelty received not only
that award, but a silver-gilt Lindley
medal also.

The flowers are shaped like those of
odontoglossums, but the color is largely
that of the cochlioda. The blooms are
two and a half to three inches in diame-
ter. The ground-color is light cream yel-
low, largely obliterated except on the lip
and around the large blotches on the
sepals and petals. The blotches on the
lip, sepals and petals are deep salmon
red in color, and the crest is deep yel-
low. The teeth are described as being

more developed than in Odontoglossum
Pescatorei; the bulbs and foliage closely
resemble the latter plant.

The cross was made both ways, and
it is not known lor certain which plant
was the seed bearer. It was feared at
first that the seeds would not germinate.
"We have not seen it stated how much
time elapsed from seed sowing to flow-
ering; many growers would no doubt
like to know this.

The production of this striking cross,
apart from any value it may have either
as a botanical or a decorative orchid,
shows admirable skill on the part of Mr.
Vuylsteke, and we do not doubt but that
he values this odontioda far above any
of the other valuable orchids which he
possesses. We understand that the plant
shows remarkable vigor, and that it car-
ried thirty-two flowers as an inflorescence
this season. W. N. Craig.

THE USE OF CYANIDE.

Beferring to the discussion in the
Eeview recently as to the precautions
necessarj' in using hydrocyanic acid gas,
I may say that the difference of opinion
on the subject is probably due to
the fact that, the gas being so very
poisonous, those who best know its na-
ture are inclined to be very conservative
in their recommendations.

One fact should be clearly kept in
mind. No person should attempt to en-
ter a house or stay in it after the gas is
liberated. A few seconds' exposure to
the gas would cause painful results,
even if it did not produce death. The
gas acts quickly upon the nerves and
would likely produce a more or less per-
manent paralysis if too much of it were
inhaled, even though it might not cause
instantaneous death. A few whiffs of
the gas, such as would be obtained in
glancing in a greenhouse door, might not
be particularly dangerous, but then peo-
ple are affected in different ways. Per-
sonally, I can stand a considerable quan-
tity of this gas for a few seconds, but I
know other people who are painfully af-
fected by an exposure which does not
harm me in the least. The same is true
of insects. Some are quickly killed by
small amounts; others are resistant, de-
pending largely upon the secretions of
the mucous membranes. If the nerves

are close to the surface and easily
reached by the gas, and the gas is quick-
ly absorbed by tne mucous membranes,
tlie effect is quicker and more powerful.

It is not necessary to lower the cyanide
into the acid by use of a string unless
the jars are located so that the operator
cannot get out of the house quickly. In
our houses, Avhen we have five or six jars
to set off in two or three different paths,
a man starts at the back of each path,
a small manila paper sack containing the
proper dose for each jar having been set
beside the jar previously. Then the men
walk together, dropping the sacks in at
the same time, the man nearest the door
waiting before setting off the last jar
until the men farthest from the door drop
their sacks, so that all can get out to-
gether. It takes from twenty to forty
seconds for the acid to eat through the
thin sacks. Then after the steam begins
to come up from the jars it will be sev-
eral minutes before the gas is distributed
through the house. There is usually
plenty of time to get out and close the
doors without difficulty. Occasionally
if a sack happens to have a tear in it or
a break, the gas will come off rapidly.

If this system is followed, however,
there will be no danger in dropping the
sacKs as suggested. In fact, one could
hold liis breath even in case of an acci-
dent— that is, if he knew enough to do
so, and most people would. Those who
did not would probably suffer the conse-
quences. If one •does breathe some of
the gas, the saliva which forms in the
mouth should not be swallowed, but
should be expectorated for several min-
utes, and the mouth should be thoroughly
rinsed out before anything is swallowea.

Where a house is not tight, it is pos-
sible that the recommendations as given
by Mr. Scott, that is, using a small dose
and leaving it in over night, might be
safe, especially for more or less resistant
plants with perfectly dry foliage. On
the other hand, in tight houses and with
such tender plants as the young growth
on roses and lettuce, such a procedure
would result in great injury. There are
certain insects also which it is practically
useless to attempt to kill with cyanide.
One of these is the ordinary thrips and
another is the red spider. While the
adult thrips and the adult spiders will be
killed, the young appear to be much
more resistant.

The subject of the use of cyanide for
fumigating various crops under varying
conditions is well worthy of careful study
and experimentation, and it is especially
important that practical men using it
should give exact statements as to the
time of fumigation, the temperature of
the houses, the plants to be treated,
whether the foliage is wot or dry, wheth-
er in active growth or dormant, whether
the houses are tight or not, the amount
of cyanide used and the length of ex-
posure. If attention is given to these
details, the work can be reproduced accu-
rately by others. A. F. Woods.

BORONIAS.

The hard-wooded boronias have by
sheer merit forced their way into pop-
ular favor, and I can call to mind no
plants possessed of such delicate and
exquisite fragrance as Boronia megas-
tigma, says a writer in the Gardeners'
Magazine. The flowers, individually or
collectively, are anything but showy, but
this questionable defect is more than
compensated for by the fact that a small
plant will fill a large room with delicious

perfume for many weeks. There are sev-
eral species which claim attention, and
1 propose to offer a few remarks re-
specting them, but will first deal with
their culture.

Any ordinary greenhouse in which a
miscellaneous collection of plants is
grown will suit the boronias, but they
must have full exposure to light and sun,
and a stuffy atmosphere must be avoided,
though this latter does not generally ob-
tain in the kind of structure indicated.
For potting, sound fibrous peat must be
employed, and fine particles should be
excluded; add sand and fine charcoal,
and pot firmly. The proper time for
potting is immediately the plants have
gone out of flower, and at the same time
the plants may be pruned more or less
severely according to their condition.
After potting, a somewhat close and
moist atmosphere will induce vigorous
growth, and if a frame is available these
conditions can be more satisfactorily car-
ried out than in a house, and after the
plants are furnished regularly with new
growth additional ventilation may be

to me in the course of a year for ex-
amination, and I almost invariably find
one very tiny piece of crock partially
covering the hole, and, aa a matter of
course, the soil sour and repulsive.

From the time the plants are returned
to the greenhouse until the season re-
turns for exposure again is the most
critical and important time. Great care
must be paid to watering, and it must
be remembered that plants assimilate
water in proportion to their growth or
amount of root action taking place, and
also that the atmospheric conditions pre-
vailing during the early part of the
year do not tend to induce evaporation.
Just sufficient water should be adminis-
tered to keep the soil moderately moist.
I have known plants destroyed by a too
liberal use of fertilizers, and it is only
permissible to give a very weak solution
when the flowers are being developed,
and I would not advocate their use at
any other season.

Reverting for a moment to potting, I
must utter a word of caution against the
danger of over-potting; boronias are far

given and ordinary greenhouse treatment
follow.

Boronias may with safety be stood
outside from June to the end of Sep-
tember. Select a good open position,
plunge to the rim in coal ashes, and pay
strict attention to watering. These
plants are very impatient of excessive
moisture at the root, and many are killed
by it, but this is hardly likely to occur
in summer outside, provided the pots are
properly drained. In this connection I
have been simply amazed at the preva-
lent ignorance on the simple but all-im-
portant point of drainage for plants in
pots. Hundreds of plants are brought

better in small pots than large, and a
6-inch pot is large enough to grow and
maintain in good health a fine specimen
for many years. Some trade growers
employ one-third part of loam in their
potting compost, the remainder being
made up of peat and sand, but I do not
see any advantage from its use other
than that of convenience and, probably,
expense.

Next to Boronia megastigma in point
of merit is B. heterophylla, a remarkably
floriferous species, and although the
flowers are not powerfully scented they
are distinctly attractive, the color being
bright carmine. A species that lasts long

in beauty is B. serrulata, and it forms a
capital little bush, naturally symmetrical
and shapely, and it lasts in beaioty a long
time. The ' same remarks apply to B.
Drummondi, and neither require severe
pruning, though a timely pinching of the
young growths that show a tendency to
roam is desirable. B. Drimimondi has
white flowers, and in B. elatior we have
rosy carmine represented, while B. pin-
nata is much like B. serrulata.

Vegetable Forcing.

BONE FLOUR FOR LETTUCE.

Could I expect success in using bone
flour in the soil for lettuce, in place
of manure! In a solid bed how much
would you advise, say on a bed 7x8 and
8 inches deep, well mixed with a soil of
sandy loamf "M. W. W.

I should not advise the use of ground
bone for lettuce. Bone in any shape or
form is apt to cause fungus growth, and
this in all cases of lettuce growing must
be avoided, as fungus diseases are one
of the great troubles in the greenhouse
culture of this subject. I find rotted cow
manure the safest thing to use when ap-
plied to the soil just before the crop is
planted, though I have used bone as a
fertilizer for cauliflower, and planted
lettuce as a second crop, having good
success without applying any manure be-
fore planting the lettuce. Taking the
cauliflower crop first gives time for the
heat of the bone to work off, and enough
substance is still left in the soil to sup-
ply all the nourishment required for
lettuce. W. S. Croydon.

HYDROCYANIC GAS ON GRAPES.

Please let me know if hydrocyanic
acid gas can be used strong enough with
safety to the plant to kill thrips in a
vinery. If so, how much do I need for
a house containing 4,800 cubic feet of
air space f If the acid gas is not satis-
factory, what other remedy would you
recommend, and how much for this
house? H. A. S.

Hydrocyanic acid gas can not be used
strong enough to kill thrips in a vinery
without injury to the vines. I have ex-
perimented with it quite a little, and
find that grapevines while in leaf are
easily injured. 1 have, however, no
trouble in keeping thrips off the vines
by using tobacco stems pretty freely
throughout the house. I tie the stems in
bundles and lay these on the pipes, re-
newing them when the strength gives
out.

The month of May seems to be the
time when thrips are most likely to ap-
pear; therefore during this month I use
extra care to see that the stems are kept
fresh. I find that if the pests are kept
out during May I am safe for the sea-
son. I am assuming that it is the large
white thrips you have reference to, that
being the only kind I have seen suffi-
ciently numerous in a vinery to cause
any serious trouble or damage. This
pest, though known as thrips, is really
a cicada which lives in the ground all
winter, hatches out during May, and
finds its way into the vinery through the
bottom ventilators. Once established on
the vines the insects multiply rapidly,
quickly injure the foliage, and often

have the fruit so dirty and spotted that
it is unfit to send to the table.

Some twelve years ago I got a grapery
in very bad condition from this insect.
When I opened the door they would
rise in a veritable cloud from the vines.
I took hold of this grapery in July and
could simply do nothing with it that
season, but by thoroughly cleaning the
following spring, and by the use of stems
as above advocated, I have had no
trouble whatever since.

SOIL STERILIZATION.

In recent publications of the Vermont
Experiment Station, W. Stuart reviews
the history of the development of the
process of soil sterilization and gives the
following brief account of his own ex-
periments on the subject.

The serious nematode injury suffered
by a crop of tomatoes grown in the sta-
tion greenhouse in the winter of 1902-3
showed that the winter forcing of toma-
toes and cucumbers could not be success-
fuUy accomplished there unless the soil
was sterilized. Since the larger portion
of the space devoted to these crops was
occupied by solid beds, it was thought
desirable to attempt sterilizing this soil
in place. Three-inch tiles were sunk
about ten inches below the surface oi
the soil. The lines of tile were laid
every sixteen inches, each line being in-
dependent of every other and connected
with the surface by a vertical section of
tile. The ends of each line of tile were
plugged with paper and soil. The up-
right was connected with the laterals by
a hole drilled through the upper surface
of the end tile over which it was ne-
curely cemented. The verticals were
connected alternately at one end or the
other of the laterals, thus permitting
the live steam to be injected at opposite
sides of the bed, and thus equalizing the
diffusion of heat throughout the soil.
Not only were the tile joints open, but
each section of tile was perforated with
a ^-inch to a %-inch hole through each
side, the better to facilitate the escape
of steam. Under a pressure of from
forty to sixty pounds of steam, a section
of bed, containing a surface area of
nearly seventy square feet, could be
heated up to about 210 degrees in ap-
proximately three hours' time. The
surface of the soil being well covered
with burlap, this temperature was
maintained for a considerable period.
In one case noted the thermometer
stood at about 130 degrees twenty-
four hours after treatment. This
procedure proved in every case an ef-
fective remedy against nematodes and
obviated the labor involved in treating
the soil in a box or other specially con-
structed device. The tile once placed lie
fio deep that they need not be molested
in digging over the beds or in changing
the soil, and they are always ready for
use in subsequent treatments of new
soil. Then, too, the surface connection
by means of vertical section afforded
ideal soil aeration.

Since nearly 200 feet square of bench
surface in one of the greenhouse rooms
was fitted up for subwatering by means
of galvanized iron pans and layers of
porous bricks, the question arose as to
whether it was feasible to sterilize the
soil in these benches by injecting steam
into the pan through the watering tube.
A thorough trial of this scheme showed
that while it was possible thus to steril-
ize soil it could hardly be called a prac-
tical method, as it took too much steam

Japaaese Tea Garden by Bemb Floral Co»t Detroit.

to do it. It was found that the injec-
tion of steam into a pan full of cold
porous bricks resulted in a very consid-
erable condensation of water, in fact,
almost to the point of complete satura-
tion of bricks and soil. In view of this
experience it would seem to be more
economical to employ a sterilization box
for the treatment of soil in subwatered
benches.

These trials therefore indicate that
the first method described above, name-
ly, sterilization of the soil in a solid
bed, using 3-inch tiles laid ten inches
deep and sixteen inches apart as steam
conduits, is practical and involves less
labor, although possibly requiring a
greater volume of steam than would be
necessary in treating the soil in a box
or other specially constructed device.
They also indicate that sterilization of
the soil in place in beds subwatered by
means of galvanized pans and layers of
porous bricks is too wasteful of steam
to be considered a practical method.

The experiments of the Vermont Sta-
tion agree with those of the Massachu-
setts Station in showing that soil steril-
ization is an effective means of pre-
venting or controlling some of the worst
enemies of greenhouse plants. Professor
Stuart considers it "one of the most
rimportant of the more recent develop-
ments of greenhouse technique" and be-
lieves that "on account of the severe in-
jury so frequently caused by mematodes
to tomatoes and cucumbers when grown
under glass the sterilization of green-
house soil has become almost a neces-
sity when the soil is thus infested."

A DETROIT TEA GARDEN.

The accompanying illustration shows
the result of a rather unusual order re-
ceived by the Bemb Floral Co., Detroit.
The call was for the construction of a
Japanese tea garden and as it was to be
a permanent feature of the store in which
it was erected, the builder, Albert Poch-
elon, was enabled to use only artificial
and prepared flowers and foliage. The
framework is made entirely of bamboo,
using for decorative purposes, besides a
number of variously shaped Japanese
lanterns, purple beach, uva leaves and

prepared phoenix leaves, the whole giv-
ing a very pretty effect. H. 8.

CONVENTIQN SPORTS.

In addition to the bowling tournament,
for which elegant team and individual
prizes have been provided, a suitable
number of prizes will be provided for
competition by the trap shooters. The
skill of the florist shooters, having been
exploited in this city, has called forth
a challenge from one of our local clubs
for a friendly team shoot, either five
men or ten men teams. We hope that all
florists skilled in this sport will bring
their guns, so that we may qualify a
team that will uphold our reputation
and that will be able to hustle these
local shooters, and there are some good
ones. H. M. Altick, Chairman.

PHILADELPHIA 1907.

Ai a meeting of the Florists' Club of
Philadelphia on Monday, August 6, it
was unanimously voted to invite the So-
ciety of American Florists to hold its
convention of 1907 in the City of
Brotherly Love.

POTTING LILIES.

In potting Easter lilies is it best to
fill ihe pot to within an inch of the top,
potting firmly, or is it best to fill the pot
one-naif or two-thirds with soil, leav-
ing a place for mulching when needed?
Would this encourage disease if not very
careifuUy watered? J. H.

Some years ago we adopted the plan
of keeping the soil in our lily pots two
inches below the top of the pot, and
when removing to the greenhouse filling
up io the usual height with rich com-
post to feed the stem roots. "We aban-
doned this plan because for several weeks
it was difficult to tell whether you were
giving too much water or too little. A
better plan is to fill the pot to the usual
height, but keep the bulb two inches
below the surface and be rather spar-
ing of water for the first month after
potting, or until you see the leaves push-
ing through the soil. You will then
know that root action has begun. Cover
the surface of the soil of the newly
potted lilies with some light material to
keep the sun from parching the soil
daily. W. S.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

Cut flower trade has not improved and
nothing is looked for until September 1.
There was considerable funeral work
last week and some of the florists were
kept quite busy during the morning
hours. Good cut stock continues scarce.
A sudden call for any quantity would
cause trouble in obtaining the stock at
home.

Roses, as they come to the market,
show the effects of the hot weather, be-
ing soft, especially Brides and Maids.
It is a hard matter to get first-class
Beauties in this weather. Carnations,
too, are poor. Those in the market are
from the field and are small. Pink and
red are scarce.

The glut is on in asters, every house
being loaded with them, and they are
sold at low prices; $1.50 is top. Tube-
roses and gladioli still are coming in
heavily. Sweet peas are about over
for this year. Little valley is to be
had. Greens as usual.

Various Note*.

Gus H. Kirk, formerly with Stumpp
& Walter Co., New York, called last
week. He now is advance agent for
Wilbur's attractions, but expects to be
back in the business next fall.

W. J. Pilcher, of Kirkwood, visited
J. F. Ammann at Edwardsville last
week. He found the place in fine
shape.

John Gibson, formerly in the employ
of the North Floral Co. and now in
business at Olney, 111., called on the
trade last week.

George Angermueller and Charles
Schoenle were off on a fishing trip last
week. They reported good luck.

Vincent Gorley, of Grimm & Gorley,
was in a smash-up while out automo-
biling last week. The young lady

with him, who is in his employ, was
badly hurt.

The bedding in Forest park looks well,
there being more of it this season than
ever. Superintendent Ostertag says it
will be increased from year to year.

At the club meeting Thursday after-
noon a hot old time is expected over
the election of officers, there being two
or more candidates for each office. A
large attendance is expected, as the
younger element is out hustling to make
this the banner meeting of the year. At
least seven applications for membership
will be presented at this meeting.

D. I. Bushnell, the seedsman, got back
from his trip abroad last week and
looks in the best of health.

William Winter, of Kirkwood, who
spent a week visiting the different grow-
ers through Illinois, has returned much
pleased with his trip.

CUTTING LILIES.

Kindly let me know regarding the
cutting of hardy lilies where they are
supposed to flower from year to year?
Should the flowers be cut short or can
one cut with good length of stem and
expect them to do fully as well another
year? J. H.

You should not cut the stems of lilies
of any species lower than is necessary
for the use you have for them. The
more you cut of the stem, the more
you weaken the bulb which is to give

you the flower next year. It is quite
different with a tulip, hyacinth or nar-
cissus. The flower of these can be cut
off close to the bulb because there is
plenty of foliage left to nourish the
bulb, ' but with a lily the stem is about
all there is left at flowering time.

OBITUARY.

James Hartshome*

The trade has lost one of its best-
known, most popular and progressive men
in the death of James Hartshome, which
took place at his home at Joliet at 2
o'clock on the afternoon of Monday,
August 6. The news came as a shock
to the craft, for he had been ill but a
couple of days. He had complained,
but it was not until Saturday that his
illness took a serious turn, and a physi-
cian was summoned. The doctor diag-
nosed the trouble as appendicitis, and
three specialists were called from Chi-
cago. They considered an immediate
operation the only hope, and performed
it at midnight. It proved, however, that
it was too late, for the patient grew
steadily weaker until the end.

James Hartshome was born at Shrop-
shire, England, in 1869, coming to this
country when only 19 years of age. He
had received a good training in garden-
ing, and, after landing at Boston, soon
went to Exeter, N. H., to work on the
estate of the late Charles Burley. Here
he remained until he became convinced
that Horace Greeley's advice was sound,
and, following the star of empire, west-
ward took his way. He came to Chicago
the year before the World's Fair. He
had intended to seek a share in the
gardening work at the exposition, but
found it expedient to enter the com-
mercial ranks instead, and took a posi-
tion with the late John C. Ure, where
Mr. Hartshome 's skill enhanced the al-
ready fine reputation of the place for
bedding plants, but particularly for car-
nations, which were grown in a not very
extensive way, but on a large enough
scale to permit him to show his especial
skill with this flower. It was during
this period that Mr. Hartshome mar-
ried Mr. Ure's daughter, who survives
him, with five children.

In 1897 Mr. Hartshome became gar-
dener for Harlow N. Higinbotham, hav-
ing charge at his city residence on Mich-
igan avenue and also of the grounds at
the country home near Joliet, where J.
D. Thompson was manager of a farm of
1,500 acres. This was at the time when
the carnation was in the first flush of
its present popularity, and the success
which was attending Mr. Hartshome 's
work with the flower could have but one
result: First Mr. Thompson and then
Mr. Higinbotham became imbued with
the gardener's enthusiasm. The organ-
ization of the Chicago Carnation Co. was
the result, a fine range of glass being
erected on the Higinbotham estate at
Joliet, equipped with every facility for
the production of high grade stock. How
well it has served this purpose the en-
tire trade knows. The Chicago Carna-
tion Co. at once became one of the lead-
ing exhibitors of the country, carrying
off prizes too numerous to mention, but
almost always the most coveted trophies
of every great exhibition. It is safe to
say that to James Hartshome, fully as
much as to any other individual, is due
the present development of the carnation
as a florists' flower. By staging such

fine stock be inspired in others a spirit
of emulation which went farther than
any work of the hybridizer to further the
interests of the flower. There are to-
day hundreds of growers of splendid
flowers who were content to plod along
producing indifferent quality until they
saw the magnificent stock which result-
ed from Mr. Hartshorne's intensive cul-
ture. In the course of time Mr. Thomp-
son withdrew and started for himself,
as the Thompson Carnation Co.

The Chicago Carnation Co. has during
its entire existence been a leader in the
dissemination of new varieties. Several
of Mr. Hartshorne's seedlings were sent
out, as Marshall Field, Mrs. Potter Pal-
mer, Mrs. Higinbotham, Harlowarden,
Her Majesty, Illinois and others, but in
recent years the apparently best sorts
of other hybridizers have been handled.
Cardinal was one of the first of these,
followed by Fiancee, for which, Mr.
Hartshorne has stated he paid $10,000
to F. Dorner & Sons Co. As to any of
the varieties for which Mr. Hartshorne
stood sponsor, if any failed to give
satisfaction, it was to his keen regret.
If enthusiasm in any case blinded his
judgment it must be accepted in exten-
uation that never was a more hospitable
welcome given than was accorded the
visitor at Joliet, with full freedom of
the place. Little wonder is it that
"Jimmy's" sanguine nature usually
proved infectious with visitors. At the
time of his death he was engaged in
putting out Aristocrat, raised by K. Wit-
terstaetter, on which, it is asserted, the
Chicago Carnation Co. staked a larger
sum than changed hands on any other
new sort. The company, besides doing a
heavy trade in cuttings, ships cut blooms
direct, has a stand in the store of
the E. F. Winterson Co., Chicago, and
produces a large line of stock for a
handsome retail store in Joliet.

It was but natural that Mr. Harts-
horne's work for the carnation should
be recognized by its patron society in
other ways than by the medals won by
his exhibits. At the Brooklyn meeting
in 1903 he was elected vice-president,
and at the Detroit meeting in 1904 he
was, by acclamation, elected president of
the Carnation Society, presiding at the
Chicago convention the year following.
In 1899 he was elected president of the
Chicago Florists' Club, and made an
excellent officer. He was also a life
member of the Society of American
Florists, and was a member and active
in all undertakings of the Horticultural
Society of Chicago, the Chrysanthemum
Society of America, the American Peony
Society and the Illinois State Florists'
Society. Mr. Hartshorne was a mem-
ber of the Masonic fraternity, and at
the same time he found leisure for the
Elks in Joliet, and many are the pleas-
ant hours visiting florists have put in
at the Elks' Club under his guidance.
Once a year at least the Chicago bowl-
ers have gone to Joliet as his guests,
and these were relaxations which will
never bo forgotten, although whole-
souled Jimmy is gone. The last time
most of the craft saw him in life was
upon the occasion of the Florists' Club's
picnic at Joliet, June 24, when his ef-
forts contributed much to the pleasures
of the day. There was a large dele-
gation of the Chicago Florists' Club at
the funeral at 2 p. m, "Wednesday, Au-
gust 8. The party, which went out on
the 11:45 train, was the first sad one
which ever journeyed to Joliet. The
funeral was in charge of the Masons.

James Weir, Jr.

James Weir, Jr., former president of
the Brooklyn board of aldermen, and
a member of the board of education,
died on his yacht, Senta, at Shelter
Island, N. Y,, August 2. He was a
florist, at 236 Twenty-fifth street,
Brooklyn, and widely known on both
sides of the East river. Mr. Weir's
death was due to a ruptured heart.

Mr. Weir became a member of the
Brooklyn board of aducation by appoint-
ment by Mayor Whitney in 1886. He
had been elected an alderman in 1879,
and had served until 1883, being presi-
dent of the board in 1881. He was a
former commodore of the Atlantic and
Staten Island Yacht Clubs, and a
director in several banks and trust com-
panies. He was 62 years old, and leaves
a widow, two daughters aud a son.

Adam Kimbel.

Adam Kimbel, who made a fortune at
landscape gardening, died at his home at
St. Matthews, Ky., July 20, at the age of
85 years. His death was due to old age.
Mr. Kimbel was born in Saxony, Ger-
many, but came to Louisville in 1844.
He was the father of five children, and
his grandchildren number twenty. These
latter were the especial delight of the
old man, and he was never happier than
when several were visitors at his country
home. His wife died five years ago.

Mrs. R. Maitre.

Mrs. Christina Maitre passed away
July 27. She had been in the florist
business in New Orleans, with her hus-
band, since 1857, and was the first woman

to engage in the business there. She
was probably better known among the
Germans than almost any woman in ,the
city. She was the wife of the late Rein-
hard Maitre and was a Miss Hehm. She
was bom in Bavaria and was 64 years
old at the time of her death. When she
came to New Orleans with her family
she was but 2 years old. Mr. Maitre was
at first gardener for James Robb and
afterward for Burnside, at the place
where the Newcomb college stands. They
had a garden at Magazine and Foucher
streets, and afterward the business was
run by Maitre & Cook, the latter being
Matthew Cook, the CarroUton florist, '
Mrs. Maitre and her husband moved to
CarroUton in 1884, and lived on St.
Charles avenue until recently. Mr!
Maitre retired from business in 1893, and
died in April, 1896.

The Maitres had a store on old Camp
street years ago, then moved to 602 Mag-
azine, and later built the place now occu-
pied by the Lafayette Insurance Co., be-
tween Jackson and Josephine. Then
they moved to a building on Camp street,
near Canal, where the Morris building
now stands, and after several years went
to the Pickwick building, where they
were at the time they retired from busi-
ness.

MRS. LAWSON DEAD.

The estimable lady for whom the Mrs.
Thomas W. Lawson carnation was named
died at her home, near Boston, August 6.

Watertown, S. D.— Wm. McNicol has
built a house 22x100 and will grow car-
nations and lettuce. This is a cold coun-
try, the winter temperature sometimes
going 40 degrees below zero.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market

The demand has had a relapse, or
perhaps it is that the receipts of sum-
mer flowers have becon.e so heavy that
the needs of the trade make little im-
pression upon the daily arrivals. At
any rate, the call for roses and car-
nations is not so brisk as a week
ago. There are enough of each,
and some to spare, of satisfactory
summer quality. The receipts of
roses are beginning to increase be-
cause of the cut from young plants.
Some outdoor carnations also are com-
ing in.

The glut of asters, gladioli and
auratum lilies is something beyond all
control. Strictly first-class asters are
not abundant and occasionally some are
seen which sell as high as $4 per hun-
dred. But there are uncounted thou-
sands of the low grade stock which are
sold in job lots at whatever the buyer
is pleased to offer. Murmuring is
heard from discontented growers, who
feel that this stock is not realizing what
it should, but all are in the same boat.
With gladioli it is the same, except that
few are good enough to command
special consideration. Auratum lilies
were never more numerous.

There are a few good sweet peas and
quite a number of short-stemmed flow-
ers. Dahlias are in. Phloxes, snap-
dragon, gaillardia and other items in
this class are equal to all requirements.
Valley is not especially abundant.
There is little call for green goods.

Wholesalers in general report fair
total sales but low average prices.

The Poehlmann Plant.

The Poehlmann Bros. Co. has com-
pleteo the new stack at Morton Grove,
This is the biggest chimney for miles
around, being 115 feet high and con-
taining 1,200,000 bricks. At its foot
are four water-tube boilers, two of 250
horse-power each and two of 200 horse-
power each. Circulation of steam is
made very rapid by the use of vacuum
pumps.

The importance of the subject of heat-
ing, and the care with which it is
studied by up-to-date growers, is shown
by the fact that John Poehlmann, presi-
dent of the company, states that their
estimate of the cost of heating for the
coming season is between $45,000 and
$50,000. The enlarged plant will require
retaining close to 125 men on the pay
roll, ■

Variout Notes.

F, W. Timme yesterday sailed from
Baltimore on the Ehein to spend two
months in Germany, Switzerland, France
and Scotland, Mr. Timme has not been
back to his birthplace since he left it
fifty years ago. He says this is the
first occasion on which he has had both
the money and the leisure at the same
time, and he could not let the opportun-
ity slip,

Gus Lange is doing a nice summer
business at his new store on Madison
street. A vase of Killarney roses out-
side of the door with a sign, "25 cents
a dozen," brings to mind the adage
about the diflSculty an old dog has in
learning new tricks,

C. L. Washburn went to northern Wis-
consin Tuesday to spend the balance of
the week.

Auratum lilies have held the fort this
week at Hunt's, the receipts having been
in the thousands.

The Chicago Rose Co. has been having
a special sale on florists' knives this
week. They say a dollar in hand is
worth two in knives in the safe.

Otto Goerisch, of the A. L, Bandall
force, is on a fortnight's vacation.

Leonard Kill says that all the visitors
at Peter Reinberg's are favorably im-
pressed with the new Mrs, Marshall
Field rose. They are beginning to cut
fine Stems,

Wietor Bros, have had all their roses
planted for some time and have about
80,000 carnations benched, practically
half of the season's stock. They are
cutting fine Beauties from young plants,

Mr. and Mrs, C. W. McKellar have
returned from a few days spent at
Paw Paw Lake.

Kruchten & Johnson are handling
phloxes, among other outdoor stock, and
report a good sale to retailers who want
something bright for the store windows.

Zech & yiann are handling a big lot
of lancifolium lilies of fine quality.

E. F. Winterson has returned from a
two weeks' course at Dr, Riley's sani-
tarium near Mt, Clemens, a place recom-
mended to him by the Breitmeyers, His
rheumatism was much benefited,

John Enders, of the Poehlmann Bros.
Co., is on a fortnight's vacation in Wis-
consin, While Otto Frese was resting
he visited the Poehlmann greenhouses,
the first time he had been there since
he became connected with the firm. He
thinks it worthy of record.

tion F. F. Benthey will spend a few days
with his brother at New Castle.

J. A. Budlong is beginning to cut
quite heavily from young Beauties",
Brides and Maids. The latter are
largely grafted stock this year and the
firm's success with them will be a matter
of interest to all growers.

George Eeinberg expects to have his
entire place replanted this week. The
carnations are being housed rapidly. All
stock looks good.

The Kennicott Bros. Co. reports July
as excellent in point of total sales.
Prices have been low, but the aggregate
is well up to last year, when July was
an exceptionally good month.

Vaughan & Sperry are busy taking
stock. They are well satisfied with the
year which ended August 1, but look
forward to much better things for the
coming season.

Percy Jones is making preparations
to extend his business this season.
Visits to his growers, he says, show
young stock in excellent shape.

John Sinner is preserving his fishing
complexion by spending a part of each
afternoon at work in the greenhouses.
Just now they are busy repainting.

Weiland & Bisch are cutting lightly at
present, but Killarney is coming in
nicely. They have a handsome ttiew
cover design for their periodical price-
list this fall.

E. C. Amling reports July business
ahead of even last July, which he says
is cause for much satisfaction. Prob-
aoly the Beauty crop did it, but he is
handling great quantities of summer
flowers.

W. J. Smyth is at his summer home
at Antioch, coming in one or two days
a week to see how they are progressing
with the work of remodeling and re-
decorating at the store.

The Koropps, Leopold and Henry, in
Lake View, report trade quiet but feel
satisfied with the last year.

Charles Balluff, of the Eaton store
on Jackson boulevard, has had a fort-
night's vacation. C. H. Grant, formerly
with J. H. Small & Son at New York,
is now a member of the Eaton staff.

July was right on the weather oflSce's
average for the last thirty-six years,
in point of temperature, but in rainfall
it was 1.15 inches ahead of the average.

Nevertheless we are 4.64 inches short
of the normal rainfall to date this year.

home appears elsewhere in this issue.

NEW YORK.

The Market.

Old St. Swithin has been busy of late
in demonstrating the old superstition as
to rain and has made a remarkable
record.

Every day for three weeks the skies
have leaked and several of the watery
downfalls have been floods. We have
been soaked with them, and with un-

bearable humidity, until business begins
to feel the paralysis and complaint is
general. Outside vegetation thrives,
however, in our porous soil, and the
market gardeners especially have crops
that will bulge their bank accounts this
fall.

Following the excessive rains, the heat
on Sunday reached nearly 100 degrees.
New York isn't such an attractive spot
in the dog-days after all. But every-
body in the florists' business has been,
is, or will be away for a time, to the
adjacent mountains, and we can reach
them in three directions, the Catskills,
the Orange and the Ramapo hills, within
an hour.

The shipments of cut flowers increase
daily, and for summer the quality is
superb. Roses especially are improving,
Beauties and Kaiserins particularly,
and carnations begin to show a return
to form, as the horsemen among the
wholesalers express it. It is remark-
able what an interest in the noble ani-
mal has developed during the last
month, and in some cases quite a little
principal as well. Now that we are to
have no real flower show this fall, and
the cut flower business is asleep, some-
thing has to be done to prevent complete
dissolution.

The cactus dahlias are here, beauties
and lots of them. Asters simply over-
whelm the market with their abundance,
and gladioli, well — 1 saw a quarter of a
million of them one day last week, and
so it seems to be every day, with every-
body handling them and prices some-
times unmentionable, though here good
stock of anything never goes unappre-
ciated.

Various Notes.

Poughkeepsie violet plants do not
seem to have suffered from the an-
nounced disease that was reported from
further north, a letter from Philip
Devoy this week announcing the stock
never so promising as now.

Benjamin Hammond, of Fishkill,
maintains his reputation for oratory and
authorship, an interesting letter in the
New York Press last week bringing him
again into the favorable limelight. Mr.
Hammond will be at Dayton with sev-
eral other horticultural lights from up
the Hudson. We expect our special con-
vention cars to be filled and to pick
up a lot of enthusiasts from Boston,
Utica, Syracuse, Rochester and Buffalo

at the funeral of the late James Weir,
Jr. on Saturday. Mr. Weir was born
in England in 1843, and has lived over

sixty years in Brooklyn. In 1856 he
began the florists' business. He was a
member of many financial institutions
and social organizations, the F. & A. M.
and Shelter Island Yacht Club, the
Crescent Athletic and Staten Island
Yacht Club among them. He was an
alderman, member of the board of edu-
cation and of the general committee of
the democratic party. He was uni-
versally esteemed and had a wide circle
of friends who mourn his sudden death.
He was stricken at the helm of his yacht
during the races between the Rhode
Island, Hartford, Sachems Head and
Shelter Island Yacht clubs. The cause
of death was rupture of the blood ves-
sels of the heart. Mr. Weir leaves a
widow, a son and three daughters. The
flags of all vacation schools have been
placed at half mast. ^Ir. WVir's florist
business was one of the largest in the
east. It will be continued by his son.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market

There is very little that is encourag-
ing to report about business conditions
in the cut flower market. The extremely
hot weather has had a bad effect both
on the quality of the flowers coming
into town and on the demand. Asters
are plentiful; the poorer ones can be
had at extraordinarily low figures in job
lots. This has had' an effect on the

they were two weeks ago. Their place

not very good just now. There seems
more demand, with possibly less supply,

Recent Importations.

Eeview readers were given last week
a few of the many new ideas in the
shape of florists' supply novelties now
coming into the warehouses of H. Bay-
ersdorfer & Co., in this city. Mr. Bay-
ersdorfer kindly consented to continue
his chat about these novelties for a few
minutes one afternoon this week. The
screen idea brought out so successfully
last year has been improved on two lines
this season. The screens come singly in
various heights from four and one-half
to seven feet, being arranged so that
they can be readily fastened together,
making a continuous screen to any
length desired. They may be tersely de-
scribed under two heads, the rich man's,
very elaborate, and the poor man 's,
a simple screen. Both are excellent. The
samples of many-colored straw for bas-
kets are pleasing. The color combina-
tions include some striking effects in
yellow and old gold, bronze, silver, and
many colors. Some pretty hampers for
cut flowers are made of two-colored
straw, a darker and a lighter shade of
the same color, usually pink, being most
eflfective. The improvements in the qual-
ity of Porto Rican mats is marked, the
newer productions having a much more
finished appearance than those we are
accustomed to using.

The gem of the whole collection, so
far, is the new colored toneware. The
artistic styles and shapes familiar to

I seem fated in describing baseball
games to call forth the divine quality in
others. Possibly this is due to an ex-
cess of work preventing my joining the

I had no invitation. Be that as it may,
the following correction from H. H. Bat-
tles is accepted with proper humility:

1 have not a copy of The ReTlew before me,
but as I read your report of the baseball game.
It seemed that you gave me the credit of pro-
viding the "hospitality." I guess you meant
the edibles and soft drlnlcables. Will you
please correct the statement? My employees
accepted the challenge, provided the refresh-
ments and won the game against possibly the

Bowling.

With the hope of lulling the members
of the other bowling teams into fancied
security, the Review has held aloof from
local bowlers so far this season. Civic
pride now demands that an active inter-
est be taken in this great sport in which
our bowling team has won so proud a
place at almost every convention. A
spirited contest has been taking place
for the last few weeks between the
leading bowlers of the Florists' Club.
A series of twelve games was first rolled
to determine the men from whom our
team at Dayton was to be selected. Then
followed a series of five matches, each
match to consist of three games, two, I
think, on home, and three on outside al-
leys. Tour of these matches have been
rolled, and the fifth will be rolled the
end of this week. Following are the
scores by matches of their games:

55. — My yearly pay roll amounts to

twenty-two per cent of my gross re-
ceipts. How does that compare with
other growers?

It is difficult to make a fair compari-
son unless the same class of stock is
grown, and size of place. In a gen-
eral way it may be said that twenty-
two per cent is low. (Growers are in-
vited to compare, stating the class of
stock grown.) To avoid confusion on
the above point, the following case is
pertinent: A grower spends $100 a year
on ' labor on every 1,000 square feet of
glass, realizing therefor $400. His
neighbor spends $150 a year on every
1,000 square feet of glass, and his gross
receipts are $500. The first man's pay
roll is twenty-five per cent of gross re-
ceipts, but he only has $300 per 1,000
square feet of glass for his other ex-
penses and his profit, whUe his neigh-
bor, who is spending thirty per cent on
his pay roll, has $350 per 1,000 square,
feet for the same purpose. Phil.

CLEVELAND.

Friends of the flower in all sections
of the country are looking forward with
great interest to the gladiolus contest to
be held at Euclid beach, in the old log
cabin, August 15 to 19, under the aus-
pices of the Euclid Avenue Gardeners'
Club.

This is the first contest of the kind
to be held in this section and its pur-
pose is to determine which are the best
varieties of gladioli for amateurs to
grow. Growers of the flower from all
parts of the United States have promised
to take part in the contest, but no person
will be permitted to enter an exhibit ex-

cept those who have produced new varie-
ties.

The Euclid Avenue Gardeners' Club,
which is to conduct the contest, was or-
ganized about one year ago and is com-
posed of about twenty-five residents of
Euclid avenue and their gardeners. The
officers are: Arthur G. Babcock, presi-
dent; Henry C. Loomis, secretary;
George H. Humphrey, assistant secre-
tary; Joe H. Kuzell, treasurer; Edwin
S. Babcock, assistant treasurer.

The awards for the winning varieties
of gladioli at the contest will be records
of merit issued by the Gardeners' Club.
The judges are to be selected from
among the best florists of the country.

In the evening of the first day an ad-
dress on gladioli will be delivered in the
old log cabin by Matthew W. Crawford,
of Cuyahoga Falls.

BOSTON.

The Market

Business remains in a half comatose
condition. Very little good material
comes in, but plenty of poorer grades.
Boses sell at practically any price which
may be offered. Extreme prices are
50 cents and $6 per hundred. Good
carnations are scarce and bring $1.50
to $2 per hundred. Inferior grades run
down to 50 cents. Asters are now abun-
dant. The best bring $1, but poorer
stock sells at 25 cents per hundred and
even lower. Sweet peas, owing to the
continuous rain and humid atmosphere,
have been of little value.

Gladioli are good, at last week's
prices, and are useful for window orna-

Exhibition*

There was an excellent show at Horti-
cultural hall on August 4, it being prize
day for phloxes, herbaceous plants and
annuals. There were fine displays of
these. For not less than 100 vases of
annuals M. Sullivan, gardener to W.
Whitman, won with a well arranged
and representative collection. Wm.
Thatcher, gardener to Mrs. J. L.
Gardner, was second, Mrs. E. M. Gill
third. Blue Hill Nurseries won for
thirty varieties herbaceous plants with a
fine table, the best seen at a Boston show
for a long time. For twelve varieties
of perennial phloxes prizes went to T.
C. Thurlow & Son, W. Whitman, H. A.
Stevens Co. and W. iJ. Winter, in order
named. Some of the best phloxes staged
were B. P. Struthers, Le Cygne,
Luminpux, Blue Hills, Monatiquot,
Saison Lierval, Eugenie Danzanvilliers,
Pyramide, Coquelicot, Flambeau, Esper-
ance, Simpton, Bichard Wallace and
Amphitryon.

Honorary displays of phloxes came
from T. C. Thurlow & Son, Blue Hill
Nurseries, Longwater Gardens, E. L.
Dwyer and others. There was a grand
show of dahlias, which filled several
tables, from Joseph Thorpe, W. G. Win-
sor, A. E. Johnson, Towles Dahlia Gar-
dens, W. W. Kawson & Co., W. C. Winter
and Mrs. J. B. Lawrence. The damp
summer has suited dahlias and a grand
display will be forthcoming at the an-
nual September show. General displays
were made by Blue Hill Nurseries, Mrs.
A. W. Blake, J. L. Smith gardener; E.
L. Lewis, W. Whitman, Mrs. E. W.
Gill and Mrs. J. B. Lawrence.

nine Hill Nurseries received a first-
class certificate for Gypsophila pani-
culata flore pleno, which will prove a first-
class florists' flower. They also showed
Aster amellus Perry's Favorite and a
blue delphinium. Lap^r & Hurrell were
awarded honorable mention for Vanda
teres Miss Agnes Joachin. They also
showed two Lselia elegans. E. L. Dwyer
received honorable mention for Heuchera
brizoides. C. W. Parker had splendid
spikes of Lilium superbum and hybrid
tea roses. Bobert Cameron, from the
Harvard Botanic Gardens, had a magnif-
icent display of annuals and perennials
in 250 varieties filling 200 feet of table,
which made a whole show in themselves.

Various Notes.

T. D. Hatfield, of Wellesley, has been
chosen to succeed James "Wheeler as a
member of the plant and flower com-
mittee of the Massachusetts Horticul-
tural Society.

B. J. McGinty has resigned his posi-
tion as head salesman for N. F. Mc-
^ Carthy & Co. and is now selling for
several growers at the Music Hall
Market.

F. T. White, Sr., is at Scituate on a
fl.shing trip.

Mr. and Mrs. Henry Penn are spend-
ing a vacation at Portland, Me.

Little convention talk is heard and
at this time it does not look as though
Boston would send a large delegation.
If weather conditions prove more
pleasant than thoy have been for a
month, more of the craft may decide
to go to Dayton. No one feels inclined
to travel far inland as climatic condi-
tions are at present.

July gave us only five clear days
and six and a half inches of rain.
August started in with four damp, sun-
less days and does not look like im-

proving much on the preceding month's
record. It has been tedious for hay-
making, but lawns never looked more
beautiful than this season, and vegeta-
tion generally is luxuriant.

DETROIT.

The Market.

Business seems to have picked up
some, despite the warm weather. Roses
are quite scarce, Maids seeming almost
extinct. Carnations are also scarce, and
are hardly ever called for. Asters are
plentiful, but not of extra fine quality.
Sweet peas are short-stemmed.

Qub Meeting.

The annual meeting of the Detroit
Florists' Club was held at the club room
in the Cowie building, August 1, 1906,
and was well attended. The election of
officers was held, and three were re-
elected to serve another year, namely:
William Dilger, as president; J. F. Sul-
livan, as secretary; and Walter Taepke,
as treasurer. E. A. Scribner was elected
vice-president, and William Brown libra-
rian.

Treasurer Taepke made an exception-
ally large haul, erasing a good sum of
dues from the books.

Mr. Olschefski was unanimously elect-
ed a member of the club.

Vice-president-elect Scribner spoke of

the necessity of providing more enter-
tainment for the members, in the shape
of essays or lectures, in order to assure
a still larger attendance.

A vote of thanks was extended William
Brown for his services rendered the club
as chairman of the entertainment com-
mittee; the success of the outing was
■ mostly due to his efforts.

A motion was made to hold the meet-
ings at the Michigan Cut Flower Ex-
cnange, and on a rising vote being
taken, it was decided to do so after the
expiration of the present quarter, Oc-
tober 1. The Michigan Cut Flower Ex-
change has very kindly turned over a
large room in its quarters to the use of
the club, light, heat and all being free of
charge.

Detroit to Dayton*

At the club's last meeting the mem-
bers were urgently, requested to attend
the coming convention. The fare for the
round trip being only $5.80, every one
can aflford to and should attend ; in fact,
we owe it to our brethren in Dayton to
turn out in large numbers, as they have
made a special effort to have this meet-
ing outclass all others.

In procuring tickets do not fail to
ask for the certificate entitling you to
a return trip at one-third the regular
rate. This certificate, after being vali-
dated by the S. A. F, secretary, is good
to return thfee days after the conven-
tion, not including Sunday.

The bulk of the delegation of about
twenty-five from Detroit will leave on
the 12:35 noon train, Monday, August
20, over the C, H. & D., arriving at
Toledo at 2:10 p. m., and due at Day-
ton at 6 p. m., and will make their
headquarters at the Phillips Hotel.

The Market

The market the last two weeks has
been practically featureless. A visit
to the different stores invariably im-
pressed one with the scarcity of stock;
moat of that to be seen is not of first-
class quality.

Brides and Maids of good quality are
scarce. Chatenay perhaps bears the best
flowers and stems. The white and pink
of other varieties are small of bud and
foliage. Mildewed Beauties are also
seen, most of the growers having thrown
them out, and it is almost impossible to
get many of long stems, although a few
good medium and short stems are seen.
Carnations, that is, good ones, manage
to bring a fair price, although most of
the stock has short stems and small
flowers. Asters are coming in now in
quantity and are taking the place of
carnations. Outdoor stock of all kinds
is arriving in good qualities. Sweet peas
are coming in large quantities and are
of good quality, but the price is low,
as many people have their back yards
full of them. The average price is 10
to 20 cents per hundred. Shasta daisies
are more satisfactory, and are of good
quality. Gladioli are also fine; choice
stock retails for $1 per dozen and makes
a fine window display.

Urbana, O. — A severe hail storm swept
over this county July 27, causing thou-
sands of dollars damage to garden and
farm crops, many acres of sweet corn
and tomatoes being totally destroyed.
Hailstones the size of hen's eggs were
numerous, some even larger, being the
largest ever known to fall in this lo-
cality.

Vlce-Pres^CharleB Burge. Toledo, O.; Sec'y and
Treas., C. E. Kendel, Cleveland. The 25th annual
meeting will be held at New York City, June, 1907,

D. I. BuSHNELL, St. Louis, has re-
turned from a European trip.

Heavy hail in Champaign county,
Ohio, July 27, did considerable damage
to corn growing for seed purposes.

Everett Davis states that the Davis-
Elton Realty Co., St. Louis, is no longer
interested in the seed business.

S. D. Dysinger, formerly of St. Paul
and later at Chicago, will make a trip
to the Pacific coast before assuming a
new connection.

The Louisville onion set harvest is
completed and the product as reported by
the majority of the growers is one-half
of what it was last year.

If it were not for the exhilarating
uncertainty as to what this or that crop
is going to pan out, these hot days would
be dull for the average seedsman.

The Michigan bean fields are reported
as suffering from lack of rain and the
New York crop rusting badly from an
oversupply of it. These conditions ought
to put prices up a notch or two.

It has been remarked that little de-
pendence can be placed upon crop re-
ports; still the man who ia willing to
take even a blind crack at an object is
more interesting than the one who won't
shoot at all.

It is reported that the seed depart-
ment of the largest of the Chicago gen-
eral mail order houses did a business of
$90,000 in three months this spring. It
was exclusively mail trade and mostly
for small amounts.

Onion seed for future delivery is not
bringing as good prices as conditions
would warrant. There is said to be a
good crop at Louisville this year, but
as the product of that section is only
used at home, and mostly for sets, it
should cut little figure.

The canners are likely to be in the
market for unusual quantities of peas
for next season 's seed, as the early pack,
especially in New York, turned out short
and the late varieties are giving an even
ligliter yield for the packers. Wiscon-
sin canners also report light packs.

The department of agriculture has is-
sued, as Farmers' Bulletin No. 254, a
pamphlet entitled "Cucumbers," by
L. C. Corbett, horticulturist in charge
of the Arlington experimental farm.
The growing of cucumbers, both in the
open and under glass, is fully described,
and all seedsmen and growers will find
in it much of interest.

A MAN who is an enthusiast in his
business usually has the faculty of im-
parting some of his enthusiasm to others.
So it is with Henry Field, of Shenan-
doah, la. Every little while he gathers
the newspaper men of his town and
takes them to see some new thing at
his place, or a bed of flowers, telling the
papers to invite the public. So he has a
steady stream, or at least a rill, of visit-
ors through his trial ground at Sleepy
Hollow.

It is generally believed that not much
in the way of French-grown radish seed
is being carried over by the American
seed houses. This, in view of the re-
ported shortage of the coming crop, will
be a handicap to those who bank on
French-grown seed for their market
garden trade.

HARRISU BULBS.

A large handler of Harrisii says that
while it is undoubtedly true that more
bulbs have arrived from Bermuda than
came last year, still it does not in the
least alleviate the troubles of the im-
porters, who have generally booked or-
ders to a greater total than that of the
year before. In addition, it ia a fact
that the 7x9 size and larger show a fall-
ing off, the increased production being
in the small bulbs. This importer writes
that some houses will no doubt be unable
to fill orders for the larger sizes and that
the urgency of the calls sent to Bermuda
has resulted in the shipment of consider-
able stock which will not improve the

EUROPEAN SEED NOTES.

This is the seedsman's quiet time, and
retail houses are mostly engaged in en-
deavoring to get their money in for
goods sold in the spring. In England
at least this will prove an easier task
than for several previous years, as the
trade in England generally is much bet-
ter for all classes, and money is not so
tight. The wholesale houses are mostly
engaged in roguing and getting the
premises cleaned up ready for future
harvest deliveries, and their representa-

tives are preparing to take their annual
journey gettiilg orders.

It is very satisfactory to report that
favorable weather continues, warm with
occasional showers, and this is causing
most crops to continue to improve. There
is some talk of mildew in onion, which
may or may not be serious. B. J.

HARVEST DAYS.

It is an impressive sight to see the
harvest of onion sets in full swing in
the district north of Chicago, and gives
as perhaps can be given in no other
way an idea of the magnitude of the
businesfi as it is conducted by Chicago 's
principal growers. All the help possible
to pi'ocure is put at work, and for the
last week the following advertisement
has appeared in Chicago daily papers:

The same train carries workers for the

It carries often a thousand people, who
go into the fields after sets, or to do
the work of the market gardeners with
whom the district abounds. The sets
are gathered in half-bushel baskets and
as each basket is turned in the inspector
calls out the worker's number, from
which a checker makes a record from
which payment is made in silver at 6
o'clock every night. The line to the pay-
master is a long one, but payment to the
hundreds of workers, each one with num-
bered check in hand, is made in a few
minutes.

GERMAN SEED CROPS.

In the vicinity of Quedlinburg the
spring was cold and wet, which rendered
the planting of most of the root and
bulb crops, such as carrots, chicories,
beets, turnips, swedes, mangels, winter
radishes, onions, etc., and the early sow-
ings of lettuces, spinach, spring and
summer radishes, onion, leek and the va-
rious open-ground-sown annual flower
seeds very difficult and later than usual.
The first part of May, when most of
the annual and perennial flowers raised
under glass are planted out in the open
ground, was unusually dry and windy,
and caused many blanks in the planta-
tions, and made the starting of the
young plants very difl&cult. The plant-
ing during the latter part of that month
in many instances could not be done in
the usual proper way owing to the heavy
rains that made the soil muddy and un-
fit to work on for days. The weather
during the whole of June, alternative
rain and sunshine, was favorable to the
growing seed crops, and brought them
a good deal forward, though they are
at present about a week or two behind
the usual time.

The harvested crops: Corn-salad, good;
turnips and forget-me-not (Myosotis al-
pestris varieties), middling and pretty
good.

The present state of growing crops is:
Beans, dwarf or kidney and runner,
partly good, partly middling, and the
delicate varieties below middling; beet-
roots, carrots, cress, chervil, chicory, leek,
lettuces, onions, parsley, parsnips and
radishes, good; peas, round-seeded varie-
ties, good; wrinkled marrow varieties,
middling; cabbage, white, red and sa-

voy,. kohlrabi and spinach, middling and
pretty good; cucumber, ridge varieties,
have seriously suffered from the un-
favorable weather and stand rather thin ;
ipangels, sugar beets and swedes, partly
good and partly middling.

Pansies, although they look very well,
the yield of the crop appears to turn
out below middling owing to frequent
heavy rains that caused part of the
flowers to pass away without setting
seed. Stocks, wallflowers, asters, lark-
spurs, balsams, carnations, mignonette,
nasturtiums, sweet peas, snapdragon,
scabious, Canterbury bells, sweet william,
sweet sultan, Chinese pink (Dianthus
Chinensis and varieties), lobelias, lu-
pins, helichrysum, marigold, petunias,
polyanthus, violets, zinnias and the mis-
cellaneous flowers are partly good and
partly middling, while hollyhocks and
Drummondii phlox stand rather thin.

Of principal pot-grown flower seeds,
stocks, annual, autumn and winter, dou-
ble wallflowers, large-flowered petunias,
begonias, calceolarias, cinerarias, cycla-
men, gloxinias. Primula Chinensis and
obconica, pelargoniums, etc., are partly
good and partly middling.

On the whole, the present state of the
growing seed crops may be considered
as satisfactory. H. T. J.

CROPS IN ESSEX, ENGLAND.

At one time the outlook was unsatis-
factory, owing to the cold spring, but
during the first few weeks crops have
improved greatly. With a few excep-
tions there is promise of a fair aver-
age harvest.

Early peas, medium; second early,
promise well; late varieties have blight,
which came over the district at the be-
ginning of July, and some varieties will
be short, and as stock seed of some of
the choice sorts was scarce last year
and small acreage planted, prices will
rule high for peas ot Gladstone type.
Broad beans, not so large an acreage,
nor looking so well as last year. Scar-
let runners are grown very extensively

looking. well; the showers have been very
beneficial in helping to set the bloom.

the last three weeks. Broccoli, brusscls
sprouts, cabbages, and savoys are a small
acreage owing to dry summer of 1905,
unable to put any plants out till Sep-
tember, when very small proportion run
to seed; crop will be very light. Car-
rot and parsnip looking fair. The cold
spring kept radishes back, but they have
now got together and are looking fair.
Of turnip and swede a very small acre-
age was planted and there will be a
light crop; large acreage had to be
ploughed up early in spring; prices will
be high. Mangel is extensively grown
in Essex, the land being specially adapt-
ed; acreage not so large as last year;
the plants for some time looked very
bad, but last three weeks improved very
much; medium crop.

Nasturtiums are extensively grown in
this district, one firm turning over about
500 bushels yearly; at present they are
looking well; the light-leafed varieties
promise a good average crop, but it de-
pends on the weather we have for gath-
ering; they have all to be picked up
from the ground by women; dark-leafed
varieties, such as Empress of India, etc.,
fair. Sweet peas are doing well, July
not being so hot as the last three years;
they have remained on growth longer
and promise a good crop. Candytuft,
poppy, godetias, larkspur and other an-
nuals are looking well. H. T. J.

The following is from an article on
' ' New Sweet Peas, ' ' by David R. Wil-
liamson, published in the Gardeners'
Chronicle, London:

* ' Mr. Lester L. Morse, the great Ameri-
can hybridist, who has given to the world
many interesting varieties, recently sent
to me from San Francisco, just before
the conflagration, a most attractive
classification of modern sweet peas, in
which my own Eckfordian namesake,
among many others, has the honor of
being described. The characterizations
are for the most part distinctive and ex-
pressive. Mr. Morse has also forwarded
to me his famous varieties raised by
himself, viz., Helen Pierce and Shasta,
of which the fofiner resembles in its
unique color a blue-mottled gloxinia, the
background being white; while the lat-
ter may be described as an improved
Emily Henderson. The great American
rival of Mr. Morse is Mr. W. Atlee
Burpee, of Philadelphia. One of his
latest and finest productions is entitled
Burpee's Earliest White, which, judging
from its reception at the hands of com-
petent cultivators, is likely to prove a
considerable acquisition. Navy Blue, I
presume, was raised by Mr. Burpee. If
so, he must rejoice in its continued popu-
larity, though like many susceptible va-
rieties, it has its limitations."

EMPLOYEES' CLUBS.

It may interest the larger seed firms
in the States to know that at Sutton &
Sons, Beading, England, there have been
for some time a number of clubs among
the employees, such as shooting, foot-
ball, cricket, tennis, etc., also a rifle
club, with a rifle range. These clubs
have always been popular among those
employed by the firm and have been more
or less successfully managed, each by a
separate committee. It is now thought
advisable to manage the whole under one
committee, so that the joint club can
undertake any kind of sport or games

viding as a recreation ground a portion
of some grounds and gardens splendidly
laid out by the late Martin Hope Sut-
ton. Competitions for challenge cups
and prizes have been arranged for the
summer months. This action of the
Keading seed firm is a very commendable
one and worthy of every success, probably
no other firm having the interests and
pleasures of its employees so much at
heart. The nearest approach is the seeds-
men's assistants' clubs and societies of
Edinburgh. Eilinburgh is a notable city
for its number of high class seed firms,
probably no town in the United King-
don iiaving po many large seed houses
within its boiindaries as there are at
Edinburgh. B. J.

MAIL TRADE.

The seed trade has watched with in-
terest the progress inade by the two
great Chicago mail order houses that
have started seed departments. There
can be no doubt that they will cut a
very large figure in the trade. They
have the capital and the organization
to accomplish any purpose, even if at
some cost to themselves, and neither is
likely to drop a line once established,
so that eventual success is considered
certain.

Last season Sears, Roebuck & Co.
gave the seed department twenty-one
pages in the general ca'^alogue, while
Montgomery Ward & Co. issued a
special seed catalogue. As it is under-
stood that the former concern charges
each department with $800 for each page
it occupies in the general catalogue, it
seems probable that the older firm got
oflf cheaper, counting the cost of the
wash drawings and halftone illustrations
which made the pamphlet notable, cost
of printing, distributing, etc.

There is a notable difference in the
jiolicy pursued by the two houses. Sears,
Roebuck & Co. favor collections, and
many costly pages last year were given
up to offers of a wide range of collec-
tions. This is said to be Mr. Sears'
pet idea. The Montgomery Ward book,
wliile it containetl a few collections, was
more in the line of a general seed list.
Probably a majority of catalogue seeds-
men will not endorse Mr. Sears ' idea,
but will watch with interest to see if
his superior merchandising ability will
make it win out.

One of the difficulties the two houses
are encountering is in getting capable
help. The Sears, Roebuck concern last
spring offered a very attractive salary,
through an employment agency, for a
high grade man witli successful expe-
rience and gave up the search, putting
one of their own people in diarge of the
department. Mr. Fisher, with Ward &
Co., has apparently "made good." Both
firms liave places to keep good people
employed all the year around and will
no doubt eventually build up efficient
orgnnizations in the seed department?.

BUFFALO.

Curretit G>mfflent.

A long dry spell was broken on Fri-
day night, and glad everybody was, but
it did not cool the atmosphere, as ex-
pected. Sunday was blistering. The
weather man says only 84 degrees in the
shade. He is no fair recorder on top
of a 16-story building. Half-way to
Mars is not the temp'erature we are
called upon to endure. Perhaps there
may be a few who do not know the fair
circumstances to find the temperature
of the surface of the earth. It is to
hang the thermometer a few inches away
from the trunk of a tree, five feet above
the ground and over grass, of course in
the shade. It has been too warm to
do almost anything but eat ice cream
and mop yourself.

Business? Don't talk about business I
W. J. Palmer has escaped for four
weeks. Good, sensible boy, he did not
leave his address, but I think it's
Algonquin Park, Ont., a natural wild
park, just east of Georgian bay, where
we have hunted and fished repeatedly in
our minds; a wild paradise for the
angler and hunter, but wisely preserved
by the Dominion government. The
trout and muscallonge stick their heads
out of the water and make faces at
you, and the deer, moose and caribou
insist on coming in to be milked with
the settlers' cows. What a country for
John Westcott, with his rod, and John
Burton, with his rifle.

Speaking of sports, I notice in the
S. A. F. preliminary program published
in last week's Beview, there is no men-
tion of any shooting. This I protest
against. It is well known that Mr.
Altick is one of the best shots in the
society and could get up a shooting
tournament that would please many of
the most consers-ative and best men in
the society. Marksmanship with the shot-
gun is a test of nerve, coolness and
good behavior. It is bound to be held
among the green fields and pleasant sur-
roundings of the open air and not in the
superheated air of the bowling alley.
Bowling is a game where brawn counts
for more than brains, and is not nearly
BO entertaining for spectators as shoot-
ing. Besides, I have my poor old
hammer-gun cleaned up for the special
occasion, the same gun which crossed
the frozen Delaware behind Uucle
George in 1781. Pat O'Mara was ser-
geant of our company.

FORT RECOVERY, OHIO.

Trade has been fair this season in
outdoor bedding stock, especially in
dahlias, gladioli and pansies.

A new $15,000 greenhouse is planned
by a firm at Celina, 0., to be built this
fall. The new establishment will make
competition keener than ever in that
vicinity. St. Mary's, 0., Portland, Ind.,
and Decatur, Ind., all have greenhouses,
and none of them is over thirty nliles
distant from the others, or from Celina.

G. P.

Montgomery, Ala. — S. B. Stern &
Co. are building three even-span houses
16x100 for carnations.

Jacksonville, III. — F, J. Heinl was
renominated August 4 as member of the
state legislature from the forty-fifth dis-
trict. He is a republican.

The Weekly Florists' Review.

AuoDST 9, 1906.

PACIFIC COAST.

PORTLAND, ORE.

The Market

The state of trade may be summed
up in a few words, an occasional busy
time with funeral work. The hot
weather has driven society folks to the
mountains and seaside, while others of
less means are camping out in the
suburbs, so there is not much doing
socially. There is a fair supply of good
flowers, with sweet peas and auratum
lilies in the supremacy.

A, Call on Local People.

Portland is now experiencing a
phenomenal growth, which began with
the interest manifested in the Lewis
and Clark fair, perceptibly increasing
since the San Francisco disaster. Quite
a few florists were among the thousands
who have come here in the last month.
The writer, who is enjoying a month's
vacation, and is on a wager to walk
twenty miles a day, is pleased with the
opportunity of locating some of them.
8o we journeyed out to Mount Tabor,
which is essentially the growers' dis-
trict, and there first met three enter-
prising young Germans, who comprise
the Montavilla Floral Co. Purchasing
ten acres of land on an eastern slope,
which commands a splendid view of a
fertile valley and towering mountain
and has a good speculative value, these
young men have started right. They
are building five new houses and will do
a general business, with landscape work
as a side feature.

Almost opposite is T. V. Sluman, the
nurseryman, who owns twelve acres of
Portland realty and is now enjoying
a competency after twelve years of hard
work here. Over to the left Fred
Broetje is gradually enlarging his bank
account by growing fancy fruits and
flowers on his 3-acre tract, for the lead-
ing clubs and restaurants.

Walking toward the city we made the
acquaintance of Thomas EUingham, who
is just branching out as a grower, with
5,000 feet of glass. He was most cordial
and enthusiastic, and hoped Portland
would soon have a florists' club. Two
blocks further and we received the glad
hand of F. A. Van Kirk, who built his
first greenhouse a year ago, and now
owns 6,000 feet. A house of tomatoes
is proving a good asset during the dull
weeks.

Right in the same block, which is a
big one, stands the splendidly built
range of houses of Martin & Forbes,
a credit to the owners and the city.
Everything required for a first-class
store is grown here, roses being a strong
feature with them. We can truthfully
state that finer blooms were not seen
anywhere in the country than those
grown in this establishment in the last
three years. George Spencer is in
charge of this branch.

A little further on we bumped up
against the L. G. Pfunder place. The
veteran was not there, but we learned
from Albert Herbert, his foreman for
the last two years, that Mr. Pfunder
responds to the roll call as regularly as
a deacon to his church duties. Although
the proprietor has prospered to such an
extent that he might retire from active
business, yet it is pleasing to note that

his ambition and pride in the profession
have not diminished.

Diagonally across, a lofty sign reads,
' ' The Tonseth Co. ' ' This firm has made
great progress in the last two years.
Their latest houses are models in con-
struction, and the output there may be
classed among the best. After this call
we turned toward home, hungry and
a little bit tired.

THE OUTLOOK FOR FALL.

As we are now well up to the season
for replanting carnation houses, I have
made a tour among some of our princi-
pal growers in the neighborhood of San
Francisco to see what is being done, es-
pecially in the line of getting ready for
the coming season's output of flowers.
I find quite a diversity of opinion among
the various growers as to how far they
are justified in continuing the expense
of changing and purchasing new stock.
The general opinion seems to be that
there will be too many flowers produced
this winter for the decreased demand.
Some growers are optimistic, and de-
clare there will not be too much good
stock in any event, calling attention to
the fact that there have been practi-
cally no new commercial places started
this season, and many thousands of feet
of glass have been discarded, as far as
forcing roses or carnations is concerned.

It is a fact that we have at the pres-
ent time a dozen first-class floral estab-
lishments, as against seventy-five four
months ago. San Francisco used at least
eighty per cent of the stock grown within
a radius of twenty miles, and, as there
are no prospects for any rush in the way
of starting new retail establishments, it
is hard to see where there will be an out-

, quantity of stock, and the orders have
been generally well divided among the
growers. This, however, presents but a
poor substitute to the grower who, un-
der the usual conditions, could always
dispose of his entire crop at good fig-
ures.

The housing of young stock, I find,
has been progressing slowly, with a large
majority of the young plants yet in the
fields. Several of our largest wholesale
growers, who usually devote quite a
space on their benches to new varieties
of carnations, have not invested in any
of the well advertised sorts, but have
devoted their houses to the better known
and older kinds.

With roses there will be even less
planting of new stock. The rule has
been in a majority of cases to dry out

Plant Now LILIUM HARRISII for Early Forcing

We ofTer some extra choice Liliam Harrisii wbicb has been grrown for us from the orlgrinal, pure stock. Tbis is tbe kind
o{ stock tbat you want for the very earliest forcinK, as it is tbt true. oriKinal Harrisii. The small sizes— 5-78 and &-78—
are particularly desirable for this purpose, as they will flower more quickly than the larger bulbs. If yon want to get
ft little of the original, pure Harrisii, try a case or two of tbis. As our stock of this is limited, we can offer only a few
cates to a single buyer. If yon have been dissatisfied with tbe Harrisii that you have forced heretofore, try ti case or
two of this and see if it is not more than worth tbe difference in price over tbe dtock that you have been buying. In
ordering ask for the puie selected strain of original Harrisii, which we offer as follows:

9 to 7-inoh bulbs, 400 to tbe caso, $17.00 per case.
0 to 7-liiob bulbs, SSO to tbe case, 17.50 per case.
7 to 9-incb bulbs, 200 to tbe case, 30.00 per case.

EASTER COMES EARLY THIS YEAR-MARCH 31

and a great many growers will want to use Harrisii instead of Longiflorum so as to be sure and have the plants in
flower in time, as the season is going to be short for Japan Lon(?iflorum. The crop of Harrisii this year is the shortest
it has been in years, and in view of the extra demand, we advise those who have not already covered their require-
ments to lose no time doing so.

For very earliest forcing— Christmas and later— we recommend the pure Harrisii offered above, but for later
forcing for Easter, our customers will find the regular stock offered below iirst-class stock— much better than the aver-
age stock u.sually offered. We can quote the regular stock as follows:

e to 7-lnob bulbs, SS5 to tbe case, $18.80 per case.

FRXKSIA RSFRACTA ALBA, tbe true white variety. Now ready. Finest Bermuda-grown stock. $1.00 per 100; $7.50 per 1000.

BKRMUDA BUTTKRCUP OXAXJES, $1.00 per 100; $7.60 per lOOO.

the plants for the last two months, and
at the present time many growers are
getting ready to apply moisture and
carry over the old bushes for another
season.

I find that few bulbs will be forced in
proportion to the quantity that it has
been the custom to plant. Valley and
Eomans will not come up to more than
fifty per cent of the usual output; with
other articles in the bulb line I find no
enthusiasm shown.

To sum up, from present indications
I think it is safe to predict that there
will not be over fifty per cent of the usual
quantity of roses, carnations, bulbs and
lilies produced in the neighborhood of
San Francisco for the season of 1906 and
1907. G.

SAN FRANOSOO.

The Market

Business is now at the lowest ebb we
have seen it since the fire. There is lit-
tle or nothing doing in any department
of the florist 's trade, with the exception
of funeral orders. The weather con-
tinues cool, and flowers are not quite
so plentiful as they have been. We are
noticing a gradual decrease in the
quantity, both of roses and carnations,
brought in by the growers.

Asters are now at their height. They
are not being offered in more than half
the usual quantity. The price remains
low and the quality is not quite equal to
that of former seasons. The best long-
stemmed stock does not net the grow-
ers over $1..50 per hundred, and shorter-
stemmetl flowers can be had at about
half that price.

Lilium album and L. rubrum are seen
everywhere, and they can be had as low
as 75 cents per dozen. Amaryllises at
$1.50 per hundred spikes help to make
the florists' windows showy. There is
hardly any demand for them, however.

Tuberoses are plentiful. Valley ap-
pears to be scarcer again, and the price
ranges from $3 to $4 per hundred. Out-
side stock, such as peas, gaillardias,
dahlias and gladioli, is hardly worth
picking, as there is absolutely no demand
for it.

The shipping to interior points has
been more active than usual this sum-

mer, probably caused by the presence of
so many San Franciscans in outside
towns. The schools will reopen in a few
days, and we may expect quite an influx
of people to town again.

Various Notes.

Trumbull & Beebe have opened a store
at 525 Sansome street, one block from
their former location.

D, (Jreuttner, of V^llejo, is in town.
Mr. Greuttner reports a good trade in
the retail florist 's line in his town.

John Vallance has returned after a
month's vacation in the northern part of
tlie state.

The ground and greenhouses of Sato
& Co., of Elmhurst, will be sold at auc-
tion about the middle of August. The
Japanese-American Bank, of San Fran-
cisco, holds a mortgage of about $20,000
against the property.

Podesta & Baldochi report a heavy
shipping business for the month of July.
This firm is now located on Sutter and
Polk streets.

Owing to the decreased demand for
cut flowers, one of the large Japanese
firms has reduced the amount of help
from forty-five to twenty-five greenhouse
men.

Thomas O'Neill, of the Myrobolan
Nursery, Haywards, is on a trip to the
northern part of the state.

W. W. Saunders, of Fresno, Cal., is
living at present in Berkeley, Cal.

Nat Rolleri is permanently located at
Sixth and Washington streets, Oakland.

On account of the changes made by
the recent fire, it is probable that the
fall chrysanthemum show at San Bafael
will not be held until one year later
than the time announced.

William Coupland, of Rincon Hill, has
at the present time probably the finest
assortment of begonias to be seen in
any private place in San Francisco.

John Martin, or Ross Station, is con-
structing two houses, 20x50 feet, for car-
nations and orchids respectively, and his
neighbor. Lieutenant Winship, will im-
mediately commence the building of a
range of six large greenhouses for roses,
carnations, palms and ferns.

James Niven has received a lot of
over 900 phala;nopsis from the Philip-
pine Islands.

A fierce fire broke out on the morn-
ing of July 31 at Oakley, Cal., in the
boarding and lodging house of the Bras-
Ian Seed Growers' Co., a couple of miles
from town. Aoout 200 Chinese and
Japanese were asleep there at the time.
The flames spread with great rapidity,
endangering the immense seed farm,
with its hundreds of acres ready for
threshing. Adjoining buildings and
barns were consumed. The home of the
superintendent (was saved. By heroic
action the fire was prevented from reach-
ing the fields. G.

Asters and sweet peas are plentiful,
but are not first-class on account of the
long spell of damp weather. E. Y.
Pierce has been sending in the best
asters on the market, and they are extra
fine.

George Borden, foreman for R. H.
Woodhouse, leaves today for a three
weeks' vacation in New Hampshire.

Julius Rusitzky, with W. P. Pence,
has gone to Nashua, N. H., for the rest
of the summer.

E. Y. Pierce is building two new
houses, one for violets and the other
for roses.

William Livsey has put on an addi-
tion to his houses, with a lean-to for
violets. F. C. C.

GOOD GROWING SEASON.

The nurseries of western New York
have this season been visited with an
unusual amount of rainfall and a uni-
i'urm high temperature, which has re-
snltt'(| in a luxuriant growth of vegeta-
tion rarely seen outside of the tropics.
It is sai<l that the last season that would
compare with the present one occurred
in 1869. Throughout the season the
rains have bec^n frequent and, contrary
to weather procedure, luive not been ac-
companied by an appreciable drop in the
temperature.

Besides producing luxuriant vegeta-
tion, the excessive moisrture was not con-
«lucive to insect life and, while a num-
ber of pests have been reported, there
have been no extended ravages in any
jiart of the state. On the other hand,
the moist weather has produced condi-
tions favorable to fungus diseases. A
general complaint conies in from the
grape-growing sections that black rot of
grapes is unusually seA*ere.

CIVIC IMPROVEMENT.

The Nurseryman's Relation to It,

(S.viii)|)sls of u impel- liy K. T. Uuuise.v. of
AUMtiii. Tex., read l)efore the State Xursery-
nieii's .K^siH'latloii.J

There was a time, and not long ago,
when, if a business man would talk
about beautifying a city, he was put
<lown as not being sound on business
matters. This condition is changing.
No nation has ever given a welcome so
warm to any suggested movement. Jf a
mah's a<Imiration for the beautiful has
not lieen cultivated so that he j)uts hi.s
heart in the work just because he loves
it he will do so because he feels that
*'it pays."

NO two nurserymen are so qualified
as to sustain the same relation to this
movement, but this is what we should be.
As there are but a few professional land-
scape men in Texas we should all be
landscape gardeners. We should know
all the suggestions to be found in about
.$.10 worth of books, but the book learn-
ing is hut a small part of all that we
.»<h«)uld know.

We should visit the cities that are
beautiful in residences and parks. Study
the man wiio planned Chicago after the
fire; then follow him to Kan.sas City
and see hew he took a lot of hills that

were for a long time considered only a
good goat range and see how he made
them one of the most beautiful resi-
dence additions in the world. Money
alone, if handled by the street commit-
tee of the average city council, would
never have done this. It takes mind — a
refined mind. This same man is now in
San Francisco. On one boulevard through
this residence addition to Kansas City,
I understand, are 210 residences that
cost over $,50,000 each. A drive on this
street is one of the factors that develop
great American ideas.

A nurseryman should be able to name
the plants, shrubs and trees that are
adapted to a particular section. He
should know that some kinds do not
like to grow alone, but flourish if
planted among other kinds. He must
know that in planting nature's trees for
beauty, and to entice one to admire or
come and rest, he must imitate nature
so deftly that it will not be thought of
as an imitation. Nature has no straight
rows.

The man is an artist who can plant
trees in such a way that in after years
the passer-by will think that the house
was built in a grove. The man who
plans the grounds around a home to some
extent must be an architect that he may
the better make all things blend har-
moniously, and he must be a civil en-
gineer that he may tell the cost of
bringing a grade to a certain line.

People love to be taught. Almost
every one is a home builder. Let nur-
serymen qualify themselves to teach en-
tertainingly in the local press. Teach
the people that they need teaching on
this subject. Texas neetls just as many
landscape workers as there are towns in
the state. Encourage them to come.
Strive to educate your citizens up to the
point where they will realize that they
need one and they will be willing to pay
for his services. I.,et them get qualified
to enjoy his work. When a man in the
city builds a house he pays an architect
from $50 to $1,000 to be sure that the
building will loolc "correct" when done,
and be built right, and will be so ar-
ranged that his family will enjoy it and
take ])leasure in showing it to friertds.
While all of these pleasure-giving quali-
ties may be given to the grounds that
surround a home, the idea has entered
the minds of only a few persons in the
country at large. Teach that every
house should -represent a picture; the
ground, properly planted, represents the
background and the frame.

If a man would pay $10,000 for a
painting in Europe, bring it home and
hang it in a frame that cost a dollar
and a half, he would remind me of a
whole lot of hoinc-builders I know, but

they do not know any better.

Now, then, when in the beginning I
said a nurseryman should be qualified
to do all this work and all this teaching
it was on condition that no landscape
specialist is available, or what is worse,
when the customer is ignorant of the
fact that he needs one. Let your golden
text be, "Prepare ye the way for the
landscape man," but keep talking all
the time about the beauty and pleasure
and profit of planting. Tell them that
he that cometh after you is greater than
you, and then go to growing the trees
that are wanted in greater quantities.
Make civic improvement popular.

When a sick man away out on the
plains asks the druggist to give him the
medicine he should take and the druggist
knows no doctor can be had that day,
I presume he would give him the medi-
cine, but after the doctor comes he fills
only the prescription. These ethics
should prevail between nurserymen and
landscape architects.

DIANTHUS FREYNII.

To an old admirer of the charming
little Dianthus Freynii it was rather'
pleasant to come across it in several ex-
hibits at the Temple show, although I
have a greater admiration for the typical
rose-colored plant than for the white or
whitish forms shown at the Temple. I
look upon this as one of the neatest and
prettiest of our alpine pinks, and, al-
though recognized by botanists as but
a form of D. glacialis, it is considerably
easier to grow in this climate than that
species. It has been said by sonfie to be
probably the smallest dianthus we hftve,
but its flowers are no smaller than some
others, dwarf and compact as is the
plant itself. When in good condition
and well established it makes a densie
carpet of small, sharp-pointed, green, not
glaucous foliage, and from this rises a
number of small, bright rose or deep
pink-colored flowers. It is a choice plant
in every way, and forms one of the most
pleasing things we have in the rock gar-
den. A very able grower of alpines
recommends growing it on a dry, sandy
bank, but I have found that in such a
position it required a good deal of sum-
mer watering, even when partially shaded
from the afternoon sun, so that I think
it should do best with more summer mois-
ture than it generally receives, although
it must have perfect drainage. I found
it easy to grow in my former garden,
and I had a nice little clump of it there
with little attention beyond planting it
in a pocket facing southeast, in sand, ,
peat, and grit, and giving it frequent
waterings in summer and occasional top-
dressings of soil.— (iardeners ' Chronicle.

PITTSBURG.

The Market.

Extroinely hot weather, averaging
about 90 degrees in the shade, is not
calculated to make business very good,
on the contrary it is driving all who
have the price out of the city; notwith-
standing the heat, business is as good
as any other year at this season.

Flowers are plentiful, if they are not
fine. Lilies, Beauties, Richmond, Kaiser-
ins, gladioli and asters are good, with
some good carnations. There are lots
of small roses of all kinds, for which
there is no demand. Asters are a glut,
and while the good stock is bringing
a fair price, the poor blooms will bring
nothing.

Various Notes.

Uncle John Wyland has gone to
Canada to see if he cannot round up
a few of the large fish stories we are
hearing.

Robert Herron has joined E. C. Lud-
wig's force, and will be found in the
Allegheny Market.

W. A. Clarke has arrived from the
farm and taken up his usual duties with
the Pittsburg Cut Flower Co.

Faces have changed in nearly all the
wholesale and retail houses; the pale-
faced ones have gone and a lot of well-
tanned lads who have had their vacations
have taken their places. IIoo-Hoo.

TVIN QTIES.

The Market

The same conditions existed the last
week that we had during July, with the
possible exception that there appeared
to be a heavier demand for funeral
work. There is practically no call for
cut flowers for any other use. Stock re-
mains scarce, and what is being brought
in by the growers is not good. This
applies especially to roses. Carnations
are easing up some, and some very nice
asters have arrived. Outdoor flowers
are put to good use. Gladioli are good,
but sell only fairly. Sweet peas are
not plentiful, and the quality is far
below that of last season.

SPRINGFIELD. OHIO.

A Bad Hail Storm.

Probably the most violent hail storm
on record visited this locality July 27,
its duration having been about forty-
five minutes and the sizes ranging from
hickory nuts to hulled walnuts, accord-
ing to various eye-witnesses. West of
town tne ravines were said to have been
piled full of hailstones. Nearly every
florist here suffered a slight loss of glass
in hotbed sashes, but all houses with-
stood the bombardment, with the excep-
tion of several of the oldest houses of
the George H. Mellen Co., in which sin-
gle strength glass was broken to the
extent, of approximately $100.

"We learn of only one concern here
carrying hail insurance, but this recent
experience will doubtless cause a more
general demand for this sort of protec-
tion. At Urbana the Keeser Floral Co.
sustained a loss variously reported at
from 300 to 700 lights of glass.

Florists' Qub Picnic.

On Thursday, August 2, the first picnic
of the Springfield Florists ' Club was held
at Eicholz park, a romantic spot on the
Springfield, Troy & Piqua Electric Rail-
way. Athletic sports began with quoits.
Ward Welch and Charlie Schmidt prov-
ing a pair invincible against all oppos-
ing pitchers. Refreshments were abun-
dant for a big noontime lunch, and were
partaken of at the pleasure of each
member or guest throughout the day.
Baseball was the leading attraction, a
double-header between the south-enders
and the ' ' tother-enders ' ' resulting in fa-
vor of the latter, to the tune of ten
to nine and twenty-one to four.
Jack Good, pitcher for the van-
quished, claimed it would have been
otherwise had he been supported by a
catcher other than Ward Welch, who
succumbed to "that tired feeling" and
stretched at full length under a shade
tree about the middle of the second
game.

Gus Schneider and Charlie Schmidt
worked together well as a battery for
the victors, and Umpire Jimmy Maxwell
announced amusing decisions in his rare
old Scottish brogue. The closing event
was a boat race, which culminated,
through a deeply plotted conspiracy, in
the capsizing of one boat and a thor-
ough ducking for two muscular rowers.

HELENA, MONT.

One of Helena's substantial business
enterprises that is known throughout the
entire northwest is the State Nursery
Co., whose nursery and greenhouses are
situated three miles west of Helena, near
the Broadwater hotel. They have an of-
fice and salesroom at 105 East Sixth ave-
nue and a branch store at 47 "West
Broadway, in Butte. The business was
started in a small way when they erected
a small greenhouse containing 600 square
feet of glass. The business has grown
until they now have 105,000 square feet
of glass. They divide their business
into a number of departments, the first
of which is that devoted to plants. They
carry iu stock and raise all of the plants
that will grow and bloom in the short
summer season of the northwest.

In their second department they have
devoted a portion of their greenhouses
to a palm room and have a magnificent
assortment and a large number of vari-
eties. Next come the outdoor roses that
will thrive in Montana. Following this
are the hardy shrubs, vines and roots
that will survive our severe winters.
Fruit trees and berry bushes are in an-
other department, in which they have as
well shade and ornamental trees.

The most important department, how-
ever, is that for cut flowers. For this
purpose they have forty-three green-
houses, comprising 105,000 square feet,
most of which is devoted to raising cut
flowers. They have a special department
devoted to field, garden and flower seeds,
of which they carry a complete line. The
company issues a general catalogue in
the spring, covering all departments in
detail, also a full catalogue for bulbs and
winter flowering plants, etc.

The Eeview will send Herrington 's
Chrysanthemum Book on receipt of 50
cents.

ToPEKA, Kan. — Hiram Hulse narrowly
escaped cashing a bogus check recently
presented to him for a bunch of roses by
a stranger who had been operating here
for several days. The man represented
himself as a brother of Mayor Davis,
and ordered the flowers sent to the lat-
ter's house. Mr. Hulse fortunately did
not have enough change on hand, or he
would have been bitten, he says.

The Weekly Florists^ Review^

August 9, 1906.

AUSTIN, TEX.

The annual election of the stockholders
of the Hyde Park Floral Co. was held
August 1. The old board of directors i
was continued, and officers for the en-
suing year will be: F. T. Ramsey, presi-
dent; Edgar B. Hall, treasurer; and H.
S. West, secretary.

Stock is light and field-grown plants
are suffering from the prolonged
drought. Bain has been plentiful around
the outside, but in the city we have
had but one shower in two months.

Mr. Alff is building three new houses
at his place in the east end, and is
making considerable improvement in his
heating arrangements.

A. J. Seiders has resigned as manager
of the Hyde Park Floral Co., and haa
accepted the position of superintendent
for the Austin Golf Club. He contem-
plates doing considerable landscape
work, which in addition to the new club-
house, will make the links one of the
prettiest spots in the capital city.

Superintendent Beck is busy with a
large force beautifying and renovating
the campus at the university. The ad-
dition of several fountains has been a
needed help to the appearance of this
beautiful park.

The Hyde Park Floral Co. is now in
the midst of the tuberose shipping sea-
son. They ship as far as Memphis and
New Orleans, stock traveling this dis-
tance in first-class condition. It is a
great help to florists at a time when
the cry is for anything white.

Mrs. Hillyer is at the military head-
quarters, and is doing a rushing business
in addition to looking after her regular
trade. Cactus.

New^ark, N. J.— Mrs. K. Schmitt-
berger, who formerly owned a store at
310 Springfield avenue, and who has
been in a different location, will return
to the old stand.

Buffalo, N. Y. — Incorporation papers
have been taken out by the Central Park
Floral Co., with a capital stock of
$2,000. Julius A. Goehle, Henry Hart
and Clara C. Hamocher are named as
stockholders.

Elyma, O.— The Ohio Nursery & Sup-
ply Co. is a new concern just in-
corporated, with capital stock of
$25,000. Henry Hurst, W. P. Bates, W.
B. Johnston, J. A. Beublin and C. D.
Bates hold the stock.

Oreenboose Heating.

BOILER CAPAQTY.

I have six houses running from north-
east to southvvest. They are 18x120 feet,
and have 10-foot ridges. A shed six feet
wide extends across three of them, and
the boiler is at one end of it. The boiler
is twelve horse-power. Will that size
heat the houses to 50 to 60 degrees, with
an occasional outside temperature of 25
degrees below zerof R. A. M.

I assume that you purpose to use
steam heat in this plant. I also under-
stand that you have six houses each
18x120. These houses on a steam basis
require about 3,400 square feet of radia-
tion to maintain the temperature speci-
fied. To supply this radiation the boiler
should have at least 425 square feet of
surface exposed to the heated gases.
This amount of heating surface will be
provided by a thirty horse-power hori-
zontal tubular boiler. A twelve horse-
power boiler is hardly half large enough.

L. C. C.

HEATING SASH HOUSE.

I am building a sash house 20%xl05
feet, using 3x6 sashes, so that I can re-
move them in summer. It is for lettuce,
and will want 50 to \55 degrees in cold
weather. How many 2-inch pipes do I
need, using hot water? Both gable ends
are glass, and there are twenty-eight
inches of glass in the south wall. The
walls are four feet, the ridge nine feet
nine inches, and I have solid beds. Can
I put all the pipes on the walls, or must
I put some in the center? P. N.

The house in question, 20%xl05 feet,
constructed of sashes, can be satisfac-
torily heated by using twelve 2-inch
pipes running the length of the house.
These can be arranged in two coils and
placed on the side walls. One pipe in
each coil should serve as a flow and at
the far end of the house empty into a
manifold carrying five returns. Another
arrangement is to have a 3-inch flow
under the ridge, and a manifold carry-
ing five returns on each side wall. A
well elevated expansion tank will be
necessary in either case. L. C. C.

RICHMOND, IND.

The big new range of the E. G. Hill
Co. is rapidly approaching completion.
Growers will be interested in it because
of a number of new features. Among
the notable things is the extensive use
of cement. The outside walls are of
cement and so are the benches, while
the big stack for the heating plant is
of the same material, the first one so far
report (•< I to be made of cement.

Convention Notes.

Miss Bessie Evangeline Dornbusch has
composed for our convention a most
beautiful poem, which she read before
the club at its meeting July 30, and deaf-
ening and thunderous applause was her
reward. This young lady, a daughter
of one of our members, is a young woman
of no mean poetical ability, and is a
most excellent elocutionist. It was de-
cided that she should deliver this poem
just before the illustrated lecture on
landscape gardening takes place at Far
Hills, and following the banquet, all in
the open air on the big lawn.

Quite a few more surprises have been
added on the exhibition grounds, and
even the members of the club are in the
dark as to what the surprises will be.

The presidential reception will take
place at the residence of J. H. Patter-
son, Far Hills, at 7 p. m. August 21.
The illumination will be finer than we
have ever seen. Of course there will be
music and Mr. Patterson will serve a
dainty lunch on the big lawn. A great
many requests are pouring in for cards
of admission for members and for non-
members of the association for the presi-
dential reception. Now, all members
desiring to bring friends for this occa-
sion must send in the names at once.

When you arrive in Dayton, make free
use of the bureau of information at the
depot. It will be conducted by the
Merchants' Police, of Dayton, under the
control of the Dayton Florists' Club.
Do not forget to register at once with
the secretary at the exhibition hall. We
will have a five-minute service from the
Algonquin hotel to the fairground; there
will always be a car waiting, coming
and going.

From all indications this convention
will be a hummer. Come one and all.
Every one of the boys will receive you
with the most generous spirit and open
heart, and we shall see that the city is
turned over to you. Those who want to
bo assisted in getting lodgings in hotels
or private houses, please don't wait un-
til the last day, for the chairman on
hotels has other duties to perform be-
sides looking out for your comfort.
Please make up your mind in time, and
write all communications, if you want to
be assisted, to J. B. Heiss.

North Bridgton, Maine. — C. L.
Chadbourne is making an addition to
his range of houses. The new house will
be 20x50 and will be used for carna-
tions.

MURPHYSBORO, III. — Lewis E. Allen
has sold his greenhouses and business to
J. E. Null and has removed to Pomona.

HEATING WITH NATURAL GAS "

After three unsuccessful attempts, I.
Parker & Son, of Fort Scott, Kan., have
drilled a well vi'hich gives an abundant
flow of natural gas, which they will use
in heating their plant. The flow is. in
sufficient quantity to supply all the heat
that is required in the coldest winter.

To obtain this flow of gas Mr. Parker
drilled three wells, and the expense will
aggregate $1,000. That amount of
money would purchase considerable coal
and it will be some time before he will
be getting the gas for nothing. The first
well developed a good flow of gas, but
Mr. Parker was overzealous to find a
stronger flow and he continued the drill-
ing in the same well. The result was
that the hole filled up Avith salt water
and drowned the supply. Then he drilled
another well, but did not find sufficient
gas to supply his needs. The third has
just been brought in and it is fine. The
well is about 275 feet deep. The pres-
sure is good and the volume is sufficient
to furnish the fuel for many years to
come.

AUSTIN, TEX.

This section is doing more in flower
growing than ever in its history, and
plans are being made for extensions. The
Hyde Park Floral Co. has just completed
a new palm house 18x50 on the west end
of its greenhouses. This company han-
dles the crop of tuberoses from Kam-
say's Austin nurseries. There are sev-
eral acres of these lilies and the field is a
grand sight, the graceful stems waving
in the strong breeze. These lilies are
irrigated from surface wells by the use
of a gasoline pumping plant.

A. J. Seider, who. organized this com-
pany a year ago, has sold his interest and
is reported to be going in business on
an extensive scale for himself.

Charles Alff & Co. 's nurseries are
busy.

Mr. Hall is reducing his business, as
he is planning to retire.

Alfred Holm has recently built another
new palm house. Mrs. Hillyer's cut
flower trade is good. RiciNUS.

Iron Mountain, Mich. — G. F. Plow-
man is preparing to build a house 20x80.

Bloomington, III. — The Phoenix Nur-
sery Co. has contracted for a new house,
to contain 3,000 square feet of glass.
When the building is completed the old
establishment on Park street will be
torn down.

PEOPLE who know a g jod itiiiig when tbey see it, and will take advantage
of the same, must b^ 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 GARLA.ND 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

No greenhouse is a perfect house unless all the
materials which enter into its construction are properly
made by experienced workmen. All of our material
is made by men who know that perfect material is
needed to make a perfect houae and you can't grow
the best stock without a perfect house. Well made
material costs less than the inferior kind — less repair-
ing to be done.

Our workmanship will stand the most critical
test — bow about making a comparison with the l^ouses
you have ? Write for catalogue.

It's an Accepted Fact

That a sectional boiler does some work under some con-
ditions better than a corrugated - that's why we improved
this sectional boiler— but there are plenty of cases where the
old corrugated is the "easiest on coal"— the ^t greenhouse
boiler.

Bouvardias.

Pinch back the strong growths of the
bouvardia. The little, weak growths that
were made in the small pots before you
planted them out are useless and should
be cut away. The only growths of use
to you are the strong growths that
spring from the root. By September 1
or the following few days they should be
benched. We have learned from ex-
perience that it is of little importance
whether or not you lift a carnation with
Hoil attached to the roots, so long as
you get most of the roots when lifting.
This will not hold good with the bouvar-
dia. Lift with all the roots as little
disturbed as possible, or they will wilt
for many days. They will need spraying
and the house must be damped down
several times a day, even if the plants
are lifted under the most favorable cir-
cumstances.

For the first week under glass som,e)
shading will be a great help. There is
nothing better for this short period of
shading than clay diluted with water. If
there is no clay on your farm, you will
find it on the banks of the nearest creek,
where the muskrat loves to disport, and
there is no better way to apply it to the
glass than with your wife's dipper, the
old tin dipper that hangs by the well.
The first heavy shower will wash the
glass and sashbars clean. This very
primitive shading has been a boon to
many a carnation grower, who wanted a
shade for the first ten days after plant-
ing in July and August, and none after-
wards.

Cyclamen.

This is about the time to give your
earliest cyclamens their last shift. The
best plants in 4-inch pots should go into
6-inch, and the lees strong from 3-inch
into a 5-inch. I know good cyclamen
growers who, after the last shift, plunge
the plants in coldframes, in tobacco
stems, and shade by lath shading nailed
on light frames. If this is not con-
venient, then a bench in a house where
an abundance of ventilation will reach
them will do very well, but not wttb-^
permanent shade overhead. It shoula
be a small house, where shading can be
used during the hot, bright hours and
removed during morning, evening and on
dull days.

Begonia Lorraine.

There is no particular date when Be-
gonia Gloire de Lorraine should be shift-
ed. It depends on the condition of their
roots, as from now on to flowering time
they grow rapidly. They will bear and
enjoy plenty of root room, so shift from
4-inch to 6-inch pots or from 3-inch to
5-inch, While growing fast they must
of necessity receive an abundance of
water at the roots. The whole big genus
of begonias gets along well without the
leaves being wet, so it is well to water
without wetting the foliage, although a
humid atmosphere in the house is bene-
ficial, as it is to all the vegetable king-
dom, except an Arizona cactus.

Show Pelargoniums.

Those who grow these fine plants, the
show pelargoniums, should now prepare
to propagate them. Plants unsold in
June will have made a strong, flowerless
growth and should have been kept rather
dry for the last month. If you wish to
save the old plants you should cut last
year's growth hard back, leaving only
an inch or two of the current year's
growth. The old plants, if kept for two
weeks almost dust dry, will break out at
adventitious eyes that you don't see and
about three weeks from cutting down
should be shaken clean of any old soil,
their roots shortened back and repotted
in smaller pots than they flowered in.
Pot firmly and do not overwater for the
first month.

The mistake that inexperienced grow-
ers make is that they are afraid to cut
back these plants short enough. Don't
be afraid; cut them hard back. The
tops you cut off the old plants will be
of several degrees of hardness. The top
tender growth cut off with three or four
eyes will root readily in the cutting bed,
with a slight shade and moderate mois-
ture of sand, and so will the next few
eyes if you can save a leaf or two on
the cutting. Don't expect these cuttings
to root as quickly as a verbena or agera-
tum, but if kept moderately moist and
shaded only in hottest weather you will
lose few. In communities w,here this
good old plant has not been ovCTdone it
should be a grand market plant) as it
was thirty years ago in the east, but the
rise and improvement of the semi-double
geranium has made it "go away back
and sit down."

Weeds.

I am going to say a word on a very
plebeian subject, and that is weeds. I
once heard a well-known nurseryman of
Chicago say, at a convention of the Park
and Outdoor Art Association, at Detroit,

that on his nursery of 400 acres he di((
not believe you could find a dozen weeds.
This fine looking and manly gentleman
might have been carried away by the
exuberance of his own verbosity, but if
his statements approached the truth he
deserves a Carnegie hero medal. Many
florists are extremely untidy and care-
less of their outside crops. They will
have a quarter of an acre of carnations,
or a batch of vincas, stevias, bouvardias
or many other things, and while they
know that it is to their interest to keep
weeds out of the beds, they will leave
a forest of them on the sides and ends
of these plantations, the sight of which
pierces the heart of an old gardener.

As far as the margin of your little
farm reaches, see that no weed goes to
seed. You may say: "Oh! Over the
fence our neighbor will send us all the
weed seeds we want." Don't think so.
Show him a good example and after your
carnations and other crops are lifted
don't think the so-called weeds will have
a right to assert themselves. There will
be time and weather for them to flourish
and bear seed and give you endless work
next year. Keep down the weeds in the
waste places, as well as in the cultivated
spots. The Creator sent the weeds as
well as the rose, jasmine and dianthus,
but he sent them so that the industrious
should reap the benefit of their hard
work and the lazy and indifferent should
be smothered with ragweed, quackgrass
and dandelions. Don't send one lone
man out to hoe the weeds on an acre.
Get up good and early and say, "Hur-
rah, boyi?! We are going to kill all the
weeds on the farm today." So polish
your hoes and set the whole gang at it
and it will go merrily.

Pertinent Paragraphs.

Don 't forget to pinch your sweet ste-
via about now. It will be growing ram-
pantly and what you want is a broad,
stout plant. Every break made now
means a spike of flowers later.

Pansy seed I notice is well up, sown
in the broad sun about July 25. Keep
moist until out of the seed leaf. After
that it is safe, even if dry occasionally.

Don't forget to have your winter-
flowering sweet peas sown by September
1, and sooner is better. The fall sun-
shine is what makes them early,

William Scott.

SELECTING THE BUDS.

The question of selecting the proper
bud is a thorn in the flesh of many cul-
tivators, and causes more worry than
any other detail of chrysanthemum cul-
ture. Many inquiries reach me at this
season relative to this subject, and I
shall endeavor to make it as clear as
possible.

The terms first crowns, second crowns,
etc., have served to puzzle many people,
because while plants propagated in Feb-
ruary may produce four or five crown
buds, late struck plants may produce
only one. The average plant set out in

May has produced one or perhaps two
buds to date, and any bud that sets
after the middle of August will produce
a flower, I always figure on a date
rather than on whether the bud is a first
crown, etc.

An experience extending over some fif-
teen years has proved to me that on
general principles a bud set around Au-
gust 20 is an all-round reliable bud and
will always produce a satisfactory flower.
There are some exceptions, of course, A
few varieties can be taken earlier and
some should be taken later. These I
shall name. Varieties that can be taken

758

The Weekly Florists' Review.

August 16, 1906.

earlier are for very early flowers, and
include October Sunshine, Monrovia,
Montmort, Miss Alice Byron, Fitzwy-
gram, Lady Harriett and Lady Hope-
toun. Those who have taken only late
buds of Miss Alice Byron have no con-
ception of its wonderful depth and fin-
ish when caught on a bud early in Au-
gust; Monrovia will make a fine early
flower in many sections of the country
from a late July bud.

Varieties that do better on a bud
taken early in September are Col. Ap-
pleton, S. T. Wright, Dr. Enguehard,
Jeanne Nonin, Merstham Crimson and
the white and yellow Chadwicks. This
bud taken in September may still be a
crown bud, but, being later in the sea-
son, the cooler weather possibly assists
its more perfect development.

The difference between a crown and a
terminal bud is easily seen when one
once understands the terms. A crown
bud is always known by the fact that it
has growth shoots around it, while the
terminal bud only has smaller buds.
Many commercial growers keep removing
the buds until the terminal appears, and
as a consequence will tell you that many
of the finest kinds we have are useless
for their work. Nellie Pockett and its
BDOTt, Cheltoni, W. Duckham, Leila Fil-
lans, F. S. Vallis and many others are
superb when taken on a crown bud from
the middle of August on, but are thin
and poor taken on the terminal bud a
month later.

It is sometimes argued that the neck
is long on the crown buds and the color
of the flower is much poorer. This ap-
plies with little force any more with
the kinds we are now growing. The neck
is little if any longer except on plants
that have been drawn up thin and spin-
dling; these would be weak-necked, any-
way. As to color, few pinks at any
season can approach Lady Hopetoun,
flowering early in October from a crown
bud taken August 5.

In taking buds early in the season
there are several points that should be
kept in mind. Do not remove all the
growth shoots at once. If the bud is
earlier than you think it should be, do
not rub it off and run your chances on
getting another one, but let all the shoots
stay around it. These will grow and
hold the bud in check, whereas if they
have all been removed, the sap must
necessarily go into the bud, and cause it
to swell too soon. After the lapse of
a week or so, the shoots can be removed
one by one, and no harm is done to the
bnd.

If feeding has been commenced with
liquid, it should be greatly reduced or
stopped altogether during the process of
bud formation, if the plants are large-
leaved and gross, because they are al-
most at a standstill. This perhaps does
not apply to the commercial grower
much, whose plants as a general thing do
not get feeding enough, but it does apply
to a large and increasing class of grow-
ers for exhibition, who are pushing their
plants all they know how right from the
first. A strong dose of chemical has
been responsible more than once for the
failure of a bud to swell, and there is
no sense in wasting good material.

Charles H. Totty.

CHRYSANTHEMUMS OUTDOORS.

I want to ask a question in regard to
raising chrysanthemums under canvas
outdoors. Do you think it best to put
the canvas over the top of the shed as

soon as the buds form, or does the dew
injure the buds? C. F. P.

While I have had no practical ex-
perience in raising chrysanthemums un-
der canvas outside, I am safe in saying
that the dew will not hurt the bud before
it shows color, any more than spraying
under glass hurts it. Water sometimes
lodges in buds that are cup-shaped, as
early buds of Timothy Eaton are, and
rots them; but I question if the night
dews would be heavy enough to do any
damage. If C. F. P. has heavy fall
rains in his section, the canvas might be
a good protection, but otherwise, as long
as no danger from frost threatened, I
should say leave the canvas off.

C. H. T.

BUD SELECTION.

Will you please inform me when to
take the buas on the following varieties
of mums. They were planted in benches
out of 4-inch pots May 19, and are for

exhibition purposes. My plants axe Nel-
lie Pockett, Cheltoni, F. S. Vallis, Mrs.
G. Heaume, Mrs. H. Partridge, Merza,
Wm. Duckham, A. J. Balfour, Mrs. H.
Weeks, T. Carrington, J. R. Upton, Min-
nie Bailey, Lucy Evans, Janet Lady
Clark, Merstham Yellow, C. J. Salter,
Belle of Castlewood, Mrs. T. W. Pockett,
F. A. Cobbold, Loveliness, Gen. Hutton,
Col. D. Appleton, Dr. Enguehard, Mrs.
W. B. Chamberlain, Glenview, Golden
Wedding, Glory of Pacific, Polly Hose,
and Monrovia. F. W. B.

Without going into detail for each
variety specifically, I should say that
buds of any of the varieties mentioned,
with the exceptions of Col. Appleton
and Dr. Enguehard, may safely be taken
about August 20. The two varieties
named produce better flowers from buds
taken the first or second week in Septem-
ber. If you will read carefully my notes
on buds in this issue, you will probably
find all the information you need in bud
selection. C. H. T.

CARNATION NOTES.- VEST.

Watering.

As soon as the plants you benched
show signs of having gained a new root
hold, you want to reduce the syringing.
If the day is bright, spray once about the
middle of the morning, and wet down the
walks again after dinner to keep the
atmosphere in a good growing state.
See that the plants are dry by night.
If you keep up the excessive syringing
too long, you are liable to get your plants
too soft, and what is still worse, you
are likely to start some of the spot dis-
eases. After you have broken up the
surface of the so^l, you can begin to
water liberally, as the plants will be
making rapid growth from now on, and
the stronger this growth is the better
will be your early crop of blooms.

Removing Shade and Mulching.

You want to be getting rid of the
shade you put on your houses just as
fast as the plants will stand it. The
quicker it can be done the better. Car-
nations like the full sun, and will make
a better foundation for the winter 's work
than when they are shaded. The growth
will not be so rapid, but it will be bet-
ter matured and healthy. Rust and spot
diseases will not start as readily, either.

When you have taken off all the shade,
you will want to put a light mulch of
some loose material on your benches to
protect the roots from the sun. The
sun is quite hot yet, and will dry out the
soil in a short time where it strikes with
full force all day. A light mulch will
prevent this and will hold in the mois-
ture, besides keeping the soil cool. Stable
manure that has been piled up about a
year and allowed to rot will answer the
purpose admirably. Put it on about
half an inch thick only. After putting
on this mulch you must watch the water-
ing more closely. It is easy to get the

soil too wet when the roots have not yet
worked through it, and the sun cannot
draw from it. After you have finished
planting, pot up a few plants of each
variety to be used in filling up where a
plant may have failed to take hold here
and there, or perhaps has died from stem-
rot. Very few may be required, but
you will be sure to need a few before
winter sets in. Five per cent of what
you benched ought to be plenty. By
potting them now you will have them re-
established when they are needed, and,
you can set them right in and no fur-
ther care will be needed.

A. F. J. Baub.

HINTS FOR A BEGINNER.

How many square feet of glass should
a man have for growing carnations
profitably for the wholesale market, if
the owner, who has a good knowledge
of the business, expects to do the work
with a good assistant? C. B.

Your question has more in it than ap-
pears on the surface. In determining
how much glass would be required many
things must be taken into consideration;
I will undertake to point out some of
them, and we will try to reach some con-
clusion.

In the first place, it will depend
largely on the nature of your outlet and
what kind of competition you may have
to contend with. If you consign your
cut to some good commission house it
will not matter so much how large your
cut is. It will be handled along with
stock from other growers if there is not
enough of yours to fill orders completely.
For the small grower this is no doubt a
good method of disposal. If, however,
you mean to sell your stock directly to
some retailer, you ought to have enough
room so you can plant enough varieties
in each color to cover the whole season,
and enough of each variety to make it
worth while. A shipping business re-
quires a plant of considerable size to
work to good advantage.

■rtr'^ffw-u.:--^.^-

August 16, 1906.

The Weekly Florists^ Review*

\

Then the competition you may have
to contend with will cut a figure. If
you have to buck up against some large
grower of high grade stock, you will
have a hard time of it unless your cut is
of considerable proportion, or is very
high in quality. If you can grow a grade
of blooms that cannot be obtained from
your competitors you need not fear them,
whether you cut 100 blooms a day or
1,000.

Your facilities for delivery must be
taken into consideration. If you have to
drive a considerable distance to your
customer, or to the express office, the
quantity you send out each trip will
count. You can haul several thousand
blooms as cheaply as you can a hundred
in your wagon.

We take it for granted that you are a
first-class grower and that you will pro-
duce high grade stock. You are indus-
trious and sober, and you will manage to
make every foot of bench space pay a
high revenue. All these are very essen-
tial, especially on a small place. We
need say nothing of being economical
and thrifty. On these will depend
largely whether you want to make any
headway in adding to your glass area
and building up your business.

If you are alone in the field and can
dispose of whatever you cut to fair ad-
vantage, then the question is easy to
solve. All you need is enough glass to
produce enough stock to bring in a cer-
tain amount of revenue in a season. You
can figurejpretty well what your expenses
will be by enumerating the larger items,
such as labor, fuel, water, etc., and then
making a liberal allowance for inciden-
tals. You can do that better than I
could do it for you. In figuring up what
you ought to take in, you will have to
take into consideration what kind of
prices your market will pay. In one
market the products from a house 25x100
may bring $1,000, "while in another they
may bring fully twenty-five per cent less.
And finally after all is said and done, it
will depend on the man in charge whether
the business goes or not. I have. known
men who started on a small scale, and in
the face of strong competition made a
success, and they could do it again to-
day. The fact remains, however, that
the little fellow is at a great disadvan-
tage in many ways, and it frequently re-
quires fine management to keep his head
above water.

After weighing the matter carefully,
I believe that 10,000 feet should be the
minimum amount of glass a wholesale
grower of cut flowers should put up
under average conditions, in the way of
competition, prices obtainable, etc.
Even then he will be obliged to special-
ize on one or two things in order to
work to advantage. A. F. J. B.

CARNATION RUST.

I am sending a few leaves from some
diseased carnation plants. The trouble
has become bad on my young Crusader
plants, the other varieties not being af-
fected. Can this be checked? They are
losing lots of foliage. R. B. T.

Your Crusader carnation plants are
affected with the common carnation ru?t.
This variety seems especially subject to
this disease, and is ever ready to con-
tract it after every check. To get rid
of it, pick off all the spotted leaves and
burn them. Spray these plants over-
head just as little as possible, and give
them every possible opportunity to grow.

Malmaison Carnation Princess oE Wales.

If they are well established, you might
dust them with air-slaked lime, but don't
do it unless the plants are well estab-
lished. The disease, like many others,
requires a certain amount of moisture to
be active. When kept absolutely dry, it
remains dormant and will do no harm.
From this we have learned to keep the
foliage dry, except to keep down spider,
etc. A. F. J. B.

MALMAISON CARNATIONS.

Accompanying this is a reproduction
of one of the Malmaison carnations,
Princess of Wales, shown in a group of
carnations by Hugh Low & Co., Bush
Hill Park, London, which lifted the sil-
ver cup at the recent Temple flower
show. These plants carried on an aver-
age sixty flowers and buds. This firm
is one of the oldest and largest carnation
growers in England. They grow three
large houses full of the pink Malmaison,
and handle some of the American varie-
ties in similar fashion.

It will be interesting to the American
carnation growers to know that the
average Malmaison flower measures eight
inches across, and realizes in Covent
Garden market from six to twelve shil-
lings per dozen, whereas Enchantress
would bring from two to" four shillings
per dozen on the same market. Of
course, the cut of the latter would be
considerably heavier during the season.
At present the Malmaison reigns supreme
during the London season, yet all this
is significant of the fact that there is
still an opening for a carnation even
larger than Enchantress or Nelson Fisher,
particularly if it possessed the perfect

pink shade of Malmaison Princess of
Wales.

Many American growers smile at the
antiquated method of propagating the
Malmaison carnation followed in Europe,
but it is practically impossible to propa-
gate this class of carnation by cuttings
and meet with any measure of success.
Those which you did root would only
produce flowers half the size of those
propagated by layering. This will be
most easily understood when it is taken
into consideration that the wood of the
layer or cutting is half an inch thick
at the propagating period, which is
July and August. During the winter
months this plant lies dormant. We all
agree that the Malmaison will gradually
decrease in popularity, while the per-
petual flowering carnation will increase.

PLANTS FOR PARK.

We have a piece of ground to bed for
a private park, and are puzzled as to the
nature of plants to use. The bed is in-
tended for a miniature mountain and
runs east "and west. It must be planted
with hardy stock that will make a good
show and withstand the winter weather.
The temperature runs as low as zero and
sometimes 5 to 10 degrees below. We
can get any amount of hardy ferns, if
you think that they can be transplanted
safely. The ferns which we speak of
would come from Pennsylvania. Ferns
are wanted for the north side of the
mountain. What shall we plant on the
south side? The mountain has shade in
the afternoon and partial shade in the
morning. The outlet of an artificial lake
passes around the north base of the

mountain. The soil has been made good
but has some gravel and rocks in it.

The gentleman who wishes this work
done is a crank on flowers and has told
us to go ahead and fix it up, and he
would foot the bill. If you will kindly
give us all the information that you can
we shall appreciate it very much.

O. & H.

You do not give the dimensions of the
miniature "mountain," which makes it
difficult to advise as to the plants to be
used. However, you can hardly go wrong
in using for your taller plants such per-

ferns might be planted some of our
shade-loving plants, like our native or-
chids, smilacinas and thalictrums, with
some of the finer grasses and wet ground
irises. If there is to be sufficient mois-
ture nt some point at the base, alismas,
sagittarias, orontium, arisemas, etc., will
afford a pleasing variety.

The above list, supplied by J. F.
Cowell, will make a fine show for two or
three years, but herbaceous plantings are
like shrubberies, never finished. There
is needed a yearly transplanting or thin-

NEPHEOLEPIS AMERPOHLII.

It is a far cry from Nephrolepis ex-
altata to its youngest descendant,
Nephrolepis Amerpohlii, although it is
only a few years since the development
of the race began with the advent of the
Boston fern. Amerpohlii is one of the
filmy ferns, the first of which was Pier-
soni. The accompanying illustration
gives a very fair idea of the lightness
and grace of the broad frond. As in
Elegantissima, Barrowsii and Whitmani,
so in Amerpohlii are the pinnae in them-
selves miniature fronds, in this case be-
ing subdivided and again subdivided ad
infinitum.

This new fern originated with Edward
Amerpohl, proprietor of the Janesville
Floral Co., Janesville, Wis. He has been
growing it for several years and has now
worked up considerable stock. He thinks
he has in it a most valuable novelty and
all who have had the pleasure of seeing
the plants have agreed with him. Thus

far the stock shows no sign of degenerat-
ing; that is, there is no sign of re-
verting to the old Boston form.

Mr. Amerpohl will be at the convention
next week with a display of his fern.

THE CYCLAMEN.

Its Commercial Production.

Every commercial grower will, I be-
lieve, concede that the cyclamen as usu-
ally handled is by no means an easy
plant to grow, that is, to any degree of
excellence, and at the same time return
a fair margin of profit. Several years
spent in raising these plants by con-
tinuous culture in pots convinced the
writer that to produce them commercially
required some diflferent method, whereby
less care and attention would be needed
through the summer months, a method
that' would result in reducing the number
of weak, undesirable specimens.

Every year would see at the harvest
time a considerable number to be dis-
posed of at a low price, and as the cost
is no more to produce a plant selling for
$3 than one bringing but 50 cents, it is
easy to imagine the determination with
which numerous experiments were con-
ducted to gain the desired end.

To private gardeners, with whom cost
of production is of small account, and
cyclamen specialists, who are expressly
equipped for production in large quanti-
ties, a great proportion of which move
while in the 2-inch or 3-inch stage, this
article may not prove of special interest,
but it is the grower of a general line
of plants for retail at his greenhouse or
store, whose time is anybody's but his
own, that I hope to assist, and perchance
furnish food for thought to others.

Time to Sow Seeds.

To secure specimens of desirable size,
seeds should be put in by October 15 at
the latest. This allows fourteen months
for the plants to reach maturity and be
in bloom for Christmas of the following
year. For reasons given later, it is
preferable to begin operations between
August 15 and September 1. A passing
reference to the importance of using
none but the best strains of seed obtain-
able is sufficient.

Flats for Seeds.

Seeds may be sown either in earthen
pans or wooden flats, but for convenience
in handling, and inasmuch as sowing in
straight rows is one of the smaller fea-
tures of this method, specially con-
structed flats are advised. These may be
made of any kind of lumber, although
planed cypress is preferable as being
more durable and in the end cheaper.
Each flat requires six pieces of i/^-inch
material 2%xl8 inches for sides and bot-
tom, and two pieces of 1-inch material
21/^x12 inches for the ends. Nail to-
gether as ordinarily, except one side,
which should be fastened to the ends
with four screws. We then have a flat
21^x12x16 inches, with provision for
drainage, and a detachable side for use
when seedlings are large enough to prick
out. Two coats of paint will increase the
life of a flat fourfold, and besides con-
tribute to cleanliness.

Sowing the Seeds.

As cyclamen seeds are slow to germi-
nate, it pays to take extra pains in pre-
paring the soil in which they are to be
sown. Not only must it be of such a
nature as to remain in good mechanical

condition in spite of repeated waterings,
but precaution should be taken against
Its souring also. All weed seeds, worms,
insects, fungous spores and other ob-
jectionable matter should be destroyed or
killed by exposure to strong heat.

Although elaborate to a degree almost
British, a mixture in the following pro-
portion has given invariably good re-
sults: One bushel new soil made of well
rotted sod from medium to light land,
one peck le^f-mold or rotted peat, a
6-inch potful of finely broken, not pul-
verized, charcoal, the same of clean,
coarse sand, not gravel, and a double
handful of air-slaked lime; no manure
should be used.

Pass the soil and leaf-mold through a
sieve of i^-inch mesh, mix all ingredients
and bake two hours in a quick oven.
When cool, sift again to reduce any
lumps which may form by the heating,
fill flats even full, press with a board to
firm the soil, leaving a level surface
about half an inch below the top edge
of the flat.

Using one corner of a square stick six-
teen inches long, make eight or ten
V-shaped depressions or furrows about
one-quarter of an inch deep, running
lengthwise of the flat ; into these drop the
seeds about half an inch" apart, and cover
to a depth not to exceed four diameters
of the seed when the soil is firmed. Sown
at this rate, a flat of the dimensions
given will accommodate from 250 to 325
seeds, according to the number of rows.

Place where the temperature does not
vary much from 70 degrees, also where
they cannot fail to come under daily
observation; but do not allow any drip
on them or do not place on a bench con-
taining soil.

Water as occasion demands, keeping
the soil evenly moist but not sosdied.
An occasional slight stirring of the
soil between., the rows as soon as the
seedlings are well up, also the removal
of any mossy growth liable to appear
on the surface, will aid in keeping the
soil sweet, and will encourage sturdiness.

Transplanting.

By December or January the seedlings
should be large enough to prick out.
Remove the detachable side, cut midway
between the rows with a knife, when the
whole or part of a row as desired can be
taken out intact and the soil carefully
broken away without loss or injury to the
roots.

Some plants of extra size might be put
at once into thumb pots, but experience
has shown that better results are ob-
tained, also less care and attention are
required, by transplanting all into similar
flats, keeping those of a size together to
encourage more even growth.

Soil for this operation need not be
heated, but should consist of the same
ingredients as that used in sowing seed,
with the addition of a 4-inch pot of
finely ground sheep manure; or, if this
is not obtainable, use sod with which a
small amount of stable manure has been
incorporated when rotting.

When pricked out, the geeillings should
stand about two inches apart each way,
and should be at 70 degrees as before.

Subsequent treatment will be described
in an early issue. Geo. S. Osbokn.

NOTES FROM ENGLAND.

For many years past the Royal Sover-
eign strawberry, probably Messrs. Lax-
tons' greatest success in any new va-
riety, has been the great money maker
for the fruit growers in all parts of the

ALL READY AT DAYTON

United Kingdom. The only fault of this
valuable variety has been that it is more
liable to the attacks of mildew than any
other sort, and this year the disease has
had the best of the growers.

I notice an inquiry in the Review of
July 5 as to whether lilies can be had in
bloom in first-rate condition in Novem-
ber, and a reply that November is the
most diflScult month of the year to get
liliums in bloom. This may be so in
America, but in England it is one of the
best blooming months for retarded longi-
florum and auratum. They would come
out of cold storage during the last week
in June, and would not have been in stor-
age more than about four months. That
time would hardly commence to affect
the bulbs so far as future successful
growth was concerned. It is when
liliums have to be kept in cold storage
until along in October, and are required
to bloom in February and March, that
the effect of cold storage is the worst.
One of the greatest points to observe
is to induce the bulbs to make ample
root growth before the top growth gets
many inches high, and in England this
is accomplished by covering the pots with
six or eight inches of dry straw and
standing them in a shady place outside,
unless a large and lofty house can be
spared during the growing period. This
forms an ideal place to grow retarded

liliums, when heavily shaded during the
summer months. A small house, where
the atmosphere is confined, tends to make
the bulbs make too much top growth
before sufficient roots are formed, and
this is always at the expense of satisfac-
tory flowering. J. B.

TROUBLE VITH SMILAX.

I am having trouble with something
eating- the leaves on the young shoots
of smilax. It seems to be a small black
fly, as that is the only insect I can find
in the greenhouse. I have chrysanthe-
mums. Asparagus plumosus, Sprengeri
and some other plants in the same house,
all doing well. The smilax is the only
thing attacked. Could some one give a
remedy f M. B. F.

I am not acquainted with any black fly
that troubles smilax. There is a worm
that is often troublesome. If it is a fly
or aphis, try successive fumigations with
tobacco dust, but not too strong, as the
tender growths are easily hurt. If that
does not do the trick, then fumigate
with hydrocyanic acid gas. W. S.

BLACK SPOT.

The season is now approaching when
Beauties are liable to be attacked by
black spot, and every grower of these
who is alive to his best interests should
be on the lookout for the trouble and be
' ready to stamp it out as soon as it
makes its appearance.

Houses which are situated on low,
marshy ground, or where they are too
much sheltered, and where naturally 'the
foliage is soft, will be the first to suffer.
Care should be taken to keep the atmos-
phere of the house in as dry a condition
as is consistent with the health of the
plants. Avoid all sudden fluctuations of
temperature, and be sure to have the
foliage dry by sundown.

To prevent and hold this fungus in
check, a spraying of carbonate of cop-
per is recommended, using three ounces
of the carbonate and one quart of am-
monia to fifty gallons of water; apply
once a T^eek.

Cleanliness and care play an impor-
tant part in preventing and checking the
spread of this trouble.

Those leaves at the base of the stem
which touch the soil should be picked
off, as it is there the trouble usually
begins. All ripe, spotted and decaying
leaves should be carefully picked off
every day and destroyed. If this treat-
ment is persisted in for a few weeks,
and special care taken not to overwater
so as to check root action, if the tem-
perature is kept right and intelligent
ventilation practiced, this disease need
give us little trouble. Bibes.

TROUBLE WITH NEMATODES.

I have greenhouses in which I have
raised tomatoes for several years; the
plants are in the ground, not on benches.
They have become infested with nema-
todes. Being told that each species of
plant life has its own kind of nema-
todes, which would trouble nothing else,
I put cucumbers, beans and some carna-
tions in the same house. The first two
became infested, but so far the carna-
tions are untouched. I want to put some
roses in also. Will they become in-
fested? A. L. H.

That there are innumerable species of
nematodes, both parasitic and free-liv-
ing, is certain, but that there is a sepa-
rate species for each plant or animal
appears to be a far-fetched theory, and
quite beyond my powers of resea'^h.

The free-living forms are found every-
where, in salt water and fresh, in damp
earth, moss, and among decaying sub-

stances. They are always minute in size
and, like many other lower forms of life,
are capable of retaining their vitality
for a lufig period, even when dried,
which accounts for their wide distribu-
tion.

If the soil is good and properly en-
riched, and the rose plants are of good
constitution and properly handled after
benching, there is little danger to be ap-
prehended from eel worms.

It would not be advisable to plant

S. S. PENNOCK, MEEHAN CO.

The most important combination ever
made in the wholesale commission busi-
ness of Philadelphia was effected this
week, when it was announced that Sam-
uel S. Pennock and Charles E. Meehan,
the latter of the Philadelphia Wholesale
Flower Market, had agreed to form a
partnership to be incorporated under the
name of S. S. Pennock, Meehan Co., with
a capital of $60,000.

This news was the more surprising be-
cause both houses stood among the lead-
ers in the wholesale business, and it was
believed the competition between them
was very keen. It is thought that the
fact that both Mr. Pennock and Mr.
Meehan have summer cottages at Ocean
City, N. J., may have led to confidential
chats during their daily trip from and to
the shore, enabling them to reach an
agreement that would not have been pos-
sible under ordinary circumstances.

The new firm will carry on business
at 1608-1618 Ludlow street, Mr. Pen-
nock's present quarters, and they be-
lieve that they will be in a better posi-
tion than ever before to handle and dii-
tribute cut flowers and supplies.

roses in any worn-out soil, however rich
the fertilizer may be, as they rarely do
well in soil which has been in use in
greenhouses until it has been exposed to
the open air a sufficient length of time
to recuperate. Try fresh, virgin soil,
with the addition of one-fifth of its bulk
of decomposed cow manure, thoroughly
incorporated, and give your roses a
chance. Ribes.

Samuel S. Pennock started in business
in 1888, with his brother, Charles E.
Pennock, who was the pioneer wholesale
florist of Philadelphia. At that time
the business was carried on in the base-
ment of a plumber's shop at Sixteenth
and Sansom streets, and it was of mod-
est size. Mr. Pennock threw his whole
energy into his work and gradually de-
veloped it. taking entire charge after

the death of his brother, until it reached
its present splendid proportions. He
is a hard worker, an excellent organizer,
genial, kindly, full of enthusiasm, and
commands the absolute confidence of his
business associates.

Charles E. Meehan was for many years
salesman for John Burton, commencing
when he was hardly tall enough to see
over the counter on Avhich he placed the
flowers. He was known as the best sales-
man in his city. About 1886 he went
into business for himself, building green-
bouses in Germantown, where he pros-
pered exceedingly. In 1902 he was
chosen as manager for the Philadelphia
"Wholesale Flower Market. He has
pushed this business with such perse-
verance that from being of rather doubt-
ful strength it has become one of the
' strongest commission houses in the city.
Mr. Meehan is now the controlling stock-
holder. He is a wonderfully good judge
of supply and demand, of quality in
flowers and plants and an excellent buyer.
Like Mr. Pennock, he is far-seeing, punc-
tual and systematic. Thpre can be no
question that these two young men will
make the new firm a brilliant success.

NEV YORK.

The Market

The hot, humid weather of the last
month beats the record. The last week
has been no exception to the rule. Every
day it has rained heavily. The heat,
too, has been excessive, and the quantity
and condition of the flowers reaching the
wholesale market may be better imagined
than described. The consensus of opin-
ion is that July and August of 1906
have so far established a record for
abundance of stock, lack of quality and
unsatisfactory results.

A great many of the roses coming to
the market these hot days are anything
but satisfactory in quality, and it is nec-
essary to close them out at a great re-
duction from even the low quoted prices.
There is no demand for asters. Pretty
nearly everything is unloaded at the
buyers' option. There is absolutely no
limit to the gladioli. The sources of
supply are very numerous this year. The
beautiful pink variety, America, from
Childs, of Floral Park, maintains its pop-
ularity. The next surplus announcement
will doubtless be of the dahlia. Hy-
drangeas are abundant, and a trip
through the suburbs of New York dem-
onstrates that the supply is inexhaust-
ible.

The wet weather has had a bad effect
upon outdoor stock, especially the afcters.
Carnations are poor. There seems to be
an excess of valley, atrd lilies have depre- ^
ciated. There is little prospect of a
change for the better in the market be-
fore the first part of September.

The G>avention Trip.

The interest in the Dayton convention
grows daily. Walter Sheridan reports
all the berths in one car booked, which,
at this early date, is more than encourag-
ing. You may safely put down New
York as good for fifty, and it is quite
possible this total will be added to when
the magnificent entertainments promised
by the Dayton people are thoughtfully
considered. The train leaves the Grand
Central depot at Forty-second street at
2:04 p. m. on Monday. Chairman Nu-
gent, of the catering department, has
forgotten nothing that will tend to make

the trip an enjoyable one from begin-
ning to end.

Various Notes.

A -visit to the great gladiolus farms of
John Lewis Childs, Floral Park, last
week revealed a scene of expansive and
variegated coloring such as I never have
before witnessed. Over 125 acres are
devoted to the cultivation of this king
of summer flowering bulbs, and as the
average production is 80,000 to the acre,
you can reckon for yourself the enormous
output yearly. There are over 400 named
varieties, the most popular one of all to
date being America, a beautiful soft
pink. I am j|[debted to I. S. Hendrick-
son, for whom a beautiful white and
deep pink gladiolus was named, for many
courtesies, and my visit to the offices,
greenhouses, bulb warehouse, and print-
ing offices was made of a special inter-
est. Mr. Childs himself is busy in the
preparation of his new catalogue. An
enormous increase in the value of real
estate in this section has demonstrated
the foresight of Mr. Childs. The firm
will send a fine exhibit of gladioli to
Dayton, under the supervision of Mr.
Hendrickson.

Two interested visitors at the estab-
lishment of Anton Schultheis, of Col-
lege Point, August 10, were Mr. Pfister,
of Washington, D. C, and J. F. Hubs,
of Hartford, Conn. Mr. Schultheis has
ten acres of fine land, bought years ago,
before the boom, that cannot be pur-

chased today for less than $3,000 an
acre. It was seventeen years ago that
he made his first purchase here. Now
he has one of the most complete horti-
cultural plants on Long Island. Thirty-
seven houses are devoted to a large va-
riety of stock for the New York market,
and great quantities are shipped every
season all over the country. He has a
splendid stock of ficus, large assortments
of the popular ferns, houses of kentias,
orchids, begonias, ardisias, double dai-
sies, primulas, cyclamens, asparagus,
ericas, dracsenas, cycas, oranges, etc.
Mr. Schultheis is just completing a new
packing shed, 45x66.

The Schultheis boys are enjoying a
holiday in Sullivan county. These young-
sters, of whom there are seven, have
now four greenhouses of their own, where
they are taught practically the methods
that have made their father so success-
ful.

R. Dreyer and family have just re-
turned from a two weeka' holiday in Sul-
livan county and the Thousand Islands.
Gerard Dreyer leaves on Saturday for
Neversink, N. Y., and will end his vaca-
tion at Dayton and Niagara Falls. Mr.
Dreyer, Sr., has eight and a half acres
of land here which has risen rapidly in
value, and on which he has planted a
splendid stock of hydrangeas, ficus and
California privet, thousands of the lat-
ter averaging four to six feet in height.
The greenhouses are filled with dracsenas,
palms, and Scottii, Boston and other

ferns. Some extra fine phoenix and
cycas add to the interest of the exhibit.

Van Praag will open his new store at
66 Broadway, close to the entrance of
the subway at New street, on Septem-
ber 1. This is one of the best possible
locations in the Wall street district, and
ought to prove a most profitable ven-
tore.

Will Siebrecht, of Astoria, is so busy
rebuilding his houses, which have been
shortened on account of the widening of
the boulevard, that he fihdti it impossible
to complete his improvements in tiine
for the Dayton convention.

John Nash and family are at North
Asbury Park, N. J.

Phil Kessler left on Tuesday for a
four weeks' trip to Germany. Many of
the members of the Cut Flower Exchange
and his brother wholesalers saw him off
with appropriate celebration.

A. M. Henshaw is residing at Summit,
N. J., and has, during the last two
weeks, given most of his time to visiting
his growers.

James Maloney, bookkeeper for Hor-
ace E. Froment, has returned from his
vacation at Greenwood Lake. Mr. Fro-
ment himself left on Jilonday for Lake
George.

W. H. Gunther has taken his brother,
Jack, into partnership, and from Sep-
tember 1 the new firm will be known
as Gunther Bros. This is a fitting re-
ward for eighteen years of faithful
service.

Arthur Dacre has purchased the whole-
sale establishment of B. G. Wilson, on
West Thirtieth street, and will conduct
the business hereafter on his own ac-
count.

A. Warendorff is recovering rapidly
from the effects of the operation last
week for appendicitis.

Max Limprecht died at his residence
in Hoboken August 10, at the age of
45 years. He was buried on Sunday, and
many beautiful floral offerings were sent
to the bereaved family. Wreaths from
Ford Bros, and an immense standing
wreath from John J. Perkins were among
the offerings of the wholesalers. Mr.
Limprecht left an estate valued at over
$30,000. He was a Master Mason. For
over twenty years he has conducted a
florists' supply business on West Thir-
tieth street. Every year he has had
charge of the immense decorations in
St. Patrick's cathedral, and his greatest
accomplishment was the superb decora-
tion of the Dewey arches. The immedi-
ate cause of his death was locomotor
ataxia. He was faithful and tireless at
all times, and was respected by all^ who
knew him. The business will be continued
by the family and will be in charge of
his son, who has been for a long time
associated with him.

The French bulbs are arriving in large
quantities and their quality is up to the
standard. All the seed stores are busy
and fall shipments promise to be enor-
mous. The Thorbum Co. is now com-
fortably settled in its new and commo-
dious store, reaching through from Park
place to Barclay street, and larger and
more convenient in every way than the
one they occupied on Cortlandt street.
The new station being built by the Penn-
sylvania on Thorbum 's old site reaches
^ough to Fulton street and, whether
by foresight or good fortune, the new
store of William Elliott & Sons is di-
rectly across the street from the entrance.

All these wholesale bulb and vege-
table men will have an abundant field for
thar operations in the new scheme which

the Long Island railroad is developing.
Two hundred thousand acres of waste
land on Long Island is to be converted
into market gardens. This is the land
wI^ch the farmers considered useless. A
stretch was purchased and developed by
the railroad company, and extra cultiva-
tion given it, and it has been demon-
strated that every acre can be made
profitable. The Wading Kiver station
was called the most desolate, the soil
sour and with a depth of only three to
six inches. Agricultural experts were
invited to study the experiments made
upon the soil and they have been de-
clared entirely satisfactory.

Mr. Wertheimber, of Wertheimber &
Co., is back from two weeks' stay in the
Catskills, and Mr. Lessner, of the Yoko-
hama Nursery Co., is testing the same
grade of ozone.

Will Elliott is recuperating by fre-
quent voyages to the fishing banks and
indulging in his favorite game of bowlg.
He was bemoaning the loss of the silver
loving-cup won from his club by the
Kearneyites last Saturday. His brother
is taking the waters at Saratoga. J. B.
Kidd, many years ago with William Elli-
ott & Sons, and later with the Hinode
Florist Co., has returned to his former
love and is again with the old house.

Boderick, brother of Patrick O'Mara,
has been very sick for some weeks from

terially changed regarding other flowers,
except that prices are a little lower on
roses. Gladioli are still plentiful and
create quite a demand. White hydran-
geas are plentiful. Greens are selling a
little better than two weeks ago, especial-
ly asparagus and maidenhair fern.

A Step in Advance.

The Leo Niessen Co. has completed ar-
rangements by which it will come into
possession of three floors, that is, base-
ment, first and second floor, of a new
building that is being erected at 1209
Arch street. This building is of the most
modern type, being of concrete construc-
tion, and equipped with all the latest im-
provements. One of the features in the
new quarters will be an artificial refrig-
erating plant of the best make. There
will be two cooling rooms, one in the
cellar, with a capacity* of about 2,500

Mr. Niessen is a very strong believer

After the Meeting.

The August meeting of the Florists'
Club had adjourned. The debate had
been exciting, lasting until later than
usual, and the members were scattered
about in groups talking eagerly, when
the president rapped for order. Silence,
or something approaching it, having been
restored, he said: "I hope each member
will do all in his power to convince the
florists whom he meets at Dayton that
we want them here next summer." There
is no doubt of that. Every mraiber
present agreed that we ought to have a

convention, and a really good conven-
tion at that. Our last meeting was held
at Atlantic City in 1593. We hope those
who came there enjoyed themselves and
will want to come here next summer, and
we hope those who have never been here
will come and see what we have to show
them. We have Independence hall, the
Liberty Bell, Betsy Eoss's house, a mag-
nificent natural park, Memorial and Hor-
ticultural halls, with their gardens; Gi-
rard college with its beautiful grounds;
the magnificent greenhouses and grounds
at Kiverton, the perfect trial grounds at
Doylestown, unequaled supply houses,
splendidly equipped seed and commission
houses, and a progressive lot of palm,
fern, rose, carnation, violet and Easter
plant growers.

Better come to Philadelphia in 1907.

Wtssinoming.

"I could not buy plants like these,"
said Lemuel Ball, as he displayed house
after house of nicely grown stock that
it did one's heart good to see. Kentias
were the staple crop, a house being de-
voted to this or that size of Belmoreana
or Forsteriana, either in single or made-
up plants. The larger sizes of both
these varieties are particularly fine. ^^ie.
6-inch and the 5-inch sizes also showed
the effect of skilful culture. Areca lu-

sary in growing good plants as proper
soil, maybe more so. Plants don't like
too much fire heat."

Vyncote.

Joseph Heacock evidently believes that
the kentia is still the palm and that the
American Beauty is still the rose. A
glance at his place shows this to be true,
also that he knows how to grow ken-
tias and Beauties to perfection. Among
the kentias some pretty specimens are
made up, a Forsteriana in the center and
Belmoreanas around it. The palms closely
sold in the spring are now grown into
fine, salable plants in all the sizes. The
Beauties are full of vigor, breaking
strongly from the base. Other foliage
plants there are Dracaena terminalis, Co-
cos Weddelliana, Nephrolepis Whitmani,
etc.; other roses, too: Liberty, strong
two and three-year-old, cut back and re-
planted in bed and bench ; Killarney, only
as lesser lights, set along around the
stars; carnations also, and cypripediums ;
a place full of good stock. Cleanliness
and system are in evidence everywhere.
A new shed and cellai are the latest im-
provements.

Various Notes.

Tlirough an error the fare to Dayton
was published last week as $26.07. It

tescens is grown in limited numbers.
Latania Borbonica and Livistona rotundi-
folia are important side lines, well done.
A feature of the place is Dracaena ter-
minalis, which Mr. Ball has learned to
color beautifully. The plants in all
sizes were very thrifty. Cocos Weddell-
iana, Pandanus Veitchii, an assortment
of crotons, FicuB pandurata and two of
the fancy-leaved Bostons, N. Barrowsii
and Piersoni (the former is preferred)
are also grown.

A bed outside in front of Mr. Ball's
home, and surrounded by a neatly
trimmed lawn of velvet, was of more
than usual beauty. It was a circle of
perhaps six feet, planted with the best
bedding varieties of crotons and edged
with well-colored Pandanus Veitchii.
Mr. Ball is a plant lover with ideas
worth considering. Here is one:

"Proper atmosphere is just as neces-

should be $20.67. For single fare to
Dayton $15.50 is paid at this end. A
certificate from the secretary of the S. A.

$5.17 for return ticket, bought in Day-

Greeohoose Beating.

A MODERN HEATING PLANT.

The new heating plant of Bassett &
Washburn, at Hinsdale, 111., contains
some novel features which will be inter-
esting for those who contemplate build-
ing or renewing their heating systems.
The boiler-house is of brick, on concrete
foundations, being 50x125 feet in size.
In the center of the house is an immense
stack, 135 feet high and eight feet six
inches in diameter at the top. This stack
is made of steel. It is firmly bolted to a
'concrete foundation twenty-five feet
square and ten feet in depth. On each
side of the stack are fiye boilers, ISO
horse-power each, making a total bat-
tery of ten boilers with 1,500 hoiM-
power. These boilers rest on a solid con-
crete foundation made twenty-six feet
wide, 100 feet long, and two fe?t thick.
The boilers are connected with a steam
header which is connected to the two
main flows entering the greenhouses. All
connections are made with goose-neck
bends. The object of these goose-neck
bends is to provide for any expansion
or contraction of the pipes.

Each boiler is arranged with valves so
that it can be run independently of any
other, or all can be run together. .Leav-
ing the boiler-house the two main flows
are carried overhead in a central aisle
in the middle of the greenhouses. The
smaller pipes for heating each house are
so connected with each flow that either
of the main flows can be worked sep-
arately or run together. The main flow
is ten inches in diameter starting from
the boiler and tapering down to four
inches in diameter at the extreme end,
which is 800 feet from the boiler.

The condensation or return pipes com-
mence at the houses nearest the boilers
and flow to the further end, when the
water returns to the vacuum pump. This
vacuum pump is the main center of the
heating system, as it sucks the condensa-
tion back and pumps it into a large steel
tank, from which it is pumped into the
boilers, almost as hot as when it left.

Each boiler is equipped with a Jones
underfeed stoker, wMch mechanically
supplies the coal to the fires. A small
pea coal gives the best results. This
heating plant is located in a residence
section of Hinsdale, so it is necessary
for Bassett & Washburn to provide some
means of doing away with the smoke, and
these stokers do the work very nicely.

SOLVES HEATING PROBLEMS.

*< Every pipe in the greenhouse of
equal heat, " is a condition striven for by
all progressive growers utilizing steam
heat. This is not a diflicult matter when
approached in the right way.

The old systems of gravity returns
by placing the boilers below the ground,
or the employment of a pump to return
the water to the boiler against the steam
pressure, are fast becoming obsolete, as
involving too great an expense as well
as an immense amount of trouble. In
their place has appeared the return steam
trap. Although a great improvement
over the old methods, the steam trap at
the introductory period had one main
drawback — too complicated and always
in need of attention and repairs.

With a full understanding of the situ-
ation, the Morehead Manufacturing Co.,
of Detroit, designed and introduced to

the trade a tilting trap, which was
quickly taken up by many of the largest
and best known growers, and is now in
very general use. Once installed, it re-
quires no further attention, but at once
shows a saving in fuel, equipment, labor
and repairs, often beyond the expecta-
tions of its purchaser.

The trap will take water from the
condensing surfaces of steam heating
systems and automatically return it into
the boiler as feed water, filling the dual
capacity of steam trap and feed water
pump. This is accomplished regardless
of the position of the returns, whether
above or below the water line in the
boiler.

In construction the trap is extremely
simple, consisting of a cylindrical steel
tank receiver swung on a trunnion and
actuated by a counter-weight of suitable
%ize. A second obunter-weight is so con-
nected that it automatically operates a
steam admission and an air relief valve.
A steam port and two water connections,
the latter provided with check valves for
maintaining a flow in one direction, com-
pletes the list of trap parts.

The condensation in the returns is

forced into the trap tank by the steam
pressure from behind. When the tank
has received a requisite amount of water
it tilts, automatically opening the live
steam valve, admitting steam at boiler
pressure to the tank, thereby equalizing
the pressure in the system and permit-
ting the contents to flow into the boiler
by gravity. The air relief valve before
mentioned prevents the trap from be-
coming air-bound. All moving and ad-
justable parts are entirely outside, con-
sequently easily accessible.

The trap requires no attention; needs
no cylinder lubrication; will not race or
run away; never sticks; is noiseless; oc-
cupies a minimum amount of space; re-
quires no foundation, and, above all, will
handle water at any temperature.

These notes on a useful invention are
brought to mind by the receipt from the
Morehead Manufacturing Co. of an at-
tractive booklet devoted to the interests
of florists and greenhouse owners in
general.

The Market

There is little business, and it is just
as well that it is so, as there are few
flowers coming in. The demand seems
to be greater for asters than for any
other flower, and as a consequence these
are sold up , clean on sight, and more
could be disposed of to advantage. Glad- I

ioli are in heavy supply, and sell but
poorly. The demand is more for the
lighter colors, which can be used in fu-
neral work. Boses are not plentiful,
and the quality is poor. Carnations are
also scarce. It will not be long now
till there will be a good supply of these
flowers, and they will be given a hearty
welcome.

Vacation Time.

This is the time of vacations among
the florists, and many of the craft are
out of the city' enjoying a well-earned
rest. The following are among those
who are away:

Nicholas Weber and wife are visiting
at Chicago and Milwaukee, and Nick
writes that the fishing is fine.

Fred Gear and wife are taking in the
wonders of Yellowstone National Park.

Miss Laura Murphy, -daughter of Wil-
liam Murphy, is visiting at Birming-
ham, Ala.

WiUiam Murphy and wife leave short-
ly for Erie, Pa., going from there by
boat to Chicago. Mr. Murphy expects
to continue from that city to Los An-
geles, Cal., for a visit among relatives.

C. E. Critchell and wife have just re-
turned from a trip east.

Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Kyrk are spending
a few days near TiflBn, O.

The writer, while strolling down the
far-famed board walk at Atlantic City,
was pleasantly surprised at meeting two
of the lady florists of this city. They
were Miss Laura Steigler and Mrs. A.
Garges. Both were enjoying themselves
greatly, and thought Atlantic City the
greatest summer resort they ever had
visited. They expected to remain a
couple of weeks.

Various Notes.

George Tromey is passing around the
cigars to his friends. It is a boy, and
in consequence George's chest has ex
panded several inches.

All the arrangements have been made
for the Cincinnati delegation to the con-
vention at Dayton. This will be my last
chance to remind the craft in this city
to be on hand promptly. Our train
leaves the C. H. & D. depot promptly at
8:15 a. m. Everything points to a great
crowd from this city, and we are going
to have the time of our lives.

C. S. Ford, of Philadelphia, was a
caller, as also was William Lodder, of
Hamilton, O. C. J. Ohmer.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

Business in funeral work must have
been good last week, as several promi-
nent men died. In other lines every-
thing is dull, as usual, at this time of
the year.

We have had some good rains, which
were badly needed by the outdoor stock.
All of last week there was a big de-
mand for white stock. Kaiserin roses
are the best on the market. Just now a
few good Golden Gate are to be had.
Bride and Maid are poor. Beauties are
coming in better, with a big demand for
all grades. There are some very good
field-grown carnations coming in, though
rather short in stem. Extra fancy are
out of question just now. Some extra
good lily of the valley is seen.

Asters are in heavy supply, much poor
stock being in the market. Gladioli are
still plentiful and sell slowly. Tuberose
stalks sell well. Hydrangeas are just

trade last week.

Greens of all classes are abundant,
except galax.

Alexander Waldbart, Jr., aged 31
years, was probably fatally injured last
Friday morning by falling from the
second story window of his home. He
sustained internal injuries in addition to
minor hurts.

Gttb Meeting.

The St. Louis Florists' Club held its
regular meeting August 9. The atten-
dance numbered thirty. The meeting was
opened by Vice-President John Steidle,
President Ammann being delayed. The
trustees reported that they had $38 left
from the picnic, which was placed in the
entertainment fund.

Fred H. Meinhardt, who has charge of
the transportation to Dayton, reported
that the St. Louis delegation will number
twenty-five and will leave Monday night,
August 20, at 8:15 over the Vandalia
road, arriving at Dayton Tuesday morn-
ing at 8 a. m.

Applications for membership included
the following: Edwin Denker, of St.
Charles, Mo.; Chas. FuUgraf and G. H.
Pring, of the Missouri Botanic Garden;
Wm. C. Young, Frank Vennemann, of
Kirkwood; C. W. Wors, F. Hettemann
and Fred Alves.

The secretary was instructed to extend
the club's sympathy to the bereaved fam-
ily of the late James Hartshorne, also
to the Chicago Florists' Club in the loss
of one of its foremost members.

The election of officers was then pro-
ceeded with. Prof. H. C. Irish, of the
Missouri Botanic Garden, was elected
president. John Connon, of "Webster
Grove, was elected vice-president on the
third ballot. Emil Sehray and J. J.
Beneke were the candidates for the office
of secretary, and J. J. Beneke was
elected. Mr. Sehray, who has faithfully
filled the office for the last fifteen years,
moved to make the election unanimous.
For treasurer there were four candidates
and after three ballots A. G. Bentzen
was elected. Fred Meinhardt, the pres-
ent treasurer, was not a candidate for re-
election. "Wm. C. Smith was elected
trustee.

The president then called for remarks
from the visitors. They were George M.
Kellogg, Dr. A. S. Halstead, "W. C.
Young and Emil Denker.

The discussions for the next meeting,
September 3, were announced, as fol-
lows: "Growing Choice Chrysanthe-
mums for Cut Flowers, ' ' by Emil Sehray,
and ' ' Growing and Forcing Bulb Stock, ' '
by E. "W. Guy.

Various Notes.

"Visitbrs last week were George M.
Kellogg, of Pleasant Hill; Dr. A. S.
Halstead, of Belleville; Emil Denker, of
St. Charles, all of whom are going to
the convention with the St. Louis dele-
gation. Mrs. A. C. Canfield, of Spring-
field, and A. C. SterDS, of Philadelphia,
also were callers.

Hugo Gross, of Kirkwood, is a happy
father. It's a boy, and Hugo was so de-
lighted that he missed the last club meet-
ing,

Arnold Scheidegger, of Kirkwood, has
buiJt for Phil Goeble, and for A, P.
Erker, each two new houses for violets
and carnations. Mr. Scheidegger is him-
self a grower.

his specialty.

Mr. and Mrs. F. C. "Weber and daugh-
ter left Tuesday for a river trip south.
They will be back in time to go to
Dayton.

Mrs. Smith, mother of "W. C. Smith, is
visiting her son-in-law, H. V. Hunkel, of
Holton & Hunkel Co., Milwaukee.

Fred Alves, of Angermueller 's, is at
Niagara Falls. He will be back in time
to let the boss attend the convention.

Beyer Bros, again have the decorations
for the big Schwabenfest at Lemp's
park. This big annual affair always
comes in the month of August. It pre-
vents one of the boys from attending the
convention.

Henry Lohrenz, who is making im-
provements at his Park avenue place,
says he will be too busy to attend the
S. A. F. meeting this year. J. J. B.

PROF. H. C IRISH.

Prof. H, C. Irish, who has just been
elected president of the St. Louis Flor-
ists' Club, was born on a farm near
Janesville, Eock county. Wis., April
22, 1868. After the death of his par-
ents, in 1884, he moved to Spink county,
South Dakota, where with a brother he
ran a farm for four years. In 1888 he
entered the South Dakota Agricultural
College, graduating in 1891. His ex-
penses while at college were paid by
teachiog school during the long vaca-
tion and by working a few hours each
day in the horticultural department
under the direction of Prof. C. A. Kef-
fer, now of the "University of Tennes-
see. After graduating he taught school
one year and then did postgraduate work
at the Iowa State College of Agriculture
and Mechanic Arts, specializing in bot-

any and horticulture under Prof. L. H.
Pammell and the late J. L. Budd.

The year 1894 was spent in practical
nursery work with C. L. Watrous, of Des
Moines, la. In the autumn of 1894 he
went to the Missouri Botanic Garden as
horticultural assistant, occupying that
position until the beginning of 1903,
when he was made superintendent. The
early part of the years 1896 and 1898
was spent in special and postgraduate
work at Cornell University, with Prof.
L. H. Bailey, leave of absence having
been granted by the garden for that pur-
pose.

Prof. Irish has contributed articles on
various horticultural topics to the press
and monographed the genus capsicum,
and garden beans, these two being pub-
lished in the reports of the Missouri
Botanic Garden. He is a member of
several national horticultural bodies and
also many state horticultural societies.
He has been secretary of the St. Louis
County Horticultural Society and the
Engelmann Botanical Club, of St. Louis,
and is secretary of the preliminary or-
ganization of the National Council of
Horticulture. J. J. B.

Indianapolis, Ind. — C. A. Doswell, of
Lake Winona, gave an interesting talk
on landscape gardening before the Ma-
rion County Agricultural and Horticul-
tural Society Saturday, August 4, at
the home of Frank P. Johnson, near the
state fair-grounds.

Dayton, O. — Thoughtless people have
been despoiling the outdoor S. A. F. ex-
hibits at the fair grounds of their flow-
ers. It resulted in a warning being pub-
lished in the daily papers, threatening
prosecution for grand larceny, and the
depredations ceased.

Summer Flowers South.

L. J. in the Beview for August 9 has
well said that rose culture as described
July 26 by D,, in answer to S. B. S., is
too expensive and that carnations are
what we need. We are located in central
North Carolina and have had the highest
temperature for the last five days of any
place in the United States, yet we are
cutting blooms from old stock indoors
of May Naylor and John Young, white
carnations, but as yet we have not found
a pink that will hold out, as thrips takes
full possession of them. We have fin-

ished housing all but a few benches of
the varieties named, which we cannot
afford to throw out yet. We have some
thirty varieties benched now. Many of
them are the new ones on trial, but Wol-
cott is our money-maker. For white,
White Lawson is the best.

For the benefit of the * * crude western-

in histories, books on mythology, etc.,
that St. Swithin, he whom the enlight-

weather at this time of the year, was
bishop of Winchester in the ninth cen-
tury. When he was canonized in the
next century, the monks wished to trans-
fer his remains from the Winchester
churchyard, where he had been buried at
his own request, to the cathedral, and
they set July 15 as the date. Heavy
rains lasting for forty days delayed the
transfer; hence the popular belief (in
the east) that if it rains on St. Swithin 's

IN MEMORIAM.

It was with great surprise and still
greater grief that we learned of the
passing of our good friend, Jimmy
Hartshorne. He was well known in Buf-
falo, as in all large cities of this conti-
nent, and was on particularly close and
friendly terms with the writer. He was
all gold and full measure. Mr. Harts-
horne came into prominence like a me-
teor, with the great renaissance of the
carnation, and no one did more by his
enthusiasm and industry to make the di-
vine flower the leading feature of flori-
culture in tliis great country. His bi-
ography and achievements were well but
modestly written up in the pages of the
Review of last week.

Only once did I have the pleasure of
visiting Jimmy at his home and in-
dustry, and no place that I have seen
was better managed or in more perfect
order. We loved him as a wholesouled,
honest gentleman and, as the writer in
the Review said, if he was deceived in
the qualities of any of the varieties he

sent out, no one regretted it so much as
Mr. Hartshorne. But what matter all
his achievements or disappointments?
The sad fact is that he is no longer with
us to give us his cheery smile at our
annual gatherings. Deep is our sorrow
that we shall see Jimmy no more, yet
light is our grief compared to the great
grief which hovers over Joliet.

A countryman of mine by birth, ar-
riving in this country a poor boy, he was
a glorious example of what integrity, in-
dustry and intelligence can gain without
graft or injury to another fellow-being.
I am no believer that we shall have
wings in the future world, and most
skeptical on the teachings of orthodoxy,
but I believe the great Creator through
evolution has not endowed us with the
character and intelligence which good
men possess unless there is a future and
higher destiny, and, therefore, I confi-
dently believe that Jimmy Hartshorne,
in some blessed and pure realm, will be
given an honored seat and, in spirit, if
not in flesh, meet again his loved wife
and children. William Scott,

delsky and others, other tributes which

CHICAGO.

The Great Ctotril'Market.

Last week was quiet, but business
started in briskly Monday morning,
nearly every house in town reporting an
excellent day's sales. Local buyers took
hold stronger than at any time in the
last fortnight and shipping demand was
good. Monday is nearly always a good
day in this market, and Tuesday a dull
one. Wednesday and Thursday are quiet,
and Friday and Saturday brisk.

Beauties from new plants are becom-
ing more plentiful. Quality is good, but
of course stems are short. The cut of
tea roses from new plants is also in-
creasing, but quality is not yet anything
to brag of, stems being short and ,buds
small. There are few indoor carnations
and those from the fields are not of good
quality, the rains having served to rot
the blooms.

The early crops of asters have passed
off and receipts are now of the later and
better varieties. Quality has much im-
proved, large flowers and long stems be-
ing now the rule. White was scarce early
this week and commanded a premium.
The supply of auratum lilies is not so
heavy as it has been and not many
lougiflorums are seen. Gladioli continue
to be a tremendous glut. Sweet peas
are not abundant and if received are of
poor quality, almost unsalable.

The retail vrindows are full of hydran-
geas, phloxes and other garden flowers,
the water lily being a feature with many.
Green goods are abundant but selling
slowly.

Out in Time.

Two men well known and liked in the
trade are Messrs. Weiler and Pontius,
of the Superior Machine and Boiler
Works. The bank nearest their place is
the Milwaukee Avenue State and they
formerly did business there. About a
year ago they heard rumors of the rot-
tenness since brought to light and re-
moved their account. Their friends tell
them they are glad they got out in time,
"but they're not half as glad as we
are," says Mr. Pontius.

in addition to which his boiler has failed,
and he is practically shut down at the
busiest season of the year.

Various Notes.

A big crowd will attend the conven-
tion next week, probably the largest dele-
gation Chicago has ever sent. The spe-
cial train pulls out Monday at 12:45
from the Illinois Central station.

At the club meeting last week the only
action, 'aside from instructing a com-
mittee to prepare resolutions on the
death of James Hartshorne, was to elect
two new members, James Hamlin, of
Geneva, 111., and J. J. Wolniewiz, of
this city.

W. E. Lynch, of E. H. Hunt's, has
gone to his old home at Hatfield, Mass.,
to spend two weeks. His family were
already there.

C. L. "Washburn is back from a week's
fishing and Louis Gresens is again on
deck, so Mrs. Horion has been despatched
to Detroit for a rest.

E. C. Amling says he looks for an es-
pecially good season this fall. He says
there has been no great rush for stock
this summer, but a good, steady demand
that has made it his best summer.

A. H. Budlong's family is at Lake
Geneva, and Mr. Bualong goes up each
Saturday to spend Sunday with them.

At Eaton's, on Jackson boulevard, a
lily pond was one of the attractive fea-
tures last week^ the work of C. H. Grant.

The George Wittbold Co. stores were
closed and the greenhouses turned over
to a watchman August 11 for the annual
picnic at Edgebrook. As the firm has
some seventy employees on its pay roll,
with tneir families it made a big and

jolly party. These annual outings help
immensely in keeping up enthusiasm, for
it is the only day in the year when a
good part of the force forgets business.

L. Baumann & Co. will take a big dis-
play to Dayton. Mr, Baumann goes
down Friday night.

Miss Tonner writes the A, L. Bandall
Co. that she will sail from Liverpool for
New York August 29.

Frederick Sperry, of Vaughan &
Sperry, is at Saugatuck, Mich., but will
return to let A. L. Vaughan attend the
convention, after which he will make an

The Club Meets.

At last we have had a meeting of our

that wo had to be introduced to the of-

and a new member, Mr. Liebsch, of Ba-
tavia, was introduced and several can-
didates were nominated for membership.

The first important business was to
decide where and when we should hold
our annual outing. President Neubeck

William Scott a committee with power to
decide on |)flacfe, sports, date, etc., and

the date. There are many features con-
nected with this pleasant resort that
make it an ideal place for such an out-
ing. The ferry runs every twenty min-
utes, so there is no arbitrary time of
going or returning, and if you miss a
boat you don't have to wait four hours
for another. There is an excellent dia-
mond for the ball game, east side versus
west side, and a spacious bleacher for
spectators. Then there is a fine meadow
for the other sports, and for those not
interested in these games there is a fine
figure eight for giddy old men and
women who need some electricity injected
into their fading systems. For spinsters
over 40 there is a razzle dazzle, and
for the younger element there is a spa-
cious roller skating rink and a fine dance
hall. A merry-go-round for the chil-
dren, shooting galleries, bowling alleys
and vaudeville show, where we shall ex-
pect a monologue from Conie Forbach
on how to grow Gloire de Lorraine; one
from John Milley called "Money on
Dogs," and a third by W. "Warring, Jr.,
on the effect of horse racing dope on the

brain. Then, again, we must not forget
that we are on the pebbly beach of Lake
Erie, where we can bathe or be refreshed
by the cooling breeze ever blowing over
these inland seas. The day is to con-
clude with a substantial dinner at the
hotel. There is one feature about this
place that keeps it refined and respect-
able. No intoxicants are allowed on the
grounds.

There will be mailed shortly to all
members tickets for transportation as
well as tickets for the dinner. You can
go as early as you like, and return as
early or late as you choose, so let there
be a big turnout. We don't see much of
each other from one picnic to another.
September 5 will be the day to renew
acquaintance.

Route to Dayton.

The Dayton convention is next ii. jrder
and I am glad to say the attendance
from this city will be larger than we
expected. The route from Buffalo to
Dayton will be: Leave Buffalo on Sun-
day evening by the C. & B. boat, arriv-

ing in Cleveland about 8 a. m. The pa-
latial steamers are equal in size and ac-
commodations to the famous sound
steamers, and a night ride over the bosom
of Lake Erie will be a most agreeable
change for those who have traveled on
the cars from Boston or New York. The
round trip from Buffalo to Cleveland is
only $2.50, berths extra. We should sup-
pose that many eastern men would avail
themselves of this fine lake ride, and
those wishing to secure berths can do so
by notifying W. F. Kasting, 383 Elli-
cott street, Buffalo, N. Y. Some may de-
sire to push on to Dayton from Cleve-
land. We shall expect to spend Monday,
August 20, in the city of Cleveland and
travel with the Cleveland crowd in the
evening on the Big Four railroad to
Dayton.

and carved out his own fortune. He is
president of a Texas railroad, but what
interests us more, he is president of
the Green Floral and Nursery Co.
and takes the liveliest interest in
horticulture. He is a grand, big man.
I wish I had in gold all the weight he
is over 300 pounds. He is a type of
man that this country is producing in
increased numbers; big brains on a big
body. The molecules of gray matter
need no stimulant; they are kicking and
revolving incessantly and keep their host
ever on the jump, with new ideas and
new, broad, and brilliant enterprises.
Col. Green fires a practical question at
you which staggers you for its shrewd-
ness and practical good sense and ex-
pects an answer at rapid-fire speed in
return. He is as free of airs and style
as a Nebraska farmer. His visit here
was not for pleasure alone. He was
here to inspect Mr. Kasting's cement
benches and was so well pleased with
them that he invested heavily to equip
his own large place, and obtained the
right to manufacture these benches in
the Lone Star state.

Our desire is going to be gratified and

we are going to have a trap shoot, so
bring along your old fowling piece. I

DETROIT.

The Market.

There has been no noticeable change in
business for the last month or so. Good
roses are not overplentif ul ; the best
bring $5 and $6 per hundred. Carna-
tions, despite the small, inferior flowers,
move quite well. Good sweet peas are
scarce.

There are plenty of asters on the mar-
ket, but the majority of the stock is of
]ioor quality, short steins, small flowers,
and, as a rule tlie edges are bad. Good,
clean stock in asters sells readily for 7.5
cents to $1, but the poor stuff won't sell
at any price.

All Aboard for Dayton.

The Detroit delegation of about
twenty-five will leave in a special car for
Dayton Monday, August 20, at 12:3.5
noon, over the C. H. & D., picking up
the Toledo boys at 2 p. m., and arriving

at the convention city at 6 p. m. The
fare from Detroit is $5.80 round trip,
on the certificate plan.

The Detaroit florists extend a hearty in-
vitation to their brethren in Michigan
and Canada to join them and enjoy the
privileges of a special car or cars.

Various Notes.

The Market

A week of hot, muggy weather has
not been conducive to good business in
the flower markets. Outside of funeral
orders and some little shipping to sea-
side resorts, demand has been light.
Good material continues scarce and sells
without any trouble. Roses remain about
the same. Some nice Beauties, Carnots
and Kaiserins are coming in. A few
carnations of the new season 'a crop are
arriving. About $1.50 to $2 is secured
for the best stock, poorer grades running
down to 50 cents. Sweet peas from out.
doors have been poor this season, owing
to an excess of humidity. The few com-
ing in bring 20 cents to 25 cents per
hundred.

Gladioli continue of good quality.
Asters are abundant, but many eome
spotted, owing to the heavy rains. Some
nice Bouvardia Humboldtii comes from
one or two growers. There is no change
in other flowers or green stock.

^elch Brok to Move.

Welch Bros., owing to the continual
increase in their business, and finding
it impossible to secure additional floor

space needed at their present location,
have decided to move to 226 Devonshire
street, Winthrop square, where they will
occupy the whole of the first floor and
basement, each having over 6,000 square
feet of floor space, a total of 12,500
square feet, making it the largest whole-
sale florists' store in the country.

The location is an ideal one in every
way, convenient to the retsdl flower
stores, only a short distance from both
terminal stations, and close to the oflSces
of the express companies, these accord-
ing unexcelled opportunities for the
prompt delivery of goods for shipment.
The new premises will be fitted up with
a large cold-storage plant, ntw counters,
.benches, etc., of the most up-to-date
pattern and every effort will be made to
make it one of the bcOT equipped whole-
sale houses on the continent.

Welch Bros, now have been in busi-
ness twenty-eight years. Their receipts
and shipments of cut flowers cover every
part of New England, as well as outside
states. They receive more high grade
American Beauty roses than all other
New England houses combined. The
genial trio of brothers, Patrick, Edward
and David, have worked hard to build up
this business and it cannot fail to grow
and prosper in such able hands.

Variou* Notes.

The Gardeners ' and Florists ' Club will
resume its monthly meetings September
18. Present indications are that the ap-
plications for membership that evening
will break all records.

H. A. Stevens Co. has a very fine dis-

play of perennial phloxes at the nursery
in Dedham. They have a large and rep-
resentative collection of this popular
plant.

Alatthew Gray will succeed Robert
Marshall in charge of the E. W. Con-
verse estate in Newton.

Robert T. McGorum, whom we re-
cently mentioned as a new stallholder at
Park Street Market, has returned to his
old love and in future, as in the past,
all his shipments will go to Welch Bros.

Many carnation growers now have
their stock all housed and some are al-
ready picking from the new crop. Bac-
teria, owing to the almost continuous
damp weather, are reported to be un-
usually rife.

Among the exhibits to be seen at Hor-
ticultural hall on August 18 will be an
extensive display of gladioli from John
Lewis Childs, including that beautiful
and very popular variety, America.

Welcii Bros, report business as very
good for the dull season. They continue
to receive quantities of fine summer
roses, valley and other flowers, and are
planning for the biggest fall business in
their history.

James Wheeler recently branched out
into the bee business and finds it very
engrossing sport. He has made a pro-
nounced success of it. His favorites are
"Root's long-tongued Red Clovers,"
guaranteed not to sting unless squeezed,
and the greatest honey producers extant.

Taunton Greenhouses are making a
specialty of the new Nephrolepis Whit-
mani, for which they find an almost in-
satiable demand. They will have a
grand lot of large plants for fall trade.

Thomas Rolland finds the demand for
Lorraine begonias, in the culture of
which he is a past-master, heavier than
ever and has had to refuse orders for
them of late.

The Market.

Trade ia quiet, and thousands of pink
and white Cochet roses are thrown out
daily. Good asters are scarce, but plenty
of poor stuff is dumped on the market,
for which there is no sale. Gladioli and
auratums of good quality are coming in
and sell fairly well. Asparagus is plen-
tiful, but smilax is out of the question.

Horticultural Society.

The annual meeting of the State Hor-
ticultural Society was held at Orlando
Harrison's place, in Berlin. The Gar-
deners' Club, being the guest of the So-
ciety, was largely represented, about fifty
members .taking advantage of the spe-
cial invitation. The trip was one that
will be long remembered, from a social
point of view, as well as for the in-
structive good which the guests derived.

Three hours each, by boat and by
railroad, was the time it took to get to
Berlin. After arriving, dinner was at
once served on the lawn at Mr. Harri-
son's place. The table was decorated
with flowers and fruits, and plenty of
good things to satisfy the inner man
were provided. After dinner there were
several addresses delivered, which lasted
until 4 o'clock. Mr. Harrison then had
every vehicle in Berlin that could be
utilized for passengers, even one of the
large hay wagons, pressed into service.
About forty of the visitors rode over the
7-mile drive to inspect the Harrison nurs-
ery of over a thousand acres of trees.
The nurseries comprise fourteen farms,
and each farm has its superintendent
and employees. The visitors saw col-
ored men, women and boys, who are
largely employed on the place, engaged
in budding peach trees that had been
grown from seed. An idea of the im-
mensity of these nurseries can be real-

The Market.

There seems to be no improvement in
the condition of the market, everything
remaining dull. White asters, are in
great demand on account of the scarcity
of carnations. The early asters are
about gone, and the late varieties are
just coming in. The stems are getting
much longer and flowers much larger.
We feel that we could not do without
the aster. Prices on asters are low,
only $1 per hundred for the best, the
pink and the purple being the most
plentiful. Gladioli still hold their own
in making a show in the downtown store
windows. They seem to be fine this
year, and the recent rains have brought
them out in fine shape. Dahlias are
short in stem and there seems to be little
call for them. « u

We look for better business next week,
as some have booked advance orders for
large weddings.

Some of the growers have stopped
planting carnations on account of the
rainy weather the last week. This has
been the wettest August we have had
for many years.

Various Notes.

Your correspondent visited Maywood,
Mo., where the large plant of B. S.
Brown & Son is located. Here we found
everything in good order. They have
a large field of stock geraniums, which
is a grand sight. Just north of this lot
of geraniums is a large patch of cannas.
They are staked perfectly true to name.

A HAIR LINE ON BULBS.

There has been considerable change of
conditions in many of our productions in
the last few years, but one quite no-
ticeable at this time is the Harrisii lily,
or Bermuda bulbs. The cry of diseased
bulbs resulted in considerable damage
to the islands' products, although many
florists who had varied success with them
continued to grow them.

This year in particular, on account of
Easter being early, the demand exceeded
that of the last two years. A shortage
of crop is likely to occur in any growing
product, but nevertheless that should
never cause the change of measurement.
Crop conditions may be beyond control,
but the making of the measure is not.
It is not many years since the present
7x9 size bulbs were true 5x7, and the
9x11 of today were about correct at 7x9
measurement. Why should another size
creep in, called 6x7? This is virtually
taking away the best out of the 5x7,
which we all know were already small
enough, thus leaving the 5x7 size noth-
ing but 3x5. If you buy a car-load of
horses and there is a shortage, no ship-
per would put in ponies as horses. The
measurements in vogue, viz., 5x7, 7x9
and 9x11, should have remained the same,
and the standard of measure likewise
should have been maintained, giving the
purchaser at least the true size he pur-
chased.

Now comes another new creation, the
pure Harrisii and the common Harrisii.
This idea probably originated with some
one trying to meet low priced competi-
tion by statements of the cheap ones
being common stock, and in the same
breath offering pure Harrisii at an ad-
vanced price. Naturally the trade do not
want to grow what they think inferior,
and buy the so-called pure Harrisii. We
grew both side by side. The bulbs ap-
peared the same, the plants were the
same, and the flowers were the same.
The only difference we could see was the
difference in price and the supposition
that they were different when purchasing.
There may be a variation of crop condi-
tions among the Bermuda growers, but
that should not label the product pure
and common. It's pure Harrisii every-

body wants, and the conunon would be
worth just as mucn if they label it such.
Give us one grade only and the correct
measure, and the shortage of crops will
govern itself according to supply and
demand.

The shortage of 7x9 and 9x11 Har-
risii probably makes those sizes all pure
Harrlsii this season. The trade will
stand for shortage due to crop failure,
but will not tolerate discrepancy in
measurement, or hair line divisions in
sizes, or the doubtful representations as
to variety mostly created for financial
benefit. C. C. Pollworth.

GERMAN VALLEY CROPS.

Latest reports from the lily of the
•valley growing districts of Germany are
very satisfactory. The crop looks well
and probably above an average quantity
of finest quality pips will be harvested.
"The weather conditions have been very
favorable and the fields are vigorous in
•growth. The great fear now is that too
.much wet may occur during the next
,two months, in which case many black or
ipremature bells may be expected in next
4iutumn 's delivery. Should it not be wet,
we may expect as fine a sample as has
been harvested for some years past.

ANNUAL GLADIOLI.

For a long period I have grown, year
by year, a quantity of gladiolus seed-
lings. The seeds are sown about the be-
ginning of May in coldframes, and the
bulbs lifted in autumn and planted the
following year in the open ground, etc.
Several years ago I noticed a plant
that began to bloom in the seedbed, but
the flower spike was killed by frost be-
fore it came to full development. I se-
lected the bulb, planted it separately,
and crossed the flowers with my best
flowering sorts. I selected seeds from
this cross carefully, and sowed them
the following year about the middle of
March. Several of these seedlings be-
gan to bloom about the end of August,
and I obtained some ripe seeds of the
plants. Last year the first flower
opened July 23, but this year the first
flower opened July 12. By crossing and
selecting the very best and most perfect
seedling plants and seeds of these, also
by new crossings with pollen of the
diff'erent types of gladioli, I have in my
annual type of gladioli not only a rich
collection of colors, but also all the dif-
ferent types of gladioli; also last year
I noticed some plants with very widely-
opened flowers similar to those of ama-
ryllis. The beds show a continuance of
blooming from July until very late in
the season; the last flowers were killed
by frost. On many of the flower spikes
are opened five to six flowers at once.
The colors vary from white to yellow,
flesh, rose and pink, bright red, cherry
red, blood red to maroon and brownish
red, etc. Last year I noticed a few
\with light and deep blue flowers. The

individual flowers are of good size and
form, Feederick Eoemer,

PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED.

[Mushrooms and How to Grow Them, by
John F. Barter; published by John F, Barter,
Ltd., Wembley, Middlesex, England; one shin-
ing.]

American growers of mushrooms will

find much to interest them in the

pamphlet of fifty pages just received

from John F, Barter, Ltd. It is from

the pen of the senior member of the firm,

who is one of the oldest of growers of

mushrooms for the London market and is

at the head of what is said to be the

largest spawn exporting establishment in

England. Mr, Barter deals thoroughly

with the methods of culture in vogue at

Wembley and his text is illustrated with

a large number of fine half-tones printed

on plate paper, showing the preparation

of the beds, the crops of mushrooms and

the processes of the manufacture of

spawn. It is interesting to note that at

No florist can afford to go witliout

Its excellent reading matter and laige
and varied advertising department
make it an absolute necessity to
every florist.

the Barter establishment, said to be the
largest of its kind in the world, all the
spawn is now produced on the pure cul-
ture system, Mr. Barter says that by
experimenting he has found that dry,
hard spawn may be made to start as
quickly as fresh if the bricks are placed
in water and soaked, say, from three to
five hours on the day they are required
for use.

EUROPEAN SEED NOTES.

The onion crops mostly all over Eu-
rope appear to be in a very unsatisfac-
tory state and the latest reports are
that some varieties have been totally de-
stroyed by hail in some southern cul-
tures. The crops of white onions in
Italy appear to be only moderate. Re-
ports from both Holland and Germany
say the mildew has spoiled the crop in
many cases.

The cauliflower crop in the south of
Europe is very short, the low contract
prices of late years paid to growers caus-
ing a much decreased acreage. I have
not received reports from Denmark and
other northern cultures, but it is to be
hoped it is a more satisfactory crop than
the south.

Many complaints are heard from
seedsmen and market growers of the

very poor quality of the German aster
bloom this seasoa and the great preva-
lence of mildew in the centers of the
bloom. Most sufferers in England are
blaming the quality of seed supplied
from Germany last season. The flower-
ing of plants from seed supplied from
Italy is in every way satisfactory. Ger-
man growers have made some very heavy
purchases of aster seed in Italy and it
is now generally known that Italian as-
ters are, so far as mildew is concerned,
much to be preferred to those grown
farther north.

The turnip harvest iii England is now
in full swing and generally, I think, the
yield will be light, especially of the more
tender and fancy varieties of garden
sorts. Swedes, I think, will be up to the
average.

There is again much complaint in
England of weak growth of both Cana-
dian stocks of garden peas and Califor-
nian stocks of sweet peas. The percent-
age of germination of American peas
is generally high when grown here, the
growth and general appearance is also
regular, but the haulm is weak.

J. B.

FREE SEEDS AGAIN.

A special Washington dispatch dated
August 12 says:

Indications are that the Congressional free
seed distribution will be fought more bitterly
next session than ever before. Encouraged by
the pronounced opposition of the Senate and
House Committees on Agriculture to this appro-
priation, and its almost universal condemnation
by the press and public, those Interested have
undertaken a "campaign of education." The
seed dealers make no secret of their opposition
to the free distribution of common garden seeds.
In an open letter to the public, Henry W. Wood,
of Klchmond. Va., president of the American
Seed Trade Association, says that the seed deal-
ers oppose the practice because It is an unjust
Interference with a legitimate Industry, and
because it is a waste of public money. Mr.
Wood points out that the total packet seed
trade of the country amounts to 120,000,000
packets, of which the government gives away
40.000,000 and the dealers sell 80,000,000.
"What Industry could survive If the government
gave away free half as much as those engaged
In the industry sold?" he asks. He also sug-
gests that It is time for Congress to change off
and give away axes, saws, pocket knives and
looking glasses.

The American Seed Trade Association is com-
posed of growers, wholesalers and retailers, and
Is thoroughly in earnest In its opposition to
government interference in its business. The
Wholesale Seedsmen's League is also out against
It. Between them they are in touch with about
ten thousand persons engaged in growing and
selling seeds, and with at least fifty thousand
store-keepers who carry seeds in stock. As some
of the larger seed merchants have more than
one hundred thousand customers who purchase
seeds In small lots. It Is expected that they

will have been In oommunloatlnn with hundreds
of thousands of people before next session.

The granges have taken up the matter In a
systematic manner. Farmers are said to be
tired of the Idea that their votes can be Influ-
enced by the receipt of a package of seeds which
they can buy at the corner grocery for five
cents, and which usually arrives too late for
planting. They say they do not want sunflower
and pumpkin seed from Congress, and point out
that the 1242,000 now wasted In this manner
would support a national agricultural college
with eighty professors at $2. .500 a year and mifli-
clent funds to maintain the institution. Divided
iimong the agricultural colleges. It would give
each state institution between Ave and ten thou-
sand dollars more than they now receive. This,
the farmers say, would do much more good than
the distribution of seed.

The dollar for the Review is the best
investment T ever have made. — W. Wil-

The Weekly Florists^ Review^

August 16, 1906.

SKIDOO NUMBER.

Next Weekt August 23.

Advertisers who wish to chase out their
share of the early orders should make
haste to send copy for special announce-
ments to appear in the Review 's Annual
Convention Number next week. Copy re-
ceived up to Wednesday morning, August
22, can be handled, but a little time is a
great help in getting good display.

Readers will find in next week's Re-
view the season 's most comprehensive ar-
ray of trade offers, besides a full report
of the Dayton convention and much other
interesting matter.

STEEATOR, ILL.

Streator has attracted the attention
of George A. Whitcomb, of Morrison, 111.,
and his son, George G. Whitcomb, of
Cleveland, O., who are to come here and
establish immense greenhouses. The gen-
tlemen have betn here during the pres-
ent week and have gone over the details
fuiJy. They have options on two tracts,
one east of the Santa Fe and the other
adjacent to the C. I. & S. tracks.

Not only the splendid railroad facili-
ties of the city caused them to come
here, but the further fact that the geo-
logical bureau of Illinois reported that
Streator in the last five years had more
days of sunshine than any other city in
Illinois was an inducement which could
not be overlooked, sunshine being an es-
sential factor to the success of a green-
house plant.

Messrs. Whitcomb purpose to cover
an area of 200,000 square feet with
glass. If present plans can be consum-
mated they will next winter supply the
wholesale market with tomatoes and cu-
cumbers, adding other products as time
progresses. Cut flowers will be grown
for the wholesale and retail market.

TWIN arms.

The Market

Trade is quiet, and does not vary much
from the last two or three weeks' busi-
ness. The majority of the florists claim
to have ,had a better summer 's business
than in a great many years. It appears
that what little activity there has been
has confined itself almost entirely to
funeral work. But very few weddings
have occurred and counter trade amounts
to little.

Stock seems to be getting a little more
plentiful, and is of a better quality. Out-
door flowers are handled to a large ex-
tent, and decorations are heavier in the
stores. Prices are kept up nicely. Sweet
peas seem to be the special favorite, but
tuey are not so good as we have had in
former years.

The convention seems to be the main
topic among the trade, and if all go who
now contemplate doing so, the Twin Cit-
ies will be well represented.

Mmneapolit.

Miss Whitted, of the Whitted Floral
Co., will attend the convention. They
report a fair trade for the last week.

Carl Johnson, of the Powers Mer-
cantile Co., says trade is fair, but makes
no attempt at carrying a big stock.

Ralph Latham says that trade has kept
up remarkably well, and considers it only
a matter of a few weeks before another
active season will come.

outside of a few minor decorations in
palms.

C. F. Vogt reports a few good days

Gus Colberg, of the Swanson Floral

JOLIET, ILL.

Just at this season of the year, the
time Avhen everybody is building new
houses, the firm of Longren & Olsem is
kept busy glazing and finishing these
additions. They also install heating
plants.

The business of this firm extends over
a wide area. They have just completed
a contract for glazing and steam-fitting
at Omaha, Neb., for Hess & Swoboda;
also the building of a house 30x200 feet
for Joseph Labo, of this city. Work is
now being pushed at Eichmond, Ind.,
for the E. G. Hill Co. The work to be
done there consists of the glazing of five
houses, each 27x500 feet, and one house
12x500 feet.

Longren & Olsem, unlike most of the
large eastern firms, make contracts only
for the labor on jobs in their line, and
do not furnish material.

COLUMBUS, OHIO.

The Market.

Although we are right in the midst
of the dullest season of the year, trade
is not wholly stagnant. Counter trade
for asters, gladioli and carnations has
been quite good; many roses have been
disposed of in the regular funeral work,
which has been of unusually steady vol-
ume this summer. The seedsmen this
week began to get the first real autumn
inquiries and orders, customers placing
orders for potted strawberry plants,
nursery stock and bulbs.

We note your advertisement in the cur-
rent number of the Eeview of the second
edition of Scott's Florists' Manual and
request that you enter our order for a
copy of this valuable book. The writer
is thoroughly acquainted with the first
edition of this work, having often had
occasion to use it for reference while a
student at the Michigan Agricultural
College. Please rush this order, for we
feel, with Mark Twain, that we "would
rather not use violence."

The Weekly Rorists' Review.

AOGDST 16, 1906.

Notes of Vacation Rambles.

We lontinuecl our visits among the
florists jind ventured as far as Oregon
City, a picturesque little place on the
Willamette river, ac^cessible by boat,
steam railway and electric car service.
We chose the latter mode of transporta-
tion because of the scenic attractions
and convenient time schedule.

Oregon City is probably most widely
known for the beautiful Willamette
falls, situated right in the heart of the
town and furnishing power for various
manufacturing industries. Property on
the ground floor being too valuable for
greenhouse purposes, we were obliged to
scale a 500-foot hill before locating
B. G. Pier e, who combines fruit grow-
ing with a nice little cut flower busi-
ness.

^ After a second alpine-like climb we
were glad of another ho8j)itable recep-
tion, this time by Sam Roake. When
not looking after home industries Mr.
Boake occupies his time with private
gardening, at which his services are al-
ways in demand. With only a popula-
tion of 10,000, the cut flower trade is
not large yet. Both these gentlemen ap-
pear prosperous.

After feasting our eyes on the
grandeurs of nature we shot the chutes
to the railroad track and hit the ties for
home. Our first breathing spell was
taken at Gladstone, where we called on
Wilkinson & Hughes, whose specialty is
growing carnations for the Portland
market. The regular summer cleaning,
repairing and replanting was in prog-
ress.

Our next stop, a few miles farther on,
was at Clackamas, where that skilful
grower, Charlie Street, was just recov-
ering from a sprained ankle. He went
fishing out of season and got hurt by
some driftwood while trying to land a
big salmon trout. While some fine roses
are grown here, it is on violets that Mr.
Street has won his reputation, and he
cannot be beaten.

We then came across lots to Milwau-
kee aid into the back yard of Julius
Broetje. All shapes and sizes of fancy
Japanese shrubs are kept in stock here,
and a distinct feature of the place is
an artificial lily pond. These beautiful
aquatics are rare in Oregon, Mr. Broetje
having a numopoly on them, and it is
rumored that they were such an attrac-
tion to a certain young lady that she
consented to become Mrs. Broetje last
.Tune.

We reached home at the supper hour,
having covered the distance of twenty
miles from Oregon City in the remark-
ably short time of four hours and fif-
teen minutes, including stops.

CARE OF SEEDLINGS

It is during the months of July and
August that we plant most of our hardy
tree and palm seeds on this coast. It
is possible with most of the varieties
grown here 1o get well ripened seed dur-
ing those months, and it is always best
to sow hard-sholled seeds during warm
weather. A'uch time can be saved if
see<ls are grown under glass either in a
greenliou.se or in a frame. Seeds like

a warm atmosphere to make them germi-
nate readily, although usually they
should be removed to a cooler place after
they begin to show they have germi-
nated.

It is a great assistance in starting any
of our hardy palms to dip the seeds for
several seconds in boiling water at in-
tervals of ten minutes apart, and to plant
them when they are still moist. Tlie
varieties of fan palms can be made to
grow in a few days by this method, and
with this variety it is just as well to
leave them under glass for a couple of
months. With the several sorts of
chama>rops germinating does not proceed
so quickly, and tiic little plants are of
slow growth until they are about two
years old. It is a goi»d plan to leave
these also under glass for a whole sea-
son, or if no glass Ls available a shade
house does very well. With the various
kinds of phoenix, it is also a good plan
to leave them inside until they have
commenced to make their second seed
leaf.

It is not a good idea with palms to
plant the seeds too closely together, as
it is usually the following spring at
least before they are transplanted from

beds or flats, and in the meanwhile many
small plants will damp off if there is
not a sufficient circulation of air around
the stems.

This rule applies to all classes of tree
seeds. The general tendency of garden-
ers seems to be to put too much seed
in a given space. This becomes espe-
cially noticeable late in the season, when
the days get short and the nights long
and no bottom heat is resorted to. Aca-
cias, cypress, eucalyptus, pittosporum,
pepper, magnolia and many other orna-
mental trees well known here should be
planted always at this time. None of
these is of very slow germinating quali-
ties, and it is possible to transplant them
early the following spring, either into
small pots or into the ground.

A lath house is convenient in growing
all kinds of seedlings. Taken in connec-
tion with a greenhouse, it goes a long
way toward keeping the stock of young
plants from damping off, and at the same
time protects them from too much heat

overhead. Lath houses always should be
constructed with benches of the usual
height, so that it will not be necessary
to put the flats or small pots on the
floor.

On hardy seedlings too much water
should not be used, and plenty of air
should be given to the houses. This en-
courages a heavier growth and renders
the young plants less liable to a setback
when they are transferred to cooler quar-
ters. G.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market

The aster crop is now at its height,
and as a consequence there has been less
4lemand for carnations and other stock.
The price of asters is about twenty-five
j)er cent less than that obtained by the
growers last season. The quality of most
of the stock is fair, although it is easy to
see that a considerable quantity of it ha.s
been neglected. Swpot peas, owing to
the continued cool weather, are better at
tiiLs timo than tliev liavc been for sev-

eral months. They cost the retailers an
average of 75 cents per dozen bunches.
An improvement has been noted also in
the supply of roses, and for the same
reason. The price of good stock remains
about the same as it has for the last
month.

Amaryllises and Japanese lilies are to
be had in any quantity at low prices, but
they are of slow sale. Gladioli are about
over for the season.

Business is quiet enough, although
there are indications that there will be
considerable doing in a short time. Many
people are returning from the country,
and now that the schools have opened
again quite a difference will soon be
noted. Funeral work continues to be
the main source of revenue at present,
and on several days last week there was
an abundance of it, well divided among
the various dealers.

In Oakland and Alameda business has
been fair, considering the season. There
has been a good quantity of wedding
work in addition to the usual number of
funeral orders. Things in general are

The Templin Co., the firm that has
made Calla, Mahoning county, famous,
has bought out the old stand of Walker
& McLean, 115 West Federal street. The
Templins will manage the store and sup-
ply the seed stock for the same, making
the establishment a first-class seed and
flower store. John Walker, of the origi-
nal firm of Walker & McLean, will have
charge of the greenhouses at Crab Creek
as formerly. Owing to a disagreement
among the partners, the florists. Walker
& McLean, went into the hands of a
trustee some months ago. William Cor-
nelius has filled the position which on
August 15 became a court record only.

The Templin Co. does an immense busi-
ness in the greenhouse line. The reve-
nue derived at the Calla postoffice from
this firm alone makes the postoffice the
second in importance in Mahoning
county. The fact that they have inter-
ested themselves in the local establish-
ment means much to the future of the
business.

John Walker is an expert grower. He
has had years of experience in Philadel-
phia before coming to Youngstown. The
firm will do much of its shipping from
this city, but the main offices of the
Templin Co. will be retained at Calla.

JAMESTOWN, N. Y.

The development of the establishment
of the Lake View Kose Gardens has been
something remarkable, and not less note-
worthy is the addition at present under
way. It consists of forty-five houses,
each 20x200, and constitutes the largest
single addition which has ever been made
to the establishment. When completed
the total glass area of the place will
exceed a million square feet.

The new houses are to be planted as
follows: Eight to smilax, 52,000 plants;
thirteen to Asparagus plumosus, 48,000
plants; two to Sprengeri, 6,000 plants;
three each to Bride, Bridesmaid, Rich-
mond and Liberty roses, 48,000 plants in
all; nine to carnations. White Lawson,
Queen, Mrs. Lawson, Enchantress ana
Estelle, 30,000 plants; one house to adi-
antum.

In a block of old houses 96,000 carna-
tions have been planted. Thirty houses
each 300 feet long are devoted to roses,
including Beauty, Meteor, Killarney and
La Detroit. Chrysanthemums to the
number of 75,000 are also planted and
75,000 lilies are grown annually, besides
many thousands of French and Dutch
bulbs. One house is devoted to sweet
peas. In the older ranges eight houses
are given to asparagus and eight to
smilax. Several houses arc devoted to
Easter plants, including Crimson Ram-
bler, azaleas, hydrangeas, rhododendrons,
etc. Several houses are devoted to palms
and ferns and 20,000 geraniums in 4-inch
pots are grown for the spring trade.

I AM overwhelmed with orders, from
Boston to Seattle. — J. D. Brenneman,

CHICAGO TO DAYTON.

The Chicago Florists' Club has con-
cluded arrangements for the special train
over the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago
& St. Louis E. B., leaving the Illinois
Central passenger station, Twelfth street,
Chicago, at 12:45 Monday noon, August
20, and due to arrive in Dayton, via
Kankakee, Lafayette and Indianapolis,
about 8:40 p. m., practically a daylight
ride all the way. The train will consist
of three or more new day coaches, one
combination car, one dining car to serve
luncheon and dinner a la carte.

The rate by the certificate plan for the
round trip is only $9.70. The tickets are
good on all trains August 17 to 23, and
for the return trip the validated certifi-
cates will be honored up to and including
August 31.

The Chicago Florists' Club cordially
invites the florists of the northwest and
southwest, delegates to the convention,
to join this special train at Chicago Mon-
day noon as above stated, and see that
when they buy their tickets and secure
their certificates that these tickets read
via Big Four route from Chicago to Day-
ton.

Delegates who can join us at any point
along our route are requested to do so.
The committee will be glad to hear as
early as possible from all who decide to
join our party, so that the necessary ar-
rangements can be made in time. Dele-
gates buyiag tickets in Chicago will se-
cure them at the city ticket office of the
Big Four, 238 South Clark street, with
certificates.

DAYTON, OHIO.

G>nvention Notes.

Make free use of the information bu-
reau at the Union station. You cannot
miss it. Some members of the Dayton
Florists' Club will be at the depot at
all times to help you along as much as
possible. Leave your baggage with the
baggagemaster at the information bu-
reau and he will deliver it to your hotel
or boarding-house at once.

In the office of the exhibition building
you will find a postoffice established, so
have your letters addressed reading:
* * Convention, Society of American Flor-
ists, Fairgrounds, Dayton, Ohio." You
will find a telegraph office at the secre-
tary's office, besides the free use of tele-
phones.

"We should like to direct your attention
to a novel feature of this convention;
that is, the exhibition of plants for parks
and suburban and city homes, of some
of the largest concerns in the United
States, also of some undiscovered talent.
You will be surprised what talent is
slumbering in the art of landscape gar-
dening and garden architecture. As the
S. A. F. has made no provision for prizes
for such an exhibit, the Dayton Florists '
Club will do so in the shape of gold,
silver and bronze medals.

"We regret to say that, through some
misunderstanding, a large southern con-
cern has placed its exhibits of cannas in
the public parks. However, the same
concern will exhibit its cut flowers in
the exhibition hall, and all desiring to
see these plants in the beds will be
taken into the respective parks in a pri-
vate conveyance by our genial park su-
perintendent, Mr. Killworth.

Archbald, Pa. — Mr. and Mrs. C. H.

OBITUARY.

Alexander Emslie.

Alexander Emslie is dead, after a
long illness with tuberculosis. Mr. Ems-
lie was born in Aberdeenshire, Scotland,
in 1868, and came to this country when
10 years of age. He had been engaged
extensively in the florist business at
Barre, and had built up his plant from
a small one to many times its original
size. He is survived by his wife and
two children, two brothers, George and
William, in Berlin, besides his father
and mother in Scotland. He was a
prominent member of the Clan Gordon,
Odd Fellows and Masons.

Watch Us Grow

ARAUCARIAS, the best decorative plants
Nature produces, our specialty.

Every man In business and life, to be success-
ful, must adopt one thing as his specialty and
that specialty, of whatever nature It may be, he
must guard, study and push to such an extent
that It not only benefits himself but he must con-
tinue it so every one who seeks his aid, services
or his article, which he advertises or practices,
will share a slice of his activity and prosperity.
I made the Importation and cultivation of arau-
carlas a special study in my life. The figures
below win show my success In business from
the first year; by commencing with an importa-
tion of 260 and now, the eleventh year, my impor-
tation has grown up to 6,000 (come and see It),
the reason being that tlie araucaria grows yearly
more in favor with the plant consuming people all
over the country, as a most admired decorative
plant for the parlor, bed-room, dining and sitting-
rooms, stores and hotels, lawns and porches.
The outlook will be of an importation of at least
8,000 to 10,000 in spring of 1907. To secure this
vast amount for 1907, I am now on the ocean, per
Steamer New Amsterdam, leaving Hoboken Aug.
15, striking for Belgium, making contracts for
next year. I shall also bring over with me at the
same time, a large lot of choice Azalea Indlca
and Palms, etc., for Christmas and Easter forc-
ing. No money will be spared to secure for my
customers the cream of the Belgium greenhouses
only.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

AUQUST 16, 1906.

INDIANAPOLIS.

Business G)ndiUons.

The last week has been the hottest we
have experienced this Buinmer, and while
this city has had several heavy rains,
they were partial and only extended a
few miles in any direction. Some sec-
tions of the country are needing rain
badly. Carnation planting is going on
apace, and this week will see the ma-
jority of the growers finished.
Variotis Notes.

Bertermann Bros, are having their
store newly decorated. When finished it
will make the place more attractive than

ever.

John Eieman is also remodeling his
store. He will gain considerably more
room by the change he is making and
will be in fine shape to handle his in-
creasing trade. ,

Walter Bertermann is at Atlantic City
trying to find out "What are the Wild
Waves Saying."

William Billingsly is spending his va-
cation at Bass Lake fishing and boating,
and getting in good shape for the S. A.
F. meeting.

Homer Wiegand and wife are travel-
ing in the east, taking in New York
city, Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Cleveland,
etc., on their trip.

Eodenbeck Bros, expect to build an
addition to their plant at once. S.

PITTSBURG.

The Market

Pittsburg and the surrounding country
have been visited by severe storms every
day the last week, some of them seeming
almost cloudbursts; they have done much
damage to crops, in some cases ruining
them entirely, but with the exception of
the loss of several fields of early asters,
the growers have not suffered.

The cut flower trade has been better
than the average August business for
the last week, especially with the whole-
sale houses. They have had a hard time
to supply the amount of good stock
wanted, but they are having their
troubles with the poor grades of asters
and small roses, which are coming in a
deluge. Gladioli also are a drug on the
market, and are selling so cheaply the
wholesale men say it does not pay to
pack them where they have to be shipped.

Various Notes.

Ernest Garland, formerly with the
Washington Floral Co., has three houses
under way, about 12,000 feet of glass,
at Finleyville, which he will plant with
carnations for the wholesale trade.

Joseph Seaman, of Washington, Pa.,
with Geo. Garland, his foreman, were
visitors at the Pittsburg Rose & Carna-
tion Co., Bakerstown, Pa., last Saturday,
and were highly pleased with what they
saw there. Mr. Seaman already has his
stock all planted in the houses.

There will be quite a large delegation
to Dayton from Pittsburg, most of whom
will leave Monday, August 20, on the
train leaving Pittsburg at 9 a. m., via
the P. C. C. & St. L.; fare, $9.35, on
the certificate plan. Those desiring fur-
ther information should call up W. A.
Clarke, of the Pittsburg Cut Flower Co.

Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Langbans, of
Wheeling, W. Va., are spending their va-
cation on the farm of Samuel Taylor,
Mrs. Langhans' father, near Bellevue,
Pa.

Gentlemen. '—You can strongly and unhesitatingly recommend the
" Eclipse " piston type reducing valve to florists. We have two purchased
of you last year. We would not have them out for double their cost and
find them as sensitive as a watch. We will be In Chicago soon to take up
the vacuum system with you. Yours truly,

NOTES OF EASTERN RAMBLES.

In a mixed business and pleasure trip,
we recently had the chance of seeing
many places which have been unvisited
by us for many years, and of conversing
with their owners.

At Bedman's establishment, at Rah-
way, N. J., we were surprised at the acre-
age set apart for salvias. He has all
the varieties, and they look good. A
new sort, pink, sturdy habit and dark
green foliage, he expects to have suflS-
cient stock of to supply the trade in
1908. Portulacas, cockscombs, and striped
and blotched petunias are also excellent
.features. Tomatoes are grown to the
number of 500,000 plants. In plants for
seed of all descriptions, over eighteen
acres are grown on his place.

Carnations at C. H. Allen's green-
houses. Floral Park, L. I., thrive to the
best advantage. Victory, Charles Web-
ber's introduction, has proven so far the
leader for the Long Island growers as
the best scarlet.

John Lewis Childs has a large plant
outside of his seed and bulb houses.
New strains of Rex begonias, as well as
fine specimens of crotons, stand out par-
ticularly well. He has also a good gen-
eral collection of plants. Mr. Childs, with
his customary hospitality, took us in his
horseless carriage for a ride around his
property. We had long known that glad-
ioli were some of the leading features
at Floral Park, but were astonished at
the space devoted to this item.

At Despatch, near Rochester, N. Y.,
James Vick's Sons' trial grounds were
showing good returns. Practically all
the hardy annuals were in bloom. A
large space was set apart, we were in-
formed, for a contract order of 100
pounds of Phlox Drummondii grandi-
flora. Snowdrift aster was in full flower.
Their other varieties were looking well,
but the prospects are for a thin crop of
seed.

At Cranford, N. J., where L. Ussing
has been located for over thirty years, we
found a class of plants which one rarely
can discover in this country, especially
grown for the New York market, such
as wallflowers, myosotis, yellow and white
daisies, etc., which are brought in for
Christmas. Mr. Ussing always comes
home from the city with an empty bas-
ket. He personally sells his stock.

W. H. Keyser, Jersey City, says he
liad the oest trade for many years last
spring. He grows a great many of the
vegetable plants used by the seed trade
in New York city and has also a good
sale for bedding plants. F. S. P.

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 ; years old, and replaced the same with 6ooo feet
of the GARLAND IRON GUTTER, this being his fifth annual order.

IN THE
li-BAR CONSTRUCTION

we ancase the wooden sashbar
wlth a gralvanized steel U-shaped
bar— the combined member belngr
no largrer than the smallest sash-
bar used In other constructions.

U-BAR ORBENHOUSES
Are the Best Greenhouses Built

because they eliminate all heavy
Iron rafters, many lateral supports,
place the bars farther apart, while
still riving' a house of wonderful
rigidity and duraoility.

The Test of Products

Here is a test that every florist and grower can
make for himself, as the construction of your house
vitally affects the stock you grow. If your houses are
not built right you cannot expect to turn out perfect
plants.

Does your house produce the amount of stock and
the kind of stock it should ? Let us furnish you the
material for your next house and then make a test —
we only ask for a trial order.

Our catalogue will tell you more.

The Real Test Cases

On boilers are often the isolated cases, the cases you and I
don't hear of every day — ( but after a while they get around
to us— and to other boiler makers) — the cases where
extra heavy work has been put on boilers, and they've met
it without disproportionate coal cost — the kind of a boiler
that always holds up its end — The Hitchings Boilers are
made that way.

with Every One

Straight From The Shoulder

Florists^
Supplies

In our Supply Department it is a rule
to make only Wire Designs that will give our
customers entire satisfaction. We not only
know how good wire designs should be made,
but we go further and MAKE ALL OUR
DESIGNS that way. Nothing but the best
and proper grade of wire enters into the
construction of our frames, and none but
skilled mechanics are employed in making
them. We do not do cheap work, but we do
GOOD work, CHEAP. We give no one
cause to complain that our designs are
"flimsy." We have considered this common
complaint, and have set a strong, substantial,
and perfect design for our standard.

If you want a special design, give us the
order. We make any wire design within the
bounds of possibility, and make it RIGHT.

If anything that we may send you is not
exactly as represented, or does not meet
entirely with your approval, or if you feel that
we are not giving you a dollar's worth for
every dollar you spend with us, RETURN the
goods at our expense. That is fair, isn't it?

Cut
Flowers

Doing a very large shipping trade in Cut
Flowers, with quality of stock at least the
equal of any in this market, we shall have
supplies this season to enable us to again
increase our business in this department.

You can get of us anything and every-
thing you need, for we iiandle every flower
in its season and can take care of the largest
buyers, while no order is too small to receive
our careful attention. (Many a customer
who started with us as a small buyer is now
with us as a big one.)

Besides quality of stock, and large supply,
we also guarantee promptness, as we decline
to make promises which we are unable to
fulfill, and you may rest assured that any
orders placed with us will be executed in a
manner to please you.

We do not want you as a customer simply
for one order. We want to gain your patron-
age and retain it by square dealing. Therefore,
when we make a statement, we do so because
we can support it. But what's the use of
arguing further? Unless you TRY US, you
cannot appreciate our statements.

NEW SEEDLING HYBRID TEA ROSE

Countess of Gosford

Awarded the Gold Medal of the

This magnificent rose is deatined to take a leading place among rosea, both
aa an exhibition variety aa well aa for garden decoration and pot culture. It ia

A Fine, Strong Grower, with a Free Branciiing Habit

arid Fine, Boid Foliage

As a profuse blooming variety it is unsurpassed among hybrid teas ; its flowers have
wonderful lasting properties, retaining both their color and shape for several days. Its
color is distinct and unique among roses, and most difficult to describe, being a distinct
salmon-pink — rose and pink, running into each other, the base of petals sufifused saffron-
yellow, and the whole bloom shaded salmon, making a

Flower of Wonderful Brightness and Charm

and a color that never fades until the petals drop. The blooms are of perfect form, large,
full, very long and pointed ; petals large and of great depth and substance. A telling
exhibition flower (after the style and form of Killamey), but quite distinct in color; it
is the most refined and beautiful rose of this type. For florists and cut flower work
generally, on account of the marvelous freedom with which it blooms, and its fascinat-
ing color, it is certain to be in great demand. We recommend this rose with every
confidence to all rose growers.

PRICE 7/6 EACH, OR SIX PLANTS FOR 40/-

Strong plants in pots, which have been in the open air for past two months,
thoroughly ripe, and specially suitable for shipping, now, or in fall. We confidently
ask American nurserymen to give this rose a trial.

Press Opinions of the National Rose Society's Autumn Show at Westminster

A record number of exhibits appeared yesterday at the Royal Horticultural Hall, Westminster, when the National Rose Society opened
Us autumn show. The blooms shown were of every shade of color— white and cream, orange and pale pink, deep carmine. The best rose
of all was the Countess of Gosford, shown by Messrs. M'Gredy & Son, Portadown.— Dally Standard.

New rose that obtained the much-coveted Gold Medal— Countess of Gosford (Samuel M'Gredy &. Son, Portadown), a beautiful flower,
r.ither In the style of Killamey, but deep In tint, and a much better and fuller flower.— Horticultural Advertiser.

Ireland still leads as winner of Gold Medals for new roses. On this occasion Messrs. S. M'Gredy h Son took a Gold Medal for Countess of
Gosford, a lovely rose, a Klllarney, with a yellowish and salmon shading: pervading the flower.— The Gardener Illustrated.

Rose Countess of Gosford (Messrs. S. M'Gredy &, Son, Portadown).— A pretty seedling H. T. of a bright, rich rosy-pink, faintly tinged
toward the base with yellow. The flowers are beautifully pointed; with high center, and nice open guard petals. A rich, fine flower
Awarded Gold Medal —Journal of Horticulture.

Another Gold Medal Rose is Countess of Gosford, which Is shown by Messrs S. M'Gredy & Son, Portadown, Ireland, and this Is reminis-
cent of Klllarney; but the shades of color are distinct salmon-pink, rose and pink running into each other, to make a flower of wonderful
brightness and charm.— Dally Chronicle.

Ireland captured the honor of showing the best rose in ten thousand at the National Rose Society's record show In Westminster today
Rich fragrance was shed upon the surrounding atmosphere from an astonishing army of kaleidoscopic beauty, and anything more delicately
charming than the shading of some of the blooms has never been seen. The ciueen of them ali was adjudged to be one named after the
Countess of Gosford, of which the proud growers were Messrs. Samuel M'Gred.v & Son, Portadown, Ireland.— Dundee Courier.

CONVENTION

'^r»>'Wt^W?V

THE TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL MEETING OF
THE SOQETY OF AMERJCAN FLORISTS

THE NEXT MEETING WILL BE HELD AT PHILADELPmA

OFFICEHS FOR 1907:

President, ViVf. J. STEVART, Boston, Mass.

Vice-President, JOHN VESTCOTT, of PhiUdelpI^a.

Secretary, PHILIP J. HAUSWIETH, Chicago.

Treasurer, H. R BEATTY, Oil Qty, Pa.

Centrally located, as is Dayton, it has
proven a most excellent convention city,
the attendance at the twenty-second an-
nual meeting of the Society of American
Florists this week being as great as any
in its history. There not being the num-
ber of distractions characteristic of
larger places, and particularly of Wash-
ington, the visitors devoted most of their
time to the exhibition and the business
sessions.

Dayton is known far and wide for its
beautiful streets, pleasant homes and
open-handed hospitality. All these things
the S. A. F. visitors appreciated at their
full value. They found the hotel ac-
commodations inadequate, but all not
provided for by the hotels were com-
fortably placed by the committee, which
had a large list of private residences at
its command. The convention was held
at the fair-grounds, something over half
a mile out from town, and the street-
car service, even though Dayton and
southern Ohio have been the scene of
the trolley's development, was lament-
ably poor. Once arrived at the grounds,
however, there was everything required
for the day, provided by the hard-work-
ing members of the Dayton Florists'
Club, to whom a large measure of credit
is due for the accomplishment of a great-
er task than ever before has fallen to
the craft in so small a city, for we don 't
count Asheville, where there was no such
elaborate preparation. Indeed, in Day-
ton the only provision not made by the
club, or the National Cash Begister Co.,
from which a majority of Daytonian
blessings flow, was for good weather. It
was hot and the humidity was great.
Heavy showers were frequent and on
Tuesday the opening session was delayed
nearly two hours by a rainfall which at
first was a miniature cloudburst. , It
precluded the holding of the president's
reception on the Patterson grounds as
intended.

• The trade exhibit was larger and bet-
ter than ever and all of the exhibitors
did a satisfactory business. The two
floors of the big, octagonal building

were well filled, with a showing which
included about evfejrything a florist ever
needs, be he grower or retailer. As is
usually the case, Philadelphia occupied
a majority of the space: but there were
many new exhibitors. The shape of the
building and the use made^y^f the space
by Superintendent Frank wer'fe-naost sat-'
isfactory, for each exhibitor had as good!
a place as any other, which is no small
matter where the trade display is as im-
portant a feature as it now is at S. A. F.
conventions.

The business sessions were held in a
carriage shed! But it had been trans-
formed into one of the finest of meet-
ing places (when it didn't rain) by
curtaining the walls and covering the
ceiling with cheese-cloth, over which wild
smilax and lyrata had been garlanded.
The floor was carpeted with sawdust and
chairs were provided in this breezy bower
for all who could be lured away from the
manifold attractions so handsomely dis-
played by the exhibitors in the big
hall. Adjoining the convention hall
similar arrangements had been made for
housing the restaurant and the popular
caU.

The Opening Session.

The call to order Tuesday, when the
deluge had passed, was with President
W. F. Kasting, Vice-President H. M. Al-
tick, Secretary W. J. Stewart, ex-Presi-
dents Lonsdale, Breitmeyer and Vaughan
and Executive Committeemen W. H. El-
liott, H. V. Hallock, H. H. Bitter, F. H.
Traendly and P. J. Hauswirth on the
platform. Several other ex-presidents
were present, but preferred seats on the
floor of the convention.

Mr. Altick asked indulgence for any
shortcomings in the arrangements or fa-
cilities, although the only criticisms were
on the weather and things outside the
control of the Dayton Florists' Club.
But he knew everybody was pleased, and
this was mere form. He then intro-
duced Judge Charles W. Dale, who wel-
comed the society in place of the mayor,
who was out of the city, doubtless seek-

ing a cooler or drier climate. The judge,
while the rain pattered on the roof, told
of the sunshine and happiness florists
bring to the whole people, for all love
flowers, and said it is with pleasure that
every Daytonian calls attention to the
large influence floriculture has on the
lives of the people of the Gem city, as
they like to hear it called. He paid a
tribute to the civic pride of John M.
Patterson and lauded the welfare work
of the city's pet industry, as do most
of the people, and closed by presenting
to the society its annual bunch of keys,
left in his keeping by the rusticating
mayor.

Judge Dale was warmly applauded,
and when Prof. John F. Cowell, of Buf-
falo, ' was introduced to respond he told
the simple truth when he said the wel-
come was among the most cordial the
society ever has had. He said the trade
had heard much of Dayton and had come
to see and learn, to drink deeply at
the fountain of knowledge and go away
filled with new ideas as to how our mis-
sion to make the earth beautiful may
best be fulfilled.

President Kasting, needing no intro-
duction, was presented with the gavel
and took the chair. After requesting
the free expression of ideas as to fur-
thering the work of the society, he read
his annual address, which was as fol-
lows:

The President's Address.

Twenty-two years ago, I am told,
while "this society, then new-born, was
hol(Mng its first meeting in the city of
Cincinnati, there came an invitation to
visit^-this city and view the horticultural
wctaderd as set forth at the Soldiers'
Hjonae' and other places. Today we
come again, increased an hundred fold,
to see not only the Soldiers' Home but
to see and admire the thousands of plan-
tations in the streets, squares and about
the homes of the people; plantations
that have made the name of Dayton
known the world over and have been an
incentive for other municipalities and
an object lesson in civic cleanliness and
good taste.

Amid such surroundings I trust our
deliberations as a society may be im-
measurably pleasant and profitable, and
that as individuals we may carry away
impressions and ideas that will enable
us to improve our own environment and
add to the beauty and general attrac-
tiveness of the localities which we sev-
erally represent.

Twenty-two years is not a long time
in the history of a nation or even of a
society, but it is time enough, I think,
to prove the solidity of our organization,
and time enough for us to have profited
by our experiences. If there was a need
for an organization of this character
twenty-two years ago, how much greater
is the need today, with the enormous ex-
pansion of our business that has come
in two decades? The wisdom of the
fathers has been amply demonstrated.
We cannot afford, however, to stand still
and rest upon the records of the past —
we must put forth new efforts and keep
pace with the gre&t procession.

The question comes home to us: Are
we making the most of our opportunities
as a society with such broad aims and
splendid possibilities! Would it not be
well to pause in our congratulations and
our commendations and indulge in a sea-
son of introspection and see if we can-
not profit by example and still farther

augment our usefulness. Let us take a
leaf from the history of our host city
and clean up our back yard and put our
front yard in such condition that it may
be an example to all men, to the end that
we may become a greater power for
good in the years that are to come. Let
us take an example, too, from the work
that the National Cash Register Co. has
done, and in our wider dwelling-place
be leaders in improvement and educa-
tion.

Perennial Queitioni.

There are certain questions that seem
to be perennial sources of discussion,
which crop up annually for our consid-
eration. Occasionally one is settled; but
its place is immediately taken, and it
is only by constantly hammering at them
that they are brought into shape and
disposed of.

I purpose briefly to refer to the more
important of these problems, not with
the idea of giving you any fresh argu-
ment, but rather that they may not be
allowed to rest until they are solved.
Among the questions discussed by my
predecessors perhaps none are of more
general importance than those pertain-
ing to education.

We as professors of garden art and
craft will continue to be looked up to as
those having authority to speak, and it
devolves upon us to be prepared, as far
as we may, to lead in all matters relat-
ing to horticultural pursuits. How we
best can reach the people who' are inter-
ested in garden matters, and increase
their love for vernal surroundings, as
well as to implant desire where no desire

exists, arc questions of vital importance
and worthy of our most earnest consid-
eration. Exhibitions as a factor in edu-
cation are of the greatest value. It is
by the eye more than by the ear that
people are instructed. The value of
local displays of plants and flowers,
happily on the increase, has done much
to stimulate a more general love for
flowers and incidentally has increased
the demands for the product of our art.
Probably still more far-reaching on ac-
count of its greater publicity and more
elaborate and comprehensive display
would be an exhibition of national char-
acter, where the entire country would
be represented.

National Flower Show.

This question of a national ^ower show
was again before the executive commit-
tee of the society at its recent meeting
in this city and was discussed at some
length, and I believe no one dissented
from the statement that such a show
would be of the greatest benefit to our
interests. The result of this discussion
will appear in committee report. I trust
that the details of plans for such an ex-
hibition may be perfected in the near
future and that such an exhibition may
be held in one of the great centers of
the country.

Perhaps it is unfortunate in some re-
spects that our interests have been drawn
away, or divided, by the organization of
special societies devoted to the culture
of individual flowers. I mean that in
many cases the interest in the special
has overcome the interest in the general,
and to an extent has weakened the S.

A. F. when it comes to a question of
combination of all interests in one grand
exhibition. Every one with the welfare
of our society at heart must labor for
the closer \inion between those vigor-
ous offsprings and the mother society.

Trade Ezhibitioni.

Trade exhibitions, as they are now
conducted at our annual meetings, are
undoubtedly of great benefit to our mem-
bers. They should be fostered, and the
exhibitors should be encouraged in every
way consistent with the proper disposal
of the business of the convention.

I deem this subject of so much im-
portance that I should recommend that
special time should be given to the ex-
amination of the exhibits. The exhibitors
come to our meeting under a great ex-
pense, they contribute largely to the suc-
cess of our meetings both in interest and
financially, and I believe they should
have more consideration at the hands
of the makers of the program.

We can well afford to call one day
Exhibitors' day. We have made an ex-
periment with outdoor exhibits and,
while the result to date is not satisfac-
tory, yet I believe the idea is good,
and that this outdoor exhibition can be
made an important adjunct. In order to
make an exhibit of this kind a success
time must be taken for proper prepara-
tion. A manager, preferably a local
man, must be appointed, and the ground
should be available a year before the
date of the meeting, or, better still, a
year and a half. It would then be pos-
sible for fall planting or even spring
planting to be done, and plants could
be properly established and prepared.
This would enable our nurserymen to
make an exhibit of trees, shrubs and
such other hardy material as they might
desire to show. A good exhibition of
this character would add greatly to the
interest of our meetings.

The Experiment Statiotu.

The experiment stations are doing
much valuable educational work, and their
publications are far-reaching. Every
member of this society should avail him-
self of his opportunity to obtain the
bulletins of his state stations and use
his best endeavor to see that these sta-
tions are provided with sufficient fund.«i
to carry on their work. Any one who
has been familiar with the work of these
institutions for the last twenty years
cannot have failed to notice the improve-
ment in the quality of work done.

The complaint made by many that not
enough work is done for the benefit of
the florist and gardener is not so just
as it was years ago, and in many in-
stances more work along these lines
would be done if it were called for.
If you don't ask for it, you don't get it.

Horticultural Education.

Horticultural education as provided in
the public schools is perhaps rather dis-
appointing to many. But it must be re-
membered that in the common schools
only the merest rudiments are possible,
and just how much horticultural instruc-
tion is given will depend largely upon
the people of the locality.

Nature study is in many cases really
a primary course in horticulture. Some
of the states are showing considerable
activity along this line, and probably the
great need at the present time is a more
efficient plan of work and better pre-
pared instructors. The way to stimulate
the work is by arousing public senti-
ment in behalf of the value of such

study. Mr. Hallock, who has given this
subject much thought, will discuss the
question at the meeting.

Free Seed Distribution.

Free seed distribution by the federal

fovernment still continues; but the ef-
orts being made will if continaaJ, I
doubt not, effect a discontinuance of the
practice and the "hoary fraud" will
be done away with. Members of this
society should give their representatives
in congress no rest until this practice is
abolished.

Parcel! Post.

A parcels post would be to the great
advantage of most people in the trade
and a great boon to the general public.
The elements opposed to such public con-
venience are well known, and so far
they have had influence enough to pre-
vent the passage of a law establishing
it. The agitation should be vigorously
continued, and every means taken to im-
press our lawmakers with the necessity
for such a method of transportation.
We are behind most civilized countries
in this respect.

The Tariff.
The tariff on many articles which are
of necessity imported or which might be
imported to our great advantage still
continues to vex us. Some of the duties
imposed are indefensible as a whole, and
others should be greatly modified. This
subject has been before us often and
some action has been taken in regard
to it. I recommend the appointment of
a committee whose duty it will be to
lay before the proper authorities our
views on the subject, and urge a re-
vision of the duties whenever possible.

Secretary's Office.

To return to our more immediate con-
cerns, it seems to me that we might
profitably make some improvements in
the conduct of our business affairs. The
secretary's office is one of the most im-
portant, as well as one of the most
permanent, within the society, and some
changes in the manner of business might
be well undertaken. In the first place
the secretary should give bonds, as is
now required of the treasurer. His
books and vouchers should be presented
at the meeting of the executive commit-
tee for auditing in connection with the
accounts of the treasurer, and not be
passed upon in bulk in the hurry of the
annual convention. His accounts as pub-
lished should be itemized, for every mem-
ber has a right to know just how his
money is being spent and to whom it is
paid. He is now the purchasing agent
of the society, and no check is kept upon
his expenditures. I suggest that all bills
be approved by the president before
going to the treasurer for payment.

The secretary should be paid an ade-
quate salary sufficient to remunerate him
for his time and incidental expenses, and
this should cover them all, so that bills
for extra help, etc., would not be pre-
sented to the society.

Amendment to the By-laws.

The amendment to the by-laws, in re-
gard to manner of conducting election,
will come before you at this meeting
and should not fail of action as recom-
mended by the executive committee.

Membership.
Membership in the society should
stand high. I cannot approve of the
suggestion that the dues of certain mem-
bers should be made less than those of
others. While it is desirable to include

in our membership every one engaged
in ornamental gardening, whether he be
on a private estate, in a public position,
or in a wholesale warehouse, an effort
should be made to induce all to join;
yet it should be understood that all come
in on an equal footing, and with equal
responsibilities before the law.

The so-called private gardener of to-
day may be a public gardener tomor-
row; the employee of today may be, and
indeed he probably will be, an employer
tomorrow. Npr should it be forgotten
that many an employee is better able
to pay dues than are some employers.

It seems to me that this society should
keep in closer touch with the local or-
ganization. It should have its accredited
agent at the local flower shows and other
gatherings of the craft. This would, I
believe, tend to add new material to
our membership list and add to the
prestige of our society. In order to do
this it would be necessary to have some
one detailed for the purpose, and prob-
ably the secretary of our society would
be most available for the purpose.

State Vice-presidents.

More care should be taken in the se-
lection of the state vice-presidents. At
the present time one or two men from a
locality get together and place in nomi-
nation the person who suits them best,
which as a rule is equivalent to the ap-
pointment for this office made by the
president. This should be left entirely
to the selection of the president, when he
takes office. If he should not be ac-
quainted sufficiently with a person from
that territory or locality, it would be
then the duty of the president to ascer-
tain from the local society, whether there
be one or few members in the craft,
which is the best man for him to ap-
point. The office should stand for some-
thing and men should be appointed who
will give some time to the interest of
the society.

Business Methodi.

Business methods need more study on
rhe part of many men engaged in trade,
and this is just as true of the flower
trade as of any other. No man can
hope to succeed who does his business
in a loose and slipshod manner. No
matter how small the business, a set of
books should be kept so that the stand-
ing of the business can be found at a
moment's notice.

Fair dealing both in buying and sell-
ing should be the rule, and a man's
word should be a little better than his
bond. Do not abuse your credit and
you will find business very much easier.
It is true in business as well as in other
things that "A good name is better
than riches."

I have alluded elsewhere to the trade
exhibitions, and now I wish to add a
few words in regard to their manage-
ment. I believe that the society should
take entire charge of these exhibits. It
should appoint a manager, pay all ex-
penses and receive any profits that may
arise from such exhibitions. I am well
aware that the custom has been other-
wise, for the reason that the money
realized was needed for the local people
to help on the entertainment. Now this
is all wrong. Is it not time that this
society adopted an attitude of indepen-
dence and dignity f Is it not time that
this society selected its own place of
meeting without putting it up to be
auctioned, off!

Would it not be possible for ua to go
in peace and quiet to some central point
and hold our convention and entertain
ourselves? ^here are many places that
we could visit with profit to ourselves,
where to be entertained by the local
members of our trade would mean ruin
to them. This entertainment has, in my
opinion, grown to be a great evil and
an unjust tax upon the communities vis-
ited. It has reached a point in the emu-
lation of hosts where it behooves us to

stop and consider the cost. Today there
are only a few of the larger cities that
dare invite a convention, because they
cannot make the lavish preparations that
have become customary. A reform in
this direction is needed.

Sports.

Perhaps another reform is needed in
the matter of sports. Do we not give
rather too much valuable time to our
games f It is true that they are enjoy-
able to many, but it hardly seems neces-
sary to travel a thousand miles to play
a game of baseball or shoot a few clay
pigeons. I think we have gone a little
too far and have suffered in the attend-
ance on our meetings because of the
time taken for these contests. I do not
mean to decry the social value of our
meetings, but is there not a better way
of enjoying each other's society and one
less embarrassing to the business of the
convention f

I believe that these contests should
be curtailed and so arranged as not to
interfere with the working of the society
as they do at present. Take a day for
them if necessary, but let that day be
after the business of the meeting is
completed.

Horticultural Prcii.

One factor in the general success of
our business that has received but scant
notice from us is the horticultural press.
While it may be said that these publi-
cations are purely commercial enterprises
and outside of our societies, yet they

contribute a great deal to our success as
a society and contain from time to time
the condensed essence of the brains of
our more prominent members. They are
certainly worthy of our support in every
way and no man in our business can
hope to be posted in the doings of our
craft without the weekly perusal of these
papers, advertisements and all.

In Conckiiion.

A word more and I am finished. It
has occurred to me that many good ideas
are broached after the work of our com-
mittee is done. How easy it would be
for every member of this society having
opinions in regard to the management
of the business of the society to put his
ideas in writing and send the same to
the secretary at any time previous to
the meeting of the executive committee.

In surrendering the oflSce of president
to my successor, I want to thank you for
your loyalty and consideration, which
have made the work a joy, and will leave
with me a most pleasant memory.

The consideration of the address was
made a special order of business for
Wednesday evening, after which Secre-
tary Stewart made some announcements
and read his annual report, which was
as follows:

Secretary't Report.

I find it hard to realize that this is
my nineteenth annual report as secretary.
Twenty years seems a long period to look
forward to, but very short in retrospect.

Some of us who are awakening tp- the
fact that the years count up very rapidly
and that conventions come around with
alarming frequency of late, can, however,
take some comfort from Emerson, who
wrote, "We do not count a man's years
until he has nothing else to count." It
is to be hoped that each and every one
of us may be immune from year-counting
for many a year to come. " To quote
again from the same writer, "Nothing
great was ever achieved without enthus-
iasm." Dayton has been" long on en-
thusiasm for many months, — hence this
truly great convention opening, and as
nothing is more infectious than healthy
enthusiasm, it is not difficult to forecast
what kind of a convention this, which
we are now entering upon, is to be.

You all know that the executive board
met here last spring, that we had a
good time, as executive boards always
do, and that we worked long and hard,
as executive boards also always do. The
program as printed discloses but scantily
the quantity and quality of oratory which
is promised as various important sub-
jects are brought forward, and he who
thinks to stay away from any of the
sessions little realizes what he will miss.

Among the recommendations of the
executive board are: First, the propo-
sition that at all future trade exhibitions,
the net profits therefrom be equally
divided between the national society and
the local organization. As this is a
matter to be adjusted by the executive
board each year, the main reason for
referring to it here is that organizations
planning to invite the society to visit
their city may know before extending
any invitation, and may govern them-
selves accordingly. The outdoor exhibi-
tion, wisely planned, earnestly urged and
generously carried out, so far as the soci-
ety and its Dayton friends are concerned,
has not received the support that should
have been given it by the plant growers
and nursery trade generally. The project
is on right lines, however, and should
have another opportunity next year.

Recognizing the need of some better
method of instruction in horticulture for
young men, a sub-committee was ap-
pointed to confer with agricultural col-
lege ofBcials, and it was voted to recom-
mend to the society the appropriation of
a sum not to exceed $150 toward the
carrying out of some practical plan of
co-operation between the society and the
college.

According to instructions by the soci-
ety, the scheme of numbered badges and
a key book for members has been put
in operation, and the name of every mem-
ber registered up to July 15, 1906, ap-
pears therein. Other important transac-
tions by the executive board are fully
disclosed in the various items of the
official program which you have before
you.

Acting on the complaints of members
living in New Jersey, an effort was made
by your secretary and also by the chair-
man of the legislative committee, to get
from the manager of the U. S. Express
Co, a statement as to the reasons for the
increased transportation charges made
since last May upon flower shipments
from New Jersey points to New York
city, but we were met with a very de-
cided refusal to give any explanation.
A second refluest did not even receive
the courtesy of an answer. Your sec-
retary, in the meantime, had been making
some investigations as to our privileges
under the new Interstate Commerce Act,

and on August 7, 1906, wrote the fol-
lowing letter:

Boston, August 7, 1906.
Mr. T. M. Jones, Mgr.,

U. S. Express Company, j^

30 Broadway, New York, N. Y. «*^

Dear Sir: Referring to my letter of May 11,
1906, which thus far remains unanswered, I beg
to state that In view of the universal sentiment
of protest on the part of flower growers who are
members of our society, and whose Interests are
affected by the advanced rates on flowers
shipped from producers In your territory to the
New York wholesale market, I deem It to be my
duty to submit this matter to the Interstate
Commerce Commission for investigation and ad-
justment, as is my privilege under the provisions
of Section 13 of the amended Interstate Com-
merce Act, unless I receive some assurance from
you that the increased charges complained of
will be given prompt reconsideration by your
company.

It would give me much pleasure to be able
to report to our society at its convention in
Dayton, Ohio, August 21-24, that the United
States Express Co. had taken this question un-
der advisement, and I hope to be able to an-
nounce a rate which would be generally accepted
as just and reasonable.

Yours respectfully,
(Signed) WM. J. STEWART,

Secretary.

This letter shared the same fate as its
predecessor, no acknowledgment having
thus far been received. I believe we
have a good case- I know that the Inter-
state Commerce Commission will give us
a prompt and courteous hearing, and
hope we shall be able to arrange for the
appearance of our legislative committee
with necessary witnesses before that body
at an early date.

Eegarding the domestic-grown narcis-
sus bulbs exhibited by a Virginia grower
last year, which were submitted to J.
F. Sullivan for testing, that gentleman
reports that he gave them identically the
same treatment that was given the for-
eign-grown bulbs of the same varieties,
and found the flowering qualities to be
of substantially the same good value.

Other membership statistics are as fol-
lows :

Whole number of members, as per
printed report for 1905, was 889, of
whom 114 were life members. This in-
cludied four life members and 173 an-
nual members who had been added or
reinstated during the year. The acquisi-
tions are credited as follows: Alabama,
Colorado, Iowa, Louisiana, New Hamp-
shire, Rhode Island, one each ; California,
Missouri, North Carolina, Virginia, On-
tario, Manitoba, two each; Indiana, Wis-
consin, three each; Connecticut, Georgia,
Kentucky, four each; New Jersey, eight;
Illinois, ten; Maryland, Michigan, twelve
each; iJistrict of Columbia, Ohio, thir-
teen each; Massachusetts, eighteen; New
York, twenty -six; Pennsylvania, twenty-
ninei

The number of lapses during the year,
of members who had paid dues for the
previous year but either resigned or
failed to respond in 1905, was 111. These
ueunquencies are chargeable to the vari-
ous states as follows: California, Ken-
tucky, Marylanu, ivfa.ne, Khode Island,
Texas, Ontario, one each; Colorado,
Georgia, Kansas, Oklahoma, South Caro-
lina,! Tennessee, two each; Connecticut,
Iowa, Minnesota, New Jersey, three each •
Indiana, four; A^v,uigan, five; Wiscon-
sin, seven; Ohio, eight; Pennsylvania,
nine; New York, twelve; Missouri, thir-
teen; Illinois, twenty-two. The list of
names of delinquents in each State was
sent from the secretary's office to its

respective vice-president. A few of the
vice-presidents reported; from the major-
ity no response was received.

It is, I think, generally known among
the members that I have decided not to
be a candidate for re-election to this
office, which with rare and generous con-
fidence you have placed in my keeping
for so many years. Since that day nine-
teen years ago in Chicago, when I had
.the privilege of thanking you for the
honor you had conferred in unanimously
selecting me as the successor in office
of such men as E. G. Hill and Edwin
Lonsdale, many changes have come about.
Many loyal workers for the society, whose
friendships were so dear to us, have been
called away never to return. In medi-
tating on the changed conditions and
tremendous horticultural growth of this
epoch in the society's history, I feel
that while the ambitions and aims of
the pioneers have in some respects fallen
short of realization, yet as societies go,
this society has done well. The balance
in the treasury as reported at the Chi-
cago convention nineteen years ago was
$32.35. With this, our treasurer's re-
port, which you are about to listen to,
will compare favorably.

Our membership, however, is not what
it should be. Every one identified with
any department of horticulture is a
sharer in the general benefits which the
existence and the direct work of the
society has made possible, and it is
much to be regretted that thus far no
effective means has been found of bring-
ing the great mass of those engaged in
those pursuits to do their share toward
the support of the institution which has
done so much for them, and might do so
much more if it could only have the
necessary backing.

In seeking to be relieved from the

responsibilities of the secretaryship, 1
can assure you that my interest in the
society: 8 welfare wih continue unabated,
and 1 shall be ready at all times in the
ranks to do whatever lies in my power
for the grand old society whose bur-
dens and whose joys have been so pecu-
liarly my own for so many years.

At the completion of the report,
B. Hammond moved the adoption of
resolutions expressive of the society's
appreciation of the secretary's long and
faithful service, and voicing the regret
at his decision to let a younger man
take hold. The report of the treasurer
was then read. A summary follows:

Treasurer's Report.

dar year 1905 is as follows:

Other Reports.

The state vice-presidents' reports were
ordered printed and the reading dis-
pensed with.

The peony committee reported that it
had nothing to report.

Alexander Wallace, for the committee
to co-operate with the National Council
of Horticulture, made a full report,
placing in the society "b records an ac-
count of the council's work reported
from time to time in the Review, and
well known to all the trade. The com-
mittee recommended that the council's
publicity work be encouraged, and sug-
gested an appropriation, the Seed Trade
Association having given $200 for this
purpose. Philip Breitmeyer said it is
the duty of all florists to help this pub-
licity work along, and J. C. Vaughan
said credit for the idea of raising funds
for this public purpose should be given
Mr. Breitmeyer, with whom it origi-
nated, the results from a ten weeks'
trial of the welfare work being out of
all proportion to cost and far beyond
expectations. J. G. Esler moved an ap-
propriation of $200, which was carried.
The president was authorized to appoint
two delegates to the council.

A call was read in which the National
Council of Horticulture asked co-opera-
tion in a national congress of horticul-
ture at Jamestown, Va., August 19 to
24, 1907. It was referred to the execu-
tive committee.

A communication was read in which
the Detroit Florists' Club asked the
S. A. F. to undertake the task of finding
a remedy for stem-rot in asters. On mo-
tion of E. A. Scribner, consideration of
the matter was postponed until time
should be less pressing. The same ac-
tion was taken with a letter from H.
Beaulieu regarding free seeds and a
parcels post.

Judges Appointed.

President Kasting announced the ap-
pointment of the following judges:

On novelties in the trade exhibit;
Wm. Scott, Buffalo; H. Papworth, New

the parts of his irrigating apparatus.

. jOn.a wall the work of the landscape
architects was displayed, covering sev-

;eral hundred square feet. It was a new
idea, and an excellent one, but many of
the exhibits were -"skied" — placed too
high to be studied. Those who were
represented by plans and sketches, or by
photographs of finished work, were:
Olmsted Bros., Brookline, Mass.; Gor-
don H. Taylor, New. York; J. E. Freu-
denberger and C. E. Gerber, Dayton; the
National Cash Register Co., Carl Ander-
son, Paul Schiebe and others.

A couple of dozen other firms were

represented by signs on the railing of
the second floor, or by banners suspended
from the roof.

Outdoor Trade Display.

The outdoor trade display was not ex-
tensive, but, supplemented by the plant-
ings of the cash register concern and
by surplus stock contributed by the
Dayton florists, it added much to the
appearance of the grounds, and is a
start in a direction in which there is
prospect of interesting development.
One of the most attractive beds was
Canna "West Virginia, shown by Gus
Obermeyer, Parkersburg, "W. Va. H. A.
Dreer, Philadelphia, had a display of
considerable size, including cannas, pe-
tunias. Inimitable ageratum, and a fine
pennisetum labeled Macrophylium atro-
sanguineum. Nathan Smith & Son,
Adrian, Mich., had several varieties of
cannas, including their Express and a
tall-growing one named Musafolia. They
also showed several beds of geraniums
and some good salvias. Vaughan's Seed
Store, Chicago, had some good beds of
cannas. King Humbert showing particu-
larly well; also a bed of Baby Rambler
rose. Kramer Bros., Dayton, had lawn
vases planted with a variety of stock.
A line of C. "W. Skinner's irrigating sys-
tem was of interest to the growers, many
of whom are putting in facilities for
watering stock in the fields.

A large display of cannas from the
Southern Floral Nursery Co., Fruitdale,
Ala., planted in the Dayton parks, was
inspected by many.

American Carnation Society.

After the "Wednesday evening adjourn-
ment there was a meeting of the Ameri-
can Carnation Society at the Algonquin
hotel. President John H. Dunlop pre-
sided. Secretary Herr outlined the si)e-
cial needs of the society and made a
report on its recent activities. Treasurer
F. E. Dorner gave a brief statement of
the finances. The principal discussion
was as to the approaching Toronto meet-
ing. The premium list was put into
shape and shortly will be issued. Sub-
jects for papers were discussed and a
program for the convention outlined.

Wednesday Morning.

It still was hot when the hour for
opening arrived, but there was an excel-
lent attendance, one of the results of
meeting in a town not filled with dis-
tractions. There was a keen interest
in the work in hand.

F. E. Pierson sent a report on the
status of the work of the joint commit-
tee of the florists, nurserymen and seeds-
men on behalf of reform of postal rates
and railroad abuses. "Unanimous consent
was given J. L. Cowles, secretary of the
Postal Progress League, to address the
convention. He made a red-hot speech
on the shortcomings of the present serv-
ice, comparing the United States parcels
provisions with those of other countries,
explaining what is asked in the bill pre-
sented to the last Congress. B. Ham-
mond spoke on the same lines and "Wm.
Scott offered a resolution endorsing the
bill in Congress providing for the con-
solidation of the third and fourth classes
of postal matter at the lower rate.

The selection of the place of meeting
for 1907 being in order, invitations were
read from several commercial and pub-
licity bodies, after which Wm. Scott
asked consent for Mayor O. "W. Cutler to
address the society on behalf of Niagara
Falls. He offered a cordial invitation

which was seconded by P. J. Foley of
Chicago. Robert Craig extended the in-
vitation of the Florists' Club of Phila-
delphia, to which there were several sec-
onds. H. C. Irish asked consideration
for the invitation to Norfolk, Va, Presi-
dent Kasting appointed P. J. Foley, Leo
Niessen and H. Papworth as tellers, who
received the ballots and announced the
result as follows:

Philadelphia, 131.

Niagara Falls, 101.

Nominations of otucers being in order.
Col. W. W. Castle, of Boston, a quite
recent addition to the society's list of
silver-tongued orators, named "W. J.
Stewart for president; E. G. Qillett sec-
onded. There was no other nomination.

For vice-president, E. G. Hill nominat-
ed Leo Niessen and Mr^Gwde-^iominated
John Westcott, whojrfturn noidinated
Samuel SeIlerSvJEfiJ»tfock.

For secretary, Wm, Scott nominated
H. M. Altick, of Dayton. W. F. Gude
nominated P. J. Hauswirth, of Chicago.
There were several seconds.

For treasurer there was only one nom-
ination, H. B. Beatty, of Pittsburg,
named by W. W. Coles.

On motion of Wm. Scott, a telegram
of sympathy was sent P. O'Mara, whose
presence was prevented by the death of
his brother.

It was stated that the essays submit-
ted for the Kasting prizes had been lost
in the mails, so the floor was given to
E. V. Hallock for the report of the com-
mittee on school gardening, which proved
highly interesting. Wm. Scott, F. E.
Palmer, W. F. Gude, Benj. Hammond
and others narrated local conditions and
work in their home towns, and E. G.
Hill spoke urgently of the possibilities
of utilizing the gardening spirit, now
awakened throughout the land, to the ad-
vancement of our trade interests. The
committee — Hallock, Wallace and Ham-
mond— was continued and Mr. Palmer
and Prof. Cowell added to it.

The constitution and by-laws "were
amended to define a course of procedure
in case, as occurred at Washington last
year, no candidate had the required
majority of all votes cast on the first
ballot.

The adjournment for lunch was not
until 2 p. m., so active had been the dis-
cussion. It was just in time to escape
interruption by the daily rain.

During this session President Kasting
proved himself to be one of the best pre-
siding officers the society has ever had.
There were many interruptions and sev-
eral times recourse was had to parlia-
mentary law, but throughout the presi-
dent was in full control and his clear-cut
decisions did much to expedite business.
The sentiment was that the president
was distinctly all right.

Wednesday Evening Session.

The presentation of the excellent pa-
per by F. E. Palmer on The Ideal Gar-
tlener, was followed by the discussion of
the president's address, with Robert
Craig in the chair. Two hours were de-
voted to the recommendation as to a
committee on tariff. Hallock, Hammond,
Hill, Castle, Lenker, Scott, Elliott, Vin-
cent and many others denounced the pres-
ent duties affecting our trade, especially
the one on glass. The matter was re-
ferred to the committee on mutual in-
terests with the seedsmen and nursery-
men with instructions to seek to secure
a reduction on window glass.

The executive committee was instruct-
ed to put in operation the recommenda-

tion with regard to the conduct of the
secretary's office. It was recommended
to the executive committee that $200 be
placed at the disposal of the secretary
for traveling expenses in proselyting for
new members, with instructions to re-
port next year as to the results.

The President's Reception. ■

The reception, which was to have been
held at Far Hills, the private estate of
John H. Patterson, was, on account of
the rain, held in Welfare hall, at the
factory of the National Cash Register
Co. The great hall was filled with ta-
bles, at which all were comfortably seat-
ed at 6 p. m., and an excellent lunch
was served to about a thousand members
and their friends, while a fine selection
of popular music was rendered by a band
composed of employees of the company.
A cable message was sent to Afr. Pat-
terson, who is in Europe, thanking him
for his great entertainment.

After all had been fed President and
Mrs. Kasting, Secretary Stewart, Treas-
urer and Mrs. Beatty, Vice-President and
Mrs. Altick and Mr. and Mrs. Hauswirth
occupied the stage and received those
present, giving each a cordial handshake.
The hall was then darkened and the
compary Avas treated to a magnificent
lot of stereopticou views,- illustrating the
landscape gardening of the world, as
well as the wonderful work that has been
done in beautifying the humble homes
of iiundreds of employees of the N. C. R.
Co. This included some remarkable dis-
solving views in which faces gradually
appeared in flowers and one kind of
flower would fade into another. All
these views showed flowers and foliage in
their natural colors. The program con-

eluded with an amusing lot of moving
pictures. It was a most enjoyable even-
ing and worth a long journey to partici-
pate in. • ;• ' • .; - '

H. M. Altick.
(Chairman Committee on Sports.)

Harrison Co., for Nephrolepis Leedsii;
Wm, Sim, for Comet tomato; Livingston
Seed Co., for improved Begonia semper-
florens.

Mention was also made of Carl Hagen-
burger's fern; H. K. Carlton's violet,
Gov. Herrick; and Frank Huntsman's
aspidistras. It was pointed out that
some of these awards were for exhibits
which had received recognition at pre-
vious conventions, and these will be omit-
ted from the official record.

The judges on landscape designs re-
ported that the terms of the competition
are too loosely defined to permit of com-
parative awards; but recommend that
the practice be continued at subsequent
conventions and stated that on the show-
ing made separate entries entitled
Messrs. Scbiebe and Taylor to first
awards, Schiebe and Freudenberger to
second awards, and Olmsted Bros, and
Freudenberger to third awards.

On Thursday the judges nmde the fol-
lowing additions to thd exhibits highly
commended: Wertheimer Bros., Ameri-
can Beauty ribbons, violet ties and lace
chiffon ; S. S. Pennock, pearl-beaded pins
and autumo foliage ribbons; E. A.
Beaven, fadeless sheet moss; Dayton
Supply Co., sprayers; Stern & Co., nat-
ural prepared Christmas trees, prepared
magnolia and adiantum foliage ; M. Sice
& Co., novelty adjustable baskets and
novel birch-bark ware; H. Bayersdorfer
& Co., imported toneware.

Tlie Election.

Thursday's interest centered in the
election, although a large audience, con-
sidering the intense heat, listened to the

splendid papers by Irving Bertermann
and William F. Gude, discussing the re-
tailing of put flowers. These were pre-
sented while J. G. Esler, J. F. Sullivan,
Fred Meinhardt and E. G. Gillett were
counting the ballots, as follows: For
president, W. J. Stewart, 245; J. A. Val-
entine, 1. For vice-president, S. S. Pen-
nock, 70; Leo Niessen, 42; John West-
cott, 129. For secretary, P. J. Haus-
wirth, 181 ; H. M. Altick, 62. For treas-
urer, H. B. Beatty, 246.

A communication from E. Albertson
asking membership accessions for the
American Association of Nurserymen was
referred to the executive committee.
President Kasting announced the serious
illness of J. V. Laver, of. Erie, Pa., at
a hotel. The question box brought up
the point as to whether or ' not there is
a distinction recognized in exhibition
schedujes by the terms ,stove plant and
greenhouse plant. A brisk exchange of
opinion ensued, with the consensus that
the matter is one for careful local defi-
nition in premium lists. A question as
to the policy of recognizing long lists of
new cannas of no special merit Jjrought
out a general discussion of the methods
of registration of plant names by the
society and a characterization of their
inadequacy. A motion prevailed instruct-
ing the appointment of a canna com-
mittee to confer with the executive
board and make recommendations for a
change in by-laws providing for regis-
tration.

A discussion of a change of date of
meeting was put over to the evening ses-
sion, when the National Flower Show

was a special order. On motion of F. H.
Traendly, W. F. Kasting was named as
one of the delegates to the National
Council of Horticulture. The president
named Eobert Craig as the other dele-
gate. Walter S. Powell, of Boston, pre-
sented a paper descriptive of the bureau
of credit of the Wholesale Seedsmen's
League and outlining the terms on which
the S. A. F. can be admitted to partici-
pation in the benefits. Referred to the
executive committee for action.

Hetroit's call for help on aster stem-
rot was referred to the society's patholo-
gist and the department of agriculture.

Thursday afternoon was given over to
the exhibitors, the ladies being taken to
the theater. The illumination at Far
Hills followed the evening session. Fri-
day is to be Dayton day, with trips to
the cash register works and the Soldiers'
Home.

The Bcwlinjf,

The bowling contests were held on
alleys far outside the city. The team
tournament was held at Fairview park,
two miles north of town, and the indi-
vidual contest was out toward the Sol-
diers' Home and slimly attended. Seven
teams were entered, but few rooters
went out to the alleys, and the contest
was the quietest in the history of our
convention pastimes. Following are the

HAIL ASSOQATION.

The Florists ' Hail Association held
its annual meeting at Dayton, O., on
Wednesday, August 22. The report of
Secretary John G. Esler showed a total
insurance in force equal to protection for
25,056,546 square feet of glass. The
treasurer 's report showed receipts for
the year, $18,744.50 ; expenses, $2,559.65 ;
sixty-eight losses paid, $4,612.51 ; re-
serve fund, $16,109.92; emergency fund,
$12,440.57. The association has now
paid 1,019 losses, amounting to $101,000.

The following directors were elected:
Elmer D. Smith, Jos. Heacock, F. E.
Dorner. The directors elected officers,
as follows: President, E. G. Hill;
vice-president, H. H. Bitter; secretary,
John G. Esler; treasurer, A. M. Herr.
The investment of the reserve fund was
left to the oflScers, as a finance commit-
tee. A resolution was adopted impos-
ing a ten per cent advance on risks on
which three losses have been paid in five
years. If Secretary Esler lives to June 1
he will have served the society for
twenty years.

date establishment in the city.

RETAILING CUT FLOWEBS.

BY W. V. aUDE, WASHINGTON, D. C.

[Read before the Society of American Flo-
rists, at Dayton, O., August 22, 1906.]

Being requested to read a paper and
lead a discussion on "Recent Improve-
ments in Retailers' Methods of Offering
Flowers for Sale," I do so reluctantly.
Personally, I should much prefer the dis-
cussion to reading a paper. However, I
know no better way to open this subject
than to give you my own personal experi-
ence of the last twenty years in the re-
tail florist 's business at the national cap-
ital, where we think we have some up-to-
date flower stores.

An Agie of Progress.

There is probably no business or pro-
fession that has seen a greater change
in the last decade than the retail flo-
rist's, or has made greater strides. I
am sure that no class of men have
worked harder or longer hours than the
florists.

Right here I want to say we too often
hear the cry, ' ' Things are not as they
used to be." This expression is too
commonly used by a great many people
engaged in the retail florist's business.
* ' Things are not as they used to be, ' '
is not true in the sense it is given, while
I do not doubt it is absolutely a fact
in a great many cases, among the men
who make that remark, because they
have the same old fogy methods and
manner of doing business used years
ago. The wide-awake florist, with the
proper push, has gone ahead and adopted
new and modern methods, with the in-
evitable result that he makes more money
with less work. The old-timer has been
left with his old-fashioned ideas, little
or no progress, long hours and small
pay, while the progressive man has rea-

son to thank the powers that be that
things are not as they used to be.

Old Methods versus New.

Sending flowers in old shoe boxes and
hat boxes, delivering funeral designs in
a farm wagon, taking a man in his
greenhouse togs to a fashionable home
to carry plants and decorate, tying
bunches with narrow, cheap ribbon, cut
swallow-tailed, sending bridal bouquets
wrapped in paper, telling a patron the
flowers he wants are out-of-date because
they ar^ not in stock — these methods
have passed away.

I have been in flower shops whet a
customer would leave an order for a
wedding, birthday, or funeral, and ex-
plicitly state the time he wanted the
flowers delivered, and in many cases, to
my personal knowledge, the flowers were
sent after the occasion was over, so that
the sentimental effect was entirely lost,
the occasion to use the flowers forever
gone. The result invariably is that the
next time the customer in question wants
to buy flowers he tries some place where
he has reason to expect that his pur-
chase will be delivered when and where
he wants it, and in up-to-date condition.

"Again, the old-fashioned way of deliv-
ering flowers, wrapped in any old piece
of paper and delivered by some ragged,
dirty messenger, is not conducive to
bringing the retail florist's business up
to the plane of the modem, up-to-date
requirements which it so juBtly deserves.
The method of tying flowers ''Ifei tooth-
picks with wires without any foliage,
which was so popular years ago, has
been almost* entirely eliminated, and a
more natural system is nowjiemanded by
the average buying community. So much
for the old methods.

The present up-to-date method fol-

lowed by us is to have the flowers re-
ceived fresh every morning, tjien prop-
erly assorted and arranged in large stor-
age rooms, Avhere mirrors on all sides
show them off to the best advantage.

One of the most important items is
booking orders. In a great many es-
tablishments the old way of taking or-
ders for any kind of flowers for com-
mencements and debutantes' receptions,
etc., knowing it is a question wnetber
they can be secured, then substituting an-
other kind at the last minute, is an
expensive one. What a great disappoint-
ment to a mother, thinking she has a
pleasant surprise for her daughter at the
graduating exercises, or some other func-
tion, ordering a bunch of pink roses, and
then receiving red carnations instead!
Her patronage^ is lost; she has no more
confidence in that establishment.

Employees.

We have an ,up-to-date corps of clerks
and employees |^ho are able, capable and
willing to wait on customers intelligently,
and do not try to sell them a pink rose
for a white one, or calla lilies for lilies
of the valley. They do not work any
more like they used to. They used to
get up at 5 0 'clock in the morning and
work until 10 or 11 o'clock at night for
a very small compensation. It is fortu-
nate that things are not as they used to
be in this case. Employees in a retail
florist's store should come in for full
consideration and just treatment, because
it is impossible for any one man to wait
on every customer that comes to inquire
about flowers. There are naturally in
the retail florist's trade, as in all other
kinds of business, people with all sorts

of ideas, in many cases hard to please.
All of these should be studied and their
peculiar fancies catered to, as much as
possible, if they are willing to pay the
price, because a satisfied customer is the
best possible advertisement that any one
can have. Right here, the employee who
goes to extra trouble to cater to the
whims of this particular class of cus-
tomers, and does not run or hide when
he or she comes in, is entitled to a great
deal of consideration which he often does
not receive. I have found invariably
that by studying the clerks' interests,
they are in much better position to study
the employer's interests, for it is only
too true that florists work longer hours
for less money than almost any other
class of working men, requiring an equal
amount of intelligence. The clerks and
employees in a retail florist's store can
do much toward increasing or decreasing
the sales and profits by strict attention
or inattention to details in the business.
It has always been our aim to keep the
employees satisfied, and where we succeed
in doing that, they invariably succeed in
satisfying us.

Puttioe Up Orders.

This, in our estimation, is one of the
most important items connected with the
retail florist 's business. As time cuts
quite a figure in this part of the busi-
ness, if the flowers are put up too early
they will be apt to wither, and if too
late they cannot be delivered in time;
hence, this branch of the business re-
quires constant care and exercise of
judgment, in order that the flowers may
reach the parties interested in the best
possible condition. Another very impor-

tant item is to send the customers ex-
actly the quality and quautity promised
for a given amount of money, and not
try to slight them with the thought or
idea that they will never know the dif-
ference. This might do once in a while,
but one is bound to be caught in the
act some time, and with a very ugly re-
flection on the integrity of the house.
Here it may be well to state that the
poUteness and intelligence of the driver
or messenger who may happen to deliver
the flowers will either reflect credit or
discredit upon the establishment.

Window Dismay.

The old methods of trying to show the
public how many plants a florist could
put in a window was buried with the
paper collar for bouquets. The window
bottom of sand, gravel and zinc has
given place to tile and mirror effects.
A florist's window is the same now as
that of the other up-to-date merchant
who displays his finest goods to tempt
the public to buy. A customer can
form a pretty good idea of the florist's
ability to create and execute artistic ef-
fects by' his window display. For in-
stance, when we have a surplus of any
particular kind of flower, a window taste-
fully arranged with vases, baskets, etc.,
of this same flower has time and again
been the means of cleaning up the entire
surplus at a good profit.

A window display on January 29,
President McKinley's birthday, with, a
portrait of him, a few American flags
and a nice assortment of carnations
tastefully arranged, will demonstrate
what a window decoration can do. I
should advise you to try it January 29
next.

Use of Accessories.

The use of ribbons in .the retail flo-
rist 's business has grown faster than the
business itself, because with the present
methods ribbons can be used to great
advantage on nearly all arrangements of
flowers, and when properly used are a
great acquisition to any up-to-date floral
arrangement.

In our city in particular there is a
large demand for bunches of flowers at
all seasons of the year, to be sent to the
various oflSces or departments of the
local, municipal and United States gov-
ernments. In these cases it is often nec-
essary to have a suitable vase or jardi-
niere to offer, to go with the bunch of
flowers, that they may be delivered in
good presentable condition, and their
lasting qualities preserved by the stems
being kept in water while in the office
of the recipient.

In conclusion, to manage and run an
up-to-date flower store:

First, it is necessary to be conserva-
tive in buying. When I say buying, I
mean not only cut flower stock, but
plants, ribbons, jardinieres, florists'
supplies of all kinds, and especially
boxes and paper to suit all sizes of
bunches and qualities of flowers. This
is very important.

Second; having the necessary recepta-
cles and supplies to go with the flowers,
be sure to have good, fresh stock at
all times to show your customers, and
give them what you claim to sell.

Third; after the first two points are
looked after, be sure to deliver the flow-
ers as promised, on time, when prom-
ised, and in good condition.

IDEAL PKIVATE GARDENERS.

BY F. B. PALMER, OP BBOOKLINE, MASS.

[Read before the Society of American Florists,
In convention at Dayton, O., August 23 (todav),
1906.]

The title of this essay, "The Ideal
Private Gardener and His Work," was
selected by the executive committee of
the Society of American Florists and as-
signed to the Boston Gardeners' and
Florists ' Club as a fitting subject for its
contribution to the literature of this
convention. This was perfectly natural,
for when questions of a philosophical na-
ture are to be discussed, where else would
one turn but to the "AtlMfts of Amer-
ica," the erudite city of the old Bay
State? It may be taken for granted,
also, that the Gardeners' and Florists'
Club of Boston, with its young and virile
membership of 325 (this includes ladies),
is perfectly able to handle any question
that may be presented to it; but when
it comes to the individual to whom this
essay is assigned, every thoughtful per-
son will agree that, while being greatly
honored, he is nevertheless confrqnted
with a duty both difficult and onerous.

In the first place, an ideal which
would be common to a number of men
is difficult of conception — in fact, impos-
sible. Ideals are essentially individual,
and are more characteristic of the man,
even, than his physical features. They
change with him from day to day, as he
grows in wisdom, always tantalizingly
ahead like the desert mirage, yet always
incentive to better work and nobler
aims. With these thoughts in one's
mind it is hard to get down to earth,
where even the ideal gardener belongs.

Old-time Gardeners.

Before attempting to draw the picture
of a present day ideal private gardener,
it will be interesting and perhaps help-
ful to cast a retrospective glance at
types of other days and their environ-
ment. They are not so far removed as
to be unfamiliar to most of us — indeed,
many honored examples are with us yet;
and as the procession of bygone forms
and faces is conjured up, we bow our
heads in reverence. Many of them were
splendid exponents of the true garden-
ing spirit, were faithful servants, staunch
friends of the young gardeners who
were committed to their charge, though
sometimes severe withal. They bring
down to modern times, perhaps more
than any other retainer, the spirit of
those feudal days, in which the extensive
private garden had its birth and early
nourishment.

Chances for Head Gardenerships.

Under old-world conditions to this
day the number of private gardens of
any size is a fixed quantity; new cre-
ations are few and far between, and are
largely offset by the decay and aban-
donment of old establishments; so, con-
sequently, the market for head garden-
ers has always been a dull one. A satis-
factory and satisfied incumbent held his
position often for life. Not much was
required of him in the way of technical
or scientific knowledge — in fact, too
much of that sort of thing would have
spoiled him. He was essentially a re-
tainer, although by common consent
ranking considerably above the domes-
ticij, conser\-ative to a degree, which is
always characteristic of those who lack
ambition because of the absence of op-
portunity, that baneful blight of the
old world, supremely happy if a mo<iest
pension awaited him, or fortunate if able

to end his days as the proprietor of a
small grocery or public house.

One easily can realize that under the
above conditions there must have been
constantly in existence a small Urmy of
rejected ones among the body of journey-
men gardeners. Head positions not al-
ways being awarded with regard to
merit, the under-gardeners had little in-
centive to acquire an education above
the common, the chances being that they
would end their days in the ranks with
the laborer. These things may explain
the anomalous condition that has un-
doubtedly existed up to the present time
and still exists, viz., that of a large
number of intelligent men, engaged in
a pursuit so near to nature, so lofty as
to transcend almost all others, and, if
inclnding agriculture, which it naturally
does, so important in the world of eco-
nomics as to comprehend all the neces-
sary things of life within its scope, and
yet who are so poorly equipped with
technical and scientific education as to
render them, as a class, marked in this
respect.

It finds its most harmful expression
in a conservatism which is positively
suicidal in this new day and country.
Failing to recognize the opportunity
that is now before them of lifting
themselves and their craft from the
realm of drudgery and servitude into
that of science and art, where it prop-
erly belongs, cherishing the ideal of
"My lord" and "My lady," who never
interfered, the long hours of labor with
small pay, the willing helpers who kept
going fourteen hours per day if ordered
to do so, no horse power — horses had to
go to rest early — no hose, no anything,
in fact, that savored of innovation and

that required new study: those were in-
deed good old days.

'■■'' Modern Conditions.

Let us turn, however, to the condi-
tions which confront us in this marvel-
ous age and country. The ordinary slow
processes of evolution and national
growth have been entirely ignored. De-
velopment along economic, social and
art lines has been so rapid as to defy
the average observer and student to
trace it. The nation, from a condition
of extreme crudity and devouring en-
ergy which might aptly be compared to
the caterpillar stage, has suddenly
emerged into a state of refinement and
keen appreciation of beauty and fert that
is as startling and interesting ^to con-
template as the bursting forth of the
perfect butterfly. Let us hope that this
simile may not obtain in its ephemeral
sense, however.

During this period of strenuous com-
mercial activity the earth has been made
to yield her treasures most bountifully.
Nothing in the world 's history com-
pares with the development of the natu-
ral resoui^es of this country during the
last fifty years. The struggle has been
terrific, and the confusion even as that
of the mighty rapids and whirlpool of
Niagara. Out of this maelstrom and
into the quiet waters of work well done,
victory achieved and fortunes made, have
drifted thousands of men who are now
seeking rest, recreation and happiness,
the end to which all previous effort has
been but the means. Back to nature is
the word, a^d to the soil which gave
them their material wealth, they again
look for those more subtle elements that
satisfy the soul. These are the men who

have built themselves gardens > and who
are looking for partners, rather than for
hired help, to enable them to accomplish
this end. It is perfectly fitting and
proper to consider the ideal gardener in
the former relationship rather than the
latter, and no intelligent proprietor will
demur to the spirit of such association.

The Man and His Needed Traits.

What kind of a personality will he
have who will fill the measure of this
desire for happiness, and at the same
time seize the opportunity to exalt the
status of his beloved profession and
raise himself to the high social, economic
and educational plane to which he natu-
rally and properly belongs? Let us con-
sider the last part of this theme first,
and discover what duties will be re-
quired of him, or, in other words, what
is his work, and afterwards try to fit
the man to it.

The common idea among young gar-
deners who are ready and feel qualified
to take charge of important places is
that the measure of these duties should
be included within the following limits:
To be able to grow the regular run of
greenhouse stock successfully, including
orchids, so that when exhibition times
come around they may gather in some
prizes and nail the cards up in the pot-
ting-shed, to the great glory of the
house, and to their own emolument. In-
cidentally, they expect to supply the
house with flowers in limited quantities
of their own selection, and to grow fruit
under glass. They consider the kitchen
garden to be part of their sphere, al-
though as a rule they have had very
little experience in that department ;
also the pleasure grounds, with which
they have had still less. At first sight
it does seem that the list includes about
all that should be required of the aver-
age gardener, and if he were a master in
every branch mentioned he would cer-
tainly be pretty well equipped as a
workman.

A ^ide Ran£e of Duties.

The duties of the ideal gardener, how-
ever, cover a much wider range. He has
formed a partnership with the propri-
etor, the object of which is to produce
a certain indefinable, intangible thing
called happiness; primarily, the happi-
ness of the latter and also that of his

own, as a natural corollary. With this
in view, he will seek to discover the bent
of his employer and, having found it, to
guide it into practical channels. His
common sense will often come into con-
flict with whimsical desires, but with
plenty of tact and a desire to serve, this
will not be a serious source of trouble.
He will be required to plan and lay out
an entirely new place, erect greenhouses,
put in water supply, survey and grade
land, build drives, handle large bodies
of men intelligently, study up-to-date
methods and apjpliances, such as labor-
saving machinery, insecticides and fer-
tilizers; scoffing at nothing because of
its strangeness, but testing desirable
things intelligently with a view to con-
ducting the place with economy and
facility. One of his most delicate du-
ties will be to preserve peace and har-
mony among his fellow employees, listen-
ing to the complaints of his subordinates
with a judicial and kindly ear, and
pleading their cause with their employer.
To the younger gardeners under his
charge he owes a peculiar and sacred
duty. Having trodden the path before
them, he is in a position to know their
desires and ambitions, and shoulQ use
every effort for their upbuilding into
iaeal men and gardeners. Short hours
of labor, liberal wages, libraries, oppor-
tunities to attend lectures and exhibi-
tions, encouragement to form or join
clubs, and above all, a kindly personal
interest in their welfare, easily lie with-
in his power to promote.

His Personality.

In providing the various garden prod-
ucts, he should study the trend of fash-
ionable taste, and try to forestall the
demand in this respect, it being always
extremely pleasing to the proprietor to
find himself the possessor of the newest
things in flowers, fruits and vegetables.
On the other hand, it is bad taste on the
gardener's part to persistently attempt
to force his own particular hobby on an
unwilling employer; this is undoubt-
edly a rock on which many a good man
goes to pieces. It is the duty, and
should be the pleasure, of the gardener
to treat friends of the proprietor with
courtesy and respect; this admonition is
particularly applicable in cases when
married children, or other relatives, lo-
cate permanently on the home estate,

and whose presence there is often con-
sidered by the gardener as an intrusion.
Generally this involves merely the pro-
duction of more garden stuff of every
kind, which means more labor, a matter
which the iaeal gardener can easily ad-
just by frankly explaining it to his
employer.

A thousand other duties might be enu-
merated which attach to the ideal gar-
dener of today, which in years gone by
were supposed to be outside of his prov-
ince. Far from considering these added
burdens, however, he should welcome
them as indications of increased oppor-
tunities and tributes to his advanced in-
telligence.

Needs the Best Education.

To meet these requirements success-
fully, what kind of a man is needed?
Certainly one with the most complete
education in the knowledge and cultiva-
tion of plants that can be conceived.
This should have begun in the lowest
grades of the grammar school, and con-
tinued through every step of school life,
not as a theory or dry recital of facts,
but out in the garden and field. Happily
this important feature in the education
of every child, whether destined for the
horticultural profession or not, is be-
ginning to be recognized by our public
educators. In the case of the ideal gar-
dener, of course, this study should never
cease; it should include a knowledge of
the lower organisms, both vegetable and
animal, which we call diseases, also that
of the insect and animal world in gen-
eral, in so far as it affects plant life for
good or ill.

A knowledge of physics, especially
that branch pertaining to mechanics; of
chemistry to the extent that he may ap-
preciate the relative values of different
elements in soil, air and water; to know
the effects of various chemicals on in-
sect life, and the poisons that are con-
tained in many plants, with their anti-
dotes— these would be extremely useful.
The fundamental laws of art, wherein it
is shown that harmony of colors and
forms follows as fixed and well-defined
rules as those that exist in the phenom-
ena of sound, should be understood. This
would naturally include a study of the
principles of landscape gardening, of
elementary land surveying and the use
of the instruments connected therewith.

Success Depends on the Man.

All these and a hundred other things
may be enumerated as contributing to
the mental equipment of a modern first- '
rate gardwier. It is a pretty formid-
able curriculum, especially to the mab
whose lines of perspective have not car-
ried him much beyond the potting bench,
whose chief ambition is to drop into an
easy job where the boss is away most
of the time, and where no embarrassing
questions are asked. Let it not be sup-
posed for a moment, however, that the
mere acquisition of all this knowledge in
itself constitutes an ideal man. These
things are simply tools to be used as
means to an end, which is wisdom, and
this finds its highest expression in the
ability and desire to serve. If in the
course of all these years of study and
application he has not discovered that
his own measure of happiness is com-
mensurate with the service which he ren-
ders others, then his time and labor
have been largely wasted. Unselfish
service is the philosopher's stone. He
who possesses it scatters happiness
wherever he goes — to his employer, his
fellow laborers, in fact to all with whom
he comes in contact. He possesses a
pleasing personality, is interesting in
conversation and tactful in manner. Of
him his employer makes a friend and
companion. He is not only an ideal
gardener but an ideal man.

MISCELLANEOUS
SEASONABLE HINTS.

. Geraniums,

It seems but a few days since ^e
were filling vases and pots with the
unequaled and useful plant, the zonal
geranium, and now here we are again
within a few days of when the first
batch of cuttings should be taken oflE
and rooted. There has been some spicy
talk of late in a contemporary on the
quantity of geranium plants that could
be propagated during winter from a
given number of plants. I did not fol-
low the controversy closely, but did
notice some of the figures and consid-
ered them a gross exaggeration of what
is possible with these popular plants.
By keeping old stock plants of gera-
niums in a high temperature during win-
ter you doubtless could produce a good
many young plants, but what are they
worth? To the man who haa to supply
his customers in May with vigorous,
robust plants, they are largely useless.
We have often had occasion to buy a
few hundred or thousand geraniums at
what appeared a very low price. The
only use we could make of them was to
cut off the top for a cutting and throw
away the original plant. They were in
almost all cases such drawn, attenuated

specimens that it was impossible to make
a decent plant of them.

A geranium wants growing just as
much as a palm or dracsena, but many
large firms when they grow dracsenas,
palms or pandanus, look with disdain on
the plebeian zonal geranium; and if they
grow geraniums at all they are given
a back seat along' the edge of the paths
or are so crowded, they soon become
diseased and useless. I am not going
to claim that the bedding geranium is
as profitable as many other less familiar
plants, yet we know several firms in
the neighborhood who grow first-class
4-inch geraniums and sell them to retail-
ers, peddlers, or at public market at
$10.00 per hundred and make a good
profit. They do not occupy much space
during the winter and when carnations
are thrown out axter Easter the gerani-
ums are given their last shift, a 4-inch,
and by bedding time make fine, robust
plants in flower.

Rootinsf Geraniums.

Before we had much experience in
this climate we attempted to root the
geraniums in August. It was a sad
failure. The cuttings would turn black
and quickly rot. The cause of this is

that the quantity of water they needed
in such tropical heat would overcharge
their tissue and the delicate walls of
the cellular tissue would burst, and decay
would be bound to soon ensue. Particu-
larly in this extraordinary hot and humid
August would it be folly to begin prop-
agation until we have a decided change
of weather, and it surely will come in
September.

The first week in September we have
found a good time to take off the first
batch of cuttings from the plants in the
garden or field. Three or four joints
of the leading shoots make the ideal cut-
ting. Never rob a cutting of all its
foliage (as I have seen done), which is
a great mistake, nor leave on too many
leaves. The two youngest leaves are
enough, which will leave two joints with-
out leaves, which should be cut off close
to the stem and not pulled off. Pot
these cuttings in 2-inch or 2%-inch pots
according to their size and strength and
place on the greenhouse bench. It is
better if this bench has the full sun
and light, but for the first two weeks a
temporary shade would be of benefit.

Firming; the Soil.

It is most essential that the soil in
these little pots should be firm and solid,
not merely thuinbed on the surface, but
solid around the base of the cutting.
This can only be done by getting your
thumb and first finger down by the side
of the cutting like a wedge. The first
watering will take care of the surface.
It is remarkable how many young gar-
deners are oblivious of this important
fact. They will revolve the pot and
keep up a thumbing on the surface.

Geraniums.

ft sceins luit ;i few diiys since we
wen; lilliii"; vases and pels witli llie
une((ualc(l and us(>t'ul plant, llie zonal
j^oranitini, and now lieic we are a^ain
uitliin a few days of wlieu Ihe (irst
bateii of cuttiiii;s should he taken oil"

and rooted. Tliere lias 1 n some spicy

talk of late in a conteinporaiv on the
quantity uf goraniuni plants that could
be piui)ayated duriii;; winter frotn a
yiven uunil)i'r of plants. 1 di.l not fol-
low tlu' controversy closely, lint <'.i(l
notice some of the figures and consid-
ered them a gross exaggeration of what
is pos.sible with these |jopular plants.
Ily keeping old stock jdants of gera
iiiums in a high temperature during win-
ter you doubtless could pi'oduce a good
itiany young plants, but what are they
worth.' To the man who lias to supply
iiis customers in May witl^ vigorous,
robust jdants, they are largely useless.
We lia\e often had occasion to liny a
few huuilred or thousaml geraniums at
what appeared a very low price. The
only use we eouhl make of them was to
ent off the toj) for a cutting and tlirow
away the original plant. They were in
almost all cases smdi drawn, attenuated

specimens that it was impossible to make
a decent iilant of them.

A geranium wants growing just as
nmcli as a palm or draca'tia. but manv
laige firms when they grow dracM'iias,
palms or pamlanus, look with i|isd;iiri on
the plebeian zonal geraiunm; and if they
grow geraiuums at all they art! given
a back seat along the edge of tlie paths
or are so crowded they soon beiMitne
diseased ami usidess. 1 am not going
to (daiin that the bedding geranium is
as jirofitable .-is many other less familiar
plants, yet we know seveial firms in
the neighborhood who grow first-(da?-s
4-in(di geraniums and sell them to retail
ers, peddl(M-s, or at public market at
$10.0(1 jier hundred and make a good
profit. They ilo not occupy much sjiace
dni'ing the winter ami when carnations
are thrown out aiier l]aster the gerani
urns are given their last shift, a 4incli,
and by bedding time make tine, robust
plants in flower.

Rooting Geraniums.

Hef(n(' we lunl much experieiK'C in

this (dimate wc attem|ited to root the

geraniums in August. It was a sad

failure. The cuttings woulcl turn bl.-ick

j and (|uickly rot. The cause of this is

that the (jii;nitity of w.-iter they nce.leil
in surli tropical heat would o\i'rch;irge
theii' tissue and the delicate w.alls of
the celbdar tissue would burst, and dcc.ay
woidd be bound to soon ensue. I'articu-
larly iu this ext raoi ilinary liot aiidlininid
August would it III- I'cdiy to begin prop-
agaliim nulil \\ e li;i\e a decided change
of weather, and it surely will coiiie in
September.

The first week in Si|itemlier we iia\e
f(Mind a. good time ti> lake ofl' the tirst
bat(di of cuttine^ t'roMi the jilants in the
garden or field. Tlnre or to\ir joints
of the hading shoots make the ideal cut-
ting. Never i(di a cutting ol' all its
foli.age (as I have sein clone), which is
a gi'ejit mistake, mir leave on too many
leaves. The two youngest loaves are
emiugh, whi<di will leave two joints with-
out leaves, which shcuild be cut off (doso
to the stem and not pulled (Of. I'ot
these cuttitigs in Ll inch or l^'-j in<-li pots
according to their si/e and sti'ength aiul
place on the greeidmuse bench. It is
better if tins bemdi has the f'ull sun
and light, but for the first two weeks ;i
temporary shade would lie ot' benefit.

Firming the Soil.

It is most essi'ntial that the soil in
these little pots shoidd be fiini anil solid,
not tneridy thumbed on the surface, hut
s(did around the base ot' the cutting.
This can only be done iiy getting your
tliutnb and first fineer down by tin' side
of the ■■lifting like a wedge. The first
watering will take care of the surface.
It is remarkable how many ynuiig gar-
deners ;ire oblivious of this important
tact. They will revolvi' the put ami
keep up a thumbing on the surface,

where it is not needed, and leave the
soil beneath loose where it should be
in close contact with the active roots.

Watering.

One good solid watering of the newly
potted cutting is necessary, but that can
be deferred for a few hours to allow the
succulent cutting to evaporate some of
its sap. After the one good, thorough
watering it is not easy to say when
water is needed again. It will de-
pend on how much sun they receive and
on the weather, but don't water again
until they are decidedly dry. In three
or four weeks most all of them will
have started roots and then can absorb
more water, but until the roots are
formed water only when quite dry. This
may be once a week or twice a week.
Use your eyes and brain.

Another reason why it is advisable to
take oflf a lot of cuttings early in Sep-
tember is that the strong growths you
cut back will make a lot of lateral
growth, which in early October will give
you lots of the very best of cuttings,
which with cooler weather will root with
ease, and if you wish to lift a lot of
plants for winter propagation, these cut
back plants will be in excellent order
to lift and put in pots or~ plant on a
bench.

Some may think this is a long ynru
about such a common plant. We were
overwhelmed last winter with specimens
of foliage and accounts of diseased
geraniums. We believe most of the trou-
ble arises from not realizing what a
geranium needs and often they are given
poor ventilation, too high a temperature,
insuflBcient sunlight and too much water.
The opposite of all these conditions is
what will grow healthy, robust gerani-
ums and early September is the time to
begin right.

Ferns.

1 notice with benches of nephrolepis,
the old Boston, Scottii and Whitmani,
they are growing very fast of late and
will soon need more room. It is rather
early just now to lift all your plants.
Another ^ix or seven weeks' gjpowth in
the bed will greatly increase -them in
size. Lift now if crowding every other
row or every other plant in the row.
These early lifted plants will become
established and make fine plants for

early fall sales. ±"ill up all the holes
where you have lifted the plants and
over the surface of your beds spread one
inch of sifted rotten manure. Decayed
spent hops would be an excellent mate-
rial, or the remains of an old hotbed.
The ferns will be sending out numerous
runners now, which will find this mulch-
ing congenial material to root in. You
never will have an overstock of these
most useful ferns. Wm. Scott.

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market

The market was fair last week on
most of the items, but little could be
done with gladioli, the poorer grades be-
ing almost unsalable at any price. As--
ters became a tremendous overstock as
the week progressed, so that prices went
down to unquotably low levels. The ex-
tra value which had attached to white
also was affected by increasing suppli^B
of outdoor carnations.

This week finds the wholesale section
quiet. Everybody is away, at convention.
Many of the local retailers and a large
proportion of the country buyers are
also there, so that home activities Kt4 at
a low ebb. Supplies are above require-
ments. The new Beauties are more
abundant and each day adds a fraction
of an inch to the length of stem of the
best grade. The cut from young teas
also is increasing and improving. Chate-
nay is particularly plentiful, and doubt-
less will be for the next few weeks.

Asters still are in large supply; every-
body has some good stock, but the low
eradea are again strongly in evidence.
Gladimi still are a great trial; soon it
will be dahlias. The sweet peas are
about all* in. Auratum lilies are passing,
but longiflorum is abundant. Garden
flowers do not sell with gi*sat rapidity.
Tuberoses are more plentiful and sell
slower. Valley is in fair supply. Greens
of all kinds are abundant.

Need More Spac/.

The A. L. Bandall Co. finds the sup-
ply department already crampe^^ for
space, vdth several car-loads of stock
coming as the result of Miss Tenner's
trip to Europe. A portion of' the third
floor of their building has been secured
and shortly the entire floor will be occu-

pied. They say the supplies are helping
business in the cut flower department.

Safesfuards Accounts.

C. M. Dickinson states that E. H.
Hunt is a member of an association
• which insures rated accounts ; that is, in
the event of a rated creditor failing to
pay, the insurance company makes good.
Charles A. Shaeffer, Kansas City, was
rated and upon his failure the insurance
people promptly paid Hunt some $665,
several times the yearly cost of insur-
ance for all rated accounts. Shaeffer 's
other local creditors received a 15 per
cent first dividend last week.

Violets in Request.

Bhinebeck violet growers are shortly
to have the opportunity of making the
personal acquaintance of several Chicago
wholesalers without going off their own
front steps, for Bhinebeck violets are
wanted for this market for the coming
season. A few seasons ago this would
have been considered notice to unchain
the bulldog, but. in view of the recent
expansion of the violet industry and the
showing Chicago has made in comparison
with other markets, the westerners feel
assured of a hospitable welcome. W. E.
Lynch, of Hunt's, who is now in Massa-
chusetts, was the first Chicago whole-
saler to visit Bhinebeck, and G. H. Pie-
ser, of Kennicott's, was there last year.
Some of this year's visitors may be
lighter physically, but they will be none
the less eloquent.

Various Notes.

At Morton Grove the Poehlmann Bros.
Co. is installing big cooling rooms and
making other preparations for shipping
their standing orders direct from the
greenhouses. This not only will place
the stock in the customers' hands with
the least possible handling, but it will
relieve the pressure on the city sales-
room. When cuts are at their height
at the Poehlmann plant the store is
badly crowded. The glass area has
doubled since it was possible to obtain
more room for the selling end.

The George Wittbold Co. is erecting
an apartment building on its property
at Edgebrook.

Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Kessler, of To-
peka, Kan., are in town for a two weeks*

vacation, visiting growers and riding on
the lake steamers.

The Foley Mfg. Co. is working up a
list of trade addresses of its own and
offers to send a neat souvenir to any
greenhouse owner who sends his name
and address, and states the number of
feet of glass he owns.

W. G. Matthews, of the Dayton Floral
Co., Dayton, and his foreman, Samuel
Kurtz, were in town last week, visiting
leading growers. Mr. Matthews depends
entirely on this market for his roses
and carnations.

J. T. Helbok has a good stand at 1419
Wrightwood avenue and does a nice
business, especially in funeral flowers.

J. Enzweiler, on Morgan street, says
July was a good month, but August has
been dead.

The A. Dietsch Co. finds its season's

years, whose mentality is in direct con-
trast to his physical disabilities, which
are such that he is unable to walk.

Miss Kate Moulton rose at Peter Eein-
berg's is looking fine.

John Zech says that bis firm has sev-
eral new growers for this season and
expects to double its business.

H. N. Bruns sailed from Hamburg,
Germany, August 16 and is expected to
arrive home about the end of the month.

S. B. Wertheimer, the New York rib-
bon man, was in town last week.

N. J. Wietor points with pride to the
Kaiserins they have been and are cut-
ting in quantity.

L. H. Winterson will proceed east
from the convention, combining pleasure
with business.

Fred Sperry is at his desk this week,
but expects to go east in a few days.

Bichmond rose is looking fine with all
the growers, and has been planted in
great quantity.

There were sixty-four in the party
from Chicago to Dayton. The baggage
car was well supplied with refreshments,
which were artistically dispensed by the
indefatigable Ed. Winterson, and all had
a pleasant time. The names of those
in the party appear in proper order in
the general list of those present at the
convention, printed elsewhere in this
issue.

W. F. Gude and Adolphus Gude, of
Washington, D. C, were in the city the
first of this week, on their way home
from a six weeks' trip in Colorado.
They stopped off in Dayton for the con-
vention.

The Chicago Eose Co. has put in a big
stock of grass-growing heads, including
some larger sizes than have been seen
here.

The goose-neck bends at Bassett &
Washburn's are in the heating pipes,
not in the rose stems. They are the
latest invention of the heating experts
to take care of expansion.

Sinner Bros, have their place all paint-
ed, planted and in the pink of perfec-
tion.

Albert Fuchs seems to be trying to
cover the whole north side with flat
buildings.

Weiland & Eisch say it will be six
weeks before their crop comes on, which
should be a date for good business.

Phil Schupp, at J. A. Budlong's, says
their rose crop is due about Septem-
ber 15.

Kruchten^& Johnson will get into the
shipping trade this winter.

Joe Foerster says that prospects were
never so bright at George Eeinberg's.
The young stock looks right and the
store facilities are equal to all needs.

Percy Jones says there will shortly be
a number of new growers in the market.

OUR COVER.

Reed & Keller's Exhibit at Dayton.

The special cover on this week's Ee-
viEW pleases those who had to do with
its manufacture and, as all are excellent
firms, it is with pleasure that we give

business has been limited by its capacity
to turn out work rather than by its
ability to get orders, and is planning to
put in more machinery and more power
for next year. The prospect looks good
to them.

Invitations are out to the first gath-
ering of the Coatsworth family in Amer-
ica, to be held at Kingsville, Ont., Sep-

NEV YORK.

The Market

The New York cut flower market has
settled down to the usual midsummer
dullness which characterizes August of
every year. Everybody in the wholesale
section is evidently conscious of the near
approach of the fall season. The allied
trades are every one of them already
booming in anticipation of the extraor-
dinary demand. Never were the nursery-
men so overwhelmed with orders, the
seed and bulb men are working night
and day, and the stocks and novelties
of the supply men exceed all past ac-
cumulations, with advance orders already
received for large quantities of goods.

There is an abundance of everything
in the cut flower markets, and at most
reasonable prices. The quality of every-
thing is improving, the supply of asters
and gladioli is unlimited. American
Beauty roses are abundant, and the fin-
est of them command 20 to 25 cents.
The new Bride and Maid roses are
short-stemmed and cheap, often clean-
ing up at as low as 25 to 50 cents per
hundred. There are few good carna-
tions arriving yet, though a slight im-
provement is noticed in their quality
each week, and soon they will resume
their place and popularity. Orchids are
being called for in excess of the supply,
and prices remain firm at the regular
quotation. McManus reports out of
town inquiries and engaceinelfts^ in ex-
cess of other years, and predicts an
abundant supply of everything before
September 1. His trip to the west seems
to be already bearing fruit, and he
claims that not a large city within a
thousand miles of New York will pass
the season without a regular daily ship-
ment from headquarters.

There are plenty of lilies and valley
to be had at reasonable prices, and the
green goods and water lily men seem
to be busier than usual. We look for
a return to the rush and activity of the
fall season as early as September 1.

Variottt Notes.

The east is splendidly represented at
the convention, both in attendance and
exhibits, and the conventionists surely
appreciate the splendid displays which
the New Yorkers have sent to Dayton.

Almost every employee of the whole-
salers has been privileged with a liberal
vacation, and the lady bookkeepers are
all at their desks again with the glow
of . health on their faces; in some cases,
this promises to be the * ' home stretch ' '
for a few of them. Dame Kumor an-
nounces the marriage of two of the most
popular among them early in September,
and as an indication of faithful service,
the happy benedict in each case is a
wholesale florist. Congratulations will
be in order shortly.

J. K. Allen came back on Monday
from his two weeks ' outing in time to
join the New York contingent on its way
to Dayton. W. H. Elliott, of Boston,

abundant room for their increasing busi-
ness.

Traendly & Schenck are repainting
their establishment, and their employees
were surprised by a call from a protesting
union delegate ' of the painters ' union,
who demanded his society's authority
before any further decoration was done.
The delegate woke up suddenly when
he received a "skidoo" order and dis-
appeared.

J. B, Waldis, of Roanoke, Va., who
had been visiting in Switzerland, re-

signs in violet ribbons.

The Johnston Heating Co, has been
awarded the contract for installing the
hot water hefiting plant in the two
hduses, each 55 x 350 feet, of the F. R,
Pierson Co., at Scarboro, N, Y. Mr,
Pierson finds the tremendous amount of

been for many years with the firm of
Peter Henderson & Co., the seedsmen of
Cortlandt street, New York, and was a
universal favorite with all who knew
him.

William H. Donohoe had charge of
the Fanshawe wedding at Shrewsbury,

The Market

Business is now at its lowest ebb, and
there is just about enough to keep the
craft from going to sleep. The demand
is confined entirely to flowers of light
colors, which can be used in funeral
work, and no one is taking the risk of
buying much stock unless it is ordered
and the sale is a sure thing. There is
practically no transient trade and very

little decorative work. Funeral work is
the mainstay.

The supply of stock is not heavy, with
the exception of gladioli, which are com-
ing strong and are not selling so well.
It is hard to move the darker colors at
any price. Asters are in good demand
and the supply is fairly ample, but many
more white ones could be disposed of to
advantage. Purple and lavender are
none too plentiful. Roses are poor in

quality, but at that, they sell out com-
pletely at fair prices. Carnations are
scarce, there being scarcely any to speak
of on the market. Lilies are good prop-
erty and sell w«ll. Tuberoses also do
well. The supply of green goods is equal
to the demand.

Various Notes.

A meeting of the Florists' Society
was held in the club-rooms Saturday
evening. There was not much business

to be disposed of, but the nearness of
the convention of the S. A. F. formed
an interesting topic for discussion. A
committee was appointed to draw up
resolutions on the death of James
Hartshorne, who was an honorary mem-
ber of our society. The news of the
death of Mr. Hartshorne was received
w4th the greatest regret by the craft of
this city. He was a frequent visitor
in Cincinnati, and his amiable disposi-
tion and good business qualities had
made him many friends here.

The annual Hamilton county fair was
held at Carthage during the last week.
The premiums offered for cut flowers
and plants brought out a good exhibi-
tion. The awards were as follows:
George & Allan, first for best display of
roses, best -general display of cut flow-
ers, best general display of cut flowers
and designs; second for best gladiolus,
best asters, best palms, best display of
pot plants. J. T. Conger took first
prizes for best geraniums, best gladiolus,
best asters, best palms, best display pot
plants, best general display; second on
best display of roses, best general dis-
play of cut flowers.

George F. Crabb, of Grand Bapids,
arrived in town last Saturday and is
visiting the various establishments about
this city. Other visitors were Ben Esch-
ner of Philadelphia and S. S.Jgkidelsky.

NOVEL COLD STORAGE PLANT.

H. G. Fleming, of Fairmont, W. Va.,
has the unique advantage of getting his
heat and his cold from the same source.
A small horizontal coal tunnel leads to
his boiler-roam, and from this little cars
bring him his fuel, then on the return
trip they carry his cut flowers back to
the mine for cold storage. The little
railroad runs through the greenhouses
and furnishes transportation facilities.

The temperature of the mine never
varies more than three degrees, remain-
ing at 45 to 48 degrees. A dozen car-
nations put in for the purpose of ex-
perynent wilted only one day sooner than
the fresh carnations.

GENERAL HINTS.

I wish some information in regard to
the treatment of rosea in a middle solid
bench of a house 17x150 feet; Brides,
Maids, Gates, Ivory, Chatenay, Rich-
mond and Killarney are the varieties.
They were planted early in July in rich,
fibrous, heavy loam, sterilized. They
have been perfectly healthy and growing
continually. I notice by digging in the
soil deep enough that little roots reach
clear to the middle of the rows on the
larger plants.

I have treated them as follows:
Sprayed nearly every bright day, and
kept soil rather moist, but not very wet.
I have ventilated all that was possible,
night and day, and worked the soil
frequently. Until a short time ago I
have cut the buds off rather high up,
to produce size and lots of foliage.
Lately on the larger plants I have been
leaving only the strongest eyes, two to
four, according to strength. No buds
have been allowed to bloom. A good
number of strong shoots have come
from the roots and higher up, and also
quite a little weaker growth.

How has the treatment been so far?
Is it too often to spray the plants once
a day, when not wetting the soil to
speak of? Would it be wise to run the
roses slightly on the dry side for a
while now, to produce more root growth,
and then increase the water again in
about two or three weeks?

In cutting back the shoots, should they
be cut while the stem is soft, or not
until the bud is well formed and the
wood hardened?

Should blind shoots be cut back the
^ame as those with buds? Should the
weak, blind wood be removed occasion-
ally from the plants? What suggestions
can you give for immediate future treat-
ment, that would tend to produce the
strongest possible growth? A. A. G.

The treatment accorded these roses
has so far been right, and if the grower
continues conscientiously to follow the
advice given in these columns in the
future, as he has done in the past, ho
is certain to be satisfied with the
results.

At the present stage it would be
unwise to cut out the blind wood, as t^e
plants require all the foliage they have
to keep root action going. When the
plants attain a larger size and become
overcrowded with leaves, and the days
get shorter, then it may be advisable to
do some judicious pruning to give a
better circulation of air, and allow the
sun's rays to reach the soil.

It would also be against the best cul-
tural rules to withdraw the water sup-
ply and. run them on the dry side. Keep
them growing as ^ong as you can, and
decrease the supply of water as the
days get shorter and evaporation de-
creases.

Keep the syringe going on all favor-
able occasions, and do not allow red
spider to get a hold, or you may have
to regret lost opportunities.

It is better to allow the bud to develop
until it shows color or even to come to
the bursting point before taking it off,
as the wood by that time will have
acquired just about the proper condition
of ripeness to develop a good eye.

To encourage a stronger growth, give
the benches a sprinkling of florists' bone
meal, and ruffle it into the surface, giv-
ing the bench a thorough soaking after-
ward.

By keeping an eye on the rose column
of the Eeview, you will find hints for
the treatment of your stock as the sea-
son advances. Bibes.

CLUB ROOT ON ROSES.

Will you kindly tell me what to do for
club root on roses? Is lime good, and
how should it be used and in what quan-
tities? Do you use it fresh or air-
slaked? I have two benches, each 5x100
feet, planted with Bichmond and Ivory,
and they show signs qf , this trouble.

W. C. D.

If the club root is caused by eel-worm,
the case is rather serious, as there is
really no remedy known that will de-
stroy this pest without also ruining the
plants.

There are, however, other insects which
attack the roots of roses and cause club
root, and which are amenable to treat-
miBnt.

Air-slaked lime stirred into the soil
will help by keeping the soil sweet.
Stirring or cultivating once a week has
also a beneficial effect, by imparting
vitality to the plant and keeping it in
a growing condition, so as to resist such
root enemies.

Good treatment, plenty of fresh air
and a generous supply of water often
does wonders for plants so affected.

Bibes.

THRIPS ON ROSES.

What can I do to get rid of thrips or
white fly in my rose house? I have done
all I know, and I trust you can tell me
the right thing to do. M. E. A.

There is a very marked difference be-
tween thrips and the small white fly
which has recently become so trouble-
some in greenhouses, and what proves a
destructive agent when employed for the
extermination of thrips seems but a
delicacy for white fly.

Various remedies have been tried for
the extermination of this very destruc-
tive pest, the most efficacious of which
is a few applications of hydrocyanic acid
gas.

This is a very subtle poison, and
should be used with great caution. In
the Beview of July 12, Mr. Scott gave
full directions for the use of this gas,
which if carefully followed out will cer-
tainly kill the "varmints." Bibes.

There has been no noticeable change

Carnations are a little better, but being

of short stem. Gladioli move slowly,

■ When the Detroit delegation for Day-
ton lined up at the Union Depot, with
their large str.iw hats and "Uncle
Pike" dusters, a farmer passing by rc-
Inarked, "Gosh darn my boot -jack, if
them beant h crop of rubes from Spin-
nagpville, " but closer scrutiny proved
them to be a bunch of Detroit boys off
• for a good time; an*l' they are ^?rtainly
having it.

Robert Floworday and wife have been
spending the uarm days in a cottage
at the St. Clair Flats.

No, Breitmeyer's and Sclirocter's have
not moved their places of business — the
name of the well-known Miami avenue
has been clianged to Broadway. The
exorbitant rent asked on Woodward
avenue is having a tendency to drive
many firms to side streets, with the
odds in favor of Broadway. In time
thjp will make a fine business street,
as it is 100 feet wide, and within a
stone's throw of Woodward avenue.

Club Meeting.

Although no special feature was
booked for the evening, the regular
meeting of the Detroit Florists' Club,

held August 15, was well attended. The
minutes of the last, the annual meeting,
as read by , Secretary Sullivan, were
adopted.

Robert Rahaley was unanimously
elected a member of the club. Mr. Ea-
haley is assistant manager as well as
bookkeeper at the Michigan Cut Flower
Exchange, and is popular with all in
the trade. The name of J. D. Car-
wright, of Grosse Pointe, was entered
as a candidate for membership.

In a previous meeting it was resolved
that the secretary draft a petition to
the S. A. F. in behalf of the Detroit
Florists' Club, asking their aid in fight-
ing: the aster disease. This petition was
rea^, and approved by the members
present. Quite an interesting discussion
followed, the essence of which was that
all the growers were experiencing some
troubia, but each man 'srlronbles seemed
to be of a different nature, Mr. Unger,
head gardener at Bell Isle Park, spoke
of an insect similar in appearance to
the greenfly, but with a long bill or
trunk, boring into the roots about one
inch below the ground. Some claim the
trouble to be common stem-rot. Some
attribute it to the soil, to overfeeding,
to the tap roots not being trained
straight downward^ to too much sun, to
warm nights, and sO on.

Mr. Unger thought it would be ad-
visable to interest the state agricultural
society, also Dr. L. O. Howard, the
United States entomologist, at Washing-
ton, D. C. No matter where the trou-
ble lies, there must be some remedy and
it is the purpose of the Detroit club to
find it.

W, W. Tracy, formerly with D. M.
Ferry, but now in the employ of the
United States government, was spoken
of as being one of the best posted, keen-
est, and most thorough men in the agri-
cultural department.

The main feature assigned to the even-
ing of the next meeting, September 5,
will be observations of the convention.

H. S.

Cleveland, O. — The Euclid Avenue
Gardeners' Club held its first annual
gladiolus show, August 15 to 19, and the
affair was a great success. Prizes for^
the various exhibits were awarded Au-
gust 16. The judges of the show were:
E. A. Eeeves, of this city; W. C. Werner,
of Painesville; Prof. Edwards and Mrs.
Robert Maxwell, both of this city. The
show was held in a building in Euclid
Beach park'.

Vegetable Forcing.

CUCUMBER HOUSE.

It is my purpose to build two short-
roof houses, about 20x100 feet. Do I
need as high a house for vegetables as
is required for flowers? My specialty is
cucumbers. I want the best possible con-
struction. W. W.

A house for cucumbers need not be so
high as some plant houses, but should
be at least four feet high at the sides,

with sufScient pitch to allow plenty of
head-room. The construction will depend
largely upon the amount of money you
intend to spend. A steel frame con-
struction is the best, as it lasts longer;
but just as good cucumbers can be grown
in a sashbar house.

The house should have suflBcient pip-
ing, with boiler power behind it to
keep up a temperature of 70 degrees
in the coldest weather. It is not neces-
sary to bench your house, as the plants

will grow just as well on the ground
floor, providing you have a good soil,
liberally enriched. But you must pro-
vide a trellis on which to train the plants.
In a house twenty feet wide there will
be nice room for four rows. Your pipes
can be run along the sides of your house,
and the plants should be set far enough
back to be away from the burning in-
fluence of the pipes.

You say you want all the information
you can get, but if you would be a little

more specific and tell me the points on
which you wish to be enlightened I may
be able to help you better. Cucumber
growing is a large subject; hence the
need of knowing just what points you
desire information on.

The Market

So far as could be learned, business
the last week was not so good as the
week previous. The last of the week the
demand was quite good. With an active
demand and rather small supply of first-
class stock, it was easily moved at fair
prices. There is still a big supply of
second-class stock which moves slowly.
We still have a few weeks left for slow
business, as society will hardly open up
before the latter part of September, and
not until then can much be looked for.

Roses are improving fast. The qual-
ity of blooms is showing this. Beauties
too are looking better, but not enough
of them are coming in to supply the de-
mand. Extra good quality of carnations
are not to be had in this market. Fairly
good white from the field are short-
stemmed. Bed and pink are very scarce.

Asters are of good quality. The poor-
er grades, especially in colored sorts, are
a glut. Extra fine quality sell well,
with some as high as $5 per hundred.
Outdoor atutt, such as hydrangeas, gladi-
oli and tuberoses, is plentiful and hard
to sell, as there are too many. The out-
look for better stock soon is promising,
as our local growers report young stock
in roses and carnations in excellent con-
dition. Violet plants are also large and
fine.

G)nveotion Matters.

The St. Louis delegation left Monday
over the Vandalia railroad at 8:15, and
they were due to arrive at Dayton at
8:15 Tuesday morning. By the time this
issue is in the hands of our readers we
will, be enjoying the hospitality of the
Dayton Qorists. . , .

Among the bowlers who attend are in-
cluded €. A. Kuehn, Theo. Miller, F. C.
Weber, William C. Young, F. H. Mein-
hardt, E. W. Guy and J. J. Beneke.
I'rom this list a team was to be selected
to bowl in the tournament, and expected
to make a good showing.

TTHE beautiful custom of presenting Nature's most lovely gifts
appears more manifest today than in the past. Flora is now
indispensable on so many occasions.

The wedding festivities are incomplete without the florist's art.
The entertainment or reception is not perfect without the adornment
of beautiful flowers. From the cradle to the end, in times of joy
and sorrow, the gift of flowers is, and always will be, fashionable,
sentimental and sympathetic.

An experience of many years, and our improved method of
packing flowers for shipment, make it possible to forward fresh
flowers successfully for a reasonable distance, even through the
warm .summer months.

Reliable correspondents in distant cities both in the United States
and Canada enable us to transfer orders by telegraph or mail. Euro-
pean orders cabled to the best representatives of floriculture abroad
insure our patrons the proper execution of their esteemed favors.

The market shows quite a little im-
provement and has cleaned up better
than for several weeks. Climatically the
last week was the most perfect of the
summer, skies cloudless each day, and
not a drop of rain falling, a big change
from what we had erperienced for many
■weeks. The clearer conditions seemed to
brace even the flower market.

Roses sell all the way from 50 cents to
$6 per hundred, for varieties other than
Beauties. The latter are not very plenti-
ful and the best hold at $20. The best
carnations now arriving are outdoor ones.
These fetch $1.50 to $2 per hundred.
New indoor crop flowers arriving are
small and short-stemmed, while those
from the old crop are very puny in
size. I

Asters sell at 35 e^^^kts to $1' per hun-
di*ed. Sweet peas seem to be practically
over. Gladioli are at $3 to $6, the pink
and white shades selling well. Hydran'
gea paniculata and Hydrangea grandi-
flora at 35 cents per dozen are plentiful.
Some Hydrangea Otaksa is seen. Easter
lilies hold at $1.50 per dozen. There is
still a good lot of Lilium auratum and
Lilium speciosum. The outdoor crop of
the last named will be ready in a few
days. Candytuft, cornflowers, valley
and feverfew comprise the bulk of the
other flowers seen.

Exhibition.

The exhibition at Horticultural hall on
August 18 was fine, entirely filling the
main hall. Phloxes agaimnade a granfl
showing. For thirty vases prizes went
to T. C. Thurlow, F. W. Spinney, Blue
Hill Nurseries and W. Whitman. J. K.

Alexander led for twelve named gladi-
oli, folloM'ed by W. Whitman and John
Lewis Childs. The last named won for
100 vases gladioli, C. S. Pratt seconc!,
J. K. Alexander third. For asters W.
Whitman was first and second and O. B.
Kenrick third. T. O. Hatfield received
honoraW mention for Senecio clivorum,
fine fox^ edges of ponds or streams.
E. F. Dwyer & Son had a new clematis,
intermediate between the shrubby and
climbing sections.

Dahlias made a great display. Some
of the exhibitors of these were J. K.
Alexander, Towle's Dahlia Gardens,
A. E. Johnson, Mrs. J. B. Lawrence,
W. W. Kawson & Co., W. C. Winter and
W. G. Winsor. Other displays of flow-
ers came from Blue Hill Nurseries,
which also received honorable mention
for hybrid nigosa rose, Conrad F. Mayer,
W. J. Clemson, Mrs. E. M. Gill, Harvard
Botanic Gardens and H. B. Watts.

W. H. Knapp has returned from a
three weeks' visit to Jeffrey, N. H., with
his mother.

A baseball game of a pleasant nature
was held at Natick on August 18, the op-
posing teams being from the Park Street
Flower Market and Waban Rose Con-
servatories. Refreshments of ice cream,
cake and coffee were served through the
kindness of Alex. Montgomery.

James Tulis, of South Sudbury, and
S. J. Goddard, of Framingham, are
sending in quantities of fine outdoor-
grown carnations, which meet a quick
sale.

Anderson & Williams are one of the
few growers for this market of Bou-
vardia Humboldtii. They are now mar-
keting some fine bunches of it.

A call last week on F. C. Green, su-
perintendent of Senator N. W. Aldrich's
extensive estate at Warwick, R. I., found
him still busy making many improve-
ments. The 100 or more acres of lawns
never looked more beautiful, while trees
and shrubs, thanks to the copious mois-
ture, had all made luxuriant growth.

James Burke, on the J. A. Foster es-
tate at Warwick, has some of the finest
Hydrangea Otaksa it was ever our privi-
lege to see. They are planted outdoors
and well protected, but never housed.
Some planted out in 1900 were marvel-
ous plants, carrying in one case as many
as 1,100 heads of bloom. These we will
refer to again.

The Boston delegation to the S. A. F,
convention left on the 10:45 a. m. ex-
press per Boston & Albany Railroad on
August 20, and had clear, hot weather
with them as a starter. The shade tem-
perature on the preceding day registered
95 degrees, the highest reading of the
year.

Mann Bros, have the market pretty
much to themselves on Lilium longiflo-
rum this week, with a very steady sale.

Visitors last week were A. Morgan, of

|T will interest f lie GROWERS and RETAILERS to icnow tliat WE,
Samuel S. Pennocic and Charles E. Meelian, individually, and
the Philadelphia Wholesale Flower Market, have spent the best
part of the summer forming plans for a CONSOLIDATION. This
we have accomplished, the same to take effect about October I,
under the title of the S. S. PENNOCK - MEEHAN CO., their

headquarters being located in the

S. S. PENNOCK BUILDING, I608-I0-I2-I4-I6-I8 Ludlow Street, PHILADELPHIA.

■ In making this announcement, the new company desires to call attention to the following solid
grounds on which it bases its claims to public patronage:

1. FACILITIES. . The largest and most modemly equipped of any wholesale florist
establishment in the world. Centrally located, and having at its command an experience of twenty
years in knowing how to make the best of these facilities for the benefit of customers.

2. ORGANIZATION. The next most important consideration— developed on practical
lines through years of experience — has been brought by selection and elimination as near perfection as
possible; and constant vigilance is the watchword in this department, to the end that each employee may
by fair but firm treatment show the best that he is capable of, not only for his own sake but for that of
his employer and the public — the interests of all being in the long run identical.

3. SERVICE. Great stress is laid on accurate filling and delivery of orders. Telegrams,
phones, messages of all kinds, verbal or written, receive the careful attention of competent heads of
departments, so that no one need feel any hesitation in forwarding hurry up-orders. The organization
and service are so complete that it is almost impossible for any hitch to occur.

4. STOCK. This, of course, governs everything. If the goods are not there, no sales can
be made. The Pennock record in this connection^of always having everything and the best of every-
thing— speaks for itself; the Flower Market or Meehan record — which has behind it some of the best
growers in this vicinity in addition to careful and shrewd development — also adds its weight.

5. QUALITY. The quality of stock reaching the Philadelphia market is unexcelled, as the
awards at the various competitions in New York, Boston, Chicago, and other centers, amply attest.
In many lines our growers lead the world.

6. QUANTITY. The enormous shipments of fine flowers that reach Philadelphia every
morning render it possible to fill the most exacting order almost any hour of the day or time of the
year. If a thing is to be had at all, here is the place to find it.

7. KNOWLEDGE. Last but not least, " knowledge." Knowledge of the customer and his
wants, gathered from long experience; also a ready and sympathetic willingness to help him out in
emergencies; knowledge of what to send and what not to send; this knowledge is the rarest of all and
has been a corner-stone in the building up of the two great businesses under consideration.

8. FINALLY. We feel that by this consolidation we have made a leap of ten years into the
future, and in all the important qualifications: in facilities, in equipment, in organization, in stock, in
quantity, in quality, in knowledge, and in service, it is at the forefront of twentieth century enterprise,
and offers itself confidently to the whole country as the best place, both for the grower to market his
products, and the buyer to procure his supply of cut flowers, plants, and florists' supplies of all kinds,
and begs to subscribe itself in all sincerity as

Greenhouse Beating.

BOILER AND PIPING.

Will you kindly inform me how many
lines of 2-inch pipe it will take to heat
a greenhouse I am building 16%x42 feet,
5y2-foot walls, east and west, glass in
front wall (south), back boarded up to
plate.

I have a stej^m boiler which is rated
400 horsepower for steam. It has one
2^ -inch flow and one l^^-inch return.
Would it do to use for hot water heat-
ing? A. A. B.

The boiler in question can undoubted-
ly be used with fair economy and suc-
cess as a hot water boiler. Hot water
heaters usually have the openings for
flow and return pipes nearly the same
size, and usually considerably larger than
for steam. The house i^ question should
be provided with eleven runs of 2-inch
pipe arranged as flow and returns.

L. C. C.

PIPE CAPAQTY.

I have built two greenhouses 20x160
feet, four feet high under gutter and
eleven feet to ridge-pole. They have
four flows and five returns each, all 2-
inch pipe. Is this enough to heat the
houses to 60 degrees with zero outside!

B. S.

While it is possible to keep out frost
with the piping you have provided, in
order that the specified temperature, 60
degrees, may be maintained during zero
weather, it will be necessary to add two
more runs of pipe to the present equip-
ment. The addition of two more returns
in each house is all that will be necessary
to be on the safe side; that is, eleven
lines of pipe in each house instead of the
nine you have already provided.

L. C. C.

PIPES IN LONG HOUSE.

I have built one house 22x100 feet
(shed on west end with boiler-room un-
derneath), twelve feet to ridge. I intend
to grow lettuce and carnations. The
temperature is 38 degrees below zero.
What amount of hot water pipe and
what size do you recommend f I am
going to use a twenty horse-power tubu-
lar boiler. What size inlet and outlet

ought there to bef I want to use the
pipes for steam after I enlarge the plant.

W. M. N.

The house in question can be heated
with water under pressure by using a
3%-inch flow pipe carried under the
ridge to the distant end of the house,
and there divided by three 2-inch
branches to supply three coils, each con-
sisting of 1%-inch pipe. Place seven
lines of pipe in each coil on the outside
walls or under the outside benches, and
six lines under the center bench, making
twenty returns in all. It will be best to
have the openings in the boiler the same
size as the flow and returns; if not,
make them four inches and bush down.
Put the expansion tank up high if you
do not use city pressure. L. C. d

EXPANSION TANK.

In connecting the expansion tank,
would it do as weil to connect on the
bottom of the boiler? I have returns on
each side of the boiler, and there is a
1-inch opening at the bottom of the
sides. M. W. W.

While it is most desirable to connect
the expansion tank to a main return
near the point where it enters the boiler,
I see no reason why it should not give
good satisfaction when connected direct-
ly with the boiler, provided the point of
contact is below the opening for the re-
turns. L. C. C.

The French crop of Golden Self-

The Iowa Seed Co., Des Moines, la.,

Beports from the sections where pea

the trade is badly hampered by the
scarcity of 7 x 9 Harrisii and large size

A. C. Kendel makes a good point in
an interview with a Cleveland reporter,
when he says of congressional free seeds :
"Even more opposed to the practice
than the seed dealers are the country
storekeepers, with whom the seed trade
is an important item of their business,
or would be if it were not for the thou-
sands of packets mailed free by con-
gressmen. ' '

The onion set situation has about ad-
justed itself. It is generally admitted
that the crop is short ; that the product,
especially at Chicago, is of good quality;
that the conditions will warrant an ad-
vance of prices, and that they who sold
early for future delivery will have hard
work making good. Some of the larger
growers who were hit hard by unfavor-
able spring weather, and who had hoped
that the favorable conditions that came
afterwards would help them out at har-
vest time,, are disappointed. A scarcity
of what are termed pickle onions will
help to keep up the price of whites.

A PLEASANT OUTING.

James Vick 's Sons, of Rochester, N. Y.,
entertained their employees, one hundred
in number, at a picnic Saturday, Aug. 11.
A chartered car took the excursionists
to Glen Haven, and after a pleasant ride
on Irondequoit bay, landed at Newport.
The hotel was open for all, and dancing,
sports, etc., occupied the time until din-
ner. This waa served up in epicurean
style, and was relished by the crowd.
More games and sports and launch rides
on the clear, bright water of the bay
followed. Among the most notable of
the guests were Joseph Fuller, called
Uncle Joe by those who know him well
and admire him most, and Fred Fisher,
two of the veteran seedsmen of this part
of the country and of America. Both
have been with Vick's house since its
inception. Mr. Fuller superintends the
flower seed department, and what Fred
Fisher doesn't know about asters would
not. take long to tell.

No more ideal spot could have been
chosen for an outing. The weather was
perfect and the scenery magnificent.
Close to the heart of nature, and with
all other necessary combinations, the
folks had a good time, for which Messrs.
Vick, ■ King and Fonda were largely
responsible.

different colors grown altogether get
inoculated. We think we might endeavor
to explain to him through your columns
that sweet pea flowers, as soon as they
are fully open, have been already fer-
tilized by their own pollen, and there
is no likelihood of the bees or other
insects having brought in foreign pol-
len. As all sweet pea hybridizers know,

NEW SWEET PEAS.

Watkins & Simpson, the London sieeds-
men, who make a specialty of sweet
peas, have a set of four new sorts to
send out the coming season. All are
descended from Gladys Unwin, which has
given such universal satisfaction, and
are said to be as fixed in character as
is that variety. The novelties are named
and described as follows:
• Nora Unwin takes its place easily in
the front rank of whites, far outdistanc-
ing Dorothy Eckford, which was hitherto
considered the finest white. This variety
has the same bold, wavy standard as
Gladys Unwin.

Mrs. Alfred Watkins is a superb pink
of Gladys Unwin type, the same pale pin'k
color as the old Princess Beatrice, which
was thought so much of when it came
out many years ago; but the flowers of
Mrs. Alfred Watkins are so much larger,
and have . the beautiful, bold, wavy
standard of Gladys Unwin. It will be
one of the best market varieties for cut
bloom.

Frank Dolby is a lovely pale blue,
the same shade as Lady Grisel Hamil-
ton but much larger, and, being also
bred from Gladys Unwin, it has the
same bold, wavy standard. It is the
largest and finest pale blue sweet pea.

E. J. Castle is a magnificent addition
to the Gladys Unwin class, with the same
large flowers and bold, wavy standard
of its parent. It is somewhat lighter
than John Ingman, but with rather more
salmon shading in the standard, and has
a lovely effect.

These varieties each produce 70 to 75
per cent of four blooms to a stalk.

BUBPBE'S BARLIEST WHITE— in contrast with "Mont Blanc" to the left.

New Sweet Pea-Burpee's "EARLIEST WHITE."

Comes into fall bloom in forty-five days after the seed is planted in the open ground. The
dwarf plants, sixteen to twenty inches high, are clad in rich, dark-green foliage, and carry a
profusion of the pure white flowers, borne ui>on strong 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 18th last Burpee' ■ Earliest White was in full bloom on July
Ist, Mbile Mont Bianc. planted the same day, was showing only a few buds. It is also won-
drously profuse-blooming.

TinT«r\Qo'a TTQ-rliocf Whii-o is not only as extremely early, but also just as hardy
DUiptJtJ B Jl<d,IliebL VVlllie as the famous plnk-and-white Burpee's Rarlieit of
All. it has black seed, and is really the only clear white Sweet Pea that has. This insures
a better stand, stronger and more thrifty plants.

T^nrr»aa'a TTQ-rliocf W^hifA will be welcomed by amateurs everywhere, both
-tJU-ipctJ S XL/dilllt/ol/ vv iliLt; account of its hardiness and because pure wt
Sweet Pea^can now be had so quickly from seed sown in the open ground.

latter, the plants under glass fCKln to bloom freely when onlv twelve inches high and con-
tinue to grow and flower profusely until, when six or eight feet tall, they reach the top of the
greenhouse; the plants can tben be cut back, if desired, and will make an equally vigorous
second growth. s^AU florists know, of courte, that the refular varieties of Tall Sweet
Peas are of no value whatever for forcing, if early flowers are desired."**

SWEET PEA -BURPEE'S "EARLIEST OF ALL."

Reselected— Extreme
Early.

Mr. Gould, the originator
of Burpee's Earliest t>f All,

has continued to develop the
earliness and dwarf babit. un-
til in this Reselected Extreme
Early we have a strain as
much earlier than Earliest of
All as that variety is ahead of
Extra Early Blanche Kerry,
which again is earlier than
the original Blanche Ferry.
The plants of this new strain
come into full flower when
only twelve inches high and
three to four weeks in ad-
vance of the first parent var-
iety.

In our Trial Grounds,
when the standard varieties of
Sweet Peas all came into
flower quite early (from
spring-sown seed), this Ex-
treme Early was in bloom on
June 3, the regular strain of
Earliest of All on June 9, and
Extra Early Blanche Ferry on
June 17. Under less favorable conditions the
difference in the period of flowering is even
more marked. For winter flowering In the
greenhouse It is the TEBV BEST of the popular
plnk-and-white U pe of flowers. Mr. Tbos. Gould
has grown this strain exclusively for us, and the
originator's seed of this Reselected can be had
only under our registered trade-mark seal. The
selection is made each season and hence this
strain is being constantly improved. H V Natural KIze—

MR. E. V. SIDELL,

. POUOHKKEPSIK, N. Y.

Dear Sir:— Having used your "powered char-
coal" in the composition of soil for Violets last
season, we are very much pleased with the result.

Havingusedit In place of "wood ash," we con-
sider its fertilizing properties more beneficial in
many ways, and the cost much less.

Its chemical action on the soil is marvelous,
being lasting on account of stirring up the other
fertilizing elements, absorbing their gases, and
again giving them off, for the nourishment of
plants.

We highly recommend the use of charcoal
powder to all interested in growing Violets.
Very truly yours.

THOS. DeVOY & SON.

Reamng, Pa. — Edgar H. Beears and
son Claude, of Rosedale, jointly cele-
brated their birthdays recently. The
father is 41 years old and the son 20.
A family dinner was given in honor of
the event, and the two men received a
number of presents.

San Francisco, Cal. — A shipment of
7,000 orchids arrived August 18 on the
transport Thomas, consigned to Presi-
dent Roosevelt. They are a present to
him from Manuel de Yriarte, a wealthy
Filipino planter. When Miss Alice
Roosevelt was in the Philippines some
time ago she visited this planter's con-
servatories and mentioned her father's
love for orchids. The magnificent col-
lection sent to the president is the

PITTSBURG.

ThcMaricct

August has treated the trade very
well; there has been just enough busi-
ness to keep them from worrying about
the heat, and with the exception of oc-
casional days, about enough flowers to
do the work, with prices low enough
to suit everybody. The only thing that
was short was good white asters, and as
carnations were out of commission the
shortage was more noticeable. If white
was scarce, however, pink was plentiful.
Good, bad, and rotten was about the
way you would classify them, and the
wonder is how some growers have the
nerve to send some of the stock into
the wholesale houses; however, it usually
reaches the place where it belongs, as
no one will buy it.

Kaiserins, Richmonds, Beauties, valley,
lilies, gladioli and asters are the stock
in trade, with plenty of all to go
around; it might be in place to say that
there are enough gladioli and asters to
go around several times, and then some.
Carnation plants do not seem so plenti-
ful. As usual, the Pittsburg Cut Flower
Co. reports its growers already sold out;
the same report comes from the east,
that many who are usually sellers are
buying this season.

Various Notes.

Harry Barnard, who was a visitor at
the Pittsburg Rose & Carnation Co., says
they have the finest lot of Killarney
roses he ever has seen.

L. I. Neff has been cutting a fine lot
of lilies, about as good as the stock at
Easter.

Julius Ludwig and family are at At-
lantic City. He will be missed from
the Pittsburg delegation to the conven-
tion.

Fred Burki offers his apology for
missing the convention. A real estate
deal will monopolize him during the con-
vention week.

John Dengler, one of Frank Faulk's
assistants, is camping with the Lotus
Club at Coehranton, Pa. Last week they
sent him a communication fifteen feet
long, signed by almost every one who
knew him. Every name had an appro-
priate line, such as "I hope you never
come back" — John Smith.

Miss E. B. Maxwell, of Wilkinsburg,
with a party of friends, has just com-
pleted an automobile trip to Conneaut
and return.

M. F. Stafford, of the south side, has
just returned from two weeks at Atlantic
City.

Randolph & ^NlcClements have pur-
chased about seven acres of ground in
one of the best locations in the east
end, and will proceed to erect a block
of houses at once, principally for palms,
ferns, and decorative stock; this was
made necessary by their lease expiring
on the Schenley Park greenhouses.

Hoo-Hoo.

OWEXSBORO, Ky. — The Nanz Floral Co.
has been formed to take over the whole-
sale and retail business of C. G. Nanz,
at 1007 Walnut street.

Garrettsville, O. — S. C. Templin will
erect a large addition to his range of
houses this fall. The new buildings will
be used for growing lettuce, for which
Mr. Templin has a large trade.

PACIFIC COAST.

SANFRANOSGO.

The Market

We have had a week of extremely
warm weather, and consequently there
has been a heavy cut of everything in
the flower line, with the possible excep-
tion of roses. Asters, which are usually
the most popular flowers at this time,
are overplentiful. I have never seen
them offered in such large quantities at
such low prices. In quality they are
up to the mark. The only problem in-
volved is that there are too many grown
for the demand.

There is a temporary falling off in
carnations. Many of our growers are
changing their houses at this time, and
there has not been an oversupply, a
fact, especially noticeable in the better
sorts. A slight rise in price might also
be noted. The growers have advanced
their rates, to the stores about 5 cents
per dozen, on the greater part of the
stock.

Lilies of all kinds are of slow sale.
Amaryllises can be bought at any price,
and Lilium album and L. rubrum
are being offered to the stores by the
Japanese growers at ruinous prices. Sev-
eral large batches of valley are in now,
and they meet with a fair demand. Sweet
peas are of short stem and also short
demand. They are getting poor since
we have had such warm weather.

Other kinds of hardy stock are well
out of bloom. Gladioli, dahlias and
coreopsis are practically over for the
season. Cosmos has made its appearance,
and is being used quite extensively in
the decoration of shop windows. Busi-
ness is quiet, but all signs point to a
revival in the near future.

LANDSCAPE GARDENING.

Sidewalk Trees.

It is plain, from the inquiries being
made by people having large frontages
on public highways, as well as from
various improvement clubs in the neigh-
borhoods of our large cities, that there
is much interest being developed in the
way of beautifying our public sidewalks,
and considerable planting will undoubt-
edly be done this coming season. Up
to this time there has been but little
co-operation between the owners of large
tracts of land, and jtnuch confusion has
resulted in the absence of fixed ideas
regarding the various suitable trees, as
well as the care required after planting.

Igoorance Catises Waste of Money.

The majority of the people who plant
are woefully ignorant regarding the care
required to get .i tree started so that
it will in a measure take care of itself
after a certain time. Much money has
been wasted in promiscuous planting and
making no preparations for caring for
the planted stock. In this section of
California it is absolutely necessary that
a tree should be taken care of for the
first season at least, or until it gets
well established in the ground. Com-
mercialism is usually the dominant factor
in the entire proceeding. The owner
orders so many trees of such a size
as he wants and gives the order to the
lowest bidder. He probably has them
planted by the person who will do the
work the cheapest — just as he would
order a fence built. The trees are cov-
ered up and no attention is paid to them
and as the result of a shortness of moist-
ure in the summer usually about fifty
per cent succumb. The following season
he probably will order trees for the
ones that died, which are usually re-
placed by a much smaller size, making
a miserable collection of freak speci-

mens. This applies probably more to
civic societies and improvement clubs
than it does to private planters, but the
percentage in all cases is greatly in the
majority, and this accounts for the great
number of poorly planted sidewalks
which are often the point of ridicule
from our eastern visitors.

Better Choice of Trees Needed.

Californians are proverbially short-
sighted. In their ornamental plantings
the idea of making arrangements for
the proper caring for sidewalk trees for
at least a season after they are planted
seems never to enter their heads. We
are young in that line of work, and
nature has been so prodigal with her
gifts in the floral line that due regard
for lasting effects is rarely taken into
consideration.

When a proposition for street planting
is entertained, either by a society organ-
ized foj the purpose or by a number of
property owners, there should always
be a landscape gardener within call, for
of all the queer ideas ever broached by
the dear public, the enthusiastic lot own-
ers who honestly wish to improve their
localities certainly take the cake.

club attended by the writer a few months
ago, in which great enthusiasm was
shown by the members, there were sug-
gested for the planting of several miles
of sidewalks the following trees: Ash,
Monterey cypress, weeping willow,
Acacia mollissima, Brahea filamentosa,
Phoenix Canariensis and several varieties
of gum trees. Surely there is a virgin
field here for a landscape architect, and
although we have many good men in
that line in California, the public has
up to this time not felt the necessity of
calling on them for advice in many cases,
and much valuable time and money have
been wasted by the promiscuous plant-
ing of such assortments of trees as I
have just mentioned. G.

PORTLAND, ORE.

Further 'Wanderings.

The cordial reception which greeted
our visits everywhere inspired us to ex-
plore still further, and not until this
month were we aware of the large num-
ber of greenhouse establishments inside
the city limits. "We are not showing par-
tiality or passing up any one, and where
the street-car and automobile do not
traverse we go afoot.

Being too closely confined to every-
day duties during the busy season we
were prevented at an earlier date from
calling on Mr. Sibson at Sellwood, one
of the latest additions to the growers'
ranks. It is not quite two years since
At. Sibson started to build, and he now
has three 200-foot houses, four 100-foot
houses, besides the propagating house,
conceded by all to be the finest built
range of glass in Portland, and we are
going to watch it grow. We asked for
the foreman and were introduced to
Alfred Woodington, who came here from
Chicago in May to take charge of the
place, and he volunteered all the informa-
tion sought. Boses are a strong feature,
and Mr. Woodington has all the houses
planted with the most popular varieties,
best suited to our trade and climate.
Richmond and Kate Moulton, new here
and occupying two of the largest houses,
will be put to a thorough test. All
the accessories required by a model estab-
lishment are seen here, such as a minia-

ture Windsor Castle for the owner and
a new cottage for the foreman, spacious
packing houses and, in fact, a suitable
place for everything. The extent of the
grounds is twenty-five acres, all planted
to hardy stock, with roses predominating,
hence the fit title, the Sibson Rose Nurs-
eries.

Only a block away is Peter Johnson,
who moved here a year ago, and who has
more room to expand than he formerly
had in Albina. Peter sees more money
in carnations^ and grows for the whole-
sale trade.

After leaving here, we indulged in a
little physical culture; slid down the
embankment of the Willamette river,
swam across and climbed up Carson
heights to say "how do you do" to
Walch Bros. Here is a well-kept place
of 12,000 feet of glass. While located
between two cemeteries, this firm does
not cater to that class of trade, but
grows the choicest only in plants and
flowers, disposing of its stock to the
retail stores.

On our way home we made the
acquaintance of R. Riegelman, who owns
10,000 feet of glass on the Macadam
road. He was celebrating his seventy-
first birthday building a new greenhouse.
He thought he needed a tonic and asked
us to join him. Miscellaneous stuflf is
grown here, and is disposed of through
various channels by the two faithful
sons. Several neatly kept flower beds
give the place a most inviting appear-
ance. H. J. M.

DENVER.

The Market.

The last week has been a satisfactory
one for midsummer; in fact, all seem
to agree that almost every week there
is an advance over the corresponding
week a year ago. July showed the best
business for some years, and trade has
ueen fully as good as can be expected
all summer. The second crop of Ameri-
can Beauties has commenced to come
in from a few of the growers. While
there are few long-stemmed ones, the
short and medium are good. Brides and
Maids are not yet up to the standard,
and first-class stock finds ready sale.

Chatenays are good, as well as Liberty
and Richmond. Carnations have seen
better days, and the stock received seems
to be growing smaller every day.

Asters are in large supply, and take
the place of carnations, the purple and
white being particularly good, while
pink is small and short-stemmed. The
prices are from 60 cents to $1 per
hundred. Gladioli are fine, and sweet
peas are plentiful, bringing but 5 cents
per bunch retail.

Various Notes.

James F. Crossen died at La Junta,
Colo., August 17. He formerly worked
for H. W. Wipperman, of Brooklyn,
and later worked for Herman Kubn, of
New York city. Coming west, he was
with the Park Floral Co. until about
six months ago, when he went into busi-
ness for himself at La Junta, Colo., at
which place he died.

B. E. Gillis, of the Park Floral Co.,
and W. W, Wilmore, of the dahlia farm,
are at Colorado Springs this week acting
as judges for the El Paso County Hor-
ticultural Society, the former as judge
for sweet peas, the latter for dahlias.

The Park Floral Co. had a nice lot
of valley which has cleaned up well.
Dahlias are now seen at their best in
all colors, bringing $1 per hundred and
retailing for 35 cents per dozen.

W. C. Walters is cutting some fine
asters, having perhaps the largest supply
in town.

A. Gude and W, F. Gude, of Washing-
ton, D. C, were visitors last week, on
their way to the southern part of the
state, where they have extensive mining
interests. They were driven about the
city and out to the dahlia farm of W.
W. Wilmore by J. A. Valentine. They
were much impressed by the immense
number of dahlias grown, as well as
the varieties and excellent quality. They
expect to return by way of Dayton, and
to attend the convention.

A. H. Bush has been oflf on a fishing
trip, and since his return was around
town showing results that indicate con-
siderable skill and some luck. E. S. K.

Philadelphia, Pa.— C. H. Clark, Jr.,
will rebuild two greenhouses, the cost
of the improvements to be $2,000. •

Chattanooga, Tenn., and was attended
by about 100 nurserymen and their
wives. The election of officers took place
on the morning of the second day, and
those put in nomination by the commit-
tee were unanimously elected. John A.
Young, of Greensboro, N. C, was made
president; he was last year's vice-presi-
dent. C. N. Griffin, of Jacksonville, Fla.,
is the new vice-president, and C. T.
Smith was re-elected secretary-treasurer.
The convention voted to meet in Rich-
mond, Va., in August of next year.

The first session of the Chattanooga
meeting was taken up with President
Orlando Harrison's opening address,
papers by J. A. Young and others, and
discussions of questions brought up.
President Harrison urged co-operation
among nurserymen, and said that a uni-
form system of grading was what the
trade needed worst. Mr, Young spoke
on "The Retail Nurserymen's Success
or Failure." He touched on the ques-
tion of free seed distribution by the
government, and expressed his hope that
the practice can be abolished if it is
agitated enough.

The committee appointed to deal with
the free seed question drew up resolu-
tions condemning the practice. A com-
mittee on legislation was appointed, to
co-operate with similar committees of
other associations in the matter.

The question of whether the Alabama
immigration law should be adopted in
other states was covered by Herbert
Chase, of Huntsville, Ala., and a dis-
cussion of the matter followed. Taking
negro laborers from one state to another
under contract was condemned. Prof.
R. I. Smith, of Atlanta, told of the
work being done by other societies
toward the adoption of a uniform tag,
and discussed the question of state nurs-
erymen's licenses.

J. C. Miller, of the auditing commit-
tee, reported $254.43 on hand, and Treas-
urer Smith said that collections would
bring the sum up to $300.

HOLLYHOCaCS.

Seeds for bloom next year should be
sown by the middle of July, and when
transplanted to the blooming bed the
seedlings should be given, for best ef-
fect, a space of not less than eighteen
inches each way. Hollyhocks are peren-
nial and fairly hardy, but the finest"
blooms are borne on young plants, so it
is better to start a new lot each season.
They thrive in any good garden soil, but
appreciate reasonable fertilization with
fine rotted manure and clean cultivation
throughout the growing season. The

finest strain has been developed by
Chater, the English nurseryman, and his
varieties are everywhere offered by seeds-
men. They come in colors, from snow
white to all conceivable shades of red
and yellow, and include ashy grays and
maroon blacks. Varieties differ in vigor
and stature, but the average height is
about four feet.

These highly developed hollyhocks are
quite subject to a destructive imported
fungus disease known as hollyhock rust,
which often attacks the plants just be-
fore blooming, causing the leaves to
brown and wither, and hinders the de-
velopment of the flowers. Bordeaux
mixture, freely applied before infection,
has proved quite efficient in staying the
trouble, but is highly objectionable, as
it disfigures the foliage and blooms.
Hollyhock rust has, however, either di-
minished in virulence or additional vigor
has been bred in the good varieties, as
there appears to be less uncertainty in
their culture now than ten years ago.

Several years ago Peter Henderson &
Co. introduced a strain of early and
continuous blooming varieties. W. Van
Fleet says that on the trial grounds of
the Rural New-Yorker he has repeatedly
grown this race and regards it as of the
highest value to those who do not care
to risk the uncertainties of a year's
growth before blooming. While peren-
nial under good protection, they flower
so promptly from spring-sown seed,
showing blooms by July or August and
continuing until frost, that they may
very properly be treated as annuals.
There is a great range of color, and
the blooms vary in different plants from
single to fully double, both with and
without the usual flat outer guard
petals. In rich soil the plants are of
surprisingly thrifty growth, the main
spike rising over eight feet high, re-
maining a long time in bloom, and is
succeeded by many branches from the
base, thus furnishing a succession of
flowers until growth ceases. While very
fine for cutting and garden decoration
the flowers have scarcely the finish of
the choicer perennial varieties. As they
furnish such a great quantity of bloom
in a comparatively short growing period
they need a plentiful supply of nourish-
ment and should be freely watered in
dry weather.

The Weekly Florists* Review^

August 23, 1906.

NEV ORLEANS.

On the instruction of Vice-President
C. W. Eichling, of the Society of South-
ern Florists, J. Steckler, treasurer, called
a meeting of the local members for
Thursday, August 16. The most impor-
tant point was to come to an under-
stanamg about the time which would be
the most proper to call the first con-
vention. After a close discussion on the
subject it was decided to have it on
November 15, provided special reduced
rates on the railroads could be obtained.
A committee of three, H. Papworth, J.
Steckler and J. H. Menard, was ap-
pointed to confer with the railroads.

Charles Eble made a motion, which
was seconded by many members, to issue
a general invitation to florists, without
any distinction between north or south,
to be present at our first convention,
this invitation to be distributed among
the florists by some of our local mem-
bers when at the convention in Dayton.

Business is dull. There will be no
monthly meeting of our society before
October. The chrysanthemum crop seems
to be promising, from different reports
so far. The quantity planted is large.

INDIANAPOLIS.

There is not much to report this week,
business being very dull. All who can
are taking their vacations and getting
ready for another season, which will be
on hand before we realize it.

The Tomlinson Hall market shows the
effect of the summer season, so many
of the stands being unoccupied. In a
few weeks all this will change, and the
market will be as busy as ever.

The aster disease from all reports is
worse than it 'has been; several florists
have lost nearly all they planted.

The next stop . is Dayton. ' ' I don 't
know where I 'm going, but I 'm on my
way" Daytonwards, where I hope to
meet many friends and make new ones.
This should be the largest convention
the S. A. F. ever has held. Here 's
luck to it. S.

TROUBLE VITH ASTERS.

Will you please tell me what the trou-
ble is with these aster plants I send?
They have burnt tips on the petals and
leaves, and rusty stems, and keep dying
oflf all the time. I think it is from the
scorching hot weather we had two weeks
ago. They also have been bothered
badly with the black aster beetle. There
has been no end to hand-picking them
off. I used Paris green, one teaspoonful
to ten quarts of water. Can that be the
trouble? The Eeview states one tea-
spoonful to two gallons is safe to use.
Would you advise me, for I always like
to save seed from my own flowers?

J. V.

According to our experience, you are
correct in believing that your trouble is
due to dry weather. We have a block of
late asters on a sandy, elevated piece of
ground, that are affected in a similar
way. Asters must have plenty of mois-
ture if good results are expected. We
believe most of the diseases they are
affected with are due to lack of it.

We have had no experience with the
black aster beetle, but should advise
spraying with Paris green in the pro-
portions mentioned, once a week from
the time the plants are established in
June, for there seems no doubt but what
they breed among the plants. We should
not advise saying seed from these weak-
ened plants, but when the stock is clean,
as that is a good beginning in growing
line asters. G. J. B.

NORTHERN TEXAS.

This week does not bring a very favor-
able report from some parts of this
section; continued rains have damaged
crops greatly. Cotton, the staple crop,
is suffering fj-om repeated rains, until
some predict almost a total loss. In
a trip through Oklahoma, I saw the
rivers out of their banks and almost
completely covering both corn and cot-
ton, and the fear is that the crops will
rot before the water subsides.

In our line, stock is looking well. Car-
nations are in first-class shape on high
ground, where the water can drain;
but in the low-lands they are not look-
ing so well, as the hot sun coming after
a rain almost cooks them. Boses in
the field are doing well, and will com-
mence soon to increase their blooming.
Vincas, snapdragons, and that class of
plants are in full bloom and are getting
better every day. Funeral work is near-
ly all that is doing just now. All
the places I have visited show marked
improvement in cleaning up, and the
progressive man has everything in readi-
ness for the planting season.

The Texas Nursery Co. has almost
completed its new range, and it adds
quite a bit to the appearance of the
place.

H. O. Hannah and wife, of Sherman,
who have been on their vacation at Sul-
phur, Okla., have returned to their home
looking in fine health for the season's
work. Narcissus.

SPRINGFIELD, OHIO.

As a forerunner of the Dayton con-
vention, numerous delegations from dis-
tant eastern and southern points have
arrived in Springfield a day in advance
(Monday) and are visiting the extensive
greenhouses of the Good & Keese Co.,
the McGregor Bros. Co. and other plant-
growing establishnients. This affords to
members of the S. A. F. an opportunity
of seeing the sources of supply from
which they have drawn for many years
past and more fully realizing the im-
portauce of this market in the shipment
of plants.

The Leedle Floral Co. is erecting two
new houses :10xl52 feet and a lean-to
lOxlOJj feet. The space gained will be
devoted to the housing of rose plants.

Ge Dale.

El Paso, III.— The El Paso Carna-
tion Co. has just completed a new house
.SOxlOO, and has most of it planted.
The range is steam heated, from two
forty hor.se-power boilers. The trans-
jrortation facilities are excellent at this
firm's place; two railroads unload sup-
plies at its doors. C. L. W. Snyder,
the manager, says they expect to build
two more houses next year, for lettuce
and other vegetables. Onion culture will
he a specialty.

ROCHESTER. N. Y.

The Market

Business here is practically at a stand-
still. Asters, gladioli, roses and dahlias
are coining in large quantities. So far
prices have run fairly well, with the
exception of roses. These can be bought
at one's own price.

Carnations are being housed now, and
the popular varieties in this section are
the new pink Enchantress, Lawson and
Lady Bountiful. Enchantress has proved
the best paying proposition in this local-
ity and is being planted more extensively
than ever. Sweet peas are still coming
in, but on account of poor climatic con-
ditions are of poor quality; sales are
nothing to brag of.

Variout Notes.

Keller Bros, are going into herbaceous
stock on a great scale. They find, like
other concerns, that there is a large and
ever increasing demand for this class of
goods and have got up a stock of all
the most popular sorts. Mike Keller
is enjoying himself in Canada on a well
earned vacation.

Fred Vick, of Vick & Hill, and
Charles Vick, of James Vick's Sons, are
attending the Dayton convention.

George Hart, our only cut flower com-
mission man, has become the possessor
of a new heir, and a male one at that,
so that there are chances for the cut
flower man to dispose of his goods after
George has joined the ethereal crowd.
Mother and baby are both doing weU.

Omaha, Neb. — The annual picnic of
the OmaJia Florists' Club was held
Thursday, August 16, at Krug's park.
Lunch was served at 6 p. m. The after-
noon and evening were pleasantly spent
by the florists who attended and their
families.

MuNCiE, Ind. — Prizes have just been
awarded in a novel contest instituted last
spring by the Muncie Floral Co. for the
most beautiful porch-box. Cash prizes
of $10 and $5 had been offered by the
company. The city was divided into
four districts, and the best two in each
district got the prizes. William Brad-
ley, of Elwood, and John Leacn, of
Hartford City, acted as judges.

When You Go to Philadelphia

AND DREER'S PI«ACE AT RIVERTON, DON'T FAIL TO SEE THE

SKINNER IRRIGATION SYSTEM

in operation, and ask their opinion of it. The first and best system for either inside or outside work.

Mil. C. W. Skinner, Troy, O. Dear Slr-The enclosed cut ehowa the Skinner Mechanical Watering' System at work under a pressure of 60
pounds or over. It shows a very flne spray like a mist. The perforated pipe working on a brass union can be turned In any direction and thus
everything Is watered evenly. It never bakes the ground and waters much more evenly tban would be possible In hand watering. In fact, I don't
see how It could be Improved on. We ai*e watering some three acres outside and will ht up a range of glass for Inside watering. Will report
later. Some of the market gardens around here are watering & acres and are well pleased. Very truly, T. C. Jot, Nashville, Tenn., Aug. 20, 1906.

Mb. C. W. Skinneh, Troy, O. Dear Sir— Tour system of Irrigation Installed on our gardens three years ago has given us entire satisfaction,
bringing us 1300.00 a year more than previous years, which alone would more than pay for the entire system. For the last two years we have been
putting out cabbage three weeks earlier than usual and both years have been caught In several freezes with temperature of 20 degress, but with
the aid of the Skinner System, using warm water, pumping It all night, we saved our crop from total loss while our nefyhborlng gardens lost
entire crops valued from KOO.OO to $600.60, while we gained the profit through the Skinner system. Also tomatoes, beans, SQUash, were all pro-
tected. We don't believe we could grow a crop of lettuce indoors without the Skinner System. In short we would not do without it for four times
the cost. We will gladly show any one Interested your System at our gardens. Yours truly, Arnold Schmid h Son, Nashville, Teim., Aug. 20, 1906.

GRUBS IN SOIL.

In an experience of forty years at the
nursery business I had never been trou-
bled by the white grub-worm until last
year. Can some of you nurserymen or
florists tell me how to rid the soil of
them? They destroyed hundreds of
aster plants for me last season, and are
doing the same thing this year. They
eat the roots, and also the bark, from
the stems of the plants beneath the
soil. They not only destroy young
plants, but plants which are full-grown
and in bloom.

A year ago this spring the ground
was heavily manured with barnyard
manure, but not this spring, except with
a surface coating of cow manure be-
tween the rows, the manure being fresh
and not supposed to be infested with
grubs or their larvse.

I have lost by them a few chrysanthe-
mums this season; other kinds of plants
are not much affected. Must I resort
to commercial fertilizers, or can the
barnyard manure be treated in a way to
destroy or prevent them? J. C. H.

We regret very much that we can
give no information that would help in
fighting the grubs. In reply to the
question about the use of commercial
fertilizers, we can answer only in this
way: We are obliged to depend almost
entirely on commercial fertilizers on
asters, and are not troubled with grubs;
but we do not offer that as a remedy,
or even as a preventive.

We think this must be the grub that
often attacks strawberry plants. Bul-
letin 189, of Cornell University Agricul-
tural Experiment Station, Ithaca, N. Y.,
might give you some information.

White Bros.

Tarrytown, N. Y.— F. R. Pierson
feels himself tied down by the fact that,
the work on his big new houses is be-
hind the schedule. He had expected to
have them planted by August 1, but it
will be nearly the end of the month be-
fore all is complete.

ABAUCA.RIA8, the best decorative plants
Nature produces, our specialty.

Bvery man in businesB and life, to be auccesa-
ful, must adopt one tblns as his specialty and
that specialty, of whatever nature it may be, he
must guard, study and push to such an extent
that it not only benefits himself but he must con-
tinue It ao every one who seeks his aid, services
or his article, which he advertises or practices,
will share a slice of his activity and prosperity.
I made the importation and cultivation of arau-
carlas a special study in my life. The figures
below will show my success in business from
the first year; by commencing with an Importa-
tion of 360 and now, the eleventh year, my impor-
tation has grown up to 6,000 (come and see it),
the reason being that the araucaria grows yearly
more in favor with the plant consuming people all
over the country, as a most admired decorative
plant for the parlor, bed-room, dining and sitting-
rooms. stores and hotels, lawns and porches.
The outlook will be of an importation of at least
8,000 to 10,000 in spring of 1907. To secure this
vast amount for 1907, 1 am now on the ocean, per
Steamer New Amsterdam, having left Hoboken
Aug. 16, striking for Belgium, to make contracts
for next year. I shall also bring over with me at
the same time, a large lot of choice Azalea Indlca
and Palms, etc., for Christmas and Easter forc-
Inr. No money will be spared to secure for my
customers the cream of the Belgium greenhouses
only.

Dear Slr:-

Aa per your request we give our experience with

To-BeJc-Ine Liquid aa a apray for Thrlp. We used two tabelapoonful

of the liquid to a gallon of water, and found fourteen gallons

dufflolent for a house of Brides 25x300 ft. We applied this about

two or three days apart, and found It cleaned the Thrlp completely

out of the house. Since then 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 future, as it does the work so much better than smoking.

Your 8 very respectfully.

(^zt-.^^tM^ho-'^'J^^^^^^^-^

Spray! Spray! With To-Bak-lne Liquid

A positive destroyer of Thrips, Greenfly and Red Spider. DIRECTIONS— Based on a house 25x100—4 tea-
tpooniuls to a gallon of water, used three times the first week and twice each week thereafter, will absolutely keep your houses
clean from insects. Use a good air or compressed sprayer with a misting nozzle. We recommend Our Simplex 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 Liquid? It is the only 45^ solution on
the market and has other valuable features found in no otbtor nicotine solution. Send for our bookUt, "Flowers and
Profit," giving full particulars and directions, cost, the best method of spraying and the best sprayer.

EXIT THE BELLOWS.

The bellows is no more. Our dear, de-
parted friend did good service so long
as there was no better way of applying
powders to plants, but with the advent
of the Peerless blower, an invention by
S. J. McMichaels, a well-known Chicago
grower, the old bellows quickly passed
to innocuous desuetude. The blower
bandies sulphur, tobacco dust, Paris
green or any powder, and is handled by
practically every seedsman, the manu-
facturers, E. E. McMorran & Co., Chi-
cago, reporting that they have supplied
electrotypes .to nearly every house that
issues'a catalogue indluding iosecticides.

SHEEP MANURE.

Edward A. Lake, general counsel for
the Pulverized Manure Co., Chicago,
states that his company takes direct
issue with the assertion in a contem-
porary to the effect that sheep at the
Chicago Stock Yards are fed T\heat
screenings, with the result that the
manure is of poor fertilizing quality.
Mr. Lake asserts that no wheat screen-
ings ever are fed any live stock at the
Yards and sheep there are fed hay and
sometimes corn and oats.

ROMNEYA COULTERI.

This plant is not generally regarded
as one of the easiest of cultivation, but
when success is attained the result is
specially gratifying. At the time of
writing Bomneya Coulteri is the most
charming subject in my garden, says a
writer in the Gardeners' Chronicle.
Nearly 200 flowers are open at once,
and of the buds there are as many
again to open. Some idea may be ob-
tained of the effect and fragrance by
any one acquainted with the Californian
poppy. Little difficulty has been experi-
enced in cultivating the plants. It is
always necessary, however, to make a
good start and iu a suitable site. The
position chosen here is under a terrace
wall having a southwest aspect. At the
foot of the wall a trench of two and
one-half feet was taken out, and a drain-
age of broken bricks and lime rubble
to a depth of one foot was returned, on
the top of which a very porous compost,
consisting of turfy loam and road grit
in equal proportions, together with
plenty of finely broken brick and lime
rubble, well incorporated, was placed.
These conditions allow of the applica-
tion of copious supplies of diluted farm-
yard soakage during the season of
growth, but insure a dry bottom dur-
ing the resting period, which is most
essential. Six plants planted four
years ago have each season be-
come stronger, and this season
growths eight feet and nine feet in
length, strong and healthy looking, have
been made.

The Morehead Trap

^3HE morehead is an automatic tilting return steam trap especially designed for
Ui use of florists and greenhouse owners. Installed in connection with the green-
house steam heating plant it will keep the pipes entirely free from water of con-
densed steam. The quick and prompt removal of condensation insures drier and more
effective heating surfaces — an even heat in all parts of the system is the result. The
return of condensation to the boilers is effected regardless of the position of the returns,
whether above or below the water line in the boilers. :: :: :: :: :; ::

NOT LUCK OR "HAPPEN SO"

mAS BEEN responsible for the remarkable growth of our business
and given us so large a number of satisfied customers. It is not
the result of getting promiscuous orders here, there, anywhere,
anyhow — all profit or no profit at all — it is clearly due to the high qual-
ity of our material and the "square deal." Please bear in mind that of
the forty years we have been in this business every one has seen an
increase of orders. The manufacture of greenhouse material is our
whole business — not a side line. We print this in the hope that you will
inquire further. Our catalogue will be sent if you are interested.

PECKY CYPRESS.

John Schillo, president of the Adam
Scaillo Lumber Co., Chicago, says the
demand for pecky cypress has become
something beyond all anticipation. It
was only a few years ago that his firm
brought from the south the first of this
lumber for greenhouse bench material.
The growers were slow to take it up be-
cause of its ill appearance, but its en-
during qualities have been fairly dem-
onstrated, and now about all the big
growers are using it and many of the
smaller ones are building bench bottoms
of it. This spring quite a number of
buyers were disappointed because they
had not realized the necessity of placing
advance orders for pecky cypress. One
of these was the E. G. Hill Co., which
had planned to build of this material
all the benches in its big new range.
Sixty days being required to get the cy-
press, cement was resorted to.

Mr. Schillo says that growers who
know that they will require more or
less bench material in the early spring
should place their orders now to be sure
of getting what they want on time.
There is no other use for pecky cypress
and no lumber dealer buys any consider-
able quantity beyond that necessary to
take care of the orders in sight. Then,
too, he must place his orders months in
advance at the mills. Pecky cypress,
like any other cypress, is open-air-dried
in the south. The mills do not ship
until the weight of the cypress is re-
duced to three pounds to the foot, board
measure. Not only is this of importance
as affecting the quality of the lumber,
but it cuts a big figure in freight. The
tariff from Louisiana to Chicago is 26

BOUVARDIA.

I want to raise a bench of bouvardia
for cut flowers this winter. Please give
me the following information: What
temperature do I need? What kind of
soil? Do they do best planted on bench
or in pots? What varieties do best and
pay best? J. A. K.

These are not easy to transplant;
therefore I hope you have them growing
in your own garden. The bouvardia ia
a tropical plant. You can get one crop
at a temperature of 50 degrees at night,
but if you expect them to go on flower-
ing and growing after Christmas you
must give them at least 60 degrees at
night. Their feeding roots are hair-like
fibres; therefore, the soil should be a
sandy loam, enriched with sifted animal
manure. By all means grow them on a
bench in five inches of soil. You will
get but a meager lot of flowers in pots.

Bouvardiaa should be benched in the
first week of September, when if fre-
quently sprayed they will soon start
roots, but if left until the end of the
month, when cool nights are expected,
they are slow to take hold of the new
soil. If they continue to wilt for two
weeks after being benched pinch two or
three joints off the strongest growths.

We Want You to Get
Some Sort of an Idea

of the size of our factory so you will never make the mistake
of thinking that we are sort of " sash and blind makers," way off
here in the east, with greenhouses as a side line. All that plant
with its immense wood-working mill, foundry (just doubled in size)
s§t-up shop, iron frame shop, galvanizing sheds, storage sheds, and
so on, covering acres of ground and ending with those millions of
feet of cypress as a background — all go to show that we have sort
of grown up — reached a point where we are " wearing long pants "
and manufacturing about everything the florist wants or needs —
but what we wanted to say particularly was, just a reminder of our
Burnham Boilers — now is the time. We absolutely know that
from ease of care to economy of fuel there's not a boiler that can
match it for greenhouse work.

It's a case of— no long bolts— no headers— no gas-
kets—no large clean-out doors to warp- no Inacces
slble placeb— no clinker jamming grates— no regula-
ting of damper from the back.

Everything compact, handy, sensible, practical,
right wnere you can put your hands on all working
parts without taking a step. But don't put off order-
ing.

National Flower Show.

On Thursday evening the discussion
of the national flower show was a spe-
cial order of business. Eobert Craig
reported on the inception of the idea
and its development at Washington last
year. He told of the favor with which
the idea had been received and of the
prompt response, up to a certain point,
to the call for subscriptions to the guar-
antee fund of $10,000 which it was
proposed to raise. He stated that what
is most needed is a man to lead the en-
terprise, and said that the committee
which has done the work thus far recom-
mends that a capable man be hired to
give his time to it. He said that a
schedule had been prepared for a March
show, but that the idea had reluctantly
to be abandoned. The committee now
recommends a November show, discon-
tinuing the August convention and hold-
ing the society's business session at
the later date. After considering the
possibilities at New York, Philadelphia,
Boston and other cities it was decided
to recommend that the first national
show be held in Chicago. It was recom-
mended that $3,000 to $4,000 be offered
in premiums of sufficient value to bring
all the novelties from Europe. It was
proposed that a general premium list
be issued at once for a show in 1908.

E. G. Hill followed Mr. Craig. He
said he looks for the proposed move to
double the society's membership and
that it should have 1,000 life members.
He said the people in their demands for
floriculture and horticulture are ahead
of the profession. He told his phenom-
enon story as illustrating the success
the show will be in bringing all de-
partments of the trade in step with the
march of progress.

Others spoke along the same lines
and E. V. Hallock argued for calling it

an international show. The following
resolution was then adopted:

Resolved, that if the proposed exhibi-
tion be held, it shall be in the month
of November, 1908, in the city of Chi-
cago; that the date of the annual meet-
ing be changed from August to Novem-
ber, so that the exhibition and meeting
be held at the same place and date; that
the executive committee be empowered
to put this resolution into effect.

There was some further discussion
as to whether or not the society might
treat so off-handedly as weighty a sub-
ject, the date of the annual meeting
being provided for in the by-laws, which
are only amendable by due process. But
it was a hot night, November sounded
good and the whole matter was passed
up to the executive committee to take
such action as it may deem best.

Qosiiig Sessions.

Thursday evening George Asmus,
who had managed the bowling tourna-
ment most successfully, reported for the
committee on sports. Secretary Stewart
read the report of the superintendent
of the trade exhibition. It simply enu-
merated the exhibitors and their ex-
hibits.

An invitation from the Society of
Southern Florists was read, as follows:

The Society of Southern Florists and Orna-
mental Horticulturists was organized at Chatta-
noojja, Tenn., May 22, 1906. The objects are
similar to those of the Society of American Flo-
rists and intended to advance trade in the south
and a better acquaintance between all engaged,
directly or indirectly, in the business.

The society will hold its first convention In
the city of New Orleans, November 15 to 17,
1906. In connection with this convention a trade
exhibit will be held to which a cordial invita-
tion is extended to every member of the S. A. F.,
and a hope is expressed that they will take part
In the exhibit and show the southern florists
what they have to offer. The southern florists
will not merely make this visit Interesting, but
will take advantage of the occasion to show
what the south can produce.

This had the signatures of President

R. C. Berckmans and the following New
Orleans members: C. W. Eichling, Jos.
Steckler, Harry Papworth, Otto Abele,
J. A. Newsham, and Harry Elwell. It
was referred to the executive committee.

P. J. Hauswirth, for the committee
on life members' badges, presented an
acceptable sketch and quotation of
prices. After some discussion of the
desirability of having a special badge
for life members, the matter was re-
ferred to the executive committee with
power to act.

The new officers were introduced, save
the vice-president, with whom the notifi-
cation committee had failed to connect.
Each was presented with more or less
of the flowers of oratory and each
pledged himself to do as did Cheyenne
Charlie, above whom, when his course
was run, there was inscribed by stead-
fast friends: "He done his damnedest;
angels couldn't have did no more."

On Friday morning a brief session
was held in the shade of a tree while
most of the members were touring the
cash register factory. There was in-
quiry as to who is now charged with
responsibility for pushing the national
flower show, and no thoroughly satis-
factory answer, as the executive board
and committee on guarantee fund seem
to share the burden,

Edwin Lonsdale, Peter Bisset and Wil-
liam Miller reported on the outdoor
displays, enumerating the exhibits as
mentioned in last week's Review, and
one there omitted — a bed of Canna Mrs.
W. F. Kasting, exhibited by W. F. Kast-
ing. It was recommended that a cer-
tificate of* merit be awarded Nathan
Smith & Son for Canna Director Holtz
and a silver medal to John Freuden-
berg, for the arrangement and care of
the' grounds. It was stated that five
exhibitors' occupied 2,800 square feet of.
beds and .from two to four men from
the N. C. E. staff of gardeners had
been employed on the grounds all sum-
mer. It was recommended that the
feature be continued at future conven-
tions to ascertain its possibilities as a
business proposition.

E. V. Hallock, P. J. Hauswirth and
Peter Bisset presented final resolutions
e.\pressive of the appreciation of the
society for the good work of the Day-
ton Florists' Club and the hospitality of
the people. Especial thanks were ten-

The Weekly Florists' Review-

AUGUST 30, 1906.

dered the National Cash Register Co.
for its entertainment and a separate
set of resolutions was ordered engrossed
for presentation to John M. Patterson,
expressive of the society's appreciation,
not only of his courtesies to the S. A. F.
but recognizing his great work for the
extension of the love of floriculture and
the welfare of the community. It was a
recognition well deserved.

Presentations.

At the session Thursday evening a
pleasant feature was the presentation
of a chest of silver to President Kast-
ing. It was where J. D. Carmody
blooms perennially. He said, being a
foundryman, he is somewhat in the cast-
ing business, and it must not be thought
he was casting about for any other job
because he now took so much pleasure in
presenting silver castings to President
Kastmg, for the equal enjoyment of
Mrs. Kasting and the little Kastings.

When the recipient had replied, Robert
Craig took the floor and presented to
the retiring secretary, William J. Stew-
art, a purse of gold as an evidence of the
many friendships he had formed during
his twenty years in oflSce.

Friday afternoon the exhibitors pre-
sented to Horace J. Frank a lily bulb.
Col. Castle gave him a little talk about
Harrisii being scarce this year and told
him it was about the finest bulb of the
crop, and it was, for between the scales
were nice, crisp greenbacks to the
amount of $65. The exhibitors were
all well pleased with Mr. Frank's man-
agement and took this way of showing
it.

Trade Exhibits.

Trade exhibits continued to come in
right up to the closing day. In addi-
tion to the long list reported last week,
there were the following:

E. A. Beaven, Evergreen, Ala., fade-
less moss and Southern decorative
greens.

A. C. Oelschig & Son, Savannah, Ga.,
rubber plants.

F. W. Griflin, Cleveland, 0., the Sabin
adjustable plant stand.

Lockland Lumber Co., Lockland, O.,
model greenhouse.

Growl Fern Co., Millington, Mass.,
ferns and cut evergreens.

S. S. Pennock, Philadelphia, table
of Asplenium Nidus-Avis, the bird 'a nest
fern.

Weed Supply Co., Dayton, pipe cut-
ters, threaders, etc.

Entertainments.

Many of those who went to Dayton
expected little in the way of entertain-
ment, having in mind that the resources
of the comparatively few florists there
were much smaller than in any city
previously visited. But the Daytonians
were not one jot behind those who have
entertained the society in former years
in the cordiality and generosity of their
hospitality. Aided by the cash register
people, who have an especial fondness
for florists, the entertainment committee
had really more than could be done jus-
tice to. There was something on every
minute the convention was not in ses-
sion.

Had it not been for the rain on
Tuesday night the president's reception
would have been a triumph. As it was
the supper, reception and lecture at
Welfare hall was a splendid alternative.
The illumination at Far Hills occurred
Thursday evening and was missed by

many who would have seen and appre-
ciated it had it taken place as scheduled.
It was a display not in the least de-
scribed by the word applied to it, illu-
mination, for the effect was not only
one of great beauty but the novelty of
the idea was most striking. The trees
on the splendid estate bore for the
occasion a crop of electric fruit in the
form and coloring of grapes, apples,
peaches, pears, etc.

On Wednesday the bowling contests
took place at two amusement parks.
Lunch was provided and the ladies were
not only taken out in special cars but
were given free admission to everything
in the parks while the men were bowl-
ing. Wednesday evening there was a
dance at the fair-groun(£ and on other
evenings music. Thursday the gunners
were entertained and the ladies were
taken to the matinee.

W. H. Horlacher.

(A popular and profrresalve Daytonlan.)

Friday morning was spent at the cash
register plant, where the cleanliness and
order must have inspired in many the
desire for better things in their own
bailiwick. In the afternoon several spe-
cial cars took the visitors for a ride
over the city lines, including a visit
to Dayton's other show place, the Sol-
dier's home, where Governor Thomas
held a reception. At Memorial hall
President Kasting thanked all concerned
in the generous hospitalities of the week.
He was followed by J. B. Heiss, presi-
dent of the Dayton Florists' Club, and
Charles Lutzenberger, chairman of the
entertainment committee, who said sim-
ply that it had been a pleasure for
Dayton to have the convention and to
do what could be done to add to the

enjoyment of the visitors. Inspection
was then made of the 600 acres of most
beautiful grounds, evidently the creation
of a thorough landscape gardener. This
was followed by a concert by the Home's
splendid band. It is a wonderful place,
but the visit was saddened by the
thought, which came to many, of the
6,000 old boys in blue waiting here in
the twilight of life for the only call
yet to come to them, to join the regi-
ments gone before to the already great
camp of the dead, just over the hill.

Shooting Q>ntest.

The gunners were not particularly ex-
pert, but they had a great deal of fun
Thursday afternoon. In the shoot for
teams of five men the Daytonians won
by a wide margin, the announced score
of 190 to 173 being viewed with sus-
picion. The individual scores were as
follows :

Brown, Richmond, Va 17

Seybold, Baltimore 14

Rodgers, Cincinnati 13

Hlbbard, Youngstown 12

Altlck, Dayton 12

Scott, Buffalo 11

Young, St. Louis 10

Relmels, New York 9

Herendeen, Geneva 7

Rasmussen, New Albany 6

Brown won a fine rifle, Seybold a
camera, Rodgers a fishing rod, Hibbard
a shooting jacket, Altick a sweater,
Scott a hunting coat. Young a hunting
knife, Reimels an axe, Herendeen a
cleaning rod and Rasmussen a wallet.

Final Individual Contest.

The high score men in the teams and
in the preliminary individual contest
had a warm contest Wednesday evening
for the diamond-studded championship
medal. It was won by W. H. Ernest,
of Washington. Two games were rolled,
total pins to count. The scores follow:

W. H. Ernest 363

C. L. Slebold 347

George Asmus 344

D. T. Connor 32S

C. Graham 320

W. Mansfield 317

J. J. Beneke 208

C. C. Pollworth 295

Cuttings and Seedlings.

Hot! Hot!! Hot!!! Hot!!!!

This week it is comfortably cool in
Dayton.

Foley's fans finely fitted feverish flo-
rists' fancies.

The cash register people were entitled
to some advertising out of it. It is
reported that they spent in the interests
of the convention as much money as the
total cost of certain recent and success-
ful conventions. Besides there are those
who say that John H. Patterson has
performed more real service in the ex-
tension of floriculture than has the S.
A. F. itself.

How true it is that all the real work
of the society is accomplished at the
meetings of the executive committee will
be seen from a perusal of the proceed-
ings of the Dayton convention. Prac-
tically every matter was disposed of
by : " Move it be referred to the execu-
tive committee." "Second the motion."
"All in favor." "Carried."

The badge book was distinctly all
right. It was a great convenience and
should be continued, though no official
action was taken to that end. In a few
years it will become a great help in the
collection of dues, for all intending to
attend a convention will wish to pay
soon enough to get their names and
numbers into the ba<1ge book. This year

over 150 badges were issued to new
members whose names were not in the
book.

During Col. Castle's eulogy of the all
but unanimous choice for president, a
non-member at the rear of the hall with-
drew in high dudgeon. He said he
wanted Roosevelt to run again.

Lion & Co., the New York ribbon men,
had a display at the Algonquin hotel
but would have done more business had
it been at the fair-grounds.

Nearly every exhibitor who was pres-
ent at Washington says his Dayton sales
footed up a better total, and some went
so far as to say that more actual busi-
ness was done than at any previous S.

A. F. convention.

But one and all they protest at the
admission of the general public, as was
done by thousands on Wednesday and
Thursday evenings. Not only was the
hall so packed as to preclude doing busi-
ness, but exhibitors were compelled to
protect their displays to prevent every-
thing being carried off by souvenir hunt-
ers. When we consider that Pennock
had on a small stand probably $2,500
worth of ribbons the force of the last
objection readily may be seen.

John Westcott was master of cere-
monies at a little blow-out given by H.

B. Beatty at the Algonquin hotel Thurs-
day evening. The silver cups won by
the Philadelphia bowlers were filled with
champagne and a fine lunch was spread.
During the evening the need of the
family of the late James Hartshorne
was brought up and the hat passed.
Mr. Beatty put in a 100-dollar bill and
the sum fealized was $265.

F. A. Herendeen came all the way
from Geneva, N. Y., in his automobile
and kept the machine busy giving his
friends a spin.

George Asmus lost a diamond stud
that cost $225. It is supposed to have
been in a shirt sent to the laundry.

The Wittbold watering device was
noted with interest by the many visitors
at the plant of the Miami Floral Co.

The call for a meeting to organize
a canna society was not productive of
results.

L. H. Kyrk, of Cincinnati, bought the
entire exhibit of Kice & Co.

By Wednesday the visitors began to
scatter, many making one-day trips to
near-by cities. Cincinnati was visited
by many and scores went to Bichmond
to see the Hill places.

Kroeschell's big boiler did not reach
Dayton at all, but a model served to
enable Fred Lautenschlager to take two
orders. A Kroeschell No. 11 will be in-
stalled in the White House conservatories
at Washington.

John Laver, of Erie, the sickest of
the many who felt the ill effects of the
heat and the peculiar water, was taken
to the Miami Valley hospital on Wednes-
day and got along nicely -despite alarm-
ing rumors.

11. M. Altick's 4-year-old son fell
Friday and broke his left arm.

SOME RECOLLECTIONS.

The Dayton Sessions.

Although by no means recovered from
the four days' Turkish bath at Dayton,
I want to comment on the many de-
lightful features of the twenty-second
convention of the S. A. F., now only
a pleasant memory.

The president's address was brief, but
full of practical suggestions, and I do

not remember an address that inspired
such lively discussion. The essays were
not long-winded, but were gems on their
respective subjects. The one on. " The
Private Gardener and His Work," by
Mr. Palmer, of Brookline, Mass., was
finely composed and ably delivered. If
It were possible for every private gar-
dener to conduct himself according to
Mr. Palmer's principles, the private
gardener in £^11 large establishments
would soon rank alongside other mem-
bers of learned professions, to which
he really belongs. The earnest talk of
Mr. Hallock on "Horticultural Educa-
tion in Our Public Schools" was most
interesting. No man in our society is
better capable of carrying along the
good work. It is a great and important
subject. It may be of slow growth, like
many solid improvements, but it is
bound to come, and when horticultural
knowledge in candidates for school
teachers is recognized and they are given
credit over those devoid of it, a great
advance will be made.

The debate on lowering the tariff on
glass caused many a laugh. As was
said by some speakers, the tariff is a
local issue and a selfish one. It was up
before the society years ago, without
any result, and no resolution passed by
our society would do any good. Let the
committee now in existence hear the
opinions of the florists of the land. It
then will know where the majority
stands.

Place of Meeting.

Good, old Philadelphia has the con-
vention for 1907. This great city has
been more loyal to the society than any
community in the land. When the elo-
quent Eobert Craig and the jolly John
Westcott both raised their voices for

hearing his fine address of invitation to
that world-famous resort, sympathize
with his defeat. His personality is
charming. To secure a convention of
florists you must have the cordial en-
dorsement of the craft in that city, for
on them depends the success of the con-
vention.

The Election.

As usual, the nomination and the
election of officers was of the greatest
interest. The members thought it would
be a graceful thing to tender the presi-
dency to W. J. Stewart, who has been
the able and faithful secretary for nine-
teen years. It is fine that there exists in
our society an unwritten law that the
president should occupy his seat but
one year. There are hundreds of able
men in the society too modest to de-
clare themselves candidates, but all
worthy of the honor.

With the secretary it is different. It
is the important ofiice of the society,
and we don't envy the man who suc-
ceeds Mr. Stewart. It demands hard
and faithful work. Mr. Altick would
have made a fine secretary, yet that
popular Phil, of Chicago, possesses a
quiet, retiring, fascinating personality
that charms all of us, and to butt
against it for any position is futile.

Of course, the popular John, of Phila-
delphia, was elected vice-president and
he will work, don't you forget it, and
Mr. Beatty honors the society by ac-
cepting the oflfi'ce of treasurer. We
hope the defeated candidates and their
backers will have only the most loyal
support for those receiving the .honors.

The Social Side.

It has been proved that a small city,
or one of moderate size, is suitable for

their home city it was irresistible. We
had the good fortune to meet Mr. and
Mrs. Westcott shortly before our fare-
well to Dayton, and John again recited
the attractions of ' * lovers ' lane. ' ' Mrs.
Westcott pleasantly volunteered the re-
mark, "John talks a lot of lovers'
lane, but never goes in there himself."
There will be inquiries for it next Au-
gust.

All who had the pleasure of meeting
Mayor Cutler, of Niagara Falls, and

our convention. Attractions are not
so numerous that a great number stray
away from the business sessions, and the
few local attractions can be visited by us
in a body. That banquet in Welfare
hall, with its music and stereopticon
views, was simply charming. That dis-
solving view from a brilliant American
Beauty rose to Mr. Deamud's face was
clever, and brought out shouts of ap-
plause. The same can be said of the
mysterious change of a snowdrop to the

figure of John Esler, of New Jersey.
There is beauty in both, if you can only
see it.

The illumination of President Patter-
son's grounds was the grand feature of
the week. From the street, where the
trolley car landed us, up the long gravel
walk to the mansion was an ordeal we
shall not soon forget. We had been
shooting that afternoon and were tired,
and the ascent was made by a rope con-
nected to our waist and that of Harry
Papworth and a local shooter who
dragged us up. When we reached the
summit all fatigue was well repaid. It
was more fairyland than earth. Lan-
terns represented in poem of color every
kind of fruit and flower. Our weary
trudge up the ascent was enlivened by
the sight of huge pumpkins among the
creeping vines by the roadside. Apples
clustered on the linden trees, bunches
of grapes hung from lofty vine-clad
elms, apples from the oaks and grand
American Beauty roses from flowerless
shrubs. But none of this seemed artifi-
cial, because it was so artistically ar-
ranged.

A band concert on the summit of this
Far Hills park was enjoyed by thou-
sands.

Friday morning all who desired were
escorted through the wonderful cash reg-
ister works by polite young men, who
stopped at interesting points and gave
us brief lectures. The writer made a
lot of mental memoranda thinking he
could relate the wonders of this truly
model factory, but they have evaporated.
To those not present it may convey a
slight idea of the m'agnitude of this
wonderful factory to state that half an
acre of floor space is devoted to a laun-
dry, entirely employed on the sleevelets,
collars and aprons of the women em-
ployees. I observed no such institution
for the men, which is a sad reflection
on the fair sex, showing how much more
they need washing. But best of all,
Mr. Patterson is a friend of horticulture,
and if a house-holder does not fix up his
yard neatly Mr. Patterson will do it
for him, so he has made Dayton beau-
tiful.

Another unique feature of Dayton is
the far-famed Soldiers' home. What
country in the world's history ever has
taken care of the old soldiers as has
this United States? Not one. Some
may think it has overdone it, to the in-
justice of the coming generations. We
think not. If you saw the bent or
crippled veterans sitting around the
shady places of these beautiful grounds,
your heart would go out toward them.
The grounds are as beautiful and well
kept .as any of our parks, and in the
magnificent trees and floriculture, supe-
rior to most. The writer, through the
kindness of H. M. Altick, was given a
three-hour automobile ride through this
great institution and greatly enjoyed it.
No part of it created a thrill more than
the burial ground of the veterans. I
was informed there is an army of 17,000
silent soldiers buried there. The aver-
age of deaths in this old army is eight
every day.

Flash Lights.

No convention now will be complete
without the ample presence of Phil
Foley, the most polite man on earth, who
gave up his seat in a street-car to three
ladies. Few can do that.

It may not look well or proper for
a Buffalo man, but we want to say that
few presidents of the S. A. F. have fille<1

the chair so ably, so originally, and so
acceptably as W. F, Kasting. We always
knew he was a bright boy, but think
now he will soon be mayor of the great
city of Buffalo.

H. M. Altick had a grand lot of prizes
for the shooters and a most picturesque
place to hold the shoot, but the absence
of the Philadelphia competitors made it
tame. We were obliged to win a hunt-
ing coat, and partook of the hospitality
of a lot of good fellows of the local
club.

The local club was most hospitable.
Everybody in the town worked hard.
Dayton is a busy little city. Its street-
car service is difficult to understand, but
its climate is easily appreciated.

The eloquence of Robert Craig never
wanes.

The fatherly and friendly appearance
of Mr. Hallock is comforting at all
times.

The little adjournments and im-
promptu meetings of the society, as
usual, were the enjoyable features of
the convention. One held by Mr.
Matthews, of the local club, was par-
ticularly sparkling.

A meeting was held to fill up the
Beatty cup won by the Philadelphia
club. The writer was not present, but
we learn that some great good was done.
An absent friend was thought of, and
the widow and orphans of a much re-
spected florist were substantially remem-
bered.

In conclusion, the convention was a
great success except the atmosphere.
Never in our brief abode on this sphere
have we experienced anything like it.
From Tuesday until Friday night it was
a Turkish bath, continuous without in-
termission, and may the Lord have
mercy on those who have to live there
all the time. It has made us more addle-
headed than we were before.

HORTICULTURE IN SCHOOLS.

[The report by E. V. Hallock, Queens, N. Y.,
for the X^ommlttee on Teaching Horticulture In
the Public Schools, appointed at Washington last
year.]

After careful research and study of
reports and methods now in vogue, we
wish particularly to call your attention
to two matters — first, the absence of
text-books in all the present methods of
teaching horticulture, and second, the
lack of concerted action among the dif-
ferent associations conducting that work,
be they civic, philanthropic or educa-
tional.

This state of affairs we consider for-
tunate. The first because it does not
require any great preparation and makes
possible the starting of an S. A. F.
method sooner than it could otherwise be
started, since no elaborate system of
text-books is essential. The second, in-
asmuch as individual persons and organ-
izations have accomplished so much and
demonstrated so thoroughly that the in-
terest of the people is already all that
could be desired, that we feel confident
if this work can be placed upon a meth-
odical, systematic, concerted plan — in
other words, if the entire school system
of horticulture can be standardized suit-
ably for each grade of school, suggested
by the S. A. F. and adopted by the dif-
ferent boards of education — we see no
reason why this' teaching of horticulture
should not cover the entire land in a few
years.

Text-books.

In all the methods of teaching by the
different organizations at present, we
find no text-books are given to the pu-
pils. Leaflets are compiled and issued
to the teachers and also to pupils, in
some cases by the boards of education,
for the guidance and help of each.

These leaflets of instruction for the
use of teachers should emanate from a
committee of the S. A. F. They should
be placed in the hands of the state
boards of education, which will attend to
distributing the diflferent grades of leaf-

lets to the diflferent grades of schools;
namely, the rural common schools, the
union and high schools, and the primary
and grammar grades, compiled with spe-
cial reference to the conditions prevail-
ing in each grade.

We also suggest, for schools that have
become somewhat advanced in garden
work, and for pupils that have shown
interest, that leaflets and small, simple
pamphlets be prepared, containing plain
illustrations tf flowers, giving the botan-
ical parts, also botanical names of the
common trees, plants and flowers, and
others giving simple explanations of
what is meant by annuals, biennial,
hardy, perennial, and other matters that
are met with in everyday life. Even
these simple leaflets and pamphlets are
not to be given out to the pupils until
they show sufficient interest in their
work. This plan can be elaborated as
conditions seem to require.

Need of Standardizing.

On careful perusal of all documents
and reports that we could obtain we find
no two schools or organizations conduct-
ing their garden work on the same lines,
but each pursuing their work according
to their own ideas and as seems best to
them. Great good has undoubtedly come
from these disunited eflforts, but greater
good will undoubtedly come from con-
certed action, emanating from some cen-
tral authority, thoroughly standardizing
their work.

We have suggested dividing the
schools into three classes, so that we
can better meet the conditions and en-
vironment known to exist in schools of
each class. In this case we should issue
three series of leaflets of instructions,
diagrams and routine work. The latter
could be taken largely from the methods
now in force in the various school
gardens.

Instructions to Teachers.

Besides placing the leaflets and pam-
phlets in the hands of the diflferent
teachers we suggest that one of the

trustees should familiarize himself with
the proposed methods, using some of
the fuller reports of some of the spe-
cially conducted schools of this nature,
to get a general idea of how the plots
are laid out and cared for near the
schools, or plots loaned by people at a
little distance from the school and the
home garden.

If no trustee feels equal to this sim-
ple task he could easily call to his assist-
ance a florist, a market gardener, or
even a good farmer in the community,
to help start the work. If the teachers
lack in knowledge of any particular
subject they should be given to under-
stand that they could call upon the trus-
tee, who would find a person competent
to explain.

A committee of the Massachusetts
Horticultural Society comments very fa-
vorably on the system of children's
home gardens, stating that the society
first offered three prizes, then ten, and
were much surprised when they received
over two hundred entries for the ten
awards. The committee visited the
home gardens as far as possible and
found it was very encouraging to the
children to do so. They state: "We
still feel the children's home garden

plication of fertilizers and the planting
of each kind of seed, both of vegetable
and flowers. By this means the depth
and distance of planting seed of the
standard kinds can be easily learned by
the pupils.

The demonstration plot could be used
throughout the season for simple talks,
during the growth of the plants, even to
the method of killing potato bugs. The
object of this demonstration plot is that
it may be used in connection with the
children's home garden system. All in-
struction and knowledge, as it were,
which the children carry home to use in
their gardens will come from this plot.

State Teachers.

The state might employ a few expe-
rienced garden directors or teachers to
visit as many schools during the year
as practicable. Schools should be able
to call for this special aid where the sub-
ject is not suflSciently understood. The
committee on school gardens of the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society,
after investigation, says: "The great
lesson learned was that children's gar-
dens are successfully carried on when
under the leadership of an experienced
director or teacher. No matter how en-

movement is a very important one. ' '
This committee also gives prizes in con-
nection with the home garden system
for best reports of work for the year.

Your committee, in view of the re-
ports on these methods, suggests as an
intermediate plan, where conditions seem
to favor the method, a demonstration
plot in the school grounds, where the
teacher can fully demonstrate with each
pupil the preparation of the soil, the ap-

thusiastically the work is undertaken,
without a proper understanding of gar-
dening it is usually a failure." The
same committee says : * * There is a cry-
ing need for an institution in this state
similar to that at Hartford, Conn., where
school garden work can be taught."

In the course of time this study could
be added to the curriculum of all nor-
mal schools, as it already belongs to that
of several, these schools to furnish teach-

ers with suflScient knowledge of the sub-
ject to follow the methods laid down.

Lectures.

In educational matter of the present
day, be it ever so low or so high, much
instruction is imparted to the pupils by
lectures and talks. In the rural schools
it is not absolutely necessary that the
talks or lectures should be given at speci-
fied periods. They could be worked in
at times best suited to the convenience
of the teacher.

At most of these lectures, the teacher
should have one or two potted plants or
some flowers, and some varieties of the
common seeds; and it would not take
any great length of time, not more than
a year or two, perhaps, to make most of
the pupils familiar with the treatment of
the common and most useful plants.

Appropriation for Carrying on the Work.

In the matter of appropriations, all
the different kinds of school garden
work derive their financial aid from dif-
ferent sources, which is of necessity a
varying and somewhat uncertain amount.
For carrying on this work we want a
certain appropriation for each grade of
school. By way of illustration, but not
a suggestion we should say five dollars
each for the rural schools, ten for the
primary and grammar schools and
twenty for the union and high schools.
We confidently believe that even an
amount as small as this would be felt
in a community, but we feel that by cor-
relating garden work with other studies
the different boards of education would
appropriate a larger sum.

But what must be made plain is that
the appropriation should be a fixed fac-
tor in the expense of conducting the
schools.

Public Meetings- Children's Garden Confer-
ences.

At least once a year there should be a
public meeting in the form of a con-
ference, where all persons interested
should be invited to come and make sug-
gestions, and lend their aid to this
movement. The children should have a
chance to talk a little on their ideas
and work.

At a children's garden conference, De-
cember 2, 1905, under auspices of the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society,
seven ten-minute addresses were called
for to give opportunity for discussion.
A unique feature of this meeting was a
model garden bed, illustrated by a prac-
tical exercise by a boy gardener and
teacher. This conference brought to-
gether many people interested and
proved a great success in more ways
than one.

At meetings of this kind questions of
civic improvement and general better-
ment of surroundings could be discussed.

Relation of School Gardens to Experiment
Stations and Agricultural Colleges.

To some it may appear that the ex-
periment stations and agricultural col-
leges conflict or compete with our move-
ment. This is not the case. We should
be content to call ourselves the common
soldiers of this common cause, and we
should also be content to be officered by
experts from those institutions. They
commence at the top and work down.
"VVe are commencing at the bottom and
will work up. We wish to call on those
institutions for lecturers, demonstrators
and instructors. We can work hand in

hand with them and we probably could
not succeed without them.

Summary and Recommendations.

Your committee now believes the work
can be taken up with the end plainly in
view. Whether it is on the exact lines
laid down in this report, or better ideas
from the succeeding committee, is of
little consequence.

We have available so many detailed
reports of the workings of the various
associations taking up the matter of
school gardens, so much data and so
many working plans, a committee should
be able to proceed with their duties
understandingly.

But we must be doubly sure of the
ground we take. We cannot aflford to
make many mistakes at the outset or on
fundamental lines. Our work must be
humanitarian, logical and in a manner to
interest. Our progress must be slow and
sure.

Our motives are altruistic and must
remain so. Or our efforts will fail.
Neither this association nor any other
association has any selfish motive con-
cealed. No person or persons will have
any advantages over any other person or
persons. We shall work in an open
field. In the advancement of horticul-
ture we are sure to prosper, and added
wealth and comfort will accrue to the
individual, the community, the state and
the nation.

When the time comes and we ask of
the state a recognition in the matter of
school appropriations, let us do so with
the consciousness of a righteous cause
and a knowledge that not one penny will
be diverted from its proper use. We
believe it possible that some of the
money now appropriated by the agricul-
tural department for distributing the
commonest of all common seeds can be
diverted to the boards of education of
the different states for the purpose of
school gardens.

Recommendations.

Finally, your committee recommends
that a new committee of five be appoint-
ed by the executive committee, the presi-
dent and the vice-president of this so-
ciety, to carry on the work as laid down

Warren G. Matthews.
(Proprietor Dayton Floral Co., Dayton, Ohio.)

in the report of your first committee, or
on any other lines they deem best. And
that they be authorized to spend a sum
not to exceed $100 for preparing leaf-
lets, diagrams, routine instructions, etc.,
during the coming year.

[The committee distributed its report
in pamphlet form, in which was included
a large amount of matter which had
come to the committee's attention in
considering the subject during the last
year.]

RETAILERS' METHODS.

BY lEVIN BBBTEKMANN, OK INDIANAPOLIS.

[Read before the Society of American Florists,
at Dayton, O., August 22, 1906.]

In the time of the great Roman, Nero,
the methods of arranging and presenting
flowers were in keeping with that won-
derful period. The Romans understood
how to combine flowers with statuary,
make wreaths and designs for classic
pieces, to furnish sparkling fountains
with plants, to use artistic vases, to
blend colors and to decorate in a man-
ner the leading florists of this great
country are earnestly striving after. To
be sure, they did not watch or have the
details of the present time: paper boxes

of various hues; green, pink and white
wax paper; pins to match the various
flowers; cords, tassels and gauze; mat-
tings and many other accessories were
unknown to them; but the beauty and
detail of their flower arrangements are a
standard which all of us may look to.

Refrigerator and Windows.

A compartment the size of a small
room refrigerated by the establishment 's
plant, with glass shelving on each siae
and backed by mirrors, is the proper
caper these days for the preservation of
flowers. This also enables the store man
to take his customers into the box, with-
out disturbing the flowers or causing

them to suffer from different tempera-
tures.

The florist 's window is now also an all-
important point. It has long been recog-
nized as his most efficient advertising
medium, but it has only been of late
years that expert trimmels were em-
ployed and the minutest details carefully
observed. The flowers in the window
must be so arranged that the colors
blend, or separate parts of the arrange-
ment must contain a massing of one
variety. The florist's window must at-
tract the eyes of those passing, and sur-
pass in beauty and artistic value all the
windows in the city, for in arrangement
and neatness it must be equal to them,
and the beauty of the contents naturally
surpasses all others.

Too Mtsch Commercialism.

The subject of the paper does not per-
mit of a sermon, but this is a most op-
portune time to impress upon my listen-
ers that there is so much that is sacri-
ficed for commercialism in the present
day. Everything is made and arranged
according to the ledger account. In this
we find our German and French brothers
far superior. Not only is the commer-
cial side of the florist's business taken
into consideration in Europe, but the
idealistic side is also well attended to.
It is not only necessary to arrange a
wreath or basket hurriedly, but it is also
necessary to arrange it in an idealistic
and artistic manner. I would refer every
American retailer to the Bindekunst, a
German trade paper. The illustrations
therein will easily convince the reader
that we are far behind in detail and
symbolical work. The Berlin and
Parisian florists not only put forth work
which earns the dollar, but arrange

pieces which signify much more than is
found in our ordinary run of baskets,
wreaths, pillows, etc.

Store An-aosement

Great improvement has been noticed in
late years in the arrangement of the
flower stores. It is essential that the
arrangement "of the up-to-date flower
store be such that it is just a trifle be-
yond the finest customer who enters, if it
is to elicit, particularly from the femi-
nine flower expert, admiration, respect
and, last but not least, patronage. Ham-
pers and baskets, also vases and boxes
of flowers, are at all times in plain
view, and present suggestions and ideas
to any one entering. Oftentimes many
of these arrangements go to waste, but
they give prestige to the retailer who
has energy enough to gain ideas and pre-
sent them to his customers in a practical
manner. An apology is no longer a
necessity in the flower business as it was
years ago. Suitable stock can be had at
all times, though of course this varies
with the season. The store man, who
takes it for granted that a customer
should know without being shown how to
use flowers, is lost. It takes constant
arrangement and a lot of new ideas to
please the better class of trade. It was
but a few years back that all customers
looked alike to the clerk as they entered
the store toom. It is now necessary to
grasp the idea of catering to different
•'lasses of people. The rich, the poor,
the artistic, those of poor taste, those
who want a lot for their money, those
who want only the best, arranged in the
most artistic manner, those who want
certain color combinations, these quali-
ties must all be grasped at a glance by
the clerk, or he will lose many a cus-
tomer who would have been well satis-
tied had the former been a judge of hu-
man nature. The clerk no longer presents
his wares in the timid way of years gone
bv; he knows the value of his stock and

a more expensive plant carelessly ar-
ranged.

Better Transportation Facilities.

One of the most recent improvements
the retailer has is the great network of
interurban systems which is being built
throughout the country. This is par-
ticularly true of my own state, Indiana.
The close proximity of the greenhouse
and the store, due to the electric lines,
makes it possible for the retailer to have
fresh stock at all times. There is no
longer room for old stock, as this is
many times due to carelessness in order-
ing. It only takes a telephone call, and
fresh flowers will be on hand in a few
hours, whereas in years gone by large
amounts had to be ordered at one time.

New Views Taken by the Public.

As we all know, the day of the stereo-
typed flower piece is a thing of the past.
The florist now confines his funeral work
almost entirely to baskets, bunches,
wreaths and blankets. The view is now
takeu by those who are accustomed to
buying fiowers that offerings are sent
to lighten the suffering of the bereaved,
not to make it look more funereal. As
many colors are used as is consistent
witli ^ood taste.

The general public now appreciates
the various flower seasons. They under-
stand that ciirysanthemums are not to
be had in March or Alpine violets in
July. They look for the store man to
have select, seasonable stock on hand at
all times. It is possible for him to keep
things moving briskly almost the entire
year. The dull summer season is not
nearly what it used to be, and the ener-
getic tradesman can make much of it by
handling and arranging the choicest ob-
tainable stock. Seasonable novelties are
now always sought for in the flower
shops. Small turkeys, ducks, and various
novelties must be on hand at Thanks-
giving. Chimes, bells, wreaths, sleighs.

is not to be bluffed by any customer,
but stands firmly with any position he
may take.

Advantage is now taken of the possi-
bilities of each plant; a ribbon bow or
cord placed in the proper manner and to
the advantage of tne plant, a pot cover
in perfect harmony, a bit of moss or a
little foliage, enhances the value from
ten to fifty per cent. It is the neat and
natty plant or flower that attracts and
sells quicker and at a better figure than

etc., must lie on hand for Christmas, and
so on for every festive period. The
public has learned to know that the
flower shop is the proper place to obtain
novelties which are not to be had else-
where.

Flowers are no longer offered in re-
ceptacles which were formerly supposed
to heighten the beauty of the contents
by contrast with their shabbiness. The
grower now affords good glass vases and
his swell brother, the retailer, finer

articles, not excluding cut glass, or
precious metals. .. >.. '. ^

Better System Used.

The growth of the retailer has been
such that the modus operandi is pat-
terned after the larger department
stores, and matters are systemized so
that, for instance, an employee ^o sup-
posedly does nothing but wait on cus-
tomers does not hide the broom or
emerge from the cellar looking as if ho
had been in an encounter with the coal
pile or moss bin.

The use of the telephone, long distance
and local, in offering flowers is increas-
ing with the enlightenment of the public
in regard to them. A fair estimate of
the amount sold in this manner is forty
per cent of the gross sales, so the im-
portance of having the phone answered
in a proper manner is readily seen. The
brainiest, shrewdest, best informed and
most resourceful man in the establish-
ment is now employed to answer the
telephone. The fisherman at the phone
must offer the most tempting bait, play
with the game, hook the fish, reel it in
and place it securely in the net before
his work is accomplished. In many in-
stances two or three telephones are
placed in one store so the impatient
customer may not turn to a competitor.

The art, and it is one, of arranging
boxes or select, long-stemmed flowers,
skilfully finished with violets, mignon-
ette, pansies, and valleys, has now
reached the point where to the unin-
itiated "Excelsior" need no loBger be
proclaimed, it is here where proof of
skill, discernment of color and deftness
in arrangement are most apparent.
Oftentimes choice boxes are lined with
silk and the exterior ornamented with
bows of ribbon or bunches of violets,
valleys and roses, softened with sprays
of maidenhair and Farleyense ferns.
This perfection in the make-up of cut
flower boxes is one wo may justly feel
proud of. For the custom of sending
fine boxes of beautuul flowers, like the
American Beauty, gained prominence
with us — the Americans.

A COLES HOUSE.

The accompanying illustration shows
the interior of one of the new houses
built by W. W. Coles, Kokomo, Ind.
The house is 31x300 and was photo-
graphed before the glass was in the
walls and before the benches were built.
It is the King trussed construction, with
cement walls three feet high, and four
feet of glass, the plate supports being
iron. The house is tied together by
cross wires which remove the side pres-
sure on the posts and the trussed purlin
does away with the need for purlin
posts.

CARNATION NOTES.-EAST.

Spr&ying vs. Syrinsing.

The present spell of bright days and
cool nights is producing ideal breather
for the establishment of recently benched
plants. Of course the temperature dur-
ing midday runs higher than is desirable,
but it is just here where the observant
grower can best employ both his time
and personal attention to good advan-
tage.

You will notice in the early morning
(I take it you get around between 5 and
6 a. m.), how the plants have braced
up during the night after a previous
warm day. This is a good indication, but
do not wait until flagging commences
before applying a light spray.

Now, there is a vast difference be-
tween spraying and syringing as under-
stood in greenhouse operations. By
syringing is meant to apply directly,
with force sufficient to dislodge some
object, while we should define spraying
as the act of scattering in minute par-
ticles.

With a medium force of water, aim
the hose at an angle of aboyt forty-
five degrees over the bench, using the
thumb or forefinger, direct the spray as
high as possible over the plants without
hitting the glass. Endeavor at all times
to break up the water as fine as possible,
thus forming a mist to descend lightly
over the foliage.

It is not the amount of water used
which benefits the plants, in fact the
less applied at one time the better;
but several times during the day, accord-
ing to the weather, this spraying opera-
tion must be gone through until the
plants show signs of taking hold, when
spraying may be less frequent and in
time may be discontinued.

During this critical time avoid
draughts over the plants, but in no case
keep the houses closed, producing stag-
nant atmosphere. That invites that dread
disease, stem-rot, to pay a visit. Also
arrange to spray so tHat the foliage
will be dry over night.

I am every year more convinced that
the improper use of bone meal, or the
inferior quality of some grades, has much
to do with stem-rot, but of that mat-
ter we will treat later.

Geo. S. Osborne.

CARNATION NOTES.- VEST.

Removing Old Foliage.

When you have reduced your syringing
to once each day, so that the plants are
dry overhead most of the day, and be-
fore you put in place the supports that
are to hold the plants upright, it is a
good time to look over the plants and
take off all dead and diseased foliage.
This should be done when the plants are
quite dry, as the blades will snap off
readily next to the stem, whereas if they
are wet, they are likely to strip off the
bark from the stems. You can get

around the plants much handier before
the supports are in place, and it is a
good time to give the whole lot a good
cleaning off.

What a difference there is in varieties.
Some will transplant without losing a
blade, while others will lose half the
foliage in fipite of anything you might
be able to do, and oftentimes just the
ones you would expect to have the least
trouble with. To leave this dead foliage
on the plants would be inviting disease
later on, and it looks so unsightly.

Summer Pests.

A pest that usually gives us more or
less trouble about a month after plant-
ing is the sow-bug or wood-louse. This
bug is naturally a scavenger, but it also
loves live carnation leaves, and if left
undisturbed will chew up your plants
considerably. It likes sugar better than
carnations, and by mixing Paris green
into the sugar and dropping a little here
and there on the edge-boards, you can
destroy it. Don't e^ect to get all of
them with one dose, but repeat it several
times, a week apart.

If your plants are affected with any
of the fungous diseases, such as fairy-
ring, or the common carnation spot, it
will pay you to give them a dose of
Bordeaux mixture or formalin. Use the
formalin about 500 to one. This amounts
to about one and one-sixth drachms to
each gallon of water. Figuring a pint
at a pound, there are 576 drachms in
each gallon. The formalin is clear and
will not color up the plants like the
Bordeaux mixture. It is much less trou-
ble to prepare and apply. Both are
good for all such diseases. By washing
it off with the nose you can apply the
formalin every few days, but the Bor-
deaux mixture had better be left on
several days before being washed off.

Spraying.

Don't wait until your place is over-
run with greenfly before you fumigate
or spray. As soon as the plants are
well established, you should begin spray-
ing them regularly once each week. Set
a certain day of the week when you are
best able to do it, and make it a fast
rule to spray on that morning. You
don't have to wait for a cool evening,
or on anything else, when you employ
this method of fighting aphis. You can
spray any morning, rain or shine,
whether you have to pick blooms or not.
It makes no difference. After diluting
the nicotine liquid in water, it is so
nearly clear that it does not spot even
the whitest bloom, it is more )a3ting
in effect than fumigating with tobacco
smoke, and I can assure you that unt^s
you start out with a bad case of thrips,
one application each week will keep your
place clean.

On one plant, however, I want to
warn you against using any of these
liquid preparations, and that is the vio-
let. They can't stand even the mildest
applications. Why it is I cannot say,
but numerous experiments have proven
this conclusively.

When taking into account the effoc-

tiveness, the cleanliness, and the eaae
with which liquid nicotine can be used,
I can not understand why any grower
will stick to the old method of burning
tobacco stems. A. F. J. Baue.

SUPPLEMENTING CARNATIONS.

I am the owner of four houses 25x150
feet, and one lean-to 16x75 feet. In
the four main houses I grow carnations;
in the lean-to, which consists of three
benches, I grow smilax, swainsona and
some potted ferns, asparagus, and car-
nation cuttings.

Now I feel that I don't get enough
out of the four main houses. What I
want to 'get is a list of crops that 1
can use to follow up the carnations with
in the early spring. As soon as a bench
of carnations gets exhausted, and are
not paying for bench room, I want to
get rid of them at once, stir up my soil
and plant something else right away. In
the lean-to I use all of my empty space
for freesias, narcissi and Harrisii, but
as I have been in the business only a
short time, I am not well enough ac-
quainted with it to know just how to
get the most out of it.

What varieties of summer carnations
would you suggest? C. B. S.

If you grow carnations as they ^ouhl
be grown, they will occupy your benches
the entire year, except the time requiretl
for refilling and repairing. If you can
sell your carnation blooms at a fair
figure up to the time for throwing them
out, which is early in July, then you
ought to get-vs much out of them as you
could out of any other combination of
crops. There are few early summer cut
flower crops that could be planted afte/
Easter, and be done with when you
should begin to get your houses ready
for replanting; so there is great danger
of damaging the next season's carnation
crop, by throwing it late, more than
what you gain on the extra crop.

The retail grower can work in many
odds and ends in the way of spring bed-
ding plants that will take up lots of room,
in fact all he cares to give up to them.
If you are situated so that you can dis-
pose of considerable quantities of geran-
ium plants in the spring, you will find
them a profitable crop to work in. You
can carry them along in 2% -inch pots
until March 1, at wMch time repotting
into 4 -inch should commence. You can
throw out enough carnations at that time
to hold them when set on the bench
close together. Later on, in April, when
you can spare more room, you can spread
them out as they need it. These will
all be gone by the middle of June, and
your benches will be empty for next sea-
son's preparations.

Not all growers are situated so they
can work this plan advantageously. We
happen to be so situated, and we dispose
of many thousand geraniums and other
bedding plants; we think it pays us well,
though we have never been able to grow
eighty good 4-inch pot geraniums from
one stock plant in one season. You can
use up a limited amount of space for
Memorial day flowers, such as candy-
tuft, feverfew and ten weeks' stocks,
etc., providing you can find sale for
them. Some growers plant gladioli be-
tween the carnation rows. These should
be planted about the middle of February.
Bed spider is their worst enemy.

Another crop that pays well is sweet
peas. These must be sown before Jan-
uary 1. Plant half a dozen seeds about

every six feet on the north edge of
the bench. When they need support, put
in a stout bamboo eight feet long, and
tie to a wire near the top. If sown
early in October, these will bloom by
April, and will continue for two months
if you keep them picked and watered.
You can plant the winter-flowering vari-
eties the same way, only plant by Sep-
tember 1. The first named will not harm
your carnation plants any until late
February or March, at which time they
will start into a strong, rampant growth ;
they will keep you busy tying them up,
for you must keep them growing upright
if you want the best results.

Planting Boston ferns or asters on
the benches is a big mistake. They are
never out of the way early enough not
to interfere with replanting carnations.

Now, I want to add a word as to
whether you are getting as much as you
ought out of your houses. You say that
you are new in the business, and in that
case you are hardly competent to judge.
If your carnations give you good crops
of high grade blooms, covering the whole
season, then you are getting all you can
reasonably expect from your grower.
After years of experience and applica-
tion, you will learn to work in an extra
crop here and there, and thereby add to
your profits. Those are the fine points
of the business which you must learn
through daily experience.

Begarding summer carnations, I should
say that we have found very little in
them from a wholesale point of view.
The time that fair indoor carnations
cannot be obtained is so short that it
does not pay to grow a separate lot to
bloom during that period. If it were
possible to get them into full crop just
at that time, so that you could cut six
or more blooms per plant during July
and August, then it would pay fairly
well, but you will find usually two or
three blooms per plant during those two
months, and a large crop in September
and October, when you are cutting inside
again. Some growers let their plants
come into bloom in the field and depend
on selling the plants late in the season.
This is a bad practice. Others, again,
after selecting their stock for benching,
allow the balance to bloom until frost.
This is all right and does no one any
harm. We think a short season without
carnation blooms does no harm, but
rather stimulates the demand for them
when they do come again. When the
asters are in full crop and other outdoor
flowers are to be had in plenty, the
carnations would have to be sold cheap
to be sold at all, which would tend to
hold down the price all through the fall
season. I should advise you, instead of
trying for carnations in summer, to take
up asters, summer lilies, gladioli and
other flowers which naturally bloom in
the summer. You will be surprised, if
you have a good supply of these, how
well you will get along for this short
time without the carnations, and how
wftlcpme the first carnations will be
■sfUmt thiey do come in again.
Mf,:. ) . ' A. F. J. Bauk.

BUDS MALFORMED.

What is the trouble with my Mrs.
Joost carnations? The flower buds all
hold fast between the leaves, and find
it a hard matter to unfold. The buds
are, of course, in this way malformed.
Otherwise the plants look good.

■;:"' . G. T. s.

iT-our ooraplaint is a common one with

this variety, though I don't think it
serious. With a little careful handling
during the next few weeks they will
come' around in good shape. You will
find more or less of this trouble with
Mrs. Joost after every severe check, and
especially after transplanting plants that
are strong and thrifty.

By starting them off slowly you can
ward it off to some extent, and that is
the plan for you to follow. Water them
moderately and do all you can to en-
courage root action, by stirring the soil
frequently, etc. Don't mulch or feed

in any way as long as this malforma-
tion shows. Give all the air you can
at all times. Sometimes thrips will
cause the same trouble, and if it were
some other variety I might think it was
that, but we always noticed more or
less of this same thing every year a
few weeks after housing the plants, when
we grew this variety, and after study-
ing the matter carefully we concluded
that it was caused by resuming growth
too suddenly. The stronger the plants
were the worse it seemed to be. A very
rich soil made it worse. a. F. J. B.

CARE WITH TEMPERATURE.

Danger of Mildew.

As the season advances we may expect
cooler nights, accompanied by more or
less dampness from rains, fogs, etc.,
which will have the effect if not care-
fully watched of creating tue conditions
favorable to mildew.

Where the place is large enough to
warrant the keeping of a night watch-
man, this need give little trouble. He
can by keeping an eye on the outside
temperature so regulate the ventilation
that no sudden change of temperature
occurs. But in the large number of
places where the extent of glass may
not reach 30,000 feet, and where even
the half of that may not be devoted to
roses, keeping a night watchman during
the summer months appears in most cases
too big a drain on the prospective profits
to be safely indulged in. The ingenuity
and skill required to overcome these un-
favorable conditions at small cost will
be the cause of many anxious hours.

It is good policy to run no risks at
this season, and whenever the ther-
mometer outside indicates an approach
to 56 degrees it is safe to apply a little
firing. Especially is this the case if
the fall in temperature is accompanied
by rain.

If this pest is not suppressed in its
initial stage, it spreads rapidly and
works sad havoc amojig the growths and
foliage, tender at this time.

If firing has to be resorted to this
early in the season, care will be needed
not to get the foliage too soft, a con-
dition which is easily acquired, but from
which it is difficult to escape before
the winter begins. This can be obviated
by. careful watering and ample but
judicious ventilation.

When necessary to fire up every ad-
vantage should be taken of the oppor-

tunity to paint the pipes with the sulphur
mixture to hold the pest in check.

ROSES IN POTS.

The rose always has been a popular
subject, whether grown for cut blooms
or in pots as a flowering plant. The
latter are now splendidly grown, and
put on the market from early spring.
At one time it was only hybrid perpet-
uals that were utilized for the purpose,
but with the advent of the rambler class
other sections came in vogue, and we
now see nearly all represented except
the weaker-growing teas.

Many stalls are gay in Covent Garden
in the spring with Crimson Bambler
carrying wreaths of roses six and eight
feet long. They are curled around the
stakes, so that the decorator can easily
unfasten them and place them in any
position required. The pink rambler,
Dorothy Perkins, has also come to stay,,
for it makes a good show and is just
as easily grown as the crimson variety.
The more recent variety. Lady Gay, will
no doubt appear on the market next
season. The polyantha roses, White Pet
and Eed Pet, have long been popular
as market plants, and when grown well
make dense little bushes about fifteen
inches high, which renders them valu-
able for decorative work. Madame N.
Levavasseur has also "taken on" and
is now grown in large quantities.

The best of the hybrid perpetuals
and hybrid teas that one sees most plen-
tifully are Mrs. J. Laing, General
Jacqueminot, La France, Ulrich Brun-
ner. Captain Hayward, Frau Karl
Druschki, John Hopper, Mrs. R. Shar-
man Crawford, Duke of Edinburgh,,
Baroness Rothschild, Merveille de Lyon
and Caroline Testout. Most of these
are sent to market in 5-inch pots.

The plants are grown by two meth-
ods, to meet the requirements of the
different classes of trade. The first is
that where the plants are grown right
through in pots; they make fine plants
and can be forced into bloom quite
early. These are grown for the better
class of trade, and they are decidedly

superior. The other method allows the

Sower to sell more cheaply, which suits
e general trade. The bushes are brought
in during the early autumn months and
potted at once* in 5-inch pots. Some
growers plunge them in ashes, while
others stand them closely on a bed of
ashes. They become well rooted before
Christmas, and can then be forced or

plants are pruned hard so as to obtain
good dwarf plants. Successional crops
are obtained by placing the plants in
heat in batches. After this they do not
require more cultural skill than the ma-
jority of market plants. When in act-
ive growth a little feeding is resorted to.
As soon as the blooms show color they
are put on the market, and, generally

speaking, prove to be a paying crop.
Greenfly and mildew are treated in the
usual way.

No doubt our market roses will be
added to largely in the near future, for
the best growers are always on the look-
out for new varieties that are suitable,
so as to place them on the market first.

SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS.

Feeding.

Stock that was benched in May, and
also plants that are being grown con-
tinuously in pots, will now be greatly
benefited by feeding lightly to keep
them on the move, and nothing is better
to start with than a light mulch of well
rotted manure. This mulch keeps the
soil uniformly moist and cool, and before
it is applied the beds should have a
coat of either fine bone or Scotch soot
spread over them. Make this coat very
thin, and remember that it is better to
apply it .at three or four diflferent times
than to give one strong dose and kill
the young, delicate fiber of the roots.

Do not use fresh manure for the
mulch. If I could get nothing but fresh
manure I should use nothing at all, be-
cause it will do more harm than good.
I have before now seen the foliage killed
half-way up the stem by the ammonia
rising from fresh cow manure, and when
it burns the top growth in such a man-
ner, the disastrous effect on the roots
may easily be imagined.

It is a safe rule never to feed a plant
unless it is well established. Feeding
a newly potted plant is altogether wrong.
In the first place, the plant does not
need it, since the new soil gives ample
food for present needs, and until the
roots have reached the sides of the pot
again any liquid applied will only sour
the soil and retard root action, instead
■of encouraging it. In the second place,
it is only a waste of time and good
material.

Chemical fertilizers are invaluable
aids to the up-to-date cultivator, and
while there are several others that are
used more or less, I pin my faith to
sulphate of ammonia and nitrate of
potash. The quickest and safest way
I know of to use either of these is to
put two 4-inch potfuls of the chemicals
into a 50-gallon kerosene can, and use
through the Kinney pump. This makes
a safe proportion, and will harm noth-
ing. If chemicals are used one week
and liquid made from natural manures
another w^eek, the plants will be greatly
benefited by it.

The chrysanthemum will stand almost
anything in the way of feeding after
it has been gradually introduced to it,
but always begin weak and gradually
make the liquid stronger. Keep on the

safe side, anyway, till we get the cooler
weather. It is not wise to be dosing
a plant to the limit with the temperature
in the nineties. September is the month
when feeding tells the most. Then the
bud is swelling and the food is not
being diverted to making growth, and
as the plant is preparing for its final
effort in flowering it is in a more recep-
tive mood.

Every year we see or hear of some one
who has overfed his plants and lost a
good part of the crop. This makes it
seem to a beginner as though it is play-
ing with fire to use chemicals on mums,
and yet the fact remains that all our
best cultivators use them. Once a man
has gained sufficient experience in their
use to know when to feed and when
not to feed, he is on the highroad to
success.

Disfoucldin£.

Disbudding now occupies a large part
of the time, and it is safe to take most
any kind of a bud from now on. This
work should be done in the early morn-
ing, because then the shoots are brittle
and will easily snap out, reducing the
chances of injuring the bud to a min-
imum. After a hot day the tips of the
plants are in a more or less wilted con-
dition and the buds cannot be handled
nearly so quickly.

Insects.

After the bud begins to swell there
is frequently some fiy to be seen around
the covering. Before the bud shows
color, this fly can be cleaned out by
dusting with tobacco dust. Don't be
afraid of putting on too much. If the
dust is good it will injure nothing but
the fly, and will save you some heart-
burning later on. There is nothing much
worse than a dirty chrysanthemum
flower, and the present time is none too
soon to begin to keep it clean. The most
common insect next to the fly is the
grasshopper, which some seasons will do
much damage by eating through the
tender shoot just below the bud, making
the plant a total loss, or eating half the
bud away and causing the plant to pro-
duce a malformed flower. Either way
the grasshopper is a nuisance and must
be reckoned with. This year I have not
seen many in this section up to date,
owing doubtless to the quantity of rain
that we have had, but other places report
about the usual crop. When they are

particularly numerous and hand-picking
is of no avail, Paris green mixed with
water and sprayed on will be found ef-
fective; only don't get the mixture
strong. Just enough to see the color in
the water is all that is necessary; a
stronger dose will bum the foliage.

This dose will also clean off caterpil-
lars quicker than anything else, though
this year I have seen fewer caterpillars
on tne plants than for a long time past.
For this relief we are thankful.

Cleaninp Out Suckers.

As the plants get disbudded, the
suckers and side shoots will appear in
increasing numbers, and these must ;be
taken in hand, both literally and figura-
tively, early in the game. In cleaning
out the suckers don't let the help use
a knife around the plants. Suckers
should be pulled out and not cut, as
the careless use of the knife will resuii;
in cutting many roots, and may cause
a serious check.

Getting in Plants from Outside.

The first week in September is about
the best time to dig up the plants that
have been growing outside, and transfer
them to pots and boxes. Take up the
plants carefully, and don't attempt to
squeeze them into a pot that is too small,
as they will make considerable growth
yet, both in root and top. If you chop
around the plants with a spade a few
days before they are lifted, the check
will not be nearly so severe, as new fibers
will be in course of formation and will
take hold quicker in the new soil.

Shade the plants after they are potted,
and spray over several times a day
to keep them from wilting. Handled in
this manner, they hardly lose a leaf.

RUST ON CHRYSANTHEMUMS.

Will you please tell me a remedy,, if
there is one, for rust on chrysaftibe-
mums? It is not bad, only a leaJf or two
now and then that look like rust.

c.t.f.V

The best thing for rust, in my opiin-
ion, is sulphide of potassium, commonly
called liver of sulphur. This can be pro-
cured at a drug store, and should be
used in the proportion of one ounce to
two gallons of water. Use a sprayer that
will throw a fine spray, and be sure thbt

the under side of the leaves is saturated
with the liquid. This will dry up the
spores and prevent the rust from spread-
ing.

C. L. T. says he has just a leaf now
and then that looks Uke rust. He need
be under no misapprehension as to
whether or not it is rust, if he ever saw
it on carnations. The chrysanthemum
rust looks practically the same as the
carnation rust. If the trouble is not
rust, but merely a leaf spot, the potas-
sium sulphide is about the best thing to
use, and it is also a good thing to use
for mildew. C. H. T.

NOTES FROM ENGLAND.

Ldlium candidum on the English mar-
ket, either forced or cut from outside,
i^as almost entirely disappeared, hard-
ly a bunch having been seen throughout
the whole season. This no doubt is the
result of the continual failures experi-
enced with imported bulbs. Almost the
entire importations from France, Italy
and the south of Germany for some
years have been full of disease, and oth-
erwise unfit for forcing. Some lots
grown in Holland and in the north of
Germany have been good, but their cul-
ture does not appear to be taken up
very extensively in these northern dis-
tricts. After years of experience it ap-
pears pretty certain that to force suc-
cessfally, L. candidum bulbs must be
grown in a cold climate.

In England large clumps of Lilium
candidum may frequently be found in
cottage gardens in the very pink of
health and vigor. On digging up these
clumps it is often found that they con-
tain half a dozen or so immense bulbs,
the largest sometimes fourteen inches
in circumference, with fat, healthy
scales. These bulbs usually have been
standing undisturbed for from four to
ten years, and the soil they grow in is
usually very rich in fertile matter. The
growths often reach as much as five feet
high. If these bulbs are forced, they
are always a perfect success. Even for
the earliest forcing there never appears
the slightest sign of the dreaded mildew
or rust, which practically ruins all im-
ported bulbs. Success with these bulbs
indicates that if a grower for profit
gave his bulbs rich land and let them
stand without being disturbed for at
least five years, some fine forcing stuff
would be produced. One man grows
these bulbs successfully; they are lifted
every five years and when being planted
the bulbs are thickly covered with sul-
phur. During winter the growths get
a heavy dressing of soot; and after the
stems have died down a mulching of
rotten manure is given.

All movings must be done in August,
as in no other month of the year will
candidums stand replanting. A good
method where the room can be spared
is to pot up bulbs intended for forcing
a year before in 8-inch pots, and plunge
.the pots outside, allowing them to
bloom one year in this form. Bring
them under glass the second year, and
liberally feed them during the whole
time of growth when under glass. This
gives them time to get established be-
fore being forced.

Some of our leading flower shows
have adopted an effective and satisfac-
tory method for cooling the show tents
during the recent hot weather. They
keep a continual fine spray of water
playing on the roofs. This process

makes the inside of the tents delight-
fully cool.

Palms of all sizes and all sorts still
continue to advance in price all over
England, and most of the big palm
houses around London are getting pretty
well cleaned out. Belgium is still buy-
ing from English growers, where there
is an opportunity to procure small stock
plants, causing prices here to advance
still further. B. J.

HARRISn LILIES.

When should Harrisii lilies, just
potted, be brought into the house for
forcing for Christmas? That is, how
much time should be given them to root
before being brought into the heatf
What temperature should be given the
Japan longifiorum bulbs for forcing for
next Easter? How many weeks should
be given them to root? E. S. B.

There is no arbitrary time when these
lilies should be brought into the green-
house after potting. It depends on
when you want them to flower, and still

seems the only one to fill the bill; so

more on their condition of earliness.
When they have made a leaf and stem
growth of two to three inches above the
soil in pots they will be well rooted
and can be given the heat of the green-
house. If the bulbs have been dug in
Bermuda before they were thoroughly
ripe, they don't force well.

There is a large firm not far from us
that is uniformly successful in forcing
these lilies, being able to cut thousands
by Thanksgiving. To accomplish this
the plants are allowed to get well rooted
outside, then are brought in and given
about 70 degrees at night for the first
month. After that, if it is seen to be
necessary, they are given a heat of 90
degrees.

The Japan longifiorum bulbs usually
arrive in September. They are potted
and left in a frame outside until the
first of December, or even two or three
weeks later. The date of Easter will
have much to do with the forcing. Be-
gin at 55 to 60 degrees when first brought
in. It may be necessary to raise the
temperature to 70 degrees by flower-
ing time. There is one feature connected
with this class of lilies that is easy to
observe. If subject to a night tempera-

ture of 60 degrees, don't drop them
to 50 degrees. They don't like it. This
lowering of temperature near their flow-
ering time is unnatural. They just
stand still. It stunts them. After the
flower buds turn white, and are ready
to expand, they can be removed to a
cool bouse and will open their flowers
all right, but up to that time keep them
going without any lowering of tempera-
ture. W. S.

CHRISTMAS VEGETABLES.

I should like to know the proper time
to sow lettuce and radish seeds to have
them ready for market about Christmas.
What varieties are best for this purpose,
and what temperature should they be
grown in? N. H. G.

To have lettuce for Christmas you will
need to sow your seed not later than the
last week in September. It takes about
three months from the time of sowing,
as it is a crop that won't stand pushing.
A night temperature of from 40 to 45
degrees is the most suitable, with a rise
of from 10 to 20 degrees by day, accord-
ing to the brightness or cloudiness of the
weather.

The easiest variety to handle is Grand
Bapids, but this is not a head lettuce,
and some object to it on that account.
When it is necessary to grow a head
lettuce, I should recommend Deacon, al-
though it is slower in growth than some
other varieties, such as Tennis Ball and
Boston Market. I find it less subject
to fungous diseases.

Eadishes can be grown in the same
temperature as lettuce, but will stand
about 5 degrees higher if desired. In a
temperature of from 45 to 50 degrees
it takes about three weeks for them to
mature from the time the seed is sown,
but in the cooler temperature four weeks
had better be allowed. The best variety
we have yet tried is Rapid Forcing.
This is of fine quality, quick to mature,
and, having a very dwarf top, can be
sown closer than most other varieties.

FORQNG CUCUMBERS.

Under the stimulus of forcing work,
two distinct types of cucumbers have
been developed, says L. C. Corbett in a
recent bulletin of the department of
agriculture. These are recognized in
the trade as the English type and the
American type. The English type is
purely a product of forcing-house con-
ditions, as the climate of England is not
congenial to the growth and development
of the cucumber in the open. The Amer-
ican type of cucumber is primarily a
product of field conditions, and the few
varieties which have been developed to
meet the requirements of the forcing
house are simply modifications of the ex-
isting field or outdoor forms.

The English type of cucumber is a
long, cylindrical, uniformly green fruit,
with few seeds and a very fleshy seed
cavity; in fact, the normal seed cavity
of the forced cucumber is almost en-
tirely wanting. The triangular shape
characteristic of the normal outdoor
cucumber has been lost, and the cylindri-
cal outline almost perfected. There is
considerable difference in the size and

length of the various English varieties
of cucumbers, but thoy all conform in
general to the description above given.

The American type of cucumber is
primarily grown in the field, the product
to be used either for pickling or for
slicing. Forcing cucumbers in America
is confined to those varieties which pro-
duce large fruits suitable for slicing.
Only three or four of the better and
larger field varieties are adapted to this
purpose. Notable among these is the
White Spine, the Arlington White Spine
being the variety which has been espe-
cially developed for forcing. The Long
Green, or a modification of it, is also
sometimes used, but aside from these
two varieties there are few that ever
find their way into the forcing house.
Such varieties as the Boston Pickling,
Chicago Pickling, and the cluster varie-
ties in general are not adapted to forc-
ing purposes.

The American ideal for a forcing
cucumber is based, of course, upon the
outdoor-grown fruit, and in general
shape and size the fruits must conform
to the best of such fruits. The ideal
forcing cucumber for the American mar-
ket has a slender form, good length, is
cylindrical rather than triangular in
shape, and of a uniform green color
throughout. At the present time there
is no variety upon the market which pos-
sesses all of these characteristics. The
White Spine is objectionable because of
the white markings of the greater per-
centage of these fruits, and now and
then an albino appears, which is of
course exceedingly objectionable for
forcing purposes. The chief objection
to white markings upon cucumbers is
that as soon as the fruits are removed
from the plant these markings have a
tendency to turn yellow, indicating age
and deterioration. Fruits v.'hich are uni-
formly green in coloring do not show
these changes so quickly, and if they are
well preserved in cold storage, so as to
maintain their crispness of texture, they
can be held upon the market much longer
than those showing the white markings.
Frcm the standpoint of the buyer this
characteristic of the white markings is
an advantage, in that the purchaser can
determine whether or not the cucumbers
have been upon the market any length
of time by th6 amount of yellow color-
ing shown upon the white areas.

SOWING LETTUCE.

When is the time to sow Boston Mar-
ket lettuce to have a crop in by Novem-
ber or December? G. T. S.

If you want to have Boston Market
lettuce ready in November, you don 't

want to lose any time in getting your
seed sown. For our November crop
we sow the seed about the middle of
August, and transplant into coldframes
as soon as it is large enough. We use
coldframes for our supply up to the
middle of December, as we find the
plants do better and are easier handled
in frames than in the greenhouse up
to that date. We make three sowings
for frame work, at intervals of two
weeks apart, the last sowing being made
about the middle of September.

The first sowing for greenhouse work
is made about the end of September.
This crop we depend on coming in for
Christmas. It is a pretty safe rule to
count on three months from the time
of sowing to the time of maturity. The
time may vary a little, according to
weather conditions, but this can be taken
safely as a rule. W. S. Croydon.

BOSTON.

The Market

While there is no great amount of
business, conditions show some improve-
ment. Carnations, except from outdoors,
are rather scarce and bring $1.50 to $2
per hundred. There are plenty of roses
at the previous week's prices. Sweet
peas have reappeared with the clear,
warm weather we are now having and
sell at from 20 cents to 25 cents per
hundred. Gladioli continue of good
quality. Some from a distance, how-
ever, are rather poor. Asters continue
plentiful. Lilium auratum and Harrisii
are seen, and outdoor-grown L. speciosum
appeared this week. Green stuff remains
about the same.

STARTING EUONYMUS.

Kindly advise me as to the proper
material in which to root euonymus, and
if the method varies any with the sea-
sons. J. P. S.

Some varieties, such as Europaeus, ala-
tus and atropurpureus, are usually prop-
agated by seeds sown in early spring, or
Ave II ripened pieces of wood in autumn,
in a coldframe. The increasingly popu-
lar evergreen varieties, Europseus and
radicans, root freely at this season from
top cuttings, which have run along the
ground or been against a wall. Plant
thickly in a frame, water freely and
shade for two or three weeks, and few
will miss making plants.

Propagation may be made from July 1
to September in a frame, earlier or later
in a greenhouse. Layering is another
method, but stock can be so rapidly made
from cuttings that it is much the sim-
plest plan. From cuttings put in during
July, 1905, we now have plants four feet
high on walls. This plant is also de-
sirable as a shrub, but its special value
lies in its adaptability for covering
rocks, bowlders, fences and walls. "We
have never found it to kill at all in the
most severe weather, and it is the most
satisfactory evergreen climber we have in
New England. W. N. C.

ASPARAGUS.

Can you give us some points on the
best method of growing asparagus, both
plumosus and Sprengeri? What is con-
sidered the correct distance for setting?
How many cuttings a year should a well
grown bed furnish? How many strings
to a plant at one cutting of plumosus,
and how many strings to a plant in a
year, would be a fair estimate? What
combination of soil is generally consid-
ered best for asparagus < S. H. S.

There is considerable difference in the
methods of growing plumosus and
Sprengeri. We shall first consider plu-
mosus. It is principally grown for long,
stringlike vines for decorating and has
no competitor as a decorative plant. The
less you attempt to make it conform
to any formal space or attitude the bet-
ter. Throw it up against a mirror or
suspend it from an archway; it is grace
and beauty, and the hand of the artist
cannot improve it. The best time to
plant it to be most profitable is during
the months of June or July, but it can
be planted any time of the year. One
foot apart each wa^ is a proper dis-
tance. Don 't expect to divide the growth
of one plant. A single growth would
hardly be full enough for decorative
purposes.

On one inquiry I can speak with full-
est authority and experience. Make
your Asparagus plumosus bed on the
floor of your greenhouse unless it be
gravel or cement. A clay, or sand, or
bog, or anything your greenhouse is
built on, let that be the foundation of
your plumosus bed. I shall quote once
more the words of the foremost aspar-
agus grower of this country, William H.
Elliott, of New England, who said to the
writer, when the latter was in distress,
"Never divorce asparagus from Mother
Earth." That was good advice, and
the truth. If you are a practical gar-
dener you will know what an avaricious
feeder the whole of the asparagus family
is. In the old works on gardening on
"How to make an asparagus bed," you
are told to excavate three feet deep,

put in all the bones you can collect, any
dead horses or cows lying around, and
your mother-in-law, to make the growth
prolific. In short, the asparagus family
are gross feeders and cannot be over-
done with nourishment.

In addition to the long twining
growths of Asparagus plumosus, there
are always a lot of short, stunted
growths which are in great demand.
These should not be cut until they are
matured.

Plumosus is often grown on a side
bench alone, for the object of cutting
these short sprays, when the strong
growths that would run up should be
pinched to induce lateral growth. This
is, 1 think, not a profitable system of
cultivation, because a bed will give you
the long strings, and also plenty of the
short, useful growths.

Asparagus Sprengeri.

This is a plant of different habit,
although partaking like all members of
its family of a strong appetite for all
vegetable stimulants. Its mass of roots
or tubers, if not sustained with food,
soon become exhausted, and little growth
follows. A bed fifteen or eighteen inches
deep of heavy, rich soil would grow it
for several years, but would this be
profitable? We doubt it. Far less will
it be profitable in six inches of soil on
a raised bench. The first and best
method of growing this useful aspara-
gus, we notice, was at Peter Crowe's, of
Utica, N. Y., who also struck pay dirt
in growing the adiantum which now
bears his name. He has several ranges
of rose houses, all connected, with no
partition between them, cedar posts sup-
porting the gutters and a narrow path
on each side of the posts. We think
a 2-inch pipe supporting the gutter is
better than cedar posts, less expensive
and obstructs less light. Anyway, be-
tween the posts and beneath the steam
pipes there is a space not used. Here
Mr. Crowe put a lot of English glass
boxes to good use. The English glass
box contains 100 square feet. Ours
holds fifty feet. The former is eight
inches wide, sixteen inches high and
two feet long. These he stood on end
and filled with the same material as
his rose beds and planted in each box
three plants of Asparagus Sprengeri.
They are a very valuable asset to the
profits of these houses, and we hastened
home to follow his example. You may
not have these English glass boxes and
you may not have these modernly buUt
houses affording such a place, but you
will glean from the above what Aspara-
gus Sprengeri needs: A lot of root
room, a heavy, rich soil, lots of liquid
manure and a night temperature of 60
degrees. W. S.

York City, Pa.— B. H. Ellis has be-

CHICAGO.

The Great Central Market

Convention week is always a dull one
in this market and this year it was no
exception to the rule. This week, how-
ever, started off with a more brisk de-
mand and all good stock is readily taken,
except the summer flowers, which are in
oversupply.

The crops of Beauty are steadily in-
creasing and good length of stem is now
obtained from the young plants. The
demand absorbs all receipts, at moder-
ate prices. Of Bride and Bridesmaid
the supply is large, but in general the
quality is poor. The cut from old
plants shows unattractive foliage; from
the young plants the stems are short.
The best of these roses move quickly and
the balance is difficult to aispose of ex-
cept to the buyers of job lots, who are
not keen these summer days. Eichra<md
is abundant, but pops open so quickly
that it is hard to handle.

Outdoor carnations are abundant,
though not of good quality. The first
cut from indoor stock is beginning to
arrive, with clean flowers, but short in
stem. The late asters are many of them
of superb quality, and carnations are in
little demand, for there are more good
asters than the volume of business calls
for. A few auratum lilits .still an on the
market and there are many lancifoliums
and longiflorums. Gladioli still are in
large supply and selling slowly. Some
of the stock is superb. Dahlias are be-
coming something of a problem, for
they are not readily salable in quantity
in this market. Other outdoor flowers
are in large supply and not of much

use, save for window decorations. Green
goods of all descriptions are abundant.

VariotM Notes.

In John Mangel's window August 27
there was a sign: "Chrysanthemums,
first of the season." The "Winterson Co.
has had yellow mums for some time.

Announcements have been received of
the marriage of Hugh W. Woel and
Miss Ethel Gertrude Rough, the cere-
mony having been performed at Muskoka
Lake, Can., August 22, Mr. Woel is
shipping clerk for Bassett & Washburn
and his bride was at one time employed
in the supply department at E. H.
Hunt's. They will be at home at 6721
St. Lawrence avenue after September 12.

C. L. Washburn left on Saturday to
join his son at Sault Ste. Marie for a
fortnight's fishing and hunting trip
north into Canada beyond the beaten
tvkck.

J. J. Curran started Monday on a
week's eastern trip.

J. Enzweiler lost a ten-months-old son
on Sunday.

E. E. Pieser, of the Kennicott Bros.
Co., is at Saratoga this week.

L. Coatsworth returned on Saturday
from a four days' trip to his old home
in Canada, where he left his family. He
will rejoin them in the course of a week
or so.

F. F. Benthey spent several days at
the Benthey-Coatsworth plant at New
Castle following the convention.

Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Deamud will make
an eastern pleasure trip during the next
fortnight.

Adam Zender was 50 years old on Sun-
day. His neighbors helped him celebrate

the event and each of the gentlemen
brought as a remembrance fifty copper
pennies.

A. C. Spencer says that if the Mrs.
Marshall Field rose makes good its pres-
ent promise, it will this season be the
greatest hit Peter Reinberg ever has
made.

N. J. Wietor says that this month is
making the best record of any August
since Wietor Bros, started in business.
A fine cut of Beauty is a material as-

W. E. Lynch, of E. H. Hunt's, re-

NEV YORK.

The Market

There is no improvement worthy of
mention ip the wholesale cut flower busi-
ness in New York. It will take another
week to turn the tide. The market has
been crowded with everything, but espe-
cially with asters, of which there seems
to be no limit. American Beauty roses
will be abundant this season if present
shipments are an indication. There are
already enough and to spare. Good car-
nations are limited and fair prices are
obtained. Gladioli and hydrangeas sim-
ply overwhelm all else in quantity and
display, and serve at least the laudable
end of profuse window decoration.

Various Notes.

The Pierson U-Bar Co. on Monday re-
ceived a telegraphic request from a
party at New Orleans from whom they
h»\d never before heard, asking for a
price on a house involving some thou-
sands of dollars. In reply to their wire,
the southern chap sent his order. That
is gk.iing some.

Wri have an illustration of an all-the-
year-uround garden near New York that
is ai. interesting study, and teaches a
lesson worthy of consideration, as do the
practical developments of the Cash Reg-
ister Co. in home adornments. In Llew-
ellyn Park, N. J., Mrs. A. J. Stewart
has a glass enclosed garden. In Feb-
ruary the dogwood blossoms. All the
year around, the lawn-mower is run be-
tween the beds. At one side, under the
shelter of a blossoming magnolia and
near the trickling of water over moss-
covered tufa stones, Mrs. Stewart en-
tertains her friends. It is a simple even-
span house.

W. A. Burnham, president of the Lord
& Burnham Co., is spending three months
in Europe, not only on a pleasure trip,
but to see what the old country has
done and is doing along horticultural
lines.

Up to the present time, the greenhouse
concerns have turned out rather unsat-
isfactory and illy-printed catalogs. It
seems that Lincoln Pierson, president of
the Pierson U-Bar Co., has been study-
ing this catalog proposition for some
five or six years and the fruits of his
labor are shown in the 72-page book
they have recently issued. He is to be
congratulated on having set such a cat-
alog pace for the other concerns.

Hitchings & Co., alive to the vital im-
portance and interest of cuts employed
in their advertising, in folder and cat-
alog work, have organized a photographic
department of their own. Along these

lines, it is self-evident that in the ad-
vertising of the various greenhouse con-
cerns, the aim is actually to tell some-;
thing. The advertisements are really
conversations about the actual things
that the greenhouse concerns do.

George Sarres, of 211 West One Hun-
dred and Twenty-fourth street, was re-
cently shot in the eye by a small boy
with a rifle. The eyesight will not be
aflfected. Sarres runs a plant stand in
front of the Pabst palm garden.

The New York conventionists are grad-
ually and safely arriving home, every
one enthusiastic and with only good
things to say of everything but the
weather, and even that was quite as hot
and as humid at home as in Dayton.
A goodly number stopped over at Buf-
falo and Niagara Falls and delightful
visits were made at William Scott's, Pal-
mer's, Anderson's and the other prom-
inent florists of the Bison city. Several
spent Saturday at the Falls, and realized
a little of their self-sacrifice in foregoing
the advantages of this great natural
convention center. The genial mayor
was greatly disappointed — but is a good
loser and is coming to Philadelphia to
plead his cause another year, with the
Buffalo boys behind him. Some day
there will be an S. A. F. convention at
Niagara Falls.

The trip west was most delightful.
The committee that selected the N. Y. C.
received no adverse criticism. From
humidity and 90 degrees of depressing
heat we swept into cooling rains and a

delightful temperature, so that from
Utiea onward the benign character of
Peter Crowe served to hover over the
journey, and all went "merry as a mar-
riage bell."

I said a fortnight ago that New York
would send over fifty on its special train
to the Dayton convention. It is always
aatisfactory to find one's prophesies ful-
filled. When all the noses were counted
at Albany there were fifty-two.

J. B. Nugent, Jr., unable to accom-
pany the conventionists, did not forget
his mission in behalf of the "inner man
and woman," and an abundance of all
things needful to tickle the palate was
supplied; members of the New York
Florists' Club and their friends had
enough and to spare. Music and song,
innocent games of skilful card manipu-
lation and discussions of convention mat-
ters whiled away the passing hours. At
midnight every one was sleeping the
rieep of the just save those in the neigh-
borhood of Esler and Buerlein.

Frank Traendly was devotion itself
to the interests of the ladies and the
diBpensation of food and fruits, and Ed.
JUorval was a competent lieutenant.

Mr. Elliott did good service in behalf
of the national flower show.

At Rochester two more enthiisiasts
joined the company — Fred W. and Chas.

H. Vick, both of whom are ambitious to
have the S. A. F. honor the Flower City
with one of its conventions. In fact, if
Mr. Elliott's suggestions are carried out
it will be some such central and beauti-
ful city as Rochester that will be chosen
for the great national flower show, con-
cerning which a large measure of the
interest of the present convention will
be manifested. The usual vote by the
ladies as to the handsomest man on board
resulted in a tie, Langjahr and Lenker
carrying off the honors.

J. Austin Shaw.

INDIANAPOLIS.

Among the many successes attending
the S. A. F. convention at Dayton, that
gained by the sun will not be forgotten
soon. It certainly was a hot convention,
but in spite of the heat the attendance
was large. The number oi ladies was
noticeable, and caused much favorable
comment. It is to be hoped their num-
ber will increase each year. The exhibits
also were up to the standard, and no
doubt the convention of 1906 will go
down in history as a great success. The
Dayton florists can feel justly proud
of the result of their efforts. Quite a
number went over from this city, includ-
ing John Bertermann, A. Wiegand, Wil-

liam Billingsley, Irvin Bertermann and
wife, John Heidenreich, Carl Sonnen-
schmidt, George Wiegand, Alvin Schrie-
ber, F. S. Smith and others.

A. Wiegand and wife start for Hon-
olulu this week. They will be away
about three months. S.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market

It will hardly do to say that condi-
tions are the same as reported last week.
The continuous rains have completely
spoiled outdoor flowers, causing a better
demand for the rather moderate quan-
tity of locally grown indoor stock. Asters
are the feature of the market. Sem pie's
are now arriving in sufficient quantities
to fill the long felt want for choice
blooms of this summer favorite. It
seems that local growers are unable to
supply this market. Rochester is fur-
nishing some of the finest asters now
coming into town. All colors are selling
well, possibly excepting the pale or Day-
break pink. Roses are scarce and in fair
demand. Carnations are a little more
plentiful. The requirements of some
regular buyers, cut out during the scar-
city, are now being filled. Gladioli are
in oversupply; the choice varieties, not-

roses are plentiful and sell moderately
well. A limited quantity of greens sells
at fair prices. Taken all in all, business
is fully up to the summer standard.

The Politics of Flowers.

Scarcely had the street recovered from
the surprise of the Pennock-Meehan com-
bination of two weeks ago, when it was
announced last Tuesday that H. Bayers-
dorfer & Co. had taken the five-story
building at 1129 Arch street for their
main office and warehouses, to be occu-
pied as soon as the steam beating, elec-
tric elevators and other modern improve-
ments have been completed.

In discussing these changes, the street
agrees that the Pennock-Meehan combi-
nation is a strong one. S. S. Pennock is
accorded general approbation for win-
ning tl^e aid of one of his stypngest
competitors, and thereby strengthening
the ■wholesale center which he has been
steadily advocating west of Broad street.
Whether Charles E. Meehan will be able
to take with him his entire following in
the Philadelphia Wholesale Flower Mar-
ket is not yet known. The street, how-
ever, believes that Alfred Burton will
go with him, and probably some of the
other consignors; but confidently affirms
that John Burton (represented by Wil-
liam Stevens), William J. Moore, Berger
Bros, and several other stall holders will
remain in the Market building, though
ander what arrangements is not now
known. The wholesalers east of Broad
street, who look serious over the deflec-
tion of the Market chief, once more as-
nnned a fearful mien when the addition
of Bayersdorfer & Co. to their colony

was made known. For they argued that
with the two great supply houses close
by, the center of the wholesale business
must lie between the terminals east of
Broad street.

Various Notes.

A. M. Campbell, who has gained a
wide experience in wholesaling cut
flowers for Robert Craig & Son, the
Leo Niessen Co., Samuel S. Pennock and
Edward Eeid, will next Monday open a
new commission house at 1510 Sansom
street. Mr. Campbell has the best wishes
of his friends.

Visitors reported by M. Rice & Co.:

Paul perkowitz, of H. Bayersdorfer &
Co., was seen 'at his office ttis week. He
reports good business at the convention,
and enjoyed his visit to Dayton.

Richard Umphried, of the Philadelphia
Wholesale Flower Market, returned from
his holiday last week. He visited the
Delaware Water Gap, then went by sea
to Baltimore and Washington, winding
up a pleasant trip with two days at At-
lantic City.

Francis Canning, formerly of this city,
now in charge of the horticultural de-
partment at Amherst college, was a vis-
itor lately. He had been spending his
vacation at Atlantic City. Mr. Canning
has a large class which he instructs in
horticulture.

William J. Moore will be an important
factor in the dahlia market this season.

His principal consignor of these fall
flowers will be the well-known firm of
William F. Bassett & Son, Hammonton,
N. J.

W. E. McKissick will on Monday, Sep-
tember 3, celebrate the first anniversary
of his entrance into the wholesale busi-
ness. He has increased his facilities
and promises a larger and finer stock
than last season.

B. Eschner, of the firm of M. Bice &
Co., has returned greatly pleased with
his trip to Dayton. Business, he says,
was better than at the four previous con-
ventions combined.

The Philadelphia Cut Flower Co. has
completed the changes in its establish-
ment; the new ice-box is in working
order and in use, a smaller box being
also used for roses. The entire side
formerly occupied by the ice-boxes will
be used as a salesroom.

Answers to Correspondents.

Rerlew readers are Invited to send any ques-
tions relating to culture or marketing of plants
and flowers In Philadelphia, to Phil, in care of
the leading seed or commission booses or the
Flower Market. Each question will be submitted
to a competent person and answered under num-
ber. Correct name and address must always
accompany inquiry, but will not be published.

56. What causes jthe fronds of Ne-
phrolepis Scottii to curl, rendering the
plant unsightly?

A. This trouble is no doubt due to a
check which the plant receives at the
roots, be it over-watering or drying out.
Severe drying out causes the trouble
more frequently than any other cause.
Where the plants are grown in the open
ground, in benches, where there is a

uniform amount of moisture at
times, the trouble rarely appears.

ROCHESTER. N. Y.

The cut flower market has shown an
encouraging improvement this week.
Asters, for the best grade, have brought
$1.50 per hundred; roses, $3 to $3.50,
and gladioli, $2 per hundred spikes.
Some nice Liberty roses were on sale,
but unfortunately they were too short-
stemmed for other than piece-work.
Since the cut flower people have closed
their stores at noon Saturday, the mar-
ket is practically dead until Monday.
While the clerks dese^e a rest as well
as other employees, this idea of com-
pletely closing up is hard on perishable
stock, and the trouble might easily be
obviated by other arrangements.

A brighter feeling seems to pervade
the trade, and with cooler weather the
outlook for an active fall becomes more
promising. F. S. P.

Elyria, O. — J. T. Copaa has been
away, storing up energy for another busy
season.

Bloomington, Pa. — D. W. Crevelingis
building ah addition of 120 feet to his
greenhouse on the Light street road.
This will be devoted, as is his other
space, to the growing of early vege-
tables.

Harrisburg, Pa. — Louis Salingre has
resigned his position as head gardener
for Hon. Dan Cameron, and will go in
partnership with Gustave Hanson, the
business to be known as the Paxton
Greenhouses.

Milwaukee, Wis. — One of the small-
est lean-to houses probably erected, with
modern equipment, is that built by H.
W. Protzman, on Twenty-eighth street.
The house has three benches, ventila-
tors, water connections, etc. The heat-
ing consists of one Furman boiler, and
2-inch pipe coils under each bench.
Flowers for private use will be raised.

TORONTO.

State of Trade.

Trade during the last month has been
less than the former summer trade, on
account of the extremely hot weather,
which has driven every one out of town.
This hot spell also has had an injurious
effect upon the supply, as well as upon
the quality of cut flowers, and we now
find ourselves at the end of August with
poor stock of all principal varieties. A
few thunder storms have ruined outdoor
peas and asters, and the extreme heat
has made the indoor roses and carna-
tions small. About the only flower in
salable condition is the gladiolus. Near-
ly all our retail men report trade slow,
with the exception of a little funeral
work, and of course with that we find
them busy one day and nothing doing
the next.

Varioui Notes.

Several changes are noted in the flor-
ist business in Toronto. One of the
most noticeable is that A. C. Jennings,
who for the last few years has had
charge of the floral department of the
T. Eaton Co., has now left that firm
and rented a store in the Russell house
block. He has fitted up a first-class
flower store. It might also be noted in
this connection that there is a rumor
that the T. Eaton Co. is going out of the
flower business, as the room is wanted
for better paying departments.

D. J. Sinclair has opened a branch at
518 St. James street, Montreal. Mr.
Grey, late of Philadelphia, will be in
charge.

tion arrived in Toronto Monday morn-

factor in bringing the delegates from

OBITUARY.

John A. Vo£eI.

John A. Vogel, 82 years old, was
found dead in his bed, August 10, at
2114 Cambridge street, Baltimore. Mr.
Vogel at one time conducted a store on
Eastern avenue extended. During the
last few years he had been unable to
manage a store, and had earned a living
by taking care of flower gardens for
several residents of the eastern part of
the city.

Born in Germany, Mr. Vogel came to
this country about thirty years ago. Ten
years later his wife died, and although
he had several children at that time
who solicited him to make his home with
them, he refused, preferring to live
alone.

i»r other crops for seeds.

Tomatoes, at the eanners' and in the
produce markets, are bringing such satis-
factory prices that seed production is
likely to be cut down.

No one seems vwilling to offer any sur-
plus of Alaska peas. It is felt that
perhaps there are enough to go around,
but then again,' perhaps not.

Reports from the Ohio and Indiana
marshes state that the onion crop will
be a good one this year and that the
bulbs will be hard, dry and of good
keeping_(juality.

H.' C. Johnson, formerly with the
.fohnson & Musser Seed Co., Los Angeles,
Oal., and later with W. H. Maule, Phila-
-"ielphia, tiied at Marietta. Pa., August
.17, ,£^ged ,34 years.

A CIRCUMSTANCE that may help out if
the onion seed crop proves to be short,
is .the fact that. many of th^ local gar-
"lenenr at the different onion-growing
lections have' small patches of seed to
harvest.

The radish seed crop in southern Mich-
igan is gQing to be short, and cucumbers
and other vine crops are not doing well.
The bean fields begin to show signs of
rust, which it is feared will cut that
«-rop down considerably.

Hugh M. Taylor, Lloyd, Fla., says
that full reports from melon fields in
Florida indicate good crops. Water-
melons are exceptionally fine, with the
exception of one or two varieties. He
expects full deliveries, subject to no loss
in harvesting.

ONION. SEXS. .

The onion set harvest at Chicago is
now completed. The normal product
liere is in the neighborhood of 350,000
iiushels. This year's harvest, according
ro the returns, is not more than 220,000
bushels, which is something like 130,000
bushels less than what it should be.
The quality for the most part is excel-
lent. A few of the large growers report
that some of their plantings did not
J)ulb up well, and that thick necks have
rut their product down to a considerable
extent. The clay soil which constitutes
•i large part of their acreage, and which
usually produces the best of crops, failed
to pan out properly this year, on ac-
i-ount of dry weather at the critical
time. Two-thirds of a crop has been the
jirediction of the Review all along, and

The figures for 1906 are up to August
20. There may be another small ship-
ment of $200 to .$300 in value. Consul
Heyl adds: "For several years a
parasitic disease attacked the lily plants,
which has now been entirely extermin-
ated, owing to the careful selection of
good stock and the free use of germi-
cidal solutions. The present season's
crop is unusually small, especially in
large size bulbs, owing to the long
drought, which continued from March
9 to August 8."

-some miich heavier crops of onion^, car-
rots, etc., are resulting than were an-
ticipated. No better reports are to
hand of yields in other parts of Eu-
rope. The mildew in onion is very prev-
alent in all districts, Holland crops
in some cases being totally destroyed,
while Germany is badly affected.

No mildew is apparent in Italy, but
hail storms and other weather severities
have much reduced the yield of onion
and cauliflower in some cases is to-
tally destroyed. Probably nine-tenths of
the cauliflower seed in Italy is very hard
hit, and some high prices are being
spoken of. On the other hand, the qual-
ity of what seed is harvested is spoken
of as likely to be very good. The water-
cress seed is in some parts a total fail-
ure and some dealers are not offering

thjs line at all this year. It is a diffi-
cult matter to make any accurate esti-
mate of any seed crops many weeks
ahead this year, the weather conditions
generally prevailing all over Europe
being so erratic. This will no doubt hav6^
the effect of making the yield of all seed
crops much lighter, although the sam-
ples will be of good quality.

A storm of wind, rain, hail and thun-
der recently swept over Nottinghamshire
and Lincolnshire, such as had hardly
been known for the last fifty years, and
the streets and fields were in a few
minptes perfect rivers of water.

The hot weather has finished the pea
crops off quickly, and a much lighter
yield than was expected will be the re-
sult, as in many cases these crops were
ripened and ready for harvest before the
later pods were half grown. J. B.

ROCHESTER SEED NOTES.

The seed trade, both of Europe and
America, was well represented here last
week. W. Atlee Burpee, en route home
from the coast, inspected the aster
grounds. Messrs. Parsons and Ely, the
former from Dreer's and the latter from
Michell's, were both busy on the same
lines. J. J. Comont, from Carter's, and
S. B, Dicks, representing Cooper, Taber
& Co., are bqth looking up future busi-
ness. Disquieting reports have been re-
ceived regarding the pea crop. The
trade here thinks that these are rather
too pessimistic, preparing them for the
very worst. Cucumbers are said to be
nearly a total failure. Perhaps these
accounts may be exaggerated, and the
safest way is to conserve them with a
liberal allowance of salt.

Messrs. Charles and Fred Vick re-
turned from Dayton this morning. They
say the meeting was a success but the
heat almost unbearable.

GERMAN SEED CROPS.

The meteorological record at Erfurt
is a mixture of thunderstorms and tor-
rential rains, with a few hot days thrown
in. This has not aided vegetation to
catch up the ground lost through the
late spring, and things in general are
nearly a fortnight behind the usual time.
In some places the rains have badly laid
the crops. Warmer and drier weather,
however, now seems to have set in to
the great relief of our seed growers.

Peas have made a luxuriant growth,
and if the weather favors the develop-
ment of the pods they should turn out
a good crop. Beans did not come up as
well as usual, owing to unfavorable con-
ditions of harvesting last autumn, and
any attempt to judge their prospects as
yet would be premature. Neither onion,
carrot nor cucumber are in good shape,
while lettuce, radish, spinach and
mangel-wurzel are looking all right so
far. Cabbage, kale and beet are also
doing favorably, though the acreage is
smaller than usual.

Flower seeds are mostly longing for
some warm and not too moist weather.
Perennials are yielding well, but some
biennials, such as forget-me-not, will
naturally be short, owing to the loss of
so many plants during the winter.
Pansies are not seeding well and badly
need gome consistent sunshine, the damp
atmosphere having hindered the setting
of tho pods. Sweet peas, though late,
look liealthy, and the same may be said
in general of the annuals, which have,
however, a considerable amount of lee-

by the wet and look as if insects had
been at them, but on the whole this im-
portant culture is in a fairly promising
condition. Ten weeks' stocks are com-
ing along all right, but double wall-

grand show on the stages, and form the
admiration of numerous visitors, of

CLOVER SEED.

C. A. King & Co. say of clover seed:
Kentucky and Tennessee, where the crop
is more advanced, send some favorable
reports. Further north the crop still de-
pends somewhat upon the future weather.
Dry would be beneficial. Our reports
boil down as follows: Tennessee — This
year best for years. Fully double last
year. Kentucky — Large counties — Bet-
ter yield than last year. Small counties
— Very small crop. Ohio — Large coun-
ties— Too much rain; one-fourth crop,
same as last year. Small counties — Too
wet; poor quality; one-third last year.
Illinois — Large counties — Failure, same
as last year. Small counties — Short
crop, but more than last year. Indiana
— Small counties — Acreage one-half last
year's; one-half crop.

At Toledo clover seed closed last week
as follows: Cash, $7.30; October and
December, $7.55 bid; January, $7.40

The Market

Business shows a little improvement
over last week, but at that it is nothing
to brag of, and we could stand a lot
more without working ourselves to death.
The weather is much cooler, and if it
only holds for a while it ought to have
a good effect upon business. Several
large decorations are on for this week,
and they will use up a good lot of
blooms, which will tend to keep the
market cleared out, and tnis will nat-
urally stiffen prices a little. It is to be
hoped that the rise will be permanent.

Gladioli have been selling poorly this
year, and there have been too many of
them, but now that the bulk of the
blooms have been cut it looks as if the
demand for them will increase, and the
price advance. Some first-class stock has
been coming into this market, but the
price realized for it must have greatly
discouraged the growers. Asters have
been doing better the last week, and the
prospects are that the price obtained
for them from now on will be quite sat-
isfactory. The quality of the stock is
good, and blooms shipped from the north
are improving daily. There will be a
good supply of these flowers until frost.

Boses are coming in fairly large quan-
tities, but most of them are short-
stemmed, of poor quality, and are sold
at job lot prices. There are scarcely
any American Beauties, and other red
roses are scarce. Carnations are coming
in larger quantities every day, and the
quality is improving. They are selling
well and at good prices for the grade
of blooms. It will not be long till some
good stock can be obtained. Tuberoses
are selling well. Lilies also meet a good
demand. The maitet is well supplied
with green goods.

Various Notes.

The Cincinnati delegation, some eighty
strong, pulled out of the C. H. & D.
depot on the morning of August 21, and
betore the train arrived at Dayton twen-
ty delegates had been picked up along
the .route. The majority of those who
went are now at home again busily at
work, and one and all express them-
selves as greatly pleased at the reception
tendered them at the hands of the Day-
ton florists. That the convention was
a great success will be testiiiea to by all
of those who were lucky enough to be
present and to partake of the good
things.

Cincinnati has been visited by a num-
ber of eonventionites, who have been
visiting the various greenhouse plants.

The next regular meeting of the Flo-
rists' Society will be held in the club-

The Market.

Business is dull except for a few wed-
dings. White asters and smilax can not
be found in the market, and have to be
shipped in. American Beauties seem
to be entirely out of the market. Few
orders are booked for them, as there is
no certainty of filling them.

Boston ferns are all the go now for
plants. As the people return from their
summer trips they seem to want plants
in their homes. The sale is opening
quite early, as September is usually the
month for ferns.

Various Notes.

The People's Floral Co. has its store
in a good location, Twelfth and Main,
and has a good trade. Max Filers, one
of the proprietors, has leased the White
House greenhouses at Twenty-seventh
and Holmes streets for growing palms
and ferns for their store. Mr. Wise,
the owner of these greenhouses, has had
very poor health.

Miller Carter and wife are spending
their honeymoon in Colorado. Mr. Car-
ter is head decorator for the W. L.
Bock Flower Co. We all wish them a
pleasant trip.

Alexander Kerr has returned from his
vacation trip.

A visit to the W. H. Humfeld Floral
Co. found Mr. Humfeld busy repairing
the roof on one of his houses. A walk
through his houses found everything in
excellent growing condition. The carna-
tions are about all planted, and all stock
is looking fine.

wood cemetery. A bursting sewer sent
a torrent of water across the cemetery.
Graves sunk and tombstones were washed
from their bases. Many trees and a lot
of shrubbery and flower beds were de-
stroyed.

The path left by the torrent was a
scene of destruction. Tombstones lay
at full length, water stood in graves
which had sunk and everywhere was the
debris wnich the flood had carried with
It. Superintendent Hyer said that it
was impossible to tell the extent of the
damage. Bus'y.

The Market.

The last week, while a great many of
our florists were enjoying themselves
at the convention in Dayton, the mar-
ket was dragging along the same as
when they left. As to stock, it runs
about the same. Extra first-class is
scarce, with plenty of second-class stock
for all demands. As the demand is not
heavy, plenty of this stock went to the
dump last week.

Miss Belle Miller, of Springfield, 111.,
is sending to Kuehn about the best
roses coming to this market, among them
being extra fine Kaiserin, Carnot, Perle
and Bride. This stock being good and
clean, it sells well.

Carnations are poor. The best bring
not over $1 per hundred, all being short-
stemmed. Outdoor stock is plentiful, es-
pecially asters and tuberoses. Asters are
in big demand. They take the place of
carnations in funeral work. Tuberoses
are too many for the demand. Hy-
drangeas do not sell well.

Some of our local growers say that
young stock in roses and carnations is
looking fine, and that the St. Louis mar-
ket will be better supplied with these
this coming season than ever before. The
prospect for a large crop of California
violets among the Kirkwood growers is
good.

Various Notes.

Charles Fleckinstein, formerly con-
nected with the old Mound City Cut
Flower Co., was in town attending the
funeral of his father-in-law last week.

J. W. Dunford, W. C. Winter, F. W.
Ude, Jr., and Henry Johann, Jr., vis-
ited the different growers around Kirk-
wood last week and found everything
in first-class shape among those vis-
ited.

John L. Koenig, W. H. Kruse and J.
J. Beneke arriv^ home from the con-
vention on Saturday morning.

C. A. Kuehn is spending a few days
at his old home in Detroit before return-
ing home from the convention.

Fred Weber, Theo. Miller and Fred
Meinhardt and their wives are visiting
other points of interest before returning
home from the Dayton convention.

Those who attended the convention are
well pleased with the entertainment
given them by the Dayton boys, and the
only complaint we have to make is
against the weather-man. President
Heiss, Harry Altick, H. H. Ritter and
Warren Matthews were always on the
lookout to see that all was right, and 1
know the rest of the St. Louis delega-
tion are with me in extending the above

PACIFIC COAST.

AUGUST IRRIGATION. »

For the ordinary class of nursery stock
planted in the open, August is a good
month for irrigating. If the stock is
not allowed to stop growing at this time
it is possible to obtain a much larger
growth than would otherwise result. In
many places growers do not resort to
artificial watering in the summer time,
but keep the ground well cultivated, and
get heavy growths in this manner. This
does not do in all localities, nor with
all soils, and it is a good idea gener-
ally to flood the land at this time. If,
however, this is not done before the de-
ciduous stock has ceased to grow, it is
impossible to get it to commence grow-
ing again. With ornamental stock it
makes little difference, if it be ever-
green, as the growing season is much
longer, and it can be started at almost
any time.

Palms at this season should also re-
ceive a good irrigating, as all our hardy
varieties respond quickly to moisture late
in the season, and an extraordinary
growth is always the result. It is time
now also for early flowering bulbs to be
watered, especially Paper White narcis-
sus. It is possible to have blooms on
them before Thanksgiving if they are
given several thorough soakings at inter-
vals of several weeKs apart. G.

VICTORIA. B. C.

On August 1 and 2 the Horticultural
Society held its fifth annual exhibition,
which again proved a success. The show
took place in the drill hall, which was
well filled.

Exhibits were not so numerous as in
the previous year's show, but the quality
was much better. Mrs. M. A. Flewin
was the only trade exhibitor. Her stand
of perennials was again remarkable,
phloxes and gladioli being the main
features. One of the most telling por-
tions of the hall was a long table filled
with spikes of gladioli from many ama-
teurs, Groffs, Kelways and Lemoines
being well shown.

Sweet peas are always to the fore
in this event. J. A. Bland took a silver
cup in the championship class, with
peas having 16-inch stems, and nearly
all carrying four flowers. It was a
trifle early for dahlias, but J. Newbury
put up a Stand of 100 varieties, which
was well done. Mrs. H. Croft was
unequaled on ferns, many of her maiden-
hairs being four feet five inches across.
F. Wollaston showed a Lilium lancifo-
lium rubrum nine feet high, carrying
fifty flowers and six buds.

Notwithstanding that we are in the
midst of the dull season, all the frater-
nity seem happy. Trade is good for the
time of year. A wave of prosperity is
pouring over this part of Canada, and
we all reap the benefit. Carnations are
now being benched, and are looking fine.
There is such a demand for fruit now
that several of our florists are adding
fruit raising to their ordinary business.
The crop of strawberries is never suflB-
eient. Plums are now worth 5 cents
per pound in bulk, and early apples
bring $1.20 per box of forty-five pounds.
Wallace & Wollaston sent an exhibit of
their bulbs in charge of the provincial
exhibit of produce to the fairs at Winni-
peg and Brandon, and E. M. Palmer,

PORTLAND, ORE.

Gus Teufel and Others.

Being an advocate of early rising and
plenty of outdoor exercise, we arose one
morning at four o'clock and walked out
for a visit with Gus Teufel. Located on
the Barnes road, five miles west of the
city, and at an elevation of eleven hun-
dred feet, we were glad to make the ascent
at an early hour. At the highest point we
rested and took a bird's-eye view of the
city and surrounding country. The scen-
ery was sublime, the air invigorating,
and we exclaimed, "How great is Ore-
gon ! ' ' We found this ' ' prince of rus-
tlers" at home, and immediately started
to inspect the premises. Eighteen years
ago Mr. Teufel was a jobbing gardener;
ten years ago he purchased a few acres,
here laying the foundation of his now
rapidly increasing interests. His motto
is to do anything in the horticultural
line, from sodding a yard to supplying
a customer with a wagon-load of cut
flowers, and he has met with marked
success. The cultivating of the popu-
lar summer flowers is a big item with
him, the retail stores taking them in
large quantities.

Mr. Teufel has also given much study
to violet culture, and in this he has been
equally successful. With an eye to the
future, a further purchase was made
five years ago of 125 acres, a half mile
from the old place, where Mr. Teufel
will soon move. Forest fires had swept
over this ground and destroyed the com-
mercial value of the timber, leaving only
the charred remains. The clearing of
this big patch and putting it in shape
for cultivation is almost accomplished,
and when we saw some of the monarchs
that would average twenty cords to the
tree, and which required $5 worth of

dynamite to blow each one up by the
roots, we marveled at the pluck of this
man. The site is an ideal one, and it is
his intention to build 2,000 feet of glass
and plant half the land to nursery stock.
When all is completed we will go there
often.

Of late years Mr. Teufel has worked
up several acres of Oregon 's finest roses,
and we must not forget to mention that
he supplied the Lewis and Clark Fair
Association with $2,000 worth of roses
and other plants. After paying our re-
spects to the good lady of the house,
and drinking all the milk on the place,
we once more headed for the city, but
not for home, as we had other calls to
make.

Turning north on Twenty-third street,
our first stop was made at Burkhardt's.
Last fall Burkhardt Bros, dissolved part-
nership, Gustave taking the southeast
corner of Twenty-third and Glisan
streets, and Alfred the northeast cor-
ner. Both places are a credit to
this aristocratic neighborhood, popularly
known as the Nole Hill district. Since
the dissolution we note a great change;
seve/al new houses have been added, and
Alfred is just completing a fine new
residence with all the twentieth century
conveniences and a much needed store

room in connection with it. The Burk-
hardts have prospered from the begin-
ning.

A half block farther up on Glisan
street Hoflfman Bros, have held the fort
for sixteen years, getting their share of
the retail cut flower trade.

Another neatly kept place is that
owned by Henry Ehlen on Twenty-third
street. Three years ago he realized hand-
somely on his down-town property, and
located here shortly after. Mr. Ehlen
has gone to Germany on a visit, after
an absence of thirty years.

We were next attracted by a new
greenhouse on Raleigh street. This was
built two years ago by C. A. LeGrande
to please his wife, who has a natural
talent for the business. The general
appearance of things bears out this state-
ment.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

Business has not improved to any
noticeable extent during the last week,
and the retailers have had a quiet time,
except for an occasional funeral order.
Flowers are not especially plentiful, with
the exception of asters, and they can
be had in any quantity, at almost any
figure. Sweet peas are getting scarce
and the price has almost doubled within
the last two weeks. Carnations, on ac-
count of the fact that many of the
growers are at present changing their
houses, are not plentiful, but with the
limited amount of business at hand there
are enough to fill all requirements. Roses
are scarce for the same reason, and there
is some demand for fancy stock, Amer-

ican Beauties are hard to get at any
price unless they are of poor quality.
Brides and Maids are in poor shape
also. Smilax is getting more plentiful,
and is in good demand. Valley moves
slowly. Outside stock, such as coreopsis,
dahlias, gaillardias, scabiosa and mari-
golds, is being used extensively for the
show windows, but finds little sale.

In Oakland business is fully as quiet
as in San Francisco, although dealers in
general expect things to brighten up
shortly. The schools, have again resumed
their sessions, and a majority of the
wealthy people are back in town again.

Various Notes.

Mrs. A. Devrieze, for twenty years a
resident of San Francisco, and associ-
ated with J. Jacquemet in the manage-
ment of his store on Fourth street, died
August 6. Mrs. Devrieze was a native
of France, and was 70 years of age.

Clifford Pinchot, chief of the govern-
ment forestry service, is on a visit to
Berkeley. Mr. Pinchot is an enthusias-
tic horticulturist.

F. Ludemann, of the Pacific Nurseries,
reports a good demand for fall bulbs.

Sievers & Co. are at present busily
engaged in replanting their six large
carnation houses. Their show of tuber-
ous begonias, occupying two entire
houses, is the finest on this coast, and
they are at their best at this time.

A. Mann, Jr., has a full line of flo-
rists' supplies ready for the trade. He
lost heavily in our recent fire, but he has
received heavy consignments from the
east and Europe within the last few
weeks.

George Moore has gone to Goldfield,
Nevada, with the intention of opening a
floral establishment if he finds a good
business opportunity.

Miss Parsons, of Parsons & Coleman,
Fresno, is in town.

PEONY LADY A. DUFF.

I notice in the Eeview of July 19
an article signed by Kelway & Son, re-
plying to a note of E. J. Shaylor in
regard to Pe(>py Lady Alexandra Duffv*
It seems, according to this article, that
the variety at issue is a real, live thing,
and not a will-o'-the-wisp as vre in
America have been led to believe it to
be, by the many erroneous varieties
which have been received here for it.

As secretary of the American Peony
Society, I have received many commu-
nications concerning this peony, and
I am glad to see that Messrs. Kelway
have come forward with this statement
and express a willingness to clear the
matter up. The glowing descriptions
of this variety have caused peony lovers
to become exceedingly anxious to ob-
tain it, but so far as J can learn, there
is now no one in thi# country who can
swear that he has the correct thing, no
matter how desirous he may be of being
the proud possessor of the variety. It
wiU be doing the peony-buying public
a real service if Messrs. Kelway will
tell us where we can go in this country
to see it growing true to name. Shall
we visit Mr. Thurlow, at West Newbury,
and see his flesh-white variety; Mr.
Whitman, at Brookline, and see his white
Duchess de Nemours; Mr. Shaylor, at
Wellesley Hills, and see his Festiva
maxima and Grandiflora nivea plena;
Mr. Betscher, at Canal Dover, 0., and
see his Andromarensis; Mr. Harrison,
at York, Neb., and see his red one; or
can they name some other person to
whom the true thing has been sent?

It seems as though among all the
plants that have been sent here for this
variety there should be at least one. true
to name, and we think it incumbent
upon Messrs. Kelway to help us locate

LENOX, MASS.

The annual and perennial exhibition
of the Lenox Horticultural Society took
place in the Lenox town hall Wednes-
day, August 15. This was the best sum-
mer exhibition in the history of the
society. The hall was filled to the doors.
Particularly fine were the collections of
Phlox decussata, there being upward
of sixty varieties shown and all excel-
lent. The classes for annuals and peren-
nials were well filled. M. T. Reynolds,
gardener to Mrs. Edith Wharton, won in
the class for twenty varieties of annuals.
Mr. Reynolds has won this class for
three years successively. R. Spears,
gardener to Mrs. John E. Parsons, won
in the class for twenty varieties of
perennials, among which were Ste-
nanthium robustum. Spiraea David-
iana, Rudbeckia maxima, Rudbeckia
purpurea, Funkia subcordata grandi-
llora, and Helianthus Dowelliana. In
sweet peas, Thos. Proctor, gardener to
R. W. Paterson, was the principal ex-
hibitor; he had some remarkably fine
sweet peas. In vegetables, F. Heere-
inans, gardener to W. D. Sloane, and

A. H. Wingett, gardener to Chas. Samer,
were first. in their respective classes. Mr.
Wingett also was the most successful ex-
hibitor in the fruit classes. Mrs. W.

B. 0. Field won the table decoration
prize, with dark blue larkspur. The
following is the list of special awards:
First-class certificate to A. H. Wingett,
for new dahlia Chas. Larver; this is
a fine dahlia; its color is apricot yellow,
and it has a large flower; first-class cer-
tificate to M. F. Reynolds, for seedling
phlox; it is a white phlox of extra large
size, with a blush pink eye; first-class
certificate to 8. Carlquist, for Rubus
rossefolius (strawberry x raspberry).
The following were awarded diplomas:
E. J. Norman, for exhibit of berries; D.
Dunn, for exhibit of potted plants; A.
Jenkins, for collection of perennials; W.
D. Curtis, for collection of phlox; Geo.
W. Folsom, for Lilium auratum. Messrs.
George Thompson and A. J. Loveless
were the judges.

A cricket match took place on August
18 between a team selected from the
Lenox Horticultural Society and one
captained by Sir H. Mortimer Durand,
the British ambassador in Washington.
The former team came out ahead by
seventy runs to forty-four.

E. J. Norman, on the George Westing-
house estate, is having an orchid house.
16x90, built.

The unusually moist summer has kept
all lawns and shrubberies in beautiful
condition here this season. W.

Reisterstown, Md. — Charles B. Wright
is building a new carnation house 20x60
feet. He is almost done housing his
young plants.

MABELLE

New Pink Carnation for 1907

COLOR— A peculiar shade of lovely pink with a faint yellowish cast; several shades
lighter than the Lawson. Unlike most pinks, the briKbiest sun does not injure the color.

SIZE— 3 to 4 inches in diameter when established.

ODOR— Pleasiug, but not strong:.

8TKMS— Invariably strong, but always graceful, ranging from 12 to 30 inches during
the season.

HABIT, KTC.— A very quick, act ve grower, making specimen plants In a short time,
even from la e cuttings On account of its rapid growth, requires supporting very soon after
benchinn. Gets away rapidly, blooms early and gives long stems right from the start.

PRODUCTIVBNK88— Prodigious is the best word we know of to Ube here. It is the
most inceKsant bloomer, early and late, we have ever g'owii.

Stock limited. Delivery J anuary 6 to 10 and later. Price, $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000.

PITTSBURG.

The Market.

Trade had held up well during August,
notwithstanding the extreme heat, but
about the time the train left for the con-
vention August 20 the bottom dropped
out of business, and since that time the
wholesalers are having the time of their
hves trying to get rid of the gladioli,
asters, and hydrangeas, the small end of
which goes out the front door, the bal-
ance the garbage man sneaks out the
back way; the only satisfaction in sight
is that with this month the worst will
likely be over.

Vafiouf Notes.

Pittsburgers who were at the conven-
tion all return with a favorable report
of the meeting.

E. E. Pieser, of Kennicott Bros. Co.,
<'hieago, 111., has been here.

A. W. Smith has been having some
wonderful shows of summer flowers, all
of which he grows himself.

All growers in this vicinity are
planted up, except those who are build-
ing, and another two weeks will see
about everything under glass for the
season.

B. L. Elliott looks quite natural as
assistant to John Bader, who has just
returned from Canada.

Phil Langhans sent home a large box
of fish last week, which were distributed
among his fisherman friends, thus put-
ting some of them on edge and almost
persuading them to join him.

Lee Eiley, of the Pittsburg Florists'
Exchange, left to spend two weeks at
his old home, Clarksburg, W. Va.

Hoo-Hoo.

La Crosse, Wis. — ^Jacob Hotz has
bought the Arcadia fair-grounds for
$3,800, and will turn the property into
a nursery, also building some green>
houses.

Akgos, Ind. — The Argos Floral and
Plant Co. has just been organized, with
William E. Hand president and manager,
and Noah E. Bundy secretary and treas-
urer. A house 30x50 will be erected at
once.

August 30, 1906.

DETROIT.

Ttw Market

Owing to a spell of 95 degrees to 100
liegrees in the shade, business seemed
to be entirely suspended the last week.

Poor asters are certainly a glut on
the market, but good ones are scarce and
sell like hot cakes. Kaiserin is at pres-
ent the best white rose on the market,
.'ilthough Brides are improving rapidly.

Despite the fact that La Detroit hard-
ly fulfilled expectations as a winter rose,
it has proved to be a fine summer flower.
Ijarge numbers are disposed of daily in
the market. Maids are also picking up.
Meteors, fine at the "Detroit Cut" sev-
eral weeks ago, are poor at present.
Roses are bringing from $4 to $6 per
hundred for the best grades.

Some fairly good carnations find their,
way into the market. Morning Glory,
although small, is the best. Lilies are
scarce articles, and meet with a ready
itemand. Asparagus Sprengeri is plen-
tiful; other greens are not.

Variottt Notes.

Most of the boys are back from Day-
ton, and despite the heat and rain en-
eountered, are highly elated over the
outing, and the treatment they received.

At present writing, Mr. and Mrs. E.
A. Scribner are still looking for Cin-
cinnati.

William Hielseher has the deepest sym-
pathy of all his friends in his recent
bereavement, the loss of his father.

Smith & Fetters have been receiving
some asters from the Detroit market.

Mr. Boehringer, of Bay City, has
'isked to become a member of our club.
So doubt his name will receive a warm
welcome from the boys, as he has a
liost of friends in this city.

Do not forget the meeting September
>, especially those who failed to attend
the convention, as you will hear all
about the jolly, as well as profitable,
time enjoyed by all.

"Visitors last .week were Ed Ellsworth,
and A. Elberfield, both of Kansas City,
Mo. H. S.

Mendota, III. — Bernard Katzwinkle
is establishing a greenhouse business op-
[>osite the cemetery.

Salt Lake City, Utah. — The garden-
ers of this vicinity have organized for
the purpose of agitating the question of
establishing a public market here. They
have petitioned the city council to grant
them certain streets for this purpose.

BALTIMORE.

The Market

Baltimore and the nearby counties
have suffered considerably from the
heavy rains, and a great many washouts
have occurred in some sections, from
which growers lost many of their outdoor
plants. Asters are almost a total fail-
ure, and a perfect aster seldom is seen.
Dahlias are not up to the standard.
Tuberoses have made their appearance.
Boses are plentiful and can be had at
almost any price. Gladioli are fairly
good, and the market is well supplied
with them. Smilax is as scarce as ever.
The cut flower trade has been good. A
great many funerals have taken place,
and this has improved the store trade.

Various Notes.

September 9 to 16 the great fire jubi-
lee will take place. Special excursions
are given on all the railroads and boats.
It is expected that a grand rush will
be made on the florists, and arrange-
ments are already made to try to meet
the demand.

The Gardeners' Club sent a large del-
egation to the S. A. F. convention at
Dayton.

Celery plants cannot be had. Wet
weather is the cause of the shortage.

Watch Us Grow

ABAUCARIA8, the best decorative plants
Nature produces, our specialty.

Every man In business and life, to be success-
ful, must adopt one thing: as his specialty and
that specialty, of whatever nature it may be, he
must f uard, study and push to such an extent
that it not only beneflts himself but he must con-
tinue It so every one who seeks bis aid, services
or his article, which he advertises or practices,
will share a slice of his activity and prosperity.
I made the Importation and cultivation of arau-
carlas a special study in my life. The fig:ures
below will show my success in business from
the first year; by commencing with an importa-
tion of 260 and now, the eleventh year, my Impor-
tation has grown up to 6,000 (come and see It),
the reason beinc: that the araucaria grows yearly
more in favor with the plant consuming people all
over the country, as a most admired decorative
plant for the parlor, bed-room, dining and sitting-
rooms, stores and hotels, lawns and porches.
The outlook will be of an importation of at least
8,000 to 10,000 in spring of 1907. To secure this
vast amount for 1907, 1 am now on the ocean per
Steamer New Amsterdam, having left Hoboken
Aug. 16, striking for Belgium, to make contracts
for next year. I shall also bring over with me at
the same time, a latge lot of choice Azalea lodica
and Palms, etc.. for Christmas and Easier forc-
ln<. No money will be spared to secure for my
customers the cream of the Belgium greenhouses
only.

ROBINIAS, OR FALSE ACACIAS.

The false acacia or locust tree, Eobinia
pseudo-acacia, ranks high as an orna-
mental subject, for no other of our hardy
trees* produces puch a luxuriance of deli-
cate and graceful leafage. Though the
foliage is later in expanding than that of
several other trees it retains its freshness
throughout the entire summer should the
weather be ever so dry, for in common
with many other members of the order
(Leguminosee) to which it belongs, the
roots are of such a deep, descending
nature that the tree itself is but little
affected by continuous drought. It is
also one of the best trees that we have^
for planting in cities, as owing to the
smooth nature of its foliage dust does
not readily collect thereon, and it re-
mains fresh and green till the end of
the season. — Gardeners' Magazine.

Greeahoose Heatiog.

PIPES AND BLAST BOILER.

I have three houses in which the pipes,
for hot water, are laid in series of three
4-inch pipes to each side, the three flows
being along the south side, crossing the
end in one 4-inch, to enter the three
returns on the north side. I think this
plan is expensive to heat, because the
flow of water is retarded. Am I right!

I have made one line a flow and used
a bend of two elbows to make a return
on the flow side, and crossed over with .
a single line to catch the third pipe on
the opposite side for a return, making a
flow and return on that side, the same as
in the first system. I figure this will
give less friction, and it is only sixty-five
feet instead of eighty, as before, to the
beginning of the return.

1 am burning slack in ft hot blast
heater. Would a 2-inch pipe rwn from
outside near the flue, and brought into
the boiler to enter the top of the fire-
box near the center, facilitate combus-
tion? In a hot blast heater in my resi-
dence, I have noticed little waste. Can
I apply these outside pipes to my green-
house boiler and get the same results!
How many of them should I use?

E. L. K.

I think the re-arrangement you have
made in your heating plant an excellent
one. The only modification I should
have made would be to have arranged
one flow pipe on the north and one on
the south side of the greenhouse, and
used each of the other two pipes on the
same side for returns, omitting the pipe
across the end of the house altogether.
Your plan may, however, work quite as
well.

I have had no experience with the hot
blast construction, but see no reason why
if it works well in a house heater the
same would not hold good in a green-
house plant. Am sorry I can not aid
you more with this problem. L. C. C.

PIPE ARRANGEMENT.

I have an eaat-and-west greenhouse,
16x75 feet, 5%-foot walls, lO^^-foot

keep the house at 60 degrees with zero
weather outside. "What is the matter?

I am building an addition 18x32 feet,
running north and south, with 4-foot
sides, 9 1^ -foot ridge. I have some 1^4 -
inch pipe, and some 3-inch and 3% -inch
boiler tubes. Can I use these in the new
house? How shall I arrange the piping?
I want 60 degrees with zero outsiae.
Where should the highest point in the
supply pipe be, and how deep should the
boiler be set? A. T. B.

The piping in your house is somewhat
deficient. There should be fifteen IV^-
inch returns instead of twelve. For hot
water under pressure I prefer the up-hill
system for the main flow instead of the
down-hill arrangement as you have, i. e.,
the highest point at the most distant
point from the boiler, rather than di-
rectly over it. The expansion tank should
be large and placed as high above the
level of the pipes in the system as pos-
sible; ten to fifteen feet is little enough.
Connect the expansion tank with the
boiler by means of a 1-inch or ^-inch
pipe to the main return close to the
toiler. The boiler should be ample to
heat both the houses.

The new house can be piped as above
suggested with the following: A 2-inch
flow, with the highest point at the far-
theafr end, placed under the ridge of the
house; and at the far end divide it to
return by two or three coils containing
in all eighteen l^^-inch pipes, the length
■of the house ; or nine 3-inch pipes ar-
ranged in three coils, containing one
flow and two returns under each of the
three benches, will do the work.

Dear Sirs: Replying to your letter of the 2nd inst., regarding your Eclipse Boiler I installed in my (green-
houses two years ago, will say that the boiler is givi^ g me best of satisfaction. At the same time 1
installed your boiler, I built an addition to my greenhouses with about 3UUU sq. ft. of glass, and the first
winter I saved t75.Uu in fuel. This is a very large saving when you consider that I nrated 3000 sq. ft.
additional glass and at the same time saved t76 00 on fuel.and if I were to install another boiler, I certainly
would have no other than your Eclipse." Yours truly, LOUIS OTTO, Neenah, Wis., Aug. 11, 1806.

north-and-south houses. Which line would
you tap to heat the new house? I want
to use 2-inch pipe in it. W. P. K.

If you will carry an independent flow
from the boiler to the new house, which
I think the best plan, you can take it
from the opening that seems most con-
venient. It is likely that by dividing
the flow pipe close to the boiler each

house will be likely to get its share of
heat, while if divided at considerable
distance from the boiler one house may
rob the other. A 2-inch flow pipe in the
house will provide sufficient heat for this
house if the water is maintained at 180
degrees. L. C. C.

SYSTEM OF FIVE HOUSES.

We have five houses, built together,
partition wall between only the north
house and the next one. Each section
is 14%xl20 feet, six feet to gutters, ten
feet to ridges. The north house wants
60 degrees, the others 50 to 55 degrees.
On the manifolds at the end of the
houses farthest from the boilers we have
rearranged the connections so that the
hot flow enters them at the end nearest
the boiler, instead of passing them and
entering at the other end. "We did this
because we found the two lower coils
were cold when the upper ones were
hot. Does this change make any differ-
ence ?

We have 'a 2i^-inch flow and seven 2-
inch returns under each gutter, with
3-inch main returns, increasing to 4-
inch as they enter the boiler at the end
of the middle house. Our boiler is over-
loaded. We have a chance to buy a
boiler rated 1,500 square feet. Can we
change the system so as to install this
boiler for auxiliary use, with steam, on
cold nights? A riser in the middle house
has the expansion tank connected at the
top, but not the highest point. What
changes do we need in the piping if we
use the auxiliary boiler? J. W. M.

No, the slight modification made in
the way the flow pipe enters the mani-
fold would make no difference in the
operation of the plant. If you have the
expansion tank connected with the riser
in the manner you say, this is bad.
Cut it out and make connection with
the expansion tank directly to the main
return near where it enters the boiler,
then elevate the expansion tank, which
should be at lesjst fifty gallons capacity,
twelve or fifteen feet above the highest
pipes in the system.

Jf you wish to install an auxiliary
boiler to be used for steam during se-
vere weather, connect it up with the sys-
tem in the usual manner, but locate the
boiler so that the water line in it will
be two and one-half to three feet below
the level of the returns in the green-
houses. Provide valves in a part of the
returns so they may be placed in or out
of commission as occasion demands, and
place valves on the flow and return pipes
of the hot water boiler, also upon the
pipe connecting the returns with the ex-
pansion tank.

After cutting out the hot water boiler
the water must be drawn out of the sys-
tem. Air valves will be required on all
coils as well as facilities for draining
the pipes when steam is to be used. The
water heater will be made more efficient
by elevating the expansion tank in the
manner suggested. L. C. C.

THREE END-TO-END HOUSES.

I have three greenhouses, built one
onto the other, and wish to know how
to pipe them for hot water heating to
the best advantage. They run east and
west; the first, to the west, is 10x12,
wooden walls, open end into the sec-
ond house, which has three benches,
brick walls, and is 14x20 feet. The
third house is 16x30,. with three benches,
and a pond dividing the space with the

from the second house. All have walls
two feet nine inches, and 10% -foot

east corner, and is 8x12 feet.

The coldest weather I have known
here was 14 degrees above zero, and
our freezing weather is usually for about
fifteen days in January. I should like
to keep a night temperature of about
55 degrees, and want to carry a higher

will be shut off by glass partitions and

carried just under the ridge through
the whole, I should suggest the follow-
ing: Carry a 2%-inch flow from boiler
to partition between the second and
third; there use a reducing tee and con-
tinue the riser, using 2-inch to the par-
tition between the first and second, where
it can again be reduced from two to one
and one-half inches, also using a reduc-
ing tee. From each of these tees pipes
can be carried down the gable to supply
radiating pipes on the side walls or un-
der the side benches. In addition to
the 2 1^ -inch flow the third house will
require four 2-inch pipes under each side
bench. The second house should have
three 2-inch pipes under each side bench,
and the first house three 1 14 -inch pipes
under each side bench. It will be well
to have the top of the boiler lower than
the level of the pipes under the benches
by several inchfes, twelve to eighteen if
possible. The main return should be
planned in the same manner as the riser
and connected with boiler with as few
angles as possible. L. C. C.

EXPANSION TANK TROUBLE.

I am thinking of overhauling my heat-
ing system and want to hear a word of
advice. In two houses, I have on each
of the four walls three 4-inch cast-
iron return pipes, and the six pipes in
each house return to thoi boiler through
a 4-inch pipe twenty feet long. Now
I want to make the six 4-inch pipes in
each house return to the boiler through a
6-inch stone tile. Would this be advisa-
ble? I know something is wrong with
the returns, as when I get the water
heated up good the boiler pounds it out
through the expansion tank. H. A. D.

While you do not state the point at
which your expansion tank is connected
with the heating system, I am of the
opinion that it is connected with the flow
pipes not far from the boiler, and that
it is not elevated far above the highest
point in the system. If this is the case
you can overcome your difficulty almost
entirely by connecting the expansion
tank with a %-inch pipe to the main
return, within fifteen or eighteen inches
of the point where it enters the boiler,
and elevating the expansion tank several
feet above the highest point in the
system, eight to ten feet. Make the ex-
pansion tank large, fifty gallons, and I
do not think you will find it necessary
to modify the size of the main return.
I do not think it advisable to attempt to
use a stone drain for the main return,
even if it were necessary to use 6-inch
pipe. " L. C. C.

When you order that new boiler, omit the
common stationary grate bars and get the

The Market

Trade the last few days has been
better, no doubt due to the cool weather
which we had. The week started out
extremely warm, and none of the dealers
did anything to speak of. Stock is
much better, and the quality is good
considering the extreme heat. Boses
are especially good, and there are plenty
of them. Carnations are scarce. Asters
are filling in nicely, and the stock is
good. ) Outdoor flowers are used exten-
sively (in store decorations. Colored
gladioli are also used, and show up in
good shape. Funeral work has been
heavy.

St.PauL

J. W. Hoffman and Gus Colberg have
returned from the convention, and were
more than pleased with the good time
they had.

C. F. Vogt says trade is good a few
days out of each week.

August Vogt and family are visiting

Holm & Olson have been delayed to
some extent in getting the ironwork
for their new store, on account of a

1 before they are installed in their new
quarters.

THE STEEL
COVERING

of the wooden bara In U-Bar houses
eliminates Interior woodwork with
Its tendency to decay— the gralvan-
Izing' of all steel members prevents
rustlngr.

U-BAR OREENHOUSES
Are the Best Qreenhouses Built

because none are so thoroughly
protected against decay and rust-
consequently, none so enduring:.

Our pialerial is T^e Best

and it is also the cheapest. The most important thing
about this statement is that it's true. The next most
important thing is that we can prove it. Of course
you don't believe us, but if we are right you are
losing money every time you build with other material.
It will cost you nothing to inquire and it may save you
"lots of money," also time and trouble. Why not
write today ? . We will send you a catalogue and will
be glad to talk the matter over any time.
